bout to start worshipping the old gods and deliberately losing my mind

[grounded-from-homestuck]

if i could have any superpower, it would be to start and stop time. not for the sake of doing anything particularly heroic or evil.

just so i could take a step back from any given situation whenever i want.

no more overstimulation or wanting to leave and go somewhere quiet but not being able to. i could make the bad sounds stop, i could stop people from being able to reach me and make it all worse until i snap. i could function so much better if i could just take a break and calm down without ever suffering any negative consequences.

shame we live in an actual hellscape and i can’t even take a step away in real time without getting shit on by somebody :)

surprise starter for @greedbent because Baizhu saw my other muses bothering his "secret" crush and refused to be left out 😤

"I have a prediction. Would you like to hear it?" Changsheng's voice floated into the front room of the pharmacy from somewhere up in the rafters. She hadn't shown herself once since he'd begun work that morning; Baizhu had assumed she'd been with Qiqi or Gui.

"Well, don't leave me in suspense," the doctor replied airily. Faced with a break in patients for the afternoon, Baizhu had begun filling prescriptions. Even while conversing, practiced hands moved of their own accord: one adding leaves and petals from the trays of mint and qingxin beside him to a large medicinal cauldron, while the other worked the milky substance within beneath a starsilver pestle.

Naturally though, Changsheng did exactly that. He'd nearly forgotten she'd said anything by the time she divulged her 'prediction.' "Sssomething tellsss me that today isss about to get interesssting."

Baizhu hummed, attention fixed on his work. "Oh? What makes you say that?"

Her answering snicker came from directly above him. He paused as Changsheng dropped onto his shoulders so he wouldn't spill anything. "You'll sssee sssoon enough," was all she said as she adjusted her coils, and the doctor shook his head fondly. With her affinity for the vague and riddled, sometimes Baizhu wondered if his companion wasn't some long-lost adeptus in disguise.

Minutes passed with only the scrape of the pestle along the cauldron's base to fill the silence. Then footsteps sounded on the stairs leading up to the pharmacy—but there was something...unique about them. Not just a rhythmic tap-tap of shoes on pavement, but with an additional tone layered in unison. Metal on stone. Tap-tapclink.

That could only mean...

Ah. Well, in all fairness, Changsheng was rarely wrong about these things.

Baizhu didn't look up until the steps arrived in the entryway. To anyone else, the sight of a man clad in all black, gazing into their shop with such intent, sharp eyes may be cause for alarm. But Baizhu simply smiled, hands pausing to give his newfound visitor his undivided attention.

"Why, Kaz, what a pleasant surprise. How nice to see you." Likely not a sentiment heard often, but it was entirely sincere. He pointedly ignored Changsheng's muttered 'I told you' that tickled his ear. "Is there something I can do for you? Oh—unless you're here for your 'prescription'?"

The code word was second-nature despite there being no one else in the pharmacy to overhear. With a grin so pleasant adorning his features, the doctor certainly appeared to be speaking of a legitimately prescribed medication, rather than the special-ordered poison that currently sat fermenting on his kitchen counter. "It's nearly finished, but I'm afraid it needs another hour or so to infuse for maximum...potency." There was a dark edge to the chuckle that rolled in his chest. "We must be sure it's strong enough to take care of the problem, mustn't we?"

The rampant aphobia I have noticed in my irl university spaces is shocking for the small part of me that assumes peoples understand and overall incredibly depressing. I live in a conservative place for university which isn't ideal but overall it's ok! Most people don't blink an eye when I mention I'm queer in casual conversation...but. In general I'm mentioning aphobia for the whole aspec community ace and aro people here's my little rage post.

I AM NOT IN ANY WAY INTERESTED IN YOUR PARTNER STOP ASSUMING. I have recently learned that I have been perceived to be flirting, which can simply be untrue since I do not want a relationship nor am I attracted to anyone. I'm out and I talk about it a decent amount because it's starting to get into the 'dating for marriage' era of life which I will not be participating in. I am nice, I have a personality and play off of people very well, it's just how I am and in none of this am I showing romantic or sexual interest. I understand that perceptions from outside people will always be there but if you know how I identify and how I feel move along don't disrespect me and my sexuality by making assumptions that are fundamentally aphobic and then hating me for your perceptions in silence without speaking to me. If you partner showed interest in me because of a conversation I had with them that is not my problem I was speaking to them as I would anyone else, check your insecurities and biases at the door before you decide I'm scum of the earth.

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN EVERY PERCEIVED OPPOSITE GENDER PERSON I SPEAK TO. I used to hate hate hate this when I was in high school people would say things like 'oooo you like him' if we were friends and we got along. I wasn't out to as many people and that's a high school thing™ which isn't ideal but I was less secure than I am now. I do a lot better when people make these comments but it still makes me overall uncomfortable and I thought we all grew out of that. However some people *cough* aphobes *cough* find it rational or funny to mention that I am interested or flirting with someone. DONT DO THAT. It makes a fun conversation awkward and me feel like you are ignorant of my sexuality and feelings. Ok you think I'm flirting with someone I know and am speaking to? Awesome keep it to yourself if it doesn't affect you. Just because I am speaking to someone and engaging with them does not mean I am interested please for the love of god don't make those jokes or passive comments that's on top 5 microaggressions towards ace and aro people I swear to god.

PEOPLE IN QSA PLEASE PLEASE INCLUDE ACE/ARO PEOPLE IN YOUR AWARENESS!! I have a lot a lot of beef with the one on my campus and feel that it is run incredibly poorly. What devastates me is it's an incredibly sexual place which makes it very difficult to attend events and find people you feel comfortable with in spaces where you are new or questioning. I have only been a few times and the people I met there were awful as well as the general experience. There were no ace, aro, or agender pride pins, no flags up to indicate I was welcome at all. At no point did I feel that I could be there as a part of their community as they made it incredibly alienating to feel the way I do. That isn't to say all queer spaces are like this but I think for many of them there is a lot of work to be done for them to be places where -everyone- can feel comfortable there. Make sure you aren't isolating others and making them feel as though they don't belong, welcome them try to understand them it's the bare minimum.

Anyway I just thought I'd make a little rant/awareness post because I feel like a lot of these things aren't talked about on a large scale! Y'all are valid and lovely and should be able to exist in the world just as you are I will physically fight anyone who says other wise.
