just had a realization. and maybe im just not looking at the right things. but i dont think i can think of ANY mainstream media that has trans men as characters, or key characters. only trans women, and thats rare. i dont really know what to say on that right now but its. upsetting. very upsetting.

genuinely i feel it is so good to create art with the intention and understanding that it will only be seen by a small group of people. art for a small community you love, art for a niche story youre creating, art of any kind that you expect will not be seen or shared by a large group of people. sometimes i intentionally sabotage the sharing of my own work; i post at bad times, or i only show people things privately and never post it anywhere else. theres a mindset that is caused and encouraged by social media to create art that will get a Lot of attention (big number go up, yay!!) which i think is often not healthy or sustainable unless you are a VERY SPECIFIC sort of person. creating art with the expectation for it to 'do bad'(a relative concept anyway) is so good because really it encourages you to make art YOU ENJOY MAKING!! if you arent gaining the external validation of numbers, it necessitates that you create art you actually enjoy making, and centers that validation and feel-good feeling on the process of the art itself.

i dont usually write out my personal story interpretations and headcanons of things (i like to draw out the concepts and hope it comes across--most of my words are kept to discord and such) but ive been thinking on my interpretation of hearts blindness and figured its worth sharing here! especially because, from what i understand my view on this is perhaps not in the majority.
ive done a comic relating to this (which ill reblog for further reference) but i personally see hearts blindness as something actively and willfully chosen and caused by heart himself--metaphorically, representing his own avoidance and distorted perception of the reality they live in. a mix of him not wanting to acknowledge it all (consigning himself to apathy) and something like rose tinted lenses... but the lenses are instead a fuzzy, tunneled and dim vision that doesnt provide him the full picture.
a key aspect of my interpretation is that heart actively chose to alter his vision (perception) in this way, AND that it is a permanent shift. its something he learns to work and function with. (this also represents how you cant undo change; you can only learn to live with the new shift in your being). i personally.... really dislike the idea of his blindness being a punishment, and thematically i find him choosing to blind himself far more in line with hearts motivations. hes the sort to do something like that without thinking through the consequences because it helps him cope in the moment.
when it comes to the way in which hearts blindness manifests, i personally hc him having a mix of tunnel vision, light sensitivity (exacerbated and aided by the blindfold), some blind spots (i cant remember the exact name but... spots of vision that are just gone) along with visual snow and floaters. the last two are mostly because i have those and i want to project B:•P
umm but yeah! those are my thoughts on the matter, feel free to add to thoughts if you guys have any!

your interpretation of heart's blindness is so cool and true. giving heart that agency benefits both his character and the overall story so much. something about either mind or soul somehow having the authority to afflict heart like that just rubs me the wrong way tbh. like a big part of the story is they're all one and the same, can't survive without eachother. there's like 3 lines in the soul eclectic about soul's tridential authority being pretty surface level, the only way for him to hurt heart and mind is to hurt himself, so why should it be different when it comes to blinding heart
thank you, yes!! i have a lot of gripes with the way hearts blindness (and heart himself honestly.....) is framed and depicted in some spheres of the community.... im sure its unintentional but i feel a lot of people forget heart has just as much agency, power and control as the other two. him being blind doesnt change that whatsoever and the consistent framing of his blindness as a punishment or some kind of... karmic consequence is just.... yeah. rubs me the wrong way too
...i feel theres definitely some ableism coming into play whenever people frame heart as like... the weak beaten down one thats always abused by the other two, or maybe he just sucks at everything because 'ohh he cant see so he bumps into stuff and is always confused!!!' (which itself holds a fundamental misunderstanding of how blindness can work and manifest), or just framed as otherwise lesser than the other two in a variety of ways ....im sure you can imagine what im talking about. its very much a problem which i hope people realise they need to correct.
ableism aside, while i am biased due to this being my own subjective interpretation of things i do agree and feel heart having the choice and control over his blindness is both just a lot more fitting for his character/themes overall and just....far more interesting for the dynamics of the story? maybe it doesnt hit all the 'dramatic angst notes' in the same way as other interpretations but... yeah idk im just rambling at this point B:•P
im glad u like it!! thank u for sharing ur thoughts B:•]

im planning on getting some stickers, keychains and prints made for a con coming up, and despite the vast unlikelyhood of them being bought im gonna do some of my hms art! one keychain will be of soul, and stickers i mayyy do all three of the guys...
but! since im probably not gonna sell out at the con, im thinking ill sell whatevers left online! if i do so, id want to make sure i have a good number of things for anyone whos interested soo.... consider this an interest check?
cost would depend on how much they cost to make, but i live in aotearoa so it would also be +cost of shipping. something to keep in mind!

what do you think about kickstarting the Soul Trident thing ?
!!! ehehe im pretty proud of it honestly!! its a little silly and always so fun to me to think about B:] its neat theres a few things from back when the community started that have Stuck as design features for the cccc guys and i can (usually) pinpoint exactly where and who started it!! theres so many new people since back then, its fascinating to see how things have become just...expected now? inherent to the interpretation? hearts wings are another good example for this!
im not as active in the community as id like to be but im honestly so happy with how its grown and developed since i first joined, and its also always just a little bit jarring to remember i started souls trident being a thing!! i kind of feel like im in the background a lot of the time so i remember that and go !?!?!? oh yeah!!

i fake my own death and everyone else is standing at my grave a few days later and they dont realise im still alive under the dirt because i am so quiet and so peaceful when i pretend to be a corpse not even the mortician noticed my heart beating softly and as the wood of my fragile coffin breaks the maggots start chewing on my flesh because i tricked them so well they wriggle into my lungs with the mycelium and the roots and the burning pain of the eating is overwhelmed by the love i feel knowing that i can be useful to someone who will never ever speak to me because the world has no words and i feel the rumble of footsteps through the dense dirt as humans forget me and a little spark of life whispers to me through my decaying living nerves and tells me its proud of me and that spark takes me by the fragments of thought and pulls me away and everything is forever and i am a part of it all and im happy

underappreciated part of watermelon: the seeds
they are crunchy and when you peel the shell off with your teeth the insides is soft and enjoyable to consume. you can form a method to it or crunch them as they are, providing interesting texture and variety to the melon experience.
some melons have average seeds but some melons have highly enjoyable crunchy seeds that go perfectly with the texture of the flesh. i recently had a waterlemon in which finding and chewing on the seeds was akin to finding and chewing on little chocolate chips in ice cream. i have lately found that i get more disappointed when there isnt seeds in the melon than when there is. far too many people waste an extra little snack!!!
