The whole transandrophobia discussion thing is weird bc it feels like it's a bunch of poc and jewish trans people being like "here are my experiences of how specifically being MASCULINE had affected me, and the discrimination and violence I experienced based on that. And here is how that relates to me being a racial/ethnic minority"

And then a few loud white trans people going "ohhh you wanna be oppressed so bad you *slur*. This is why there aren't any poc in your movement it's because REAL poc understand intersectionality"

I was tagged by @contrivedcoincidences6 to make my OCs this picrew!! Thank you for tagging me, I finally got it done lol!!!

Iseya Tabris: A headstrong and compassionate duelist/assassin rogue. Blunt, and sometimes vengeful, to those who show corruption, incompetence, or cross her; but endlessly kind to those in need. Absolutely did not want to get married, but always wore Nelaros's ring to honor his sacrifice and as a reminder (yes, I did full ass sacrifice a whole item spot for this in game the whole game). Iseya thought she would always sacrifice anything for her family and people, including her found family and her lover Alistair. She was prepared to die to stop the blight, and would have if not for Morrigan's offer.

*Hilariously I named my Warden years prior to the release of The Last Flight novel, but it really added a great element to her character.

Marian Hawke: A two-handy Reaver Purple Hawke who loves her family especially her sister. Even Gamlen grows on her after the death of her monther as she finally is worn down enough to see him better. Marian starts off as a confident sassy jokster who tries her best to make a new life, but as the years go on and she loses and lose and loses, her jokes become a coping mechanism. A mean streak also appears. By the end she's so tired and depressed that she doesn't even notice Anders pulling away from her. She spares and stands by him anyway because she needs this one thing to stay in her life.

*I just really like the default Hawke Names, I think they fit Hawke really well.

Shiren'ne Lavellen: A compassionate, kind, yet firm and decisive person, Shiren'ne prepared her whole life to become a worthy Keeper for her clan. Yet after she ends up with a new calling she takes it with stride, understanding her role in the world is now beyond just her people, but she always rebuffs being sent by Andraste and stands by her gods. Shiren'ne's favourite thing about the Inquisition was getting to know everyone and learn so much about other cultures and customs, and was always happy to share and demonstrate her Dalish culture (within reason). And although she had been so ready to be Keeper and she is Dalish to her core, after everything she knew she could never return and instead found a new quiet life with Cullen. Shiren'ne prefers slower ritual and practical magics and leans towards old nature and healing (I wish spirit healer had been a subclass), but is eager to learn about the fade, spirits, and the journey of ones soul after death, showing this by choosing vallaslin for Falon'Din.

*Took some research, but her name essentially means Voice of the Journey. She chose the name herself for her Valleslin ceremony as part of accepting and stepping into her role as First.

No pressure tag to @wolfwhisperertf, @the-nameless-nerd, and anyone else who wants to ❤️

Firstly, this is a long post about romanticizing and misinterpreting OCD. If you "ain't gonna read allat", MOVE ON. This is a topic I am very passionate about and willing to debate. Secondly, if you are an individual struggling with OCD or OCPD, I commend you and open my messages to you if you ever want to talk <3.

OCD - "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is characterized by unreasonable thoughts and fears (obsessions) that lead to compulsive behaviors... excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions)." [Google]

OCPD - "Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder is a mental health condition that causes an extensive preoccupation with perfectionism, organization and control." [Google]

Now that we have the definitions that anyone can look up on the internet so I'm not denounced, let's talk about the fact that romanticized OCD is just water downed OCPD.

Good afternoon.

We all have seen some person on tiktok or any social media saying "Oh my gosh, I'm so OCD lol" and they simply reordered their desk or something. And, depending on which side of the internet it falls on, the response will either be "OMG SAMEEE", or a long paragraph arguing how OCD is a real disorder and shouldn't be the butt on a joke.

Both are entitled to their opinions, it makes me no difference. And, from a 10 second video, I can neither confirm nor deny that the person has OCD, but I can firmly say that rearranging a desk is not a definitive sign someone has OCD. Too many people claim OCD or use OCD to degrade and invalid another, and not only are they mocking the very real and very destructive disorder, but the symptoms that they claim correspond with OCD are more commonly diagnosable in OCPD.

