Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

#positivity #disability positivity #partially because so much of voical differences arise from disability #i've developed a really annoying lisp-ish issue #and it's hard to be positive about it because it makes me feel like i'll be treated as lesser because it's a 'childish' affect #but i literally can't help it unless i spend 110% of my focus on it. and i don't have that amount of energy #but it makes me think about others and especially those who have it more intensely than i do #and i just want to uplift everybody because vocal differences are neutral at worst #man my dad always tells a story about this coworker he had who had a stutter like you wouldn't believe... #...and he was fucking BRUTALIZED for it... 'c-c-c-c-CAN YOU GET TO THE POINT?!' is how people would talk to him... #...and obviously that made his stutter twice as fucking worse and i can't imagine the shame and humiliation that followed... #...i hope he learned that those assholes were a fucking waste of time and that he doesn't have to deal with that... #...like i'm sorry but there is no fucking need to be that sadistic toward somebody who is obviously already anxious and worried

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :

-

(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )

#tumblr polls #hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today #still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual #They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully #it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec #fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since #I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm #ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos #or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things #I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming #over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY #I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb #e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about #different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see #stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I #can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud.. #but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone #said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects #the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

something that kind of bothers me about modern feelings toward the epic of gilgamesh is how it's been COMPLETELY watered down to being "gay". Bear with me as I explain.

this is more of an extreme example, but I see this take all the time (not the yaoi part. the gay lover part). it's boiled down to the fact that it's gay over literally anything else in the epic. Gilgamesh's lament to Urshanabi about Enkidu's loss is overshadowed by the fact that Gilgamesh is mourning his gay lover. Gilgamesh is on a journey because he lost his gay lover. Gilgamesh and Enkidu were gay.

Now I understand that with a modern lens, people tend to lock on to how unabashedly Gilgamesh mourns Enkidu, because it's gay and because it's the oldest written epic in human history. People feel deeply connected to the idea that people like them have been around since the dawn of literature. But placing exclusive focus on the nature of the relationship as gay, rather than why the relationship or its loss was important, erases the story the epic is trying to tell.

The Epic of Gilgamesh is a story about love, yes, but it is not a love story. It's about the fear of death, coping with loss, and desperation to stave off the inevitable. It's about the bonds of friendship, about hardship, coming to terms personal change and losing pieces of yourself as you learn and grow. It is about consequences, arrogance, death, second chances, mourning, yearning, loving and LIVING. The Epic of Gilgamesh is about the entire human experience and one man's struggle to accept it. What does it mean to have lived? What does it mean to have loved, and lost? What does it mean to die, and to be remembered? What does it mean to be human?

It is perfectly okay to find appreciation for the Epic because of Gilgamesh and Enkidu's relationship. But also understand that the world's oldest story is not about two gay men who loved each other. It is a story about being alive.

TLDR;

#the epic of gilgamesh #mesopotamia #sumerian #once again recommending that everyone read the epic of gilgamesh at least once because it really is a great story #gilgamesh and enkidu's relationship is first of all--a minor detail at best. homosexuality was normal in sumerian society #so it wouldn't have been unusual. in fact placing such intense focus on it is what's unusual #also they weren't even homosexual. they both also sleep with women. but the erasure of bisexuality is a completely different hornet's nest #i could also probably write a post about how watered down the whole ea-nasir thing is too #but hes so much of a meme i might as well try to convince a brick wall to get up and walk for all the good it'd do #anyway. im pretentious about this topic because i love it so fucking dearly. please recognize what it is youre appreciating

actually i do have something to say about this chapter and it's quite critical of it but also i'm tired tonight and i've been talking about it long and hard on discord already and putting it all together in a coherent post feels like too much of a task tonight. all i'm gonna say is that part 2 was very obviously going in a certain direction from the start, and i loved that direction, and to an extent it is still going in that direction but now very obviously missing a huge chunk of what stirred it in that direction. and i'm hesitant to simply say it's fujimoto that's dropped the ball on this (though it might the idealization, who's to say) because from the actual shape of the writing + slump in paneling/art + recent bitter interview by fujimoto + japanese audience is apparently vocally not a fan of asa + my own cursed knowledge of shounen jump and shueisha editors and how they react to a fall in sales = i think the lack of focus on asa has really hurt the themes of part 2 when she was an integral part of it + i think this wasn't entirely fujimoto's doing and it's very likely because she is apparently strongly disliked in japan and there's good reason to believe that fujimoto was told to not focus on her nearly as much bc sales slump and people complain as soon as she shows up. which sucks. becaue what made part 2 work as well as it did was the synergy and parallel between the two protagonists' paths, and the absence of asa's path in the past few months (both in universe and by real time in the comic) feels like a genuine writing and thematic and emotional hole in the comic that to me shows that she WAS supposed to be there. fujimoto had fully intended to write her in there bc there's a hole in the shape of her where she is very obviously supposed to fit. it isn't simply a question of "author forgets his female character" it's a question of "this crucial part of the manga is missing and the author is painfully aware of it and bitter about it too"

