19, He/They, EST. Pfp by @/Blondeaxolotol and banner by @/blastcycle This is my base blog, my main blog is itstiredtime, which has my art and writing.

[itstiredtime]

Hi! You can call me Teddy or Tired. Or any variation of my user. Pronouns are He/They (slight preference for He). I am 18+.

I'm a fan of many things, but Twisted Wonderland has taken over my mind for now. The other things I like will likely pop up on this blog too.

This blog is where I shove my writing and art onto. Feel free to interact!

A lot of my favorites things, like characters change often. What I have on my intro is mostly at the moment. I might also focus heavily on one oc and write or talk a decent amount in them for a bit too, before going to another.

Also semi-sharing with Vil. I don’t like the term yume since it’s an oc and not a self insert.

(* Note, while I try to keep my blog mostly family friendly, I ask minors or those outside my age range to be mindful when interacting with me.)

— —

I don’t have many social media, but for things like ArtFight and AO3 I go by TiredTime. (It’s my psude on AO3 after some misunderstandings on my end)

Since this is a side blog also because I can get shy, I sometimes go to anon. I especially did this before I was comfortable with my base being connected (now I don’t care). I usually use 🔆anon.

— —

I have many characters/OCs, most are from TWST but a few are completely original. I would love to answer any questions about any of them.

A lot of them are on @/return-to-twisted-wonderland with the prompt of “a character related to a canon character goes missing as a young child/infant only to reappear at NRC years later.”

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

[savouryduck]

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

[wherethewildcatsare]

If you want to be accepting of mental illness, you need to accept the fact that some people's everyday lives are going to be terrifying to you. That doesn't mean they don't get to talk about it. Stop forcing hurt, isolated people to become even MORE hurt and isolated because you can't fathom toughening up a bit.

[gaydiation-poisoning]

It would kill half the 19-25 year olds online to realize "I can't help it I have trauma" is one of THE quintessential abuser excuses

[gaydiation-poisoning]

Like there is a difference between "My trauma creates impulsive urges and has changed my instinctive reactions to be irrational, I need to relearn shit." vs "I'm traumatized so I Can't Help It and you're not allowed to expect better of me"

Power Assists for Manual Wheelchairs

After seeing another post talking about how little-known a lot of details about power-assist devices are, I thought I'd make this post describing them. There's more types than most think, and each has different strengths and weaknesses.

Rear-mounted / Push assist

Examples include: Alber Smoov, Empulse R90, Permobil SmartDrive (not pictured)

Benefits: Compact and efficient, easy (relatively) to put on and take off, stays within existing footprint of chair so great for tight spaces and indoors. You push and steer as normal, with extra force behind you.

Drawbacks: Most struggle with loose ground and gravel. Folding frames will require an adapter. Smartdrive specifically has faced a lot of tech problems in the last two years including controller recalls, but used to be highly appreciated.

Function note: Braking and steering is still on your shoulders, arms, and hands. Controllers may be small (but multiple options tend to exist for each model). Removal and attaching while in chair requires torso twisting.

Best used: Indoor and mostly level outdoor. Good for going about town and getting up hills or through long days.

Front-mounted / Pull assist

Examples include: Rio Mobilty Firefly, Empulse F55, EZ Ride (not pictured)

Benefits: The best assist for rough terrain and the outdoors. Generally also the fastest, depending on the model. Push-free - motor does all the work. Drawbacks: Take up a lot of space - difficult indoors and on public transport. Not suitable for all frames. Folding frames will need an adapter.

Function note: Requires holding arms aloft for extended periods.

Best used: Long distance or outdoor. Good for getting across grass (with various models of different wheel sizes for different terrain).

Power assist wheels - Push-propelled

Examples include: Yamaha NaviOne, Alber E-Motion, Quickie Xtender (not pictured)

Benefits: Intuitive! They move the same way the chair moves without power assist, and you control everything with your arms and hands just as you would without it. They effectively multiply the force of each push, meaning you can go further with far less force and effort needed. Works on folding chairs. Some models have features that can help with difficult areas like heavily cambered footpaths or safely descending steep hills.

Drawbacks: Manual (unassisted) propelling is harder due to the weight of the assist itself. Some models temperamental about actions like pop-ups and wheelies. Cannot put on or take off this assist while in your chair; many leave them attached.

Function note: Best used to reduce shoulder injury/wear and fatigue; still requires arm function to use, however some models can compensate for single sided weakness with "hemi mode" adjustments.

Best used: Daily life indoors and outdoors; wherever you'd take your chair normally.

Power assist wheels - Joystick-operated

Examples include: Empulse M90, Alber E-Fix, Yamaha NaviGo (not pictured)

Benefits: Controlled completely through joystick, but wheels still usable without assist engaged. Allows both manual propelling and joystick use. Works on folding chairs. Some models have features that can help with difficult areas like heavily cambered footpaths or safely descending steep hills.

Drawbacks: Manual (unassisted) propelling is harder due to the weight of the assist itself. Some models temperamental about actions like pop-ups and wheelies. Cannot put on or take off this assist while in your chair; many leave them attached.

