I need to see more anti-ableism narratives from people fighting for reproductive rights. Too often, you see people talking about how abortions are necessary so parents aren't "burdened" with disabled children or insinuating all mentally ill people who need reproductive rights need abortions because they're "not fit" to raise children. Especially women struggling with addiction.
It's so exhausting to see disabled folks thrown under the bus in an attempt to raise up pro-abortion sentiment as if it's not easier enough to not throw us under the bus.
Like, fuck that. Focus on bodily autonomy, focus on misogyny, focus on the ableism within the "pro life" narrative and fight the ableism within your own. You can only strengthen your message by clearing it of bigotry (distractions) and making it more clear who your accomplices and allies are.

as a recovering addict the way the walten files portrays felix's battle with alcoholism is so 👌👌👌
felix is not a bad person because he's an addict, he's a bad person because he's a coward, a liar, and his disastrous attempts to cover up what he's done. the alcohol impairs him and is killing him slowly, but ultimately his choices are his.
the message i get from twf is not that mental illness and addiction make you a bad person, but sometimes people who are hurting turn to bad coping mechanisms and end up hurting everyone around them. and it's up to them to do the work to change, but felix is such a coward and his self loathing is so deep, he can't bring himself to. so he digs the hole deeper. and as someone recovering from a substance use problem this means a lot to me

Bpd culture is having people not seem to understand just how early your symptoms started. Like this disorder didn’t just appear one day, it was slowly built up from all the shit i went through as a kid. And because it developed when I was a kid obviously I was exhibiting symptoms as a kid. I never got a happy and innocent childhood. While my classmates were watching cartoons and eating cookies I was trying to hang myself with jump ropes and developing a masterbation addiction. -🧷

Imagine, just picture it! Try not to cry.
JonDami idea! MusicianDamian! Damian sings Heather (by Conan Gray) about his feelings for Jon and a girl. Posts it online anonymously, and it blows up.
And add extra heartbreak on top of that! Damian has to watch Jon dance with "Heather" to the song he made at a Gala.
Could let Damian have his heartbreak moment and then have a total glow up and pull a Skater boy.
Or!
MoreAngst! Some music people offer Damian a deal, and he takes it cause he's heartbroken and kinda depressed. So he becomes a famous performer(under mask). Instead of a glow up,his mental health declines, and he falls into the toxic party scene and addiction.
(I heard the song Heather's by Conan Gray and JonDami brain rot took over)

the way that some people talk about substance use and addiction is so harmful and destructive. it shouldn't be difficult to treat people who use substances like human beings and yet there are people who act like it's a moral failing or loss of humanity when someone experiences addiction
so here's your reminder that using substances doesn't make someone a bad person or unworthy of respect and support. treat us like the human beings that we are, it's not that complicated.

Blue from Animator vs. Animation/Animation vs. Minecraft would turn into a witch in Puella Magi Madoka Magica!
Cause of Witchification: Though he isn't afraid of engaging in combat, he is the most, let's say, conflict-averse of his gang. While this trait of his would translate to him taking better care of his soul gem than the rest of the Stick Gang would, you have to know that your powers will drain over time, especially in stressful situations; he needs to place his well-being first in order to survive. Also, his ability to recover from the knowledge that witches and magi are one and the same is...debatable, to say the least.
He also presents susceptibility to addictive behavior, as evident by his obsession with Nether Wart; a flaw so destructive to himself and those around him that it had caused a fair share of problems within the narrative, especially the entire main conflict of AvM's third season.

