[typecastwritesssss]

okay but like the wind waker man. that intro. so many questions. we all know ocarina is dark but man wind waker just straight up said "and then they all drowned and the gods never came to help" hello??? how many years. how many decades. how much time did the adult hero of time buy for them? which child of zelda’s was daphnes? her son? grandchild? great-grandchild? when he stared at the rising waters and realized nothing was going to save them, his kingdom, did he think it was retribution for all the war? 

has it really been all that long? yes and also no. the lines are so blurred. the zora are birds and the kokiri are koroks and they had time to Get That Way but everywhere you look the old Hyrule, the Hero of Time himself, they're both all over the place. the deku tree is implied to be the sprout from the adult timeline but honestly who knows. the golden goddesses are statues on islands somewhere and there was a tower built to test who came after but…who and how and why? what was the tower of the gods even for? how did they know they’d need it? at what point did they accept the hero of time was never coming back so they’d probably need to train a new one? 

and oh my god, that outset island tradition. “dress your kids in green and give ‘em a sword and pray to the gods they’ll have the courage to cast down evil.” link rolls his eyes at it but he wears them to appease grandma. the revered clothes of the hero have had time to pass into “stupid traditional getup” territory. how many “failed Links” were there before Aryll’s brother? what evil could those children have possibly stricken down? the monsters in the woods?

“what became of that kingdom? none remain who know” like goddamn. say what you want about the hero’s shade in twilight princess. but at least the traumatized ghost got to meet one of his descendants and pass on his songs and his knowledge, even if that knowledge was only of war and death and combat. in the wind waker he’s a statue. an element of a legend mentioned once or twice by the last remaining holdouts of the past—holdouts who so badly want him to return, view him as the solution over all else, that they never pause to consider any other option. there are stained glass windows of the seven sages in the master sword’s chamber that are never mentioned. there is so much that is never mentioned.

nobody knows what the fuck anybody is talking about. link doesn’t know old hylian. tetra is running around the high seas (as a pirate. she and her retainers are now pirates. how did things get that way) with a piece of the damn triforce around her neck and she doesn’t know who ‘princess zelda’ even is. the juxtaposition between ganondorf, older and tired and wiser but still hell-bent on ruling hyrule even if it is a dead land full of nothing and no one, and tetra, a zelda that knows nothing, asking why he’s laughing and calling him insane. because hyrule’s dead. she has no frame of reference for his longing, or what he found so great about this sunken kingdom.

and this is framed as a good thing. the king of red lions thinks it’s better not to let either of the kids in on the loop until tetra nearly dies for lack of knowledge. daphnes nolhansen hyrule brought “the hero” back just to end ganon, and hyrule with him. was the plan always to let the sea fall in on him? maybe. i don’t know. but he rejects zelda’s plea with him to take him with them to the land that will be the new hyrule, because “it will not be hyrule. it will be your land” and that still gets me. he thinks the best thing to do with his kingdom, Hyrule, the kingdom of a whole hell of a lot of irl people’s childhoods, is for it to wash away. he wants the kids to live for the future and they do and they will and they name it hyrule anyway in his honor but he never gets to see it.

anyways i’m still mad everybody got butthurt over “trains in a zelda game” like come on now

[velvetvexations]

I'm being stalked by someone who screams that I can't stop talking about her despite her having it made it clear she wants "no contact" and then screenshots my blog to spread more lies about me in spite of the fact that I have her blocked and block evading is supposed to be one of my grievous sins

like literally the most I have talked about her recently was with a coded name that doesn't even reference her URL in response to her taking a screenshot of my post and calling me pro-American because memes are hilarious but IRL seriously I would have preferred 9/11 not have happened

I am still not using her URL or her fucking name while she goes around saying VELVET VEXATIONS SHOULD DRINK BLEACH BECAUSE SHE SAID DONALD TRUMP DOESN'T BELIEVE TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN NOW EXCUSE ME I SAW MY LEAST FAVORITE COLOR AND NEED TO COMPOSE A MELINCHOLY POEM TO PROCESS THE GRIEF IT'S CAUSED ME

every time a transradfem equates discussing how transphobes feel about us is the same as misgendering other trans people, that's fucking pathetic assuming it's a genuine belief and not just something to performatively break into tears over as intoxicatingly self-righteous justification for thinking only the people they fetishize should be allowed to exist

but apparently! this person has another stalker who sends her posts to other people! and that's really interesting to me, you know, because the only post of her's I've ever received from an anon was one in which she was talking about me! And when that person came off anon to say it was them that sent it, she took a screenshot of that admission but did not include me telling them off for stirring shit

