Keep seeing the old "oh look at me, I've seen the northern lights" meme (on other social media admittedly, not here, here's pretty well adjusted (didya think I'd ever be saying that?)) and can't help but wonder why people just can't be happy that other people are getting joy out of something...?
#its not hard right#even if youre not arsed let people be#its not bad to be into something#even if loads of people also are#let yourself feel joy and wonder#and let other people feel it too#when is that beaten out of us and why do we let it#also ive seen the northern lights and they were fucking awesome so#helping my less outdoors friends who didnt see them last night see them tonight if theyre around#because its NICE to spread JOY and WONDER#if you try and let yourself be happy its much easier to be happy for other people#just chill out#maybe its coz i overshare everything so everyone has no choice but to feel my joy lmao#i can use a compass from the pirate game and now im like LOOK NORTHWEST and no one knows what the fuck im on about#trying to explain via constellations#“look for the plough” “what the fuck is that” soz

I'm also just gonna say, threatening a minority with law enforcement is a bigger fucking threat of violence than whatever hammer explosion cartoon bullshit in a tiny ass vent post could ever be.
As someone who's had cops breathing down my neck fucking waiting for an excuse to hurt me on multiple occassions, it's fucking violence.
#6aaah#I've also had people pre-emptively threaten police violence on me#to get me to comply with their demands before even making them#like just point a loaded gun at me at that point assholes#and fucking pull the trigger yourself instead of holding some moral highground for the inevitable

Renée Minkowski is extremely into the abstract concept of Crew Bonding in such a way that it impairs her ability to actually bond with the particular crew that she has.
She wants them to have Christmas dinner together and give each other Christmas gifts, but she's not made an effort to learn Eiffel's feelings about December 25th and to think about what he might like to do that day.
She wants them to each say what they are thankful for at Thanksgiving, but when she says she's "thankful to have such a great crew on this mission", it sounds extremely unconvincing, as if she's just saying what she thinks a Commander ought to say at a Thanksgiving dinner on a space station, rather than expressing any genuine sentiments or revealing anything personal about herself.
She wants them all to participate in the talent show "to boost morale... bond as a crew, and... have a great time doing it", but Hilbert and Eiffel's reactions make it clear that talent shows do the opposite of improving crew morale for them.
Christmas celebrations and thanksgiving dinners and talent shows are all things that could potentially have a positive impact on morale and bonding for some hypothetical space crews, but in the way Minkowski approaches them, none of these things are particularly helpful for the morale and bonding of the people who are actually in her crew. Minkowski puts real effort into group bonding activities for her crew, but they are always based on general ideas about crew bonding, rather than on thinking about the individuals around her and what she can do to connect with those people in particular.
#Wolf 359#w359#renee minkowski#renée minkowski#I think she was probably even more intense about crew bonding stuff earlier in the mission#By the beginning of S1 she's just going through the motions to some extent#Also telling Eiffel 'that's actually less horrific than what I was expecting' to his thanksgiving contribution#isn't exactly a good way to encourage him to contribute#She tells him not to do smoke rings for the talent show as well#which under Wolf 359 science is sensible#but it's also reflective of a determination to get people to participate in the way that feels right to her#rather than the way that's natural for them#Tbf Eiffel at least seemed to enjoy that thanksgiving dinner#but it doesn't really seem like it brought them closer together#Especially with culturally loaded things like Christmas and Thanksgiving#there should have been a discussion there#but that's the thing#communication#and understanding her crew as individuals#those are things she has to learn#I'm also not saying that successfully bonding with Hilbert would have made any difference to anything#but pre-Christmas-mutiny it was an aim of hers at least on paper#Another thing to note is that Hera is partially excluded from some of these things#She's the only willing participant in the talent show#but Minkowski gives her a part with two lines#Minkowski encourages Hera's contribution of what she's thankful for#but only after Hera's asked if she could say something#Oh also I think that Minkowski's thanksgiving speech sounds like she'd planned those lines out before she even got up to the Hephaestus#She isn't thankful for her crew. Not at that stage. She's saying it through gritted teeth#But she'd planned on having a crew she was thankful for

