Every Time The Stickers On My Phone Start Wearing Down I Feel Guilty Cause They’re Not As The Used

I had to break this to a close friend of mine recently but I worry that this sort of information needs to be more widespread, especially since we’re still coming off the popularity of “Don’t ever trauma dump on me! If you say anything about what you’re going through ever it’s trauma dumping!!!” And it’s equal and opposite reaction of “actually you must be there for your friends no matter what or you’re a bad friend and trauma cannot ever be weaponized that never happens you’re lying.”

You are not your friend’s therapist. You can be there for them, provide support, be a shoulder to cry on, but you are not and should not attempt to be a friend’s sole source of healing their mental health issues. Bad advice often does more harm than good, and you are not a licensed professional who is equipped with the knowledge of how to help.

I’m not saying abandon your friends, I’m speaking from the position of someone whose bad, damaging, habits were enabled by a friend who thought that watching psych101 videos meant they were qualified to heal me.

No further questions.

Even my little pony did “monstrous wolf” better how did vivzie screw this up so bad?

Loona’s feral form is so fucking horrible. It would’ve been so easy to make her look like an actual demonic hound instead of this furry abomination.

Vivziepop is so afraid of letting her female characters look monstrous or animalistic. They always have to be conventionally attractive regardless of what form they’re in.

Happy pride y’all

Still Holding On, Thanks to You 💔🍉

Each day we wake up, not knowing what will come next. 25 family members lost, our home destroyed, our future uncertain.

But today, I remind myself—we’re still here. And thanks to the generosity of kind people, we’ve raised $1,580 so far.

It’s not enough to rebuild, but it’s a reminder that people still care. And that means everything.

💙 Please, if you can, help us take the next step. Even a share means the world to us.

Your kindness is a light in this darkness. Thank you. ❤️

I don’t want to ruin what’s just begun and I don’t know what this feeling is

but I want to hold you close forever and ever and just listen to your voice as you talk about schedules or performances or whatever

And I get jealous when you hug someone else or talk to your ex

I don’t even know you that well.

I don’t want to get to know you under the guise of friendship only to spring this on you. I don’t want to hurt you when you’re already down from a breakup. I love you. I want to love you. But I don’t want to complicate things.

A lot of undercover transphobes simply refuse to accept the fact that not a singular trans person comes out and that same day they magically grow into a perfectly cis-passing man or woman (and only man or woman, because the whole idea of androgyny is mindblowing to them)

Trans people like to write about our experiences and a LOT of us have the experience of not being transitioned! That character i decided was trans in my interpretation isn't fully transitioned because your boy doesn't want to write about someone who's doing better than him!!!!! We are allowed to play with gender expression in headcanons, yes, even with trans characters.

I hate it when I headcanon a character who’s canonically a girl as a trans man and make ships of him and a character who’s canonically a guy and I refer to it as a gay/mlm/guyxguy/whatever ship and someone gets mad. Like omg let trans people have FUNNNNN. Why are queer headcanons and genderbends cool until they’re saying that the character is trans???

“OMGGG you’re so misogynistic I can’t believe you would erase FEMALE representation!!!”

and like half of the characters in the franchise are women, and a total of… NONE of the characters are trans men. Also, my headcanon doesn’t change the source material. If my stuff upsets you, you can block me and go engage with the source or maybe every single other fanwork, since mine is the only trans man hc for this character that I’ve ever seen.

or when people are like “WTF??? this is so transphobic!!! how dare you imply that a character who looks like that could be a trans man?!?! do you think that trans men are women or something??? she uses she/her, and you’re misgendering her!”

No, I don’t think that being a trans man makes you a woman or vice versa. That’s why it’s a headcanon, and the headcanon is that this character is actually a trans man and not a woman at all! You’ll never guess what pronouns most trans men had to use at some point in their lives, and you really won’t like it when you find out about pre-(or no-)transition trans men… or trans men who are in the closet… or trans men who don’t know that they’re trans yet.

“But the character is a kid!!! Saying they’re trans is sexualizing them.”

I’ve seen this one from other queer people. Like did you miss when all of the homophobes said this about your identity, or do you think that bigotry is only bad when it’s directed at you?

“Why would you say ‘testosterone could fix her’??? Are you trying to call her a delusional woman?”

Why would your brain even go to that first? This literally has to be a bad faith reading, because there’s no way that someone could see what I said and get this unless they were specifically looking for something to be mad at me for.

(Note for anyone unaware: “Estrogen would’ve fixed him!” was a meme going around at the time I said this. I’m not sure if it’s still super big, but this was a joke to the effect of that.)

“So girls can’t be tomboys anymore? You just wanna trans everyone?”

This is like actual real life transphobic rhetoric. This isn’t even just shitting on my headcanon, but in fact, sending transphobic hate to a trans man. Thanks 👍. Maybe you should go send JK Rowling another message about how much you loved her essay instead of bothering me.

consider:

Bullying a boy child makes you just as evil as anyone bullying a girl child. Maybe just.. don’t bully children?

Chat why are some of yall hating on 14 year old trans boys for being ‘soft’ like. Oh gee. Did a young trans guy like other guys. Did it make you upset that he had a gay flag and that he’s a child.

“And I hope you NASTY, VILE, BULLIES who BROKE those poor men by *checks notes* 1.) pointing out that a bad business decision was bad and 2.) recognising that a CEO is, in fact, in charge of a company ROT IN HELL for your irredeemable crimes against our parasocial blorbos!!!! 😡🤬”
