someone commented on a clip from a period drama with something like “is it just me or does anyone else have a hard time connecting with characters if they don’t exist in the modern day?” nah, wild thing to say. I actually have the opposite problem. I have a hard time consuming media set in the present day/past 20 years. a character will pull out an iPhone and text their love interest and I’ll feel disgust and secondhand embarrassment for reasons I cannot fully explain.

Huh i thought i was the only one who dealt with this shit. I'm nearly unable to watch most works of fiction in modern day realistic settings with characters in my age group for reasons that escape me entirely. Is it some kind of psychological phenomenon or do i just have Weird Hermit disorder

One time I regained sentience after anesthesia right in the middle of explaining how Tyrian purple was made to a very bemused nurse so I no longer fear revealing major secrets under anesthesia, I just assume I went Wikipedia mode.

Transitioning as someone with no particular internal sense of gender feels a little strange. Im going to be very different yet the same, likely more the same than even I suspect. Plus the hormones havnt had a very strong affect on my mood or state of mind so its like, im very normal rn just changing my body schematics as a hobby. (Wich i am pretty excited about)

[mote-of-ash]

lol, lmao even

[mote-of-ash]

sorry taro i cant leave this one in the replies because like,

YEA

I wonder why i never formed a gender identity over nearly 30 years. "surely its just because im just a little genderless blob :3 just a little guy who doesn't get any of that, anyway" draws all my characters with progressively fatter tits and asses and hips and wearing cute clothes that I am not so subtly gazing longingly at. is the void where a sense of gender would be in the room with us right now. its really why i cannot take egg prime directive or people pissing the pot about suggesting someone is transfem seriously because like, i deffo got prodded a little by online friends, and i cannot blame anyone else for why it took me so long to transition. but goddamnnnnnnnnnnnnn if even one person in my physical life had been even a little bit supportive of my weak little GNC heart maybe we'd have ended up in a different place at a different time. dreams of the rain or whatever

everyones always getting isekai'd into a fantasy rpg setting. no more. i woke up in anotehr world as a footsoldier of the galactic empire. reborn as the princess of the candy kingdom. i got hit by a sports car and went to radiator springs (cars) (the movie) (mater is there)

[redstonedust]

(looking in the mirror) wow this character design really communicates nothing. garbage silhouette and shape language. definitely needs to be redesigned.

[redstonedust]

funniest part of reviving ocs i made as a kid is being like "yeah i always imagined them as a mature member of the group who really has their shit together" [checks their info] "what the fuck do you mean they were supposed to be fifteen years old"

graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge

Men, boys, and eggs of my acquaintance, I cannot stress this enough:

Nobody worth being with will ever judge you based on your deli sandwich choices.

Sincerely, a dude who had to watch like two dozen men pretend to find vegetarian sandwiches unthinkable in order to maintain a sense of masculinity today.

[copperbadge]

The sando gender spectrum I osmoted this weekend according to a specific type of dude:

1. Roast beef is the most masculine of sandwiches. The only sandwich it is permissible to ask for by name (we did not have roast beef as an option).

2. Ham is an acceptable substitute for roast beef. There appears to be some controversy, however, over the bread options; we only had two, croissant or ancient grains roll (gluten free). Croissant is considered slightly more manly than ancient grains UNLESS you are under 20 in which case "ancient grain" sounds badass.

3. Turkey is okay, obviously not ham but if you don't like ham it's an option as long as you don't show enthusiasm for it. Definitely has to have mayo however. Mustard is a bit much. (Initial field research indicates mayo is the manliest of condiments but we have not introduced barbecue sauce into the study yet.)

4. Chicken salad is woman food. Absolutely not acceptable unless you announce loudly that it's for your wife or that she's making you for your health.

5. Vegetarian wraps require a recoil reaction or a sheepish "oh, no, no, what meats do you have?" protest. We had the veggie wraps off to one side so vegetarians could get to them more easily, and guys would come up to the wrap boxes because there was no crowd/line, then I'd say "that's veggie wraps" and they'd stagger back.

To be clear, most of the people of all genders at the event were totally fine, this was a small and specific set of guys -- mostly older dudes and (unsurprisingly) their young sons or grandsons. Maybe 20-30 people out of the 400+ attendees. But it really was both sad and a little funny to watch them unnecessarily assert their manhood using deli meat to me, a guy in a floral shirt with neon blue hair handing out box lunches at a charity event. My indifference to your masculinity is so vast it has its own international calling code, fellas.

Friends, I have volunteered in the lunch tent once more and I have new scientific findings to share regarding the Sandwich Gender Spectrum.

We still do not serve roast beef, the most toxically manly of all sandwiches, but it turns out that there is a sandwich option almost as masculine, the mention of which will preclude a certain type of dude from even asking for roast beef:

The Italian.

For those unfamiliar, an Italian sandwich in most American sandwich shops is composed of ham, capicola, salami, and sometimes pepperoni, with provolone, the usual sandwich veggies, and a drizzle of Italian dressing.

The hierarchy from ham-downwards remains undisturbed by this revelation currently rocking sandwich discourse, but new data has indicated that the Italian sandwich occupies a special place above ham and technically below roast beef but so acceptable a substitute for roast beef that I only had one guy ask me for it this time around. I would say, "We have ham, Italian, turkey, or veggie," and the Certain Kind Of Man would look skeptically at the ham and then ask for an Italian.

I am now working on my doctoral thesis in Sandwich Gender, where I will be examining whether there is a direct correlation between how masculine a sandwich is and how weirdly homoerotic the name is. I'm going to call it "I'd Like An Italian: Gender And Sexuality Between The Buns."

[tgirl-subway-the-dark-ages]

i find this very interesting

[oak1985]

I would like to submit additional data for your groundbreaking study. The deli nearest me has some sandwiches named after four private schools in the area. The boys school: roast beef. The two girls schools: vegetarian (different veggies, color coded to the school colors). The co-ed school, turkey.

[copperbadge]

I feel....I feel so peer-reviewed. Independent replication of results!

[redstonedust]

im bad to argue with because i have jesters blood if you misintepret me i'll just go along with it. when i was a teenager i was trying to explain the concept of the heterosexual default to someone and they were like "so you think everyone should become bisexual?" and i was like. what the hell sure. lets have legally enforced bisexuality. i'll die on a hill for the bit dont fuck with me.

[saturnsuv]

being mutuals is like we’ve never talked but i saw your vent post and do you want me to kill that person for you. still won’t talk to you tho bc that is scary sorry. love you

[redstonedust]

i do find the rules around clothes fascinating because of how made up it all is. we invented the idea of covering our bodies from the elements because we lack fur like other mammals and then made up all these rules around it and now people will unironically tell you "men cant wear skirts its unnatural" girl none of this is natural. we are born naked and made up the rest as we went along. hope this helps.