too bad I decided to delete the admission due them using her name and can't prove I gave them that dressing down, clearly I shouldn't have fucking bothered since innocence itself is no protection

she seriously can't stop calling me a TERF while actual no-bullshit TERFs are openly calling on one another to email publishers trying to get me canceled for writing a fanfic where it's briefly mentioned a trans teenager wore her sister's clothes without asking, what the fuck does any transradfem know about TERFs when I'm dealing with actual TERFs and all they are to them is an abstract concept used to bludgeon trans men and non-binary people with

these fucking people do not experience actual fucking problems, they do not have any conception of what an actual problem is, they sit around lying about the traitorous Queen of Tee Em Eees, puppet of the completely fictional AFAB patriarchy, because they do not have real problems and have never had one in their entire lives, like all fucking people who can't go five seconds without reminding you they're a communist because they think it's cool and trendy and makes them sound smart to say things like dialetic materialist epistemology transubstantiating within the imperial core of the glocal northsouth without actually engaging in any of the actual ideals that make communism laudable and worthy of sincere pursuit

the temptation is to say that transradfems do it because they feel powerless to do anything about actual social issues on any level and lash out at anyone they can feel good taking a swing at, but I don't give a fuck, I'm not willing to give them that they're just misguided, I don't think there's a single atom in the being of even one transradfem that cares about about anything beyond the clout they can extract from it, at best everything they whine about is less than a fourteen year old on Livejournal writing about how unfair it is when their parents won't let them get a tattoo except usually the the fourteen year old would be relaying actual events that actually happened

and I straight up do not fucking believe anyone gets hate mail over interactions I've had with them either, I fucking do not believe those obviously bullshit lies while I still get anons calling me zipperits and trying to trigger dysphoria on the assumption that works on me for saying I think transmascs aren't cis men

in fact, I kinna half-joked about it before, but I think I now just fully believe it one hundred percent was a fucking trans rad fem - probably even this one in particular! - who sent my published work to that TERF the other day, because I haven't had that pinned or brought it up in months and I've never gotten attention from TERFs before this month outside of one or two comments that went nowhere

motherfucking hellsite

fucking internet

fucking stupid motherfuckers

Ask and you shall receive and ask lmao 🤭🤭Ok, but gimmie some of your best Mario headcanons or favorite moments of his from games/ other media 👀

Yay! Thank you!! Have some assorted Mario headcanons (mostly related to my own take wherein he marries Peach and becomes royalty because I am, if nothing else, predictable).

✨ Who was it that came up with the theory that the bros' last name is a shortening of Marionetti, which itself is a variation of Marianetti? Because it's brilliant and I've adopted it.

✨ Hopeless Romantic Mario is REAL, God bless. Boy's believed in true love and soulmates all his life; he was popular(ish) in high school, but he never dated (or even went on a date) because he never felt That Spark with anyone, and he decided at an early age that he wanted to wait for The One™. "True love is love worth waiting for, Weegee!" he'd lecture as Luigi rolled his eyes behind his back.

✨He and Luigi speak exclusively in Italian at home and when talking amongst themselves. If they're both telling a story to their friends in tandem, they'll sometimes lapse into Italian without even realizing it.

✨ He's granted a knighthood at some point, and he gains the title of King Consort when he marries Peach. King Consort is rarely used IRL; here, it's used to denote that he has more political influence and say-so than a Prince Consort would typically have, thanks to his extensive history of heroism and the sheer level of trust he's gained with both the government and the citizens of the Mushroom Kingdom. So he's like... halfway between a Prince Consort and King Regent.

✨ He's trained to be able to do everything Peach does so he can step in for her if need be (temporarily, and with assistance), but at the end of the day, she still holds significantly more power than he does (which he's more than happy with; ruling is overwhelming, and his wife is awesome.)

✨ His full title is His Royal Highness Sir Mario Marionetti the Honorary Second, King Consort of the Mushroom Kingdom. The "Honorary Second" part was supposed to be a joke; Mario, bewildered at how unnecessarily long the original title felt, snarked that they could make it longer by acknowledging him as the "honorary second" Mario in his family (as Mario was his father's nickname, though it was in reference to his last name rather than his first). Unfortunately for him, the Toad recording the meeting didn't quite grasp the sarcasm, and it stuck.

