Part three to the Sleep Token FX post. Some of these I've picked up on my own, and others have been pointed out to me by @reveries-of-my-mind and @moonchild-in-blue through their reblogs of my original post about Vore. A lot of these FX bits are more obvious, so I decided to just put TMBTE in one post.
Part three includes: Take Me Back To Eden
Part One -> One, Two, Jaws and The Way That You Were
Part Two -> Sundowning and This Place Will Become Your Tomb
+ If I've missed something, feel to add your own thoughts!
Note- some of these are FX, others are sound mixing and music bits I wanted to mention. Any song you don't see mentioned are songs that I couldn't find anything to pull out of them. Plus, reminder; these are my interpretations, I'm sorry if you can't hear what I hear, or you think something different.
Tumblr media
Chokehold
- Lots and lots of digital, glitchy FX which sets the mood for the album. This is also repeated throughout all the songs in the album, which works with their algorithm-esc, robotic theme (both lyrically and musically) in their songs for this one.
The Summoning
- Unfortunately, everyone's favourite jazz-metal amalgamation doesn't have any other SFX notes other than carrying on Chokehold's glitchy FX motifs.
Aqua Regia
- Jazz café ambience shown throughout the song, also, every single instrument other than the main paino is echoed and or muffled.
+ Fun fact! Aqua Regia is Latin for Royal Water. It's a concentrated solution of Hydrochloric and nitric acids, and is one of the only acids that can dissolve Gold; it's used in the jewelry trade to test the purity of Gold. Not a clue what Vessel is trying to get across with that, but his obsession with chemistry and biology motifs strike again.
Granite
- The screetch of the guitar chord at 2:32, right before the breakdown, sounds almost like a car hitting the breaks and skidding. Works well with Granite's theme of car crashes. You can almost imagine someone having an argument in the car, and the screetch is a result of things going a bit too far.
Vore
- Like I said in my original post, in the beginning (first fifteen seconds), along with the scratchy guitar chord, there are chewing and swallowing sounds. The song is quite literally from the point of view of being stuck in the throat of a God.
- At 3:23 to 3:30, there are bird noises similar to the ones at the start of TMBTE! They're incredibly subtle, but they're there. If you can't pinpoint it, there's a squeaking noise at 3:27, which is just a bird tweeting!
Rain
- From 3:55 to the end of the song, there's rain, which is obviously very fitting. Not specifically rain tapping on a rooftop, but more so rain pouring down a gutter, at least to me.
Take Me Back To Eden
- From 0:00 to 0:40, there's echoed animal noises, like if you were to stand in the middle of a rainforest. The song starts of in absolute silence, only broken by nature; not a human made noise to be heard. It's quite literally Eden. These sounds are there throughout the song, they just get much harder to hear the longer Vessel sings and the more instruments they later on top of eachother.
- At 1:42, there's either a Lion's or a Tiger's roar.
- From 3:10-3:16, there's the sound of thunder.
- A lot of the jingles you hear in The Summoning are repeated here! E.g; 3:40 and, more clearly, at 4:50 and 7:50.
- The lyrics "we were tangled up like branches in a flood; it was no accident" are direct refrences to the lyrics in Chokehold.
Euclid
- The song is 5 minutes and 13 seconds long, but Vessel only starts singing at the 13 second mark. The first lyric? "Just run it back, give me five whole minutes". We, as the listener give him five whole minutes to say what he's gotta say. Further, the song ends on the exact same piano chord that it begins with; the song, in of itself, is a loop. Anytime you play Euclid on loop, you are running it back and giving him five whole minutes. One of the reasons Euclid is my favourite (next to Aqua Regia) for this album.
- The lyrics "the night belongs to you" and "this bough is broken through" are lyrical refrences to The Nigh Does not Belong to God from Sundowning and When The Bough Breaks from One. The oldest album, and ST's first produced album.
- From 4:02 to the end of the song, a verse from The Night Does Not Belong To God is played. It completes the produced album trilogy, and, with the five stages of grief, allows for acceptance and healing. Euclid not only loops itself, but loops the three albums together. Sundowning, TPWBYT and TMBTE are an endless loop that can and will be played as many times as needed for Vessel, for you, as the listener, to heal. To accept change. To realise there's more than denial, anger bargaining and depression. And I think that, in of itself, is beautiful.
---------
Album Notes: Sleep Token really put their whole soul into this album huh. By far, it's the one that uses SFX the most, and rounds out Sleep Token's own genre as a whole. We see snippets of older songs used throughout the album, both lyrical refrences and actual chunks of old songs taken out and placed within other ones. 10/10, would cry to again.
Thank you for reading through all my thoughts and feelings, whoever you are. Remember, the night belongs to you; worship <3.

tbf i still find non radfem books like who cooked the last supper, invisible women, the feminine mystique, the second sex etc good recs for girls/women interested in radical feminism. sort of like an intro class to feminism in general before you focus on actual radfem literature. you can't go from 0 feminist readings to gyn/ecology overnight... it's not a given that gyns who find themselves on radblr will have read basic feminist texts
yeah that’s a really good point! I think a lot of the problems on radblr come from the fact that most women come to it without any knowledge about feminism, much less any organizing experience. that’s fine, and to some extent should be expected given the current states of the broader left (weak, disorganized, overrun with liberalism/ anarchism) and the feminist movement (functionally non-existent). That’s just the way it is across the left — I can’t tell you how many so-called socialists I know who couldn’t even tell you what class struggle means. In our case, though, I think it’s especially problematic, because a lot of women are “radicalized” by disillusionment with trans politics (or discomfort with trans people 🙃) — and without a proper grounding in feminist basics, it’s really, really easy to at best lose focus on women’s liberation, and at worst just become a reactionary. lol.
So, I totally agree that some feminism 101 is in order, so we’re all at least speaking the same language when it comes to the messier ideological debates about and within radical feminism.
I think a big part of the problem, though, is that … it’s not a given that women who find themselves on radblr will EVER read basic feminist texts, or even radical feminist ones. it’s pretty obvious from the way people talk about lesbian separatism and political lesbianism that, like, no one knows what they’re fucking talking about. and how could they, if they’re just reblogging quote posts and the same handful of master lists with a whole bunch of random pdfs with no context or commentary? hate to break it to ya, ladies, but all your faves were political lesbians. like, literally all of them. And this is actually pretty clear from the things they write!
I’ll save my takes on radblr’s fundamentally incoherent lesbian politics and the fact that separatism has NEVER been a settled question in radical feminism and the fact that political movements need GOALS and STRATEGIES and DUES BASED MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS for later. Suffice it to say, we need to stop being so content to let tumblr thought leaders pulling evocative quotes from PDFs decide what we think, and start getting serious about political education.
I don’t think every woman on radblr needs to do a PhD to be able to weigh in on things, but I do think those of us with the time/desire to make intellectual interventions, create syllabi, and/or start cohering some democratic organizational infrastructure (or at least some more discussion groups) can and should step up. Obv people are and have been doing this, but if we want to ever do anything more than snipe at each other online, we gotta get movin.
Thanks for letting me grandstand on ur ask, i just have a decade’s worth of frustration built up about this 🙃 always more to say. (like, I also don’t think we should be so into gyn/ecology at all, actually … but more on that later (-:< )
TL;DR: READ MORE! GET WISE, WOMEN! LET A THOUSAND READING GROUPS BLOOM!

