#we doing our best folks :)

[uncanny-tranny]

If you truly want to do what's best for mentally ill people, you have to learn that you often won't be able to separate the "salvageable" parts of ourselves with our illnesses, and you can't pretend like we are sane people underneath the façade of insanity, like we can flip a switch and magically erase the differences that make us "disordered"

#mental health #mental health advocacy #i'm not sure how best to explain it but i see this attitude a lot that anything even mildly 'unsightly' must be punished or ignored... #...or fear mongered... #...or this idea that we *are* just secretly... not disordered and that we can choose every single aspect of our disorders and how... #...that will impact us and our world #it's really hard to explain if you haven't experienced it yourself. it's so hard to know that who you Fundamentally Are is seen as unhuman #that you cannot be disordered and seen as an equal in so many scenarios is precisely what i mean by 'if you want to do right [by us]' #we shouldn't HAVE to present as non-disordered or non-ill just to be treated like a person #i shouldn't have to be forced to pretend like my illnesses are an optional part of who i am that OTHERS should ignore so they can 'love me' #my illnesses are intrinsically tied to Who I Am. i will never have the opportunity to know what Being Sane is like and i shouldn't... #...have to pretend like that isn't the case #it's just fucked up to me to know that people would rather that we just... ignore often fundamental parts of who we are for *their* comfort #maybe that's how i'd word it? i find this a very complex topic but at the core... #...the idea is that we shouldn't have to fucking live a lie for the sake of the 'normal' folk #(obviously 'normal' isn't accurate on a technical level but it conveys how i see the conflict)

“You did so well”

It’s the way whumper says it—the way they speak to whumpee. It’s their voice—half the time angry, biting, and degrading, only to mutate into something sickeningly sweet in the aftermath of the pain, when whumper leans in close with sticky murmurs of affection—of mocking praise.

A toxic, slimy liquid that drips from whumper’s lips and oozes thick and heavy down whumpee’s ears and neck and shoulders.

It makes whumpee’s skin crawl. 

Or at least, it did.

At first. 

But there comes a point, during the more creative of whumper’s tortures, where the pain becomes too much, where the excruciating burn of the knife or the sear of the brand is blacking out whumpee’s brain and shoving their head deep underwater, shrinking their existence down through a tiny pinhole, only to be materialized again on the other side, dazed beyond belief, panting and shaking and still bound in whumper’s arms. 

It’s those precious few moments of reprieve in the aftermath, where the warmth of whumper’s shoulder against their cheek is enough for whumpee to sink into it— For their teeth to unclench, for their shoulders to slump against whumper’s torso, for their shaking knees to crumple into whumper’s lap.

For each part of them to give up—to give in— until they’re spilling hot tears into the fabric between shaking, heaving breaths, staining whumper’s shirt with the small beads of blood that still weep from their bitten lip.

Whumper only holds whumpee’s head tightly against their shoulder and let’s them ride out the sobs.

I'll ramble more abt her later when i post art of her (i swear im finishing it) #back to scylla n neuvi #so. yeah. we got confirmation that scylla's the prev hydro dragon. ain't that cool. [refer to edit at the bottom] #also i read on the hoyo web prior to 4.6 that he's gonna function as our remurian taxi and i was vv excited for scylla every since #bc it tickles me SO MUCH that the previous hydro dragon that we're gonna meet soon IS GOING TO BE OUR PERSONAL TAXI #also like at the end of the quest we're buddy buddy with him and calling him big guy.

Heh, big W for us apprentices: we got the fucking terf magazine banished from the last of our libraries that had it! The evil is defeated! 🎉🎉🎉

#we just all collectively complained about it to our head instructor #who happens to be a) a staunch queer ally and b) the vice head librarian of the library that still had that trash #officially the magazine fell victim to budget cuts #but inofficially we know it's bc she agrees with us that terf content isn't something we want to endorse at our libraries #esp given that head instructor has been doing her best to convince the higher ups to hire visibly queer folks since she took over #and if you want queer employees then you can't keep shit like that around #layne.txt #library stuff

I know it's very likely to end up romantic in the show but like I am choosing to see Huntlow as Queerplatonic until otherwise stated because it's just so sweet

I'm going to tell you fun little a secret anon: You can see it as queerplatonic no matter what! There's no rules against it!

Like perhaps this is something we lost the plot on a bit in back in the aspec discourse mines of 2015-2018, but there's nothing wrong with preferring a duo as queerplatonic instead of romantic -- they're both meaningful types of relationships that, depending on the people involved, can look incredibly similar. I'm a little baffled by the fact that so many people talk like you can only think that up until a point.

