#they seem human. They aren't.

[altra]

Have been losing a week reading @naffeclipse s fic cryptid sightings.

An absolutely stunning fic about fnaf sun and moon as a cryptid that follows a cryptid hunter! Reader around.

I started reading it and when I looked up from my phone the week was over.

And now I fantasies about it and like. What if it was the other way around and reader was the cryptid?

Eldritch horror style creature reader taking on human form and starting at Freddy fazbears for some reason or another.

When there is suddenly something way quirkier at night at fazbears than the Animatronics :'D

#fnaf security breach #fnaf sun #fnaf moon #cryptid Reader #eldritch reader #ya all should read cryptid sightings #cryptid sun and moon #imagine someone starts at fazbear #they seem human. They aren't. #That one person that's quirkier than the Animatronics. #they totally romance the daycare attended. #imagine an eldritch horror wrangling moon into submission

Emotional scene from Muppets Star Trek.

#star trek #muppets #data tng #picard #tng #kermit #fan art #next gen #okay so like… #this is obviously mostly intended as a joke but also #human is arbitrary #especially in star trek where every other planet seems to have its own sapient nonhuman species #human is fucking arbitrary #data holds humanhood as the ideal because he was built by humans #but also because the qualities that are most often used to define him as 'lesser' are qualities that humans especially seem to prize #nobody's tries to claim that vulcans aren't real people because they don't feel emotion #or that ferengi don't show enough empathy to qualify #we don't get any betazoids going around saying that true personhood is defined by how good you are at mindreading #in a world where the enterprise was crewed by muppets #and data genuinely was the closest thing to a human onboard #Measure Of A Man would have been about Picard trying to prove that you can't have someone dismantled #just because they can't sing or travel by map

I think the good thing about people being silly about the gay dogs is that the dogs get to be silly. No more murder. No more angst. Only worm.

The thing I hate most about "parental rights" is how it's used to actually mean "if I lose even one ounce of absolute control over my child, regardless of what they want or what's good for them, my rights are being violated!"

#youth liberation #it's just weird seeing people who (as kids) resented and despised that they weren't seen as human beings but now they treat their kids... #...the way they HATED being treated when they were younger... #...like people seem to thrive once they become an adult and are seen as actual people (which is good)... #...but then they get swept up in almost exacting revenge by treating their own kids like livestock... #...your rights as a parent aren't being violated because you now have to treat your kid like a human being... #...and if your parental rights RELIES on being able to treat your kid like an animal that's actually a BAD thing

The sick feeling you get in your stomach as an undiagnosed/closeted autistic hearing friends/loved ones make fun of or talk about "what's wrong with" the openly autistic people you know

#sometimes I think about telling certain people and then I'm reminded why I shouldn't <3 #em rambles #autism #autistic #actually autistic #autistic things #ableism #even the people who do know are still iffy sometimes like you may think 'I usually don't get along with autistic people' is a compliment bu #it just makes me uncomfortable lmao #idk it's just like. yeah I don't 'seem' autistic with great intentionality around certain people because they've shown #me how unsafe it is lmao #I just hate that people think you're just quirky and different until you put the autistic label on it then there's something WRONG with you #or say you couldn't be autistic because there's nothing WRONG with you you're not THAT bad you're not LIKE THAT #I mean like. ideally I would like me telling people to expand people's ideas of what an autistic person looks/acts like but the sad reality #is that it'll just end in either disbelief or bullying #most likely #you know in ratatouille when remi thinks humans aren't so bad and then his dad shows him that shop with the dead rats and rat poison and #traps and the next morning remi tries walking down the street and people scream and throw stuff at him and call rats disgusting creatures #and he says 'I was reminded how fragile it all was' #that's the vibe as a closeted autistic lmao #you find people who accept you and think maybe it's not that dangerous. maybe it'd be okay #and then other people remind you why you mask in the first place #my autism is the rat hiding inside my hat

Adrestia :

I will defeat the false goddess. I will save this world from those creatures and give humanity its freedom back!

Should the one leading the people of the world be someone with humanity or a creature that can merely masquerade as a human at will?

The children of the goddess have been defeated at last. The shape of the world will be forever changed. Humanity is free now. The world is ours once again.

You are a child of the goddess. You must not be allowed power over the people!

Brigid :

The Demon's hair exhibits new color. It is like something from one of Brigid's old stories. "One will be chosen by the spirits and granted their protection. And with that protection, great power."

In Brigid, we have legends. Stories containing people who have a spirit living inside of them. Those spirit people have much strength. They are maybe able to fly in the air or race across the ocean. Hair that shines and eyes that glow... They have qualities that are not unlike what you are looking like, Professor. Do not have doubt, Professor. The powers you have are like the powers of the legends.

Silly Petra, hopefully in Tru Piss and Supreme Bullshit, she's fully Adrestianised and understands her foolish savage folklore were only lies and deceit spread by those vile creatures masquerading as humans to keep control over Fodlan, but savage and ignorant as her people are, they prefered to buy those lies instead of "defeating" them all to free the world for humanity.

And people say Imperialism BaD, go figure!

