FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS!

Hii! This is the frequently asked questions post!

This is it for now but I might add more stuff if I keep getting more questions that I feel the need to include :D!!

Before everything, I recommend reading this post if you haven't already! I explain the basics of this AU there and that might have already answered some stuff :>!

This post is for both common questions I keep getting AND things I consider important that all of you know :D

PLS if you have any suggestions for things I should add to this post, tell me!

NOW FOR THE QUESTIONS:

Leaving the link to the theory I'm talking about here! I think this is where I first saw it????but I can't be sure,,,,,

(I really liked it when I saw it, I thought it would be fun to experiment with it in this comic hehe)

Not to be rude but I think it's quite silly to say OP's religious beliefs are irrelevant, and cannot be referenced, because they are not explicitly mentioned in the post being reblogged, when op has stated directly that they are homophobic because of their religious beliefs, and the post being reblogged is being accused of homophobia. Like, if some guy made a post saying "I think no women should be able to have jobs because that makes them less dependent on men and therefore I can't get a girlfriend", then made a separate post saying "Media nowadays glorifies women having jobs too much!! Stay at home mothers need more representation!!!" I think it would be extremely relevant in that situation to say, "Ok, this guy has clearly stated biases in this conversation, which calls into question whether this post is REALLY just about representation in media or whether it's indicative of OP's real life agenda." (Not trying to conflate religion with being an incel here btw, just giving an example of another time when knowing more information about the source of the post changes the way you might interpret it.)

The person reblogging that post didn't just say "OP's username is religious so I'm going to read this as homophobic!!!", they linked a specific post in which OP directly stated "My religion prevents me from accepting LGBT people, and I use my religious texts to justify why being LGBT is wrong." How is that not relevant context for their post griping about how fandom makes everything gay?

Ooh, let’s work within your hypothetical!

Some guy is being misogynistic on their blog but then makes a valid post about how stay at home mother’s don’t get enough representation in media.

If the post that says “stay at home mothers should get more representation!” says absolutely nothing about how women actually shouldn’t ever get jobs, then it’s a good post about the validity of mothers we choose to stay at home and how they deserve more representation in the media! There is therefore nothing wrong with reblogging and agreeing with the post, and going into the reblogs of that post to tell everyone “how hard is it for you to just look at their url and blog and realize they say other stuff that you DON’T agree with?” would be kinda rude.

Reblogging a post boosts the signal on what was said in that post. It doesn’t subscribe you to that person’s entire belief system.

Furthermore, the original poster, Gracie, says very very little about that topic on her blog to keep from offending anyone. I’ve never seen her try to force her beliefs onto anyone. She’s super respectful while also believing, as her religion states, that her God is the one true God. This is a belief claim about a system that would therefore according to her beliefs apply to everyone, but she isn’t forcing anyone to agree with her. The post that was cited in that reblog in which Gracie says explicitly her beliefs regarding the LGBT community and scripture was in a response to an ask that was sent to her. She didn’t even volunteer the information, someone asked her for it, and she replied honestly. I have never seen Gracie be anything but respectful, and if you knew her, you’d know she’s super kind and never would want anyone to feel invalidated or uncomfortable because of something she posts.

No one, including Gracie, is forcing you to agree with her religious beliefs. If they make you uncomfortable, I highly recommend not scrolling through a Christian blog. When people are reblogging her post, they aren’t even necessarily saying they agree with everything she’s ever posted. That topic is entirely separate. If you want to converse civilly with Gracie about why she believes what she believes, I recommend being respectful to her. If you’d rather ignore her all together, I point you towards the block button.

If somebody’s religion or belief system makes you uncomfortable enough that you don’t want to engage with any of their content, that’s your choice, but the people in the reblogs aren’t being “dumb” for not “checking who the source is,” they’re just saying they agree with the post they agree with.

Imagine agreeing with a post you agree with! Novel concept.

In short, posts are independent pieces of text. Reblogging a post doesn’t say anything except “I agree with this piece of text and want to share it.” If that piece of text doesn’t say anything about OP’s religion, then their religion isn’t relevant to the post. It’s as simple as that.

