I wish I was neglected in a "I don't care where you are and what you do" and not a "I'm not gonna take you to the doctor for your degenerative eye condition, or at all"

This art piece gave me goosebumps.. a major wave from hips to the back of my head.

I haven't checked out the rest, I don't what's going on but I just had ... ideas 😭

The position of Magnus's head, the way his eyeliner is drawn downsided, the body language and the lavish fur coat, as well as the ease with flaunting visible violence..

This introduced me to the idea of Magnus with little to no empathy at some point of his life. His loving tank emptied out. And so, for a while, he was the villain if his path was crossed.

Because why not dress himself in more, gold and fur, dine at the finest establishments. Be respected, feared, obeyed by actualy using the power of money, Charisma and whatever people see in the fruit of his hard work in the mundane world, as well as the shadow world.

This is a man who've hit rock bottom in life and love, rose up on his own this time to find he ran out of fucks to give and no friends around morally check him. This is the villain arc.

He looks terrific

Relatable, I fear and adore him.

Do you see my friend oooover there? His name is Raphael. Raphael, dear, could you wave your hand? That's it, thank you. He is rather gloomy and antisocial person. He doesn't like people much. Doesn't like when somebody upsets me. Do you get me?

Anthropromorphization

(Xernalia, an alien, married to Thomas a human. She has found him hunched over cloth and scattered stuffing.)

Xernalia: Hubby... what are you doing?

Thomas: trying to stitch this teddy-bear back to life.

Xernalia: ...you know it's just stuffing, right? There isn't anything to bring back to life.

Thomas: Is that the weirdest thing I've done?

Xernalia: ...no, but I don't know how you're defining life here. It's inanimate

Thomas: yeah... but I feel bad now that it's all torn up, so I'm stitching him back together

Xernalia: Why do you have empathy for an inanimate object?

Thomas: probably because evolution would want me to have emathy for something that's inanimate than something that could be my mate

Xernalis: that's stupid, evolution should've given you a better way to detect the sentience of things.

Thomas: I mean, it did get me an amazing wife.

Xernalia: Wh-no, itt- not worth.... ahgiueaowjhBIEVUCybnowriadnsjc, how dare you say that's the reason you married me was because of some faulty neurons

Thomas: they're hardly faulty if they let me get with you

Xernalia: I mean- you're not wrong, but also. You're conflating several ideas.

Thomas: no, the "faulty neurons" are there to differentiate what is and isn't human, since you can't interbreed with non-humans.

Xernalia: but-

Thomas: yes, you can with genetic manipulation, but evolution wasn't made for to account for magical genetic engineering.

Xernalia:..........

(Thomas gives an affection peck on the head to Xernalia)

Thomas: yeah, I know it's stupid to get hung up about a destroyed plush, but I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I just didn't repair it.

Xernalia: What about the object puts such importance on it?

Thomas: *shrugs* I dunno, I just feel sad when I think about it all torn up.

Xernalia: so, it's like empathy?

Thomas: kinda? It's not sad on an intellectual level, but on an emotional one. I feel for the plush, but understand it's an object. And it doesn't have feelings.

Xernalia: would it change anything if it didn't have a face?

Thomas: probably.

Xernalia: what about a non-quad-limbed body structure?

Thomas: less so than the faceless version.

Xernalia: what about if it was a monster?

Thomas: I married you, didn't I?

Xernalia: >:[

Thomas: sorry, I just couldn't resist. And an actual answer would probably be... depends on how it's monstrous.

Xernalia: So it's about how... human-ish the thing is?

Thomas: roughly, yeah.

Xernalia: so what about a ball that's been left to rot? It was once used, lovingly, by a dog but it got lost in the drain and now it's decaying slowly at the top of a pile of trash?

Thomas: Xernalia... plz don't play with my emotions like that...

Xernalia: oh! Sorry. I- I thought you wouldn't get emotional over a ball.

Thomas: humans get emotions over a lot of things. I even got emotional over computers and satellites, which are very not-human.

Xernalia: so, you just empathize with... everything?

Thomas: yeah.

Xernalia: 8(

Thomas: What's that look for?

Xernalia: It must be so hard to live like that. I mean, you eat meat, right?

Thomas: well, it's different because I need to eat. Thinking about the animals is just something I try not to think about. Like everyone else

Xernalia: All humans feel bad for what they eat?

Thomas: I mean, not everyone, but that's the general feelings I've heard

Xernalia: so it's more... selective?

Thomas: Yeah. I mean, that's why wars happen I think.

Xernalia: so this empathy can both be given to anything, but also taken away from anything else. That seems... stupid.

Thomas: yeah, it's stupid, I feel like it shouldn't be so easy to stop thinking about people as... people

Xernalia: I think it's stupid that it's so arbitrary- you're here, trying to revive an inanimate object, despite it never living

Thomas: well, I was thinking more "I want there to be less violence in the world" not "I want humans to be more accurate in their assessment of sentience." You really want to make humans more sensical, don't you.

