#(non-gendered fellas)

[eddyneedssleep]

A favorite hobby of mine is reading the imdb parental guides for shows and movies I like.

I especially love this warning that was written for Good Omens:

#good omens #good omens season 2 #good omens spoilers #? #fellas is it gay for two non-gendered beings to kiss

[sin-esthezia]

idk why you guys are so puzzled like OBVIOUSLY npd is a "male disorder" like almost always trans men or non-binary people have it. it's literally called No Penis Disorder. the disorder where you have no penis when you really really want one. smh guys

#/SILLY #this is a joke post #i think it goes without saying but #just watchin out for all my autistic fellas out there who cant be sure #stay safe out there #ily gnc people ily people who want bottom surgery and cant have it #also ily narcissists #this post is dedicated to every narcissist and every transmasc or gender non conforming afab person

[gas-stxtion]

//feeling he/it spencer in my soul and i am going to follow my dreams

#you know this whole thing is one big experiment‚ right? and you're the little mouse? {ooc} #//LIIIKE for a while now i've imagined spencer as an amab non-binary fella/otherwise having funky gender #//but i've never been able to see him using they/them. and yeah he can be non-binary without doing that #//but basically. he does not feel like just a he/him to me. #//he/it spencer is the way. i have seen the light

[wachi-delectrico]

Sometimes being the specific kind of non-binary that i am blows

#People get so lost when you are a type of non-binary that isn't strictly neutral or away from the gender binary #Like. I'm a guy. A whole dude. A fella #If i had to describe it I'd say i am aligned with masculinity and a masc identity #But also i don't think describing myself as a man suits me most of the time #As a gay man? Yea. As a man? Eehhh #rambling

Cis people not getting gender is the funniest thing to me.

Trans people will post shit like "my gender is like when you take an orange out for a walk like a dog" and every trans person in the notes will go like:

Oh shit!!! Me too!!

While cis people stand from the sidelines looking exactly like this:

#especially those non binary fellas they go feral with their genders #gender #transgender #trans #lgbt #lgbtq #transmasc #transfem #nonbinary #haha get it i'm not cis #ftm #mtf

I read your post about Supernatural being queer somehow from season 1 and I have two questions.

1. Don't you think it straight-appropriates the word "queer" to say it just means "not normal"? That argument seems disingenuous to me, and a lot of us want representation, and to see that word applied to explicit depiction of queer sexuality, and it's a cheat that they don't. Queer studies did start as the study of queer sexualities and the experience of queer people.

2. Are you saying that the makers of Supernatural intended for it to be "flesh on queer bones"? Do you think they intentionally sat down to tell a queer story?

Those are good questions my anonymous friend. Thank you for asking. Here are my thoughts:

To answer your first question: no, I don't think it appropriates anything. Here's why: firstly, if we're talking about sexuality and gender, it's queer 101 that no one owes anyone a justification of their queerness, and not everyone who is queer is interested in labeling it or making it legible to you, and they have no obligation to do so, and not doing so doesn't make them any less queer. Furthermore, some people who are queer are not interested in sex, so what about them?

All of that together is why, for me, the entire queer project is much more deeply about non-compliance with hegemony, and specifically with hegemony around gender roles, sexuality and to put it under a big umbrella, patriarchy, than it is about who you fuck. Those things extend into so many other aspects of life that I think you can easily talk about "queering" a very wide range of topics, and possibly? ANY TOPIC.

You are responding to this post, I think, and in it, I made a choice to talk about family and hunting, and our heroes roles and characterizations in that, and did not talk about gender shenanigans or sexuality, because my point was that even before we get to anything to do with it, Sam and Dean are immersed in a queered world in a fundamental, structural way. That said, I assure you that if you go back into season 1 of Supernatural, you will find LOADS that could be said about gender and sexuality, too. As well as other things, and a particularly important area, as @ironworked pointed out in the tags, is blue collar/white collar class issues.

As I said, the depth of queerness in Supernatural is actually dizzying just in terms of the story's BONES to say nothing of how they flesh it out. Queerness is about deviation from the norm. It's about rebellion and disobedience against hegemonic systems for the sake of personal authenticity and love.

Think about Cas for a minute. Cas's whole story is that he rejects his role in a hegemonic heaven. He rebels for love, and that is pretty explicit as early as season 4 when he tells Dean "We're making it up as we go". Fellas, that is THE QUEEREST SHIT EVER even if he didn't do it for Dean, and like... HE DID IT FOR DEAN. Cas did not have to tell Dean he loved him for me to know it, and for Cas to be a deeply queered character. When he DID say it, I wasn't the least bit surprised he was in love with Dean, because seriously, we been knew. I was only surprised I got to have the immense pleasure of hearing him say it and looking at Dean's face while he took it in. Jesus. I will NEVER RECOVER.

