#being human is being a little gross

[humanp1lls]

i think that being a little gross and not worrying abt if ur pristine to others is better for ur mental health

[fisheito]

rereading the nuca pink doujin and seeing yakumo tear himself apart re: his snake form vs his human form all this agony and self-doubt and silent suffering and fear of rejection like "if i looked less human would u hate me" , "if u saw me in my true form wouldn't that be horrible. terrifying. disgusting" , "if i admitted i want to swallow you whole would you think worse of me"

and i imagine him asking something like this to the crowd of clan members , who are , undeniably,, a group of Kinky Fuckers

they all smile with the serenity and carefully masked excitement of a horny olivine. masterful beautiful reassuring expressions (errr..... masked to different degrees depending on the clan member)

The way people are becoming anti-children nowadays is really sad. And I'm not talking about people not wanting to have kids of their own, that's fine and something that shouldn't be shamed nor up to someone else to debate. No, I'm talking about the people who adamantly hate these little humans for simply existing, wanting to ban them from spaces due to them having emotional reactions that they are still learning to understand (you know, the kind of lessons that everyone had to learn and figure out at one point). It's gotten to the point where I've even seen these types of people genuinely support children being harmed and deny their hurt under the consensus of "Well then maybe they shouldn't be there," in your average public space. Like, imagine thinking hating on children, people who need assistance and guidance, is something to be proud of.

Is the Raven Prince averse to touch and afraid of pain because of what Davix and Olphix did to him when he was a child?

Hi anon!

The Raven Prince is touch averse in every universe. He has definitely gone through some things that made that worse, but those things aren't the same in every universe, and he'd be touch averse regardless of those things. The degree of severity might shift, he's just never been very drawn to this kind of intimacy.

I see it as more inherent to him as a person, in the same way that he rejects his human flesh simply because he prefers to be a bird, and prefers to be in the sky. Therefore at least in when he is a bird shifter, a big part of his touch aversion is specifically being touched while he's in the form that he likes least and has the most dysphoria over. He's the shifter that says most often - out of all of our shifters - that he is an animal first 'I am only a raven' 'I'm just a raven' than any of our other shifters (Julvia, Gulvi, Fenwrel, etc.)

Imho, the Raven Prince's issues with touch come down to issues with his body, and in fae stories, this is specifically because he identifies as a bird first and foremost and is kind of always craving to be back in that form, and I think sees living in human form as a detraction and not a bonus. It's also why he shifts so much more often than any of the other animal shifters in any of his stories. He's always very quick to return to raven form.

As a human, I'm still noodling on his touch aversion, but I think it will be something he's always had. Some of it will likely be exacerbated due to trauma, but he's the kid who never wanted to hug extended family. I think honestly even in scenarios where the Raven Prince picks up a partner, he never sees that partnership as something with a lot of physical affection of any kind, and doesn't really identify with that kind of intimacy as being like...wanted often.

I'd say a fair bit of that is also neurodivergence + sensory overload issues.

I keep dreaming up Limbus Company sinner gets isekaid into Genshin Impact AUs

I sadly don't have the full set of 12 plotted yet, but I've started designing the ones I'm invested in.

Everyone having locations and then casually dropping that Outis is in the Arataki Gang. Give the old woman a gun again. She deserves it. ❤️

I also think she would get along with Shinobu.

It would be an entire lore dump on their general isekai'd lifestyle, their new social circle, if they share their history, and the possibility of them using specific weapons or visions. (Some characters have notes on skill/burst/idle animations)

Currently I am drawing each character with a basic weapon that is either tied any WAW egos a character has or an item that is related to their backstory.

Ok I'm well aware I'm opening myself up to be called disgusting and dirty etc with this but like

We're overthinking cleanliness these days, right?

Like we're underthinking actual proven methods of common disease transmission like respiratory droplets, while at the same time I've just seen several people agree with someone saying it's "unsanitary" to pick up your coffee cup by the rim instead of the handle, and I'm just ????

For the average adult immune system, if your hands are contaminated enough that touching the rim of a mug is gonna make you sick, you should probably wash them immediately before you go anywhere near food or beverages - otherwise, humans are animals and we're covered in pathogens. Very few things in our daily lives are sterile and they don't stay that way for long. The rim of that mug is already teeming with the same kind of bacteria as reasonably clean hands unless you boiled it alongside the water for your drink. Your body is designed to deal with that.

Idk maybe my perspective is skewed because I basically live on a farm but like. My hands are almost always slightly grubby? The kitchen area is kept clean and when I'm prepping food, I wash and sanitise my hands, and I'll always defer to the hygiene standards the people around me require, but otherwise I will absolutely sit and chew on my nails after planting some bulbs and Vaguely Rinsing Em Off, and I haven't even gotten Slightly Sick because I wasn't raised in a plastic bubble full of disinfectant

well, brushing my teeth is exactly as fucking boring as i remember it being, but it does, in fact, make my teeth feel significantly less gross. who'd've thunk it.

[soupkiddo]

tried to put myself in the headspace of a transphobe and got pissed off cus it's so fucking stupid

[rearranging-deck-chairs]

also, about carmillas control of her vampirism, while it's hot to think about, i dont think fangs actually come out during sex. like in the s3 scenes where shes actually still a vampire that we dont get to see but i dont think that happens

based on my inferences that the losing control of the vampirism happens mostly bc of anger/threat and it basically never happens atlaura and i think one of her worst fears is hurting laura, i think during sex is the least likely time for any loss of control like that

+ theres the fact that laura is the bitey one during sex, even with human teeth

Ever heard an omegaverse concept that bothers you so much you can’t stop thinking about it

[vaugarde]

yknow i totally get how it can be upsetting to see pmd interpretations where humans existed but went extinct before the games, i was resistant to it too at one point, but i think its a little out of pocket to claim that that interpretation is disgusting and people who do it are edgelords doing it with “zero basis”. when like the game actually does toss a few hints that humans do exist in that world and it does make for good fanfic content. like just filter it out, again i get its an upsetting topic but the people who do it arent morally corrupt yknow?