I hope you have a blessed day <3

Here's the coloured version of my oc Maggots I made months ago but never got around to posting :)

Rambling under the cut (pretty much me just clarifying something)

Ok so I have had this coloured version of Maggots done for a while now and it's what I sent to @belleroseloungecorner for our art trade a couple months back as a colour reference (They're drawing of Maggots is super cute btw if u haven't seen it!). The only reason I wanted to say this is bc I didn't post this coloured version at the time of the art trade and wanted to clarify that I did choose the colours for the character just in case someone thought Belle Rose made the colour scheme up themselves and I stole it or that they made up a colour scheme for the character against my wishes. I don't know if this is something anyone has noticed or even cares about but I still thought it was worth clarifying just in case

I can’t get behind zolu as any ordinary romance because like…would they die for each other? Yes, absolutely. But luffy is also aroace as hell, and so I think if they’re in any sort of relationship it’s a qpr. But zosan has me by the fucking jugular, I think because I love the interesting dynamics they both have with gender and put them together and they’re two dumbasses with weird-ass genders. Like I eat that shit up.

I AGREE its so crazy how zap gags weren't a thing.... like TTCC really popped off with that one! i understand TTR is moreso sticking closer to the way TTO was but WOW zap just feels so natural with a REALLY good mechanic that uses strategy in using squirt and its just so good.... also my favorite track

YEEEPP!! That's how I feel about it. Squirt and zap just mix well together. I also think the addition of an 8th gag track was also a good move, allowing for a nice rotation of combinations (like how lure-trap and throw-drop are together as a combo). And also its a nice even number. I also think it helps utilize squirt, idk just feels good to do in general. Of course, I don't really have anything to compare this to and it's just me speaking as a player of (currently) one server, so take what I say with a grain of salt.

It's my favorite too, zap warriors UNITE!!

IT WAS ZITI NOT PENNE WHOOPS

So I’ve gotten a few asks recently regarding two of my characters, Vesper and Caligo (The MC’s mentor), and they were admittedly quite invasive as well as a bit rude so I just want to take the time to clarify something.

Both Vesper and Caligo are non-binary.

They aren’t “hiding their actual gender” or “trying to appear more mysterious/harder to figure out” (as some asks have implied).

They are just non-binary. There is no hidden meaning behind it or anything. Characters of any sexuality or gender identity are allowed to just exist without any particular reason - just like people do in real life.

Neither one of their gender identities is up for debate and I would prefer if people didn’t “theorize” about it.

If you can’t respect that then please just avoid both this blog and playing either one of my games.

initially this post had some commentary about interests right now. and then it turned into a ramble about personal healing in the tags. so the interest post is going separately.

Sup y'all. Where would one start when looking into the possibility of one being autistic... Asking for a friend...

[lyraeon]

I wish I knew who or what or when caused setting even obvious boundaries or expressing even slight disapproval to feel like cruelty to others any time I attempt to do so.

fine line by harry styles as dick grayson & jason todd

just hear me out :

"Put a price on emotion I'm looking for something to buy You've got my devotion But man, I can hate you sometimes

I don't want to fight you And I don't wanna sleep in the dirt

Test of my patience There's things that we'll never know

We'll be a fine line We'll be a fine line

We'll be alright"

[horrorwebs]

the sweetest compliment ive been given was yesterday when my friend told me "if i ever kill you its not because i hate you, i dont hate you. it'll be because of one of my schizo episodes" bdbbfbfbfbgb

Eros here!! Before you go “woh! updated intro!” let me tell you that’s not what this is.

Until further notice, all activity on this blog will stop (save the post i’m going to make after this as just s general “hey. this is here”.) It’s not that I’m quitting Tumblr completely, i love it here, the rest of my blogs will still function as normal!! I know interaction is quite frankly a really stupid thing to worry about on Tumblr of all places, but alas.

This blog isn’t nearly getting as much attention as I wanted it to. And as much as it’s great to pull the Twitch strategy of “oh, just act like people are watching, so when someone is, you’re prepared”, when you spend so much time creating content on something you enjoy and are passionate about, just to get at least 0 notes, at most maybe some likes and a reblog, it takes a toll.

