Ryuji having the worst bi crisis of his fucking life bc his mom just had to fucking ask “oh, whats this young ladys name?” when he showed her a picture of Akira petting Morgana. Like okay yeah Akira is like objectively pretty, hes like the Classic Delicate Pretty Boy just like Yusuke which is like whatever; straight dudes have eyes, and they know what women like to see. But now hes like. Seeing things he likes in girls IN Akira now and he cant make it Stop like its genuinely keeping him up at night 😭

Pretty boy used to be A Face that would come up in his mind when he thought of the term. There was no specifics in mind, just like. Pretty Boy. Pretty boy! You say that and theres like a Face Template that shows up in ur minds eye and hed just attribute that to any dude who was like Vaguely Pretty. But now its Akira 😭 and he finds himself cataloging things that Akira does that he KNOWS he finds cute when girls do it. The hairtuck behind the ears. The headtilt when he mishears a question. The Actually Pretty Doe Eyes. The breathy, nearly inaudible chuckle he does in place of a Real laugh (thats made better by the fact that its so hard to get him to laugh in the first place). He likes cute snacks. He blushes easily. Ryuji is sitting here like ‘theres no fucking way man. Like theres just no way. That shit makes NO sense (a lie)’ lying in bed in the middle of the night looking like this vvvv w his phone in his hands (looking at pictures of akira)

It drives him insane bc like he did Not see any of these things as like inherently girly or whatever. Like thats just akira thats just his bro! And he does OTHER weird shit that cancels all that shit out. Hes like a messy engineer/tinkerer, he rolls out of bed and whatever situation his hair is is everyones problem. He wears that AWFUL gym uniform and doesnt tweak it AT ALL?? He likes baseball?? hes got a whole binder of trading cards that he will show off if u show any moment of weakness. Like hes just Some Dude but also manages to be Some Girl at the same time and Ryuji is like thats not fair. Life sucked ass but at least it made sense before Akira stumbled into it 😭

#persona 5 #pegoryu #akiryu #chattin #long post #THIS one is almost a year old lmao its been in my drafts for a while #i at least tagged it as pegoryu before running away cutely so i think i was finished ??? well now i am throwing it into the world #anyway. akira is the guy ever. and ryuji is exploding #‘i have died. badly’ #i like thinking of akira like this; hes ryujis first exposure to nb ppl and gnc adjacent stuff #even if akira is p masc by most standards hes still got a bit of. aloofness. about his gender stuffs #ryuji is just really into the way akira carries himself #and it takes him a while to go oh. oh i think its cause i like this dude #um. #😳. #also i wanted to clarify #but ryujis mom just doesnt know Who akira is in that picture #and in my head hes like. looking down at mona and petting him (while sitting) #(AND hes with ann and theyre both kind of a distance away from the camera) #so at a quick glance; hes just Some Girl #and even though shes wrong; it kicks off the mental chaos olympics in ryujis head #‘what hes not a girl’ to ‘where would she even get that from’ to ‘well akira said himself he didnt rlly care what ppl thought about it’ #to ‘well. where DID she get that from?’ to lookin at what his homie does a little closer to ‘aw fuck. man.’ #but i love that for him #ALSO. RYU/GORO IN TAGS….. #but ryuji going oh my GOD oh my godddd 😨😓😓😓 when something clicks in his head about goro #his voice is so practiced and naturally softspoken and his public facing persona is very demure #and once he gets past the initial anger over goro being a pompous prick who shittalks about the thieves. hes like. god fucking dammit. #There Is A Pattern and A Type He Has and Its Killing Him To Realize it. #hes literally sitting in his room w his head in his hands

My therapist just told me, "If gender If was a flavour, you'd be a kitkat sold in Japan." What does that mean for me?

the world needs to accept that *any* girl/woman can have a square jaw and/or broad shoulders. trans AND cis. even/especially without being muscular! i see positivity for trans girls with these features but we need it for all girls, we are struggling with the same fight to be recognised as 'girl/woman-enough' despite our bodies. i honestly think people forget that even a non-athletic cis woman can have such a jawline or shoulders

for example, the amount of 'ew jawline' and shoulder measuring i see in 'transvestigation' or posts in general bullying trans women is mind-blowingly common. as someone with a square jaw and broad shoulders who has been insecure about those features my whole life, not only are these so-called feminists claiming trans women arent 'woman-enough', but also inadvertently cis women

if you are a trans girl/woman reading this, know youre not alone in this struggle. its not only a transmisogyny issue, its an *every woman* issue

smth smth, we are all connected, whether or not we realise

#kay natters #lgbt #trans #i hope this is worded alright #its always in my head #another instance of me only calling myself a woman when its argumentatively necessary lmao #i am. girl adjacent #i still feel more 'cis' than 'trans' because i dont feel like any perspective of myself has changed from how i was assigned #but yeah #trans positivity

Magical Paws and Magical Meow- some cat themed magical girls I had a lot of fun cooking up!

