I bring sort of a ‘peasants of the past were not as debased,uneducated and dirty as a lot of pesudo-medieval fiction makes them out to be but this new wave of attempting to sweep the very real indentured servitude, corporal ownership, poverty and lack of basic human rights under the rug isn’t achieving what you think it’s achieving’ vibe to the party that people don’t really like
re: that recent post an interesting thing about being an any pronouns user is that most cishet people will hear that and immediately go “oh thank god I can just call you the normal girl pronouns” and many queer people will go “okay got it I’ll use they/them and apologize if I ever fuck up and use a different one” and it’s like. okay. you’re actually both kind of whiffing it in different ways.
Fascinating to me that apparently the comments are full of people assuming that any-pronouns people (like myself) value individual people switching it up. Which like that’s chill that that’s their preference, but it’s not mine and I don’t really need yet another “default” setting that I now have to give a long winded explanation about not wanting.
You can pick one and stick with it for me. That’s fine. I reserve the right to fuck with you a bit if you start treating me an excessively gendered fashion tho.
Something I really love about Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle is the point he makes about overcorrecting from the original trope. Sanitizing queer art to the point that nothing bad happens to queer characters ever is not only unrealistic, not only shitty to tell queer people what part of their stories they are or are not allowed to tell, it’s also just putting us in another box. The beauty of queer art is when we just get to create what we want to and tell our stories authentically. There’s a place for fluffy feel-good queer romance and horrifically fucked up queer horror. As long as queer people and those who love us get to tell our stories in a way that is meaningful, that resonates with the people who interact with it, that is all that should matter.
I am whatever the opposite of a speed runner is. I am a game meanderer. I have to look at literally everything. I am overly cautious in every way. I forget to pause and wander away from the game. I take a minimum 7 hours to get through any given level. If you give me a timer I will cry.
I think it should be considered a form of degendering to try to divorce trans people from their gendered histories. My gender doesn’t make sense without the fact that I was a little boy, or something like it, before I was a girl and a woman. If you were always a girl, thats awesome, but a lot of people project their dysphoria onto me when I try to talk about my own fucking life. If you think talking about having been a boy makes me less of a woman, that is degendering.
so few people understand the art of the pseudo nap
naps aren’t always about sleeping sometimes they’re about setting a timer for 30 minutes and lying down closing your eyes while listening to music and/or thinking about a tv show or a cool thing that happened recently with a little bit of checking your phone interspersed