✨ Even after becoming king, he heavily prefers blue-collar work to sitting in committees and meetings and doing paperwork and all that fun royal stuff. More often than not, he's either assisting with practical tasks around the castle or is in town helping people fix plumbing and repair roofs and such.

Subjects, Faceless and Voiceless ARG Analysis

ELLOELLO ‼️‼️ you might've heard a friend of mine started an ARG, and so, tis the time to analyze everything we've gotten so far >:D

BEYOND THIS LINE INCLUDES SPOILERS FOR MY FRIEND @honeyzee312 's REALLY COOL ARG ON YT ‼️‼️

real quick disclaimer, I do have confirmation on some of my theories and small pieces of trivia bc at the time of initial analyzing I was chilling with zee irl TvT

ANYHOW;;; here's the pieces I have so far

Miscellaneous (not a video/common knowledge) :

- that hot pink color (we see it during the first video, Stars, at timestamp 0:28) is important

- the videos of the ARG are all mixedmatched at different times, so not all of them occur one after the other

- it all takes place sometime between 2015 and 2024

- there's an odd glitchiness that appears whenever we change scenes or somebody gets hurt

- soneone hit and killed somebody with a car in 2015, that's why that year is so important

Stars :

- Purple first appears

- Pink color and static for the first time

- Red first appears

- Blue first appears

- We learn Blue's name is Kayebee

- Red asks if Blue/Kayebee remembers something, to which they respond they do

There's not a whole lotta lore in this one I don't think, but I have been told to look deeper. The phrase 'lose the stars' is interesting and quite ominous :o

Liar :

- Teal first appears

- Teal is calling somebody ('he' pronoun) a liar as Blue/Kayebee narrates

- Pink and static again, scene changes

- Splotches of pink in the background of the next scene ? (I have gained confirmation that pink will not be a subject/character in the future so that's been ruled out)

- More pink, it fills up the entire screen but only ever when purple is talking and disappears when Red's dialogue appears

- I've received confirmation that there's three separate scenes; first one with Teal and Blue, second with Purple and Red, third with Red and Teal

- Purple asks if Red hates them, Red doesn't know

- Teal begins saying a name to Red in the next scene, 'Koki-' before getting cut off

- The two both call each other liars but never deny the accusations that either of them are liars

This one's interesting.. The scene switches confused me for a bit, but overall just raises more questions

Sorry :

- Scene begins with a conversation between Teal and Blue

- Teal asks if 'he' is okay and Blue asks Teal to define okay

- Teal says sorry a lot 0-0

- 'He doesn't forgive you!' from Blue to Teal

There's not a whole lot in this one that I can see either, but as I write this it has reminded me to check the descriptions more often

Trees :

- I've received confirmation trees aren't symbolic of anything, they're just pretty and something to be adored lol

- Blue, Red, and Purple chilling

- Red insults Purple, Purple hits Red, then static

Okay this one's just pretty and chill 🥹

6/8 :

- Title is a reference to a measure of music, and is a reference to Le Cygnus I've been told

- Blue and Red open up a scene

- Red is extra tired today :o

- Blue wants to show Red a song, static fills the screen as we switch scenes

- Purple is trying to calm Teal

- Static, we switch scenes

- Lilac first appears :DD

Lilac !!!!! Lilac intrigues me like a bug intrigues a scientist.. I wanna put them under a microscope and study them

Rain :

- 'on that night..' the night of the vehicular manslaughter, I'm assuming

- Static appears, switch scenes

- Green first appears!! welcome, world, to my handwriting >:]

- Red is either concussed or the rain gives them headaches

- The show begins being mentioned, and apparently Lilac wasn't tipped in on what it's about

- Blue, Green, Lilac, and Red all watch the show together

- Static, scene swap

- 'oh. my. god' from Purple, supposedly something bad

Oughh Green also intrigues me (partially because they have my handwriting lmao),, I wanna see more of them

The Show! :

- Blue begins narration

- Static, we return to Teal and Purple, Teal is panicking. Maybe the show was a news broadcast of some kind ?

- Teal apparently tipped off the cops, and told them 'they' (they as in plural, two or more) were nonviolent; I assume this is referring to the vehicular manslaughter TvT

- Static, we return to the bigger group

- Lilac is asking where 'she' is

- Green tells Lilac 'she' ran

- Lilac maybe didn't watch the show ??

