One thing that a lot of transmasc people struggle with before they fully realize they’re trans is the question of “do I hate being treated like a woman because women are treated like shit, or do I hate being treated like a woman because I’m not a woman?”

and one method (though not entirely foolproof) to figuring that out is asking “would I be upset if another girl was treated like this?”

like, I’d be just as mad if some dude said “you can’t do math because you’re a girl” to a female classmate as I would if he said it to me

however, I never got uncomfortable at waiters calling my female friends “m'am”, I was only uncomfortable when they called *me* that

and obviously everyone’s feelings are different and there’s tons of variables at play, but if you find that there’s a lot of the second scenario going on with you, there’s a good chance you’re not entirely cis

One under-appreciated breed of fic writer are the ones who hyperfocus on logistics to the exclusion of all canon shortcuts, and thus usually strike upon an awesome way to flesh out the worldbuilding or characters.

Like, I’m not necessarily talking realism here since often it’s still pretty far from realistic, but more like, “someone has to be running spies in this fantasy kingdom, and we’ve seen the whole royal court, so which background character is it? How does that change these three major interactions?” Or “real life historical nobility did in fact have some things to do that were like jobs, how does this human disaster cope with running an estate?” Or “there’s no reason for a sci-fi robot detective to know how to whitewater kayak, where’d she learn?” Or “if this guy is serving the emperor directly he has to be way high up in the space empire servant hierarchy, why is he doing this menial task for someone else? What’s his motive? Does he perhaps have the secret space telepathy?”

Anyway I’m always DELIGHTED to find a fic or writer who asks these questions because the fics themselves are universally bangers.

person who knows how logistical things works has picked up the cannon, hefted it thoughtfully, and put a single chalk mark precisely on the problem.

My soup from the other day might have ended up fucked but the bread I just made came out great! Fingers crossed the cheesecake and the shepards pie also come out fine.

"But I stay silly :3" has done irreparable damage/good to my brain . i say it to get thru the day everyday . Work is hell but i stay silly . Lifes falling apart but i stay silly . :3

[ID: A Trigun comic, the first part colored and the second in grayscale. Vash hugs himself with a pained grimace, distressed lines emanating from him. Wolfwood presses a hand to himself with an affected expression and a halo radiating around him, and he says, "Sorry you're having a bad day, you can touch my tits if you want." Vash looks at him with teary gratefulness. End ID]

what love means for the Humanoid Typhoon.

this came to me in a dream, I had to draw it out. Trimax keeps haunting me; if you've not read it yet i highly recommend it 😭

i couldn't resist the call of both Stampede and Maximum's designs so i mixed them a little :)

EDIT: THANK YOU @princess-of-purple-prose for the ID tags!!!

[ID: A Trigun Stampede comic with some design elements from the Trigun manga.

  • First, Rem hugs young Vash and Knives, who both smile at her. They're captioned "Love is... family and safety in a mother's hug. But also--"
  • Next, Vash and Wolfwood fight together, Vash looking strained with effort and some black feathers emerging while Wolfwood grins. "Being in sync, a deep trust in having each other's backs in battle."
  • Vash wraps his torso with a sad expression. "It isn't always reciprocated, but it is also a love for humanity, despite the deep scars it leaves."
  • Vash smiling as he eats a donut. "Sometimes it is in a donut."
  • Vash cooks stir fry with a somber expression and almost fully black hair while Livio looks at him with shame from the dining table. "Sometimes it's feeding a brother in the wake of shared grief."
  • Vash and Meryl kiss their knuckles, smiling at each other as Meryl cries. "To be just a little selfish. Promising your future to another, to return home. To ask for them: 'Please wait for me.'"
  • Vash and Knives supporting each other post-final battle, their single wings spreading out together. "It is also sparing your brother, despite. It is in saving each other." End ID]

Anonymous asked:

was thinking about it this morning and hmm i just wanted to know what your favourite things about them (mashwood) are to draw and/or what is the hardest, do you have anything you love about them but find difficult to draw? stuff like that

I won’t say that I have any difficulties, but it’s very hard to get into my own headcanons for appearance without using a 3D models, so i draw kinda slow

Ugh, went to put away the soup I made after it cooled, and it’s got like…a layer of foam and bubbles on it? And now it smells weird? Dad says it’s probably spoiled but like…I JUST made that last night. It wasn’t even out for more then 8 hours. Also, the one portion I put in the fridge, while still having bubbles/foam now smells fine????? Wtf is going on.

Smell changed to something really foul and vinegar. We ended up tossing it all into water outback...The smell from the containers they were in were so bad I thought I was going to be sick while I was scrubbing them out.

I have no idea what the fuck happened. I’ve made this soup multiple times and it always came out delicious with no issue. My dad thinks it’s because I use bone broth instead of normal and adult bok choy instead of my usual baby bok choy. I think it’s also cause I accidentally boiled it for a minute at one point. God, I’m so mad. That was a doubled recipe, intended to be frozen so I could eat it over the course of the month...

yeah no offense to confucius or anything but if i was about to embark on a journey of revenge i would simply not dig two graves

jesus christ, getting laid in your enemy's grave? that's some freak shit but honestly i kinda dig it

well yeah you dig it thats how you make a grave

A feel like this is a conversation between  Shakespeare's clowns, and I love that.

if you're laid in the same grave as your enemy it makes it easier to kiss
