{{CALL FOR ASSISTANCE}}
Hey there, We need to cut the color for a second. We're not particularly fond of having to make posts like this,(in fact I hate it, because it makes me feel like im just using people) but in the moment I, don't feel like we have many other options.
Names Kitty Hawthorne, but you can call me arcade. I'm a nonhuman system in my early twenties whose taken up the job of a freelance paranormal investigator, more of a hobby now though, if I'm completely honest.
Due to multiple physical and mental mishaps this year we've seemingly found ourselves out of the employment line due to our disabilities. Sadly this isn't the first time we've experienced this, the struggle we've had with keeping a stable home goes back years due to factors relating to my family's....well, I'll just say it, downright awful actions.
In recent weeks though, things have gotten marginally worse, leaving us with back rent to pay, and....having our utilities (water, electricity, gas) cut off due to delinquent payments owed
This has, understandably put a lot of strain on me and our system as a whole, making it hard to keep ourselves mentally in check.
Despite our trying it seems we don't exactly have anywhere else to go in the moment, our mother is sadly, reluctant to help due to the fact my monster of a father has been stalking me for God knows what reason since I left his care. I can't blame her in a way, but it's still disheartening.
If we could take a moment of your time, we'd ask if anyone in these circles our blog is based in have any sort of information or links to possible resources or places I could go-
Anything helps at this point as I need more time to form a game plan with what little I have left.
[[My blog is relatively new, so feel free to direct message me for proof of the matter, I understand I'm dumping all of this into the wild blue yonder way too soon after starting a blog here, and it could read as suspicious.]]
If you see this post, please feel free to reblog it for visibility. For now I have some things to try and figure out myself, so I'll be back on soon.
Stay safe out there.

Ive been struggling a lot with my self image to the point I’m having breakdowns in the mirror. I need help from anyone who can.
I’m AFAB agender/non binary and ive got some gripes about me I want help in altering in any way if I could get help finding resources or workouts or anything that would help me achieve a more masculine silhouette I would kiss you on the mouth (with your consent of course )
I am 24 years old, 5’7”/170.18cm, 195lbs/88.5kg, type one diabetic, neurodivergent (diagnosed ADHD, high suspicion of comorbid Autism though i cannot get an official diagnosis because the waitlist closest to home is a 2 year wait as of 2022) fibromyalgia is also present for anyone who needs any context regarding health concerns surrounding medical procedures they might recommend or suggest
Below are the things I need help in changing as a list with some details surrounding my anatomical structure
My goal is to be completely unsure if I’m a male or female with a look alone but with androgyny that can be a pretty broad area. I know if I gain upper body musculature that can help but I cannot afford a gym membership yet
vvv More below vvv
I have an exceptionally voluptuous butt. Its almost comical to me, I would say I’m slim-thick or pear shaped. Its the type of back end that a lot of cis femme women would covet, its mostly muscle tissue due to years of athletics but theres also scar tissue from years of insulin injections
My hips are VERY wide. Like I said I’m pear shaped, I hate the curvy figure I have and its rounded edges, I have small pockets of fat resting on my hips that only add to the figure
I have a very stubborn hormonal fat deposit on my stomach I want to stop oral birth control which is the most likely culprit but I currently cannot until I can get a hysterectomy
I have a muffin top and artificial hip dips due to fat deposits that I am looking to tame
Chest dysphoria, I don’t have large boobs, they’re a perky B/C cup. I would consider top surgery but I don’t know how to bring that up with my partner. I do use a fytist binder and I love how my chest looks flat/with nice pectoral muscle (even if its smushed boob). My partner loves the way I am shaped overall but I do not. (He/him/they/them bisexual)
Facial features are so rounded and I cant contour to save my life. I know losing weight will be seen in the face first but what else can I do?
Speaking of face I have loose skin under my chin thats not a double chin but any type of glance downward makes a pseudo double chin and I’m incredibly insecure about it. I have a relatively feminine jaw line and I have a jaw exerciser/silicone bite that I need to use more. Are neck tucks something available for me?
I have hooded eyes, they make me look so tired. I know eye lid lifts are a procedure but thats something I would need to save up for and plan for, I am unsure if losing weight would change this
The triceps of my arms feel like they’re on the road to bingo wings/bat wings, I know the tricep is supposed to hang freely when relaxed and not in use but when my arm hands at my side there is a bit of pudge above my elbow that says “body fat” and not soft muscle
I understand weight loss can help with a small handful of these and muscle building can too but there are additional features and traits that cannot be worked for aside from medical intervention and cosmetic electives. I’m looking for workouts, medical procedures and price ranges, shapewear, makeup tutorials, diets that help in weight loss or muscle gain, and literally anything else that might help me feel like this is my body. Its becoming a large hinderance on my mental wellbeing
I really cannot keep dwelling on how my body is wrong when its something I am stuck with for life so all I can do is work to alter it and care for it. However I know these alterations are possible. Ive seen incredible transformations and transitions within the trans community and NB communities and I’m really hoping some of your experiences can be passed onto me so that I can live as myself too
I appreciate those that have taken the time to read this far. Thank you
#please if you don’t have anything to add to my post here can you boost it or reblog it#looking to find body positivity at the end of this road#I have been struggling with being a biological female my whole life#I am not happy being a woman and I cannot see myself as a man#nb#enby#trans#transmasc#trans healthcare#body dysmorphia#body dysphoria#gender dysphoria#gender dysmorphia#resources#trans resources#genderqueer#agender#androgynous#androgynism#androgyny#nonbinary#afab#afab nonbinary#afab problems#afab enby#afab dysphoria#afab nb#afab struggles#insecurity#self dislike

