Me mostly: I draw Surge too much, I need to practice other characters
Me when I look through my art tag: I need to draw Surge more, these I've seen too often

If you make a transfem feel bad about getting bottom surgery you can go fuck yourself and die. If all you like us for are our penises then you are no better than a cishet chaser.
My biggest doubt that i have with getting bottom surgery comes from the queer community (& a few trans men, yay) telling me i will lose everything about me that is desirable. It's so utterly fucked. I don't see any depictions or talk about neovaginas in the queer & trans community. I know one (!) tumblr blog who writes smut about it. Fuckin' nothing else. No casual talk about neovaginas, no thirsting over them like y'all thirst over girldick. It makes me feel like i'll just be an inferior kind of woman with nothing "interesting".
When it should be the opposite! This is one of the most gender affirming things i will ever do.

Whenever I see adaptations of novels, comics, and games that elevate the source material, I get deeply and monstrously bitter. Wheel of Time, Foundation, Percy Jackson, The Boys, Outlander, Big Little Lies, Pachinko, Sharp Objects, WATCHMEN!!! All are so good, so beautifully written and moving that when you stack shit like Game of Thrones beside them, it falls flat on its face.
I still think about Jon telling Angela that he is in every moment they spent together all at once. Every time I think about Watchmen S01E9, my throat gets tight and my mouth wobbles. A triumph of storytelling. When you compare this with the disappointment that is Game of Thrones, it becomes clear that being mediocre, white, and a man often leads to success even when you fail.
I get angry because it’s possible to take novels/comics with so many moving parts and rich history, update them for our time and make the rich source material even richer. Those men just didn’t know how.
And before anyone says the first three seasons are good. Are they? Are they really? Or are we just blinded by the perceived faithfulness to GRRM’s work when we weigh it against the utter shit show that was the last season? The show lifts all the best parts wholesale from the books and magnifies all the worst parts.
They portrayed the Dothraki with a lack of care compared to the Free Folk. They furthered the lack of non-white perspectives by erasing what little we had. Presenting freedom as if it is worse than chattel slavery. The extinction of the Dothraki in service of white Northerners who were less than welcoming.
The show does not name more than half of Daenerys' more prominent Dothraki characters on screen. Killing Irri, Jhiqui and Doreah to further isolate Daenerys. Transferring all the better traits from women to the men in their lives. Turning Jorah from an old paedophilic creep into whatever the fuck that was on the show. Alluding to the “first they came” poem for rapists, slavers and other monsters. Peddling the gentle slave-owner myth as if owning a person is not inherently violent.
Having Missandei be beheaded in chains to fuel madness for literally no reason. Cersei could’ve bargained for her life or at least some concession from Daenerys with Missandei’s life, but they have her behead Missandei for no other reason than to piss off a woman with a large army and an even larger dragon. It made little sense then, and it makes even less sense now.
I know it’s a bit much to still be so affected by that dumpster fire almost a decade in, but I saw that interview with those idiots yesterday, and I have been furious ever since.

tfw you more or less agree with someone's sentiment but their fundamental understanding of the topic is so flawed that they make you and everyone who shares their opinion look like uninformed yahoos
