Did I ever share this to tumblr???

I think of the most interesting parts of non-human gender to me is that I was in what has to be an incredibly rare scenario regarding it. I was socially pressured into feeling like I had to be animal-gendered to fit in, rather then any sort of opposite to that.

I was a good few months into making sapphic audio roleplays on YouTube at the time, along with incredibly lonely, so I decided I would try to make a Discord server. The first week ended up with eighteen year old me getting lovebombed into a toxic relationship by a twenty-six year old, but after I pretended I had quickly recovered from that despite the fact that it still haunts me sometimes, things were smooth sailing. I was making lots of queer friends, I was getting closer to them, I finally felt like I had a place in the world.

And then, someone started explaining therians and such to folks, which is cool obviously. I don’t want this to come across as an anti-non-human genders post, I think it’s beautiful that the world is so unique in that way. But a lot of folks who I was becoming friends with started realizing things about themselves, and by a lot, I genuinely mean all of them. It felt like a wave crashed over the server as everyone in my new group started realizing they were wolves, foxes, sheep, etc.

A few months into my new friendgroup and I was already the odd one out. It was terrifying, honestly. I was going to lose everybody again. So, I started thinking about deer. I love deer, they’re my favorite animal, and I could probably work with that. I began doing a lot of mental convincing. A lot of telling myself that it wasn’t just my desire for attention making me happy when I told people, it had to be gender euphoria. I had to be a deer.

For months, it kept going like that. That’s not to mention the stretch where I convinced myself I was plural, but I won’t touch on that since it was even more traumatizing. Everybody called me a deer, everyone treated me like a deer, and even through the masks of telling myself it felt good, there was an edge to it. I knew it was wrong but I couldn’t stop. It took over a year before I finally had to put a stop to it, and that started a series of events that ultimately led to me losing the majority of the friendgroup that I had. Thankfully, those I care for most stayed.

It feels so strange looking back. How much time I lost due to my desperation to fit in, how many days I forced myself to be comfortable because I thought everything would fall apart otherwise. I’ll never get that time back.

Despite being deep into my transition already at the time, I log that year the same way I do most years before I even realized I was a woman. It makes me realize just how little time I’ve spent being the actual, true me. Hopefully I’ll be able to find out.

I decided to finally write my thoughts on Leon Bronev, though I’m not main tagging it cause nerves- Also it’s been a while since I’ve played through Azran Legacy so some things may be wrong but oh well.

I’ve always seen Leon as one of those villains that couldn’t have ended up as anything other than the villain.

(Continuing under the cut but it is a bit of a mess)

I feel as though a some people think his motivations start and stop with the kidnapping thing, his dead wife and his urge to uncover the power of the Azran, but there is something I don’t see brought up much.

And that is just how long Leon’s been trapped at Targent. He’s been stuck there for at least 30 years, unable to leave under threat of death. 30 years is a long time, it’s longer than lots of the main cast have been around. Not just Luke and Flora but even characters like Emmy haven’t been around longer than Leon’s been in Targent.

Depending on how old you hc Leon as, he could have spent half of his life in Targent, even over half of his adult life. Even as the leader, I doubt Leon would’ve had much power to actually change things or leave. Had he tried either, knowing how Targent operates, he’d probably just be killed and replaced.

Being stuck in a place like that for so long has got to mess with your head. We know Targent employs assassins so who knows what else they’re willing to do to ‘inspire loyalty’.

After losing Rachel, what else did Leon have other than the Azran? There was pretty much only two ways for this situation to end for him, either with death or with solving the Azran’s final puzzle.

I feel like it was almost a kind of deranged sunk cost fallacy that kept pushing him to do more and worse things. He’s already gone this far, what else does he have to lose?

And also about Desmond’s family, was it ever actually said that Leon was the one to kill them? I know Targent did, but that seems pretty ‘business as usual’ for them, so would their leader even be involved in the ‘recruitment’ process? Would Leon even know who Desmond really was? It doesn’t make it much better, but it is slightly better than him knowingly killing his daughter in law and granddaughter.

He’s still a villain at the end of the day, but I’d say he’s much more of a tragic one than people would think.

There’s no real ‘mic drop’ ending to this, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

(Though one more thing, it’s bullshit that Targent continued after Leon was arrested and their army was blown up. Swift taking over like “I’ll steer this organisation for the better to be like the Azran” what? What about the multiple crimes and murders and kidnappings this organisation has to its name? How many of Targent’s workforce are there by threat of death? Acting as if Leon was the only bad thing about Targent smh. Targent should’ve dissolved.)

I just found out one my aunt’s students is drawing stick figures of people getting shot. With blood spatter. The kid’s also a fan of Hitler and keeps drawing swastika’s on art projects. He’s 11.

My aunt has taken her concerns to her principal, but was told to use a “sticker system,” and to “give the kid candy when he behaves.” WTF

I’m worried.

Hey guys!! I just joined the server today and it seems like they needed some help looking for people (i think I’m the only one who’s recently applied so far) so I thought I should post it here! Essentially it’s a passion project to make a big ol Wings of Fire animation/movie based on the Darkstalker legends book. (The doodle above is me drawing the Darkstalker design I was shown!)

It looks REALLY cool so I’d love to help it get seen, which is why I asked for them to write an advertisement for me to copy and paste here! Thanks for reading!

I got bored and made a future Moomin valley AU and gave them all little happy families

So my Moomin valley fixation came back after like 5 whole years, and originally these were just meant to be one off little ship kid concepts but I grew attached to them and the idea of it and eventually it kinda evolved into a next generation AU in the span of like 3 days… Hope I’m not too late to the party chat…

I’ve been thinking up a LOT about this AU, but I’ll just give a basic run down rlly fast:

Lumi and Linna are best friends and basically take over the roles of snufkin and moomin, who are now lumis parents, the AU is very slice of life and follows a lot of the main lessons from the original moomin shows (Especially a veeeerrryyy familiar dilemma about a friend feeling sad over one choosing to leave for the winter)

Lumi is similar to Snufkin where she has a big urge to get away from social situations and be on her own, and can really only spend prolonged amount of time with her parents (or Linna in certain situations). Despite looking almost exactly like snufkin, she acts a lot like Joxter and it’s no suprise the two are actually very close especially considering their equal love for sleeping and hating authority. Despite her love for sleeping and her indifference to the idea of hibernation, ever since Lumi was able to choose she’s always chose to go south with Snufkin. Even if this makes Linna sad.

Linna is much more social than Lumi, and doesn’t mind speaking her mind and having fun with others. She takes after Snorkmaiden with her love for Romance, and often fantasizes about her “Prince Charming.” Linna, unlike Lumi, has hibernated for all her life, even after she was given the option to hibernate or not, she often wishes that Lumi would stay for the winter, but Lumi is insistent on traveling, but the two are always happy to meet again during the spring and go on their normal adventures. She usually acts as the “pact leader” and is often the one leading the games and day plans, but Lumi helps take charge when they are going on adventures as she is best at it.

There’s a couple side characters that are turned into more important roles, like for example in this AU the joxter is actually a reoccurring character !! (Let’s just pretend that Joxter and Snufkin met & rekindle their relationship and so now Joxter gets to be a silly grandfather!!)

That’s pretty much the basic rundown, and yes I did choose to ship snorkmaiden and Ninny, it was last minute but I thought it’d be actually rlly cute unironically.

Anyways Here’s some extra doodles I made cause I wanted to attempt to replicate Tove’s doodling style to finish off this post, so enjoy these!! And thank you for reading!!
