(probably) clever fight club epiphanies that have smacked me in the face with a hammer recently:

marla is the centre of tyler. tyler is created as a version of narrator that he deems good enough to date marla as well as a projection of his desire for marla that he represses along with his other desires throughout the book/film. tyler is presented as a father/teacher figure for narrator (but chuck palahniuk cannot write convincing romance unless it's accidental so they actually have better grounds for a relationship than narrator and marla somehow). as narrator goes through the events of fight club and learns to accept his true self without the guidance of tyler, he is finally able to reassess and realise his desire for marla (which is def better portrayed in the book than the film). this also makes the scene in the book where marla tells narrator that she loves him instead of tyler and 'can tell the difference' hit 10x harder.

the modern world (1999 and also present day) advertises self-actualisation through consumerism ('self care' ect.). at the start of the book/film, narrator buys into these ideas of essentially 'buying happiness' though his materialism/consumerism when it comes to ikea catalogues (quote from the film- "I was one step from being complete"- also how these companies are constantly creating new stuff to stop you from ever actually feeling complete so you buy more stuff). however, throughout the events of the book/film, narrator's repressed anger towards this consumerist ideal of being 'complete' manifests itself into tyler, fight club and project mayhem- these are ways he tries to self- actualise and find himself without buying more Stuff.

fight club is created as a social model for men. the men in fight club are able to confront and find the courage to challenge their issues through fighting each other- this concept of being able to work through issues is not as widely accepted for men in other forms of therapy groups, such as the testicular cancer group at the start of the book/film that also asks men to confront/challenge their issues through talking and meditation. to the men in the testicular cancer group (who are already emasculated through their medical diagnosis), this form of therapy is seen as 'girly' and therefore shameful, which is why, in the book, the entire testicular cancer group disbands to join fight club. in this way, they are able to confront/challenge their issues in a way that society deems 'appropriate', and therefore in a way that they do not feel shame for doing so (this also serves to comment on the alluring nature of extremist groups such as incels to men seeking support who are unable to ask for help of out fear of ridicule).

(though probably not chuck's intention because this book was written in the 90s and separating sex from gender was not a common discussion) the motif of emasculation through the loss of physical attributes (the testicular cancer group/ project mayhem castrating people) points towards materialism in society and the unstable masculinity of the men in this book. these men are easily emasculated and are unable to understand how their inner identity is not directly related to their outward appearance, which is something tyler would fight against in my woke trans reality ("is that what a man looks like?" ect. ect. ).

#fight club #soapshipping #tyler durden #narrator fight club #fight club book #analysis #long post #hope these are good points and not just brainrot insanity #they've been marinating for a good week #obvs film fight club cannot connote narrator's inner thoughts about marla not loving him THAT well and that's why the ending's different #and i love the film ending i love the unstable handholding despite Everything she's put up with as the skyscrapers fall down #but 'tell me every little thing' is so dear to me. in my soul #love them both. different mediums need different things. and so on

the small dick debate is so annoying to me like yeah don't drag people for their body parts but if you're not sexual attracted to someone then you're not sexually attracted to someone like I'm fat if someone doesn't want to fuck me because I'm not gonna throw a fit I'm just gonna go fuck someone that wants to fuck me I can take a hint I can read the room I understand no is a complete sentence I have so much hatred in my heart for this new generation of men* that try to shame women into fucking them by crouching their incel ways in a bunch of social justice talk and you weird bitches are not only falling for it but you're antagonizing women who are making their own choices about who they want to sleep with "oh it's shallow to refuse to sleep with someone over dick size" okay and? let the girlies be shallow