But if Petra remains uncivilised and ditches Adrestia's warm embrace, she allows those creatures to rule over humanity again, propagating her foolish and ridiculous tales :(

#fodlan nonsense #this line in nopes hits hard #she's talking about Sothis!Billy #but hey if Billy is now a spirit person like the persons in her legends #why isn't she wondering why the fuck are we attacking them? #given how green hair and green eyes aren't vested like crusts with a blood transfusion #and Billy needed Sothis to become green #how the crap are people turning green in Brigid? #Unless Brigid had half nabateans? And sometimes with magic genetics a 1/25th Nabatean inherits the powers and traits of their nabatean #ancestor? #unless we're supposed to believe there are Nabateans living in Brigid and maybe having kids #and that's the excuse they came up to explain why they're different from the humans living there? #Granted Petra doesn't seem to have any negative view about Nabs unlike Supreme Leader #which makes the entire Tru Piss route a giant circus #unlike we're supposed to believe that just like Supreme Bullshit Ferdie #Petra actively hunts Nabateans with Supreme Leader to make her allegiance clear just in case #idk #tfw Flayn has Brigid cousins chilling when she's out there in Fodlan wondering if she could ever live in peace in her home and invited them #someday #the 'great power' part from SB though #given how she says this after seeing Billy!Sothis in the path where we kill them #it raises all kinds of red flags remember last time humans knew nabateans had great power? #oh well #3 nopes #FE16

one thing about me is I Will make a playlist. this is an ongoing threat and there is no stopping me

#i approach the mic at the front of the stage. i am making a sifloop playlist #the crowd cheers. i nervously tug my suit collar and lean towards the mic #but its not in a romantic subtext and i dont actually like the rom ship #the crowd throws tomatoes at me and i sadly walk off stage #LIKE OKAY LISTEN i do not understand the rom aspect people seem to cling to. but I Get sifloop. does this make sense #there is no rom aspect with them to me. loop hates themself and their care for sif is the second chance they never got #basic human empathy no longer exists when you aren't really 'human' anymore #<<< said by my lovely friend jesper cause yeah. they get it. we get it #so now my struggle is making this playlist and sending beams of 'please god this isnt rom' to anyone who may listen to it lmao #busy.🐝

I headcanon that Strickler's energy for his transformation transitions are slow when he's in a lot of physical pain.

#In the Trollhunters episode of “Bad Coffee”; Strickler's tranformation transition from troll to human seemed slower than normal #And it's easy to see he was in a lot of pain when he put his hands on his face/head #And talked in a tone where it sounded like he is in pain #The poor guy got smacked on the forehead with a big textbook and hit the back of his head on the floor #I think the gravesand could've also made his headache worse in a way #But I do believe that the speed for a changeling's transformation transition can get slowed down from a lot of pain #Than still being at the usual fast speed when they aren't in a lot of pain. #tales of arcadia #trollhunters #walter strickler #stricklander #waltolomew stricklander

People should stop associating being asexual with being sex repulsed or I'm going to lose the last crumbs of my sanity

#and for those that have no reading comprehension #im not saying that there aren't sex repulsed asexuals #please dear gods bless people with reading comprehension #asexual #asexual spectrum #talk to real people sometimes cause some of you seem to have a worse grasp on humanity than ai bots #queer #asexuality

My friend and I started watching Bodies cause we were curious about it and had just finished House of Usher so we were the mood for something else to watch, and we clocked the 1890's detective as gay so fast it's kinda hilarious. Sir you did not need to eye fuck the journalist like that.

#Bodies #Random #Tv show thoughts #Bodies netflix #Only watched the first episode so far but it seems like each detective is some sort of minority which is interesting #2023 one is Muslim 1941 one is Jewish 1890 one is gay #Idk what the 2053 one is I don't think she's a robot cause it's only 30 years in the future #and unless they go the DBH/Prey route where history is altered to speed up the history of human advancement #I think robots that look exactly like humans aren't something we can achieve in 30 years #But I could be wrong #Maybe a cyborg #Or maybe she's an existing minority #Like trans or neurodivergent or something #Or maybe it's just a coincidence that the other 3 are notable minorities lol #I haven't memorized their names yet so I'm referring to them by their dates for now lol

as far as social media sites go, even if some people on here are. A Lot. And there's bad corners, as per everywhere... Still, compared to Some Other Large Sites there is an appreciation for the Human here. The experience of being human, the joy of creation, exploration of the reasons we share things and the motivations and experiences of authors. Of reflecting on how works impacted us. How even simple funne posts or whatever impact us.