some of the less pretty parts of plurality
we talk a lot on this blog about the funny or nice parts of being plural, but there's also a lot of bad shit that can come with it. it's not all good, just like it's not all bad. it just is! sometimes, seeing posts like this makes us feel a little better, knowing we aren't alone in these struggles and seeing other people who have come through it, so, here's this
this is going to require a lot of me being vulnerable on the internet lmao
everything is going under a cut, and i'm marking applicable TW and CWs here as well as in the tags. i tried to keep it as light as possible (if there's any tags i missed, PLEASE do let me know and i'll add them ASAP /gen)
(this is also quite a long post, under the cut the word count is: 437)
WARNINGS: addiction mentions, physical illness, exotrauma mentions
-) developing an addiction/dependency that everyone has to manage, due to one headmate's actions
-) trying to collectively recover from addiction when not everyone wants to, and some headmates actively working against the progress and goals
-) more specifically, having to maintain a clean streak for everyone, not just one individual. not just yourself. we have an agreement- we stick together with this stuff
-) headmates who actively dislike people we know, and generally collectively like, and having to manage and ignore secondhand emotions towards those people when the headmates in question are around (not to say, ignoring how those headmates feel about people, but moreso not letting the emotions bleed through into our own interactions)
-) panicking because your job directly relates to helping other headmates, and despite your best efforts, things keep getting worse (not directly applicable to me who is writing this -host)
-) having to agree with headmates, who have done nothing wrong, that they can't be around front, because they're symptom holders, and the body is ill enough all the time that we physically can't handle them fronting
-) fighting. constant fighting. i can't think of a day since our syscovery that there hasn't been some sort of fight, argument, breakdown, violence, some sort of incident internally
-) so many headmates with so much exotrauma. some of their triggers have bled into our collective triggers, and holy shit is it hard to explain thost to people who don't understand exomemories, or even who don't know about the system
-) having to watch littles who are far too young for any of this experience this whole ordeal
-) "Atlantis" by Seafret. it's about an extremely different topic, but the lyrics hit home. "i can't save us, my atlantis, we fall. we built this town on shaky ground." because holy fuck, it feels that way sometimes
several of these things are now managed, several are not. being human is a weird, messy, fucked up experience, and when you shove a bunch of consciousnesses into one human body, it gets even more convoluted
whoever you are, whatever reason you might have for reading this: i love you. you are not alone in your struggles. you have support from so many places, and you will get through whatever you're currently experiencing, be it so simple as your favourite pencil breaking, all the way to personal tragedy. you are loved
-the host (he/they), expressing thoughts of the collective
(scheduling this to post outside of the queue because our content is usually much more lighthearted than this and i don't want to take up a spot for that)

