#ar: che’nya why

[your-local-grinning-cat]

This is a TOTALLLY REÄL TORALLY ANGY callout post for @r7v3n and anyone else that doesn’t pay attention to tags normally!¡!! 😠😡🤬

First of all!!!!

Hi. 👋 How’s it going? I wuv you. 🫶😸

Second of all!!!!!

An important note to you from me, meowself, and I: many a time, reading the tags on my posts gives you a much muchier experience when it comes to the CheshireTM brand! Not always, but a lot!

Entire conversations can, and have, been had in tags. Sometimes it’s just me talking, sometimes I talk with AR, sometimes I/AR talk back and forth with the person I am rebageling posts back and forth with, and sometimes ooc notes are made in the tags where mods talk back and forth that can be just as interesting/funny.

Third of all!!!!!

I did, in fact, MEAN TO WRITE REBAGELING. LET ME LIVE MY LIFE! 🥯😤

AR Speaks OOC

Update!

And so the bathroom renos begin! 😱

…or rather it’s been going on since 7 this morning but ya know what I mean 😂

[your-local-grinning-cat]

...*deep deep sigh* yeah I did that to myself, should've specified.

Alright, this question is important for my next set of notes, does catnip have an effect on you, and are you okay with it being used

=O_O=

Oh Shi-

AR: If you give him catnip again I will personally find out who you are, no matter your anon status, and BURN NOT ONLY ALL OF YOUR NOTES BUT THE BUILDING HOUSING THEM DOWN WITH THEM.

Che’nya: ……were you always this violent?……

AR: If you want to find out what he’s like on catnip, look up the “catnipped che’nya” tag.

Che’nya: That doesn’t work so well on mobile… but yeah. I have already had my catnip event of the year.

AR: AND I CAN ONLY HANDLE IT EVERY SO OFTEN.

Che’nya: I mean, to be fair, it’s not usually that bad…. And my high doesn’t usually last that long. But Leona had a hell of a lot of catnip around him when he pulled me in and then people kept giving me more…

AR: I don’t want to hear it. Not when I know you can choose to end its effects whenever you want to if you really wish to.

Che’nya: …I was having fun?

AR: I WASN’T.

Happy Pride Month Tulgey Wood Watchers! 😸🏳️‍🌈

So, I was inspired by @b0njourbeach’s current Pride series and decided to to treat you all to two edits today! One of Che’nya and one of AR.

This is with their permission, I asked and they gave the go ahead. They made a nonbinary Che’nya edit for their still on-going series, and they also make other very fun/funny twst photo edit series. I def recommend checking out their blog. I adore Che’nana. 🤣

I chose to do two different edits. One focused on sexuality and one focused on gender! Also, I did both these photo edits on my phone so please forgive me for them being not as good as they could be, especially Che’nya’s hair and earrings. 😭

I will also preface this by reminding everyone this is just my headcanon for the Che’nya on this blog!

Putting this under a cut because explaining my headcanons for Che’nya got a little long! 😁

Anyway, I think we all know at this point that my Che’nya is not heterosexual. Neither is AR! However, while Che’nya is pansexual, AR could almost be considered the exact opposite, hilariously enough.

AR is asexual!

What you didn’t think I would be doing a face reveal for this did you? 🤭

If I had to decide which kind I am out of space, cake, dragon, and garlic bread… I would probably go with garlic bread ace tbh. Dragon ace is a very close second though. 😂

Now, while AR considers themselves cisgender but goes by they/them on this blog (but is also just ????? on their gender overall because gender is hard wtf 😵‍💫) Che’nya is not cis!

Surprise! It’s a he! It’s a she! It’s a they! It’s a zey! It’s a cat!

It’s Che’nya! And he is genderfluid!

And yes, the flag is represented a bit upside down… well that would be because Che’nya got dressed in the Looking Glass world. Whoopsies! 😹

Now, you may be wondering, if Che’nya is genderfluid, why does he use he/him pronouns basically all the time? That’s because, while I chose to edit him as genderfluid, his identity actually goes a bit deeper than that.

See, Che’nya doesn’t care what gender he identifies as, or what he is perceived as, or what pronouns are given. If you address Che’nya as her, then she’ll roll with it. She doesn’t care. Why would she? She’s still Che’nya. The same applies if you address her as them. They simply continue as they were - which is usually causing mischief and trouble. They do tend to do that. Call zem out on something? Do you really think that will stop zem? Zey could not care less.

