#im still not really sure if any of this is right at all. but i do like intestinal cables

[ritualcaster]

I know we're at totally different spots still but i read the article and it i think i've generally figured out what about me pissed you off so much.

Tone policing is a subsection of ad hominem. I'd like you too reread your posts to see if ur making that mistake too.

And yeah i mean it makes sense for the most part I was aligning with the "usually used by" section especially with how i was talking, and for the record i dont usually talk like that that, i just try to punctuate n stuff when it feels important to me i guess.

Im not trying to dismiss anything at all, I'm trying to help somewhere i felt like i could help. And idk why we aren't clicking rn but just read that sentence like 15 times.

Yeah i said the equivalency was wrong right in those parantheses right there, yk what just stop looking at the red text in that image just pretend there is NO text there. I was using sex because i felt like you would get what i meant better, but it seems like it just sparked misunderstanding.

Continuing

Sorry for rexplaining all the stuff you already knew i just thought that that was what you were talking about me not getting. Like i just wanted to say it out loud so that its on record that i know too? Like that's something we are agreed upon.

Continuing

I'm not mad that you can't "transition into intersex" and honestly I highly regret using sex as an example like. At all. You guys are crazy. Sorry.

Honestly I have a pretty lax stance right now on people who would "want to be intersex" (so i can change it if need be) because even after research i just don't really have experience. As an intersex a mean. Like there are a seriously high amount of medical complications, theres all the oppression, all the forced "surgeries" that are an insult to surgery as a concept, nearly complete infertility, and plenty of general pain an unpleasent sensation. so this time I'm asking you a more personal question.

Do you feel like there is anything about being intersex that would make it prefferable to being perisex.

Any positives at all worth metioning? Or would it be better to have the term as something like being disabled. Do you feel like it's just something from birth that just inherrently sucks?

Continuing

I mean this so sincerely i'm honestly just not even sure how to word it, do you just want me to stop? Like replying? I can delete everything right now, or do you think I better serve as an example? If my stances seem to shift or contradict ir just completely change as we keep going back and forth, its because they are, and you changed them. I'm actually trying my damndest to listen and fix my shit man.

I thought you were here because you wanted to change my beliefs, but if you're just here out of anger i'd feel pretty bad.

on this subject, youre the one who knows everything. If youre here to tell me, ill listen, and if you aren't, then? Im not sure why youre still talking to me at all, and id like to hear about that too

I know that i shouldn't correct even tone on subject im unqualified for

I know that being intersex isn't something to be sought after, even for those who are non-bianary

I know that i am a hateful tar pit whos going to hell

And man thats just all the shit i learned in this convo alone so id say im learning plenty already

In case anyone needs a reminder…

Being transgender does not make you intersex.

Going through HRT does not make you intersex. Surgery cannot make you intersex.

Intersex people are born with atypical variations of physical, biological sex characteristics. That is what makes someone intersex.

Perisex trans people (especially on Reddit) have been recently insisting that just being transgender makes you intersex, and therefore able to speak over intersex people on issues that specifically affect us, especially when it comes to dangerous and offensive terminology. This is not true.

Also the idea that you can somehow “make yourself intersex” is untrue. You can make your body more androgynous through things like hormone treatment and surgery, but that does not make you intersex.

Falsely claiming intersex identity based on these things isn’t *always* malicious (though it is often done to speak over us) but it is always harmful.

re: shinyduo/gempearl being so not normal about each other after life series. other anon was so right why are they freaky.

pearl is definitely just as at fault imo. gem’s excellent at innuendos and tone of voice (“your red skin is my favorite~”) but pearl’s yes and filter falls apart in front of gem. the pickles a prime example, and the ren stream disaster wedding of course. she’s also very genuine and i love that for her. but that results in crazy lines like the “love you gem. always will. even if you dont want me, ill still be there.” TO STREAM WHEN GEM WASNT EVEN THERE.

and i need to mention the latest stream. Pearl “I only get asked if im gay when you’re in the picture” and how they both have to take a minute of silence to process that flejelejwkej. whose fault is that pearl? whose fault ?? to her credit she seems genuinely confused by the extent of her actions. the most damning evidence for her straightness i fear. rip gem though, she seems to be having fun anyway.

