This was an interesting read, and I particularly want to highlight this comment by Marta:

I also recently did a set of workshops in DDS about so-called “executive functioning” skills, noting, as you have, that they are really only compulsory for people with less power in a relationship — I’m expected to be on time, but my doctor, for whom I wait sometimes hours in a nightmare of a waiting room, is not. Also, anyone who can hire someone to do their executive functioning for them, or better yet get it done free by a spouse or family member (usually a wife or mother), isn’t required to have these “skills” and can be freed up to go make art or design things in non-linear, iterative ways.

sometimes when i'm feeling the severance withdrawals a bit too much i entertain myself by thinking of devon explaining to ricken how gemma is Actually Alive and his immediate reaction being "oh my god... my book... it's outdated".

[randomfansstuff]

i also wanna just mention the probably most obvious metaphor in dark heir and rise. the hair lengths.

sarcean and anharion both being described as having really long hair. hair holding memories. both james and will having short cut hair. james having slightly longer hair than will since he's been aware of his circumstance for longer.

will's hair growing longer in italy, when they're close to the old palace and his past. hair holds memories.

their distance to their past being symbolised by how long their hair it.

So I hc Tory as a great photographer, and that means:

She took those pictures.

severance yuri/femslash fanfic recs

i've been seeing other severance fic rec posts so i'm posting my own! omitting tags to save space so please make sure to check them before reading! fics with an asterisk are ao3 locked <3

The Stone by @whoreiorcats, Gemma/Helena, 19.9k words (in progress), Explicit

Gemma has escaped, but Mark is left behind. She finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very woman who has kept them both prisoner. Lots of food is eaten.

Knife At My Throat by @gemmafuckingscout (me!), Gemma/Helena, 10k words (in progress), Explicit

A year after the season 2 finale, Helena and Gemma are still picking up the pieces of their life. But when Gemma unknowingly matches with Helena on a dating app, things couldn’t possibly end well.

buzzcut season* by @ohwhatagloomyshow, Gemma/Helena, 4.9k words (complete), Explicit

The first thing she does exclusively for herself is buy a pair of clippers with Ricken’s credit card and give herself a buzz cut. Helly R. pushed Mark S. out of the hallway, into the waiting arms of his wife. What does that mean for Gemma? Post S2E10, Gemma tries to come to terms with her new freedom and the family that fell apart without her. That also means coming to terms with Helena Eagan.

i never sought to love you* by @ohwhatagloomyshow, Gemma/Helena, 4.6k words (in progress), Mature

Pre-canon, the fall before Gemma's disappearance - a year after their last IVF treatment, Gemma decides to pop into a local perinatal loss support group on a whim. There she meets Helly Riggs, a beautiful and equally awkward outsider who listens to her and sees her in a way Mark hasn't in a long time. Helena's motive for meeting Gemma becomes complicated as she wrestles with her duty to Lumon and her father vs. her first sincerely intimate relationship.

A Phoenix & Doves by @spareham, Gemma/Devon, 17k words (complete), Explicit

Gemma pushed her hands down over her own hips where the fabric hugged them, thanks to the clips at her back, hidden from her view. She'd be lying if she said she'd never dreamed of becoming a bride… just never this kind. So white. Red-less. Her fingers trailed over her stomach, picking at the border, the hem. She couldn’t ride a horse in this. She chuckled to herself, instead. [uh oh! pre-lumon gemdev o clock!]

no grave can hold my body down (i’ll crawl home to her) by fivemillioneyes, Gemma/Devon, 2.2k words (complete), Explicit

This is the only control Devon can give her.

and when you think about me by @sapphichaze, Gemma/Devon, 3.6k words (complete), Teen

“What would you teach?” Gemma asked as she sat down on a chair, gesturing for Devon to sit next to her. She seemed genuinely interested. “Probably, like, how to survive a zombie apocalypse.” Devon sat down. “You know, useful stuff.” “Now who’s the nerd?” Gemma said with a small grin on her lips. Devon shoved their shoulders together, feeling the heat even through the fabric.

Control by @spareham, Gemma/Devon, 1k words (complete), Explicit

Gemma's regaining control, Devon's helping.

Not on Your Own by @sapphichaze, Ms. Casey/Helly, 1.3k words (complete), General

“You look like you need some help, so, maybe, uh,” Helly squeezes her eyes together, regretting the words almost as soon as they leave her mouth, “I could do a wellness session on you, instead?”

try to remember, try to forget (but you'll never be the same) by Shadowcrawler, Ms. Casey/Helly, 1.6k words (complete), Explicit

Ms. Casey offers to help Helly R. out with something. prompt: Helly R./Ms. Casey, first time, cunnilingus

The Fifth Temper by virtuousweisz, Cobel/Hellyna, Ms. Casey/Helly, 68k words (in progress), Explicit

Harmony Cobel takes an interest in Helly R., whose outie is more than willing to abuse her power in every conceivable way to tame these erratic and debauched behaviours.

