don't remember when where or how I read an interrogation about how blood could still be given to the earth and that human sacrifices would be needed to keep the herbs growing (likely paraphrasing because as mentioned above i don't rember💀) but I've always thought [regardless of if the narrative is based enough to mean it] that

menstrual blood. evident to me at least.
#unless the earth is reaaaaaaally particular about ''blood'' that she wont accept endometrium#even if afaik every culture sees ''menstrual blood'' as. well. blood.#like as long as there is menstruation in the town and the steppe i think everyone will be set. like blood aplenty.#thats one of the reasons the Kin has an all-women spiritual caste within its intricate spiritual weaving of customs methinks#and on top of ''giving [their] juices to the earth'' they're supposed to stay virgins (because pregnancy obviously stops menstruation)#[with all the binary thinking that it includes yadda yadda that's not surprising a lot of animist traditions esp. those who have#an earth-mother goddess/proto- or pseudo-divinized entity have binaries like that [sun-moon earth-sky etc etc])#in a pinch you can probably ask non-Brides kinwomen. or even townswomen. i'm sure eva would like to try.#neigh (blabbers)#herb brides lore#<- real to me#if it is not evident by my vocabulary this is a good-natured post im being silly.#it makes sense why people see the earth as necessitating human-sacrifice-blood and the narrative does lean this way. but i dont.#in no small part because i be fleshing out characters the narrative forgets to flesh out because it's too interested in#its cringefail 5D chess over the sexualization of the brides. and losing too.

despite me loving pearlina an unbelievable amount and being crazy attached to them since middle school i will say i feel kinship with acht and their intolerance for those two's flirting. the aroace hater spirit is alive and well in them and i think thats beautiful
#every time a person interprets acht's hater attitude as stemming from jealousy an angel dies THEY ARE AROACE#<- REAL TO ME#serena.txt

slow down for your disabled friends. thats like a bare minimum kindness that we shouldnt have to ask for. i love that youre so quirky and walking fast is a cool personality trait to you and all that but i bet you can count your physically disabled friends on less than one hand
#in a perfect world the move im gay meme would be about being fat or having a mobility aid and people just standing in your way in public#my bemoanings#debated posting this but itd be nice to have some solidarity where my mobility aid users at who have not a lot of good outside friends#also if youre a friend of mine who is worried that you might be the person in the comic im gonna be real#MULTIPLE ppl have said this exact thing to me and id rather you just slow down next time. dont come to me asking for forgiveness or smth#also straight up the person in this comic i havent seen for years because they were mean to me anyways

Once when I was a kid my dad told me to “stop being a you-know-what”. And we’d done the whole song and dance enough times that I knew he meant “bitch”, so I told him: That’s cheating. You know what you mean, and I know what you mean- you’re just stepping around it so you can pretend you’re on the high ground. So if you’re going to call me a bitch, at least have the balls to actually say it.
And it’s been about fifteen years since then but I’m just now figuring out that that’s the same feeling I get hearing shit like “grape” and “unalive”.
If your audience knows what you mean, you might as well actually say it. Otherwise you’re just fucking hiding
#This isn’t about avoiding a censor btw this is about watering down language in real life#No human being talking to my face better dilute this shit it pisses me off#Girl we are in a COLLEGE CLASSROOM youre not gonna get demonitized

I hate how often some (typically abled) people will go “well, if you can’t [get a specific support], then what?” when it comes to disabilities. As if it’s a “gotcha” moment. And then act like you’re exaggerating when you answer that question honestly.
Disabled people often die from a lack of support. A lot of disability aids are not a luxury, but a basic need in order to live.
“Well what happens if—” people die. People hurt themselves. People hurt others. Disabled people don’t magically become abled if our needs aren’t met.
If a bedbound quadriplegic is caught in a housefire, and there’s nobody there to save them, they’ll probably die. They won’t magically become able-bodied out of sheer will.
If a nonspeaking/nonverbal autistic is denied access to alternative methods of communication, they’ll suffer in silence. They won’t spontaneously become capable of speech.
Disabled people are disabled all the time. Our disabilities don’t go away just because they’re inconvenient, or if we’re in danger.
#disability advocacy#disability#so tired of hearing this type of argument. ‘well in the real world you won’t be able to—‘ yeah and we’ll suffer because of it.#actually disabled#actually autistic#<- me#I write this through the lens of someone who is autistic and disabled by it#autism#asd#autism spectrum disorder

i am so absolutely utterly scared that my insane grandfather in his 80s who runs miles every morning is going to leave me a bird in his will and i am especially scared he is going to leave me a large cockatoo named "captain hook". hook has been trying to make me his child bride since i was like 6 years old and every time i see him again which has only been a couple times with decades in between hook is like "you. it's always been you. ever since you were born i've known we were meant to be" captain hook you are a bird and i am a LESBIAN and i don't WANT an eternal sentinel captain HOOK!!!!!!!
#it's been a real catherine called birdy situation between me and captain hook#hopefully being a dyke will save me from being in the will

The majority of the Earth’s rodents: How do you survive environments with practically zero oxygen, feel no pain, and live for decades when none of the rest of us can???

oh damn
so I know I'm not super-active on here anymore, but i hit 300K followers on here, and i'm feeling a little sentimental at 1:30 in the morning.
13 years ago, I started this tumblr out of sheer desperation. I was 21 years old and fresh out of college, I knew I wanted to be a voice actor, had no idea how that would ever be achievable, no one knew who I was. I decided to make this Tumblr to practice voice acting and I pledged to make an audio post every single day. I did this without fail for years.
I started out doing fandubs and comic dubs and reading shitposts, anything I could think of. My Lackadaisy dubs were the first thing that got real traction, I'll always be thankful to Tracy for reblogging those (and yes, it is insanely surreal to think that a decade later I would be voicing Mordecai in an animated version for real).
I improved exponentially by posting here every day. I was entirely self-taught, I've never taken a class, I just practiced every day (even when there were countless days I wanted to give up) and through sheer force of will, I started to improve.
Everything I have achieved in my life so far is because of this Tumblr. I truly could not have ever dreamed of being where I'm at now and what I have accomplished. So whether you know me from my old shitposts or comic dubs or Goofy posts or Vines or YouTube videos or my professional voice acting roles, I just want to say thank you for your support. It's been a crazy ride. Looking forward to what comes next.
