Half a soul in a broken meatsuit

[22 F, pan] [Newfoundland, Canada] Main blog of a dragon. This blog won't only cover otherkin topics; I'll be posting whatever I find interesting, including psychology, medicine, animals, video games, and support for physically disabled or chronically ill people such as myself. Possibly NSFW or disturbing to some people. My magical girl + yuri blog is @cure-dragon-lily.

Sweet Dreams - Rora Blue

2020.

“Sweet Dreams explores the intricacies of everyday ableism and everyday ableist comments. Some of the comments recount dialogue said to the artist. Other phrases were submitted by other disabled and/or chronically ill individuals as documentation of comments that have been said to them. Through using recognizable objects associated with disability in correlation with playful colors, Sweet Dreams aims to reclaim objects commonly associated with pain and disrupt the narrative on what it means to be disabled.”

The only one I have not heard directed at me is the one about the parking space and that's only because I don't drive.

character in a movie: Oh no, angry dog, please don't bite me!

the dog: I'm at work! I'm doing so good at being at work! I'm barking because my handler gave the sign 'bark'! I am going to get such a good grade in being a dog actor, which is completely possible to achieve, and normal to want! I am doing a great job! I am proud of myself for doing such a great job! I love this, because I'd make it physically impossible to get anything done if I wasn't enjoying it! I'm barking!

Watching the trailer to Wolf (2021) temporarily "cured" me of all my animal traits. I'm so embarrassed to be a therian right now, I don't want to ever act animalistic again in my life. I feel objectified, misunderstood, patronized, and gawked at. But above everything, I just feel ashamed.

[shadowfae]

Is it that bad???

[aestherians]

It shows people with species dysphoria acting in clearly unstable and unhealthy ways, while the statement of the movie seems to be "these people shouldn't be locked up, they should be free to run on all fours in public :)" which is... not at all what I want from a movie about species dysphoria. I can't articulate my thoughts very well right now. I'm upset.

[dovewithscales]

I just went and found it and watched it myself and I too have... concerns. What even is this? I feel like there's no chance this isn't going to be offensive and detrimental to otherkin, neurodivergent people, and the overall stigma against the idea of mental healthcare all at the same time.

And I have an uncomfortable suspicion they're probably gonna also try to shoehorn in some poorly executed offensive metaphor for homophobia/transphobia and anti-gay conversion therapy to add some depth to the offensiveness.

[smol-paw]

The ableism also runs pretty deep in Just the trailer alone. The whole thing plays out like a suspenseful horror. Which is disgusting when it's obvious that they're taking the stance that Otherkin are "mentally ill" for identifying as nonhuman.

Mentally ill individuals ARE NOT a horror movie trope. Mental health should never be demonized.

Also, as a therian/otherkin, I feel mocked. I dont know how to describe it other then it's the exact same feeling I get when I see allistic pretend to be autistic (like sias horrible movie "Music"). It's just. So obvious that they're faking it. It doesn't feel genuine or even fluid.

[dovewithscales]

It's obvious the target audience is the portion of the population whose response to anything "new" is fear. They're capitalizing on the fact that otherkin are now a thing people are starting to hear about, and that most of them don't know what to think of us yet.

we make a lot of jokes here on tumblr dot com but at the end of the day i still fundamentally want monster parts that science can't give me

Saw this screenshot the other day. I think it's appropriate here.

[who-is-page]

My dumb animal brain: hold you people you love gently. With your teeth.

Me: What in the fuck my good sir

[dovewithscales]

Me, muffled by biting my mate's arm: What's wrong with that?

[denofthesecretdragon]

I see your Tumblrkin and I present to you...

TikTokin

Apparently there's a notably-sized following of "real vampires" on there. I expect nothing less of the only media-sharing platform that's arguably worse than Tumblr.

(This is probably a troll but to be on the safe side I'm censoring the face.)

[fangzotherkinblog]

i miss having a tail, i want to see it move back and forth

i miss having fur, i want to feel it keep me warm, im so cold without it

i miss running on all fours, i want to chase prey through the forest again

i miss my old life

Visit Original Link

Easily the best audio post I’ve ever made

[halgorithmic]

Guys lemme tell you bout this thing

To give you perspective , I dont really feel my legs unless I’ve worked out for at least five minutes and it’s been like this for a couple years now so when the first couple seconds popped up I was like “yoo this kinda sounds good? Familiar?” Then THAT shift happened and istg I could feel all of my limbs and they all were screaming at me with the fight or flight response. Freaked me the fuck out man but good song

[sounddesignerjeans-deactivated2]

come listen to my song, it will tear off your fucking legs

[perfectlygenericblog]

“Oh, your song slaps? That’s cute. This one amputates.”

[uberfluss]

if i had my soul it’d escaped at this

[hawkyaly]

Opposite of the original song, no contagious dancing, only paralyzing fear.

[running-with-toast]

dragged this mp3 file out of a fuckin swamp

[little-wintry]

i expected to get fucking rickrolled. this is worse.

