To any and all trans people in the states, and especially trans kids, know it's going to be okay. We have endured in the past, and we will endure again. The biggest mistake they made was letting us know what it is to have freedom of expression, and now we know. We know what we're fighting for and what they're trying to take away from not just us but the generations of queer kids to come.
To any of the minors that may see this and who are terrified for their future, we care. We see you, and we love you, and we're going to keep fighting because you deserve every happy dream of a good life you have ever had.
The biggest thing I think anyone can ask of any trans or lgbtq+ person right now is just to stay with us. We're going to need your voice when we all start yelling. We need to make it fucking loud.
Me when I am offputting and peculiar to strangers (they stood too close to me and I got nervous)
sorry for barking at you, it’s the trauma
A fellow crowhearted!!!!
I'd love to know about your hearthomes!! :3 /nf
Aaa! Hello!
I'm usually pretty bad about writing about them, but I can try XD
The first one has to do with my dog theriotype. It's very post-apocalyptic. There aren't many humans left. It's lush and green, and most cities are flooded. The water usually isn't safe, though, and generally prompts a feeling of great unease. It's usually very hot and sunny. When it does rain, it's something worth celebrating. The TVs always play static, and strange creatures make their way out of the water regularly. There's something wrong with me here, too. It's where the whole radioactive dog part comes in. I've got this weird green tint, and I'm always parched. I look almost humanoid. Like a dog slowly morphing into a person. Usually, I'm walking through cities, either making dens or searching for something. There's also usually music everywhere, I constantly found different CDs or cassette mixtapes I'd listen to. For all its dangers, this world is also very beautiful. I usually see this world in memories or very familiar feelings
Fallout 4, particularly Far Harbor, is another one! I'm not sure what it is about the stinking island that gets me feeling such a deep longing, but it does. I have personal beef with any beast that makes it's way out of the fog, but still, home is home. It physically pained me to finish the dlc, I miss running around my home :/
Then there's Minecraft!
Specifically, it's the version that I and some friends have created over the span of 4 years now. It's got a really cool God system starting with the Multiverse who made the Goddess of life Melifera, as well as her counterpart, the God of death, Trigona. Then, it trickles down to things like the young Gods (such as Twine, God of architecture, and trade). And then there's even demigods, which are usually just celestial objects (the moon, the sun, a meteorite). There's also the deep history of all the inhabitants that make up the world. The sugargliders slowly dying out, the Nether hierarchy (and how it was destroyed), the skeleton hordes, the sniffers, etc.
While we made the server(s) as a place to just make a story, the entire world is based around a feeling of home and security. The overall realm is called Para Sanar, and there are two separate worlds that tell its history in different parts of time. There's also a bunch of other worlds we've made that also connect to it, though, in their own unique web.
Anyways, it's just become a very big second home to me in how much of a role it's played in my life. Anytime I play a new world, I find myself connecting it to Para Sanar, whether intentionally or not.
Alright, I'm done yapping. Hopefully, any of this made sense 😭
Write👏trans👏essays👏
Write them. Just do it. Write essays asking questions about trans identities in media and literature. Write them about trans history and its impacts. Write them about scientific findings on trans identities. Write them about yourself! And your own trans experiences! It's a great way to examine your own thoughts on your identity.
Right now, when so many misconceptions on trans identities are being pushed onto us, I feel like we need these resources more than ever. Even if you don't think you can write, even if you think essays are boring. You don't have to share them with anyone, but just doing the research, answering questions for yourself about our existence and history is something I feel is worthwhile.
Don't let people tell you it's too controversial or that you're pulling something out of nothing. Write the essay.
I love you, Minecraft. You have never failed me in my moments of need. Desperate for an escape but not wanting to be self-destructive? Minecraft. Haven't seen my friends in a while, but we can't hang out in person? Minecraft. Just need to clear my head for a while but still want to feel productive? Minecraft.
It's always there. The universe loves you because you are love. I love it right back.
trick or treat? :3
Treat! I saw that you have an enderman and a dragon kintype so here's a grass block and a golden apple :3
The day I buy a car with no cd player is the day I hang my head and cry.
I think all computers should have cd slots and all phones should have headphone ports send tumble
Sometimes I miss sleep
Not what I do every night, not what I'll continue to do for the rest of my life. I miss sleep.
I miss the slow process of laying down, with the buzzing noise of my childhood friend's TV or the distant sound of the train.
I miss my little sister telling me she could hear Rudolph on the roof or asking me for a story.
I miss the feeling of falling into sleep, and I say falling so literally, as I can still identify that familiar drop in my stomach before I succumbed.
I can still picture that same image of myself falling, not unlike Alice, into a never-ending tunnel of quilts, slowly until I headed off to my own wonderland.
I miss waking up in a sea of warmth, a hand, or a leg thrown across me, snores ringing through the room. Light hits my face from a window coated in dust. My pajamas are the same clothes I'd worn the night prior, that I'll wear again today.
I miss my childhood friend's mother softly asking me if I'd come with her to get breakfast for everyone. I don't have to put on my shoes.
I miss the feeling of falling asleep on the way to the donut shop while Green Day sings me a lullaby. The car shakes as we hit pothole after pothole, but it's still the best I'll feel for months.
I miss the way my friends mother will lightly hold a cold bottle of orange juice to my skin, the way she'll laugh softly when I shrink away from it.
I miss her asking me if I'm awake yet.
I miss answering that it's too early.
Realrealreal