However, while Che’nya is genderfluid, his identity could be further classified as a subset of genderfluid - demifluid. Meaning, one part of his gender is static while other parts are fluid.

Now, generally this static part is nonbinary, but it can be binary, and for Che’nya it is. Because, going even further?

Che’nya is a demifluid boy.

Which means the one part of his gender that is static, that sticks with him more, is his more masculine side.

Basically, to put it simply, he’s genderfluid, but masculine leaning.

Which is why, most of the time, he goes by he/him pronouns and that is what he defaults to. But for the most part?

Che’nya is just vibin and having fun! 👍

Happy Pride everyone!

HAPPY

🎂 BIRTHDAY 🎂

TO ME~!!!

*cracks knuckles*

EXPLANANATION TIME!!!

(because AR needed to make this work somehow)

SO!

I am officially being labeled a Leapling on this blog!

I was born on February 29th, 2008!

“But Che’nya! That would mean you’ve only been through 16 years! You’re younger than Riddle! 🙀”

NOPE!

I’m a Cheshire. Time is a good friend of mine~! =^w^=

I made a bet with him that I could beat him at chess. If he won, I would lose a year. If I won, I would gain a year.

Naturally, I won. :3

Aaaaaaand then I nabbed another year while he wasn’t looking because when else was I ever going to get that chance?! Plus… for the lolz. 😹

Time was so mad… but also grudgingly impressed I managed to do it, so he just let me have it as long as I purromised to never do it again. Which… why would I need to? I was already 2 years older! My friend Trey’s age! I was happy with that. 😸

So… I may have been born in 2008, but I am 18 years old! Or rather… physically I am 18.

Because birthday wise? Today I am turning 4 years old!

😹😹😹

AR Speaks OOC

Going to be real with you all for a bit.

I’m not even really on Che’nya’s page right now - I’m making this post from my main and just changing the poster.

To be honest, I’m a bit nervous to change to Che’nya’s. Because I can see I have over 50 notifications, but I know I actually have even more, because I had more that got marked as “read” even though I hadn’t dealt with them before logging off the last time I was on.

😱😱😱😱😱

And that may not be a lot to some of you, but for me, someone who tries to answer as many of you as I can… that’s a lot.

As much as I want to pop back onto Che’nya and see what chaos Che’nya can cause and see what mischief all of you have for me, that’s… a bit overwhelming for me right now.

I may just have to drop some reblog chains that were going on if I come back today, unfortunately.

I hope that would be okay with everyone?

I put so much energy into every one of my responses that even one usually takes a lot of time. Even looking for the proper gif I want to use for the situation can take up quite a bit of time for me. I’m a perfectionist by nature. And it doesn’t help that some gif’s that come up with some “cat” keywords are uhhhhh… yeah. 😳 So by the time I’ve responded to one notification, I’ve often gotten several more.

And yeah, a lot of them are likes and things I don’t need to respond to, but still. Because of how much effort I put into the responses, I often take small breaks to chat to people in DMs and on discord between responses so I don’t completely melt my brain. But that takes up even more time…

Which all combines to mean that being on Che’nya is often a several hour straight event for me.

And that’s honestly why I get so burnt out so quickly - why I often appear and then disappear for a while. Which doesn’t help the situation, of course.

So that’s why I’m posting this.

Because I think that’s just how I’m going to have to do this from now on. As much as I hate leaving people hanging, I’m just going to have to choose some chains to end in order to focus on more recent ones and hopefully manage my notifs better.

That way, I can feel better coming back with Che’nya and won’t disappear so often and so frequently. He likes to disappear, but not as often as he has been. 😅

I won’t be getting on Che’nya right after posting this, but I will check my blog later and look at this post to see the general response of people before looking at notifications.

And sorry to those I was having dm convos with - @blind0raven probably, as well as @castaway-achlys because since I haven’t been checking I haven’t gotten your messages.

But hey! Foxy!

Extra message for you from Che’nya under the cut! :D

I got bnnuy Deuce. Twice. Ima steal yo man if you don’t hurry the fuck up and confess to him, you chicken. 😼

AR Speaks OOC

Hey all!

Just so you know, I have not forgot about you all!

I’ve been taking a bit of a break because…

It was my mother’s birthday! 🥳 Needed to celebrate with her!

I got a migraine. That took me out for an entire day. Migraines are not fun, and I suffer from them and headaches pretty often… so of course I am an online junkie! Aren’t I so smart? 🙄

I have been commissioned to write a fanfic and I am nothing if not a hyper-focuser… but ALSO I have ADHD. So, I am determined to write this sucker before my brain goes too far into “Squirrel!” territory and I lose steam 😂 Yes, yes it IS a weird combo. I am 100% aware.

