Passing from shadow territory to arcane was not an easy journey.

Nestled between the two god's domains was the land of plague. The Scarred Wasteland and it's pestulant heart that beats kn the middle was not a place for the weak, it's denizens reveling in strength gained through strife. Disease and death was celebrated, at least in the sense that it uplifted those who survived the trials Plaguebringer inflicted on the land.

On the bright side, the skies had a consistent weather. Dry and warm, with no storms to contend with.

On the downside, being skybound did not save you from the constant wars that further scarred the wasteland. Beast on beast, dragon on dragon, leaving the sanctuary of a clan meant placing yourself on the forefront of an all out war. It truly was survival of the fittest, where wings of monstrous beings could easily blot out the sky as they descended on you. Indeed, brigands hungry for resources and plague ridden avians were constant threats to skyfairing ships.

Stars Aligned was by no means a fragile ship. She was sturdy, perhaps ready for war in another life, outfitted with a hard metal shell and a steel cage around her air balloons. Wing shredder ballistas lined the sides, ready for use against those who dared enter a dog fight with her. The weakness, Though, is her heavy set made her slower than lighter ships and slower yet compared to rogue dragons. She must be prepared.

The Sanctum of the Outcasts was the only stop for weeks around, and was one Rataskorn was fond of. In her days running wild with mirror packs, she could remember nipping at the heels of it's defenders when she was a spry pup, and recalled it's location well. Most would discredit the mirror's intelligence, but her memory was unmatched: she stood on the balcony of the ship, excitedly pointing every which way as she recalled even the smallest details of her life in the abiding boneyard.

So much fighting. So much blood. Good times.

The great airship touched down not far from the Sanctum, finding no trouble for parking in the endless space that stretched around it. Rataskorn bounded off, the voices of her peers making their to-do lists sounding like distant static to her. Her mind was long set. She knows what she must do!

She must find a suitable gift of the wastes for her beloved mate! This is more important than life itself. Yes, Hraes loved her sparklies and shinies. Shadow dragons enjoyed trinkets and curios, like the strange black birds that pecked at bodies. Yes, just like them! Like a strange black bird…

With dreams of Hraes wearing raven's wings, the mirror sped off across the arid land, the faraway cry of someone telling her to wait falling on deaf ears. Merchants of the Bazaar beware: a bull was coming for your glass shops.

I'll be honest the whole argument about it being imperative that the gang never "wins" is still so fucking stupid to me. did you watch 3x01 with your eyes closed. dennis has "won" before, and it ruled, actually. why do we need broad ass arguments like this trying to pin down sunny when there's like. countless examples to the contrary to show it's been like this the whole time.

#i swear its only an issue when people want to use it to justify their opinion but its always so easily countered by just. watching the show #ada speaks #is dee day not an issue to y'all because dee 'deserves' her win #its such a weird fucking thing to be mad about #i agree there should be consequences when the gang do something shitty. BUT #what the fuck did dennis do wrong in dtamhd that he needs to be punished for #personal victories are not uncommon for the gang?#do you think mac coming out shoukd have netted him a punishment #do you have a problem with the note s15 ended on when the gang came together for charlie #there are so many examples like. not EVERYTHING has to come back around and bite them in the ass #when they do something awful. yes. sure. but its ridiculous to expect some twist for everything #they get off scot free constantly and that's. kind of the point. money and privilege and the art of not giving a fuck #idk. idk. but its so stupid to me that this is a complaint going around NOW like we don't have 15 prev seasons

One thing that I will never get over was the influx of people in the Sims community who actively rallyed against disabilities being included in the sims because it was "too sad"

