I have not seen past season 1 of this show yet, but I’m loving it so far! This guy has been one of my favorites but he’s been absent for like 6 or something episodes lately doggirl-tears

miscellaneous plot commentary for where I'm at in the show

what the FUCK is Mollari up to this dude is bordering on ordering literal genocide??

what is Delenn transing into?? a guy maybe??? bridget-pride

where the HELL is Sinclair I want him back. His replacement kinds sucks lmao

Garibaldi might be the straightest man alive and I mean that in the most derogatory way imaginable

I wish this show was gayer

I fucking love the technomages so goddamn much oh my god. They’re soooooo goofy and I need more of them. I was close to dedicating this mega to my love for that one episode where they’re introduced

Anyway this show is fun and cool and good but could be gayer and transer lea-sad

    Ngl I’m afraid I’ll spend my years being the potential woman.

    They’ll call me 007

    0 days presenting femme in public

    0 effort made in transitioning

    7 sessions of crying per day

    Always “if I’ll start thinking of myself as a woman” and “when I’ll lose weight”.

    sex

    Was talking with friends at work and sex came up and reminded me all of the sudden that I’m still a virgin and never been desired. I feel disgusting and unwanted and ugly and it’s probably going to get even worse when I’m out because I’m putting myself into a niche category of people who would even be interested in me

    And it sucks too because I feel like it’s such a male-coded thing to be distressed about one’s virginity so I feel erotically inapplicable and dysphoric all at one 🙃

      This is so real 100%. Same exact thing for me even down to putting myself into a tiny little box :/ fml. I am NOT looking forward to being forever alone. I hate this. I just want to have someone.

      “Look at me, Im Sandra Dee, bursting with virginity. Won’t go to bed til Im legally wed! Not me, Im Sandra Dee.” Insecurity about virginity is a thing for everyone. Women have to deal with the madonna-whore thing on top of it.

      You actually dont know if you’ve been desired or not - because that lives in someone else’s head. You’re using being virginal as a proxy for that which is a bad choice because I imagine you haven’t been in a lot of situations where you’re free use, free love, everyone’s at the social situation to fuck. Instead, you’ve had to deal with the flirting thing, finding someone, feeling safe enough to be intimate emotionally with someone.

      You’re also not a porn category so maybe drop the “putting yourself in a niche category” thinking. You’re a whole person.

    transmisogyny, anti-transmasculinity

    you know, I might struggle with being accepted in the “community” as someone who is transmasc, non-binary, both lesbian and gay, and also a futch / twink (controversial identities in an of themselves) but for some reason 🙄 this identity is somehow less controversial than just being a trans woman who is also a lesbian, compounded by multiple marginalized identities.

    I am reminded of the article which said that anti-transmasculinity it is actually a trojan horse for transmisogyny. While it is concerning that radfems occasionally target transmasc lesbians or he/him lesbians, I feel that it’s really just a hidden attack for trans women. And making transmascs or other tme non-binary people out to be the main victims in all of this (and therefore worthy of being named while trans women are left out) doesn’t sit right with me.

    Had a weird transition milestone tonight. (mild NSFW)

    I was in the bar of one of the most expensive hotels in my city, waiting for a work event. I had a phenomenal fit on, cute dress, knee high boots, etc. I thought I was coding corporate alt lesbian, but I think I might have been giving off dominatrix/sex worker.

    A very well dressed but somewhat slovenly older man in his 50s or 60s approached me, complimented my boots, started hitting on me and he asked me if I was alone and wanted to join his party. I politely declined because I have my work thing (and work in the morning, it’s Thursday).

    I think he was a sugar daddy chaser and I missed a chance to get free cocaine, my dick sucked and/or murdered. Wow???

    Mark Hamill’s majima-everywhere was pretty fucking good I won’t lie and obvs I would have wanted more in the English dubs of the series but something second best would have been continuing the legacy of dubs making people with osakan accents sound like southern hicks. Thing with Majima is he doesn’t normally talk like that it’s an over exaggerated bit he’s been doing and is even called out by saejima for it in 4 so hearing funny eye patch man speaking like foghorn leghorn would have been great.

      Before anyone corrects me on his accent know this man lives and dies for his bits so carrying a fake accent is so on point for him and second I feel it his way of carrying on for saejima his brother. Saejima didn’t exist until 4 so 1 2 3 were just building up to something, kiwami 1 I will give it props for putting hints of saejima in there

    A few irl people have told me I can message them if I need anything or if I’m not doing well or whatever and I have only taken people up on this offer a couple of times and idrk if I will again. I don’t feel like they are actually up for dealing with me at my worst.

    Which is really the time I want someone the most, but it’s so useless. When I’m feeling all hopeless and miserable and suicidal and dysphoric and hating everything I really don’t feel like there’s a consistent way to pull me out of that. Why would I even message them it’s so depressing.

    No prizes for guessing how I’ve been doing

      Yeah I get that. Feeling like you’re a burden on the mental health of others. That saying “sorrow shared is sorrow halved” doesn’t feel like it’s actually true when you’re chronically depressed.

      talking about suicide

      whatever I’ve talked about this to fucking death but I may as well post my current thoughts.

      So like, I’m rarely suicidal in the way of like, I have a gun to my head and need to be talked down. Its just the mundane, extreme suffering and the only way to end it. Its the natural conclusion of a thoroughly miserable and joyless life. I have no hope of being happy with my body and stuff for myself personally, or of being comfortable interacting with others, or how I feel I am percieved, or really just any of it. It is the only way to escape. An inevitability.

      And like, thinking about the people irl, does anyone want a text like this. “I’m so constantly miserable I am going to kill myself. It is inescapable and there’s nothing I can do. I have to suffer a little longer before I put a bullet in my head”. Like no that’s insane. And like again, what’s it even going to do.

      Fuck me man. Why’d my life have to be this.

      self harm, kinda bad

      Keep getting urges and wanting to relapse. I don’t know why I haven’t actually done it again. It feels so good. I can feel it. I want blood. oh my god its always so good. It would feel so right in this mood. I’m safe tonight and don’t really know when/if I’ll go back but fuckk.

    Update on a new era of having emotions:

    I’m learning a lot about moss and how it retains moisture and what the different shades mean for its health and how it feels when it dries out. For now my only way to wet it is to dunk it in floodwaters. There’s probably better ways to do it, but those will take time to build. Through trial and error I have a rough idea of how long to let it soak, how long to let it drip after, and how long to go between wettings. There’s still a lot to learn about how factors in my life affect it, but as I’ve put together the basics of a healthy environment for it, I’ve seen it start to grow. I’m not going to try to anticipate what it will grow into.