People ship non-canon ships, I don't see why we're not allowed to do the opposite and say we like it when two characters that appear to be a couple are actually into each other queerplatonically. Especially with characters where the shoe really seems to fit. I know I happen to like queerplatonic Willow and Hunter because the two of them remind me so much of my and my qpp (Which is one reason I'm not a fan of how a lot of shippers tend to talk about them -- it's fine to prefer it as a romantic relationship, but looking at their interactions and saying the "only" explanation is romance or there's no way the two of them stay "just friends" makes me feel pretty uncomfy, seeing as Willow and Hunter don't really act any differently than she and I do with each other)

Anyways, that's just my two cents, but I really do hope more folks take it to heart. I've seen a lot of people saying they would like to interpret them as aspec or in a queerplatonic relationship but feel like they won't be able to anymore if the show does certain things, to which I say: Be free! Queer headcanons are tethered to our wants and desires, not some specter of what we're "allowed" to do. Queerplatonic partnerships are not obligated to exist only until eclipsed by romantic desire! We are allowed to steal them back!

I know I've got at least one aspec Hunter fic idea I intend to write sometime after TOH ends regardless of how things play out in the show (and possibly even influenced by them), as does my qpp if her curse allows, and I hope other folks who like aspec/queerplatonic Willow and Hunter as a dynamic will join us.

Queerplatonic-ing ships is good for the soul! Don't settle for having dynamics that bring you joy stolen from you! People like us are allowed to take up space and tell stories too!

#i hope this doesn't come across as patronizing i just feel very strongly about it #sending love to my comrades fighting the good fight #i met one of my best internet friends because we both had STRONG feelings about queerplatonic luke/mara in like 2014 #and we were so right #anyways folks who queerplatonic ships are cool; folks who ship those ships but just let us do our thing in peace are cool #we can in fact all be cool to each other. in fact i encourage it #f: us weirdos have to stick together

So you choose not to step through the door, after all why mess with nonsense when you're already in nonsense? You check the items in your pockets, your phone you shut off to conserve power, the dog tag, key and top clink together but offer no help, and when you fiddle with the walkie-talkie you manage to get it to turn on, excitedly you call out to the void but only static responds, which is disappointing but predictable, so you put the items away and hunker down for the night, looking at the sky you can see that the stars seem strange, though you're no expert, and the moon seems to have a second smaller moon near it which looks pretty cool but is a stark reminder of how not on your own world your predicament has landed you.

In the morning you begin looking through the nearby bushes and plant life taking note of anything strange, you notice the berries you had been picking before you stepped through the door are also growing around here, they look and taste the same, and some other plants seem pretty similar to the forest from before as well, although the further away from the door you go the more unfamiliar plants you come across (of course that may just be your lack of familiarity with plants) and the few animals you have noticed are bizarre in a way that you can't explain, like the people from town, they seem almost perfectly familiar, just a little off and the noises they make have you thinking they wouldn't be able to communicate with their counterparts either, brushing aside another branch you come across a strange funnel made of metal which you pocket and what looks to be a regular whistle, you wipe it down and blow but hear nothing aside from the air going through, you consider it is either broken or maybe a dog whistle, as you go to put it away you hear something big running in your direction, before you can decide how to react a large creature storms out of the bushes and stops in the clearing before you, it's huge as a horse with paws and sharp teeth it licks as it looks around and spots you, it shakes its head again reminding you of a horse, then steps closer before turning and staring expectantly, you get the feeling it's waiting on you, impatiently, and you realize it seems to expect you to get on its back. Do you get on?

Yes.

