Still indecisive on what his hair texture is, but I'm getting somewhere! Side note, Martin baiting Elias into traumatizing him is one of his most badass moments in the entire show. I really love the image of him in absolute shambles, miserable and angry, falling apart as Elias leaves the room, but he knows that this time he won. Anyways, I love him sm he deserves all the things

why not all of the above hair textures??? WHY NOT.

Literally just had this conversation in my best friend group chat lmao, my buddy suggested that he could either straighten or curl it for special occasions

LMAO embarrassingly enough I actually also forgot about that- I genuinely just imagined three different martins existing simultaneously instead of the simple conclusion that he can change his hairstyles- 😭😭 we’re cooked frr

What's that meme of the two guys wearing identical hats and they look at each other from across the street and say "Same hat" at the same time

Controversial opinion: Trans women are not "male women".

Hope this helps!

Turbo-nuclear take: "Trans woman" is not a different gender from "cis woman".

Take at which we can achieve nuclear fusion: "woman of color" is also not a different gender from "cis woman".

If women of color are so "masculinized", if we are so Indelibly Associated with Maleness, then why are we hypersexualized and treated as disposable sex objects by a white-hegemonic patriarchal culture? Does our fetishization as "highly submissive" register as particularly male to you? Does the proliferation of beauty industry trends fixated on commodifying our features and making them surgically available to white women seem like we are being distanced from womanhood?

If "trans women face so much pressure to change their bodies", why do clinics stonewall and refuse to prescribe us the treatment we desperately need, and why do doctors UNDER-PRESCRIBE HRT to us, or refuse to cover top surgery for trans women?

Think, Tumblr, think!

I will state, plainly, that this site is so transmisogynistic, even its acceptance of transfemininity is transmisogynistic.

Tumblr hates women. Hates women and womanhood. It views being a woman as boring, un-hip, conformist, regressive, and 'patriarchal' or 'male gaze'.

Every time I see a post that is transfem-positive, it is almost always couched in casting trans women as Male Women, as avatars of gender-ambiguity, as a "masculine womanhood".

Best of both worlds, eh?

You are The Misogyny Site, and even your supposed 'acceptance' of us is poisoned swill.

And you will never unpack or do anything about the rampant transmisogyny on this site for as long as you are dominated by a culture that insists on womanhood as something to abhor and distance yourself from at all costs.

Yknow what I LOVE about the Star Trek fandom? It’s ANCIENT. I had a talk with a nice old lady at the old persons home that my great grandma is in and she noticed my Spock shirt and was like “oh I love that show I thought the premise was lovely” and you all know THE PREMISE is trekspeak for spirk and I was like “do you accept the premise because I do” and she looked at me with the eyes of someone who is reliving their otp moments and she said “the premise is all I wrote about, dear” and we just talked about spirk for a hella long time and I just love how age doesn’t matter in this fandom you can be ninety and still be the biggest spirk bitch ever how rad is that

I was today years old when I learned that particular euphemism

I was also today years old. Fandom codes man

Reblogging to spread knowledge about the Premise, because I absolutely love that bit of fandom, and I want to make sure that it survives. (and yay to everyone who is part of today’s 10,000!)

Fanfic culture as we know it today owes so much to older fans, especially older women, who were obsessed with The Premise.

This was a world before widespread internet, before sites like fanfiction dot net let alone anything like AO3, and long before queer media became more widely acceptable. The Hays Code, which forbade Hollywood from depicting “sexual perversion” which gay representation was considered, was only repealed in 1968, and many still unofficially stuck to it and that part especially for longer. Original Star Trek was canceled in 1969, the same year as Stonewall. But in the early 70s, fans were collaborating and making fan zines containing writings about The Premise, distributing physical copies at conventions and creating mailing lists. Later came private email chains.

In a world with so many factors working against it, large groups of fans decided they were so invested in the idea of these two men together that they would MAKE ways to share their work and acquire new content from others.

Transformative fiction existed in ways before. Adaptations of other stories have existed about as long as stories have, and I’m sure people had written their own little reimaginings and “headcanon” side stories for themselves and friends before. But the culture of spreading it far and wide, of collaborating to do so… If it hadn’t been Spirk, maybe it still would have developed similarly later/slower, but we can’t be sure. In the world we have, though, we owe old ladies who loved The Premise everything. 🙏

"gay or european" also goes for middle-aged women btw. that lady with short hair no makeup and sneakers isn't a lesbian she's just german

just besties talkin bout boysss. hypothetical boys. completely fictional boys, whose made-up actions do not in any way relate to anything anyone has done before. or might be considering doing. i just think having any kind of dating-related conversation with Bill would be really disturbing

Soon he will learn to fly away

As a reminder, this is Bimble the silkie chicken, a beast of surpassing daftness and absurdity.

This is the innovative new design of egg she laid today 😌🫶 pictured with a “large” commercial egg and some grapes 🥹

Bimble is continuing to experiment, you go girl!!! Give us nothing!

well okay

They sound like little mosquitoes

It's a good word shut up

Where's New Zealand on this map??? It also doesn't contain Girt to my knowledge unless you're Stephen Colbert but it's also missing?

Aotearoa gets left off a lot of maps on the internet and I have no idea why. Where does it go.

i collect them.

#r/mapswithoutnz#but yeah im with prev. hopefully if they keep leaving us off maps they’ll forget we’re down here 🤞

We Australians will nobly help your invisibility by continuing to pretend that any NZer who becomes famous for something is Australian.

Australia isn't real and neither is NZ/Aoutarowa

Okay normally I'm a descriptivist but I'm going to have you taken out the back and shot for that spelling of Aotearoa

Osstraylya isn't real and neither is Aotearoa

fun times: pronouncing australia like it's a german word so ow-shtrahlia

Australians are very lazy about language and half the time we just say and write Straya.

into great silence

FREE PILLOW FIGHTS!

I love that most people once they realized what was happening just went full Berserk mode without a care

also the man dropping his walking cane to have an anime like elder master reveal

This wonderful human is bringing so much joy into the world. He’s reminding people they’re allowed to play. That they can be silly in public. That fun can come in unexpected places and at unexpected times. I wish I knew who he was. I’d donate so he could buy more pillows and bring more fun into the world - once it’s safe enough to.

I love how quickly a lot of people went from "why am I being handed a pillow?" To "BATTLE ROYALE"

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

I’d just like to point out the growth in this post has mostly coincided with elon’s public spiral downward and I’d like to think we’re all a small part of that

bro can’t think because he’s just got a rager of a migraine 24/7

Cats are getting too smart
