The Lives and Times of Kitsune Took

I am a lover of things. Many, many things. 20 years old, she/they, asexual, living in Germany. I draw things sometimes IF YOU KNOW ME IRL, GO AWAY. NOW.

Right ho my peeps, ‘tis time for another tumblr break, the most extreme I’ve had so far, just short of outright deleting my blog (which tbh I’ll probly never do there’s a post or two I don’t wanna lose). In any case, expect me when you see me.

Cheers.

Whahey. Hi.

I am not back. I am actually never going to come back lol! I’m livin’ my life. And believe me, turning my back on tumblr was The. Best. Decision. of my life.

Honestly, tumblr was awful for my mental health. Especially when it came to the topic of mental health.

But, it’s  been seven months, I’ve not been active on tumblr throughout the whole time and my mental health has drastically improved. I’m not worrying about random shit that only happens here anymore. I’m not in this fucking awful quagmire of negative bullshit anymore.

It was also a huge time waster! and with my uni studies getting ever more important and my real life getting ever bigger, so to speak... yeah. Good thing I can focus more on my real life.

That’s the thing, isn’t it? It’s real life. Real life is where the real stuff happens, the stuff that matters, the stuff that you should work at. Be it negative or positve. Or in-between. But in-between is another thing tumblr doesn’t know how to do.

I stand by the original post. I ain’t ever gonna delete this blog, just like I won’t ever throw away my journals from years ago. There’s stuff on here that I don’t want to lose. And, in a way, I like looking back every now and then. Looking back shows you how far you’ve come.

All this is to say: Bye. I won’t be back. Life wants to be lived.

Cheers.

“I let you live here rent free!”

YEAH, BECAUSE I’M YOUR CHILD. YOU MADE ME. I AM YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I WOULD NOT EXIST IF NOT FOR YOUR RECKLESS GAME OF GRAB-ASS. I AM YOUR FAULT. YOU HAVE TO– TO AN EXTENT –TAKE CARE OF ME. I DIDN’T ASK TO EXIST. I HAPPENED BECAUSE OF YOU. THIS IS ALL ON YOU.

If you want to live with a rent-paying roommate, get a roommate. Don’t fucking have children. Don’t have children. Because children are SEPARATE HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILL ALWAYS NEED FOOD AND SHELTER UNTIL THE DAY THEY DIE.

[spitegoblin]

I’m just so, sooo pissed off about the West’s attitudes towards adult children. “Time to move out!” Bitch, to where?? With what money that I’m not already spending on groceries and essentials and giving to my parents for bills?

“I feed you and take care of you, and you don’t pay me!” I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY MY MOTHER AND FATHER TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY

[spitegoblin]

CHILDREN ARE A LIFETIME DEAL, YOURS AND THEIRS!!!

THEY DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN!!!

DON’T GUILT YOUR CHILD FOR BEING ALIVE WHEN YOU’RE THE REASON THEY EXIST!!!!!!

[thatawkwardtinyperson-deactivat]

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PARENTS WHO FUCKING ADOPT CHILDREN TOO.

Guys, y’all need to realise that language and especially semantics isn’t a 100% exact, never-changing monolith. There are words that are nearly impossible to succinctly define or to define at all. (Go on, try it! Define “soft.” Or “normal.” Or “colour.” Using only five words each.) There are words that have multiple definitions which are literal opposites.“Chuffed,” for example, look it up. There are concepts with multiple names. “Couch.” “Sofa.” Or “Soda.” “Pop.” Language evolves and changes, both grammar and meaning. That’s why we don’t use “thou” and “thee” anymore. That’s why “wench” is an insult now, when it originally just meant “woman.” Words disappear from vocabulary. New ones are created. Not to mention idiolect, which is an individual’s way of speaking, or dialect, or ethnolect. It’s why we have “Hood” and “Bonnet,” and “Trunk” and “Boot.”

Language is messy as fuck, guys. Loosen up a little.

why do black people use you in the wrong context? such is "you ugly" instead of "you're ugly" I know u guys can differentiate, it's a nuisance

you a bitch

[rsbenedict-deactivated20181216]

It’s called copula deletion, or zero copula. Many languages and dialects, including Ancient Greek and Russian, delete the copula (the verb to be) when the context is obvious.