Function note: Joystick positions can be awkward on some models. Propelling requires additional effort when wheels are off.

Best used: Daily life indoors and outdoors; wherever you'd take your chair normally. Sometimes used as alternative to powerchair for people with low-moderate positioning needs who cannot use a powerchair for some reason (such as not having access to a wheelchair-accessible vehicle) - comes with drawbacks.

Other types

In order: Benoit Light Drive, Klaxon Twist, Empulse R10 caregiver assist

Different models of power assist that don't fit the above categories do exist. The Light Drive works by applying force directly to the wheels, and is somewhat similar to power assist wheels to use. The Klaxon Twist is able to be configured in different ways; it can be rear- or front-mounted. The Empulse R10 is not designed for a wheelchair user to operate at all, it is for caregivers; the wheel is further under the chair to stay out of the way of their feet, with a controller mounted on the push handles.

There are many more models of power assist, but this is a broad overview of what's out there to help people understand their options and not think they're limited to just one option, when so many ways to support independence exist.

i like it when trans women and transfem people exist

i like it when trans men and transmasc people exist

i like it when nonbinary and abinary people exist

i like it when intersex people exist

i like it when people with culturally exclusive identities exist

thank you

[thatwasfunnypleaselaugh]

Sorry for asking, but what's the difference between nonbinary and abinary?

[yourlocaloaf]

I think it’s similar to nonbinary, like trans woman and transfem

[thatwasfunnypleaselaugh]

I'm guessing, if transfem is someone transitioning to a more feminine form but not necessarily considering themself a woman, abinary would be something like that? Maybe a binary person that's transitioning into androgynous?

Holy shit my phrasing is awful. Apologies.

[luxiomahariel]

youre on the right track

nonbinary is the umbrella term for all identities which includes identities that could be considered binary-adjacent (like demigirl, androgyne, or genderfluid / multigender identities that include binary genders)

abinary is under the nonbinary umbrella but is itself an umbrella for all genders that arent binary-adjacent (like agender, xenogender, neutrois, maverique, unaligned, etc)

[wreyeder]

I want you guys to know this shit not only makes my life better and easier, and consequently makes me like you more, but WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY could literally save someone's life.

Yes, eye strain sucks. Yes migraines are painful. Yes seizures are miserable. But every single epileptic seizure, to a very small but very much not zero degree, can just kill you. Seizures are horrible and dangerous - with aspiration and head trauma to take into account as well. Even if it's "not that much flashing" or it's "not that long" or "it's only a seizure" or whatever kind of excuse you may want to make - PLEASE think about photosensitive users when you interact with media

Anything with

Rapid change between different colors

Rapid change between light and dark frames

Anything that causes the value of the screen to change very majorly very quickly

Anything very color intensive/stressful for the eyes

Needs to be tagged with things like "flashing lights" "strobing" "eye strain" etc - NOT tags such as "photosensitive" or "epilepsy" bc we use those tags for our community

Please and thank you

[purple--starrrs]

By the way it's like. Really fucked how society's thoughts on epilepsy is just "get over it." Seizures can cause permanent brain damage. Seizures can kill people. Seizures hurt like hell. Allow me to reiterate that seizures can kill people. And you're just gonna casually put flashing lights, a common trigger for seizures in your advertisement, in your animation meme, in your edit, on your billboards, without even thinking about putting a simple disclaimer? That's unbelievable. Your little anime edit could deadass cost a life and you're not gonna put a warning because it's "inconvenient" or "people like that shouldn't be on the internet" (ableist) (the problem exists outside the internet also). Or you'll give insufficient ones like putting it in the captions or only giving like one second before the flashing lights appear, meaning that the trigger's already in motion before anyone who needs the warning can read it and save themselves from literal physical danger.

We need to start commenting under other people's posts about how to properly warn for flashing lights and eyestrain. We need to be emailing and calling companies about their possibly triggering advertisements that could induce seizures. We need to stop tolerating ableism and start speaking up for the more vulnerable.

Also, stop putting epilepsy warnings. That's like saying "warning: schizophrenia" on a post including unreality or "warning: dyslexia" on a post with a typing quirk. First off, the disability mentioned isn't the only group of people that this could trigger. Second, it doesn't truly get the message across and instead makes it worse for those with the disability-- scrolling through the epilepsy tag on Tumblr should get you to view the content of other epileptic people, but no, you just get a bunch of flashing lights and eyestrain, even though you could instead tag for, oh I dunno, flashing lights and eyestrain.

Anyways this Disability Pride, and for every month that comes after, think about epileptic people and others who are triggered by flashing lights/eyestrain. Happy pride to those who experience seizures too frequently due to the unaccommodating and ableist societies we live in!

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

yall gotta be nicer about m/f  bc sometimes u guys like the blandest gay sutff ive ever seen in my life

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

gonna add onto this you all gotta stop acting like m/f is just cishet when bisexual people exist and straight trans people exist.