Idia, Crowley, and Blot
Slowly chipping away at some more Crowley theories made me realize some of the potential similarities between Idia and Crowley’s appearance 🤔 At first glance, they look as different as night and day, but looking closely, there are two similarities seen in their faces.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Very few characters in TWST have actual yellow eyes, not including the golden/hazel eyes. The Tweels have their one yellow eye each, but even their eyes have flecks of green and brown in them (but they still count). Chenya has eyes that look like a cats, so I don’t really count him? It makes me wonder if certain species of Mermen and Beastmen are more likely to have a certain eye or hair color 🤔
ANYWAY, the point is, very few characters have these shocking yellow eyes, and the Tweels and Chenya are already fairly unique characters. It’s interesting how these three are not completely human.
But then the other three are Idia, Ortho, and Crowley.
Tumblr media
We have yet to see what Idia’s father looks like under his Daft Punk mask, but I have a feelings that he will have yellow eyes. The Shroud family curse in general gives them unnatural and ‘frightening’ features such as sharp teeth, blue lips, firey hair, and potentially glowing yellow eyes.
I’m being generous with the “glowing” part, but from what I’ve generally seen of the card art, Idia’s eyes are a lot more noticeable even if he’s in dark places. Very few characters have their eyes glow in their art, and it’s usually because they aren’t fully human as well, e.g Lilia and Malleus, who are both Fae.
And then there’s Crowley, with his glowing yellow eyes and dark lips 🤔 I personally believe Crowley is under an semi-Overblot state rather than a curse, but his unnatural eyes are very…well, unnatural, and also gives more evidence for him being a Fae like Lilia and Malleus
Tumblr media
But Idia’s Overblot was extremely unique. Unlike all the other Overblots in there game, Idia had remarkable control and reason. Sure, he was still driven by not-so-good motives, but he could think and plan a lot more consciously than the other Overblots. Overblotting was made to sound like mages were driven to their lowest, animalistic instincts, but Idia Overblotted with a purpose (most Overblots are triggered by accident) and with strong knowledge of blot in general.
Also, it’s interesting to note that blot almost seems to be…addicting? What first tipped me off was how Idia said “overblotting was such a rush.” Overblotters tend to go mad with power, and the Phantoms themselves feed off the blot, which in turn makes mages instinctively produce more blot. But Idia, who had more control over himself, seemed to genuinely be powered up by the blot instead of slowly being consumed by a Phantom. It gave him power, drive, confidence. A complete rush.
Tumblr media
Grim is a whole ‘bother can of worms (can of tuna?), but he also seems very addicted to the blot crystals. There’s definitely something that drives him toward blot, but it is unknown so far.
Overblot seems to have a spectrum, and it makes me wonder where Crowley falls into it 🤔 I really think that Crowley is causing the Overblots, but who knows the reason behind it. Perhaps he’s drawn to the blot, or gets more powerful from it?
And who knows, perhaps Crowley is trapped in a semi-Overblot state BECAUSE of a curse. I think Crowley draws inspiration from Diablo the raven, as remember how Diablo was turned into stone at the end. It’s also been proven that magic can last for literally hundreds of years. Curses and Blessings have started to become relevant in Book 6, and REALLY prominent in Book 7. Perhaps it’s leading up to something related to Crowley?
As usual, I don’t know \(//∇//)\ It’s all speculation, but I’m working on another post about Crowley’s potential connection to Jupiter Conglomerate/Olympus Inc/STYX, so I don’t think the similarities are coincidental 🤔

Well, then I just get to ask you this one >:)
❌ [Cross] What would your WIP get cancelled on Twitter for?
Oh I was hoping to get this one it’s hilarious :)
(From this ask game here)
Content warnings for mentions of addiction, sex, and sexual violence
For Seven Station Chronicles:
Everything about Narcissus. They’d be fine up until they learned the cunty villain was actually doing genuinely bad things and then shit would go down
Rhys and Nellie being a thing. I think Rhys being a clone of Belladonna’s dad (and Nellie a clone of her fiancé) would be the end of Twitter
Shen (and Stellaris in book 2 to a lesser extent). I haven’t talked about Shen much because you don’t meet him until book 3 but he’s a mentally disabled adult who rightfully demands to be treated like an adult and I don’t think Twitter would be able to handle him. Stellaris for the same reason, he’s autistic but refuses to be infantilized
Nellie (and [REDACTED], for spoilers). Both very nice, kind people who are also recovering addicts
As for the Pirates’ Roost:
Malcolm’s trauma-related temper. He’s generally a pretty nice guy but when he snaps he’s mean
Don Andres - again I haven’t talked about him but he’s a victim of sexual violence whose trauma response is hypersexuality
Everything about Tatum. Their complex relationship with being a victim who was forced to hurt others and all their shit around that I don’t think would be too popular. If they ended up getting sympathy and forgiveness, the fact that Malcolm doesn’t forgive them would not go over well
I think that’s most of them :). Thank you for the ask, I love getting cancelled on Twitter (joking)