So an utterance like “you a bitch” in AAVE is not an example of a misused you, but an example of a sentence that deletes the copular verb (are), which is a perfectly valid thing to do in that dialect, just as deleting an /r/ after a vowel is a perfectly valid thing to do in an upper-class British dialect.

[pigeonstalking]

What’s more, it’s been shown that copula deletion occurs in AAVE exactly in those contexts where copula contraction occurs in so-called “Standard American English.” That is, the basic sentence “You are great” can become “You’re great” in SAE and “You great” in AAVE, but “I know who you are” cannot become “I know who you’re” in SAE, and according to reports, neither can you get “I know who you” in AAVE.

In other words, AAVE is a set of grammatical rules just as complex and systematic as SAE, and the widespread belief that it is not is nothing more than yet another manifestation of deeply internalized racism.

This is the most intellectual drag I’ve ever read.

A few not-as-nice reminders about PRIDE: 

Pedophiles are not LGBT, no adult engaging in a sexual relationship with a minor gets to call themselves LGBT and if you think they do fucking block me and throw yourself into the sun

TERF rhetoric is toxic and stupid and no one needs your transphobic ass any time of the year, much less the time of year when trans people should be taking pride in their identities (which is also year round) 

It is not, under any circumstances, okay to “out” someone. I don’t care if you think your intentions are good. this can destroy someone’s life. A young person could end up homeless. Or dead.

POC belong at PRIDE just as much as everyone else (we would not have this without black trans women, show some respect)

You don’t know if the “apparently straight” couple who you see at PRIDE is composed of two straight people - one could be bisexual, one could be asexual, both could be, I mean, like, don’t be that person

Or they could be there to support someone who might’ve otherwise been alone, like, just, don’t be that person who polices sexualities and shit okay

Bisexuality, pansexuality, and polysexuality all exist and deserve to be respected

seriously it’s completely possible to be attracted to two or more genders or be attracted regardless of gender and our identities don’t hurt anyone 

Just because you are LGBTQIA+ doesn’t mean you aren’t capable of being an asshole, and if you use “I’m gay!” as an excuse you need to grow up (this applies year round)

Asexuals and aromantics belong at PRIDE just as much as any other LGBTQIA+ individual, I really don’t care how many letters are in the “alphabet soup”, you have a valid identity 

polyamory is when three or more people engage in a consensual relationship, not when one person is with someone else behind their partner’s back 

polyamory is not superior to monogamy or vice versa 

buying PRIDE gear for your sexuality/gender doesn’t mean you’re selling out or giving into capitalism, if it makes you happy do it and don’t let people shame you for it

and honestly like isn’t it good for it to be normalized? I am all for Target having a PRIDE section, that’s amazing

Not everyone is okay with using the word or calling themselves “queer”, if they’re not okay with it don’t call them that 

bisexuality is not transphobic and pansexuality is not biphobic 

stay safe at PRIDE - don’t accept open drinks from strangers, ever, no matter what, people can be awful anywhere you go, just stay safe 

you don’t have to come out just because it’s PRIDE month, if it isn’t safe for you (i.e. you’ll be on the streets, homeless, etc) don’t pressure yourself 

that’s all I have, I’m sure there’s probably more

True Bi/Ace solidarity is both being able to make the joke “I like my men the way I like my women.” despite having vastly different punch lines.

[glumshoe]

The stripes on the original rainbow Pride flag stood for traits and values, like “healing”, “serenity”, and “art”. I think it’s ultimately a bad idea to try to create pride flags with stripes that each represent specific identities within a community - concepts about group identity change over time, and in-group bickering about who does or does not belong can eclipse unity and solidarity. 

[glumshoe]

for example here is my design for a lesbian pride flag

the plaid represents the value of using an axe, the generic botanical print represents liking the idea of having houseplants, the road represents having mostly long-distance relationships, the stars represent going to space and being successfully advertised to, and the orange represents having anxiety and Rebel fighter pilots

How do you find time to write?

[kitsunetook]

1. Always bring pen and paper wherever you go, or install a good writing app on your phone so you can write on the go

2. Make time, even if it is just a few minutes a day
