Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Forest of Thorns

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #forest of thorns #enchanted dominion #realm of darkness #scenery #my gif #it's cool to see this world become more gnarled and dismal as you progress #vines constantly shoot out of the ground to block your path as if this forest is alive in some way #and the further you go the more darksides you encounter #you'll have to fight the ones standing in your way but there are so many more that are just lurking on the sidelines #they wont attack you even if you get close. instead they'll just stand by and watch you delve deeper into the forest #you can see their heads turn to follow your movement as you walk past them it's kind of spooky #can't help but wonder why so many are grouping up here it's really unusual #for the most part they seem peaceful but there are a few that lunge at you unexpectedly #very cool world i love wandering around here

everything is still so good!!! heartbeat is super fast and strong and is now firmly in the upper band of healthy/normal. behold the little seahorse (now less seahorse-y because its tail is almost gone) floating around in there attached to its little yolk sac inner tube!!

#pregnancy tag #iui tag #my doctor is being super nice about my pregnancy anxieties #she was like even when you switch to prenatal care you can come in anytime for a quick scan to see the heartbeat/reassure yourself #it's no big deal and we'd rather you felt secure than stressed #i am going to try to wean myself off needing to see regular scans #according to this one study my chances of a live birth rise to 98% after seeing a strong heartbeat at 8 weeks #so i think i am just like... barring disaster... having a kid #i think my body is just like... growing a baby #and seems to be doing it with minimal fuss so far lol. i don't feel unusually fatigued #and i'm only mildly nauseous some days some of the time #aaaaaa ok. well. here we are #moving forward!!!

150 years ago, a boy was born to my great-great grandmother. And that was the last time that happened anywhere on my maternal line until my son was born in 2016. This is a story about intersex people.

For 150 years, the women of my family kept having daughters, who either also had daughters, or they were oddly unable to have children. Strange quirk, we assumed. No boys.

In the late 1970s, my mother’s sister had a daughter with Down Syndrome. Genetic testing was done, and it was discovered that although she looked female, she actually possessed the male XY chromosome combination. Her sister was born three years later. And because of that genetic concern, her genes were checked. And she possessed … the XY chromosomes. A third daughter, born a few years later, possessed the usual XX.

Keeping in the tradition, my mother had two daughters. Because of our cousins’ genetic conditions, my sister and I were both checked. Both of us appeared typically XX. And so for more than thirty years, it was dismissed as a quirk, and no one said the word intersex because that wasn’t a thing in 1980.

In 2016 I had a son, breaking the chain of girls. It was an interesting story! I then had two daughters, and didn’t bother to do any genetic checking.

And then in 2020 my sister became pregnant. Early genetic testing said boy, XY. Twenty week anatomy scan said girl. Definitely 100% girl. Uhhh?! As expected, she*** was born genetically male, possessing only male gonads in the form of undescended testes, but female external genitalia.

It was Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, a genetic mutation carried on the X chromosome. See, all bodies start female. Then, when the hormonal influence of the Y chromosome kicks in, instructions on the X are supposed to detect the testosterone and create male genitalia. Except a person with AIS is non-reactive to testosterone, and the body stays, at least superficially, female. Genetic check would say boy. Presence of testes says boy. Pants check says girl. Making the question of sex (sex. Gender is something else, ok?) distinctly complicated.

If someone has a mother who is a carrier of AIS, there are 4 possibilities. Unaffected XY, and so genetically and structurally male. Affected XY, and so intersex. Affected XX, and so a female carrier. Unaffected XX female and entirely unaffected.

My grandmother was a carrier. My aunt and mother are carriers. My sister is a carrier. When my niece was born, my single non-intersex cousin and I did genetic testing. And we are both carriers as well. My son is an unaffected XY male. My niece is affected XY intersex. Both my cousin and I also have 2 daughters each. And, because it is medically and psychologically relevant, we had them tested. All XX.****

And I was ready to check one more thing: are my daughters carriers? There is a 50/50 chance. And then I stopped, because they are preschoolers, and that is their reproductive decision. They know three intersex people. And if they care, someday they can check their genes and the odds that my grandchildren will be intersex. The intersex people they know will, I hope, be able to talk to them about the beauty of their lives as one of the wonderful variations of humanity.

#***both of my adult intersex cousins identify as the female gender. For now so does my two year old niece pending future choices. #****the discovery that one is intersex is sometimes not made until puberty (doesn’t happen) or beyond. #Unusually in my family it is a part of their story from birth #intersex #androgen insensitivity syndrome

headcanon on visenya’s specific dragon-like features:

- her almond shaped eyes that closely resemble a dragons

- the various patches of skin that look like dragon scales on her body. it’s often mistaken for greyscale. she has a larger patch of it on her back, some crawling up her neck from her collarbone, and various patches on her legs, stomach, and hands.