This is my perspective on representation in Supernatural: It's excellent, and I relate to, and feel seen by it as a queer person. Nobody needs to get fucked on the maps table for me to do the math that this is a queer story. It is very, very, very thoroughgoingly canonically queer in so many ways, and not all of them are to do with sex. I think some fans will only allow it to be called queer if dudes make out in it. I am not one of those fans.

As to your second question, I think there is a wealth of evidence in the filmic oeuvre of Eric Kripke to suggest that as an artist and a writer, he is concerned or maybe even preoccupied with masculinity issues and issues around family, and around the way patriarchy fucks men up. So, yes. I think he knew what he was doing and he knew that queerness was part of the mix. For fucks sake, it's a family of men who hunt monsters. That is very fucking on the nose. Do I think he kicked off Supernatural in 2005 planning a 15 year operatic queer romance between Cas and Dean? No. I don't think anyone planned for it to go as long as it did, and it's a matter of record that some things were influenced by fan response, actors' chemistry, different writers and showrunners' preferences and etc. What I will say is that when they had a choice to "straighten shit out" or lean into the queerness, they fucking leaned in, nearly EVERY TIME. Like, it's pretty amazing how consistently they lean the fuck in.

I'll admit -- I wasn't watching it with those eyes the first time, and I didn't give it much real estate in my mind when I watched it as it aired from 2006 to the end, but the last three episodes reshaped it for me and made me angry, and also made me need to watch it all again, this time with an explicitly queer lens, and BOY HOWDY let me tell you this: the Supernatch rewatch journey is a wild and wonderful trip to Queertown. It is legit more difficult to argue that Dean is straight than it is to argue that he is queer. There is a full on CORNUCOPIA of story evidence to support that read and relatively little that convincingly counters it on the straight side, and that starts right at the beginning, when they bend pretty baby Dean over a police car in episode one, and he smirks insouciantly in his lip gloss. Do I think everyone involved knew how that looked? Sexy, submissive and a bit gay?

YES I DO.

Scout x reader who's never been to a baseball game before (ROMANTIC)

(I was bored and wrote this, I actually have been to multiple baseball games before but my ass still doesn't know anything about it. Reader's gender neutral as always. Trying to get better at writing oneshots so have this ig :/ Word count: ~1400)

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── 

It was strangely calm that day, it was one of the occasional days off that the mercs had. You sat on your bed, reading through some random magazine you’d picked up here or there when your boyfriend Scout barged in. “Hey doll!”

You continued flicking through the pages of the magazine, not flinching. You’d gotten used to this after a year of knowing him and two months of dating him. The door might as well not have existed at this point. “Yes?”

“Wanna go to the game today? With me?” he said, flashing you two tickets in his hand.

“What kinda game?” You looked up.

“Only the best game to be created,” he said with a smirk. “Baseball.”

You shrugged. “Sure, I don’t have anything else to do—” you barely got out before you were tackled with a hug by Scout, your magazine falling somewhere on the bed as you were wrapped up in his arms. “Jesus, you’re that excited, huh?”

He only chuckled and kissed your cheek. “Hell yeah I am! I get to have my two favorite things, baseball and you, dollface.” 

You roll your eyes and give him a kiss on the cheek back, relaxing into his arms for a moment as you soak up his warmth. “...wait, am I below baseball?”

“Uhh…”

ੈ♡˳

“Bye Engie! Thanks for the ride!” Scout yelled out as Engineer drove away in his pickup truck, leaving the two of you to the sea of people waiting to get in despite the insufferable heat. 

“Geez, are there normally this many people at these things?” you said as you held onto Scout’s hand to not lose him as you walked to the back of the line for the ticket booth.

“What, ya never been to a baseball game before?” he said with a laugh. It was a rhetorical question from his perspective, but not for you. 

“No.” Scout’s jaw dropped. 

“W- whaddya mean you’ve never been to a baseball game before, w- why? How?” In his mind, baseball was the most amazing game in the world, and it was simply a crime that the most amazing person in the world had never seen it.

You shrugged. “Just never did.” Scout was full of feelings about this. On one hand, you were his dollface and it hurt that you had been deprived of one of the greatest pleasures life could offer. On the other hand, he got to be the guy to introduce you to your first baseball game, which had the same significance as a first kiss. In his mind at least.

“D’ya at least know the game? Like, how it works?”

You thought for a moment before saying: “Um, you hit balls and run a lot?”

