I would be lying if I said that I was a little jelous of systems who have members who know who and what they are immediately. We have members like that, someone fronted yesterday and could write his pronouns and gender within minutes, thats just how it was for him. Thats amazing!! Having that amount of self reflection and internal communication is amazing and im proud of anyone who can do that!!! I hope it keeps improving <333

I just run into this personal wall, I have fronted multiple times, im around a lot and can front often but I couldn't tell you one personal detail about myself. I have general likes and dislikes but innerworld wise I got nothin honestly.

I am being patient with myself and doing everything I can to not force myself, but sometimes it feels like im not doing enough and thats why I dont have answers.

"The Bride" not having a name outside of her relation to a man she wants nothing to do with. Her body being constantly objectified and sexualized before she was even conceived. Her face, her torso, even each of her individual, rotting limbs being carefully selected to fit the sexual preferences of an absolute stranger. Her skull being beaten in and manhandled during a man's jealous outburst, her head rolling to the ground like an inanimate object. The story of Marilyn Monroe's body. The way women cannot rest even in death.

The constant expectation of who The Bride will be before she even is. The way patriarchal societies buy pink onesies and Barbie cribs and headbands with bows before a baby is even born. The stain of forever being "just" a woman. The way this mirrors Eric's flowers, the way he love-bombs her and lays ownership to her before she's even developed consciousness.

The way Eric insists that his bride doesn't need to develop basic language skills or even a rudimentary understanding of the world around her, because her education doesn't directly benefit him. The way he was created to usher in a new era of scientific discovery for mankind, while she was created only to please him. The Biblical story of Eve being carved from Adam's rib. The way organized religion trains women to believe that their only use lies in being obedient and subservient to the men around them.

The Bride being continuously punished for her sexual awakening, for any exercise of her own autonomy or free will. The way the only “love” she has ever known was brutally murdered because she refused to cater to the expectations of the men around her, because she denied the title that was thrust upon her at birth. The way that men have always done this to women— labeling us as "jezebels" or "harlots" or "whores" or "bitches" or "sluts" for refusing to fall into a role we never consented to performing.

And, of course, the fact that Eric continues to feel entitled to her body even after she tells him no in every conceivable way. "Why won't she let me touch her?!" The parallels between his behavior and that of so many incels who believe that women exist solely to serve their purposes. "She is to love me!" The way that, after losing her, he spends his time partying on yachts with models and playgirls, because that's all women are to him... just pretty objects. The way he bastardizes the word "love" because he's never taken the time to know or love her, not really.

The inherent trauma of her birth and nature— the way the horrorshow of her creation reflects the unspoken horror of every woman's creation. "She is but a cluster of fear and not knowing."

Ohhhhh Mary Shelley I fear you would love this show...

Their entire relationship

[mebis-art-dump]

Two kindly bugs

Lie resting in grottos of their own

Their blessings, an aid

They ease passage

To the hiding place

Of Great Beings

And their boons

Werewolf culture is being tired of being one of the most relied on members and wanting someone to be able to also do this job every once in a while,,,

I get that as werewolves in the headspace, it was bound to be our role, to be protectors or comforters and such, but it feels like its just me sometimes doing this and taking care of peoples breakdowns. I wouldnt ever trade my job for the world, I adore being there for my headmates and friends, but I need a break too ya know?

when the creature in Frankenstein said, "Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?" and when The Last Days of Judas Iscariot said, "Why didn't you make me good enough so that you could've loved me?" ANYWAY IN THIS ESSAY I WILL—
