💫To Be A Man💫
Thrilled I get to post my part of @ghostsharkpress ‘s transology zine before pride month ends. Our prompt was to recontextualize a formative childhood cartoon through the lense of transness/gncness.
These are thoughts I’ve had spilling around in my head for a while and seeing how important Treasure Planet was for me as a kid I thought it would be perfect. I always struggled with the fact I don’t really have any older male guide or figure to learn myself from so as a kid I tried to mimic the masculinity of shows or my peers. Growing older and wanting to step out of boyhood has really been a journey of self discovery and self worth and I’m really proud of the person I’m becoming.

men should grunt and moan more
Exactly!!!! He’s just like Howard Hughes fr
Capt Nemo: Imma tell you how my ship works and how I stay alive underwater in excruciating detail
Prof. Aronnax: Oh hell yeah gimme all that science
Nemo: And I'll tell you exactly how I managed to build this ship without anyone finding out
Aronnax: I believe every word of this increasingly ridiculous story
Nemo: Now it's time for my diatribe about how I hate land and will remain underwater forever
Aronnax: Go off, queen
Nemo: Aaaand that's all you need to know I guess
Aronnax: Cool cool cool. I definitely don't need to know who your crew is, where they came from, how many there are, or how you managed to convince ~100 people to give up life on land and just live underwater for the rest of their lives
Nemo: Yeah lol why would you care they're not like PEOPLE
Arronax: lololol totes bestie
Nemo: oh btw we don't have a doctor
Part of Reigen’s bit as a ‘psychic’ is that he finds people with problems that they have attributed to Cursed Spirits, such as, lack of sleep, stiff shoulders, etc. and solves them with conventional means.
Only calling on Mob, or Serizawa when a spirit is actually the problem.
This is similar to how witches work in the Discworld series, only they can actually use magic.
Witches like Granny Weatherwax avoid using magic as much as possible, mostly using headology (psychology), Boffo (basically kayfabe) and their skills, only resorting to magic when absolutely necessary.
Now that I think about it Reigen uses a lot of Boffo in his work too.
ok so im recovering the files from my high school-first 5 semesters of uni laptop
this is what i left unfinished. all these years ive never forgotten him
Reading 100 years of solitude right now and so much happens constantly. There's years and years of family drama in twenty pages and now I need an eye rest yeesh!
This too
I love when gothic lit men fuck around and find out
I am pleading once again for white liberals to read The New Jim Crow and see how racist policing and law enforcement is 1) bipartisan and 2) the key to how people of color (Black people specifically) are systemically, violently, and purposely kept in check in this country. Begging y'all to see that someone doesn't have to say a slur to be antiblack in the entirety of their belief system, that the status quo you live under is maintained by the suffering (both current and potential) of millions
everytime I remember that lesbian couple that have a marble statue of the two of them embracing and sleeping on a bed together over where their graves will be because the artists didn’t believe they would be able to be married before they died, so what they couldn’t have in life they could have in death, I fucking breakdown
He’d be like 🐟🐠🐡🐠🐟🐠🐡🐟‼️‼️‼️
I just know Professor Pierre Aronnax would be an emoji menace. He loves those funky little pictures and he's going to make it everyone's problem.
Started my libretto for a horror themed 20,000 leagues under the sea opera!!
This scene is when one of the crew mates gets his head exploded by a broken lever (due to Nemo’s secret ramming adventures)!
