ok long ramble ahead abt trans!riz and goblin society surrounding the concept of gender :))

i was thinking abt the bad kids and transgenderism (none of them are cis to me) and specifically riz. to me he's transmasc and primarily uses he/him, but also collects a bunch of neopronouns (e/it/xe mainly, and many others) the bad kids and other close friends use

i think he transitioned pretty young, and got access to medical care young too. then i got thinking about how goblins view gender

basically, it isnt correct to say that goblin is a non gendered language, but its gramatical genders and pronouns are not based on identity/sex. it has 3 genders: mortal, celestial, and inanimate (referring to people/animals, angels/fae/etc, and objects/the dead) (i did not do much research on how grammatical gender works... apologies lol)

but in modern day solace, many goblins, such as riz, also speak common, which doesnt have grammatical genders but Does have gendered pronouns. so goblins in largely common-speaking communities have taken to using the pronouns associated with their gender, how it works in common (and many other language around spyre aswell)

by solesian standards, riz is afab. traditional goblin societies view gender identity as highly fluid; they dont do assigned gender at birth or anything, rather let the kids figure it out as the grow. it doesnt change anything about how theyre raised/viewed. but not so in modern day solace. sklonda and pok raised riz for the first few years using she/her to refer to him in common, but also made sure he knew that gender identity is oftentimes not the same as agab

(also - im perisex, so i dont really feel like i can speak on this lol, but i think goblin anatomy is different than that of the more ""human"" races like humans, elves, etc. i think riz would identify with the intersex label in relation to much of solace, but maybe not in relation to other goblins ? idk. once again im perisex lol)

riz was pretty young when he realized he was transmasc, maybe like 7. before his dad died at least. pok and sklonda immediately helped him transition socially, and they set aside money so he could go on hormone blockers + hrt when he needs it. after pok died, sklonda still wouldnt touch that money bc she new it needed to go to riz's medical care. riz is so grateful for this, but also very guilty that they didnt use it on other things

most people assume he's a cis guy, he doesnt often bring up that hes trans. not that he's ashamed abt it or anything, he just doesnt find the need to talk about it. an exception is the other bad kids. he really surprised them when he first mentioned he was trans lol

ok idk if Any of this made sense but ! yay yippee

why am i crying over space children. jake going against his father's orders just to teach nog how to read im bawling my eyes out. sisko being so proud of him at the end. oh my god.

#TEHRUSKGNAM #I CANT RNNN #also i think its very interesting that they contrast the preaching of community and acceptance in the space station w sisko's reluctance to #let jake hang out with nog #i understand in part why but i still think thats a really cool writing choice #it also shows that children dont have prejudice built into them and that its taught instead #jakes first instinct was to try and make friends with nog #i love it here #THEYRE SOO CUTTEEEEEEE #not equipped for rambling #star trek ds9 #ds9 #deep space nine #also i adore how a lot of the show centers around siskos fatherhood to help portray those family and connection themes #its great #star trek #AND SISKO BEING SO PROUD #BECAUSE LIKE #OH YM VSOGKSLG #the ultimate show of acceptance and community #overcoming small internal biases etc etc #oh ymgofkgms #ic skgbmsg

Some fantasy traveler inventory details (like what they would carry in their bags), based on two of the recent costumes I did.. love finding random little scraps and items and putting them together lol

