#clearing things up

Breaking MY silence, my final thoughts

After this post, I'm moving on to my regular operations, that is writing and memeing.

Alright, first of all, I thank everyone who came to my support. Thank you, it means a lot to me. I feel a lot better now and feel ready to write my fic ideas. Thank you for giving me a safe space.

I also appreciate @isas-bathbombs for her sporting act. We both are now cool 🤝. You should honestly be asking for more pay as PR manager.

I also thank the devs for their personal support and intervention. Your great care and enthusiasm for this fandom is what makes it thrive. Thank you so much for making Resident Lover and giving all of us this space to be free crackheads.

Next, I want to give a timeline from my perspective and clear things up. Don't worry, this isn't a accusatory or blaming post by any means. I have not unfollowed or blocked anyone, even those who don't agree with me.

A lot of people have offered their own take on what happened which were pretty accurate. However, since I was admittedly directly involved in it, I feel I should and deserve to offer things from my perspective as well.

Let's start the bullet points

I did NOT write anything that had questionable consent. Yes, I can write things that lean on darker side, but never did I write CNC or any serious kinky stuff. Like bruh, I'm very new to this fandom. Let me get to the kinky part at least! Also, if I do write any (like I recently did for one of my asks) I will make sure to put trigger warnings (which is what I exactly did).

Here's what I ACTUALLY did: write a post asking why Miranda was so scared of Donna. The discussion it started was frankly quite amazing. The characterisations and character renaissance it created was amazing. However, some people didn't like the darker characterisation that happened in it. Or the "excessive" simping that followed by Donna stans. I've put excessive part in quotes for obvious reasons. Excessive is subjective and depends from individual to individual.

I went to sleep feeling satisfied and happy to see all the Donna love. Come morning, I see posts that were quite passive aggressively attempting to be call outs and police people.

I have never stood up for policing creative content. I've been part of several fandoms. I'm a part of Resident evil Village fandom. It's about evil woman doing evil things. So to see people cribbing about THESE characters being dark who have obvious darker undertones was flabbergasting to watch.

So while I didn't have a major part in creating majority of the darker stuff that happened, I did do one thing. I stood up and told people to take a chill pill. Like daddy chill, we are part of fandom that has cult stuff. And so the drama happened.

I don't regret what I did. I've always stood for freedom in creativity, and I will continue to do so. I saw my fellow Donna and Miranda stans getting indirectly attacked, and I had to speak out. I'm glad I did. Policing is the death of any fandom, and I hope this drama teaches us to let people be and not police people. Have a healthy discussion and tease people? Absolutely! But make personal attacks? Hell no.

I hope this clears up any miscommunication or misconceptions about me. I do not hate anyone, or any characters for that matter. Yes, Donna is my favourite, but I'll happily write for any Resident Lover character. I love the game, never doubt that.

Thank you for reading to the end. Feel free to follow me to be updated with whatever stuff I come up with. I never want anyone to think my blog is a unsafe space. I understand how important mental health is. I have a degree in it. Whatever you say, would be heard with patience. Unconditional positive regard bestie.

Signing off

So…

Want to tell me the reason why you scared Gabe half to death and freaked out my wife and Gabe’s wife?

I’m not mad but I’m going to be LIVID if you don’t tell me why you did that.

-Miguel

Maya: first off I mean to scare anybody, second he left his phone on my special quiet spot in the cafeteria at HQ so I have to give it back to him, And third, he shocked over reacted ! And to top it your wife should have calm down

Mod here.

@askrarity-dime and I collab sometimes. Our Raritys are not the same.

On occasion, our characters interact in crossovers; but we are not the same person nor do we run the same blog/story of LMR. They have Dime, I have my own LMR.

As for @asklafftrax, they're an OC blog (go check them out, they're neat!) and I've never really collabed with them but could if they ever reached out.

And another thing, my Rarity isn't fully insane yet. She's getting there. She still has a long way to go until then.

its 5 am and im mixijg up greek myths help. to clear it up, throwing the apple as a marriage proposal was never confirmed by anyone (at least to my knowledge), it just became a myth and idk i found it funny so i played along

basically if the recipient catches the apple or picks it up theyre accepting your proposal. but i dont know if there really is a version where if they throw it back its also considered an acceptance bc that's the version of the myth that i heard first

Things I would like Allistics to understand

[for the record, this is a subjective post. If you are on the spectrum and have constructive criticism with my takes, feel free to voice them. Allistic people however, take a back seat. Thank you.]

Autism is not an illness. It is not something you can "cure" and we do not, as a community, want a cure. It is something you are born with, and there is nothing wrong with being autistic. However, at least until society fundamentally changes, autism is a disability. The world is not laid out for people like us, and thus being a person operating in a world not built for us is taxing and disabling.