- Static

- Red has a high fever, blue picks them up :,]

The plural 'them' is very interesting, I wonder if we'll ever get to meet them. It's been so long since I've had to pick apart a puzzle like this before I didn't realize how much I missed it lol

I most definitely haven't put together everything yet, but I eagerly await new material (no pressure btw Zee !! dw if u start running outta steam, it happens to the best of us lol) to put under my brain microscope :0

[xxk3vonicaxx]

... Here we go againn

So Blurry made a doc about me and posted it through a friend of his aandd... Oh boy is it somethingg, it's basically full of already resolved issues (only showing what I did to him and not what he did to mee), out of context screenshotss (as usuall), aand just blatant liess. He tried to claim I was his "abuser" as well 'cause I had held him accountable for his behaviorr (Whichh... Is absolutely crazyy, buut okk)

The only good thing about this was that Blurry referenced my special interest in the titlee, like yess, thank youu✨

Anywayy, onto discussing the docc:

First of alll, I never drew the art to "get back at him" or whateverr, like he so claimss, those aren't my words like he's claiming they aree, I never said I wanted to get back at himm, that's not what it waas:

It was for two reasonss, though the main one is the firstt:

It was meant as a warning for Blurry to try and stop stealing designs from my bestiee

Also I thought it would be a funny warningg (a jokee)

I've literally stated this several timess, how hard is it for someone to understandd? Not to mention I apologized for itt

Just 'cause something is a warning doesn't make it be out of revengee, Doing something as an act to warn someone not to do what they're doing isn't revengefull, don't know why he keeps trying to think it's out of revenge when it's nott

Likee, it's literally stated heree, by my bestiee, that it's a warningg. Neither of us would do this kind of thing to anyone elsee (unless you steal our designss/pass them off as your ownn, this is also a warning for those kind of peoplee), this was solely directed at Blurryy:

Alsoo, why are you calling nudity pornn? You show the dakimakura my bestie drew as one of your exampless, buut that's... Not pornn?

It's literally nudityy, why are you calling it porn when it's nott? What is your logicc?

Anywayy, continuing onn:

The "several userss" Blurry mentioned is his friend Cultc0ree (who has stolen 5 of my OCs aand has tried to slander my name beforee), aand his fans that contacted mee, who were either proshipperss, nsfw accounts that posted clopping (MLP Nsfww)/irl nsfww/yiff (furry nsfww), or bothh. One of which had reposted/supported bad dragonn, a zoophilic companyy... That kind of stuff makes me uncomfyy, of course I'd block those kind of people who post that stufff:

Due to the bad experiences I had with his fanss, I'm not in the furry fandom anymoree. I don't like drawing furries much unless it's my comfort characterr (more on that laterr). I still draw furries/anthro from time to timee, just not as much as I used tooo

Alsoo, Blurry fails to mention what happened after the callout post was madee, that being his father had threatened to dox me and a minor just 'cause I called him outt (shown heree and heree), aand he did nothing about itt, nor does he ever mention his own behavior towards mee

It's also ironic that Blurry says I stalk himm, when he's stalked both me and Mobcrit beforee. Blurry wouldn't know about this blog if he hadn't stalked my following on my alt accountt (which was privatee, my followingg, not my altt), as the blog isn't searchablee:

This is a blog made by the two authors of the Blurry docc, the blog isn't complete yett (as you can seee), buut it's a critique blog for Blurry's loree, like Mobcrit iss

Basicallyy, tumblr had a glitch that had marked your followers private for you in your settingss, buut had made them public on your profilee, aand that's how Blurry had found itt. It's not searchablee, he wouldn't have found it any other wayy

Anywayy, Blurry claims that me holding him accountable for his behavior (referring to my response post from the Blurry docc) is gaslighting according to himm, whichh... Holding someone accountable for their behavior isn't gaslightingg? Huhh??:

As welll, recentlyy, after Cags on Mobcrit posted an ask with someone saying people should rewrite Mob's FON loree, Blurry came into my DMs threatening su*cide and saying Cagney was attacking him 'cause the people on Mobcrit don't like his workk (He thinks I run Mobcrit when I'm just their archivistt, this has been stated multiple times on the blog itselff) ... He conveniently left this out of his docc:

What prompted that convoo, was that Blurry got mad that Cagney on Mobcrit proposed an idea to rewrite Mob's FON loree... Notice how I said MOB'S and not Blurry'ss, completely missing the meaning of the postt:

Cagney's talking about Mob's lore heree, not Blurry'ss. Blurry just can't understand that some people don't like his workk. You have to expect that kind of thing when you post your work so that people can see itt (Oh yeahh, he also calls that "bullyingg" sooo-)

