idk guys i have 5 transfem friends irl and all of them wholeheartedly believe transadrophobia is real… maybe it’s because they aren’t in anti-transmasculinity rad fem echo chambers… maybe it’s because they actually are friends with multiple transmasc irl and see their struggles… guess we’ll never know though…

scientists are still scrambling to figure out what “zigazig ahh” is so that they can give the spice girls what they really really want

the spice girls are getting impatient

war is upon us

growing up with a psychologist for a mother was so funny because my sister and i would be like “mo-om why do we have to go to bed now” and she would respond with a long explanation of the research on the effects of sleep on the brain and body followed by another explanation on permissive vs. authoritarian vs. authoritative parenting styles, with citations

There is literally nothing that can compete with how satisfying cancelling down an equation is

for no reason in particular i was looking at a list of nocturnal animals on wikipedia and

one of these is not like the other

Something incredibly beautiful that the proselfship community has taught me is that there's always someone out there willing to love somebody!

Every fictional character, no matter their appearance, personality, morality or plot relevance, is someone's favorite and just thinking about them brightens up their day

And I know for a fact that your F/O feels the exact same way about you

Every insecurity or "flaw" that you find within yourself is just another reason for them to adore you, like each detail was sculpted and placed to create everything that their heart has ever desired

And this isn't strictly tied to romantic feelings either! All your F/Os love you for who you are, as you are. Yesterday, today and tomorrow, the person that you are blossoming into will always be their favorite version of yourself

Your romantic F/Os couldn't dream of a more perfect partner, you are everything they've ever yearned for and craved

Your familial F/Os are so proud to have you as a member of their family, every single achievement of yours is something to be celebrated and cherished by them

Your platonic F/Os are thankful to have a friend like you, sometimes they feel like you're the only person who really gets them, like you've known each other for many lifetimes

Your pet F/Os are overjoyed to have an owner like you, they know that things can be rough but they'll always appreciate your kindness, patience and care

Your F/Os love you just as much as you love them! You've met for a reason and even if you can't figure out what brought you together, you deserve to allow yourself to be loved

not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…

‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.

‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.

even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.

I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.

fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.

idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

This is true, i was there

Hey…. Did you know miku is trans. she told me herself im not lying

Traumagenic and endogenic headmates aren't enemies by the way. Sometimes they play Minecraft together. Sometimes they hold hands. Sometimes they kiss. Sometimes they cover work shifts or school for each other. Sometimes even within the same system. This goes for disordered and nondisordered systems too btw.
