the gold beneath the virtual rainbow

You just gotta use tumblr through the firefox mobile app instead of using the tumblr app. Which has the added bonuses of having a better UI than the tumblr app, and allowing you to use ublock origin so you never see another ad again.

Looking at my Alucard drawings and realizing oh i really am in love with this guy

i made this gif for an inside joke between me and jack but then i realised this honestly looks like a gif someone would have made in 2013

Cosplayers at a Star Trek Convention, 1976

You couldn’t just rewatch the episode to look at all the details of the costume. You got lucky with press photos showing up in magazines or you just watched the episode/movie while sketching furiously

I’m a semi old school cosplayer (started in 2001) so some of the old school techniques are still things I learned on (I’ve sketched from stuttering VHS tapes on pause and used the overhead transparency trick)… what we have access to now for costume recreation blows what they had out of the water just in terms of reference material, let alone specialty costume supplies like thermoplastics and cosplay wigs.

and i do genuinely hope the therapist he is seeing is one who is actually willing to help trans patients and this isnt some exploratory therapy shit. You dont go to therapy for gender stuff if you arent questioning gender stuff, but plenty of therapists will keep you questioning as long as possible because they do not want you to come to the answer that you want to transition. thats bad even if shen is cis.

These people just know terf is a mean, bad thing and if I think people are mean and bad then that's a terf! Hence them calling transfeminists they don't like terfs.

trans women actually do need to be told that there are other options, that what we want and don't want out of sex is important, that our limits and boundaries are important, that if we don't want to top THAT IS OK, and the negative feelings we might have surrounding the idea of topping are not regressive internalized bigotry that we just need to get over. it is very likely literally just dysphoria and THAT IS OK

if she says she's dysphoric and she wants bottom surgery, too fucking bad. it's not your body and you don't get to decide what she does with it. she's not your fucking sex toy. if she says she's not going to top you then get fucking used to it cause you are not entitled to it
