    Why don’t you list the definition you’re operating under so we can skip the talking past each other argument. I was saying twink in it’s modern usage is more of a vibe than strict “gay cis male early twenties with low body hair and body fat”. I wasn’t saying that sentence is the entire definition of twink, so you’re right that’s not what twink means.

    I don’t think Link has ever been depicted as having any body hair, so he can’t really be an otter. Also twink has evolved beyond its usage in gay culture. These days it’s more of a general term that implies vague queerness more than explicit cis male homosexuality. We don’t really know if Link is a femboy, trans femme, trans masc, or what, but he’s definitely a twink under the modern sexuality agnostic usage.











  • As someone who has recently been the person who doesn’t care anymore, but has also been the one who does, you aren’t doing yourself any favors clinging to someone who isn’t interested. It’s just going to hurt both of you the whole time and end the same anyway. You can’t change their feelings or your own feelings, but you can let them go and try to move on. It sucks and it hurts and it feels like such unfair bullshit, but in the end you will be better off without them, and as painful as it may be to hear they will be better off too.






  • I never really hated trans people personally but I definitely didn’t see them as whole people for most of my life. I thought they were just broken mentally or something which was easy to rationalize since most trans people (including myself) carry around a fair bit of trauma and mental health issues, often due to how people treat us and how society depicts us. The color I want to add here is that despite having (eventually) accepted that trans people exist and aren’t broken and transitioning is a totally fine thing for someone to do, I didn’t connect the dots that I was trans and that I could transition myself. I finally realize the first time I tried lsd. It just hit me like a truck that I’m a woman and I was the whole time and I want to transition. All the pieces finally came together (there were so many signs) and I just couldn’t ignore it anymore. For me it took that final push even after accepting transness in general, so you can imagine how hard it would be for someone who literally does hate trans people and think we’re broken scum. Whatever they’re experiencing can’t be being trans in their mind because trans people are those broken other people.
