You can always come here for thanksgiving and hanukkah and passover although I LOVE all three

YOU’RE SO SWEET DOC

In different contexts I might like holidays, they’ve just always either been tense family time or else very lonely, and I’ve always felt the pressure to make something of them. 

We’ve got a new security guard at work who seems p butch and she’s got that perfect butch face, not that pretty boy androgyny but that kind of beautiful rough and tumble sort of face and I get so flustered around her because I’m just like hi!!! I want to be you!!!!

Baby butches get so excited to see someone like them

Fun side story– my fiancee made me cry on the subway ON PURPOSE last night because I mentioned this and she ran with it and the thought that I could be even one girl’s first butch, that I could make a difference to even one girl makes me feel SO MUCH.

This poor guy by us kept looking so confused because I was laughing at telling her to stop but also just. crying.

A Happy Thing

Last night we had a YA author in so I decided to go full dork and match my outfit to the book cover color scheme, and the kids were so impressed by it. There’s also a trend I’ve noticed with teen girls that they get really excited about the way I dress, my bow ties and my hair and everything, and it makes me so hopeful for young butches and baby gays.

 Imagine that sometimes she talks about her visions and the stuff that
worries her and Minako like MAKES NOTES but then she’s just straight up
talking for 20 minutes telling some action-adventure story about her
skirt flying over Tokyo and shitting on everyone’s heads
(Minako is taking notes for that too because she could use it to kinkshame Rei later)

YES. I imagine for the former, Mina debates waking Rei up to comfort her or talk, but knows Rei would clam up if she knew Mina was privy to these things.

ALSO. Please imagine Rei being unexpectedly affectionate sometimes in sleep, not ever saying “I love you” but little things she wouldn’t say consciously yet, like “I want you close to me” while snuggling into Mina’s chest. Mina just has to lie there with this wonderful terrible secret affection and hope Rei will reach that level while awake soon.
