Hello all. I would like to talk to other trolls about possible cultural things?

[other-blooded]

Is it stereotypical to identify with the jade caste in part due to my maternal nature? Is it reductive?

not at all.

[other-blooded]

This.. from my old blog.

Tr9lls are amazing and all, especially transTr9lls, 6ut if y9u are g9ing t9 j9in us, y9u sh9uld educate y9urself 9n 9ur hist9ry and culture, al9ng with p9litics and just av9id using slurs. Als9, enf9rcing caste system prejudice is a quick way t9 get 6l9cked. It is a h9rri6le thing that leaves many 9f 9ur kind suffering everyday.

[other-blooded]

Haha! My apologies.

What do you do to feel euphoric in your blood color? Do you have any tips? I feel weird and clockable wearing my symbol in my desired color, and have been mocked before for "that Homestuck shit", so if you have anything a little less overt I'd really appreciate it.

Also, what was your exploration like? I was and am afraid to be hemophobic, both internally and to trolls of other castes. How did you discover you were pink blooded?

Hm! I supposed smaller things like jewelry or maybe clothes or even a blog theme in your desired color could help? As our clothes typically correspond with the color of our blood. As does our internet presence (unless hiding it). makeup, can help. Also! Try and look into the specific caste type and any differences they had from the other castes. Try to mimic those things! Maybe make a blog?

It was.. scary, to say the least. I had always prided myself on being otherblooded, it felt like i was throwing it all alway. I understand the fear of being hemophobic, but the best way to overcome that is to be open to correction and learning. That’s the best anybody can do. It was quite a easy thing actually, I remember once, letting a friend dress me up head to toe in fancy clothes, it was mostly pink because she didn’t have.. red. But, I liked it. I’ve decided since then that I felt pink blooded, and I wasn’t going to give that up.

Oh dear. That must of been so irritating.

Does anybody remember the base of our horns being quite itchy? It would . flake? I suppose? Old horn fragments chipping off as the new permanent part grew in. I remember it was nice to get the base of your horns scratched or “preened” basically.

[other-blooded]

I do not know how.. scaray it is, because I do not have money.

I still have some troll mannerisms in me, but i’m not sure how much of this is collective, seeing as I was very disordered.

Small twitches of the neck, especially in irritation and stress, it feels like i’m still flaring up my ears and similar muscles.

Or constantly checking my fingers and stretching them because sometimes the exoskeleton gets stiff and stuck.

THEY HIT THE FUCKING PENTAGON (mutuals keep getting sniped by tumblr)

[other-blooded]

Oh dear, that’s quite unfortunate. Do you need comfort?

[other-blooded]

Hello all, I suppose for convenience and.. lack of motivation, I will be dropping my typing quirk for the foreseeable future.

I would like to interact with others out there, but I’m not sure how to start.

Hm, maybe some caste positivity? Since there has been such.. discomfort out there.

For otherblooded castes, I believe we are all quite resilient, and i’m proud of us.

[other-blooded]

I know you're otherblooded but would you or have you ever considered yourself transblooded? Maybe due to internalized hemophobia or even just exploration? Or even genuinely, an identification with another caste? Not to suggest you shouldn't be proud of your blood color of course, but moreso because I myself am questioning it and don't really have any resources or trolls in the same boat as me to look towards.

Even if you yourself don't have any experience, do you know of anyone that would, or anywhere I should look? You're kind of The Justice Guy so I sort of figured you may know something, but I guess that may be a little presumptuous on my part and also may imply some things so hopefully this doesn't come off as anything more than a bid for advice and guidance. Apologies and thank you in advance

I actually am glad you reached out, none of this was taken in a negative light, thank you. I actually do consider myself transblooded, though, not through internalized hemophobia or anything like that. I consider myself something of a “Pink” blooded troll, though it doesn’t exist on the scale. It makes me euphoric when I imagine myself as my desired bloodtype.

I am always open to any questions you may or may not have. Nothing is a stupid question, please ask away.

“Isn’t this spam?”

No, it’s not. This is a real, vetted campaign for a family in urgent need. I know the tags and asks might be annoying to some, and others may see this as spam. Some are even triggered by the cause itself or by my friend’s name. I’ve also received plenty of negative comments and messages.

But none of that will stop me. Tumblr is a way to reach people, and I will keep trying.

“Why multiple accounts?” Tumblr has strict limitations on posts, asks, and replies. If one account isn’t enough, I’ll create ten. If Tumblr isn’t enough, I’ll go to other platforms too. And if it takes 1,000 accounts to help my friend, so be it.

“Still think it’s spam?”

No donations go to a PayPal account, where verification could be unclear, the total amount isn’t public or known, and the progress of total donations is hidden. This campaign is hosted on GoFundMe, one of the most trusted fundraising platforms in the world, where: - Personal identity must be verified - A matching personal bank account is required - The use of funds must be clarified - Donations are protected

Yet you still think this is spam? That’s up to you. But I’m not stopping.

“I don’t know you, why should I care?” You may not know me, but do you really need to know someone personally to lend a helping hand? When people are in crisis, kindness shouldn’t come with conditions.

“Why not restrict replies?” I could easily restrict replies, but I won’t. Because I want transparency, even if it means dealing with negativity. This is real, and I stand by it.

Apologies if the tags and asks are annoying. I know they can be, but I’m just trying to reach more people. You can always ignore me, but if this message finds someone willing to help, then it’s worth it. ❤️

[other-blooded]

There's been some caste discrimination going around lately. That has to stop. We collectively, as a species, know better than that. Just because it was fine in your source or whatever does not make it okay now. We are not incapable of growth.

Every troll is deserving of respect, dignity, and kindness.

And stop it with the slurs.
