#oh i don't like makeup

[box-dwelling]

I swear every now and then I'm like "hmmm I mean maybe I'm not really that non binary. I don't really mind that much stuff with gender and am kinda cis passing" and then I talk to a cis woman for 5 minutes about womanhood and immediately remember that our experiences of gender are very much not the same.

#oh i don't like makeup #i know this sounds very pick me im not like other girls but im not talking about like #i mean stuff cis women talk about saying is a universal experience of womanhood in femanist spaces #they might be right but if they are i sure as hell am not a woman #idk genders hard #i just want to look like i was in a band in the 80s is that too much to ask? #idk do a lot of afab nb people find feminism really alienating and isolating at points #like they make these broad statements about womanhood that are often based on oppression and trauma #and oppression and trauma that ive experienced but the experience still feels so alienating #like even with stuff like makeup #i think a lot of it is basing everything about womenhood on either suffering or sisterhood #and sisterhood has universally treated me like shit historically and i don't feel like femmenity is suffering #i dont like all of it #theres a ton of it i dont like #but the stuff i do like I like because it makes me happy? #non binary #nb #lgbt

at this point I'm not going to finish this, but I need everyone to know that I don't CARE that it was Kamejim, this scene has been replaying itself in my brain for the past week --

#art #super sentai #kingohger #king-ohger #let them dance for real! #LET THEM DANCE FOR REEEAAAL #me at the preview: oh no i really don't want an episode about himeno romance #me after the episode: i need more exactly like this please #i have. a problem. #you know i won't say i forgot that sebastian is actually like 25 and just wearing old age makeup 24/7 #because i am incapable of ever forgetting the most incredible character trivia of all time #but i was not expecting this backstory. i can't believe they managed to improve on it. #i did however manage to forget that one nurse is named ~elegance maun~ #sorry everyone else you are all great #but i do think ishibana is the best actually #then again we are headed back to toufu next episode. hmm...

i think every single person who was ever shamed as a little girl for liking feminine/"girly" things, while also being forced to be feminine, while ALSO being pitted against / forced to compete with other girls, should be allowed to kill whenever they want. btw.

#talks #i hope this won't reach the wrong audience. i was just having thoughts while making barbie fanart and got angry #'oh you like makeup? yeah that's cringe. but also you SHOULD wear makeup because you're a girl. and if you don't do that youre also cringe' #'if you dont like feminine things youre a pick-me but if you do like them youre annoying' what if i had a large rock in my hand right now #nothing happened btw it's just the years of repressed anger and violent thoughts ^__^

#if i had not been really busy the week leading up to halloween i would have tried to make ears and a nose #and maybe drape the wings/cape a bit better so that they looked more like traditional bat wings #but that's ok i think it still turned out fun #oh i guess it would be good to note that i did draw a bit of inspiration from tumblr user demondemon and his vampire bat drag look #but his is much cooler than mine #also shout out to my bat belt statement piece of all time i love wearing it #fuck i don't remember my selfie tag. whatever #teeth.txt #also i wore this both nights i went out so the makeup and hair are slightly different lol

[strawberry-cowmilk]

I had one of my most insane work experiences today and now I'm sure nobody in retail is safe from the rude 9-12 year old kids not just employees of stores like sephora

#nana talks #there was this girl who looked 12 at most but was probably younger with really heavy makeup and two bags from different beauty stores #and I work in a sweets store so she wanted a certain chocolate with hazelnut filling but the name she said is a coffee flavored one #so I told her I'm sorry but it's coffee and she showed me a tiktok video where the woman in the video was eating a chocolate #she wanted that chocolate but again it's coffee flavored there is no hazelnut filling in it #I politely told her she's free to try the chocolate but she called me a liar and demanded that specific chocolate with hazelnut flavor #like I'm sorry but I can't magically change the flavor #no she would not accept a different actual hazelnut flavored one she really wanted the one in the tiktok video #I told her as politely as I could to either leave or take a chocolate she would like to try because I got customers waiting #I don't got time to argue with her or take her insults #she left eventually but oh my god that was a crazy experience

[frecklystars]

