Q. Whats allowed? A. Anything! Art, writing, graphics, deranged thoughts, character analysis, as long as its centered around Cid and how much you love him, I'll reblog it!

Q. Do I have to follow the themes? A. Nope! They're just there to add a little extra cohesion + challenge for those who want it.

Q. Is there a limit on ship content? A. Nope! I'll reblog any ship content with appropriate tags. (ex. Valenwind will also have the tags for Vincent Valentine and CidVin) if there isn't a predetermined ship name, I'll do my best and stay consistent with that tag.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR tQoN! And SO afraid too, the waiting is killing me!

Mod Jude here— I started this blog a couple months ago with the intent to create a community for transmasculine butches; as time has progressed, though, the community that has built itself around this tumblr has not ended up being what I had in mind. Rather than feeling empowered, I feel I and the transmasculine butch community has been used as a pawn whose voices and perspectives are overlooked. 

My contributions to this blog has been valued by some, yes, and I am eternally grateful for the friendships and connections I’ve made both on this tumblr and the discord, but I feel like being a mod on this blog—especially being the initial creator—is a misrepresentation of what I believe. Who I am is incompatible with the reputation of this blog and I am extremely uncomfortable with what other people have decided this community means. 

If I thought I could fix it, I wouldn’t leave, because I think this digital community needs to exist to help mitigate shame, fear, and loneliness in people like me, but I do not believe there is a change I am able to make that would make this blog a fairer representation of me and the company I keep.
