Intro Post

*I do not have a credit card or cash to spare! Donation asks will be deleted unread! Please keep donation requests out of my DMs!*

Fic writer on Ao3, 100+ works, has way too many unfinished AUs.

Proudly Ukrainian-Canadian and Chinese-Canadian. We don't speak Cantonese, we do speak Ukrainian.

Currently in the DCU fandom(yes, including the DCU fictives), though we have written for BNHA and Marvel in the past and enjoy making crossovers with TTRPGs. Don't ask us to pick just one blorbo- singular favorites are for people confined by binaries.

We have schizophrenia, ADHD and autism, and it shows in our work. Do not expect sanity.

We're also a system, and most of us don't really interact much on here.

#not a reblog is our...well, non-reblog tag. #i added something also has a lot of new content, added as reblogs from others.

#ikibli's bookmark archive contains a lot of resources for various topics.

#the narrator's library has links and blurbs to our Ao3 fics. Some links may be broken.

Common Tumblr users' personal post tags: Linguist Hal Wally Eobard

DNI: We draw the line at "personally advocating for or committing real-world harm, such as harassment, denial of others' identities, denial of others' rights to self-determination, abuse of any form, violence, sexual assault and pedophilia".

This explicitly includes:

pro-censorship, anti-porn, anti-shippers, anti-darkfic, anti-problematic ships(media may reflect and change society and opinions, yes, but this usually turns into harassment and doxxing, fanfic is not mainstream in the slightest, and blanket censorship is a double-edged sword. also, censorship mostly goes after marginalized people writing about their own experiences rather than rich white men writing for Call of Duty.)

anti-plurals(Yeah, uh, singlet is not the only way to exist. Claiming otherwise is denial of people's very existence.)

anti-endos(We know from firsthand experience that it is possible to be plural in a non-disordered or non-traumagenic way. Claiming otherwise is denial of people's very existence.)

anti-mogai, anti-xenogender, anti-neopronouns(Gender is a social construct, and anyone who tries to deny that the less standard genders are real instead of just confusing to them needs to re-evaluate their priorities.)

anti-alterhumans/transspecies/speciesqueer(Alterhumans are real, and their experiences and dysphoria are valid.)

anti-harmless TransID/desirdae(Atypical dysphoria is real, the problem is the communities built around it that encourage real-world harm.)

transintersex/pro-transintersex(Intersex people can be any modality, including trans, and perisex people who want traits that aren't associated with binary mullerian or wolffian anatomy are free to use one of the many other terms out there, such as altersex, salmacian or aldernic. Desirintersex people who are unsure whether they're "intersex enough" are fine.)

transharmful/pro transharmful transition(I don't care if it's a trauma response, being a Nazi in public or committing real-world harm is not acceptable, and intrusive thoughts are something completely different that don't make you a bad person.)

racists, ableists, transphobes, homophobes, intersexists, sexists, TERFs(the standard types of bigotry)

pro-Russia/anti-Ukraine(As mentioned, we're bodily Ukrainian, and several of us strongly identify with that. You can see why we hate the totalitarian dictatorship that is, as you read this, in the process of trying to conquer our ancestral homeland to commit cultural genocide- again- and has outlawed being gay or trans, right?)

MAGA/pro-Trump(People who support the guy who wants to strip us and most of our friends and family of the basic rights afforded to all persons, and who has committed multiple crimes, including election fraud and sexual assault, and is associated with a notorious sex offender, must be assumed to be on board with all of the above.)

In general, anyone who is knowingly bigoted or thinks it's acceptable to harass someone over their identity or preferences.

Otherwise, we're not going to blanket ban entire communities, beliefs or identities, even if a lot of people under that umbrella decided to be assholes, at least until we have done more research.

Note: If you are a member of one of these groups and can interact civilly, feel free to interact with our posts. Feel free to tell us why we're wrong about putting you on the list, and then be prepared to be ignored completely, have your arguments deconstructed logically in fair debate, or blocked unceremoniously, depending on the current fronter and their mood. Also, feel free to keep your views to yourself and just hit like or reblog.

