Imagine
After hundreds of years, since you've died, Zhongli's wedding ring breaks.
He has taken great care of it, but time thinned it out, for he has worn it every day since you two have pledged yourself to each other. He's heartbroken, his voice wavering, every time he looks at the imprint it left on his ring finger. The band was well worn, worn with pride and solemn, but now nothing more than a mark and reminder of your wedding.
And once again, he's lost a small bit of you, that he misses so dearly.

There’s a lot of gatekeeping and weirdly defined rules in the occult and spiritual spaces. I’m just gonna go ahead and say something that might ruffle some feathers, but hopefully it helps some confused or anxious folks out.
I see a lot of posts online and get a lot of questions about entities. Mainly “is it okay for me to work with this entity?” because of xyz reasons.
Firstly, let’s make something very clear. Cultural appropriation has a very specific definition. Cultural appropriation takes place when members of a majority group adopt cultural elements of a minority group in an exploitative, disrespectful, or stereotypical way.
I say this as a person of color that understands the negative impacts of cultural appropriation and racism. This may not be the popular opinion, but I don’t think that honouring or worshipping a God privately and quietly qualifies as this. There’s a big difference between appropriating a culture and their customs and worshipping a God you feel connected to.
So having said this, if you feel like a God, angel, daemon, or entity is reaching out to you… seriously dude just go with it. We can’t control which things pull us and which entities interact with us. To many of them, we’re all just humans. Our ideas of race and ethnicity are extremely wishy washy, especially on a universal scale. If you feel deeply connected to a deity or concept, let yourself fall into them. Seriously, genuinely. Learn as much about the as you can, do your research, and go with it.
If you’re ever anxious about revealing that entity to others because of fear of judgement or criticism, give them a personal name.
I can’t say this loud enough,
GIVE THEM A PERSONAL NAME!!
Within religion, spirituality, and the occult, we use archetypes all the time. Cultures constantly share archetypes and give them personal names in their languages. The God that you’re thinking about was likely syncretized at one point too.
If you want to work with Aphrodite but don’t feel comfortable calling her Aphrodite, call her something that feels right to you. If you feel extremely connected to Isis but you don’t feel comfortable using an Egyptian name, then give her a personal name! Your connection with that God will be all the more personal.
The Gods like, and sometimes demand worship. Their phonetic names are not the totality of their being. Chances are most of us aren’t even pronouncing them correctly anyways. If you think about Inanna when you say that name, then you’re praying to Inanna. If you want to call her something else, that’s okay.
“What about closed religions?!”
It is nearly impossible to self initiate oneself into a closed religion because their customs are kept niche to their group. Without guidance you wouldn’t know how to do these things properly. If you feel a pull towards an entity from another culture, again, do your damn homework, don’t just rush into it. Be considerate and respectful of their origins. I’m not saying that their cultural origin is unimportant, because it definitely is and your understanding and acknowledgment of that is crucial, but that does not necessarily mean that you have to be Canaanite or Phoenician to worship or work with Astarte. Understand how they were worshipped back then, and how they wish to be honoured now.
Please understand that having a relationship with a God is not the same thing as converting into a religion or appropriating traditional customs. Not all religion is organized. I worship Aphrodite in a very non traditional way according to the Greeks. That’s okay.
And likewise, a lot of deeply closed entities with specific cultural ties simply don’t reach out to people outside of their niche. They have their chosen people and stay within their realm of influence. It’s extremely rare for the Loa to connect with non voodoo practitioners, and Voodoo is a very complex practice that requires specific sacrifices and rituals. It is ill advised to make offerings to vodous without divination and instruction. It’d be very unobtainable for most people. I say this as someone with a practicing Voodoo/Obeah bloodline, even I don’t feel secure enough to delve into that kind of magick by myself.
There’s a lot of high tensions on the internet when it comes to these things. I’ve seen posts (mostly on Reddit) of practitioners heartbroken that they have to break up with Lilith, their angels, their infernals, or some other deity because they got chastised for it online.
I think the immortality of our Gods is beautiful. While many of their original chosen people are long gone, they still live on and find ways to connect with humanity today. That is a very good thing.
So guys, honestly, unless you’re excited to share your path with others and ready to receive criticism, keep your Gods to yourself. Enjoy and worship them on your own, and if you feel compelled to discuss them just give them a personal name. If your God is Hekate and you feel compelled to give her a personal name, just say that your deity is similar to Hekate whenever you discuss them. It’s that easy. There are already a thousand different Hekates that people associate with. There’s no reason why you can’t create one more.
Please enjoy your practice and your faith. Don’t worry so much about everyone else. The Gods know who you are, and they want to connect with you because they really like who you are. That’s a very very good thing.

About
Hello! This is a new blog. I’m still figuring out the details.
I’ve been a star trek fan my whole life - it started with getting in trouble in kindergarten for staying up to watch late night tos reruns, and I watched all of tos, ds9, and voy as they aired. I tried ent when it first aired and didn’t care for it. Later as part of a project to watch all episodes in in-world chronology, I did watch all of ent. Still didn’t care for it. But it is trek. I watch all new trek, and for the most part I love it (pauses to side-eye Picard season three), but don’t have the same knowledge base with it because I haven’t rewatched it as many times. I’ve seen all of the movies but I honestly just tend to forget them when I’m thinking about what’s happened in cannon. I think they live in a separate part of my brain? I haven’t read the books or comics yet but I do spend a lot of time on Memory Beta.
Right now I’m rewatching lower decks & tos and that’s what I have on my mind.
Anyway, this is all to say that I plan to be inclusive with all star trek media on this blog, but not everything will get equal attention. There are just some things I know more about or am more interested in.
In particular, there are a limited number of options in tumblr polls, and there is a lot of star trek media out there. I make sure to put “other in tags”, or combine titles in a choice, in cases where every item can’t have its own little box. Yes sometimes my personal opinions influence how I break that up, and that’s ok, because this is something I do in my free time for fun.
You are very welcome to submit polls & posts. If you do, and I repost them, I’ll credit you unless you prefer to stay anonymous. Btw - this is how you can get more content around your favorite series if you’re not seeing as much as you’d like.
Right now I don’t have any rules about submissions. It’s possible I won’t post something that’s clearly prejudiced, malicious etc… but I haven’t figured out exactly where I draw that line yet. I don’t plan to gatekeep what is and isn’t trek. I have personal opinions about what I enjoy and what I don’t enjoy, but star trek belongs to everyone and it’s illogical to try to draw lines around what is “legitimate” trek for everyone.
I haven’t really figured out what to say about trigger warnings, spoilers, and nsfw. I don’t plan for this to be especially nsfw, but I do plan to cuss and touch on adult concepts sometimes (I mean how can we not talk about the many forehead vaginas). I also plan to add content/ trigger warnings that are obvious to me but I’m far from an expert about what the most important ones to include are. And finally spoilers are hard because most star trek media has been around forever and the fandom is here to talk about what happened in it, but some is brand new and it can be hard to stay completely caught up, and even the oldest series are new to someone. So I’m making an effort to consider triggering content, spoilers, and nsfw but can’t responsibly make promises on any of them.
And last but not least, I’m happy to block people who call me names. I’m here on my free time for fun.
Tldr:
This blog will be a mixture of:
Polls I make
Other star trek posts I find interesting
Polls & posts you submit
If I see a star trek poll I find interesting I may write the author and ask for permission to reblog here
This blog will not:
Gatekeep what is & isn’t star trek
Be completely impartial to my interest
Be completely sfw or spoiler free, or include all important trigger & content warnings
P.S. I’m in this for the tags. I absolutely love reading through everyone’s theories, favorites, stories, etc…. So if you want to tip this blog please do it by adding your star trek thoughts :)

