i'm a man in the most girly way. my gender is gay. i'm transmasculine and i also loooove pretending to be a girl (in a gay man way). i'm a man but i'm not a man. i'm definitely not a girl but i also am a girly girl. hope that helps.

is it too late to ask for armin hcs? 👉🏽👈🏽

it's never too late for armin headcanons <3

he doesn't really post on instagram, or on any social media, a lot. if he does, it's usually scenery, buildings, interior of buildings, and just overall more "aesthetic" things on his feed

speaking of his social media usage though, he really doesn't know how to use snapchat. he never used it in high school so it never stuck with him. eren and mikasa make fun of him for it almost daily.

between high school and university, he invested a lot of time to try and make himself "look better" to help his self esteem and confidence. mikasa and eren were all for it, wanting to see him shine.

this led to the big chop of his hair, getting rid of his more "weeby" shirts (he still has a few though) and investing more into having a capsule wardrobe. he also got some jewelry, one of which includes a simple silver chain that he wears almost daily. he still collects figures and manga though, don't let them fool you. he's still a loser at heart.

he plays a lot of video games on top of reading manga and watching anime too. his ultimate favourite game remains the pokemon series. his all time favourite pokemon are squirtle and slowpoke.

armin makes sure that he goes to bed at the same time every day so that way he can wake up at the same time. he doesn't even need an alarm, he can just wake up and go about his day.

on that same note, this man cannot handle caffeine. gives him the shakes so bad that it stresses him out. also because then he won’t be able to sleep. so he refuses to drink coffee or energy drinks for this reason. he'll stick to tea, gatorade, and water.

he's an absolute slut for popcorn. is there a specific reason why? no. he just compulsively eats it.

armin loves in quality time and words of affirmation, and likes to be loved in words of affirmation and physical touch.

once you're friends or are dating for a bit, you'll notice his shell start to break and he really starts to let loose. this is around the time you find out that he's actually pretty petty, snarky, and sarcastic. it's his scorpio sun.

once you're comfortable with each other and you make a sarcastic remark at him, prepare for him to come back with his own remark. (you'll especially notice his snark when you're out with eren and he does something stupid).

he likes when you're a bit sarcastic, snarky, and/or mean though. it... it kind of turns him on. not that he'd ever admit it.

back to his scorpio sun... he is a bit more on the possessive side. it might be due to insecurities, but we'll say it's the scorpio tendencies. he wants people to know you're dating him, and wants to leave that "mark" on you. he's the type to buy you some expensive jewelry that you don't need to take off when you shower for that exact reason.

armin likes when you're possessive back. make him feel like he's yours and only yours. wear his things (clothes, jewelry, cologne, whatever). he might... get a bit "bricked up" if he sees it though.

he has the most sensitive ears and neck. do with that information what you will.

loves having your fingers in his hair, and just playing with his hair in general. it is a sure fire way to instantly calm him down.

armin sometimes gets quite physically affectionate without realizing it. it can be his hand holding your face, or on your own hand or arm, on your back, on your leg, or just generally holding on to you. if you, or someone else points it out, that's when he gets super blushy and all flustered. otherwise, he doesn't (because he doesn't realize it).

if you're the one initiating the physical affection, then he's going to be blushing up to the tips of his ears right off the bat.

he isn't one for overt public displays of affection - he likes the simple kisses, like a peck to your cheek, hand holding, and maybe a quick hug. he won't deny if you want to give him a full on kiss in public, but he will be red for days afterwards and he would never initiate that.

i've mentioned this before so i won't go into detail, but he is so... so easy to turn on. his horniness just runs constantly in the background and he is so prone to getting affection boners. it's sweet, really.

on one hand i feel kinda bad for the people who don’t like aruani and who feel like it’s out of character, or the people last month who were trying to pass it off as a one-sided crush born of bertholdt, but on the other hand. I have balloons and party horns going full blast mentally

Neskutečně mě vysírá, jak česká média píšou o Zdeňkovi Koubkovi v ženském rodě. "Žena, která se stala mužem." "Světová atletka, která bojovala v mužském těle." Oni to podávají, jak kdyby byl v duši žena, ale tělo si upravil proto, že už předtím měl mužské tělesné prvky, tak aby to jako "dokončil". Přitom to tak není. On byl intersex, označen za ženu při narození a prošel mužskou tranzicí. Mě ten jeho příběh zní jako příběh intersex trans muže. Ale oni ho furt misgenderujou!! Celý článek o něm píšou v ženském rodě a až po jeho tranzici o něm začnou psát v mužském rodě. A život před tranzicí zabírá většinu článku. Takhle se o trans lidech nepíše, vážení. Zkuste se trochu informovat. Bože můj. Já to tady tak nesnášim.

the lgbtq+ community online is failing trans men and trans mascs. when i go on the internet to find some supportive content to make myself feel better, i almost always stumble upon someone being dismissive of trans men's problems and leave feeling even shittier than before. this shouldn't happen. we don't even feel safe in spaces that should be for us.

i'm a trans man, but women are still comfortable talking shit about men around me (probably because i'm pre-transition). i notice women don't usually talk shit about men in front of men, or if they do, they say something like "sorry, not you". but with me, they don't do that. they just say how bad men are. and it has actually turned into this microtrauma for me. because every time people shit on men, i think "do they look down on me? do they think they're better then me?". i think a lot of women genuinely believe women are better than men. i hear that from how they talk about men and sometimes, to men, in this horribly superior way. i'm talking about my one friend specifically. she will sometimes talk to men and about men as if they're inferior creatures. and it feels horrible, being around your friends, feeling like they think you're inferior. i have to prove i am a man to cis people while simultaneously having to prove i'm "not enough a man" to be bad to my female friends. and it's painful. i feel like shit. i feel disgusting and inferior.
