But sir, this is my emotional support imaginary world!

[bright-eyes-hope]

So that that is out of the way -

Hi, welcome to my corner of our beloved hellsite.

🦇 The internet calls me Brighteyes, my friends call me Mary.

🦇 My pronouns are they/them, she/her or it/its.

🦇 I'm a Vampire.

I don't care what you call me, roleplayer, fictionkin, delusional, it's all the same to me and inconsequential.

This is my personal main blog, where I post my outfits, things and stuff and occasional ramblings.

I reblog more fandoms than I could list here, I also occasionally share NSFW things, mostly stories, to support the creators. They're always tagged as such so you can avoid them easily.

I strongly believe that everyone is responsible for their own online experience, it's not my job to tell you not to follow me if you're a minor, nor am I obliged to believe you if you say you aren't.

I'm from a generation that grew up with the credo of not sharing personal info online, especially not real names, age and location.

"Ageless blogs don't interact"? Fine, I'm 132 years old. 🦇

"I need to know what you were assigned at birth." An Apgar of 1 or 2, can't remember.

Generally likes are appreciated, reblogs are encouraged.

If I see you repost tho, you will be blocked.

I try to tag stuff properly, feel free to message me with any inquiries.

That being said, I don't believe in censorship. For reasons that should be obvious. Here's another example.

I also want to emphasise that I stand with the weirdos.

All my beloved freaks out there, big and small, I love you.

Stay scary!

In honor of one whopper of a Sonoran monsoon season, got any neat and strange monsoon season creatures?

Well, the first thing that comes to mind are the various "rain frogs" around the world...

Purple Frog (Nasikabatrachus sahyadrensis), female, family Nasikabatrachidae, endemic to the Western Ghats of India

Adult frog described in 2003, though the juvenile frog was described in 1917. (Though, of course, the adult frog was known by local people).

This frog spends most of its life underground, and emerges to mate during monsoon rains.

Unlike many burrowing frogs, which emerge to feed above ground, this species feeds on termites underground (as well as feeding above).

Crucifix Toad aka Holy Cross Frog (Notaden bennettii), male, family Limnodynastidae, New South Wales, Australia

[bright-eyes-hope]

Kinda ... Not one that I made up entirely myself but I frequently imagined a character from some media that I liked hanging out with me and played pretend by myself with them and stuff. Does that count?

I let Orion hold Glowbug to sleep and they're too cute I can't take it ;-;

Glowbug glows in the dark, so every time I turn off the light i can just see him softly glowing next to my pillow.

Orion actually held him so tight that when i absentmindedly picked him up at some point in the night, Glowbug came with him 😭🩷

when i say “the future is plural”, i mean that i’m optimistic that there will be more education available for all forms of plurality (non-disordered & disordered & all forms regardless of origin) and that there will be more visibility for us as well as greater social understanding in the years to come. i’m hopeful for a future where none of us have to experience shame for the sole factor of being more than one and that the desire to be plural or the desire to create headmates wouldn’t be looked at as “strange” or “odd” and where society doesn’t demonize us, i hope there will be a day where saying “i’m currently watching a movie with the others who share my body” wouldn’t sound weird to other people or “i love the other people in my body.” maybe plurality is all about love, it is for me atleast and i wish it was like that for everyone. it always does break my heart when i see other people view their plurality with such disgust and shame. for us personally, we used to see it that way until we realized that our headmates have kept us alive our entire lives and that’s something we consider beautiful.

i hope that there also be a day within the plural community that something as a self identification label doesn’t determine the validity of your experience and you and your headmates worth as people

I love my partners, all 18 of them. 🖤💜💚🤍

i know this has been said before but the progressive language around gender that i've experienced in my lifetime has undergone such a radical shift. Because my grandmother is a lesbian I'm like older than my years in gay years but when I was little it was like 'gender is a system of social categorisation that says NOTHING about you on the inside.' It's pronouns and other people's expectations but it doesn't mean anything about feelings. It doesn't need to determine how you dress or talk or your interests or hobbies or where you want to work or what you can do or who you can relate to or be friends with or connect with and those things are personal and should be shaped by your values and how you're feeling right then.

and now i walk into theoretically progressive spaces and it's like well you can pick your gender but it means everything about you so select the right one and stick to all of its rules. now do you like she/her and girl math and not walking alone at night and expecting someone else to take care of you? you can pick nonbinary but then you gotta be flat chested and use power tools. and if you pick he/him get ready to get more strict about gender roles than a boomer grandpa, you have to take the garbage out. hey you picked the pronoun, you gotta live with all the strictures, those are the rules for some reason. some really wild spaces accept the concept of genderfluid, which now means going into each of those modes depending on task. 'im in man mode time to mow the lawn.'

My WARBLERS OF NORTH AMERICA poster is finally finished & signed copies are available in my Etsy shop!

jadafitch.etsy.com

The 18 x 24 inch art print showcases males & females of all 59 species of wood-warblers most commonly found across the continent. From Hermit Warblers out west, to Northern Parulas in the east, all the tiny rare feathered gems in between, and a few South & Central American species that make occasional stops across the border.

Each bird was lovingly painted in watercolor and depicted in its spring plumage. The pairs of birds are numbered, with corresponding common and scientific names listed at the bottom of the poster for easy reference.

Available on both dark & light backgrounds.

A perfect gift for birders, naturalists, and anyone who enjoys the wild outdoors.

Pro-censorship wattpad refugees drama is so funny to me because when I started using ao3 as a kid I was a devout mormon and I thought that reading anything even remotely pornagraphic was a sin and would ruin my life. So when I was 13 and found ao3 I went "oh awesome I found a fanfic website with a filtering system so I won't ever randomly stumble into porn. This is great! I was really worried about seeing something I didn't want to see on the other platforms." I didn't read any smut online until like three years later. If a mormon 13 year old can figure out 'don't like don't read' wattpad users can too cmon you guys i believe in you.