Chapters 191-194: Sakurajima Colony: Buck-buck! Some arcs are really just not that eggciting and that’s ok
Sort of happy JJK-Sunday? 
I must admit that while I loved Kin-chan vs. Kashi-chan because their dynamic was just absolutely fantastic, this little Naoya the Cursed Yarn Ball vs. Girl Boss Maki why is she wearing a little cape tho?! mini-arc has felt like a total drag.
I so have not been eggcited about this mini-arc one bit.
Tumblr media
Pu-kyu, my new assistant, agrees 300%. 
But there’s a few things that have been on my mind that I wanted to write down because, let’s face it, I love to word vomit about irrelevant plot tangents.
Without further ado, here are 10 observations I’ve made over the last few chapters! There's absolutely no sign of intelligence beneath the cut...
1. FFS, why is Maki wearing a little cape?
I hate Maki’s little cape there I said it on main. It makes the Fashion Diva in me want to style her or something like that.
Gege, please. Can we please get rid of the little cape? Cardcaptor Sakura’s Tomoyo or Tokyo Babylon’s Hokuto need to make a cameo and style her up.
Tumblr media
Hokuto would gladly put Maki into some Dolce since JJK has that collab with Dolce & Gabbana and all.
Tumblr media
This Girl Boss androgynous look is hot and I love Maki playing into it. Even if it’s just a facade for a girl who had to act confident to thrive in a man’s world.
The little cape? NOT HOT.
Not me gatekeeping Maki bahaha
2. “Even cursed spirits feel pain”
In all seriousness tho. This has probably been the one thing that has really got my interest. I’ve already written about how I became a Cursed Spirit apologist thanks to the cockroach that Gege graced us with.
But I have to say that I’ve loved how Gege brought back the idea of a Cursed Spirits’ consciousness in these last few chapters.
I immediately noticed and loved that the Yarn Ball was totally Naoya-like in its interactions and speech.
Tumblr media
Which I thought it was fascinating because if the body = the soul = the mind (ego personality)... then, not only is his form very fitting (a worm and... a Yarn Ball?), but there’s something about how a vessel (the body) can change to better reflect the mind/soul--Mahito’s specialty. 
I don’t know how to explain better just yet. I just love that an ego personality can have a different vessel and have continuity of existence even when the vessel looks different or the original vessel “died”.
It tells me a will (ego/mind/personality) has to be really, really strong to create a new vessel for itself in order to carry out its desires. In Naoya’s case, his will created a new vessel for the sake of avenging his pride after he was defeated by Maki the first time.
This all feels very Soul Eater in a sense...
Tumblr media
But it’s not just this idea of a will creating a new vessel for itself, it’s the idea of a Cursed Spirit having a consciousness of it being alive to begin with.
Once you start messing with the idea of sentience, you are on another level.
Tumblr media
Again, I brain rotted about this idea in the liveblog for chapter 175.
I just love this theme and idea because it set the stage for a rebellion against humans, the very creators and source of energy for Cursed Spirits.
In showing that even a Cursed Spirit feels pain, I also get this feeling that Gege is inviting his audience to sympathize with Cursed Spirits.
I also loved that around the time this particular chapter came out, Chainsaw Man 2 dropped its first chapter featuring a very similar motif.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can’t quite put my finger on it just yet but I love that Fujimoto is playing with the same concept that Gege has introduced into JJK--as a living being with a consciousness of its own (created by collective human thought no less), a Cursed Spirit or Devil has every right to exist and thrive.
It’s a hell of a morally gray dilemma because Cursed Spirits and Devils alike cause havoc for humanity. But in the end, at least in JJK, the problem comes back to the fact that we created them through our own unconsciousness.
Unless you are a Jujutsu Sorcerer, then you channel your cursed energy into a Cursed Technique instead of unconsciously creating curses.
Which kind of reminded me that the crazy master plan in this whole thing is to bring back the Golden Age of Cursed Techniques...
3. Heian, the Golden Age of Cursed Techniques
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, let’s remember that the Culling Game is one massive shit show to bring about the evolution of human kind honestly I don't even know at this point, I thought it was more about Hakari’s abs at one point.
Tumblr media
I’m stumped because as bored as I am with this battle, I feel like Gege is still dropping important details.
Cursed Spirits are basically a non-factor in a world where humans gain a deeper understanding of their Cursed Energy and use it more productively.
Tumblr media
After all, the whole purpose of these concurrent battles taking place is to help sorcerers and non-sorcerers deepen their understanding of cursed energy.
We already suspect that Kenny is going to do something about the colonies that have reached a point where only the strongest sorcerers remain. The question is what?
This is an interesting can of worms because Cursed Technique seems to be intimately tied to the user’s personality (mind) in a symbolic or literal way.
Also, let’s not forget everybody’s favorite Daddy Sukuna, chaos himself, is a prodigy when it comes to Cursed Energy manipulation through Cursed Technique. 
Tumblr media
So what is going to happen?!
Idk I’m rambling at this point.
Honestly, this is why this mini-arc is driving me nuts’o. 
There’s so many amazing, unanswered questions about the plot and instead we get a Maki vs. Naoya the Yarn Ball battle do over.
Tumblr media
A cat vs. Naoya the Yarn Ball would have been far more entertaining.
4. Not all arcs are created equal
Bahaha, I feel really bitchy saying that and yet I want to honor how I feel about JJK right now. 
Right now, as much as I love JJK, this particular mini-arc/battle is not easy to get through.
But I’ve been watching anime for a very loooooong time and I’ve been reading a lot of manga recently and something has become very clear to me because of it...
Yeah this mini-arc isn’t my favorite in JJK but it’s just an arc. Every manga I have read lately has arcs that are a drag to get through. It’s just how it is.
Some arcs are eggciting af, others aren’t.
No manga is perfect.
5. Mangaka and the pressure to create in order to feed a capitalist system
Manga is truly a treasure to mankind--they are beautifully told stories about the reality of being human.
Mangaka take on that privilege of sharing those stories with an audience. 
Telling these stories requires courage. In telling these stories, mangaka are putting themselves out there, they are baring the inner-universe within their heart and soul for all to see.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The characters they create are reflections of inner-selves exploring the world of their imagination.
I am a huge believer in having a consistent habit of creation. If you are a writer, you write; if you are a painter, you paint.
But sometimes, creativity doesn’t quite work like that. Sometimes creativity needs to marinate an idea to bring it to fruition. After all, despite capitalism’s focus on hustle culture, creativity is not linear. 
All that to say that I have all the more respect for mangaka because they work under strict and constricting schedules that are not necessarily conducive to shipping the best creative work.
I’ve read many a manga that probably could have used more time to develop and expand on its themes. Shingeki no Kiojin is the latest example as I did not like the ending very much and felt like Isayama could have done a much better job given how much of a detailed writer he proved to be.
But that’s just my personal opinion and I know it is not shared by everyone.
In other words... 
I am looking forward to JJK getting exciting again and hope that Gege is able to ship his best creative work despite his schedule.
Beware of Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), x/1999, Akatsuki no Yona and Tokyo Babylon panel spoilers below.
6. Recycling panels or panel parallels?
One of my favorite things in the world is catching panel parallels in manga by different authors... like Shingeki no Kyojin and x/1999 below:
Tumblr media
Akatsuki no Yona and Tokyo Babylon:
Tumblr media
Sometimes there are manga parallels used by the same authors but in different manga titles of theirs like in CLAMP’s xxxHolic and Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle.
Tumblr media
Or, in this case, even within a single manga by a single author:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These 2 panels of Megumi and Maki aren’t exactly the same, but I couldn’t help but notice them and I wondered whether Gege was just recycling panels or whether he is making a bigger statement paralleling Megumi and Maki’s growth as they learn to value themselves.
In particular Megumi learned there was a vast difference between risking his life to win and throwing away his life to win.
For Maki, I love that she’s so certain that in the next five minutes she will be as good as new. That’s the nature of her newfound powers. 
But above all, I found it interesting that Kamo tells Maki they “can’t afford to lose her at this stage”.
Tumblr media
Right now Kamo has a majorly huge death flag.
7. When Gege makes you care about characters you didn’t know you cared about, does that mean he’s about to kill them? 
I swear JJK characters have super heroic deaths and that’s why they hurt like hell.
Tumblr media
The whole sequence with Maki and Kamo actually reminds me of Nanami’s death because of the setup leading to it and the Megumi/Maki panel parallels I shared above. In other words, Nanami realized how valuable Megumi was to the battle and stepped in to protect him the way Kamo is doing the same.
Perhaps that’s what the panel parallels are trying to say here.
Another heroic death example I cannot not mention is...
Tumblr media
Kokichi ;-; ...
Gege is so good at creating this feeling of--”man this character is so cool and I admire their mindset and can relate to them on an emotional level and I love that aaaaaaaand... now they’re dead.” 
Gege is just not afraid to kill or hide any of his characters.
And now... we have Kamo trying to get self-sacrificial and heroic. 
It’s sad to me that he spent so much time and effort in being the perfect heir and doing things as the perfect heir should do them so that he could live up to the title and make a place for his mother in the clan.
But now his mother has moved on with her life (as is implied in the latest chapter) and he’s no longer the head of the clan.
Tumblr media
The things he had identified his sense of self with have vanished.
And so now, he sees no value in himself other than in sacrificing himself for his comrades.
Tumblr media
But... I have to be honest that Kamo’s line regarding his decision to sacrifice himself felt predictable to me.
Tumblr media
So perhaps this could be a red herring? We did get two new players thrown into the mix who are going to complicate things further.
Whatever the case, Gege has made me care about Kamo because he’s made him incredibly relatable in a couple of pages max.
Gege truly does have a talent for characterization.
8. Chapters 135 and 136
Um, hello? I need a re-read of the last few chapters of the Shibuya Incident. So much is paying off in the current arc but in a way that feels like Gege has been world-building. 
In particular, chapter 64 marked the end of Gege world-building the first stage of JJK. He then proceeded to undo everything he had done by tearing it down throughout the Shibuya Incident.
He then gave us a ton of exposition during the last chapters in the Shibuya Incident, and it feels to me like he’s using the Culling Game to show and expand upon some of the plot points that he introduced during those chapters.
9. Incest in JJK
Did Gege just imply that Mai and Naoya...???
Right, so we start the chapter with a nice little philosophical spill by the Yarn Ball.
Tumblr media
Something about learning an ability and it becoming second nature. Yadda-yadda-yadda.
But then...
Tumblr media
To which Naoya responds...
Tumblr media
Uh.
...
Ways to interpret this interaction:
Naoya just wants to say something hurtful to Maki (this was my initial interpretation)
Naoya just wants to say something really REALLY hurtful to Maki and so he chose to reveal the thing that would hurt the most--Naoya did “adult things” with Mai (this was my interpretation after wondering what being an adult had to do with Mai... and then it hit me lol)
Is this innuendo surprising considering Megumi was Mai’s first crush?
Not to mention everybody’s favorite JJK siblings with questionable morals, Mei Mei and Ui Ui.
Anyways. Not sure whether Gege meant to use innuendo in that interaction, but he sure loves his incest trope lol.
10. BONUS
Ok there really is no #10. I just wanted to end on an even number.
Again, if you’ve made it this far in this ramble, thank you. I always notice the same people liking what I write and I am very grateful that you read my rambles.
Please do stop and say hi if you are up for it. I love talking to others in fandom!
Until next time!
Happy JJK-Sunday!

