Existence is a Non-Differentiable Continuum of Consciousness

There is no boundary between consciousness and existence. Existence is a continuum of non-differentiable consciousness, where the distinction between what is 'subject' and what is 'object' is not only blurred but completely irrelevant.

Existence Is Just Awareing—Not Two Things, Just One Flow.

platonic and romantic are not some sort of binary that relationships have to be divided into. they’re not even two ends of a linear spectrum. they’re fully just abstract concepts made up of culturally-dependant social behaviour and expectations that are continually forced upon people to reinforce religious, legal, and broader societal/cultural norms, often and repeatedly to the detriment of non-normative groups including, but not limited to, the queer community. and I am sick and tired of those norms being replicated in fucking fandom discourse, of all places

I feel obligated to ask, amazing nosferatu sammick art btw. Were you a fan of the ellen/orlok/thomas polycule ship when the movie came out?

Thank you! I only watched nosferatu last week tbh, but im not a fan of the movie nor of any of its ships... Sorry 🫠 sinners is the first movie that made me love vampire so unfortunately nosferatu with its great yet still standard gothic horror trope doesnt really do anything for me

transmeds thinking dysphoria is a requirement for being trans and using the healthcare system (of whatever country they're in) as a way to determine who is and isn't worthy are the worst.

Vetting people for dysphoria and making it almost impossible for even people who need surgeries/hrt is bad actually.

But when I say that there shouldn't be a diagnosis of dysphoria in order to get surgery/hrt they always complain about the minority of people who detransition and create a straw man of a person who will sue or complain about having transitioned "accidentally"

Saying that trans people shouldn't be diagnosed with dysphoria to get access to healthcare does not mean that any and all warnings and legal documents to have said things be erased.

I think any surgery needs to have a consent form and disclaimer about the possible issues. That is how surgery and recovery goes.

If a person medically/surgically transitions and then regrets it, that's on them, we shouldn't make it harder for other trans people to transition just cause some person made a mistake.

Planning is super fun. Started this as a visual exercise to see how often I was using certain characters over others and then I went wait ok this is super fun and I can show it off on Tumblr with no spoilers. have fun guessing who's who, especially for some colors that have never been seen before 💖

so you know how this fandom does the whole distinct ship names to quickly identify the different dynamics between Alastor and Vox (radiostatic vs. radiosilence, etc. etc.) thing?

well, is there anything like that for Angel and Valentino? and if not then do you think we could come up with something for that lmao

so the funky magic royalty AU is based on a dream I had, and it’s even more convoluted than Sunfall and Deimos’ Understudy; both of which were also based on dreams.

It’s got JMV, DINTIS, DS, and F!JMV/F!DINTIS. Mainly just F!JMV Mercury (grouchy old Arsenic my beloved <33), but that implies the existence of everyone else. And I can’t deny onyx his husband so F!DINTIS is there too. Probably. There’s also OGMV in the corner. But that isn’t why it’s convoluted.

It’s, as I said, a royalty AU. There’s also a funky magic system (hence the name) with six base elements, which can combine into secondary and tertiary magics, but if you combine all six at once you get lightning. which is so powerful no mortal can channel it, because they are immediately vaporized. But that doesn’t make it convoluted either.

There are three main kingdoms (excluding OGMV). But one of them is very new; in fact, by the present it’s only ~5 years old. They’re still the most magically and technologically advanced kingdom in the known world and here I have to admit I’d been watching Arcane when this thing came about, so it’s a lot steampunk-y magitek/hextech stuff

This still isn’t why it’s convoluted.

It’s convoluted because of who the fuck is in charge, and where other characters came from and currently live.

Jet and Obsidian are kings of Aphotia; a kingdom which views all other elements of magic as inferior to that of darkness, and claims the god of darkness as their patron deity.

Dream is king and Jade is prince of Luminance; a kingdom which, by virtue of its own views on magic, directly opposes Aphotia; light magic is superior, and darkness is evil. Jade originally came from Aphotia and is the only reason that using tenebris isn’t completely illegal and punishable by death. He’s the voice of reason. Pats his head.

Dark is king and Nightmare’s prince of Stateras, which by virtue of being five years old is mostly neutral to all other feuds between kingdoms. They firmly hold the belief that all the elements are equal; no one is inherently evil or better than any other. As a result, they have accomplished some crazy magical feats, and already have several kingdoms clamoring for some of their sick technology. Dark came from Aphotia and Nightmare came from Luminance.

btw Stateras is now on a floating island due to an accident with wind magic. it’s fine dwbi

Koroit and Zuli came from Luminance.

Finch came from Aphotia. Ink sorta did too but mainly she was kidnapped and that’s where her knockoff winter solider arc happened.

Lots of named characters have run off to Stateras, including Silver who’s praying Paraiba can make it before shit hits the fan.

Oh there’s also a side timeline where Obsidian and Jet overthrew the former Queen of Aphotia, who was batshit insane and is now even worse because she’s pissed at them. And she’s trying to figure out how to harness lightning. Which should kill her. But it won’t because she’s Hashtag Girlboss (also the creators are gay)

(Seriously though, we don’t have a valid excuse as to why she hasn’t been killed for her hubris. Her name is Virion and she’s actually a version of Obsidian, but she got genderbent here. Because pretty scary unhinged evil ladies >>>>> everything else)

In other news Nightmare’s new princely duties involve playing around with magic for science and his team is working on a huge mech suit they can pilot around and, maybe, channel lightning with by all of them channeling their own magics through it. No one is more excited about this than Bobby. And yes, she is on the team. She’s not allowed to help with some things because she’s fifteen and Nightmare thinks Randy would kill him anyway if something happened to her, but she’s very resourceful and is so thrilled to be learning so much about magic from the guy who invented fucking airplanes (presently only used in an offensive capacity because Nightmare’s too much of an airship nerd)

Nightmare and his team are presently the foremost experts on combo magics. Nightmare is also a pioneer in ’mixing opposing primary magics without killing everyone in the room including himself’. So far it’s just been light and dark magic but they’re working on applications for more such combinations

I have two (2) tables dedicated to the combo magics and I’m fighting with myself to not try in fill in all the tertiary magic because dear fucking god. Also more fun and story accurate if I leave it open. The secondary one is almost certainly going to have to filled out tho

I also have just (yesterday) named the OGMV’s kingdom as well as the H!DS queendom

Because I’m very creative, the H!DS queendom is called Phrikeh, after a Greek goddess of the same name (without the last h)

The OGMV’s kingdom is Cormeum. It’s a mashup of Latin words. Anyone who figures it out gets a virtual high five and also gets to ask me how late it was when I came up with it

I think that’s all I can say without giving away all the secrets before I can make the others from Phrikeh

Aside from sharing the magic charts but we ain’t got time for that my break’s over