Hello! Here's a few things:
1. I love your work, but I think a couple might have gone missing? :(
2. Are you taking requests at the moment?
3. Regarding the above- I never thought I'd say something like this, but would you mind doing a BOTW Link x fem!reader song fic to Metallica's The Unforgiven II? I feel like it fits surprisingly well given the setting and circumstances 😔
Tumblr media
hello love!
first, some readers may not be able to see my fics because i was and perhaps still am shadow-banned so some of my works require more effort to find.
i know that is the case for where the shooting star falls, meet me there and both installments of the goddesses, he wants you mini series. they’re hidden away because tumblr really had to shit on my parade LMAO.
but other factors can also affect whether my works makes it to you and one prominent one is making sure you’re able to see posts marked mature and you can toggle that on in your tumblr settings on a web browser.
otherwise, for my works, since i barely post, you can literally just scroll down my page till you hit my first work published, where the shooting star falls, meet me there, and just read from there. but you can also use my hashtag, #𝐢𝐯'𝐬 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠.°♡༉‧₊ to filter my works from my letters!
i don’t have a masterlist as of now but it’s currently in the works, i’ve just been too busy with adjusting to working and college life lmao so hopefully, the masterlist and rules will be posted soon :0
second, i do not take requests. this blog is more of an outlet where i freely post any fics i started writing and such. though i do not take requests, you and other readers are freely able to drop a letter in the letter box, whether it be an idea, imagine, or basically anything you want to share with me, the letter box is completely open for you. there will be some instances where someone drops in a letter that may inspire me to write a full blown fic and if that is the case, the anon/user who sent in the idea/prompt will be properly credited :]
third, though it does pertain to the second question i answered, i just listened to the song you recommended and stars, the lyrics do speak to me because it does provide good angst material. though i do have to kindly deny your request, golden child, lion boy and its sister fic in the works, fearless child, broken boy do fit the lyrics of metallica’s the unforgiven ii so i hope that indirectly satisfies a bit of your request :)
thank you again for kindly asking whether i take requests or not, i really appreciate you talking to me before you actually requested. i’m also extremely thankful for your support as every like, comment, reblog, etc. does not go unnoticed by me! :] <3
with love,
iv.

(I might've sent this to you already, I'm having a total ADHD moment and can't figure out who I sent it to and who didn't so if this is the second time ignore it and im sorry)
I've submitted this to a couple blogs, but it is a genuine question I have and so I'd like to get as widespread of an answer as I can get.
So I know what we talk about making found families as queer people, a lot of the time that ends up looking like a group of our peers, or a significant other, or a combination of the two.
But the way I've always looked at families is that they're not just made up of people your age. They're made up of so many different ages, they're made up of the grandmothers, the aunts, the uncles, the cousins, the mothers, the fathers, and I think that's something that I find harder to replicate in a found family then finding people my age I can make connections with.
So my question is, how do you go about creating and joining the larger communities/found family of queer people. Where do you find the older queers who can take on the roles of grandparents, and, uncles, cousins, surrogate parents, how do you go about connecting with younger queer people who you can take under your wing as surrogate brothers, sisters, and siblings.
Because I think it's entirely possible, or it should be entirely possible. I just don't know how you actually go about making those connections and finding those communities rather than just connecting to people your age and within your sphere.
And this could go for online communities, this could go for in real life communities. Honestly knowing how to find connections and make connections in both of those spheres would be helpful. But yeah I was hoping that even if you yourself don't actually necessarily have an answer to this, that by sharing it maybe someone else will have more of an answer.
First of all, I apologize for taking so long to answer! I completely forgot about this ask :/
Second, I am terrible at making connections (I literally have 0 irl friends lol) so I might not be the best person to ask for advice.
However, I will say that probably the best place to meet and connect with queer folks of different ages (irl) is to join a Facebook group. I know Facebook is kinda awful, but I've found that there are a lot of queer groups on Facebook that will post local events and queer gatherings.
For instance, when I lived in Colorado, I joined a Facebook group for queer folks in my city. There were queer people of many different ages in that group, and they would frequently post about different gatherings and events that they were holding. Some of the events were things like going hiking (a very popular pastime in Colorado), going to get coffee together, dances, and just a lot of general hanging out type gatherings.
I never went to any of the events because 1. I was living with my queerphobic dad at the time, and 2. I have extreme social anxiety. However, it always looked like a lot of fun, and I wish I had gone to some of those events and made connections with other queer people.
The group also posted about queer resources like information on hrt in the area. It was so cool.
Anyway, tl;dr: see if you can find a Facebook group for queer people in your city, or even queer people in your region. It's a great place to make connections with queer people of all ages.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please leave a comment or reblog!

find the word tag!!
thank you @sithbelle the the tag :D
my words are dwell, mask, primary, dim...
i don't believe this... how have i never used the word 'dwell'?? 😭 i looked through 4 different WIPs, literally 113,241 words, and not one of them is the word 'dwell'. how. ACTUALLY HOW?? i will literally make a conscious effort to use dwell in the next chapter i write. in fact, i swear to god, i will reblog this in the future with the paragraph i use dwell in, mark my words.
anywho..
mask from viva la ávila (part 3)
That night I took off my pants and played gently, carelessly in my bedroom, just thinking aimlessly about him and his hair and his fingers and his fingers in his hair, in my hair, pulling my hair. I decided to take a shower, in which the soap would never be needed. I prayed the steady rushing of the water as it fled the tap was loud enough to mask the soft cries of my sinning. I went to sleep late, swollen and still high-strung despite myself. 
primary from tales, second edition (part 8) this was the only instance of 'primary' in any of my WIPs! :0
some other miscellaneous details too, like the smell of acrylic paint seemingly built into the walls of the art room, the confusing mix-match of black chairs that are all just slightly different for some reason gone unasked, the down-the-hall shouts on friday afternoons of the primary kids' assembly, and the bookshelf in the hall between the two english classrooms.  still, it wasn't until today that i realised how enamoured you can become with your surroundings.
dim from heart beats hast; colours and promises (part 15)
"Tommy?" Wilbur's voice came from the other side of the closed guestroom door. "Yeah?" "Could I come in?" "Yeah." Tommy was tired. The worry that filled the space between the brunette's eyebrows caught Tommy's attention, even with his tired eyes and the dim light of the room. Had Wilbur heard him crying? "How are you feeling?" Tommy's stomach turned to cement. He had, hadn't he? "Not bad." Tommy sat up in anticipation, covers falling from around his shoulders, the sleeves of the sweatshirt he'd pulled on saving his arms from the cold.
no-pressure tagging @digital-chance @the-chaotic-writer @fire-but-ashes-too @holdmyteaplease @tea-and-mercury and an open tag for anyone who sees this and thinks it might be fun :DD
your words are: lovely, counter, carelessly, bright