TW this post will talk about fakeclaiming within DID - especially TikTok. There is a sui mention as well as talk about traumas systems may go through and just a whole heap of TikTok/Did faking drama, as well as ableism. This is an angry and loud post. It is a vent. It is very sarcastic and snarky. If I missed anything lmk. Proceed with caution.
I already made a post rambling about something’s that irritate or upset me (this account is a vent blog, so I mean it makes sense) but I now want to just. Get some shit out there talking about how much fakeclaiming shit systems go through.
I am not a discourse account, also. I may talk about some conversional issues on this post, but do not mark me or this post as discourse or drama. My account is barely even intended to be shouted out to every corner, it’s a vent blog. Anyways-
Since no one else has said it so boldly (that I’ve seen), here we go
Systems. People with DID. Specifically traumagenic. People who have introjects?? Are now suddenly called fakers? There’s a whole stereotype about that now? I cannot tell you how much it boils my blood to hear this.
Hey, do you remember when over five years ago most people just knew DID from the movie split? Or they just straight up thought you were schizophrenic? Or someone dangerous? Hey, do you remember that? When most people with DID were forced to be really silent about it because of that concept? Of course you don’t! Cus all you know about DID was after that when there was a trend on TikTok about it, and now everyone who claims to have DID is faking now, right?? Now you have to prove your medical diagnosis to avoid being harassed? Now if you have any sort of introject you’re fake! Now you’re just like all those little tiktokers that blew in what, 2020? Hey, you know, there’s a reason systems were silent for so long. Now you’re targeting minors, systems with large numbers, systems with smaller numbers, systems who are adults, systems who are on almost any platform, systems who dress alternative, systems who “don’t look like they have DID”—please get a grip. Please.
You know something?? I remember when years ago if I said I had DID, people’s first question was “oh like split?” or they literally were afraid of me because the only thing people knew about DID was from split, or it was thought you had psychosis or a mood disorder. Otherwise no one had a clue what you were talking about and just thought you were fucking insane. Most people did. I remember when DID started being well known, and TikTok was the platform for it. I was so excited and hopeful for my future, maybe I could begin to have more support and understanding around me. But slowly, and surely, it came tumbling down. I had fictives then. I still do. I have introjects.
I had introjects way back when people just thought I was crazy and had no idea what the word “dissociate” meant! But of courrrsee, the fakers! Of course, because of some stupid internet trend and a bunch of people gatekeeping and assuming at such a high rate, I’m clearly some attention seeker who just wants to have a severe disorder.
Do you know how many times I’ve been called cringe?
How many times I’ve been told I’m faking before I could even say more than “I have DID”? Or, my favorite, “to stop appropriating a real disorder that people actually suffer with?”
Helloooo! I do suffer with it! But you don’t wanna know how many times I’ve tried to kill myself because of how terrified I feel in my life or how many times I’ve been discriminated against and abused for having this disorder because I have a fucking Junko Enoshima introject, do you?? You don’t want know how many opportunities I’ve lost in my life both big and small since I was a child because I “look like a tiktoker”, do you? You don’t wanna know my childhood history that SYSTEMS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO GIVE YOU because then” I’m making up a sob story to sound convincing”, do you??
There’s a reason traumatized people are angry. There’s a reason why people lock themselves away, are cold, and snappy, and don’t like people.
I have never enjoyed the mainstream. I do not mean that as like an edgelord, I mean I never have. Because time and time again, they have failed me with the very information I have held close and dear to my life, and claim they know more than me.
Systems are SCARED for their safety online. I’m not a part of the system community, but I have seen it. Every person who has DID, is likely afraid in one way or another is being perceived as fakers because of this constant battle between mainstream media who doesn’t give a shit and doesn’t know enough, and people who are going through the struggle.
Having a DSMP introject DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Being any sort of minority as a system DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Dressing alternative or having dyed hair as a system DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Being a minor and a system DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Having MHA introjects DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Having a small or high alter count DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Seeming happy as a system DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Seeming sad as a system DOES NOT EQUAL FAKING.
Systems can choose whatever they want to do with their experiences. If they wanna draw art about themselves, it doesn’t mean they’re faking. If systems wanna use neo or noun pronouns to describe themselves or if some of their parts want to, it doesn’t mean they’re faking. If they want to make little proxy’s of their alters and use character creator apps to express themselves, it does not mean they’re faking.
Everyone who has got on the hype train of “system fakers” “system cringe” since TikTok, I do not care if you’ve known someone with DID who faked it. I do not care if you’ve been in treatment and met “real people with DID”. I do not care if you are studying to become a therapist. I do not care if you know a lot about psychology. I do not care if you’re a smart person. I do not care if you’re only experience of DID is from split. I do not care if your only experience of DID is from TikTok. I do not care if you see any pattern or “suspicious” behavior within a group of people with DID. I do not care if you have met five fakers or seventy. I do not care if you have read weeks worth of books on DID and spent extensive amounts of time and effort trying to understand this disorder. I do not care if you just feel like someone is faking. I do not care if you do not understand someone else’s experience. I do not care if you know statistically someone with [x] trait with DID is unlikely.
I do not care if you didn’t first learn from TikTok. I do not care if you’ve been in the community yourself. I do not care if you are a doctor or a husband or a child or another abuse survivor or anything. I do not care if you have supported our community once. I do not care if you genuinely had interest and knowledge about DID years before hand. I do not care if you have been in treatment or in mental health facilities or have some sort of all knowing confirmation in your mind. I do not care if you are skeptical. I do not care if you support but don’t care or understand.
I do not care where you came from, what you carry, or what your beliefs are about the situation.
You do not get to police if someone is faking their disorder or not. You do not get to decide what someone can or cannot do with their time as a system. You do not get to psychoanalyze the validity of someone’s experience. You do not get to ask for someone’s medical records and proof of diagnoses. You do not get to harass and bully and stereotype a group of people based on your confirmation biases.
I do not give a fuck what you think.
You do not get to police around and suppress an already vulnerable group of people.
You do not get to decide what is going on or not going on in someone else’s head, and make noise about it that puts those people in danger.
People with DID have every right to be angry. People with DID have every right to upset. You just took a very serious condition these people have and already have enough issues with, ripped it out from the ground by the root, and hyper analyzed and humiliated every fucking part of it, from little proxies to why they may cosplay themselves to the extent of traumas they dealt with. You spit on and tear apart every aspect of the unique system experience that was once a tight knit and loving community of people and demand these people sit down and deal with it. You force them into little boxes like a science experiment and put blocks in their way that make everything they say and do a sign of faking.
You guys are rancid.
Do not use my post for discourse.