- on her back she has two little dimple marks where a hatchlings wings would be.

- her higher, slightly hollowed cheekbones.

- her slender fingers coupled with her long, pointed nails. this almost gives the illusion of claws and are similar shaped to a dragons foot.

- some of her teeth, the ones we’d associate with where fangs would be on a vampire but maybe a tooth or two back, she has teeth that look sharper, less rounded than normal teeth.

- her birthmark that , again , looks like dragons skin.

- the discoloration of her right eye , another birthmark or birth defect. it matches, exactly, to her dragon with her white being black and the purple eye color.

#headcanon: visenya iii targaryen #this itches my brain #it makes me go brrr #leaning into that sometimes targ women give birth to dragon like babies #unusual looking targaryens ! #that fact in canon she was born looking dragon like and so I am sprinting with it #it’s so interesting for me to imagine #does all of this make her look like a freak? NO SHES BEAUTIFUL #hotd //

im actually considering transing the name m.a.’s gender and adopting it irl in place of my birth name

#i LOVE my birth name sm i feel like it truly represents me but unfortunately its a ‘feminine’ name #even though its entirely nonbinary To Me. #also it doesnt have a masculine counterpart that i can adopt so thats out #theres a very similar masculine name i like but its kind of unusual plus its originally jewish so idk how i feel about having a jewish name #as an extremely culturally catholic person. i mean plenty of common ass names like sara are jewish but this one is rare & pretty biblical #so idk. m.a. stands for what was almost my name and then wasnt and i use it here as kind of an inside joke bc it would have been #pretty pretentious even though i like it ok ill say it its maria antonietta I almost got alled maria antonietta lol #idk what i would trans it to skckskkddkdk marcantonio? mariangelo? lmao

someday i'm gonna write something about how futurama is such a rich series from a "literally all three protagonists are disabled in some way and parts of this show are such a disability power fantasy" perspective

#like fry is a canonically audhd character played by an audhd actor who has synthesesia and dexterity issues #and has survived five heart attacks #and whose 'brain thing' (aka his neurodivergency) is the literal key to saving the world on multiple occasions #like god. the most important person in the universe is and always ill be this disabled guy with a good heart #(morally i mean. like i said five heart attacks) #and then leela is a physically disabled woman who was been defined her whole life by her facial defect #who learns that her whole family is actually disabled (mutated) and starts fighting like HELL for them #and whose life was turned upside down because her society was treating her and those with her birth defects like scum #to the point her parents had to give her up and try to pass her off as an alien instead of a disabled human just to make sure she had right #AND she has some severe anger issues and a whole boatload of mental illnesses #and some incredibly clear trauma from the ableism she's faced #but she's still incredibly loved and desired and competent! #and then there's bender who has a whole section of his wiki dedicated to the bugs and glitches he has #who was born without a backup drive which to robots is absolutely a disability #who has a faulty inhibition chip #also he unusual empathy emotions and thought processes from both a human and robot perspective #like he doesn't experience empathy in the same way humans do but he also has free will unlike literally every other robot #and has moments where he's clearly feeling things in a way a lot of other robots in the series don't #(sometimes played for laughs like the 'as a robot i don't have emotions and that makes me very sad' line) #but also often taken seriously #not to mention the whole point of lethal inspection where bender finds out he has a factory defect #and wants to find and yell at the guy who approved him even though he was mortal-- a defect by robot standards

☆ Can we please talk about my poor guy having back problems??? Thank you. ☆

Look at this sad, pathetic excuse for a chair my honey has to deal with for a majority of the day. Darling, let me trade you, gamer chair isn't great for ergonomics either, but anything is better than this hell scape you put yourself through on a daily basis. No wonder he opts to go to the internet cafe as often as he does. Is this some twisted part of his masochism? Honey... there are other ways, you don't have to do this to yourself.

I just know Barbara Gordon’s pet growing up would have been two gold fish that her uncle Jim got her.

she would get SO annoyed anytime jim messes up and calls one fish the other's name too...

(also, he tries his hardest to tell them apart, really, but also just... its two goldfish. what the hell do you mean ‘you can just tell’??)

