#I hate fake claiming

[caitas-cooing]

Reblog this post if you are professionally diagnosed and you support informed self diagnosis and you hate people accusing others of faking disorders when they have no evidence to support that

Okay I can't believe I have to say this: I am 100% against fakeclaiming. Meaning if you even squint in the direction of someone who says they have OSDDID, I don't want you near me. My last post was explicitly anti-fakeclaiming, and if you read it as some mild in-between of "Well, I don't mind it when people fakeclaim in SOME instances uwu" NO. Not a single one.

Fakeclaiming completely destroyed my ability to trust my mental health professionals. I was convinced they'd believe I was faking it. I haven't told most people in my life despite desperately needing accommodation, because the first (and only) time I opened up about it to someone, they instantly fakeclaimed me. I already doubted myself and it took me MONTHS to disclose my DID symptoms to my psychiatrist because I was so scared I was secretly faking it. I still cannot properly believe myself, and I was diagnosed nearly a YEAR ago. I have been petrified of being open as a system out of fear of being harassed on the streets.

Fakeclaimers cannot see that they are damaging people with OSDDID, because they've convinced themselves their fakeclaiming exists in a bubble. They thrash wildly in every direction and just hope they're mostly taking down fakers. But if they take down actual systems? Collateral. Maybe don't act like such a faker next time. There was literally no part during my life where I felt as though fakeclaimers AT ALL helped me. There was no point in my life where I ever wished "Man, I just really hope this random 14-year-old system on TikTok gets harassed or I'm gonna have a rough day."

You know what I've wished for? I wished I knew for certain my friends and family would believe me. I wish I didn't have to be worried that the first words off my mental health professionals' lips would be "You're making that up." I wish I could be open about this illness when I'm more stable and it's less dangerous for me without the risk of people assuming my openness came from a lack of pain and understanding, rather than a domination of it. I wish I could casually bring up I'm a system in conversations without being worried that someone is going to interrogate me. I wish I didn't fear waking up one day to someone deeming me one of the cringe systems and launching a harassment campaign against me.

Fakeclaimers are actively stripping this reality away from me. So I'm going to make it clear again: I am not on your side. I am not some mild in-between of "Sometimes fakeclaiming is okay!" If you fakeclaim people, even the ""real fakers"", get away from me. If you actually gave a shit about systems, you would be using that energy to prop up systems and OSDDID resources, not harassing random internet users.

I’ve decided that any and all anon hate I get in the future is gonna be pitted against other anon hate I get in a poll and battled out gladiator style for which insult is worse. Gives me something funny to do with it since I get rude anons semi regularly and these days none of them are funny enough to publish on their own.

The two contestants!

Contestant A;

And contestant B;

Some additional information to sway your vote regarding each hate anon!

I’m not even a DID system, we have OSDD-1b (medically recognized)

I do in fact identify as pan and gay. So at least contestant A is correct in their assumptions

I am in fact fat! So contestant B at least got one part right

I am proud of my gay pan identity so not much Emotional Damage there

Fake claiming is stupid so also not much Emotional Damage there either

Now, time to see them battle it out!

Poll lasts for one week. There is no prize for the winner, as I am the winner for being able to make funny posts off of people trying and failing to get under my skin.

The tag I’ll be using for this is ‘anon hate arena’. So block or whitelist as you please.

ways they could've kept the theme of the gods punishing people labeled as monsters and it's actually more complicated then that" without including the bullshit sexist Ovid "myth" of Athena and Poseidon:

Athena is still the one that helps Perseus slay Medusa, so it would still make sense for her to hate Athena and by proxy Annabeth. To Medusa she was just out here living her life, her and her sisters were just existing. And then the gods suddenly decided she deserved to die. And in most versions of the myth Perseus was just after her essentially as a spoil of war, to offer her head to a king. Or, as a tool to kill said king. She could be angry about that, angry at Athena for helping a couple of mortals kill her, angry at demigods and men for using her as a tool or prop for their own selfish reasons. Angry that she's still considered a monster in need of slaying, and not a woman, a person. Gorgons were considered powerful, revered even. Their visage in Ancient Greece was used above doorways, on coins and jewelry, as a symbol of protection. Like there's such good material here, that's actually accurate to Greek myths and doesn't perpetrate the writing of some misogynistic Roman poet.

my reaction to that information

[transramcoa]

To the anon in my inbox, unconsensual trauma dumping is not cute no matter what. I don’t give a flying fuck what “reason” you have :33

I regret to inform you that my fave is getting bodied again in another poll

omg can we continue the discussion like this? @lemonhemlock​ holding a back and forth in replies is such a pain in the ass 😭

similarly this does not explain why maegelle, vaegon, daella, saera, viserra, & gael did not have dragons with their presumed 43.75%, even tho they had "purer" blood than rhaenyra. same with orys and his baratheon brood.