wait i think that post you reblogged helped me realize a new reason why i like the nomai so much. something about the way theyre written makes it feel like im watching a blooper reel sometimes. they feel like ppl who flub lines and drop props and miss enterances and prank someone during a take. it takes 0 effort to picture them laughing during an otherwise serious scene.
Literally, those nomai scrolls can go from the most profound, existential, beautiful words ive ever read to a fucking office episode in like 3 seconds

Saturday May 14, 2022
Apologies for the radio silence last Saturday. It was a big week for me. I quit my job of 13 years. I was poached by a competitor and offered an amazing new opportunity, so I was busy not reading. however, I made up for my lack of reading last week for ALL the reading this week.
If you read any of the stories on this lists, please make sure to show love to the authors by liking and reblogging their content!
A reminder to everyone that my blog houses 21+ content. This post isn’t any different. I’m not adding in the specific tags or warnings for each rec here but know that they can house adult content as well.
✨ If you are under 21, please DNI.✨
1.  In The Dark by @frannyzooey​​
Pairing: Ezra (Prospect) x Fem!Reader
I adored the tension and pining in this fic. It was lovely. I can still feel my heart beating out of my chest at these two sneaking a few minutes together in the crowded bookshop. Phew, babes. I’m still sweating from the preciously perfect anxiety! I also love the way you’ve captured Ezra’s easy going personality, the way he’s absloutely comfortable no matter what, even when he’s feeling high strung. Ugh, beautiful, perfection!
2.  Partners In Crime by @mandosmistress​​
Pairing: Pedro Across the Street x Fem!Reader
HOLY SHIT WOW OH MY GAWD! Everyone needs to read this. E V E R Y O N E. You don’t even need to care about the fandom or Pedro Pascal. JUST FUCKING READ THIS. The dynamic, the story, the plot, the S E X! Oh gawd, everything about this is amazing. I blew through this the second I found and I’m going back again this weekend. It’s too good. I would pay the good monies for this. Go read it. Seriously, READ IT.
3.  Everything and More by @dincrypt​​
Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
THIS SERIES HAS BROKEN ME. ITS CHANGED ME. ITS MADE ME YEARN IN WAYS I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED. I’ve always been pro sugar daddy, but jheeeeezzeeeeeeeeee babes. Din is a Daddy with a capital D. I’m literally hanging on by the thinest thread for the next update. I might die of a coronary just waiting. The slow burn, the work up, the everything. You’ve weaved absolute magic with this story. A DADDY ON THIS LEVEL! It’s what we all need and deserve! I can’t wait to find out the twists you definitely have coming our way. Learning about Din at the same pace as our reader is anxiety inducing BUT SO MUCH FUN AT THE SAME TIME!
4.  Another Way by @theewokingdead​
Pairing: Din Djarin x Fem!Reader
I haven’t finished this series yet, but it is absolutely lovely. I love the give and take between our reader and Din. Watching their relationship grow, form and develop has been wonderful. I love this take on the whole situation Din has been dealt and the way that they’re so into each other but hesitant at the same time. I can’t wait to finish this series and see where you take them. I love these two with my whole heart, I really do!!!
5.  This Oneshot by @menofchaos​
Pairing: Coco Cruz x Fem!Reader
MAYANS F A M I L Y!!!!!! Ahhhhh, it’s been so long since I’ve read anything Mayans related and I’m so glad that this was the oneshot that I got to dip my toes back into the water with. I have 0 idea of what’s happening in the show currently, but to me, this captured everything I needed to know. The stress, the search, the violence, THE LOVE! Coco is my soft, sad boy and I love that in this he’s worried about the reader. He just wants her to be safe, regardless of anything going on between them. I adored this.

