Just found out you can change the kudos message on ao3 and honestly? Best day of my life
Every time you leave kudos on one of my fics, you’ll get one of these messages:
he’s still alive and breaking into homes with his girlfriend as of September 2025 btw
obsessed with how they unsuccessfully hunted him and he returned to get his revenge on the army 5-6 years later, bringing backup this time. he’s like the terrestrial Nepalese Moby Dick. this is completely abnormal behavior for an Asian elephant, even bulls. wonder what started him on this path.
corbeau and his very real katana he keeps by his desk
Fun fact!!!
Katanas have two ways of being displayed. The stock can either connect only to the sheath, or it can connect to both the sheath and handle.
If it is connected to both the sheath and handle, this makes it impossible to draw the katana while it is still on the display. It would be displayed in such a way for ceremonial purposes (or indeed if the katana itself is ceremonial) or when one is receiving guests, as a direct message of "I mean no harm".
On the OTHER HAND, by displaying the katana in such a way that it stands only on the sheath, this makes it possible to draw at any moment - leaving it like that while receiving guests can (and most likely would, each time) be interpreted as an explicit, unambiguous expression of violent intent. I CAN and may, at any moment per my preference, draw this katana and cut you down like the dog you are.
I've noticed a worrying trend of trans people with cis partners not seeing all the major red flags in their partner, allowing abuse to go unchecked. So, I'm gonna compile a quick list of a few red flags you need to look out for if you're dating a cis person, from what I've seen as the most common ones:
1. Your partner not gendering you properly around friends, family, or even in the bedroom (unless you prior discussed that as a kink)
2. Your partner not respecting your chosen name and deadnaming you for whatever reason (other than safety issues where you're not out to someone)
3. Your partner not respecting your dysphoria in the bedroom and coercing you to either bottom or top when you don't want to. Additionally, them touching parts of your body you don't like being touched when they've been told so.
4. Your partner trying to prevent or control how you transition such as not "allowing" you to go on HRT or dress a certain way
5. Your partner demonizing traits you're getting on HRT, mocking them.
6. If you're capable of getting pregnant, trying to coerce you into getting pregnant if you don't want to.
7. Your partner making you or coercing you to wear clothes you're not comfortable with (I.e. bra and panties as a trans man, boxers as a trans woman)
8. Saying they won't love you as much or anymore if you transition or present a certain way.
9. If they talk about how HRT is going to "ruin your body and make you look ugly"
10. Your partner trying to coerce or force you to detransition for any reason at all, in any way whether physically or socially
Note: trans people can also do these to their partners, but it's less common I've found.
I've been asked to list some concrete examples of these, so here you go:
1. If your partner says "She doesn't really like dogs all that much" when talking to his friends, or family, when you're a trans man who goes by he/him, that's a red flag
2. If your partner keeps calling you Mike around his parents when you're a trans woman named Ashley, that's a red flag.
3. If you're a trans man who has a vagina and your cis male partner insists that you bottom and let him use your vagina when you've told him that you hate that, or if you're a trans woman who has penile dysphoria and your partner refuses to do anything but have you penetrate, that's a red flag. They could wrap this up as "well you don't really love me unless you fuck me this way", and try to guilt you into it, that's a red flag. Additionally, if your partner keeps grabbing your breasts during sex when you have severe dysphoria around them, red flag.
4. "If you go on T, you'll be ugly and unfuckable and we just may have to break up. So don't start T", "I won't allow you to start HRT. You're on my insurance, if you start HRT, I'll kick you out." Are both major red flags. Additionally, not allowing you to wear skirts or dresses, or do your makeup or grow out your hair as a trans woman - or not allowing you to wear men's pants, men's shirts, not allowing you to wear a binder, throwing out your packer, if you're a trans guy are all red flags.
5. "Ew gross body hair", "Why is your penis so floppy? Can't you get hard anymore?", "Oh god, Tdick? Disgusting. Can't you take meds to stop that from growing?" Are all red flags
6. "Come on, it won't be that bad. Just 9 months, you know I want a kid. Don't you love me? Why won't you let me get you pregnant?" Is a red flag
7. A partner tossing out your boxers/binder and replacing them with bras and panties, or your partner tossing out your bras and panties and replacing them with boxers is a red flag. Trying to force you into wearing lingerie when you're not into feminine clothing is a red flag. Or just outright not letting you wear what you want, red flag.
8. "I won't find you attractive anymore if you start HRT", "You look so much better as your AGAB, why change it?", "You know I'm not into men, don't ruin this for me", "You know I'm straight/gay/lesbian, I'm not into that gender. If you transition I'll stop finding you attractive, and you'll destroy this relationship." Are all red flags.
9. "HRT is gonna destroy your beautiful feminine figure.", "Estrogen is gonna turn you into a gross little sissy" red flags
10. "My parents would kill me if they found out I was dating a man. You need to detransition, for us", "You were so much prettier as a girl/cute as a guy. It's a real shame you don't look like that anymore..."