Xernalia: no, you're hot when you're nonsensical!

Thomas: Glad to know nonesense is hot, I shall endeavor to always put my socks over my shoes from now on

Xernalia: Not that kind of nonsense!

[everyones-story]

objectum - being attracted to objects in any manner including but not limited to platonic, romantic, familial, queerplatonic, and sexual attraction. differs from objectophilia [usually]

POSIC - perception [of] object sentience, individuality [and] consciousness. a belief that [some or all] objects are sentient, can communicate with you, etc, for a wide variety of reasons

object empathy - feeling empathy for objects [but not necessarily a belief that they are sentient or can communicate with you, so on, which is why its separate from POSIC]

i got curious and wanted to make a survey. sorry if i bungled the definitions

[eagans-world]

Been doing those are you a boy are a girl quizzes...

I am deadass annoyed i keep getting that thing where it's like this:

Like i get one or the other but I'm androgens according to the tests (I'm trans masc btw)

I swear to you, the questions that lead to me getting that female % was questions about emathy and children

So apparently men can't be empathetic or nice to children now.

[vislokawitch]

There's nothing funnier than moralizators on this hellsite. Half of them parrots shit like "eat the rich" but suddenly they're like: "haVe SoMe emaTHy, tHey dIEd hoRrrrIbLy, uwu"

Um, sorry but nope. I choose to reserve my empathy for, say, those immigrants in Greece who drowned while the costal guard was sitting with their thumbs in their collective arses. Or for Ukrainians who have war crimes committed against them. Or Canadians dealing with wildfires, etc, etc.

There's so many tragedies happening, I literally don't have it in me to give a single fuck about filthy rich pricks who paid obscene amount of money to do something very dangerous and got killed by their own hubris.

Good riddance. Shame Musk wasn't among them

[princess-of-the-corner]

low emathy/low sympathy chloe but she's trying after they figure it out. but also low emathy/high sympathy marinette but she doesn't realize it (yet)

NICE

Slamming White ppl tho isnt racism honey. White ppl don't experience racism. Its a power dynamic. Read a fuxking book

Hey ANON, you've send it TWICE, so I've deleted the other, okay?

You missed my point entirely. I tried to point out Waititi used the peaceful, but useless natives and their white saviour trope in a way that was supposed to make the white saviour look cool and natives helpless and foolish.

Which is something we're used to from your favs- white racists- and I'd expect more emathy, or even subversion from a man, whose background should make him stand up for said natives and abhor such a trope.

[uraandri]

this post is a prime example of the fact that emathy is something that's learned and not something inherent to human beings because you people are souless ghouls. "like i want to help but it's so annoying having to delete those asks so that i can see asks from my friends" everybody in the notes here is an example of why we should implement reeducation camps starting at age 12 for all yankees as soon as possible. some of you are 27 reblogging this shit.

Please do not send me asks for donations

Here's why:

I have NO money to give you

I'm not a popular enough blog that I will give you any reach

I am a minor, and most of my followers are too

It makes me feel extremely guilty

Seeing pictures of injuries or hospitals etc are triggering for me (which are in most intro posts for this sort of thing)

They are always worded in a way that makes me feel like I am a murderer if I don't donate

It makes me feel uncomfortable

I said I don't want them, and my boundaries should be respected

I can't tell what is a bot and what isn't

I get a lot of spam from this. It is disappointing to see 10 new asks in my inbox just to be the same ask for donations over and over

Please, just respect the fact that I have said this.

Edit: To all the people reblogging this, I'm sorry you have had to deal with this too. And yes, you can put this in your pinned post! Stay safe <3

1319 The start of mistakes

The year jas just began and Jameson aged up into a preteen along with his sisters Paulina and Leanna which aged up into children. Jameson quickly fell in love with music after finding a violin out of the garbage. He starts to dream of showing everyone around him him playing.

With Alice starting up her business selling jewelry at the market she watched the interest of the queen but instead of getting her approval, the queen disregarded Alice which made her business quickly lose its appeal and not have any customers.

His love for music grew stronger with each passing day he found a guitar in the public park for everyone to use and the people in the park came to witness just what a great musician he is.

With no money to feed her children, she went to her good friend Gemma to rant about it. Gemma wanting to help her friend she told Alice about the Wishing Well along with the warnings that came from using the well. To get your wish to come true you will have to do something in return. But Alice was willing to do anything to make sure that her remaining children had money so that they wouldn't have to suffer the way that she had growing up. So Alice went to the well and wished for money but the well would not give it to her without an exchange. Which was for her to create an enemy with the hatred that the person would have for her it would charge the well with enough power to give her what she truly desires. Alice already having the motive decided to get her one-sided hate for the queen to become actual enemies.