[maskysgirlfriendmoved-deactivat]

last add on alot of m/f ships of poc or white/poc ship are constantly downplayed for bland white m/m or f/f ships

[majorpepperidge]

#also sometimes u guys r just fuckig misogynist. abt the women in m/f ships. sorry

[silly-sneevleton]

USE MY NEOPRONOUNS IT'S NOT THAT HARD!!!!!! (it/its, chomp/chomps, thing/things by the way!! Thank you ^_^)

[silly-sneevleton]

It's Disability Pride Month!!! This year, remember to include us disabled folk who may not "look" disabled at first glance. Disability is a spectrum that comes in many different forms, including the ones that may not seem obvious. We deserve to have pride too!

You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.

By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.

I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?

[pendragyn]

it's probably from assholes making asks a minefield of trolling/harassment for years with no real blocking ability, which turned people off from allowing asks on their blogs so as a whole the site moved away from it

but now that we do have better blocking, we should try to revive it.

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a “Lego winner” behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for “trophy”, he’d extrapolated a word for “thing you can win”. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, “Mummy? It’s not rubbish. It’s allowed to be a bottle.” - meaning, effectively, “I want this. Don’t throw it away.” But to an adult ear, there’s something quite lovely about “it’s allowed to be a bottle,” as if we’re acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.

My son was about three when he came to me in the middle of the day and said, “Mommy, there’s a knight behind the bush.” I thought he meant a toy knight or something. So I follow him outside and he goes, “Listen. Do you hear it? It’s night behind the bush.” It was a cricket. A cricket was standing in the little patch of shade under the bush, chirping. So, my son saw this dark area with accompanying nighttime sounds and decided, okay, well, that is a night right there. Their brains are incredible.

My little bean knows she’s two, constantly saying proudly ‘I’m two!’ And the other day she saw this very frail old lady who looked one foot in the grave, pulled a face and said ‘oh shiiiit. She’s three.’ I almost screamed.

I live in Korea and have a lot of international friends, and the same is true with language barriers in adults.

since there are people on this site who struggle to grasp these things:

genderfuck trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

butch trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

multigender and genderfluid trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

intersex trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

trans women and fems of color and varying cultures exist and are wonderful

xenic trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

nonbinary transfems who may or may not identify as women exist and are wonderful

agender trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

disabled trans women and fems exist and are wonderful

I think diversity is beautiful, and will never stop celebrating it on my blog; even if it makes some people angry, I care more about uplifting trans and nonbinary people than letting hateful people bring me down to their level. <3

i wish we were able to talk about women's rights without someone mentioning how much they do or don't want to have sex with them. i don't care if you're a lesbian Stop finding worth in women purely from their perceived attractiveness

[qcharlie]

"I think women should not be expected to shave for societal respect / to avoid discrimination" "yeah🤤 i love bush" ok well that's not what we're talking about is it.

[qcharlie]

i hate how many posts about trans women deserving respect always devolve into "I love girldick" or "trans rights but I don't want to date a trans person" because that's entirely unrelated to the topic at hand. you should not respond to feminism with "YESSS I loveeee you because I see you as nothing but a sex object" you people sound like other men I get stuck talking with that end up saying "free the nipple so I can see boobies in public" and thinking they're feminists. why can't we just respect women regardless of your attraction to them or not. why does it need to be brought up in every conversation regarding their rights

[gayvampyr]

it really pisses me off when adults sit there and drill it into kids’ heads that their youth is fleeting and tell them things like “enjoy your childhood while it lasts because this is the best it’s gonna get”. why are you telling children that adulthood is the worst thing they can experience? seriously what the fuck is wrong with you, why are you trying to make them feel like growing up is a fate worse than death? trying to convince them their life is over before it even begins? i’m tired of that shit. because tell my why my 12 year old cousin told me when she turns 30 she’ll be so depressed she’s just gonna cry all the time. what the fuck. kids don’t need to hear that their already stressful and overwhelming lives are never going to get better, that the abuse and lack of autonomy they face is apparently the highlight of their lives. they need to hear about adults who are happy to be alive and happy to have made it to their age. they need to know that growing up rules, it’s a gift and life does not have to suck for them, that they have a future that’s worth sticking around for. this rhetoric is so damaging mentally and i’m about to start hitting the adults who parrot it. i’m sorry you hate your life but you don’t get to dump your issues on these kids. don’t piss me off and leave these babies alone!

[luxiomahariel]

anyway. amab does not mean that someone has or has ever had a penis and testes.

afab does not mean that someone has or has ever had a vulva and a uterus.

stop using an event that happened at birth where doctors put a letter on a birth certificate as indicative of someones genitalia.

[luxiomahariel]

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PERISEX PEOPLE

DOCTORS FUCK UP ALL THE TIME

A COMPLETELY CIS AND PERISEX MAN COULD HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED FEMALE AT BIRTH DUE TO A DOCTORS FUCK UP

A COMPLETELY CIS AND PERISEX WOMAN COULD HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED MALE AT BIRTH DUE TO A DOCTORS FUCK UP

STOP TREATING GENDER ASSIGNMENT AS REPRESENTATIVE OF GENITALIA