#I am a terrible terrible Irish child #Clearly all those folk tales whose only moral was “don’t climb on the strange horse” were lost on me. Technically not a horse though. So. H #Uh please don’t run into the bog with my on your back strange horse thing. #…This may be one of my worse ideas #On one hand moving away from what appears to be the only connection my world doesn’t sound like a great idea #Back through the door is logically the the best bet. However I’ve already explored the area #The only thing to do would be to just sit there for hours and that will get me nowhere. The things that do have leads like the walkie- #Sputtering are things to pay attention to but not things that are likely to change if I don’t move. The whistle is the newest thing- #And let’s be real I’ve been in the bramble for like 14 hours without the neurospicy meds I am teetering on dangerously antsy #Probably better to get on the horse before I come up with something more stupid #It’s interesting my world flora seems to surround the door. I wish I’d payed more attention before I stepped through #If the nearby flora on the other side seemed like it would come from this world it would suggest that the door just leaks between universes #In two ways. If it’s earths flora then it’s either only leaking one way which we could no from one step through #Or - which we will not know but should pay attention for if we step into some other world - if the earths flora shows up around EVERY porta #Which would suggest earth is the base in some way #It might be beneficial to climb a tree to try and see farther out #Though I don’t exactly get many opurtunited to haul myself up a tree so I would put to much stock in a)my upper body strength #And b) my ability to chose a tree that won’t kill me #It’s defintley worth taking in as much info as possible. I’ll try and notice things like different winds gravity tempature ect #What should i tag this all. Help I got lost in a blackberry bush? Anon who takes me to alternate planes of reality? #I know #Guys I got lost in a bush #That’s a good one. Nothing weird there at all. #FINE I’ll rage it “guys I got lost in a blackberry bush” #I wonder what makes things so familiar. Perhaps this world exists very closely to the other. Perhaps they’ve crossed paths before. #Perhaps they’ve shown up in our dreams. Perhaps I have bad memory and my brain gaslights itself into thinking everything’s familiar #I wonder maybe the horse is a horse/dog thing- that would explain the likeness to the dog whistle (?) #This can’t get any worse I say doing something that could very much make it worse #Eh what’s the worst that can happen. At least I don’t have to pay taxes in this world #Guys I got lost in a black berry bush

a huge favour: obviously nobody HAS to do this, or anything else, especially bc one rando on the internet asked, but I’ve been seeing a lot of outright ship war shenanigans(derogatory) going on.

I’m really not about that life and I really don’t believe in the whole taking an eye for an eye thing, even if the ‘other side’ has done atrocious things. I think the best thing we can do is follow ye olde internet motto of block and move on.

BUT since I know that some people feel really strongly and really want to participate in this stuff... Can you throw a ‘discourse’ or ‘ship wars’ tag up on the posts or something? I’m old and tired and I don’t wanna unfollow people but I do wanna just enjoy my blorbos in peace.

also please do NOT come into my asks or DMs to request I participate in a ship war. that is the opposite of rad.

#harringrove #Billy Hargrove #stranger things billy #a humble request in the tag bc I can't be the only one who feels this way. #also NOT tagging the 'other side' ship here cause listen-- we do not need to be doing crossfire #we literally do not need it! #I know it's hard bc there are assholes going around and doing asshole things like harassing #but I am firmly of the belief that- in FANDOM especially- our best course is to talk about why we LOVE our thing #not why people who love that thing are bad/why their thing is bad #like if for no other reason than because a newcomer might look and go 'wow both groups here are acting like idiots!' and nope away #OR the theoretical newcomer could go 'wow one group is being a sack of dicks for weird reasons i should avoid that' #and 'wow this thing sounds really nice I wanna learn more about it bc people are talking about it in a cool way' #but also mostly just bc fandom olds like me are so fucking tired of this pls I'm begging you #I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE THE EARLY DAYS FOLKS IT DOESN'T CHANGE IT WILL NOT CHANGE YOU CANNOT 'WIN'

"oh, yeah," we think, "we could probably cross this over into Li nked Uni verse if we actually draw out the canon for long enough, smacking different versions of the same character into each other is always fun especially when it has the potential for massive cultural differences and shit like running into things where the thing that has been forgotten has significance beyond the things that are remembered. Hey, we should probably check the comic in order to comply with the six-month rule, we don't think we ever finished-"

We return from the reference images. We have remembered why we didn't finish looking into the base comic.

