Assorted Amblings And Art

Hello and welcome! :-) We're a system of five, and we collectively go by it/its Image Description: Profile picture is of a brown skinned mermaid in a gold and green dress. Background image is of kelp gently swaying in the light.

[0-tripwire-0]

Hello! We're 0_Tripwire_0. We stream writing and Slay the Spire over on Twitch, and Omacha and I are currently working on a novel about alien mermaids.

We're 22, and am currently medicated for psychosis and OCD. We're also autistic and have some cognitive deficits. If we fail to understand please be patient. I want to be open about this in the hopes it makes people feel less alone.

We won't have a full DNI as it would be unwieldly but if you enjoy hurting animals or people please stay away. Also while we are aroace we may repost NSFW content from time to time so 18 up and only please.

Main characters for We the Brazen, the book we're currently editing.

Asran/Junara: A young diplomat in training, host to the power of a stranged God.

Clam: A kind yet bitter servant intent on murdering abusive masters.

Lumin: A curmudgeonly exile with a staunch moral compass.

Art of Asran/Junara is made by myself.

Blacklist #personal to avoid seeing our posts about our life if you'd prefer to see other stuff! I also tag eyestrain and gifs and videos as #eyestrain #gif or #video so if moving images hurt you feel free to blacklist those tags as well. I prioritise reblogging posts with alt text but will sometimes reblog undescribed images if they're really cool. Feel free to blacklist #undescribed for a better experience if you need or prefer images with descriptions.

The rotation of the earth really makes my day. That's all and have a splendid day!

Omacha here might have to go to psych ward brain not working right and struggle to think and talk and I believe things other people say are delusions and I'm feeling scared. My thoughts used to be so organised but they're a mess right now I'm scared I'll never get my brain back.

Sorry if unable contribute much here for a while can't really focus on reading well can technically read but not really understand.

I hope you are having a much better day than mine 💙

i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months

[sawed-on-shotgun]

and if anyone wants to follow suit

LIVE WALLPAPER: wallpaper engine. only thing on here that costs any money (its like 5 bucks on steam). im sure theres free alternatives but this one has a lot of presets and stuff so its less hassle and its what i use. might be a bad idea for lower end pcs tho

CUSTOM TASKBAR: retrobar on github (lots of different options)

CUSTOM CURSOR: theres a lot of places to find these, but rw-designer open cursor library is a good place to start

DISCORD: betterdiscord, im using the clearvision v7 theme with a custom background

EXTENSIONS (these are for firefox, might or might not exist on other browsers):

tabliss for the new tab theme

stylus for tumblr -> specifically the 'tumblr - custom dashboard pallette' theme for colors + bg, and this for the pre-twitterifcation layout

enhancer for youtube for custom youtube colors

the browser theme is just one i found on the firefox theme 'store'

[coredumpproject]

I agree. A computer should feel like a place you go. Your home computer should be different from your work computer. It should feel different.

Hi! So, we snooped, and we saw you recommending Bug Collector to a moot. And, it's so good! So! We just had to ask, what other music do you all enjoy? :0 If it isn't too much trouble! :D

BEST QUESTION!!!! best question :0000

for obvious plural and probably schizospec reasons, our music taste is heavily inconsistent and comes in waves. it is ALSO a special interest. and a safety interest. and a cool constant background noise that keeps us functioning. but we have a shit ton of artists that we've liked at some point, stopped liking (fronter / interested person doesnt exist atm), and keep in general rotation until someone like them fronts again

so like. most of our playlists aren't listened to right now, but they will be eventually. we liked them at some point

(our current "system" is starting to like alex g again)

collectively we all enjoy or tolerate car seat headrest, duster, aaand right now. looks like autumnwood. ? more than usual are downloaded right now

we started liking csh cause during one possibly manic cleaning session we heard "i don't want to go insane / i don't want to have schizophrenia" and at that point psychosis was HELL. and when do you ever hear schizophrenia mentioned in such a neutral lighting? like genuinely. a person. with schizophrenia, who exists and breathes and isnt some villainous caricature

i know it was literally two lines but it meant a lot to us. like a lot, twin fantasy was like oddity's entire existence, and we keep skipping beach life-in-death unless we're in psychosis

(most of our CURRENT selection is from twin fantasy, 2, 3, 4, and whatever "cosmic hero" is from. i think a recent version just came out)

[and AND!!!! all of the beach songs. beach life, beach death, beach life-in-death, beach fagz, beach funeral, and ryan north by northwest because we CAN!!!]

this. is going to be very long. whatever. that's fine.

i don't remember WHEN we found duster (some time in freshman year?) but i think we started seriously listening to them at like. either stratosphere or contemporary movement. we had like 4 playlists with a shit ton of ads and really generic titles that we'd listen to in art class, and then we learned the basslines :0 except all of them are tuned a step down and agshxhsb my tuner is brokennn

we made a painting loosely based on contemporary movement and i can't tell you WHERE our current selection is from cause half the songs from capsule losing contact are ALSO in like 5 other albums. but we also like in dreams and remote echoes and we have SOOO many duster songs downloaded.

