#and now I go to bed

[writingwife-83]

I’m know I’m not the first person to say this, but any newbies on tumblr really need to understand how different this is from a lot of other social media. Particularly tiktok.

I just saw a creator on tiktok reminding followers that it’s actually a problem when someone goes back to the earliest post and watches all the posts chronologically, liking and commenting along the way. The stupid app recognizes it as spam or something and then kinda puts a halt on their account? Literally punishing people for positive engagement?? 🥴🤦‍♀️

I’ve already heard people saying years back how they don’t want to be “creepy” and go through a persons blog, liking and reblogging tons of stuff. But think how many more people are going to be worried about it now, thinking they might do actual damage! Most people, especially younger people, are so used to the way tiktok works now. So please, do not ever worry about this on here. Just remember-

You will never do any harm if you go on a like and reblog fest through someone’s tumblr blog! The only risk you’re taking is to make the blog owner weep for joy!! 😭🤣

April Activity Update - Pinned Post

It’s time once again for an activity update! If you’re new here: these posts help me to keep track of what the frick I’ve been doing, particularly when tumblr breaks or the brainfog strikes. This one includes posts and drafts for March. Everything else can be found in previous updates under this tag. There’s also the full thread tracker here.

The full activity update (along with OOC house keeping) is below the cut. Bold text = links.

If you want to see all IC interactions without the other stuff, click here. If you’d like to start something new, there are opens and memes, or you can just hit up the DM’s. You can also add Ty on Wire for IC texting.

Now onto the update!

If you didn't see Tumblr's post regarding AI, you should go and read it here.

Still figuring out meds and other treatment, and still dealing with some intense irl responsibilities, so thread replies will happen when they happen. I’m trying to put less pressure on myself, but as an anxious human and chronic people pleaser it’s a struggle. 😂

was at an exhibition about top surgery where the artist had very simply shown lots of different bits that go into this part of transition (also included a section about cutting hair and trying out different hairstyles)

(describing in non-detail what was in that exhibit + non-descriptive discussion about surgeries)

-- included things like images of post-op + the tissue itself + a recreation of the surgery + plasters made of his chest before and after + more abstract sculptures 

and I got to talk with the artist about how ecstatic it felt to see all of this, to share in this experience, to feel the reclamation of talking about it as well as the process of the surgery itself and all the feelings it brought up for him and for the audience

and he said that apparently lots of cis people kept saying it seemed really traumatic/gory/graphic and were disturbed by the presentation, and you know, glad they were there and engaging, but so interesting that other people who want/have had top surgery (+ I assume trans and nb people generally, but didn’t ask about that) were sharing in it as something joyful -- difficult yes, but ultimately a process towards joy, and also just happy to see it through our lens and presented so simply and honestly 

and cis people (some) were scared or disgusted or horrified, as a natural instinct -- not bigoted necessarily, but completely shut off to what the purpose of this presentation was, that it wasn’t for them to feel comforted or for it to be simplified for them or for them to idk, see it and go “ahhh yes this process exactly relates to me now, therefore I can understand it exactly as it feels for others,” (if it did, then maybe you want top surgery...)

it was to tell a truth that isn’t commonly presented in so public a space, and certainly not by and for trans people

and it’s interesting, because a large proportion of people are going to have surgery at some point in their lives (presumably... most people?) and probably a major one. so there’s some questions there about:

1. what horrifies you about surgeries generally that you project that fear onto something that trans people (and any cis person who wants it) describes over and over again as a necessary, wanted process, the aim of which is to bring joy

2. what horrifies you specifically about the idea that someone might have surgery on their chest, and what do you need to do to unlearn that -- and this including cis women where there’s a non-zero chance that they’ll be getting a very similar surgery

3. what do you need to do to unlearn projecting horror images onto trans bodies/bodies that have scars/bodies that have had major surgeries?

4. what do cis people/what does cisnormative society have to do to unlearn the fears about bodies that undergo change, stop glorifying stagnation/stasis as the point of human existence -- because a non-zero part of that instinct towards fear isn’t just the scars, I think it’s the process itself, the showing of what is considered imperfection in a society that is meant to try to present as unchanging/unblemished/youthful (and thin, white, able-bodied, and of course: binary) as possible. If that goal is revealed to be undesirable, if an alternative is shown as simply as this exhibition did, your average cisgender person who’s taken in that messaging even if they’ve considered themselves to be allies (and probably still do) is suddenly faced with questions about what this means to them? It is no longer theoretical, they are looking at an imperfect body!

and to them this is meant to be a horror scenario, so even if it’s abundantly clear to us that it’s not, they just aren’t taking that information in. This process was desired, it was pursued, it was fought for, and their instinctive takeaway is “traumatic” (horror horror horror)

5. how come we don’t have a bunch of cool trans and disability oriented horror movies celebrating scars??? (and a bunch of horror movies centred on the violence of stasis)

-- also the thing that terrified me the most was seeing the bill, because this person was waiting so long on the NHS list that he eventually started scraping together the money to go private, as is incredibly common here..... maybe that’s where the horror should also be? @ the audience

#queer stuff #trans stuff #top surgery #transmasculine stuff #transmasculinity #(what are the odds that a non-zero % of cis people in there had to especially uncouple ideas about ideal femininity #from the images they were being presented with?) #this exhibit has helped give me a lot of perspective about going on t as well #i too have internalised fears about process -- i too need to unlearn glorification of stasis #i too most definitely have more work to do in loving the imperfect changing body #(and of course -- stasis is violence -- it's frog in boiling water violence -- it's easier to accept violence than the fear of change) #and now i go to bed

How about a nice easy one and 1 for the ask game? :)

Ahaha, yeah, that is an easier one! XD

So definitely my favourite character to write for is Gerald, because my actual gender is Angsty Villainous Prettyboy and Gerald Tarrant is both largely responsible for that and also the best outlet for it. Veeeery close second is Damien, as evidenced by the massive pile of fics that I've written from his POV, which is largely because Damien and I have something significant in common and that is being obsessed with Gerald; this makes Damien both fun and easy to write, whereas writing Gerald is sometimes a little too real to make it really comfortable.

You know what's really funny, though? The easiest character for me to write, as far as Coldfire goes, isn't Gerald or Damien.

It's Karril.

I'm self-aware enough to know that I use humor as a defence and coping mechanism. Insecurity, anxiety, depression - you name the negative emotion, and I've slapped a joke on top of it before. I have also dealt with a whole lot of shit in my life by clinging to whatever little comforts and pleasures I could find, regardless of how small they might seem in the face of everything else that was going on. For me, that's Karril in a nutshell. He seems carefree and irreverent and unfettered, but that's just on the outside, and there's a lot going on under the surface if you manage to peel back the sixteen layers of double entendres he's got stacked on there. Am I projecting wildly? Probably. But nothing has ever flowed quite so smoothly for me as Karril's dialogue and scenes in the fics I've written him into. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

its true that romance amd friendship will not solve everything but. objectively speaking its very hard to get sad when you can say 'lets go get cake tomorrow okay' and someone will go get cake with you. like there is some good at least. you know

#i think this is why ive been so much more geniunely happy these last few years #like. i will never be going to bed alone. i will always have someone who wants me here #i will always have someone to say 'im sorry im not feeling very well now' and they will be concerned instead of being annoyed #at you as if those feelings are an inconvenience #scratchpost #txt
