i love you weird queers. i love you neopronouns. i love you microlabels. i love you labels people deem confusing/contradictory. i love you label hoarders. i love you kinky asexuals. i care you loveless folks. i love you queerplatonic relationships. i love you attractions outside of just romantic and sexual. i love you vastness of the queer experience.
i love you queers who are unabashedly yourself no matter how strange people may find your identity, and embrace deconstructing the norm and supposed rules of identities.
Hi I'm back on this bullshit again :)
Instead of reincarnation, they've been pulled from the end of Mystreet/MID, memories wiped, creating an alternative universe, and because of this:
•Zane and Aaron have the worst memory problems due to being relics
•Aaron has to wear his blindfold again bc he has no control over his Ultima powers, he doesn't know why but he knows that something terrible would happen if he looks at someone
•They all have weird scars. Aphmau has the scar from Ein killing her, and some weirdly placed identical scars on her back.... Ein is literally dead, so he has an autopsy scar, Nana has a scar across her chest from Garroth, Aaron has bruise scars, etc
•Sometimes they remember things wrong, Ein still calls Zane brother sometimes even though he knows in his heart that's wrong
•The daemons have small amounts of magic, it's weak, but can be helpful in the right scenarios
•Unlike other characters who are pulled in for a one-off, Rhys joined late and stayed, leaving people to grapple with the information that anyone could stay, but whoever is controlling them choses not to, what's the significance of Rhys? Why him specifically?
•They're grappling with ptsd and trauma they don't remember. They dont understand their "new" triggers or copes. Why does Zane do X when confronted with conflict? Why does Ein do Y when faced with an emotional situation?
•Ein suffers from forever potions withdrawals and has nerve damage from the repeated use of it
•Aaron also has nerve damage from the severe bruising
•While some characters feel instinctive connections to each other, Aaron doesn't, because at the end of mys, he didn't know any of them anyway
•Ein has some 'interesting' attributes, as he has been brought back to life after his death in mys, he's always cold to the touch, doesn't feel as much pain, has a generally off putting aura, etc
•Kim is also quite similar because of Ghost. Although this also adds additional memories from Emmalynn, it's hard to distinguish what is Kim's and what isn't
•Aphmau sometimes gets phantom limb from her lack of wings
•While Ein and Aphmau aren't related, Ein often remembers wrong and thinks that they are (much like the situation with Zane) because the only fatherly figure he has had in his life is Zach and he gets confused about if it was biological or not
I know that Jess's current videos are cringe and for kids and have so so so many issues, but I personally think that the idea of the smp could be interesting if it was done right so heres my idea:
Much like mystreet, these characters are reincarnated, but this time into a video game and have to play and survive while also getting along and maybe recovering memories? Clearly, Aphmau is still connected to Irene, being gifted all these powers. But they're also being put in situations so often by what? Some higher power? They don't know if their day will be normal or not. They live in anxiety.
They don't know who they are. They have to find new niches and personalities to fill that void. Sometimes, they recognize the other "players" sometimes they don't. Pierce and Noi and Rhys don't know anyone but each other they try to become friends but they can't feel that connection.
Romance is especially difficult. Sometimes, they feel naturally drawn to each other, which is why K.C. and Zane always end up back together. They don't have anything other than that familiarity. Sometimes, they just use romance as a cope. Noi and Kim don't know each other, but they need to fill the holes with new memories . What better than a partner?
Ein's destructive tendencies and most "players" not liking him are remnants of what he did. He can't control the urges, so he acts on them (and maybe then they won't take over like the potion took over everyone else).
Not that any of them know, Zane has theories, and so does Kim, but what good are those if they can't prove it? There's different universes, and they know that. They also know that other "players" can be forced in and out of that world, but who is doing that? Whose in control?
Minecraft itself is already post-apocalyptic, and then Irene throws a bunch of "players" with memory loss into the world for what? Her own enjoyment? Why choose one of her vessels on top of that?
That's my yapping. I'm just full of ideas for the smp cause cocomau is just bad, but I have a deep love for the characters, and I have a feeling Jess is going to continue to add more characters especially from MID.
I'd like to ask for some help from any intersex followers I have (or any intersex folks who come across this post!)
I've been struggling a lot to find proper terminology for intersex issues in my research because Google is all gunked up and Tumblr is just as hard to parse through.
So, if anyone could point me in the direction of any good literature by intersex authors or any good online resources (especially that define terminology) that would be incredibly helpful!! I'm still doing work myself but any sort of direction would be wonderful!
(tl;dr I want to be a better ally to intersex folks in trans feminist conversations about sex/gender and approach my own theory with intersex experiences in mind better! So, any and all resources would be appreciated!)
can y’all just… like or reblog if y’all are polyam-safe blogs
if you are a trans boy, especially a teenage trans boy, i wanted to say that as a trans man in their 30's, you have my deepest respects and condolences for what you may be going through right now.
it has become socially acceptable and basically online custom to bully teenage trans boys & mascs, call them cringy, or excuse misgendering them for whatever reason. people put trans boys on this pedestal of "must perform masculinity and manhood to cartoonish degrees" even though they're still children.
people make trans boys fight for their manhood before they can even be boys. i am sorry people can be so judgmental and harsh on you. you are not wrong for wanting to be a boy. you are experiencing something wonderful. it's okay if you still want to be a boy even if people have treated you poorly, or tried to make you feel bad for being a boy. there is nothing wrong with being a boy.
it's okay if you never socially transition. it's okay if you're afraid to come out because it's not safe. it's okay if you never change your outward appearance. it's okay if you try very hard to pass but struggle to. it's okay if you wear "women's" clothing and shoes, bras, makeup, etc., it's okay if you're gay and love other men. it's okay if you're scared of hrt. it's okay if you don't want surgery. it's okay if you mainly occupy girl's spaces still. people will find every reason to pick these things apart and ridicule trans boys for, but they are all perfectly fine experiences that do not make you any less of a boy. you are the one who is in control of your transition, presentation, and state of being- you should be able to prioritize your safety over the comfort of random strangers who have no impact over how you live your life.
i've been put through this too, but later in life as i came out when i was an adult. people still try to make me feel bad for identifying as a trans man, for whatever reason they have in their head to justify hatred of a trans person. i've had enough. there will never be an excuse for how people try to excuse the infantilization and abuse that trans men and trans boys face.
take care of yourselves, no matter what age you are, if you are a trans boy, man, or masc you deserve to know that other trans men care about you, especially when people are scrambling to find ways to punch down on you. there are people who suck, but there are also a lot of people who care about you. keep your chin up. you know who you are
do your ever get excited to see certain mutuals in your notes like yes i pleased the Friend
A trans man coming out as a man is never a loss.
I don’t care if he went into a male-dominated field. All fields are cis dominated.
I don’t care if he’s a straight man now. He should be allowed to be himself and happy. He does not owe it to you to be a miserable lesbian for your comfort.
I don’t care if you thought he was hotter before. His happiness is worth the price of your desire. Also you’re wrong and I’m giving him my number.
More trans men is a good thing. More trans men means more closeted trans men are feeling safe to come out. That’s a good thing.
We Stan David Tennent.
Tennent called transgender critics "a tiny bunch of little whining f*ckers who are on the wrong side of history, and they'll all go away soon."
