You know what’s wild about being a fictive? Missing your old life even though it was shitty because it’s a shittiness you were used to. The life you’re living now is a new kind of shitty that feels unpleasant in a different way.

The way they call us “sysmeds” when most of us agree that self-diagnosis is valid. Because not having an official diagnosis doesn’t stop you from having the disorder.

We’re not against endos because they don’t have a medical diagnosis, we’re against endos because they’re claiming to be systems outside of the criteria of being a system. That, and they’re spreading misinformation about how systems form.

Using a term to try and compare us to transmeds, who are people who gatekeep being trans because “well you’re not medically transitioning” is really fucking stupid. Not to mention transphobic because you’re comparing being trans to having a mental illness.

Gender is a social construct. Mental illness, isn’t.

We’re not gatekeeping having mental illness, because the simple fact is if you don’t have the disorder, you just fuckin don’t have it. You can bitch and moan about wanting to be a part of the club all you want, but you can’t just decide to have a mental illness one day. Cry harder.

Hot take maybe, but “singlets shouldn’t have opinions on/be speaking on syscourse” is bullshit no matter which side it’s coming from.

You can’t really not have an opinion on whether a group of people is allowed to exist, especially if you’re interacting with people who are a part of that group at all. It’s a little like saying “cis people shouldn’t have an opinion on whether nonbinary genders are real” - yes they should??? And in fact they kind of don’t have a choice but to have an opinion, especially if they know even one (1) nonbinary person.

I get where this comes from - it’s an example of a thing the internet at large has done, where we’ve taken “people not part of X Group shouldn’t speak over people who are X when it comes to issues affecting X”, a reasonable and true statement, and turned it into “if you’re not part of X Group you can’t have an opinion at all about issues affecting X,” a statement that sometimes seems reasonable at first glance but usually falls apart the second you dig into it. And when it comes to syscourse, it really falls apart, because according to one side, the other side aren’t really systems anyway, so if you believe singlets shouldn’t speak on syscourse, then the words of endogenic systems are automatically void! Very convenient to be able to completely invalidate your opponent’s argument before they’ve even opened their mouth, purely based on the demographic you perceive them to be a part of.

(Which is, of course, often the point - “don’t involve yourself in syscourse” is often a thinly veiled “shut up and let me bully people in peace”, especially when shouted at someone who was involved in syscourse against their will. “Don’t involve yourself in syscourse” doesn’t work if, for example, the person “involving themself” is the admin of a server where people are arguing about whether the endogenic systems in the server should be allowed to call themselves that - they have no choice but to make a decision on how to moderate that situation, and “not involving themself” is just letting the sysmeds win by default. It’s the paradox of tolerance.)

Prompt:

Medieval Dragon Rider Au!

Jason is presumed dead after an assassination attempt on the king goes awry, leaving the young prince’s chambers a burnt a ruin.

The only thing that survives the fire is the prince’s dragon egg, passed on to the king’s newest charge, Tim Drake, after a mourning period. To the surprise of everyone, the egg hatches shortly after. “A sign of the dead prince’s approval”, it is declared.

But when Jason returns to attack Tim in revenge for taking his place, it’s on the back of one of the largest dragons the realm has ever seen.

And Tim’s dragon has only just become big enough to saddle a rider two months ago.

“You can’t enjoy being neurodivergent/disabled/having X disorder if it makes you suffer so much! How dare you be making jokes about it!!!” Well you see, your bad days only suck a little bit so you don’t appreciate the good days very much. My bad days suck so much worse, so I only appreciate the good days that much more to compensate.
