man I see these posts about stopping negative thought loops by talking to yourself like a stern parent or jokingly saying “drop it” like a dog. and if it works for you it works, but the way it’s the only dynamic I’ve seen in these type of posts disturbs me a little if we’re being honest. my own head is the only place I never have to be “redirected” or silenced by parental figures if I don’t want to be, and conceptualizing myself as a trained animal (while funny) isn’t very appealing either. I know those posts mean it in a nice ‘healing’ way and all but I just wonder why humans turn to these authority based dynamics so quickly. Is the only way we know how to “help” someone by declaring them unworthy of the agency we grant ourselves so we can arbitrarily command them to stop doing things that make us uncomfortable? to the point where we even do it to ourselves in our own minds? genuine philosophical question

woooo new oc time
Meet,
Sunbaked Finch Cookie! Based off a vampire ground finch!
Sunbaked Finch, much like the vampire ground finch, has a habit of feeding off of other cookies! Formed from a rather unpleasant childhood (trauma), this habit has gotten them into trouble before, but they’ve made no attempt to fix it, and will continue to not fix it until it kills them!
Friends are, unfortunately, not exempt from their feeding habits! As found out by Ventresca Cookie (belonging to @limboraptor) at, some point!
Sunbaked Finch Cookie, and will, bite anything that moves- whether it’s friend or foe does not particularly matter to them-
While I’m not too sure how Sunbaked Finch met Ventresca, I can say with certainty that if anyone were to be considered a part of Ventresca’s crew, they likely would be, even if unofficially! They’re about as looney bins as would be needed to willingly go into an entire hurricane for one sea beast. Although they are, of course, mainly going for the prospects of food, and helping a friend.
Fun fact; Sunbaked Finch used to have wings!
Keywords; used to.
sort of comic below the cut; warning for, possibly disturbing imagery? Not too sure how well anyone would take wing “bones” trying to break through “skin”. So- yeah look with caution?
”Hey, Ven, could you look at my back? It feels like something’s been pushing against my shirt-“
“Sure, couldn’t be too-
…baadd…-“
“Oh shit.”
“Huh? Ven?- Ventresca? What’s wrong?-“
(this is where that warning comes in.)
“….We’re paying a visit to a doctor.”
and now, wingless lore <3
Sunbaked’s wings were removed forcefully, after an incident where they were caught by another cookie in high power after draining some poor bloke dry of their jam. Sunbaked was expected to be facing charges for what would have been considered a murder, but, their, captor so to speak, thought of a different punishment for them rather than jail time.
You can guess where that went- but yeah, Sunbaked basically had their wings ripped off for doing their best to survive :D
This will all probably change at some point so enjoy this trauma while it lasts- and shoot me if this is too edgy for a cookie that looks like them ;-;

I know I’ve made other posts talking about or alluding to this but like. obviously there are like the old hollywood movies in the sort of dyke subtext canon (all about eve, rebecca, johnny guitar, etc) but like. there are so many movies that like 10 people have seen but I have such a clear gay vision or interpretation for it. most of them aren’t even GOOD. and yet!!
like the great lie is the one that haunts me the most (or the women but I think that one is kind of different for me perhaps bc I’ve already talked about it here a lot or perhaps bc I think of it as being more well known and watched than I think it actually is? actually it’s probably that I think it is an overall good and well executed and entertaining movie which isn’t really true of most of these tbh). but I also think a lot about like when ladies meet, or old acquaintance, or sadie mckee, or the shining hour, or the model and the marriage broker, or a woman’s secret, or the bigamist, or craig’s wife, or born to be bad, or separate tables, or even dark victory to a degree. others too certainly those are just the ones that come to mind. for half of these it’s not even like oh these women are gay together it’s just like hey I think she’s a lesbian. and I’m right. but my genius will never be fully appreciated in my day unfortunately.