#it's obvious who's is who's since they match their outfits HOWEVER.. consider if they were switched lol #evil villain looking man carrying around pressed flowers in a cutesy lacy pouch #fantasy costume #what's in my bag #actualyl that would have been funny to make a video. I should make a video #I'm sure someone else has already done this #but like.. lifestyle vlogger type content however I'm dressed in fully costume as some weird elf or something #pulling things out of my bag and showing them to the camera and talking about how they're useful for whatever #but it's all fantasy scenarios and talking like it's very common #'and of course. i know it's a bit cliche #EVERY traveler has one of these. but you know. theyre just useful! thats why everyone has one!' *pulls out a completely unrecognizable item #thats like some weird fantasy world prop and doesn't even explain it because In-world it's normal and wouldnt need to be talked about*#'room tour' video and it's just like 'yeah I sleep on this mat under a bunch of trees uh.. over here by these rocks. at least right now. I #kind of wander around a bit. so'#Like a clothing haul but it's a potions shop haul or something and they ramble about some obscure drama in the potions community and how the #y hard to barter and steal and entire flock of sheep or something just to get one of them. etc. etc.#I could do ones for different characters too like. multiple people from different walks of life showing what they carry around with them.#just like this but more interview sort of vlog format instead of photos #This is where not having much money and not having my own house with land becomes an issue though #I think it would take you out of the illusion if the background was always the same. I can make small sets because there's one blank wall in #a room that it's easy to move all the stuff away from in front of and clear a spot and like hang up fabrics or whatever but still.. hmms #So one of those 'fun idea but dubious about handling the execution' things. also One Of Those Things where without looking it up you're 100%#sure it's already been done and you don't want to look weird since it's vaguely niche. Like if 100 people have done something it's fine but #if only like 3 other people have then you look weird maybe ghhjbj.. or only one other person gods forbid. looks even weirder potentially #Or do people not care about ''copying'' anymore?? idk. I'm not updated with the internet's changing culture. I just have a fear of accidenta #lly doing something like that and then people getting mad even though it's really just that I competely had no idea it had been done because #again.. I live under a rock and am unaware of everything lol. ANYWAY. also would require my face being on video which I don't like. Though I #would be in costume so that helps. I think to be fully comfortable I'd need light modifications to make my face look different. which isn't #hard but is more effort when it has to be translatable in multiple angles. ANYWAY. ghjbhj... Now I think it would be funny actually. maybe #one day. I haven't made any videos (aside from on the gameplay/sims channel) in a long long time actually. hmm'st

love thinking kipperlilly spends her afterlife looking for lucy in a familiar forest

#not art #fhjy #fhjy spoilers #like. does she have a mean of knowing lucy and yolanda got sent to cassandra's domain to hang out for a bit #kipperlilly's isolation means so much to me. she is punished for everything she's done she just doesn't pick up on it #until the moment she dies! one more funky thing that mirrors riz in which he's actively tried to cultivate a community and denied it #until the bad kids. while kipperlilly does not want or care about a community she just wants someone who validates her #but she does Need a community so she latches onto the person she lets closer to her to fulfill her emotional needs #she took the ritual willingly so this might genuinely be her first death. probably terrifying #probably not even enough bandwidth to feel mortified. maybe immediately seeking something comforting out of instinct alone #lmao honestly thinking too much abt fantasy high afterlifes gives me a headache And a visceral fear #Im not religious but I grew up in a culture with a dominantly buddhist/taoist cosmology its Scary that u just go to A Place after u die!!#and then ur still urself!!! thats scary to me what do u mean u stay like that forever. thats fucked #but yeah I think this influences how I see kipperlilly turn out a little bit. in a sense I think of her as being a ghost now #yknow. trying to solve something from life so she can move on and. stop living this life etc #man the reveal that lucy took being killed pretty seriously and is like yeah the others are decent and even sweet #and probably was just trying to hold her party together and do what she thinks is moral by hearing kipperlilly out #lol lmao etc. gods I gotta wonder how kipperlilly's mindset handled jawbones' help #it really is damn tragic tho. I stand by what I said folks like this will complain and be nasty to be around #but they dont have enough desire to inconvenience themselves to off the bat do something abt what they find unfair or whatever #its when theyre handed the seemingly very easy means to be right that they'll start being dangerous #its horribly tragic that the supposed metaplayer and the self-perceived mastermind turned out to ultimately be just an useful idiot #yknow what. I think personally in my heart kipperlilly moves on from her afterlife the moment she says sorry #doesnt even have to be to lucy but that's probably gonna be who received it #ah.... teenage rebellion. teenage gamejacking

every time jun has gone back to China for activities I become more and more done with XCSS (Pledis China)... it's so clear they're incompetent and don't understand how the Chinese entertainment industry works 🙃

