About Us

Hi, we're Echo; a system of queer, disabled, nerdy alterhumans. (Collective pronouns: She/It) We consist of:

>> Kitty (She/It) -- Current host -- trans demigirl -- android catgirl doll -- polyamorus demisexual lesbian -- into a bunch of weird stuff -- monster lover

>> Morning (She/Her) -- Previous host -- trans girl -- cyborg bat pony unicorn -- ace & demi-panromantic -- also into weird stuff, but much less open about it

>> V![/]7L GL!+(# aka V (Glitch/Glitchself) -- agender aroace -- corrupted .mp3 file Vinyl Scratch fictive -- loves music and early 00's tech

>> Scarlett (She/Her) -- butch lesbian -- the only one of us who is human -- very casual and chill

>> Shadow (She/Her) -- asexual trans girl -- doll possessed by an angel -- our only little -- damaged but no less loved

>> Musoka (He/Him or She/Her) -- genderfluid bisexual -- half-demon -- cynical and slow to trust -- metalhead

>> Xenos (It/Its) -- giant alien monster thing -- filled with rage and injustice

>> Flipside (She/Her) -- bratty demon girl -- "become problematic"

We mostly reblog art, stuff related to media we like, and stuff that makes us smile. On very rare days, when the cosmos aligns, we'll actually make a post about something. We also reblog kink stuff (we try to tag it all under "kink", but sometimes something might slip thru the cracks).

Kinks you're likely to see here (a non-exhaustive list): hypnosis, transformation, petplay, BDSM, biting, general monsterfuckery, general robotfuckery, disassembly (non-biological)

I once went to a girl's house with the intent of playing games but was so exhausted I instead fell asleep in her lap for two hours while she pet my head

There's so many horror games about having to try to weed out and deal with inhuman imposters, but I want one where the script is flipped. You are something inhuman, you are an imposter, and if you want to survive you have to blend into a world that is trying to hunt you down and destroy you. You aren't human, but you must masquerade as one and infiltrate their world, or you will die.

[themainspoon]

I actually think we need to start inverting more Horror premises/tropes.

Like "You have to venture into the scary insane asylum!" VS "You're a patient who was admitted by force to an asylum, and you are very clearly in real danger, but everyone is pretending that you're just deluded, and are essentially leaving you to die because they don't really see you as a person."

I feel like there's a lot of Horror tropes built off of the fear of the other, when in reality it's actually often the other who is in danger. Maybe we could start recognising that more.

Interesting how the first half of the post has picked up popularity while the second part, which perhaps clarifies the idea of the original post, hasn't.

It's been interesting to see what media people are recommending based on the first post alone. A lot of recommendations for games/franchises like World of Darkness, Carrion, Kill All Humans, Among Us, etc. It's interesting because these are games that put you into the shoes of the violent other that has to infiltrate, without actually challenging the idea that the other is a threat. They actually parrot the ideas of the other as violent.

Funnily enough, the people recommending the comedy game Octodad understand the post much better than most of the people recommending horror media. A few mentions of Am I Nima, which isn't finished yet but does look like it could be what I am describing, so brownie points to the people recommending that.

But everyone saying stuff like "This is just being Trans/Autistic/Etc" really gets it, like really really gets it. Horror always communicates the fears and anxieties of the people who create it, this post was basically: "What if instead of communicating the fear of the other, we communicated the fears of the others, which are actually vastly more legitimate than the dominant groups fear of the other. We should recognise that it is overwhelmingly the others who are the ones who actually suffer and die, all for the perceived "saftey" and "comfort" of the dominant group."

This idea is about transphobia, it is about ableism, about anti-imigrant rhetoric and white supremacy, about queerphobia, it's about all of it. It is horror from the perspective of minority groups. It is the twisting of a trope built upon reactionary fears and narratives in order to critique them, it is a direct allegory for all those experiences you are describing.

Overall, it's just interesting to see who gets it and who doesn't.

Help out a disabled latina trans woman stay afloat?

Hi everyone, my name is Vi and I'm a trans woman from south america with a disabling neurological condition. I've had extensive nerve damage and years of underemployment has only make it worse to the point where my mobility is heavily compromised and my grip strength is barely nonexistent. Holding on to objects is an ordeal and moving around is extremely difficult.

To make matters worse, the price of groceries gets hiked up ridiculously month to month were i live, sometimes 20% or more, and minimum wage only covers about 1/4th of it, not even taking into account the prices of the medicine me and my mom need, since i struggle with diabetes and she's a cancer patient, and taking even less into account the costs of housing and constant trips to doctor's appointments.

I know things are tough for everyone but please, if you could help us out in any way possible I would be grateful from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for reading so far and I hope you have a good day.
