Hello. We’re the Chromαtic Roses. An adaptive dissociative system. You can call us Chroma when we don’t specify who’s fronting. Ask us what pronouns we prefer, it’ll change depending on who’s in front.

Posts tagged with #<name>core are posts that remind us of various alters within our system.

BYF and other blogs under the cut!

BYF:

Don’t ask us who’s fronting. If we want to be called a specific name, we’ll specify. If not just use Chromα.

We are fictive heavy, specifically RvB fictive heavy.

Red vs Blue has been our main special interest for over a decade. Our other main SpIn is Undertale/Deltarune.

We are inclusive of all system types and origins! Plurality is a spectrum and the psychiatric institute is a means of oppression. If you don’t agree we will block you.

We are inclusionists. We very strongly believe in respecting self identification. Whatever label someone wants to be called is what they are called. We may not understand why, but that doesn’t matter. You know you better than anyone else ever possibly could.

The question of how fiction interacts with reality is one with so much complexity and nuance that every piece of art must be analyzed for its impact on an individual basis. The idea that you can boil down this incredibly complex issue into two opposing factions is so asinine it infuriates me. If you align yourself with either side of "shipcourse" you will not find a home here.

Trans men/transmasculine people face a unique form of oppression that deserves to be addressed. I do not care what words you use to describe it and consider arguments about language to be distractions from actually addressing transmasculine oppression.

Which is rather remarkable, if you think about it, because normally nothing in this world has any consequence.

not to sound like a crazy sjw but parents putting little girls in frilly dresses/lavish clothes and telling them not to run, climb, play in dirt, etc lest they ruin their outfits or somebody look up their skirts is one of the most direct ways we as a society teach girls that they are only ornamental and cut their childhoods short

[sparrowlucero]

its kind of distressing how you can tell a lot of people see popular indie artists and writers and such as like "a Celebrity but one which i stand a half decent chance of bullying to death"

One thing that deeply irritates me is the way some American leftists talk about U.S veterans and imperial violence, because beneath all the Marxist language there is often this unspoken assumption that the rest of the world is supposed to emotionally process American empire in a way that is convenient for Americans. It's specifically the discourse surrounding the tactical necessity of American military veterans and it represents a profound distortion of both historical Marxist theory and contemporary material realities.

This argument typically manifests as a defense of U.S. service members against the "unprincipled" or "moralistic" anger of Global South populations, who are frequently chastised for alienating a demographic that American leftists claim will provide vital "military expertise" when "the revolution" inevitably arrives.

The argument usually goes something like this:

1. Veterans are working class.

2. Lenin argued communists must organize among soldiers.

3. Therefore hostility toward U.S veterans is politically immature, “moralistic,” or anti-materialist" and "un-marxist" because soldiers can become revolutionary subjects and their military expertise will be necessary “when the revolution comes.”

To legitimize this position, chauvinistic elements within the Western left frequently weaponize Vladimir Lenin’s writings on the radicalization of Tsarist soldiers during the Russian Revolution. However, this theoretical transposition collapses under rigorous analysis, relying on a false equivalence that ignores the vastly different class structures, material incentives, and geopolitical positions of the 20th-century Russian conscript versus the 21st-century American volunteer soldier.

​When Lenin wrote about the necessity of agitating among Tsarist soldiers, he was analyzing a peasant army composed of millions of intensely exploited, involuntarily conscripted laborers who were being meat-grinded in a catastrophic imperialist war. For the Tsarist soldier, "peace, land, and bread" were immediate, existential class demands that aligned perfectly with the Bolshevik platform. The Tsarist soldier was not a beneficiary of empire; he was its victim, forced at gunpoint to die for a monarchy that denied his family basic agrarian rights.

This distinction matters enormously.

Lenin’s argument was not:

“soldiers are inherently progressive.”

Nor was it:

“colonized people must suppress hostility toward occupying forces.”

Nor even:

“all criticism of soldiers alienates the masses.”

The Bolshevik position was that communist movements cannot afford to abandon armed sections of the population entirely to reactionary politics, especially during periods where state legitimacy is weakening.

​In stark contrast, the contemporary U.S. military is a highly professionalized, all-volunteer force that functions as the enforcement arm of global capital. The American soldier is not a peasant conscript but a contractual employee of the imperial core. While the "poverty draft" is often cited to argue that enlistment is entirely coercive, this framing obscures the specific class character of the U.S. veteran. Enlistment in the U.S. military is fundamentally an investment in upward class mobility within the imperial system. It is a transaction where individuals trade a period of service to the empire in exchange for a highly coveted bundle of social democracy: guaranteed healthcare, fully funded higher education, housing subsidies, and preferential hiring in state apparatuses.