Hi, you're actively being transmisogynistic by accusing me of being some exclusionary gatekeeping asshole, like I have some double meaning to trying to keep queer spaces safe from cishets. It's incredibly disingenuous and you should reflect on your impulse to immediately jump down a trans woman's throat when all she's asking for is respect and safety from the people that have the power and privilege to ruin her life if they don't like how she's acting. You should be ashamed of yourself.
There's no code, no double meaning to what I'm saying. I'm not policing anyone, nor do I have the power to enforce any of this, because, as you might have noticed, I'm a trans woman. Please learn some basic manners and reading comprehension, or learn to keep your mouth shut.
I’m sorry I got heated. I understand I was being harsh. I didn’t want to accuse you, specifically, of being some kind of exclusionary gatekeeping asshole, nor do I think you specifically have the ability to enforce these kinds of rules. I don’t think that you’re a bad person for this opinion because I understand where it’s coming from. I meant more that, as a group, if everybody made sure to exclude cishet people from queer spaces it could easily have a negative effect on closeted people who need those spaces too. I know I took that concept kind of to the extreme and that that paints you unfairly and I’m sorry about that.
Obviously I don’t think there’s any double meaning to your words or you have some secret malice towards closeted people. I was talking specifically about the mentality, I wasn’t talking about you at all. I know I at one point said “it’s you” and I’m genuinely sorry about that, I mean “people who think like this” but it definitely sounds like an attack on you and I didn’t handle that correctly.
I do think it’s also disingenuous of you to immediately accuse me of being transmisogynist just because you’re a trans woman as this clearly had nothing to do with that.
I am also trans, as well as very visibly AFAB, and I experience misogyny and well as transphobia so I understand wanting a break from that.
I still disagree however, that something like a girl bringing her straight boyfriend is a problem if he is not being an ass.
I feel like there’s a bad philosophy underpinning that, and it’s not that I think that you hold that philosophy— I’m sure it makes you uncomfortable because of past experiences, and that’s fine— but I still wanted to address it.
I should have been more respectful about it though, and for that I am sorry.

quick little rant?? Vent?? I guess?? About destiny
I see so many dudebros and shit whining about destiny being a bad game and complaining about every single tiny little thing like it’s the end of the world. and it’s really starting to drag me down and starting to make me feel bad for daring to enjoy the game.
And also like. I wish I was as good as everyone else at the game. I wish I understood raids, I wish I understood builds and stats and all the complex little things that make the game work and would make everything so much easier for me. I have slow ass reflexes and am horrible at parkour and someone accused me of trolling one time because I was repeatedly falling and begging them to be patient with me. When I left to spawn in on someone else in the raid to skip the parkour I debated on not coming back. The one person I played with before (who also was bothered by my attempts at small talk to fill the silence) I haven’t played with for the last two days since and have been ghosting them because I am so consumed with guilt and shame and I was begging and apologizing over something as silly as a game.
They explained how the gatekeeper in Throne of Glass worked. I can tell you how to do it step by step and I understand it as a concept. But actually doing it? I had people passively aggressively whining that I can’t listen or making backhanded comments about new players. And mocking my name and my character (Nebby10 after my oc) When I had been playing since late-2022 (still new but not mint in box new) because of my best friend and I needed something to play.
It honestly took me back to how I was talked to growing up. I have a learning disability so I struggle hard in math, I can explain complex theories and understand them but when it comes to doing them and applying them something in my brain so frustratingly stops me. I get it but I don’t get it, I get it but I can’t do it. And I was berated in an eerily similar way for it growing up.
And it feels like so much to process when people pour it on me and pressure me and expect me to get it. These are adults and some of them even had children. I am only 18, severely depressed, and slow.
You can explain it to me a thousand times but it just won’t click. We joke about me being bad at the game or the whole crayon eater thing but it gotten to the point where it’s genuinely starting to hurt and jab deep into my insecurities.
I don’t want to be some gamer dudebro ultra megasweat but I want to be at least somewhat competent. I don’t want to sit here envying people who are so good at the game that it’s like second nature while I barely understand even the most basic of builds. I’m here for the lore and the worldbuilding and the OCs that I can make (that frankly only one person cares I think) but I feel lkke everything else gets in the way. The shame and all that. The embarrassment.
Destiny is my first FPS game of this type where it isn’t so cut and dry. “Then don’t play the game if it makes you feel like you’re stuck in this sinking pit of shame and dread,” but I enjoy the game. I want to get good at it. I just need patience and time and I’m tired of begging and screaming for it just to be dismissed as an idiot.
Please just be nice to me. please.

Idk maybe it’s just me but
When I hear the gatekeeping of womanhood by TERFS/FARTS I am consistently reminded of the gatekeeping of nerd culture by incel boys.
Like we get that you have been mistreated in the past, and some of that was due to this one thing you identify with, but that doesn’t mean people are wearing your identity like a costume and it doesn’t mean they are faking it.
Being a woman has good parts and bad parts. Being a nerd used to be the same, yet despite a lot of changes they still try to gatekeeping others, especially women, from identifying with being a nerd. They say if you haven’t suffered the bullying and being treated like an outcast that you haven’t ‘earned’ being a nerd. Makes me realise that some people will always keep gatekeeping being a woman, especially if they don’t have to ‘suffer in the same way’ as cis women do.
I’m not a trans woman, I’m an AFAB non-binary person. I don’t feel I can speak for trans women. I do however, believe they belong in women’s spaces. Regardless of the fact they won’t suffer through PCOS, miscarriage, abortion, the other downsides of pregnancy, periods, menstrual cramps or any other afab issue. Regardless of the fact they may or may not have experienced growing up as a girl, being sexualised by men especially at young ages, being treated as lesser for their gender, being ignored by doctors as ‘PMSing’, having their emotions invalidated, being treated as a ‘whore’ or ‘slut’ for dressing a certain way, being blamed for their own sexual assault, not performing femininity right, or any other experience you think is exclusive to cis women. Whether they ‘suffer’ like we did or not, they are valid and they belong in women’s spaces. Gatekeeping is not good or worthwhile.

Has anyone heard about Andrew Taint today? He tried to taunt Greta Thunberg about the emissions of his car, she accused him of small dick energy, he was so offended that he made a pathetic video in a robe with pizza 10 hours later, then the Romanian authorities arrested him for his human trafficking allegations.
Idk about you, but I’m thinking Greta and everyone trolling Tate in his replies is a Queen right now.

sylenciio said: This has nothing to do with sexism lmao, it's just being realistic. The Rite is supposed to be failed even by 500+ yo warriors who dedicated their whole life to training (man or women) 💀
“it is just being realistic”... this is a fantasy series. we are living in SJM’s fantasy world. if she wanted to make the valkyries survive and win the rite then i don’t understand why that’s not “realistic” enough for you, but you’re willing to suspend disbelief when it comes to the other fantasy elements in this series. 
also no other women have ever competed in the rite. so for the only females in prythian history to compete and win to then be labeled in this fandom as “not realistic” is extremely sexist. they won, but they’re still being dragged down because people in this fandom think they didn’t earn that win. that’s sexist. people claim gwyn shouldn’t have been allowed to have that title, but seem to remain quiet when rhys was literally dragged between cassian and azriel to the stone... that’s sexist. 
the whole point of why the rite is near impossible to survive and win is because the ones competing are alone, they have no one in there they trust to have their back. but then the bat bois had each other to fight for and live for. the valkyries had each other to fight for and live for. so i don’t get why this is such a hard concept to accept other than this fandom has some sexist and misogynistic shit they need to work through. 
you don’t have to like the valkyries, you don’t even have to care about them surviving, but it’s real silly to argue about realism in a fantasy series and not care about other elements that stretch the imagination.

i really don’t understand this weird movement in fandom that people are pushing where what you ship/how you ship needs to be pre-approved by others. if i want to ship elain with lucien or mor, i will. if i want to ship azriel with therapy or koschei, i will. these characters are not real. i can ship them with literally anything/anyone and that’s for me to decide.
“oh elain is uncomfortable around…” elain isn’t real, i will ship her with anyone i want.
“these characters want each other why can’t you respect…” cause they’re not real and if i want to ship them with the scum of the earth or the hottest ginger in prythian that’s my right.
“the implication of you shipping them with someone when they’re not into it…” good thing they’re fictional and don’t care if i ship them with the literal devil.
fandom is supposed to be fun and for the fans. i don’t need to justify my shipping preference just because it makes you upset. you don’t like it? ok, find someone else to follow who ships the same shit.

so rhys being the most powerful high lord in history, azriel and cassian being the most powerful illyrians in history, and all three being carynthians is fine, but you draw the line at the valkyries outwitting and surviving the blood rite and 2 out of 3 being named carynthians... ok. 
huh, wonder what the difference might be between the bat bois and the valkyries.... it’s on the tip of my tongue... sounds like schmexism?

