A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.
everyone has probably figured this out already but augh. The undertale game over screen saying -
"[NAME]! stay determined..."
- you input the name of the first human, not frisk's name. it's asgore telling Chara to stay determined as they died.
dude.
ouch.

Please reblog for a larger sample size.
The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.
Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”
Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”
The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.
Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”
Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.
Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.
I'm not sure how many young transmasc/transneutral people will even see this, but some words of advice;
disclaimer, I'm not here to say "don't wear your binder ever" but it's SO important to hear about the safety and truly take it in
I'm Nico. I began wearing a binder at roughly age 12 to 13. I heard and saw all the tips about 8 hours a day maximum, and forward facing tatas. those both and more absolutely apply, but my focus in writing this is about how many hours at a time you're wearing it.
I would wear mine ALL day anyway, I'd put it on at 8/8:30am, and take it off 12 hours later at 8/8:30pm. anyone in these same shoes will understand why I did that. I once wore it for 42 hours straight.
I haven't worn any binders, or any method of chest restriction, in 6 months or slightly less. I'm 16 now, and I still get horrible rib pain from time to time. please, do not overbind. your ribs are not finished forming and sitting into place until roughly age 20, and aside from that, you can damage tissue on your chest that can affect your ability to have top surgery.
I'm not advocating for younger people not binding, but you really must be careful of your moderation because the damages are very real. I myself never saw any first-hand accounts of people that hadn't paced themselves, and it may have helped me if I did. so I hope at least one person sees this and takes care of themself/ves.
feel free to ask me to elaborate on anything, or other questions, and I will to the best of my ability.
thank you.
not art but my boyfriend got a starscream yesterday so we're putting it together! happy new year everyone
some highlights from a current wip (everyone and their mother has made a bbc ghosts modern au but i have thomas/isabelle brainworms and needed to make my own take on one with them as the focus)
"Hearts not parts!" > everyone else only cares about their partner's genitals, making me more virtuous
"Pansexual means I'm attracted to trans people too!" > no one else could ever love a trans person because they're a special Other category that you need to include instead of just being men and women
"I'm more comfortable with the term pansexual." > I don't give a shit about the history of the term pansexual and I am actively trying to erase bisexual history. I spout transphobic and biphobic bigotry disguised as "wokeness" and I don't even realize it, or if I do, I simply don't care. I value the warm, fuzzy feeling I get more than the history and goals of LGBT people and what they have fought for decades to accomplish.
"I don't see gender." > I am making an effort to ignore something that is pretty integral to a person's identity.
"I need to get to know someone before I have sex with them." > I think I am Unique and Special. I am more pure than those filthy, sex crazed bisexuals who will sleep with anyone. I am incapable of comprehending that most normal people desire emotional connection to a person they're sleeping with.
"I identify as pansexual." > I am no different from someone who is bisexual, except that I'm more special because my internalized biphobia makes me think bisexuals are icky.
"Let people identify however they want!" > I have not thought critically about the impact of this because I don't care about anything beyond my immediate surroundings.
"It's not hurting anyone." > I have likely read many accounts from people who have been hurt by my label, but I am choosing to ignore that because thinking critically about it makes me uncomfortable.
"Pan means all and bi means two." > I'm not clever enough to realize that there are only two kinds of attraction: homo (same as me) and hetero (different than me). I am also actively ignoring the meaning of the purple stripe on the bisexual flag.
mgs2 Substance for the PS2 makes me think things
