IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)

On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!

Do you love transgenders?

Do you love communism?

Do you love queer romance?

Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?

Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?

Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?

All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~

Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY

The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists pigmask-off , Zionists hamas-base (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) lenin-dont-laugh in Bosporus, and the monarchs gui-trans of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.

On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union soviet-chad is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain left-unity-4 )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human bridget-disco , Shimmi kbity-how (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran transshork-happy (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.

First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist three-heads-thinking leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home chad-stalin , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light. specter

As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...

And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.

Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands

All are Communists steban

All serve the Union USSR

All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism comrade-stoic

but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt

Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

Can they kiss? (oh my god please kiss ISTG THERE IS SO MUCH SHIPPING AHHHH ITS GLORIOUS)

FIND OUT HERE: https://unjustdepths.com/

dysphoria, sadI obviously expected my dysphoria would get worse after cracking but kitty-cri It just keeps getting slowly worse and worse. The contrast is awful. I always need something to help me get through.
spoiler self harm talk god, please why does it have to scar like that. Despite what I might want, there is no magic new body coming. I'll be in this fucking thing forever, may as well not mark it all up. If bodies healed just a little bit better... only thing that keeps me from doing it all the time. ::: edit: I am feeling better right now, no need to worry.

OH SHIT ONE GOT THROUGHUh is gender transgression a privilege? Like as in doing transgressive things, standing out in public Idk.

Okay so like Probably Not, but this keeps gnawing at my brain. If you are part of other marginalised groups, I feel like doing gender transgression (visibly) becomes way way more dangerous in our hellworld, Idk. I know this is probably me shamefully showing my ass, someone tell me what to read about this pls.

::: spoiler venting about sounds Im about tofight the rail companies. idk why but tonight the freight trains are extra loud and annoying and disturbing. And its too hot to have my window closed, and I hate the way my whole room vibrates when they go by. Its at least 2 per hour at this point, and i guess I'm extra sensitive today. They go too fast and have to break really hard outside my window, and it screeches and makes me want to redacted-1redacted-2 someone from the sounds, or pull my nails across my spine until the I break through my vertebrae to make the sound get out of me. I am so done with living here. I need out, I need out, I need out. I deserve to live in the fucking forest with all the nice trees and I could talk to them and sit under their branches. Imma move into the woods and live off tubers and grubs idc anymore.

CW: Questions about masturbation and pornography. Spoilers for Nevada.Reading Nevada (only up to the beginning of part 2, page 177), one thing that I'm struck by, and haven't necessarily seen elsewhere, is the description of frequent masturbation by both Maria and James. Maria (pre-transition) and James are both described to masturbate on a daily basis. Something that I was also doing basically throughout my entire 20s. I can relate especially to James's experience of starting off with "vanilla" pornography, and then switching to caption pornography to actually finish.

To not get into too much detail, I am curious if this is a particular experience for the characters/the author, or does this reflect more broadly for trans people? I guess it doesn't really matter either way, but it's never something I've seen come up before in trans (well, maybe more accurately gender questioning) resources.

One thing that I find interesting, is just coming out (to myself) has been enough to change my libido and habits. Where masturbation is something that I would do 1-2 times a day, I've only masturbated once over the past week. My appetite has also completely changed. I had a habit of compulsively grazing and cleaning my plate, but I have been recognizing when I'm full and it's much easier to control my calorie intake. I don't know if this is just due to keeping a detailed diary and engaging in much more self-reflection, the effects of depression from dysphoria (although I generally feel happier), or breaking free from sexual/gender repression.

Finished Nevada yesterday.

Returned the Hannah Arendt book for Who's Afraid of Gender. Which was what I actually wanted but it was under women's studies, instead of philosophy with Judith's other books. This time I asked the attendant if they had it.

Orange book is next on my list.

Do we have a trans media recommendation thread btw? I read the gender accelerationist manifesto, fucking trans women, watched I saw the TV glow, and now Nevada.
