a 3 to 4a* reminder because I need to remember this again:

(* my time zone is Pacific; SW WA, USA)

You cannot save the world alone. You cannot overthrow a corrupt government alone.

Resistance, revolution—there are individual acts we can take to further these, but they are won through community effort.

You should not be expected to solve all the world’s problems alone, and it’s not even possible to do all of this alone.

Progress follows the loudest voices. Change bends to the largest communities.

This can mean the angry, cruel people are in control. It can also mean the compassionate people are in control, if they’re willing to speak up & keep fighting en masse.

But again, communities and voices, not one person fixing it all.

You are not bad, a failure, or in any way at fault for current world events or family drama or anything else you want to resolve right now.

It takes a village, not a vigilante. In this case, it takes an overall-united social movement, not a dissenting voice.

One voice is (unfortunately) too easy to silence. One voice will need time to rest and reignite the fire between battles.

No matter how loud you scream, or for how long, you will not solve everything alone. Worldly issues, country/nation-state level issues, even city or neighbourhood issues...anything impacting a community requires community cooperation, and intersectional support.

All this to say, let yourself breathe. Let yourself rest. The news is terrifying right now for many of us*.

(* the AfD in Germany, the current extremist administration in the USA, the reignited brutality in Palestine, just to call out a few examples that are stressing me out)

You are not alone, nor should you be expected to be alone. (Even if you are alone in person, you are not alone in the world or on the internet.)

The guilt/shame, the instinct/feeling to stop all the conflict & protect others, these are valid. You are allowed to feel overwhelmed, to feel panicked, to be/feel hypervigilant. It’s valid that you are struggling with the state of things.

But the narrative that was imposed on you to fix it all is crippling and pointless. That narrative doesn’t treat you like a sentient person, nor does it realistically lead to progress.

Be an ally and a community member; don’t try to be a vigilante.

If we compare resistance/revolution to a choir/choral group, the song doesn’t end if you pause to breathe (other voices will still be heard around you), nor does it conclude because you sing so long/loud that you faint from lack of air.

Joy and rest are revolutionary too. Seek and embrace these; they will keep you in the fight.

Sleep, take a shower/bath, do a face mask. Frolick in a field, visit your favourite nature reserve/park, meet up with friends. Do something accessible and affordable to recharge/have fun. Sleep, play, educate (yourself & others), persist.

The choirs of change will keep singing, and will be there when you are ready to join us again.

I wanna share a trans/nonbinary tidbit about abortion protestors, Planned Parenthood, & starting to “pass” as a man, inspired by this. It was silly in real time, despite the wild (/neg) ideology behind it.

I went to Planned Parenthood for HRT because they do informed consent. We did all the paperwork stuff for insurance & whatnot & got approved. That was back in May of 2023.

I did not pass at the time, not by their standards. (That “body weight distribution” change from HRT is no joke.) But I did my check-in for HRT there, roughly once a month for the first 6 months (I bumped the dose up whenever allowed, which requires a one month check-in), then every 3 months from there. (¡I am now approaching year two! ☺)

For the first nine months (coincidental alignment with pregnancy “clock”), they were horrified/frantic every time they saw me, trying to wave me down & tell me that the Lady of Life* wanted My Baby™ to live.

(* very important to them; this is the most common denomination of xtian protestors at this particular clinic location)

Every time I just gave them a baffled smile & walked to the door.

Finally, after the 3-month gap to month nine, I began to “pass”. They saw me walk towards the doors, no longer identifiably trans / no longer perceived as a “woman” by their standards.

And they glitched—I watched them blink fast several times, tilt their head, look to eachother, etc. as I walk up to the door and ring the bell (clinic added it for covid).

I don’t know if they concluded I must be a trans woman, or couldn’t comprehend why a “man”* would be at this clinic. What I do know is they left before I came out, about 40 minutes later. This was a very new, very funny development.

(* I’m actually nonbinary/genderqueer)

But the shift was undeniable & ridiculous*.

(* using “ridiculous” with both its silly & judgemental connotations)

I still think its the funniest shit ever that when I used to volunteer at planned parenthood every week even though I walked past mostly the same protesters every single time they were begging me not to get an abortion theres other options yadda yadda. Like meemaw you see me here every week. They call me abortions georg because I get another one every Monday at 8am

Secret and Ghost for Helios? :3

We're tormenting the boyo, I see hehe :3

Secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?

He's not a very secretive person but there are things he'd rather not talk about. His past, for example. Chances are that if one asked him about it, he would try to change the subject or distract from the topic if possible.

The human rescue team was the first to interrogate him on his past and while he wasn't keen on reliving memories he has buried in the deepest part of his mind, he did tell them enough to satisfy their curiosity.

The first Cybertronian who asked for his background (for safety reasons) was Nightjet. As the head of security, it's his job to be informed about everyone on the ship. Their newest crewmember can't be found on any database, courtesy of Proteus who didn't want his security personnel to be identified by anyone. They weren't real citizens of Cybertron in his eyes and as far as the government was concerned, they never even existed.

He doesn't spend enough time with Ironwing to open up about this particular part of his past and Iwy never asks.

Ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

His guilt for letting his brother die. 'Letting' should be in quotation marks because he believes it's his fault for not stepping in to intercept the shot that killed Aegis. Now he thinks he's hallucinating, as Aegis keeps showing up in his visual feed for a second and when he looks again, he's usually gone. Sometimes, he thinks his brother wants to tell him something, his mouth is moving but no words are coming out.

Until the supposed hallucination lingers one day. Helios approaches what he thinks is his brother's ghost. It doesn't budge, it doesn't react, it stays still in the shadows of the Stellar Observatory's darkest part until it disappears. The next time it happens, it speaks to him and tells him everything he doesn't want to hear.

After this encounter he is quite shaken and holes himself up in his cabin for a while. He has to get up for his next shift though and so he leaves the safety of his room and doesn't tell anyone at first. Of course. I mean, why would he.

He's scared of something he can't explain yet. Unknowingly to him, the hallucination changed its behavior shortly after Firecry's crew came on board.

Helios doesn't know Carbonlight has caught up to the crew they betrayed just to mess with their processors before the final confrontation against the shapeshifter and their starformers.

If Plouton is the better version, then Sarapis, who's photo come out first on Hades' wiki page, is the best version. As the master of universe, king of dead, god of healing and other useful power, Sarapis is often seen alongside a three-headed dog and wear a cool crown.

He remains devoted to his wife and has never been involved in any kidnapping drama. One of my favorite images of Sarapis shows him and Isis deeply immersed in a kiss.(x) The only "issue" is that he and Isis might be siblings. Osiris is well-known to be Isis's brother, but the details regarding Sarapis are rather vague. (Maybe I just missed it, I can't remember any sources about it.)

The other one of my favorite(X), Helios embrace Sarapis and kiss him passionately,while Sarapis seems quite nervous.🤣 An interesting related story is as below:

There was a tiny window so orientated toward the direction of sunrise that on the day appointed for the statue of the sun to be carried in to greet Serapis, careful observation of the seasons had ensured that as the statue was entering, a ray of sunlight coming through this window would light up the mouth and lips of Serapis, so that to the people looking on it would seem as though the sun was greeting Serapis with a kiss.(X)

Many Greek/Roman authors identify Sarapis with Plouton or Hades, but also Zeus, Dionysus, Asclepius and others. I am not suggesting that image of Sarapis should not be called Hades, but it's important to recognize both their similarities and differences.