Sydney burying aeself in work does not change based on corruption. Corrupt Sydney is no more likely to take a nap on PC than pure Sydney. The dialogue for it isn’t even that different: (corrupt) "Don't move. Taking a nap." versus (pure) "Hope you don't mind if I doze off on you.". Corrupt Sydney just works in Sirris’s shop after school before going to pray in the temple. The underlying problem has not been solved.
Jesus fucking Christ that is so depressing
The underlying problem hasn’t been solved!
This goes into my other headcanon/“I’ve thought about this too much,” but I really don’t think Pure and Corrupt Sydney are all that different?
Like, in terms of how they express their sexuality it is: Corrupt Sydney is more upfront, while Pure Sydney needs to “convince” PC because he can’t make an active decision, otherwise only he can be blamed for it
But they still have the same or similar ideals? I remember seeing this screenshot for the Confessional (while doing research):
I know logistically they’re the same for coding/game reasons, but it still asserts Sydney holds the same ideals after being corrupted. I could talk more about the above but that’s for another post
It feels less like being corrupted fixed all of Sydney’s problem, and more of “it fixed(?) one, but created a whole bunch of others on top of them.”
Corrupt Sydney is also reminiscent of good, straight A teens eventually breaking and swinging into the other direction. They are trying to prove something to themselves and others (mainly that they aren’t that person anymore), but are in a very difficult/sensitive place in their lives. They are figuring out their identity now, and are conflicted and confused.
Imo, Corrupt Sydney still harbors all the problems they had before: overworking themselves, having confusing/damaged ideals on relationships/sex, and still not really handling the whole other parent situation. The only difference is that they fit in with the town way better now.
#dol#degrees of lewdity#dol sydney#sydney the faithful#sydney the fallen#there’s alot I can say about corrupt Sydney but the short of it is: thinking about them makes me unexpectedly sad and complicated#because while this is a step in the right direction they are not tackling their core issues#I’m probably thinking about it too much but I’d like to imagine corrupt Sydney is just the first steps to them being a….not normal but#a stable person?#also wow I didn’t even get into Corrupt and Pure’s Sydney’s Anger because that’s such a loaded discussion#also also imaging Sydney’s internal reactions to seeing people at school react to their change: they’d feel very conflicted!#also I have not played with fully corrupt Sydney yet so if this is inaccurate let me know!#merry answers

have you ever considered...that identifying out of woman/girlhood because you don't relate to the societal implications, expectations, etc... contributes to making womanhood (feel) even more restrictive? maybe you feel better when thinking of yourself as anything but a girl/woman because you do not feel like a woman (what does that even mean?) but in my opinion you just added another brick into the prisonwall that is gender.
#just my opinion#i wish it was more accepted to question gender identity and to encourage others to question WHY they dont feel like#they “fit” their gender#and your actions have consequences for others too#there will be girls after you who UNDERSTANDABLY hate being perceived as female but their take away will not be that society sucks for wome#and needs to be changed and change happens with every gnc woman and girl who stands her ground and says fuck you to the gendered expectatio#placed upon her from the moment of her birth#but she will take away that as she does not fit the narrow societal definition of womanhood that there is no space for her in it and#that SHE needs to change and this goes on and on until womanhood is simply the label for people who present the most sexist stereotype of#what a woman is#and the fact that i get asked for my pronouns since having short hair and the girl with long hair next to me isnt is a fucking sign of that#and also i beg you to question why a pronoun a tiny word other ppl use when talking about you is SO loaded with negative/positive#implications that it holds so much importance for you#all this applies specifically for ppl without dysphoria btw#i also believe that dysphoria is at least heavily influenced by societal expectations too but its a bit more complicated#personal#you may send me death threats now lol i dont even care anymore#radfem safe#radblr#radfems do touch

the fig tree in my back yard is going bonkers rn, all the figs are ripening at once and I can only eat so many 😭 i went out to get a few and picked one that looked juuuust this side of overripe, bit into it and tasted literal alcohol. they are out here straight up Fermenting on the tree because I can’t eat figs fast enough. on the bright side the wasps are going absolutely BUGFUCK on them (which means I will have even more figs next season)
#lindsey shut up#no one cares about my backyard drama but I am going to share anyways#i have also had a Surprising number of people tell me they’ve never eaten a fig before#and tbh im thrilled. bc then I get to offer them a fresh sun warmed honey fig#the pecan tree is still young but it’s already dropping a bunch of teeny tiny hulls like IM HELPING#like omg yes you are baby. but maybe let’s give it another year of growth before we try making a buttfuck load of pecans#(it will not)#don’t even get me started on the muscadines#the muscadines are a sovereign nation at this point and I am afraid to try and interfere