Hoo boy. Scout sighed. “I mean- you ain’t wrong but ya ain’t right. Listen doll, so there’s nine guys on each team, right? And one of the guys is the pitcher for the inning. The pitcher, he’s the fella who . . .”

ੈ♡˳

“. . . and then the outfielders, once you have those fellas you can get somethin’ called a line drive where it hits right to ‘em without touchin’ the ground–”  

It had twenty non-stop minutes of Scout explaining the entire concept of baseball to you, and if you heard another way a ball can be thrown you were gonna snap. You took his face in your hands and kissed him before another move could be explained. 

His ears flushed red and he froze for a moment after you pulled away. “Uh, what was that all about, doll?”

“I love you but if I hear another word about baseball I’m gonna lose it. Can I just watch the game with you and enjoy it that way?” you ask. 

“Fine, fine—” he cuts himself off as the two of you are both hit with the realization. You said I love you. Shit, shit, shit shit shitshitshit!

Before you can stammer out a sorry or any other form of explanation, the woman in the ticket booth says “Next!” and you’re left to panic while Scout gives her the tickets.

We’ve only been dating for a few months, is that weird to say? It must be, he didn’t say it back. Maybe he didn’t hear me? No, he definitely heard me. Oh god, I fucked this up bad, fuck—

“Hey dollface, she said we can go in, c’mon,” he said with a smile, squeezing your hand and leading you into the stadium. You two found a spot in the bleachers, luckily under the shade of an awning. You nervously bounced your leg as you prepared for the game to begin.

He’s not treating me any differently, maybe he’s just gonna ignore that I said that. Please, god just ignore it. 

“Geez, real anxious to see the game, huh doll?” he said to you with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah.” Maybe this would all be okay, another normal date. Just ignore that gross feeling in your gut and it’ll be fine.

ੈ♡˳

It was not all fine. Everytime the word ‘love’ came out of Scout’s mouth you couldn’t help but feel a growing annoyance. And he said it a lot.

“Man, I love that guy!”

“ —fuckin’ love this hot dog—”

“Love the view, right doll?”

It’s like he was rubbing it in. The gross feeling, the loud noise and the tight packed crowd all teamed up to give you a headache. Great. You distracted yourself from the feeling by leaning into him and eating your popcorn, desperately trying to understand the game in front of you. Maybe you should have listened a little more to your boyfriend’s explanation. “You cold dollface?

“Nah, just tired and have a little headache, ‘m fine,” you said as you popped another piece of popcorn in your mouth.

He wrapped his arm around you so you could have more support. “We, uh, don’t have to stay if you don’t want to, y’know. It’s the bottom of the fifth if you wanna get out of here.”

“No, no, it‘s fine, gotta stay for my first baseball game. Besides, isn’t that rude to just leave?”

“Naw, it’s fine. ‘S pretty normal not to stay the whole nine innings for your first game. ‘Sides, I don’t want you to feel like shit. We could go to a game some other time, how’s that sound?”

You smiled softly. “Sounds perfect.”

“Good, now c’mon,” he said as he picked you up in his arms to carry you out of the stadium.

“Jeremy, my head is the thing that hurts, not my legs. I can still walk, you doofus,” you laughed. He kissed your forehead. 

“Whatever you say, sweetcake, but I’m still carryin’ ya.”

ੈ♡˳

It was dark out, and Jeremy had just finished calling Engineer on the pay phone while you sat on a nearby bench: Scout’s jacket draped over you. Only a few people milled about, leaving to their cars underneath the street lamps.

Jeremy sat down next to you, reaching to hold your hand. “Engie’s gonna be here in ‘bout ten minutes...you alright doll?”

You delicately took it. “I dunno…”

“Did anything happen?”

“I mean, kinda? It’s stupid though, dunno why I’m getting so focused on it.”

“Can you tell me?”

You took a deep breath and looked at the concrete. “Well, I don’t know if you actually heard me, but earlier I accidentally said that I love you. I- I mean, not accidentally, I do, but it just, y’know, slipped out.”

“I heard you doll,” Scout said, tilting your face up to look at him.

“Then why didn’t you say anything? I mean, I get if you don’t love me yet, I’m not gonna blame you, but just say something.”

“I didn’t say anything because I didn’t know if you were bein’ serious, doll,” he said, scratching the back of his neck. “Y’know, you’re amazing and sweet, and almost every time I’ve liked someone this fantastic they’re just with me for laughs.”

“Jeremy…we’ve been dating for two months, did you really think that I don’t care about you?”

“Well I mean, two months right. I kinda thought you would’ve already said ‘I love you’ by now, so just- I dunno. . . do you actually love me?”

“Of course I do, Jeremy, I just was nervous because I thought I said it too early,” you said, leaning closer to him, looking at how his face caught the light of the street lamp.

