#but I am having so much fun

[herebecritters]

how often does the other 2 interact with the outside world?

While Nergal is an extrovert who suffers from frequent insatiable boredom and needs constant entertainment and stimulation, Dumuzi and Geshtu are much less so. They, for the most part, have been perfectly fine with hiding away from everyone in their burrows.

With that being said, there are a few little exceptions that have popped up.

After the collapse of the First Civilization, Geshtu felt it in their best interest to keep interactions with the Isles residents minimal if at all. But as of late, Geshtu has grown increasingly concerned bout Nergals reckless surface endeavors and ends up at a local bar undercover to get information. Here he meets Hopps the kangaroo bartender. Hopps is a great source of information but he’s also an engaging storyteller. He ends up getting Geshtu into Jazz music and later into Dungeons and Dragons. Geshtu develops a fondness for this particular Tree Friend over time. Even a workaholic like him needs a break from work every so often. It just becomes another part of his routine.

Of the three, Dumuzi is the one who remains the most separated from the surface. However, a small critter that used to sit by her tree and tell fantastical little happy stories about unicorns and fairies and rainbows was led one day to a small crevice below her tree and wandered into Dumuzis burrow. This critter, Screwy, who’s mind has also been broken, is unable to see Dumuzi as a blood soaked vacant nightmare, but instead sees her as a beautiful angel in a pool of sparkles. They spend time together painting murals on the walls of the burrow in secret. One night Screwy is able to convince Dumuzi to step out of her burrow to look at the stars with her. That is the farthest Dumuzi goes though.

All three have their one small connection to humanity. For better or for worse.

Hopps and Screwy belong to @ickyguts

I'm playing Crusader Kings 3 and my duchess has had 5 kids at 27 omg she's freaking crazy

But I guess having a lot of heirs is a good thing cause I played the other day and I had two of my rulers die in less than 10 minutes. Whoever assassinated them: YOU SUCK but also I like the ruler I have now lol

Hey, I know this is the "lovingly bullying your friends" website but please make sure that your friends are actually okay with the jokes you make about them and the things you tease them about, even really innocent things like making fun of typos or pronunciation because that shit is fine for most people but VERY hurtful for others.

"black people are seen as hyper-masculine and face a lot of violence for it, so yes you can be oppressed for seeming or being masculine"

AHT!! lets talk! black people are not actually hyper-masculine. hyper-masculinity is a projection by people trying to justify anti-black fear and violence. it is not a true and then demonised observation about black existence. the hyperfocus on the masculinity of black people is itself racism!

when you call this issue of racism anti-masculinity or misandry or whatever, you are obfuscating the bigotry at play. ESPECIALLY given that it is overwhelmingly just white women's fear about black people's supposed hyper-masculinity that actually gets listened to & acted upon.

in addition, there are other addendums people tack onto their anti-blackness that completely cause this logic to fall apart when applied. Namely, adultification! black people, black children get adultified by white society.

We are assumed to be older & more independent, and thus less in need of the safety, care, sensitivity, accommodation one would give to a child, and this results in violence and neglect. it is directly observable in the way black children are more likely to get detention, suspended or expelled for the same behaviour as their white peers, s/a rates for black youth, and the arguments that 40 y/o cops give for brutalising & murdering black 20, 16, 12, 8 year olds who so much as breathe in their line of sight.

Given this then, following the misandry logic, we can say being recognised as older or as an adult is a form of oppression.

"black people are seen as older/more mature and face a lot of violence for it, so yes, you can be oppressed for seeming like or being an adult"

we can for the sake of this post name this oppression adultery.

i kid. but do you see the problem. being recognised as an adult is obviously, not itself a form of oppression, in fact quite the opposite, being recognised as adult can grant you a lot of privileges that children do not have.

and black kids are evidently, not adults or people who act like adults. they dont mature faster. black 18 y/os will also face the problem of adultification to justify violence against them. black maturity is not a true and then demonised observation about black existence. the form of oppression is racism, and adultification is the deployed means of enacting racism.

the means of combatting the adultification of black people would not come in creating adult positivity or "advocating" for adults or telling children not to fear adults. it comes in the form of learning about anti-blackness, unlearning anti-blackness, and actually directly combatting anti-blackness.

similarly the means of combatting the hyper-masculinisation of black people comes in the form of learning about anti-blackness, unlearning anti-blackness, and actually directly combatting anti-blackness.

Racism explains both of this phenomena far better than "misandry" ever could.
