where do you think “griddle” as a nickname came from?
I have thought about this! I think it initially came from Harrow being two years old and not quite having gotten the hang of enunciation or compound vowels.
It stuck around mostly because Gideon hated it—that's not her name!!—and even as toddlers, Harrow's favorite game was getting under her skin.
#source: I took a course in early childhood language development in college and used to babysit my fair share of two to four year olds#some of them with speech impediments so we worked on that a lot#the name ''Gideon'' has some hella complicated phonology going on#as you can see in it becoming ''Kiriona'' when it's transposed into another language#ikkle baby harrow didn't stand a chance of getting it right#and poor gideon didn't stand a chance of harrow ever correcting herself once she'd let on it bothered her 🤣#griddlehark#the locked tomb#gideon nav#harrow nonagesimus

People are always making horror versions of Peter Pan but as a transmasc who was obcessed with Peter growing up he will forever br my first trans alegory. I wanted to be Peter Pan so badly and at the time I had no idea why I was so afraid of growing up. Because as a kid I was a "girl" but being percieved as a girl was not that different from being a boy.
I could walk around shirtless depending on the place cause I had no boobs, I could sit whoever I wanted and my parents would frown but not care as much if I played with all types of toys and watched all cartoons. I could wear any type of clothes and it wouldn't matter. Gender doesn't matter as much until you are an adult and deep down you know that.
I was terrifield of growing up. I wanted to be Peter Pan. Forever a lost boy. Never having to deal with the pressures of a womanhood I mostly couldn't see myself in.
And so if I ever wrote a Peter Pan story it would be about transmasc Peter and transfem Wendy and the fear of growing up and losing this place where their gender identity and expression mattered a little less. And the positive note was that while we have to grow up we don't have to became what people expect and that is hard but we have our place in this earth and we have joy and is worth it. I'll likely never do that. But Peter Pan will always mean that to me.
#evil peter stories are really cool#but there's a subtype of ppl that see them as the only valid reaction/interpretation#and they frustrate me#peter pan#trans#transgender#fun fact my childhood obcession with peter started at four and lasted until i was 12#and early on my mom would hate it#not because I clearly wanted to be peter#it was the one male characther she did not care I wanted to be#but because I used to jump around the house pretending to be him#and she was convincing that me jumping from a coach to another meant i thought I could actually fly#and would jump of a building or something if she ever took me to a high place and stoped looking#and she told me that when I was 5ish and I was like “I'm not stupid” and it is one of my first memories#she was right because my reasoning wasn't peter ain't real I belived in him until 6#but that off course I couldn't fly i didn't had pixie dust

Modern AU Berk is either a tiny mostly unheard of self-governing Archipelago somewhere in the middle of the norwegian sea, or its a tiny also unheard of island that's close enough to mainland to have a bridge. Regardless they have their own language that's not even the official language of the region, it sounds grating to literally anyone not from there.
The main town (it's not the only one on the island but is the largest), the Village of Berk, is a fishing town and is the kind of place where no one ever leaves; most of the families have been there for generations and people very rarely move there. There's a very short list of things for entertainment that aren't wandering in the woods. The movie theater only has movies that premiered months ago and the wifi is shit no matter what, you will never watch a YouTube video in hd.
Despite all this, it could be a good tourist location for the scenery, if the people that live there weren't so unpleasant, that is.
#httyd#i already taked about this i thingk but im talking about it more#i like the idea of the 'barbaric Archipelago' existing and berk beibg the largest island#but of course no one but the people who live their calls it that#but im also biased towards little islands you can drive out to bc that was my early childhood man#httyd modern au#how to train your dragon#moth.txt#my aus#yes this is for a rotbtd au that doesnt even take place on berk why do you ask#deyas dragons

