many beautiful women are mutuals with me on this website
And I don't have the courage to talk to most of them!
Brilliant!
I graduated high school in 99.
There was a student at our school named Wayne.
Wayne was gay. It was obvious. He was unable to stay in the closet even if he wanted to. To make matters worse, he was also Black. From a bullying standpoint, that was not a great combo. Both Black and white students made fun of him relentlessly. He was ostracized from the only community that may have given him protection. Only us theater kids stuck up for him, but not to significant effect.
Wayne was bullied so much that at one point he finally snapped and attacked his bullies with a lunch tray. I was actually seated in perfect line of sight and just sat there chewing my soggy fries in stunned silence. It didn't even seem real as I was witnessing it. The image of him wailing on his main bully as the food on his tray flew off is permanently logged into my long term memory.
The bully he attacked had blood all over his face and went straight to the nurse. Other than superficial cuts, he was not injured.
Before the attack, Wayne went to teachers for help. He went to guidance counselors for help. He went to the principals for help.
He did all of the things you were supposed to do. No one helped him. They wagged a finger at the bullies and warned them to stop.
Wayne's lunch tray melee was the only thing that worked. His bullies stayed far away from him. But a week later Wayne was expelled and the bullies were given no punishment.
So... no.
No one in my school talked about being trans.
Because the only way to survive being openly queer was to bash people with a lunch tray.
“… but you’ll never be able to beat my Servine!
SERVINE: Servine!
ASH: A Servine?
PIKACHU: Pikaa?
SERVINE: Servine.
WHO’S THAT POKEMON?!
———
IT’S SERVINE!
SERVINE: Servine!
SERVINE: Servine.
ASH: That’s Servine, it’s gotta be.”
It's not easy but I'm starting to love me. The longer I'm on hrt the easier it gets. I hated having a masculine body and I'll be dammed if I let society and other outside factors trick me into hating the feminine one too.
No way.
Losing my goddamn fucking mind over how Batman 1966 gave Catwoman a sidekick in one episode and named her Pussycat.
that’s the legendary Jewish lesbian singer Lesley Gore btw, so I have an inkling they knew what they were doing
Guys. Hear me out.
I think I know how to save the DCEU.
Today's song really needs no introduction. If you haven't heard it before, you are in for a treat.
This song (well the entire album really but today's were just talking about this song) literally changed how I view and listen to music. I could write an entire essay on it, but I'll sum things up a bit here.
Kendrick takes the saying "if these walls could talk" and uses it in a different context in each verse to piece together this part of the story that is told throughout the entire album.
Kendrick begins the story talking about vagina walls. He is talking about a girl he has been having sex with when he says "wall telling me they full of pain resentment, need someone to live in them just to relieve tension. Me? I'm just a tenant. Landlord said these walls vacant more than a minute." She has been lonely and seeks validation and support from someone. Unfortunately, kendricks motives mean he is not going to be that someone permanently.
In the second verse, the walls he is referring too are much less literal than the first and last. Here he talks about the walls placed around him (and the entirety of the black community) by society, and in turn the walls that over the years that he has put up in his own mind in order to survive. He says "idk how long I can wait in these walls. I've been on the streets too long, looking at you from the outside in." You can take this line in a few different ways, the first being him outside of the girls house waiting to get with her. It can also be taken as him on the outside of society looking in towards the privileges others enjoy that he was not allowed to. The final way you can take it directly links up to the walls that are being talked about in the 3rd verse.
In this verse he talks about a lot, but begins with the walls of a prison cell. Here he is directly talking to the man that killed a good friend of his. Really just laying into this guy for killing his friend, and getting away with it, only to be caught later that night being involved in another shooting. He goes into how he wishes to get revenge, and in fact has been getting his revenge. He ends the verse with "so when you play this song rewind the first verse. About me abusing by power, so you can hurt. About me and her In the shower whenever she horny, about me and her In the after hours of the morning. About her baby daddy currently serving life, and how she think about you until we meet up at night. About the only girl who cared about you when you asked her, and how she fucking on a famous rapper, walls could talk." The girl he spoke of in the first verse is the baby mom of the man who killed his friend, and kendrick uses his status as a famous rapper to sleep with her strictly for revenge.
I know I said I wouldn't make this too long, I could go literally line by line with this song and tear it apart, but I'll finish it here. "These Walls" truly is a masterclass in song writing, and it will be keeping its place in the discussion of my favorite song of all time.
If you're a trans girl who likes trans girls, please reblog this <3
A non-binary robot with if/then pronouns. Is this anything
An actually clever writer could do something with this. Not me, I'm bad at writing fiction and I feel like a hack always, but boy howdy. Someone with real talent should do the thing.