Like jesus fucking christ

#ableism #i think #note i am like able bodied so like i wasn't like the psrt disabled community who was directly blasted by this #but like thats still gross man #like seeing people being like “its too sad to see disabled people in game because what if they are helpless little babys #like they didn't want to see blind people to like burn alive in their own homes which????? like thats suchs a wild like claim its bizarre #which like i understand its sad but like being trans is sad- being lbgt+ is sad but that doesn't mean the sims should exclude them #like even if the sims gets something as simple as a trait that makes it harder to communicate as the speech disability rep #then i would love it of how like non visable speaking difficultys are in media #like it doesn't even have to be like a big like single trait #i do think making one big trait to repressent all disabitys would be bad #but even if its more “mini traits” like the trouble speaking then i think they could pull it off #(also did we forget the insane trait existence and how they basically did a whole fuck you when insane was still in the game)#idk this is a rant sorry #sims 4

i'm so glad i won't be working with my pi after this month. i think i've reached my limit. i just can't deal with her anymore

#she said 'oh idk if i can make it to your thesis'#SHE IS ON MY THESIS COMMITTEE. SHE'S KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR A YEARRRRRR #she said she might be on vacation w her bf... instead of going to my fucking thesis defense.#there was a special vote just so she could be on my committee. wdym you have to go on vacation #ALSO i've been asking her to check my calculations for a thing for MONTHS #and she still hasn't. but she made me present on it in front of a bunch of people.#i'd like to note that this calculation is like. the point of my thesis. and she hasn't even bothered to look at it #she forced the interns to work 50 hours last week. they're only being paid for 40.#she hasn't read any part of my thesis... others have but they don't know the details like she does #i told her to read my fucking thesis and she said she had and that it 'looked good'#what does that mean. WHAT does that mean. how do you have no comments. on my thesis. that determines whether i graduate #and then she said i'm ''irresponsible'' bc i went to a concert???#like it didn't affect anything. i showed up to work on time. i completed everything i meant to.#but i guess going to one concert is like. unacceptable.#i'm sooooo sorry i decided to go have fun for one night instead of agonizing about my thesis (that again. she hasn't read)#she asked if i want to give a talk at the new place she got hired at but she now works for fus #which is a incredibly conservative homophobic private catholic university. i've never heard anything positive about it #like they're legally allowed to discriminate against lgbt people... does she know what i fucking look like????#she's so so conservative but she only interacts with other conservative catholics #and doesn't understand how fucking vile her views are. and she wonders why people don't like her #like maybe she should shut the fuck up about how she thinks abortion is a sin at work!!#she once said 'the only time i feel uncomfortable in my skin is when i talk about being a conservative catholic at work'#AND THEN SHE SAID 'it really makes me understand how hijabis feel'#IN FRONT OF MY HIJABI COLLEAGUE. HELLO???? like she is not persecuted for being a conservative catholic #i literally started laughing when she said that. i think i said 'please get real'. and she's still mad #anyway. my colleague decided to no longer work with my pi. idk if it was bc of that comment #she mentioned that once i leave there won't be anyone who understands the data on the project anymore #like yeah. maybe you should've looked at the data. like at all #and not had an unpaid master's student do literally all the work for you

Hello hello! Just wanted to say I spotted the James Naremore minibook analyzing "Sweet Smell of Success" at the BFI shop last week and obviously had to get it because you have indoctrinated me into having this movie on permanent standby in my brain (many thanks for this). Have you read it before?

i haven’t read in depth any of naremore’s scholarship or listened to his commentary track - i’ve skimmed it enough to get the crux of his interpretations. to be fully honest, i don’t engage with most scholarship surrounding the film these days. my opinion/analysis is pretty fully formed by this point and unwavering. but i think it’s a good document to have for people who are interested!