*yes I know some women have dicks but lbr the trans women are not the ones trying to shame women that aren't into them sexually

ugh

made the mistake to make one (1) post about terfs after seeing a bunch of them on my twitter tl agreeing w/ fascists and now they’re really at my throat saying i hate feminism just bc they hate men like! me too!! i hate men too girlie! i really truly do hate men but i also see the dangers of your “basic biology” myth and i dont throw trans ppl under the bus for it. i understand you want to dismantle gender roles and surprise trans/nb are the first in line trying to do that :D but you wouldn’t know bc you’re stuck in your little terf space and undermine everything trans people do. i admit to writing the post under a minute while upset and actually noticed i worded things a bit weird but dont tell me terf ideology doesnt side with the far right bc it actually does, the reason i was upset was bc i saw with my own eyes terfs agreeing with actual anti-abortion advocates online :// sometimes i wish terfs actually got to know trans ppl irl and werent so chronically online but maybe that's too much to ask and i dont trust them near my trans friends lol

oh well at least my post is now a free blocklist and while blocking i noticed 90% of the rad//fems who interacted with it were teens, many of whom were underage (no way it's healthy to be 13-14 and in rad///fem spaces?? they're so toxic and live in an echochamber, which is also why i will not engage them in discourse, it's like with indoctrinated incels / far-right men). may you grow out of it and learn to actually love yourself and others as all your pinned posts say <3

#pinned until the storm dies down and i stop seeing 13 year old terfs in my notifs #like if ur here to send me an ask know im deleting them bc i will never engage terfs in discourse im sorry #also no im not deleting replies im just blocking every single terf who interacted with the post lol #truly i wish all terf to fucking redirect they anger towards something constructive #i should not have made the post bc i truly dislike confrontation and i wanna keep my blog mostly discourse free #i was angry and ranted :/ and what i meant is maybe poorly explained #not deleting it tho bc it’s already been rb whatever #back to regular blogging i’ll be blocking all radfems interacting have a good day #dont rb thanks

A trans-identifying guy hitched a ride on my post to accuse me of using a slur. The slur was not one you may have guessed, like something starting with “tran” and ending rudely. No. The word was “TRA”, aka “trans rights activist,” my friends.

Now, I’ll address this individual directly:

Look, I’m sorry the acronym is negatively associated, hon, but that’s on YOUR end, not mine. It’s not my fault the second you people open your mouths you make a fool out of yourselves :( :( I’m sorry :( :(

And in case my autism hasn’t picked up that you’re just a troll… I hate to say it, but instead of driving my evil TERF brain crazy, you’re really just making yourself and your movement look like a bunch of delusional, incoherent idiots - well, even more than usual, I mean. And I’m done actually responding to you bc I already know you’re weirdly fixated on me and will read this anyway, just like the misogynistic, pathetic man you really are.

Regardless, thanks for the laugh! And I’m blocking you the second after I post this, you creepy loser. You might not know this, but one key aspect of womanhood is the ability to recognise weirdo incel dudes as both threats and absolute scum - no, I’m afraid being a silly ditzy girly or jacking off furiously to the image of our own body in lingerie or loving shoes are all not a fundamental part of womanhood. Bye bye 😊

coom cave - kenma k.

I LOST EVERYTHING ON THIS ONE AND IT ALREADY FUCKIN SUCKED AND IT IS ALMOST ONE AM AND I WILL NOT REST UNTIL THIS IS PUBLISHED SO THIS IS GONNA BE SHIT.

i am a trans male (pre surgery and horomones) so i'm only speaking from my experience. this is trans male reader while having his period while also being a fuckin gremlin. it's awesome and i want to share it dude.

so here's this.

you sat there and groaned, holding your bloated lower belly.

"fuuuucckkkk!" you whined, rolling over and stuffing your face onto the pillows.

"babe shut up, " kenma jokingly said.

"you shut up! you're so mean! i'm in pain!" you childishly said.

"i know and i'm sorry but you've been complaining about it since morning, " he groaned sarcastically.

you pouted, rolling back over and looking around the room.

"maybe i wouldn't complain so much if your room wasn't practically a coom cave dude, " you laughed, pointing at the piles of clothes on the floor.

kenma got up from his gamer chair and walked over to you, spreading his arms and practically jumping on top of you. he went completely ragdoll as you tried to shove him off of you, laughing. he finally propped himself up on his arms, smiling faintly down at you.

"you're the only one i could share my coom cave with because you're just as bad as me, you fucking incel, " he chuckled, greasy hair falling in front of his face.

"i wouldn't hate women so much if i wasn't one, " you half-joked, feeling somewhat girly at the moment.

