Well, first of all:
my name is ellis. i used to run a blog about politics in my home city. that's my main account, so this is an alt.

friends call me ralsei. you can call me ralsei too! i don't mind
we're all making it up as we go along
i'm a transfeminine, non-binary piece of shit that posts about anything I guess
i live here now, and have migrated my work persona onto linkedin
i AM kita ikuyo. i AM kita ikuyo. i am Kita Ikuyo. 私は喜多郁代 www 来た! さあ、行こう!
my profile pic is by @sadbocchi!
what will you find here? idk um. bocchi. succession. mcr destiel. yuri. yaoi when my partner likes them. uh whatever.
my partner is a big fujoshi/fudanshi and loves shipping men so watch out
I’ll try to reblog any yaoi my partner likes (spn, 9-1-1) with #the yaoi my partner likes to talk about so you can mute that tag
i am reblogging your posts. i am in your walls. i am reblogging your posts
this isn't actually going to be mainly a deltarune blog; i haven't played in a while. but i got into the game as I started transitioning, and I thought ralsei was a cool and relatable lil goat. i love her!!!

Entry 01...
I stayed so they can leave.
Hadal Blacksite, post lock-down. I... I don't know the time. There's no way to tell time down here. But with any luck I can try to keep track of... something... with this tape recorder I found. I hope I can find enough tapes to last me...
This is Dr. Carrie.... Alena Carrie... it feels weird to say my name anymore, after so long being called Z-909. Maybe if I keep it here, I'll be able to remember it for later. Later when... when I...
When I am no longer me.
Right. Right why I'm down here. That would be important *nervous chuckles.* They sent me down here, me and another expendable. We were supposed to set up a bomb to wipe out the black site and the subjects located here. End the breach, once and for all. But....
But I couldn't. I've spent so long looking over these files, pouring my time and work into these projects. They're living things. They're just... living things, and they do not deserve to pay for the mistakes Urbanshade has made. I dismantled it. But now I'm stuck here, too. How fitting... now that I've been turned into one of them. With my own research too, no less.
There's so much to explain...
I can't let them know who I am.

Things I’ve done this week that have helped with my depression/anxiety just a lil
Started journaling
Bought cute art supplies including smelly markers and erasers that look like astronauts and spaceships (and then I actually used them!)
Used some of my stickers!!! Big one for me as I tend to just let them sit in a drawer forever
Talked to an old friend
Made plans with said friend
Revisited old fandoms
Joined new fandoms
“Redecorated” my blog to match me more
Stopped doomscrolling on tiktok (still use it but im limiting my time on it by like 500%)
Bought the Magic Treehouse Bookset so that I can reread some of my favorite childhood books
Started washing the dishes every night before I go to sleep (no I’m not kidding about this one)
Doodled
Shared some of my writing in public
Bought cute art to decorate my home
Singing and dancing again. Even when I suck at it super bad.
I’m not gonna lie. I hadn’t realized just how much I was hurting myself by just… giving up on my hobbies. But to find that they were always there, waiting for me with open arms is fantastic. I’m thinking I’ll try playing video games next! My animal crossing island and my stardew valley farm have been neglected for too long.
And @holdnarrytight I can’t wait to see you soon 🫶🏽💗

