[crabussy]

I see you've taken interest in the highly ridiculous menagerie that is The Carefully Curated Parts Of My Life That I Present Online. do enjoy your visit, whether it's brief or not! I make funny text posts, share interesting facts and musings, nerd out about wizards, and reblog stuff I like. I'm an ecologist in training and a character designer by profession!

post includes: info about me, sideblogs, tagging system, and hobbies!

(this is going to be LLLLOOOOOONG. I love explaining!!)

✦ Name: Robin to most, Rob to some, Thing to all (call me whatever!)

✦ Pronouns: I'm a guy, and I use he/him exclusively, NO they/them ever thank you! some cheeky it/its is always fun though go for it

✦ Age: 20. how'd this happen.

✦ Nationality: I am a Pākehā Kiwi. I'm from AOTEAROA!!!!!!!!!!

✦ Plurality: I am part of an OSDD-1B system! some of the others have their own blogs set up, but they may post on my blog too, tagged with "_____ takeover". (I have discussed this with a therapist and a psychiatrist, and any more info is my personal business!)

✦ Q&A:

Q: why can't I DM you? A: my dms are closed due to previous unsavoury experiences! only people I follow can DM me. you can send me asks, though!

Q: why haven't you answered my ask? A: I get over a hundred asks any given week. sometimes in a single day. I can't get to them all! but I read every last one, and I appreciate them even when I don't respond.

Q: who is that in your PFP? is that a sona? A: that's magus! they're an adventure time wizard, but I've been crazy about them for so many years that they're practically an OC. I like them

Q: what's your stance on (contentious topic)? A: you can ask! but generally, I try my best to adopt a case-to-case, nuanced as possible, good faith based mindset when it comes to discourse heavy topics. if I don't know enough about something, I don't share my opinions on it. I avoid most discourse topics entirely.

Q: where's your DNI? A: don't have one. that info can be ammo for people who don't mean well. I receive far fewer vague and disturbing asks without one. [:

⋇ Activity: I love cycling and mountain biking [: and hiking, which I've mentioned above!!! I'm also an open water scuba diver and I can ski! although I don't often get the chance to...

i wanted to answer this one 'cause it sparked my interest! the answer is a teeny bit tricky. we kinda sorta do!!! whoever fell asleep usually has dreams from their point of view (^: so if francis was the one who fell asleep, she'll have dreams as herself! BUT sometimes somebody else makes an appearance. i've dreamed that i was hanging out with rob at a mall before, just eating sweet treats and chatting... gosh that was a very nice dream

[crabussy]

rob i just had what i like to call a Fantastic Cup of Tea. have you had any nice ones recently it is minty fresh freeeezing out!

I need to make Magus Tea Again... <- I had a dream that adventure time released character themed tea including the first and only actual magus merch. and their tea was orange and pomegranate and cinnamon and star anise flavoured. and it was SO GOOD that when I woke up I almost immediately went to the supermarket to get all the ingredients I needed. just as tasty in real life. beautiful winter treat.. maybe I'll make it again soon....

has anyone else noticed how often women specifically are mentioned when people get mad about a certain behaviour or habit that is absolutely not at all exclusive or even more common in women. stares into the sunset. I have. I've noticed

[crabussy]

I see people calling others terfs (largely associated exclusively with women) for plain and simple transphobia that has nothing to do with terf ideology. I see people seething about female celebrities for shit that DOES suck while not even mentioning male celebrities who have done so much worse. the whole "karen" caricature despite men also frequently being difficult or entitled customers.

sure, all of these things (terfs, terrible celebrity behaviour, entitled customers) suck and it's fine to talk about them. but notice with me just how often people direct their anger at only 50% of a group that are displaying the same behaviour. it's weird! it's weird, right???

[crabussy]

and you're not a bad person if you've fallen into this line of thought yourself. I have too!!! it's all around you, it's very easy to think these things because it's so normalised! the first step is Noticing. just a simple "why are women specifically receiving the brunt of the frustration for an issue that is also perpetuated by others?" is a good place to start. just Notice.

[crabussy]

before anyone has the chance to misconstrue me. this ABSOLUTELY applies to trans women too. when I say women I am by default talking about All Women. but can we also notice how when a trans woman does something wrong, she gets talked about and shamed so much more than a man who does the same thing? how when trans women as a group are perceived as more likely to do something "wrong", it's suddenly conflated exclusively with them even when in reality they're not any more likely to do said "wrong" thing than any other group?

[dirac-equation]

Unless I misread your post, there's an XKCD about this.

[crabussy]

of course there is. thank you XKCD.

there's a weird habit where people notice that Sometimes Women Do A Bad Thing and suddenly it's a Bad Thing that ONLY women do. I'm a little bit tired of it!