#asks #to be fully honest. most scholars i go back and forth on with regards to this movie. there’s interpretations i really don’t agree with #and instead of get into the nitty gritty of all that bullshit i’ve instead focused almost exclusively on THE text to form my own interp.#idk i think people praise naremore for the access he had to the early versions of the scripts #but i think it’s important to note that critics like him and david thomson are not like. experts. they’re just critics forming their own #interpretations. and i think a lot of people cite them as utmost authorities when they should steer away from doing so #lol sorry this is a really long winded way of dancing around what i’m too polite to say LMAO #didn’t mean to get into that. it’s a good resource and i hope you enjoy it!

transfem furries hornyposting online about the relatively niche/"out there" things they're into have inadvertently helped me accept myself more than the body positivity movement of the 2010s ever did

#this will not be rebloggable because i don't want people to get transmisogynistic in the notes #it's just something i've been thinking about lately #i hope i'm not like out of line for saying this please let me know if i say anything disrespectful #i just have a lot of love in my heart for transfems; especially those who log on to this website to be gay on my dash and do their thing #trans wlw being proud of their identities helped me come to terms with my own in a way. idk how to properly explain it but #idk. our experiences are very different - you have to fight to be seen as a woman and i have to fight not to #(though that is part of my identity in most cases people would use it to negate the rest)#(and of course none of us should Have to fight that but. i hope it's clear what i mean lol)#and idk like. womanhood is not achieved painlessly for you and yet so many of you embrace it so beautifully and in so many ways #it makes me want to accept that part of myself i thought i had to kill for so long #i am not entirely a woman but i love being a woman and loving other women-#platonically romantically sexually it doesn't matter #i'm so grateful i get to share a community with you all and read/hear/watch your thoughts and experiences and such #which goes beyond sex stuff but sex stuff is a particular personal struggle of mine and it's something i've been trying to cultivate a more #healthy relationship to lately. and i also know that unfortunately transfems get treated even worse than everyone else when it comes to #kinks or whatever. i don't mean to imply that everyone has to be open about that stuff. i just mean that i'm grateful for those who bravely #and proudly are. anyway i'm losing my train of thought bc i'm packing for a trip and i'm a little scattered atm but the point is #transfem wlw i love you dearly thank you for existing #[oh also this post isn't meant to bash body positivity stuff and i know it's not all the same. it just often felt too sanitized and forced #for me to relate to. ok bye]#finielspeaks

I was always under the impression that you are Dutch.... Succesful dutchification

ah huh! i have fooled another one (jk jk).

i am not, i am very much still a humble australian, last time i checked. and unless this ancestry dna test on my desk proves anything otherwise, i remain very much Not Dutch.

#i do think something to note is i have never actually um. claimed to be dutch.#people have always just assumed !?#i am Never beating the allegations people are shocked when i say im not dutch #my dutchification actually intrigues me and i think it should be studied for science #like i fully understand that the netherlands is a Choice but here is my bed i made so i will go and sleep in it #there is a reason i keep that ask pinned on here.#even when i let my mutual who knows who she is read goud i mentioned how i avoided mentioning anne-fleur and merel's high school years #like in depth. bc like. i dont know and thats complex and i could research it but its better not to #it also means i would have had to choose what high school type they went to like ? i have an idea but i didnt wanna do that #anyways long story short she was like to me 'yeah i think you know more than you let on based on this alone'#even though i avoided it because ... i didnt really #anyways idk why thats relevant right now but it came to my mind #but i think that alone is also a sign of success n the dutchification department #now all i need to do is get back into learning dutch and we swell.#also funny is that i can pinpoint the start of my dutchifcation to 2020 and now its been weird to see a bunch of joost fans #essentially go through what i did #i see my past self in some of them. its weird #thanks for the ask i chuckled

Cannot find my older post about it (tbh I didn't try very hard) but honestly I am so tired of people trying to pretend like there's any sort of consistency to "cis women getting a nose job is evil and NOT feminist. However all transsexual surgery is Holy Holy Holy". It's truly not surprising how often people end up reblogging from like, actual tradcaths about "modern women ruining their natural feminine beauty" or whatever. I've said this all before so I don't wanna repeat myself but obviously this does not mean "you cannot critique what drives people (cis or trans) to get 'plastic surgery'" or "women's choices exist in a vacuum" (although I would roll back some of the extreme performative hatred for women who make The Bad Not Feminist Choices), but it DOES mean "stop pretending like there's any sort of actual distinction between Cis Plastic Surgery (bad) and Trans 'Gender-Affirming' Surgery (good) that does not fully rely on the medicalization of being transgender" and it ALSO means "stop pretending to care about bodily autonomy when what you really mean is 'people can do things with their bodies I think are cool and good, but not things that I don't like. Those things should literally be banned, that's how we will save women'"

