Phrases I unfollow for include: TME/TMA, transandrophobia, and any strong moral opinion about Rocky Horror. I have no patience for trans discourse whatsoever.
I don’t do chain/copy paste ask games, but thanks for thinking of me!
I won’t post fundraisers sent in my asks or submissions. Being responsible for someone's life like that is harrowing, and I just don’t have the energy to vet them besides.
I love being tagged in posts about chickens, spiders, and evil women, if you're so inclined.
I only accept anon hate in the form of limerick. Please be aware of this before sending or your message will be blocked & deleted without comment. My blog MUST remain a silly space.
Karibu karibu, enjoy your stay!

Original Stories and Characters
Desiree: Horror. A woman escapes to an abandoned lighthouse after killing and eating the woman she lusts after, to her considerable psychological detriment. There are no rats on Bishop's Point, but the ghost is very real. Short story, final draft
Taffeta/The Perfect Machine: Mecha, adventure. Hobbyist mecha battler breaks into a private military org, trying to steal back a peer's design... and gets more than she bargained for when she runs into Taffeta, the nation's only biomecha unit. Planned as 50-page comic/may have a novelization, first draft
Starving Season/Crow & Kipepeo: Urban fantasy. During an unusually brutal dry season, a shapeshifting crow-woman 'seduces' a young man into transitioning. Now a young woman, Namirembe must navigate a new identity, sexual & magical awakenings, and her own self-loathing in a country that's Actively Trying To Kill Her. Nagawonyi, goddess of hunger, is also there. Illustrated novella, concept stage
Narcissus and No One: Mystery. A man escapes to a lovely chateau the countryside, but starts hearing a voice that repeats the last word or syllable he spoke. To get to the bottom of this, he must face three reflections (entry room, bathroom, bedroom/id, ego, superego). Video game, concept stage
Outsides-In: Horror. After failing in her performance as a 'living statue,' a girl who gave up her name, memory, and literal heart crawls through the tunnels of the underground, trying to find her way back to herself. Features autocannibalism. Originally a "human-in-Hallownest but played for horror" concept, hence the name. Needs reworking, concept stage
Eremai: Girl with a generational curse, passed down from mother to daughter, is destined to burn down everything she loves at random intervals. She is a constant runaway who tries on new personalities like hats. Originally an Aurora (Webcomic) OC, but I've cut ties with the fandom. No rework planned, but I tag for her sometimes.
Pretty much everything I write is about women because I am a gay lesbian.

Honestly fakir as a character should not have worked nearly as well as he did. I feel like a lot of shows give their redeemed villains likable qualities early on to establish that there is a better side to them that can be cultivated (Zuko shows compassion even at his most narrow minded in season one, for example).
Fakir gets a whopping ZERO likeable traits. It takes Duck eight episodes to catch him with the mask off and in those episodes he spends his time abusing mytho and terrorizing her. It’s easier to spot the little moments of compassion when you’ve seen the show already but going in blind? He’s awful. I don’t know that I can say I’ve talked to anyone who liked early show fakir before his softer side is revealed.
All of that and yet the transition from cold, cruel bully to dorky teenage boy is IMMACULATE. I’m always struck by how young he is—something you don’t really think about when he’s in asshole supreme mode—but the second the mask comes off and we’re left with this traumatized, scared kid it all makes perfect sense. You’re so lost in the fairytale of it that you forget there’s a person in there until the show slaps you in the face with it.
And then of course in just a few episodes Fakir goes from distrusting Duck to literally being willing to die for her. AND IT NEVER FEELS FORCED. I can go on but god. Fakir’s season one writing is so immaculate in setting him up as someone you care deeply about against all odds.
#GOD YEAH#princess tutu#and the way rue gets the reverse where youre introduced to a scared teenage girl#and then the show tells you shes a villain. and of COURSE you believe it about as much as duck#cant you see shes scared? cant you tell someones hurt her?#and shes so wrapped ip in the fairytale of it all just as you were in fakirs and then you watch her mask fall. and its DEVASTATING
Today, I tried to communicate to a friend that I wanted to paint -> I use oils and those require good ventilation -> it's muggy outside and I'd have to paint inside -> health hazard. But instead of conveying any of that, I said "I should play with toxic fumes."
One time I said I'd dropped out of high school and you encouraged me and that was the first time someone hadn't treated it like a bad thing and I think about it a lot
I don't... remember doing this. (unless you're someone specific, in which case I know who you are, lol.) But I'm glad I helped. You're not a failure for dropping out.
For the record: even if graduating high school isn't an option, you should absolutely look into a GED when you're ready. If you're in a situation haphazard/dangerous enough you need to drop out, a HS Diploma or GED is required for most jobs, and you'll need money to get stable and escape. It's also just good to know things, in my opinion. If you're in the USA, I also believe GED training can be offered for low cost or free by certain state governments, and also has online/disability accommodation options. It's not pleasant, but investing in yourself is the best thing to do for yourself.

I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave (nation) state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery
as a pharmacist seeing content about the side effects of birth control made in this very sensationalist way makes me feel weird because yes it’s important to make a fully informed decision about the risks of taking contraception, but you need to understand that ALL medications have rare but serious side effects. everyday medications like paracetamol and ibuprofen have crazy side effects like heart failure and death but people still take them because there’s an understanding that these risks are extremely rare. yes they happen to some people but statistically you’re probably more way more likely to die in a car accident than get a brain tumour from birth control pills. but that doesn’t stop you from getting into a car. Birth control isn’t for everyone but it is an incredibly valuable medication that is a cornerstone of women’s health and reproductive rights. In an age of increasing right wing ideology, abortion bans, violence against women, and fears around reducing birth rates, going out of your way to make fear mongering statements about contraception and paint it as this big scary medication that’s going to kill you feels like a psyop
