hi!

starting a whole new blog instead of just an alt on my ancient old account! I had 27 alts on that one, it was untenable.

I'm a transmasc 33yo trying to get back into like... idk the interactive community part of fandom instead of just posting/consuming. I'm trying to find people who like trek/ds9 in a god-dishonoring way please, and boy it is tough to find that for an older fandom.

not to clog these tags but if you spend a lot of time here and have recs for who to follow lmk c:

**edited to add more info: I'm here for the garashir first and foremost, plus anything abotu the two of them individually, don't know the ship names but definitely quark/odo, kira/jadzia, odo/kira, in tng it's all data all the way down and also data/geordi, also v interested in the cardassians and dukat. truthfully tho I am open-minded and low on squicks so the sky's the limit

garak is a pathetic extremely mentally ill cringe gay man in his fourties who day drinks and abuses his prescription meds trying to fuck a twink 15~ years his junior. garak is an ex agent of a fascist state's secret police and has tortured and killed dozens of people. garak is cunty and flamboyant. garak is smarmy and a rude bitch and talks in stupid riddles. garak is terrifying. garak has done unforgivable things. garak is capable of change and kindness and affection. garak wants what's best for his fatherland. garak is a nationalist. garak wants desperately to be loved. garak cannot let anyone truly know him. garak cannot handle emotional intimacy. garak is ready to sacrifice himself for a higher purpose. garak is ready to sacrifice others for what he believes to be a higher purpose. but most importantly garak is a fucking lizard

It’s just that I fell in love with a war

And nobody told me it ended

Can you elaborate on this masculinity isn’t a prison concept? In my experience as a cis man masculinity is just a violence men do to other men in order to try and limit the violence done to them by other men.

I was raised by a theatre guy so to me masculinity also includes putting on weird outfits and singing while doing a funny little dance. Open your horizons, dude. Do gender on purpose instead of just what your dad or the bullies at school told you to do. It’s beautiful in here.
