Oh I have a question for tac (wonderful name), since he has been freshly added to the roster >:)))

Do you have to be careful of your sharp teeth and having particularly violent or aggressive SH tics? Like do you find yourself hurting yourself on them sometimes or do you not worry about it?

Very curious 👀

Tac: Uh.. heh.. (He looks down at his scarred and chipped hands and forearms. A good few of the scars being caused by tics that grazed his teeth, or even involved his teeth. A few bitemarks here and there.) Yeah, sometimes. 'S no big deal tho. (He shrugs and waves a hand dismissively.)

and are you really okay? are you really okay?

My'eah, some Sonic stuff I drew, playing with a different style!

Today on "Another JeanMarco Soulmate AU absolutely no one asked for" I present to you -

Soulmate AU in which you stop seeing colors when your soulmate dies, the only exception being your soulmate. Now cue to Jean who just found Marco's, his best friend's, body. And you know, there's the shock of finding out Marco's dead. The pain and confusion and guilt. But there's also the revelation, because despite everything he can still see Marco like nothing took place at all- yes, half of his face is missing and his body is straight up lifeless, but Jean can still make out the color of his eye ; see that light shade of brown perfectly, remember all the times he has found himself looking at them while listening to Marco talk. He can still make out the colors of his uniform, see the same shade of black his hair has always had, practically see. Despite being dead, Marco was the only piece of color left in his life.

And there's denial for a moment because there's no way Marco was his soulmate. But that goes away fast, getting replaced by guilt. By the fact that he hasn't been there to save him, that Marco has to die all alone without anyone being there for him.

And that was worse than the simple fact that he could no longer see colors ; because Marco was there when Jean needed him, but he failed to do the same. And not only he lost his best friend that day, but his other half too.

Rey made him that mug. 

I am having muu thoughts

omg human archimedes no friggin way

oh god okay i understand that maybe not everyone is as indecisive/comfortable with saying "it depends!" as me, but like, i'm sorry, i'm sorry, but i just can't take people who call izzy a villain seriously

ok ignoring the cgi that's involved in hotd being reason for why aemond's in an eyepatch constantly . i also am going to be very mad if we don't get like a few scenes w him and his sapphire bc it just doesn't make sense for him to always be wearing the eyepatch. he is scarred for life and it is now his trophy for life, he makes it into a symbol, something he's frozen in time forever by instilling the sapphire within it. corny but like it's where he pulls his strength from. people look at it and its a reminder of his resilience.

Just my semi-anual tourettes boys simping. Hope you're all well. :) I have more questions!!! I saw your post about snaps with cats. Needless to say I am absolutely in love with him. That reminds me though, what are tic tac and tous hobbies? How do they feel about cats? Hope you're having a wonderful day Alex <3

(Que me making googly eyes at tac specifically)

:'> ty. am having a good day. hope u r too <333

am glad u like Snaps sm :3

i did talk a lil about this one time, but that was a while ago, so i will again. with more detail, and Tou this time ofc.

Tic loves music. He got into the hobby of mixing stuff with his buddy Napstablook, and eventually started doing it on his own as well. Him and Blooks would be a killer DJing duo on stage, but he's not interested in that. Most he might do is live streams. maybe. He's also great with a keyboard piano.

Tac got into welding, and the like, when he watched his Grillby weld together his necklace for him. He might get into glassblowing, maybe as a job, once on the surface. He also likes to cook (and bake, but you didn't hear that from me). He def has a "kiss the cook" apron.

Tou ironically went to a wine tasting one time, but he actually enjoyed himself. The people were pretty nice, and the wine was good, so he kept going. He loves physical activities. He'll get into pretty much any sport, but he actively runs and works out, and he loves volleyball. Him and his brother play basketball sometimes too. He also carves little figures sometimes, as a more relaxing at home hobby. His first was of his brother. It's not very good, at least in his eyes, but his bro holds it very dear, and keeps it, along with his other figures (most from his brother) on a shelf in his room. (He'll carve with his left hand at times when his right is sore from tics. He is actually pretty good with his left at this point, but still better with his right.)

random CLTCL thought

Two facts:

1. Killer loves musicals

2. Killer is popular on TikTok and so, probably plays to some more TikTok-popular songs at some point.

This means that:

3. It’s very likely Killer wore a corset at one time.

im feeling drunk.im feeling neutral. i had fun today but o don't know if tomorrow i wont get a friend from my friend about how rude i behaved, i genuinely cant judge 8t

tumblr ➡/sociopolo/706709430153183232/ do you disagree or agree with this?? What do you particularky envision when you think of the term "gender abolition"?

