c!techno’s silliest soldier

"He forced himself to look in the mirror.

A simmering rage boiled in his belly. He was furious. Furious at his father for taking him to that training ground, furious at himself for staying too long in the spring of the drowned girl, furious at the world for just moving on around him like nothing had happened.

Various reinterpretations of c!Dream from the DreamSMP

agab is something that happened to you, not something you are. and frankly, it’s not generally useful even in a medical context. there isn’t really any context in which agab is more useful than just saying “has a uterus” or “has a penis”

white women who have lizzo blocked on twitter: I'm SOBBINHG. the METAPHORS. did she know she would define a generation with this? 😭😭😭

gayboys who own every switch pokemon game: agsshdjdkdakh no okay but why is this better than everything on the radio for the past ten years 😭 THIS ICONNNNN. EVERYBODY SHUT UP I'M IN MY FLUSHING ERA 📢📢

asian giant hornet in a japanese honeybee nest:

i'm looking at this again and it's so striking to me how it just makes the story, *worse*

it's a nickname, just a silly little thing we're calling frankie for funsies! you know the best context to establish this? when her abusive guardian figure is threatening her with violence! Gruff Abusive Father McToothRipper (voiced by a trans woman by the way) is just a goofy little guy playing into this goofy little quirk!

i'm forced to conclude that this show isn't written as well as i thought! taking dana at her word here this is just, silly, tonally dissonant, and needlessly confusing!

just, grah, this is so emblematic of the kind of short sighted writing you get when you're not a trans woman and you've never considered for even a moment what it's like to be one. writing an all-but-explicit trans woman, (to the point during my first viewing i genuinely thought there was no question about her transness) and then explicitly making sure that we know she's *actually* cis, that transfemininity doesn't even deserve a token "haha you can interpret it that way if you want!" but a flatout denial.

this is apparently what explicitly writing a character as cis looks like! and you did a bad and thoughtless job of it! i think less of the writing for this (and not *just* because of the passive thoughtless exclusion of transfems that is so painfully common in all tme writing!)

god and of course you get replies like this

thank god she's a *normal* woman who's just buff, the real representation we needed. she's not built for any freaky trans reasons she's just an ACTUAL fem character.

just

grahhh

like i said this is painfully common. basically every single piece of major Queer Animation i can think of has been headlined by tme people, focuses almost entirely on tme people, and only features transfems as an afterthought, in minor roles if at all.