“I love you too,” Scout said with a dorky smile before pulling you close and kissing you. You probably would’ve kissed for much longer but the sound of a truck horn interrupted you. 

“Hey lovebirds, get in!” Engineer shouted from the truck.

Scout pulled away and blushed before getting in with you, holding your hand tight the whole time.

[cod-sins]

Can I have Ghost, König and Thomas Hewitt (if you write two fandoms in one) with male reader who is a metal head? Long hair, corpse paint, is fascinated with gore stuff and such.

.ೃ࿐ Format: HCs.

.ೃ࿐ Reader: Male. Heavy Metal!Reader.

.ೃ࿐ Ratings: SFW. Gore/Blood mention.

.ೃ࿐ Word Count: 1.3K

[A/N: FIRST MALE READER REQUEST LET'S GOO! Thank you anon for giving me an excuse to watch TCM again. I also did some similar HCs with König (no mention of gender) you can check those out as well. Also, it was so hard for me to find a picture of a black male with corpse paint *sigh*.]

𝑮𝑯𝑶𝑺𝑻

Wowie y'all make an interesting duo.

Between his skull mask/balaclava and your corpse paint and dark clothing, you two make a very visually appealing couple. Ghost jokes about how it's always Halloween at y'alls house.

He likes your long hair. Military guys aren't allowed to have long hair so seeing you with long hair is somewhat refreshing to him.

There is something that awakens inside of Ghost when he sees you walking around shirtless with your hair down.

Ghost is another COD character who wouldn't be surprised by your music.

His father used to take him to Bone Licker concerts (sounds pretty heavy metal to me) when he was younger but he stopped going after the prostitute incident. With him being in the military it only drove him further away but if you could convince him to go to concerts with you he would.

He would make sure to mark the date so he wouldn't forget or let his work intervene. With even more convincing he would allow to you paint a skull on his face, he wouldn't wear it out though he'd switch back to his balaclava.

If there was a chance he couldn't make it to a concert or just didn't wanna go, he'd make it up to you by buying you VIP tickets.

Gets really defensive when other guys hit on you. Puts himself between you and the guy. “Yeah his style is nice and all now bug off.”

At first, Ghost would try and shield you from whatever injuries he has. If he came home still a little bruised and bloody from his last mission he wouldn't want you to see, probably heading straight to the bathroom to freshen up until you tell him you aren't squeamish and you're fine with it. Then he would come straight to the bedroom while you clean up his bloody bandaged shoulder.

Thought you were an odd fella the first time he laid eyes on you. It was most likely Soap who set you guys up.

He acknowledges your interest in gore, however, he'd prefer if you kept it to yourself. When he's deployed he's constantly surrounded by it--by death and blood. So when he gets home it's the last thing he wants to see.

Since the majority of Ghost's clothing is dark colors he would mix up y'alls clothing and wouldn't notice.

“Hey, Simon?” “Yeah?” “Is that my shirt?“ He peers down realizing it is in fact your shirt.”Ah, yeah sorry love I guess I grabbed the wrong thing.” He begins to take it off until you tell him it's okay and that he actually looks really good in it.

KÖ𝙉𝙄𝙂

The moment König laid eyes on you he was blown away.

He doesn't see people with your style so he thought you were very unique. He asks you why dress that way and why your makeup looks so crazy. He doesn't mean to come off as rude or anything he's just not used to it and he likes to hear you talk about your interests.

König would shyly ask if you could make his face look like yours. He would let you sit on his lap and watch as you meticulously drew on his face with black liner, on top of the white paint. He'd have a dumb smile on his face after you finish.

Just like Ghost, König would also go to concerts with you. If you were on the shorter side he would pick you up and put you on his shoulders so you could get a better view. The dude is like a rock so when people get a little too aggressive with their thrashing he has you stand behind him so you don't get hit.

Likes when you put your hair up and let strands of hair fall down, thinks it's really hot. König would stare non-stop until you called him.

Wouldn't say anything about your gore interest but he would indulge you in ways he killed/kills people. [cough cough König finishers cough]

He told you about how one time he sniped a man and his brain splattered out on a wall behind him. Or once he snapped a dude's neck so hard you could see the bone about to come out.

König watches closely as your eyes get big and you squirm in your seat as he goes on and on about his war stories.

He glares at anyone who would dare say anything negative about you. That includes his coworkers and supervisors.

König could not tell you the name of the bands you listen to because of the font. He says it looks all scrambled and he couldn't tell which letter is which.

When you told him you thought he was a little intimidating the first time you he giggled and told you, he felt the same way too. People think y'all are like that one scary goth couple in school.