We do not consider transabled a harmful transID. This is for several reasons. First, it is ableist to consider disability an inherently harmful and negative state, and this is a core assumption made by people assuming that making someone who is abled disabled is inherently unethical. Second, I fail to see how transabled people existing is inherently ableist rather than just kind of an uncomfortable concept, especially for abled people. If you have any actual, non-tautological evidence, we'd like to see it. Third, disability is something that people already acquire as adults. Fourth, BIID is a medically recognized condition, and there are records that clinical outcomes for BIID have been improved by disability-inducing surgery, so the gender-affirming surgery analogy isn't really an analogy.

This list will be continually expanded and modified as we do more research.

If we block you, there is probably a reason, and you are not entitled to it.

It's always hard reading about the violence committed to steal America, but the buffalo is always like... That's some inhuman shit. Everyone is burning in hell for that one. Wdym there were thirty to sixty MILLION buffalo in 1800, and by 1900 there were only 300 left. THREE HUNDRED. Do you know, can you fathom the amount of purposeful cruelty required to kill NINETY NINE PERCENT of a population of an animal, just to spite and murder the living Native people who existed and thrived with them? All this, for White Power and Entitlement?? Sickening.

[badgersandbees]

Every single non trans woman who proclaims to be an ally absolutely needs to be posting about how goddamn transmisogynist staff is.

Because when trans women dare to speak up for themselves, Tumblr nukes their blogs.

We need to be fucking loud about this, daily, because Tumblr staff is specifically targeting and deleting trans women who are not breaking ToS and who often have fundraisers up FOR THEIR SURVIVAL.

By deleting these blogs repeatedly, Tumblr staff is saying loud and clear what they hope happens to these girls.

Are y'all okay with that? Because if not we need to be posting about it more because we have seen by now it's incredibly fucking unlikely this sites moderation will delete our blogs for it because we are not trans women

Tumblr staff and CEO Matt Mullenweg want trans women in need to not be able to post their fundraisers, meaning they are okay with these women dying.

[pocketkris]

frowns. i don't like it when krusie/kriselle get referred to as yuri. its no different from referring to kerdly as yaoi

[pocketkris]

referring to a non-binary character, that has been misgendered as male previously, with feminine terms doesnt "counteract" or "balance out" the misgendering. its not better than using masculine terms. its still misgendering

[identityarchitect]

if people want nb inclusive terms:

trixic = nonbinary person attracted to women; nblw, e.g. "kriselle is my favourite trixic ship but i am partial to krisuselle"

toric = nonbinary person attracted to men; nblm, e.g. "i don't usually ship toric ships but i have such a soft spot for kerdly"

enbian = nonbinary person attracted to nonbinary people; nblnb, e.g. "i love enbian ships so i crackship kris/chara. go forth and kiss knife wielding enben"

diamoric = nonbinary attraction that doesn't conform to a same/opposite gender dichotomy, can be used to describe relationships including at least one nonbinary person, e.g. "kralsei is such a cute diamoric ship"

remember, YOU have the power to make inclusive language more commonplace! the language exists, so go forth and use it as much as you can!

[audiovisthewritingwhiz]

@thisisexorsexism

WE ARE NOT "A COUPLE OF THINGS", EITHER! WE ARE DIAMORIC, TRIXIC, ENBIAN, TORIC, WHATEVER THE FUCK, STOP MISGENDERING US! STOP MISGENDERING KRIS!

[PT: We are not "A couple of things" either! We are diamoric, trixic, enbian, toric, whatever the fuck, stop misgendering us! stop misgendering kris!]

[thisisexorsexism]

Binary folks: What's the non-binary equivalent for yaoi/yuri? yaori?

Me: We have trixic (enby/women), toric (enby/men), enbian (enby/enby), and diamoric (enby/anyone). Please don't use yaori to refer to diamoric ships as it is not a word that came from the QL scene like yaoi and yuri did and was made up by people who don't know anything about QL and is just butchering a language.

Binary folks: Um AcTuAlLy [insert whatever bs excuse to not use non-binary centric terms for nonbinary ships]

Why do people have such an issue with non-binary terminology? We have our own words USE THEM!!!

this is exorsexism

[apple-temp]

@ikibli

[ikibli]

okay so basically there is no precise equivalent because Japan doesn't have a genre for enban/enban romance/porn?

because. like. I already knew about diamoric.