#i've Definitely said this before but bodily autonomy is not just the tumblr leftist transSEXual commune smoking and getting abortions or w/e #it's also all the things you don't like. it's also all the things you think are frivolous. it's also all the things you think are harmful #idk toooo many terfs have come into my notes to tell me that transgender surgery is equivalent to eating disorders #or 'transracial' plastic surgery or Literal Self-Mutilation or whatever that i'm done pretending #i'm not going to do the Noooo it's different! this is Medically Necessary surgery to treat the mental illness that makes me trans <3 #thing i'm Done. there is no definitive line between 'cosmetic surgery' and 'gender-affirming surgery'#and if it's either have both or have neither i think it's pretty obvious which one we should choose #open mick night #gender #idk you familiarize yourself with enough anti-trans anti-drug anti-kink and etc talking points and all this starts to #leave a bad taste in your mouth lol #when i say you can do WHATEVER you want forever i do mean it. even if the things are harmful or politically reductive or whatever #you can Leftist Critique it but you cannot even for one second start to fall into the 'and this is why women should Not Be Allowed To-' tra #bc as always. what's ur reasoning? you find it morally wrong? what other medical procedures do people find morally wrong? regarding women?

I'm writing AGAAAAAAIN

And it's TRRAAAAAAASH

But I don't CAAAAAAARE

Because it's FUUUUUUNN

#What is wrong with you Sam you should not be allowed to write #I guess sometimes you just have to resign yourself to writing extremely trashy rarepair AUs that will only appeal to like three people #It is The Way #Y'all motherfuckers don't care about Chricky?! WELL GUESS WHAT after I'm done with this...you will continue to not care about Chricky!!#But I'll be happy! 😀#On a more serious note I am dubious about the quality of this writing #Methinks this second chapter is going to expose how out of my depth I am with this AU 😬#But I've wanted to write a proper multi-chapter fic for a long time now since it's been forever #And against all odds it's *this* idea that I've thought about the most and have something resembling a story taking shape in my mind #And it's FUUUUUUUUN for me at least so maybe that's all that matters?#Still need to actually complete that outline though #And perhaps a separate doc just to catalogue all of the superfluous smut ideas I have in mind for this fic #When I say I've thought about this AU too much and have an embarrassing amount of ideas for it I mean it baybeeeeee #And at this point it's like...I almost don't care if it's bad? Like what'll happen if it sucks - am I gonna get sued LOL #So perhaps I should just Do The Thing and not worry about whether The Thing is Good or not #IDK these tags are out of control STFU Sam JEEEEEZ

went to my first con in 4 years on Friday to meet Kaiji Tang and got a Dazai autograph + video recording of him reading to me. He was the sweetest person (as I knew he would be) and interacting with him was lovely, but also at the same time oh boy it sure was an extremely stressful, ugly wake-up call of what it feels like to live in a world now where everyone around you has blissfully moved on from covid and can enjoy things normally and happily, while you'll forever be trapped in a hellscape of perpetual fear 🫠🫠🫠

