#tw touchy subjects

[linked-maze]

Are there any of your Links who are fatphobic? Of course Warriors and Sky are not but what about the rest? hope this doesn’t come off as rude 😊

oh man Fatphobia??? that can be a touchy subject XD for me there are two ways of fatphobic people- there are the ones that HATE and treat fat people like trash! and think losing weight is sooo easy. Then there are the people who don't hate other fat people but are scared to become fat themselves and have some internalized fatphobia? ( I sometimes struggle with this ) ( if I'm wrong plz do tell me! I could be wrong ;w; ) anyway! yeah, some of my Links do have internalized fatphobia and are scared of becoming fat but they don't hate fat people! one of those Links is actually Warrior himself! believe it or not! He doesn’t like the way he looks and tries really hard in an unhealthy way to change it. but don't worry! he will learn in the future XD and don't worry anon! you are not rude at all!

A Quick Note on Death and Therianthropy

TW: mentions of animal death. Nothing super graphic but I thought I would make it as obvious as I can.

I wish there were more discussion about therianthropic origins that are outside of the spiritual/psychological/physical … like there are so many ways to be a therian or become one that I don’t see discussed at all. I also don’t know if there’s any discussion being had on how pet death may affect therianthropy, which is most of what I want to talk about here.

For example, my scenthound dog theriotype is specifically of emotional origin. I had never heard of anyone describing their experience this way , and I started using this term for myself nearly a year ago because calling my dog type just “psychological” didn’t feel right. I also think there may be a past life connected to this type as well, but I feel less focused on that part

This theriotype specifically came from my childhood dog and her death. She was a boxer beagle mix. Her death is integral to my identity because it happened right around the time I was questioning being a Vizsla dog, and it changed my perception of that theriotype forever. I was no longer a Vizsla but rather a mixed/uncertain breed of scenthound dog, and how I view myself as this theriotype has permanently changed to look more like my childhood dog. Dark masking, occasionally white markings, black claws against tan paws… quite the opposite of the uniform color of the Vizsla, who is a golden rust from nose to claw.

While I still do feel connected to Vizslas, especially the general short haired dog with floppy ears look and their behaviors, they just aren’t quite *me* anymore because of this.

I feel like pet death, or even just death in general is overlooked as a source of therianthropy or certain theriotypes… I think ultimately it comes from a place of deep empathy, which is why I felt “emotional kin” was more accurate to my experience than “psychological kin”. Thinking about this really makes me wonder how many experiences and awakenings aren’t talked about that include death in some way. Are there bovine therians who awakened as such after seeing one die on a farm? Are there deer therians who saw one of their own being hunted and realized then that they were one? Are there therians who found their kintype after being exposed to taxidermy of them? And, are there others like me who witnessed the death of their beloved nonhuman family member and watched their identity shift right before their eyes? What about therians with family and close friends who are therians? When they die, will they feel the sudden pull to “adopt” the theriotypes of their loved ones, so that a part of them is always there? So many questions, and I fear not enough research or discussion to answer them. It’s interesting to think about, at the very least.

“Who did this?” (Molinde)

Celebrimbor hesitated, unsure how to respond. Had he time to prepare, he might have brushed it off as a simple accident in the forge or a trip and fall. Anything, really. The silence, however, with the wide eyes and the way he had frozen after being caught borrowing Mirdania's makeup, made those easy explanations impossible.

"Worry not," He finally managed, brushing dark hair out of his eyes, wincing only slightly as his own knuckles dragged across the bruised and split skin. "An accident. He did not mean to harm me. Heat of the moment."

I used to not like AmeBela. Now I can see why people ship these two. In canon, America took Belarus in after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Maybe Belarus just got homesick lol. In my headcanon, Belarus secretly admires America for freedom and rights that she doesn't have? I heard IRL Belarus's president is known as "Europe's last dictator". I need to reread the culture and info books about Belarus. Do I ship Belarus and America as a romantic pair now? Maybe not, but I can see them as friends the least.

to ex-radfems:

hey! i didn't realize there was so many of y'all here on tumblr! I'll be honest, I'm not sure what to say about it, because, well, I thought we were much fewer and further between.

I think there are a few things worth saying, though.

