gay trans men: isn’t it fucked up that so many cis gay men proudly talk about how disgusting they think our bodies are, get violent when they realize they were attracted to one of us, push us out of community spaces because they don’t think we belong there, invalidate the orientation of the cis gay men who enter into relationships with us, accuse us of raping the cis gay men we’ve had sex with, aggressively misgender us and make assumptions about our bodies, act like their personal lack of desire to be with us means we must be fundamentally unattractive and morally reprehensible, and generally treat our existence like a personal attack worthy of a violent response when all we’re trying to do is exist?
those cis gay men & their friends: oh my god, you’re literally trying to force your disgusting female pussy onto gay men! this is conversion therapy! you’re a predator and a rapist and you deserve to die!
gay trans men: …we literally do not care if you have sex with us. nobody said anything about that. a lot of us are t4t, asexual, and/or already in a relationship, and the rest of also don’t want to have sex with you that badly because we would much rather be fucking someone who actually likes us; this has never been about who we personally want to sleep with. we’d just really appreciate it if you could treat us like human beings and not actively try to make the gay community hostile toward our existence. you don’t have to be attracted to us, just don’t be awful to us? and maybe, once you have that part down, ask yourself why you were so quick to assume a subset of queer people are all violent predators?
those people: HOMOPHOBES! EVIL GROSS FETISHIZING RAPIST HOMOPHOBES!
I know we’re all collectively losing it in here over s2, but I can not FOR THE LIFE OF ME stop thinking about this fucking scene from the first season. Like the way he sees Aziraphale, slams on the brakes, parks the Bentley sideways, and then practically throws himself out the door and into the street—He’s just so brutally and unwaveringly desperate and vulnerable and terrified and AUGHHHH
The sheer, unfettered anguish and 6000 years of unspoken longing have me like,,,
David’s performance in this scene makes me want to eat drywall oh my god
childhood books that are so fucked up on the reread part 1 of infinty: septimus heap. our guy was a child soldier from birth. the entire city-state dealt with an oppressive police state for a decade, waiting for the monarchy to resurface. this fucking necromancer will not ever go away. not after the first time he dies and certainly not after the fifth. you'd think he'd be bored by now. some old queen moved a tower to the other side of the palace for no reason. the main character got time-kidnapped for six months and had to live in the same place that all his loved ones had not been born in yet. his best friend was raised by wolverines. his other best friend is named Beetle. the castle is called The Castle. there's a defunct nuclear reactor underneath it. some of the rats can talk and have human levels of intelligence and people still put out rat traps and try to kill them. there's a fuckin time purgatory that some guy thought everyone would love even as an increasing number of random lost travelers got trapped there forever. if you think you know all the secret tunnels under this place no you don't. and you can rent pink paddleboats in the summer
Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.
anybody remember the stephanie brown essay I was working on under a research grant fully last summer? yeah it’s not done yet it super needs to be done and I’ve been avoiding working on it for weeks. someone tell me to just do it already
im going to kill with hammers whoever invented the stupid idea of trading musical legboots. girl we are all watching the same illicit shaky iphone recording of sweaty guys on stage LET ME HAVE IT
I activated the [Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint] right away. And then, bore witness to a message I had never seen before.
[Applicable individual is a 'Character' from a worldview you are not familiar with.]
…A 'Character' from a worldview I wasn't familiar with?
Almost at the same time, bright light suddenly shone out from the naked man's eyes.
[Someone is activating a power not registered with the system!]
Circular disks were vigorously spinning above his retinas.
[An existence of another dimension is spying on your true nature!]
[Warning! This power cannot be fully blocked by 'The Fourth Wall'!]
What???
Now we have whole entire different universes showing up? With their own absolute beings???
.
.
Wait.
Could it be...?
I gotta go check something.
.
.
I freaking knew it!
Oh man, first Dokja asks if there are unseen readers out there reading his story and now he literally encounters the main character of another novel from our world.
We are really straining the Fourth Wall here.
...The Fourth Wall that didn't answer about the readers and didn't answer when Dokja asked if they'd run into Jae-Hwan again...
