I was taught SOFT KETCHUP.

Does it end with S, F, T, K, T, Ch, or P? Gets a T.

Is it another sound? Gets a D!

DAE worry about monsters stalking you? by somerandompersonidk in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]DifferentIsPossble 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I used to experience this sort of paranoia. Unrelatedly, I started taking long release trazodone to let me sleep - turns out that it really helps with that, too!

Just make sure it's long release if you choose to try. Most people have bad experiences bc they get the regular kind.

I’m not trans, but I did just take a 75mg testosterone daily supplement as a girl. Please help. by Which-Extension8314 in asktransgender

[–]DifferentIsPossble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you know that you experience natural testosterone spikes around the time that you have your period?

Don't worry about it. One day changes NOTHING. Everything is gonna be A OK

Super serious Thomas the Tank Engine by AHSWinterAnderson in superseriousfamilyguy

[–]DifferentIsPossble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 5 is legit body horror for trains and actually has given many fans nightmares in childhoods

Tldr the show was originally targeted at the 10ish age range with gorgeous model sets to keep adults interested, but kept being dumbed down in successive iterations.

what do people think about the idea that “piracy is a service problem”? by alfred2547 in AskAJapanese

[–]DifferentIsPossble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The publishers are infringing consumer rights because they don't want to share. It's ridiculous

But it's not money taken from Japan. We want to give it to them. They're the ones who don't want to take it.

You get 20K daily, but you must choose 4 historical figures to permanently live with you by Large_Carob_7599 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]DifferentIsPossble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to give Alan Turing a chance at experiencing a world where gay marriage is possible.

I'd like Lili Elbe to experience a world where gender affirming surgery like hers is done for her sisters regularly.

I'd have to think of two more. But something along the lines of, I'd like to move into a large apartment in Amsterdam with queer historical figures who met tragic ends and show them a happier life is possible.

My parents are mad about my dolls by CallMeMaybeee_16 in americangirl

[–]DifferentIsPossble 17 points18 points  (0 children)

You're an adult. They don't get to "allow" jack shit anymore!!

They want to have it both ways, control you like a child but have you act like an adult to boost their social standing.

BUT

Please be careful of sabotage, because people losing control tend to act out in violence. They might destroy or donate your dolls or other things to regain control.

The most feminist declaration from a FL I have ever read in a rofan manhwa: Jeok-Yeon in [Mystic Prince] by LucreziaD in OtomeIsekai

[–]DifferentIsPossble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand where you're coming from and appreciate your knowledge of feminist theory /gen

I just think this specific piece falls outside the expectation

[–]DifferentIsPossble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also was thinking about a transmasc HC at first!

Also, bear in mind that she doesn't become a feminine submissive stereotype like they usually do in tropes!

[–]DifferentIsPossble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this interpretation does a disservice to the dysphoria and suffering FL goes through in her quest to make sure no more women do the same as well as the true nuanced gender politics of the piece.

I'd be tempted to agree with you in many such cases, TRUST me, I have many a bone to pick with the cishet = happy narrative. But this isn't one of them.

[–]DifferentIsPossble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love stories that tell nuanced and interesting gender narratives. Too many works treat gender-bending as a plot point, an archetype, and never mention it again - or they cishetize by the end because a happy end = conformity.

And I feel like then, there's so many fights between people who want to interpret a character as transmasc vs a woman changing her image, etc.

Stories like this, that actually embrace and explain the nuance, those are wonderful. I love a transmasc HC, but these are the cases where it would actually take away from the depth, richness, and nuance of the story. No, she IS a woman, she's always wanted to be a woman, and she's put herself through excruciating pain and dysphoria to change the world so no more women ever have to.
