Red, He/Him, ghost. Mixed white/metis transfag with more health problems than fingers - Go drink some water and WEAR YOUR FUCKING MASK - Sides: @red-ink-squiggles, @red-talkin-graves
Hi I’m Red. I love ttrpgs, I love trans men, and I love goth music. He/him exclusive to most, he/they for closer mutuals and transmasculinity posters. I use the terms man, fag, homosexual, and ghost for gender. I am over 18.
I don't tag anything but a few regular ones and my ocs, and occasionally post nsfw. If you're a minor or need trigger tags, best not to follow me. Not a formal DNI, just a 'keep yourself safe'.
I have a sideblog where I only post art: @red-ink-squiggles. And a sideblog where I post about horror: @red-talkin-graves.
Also: Fuck the UCP! If you ever put me in the same room as a UCP politician my cane is leaving dented and they're leaving with a head injury.
OC list:

Altair: A nervous boy with stars in his lungs, whose every breath heals those around him. Never seen without a knife.
The Garden/Lilium: A lonely changeling who's fallen head over heels in love with the same friends they're doomed to betray. See the below section.
Zephryne/Stag: A quiet and unhesitating monster hunter who struggles to talk with the same courage he has hunting.
Callian/Doc: A giant of a man who struggles to speak kindly through memories of pain and grief.
Shion/Ghost Puppy: An upbeat and cheerful kid who's dog-like traits hide a more spectral and deathly power.
Amaraneya 'Raney' Moriorum/Corax: A former flying ace currently working as a mech pilot to care for his adopted kids.

The Garden...
A system with many facets and identities, each with a role to play.
Lilium(Host): Hasn't been active for decades, since even before meeting the ghosts. A particularly impactful event could bring him back, but who knows what sort of being he would be?
Faceless: The liar, the trickster, the hero. An idealist who craves a better world, no matter what that world costs.
Mentzelia: The defender, the lion, the avenger. A regal and brutal woman who will do anything to protect her other facets.
Nameless: The lover, the sacrifice, the shield. None of Lilium loves the party like they do, but it insists on a distance.

Pyr: The rotting, the reaper, the parasite. A man unable to be contained to one form or state, contradictory and efficient.
Rosin: The prey, the obsessor, the victim. Rosin will allow those they love to mistreat it in any way, just to see them smile.
The Groundskeeper: Something built of the memories of their spectral Knight. But it can never live up to him.
The classics...
Old ocs I re-make often, or ocs I'm otherwise very attached to.
Amarya: A tired ghost trying to balance his invesitgative work with his responsibilities as a psychopomp.
Emari: A dilfy trans vigilante who shapeshifts by absorbing metal and can talk his way out of (almost) any threat.
Del/Strix: A man with enemies in every corp, desperate to save their doomed and tragic lover.
Finch: A motherly villain who sculpts the flesh of both itself and others like clay- and is more than willing to craft horrors.
Dysphania/Mirval: A lonely warlock, saved from calamity by the same patron who now holds her magic.
Zephyr: A butch who turned to guarding just about anyone when a new power stole away her dream career.
Inkwell/Librarian: A woman forced into heroism too young, turning to villainy to free herself from the light.

Anhiza: A chosen cleric, prophesied martyr, willing to exist within any story except for his own.
Rat Kings: A collection of strange little men who know too much, and who are all too willing to use that knowledge.

Elahiir: The Serpent. A dragon who held the future between his teeth.
Kera: The Night. Living weapon made mourning patron of the Burrow.
Lukra: The Shapeshifter. A god as loving as it is cruel, as protective as it is vengeful.
Avhrena: The Herd. A fearful and desperate girl unprepared to be divine.
Mikra: The Selkie. Once a survivor and healer, now only shards of a story.
Qirik: The Selkie. Once a survivor and warrior, her last breaths threaten to freeze the known world.
The Backups...
I make several per game.
Anadarach: Detective made host to morh-shaped psychopomps, studying monsters known for curses.
Ceanoth: Once cards in a fortune teller's hands, now a mischievous psychic trying to ignore their own troubles.
Uh. Guy: A failed experiment ofcthw Garden's strange benefactor, dead-set on vengeance.
The video games...
If a game has character creation abilities, I will play as an oc.
Seri: A gothic adventurer, and grandson of a lunar hare, though he mostly seems interested in growing flowers.
Zephyra: An older changeling, scarred from years of human aggression and slowly learning to trust again.
Chiroptera: A sonic-powered hero who recently retired to more peaceful jobs, running his artificer lab in the countryside.