Hi, I kind of have a question, Adam said that can't walk in the sun when doesn't drink blood, but what exactly happens? Do vampires just burn immediately, begin to be more sensitive to sunburn or is it another kind of thing?
so, in time and time again I really wanted blood to be something of a medicinal need for vampires. it's not a 1:1 metaphor of course, please don't try to think of it that way, but it's how I conceptualize it.
He needs blood to go in the sun, to heal, to "be something of a human again" and it also grants him the ability to time travel, shapeshift, compel others...
Without blood, he can't do these things. So, to be honest, without blood vampires would just... die. They can't exist without it. being in the sun uses blood, its dangerous. it wears you down. it makes you weaker. it can kill you!
I realize this ends up making my vampires feel weak, but... it's a metaphor for chronic illness. They have limited energy and if they do not take the time and the 'medications' they need to recover, they'll become weak or die. They have to manage their limited energy.
there's extreme privilege for vampires who have steady access to blood, like Adam does. His access to blood lets him time travel, transform, go in the sun constantly, etc. Vampires without as much access have to become nocturnal, they get stuck in one place, they have to be careful because even a small cut can cost precious resources...
A desperate vampire might end up hurting someone for what they need. a vampire with people who are willing to help them can get by, or even thrive. a vampire with none of these will die.
I know it's not the most satisfying answer, but it is my answer! My experiences being chronically ill are very much at play here.
#I dont want people to think too much about it as a metaphor for chronic illness#cause. OBVIOUSLY 'monster who kills people' is kind of loade#but as you can tell in my writing I'm sort of doing my own kinds of vampires#idk. I think within the confines of my story it's a metaphor I'm comfortable with people reading#but within the broad scope of vampires as a concept not so much#I mean even within the confines of my story I think that it has severe limitations as a metaphor#just. yknow it is the internal logic I'm using and the intent I have#asks#anon#also you dont have to start all your asks with 'hi i sort of have a question'#its okay to just ask me things#pretty sure these are all coming from the same person and I'm pretty sure I know who#not to freak you out just#its a tell haha#its ok to just ask me things I promise#I enjoy talking about my work#I'm happy to get the questions

mdzs extras are so funny because you have most of them dedicated to wangxian's cute post-marriage dates, fun night-hunting adventures or weird wholesome kink exploration, and then squeezed between those chapters you have jin guangyao and xue yang commiting crimes against humanity
#mdzs#i can understand the shock of people who go from svsss extras to mdzs extras#because svsss dedicates so many of them to exploring more of the world and the secondary characters and backstories and untold scenes#while mdzs is like being waterboarded with even more wangxian#also jgy and xue yang are there turning people into living zombies#it's even FUNNIER that it comes right aftyer the incense burners LMAO#''you thought wangxian were freaky? get a load of these guys''#modao#lace speaks

