I LIVED BITCH
(cw: noncon/rape, guns, disregard for gun safety, family abuse, forced isolation, medical neglect)
wanted to save this post for until i got to a safe place, but now that i am, i can give y'all a reason why i didn't post much if at all.
its mostly because of my family.
on a scale from 1-10 (10 being the worst, 1 being the best) my mom and dad are 10, most of my dad's side of the family is like, 9.5 outside of grandma n pa. they are like an 8 or 7 depending on how pissy/petty i feel about them. my brother is like, 4. and my sister is the only one whose normal about everything so she's a 1.
the reason my mom n dad are so highly rated is because my mom would lowkey ghost me for the entire summer when school stopped, and my dad is, well, according to mom- "he never takes no as an answer."
makes me think about why i always gravitated towards noncon fanfics for wilson/maxwell. Im still working on that.
grandma n pa are 8 because my grandma defends my dad (and pretty much any violent male member of the family) and my grandpa WAVED A FUCKING LOADED GUN IN MY FACE on the day of the move. if his hand was NOT on the trigger, he could've shot me in any part of my body including my head
my brother is a 4 because he hasn't apologized for beating the shit out of me almost every day until i was 16, but he's gotten a lot better at controlling his anger.
my sister was the only one who realized that the only way she was going to stay in my life was being cautious, but also realizing why i wanted out so bad, since she went through most of this herself.
outside of that, i hid most of my art from my family because i could NOT handle the disappointment that my family would show if that their "adorable daughter" drew a guy ripping his face off, or drawing porn (tho that wasnt until years later, obviously.) thats why most of my art is violent or violent in nature. its what i grew up in. constant fights all the time. cps was called a few times but they didnt do anything outside of adding to the trauma pile
im tired and finally in a safe environment where i wont be threatened to be shipped off my dad's place, which, if that was to happen... I'd lose all of my support network, including doctors and psychiatrists. I'd be completely shut off from the outside world, including my boyfriend and friends on discord. in his mind, the internet is the reason i have such high needs, instead of, y'know, THE 'TISM.
as for my past, i have gone by "noonfish" or some variation of that on tumblr, but that was while i was stuck somewhere in the alt-right rabbit hole on yt since most of my family loves trump, which is why i nuked all of them. I am deeply ashamed of my past and i'm still working on it, i know i can be better tomorrow than i was today. If i had a nickel for every time my grandma defended a rapist, I'd have three nickels, which isnt a lot but its weird it happened with three people.
i understand if people also stop following for my previous "ties" to the alt right (i was pretty surface level, mainly memes), however i was like, what, 16? and extremely isolated to boot. Thank fuck i got anti-psychotics. i was losing my mind for YEARS due to undiagnosed schizo-affective disorder, which was in play since i was 8. I still remember the time i missed my bus going home from school in elementary school, and when my mom had me in the car, she drove into a parking space and proceeded to yell at me to stop telling the teachers because "i was scaring them" because i kept seeing shadow people in the hallways. all the doctors just assumed I was being racist or something? im not sure about that but the only thing that came out of that was me getting glasses (which, tbh i did in fact, need)
after that, it went lowkey until middle/high school, where it resurfaced again and will continue until i fucking die, so thats fun. if I didn't have schizo-affective disorder, i probably still would've fallen for the alt-right pipeline on yt when i was a child (because of unsupervised access to the internet), but at least i'd be able to make a coherent statement about it. i still hate all those people that helped make my mental illness worse to the point i thought only ohio existed for like, 6 months. shit was awful.
so yeah, thats why i've been so on n off. hope to get some art soon since its about time i should do a full render. maybe it will be two girls kissing.

