On A Scale Of 1 To DSM-5

I am 27 ✡️

[axolotov]

Intro post

Things about me:

I’m 27 and I live in the Midwest. I care a lot about Midwest things like corn and going up north and complaining about being cold. I live off of canned corn and hot dogs. My profile picture is my orange cat Finnegan on top of do androids dream of electric sheep book.

Things I like (and I love talking about!!!!)

Elden ring, Judiasm, learning how to crochet, supposedly maybe geology. Give me a good book to think about reading before adding it to my long to be read list. Panopticon architecture, political science. Watching 90s gay crime movies. Twin peaks.

Fandoms I really enjoy and post a lot of:

Disco elysium, the Magnus archives, Elden ring and bloodborne. Mob psycho 100, twin peaks.

I write fanfiction and post on ao3, feel free to ask for that in Dms. Very anti censorship.

the great thing about the wuxia genre is you can start a sect called the Evil Blood Cult in a place called Demon Mountain that’s a volcano full of poison and you all wear crazy gothic black and red hanfu and practice Sinister Backstabber Style kung fu and like. that’s not a deterrent to prospective disciples. do all that and a fuckton of bright eyed youngsters will still show up at your door and say hello i would like to join the demon mountain evil blood cult where do i sign up?

I planted ten little pawpaw trees today

Pawpaws are a Michigan native fruit that looks like it should not be a Michigan native fruit.

I'm told that it has the consistency of avocado, but tastes like a combination of banana, pineapple, and mango, with and earthy aftertaste. They are EXTREMELY delicate fruits, such that they are not really shipped anywhere- to eat them you have to find someplace local that has trees, or have trees, yourself.

I've always wanted to try them, so, I bought a few saplings, and spent a couple hours tonight planting them. They won't fruit for another 5 years at least. Each hole dug, each rootball excavated from its pot, each circle of mulch around the base of them... that's hope. That's a promise to be here 5 years from now, to see them flower, to pull sweet fruit from the limbs and try it for the first time.

A lot can happen in 5 years. But, I hope that you'll be here, too, to see how it turns out.

I confess I'd only ever heard of the paw-paw fruit from "The Bare Necessities" in Disney's "The Jungle Book" so had always thought it was native to somewhere in or around India... UNTIL NOW!

Now when you pick a paw-paw or a prickly pear And you prick a raw paw, well, next time beware Don't pick the prickly pear by the paw When you pick a pear try to use the claw But you don't need to use the claw When you pick a pear of the big paw-paw

You mean Baloo was either lying, or eating imported fruit?

Is NOTHING sacred?!?

[kedreeva]

Welllllll it's more likely he means pawpaw/papaw as in papaya (as pawpaw is another name for papaya), but it does get a bit confusing, since prickly pears are also only native to the Americas, particularly Mexico and South America, just like papaya

BUT they've both been in India for centuries, so it's entirely possible they are out there growing wild as invasive species.

[axolotov]

Where did you buy the saplings from?

It's not finished but I painted this last year 🕎💛

[tonyzaret]

Yobbas (Yoda X Jabba shippers) are literally the most delusional members of the Star Wars fandom, and I say this as someone who used to ship them HARD before I got preoccupied with my divorce proceedings

I have an original signed copy of the communist manifesto and marx wrote a note at the front saying that he hopes people use this text to be racist on the internet and divide as many people as possible. He also said that RPF is okay.

shipping a consensual, safe & sane pairing all the while i'm shaking my head in disapproval so the audience knows i still love wildly toxic abusive fictional dynamics

imagine you're Plato and you get resurrected and the first thing someone tells you is your name now means "not having sex" and you're like haha linguistic coincidences are wild and they're like no it's a direct reference to you as a person

there is only one white boy in the movie project hail mary. 90 seconds into trawling the tag on here i learn that the fandom's solution to the terrible problem of not having two white boys to ship together is to ship him with the markiplier character from the iron lung movie. markiplier. they're shipping him with markiplier. with markiplier. markiplier. markiplier. they're shipping him with markiplier.

[toasthaste]

I need to be clear. this isn't one or two posts that I'm cherry picking. I did my due diligence. I checked. it is a very visible significant portion of the project hail mary tag. I have seen substantially more of it in the tag than I have seen Anything in there depicting either of the other human characters (white woman, black man) in project hail mary, in any capacity. im going to do a harm to someone.

[toasthaste]

it is upwards of 50% of the tag I think. I am thinking about the many justifications so often made for why fandom tends to focus so hard on characters of a certain demographic at the expense of characters from any other demographic. I am thinking about that very much. and I am biting.