Generally speaking, we as a community prefer "autistic person" over "person with autism" since our autism is linked indifferently with our identity, it is apart of who we are

"functioning" labels, so "high functioning" and "low functioning" are not great. They essentially rank you based on your ability to mask and act neurotypical, and also imply that if you don't conform to neurotypical/allistic patterns you are essentially defect - the opposite of functional. Instead, try using "high support needs" and "low support needs" - this terminology centres not our inability to conform or do certain things, it instead just gives an indicator of the level of support we need. This makes it seem less like a flaw on our part.

there is no way to "look autistic". Autism is highly individual, so it doesn't have a look. So if someone tells you they are autistic, do not respond with any variation of "you don't look autistic" or "but I know X autistic person and they act like Y and you don't so you gotta be lying". Autistic people know they are autistic, and just because we don't act like that other autistic person you know, doesn't mean we aren't autistic.

In a similar note: Every autistic person has a different experience with autism based on their life. An autistic Person of Colour will have a very different experience with their autism than a White autistic person. An autistic person from a wealthy family will have a different experience with their autism than an autistic person from a lower income background. Everything in your life will factor into your experience with autism, including but not limited to the age when you were diagnosed/found out, the medical support situation in your family, the family constellation, the friends you have, the schools you go to and much, much more. Don't expect us to all be cookie cutter shapes.

forcing a nonverbal autistic person to try and speak, or to take away their communication options like sign language or a tablet, or even just a notebook, is abusive and ableist. It is the equivalent of holding your mouth shut. Sometimes words just don't work, for some of us only occasionally, some people are fully nonverbal. That doesn't mean we are "dumb", or that we "don't try enough". We just do not fit into society's image of normality.

Self Diagnosis is equally valid to a formal diagnosis. Many people on the spectrum might choose to not get a formal diagnosis, for a plethora of reasons. Maybe they cannot afford one, or don't have access to it. Maybe they want to migrate to a country that doesn't give citizenship to people with an ASD diagnosis, or maybe their country strips them of their rights after diagnosis. Yes, a formal diagnosis might help you get help - or it make your life harder. This, again, is individual, but trust me if I say that self diagnosed autistic people didn't just say "I think I am autistic" one day. We do research, we take every test there is, we overthink every trait, every little thing, before we even use the word for ourselves. Also, many medical professionals will refuse to diagnose adults because of idiotic reasonings such as "you can dress yourself" or "you make eye contact" as if late diagnosed adults didn't mask for ages.

No, we are not robots. Yes, we feel emotions. Yes, we tend to be more direct and blunt. No, we are not incapable of love, or kindness, or any other emotion, we just process them differently and show them differently.

Autism Speaks doesn't speak for us. Full stop.

I noticed @el-shab-hussein reblogged a post I had reblogged from them then blocked me, and that confused me so I did a bit of research.

I used the expression "Sons of Zion" on that reblog without knowing it to be an antisemitic dogwhistle. I had heard it being used in resistance news spaces online, and didn’t think to double check before using it here.

I’m sorry for the mistake and I will make sure never to use it again in the future; my point was only to spot that Zionist hate speech and systematic use of antisemitism outcries harms the Jewish community worldwide.

[fennekin123]

I’m just going to put this here so people won’t be confused and no other misunderstandings will be made in the future.

Nova and The Collector are not siblings nor related in anyway, they’re just two separate beings who happen to become best friends, and they were each other’s first friend!

Plus I made Nova a separate species, so they can also be nicknamed a child of the stars if you guys wanted to, but they’re still a different kind of entity as they’re as I call them a “Celestial being”.

I hope this will clear up any further confusion!

This is a formal goodbye to this blog.

It was a nice run, it really was, and I’ve made so many friends as a result! I’ve laughed with many, created things with others, and overall had a blast. 

However, due to personal reasons, I’m not going to be on this account for any longer. I will be creating a new account, though I will not link it here because I do not want to keep getting attacked nor do I want to keep running due to someone making false claims about me and those close to me. I appreciate everyone who followed me, read my works, and were there since the beginning. I appreciate every single one of you and I hope everyone has a good life. 

