men have to be feminine or wear skirts and lipstick to have worth.

*do not

Men can be masculine too and it doesn’t detract from their worth!

yes it so completely does

#I do find femininity more attractive than masculinity #Just my subjective opinion tho #Men can dress how they want

As an unattached twenty-something person who is trying to figure themselves and the world out, the song Feel by Robbie Williams actually hits quite deep.

“That was one of the first questions I asked her when we sat down: 'Did you always know that [Prim] was going to die?' And she said, 'Oh yeah, of course, that's the whole point.'” (x)

#It served the narrative

People on twitter are always like 'there's still people on tumblr?'... As if Twitter wasn't full of stolen text posts, gifs and art originally posted here

They think that they’re doing an archeological dig but really they’re just walking into our houses picking up random stuff and saying “Wow, what a beautiful post! Shame that the people who made it died a long time ago :(((” While we stare at them from our dinner tables

@transgirl-link this was too fuckin funny to leave in the notes

I'm pretty dubious that TGCF vol 4 really will be released on 20th Sept. Which is fine obviously because things take as long as they take, but if it is gonna be delayed I hope they tell us soon bc I'm getting excited to see what emotional trauma is about to occur 🥺😅

Since I’m not tuned in to the tgcf fandom, idk if this has been discussed before, but I really love the convo on gender fluidity that happens with the gods, particularly through Ling Wen and Shi Qingxuan.

For starters, the story establishes that even though the gods are real people who had real mortal lives, sometimes their followers just… refuse to accept the reality of those lives and the gods they choose to follow. So you have Ling Wen ascending as a civil god whose followers rewrote the facts of her life to appeal to people who rejected her because “WoMeN cAn’T bE CiVil GoDs” and Shi Qingxuan who is usually paired in his mythology with his brother, but worshipping two men together is “weird,” so he’s worshipped as a goddess (and sometimes lover) to his brother’s male god to “even it out.” And because both of them are more popularly worshipped in the gender they weren’t assigned at birth, they’re actually more powerful in their alternative gender forms (assigned gender at ascension, lol).

Now both of them could choose to be bitter about this, but neither are. At most, Ling Wen is mildly annoyed because her followers refusing to accept her as a woman also goes into how ill-treated she was when she first arrived to the heavens because she is a woman, but at best, she’s neutral to having to switch genders and has no issues utilizing her more powerful male form when she needs to access that power or authority (when appearing to her followers in their dreams).

Shi Qingxuan, however, is a little more complicated. We can start by saying that he 100% loves being able to switch between forms in a way that the other gods (that don’t matter), including his brother, find strange at best and disdainful at worst. He seems to spend a considerable amount of time in his female form, not even just to access additional power like Ling Wen utilizes hers but purely because he enjoys it! Then, we learn that actually, he was raised disguised as a girl for much of his childhood to hide him from the reverend of empty words. However, unlike how other stories usually portray this—cis child is raised as gender they were not assigned at birth, child “always knew something was wrong,” child discovers their real/cis gender, child lives as their real gender in adulthood and looks upon their childhood with disdain/sadness/trauma—tgcf doesn’t treat the gender disguise as a cis person’s horror story. Shi Qingxuan isn’t traumatized for being a “boy forced to pretend to be a girl” because he loves being a boy and a girl, and being a god gives him the power to do so at his own discretion.

It’s just really refreshing to read a story that opens these gender discussions without making it about cis people’s fear that someone will “force” them to be trans.