"wh- no, you're not, " kenma's brows furrowed.

that simple reassuring sentence relaxed you almost immediately. he never said things that he didn't mean. to your knowledge, at least. you smiled at his genuinely confused expression. then you got another cramping pain in your lower stomach.

"IF MY OVARIES DON'T STOP FUCKING WITH ME I WILL RIP THEM OUT MYSELF, " you screeched.

"(y/n) please. i'm about to stream and if you keep yelling about your ovaries everyone's gonna hear, " kenma sighs.

"i don't care dude. i will fucking smite whatever creature decided to make me afab and i'm willing to announce that to thousands, " you stared in his eyes.

"your parents??" he questions.

"yesn't. curse them for bringing me into existence i'm going to murde-"

"(y/n). bro. calm, " he brought a hand to your face, making a pinchy motion with his hand.

"i will bite you, " i warned and he retracted his hand, sighing and flopping onto your chest.

"i couldn't imagine being with anyone but you, " kenma says, reaching up and squishing your cheeks.

"woah, where did this sappy shit come from??" you joked and he squished you harder.

"when can you take the hint and just say i love you?" kenma questioned, squishing your lips together and pulling them apart, muttering 'i love you' in a silly voice.

"why don't you say it first?" you mocked, prying his hands off your face.

"ughhhh you know i'm not good at sap, " he said.

you grinned down at him, feeling smug.

"fine. i wuv you, kenma, " you said, drawing it out in a long and sappy smear, topping it off with puppy eyes.

"i'm leaving. bye. i'm streaming and you're evicted from our room until then, " kenma said, trying to get off of you.

you locked your arms around him, rolling over and keeping him on the bed.

"no!" you childishly pouted. "only i get to see you right now."

"go do self care and take a bath right now. i'll give you bonus points if you give fanservice to the stream by walking in only wearing a towel because i need that money, " kenma joked.

"i'll do it if you wash your greasy ass hair later, " you said,

"fine. now go."

#trans male reader #haikyuu #haikyuu x trans male #haikyuu x you #kenma kozume #kozume kenma #comfort????#idk if you could call it comfort lmao but it is what it is #gremlin y/n #greasy kenma

Hi! I’m part of the lgbtq+ community and Severus is my favorite HP character and I was wondering (if you have the time and feel obliged) if you could please give me a few examples of how he’s queer? It’s been a few years since I reread the books, and def before I came out, so I’m a little in the dark here lol Thanks!!

First of all, I just wanted to apologize for how long it has taken me to properly respond to your ask. I’ve been dealing with some ongoing health issues that have turned me into something of a moody writer. I’ll get random spurts of energy and inspiration and then hit a wall of absolute writer’s block assisted by a major case of executive dysfunction every single time I try to respond to the multiple asks languishing in my inbox. Fortunately, I found myself involved in a discussion just today that addressed your ask so perfectly that I wanted to share it with you. In the very least, that discussion has also managed to shake off my writer’s block temporarily so that I have found myself in the right head-space to finally be able to give this lovely ask the thought and attention that I feel it deserves.

Although, in regards to the Snape discourse I linked above, I feel that I should warn you in advance that the discussion was prompted by an anti-Snape poster who made a rather ill-thought meme (I know there are many in the Snapedom who would rather just avoid seeing anti-Snape content altogether, so I try to warn when I link people to debates and discussions prompted by anti-posts) but the thoughtful responses that the anti-Snape poster unintentionally generated from members of the Snapedom (particularly by @deathdaydungeon whose critical analyses of Snape and, on occasions, other Harry Potter characters is always so wonderfully nuanced, thought-provoking, and well-considered), are truly excellent and worth reading, in my opinion. Also, as I fall more loosely under the “a” (I’m grey-ace/demisexual) of the lgbtqa+ flag and community I would prefer to start any discussions about Snape as a queer character or as a character with queer coding by highlighting the perspectives of people in the Snapedom who are actually queer before sharing any thoughts of my own.

In addition, I also wanted to share a few other posts where Snape’s queer coding has been discussed by members of the Snapedom in the past (and likely with far more eloquence than I could manage in this response of my own).

Source

Along with an excellent article in Vice by Diana Tourjée, in which a case for Snape being trans is convincingly argued.