snake | myg
pairing(s): yoongi x reader
summary: Your parents have no qualms on doing whatever they can to climb the social ladder. That includes assigning you a betrothed you've never met, an offering to the crown prince. You, the one the gossipers whisper under their breath... the Snake Princess.
warnings: implied parental emotional and physical abuse; language; non-idol!AU - prince!Yoongi x aristocrat!reader, ft overprotective (but secretly soft), tattooed, little brother!JK; based on this
“I don’t care what our father said, you’re not marrying him!”
You scratched your ear, partly shielding it from the loud voice of your brother.
“He’s an asshole!”
“You don’t know him?” you offered, affixing your earring, somewhat annoyed. The yellow gold wasn’t quite your style. Your parents liked such gaudy, ugly things.
Both in fashion and tradition, unfortunately.
“Do you?” your brother shot back, throwing himself up from your bed where he was yelling at the ceiling about nothing he could change. It was a favorite past time of his, along with following you around like a talkative shadow.
“No, that’s why I’m meeting him today,” you replied dryly. You switched to the other ear, adding the dragon-shaped ear cuff above the gold earring. Your parents hated it when you added such aggressive accessories – they’re not womanly, they would say – but if you were going to be betrothed to some guy on the sole basis that they had ambitions and he was the man who so happened to be the next-in-line for the throne, you weren’t going to lie about what kind of woman you were.
“Aren’t you pissed?”
You shrugged. “Is it so bad?”
“Yes!”
You sighed and flickered your eyes to the mirror, seeing Jeon Jungkook’s furious expression, long black hair tied back with lingering strands framing his high cheekbones, his black and gold robes wild, poorly tied and revealing half of his tanned, toned chest. His dark brown eyes flashed, pressing his cherry-painted lips together, jawline sharp and defiant. That’s how Jungkook always looked, messy, undone, borderline furious.
Everyone called him the Reckless Prince.
You just called him little brother.
“Noona…”
“Hmm?”
You saw him frown and you looked away, running a hand through your hair, browsing your hair accessories. You used to have an aide to help you at one point, but you told your parents to get rid of them, preferring to get ready by yourself. And besides, Jungkook liked to burst in and interrupt you with his relentless tirades about how unfair your arranged marriage was. There was no point in having hired help when you could coerce your brother into doing things as you put up with him.
“Can I brush your hair?”
“You have arms and hands, so you’re physically capable, yes.”
You heard him click his tongue in annoyance and smirked, shifting your eyes to the mirror. He was behind you now, face no longer visible. It didn’t matter. You already knew his cross expression quite well. He snatched the ornate comb from your vanity, the black snake head clearly visible on the side of his right wrist, inked near his thumb. Your parents scolded and beat him for getting it, but Jungkook could care less, breaking the wooden paddle with ease, right out of your mother’s hand.
You hadn’t said anything.
The rumors called you the Snake Princess.
Quick-witted, sharp, vicious. Not to your face though, because that was just foolishness. It wouldn’t be only your wrath they would be evoking.
Jungkook ran the comb through your hair, gently separating the strands, careful not to pull too hard. He was better than any aide anyway. They merely yanked and pulled you into their standard of beauty, ignoring your opinions or input, always citing that it was important to not look like a peasant, important to always look above your status, using your beauty to save face.
Saving face.
You hated those words.
“What if he’s a horrible person?” your brother asked quietly, tucking the strands away from your eyes only for them to slip back stubbornly.
“Then he’s a horrible person,” you replied, applying your makeup. “And you’ll probably do something about it.”
Jungkook made a noise between an aggravated bear and an injured tiger.
“If he so much as puts one fingertip on you, I’ll kill him.”
You snorted. “I’d hate to tell you what marriage entails, Jungkook.”
The comb in your hair paused.
His anger subsided, just like that.
“You’re really going to do it?” he asked softly. “Really, really?”
You heard the pain in Jungkook’s voice.
You recalled when you received the news many years ago, silent fury as your parents gave you away, turning you into a transaction to raise their own reputation and status. Your reaction was nothing to your little brother’s, him running to your room and crying in your arms, distraught and upset that you were leaving him, declaring he hated your parents, everyone, and everything.
“You’re supposed to protect me,” Jungkook had sobbed, already too big for you to hold like this but you did anyway, patting his head and wiping his tears with your sleeve. “You’re supposed to be here, with me, forever and always.”
He had taken your hand, tucking his fingers in yours, pressing your pinkies together.
“You promised me.”
And you had, from the very beginning, the shy kid always following after you and making you speak for him, your parents yelling and scolding him to be a man, but you defending him, taking the slaps meant for him, sneaking him sweets when he was hiding his tears, telling him it was okay to cry and that noona would stay here and listen to his worries, no matter if it was as stupid as a butterfly flying away or the teacher once again reprimanding him for his poor scores.
The amount of pressure they put on him just because he was the son was immense.
“I wanna play,” he had cried softly. “I don’t have to study anymore.”
“You want to be stupid?” you had teased, patting his head. “What if I had my lessons with you? I can make that happen.”
“R-Really?”
So, you made it happen, telling your parents and tutors that it would be better for him to be exposed to more complex concepts earlier rather than later and watching someone learn would improve his own scores. You made yourself a better student for his benefit and he, in turn, followed obediently, doing what you did, always overjoyed to hear your praise.
You and your snake tongue could made anything happen for him.
“This servant is bothering me.”
You found some questionable information on that servant and they resigned rather quickly.
“I don’t like the girl our father introduced me to.”
Suddenly said girl was no longer interested in Jungkook. For… reasons.
“I wish I could go on vacation, even for a couple days.”
That one got you both beaten for your three-day adventure to the sea, mostly because you had to run away from your duties to do it. But it was worth it to see the smile on Jungkook’s face.
Then Jungkook became a teenager.
You might have taught him that rules were for old people, for the generation too uptight.
He wanted to do a whole lot of things and you made it happen. Getting him out of those sticky situations was a bit tough, but nothing unmanageable. And now Jungkook was a young adult who did not care about anyone’s opinion other than yours, getting tattooed and spending all of his time with his friends, lackadaisical and free, your parents giving up and calling him a disgrace, relying on your marriage to restore the reputation they valued so much, the face they themselves ruined with their own poor decisions, taking out their frustrations on you and Jungkook, sometimes without warning.
You stayed home, playing good daughter so Jungkook could be the bad son.
Ah, maybe it was your fault he was the Reckless Prince.
You turned, looking up at him now from the corner of your eye, up his loose robes and exposed collarbone, up the line of his jaw that was similar to yours, his lips not quite as full, his round brown orbs that were actually much more innocent and purer than he liked to admit, similar to your eye shape.
But not the same.
Because your eyes were sharper, cold-blooded, predatory.
Even with Jungkook, there was no mistaking the power behind your gaze.
“Do you think just because I’m married to some man that he can control my life?” you said with a sly smile, your lips painted lush red. “I’ll come visit you whenever I want. You can come whenever you want. You can live with me if you want.”
You turned back, sweeping your hair and twisting it in place, deftly and quickly pinning it back, leaving some strands loose and messy that your parents would highly disapprove of, but why did that matter? If this man was to be your husband, then he would see you completely undone at one point, so he should get used to it.
Your parents wouldn’t approve of the black and dark green combination you had chosen either, but that’s why you learned how to sew to dress yourself as you liked. You have to be a lady. You were a lady. Just your version of a lady and not theirs. They tried to gatekeep you by saying that the pink and yellow fabrics were all they could afford. They had a tendency to underestimate your craftiness.
No obstacle was too high for the Snake Princess to slither over.
“Really?” Jungkook asked as you stood up, smoothly adjusting the tie at your waist.
You chuckled at him as he began to follow you out of your bedroom.
“If that’s what you want, I’ll do it for you.”
-
“You brought your brother.”
“I don’t bring him anywhere. He comes and goes as he pleases.”
Jungkook was sitting behind you, arms crossed, glaring at the dark-haired man sitting in front of you. You had mildly fixed his appearance before entering only from him to push up his sleeves so he could reveal the entire snake tattoo wrapped around his arm, a black snake surrounded by thorned vines.
“Hmm.”
This man had requested to meet you first, alone, without the parents. Untraditional, but as long as his father agreed to the request, it was done. Your father had no say in the matter, although he did protest rather loudly and uncouthly.
You had poured the tea for your future husband and you.
Neither of you were drinking it.
The man before you had a piercing gaze, cloud-white skin, shapely lips. Somehow, he surprised you by being dressed in black and gold as well, although he was much neater than Jungkook, black hair tied back in a the usual, curated traditional style.
“I intend in marrying you, you know.”
He had a deep, rough voice, reminding you of dead leaves and winter.
“Is that not the point of this meeting?” was your dry response.
A dark eyebrow lifted.
Jungkook clicked his tongue dismissively.
Those shapely lips curved into a slow smirk.
“I thought I wouldn’t like you,” the dark-haired man mused, reaching over to the teacup and pulling it to him. “I was fully prepared to refuse this proposal and put your family more in the dirt than your brother has already put them into.”
“You bas–” Jungkook hissed, but you held up a hand, cutting him off.
You kept your eyes on those dark brown orbs, cat-like and predatory. He took a deep inhale of the aroma of the tea, letting out a satisfied, smokey sigh.
“I thought you would be like the others. Prim, proper, begging for me to take your hand.”
You raised an eyebrow. “What do I need to beg for? You either will or you won’t. It has nothing to do with me.”
A dark chuckle. “Indeed.”
He took a long sip of the tea, savoring it. You watched him swallow, his Adam’s apple bobbing, tongue flickering out to lick his lips. Slowly lowering his head, scrutinizing gaze on you. He made you wait for his words.
“And besides, snakes can’t kneel, can they, Snake Princess?” he purred.
“Don’t you dare call her that!”
“No, they cannot,” you replied calmly, ignoring Jungkook’s outburst, staring into the eyes of the man who was going to decide whether or not you were going to be his wife.
“They can’t pray either.”
The dark-haired man tilted his head, intrigued.
“I have no need for gods to be able to live the life I want, Min Yoongi,” you said quietly, venomous edge to your voice. “The ties you put on me cannot restrain me from living as frivolously or ambitiously as I like.”
Min Yoongi, the man who would decide whether you would live an honorable or disgraceful life, the man who was next-in-line, the crown prince. You were meant to be his, but, unlike you, he was free to refuse. Unlike you, he had nothing to lose. Unlike you, he could destroy your life in a heartbeat with a simple no.
“You believe that?” Yoongi questioned, daring you.
You didn’t back down, small serpentine smile on your lips.
“I do not need to believe when I know.”
Silence.
Then Yoongi’s shoulders shook, raspy laughing bubbling from his throat, smirk on his lips.
“You want me to refuse. You want to ruin your parents’ lives.”
You didn’t say anything, your smile fading.
“Ah, but the problem is, I really do like you, Snake Princess,” Yoongi hummed. “You sharp tongue and you even sharper mind. A simpler man would have been tricked by you.” He tapped his long fingers against the table, keeping his feline poise directed at you. “I did not want some placid, useless little thing but a real woman, someone who isn’t afraid to say what she thinks. Why have a trophy when you can have a weapon?”
He placed his chin on the back of his other hand, clicking his tongue thoughtfully.
“What shall we do then? You absolutely must be my wife.”
“You–” Jungkook hissed, rising up behind you, glaring at Yoongi over your shoulder. “You know she doesn’t want to marry you and yet you’re going to do it anyway?”
The dark-haired man raised an eyebrow. “She doesn’t want to marry me because she wants her parents to pay for using her so carelessly to further their status. However,” he added with a sweep of his hand on the table, palm upward towards you. “Has she actually said she has no interest in me as a person? During this entire meeting, has she declared that I, the crown prince, am not to her liking?”
Yoongi gave Jungkook a sharp look.
“Do you think she would hide her disdain for me if she had some?”
Silence.
“N… Noona?”
“Yes, Jungkook?”
“You don’t like him at all… right?”
Silence.
You let out a deep breath, slow and controlled.
“Hmm, you are very intuitive.”
Yoongi grinned. “You know we would be a good match, you and I. Here,” he murmured, pointing to the table. “On the throne.” Pointing outside, indicating the land. His cat-like eyes locked with your snake-like gaze, lips forming his next words slowly and deliberately.
“In bed.”
Your eyes trailed from those glittering dark eyes to his pleased smirk. Not a malicious expression somehow. An exciting one. You fully expected to be walking into this room to tear down an arrogant, gaudy man with grandiose self-centeredness.
Instead, it was Min Yoongi.
He ticked his chin to Jungkook, now right next you instead of behind you, clutching your arm tightly.
“Do you want him to be with you? That could be arranged. I can make that happen.”
You really thought you would hate Min Yoongi and yet it seemed as if you were being drawn closer and closer to him. You pursed your lips, not ready to give up yet. He continued.
“And, of course, there’s no reason for your parents to enjoy luxuries that they didn’t earn, is there?”
You narrowed your eyes at him. Yoongi smiled, calm with an underlying slyness.
“That would reflect on you if you treated your in-laws poorly,” you responded coolly.
Yoongi shrugged. “And so? I still have you.” He tilted his head. “Why take a wife if you’re not prepared to do anything for her?” He nodded to himself, tapping his fingertips on the table once more. “Whatever you want, I can make it happen. Be it your brother tagging along, your parents’ lives in ruins…”
Yoongi’s eyes found yours and there was a kindness, already knowing your and him were meant to be.
You weren’t so sure.
And yet.
His next words made you fall in love.
“If that’s what you want, I’ll do it for you.”

