I talk way, way too fucking much.

3·26 days agoStill got a tab open for this, still gotta read it sometime…
Posting late on a sunday night in an old mega as a bit
That panel is from Chapter 22, sorry forgot to say
Girltwink moment
kinda fairly gender honestly…
Calf boots fucking RULE
and cardigans do too, yeah. This shit rocks, grats on the discovery!
Only shitposting, I have no fuckin idea what the raws look like, but I wonder stuff like that too. This is the official Yen Press release which has extensive translation notes (like I don’t know about fuckin udon or w/e) but they do not cover this…
Aw man I think @Cromalin@hexbear.net recommended me this manga but now I can’t yap to her abt it…
the manga
So I like the Sakaomi Yuzaki food manga pretty okay, I mean it’s decent, the leads are fine and it’s low and slow, it’s chill. It even has a few jokes that are actually funny. But then
Oh yeah?
Is that so? Look at that, my japanese mangas are getting “woke”. They even have PRONOUNS now:
Just like me, fr fr.
Woah, it even has Beautiful Girltwink?!? With fluffy lil gay hair?? (I have a type, involving short fluffy hair and glasses) Waow, incredible technology…
and a CW for eating disorder stuff. Damn
I’m pretty pleased after digging in a few chapters deep, happy to have my expectations proven wrong. Asexual Lesbians Manga
EDIT:
Isn’t there something satisfying about ladies appropriating a tradition focused on hetero folks? As lesbians, I mean!
Wow, Yako-san… also this is why Lesbian is also a gender. But uh, yeah, for sure
I was an enthusiastic user of the term “wife” right? Straights think they can have their sanctity of marriage, well too fuckin bad! I dunno how much of that I actually want, though. A lot of het traditions I find weird or unpleasant. Part of me wants our own, special, debauched, original traditions to have. Idk.

Half the characters in Automata are just bi/lesbian disasters and it dabbles in some real gender fuckery.
You are legally required to tell me about this so that I can play it.
Nah though, I literally just talk to (and at) people. I have a high rate of foot-in-mouth incidents but bar trying to be nice, I do not have any underlying thoughts, theory, or understanding. Also I don’t think I have friends really =)
Users on here probably have some cool thoughts about the meaning of life, and I know for ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN people here do wonder if their friends like them, actually.
I’ll be blunt, I think people react with slight befuddlement to your posts because you vaguepost about having issues or thoughts without ever actually talking about them. You dob’t have to dump all of your trauma right now but this place is for talking about shit like that, to an extent. Your fear of conversation is fucking you up way worse than anything that could happen as a result of speaking your mind or talking to someone.
Speak
Alright well fair enough, Idk if I’d be good for anything anyway tbh. I’m fucking weird.
I mean, does everyone have these frameworks for themselves that just solve their understanding of the world? I don’t really, although I’ve also been basically meditating on my whole identity for like twelve years now. I think you’re overestimating people’s comprehension here, you’re definitely overestimating mine. I ask in sincerity: why does hexbear seem to have solved it all, to you? Me, I see a lot of people who don’t get stuff, often in similar ways to how I do.
Aa far as solving shit, I’ve got the most mileage from yelling into the void in this here megathread, because it does have smart people who know stuff!
spoiler
Yeah, it’s harder to rename when you hate it
Would be useful if there was some kinda neutral term lacking connotations but nothing comes to my goofy brain…
I don’t understand how socialising works either. If you’re asking me for help with regard to any of these things, you should tell me, even though I’m stupid.
You do have to tell people things sometimes, broadly speaking. Subtext is subjective, and all. By the same turn people in your life should be making you feel that they care abou you, which it sounds like your family does not.
lfg
I’m a big fan of EVERY cool alternate trans term for any body part honestly, it can be a little weird but I dig hearing about em. I’m not cool enough to use rad ones like “hen” or “aubergine” but fuck yeah! It’s startling to me how much of cisnormativity is rooted in the language we use…
“þussy”
I snorted lol, awesome
Honestly right
Maybe I want to read yuri manga to ESCAPE the male gaze, it’s not like Ayaka is in Love is doing hard hitting analysis anyway. It’s kind of the Shoulder Check problem thing again, I guess, different context but… Idk, it’s not like I think it should never ever be addressed, (I do appreciate She Loves to Cook for the conversations between Kasuga and Nomoto about it) but I found it grating, wasn’t what I needed then.
incredibly nsfw, absolute filth, there ought to be a law
Actually no, that’s way too dirty to post, don’t subject people to that.I will say though, seriously, even if you don’t have any terms for your body that you like, (which is very understandable honestly) you should internally jettison all the bad and nasty and cisnormative terms from your brain. It helps, the difference is startling.
On the one hand this shouldn’t be surprising at all - like, of course automatically referring to myself and my body with terms in the framework of “man” is deeply unpleasant, right? But it takes a long time to dig that shit out, so I hadn’t really. My internal monologue and thought processes would just kinda stop whenever certain subjects came up… but now it’s like Well, my brain is so much goddamn happier not selecting from a vocabulary of terms that pigeonholes my body as “male”. Seriously, thank fuck!
I know not everyone puts that much stock into terminology, and if the standard issue terms work then don’t let anyone stop you brandishing them. If you find things distressing the way I did though, you should consider some alternatives.
(Yes I know this is like the fifth time I post about this, but the good vibes from it continue to surprise me)
c/badposting is that way nerd