been tryna ignore it but I am so goddamn annoyed at "human" as the default adjective for every kind/lovely/awe-inspiring/whatever thing y'all like about people/characters/concepts/whatever. frex, posts with the framework of "I love it when characters do the thing, it's just so beautiful and human" like give me a break
and i tried to ignore it bc this is very much a me-as-nonhuman problem as opposed to there being something actually wrong with that descriptor but that's a poor reason to ignore being aggravated, tbh. like yeah it's a me problem but 1) it's not just a me problem bc other nonhumans complain about it all the time and 2) it's literally fine for me to care about something that other people don't lmao
it's just so anthropocentric in such a casual way, a casual and unexamined equation of [goodness or sociability or intelligence or complexity of mind or complexity of emotion or capacity of compassion] with being human. that doesn't even make any sense but it's so ingrained in speech (in English, anyway) that if I tried to explain my frustration to anyone that wasn't also nonhuman, or alterhuman, or aware of this in some other way, they'd be like "lmao you're kidding right. you're making up something to be mad at" yeah well I Am Not
just tired of reading posts and bein like "yeah!! that's so good, I love when that happens" and then gettin to the "it's so ~human~" part and goin "well fuck me then" and scrolling on instead of happily reblogging. sure I could just reblog it anyway but now I don't fkn want to :)
#possibly-necessary preemptive strike: hi! if you don't like this post i don't care to hear about it! have a lovely day :)#i am not a monster seeking a way to be human. i am not a creation that wants to be seen as a real boy.#i am simply a monster. a creation. an entity. nothing about me is seeking humanity or aligned with humanity.#except in the purely taxonomic sense of my current biological configuration. but ain't none of y'all biologists.#humans are cool and all but no more cool than a robin or a whale or a wolf or an android or a xenomorph or an elf or a tree. or whatever.#when people show a particular cleverness or resourcefulness do people go ''that's so arachnid'' or ''that's so cephalopod''#or ''that's so vulpine'' or ''that's so corvid' or ''that's so fungal'''#actually they'd be far more likely to look at one of those species and talk about how much like a human they are#barf.#anyway all the qualities about me that people enjoy are nonhuman qualities not human ones thank you good day

torn between making ve-corpsis an isolated island (potential fun to be had with island syndrome and the way that would effect the wildlife in terms of less biodiversity+island gigantism/dwarfism) or making it a massive rainforest (humidity would better suit the drakes and theres a lot to be done with the Massive amounts of biodiversity+the idea of drakes having to compete w that). coughs

