sometimes I think so much of "queer" discourse surrounds semantics and identity labels because people engaging in these spaces legitimately do not live life outside of the internet. I don't just mean they don't go outside or talk to real people, but the way they interact with real people is never truly free from the internet. I think this is just sort of how gen z are now unfortunately, so much of our lives are consumed by handheld devices and social media platforms, but I find it way more prevalent in artsy, liberal, tra-positive communities. (the amount of times I just hear people straight up quote popular tumblr posts or tiktok trends...)
and surrounding yourself in real life with people who frequent the same internet circles as you and thus hold the same beliefs is a great way to not end up experiencing anything actually real, and thus you never really learn anything from your life experiences or from other perspectives, much less experiences of relationships or sex or romance. leading to people caring way too much about words and perception with things like pronouns or microlabels or "validity." everything is about optics and holding the "correct" opinions because that's the state of the internet these days! of course they'd ignore the actual material aspects of oppression, what is the internet if not a breeding ground for consumerist distraction from dealing with the various staggering issues in society?
"touch grass" isn't even a good enough solution anymore. can you partake in any hobby without thinking of how other people would percieve it? can you have a conversation without parroting the words of a tiktok post? can you seek love and relationships without obscuring it in layers of branding? can you understand yourself, truly understand who you are, without obsessing over how it looks on a screen?
#we really went from a “the internet is a helpful tool that can enrich our lives” to “we should make real life more like the internet”#I struggle to write these in fear of coming off too much like “phone bad” since that's not what I believe but people could take it that way#but I think it's genuinely really damaging to young people to not acknowledge and criticize the way the internet changes us#also as always consider this a vague towards ace/aro discourse because that's sort of what made me think of this the most#but idk I think the general conceit of the internet as a corrupting force irl towards community can be seen in a lot of spaces#discourse#gender critical#myo is rambling.#kind of a personal reminder for myself too lol

tma au where Jon works from home and basically gets a job similar to home safety hotline where he had to categorize the "calls" he's getting (basically statements), and giving said callers information one the entity hunting them.
But like. At first he only has 3 entities that he has information about and so that wildly screws his perspective (atleast until he gets clearance to learn more). So he totally thinks that Mr. spider was from the corruption or smth until around the end when he gets a infopacket on the web and has a panic attack on how many people he miscatagorized and told them something other than what the needed to hear and how he has walked into the webs trap and can't escape. And all the while due to his lack of information he's been accidentally sending people the wrong instructions which get them killed.
#There's a fifteenth fear.... black mold......#But yeah at first he knows 3 entities#The corruption; the dark; and the Slaughter#So he's just all kinds of confused.#tma au#tma podcast#the magnus archives#tma#jon tma#tma jonathan sims#tma jon#Idk i was watching a play through of home safety hotline and the end i thought about how it would fit Elias giving Jon the title of Archive#That name may change due to the different situation#But yeah I'm leaning heavily into the guilt part#Like. He thought he was helping#He thought he was doing good.#But nope. He told a victim of the hunt about the Slaughter and now they believe that if they run the Slaughter will give up and just kill#Someone else

one day this blog will inevitably return to the regular scheduled mostly-fandom-with-only-occasionally-politics blogging state that i intend it to be and enjoy more, but, man. even if i return to blogging like normal, i will not be doing it as the same person i used to be because after all this i myself am just not the person i used to be.
#i dont think i ever felt the kind of fear that i felt on the morning of october 7th or at least i dont remember if i did#or the fear i felt for.... most of the early days when it was sirens multiple times a day#but also everything that happened afterwards. idk#i am a changed human in a way only captured through metaphor and allegory by the 2018 film annihilation#youre just not the same after feeling that kind of emotion#טאג פוליטי לפוליטיקה