i dont "kin for fun" but through tiktok i found out about the whole kin for fun vs actual otherkin... situation ig? im having a really hard time taking it seriously... maybe im just burnt out and bitter from dealing with the worlds current events, and maybe its because on tiktok the only people i saw mad about it were white people, but you're the most reasonable person ive seen talking about it (a lot of other posts have this odd tone that 12 year olds on tiktok saying kin is the worlds greatest opression and it weirds me out) so ig my question is just... why exactly does this matter? why does it matter enough to post about and care about and not just ignore? /gen
Hey! I don’t blame you for being a bit weirded out by it, we’re a weird subculture and we’re well aware of it! xD I appreciate you taking the time to actually look into it past your first knee-jerk reaction, especially considering burnout and the state of things.
I’m not totally sure if you’re asking why otherkinity matters or why the “kin for fun” being wrong matters, so I’ll answer both - they’re pretty well tied together anyway.
The short version:
Otherkinity is an identity. It’s who we are, we can’t choose to pick it up or put it down, and it comes with struggles - though no, ‘kin are not systematically oppressed (though we are pretty badly bullied and, at this point, pushed out of our own words and spaces).
What people calling roleplay/relating to/projecting onto characters “kinning for fun” does is steal our words, make them meaningless, and in doing so, make it difficult or impossible for us to find each other. If someone says “I kin [x],” I no longer know whether they mean “I am [x] on an intrinsic level” or “haha I relate to this character a lot”. I no longer know whether they actually share my experiences or if they’re going to turn on me and call me “crazy” as soon as they realize I’m not exaggerating or joking or roleplaying. It’s done massive harm to the community as a whole because it’s become difficult to tell whether someone is actually ‘kin or if they’ve misunderstood the whole thing - and because antikin rhetoric, which I’m seeing more and more in KFF spaces, hurts far more when it’s coming from inside what you thought was a community space than when it’s coming from self-labeled “antikin.”
There are other words for roleplaying and relating to and projecting onto characters. Hell, there are words for strongly identifying with-but-not-as characters/things, though usually KFF people don’t even seem serious enough for those to fit in my experience. I’m really not sure why these people are so determined to steal and misuse our words, words that were specifically created to mean something else, when they already have their own and are just refusing to use them. (Or, hell, if you don’t feel like those fit, make your own. We did. It’s your turn to put in the work. (General you, not you-the-anon, of course.))
An analogy, if that still doesn’t quite land for you:
Consider, for a moment, the transgender community. I am aware this is a dangerous thing to say, but bear with me. Obvious CW for hypothetical transphobia up ahead is obvious.
Consider if you were part of the trans community (I don’t know if you are or not), having finally found a word to explain why you feel the way you do about yourself, why your experiences don’t seem to match up with those of everyone else around you. Having found a community, a home, full of other people like you, people you never would have met if not for words like “transgender” and “gender dysphoria/euphoria” that were created specifically to describe your experiences.
Now consider if people suddenly stumbled across your community for the first time who were not trans themselves. They see community jokes and lighthearted posts out of context, because Tumblr and Twitter aren’t exactly conducive to making sure people find the Transgender 101 information posts first. They don’t bother to do further research, assuming they understand: ah, these people like to crossdress! They like to pretend they’re a different gender! This seems like a fun hobby, I want in!
They begin to post things like this. They post photos of them crossdressing and caption them “hi, I’m [name], and I trans men!” and things of the like. Suddenly the concept of “transing for fun” seems to be everywhere - and it’s not at all what being trans actually is, but these people either don’t know or don’t care. When actual trans people try to politely correct them, they’re accused of “gatekeeping” - and to be clear, this is not “nonbinary people aren’t real,” it’s “transgender means you identify as a gender other than the one you were assigned at birth, and you’re self-identifying as the gender you were assigned at birth 100% and telling us this is just a fun hobby for you, therefore you’re not trans, you’re crossdressing or doing drag or being GNC. That’s fine, but it’s not being trans - you have other words to describe that, use those.”
(Yes, I am aware these things have a history with the trans community - please just ignore that for the sake of the analogy and bear with me on the slightly simplified version of this. “Kinning for fun” does not have that same history with the otherkin community.)
...And then the response to those attempted corrections, in some corners, turns into “wait, you ACTUALLY think you’re another gender? idk that sounds pretty unhealthy, maybe you should see a psychologist or something :\” and “you’re taking this too seriously.”
I imagine, in this hypothetical scenario, you’d also be pretty fuckin peeved.
(Obviously, in this hypothetical scenario, systematic transphobia would be an issue as well, which isn’t the case for otherkin - again, you’re gonna have to bear with me on the simplification for sake of analogy there.)
(EDIT: this is not an anti-MOGAI/exclusionist argument, this is “you’re literally telling me you don’t fit the definition,” explanation on that here)
The long version, which is probably still worth reading if you have the time and energy:
Otherkinity is... pretty core to who I am, who we as a group of individuals are. We live with being otherkin on a daily basis. Many of us spent a long time feeling different and disconnected and not understanding why until we found the otherkin community. Even people like me, who don’t share that experience and still had social connection - I’ve still had to live with weird differences that I had to learn to mask when necessary; instincts that don’t line up with human society well, feeling body parts that weren’t there and that no one else ever seemed to have, things that other kids grew out of because it was just make-believe for them and I... didn’t, because it was never make-believe for me to begin with. Oh, sure, I played make-believe too - I played warrior cats and house and all those things with the other kids, but there were things that weren’t play-pretend for me too. I didn’t have an explanation for it for a long time - it was just how I was, I was weird, and fortunately for me personally I was okay with that (many of those with species dysphoria or more trouble connecting with humans have more problems from that than I did).
And then I found the word “otherkin.” And suddenly everything fell into place, and I had an explanation for the things I’d been experiencing, and there were other people like me. Something I’d assumed didn’t exist. I found others who shared my unique experiences, who were talking about how to cope with the instinct to growl or snap jaws at people instead of expressing annoyance in a human way instead of just saying “that’s weird, don’t do that”, who were talking about dealing with phantom wings and tails, who understood me. I wasn’t weird, I wasn’t broken, I was exactly what one would expect from a dragon living in human skin. I found an explanation for myself. I found a home.
That is why otherkinity matters - it is who we are, it’s not something we can walk away from (certainly not most of us, anyway), and it’s something many of us need the support of the community to help deal with on a daily basis. Being a nonhuman in human society isn’t always easy, but it’s not something we can just magically stop being - it’s core to who we are, we (generally) didn’t choose to be this way, and we (generally) can’t choose to stop. Which is fine - the vast majority of us can cope with it just fine, with a little advice and help and space to be our authentic selves in. We found each other, we built this community from the ground up to make a space and words to make finding each other easier - or possible at all.
Thus we come to the second half of our story.
It was only a couple of years ago that the “kin for fun” trend started getting big. It had existed before that, of course, but it only started going mainstream two, maybe three years ago, from what I can tell. Suddenly people were treating “kin” like it meant relating to, projecting onto, roleplaying as, or just really really liking a character or thing - not being that thing, which is what it actually means. Not long after that, it became hard to tell whether someone saying “I kin this” meant they were that thing, that they were actually part of our community - or that they really really liked that thing and either didn’t know or couldn’t be bothered to learn that that wasn’t the case for us.
Not long after that, it became relatively commonplace to hear phrases like “otherkin are ruining kinning!!” and “you’re taking this too seriously” and “idk, if it’s that serious for you that sounds unhealthy. maybe you should get some help :\” (all directly quoted, or as exactly quoted as I can remember, from things KFF people have said to me or people I know).
It is a special kind of hell, I think, to be told “you’re taking this too seriously, that’s unhealthy” by people who are taking words created to describe your experiences, not theirs, and misusing them to mean something that you do for fun on a weekend instead of something that’s intrinsic to your being.
Perhaps more importantly, like I’ve said, it’s making it almost impossible to know whether someone who says “I kin [x]” is actually ‘kin or if they’re misusing our words to mean something else entirely. The entire point of words is to communicate ideas, and once you start misusing words to mean something totally different than what they actually mean, that communication falls apart and suddenly we might as well not have those words at all. Especially when the community is small enough and obscure enough that we’re starting to be outnumbered by the misinformation. We’re being run out of our own words, words we created to describe our experiences specifically - because we’re a small community that the wider internet can easily drown out by sheer numbers of people who either don’t know any better or don’t care to learn.
That’s the harm it does - the harm it is doing, right now. That’s why it’s important enough to post about. That’s why it matters - because we’re fighting desperately to hang onto our own words so that others like us can actually find us. Because we’re seeing young nonhumans go “this isn’t a kin, I actually am this” and screaming “No, I’m so sorry that this is what the misinformation has done to you, that’s exactly what otherkin means, you have a place here, please don’t let these non-’kin misusing our words drive you away from the very community you’re looking for and that you belong in.” Because we can’t even communicate effectively about our own experiences anymore except in semi-closed spaces like Discord servers and forums (and the number of Discord servers overrun with KFF people is absurd).
......This got very long. Hopefully it at least explained why it matters so much to me and others a bit better ^^; Thanks for hearing me out, and thank you again for looking into this beyond your initial knee-jerk reaction - I really do appreciate it.
(For further reading, if that text wall didn’t blow you out of the water completely, I recommend my “kin for fun” tag, which has more posts like this in both short and long form.)