The innovation of a 3D-printed device from the University of Edinburgh could pave the way to the abolition of animal testing. The plastic “body-on-chip” device contains human cells from five major organs — the brain, heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver — and simulates chemicals moving through the circulatory system by using positron emission tomography (PET) scanning. “This device is the first to be designed specifically for measuring drug distribution … essentially, allowing us to see where a new drug goes in the body and how long it stays there, without having to use a human or animal to test it,” Liam Carr, inventor of the device, told The Guardian. Future models could also show how organs in different stages of disease react to medicine — as well as how everyday items like foods, aerosols, and cleaners affect the human body — improving precision in biomedical experiments. This device is an example of innovation in biomedical models that could replace animal testing. It could also be cheaper and faster than testing new drugs on live animals. “This device shows really strong potential to reduce the large number of animals that are used worldwide for testing drugs and other compounds, particularly in the early stages, where only 2% of compounds progress through the discovery pipeline,” said Dr. Adriana Tavares of the University’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science according to WION News.
#ecology#enviromentalism#science#animal testing#experimentation#Remember reading about early versions of this tech years ago#Always fascinated me#But I ended up seeing a bunch of people rally against it for the dumbest reasons#I'm sorry I thought the point was to try and get research data and results that can eventually help people#Even the “best animal testing” is still fairly off due to the sheer biological differences#This can help save time and resources AND yield more useful results AND at the very least massively reduces animal testing#But some people decided the scientists who've spend years on this were “attacking scientific traditions” or were “ARAs GONE MAD”#First off “Grand scientific traditions”????#Second way to either admit you have no relevant knowledge or straight up ignore all the many valid criticisms of animal testing#What were they rallying against? Better testing with less waste? More usable data faster?#The potential reduction in animal testing? (They were mostly mad about that)

i think i might revamp my lore a little bit. again. not that there's much to revamp but likeeeeeeeeeeee
#i think a lot about What Do Animals Do Better Than Robots#in general not just in regards to flight rising bc i do study a thing that animals specifically are able to do and not robots#i guess maybe that's one cool thing about hyper regenerating biological mechas.... they can just Keep Going#the idea of a mecha that just keeps growing back its limbs (just in a wrong way) after being damaged is soooo.... idk... it's sexy to me#and of course they would need fuel#i guess that would give a rationale for the deep tropical setting? way more biomass in general lol#but then like the ecosystem. lmfao#maybe they have some kind of bioengineered stomachs that can break down any kind of organic matter into energy/fuel for regenerating#something like that#idk#anyway i think human vs alien is way too pacific rim for me and i also like my worlds to be Painfully Mundane in some ways#i think it's funnier if biomechs are literally just like territory guard dogs that people use to duke it out over mining resources in caves#or something#idk maybe even the caves are where you can farm a very specific type of microorganism that produces some valuable byproduct#i love saying idk. and i love doing stupid biology shit in my lore ouguhghrhhghghh

