otar | adult | he/it | queer trans science demon lad | formulation-666 is a sideblog of mine. . im not taking messages asking for donations (i literally have 0 income) but i will happily reblog posts about them if you ask
i'm plural/part of a system. i front the most for sure and even when others front i'm kind of always either co-conscious or co-fronting.
not all of the other members of my system have tumblrs but we have an account for our whole system (oddballparty) that we don't really use but you're welcome to ask any questions to. or to this account too. the other adult members of the system have their own blogs too:
It Breathes/"Ib" (it/its)
Zenith (they/them)
Ace (he/they/it)
If you don't like the fact that we're a system... please just block us, don't interact with us. Yes this includes if you consider yourself *my* friend but don't want anything to do with anyone else in my system.
If you knowingly support/defend/are friends with people who are ableist, bigoted towards systems/alters/headmates, or otherwise have any kind of aversion to or issue with plural folks: please do not follow or interact with us. It does not matter if you're personally cool with plural folks, it is unsafe for us to have any of our blogs get reblogged by people who have followers that think of us as lesser.
Our brain is broken into shards and we cannot magically un-break it and just be a singlet to make people (including ourselves) feel more comfortable. We also can't operate with one single shard of a brain and ignore the rest. Our existences are non-negotiable. We're very tired of pretending they aren't, and we have a lot of trauma regarding people who treat us being plural as inherently immoral or something we can just undo if they want us to.

excuse me, but goofy and pluto are like humans and other apes. closely related species but not the same. this can be seen in how goofy walks plantigrade and bipedally, while pluto is digitigrade and quadrupedal
are you going to argue that they’re different versions of the same species, which has different types of walking? when dogs and wolves are generally regarded as different species? and wolves and coyotes are different?
Sorry, gang, gotta weigh in on this one.
Pluto and Goofy are both cartoon dogs. The idea of them being different species of cartoon dogs doesn't hold water for a few reasons.
- Pluto does not have digitigrade legs.
Here's a real dog with real digitigrade legs.
We should all know how that works. The weight rests on the 'toes', the bones which parallel our ankle joints are positioned higher and act as locomotive joints as opposed to weight-bearing joints, and the knee/hip are similar to ours.
Okay, so here's Pluto:
Pluto puts his weight on his ankle, and his knee is the main locomotive joint. He's plantigrade. I'm actually finding it impossible to grab examples of him walking in a such way that doesn't suggest that he and Goofy have extremely similar anatomical structures, (minus Goofy doesn't have a tail and Pluto has less digits* - but those can be chalked up to individual variation.)
*Sometimes Pluto summons a thumb out of nowhere in order to complete a gag so who knows.
Walking comfortably as a quadruped is not evidence of him being a different species; some humans can do that. He can otherwise emote as well as Goofy, shows as complex an emotional range as Goofy, is as much a character as Goofy is. Rarely we get Pluto's internal monologue, and it is complex and very human. The only reason he is considered less anthropomorphic is because he acts less anthropomorphic. And doesn't wear clothes; lots of cartoon animals don't wear clothes, though.
But, I mean, Goofy can talk. Pluto can't talk. Right?
- Pluto Can Talk
Pluto only speaks in barks and some maybe human-sounding interjections (huh, yeah, woah), but his earliest incarnations delivered some dialogue. He could, once upon a time, speak some english and communicate with Mickey. His lines were brief, and his character's ability to talk was phased out pretty early.
It may be worth noting that 75% of his spoken dialogue was racist enough that The Walt Disney Company went back and redubbed those few lines with barking. So, I mean. That might explain why they don't let him talk anymore.
I think I started replying to all this with a different point, but now I guess my point is that the Goofy/Pluto situation raises so many questions that after taking the time to read more about Pluto and draft this reply, I am more convinced that Goofy and Pluto are the same kind of cartoon dog, and I have even more questions about what the hell is going on here.
I hate that when you’re stressed enough your body just starts falling apart. I think it should realize you’re already stressed and don’t need that and start functioning better actually
Imagine if we did the “public libraries are punk” thing for other subcultures. Imagine if people made shirts that said “Soup kitchens are grunge” or “Mixed Use Urbanism is Juggalo”.