#we speak #negative chatter #moving one level of fandomization away from og LU to merely use them as inspiration for bootleg LU with more base game inspiration #we forgot why we had the author blocked. we remember now #we probably wont elaborate further on this because we keep a firm policy of not publically shit talking folk at random #we just kinda got Unexpectedly Sandblasted by them being weird abt furries&otherkin in a random twi light reference post #we are censoring this so it does not go into their tag btw! no one likes random shit talk and this is just us being vaguely pissy #the wording is vague enough that they feel like theyre like. they dont mean to imply they DISLIKE this group #they just find them strange and offputting and they strongly dislike that they project anything onto A Character #as we do not control their life and theres nothing we can do to force them to Not be uncomfortable or act Strange towards a group #all we can really do is like. scrunge up at an attitude we find it VERY difficult to mesh with and go our separate ways #the multitude of takes on these characters and the way that their fandom is so creative about them and produces so many different Ideas #is very fun! and we heavily enjoy reading it sometimes! however we cannot enjoy the base comic #because though we know that the author likely didnt intend it to come off like that and we know accusations of hate would be FAR too strong #we cannot shake the feeling that we are the sort of thing that they would look upon as a deeply offputting aberration #and they merely avoid voicing that out of a mix of manners and a wish to not get into discourse while hundreds of people are watching #so it is best to keep our distance where we don't have to be uncomfortable at the subtle bias that will pervade through all art #and they dont have to get grated against in ways that may negatively impact things from us having little shame in our existence #which is to say theres like a solid chance that the bias is not malicious and is in fact just like. lingering cultural bias type shit #however we arent gonna deal with that and us being a huge obnoxious weirdo might be liable to push them against us via abrasion #being exposed to smth more often can very easily actively push you against that thing by virtue of dislike of the people who like it #and though our individual action may not mean much in the scheme of things it will do less harm to both of us if we back the hell off #give that shit some time to soak without being prodded at too hard and hopefully someone else will be able to open the conversation better #because with bias especially you CANNOT break it down with one or two discussions #and you very much have to have the person with the bias willing to step back and examine that pattern of bias and unravel it #because if you go up at people like “this is WRONG and heres why” theyre far more likely to get defensive and feel attacked #and then double down because they feel attacked and don't want to give in to people who have been Nothing But Rude To Them #its a pattern of thought that can be a real bitch to deal with and we really arent capable of the subtle approach it requires to break thro #anyways. where were we. oh yeah we forgot why we blocked someone and now we're making a tumblr post about it

Having to listen to my coworkers go on about h*rry p*tter and not being able to say anything about it really just cements my need for Real Friends…

#like. people who ACTUALLY respect me and care about me as a person would be GREAT!!!!!! #and it’s like. i DO have friends - but not local friends i can actually hang out with #my trust levels are just low low LOW #and every interaction i have with my coworkers only lowers it further #the folks at one of our neighboring parks - by contrast - have EXCELLENT vibes #i’ve really enjoyed chatting with them at our little training conferences #i’m thinking of maybe passing my number onto them at least #our parks aren’t necessarily on the best terms for complicated reasons - but hopefully we can still do SOME stuff together #bc the people i currently work with are like. tolerable #but i don’t feel respected #(and no it’s NOT just bc of the hp stuff… that was just today in particular)

Magfest was fun! Walked around as Cammy, made a lot of “merch,” talked to a bunch of cool dudes, traded wares, met new friends and finally met old ones, got a jello shot from a Raccacoonie cosplayer, ate so much awful food, learned of new games, and got inspired.

I made so many buttons of cammypus and other funny creatures, folded 50+ origami boxes for the perler bead crafters, and drew on any paper I can find. It was nice and now I have no money.

#magfest #i may not have partied played video games all day or whatever but fun is diff for everyone #my fun is just seeing everyone having a good time. All the colors and being surrounded by folks who enjoy the same things i do #also i got to meet an online friend of over a decade. We played games and watched anime and did what friends would do #true friendship. But now. I gotta uhh fix the things i eat because we ate nothing but carbs #i have gained five pounds. I am squishie. But iv been inspired to try and fail because hey not everyone wins on their first try #we got a free hamster plushie for a game dev company whose game HAMSTERDAMflopped #im sure making so many pkushies hey anticipated a hit. But we cant have it all #and it inspired me to just believe we’ll have a hit and do our best. And if it flops. We can try again with something else or improving #on what we had. Thank you funny hamster plush named pim. Support their new game WILDMENDER #failure isnt the end of the world. And sometimes we’ll lose time money or effort on something that wont succeed #but thats jsut a step towards actual success #so heres hoping we get the balls to table at a convention and sell silly little trinkets we made #akso i want a button maker now #shoutout to zack viet and matt. I appreicate yall talking to me and your smallest support. Anything is everything. #watched everything everywhefe all at once. All that combined is tingling my brain towards thoughts

DROYI COIRE    is a continent made up of many nations,   places and people.   Among the diverse population,   a few general terms can be used to describe its inhabitants:

⁽ ᶦᵐᵍ ² ⁾ The Innox:    stemming from the latin term innocuus (harmless),   is the official term given to any human without magical abilities.   this is the current ruling population of droyi coire.   the innox had won the war years ago and had taken over the land since.   the war between the two populations began after much strife and a rogue noxir attack on the innox that triggered the final straw.    fear griped the innox population and war broke out between one another.    the fear of the noxir still lingers among the innox,   and drives the innox government’s mission to protect their people by either imprisonment or reversing the noxir’s ability to wield magic.   while the latter was a more archaic method used two centuries ago following the war,   the more common method of protecting their lands is imprisoning the noxir.   if the crime they have committed is grave enough,   a death sentence is considered.    most of the innox grow up with prejudice against the noxir and do think they are to be feared and will bring forth harm.    pirates are a subcategory of innox that do not have any magical abilities but align themselves with noxir and live in their territory.   they are just as a criminalized as the noxir are.

