One of the hardest things about watching LOTMS is seeing Gerard in crisis and seeing those around him who love him doing their best to look out for him. And the past year we’ve gotten to see that same love and support while they seem to be doing so much better coping with things even through the pandemic. Because no matter how you’re coping, having friends by your side there for you is everything. (x, x)

#i don't really gif those moments cause they're legit awful but this specific few seconds like... i think about it a lot #cause brushing the gravel and dirt off gerard's shirt is... in the grand scheme of things with what was happening... so little and inconsequ #ential #but it's something he could do at the time and it's gentle and he's there #and now 20 years later he's still there #and gerard is STILL HERE #and he can comfort him and support him and love him and he can see how he's recovered and grown and lived #ANYWAY THIS POST IS AN EXORCISM FOR ME #gerard way #frank iero #addiction cw #alcoholism cw #mcr #mcredit #lotms #my chemical romance

Why doesnt feminism talk about the possibility of males selectively breeding and training women to be weaker and more docile?

Men are attracted to women who are weaker than they are, in more ways than one, a male's natural selection is a female he can easily dominate.

We all know that men restricted many things from women, but the one important thing they kept from us. Knowledge! keeping us away from education, to keeps us dumber than them.

The fact that males killed women in witch trials the ones who were educated, independent, elders, single, healers basically any woman who can't be easily controlled or lived freely from men and purposely breed with the more submissive ones.

The peak of female beauty is that we are reduced to either a child, to be weak or disabled. Even when beauty standards changes u know what men never find attractive? MUSCLES! The key to physically strength in women.

Women who are younger, dumber and/or financial unstable are more desirable cause they are easier to control and manipulate, since they are more desirable, more than likely men will reproduce with them but women who are older, more intelligent and/or have higher positions of power are more likely to be single.

For centuries males keep women weak and co dependant, selectively breeding and training women. So that we are easier to control and dominate.

My theory is that, that's why they are "allowing" us to have our rights now, men rule most of the world they can easily take away our rights if they wanted, just like how they take away abortion rights and female spaces, the training for us has been complete and they know women wont leave them now.

I wanted to know how do you interpret Tanya's gender. After reading chapter 58 of the manga i got the impression that she is definitely trans coded, but maybe thats just me

Very good question.

To be honest, when I think too hard about Tanya’s gender (and sexuality, for that matter) it gives me brain worms. Fun brain worms, but brain worms nonetheless. I can’t explain it. Everything she’s got going on is complicated as shit there’s way too much to think about.

Like, she was a man, but now she's a girl. But at some points she says she still sees herself as a man internally so is this MtFtM? How does that work. And if she accepts she's a woman now, is that just MtF or do we add more letters. More importantly: Was Being X being Transphobic or being the Greatest Trans Ally of All Time with the free divinely issued sex change.

Ok ok, jokes aside. Confession: I actually do not keep up with the manga, so I had to go find the chapter and read it first. Having read it now though, I see what you mean.

The conversation she has with the Salaryman/herself in that chapter really does read as essentially saying “I’ve accepted who I am now.” It’s a far cry from a much earlier part of the manga I remember where she has a breakdown about being a man/people seeing her as a girl.

A friend of mine was actually showing me stuff from more recent chapters of the manga (don’t know which chapter tragically, but I know it’s not currently translated to English) and from what I gathered of it, Being X was showing Tanya a dream of being back in her past life and in response she basically demanded to go back to being Tanya immediately. It is definitely not just you, I 100% see the trans-coding you’re talking about.

As for my personal interpretation of her gender, I touched very briefly on it once before, but I honestly think she wouldn’t want to label herself as anything. At first, this is out of hesitance and not wanting to acknowledge that anything might be ““wrong”” or ““different”” about her. Later on it turns into character growth, more along the lines of, “I don’t need the label to define me, I just am what I am/like what I like. I don’t care about it any more than that.” Yes this is 100% projection on my part. No, I won’t apologize for it lmao.