𝑻𝑯𝑶𝑴𝑨𝑺 𝑯𝑬𝑾𝑰𝑻𝑻

The first time Thomas saw you he instantly fell in love.

He couldn't stop staring at you, he thought you were sent by the devil himself as a gift.

He is so interested in you especially since you guys look the same. You have long hair, he has long hair. You wear intricate corpse paint that covers your face, he delicately sews people's faces together to cover his.

Thomas wouldn't allow Hoyt [derogatory] to make fun of you. He takes a lot of shit from him but he draws the line at his boyfriend being made fun of.

Thomas prefers your hair over his. His isn't really taken care of. It's all greasy and messy so if you took the time to brush and style it, he'd probably cry.

No one is that nice to him besides his mom. So it'd be up to you to spoil him.

I imagine the type of music you listen to isn't common in Texas, especially on rural Texas radio so he would be very interested in it.

He would have you play it while he's dealing with his victims because he finds the screaming to be very annoying and sometimes headache inducing.

Tommy always keeps an out for you to make sure you don't pass out from the heat. He'd literally be standing there, watching you with your paint running down your face with a concerned look on his face as you tell him you're fine.

He would let you watch him disassemble bodies. Since you're interested in that stuff Thomas thinks it's the perfect bonding experience.

Thomas would also put your ass to work, I'm sorry to say. He believes everyone should pull their weight including his partner.

While his method of butchering is sloppy, he would still show you how to properly gut a person and how to get the most meat off the bones.

He's happy that you have an interest in gore and he would most definitely make a mask for you. If you were to wear it around he would be so unbelievably happy.

You're wearing his art AND you like it?? A match made in heaven.

If you were too grossed out by the whole canniblism thing Thomas would try and find you other food. There aren't a lot of animals in the area but he would try and catch deer, rabbits, or coyotes.

Thomas might have you lure in other victims, and you may have to change your look-up to be more “approachable” so he would lend you some of his clothes. They'd be too big but he and his mom know how to tailor.

He would only do this if you felt comfortable with it, he would never want to put you in harm's way.

I think Thomas would do a lot to make sure you're okay. He doesn't get that luxury and he is afraid of you leaving him for someone else.

You would have to reassure him that you wouldn't leave him because he's pretty insecure about himself and being around Hoyt and Monty does not help.

Hello! First off, I just want to say that you are doing the lord’s work with your fics, so thank you!!!

Is there any chance you’d do a Cross Guild x Non-binary!Reader (afab) coming out to the fellas as non-binary? I have been having my own nonbiney struggles lately and I absolutely love how you write the Cross Guild! Totally down for nsfw or just somethin sweet.

Thank you so much again for sharing your works!! 💜

Coming Out to the Cross Guild

Warnings: None! Just fluff

WC: 600

Notes: as a fellow nonbinary I have also often thought about how characters would react so this was a nice write! Thank you sm for the compliments and the request I hope you like it!

“Can I talk to you guys about something?” Your voice came out more nervous than you wanted and three pairs of eyes settle on you.

“Of course babe.” Buggy answers first, draped over a plush love seat in your shared room. Your eyes glance over to Mihawk and Crocodile, both sitting at the large wooden desk that is scattered with all of the Cross Guild’s important papers. They nod, and as usual, you can’t quite gauge their emotions.

“So this is- So I’m-“ Your carefully rehearsed speech flies out of your head as the leaders of the Cross Guild pays rapt attention to you. “Do you guys know what nonbinary is?”

“Duh.” Buggy answers first and you knew he would know, so your attention is focused on the other two.

“Yes I have an understanding.” Mihawk answers, and Crocodile nods as well.

“Okay, good.” One hurdle down. “So- that’s me. I’m nonbinary.”

Your gaze flits between the three of them, heart in your throat as you desperately try and read all of their expressions. Logically, you know that none of them would hate you for this or think less of you. But at the same time anxiety claws at your stomach at some fear that they would look down on you or think less of you. But those fears are dashed when Buggy jumps up and practically tackles you in a hug.

“AH!” You have to bare down to not be knocked over by the flying clown.

“My brave little star! I’m so glad you trust me- us- enough to tell us.” Buggy is gripping you tight and you can’t help but giggle at his flashy show.

“That’s- thank you.” You hug him back as your eyes drift up to the other two. Unreadable as always.

“So you would like us to use they/ them pronouns and gender neutral terms for you?” It’s Mihawk who speaks first, practical and to the point.

“Yes. Please.” Buggy still hasn’t let you go.

“Easy enough. If I ever use a term of endearment that makes you uncomfortable, let me know.” Mihawk gives you a small smile and you feel at ease. Just one more left. You lock eyes with Crocodile.