am like, generally the type person that people on here would be like "damn you're lame* and suck".
n only a few would retract when realize am literally "lame" n disabled. which... ok.
like:
am allergic to alcohol ("alcohol intolerance" that cause pain and temporary partial paralysis. am prone to addiction / self-destructive tendency), and will choose reject drinks n try stay sober. -
sure, kissed girls starting kindergarten n multiple peers had crushes on magz as kid and teen, but am not doing much as an adult. usually, cuz don't want to ? also trauma. so am choose often not to. -
usually, if go to parties or the night club (ignoring disability issues for sec), will get so pissed and bad mood that have to restrain self from do violence from people even talk to us. so am choose not go. -
[insert whatever else thing people make fun of]
n is like ... if you're having fun with what you do,
even if someone else not into it, does not matter if someone else that not judging you - not want participate, right? regardless of why they don't.
cuz otherwise we end up with jokes that look like overcompensating about "am cool unlike these losers",
or worse - have another harassment campaigns n posts/tweets making fun of.
like what happened to the 15yo nb trans girl that got outed to her transphobic abusive parents for saying "dad offered alchohol. um, am just 15" n everyone thinking that was "lame" n deserved mocking - including adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s.
which am still shocked magz had to call that behavior n point out the damage that did that time.
so like, just remember to be careful with "needing to prove you're better" than people on tumblr of all places, for stuff that not matter.

I don’t mean to undermine your feelings but, as a neurodivergent person (adhd, autism, and ocd), my addiction was definitely exacerbated by my conditions. People with adhd and austim are more likely to abuse when addicted, and use drugs as a way to self-medicate and regulate depending on if its a stimulant. I think you might have jumped too conclusions about the context.
"I don't mean to undermine your feelings" -> proceeds to undermine my feelings. Lol. But lemme be nice. I think you're misunderstanding the issue I have with it, which is fair, based off just a few irritated sentences I posted. So let me explain.
I personally think that has no place as an entire module in the mod. On a basic level, I think it's classic mod scope creep and what was initially marketed as a mod to have neurodivergency in your game is becoming something totally different. I think the fact that it's paywalled treats us like some trending topic to make money off of, boxes that can be ticked off as ever expanding "features" with each new update, especially with the poll itself being paywalled. And I think the way you're explaining it is a bit of a reach and an assumption to how the creator would make it & highly doubt, from what I've seen of the mod so far, it would be implemented in a respectful way. I have used all their mods and I'm very familiar with them. I'm already not a fan of the way they implement eating disorders into their mods, for example, so I don't think it's jumping to conclusions to think this would be similar.
Let me be clear, this is not an issue of me saying ND people with addictions don't exist or shouldn't be represented ever. That isn't the problem I have with it. Some ND people abuse, yes. Some ND people use drugs to self-medicate, yes. Do I think it has a place in this mod and would be implemented in a way that wouldn't stigmatize us more? No. Leave the drug and addiction content to Basemental if that's what people want (they already have addiction, stimulants, and adhd there, for better or for worse) and let us have this one mod where we're not immediately associated with the meds we take. Wouldn't that be nice, just for once?
That's just my opinion though and you're free to have yours. I doubt adi will change anything about it based on what non-paying ND people have to say, and they don't have to, so it's all just me rambling in my own space really.