There's some stuff I'd have done differently if I did it again, but overall I'm happy with them.

#magical girls #magical girl design #character concept #character design #pink #pink aesthetic #purple #purple aesthetic #blue #blue aesthetic #cat #cat aesthetic #I think I need to get better at patterns #I tend to go or the same look w them so it's hard for me to avoid that #I was also trying to pull from Jojo a bit while designing their clothes and color schemes #but this doesn't feel very Araki-esque to me #and that's fine- I didn't wanna plagiarize the guy #but I am interested in more ''high fashion'' fits and these are morrrre... kidcore adjacent? eh. such is the world of MGs

very often ill see bears following my nsfw account and ill end up looking thru their profiles as i check for ppls ages in bio and theyre 99.9% bear4bear. That one anon lied to me.

#talkys #this is like a half joke/not that deep bc i dont actually care #and like. hm. how do i word dis. #there ARE people that have messaged me very very excessively over how much theyre into al on there #and i would NOT want that directed at me. #and i myself am‚ of course‚ an al enjoyer #and like. this is also not that deep im not saying its actually affecting me on a very personal level #especially since me and skunker are boring little guy things #but seeing everyone going into that account only being there for my guy is just reminding me of #being friends with like the prettiest girl in high school #where like at lunch she'd leave to get something and all the guys tailing her would be like #so whats the name of your hot friend lol :) #LIKE GAH. of course you're here for him but damnnnn cmonnnn #idk how to describe it bc again id also feel strange if ppl were being weird about skunker instead. idk! idk what it is #and i myself wouldnt lust after skunker adjacent beasts etc so i get it but theres Something about it i cant place #I THINK its bc skunker is an expression of identity and self #and skunker and cow al are like. copium. so some part of me feels really alienated by feeling like my audience straight up doesnt want #''me'' there...ykwim...i think thats it. bc ive been asked for more solo als or al with literally anyone else #or al with other big guys bc itd be hotter #and while im open to dis if im paid to draw it it really feels like the simpsons sheep bit LOL

Okay okay, hear me out. Xedgin Cabin In The Woods AU. Love me some horror  so I must inflict it upon the party. 

The Whore (Edgin), The Athlete (Holga), The Scholar (Xenk), The Fool (Simon), and The Virgin (Doric).

University-aged Edgin and co. are about to celebrate the end of exams by going up to a lakeside cabin owned by one of Simon’s very distant ‘cousins’ who only recently got back into touch with his side of the family. They gather up together, and unfortunately Forge drunk himself into a state of near-alcohol poisoning the night before but his spot is quickly and graciously filled by Xenk (who was invited in-person by Holga to fill the spot and ‘invited by Edgin’ via a text that Edgin most certainly did not send even if, yeah, he will discover later, that is def his number). Edgin’s a little put out by this, but whatever, he’ll deal with Mr. tall dark and broodily handsome tagging along. And he is absolutely not thinking too hard about why Xenk keeps staring at him during the hours-long drive to the middle of nowhere. 

Cue The Harbinger. Cue the creepy old cabin. Cue the mysterious basement and the ‘sin’ that must be committed for the ‘punishment’ to commence. 

As per the (American system’s) rules for the rite The Whore must always be the first to die and, as The Facility prefers to make a show of it, Edgin and Holga’s drinks are spiked because surely with the intel they have gathered these two are just a few loosened inhibitions from being all over each other anyway. 

Except the MINUTE Edgin and Holga start feeling any kind of way that is not ‘that’s my bro’ about each other they know something is WRONG and everyone else gets put on high-alert.

When the chosen monster does show up it becomes really clear really fast that Edgin is the one they’re gunning for. Cue Holga and Xenk MMA-ing them to kingdom come because nothing is getting to Edgin through Holga (for BFF reasons) or Xenk (for sappy romantic reasons).

Meanwhile with Edgin, Xenk, and Holga creating such an obvious distraction and throwing a dozen wrenches into The Facility’s plans which they are desperately trying to overcorrect on, Simon and Doric find bugs, cameras, and, eventually, an elevator shaft that leads deep underground. 

#dnd hat #Xedgin #I must ruminate on this some more but truly I do need to write some horror-adjacent content for this fandom #Someday I am going to Final-Girl-ify Edgin Darvis and then you will see

literally me

#melonposting #spoof #it's so funny. i got a therapist specifically to talk about gender stuff but i've been so busy with school i've barely talked about it #i'm always like 'i have fifty million things to do and i'm freaking out' and he's like 'you can do it :)' and i'm like 'if you say so' #<- gross oversimplification #anyway yes i stole this screenshot from a post i just liked. sorry #i know i'm genderqueer. i do have a connection to my girlness but i'm certainly not wholly a girl #i'm girl-adjacent at most and i've felt that for a long while now #but in terms of what gender i am? i just haven't had the time to think about it :'D #maybe when i stop worrying about literally everything else i'll take a moment for it (spoiler: that'll never happen!)

