me saying i used to be a cis girl is not me misgendering myself. acknowledging my own fucking experiences isnt me misgendering myself.

[dusky-echo]

It would honestly be misgendering to imply that I was a little boy, because I certainly never was.

almost every early Eluveitie song was like *ethereal hurdy-gurdy/flute intro* *ETHEREAL HURDY-GURDY LICK, BUT NOW WITH A HARD LINE OF BASS + ELECTRIC GUITARS & TRADITIONAL PERCUSSION* *That One Same Pattern of THRASHING DRUMS and uNcLeAn VoCaLs* *Female voice with clean vocals chanting in proto-pseudo-helvetio-Celtic conlang* "RREEĘËAÂAAAAAAAAGHHHHHH" (repeat.) *pre-chorus with one isolated string instrument* *KEY CHANGE* *children's choir outro................*

repeat after me. humans are not inherently evil humans are not like a virus on this earth humans do not “deserve” to go extinct or anything like that. we are living breathing animals that deserve space just like every other creature on this planet. there’s just a tiny amount of us that have a fuck ton of money and power and they really suck

[boy-biter]

Being an insane sex pervert is fun until it hits that what turns me on is actually what turns me on and I am like fucked in the head for real

my satellotypes

I've been thinking a lot recently of how my kintypes are expanded into others and decided to make a list of them. I don't care to differentiate whether they exist as kin or hearttypes or whatnot, although most would be somewhere under hearted or synpath.

Wolf:

Werewolf: in that I am a human who is a wolf, therefore a werewolf. But also I've been imagining myself as a werewolf (ie one who is never just human or just wolf, but always a werewolf) specifically and it makes me really euphoric. Sometimes I wear my vampire fangs and do werewolf makeup and I feel like myself. I may start identifying as werewolfkin in the future, but for now it's this.

Vampire:

Zombie: zombies are the cousins of vampires. I see a lot of myself in a rotting corpse that seeks human innards.

Undead: this is simple as it sounds. Vampires are revenants, and (at least in my lore) vampires are dead. I've been leaning into this aspect a lot lately, and it's of course related to zombies.

Werewolf: see above. Werewolves and vampires are connected in their halloween mythos, and vampires are also heavily associated with wolves. For me, they feel like very similar creatures. You can't have one without the other.

Avian:

Hawk: my kintype is a humanoid being with wings and horns. The wing coloration is very similar to hawks, and I like it when I feel like my face looks aquiline. I've been thinking about making my hair look more hawklike as well.

Dipper Pines:

Dipper is sort of a satellotype itself if you think about it, but strong enough for me to identify with the concept of him independenly.

Strange Trails by Lord Huron. The whole album, but especially the songs Meet Me in the Woods, and Frozen Pines

Hawaii: Part II by Miracle Musical

Deer: this stems from monster falls where dipper is usually depicted as a cervitaur. If dipper was a deity, deer would be his sacred animal.

i think there is a phenomenon where sometimes a trans person will go “hmm. i am treated as a man when it is convenient for others, and a woman when it is convenient for others, and often as a freakish third thing excluded from the advantages of both. surely, because of the gender binary, the Other Type of trans person experiences the opposite: they reap the benefits of maleness and femaleness at once.” like babes no they can do it twice

[talankii]

heres a reminder that it's ok to headcanon your favorite characters as an alterhuman and you should totally do so

we have next to no representation in media or at least no well known representation and it's about time we get that representation one way or another

[hermesmoly]

Why is it always about Orpheus turning back foolishly and never about Eurydice following him out of the Underworld, likely knowing she was doomed. That Orpheus went all this way, singing the story of their love, hopeful that he will return her to the surface and finally build their life together— but they will not. She knows her Orpheus will turn back. And yet she still follows him, all the way to the top, because the simple pleasure of seeing his back again is enough for her. Isn’t that a foolish thing to do for love?

"if i was orpheus i simply wouldn't have turned around" if you didn't love her enough to turn around, you didn't love her enough to crawl through the underworld to save her. if you could prevent yourself from looking back, you wouldn't be trying to bring her back to life. if you were able to look forward, you would be grieving.

"if I was orpheus I simply wouldn't have turned around" if you don't love her enough to turn around, you aren't orpheus.

sounds pretty based to me
