- ominous, low-frequency humming noises overlaid with “work, bitch” anthems
- unlistenable industrial noisecore that repeats three times with subtle variations and you’re expected to get emotional catharsis from realizing that Metallurgist #3 is becoming faster and more efficient over time, indicating his ascent into adulthood
- love songs and diss tracks are the same genre
- a country music equivalent but instead of “mama, trains, trucks, prison or gettin’ drunk”, it’s “the state, the family, gettin’ demoted, hatin’ your neighbor, and gettin’ drunk”
- impenetrably eloquent monologues over techno beats
trans guy 1: dude how did you grow an adam’s apple
trans guy 2: sheer force of will
this was from my freshman year of college, shortly after I came out, when someone sent me to hang out with these two (somehwat) older trans guys to show me that it was gonna be okay
one of them told me about how he got his gender marker changed before it was technically allowed. what he did was he waited until he grew a beard, and then he walked into the dmv and pointed at the f on his liscense and said “there’s been a mistake” and they were like “oh sorry about that sir”

[Star Trek: Voyager was not as well received as previous Star Trek series. In 1997, producers decided to add a new character in an attempt to boost ratings. Actress Jeri Ryan was brought in to play Seven of Nine. Jeri’s frequent separations from her husband, Jack Ryan, due to her acting schedule contributed to their decision to divorce in 1999.
In 2004, Jack Ryan became the Republican nominee for an open Senate seat in Illinois. During the campaign, the proceedings from Ryan’s divorce became public, and contained details of his sex life that did not make him look good.
The scandal forced Ryan to drop out of the Senate race in July, leaving the GOP time to only find token opposition to Democratic nominee Barack Obama. Obama’s landslide victory in the Senate race helped launch him onto the national stage, allowing him to pull off an upset victory in the 2008 Democratic primary and win the presidential election.
TL;DR- The lackluster writing of Star Trek: Voyager helped pave the way for the Obama presidency.]