#eli talks #csm #this is still not coherent i'll make a more coherent version at one point. #anyhow this still worked for me even during the denji megafocus #bc it felt like the boomerang was gonna return and asa was gonna be back in her place #and we were gonna see the counterbalance to denji's focus #her own rise to fame and emotions during this and growth with yoru #her absorption into the church and its horrors; the love bombing and adulation she finally got #the emotions about chainsaw man as a character and growing more reliant on yoru #the bitter and dramatic fall and its immediate aftermath; reacting to losing her arm #instead we get a character who until now had been an intensely emotion-driven and passive character IMMEDIATELY thrust into action #and given v little insight into her thoughts and interiority #something is missing! #it's not like fujimoto had nothing planned for her. she was written so intently and well #and suddenly it's like she dropped out of existence #and suddenly the paneling got worse and the art got worse and the hiatuses worse #and we get an interview from fjmt where he talks bitterly about commercial expectations interfering with artistic intentions #and how he wishes he didn't have to draw aymore #a guy who talked about how he was obsessed with drawing! #idk maybe it's idealization but i feel like it's not hard to put two and two together here

*rattling tin cup on the street corner* spare focus, anyone? Spare focus, please?

#writing #sort of #it’s the adhd #and I cannot focus on one WIP for the life of me no matter how much I want to #gonna start mugging people for their focus #relatable #girl help #actually I am very intensely focused on this stupid sitcom but that’s not what I MEAN I don’t want to be focused on that

(laying down) ah lads it's bad

#remember how earlier this week it was like 'i stared at a wall for 2 hours because i couldn't get myself to work' #so that's back but worse because no i don't even have the desire to do the work at all and it's giving me intense anxiety #i'm. going to try opening up all my work and taking a nap to reset #and hopefully when i wake up i can just. come to my computer and start working . . . . . . #uhggh . . . . . just feels extra hard to focus after the dogshit morning i've had . . . . . . .

#monolawg #was trying to make myself feel better recently by thinking about how #there's a very popular furry artist ive had several mutuals rave over #whose art i think is straight up Sexless. too smooth and boringly attractive #so its fine if i think my art is sexless bc others seem to like it #but its not workinggg....i hate it so much idk how ppl find anything i draw hot #its an anatomical drawing. like in a medical textbook. sexless in the other direction #feeling bad w comms rn. #also while im here im struggling bc i once saw advice that said not to focus on things you DONT LIKE wrt art #bc thats too negative. so instead of saying ''i dont want my art to look like x'' you say ''i want my art to look like y'' #and idk. nothing inspires me so intensely bc im not creative #so im just hung up on how i dont want it to look. with no solution or escape. just self hatred. alas... #i dont want it to look like this... #AND FINALLY #my theory as to why i hate my furry art is #ppl put out epic human art that inspires me daily #and i take and steal and frankenstein it into my own #but 95% of furries copy that one same style and theres less inspiration #so im going off of Nothing im jst going off Myself which i Hate.

I think it’s so interesting how we as a community really like exploring this soft, beautifully poetic quality of vore, but only ever seem to do so in writing. I’ve seen so many lovely poems and short stories waxing on in beautiful prose about the beautiful inner workings of the human body and the intimacy and trust that comes with having another person literally inside you, but when it comes to art you almost never see that. Sure art often focuses on those same qualities as well but...they’re never emphasized as beautiful in quite the same way I think. And maybe that’s why my art is so soft and almost like...classical feeling? Because every time I draw I want to capture that poetic beauty in a visual format. Something that, while painting a visual picture, also evokes a very special sense of awe. Even in the silly little scenarios I draw or the spookier pieces I post every once in a while I find myself trying to integrate older styles of poetry and artistry I don’t see much now. And maybe...maybe that’s why my art feels so nostalgic...

