welcome back king (do NOT let xavier see this)
I love all the positivity about t4t, but sometimes people make generalizations about trans people only being into other trans people as a while or being down on relationships with cis people, and like. Actually my relationship with my cis bi bf has been incredible and healing and it's been amazing to see the similarities and differences in our struggles. Actually oppression isn't a monolith and in some ways he's faced more oppression than I have even though I'm trans bi and he's cis bi because people are more complicated than simple Oppression Olympics hierarchies. Actually being in a relationship with a cis person has it's own unique struggles and joys that aren't about whether the cis person is supportive. Actually cis partners absolutely can be supportive and loving to trans partners and that's a standard we should hold them to. Actually good cis queer men are a beloved part of my community
Like, I'm not going to comment on anyone's post because I realize a lot of people are just trying clumsily to be positive about something that's been helpful for them and to share their experiences. But you don't speak for me.
How LADS men say “sorry”
Sylus’ black card works, but I’d settle with Xavier’s for now.
permission to post from: keiyaa.aa on tiktok!
shout out to autistics who get angry when they’re overstimulated. who want to hit. who want to bite. i love you. you deserve love and care too. you are not less valid or autistic because you dont have stereotypical symptoms.
Xavier deserves more love.
There! I said it!
The man has loved mc for three life times now, made a deal with the devil (Ever), traveled across time and space, moved planets, lived on Earth for a few hundred years to save / find her, and prevent catastrophe from happening to her, fuck even saving her as Lumiere when she was young.
She is the only one that sees him as himself. As Xavier.
He is kind, and comfortable, and selfless. He deals with immense survivors guilt and loves so deeply.
We talk about Rafayel and Caleb being the yearners and clingers. But have you seen Xavier? He is clingy as fuck, and wants nothing but her. Nothing.
Some fun things I love about him, he has one of the biggest appetites but cannot cook for shit. He is unironically hilarious, when he starts telling his little horror stories or ghost stories trying to scare MC, it’s so funny.
I feel like he gets overlooked so often, partially because he’s not as showy as the rest of LIs. I’m sure some might see him as boring, but he is safe. His relationship with MC is one of closest she has, aside from Caleb. They’re neighbours, and colleagues, and best friends. He is deeply ingrained in her life, and a foundational pilar of support for her.
Put some respect on his name.
coming home drunk and showering xavier with kisses
short fluff <3 inspired by this lol
Xavier wondered what you were doing. He's at home, observing his fitness watch app when he noticed that your heart rate has been picking up. It's nothing alarming, but it makes him curious about what you could possibly be up to at this time of night.
He got his answer two hours later when Tara knocked on his door with your arms wrapped around her shoulders, giggling uncontrollably about something.
"Thank god you're here." Tara passes your swaying body over to Xavier, who then steadied you by putting one hand on your waist and another on the small of your back. "She kind of drank a little too much, so..... good luck and good night!"
"Huh?"
Soom after Tara vanished, Xavier felt his cheeks being squished by two cold hands. "Ooohh, no way! You look just like this guy that I like!"
"...oh no."
During the last ten minutes, Xavier has been trying to get you to drink water.
"I'm not drinking that love potion!"
You keep running away from him and occasionally bumping against his furnitures and the walls of his apartment.
You were giggling while looking over your shoulder, trying to see how far he is from you when suddenly, you bumped into....Xavier.
"Wha- how did you - " You suddenly gripped his shirt. "Oh, Xavier! You're not gonna believe this! Someone who looks just like you wants to give me a love potion! I think he might be Lumie- ah!"
Xavier threw you over his shoulder and did his best to hold tightly as you wiggled dramatically to free yourself from him. "I just want to give you some water."
He set you down on the couch and got on one knee in front of you so that he could give you the glass of water.
You blinked and stared at him with wide eyes, pupils dilated and body petrified.
Xavier tilted his head. "Are you okay? What's wrong?" The moment his hand brushed against your cheek, you gasped and recoiled. "Hmm?"
"...pretty...."
/////////////
You woke up with the worst headache of your life. You're never drinking ever again.
You say that every time you get drunk, but you really mean it this time. It doesn't matter how good the drinks are - you can only have one drink from now on! No more!
"Ugh..."
You opened your eyes and recognized Xavier's bedroom. You're wearing your pajama shorts and one of Xavier's comfortable shirts that's enveloping you with his scent.
Xavier is still sleeping next to you, back facing you and face partly buried on his pillow.
You wanted to stay in bed for a little longer and cuddle with him, especially since he always looks extra soft in the mornings, but your dry mouth is forcing you to get up and hydrate yourself.
And so, you dragged yourself to the kitchen. Along with a pill that'll help with your hangover, you took a big gulp of refeshing cold water.
"Good morning." a tired voice greets you through a yawn. "How are you feeling?"
You turned around to face Xavier and immediately choked on your water.
"PFFFFTTTT - "
You coughed and spat out some water, putting a hand on your throat as you felt it burn slightly.
"Are you okay?!"
Xavier ran over to check on you, giving you a closer look at his body's....modifications. He's only wearing his pajama pants, so everything else is out on display.
"That's...."
Xavier realized you're gawking at him - specifically at the lipstick stains all over his face, neck, and chest.
The kiss marks are the same shade of red that you wore last night when you went out with Tara and Simone.
"Oh god..."
Your right hand reached for Xavier's face and your thumb started to wipe one kiss mark on his cheek.
You almost forgot about it, but now the faint memory of you peppering kisses all over Xavier is slowly coming back to you.
You just remembered him looking so dazzling and you were overcome with the urge to kiss him.... a lot, apparently.
"You could've at least wiped them off before falling asleep."
Xavier smiled and shook his head. "I don't mind them. You were having a lot of fun and it was helping you calm down. I'm glad I was able to help."
"Ugh. I'm never drinking again."
"That's what you said last time." Xavier laughs, nuzzling his face against the hand that was wiping him. "But it's okay. As long as I'm your only victim, I don't mind taking care of drunk you."
based on real tweets/quotes - mostly rafayel
as a knitter, you start to notice how rare it is for characters in tv shows and movies to knit correctly. from worst to best, it ranges from:
- laughably incorrect, just flinging yarn around
- knitting the most basic scarf incredibly slowly because the actor Learned How To Do It For The Role
- old lady actresses casually knitting an intricate lace pattern while doing a monologue
- gromit from wallace and gromit
Do something small. Do something actionable.
Every time someone (incl disabled people) say that disability is just a social construct, a fairy looses their wings