theyre both professionals and follow up in that stream with how the fandom will always play around with them as characters etc etc. good communication, very healthy, good for them. but this post is about why they graduated from shenanigans and innuendos to 2 hours of fanservice and it doesn’t even feel intentional half the time.

as for next life series, i would be shocked if they didn’t keep up this befuddling yuri bit. theyve mentioned seeing all the tierlist maker dream team posts and pearl had to ask her chat “OTHER than gem, who should I team with” so theyre well aware demand is there. theyre fantastic as enemies and well aware of that, but they could get some scarian level drama by teaming together, and i dont say that lightly. since pearl keeps stalling pvp on hermitcraft, theyre never getting that 1v1 without cosmic intervention or a declaration of love 😭

rambling now. love to hear your thoughts xoxo

yippee i love anon rambles!!! im glad we’re all unwell

im NOT gonna go on another rant about the life series alliance situation because as i’ve just demonstrated yesterday i can literally rant. for hours. and we don’t need that lmao. at this point whether or not they team up in the next one SOMETHING will happen. i have that much faith in them. they’re bound to run into each other and do something and that’s the shiny duo connection speaking god bless

like the other anon said, i do think they can work with just about any dynamic and it’ll be insanity-inducing either way. one of my favourite things about them just as a pairing (in any context, platonic, romantic, etc.) is just the way they will drift towards one another, to be linked in a way that’s indescribable, to always carry a piece of each other with themselves wherever they wander because the influence they’ve had on the other is irrefutable— and okay yeah they’re getting way too freaky about it get out of my fan fiction-esque rant. what are you doing here. why are you like this. what. like there’s something going on when what they’re getting up to creeps more and more into being what i usually read in fics. i. hello???

i really, really want to give them the benefit of the doubt. okay. listen. for every mention of feet and poking at pearl’s straightness, there’s a chat message behind it that warranted it, i’m sure. this isn’t the post to be getting into how fans are with cc boundaries and how we’re STILL bad at figuring our tags out, but i feel like this discussion eventually HAS to touch on the fact that it’s been made clear that they don’t want to see shipping stuff, and bringing it up in chat crosses that boundary just as well. i think they’ve handled it well in acknowledging that they’re aware it’s for their characters, drawing clear lines between what they’re comfortable with and what they’re not, etc. i think just the muddled lines from people continuously bringing stuff from a fandom space up to a cc contributes a lot to why we got. whatever happened on that wednesday stream. honestly, from these instances on stream i think it’s been shown that they just find this stuff amusing, and good for them, y’know? still doesn’t mean we should be regularly poking them about ships and. well. i dunno. literally bringing it up in chat?

but still. BUT STILL. god the ways they “yes, and” each other just keep getting worse. stuff like the pickles and the wedding (and the SL ep 4 ender dragon fight! still one of the most baffling “yes, and”s i’ve ever seen from them, i swear to god) were almost completely just them. that was just them. there’s no blaming chat for gem saying “wait, i don’t have a beard” right after pearl rejects ren for having a beard, and CERTAINLY NOBODY ELSE TO BLAME when pearl takes that and literally proposes to her. that was all them. and why. girl. huh??? i do believe, at least to some extent, that pearl is oblivious to the implications of what she does/says. but that only goes so far. sorry man i can only give so much benefit of the doubt for like 2-3 streams of 2 hour fan service. good lord

i was texting a friend who isn’t into mcyt about this whole. thing. and the way i described it was: imagine being a gempearl shipper, and you’re enjoying life, driving this train with fanfics and fanart and everything’s all good… and then for some reason gem and pearl jump on the train, hijack the conductor seat and starts directing the train elsewhere. nearing the end of that stream i was questioning my life and screaming for a way off this train. that’s how it felt to me. of course i’m exaggerating but like. genuinely how did we get here

Dearest sibling

(Fifth sibling short story)

Leshy and Eko (the lamb lmao) were sitting in one of Leshy's massive garden near his temple.

While Leshy was playing on a tall tree ,picking up fruits and the leaves that came with it , meanwhile the lamb was sitting on the edge of a fountain ,alguee sitting at the bottom of it ,all they could do was stare at the god of chaos ,in complete silence .

The mossy worm eventually looked in the way of Eko and noticed their staring and eery silence.

"Oh little laaaammmb, what's with the silence, little brother ? " ,Said the worm laying on a thick branch,looking down at the lamb.