love all the archival work! one question, sometimes (indeed most times) when i google certain quotes to find the source article, google cannot find anything. this quote from vale for example:
"In 2014, I and the others were "bombarded" with questions about Marquez. So I understood even more what my opponents must have felt in the past, because a rider never wants to talk about his rivals. It's also true, However, this is how the world of sport goes: people want to hear about the number one. Marquez now has the same media pressure that I had in the past."
the screenshot you provided is very clear and yet i cannot trace the words to anything whatsoever! and unfortunately this has happened enough times that i kind of have to ask… should i use a different search engine? or are there journal archives your frequent? and no hurries whatsoever i know this is a big ask… but i would appreciate any help!
oh this one's quick to answer haha I didn't even need to consult my notes - the article's here! the reason it doesn't come up immediately in search engines is that the original article was in italian, so I just threw the first sentence into google translate and. voila
I try to stick to the habit of providing sources and if I made that ranch post now, I would have properly put a list of sources at the bottom of the post lol. if you can't find a quote through a search engine, it's going to generally be for one of the following reasons:
the quote is from an article in a different language, typically italian or spanish (the german publication speedweek also gets used semi-regularly)
the quote is from a book, which I DO try to be extra diligent in providing a citation for that reason
the quote is from an article that is no longer available on the internet. it might be in my notes because I copied it there and, if I'm smart, I will have made sure I can still access the article using the wayback machine (which is sometimes what I use to find things in the first place). if I'm not smart, then my doc becomes the last reservoir of lost knowledge I suppose
the quote is transcribed from a video/podcast
I should also say that my notes aren't perfect since... well, most of them have existed a lot longer than me starting to blog on tumblr about motogp. there is just stuff I'll quickly pull from my lil mind maps or whatever when I post, which is where the 'being too lazy to give a source' thing sometimes comes in. when it's english language articles I'm not too bothered because I know people can find it pretty quickly with the use of a search engine if they are thus inclined; with the other stuff I'm trying to be more diligent. but yeah, unfortunately for three of those there's no great fix - the language one is the only one I can recommend. which, btw, if you're looking to do your own motogp research, this one is absolutely invaluable. there is a lot of stuff I've only found because I started searching for stuff using italian and spanish keywords. hope that helps!
#the different search engine thing can make a massive difference btw but usually only when you're going really deep into the archives#like sete era stuff makes you completely lose faith google. but if you're interested in marc era that's easy mode#given how many articles i take from italian and spanish sources i do think (1) accounts for like. most of these#(3) is obviously extremely not ideal but well. here we are#//#brr brr#batsplat responds#there is one 2009 interview from casey where he's so OBVIOUSLY in a bad mood and it's just hit after hit against europeans#and i only have access because an unrelated article linked to it so i could use the wayback machine#and it's like. to me it's a top five casey interview like it genuinely makes me giggle every time#the thought i might not have it in my life... stop deleting things omg

Okay this is just a neat lil vent post. So the rest is just me rambling about random things.
Okay I’ve warned you and you’re still reading for some reason so uh hi. My brain’s just been a little too loud for me recently. Ah I guess I can talk about my blog lore. The reason I created this was when I was going through an existential crisis and just needed an outlet. And rambling about shows helped. So now when my mind is too loud I tuck into this tiny corner and wrap myself up in happiness. It’s sorta comforting. I’ve never been good at writing in a journal but for some reason just typing like this helps. Puts my mind at ease and lets me rant about my interests. It’s calming.
Been listening to the song alive by rose on loop for the past few days cause I need the stimulation and no other noise was working. On a side note I only found the song a few days ago as well. It’s nice. Kinda reminds me of the Christian music I heard as a kid. Side note: I grew up Christian, now though I don’t really believe but still view it as part of me. Even if I can’t believe old habits and mindsets remain. it's a comfort i miss but not one i find myself regaining. not yet anyway
on another note i get sick when im stressed. or overthinking. or both. stress now makes me physically ill so ive been trying to find ways to stop that from happening. the way it makes me ill is typically me vomiting. so now im trying out meditation. it seems to help a bit but maybe i should do it more to decreass my stress sooner then letting it build up. i guess i just need to get more used to it. calming myself. not tensing as much.
ah im compiling a list of dramas i watch with detective in the name. i love my detective dramas so i find it fun. now, not all of these i have watched yet but they match so: (^w^) hehe~ anyway: zombie detective, vampire detective, ghost detective, insect detective. so many with similar titles and i love them. my roommate is a detective is also in the list but i want to do the most similar titles first and then extend it. ah i love zombie detective so much. and vampire detective has a beautiful team who protect each other to hell and back and i am here for it. man i need to finish that show.
ah im feeling better so i shall get going for now. Have a wonderful day/night!

