21 (they/them) | I really love Sojourners in Space by Annie Dillard
need a bi4bi t4t m/f pairing where the girl is a giant freak and not in the "cute manic pixie" way but in the "unethical experiments in my fucked up laboratory" way and the guy is a golden retriever who thinks he can fix her. and he brings her cute bento lunches and she's like "bradley shut up put on your fucking gloves and hold this possum down so i can graft these giant grasshopper legs to it"
your brain is unfathomably colossal
growing up by the coast means that instead of crows on your roof you get seagulls and it honestly feels much more threatening
ALTthese are friends. guys even.
ALTthis is a mafia family
The director turning the giant weapon in the city in Nimona is such a powerful metaphor for anti-trans politics because it is exactly what the director says to Ambrosius
“ {innocent people will die} but the ‘monster’ will too”
In creating legislation and policies that are targeted at harming trans people inevitably cos people will also get hurt. Creating things Tim exclude trans people creates a rigid binary of feminist and masculinity that doesn’t serve most people and transphobes don’t care that they are going to hurt other cos people as long as they hurt trans people too.
Translator? Why not trans now?
My parents just read this post aloud to me and asked me if I’d seen it. I don’t know how to react.
also the way that the nimona movie showed that hate is a taught behavior?? the way that gloreth, the hero worshipped for slaying monsters, was fully accepting of nimona until her mother told her what to believe? until that generational bigotry was passed down? the way the director’s motive wasn’t even power like most evil government figureheads in media, but rather a fear of monsters destroying the kingdom because that hate had been instilled in her too, like it had in gloreth? the way ballister was also indoctrinated into hatred of “monsters” until he was just as outcast as one? because only then was he willing to change and learn?? and how even people with good hearts and good intentions like ballister and ambriosius and even the queen herself are still capable of perpetuating bigotry and unnecessary violence when they don’t take the time to understand or learn about the “others” they supposedly hate????????? i need to lie down
