Been fucking around on here long enough that I figure I may as well write a proper one of these LMAO
Hello! My name is Chrys! I'm 26, use they/she pronouns, I am a disabled butch lesbian, and I'm a writer, artist, and programmer! I am currently in college finishing my second degree/about to start my masters in Computer Science, and I work 2 on campus jobs so I'm fairly busy.
More info below!
Some important things to know about me:
My gender is Butch and my sexuality is dyke, and I am poly! I enjoy both Butch4Butch and Butchfemme, but I am strictly dyke4dyke or lesbian4lesbian (not from a anti-trans angle, to make this abundantly clear, trans lesbians and he/him lesbians of all kinds are welcome on this blog, I just prefer to be with someone who is also a dyke)
Disability and queerness, while they do not define me, are core aspects of my identity and who I have become as a person. DO NOT come at me with any homophobia/transphobia/ableism, and expect me to not call them out. Yes I will post complaining about disability or chronic pain or disability justice, yes you will like it.
I am a writer before almost anything else, and there is almost no limit to what I will write. I believe that my writing is an art to be perfected, a tool through which to examine, deconstruct, and view the world. I primarily write horror, fantasy, and sci-fi, and I am filled with whimsy and curiosity the likes of which you have never SEEN!
My writing almost always includes some elements of horror. it may not be horror outright, but be it body horror, cosmic horror, ecological horror, mental horror, or psychological horror, there is always SOME element of it to my writing.
I like weird shit. I like cryptic shit, I like niche shit. Please ramble at me. Please autism dump at me. I'm so onboard for all of these things, my asks and DMs are quite literally always open for you to dump your latest hyperfixation.
I RP! My chosen place of writing is discord, and I prefer literate, multi-paragraph writing. If you suspect our interests would align and we could write some wack shit together, feel free to message me :3
My passion project is a high-fantasy, extremely in depth world called Athyria that I will regularly post about. Almost all of my OCs and all of my world building comes from or goes into this passion project in some way, and writing it and potentially making it into a game are my lifelong goals.
My fandoms include, but are not limtied to: Iron Lung, Monster Hunter, The Locked Tomb, Final Fantasy XIV, Final Fantasy XV, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Cult of the Lamb, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hades games, DrakeNieR, Void Stranger, Borderlands, Kingdom Hearts, Soul Eater, Gachiakuta, Fullmetal Alchemist, and many many more, but the ones listed are the shit you'll prolly see me posting about most frequently.
The Tags you can use to find stuff on my account are:
Chrys Rambles: for when I'm posting insane rambly thoughts about theories or numerology or religion or fandom or or or
Chrys Reviews: for when I'm writing a review on a book, game, or movie that I've consumed and have enough thoughts, positive or negative, that I feel the need to write out
Chrys Writes: creative writing
Chrys Dergs: unashamed flight rising bullshit
Chrys Rants: me ranting about bullshit, usually the casual ableism I experience on a daily fuckin basis
Athyria: Anything and everything Athyria, from my world building to OCs to writing snippets
Final thoughts:
My DMs and asks are always open. PLEASE message me, even if we aren't mutuals. Ramble at me. talk to me about posts of mine that made you think, or give me your thoughts on whatever you're thinking about. Give me ideas, pitch plots, characters, and AUs to me, do ANYTHING, DMs are ALWAYS OPEN!
If you see me reblogging shit and not responding, I promise its not personal, I'm prolly busy and also have the memory retention of a peanut
I'm always open to obscure book, movie, game, or music suggestions
If you've read all this,,,, thanks! and welcome! Yee haw!
Why is there no disability benefit/support for working disabled people? Im stubborn as mule and will work despite chronic pain and daily dislocations of my hip+knee (I struggle with walking and stairs but I push through and limp). My job is physical labour, Ive tried getting a lower impact job but no one is hiring. I can work, It is just 10x harder for me than anyone else.
once you get over your ass and realise you will never get some people and thatâs ok you are basically immune to right wing fearmongering. otherkin? none of my fucking business
I must not fall victim to disgust. Disgust is the heart-killer. Disgust is the little-death that brings total apathy. I will face my disgust. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the disgust has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Not to Fire Emblem Three Houses in the year of our lord 2026, but
I have always found it⊠baffling that there was ever an argument in the first place about which was the ârightâ or âcanonâ route in that game. And that game, I personally think, was hella good, Dimitriâs character is genuinely one of my favorite characters of all time, and I think it had a lot of nuance and a lot to say, as well as a lot of faultsâ Edelgard and Claudeâs characterizations, as a broad example, I take issue with certain aspects of each of their characters that I feel is counterintuitive to the point of each of their routes, but I could go on about that for a while.
But like. Barring what is and is not well done, the WHOLE point of the game is that there is no correct answer. There is no âcorrectâ or âcanonâ route and there is no route with an ideal outcome for all of Fodlan. The whole game is about the different ways to enact lasting change, and the fact that none of those methods are ever going to produce a âperfectâ outcome. And that went so far over everyoneâs heads that they had to double down and spell it out much more plainly in Three Hopes.
And I remember being in the trenches of FE3H discourse, I was there when it was written, and I can fully acknowledge that I was a Dimitri stan and I used to hate Edelgard (I still do not enjoy her as a character but I can acknowledge the ways she is done well), but I wasnât one of them that hated Edel just bc she was a woman, I felt, and to a degree still feel, that her writing is inconsistent, and more importantly, her methods are not acceptable to me. But even at the time of this going down, I knew that was the point of the game, but I felt like I was one of the few who did. And still AM one of the few who understand that.
Idk. Iâve been replaying the game bc my partner started to play thru it and Iâve just been thinking a lot about it.
Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between âIâm defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this personâ and âIâm defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stopâ
IMO, blurring the lines between âIâm defending them because theyâre rightâ and âIâm defending them because youâre taking this too farâ is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracyâeven in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic.Â
Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and itâs also extremely dangerous. Mobs donât think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they canât be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isnât someone defending the ~problematic party~ Itâs time we re-learn that.
Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life.
EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc
Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe.
EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc
NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person.
*AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.
