Last updated: 8/27/2024 by Bill Cipher (Any pronouns)
The text is long so I put half of the post under a line lmao
IS SOMEONE FRONTSTUCK/WHO'S THE "HOST"?: 'Bill' Cipher (+ Will Cipher and Tad)
NAMES AND LABELS + ANY OTHER INFO
We collectively go by Arachne and Nik, as well as Shepherd with our close friends. We will probably respond to any name if we know you're talking to us, but we'd rather you use our preferred collective names, or our own personal names if you know who's fronting.
We prefer for people we don't quite know to use It/Its and That/Thats on us unless an alters sign-off on a post states otherwise. We are fine with any pronouns but will consider you using anything besides It/That as you being purposefully disrespectful unless you correct yourself. Our friends have our discord and therefore should know all our preferred pronouns, so there's no need for us to list them here.
We use many, MANY labels collectively as we don't have a great grasp on a collective sexuality, gender, or anything otherwise. The ones we've decided on for now are Polysexual, Ambiamorous, Queer, and AroAce spectrum.
We are bodily a minor. Practically no one in our system is but LEGALLY and BODILY we are a minor. If you are an adult who does not want minors interacting with you, DON'T FOLLOW US. It's genuinely upsetting to have to see someone cool follow us and then checking their account only to see "MDNI" in their bio.
DISCOURSE LABELS
Discourse is an inevitable thing we cannot escape due to the communities we are in, so here is a list of things we label ourself as.
We are:
Profiction
Proparaphile
Genicpunk
Radinclus
Cyberqueer (Our beloved creation)
It should be safe to assume that if you do things that are against our beliefs/discourse stances, that we will likely block you.
"DNI" LIST/BLOCK LIST AND BYF
Obviously our BYF is pretty much listed above, if you are against anything we support or agree with, then don't be surprised when you come on our account and we make posts supporting that stuff.
As for our "DNI" aka the list of people we will probably block, here ya go:
Homophobes and transphobes, as well Exclusionists, Transmeds, AroAce exclusionists, Anti-Neopronouns, and Anti-Xenogenders (Yes, all of them fit in with Trans/Homophobes, it's the same shit in a different package)
Neosatanists (Actually fuck off.)
TERFS/SWERFS/Any other variant of their bullshit
Racists, Xenophobes, Nazis, just literally any form of racist bullshit
Pro-contact/Non-consent paraphile supporters. (If you're "anti-recovery" feel free to interact, from what we've learned most people who say that don't actually believe Paraphiles shouldn't get therapy, they just don't believe it's possible to recover from Paraphilia unless it's a Disordered Paraphilia.)
Ableists, Sysmeds, Anti-self diagnosis, and anyone who uses the following terms to insult/demean people: Retarded, Narcissistic, Sociopathic, Psychopathic, Mentally ill/Unwell, Disordered, or Autistic. Also, if you use any form of disorder as an insult or as if its just another basic word (EX: "I'm so OCD", "I'm so ADHD") despite not having that disorder.
Anyone who asks people for proof of their race, mental disorders or illnesses, chronic illnesses, or physical disorders.
Also, antishippers will be blocked SWIFTLY, We would rather not get 50 death/rape deaths, be told to harm ourself, and then be told our trauma is deserved.
Besides those things, there's plenty of other shit you'll get blocked by us for, but honestly, you don't need to know EVERY little detail of our block list. If we don't like you, you're blocked, whether you fit the above list or not.