#i also like thinking she was a mouse/rat kid.... #i have a slightly weird headcanon for older! babs and how she ends up having a parrot too #also stay with me ok?? but young babs seeing an alleyway cat with a hurt leg and torn ear and #just going to jim. the ‘dad — uncle jim! please! it obviously needs help!!’ but jim puts his foot down. the house is cramped enough #and a stray cant be around an infant! what if the cat has something and scratches or bites?! absolutely not. #he gets home from work & ofc has the cat bc she had watery eyes and the poor girl did just lose her only family member and had to leave #her friends and home and everything she once had. even her own name is no longer her own.... #she deserves something thatd make her happy and make gotham feel like a home... #but huh. for an alleyway cat it sure is quite fat huh? im sure its nothing unusual and hey it is kinda cute! :) #it gives birth to 5 kittens under his bed that night because of fucking course it does #jim is so fucking tired guys. he ends up asking his weird masked friend if he knew anyone thatd want a kitten in 8ish weeks. #when given the choice; babs decides to keep the mama instead of just a kitten. (jim secretly bonds with a kitten and keeps one anyways :)) #i just think she deserves an old rescue cat... she spoils it and rants to it and it keeps her grounded to reality in a way :33 #barbara gordon #uncle gordon #thank u for the ask anon!! this is a cute hc i am officially adopting it >:33 #<- more like of-fish-ially.... #sorry.

first up on the infinite list of new trek things i’m too obsessed with to articulate clearly: tallinn star trek 😍, and how she’s definitely related to laris, and specifically how the supervisors are descendants of people taken from their respective planets six thousand years ago -- so, how did tallinn’s genes get reintegrated into romulan society?

did one of tallinn’s close relatives get assigned to protect someone on romulus but they abandoned their mission? or completed their mission and didn’t leave?? and then had a CHILD on romulus??? was it maybe even with the person they were sent to protect, who is never supposed to see them??? is there an empty branch in laris’s family tree that picard’s about to fill in for her? this sounds like a major supervisor scandal and i CRAVE gossip.

#it's possible having mystery relatives isn't even that unusual on romulus #''you could put the word secret in front of any aspect of romulan society'' and that includes grandma's name and place of birth #and also thinking about how tallinn gently violated the rules in order to talk to renee #and laris left (!) the tal shiar (!!) to go make wine on earth #so bucking the system is also part of that genetic line #i really did think tallinn was going to somehow end up being laris because of a memory wipe or something right up until the end #star trek picard #star trek thoughts

Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A Fragmentary Passage - Depths of Darkness

#kingdom hearts 0.2 birth by sleep a fragmentary passage #kh0.2 #depths of darkness #realm of darkness #my gif #they did a good job making the realm of darkness look distinct from the realm of light #because this place really does feel like nowhere we've ever been before #the rocky pathways with no sign of organic life make me feel like i'm on the moon or an alien planet #it's interesting how fallen worlds feel like they're all stitched together between areas like this #aqua can simply walk from place to place without needing a ship or keyblade glider to fly her to a new world #though who's to say how long it takes her to do all of that #as if the realm of darkness is one big ever growing expanse of land without any known boundaries between worlds #we know that all worlds used to be connected in the realm of light long ago and i'm guessing that's the case in the realm of darkness #it's never been split or fractured by keyblade wielders so it still follows its own rules and laws of nature #that'd be pretty interesting #we see this area start as a rocky wasteland that transitions into flat sandy terrain from the destiny islands #but you have to walk through a huge blinding light to get there first which is really unusual #it makes me think of how terra and aqua were guided to destiny islands by a bright light #and how destiny islands appears as a ball of light on the world select menu in bbs #but why portray it that way? we've been shown before what the world of destiny islands looks like from afar with the CoM world cards #and it's not like they even needed to include it on the world select screen in bbs because it's not a world you can even visit on your own #i don't know what it's all supposed to mean yet but #i believe the islands are more significant than we know at this time and this game continues to raise a lot of questions #it's certainly called 'destiny' islands for a reason

when a woman on this site says they dislike children and don’t want to be around them and don’t want to be around adults who have actively made the decision to bring children into this fucked up world, y’all act like they said “i’m going to tell every child i personally encounter to go fuck themselves and every woman i know with a child to eat shit and die.”

headcanon: ricky's name was a nickname his dad gave him based off his deadname when he was little, and he hung onto it extra hard after he left. it stuck over the years until he came out at fourteen and made it official, and while he has a lot of mixed feelings about his name--ranging from the baggage of how he got it, to the relief of how much easier it having already been his nickname made his transition--it's his and he's proud of it.