#either that and/or theyre deliberately sabatoging jun #which like... i do abide by the whole 'dont attribute to malice what you could attribute to incompetence' thing #but also at this point its ridiculous...#a very summarized version is that in china its very common practice for companies to collaborate directly with official fanbases #so fanbases can organize events and provide promotion and support etc.#like its hard to explain but fanbases are more official organizations that are an important part of the entertainment industry #its basically a job for some people #but xcss/pledis has not been properly communicating with juns fanbases (jfortepiano and jun bar)#and its been causing a lot of issues #theyre also not following certain social media conventions for events apparently #all of which is hurting the promotion of juns acting activities #its also not a good look when every other actor has this fan support and jun either doesnt have any or has last minute stuff put together #bc the fanbases were not given proper notice/communication from the company #also im saying this as someone who has actually defended pledis (korea) for many things so like #yall know i wouldnt be complaining about this if it was just a small thing or there was some other explanation for it #the best explanation is that theyre incompetent and are treating c-ent like its k-ent when its not #but after all these years shouldnt they have learned by now and hired people who know what theyre doing??#might delete this but i needed to rant #its also frustrating when so called carats insult jun for doing solo activities and act like he thinks hes above svt #when hes not even getting proper support for his solo activities from the company 🙃#like no babes i promise this is not easier for him 😭#also i have to wonder what the xcss employees even do most of the time...#as far as i know they dont have any artists that promote solely in korea so jun and minghao should be their main priotities right???#but they seem to do jack shit whether chinaline is in korea or back in china to promote stuff #like not even the bare minimum half the time #ugh anyway #melia.txt

I'm thinking of starting a Substack for posting my silly little hobby essays on food and disability advocacy. Would anyone be interested at all?

#for clarity it is NOT paywalled #ill probably post like #cooking tips and techniques #and science communication #kinda explaining the impact that different disabilities actually have on a person #cuz you can say youre autistic; but how many people really know what that means?#very few unless they have direct experience themselves #you can be in a visible wheelchair cane etc mobility aid #but most people dont really get how that changes the little things in life #and the way all disabilities affect how you interact with others #i think itd be nice to bridge some gaps in that way. most people ive met are very nice #about mobility aids and whatnot #but theyre uneducated and will trip overthemselves trying to help sometimes #when really its counterproductive and they could do another possibly easier thing instead

#i wonder if part of the reason the lolita comm has the rep it does is because so much discussion and content has been moved to priv discord #and private facebook groups #im part of a group where ppl will regularly talk about lolita history and how its changed over the years and wear lolita fashion in all its #incarnation from 90s to today so you’ll see short skirts #bare shoulders #etc #but a lot of the public places are just r/lolita or cgl now so to the outside eye it really looks like thats all there is to the comm #a lot of the bigger lolita accounta never hang out in those spaces bc theyre not a great way to interact with the comm #and now that theres several discords its easier to find your ppl that you click with #im interested in the more behind the scenes aspect of lolita so the discords im in with longtime lolitas are very enjoyable to me to #learn from #musings #the “rules” do not occupy that much of the discussion in the discords im in #a lot of the lolitas are experienced enough that if you start talking about rules #you'll just get examples from both brands and early street snaps that are lolita and don't follow the rules #that's why i really tried not to include a list of rules in my lolita resources post and linked out to a bunch of lolita vids/blogs/resourc #like lolitahistory.com because lurking around the community and looking through content that's already there is the only way to learn what #lolita is really

idk i think the thing that amazes me the most about buck is that hes so full of love that even when hes feeling his insecurities about being too much or whatever he still puts his whole pussy into it

#911 abc #911 buck #listen idk if this makes sense i spent all day sleeping so im not feeling super coherent but like #as someone who very much worries that theyre too much or overwhelming or annoying etc etc #the fact that he doesnt let that influence his actions is just. incredible #like i always end up backing off just in case #and idk if its just because people have /told/ him when they think hes too much #vs my experience of people just subtly trying to distance themselves until i take the hint #but like #idk i keep thinking about that scene where buck shows up at bobbys house and starts with 'hey am i bothering you'#and immediately follows with 'youd tell me if i was bothering you right?' and then moves on from that #like as much as hes insecure he also trusts that people will communicate with him about his perceived flaws #which ngl is also a bit heartbreaking #but like idk that just takes so much strength and i respect him so fucking much for it

really love all the replies to plant treat post, its interesting to think about and overthink about and also some responses are cute fun. my thing was the 'night' (4 or 5 am lol) before we had landed on the discussion of plants being able to see and mimic other plants and it got me lost in the concept of plants as aware thinking creatures that we can just barely understand 2) somiething fucked up happened to the formatting of this 3) Wghy is g,uten free "bread" literally the most miserablw food imagineable. Jesus fucking christ