A Shortened List of Simon Snow's Autistic Traits
because a full length list would be too long of a post.
1. His love of magic could easily be interpreted as a special interest
“No ones loves magic like I do,” (Carry On, page 9).
2. He is shown to have poor spatial awareness
“That’s when we hear the first scream. I stand up, knocking the table over and breaking the teapot more conclusively,” (Carry On, page 235).
“...before she starts treating me like a Great Dane who can’t help knocking things over with its tail… You’d have to be incorporeal not to knock anything over,” (Carry On, page 267).
3. He is always interpreting things literally
“‘Let hardship sharpen your blade, Simon.’ I thought he meant my actual blade… Eventually I figured out that he meant me,” (Carry On, page 9).
It even affects his magic: “And sometimes when [Simon] casts metaphors, they go viciously literal,” (Carry On, page 119).
4. He has his whole thing with lists to help him process things
“I keep a list—of all the things I miss most—and I’m not allowed to touch it in my head until I’m about an hour from Watford. Then I run through the list one by one. It’s sort of like easing yourself into cold water. But the opposite of that I suppose—easing yourself into something really good, so the shock of it doesn’t overwhelm you. / I started making my list, my good things list, when I was 11, and I should probably cross a few things off, but that’s harder than you’d think,” (Carry On, page 11).
^ Not only is the list thing autistic, struggling to take things off because he's grown used to the list as it is is autistic.
5. He has difficulty with verbal communication
“Half of Snow’s sentences are shrugs,” (Carry On, page 354).
“I’ve never been good with words,” (Carry On, page 107). They mention this like a million times.
This is the bit that really convinces me: "I don’t remember when I learned to talk, but I know they tried to send me to specialists… I used to see a counselor and a speech therapist. ‘Use your words, Simon.’ I got so bloody sick of hearing that. It was so much easier to just take what I wanted instead of asking for it. Or thump whoever was hurting me, even if they thumped me right back," (Carry On, page 108).
“Simon seemed conscious, but wasn’t saying anything. And he wouldn’t make eye contact,” (Carry On, page 427). The eye contact thing in here is also pretty autistic.
6. He does a lot of stimming
“Simon groans and rakes at his hair,” (Carry On, page 362). He messes with his hair a lot.
“Simon was pacing around my bedroom, swinging his blade,” (Carry On, page 454).
“I intentionally slam my shoulder into the wall next to the door. (People who tell you that slamming and bashing into things won’t make you feel better haven’t slammed or bashed enough),” (Carry On, page 274). This one especially stands out to me.
Again, just a short list. There are plenty more quotes for these traits, and other autistic traits that Simon has.
#and that's not even getting into the ways in which a lot of the aspects of his story can be clearly read#as being metaphors for autistic traits#yeah magically exploding isn't an autistic trait but it could very easily be a stand in for autistic meltdowns#a lot of the build up/causes/aftermath is the same#and the mage wanting to fix him and that desire ultimately harming simon far more than it helps#that's something loads of autistic people deal with from their parents#not for magic purposes#but the metaphor is there#etc etc etc#like it gets to a point where it feels weird calling this a headcanon because its SO present#simon snow#carry on#simon says#co/ws/awtwb#the simon snow trilogy#simon hc#there's also plenty of stuff from the sequels i just haven't documented them the same way i have carry on

Fuck I hate being an adult. I need a more adult adult to help with the volatile emotional situation.
#I've sort of made a new friend? Like we met at the same art group and he's also trans which was like pleasantly surprising in our small town#but like. We have Differences Of Opinion#and it's not totally his fault because it sounds like he's had a Lot of bad shit in his past that's obviously made him wary and closed off#but like. He's slightly older than me (only 4 years) and keeps blaming a load of his problems on other trans folks?#like you know the type. The like 'all these nonbinary/other identities the kids are doing are complicating shit'#the 'it hurts to see people younger than me inc. kids get hormones thrown at them when I still can't get 'em' (which... yeah not even true)#and he's told me himself he doesn't engage much with the queer community bc it's too 'toxic'#and like. I can absolutely understand why he could've had some bad experiences esp. since he has some mental health shit going on#but he wants to be friends bc he doesn't know anyone else going through the medical shit and it's like. Yeah no shit you don't?#you decided the community you'd find them in is toxic? and that people in them are doing being trans wrong?#and I think if he was just some guy online I'd like roll my eyes and ignore him#but he's a real person in my vicinity and I feel fucking bad for him#and I can see how much self loathing he has and how much that probably informs the bullshit#like he told me he thinks that trans men and cis men are fundamentally different categories and trans men will never be cis men#but not in a 'the experiences are just different and come with different perspectives way'#in like a self defeating way. Like a I just have to settle for being a trans man way.#and it made me SO SAD#like bro#I'm so sorry for whoever the fuck made you feel like you're fighting an unwinnable battle#and I want to be a friend to him. I want him to feel like there's other queer people out there and there's friends and hope#but also I genuinely could see him being the kind of person who would get really angry at you for no fault of your own#like I already get the distinct feeling he resents me a little#like obviously not too much since he still wants to hang#but he's been trying and failing to get HRT for years and I got it super quickly basically by sheer luck/a doctor who looks out for me#like I'm so fucking lucky. And I just genuinely feel like he's the kind of person who might take that personally.#I just do not think I have the fucking. Emotional tool kit to salvage this shit#But I also can't exactly text him and say sorry I don't think we should hang out so. What do.#.....I wasn't even LOOKING for a new friend! I have enough friends!!! I wanted to make clay faces and look at pretty buildings dammit!!!#now I have to be the emotionally mature one who goes hmmm maybe let's not blame other depressed trans kids for our problems buddy#I'm just gonna have to be like. Upfront about my stance and if he doesn't like it well he doesn't have to hang out with me

