#due to identity issues

[bisexualamy]

my project falls in between the cracks of different overlapping artistic areas (it's not a film it's audio, it's audio fiction not audio journalism) but it really is something else that i qualify for a lot more grants now catered to "gender minorities" bc the other half of my production staff is a cis(het) woman tbh it feels a bit like a slap in the face.

i am a trans person writing about other trans people yet i do not qualify for so many of these grants for gender minorities bc they're specifically for "women and nonbinary people". i am a trans person who does not qualify but so many cis women do.

talking about transmasc erasure is exhausting bc ironically ppl get so hung up on the man part of the trans man identity and i just want to shake people and say i'm trans i'm trans stop forgetting that i'm trans. my experiences with systemic gender discrimination are closer to women (trans & cis) and nb people than they'll ever be to cis men's

#ren speaks #unnamed podcast project #has a name but i'm not ready to publicly launch it yet #piss on the poor check that i'm writing about how transmasc erasure in the trans community harms transmascs #by essentially letting us be 'trans' OR 'men' when we are BOTH #arguing that we don't face systemic barriers due to transphobia harms us and erases part of our identities #i am NOT saying whatever pet issue you think i'm talking about and i'm not arguing that women & nb people don't also face systemic barriers #there are 1000 ways to be punished by patriarchy the definition of 'incorrect' is vast and diverse and covers many groups

i cant kin anymore because now when i see a character with superficial similarities to me i dont arbitrarily decide hes just like me instead i want to know about his backstory and themes and shit and then if hes still just like me then i just go "wow hes just like me fr" and then move on with my life LOL

#living after midnight #like obviously i still have deep attachments to some characters but thats mental illness and no new ones have developed in the last few #years... hashtag recovery hashtag growing up hashtag no longer having terrible identity issues due to transgenderism

thinking about making my old pokemon ocs into a blog rn

#they all used to just be one person but like. from different timelines #and then there was a whole multiverse thing #and arceus and the player itself was involved #it was fucking weird #and. a lot of cosmic horror got unexplored due to the rp they were in ending #i love cosmic horror but idk how i'd intergrate that into a pokemon character rn #also would only have to choose one to make into a blog for now #maybe bail? i absolutely loved that little shit #or orchid but the main guy who made them Like That doesn't exist anymore #so a Lot of repurposing would have to happen #i think i'll go with bail if i do it. the simplest one to pull off #except for maybe zel or lus but. not much for them to do #lus already had that issue. they were an instigator for cosmic horror and rage #and zel is kinda just a really fucking traumatised kid who doesn't have much motive outside their brother #but the brother isn't available either #sooo. i think it's gonna have to be bail #even then. a lot of repurposing is gonna have to happen #i could keep the experiment parts. like they were a psychological experiment to see if a person's personality could be replicated through #being genetically related and having identical personalities. but then the team rocket link gets messy #tldr is that they were an attempt to get basically a clone in terms of personality to proton so that team rocket would be able to remain #in the situation something were to happen to the main guy doing the dirty work #so they got a newborn kid who was genetically related to him and tried to replicate his childhood to make the kid act the same #it makes a lot more sense in the context of the rp that was happening #hmm #i will think on it

bizarre thing i still don’t understand: transandrophobia guys going to bat to defend detrans ppl.

literally why post this in those tags. like you can type in the detrans tag and go see them calling trans ppl a cult and whatever but these dorks will continue to bicker about whether or not they’re valid until they’re blue in the face

#true answer is because the detrans identity is one that’s warmer to transmascs #due to the prevalence of transmisogyny #so the tbros don’t see the issue since they like the excuse to hate women #this is the same way we get tbro terfs #also side note: isn’t it funny how ‘manhating’ is as big an issue as terfs and transmisogyny #and it’s there three times with diff names #lmao. cope #kvetching #also name a more iconic duo than it pronouns+dykefag in bio while still being this much of a shithead

Some Shion identity crisis from Meakashi in light of recent Meguri developments

#mostly posting these because i've seen a few people say it came out of left field #when it really didn't #shion's always had identity issues due to the switch and the subsequent ostracization and neglect #higurashi #higurashi meguri #gamo.txt

I don't have much to say about Magne other than there was an Attempt, but. That time when Twice and Toga got angry with Overhaul for misgendering her was already indicative of what I'm going to get at in a sec, and obviously it was especially relevant because it was a direct show of respect and support from people who very clearly cared about her (and who called her big sis already as it was!!) (×2 imo because Twice was intentionally written to be the readers' insight into the LOV, and the character with whom they were supposed sympathise with the most at/since the beginning, so it's especially important that the first one who spoke up was him), but the story's progression (especially in recent years) is what most assures me that despite a rather poor execution (definitely not the best, but also certainly not the worst) Horikoshi did mean well with her. "People bound together by the chains of society always laugh at those who aren't" :(

