Hello, I am Aso. Or feesh. Or fishbutt. 20-something dork who loves science fiction and fantasy. Also complainer of joints and owner of an old orange cat.
'Bout me, finally(Because my brain finally went screw it)
Doing this bullet point style. Sue me.
I'm over 25. How much over? At this point I don't pay attention.
He/him, they/them, or fae/faer. Use them interchangeably, pick one, swap them every conversation, I don't give a shit.
Call me Aso or Feesh. Or Asoraam. Friends get extra names to use.
I will disappear from posting for weeks or months at a time. Why? I don't know, I get distracted.
I draw and write. I don't post either to tumblr. If you can find my AO3 or Toyhou.se, you get a cookie I guess. Same with my fic tumblr.
My social skills aren't that great and I don't always word things right. Especially if I'm tired.
Disabled and neurodivergent.
If I seem snappish at times, it's probably cause I'm having a bad pain day, didn't get enough sleep, or both. I try to catch myself before I get snappish because, like, it's a dick move to take your pain out on others.
I operate on the philosophy of 'you do you, I do me'. Basically, I keep in my own lane and the most I'll do in most cases is block. I don't have the energy to get into online arguments.
I have a cat. His name's Shippo. He's a cranky old man that makes a terrible hat. He commits Crimes on a regular basis.
Also, I like hyenas.
My avatar was drawn by myself. That's my sona.
My ask box is always open. I'm not guaranteed to answer immediately. If it's late enough in the day when I answer, you will get nonsense.

Say you break your ankle. You could know everything there is to know intellectually about the injury. Even with this vast knowledge, you will still experience physical pain.
Now take this logic and apply it to things like ADHD, autism, clinical depression, and other less visible/divergent disabilities. You cannot think your way out of feeling.
That is to say: you are not a bad, lazy, or selfish person for struggling, even if you know why you are struggling.
If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.
It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
I'm not seeing any naked adults in that screenshot...
...There's something deeply messed up about how breasts, which are used by our species to feed babies, are considered to be so perverse and obscene that a child should never see them.
There aren't any naked people in the entire video clip. There's some people that you'd probably see less of their skin on a beach, but only because on a beach they'd probably be wearing a bikini top as well as whatever else they have on. And this is New York City, where toplessness is legal regardless of gender or assigned sex.
Toplessness for breasts is legal in most places in the US, unlegislated in almost all that remain, and only illegal in two states: Ohio and Tennessee.
This is because topless equality has been a basic push from feminists for literally decades, until Radfems and NeoCons bonded over wanting a trans genocide less than a decade ago.
It's literally why the "no tits on tumblr" and other lesser SESTA/FOSTA consequences* like it were so jarring. It set back FORTY. YEARS. OF PROGRESS in the rights of people with breasts or perceived as women to wear the same clothes as people without.
Do not let conservatives lie to you about this. The majority of people in the us and the VAST majority of States recognize the right of people to not wear a damn shirt. It isn't obscenity, it isn't even nudity, it's just something pericis men are allowed that everyone else isn't.
Y'know.
Basic sexual discrimination.
*Y'all aren't still on that "it was the Apple app store that caused the tit ban" shit, right? It was the literal US federal government. To be fucking clear.
Sitting here thinking about quitting a pet site because it just doesn't spark joy anymore and some of the pets that were added last time I played made me feel weird.

Sitting here thinking about quitting a pet site because it just doesn't spark joy anymore and some of the pets that were added last time I played made me feel weird.
I finished a mass attack yesterday and was supposed to be resting but instead I'm working on icons for some of my OCs because it bothers me that some of them don't have silly ID cards while everyone else does.
The long-lost remains of King Alfred the Great have been found buried under a car park, investigators claim.
Alfred died in 899, and his bones were repeatedly moved. He was buried in Winchester Cathedral until 1110, when his remains were moved to Winchester's Hyde Abbey, where they were interred before the high altar between the bodies of his wife and son.
The abbey was demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and the place was left in ruins.
In 1866, during construction of a workhouse on the site, the English antiquarian John Mellor excavated the area, found what he thought were Alfred's bones and had them reburied at nearby St. Bartholemew’s Church.
But in 2013, when archaeologists exhumed and carbon-dated the bones from St. Bartholomew’s churchyard, they proved to date from over 200 years after Alfred’s death - sparking Graham's interest and search.
He said: "Whoever’s bones they were, they weren’t Alfred’s. So, I decided to discover what happened to them.
"The quest has taken me 13 years.”