Syscovery timeline for my own reference but posting here too in case this helps other ppl (tw for vague mention of trauma and self harm)
Early childhood stuff blah blah trauma etc. etc., I’ve experienced dissociation for as long as I can remember, and even though it’s not something I’m aware of experiencing now, I know that I did have full blackout amnesia a few times in my childhood with others taking over (I know of this happening because there were consequences)
Middle school I remember being aware of Navy fronting and getting very scared. I did a lot of like… stuff to myself with the goal of behavioral modification (keeping journals of the day’s events and self harming as consequences of unwanted actions). EDIT: To be clear, Navy was not doing the self-harming stuff. I was scared of him because his presence made me feel out of control, and “self-training” was our (Red and my) deeply unhealthy way of trying to avoid that feeling.
I think this may be when Red came about because to our knowledge she was an abuser introject and persecutor. This was also around the time I stopped seeing childhood abuser regularly. I felt like I was being guided in punishments to keep us safe.
Red was a constant presence throughout high school but only fronted in emergency situations. She was usually like… on my head talking to me and she looked like a little bunny. I thought that she and Navy were just one guy.
Late high school I became aware of Navy and Red as separate but I have no idea how. Lol. I just remember we all decided on name designations (mine is teal). I know I was aware of them because I remember drawing them and talking to them.
College was extremely lonely and we had very clear communication during this period. We felt it was very unsafe for Navy to be near front but we all needed an outlet so we started a vent blog lol. This is notable because it’s something concrete I can look back on.
I will mention that even though we were online we told no one, reached out to no one, and did not know what plurality was. I have no idea if it was really being discussed around this time? Which was like. 2013. I thought they were just really, really vivid imaginary friends and that I was a lil freak for having them.
Mid way through college we had a really intense period of dissociation. I think we experienced a split and the person fronting during this time did so for like a year and a half. It was very, very confusing. I distinctly remember the moment of returning to my body and after that the memories of that whole period kind of blurred so I don’t remember a lot of it. We still don’t know who that guy was and I don’t know if he’s around anymore. Like maybe we split and then re-fused together? Is that a thing idk
After this communication with others was really low. And after a while I kind of just. Disconnected from the memories of them. And had no idea I had forgotten anything.
I learned that plurality is a thing like. Very recently. I’ve known about DID for a long time but it clearly does not match my experience and I had thought that was the only way plurality could manifest.
Met some systems and memories slowly began to unlock as we talked to them about their own experiences
Realized that the reason certain characters we were roleplaying as felt so cathartic was because they were… Navy’s! That’s his guy. Our guy. Whatever. (I’m talking about Big Boss Imp).
Been really back and forth on denial about it. And we find that if we talk about certain things we will start feeling weird and disoriented. But!
We learned about PDID and ever since seeing that we feel a lot more. Legitimate. Like we are allowed to be this. Because there is a diagnosis that feels like it fits our experience. Not that it’s even a diagnosis in the US and thus not something we could actually seek! Lol. But since then it feels like I’m ��allowed” to talk about it more.
(I am not saying that you need a diagnosis to talk about experiences. I am saying that our?? Gatekeeper?? I guess?? Really did not like us talking about it, but since making that discovery it feels like it’s a lot easier. That’s what I mean by “allowed.” Lol)

