the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

Hey. Hey. You. Person with breasts who's considering mastectomy and feeling anxious that they'll regret it after. Consider the following:

- No longer having to accomodate your chest when wearing clothes

- Being able to publicly go topless (ex. for swimming)

- Don't have to worry about bras and other supports

- Back pain from a large chest? Who's that?

- Laying on your stomach just got easier

- Less worry about potential breast cancer, especially if you may be at risk (if you are, talk to a doctor about it, prophylactic mastectomy is awesome and reduces the chance of cancer way more than FTM top surgery)

- You could get rid of your nipples, if you wanted

- And you could just get them tattooed on... or have a blank slate for whatever art you wanted instead

- Being able to move around (running, going up/down stairs, etc) without feeling any jiggle

- And if you wanted the appearance of breasts? You can wear fake boobs as long as you want, and be able to take them on & off whenever you want. And they can be any size, too. It's a much safer option, as opposed to binding.

If you really want it, why are you hesitating? Be happier built in your own image, instead of the one other people want to paint on you.

here's to all the little sacrifices we have to make as disabled people.

here's to skipping a friend's party because you were in too much pain, or because you had no energy.

here's to dropping out of clubs because they became too much for you.

here's to all the times we've said "no it's okay, you guys go ahead, i'll hang back here."

here's to all the things we've held ourselves back from just in case they hurt us.

here's to moving seats in class away from your friends because your back was getting a draft and the cold hurts you.

here's to us. here's to letting ourselves heal. here's to being cautious, being safe.

here's to the things we can do. the things we're allowed to do. here's to enjoying those things, enjoying our lives.

here's to making the most of being us.

I've seen a lot of people writing Danny as a space ancient and Dan and Dani as ghosts with moon and sun cores, being sort of parts, versions of Danny and therefore weaker. Now, consider: Dan and Dani are both powerful ghosts with really cool cores and stuff but Danny is just some guy™

Dan, who came from an alternate timeline and is kind of from the future but also not, is Clockwork's apprentice and will eventually become an ancient of time. He probably only agreed to have some lessons with Clockwork to understand better what happened to him, but he enjoys his apprenticeship now.

Dani, with her love of travelling, loves seeing all the different places the world offers to her, and that includes space and different planets and maybe even parallel universes, and she accidentally ends up being an apprentice of the space ancient. For now she's probably a baby ancient of freedom or something like that, but she might become an ancient of space in the future.

We can also have something like Dan having a core of destruction or Dani being the Speed Force if you want it to be dcxdp, or any headcanon of yours about their cool powers.

And then there's Danny. And yeah, everyone knows that he's super powerful, but also he's just some guy.

It can go different routes. Does everyone know that Danny is just Danny? Or do they think that with siblings (well, technically a clone and an alternate version, but whatever) so powerful, he must be even stronger? Is Danny actually something terrifyingly eldritch and ancient and strong, almost a god, but he just doesn't know himself? Or is he just really some guy?

Now, because it's obvious that I have a dcxdp brainrot, have a regular "JL summons/meets a powerful ghost" but its Dan and Dani, and they keep mentioning their original/brother who won a fight against them at some point. The JL is very concerned about Dan and Dani's godlike powers, and they can't imagine what Danny is like. And then they meet him (in his human form), and it's just a young adult in casual clothes, very friendly and helpful, with no evident powers. Imagine the confusion. Imagine Dan and Dani, radiating power, in their eldritch ghost forms, admitting that fighting Danny for real is the dumbest thing to do and not even they would succeed... And then there's Danny is jeans and silly t-shirt, waving shyly.

Hi there, hello I did a thing for this fun idea!

Danny wasn’t exactly sure why Clockwork told him that it was customary to host a party once in a while, but he got the feeling it was because ghosts were bored all the time and never really had a reason to eat food in the human world anyway. Not many of them had to eat anymore, so it made sense that the king should probably give them some entertainment and food that actually tasted like something (because human food didn’t taste like anything or was any good to most ghosts).

Pariah only allowed certain ghosts at his balls: people who died more than ten years ago, those who’d never been in Walker’s jail for more than 1,000 years (or currently had a warrant), and absolutely no liminals (‘impure’ ghosts, he called them). 

Yeah, well, Danny thought that was stupid. 

The ghost king himself had a warrant. Walker never did rescind that after he became king. The wanted posters are still up in some places.

So, Pariah had some stupid rules and was super stingy. Well, Danny says hell no. He didn’t really believe in ‘pure’ and ‘impure’ ghosts or that you had to be dead for a certain number of years before you could be accepted as dead. 

His Ghost Zone-wide notice was simple: “Come to the King Phantom’s Keep for dancing and food. All who’ve died, regardless of how long they’ve been dead or if they’re currently alive, are welcome at the party. Liminals are included, regardless of their level. King Phantom welcomes all equally.”