Probably a lot more but I'm violently nauseous while creating this so. This is the end of the intro and I'll finish it in the future or someone else will idk.
In the midst of all these “Humans will packbond with anything” posts, I’m going to pause and give you some actual, real-world career advice
Ready?
Humans are packbondy creatures. I mean, there’s just no arguing it. They packbond readily, and quickly, and unbelievably strongly. Once a human has packbonded with a thing, they will do anything to help and protect that thing.
There’s a downside to that, not often mentioned. It uses up a lot of their time and energy to build those packbonds, maintain those packbonds, and most especially to do the work of helping and protecting those with whom they have packbonded. It doesn’t leave them a lot of time and energy for helping other beings.
If you want a human to help you – if you want to reliably get their best effort – you have to packbond with them first.
“Yeah? So?”
So you’re probably going to be working with humans for most, if not all, of your career. No matter how good or bad you are at your job, there will come a time when you need someone else in your workspace to help you with something, whether that’s manning the fry station for 2 minutes while you pee, sending over those numbers from marketing, or dropping everything to teach you how to do a thing that your boss told you to do or else you’d be fired.
Not to mention the big things. They don’t give promotions to just their friends – at least not so much any more. Promotions go to the people who’ve completed big, visible, important projects. It seems fair until you consider,,,, who gets the big, important, visible projects assigned to them in the first place?
Humans give boosts to the people they’ve packbonded with. They mention packbondee’s accomplishments to the boss (or the boss’ boss). They cover for the mistakes of people they’ve packbonded with.
“That’s not right! It shouldn’t be a popularity contest! It should be about who does the best –”
Listen to me.
Listen.
You may be right. You may be the most correct creature to have ever spoken since the beginning of galactic civilization.
It
does
not
matter
Humans packbond. It’s what they do. I can’t stop it. You can’t stop it. No power in the ‘verse can stop it. This is how the human do.
All you can do is work with it.
If you want a human to help you – if you want to reliably get their best effort – you have to packbond with them first.
“Look, I’m introverted and scared of people and I have social anxiety so I really don’t know how to –”
Hey, my pal, I feel you. I, too, am introverted. And I have social anxiety. And I have PTSD that actually – and I recognize that this is bizarre – has ‘business networking’ as a trigger.
For you, I have good news:
Humans will packbond with anything.
Like, you don’t really actually have to do anything. You kinda just have to… exist. In their presence. They kinda do the rest.
If you can talk with them, that speeds things up. But it doesn’t have to be, like, good conversation. Like, it can totally go
You: boy, sure is hot out!
Human: Man oh man, can you believe it?
You: Wow, yeah
Human: Totally
You: ….
Human: ….
This conversation – as awkward and uncomfortable as it felt to you, has caused this human to packbond with you a little more. If you repeat it weekly, you will get good results.
THE TAKEAWAYS
You need to packbond with the humans you come in contact with
Taking time to do that is not only justifiable, it is an important part of your job, and should be treated as such
That is to say that, as much as you hate it (and believe me, I understand), you have to take time away from actual work and dedicate it to packbonding with your fellow workers
Tips
Plan out your packbonding time. It’s easier if you can initiate than if a human springs packbonding-time on you all unexpected. In an office job I like to use Friday afternoon, but adjust according to what makes sense to you and your situation.
Keep some packbonding-time questions handy. My go-to list is:
(If it’s Monday or Tuesday) How was your weekend?
(If it’s Wednesday) How’s your week been so far?
(If it’s Thursday or Friday) Any big plans for the weekend?
How’s your day been?
You don’t have to care about the answers to these questions. All you have to do is remember that if the human is answering questions, they are not asking you any questions. Therefore questions are your friend. If you ask follow-up questions, you may be able to get through the entire packbonding time without having to do any of the talking
Learn to disengage from packbonding. You can use basically the same sentence (or variants on it), but you’ll want to practice it so that you can make it sound natural. I use “Awesome! Well, I gotta get going. Have a good one!”
I know it feels overwhelming, but a few minutes of packbonding, once a week, is all you need. Once you build it into your habits it can be no more annoying than doing dishes or showering.
Okay but really this is true. And here’s a MAJOR tip that will really help you out.
Focus on them/their answers.
It sounds basic but you’ll want to hear this out, trust me. It changed my life.
When you’ve got social anxiety and other shit that makes your brain a mess, it can be really hard to talk to people. I’ve got all that in spades so trust me I get it. What your brain wants you to do, is hyperfocus on yourself and your words and your actions because those are controllable. Here’s the trick though, and studies will back this up btw, focusing on them will ease your own anxiety. It will also help prevent you from being too anxious to pay attention to their answer.
It works wonders, really. It can be hard to remember to do, but it really does help. What I do is, when I start getting anxious, I make myself think about their day. What might they be struggling with in that moment? What could I do to help?
And here’s the second tip that will work wonders for you.
Follow Up.
Seriously. Don’t force yourself through the pain of small talk just to let all that good intel go to waste. People frickin love knowing others are invested in their lives. If they mention having a date? Ask how it went, follow up on it. They mention they’re retiling their bathroom- follow up on that shit. How’d it go? Hell, offer to help if you like them enough. Health problems? That probably really sucks for them, so go ahead and step up, and prove you’re someone worth having a packbond with. Seriously, set reminders if you have to. Make a list of things the people in your life are interested in/worried about. Do what you gotta do. Just follow up on that shit.
On that same note though, don’t pry. If it’s a heavier topic, be sure to include something like “hey and you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want. I’m here to listen if you do, but no pressure.” Sometimes I’ll even add something like “We can talk about anything! Wanna talk about cats? I freakin love cats.” That way, if they don’t want to talk about it, they can easily segue into another topic without feeling pressured to talk about something they’re uncomfortable with.
Tip #3: When somebody does a good job, let them know. Did they format a template real nice? Tell ‘em. Did they do an excellent job on a project? Tell them. Did they back up a coworker and get shit for it? Tell them you think they did the right thing. Things like that go a long way.
OKAY LAST AND FINAL TIP- This is something small that can just be nice for the people around you. Find out their birthdays, and put an alert on your phone to let you know like a week ahead. Then ask them, “hey you’re birthday’s coming up right? Any fun plans?”
People like knowing you’ve put in the effort to remember their bday and did just get a Facebook notification the day of.
I’ve got to hit the hay but there are some other smaller things I’ve found to be pretty helpful. Hmu later if you want those!

