#object harm

[build-a-buddy]

aunt's dog got at him by accident. i'm. really upset. friends gave me help-- i have a plan now. to clean and repair. but he'll never have his little arms again. (i think i. will remove the stubs. they're sewn on from what i can tell. so they shouldn't be super hard to remove.)

i can. probably fix it. i just. ladder stitch and handsewing is really hard when you can't see well. and this guy is important. and i'm feeling guilty for not moving the bag (that's how he got eaten). and pathetic for being so upset abt this all.

uh. sorry for the plush injury/gore/etc.

if anyone has any other advice on repair and cleaning (he's an jellycat amusable baseball bag charm) please feel free to add. i don't mind additional ideas at all.

on this nice 4:30 am i would like to spiel about something

Military vehicles and nuclear weapons are among the objects i perceive as most alive and most important to me. I couldn’t tell you exactly why. but i like to explore and think about my feelings on everything that means.

Knowing that they are used as weapons of war and terror for no desire that is their own is strange. it makes me very sad. Hunks of steel raised from the ground and shaped into a form made basically only to aid in killing people. Hunks of steel we animated with electricity and gas. hunks of steel that i look at and feel like it is alive

A strange parallel to the soldier, who is likely there because of a draft, because they were propagandized, because their home would be destroyed otherwise, or because they are poor and this is the only way easily provided to them to survive. in a way they are all forced against their will to kill by powerful people who do not care.

Is the destroying of an object as horrible as the death of a person? i would say no. Honestly i don’t think objects always die when they are destroyed—the rusted tanks on flowery hills seem pretty okay to me. but my emotions sometimes scream that they are not so different. and i cannot ignore them even if i dont realistically believe that is true. An emotion cannot be killed with logic.

For nuclear weapons—there is an inherent horror in the idea of an object that is perceived as living literally only being made to explode and kill thousands to millions with that explosion. i could not imagine the innate fear and existential dread of that being my only point of existence. Do they even understand that is the purpose for which they were made? I could sure never hope to try and ask one that still has a payload.

I made a comic once based around this idea a year or so ago. it goes unfinished but the old sketches are done:

It was not actually specifically made with my perception of real nuclear weapons being alive, i did not fully understand that i felt that way until recently, it was made for an alt history/future world where military vehicles and nukes (+ a few other vehicles by way of necessity like certain construction machines for in universe reasons) are undebatably sentient. but it still has that core.

War is horror for everyone and everything

War is horror for our Earth

war is horror for the machines that help wage it

a few photos of tanks resting in beautiful places for respite

Sometimes i wish i were more interested in teddy bears or cars or just in general objects not made specifically to kill but what can i do about myself…

Fight Knight is the Spirit of Halloween.

So! A new Spirit Halloween location has opened up in Gotham, and the Batfam has decided to go shopping so they can prepare for Halloween.

Just because it's one of their busiest nights of the year doesn't mean they can't enjoy themselves while patrolling.

So the family walks in about a week before Halloween and spreads out to look for decorations or costumes to wear.

Its a fun trip, they buy their costumes, have a pleasant conversation with the manager about the holiday season, and go back home.

Then they actually put on their costumes and find out that they were either Cursed or Enchanted, because once put them on they are transformed them into the Costumes themselves.

Damien has become a Dog, after putting on a cheap dog costume at the insistence of his brothers. He's not unhappy at least.

Jason has been turned into a Zombie, though he has managed to restrain himself from eating his brother's Brains so far. He claims they look unappetizing.

Tim has been turned into Super Mario. He can't stop speaking in a bad Italian accent and has a huge mustache.

Dick has been turned into a Fairy Tale Princess after putting on the costume as a Joke. He has to admit though, he looks great as a Girl.

Even Bruce wasn't spared, and was turned into a Vampire after putting in some Plastic Teeth.

Taking off the costumes hadn't turned them back, leaving them stuck in their new forms.

Now they are all racing back to that Spirit Halloween to get answers as to what the hell just happened to them.