It’s not stated clearly anywhere but personally I think this is because Jaehaerys held a tight rein on dragon ownership. Maegor and his brother Aegon the Uncrowned’s death would have been reason for him to not let just about anyone have dragons. His daughters especially because 1. he was a raging misogynist and 2. they would be marrying into other houses so of course Jaehaerys would not want other houses to posses Targaryen dragons. The one daughter of his he allowed to have a dragon was married to his second son (third technically but you get what I mean) and would have stayed within House Targaryen + even became Crown Princess/Queen-to-be so it makes sense why Alyssa was allowed a dragon but not the rest of his children sans Aemon (future King) and Baelon (future Hand and then future King). And while Jaehaerys acknowledges House Baratheon as a House Targaryen offshoot, House Baratheon is not House Targaryen so it makes sense why Jaehaerys would never give the Baratheons access to dragons. Why Rhaenys was allowed a dragon I have less explanations for, but it’s worth noting that she wasn’t allowed one until Alyssa died. Jaehaerys probably thought Aemon would still produce a son one day and Rhaenys would marry him and the line would continue through them, meaning Rhaenys would one day become Queen Consort. I mean, we know Jaehaerys don’t give a fuck about age gaps so 😬

elaena targaryen has a dragon egg yet it never hatches with her 20% targness. nor can anyone else down the line succeed afterwards in bringing dragons back. as a result, i don't think it's that much of a stretch to presume that the more your magical blood gets diluted, the less able to are to access your magical inheritance superpowers.

I don’t necessarily disagree with this, I just mean that Helaena’s non-Targ children would be in the same bracket as Laena/Laenor and Jace/Luke/Joff in the “dragon blood” genetics, so I do not think that Helaena being 50% non-Valyrian and then her children being 75% non-Valyrian would pose an issue for those supposed children were they to claim dragons. Laena/Laenor and Jace/Luke/Joff had dragons just fine and they only had a little bit more “dragon blood” than Helaena’s would-be children would have in this scenario.

i see dany as villain-coded myself, but i don't think what makes her a villain is her parents & grandparents committing incest - that's not smth she would have had any control over and it wouldn't be fair to pin it on her.

I know and I think I kinda worded my point a little wrongly but I was arguing the semantics rather than the pedantics really. “Why is it Daenerys of the three-headed dragon who is unequivocally a villain but not the other two?” Well because thematically, it is Daenerys who is fully cloaked in Targaryen-ness while the other two have their maternal families to offset the Targaryen curse. Aegon is referred to as the Sun’s Son (Elia’s son), he grew up on the Rhoyne, he has Dornish companions, he refuses forging an alliance with his aunt and her dragons, he will marry a Dornishwoman, he has more family on his Dornish mother’s side than his Targaryen father’s who he can count on etc. etc. and Jon I obviously do not have to explain. Daenerys doesn’t have that because her mother’s family is her father’s so she doesn’t have any choice (I don’t mean literally) but to be a Targaryen ... which is what leads her down the path of villainy because The Targ/Valyrian Mindset™️ is The Great Evil of the story (thematically) (also because she was raised by Viserys but I’m gonna go waaaaay off topic here if I explain but to keep it short if Daenerys had never been raised by Viserys then she never would have ended up as the great tyrant that she is now. She’s genuinely one of those villains who turned out the way she did because of the way she was raised and there could even be made a case for Viserys as well but this is off topic so let me end it here).

Rather than GRRM having Daenerys be a descendant of two generations of incest because he wanted to strengthen her dragon blood so that she can hatch the eggs, I think it’s because of the semantics that set her apart from the other two Targaryens who are so chiefly tied to their non-Targaryen mothers. (And then what sets Aegon apart from Jon is that Egg grew up as a Targaryen still and looks fully Valyrian whereas Jon did and does not. Which is why Egg will die but Jon will live because House Targ must go extinct but Aegon would have fixed and restored the dynasty without succumbing to his crazy ancestors’ insanity and leaving a legacy of blood 🥲 whichisalsothereasonwhyRhaenyshadtodieandbereplacedbyDaenerys but that’s a conversation for another day lol.) Daenerys doesn’t have that. She doesn’t have the Rhoynish/Dornish part of her as a reminder and warning of Valyrian/Targaryen hubris like Aegon does and again I do not need to explain Jon. I think that’s why GRRM made Daenerys descend from two generations of incest, not to keep her blood “pure” in order to hatch those eggs. That happened because of the blood magic ritual anyway (which we both agree on) and I’m sure Aegon and Jon could have performed that ritual and gotten the same results either way, less incest ancestry or no.

ANYWAYS THE POINT WAS I DON’T THINK HELAENA MARRYING A NON-TARG WOULD LEAD TO ISSUES WITH HER CHILDREN TRYING TO CLAIM DRAGONS!!!!! HOW THE HELL DID WE GET TO THIS POINT 😭

after my tags on the last post i reblogged, i just spent a STUPID amount of time imagining the moral dilemma of what i would do if i ever came across alex's death ramps ring...like would i be selfish enough to keep it? it's been so long now that he's probably over it (?!) but also i would want to be a good person and give it back - but also if i did, i would probably try to negotiate returning it to him in person as my compensation 🤣🤣 or like vip tickets or something bc im nothing if not resourceful x (altho how would i even contact them in the first place??) but also,,,,,owning HIS ring would be dizzying?! like i would become gollum abt it i would never want to let it go realistically

If I had a nickel for every time a psychiatrist straight up told me lies I would have too fucking many and that's a problem.
