I absolutely agree with this (and all the reblog additions) but I think (hope?) Yoshiki reacting less to death might have to do with that whole thing going on Rie’s mentioned. ‘Hikaru’ being around and touching Yoshiki clearly has an effect on him (noticed by Rie as well as Tanako’s hamster, though I’m a little surprised Asako hasn’t said anything yet). It’s not talked about much but it’s certainly there, and Rie even tells ‘Hikaru’ to ‘mix’ less with Yoshiki since it’ll soon end up dangerous. Tbh I’m not exactly sure how to interpret that ‘mixing’ because I don’t speak Japanese so I rely on the translations, and if anyone has more insight that would be nice. Anyway, here are the translated panels:

She specifically says that Yoshiki won’t be able to return to the human world anymore. Imo that is especially interesting because we’ve never seen him fully leaving it in the first place, but this hints at there being more going on with him than visible as well as perceived by him. I’m not sure, but that half of ‘Hikaru’s’ core might have to do with it too.

This leads me to believe that Yoshiki unknowingly dabbles more in the inhuman world than we all (including him) think. And what do we know about the inhumam? Specifically ‘Hikaru’, who seems to be at fault? That he has no real understanding of the concept of death (at least in the human sense) and thus hardly cares about death at all.

So, Yoshiki pretty much being desensitized to death might be a cause of that ‘mixing’ with ‘Hikaru’, since he’s essentially ‘mixing’ with the inhuman.

Hgsn volume 4 and 5’s scary moments feel completely pointless which is a wild thing to think about with a horror story

Think about it, what impact has any of the recent attacks had on Yoshiki and “Hikaru”? There is 0 reflection on any of the attacks. With their personalities in the first 3 volumes you’d think Yoshiki would start depending on “Hikaru” even more as he starts realising that no where is safe from impurities and that “Hikaru” would get even more obsessed with Yoshiki and be terrified to let him out of sight. But this never comes up. The village getting worse is seen as this hypothetical that’ll happen if they don’t figure things out and not as something that is already happening.

Their lack of reaction makes them feel out of character

bringing this back because i’m still thinking about it

another point is that i am not transitioning away from feminity or from no masculinity into a state of masculinity. i am not inherently feminine because i am afab, or inherently not-masculine because of it.

i have always been masculine! i have amways been feminine! i have always been both and neither! and i can’t transition on from one end of a scale if i never let go of the beginning.

tbh, i don’t think masculinity and feminity is a scale with fem on one and masc on the other side at all. there’s a seperate scale for both feminity and masculinity, from no masculinity/feminity to max masculinity/feminity because... those things aren’t interlinked the way people think. i am both. i have always been both. even as a kid i have been proud of being both! of doing boy things with the boys, and girl things with the girls (which is the sexism i was taught at an early age and have since unlearnt, but it goes hand in hand with the way that we interlink masculinity with maleness/manhood and feminity with femaleness/womanhood, and i was proud of being part of both groups.)

masculinity and feminity exist seperately from gender. they are not inherently linked. they can be, of course, and people can be only feminine or only masculine or both or neither or fluctuate. but my gender has nothing to do with my feminity or my masculinity, so i cannot define my gender with it.

honestly i dislike the words ‘transmasc’ ‘transfem’ ‘transneutral’ ‘transneumasc’ ‘transneufem’ ‘transfemmasc’ ‘transneumascfem’ and, if there’s more, those too. they imply that you transition to a binary masculinity/feminity/neutrality/mix of those, and many trans people i know don’t.

the male body i want is not inherently masculine. even if i want a male body, i don’t actively want to dress masculine. transmasc and transfem are just new words to reinforce the same male = masculine, female = feminine binary again. my little brother (amab) has long hair and a sidecut, wears ‘masculine’ clothes, and still keeps getting read as a girl because he’s short and has a rather high-pitched voice (because he’s a kid!). not even a masculine presenting amab person is inherently masculine.

in the end, my transness means that i want a male-looking body, but not neccessarily a masculine one. and, apart from that, i as a whole am not and do not wish to be masculine. i am neither only masculine or only feminine—i am both—but if i had to choose just one? then i’d be transfeminine. i enjoy dressing mostly fem, appearing mostly fem, looking mostly fem. in a male-looking body. but i cannot call myself transmasculine for the wish of a male body, if there is no masculinity i am transitioning to.

pre-facing this by saying there are always two answers from two of our headmates, one who is apl & plato-favorable & demi-alterous, and one who is apl & plato-averse/repulsed (probably more what you’re looking for). this means we have different opinions and experiences, but i thought i’d talk abt being apl-favorable too in case that might help :3

What does being aplatonic mean to you personally? — Basil: I don’t feel the need to make friends with anyone. I’m demi-alterous & plato-favorable, so if someone approaches us, and we get close, I start considering them a friend at some point. However, while I want to stay close to them, that’s all I want. I don’t really care if we’re friends, or siblings, or maybe even romantically involved; What counts is that we’re close. Essentially, being apl, to me, is not wanting to make friends with specific people, and let the process happen naturally instead. — Naoto: I don’t want to/feel the need to make friends. Not with specific people, and neither with anyone in general. I don’t mind acquaintances, familial relationships, or those of the romantic type, but I do not want any friends.