the latest 666 update has been haunting me all morning lmao
#literally started making a mind map of my thoughts in class#eurgh I’m so busy today but I will try to organize my ideas at some point#prince you never fail to make me realize things I didn’t even know were there to be realized lmao#this specific angst is so disturbing and delicious to me and I can’t tell if I feel sick or excited#it also changed my perspective on this alastor and vox a lot?#idk I read it in the middle of the night so maybe I’m grossly misinterpreting#but alastor seemingly knowing that he wants to make vox happy#but not having the typical instincts for how to get there (and thus doing things that range anywhere from slightly strange to#absolutely horrific)#is kind of everything to me#ough and the fear of being disgusting to your partner from vox#digging his nails into the wound by testing whether alastor was okay with what they did#AUGH they’re both just so perfectly broken#hazbin hotel#velvetrambles

tfw you're so used to the body you're in feeling foreign that you might look in the mirror one day and not even recognize your real self looking back
#that self actualization hitting different#fucked up late night ramblings#there is so much trepidation with hrt that they dont really talk about#im scared that this will change me into something im not#and yet i want to continue#deep down i know i want to keep going#even if things will change#even if things will get a little weird#i caught a glimpse of another version of myself#fuller and happier than before#i have never felt more in control of myself than i have at this moment#but with that control comes a lot of fear that im steering the wrong way#the decision to continue this will be my own and i will make it every day#im extremely scared#but i think this time it's in a good way#there's not as much of that existential dread that i felt when i went through puberty the first time#there's not as much of that feeling of irreversibility#in fact those feelings are barely there at all#idk it's just kind of weird. i feel weird

me laughing at the same jokes i’ve heard 1000 times every time i listen to/watch a recording of phantom
#and i swear it gets funnier every time!#was dying while listening to an audio today#(it was specifically nehal joshi during the il muto ballet)#(i could not stop laughing and i couldn’t even SEE him it was just his delivery)#(ugh he’s so funny i love him)#poto shitpost#also side note im about to go on a tangent#but my phantom hyperfixation runs so deep and i have so many thoughts about it#i have at least 100 posts in my drafts about it and i’m not exaggerating#they’re mostly silly memes but it’s still like an overload of posts about phantom#and i’m like. insecure about how much i think about it???? and how much of my headspace i dedicate to it????#so i keep the bulk of the memes/random posts in my drafts because i just feel weird about posting so much#i really could post about it 24/7 if i didn’t have to be a Person with Tasks#and idk i think im just hyper-aware of how i present my interests in daily life while offline#i am someone who hyperfixates and obsesses and while i could talk about phantom for years i am terrified of annoying people with my interest#i’m worried about being perceived as weird so i kind of flatten myself to make myself more palatable for others#which has me being insecure about the things i’m passionate about and how deep that passion runs#and these feelings have bled online to the specific space i have created as an outlet for my passion#like it’s my blog i shouldn’t be censoring my love for a thing that brings me joy#but my fear of being othered is like. overtaking me. because there are many things that i can’t change about myself#that categorize me as an ‘other’ (sexuality identity mental health etc)#and this is something i can control. i can control how i portray my personality#so i flatten my personality to compensate for the other (perceived) weird things that can’t be changed#idk i just shouldn’t feel the need to do that here bc pretty much everyone on here is super passionate about something#like obsessive about it#and that’s what i love about this site with all its faults. like this is a space for people to come and Be Weird and Act Strange#and everyone just accepts it#and also the phantom community in general#why should i water down my love for phantom in the one place where people can understand it and relate to it???#hit the tag limit but i’ve come to multiple revelations while typing this lmao