y'all all my life my dad has never shown any real interest in traveling outside of the philippines because he's not really interested in doing touristy stuff so the cost + his personal list of cons have just never made it appealing to him UNTIL a few months ago when i brought up that he and my mom could go abroad and watch a tennis tournament and now every few weeks it's been "kara can you look up how much it would be to fly to xyz" "kara do you know anything about getting this visa" "kara can you check how much hotels are in abc"
#anyway love that for them#especially because my mom says at this point at her life she doesn't want to travel without my dad#and so she's relieved because she thought she might never fly international again lmaooo#idk why i didn't think of suggesting it before#like my dad used to play tennis + i have memories dating back to my early childhood of them staying up to watch grand slams#+ my dad pays for multiple sports streaming platforms to watch the grand slams#and he recently subscribed to another one when i told him they have the wta tournaments(my parents prefer watching women's tennis)#like of course that man would strongly consider getting on a plane to watch tennis in person 😭#i guess i never thought of it before because no in the family had ever gone out of the country to like watch something/go to an event#before my brother and i went to singapore in march#i mean technically one of my aunts have but that was always for work#not blog#personal

I didn't realize just how much Little Town on the Prairie meant to me as a book. I've barely started and every bit feels iconic. This one and Little House on the Prairie feel more like home than most of the other books do.
#little house#little town on the prairie#little house on the prairie#laura ingalls wilder#of course those two also just have to be the most problematic#we'll just move along past the blackface folks#nothing to see here#i'm trying to parse out why i feel such a strong connection to these two in particular#maybe it's because there's a heavy focus on farming and carpentry and small town country life and that's the background i come from#i know that this one already has the best sisterly content#i had a post brewing about how odd it is that of all the classic 'woman writing stories heavily based on her childhood' books#this series has by far the least focus on sisterly bonds#this subject will probably be its own post by the end of the book#i have been loving the greater laura-carrie connection i've never noticed before in the past two books#though i wasn't sure if it was really there or if i just paying more attention after going to the carrie museum#but this book is really giving us laura-mary friendship at last#which is great cuz in the early books she barely talks except to fight with laura#so it'll be nice to see that develop#not to mention we still have the iconic desk scene#(if this book gives mary her due it does continue the anti-older-sister crusade with its portrayal of eliza jane)#anyhow i should stop writing tags now have a good day

People’s lack of self-awareness never ceases to amaze me
#don’t come to a stranger’s blog#read one post about their kid#gather up all of your own childhood trauma#and decide to be a crusader in a situation you have no idea how to solve#this person wasn’t even a follower#just a random person who found the post#and decided they alone could deduce the best parenting move#which of course wasn’t the one I’d picked#oof boy#probaably came from a good place#but never has anyone ever enjoyed unsolicited criticism from a complete stranger#your uninformed opinion isn’t helpful#wish that was a lesson everyone learned in early adulthood#but there are a lot of people still in the dark on that#hope they figure it out#in the meantime#please enjoy a good natured blocking

Last night I watched 3 children while their parents went to a concert—2 five year olds and an eight year old—and they were calling each other nonsense mean names. I asked what one of the names meant and they told me “it means Donald Trump.” I laughed at that because. Kids are funny. And then the LOOK that came over them all as they squinted at me suspiciously and the eldest asked me quietly, “are you voting for him, or are you voting for her?”
And guys they literally started cheering and dancing when I said I was voting for Kamala Harris and it was just the funniest sweetest little moment ever
#it’s been a while since I was charged with more than one kid at a time#but it was so fun to be back at it in a group#and it was FUCKING EXHAUSTING but also:#I still got it 😎#I also left with some very complex emotions about ‘problem children’#because it was one kid from one family and two siblings from another#and the parents of the one kid were saying some kind of awful things about the eldest sibling#and the other parents are their close friends so I’m like first of all: that’s not mature behavior at all#but the main thing they complained about was this older child wanting attention#and I’m not an early childhood professional by any means#but I’ve got about a decade of working with kids 1-16 under my belt#and usually if a child is acting out to get attention… that means that a need is being neglected#physical emotional or social it doesn’t matter#this ‘problem child’ was high energy and a leader in the group#but she’s also in a different developmental stage than the children she spends the most time with#of course she’s going to play differently#and want different attention than the 5 year olds do#she pushed some boundaries because I’m a new person but she didn’t give me actual trouble#and it just made me so sad to hear that after they all went to bed#I find that children respond better if you treat them like… actual people that want to be taken seriously#it’s my second time with the three of them together as a play group and I’m more sure of this than I was the first time#I have never yet met a ‘bad’ child but I have met too many children without the support and understanding they need#but maybe I’m just an eldest daughter……………………………

