State of Being Caring

I am a Caring person.

I Care so deeply for people. Especially the ones I love, trust, and know well. But for all humanity really.

If I can see the humanity in a person, then I will care about you.

I will always check up on you. I’ll reach out when I think of you or whenevers a good time. If you’re sick, I’ll be by your side. I’ll take care of whatever you might need.

I listen to your problems, venting, etc. I want to hear how you are. I want to be a safe space for you. I want you to feel cared about. Feel seen. Feel heard.

I Care about others, I’ve just always been this way… I have a strong pull to care for people. To help. But I also put in the extra investment and time because I know what it’s like to not have someone who’s caring. I know what it’s like to lack care. And I would never want others to experience that pain.

I am a Caring person.

PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here

Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn

#science fiction #fantasy #xenogenesis #earthseed #the broken earth #frankly I think many of the critiques of my own work are valid #but when I see the same criticisms applied to authors who fundamentally changed the genre #I’m like #hold up

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out!#most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!!#habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up

Being a “Fun Fact !” kind of autistic is all fun and games until you get halfway through sharing an interesting tidbit and realize that it probably wasn’t appropriate to share in polite company and now you have to deal with the consequences :(

#autism #neurodivergent #adhd #fun facts #GOD I’m such an idiot #anyways now a 10 year old is out there looking up swear words online and it’s all my fault :(#I got so excited by the fact that I knew a fun fact #that I didn’t stop to think that maybe not everyone knows that fun fact for a reason :(#it’s like explaining how to successfully bury a body at a book club #or explaining the dangers of Scientology to your sister’s boyfriend the first time you meet him #or debating gay sex positions with your best friend in front of your mom #no matter how much I wish to be a beacon of knowledge in this world #sometimes there are things others just don’t want to know #and consciously that’s valid but the autism ? I does not care

it really does bother me how no one can seem to answer the question “what even is romantic attraction, really.” like some people are like “it’s who you wanna kiss and cuddle <3” and I’m like ok well kisses and cuddles can be either sexual or platonic depending on context. “It’s who you feel passion/desire/arousal for” well that just sounds like sexual attraction which you can have without even knowing somebody so I fail to see how that’s romantic. “It’s who you want to go on dates with” I go on dates with friends all the time plus “date” is a social construct anyway there’s really no innate difference between a date and hanging out. “it’s who you have deep feelings for” great news for you that can be literally any type of relationship. my friend told me she defined it as “who you wanna give roses to” and I’m like do u hear urself??? like the more I talk to people the more I’m convinced romance and romantic attraction is an elaborate socially fabricated illusion that has no real defining characteristics. and like there’s nothing Wrong with it being a constuct but why people are so attached to defending the supremacy of it is something I cannot for the life of me figure out

#like reading this u might be like ‘sounds like ur just aromantic sis’ but I’m like. listen.#ur missing my point. which is that I literally think romance Does Not Exist #at least not in this bioessentialist way people like to pretend it does #the desire for companionship and the desire for sex are biological drives. everything else is a social construct #which doesn’t mean its bad! or not valid! or anything like that!#but I’m just genuinely do not understand Why we are so bent on treating it like gospel

free will is drawing ur two favorite characters together and making them gay

#akekita content in this economy? it's more likely than you think #this is like for the three ppl that ship them (me tumblr user haliai and atlus)#also which boyliker at atlus designed yusuke's phantom outfit like WHY is he dressed like a gay hooker 💀💀💀💀#the skintight spandex bodysuit designed to show off the slutty waist?? the exposed cleavage?? the cunty little fox tail?? bro 😭#my hand was shaking while i was drawing the second img it felt so IMMODEST 😭😭😭😭😭#i wish atlus confirmed which highschool akechi went to bc i love the hc that he attends kosei #his tie matches hifumi's ribbon so i think they're trying to tell us smt (im delusional)#ANYWAY akechi and yusuke would match each other's freak lowkey like they're both hardcore yappers that weird everyone else tf out #akechi would find solidarity in the fact that yusuke doesn't shut up abt whatever he's interested in #also also the fact that akechi is a mirror version of him bc they're victims of the same situation #both being exploited and utilized as tools after their mothers death #by the man they called father in exchange for validation or a false sense of place #but ultimately yusuke was saved by phantom thieves while akechi refused any pity and slowly succumbed to fate of his own making #really makes you look at atlus and think whats going on in their buttery smooth brains for not including other character interactions #aside from the social links with joker. the wasted dynamic potential between some of the characters is insane 😭#persona 5 #p5 #yusuke kitagawa #kitagawa yusuke #goro akechi #akechi goro #akekita #bro me when i stay up until three am drawing persona instead of finishing my lab (i’m beyond cooked 💀💀)#i think i need to switch college majors i can’t keep doing this #lotus draws

when people think delilah just completely takes over and laudna has no control. when people think jester is just an uwu child who has been manipulated by every man she’s met. when people think vex is an empty husk of daddy issues without her brother by her side. when people think fjord is an arrogant asshole who doesn’t pay attention to the party around him. when people think scanlan saying that vox machina doesn’t care about him is an accurate assessment.

#i’m tired and i was bitching w a friend about this earlier but good grief.#cr fandom HATES when a character knowingly denies or portrays themself in a way that is false #but that fulfils the expected role the party/the fandom has dictated for them #whether the character is intentionally lying (vex and fjord esque) or has bad faithed themselves into believing what they’re saying #(laudna and scanlan) cr very frequently plays with like . the character is saying this and it’s not trueeeee #you’d think the fandom that’s oh so willing to History Is Written By The Victors their way into validating wiping out all of the gods #because (checks notes) they do not fulfil the whims of every person who asks #might have a little more grace when it comes to doubting the characters words as always truthful or always well informed #critical role

He just wants to be missed

#gravity falls #bill cipher #ford pines #stanford pines #billford #shitpost #the amount of times Bill asks if people will miss him is something he needs to bring up in therapy #did your parents not love you enough Bill?#your issues are showing #ignore the mistakes #I’m too tired to fix them #and honestly not emotionally stable enough #feeling like a piece of shit rn and I haven’t even done anything wrong #…um but #did you guys miss me? 🥺🥺🥺#one day I’m gonna stop posting entirely and wait patiently for the ‘omg are you okay’ messages that will never come in #and then give up and post again #I never said I was any better than him here #I too constantly crave validation from others and really want to be missed

No, there is no universal trans experience. Yes, there will always be trans dudes who have it easier than you, or were lucky enough to get their gender affirming care younger or cheaper or easier than you. They're still trans. The second we stop fighting with each other about which of us are valid is the second we can start fighting the real enemy; those motherfuckers teaching crabs how to read.