Of course, that's entirely my own headcanon. I definitely am not saying it’s the only way to interpret her, it’s just my personal thoughts. Especially since my opinion is subject to change on a dime depending on what I’m reading/working on myself. The Tanya gender is, in fact, transient, shifting like water.

Like. A transfem Tanya fic that focuses on her adapting to life in her new world and coming to discover she doesn’t actually hate her new body? I’d totally read that. I’ve seen a few fics that include that as a part of the narrative and those scenes of acceptance were among my favorite parts.

I get the feeling this is the route that the manga is going as well. It’s a bit of a shame that we don't have those aforementioned scenes in the light novel (or at least, I don't remember them), but I don’t think that Carlo Zen really intended that to be the focus/narrative in the first place. And honestly, I also think that’s a good thing because it allows for so much more room for interpretation and headcanon around Tanya’s character.

Anyway, the other direction is also compelling to me. A transmasc Tanya fic where, after feeling uncomfortable and hating how feminine he looks for years and years, he finally goes ‘Fuck this, I’m gonna go back to being a man’? I would read the fuck out of that too.

Could also be paired with him finally choosing to defect, where they think about it like, ‘Well there’s nothing to hold me back now, right? I don’t have to maintain appearances anymore. Also, since I’m defecting this would be a great way to hide myself. They’d all be looking for the wrong person. Two birds with one stone, how efficient.’ …Now we’re getting to fic ideas I won’t ever get to so it’s time to move on I think.

Semi-related to the Trans Tanya Concept, this actually brings me to a bit of a lore/headcanon/idea/question I want to present to the public for opinions. In Norden, during the inciting battle of the war, Tanya uses magic to “dope up” so she could enhance her strength and reaction time and kill pain. I took this to mean she used a formula to synthesize the narcotics/adrenaline hormone/whatever else directly into herself, right?

Can you see where I’m going with this? As long as you know which hormones to make, how they’re made up, and what quantities you need… Well, don’t you think magic HRT is completely possible? Of course, as I'm not sure it makes sense for Salaryman to have known the detailed specifics about it from the modern world, it would require a lot of in-universe research/science advancement for someone to actually do that, but theoretically...

The magic system in this universe has so much potential to be explored, I’m fascinated by what you can theoretically do with it. Although, this is long and off-topic already I think this should be the end, lol.

I think I talked too much? I’m sorry, you were probably not expecting such an answer. I told you, Tanya gives me brain worms (mental illness).

I guess the TL;DR is this: that kid definitely ain’t cishet.

#marathehomosexual #ask #not a daily post #you could ask me a simple yes or no question and i would STILL find a way to make the answer multi-paragraph #i STILL have things to talk about. im just choosing to throw it in the tags now #LIKE. if synthesizing hormones is something completely possible in universe #is birth control possible as well? how about anti-depressants? #how far can we go with this? can you get addicted to these magic-synthetic chemicals/hormones/whatever? #say you need a little pick me up in the day. you give yourself a little boost in the happy-brain-chemicals (dopamine or whatever) #(im not a biologist or knowledgeable about most biology-related things honestly. please just go with it) #would a mages body start to rely on magic to produce it and stop creating it naturally anymore? #could this create a dependency? would you start to need to make more? #its insane. i feel insane #you ask me a simple question and i refuse to stop elaborating #rimu be quiet now

I think we as a society aren't paying attention enough to exactly how FUCKING TOUCH-STARVED Aaravos must be. That man hasn't been touched in over 300 years, probably more. If you hugged him he'd probably melt. Where are all my clingy!Aaravos fics? Huh? He should be constantly trying to either touch or manipulate his partner into touching him in some way. Pulling every trick he knows just to get some cuddles. Or just straight up demanding it because he's the boss or whatever makes it seem more in character. Give me an incredibly touch-starved Aaravos who cannot get enough physical affection after some poor fool gives it to him a singular time! Make him desperate after so many years being lonely in solitary confinement for high crimes and misdemeanors!

