seeing videos/art depicting the Closeted Trans Boy using ace bandages to bind makes me so angry. have the character wear two sports bras on top of each other or two tank tops or just baggy clothes?? stop promoting the idea that it’s ok to bind with bandages if you don’t have a binder. a lot of people don’t know how harmful it is.
this got a lot of notes so i figured it would be a good idea to add some links describing what safe binding is and resources for alternative binding methods
binding safety tips for all methods of binding
binding safety and different binding methods from hudson’s guide
more information on binding w/ ace bandages
MORF binder exchange—globally distributes free binders to trans people, all you have to pay is shipping
“inabind” binder donation program
a list of more binder donation programs
chest binder review blog
reviews of binders from several popular companies

and one more
three hundred people have already reblogged this post and it would mean the world to me if you all reblogged it again with this new information. a lot of trans people dont have access to binders or know the dangers about binding, especially young trans people and those who have just started to identify as trans—this knowledge could help them immensely and save them (and their bodies) from unnecessary harm
happy binding
there's probably a better way of wording the last part but like come on it doesn't matter if we're all the same to fascists
if you're worried about the new ToS for AO3, please remember that you are primed to distrust because of the way politics are intertwining with the internet right now. remember to look into definitions yourself, fact check, and look through the logic lense before jumping to conclusions.
AFAIK right now, the update clarifies terms that have already existed. it's not changing as much as it is clarity-rewriting. i'm still looking through the legalese (law student, i'm learning as I go) and I will be checking in again later, but don't despair.
however, don't get lax. download fics, connect with the authors, build out your communities. comment and bookmark and save, and please don't stop writing.

This. Just, just this is perfect.
Considering that Aoba and Sei adapted to their surroundings, wouldn't that just mean that Sei would end up looking like a long haired human Ren? Or an exact twin of Aoba with blue hair and hazel eyes if he was raised outside of Oval Tower?
Hard to say! It could have to do with their psychology as well as their surroundings — it’s not like Aoba ever started to “blend in” with the locals, and he didn’t pick up the pink or red hair of his family either. Plus with Ren, his human form is obviously based off Sei’s current one. I’d suspect Sei would look vastly different in some way though, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he looked either very much like Aoba (with smoother hair and features) or an inverse Aoba in some way, given their “true” forms have inverted patterns. A negative for blue is orange though so maybe not lmao.

I’M SO GLAD TO FIND OUT ABOUT THIS
me @ AO3
And I dont mean if youre like “yeah, I’d date one because sometimes they still have sex” I mean reblog if you’re okay with having a relationship without any sex involved. I don’t mean a relationship without love because there are other ways to display affection and love just without sex. That’s it.