-"please.....do not call me that lord leshy..."

-".... sooooooo ,little sis ?", asked the worm, swinging his clawed and mossy paws.

-"no !... dont call me that ,im not- "said the little lamb a bit panicked before getting interrupted by the worm's chuckling.

-"ohhhh ,little sibling then ? Got it !" ,said the bishop climbing to a lower branch in order to pick up the lamb.

-"no ! My bishop ! Please ,stop it ! You and I both know we are in no way related ! You know im not Narinder don't you ?....so why....why do insist on calling me a sibling ?..." asked Eko ,their voice getting lower with every word and their head lowering with their voice.

The worm had placed the small lamb on the branch next to him,letting the little lamb swung his hooves in the void under him

The bishop of chaos chuckled and answered the lamb's question.

"Easy enough ! They are 2 reason, my dear little sibling ! First, i know you arent Narinder but ill tell you something ,youre probably just like him ,but.....weaker ,smaller !" ,said the worm with a smile,poking Eko's cheek,"You sure will never be able to hurt us because you dont even know how to use the red crown !"

"But alsoooo~ ," he raised them by the back of the collar of their robe ,and bringed them to eye level," i do watever i want. And i wanna treat you as a sibling. But you still are nothing but a lamb. If you bore me out of my love for you,ill entertain myself by twisting your head of your spine. Shamura loves you ,and i do too, but that can always change."

The lamb was curled up on themself ,barely daring to breathe ,they knew their next death would be their last.

Leshy was right. They were still a fragile mortal despite the crown on their head, a crown they couldnt use.

Their life was hanging of one thread ,and those gods were the ones who had the scissor. They knew that the moment shamura realized they weren't their dear brother ,death would be quick to welcome them.

Leshy smiled a bit ,and giggled as if the look on Eko's face was but a silly joke.

The worm lowered his hand until the lamb's hooves were on the ground ,and letting them go.

"Now go ! Shamura's gonna wake up any minute now ,dont want our dear sibling to think youre gone ,would we ?" He said with a warm smile as the little lamb stepped back from the claws of the god.

They nodded and bowed to Leshy as if to say goodbye ,wich got a snicker out of the god of chaos, and they were on their way back to shamura's temple.

@kiko---random-stuff-probably ,since you asked me to tag you !!!!>:)

[dailyfigures]

im still a minor and im kinda of scared about moving out for like college on my own because idk if ill be able to keep my spending habits in check.... like right now i still have my parents so i dont buy as much but im scared that once im on my own i will spend lots and lots of money. sorry to ask like this but do you maybe have a word of advice as someone that went through something similar? its fine if you dont and thank you ♡

i understand and i do sadly have to say that is what tripped me up. my addiction started when i turned 18 and all my savings, my parents' savings for me and everything was transferred to me. i was also going through a really difficult time and i had pretty much nothing to keep me going. not a great combo!

more than anything i'd say mental health is the basis of any addiction. if your mental health is low, you will be more desperate for the spike of happy brain chemicals that purchasing things causes. if you're overal content/happy in your daily life, those spikes won't be worth nearly as much to you.

i would recommend for you to work on your mental health the best you can! if possible i'd recommend therapy to help you out. self care is very important, it's a lot harder to feel good on 3 hours of sleep with greasy hair and half a cracker in your stomach.

if you have a family member or friend who you trust, ask them to help you budget! they can help you figure out how much you should save and how much fun spending money you'll have each month. money tracking apps can help a lot too. i downloaded one a while back during a phase where i was getting a few too many little treats and drinks and i needed to have a visual overview of the percentages i was spending on treats, bills, fun, etc.

i currently just use different "jars"/side accounts in my bank account app. i have one for the savings my dear parents saved for me for college or an apartment or something if this fuckass economy ever allows it (i do not touch these savings), my own savings from my salary (the goal is to grow these savings however i do touch them so that's not successful every month) and just my paying account (when i get my salary i leave a few hundreds in here and the rest goes into my own savings account). not sure whether everyone's bank apps have these options but that's just my current situation!

long story short; take care of yourself and your mental health and you won't be as vulnerable to addiction! don't be afraid to ask for help, now or later. if you ever notice that things might not be going too well financially, take action IMMEDIATELY! do not wait until you have a full blown addiction, tell your parents you're struggling with managing your money and ask if they can keep your savings safe on their accounts. go to therapy if possible. you are never alone! be kind to yourself and you will be fine!

