okay so I feel like we've referenced intersystem sex and related kinks a bunch despite never talking about the basics so I'm just gonna say. no seriously get into bed with the other system, ask if they'd like to have a specific front you can help them bring out, or if they want you to make a special request. and just like. perceive. sex is perception sometimes. you know who's in front of you; put your hands on parts of their body that are physically there, and your hands on parts of their body that aren't physically there. look them in the eyes, talk to them, make sure that they know that you know exactly what it is you're holding. what it's supposed to look and feel like. it literally doesn't matter if the differences are tiny. it doesn't have to be blogger fan favourites like demon horns or paw pads or wildly different proportions. just sit there, smell their hair, and mumble out the colour you know it is, regardless of what their mirror tells them. That's sex.

Aro culture is giving two thumbs up to Natsu Hyuuga, the author of the Apothecary Diaries manga, for sticking to her guns in the storytelling department.

While being pressured by series fans & (even her own family members) to make the slow burn romance between the two leads more central to the plot & to "pick up the pace" between them, she's stated that she's more invested in writing the other plot arcs surrounding the characters and sees them as more pressing for their situation, as well as the overall focus of the story she wants to tell.

She's not abandoning the romance plotline, but she's open that it's not her priority and she's keeping to that.

A rare amatonormativity loss. Respect.

hi im assuming the us vs them post is about a specific term, which one would that be?

so the sysmed out-group term being referenced in the joke post was (as the reblogs guessed) "endogenic", and I'll lay our thoughts out straight just once to avoid being potentially taken the wrong way

I've got two angles here, existential theological linguistic bullshit, and harm-reduction. stay with me here because even if you're not on board with the first thing you'll want to see the second.

so "traumagenic vs endogenic" is a false dichotomy, and I don't just mean "there's a secret third thing", I mean both classifications are fundamentally not real.

personally? we haven't the foggiest idea why we're a system. but the thing is, I don't think anybody else does either - I think it's genuinely impossible to know why your own consciousness is behind your own eyes and controlling your own body, why you *experience* existing in first-person at all. Like shit, lots of singlets believe it's because a soul has been created or introduced to their flesh, and a bunch of others think that's a load of crap and the chemicals just *do this* on their own. Singlets get this unalienable right to believe whatever the hell they want about why they're experiencing being themselves all the damn time, and I refuse to believe that systems are uniquely special in a way that singlets are not such that anyone can fucking flawlessly divine the cause of our consciousness all of a sudden. These are existential-tier questions and to deny their impossible complexity and the right to self-belief over them is, in my eyes, to deny systems something many singlets feel is part of what makes them human.

You can believe all sorts of stuff about the nature of your own systemhood just like how you can believe all sorts of stuff about the nature of your own existence - that doesn't make you definitively right, it's just a meaningful mechanism through which you understand your own experiences that other people should respect - it's like any faith, go figure.

Frustratingly, these words - traumagenic, endogenic - they're not talking about belief, they're objective buckets actively being used for exclusion. So every time we use the term "traumagenic systems", in saying "systems that objectively exist because of trauma" we are saying, loudly, "it is possible to know why a system exists". and frankly? no the fuck it isn't.

Anyway that's airy bullshit and reflects very idealised interactions so - practical, realist opinions, and harm reduction:

Saying "I'm pro-endo" is a net good, though I think "I support all systems" is probably marginally better because it doesn't perpetuate categories pushed by sysmeds for exclusionary reasons as being essential to defining systemhood - as we joked about.

Contrastingly, self-declaring "traumagenic" or "endogenic" in a bio is a net bad. Saying "I'm a traumagenic system" also says "Hello sysmeds, I believe in your dichotomy and I'm one of the good ones" (great way to get sysmed followers), and that factor doesn't go away if you go on to say that you support all systems - you've already thrown away your opportunity to shield more vulnerable systems from harassment through making who sysmeds need to target more obscure.

In fact, regardless of whether your bio says to sysmeds "I am a target" or "I'm not a target", by saying it explicitly, you're pressuring other, more vulnerable systems to similarly self-declare. It's like cis people putting pronouns in their bio to shield trans people from harassment through obscurity and embarrassment, but in reverse - if you shut up about it, and *just* call yourself a plural system, even if you do believe in their categorisations, you stop the propogation of the self-labelling and exclusionists are forced to make themselves look like idiots because most of their harassment would have to be done at random. It's basically herd immunity - nobody talks, everybody walks.

anyway yeah there's context for future, though honestly the section in plural respect is a lot more succinct lmao

Is there an Agathario community here on Tumblr?

If there is, could I get an invite, please?

[our-afamspec-experience]

i have an afamilial headcanon to share: fluttershy from MLP:FIM

the reason being, is that we don't even know she has a family until season 6. compared to some of the other main characters; applejack, who's ALL about family; twilight, who talks about loving her brother; pinkie, who shows excitement towards her sisters; rarity, who takes great care and shows love towards sweetie belle; i don't recall ever seeing fluttershy show the same kind of affection or even talk about her family. in fact, she often shows annoyance towards her brother (zephyr breeze) and has low tolerance for him. while that can be explained by him just having an annoying personality, i'm taking the liberty of saying it's cuz she's afamilial and doesn't actually have familial love for him. she just finds him annoying, lol.

she probably feels that community feeling more from animals than she does her own blood relatives too.

i think a similar case for rainbow dash can be made, since we don't meet rainbow's parents until season 7 and she never talked about them... but i relate to fluttershy more so i can look deeper into her interactions

Nice! I honestly did relate with Fluttershy when I watched the show, and that honestly, kinda makes sense! =D