Blurry had also accused me of gaslighting 'cause I had responded to a joke Cagney made (that Blurry gets no maidenss) by joking about it furtherr, whichh... The fact that you're getting upset over a stupid meme kind of confirms that at this pointt-

Anywayy, here was the response to the joke Cags made in questionn:

Aaand here was Blurry calling it gaslightingg:

Alsoo, he had lied to me about him not following NSFW accountss, aand I had called him out on it in that same convoo, as he was following Mob's NSFW account on twitter with his rebranded accountt, which he conveniently left out of his docc. He tried to lie and say that he had followed aand unfollowedd, buut that's a total liee, 'cause the screenshot shown was taken just before Mob deleted the account due to minors following itt:

Heree, he was acting like he was the main victimm, which he also left out of his docc:

Throughout this conversation there were multiple times in which Blurry was saying I was gaslighting himm... When I was holding him accountable for his behaviorr (aand noo, he hadn't apologized for making fun of my typing quirkk, he had lied in his "apologyy", as you guys already knoww:

Another thing to add onn, Blurry claimed I had "stolen an OC", when I actually hadn'tt:

(Notee, I was mad that Mob sold the original Deramu and other Sassy's Palace characters behind people's backss, lying to me that she said she wouldn't sell them at the timee. The new owner is a supporter/friend of Mob's and compared Mobcrit's critiques to school shooterss. This is also literally public infoo)

Also nooo, I never talked to him about this characterr, don't know where he got that fromm:

Mob had actually given me the OC during the recent chat she had with me when I got the rights to use the plants for Plantae backk (this is also public infoo, it's literally in the Mobcrit archivee), aand Mob had approved of the changes I had made to him after she gave him to mee:

Original design on the leftt, my redesign on the rightt, I liked it 'cause I thought it looked like my comfort characterr, hence the namee:

Anywayy, yeahh, that's not theftt, I literally got this OC for free along with my rights for the plantss. This is literally public infoo, I don't know why it was even mentioned in the doc in the first place since it has nothing to do with Blurry at alll

Mobcrit's probably gonna reblog this anywayy, buut there was some blatant lies that Blurry had said about them that just aren't truee (claiming the admins of Mobcrit were transphobic when in reality they were calling out people for their transphobia/using xenogenderss), also Blurry defends Mob in this specific part of the document as welll, mmm

Digimon Adventure Drama CD 1 (Character Song + Mini Drama 1)

I almost forgot about drama CDs! Digimon has a whole bunch of them, it turns out. Looks like I get to cling onto the Adventure cast for a little bit longer. This CD is a combination of very short drama bits and character image songs, as the name suggests. It feels a bit on the short side but I guess that's because it's only part one ;)

Download link

SOS! Grade 5 Class A

Translation here

A very silly story about Taichi and Sora fighting a potato digimon (Jagamon) during home ec class. Very esoteric references to 1970s anime are made.

I liked that this was just Taichi and Sora. I know that was probably more of a budgeting thing, but one-on-one moments (even dumb ones like this) are important to me.

There's something icky about Taichi commanding Agumon to digivolve just for his amusement...poor little guy

Favorite part of this was all of the meta jokes about this being an audio drama. For example, when they introduce Jagamon the narrator's like "well...we can't show you what he looks like, but he looks like a potato just trust me bro"

I had to look up who Ikkyuu-san was. At least the one Japanese commenter on the YouTube video understood the reference lol.

Image Song 1 - Turn Courage Into Wings (Yagami Taichi)

Translation here

A somewhat generic, but very Taichi song. (When it comes down to it, Taichi is a pretty generic shounen guy). Of course it focuses on courage because that's Taichi's thing.

At first the "you" mentioned in song was supposed to be a romantic interest and then I realized he could be singing platonically to Agumon or Yamato. I like the Agumon option best, that's really cute.

Takeuchi Sora's Fluttering Yellow Card

This was less of a drama and more of a little radio DJ-like snippet featuring Sora and Piyomon. Sora's VA is apparently a DJ IRL so this was an in-joke.

Mimi asks Sora where her hat came from and she just say "I don't know!" lolwut. I'm not sure if this segment is supposed to be in character or in some sort of weird "behind-the-scenes" world where the characters are aware they're in an anime. Seems like the latter.

