Orientation Thing

I’ve always seen myself as aroace because every time I imagine kissing a guy or girl (even one I have questionable feelings towards) I get grossed out, and I’ve never looked at someone and went “I want that.” And sweating from experiencing social anxiety bc of heteronormative expectation doesn’t count as blushing.

But realizing that I’m nb/agender makes me start to wonder if I’m actually attracted to enbies and the opportunity never arose bc there aren’t a lot of young nb folks out and about.

Since nb folks come in all forms I’m pretty sure it’d be more gender envy than attraction, but who knows? Perhaps I’ll end up in some sort of demiromantic diamoric QPR someday.

Then again my perception of attraction is pretty screwed so if anyone has any notes/suggestions then pls comment lol

If you’re teto and Miku hates British ppl then how does triple Baka exist /j

Pls get it I saw the flag in ur bio plsss (I’m not in the fandom either Please get me Aqquainted)

We kicked miku out and replaced her with Gumi due to mikus racism against British people, every peice of triple baka content post 2009 is either doctored or is an ai deepfake

oh my, the tea is being spilled [into the harbor]

I started hating this binary society the moment I expressed my identity in the form of a dragon. Ppl told me I was being masculine and that my sona “looked like a boy” instead of me, like ??? Since when did dragons get a gendered connotation added to them???

Anyways I have more Egg Moments under the cut to keep my blog nice and tidy

I got so much shade the moment I got to make my own fashion choices.

I wanted to wear my speech and debate suit to hoco, but got stuck in a painfully uncomfy silver sequin dress instead. And I’ve always loved those mandala who have more discreet identities so that they might be judged by their work and words alone.

Felt like my egg woulda cracked sooner if I weren’t so literal. I thought that being nonbinary meant that you had short dyed hair and they them pronouns. Not to mention the other, more harmful stereotypes surrounding nonbinary folks. I swear we’re the vegans of the queer community bc of that one “respect my PRONOUNS, yuh” stereotype

Bit of my sona without their mask

Unfortunately you can’t even blame the media for my being nonbinary bc my egg cracked at Church

you have to consciously unlearn racism and continue to watch for it because it will come out without realizing. because so much of society is structured around it. shrugging and going "i dont care" or "i dont know how else to say it" means you are okay with being racist and hurting other people with how much you dont give a shit about them.

Thiss!!!! Like even when I wrote fantasy lore for smthn, wait this is relevant—

Chat here have A personal example of correcting unconscious implicit racism

I wrote a bit of lore about a fantasy Dryad kingdom where the main sentient species was a bunch dryads whose bark color aligned with their skin, leaves with hair, flowers/fruit with eye color, etc. The ruling class was a group of aspen trees, but the thing is, aspen bark is white. And a member of the main cast was a birch dryad with insecurity about being adopted into a family of aspens.

But since not everybody is an aspen, I realized that would imply that the non rulers would be poc. It’s even worse cuz I based it off of French culture, I was learning about it in school.

THAT smelled like implicit racism to me, so I changed it. (Like, why’d I hafta choose the white tree outta all of them???)

Now the Dryad Kingdom is a lovely Senegalese inspired fantasy kingdom that sits in the forest. All the trees are of the fictional variety so they’re all purple and red and yellow now bc that’s the lands color palette. Almost everyone is a poc bc most tree bark is dark and like why should it have mattered to a thirteen year old? The clothing and food are inspired by Senegalese culture, but other elements are mixed in as well. I included the flea market culture, baobabs, boubous, hm. Think Dakar is like a fishing area so maybe I’ll just create Land Fish to swim in the forests, just to make it all work out. It’s not perfect but it’s a start, and I’ll 1000% be doing more research down the line.

See, this is one of the reasons why media portrayal/representation is important, folks. I want ppl to go to my works and be wowed, not annoyed by fantasy racism. It helps to say my lore out loud or share it with someone before I do anything monumental with it lol

So, yeah. Y’learn something new everyday. If anyone wants to yap more abt lore than just hmu ig

(Ps this was writ at 2am if I am being problematic or yapping too much or need to edit smthn so I can mean what I say then tell me pls I am poo at being slick ok I’m very opinionated abt this topic overall)

This is my rottmnt oc sago, from my renaissance au. He works in customer service for the Time Guardian HQ, also known as the Time Guard Association. He is an intern and about the same level as Renet, but he’s more professional, even if he talks casually most of the time. Basically he’s a laid back type who can lock in when needed.

Magic system things.

Note: It’s an art based magic system where mages awaken after mastering an inherently personal craft. Based on the seven art forms, each type of mage has a form related gift/additional power.