(i offer!!! stars will fall, me and the birds, i am the king, unrecovery [for some bass related reason], aaand. let's say orbitron)

and then like. autumnwood. is one of those indie bands we found literally scrolling youtube with no general direction. that does WONDERS. fucking love this band.

unfortunate titles for loveless reasons, but STILL!!! we offer "how to say 'i love you' without making things awkward," "to whom it may concern," and "pookie / drag race" (pretty cover!!)

we SPECIFICALLY offer "do you remember my name," "i wanna ask," and "i know it's love (take my breath away)"

[OH and uhm. "i don't like your boyfriend," cover is pretty]

full honesty, we have APD. i don't know what ANY of the lyrics are. if they're about love and yearning i cannot be bothered, the guitar is pretty. stars i miss our bass. wagahfgh.

i'm gonna. skim like five more artists. cause you didn't ASK for an infodump but it's kind of obligatory.

we offer "sir duke" by stevie wonder because holy FUCK the bassline. STARS i miss our bass. have you HEARD this song????? HOLY SHIT!!!!

we offer all of the songs with horrifically long titles by "no love in the house of gold," we offer dreamcorp. because it's the only artist dissonance likes. we offer the deltarune, in stars and time, and animal crossing OSTs (specifically hypno k.k. and lets hang out stardust) cause we've been listening to them lately.

we offer "change my mind," and "skating" by alex g, and "windrag" by jack stauber cause we downloaded them yesterday :)

we offer sub urban and "talkies" by teddy hyde because elliott likes them. i personally offer destroy boys and rio romeo cause i'm both anattractional and a lesbian.

we offer "loving" by loving because what a TRAGEDY to be named that !!

we offer "skeleton appreciation day" because i remember listening to that the day after our psychotic break. we offer "dickless heart" and "not 'kidding' around" cause we can't really share that title IRL

we offer "bliss" by joel tumelty cause elfie used to listen to it

and we offer QKThr by aphex twin because that song is really important to us

enjoy :)

Okay here's my obligatory post about Tumblr users and their ignorance of rap, as a (white) fan of rap:

Saying "Not all rap music is about violence, here are alternatives" is not helpful, because the violent music ALSO has meaning.

When Biggie Smalls postures about his gang connections and packing heat, he isn't doing it because wow violence is so edgy, it's a powerful statement. Youth in urban areas where gang activity is heavy are often treated as lesser than by default, especially compared to black people the same age from a wealthy background. There's a reason that the "wholesome and respectable" black-lead entertainment of that era was stuff like the Cosby Show, with doctor-lawyer parents, or Family Matters, with a cop dad. There's a reason why the big joke of Fresh Prince is someone with a more unstable upbringing moving in with one of these model black sitcom families.

Standing up and saying yeah, I came from the mean streets, I was molded by this violence and yes, I did what I had to do to survive in a world that refuses to acknowledge my existence as meaningful or worthy of protection. I protected myself, I made my own way, and fuck anybody who tries to stand in the way of that.

Refusing to demonize that environment and wearing it like armor in a way that protects from the authority that wants you to see them as sub humans incapable of only violence and hatred, and saying HEY. I'm here, I lived this, and there is love and there is pain and there is ART in this.

That is powerful. That is the essence of gangster rap.

It isn't about hurting people for fun, it's about holding a mirror up to a society that does the hurting and then calls you a monster for what it's made you. Its about validating the experiences of the disenfranchised and biting back at authority. It's about turning a pain that the world say you deserve being one of those people from those places into POETRY. Into ART.

And thats why it matters.

And thats why you need to shut the yell up and stop dismissing it as violence without substance when you all sat on your ass listening to songs about Hatsune Miku eating people in middle school.

[positivelyqueer]

have a contentious relationship with calendars so only just realised I'm a little over 6 years post op top surgery. If i think about it more i might cry. It remains one of the best things to happen to me and perhaps the best thing I've ever done for myself. Gender affirming care saves lives. (Oh no now I'm crying trying to figure out how to end this post). I cannot describe the peace and relief of having a body that feels like your own, and one you're not afraid to grow and change in. There's still time.