Image Song 2 - Tomorrow I'll Be...(Takeuchi Sora)

Translation here

Damn, Sora's song was pretty dark. It did have a tinge of hopefulness, but mostly it sounded like she was singing about depression/existentialism being temporary. Kind of like a "this too shall pass" song. :(

She sings about how she feels like she has no one to fight for and has lost sight of her dreams. This fits in with that one arc where she despaired over "love" being her crest because it didn't suit her. I think we all know that feeling of being lonely in a crowd, even a crowd of friends. This song helped me appreciate Sora's character a little more.

Joe's Singer Debut!? (Parts 1 & 2)

I like how these skits introduce the character image songs, that's a really cute idea. These characters aren't singers in-universe (except for Mimi), so I guess they wanted to give context for why they're singing haha.

Part 1 is Gomamon suggesting songs for Joe to sing and performing little samples. Very cute. (Of course, he can't really sing well lol, but that adds to the charm).

Part 2 is the studio rep explaining that the next drama CD will be about a love triangle between Mimi, Koushiro, and Hikari. That sounds like a terrible idea. No chemistry between either pair if you ask me...Maybe that's the joke though.

Image Song 3 - There's Another Me (Kido Jou)

Translation here

This song was all about Joe facing and overcoming his insecurities and fear of risks. He talks about how you'll never grow if you completely avoid pain of any kind. Honestly, a pretty inspirational song for kids out there. I can definitely relate to Joe's timidity. I'm always avoiding getting out of my comfort zone which has held me back in some ways.

It's Tag Game Tuesday

I got tagged by @pachu09 and @fiyasgideon

Name: Messy! but Kyle is my irl nickname

Pronouns: They/She - hate being referred to as "she" online cause why? what's the point? I'm a genderless blob on the internet so why am I "she"? but I do have a pair of tits which I don't mind irl, just online I'm a "they"

First pet: A calico cat named "Kitty" only because i was really young going "Here kitty, kitty, kitty!" to call my fur baby and then she only responded to Kitty.

Favorite Scent: Chai! I don't know if it's the cardamon, star anise, or something else but the scent of warm spice I could bathe in.

Do you believe in astrology: Nah, but its fun to read! especially if they're funny horoscopes like @normal-horoscopes

How many playlists do you have on Spotify/apple music: none, pretty dang techno-phobic. i still rip off music from youtube-to-mp3 sites for my MP3

How did you learn my name was zedson in the dream

well its blurry, but fsr you were in America and i think I either like knew you were nearby or you knew you were nearby?? I remember we agreed to meet up before hand but i dont remember the details. and you were with friends that may or may not have been like your cousins or siblings but they weren't Canadian so actually i have no clue who the fuck those people were

your oldest cousin (i know for certain that she was your cousin so i guess presumably Canadian) was the one driving the car and you guys picked me up from some like random grass field???? I have no fucking clue the fuck i was doing in a random field but i wasn't there to meet up with you so i guess dream-yumehoshi (...yumeyumehoshI????) just likes to chill in fields

and in the car one of the may or may not be cousins referred to you by name. so I was like "oh your names zedson??" to confirm. later on one of the may or may not be cousins asked for my name but i couldn't answer because i was busy trying to decide whether it'd be awkward or not to ask the whole 'zedson vs zson' thing: and also just trying to wrap my head around the whole "in cananda z is pronounced zed" thing and just the existance of the name zedson

actually I was struggling SO much trying to figure that out that i could barely pay attention to the rest of the dream, i think we went to a cafe or shop or ither generic location but i couldn't pay attention to anything because i was still trying to figure out the name zedson. in the dream I never actually told you my irl name, instead just said 'mimikyu' (which to dream-me's credit mimikyu is a nickname i use irl)

on another note my dreams do this thing where they're ussually never fully 'live action' this one sorta switched between live action and a like, k-on-ish esque anime style, everyone appearance wise was vague, generic anime girl looking and very inconsistent between scenes.

i do remember for certain though that your oldest cousin was like lowkey goth/emo and you were occasionally shown with a little tippi/timpani hair pin

and I woke up just like "....Zedson????????????????"

Requests for Personal Information Online (a guide)

In order to socially interact with a person online, there is only one thing you need to know: what to call them. A name of some sort will do. A set of pronouns is helpful, but in a pinch you can do without (albeit awkwardly... at least in English).

"What do I call you?" is the one question you're obliged to answer: unless you're refusing to interact with them altogether, they're entitled to know how you want them to refer to you.

Answering other questions is optional.

— Q: Say, Anders Unmenschlich, how old are you?

Answering this question gives the asker some idea of how much life experience I have. Answering incautiously (say, with my exact birthdate) might also help them do something I don't want them to do (find me in real life, for instance, or hack an account I own).

