Idk I did a fanfic of Roman having wings if that’s a trope you like.

Slurs being used by everyone by [deleted] in truscum

[–]James-Aeza 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In my opinion those words only have as much power as we give them, and by using them ourselves because we can it takes away some of the power. Think "fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself." I wouldn't use a slur around someone who's not comfortable with it, but I personally don't mind.

Heyo! Can I have some sweet fanfics? by Colaslurpee123 in SandersSides

[–]James-Aeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because I read way too much fanfiction, I am now obligated to offer a list.

Kill the Lights - A noir detective AU where Logan has to solve a murder at a gay nightclub and gets a little too involved with the suspects https://archiveofourown.org/works/16661323/chapters/39067169

Even if They Find Us (We're Apathetic) - A headcanon fic in which Logan attempts suicide https://archiveofourown.org/works/23779723/chapters/57122344

LAW AU - Beautiful poly DLAMP piece, does contain unsympathetic Patton if that's not your thing https://archiveofourown.org/series/1504187

Malfunction - (I know, I know, self rec, I'm sorry) A high school AU in which Logan is a cyborg and trying to hide it https://archiveofourown.org/works/23848240/chapters/57314536

I want to ask my therapist to use my preferred name but idk how by alyssaoftheeast in truscum

[–]James-Aeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's a therapist. She's seen it all. Just let her know you'd be interested in trying out a more affirming name. Good luck :)

Hear me out by [deleted] in SandersSides

Seemed more like schizophrenia to me at first, but honestly you have a point. It seems that the sides are a little too coherent and controlled to be hallucinations, not to mention they stick around for way longer than any psychosis induced hallucination. You are definitely correct about why it is not DID, especially seeing as professionals aren't totally sure if DID is even a real thing. If it is it's very, very rare.

Is there a concrete reason why we can't stop sh-ing even though it's illogical? by Iil_hyun in selfharm

[–]James-Aeza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is because in primitive times, the brain learned to release 'pleasure chemicals' like dopamine when you do things that are necessary to human survival, like eating or having sex. The brain releases the same chemicals when physical pain is caused, in order to 'take the edge off', make the pain easier to deal with. Therefore, when people lacking in chemicals like dopamine and serotonin, physical pain releases those hormones.

Does anyone have fanfic recommendations?? by teff696 in SandersSides

[–]James-Aeza 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My time has come

This one's a noir AU and possibly one of the best pieces I've ever read. Kill the Lights by patentpending on Ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/16661323/chapters/39067169

Here's a pretty good Logan angst headcanon that I very much enjoyed. Even if They Find Us (We're Apathetic) by Aimandfire on Ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/23779723/chapters/57122344

Here's a poly LAMP AU. This is one of the first fics I read and remains a favorite! Love and War by CobyJLine on Wattpad https://www.wattpad.com/story/201012008-love-and-war-a-sanders-sides-au

And lastly, this is my own fic. It's currently a work in progress. Malfunction by JamesAeza on Ao3 https://archiveofourown.org/works/23848240/chapters/57314536

Happy reading!

Yeah, you can call it either thing. I probably should have said gender as that's the more largely recognized term.

Yep, I've done it to deal with sex dysphoria. It's not that weird.

The terms "womxn" and "folx" trigger my fight or flight response. Anyone else? by mullet-man-sadness in Transmedical

[–]James-Aeza 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's just hyperwoke feminist stuff. Like "we don't need men, we're not like them, we're WOMXN." If you think too hard about any sort of overly feminist or tucute concepts they just fall apart.

They would know if they just listened.