​Consequently, the political consciousness of the American veteran class is not defined by revolutionary potential, but by a perpetual cycle of grievance rooted in unfulfilled imperial promises. The material reality of the veteran experience is a chronic struggle against the bureaucratic failures of the state; such as the inefficiencies of the Department of Veterans Affairs, rather than an awakening to the systemic evils of imperialism. Their radicalism, when it exists, is almost exclusively reactionary. Veterans in the U.S are disproportionately represented within policing institutions, border enforcement, private military contracting, nationalist movements, and right-wing formations. So even when veterans become disillusioned, that disillusionment does not automatically produce anti-imperial consciousness; it is an anger that the state has broken its contract with them, demanding the compensation they feel they rightfully earned by subjugating the Global South. This grievance-based politics does not threaten the capitalist state; it is entirely siphoned back into the existing political apparatus. The veteran class is ritualistically invoked every four years by both bourgeois political parties as a symbolic prop to legitimize American nationalism, promised reform, and then promptly discarded until the next election cycle. Their primary collective orientation is the preservation of their unique benefits, which are directly funded by the value extracted from the very Global South populations American leftists order us not to alienate.

​Furthermore, the leftist claim that the domestic movement requires the "military expertise" of veterans for a looming revolution is a fantasy untethered from material conditions.

What revolution exactly?

Where is this revolution supposed to occur?

Under what conditions?

Emerging from what mass base?

Against what degree of state legitimacy?

Following what economic rupture?

With what organizational infrastructure?

With what relationship to organized labor, racialized surplus populations, migrants, or the global south?

Under what conceivable circumstances is a synchronized, armed proletarian uprising manifesting within the heavily militarized, heavily surveilled heart of the global hegemon?

The United States lacks both the vanguard organization and the broad-based class consciousness required to orchestrate a structural overthrow of capital. By centering the veteran as an indispensable tactical asset, American leftists reveal a deeply romanticized, militaristic understanding of revolutionary change that prioritizes combat aesthetics over actual mass organizing.

​The ultimate irony of this position lies in its profound historical and ongoing betrayal of internationalism. The very "military expertise" that Western leftists fetishize is a euphemism for the operational knowledge acquired by executing counter-insurgency warfare, drone strikes, and resource theft across the Global South. The American veteran class is expertly trained not to launch revolutions, but to systematically crush them wherever they emerge in the periphery. To demand that victims of U.S. imperialism suppress their rage under the guise of "Marxist discipline" so that Western leftists can hoard imperial managers for a hypothetical domestic uprising is a textbook display of social-chauvinism. It subordinates the real, material suffering of the global proletariat to the theoretical convenience of leftists residing safely within the metropole.

I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up

[samirasystole]

ahhh so you're shown to be capable of recognising that people's trauma can make them act irrationally and unpleasantly! you recognised it in the white man! can you also recognise it in the brown woman? no? she's mean and bitchy and uncaring? i see

[kendranotreally]

i really like the metrocops and i think the mike cop should be named twoteen. cause like fourteen uses male04 i'm pretty sure. and the other one uses male02 i'm pretty sure. twelve would also work but i'm calling him twoteen until he's got an official name/number.

[ladylunora]

those are CLEARLY the beatles

[paintedhen]

one of the big deltarune meta questions is “why are so many darkners referential to mettaton in some way” and i honestly think the answer is in how badly he wants to BE an object. robots are something that is only partially a person. in undertale, he’s referred to as expendable, replaceable, and even the idea of “mettaton” becomes moreso a brand or character than a living monster. thematically i think this makes him, in some sense, part darkner.

um so quick question you do know that the world isn’t divided into People Blindly Accepting Of Gender Roles and Smart Trans Ppl. the world isn’t divided into People In Romantic Relationships and Single Aros. the world isn’t divided into People Who Socialize Easily and Oppressed Autistics. the world isn’t divided into Enlightened Queer People and Stupid Misogynists. like you are aware of this ? i hope you are aware of this

so upset this moment didn't get in the final cut

[wayneradiotv]

This was cut because even after discussion with with the team AND Baaulp himself I could not figure out why standing in a cross formation and rotating made them the Beatles. I did research to see if there was some famous Beatles album cover or photograph or performance where this connection was evoked and I failed to find anything. The only line of logic I could follow on it was they were the beatles because there are four of them and sometimes on stage they were arranged in a way that vaguely resembled a circle or a square as typically bands do that

[markovchaingang]

first they came for me and i was all like "hang on, aren't you guys supposed to come for other people first" but they pointed out that they had to come for someone first and we can't all be the guy from the poem and i couldn't really argue with that logic tbh