Hiii I hope this is not intrusive, but I made a lil expedition in your blog and couldn't thing any post in wich you talk how you balance your life as an scientist while being chronically ill. I'm chronically ill myself (myalgic encephalomyelitis) and plan to be a doctor in a handful of science areas, but the amount of time I have to study per day is way bigger than I can afford with the fatigue and mind fog (adhd is also in the soup). It would be a wonder if you could share some tips and experiences if ya don't mind :) hope you've been doing ok
Thanks for asking! I've actually been trying to figure it out again for myself, so I'm not sure if I'm any help here because it is SO hard to balance work and life and being chronically ill. I also have ME/CFS in my alphabet soup of diagnoses, so I understand the struggle! I guess I could just talk about what I've done since getting sick? Maybe you can gleam some wisdom from it? I'm definitely not a doctor or an expert, but I can try to help! (sorry, this gets long...)
I got sick right after I got accepted into grad school but right before school started, so I had a lot of trial and error trying to find out what worked. And grad school is hard. It's always going to be hard. But grad school with a chronic illness was a new kind of hard and when I tell you I wanted to drop out at least once a semester... I think the biggest things that contributed to me sticking around to graduation was: I was working full time in the lab at the university so was already planning on doing part time class work, my classes were (mostly) online (more on that later), and my boss/master's advisor's wife has a lot of health issues too, so he's been super sympathetic and flexible with my reduced energy and increased brain fog.
For school, I did not have accommodations my first semester but did get them set up for either my second or third semester. Most of my classes were online because my degree was mostly online and it was during the part of covid when people...cared. But I did have a few in person classes that I worked with my professors to make sure I had access to zoom when I couldn't make it in person--that's probably harder for med school, but it might be worth asking for! Other accommodations were with a case-by-case extended deadline, extra time on exams, small snacks and water in class and exams, and being able to put my feet up in class. I tried to get an accommodation for an index card of notes for brain fog, but the school required more hoops for something like that so I didn't go for it, but it might be worth at least asking for.
For work, I'm currently in a weird place where we moved away from the university for my husband's job, but I was still able to finish my thesis remotely, and I still work for the lab--just remotely and part time. I help with journal manuscripts and putting together experiment sheets right now. But I probably do need to find a new position sooner than later. I'm currently looking for positions with the state health department because I know they do more remote work than my local health department. I'm also hoping when/if I do get a new job, that I'll be able to get accommodations for a more flexible schedule--including less required in person time if possible--and possibly trying to be part time. My big thing is I *can* work, I just need to be able to recline and turn the lights down/off which is hard to do in an office or lab setting. When I WAS still in person and full time at the lab, my office was just shared with me and a coworker/friend who was totally fine with me turning off the lights in the office and working in the dark. We also had an extra table that was supposed to be used for other computers/laptops and paperwork and stuff, but I used it to lie down on after being in the lab for extended periods of time. When I was in the lab, some of the labs got really hot, especially under all the PPE, so I found spraying my gown and gloves with the ethanol helped to promote some evaporative cooling to keep my heat intolerance in check. I found that communicating with my coworkers and supervisors about when I needed breaks or accommodations was super helpful. Working with SARS-CoV-2, we were in Tyvek suits and PAPRs in a sectioned off portion of the BSL-3 lab, and I'd often overheat in there, so I made sure I was going back with a lab partner and took regular breaks to leave the SARS2 room, take off the PAPR, and get some air for a minute and rest.
Like anything with ME/CFS, pacing is going to be the hardest but most important part to figure out. And science requires a lot of mental exertion, so even if you're "just" reading papers or running data analysis or whatever, taking regular breaks and taking it slow is really important. Some school disability resource centers have screen readers you can borrow, and if reading becomes difficult, it may be worth asking if you can get one so you can listen instead.
I'm not sure how it works with med school--I had originally planned to do vet school eventually, but I got distracted by research and public health so went the MPH route, but planned to go to vet school eventually until I got sick. But I know vet school class schedules are super strict and take a lot of time and I don't know if I'd be able to adapt it, so I'm not trying too hard to get to vet school anymore, but I think it'd definitely be worth having a conversation with your professors, the doctors you'll be working with, and the disability center at your school to try to figure out what the best way is to get things done without making yourself any sicker. Find ways to reduce stimulation and symptoms while you're working so hopefully you need fewer major breaks--for me, that's things like managing my orthostatic intolerance by reclining/putting my feet up/lying down/staying hydrated/staying cool and then also reducing light--either turning the lights off or using light sensitivity glasses (I used my HSA to get Avulux/Axon glasses and they work really well but they are expensive so going with a cheaper brand if you have any light sensitivity probably works just fine too!). I know some people benefit from noise filtering and use Loops. Mobility aids are a life saver. I didn't apply, but my university had a limited amount of electric wheelchairs and scooters they could lend to students every semester, if you don't have a mobility aid that works for you yet, it might be worth checking if you school has any available. Really just doing anything you can to keep symptoms down while you're studying and researching can help keep you functional longer, and that's kinda been what I've managed to do. I've straight up brought heating pads to work/class and the only comments I usually got were either 1) "are you okay?" or 2) "Oh, that's GENIUS," so don't be afraid to just...do what you need to do and use what you need to use! I hope something here helped?

