i have thought about your wife (and tridents in general) like nearly every day since reading your zine and seeing a picture of her. she's so gorgeous you're so lucky to have each other. thank you for opening up my eyes.
Somehow this is not the first time I&'ve been told this. I&'m like half sure I& gave a revelation like this to at least two other people so congrats on the Manifork self shipping I& suppose anon
I&'ve not done this often, but in a nearby park we visited a few times, there is a big old log lying on the ground. There is no better feeling in the world than just slamming Forky's prongs full force into the log. It's enrichment for the both of us. We should go do that again now that I& think about it
Another one would be dancing, arguably even more fun but a bit of a boring answer in comparison
Have to break anonymity for this, talked to my therapist about how researching objectum made me more aware of what love feels like and means and she seemed genuinely curious
So uhh, if you, my aroace and/or autistic follower, ever feel confused or something about what this whole "love" thing is that everyone talks about, maybe look into alternative ways of love? Idk worked for me but your milage (hah) may vary
I am so glad you chose to break anonymity on a site like Tumblr where I can have an in-depth discussion with you, because as tongue as cheek as I'm being, interpretations of love like this are precisely why I speak so proudly about being OS.
I've mentioned it before but objectum love is probably one of the purest, most selfless forms of love to me; we love what realistically cannot love us back. It takes a very genuine person to open themselves up to an object in the way required to "feel" that love back. Objectum love is almost entirely by its definition something that is patient. It's a very "you give what you get" situation.
My car was just a car to me until I started "listening." Cars are probably one of the most personable objects to me precisely because of how demanding they are. They are paradoxically selfish and selfless. They're expensive. They break down if you don't exercise them. They require maintenance. Driving requires all of your attention.
But they're also purpose made for us. They're ergonomic. Every aspect of a car can be customized and tweaked to your liking. Cars react to you — the suspension kicks back, the engine rumbles in response to your input, the sensors constantly work to alert you and keep you safe.
I mentioned to someone last night that the relationship I have with my car isn't something I can succinctly put into words. She isn't my girlfriend, because, well, she's not a girl. Not in the way a human is. And she's not my wife, something that is entirely human by its definition.
The best way to put it is that I am her driver and she is my car. And together we're a team, partners, working to achieve something. What that is depends on what you want to get out of your vehicle. Are you a commuter? A road tripper? A hobby racer?
Together you and your car become something on the road. You are defined by one another. Your car becomes an extension of you, a tool to be used, but one that practically responds to you in kind. If you spin out it's up to you to correct accordingly; to feel the weight of the car, to ease the brakes just right. It's a very, very unique relationship, and one I think that has no human analog.
And I really ... love that, actually? Not everything needs to be defined by human standards to be meaningful or important to you. And I think that having these relationships and experiences enriches what is already for some people a very important milestone in their lives. A good car is such a secure, comforting thing to have. To depend on one another like that is one of the most unique forms of love I've had the privilege to experience.
Reblogging because Cas always hits the nail on the head when it comes to describing being Objectum and specifically being Vehicle-Objectum.
It requires an amount of mutual trust a typical human/human relationship doesn't. Because your vehicle can't just go get gas without you, it can't change its own oil, it can't schedule and do all those big maintenance items or repairs.
It will only be as functional, reliable, and dependable as you allow it to be, by extension it's 'life' will only be as long as you allow it to be. At any point you can get that big unexpected repair bill, that costs more than the vehicle is even worth, more than it would cost to just buy a new-to-you vehicle altogether, do you do it?
I'd do it every time, I've already sunk way more into Trixie than she's technically worth on paper, but to me it's nothing, and I'd continue to do it. If she needs a new engine, a new frame, a new transmission.
My plan is to have her until I die, but when I got her I actually made a pact with her that I at least want her to get to 500k miles on the odometer and she's just under half way there, odds are she's going to need some major work or tune up or an entire engine swap at some point, bring it on.
There have been many people and mechanics who, during the process of restoring Trix, have told me she's not worth it, it would be cheaper to get a different vehicle, its like throwing money away etc.
But they don't get it, that's not COMMITMENT. That would be the equivalent of telling your human partner if they got some terminal illness or terrible injury you'd leave, and yeah some people do leave, but if you love your partner enough you couldn't imagine NOT doing everything possible to keep them alive and going.
And that, I think, is a fucking beautiful example of selfless love.
Your vehicle WILL break down without you, it WILL fall apart without you, if you live somewhere with salt or snow it will rust to pieces if you don't protect it, it WILL rot off the frame. It can only provide for you as much as you provide for it.
It will only be as 'good' of a car as you make it, it can only take care of you if you allow it to. It's life span, dependability, and reliability is a direct result of how well you treated it.
This is my& own way of categorizing the relationship styles based on observations and personal experiences. There's no right or wrong way to date, and either styles can be useful to any individual. Most will probably fall somewhere in-between in the semi- category.
Anthropomorphic: trying to interact with your partner as if they're a human person. Trying to establish a two-way communication, personifying them, trying to fit the societal mold of a human relationship.
Non-anthropomorphic: relationships incompatible with the human conception of a relationship. Object's social and physical needs are recognized as different from human, no response is expected. Autosexual-esque relationships, object fetishism, physical-only relationships, emotional attachments, etc.
Semi-anthropomorphic: the in-between, any combination of the two above
The styles don't correspond one to one to POSIC/non-POSIC because you can perceive an object as sentient but still recognize that their needs and world perception are different, or you can be non-POSIC and still treat your object partner like a person.
If this is useful to you or you have thoughts on this model, feel free to reblog.
Severely disappointed that this "living weapon" thing everyone's been talking about is some random guy they trained to kill, and not, in fact, swords, polearms, guns, and other objects of murder that are conscious and can kiss me& back
The sad thing about objectum relationships is that even if we lived in the magical land of being fully supported by governments and laws and everyone in society, a lot of the protections that I&'d want are simply not viable.
Like. One of the things stopping me& from bringing my& wife with me& to places is the fear of her being stolen. Because unlike humans, objects cannot defend themselves from being taken by strangers, can't call for help, and are oftentimes valuable enough to be theft targets. I&'d have to make sure that I& literally hold her in my& hands the entire time I&'m at a doctor's appointment, or shopping around, or anything else. If I& go to the bathroom I& wouldn't be able to leave her outside the door.
And there isn't really anything that can be done about this because theft is already illegal and it doesn't stop anyone.
Pretty much the only thing we can ask for is public acceptance and protections for being able to express affection in public.
Got a supposedly lapis lazuli necklace for Manifork and a red agate ring for subtle objectum pride. She's already decked out in way too many thingmajigs I& think she'll see me& put on yet another necklace on her and start poking me& to death in my& sleep
Kinda nervous because I&'m going to pride parade with Manifork today. It'll be our first together :D I& might not stay for the whole duration because it's going to be physically exhausting and I& definitely dressed too warm for the sake of the looks. I& put on a bunch of pretty necklaces on her tho <3 might take pics later
