I Love Being A 30+ Woman In Fandom. Reblog If You Also Love Being An Old Dame In Fandom

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

cw: Mentions of sexual violence, colonialism and sex.

He always felt a sort of disconnect with masculinity.

But also, being raised in a very patriarchal society, witnessing sexual violence and inequality targeted at women, he always felt a sort of duty to be a model man.

He was scared of his own sexual desires because he's seen sex used as a way to harm others.

He conformed with gender roles in order to ease his more progressive ideals amongst his parishioners.

He studied feminism and related those topics to his preachings.

He still had a hard time understanding sexual diversity, yet, he was a progressive priest when it came to LGBT+ rights.

When he learnt he was intersexual, he felt very confused and ashamed. It brought back that feeling of alienation with his role as a man.

It made him realize his own biases about gender identity and sexuality.

That only fuelled the feeling of inadequacy for the role he had been filling as a priest and man of god.

Before he was appointed to the clinic, he received a closeted trans penitent to his church.

He saw himself reflected on them and made the choice to be himself.

Afterwards he started doing more research about the difference between sex and gender.

He saw himself reflected on the people that were beyond women and men. Related to the detachment to one's assigned gender, and the desire to not be perceived and be limited by it.

Learning about the coloniality of gender brought him a lot of comfort and solidified his anti imperialist views.

Now that gender and sex wasn't as structured inside his mind and soul, the idea of sex didn't scare him as much-

Sex wasn't something he had to "take" or do to someone else. And he let himself indulge in fantasies and self pleasure.

He found his own gender identity very personal, something he had acknowledged with god only.

By the time he's in the papacy he's very comfortable with his identity.

He finds he enjoys challenging gender norms in his duties and his presentation. Leaving his hair long and wearing more feminine clothing under his cassock.

Pope Innocent never comes out publicly, but he makes sure the church becomes welcome of trans people.