[suresuresureaursure]

Not sure what name you mean, one I’m called by or one I identify as? I guess It’s ‘Jehovah’ for a literal name, ‘God’ for a title and ‘Jesus’ for one I relate to more

Honestly, Lucifer. I’m not a literal introject from the Bible but let’s say, more a hyperfixation on it haha. Me and Lucifer were close, (In any of our sources, honestly) he’s the only one who hasn’t introjected so I miss him.

Same as last one haha.

most people probably wouldnt consider this minor but I do, my morality I guess, my sense of right and wrong.

Hurting people is wrong (pain literally worked differently there haha) Keep being silly

Uhm….this ones obvious, since It’s literally the Christian Bible, there are a ton. Like flat earth, young earth creationism, being gay is wrong, etc etc. I think they’re stupid, but then again It is a book literally made to indoctrinate and control, So it kind of makes me feel like a cult leader haha

My Personality

Uhh, Maybe how I think about things? I had really thought out plans and organizing for how I make decisions, I guess I still have that and technically do think like that still, but I’m not sure they would work in every situation nor are fool proof (I was the literal GOD so I didn’t have to worry about that)

My Favorite color’s white

What’s my favorite color? White! Why? ‘The light was good’ DUMBASS! /hj

Eternal haha, I guess I havent really thought about It, but I dont remember/think about It as If I always existed, more like started and then always continued

not too sure, my job is to be cool I guess! (May not want to answer that question)

Satan! (Most christians reading this are gonna be sho-sho-shoKETH!)

technically I guess It affects me alot because people will take the Bible and try to justify hatred Against me, I mean I’m gay so … But on a level of how much I think about source I would say not so much, sometimes a little!

.

where did number 15 go??? It jumps straight to 16 for me. (Like I chose not to answer 15 because there was no question there???) I am very source connected. Me and cis/source Yahweh are very very broskis 👍 (lol I just realized cisyahweh can also mean like cisgender)

It’s a Religious book So I guess it’s socially Inappropriate to talk about that. How do I feel about that? BULLSHIT!! Ship me and Satan all you want host 😫😩❤️💋

sure! A bit. But I dont really try to align myself to it. Just because we’re the same I guess (tw kinda innapropriate joke?) also 10/10 would fuck him (source me)

what problematic thing?

My autosexual self Couldnt live without em

nothing!!! Im just another au of them ❤️❤️❤️����🫶🫶🫶

1: how I feel I should look 2: my thinking process, how I feel I should act 3: my emotions, interests, feelings, personality…4: my sexuality!!! 5: my gender. 6: pretty much everything lol!!……..im a boykisser *insert boykisser png*

Dude was kinda gay and kinda hot but he took that murdering too far 😨😨😨😨

nope!!

I dont.

The Nobleman or 양반 (yangban): The smiling face represents the bluff and composure that an aristocrat is often known to have. The chin is a separate piece from the top of the mask, and the actors can lean forward and back to make the mask smile or frown as needed.

This monk who abandons his doctrines, or 취발이 (chwibari): Chwibari was originally a monk, but he had no intention of joining the monastic order, so he came down to the world and wanders. Represented with a forehead full of wrinkles and spots.

The widow or, 부네 (Punae/bune): represented to be a widow, or a kisaeng ( a woman who sang, danced, or played an instrument to provide entertainment for company at a drinking party), or a mistress of the Yangban. She has a very small mouth, round cheeks and forehead- giving a general look of happiness good-humor.

maybe controversial take, but i like to think of erik being mostly a huge ladies’ man (look at all the bitches he gets canonically, he can’t NOT love the ladies) but charles is just...... this HUGE exception, lmfao. for a while he was totally oblivious to the fact that he was into charles like that but then one day it smacked him HARD across the face that their Very Special Friendship is actually romantic. he’s since embraced being a bisexual disaster but before charles he had no clue.

would be even funnier if erik and charles had already fooled around a couple times before erik actually realized he was attracted to him. who among us hasn’t fucked their completely platonic bro??

it cant be a controversial take if youre onto something my friend .....