Here's a resource for you. In addition, while I don't participate in discourse too often, I'm happy to provide perspective to good-faith questions, and to learn from you and what you've picked up along your journey.

I am proud of you for your growth. This is a really difficult thing - radical feminism targets vulnerable people who aren't equipped with the tools to understand its many issues. I hesitate to call any political system a cult, but as a cult survivor myself, there are parallels.

I know that the guilt is difficult. I was relatively harmless as a TERF since I rarely spoke up about it, but what little I did perpetuate, I regret. The things I've done in the name of beliefs that held me instead of me holding them still haunt me, radfem-related or not.

You are not alone. This is important.

Some people will not forgive you. Some people cannot forgive you. You may have trouble forgiving yourself. It's okay. It takes time, and what's most important is that you're here now, and you understand how to move forwards.

This is a safe space for former/deconverting radfems. I block easily, because I need to keep this a safe space for myself as well, but I want you to know that I'm going to do my best to make this space open to people who are willing to learn.

Honestly, at this rate, I might make a sideblog about being a former radfem - I'll add it to my pinned post if I do.

Anyways. I share some of this experience with you. I know it can be difficult, coming to terms with both your past and what this means for the future. I know it takes work. I know.

Most importantly, it's going to be okay.

(SPOILRERS ON RITPIDE EPISODE 100 if u havent seen it)

hey saw ur post on jayson ferin and thinking abt how young he was when he became a parent n if he actually loved may or not .. like he did fuck off (to go visit may) in episode 100 when jay told him may was dying so he cares for her somewhat. is it love? is it just looking out for the mother of his children ? dk

IT'S SO INTERESTING TO ME I NEED CONDI TO DROP MORE FERIN BACKSTORY MANN. personally i think at least at some point he loved may and probably still does but like. did something sour there? was he just always this way? is his idea of love just inherently flawed?

idk jayson ferin is a fascinating character to me (terrible father, fascinating person)... i kind of wonder if having kids at a young age could also be related to the ferin legacy thing? because if faye ferin is still active in the navy i'd assume she'd be pretty young for a grandmother, too. lot of thoughts about her relationship with jayson and drey.

and i think about jayson shaming jay for leaving her mother alone, back in the block arc. because he did the exact same thing, even whilst may was ill, and i wonder if he was just being manipulative or if he was projecting or if he was genuinely unaware. shaking condi and grizzly DROP THE INTERGENERATIONAL TRAUMA LORE. DROP IT.

tw: trauma talk, mental illness, child abuse talk

sometimes I just think about all those times where an adult could have helped me

or confronted them of what they were doing to me and

there were so many chances but adults around me turned blind eye from it

he should have been arrested after all

or I don't know, call the CPS because there were so many chances where I could have been "saved" but God fucking knows what would have happened if CPS was invovled.

but this is what happens often when you live in a poor neighborhood full of people who are afraid of the police because they're illegal immigrants or they don't speak English or their culture tells them not to meddle with other people' s business.

i get it but it sometimes makes me so frustrated that people just let that happen to me..

could it have been worse because i may have been taken to foster care? I don't know. maybe. maybe I would have been taken to some other family members care. but what's the point of even ruminating about it when I'm 29 now

i just wished I had an adult I was able to trust when I was young

Has Tweek ever struck someone in anger?

Yes -- sorry, Craig... haha!

Before they were together, Tweek and Craig beat the shit out of each other severely enough to put each other in the hospital. Then, when they were in the hospital, Tweek got out of bed and instigated another fight with Craig, enraged over something the main boys claimed Craig said about him. This was not the last fight the two of them got into in elementary school, either.

When the two of them got together, they mellowed out a little bit. However, the resentment over their situation resulted in rising tensions between each other, and in middle school, things escalated to violence between them again.

Tweek was the first one to lash out, not fully lucid at the time, scratching Craig's face while in the middle of a breakdown. Craig was quick to forgive Tweek for this, saying he didn't realize what he was doing and, therefore, could not be blamed.

However, while it started that way, Tweek soon figured out that violence felt good. It was a language people would actually listen to, after he spent years trying less severe ways of making his voice heard. He was frustrated, and he wanted to tear things apart, and the only things in arm's reach were himself and Craig.

