Crossposting again. Here's a Johndave pesterlog I wrote the other night (not necessarily ship, up to you).

Transcript because I don't know how readable the images are:

TG: i dont even know TG: oh wait TG: oh dude TG: haha oh man  TG: im so stupid wait  TG: watch this EB: good morning dave! EB: care to explain why this chat has been open on my computer since 10 pm last night? TG: oh shit that feels just TG: so nasty in my clockwork little heart EB: ???????? TG: i sped time up so it would be morning faster but TG: that just made me TG: even more tired oh damn TG: shit why did that affect me TG: it doesnt usually do that TG: how many hours did i even skip EB: haha, your sleep schedule is so fucked now.  EB: it’s 9 am. TG: like i said TG: nasty EB: well i won’t keep you too long then, but what did you want to talk to me about? EB: i hope it isn’t serious, because if you really are so tired, you are definitely not in the right state of mind to drop any bombshells! TG: i TG: forgot EB: you forgot? TG: and im a little disoriented anyway TG: like again TG: why did that affect me TG: im the one doing the time travel TG: did i pull the wrong lever or fondle the wrong knob in the abstrata of my timeatron 

TG: fuuuck my ass hurts too its like i just sat here all night EB: ... EB: are you sure you... EB: didn’t... EB: ACTUALLY sit at your desk all night waiting for morning? EB: like that is kind of weird and suspicious! EB: the fact that your ass hurts i mean. TG: uh EB: don’t. TG: ok EB: not saying you’re lying or anything, but it is the kind of thing you might do!  EB: i’m not going to ask you to describe time travel because you and i both know how that goes down. EB: but did anything feel different this time? TG: not really TG: maybe just because i did it when i was already tired so i fucked something up cosmically TG: lets hope that doesnt have any long term effects TG: god knows we cant handle anything else being thrown at us TG: the age of our young and virile heroism has settled and gone from our spirits TG: all that to say i dont know man it could be anything TG: in the time ive been blabbering ive already nodded off once so let me just tell you the thing TG: which i remembered by the way because i looked down and saw my phone  EB: lay it on me bro!

EB: actually i remember it being a huge ass deal for you. EB: i started to get really worried too, like it was maybe starting to affect your self esteem? TG: what no TG: no dude TG: dude really EB: uh yeah, not to get too personal at the buttcrack of dawn or anything, but i remember it like that. maybe i’m wrong though. EB: we would call while you tried to beat that stupid jump! it was a personal challenge you set for yourself, like if you didn’t do this you wouldn’t let yourself play the next level and progress. EB: even though you beat the level itself fine, you just couldn’t get the special jump to collect the coin. EB: it was the first time i took a real notice to your completionist streak. TG: huh EB: did you ever try the other levels? TG: well  TG: no EB: haha! well now you can! EB: good job dave!  EB: try not to take it that serious anymore though. like hoo boy i was relieved when you gave up on the game back then. i really couldn’t bear to see you destroy your fingers like that any longer! TG: gave up EB: yeah. EB: oh. EB: is this gonna be a thing? EB: WAS it a thing? am i making it more of a thing by talking about it? TG: no TG: nah TG: nah its so cool TG: i really am tired though TG: im going to bed TG: youre right my sleep sched is all screwed now TG: i would speed time up till tonight and sleep but seeing the way it went when i was just only a little tired and used my time shit is worrying me so ill have to brave it the normal human boy nonsavior of the universe way EB: uh.

Hi, just wanted to say that Square Rooted kicks ass and thanks for writing it!

oh my god. okay. this is absolutely insane. holy shit.

if you're a regular here at etchjetty incorporated uhhhhhhhhhhh. @neostellarjpg did GORGEOUS art of legally distinct dee and pets from my award-winning peggy sue fic Square Rooted. it's like. oh my god. the accessories swap. the sadstuck. it's fucking perfect dogg. AUGHHHH

its crazy bc this is art @flaringk did of dee and pets a full fucking year ago. the accessories swap is so ridiculously canon. im losing my MIND.

anyway. as thank you all here's a brief update. tonight at 8pm the @pesterquestrewritten kanayaroute goes live on youtube. after that i will seriously need to do my homework because im back in college.

but before that. thanks to the ridiculous outpouring of support. i just wrote this literally 5 minutes ago. a little sneak preview of the latest draft of chapter 5:

yeah. like. i didnt think i'd ever update square rooted again tbh. i wrote it like right after/during a breakup and so trying to get back in the headspace i was in when writing it was HARD. but i think ive found a new angle and im really excited about it :333333

and if you like homestuck peggy sue isekai, why not read my fic where Dirk and Roxy are sent back in time into Bro and Momlonde's bodies, respectively?

ANYWAY THIS WAS A LOT OF TEXT BUT. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Y’all don’t mind if i post some throw away little pesterlogs we did for practice do you? Cool because I’m doing it anyway.

There are not many here because I’m embarrassed of most of them. But the Rosemary is funny I guess. Rose squares up with a mirror after that exchange.

Hey about your post on trans men;

You're making a very heavy accusation; that a lot of trans men are indirectly playing into transphobes' hands and being transmisogynist

because acknowledging their oppression as people who are transgender and afab (for those who were afab and not intersex) means that by the same logic trans women are "less" oppressed because amab = not oppressed....

But that's absolutely not true. That's the whole point of intersectionality; there are no categories that you can add up until you get a positive or negative result because everyone's unique situation leads to different types of oppressions and power dynamics are not set in stone; the oppressed can be oppressors and vice versa. Being transgender, and being afab, are simply two of the many parameters that can help describe the different oppressions they face

At the intersection of being afab, and being trans, and identifying as a man specifically, they threaten the patriarchy's concept of masculinity, and the patriarchy's control on the bodies and behavior of those who are assigned "women". and leads which leads to specific types of abuse that target trans men like corrective SA with threats of impregnation with the aim to remind trans men of their "true place".

My review of this ask:

I love the implication that AFAB and intersex are mutually exclusive categories, subtly reinforcing bioessentialism by suggesting that AGAB == "biological sex"

Great job alluding to the TWERF concept of "sex-based oppression" without ever saying it outright! A key tactic for propagating TWERF ideology in trans spaces is to never outright use TWERF language, instead couching it in terms that are more agreeable for unsuspecting trans people, so good job! Bonus points if that wasn't your intention, that just shows how effectively that rhetoric is spreading!

Unfortunately I will have to dock some points because the strategy of saying "intersectionality" followed by a complete misunderstanding of how it actually works is kind of old hat by this point; intersectionality is not about "everyone's unique situation", it's about how multiple overlapping oppressions reinforce each other and it was coined by Black women to demonstrate how Black liberation and women's liberation were both incomplete without a focus on their struggles because they were often left behind by both white women and Black men

And sadly the conclusion of your ask leaves a lot to be desired, not only do you imply that manhood is a meaningful axis of oppression (lol), your final point implies that sexual assault is an AFAB-only experience that's only meaningful with the risk of impregnation, completely erasing the very real sexual assault that trans women experience constantly

Overall, this ask makes the common mistake of assuming that the statement "trans men aren't oppressed for being men" to mean that they aren't oppressed for being trans, when that's blatantly untrue; the primary difference is that trans men, generally speaking, are seen by the patriarchy as gendered property that needs to be fixed (through horrific abuse), while trans women aren't even good enough to be property, we're a thing to be discarded entirely, not corrected; both experience transphobic abuse, but trans women experience the additional axis of transmisogynistic abuse, for daring to see womanhood as more desirable than manhood
