"sex and love are what make us human" well luckily for your pathetically limited worldview, i don't actually mind roleplaying as an elf. fetch me my ancient and gnarled magical staff, boy
#aroace#<-obviously also free to relate to if you're anywhere else on the a-spec!#bc people put sex *and* love into the same definition all the time. excluding people who are “missing” either#but i just don't want to clog the aro tag with posts about not having sex (or not loving for the ace tag) lol#tbh i personally experience many types of non-romantic love *until* someone tries to make my humanity conditional on it#in which case i just reply “love is just a social/linguistic construct WTF do you mean i experience it?”#aspec

I'm not doing very well at the moment but I was slightly happier a few seconds ago, before someone pointed out that Faerieland has been on the ground longer than it was in the sky :')

#neopets#faerieland#FLASH WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN MY HEART#time is a construct of human perception#as tom so lovingly points out

do yall think constructs like. age? idk if a secunit has uhhh survived long enough to maybe truly answer that question but maybe a comfortunit has
does the cubicle/repair process like. replace organic tissue with young tissue? match or clone the tissue around it? i’m assuming that there’s some organic tissue, like neuro tissue, they have that is vital to function and not able to be replaced without straight up killing them
#Murderbot#murderbot diaries#the Murderbot diaries#hmm part of me assume that their tissue was artificially aged or something#but actually using baby/toddler neuro tissue would make a lot of sense#bc of synaptic pruning and all that#so if you want your construct to learn as fast as possible then like#quick google search says 2-7 or 4-14 are some of the best age ranges for learning new skills#which I guess one of my headcanons is that Secunits don’t live very long lives#murderbot spent four years watching TV and an unknown amount of time before it was wiped#so it could be as young as five#it isn’t a child obviously but like#I guess I’m considering the potential benefits of giving your contructs very young and flexible neuro tissue for their organic side#actually wait that also might fix something bugging me a bit#bc I know Murderbot got flashes of ganaka pit bc of the organic neuro tissue#and I’ve always been like. why only that?#and my first sad assumption was many ganaka pit was its first ever assignment#but actually if Murderbot was in use for like 3ish years it might also make sense#bc humans don’t encode shit into our memories until around age 3ish either#so maybe ganaka pit was just the equivalent of murderbots first memory#mine is me at age 3 being jumped on my our lab/collie mix in the laundry room#followed rapidly by me at age 3 moving to america the first time and going to the basement to find like a bajillion dead millipedes#just little flashbulb memories with no real memories surrounding them at all#which sounds a bit like what Murderbot describes#hmm maybe I should make these tags their own post or something lmao

i know a lot of people like to make fun of young queer people who use a bunch of microlabels and engage in niche or "cringe" aesthetics but im gonna be so honest, i love them so much. i 100% was that kid and while now i don't really use or think about any of the labels i used back then, that doesn't make that time any less valuable and valid (and it doesn't make someone less valid if they do keep using that terminology into their adult life!). queer kids who are figuring themselves out and are learning about new fun words for genders and pronouns and sexualities deserve to run wild and be loud and happy and not carry and be impacted by the shame that many of us have been taught to hold.
my cousin is a year younger than how old i was when i first realized i was queer and they've vaguely known they were queer for a couple years now. personally, i think that's pretty awesome. recently they've gotten into the very stereotypical scene kid aesthetic and i make a point to compliment them on it every time i see them. almost every time i see them they have a new adjustment as to how they view their gender/sexuality and i always tell them that that's really cool and i give them a hug. recently they told me they have a boyfriend and listed like 3 separate labels as to how he defines his gender and i asked them if i was remembering the definitions of all those words correctly (which i was because, like i said, i was that kid lol).
it's just all these small things that seem so trivial or "weird/cringe" that so many people look down on queer kids for engaging in and i'll never understand it. i think it is so unbelievably cool that these people are figuring themselves out and finding new terms and identities and things that they can be and they're just so excited by it. being excited by queerness is cool! wanting to engage in niche subcultures is cool! allowing yourself to be who you are in that moment without the worrying guilt of having to get it "right" is wonderful and awesome and cool and how it should be!! please do not teach the queer kids to be ashamed of themselves in a time where they should be able to run wild and figure out their identities in a way that truly makes them happy!!!!
#sorry for rambling but this is something im genuinely very passionate about#theres this idea of “oh theyll grow out of it”#okay and??#something something “show me a permanent state of self”#and even more infuriating is the idea of “they make the queer community look bad by having all these microlabels!!”#or “those labels/sexualities/genders arent real!"#fun fact buddy#gender and sexuality and even LANGUAGE#ISNT REAL#NONE OF ITS REAL#ITS ALL SOCIALLY CONSTRUCTED FICTIONAL CONCEPTS#IT MAKES NO SENSE TO WANT OTHER PEOPLE TO PLAY BY THESE FICTIONAL RULES YOU MADE UP FOR THESE FICTIONAL CONCEPTS#also cishet people aren't gonna respect you any more as a queer person just because you're one of the “normal” ones#and if they do. boy oh boy i have news for you.#they never respected you and your queerness in the first place#the purpose of queerness is not and never has been to be palatable#it is about being yourself and self expression and radical acceptance of the full range of human gender and sexuality#it is about finding joy in the very thing that people deem you an outcast for being#will these kids likely “grow out of it”? yes but that doesnt make their experiences any less real and true and valuable#imo queer kids exhibit one of the most true forms of queerness which is self-discovery#the way they radically embrace this thing about themselves they are largely taught to feel shame for is beautiful and commendable#we should honestly all be learning from them#and also supporting them!! this is a very crazy stage of life! let queer kids in your life know you love and support them!!#in every stage of their journey!!!#sorry ive been having a very rambly day today#but i just think about this every time i see my cousin#and i see myself in them and i know how awful i felt bc i had no one who cared/supported me in that#and i just want to make sure they have at least one person#who they know thinks theyre cool as fuck and is on their side 100%#also my cousin thinks im cool! which is crazy!! and i wouldve gone WILD if i knew that someone i thought was cool that *I* was cool!!!