Sooo I’m watching an entire facebook group full of trump and cop dick suckers lose their entire minds right now.
Everyone in my very red area just went from “blue lives matter” circle jerking to “maybe we should not have given the local police 7 billion dollars” veeeery quickly when it came out that one of them just straight up killed a guy everyone liked and almost got away with it. 🤔 Wild how fast the opinion changes when it’s them murdering a likable white guy who didn’t qualify for the “oh he’s just a druggie” apathy special. It sure feels like something.
#to be fair I hate everyone around here with my entire heart and soul#but it’s funny to see them all turn on one another and the cops#for once#ACAB#tw: police#tw: police brutality#tw: murder#tw: trump#but also jfc#JESUS FUCKING CHRIST#they don’t care about anyone#cops in my state regularly murder people#they don’t usually pretend the guy just vanished and plant evidence etx#but still#no one ever cares#but this facebook group went from red hot cop fuckers to#wait this is bad maybe we shouldn’t have given them loads of money#anyway it’s even worse because they didn’t even tell the family they found him#the family had it confirmed by a fucking news article#tw: drugs#tw: ableism#bc this is the piss on poor site#I do not use the term ‘druggie’ or agree with that language#this is how THOSE people talk about it#it’s genuinly a direct quote from these fucking people#tw: racism

The emotional rollercoaster of this article:
An article in German about my game! I wonder if my German is good enough to understand it?
Huzzah, I CAN understand it! I guess all the hard work I've put in to improve my reading comprehension in German over the past few years is working out!
Then I get to the comments and...
Although there are some nice comments too, but oh dear-! At least one person is very grumpy about my art. And mildly misogynistic? That might just be me not picking up on the nuances of the language but they keep bringing my gender up and that feels weird.
(For the record if anyone wants to write about my name I'd prefer you use my penname 'Jabbage')
#gamersglobal#it's fine#i'm fine#the game looks precisely like i want it to look#even if i had loads of money to outsource it wouldn't look substantially different#this is the awful thing about being a one person show#you feel like you have to read the articles and promote your own work#but that also means you have to read people saying hurtful things about something really personal to you

just some ramblings on the rise of rebranded homophobia in relation to shipping and fandom etc (i watched lotr yesterday)
the way people will say "healthy friendships between men are important and we need representation!!!!" (this is true) in response to shipping as if there's an abundance of mlm relationships in media and yknow. homophobia hasn't existed??
“>:[ us men aren't allowed to be just friends anymore!!!! because of the homophobia!!!! that we created!!!!!!”
i've definitely seen this sentiment grow more again over the last few years as the number of canonical mlm relationships (often badly written or lacking any substance) increases.
before it was just a blatant "no homo" or something but it's now becoming a bit more subtle and "how dare you imply this character could be gay? do you hate men being friends?! go back to your handful of bland designated Gay Characters that we so generously gave you" from the same people who have spent years adding to the very same toxic masculinity and homophobia that stopped them from having deep and healthy friendships with other men in the first place. dare i say gaslighting?
(and just to be extra clear i am not talking about ace/aro people, or characters who are headcanoned as ace/aro, or qprs, etc. or even anyone interpreting a relationship as 'just' platonic. i'm only referring to that specific "no homo" kind of argument against shipping)
#this does apply to all queer identities and relationships btw#and also not just in fandom either this is the rhetoric irl too#but i am specifically thinking of lotr#you know. the book that is literally full of friendships between men.#and yet some people are sooo quick to jump down your throat if you even suggest that a character or relationship might be queer#i say platonic and romantic loosely for lack of better terms but i actually hate using them#(for me personally)#but that's another story#ok it's kind of the same story but i'm not going into it#(i am also not saying that there is no good canon queer representation now)#(there is. but for some reason we're pretending that's there's loads and loads when there's literally not)#(plus just because there may be some now doesn't magically make them appear in older media??)#anyway
