ALL IS NOT WELL. MOST IS NOT WELL.

hi i'm Aith / Chimera (adult, they/them) and sometimes i talk a whooooole lot

watch “Sometimes,” my precanon Siffrin animatic!!! on tumblr and youtube!!

and read Drowning and Burning & Alone Together, aka my fics about Mirabelle, Siffrin, and aromanticism :)

this blog is not exclusively dedicated to In Stars and Time, but it's functionally an isat blog for the foreseeable future. you'll also see Dungeon Meshi and Murderbot, among other things.

it's also technically a sideblog (though functionally my main), so likes/follows come from aithuzah, not chimerafeathers.

i'm working on my first animatic (Siffrin and Mirabelle centric, set to Ship in a Bottle by Fin Argus) and i won't shut up about it. you can follow progress and see wips/"finished" pieces here: #adventures in animatics

PSYCH i took a break from that animatic and finished an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ANIMATIC about precanon Siffrin, set to "Sometimes" by the Noisettes. also linked above, you can watch it on tumblr or youtube, and read behind-the-scenes rambling about it here.

post hall of fame: Mirabelle FQ in Act 5 (meta) | Mirabelle's segment in the MDP fight (meta) | playful Odile (meta) | "So you should just accept it!" (art) | Siffrin under the stars + SiaB lyrics (art) | gore buddies (comic) | aromantic Siffrin and crushes (meta) (okay this one never got as much attention as the others here but it's a personal favorite alongside the Mira ones)

i've rambled a ton about isat beyond what's linked here, so i made a meta directory for easier browsing. it may or may not be up to date, but it's got the majority of it listed with brief summaries. if it's not up to date, recent stuff will be at the top of the thoughts/meta tag.

other relevant tags: all original posts | isat thoughts/meta | my art | my fanfic | adventures in fic writing | replies (asks, mentions, peer reviewed tags) | peer reviewed tags on other people's posts

YouTube - where my isat animatic will eventually be posted. i've made a bunch of AMVs for Demon Slayer and Dungeon Meshi, along with a few other miscellaneous things. i love setting images to music!!!!

NOTE: this is not really a nsfw blog, but it's also not deliberately curated for a young audience. it's just a blog run by an adult and will reflect my thoughts and interests as such. discussion or depiction of adult/heavy/sexual themes aren't super frequent, but may come up (though as far as art/depictions go, you're much more likely to see gore than anything sexually explicit). i try to tag things with major content warnings, but i can be forgetful and not super consistent about it. if you let me know that you’d like something in particular tagged, i’ll do my best to be mindful and follow through.

proceed at your own risk and unfollow/block at your own discretion.

DIRK IS A REGULAR GUY. HE CAN DO A HOLISTIC.

[revizyonist]

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

Bugs when you- hey why is this bug flipping me off

[aro-ace-chaos]

“Please consider how amatonormativity/compulsory sexuality/allonormativity might be impacting your perspective on this” is not at all the same thing as insulting someone, attacking them, or calling them a bigot, FYI.

[aro-ace-chaos]

That being said, please always take time to reflect and consider how amatonormativity/compulsory sexuality/allonormativity might impact your perspective on things like fandom, shipping, media analysis, real life relationships, politics, and everything in between.

(Full game spoilers! If you havent finished the game, go do that and then come back.)

Odile does stutter occasionally, but only when she's completely caught off-guard, shaken, or extremely worried by something. Can't cram every instance into the post, but here's most of them.

Why am I bringing this up? Im glad you asked! Because I want to make you think about this particular scene.

[barbed-snile]

#oh- #oh no-

#my take away is that she's blindsided and also plausibly wounded by it

#'oh yeah i have the solution to your problem :D' #'but also no fuck you im not helping there's something more important to me right now'

#which from Odile's perspective probably looks like her being vulnerable with Siffrin #and asking if he'd be willing to help her out and also accept her vulnerability and talk about something really important to her

#and really hoping/borderline expecting they'd say yes because their plan for the day was to nap so like- #clearly they dont have anything pressing going on?

#and sif going 'maybe later' implies that what is like- pretty obviously a big emotions conversation #that they may not have another opportunity to have #is of lower priority than like- a nap to them

#(she thought she had a close bond with them... something like family... was she wrong?) #(is she doomed to a family that just doesn't care to stick around??) #or something like that #anywho anywho #im being so fine and chill and normal about this #*low opacity png of screaming into a pillow appears behind me*

YES YES YOU WORDED IT. Her offered out wasn’t really made with the expectation that Siffrin would actually take it. She tacked it on at the end because, well, its the polite thing to do. She doesn’t want to inconvenience Siffrin all so they can be silent emotional support as she marches towards the accumulation of all her years in Vaugarde, searching fruitlessly for a familytale she'd be allowed to hold in her hands. She's a grown woman, she can handle this herself if she has to, but treasured company would still be incredibly appreciated during such an important moment.

He's done her a favor, one she believes he doesn’t understand just how big, important it was for her. Not to mention, on their possibly last day alive. So she directly requests he accompany her. Reaching out, allowing herself to be completely vulnerable with someone she sees as almost family, if the word didnt carry the baggage it does.

So of course she'd be hurt if Siffrin- her easy-going party member, who never has anything going on, likes to wander aimlessly because they can, who loves to help everyone in their little group even if they sometimes suck at it and always goes on secret quests with her- suddenly has something more important than her familytale. Even if its just for a moment, they clearly dont know the full extent of what they've given her, and even when they come back right after, it still stings.