doesn’t the concept of “allosexual privilege” fall apart when applied to LGBT sexuality? it is quite literally illegal in many countries to have gay sex, we’re treated by conservatives like indecent and degenerate “groomers” just for existing, the representation/expression of same-sex sexuality in media is still heavily censored to this day… i could go on but i’m sure you get the point. the thing about “allonormativity” is that it isn’t “everyone should be having sex”, it’s “sex should be between a man and a woman, both white and able-bodied, in a monogamous and vanilla relationship”. and ANYONE who falls outside of that depiction of sexuality can feel alienated and punished by society, not just ace/aro people.
Respectfully, genuinely, two things.
The first being that you seem to presume I disagree with you on the concept that Allonormativity is bigger than “everyone should be having sex.” I’m assuming you didn’t take much of a look at my blog because I pretty specifically reblogged something like, yesterday, dealing with exactly that issue. Allonormativity and heteronormativity and amatonormativity and cisnormativity are all words picking out more specific pieces of the same concept—restrictive norms and normativity, general. I won’t go so far as to say that allonormativity requires that sex be with the “right person in the right way” (cisgender, heterosexual, PiV), because that’s very well addressed by heteronormativity, but there is something to be said about it requiring the “right amount” of sex (greater than 0, but less than a vaguely defined “too much”) and of course the expectation of sexual attraction and that attraction being acted upon. There are ways this entangles with aromanticism and alloromanticism, too, but I will focus here on the aspect I can personally speak to, which is asexuality. (But aros, know I’m formally including you in my analyses elsewhere.)
Which brings me to the second thing—intersectionality, it should go without saying (but never seems to when allonormativity is the topic) complicates things and compounds oppressions and changes the nature of oppression and oppressed experience. Just as a trans gay man experiences oppression differently than a cis gay man—no one would (no one who gets it, anyway) dare suggest the cis gay man isn’t oppressed. But his oppression will look different from a trans gay man. Allosexuality doesn’t magically override homophobia or something.
I will admit that a lot of people do have a hard time understanding how a “privileged group” can experience oppression uniquely according to their “privileged identity,” because for some reason we’ve taken intersectionality to refer only to those oppressed identities compounding on each other. But I would never even dare suggest that Black men do not experience oppression on the basis of their manhood—the racism they face is uniquely shaped by their being men. They still hold a privileged identity in the sense that they do not have sexism and misogyny to work against (assuming they’re cisgender—but that’s a whole conversation unto itself) whereas Black women do, but it would be entirely incorrect to suggest they see no oppressive forces that are uniquely tied to their being men—specifically Black men. We do not have perfect language to discuss this fact, so I hope I’ve explained my point here well enough to connect it to the question of allonormativity and allosexual privilege.
To bring that point all the way home, an allosexual gay cisgender non-disabled white man experiences homophobia, and that homophobia has been and can still be extremely deadly, and he is still absolutely oppressed for his sexual attraction to other men. I would never even begin to deny that. And, in the same way I described above, his experience of homophobic oppression will be inherently shaped by his privileged identities. This includes his being allosexual, and it also includes his being a man, and it also includes his being white, and so on. It’s not sufficient to point out that he doesn’t have to experience, for example, the compounded oppression of sexism and homophobia the way a lesbian woman does (this is true, but insufficient). The homophobia experienced by men is uniquely man-shaped. The homophobia experienced by cis men is uniquely cis-man-shaped. The homophobia experienced by allosexual cis men is uniquely allosexual-cis-men shaped. Ad infinitum. It doesn’t make it not homophobia.
But let’s go ahead and consider an asexual gay cisgender non-disabled white man, and we have now added another deviation from the “norm” to this experience. And where allonormativity will open him up to all the same evils of homophobia as the allosexual man (because allonormativity—and amatonormativity—is the basis upon which people will associate his being gay with his having gay sex regardless of whether or not that is even on the table for him, and for many homophobes, it remains that gay sex is the thing they object so passionately to), his asexuality complicates things further as he additionally experiences further and different marginalizing and oppressive forces due to his deviation from the normed experience (bonus points if he’s sex repulsed). And yeah, for him, as a gay asexual, this will look unique and likely very frequently take the form of lateral aggression (and I currently would suggest that it’s lateral aggression) in his own gay community. His experience of homophobia will be asexual shaped, and his experience of aphobia will be gay shaped; intersectionality, remember, is not Oppression + Oppression = 2 Oppression.
You see, the thing that makes theorizing and describing Allosexual privileges and allonormativity so complicated is the way heteronormativity is inherently implicated in allonormativity.
As a side note, I’m just a beginner (maybe moderate level at this point... but I hesitate to call myself that) to theory in the grand scheme of things; I still would say I have a lot to read and think about and deeply consider before I even begin to write theory on a formal level. I’m not saying I’m gonna be 100% on all points, and in fact being challenged on details will only help me move forward in carving out this idea further. Flat rejection or the notion of its existence based on specious or surface level recognitions of how things work, however, won’t. Main reason being: I’m asexual. I’ve been openly asexual for more than half of my life so far. I have listened to all kinds of asexual voices. We are seeing things and patterns in society and the makeup of power relations that allosexual people are, like any group that doesn’t experience a specific form of marginalization, unable to and disincentivized from seeing (I think immediately of Peggy McIntosh’s White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack for insight on this). My personal experiences as an asexual queer existing in allosexual queer and non-queer spaces aren’t going to be written off just because it’s unpleasant to become aware of a way in which you might have been unwittingly participating in oppression and marginalization. I won’t, frankly, allow for that to happen to me or to any of us.
So that being said, the fact that heteronormativity is inherently implicated in allonormativity (as well as, again, amatonormativity and cisnormativity), leads me to put forward the notion that it, too, negatively affects allosexual people, even where they might have allosexual privilege. Because there’s this weird thing that’s happening where, to the heterosexual “normals,” many allosexuals who aren’t heterosexual can at times experience what I’m willing to provisionally call “Aheterosexuality,”where the homophobic focus is less on their having gay sex/sexual attraction and more on their not having straight sex/sexual attraction (this is oversimplified, but I hope it suffices). It’s not super common (again for most homophobic people the issue is being gay and having gay attraction and having gay sex), but I’m not going to pretend it’s not a factor worth considering.
However, at the end of the day, it comes back to these being different parts of identity and experience and different experiences of oppression. The reality is that the allo gay man doesn’t have to deal with aphobia while the asexual gay man does—it can be put forward as simple as that. Or to think of it another way, a bisexual man has to deal with biphobia and homophobia, whereas a gay man does not have to contend with biphobia but does have to contend with homophobia, and in fact may perpetuate biphobia either intentionally or not—this concept is the most parallel one I can think of. No one would dare suggest the gay man doesn’t experience homophobia or has an insignificant risk of violence or anything just because he doesn’t experience bisexual oppression. And no one would suggest it of the allosexual gay man either.
Earnestly speaking, I hope this is helpful. Thanks for the ask.

#it's getting more common but most of the people with my name are literal children and i am 25 years old
My Top Posts in 2022:
reminder that i am a self-published author and have... several... books out, all available on amazon. kindle is 99c and always will be as cheap as amazon will let me make them. but! let's describe these books. all of them unless otherwise stated have lgbtqia+ characters, often main characters
first there's the pentalogy of hell series. first book is iscariot. the whole main part of the series, not counting novellas and companions, is out. this series is available in hardcover as well as paperback and kindle. it is not as religious as it sounds. mostly it's me co-opting christian mythology?? it's about kids who go to hell and they have a lot of fun there. beyr is also a part of this series as like a companion.
abnormal murders series. first book is serial killers with cookies. second book is coming out SOON. follows justine after her parents are murdered by uh. serial killers with cookies. she gets pretty morally gray as the series goes on. she just loves vigilante justice.
next is columbiner. which is just a little novella about the dangers of those columbine fangirls, essentially. idk how popular it is anymore but when i was in college they were everywhere on tumblr. no lgbt+ rep but then again there's no romance total.
vendettic trilogy! first book is spahn. follows the stupidest bisexual alive as he and his heavy metal band in the early 80s try to navigate "all this demon shit." it's not fanfiction no matter how much it might look like it. first two books are out.
like hell. kinda experimental. follows this kid brendan and his relationship with drew, who is coming from an extremely abusive home. i always describe this one was being about "friendship, revenge, and killing your mom's boyfriend". except they might not actually be just friends.
the crucifixion of craig knox! this is my west memphis 3 book. if you are familiar with the case this will be very familiar. if not, this is about a kid who, through his association with the town goth in the early 90s, is implicated for the murder of a couple of little boys. btw if we're talking about wm3 the trial for the possibility of dna testing is uh. comin up here. let's get those boys exonerated.
next is the aughts boys series which is more of a set of companion novels. the "first" book is one more sad song, which follows zeke in 2004 as he navigates his crush on his best friend after his best friend gets a girlfriend. also he likes skateboarding and hates his dad. the second one is the horror at camp new woods and takes place the summer before omss. it follows elliot at murder camp. the third one is right or wrong and it takes place the year before omss. it follows luke, who's new best friend bullies a kid to suicide and that's a lot. you don't have to read them in order. or all of them. if you just wanna read about murder camp you can do that. there will be more books in the series. like. a lot more.
tinon trilogy! only one book right now, circus wings. an actual fantasy series. follows environmentally-conscious lesbian princess and her guard who is just fed up with her shit.
i have two short story/essay collections. first is rewind, which is just short stories. second is life in anachronism, which also has some creative nonfiction essays.
aaand finally. carl & jimmy. which is just. it's weird. maybe don't read carl & jimmy.

