Moderator Introduction.

Hello folx&. On this blog, I am Moderator Kankri Vantas. This is not my real name or face, but an avatar I have specifically curated and chosen.

I am a cisgender heteroflexible white man. I use He/Him and They/Them pronouns, to be inclusive to beings& that use They/Them.

I am a feminist ally, alongside an LGBTQAI+ ally.

I read classic literature and analyze it and it’s problematic themes. I am reading these harmful things so you& don’t have to. I do not enjoy media, as everything is inherently flawed one way or another and I would hate to be associated with something that turns out to be troubled and trigger someone who looks up to me.

I deeply hate radqueers with a passion, as they& are all either child predators or kids who have been groomed into thinking this is alright. There is no nuance. I f#$&ing hate them&.

I will use the tag #Kankri’s Whistle for my moderator posts. Thank you& all.

Mod Intro - Jasmine-Kika

Soooo- looks like I’m a bit late to the party.

I made a random blog earlier on for my two OCs that I use for just about everything but haha- I don’t use them here, lol.

I own two of the characters here and I’m currently working on making the Minecraft vision of the school itself!

So things are going (hopefully) decent on that project.

Anyhoozles, I go by Ravline most of the time, so just call me that if you wanna make an ask towards me as a moderator. 👍

hi! i wanted to ask about your opinion of psychoanalysis. i'm interested in psychology and read excerpts from freud's civilization and its discontents so i'm curious what you think about his theories :)

Hi there! So, I apologize for the tone of my response, especially if you liked that book, considering I didn't read it (I read like Freud's "foundational essay" can't remember the name though), but, well. Considering how strongly I feel about this topic, I'd rather be virulent than undermine its importance through artificial diplomacy. Also people tell me it's funny when I talk shit. Please note that this post is gonna be divided in a bunch of sections (this intro+ 6 points) so I don't get over the tumblr word limit!

In a way, psychoanalysts are a lot like cops. They chose a job that causes harm and enforces a harmful brand of systemic violence and get paid and praised as heroes for it at the end of the day, and many of them actually do think of themselves as heroes because they haven't unlearnt/unpacked the violence they're enforcing, but that absolves them of nothing: I think if you can sit through all three weeks of mandatory pig academy and not realize there's something deeply wrong with the job you are learning how to botch, then it's on you-plausible deniability only gets you so far, and there's a point where practicing cruelty out of ignorance is no different from willful cruelty.

Basically, they're the rotten apple that stops people from buying the full basket of apple, which sucks because those people then die of scurvy, but when you try to convince someone they need to eat an apple they'll be like "okay but what if I eat a rotten apple and it gets me sick? And it sucks because they're making a very good point and the fruit merchant is a gigantic moron in the pockets of the Big Rotten Apple lobby who refuses to take the rotten apples out of the basket or do the bare minimum of anti food-poisoning regulations. Or, maybe a rotten apple is too kind a word for the situation; maybe it's more like a manzanilla in a basket of small apples. And you better bet those motherfuckers all look the exact same before you bite into one.

Those are my general feelings about psychoanalysis, but I think it's important to talk about it and why, because I'm not being a hater for the sake of it. I feel like a lot of people either don't know much about it, are on the fence because they've heard so many people day different things about it (and man, psychoanalysts can be convincing)

I love your curiosity Sashe, and despite my cavalier attitude I truly hope you see my response not as an attack but as the well-intentioned, honest answer to a question that's so important to me and that I wish more people knew of, and I hope I can convince you of the risks before someone takes advantage of you. Anyway, here's an essay.

Thesis statement:

Psychoanalysis is a non-scientific, inherently psychophobic ideology built on misogynistic and homophobic premises as well as a dangerous scam that preys on the vulnerable to extort money from them and extends its influence to spreading false beliefs and actively fighting scientific and clinical advancements in the countries where it is still taken seriously. Unfortunately, I live in one of those countries and have to deal with psychoanalysts all the time, so let's break down why it sucks so bad and why we need to take those practicians' psychologist/therapist license away.

Ciel // Doll ! Head Mod & Formatting Mod She/They/HeHi there ! My name is Doll and I am known as the brains to clownie’s heart. My main job is mostly making any of clownie’s dreams a reality, such as this zine and the Wakko’s wish zine. If they can think it I can try and make it happen! It’s a very fun job. I haven’t been part of zines for long, but they have become a bit of a passion project for me, and I can’t wait to bring life to this one as well. Cheers~

okay is it like regular to use react emojis in discord servers to prove you read the rules before you're allowed in? bc I just spent an entire day and a half trying to figure out how to get into this discord server bc I had no idea wtf they were talking about with "grab the key" and "choose your roles" bc I couldn't type and there was nothing to click on until I realized REACT EMOJIS WERE DISABLED IN MY SETTINGS SO I HAD NO REACT BUTTONS and now I'm thinking back to every other server I gave up on joining and is that all it was??? was it just my fucking react buttons were turned off???

It’s seem like I can’t escape the “people don’t want to come to work so now I gotta do their mess” shenanigans…

I want Kafka Asagiri and Haruki Murakami to debate the relative genius of Osamu Dazai. I would pay cash money to attend a debate between Kafka Asagiri and Haruki Murakami on Osamu Dazai's place in modern Japanese literature.