I don't mind answering this question. Knowing how much life experience the person you're talking to has can be helpful in social interactions with them.

A: I'm 34.

— Q: Are you a man or a woman?

Despite the false binary presented here, this is a question about gender identity. Answering it gives the asker a vague impression of what my personality is likely to be like. It also hints at what my pronouns are. It would be better to ask those questions straight out, but hardly anyone ever does.

I don't mind answering this question on Tumblr. Elsewhere online I enjoy keeping my gender private and letting people make guesses based on my personality and pronouns, but I don't do that here. …Much.

A: Neither. I'm agender.

— Q: What are your pronouns?

A rare question, and one I enjoy getting. When asked straight out, I never withhold this information.

A: I use they/them pronouns online. I'm also comfortable with he/him pronouns—those are what I use IRL.

— Q: Are you male or female or intersex or what?

This question is both vague and rude. The questioner wants to know some intimate detail(s) about my body. Which ones? Unclear. Quite possibly they want to know everything:

What are my hormone levels? What do my genitals look like? How does my reproductive system function? Does it function? What do my chromosomes (some? all? most?) look like? How much body hair do I have, and where is it located? How broad are my shoulders? My hips? How is my skull shaped? Did I undergo any medical procedures after my birth? What ones? What was done? Have I taken hormones? Which ones, for what purpose?

Answering this question would give the questioner information they might need if they were my doctor, or a prospective lover. They are neither. They're a stranger on the internet, and have no need to know what I look like naked.

A: I prefer to keep my privates private.

— Q: What's your sexual orientation?

This is another question that shouldn't be asked right off the bat. Why would they need to know what type of person I am or am not sexually attracted to unless they were evaluating the possibility of me being sexually attracted to them (or to someone else they have in mind)? It's an odd thing to bring up without some kind of explanation.

That said, I don't mind answering this question either. Internet strangers don't need to have this information, no—but I find my online life is more enjoyable when people are aware that I'm not available.

A: I'm asexual, aromantic, and in a monogamous relationship with another aro ace.

— When asked a question, always ask yourself this before answering: "Do they need to know the answer to this question? Would it help us interact more smoothly?"

From there, you can decide for yourself if answering is worth it to you.

I see a lot of people who sort of have this mindset that nonbinary is like... more progressive or more radical or more freeing than binary genders, and yes, it can certainly be freeing for people who identify as such, but I think it's a mistake to ascribe any kind of political meaning to what is really just a person's view of themself.

I've been thinking about my gender a lot (as I do) and reflecting on my experiences. I often think back to when I was really seriously questioning my gender before I came out. it was a very difficult process for me that involved breaking down every notion that I had about gender, including what it means to even be a particular gender. ultimately, I couldn't define what it meant to be a man or a woman, because the criteria people use to define that, whether it's a gender-based or sex-based definition, is based entirely on social and cultural expectations. there is no such thing as a cultureless man or cultureless woman. I had a really hard time accepting that when I first realized it. I thought that by accepting that as fact, I had no choice but to consider myself nonbinary. after all, if I had broken down my ideas of man and woman so completely, how could I be either?

and yet, I never called myself nonbinary. it felt wrong. when irl friends who knew I was struggling with gender identity called me molsno instead of my birth name, or when they used "they" to refer to me, something felt so utterly wrong about it. I didn't feel free, I felt othered. I felt ambiguous, formless. it reminded me of the way I'd always felt living as a man - robotic, alien, monstrous. I didn't feel human.

but somehow, being a woman felt right. friends using "she" for me made me smile. being called vivi filled me with so much joy it made my heart flutter. being a woman made me happy. and so that's what I decided I am. I often thought back on that decision, though. I wondered, what if it's just a phase? what if I'm not really a woman? do I have any right to be a woman? how could I break the chains of the gender binary only to identify as a binary gender? it's been a long, slow learning process, but I know now.