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

#the dragon prince #tdp #aaravos #tdp aaravos #the dragon prince aaravos #for real tho once he gets the happy chemicals from a hug or some cuddles #he should be hooked like a cocaine addict #this is coming from someone who is probably also a little touch-starved #and likes physical affection way too much

the thing is that Kintsugi Kid is a very good example of what the band has described as SO Much (For) Stardust's combination of nihilism and hope. and it's also a good example of the frickin... Dune litany against fear type thing of acknowledging a feeling ("I spent 10 years in a bitter chemical haze and I miss the way I felt nothing") and letting it exist instead of trying to A= get rid of it or B= suppress it and like... what does the litany thing say?? let it flow through you and then only you remain?? that thing. the song ends with Pete's youngest kid screeching in joy because she gets to be a rockstar on a song (I'm not kidding. look at the Genius note.) the whole album is basically a case in this, in saying... yeah. this is the honest truth about how I'm feeling. but it isn't the end.

#it's also a subtle example of the guts thing being referenced again which effs me up personally because #it is very much a song About addiction. in many ways. you understand?? the chemical haze could be drugs or mental illness #or some combination of both. but it is About that #''on the bright side got the wrong insides'' is. oh my GOSH. when you think about that #sorry #lftos essay #been thinking about this for an hour ough #fob #fall out boy #smfs #going on main bc I have most of my essay notes over here 🤷‍♀️

ngl having bad brain times. Can you ever physically FEEL the lack of the get things done chemical

#the advice for depression is to do the things that you used to enjoy and wait for them to help again #it's good advice and it does work to an extent but listen #i don't choose when i find things enjoyable i fixate on a topic and everything becomes enjoyable again #it's not like doing hobbies or reading or cleaning or eating meals helps THAT much #it just keeps me busy and sane and makes my body keep working until i get some good brain chemical shipped in #then I'll remember everything i've been putting off but at least i'll be relatively functional at that point #it's not that all the depression tips are useless. i'd be much worse if i didn't do any of them #as it is i've made it over 25 years without even developing a nicotine addiction or a crippling dependence on alcohol #my joints are even still fine mostly and i can tell when to get out of a situation so i can keep living #now i even know when i want to be around someone and when i don't! #i'm basically great at existing i've studied with the masters #still.

Y'know what really fucks me up about Johnny? If we are to believe the timeline as it's presented, he was a child for a lot of the war and sexual exploits we hear about in the game. He was born November 16th, 1988. He died the first time August 20th, 2023. He was 34. For all intents and purposes, he was at the beginning of his life. Samurai was mostly around from 2003-2008, we know that this was after he deserted from the war. He was 14-15 in 2003. The psycho fan quest we go on where we see all of the posters and he's making commentary on various shows? There's one where he specifically says that the food was terrible, the acoustics were terrible, but the girls were great. It was quote, "The best pussy I ever ate". That poster is 07/01/2004, which makes him, again, 15. Admittedly, I could go on for a while. I won't, and I know someone's probably going to see this post and pull the "Johnny's an unreliable narrator" card, which to a degree is true, but these dates aren't coming from him. We know Samurai was formed when he was 14, we know Samurai was formed after he came back from war. We know he was exposed to a rockstar lifestyle as a teenager. We know he struggled with addiction as voiced by him multiple times, and his repeated return to a bottle of pills during his conversation and argument with Altiera Cunningham. I would never try to justify his actions, but I can say that they're pretty readily explained. I can also say that he deserves a fair measure of empathy.

#two ennies #johnny silverhand #there's so much textual evidence to his brain developing under massive amounts of chemical and emotional stress #he's not some random entitled fuck pulling his beliefs out of his ass #he's an adult with PTSD and addiction issues and a mountain of paranoia #I also think sometimes about how him being trapped in V's head is probably the first time he's been seriously wholly clean in eons