I finished my damn tattoo
Do you guys remember this post ?
Yes?
Good.
Well I finally finished the tatto design i want to get done! It’s really personnal to me, hence why I wanted to design the entire thing instead of letting the tatto artist do their thing (I already know I’m going to be a nightmare to work with, control issues amirite).
PSA: Don’t steal this design and get it tattoed. I wil gladly allow you to take inspiration from the design and won’t gatekeep the concept (since yk it’s such a common design), but this particular piece is deeply personnal. Please and thank you.
Here is the finished baby:
Tumblr media
Yes it’s on the wrong side. Deal with it.
I’m probably gonna get it as a chestpiece on the sternum? Or maybe on the lower back ? Idk still trying to figure that one out. But I love it very much. 
Sure, it’s not perfect, but I wanted to make it as detailed as possible so that the tattoo artist will know exactly what I want.
I’m gonna try it out for a few months using temporary tattoos! They’re kind of expensive but I don’t want to just go off and let someone doodle on my chest without getting comfortable with it lmao.
What do ya’ll think? I’m still looking to improve it but I want to keep a very clean finish.

Here’s the thing about the royal simblr drama..
So I feel like I’m a fairly neutral party in the middle of all this drama (kinda fitting considering that’s what I build my nation as as well). I know and have worked on my story both with the people accused and those who haven’t. All of them are lovely people who I’ve enjoyed working with and who gave me no hard time. Now sadly I’ve found out that this isn't the case for everyone. However as I too care about this community I want to help and make it a better place.
Here are some points of observation from someone with years of studying and first hand experience in psychology about the situation: (It’s a long post)
1. The “cliques”. Now we as humans naturally tend to form “cliques”; groups of like minded people who we share interests with. This is completely normal and nothing to be ashamed off. And we as people also tend to not get along with everyone. This too is also fine and completely normal. It is completely okay and acceptable to vent about people/things/concepts you don’t like or find annoying to your friends. We all do it. Yes, even as adults, cause guess what we don’t all get along and that is fine. Is this an excuse to treat someone like shit? No and that’s where the problem begins. 
2. Power corrupts. Shortly when we as humans are placed in a position of power aka a situation where we feel we have the upper hand or are in some form “above” others it gets to our heads (take the 1971 Stanford Prison Experiment as an example). Now I’m not saying that these people necessarily think themselves better, I’m saying that with bigger follower number and more influence your behavior might change. Maybe they don’t even consider themselves being mean or gatekeeping.
3. Original ideas. There is no such thing as an original idea. All of us have had our stories inspired by other stories, real or fiction, to some extend. However this does NOT mean you can flat out copy someone else’s storyline. But what is counted as copying? If you take another creators scene, plotline, etc. and add it your story without making any or barely any changes THEN you’re copying. “But I have a scene just like XXX and now I’m being blamed for copying.” If you didn’t intentionally do it, it’s not malicious copying and you can still fix it. If you’re unsure talk it over with the other blog and/or just re-take the pictures from a different angle or re-write dialogue. Being inspired by others if fine! Just know and learn the difference between inspiration and copying.
4. Gatekeeping. Now this is a tad tricky. You see those who first started telling royal simblr stories, and in doing so created this community, might have had or might still have ideas and wishes for what this community looks like. However since this community is this large it’s simply impossible to have those wished granted. We all have different sets of skills and amount of time to put into our stories. While to some this is like making their own book or tv show, others just want to take pretty pictures of sims in grand palaces and tiaras. Both of these approaches are fine and valid! The problem is that when you hold something in high value to yourself and see someone else just “mess around” with it you feel hurt. How can they not take this seriously?! But the thing is they are, just as you. They just have a different set of goals and motivation for their story. Not every book is a bestseller and that is okay.
5. False positivity. False positivity helps no one however there’s a difference between being falsely positive and being supportive. The main difference? What you wanted out of the conversation. A person looking for criticism to improve their work does not want or benefit from just supportive comments alone! If that’s all they get they’ll get frustrated and that’s where bad feeling towards other start. Same thing other other side, a person looking for encouragement does not want criticism! What they need is your thumbs up emojis and a few positive words. If they get unasked for critique they don’t receive it as such, to them it’s easily just bullying. 
How to fix the situation:
Now please note that these are just MY individual ideas. There’s no simple solution to this and it surely doesn’t happen over night but change can be made.
1. Make two separate channels on the server; CONSTRUCTIVE CRITISISM and ENGOURAGEMENT. Those looking for support can choose which variety they want and need. Now this also means that if you go to the criticism channel that’s what you’ll get! Everyone needs to take personal responsibility on this and not go on the channels they don’t want. If you don’t want criticism from complete strangers DM a friend, or ask a specific creator if they’d have the time to give you critique. 
2. Own what you’ve said, and apologize. Those that have said mean words need to own up to them, apologize from the individuals affected and stop. Private messages shared between friends is fine (it’s human nature), however if your discussions revolve around judging and/or belittling others you might want to reconsider. Also if you’re not directly involved or asked keep your opinions to yourself. No one likes unsolicited comments.
3. NO MORE GATEKEEPING! Now this is should be obvious to everyone. This is a community which means people are going to do things differently. Don’t follow blogs who’s stories you’re not interested in. Don’t send anon hate cause you don’t like what they do. Unlearn the idea that there’s only one way to tell a royal simblr story. If you can’t do that, grow up.
4. Say no. If you don’t want to collab with someone say no. Seriously. Going around this will only create more behind the scenes trash talking. And if you’re told no, accept it. Most of us are adults, we can or at least should be able to handle a no. It sucks when the other person doesn’t share our enthusiasm for an idea but that happens. With so many stories out there sadly not all of them are going to align. Luckily we’re a big community so the odds that someone out there likes your idea is quite large! Which brings me to the last point 5. Keep an open mind. As said we’re a big community of different people from all over the world. We come from multiple ethnicities, religions and countries, we’re individuals of different sexualities and genders. We all have our own set of ideals and ideas we’d like to see. We’re storytellers and readers, weavers of massive intricate worlds, or people who just like to keep it simple. Our difference is a richness. You might not like every idea but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad idea. Let people be and do their thing.
So that’s it for me. I hope I didn’t cross any lines with this. Thank you for taking the time to read what has been the longest Ani’s rambling ever. Let’s work towards a more healthy and welcoming community. My asks and anons are on.
Love, Ani