#theyre very slow creatures for sure but they move and see and. apparently can communicate with one another #though i only know that its to warn other plants of some harmful stimuli. is there more past that?#and moreso can plants have preferences? can plan4s have differing personalities #at least in some small sense? will a plant take what it does not need #do plants want treats. etc #No really though is there any gluten free bread that isnt utterly fucking depressing to eat #i tried eatingva gluten free baguette and one bite ruined my whole day. it SUCKS

This morning, my therapist called me to let me know she's setting up her own practice via telehealth (which is what we were using Anyways) & asked me whether I'd want to follow her there. She still has to set stuff up with insurance stuff But her out of pocket stuff is like HALF what I've been paying out of pocket for the company she was in. So I was like, Hell Yeah let's do it

So im gonna keep up with appointments, maybe once a month or so, just so I have the accountability + the ability to ramble about what I've achieved. Bc that's been rly nice for me. I'll have my therapist back!!!! And better than ever, if only because I have to pay so much less for it 😂😂😂

And ALSO, today I put in my course request for the orchestra into the form. So different from just two weeks ago, where I was practically begging to be given a chance to audition. I was sitting in the same spot of the lobby even, but putting in my official orchestra request instead of sending an email as I vibrated in hope and anxiety. I Got It tho. And the class won't even be that late in the day. It's really exciting.

#speculation nation #also general bonding with friends etc etc. very nice.#it's like. my day took a real turn for the better. my gender communication class was covering relationships today #including abusive relationships and how people express love.#the abusive relationships one had me like. actively a little uncomfortable hfkshfkd not like it was BAD bc it's important to teach the signs #but especially when it came to the Volatility sign i was just like. yup. uh huh. yeah. yup. hfksbfmsbc #because it. hit Real close to home for That One shitty relationship way back when #most days i forget i was in an abusive relationship And Then I Remember.........#anyways thankfully we didn't have a discussion over that. but we Did have a discussion over how often we say 'i love you'#professor was asking for a numerical estimate. and some people were saying like 5 or 6 times a day #meanwhile me realizing i only ever really say that to family (human-wise). and i only see or talk to family every so often.#but i say it a lot to my cats. a Lot. theyre my babies. i love them so much.#so i got kind of stressed and overwhelmed thinking about how the most i say is like 'ilu' but only to like one friend and only rarely.#even in romantic relationships i havent said it for the most part. bc it's mostly not been true and i Dont Like To Lie.#so i got to thinking about Why and had a thing of 'am i heartless??' etc etc. but i think i really am emotionally distant #which i think stems from the fact that i dont trust much of Anyone to be in my life long-term besides family #and the only non family i feel comfortable Sometimes saying this kind of thing to is someone ive been friends with for nearly 8 years now.#so i guess i trust that theyll be here longterm. so i feel less anxiety about expressing it.#my friends told me that they see i still care tho in the ways i act and try to take care of them.#so. not heartless. i just struggle with telling people how i feel.#hfmahfmshfms so yeah bit of a weird day but it got better!!!! and now i am. chilling.#gonna play more sims 2. yes.#abuse ment/

something something still writing my curse of strahd fic. having to find ways to make it more difficult since theyre coming in from being level 13 post game

