I'm a fandomatic demi-gray everything obsessed with magic, animals, and cartoons. I don't follow back without reason, but I don't bite unless you give me reason, either. I recommend reading this first. Blog Guidelines!.

Hello! My name is Zira, nonbinary pronouns please. (My favorite set is xe/xir, but I also like ey/em and xe/xem.)
This is my multipurpose personal blog, but it's actually a sideblog. Asks and likes will come from the main blog, @beyondthetemples. Here, you're likely to see a lot of Teen Titans (multiple versions but not all of them if you catch my drift), animals (especially birds), and sundry topics on both fandom and philosophies. I talk a LOT about my OCs, too.
The most important tags to know around here are probably:
~ my personal tag (rhs personal posts)
~ my Teen Titans tags (rhs makes yet another post about teen titans and rhs personal teen titans)
~ ...and of course my OC tags: rhs has ocs and this is the tag about them, oc rebloggables, iala yona (for Dove), iala srentha, iala kary, iala sathera (for Leyla), and for my original 'verse OCs, team transition.)
Other blogs I run include:
~ @rwt-mystic-corner <- my blog for magic, witchcraft, paganism, spirituality, and other such related topics.
~ @works-of-magic <- a pokemon IRL / RP / tribute blog.
~ @beyondthetemples of course, an RP blog for my dearest Teen Titans OC.
~ I have other blogs I don't like advertising, such as for recordings of my singing, writings I'm shy about sharing with a wider audience, and my AltH/θ∆/heptagram blog. Ask off anon or DM for details.
-> I don't use a DNI, but I do block liberally. <-
More personal information and a wider selection of commonly-used tags below the cut.
Born in: 1993 (I'm not going to remember to update my age.)
Location: Ohio, USA (usually; I travel now and then)
On tumblr since: 2011 (I had another account before this one.)
Other identifying things: Writer, hyperfixated fan, collector of sundry things. Neurodivergent, chronically ill, queer (mostly aroace but it's Complicated^tm). Practicing witch (eclectic) and Neopagan + pop culture pagan.
Local activist, but this blog is meant to be a separate space from that. (I won't be sharing Depressing/Infuriating News posts without an action to take in response, for both the morale of my followers and my own personal mental health.)
See also:
* IRL canon camera (my tag for selfies/etc.)

My original posts in fandoms are tagged with "rhs" in front of them (rhs steven universe, rhs toh, rhs tma, etc.)
Other frequently used tags:
(Don't include the parenthesis if you search them.)
music
linguistics
writing (tips, analysis, etc.)
amazing animals (any and everything animals)
IRL canon (about me)
laugh rule (those rare things that amuse me)
current events (happenings in the world)

Extensive tag index coming soon! If there's something specific you're looking for, feel free to ask! Odds are, if I like it, I have a tag for it.
I will always try to trigger-warn in the tags!
I use the format "#trigger tw". If you need something specific tagged, please feel free to ask and I will do my best to remember. Reminders are welcome. I can also use "[x] don't look" tags if needed!
I also tag for spoilers and tag fandoms extensively. You're welcome to block ANY of my tags for ANY reason if you don't want to see it!

The oldest living tree ever found was a pine named “Prometheus.” It had been alive since before the Egyptian pyramids were built. Some guy cut it down in 1964. Source
he was actually a forestry graduate student who was doing research on bristlecone pines (Pinus langaevea) and got his increment borer stuck in the tree. this tool costs almost $800, so he asked the forest service if he could cut down the tree to recover the tool. after cutting it down, it became apparent that the tree was actually the oldest living organism. ever. (around 8,000 years old). so, not just some asshole. the guy feels extremely guilty and has even broken down in tears during an interview about the accident
So after the grad student cut down the tree and discovered it was the oldest tree in the world he quit studying forestry and went to study salt flats (can’t cut down the oldest trees in the world on salt flats no siree none of that happening) and he was being interviewed about his research, but in the middle of the interview the reporter just stops and says “wait aren’t the guy that…”
And he just takes off running. Literally. Turns around and runs across the salt flats away from the interview and I feel so bad for him but I can’t help but start crying I’m laughing so hard about it
imagine a guy high tailing it across salt flats away from a dude with a recorder
its so different to know it was an accident and that NO ONE was aware until after. its not like this was one ignorant guy cutting down a fucking relic.
[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
STAY SAFE!! [ID: the Gilbert Baker pride flag with the words “Happy pride to all those who are unable to celebrate openly and safely. You are loved and seen!” in all-caps black text over it. /end ID]
I would come into the shop an hour before my start time to vacuum, clean up, etc. every day at my old job and the one time I asked to leave 30 minutes early to pick up my kid I was asked if I was going to come all the way back to lock up afterwards. I suddenly realized no matter how much extra you do it’s never appreciated.
The next day I came in at my official start time and left at my official quitting time and it stayed that way until I quit a month later.
not doomed by the narrative but saved by the narrative. yeah i know you'd rather die than keep suffering but the story doesn't actually care what you want. you have to keep going, even when it hurts. even being erased from existence won't stop you from being salvaged from the wreckage of un-being. get up. keep pushing. keep bleeding. keep living.
what are people's favorite niche ice cream flavors. mine are superman and blue moon (specifically from the midwest like michigan/indiana/wisconsin), van leeuwen's royal wedding cake, and jeni's wildberry lavender

He can fly, but doesn't like to, and doesn't have the strength to do much of it for very long just yet.
I couldn't stop giggling when he randomly interrupted the stream in this helmet lol. Why does he have to be smart, talented, attractive, AND funny?? It's doing a number on me, my god lol.

my thoughts are everyone says porn is a character study but somehow whenever bean is flicked or box is eaten in any time place or universe the characters always know what the clitoris is and call it by name. why?
like do they have the context and education to know what that part of the body is and what it does? does their particular culture even call it that? are they someone who has enough knowledge of their body to be able to locate the clit? are they comfortable enough with their body to refer to specific parts of it by name? do their politics/morals/tenets of faith align with those of the factions that think it’s important to locate the clitoris (or whatever their culture calls it) and name it and its function? do they regularly think about the lower half of their body at all? do they think they deserve pleasure?
Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.
