not gonna say this anywhere else because i’ll get hate mailed into oblivion but made the mistake of reading comments about the influencer couple who announced they terminated a pregnancy after the fetus tested positive for down’s syndrome.
i’m glad they had the choice to abort, this is not even close to an anti-choice post, but.
the amount of people who think and/or say things like it’s a reasonable choice because they don’t want to be lifelong caregivers to a child or that they only want to parent a non-disabled child is fucking staggering. if you don’t want to parent a disabled child, you do not want to parent. you want to experience something you’ve imagined works a certain way (you raise a child for 20ish years and then take a seat, pay yourself on the back, and enjoy a transition to a relationship with an adult child). that’s great! that’s a normal desire! there is absolutely zero reason to believe that will be the case, and if you’re banking on that, you don’t want to be a parent. you want a specific experience.
i really just genuinely don’t care how many people think it’s totally reasonable to believe a (“normal,” aka nondisabled) child is an entitlement they have. children are not tools to achieve some dream you have, they’re actual literal human beings who exist independently of you and you cannot shape them into being who you want.
if your desire to be a parent carries ifs, that’s not a desire to parent, full stop. that’s fine! everyone wants things that are illogical to think are likely or upsetting if you look at it from a certain angle or otherwise flawed. there’s no shame in it. i just wish people would stop acting like the parents to be of the world are owed something when they’re just not. we don’t act this way with other desires and i think if people had to actually reckon with whether they want a kid or not (in the same way we say men want kids like kids want puppies, these sorts of aspiring parents should genuinely reflect on whether they want to parent or are meeting a different need with kids) we’d see a lot fewer parents but a lot better ones

[ID: A quote from Marjane Satrapi's 2005 interview with Salon: If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it's that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same. Marjane Satrapi. /ID]
still alive baby
about me
martin. male. late 20s. northern minnesota, USA. MFA in creative writing.
i am disabled and chronically ill; when i periodically vanish it's because i'm dealing with that.
open to tag games, questions and prompts, etc, i'm just slow and forgetful lol
about my work
i have three main WIPs that i shift my focus between: wizard novel, vampire novel, and alchemist novel. i typically don't name projects until they're complete.
wizard novel is a grand-scale dark fantasy trilogy with a setting inspired by medieval scandinavia about two men, a misanthropic elven mage and an aimless aging warrior, who are sucked into a conspiracy that forces them to reckon with legacies of violence, their places in a society that discards them, and ultimately what they're willing to sacrifice for the potential of a better world.
vampire novel is a young adult paranormal romance set in a small northern minnesota town in 2009 about a teenage boy who, reeling and isolated after a personal tragedy, meets a strange girl with her own dark past and an obsessive quest to retrieve something from the bottom of the lake.
my greatest influences are the nature writing of robert macfarlane, the fiction of julia fine, katherine addison, and cat valente, fantasy RPGs like dragon age and the elder scrolls, and the films of masaaki yuasa, alex cox, and jane schoenbrun.
about this blog
i don't care who follows me. this blog is occasionally NSFW. my writing contains graphic violence and explicit sex.
i will not follow blogs that post a lot of political issues or current events. this is because i am here to have fun, not to be angry, depressed, homicidal, or suicidal. this will not change. love and light
my entire soul lights up when i see a visibly queer person. like i realize whatever crushes i try to tell myself i have for the straight men around me are crumbs, just crumbs compared to how the whole universe shimmers and shimmies when a ngc person sits across from me on the bus

Dear god somebody please read Nicked by MT Anderson it's such a good book about the theft of a saints body. It's a fun romp with mishap after mishap and a gay romance and there's no discussion about it. At this rate I'm going have to start creating fan art for my own enjoyment
personally i find it very queer to write stories where romantic love doesn't factor in at all. dethrone the hierachy of relationships from your mind. love loses. romance loses ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

You literally just have to get really good at continuing.
I will never understand parents who say they grieve the old versions of their trans/nonbinary child. They are supposed to grow and change no matter what, and the joy of parenting is finding out who they are and making space in your heart for new memories amidst the past.
My preschooler who loved caterpillars and fairy wings and Paw Patrol didn't die. They grew into a clarinet-playing anime nerd who creates incredible art, cracks truly hilarious jokes, uses words like "omnipotent" and "uncouth" in conversation, and sings along to the Six soundtrack with me on the way to school. The only things I would ever change about them is their propensity to leave dishes in their room and their insistence upon stealing my good scissors.
I carried that child in my body and saw the first breath they ever took. They are laughing and smiling and learning and growing each day. There is nothing to grieve. There is so much to celebrate.