Who knows

Perhaps I’m just a hopeless romantic

#to be clear I’m not saying anyone doesn’t do this or that it’s bad people like drawing in different ways to capture different feelings #I was just musing about how you don’t see many pieces that focus on this very specific feeling of common #yet abstract beauty you see in older artwork #and if my quest to capture that style is what makes my art feel as soft and nostalgic as people have described it before #because I think we focus too much on the OMG TEETH AND STOMACH AND INSTINCTS AAA aspect of vore in a lot of art #which isn’t bad lmao I do that all the time and I don’t plan on stopping #but we focus so much on the intensely...visceral? aspects of vore that we loose something special #safe fatal doesn’t matter #they all are capable of having this quality and idk I just #I wanna see it more #soft vore #safe vore #vore mention #vore thoughts #Cj speaks #don’t mind me just getting philosophical #this post was brought to you by me drawing classic lit vore

I understand that the problem Linda would have in the hypothetical scenario where she catches Phineas and Ferb building some crazy shit is that its very dangerous for two kids to be caught up in something like that and it’s also just kinda an inconvenience like oh great now there’s this big ass roller coaster in the yard how the hell are we gonna clean this mess, I get it. But I just find it hard to believe that she wouldn’t be super impressed like my girl Linda loses her shit over the most mundane things so having her sons be these super geniuses capable of all this crazy shit would be awesome as hell she’d be proud

#the klock keeps ticking #THIS HAS JUST ALWAYS BOTHERED ME LIKE YOU. YOU HAVE SUPER GENIUS KIDS LINDA #i know a big point of the show is like how adults can be too wrapped up in minor shit that they ignore greatness #and just stifle kids creativity and imagination with their compulsive need to stick to the status quo #and in all the ‘what if’ episodes where the boys get busted theres always an intense focus on them being forced to deeply repress themselves #to fit into societys expectations of obedient children and theyre fucking miserable #but damn i just dont think Linda would be like that 😩 #like yeah shed be worried about safety but she wouldnt like make the boys repress themselves like that :((( #SURELY WE CAN WORK THIS OUT LINDA

The length of the f1 break is getting to me, I've started looking back on old ships, and I feel like a feral dog about them again

#i just mean like yknow not a good sign when you start losing focus on what you consider to be your main interest #but ah its nice to be feral tho :) #idk tho if any f1 ships have made me feral in the way my one past ship im looking back on rn does #im reminiscing and god the fics for this ship are so fucking good #it feels like its tailored to me bark bark bark #also thinking abt how ever ship has a way of worming its dynamics into my characters #but this one wormed its way into my one ship's characterization so intensely #so reading fics for it is like both: a. wow i love this dynamic and b. wow this makes me wanna develop that ship even more #feral dog is not an overexageration btw. im such a maniac at this time of night #but idk the lack of f1 to focus on makes it so i go btwn being very depressed to just having extreme amnts of energy #and rn that energy is directed towards past loves sigh sigh #oh yeah not namedropping the ship btw bcs i dont want it to end up in the actual tag yknow #catie.rambling.txt

I know I’m posting from the middle of the night again but I’m proud of myself for getting over the hump and finally starting mitten # 2!!!! It might actually get finished this year which….would be nice.

#knitting #my projects #I was having a brain fart about how to put the thumb in and it just needed 15 minutes of intense focus which #I simply did not have the past 2 weeks

Find you someone who imbues the very concept of Destruction onto armament or limb, all in the name to atmoize the forces before you.

question: who is your favourite scooby doo character and why?

in a similar vein to my how did you get into scooby doo post from last month, i'm now interested in hearing who your favourite character from the franchise is! are they a member of the core gang or a side character? which iteration/version of theirs do you like best? do you have any specific memories associated with them? do they mean a lot to you personally, or do you just think they're neat? it's time to gush about them in the tags/replies!!

#if you don't know me: hi i'm nem and when the scooby doo hyperfixation beam hit me back in 2021 i was cursed to forever think about #fred jones more than everyone else on the planet combined #i just think the evolution of his character is so fascinating #especially in the way that they made him more engaging by just exaggerating his core traits a whole bunch over time #my favourite iterations of his are mystery inc (for the canon autism and generally how emotionally affecting he is) #and what's new (for just how plain silly and sweet he is) #however now that i've seen the whole show be cool's version of fred is now a firm favourite as well (his focus episodes are amazing!!!) #there's just so much that can be done with him and there's never a dull moment when he gets quality screentime in an episode or movie #he makes me laugh he makes me cry and through relating so much to his character he essentially tricked me into loving myself #i grew up with undiagnosed autism and struggled with self-hatred for things like my intense interests/social struggles/hyperempathy #things that i now know are just. fundamental parts of me and the way my brain is #so seeing fred be his unapologetic autistic self (canon in mystery inc/coded in everything else) made me feel less alone & gave me hope #which eventually led me to seek out & obtain my formal diagnosis at 17 and generally just feel so much more secure in who i am #so yeah!!!! this silly goofy cartoon character means a whole lot to me and i'm glad to have a place to express that :) #i look forward to seeing everyone's responses to this question!!! #scooby doo