I’ve been on Tumblr for a while. Don’t get me wrong, I know that likes, reblogs, comments, followers, and whatever else really should not matter. But for me it’s really been making me have doubts; is the content I make not good enough? Do I need to improve it? Do I need to make more of it? So on and so forth.

If this blog starts getting more traffic, then I will go back to posting. But right now, it doesn’t look like it will. So, until that happens, I will no longer be using this blog until further notice, as I mentioned before.

i hope they change dispel arrows at some point,, i feel like they need a serious buff? i was hunting a proudhorn with two other people and we all had dispel arrows (which we used the entire time - no one switched to fine), and that thing was still teleporting... took us from statue garden all the way to the flooded wall... i'm okay with the dispel arrows stopping the magic for a short amount of time and not forever, but they literally felt useless the entire time. i get that they want us to hunt them together and the dispel arrows being too beefy would encourage solo hunting them but like,,, they shouldn't feel useless???

i read your tags on that one post and it's insane how close our experiences were. im certain it was a different trans woman but i had the EXACT same experience with a man-hating transphobic autistic sex pest trans woman who was afraid of being treated like a predator but was fine treating other people the same way. you're not the only one who's suffered this way and im glad you were able to get out of there too

While I do appreciate the support from this ask (and this is not meant with any aggressive/mean/etc tone toward you at all!) I do want to be very, very, clear; I would not describe my ex friend as a sex pest at all. Not even necessarily "man-hating," either, though she definitely had a gender essentialism issue she needed to deal with. I'm not comfortable going into detail but not only did I not have a single sexual experience with her, there are only two incidences I was made to feel sexually uncomfortable around/by her specifically, it was at worst a miscommunication issue. But really it was just sometimes you do or say something that accidentally makes someone uncomfortable but doesn't necessarily cause harm. That's how I feel about those instances, though in the context of all their other behavior, was still by virtue uncomfortable and something I would've liked to hold them accountable for (though AGAIN, not because I feel they were being sexually predatory, this is just a very nuanced situation)

The situation and relationship I had with both of them was very, very nuanced. I'm still struggling over how to identify certain things and processing the sheer amount of shit I was put through; but at the end of the day, most of the harm was perpetuated by her partner, my ex best friend. She was absolutely not innocent, and did blatantly cross and ignore my boundaries and made me uncomfortable frequently, but I can confidently say it wasn't sexual. Neither she or her partner are sex pests or sexual predators or anything like that.

Now that that's out of the way! Genuinely thank you for this ask. I'm deeply sorry you had a similar experience and it's very reassuring to hear I'm not alone lol. It's not something I always feel comfortable talking about, as I don't want to invite terf rhetoric painting trans women as inherent predators, but also there's been this idea in certain queer circles recently to "combat" that rhetoric (which only ends up spewing the same man-bad, woman-good gender essentialism but in a trans "INCLUSIVE" way) by saying that somehow trans women are incapable of doing wrong which is just as damaging (and isolating to any kind of victim of harmful behavior). In reality, your identity, your background, etc etc does not exempt you from nor does it make you more susceptible to harming others. You can cause harm no matter who you are, and that's why I constantly stress the fact that the issue I have with my ex friends is not just their treatment of me; but the fact that neither of them truly held themselves accountable or WORKED on their behavior at any point and in fact enabled each other's behavior toward me. I have never pretended to be a perfect friend but I know I tried my damndest every single day to communicate clearly and effectively what I would do better (not JUST when an issue arose, but ACTIVELY worked on myself even while things were "good") and what I needed and expected of them. I was instead met with blatant disregard for my comfort, my time, and again my boundaries. They did not give a shit about me, just what I could do for them. And it's isolating as hell when the people who hurt you are also trans themselves. Especially when they fear judgement and persecution just for being trans (or their disorders!), while in the same breath doing exactly that to you. I'm glad you were able to get out of your situation as well, thank you again for this ask.
