masc2masc | fem2fem

masc2masc (masculine-to-masculine): one who considers themself to be transitioning from masculine to masculine

fem2fem (feminine-to-feminine): one who considers themself to be transitioning from feminine to feminine

[pt: masc2masc (masculine-to-masculine): one who considers themself to be transitioning from masculine to masculine

fem2fem (feminine-to-feminine): one who considers themself to be transitioning from feminine to feminine. end pt]

anon asked for the masc2masc flag and i wanted to make a fem2fem flag to go with it!

these terms are similar to male-to-male and female-to-female, but for masculine and feminine identity rather than male and female, so i used a similar flag format. anon suggested shades of yellow and orange for the masc2masc flag, and since i associate those colors with the sun, i chose 'lunar' blues and purples for the fem2fem flag!

I was thinking about it and I feel like 4x06 would have been an interesting place to actually break up Caroline and Tyler after Dean’s (?) death. Like I love Caroline and her willingness to kill someone else's loved one in order to save her own. She's a girl who has proved her answer to the trolley problem at least three times on the show. But it's also understandable if Tyler was not cool with his girlfriend being complicit in his friend’s murder and this being something they can't move pass, for the time being at least. They still love and care about each other but it's not working.

This would progress things in potentially different ways. One it could potentially propel Tyler into being more involved in the season long arc involving Silas. He would become more isolated (sorry Tyler) and after Hayley betrays him and the hybrids get killed, Shane (and possibly Hayley) could appear telling him they know a way to bring them (and Carol) back. Tyler has no interest in the cure (other than giving it to Klaus possibly but that plan never made sense to me as it seems like a dead human Klaus would still kill everyone in his sireline including Tyler, but this could also be part of the plan) but he would have a huge desire to save his pack and make up for what he would perceive as his failure. This season is all about the crazy things people do because of grief and lost family, why not include Tyler in that and let him be seen even after he leaves town as he works for Team Shane. Because the show had a terrible habit of giving him a good storyline in the first half or so in the season and then having him disappear in the second half.

On the flip side, as this season was trying to push Klaus and Caroline together more, an actual legit breakup would help with that. And when Caroline isn't in on the plan with the hybrids, Klaus can cherry pick the things about what happened he actually tells her. (Manipulation is bad yes, but also in character.) On top of that it can develop the Stefan x Caroline x Klaus dynamic they set up but didn't fully utilize, the three of them all wanting the cure for Elena for different reasons. Caroline fully throwing herself into the plan to avoid her feelings about the breakup makes sense. We could see her going to Klaus to find out as much as she can about the sirebond (saw a post where someone suggested this recently and I agree they should have used the older vampires for info more), as well as trying to get more information about Silas. We could still see them deciphering the sword together, only their semi on the same team now. Maybe Caroline even gets to go to the island this time and be more involved in the story line as well. The two of them discussing the fact that she doesn’t want the cure for herself under better circumstances (aka where he hasn’t just bit her). Maybe when working together the lines begin to blur more, things are less black and white, and Stefan’s own blurry morals and complicated relationship with Klaus don't help things.

I don't know that any of this actually works with how they set things up for The Originals. But honestly, I don't think they set up a lot of things for the spin-off super well despite apparently knowing about it before they started writing the season. And for all the anti-magical baby plot people, perhaps this could fix that.

I don't know if this would actually work, but these are my thoughts when I’m trying to sleep. I watched season four clips recently.

I think it's really interesting that a lot if not all of the Smile ARG is clearly talking about the Weird/Snowgrave route and what it represents in the overall narrative and metanarrative. I especially think the ferris wheel response is a fantastic example of this. "You want to see them together so badly" refers to the player forcing Noelle to ride the ferris wheel with Kris when she would normally choose to ride it with Susie. This is the player turning fate to be how THEY want it, and whoever is answering the ARG is clear about that fact. This is what YOU want, so badly, that you're willing to start the route. "You want to see those red eyes dance" refers to Kris's red eyes, and how much more you're using them as your puppet in this route. The response mentions multiple times that "it's wrong," every part of it, because everything about this relationship is. The Weird Route, with all of its toxic marriage metaphors, should not have happened.

"You'll make it. You always do... don't you?" This is the overall message. "The heart does what it does." The player will do whatever they want, and if they want to continue this route, "what good is it for [them] to say?" If this is Gaster, it may be him hinting at the idea that he doesn't want you to continue this, that this is not what he planned for (though, I do also think that the theories about him wanting this and deliberately hinting towards it in the Sword Route are Very Interesting). Perhaps it's reverse psychology, or a form of egging (haha) the player on: "don't you?" almost sounds like a challenge, as if to say, "if you want this to happen, you can!" Or, it could simply be another hint towards the player's curiosity or wants leading them to do bad things, similarly to the Genocide Route in UNDERTALE, where you reset the timeline just because you wanted to see what would happen.

As Sans puts it, "No matter what, you'll just keep going. Not out of any desire for good or evil... but just because you think you can. And because if you can, you 'have to.'"

Hello extremely notable All for One and Izuku parallel

These images are meant to visualize that both of them aren't the type to have one grand plan. They have a goal/set of goals and then formulate all of the potential ways those goals can be achieved. (Which is why even when things obviously don't go according to plan, All for One still acts like it was part of his scheme. Because he just immediately hops to one of his contingency plans.)

Also, it's important to mention how these visualizations are different. All for One's are more numerous and complex due to his level of experience. But there are no pieces in All for One's visualization - they aren't people to him. Izuku has something like chess pieces to represent each person he sees on both sides. It's also relevant how each piece looks like a pawn - they all have the same value as human beings whether they represent himself, his allies, or his enemies

In lieu of my last post here's some boy group songs I think girl groups should cover:

Itzy - DNA (by BTS): especially with their loco era styling

Itzy - Put your Hands up (by 2pm): I feel like jyp has already done this but I can't find it anywhere so I might have hallucinated it.

Itzy - Just Right (by GOT7): again they should have already done this idk why they keep missing opportunities like this

IOI (ot11) - Energetic (By Wanna one): no explanation needed.

IOI - love scenario (by iKON): chungha and sejeong's vocals would sound so good on this

Aespa - Love Shot (by exo): I'm genuinely surprised they haven't done it yet. Also love shot is a girl group song now. I don't want any man touching that song. Not even exo themselves. Only girl groups I'm looking at you fromis, artms and tripleS zenith.

Le Sserafim - Cheers (by Svt leaders): this might need a lineup but I cannot get Chaewon singing cheers out of my head.

Le Sserafim - Spell (by Svt pu): continuing my lsfxsvt agenda. I know Kazuha would devour this.

ILLIT - steady (NCT Wish): this is small potatoes. Like incredibly small potatoes. Like they literally have the same concept.

ILLIT - Baggy Jeans (by NCT u): now we're talking. I think iroha would do this amazingly.

NMIXX - Fiction (by b2st): I can hear it so clearly in my head I'm gonna cry.

NMIXX - ADTOY (By 2PM): you heard blue valentine and heavy serenade you know how much they yearn.

tripleS - Blood, Sweat and Tears (by BTS): I need this so bad you don't understand.

Artms - Mirotic (by tvxq): peak lesbianism.