I've been playing oni all day again and I'm rotating various dupe hcs in my mind... Might take a stab at designing some random dupes later to fuck around and wait nvm it's past midnight god damnit
#rat rambles#oni posting#well. alas.#anyways Ive been thinking abt how its likely that the bionic dupes and freyja aren't as close to normal clones as the main dupes are#and thinking abt other hypothetical genetic niches would likely have dupes built for them#in my minds eye bionic dupes were planned to be much larger scale and some within the team working on them had hopes they'd completely#replace the normal dupes but after various data leaks and drama with the vertex institute the project was put on hold and it never quite#came to life again and as such while there's enough stuff in the pod's database for them to be usable they are an unfinished project#a huge part of this can be seen in the bionic dupes inability to naturally level their skills as currently any physical action is run#through specific commands that are stored within the boosters#bionic dupes are equally sentient to normal dupes to be clear but they are basically constantly having to manually give commands to their#bodies to perform actions so they are heavily limiteds by what commands they have available to them#the boosters do also help take the strain off the rest of their systems tho which is why athletics goes up with every booster#but yeah most of thsis stuff was still in the works before as the process of more seemlessly merging their biological and mechanical parts#was still ongoing as it was more important at this point in the project to make sure that it wouldn't take too much time and resources for#a pod to print a bionic dupe compared to a normal dupe#similar problems also tend to apply to more soecialized dupes but on a much smaller scale#generally they just require more space to store the data for them but some (like freyja) are physically larger#the far bigger problem in their development was actually being given the time and resources To develop them given theyre inherently#situational and the more specialized they get the worse at surviving in other environments which means the data for them would just be#taking up space in the pod which is space that could be being used to store some other solution that isnt another mouth to feed#and also simply within the labs making these dupes they're having to ask for a lot of resources and time#these soecialized dupes require a lot more genetic tinkering than normal dupes which means you can't just slap the dna of one of your#coworkers in and call it a day you actually have to be selective with your samples and fuck around with them more#so when the dupe you just spent ages engineering solves the same problem that putting on a coat does you might have a hard time continuing#not to say freyja isnt borderline necessary for a starting ceres colony I love you girlie#just that from the perspective of jackie a. stern this might feel like a waste of time

fighting demons trying to start this econ essay
#it would be easier if it all the literature on the topic wasnt SOOOO TERFY???#(its abt ecofeminism)#and like….yes women are exploited like a natural resource#and yes nature has historically been associated with femininity#but we MUST STOP with this women are biologically tied to earth bs#like….i get it the first calendars were lunar or whatever tf#but shut up#also tired of this man the hunter shit????#stfu!!! ur wrong!!!!!!! categorically!!!!!!!!!!! anthropologically incorrect!!!!!#economics#econ#studyblr

im so tired of being alive its not even a joke anymore
#i love contributing nothing to society and i love wasting my parents money on my stupid biological needs and i love wasting my siblings time#on stupid hangouts that i dont need to go to and wasting their money on things i dont need and i love being an active drain on everybodys#resources and i love being worse then useless#its just like. Whatever i guess. i should die soon

Ginger is not overly well known among Fleet, but those who do know of them generally regard them with disdain and/or dread.
Ginger not really giving a fuck about the empire itself isn’t much of a secret (they don’t care who knows, they don’t flaunt it but they don’t hide it) and they’re also hemoanon to the extent even their superiors don’t know their blood color, which doesn’t make them popular either.
Their utter lack of hemoloyalty is also pretty evident. They don’t blatantly talk back or rebel, but it’s more out of indifference than anything else. While they aren’t reckless about it, Ginger knows they’re afforded a level of untouchability because until the next Mycoba is hatched and trained, no one else can do what they do.
The empire has all manner of bombs and guns, but when they want somewhere to feel their wrath for multiple generations - to make an example of an entire place - they send Ginger.
Pestilence comes, and it lingers long after its horseman has left its ruins behind.
#the empire and ginger have a mutual resignation that it is easier to work with each other.#rather than be at odds.#the empire gets a walking biological nuke and hazard crew#ginger gets resources and information they wouldn’t have access to otherwise#but ginger will never pretend they give a fuck about doing anything beyond what they’re told.#at least when it’s time to wreck things.