Importantly, you’ll notice that while some of these discussions do argue the possibility of Snape being a queer or trans character others may only discuss the way that Snape’s character is queer coded. That is because there is a distinct but subtle difference between: “This character could be queer/lgbtq+” and: “This character has queer/lgbtq+ coding” one which is briefly touched on in the first discussion that I linked you to. However, I would like to elaborate a bit here just what I mean when I refer to Snape as a character with queer coding. As while Rowling has never explicitly stated that she intended to write Snape as lgbtq+ (although there is one interview given by Rowling which could be interpreted as either an unintentional result of trying to symbolically explain Snape’s draw to the dark arts or a vague nod to Snape’s possible bisexuality: "Well, that is Snape's tragedy. ... He wanted Lily and he wanted Mulciber too. He never really understood Lily's aversion; he was so blinded by his attraction to the dark side he thought she would find him impressive if he became a real Death Eater.”) regardless of her intent when she drew upon the existing body of Western literary traditions and tropes for writing antagonists and villains in order to use them as a red-herring for Snape’s character, she also embued his character with some very specific, coded subtext. This is where Death of the Author can be an invaluable tool for literary critics, particularly in branches of literary criticism like queer theory.

Ultimately, even if Rowling did not intend to write Snape as explicitly queer/lgbtq+ the literary tradition she drew upon in order to present him as a foil for Harry Potter and have her readers question whether he was an ally or a villain has led to Snape being queer coded. Specifically, many of the characteristics of Snape’s character design do fall under the trope known as the “queering of the villain.” Particularly, as @deathdaydungeon, @professormcguire, and other members of the Snapedom have illustrated, Snape’s character not only subverts gender roles (e.g. his Patronus presents as female versus male, Snape symbolically assumes the role of “the mother” in the place of both Lily and later Narcissa when he agrees to protect Harry and Draco, his subject of choice is potions and poisons which are traditionally associated more with women and “witches,” while he seemingly rejects in his first introduction the more phallic practice of “foolish wand-waving,” and indeed Snape is characterized as a defensive-fighter versus offensive, in Arthurian mythology he fulfills the role of Lady of the Lake in the way he chooses to deliver the Sword of Gryffindor to Harry, Hermione refers to his hand-writing as “kind of girly,” his association with spiders and spinners also carries feminine symbology, etc.) but is often criticized or humiliated for his seeming lack of masculinity (e.g. Petunia mocking his shirt as looking like “a woman’s blouse,” which incidentally was also slang in the U.K. similar to “dandy” to accuse men of being effeminate, the Marauders refer to Snape as “Snivellus” which suggests Snape is either less masculine because he cries or the insult is a mockery of what could pass for a stereotypical/coded Jewish feature, his nose, Remus Lupin quite literally instructs Neville on how to “force” a Boggart!Snape, who incidentally is very literally stepping out of a closet-like wardrobe, into the clothing of an older woman and I quoted force because that is the exact phrase he uses, James and Sirius flipping Snape upside down to expose him again presents as humiliation in the form of emasculation made worse by the arrival and defense of Lily Evans, etc.).

Overall, the “queering of the villain” is an old trope in literature (although it became more deliberate and prevalent in media during the 1950s-60s); however, in modernity, we still can find it proliferating in many of the Disney villains (e.g. Jafar, Scar, Ursula, etc.), in popular anime and children’s cartoons (e.g. HiM from Powerpuff Girls, James from Pokemon, Frieza, Zarbon, the Ginyu Force, Perfect Cell, basically a good majority of villains from DBZ, Nagato from Fushigi Yuugi, Pegasus from Yu Gi Oh, etc.), and even in modern television series and book adaptations, such as the popular BBC’s Sherlock in the character of Moriarty. Indeed, this article does an excellent job in detailing some of the problematic history of queer coded villains. Although, the most simple summary is that: “Queer-coding is a term used to say that characters were given traits/behaviors to suggest they are not heterosexual/cisgender, without the character being outright confirmed to have a queer identity” (emphasis mine). Notably, TV Tropes also identifies this trope under the classification of the “Sissy Villain” but in queer theory and among queer writers in fandom and academia “queering of the villain” is the common term. This brings me back to Snape and his own queer coding; mainly, because Rowling drew upon Western traditions for presenting a character as a suspected villain she not only wrote Snape as queer (and racially/ethnically) coded but in revealing to the reader that Snape was not, in fact, the villain Harry and the readers were encouraged to believe he was by the narrator she incorporated a long history of problematic traits/tropes into a single character and then proceeded to subvert them by subverting reader-expectation in a way that makes the character of Severus Snape truly fascinating.