#sdmi #scooby doo: mystery incorporated #ricky owens #trans ricky or bust #those flashbacks are the Most Baby Transmasc on First Year of Hormones Voice and Facial Hair #i'm just saying man #i think he was just unusually Focking Tall and Lanky to start with and that's why he passes as easily as he does that early on #even though he didn't start T until after he'd been through a few years of estrogen-dominant puberty first #assigned long long man at birth

Being Sukuna’s Pregnant Wife and being worshipped as a diety because you were able to conceive the four armed hulking cursed child, you must have the blessing of fertility

Having a shrine erected in your name because barren women believed you’d bless them with fertility despite your legacy starting with the child of the curse that torments them all

Telling your hand maids “Don’t bring me my clothes, bring me one of the kings robes.” The hand maids flinching and wanting to protest out of fear of taking the King of Curses robes

The poor naive young hand maid that had grown a crush on the king excitedly rushing if it meant she could enter the private bed chambers,

Scoffing with a malicious smile to your loyal maids when they shook their heads with Sympathy, they learned long before at such a request it would be foolish to go alone, at least 2 or 3 of them would need to go in your name, preferably the ones your husband recognized to be by your side the longest. But you didn’t like this new girl, she was too enthusiastic to work at the palace only to have a complete change in character when she learned she was assigned to work for you

“It’ll serve that poor girl right” you looked away from the door when your loyal hand maids brought out a wooden box with one of Sukuna’s folded Kimono’s they helped you dress your swollen belly accentuated by the belt the kimono tailored to fit your husband left you with extra space and length, it was far more comfortable then the Kimono’s and robes you were, the lingering smell of your husband with comforting as your rubbed your belly hands barely peeking from the massive sleeves

“Let’s go see my husband.” Was all you said as you started your walk, the maids followed close as you made it to the bed chambers, the door was open, you looked in, Sukuna sneering down at the girl laying in a pool of blood, Uraume was making quick work of the mess

Sukuna’s snapped to you and his arm’s opening in an unusual display of affection, you walked around the mess to reach him, he pulled you into his left side, one hand on your waist the other making you face him, bring his right hand up he rested his hand on your stomach “Some of your maids need a lesson on how to speak to their king,” he looked away from your face to your stomach as he started to move his hands in circles “So swollen with my child, it’s no wonder you send your maids to steal my robes.”

You smack his shoulder with a playful smile and he chuckled “Don’t say it like that you make me feel bigger than i am.”

“Now,” he looked up at your face again, “why are you here.”

You tilted your head to the side, “I started contractions this morning, I’ve been in pain all day and I’m barely standing, my new maid wouldn’t stop speaking so highly of my husband accomplishing having a child when I was at my worst pain level getting ready to push out YOUR child that I HAD to carry. Anyhow I came to get you because he is ready to come.”

Sukuna stared down at you confused “How do you know it’s a boy?”

“I’m his mother,” he watched as you placed your hand over his stilling his rubbing of your stomach, “I knew he was a boy from the day your seed took.”

Sukuna smirked “Is that so? Then let’s see this boy.”

🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤❤️❤️❤️🖤

After an hour of fighting the doctor tending to your birth you gave birth to your lively son, born screaming without needing stimulation to cry form the doctor. Your husband couldn’t help but laugh when he saw his child in his full glory, he was a boy indeed.

The help immediately gave you your son and you cooed at him when he took to your breast, your husband taking blankets from the maids and covered your son also covering you in the process as you struggled a bit to pass what came next. Your son a spitting image of his father, your breathy laugh caught Sukuna’s attention as he came back to your bed side stroking your hair and rubbing your stomach the way the help had been doing.

“What amuses you?” He watched his son slowly close his eyes as you coddled him closer.

“I’m the one who had to carry him for so long, and the ingrate took nothing from me.” You smiled and shook your head before looking up at Sukuna.

Soon the doctor left after clearing you of any possible issues and checking your son. “His name?” You looked at Sukuna and he sighed “Yuji”

The look of adoration in your eyes was something Sukuna would’ve wanted to capture forever if he could express the sentiment. However for now he’d settle for memorizing every detail of today. His wife birthing his first heir, the name she had chosen he permitted.

Maybe just maybe this world wasn’t so bad

Thankfully it hasn't happened yet but I'm fully prepared to play the "I might have brain damage" card if I fuck up this quarter. Because like. Yeah I'm not getting sicker, i'm not in danger, nothing like that, but MAN that has been dominating my thoughts as of late. I can't imagine anyone going to a doctor and hearing "It's possible that your brain was injured as an infant and nobody noticed for nearly 26 years, and if that's not it, you might have an incredibly rare vitamin deficiency instead" and having that NOT take over their mind a little bit, y'know. I think I'm allowed to forget about an essay

#i was asking my mom questions abt my early infancy and apparently I got super sick and lost a LOT of weight right after being born #And the brain damage thing suggested was like. If you had an unusually low birth weight. Which isn't exactly my case but it's still. hmm #Brainposting
