elm trees my only friend
every tree grabbed my ass and beat me senseless. so much so that my allergist scribbled more trees! and yet the lovely elm cradled and comforted me
The phrase "gender transition as the Hero's Journey" has had a transformative impact since entering my brain. It provides a non-rigid, yet specific enough, codification of things I specifically dislike in trans stories which include transition as a significant part of the narrative. It's like having a quick checklist of avoidable mistakes when I'm writing.
I'm not sure I'm the one who said this or one of my partners. I just know I kept feeling like, "I don't want to write about transition as the narrative of trans characters" but that wasn't true (transiton is in a lot of my trans writing) and feeling like, "myself (and others) want stories about trans characters but not where transition is their whole story" which isn't true because something like I Saw The TV Glow proves it. So clearly it was something about the way a significant number of popular trans narratives weren't connecting for me, specifically and the Trans Hero's Journey feels like it's the thing. Because it's not wrong or bad per se, but it's a feature whose presence I can see, which I know is a thing I personally don't connect with, but which is understandably something which would purposefully or inadvertently wind up utilized for telling trans stories.
had a dream i walked up to a food stall and they tried to sell me 3 takoyaki for $130 and i was so mad that i woke myself up before completing the transaction. idiot lost their customer to the waking world lol. charge less next time.

yeeowch!
some of you need to stop psychoanalising your kinks and start doing mad scientist shit to them instead.
no more "do I enjoy being tied up because I secretly crave an excuse not to fight back against intimacy because of my mother", that is dumb and useless.
start doing shit like "what do I like about being tied up? what part of it gets me going?" and then once you have isolated the components of the kink that are the main drivers, look for all the other kinks that contain them. mix and match. get creative. experiment.