For realsies? I’ve been choosing to play twst over coming onto tumblr to rp. Because of the event. I already have everything I need to earn the Grim card and I already got the other Grim card too… but guess what I realized? YOU NEED THE TUNA CANS TO UP BOTH OF THEIR SPELL LEVELS - EVEN AFTER THE EVENT. You can buy the striped Grim’s blue tuna cans for 1 pink tuna can in the shop. But basically, since you can only get the tuna cans during the event… that means you can ONLY LEVEL THEIR SPELLS DURING THE ANNIVERSARY EVENT(S). So you better believe I am farming those stupid tuna cans. I have already got to level 10 on labwear Grim’s first spell, and his second spell is level 9. As soon as I get that spell to level 10, I will start working on leveling up the other Grim’s spell levels. Both equally to 5 first then try to get them to 10, though I somehow doubt I’ll earn enough cans to level up all the way there. But whatever.

But… yeah. That’s why Che’nya and I have been missing.

Moral of the story:

Happy birthday Mom, migraines suck, @disgruntled-prince does not suck, and farm those stupid fucking tuna cans kids!

[your-local-grinning-cat]

((So Mod! Who is your favorite Greek God/Goddess~?))

AR: …please… please don’t do this to me it’s 3:24am I need to sleep. Che’nya. Che’nya save me I’m gonna be here all night I just hyperfixated for literally an hour providing links to books for @brokensenseofhumor when they in no way asked for that. Do something.

Che’nya: 0_0 *juggles* Like this???????????

AR: CHE’NYA PLEASE!!! I’M GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT HERMES AND AMAZING HE IS AND HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM AND HOW HE IS THE THE GOD THAT IS IN THE MOST GREEK MYTHS HE IS LITERALLY EVERYWHERE OMFG AND HE IS SO CLEVER AND SMART AND SASSY AND MISCHIEVOUS NO I DON’T HAVE A TYPE SHUT UP AND THAT WILL LEAD TO TALKING ABOUT DIONYSUS AND APOLLO BECAUSE I HEADCANON THEM AS THE THREE STOOGES AS DUMB AND DUMBER AND DUMBEST AND I LOVE THEM AND THEN ARTEMIS BECAUSE I CAN’T MENTION APOLLO WITHOUT HIS BADASS TWIN AND I FUCKING CAN’T FORGET HADES, ZEUS, AND POSEIDON AND YES IT’S ALL THREE OF THEM BECAUSE I HATE THAT PEOPLE CAN OVERLOOK HADES’S “RAPE OF PERSEPHONE” MYTH AND REWRITE IT AND BE FINE WITH HIM BUT NOT DO THE SAME AND SEE HOW COOL ZEUS AND POSEIDON ARE AND HESTIA BECAUSE WHAT THE FUCK WHY DO PEOPLE FORGET ABOUT HER SHE DESERVES ATTENTION TOO AND SPEAKING OF ATTENTION WHY DOES NOT ONE TALK ABOUT HOW APHRODITE LITERALLY HAS A SECONDARY FORM WITH A PENIS SHE IS NOT JUST ABOUT FEMALES LOVE IS LOVE GENDER IS A MANMADE CONSTRUCT APHRODITE IS LGBT+ AND TRANS POSITIVE AND HER HUSBAND HEPHESTUS CAN ABSOLUTELY BE DEPICTED WITH PROSTHETICS OR MOBILITY AIDS HOW FUCKING COOL IS THAT THAT HE CAN BE CONSIDERED THE GOD OF THAT KIND OF REPRESENTATION AND HERA IS SO DAMN MISUNDERSTOOD I WANT TO SCREAM AND SO IS DEMETER AND ARES TO BE HONEST LIKE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE AND THAT’S NOT EVEN touching THE MINOR GODS -

Che’nya: oh shIT - *quickly shatters a teapot over their head, knocking them out cold*

Che’nya: Heh… oh yeah… they’re tired. I shouldn’t have teased them. *looks up at you* Note to… everyone. AR hyperfocuses very easily and turns more… me when they get tired. Oopsie! My bad.

Funnily enough, it is now 3:42am, instead of 3:24am. I find that very pleasing. *looks down at AR* I don’t think they will though.