Pined post, this will be updated whenever necessary.
Last update: January 25th 2023.
This blog is run by @rjalker My pronouns are it/its.
Rules and other info are below the cut! Read this post before submitting a prompt :)
= = = =
Along with submitting prompts, if you tag me in art, as long as it doesn't violate the rules, I'll reblog it here! Art of Murderbot will be tagged "Murderbotart"
Submission rules, in no real order
0)) if you think shipping incest or pedophilia is okay, leave, now. Your actions are disgusting and you are not welcome here. This includes between adopted family members.
1)) I highly recommend you type out your prompts in an LibreOffice document or similar word program before submitting it, in case tumblr crashes while you're on the submission page, or if I delete it by accident while trying to post it.
2)) If you submit a prompt here, you can of course also post it to your own blog. You can also post it to your blog, and then @ me to reblog it here.
3)) If you want to submit a prompt anonymously, you can submit it like normal, and note at the top that you want it to be anonymous. I'll copy and paste it into a new post. (You used to be able to open tumblr in a private browser and submit anonymously that way, but I think they've made it so you have to be logged in now in 2024...who knows when that'll change again though.)
4)) Include a name for your prompt when you submit it! This will make it easier to find them later. It can be a simple descriptive name like "Murderbot gets lost in the mall" or something.
5))Please include proper paragraph breaks. I have to be able to read your prompt before it can b published. Not including paragraph breaks will make this take three times as long.
6)) I will be editing prompts submitted, usually to help clarify confusing language or to add paragraph breaks if the submitter doesn't add them in themselves.
7)) If you aren't okay with your prompt being edited before it gets posted, post it to your own blog instead, and then @ me to reblog it.
If a prompt violates the rules in an easily fixable way, I'll edit the prompt to follow the rules.
If a prompt violates the rules in a way that can't be fixed, it'll just be scrapped, and I'll post an explanation of what it did wrong and how to fix it in the future, without naming names.
Unless you're purposefully being malicious, in which case you'll just get blocked and I will warn other people to block you for their own safety.
8)) No shipping Murderbot with anyone, in any way, unless it canonically starts a relationship with someone in the books. It's not anymore okay to erase canon Queer representation when it's representing nonpartnering, everything-repulsed aroace people than if it were representing anyone else.
If Murderbot were canonically an allo lesbian, and you wouldn't want people to erase that, then don't erase that it's aroace and doesn't want any kind of relationship.
9)) No erasing Murderbot's solitaremity, which is a form of touch aversion where not only do you not enjoy touch, you also do not crave it or get "touch starved". Unless Murderbot in the books canonically starts explicitly seeking out and enjoying touch for the pure joy of it, then you need to respect that it is solitaremit. Real solitaremit people exist, and we deserve to see ourselves represented in fiction too.
Touch aversion is a disability, and it's no more okay to magically cure it or sweep it under the rug than it would be to cure Murderbot's very clear autism.
10)) No whitewashing characters OR assuming white people are the default. Just because someone's skin tone isn't described doesn't mean they're white. If you think it does, you're just racist. The only characters you can depict as white on this blog are those who are clearly described as white, like the GrayCris Agent from book 4.
He is in fact literally the only example of a clearly white character in this series so far.
I know, because I was keeping track the first, second, third, and fourth time I've read this series. This, like many things, is an established pattern in Martha Wells' writing.
It is extremely intentional that the only blatantly white character in this series so far is the capitalist pig who is holding a Black woman hostage.
I promise you it won't kill you to draw or describe people of color. You will not be harmed by fighting against the "white people are the default" that is in your head.
11)) No NSFW even if it doesn't involve Murderbot. There are kids in this fandom, I want them to feel welcome here, and I don't wan to see it either. Post it to your own blog and tag it appropriately.
12)) No super graphic or gratuitous violence. It's okay to go beyond what's described in the books (or, I should say, not described at all), but don't be excessive about it.
13)) Original characters are more than welcome!
14)) All human AUs will not be allowed. Murderbot does not want to be human. Turning it into a human anyways is just insulting.
15)) Other AUs that likewise remove Murderbot's constructed status to make it wholly organic will also be dismissed. That's just lazy and uncreative.
16)) No prompts revolving around Christian holidays. I'm tired of it, and you can't convince me any of the main characters are Christian. You just can't. Post it to your own blog.
17)) No misgendering Murderbot unless it's to show that the character / entity misgendering it is a bad person.
Example: A random jackass misgendering Murderbot is fine, as long as it's properly portrayed as that person being a jackass. (Yes, even if it's written from the jackass's POV and they think they're a good person. It's very easy to show that the narrator is not correct even when they think they are).
You writing a whole prompt and referring to Murderbot with they/them, he/him, or she/her pronouns is misgendering and not allowed. If you do this, it will be corrected the first time. If you do it multiple times, you will just be blocked. You get once chance, and that's it.
18)) No headcannoning Murderbot as being binary trans. Why do I even have to say this. Go somewhere else if you hate nonbinary people that much.
= = = = =
Prompts can be as long as you want, but should be at least a good sized paragraph at minimum, not just a single sentence or two.
= = = = =