[decompose1]

what if we stopped making Ambiguously Brown Character and started actually thinking about the race and ethnic features of the characters we made? what if instead of drawing a character that looks like you painted a white character brown, we started varying noses, lips, eyes, and hair? just a thought

[creatingblackcharacters]

I have a suggestion

[ikibli]

…question. how do all of you use it/its pronouns? (as in what kinds of entities do you automatically assign it/its pronouns to before being corrected?) for me, it/its gets automatically assigned for:

inanimate/abstract uncountables

singular inanimate/abstract countables

animals(which do not understand human genders, even if their species has a similar sexual dimorphism to humans), though sometimes specific individuals will be he or she if the owner(s) expresses a preference or the veterinarian-assigned sex is known

very young human children(which are too young to possess a gender), though sometimes specific individuals will be he or she if the parent(s) express a preference

Plastic Straws are Vital for Disabled People

Neurodivergent Lou

[sweetpea67]

[ID: Large black text that reads “Plastic Straws are Vital for Disabled People…” with an image of a plastic bendable straw and the url @neurodivergent_lou at the bottom. End ID.]

[ID: Moderately large black text that reads “Plastic bendable straws were originally targeted to disabled people”. Beneath it in smaller, centralized text is “In 1947, plastic bendable straws were targeted to hospitals so that disabled people could drink while lying in bed. The bend made it easy for the straw to be positioned in the mouth and stay there. They also helped to prevent people from aspirating.” At the very bottom is the url @neurodivergent_lou. End ID.]

[ID: Centrally formated black text reading “As of October 2020, plastic straws were banned in England except for exceptions (although many places still do not have plastic straws available even for those that are exempt). This vital tool is then not available for the disabled people who need it.” At the bottom left-hand corner is the URL @neurodivergent_lou and at the bottom right-hand corner is a red circle with a diagonal line through it that indicates that something is prohibited. End ID.]

[ID: At the top is text that reads “Lots of disabled people need plastic straws in order to drink and take medication. This includes but is not limited to people with:” followed by ten bullet points that read “Seizures”, “Muscle Weakness”, “Tics”, “Tremors”, “Sensory Issues”, “Paralysis”, “Poor Motor Control”, “Compromised Immune Systems”, “Limb Difference”, and “Pain Conditions”. In the bottom left-hand corner it says @neurodivergent_lou in small text. In the bottom right-hand corner is a cartoon image of a pill bottle with some pills scattered around it. End ID.]

[ID: The words “Equally, other types of straws may not be accessible for disabled people. For example, paper straws are not positionable, can cause sensory issues, dissolve relatively quickly (some disabled people may take longer to consume drinks) and can be a choking hazard if paper dissolves away.” Then there is a paragraph break, followed by the words “Similarly, silicone straws are hard to sanitise, are not positionable and can be an allergy risk.” At the bottom of the image is @neurodivergent_lou. End ID.]

[ID: Text reading “This isn’t to say that not using plastic straws isn’t important. But instead, it is about recognising that plastic straws can be vital and life-saving for disabled people.” At the bottom of the image is @neurodivergent_lou. End ID.]

people don't seem to realize that the problem isn't what material the disposable cutlery is made out of, it's that people treat cutlery as something disposable

the advantages of plastic straws are: you can make them bendy(sometimes a genuinely necessary thing for disabled people so that they can drink), and you can wash them.

like. seriously. you can't wash a paper straw, it just melts(which is kinda the point iirc), but a plastic straw can be re-used hundreds of times unless someone throws it out.

the main barrier to re-using plastic straws and cutlery is mostly that "helpful" teachers and coworkers and friends and family members will throw them out "for you" when you store them to wash later, or even actively encourage you to throw them out after you state "no I'm going to take it home to wash it". though some straws are just low-quality enough it's not really worth it.

people seem to forget that allergen safety means clearly labelling every single ingredient instead of letting corporations get away with only listing "spices" or "natural flavor" or "artificial color", or campaigning against certain common allergens.

you can have an allergy to literally anything under the sun, including the sun.

a short list of things real people I know have been allergic to, that are *not* a "major allergen":

oregano

one specific red food dye

artificial sweeteners

tomatoes

shellfish

gluten

zinc

cherries

uncooked apples(but not apple pie or applesauce)

cashews

kiwi

I've also heard that water allergies are a real thing(not that I know anyone who has one).

you cannot stop allergies just by removing common allergens from everything.

the only way to ensure everyone is safe is to minimize the size of ingredients lists and label absolutely everything that might be in a product, with as much specificity as possible.

