Why are we trans? Wrong answers only... So, Alexis will compulsively play games on their hardest setting, and life is no different. As for Charly, she's not even trans, folks just see a girl with a dick nowadays and assume. Wait, that's the actual answer with her...

Alexis is fairly certain they're non-binary, but if this is girlhood...

@lkcreations.art you're doing a beautiful job of brightening our day. We have always enjoyed spotting the cat, and are blessed to have your art in our house. The joy of supporting your work has always been ours. 💜🌸🤍
A book titled 'Can you spot the Cat?' is centre frame, its cover showing a hand inked illustration of a tree in the mountains in front of a moon, in the foreground is a samurai and hidden somewhere is a cat; it is flanked to either side by two 'Elves On Strike' postcards, one showing two elves relaxing in a field, the other shows them drifting in space, towing a sign that says 'Private Space' tied to one of their ankles; it is all set next to a split keyboard on a sakura desk mat.

It's probably not a good sign when someone was told we'd try to be extra nice to them in the writing workshop as it would just be them, and this was their reply: '😭 They're going to tear out and braid my capillaries' Are we that scary?

Sometimes our little writing workshops are a delightful opportunity to push ourselves to write differently, get interesting and insightful feedback, and discussion our craft. Other times they are hearing a fellow writer tell themselves: 'No, I cannot use "womb" as an adjective.'

It is probably best for our productivity, but we finally pinned down today that the reason Charly floats along rather than walks nowadays is because the other options are wearing a bra, gods forbid, or breasting boobily.

As Alexis is planning to start engaging with the local kink scene more the urge to finish up the PhD so they can introduce themselves as 'Dr. Payne' intensifies. Mustn't let them delay engaging just so they can do that on their first impressions.

Trying to make plans for Alexis' voice training today we realised... They have basically no daily routines? They make food and go to bed when our nesting partner says to, shower 0-3 times a day as they feel the need, and usually dress before noon. Everything else is... ??? Needs improvement.

At a certain point 'target audience' becomes a version of No True Scotsman; a convenient way to select the opinions one is after as valid and discard those that don't fit your narrative. If you don't get it, appreciate it, or interpret it correctly, that's just you not being the 'target audience.'

The problem with transmisogyny is that you need to fix patriarchy if you want to properly abolish it. We can't work our way up. I have a fun metaphor!

There is something both satisfying and heart breaking about really cementing a tragic plot point by piling on pain and angst ahead of it. Like yes this character is going to meet a terrible end... But only because we made her life absolute hell before hand.

The question of the night is simple: is Alexis manic rebounding from an absolute pit of depression, or is their muse simply that pretty? Both? All evidence suggests both.

Sorry to quote this again, but we somehow forgot: Alexis being told to consider vaginoplasty over an orchidectomy 'because we'll have an easier time getting that commissioned.' Love this idea that their genitals should be inverted for convenience of the doctors.

The mirror starts reading a bunch of feminist theory and comes back to the witch like "So my research on the subject got me onto a bit of a different track and I think the real answer is that you need to stop tying your self-worth to beauty standards."

Still this incredible gift from @furlana.bsky.social after many years. It's also our nesting partners and we aren't sure it would ever change; even if it makes telling whose phone is whose confusing at times.

Charly is a persistent hallucinatory companion of nearly 16 years at this point... Does she count? Neither of us are anything like neurotypical for what it's worth; though for a while now Alexis has been wondering if autistic or psychotic best describes them. Either way, coping with the world.

Our nesting partner just walked downstairs to find Alexis reading Mesopotamian poetry aloud to Charly, put her noise cancelling headphones on and sat down to wait for food. The joys of having a partner that is genuinely supportive, but also sans any fucks to give.

No, no, look... Three hours of research, four different conversations with people about it, and nearly taking up an qaddictive habit to practically test it; that's all a perfectly reasonable amount of effort to invest in a single line about a character putting out a cigarette on her own tongue.