i’ve been having a hard time realizing and grieving my naivety/lack of intuition, especially relating to autism and ocd. there’s smth so helpless in feeling like you can’t trust yourself. but i think i’m starting to reach a point of balance. ik i don’t have the best judgment, but maybe my intuition can be the kindness i judged as naivety
i just couldn’t accept the idea that kindness (as far as i understood it at least) could have led me into harm’s way, especially bc protecting myself feels so “cruel,” so maybe that’s not the narrative i have to accept. sometimes i feel like i’m slipping into old habits when i catch myself giving someone a second chance, or the benefit of the doubt, but it’s not the same now as it was before. kindness never led me into harm’s way, it was my lack of trust in myself. i don’t need to dial in my kindness, i just need to strengthen my trust. i need to practice informed kindness
#this sounds so obvious writing it out and i’m sure it’s smth most ppl innately understand#but i have a huge fear of becoming jaded and i thought self-improvement meant i would lose a part of myself#i only recently found out that other ppl have to choose to care. did everyone else know this. did you guys know that caring is a choice#learning this has explained. SO MUCH. abt the way ppl have treated and interacted w me#so i’ve had to force myself to care less abt things this yr and let me tell you it’s been a hellish learning curve lmao#i think for the best tho. i think being more discerning is helping me strengthen my self-trust#i don’t think anyone in my life can tell that anything’s changed either so that’s good. it means i haven’t lost anything#just gaining#danbles#autisms#ocd#edit: i don’t want to conflate caring w kindness btw that’s not what i meant#idk how to explain it actually writing this out made me tired. kindness comes from caring but caring can be cruel too#which is why i want to care less to be able to keep being kind#or smth like that. idk it’s 3am gn

a bit grateful people are receptive to the whole. pregnancy thing because ive had the horror aspect of it itching around in my brain for so long. months. maybe a year.
#someone once told me theres horror in the concept of pregnancy. that an entity is forming inside of a person and transforming and changing#their body to suit its needs to grow. its not quite foreign. its horrifying because its a Part of you physically and tethered to you.#it makes the person more vulnerable physically and emotionally. it kind of alters behavior as well. and dont get me started on the social#aspect of it. how peoples perception of you change#id have more to say on the social aspect but i fear id get it wrong. but i think for some people see the unborn before the person.#idk.#.txt#i ponder my orb#some switch in my brain flipped wrong and decided 'thats scary. hot'

turns out how not to be deficient in fat in your diet is to stop eating only low fat versions of foods
#i was scared of being hungry unfortunately and didnt want to change my diet to more calorie dense stuff out of fear of like hunger related#mood swings which i get badly now which i didnt used to which is awesome i totally love feeling like a half starved half mad dog if my lunc#is like half an hour late#i will not eat like regular ice cream but y'know. cheeses. yogurt thats abt it i eat the same 9 ingredients in rotation#apples cauliflower cottage cheese cabbage sardines carrots broccoli tomatoes uhhhh monster energy drinks#i mean other stuff too sometimes but those r the staples#if i could go raw vegan without dying i probably would just bcs its easier#that list is kind of pathetic and depressing but idk man what's a guy to do#i do worry about it not being varied enough and missing micronutrients and stuff but like yknow ive always been a very unadventurous eater#eating the same things day in day out years on end and ive always been like fine lol it's just a less heavy carb selection these days which#like im pretty sure all that you need xyz amount of grains a day is a total psyop by the corn and wheat us subsidies i don't think you need#that shit just like how you dont need milk.

ok i might need to force myself to not romance astarion bc i don't want to know what it says about me to turn down karlach, the woman of my dreams, the character made to cater me personally, like, if she was real i'd bring the moon and stars down for the chance to see her smile, she's everything i've hoped for in a rpg companion, what does it say about me if i turn that down for someone like astarion
#ngl karlach would be too good for me and i wouldnt deserve it#shed probably ask me stuff like 'what do you want?' upon which i would be paralyzed with fear my mind completely blank unable#to process why i can't answer a simple question#and she's so up front with her emotions which i absolutely adore but i could not reciprocate that#wait am i actually for real avoiding the karlach romance bc i feel like this fictional character from a video game is too good for me#a real human being. like. i think i would feel guilty about romancing her#which makes no sense bc i romance characters too good for anyone all of the time. but idk#in those cases ive always had like a strong character i play as who is very divorced from who i am#but playing as durge there is no past so idk who my tav is yet so all i can do is project so he feels very. personal#im v sleepy and also ive had brain fog all day so yea idk#i mean i do genuinely like astarion and his character but in his case i dont feel guilty bc i feel like i#i have no idea how to finish that sentence without it sounding like 'i can fix him'#bc i dont want to fix him i want to show him compassion and respect him and his boundaries so he'll be able to reclaim tje feeling of#being in control of his life#so he'll stop putting people down to feel like hes on a pedestal#like i get him and why he is like that but i just feel like being kind and caring towards him would feel so good#it wouldnt fix him and thats a good thing bc i dont want him to change who he is but i do think he needs support#also hes hot im so mad at myself for being so atteacted to him#we wouldnt b here if i didnt have a thing for voices#besides thag back to the main point of astarion its like. ugh! im so frustrated rn bc i dont have the words#to express my emotions toward him bc everything ive said lacks the nuance that im feelikg but idk how to put it in words#i guess i want to protect him? that such a terrible sentence and still not what om going for