I was correct that there is no such thing as a cultureless man or cultureless woman. however, there is no such thing as a cultureless nonbinary person either. the existence of nonbinary as an identity depends on the existence of a gender binary, which is inherently a cultural system. therefore, someone identifying with a gender outside of that binary is still operating under the gender system of their culture.

furthermore, there is no such thing as a cultureless person, either. I exist in, and am a part of, the culture that defines that gender system. my biggest mistake was assuming that the gender binary was a set of rules that society creates that you must adhere to, or else you're doing it wrong. the truth is that I have as much of a right to decide what being a man or woman means as anyone else in this culture. and so does everyone else, for that matter. there are no chains to be broken by rejecting the gender binary. a person identifying one way over another says nothing about how progressive or radical they are. it only reflects how they view themself.

so yeah, maybe being nonbinary is freeing to some people who felt restricted by their agab and now get to decide what their gender is for themselves. and that's awesome for them! but they're not the only ones who get to do that. I can do it, too. I can be a woman and proud of that. being a woman says nothing about me as a person; it's just a reflection of how I view myself. I don't feel restricted whatsoever, because I get to decide what being a woman means for myself. and that's awesome for me!

[sternentinte]

Okay, so here’s what I mean:

Generally pronouns are words that are used to replace nouns, when you don’t want to keep using the same noun over and over again. Here’s a few examples:

Mary: “Hey, have you seen my jeans?”

Peter: “The ones you were wearing earlier?

Mary: “No, I put those in the laundry.”

Just for comparison, in a hell world without pronouns we would be stuck with this:

Mary: "Hey, has Peter seen Mary's jeans?"

Peter: "The jeans Mary was wearing earlier?"

Mary: "No, Mary put the jeans Mary was wearing earlier in the laundry."

Clearly, this is not super efficient, and inefficient things don't tend to stick around in language unless they're super necessary to convey an important meaning. This second dialogue does not only fail to do that, it actually kind of makes everything more ambigious.

For one, it's not extremely clear that Mary is talking about her own jeans rather than ones that belong to some other Mary who also may or may not have worn those jeans earlier and/or put them in the laundry. In a similar vein, she is also not very clearly talking about what this specific Peter has seen.

The pronoun that really does the heavy lifting here, though, is the those. It not only saves us from saying the word jeans again, it also denotes a sense of distance to those jeans. When I first learned English I was told that you use this and these for things that are close by, whereas that and those are reserved for things that are farther away, which is not exactly untrue, but here those is really used for conceptual distance, as in not the jeans Mary originally meant, but some other jeans, which, in my opinion is way cooler. (Because spatial distance is almost always used as a metaphor for time distances is used as a metaphor for conceptual distances etc. My prof also says that elaborate systems of demonstrative pronouns (that's what those is) tend to develop in small isolated communities and eventually lead to case systems-- if I don't stop right here I'll never finish)

Basically, we're all glad that pronouns exists for mostly efficiency but also clarity a little bit. Until you are in a situation where there are more than one noun you want to replace (looking at gay romance novels here) which is when you want to have a couple different ones to differentiate. That's what's happening with this/these and that/those.

What I'm saying is, you start to use different pronouns for things that are important for the group of speakers to differentiate. With personal pronouns (used to replace a person's name), English uses mostly either the relationship to speaker and recipient (I for the speaker, you for the recipient, he/she/they for people neither of those) and gender to be able to differentiate between multiple people in a conversation.

Except that, on tumblr (also on other social media, but I'm not sure if say, instagram uses op), those distinctions are not always the most helpful. People still use you and I of course, but it's not usually immediately obvious which kind of gender-related pronouns are appropriate, and you could perhaps find out on that person's blog or ask, but also perhaps not, and in any case, it's kind of a lot of work for making a distinction that doesn't matter for the conversation. (Also, any reader of the post would depending on the situation also need to figure out which pronouns refer to who and all of that is just not conducive to efficiency.) It would be possible to circumvent pronouns by just using the person's username, but honestly, I don't think most people look closely at urls when they read a post with a bunch of reblogs, so it's not always the best either. We still do that if there are too many different posters and we want to address somebody in particular and need more clarity, which are the situations we also use names rather than personal pronouns IRL.

However, the situation where somebody wants to refer to the initial person who created the post is very common. Thus -- op, a pronoun used for that person on every post. You could probably argue that it denotes order, but I actually think it's more similar to pronouns like you and I in that it refers to the role of the person in a particular post (=conversation). Sometimes people also use op for themselves when they reblog the post with a further addition, probably in order to call to attention that they actually are op, because again, lots of people don't pay attention to urls.

Basically, it is used very similarly to other personal pronouns, but in situations that don't really make sense in offline settings. We're all always creating languages without knowing it and I love that for us.

TL/DR: Pronouns are great because they create more efficiency and clarity in language and op (as in original poster/person) does that for a communication situation that is unique to online communication. Otherwise, it operates really similarly to other personal pronouns.

I just realised that op is a pronoun
