- Magpie, they/them, GMT timezone, but my sleep schedule is non existent and I will frequently be active in the early hours of the morning and not during the day
magpieexists on ao3 - header by @applestruda, and profile by me :D
hallo, bonjour, salve, greetings to all. I'll be Magpie on here, with the username magpieexists on ao3 <3
-I am a writer (I say tentatively, having not posted anything in months) and this blog is the unorganised home of many of my thoughts about it. I have another blog for reblogging cool art > thesecondmagpiethatexists , but here is for random rants, writing updates lore about my upcoming fic that's under the yet to be named au tag, and some of my other fics that I have begrudgingly tucked into bed for now.
-I cannot express how much I love asks. please please please please use my box with reckless abandon, and I swear it'll make my day. might take a while to get round to, as I'm not always available, but I will answer eventually.
-I am EXTREMELY ANTI-GENERATIVE AI. Ai's uses in cancer detection and accessibility tools are admirable, but chatgpt and all its cursed siblings can die in a hole, and I will never ever use them or accept the use of them.
-In terms of acceptance, I want you to know that this is a safe place for everyone but bigots. I am part of a lot of groups that face heat from the current regimes, and I refuse to stop supporting any of my fellow humans who have it much worse, so yes, I'm a left wing extremist if you believe that that's extremist. writing is inherently political, as all real art is.
I am against all homophobia, racism, transphobia, ableism, sexism, bullying (this includes cringe culture), ect. I will always try to educate bigots, but direct any vitriol at anyone else and you will be immediately blocked.
-related to that last one, I try very hard to be nice to everyone, so please don't repay me with unkindness. Any hateful comments will be deleted, cause this is my house and I do not accept them here. If I do make mistakes, tell me please, and I promise I'll listen.
-what else do people put in these?
tags that will hopefully expand in the future:
#magpie answers << what it says on the tin. answering asks.
#yet to be named au << shockingly not what it's going to be named forever. my steampunk inspired, morally complex, worldbuilding in the tens of thousands baby.
#magpie rambles << I have used this, but I can't remember what for. hopefully it was entertaining.
#magpie updates << also what it says on the tin. updates about my works, planning, predicted release dates.
#torn paper au << posts about my aforementioned first child, who I love very much and will return to one day. it's clumsy, but I am very attached to the characters, and if you're here from there I am also very willing to answer stuff about it. I'll add more specific tags when I go back.
I just want to watch a film made by someone who truly cared about the story, that deals with grief or trauma in a way that actually feels real, and is based in love that isn't just romance. why is this hard. why is it all corporate.
yes I squish all my feelings into this weird misshapen blob of who knows what deep inside me and stop looking at them. no this doesn't cause any issues. what do you mean they explode randomly.
when talking about efforts to forcibly institutionalize or otherwise wield psychiatric violence against trans people you should be conceptualizing these things not as misuses or perversions of originally well-meaning and necessary processes but instead as natural extensions of the continuum of violence represented by the psychiatric system. this is not a power that psychiatric doctors should hold over anyone, and so long as they do it will continue to disproportionately impact vulnerable groups in devastating ways
kind of feel the need to apologise for my previous post. I had spent a weekend that was supposed to be my safe space constantly coming face to face with someone who really really hurt me, and having to try and be normal about, and the comedown from that has meant I'm not doing great. I was very upset when I wrote it, and i did take it down immediately the next day (sorry if you commented, I didn't read it). I never, ever want my page to be something that triggers people to self injure, (though i also want to say that it's a morally neutral action and an entirely personal choice, I'm not someone who believes that a body is a temple)
I wasn't expecting it to be seen, but it was, and if it made anyone feel worse I am genuinely so so sorry.
you don't have to be scared of your suicidal friends. you don't have to be scared of your psychotic or delusional friends. you don't have to call the police every time someone says they feel like they want to die. you can say things like, "that sounds really hard" and "I'm going to bring you some food and you can tell me more about it"
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
sometimes I feel insane with how much I want top surgery.
like it genuinely conquers my extreme fear of hospitals, I would willingly go back into the medical side of the world if it meant I could have a flat chest
as a survivor of the tti/forced institutionalization i find it absurd that people believe that forced hospitalization is something that is a net positive. sure, you may be preventing someone from injuring themselves in the moment, but then you dump them back out as soon as they are behaving well enough (often times with more trauma then they went in with), with no supports or anything like that in place. then they injure themselves or attempt again, and its a rinse and repeat situation.
today's reason I fucking love the open source community: Ageless Linux, a brand new Debian-based operating system specifically designed to break the law by giving children access to computers that explicitly refuse to track their age.
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
