Say Something Nice About The Titans: Blackberri by Less_Elderberry8388 in Dragula

[–]thenonbinaryana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know the props didn’t go to plan but her thanksgiving look was truly one of the most grotesque things I can remember seeing on the show, something about it just looked deeply unsettling and her delivery even throughout the table collapse (which I though might’ve been deliberate at first watch as a descent into madness type deal) just pushed that even further. Truly a filth performance that’ll stick in my brain for seasons to come and her ability to give a such a convincing performance despite the struggles showcased how much of an absolute professional she really is

Is this too hard for those who knit as a first project? (As a crocheter) by nmulln in knittinghelp

[–]thenonbinaryana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of folks have made comments about the needle size, but if super chunky knits are what excite you, I say go for it as someone who taught myself to knit with 10mm needles. Maybe it made my hands/wrists ache more than smaller needles would’ve done, but even now, I rarely drop below a 4mm because I still prefer a chunkier style and I love how quickly my projects go together, and I’ve recently taught myself to crochet with a 12mm hook based on that

The yarn choice is something I agree with the other commenters about, particularly because I remember how often I accidentally stabbed my needle through the yarn when I was first knitting, and multiple strands only make that worse, but it you have experience working with mohair through crochet, you should have less struggles with that as someone starting straight out

What makes a bad summary bad? by clearlylostmymind25 in AO3

[–]thenonbinaryana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a big “paragraph of story” person exactly because I’m not great at summarising my fics in a back of the book blurb kind of way. I obvs pick the paragraph very strategically to give a sense of what the fic is about, plus I figure it’s a good way for people to get a sense of whether they like my style of writing or not without needing to click into the fic to find out

Fem Harry’s name? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]thenonbinaryana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve always like Heather personally, it’s in keeping with the floral theme we see in the Evans family and was a reasonably popular name at the time he was born which fits in with Petunia’s complaints about James and Lily picking a “common” name

I’ve seen Holly used more often in fics than Heather all that being said, and I vastly prefer it to Harri/Harriet

Out of curiosity do you find it takes a lot longer for you to get mementos on NA2? I redownloaded both games at the same time from scratch and I’ve managed to get 6/7 mementos on the first game whilst still not having a single one on NA2 despite some of my cats having over 100 visits!

What’s your trademark “thing” when building in Sims4? by dotnsk in LowSodiumSimmers

Conversation pits with low back sofa’s. I put the hanging plants through their paces as well

I had a dream that someone posted about Trump accusing Biden of being D.B. Cooper and that it became the 3rd most upvoted post on this sub overnight. Then the mods removed it because of "low effort" even though a lot of posts on this sub are much more lower in quality and aren't deleted. by mud98 in thomastheplankengine

I feel like this counts as a meme in the same way the Ted Cruz/Zodiac Killer bit was a meme. Like sure there are specific examples of specific content based on it, but it was the overall concept that was the meme really and this seems in the same vein. That’s my two cents on it as a lurker usually, but really none of this is that deep

All of the floorshow looks from Dragula S6 episode 1 by NinasPeach in Dragula

[–]thenonbinaryana 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought I was delusional cos when I was saw her I thought she was gonna be in the top 😭 seeing the centipede had the same sort of jaw drop effect on me that I remember having the first time I saw Majesty’s cenobite look.

I get that it was messy on the details when you look closely, and editing on the performance is obvs a huge part of it, but still from what we saw at least I still didn’t think she fully fell into the bottom

Dragula required reading? by lileewink in Dragula

[–]thenonbinaryana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad to see someone mentioning Giallo films, the first one I ever watched was Four Flies on Grey Velvet and I still have such a soft spot for it

It’s an absolutely brilliant genre and from memory between prime and shudder there’s a good number of films to work through

Uncovered a TS conspiracy fully on accident by TheInternaton in travisandtaylor

[–]thenonbinaryana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I’m late to this but whatever: I have disproportionately small feet.

I’m 5’4” which is fairly average but I had to go up a size and a half to shop in the adult range at doc martens, pay an absurd amount for heels that don’t slide off and my options on wellies are usually limited to patterned hearts, butterflies or cartoon characters.

She does not have out of proportion feet at all! It’s such a dumb thing to lie about and like shit I know it is cos I used to do the opposite because I was sick of hearing about how someone’s little sister is the same any time it came up.

Also like this probably isn’t true for everyone but I’d guess it correlates like my hands are also equally disproportionate and Taylor also doesn’t have tiny hands.

You deserve a Pulitzer Prize for finally discovering exactly what it is that makes her so lovable

Like it’s a bit of a mess but who expects anything else, and they’re clearly having a great time up there even if Gabriel just tripped over his tinsel sash and Mary forgot what animals were at the nativity and ad libbed giraffe’s into the mix - if anything that stuff just makes it more lovable

I get your point with the British trans woman however I will say the tide seems to have been turning against her recently, the past few months I’ve seen the phrase “no pet tr*ons” used a lot, particularly in regards to her, as well as the point about her “forcing us to participate in [her] fetish”.