introduction:
hello...! we're the somniative sect, a pluralpunk chimeric traumaendo + creagenic system. we're 23 irl, and diagnosed schizoaffective. we have dissociative symptoms that we're discussing currently with a therapist and psych soon in case they're diagnosable since they do cause us struggles, but overall we believe that plurality can be a wonderful experiece of internal teamwork and partnership, and we accept systems of all types + dislike harassment.
our main poster is reva (they/it), a facet of sammie (she/he) who is a frontstuck median with a few other facets who we'll be doing intros for too.
here we'll generally be posting about ourselves in a journal-y manner, posting about system and alterhuman stuff, and maybe some fandom content thrown in.
content warnings + discourse opinions:
we dont tend to tag for triggers so be warned that there is a blanket content warning on this blog for possible discussion of irl trauma of multiple types (incl. sexual assault/rape, of which we r a survivor of multiple instances), irl homelessness (also a survivor of this), hard drug recovery (we r sober now) as well as potential discussion of hard kinks like consensual nonconsent. due to the amount of subjects such as these, as well as general personal preferences, we prefer that minors do not engage with us.
we believe that as long as you're not actively trying to &/or actually causing harm to ppl then you're fine to do as you please. we are profiction/proship, pro-endo, anti-harassment, anti-terf, anti-sysmed, and pro-para + anti-contact for harmful paras.
it is your choice whether you follow us or not, so if we dont want you interacting with us we will simply block you. thanks for understanding..!!

random update
so after years of listening to the same album on their bandcamp over and over as a comfort space, i finally bought it. so here i am listening to it & getting nostalgic about my time on the net so far.
tldr, cant sleep so here's a life update
like many of us, i have art accounts and social media accounts strewn across the internet and after logging into em all, i feel compelled to post here to try n get the sleepy times a rollin'
'on the previous episode of lamp-guitar's life'
starting from the top, the end goal has always been to make a career out of my art/hobbies. and after 7 years of working at the same office as a graphic designer and saving up money, i have afforded myself a reprieve from suburban corpo drudgery and credit card debt.
world events or not im making what i want to make
and what i want to make at this point in my life is a few graphic novels, some video games and at some point in my later years, a bakery.
i dont think i lead a diogenes lifestyle, but maybe coming from a poor-ish childhood, i know that as long as i can keep creating, i can live any life and die without regrets. dramatic i know
rn i am focusing on video games as i feel i can do that with my current capabilities. so yeah this is me, updating my lil ol blog. ive developed a steady irl journaling habit & am hoping to add posting on here to that habit- so until next time!

warning! Weird Cat(?) ahead
just gonna put a blanket unreality warning. just. just in case.
hi! im moss, my pronouns are they/them and mu/mur/murs, and i travel allll over the place. here, there, some other places as well, sometimes nowhere at all! this blog is.... not exactly a travel journal, but a place for me to put my thoughts on the various realities i find myself experiencing. so.... i guess, sort of a travel journal. uh.
expect memes, slightly panicked summaries of where i am and wtf just happened, mildly rant-y grumblings abt my plan(s) going awry, and maybe even the occasional picture! ....and a lot, i mean a LOT, of reblogs. (tagged #rebog. bc i think im funny.)
i don't usually travel with people, but i'll give them lil intro posts of their own if/when i do. those will be tagged with.... #companion lore!
i'll try to tag most of my posts with the place they're from, but my memory is a bit wacky, so i can't promise it'll be super consistent.
likewise, let me know if you need me to tag anything else, and i'll do my best!
[[ OOC UNDER CUT ]]
my tagging system is a lil.... odd, so. just a heads up- anyting past the #[ ooc divider ] tag is OUT OF CHARACTER. everything in front of it.... is in character. makes sense? good. which means, yes, that unreality warning at the top of this post IS in character. dimension hoppers gotta cover their tracks somehow/silly
anyways. the brainrot continues!! this used to be a pokemon irl rp blog, but is now.... a multifandom oc rp blog. uh. my character (self insert/persona) is a dimension hopper, and therefore will be posting about many, many worlds.
moss is a ~4'3" humanoid with white skin and brown hair. they have four eyes, the left two of which are dark red and the right two of which are dark green. the top pair of eyes is a little smaller than the bottom pair, which sits in a mostly normal human position, just a tiny bit lower. they wear a patchwork jacket, with a green base and many colorful patches, and when in human-dominated areas they wear a red bandana over their top pair of eyes.
as with before, fake discourse (ie fictional world discourse) is ok but i would prefer to keep real discourse off of this blog thank you. otherwise ask whatever tbh, moss is always looking for an excuse to be cryptic and/or annoying
my pronouns are they/them and mu/mur/murs, main is @mosstalon4, enjoy your stay!