I'll admit, I was a part of the problem for longer than I'd have liked, but I corrected myself after researching OCD, OCPD and the contrast. Again, Google is free, and the definitions above come from there, so no one has to take my word.

Romanticized OCD is typically associated with perfectionism, over controlling tendencies, and habitual cleaning. There are cases of people without OCD claiming they want partners with OCD specifically for the reasons listed above. On the other hand, there are people who are separated from their partners for the reasons above and claim they couldn't handle their ex-partner's "OCD". While both parties are well within their right to these opinions, classifying these behaviors solely as OCD is where they are wrong.

True OCD is the act of appeasing reoccurring compulsions in order to soothe irrational fears or obsessions. Individuals with OCD often perform repetitive behaviors to ease intrusive thoughts (which are also romanticized in the media and mistaken for impulsive thoughts). True OCD is an anxiety disorder and is commonly aligned with GAD (General Anxiety Disorder). True OCD can and has included perfectionism, over controlling tendencies, and habitual cleaning, but it's because of irrational fears blown out of proportion that need the ritualistic acts to calm them.

True OCD is commonly labeled as crazy (which is universal for most neurological disorders), while Romanticized OCD is labeled as relatable. OCPD is never mentioned nor given its credit for being the true foundation of Romanticized OCD, and consequently, both True OCD and OCPD are backgrounded to Romanticized OCD.

Similarly to many other disorders, an individual can be obsessive and compulsive without having a disorder, and can have a controlling personality without having a personality disorder. Relating common behaviors to the severity of a damming disorder not only negates the intensity of said disorder, but can also lead to self-misdiagnoses.

I am, in absolutely no way, shaming self-diagnosed OCD, nor am I invalidating it in any way. I'm just a girl with Google and a scattered brain. This is me trying to present what I believe is true with evidence that is accessible by the masses. If you have any disagreement with what I've said, feel free to debate me publicly or privately. I am not prideful nor immobile to opposing opinions and factual information. And if I'm spreading false information, please check me.

i hate it when people have no media literacy and can’t form their own opinions… i don’t understand how you can’t form your own opinions and need to just copy and paste them from other people and if you wanna come on my blog and talk about shit you clearly know nothing about don’t even bother like pls just go back to reddit and leave me alone

[whoatemyshoe]

"just google it" "do your own homework" "google is free" "find it yourself the information is out there"

but they are. they are asking people who have that information, for the information. they are doing their homework by reaching out and asking people questions. just because it's not typed on a search bar, doesn't mean it's any less of putting an effort to finding things out.

like i'm sorry people in the past refused/ridiculed you when you asked them for help. doesn't mean you have to be like them tho. why is learning through human interaction rejected in favour of isolated learning?

[ancient-reverie]

does anyone else realize that white supremacy in america has also taken white people culture away from various different white cultures there used to be and made it into one conglomerate white person thing. like I can't look back into my ancestors and find any culture at all. and I can't really say that being american is much of a culture really it's just capitalism, and surviving that capitalism

[favroitecrime]

Same anon as the one asking for clarification on the ad. Please dont answer that one actually, I feel like that'll just open u up to more hate and I don't really think that's fair and I also realize it doesn't really matter as much as whats happening in rafah rn.

Hey! Odds of you seeing this are very slim given this ask lol but please don’t do this. You’ve every right to ask for an explanation, and while I’m probably not gonna be the best at providing one, I’m definitely gonna try because you’re owed that.

There’s lots to say about it but breaking it down, it’s ironic to air ads about threats of being bombed whilst you’re bombing an entirely different group of people. It also paints a picture that the “good Christian white man” is going to help his fellow believers and offer them shelter, turning it into a religious conflict when it’s not. Also, and I say this completely without offense so correct me if I’m out of line, but it just seemed so performative. Antisemitism & its rise must be called out, but I’ve never seen the US care about this (or any other form of prejudice towards marginalized communities) until now. It’s meant to make you feel sorry & feel bad, & to try to twist your understanding of why there “needs” to be a Jewish state.