Craig feels awful about his eventual retaliation, and he will defend Tweek's violence, saying he didn't know better. He has an excuse, unlike Craig. But if you ask Tweek, he will be remarkably candid about how intentional his abuse toward Craig was, and he will laugh and say that Craig "got him back good."

They put each other in the hospital again at 15, which is what led to their breakup.

In elementary school, Tweek was one of the least violent kids in school, often avoiding confrontation entirely. It scared him, and when he did get into scraps, he was rarely ever the instigator, usually just defending himself against the other children.

As he ages, Tweek becomes more prone to lashing out violently, or at least threatening people when they provoke him. He is no longer terrified of confrontation and, in fact, becomes very strong-willed as an adult -- at what cost to everyone else, though? Ha!

His teen and early adult verses see him much more willing to start fights with the people who anger him, and he doesn't fight clean, either. In his later adult verse, he mellows out a little bit into a "do no harm but take no shit" kind of person. He learns to assert himself more without the use of violence, but he's still not against it in more extreme cases.

Content warning for domestic abuse

During his sophomore year in high school, Jaden entered a romantic relationship with a girl named Angela.

Things between them went well for a time, and he even confided into her about his pansexuality at some point. But it didn't take long for Angela to reveal some of her truer, nastier colors to Jaden.

She was one of those types of girlfriends who wanted her boyfriend to be attached to her hip at all times. So all their activities had to be done together, always; no matter what. When Jaden didn't want to comply, for whatever reasons he had, she'd hit him while half yelling, half whining to him about it. They'd argue, things would escalate, and it would end with him either relenting into her demands or them having a prolonged fight about it until he finally relented.

Eventually though, after reaching out to Penny and gaining the support of his sisters, Jaden called things off with Angela. Then, it was a mad dash to come out to his parents before the high school rumor mill could reach them because he knew Angela would out him as a means of revenge for breaking up with her. And she did just that, and then some.

On top of there being a rumor about his queerness, Angela twisted their story around and claimed that it was Jaden who was physically abusive towards her, not the other way around.

Jaden's social standing fell apart rather quickly after that, and only a few people who knew the truth/believed him when he said it was really her who was abusive stuck around him after that. Those few people would wind up being the friends Jaden carried into adulthood and bonded deeply with - in spite of or maybe even because of Angela.

It's been years since he's dealt with Angela and the fallout of her abuse towards him. Jaden considers himself moved on from it and healed nowadays, and this is a mostly true statement. He's less afraid to stand up for himself, should he ever find himself in such a position again. Part of the reason why things got so bad between them was because Jaden was genuinely afraid to hit a girl and she had power over him in knowing his closeted status. Now, he wants the world to know of his queerness, and if a girl throws the first punch then he'll throw the last one without a care about what anyone thinks of it.

But he has emotional walls set up too and isn't completely aware that they're there. Angela's torment has pushed Jaden into holding himself more guardedly while keeping others at distance. It's safer that way. People can't hurt you if they don't get in at all. He's also sensitive to any sort of perception that makes him out to be a bad and-or abusive boyfriend too because he doesn't want to be caught in the turmoil of those kinds of rumors again. He doesn't want to be that sort of person either. His love language is doting because he cares and because he wants to be the opposite of the worst thing he could be.

6. What is something that you didn’t think you will write but now you are writing it? - @hells-greatestdad

Ffffff it’s more like what I haven’t written yet and would not mind if I did. I love ships. I’m a pain in the ass these days to get me to actually establish a ship with because of how picky and character building/chemistry oriented. But one ship I wouldn’t mind to write is a Lucifer x Lucid ship. Sounds taboo/problematic right? Ngl I’m cringing over here as I type this and feeling shameful lol.

Lucid was made in Lucifer’s image, but he’s not Lucifer. He’s his whole own person and not related (unless my rp partner wants them to be or pursue a more familial route. Then yeah, no that ship ain’t happening). They’re beings made from light and dust, never met until 6,000 years later. Adam and Lilith are made of the same dust and Eve came directly from Adam’s rib. The beginning of everything is kinda whack if one lingers too hard on the topic. If Lucid is being called son/brother/twin, there is absolutely no way I’d propose that ship.
