I gotta fall into a hand print?! @sufferwell1013 - Tumblr Blog

These prints and more from this May are now available in the shop!

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

Genuinely I’ve thought about this a lot. Something I think actually kinda fucked with my perception of gender was the idea that“if you ever question your gender identity, you are trans.” It took a lot of introspection to decide I wasn’t, and that I was comfortable just genuinely not caring.

I kept using she/her pronouns because to me they’re comfortable, like jeans and a t-shirt. Sometimes (especially after I started college) people will use they/them, and it feels like getting a complement for a fancy hat, like it’s fun but not noteworthy. No one’s ever used he in person, but online it’s felt similar.

Like completely and 100% honestly, I don’t want or need a label for it. I know people will call me she for the rest of my life and I’m happy with that. I’d also be happy with it if they called me he or they. Same with my body. My feelings on gender are it’s whatever

Another kind of diversity we need in writing is protagonists without love interests. Give me adults with full-fledged stories that don't include falling in love.

One thing that I like very very much about the way Black Sails handles Miranda is that like. She’s obviously dead from the beginning; she represents the hope of reconciliation, and there’s only one way for that to end.

But.

But, in any other show, they would have forced her to die innocent. Not of everything, perhaps. She could be allowed to know she was betrayed before she died; showing her shock and sorrow would heighten the tragedy. But still, it would have to have blindsided her. She wouldn’t have gotten a word in edgewise. Other characters would be able to use “this isn’t what she would have wanted” against Flint. This is all very classic for this type of plot beat.

Which is why it’s so great that the show doesn’t go that way. Miranda dies, yes. She dies quickly and brutally and at the hands of a person who didn’t give a fuck about her as a person. But she does get something; she gets to die enraged.

She is the one who sees the clock. She is the one who puts it together. She is the one who weighs the choice: go along with the reconciliation she pushed for and wanted, or take the violent path, with all the miseries of the last ten years and the risk of death?

And she chooses. She dies for it in the very next instant, but she chose.

Which is a hell of a lot more respectful of her as a character than dying still wanting England’s forgiveness would have been.

viejito-at-heart

everyone tells me that ADHD isn't an excuse for being lazy and that there are people with ADHD who have overcome their symptoms and are successful but every day I drag around an invisible dopplegänger of myself who is horrible and listless and always complains. and he is so heavy. I'm ambitious and I'm passionate but he isn't and the problem is that to get anywhere in life I have to grab him by the leg and pull him along the whole way, kicking and screaming, and sometimes it gets exhausting. sometimes he pulls me down with him. and it gets a bit difficult to explain to people why I'm lying down on the floor in pain when they can't see him.