not to be a gatekeeper or anything but i wholeheartedly believe that if you cannot appreciate the constant planning, effort, and labor of ancient workers (slaves, farmers, weavers, potters, etc) - you genuinely cannot examine or appreciate antiquity in any meaningful way (besides becoming an example for what NOT to do).
Because so much of what survives - the impressive works that people think of when they hear “Greece,” “Rome,” “Egypt,” “Sumer,” etc. is not the result of ‘scholars’ but was built off the labor and skills of laborers who were not ‘scholars’ in the modern sense, were not ‘educated’ in the same manner as someone from fucking middle-class USA or whatever, but who were trained and informed about their particular discipline in a way that most of us cannot even begin to fathom. And their labor was built off the unseen efforts of other workers - slaves, farmers, weavers, potters, quarrymen, smiths, etc - with similarly specialized, period-specific knowledge that I think is impossible to fully appreciate if you do not respect blue-collar work and manual labor.
Like, you can say you “know more” than the average person in antiquity - but you don’t. Maybe in a conceptual manner - yeah, we know about distant planets and galaxies, we’ve got germ theory, we have made a collection of the entire human genome, we have walked on the fucking moon - but from the perspective of someone from 500 BCE (if I may be allowed a dash of speculation here), does that matter?
In our industrialized, globalized world, I think we forget the sheer effort that went into everything. The sheer degree of skill needed to create homes, tools, clothing, ceramics, fine jewelry, statues, and everything in-between. The skill, knowledge, and effort that went into everyday subsistence activities, like farming, herding, and weaving; and into other trades such as shipping and manufacturing. These are not mindless tasks, devoid of calculation and forethought; to pretend they are in even the slightest is disingenuous.
I would even go so far as to say it is extremely classist & sexist, because - shocker - people still work in these fields. The food you eat, the clothes you wear, the streets you walk, the buildings you eat and sleep and live in - these did not spawn out of a vacuum. Constant effort - unending, backbreaking labor, time, and skill has gone into the world we walk through today, so people can go on pretending like they’re somehow ‘smarter’ than those who came before them, when the only difference is that we* are able to concentrate on something besides our own survival. something otherwise ‘useless’ for everyday survival, and i say that as an archaeologist. Excavating a Bronze Age brewery does not provide food, it does not provide you with clothes (it actually damages them), it does not give you shelter, it mostly provides you with broken potsherds and a whole lot of dirt destined for floatation. Yes, it requires practical skills too - but many of these are essentially also used, even more frequently, in manual labor and agriculture.
And - in this broken, frightful world - we are so damn lucky** that people can even spare time for this, to learn more about the ancient world. And we are even more lucky that - when we are born with health complications, are disabled, or are faced with diseases like pneumonia, measles, and COVID - that these are not death sentences. Artificial scarcity, corporate greed, and fearmongering can make them so, but there is still that ability to live. To focus on the past, instead of making it to the next day, the next week, the next month.
But - I want to emphasize here - this is all entirely reliant on the work of people who continue to carry out the same manual labor done by countless individuals - enslaved and free - up through antiquity. People whose calculations were their survival, whose understanding of the natural world and local resources made the difference between life and death.
To pretend like we are somehow more knowledgable, more capable, more “advanced” intellectually than those who laid the foundations for the entire fucking world we live in today, is a lie. A smug, disgusting little lie that spits on all we have done as a species (and all the progress we are trying to make) with the idea that “we’ve done it”, we’re “superior,” this idea that only encourages rotting in self-assured apathy while the world burns.
And you cannot appreciate the past when you approach it with false assumptions which are based on nothing except preconcieved notions of modern superiority and the belief that knowledge is both ‘quantifiable’ and absolute. We are just as capable of joy, wisdom, compassion, and love as the ancients; and we are just as susceptible to fear, anger, and hatred as they were. I’m not saying everyone has to know the ins and outs of every ancient industry ever to appreciate the fucking Parthenon, but if someone cannot approach the ancient world with an open mind, a sense of humility, and self-reflection - then I suspect they cannot appreciate the fucking Parthenon.
*When I use the term 'we,' I am referring to individuals who do not specialize in manual labor/blue-collar industries and/or engage in subsistence agriculture.
**I know that these are all very situational and that the management and medicine available to people is inextricable from their class, identity, and nationality. I am merely trying to stress that it is possible. I would be dead without modern medicine; and I know countless others who are the same way.
What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?
Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.
Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
what's that one thing where they asked how ripely from alien was so realistic and believable as a female character in scifi for once and they were like "well we just took the dude from the original script and made him a girl and changed nothing else. it works bc men and women are the same?" and people were like "woah no way" and then didn't learn anything from that for 20 years
"how do you write such believable men as a woman?" "how do you write such believable women a man?" and the answer people who are good at it always give is "i just write people. were literally the exactly the same. do you think the opposite sex is some sorta totally different animal???" and people respond "woah that's wild. yea i do. and im not gonna stop thinking that goodbye :)"

sonce the sports are happening big rn where i live i made a handy chart of all the phrases i use to communicate with my loved ones during these trying times. i thought others might find it useful too
ive discovered you can have whole conversations with people using just these phrases and none will be any the wiser that you dont even know what sport it is theyre talking about
I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Then they say if you're a bad boy daddy will punish you. But what's the punishment? More gay sex! You can't escape it. This whole damn place is in the pocket of Big Sex
Black ppl deserve to feel safe and welcomed on the internet, on fandoms on whatever community or hobbies they want without having to deal with antiblack racist attacks, microaggressions or enablers of antiblackness . And if u genuinely consider urself to be left leaning or an ally or woke you should do and try to unlearn the colorism, texturism , eurocentrism and antiblackness