“Easy enough.” Is what you get from him with a shrug. “I worked with Bon Clay for years I had to switch pronouns for that fool every other day.”

“Oh, yeah.” You weren’t sure what reaction you were expecting but there’s something about the way it isn’t a big deal to them that soothes all your anxieties.

“We have to have a party!!” And then there is Buggy.

“A party? That’s a little much…” You pat his shoulder.

“Well we have to get the news out!” He finally detaches from you, hands waving clearly already planning the party. Mihawk sees your worried expression and walks over to the two of you.

“I think he just wants an excuse to throw another party. I’ll make sure it’s actually respectful.” Mihawk firmly grabs Buggy’s shoulder and directs him to the door and the two of them chatter over event plans.

You stand there for a moment, thinking about how you’re going to go back to your every day life now and nothing has really changed, but you feel so much lighter. Nothing changed between the four of you and that meant everything.

“And one more thing.” Crocodile’s voice breaks you out of your thoughts and you lock eyes with him.

“Tell me if anyone gives you trouble so I can make them wish they were dead.”

And for some reason, that statement also makes you feel better.

[terezipyropescrocs]

saw the barbie movie and am finally free to be a Hater on main without being accused of criticizing something without having watched it- anyway here is a non-exhaustive list of my Thoughts

this movie could have been nothing but fun dance numbers :(

i will say.........i like the costumes and barbieland set design. comparatively the way the real world is shot is so drab and visually uninteresting imo which. i don't feel is great given how much time we spend in it and that barbie ends up living there

the fact that barbies are supposedly affected by the people playing with them but they all act like..... That. just how shallow do they think kids imaginations are? why is there only one "weird" barbie???

admittedly i've never been to LA so maybe i'm completely off-base here but am i expected to believe that ken is automatically respected and admired (but not ogled! with no undertones of violence!) just for existing while my man is constantly dressed like he walked straight from a pride parade

on that note there was a lot of queer subtext/references but it was all very... wink wink nudge nudge in a way that honestly felt a little, idk, uncomfortable to me? but nothing overtly inclusive or even that subversive really

like with the construction workers scene i honestly can't tell if this was meant to be a trans positive moment or just a joke about them being dolls but if so it's like. you have these sexist catcallers but they support trans identities...? literally just as incoherent as everything else going on in this movie

why is barbie simply allowed to walk right into a school cafeteria

gloria and her daughter's relationship and the conflict between them was... very ill defined aside from the apparently all consuming and ever present suffocation of Womanhood™ like wtf is with sasha's line about hating women being the one thing everyone agrees on???? it's the kind of pseudo-pithy cynicism-laced quote that i would expect from a bitter 50s housewife or aging hollywood star, not a teenage girl who, idk, overuses buzzwords?

actually come to think of it pretty much all the female relationships in this movie are very surface-level and hinge almost exclusively on their shared gender identity and not much else!

the fact that all of the barbies were brainwashed to the point where they couldn't even remember their own achievements from ken mansplaining the patriarchy to them.......... and the fact that this is """explained""" with a fucked up and insensitive smallpox joke......... i am mad enough to spit tacks actually

pretty much the only thing i could think of during gloria's big feminist speech and subsequent appeals to the brainwashed barbies is that nothing she's saying actually applies to any of the dolls' experiences "You have to be their mommies but not remind them of their mommy." they don't have parents gloria

the use of push by matchbox twenty in the context of the movie sure is a Choice, seeing as the singer based it off a relationship where he was being emotionally abused by his girlfriend but had the lyrics widely misinterpreted as misogynistic.... anyway.

the way that all of the kens (and even allan) resort to violence and all of the barbies defeat them using manipulation and ~feminine wiles~.. thanks i hate it

i did like how the kens seemed to overcome their differences through singing and holding hands. also fellas is it toxic masculinity to want your girlfriend To see the man behind the tan / And fight for me?

confused by ken's "kenough" revelation from talking to barbie because he.... literally just sang all of that? I’m just Ken / And I’m enough / And I’m great at doing stuff / So, hey, check me out / Yeah, I’m just Ken is that all supposed to be just bravado? it's the same message but he needed barbie to articulate it to him for it to sink in. hm.

feel like barbie's motives for wanting to live in the real world could have been explored better because tbh... the pitch wasn't great!

like her arc is genuinely: experience insecurity for the first time ever because someone else was projecting it onto her > get over said insecurity (that till this point she had never struggled with) because that same person made a speech > gynecologist

not that gloria, the woc who all of barbie's issues represent and originated from gets any kind of satisfying resolution of her own other than pitching "everyday barbie"

the fact that barbie gaining an expanded range of emotions, many of which are negative, indicates that she is no longer a barbie and has to live in the real world to be fufilled- even though all of the insecurities barbie gained from entering a world that doesn't value her and not having a specific career, ken already HAD. men are automatically more human by default ig!!!

