#anyway thanks!

[screechingzephyrr]

as someone who watched all of chibnall’s run as it came out and then forgot most of it immediately, ive been thinking about rewatching it so i can properly rate it and i was wondering

like i know yaz, graham, ryan and dan are the main companions for the run, but i just dont see the interest in them as characters?? as i havent seen anything on here with big character moments or anything like that????

Thats putting me off a bit watching it again, so i wanted to ask people: what’s interesting about these companions? how do they impact the story? how does the story impact them? the companions are usually most of the story so is it worth it to watch?

please give me spoilers, i dont mind having spoilers because i remember the general story points anyway, and i would be rewatching for enjoyment of the characters to understand them

My unpopular opinion: The MK community has always had a huge issue w/ how it treats women, but I think it's gotten worse with MK1(2). The tags are filled to the brim with stuff of the men but hardly anything with women. Just the occasional Mileena post.

Maybe it's just me and my own experience, but before this game, there was WAY more ppl loving the ladies than now

strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

I've felt that too. It's very typical of fandom but somehow it feels especially egregious this time and I wasn't sure if that was just me. Like it's a struggle to find any content that isn't about male characters in some way. Mileena has the most but it's still not even that much. And yeah people can do what they want and talk about the characters they like I'm not trying to stop them (and it's not like I couldn't make my own content) but like. It's frustrating is all. And transparent

I think that our one mutual may disagree, but you're cooler than wartortle 👍

5 and 11!

Thank you!

5. Which WIP is first on your list to complete this year? Will you post a snippet?

There's a short multichapter I wrote early this year I hope to get edited relatively early in 2024 (but we'll see orz). Have a non-indicative snippet:

Not a single gaze met Tenshi's as she walked right to the centre of the stage, the Sword of Hisou blazing in her hand. If anyone called out as she raised the sword and aimed it downwards, their cries were lost in the noise.

11. Would you like to try any new fanfic genres or tropes this year?

I guess one of the fics I hope to finish this year could count as an action fic? Even then I'm not sure that counts as a new genre for me but hey. In general, I'm probably gonna move around my usual drama/romance/vague senses of dread orbit.

Dude, i think your eliassurge content has given me a new rarepair.

Thank you! 😊 glad you like them!

You have a ways to go but you will get there

omg this is so vague... like is this about me personally or my blog?

bc if its about me personally, yeah i get it and i appreciate that a lot

but if its about my blog... also i get it but also how dare you

[stardustedknuckles]

i've seen that ask abt sexuality going around some other big blogs idk what their game is but it's absolutely not a good faith question

I was actually going to add "it also feels like a copypasta" but that was definitely just a vibe and could've been wrong. On the off chance any good faith was intended I left it off. Good to know, thanks 👍

Also lmao I'm literally a demigray aro before I'm anything else so I'm not even the right lesbian to ask to begin with. I just thought with the new followers I've gotten and the joking "no thanks CR men" post I made last night I might have had a real anon with way too much entitlement to my ask box.

THE WATER SUPPLY yes. Do you know how to dig a latrine, how to empty it out, how to make sure it doesn't contaminate the ground water? How to dig a well, how to tell if the water is drinkable, and what to do about it if it isn't? I don't. And that's why I would not survive in an apocalypse, even though I do know how to spin and weave and sew.

Men like to believe theyd be great in apocalypse scenarios but they dont even know how to sew

I am once again back with my Stan Pines is smart agenda

[faggotisaacfloofs]

the person who helped today when I fell out of my wheelchair actually did a really great job, so I want to share in case other people wonder what to do. [Note: this is not universal, this is merely a suggestion from one person, every wheelchair user's needs are different! I am a person who uses a manual chair usually pushed by someone else who is also disabled.]

Scenario: you see someone in a wheelchair fall out of their chair, and you have the ability to help.

1. Approach and ask "are you okay?"*

2. Next question if they say no, are vague, or open to continuing conversation** is, "is there anything I can do to help?" Or "what can I do?"

If they say no to help, then that's the end, just leave and go do whatever you were doing!

If they ask for help or say they are mildly injured, ask "what would you like me to do?" And wait for an answer before doing anything! If they seem dazed or confused, they might have hit their head or had another medical event*, or they might just be like that due to regular disability. Be patient.

Do not touch the person unless they say to, or they are like, unconcious in the middle of the road, ya know?? Wheelchair users usually have conditions that mean being handled improperly can severely injure us, you could cause much more damage than the fall.

Some things they might need you to do:

Bring their wheelchair closer (mine went about 5 feet away after it dumped me)

engage the brakes of the wheelchair

hold wheelchair steady if it's an unsteady surface (mud, hill, ramp, wet, etc)

offer an arm for them to hold onto to get up (them grabbing you, not you grabbing them) or move another solid item closer for them to use (i.e. a chair) [only do this if you physically have the ability to!]

If the terrain is rough (i.e. a parking lot), they *might* ask you to push their chair to a more stable area once they are back in their chair

nothing

Something else

Do what they ask, NOT what you think would be helpful. If for some reason you have to do something (i.e. you can't stop oncoming traffic and need to get them out) ASAP, tell them what you plan to do

Keep in mind they might also be D/deaf, have a communication disability, be stunned after the fall, have a head injury, not trust other people, etc. Be patient and treat them as a person with autonomy and agency! They might need to just sit on the ground for a few minutes to recover before trying to get back in their chair. They might want everyone to leave them alone. They might ask you to call someone specific. Their chair might have broken and that can be extremely distressing. All of this is like if your legs spontaneously stop working when you're out and about!

A lot of wheelchair users (NOT ALL) have ways to get into their chair on their own once the chair is close enough and brakes engaged (but it's hard from the ground!). Here's what brakes look like on a lot of manual wheelchairs, in case they ask you to lock the brakes. They're levers on each side and pushing the lever pushes a bar against the wheel to hold it still.

ID: A manual wheelchair with the brake levels circled in red and labeled "user brake levers"

*There is also the possibility of course that a person fell out of their chair due to a seizure or other medical event, so that is why it is important to ask if they are okay. If you saw them hit their head, tell them so. If they had a medical event, follow protocol for that, I'm not gonna get into it here (thought I could).

**sometimes a person will be clear after the first question i.e. "I'm all good thanks" clearly means they do not need you to ask another question, you can just leave them alone. Keep walking and don't stare. A lot of the time people will be a bit banged up but be totally fine and able to manage on their own.

TLDR: Ask the wheelchair user if they're okay, then what they need, and then do exactly that, including leaving them alone. Thanks!

Loving reminder from your land history auntie:

North American golf courses have had 50-100 years of arsenic and mercury based fungicide and herbicides applied to their soils.

Do not eat anything that has been grown on a golf course or downstream from a golf course. I know it sounds cool and radical, but you are too valuable to poison yourself with heavy metals.

Protect each other, turn your local golf course into a pollinator garden, not a sex forest or community garden.