#^ when she quotes her friend. like had the manga not gone on like it has that could have very well been a generic #We Live in a Society moment. but it wasn't. and that's what's comforting tbh #in general i think a big issue with magne from what little we know of her is that her reason for joining the lov was fighting back against #a tangibile real world issue (transphobia) vs all the other villains. whose situations Are partially real world issues as well #(eg child abuse) but they also very much present fantasy elements to them (eg toga's treatment due to her quirk) #and i'm not saying this as a justification for killing her off but. when you're writing a superhero comic with a target audience of young #cishet men it is much easier to present them with fantasy solutions to fantasy problems. again not that i think it's right!!! #but i do assume that horikoshi's thought process was more or less this. like. tiger is there alive and well #but he passes and was confirmed to be trans only via word of god so his identity has no bearing on the story itself #while magne's did. which doesn't make tiger's transness any less ''real'' than hers ofc but again i think it was a matter of what horikoshi #could actually deal with (fantasy problems) with the average readers that he has. it sucks all the way around. #which begs the question. ''why create her character in the first place then'' to which i answer: i don't fucking know man #bnha #animanga #mytext #in general. i've seen lots of people do this even with eg toga and her bisexuality (and when it comes to her i completely disagree but w/e) #but. authors who want to depic queer characters in good will but make mistakes or do it awkwardly or anything else #should Not be put on the same level as actively queerphobic authors. at all. do criticise what's worthy of constructive #criticism when you see it but don't even pretend that those two are remotely the same thing #(jic i didn't explain myself well bc i don't think that i did. what i wholly disagree with is that ''toga is a bad bi stereotype''. #i am bi people and i disagree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It does make me wince to see people reduce Yonoi down to his relationship with Jack when he is a literal fascist. He was stationed in Manchuria ffs theres no sidestepping his incredibly violent, active participation in the imperial japanese war machine. How his driving goal in the film was the construction of the airstrip to assist in the IJA's efforts in Indonesia (which he wants to have the POWs build). How he's desperately ashamed he wasn't able to assist in the Ni Ni Roku incident or at least had a 'valiant' death alongside his compatriots. theres no avoiding it. but it's never talked about.

#overall its a wider issue of people prioritising romantic relationships in media and reducing canon queer characters to their identities #and stripping back any political cultural or religious context to their character to make them more palatable to a modern audience #i hope i dont give the impression of refusing to engage with the subject matter critically in favour of mindless gratification #btw the building of an airstrip by captive POWs on Haruku Island was completely real #many POWs died during transport to the Island due to the squalid conditions and rampant disease on ships #and if disease didn't get them they were either starved beat or worked to death on the Island #anyway please read The Knights of Bushido you can easily find a pdf of it online theres no reason not to #glass shatter sfx. #chatting shit

so many things where autism makes me inherently unable to understand a thing but I can’t complain about not understanding the thing cuz I don’t fucking understand the thing!!!

#tried to make a post about my lack of gender identity due to inability to properly understand the social construct that is gender. failed #tried to make a post explaining my confusion around any conflict ever (of any scale) because i’m autistic (and also am a low empathy #autistic person which only worsens the confusion). failed #but see boom I can summarize my issues just can’t explain myself. hate not being able to explain myself I hate it I hate it #sorry if this is worded weirdly my brain is really really not liking that I can’t explain the thing #hates it a lot :/ hopefully the tags-summary will do as a way of explaining the things??

identity and favouritism…

#stone dance of the chameleon #nuhuron #seasons come and go ✍️ my love for awful men is eternal 💅 #i’ll never stop thinking about how being Qusata’s son might’ve affected him #since Qusata would have severe identity issues due to his own circumstances… i love the ideas we have #of Qusata being unable to truly connect with Nuhuron and that leading to a sense of untetheredness in Nuhuron #i think Qusata would also feel some resentment for Nuhuron which he would pick up on subconsciously #and him playing favourites with his son with the worst prospects would just be a manifestation of that #i read this one nonfiction book where the author talked about how the features of one system become flaws for the future #that’s parenting… i think #anyway happy birthday to my nuhuron can you believe he’s 24 already? amazing #…….. actually i was going to write ‘my husband Nuhuron’ but i wasn’t feeling that #then i was going to write ‘my father Nuhuron’ and that didn’t feel right either 😭😭😭😭 but ig i accidentally left ‘my’ in……. so he’s my Nuhuro #some things are just fate #art update: 12022024

Reading the four swords manga rn and for every page I read I get more and more convinced that ive just shed my old personality and become Vio. Good to know.

#my ramblings #speedrunning identity issues atm so I guess it's due time to become unhealthily attached to a fictional character again

[thatdykepunkslut]

Think about the outrage around "he/him lesbians" and how fucking stupid that was and the ACTUAL REAL LIFE situations in which lesbians use he/him. You got that? You're thinking about that right now?

Ok now map that onto how you feel about all the other stupid arguments going on this week.

#punkblogging #I guarantee you that cis dude femboys are not 'invading' 'women's spaces' and that bi lesbians probably know their identity better than you #like yeah there's probably assholes and dumbfucks but have you considered... they'd be assholes and dumbfucks regardless? #like I have my own issues with 'women's spaces' (largely due to being kicked out of a domestic abuse shelter that wasn't even one) #but like... idfk don't y'all have something better to do? like really go watch a play or something idfk what you nerds do

[sarayashikis]

yes i have a lot of kins what about it 

#i have horrendous identity issues due to Mental Illness yay #only a portion of my characters are truly important to me #the rest are just for funsies #lacie talks

i’ve got to write something in enver’s pov for him and oz. i need to explore that man’s convoluted, weird, delusional, psychosexual feelings for my boy.

i’ve kinda explained it before that enver really really LOVES the idea of what oz could be, what he could mold oz into. i mean don’t get him wrong he enjoys oz how he is but couldn’t he be better? more refined? he looks at oz like an artist scrutinizing their magnum opus in the vain hope that this single stroke will make it absolutely perfect

#main reason why he wants oz to be bane’s champion #and it kinda works out cause oz is an incredibly maliable person due to le identity issues #oz and enver