They hope Mr. Frank Knight has some answers for them.

[gif Description: two gifs of purple slime. On top of the slime are smaller, spiky blobs of yellow and white slime that look like star fragments from Animal Crossing. The first gif shows a hand pinching some of the star fragments between two fingers; the main slime is held in a container. The second gif shows the slime outside of the container. The person pushes their thumbs into it, folding it, and turning it around. The star fragments are still scattered across the surface. End ID]

tbhh as a POSIC person I don't really like the sentiment/agree w the idea objects will always love you always forgive you that you'll never make em.mad or upset them . I've experienced those things from objects. Hell I'm not even sold on the idea you can't hurt em-- I think you can but not exactly the same as a human and end of day they're still a object. but yeah :/

[syscest]

hi im assuming the us vs them post is about a specific term, which one would that be?

so the sysmed out-group term being referenced in the joke post was (as the reblogs guessed) "endogenic", and I'll lay our thoughts out straight just once to avoid being potentially taken the wrong way

I've got two angles here, existential theological linguistic bullshit, and harm-reduction. stay with me here because even if you're not on board with the first thing you'll want to see the second.

so "traumagenic vs endogenic" is a false dichotomy, and I don't just mean "there's a secret third thing", I mean both classifications are fundamentally not real.

personally? we haven't the foggiest idea why we're a system. but the thing is, I don't think anybody else does either - I think it's genuinely impossible to know why your own consciousness is behind your own eyes and controlling your own body, why you *experience* existing in first-person at all. Like shit, lots of singlets believe it's because a soul has been created or introduced to their flesh, and a bunch of others think that's a load of crap and the chemicals just *do this* on their own. Singlets get this unalienable right to believe whatever the hell they want about why they're experiencing being themselves all the damn time, and I refuse to believe that systems are uniquely special in a way that singlets are not such that anyone can fucking flawlessly divine the cause of our consciousness all of a sudden. These are existential-tier questions and to deny their impossible complexity and the right to self-belief over them is, in my eyes, to deny systems something many singlets feel is part of what makes them human.

You can believe all sorts of stuff about the nature of your own systemhood just like how you can believe all sorts of stuff about the nature of your own existence - that doesn't make you definitively right, it's just a meaningful mechanism through which you understand your own experiences that other people should respect - it's like any faith, go figure.

Frustratingly, these words - traumagenic, endogenic - they're not talking about belief, they're objective buckets actively being used for exclusion. So every time we use the term "traumagenic systems", in saying "systems that objectively exist because of trauma" we are saying, loudly, "it is possible to know why a system exists". and frankly? no the fuck it isn't.

Anyway that's airy bullshit and reflects very idealised interactions so - practical, realist opinions, and harm reduction:

Saying "I'm pro-endo" is a net good, though I think "I support all systems" is probably marginally better because it doesn't perpetuate categories pushed by sysmeds for exclusionary reasons as being essential to defining systemhood - as we joked about.

Contrastingly, self-declaring "traumagenic" or "endogenic" in a bio is a net bad. Saying "I'm a traumagenic system" also says "Hello sysmeds, I believe in your dichotomy and I'm one of the good ones" (great way to get sysmed followers), and that factor doesn't go away if you go on to say that you support all systems - you've already thrown away your opportunity to shield more vulnerable systems from harassment through making who sysmeds need to target more obscure.

In fact, regardless of whether your bio says to sysmeds "I am a target" or "I'm not a target", by saying it explicitly, you're pressuring other, more vulnerable systems to similarly self-declare. It's like cis people putting pronouns in their bio to shield trans people from harassment through obscurity and embarrassment, but in reverse - if you shut up about it, and *just* call yourself a plural system, even if you do believe in their categorisations, you stop the propogation of the self-labelling and exclusionists are forced to make themselves look like idiots because most of their harassment would have to be done at random. It's basically herd immunity - nobody talks, everybody walks.

anyway yeah there's context for future, though honestly the section in plural respect is a lot more succinct lmao