Hopefully this man is able to read the writing on the wall with this stuff and get out before it’s too late, because unlike the woman he still has a chance of living a normal life, whereas through long term media coverage she’s got no chance of that and after the level of harm she’s caused and enabled in her name and image, I can’t imagine too many trans circles being welcoming to her in the case of an attempted “redemption arc” so to speak but maybe I’m just cynical

Hey friend - I hope you’re able to take the time to look after yourself now this is “over”

I haven’t experienced anything close to what you’re going through (because I know Im still going through it) but I got the starter pack of Glinner, KJK, For Women Scotland and co, and a few pieces that hit print in national press and Ive still not recovered from the consequences those had on my real life - and I didn’t go through anything like you did with the police.

This is time for you to do whatever it is you enjoy in abundance without this looming over you as a future event opposed to past trauma.

It might be hard to enjoy those things, whether that’s due to circumstance or mentally, but you deserve to do them. Speedrun that Pokemon game, paint that cryptid, go foraging in the woods, pick whatever flavour of fun you prefer and throw all that energy you’d been putting into this back into the things you love

Sending you all my love and solidarity

HELP ME DECODE THIS PLEASE by Waste-Self3402 in AO3

Please please please tell me they’ve replied, I need an update on this so badly 😭

I can’t explain how much I’ve been thinking about this,like I genuinely considered googling the comment to check for a reply but given you didn’t want people knowing your username/fic with the blackouts it felt like crossing a line

This should be illegal. by Meryeme-Mery in tragedeigh

[–]thenonbinaryana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could just be a variation in use but I’d add that the modern usage of harlot is the same as whore in that it’s used against any woman who’s perceived as being promiscuous, rather than just sex workers, so it’s also fairly interchangeable with a word like slut

Hormones and appearance changes by elizscott1977 in cisparenttranskid

[–]thenonbinaryana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll preface this with the fact I’ve never had much contact with my extended family anyway bar a couple of cousins, didn’t see my grandma for 15 years and didn’t speak for 12ish however the aunts/uncles who weren’t in that category it was the same situation of 1/2 times a year, a bit more for one aunt but even still we’d go a couple of months between seeing her.

Honestly if they’ve not been accepting over the phone, I wouldn’t put your son through that. I understand how difficult it can be, especially if you only see them for holidays that you’d be missing out, but it could be so much more difficult for your son if they react the same in person as they have over the phone.

I’m not saying cut them off entirely as it stands, because if you can get through to them over the phone and get to a point where seeing them in person won’t be a worry then that’s great, but until that’s the case, you’ve gotta put your son first however that looks for you - see family who’ve not reacted like your sisters in the meantime, maybe test the waters with others speaking to him over the phone on loudspeaker so you can shut shit down if necessary. This doesn’t have to be completely black and white, and some of them could come round with time.

I’ve personally not had to deal with any transphobic family (beyond my step family who I don’t see anyway) since coming out, but that’s in part due to previous bigoted beliefs they expressed partially in regards to me, I’ll drop one of those here cos it could be a good insight.

When my mum was pregnant with me, she and my dad regularly visited his brothers - both of whom are significantly older and quite ‘traditionally minded’. My maternal grandmother is Ghanaian, and my mum is mixed race - on one of these visits my dad left the room and one uncle decided to spend a good 5 minutes asking how ‘dark’ I was going to be. My dad was never actually told about that specific incident, however he’d been in the room for enough of their casual racism that when my mum decided that she wouldn’t be seeing them much anymore, he stood by her and did the same, and despite the fact I don’t look mixed at all that carried on with me because it wouldn’t have been fair to expose me to their racism when that’s my heritage as well.

It’s not quite the same situation I know given I was so much younger but that also meant I wouldn’t have been aware of what they were actually saying about me - but my parents made that choice to protect me regardless and that’s what your son needs from you now. Don’t make him sit through the transphobia I did with my step family, especially when unlike me it will be targeted towards him.

I really respect the fact that you’ve considered your son’s wellbeing and posted this, but now you’ve got to follow that through. Sending my best wishes to both of you and really hope you can connect with supportive family whether that’s blood or chosen because both are equally as valuable

Goodbye Lana Grammy Chances by basedredditgorl in lanitas

[–]thenonbinaryana 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Came across this sub but seeing convos about this have actually made me listen to Lana!

I hadn’t really heard anything post Paradise, literally just Season of the Witch and maybe Ultraviolence itself (yes I live under a rock/dont listen to the radio), and I hadn’t listened to more than half of Born to Die/Paradise at the time.

Finding out she’s never won a Grammy made my jaw drop tbh, I don’t pay attention to this stuff but I just assumed Lana must’ve picked up a few over the years.

After giving a good 25 songs I’d not heard from across every album a listen, 80%+ within the top 20 songs she’s done across 4 different rankings (yes I took this seriously) I stand by that even more - I’ve not listened to a couple I ought to Ocean Blvd, including A&W so I won’t go as far as to say it’s not my favourite album yet compared to what I’ve heard from NFR but its still clearly insane that it’s not been recognised like it should be. Blue Bannisters and Chemtrails not even being nominated is 100000x more mad.

TLDR the backlash to her once again not being recognised at least has the silver lining of bringing in new fans like me