There is your favourite song, there is your go-to song when you're sad, there is your childhood nostalgia song, and then there is That One Song you heard once when you were five years old and then never again and it ripped straight through your soul, rewired your brain, got absorbed into your DNA and changed something fundamental about you as a person. It has been fifteen years since you heard it and you can still recall the memory almost perfectly. It's not present in any of your playlists because it is simply Too Powerful. That song is your personal patron god
#it's sleeping sun by nightwish for me#heard it once in my father's car when we drove late at night back when I was like five and it Changed me#idk there's just something the song did that influenced so many things about me as a person#the pull of the night sky and the never ceasing desire for flight and just the way my soul moves. I attribute all that to that song#only thought about searching for it a year or two ago. when I last heard it I did not speak a single word in english nor knew the title#I just knew it was by nightwish#took me like two hours to find the song#I almost never listen to it except very rare occasions when the Mood is Right. I dunno why it's kinda like#it feels like a kind of personal treasure one keeps in an ornate box somewhere deep out of reverence and fear that it withers#idk#it's a very particular feeling#I don't even listen to nightwish#but this one is My song

I think there were some serious growing pains when katniss and peeta were starting to "grow close" again.
#NOT TAGGING THIS but yeah this would be maybe a few months post?#when katniss and peeta are just starting to be friends again#while peeta is still kind of adjusting to the new person he is and coming to terms with what he's done in that process#which ends up making him come across as a little bitter? but i dont think he means to be. weird situation obviously.#and i think it's particularly hard for katniss considering she's someone who gets so much comfort from physical contact#and for the person from whom she got so much comfort to have snuck up on her and tried to kill her. twice.#because theres no denying that THAT person is closer to who peeta is now than who he was before being tortured in the capitol#so it takes a long time for her to not fear his touch. i think. and i think although he knows better#peeta's still kind of burned by it. like he understands it but it still hurts kind of thing#... IDK sorry i have a lot of thoughts about how their dynamic would have to fundamentally change post-mj#and its kind of weird how that's glossed over i mean its not plot relevant i guess but if theyre....#WHATEVER anyway yeah.#id like to do smth more with this idea of them adjusting to their new relationship so this is rly just a draft :)#sorry can you tell i could talk about peeniss for hours??? can you tell????????#ive really gotta practice drawing burn scars also because at this point theyd both have pretty angry burn scars on their faces and hands#i also think im rambling a lot here bc i dont want ppl to get the wrong idea or anything bc i hold both of them so close to my heart#same kind of thing as mommy katniss i guess i udnerstand it doesnt portray them in the best light but at the same time i really do think.#realistically they just wouldnt.... be well adjusted? sorry. anwyay. diddle out.