AU where they’re both Podcasters and he lives with Ophelia.
I thought of a cute(ish) au idea of the blog. It’s another entertainment au. Alastor and Ophelia are roommates. Lucifer and her start a casual fling (at least she thinks it’s going to be a fling while he’s ready to date her) and Esme comes knocking on her door trying to leave her boyfriend.
“If you see a man that looks like he belongs on a box of underwear, I’m not here.”
“What does that even mean? And who are you?” Alastor questions as she waits for him to move aside.
“Ophelia’s sister.”
“Likely story.”
“I’m lil Lily. Is Holly in there or not?”
“Ah, so you do know her. That doesn’t mean-“
“Sister! What are you doing!? Look at you!” Ophelia rushes forward. “Don’t mind my roommate. He’s… something. But really what are you doing here.”
“Running away from my life to start over.”
“Oooohh, that wonderful. Al, if you see a man that looks-“
“Like he belongs on underwear don’t let him in.” He sighs. “I’ve been told.”
“I’m proud of you. It’s hard to leave but you’re safe here.” Ophelia grabs her bag. “You can take the guest room. I know! I’ve a guest room. It’s so cool.”
“You will need earplugs.” Alastor informs Esme. “Your sister has been involved with someone lately.”
“Oooh, I see. Sister! Is there a closet I can rip apart? I’d like to remake my recording area. My fans wouldn’t want-“
“Just borrow Al’s.”
“Do not just borrow mine. It’s in my private room.”
“I’m trying to get more things out. I’ve only the clothes on my back.” Esme ignores the man.
“What’s in the bags?”
“My recording things. Just because I’m going through it doesn’t mean I just stop posting. I’ve enough things to post for the rest of the week or I can slim down and post less this week and next but I may have to apologize and do that whole ‘I bet you noticed’ and I’ve no idea what to say as a reason for less posts.”
“You could say-“
“I’m in hiding.” Esme reminds her sister. “I don’t want it known I’m here. I can’t use you.”
“Your series isn’t really fitting for Al’s stuff, is it? Crossover event?”
“What do you do?”
“I run the Hereafter podcast. Death, Demons and Jazz history while also working as a voice actor and running a side podcast on the golden age of acting.”
“Hereafter? Ugh! You’re that creep that said I lacked any sense of self. A pretty face with pretty words but who’s a mask of all flowers.”
“Oooooh, ho. You’ve heard of me. Wonderful.” He recalls saying all that. She worked on the same topic as him, reported it very well in a charming manner that got more attention. It had wounded him that someone who clearly would rather compare lipsticks had done a better job.
“You are also wrong about the deer killing. That man was a serial killer trying to get his girl back.”
“There’s no proof-“
“There is too! His journals!”
“That cabin hasn’t been proven as his.” Alastor pointed out.
“The journals matched his handwriting. There’s a photo of that-“
“And here we go again. Esme, does it matter?” Ophelia cuts in.
“It does! He killed people. He could be connected to-“
“Esme, enough. Or else I’ll tell everyone why you picked that stage name.”
“Hm, fine. Fine. I’ll drop it. But he doesn’t know anything on that case. It’s so clear! It’s an insult.”