We can certainly debate the authorial intent vs. authorial impact where Snape’s character is concerned. Particularly as we could make a case that the polarizing nature of Snape may well be partly the result of many readers struggling against Rowling subverting literary tropes that are so firmly rooted in our Western storytelling traditions that they cannot entirely abandon the idea that this character who all but had the book thrown at him in terms of all the coding that went into establishing him as a likely villain (e.g. similar to Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights, Snape is also coded to be associated with darkness/black colors and to represent danger and volatile/unstable moods, while his class status further characterizes him as an outsider or “foreign other,” and not unlike all those villains of our childhood Disney films which affirmed a more black-and-white philosophy of moral abolutism, such as Scar or Jafar, the ambiguity of Snape’s sexuality coupled with his repeated emasculation signals to the reader that this man should be “evil” and maybe even “predatory,” ergo all the “incel” and friendzone/MRA discourse despite nothing in canon truly supporting those arguments; it seems it may merely be Snape’s “queerness” that signals to some readers that he was predatory or even that “If Harry had been a girl” there would be some kind of danger) is not actually our villain after all.

Indeed, the very act of having Snape die (ignoring, for the moment, any potential issues of “Bury Your Gays” in a queer analysis of his death) pleading with Harry to “look at him” as he symbolically seems to weep (the man whom Harry’s hyper-masculine father once bullied and mocked as “Snivellus”) memories for Harry to view (this time with his permission) carries some symbolic weight for any queer theory analysis. Snape, formerly portrayed as unfathomable and “secretive,” dies while pleading to be seen by the son of both his first and closest friend and his school-hood bully (a son that Snape also formerly could never see beyond his projection of James) sharing with Harry insight into who he was via his personal memories. For Harry to later go on to declare Snape “the bravest man he ever knew” carries additional weight, as a queer theory analysis makes it possible for us to interpret that as Harry finally recognizing Snape, not as the “queer coded villain” he and the reader expected but rather as the brave queer coded man who was forced to live a double-life in which “no one would ever know the best of him” and who, in his final moments at least, was finally able to be seen as the complex human-being Rowling always intended him to be.

Rowling humanizing Snape for Harry and the reader and encouraging us to view Snape with empathy opened up the queer coding that she wrote into his character (intentionally or otherwise) in such a way that makes him both a potentially subversive and inspiring character for the lgbtq+ community. Essentially, Snape opens the door for the possibility of reclaiming a tradition of queer coding specific to villains and demonstrating the way those assumptions about queer identity can be subverted. Which is why I was not at all surprised that I was so easily able to find a body of existing discourse surrounding Snape as a queer coded or even as a potentially queer character within the Harry Potter fandom. At least within the Snapedom, there are many lgbtq+ fans of his character that already celebrate the idea of a queer, bi, gay, trans, ace/aro, or queer coded Snape (in fact, as a grey-ace I personally enjoy interpreting Snape through that lens from time-to-time).

Thank you for your ask @pinkyhatespink and once again I apologize for the amount of time it’s taken me to reply. However, I hope that you’ll find this response answered your question and, if not, that some of the articles and posts from other pro-Snape bloggers I linked you to will be able to do so more effectively. Also, as a final note, although many of the scholarly references and books on queer coding and queering of the villain I would have liked to have sourced are typically behind paywalls, I thought I would list the names of just a few here that I personally enjoyed reading in the past and that may be of further interest should you be able to find access to them.