i still love king trying to work with chalice undead spade and heart still numero uno saikou conbi

and tachibana and hajime having grown so close that hajime trusts her with his back and tachibana calls hajime friend

baying like a wounded animal

it probably is really embarrassing for an undead to see the joker a being of pure destruction and violence to be the one shirking their battle fight duties as if it wasnt eating your face off 10000 years ago

also hajime has gotten REALLY good at taking hits for other people since the show ended. he took a hit for makoto in bladeghost, and (naturally) for amane in zi-o too. wonder who inspired that....

mutsuki being able to feel the weather is a criminally underrated part of her character . do you perhaps have an achy knee of some sort. Though you are so young (i get it)

i want to see hirose programming and doing tech shit shit i miss the undead searcher sounds i want to see what modern BOARD is like and what they get up to when tachibana is in tibet. does hirose go with her? is she in charge on the ground in japan? She could do it anyway even without the official role but im sure she likes working on the technical end more than any stuffy official social nonsense

can you imagine being in the aisle for this i think i would just die

RIPPING OFF THE HOOD TO SCREAM "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HAJIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" LIKE I WONT JUST HAVE A HEART ATTACK AND DIE

AND WATCH HIM WIN WITH THAT 'NONSENSE'

Girl the ya.

hajime's link to humanity (amane) keeping him from jokerifying and mutsuki's link to the monstrous (hikaru) keeping him from getting his FUCKING ASS BEAT . It's peak. im actually rewriting my post about blade and the monstrous

which is also another reason why i dont mind this at all

"king form is dangerous and painful" my love

king saying "oh? did a normal human think he could use OUR POWER? i have the joker! everything you did was all meaningless!" and weird awkward unloved lonely kenzaki standing up against him saying no, the bonds we formed mattered. protecting one of his allies and comrades (and friends?) WITH the power he has from the undead. and then hajime echoing the sentiment!!

kenzaki standing far away here.......

this shit is so peak.

nvm

why are they staring at each other here (i know why)

they are in sync the WHOLE TIME since the fight STARTS

No matter what, we'll fight until the end!

To protect the people we hold dear!

this is what happened to happyele another blade is getting its ass beat in EVERY POSSIBLE LANGUAGE

Now tell me you believe this plaese

killing myself

the fact this was only possible bc they (and we) still love blade so much. Drives me crazy. not every series is so lucky so i will never take it for granted. i will be thinking of blade forever. squatters rights guarantees a home and i am soooo happy all the actors love it just as much as we do. the spirit of blade lasts forever.... may we all fight fate and win

Endeavor is almost a perfect allegory for what the society in the mha universe does to people who can't be heroes or use their quirks in a way to benefit society, which is cast them aside or pass them over without over giving them a second glance until uh-oh! Suddenly they're worth being noticed because they're a threat.

He apologizes to his family, which is good! If you're a bad person and did terrible things, the first step in your own transformation and atonement should be to acknowledge what you've done and to apologize to those you've wronged. Great!

Thing is, Endeavor set off a chain reaction with his abusive, neglectful and downright irresponsible choices that it damaged everyone in his family for life.

I don't think someone who causes one of their own children to literally go up in flames, crying because they're finally getting attention from their father and family in the very end, ever deserves to be forgiven.

Little Tally has been plodding around and she was trying to get into a box earlier and she later came up to me and stared at me expectantly then later tried to eat my plants again and just now she came up to sit next to me purring again and leaning into my pets

The medicine really is making her feel better I think. And it's really highlighting how bad she Has been feeling. Bc these are all very basic things, but she hasn't been doing it. Even up to her little walk, the plodding sounds of her footsteps... before today, she was moving so stiffly, an awkward little shamble, so I couldn't even really hear her when she got up (which was nowhere near as much as normal). Something as simple as hearing her drinking water is making me emotional. If she starts yowling tonight when I go to bed I really might just cry.

I really hope this keeps up... she's got just one more day of meds, but maybe it'll be enough... I hope so...

one thing abt being disabled/chronically ill that some people don’t get is that sometimes body maintenance that ensures you have the absolute minimum amount of function can also be something that takes away a lot of control and autonomy. you can argue till the cows come home that making those decisions to try and help yourself (or realistically to try to make sure things aren’t worse than they already are) is something that exhibits control and autonomy and stuff, but they can be so limiting in practice because they’re things that take up so much time but have to be done to do anything else