I'm going to scream into the void right now. I don't expect much response in return, I'm more or less using my blog as a medium to explain my emotions to myself. What I'm thinking and what I'm feeling after having a difficult past few days.
For context: My partner of four and half years and I have separated on good terms, fair terms, and I'm not really sure what to do. Toward the end of this relationship, I had found myself predicting every possible situation and where every outburst might potentially occur. They were an explosive person, but not in a malicious way, more so in a way that they didn't know how to control. We decided it would be best if they left to learn how to control it.
At the moment, we're taking a weeklong break of no contact, maybe longer, but that's what they've told me before we start conversating again and start on the road to becoming friends. I'm, again, putting this on the blog because I don't have any specific person I can confide in about how I'm thinking and feeling about this large change in my life. They were everything to me, legitimately the only person I had to go to for things like that.
When you know someone for that amount of time, when you're as young as I am, knowing someone for four and a half years takes up a lot of time in the mind. From the point right before I started my freshman year of high school, to eventually now, where I'm almost a year out of school. And when you talk to the same person pretty much every day, there's this thing that happens, especially to folks like me that have brains wired in strange ways, to where everything all the time at every point of everyday centers around them. A dependence. An addiction.
I was hurting, I am consciously aware of my situation and I am consciously happy to get out of what I know is a bad situation, but my soul aches for just one more conversation, one more word, one more stupid meme that will give me that hit of dopamine that reassures me, "There's someone who cares about you."
It's very strange to be so attached to a person, like you have no idea what to do when they're suddenly ripped from you. I'm depending on them to make me feel worthy of everything that I have ever done or have ever thought of doing. And now that security is gone, and now I have to be brave enough to confide in someone else, learning along the way that I cannot depend on a single outside piece of reassurance constantly.
Somehow, with a mind that has been constructed only to be able to love myself whenever outside sources tell me that I should because of the things that I can do. How talented I am, how smart I am, how wise and thoughtful I am. Somehow, that mind has to find that outside source from within and at the moment, that sounds downright near impossible.
My mind has also been made to solve problems. I'm not very book smart, but I figure myself to be emotionally intelligent enough to try to help and encourage other people, and more recently, that includes myself. I've been trying to keep up with taking care of myself physically and emotionally. But there are going to be moments where I fall and feel like in that moment, I can't get back up without help. And it's good to need people, but I need my circle to be more than just one dependent who does all the work.
Loneliness is difficult. I've faced loneliness for most of my life. People don't want to be your friend on the playground when you're odd and prefer your own company. Even in the company that I did find when I was young, they eventually went away. I've moved over nine times in the span of 18 years and it's not a fun experience having to uproot the life you made every couple of years to leave and start a new one. That means leaving people behind.
But recently with the power of technology, I had been able to keep up with my partner. I was fourteen when I got my first legitimate smart phone, and they were the only person I would talk to on it. Putting that small timeline of four years into perspective that we got together right after I received my first hand-me-down phone and now I'm on Tumblr posting Five Nights at Freddy's fanart and buying MatPat's last merch run is absolutely bonkers to think about.
That's only a small percentage of my life and I'm sitting here in agony and emotional belief this is the end of the world. Absolutely it isn't, but it's still pain that's here in the present and I have to acknowledge the present day and my emotions or else it means so much disrespect to my future and past. I didn't come this far into my life to essentially burn down all that progress, and I don't think my future is going to be so happy if I give up on it.
I have to remember, and I'll deliberately have it here to reread if I ever need it, that I'm capable. I'm capable of making change, of changing, of striving to be the best version of myself that I can comfortably be, of doing things on my own, and I'm capable of asking for help whenever I feel I need it. I need to listen to my body, my mind, and my soul so much more intently than I have before so that I don't end up in a pit of despair and disappointment. It's not good for me and it doesn't make me a pleasant person to be around.
I need to trust that the people that I love, love me. I need to remember that there are connections waiting to be explored, discovered, and cherished just as much as I cherished this person. I still do cherish and love them very deeply, I never won't. I believe people are capable of changing if they're willing to put in the work and effort, and they are a very hardworking person. But so am I.
I'm not afraid of the hurt or the aching. It's evidence of love with nowhere to go and I will cherish those feelings and I will be saving them, experiencing them. I'm more afraid of what I am going to do now. I guess the next step will be continuing to work on and toward what I'm passionate about.
I am not angry, I am not spiteful or vengeful. I simply will be forever grateful for the times and moments we shared, and the new moments we will have. Even if it is for short specks of time.
This has been a moment of peering into Poindexter's mind.