one of the reasons it's really hard for a lot of intersex people when intersex topics are on the news cycle is because the public's reaction reveals how little anyone knows or cares about intersex people, including people who call themselves our allies. almost every time intersex topics are trending, the discourse surrounding them is filled with misinformation. people who only learned today what the word intersex means jump into conversations and act like an authority. endosex/dyadic/perisex people get tripped up over things that are basically intersex 101, with tons of endosex people incorrectly arguing about the definition of intersex, who "counts," DSD terminology, and so much more. i've seen multiple endosex people say today that they've been "warning intersex people" and that we should have known that transphobia would catch up with us eventually, which is an absolutely absurd thing to say given the fact that consistently over the past ten years, it has often been intersex people sounding the alarm on sex-testing policies and also the fact that many, many intersex people are also trans, and already are facing the impacts of transphobia. there is an absolute failure from the general public to take intersex identity seriously; people seem not even able to fathom that intersex people have a community, history, and our own political resources. instead, endosex people somehow seem to think they're helping by bringing up half-remembered information from their high school biology class which usually isn't even relevant at all.
and this frustrates me so fucking much. not because i want to deny the impacts of transphobic oppression--i'm a trans intersex person, trust me when i say i am intimately aware of transphobia. this frustrates me because there is no way we can achieve collective liberation if our "allies" fail to even engage with basic intersex topics and are seemingly unaware of the many forms of intersex oppression that we are already facing every fucking day. if you are not aware of compulsory dyadism, if you are not aware of interphobia, if you are not aware of the many different ways that intersex people are directly and often violently targeted--how the fuck do you think we're going to dismantle all of these systems of oppression?
if you were truly an intersex ally, you would already KNOW that this is not new, and would not be surprised--interphobia in sports has been going on for decades. you would know that we do have a community, an identity, a history--you would have already read/listened/watched to intersex resources that give you the background information you need for allyship. you would know that although there is a really distinct lack of resources and political education, that intersex people ARE developing a political understanding of ourselves and our oppression--Cripping Intersex by Celeste Orr and their framework of compulsory dyadism is one example of how we're theorizing our oppression. It's absolutely fucking wild to me how few people I've seen actually use words like "interphobia" "intersexism" "compulsory dyadism" or "intersex oppression"--endosex people are seemingly incapable of recognizing that there is already an entrenched system of oppression towards intersex people that violently reshapes our bodies, restricts our autonomy, and attempts to eradicate intersex through a variety of medical and legal means.
you cannot treat intersex people like an afterthought. not just because we're meaningful parts of your community and deserving of solidarity, but also because intersex oppression impacts everyone!!! especially trans community--trans people will not be free until intersex people are free, so much of transphobia is shaped by compulsory dyadism, the mythical sex binary, all these ideas of enforced "biological sex" that are just as fake as the gender binary.
it makes me absolutely fucking livid every time this shit happens because it becomes so abundantly clear to me how little the average endosex person knows about intersex issues and also how little the average endosex person cares about changing that. i don't know what to say to get you to care, to get you to change that, but we fucking need it to happen and i, personally, am tired of constantly being grateful when i meet an endosex person who knows the bare minimum. i think we have a right to expect better and to demand that if you're going to call yourself our ally, you actually fucking listen to us when we tell you what that means.
okay for endosex people to reblog.
#personal#intersex#actually intersex#actuallyintersex#interphobia#intersexism#compulsory dyadism#trans#lgbtqia#transphobia#also to be clear im not necessarily mad about people not knowing or using the term compulsory dyadism. bc that term in particular is newer.#and from a dense academic theory book. so that's something that i understand why ppl might not yet know. i just brought it up as an example#and my main point is less about which specific terms people are using. but more just that endosex people seem incapable of recognizing the#actual material instances of oppression that are already happening. and teh history of that. and the systems#set up to enable it#like idk i don't care if you don't know or use a term if you're otherwise aware and understand how the sex binary is fake and all the#discriminatory ways society then enforces this. and how it fucks intersex people over#you see what i'm saying?