like idk how to TELL these ppl that my femmeness wouldnt exist without my mascness and vice versa. and im not alone in this!!!! at all!!!! both things are beautiful and worth exploring in all aspects actually!!! i boyed AND girled badly at the same time when i was a little kid and that affected me directly and that also affects how i analyze the queer media im into!!!! that is also not a unique experience!!! but bc i dont frame femininity as divine or transient or given to us by the fuckin moon or whatever while devaluing genders i dont personally like (i just treat it as a normal fuckin human experience in tandem with other experiences bc thats what it is. and if you dont like an entire gender, no matter what it is, you should work on that) im apparently a bigot and putting other trans folks in danger. okay
#our t#oh man moot i feel u on those tags in ur rb if you see this#our dirk is kinda transfem leaning but he feels like a fuckin gender traiter and a faker bc hes once again not femming correctly#feels like a traiter fem-ways specifically i mean#because hes not shedding off all instances of his intersex/cis boyness and framing his transfemness as 'getting better'#and he shouldnt fuckin have to bc thats just who he is. but he feels pressured to be a whole girl. he feels like hes baiting ppl#so he never talks about it in public bc its hard enough getting others to treat him seriously as a clocky guy#its fucked. its completely fucked and its the exact same shit that sparked our plurality in our early childhood ill be fully real#but it feels worse bc now its coming from ppl who say over and over again that theyre safe to be around bc theyre also queer.#i cant even get into what our girls go through. no one in this system has ever 'gendered correctly' in the eyes of anyone queer or not#and its only gotten worse. so much worse#this sites hatred of masculinity is hurting the people theyre trying to uplift#fuckin rip to our transfem butches they just aint people to most of this site. not even talking abt fandom circles anymore there#like the way ppl treat bigender wo/men here? nahhh roxanne would be drawn and fuckin quartered. our bro too#and even just binary trans girls.... like if their blogs arent hyperfem and covered in lace they get fuckin transvestigated#the instant theyre 'aggressive' in a way that isnt seen as Feminine Rage#and of course.... all transmasculine people are gender traitors and/or cheated the world out of another object i mean woman (/s)#and fandom discourse and turf wars over gender headcanons is a particularly blatant microcosm of this#its abysmal here

copy pasting from DMs and expanding on this a little actually
Thinking abt the fact that Elliott is an unreliable narrator and will just outright lie about things about himself, or twist them so severely that they threaten to break in order to be palatable and not say anything he thinks people won't want to hear. Man who spent a lot of years lying about his family, and upbringing, and sexuality, all because none of it was something someone else would want to hear and he doesn't want to be seen as broken, or a bummer, or to speak ill of the dead. It's better to mangle the truth until it fits whatever narrative you want to spin than it is to say something that's going to horrify someone
#one of my genuine favorite bits was from the SUPER early days of RP and deciding I didn't like how I had written his backstory#and began to slowly over the course of several months dole out little bits of lore that directly contradicted something he had said#until his brother (prior to his death) smashed their childhoods open like a seed and said ''he has been lying and here is what happened''#love a dramatic backstory reveal#also loved the panicky desperation of a caged animal who knew he'd been caught but still was unwilling to admit it#your super open and honest and truthful friend has been LYING to you about every inch of his past short of why he came to the Neath#and the configuration of his family#anyway then his brother got murdered because he sucked (womp womp)#now instead of lying about his life on the Surface he just doesn't discuss his childhood or up until he came down almost at all#''why is most of the post in the tags'' I'm using my inside voice