[ikibli]

oh yeah we can't forget the fact that birch allergy means you're allergic to re-usable cutlery

when you sit down with a meal that has a main dish with sides, do you primarily go between the different foods or do you eat all of one food before moving to the next?

- hop from food to food randomly

- eat all of one food before going to the next

- depends/nuance/bald

I’ve been called weird ever since I was little because I eat all of one food before eating the next :(

A batfam fic where, for some reason, the bats are trying desperately to lose money. They are trying their best to lose that billionaire status. Unfortunately, no matter which risky ventures they take or how many charities they donate to, they end up making even *more* money.

Examples:

WE decides to maximize employee benefits - luxury free meals, 6 month paid paternity leave, free healthcare, etc. This drastically increases profit through employee efforts

Fully paid infrastructure efforts increase people's ability to go to work and shop

"Investments bound to fail" being wildly successful

The silly plan to "venture into outerspace markets" accidentally becoming the most profitable venture to date (tourism, food, resources, entertainment, etc.)

Proper Brown Skin Lighting: ft my arm

In da club, in da dark parking lot, in da grass at sunrise, in da direct morning sunlight 👍🏾

What didn't happen: Ice changed skin colors!!! 😱😱😱 Nope. I'm the same exact shade of brown in every single one of these images, taken throughout this weekend.

What did happen: lighting and color reflected off my arm! I am The Constant, I am The Work of Art- the lighting must work with ME and MY skin color. Same as you, a respectful artist, ought to be doing with your Black characters!!

transmascs : hey so our lives are closely tied to women's rights, we are affected by legislature restricting reproductive rights, and we would not be able to express ourselves at all if it wasn't for the work of feminists in the last two centuries and -

TRFs : transmen need to shut THE FUCK UP about feminism it's not about YOU birthday boy, check your privilege #bombthatkillsallTMEs #transfeminism

[selene1311-f]

Gonna piss off other transfems even more now. Yall, I think transmascs genuinely have a good case for having more stake in feminism than us.

Reproductive rights and body autonomy are no fucking joke, and the patriarchy wants nothing more than to force them to be women. Cause, if people can just stop being women, if they can just be men, then the patriarchy has no real power.

The liberation of trans men is the final boss of the patriarchy, proof that people can be free to simply walk away from what it has assigned to them.

Liberating trans men is how we liberate us all; we have to stand with them, for our own survival just as much as theirs.

We can't lose them; I don't know why so many of my transfem sisters can't see how important transmasc people are, but know that if we lose them we are all damned.

If you won't stand with our transmasc siblings out of love, I frankly can't understand you; but if standing with them has to be selfish, then know that our only hope of being free to live our own lives rests with them just as much as us. You can't be free without them; if for whatever gods forsaken reason you can't love them, remember you need them.

"Masculinity is always rewarded in society!!" In the 1900s, women could get lobotomized for anything that was deemed as "masculine behaviour", you dared to even wear pants? lobotomy. In many of these cases doctors recognized that lobotomies would result in either the woman dying or becoming a vegetable, enough that they would be refered to as "a veritable household pet". Lobotomies were done for multiple reasons, but one of them was for being masculine.

If by "rewarded" you mean "getting your entire functions reduced to nothing because you were forced to recieve a nail through your eye to destroy your frontal lobe and most likely dying in the process" then yes, masculinity is "rewarded"

[winged-thinged]

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

[winged-thinged]

Oh god oh no people are reblogging this again without the context that it's speaking back against the Christian teaching that love is abnegation and that true love means emptying yourself of your own desires, suffering, and submitting yourself to death, even death on a cross.