What are your alien ocs thoughts on eating corn?

here's all my opinionated aliens! thank you for the question, it was very fun :) text transcript under the cut

YIEL: Um... I can't eat <nervous> but I wish I could. Apparently GAR'S old enough to have eaten before, he says it's nothing special but I think he's just never had anything good <skeptical>

LADY: I had corn once and, um... clogged the toilet. I'm sure your Earth exports are lovely, I just can't handle so much fiber.

GUNNELL: Ho-ho, corn? That's exotic exotic. I've had it before and I like the taste but I wouldn't eat it as part of a home meal.

THE PIRATE: Well maybe I'd have an answer for you if I could get my talons on anything other than NUTRIENT PASTE

CIPRIAN: Man, you can eat people for all I care, just clean up after yourself and we're cool.

STELLA: ...Bro

IUWAU: I HATE CORN. I don't even have anything against the taste, but the sound of someone eating it makes me want to leap out of my skin.

MOLLIMAR: Tastes okay, but pretty much everything tastes similar to me. I'll shamelessly piggyback off of Devon's opinion and say it's great.

BYZOW: It is unlike anything on my home planet! I like it. The taste is not good to me but the appearance is so funny.

PHIER-KEL: I love corn. I'm #1 corn warrior. Corn fears me. I'm the bane of corn. I love it so much, I have a t-shirt about it. The day I die is the day 70% more corn becomes available on the market. Corn. 4. Life. (He talks like this about all food he likes.)

DEVON: I'm no alien, but I'm out here for team corn.

A Re-Introduction

Hi!

So, as you guys can see, I changed my username over here from lola-theshowgrl to devon-chestnut, and I wanted to talk a little bit about my decision, and I guess, kind of out myself while I'm at it!

Let's get into the gay stuff, first! Most of you know I've always described myself as "queer" and that's largely to save time explaining all the ins and outs of my sexuality. Those of you I've spoken about it with in any depth will know me to be demisexual and bisexual, which honestly has always made sense in my head, but what it also means can be summed up with how I explain it to hets when they ask: "Gender means literally nothing to me".

A part of me has always felt a little strange about my femininity -like it's a costume I put on- and I assumed that was how everyone felt, then later blamed on my autism. I am a woman like a tomato is a fruit; yes, on paper, that's technically correct, but also... well. You wouldn't put tomato in a fruit salad, would you?

The thing is folks, I'm intersex. I never gave it a lot of thought, because it wasn't something I ever talked about - none of my family talked about it, (it was treated sort of shamefully? Which is why talking openly like this is really difficult tbh) and surgery I underwent happened when I was very young. Too young, probably. It's only with this bigotry about toilets and people being challenged and attacked that has brought it more to the forefront of my mind.

I'm afab technically, but I've been thinking about my gender more and more now I'm friends with other folks who are gender-nonconforming. I feel more accepted to question my assumptions, and also more afraid because of how the world is zeroing in on us. I can't pretend any longer to be something I'm not.

I've "come out" many, many times, to lots of different people, and in lots of different ways, and now I've come to this understanding of myself, I can't stand to be back in the closet again. So, here I am, on near enough the eve of pride month, to let you, my friends, know that I'm officially gender-fluid, and exploring. I would really appreciate if you would use the pronouns they/them for me going forward, and the name Devon.

Now onto writer stuff! I chose the name Devon partly because it's my favourite county in the UK (it's frikkin beautiful! If you get the chance to visit, you absolutely should!) and also because it's gender-neutral. I chose the surname "Chestnut" because the "Conkers" username has become so very dear to me the past three years, and I wanted to give a nod to that.

There are a lot of reasons to use a pen name, and while I don't ever expect to become super famous or whatever, this just suits me a bit better. Also... Devon Chestnut?? It sounds like I live in an old tree stump, sleep on a bed of moss, and wear a mushroom for a hat, and that honestly suits me down to the ground, haha!

Anyway. Thanks for reading all this! HMU if you have any questions, and sorry if this is a bit all over the place - I got emotional more than once writing it, so it might be a bit choppy!

Love you, guys!

~ Devon 💛

[omegastation]

gonna be real vulnerable with you all, i've just been diagnosed as autistic. i won't make more posts about it, just making this one to ask if any of you are in the same situation and maybe have resources to share?

i'm diagnosed just now as a 35 years old woman who has a demanding job and is struggling a bit to keep up with it, so it's not an entire shock to me but i still feel a bit lost. i think i've been masking my entire life and the energy is just not there anymore

i don't know what to read, what to check, what can help and also, what not to read or check.

any help would be appreciated! (and you can message me if you'd rather not answer here.) thank you
