#IM SO HAPPY I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN

[apathyfairy]

last year i found a wii at goodwill for 25 dollars and it came with everything except a wiimote but it was in such good condition i was like hell yeah ill take it how hard can it be to find a wiimote. the answer is it's nearly impossible to find them at thrift stores now so i've spent like 8 months looking for ones in thrift stores but there wasn't a single one and then online but i just couldn't bring myself to spend 30 dollars on one single wiimote so i waited so. patiently. and then 2 weeks ago i finally found one at goodwill for 9 dollars but it was absolutely disgusting and the battery cover was missing and the compartment was all corroded so i put it back and regretted it the whole week but then this last weekend i went to savers and there was an absolutely perfect wiimote just sitting there with no corrosion and a jacket and the wrist strap and motion plus and the nunchuck was there too and i got it all for 10 dollars so the moral of the story is that sometimes things seem right for you in the moment but you have to recognize that they aren't and leave them behind so the things that are meant for you will in fact find you when the time is right. peace and love <3

hey guys so I just started reading Flatland by Edwin A. Abbott and OMG AHSBNSBSBSNSNBSHZHSHDBFHGGHFHGRJ2KSHSBSNSK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE THINKING ABOUT THE RELATIVITY BETWEEN DIMENSIONS!!!!!!

[alchemiclee]

I think doing shipping through and aroace lens makes things complicated but also interesting. I think one reason I don't enjoy straight ships as much is because it's very rare for people write/talk about them with a queerplatonic dynamic. straight romance is so "normalized" in society, it's hard to get any other dynamic out of those ships from other people in conversation or writing. it's mostly always romantic. (especially when "guys and girls can't be *just* friends" is extremely common and has ruined mamy of my own friendships) but I enjoy a handful of a straight ship with that dynamic. it's just way more rare to see talked about than gay ones from my observation. anyway point is, more queerplatonic type ships and stuff please! those aren't explored enough!

thinking about my sophonts and gender again

while werewolves are matriarchal, the specific gendered distinction between men and women, for them, is that women are the "leader" gender and men are the "follower" gender. this is generally seen as women being the "political" gender, ie, that they are the ones most concerned with their lineage and standing within the internal hierarchy of the troop, interested in moving up within it and concerned with the lives of their children, as girls inherit the social standing of their mothers, while boys do not inherit any social standing at all, rather being married off to another troop as soon as possible and then moving through the independent hierarchy within the men there.

this perhaps has less to do with physical strain than people might think - werewolves have pretty low sexual dimorphism, beyond women being, on average, larger than men, but also because both genders are expected to perform physical labor and expected to be willing to fight at a moment's notice and call when needed. this is even somewhat biased towards men being expected to act as soldiers to defend the troop more often, but again, this is where the "follower" and "leader" distinction comes in. there might be more men, but they'll be seen more like soldiers and treated like thus, while women might be seen as much better suited for commanding and leadership positions.

if anything, then, the expectation for the male gender within werewolf society is more along the lines of being carefree, free-spirited, emotional, hedonistic, submissive, less-intelligent or less concerned with matters of intelligence, less-civilized, and in need of a hand to direct and control them. i can't help but compare how the male gender is viewed to how the greeks viewed satyrs and pan, being associated with wild things, but also without very much control of themselves or what they've inherited.

which does mean that, in conservative mixed human and werewolf communities, there's been a large pressure from both to avoid mixing up human genders and werewolf genders. both of them would have the idea that "this other person has put the softer, weaker gender in control in a position they are poorly suited for, and are wasting the talents of the dominant, stronger gender" related towards each other, and there'd likely be different terms and pronouns to distinguish between if the person you're talking about is a werewolf woman or human woman, and vice versa. communities with a greater majority between one or the other might just end up absorbing the gender norms of the majority group, but some with a more even split would take a lot greater pain to not mix them up.

which is then fun, because it does introduce the thought of cross-species genders within communities like this. it does delight me to have xenogenders in a community that has these genders already exist as a part of it already, as four different gender norms within the same community that matter almost more than which species they are specifically associated with in the first place.

but it also then delights me because it makes me think of this later becoming a four-gender system in the first place, more like white-throated sparrows where you have males and females, but within that you also have dominant-females and dominant-males and submissive-females and submissive-males, where the couples with the greatest "success" are specifically along the dominant/submissive axises. you could easily get it to where the greatest focus of these four genders are the dominance leaning, initially started to explain the difference between werewolf couples and human couples, but leaking out to differ between mixed werewolf/human couples too.

i like it! i like humans, just humans as they always were, humans and another species of primates, the closest other sophont to us, being the ones with the "odd" four-gender system, having more alien concepts than even catfolk, who have no long-term relationships in the slightest and little to no sexual dimorphism at all.