#skunk mail#Anonymous#idkkkk like. i also know the only way she'll take form is by drawing her#like how talon has already changed quite a bit since 2 yrs ago#but idk. i dont have as tangible of a look for her in my head. i need to observe more ppl.#but its also kind of like how i still struggle to draw al after 10 yrs bc there's a lack of irl ref OR stylized ref to use for him#bc the idea is too specific (tho thats the opposite of my problem wit her)#i may try again soon...#i fear ive got sameface brain rn bc the whole head/face shape i keep giving her is similar to als#i dont want another Square (al) or Long Face (talon)#ykwim. i love faces that arent like mine too much but i cant keep doing em and im not invested enough rn to Push a Brand New#Unique Face

Had a dream I was watching or playing a vampire game (was in the style of minecraft tho) and for some reason steven universe future was there in his own art style
#the plot details i remember were that#there were two vampires with their own territories - one had a hotel/mansion and the other lived in a tent on a hill#and they were both trying to kill each other#it was like different endings. one ending had the mansion guy being killed on the hill#and the other had the tent guy being killed (not sure where)#idk why i just. remember a scene that was actually kind of chilling where the tent vampire was like 'alright im gonna have to kill him'#and it cut to steven universe (future) who was super tired and smiling with bags under his eyes like 'great thats just great!'#like he was real sick of it all#now that i think about it the implications of his involvement are so funny#was he trying to help them solve their differences? did he get roped into the whole situation?#was he trying to Make A Change for the good of the people who lived in fear around them?#thats for you to decide i guess#i just know by the end that he was pretty sick of it#steven universe#steven universe (show)#steven universe future#my dreams are getting funny man im very happy about this#mettys posts#metty posts#trying to decide whether it was a horror game or not#like it was def creepy#it had a creepy vibe#steven was not part of the creepy vibe tho he was just his own character

On that note, what were your thoughts on Coraline? Specially on that scene where the beldam counts down from 3 as she transforms into her true form.
Because to me, it made me realize that I love horror movies and their concepts, and what I didn't like of other specific transformation scenes was that they were... too real to me? Like they made me think about "if people could really be turned into animals how horrible would it be to leave every single thing you know about life behind and never get to do the human things you like and nobody knowing that something unnatural happened to you, they'd just see a weird dog or cow or chicken" and that was too terrifying of a thought to me
that specific scene didn’t really bother me the same way! i thought it was scary, sure, but that’s just because the beldam looks scary. a monster turning into a monster because they’ve always been one didn’t make me queasy the way other stuff did. she’s choosing to change shapes, no one else is making her, and it’s one she seems to like!
like you said, a part of it for me was being so upset at the idea of losing your original life and not being able to go back, being separated from people or just not being recognized at all. i really didn’t like the idea that it might be painful, or embarrassing, or that you could have absolutely no control over what was happening. the loss of control was HUGE for me.
in a weird way that’s probably what drew little kid me to werewolves though. because they do have to go through all of that, but in the end they can change back. and they don’t have to be alone because of it, you know, wolves are such social animals, it doesn’t have to be completely isolating. and also wolves are just fucking cool!!! so it was a way to explore all of that discomfort without it being so horribly overwhelming. it was cathartic!
and now i’m just Like This. so. haha. oops?
#if i can psychoanalyze for a minute—#i think part of it might have had to do with being a little trans kid. because as soon as i could conceptualize gender#i kind of knew that mine wasn’t right#the way people saw me and the way i looked wasn’t quite right#and as soon as i found out my body was going to *change?* that i was going to have to go through something uncomfortable and embarrassing#just to end up looking even more like i *didn’t want to look*#i completely freaked out#not that puberty is the same as getting turned into a fucking rat or whatever#but when you’re six it kind of seems like it might as well be#which is probably why i kept looking for media that had shapeshifters in it!#i was trying to figure out why i felt that way and how to process it#and eventually instead of just being scared i wound up really obsessed with the idea#because if you could change shape at will? that was comforting. but even if you couldn’t that was cathartic#idk i’m just fucking rambling now haha#and probably totally overthinking it#i don’t think that’s the ONLY reason i was scared there were definitely others#like. it *is* also just scary because it’s body horror and that is always scary#and i became so fixated because i was *also* just exploring what fear felt like and where my limits were#but i think that had to be at least a little part of it#sorry okay really i’ll stop now