#in the corner ive pruned for myself at least i feel much surer that we all understand that intention in media matters lol #like. i saw a post by some tech shithead about how “the future could be that we never have to watch or read the same thing twice” #implicitly that thanks to AI we'd never have to consume the same thing twice. #and i just. felt like an alien #bc even though he was obviously being ratioed to fuck #very few people were saying explicitly “that would blow who even wants that” #but i know for a damn fact all my mutuals here who have read the same 3 books on rotation for decades bc they were formative got me lol #personal #text post #People who don't create and have in fact removed the idea that they could ever create are black holes of humanity btw #even if you think you aren't creative most of us have at least some hobby where we make SOMETHING #whether you took to mending your own shoes or DIYing or playing guitar or dnd or woodworking or 3D printing or collecting retro synths #you likely have something you relax with #channel feelings into #these people seem to have never once experienced the human concepts of exploration or creation or play. all they have is consumption. #and its making me even more mental than i already am lol

hey i just found ur blog and i love ur gay dogs. i love the way u do expressions and clothes! u rly nail the stretchy elastic look of skin that the type of hound vasco is has. also for some reason when i first rly looked at machete i thought to myself "its weird i dont do anthro art considering i dislike drawing human heads and giving ppl animalistic traits" so thanks for the, idk, inspiration? realization?

Thank you! I'm glad you like them!

#elasticity and the way skin wrinkles and folds are actually something I pay very close attention to #it's one of those small seemingly insignificant details that make things seem more real and alive in my opinion #many mammalian bodies are surprisingly stretchy and flexible #answered #dykeofalltrades #maybe you should give anthro art a try #human heads aren't very fun just pick an animal and do the ol' switcheroo #have a teeny-tiny furry awakening as a treat

At the end of the day, I've learned that it doesn't matter whether or not being trans is the ~newest social contagion~, people would either want all ten of us dead or all fifteen billion of us. The "social contagion" theory is a stepping stone to how we, apparently, deserve the genocide people advocate for, and the ideas of what constitutes a "social contagion" are the justification.

When you realize that, you realize that what people aren't arguing is that Big Trans is doing Bad Thing and only that must be stopped, but that your kind shouldn't exist.

You don't reason with contagions, and you certainly don't argue facts and logic with it. You eradicate it. And that is the end goal.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #the bigger picture is that being trans Is Bad and You Shouldn't Be Trans #if being trans were a neutral thing then it wouldn't fucking matter who is trans and who is not #remember that words like virus and illness and pollution are also synonyms with contagion #they aren't viewing transness as a thing that some people are but as a *literal* virus of the mind body and soul #and do you treat a virus by sitting down with it at a debate poduim with notecards in hand? #NO. you fucking eradicate it. you destroy the virus however you can. #THAT is the appeal of the social contagion theory... #...it takes the human impulse of wanting to destroy harmful things (e.g. viruses) and applies it to actual human people... #...they did it with gay people. they're *still* doing it with gay people... #...and they always fucking will until you stop viewing it as a fucking Sin Of Mind Body And Soul... #...what queer transphobes seem to forget is that they are just as contaminated as we are in the minds of cishet patriarchy... #...we are all talking manifestations of actual viruses in their mind.

Crazy humans are weird idea I just had while I was brushing my teeth. Okay, so what if our world is the only one where people and animals are designed to be able to create and communicate with sound? Not that the other alien species can't hear or make sound at all, if they step on a twig it still snaps, if they clap their hands it still makes a sound, their breathing can still be audible, and a stampede of elephant-equivalents will still make a thunderous stampede noise you'd need to be able to feel and hear, but what if none of them have vocal cords? What if the closest they can get is a sort of hoarse screech of unconventionally forceful breathing? What if we're the only ones with speech and birdsong?

Alien species communicate through tap-stomp dancing and facial expressions and sign/body language and rhythmic drumbeat patterns and little handpats on whatever surface is available (including themselves).

Nothing could have prepared them for our thousands of languages, the sheer volume we're just effortlessly capable of, the precision and variety and eloquence in the sounds we can produce. The apparent cacophony of birdsong and crickets chirping and cats meowing and lions roaring and dogs barking and whalesong, and just all the vastly different sounds everything on our planet can make. The musical instruments which aren't just percussion and string, but also wind instruments.

Just- what if we were the only ones with speech?

If I were more creative and less tired right now I'd write a mini-fic thing, if anyone sees this and somehow gains that kind of inspiration, PLEASE do, I'd be honored, thank you.

#humans are weird #what if we're the only ones with speech #that would be so cool #like they send their ambassador to make first contact and our human ambassador sticks out a hand to shake #and that's all well and good- they aren't sure what the right response to that is but it seems like a friendly gesture #but then the human says something normal like “hi welcome to Earth we're so excited to finally meet another intelligent life form” #and the alien just freaks out and screeches awkwardly and takes a huge step back staring in disbelief #and starts doing some sort of sign language or tapdance or both at once that roughly translates to “wtf was that” #“what do you mean you can make sounds that specific and meaningful out of your eating hole” #the linguists we brought along and the hopeful attempts at universal translators we made based on Star Trek are both having a hard time #all the other humans are weird things that I've seen never seem to have mentioned language barriers #our sound is both beautiful and horrifying #humans are space orcs #aliens

Do you think the Rise turtles are nocturnal or diurnal (active at night or during the day)

Some episodes have them parade in the broad daylight but in majority of them there's nighttime outside...

#rottmnt #for mutants that spend their days in hiding it would make sense for them to be nocturnal #but in rise the turtles seem to want to participate in regular human activities way more #txt #my train of thought was inspired by Late Fee when it's apparently not a big deal for them to be out at mightnight as teenagers #and they aren't considering this unusual either