This isn’t the best explanation by far, but I do hope I managed to highlight that campaigns like this, especially when funded by certain people (in this case zionists), will always have underlying intentions beyond what’s on the surface.

although its good that im very very gradually interacting with more ppl irl, it does leave me with the “new” practical dilemma of ‘is it worth coming out/correcting people in order to avoid being misgendered’

As someone who lived there for half my life i had a very old memory of seeing some kazakh kids play some sort of game w sheep knee bones that this post popped back into my memory

So i decided to do to look deeper into this

Asyk / Assyk [ɑˈsəq] ("eh sick") is a astragalus of the ankle of a sheep or goat that is used for many different things.

The astragalus referred to as here has several names between nomads nations but i will be to it's kazakh name bc i love my homecountry even if i dont know many things about it

They are used for playing traditional different games and are seemed to be the most popular in Central Asia and might just be the 1st dices that humans ever thrown!

They are over 80 different games that could be played with them that i honestly couldn't do justice by explaining them myself so i found this amazing article that explains it better than i ever could

Assyk also known to be one of the popular sports to be played during Naadam [ˈnaːdəm] which is a a traditional festival celebrated in Mongolia, Inner Mongolia and Tuva.

Assyk also also known to be used in fortune reading!

On top of it they are exchanged by Mongolians as tokens of friendship amongst each other and can be kept in little pouches!

Also wolves Assyk's seemed to be used as good luck charms amongst Mongolians! Although calcaneus is used instead of astragalus part of the ankle.

All of what i've mentioned seems to be used beyond the countries that i've mentioned so far as well! Sadly it was difficult to find more information about it online, but here's some of the miscellaneous stuff i've found out about them while researching!

Someone an ancient forum where a guy discusses how he made several Assyks for himself and some additional information i couldn't find anywhere else so treat it with a grain of salt.

There is also this photo of people playing Assyk game on ice on the website that mentions that this game of it was shot during EL international ice shagai competition that i couldn't find any info about online or managed to reverse image search to do the same

god forbid 5000 year old girls do anything

NOTES…

considering that angel was manifested from humans’ fear of angels, i want to play with the portrayal of a human non-human on this blog (re: the vehicle of the human body as means of existence and the accidental development of sentiments cheating the supposed machinery of flesh). in this light, gender of course is greatly obscured, and that, too, is something i’d like to play with on this blog. so! angel’s perceived gender identity is entirely up to your muse— (s)he&they pronouns are all equally welcome, and can be interchanged at any desire…

to draw back on this human non-human aspect of angel, i will be using it/its in place of pronouns (and, to be completely transparent, to reduce any influence on the pronouns your muse decides…) though if your muse also views angel as entity over person, feel free to also utilize the same ♡

degradation taken too far (mature content 18+)

context/warnings : it’s smut, so kids shoo! hell of a lot of degradation. they’re so mean i hate them. (swearing, words used : slut and slutty) angst to i have no idea what. pls do lmk if i missed any tws. and as always, its not proofread :p gojo ver.

ryomen sukuna ‘is that all you can do? all your yapping earlier about ridin’ me was just talks? answer me’ his sudden shift in demeanour has you feeling really small. sure he is a rude ass prick but not to you. never to you.

‘no- i can take it. i really can ryo’ tears sting at your eyes as you struggle to take in his full length. his hands giving your waist a small squeeze.

‘yeah and that’s all you’ve been saying for the past goddamn fifteen minutes. either you take it like a good girl or i’ll just have to find someone who will. trust me, i can’ he eyes held no remorse of the words he just spewed and that’s when you break.

correction, you shatter.

somewhere in the back of your head you knew he’ll never leave you but him wording it out makes it seem like it’s bound to happen.

and so tears stroll down your cheeks, your hands and legs giving out on you, your body going limp against his and you whisper the same thing over and over again.

‘don’t leave me ryo. i’m sorry. didn’t mean to upset you. i’m so sorry. don’t leave’

quickly his arms wrap around your body protectively, your face between his shoulder blade and neck, wetting the area with fresh batch of tears.

‘i could never leave you. you’re-’ you’re it for me. ‘you’re always the one that keeps me sane. there’s no way i’ll ever leave you. i’m sorry baby, forgive me. i didn’t mean a word of what i said’ he says.

when he didn’t get a response from you ‘look at me’ he whispers. slowly you leave the comfort of his neck and meet his eyes.

‘i didn’t mean it. you could leave me on deathbed and i still wouldn’t mean it’

‘i can’t leave you ryo. i love you way too much’ you sniffle, new tears threatening to spill so you go back to huddle against his neck.

god. he knows you mean it. and that’s what makes him feel like a dickhead.