⁽ ᶦᵐᵍ ¹ ⁾ the curators:   are a military group primarily dedicated to working against noxir and paraitures.   curators are stationed all throughout the mainland, but mostly operate out of Strehburg, given its proximity to the Quelled, and Doneros, as it's the most highly populated, “melting pot” of residents.    due to the added narrative in longstanding goals of protection and peace with noxir, curators believe they are protecting the mainland, but the organization is corrupted at its core and tends to carry out highly sadistic acts against their perceived transgressors in the name of law and order.    there are many, many divisions of Curators, including the traditional field military, research division, science division, and more - but the field military is the most commonly referred to.

⁽ ᶦᵐᵍ ³ ⁾ The Noxir:   stemming from the latin term noxius (harmful, poisonous),   is the official term given to any magic wielding individual.    this population is made up of anyone who appears to be human but with underlying supernatural abilities.   this can range from elemental abilities,   psychic abilities,   general witchcraft and more.    before the war had split the population into magic wielding humans and non magical humans,   there had been no terms to describe either one.   after the war,   many noxir were brain washed to forget their abilities or chose to hide their abilities for extended periods of time.   this led to their future generations growing up unable to unlock their ability to use any magic.   thus essentially making them an innox.   anyone openly using their abilities is imprisoned,   so the noxir who are still able to recall their magic and living in the mainlands among the innox population are referred to as The Concealed.    most of the noxir that don’t live in hiding live in The Barren Land on the other side of the dangerous Quelled Forest.    a forest that is difficult for both innox and noxir to cross and thus makes for a good physical barrier between the two populations.

⁽ ᶦᵐᵍ ⁴ ⁾ the mage renegades:    the mage renegades ( or just the renegades/rebels ) are the newest rebel group.    tired of living under the oppressive innox rule,   they are a growing group of noxir that strive to overthrow the current innox powers.   their homebase is in Shago of the Barren Lands, but they have members posted throughout Droyi Coire, especially the Mainland to infiltrate its governments, operations, and general life, as well as to collect intel.

Paraitures:    umbrella term for all supernatural / mythological / supernatural / fantasy races, regardless of origin, can include noxir. ( e.g. dragons, ogres, mermaids, satyrs, vampires, elves, fae, etc. ).    some human appearing noxir prefer to call themselves or identify as a paraiture,   while others stick to the term noxir.

#( 𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 ) 𝓐 . droyi coire . #some more droyi coire content for y'all !! #as always open AND ENCOURAGE you all make verses ( threateningly ) #this is all in our lore doc but this is a kind of tl;dr (ish) #simply think it really do be best of all worlds if u ask my biased opinion (: #we got the regular smegular folks some uppity rich some living their lives yk chilling hating on noxir yk the regular #and then you have our magicky folks either trying to blend in or saying fuck it and living their lives in the barren lands #and then you got the rest too best of all worlds im telling you #aklla is a mage renegade and she has noxir ancestry meaning her mom was a suepr powerful sorceress #but aklla can't actually spell cast so she's in the grey area bc she can make potions but anyone with a recipe can make potions #shes just good at what she does

at some point the asian diaspora of the west is gonna have to sit down have a deep think abt the term asian

#whites dont interact #like lets be honest #like asia and europe r connected so saying asian like its an identity based rooted in ebing from a seperate continent doesn't make sense #so then we have to acknowledge that the seperation of asia from europe is rooted in racism #ergo asian is a fundamentally racialized identity #but its also true that the various ppls from beyond the urals and caucasus look very different and r racialized differently #so asian as a unfied raical category doesn't make sense #imo i think asian works best an identity more rooted in collective opposition to white supremacy and orientalism and western imperialism #like idk solidarity building or something #like as far a yt folks r concerned we're all strange and dirty foreigners who'll infect the west with our strange cultures and values #tldr: if ur asian and trying to say __ type of asian isn't asian what are u even trying to do

one of our npcs (my character’s best friend) and one of our pcs died in tonight’s game. we kinda were expecting the npc but it still hit me so hard. the pc death was completely unexpected and just so damn unlucky. my friend couldnt roll double digits and the guy who killed them both kept finding him when he tried to hide.
