It's been wild seeing all the people immediately jump to calling this transphobia. I am literally asking for people to respect other peoples' gender identities.
I even very specifically did not say "trans people" in my original post, because the problem is not and never was trans people. (In fact, I'd say a GNC safe space needs to let trans people in for the same reason any queer safe space, including GNC ones needs to be able to let cishet people in--if it's not a safe space to people who are questioning, it's not a safe space)
I wouldn't even go as far as attributing this behavior to trans people. When it comes down to it, the people themselves are not the problem, it's their behavior.
The problem isn't trans people, it's people--of any identity--who think that, for some reason, the phrase "you should respect other people's identities" does not apply to them.
Call it queer infighting, but I feel like a safe space for GNC people should not have people who insist that being GNC is a pipeline to being trans.
"It came to me in a dream" is more compelling credentials for a source than having asked ChatGPT.
MF be like "Leandros should have gone to a chaplain or libarian and handled his suspicions of Titus in-house", and you know what? I get that. There's precedent for it. I remember reading about this big incident at the end of the Great Crusade where space marines handled suspicions of heresy in-house. I don't quite remember the name. Something starting with an "H", I think.
The only way for him to grow out of his perfectionism would be for him to lose in a manner that was very clearly his own fault. The sword may have been the final straw, but it definitely wasn't even most of the reason why he fell.
‘if only fulgrim didn’t pick up the sword he could have’ could have what. could have what. stayed under the oversight of a distant father figure? kept pressuring himself and his sons to be perfect and flawless all the time? been disposed of when he’d served his purpose? i hate you
Last night I realized that Emperor's Children will be my sixth army.
Slaanesh would be pleased.
people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works
Most relatable post about creative writing I've ever seen.
It's not an exercise in creativity; I'm doing that constantly. It's an exercise in taking that creativity and setting it in stone, putting it on a medium that can be shared.
Me @ writers: you just make that shit up from your brain???
He did lots of wrong things and that's what I love about him.
y'know what.
fulgrim did nothing wrong.
1990s mecha anime vs 2020s mecha anime
Sometimes, a good take can be found on r/grimdank.
Even treating "erotic/sexual art or writing" as something separate from pornography (which is pretty reasonable, in my opinion),
more people need to give themselves permission to write and draw pornography.

I like this perspective on what a dream job is. I'd probably still do what I want to do now: find new, improved ways of blowing up massive amounts of explosives in a vaguely controlled manner with people on top of them.
The people who say shit like "I don't dream about labour" when asked about their dream job make me sad. It's not their fault and it's an obvious conclusion to come to in the environment that we live in, but they really do seem to make no difference between work, and being exploited. You do want to work, it is inherent human nature to want to do things, you just don't want to slave for shit wages while making profit for someone else.
If art wasn't an option and I didn't have to worry about being profitable, I know what I would be doing: Keep a little shop selling secondhand-thirdhand buttons and buckles.
Thrift shops and secondhand stores could dump (or sell, whatever) their unsold and unwanted goods to me, and I could spend all day going through the heaps and picking them apart, plucking the still-perfectly-good buttons, zippers and buckles out of discarded things with threadbare fabrics and sell them.
Probably also making those little trinket storage boxes out of hollowed-out books. By hollowing out books that nobody wanted or read.
Femboys, Warhammer 40,000, Battleships, and whatever else crosses my mind