I don't really have many followers at all, but I really hope this can still get at least some traction.
A friend of mine recently became homeless. Her nerve damage has gotten so bad that she's disabled and unable to work anymore. She doesn't have reliable family to help out, the rest of her (now former) friends really hurt and totally abandoned her, and she has no money. On top of this, the only real supportive family member she did have just passed away, and she's understandably in mourning.
She's working on getting on disability, but as anyone familiar with the experience can tell you, it's a very long process. She needs to be able to afford things like food in order to survive in the meantime. With no other options, she asked my partner and I if we could set her up a GFM, which is linked below:
We're Cicada and Otar, friends of Amber's who are setting thi… Cicada Carpenter needs your support for Help a homeless, disabled, black tran
It would mean the world to all 3 of us if you could please pass this around, and if you can spare even just a single dollar, that would be extra incredible. She's a very sweet and grateful person and I'm really worried about her; it's very easy to completely lose all hope in this kind of situation. Every single share and cent will mean the entire world for her to see that people care, are rooting for her, and are keeping her alive. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much to everyone who has shared, and an extra big thank you to everyone who has been able to spare any amount of money for Amber and donated!! 💚 She currently does not have much money left at all for food, but she has been able to afford to eat for the past week and also have a temporary place to stay for the time being, and it's all thanks to all of you!!
Admittedly I feel a little awkward asking people to keep sharing/passing along something and chipping in if they can, but I really want my friend to keep being able to stay alive long enough to get on disability and no longer need to worry about funds like this. So, please keep doing what you can. Thank you so much again. ;v; 💚
Amber requested that I share these images with everyone.
She informed me that she's being expected to pay over $3000 in fines by May 15 for damages done by her family who did so under her name and with her credit information. She has not been able to afford to eat anything today, either, so she's still very much in need of shares and donations.
Thank you so much once more for all of the compassion, selflessness, and generosity that so many of you have been extending to her. She's not used to it from even her own family, let alone total strangers, so it's really doing a lot for her even beyond financially. 💚 I will continue to post updates on here, GFM, and BlueSky.
Speaking of, if anyone would like to share my post on BlueSky as well, you may do so here:
Update:
Amber asked me to share these pics today, explaining that she's being expected to pay >$3000 in fines due to damage done by her fam
It's been several days since the last donation. Amber is still in the process of trying to get on disability and therefore still without income. The deadline for the fines is in 2 weeks. She has no money for transportation to upcoming appointments that are vital for the process of getting on disability. She has fortunately been able to get to a food bank so she can still eat! But she's otherwise been very depressed lately, struggling to not lose hope.
To be blunt: I'm extremely worried about my friend and her safety.
But!! Thank you once again for every share and every dollar put towards helping her; it's extremely reassuring to see so many people caring about their fellow human beings like this, especially in these times. 💚
It's been a full week since the last donation. Amber is back in the streets now that the temporary amount of time she was given to stay elsewhere has run out, and the deadline for the fines she's legally required to pay is in 7 days. Please keep doing what you can, thank you. 💙
Thanks to everyone who's shared and especially donated, Amber was just able to send enough of a payment towards her fee that she won't be taken to court so long as she continues to make another payment on June 5th (9 days from the day I'm writing this). Cannot thank you all enough for helping to save our friend's life. I'm sincerely blown away by all the kindness, especially since I don't think we even personally know most of the donors ourselves.
She's still in the process of waiting on disability approval, so the need for this GFM unfortunately remains until she can get actual income. But I will continue to update you all on the situation. Thank you all so, so much. 💚
Hello
This is Mahmoud Khalaf from Gaza, currently studying in Ireland. I am campaigning to evacuate my family from Gaza and reunite with them in Ireland where we can rebuild our lives.
Our campaign has been vetted by El Shab Hussein and Nabulsi #151 on the Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List, as explained in my recent post titled “Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza"
Could we ask you please to reblog our post, boost our family campaign and share it within your networks.
You are our last hope amid this horrific genocidal war!

Reblogged & sharing the post link here too for good measure. Hope you can very soon get that last 1% you and your family need to get out safely!

Traumatized in Ireland While my Family is Facing Death and Starvation in Gaza
Has it become normal Now that the defenseless civilians in Gaza face death and starvation on a daily basis?
Hell No!
F*ck No!!!

