Go figure I'm getting annoyed with linguistic unpopular opinions when Grey is prevalent in me. Hilarious stomping around in the astral being particular about coding shit and having to pause mentally to complain about things
#Unpopular linguistic opinions: Saying smudge is the official native term as a non-native borders on racist because it is#explicitly an English word and haven't we done enough ''you speak English. English is your official language. English words are your words.#Your actual languages and words don't matter. Your terms and labels for things need to be forgotten so you can speak English''#Like... It's like saying ''you can't call something a tribe because that's the official native (what native??? What native language???) wor#you should use something like People or Group instead'' like I understand ''smudge ceremony'' is the official English term...#but like. smudge is English. It's not a native word. It was applied to natives' rites and it's what they call it. Calling waving incense#around smudging is not appropriating a native word - you could argue. because I fail to find sources on it#being used in Christian settings. that seeing natives call smoke cleansing smudging and then trying to cleanse with smoke and calling it#smudging is appropriating but not just natives (again. people don't even say what tribes and what language Smudge is from)#smoke cleanse and smudge is English. We can loathe appropriation without telling people that natives' official terms for things#are English words and that English is their official language#Second unpopular opinion is plurality us obviously a thing but I actually agree that plurals shouldn't use medical terms#We all know ''I'm so OCD'' and calling interests special interests and hyperfixations is not appropriate and saying that it's not#appropriate is not saying you aren't heavily affected by lack of neatness and your interest doesn't make you ecstatic and consume#a lot of time and space in your brain and thoughts. but. it's not OCD and not a special interest or a hyperfixation if you're not on the AS#But that's less related to spiritual things so let's leave off that. I mean it's entirely related I split myself into multiple people#constantly. It's how I get shit done. I have multiple selves. I watched the original owner of the body die#But just like someone with a wild belief isn't experiencing delusions and thinking a hair is a spider isn't hallucinating...#these aren't alters and I'm not a system because my dissociation is not DID or DDNOS or whatever it's called#Oh to be clear w the smudging thing. Smudging /is/ used as a native term. Smudging ceremony is a native thing. Smudging#with sage and all other features of it is a native thing. It's appropriation to yoink it into your own practice. But saying that Smudging#is their (who????) official term and that if you use the word for smoke workings you're appropriating because Smudge Is#A Native Word that's.... I don't understand. Autism brain does not compute. Antiracist brain says weewooweewoo#racism alarm why are you as a non native saying an English word is the official Native word#ramblings //#Anyway I needed to get that out Grey's gonna snap lmfao if I don't let some steam out of the engine. I can be reconvinced#with these opinions. These aren't things I see others saying and then unfollow over. Its just my part of the ongoing debates about them#but man. Anyway. If I don't chew on silly human drama I'm going to literally chew the walls of reality down. Silly Human Drama#being his label because that's what it is in comparison to the crushing weight of the planets-before-planets knocking on the#walls of entire realities can't you TELL I'm ASLEEP and yet the hunt was always going on at this time... And I am...

I don't think I ever really introduced myself here so here goes!
First of all, hi! My name is Kira, but you may call me Kiki if you'd like. On AO3, I'm known as "chiquita_chequito", I'm often there just lingering and reading or writing, lol. I'm 22 years old, German with Polish roots and live in a small German town where nothing ever really happens, lol. I have many interests, like certain anime and F1 (especially that as of late) and consider myself a decent writer at least. You're free to quote and/or correct me on that though, lol.
A few random facts about me:
✨️ I'm neurodivergent! I have OCD, ADD and Autism paired with hyperesthesia and ARFID (I know, I know... I should pick a struggle, but alas).
✨️ I also happen to be queer - bisexual as well as somewhere on the aro-ace gradient plus bigender, to be exact. My pronouns are they/she, meaning I prefer "they/them" but am also okay with "she/her". Anything but "he/him" and "it/its".
✨️ My hyperfixation has been cars (as in the vehicles, not the movie) ever since I was a baby. After my first two words, "Mama" and "No", my third word was "Car" in German - the fourth was "Skodda", as per my mom's telling. Surprise surprise, I still love Škodas. 😂
✨️ I play in a sort of marching band that we call Schalmeienzug, there's no direct translation though. It's really fun! Been there for five years now and still love it. 🫶🏻
✨️ Don't ask me how or why but for whatever reason, I can get any song I want stuck in someone else's brain. It works every damn time with just about anyone and yes, I am quite shameless about it. If I have to suffer through having Spongebob music stuck in my brain, then so do you. I have spoken.
✨️ My sense of humor is... skewed at best, fucking dark at worst. That's it. I refuse to elaborate.
✨️ In my free time, I also study Finnish. Thanks, Käärijä, lmao.
✨️ And yes, I love Eurovision. As a queer European girlie, that's a must, lol.