#starting off with them all separated is a great start methinks #also might have it where being in strahds domain is temporarily inhibiting them a couple levels (that they get back if they defeat him)#like he subconsciously inhibits anyone to be more powerful than him past a certain level to keep them from usurping him #also for context i have a headcanon post game that they miss the telepathic connections the tadpole gave them post game #and they want a way to keep in contact if theyre far from each other or even on different planes #so they work to get a very powerful set of rings for all the origin characters that have rarys telepathic bond on them #that allow them to communicate telepathically no matter the distance or plane with anyone else wearing the ring #a little bit like the ward rings you can find in act 2 that let you ward with the other wearer no matter the distance #and so if theyre ever adventuring together and are separated they also use it to their advantage to communicate via telepathy on how to meet #depending on who's using the ring to communicate too they have a unique presence/feeling to whoever theyre reaching out to #for gale its electric because i can imagine the weave imbued in him and having a sort of sparky magical feel #for astarion every function seems to slow and they get a bit more chill because of him being undead #etc etc sort of thing #and its grate because the cos book literally specifies about spells that allow message or communication and strahd being able to listen in #so im going to use that as a really good point of fear after a certain scene i have planned #that way to deter them from using the rings so they can get nerfed again #im seriously really excited for this #i have so many post game astarion/soleil adventuring fics planned based off official campaigns and even some of my own #and im so excited for all of them #i promise the strahd fic is not the only one already in the works its just that this is the one im more actively writing currently and have #the most written for at the moment

rambled too long so im continuing

#BUT yeah so those drained fairies typically end up living in borrower communities as well. n then most fairies just kinda ignore the #borrowers for the most part bc theyre very different cultures yk. but there r some fairies who r either sympathetic to the borrowers Or #they see something to gian yb helping them out.. if a borrower community is displeased with rhe way the big people r acting they can call #on/hire a fairy to come fix whatever issue theyre having. whether that be scaring them away from a specific part of the house or whatever #thats one of the buggest signs that borrowers live in yr house is if magical events start happening. things breaking a lot mysterious sound #etc. but those arent actually the borrowers its just the fairy helpers #but ya. fairies dont fw humans much at all outside of that .. theyre pretty content to stay in their cities and if a human gets close.#theyre Pretty vastly outnumbered LOL. so humans pretty much learn like Ok so when we go to that grove our bags get lit on fire so Probably #we should just avoid that. and like i said theyre Aware of fairies but they tend to avoid them..#fairies also dont all live in cities some do live in their own little pockets. its generally more dangerius bc Strength in numbers but its #doable.. and some fairies Do decide to live in human houses VERY FEW nad usually they either do that bc they work very closely with the #borrowers there Or bc they have a borrower family member/loved one. sooo yes...

-in a traitorously fragile voice- when i figure out the cheat code for RSD it's over for you fuckers just you watch

#friends did not come over for sportsball but they did not explicitly say they weren't coming until i texted them after the food was ready #and thebgame had started to which they realized they'd forgotten to let me know. which i forgive theyre coming out of #a MH crisis and things are screwy and its very much a what day is it scenario but cmon love at least a bit of warning so im not hopeful #ah well the fried chicken is probably my best so eventually ill be pleased with that right now im just let down #because i want attention i want communal time with people and with sportsball on i dont get that so having a friend meant I could #and bf could enjoy what might be the last game of the season knock on wood etc #but instead im gonna go smoke so i can try and not succumb to the intense nausea and not eat the food ive been making for four hours

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"

I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming

#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with #elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the #grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything #but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd #nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable #are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that #is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant #amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear #masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations #arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will #go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring #annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then #YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated #while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol #I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are #saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to #get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined #with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with #others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then #when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O #also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming #looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj #I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a #person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some #more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all #of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol #I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to #contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

can we talk about revival religions i want to talk about it... i like cant stress enough how concerning it is that people cant tell the difference between a closed practice that you need to belong to a certain community to understand vs. a revival invented by hobbyists for fun based on the texts of a dead (or...made up) tradition that everyone has equal access to & say things like “percy jackson is problematic because there are people who worship apollo” & get taken in by racists and nationalists bc they say shit like “we need to reclaim our marginalised indigenous heritage”. if u think thatbeing born in a nation state thats landmass roughly corresponds with the collection of ancient city-states that produced some of the most widely-disseminated literature in the world somehow puts you in the same position as an indigenous person begging white neopagans to stop burning white sage you really really need to unpack that...
