about a reverse little mermaid, in which the prince’s sister has always dreamed of life under the sea, and then they are in a shipwreck, and as she hangs onto a piece of driftwood, she sees her brother rescued from drowning by a mermaid.

It’s like dark and bittersweet with a strong dose of blood and pain that’s how far I struggled to get to this point of agonizing clarity of who I am

Why is it so hard for me to write this story?
I never knew how difficult it would be as a trans* person to write from the point of view of a het cis-person who is encountering a queer trans*-being who is from a magical poly/pan/trans* society alternate dimension.
I have the alternate dimension society down pat.
But damn it, het cis are so difficult to write!

YES~~
My parents are letting me look into a new laptop!!!
I’ve had mine for about a little over 4 years and it’s been fritzing a lot lately.
I know I want to stick with Windows because it’s what I’m used to.
And probably stick with HP.
But other than that I have no idea how to go shopping for a good laptop that’ll fit my needs.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me some...

caffeinatedfeminist:
If you’re against feminism as a movement because of it’s tendencies to exclude trans* women and WOC, that’s totally legitimate.
But if you’re against it because you think it’s wrong to focus on women’s equality because it “ignores the men” then you let me come live in your universe where men are in need of having their rights protected because I’d like to see that shit.

i’ve never felt like i was “trapped in the wrong body”, at least not for gender reasons
man, this is my body. it’s the right body because it has me in it. it just has some unnecessary parts and maybe it’s not really the shape i’d like it to be yet but that doesn’t mean i have to buy a new product, it just needs some modding