Everyone, from Dora, dead since the Middle Ages, to the guy who’d had a heart attack and been legally dead for three seconds (but was still walking around alive right now), were welcome. Liminals included also meant Sam, Tucker, and Jazz were in the crowd. Sam and Tucker were exposed to the Ghost Zone’s radiation during his accident, and Jazz had lived in the same house as a powerful ghost for years now.

So the party is happening, and there are a lot of fresh faces. A lot of ghosts who’ve been dead for many years, sure, but a lot of people who would pass as totally human. 

Some average-looking guy, nothing special about him other than the white stripe in his hair, had taken pretty well to Johnny when he heard about a motorcycle that could fly and shoot green lasers.

On the other end of the spectrum, there were two actual skeletons—one in a blue hoodie, gym shorts, and bunny slippers; the other in an odd white outfit and a red cape that was somehow always flowing gracefully behind him—talking with a little kid with a ball cap with a blue tree on it furiously scribbling into a notebook at the taller skeletons’ endless chattering about inns and waterfalls and the captain of some royal guard.

The one with a British accent who had bowed and addressed Danny a little too stiffly and cautiously, who was grumbling still about the king’s ‘no smoking’ rules, had accidentally gotten into a talk with an actually purple guy who was barely alive. He looked torn between wanting to ask just how the hell he was still alive (taboo), his impulse to exorcise him on the spot (banned in the Keep), and just giving up and getting out of the boring conversation about animatronics.

The only one who had stuck around after greeting Danny—and who had stuck around even after everyone had settled in their conversations, the concert hall, the food stands and tables, or the stage play happening two rooms down—a man who simply introduced himself as ‘John’ and honestly didn’t know why he was invited despite his many tales of blackout drinking and near-death experiences that he only knew about from the people who’d been there to see his drunk escapades—had kept Danny laughing the whole night with his wild stories.

The cleanup was sure to be a mess—the char-covered, fire-obsessed little girl with a teddy bear and a lighter, the two shaggy men discreetly pouring salt around the room, and the pharmacist currently building an ‘inator’ with an unknown purpose and a pointless self-destruct button—made sure of that.

But, hey, at least everyone could agree it was the best party any king had ever thrown!

I remember this one fic I read... it was a Ghost King Danny au witch explored the idea of a royal ball.... in which every ghost/liminal of certain criteria were invited... regardless of just how liminal they were...

So, like, everyone from the ghost of a medieval peasant to any human joe who was legally dead for two seconds.

Just. the crossover potential! it's so good that the original fic was a dpxdc crossover!

Maybe I'm just excited because I get to rant about Everything Everywhere All The Time again, but by throwing in the fannon that the ghost zone also connects different dimensions?.... c'mon you know where I'm going with this.

Jason Todd, Hat Kid, the Don't Starve Survivors, literally any fictional character that was anything close to dead? Dipper falls under that. If we wanna be really loose with it, could every Undertale character end up in the Keep by these rules?

Just. Just Think. William Afton? Minecraft Steve? The Medic? Sam and/or Max? The Ride The Cyclone kids? C'mon.

Happy pride from Adam and Steve, my t4t gay vampire and werewolf!!!

They're from my webcomic. It's good. I'm not biased. It's funny and gentle and they time travel to a new location every full moon, where there's a new little mystery to solve!

eleven is fascinating to me because he came right off the back of tens horrible traumatic breakdown after he lost everything and he immediately tried to establish himself as the opposite of that. he is funny and goofy and almost childlike, and he bulldozes on in his adventures with amy like nothing happened at all. but then something happens and his masks slips and it's like oh! the core of this man is still anger. he is so so angry all of the time and this façade is the only thing stopping him from being consumed by it. he isn't over any of it and he hasn't moved on. he is wearing a fez and laughing but under that all that exists is age old anger and grief and it is going to consume him

I actually think Dorian and Orym should fight more.

Remember when their slowly building tension over and entire episode (full of passive aggressive remarks and blame throwing) led to threats? And how after, Orym thanked Dorian for handing over the crown sadly because he knew Dorian would be mad at him? And Dorian couldn't even look at him because he was legitimately hurt, thinking Orym was disappointed in him for doing what he thought was right? That was peak.

The fact they went from that to their current closeness and trust is the best part of their entire dynamic. Their relationship was hard fought and still will be. They will fight for it because they respect and care for one another deeply, and their disagreements don't change that, only improve it.

[naamahdarling]

You know what? You know what I think?

I think that if we lived as we were meant to, in larger intimate ("extended family") groups and with more shared labor and time to do it (UBI NOW) people like me would not feel so useless and burdensome because there would be people around to help and to do what neurodivergent people can't while making valuable space for the neurodivergent to do what they ARE good at.

The way we live right now, all right, the way we live right now forces units of two adults to be able to do EVERYTHING or PAY to have someone come do it for them. I have to do the housework. I have to do it! But I am having to do a million different things and most of them I am not good at. I suck at them.