On other events Nicolett has started to feel great emathy for the animals in the farm since nobody takes care of them with Jameson always off with his violin practicing and Alice creating Jewlery. She has started to take care of the farm managing the animals to still have produce even though it is not a lot of income from it she wants to help as much as she can.

In the beginning of this year Juliana gave birth to two beautiful children 1 boy Bryson and 1 girl named Amara. The birth went very smoothly and there were no issues in the duration of the pregnancy. In the end of this year, Juliana has fallen pregnant yet again wanting to have a big happy family like the one that she grew up in.

Births:

Bryson Gilbert & Amara Gilbert

Age Ups:

Jameson Bennett (Preteen)

Paulina Bennett & Leanna Bennett (Children)

What a mess

Like I do undertsand where peple that are like: ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’

Come from,

Becasue as others above alreday stated, someone having no/low empthaie is a lot of teh time used to justefy that it's O.K. to treat them bad

(wouldn't that make the person who treats the low/no empathie perosn bad also have no empathie? ... different diskussion ... )

And assuming/saying that people on the spectrum are "empty" are "less" are "not really human" ... is already a wide spread assumption that peopel use as an excuse to treat people on teh spectrum as garbage ...

I get it

I aIso agree with @tamlins-stories-and-poems

Low/no empathy doesn’t mean “can’t be kind about other people being sad” it means “doesn’t feel sad just because other people are sad.”

That all beeing said

A) What is so great about empathe?

Like, what is really usefull if I am sad or hurt or morning?

Is it usefull if there is someone who feeels exactly the smae as I do, who sits with me and cries?

Or is it more usefull if that person doesn't feel what I feel and thereby still can function, still can finish cooking dinner, remember that there is laundry in teh washing mashine, pick up the kids, walk teh dog, pay that invoice ... and geneally take care of the things I CAN NOT HANDLE RIGHT NOW and that don't care becausse lief doesn't stop fro me and my feelings ...

Like those things have to be done ... and i can't ... and if you can becasue you dodn't feel what I feel that is actually pretty great ...

Don't know about you, but I prefer people with low emathy ...

Also, I sometimes have insane levels of empathy, which. leads to things like ... me wasting several lessons with my french tutor becasue she had a broken arm and all I could feel was how paifull that is ... which is bad if I should be consentrating on french grammar ... and like ... she didn't exacly teach me fro free ... so my parenst payed her money for me to sit there and just be in pain and retain fuck all ... how is that usefull?

B) ...

Brains are shit at multitasking (like @brightlotusmoon said)

EVERYONES brain is shit at multitasking

The part of your brain that feels empathy ALSO feels pain and ALSO anticipates pain

SO, if you are already in pain (e.g. sensory overload) or if you are anticipating beeing in pain (sitaution where experience tells oyu that people will trea you like garbage -> pain), your empathy will be low or non existant

That is true broth for people ON and OFF the spectrum

It's only that people on teh spectrum are more often in a situation where beeing in pain/anticipating pain is kind a the default stae ... like it is something that is just kind a happening in teh background ...

SO the level of empthy ANY indevidual person shows is different depending on their pain level

btw ... you dodn't have to beleiev me ...

You can beleieve a neurologist

Gu said there were three main findings from the study:

It confirmed that people with ASD are hypersensitive to pain, a finding that has been documented in previous studies.

In a new finding, the study showed that when people with ASD anticipate painful stimulus, their brains generate greater neural responses in the ACC, compared to those without ASD.

In addition, the research indicated that the more brain activity the participants show during pain anticipation, the less they score on an empathy quotient questionnaire.

Gu said people with autism often are poor at empathy, which is the ability to understand what another person may be feeling. This result indicates that pain anticipation is related to social impairments faced by those with autism.

SO, if someone is not empathic enough to your liking ... STOP HURTING THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Autistic spaces are getting so much more hostile towards people with low empathy, and it sucks

There was a subreddit I really liked, people were chill, and then there was a sudden influx of people making posts like ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’ And people making posts explaining that no, actually, some of us do have low empathy got attacked and told they were wrong or ableist? And it sucks, because its just so hard to find a place to exist where you can be seen as not evil? I don’t know, it just hurts a lot to be told that

[animalsoutloud]

In a world where you can be anything, be kind. Make the switch away from animal products to plant based ones for a happier world.

Shadow Walker's Walk

Shadow Walker’s Walk

A few days after Cat Eyes and the others told their tales, Shadow Walker’s ankle felt good enough to allow him to accompany Trunk of Tree as he checked on the Northern guard postings. He had taken to asking someone from the tribe each time he made a check. Although all the Veritas possessed detailed mental maps of the entire area, Trunk of Tree needed to see the entire area through new eyes that…