✨️ Regarding F1, my favorite drivers of the current grid are Oscar Piastri, Daniel Ricciardo (noooo, I don't have a thing for Aussies, wdym [also RIP, I am not okay, even if he's not a driver anymore, I will always love him]), Nico Hülkenberg and Sergio "Checo" Pérez (Christian Horner, when I catch you). Of the old grid I still somewhat remember (I've been watching F1 since childhood days), my favorites used to be Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen and the Nicobergs - aka Nico Rosberg and Nico Hülkenberg. My heart has a special place reserved for Michael Schumacher, though, and it's shaped specifically like his stature. ❤️
✨️ I swear a lot. Like, a lot. I'm not kidding. So... proceed with caution if you're sensitive to that.
✨️ My free time is mainly spent playing video games - I don't have many friends and those I do have don't always have time for me so this is what I revert back to if I don't have somewhere else to be like a performance, lol.
✨️ I drive a black Opel Corsa ecoflex from 2016 and it is my pride and joy. 🫶🏻 Already jokingly told my mom that, if she wants grandkids, she already has one. My car. 😭
✨️ Last but not least, my writing style is quite distinct in the way that I usually write melancholic, if not downright depressing stuff. I guess it's a reflection of my life thus far - again, I will not elaborate.
That should be it from my side for now. If anything else comes into my messy little pea-sized brain, I shall let you know through editing this post - or just completely rewriting it, lmao.
Which means, for now, have a nice one and don't let the bedbugs bite!
- 🍸

man, i like your blog and shit but if you're having ocd meltdowns whenever someone has a different interpretation of the characters, it makes engaging with you kinda impossible. it's a small fandom and is getting smaller each day, don't spend half of your time complaining about other people's fics and posts and then act surprised when the vibe sucks
is this solely in response to that one recent late-night rant i posted? bc i'm getting the sense that this may also be about posts on my main, and if it is, then tbqh i'm gonna say that i need somewhere to vent for venting's sake or else i'll go even more insane. so like, i'll concede that maybe i should just remove my main url from my blog bio or something. but other than that, i try genuinely hard to keep my fr meltdowns to myself and, when i make meta posts on here that are fueled by the motivation to reassure myself, to still cite my sources and whatnot and put real meat in the posts bc it's really important to me to not feel like i'm talking out of my ass. and also to make posts that other people will want to see. my recent more personal posts about it are bc lately i'm not having a good time re: ocd and i genuinely kind of cannot tell how insane i look to other people. like, i want to know so that i can figure out how to get back to semi-normal.
i'm also really never actually Surprised about the vibe sucking btw (and i'm not saying that that's how i would even describe my feelings. just like, if we're calling it that), i'm just frustrated. i do try very hard to avoid seeing things that make me upset and to balance that with trying to maintain passion (by keeping this blog active), and that leaves me with bare bones. i'm well aware that i'm the one with The Problem, and i promise i hate it more than anyone else possibly can. i really don't try to make it anyone else's problem. ntm the vast majority of my ocd shit is kept off of here and stays entirely in my brain, so like, the "meltdowns" you've seen are kinda nothing lol.
on a more intellectual vein, i do wanna say that like half of all succession meta posts i ever see (especially the very good ones) are in some way covert responses, with some amount of disagreement, to other people's takes. it's like how scholars are all constantly arguing with each other. i don't personally feel the need to cultivate a fandom space where no one ever has their feelings hurt and all interpretations are only ever publicly regarded as equally valid in order to avoid it, or anything. fandom is for fun but it's obviously also a minefield of people with hyperfixations/special interests/ocd. it sucks when that seemingly winds up dividing an already small fandom, but my thing is that i am not going to have a good time in fandom if i restrict myself from one of the most beloved human pasttimes that is complaining. man i really don't even drop names when i do, i just describe general takes that i disagree with and give my own, thoroughly backed-up stance. i even admitted in that post that "i'm fighting a mostly imaginary person." if someone feels like it's about them and that really bothers them, they can unfollow/block and then go complain about me if they need to. the world is kind of beautiful that way.
i hope this all doesn't come off as hostile by simple virtue of being a long response, i just wanna hit every possible point and don't wanna risk being misunderstood. it's kinda my thing. and like, obviously i don't want to needlessly alienate people who otherwise like my posts, which you said you do. but also your message feels kinda hostile so if i do sound hostile i hope it's in a way that makes us even. idk who you are, you could easily be someone i've had conversations with and who I'll talk to more in the future, having no idea that you sent me this, and i think that's beautiful too. it's a wonderful thing that you can anonymously say something harsh to me, whoever you are, and not do any damage to whatever relationship we may have. i'm pressing our foreheads together. i forgive you. anyway i'm gonna delete that personal ocd post because it's paranoid and kind of self-destructive and embarrassing in hindsight. but my general nature will not change except incrementally so let's hope for the best ig
