I think leftists need to refer to the United States as a slave (nation) state more often. It has one of the highest prison populations per capita of any nation, slavery is legal as punishment for a crime, and Black people are disproportionately imprisoned and given longer sentences. The prison industrial complex is modern-day slavery
I realize you disagree with anti-endos but why would you not include all intersex people in your intersex drawing project? This seems like the one tine to set aside disagreement for the sake of research.
I am not including bigots in my project. I don't think bigotry towards plurals is a "disagreement." If you "disagree" with my existence as an endotrauma system, then I don't want to collaborate with you. I won't "set aside" my morals.
Our attempt at making how Farosh looks in the game "Ponytown" (we can't draw well, so ponytown let's us create OCs and characters better)
Basing her off of her dragon form. We can see the yellow-green hue on her mane just like the Zonai hair. So, of course, we did add that. (we also decided to keep the dragon tail to show that yes, this is Farosh)
We also gave her the "Charged Armor" set from tears of the Kingdom as that set is based off Farosh. (which is why she seems to have a horn, it is from this armor set)
To match, we also gave her a thunderblade from Breath of the Wild. We gave her some glasses too because... well, no real reason. She just has them!
This (minus the tail and the "ponyfied" look) is what she looks like in our system She's really tall, almost being 7 feet tall. (not including ears)
Anyway, she's really cool. I hope you like our design.
[x] I just want to put them in a room together and observe their dynamic under different circumstances and what-ifs all the while making notes like I am some kind of animal behaviorist.
WHY WRITE AND MAKE FLAWED AND PERSONAL CHARACTERS WHEN YOU CAN JUST MAKE STUFF THAT IS CORPORATE FRIENDLY AND WON'T MAKE CISHET (MEN) PEOPLE UNCOMFORTABLE.
A main baddass evil villain who’s so full of himself, the most brilliant person alive, has an underwater secret lair, in a yaoi relationship with his agent, and he’s fat and he’s not in the least ashamed of it
He’s not comedy relief, he’s not on a feel-good self-love or get better journey, he’s the same evil villain he’s always been just caring less about what anyone thinks of him (except Stone who loves him no matter what he looks like, says or does), dealing with losing most everything in whatever way he feels like it without shame
Unashamedly ripping off Stone’s shirt because he needed more fabric for his coat because of his size
It’s not a focal point of the movie or his character at all it’s just something about him and something about him he’s happy and comfortable with
And I just love that for him and love him
Tbh Ivo Robotnik’s confidence and style gave me confidence in my body more than anything
I cannot believe degendering pregnancy is a controversial topic. idk how it is in the west, but when I went to a doctor, told her that I'm pregnant and I needed to do blood tests and many other things she laughed at me and said smth like: "you a 180cm grownass man pregnant??? honey, pregnancy is for those who are women. if you're a mentally ill trans then you can visit a psychologist instead", and I told her that I'm intersex but she was like "not pregnant, *h slurs* are sterile and can't get pregnant, especially if they're a man like you are." I saw 6 different doctors and I was mocked by all of them, until my partner somehow made one of them listen, and she saw that I really was pregnant and being intersex didn't make me "sterile." if pregnancy was degendered and was replaced with neutral language I'd have easier time accessing healthcare. and now that I did, the doctors are still confused and they're like "yeahhh, they never taught us how to treat defects like you so let us treat you like we would treat *normal pregnancy.*" first of all why are you calling a human being a defect, and secondly, do you treat EVERY pregnant woman you see the same way? there are different kinds of pregnancies. not every pregnancy is the same. different people have different complications and needs. why do you treat intersex pregnancy as something impossible that cannot be helped and monitored. especially for pregnant intersex men (or phenotypical "man", idk how to say it). the medical system makes you feel horrible for being intersex and pregnant intersex man. they'll either deny your healthcare or they'll abuse you and force you into womanhood even when you never lived it.
I wasn't originally planning to add anything, but I need to add more
I'm his partner. I'm also intersex. and my face looks "too feminine", so let me tell you, the medical system doesn't take any of us seriously. while he was being abused for being a pregnant man and they called him a "mentally ill trans", I was getting laughed at for having long hair and for "not looking manly enough." we had doctors telling us to abort the fetus because we would fail being parents. they said that the child needs traditional mother and father, not "mentally ill defected anomaly parents who will make the child ashamed of being born." doctors did everything to make us feel awful about ourselves, however we know how bad intersexism, transphobia and queerphobic in general is in our country and we decided to ignore them. we're getting a lot of hate from people, mainly medical system and they're trying to "fix" us so that the child can have traditional mother and father. Gatsi would become a mother and woman, and I'd be a father and a man. people find it too hard to be normal about male pregnancy, and it's even worse if you're intersex because they'll tell you to abort your baby to your face because "you're a defect who will birth a defected child like you." (and there's additional transphobia because they immediately assume you that you're a "mentally ill trans", and while we both identify as agender it's still sickening how they treat him)
Switching is the process of changing who controls your system's body, mind, or other central resources. A switch can be voluntary or involuntary, and controlling and managing switching is a learnable skill.
Switching isn't a universal plural experience, but when systems do switch, they might experience it in a variety of different ways. It doesn't always feel like "changing places"!
This chart can't cover all possible experiences of switching, but it does talk about some of the more common switching experiences that we've had.
Image ID below the cut; there's also a spliced copy of the image for folks who need a different aspect ratio for comfortable viewing.
[Begin image ID.]
Some (but not all!) systems experience switching. Switching is when the system member in control of your body changes.
There are a lot of different ways that switching can be experienced. It doesn't always feel like "changing places"!
Many nicknamed examples of switching experiences are given:
The light switch, which is the stereotypical idea of switching. One person is immediately and cleanly replaced by another.
The becoming, which is more of a gradient or slider than changing places. One person slowly shifts until they become someone else.
The "two hours later"- sometimes switching can take a long time.
The "when did that happen? Apparently we switched?", where someone has been in control for an extended period of time but only realizes much later.
The possession ("mine now!"), where one system member shoves another out of control to take it for themselves.
The trigger, where a trauma trigger causes one system member to freak out. This prompts someone less affected by that trigger to switch in to handle it.
The vacuum filler, where one person ditches front and someone else is pulled forward to take their place.
"Pikachu, I choose you!", where one system member pulls someone else into control.
The revolving door ("Hello! Goodbye! Hello!"), where system members rapidly trade control of your body in quick succession. If you experience amnesia between system members, then this can be pretty disorienting.
The ensoupening- sometimes, you switch and it's not really clear who you are anymore.
The "what the fuck? What were you even doing???" where you suddenly find yourself in a very unexpected, disorienting, or bizarre situation that you weren't entirely aware was happening a few seconds ago- for example, finding yourself sitting at a desk while your headphones play incredibly chaotic music that you wouldn't pick personally.