I'm tired of dreaming about my dad. I know it's part of processing, but I am just so tired.
#speculation nation#negative/#sometimes theyre nice dreams where i have him back. except i still wake up sad.#sometimes theyre dreams where im trying to prevent what i know is going to come. but without fail i wake up. and he's already dead.#and then there are dreams like the one i just woke up from. where i know he's dead and im feeling the full force of grief once again#bawling and bawling in-dream. with enough force that it wakes me up.#and of course. i wake up sad from these too.#it makes me think about that passage i wrote for ITNL. well over a year ago. before the Year Of Death even began.#where i wrote about vash dreaming of wolfwood. with a similar sort of vibe to this.#i wrote that inspired by the death of my grandma. who i was close with and greatly troubled by her death.#even that had nothing on my dad though. no loss has ever felt this severe before.#it's been 5 months and sometimes i feel okay. but then i feel the ache deep in my chest again#and i know im never going to be fully free from this pain.#i want to go back to the person i was before i lost my dad. to before i lost my uncle.#i want to go back to early may of last year. where life seemed hopeful and i was minimally touched by death.#only 2 deaths from people close to me. 3 deaths if you count my childhood cat.#now im up to 5 deaths of people who were close to me. and 7 if you count my sweet baby boys.#can you believe that? 4 deaths ive grieved in the past year (and a bit). 2 more deaths of ppl i knew but wasnt close to.#and 2 of them were so genuinely life-altering that they changed me as a person. my uncle and then my dad.#i still dont know who i am now. i feel so lost. i look out at the piles of boxes of my dad's stuff and i feel so overwhelmed.#im supposed to go through them. i havent touched them in months. i dont know how to even begin.#and so i try my best to keep up with my cleaning and my schoolwork. it's about all that i can manage

this site has been made so afraid of atheist thinking that someone can endorse 'criticism of religion as a hierarchical system of social control' in the same breath as denouncing 'antitheism' . what do you think that word means
#myposts#saw this in real life this morning#genuinely i think having only religious perspectives talking about how dangerous antitheism is has made people forget#the uhhh conflict of interest there? of course religious people are going to say that they have a vested interest in those#methods of social control. duh. whether they are benefiting from social power given or are simply invested in it on principle#so the hypothetical 'antitheist' is an evil-doer who wants to rid the world of all spirituality because they love genocide for its own sake#meanwhile the same people that have fallen victim to that fearmongering will express basic antitheist principles such as#religion as a control mechanism exerted from early childhood is somewhat unethical. because theyre positions that make sense#your imagined distinctions from antitheism are uhhh imagined.#you have fallen for a Ruse meant to protect the exact power dynamics you criticize

spn poetry month - day 6 - shadows: blood in the backseat
a tribute to anna for today's "shadows" prompt! wanted to explore the angels'-deaths-as-wing-shadows sort of idea, & this odd dissociative-grace thing sort of just. Sprung Forth.
@spnpoetryrenaissance
#played with the fire motif a little bit too bc of course inherent to a burned shadow is the flammable exigence. but tried to focus more on#the ash of it all. idk. i like the idea that anna was cognizant the whole time i feel like that was sort of. Touched On w the whole early#childhood psych evals thing but (as is the case with most things in spn) tragically under explored.#i also like the idea that when angels go out they can sort of See it happen? like they end up in the empty obviously but when their eyes do#the shooty grace thing its like Expelling them from their vessels so they are momentarily sort of Suspended above everything#before the metaphorical lights go out. i just think its all very compelling#i'm not really explaining all that very well but [meme voice] i just think she's neat. anyway.#spnpoetryrenaissance#spn poetry#day 6#FUCKING HELL JUST REALIZED I QUEUED THIS TO THE WRONG BLOG. whatever its whatever i'll just self reblog in the other direction#i'm not writing all that again

At last I realize the true, virtuous purpose of Pokémon randomizers: to swap out one of the three good starters that there have ever been in place of whatever fuckass bullshit is supposed to be there, and change literally nothing else.
Begone otter, it's big jaw time.
#pokemon#of course the “three good starters that there have ever been” have an outsized chance of just being the ones from your childhood#unless you were a child after the early 2000s in which case your opinion is objectively incorrect /s#times typed “fuckass” somewhat egregiously++
