I binge watched all of Arcane this weekend, and it's going to take me a while to emotionally recover

Because of fatphobia. Worst thing people could think of back then was to call them all fat. Same thing with the donut stereotype.

Last night I had a dream about living alone in an apartment again, and for the first time since my wife and I split last year it wasn't a nightmare. I was even kind of excited.

I think my goal for 2025 will be to get my own place. The space from her will be good for me.

I should make more of an effort to use this, since the other place is just terrible these days..

Happy very snowy Wednesday!

Comic, 5 Panels. Panel 1: boy holding a toy, deep in thought. Caption: I was a perceptive kid. I was pretty young when I picked up on the (terrible) idea that men weren’t supposed to be emotional. Words outline the boy's thoughts "Me = Boy, Boy + Time = Man, Man = Don’t Cry, therefore, Me = Don’t Cry" P2: boy looks to the doorway, frightened by shouting in another room. Caption: I also picked up on what happened in our household if I didn’t meet that expectation. P3: Robin, the boy, older and transitioned to female, says "So, if something was too difficult for me to just deal with, a lot of the time I would kind of… ignore it." P4: Robin sits by a mirror. Her teenage self is getting dressed and looks uncomfortably at his hairy, male physique. Robin says "Like, say-, a deep, growing unease with my body and identity that came on so slowly and quietly that it’s only in retrospect that I can chart the crash of my self-worth during my teen years." P5: Robin says "You know. The usual."

Comic, 6 panels Panel 6: Teenage Robin puts on a shirt, while Present Robin continues: "I didn’t fully know what I was feeling, but I sure knew I wasn’t supposed to be feeling it." Panel 7: Teenage Robin smiles into the mirror, while Present Robin explains: "The answer was simple: “Actually, I don’t feel this!" Panel 8: Close on Present Robin, who looks dead-eyed and remarks sarcastically "Truly a flawless approach." Panel 9: Present Robin looks sadly downward and says "But honestly? I think I needed it." Panel 10: Teenage Robin is walking out of the room, grabbing the door handle as he leaves. Present Robin starts standing, as she says, "Don’t get me wrong, I shouldn’t have had to go through it. But, realistically-" Panel 11: Present Robin looks toward the door, holding one of her shoulders. The door closes with a "click" as Robin speaks, "When I was growing up- where I grew up- I think knowing what was wrong, and being unable to do anything about it, might have been worse."

Comic, 6 panels Panel 12: Robin, arms crossed, speaks to the reader, "Thinking on my past, there’s a lot of “what ifs” And I can be pretty harsh on my younger self." Panel 13: Robin gestures to a young version of herself, speaking to other kids with a shitty grin on his face. Present Robin says "Some of it’s deserved. I was kind of a little shit." Panel 14: Robin is now next to another young version of herself, somewhere in her twenties. He looks troubled, staring down, a hand rubbing his neck as he sits in thought. Robin looks down at him, sadly and says "But I also think I can be a little too hard on him." Panel 15: Present Robin looks up and starts to speak, "He-" Panel 16: Robin stops speaking, and closes her eyes. Panel 17: Present Robin looks back toward her younger self, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder as she says "She was doing her best."

Dealing With It

I really ought to use this app more, give it a proper chance. To that end I'll share some recent news.

I came out to my Mom a little over a month ago. It went very well. She's asking me what clothes I have and like, offering me hand-me-downs (lol) and asking me what she can do to support me 🩷

Maybe if the alien kid didn't look like a $10 Halloween costume it would have been better..

I just got here and am looking around. Need to build a good list of people to follow.

Pretty much anyone who's LGBTQ+ gets an autofollow from me, they just tend to be awesome people for some reason 🤷‍♀️😉🏳️‍🌈