You can read more about the incident here. Do NOT attack, fake-claim, or ANYTHING to the person mentioned in the post. I do not want to start anything. I hope, one day, they’ll be able to grow and prosper and get out of their abusive situation to hopefully be okay. As for me, I’m moving on from this situation in this way. I hope they’ll find a way to move on too.

edit: turning off reblogs because some of the people that are reblogging are extremely fucking moronic. holy shit

#anti jk rowling #anti harry potter #1) she's not being removed because 'she spoke up about biological sex' she actively influences anti-trans policies #2) it's not misogynistic to remove her. the fact that she's a woman doesn't have ANYTHING to do with her removal #3) the people reblogging this in approval don't 'cry when an artist isn't credited' this isn't the same fucking thing. #this is as the article says (if you know how to read 🤭) the quickest solution to reduce her impact #this bitch doesn't just hurt trans people. it's clear in her books that she's a white supremacist and she's also antisemitic #and she said dumbledore is gay for clout. it's fucking obvious. stop defending this woman and get a life- #-or get involved on the side of trans people #or just generally drop the fucking series you read as a middle schooler. nostalgia isn't more important than the lives of trans/jewish ppl

look this site really is awful for ppl with OCD so i just wanna reassure anyone that you are not Tainted Forever for consuming a piece of media with questionable content. the fact that youre able to recognize it speaks to your critical thinking skills, which is good, certain depictions should be critiqued. but you dont need to ruminate on it to the point where you begin to feel guilty for simply witnessing gross or creepy writing choices. you dont have to vindicate yourself to the fictional tumblr discourser inside your head, saying that youre now a bad person bc you watched the wrong anime. your actual response to it still matters of course, but thats that and this is this. just seeing it is neutral, you didnt commit a thought crime. its literally fine.

IF YOU ARE USING THIS POST TO ONLY FURTHER YOUR STUPID PEDANTIC BLACK-AND-WHITE DISCOURSE TO GET A "GOCHA" OVER THE OTHER SIDE YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. DON'T USE OUR DISORDER TO VINDICATE YOUR BEHAVIOR. THOUGHT CRIMES ARENT REAL BUT ACTIONS STILL MATTER. PEOPLE WITH OCD ARE CAPABLE OF THINKING CRITICALLY ABOUT OUR ACTIONS AND RESPONSES, EVEN WITH INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS AND RUMINATIONS. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT, ONLY TO FORCE US TO USE YOUR STRINGENT UNNUANCED DISCOURSE OPINIONS ABOUT "PURITY CULTURE" (TRIGGERING TO THOSE WITH OCD) AS THE ONLY REASONABLE GUIDE DOES MORE TO EXACERBATE OUR OBSESSIONS THAN HELP US. YOU ARE THE ISSUE AS WELL. YOU ARE ALSO THE TUMBLR DISCOURSER INSIDE OUR HEADS. DO NOT USE US FOR YOUR DISCOURSE. WE ARE PEOPLE, NOT HYPOTHETICALS TO USE TO EXPLAIN IF YOUR FROZEN INCEST FANFICTION IS OKAY OR NOT. TREATING US AS IF WE CANNOT AUTONOMOUSLY HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS ON WHEN MEDIA IS TANGIBLY HARMFUL IS ABLEIST. FORCING US TO ABIDE BY YOUR IN-GROUP'S SET OF UNEQUIVOCAL MORALS IS ABLEIST. ACTING AS THOUGH THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR US IS MINDLESS MEDIA CONSUMPTION IN WHICH "EVERY DEPICTION OF XYZ, NO MATTER HOW POORLY DONE OR EXPLOITATIVE, IS ALWAYS OKAY AND IF YOU DISAGREE YOURE ACTUALLY AN EVIL 'ANTI'" IS ABLEIST. THOSE ARE THE SAME BLACK-AND-WHITE MORALS THAT SEND US INTO OBSESSIVE SPIKES, BUT FLIPPED. A SET OF MORALS IN WHICH QUESTIONING THE IMPACT OF A PIECE OF WORK MAKES YOU AN "EVIL CONSERVATIVE PURITAN "ANTI"" DOES NOT HELP MORAL OCD.

YOU ARE THE DAMN TUMBLR DISCOUERSERS MAKING THIS SHIT WORSE FOR US! YOURE THE EXACT SAME BUT WITH FLIPPED BUZZWORDS! YOU'RE MISSING THE WHOLE DAMN POINT!

#the fictional tumblr discourser inside your head is like the opposite of critical thinking its just extremes #blocking that helps you form better thoughts and come to a better understanding of why said content can be harmful in said depiction etc et #and to be clear shutting off all critical thoughts is not the solution either bc then you end up with.... Those People #the ones who jack off to lolicon on ao3 and think its the same artistically as lolita x_x #this post is not a vindication for that sort of thing. or say like actively supporting an openly bigoted series or author #those are different things because they are actual choices and actions. you chose to respond that way #thats what i mean when i say your actual response still matters. as in your actions surrounding it
