i've had so many conversations with people in fandom/creators' circles who are genuinely afraid to make the stories or art they want because they fear (often with good reason!) that their friends might kick them out of their circles, or worse, launch a public harassment campaign against them.

as someone recovering from this fear-based mindset, i want to affirm:

- friends who use implicit or explicit threats to maintain social control are not your friends

- communities that monitor your social media and ao3 to surveil you for perceived transgressive content are not safe communities

- the vast majority of people are NOT going to hate you if you make the art you want

- if you find yourself in a friend group that makes you feel afraid to speak your mind, it's in your interest to disentangle yourself from that group as quickly as possible

- real, honest disagreements between friends can be solved respectfully without the use of public shaming

- if you're feeling afraid in a community, it's likely that others are feeling afraid too. support your friends who may be struggling to leave an abusive fan or creative community, and let them know you're a safe person to voice doubts and disagreement to.

- if you're feeling like you'll never find a safer community of people, i promise there are others who feel that way too. it may take some time, but you'll find people who treat you and your ideas with respect. a good place to start is the people who make the type of art that you admire but that you're too afraid to make yourself.

ok that's all, take care of each other and be nice 💜

I need to make, I don't know, a video essay or something. To make the point to normies that like, George Bush and a bunch of other mainstream political figures in recent US history have been war criminals, no, not like in some radical left wing activist speak way like just in a centrist liberal I think the UN charter means something straight up these guys are literally actual war criminals, no, I know, everyone calls everyone war criminals and fascists these days I get it I get it your least favorite politician is like hitler but no not like that like literally, these guys are literally war criminals who committed war crimes in a literal, actual, they actually did it not a theoretical what if it happened here it could happen here way no not like that, like, just regular, actually, just straight up, I cannot express to you how moderate and not radical and just straight up literal regular this opinion is way, war criminals who did actual specific major war crimes that killed a bunch of people and they should probably be in prison, really, really I promise, these guys should be actually in prison probably

I think an underutilized thing in dungeon design (especially for games that use gold-for-xp) is treasure that is completely in plain sight in a very obvious way, but that's going to require some creative solution to obtain and/or transport back to the surface, such as large gems encrusted on an extremely high dome ceiling, or a solid gold statue at the bottom of a large well.

How can the players get those gems? How can they pull that statue out of the well and drag it up the central staircase? I don't know, my job is coming up with the situations, not the solutions.

What I remember most about the movement away from "trans*" is that it originated from a small clique of bloggers who decided that agreeing with them unquestioningly was "listening to trans women" and that disagreeing with them was transmisogynist. Certified 2010s Tumblr moment.

it's been long enough since the original online transmedicalist wars that i think we, as gender criminals and binary perverters, could reapproach the possibility of re-incorporating two depreciated pieces of vocabulary:

trans*, with the asterisk representing identities that aren't transgender, but share certain experiences of violating the gender and sex binaries (i.e. intersex folks, crossdressers who go on hormones, drag performers, etc), and

genderqueer, not as a specific identity, but as an umbrella term for any person, whether trans or cis or both or neither, who queers gender.

the depreciation of this vocabulary was pretty bad-faith and wrapped up in the aforementioned online transmedicalist wars -- hell, dropping "genderqueer" as an umbrella term was specifically pushed by radfems (both trans-exclusive and -inclusive) on the premise that "queer is a slur."

any subsequent attempts to create or use new vocabulary to mean similar concepts has been met with ridicule and bad faith. many mainstream media outlets use "nonbinary" to replace "genderqueer," but are met with rejection because nonbinary is a specific identity, not an umbrella term, and calling someone who does not identify as trans, or who does identify with one or both binary genders, "nonbinary" is considered misgendering to many.

but it's a new decade. we are currently, right now, struggling to articulate our shared struggles as gender-variant peoples under this new wave of worldwide fascism. as a medically transitioning person who fits the oldschool use of "genderqueer," and who doesn't fit into either "trans" or "cis" categories, i've been struggling to articulate my experiences using any of the current popular trans vocabulary. maybe it's time to revisit these words and assess their use through new eyes.

if tumblr dies you can find me acting on my best behaviour turn your back on mother nature everybody wants to rule the world

1. it's actually insane that most ppl are so attached to the idea of banning children from engaging in hobbies being good and healthy behavior that it's like, the joke ppl pull out consistently when they want to caricature youthlib ppl. imagine your roommate stealing your belongings or changing the wifi password and banning from playing video games or legos or going on the internet or whatever as an adult cuz you broke some house rule or got a bad grade in your college class or disagreed with your roommate or whatever. ok well actually i have had a roommate do this to me but still most ppl would agree that that's insane behavior. but not for children thats totally normal and cool

2. it's incredibly depressing when ppl are like humblebragging abt how comparatively great their parents were and still there's a bunch of weird dog training shit in there

i think we should maybe start killing people

Silas Octakiseron really showed up at Canaan House as a teenager wearing decorative chain mail, looked at Our Beloved Sex Pal and said, "Your parents are related, and that's why your face looks like that. You earned your job by demonstrating skill, like a loser. Your cavalier is an animal, and not in a good, obedient way like my substantially older nephew. Have fun with the bone dykes. Silas out."