The way things get reified even when people realize they’re social constructs. Like that recent post that was talking about gendered hetero socialization of children, but then separated the kids into “straight children” and “gay children.” I don’t disagree w the idea that kids who more openly are gnc and express same-sex interest are harmed more by this socialization. The point of the post was to discuss why “trans women have male privilege” is bunk and having grown up w gnc amab gnc siblings, I know the brutality of what the socialization can mean to LGBT people in general. So obviously, there’s a point to the post and discussing how different kids are affected. However even saying “straight children” is acting like such a thing exists. If you recognize gender and sexuality as social constructs that are socialized into children, then a person is not straight until they conceive themselves to be. But that “heterosexuality” is taught and must be maintained.

I’m gonna compare myself to my big brother here. My big brother is a “cishet” guy but he was gnc as a child and bullied for it. I watched him go from a happy adorable weird little kid to this bitter incel-like rage machine as a teen. There was obviously a lot going on there but his gendered socialization was a part of it. All the good sweet things about him as a child drained away, particularly any sign of femininity. I have these strong memories of the entire family making fun of pictures of him in a dress when he was a toddler—he was a favorite of the teenage girls who were friends of the family, and they dressed him up, and he had fun. That fun became a source of shame and he became a person so alienated from women that he hated them while obsessing over his desire to be in a romantic relationship.

For me, I mostly remembering hating being a girl as a child. I could only enjoy being a girl when I was reading stories about strong women or “not like other girls” type narratives. I have strong memories of my brothers stealing my barbie dolls as a toddler and constantly making fun of any girly interests. I eventually just wanted to be a boy. I remember telling a girl in third grade that and she said she felt the same way and it was a moment of pure validation.

Snippets stick out at me: my mom telling me men and women are so different mentally that they may as well be from different planets (referencing the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are from Venus as her example). I reacted with distress to this. I remember telling an older boy that I didn’t want to date boys when I was 11 or so and he said “what are you, a lesbian?” I didn’t know what the word meant. In second grade, I kissed a girl on the cheek because I was so grateful she befriended me and I told her I loved her. My mom said “it sounds like you’re really good friends with her.” I think there’s a part of me that could have wanted to be with men but it was destroyed because of how coerced I felt to be with a boy. I would get “crushes” on boys which would just be me telling everyone I had a crush and acting like I did. The one time a boy liked me back I immediately lost interest. I was so virulently homophobic by fifth grade that I would get mad at kids for making gay jokes bc being gay was so evil it shouldn’t be joked about. The first time I remember hearing about homosexuality, it was on TV. There was a news story about a California bill on. I must have been 2 or 3. I saw an old lady kiss another old lady on the cheek. I had never seen two people of the same gender together and I was immediately interested but my mom explained to me how bad it was.

I could go on but obviously I had a difficult gendered socialization. My brother did too, both of my brothers did. I mean, returning to my “cishet” brother, though he may never have had interest in men, he still was punished for his sexuality by our parents bc we live in a socially repressive society, especially so for us as evangelical Christians. However there’s distinctions: since I actively came to the conclusion that I was a lesbian around age 14 and told my brothers, I went through a hell that my hetero brother didn’t—you know since he and my other brother outed me. Lol. Like bc of homophobia I was relentlessly targeted and mistreated in my family and things never were the same for me w them. That’s one reason my het brother is living w them and I’m not. However... what if I had just decided I was a straight Christian girl. You could argue I would still be a lesbian. If you repress desires that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. But also, I think to some extent ALL straight people are doing that. Straightness itself is only a coherent category in relation to gayness. And straightness has to remain pure in order to maintain its boundaries. So all straight people are living in functional denial of homosexual potential.

For someone like my big brother, this really wasn’t an issue, I think bc he just doesn’t have homosexual inclinations. And he’s not particularly anti-gay now that he’s older. And for myself, I identify as a lesbian bc that’s how I feel and fits my experiences, but I also don’t try to maintain a rigid boundary of “I am not attracted to men.” I identified as bi for a couple years, but the only reason I did that is that I broke down under harassment and confusion. All my encounters w men have been bad or weird and I just feel more comfortable and myself only w women. But at the end of the day I feel like I’m a woman bc someone told me I was and my sexuality has been shaped by years of shitty traumatic experiences. So lesbianism is about claiming the right to be how I want, but not “who I am”—I don’t have a breakdown when I think a guy is hot and worry I’m “faking” anymore.
