Hey everyone, we published something!
After brothers Hans, Marcus, and Casper are each kicked out of their home for goat-related shenanigans, they're each left to pave their way
My boyfriend Virgil and I present: The Table, the Prince and the Stick in the Sack, an adaptation of Grimm's The Wishing-Table! We've been working on this for the past year and today on our anniversary we bring you the fruits of our labor! We hope you enjoy reading the very first chapter!

A completely predictable mess.

my dad is very intensely involved a battle with his city’s public administration over a playground they have tried to forcibly remove like five times in the past 20 years and DID remove once in like 2005 but then had to rebuild because my dad was such a pain in their asses and came through with undeniable receipts of the zoning plan from the 60s/the historic/cultural value of the urban planning…. like there’s a woman in the city office who is his arch nemesis. he is literally the daredevil of urban planning

Oh hey, all you Library-Loving Libby users out there. A piece of advice for you. Go to your search engine of choice and type in “[your local library] reciprocal agreements”.
Might pull up nothing, but chances are there are somewhere between two and seven other Library systems in your state that you can get a card at perfectly legitimately simply by applying for one with your current address and proof of having an active card at your local library. You can then log into Libby with these and use them even if you never manage to go to a physical building of that library. (Though you should take advantage of the physical library too if you can) Some of them might have significantly larger or at least different ebook/audiobook collections for you.
Yes and!
There's a website (https://reciprocard.com/) that will pull up this info if you put in your hometown library, and gives you a link to apply to the different libraries. Sometimes you don't even need to apply. My library is in a consortium that just uses my card to cover all the other libraries. I use the same card number.
Your results page also lists some libraries that will let you get a non-resident card, usually for a yearly fee. (Frex, I decided it was a way better use of my precious dollars to get a Queens Public Library card for a year than to pay for that streamer I never watch anything on.)
Have you thought about doing fashion doll parallels to historical figures/style movements? American girl has lots of them with the historical dolls they have
I have thought about it! I honestly don’t know much (i actually don’t think I know anything) about American Girls, I’m not American and I didn’t grow up with them but I did grow up with Maplelea Girls!
If you have any requests of specific dolls you would like me to check out and talk about please do tell me because again I’m not too familiar with the brand!
If anyone wants an overview of different AG clothing & their historical influences, there's a really great video series by Lady Rebecca Fashions on YouTube. She pulls out a bunch of old advertisements, art, fashion plates, etc. to talk about specific influences on specific garments and goes really in detail.
How historically accurate are American Girl outfits?
remember when rtd wrote in lines about christopher eccleston’s body with the knowledge he was suffering from an eating disorder and continued to hire john barrowman despite the fact that he was sexually harassing his coworkers. remember when rtd has eccleston blacklisted from the bbc.
remember when rtd had davidtennant3 regenerate into a suit despite the fact that that wasn’t what thirteen was wearing? because she was a woman? and remember when he wrote a trans character only to have her relate to some bioessentialist femininity that the doctor couldn’t relate to because he’s a man? remember how rtd treated adoption? remember how the first black doctor was sidelined in TWO episodes of his first season? remember how belinda chandra was locked in a box for an entire episode and then lobotomized? remember how ruby sunday sympathized with the fascist? remember how he created an entire regeneration concept just so a white actor could overshadow a person of color? remember how racist, sexist, and transphobic that man is?
REMEMBER when there were rumors of millie gibson being so unpleasant to work with that she was fired from doctor who and no member of rtds team or the bbc put in any effort to defend her while her reputation was being ruined?
remember when he sandwiched the first black, queer doctor’s era between david tennant and billie piper?
remember fucking martha jones. remember mickey smith
some fandom spaces eventually reach a state i like to refer to as "yaoi toxicity", where the primary way the fanbase engages with women is not by interacting with the (sometimes admittedly few or poorly written) women in the text, but rather by instead reimagining the main yaoi ship as women. interestingly, this form of genderbending rarely involves imagining these male characters to be transgender women or considering the implications thereof, but rather seeks to address misogyny in both the text and the fanbase by just rule 63-ing the whole endeavor. the fact that this in and of itself is still misogynistic wrt the original material, as the genderbent characters and their resulting popularity as a pairing are still due to the privileging of even alternate-universe interpretations of the text's originally male characters over engaging with the originally female characters (if any) in any capacity, is often completely unaddressed.
i don't think there's anything inherently wrong with drawing or writing boy characters as girls or liking those kinds of fanworks, in fact sometimes i do it myself and quite enjoy it. i also recognize that a significant portion of fandom creators are female and/or lesbian, and are in part likely seeking to project their own identities onto the characters comprising the main yaoi ship (often some of the strongest and most-developed characters from the source media). however when this becomes widespread as a phenomenon i personally cannot help but think of it as a version of (largely) sfw a/b/o - of trying to subvert or vent about the struggles of misogyny via fanworks without addressing the underlying misogyny in the space itself; a way of achieving "women without women".
this is why the fact that these interpretations are usually contextless genderbend alternate universes and rarely explicit specific trans headcanons is particularly significant to me. in my mind, an obvious way to imagine "what if this male character was a woman" would be not to necessarily create an entire alternate universe where this cisgender male is her cisgender female "opposite", but instead to consider the implications of the idea that she was a closeted woman all along, and what effect this would have had on the narrative. however, this necessarily involves confronting misogyny and specifically transmisogyny in the text and in fan spaces, something that many genderbends seem unwilling or unable to do.
again. im not saying you're a bad person if you do or have done this, i literally have also done this, or that anyone should stop doing this for some implied moral reason. god knows fandom was built on the backs of women writing yaoi where one of the boys is the girl. im just saying that gravitating towards genderbend as a source of female representation instead of trans headcanon or getting interested in the text's intended female characters in the first place doesn't always strike me personally as a particularly interesting interpretation