#like. to be clear this was the first time i've been literally anywhere but doctor's appointments in 4 years #not just because of the pandemic but because of mental and physical exhaustion #so it was a Big Mistake to go from 0 to 100 and not ease myself into it at all #but at the same time........ it was a fucking hellscape of people. i don't think any kind of buildup could have prepared me for it at all.#it was so much less crowded in 2020 (ironically the very last place i ever went; literally on the BRINK of covid)#and now idk what it's become. a monster con. it was unbelievable.#but i was only there for less than an hour but i was so so so terrified that i very nearly left before even seeing him #i couldn't even fully enjoy meeting him as kind as he was because i was so anxious and distracted #and when i got back to the car i just fucking cried.........#the last five days i've just been sitting in fear waiting to feel Any sort of symptoms #i wore two masks and again was barely there for long but Still #and everyone around me was so chill as if everything was normal and No One was wearing a mask :))))) it's not fucking fair man :)))))#insert the 'they don't know' meme; they don't know how much covid can destroy your body even if you get a 'mild' case #i would never want to be that ignorant even if i wasn't disabled and didn't have reason to worry (but everyone has reason to worry!!!)#but also. ignorance is bliss and it just really fucking sucks man.#it really fucking sucks. why do they get to be happy and enjoying life and not /me?/#why can't i do just ONE thing for myself without having it tainted by anxiety and fear that i'm going to die horribly???#while they get to do fucking EVERYTHING???#if they all just wore masks we could all enjoy ourselves much more comfortably than some of us are now #but no that's too much to ask from people 🙃🙃🙃#shit sucks man. the world sucks. something that should be a happy memory for me was simultaneously the most awful experience #and i don't know how to feel about it now that it's over #he knew that i was afraid and at the end he told me that he hoped to see me again at another event someday #and that made me cry because it felt like dazai telling me to live. and i want to. but i don't know how to when the world is like this now.#i desperately want to be able to see him again someday but right now after how terrifying that was i never want to go to a con ever again..#i wanted to ask him things about the manga and about dazai but i was being rushed and stressed so i couldn't ugh #(and doing that is hard enough anyway cause disability and i have to talk with my phone bahhhh)#at least i was able to give him my note *sigh*

Idk if you guys realize how mentally unwell you look when you unironiclaly upload to the internet a post where you spit a pre-chewed opinion criticizing group A for saying "Group B must die violently because they deserve it" and then end up with a "and that's why Group A must die violently because they deserve it"

#i understand by now that yall arent interested in learning and educating yourselves and are just parroting what you read on twitter but #do you think you could like. at least make a midly sensible statment #as in when you denounce people for dehumanizing others by dehumanizing them yourself you look stupid #i have seen a few times already ppl calling out the ''theyre animals and must be exterminated like pests'' statments very logically #because that's an insane thing to say #and then add their final note about how they think the ppl who said that are animals and must be exterminated like pests #you guys understand you do not get to choose who deserves to be treated like a person or not right you do understand #that youre mirroring the very same behavior you claim to be against because the people saying it are not in ''your'' side #at best you look ridiculous and at worse i consider you highly unsafe to be around #idk if yall are trying really hard to make ppl around you know youre super in touch w minorities in pain and shit #but its absolutely not working. you should try not doing the same thing that is being used against them #for starters

unfortunately im a chaser for cis dickgirls that arent so invested in transmisogyny. the harder they are to find, the more precious they become, and the more of a chaser i become

#i need a fat broad with autism and a critical approach to gender #god i hate how you cant say that without it being a dogwhistle for reactionary transmisogyny as opposed to critical thinking #this feels like before my time cause ppl were already using the term by the early 2010s #but whats going on with critical race theory atm has a similar possible end #not that it starts to represent some particular fringe group invested in some other form of structural violence #but that it becomes more and more meaningless and putting the terms race and critical together becomes more difficult #i dont know why this post turned into a tag commentary on robbing black people of language but here we are #trying to be abrasive with other trans lesbians is hard to do without getting distracted #and just being honest about observations #also the more i think about it i dont want to make that kind of commentary about racism just for the drama #that post about hypervisibility wasnt supposed to get a hundred notes lol #i dont think i should be playing chicken like this so much or at least give it a limit idk #at least not when i chose to engage the world that way #honesty or just existence as a trans woman is already a game of chicken #fml these tags are like twice as long now