I wouldn't feel like shit, okay, if I had more than one other person around who was not a child and who could do the things I can't, like do the yard and cook and do repairs and basic maintenance; and someone else to split everything else that I like but is too much for me. It would free me to do what I am good at and enjoy. Cleaning, as in the sink and toilet, the windows, the blinds. Taking out trash. Folding, hanging, and sorting laundry.

But because all the shit I can do often relies on other shit being done first, and I can't do or have trouble doing those things, the shit I can do often can't be done. And even the shit I can do, I can't do ALL of it. So I can't keep up, and things get very bad.

We aren't meant to live like this. We are not meant to live like this.

That thought hurts so much because being able to flee the birth family is integral to survival for so many people. I'm so afraid that living in larger family groups would create more opportunities for, say, queer kids to be isolated, rejected, bullied, and abused. But if we gave people enough money to survive, and stopped considering children the property of their parents with no system in place to help them escape bad situations except a system that is often just as bad, just different.

I'm aware that communes and collectives aren't all that successful and are kind of a joke. I don't mean that. I mean a fundamental shift to multigenerational families where taking in "strays" (which my family did) is also normalized so people escaping abuse into existing households was accepted, with these families centered in maybe a couple of different larger residences so not everyone has to buy and maintain their own fucking washing machine and vacuum cleaner, and so people can benefit from large group meals that yield leftovers, and so child and elder care can also be centralized.

Then disabled people and the neurodivergent and sick and injured people, and pregnant people, and grieving people, would not have to either labor through all those stressors or consign themselves to living off an unlivable pittance or being put under legal guardianship.

I'm not saying anything new. People live like this in other parts of the world and maybe it sucks and I am wrong. But I'm just really mad right now because I can either do laundry or clean the sink but not both, and I really think we could improve society somewhat by making it so I did not have to choose one without sacrificing the other.

Huzzah! It's birthday time! I'm slowly accumulating more and more things I like (latest additions this vest I made and a travel typewriter! Still need to fix the latter one though)

Sure has been a year.

started playing fallen london cause of your blog and i absolutely love it! Thank u :)

Excellent!!! If I have any power, let it be used to get people to play fallen london and its related games (sunless seas, sunless skies = Survival exploration, mask of the rose = visual novel)

[inchidentally]

obv there was a lot that was just adorable about the latest McLaren reel - but I'm horrible and well

I found plenty of domscar :)

Oscar's hands may be small but Lando's waist is teeny tiny for a reason !

Oscar watching Lando's face during the first drop and making Lando so flustered he misses it (we've seen Lando with the lights game no way are his reflexes this bad)

no fr the blushy little smile Lando is struggling to hold in during that

the fact that they switched to the easier method of having Lando's hands either side of Oscar's rather than on top bc Lando was too rattled by the camera to catch it otherwise ;__; and then "that's enough" when his honor was finally restored alsgsaljgflsafg

Lando overJOYED at Oscar fumbling his very first catch oh my god he felt so vindicated and Oscar just laughing at himself

Oscar finally nailing his catch followed by staring at Lando's face while PUSHING the ball into Lando's fingers rather than just turning his hand over and giving it to him like a normal person ??? Lando going 'uh huh' all approvingly ??? the fangers ??

Oscar actually struggling more with the side by side so conveniently decides to return to barebacking their hands

oh Oscar absolutely bodying that last catch, Lando licking his lips while Oscar murmurs 'smooth' at him and then cockily chucking the ball at the camera holy FUCK somebody check Lando's basement for flood insurance

the fingers in this !! the fangers !!

I'm thinking abt that pretty fall leaves embroidery pattern post and about how like... it is categorically a repost, it's a reupload. right? a thing that is generally disliked. but because it's credited, it's genuinely boosting the artist in question. and it could ALWAYS be like this. reposting content could ALWAYS be a symbiotic relationship, but because sourcing back to the original creator of something is so uncommon, it's just easier to ask people not to repost it at all. and people still don't understand the difference. or they'll go to the effort of cropping out usernames/signatures to repost something, which is More Effort than literally crediting the creator of something you liked enough to want to repost. Like. I literally don't actually care if my own shit gets reposted, you have to understand. I just don't want it STOLEN. But "do not repost" is easier to write on my art than "you can repost this, but don't alter the image/remove my signature, don't you dare write 'credit goes to the artist' because that is not credit, please link back to my original post or someplace that you can actually find me. please use an actual link/url instead of writing a non-clickable link of my username, because making it text instead of a clickable link cuts the number of people who will go to the effort of visiting my own page in Half." All those aggregate themed accounts, those fuckin annoying as hell instagrams and facebook groups that are like "body positive art we love wamen 💕 hashtag feminism" and then MASS-STEAL plus sized art created by women, if pages like these that always go and steal my older self-portraits and other works... If they just put a link to my prints of those pieces in the text of those posts, or, fuck, my commission info page? I would literally be living on the moon right now. I would have a house on the moon