You can submit art as a prompt or for a prompt, as long as it follows the rules above and:
A)) Murderbot's face must not be shown (it puts in a lot of effort to hide its face as often as possible, we should respect that!). Get creative with it. There are a lot of fun ways to accomplish this.
B)) Murderbot must not be whitewashed or light-washed.
Its skin color in the official art is very dark brown, with black hair.
The image below shows the shade of its skin tone taken from official art. The background color, and the box in the middle, are the main shade, and then it is shown being affected by light and shadow.
Lighting can be more dramatic or stylized with different colors, but the brightest lighting in the world isn't going to turn a black or brown person white or pink. Do not desaturate its skin either to make it grey.
Look up tutorials on how to properly draw dark skin if you need to, there are many that people kindly make for free here on tumblr.
Tumblr media
[ID: A simple digital drawing of a hand, with a small pale orange sun next to it as a source of light. The art has a border of light orange in the same shade as the little sun, with black outlines, and the background is dark brown.
Five rectangular boxes are at the top of the screen, showing a simple gradient from warm brown to darker brown, with the the middle box the baseline, which is also the background color. The furthest left box is the lightest, the furthest right is the darkest.
The shades are placed on the simple drawing of the hand, with the brightest color used to highlight the part closest to the little sun, with the second brightest forming a larger part of the lighting, then the baseline, with the darkest color on the opposite side of the arm and fingers that are in shade, with the softer shading taking up most of the shadowed parts.
End ID.]
C)) Murderbot cannot be drawn stick thin and skinny. It's literally designed to be physically powerful and kill people and things. It is not skinny.
D)) Try to include an image description for your art whenever possible. If you do not include one, I will have to create one before it is published, so it will take longer to publish, depending on how complicated the image is.
Memes will be allowed, as long as they don't violate any of the other rules.
As long as your fics follow all the rules, you can also submit full fics here for people to read, as long as each chapter individually isn't too long to fit in a single post. Say whether or not it's okay for people to use your fics as writing prompts.
= = = = =
All prompts will be tagged:
Murderbotwritingprompts
Murderbot writing prompts
TMBD writing prompts
The Murderbot Diaries
if you want to filter them.
"blogrunner prompt" will indicate prompts created by me
"submitted prompt" will indicate prompts submitted by others
You may request specific tags to be added to your own prompts, like if you're going to be submitting a series of prompts set in the same "universe".
To maybe help keep things ordered, Each prompt will also be given a number in the order it was submitted, no matter who created it, and tagged with that number as "prompt1" "prompt2" ect.
Will this actually help anyone find prompts later? I don't know, I guess we'll see...
= = = =
Some common terms and their definitions:
Transmisia
Transmisia is indeed ""transphobia" but minus the "-phobia" suffix, because hating trans people isn't an anxiety disorder like phobias are, and people who do have phobias get treated horribly because people think it means they're bigots when they're not.
The -misia suffix comes from the word "misos" for "hatred", which is also where the word misogyny comes from! Miso-hatred, gyn-women. Misogyny = hatred of women.
_____
Athiktomisia (link to coining post)
Athiktomisia is bigotry towards people who are touch averse, with athikto translating to, roughly, untouchable or thereabouts,and the -misia suffix like above indicating hatred. Athikto+misia = hatred of those who are untouchable.
_____
Solitaremit, soliteremity, etcetera (link to coining post)
Solitaremit is a specific form of touch aversion where the person is touch averse, and also does not get ""touch starved"" or have any desire for touch at all, specifically created because many touch averse people who do not get touch starved were being alienated even in touch averse spaces, because desiring touch and being touch starved was still behind held up as normal and universal.
Solitaremity is...uh, the state of being solitaremit. Example sentence: Most people, even those who are otherwise touch averse, don't even know that solitaremity exists.
Solitaremity was created specifically to be a unique word that is brand new, and thus (meant to be) easy to search for and find, combining the words "solitary" and "hermit" for maximum emphasis.
_____
Solitaremisia
Solitaremisia is, again, the -misia suffix, combined with solitaremit to specify hatred against people who are touch averse who specifically do not desire touch in any way, even with touch starvation. Which is unfortunately a common attitude even in other touch averse people :|
_____
Gregariable
Gregariable will probably be used at some point, it was created as the counterpart to solitaremit, it means someone who desires touch and gets touch starved, whether or not they're also touch-averse. Aka, 99.99% of people are gregariable. It combines the words "gregarious" and "sociable" to create a unique word so that it would be easy to search for.
_____
Aroacemisia
Aroacemisia is bigotry against aroace people in particular, again with the -misia suffix to indicate hatred.
Amisia, acemisia, and aromisia are hatred towards aspec people in general, hatred towards asexual people, and hatred towards aro people.
_____
Exorsexism
Exorsexism is the specific hatred of nonbinary and genderqueer people, which is separate from, but sometimes a part of, transmisia.
Murderbot is nonbinary, so any transmisia it faces is inherently exorsexist.
_____
It its antagonism
it its antagonism refers to hatred targeted specifically at people who use it/its pronouns, usually always combined with exorsexism. It its antagonism is a form of neopronomisia.
_____
Neopronomisia
Neopronomisia is hatred of pronouns other than she/her or he/him. This includes but is not limited to pronouns like it/its, te/ter, and they/them.