AHHHHH the girl who gave me her lipstick when I was at that party weeks ago, she invited me over to her place tonight to go swimming in her "giant pool under the stars" and I’m like,,, baffled bc I only spoke to her for barely 5 minutes at the party I can't believe she asked her family to invite me over again, for something that isn't princess-acting related. I'm so surprised. Of course I’m very grateful too, but I’m nervous hahaha… what do I do at such a high class place?? What do I wear?? Her family is going to be buying us expensive Pasta shipped from Italy???? And such??? To eat while we are swimming??? and they keep telling my dad "she's dying to talk to the princess, she really really wants to see Keri again!!!" LIKE WHAT HELLO WAIT WHAT. she's got these fancy cannolis she wants me to try!!! it took me a hot minute just to try to type the word cannolis!!!! How do I eat in front of rich people without making a fool of myself, do they have fancy forks???? what do we even talk about???? they're MINI CANNOLIS barely the size of my thumb, am i supposed to bite into them daintily or am I supposed to shove the whole thing in my mouth to prevent risk of crumb explosion and then chew as fast as possible so I can answer when they ask me a question like "so keri what do you do for fun" and then I have to say something anything other than "oh I draw and watch cartoons except I haven't done that in several months because I'm Going Through Something Right Now" like what am I supposed to say I enjoy?? I love spongebob so much he's like 50% of my personality??? I used to draw myself kissing robots and sometimes even get paid for it??? pasta is such a weird texture for me so i rarely eat pasta unless if its fettuccini from olive garden of all places bc that's the only type of pasta i've been able to tolerate, WHAT IF I CAN'T EAT THE PASTA LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN PERSON? [nick blaemire voice] A WHOLE ENTIRE PERSON???

#GIRL HELP IT'S IN ONE HOUR AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT SWIMSUIT TO WEAR #when she saw me i was wearing makeup and a big princess getup. i do not look like that irl #she’s gonna see me in my big purple glasses and no makeup and. idk my flower skirt??? and shes gonna be like WHOS THAT #i wanna make new friends so bad but at the same time this is terrifying oh my god do not perceive me #my poor ass cannot handle how many fancy spoons you have 😭😭 I do not belong in your world! why am I invited!! #um maybe she wants her lipstick back. i should bring it back. i deadass dont know why im invited #woof

[the-physicality]

so i did watch jocks in jills as per my usual monday routine

#we had another wonderful couch session with better audio than last time #i saw them in tv makeup and knew immediately what happened lmao [they partied w team ca and didn't sleep] #on another note they have got to fix the trade process like these players get asked about it and they can barely come up with any positives #oh and miss julia tocheri revealed the poulin and desbiens do a ton of interviews for the french broadcast #bc it's required for equal coverage and they are the only ones who speak french which makes sense #so i've got to find those if anyone can hook a girl up lmk [i will take this worlds last worlds any team ca game] #also julia and i have the same read on the t swift situation live laugh love #the vanisova interview was good sound was bad tho :( #i will say that tessa really rides on having existing relationships with these players #i think she is probably better at broadcast than podcast and i'm ok with that #julia is better i think at getting good interviews out of the players they don't know [ie not on team canada] which makes sense #considering she is doing more of the interviewing on the broadcasts #anyways thanks for coming to my post script live tweet of the episode once again i cannot recommend the youtube version enough

i would like more cis people to understand that there really is no such thing as “appropriating trans culture.” are you cis but the idea of using they/them pronouns brings you joy and comfort? hell yeah! use they/them pronouns! You’re not hurting trans people by using they/them pronouns. Pronouns are not a limited resource. Are you cis but your breasts makes you feel dysphoric and uncomfortable and you want to get top surgery? Congratulations! Good for you! Go for it! You’re not “stealing someone’s spot in line.” Top surgery is there for anyone who wants it, including cis women and cis men! You’re a cis man but you hate wearing pants and would prefer to wear skirts? Go for it! I love that for you! That’s a really cool gender expression and I admire it!

In my opinion, the more cis people do things like this, the more it helps trans people. It can take some of the pressure off of our visibility (and thus vulnerability) and helps to normalize varied gender expression among all people!

#transgender #queer #the number of times i've heard cis ppl saying something like 'oh well i don't wanna appropriate from trans people' #like hello what are you talking about? get that top surgery use those pronouns wear that makeup have fun with it oh my god

[running-in-the-dark]

oh! my nephew stayed here last night, and he told me that his grandma's partner - the most annoying, conceited, boring man I have ever met - said he doesn't like it that I always contradict him :)

I've met this guy maybe... 5-10 times total? and every time he manages to say something even more stupid than the last! it's almost impressive! like, he thinks he knows everything. and no one ever says anything, they just let him talk because it's not worth it (I know that because almost every one of them has told me this).

but I get too pissed off when it's something I care about. and I'm an adult now, I can talk back to shitty adults, I don't give a fuck.

anyway, I just think it's absolutely hilarious that he feels that way and now I'll do it even more often :) it's very fun when I ask him what his sources are for what he's saying and he just stammers some bullshit and tries to say that's not the point (pretty sure it's 100% telegram and tik tok, because that's the kind of useless old guy he is).

