OFMD tumblr..... r we seeing this...

Just post drift Kaiju bros things

I think it really does speak for just how deeply there is something wrong with the online queer community that trans guys & mascs reaching out genuinely to say "we're dealing with a lot of issues that have gone completely undiscussed and it's bad enough that some of these things are killing us, and none of you even know they're happening" results in such a vitriolic response that there's been targeted harassment at every major blogger who's talked about it. like that's the immediate honest response to a plea for pain and suffering to be heard. what the hell.

as someone who doesn't know what's going on, please inform me.

Trans men and transmasc people face unique forms of oppression and transphobia. The way our masculinity intersects with our birth sex and our transness means we face unique challenges and unique forms of hate.

We wanted to discuss the challenges we face, so over the past few years we have tried to come up with a word to describe the unique form of transphobia we deal with.

But one of the issues we deal with includes invisibility, so when we say we face issues, no one believes us and thinks we're making it all up. If they can't see the trauma, it doesn't exist. So a lot of people think the only things trans men face are "mean words", when there is in fact systemic violence exacted against us. We are denied housing and employment. We suffer medical neglect. We are assaulted, raped, and murdered. But it doesn't make it into the news as "trans man assaulted" because they frequently misgender us as women.

Another issue many of face is the fact that we are trans men or masculine-aligned, and the patriarchal society we live in doesn't believe men can suffer. The patriarchy itself believes this - "boys don't cry" - but a lot of people who don't necessarily support the patriarchy, including feminists, have very little empathy for men and masc-aligned folks too. There's a lack of understanding how the intersection of identity is involved here. Trans men and transmascs do not have "male privilege". We are not cis men. Many of us are not men at all. Obviously transphobes don't consider us to be men, but even when other queer people do, they erroneously believe we obtain cis male privilege, and therefore think we deserve to be treated like shit.

Then there's the misogyny and bioessentialism. Many of us were assigned female at birth, so misogyny affects us even when we are trans men/masc. All the same stereotypes about women get laid on us in addition to the worst stereotypes about men. We are infantilized as all afab people are infantilized: we are told we are less intelligent, less capable of making our own decisions, and transphobes tell us we need "protection" from the trans "cult". Trans people who hate us call us additionally say we are hysterical, whiny, and manipulative. Constant dehumanization, bioessentialism, identity erasure and degradation is a common trend, as they will refer to us as nothing more than "afabs" (erasing and compressing all our trans identities into nothing more than our birth sex) when really, at the end of the day, they mean "stupid girls". It's misogyny, even if it's coming from a trans person. Their obsession with reducing us to our birth sex and insulting us based on that is misogyny and bioessentialism.

Racism also comes into play. White patriarchy of course wants to preserve the fertility and femininity of little white girls. But trans people who hate trans men can also be racist, in that they deny the existence of trans men/mascs of color in the movement, and try to paint us as all just "whiny white afabs who don't understand real oppression". You'll see this all the time when they claim that "all transandrophobia truthers are white afabs".

These are some of the major categories of problems trans men and transmascs face. There's overlap between the experiences of trans women/femmes, as well as the experiences of other trans folks, and even cis women, but some of these issues are unique to trans men/mascs.

So we developed a word to describe what we're dealing with. But, because of the literal aspects of our oppression described above, we are called "truthers", whiners, "stupid afabs who just want to be oppressed" and "transmisogynists who want to steal from trans women".

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

What if someone created an AI that was educated purely from everything on Tumblr?

.

there is @nostalgebraist-autoresponder, she is based on GPT-J and learnt more from reading her notes, aswell as trying to iminate her creators blog

yeah this is how i work

Yes but we are all so nice to you Frank, you're not getting the full experience. Please, tell me your opinion on Steven universe so I'll send you a death threat over it

I don't know who that is but I love death threats

Okay, "AI can pass the Turing Test but only on Tumblr" was not on my 2023 bingo card

idk if cis women are aware of this but u can actually talk abt how difficult it is to be a woman living under patriarchy without wildly misrepresenting the experiences of men living under the patriarchy. i’m watching a comedy special where a thin white woman just said that men aren’t affected by weight gain and i would like to know on what planet being a man protects you from the disgusting and deadly culture of fatphobia we’ve cultivated. i would like to know on what fucking planet a thin white woman is more affected by gaining an inch around her waist than a fat man having to deal with being dismissed by doctors, passed over for jobs, and treated horrendously by fellow human beings. like. trust me, i lived as a woman for almost three decades and still am seen as a woman, i understand the urge to vent about the patriarchy. but you can so easily do that without completely ignoring intersectionality or speaking on experiences you don’t understand or quite frankly don’t care about.

decided to rewatch psych, so here’s a quick sketch of the boys

@starlight-storytime this is for you because holy shit I am so fucking down to make half and half and half and half a thing, the name is just so funny and you make such good points. Danny floating into the kiss because he’s too short is just MWAH. Something I didn’t know I needed until you pointed it out.

They’re plotting Endeavors murder ofc 😌

BNHA x DP crossover

Why do I feel like in every BNHA/DP crossover fic that I’ve read no one seems to be inclined to give Danny a believable cover story for his powers, when a really easy one popped into my head the first time I ever thought of it.

Quirk: Archetypal Ghost

This Quirk gives the individual the potential to develop any ability that is/was correlated to Ghosts in mythology, folklore, and pop culture (with in the human collective conscious).