one day I will sit down and properly explain how YJH’s narrative is very fitting to be trans-coded, but this is the summary:

#mei talks#I feel like people usually draw on the Breaking the Sky Sword technique and the Punisher for trans YJH#and while that is valid it also has some gaps that could be construed in other ways#all of that only truly comes together under the thematic umbrella that yjh is a person created to transcend the nature of his creation#he will always escape from the constructed roles and perceived limitations placed on him by others#he’s transcendent#he is the Man (as in humanity) of all time#a person always in the act of discovering their own personhood#which is pretty trans coded of him ngl!!!

ouuhhh fae village years how i crave to draw them.... i need them to be middle-aged and little silly about it
#plant#varpu is in the town council against their will becauseby fae rules they are the emuu of florals#hates every second if it but also no one can get it done like him. there's a vision.#and they don't trust woodland fae to do contracts with humans without sidelining waterfront and florals again so FINE. He'll be there#Tauno does various old man activites such as observing construction and planting potatoes.#Has a weird little crafting circle where they mostly talk shit. Goes to expeditions to check on magic levels and different veil formations#good enrichment to him. also someone gotta do it and fae cannot properly observe the effects the landscape has on humans#sometimes their little group finds new young fae societies also. those pop out more often now that soil is more drenched with magic#varpu wants to join but sometimes he's too busy and it's a bummer :/ another time...#Also the kid in the first pic is Aino#tbh i havent finalized her personality yet. Teenager. What else can you say.

fuck.
#animal death#i had a lot of waves of sadness early on when he was hospitalized.#going from being sad that we might only get one to two years with him to hoping we'd get to bring him home at all#processing all of the guilt and heartache and anger#feeling every time like i had done something constructive. opened a box‚ pulled out its contents‚ found a place for them all‚#put the box away‚ rested a moment. rinse repeat#or...taken a bite of a big meal in front of me. something nasty that i dont want to eat but which i have to#bite. chew. chew. chew. swallow. wash it down. rinse repeat.#it was miserable. thanks to that process i...i wasnt *ready*‚ when he started to go downhill. but i was more ready#and then when the time came‚ and he was lying slumped on the floor‚ face in the carpet‚ barely able to purr when i pulled him into my lap#i was ready.#but theres still more to process. the look on his face when they took him back for euthanasia#[the vet said that the animal often struggles more if the owners are there for it. i imagine they sense the owners' distress.]#theyd taken him back for bloodwork many times. i wonder if hed learned from that‚ that he'd get held for a second‚ pricked‚ and returned#i wonder if he believed it would just be a moment and hed be back in our arms#its a really really really sad thought. but. also a comforting one#that maybe he wasnt scared. maybe‚ if he was capable of it‚ he thought of us.#i know we loved him. i know he loved us‚ if in a different way‚ a cat way‚ not a human one#i hope he knew we loved him.#in the end i held him in my lap and he put his paws on my husband's‚ too. he wanted to touch both of us. and he purred.#he felt safe with us...he wanted to touch us and be with us. he felt content when he did. thats the same as knowing we loved him i think.#waves of sadness. over and through. tides and seafoam. rinse repeat.#this too shall pass