If you make gifs and post them as a resource for the fandom, you literally can't police how people re-tag them or what they get out of them. Unless you want people to just copy or repost them, which would be a douche move, but not as much of a douche move as you trying to control the way people feel about some scenes from a show that you happened to slap together in a post. Your own fan art would be one thing but like, lol at this for real. Come on now.
they're not a RESOURCE they're a hobby i like to spend my free time on and share for those who might like them. i "slap scenes together" because something in the narrative caught my attention and i am sharing my interpretation of a scene, so me expecting people to reblog because they are interested in that particular read on the material would not be that out of line lmao. stop being assholes to gif makers and start making your own edits since it's so easy <3
no, i cannot police anything. i don't have the power to hover over your shoulder as you reblog and control what you write in the tags. and neither can i use mind control, nor am saying my opinion is Absolute. but i CAN ask people not to tag something as it was not intended by who originally posted it, and whether people do or don't isn't up to me. the worst case scenario is that i'm gonna think you're annoying, and i'm just a stranger on the internet + i'm not calling you that publicly so why should it matter? it literally takes 0 seconds to ignore and do what you want or to decided to be kind even though you don't agree :))
you're a cunt

Hey, when you reblog someone's post can you please put your comments in the tags instead of directly under a post. I'm certain you mean well but it's generally considered rude to add on to someone's post
Short answer? No Long answer: I'm going to address this ask in good faith and explain my reasoning, even though "no" is a complete sentence and I don't owe an explanation to anyone. The only reason I ended up spending over 40 minutes answering this and making my feelings clear is because I have codependency issues along with (probably) having autism, and have recently started putting more effort into dropping masks, listening to my own feelings, and allowing myself to disagree with people. Part of that is just being more clear with myself and I decided I wanted to share it on my blog. Firstly: I would 100% be willing to have a conversation with you about this, but I would prefer a direct message over an anonymous ask. An anonymous ask immediately raises my defenses. It doesn't even grant me the basic respect of knowing who I'm talking to and turns what should be a private conversation into this, which I have to post on the off chance you might read it. Secondably: If this is behavior that's "considered rude" by general consensus, this is literally the first time I've ever heard this. That doesn't mean it's *not,* but it does mean I have 0 reason to believe that what you're saying is true when it fully contradicts my experience on this website. If you had said "*some people* don't like when you reblog their content and comment on it" I would definitely understand and respect that to the best of my ability. But that only works if i KNOW WHO FEELS THAT WAY and since you've asked ANONYMOUSLY then what am i supposed to do? I’m editing this after the fact, I messaged a friend and this is something that has apparently become commonly accepted as good etiquette since when I was on tumblr years ago and when i came back. The rest of my points still stand though, I won’t be changing how I choose to run my blog based on this artificial constraint that I don’t understand. Maybe that’s just the autism talking. Thirdly: what are you even talking about. the entire functionality of this website is built around reblogging and posts that have multiple additions Fourthly: it's my blog and i choose how i get to run it. If that doesn't gel with your blog and how you choose to run it, then block me, that's what it's there for But anonymously telling me I'm being rude, appealing to some general consensus which may or may not exist doesn't feel like my humanity is being respected, it feels like someone trying to get me to do what they want without even the courtesy of a conversation about it. (if you're still reading, asker, this next part's really not about you, so don't take it personally) I've put up with parents, teachers, bosses, partners, friends doing this to me for nearly 30 fucking years and i'm not doing it anymore. When you default to what others expect from you so deeply that you become incapable of knowing what you want or who you even are, and you build your entire life and self-conception around what other people think about you, you end up in this place where you don't allow yourself to even consider that you're the wrong fucking gender, that maybe you're neurodivergent and need support, that maybe you're being taken advantage of, whatever it might be. Let me be clear, I'm not blaming or insinuating the asker is doing anything even remotely as damaging as this. I'm only writing about my own experience with neurodiversity, masking, and codependence for my own sake on my own blog. also lemme know in the replies if you think this is something that actually is “generally considered rude” or not, cuz i am genuinely curious now. *edited*

not a req, jus need to talk about regressor max for a sec bc!?
she’s either super bratty and likes to annoy the party or she’s just baby:0 like 2-5
even though she doesn’t act like it she loves dolls and dressing them up with el!(little el or not they enjoy it very much)
steve is basically everything billy wasn’t and spoils her with that harrington money;) showering her with toys and love EEEEE
does everything in her power to tick off mike and she and el will pull pranks on him whenever they can:>
coolest toddler you’ll ever see, rolling around steve’s carport on her skateboard, stuffie under her arm, glaring at everyone giving her a weird look( she still a girlboss when little)
hates naps because the party forces her to get her rest but she just wants to run around with el
for some strange reason i feel like little her and little jonathan would be besties and color together while everyone just watches them, dying from cuteness overload
she’s just so * excited happy noises* i ADORE her<333
YEAAS TALK ABT REGRESSOR MAX!!! USE UR VOICE!!!
🛹 HCISHDIWI lucas is v observant so he can tell what mood max is in based JUST off the way she talks & holds herself so he starts acting accordingly & everyone else follows suit ,, 2 - 5, she's deff a handful !! i feel like however old she feels depends on what her mood is ,, like around 2 / 3 she's Baby but 4 / 5 is her menace era
🛹 el keeps this little dollhouse w her so whenever max is over / el visits her, she has it so they can play some wacky version of house together! max enjoys every SINGLE second of it, but if ANYONE mentions it while she's big she's like "no literally what are you talking about shut up shut UP."
🛹 jfc steve spoils her ROTTEN when it comes to toys & love. max can harness the Puppy Dog Eyes & as strong as steve may think he is, he's a sucker for em. they go into the store with the intention of buying five toys, but they walk out with seven & a couple of scoops of ice cream (with robin going "smh dude you've fallen for the puppy dog eyes AGAIN"). steve wouldn't have it any other way
🛹 MAX AND EL KEEP A SCOREBOARD OF WHO TICKED OFF MIKE THE MOST WITH THEIR SHENANIGANS .. so far el is winning but max is coming in a close second, HOWEVER max is winning in terms of the most BAFFLING pranks they can pull on mike. every time he thinks he's seen it all they're like NOPE & it's gotten to the point where he hesitates going thro doorways bc he doesn't wanna be wacked in the face with flour
🛹 SMALL GIRLBOSS MAX <33 her stuffie wears a pair of steve's old sunglasses. this is deff based off the regressor max moodboard i have reblogged but max is a little less steady on her board than she is big, so her hands n knees r covered in these cool bandaids
🛹 the only surefire way to get her to nap is if el lays down with her while she dozes off. there have been times where the party is like "is it really taking that long to set her down?" so they go check on them ... & el is asleep right next to her <3
🛹 HDVQIFIA0CUA9DUW8DB * CRIES * OH MY GOD SMALL MAX / JONNY DUO THATS SUCH A CUTE IDEA WAAAAAIT ≧﹏≦ okokok jonny tends to be rlly quiet when he's small – it's like his voice is permanently in some kind of whisper mode IF he chooses to talk – meanwhile max is not afraid to use her voice if she needs something ... so if jonny like, gets thirsty, he'll tell max & max will go "WIIIIIIIILL, JONNY'S THIRSTYYYYYY" at the TOP of her lungs & it startles EVERYONE. they could be sitting in complete silence, engrossed in whatever show they have on for the little ones (bc oh ... oh this is actually good) in case they get bored of coloring ... & then max goes "JONNY WANTS HIS PACI!!!" & everyone leaps like 5 feet in the air AHAJSJSI ... JEEZ I LOVE THEM SM

#i’m 2% mad that the first lyric is missing a word but that’s bc i’m a cranky bastard who obsesses over lyrics to an unhealthy degree
My Top Posts in 2022 below the cut lol
#5
I started thinking about this on Twitter and had to elaborate: People are interpreting the "you didn't kill Anakin Skywalker" line as Anakin seeing Obi-Wan sad and summoning a shred of his former self to absolve Obi-Wan of guilt. But while that was its EFFECT, I don’t think that was Anakin’s INTENTION. I think he was still trying to hurt Obi-Wan.
Anakin can’t STAND the pity and regret -- it makes him furious. It reminds him of how far he’s fallen and what he’s become. In claiming responsibility for his own corruption, he's trying to hammer home that he isn't a traumatized young adult who was trapped by the trauma of a global war and manipulated by one of the only people who showed they cared about him -- even if he absolutely is that person. But he's TRYING to be his evilest version of himself, to say that he's a monster and he made himself that way and he WANTS to be one.
He’s lashing out in an attempt to reject Obi-Wan's compassion -- that last bit of his past, his "feelings" for his former master -- and, by accident, stumbling into exactly what Obi-Wan needed to hear.

you'll wish she didn't!
For science, I collected what each of the Houses hears when Gideon speaks to them for the first time.
Seventh: "Yo. Step off." (when Cytherea faints)
Sixth: "Then get off your ass and help me."
Fifth: never got to hear her talk :(
Fourth: thee line of all time, which is to say, "Did you know that if you put the first three letters of your last name with the first three letters of your first name, you get 'Sex Pal'?"
Eighth: "They had names, you lily-livered, tooth-coloured asshole, and if you want to make a thing about it, I warn you that I'm in the kind of mood that can only be alleviated by walloping you."
Corona: "No. I thought their arms would all flop around." (in response to Corona asking if she's seen a necro hold a sword before)
Ianthe/Babs, probably also the Second: "Why?" (after they gather to confront Cyth about Pro's head)

today's hot take is that Andreas of Eraklyon is basically just the Chosen One who's grown up into a man with PTSD who's still being manipulated by the person who put him in that position to start with.