‘me too, i- i lo-’ he struggles, just as your palm reaches up to cover his mouth.

‘i know ryo, i know’ you whisper, placing your forehead against his, both of you basking in the quietness of the surrounding.

geto suguru ‘fuckin-! ah shit! some insane grip you have on me baby. can’t move if you clench and lock me up like that’ he smirks against your neck.

‘and a bit quiet today ain’t ya? you sure had a lot to say to satoru earlier heh’ he remarks.

‘we were just catching up suguru, nothing-! nothing more’ you whine.

‘catching up you say? does catching up require smiles and touches? do they angel baby?’ he raises his eyebrows.

‘no..’ you avert your eyes away from his.

‘that’s what i thought. so for that, now you pay’ he pulls out suddenly, and pushes all the way back in making you yelp out loud.

‘sugu! ah fuck, i don’t think i can go another round baby. s’too much!’ the pressure was starting to get to you and you were starting to lose stability.

‘hah, i know you can baby, this slutty pussy’s all you’re good for anyway. fuck, doesn’t matter whose it is, as long as you’re filled. am i right?’ his words pierced straight through your heart.

since when did he-?

out of reflex, your hands reach out to touch his face to make sure that this was a dream nightmare. otherwise there’s no way he-

‘don’t touch me with those filthy hands’ he spits but makes no effort to push your hand off.

‘do you really think that’s all i’m good for?’ your voice is soft, filled with pain, and suddenly it’s like he’s broken out of his trance.

what the fuck am i doing, he thought.

slowly he pulls out, all whilst holding your hand against his cheek.

‘absolutely not. no. fuck, did not mean it angel. i promise. i- i don’t know what came over me-! didn’t mean it. please i’m sorry. next time if i ever lose my shit with you, i want you to take the nearest sharp object and plunge it into my chest’ he heaves out a guttural sigh.

‘you were really mean you know..’ you wipe your eyes.

‘i know baby, fuck. i didn’t mean it. i did not mean it. i’ll never do it again princess, ever’ he repeats.

his face lands on your chest, thanking all the gods and the stars out there for giving him another chance.

he’ll never screw up again and that’s a promise.

nanami kento ‘you really couldn’t wait for a few hours? just had to go and think with your cunt, right? have you no- ugh! no shame?’ his thrusts were sloppy as his hands were placed around your hips.

‘kento- slow down baby, i- i don’t think i can last’ you whine, hands clutching at the sheets.

‘no. you asked for this you little slut. so shut. the. fuck. up. and take it!’ each syllable was accompanied by a harsh thrust.

the usually composed, sweet and calm nanami was nowhere to be found. he’s never once called you a ‘slut’ and what caused this? you rubbing him through his pants and riling him up at his office dinner earlier tonight.

he warned you off multiple times but did you listen? no.

‘why are you so quiet now? i thought this is what you wanted’ his voice comes out raspy and cold.

a quiet but audible whimper escaped your lips, making him halt his actions.

slowly he pulled out, gently laying you on your back as your body shook with each sob.

‘sweetheart…? why are you…’

you look up at him, eyes puffy and swolllen ‘i’m sorry kento, it’s just that, you’re never home these days and i missed you so much’ a cry that’s sure to crack his heart leaves your lips.

‘i just wanted you all to myself for tonight but i didn’t mean to be a bother-’

his warm body hovers over yours, ‘you’re never a bother baby. always know that. you will always be at the top of every and any list i make. there’s nothing more i want than coming home to you everyday after work. and i didn’t mean to lash out at you. you didn’t deserve that, i’m sorry’ he leans down to press a kiss to your forehead.

‘you will always have me sweetheart, never forget that. now let me make it up to you yeah?’

For a second, I thought someone had jacked some plastiboo art. But this is either an application of filters or just a photo of an aged album cover.

The original looks like:

I can see why the aesthetic/soulsborne loving among us might enjoy the first pic better, but I think there's something charming to the visibly drawn lines on the armor and the vibrant color of the bird.

From a quick search, the artist may be Aussie Mr. Paul Pattie. Who may be the same Paul Pattie who did background animation for Disney shows like Darkwig Duck and The New Adventires of Winnie the Pooh.