people saying that whole point of the ending is that barbieland is a mirror to the real world and the kens will only gain equality when women do as if it's not explicitly stated that the kens have LESS power and influence then women under the patriarchy... but that's fine because the barbies are nicer then men in the real world and kens have to earn their rights because we don't want to reward bad behavior and they need to prove their competence first /s

saw some other butches mention this but the fact that sasha dresses increasingly feminine to represent her character growth and overcoming internalized misogyny is an unfortunate trope

there was absolutely nothing that made me go "oh!!!" as a fan of the animated barbie movies + life in the dreamhouse, or someone who has the most basic understanding of barbie lore (they have one version of midge, skipper, and allan, but no chelsea, teresa, nikki, RAQUELLE, etc.?)

"stereotypical barbie" Her Name Is Barbara Millicent Roberts

Wondertrans x Showtime (aka wxs gender hcs from someone that doesn't even know her own gender fully)

Emu: she/her + neos, trans girl. Realized it when she was really young, her grandfather was the first person she told for the most part, he helped her pick out her name ("it's fitting for a girl that can make the world smile, no?" ":') grandpa..."). Not necessarily open about it (her family was initially a bit confused by it but at this point they're more okay with it), but she won't deny it if someone figures it out, and is very loud about it with other LGBTQ+ people or if someone she cares about is questioning or dealing with dysphoria. Been on hormones for a while now, but still has bad dysphoria days sometimes, she tries to hide her struggles but if her friends see through it or help her say what's wrong they'll help her no matter what.

Rui: he/they/she + neos, the most genderqueer fella known to man. Is he transfem? Are they transneu? Is he just really gnc? Genderfluid? Multigender? No one knows, and Rui doesn't mind, they aren't the type for labels, they're just themselves. Started questioning her gender in junior high, and felt really confused and lost about it for a while, which definitely didn't help her feelings of being isolated or "other" compared to her peers. He knew about being trans or non-binary, but he didn't necessarily feel like those labels fit him, and even after getting help from Mizuki with these things he still didn't want to be that open about it. Once he joined WxS though, they became more comfortable with their identity, though they didn't immediately tell anyone outside of Mizuki or Nene out of fear of ostracization. Eventually, during a conversation about similar things, she came out to Tsukasa and Emu, who were nothing but supportive, and ever since she's been more comfortable with being openly genderqueer.

Nene: she/he, not exactly transmasc but not fully transneu either. Never really thought much about her gender, didn't see it as anything to worry much about. Supportive of Emu and Rui nonetheless, but never entertained thoughts of himself maybe being something similar (no time for gender when you've got anxiety and acting and video games). I like to imagine that the realization is almost smacked in her face, hitting her like a train. The fic idea that I've had is that one day a Rui-caused explosion burns his hair, forcing him to get it cut, and once he does he's hit with this sense of comfort and belonging with how he looked he'd never felt before. It wasn't like she'd felt uncomfortable with herself before, but this felt so much better? And it all sort of built from there, him eventually going to Rui for help once he fully realizes what's going on, and WxS help him and yay :D

Tsukasa: he/she (also dabbles with star/stars neos sometimes), not quite transfem or transneu but somewhere in between the two. Takes a while to realize he's trans, probably long after meeting WxS. Was ashamed and mad at himself for it at first, despite being cool with anyone else being genderqueer. She can't be trans, she's a star, she can't become a star if she is (even though she thinks the rest of his troupe can nonetheless). It takes a lot of reassurance from others in his life for him to accept it about himself, and once he does they try everything they can to help him feel cute and beautiful and euphoric and yay. I sort of have the idea that she realizes this after having to crossdress for a role in a show or something, might write a fic about that someday. (Also Saki and Toya are both vaguely genderfluid, so they also help star stop being a hypocrite and accept starself).

Also they're all arospec and together <3

"queer" is such a good term really. Whenever someone says "lgbt" i'm afraid they could be the kind of people who only support the more mainstream and safe sides of queerness, like the cissies who supports male and female trans people but scoff at non-binary identities. But when people say shit like "lgbtqia+" I think that's just too many letters and makes it feel like a super complicated thing for outsiders. Lgbtq is good, but just the letter Q already includes the lesbians, the gays, the bissexuals and the trans fellas in it, so, like, just say "queer". It perfectly encapsulates our position in society as people outside of the normality of sex and gender while being simple and understandable. People say that it's problematic because it's a slur that means "weird", but "queer" means "weird" in the same way that "gay" means "happy". It's such an old fashioned term whose modern meaning is so much more widely known as what it used to represent that it can hardly count as an offense. Just say queer, it makes shit easier for everybody and has no risk of being inaccurate.