hi liv! you're awesome and ily but this is kinda a confession more than anything else. idk why this happens to me, but sometimes some fanfics that everyone else loved, really don't hit the spot for me. like i appreciate them but i just find myself getting bored and distracted yet when i see other people loving it, i feel so freaking guilty. it feels like i should like it and im missing out but i can't force myself to read them too. it's the most frustrating thing ever and i don't know what to do
Hi anon! First of all I’m sorry you’ve been feeling like this, it breaks my heart to see anyone being guilt tripped into liking something popular just because everyone else does. I’ve mentioned a few times that I’m wary about reccing (what people consider) classics exactly because of that. Of course they’re brilliant and popular for a reason - especially the ones that introduced innovative concepts or headcanons we all love and share today. I love many of those fics but others are definitely a pass for me, and the idea of being required to read and enjoy them to be considered a valid shipper (??) drives me up the wall. I’m happy you felt that my blog was safe and welcoming enough to share this with me without fearing judgment, anon 💜
What you’re feeling right now sucks big time and I assume pretty much everyone has gone/is going through the same dilemma being in a huge, long-standing fandom like Drarry. The amount of available works is insane, there’s no time to check everything that’s going on at once, and I’ve seen a few “gatekeepers” around - whether or not intentionally - putting a lot of extra pressure onto newcomers, casual fans and even old shippers like myself, to read this and that.
It’s completely normal that not every story will would spark something in you. Fic reading is an extremely personal experience and everyone has their preferences, hard nos, squicks and whatnot. It’s virtually impossible to have one single fic catering to every single shipper’s needs, and I doubt that any author has that intention anyway. The heartkick factor is so subjective sometimes you read two similar fics exploring the very same trope, and one works for you while the other doesn’t 🤷🏻‍♀️ imo trying to rationalize and justify reading preferences only leads to frustration, I prefer to accept that my heart wants what it wants, and there’s that!
I’ve mentioned before that Lettered is my fave Drarry author, yes? I wonder how many people will be surprised to learn that some of her fics didn’t work for me at all, I either never finished or never revisited them. Similarly, GallaPlacidia is largerly adored and read - I do love some of her fics but others are just not my jam, mostly because I have no interest in a few tropes. No I haven’t checked every fic Saras_Girl has ever published, and I’ve never read Turn, her most popular one but not a personal fave, more than twice. And it’s okay. It’s all good. Even if they knew I existed, I doubt that Lettered, Galla and Saras_Girl would care as much about it as some readers do lmao truth is, this is a space I come exclusively for fun, and we don’t owe anyone anything. Readers are free to choose and read and enjoy whatever they want, the same way authors are free to write whatever they want.
(Which is why I will never understand anti comments - no one is forcing you to read shit so is there any reason why you cannot close the tab, block the tags and move on? Must you really leave unsolicited criticism after literally wasting your time reading something you didn’t enjoy?! Makes absolutely no sense to me)
If I were to stress over how much I haven’t read or enjoyed I probably wouldn’t have created a recs blog in the first place. I admit sometimes I do feel pressured about not being as up to date and knowledgeable about the fandom as I’d like to - then I remember I’m here to have fun in my very limited free time, and my only rule should be to please me, myself and I. If I’m not having fun or feeling invested in the read, you can bet I’m gonna peace out and focus on something that hits that special spot. There’s nothing more valuable than learning how to curate your experience, and knowing you’re not a lesser fan because of that is an important step, too.
This got too long and I’m not sure if it helped, but I hope you feel better soon! Be gentle to yourself and prioritize your preferences, go after what makes your heart tingle and focus on having a good time. Sending lots of love 💜

As an ENTP apparently my most compatible MBTI types are INTJ and INFJ so that’s Kars, Diavolo and Diego….. I- BESTIE IM SCARED
I- 🧎‍♀️
INTJs are SOOOOO SEXY, I LOVE INTJs!!! (Giorno is one 😳)
okay, this is gonna be a long post (cuz you brought MBTI and Jojo in this, which I fucking LOVE) so I'll put it under the cut
!Disclaimer! All types can get along so long as you're both healthy and willing to understand each other! Please don't limit yourself to your "most compatible" type when looking to develop relationships with people
To answer your ask, ENTPs and INTJs can get along so well! In theory, it does make sense since you're each other's foils (Ne-Ni, Ti-Te, etc. Sorry if that doesn't make sense lol 😅). In reality, I think you would be able to bounce off each other a lot and there's great synergy. The ENTP's wits complied with the INTJ's blunt, smart-ass answers. Just imagine planning world domination together with Diavolo, Diego, and/or Kars and watching the world burn~
INTJs are almost always the villains in any story (along with ENTJ) but isn't that the appeal of them anyways???
They're slow burn but imo, it's so worth it because they're loyal for life. They're an asshole to the world, but a sweetheart only to you!
In terms of what an INTJ yandere would look like, they'd definitely be obsessed (but never outwardly show it) and EXTREMELY POSSESSIVE. For INTJs, they tend to have trouble understanding people's feelings and are pretty oblivious to the concept of love. So once they find someone who they can open their heart to, they'll gatekeep them till the day they die. Out of the billions of people in this world, YOU are the one they chose to be with. You think they're gonna let you go that easily?
As for INFJs? That'd have to be Pucci and Mikitaka.
Fun fact: INFJs are voted the most likely to be yanderes on PDB lol
Honestly, ENTP-INFJ relationships are so funny. It's literally the devil and angel mix. The ENTP is chaotic and will casually wreak havoc, while the INFJ will more peaceful, loving, and cleaning up after ENTP.
Similar to yandere INTJs, yandere INFJs are obsessive, possessive, but also MANIPULATIVE. INFJs have an uncanny ability to read and understand people. They'll know when you're lying, what you're actually feeling, and what you're thinking. You can't hide anything from them. A yandere INFJ could easily use this to their advantage and MAKE you fall in love with them and you would be none the wiser.
Just look at Pucci, he was able to look past Dio's cold exterior and bring out a gentle, loving, and almost human side from him. Dio actually felt understood and showed Pucci affection (I don't mean this romantically cuz there is debate on whether Pucci and Dio were lovers or just friends, but you can take it this way if you want). And that's just something INFJs are able to do. So just imagining how they use this skill as a yandere is terrifying (recall how Pucci influenced Dio's sons in part 6).
d1lftaro, you're really in for a treat cuz imo, INFJs, INTJs, and INFPs are most likely to be yanderes. And the fact that ENTPs are most compatible with INTJs and INFJs is just too funny.
