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:
Currently playing...
The ones being actively used as tabletop player characters right now. NPCs don't count, CaDi gets its own section.
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.
Horse Boy: Elturel's lady of dawn. He desperately reaches for a new life, even ehen being a man costs him.
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.
Asphodel: The grieving, the widow, the spectre. An entity that possesses other facets instead of fronting alone.
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.
Nova: A knight of the stars, redeemed from the strings of villainous parents through only his own scorching will.
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.
Maggie/Miyako: A corvid-like inventor who refuses to be held back by her weaker superpower.
CaDi...

Melha: The rotting celestial of a long-destroyed species.
Novus: A field medic struggling to come to terms with a more peaceful life.

Morbid Anne: The Watcher. A panopticon made divine.
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.

when artists get rightfully upset about their art being misinterpreted, edited, stolen or even just compared to other medias, the talking point of “well what did you expect, you posted it online” sucks to hear, because god forbid people be nice, just nice, plain and simple
Being albertan and not from calgary or edmonton is so fun til pride month comes around and you have to grapple with the fact that any pride events you attend are probably going to be hidden away because your gasoline shithole of a city hates people like you.
Look at people in safer areas post abt going to pride and feel nauseous with envy. I don't even want to a big crowded loud overheating overstimulating pride event. I just wish my home was safe enough for them. For us.
Court filings show that a company called Gametech Holdings filed a “notice of opposition” against Nguyen with the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in late 2023, seeking to invalidate his claim on the “Flappy Bird” name. When Nguyen, who lives in Vietnam, didn’t respond to that notice by November, the US Patent and Trademark Office entered a default judgment against him and officially canceled his trademark in January, allowing Gametech to legally claim the name.

went to a new optometrist today wearing my squid facts ‘save our freaks dont mine the deep’ shirt from @sarahmackattack that has a strawberry squid on it. and i wasn’t even thinking about it but the optometrist walked in and he was like ‘oh what does your shirt say’ so i showed him and he was like ‘oh that’s neat!’ and then i thought he might like to know about strawberry squid eyes since they have weird eyes and he is an optometrist and all. so i was like ‘yeah it’s actually a real kind of squid called a strawberry squid, their eyes are really cool because they have one big yellow-green one and one small blue one’ and he kind of gasped and went ‘oh my god that’s so interesting i wonder why they have that. do you know what their retina composition is like?’ and i watched as he minimized my chart on the computer and started looking up images of strawberry squid and then he googled ‘strawberry squid retina composition’ and he was like ‘sorry we’ll get to your eye exam in a moment i just really want to find out’ LMAO 10/10 optometrist experience will be returning
Someone I have worked with for a decade is retiring. He and I have been close- we’ve traveled together, shared meals, talked about our families and our hobbies, spent time. We text. We talk. We’ve know each other for ten years.
I went looking for a gift for his retirement, and found a watch that relates to the specific kind of car that he works on as a hobby. I bought it, and then invited people to chip in if they wanted.
My coworkers are acting like this is miraculous?
“How did you think of that?” I knew he had a hobby and I googled it?
“How did you know he works on those?” I listen to people when they talk.
“How do you always buy such good gifts?” I listen when people talk to me. Most people are dying to talk about their interests. You just have to give them an in. If your memory sucks, start a note in your phone and write down what people express interest in. Look at it every so often before you hang out to refresh your memory.
“I never would have thought of that.” I didn’t, really. I just spent 20 minutes looking at eBay and Etsy and a few subreddits. It’s easy if you try.
Honestly, if you want to make connections with people, express interest in their passions. It’s easy if you practice it.

Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.
this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.
speaking of! it’s interesting how games made by men that are supposed to be very lighthearted, relaxing and/or escapist often include in-universe misogyny directed toward the player (if they’re a woman) or other female characters. games like stardew valley, animal crossing, harvest moon, monster prom and similar comedy dating sims, etc.
now, i’m not saying games of this ilk shouldn’t explore more challenging themes, like bigotry - but at the same time, the games i mentioned don’t really have much interesting to say about the aforementioned misogyny, for the most part. it typically doesn’t contribute much to the story; if and when it does, it’s pulled off in a very clumsy, halfhearted way. it’s just kind of There.
i’m also not saying that having characters that are bigoted necessarily reflects bigotry on behalf of the creator, obviously - moreso that i don’t think they really give the presence of in-universe misogyny much thought at all. it’s just kind of thrown in; not always taken seriously, sometimes outright treated as simply throwaway lines or set dressing. and the resulting tonal dissonance feels very weird!
i was literally thinking of the transmisogynist from monster prom when i was making this post 💀 they’re either straw hate sink bigots (like leonard as you mentioned) or “this guy is a misogynist but we’re never gonna really properly address it aside from maybe a stray throwaway line or two” (like pierre and kapp’n)
Some of the edgiest queers in the world who constantly talk about romanticizing cannibalism and gore is punk or whatever will turn into the literal pope when confronted with anything realistic having to do with sex like im sorry but people fuck in the park at night sometimes always have and always will and you’re going to have to go about your life without advocating for them to be skinned alive in Alcatraz

(Average Metropolis reader after investigative reporter C. Kent's 452nd article on yet another case of landlords/business owners/factories' continued use of lead pipes/paint/gas/glass knowingly exposing the public to dangerously toxic lead levels) what the fuck happened to this guy
One day Bruce Wayne mentions in an interview that heroes like Superman are overrated, as the most effective way to reduce crime is to provide public resources and improve local infrastructure, then cites how neighboring city Metropolis has effectively lowered their violent crime by 13% after addressing their outdated water system and investing low income housing. the reporter conducting the interview suddenly starts looking a little uncomfortable
"Who, Clark Kent? Yeah, we're pretty sure he's a Meta. Is he a superhero? Like what, "Lead-detector guy"? "Captain pipes?" Don't get me wrong, he's a great guy and it's a handy trick, but it's lead detection, not laser vision. He's not about to go running around in tights any time soon."
everyone assumes that kent is so squirrely around superheros because he’s just desperately hoping not to be conscripted to the JLA to fix their plumbing