Are there any parts of your identity that you feel are connected to your aplatonic identity? This could be the aforementioned neurodivergency, another queer identity, or anything else you can think of. — Basil: It very much goes hand in hand with me being a romance-favorable (it’s complicated with my opinions on sex) aroace, and I believe these go hand in hand with my neurodivergency (namely ADHD & autism, not social anxiety, depression or ocd). — Naoto: My aplatonicism is very much connected to my aroaceness, and our ADHD, as well as autism. I do think it’s probably connected to our trauma/DID as well.

Can you describe your experience with friendship growing up (how you felt about it, if other people said anything, etc.)? — Hard to say as a system,, we never had many close friends, and never had the desire to make friends with specific people. Friendship’s always just happened to us, but never on our behalf. We used to get teased/lowkey bullied for not having a lot of friends, but it never bothered us.

What tropes and storylines do you wish you saw less of in media? — We both agree on this; we don’t like how everyone always is supposed to have friends, and if they don’t, they’re a freak and need to work on themselves so people start wanting to be friends with them. Basically, the picture that no friends = there’s something wrong with you (and that something has to be changed).

What tropes and storylines do you wish you saw more of in media? — We also both agree on this: Friendless people who start friendless, end friendless, and are not portrayed as broken. People who don’t want friends, yet are not broken. Maybe even someone who gains a friend, realises that they don’t want any friends, and is able to peacefully resolve it. Stories in which friendship isn’t the center, other than stories about romance or simply sex. Non-friending apl people!!

Imagine your ideal (but semi-realistic) living situation and life. You are not in school. You have a job of your choosing. You are content. How often do you interact with other people in this scenario, and who are they to you? — Basil: I’d like to live with our qpp, so social interactions with him every day <3 Plus, I’d like to see/talk to my close friends at least once or twice a month. As few as possible social interactions with people I don’t know (except maybe on the internet), and maybe a few meet ups with lose friends each year. — Naoto: No qpp. No friends. Maybe a romantic partner, but I doubt I’ll ever have one. I’d like to live a town or so away from them, close, but not too close. We’d see each other once or twice a week. As few social interactions as possible with strangers, except on the internet. I wouldn’t mind work collegues as long as we only see each other for work.

Would any aplatonic people be willing to answer a few questions about their identity and experiences?

I’m planning on writing an aplatonic character and there’s only so much insight I can get from the outside looking in.

You can comment, repost, send an ask, or DM your answers, and feel free to skip any questions you don’t want to answer, especially if it’s too personal.

kinda late but an easy way to make claws is to put four halves of toothpicks (or whole toothpicks—makes the claws longer!) around your finger, two at the top and two at the bottom, so their ends (that are not connected to your finger) all meet at one point. like this:

then you can glue them together with duct tape. an easy way to do that is to wrap a stripe of it around your finger first, sticky side outside, and then sticking the toothpick parts onto it, like this:

after that you wrap around all of your toothpicks with duct tape, and make sure that none of it sticks to your finger. repeat with all fingers, and you get claws you can put on and off, and even paint :3

i’ll try to add irl pictures to this later (in a few days, hopefully not too many) bc i think the explanation and drawn guides alone are a little tricky to follow, but yeah. cheap and easy diy claws, and all you need is a bunch of toothpicks and some duct tape!

Heyyy so I’m a tas devil therian and i was wondering if anyone on here had any good suggestions for therian gear that has claws? I’ve been looking on here for some but couldn’t find anything other than paw pads n stuff-

If u know of any ways to MAKE claws, that’s cool too :D

for us, they add themselves or we help adding them. which is usually when they feel different enough from everyone else

When do you decide to finally add a new member to your system list?

I personally wait to get at least a name or a placeholder name but that usually takes some time for alters and even longer for (who I assume are) fragments or very sneaky alters.

It just tends to add to my denial if I immediately add a new member right after meeting/noticing them.

I get into a spiral of "The others are real but this one I made up!! No other explanations!! So I must, in fact, be making it all up."

i did not mean to say son in the tags... first of all i’m not sure abt their gender, second of all his child IN LAW. to be fair they kinda have a kid/parent relationship bc desert mentored them and they looked up to him big time and very visibly liked him more than their own dad (who is a very nice guy but. not a role model for their son). anyways he is killed by his kid (in law). his kid (in law).

fuck it i’m ordering a physical copy of ‘unnatural causes’ by dr. richard shepherd. i’m gonna take it everywhere with me and i’ll highlight passages and i’ll make notes and i’ll put dog-ears on pages. i’ll transform a book about death into something that’s loved.

saw a cool post abt how loved books look worn and have stuff written it and things like that and. now i’m sad i don’t have my forensic medicine/pathology books on paper so i can highlight passages and write notes and put dog-ears onto the pages that mean the most to me :(

not really a wolfcut (i was too afraid to cut off a lot so while they are layers only at the bottom of my hair lol) but i think i like it?? plus i’ve never cut my own hair before and it looks nice so :3

i haven’t seen it styled yet either and it’ll look even better with curled ends i think so i’m kinda excited for that

i dreamt about giving myself a wolfcut twice in one night... maybe it’s finally time