I never know what to do when i see "men dni" cos my first thought is always "oh my gender is dragon that should be fine then"

#rambling #Like i am a Dude and a Fella but primarily i am a Mighty Beast #But also i don't expect anyone to understand that so i avoid interacting #My non-binny 5D chess gender doesn't accommodate this #Perhaps it is also the autism getting in the way and getting me confused as to how strict and literal instructions are #Pls help me ;;;;

fellas if since the dawn of mankind there had been no gendered oppression of any sort (including but not limited to cultural third genders and non-genderedness) do you think you would have an internal gender experience at all

curious because to me gender is this outsider force i have to deal with because i cant really opt out of it on a practical basis (ie. rando at the gas station will not call me a cunt and then go "oh sorry i didn't know your pronouns my bad") my loose alliance to womanhood exists because of (among other equally vague factors) similar experiences of discrimination than me feeling like i am anything beyond "a person"

no third option if the answer is depends/i don't know (or yes/no) please elaborate in the tags

Time to introduce one of my other creepypasta ocs,Alma! :D

(Featuring some old art cuz i don't draw them enough💀💀)

◇Basic info◇

(Okay i actually forgot their birthname💀 my bad)

Name: Alma

Birthdate: 31st of December,2008

Age(before death): 28

Gender: non-binary(biologically female if it matters to anyone)

Pronouns: they/them

Sexuality: lesbian

Nationality: Chinese, Norwegian

Height: 176cm/5'7

Personality: laid back, cool, easy going, loyal, basically Rainbow Dash in a different universe-

Other info i can't categorize-

Went through a lot of alt styles,but stuck with being punk for the longest time

Their mother was Chinese and their father was Norwegian

Lived in Norway until they were 15,which is when their parents got divorced and they moved to britain with their mother and grandma

The name "Alma" came from a nickname Claws gave them when they were teens. Short summary: their friendship started out awkwardly by Claws giving them a green apple,and them giving her their chocolate bar..this went on for a few months until they actually became friends. Because of this whole "apple trading" thing,Claws gave them the nickname "Alma" which means apple in hungarian..and they loved it so much they stuck with it (and it's an actual name too!)

Never really fit in with the other kids...not like they wanted to anyway,kids were cruel back then yk

BEST FRIENDS WITH CLAWS SINCE HIGHSCHOOL!!! (totally didn't have an undying crush on her for years...doomed yuri my love </3)

Religious trauma. (Thanks daddy dearest)

During their time alive,they had albinism(the reason why they have white in their hair and red eyes)

Dyed their hair dark blue all the time

Lost their right eye and arm in a camping accident

Despite their "tough looks" they're probably the nicest fella around

Since they and Claws were besties as human,her death BROKE Alma

They visited her grave every day until they met their fate as well (again..doomed yuri my love </3)

After their death they became a ghost and now haunt the cemetary they were buried in

Cause and date of death:

Because cringe culture is dead, the loveable Jeff the Killer got Alma in the cementary

Date: sometime during 2008

Since Alma didn't change much, time for some fun and not so fun facts:

Keeps the cementary safe and peaceful for the other ghostly beings, and they're kind of the "cool older sibling" for the ghost kids there

Drags anyone under the ground if they disturb the peace

Alma's biggest dream was to become a rockstar

Since they met their fate early on,now they usually just preform in pubs in the Underworld with their beloved guitar

Owns a shit ton of rock,metal,punk, ect. band merch, especially My Chemical Romance merch (I wish💀)

Probably met Gerard Way

The "cool aunt" of Claws' kids..honestly they're the "cool aunt" of all of their friends kids-

Had a very active MySpace account

Would and will treat everyone younger than them as a little sibling

<women3

Didn't like the fact that Claws and Jack were together at first,especially considerint the stuff poor Claws went through with her ex...but later on they and Jack became sort of friends

The most loyal ghost friend anyone could ask for

Their wife's name is Rina(she's the oc of one of my friends) and they love her very much,more than anything else in the world<3

I'll probably add more later on but sadly Alma got forgotten for quite some time so i'm still working on them :")

i like referring to my gender as man-adjacent. like yeah i’m a guy but a bit shifted to the side yknow. not quite a fella but not unable to be seen as one. i like being gendered as a man, it makes me feel great - i’m non-binary and pretty masc presenting and being seen as Guy(TM) is a very very wonderful thing to me. man-adjacent.
