Loving the Murderbot show.

Honestly even though I reread the series recently my goddamn memory is so bad that I didn't notice some of the changes (combining Overse into Pin Lee)

My random thoughts so far:

I feel like the show is being slightly weird about Mb's pronouns...? Someone called it "him" (in an attempt to humanize I think??) and Gurathin corrected them, but he did so in an objectifying way so idk.

Sanctuary Moon looks amazing

the cubicle looks... gigantic???

the hopper seems gigantic (probably a filming limitation)

I need the digital graphics to be bigger please they're really difficult to read

The attempt to make Mb's null groin with blurring? looks weird – I feel like practical effects (modesty cup with like latex and makeup over?) would have looked better (might have also been a filming limitation idk anything about the actor)

Mb's hair seems slightly too long??

Ratthi please holy fuck 😭

are we... pairing the spares with Ratthi?

wait, am I the only one who finds it weird that Leebeebee didn't give pronouns?

Gurathin didn't say that Mb calls itself Murderbot??

I don't think Gurathin's stuff with Mensah is romantic, but that might be because I'm aro lol

none of you are allowed to use afab or amab anymore til you fucking learn what they mean

if you want to talk about something that happens with estrogen majority in a body, talk about that

if you want to talk about something that happens with testosterone majority in a body, talk about that

if you want to talk about boobs and/or bras. just do it. don't tag on "afab culture" holy shit.

if you want to talk about dicks, talk about dicks, don't say only amab ppl have them??? or imply that all amab ppl have them their whole lives???

same with vulvas. not all afab have them. some amab people can have them

like yall. medical transitioning exists??? HRT exists. Bottom Surgery exists! Estrogen HRT makes a person grow breast tissue. Estrogen-Majority also gives you menstrual symptoms no matter if you have a uterus or not! Phalloplasty is a thing! Vaginoplasty! There are multiple medical transitioning options for everyone!!

me: hmm .... I don't understand aesthetic genders...?? (but obviously I don't need to understand something to respect it)

me:

me: oh I get it now

I've been reading Discworld

and while I'd really prefer to read the entire series in order, I'm kinda having trouble with The Colour Of Magic so I skipped to The Watch subseries and then after Nightwatch I realized I missed some stuff in Ankh-Morpork, especially stuff involving Vetinari, so now I'm reading The Truth (then Going Postal probably)

And I realized my favorite character in this whole goddamn series is Vetinari

like. really. The guy In Charge. The Man. The technical tyrant. Really??? That's who I've latched on to???

(Not that I don't have my reasons lol but without context it's funny)

Hey Hollywood / AMPTP / bigwig execs:

agree to WGA's demands you absolute chucklefucks

I need dumb late night talkshows to get News Updates in a way that doesn't destroy my mental health

(Obviously also they need to agree to all the unions's stuff happening rn including WGA, SAG-AFTRA, and *checks notes* the IATSE is now representing Marvel's VFX workers but I don't know if they've moved to start negotiating anything yet)

argh being transmasc-aligned but transneutral but not wanting to be misgendered but not wanting to sound like an asshole send help

like I was afab and I'm completely genderless/genderNo/gendervoid and I dont want to be misgendered in either direction

but also I'm (abinary) achillean and my medical transition could be described as "transmasc" and I'm going to need to change my legal sex/gender to M for safety reasons (I'm going to look like what people will read as a man) and I want to openly refer to myself as "transmasc-aligned" because of these reasons but unfortunately you can't really use any of the -aligned terms without getting misgendered!!

and like I just want to please ask people to be inclusive of afab transneutral people when talking about problems both we and transmasc people face! not instead of, not derailing, just include even in a footnote please?

We're both Not Women who need gynecologists and abortion access and menstrual and uterine healthcare

(also I hate referring to myself as "afab" in any way because of the dysphoria it causes but there's just. no better way to phrase it I guess.)

anyway if I add on to a post "yes both transmascs and afab transneutrals" it's literally just adding the footnote myself it's not intended to derail I'm not saying "But" I'm just saying "And"

I'm totally capable of love, it's just. My own kind of love. And it doesn't seem to match everyone else's.

Idk if that's specifically neuroatypical or aro or both.

The whole "all orientations include nonbinary people" thing would be better if you added the word "some" for clarity

All orientations include some nonbinary people

There are nonbinary men and nonbinary women, is what that's trying to say, I think

But also there are abinary genders who are unaligned who are not included in orientations that just include men or women.

And a lot of antipansexual stuff is super antinonbinary
