don’t make a promise you can’t keep

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

I’m so conflicted about how I feel about Michael Sullivan. On the one hand, of course the Captain would need some form of meaningful companionship, on the other hand, is it meaningful if it’s not with Chakotay with a hologram? We know she’s blocked herself from making further edits (although she’s already tailored him to her specifications) so in a way it’s no different to interacting with a person (or the Doctor) such that it can have all the ups and downs of everyday interactions. Maybe my issue is that it comes across as a hobby / distraction, so my issue is with her calling him her “boyfriend”, because he won’t be able to understand and partake in her life in the same way that she (I think) would ideally need her partner to in order to be truly emotionally fulfilled. Then again is she calling him her boyfriend in a totally tongue in cheek way? It’s fun to see Janeway let her hair down anyway.

yk janeway and chakotay truly make me insane bc whilst chakotay is finding a new sense of purpose and inner peace and working thru his trauma and anger that he's been haunted by literally his whole life, janeway is slowly but surely feeling her identity being chipped away as she grapples with upholding her ideals and morals in the face of the reality of voyager's situation as well as trying to retain who she is outside of her captaincy even as she clings to it as the last vestige of protection against the sheer weight of her duty of care and the responsibility of 150 lives that she holds. and also they want to make out constantly. absolutely insane command duo.

no other media does relationships like sam and jack bc theyre just painfully yearning for each other for like 10 years and the resulting chemistry and tension is a billion times better than conventional hetero romance and will legitimately drive you crazy

i recommend harm and mac from jag. also janeway and chakotay from star trek voyager.

It's Matteo JWHJ0715!!!!! Very talented director (italian mother, license plate father)

I know i yapp about it a lot, but i will forever yearn to know more about the sam x jack relationship from There But For The Grace Of God

I have to believe somebody has written about them.

“It’s photoshopped” honestly in the age of AI that has a homey sort of nostalgia to it. Remember when people used to put effort into faking things?

photoshop fakers are like the villain with moral standards now