#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#blood tw#ruporas art#love u when i get to cuddle u and love u when i get to feel ur blood soak into my hands#being this close to one another means the eternal suffering of trying to separate love and mission. love for one and love for humanity#i like to think of pre-vol8 vash as someone who struggles with his feelings for ww bc as equal and as trusted he is -#vash knows his responsibilities and he knows/expects ww wouldn't let him stray from it either. for that he can't take to any romantic incli#and i think itd make him view ww in a stricter non-personal way... If that makes ANY sense.#for ww - take someone who youv gotten close to and ended up liking more than you expected#someone who has a belief and follows it stubbornly - someone who'll get into more fights and trouble more than youv had your entire life#ww thinks of him as a monster but he knows theres a limit he himself can take - i feel like hes considered what might be the limit for vash#for Safety measures. just in case. yknow. whenever he himself might have to load the bullet < him hyping himself up as if he could do it#my point being that the thought of vash being dead crosses his mind more than he'd like. i think its a simultaneous dread drop in his stoma#for failure of the mission - but also an Ok? They can be killed? and also a disastrous gunning of his own heart. considering how much they#both live in their own heads some days are Just the worst ever for them in each others company. but also they lov each other :[ sooo much

To my fellow US Americans: If you are planning on arming yourselves because of the election results and what might be on the horizons, I urge you to be a responsible gun owner.
Take as many classes as you can. Get certified in gun safety, even if it's not required to own a gun in your state. Get a gun safe. A good gun safe. Lock your gun up. Don't leave it armed. Don't wave your guns or gun-owning status around and don't pose with guns like they're toys. I'd say not to make gun buying an impulse purchase, either. You are investing in something that holds great potential risk to yourself and others - treat it like a responsibility.
I'm not here to argue about if Americans ought to exercise the second amendment in the way it currently exists. That's not the point - we have always had the second amendment, and I doubt it's going anywhere. I am more interested in making sure we don't see a surge in accidental, negligent gun ownership.
As a queer person in the US, I can understand the mindset behind people's spiked interest in arming themselves. I'm not arguing against that. As a child of gun owners, I know just how huge a responsibility it is to own a gun, and I hate the general attitude we Americans have about guns. Please don't contribute to that. If you own a gun, it is you inherent responsibility to take care of that gun (which is why I can't own a gun yet - I don't have the resources to pour into proper ownership).

I have BEEN SAYING we should replace live fire in productions with light-emitting fake guns, and The Penguin crew delivered!
Plus! They added something I didn’t even think of: using camera flash bulbs with gels. I was just suggesting LEDs on the tips of the barrels. Brilliant (pun intended).

The Outsider (2002)
Montana sheep farmer Rebecca Yoder (Naomi Watts) offers sanctuary to an on-the-lam outlaw, Johnny Gault (Tim Daly), who is suffering from a gunshot wound. Yoder is a recent widow, and her decision to help the outsider doesn't sit well with her Quaker community. As a romance brews between her and Gault, it puts in jeopardy her standing among her devout neighbors. But when an evil rancher makes a play for the community's land, Gault's sharpshooting skills might prove his worth after all.

Honestly, following the election results, I’d suggest for anyone who is explicitly NOT at risk of self harm or erratic behavior to get a gun, primarily POC, disabled folks and LGBTQ+ people.
I know a lot of you are pro-gun control, and so am I, but if there’s ever been a risk to your personal safety, it may very well be needed.
During the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Panther Party explicitly armed themselves to protect their marginalized communities; nothing is stopping you from protecting yourself or your loved ones if it comes down to it. I hope it doesn’t, but you never know.

I know it seems extreme. But if bigots are willing to get violent with us, we must have the means to defend ourselves. We have to play at their game. And if they get to use guns, then it’s a tool available to us.
Do not be irresponsible with them. You don’t need an AK47. Guns are not toys, they are deadly weapons. Take a gun safety course. Get a license so no one can take it from you (America is pretty lenient with that stuff, but you will be scrutinized more for an unlicensed firearm if you are marginalized).
Be safe.