Can we please for the love of god stop telling teenagers they’re too young to have aches and pains. Can we please stop being dismissive about these things. Fakeclaiming is disgusting period, but it is exponentially harmful to youth. Just because you didn’t start hurting until your 20s or 30s or 40s doesn’t mean every teenager complaining of chronic pain must be lying. I learned the hard way that if kids are invalidated enough about this, they will just learn to accept constant pain as a fact of life. And then they will need surgery they can’t afford in ten years bc it turns out constant pain is NOT a fact of life. At any age.

i wish people would stop trying to convince trans men that they shouldn’t transition (medically).
“don’t go on T, you’ll go bald”
“don’t go on T, you’ll be aggressive”
“if you do go on T, get mood stabilizers because you’re gonna be really angry and destructive”
“don’t get bottom surgery, the recovery hurts”
“don’t go on T, i won’t feel safe around you anymore”
“don’t get top surgery the scars are ugly”
“why would you want to be a man? men suck”
so on and so forth. those are all things that i and other trans men i know have been told. and its gross!!
stop saying that. stop telling trans men to not transition. stop telling trans men that they’re gonna be ugly, undesirable, a “traitor”, unsafe to be around, etc. it’s transphobic.
masculinity is a wonderful, beautiful thing. let trans men be masculine. let them be strong, take up space, loud about their identity, proud about their transition. it’s not a moral failing to be masculine. trans men aren’t betraying the queer community by transitioning.
it is not trans men’s job to make themselves digestible and feminine for your comfort. there are men in the queer community. there are straight men in the queer community. there are masculine, tall, buff, bearded men in the queer community. and you might not know that they’re queer at first glance. but they’re queer nonetheless and you should be normal about that. that should not weird you out or make you feel betrayed.
trans men should transition if they want to. they should go on T, get surgeries, grow facial hair, talk about their transition and how happy they are to be a man without people telling them that they’re bad or evil for it, go to the gym and get muscle-y, be stealth if they want to, and so much more.
trans men are not misogynistic for transitioning, they’re not betraying the queer community or women, and their existence shouldn’t make you feel threatened.
mwah i love masculine trans men so much ♡ never ever feel guilty for being a man
im bored, im silly, my verbal responses to reading each of these because why not
1. if you have the genes??

3. if you NEED them ig??
4. no SHIT

6. fuck you
7. fuck you