I think it’s time your local grinning cat and his human vacated the Wood… I don’t think AR can take any more of this *chuckles*

But maybe you got your answer somewhere in all that ramble? *shrugs before dragging off AR deeper into the darkness and disappearing*

[your-local-grinning-cat]

Che’nya I just found out I may or may not have BPD. Give me advice on what to do with this information

*Che’nya appears next to you and gives you a gentle hug, wrapping his tail around you as well; AR comes out of the Tulgey Woods and sits nexts to the two of you as well, offering their support and is willing to give you a hug if you’re wanting one from them too*

Che’nya: I know the ask was technically for me, but I just don’t feel comfortable answering such a heavy ask with my usual light-hearted Che’nya answers. Which means it’s really more AR’s place than mine. Hope you don’t mind - we both care about you too, so I think it works out. 💜

AR: I will give the usual disclaimer that I am not a therapist, though I’m sure you’re know that and did not come here for that. But I wanted to get that out of the way first so we can just move right along. I will also put the rest under the cut, as this isn’t the usual Cheshire Cat content. 😊

Okay, this is long because not only is mental illness a topic I care about lot about… I also genuinely care about you. You’re one of the people I talk to on here and so I consider you one of my friends. And when it comes to the things/people I care about… I tend to talk. Even more than usual. You have been warned.

Altair, I’ll be honest, BPD is hard - though I’m sure you’re the last person I need to tell that to. I don’t have it myself, but I’ve known people who have it and I know they struggle. So hearing that you have it, or even that you may have, which means you show enough characteristics of it that the diagnosis is on the table… my heart goes out to you. I may not have BPD, but I do know what it’s like to live with mental illnesses.

My advice… I suppose the best advice I can give is to try not to look at this as a bad thing but as a good one. I know that may seem really hard, but hear me out. Now that you’re aware of your BPD, you can hopefully get help for it, or more specialized treatment for it if you were already receiving help.

I know finally being put on the right meds for your needs after years of being misdiagnosed or getting the right therapist/psychiatrist that you just “click” with can work wonders.

Just recently one of my favorite comic artists, “Art by Moga” was finally diagnosed as bipolar after years of being misdiagnosed and going unmedicated. And it has, according to her, legitimately changed her life for the better.

And I know learning I had Dyscalculia on top of all my other problems really helped me figure out why the way I am about certain things and not feel so self conscious about my difficulties with numbers and math.

Those are obviously not BPD, but I’m hoping the stories may end up being the same for you - hopefully being diagnosed will be a stepping stone to you finally finding a better, happier way of living your life!

But I know either way it’s tough to deal with that kind of diagnosis, so I would say try to be around people you care about and that care about you. Be with your support system. Get all the love and care. You deserve it. Do the things that make you happy. Get some TLC. You fucking deserve it. I give you permission to treat yourself.

But above all else, remember that having borderline personality disorder does NOT mean you are broken or unlovable or anything else. I’m not going to say that cliché line of “you’re perfect just the way you are” because even I don’t believe that about myself. You asked for advice and I’m not going to give you advice I can’t follow on my own. I’m not that kind of hypocrite. I always think there’s room to grow and improve and change. No one is perfect. And thank fuck for that because otherwise people would point at them and tell us all to reach for them as the standard.

So you’re not perfect. Neither am I. And the you before finding out you have/may have BPD is the same as the you now…

You are still the person who would send Che’nya random rizz pickup lines that oftenalways ended in hilarious ways that you didn’t intend that made me, and I hope you, smile.

You are still the person who made that sick-ass Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Martian Mickey twst OC and shared it with me and you’re excitement was so fun and contagious.

You are the person who told me about your other twst OC, Pawn, and his sentient mandolin, Mandy, and didn’t even call me rude when I sent you a block text of questions about Pawn’s relationship with Rook.

You are still the person who Che’nya sang an entire fucking Melanie Martinez musical number to, simply because it was you and you’re fun to have fun with.

You are still one of the very few people that interacts with this blog regularly in private messages rather than strictly via asks or posts - because we talk ooc so often, which means you are not just friends with Che’nya, you’re friends with me, AR.

You are still you.

And you is the person I am friends with.

And I think you is pretty damn great.

Che’nya: I agree.

💜💜💜

Why hello there Che'nya since the year is coming to an end what were some of your favorite moments this year? :)

Apawlogies I saw this late! ⏰ 🔨 ⚙️🤪

One of my favorite moment from this year would have to be meeting AR and dragging them into Twisted Wonderland and into the Tulgey Wood!

AR: I first discovered Twisted Wonderland and Che’nya around September if I recall correctly and it was all downhill from there.