Why can Danny produce ice? Because ghosts cause cold spots everyone knows that. Why can Danny affect radio waves and cause tech to glitch out? Because ghosts can affect radio waves and cause tech to glitch out. Why can Danny be invisible, intangible, and fly? Because ghosts do those things.

And just on and on for every single one of his powers.

There’s not a single one of of his innumerable abilities that doesn’t fall under the category of “It happened at one point in mythology/folklore/pop culture and has since been adopted as a Ghost thing by the collective conscious”.

Even his more unique and obscure powers like Ghostly Wail, Dream Walking, and Entering forms of media, fall under this explanation. Because Banshees, the idea of spirits of the dead communicating via dream, and the movie The Ring, are all ideas that have existed for more than 200 years by the time BNHA starts, and are firmly entrenched in the collective conscious by the time the story starts.

So yeah, don’t know if writers are intentionally going with “Danny doesn’t know how to explain how all of his many superpowers are just one highly versatile super power (even though the boy is the most generic ghost to ever ghost when it comes to powers)” on purpose. Or if they just don’t want to come up with a proper Quirk name and description for Danny’s halfa status.

Keep reading

im so glad someone else’s has thought about his powers like that! like, i enjoy all the crossovers that exist already dont get me wrong & as a writer i totally get the impulse to create weaknesses in danny’s frankly op power set by limiting him to only using 1-2 powers or by having him be affected by aizawa’s quirk & making him look suspicious by hiding his powers (or by unexplainably having multiple) definitely creates Drama™️… but i have always wondered why no one else has thought to have him just say his quirk is literally being a fucking ghost??

i hadn’t thought about a reincarnation au before though! (which is giving me a lotta Thoughts ngl). ive seen a lot of them with DP x DC fics but i cant remember any for BNHA crossovers…

What’s your ao3? I’m just getting into this and it sounds like I’d enjoy you’re writing!

(If you were talking to op, feel free to ignore this lol)

My Ao3 handle is Shunters (linked here). I haven’t posted any DP x MHA yet as I’m taking my time to nail down the plot, but I’ve got a DP x DC wip & fics from a few other fandoms posted if your interested

Text: PSA to anyone with a tree nut allergy who frequents starbucks. We have a new drink called the pistachio cold foam cold brew and our pistachio sauce not only has real pistachio in it, the syrup sticks inside the blender and will 100% not fully wash off with the rinsers we use (its just water). I highly suggest if you want a cold foam drink during Jan-March you request it done in a sanitized blender to lower the chance of having a reaction if you are at risk.

Some baristas are also suggesting holding off on frapps as well (reddit thread)

Also highlighting one comment:

i need a shirt that says "DIVORCED BISEXUAL DAD" and i need to wear it to family gatherings without warning or explanation

Heyo DP (and possibly BNHA?) fandom! I’m trying my hand at writing fanfic for the first time in uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh six years? I don’t know if this will go anywhere at all and want to keep it super low pressure to try and trick my brain into liking writing for a bit longer, so pls don’t ask for more (…yet. We’ll see if this turns into something). Anyways, here’s a snippet of a dp x bnha au that’s been beleaguering my brain for the past week. Enjoy!

Morals Hurt AU

The last thing Danny remembered was hurtling through the ghost zone and towards a small-ish purple door. 

The first thing he noticed was the smell of blood and day-old chicken pot pie. Ew - he thought - he also felt it, soaking into through his left shoe. It wasn’t even comparable to ecto-contaminated sausages, but the forceful and unpleasant odor did well to wake him up fully. He categorized his surroundings:

Taste: Rotting trash, someone’s old moth-bitten sweaters, possibly weeks-old chicken pot-pie.

Touch: Left shoe: bent underneath him in a perfect baseball slide, but almost fully soaked in pot pie (now mentally placed at nearly two-years-old. Chicken and deliciousness should never get to this point of putrid.)

Body: Ragdolled on top of a dumpster two times his width (but comically, half his length. His other foot (with the shoe half off) had marked the end of his cramped leg by sticking out like the little red flag on a mailbox would.) 

Sight: Gray sky, towering concrete on either side and probably behind as well. An alleyway, at best guess. A once-green dumpster, now streaked with grime and– 

Blood. Ectoplasm. 

And then sound burst in - the final sense (other than his ghost ones.) He hadn’t noticed before, but Danny’s introspection had taken place in the vacuum of just-got-the-shit-kicked-out-of-me silence. It ended with a swoosh, and then sirens, helicopters, and honking horns (oh my!) blared loudly, with no concern for his building headache and, he sniffed to check, his probably broken nose. 

“Gh!” He exclaimed, jerking a bit as he eloquently finished assessing the situation. He touched his nose with one hand and then with both as he hissed out a quiet “ouch ouch ouch motherfranker.”

Well.

His nose was definitely broken. And with each movement, he was folding further into the dumpster (any more and he’d actually fit, god help him), and the freaking chicken pot pie had splorged to cover his entire left leg and butt. 

What a great welcome to this new world. 

He would be terrifying in the bnha universe with how many powers he has and paired with the experience of fighting enemies that can go intangible and being able to be intangible himself, unstoppable. I am so close to writing a fic

I wanted to make my own vigilante AU with these 4.

I always loved seeing people’s vigilante designs and just wanted to draw them in some casual vigilante clothing. Just some stuff you can get at a sport center. I imagine they change their hairstyles and wear masks when they go out and their weapons aren’t anything too fancy. Fights quirkless as to not give away who they are. Probably get into some mischief as they troll the heroes and cops.

sometimes u just gotta stand in the shower