About the Disability Pride Flag
(its design & meaning)
Because:
A) I see it around the Internet where the proportions are off, and I think people are copy/pasting from different thumbnail images that come up in search results, and not clicking through to get the original. It's not a big deal, but it causes a hiccup in my brain whenever I see it.
and
B) There's been some discussion in the Disability Community here on Tumblr on what the precise symbolism should be, and it's changed a bit and gotten complicated. So I want to simplify and broaden it, so it can be explained to curious Normate folk -- without going into a 15 minute explanation of social constructs.
So I'm making a fresh post right now to put all that stuff together.
I'm gonna leave the detailed description of the flag design's proportions just in the alt text (so that people with screen readers know what they are, without having to listen to it twice)
The width of each colored stripe is proportional to the overall width of the flag, but I decided to leave the general proportions of the flag flexible (so it's easier for people to make one based on what materials they can find -- just in case there's a need for a protest sign for a pop-up rally).
The Meaning (Short Version -- what to tell someone who asks while you're waiting for the elevator)
6 colors represent how the Disability Community is Global
The 5 colors in the middle represent how diverse that community is
The black is inspired by pirate flags: rage at injustice, fighting back
The stripes are diagonal to represent cutting through barriers.
The in-depth reasons behind the meaning (Long Version -- If you actually want a 15+ minute discussion of social constructs and history)
The flag has all 6 'standard' colors recognized in international flags, to represent how the Disability Community is bound together by their varied, but shared, experiences, rather than geographical or political affiliation (borrowing that symbolism from Olympic Flag, which represents the global community of athletes -- also bound together by their shared experiences and aspirations).
The five colors cutting across the center of the flag represent the diversity of the Disabled Community, both in terms of physical conditions and in terms of the social-political-economic ways by which disability is understood in society. (No longer trying to assign a specific meaning to any of the individual colors)
The stripes begin centered in the top corner because that's where the "canton" of a flag is, and in flag code, that's the place of highest honor; this is where the stars are in the U.S flag, and also the stars in the flag for the People's Republic of China, and the Union Jack in Australia's flag. It cuts all the way to the end that flies in the wind to show our striving for freedom.
The field is black because Pirates!, yes. But it's also in recognition of the Black Triangle Badge (link goes to Wikipedia), which the Nazis used to mark out a wide range of people in their concentration camps, including the Disabled, that they considered "asocial." And it's in solidarity with the UK-based Black Triangle Campaign (link goes to deathbywelfare.org, from 2010), protesting cuts to disability benefits, and reclassifying disabled people "fit for work."
Reblogging the poll for more visibility, and also to reply to these Quoted tags:
#I am of the opinion that *all* disabilities don't get enough recognition as-is
[...]
#I say this as a person who can be fully able-passing (for short amounts of time)
@strangestructures made similar points in (excellent) replies to this post, especially how any disability can be made "invisible" depending on what resources a person has access to, or the context of what they're doing and when.
Back when I was still in the first stages of designing a disability pride flag (when I was still focused on the cursed zigzag design), and I was still thinking of representation in terms of different medical conditions, I only had four stripes, and someone asked me to add a fifth, for invisible disabilities.
At first, I just stuck that stripe (originally a unique purple, which was hard even for me to reproduce consistently) on top of the other stripes. But after changing it to white, and mucking around with the design, I decided to move it to the center of the design, because Invisibility is at the Center of all Disability.
Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."
I'm not even going to be vague about what sparked this. Do not fucking censor the word 'stole.' I'm at my fucking limit.
So do you hc that Duke is simply scared of bees just bc they freak him out, bc I think it might be interesting if he was like. Really allergic to them. Like, keeps at least two epipens in his utility belt at all times (one for himself and one for civilians if needed) allergic to them. Like, "this poor kid will end up In The Hospital" allergic to them.
Also, idk if he'd've felt the need to before Duke joined the family, but after he does, Bruce and the rest of the family definitely make a point to learn what various conditions look like on dark skin (Alfred already knows from his military/SAS days)
I think while he's utterly afraid, Duke doesn't know he's allergic until he gets stung during a mission and he's panicking because he thinks it's Joker gas and when he wakes up in Gotham General, Bruce is sat beside him, explaining that he's actually deathly allergic to bee stings. Duke didn't know, he just thought his mom was afraid of bees herself which is why she freaked out if they were near him. Duke learns to apply an Epipen and the Bats start carrying them.
More vampire jason because uhh writers block while trying to make it an actual fic is hell 🥹
I feel his relationships with the family would be extremely different for a multitude of reasons
I feel him and Dick would hang out more after this i feel this would also cause Bruce massive head aches because when there's a gala in the house their both just up in chandelier chatting or while their on patrol Dick will teach him how to do flips and shut
While
With tim
One day he finds him stalking them and just picks him up by the back of his shirt and flies him over to B who's rightfully concerned because where the fuck did you find this child who's clearly having a panic attack omg and that camera looks expensive and Jason is just like can we keep him 🥺🥺🥺🥺 and Tims just like is it because I know your identities and just starts sobbing and they both freeze and Jason's just like so uhhh we have to keep him now.... Also just asking what are our identities, and Tim goes my neighbors, and Jason replies soo you don't really know our ident- the Waynes, and B finally realizes that this is Tim Drake and he shouldn't be here rn cuz his parents have been out of country for months and Jasons just like we have neighbors???
Anyways I Jason would eventually move out of the robin role and make a new name I like to think he would either be named fang or something else dramaticly on theme
I feel Tim would be much more of a hacker here
While with Damian the only one of the kids he respected off the bat was Dick with him being the eldest successful child I feel he would see Jason as a 'failure' for being stuck with the body of a child and a nuisance for messing with his plans to deal with Tim who again he thinks is a lackluster holder of the mantle of robin, he did not listen to Bruce in this case believing his overly kind and love father was being manipulated,
Slowly they end up getting along thanks to the batcave bats
-★fish anon
Jason, frozen in time, being happy at first because he can be Robin forever but then it starts weighing on him and he misses the sunlight and the prospect of growing older. Jason who after Tim appears, clearly hungry for a role in helping Batman, gives him the Robin mantle and tells Bruce he needs sometime away, time to figure himself out, maybe hunt the vampire who turned him. Jason who is still captured by the Joker who tortures him with sunlight, holy water, rosaries (all the things he once too comfort in), Jason who barely escapes, covered with scars and sure that Bruce would reject him as a monster, who finds Talia who let's him into the Lazurus Pit to heal his scars but it cures his vampirism. Jason who thinks he's no longer special no longer useful who trains in other ways to learn to fight, who never thinks he's enough.

Love when your own brain implies that you need to hydrate shortly before waking you up.
Also, shout out to the lil guy in my dream that got me a tea bag so I could make tea. Dream me could not stop thanking them even though that tea bag ended up barely brewing.
