my names rosie :) im 30, a femme dyke married to @erectilereptile, who has utterly no social media presence 💞 i lost my pronouns in the war. RIP. feminism will win!
i reblog everything other than beauty over at @z37q, and you can find pics of me in my #selfies tag. and reblog anything as you please!
i like to post news headlines as briefly and immediately as possible! i aim for within 1 minute of the event happening, and if i just post a persons name it means they died.
more about me under the cut :)
ive been @erectilereptile's femme since june 2010, my one and only! 🥰 we live in baltimore with a cat named baby (short for babylonian king nebuchadnezzar ii) and a dog named GOAT (short for greatest of all time). we got married on may 27, 2022 😍🥰🥹
ive been a buddhist of tibetan tradition since 2012, of which im very very critical, but i like to trip and fall all over the path so nowadays im more of a practicing mystic, whatever you may think that means.

Intent
... this blog ultimately serves as an art project, a demonstration or performance of self. writing from the trenches of simulacra and representational engineering, this profile sets out to problematize the self as we know it in its dualities -- inside and out, here and there, then and now, true or... not. as you scroll youll find an inventory of the artist's karmic reception, synthesis, and reproduction as per life's conditions in only their most selective and mundane ways.
the stylistic methodology of this blog's rhetorical endeavors is in conversation with Butler's exploration of performativity theory, Baudrillard's application of modern simulacra, Deleuze's expansion of post-structural subjection, and classic Madhyamaka-lineage interrogation of the absolute of our absolutes.
discursively crystallizing an immanent critique of the 21st-century hegemonic cultural form, this blog acts as a catalog of the floes and residues of truth and authenticity: synthesizing into this socio-cultural sandbox of karmic projection (a) the parasocial nature or relationship between its commodified medium and personal connection, (b) a pattern of stylistic and indiscernibly indirect reactions to internalized environmental conditions, and (c) a voyeuristic representation of biographical intimacy. the truth will never be apparent, its up to you to discern and dissolve it.
i genuinely believe echoes of wisdom has the most effective mechanical innovation of the series... an incredible undertaking in thematic shift akin to twilight princess but even more so bcuz it has to tell an entirely different side of the story while constrained to the same gameplay loop. the problem solving unique to the triforce of wisdom archetype makes the quaint worlds conflict just so much more like personally or umm socially? engaging.
it has the same action and divine ancient powerup stuff PLUS an obligatory and personal involvement in deception and relationships and grief and love because zelda is enmeshed in the worlds & the peoples history & context compared to links 'some rando once-in-a-millennium nobody foreigner' archetype.
i wouldnt say its necessarily 'feminist' because zelda is still restricted by gender roles and the family and 'women are social, men are physical' shit but it does explicitly value the things that conventionally denigrated traits that define normative womanhood, so whatever i guess? like its great because it shows a different side of 'resolution' in hyrule. dgmw link solves plenty of personal problems but theyre still simpler than the character exploration mini arcs of each side quest in echoes of wisdom. but i still resent that zelda is still 'social harmony' based.
lowkey blending in as link for the first half of the story is a good critique. only vigilante men can fix things, yknow, and, despite the royal rational, ultimately its just that women cant be too strong or powerful. but its rly frustrating that the one physical augmentation, in contrast to the usual puppeteering or incidental / contrived damage & defense, relies on borrowing links power to the point of literally donning a talisman of his immaculate strength. also frustrating that, like botw, zeldas magical abilities are crisis-exclusive. bye hylia, bye tri. losing navi is nothing compared to the revocation of divine sanction. why must zelda always borrow power? is her only strength in her passive background fulfillment of her role in the cycle?
regardless, the more complex and widespread social conflicts rly complement the... lets say circuitous foundational-ability-based overworld encounters and objective completion. or maybe vice versa, whatever its just a well-blended recursion. im obsessed with the collection -> powerup / upgrade loop, i adore the smoothies because it finds the happy medium between complicatedness and effectiveness even tho it just feels like 'female diet' bullshit, empowering equipment divided 'femininely' between 'accessories' and 'outfits' thatre still rly rly good and useful equips with a fun expansive selection. mini games, trading quests... the whole shebang.
like ill just be browsing the internet and somehow i turn literally anything that i want to research into a self harm rabbit hole because as i said i see it everywhere
i don't rly talk abt it anymore but my dissociation has gotten significantly worse lately like over the pastttttt half year max i think but more specifically the past month or two ive been getting triggered and dissociating for days on end and the like latent dissociation is back tooooo which sucks big time but no matter what i do i cant seem to avoid the trigger and then i obsess over it in progressively more painful ways which is probably why i dissociate but like what do i doooo because unfortunately tumblr is where im triggered like 75% of the time and then i just carry it with me and see it everywhere
