Welcome to Gen 10 💤

Oh my god. I'm already at gen 10.

Eàrlas, our dear Aurora, moved to HOB looking for peace, plants and chickens. What he doesn't know is his life will get a 180º twist in the near future *evil laughs*

✅ Live in Henford-On-Bagley*

*Eàrlas was meant to grow up in this world, but I was being a tryhard at the previous gen and ignored that on purpose. My bad!

dehradun days

you meet them for the first time,

knowing it's probably the last.

might as well make the most of this time,

since life comes at you fast.

you find the strangest of signals

in the no-network zones.

cross-tent communication with folks,

just rambling about the unknown.

there's the warmth of shared laughter,

that carries you through freezing nights,

and you look up at the flickering stars,

to finally see things in a different light.

and at 11,000 ft above sea level

you finally reach the peak,

just to realise the joy was in the journey,

and the friends you made that week.

you'll visit caves & splendid cafes,

and remember the city in mere parts,

but years later, you'll still tell everyone,

how dehradun captured your heart.

I feel like certain people on Tumblr have really been fighting for backwards progress when it comes to how we talk about mental illness and abuse. I see posts at least several times a week on my dash that seem to have the purpose of implying people with insert-mental-illness and/or insert-symptom are not abusive when they do insert-action-that-makes-people-uncomfortable, often times meaning to promote a more positive image of people with particularly stigmatized conditions, like personality disorders, mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, or neurodivergence. And I really really hate it because these posts almost always have the ultimate purpose of telling people not just "This thing is not inherently abusive," but often it comes across as "You were not abused."

I just find that to be really unhelpful and unintentionally hurtful, and for what? I believe that destigmatizing various mental conditions is a worthy cause, but at the same time this type of rhetoric seems to be so protective of people in whichever stigmatized group they're trying to advocate for, that it comes back around to a sort of respectability politics. Anybody can be an abuser. And someone's means and methods of abusing can very much be influenced by a condition they have. Why wouldn't it be? Their conditions will affect every aspect of their life and their interpersonal relationships. Especially if these issues are going untreated or being insufficiently managed. I don't understand why anyone would want to make it appear as if abusers are mostly neurotypical and mentally well people, or that if they aren't, then their conditions have nothing to do with it and the overlap is merely incidental. What? It makes it so hard for anyone who is a victim to come to terms and identify the dynamics of what they've gone through.

Addicts and mentally ill people don't have to be unproblematic in order to be humanized and accepted. And nobody profits from writing hard and fast rules about how abuse apparently works, drawing clear lines between which behaviors can, and cannot, ever be abuse.

isn’t teresa just the best? i’m rewatching the sharpe series after finding your blog again and i’m just so overwhelmed with love for her. she’s so kind and patient, i missed her bad af when i read the book version of sharpe’s rifles 🥺💕

[ she IS the best, anon, absolutely. Teresa's character is so unique and amazing--she's kind and patient, but she's also ruthless and cunning. Her story is absolutely heartbreaking, but she manages to find love and happiness in spite of everything, and that is such an incredibly powerful thing to see. She's everything to me and has been for a long, long time, as has @lacomandante, my very best friend in the whole world who writes Teresa!!! Go show her some love, too!!!

I haven't been on this blog often lately, but I'm hoping to be back soon and regularly! I'm very glad you found me again--it's messages like this that make keeping this proper bastard up and at 'em worthwhile!!! ]

okay i'm thinking about courtier-drifter again. i was reminiscing last night about the possibility (i won't say it's implied by canon but it's definitely a possibility) of the drifter as we see them just being a figment of kid-drifter's imagination, in the same way that duviri is. a kid who is completely fucking terrified and alone with nobody to help them is going to resort to escapism to cope with what's happening. if you've ever been a traumatized kid you know this. we see this with the drifter's creation of duviri.

but we know that not everyone in duviri was necessarily written into tales of duviri, the book. the warden seems to have been brought into existence by kullervo's memories of ballas. the drifter even puts themself into duviri. we see, in the drifter at present, this older, stronger version of themself, apparently unaging (remember how confused acrithis is by teshin aging? shouldn't she have seen that before with the drifter?), inexplicably skilled in combat (where exactly did the drifter learn to fight with all those weapons in teshin's cave, when they've apparently just been scurrying around with a gun since duviri came into existence?)

couldn't the drifter, as a kid, have made up someone who might've been able to save them, and their friends & family, from the zariman incident? someone who would show up mysteriously in the darkest hour to make things right when all hope is apparently lost -- as was the case in tnw? we know from tnw that the "canon" tenno is supposed to be heroic to the point of self-sacrificing. maybe that's still the case even in timelines where wally didn't show up and offer to save the other zariman kids. maybe kid-drifter wished that they could've been that hero they got to be in another time, the one who had the power to save their friends from the horrors of the zariman.

maybe that self-sacrificing nature they have is so strong it becomes its own entity. maybe the hero they wished they'd been, the hero they wished they'd had, comes to life in duviri. maybe the hero takes their designation to a terrifying extreme, refusing all help that's offered to them to the point of self-destruction, because they're The Hero and they don't NEED help. maybe finally accepting help from teshin is what helps them stop being just a figment of a long-lost child's imagination and start being a Person.

i'm thinking about my drifter not actually being the kid we saw on the zariman, but their mary stu semi-self-insert oc (do not steal), is what i'm saying