Ugh!! Elita back on the smokes again!! Major yuck!! Major turn off. Somebody needs to tell her that. Also she needs to try harder to stop. Chosen one myass!! I bet Lyra and Cat are to blame somehow!
Hi there nonny. Sorry this is gonna be long winded...again.
TLDR: Yeah, it seems she's slipped off the wagon. Addiction is not an easy wagon ride! I'm afraid for some people it's much harder than others. The gang will have relapses and struggles just like anyone else who has addictive tendances. It's not going to stop entirely anytime soon, I'm afraid.
We depict a lot of these types things. Much of mine and @helenofsimblr's writing is taken from real world examples. history, mythology and we do copious amounts of research and add about 300% creativity. Smoking (even the underage smoking) is probably the LEAST worrisome topic in this story and much worse is to come. I hope you're ready nonny... the roller coaster has just started and it's not a smooth ride... It's also completely ok to unfollow for that reason alone if smoking is your line. I promise you that we are definitely going to go beyond that, so stay safe friend! It's quite ok to stop reading. I promise we won't be offended. This story is not everyone's cup of tea and that's ok.
If you're still interested in reading and it's just that I missed adding a trigger or you'd like an additional trigger, please let me know and I will add it. Especially if it's one that you like to use... At the end of the day we're all responsible for our own mental safety on the internet... I can only provide the trigger words to block. You have to do your part. Thanks for the ask friend. I hope you have a lovely and wonderful day.
Rest is under cut with a bit more examples of differences of KSU and IRL world and informational links on medical information on addiction:
There is a key thing to remember about this story and that is that the universe (lovingly called the KSU) is a kind of alternate universe to our own, some scientific developments happened at very different times to our own and smoking science has not yet caught up to ours. In some ways, it's got sort of a sixties feel and in others, it seems like future-vision. It can be a bit confusing, so I'll provide some examples!
A big example is that the KSU recently just discovered ultrasound tech that can be used to check on fetus health and that smoking is generally bad for one's health, but the KSU has been in space for quite a long time, is well established in space and have computers and cell phones... While the real world (the one you and I live in), ultrasound has been around for a long time and is quite advanced, the anti-smoking campaign has been going on for many years with decent success. However, we in IRL we have not until recently (maybe the last 10-15 years) been able to reliably get into space and back safely in various different countries. Admittingly, I don't track all space travel, just the ones that hit the trending list of my news app.
The rest of this is for people who are struggling to understand addiction and/or are suffering or watching someone suffer with it and are looking for understanding. Please! Talk with your family doctors or google your country of origin + addiction help and you can find the help that you or a friend or family member may need.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few links that explain a bit about addiction and why it's not always just as easy as "just don't do that" or "Stop".

Here is a proper reference of one of the jesters from the post about the Doll Maker's awkward obsession. The Doll Maker has hand-made the bodies of all but two of the people in the circus besides themself, and Joseph is no exception! In his first life, he was the son of a noblewoman whose fortune had dwindled to nothing, and she pushed him to the stage very young. She kept him as sheltered and infantilized as possible so that she could keep all of the money he made up into adulthood, and did everything in her power to keep him from marrying for the same reason, until one day she died, and he was left with no life skills or financial management knowledge and he started quickly burning through all of his money and finding it harder and harder to find roles in performances. He started mixing substances one really ought not mix for the sake of recreation to take the edge off his nerves and grief, and just as things were starting to look up and he was getting his feet back under himself, he died abruptly as the curtains were closing on his first performance in months due to complications with the substances he was mixing. The Doll Maker found his death suitably tragic and dramatic, and so they gave him a second chance at life out from under his mother's thumb, but with a solid support system around him. Joseph is quite happy in the circus, and he has finally started making friends and finding lovers in his new home - Most notably, he seems to have fallen in love with one of the other jesters, a snarky incubus named Darnell. Everyone thinks they're very cute together.

Hey, hey 👋 (22F) in town hoping to get some takers for a dark & beautifully toxic plot. I’m interested in exploring a mafia or addicts in rehab angle that are yes, two plots that are not very similar to one another but both share the commonalities of drugs and people who may not have the straightest pointing moral compass. NSFW is absolutely on the table, but when done appropriately and with our wants and boundaries discussed privately. I think a legal age gap could present a super interesting relationship dynamic and I’d love for a bit of co-dependency or Stockholm to play a role in how they function. The nitty gritty of our setting is flexible, though if we want to go the rehab route I can’t imagine anything later than the 1960s unless we’re thinking about asylums. Anyways, if you’re interested, like this post and I’ll get back with you
