i was like well i could ""compose a post"" or i could just. mine the way i explained this in chat the other day for parts—

anyway all this [trying to work out a congenial set of blogs to follow] has me thinking back to when i made a friend in my german reading class and was like 'oh right actually sometimes you meet people and it immediately feels good and easy and safe and fun. forgot that was how it was supposed to work!' bc unfortunately the reality is that as a now–chronically isolated misfit i'm strongly motivated to try and convince myself i could like people even when. we aren't actually compatible.

bc the thing is, it turns out that not feeling like you're part of either mainstream gender club is: really fucking lonely! bc you just feel constantly like. wow insane gender coercion is happening all around me constantly and it makes me angry and scared and i don’t know how not to vent incredulously about it but i'm also acutely aware that becoming someone who can't shut up abt their gender alienation is a great way to come off as a bore and (pun not intended) a drag…

not to mention that like. people are basically only nice to me when they girlbox me so like. i need it and hate it and feel guilty abt it!

what is your eye color. what is your favorite color. what is the color that appears most frequently in your wardrobe. what color is your favorite blanket. what color is your water bottle.

1. bluegraygreenish? i went to squint at em in the mirror and there's a bit of a brownish/orangish ring around the center also sort of like. northern ocean tide pool eyes i guess. briny noncolor with seaweed in. 2. NEON like i don't so much have a Favorite Color as i have a Color Philosophy. namely 'oranges and greens and blues that are bright.' this transitions tidily into the next answer which is: 3. no idea! because my wardrobe is Very Full of Colors. marigold and ochre and highlighter green and neon yellow and ultramarine russet and maroon and vermilion and sage and pine and aqua and teal (there are also of course contrasting neutrals like faded navy and brown and grey and some black) but like. genuinely i'd have to go count garments to find out the numerical answer bc there's no single obvious outlier 4. do duvet covers count bc in that case mine is sort of a muted seafoam linen and i love it (though again like. really what i love is the color *combination* on my bed which is like. bluegreenochre) if duvet covers don't count then i guess we'll say my ~vintage~ moth-eaten wool blanket that's like. cream striped with honey and black (less visibly moth-eaten now bc i needle-felted over most of the worst bits!) 5. mango. it's cheerful and battered and perfect. anyway. any excuse 2 talk abt COLORS MY BELOVED. :) if you can't make your own serotonin sourcing it from the textiles around you is fine. etc etc

also. watched some of the new wot earlier and it really is wild to like. find something visually and narratively very enjoyable while also feeling absolutely zero interest in finding out what fandom is doing about it. like this show is full of very beautiful people of all ages and i just. i don't need fandom to bang them together. i don't need the showrunners to bang them together. i had fun watching as much as i watched and you know what i want to do about it? watch more soon.

mediablogging very strange feeling! sort of like wanting to eat my vegetables except that idk if you can reasonably describe robert jordan as vegetables tempted to go back to my 'belatedly as an adult reading the books' project honestly—i was having fun with that! (i would say 'idk why i stopped' except lbr i was doing it performatively to amuse soph) (and then after the Great Contretemps it wasn't fun anymore) (but it's been ages at this point and i think it might be fun to pick it up again just for myself.) (might have to start over from the beginning tho.) am definitely in general experiencing a desire to like. consume more non-fanfic narratives lately which is probably like. spring happening to me the sap begins to run and the sun to stick around and the young or at any rate not-dead-yet experience a desire to use their brains a littl (i mean also i had a brief fling in a dream the other day and it was nice so like. bodies and hearts also possibly. however then i woke up) (and remembered that due to NEETitude and Gender Alien Nation i remain categorically unflingable. so like. reading and knitting it is) (gotta get back to that also but i was feeling so tantrumy about my stupid gauge swatch i took a break) (oh yeah i sort of know how to knit now. i mean for definitions of 'know how to knit' that include 'have completed one (1) item' 'and then decided due 2 my perennial insanity and overweening ambition that item 2 should be: sox. what could go wrong.') (anyway do not ask me abt attempting 2 swatch ribbing in the round. lol.) (i mean ok technically it's gone absolutely fine except i didn't leave long enough floats to *stretch* the ribbing bc i didn't realize that was a thing. however it's not actually clear whether it's a thing in this particular pattern or what.) (in conclusion the whole exercise has been mildly pointless and i'm just going to end up making my best guess‚ i think) (which. i could have done to begin with. but at least i got to practice the cast-on this way so. it all leavens the bread or w/e) (i am telling myself thru gritted teeth)

gotta say tumblr's little pro-cursive revival has really reactivated early middle school memories of being forced to write up assignments in crabbed horrible cursive and hating it more with every letter whose setup i failed to properly anticipate far enough in advance to connect it smoothly (possibly bc adhd but like. hashtag guy who's only ever had adhd so what do i know.)

it also doesn't really feel all that separable for me from the overall project of pressured feminization i was experiencing around this time where like. my natural little messy gremlin state was getting trimmed on all sides like a topiary anyway. i initially added one million disclaimers to this post but actually i think we're gonna experiment with just. not

on principle opposed to describing art i dislike as ‘masturbatory’ because even though it’s an alluringly contemptuous word to sneer it’s impossible to reconcile with my pro-masturbation stance

i still stand by this post but it's remarkable how many people it brought out of the woodwork to shout with their whole chest that they think works of art they dislike are somehow being inflicted on them nonconsensually such that 'it's actually a good analogy because some art really is like indecent exposure' 😲😲😲 like. bitch. YOU in fact chose to turn your eyeballs in the direction of whatever it was that bothered you. you can turn them away again at any time. quit going into strip clubs and complaining that people are naked there!!! (another one of these guys cropped up in the notes just now. i'm tired.)