[casiavium]

All of these "who has more anything gender!" polls are just. white man without extreme body builder muscles v white man without extreme body builder muscles. The gender is "masculine" stop pretending it's universal

#even worse is when it's 'tradionally feminine' v 'traditionally masculine (without super ripped muscles' and the notes are all #she's the opposite of gender he's THE only gender ever. #'gender' isn't even androgynous anymore it's just some guy #vent post #idk I'm just kind of 😬 about people not seeing binary girl or even predominantly feminine as 'gender' whatever the fuck that means #you like androgyny when it's on twinks but don't think the butch lesbian that only calls herself a woman is 'gender' huh #and something about genderfluid characters only ever being accepted when they're in their 'not cis' presentation (cough ze l da) #like..i consider myself genderfluid and sometimes have guy-adjacent euphoria days #(still think about everyone who he/hims me when I cosplay Link ❤️) #but... I get just as much when I'm wearing what's 'expected' of me like skirts and dresses and makeup and am seen as a girl #because a lot of times growing up i wasn't really included in the girl stuff but was still too girl for the boy things :/ #and I feel like. everything focuses on the andro of androgynous that they forget androgynous doesn't mean vaguely fem guy #it's like. shiek is winning the gender poll. but zelda wouldn't. even though they're the same person and one doesn't exist without the other #nonbinary but the binary isn't girl-boy it's trans-cis #nice dichotomy idiot #what lies outside of it

[tam--lin]

Some of y'all need to recognize that your boyfriends are not struggling with things like housework because they're men but because they have executive function issues

#I'm absolutely serious here. Stop being weirdly reductive and help your men figure out their executive functioning issues #mandatory note that OBVIOUSLY I am not speaking in universals I am just saying #Friggin weird that it's a cute neurodivergent thing when girls and people perceived as girl adjacent struggle with household stuff #But somehow literally always a gender issue when it's a man

[dandyshucks]

experiencing my bimonthly (every two months) morality spiral of "it's bad that i like men, why am i not as attracted to women, i must be a misogynist if I personally am not as often attracted to women as i am men"

i would say i need to go touch grass to get over it but unfortunately I do that at least once a day and it does not seem to help 😔 (this second paragraph is half joke)

#the ocd is OCD'ing !!!!!! get me OUTTA here !!!! #what actually would help is getting out and being around real life ppl more but. i am so tired fsdjkl that is so difficult #also i am afraid bc my immune system is so fucked up and i really cannot afford physically or mentally to get sick #if i was a man or man-adjacent i wouldn't feel bad about being attracted to men i think #bc then i'd ''at least be gay'' #but when i am nonbinary and transneutral then i feel like everyone is just going to see me as girl-lite in a straight relationship #and if i am not attracted to women then surely i MUST be a misogynist! because women are wonderful so why am i not as attracted to them! #its funny bc we have a lesbian in the system and also a gay man and then a few other ppl across the span of sexualities #and im just over here being the only one having mental breakdowns about my sexuality HFDSJGKL #everyone else is like. it literally does not matter the way u seem to think it does. ur fine. wtf are u on about. #and im over here spiralling out into crying breakdowns bc i convince myself i must be a terrible person for not being as attracted to women #i need to figure out how to stop going through this spiral every couple of months bc it is exhausting and so so so stupid oh my god #vent // #dandy.cmd

[fandom-hoarder]

Not reblogging because I...don't actually like the show lol. But this made me laugh.

So true lol.

It was 14 gifs long and the whole interaction felt empty. A lot of generic dialogue to say nothing.

#fandom wank adjacent #mostly because i am #anti the winchesters #lol #zmediaoutlet #related posts #generic ass my first fic formulaic ass dialogue #also this girl just does not look like mary i cannot get over it #all the people in the notes of that post being like 'i miss them! the cw sucks for canceling them.' be fucking for real

[televisionforwhales]

There's a purpose for some closed spaces but l really love and appreciate gay spaces with nebulous boundaries cos at least in my experience questioning ppl either end up queer/trans anyway or the chillest allies. winwin

#😘😘😘 to the 'am i [X] enough crowd' #a years-long 'queer-adjacent' friend just came out. we got another one girls!

[rudestmechanical]

every day i wake up and i thank god that i am an actual real life frazzled english woman. i am living the dream.

#i am frazzled i am english i am woman adjacent i am thriving #my friend told me yesterday that she wished she was me bc i was so ‘pinterest vibes’ and it’s like yes aesthetically my taste is incredible #but also you’re talking to the girl who just pulled two forty eight hour-ers in a row #so like. pls reconsider