[micaxiii]

[decepticonsensual]

Look, I don’t know if there’s such a thing as the opposite of an ASMR video, but this EXTREMELY CURSED OBJECT is it, I was curled into a ball wracked by horrified shivers.

[emilianmodemedia]

stopped it 20 seconds in, my bones felt as if they were rotting from within

[dagny-hashtaggart-deactivated20]

Magnificently unwholesome. Like the bubbling of the damned.

[official-lucifers-child]

this sounds like someone took a bunch of different-toned blasters from star wars and shot them all in rhythm in a way that made this monstrosity

i love this. but also this made me nearly die.

[opalcrow]

🥴

[cannibalcaprine-deactivated2024]

good fucking Christ

[swa-shed-aquasi-deactivated2023]

idk I think it’s funky, alien music and I like it

[rose-above-dark-deactivated2023]

[spookyskele700]

Fucking hell it feels like my head and my heart are burning from the anxiety this song causes me

Listening to this makes me struggle to breath, like i just fell down the stairs

I fucking hate this

[jj-isnt-a-bunni-deactivated2023]

I FUCKING RECOILED

IM SO UNCOMFORTABLE THINKING ABOUT IT. I AM NOT SLEEPING TONIGHT OR THIS WILL HAUNT MY DREAMS OH MY GOD I HATE THIS WITH EVERY FIBER OF MY BEING

I made it 23 seconds in and I’m like this close 👌 to v+miting (o). If you can make it further and DM me I will personally congratulate you and send you a picture of my rats.

[mr-freezo-42069-inactive]

slimy and unwholesome sounds to kill the pope with

[captainclickycat]

I don’t know how, but this sounds like the way those dreams where you can’t run feel

[knux2beyoo]

[hutchesonian]

This gave me chills but warm

[dovewithscales]

I listened to the whole thing and giggled out loud the whole time. That sure was a song.

[dzamie]

Tumblr keeps stopping playback. A shame, cuz this is pretty fun to listen to!

It’s like you got hit by a shock in Mario Kart while Take On Me played.

[dovewithscales]

It’s trying to protect you.

[denofthesecretdragon]

The beginning reminds me of the "Fearful Harmony" and "Personified Fear" sounds from the original Playstation error screens. The sense of terror and dread I felt when those caught me off guard as a kid have never been rivaled... until now.

"I'll be coming for your love, okay?" sounds vaguely threatening in this, but as the song continues it sounds like singing into one of those toy microphone things. Still very unsettling.

[honestground]

honestly pretty ballsy of this hellsite to start offering paywall options when porn, arguably the only thing that people would want to pay Actual Money for, is fucking Banned

Gotta reblog every time I see it

[popcorn-joints]

the three most common types of people you'll encounter at the grocery store while using a cane as a young person

1. the elderly person who treats you like a beloved grandchild (the best)

2. the teenager or young adult at the checkout lane who completely loses all their social skills trying to talk to you

3. the person who just stares at you indefinitely and doesn't seem to realize you can see them

[dovewithscales]

Don't forget "you're too young to need a cane!"

I love snake yawns. They have "extra dimensions" in their yawns to stretch out all four sections of their mouth and it looks derpy and adorable.

That being said, these tend not to be yawns — snakes often need to realign their jaws, especially after consuming meals, since the bottom (and sometimes top) parts of the jaw/skull bones can be manipulated independently on the left and right sides. They gotta be put back into alignment every once in a while.

(My jaws also pop out of alignment sometimes. Nobody calls me adorable when I gotta do it though...)

[transmechanicus]

Posts that be like “If I were a monster that had to eat people, i would just eat horrible people~” are so absurd to me. How often do you see Known Criminals on the street? Billionaires out for a nightly stroll around town? Effectively fucking never. If I have to drag myself to the grocery store, you think it’s gonna be any easier for me to hunt Bezos and Co. every time my stomach growls? I can’t bother to plan meals more than a day in advance, how am i gonna perform whole ass detective work to confirm someone’s a serial killer before i eat them? Ya’ll got that much time on your hands? Planning 5 course meals every night of the week? Don’t make me laugh. Eat a pedestrian and tragically wrestle with guilt like the rest of us, idiot.

[transmechanicus]

Experienced people eater weighing in with the most galaxy brain option

[medea-azyungele]

Alright but “how do I only eat awful people” is literally part of the plot of Santa Clarita Diet

[dovewithscales]

CEO's and one percenters are for special occasions. For your day to day, landlords can be found if you just go to the right events, and cops advertise themselves. And for variety you can grab Nazis whenever they show up. In June homophobes are in season. Tracking down serial killers and abusers is nice now and then for a treat, but you don't have to go to all that work all the time.

Also, if you just have a Facebook account, reprehensible people will come to you. No effort required. Considering how many people I find out are white nationalists in my area every time I use that cesspool.

@simonalkenmayer relevant to your interests.

Child molesters are registered publicly in the US.

[dovewithscales]

Another good idea.

[denofthesecretdragon]

"Sex offender registry"? That's a funny way to spell "lunch menu"...

[inthetags]

reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is