Bond/Felix/Della Headcanons for Polyamory Day
Tumblr media
I think the screencap speaks for itself, but just in case anyone had any doubts, here is a ship manifesto:
The above scene occurs.
This is the second time that Della kisses Bond again on her wedding day.
Della's idea of ways to pull her husband's best man over to where she wants him is to grip the fabric at the small of his back this way.

Raoul Silva/Tiago Rodriguez Headcanons
Tumblr media
In honor of headcanons day, here are some about arguably my second-favorite villain.
He's Portuguese by way of Macau rather than being European. As a result, he speaks Cantonese, Mandarin, Portuguese, English, and Macanese with equal fluency.
He's got multiple sisters, none of whom know he's alive as of Skyfall.
He considers Tiago Rodriguez to be his name. Silva is an alias at best that comes from two of his middle names combined.
He was framed by General Chang when the Chinese stealth technology went missing in early 1997. The timeline lines up exactly with the events of Tomorrow Never Dies.
He's on some fairly serious pain medication more or less constantly and has some leftover health issues from being tortured for five months beyond the obvious damage to his face
His hair is that color naturally.
He was 008 during his time with MI6 - the one that M mentions calling in from Hong Kong during Living Daylights who "follows orders, not instincts".
He absolutely can't drive to save his life nor should he with the said pain meds on board.
His only pet is a small black rabbit.
He's got a playlist for just about everything (yes, including vengeance)
Like M, he's got terrible aim. He prefers explosions.

Alec Trevelyan Headcanons
Tumblr media
And of course, I can't do a post about my second-favorite villain without doing another about literally my favorite villain/character in the entire series!
Loves driving but frequently gets relegated to the passenger seat if Bond is present
He's the sort who has names for guns he likes
Comes from a working-class background but hides it now that he's a double-0. That crisp accent is hard-won and slips sometimes.
Alec didn't defect. Instead, he woke up after the explosion and was subjected to torture for months using a combination of physical pain mixed with the kind of drugs they use to cause amnesia during surgery. They'd hurt him, force him to repeat what they told him, and then make sure he didn't remember any of the actual events consciously. They'd then wake him up, "explain" things to him, and let him assume the pain and anger and fear he felt was the result of betrayal. He might never fully remember any of this.
He's allergic to mushrooms and certain other fungi.
He's always been fond of a good explosion.
Reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated. In fact, they're outright lies, because Bond could no more drop him off a satellite than he could voluntarily take a vow of celibacy. Instead Alec spent several years getting un-brainwashed.
He and Bond have a dog named Spring. She's a Staffordshire terrier and they name her Spring because she's bouncing up and down out of boredom when they find her.
On mission, he's all charm and elegance. Off-mission he's a cheesy chips at the pub and cereal for breakfast without bothering to get dressed kind of guy

My #1 post of 2022
ok but for real - POV: you're Saul Silva. Your dad died at your hand because of a Burned One, you killed your best friend because he wanted to slaughter civilians, and the PTSD off of both of those things is off the charts, and that's before we get to the bit where you fought a war and had to imprison your former commander for war crimes. You raised your former friend's son because you're a good egg trying really hard to do the right thing.
And then - and THEN - in the space of a few months - you yourself get infected by the same thing that killed your father. You find out that the thing you killed your friend over is maybe not what you thought it was and those civilians were potentially actually enemies after all. You find out that the friend you thought you killed is alive and has been in hiding for 16 years, the commander you imprisoned gets free and has you arrested, and then you find out that your other friend who hides you and who helped you take down your evil commander is the literal Worst and that friend tries to kill you using your former friend who you thought you killed. Oh, and the former friend ends up dead again and now your foster son semi-hates you because you didn't quite tell him the truth about what happened to his dad.
Oh, and on top of all this, your other friend whom you've spent all these years with, who relied on you and whom you loved dearly, is now dead too because of your former commander.
How the fuck is Saul not rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere having a breakdown? How is he even remotely still sane?

A post here reminded me of how much I love Hannah Gadsby.
[Angry white men] are like the canaries in the mine, aren't they? If they're having a tough time, the rest of us are goners.

Me: oh, lovely, they're doing a fun thing with English lit, nice! Unfortunately I don't have time for it, I would have loved to partake. I have never actually read Dracula. I really should do that at some point.
Also me: finds the Dracula book I bought for my 19th century lit course and suddenly remembers the essay I wrote on the feminisation of Johnathan Harker.
Ah, yes, thank you, brain

@xiaq my book arrived!!! I was kinda worried I wouldn't be able to find it here in the Netherlands, but my favourite bookstore came through and was able to order it for me 😁😁
Can't wait to read it and see how it's changed!

My #1 post of 2022
So for all you people with executive dysfunction, specifically you ADHD folk, there's a trick I've been using for a while now to get out of it that I call the Lift-A-Finger™ (except, y'know, not actually TM, because in this economy???)
But what, Birdy, is the Lift-A-Finger™? I hear you ask. Well! You remember those times when you sat down and you tried to do something? You had a whole list of plans, you knew which order they had to go in, but your executive dysfunction simply made it impossible to actually do it? If you are anything like me, you might be suffering from this right now, as you are reading this.
And while your body refuses to cooperate, your mind is screaming bloody murder and demanding you lift a finger once in your goddamn life, you (insert one of the many things people have said about you which were wrong that you have since internalised)!!!
So, instead of doing any of the tasks that seem so incredibly insurmountable and impossible, instead I want you to take a moment, do as your brain demands and literally lift a finger.
That's it. You stop your doomscrolling, your binge watching, your game replays for a second, and you consciously lift a finger.
This is not an impossible task, it is not even a hard task, or a long task, or a boring one. It literally takes a second and then you can continue what you're doing. Except. Now you've done A Thing. You get to cross off one of your to-dos (of which you probably have many) and this makes it so much easier to get up to do another thing.
It is also an incredibly effective tool at recognising your mental state. I have had moments where lifting a finger took me minutes. Actually acknowledging that yes, tasks are hard, made it easier for me to relax my load a bit and do the few things I could do. But I've also had moments where I thought of it, did it immediately and nothing changed. That's okay, too. I just had to grab a different tool to get up and do what I needed to do.
TL;DR executive dysfunction? Stop for a second and literally lift a finger with Lift-A-Finger™!
