With the way things have just progressed, at this point this is an 18+ blog; preferably 20+ but the point is, minors are not welcome here

i had a thought of "do people not know what AUs are anymore?" and then i remembered nobody explains fandom stuff to new people anymore so it is entirely plausible people genuinely don't know what AUs are and nobody has explained it to them, so for today's lucky 10,000:

"AU" stands for "Alternate Universe" or "Alternative Universe" (same difference) and is basically any thought scenario for a fandom that isn't canon and can't fit within the canon universe. If it takes place in the canon universe but something is notably different, that is typically what's known as a "Canon divergent AU," because it diverges from canon.

an AU can be absolutely anything. There's a couple of widespread pan-fandom au scenarios that often get thrown around, like coffee shop aus, genderbend aus, hanahaki aus (hanahaki is a whole thing in itself i'd recommend researching on your own), etc. One you might hear sometimes is "crossover AU" which is when you have characters from one fandom interacting with characters from another.

You can have as many aus as you want. They can be whatever you want and you can do whatever you want in them. It's a sandbox for you to play around in and explore how things would be different or how the characters would act in those circumstances or environments. Maybe they have different relationships with each other. Maybe they behave slightly differently. Or you can just say "Okay, [x] is true. How did they get here? How would things have to be different for this to occur?" which can also be fun.

If you are ever confused about why people ship something that seems completely out of the blue or doesn't make sense to you in the canon setting, there's a good chance they like it in an AU setting! Not everything everybody is interacting with is necessarily the canon! Not everybody wants things to exist in canon and just want to explore playing dolls in a different sandbox and that's okay. And their sandbox might look a lot different than yours, and that's also okay. You have the freedom to make your sandbox whatever you please. Do whatever you want forever. Get funky with it. AUs are fun.

Okay that's my schpeal. everybody go have fun and play nice now.

every time i see what the Duolingo owl is up to or whatever Arby's latest crazy crossover is i get war flashbacks to the Denny's tumblr circa 2012ish. we could have stopped this. we saw a fish evolving legs and kept shoving it back into the water and it kept coming back and now we're drowning in legged fish. we should have stomped it into paste.

I think we all need a reminder that the word “theyfab” was originally created to hurt nonbinary people, specifically nonbinary people who use they/them and were (assumed to be) AFAB.

The word “theyfab” is exorsexist, first and foremost. It can also be transandrophobic, because some nonbinary people are transmasculine and it does occasionally get used against trans men. However, if you claim theyfab was invented as a slur for trans men first and foremost, you are erasing the experiences of another invisible community.

Trans men are treated terribly on here. But please don't contribute to the erasure of nonbinary people when you're fighting against transandrophobia. We’re in this together, and we need to have each other's backs.

How to actually manifest once and for all

Instead of this -

I can't do this.

It's not working.

I should affirm more.

Am I doing it right?

I didn't affirm enough today.

I didn't try this technique yet.

It just doesn't work for me.

My circumstances are "different" (This one is the WORSTTTTTT).

Why doesn't it work for me???? (Whining incoming).

I can manifest this but not that.

It's hard for me.

Why am I THE EXCEPTION??????

Can I MANIFEST this??

How can I MANIFEST this?

Do this -

It's already done.

But - IT'S ALREADY DONE.

No, it's already done.

Yes, it's already done.

Still, it's already done.

Nope, it's already done.

For god's sake it's already done.

Oh lord, it's already done.

Yep, it's already done.

It's already done.

Regressor who's primarily low energy but still wants someone to look after them but the regressor x caregiver dynamics they see is always so... full of energy. Like they're always doing something together, and they fear they might be too boring for someone to want to look after them

They take a lot of naps, they like to snuggle up in bed, maybe put a show on, if its a really good day they'll do quiet activities like puzzles or coloring

Now meet caregiver who would love to watch over someone but doesn't feel they have the energy for it, like they can't keep up with a regressor who would want to go out always, want to do fun activities 24/7, they don't have that energy

But they have a lot of soft, gentle love in their heart, they know they could nurture someone, they would love to watch over someone and make the occasional sweet comment, or make them their favorite little snacks, or hold them oh so close so the both of them can truly rest

Some peaceful, quiet time for them both with at most a bit of background noise, nothing too big, nothing too loud
