If there's sexual abuse subtext no there isn't, if there's allusion to sexual abuse you're ruining it for everyone else by talking about it, if there's a metaphor for sexual abuse you're reading too far into it and it's actually a metaphor for anything more palatable, and if there's on-screen sexual abuse? Well that's exploitative torture porn, of course.
was at a bar and a 50+ year old drunk white woman complimented me and my friend's outfits, told us there was a campsite up in northern maryland where a lot of gay bears go to have sex in the woods. we asked her how she knew about this and she very aggressively said "because i'm a FAG HAG!!! but i'm not allowed to say that anymore I GUESS!!!"
most carousel companies had their own individual style when it came to their horses manes but some shared common labels
today we’ll be talking about the different kinds of manes used on carousel horses
Windswept
also known as wind blown manes, carousel horse carvings were all about showing a horse in motion! this was the perfect mane to do the job
Peekaboo Mane
just as it sounds, this mane has a gap that you can look through!
peekaboo manes were an incredible flex in the carousel world, it proved that a company could carve thin pieces of wood without the risk of it snapping
Trojan Mane
also known as roached or chopped manes, this style of hair was given its name for its trojan-helmet resemblance
allan hershell is my personal favorite when it comes to trojan manes. sometimes they blend the trojan mane & peekaboo mane as seen in the first photo below
Side Swept
these manes bring a softer/elegant side in contrast to their energetic counterparts
it also brought great emphasis to the romance side, the side of a carousel horse that always faces the crowd
Flying Mane
similar to the windswept mane but with more volume and exaggeration
sometimes carvers such as parker would combine the peekaboo mane with the flying mane as shown below to the right
Top Knot
this mane is styled as if the bangs are floating or curled into a knot on top of the horses head, giving an energetic appearance
introduced in the 1920s, this style was used by the dentzel/muller company the most
remember that many carousel companies differ from eachother! some may share terms while others do not, thank you for reading!
Another silly ass low effort phm comic bc I keep thinking of this post and just cracking up at the mirror pronouns also being another level of codependency. Rocky and his bestie.
one of my friends in a discord server was talking about how they were nervous about their first scheduled acupuncture appointment. another friend offered to do a tarot reading for them. sent this picture.
both trans men and trans women are punished for our proximity to both feminity and masculinity. people decide when we are men or women based on what is the WORST option at the moment. we both get treated like women only when someone needs to infantalize us or call us bossy, bitchy, stupid, vapid. we both get treated like men when someone wants to demonize and paint us as violent, predatory, abusive, perverted. NONE of us are benefiting from any gendered privilege, because we are always treated like the worst of either gender depending on the scenario. this is something all trans people experience, regardless of agab, both trans men and trans women. so why do we assume that the other side has the opposite experience as us?? why do you think that because your life as a trans man or a trans woman is painful, that a trans person of a different gender must have the opposite experience?? like i just dont get the preschool level understanding of gender like "well boys and girls are opposites so of course our experiences are opposites too" we are living the same transphobia and if you cant see it you need to listen to other people more
