Having a drink, feel free to ask me things and I shall try to ask questions back as I get progressively drunker. For fun. #substance (This is a bad idea.)
I design and build sets I would like to be a director or even producer someday if possible But for now I am stuck as a bit of a backstage jack-of-all-trades
Oh. That sounds like a wonderful goal. I am a bit jealous- knitting is the most I can do in terms of working with my hands. I'd like to get better at that.
Insert suggestive joke about being good with my hands Insert directly after that an obligatory platitude to make that less seemingly inappropriate Despite the fact that technically you only resemble my mother thematically
Oh? Please elaborate on that last point. I'm intentionally ignoring the first few.
Pretend I didn't say any of that actually that was stupid I never had the patience for knitting I prefer things that are a little more kinetic And maybe I childishly thought it was too feminine
That's just my understanding of alternates from different "Canons" Note the scare quotes to imply my disdain for the literary implications
I can understand that last sentiment entirely, trust me. I spent a long time pushing away anything I saw as feminine.It would be a lie to say im above that now. Knitting was the one thing I let myself have, ecause i felt in some twisted way it was ironic I suppose. Despite not really being your mother, I feel I should say I have a lot of respect for you.
Despite not being your child I appreciate it Trust me I understand the five dimensional gender chess that goes into which aspects of femininity you can appropriate vs subvert vs do away with I kept having to change my look when first starting testosterone because it was upsetting my perfectly curated balance of androgyny
Mm. I see. It goes deeper for you, then.
Yes but still I'm saying I understand that resentment for femininity can be pretty fucking silly
