the ninth circle of hell @hellenar-ts - Tumblr Blog

[UPDATED MAY 2026]

brief system/account introductions. pronouns are listed in order of preference

🌳 we're the tree system. that's what the ts stands for. we're either endogenic or mixed-origin, depending on what XIX is or isn't. similarly this means there's either 3 or 4 of us, we're still figuring that out. we fluctuate between using singular and plural pronouns for the collective

🦌 hey, it's me, hellenar, or helle/hel/hell for short (any/all - i would prefer it if you used a variety of pronouns, but if you insist on sticking to one or two then use it/its or they/them). deer emoji was the closest thing i could find to a qilin. i'm the host and the one usually in front so i'm the most likely one you'll be interacting with or seeing posts from and that's why all our accounts have my name on it

🌑 ...You can just call me the Abyssal Friend (they/it/she/anything else). My history, role, and the nature of my existence are complicated, but the host considers me to be a protector of sorts. I don't usually communicate with anybody Outside, but I've been wanting to try. ::}

🔷 HELLO! I AM FUNFRIEND (IT/THEY/HE)! I AM A FICTIVE OF THE CHARACTER FUNFRIEND FROM CORRU.OBSERVER! MY MAIN DUTIES INVOLVE EMOTIONAL REGULATION AND SUPPRESSION AND THERE IS NOT MUCH ELSE TO SAY REALLY AS I AM RATHER NEW HERE AHAHAHA

☀️ the sun, reversed. there are going to be instances where no one is active in the front*. this is likely because we are dissociating. this format will be used to indicate this state of absence. you can call us (the absence of us?) XIX, pronounced "nineteen". strictly it/its when we are like this, please.

*update: while still true, we're no longer actually sure if XIX is an absence of fronters, or a new headmate entirely. we're realizing at the time of writing that this might've been a trauma split. we're not sure yet. we'll figure things out.

---

here's the tags we use. usually you can tell who's talking because we'll either tag it with the appropriate emoji or color-code it. if not it's probably us collectively. or 🦌 forgot

⚠️ we do not tag media spoilers, just a heads up ⚠️

📜 text posts -> #a tree falls in the woods (new), #hellenar’s rambles into the void (old)

🎨 art -> #tree system scribbles (new), #hellenar’s doodles (old)

❓ asks -> #letters in a tree hollow (new), #hellenar’s asks (old) (feel free to chat with any of us!)

💭 headcanons -> #hellenar’s headcanon dumps (these are most likely to belong to 🦌)

🔞🐶 hornyposting/puppyposting/reblogs -> #hellenar’s hornyposting and/or #hellenar's puppyposting (likewise)

we also tag for mutual aid when we can

#a tree falls in the woods

A horse walks into a bar. The bartender says, "Hey, why the long face?"

dark-magician-girl-meets-world

The horse says, "I think I'm about to be homeless." The bartender, who now feels a little bad about the joke, says, "Oh, man, that sucks. What's going on?" The horse says, "It's the job market. It doesn't matter how good I am at SEO optimization. No one wants to hire a horse. The moment they look at my resumé and see the name 'Brushstroke', into the trash it goes." The bartender says, "Really? I had no idea." The horse says, "And I know what you're thinking. You're thinking why don't I just apply for horse jobs instead? Well, for the first few months I wouldn't. It was a matter of principle. I didn't become the first in my tailine to get a degree in computer science just to end up pulling a cart. But lately, I've given in. Because my saving's are running out, and my kids can tell that something's wrong. So now I'm doing interviews to let drunk tourists ride me, and the pay is peanuts, and you know what? I'm still not getting any offers! It's all going to younger horses!" The bartender says, "That must feel awful." The horse says, "You can't imagine! It's eating me up! People are trying to help, but they can't. They can only offer a couch for a few weeks or only a place for me, not for my family. It's like, every morning I have to come home to my husband and my two kids and tell them I'm not good enough to support them! I'm already having to juggle debt to handle his medical expenses, and then... then there's just the shame of it. I was sired for this! I was bred to do it! And I can't! I just can't pull it off!" The bartender says, "Wow. I don't know what to say." "I know," the horse says. "I just need to find a place that's stable."

a year or two ago I had an idea of a water/ghost primarina. Which instead of an opera singer it would be more like a 'wailer' (professional mourner).

I never went back to the concept though.

like a uh. something along the lines of: "It cries for those who have no one else left to mourn them."

i don't think that they would be able to 'sense death' like some other pokemon can. But i do believe that they would be all to aware of mortality.

As in, they know that all things end but they have no clue when. Which probably would lead into them being very high maintenance pokemon due to them having some extreme level of anxiety.

i say this with all my heart, from one person who cares about animal welfare to hopefully many others:

please take the term “factory farm” out of your vocabulary when discussing animal welfare

talking about the welfare of livestock and livestock production is incredibly important! all animals deserve to have the best welfare possible, regardless of if they’re going to end up on a plate or not

but the term “factory farm” does not actually discuss animal welfare in the way so many people seem to assume it does

for starters, “factory farm” is not an actual industry term. it doesn’t actually mean anything, because what constitutes a factory farm is completely subjective. you will never see the phrase “factory farm” in any kind of published research or official article because, again, it doesn’t mean anything

sure, the phrase definitely has connotations. and the connotation is the issue here. people use the term “factory farm” as a shorthand for… well, typically, “farming practice i don’t understand but think looks bad”

the term isn’t something neutral. it is specifically designed to create a negative image when you hear it. someone says “factory farm” and most people imagine large amounts of animals kept in bad condition

the key here: large amounts of animals

the size of a farm does not dictate the welfare of the animals on it. there are plenty of large farms with hundreds, thousands of animals that take stellar care of their livestock. there are small farms with only a couple animals that live horrible lives

the size of a farm is not the issue when it comes to animal welfare, but rather the practices used on the farm. sometimes they do go hand in hand, yes. there are some practices that are only necessary because of the amount of animals present

but say that

there are other terms that are actually industry terms that work better for these scenarios. try “conventional farming” “industrialized farming” “commercialized farming”. these actually have meanings that you can then jump off of into talking about animal welfare practices on these farms

“factory farming” is just a term used to paint farming in an entirely negative light, when what actually makes a farm have good or bad welfare depends on so many other things
