#Inhuman feeling

[corvidkidlet]

Exploring gender ideas again… my gender just feels not connected to being human, like my ideal is being perceived as not quite human? In the way that demons or eldritch things are described as looking like humans but being just off enough to produce a subconscious idea that the person isn’t human. I mean it probably comes from my dissociative stuff making me feel not real and not human most of the time anyway, but I was wondering if anyone has a similar experience or like knows of any labels that might work with that? Idk lol

Its 5am, and honestly I wanted to make something I could read over and over, my friends been trying to help me a lot and I’ve been doing sketches to cope with somethings, I’ve never really made a vent post or anything and I don’t fully intend to. But, I felt like this one was ok to share, feeling void is an experience, and well, it’s not a fun one. Sorry for the sketches and bad hand writing

I haven't thought much about Jonathan Sims for long enough that I kinda feel like I've started thinking about him a little more divorced of the emotional attachment I might have had once. Because I just saw a post lamenting his slow descent into inhumanity and losing his identity, becoming the archivist rather than Jonathan Sims, losing his friends, his house, everything he loves.

But is that true? That put upon head archivist persona he had in the beginning, was that really him? The way I see it, real life has already leached him of any identity he might have had, he didn't really have friends, Tim and Sasha clearly weren't, as we saw in their season 5 recording. He chose to make them his subordinates over beib friends, pushed away Georgie, he became so desperate for approval that he agreed to take a job he clearly has no idea how to do, let his stress over it isolate him from everyone around him, had a desperate need to assert himself in the beginning of every recording as 'head archivist of the Magnus institute london'. Forget about even having a home, he often slept in his office for heaven's sake.

The way I see it, this story is about him finding himself, finding the perfect place for himself in this already doomed world that was already strangling him and everyone around him. He became the Archivist, no longer needing to connect himself to some godforsaken capitalistic institute to identify himself. found his role, he enjoyed its power, even admitted to it. He found love. He found purpose in trying to save the world. In the end he was surrounded with the friends he made along the way (as friendly as they could be under the circumstances). He was finally allowed to make real choices, have true responsibility over himself and not be some tired corporate worker, part of a tired pointless system. Sure his choices weren't that great, and getting there was through outside manipulation and his own ignorance and he had to suffer immensely and pay an awful price of what we like to call his "humanity" but he Became and found what we all look for - his calling.

"It's still me" he says in the last episode. Because he is. He lost nothing and gained everything. Even dying in his lover's arms.

Forget about being human. In the end Jon achieves apotheosis and truly becomes Jonathan Sims

do you ever think about how harry potter as a canon is about a secret cabal of a (((superpowered minoritized and ghettoized ethnic group))) (<- wizards) who control the minds and perceptions of the sheepled masses (<- muggles).

and also that same cabal is the one attempting to commit a holocaust. because it is the muggleborns who are the jews! and it's (((those guys))) who are... well!

do you ever think about it.

maybe i'm swinging a bat at a hornet's nest here but as an aroace person, i think it's kind of messed up to say that levi is canonically aroace now

yes, he said that he doesn't care about people and that concepts like empathy, compassion, and love are unfamiliar to him. but attraction is not the same as any of those words. i get that people may want to headcanon him as aroace (especially since we don't get a whole lot of representation in the first place), but to insist that it's canon feeds into stereotypes about people with low empathy and aroace people alike

I get to stressed out when ppl complain the gods in genshin dont “act/feel like gods” or feel “too human” like that’s the point…! That is the point of every single one of their characters and one of the themes of Genshin impact the video game !!!!!!!

No, because I've already talked about this to the Discord besties but I'm still vibrating over the fact that Percy didn't just sacrifice himself for Annabeth, he outsmarted her. He tricked her into letting him be the one to stay behind that's such an amazing detail

Hi everyone!

I found an article that I liked at first because it seemed very informative. But one excerpt really pissed me off:

More than 70 genes have been linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD), a developmental condition in which differences in the brain lead to a host of altered behaviors, including issues with language, social communication, hyperactivity, and repetitive movements. Scientists are attempting to tease out those specific associations gene by gene, neuron by neuron.

To me, this sounds like they’re trying to make a cure. Which is just inhumane in my opinion. They want to cure us? Why? There’s nothing wrong with us! We’re just different from other people/neurotypical people.

Anyway, that’s the end of my little rant.

Fun fact: scientists use mice in labs because their brain chemistry is similar to ours!

I’ll leave the article below in case anyone wants to read it:

i think the songs on the album will be utterly earnest and personal, but it is so interesting that she's juxtaposing the supposed authenticity of the "tortured poet" (the idea that to be artistic you must be dark, tortured, etc and your work must reflect that in a specific way, or you're not considered a real artist, maybe even a sellout, a shill) with "department," a concept that implies administration or detachment, a mere method of organization. as if the act of creating "tortured art" has been catalogued, maybe even commodified or turned routine. like, even the way she presents her art, her truth, as "evidence"... the way her songs about her life are organized and labeled as "artifacts," even though they are intimate and personal. there's just a few layers of irony here that i'm really excited for, and that addresses so much of discourse around her artistry, life, and mythology.

The Batkids compete with each other to do Batman imitations.

Steph makes him too dark and overbearing, and Jason simultaneously makes him emotionally constipated and gruffly mushy. Dick does a decent impression of Batman dealing with Hal, which sets off Tim enough that he can't stop laughing long enough to get through his. Duke's take is wildly off, bordering on a caricature, and Dick makes them all howl by doing a starry-eyed Robin accompaniment. Cass channels his exact angry dad body language, and is considered to be the best until they all get floored by Damian's perfect imitation of Bruce's voice.
