Hiya y'all, I'm the one and only Analogue-Dragon, we're plural, collective names are Orchid and Nightshade with any pronouns except it/its (though some of our parts do use it/it's!)
My Tumblr family includes my amazing digital siblings @ajolteonnamedsparky and @the-mycelial-court
See below for the rest of my intro or (link to plaintext/no graphics version coming soon!). Warning for blinkies/mild flashing at the end just after the links section
Labels and who we are and shit
Intro writen by Orchid, and so that is who I/me refers to in this post. Collectively we are genderfluid and abrosexual and queer in every direction.

We're not great at tagging so if a post doesn't have one of our tags we either forgot or thought it wasn't relevant. You're allowed to assume it's me when you don't know whose fronting. We use I/me and we/us interchangeably. We don't mind how you refer to us so you/y'all/you& get creative if you wanna. Our preferred terminology is plural and part, though we sometimes use system and headmate to refer to ourselves so we won't go crazy if you use either or.
No DNI and I block freely but here are some rent lowering gunshots:
Censorship is bad, ICE is bad, being queer is cool, all yes all system origins are valid, trans men do face their own unique oppression it comes free with your being transgender. I block radqueers on sight.

Anyway fellow phone users if you use Tumblr through the website and not the app then you can have up to 30 images in a post like me
sometimes i have strong opinions but they're also so inane that halfway through writing a post i'll be like "yeah, this is Absolutely not worth the energy it's taking" and delete everything. but then the opinion is still in my head. and i still want to share it. so within five minutes i go "you know, i bet i can phrase it more succinctly this time" and anyway. you all see where this is going. sometimes i do this four times in a row before i give up on the specific inane opinion and instead write a vague post about the concept of opinions as if that'll satisfy the urge to post the entirety of my inner monologue online. may or may not be relevant to what you're reading right now. and now all our lives have been enriched. you're welcome
You could try Gatorade or another drink like that. If you have something like a bouillon then you could also make up some broth to drink and that's also easy nutrients!
If nothing else, you could get some easy salt from pickles or chips perhaps
Neil Gaiman is not a bad writer. He IS a human trafficker and rapist.
JK Rowling is not a bad writer. She IS a dangerous bigot who devotes her substantial resources towards making life unlivable for trans people.
Hans Zimmer is not a bad composer. He IS a man who decided JKRās actions were not a dealbreaker if it meant money in his pocket.
People on this site have already expounded on the danger of conflating talent and morality.
It is always more important to explain that A) this Artist represents a clear and present danger, abused their platform and money, and must be boycotted to keep others safe than B) this Artist is bad at art
If youāre caught up in spending time trying to convince others of B, youāre wasting time and energy as well as diverting othersā attention from point A.
Or worse! If someone did not find B to be true, they might question the validity of A!
Similarly, āBut itās so good though!ā Wonāt ever erase the fact of A. Please for the love of God donāt give these fuckers any more money
got annoyed trying to make a flags icon for Astryx (because there's no fandom specific your-fave-is blogs for Ledgends and Lattes and the no specific fandom your-fave-is-queer blogs in finding are all inactive) so I low key might just wait till next year's April fools for it and get the icon from your-favorite-wof-dragon-is if they're still planning on doing non-wof-dragons for April fools
Okay so that scene in Jax's mind was incredibly plural-coded, right? We see multiple of her who act slightly differently and one's eyes look different ect
I plan on drawing what I have dubbed the Jax collective after the episode is officially out so I can reference the different Jax-es as I draw
So there three at the table, one chained to the piano, and the "true" Jax behind the door, maybe some more if I also include the Jax-es through the doors with the choking Pomni and ect. Also, once she gets de-abstracted, I think there's good angst potential with her splitting an abstraction headmate. I will be writing this
Anyway to continue with my projection: I think she's mixed origins tramaendo, splitting at first at some point when she's young but her headmates don't get more distinct and noticable until later on, after entering the circus and what happened right before she did, moreso once she realizes she's plural too, going from median to multiple.
Once she realizes she's plural, is when they start getting distinct appearances in headspace.
Now I have a headcannon that one of her headmates is transmasc, because I Feel Like It and because that would make things more confusing for her. And that's interesting. I've assigned this role to the chained to the piano Jax, who will look more like Evil Jax in headspace once they start getting distinct, and he's the one who keeps the Jax name
The Jax behind the door, core-jax if you will, gets the body's appearce, that being, in my fic, her new avatar with lop ears, eyeliner, and a dress, though in headspace she doesn't have the abstraction scars I give her, and takes the name Daisy.
Maid dress Jax doesn't actually have a changed appearance in the headspace, she's already made herself distinct with the dress. I give her the name Jaz.
There's a design I saw and really like (link here) that I have only just found out, upon scrolling the person's blog, that this version was actually from a pride special and she gets her flag colors, but I still like the pallet on this so I'm keeping it as is. This goes to cross-eyed Jax im thinking
The third Jax at the table is gonna get the popular fan design, that being either shorts-overalls or overalls with baggy legs, and a yellow off the shoulder shirt under them. I'm still deciding weather she gets the lop ears too or not
Designs might be swapped between the last too though. I need to get my eyes on that scene again. I'm also unsure what name I will be giving those last two, perhaps whichever ends up with the blue will be named Jasmine.
The abstraction headmate is nonverbl and named Abby.
Thereās an episode of Sesame Street (on Netflix! you can watch it easily!) where Elmo attends a toy-swap, where you offer up old toys you donāt play with anymore and receive someone elseās toys that are new to you. Cute!
But Elmo, after cheerfully surrendering his old toys, sees that the children who swapped toys with him are playing with his toys āwrongā! Theyāre imagining entirely different make believe scenarios! Theyāre pretending the football is a dinosaur egg instead of a rocket ship! Aaahhhhh!!!! And this is so distressing to poor Elmo that he does the unthinkable: He does swapsies-backsies and takes all his toys back!
This being Sesame Street, he learns that you canāt control how other people play pretend, but you can join in if you want to! And if you donāt want to, thatās ok, you can just play pretend your own way by yourself or with someone else who wants to play that way too. You can still be friends with people who play pretend differently than you (and arenāt being mean/harmful/etc, do not bad-faith-read this š¤Ø).
I would give anything to look the way sick people are supposed to look.
For the concerned reader, you don't need to worry about me doing anything to myself. I'm just very good at being sad and pathetic and making concerning posts, and that is all.