Note: Vetted by:
1. @el-shab-hussein and @nabulsi # 151 on the spreadsheet of Vetted Gaza Fundraisers List]
2. @riding-with-the-wild-hunt Here .
I contemplate the happy faces of people around me here in Ireland and reminisce about the happy normal life my family and I had before the war. A life that turned into a distant memory for us and was replaced by an unending series of horrible nightmares.
Unlike my family in Gaza, people here have access to drinking water, all types of food, electricity, and a roof over their heads. Above all, they are safe, and I cannot help but wonder if they genuinely do appreciate these blessings in their lives enough.
People seem relaxed and laughing wholeheartedly around me in Ireland. I wish I could laugh too, but I am crushed way beyond recovery on the inside. I was evacuated by my Irish college after five months of living the horrors of war in Gaza. I hope you will never know what it feels like to live in constant fear and worry and be horrified by the most sickening and scary nightmares every single night while you are far away from your family in such circumstances.
When did my people in Gaza cease to be human beings worthy and deserving of a normal life? Has it become normal now for my family in Gaza to be starved and killed while the whole world is watching the genocide? If that is the case, then you will have to excuse me if I seek every avenue to bring them to Ireland and start a new normal life like all people here around me.
I was assured by the Irish Reugee Council (IRC) and lawyers in Ireland that there is hope I can reunite with my family in Ireland. In difficult times, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me and my family, you are literally our light and hope for a better life.
SOS!
Please donate, reblog and share.
People say: "Family always comes First," and to that, I say: "Amen!".… Mahmoud Khalaf needs your support for Death chases my family in Gaza;
the co-founder of 'crips for esims for gaza' and disability advocate, alice wong, has died according to her twitter account.
alice's disability advocacy naturally led her to palestine solidarity as the quote from the blog post announcing 'crips for esims' illustrates:
We also recognize that everyone in Gaza is now disabled due to the massive number of deaths, new disabilities, life-threatening illnesses and destruction of medical facilities going on. Such destruction also debilitates the land, water, and air, which will impact Palestinians and all surrounding life for generations to come. We owe our kin in Palestine to throw sand on the gears of genocide with our every breath. [source: the disability visibility project]
since december 2023, crips for esims for gaza has raised well over $3.1M and bought and maintained over 5,000 esims, undoubtedly saving lives.
in the past few days there has been intense winter flooding in gaza. donate to honor alice wong's memory–to keep people connected, to give disabled people the tools to advocate for themselves, to refuse to let palestine be silenced.
Crips for eSims for Gaza is a collaboration between Jane Shi, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, and Alice Wong.
I really hate when I have to unfollow someone because they decided to be transphobic. Can we all agree that there's no place to hate on trans men or trans women or nonbinary people? Like it's getting really old. Solidarity or nothing. I don't want fake ally-ship you either stand with each of us or none of us. You cannot say you support trans people and willingly hate one side of the trans spectrum. We can absolutely call each other out and hold each other accountable but this stereotyping and malicious behavior towards one another needs to fucking stop. It's concerning how easily people are falling into the fascist trans hate belief systems. Decolonize your thoughts.
i tend to avoid discourse because most of it is trite and pointless but just this once i feel like i need to state my opinion: i think everyone should bend to my dark and evil will

Just because you did something wrong in the past doesn’t mean you can’t advocate against it now. It doesn’t make you a hypocrite. You just grew. Don’t let people use your past to invalidate your current mindset.
i actually disagree! not to bring back a certain children's hospital and say "it's literally color theory" unironically, but... it's literally color theory. both of these color palettes are virtually complimentary and look pretty nice together
youve got reds, greens, and blues:
and purples, blues, yellows, and oranges:
(you'll have to click on the images to see the full thing, i don't want to put them one after the other and make this post even longer than it already is. sorry for the low resolution im doing this on my phone)
of course there's variation in the values and saturation, but imo that's a bit of a given ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
not to re-rail a post that OP himself intentionally derailed but I wanted to try out the palettes. The first one is made with the Girl Colors with no changes made to the values/saturation.
i think its ok.
The second one I tweaked the saturation and values a to my liking. Both are very low effort but as you can see I kinda got into the second one. Anyway I really like orange/purple/yellow as a color scheme so I had fun with this
wait omg it would be so cool if there was a different character for each color and they were all in one friend group together, i would LOVE to read a story about that
There's everything in that post. Colours I can't see because I'm colour-blind. Homestuck jokes. Casual transphobia. A children's hospital. That's history