#some fun recent examples include... my niece gave back my rainbow high doll. he saw it and commented that it's disgusting that dolls #sexualise little girls like that because of crop tops and high heels and makeup and garter belts. what the fuck man. no one is sexualising #anything except YOU #that's a fashion doll. meant to be like 15. wearing fun pretty clothes and colourful makeup. if you look at that and think oh that's #too sexy. then I'm sorry but that's YOUR problem #(and garter belts??? it was some decoration hanging off her skirt what the fuck.) #he didn't like it when I said that no one ever says toys for boys have to be good role models :) #got realllly pissy when I wouldn't stop :) like hello dude you know there's something you can do if you don't want anyone to respond to your #fucking bullshit right? it's called THINKING. just keep that shit in your head #I'll keep doing this until he no longer wants to say dumb shit when I'm around :) (so. forever probably. but he's old he'll die before me so #it'll be fine). #oh and one time he tried to convince us that regular people in the UK are better off since Brexit. hello? dude you don't speak a damn word #of English. you barely know how to order a drink or something. how the fuck would you know #it drives me insane. he couldn't be any more mediocre and stupid if he tried. yet he thinks he's the greatest person ever #can't fucking stand him #and men like him in general. (yes it is only ever men. women like my mother are similar but they're never this fucking sure of their shitty #opinions.) #(in fact they usually give up way too easily. in my experience at least.)

I tend to be a somewhat pessimistic person but I did my best.

I got the best tip I've ever gotten at work today (perhaps shallow, but tips are a fairly important part of my income).

After I finish answering this ask I'm heading out to see my friend's band perform.

Work this coming week is much quieter, so I'll finally have time to get an overpriced chai latte at my neighborhood coffee shop and write.

🕯 (on a scale from 1-10, how much do you enjoy editing? Why is that?)

I used to probably be at a 10 when my ex and I were dating, since he'd always do final read-throughs with me and help me figure out upcoming plot points (I did some edits and rewrites on my own, but that was a less formal process). He still is proofreading the Bachelorette AU, but my enjoyment of that is lower now.

#it's actually been really hard to make forward progress on the mini bang fic #because of the lack of being able to have those extensive plot discussions with my ex :( #which is like. was i only good at this because i had him to help? ugh #anyway #asks #ask game #finn! #writing #i'll send you some emojis after i get back from my friend's performance #or while i'm there if i'm feeling socially awkward #we'll see #oh! other thing about seeing my friend's band! #i put together a cool outfit and i don't wear makeup much these days but i put on fun eyeshadow and my favorite red lipstick #i really like fun lipstick colors but i don't get to wear lipstick much these days #also my eyeliner didn't turn out completely disastrous so that's exciting

idk who needs to hear this but you can transition. right now. anyone can be transgender.

#transition not in the normal sense but as 'realize a transgender gender identity'. sorry it just fit better. #this is *kinda* about transition-transition too because in the context (below) it's true but i know many people cannot physically transitio #the way they wish to because of disability or other circumstances #inspirational #motivational #trans #i'm watching an older video from a channel new to me and they (2 people) used to look like women and now they look more androgynous and lik #I can do that! how i look now does not determine or limit my future possible looks! #i can cut off my hair or wear different makeup or change my clothes if i want to! #i guess though they're wearing typical women makeup in the video. i can't stop wearing woman makeup if i don't wear makeup :( #oh well. i must remember that anyone can transition! right now! #sometimes i look in the mirror like 'my face is masculinizing like i'm on T' but it's just my perception of it <3 #i said this #delete later out of controversy fear tbh

[chamerionwrites]

Man it's such a personal pet peeve when people act like having an 87-step personal grooming regimen = hygiene. Like if you wash your face with gentle soap and water instead of slathering yourself in """"skincare products"""" or you just accept that your hair might get a little frizzy on a super humid day then you might as well go roll in raw sewage every morning. #1 Personally I have slightly sensitive skin so that's gonna be a nope from me, and #2 even if I didn't, I guarantee you that if anything bathing in a noxious cloud of lotion hairspray and perfume every day is probably the greater health and cleanliness issue

#''if you don't religiously remove every scrap of body hair below your eyebrows you are FILTHY'' is also a classic #''oh your shelves aren't collapsing w the weight of hair skin and makeup products? i guess you don't bathe'' is the most annoying one tho #at least to me personally because like i said. sensitive skin. #makeup #is the probably the closest applicable tag #also #gender stuff #my posts
