new placeholder intro post because the old on was bothering me
Goggles / Copper / Pilot. (names change a lot, I'll try to keep this updated)
it/its +void/rust pronouns (some other neos are also acceptable)
[old intro post if you really want to read it] +extra info under the cut
I mostly spam reblog fandom stuff here, but I also post my art (under the '#goggles draws' tag).
> art can be used as pfps on tumblr, discord, playlist icons, edits, etc. With Credit!
> don't use my art for anything related to AI (including chatbots like character.ai) and don't repost it
Never escaping the MC FNAFverse fixation I fear (especially the Popgoes/Joint Duo stuff)
Other current fandoms/media I like; Rogurt, Nullscape, 17776, Malevolent etc.
>I like headcanoning characters to be aspec, objectum, transgender, disabled, etc. (usually chronic pain, AuDHD and tics but any disability and queer headcanons are awesome)
[post link] assume all the fandom stuff I post isn't shipping unless stated otherwise
also an objectoid thing (similar to objectkin but I don't label myself as an otherkin), I refer to myself using it/its and as an 'object' (or more specific stuff like goggles or a machine, etc.) and use object-like or non-human terms for myself (e.g. a 'thing' or 'sentient object') a lot of the time. It would be appreciated if you referred to me similarly. Maybe also a fictionkin but who knows.
No armor hardcore Red Vs Blue team is SOOO funny. Wdym one team is like roses and daisies team work machine snd the other has a cryptid and several presumed dead players.
oh noooo what do you mean theres weird stuff on the Weird Stuff Website, made specifically to hold the weird stuff that can't be posted anywhere else????
By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.
We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.
Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.
Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!
taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult
at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)
'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65
it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age
it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.
you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.
young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!
there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
and if i said nolan's odyssey starring no greek actors and with no recognizable aspects of greek culture or involvement by greeks, is the direct legacy of white supremacist colonialism that treated ancient greece as not just the pinnacle of ancient culture, but of an artificially created "european" culture, which white western europeans and their settler descendants, as the new pinnacle of culture, were the sole spiritual inheritors of.
^^^ PEOPLE ARE STILL THERE. There's a metro station across the street from the colosseum where i found a hair in my pizza slice. We drove by ruins of an amphitheater next to a motorway in greece once. It's literally just real places where real people live and have lived. It's not mythical perfect lands that once existed. I went to Itacha in 2023 and there was not enough parking space.
And since we don't face direct punishment for missing positive social cues like we do for negative ones, our coping skills and compensatory hypervigilance don't develop the same way. So we go through a world of never recognising positive signals, sometimes spotting negative signals, and knowing for sure there's more negative signals we're still missing, because those keep blowing up in our face.