So, I have only just recently realized that this is still in my inbox and it has been in my inbox since March lol. I remember reading this post when I originally received it and tucked it away for me to tackle later. I’ve reviewed it multiple times since realizing I never got to it and I’ll be totally honest, I’m still not sure exactly which part of this post I’m supposed to be agreeing or disagreeing with. Not sure it’s even worth responding to at all now at this point—but I will always choose to finish something embarrassingly late than to leave it hanging, so here are just some general comments on the bulk of this post:

knightingael:

I don’t think most gender enthusiasts find [gender abolition] all that attractive. [...] Speaking in general, they view aesthetic preferences (i.e. gender) to be THE central aspect of a person’s identity, and it’s very important to them that they be able to immediately communicate that to everyone they meet.

[...]

The idea of abolishing gender is terrifying to them, because without it, how would they communicate who they are? [...] Gender is a tool they use to define and communicate their identity, and without it, they would be at a loss both to connect with other people and feel in control in social contexts. What sounds like a utopia to us is an unnavigable social nightmare to them.

sociopolo:

if gender was abolished actually absolutely nothing would happen to these people because this is just a fashion style. it’s not like clothing is gonna disappear, they’re still gonna be able to dress how they want and project whatever image they want, it’s just not gonna be called their gender, but their style, which is what it is anyway

HOW can they not understand and genuinely believe in this gender thing

#also style is not inherently tied to gender

#ALSO style doesn't help you connect with people actually wtf

Style is not inherently tied to gender, that much is true. However, most people—both trans and not—do, indeed, believe this is so, even if only subconsciously. We, as a society, correlate style to gender, which reinforces the idea—to transgender people, to gender traditionalists, and even to the average layperson who doesn’t care about this topic—that gender is a viable concept that can be (and is) observed through means of appearance.

This isn’t about what is, objectively, but what is believed, collectively, the implications of those beliefs and what were to happen if those beliefs were to be challenged. The belief is, “Gender can be expressed through”—(in this case)—“one’s clothing and physical appearance.” The threat to this belief is gender abolition. It is a threat because, in a world without gender, clothing and appearance say nothing about your role in society. I don’t agree that either of these things are the “central aspect” to a person’s identity with or without gender—but they are the central aspect in emulating the gender or sex we wish to appear as. Consider that one of the first steps in most transgender people’s social transition is “crossdressing,” or dressing in the clothing stereotypical of the opposite sex. If we do not have those gendered expectations, roles, and stereotypes to conform to, how do we “pass,” prior to (or without) medical transition? We don’t. Because we can’t.

You may still reiterate that “Nothing would happen to these people because this is just a fashion style.” And it would be considered “just a fashion style” by the general public in a gender-abolished society—but as I reiterated in the first paragraph, this is not the society we live in now. Moreover, change is not black-and-white and gender abolition is a process, both aspects that I actually find are often missing in these discussions. The core reason why the vast majority of transgender people are transgender in the first place is dysphoria and gender abolition will not necessarily correlate to the eradication of the condition. Understand this means that, in a timeline where gender is being actively abolished, dysphoric youth—who may or may not have the ability to get the personal support or professional help that they need—will be watching (what they believe to be) their only solution to their emotional turmoil… vanish. The process of gender abolition quite literally ends in an entire subset of people becoming a mere part of history. I don’t think a lot of people have truly considered how significant that is and I feel that the empathy extended towards those of us who would be most affected by this change—transgender and dysphoric people—is frequently lacking, if ever there at all. In no world could this be a “nothing” change, whether you are a city-living liberal with neopronouns and green hair or some hick in the middle of nowhere who has never even heard the word “trans” to refer to a subset of people in his life.

Transgender people, as we know them today, effectively cease to exist alongside gender abolition, and even “surface level” changes such as ridding gendered stereotypes for style of dress, essentially a means to an end. It should therefore not be so difficult to see why so many transgender people are opposed to it.

If I have misunderstood anything in this post or my response reads as a garbled mess, please chalk it up to my residual COVID brain.
