When you meet Edward Elric he gives off the impression that he's the short-tempered hot-headed "violence is the answer to all life's questions" kind of protagonist, and it's in fact incredible character craft that he's actually the character who ends the series with a negative-3 kill count.

[phantomrose96]

people killed: 0

direct orders of "you really really need to kill this guy" ignored: 1

ongoing murders being committed by Ed's own friends/colleagues that Ed got in the way of to specifically stop that murder from happening: 2

[phantomrose96]

God's worst soldier Edward Elric. Showed up as the youngest member of the Amestrian army, took millions of dollars from them, never followed a single order, helped dismantle their fascist regime, left with a lower kill count than he arrived with, then fucked off to go be a house-husband. Character of all time.

[aka-blaa]

You know, when you said "negative-3 kill count," I, who haven't seen the anime, thought, "He resurrected 3 people?????" But I'm seeing here on the wiki that apparently resurrection in this anime is a terrible idea.

Herding sheep, looking after kids, and playing healer in videogames: every day you're surprised of the sheer innovative genius of how they'll find the most inconvenient goddamn places just outside your reach to get hurt or put themselves in lethal danger.

[drafty-castle]

Isn’t this sheep in real life?

Children in real life also.

It. It literally did. That was literally precisely the point.

Sometimes people will be like, "Isn't it disgusting that this rich guy owns this mega-yacht?" and my response to that is that I really don't care. I also have a bunch of dumb crap I don't strictly need.

But finding out that Donald Trump voted by mail in the last election has made me want to eat the rich more than any picture of a mega-yacht or tasteless mansion or gold plated toilet.

Oh, the billionaire with the enormous staff and private plane can't be bothered to actually go to a physical polling place, but he's going to complacently tell the guy working a night shift job six days a week that it shouldn't be a problem for him to make the time to physically stand in line at the polling place?

Fuck. You.

And fuck every rich piece of shit Republican following him on this.

pop-evopsych is maybe the worst thing to have happened like ever. makes you wonder how could it have possibly been beneficial to our ancestors to think of our brains like that?

[danceundersparklinglights]

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

I was at the market today and a young man was very rude to the tea vendor. He said the tea was "just hot leaf water." Then proceded to laugh at the vendor.

He is correct. It is hot leaf water. And the leaves matter. And the temperature of the water matters. And the vessel you drink it from matters. And who you share it with matters most of all.

Everything is "just" something, if you are determined to miss the point.

I have to add that gender euphoria for cis people doesn't always come from like, conforming to your gender in a "stereotypical" way

I've always been very comfortable with my gender but I didn't Really Like being a woman until I cut my hair short and started dressing/presenting more "masculine."

When i realized that I could look "manly" as a woman I truly felt comfortable and really...more "like" a woman. I enjoy being masculine and it strengthens my connection to womanhood and it's just kinda cool

[emvnah]

witnessed this in real time after giving my then-3-year-old daughter a pixie cut. Once people started assuming she was a boy, because at the time she was neck deep in a spiderman phase, she started having symptoms of gender dysphoria. Both of her moms being under the trans umbrella, we could recognize it very easily. She started wearing exclusively pink and dresses after that and she's never looked back. She still loves short hair but opts for a bob instead.

There's an early episode of the Doctor Who reboot, The End of the World, that introduces Cassandra O'Brien. If you've been on tumblr long enough, you've seen her, even if you haven't watched the show:

In this episode, there's a throwaway line (it gets expanded upon in a novel, apparently) implying that she is transgender. And perhaps I'm reading too much into RTD's intentions here, but in neither that episode nor any of her repeat appearances, her gender is never denied.

What she is denied is humanity, on the basis of having had so many surgeries to keep herself looking "young and pretty" that she is just a flap of skin with a face stretched across a rack. That's not even subtext, that's just text, Rose has a brief monologue about it towards the end of the episode.

And there's something so deeply unexamined there, about how surgery to change your gender is fine and morally neutral, but anything else that modifies your body is Unnatural and Bad and makes you Less Human.

Anyway rewatching that episode and noticing that dissonance radicalized me even more in favor of transhumanism and bodily autonomy. Your body is yours and you can do literally whatever the fuck you want with it and nobody should be able to stop you. There's no amount of body modifications where you stop being meaningfully human. There's no moral element to cosmetic surgery, and getting it to look closer to how you want is just as Fine for cis people as it is for trans people.
