so staff might be terminating random transfems like dozens of times within a day on pride month and they might be literally taking the trans colors out of the progress flag and they might be perfectly happy letting nazis openly doing constant sexual harassment campaigns with the express purpose of trying to kill the target. but at least they brought pjackks blog back! that makes up for it! happy pride month!
i get rly emotional abt onimais existence whenever i start thinking abt it too hard because like. its just so kind. its one of the kindest things ive ever seen put to print and screen, and the fact that it exists is just so... imagine being an egg out there yknow? imagine being in mahiros shoes and finding onimai. imagine learning, through something as tender and beautiful as onimai, that there exists not just girls like you, but other girls who are more than willing to help you grow into your new identity and love yourself for the first time.
imagine seeing yourself for the first time through mahiro, one of the cutest, most lovable girls ever made. she too had to struggle to feel out her girlhood - its scary, yknow? changes that big, even when you want it - and while this lead to situations that were embarrassing or scary, shes never someone to ridicule. shes learning, yknow? we all make mistakes. when she accidentally stumbles into old habits, or shyly tries out new ones, she's never reprimanded or laughed at. and on top of that, it provides that gentle wish fulfillment of a sister who's always loved you walking you through your transition and loving you still throughout. it provides that gentle reassurance that youre always allowed to be an adorable little girl, even if youve supposedly chronologically passed your childhood already. that one didnt count, you know? it wasnt fully yours. you get to be a little girl now. its so kind. its just so kind...
To whoever it may concern the first fictional character I put on my tomodream file is Mahiro Oyama

on one hand, i think her propensity for tantrum throwing is interesting. she lives her life in a constant state of repressed frustration, and only lets it out on things that don't seem to matter. at least, not to the outside observer. it's always the little things. that's just how it is. when you face a million tiny injustices every day, any one of them could be the straw that broke the camel's back. even if that straw is born of kindness - like someone lovingly making food for you that you just cannot stomach right now.
again, she's a very strongly written child. she lacks agency in ways children often do, and reacts to it exactly the way a child would. especially one that's as deeply repressed and closeted as june. i feel this is an aspect of her writing that's often overlooked, because a sizable chunk of readers are teenagers who have not unpacked that. and, unfortunately, even more lack experience of or even basic knowledge about transmisogyny, how it operates, and the effects it has on trans youth
on the other hand, she's literally cutes. it's cutes. she's cutes. you literally agree with me.
look within yourself and ask: do you hate your parents enough?
if your first response is a tense "i mean, theyre not that bad", or "i mean, theyve done so much for me" the answer is no, you do not hate them enough. hate them more. occasional acts of kindness do not make up for everything else. no, not even that one. your hesitance is a survival tactic. i do not blame you. there is no shame in it. but it is a survival tactic. do not blame yourself. do not cast yourself as an ungrateful villain. who does that benefit? who is the one benefiting from your blame absorption? who is the one benefiting from you excusing their behavior? who is the one benefiting from you granting forgiveness for all those years of suffering over a favor? over human decency?
you need to hate your parents more.