There have been 416 school shootings since Columbine.
The most recent school shooting was today (September 4th, 2024).
I’m so exhausted from the horror of the world, and I’m hurting for everyone in Georgia.
I’m begging you, vote and canvass for gun regulation and reform.

sometimes I forget that not everyone has been raised around guns and therefore not everyone knows the basic gun safety rules??? just saw a post about a character trained in firearms holding a gun during a heated argument and accidentally shooting the person he was arguing with point-blank in the chest and I had to put my phone down and take a little break and redirect my indignation into something helpful so for fic writers who've never fired, held, or been around guns! here are some gun safety basics that any character who was taught how to use a gun would almost definitely know
in firearm safety classes the first thing they teach you (if they're any good) is to Keep Your Finger Off The Damn Trigger Unless You're Firing. when holding the gun, unholstering it, holstering it, loading it, picking it up, putting it down, whatever, you don't touch the trigger. I've never used anything larger than a .9mm but I usually put my pointer finger up slightly so it rests along the barrel when I'm not firing. this is so that you don't accidentally or instinctively fire the gun when you don't intend to. if your finger is not on the trigger, you can't fire the gun.
the second thing they'll tell you is twofold so I'll split it up. the gun is ALWAYS loaded. more specifically, that you should treat every gun as if there is a live round currently in the chamber. even if you just checked and you know it's not! the gun is always loaded. if you treat every gun like it's loaded, you won't do stupid shit with it. you don't pick it up until you're ready to use it.
the other part of that is you never point a gun at something you aren't prepared to destroy. not just kill, but destroy. because even if you're following the first two rules, sometimes shit happens. and if a bullet comes out of the barrel it's not like you can stop it. even setting guns down, you keep them pointed away from you and others. you hand guns to people pointing down, or forward if there's nothing in front of you. you don't wave a gun around willy-nilly. you definitely don't point it at people unless you are okay with said people having fatal holes in them.
this is definitely not an exhaustive list of gun safety rules; I've been to firearm safety classes and handled guns for a while, so while I do have some knowledge, I'm definitely not an expert. if people with more specific information want to share (especially on things like shotguns and rifles, which I know have more specific rules) please do!

The federal government says it wants the RCMP to ban the use of two crowd-control tools that forces across the country say they have in their arsenals: sponge rounds and CS gas.
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s office confirmed that it wants the measures outlawed, even as the RCMP declines to say whether or not it will comply with that instruction.
The decision to restrict even the use of “less lethal” alternatives to crowd-control tools such as rubber bullets and stronger forms of tear gas has some critics questioning whether the federal Liberals are playing politics with policing. [...]
The confirmation that the federal Liberals want the tools banned comes after The Canadian Press raised questions about a mandate letter Mendicino gave to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki last year.
The letter directed the force to stop using three use-of-force methods: the “carotid control” neck hold, rubber bullets and tear gas.
The RCMP made headlines recently when it confirmed that it still allows officers to use the controversial neck hold despite those instructions and the fact that other police forces have stopped using it. [...]
The RCMP said in a statement that it is “working with partners, stakeholders and bargaining agents” to review the mandate letter _ and gave no indication that it intends to follow Mendicino’s orders. [...]

I have some Gun Thoughts on the Pilot episode. Ignore the crummy screenshots.

I can’t believe I didn’t notice it before, honestly. It says a lot about their characters.
Danny has his finger straight, next to the trigger guard but not on the trigger itself. Good. Wonderful. Basic Gun Safety Etiquette. Don’t put your finger on the trigger itself unless you’re 100% sure you’re willing to shoot whoever/whatever is on the other end of that barrel. There’s a lot of DO NOT DO _______ UNLESS YOU ARE DOWN FOR DEATH rules when it comes to handling a gun.
Steve meanwhile, does not. He’s got a finger on the trigger. He’s ready to fucking go. Murder at the drop of a hat. This is textbook bad gun etiquette. Do not do this. Steve should know better, he’s the one when extra special military training.
It’s just like goddamn, these goons were ready to kill each other the first second they met, but Steve was extra ready to kill. Steven “Bad Gun Etiquette” McGarrett.
And then they basically become married. How cute.
