The crazy part about pain is that it actually hurts alot
howl’s moving castle is first and foremost a comedy because sophie breaks into howl’s house and nearly kills the only thing keeping him alive and he’s just like wow can’t believe i scored a girlboss
thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love
“Eurydice, dying now a second time, uttered no complaint against her husband. What was there to complain of, but that she had been loved?” ― Ovid, Metamorphoses
This is true no matter the version you're reading.
1. Eurydice trips and Orpheus turns to help her because he loves her.
2. Orpheus cannot hear Eurydice behind him, and fearing that he's been tricked, turns to make sure she's there.
3. Orpheus makes it out of the Underworld, and so full of love and excitement to be with Eurydice, turns to embrace her, forgetting that they both need to be out of the Underworld.
No matter what happens in the story, Orpheus loses Eurydice because his love for her compels him to look.
Orpheus, I can forgive you, then, There’s not a soul alive who wouldn’t have looked back
The Descent, by Tyler King
Don’t forget Gluck’s opera, where Eurydice doesn’t know Orpheus is forbidden to look back, Orpheus is also forbidden to tell her, she assumes he must not love her anymore, and Orpheus finally looks back to reassure her of his love because he can’t bear her anguish.
In that version in particular, but possibly in all retellings, a part of us wants Orpheus to look back, because his failure proves his love.
I'd be the voice that urged Orpheus When her body was found I'd be the choiceless hope in grief That drove him underground I'd be the dreadful need in the devotee That made him turn around (Hey ya) And I'd be the immediate forgiveness In Eurydice

do you ever have an awful thing happen to you and it actually makes you stronger because you realize you have an awesome support system to fall back on. hashtag me right now hashtag love my friends.
It's really fucking annoying shipping an mlm ship and everyone in the goddamn universe is like "the bigger stronger one is a dominant cis man who tops and the smaller weaker one is a submissive trans man who bottoms :)"
Like, you as an individual can headcanon whoever you want as a trans man and write whatever the hell you want, I'm not gonna stop you. But it's frustrating to see such a pattern of fandom spaces constantly viewing trans men as small weak submissive bottoms. It says something about the way yall view real life trans men and that makes me really fucking uncomfortable.
This post isn't just about trans men always being portrayed as submissive bottoms, though that's part of the issue. The other part of the issue is why certain characters are popularly headcanoned as trans men in the first place, and why other characters aren't.
The characters who get popularly headcanoned as trans men tend to have a (perceived) lack of physical strength, a smaller stature, and are perceived as more feminine. Oftentimes they aren't actually more feminine presenting, but are emasculated due to intersecting identities like race, physical disability, or neurodivergence.
The characters who don't get popularly headcanoned as trans men tend to be physically strong and have a larger stature, and lack the intersecting identities that the aforementioned characters are emasculated for (though they may have intersecting identities that they are hypermasculinized for, such as their race).
Saying "well, I headcanon [character who is popularly headcanoned as a trans man in a stereotypical and transphobic manner] as a top!" doesn't fully address the issue here. People need to question why they perceive some traits to be synonymous with trans manhood, and other traits as mutually exclusive with trans manhood.
Headcanon the character as a trans man who tops, sure, but also think critically about why that character in particular is "the trans one."
fuck, I just realized that if I spend my life being too intimidated to make art then that means I don't even get to make bad art. I end up making NO art. that's way worse
“are they lovers?” worse. they were supposed to be and never got the chance to
and i'd kill her again!
has anyone figured out how to turn off the thing where you love your pet so much it slides inexorably into grief-borrowing
“For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, ‘Of course.’ When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious.”
Don’t be so afraid of loss that you never engage with love.
i love hitting characters with the disability beam. we should all be hitting characters with the disability beam. my favorite activity
annoyed that your favorite character canonically receives a grievous injury that they seem to walk off without issue? oh do i have a solution for you.
