arsonlupin's strawpage

Hi, I'm Michel but you can call me literally anything. Lupin works as well.

he/she pronouns, tme and white, 27

My special interest is disguises, identity theft, faces and masks, shapeshifting, etc. Closely tied into this is the Arsène Lupin book series by Maurice Leblanc, which I also count as an extension of my special interest.

My current general interests include Professor Layton, my OCs, In Stars and Time, Fallen London, phantom thieves in general, Bravely series, Persona 1-2, Megamind, Deltarune, and whatever else I feel like posting here. Gifs of rain. Random vintage decor. Lolita fashion.

You can DM me or send me asks any time 👍 can also use my strawpage to send doodles.

also I post art sometimes under the tag #my art

too many people have the idea that racism is a nothingburger thing. like. people die from that. it’s not “cancel culture” to call out racism. and if you’re white and you say anything close to that you have some serious self-reflecting to do. idc if you’re a content creator. idc if “it could happen to you.” having a platform on the internet and saying stupid bullshit doesn’t make you more oppressed than the marginalized groups you’re criticizing for being upset

Anyway adults saying “I don’t know isn’t an answer” is part of the reason I learned to lie and bluff so well.

[mx-dorkboy]

Really though, what was that about? I don’t know is a valid answer. It communicates very clearly that the child cannot answer your question, and therefore maybe needs more help understanding the question/situation. Why do you try and push them to give an answer they don’t have? That stresses them out and it makes them feel like they’re being punished for not knowing something.

[logically-asexual]

i thought i was the only one with an “i don’t know” problem because my parents made it seem it was the strangest and also most horrible thing in the world. i genuinely didn’t know and they got angry and that only blocked my thoughts more which meant i didn’t know the answer to anything else.

Also “I don’t know” is a commonly used sentence for children with ADHD/Autism. We DON’T know why we can’t do our homework. We DON’T know why we can’t eat certain foods sometimes. We DON’T know why we forgot to do a chore. It’s really distressing when you genuinely don’t know and people think you’re just lying or indifferent

[wheelie-sick]

I’m also very confident this contributes to the problem with adults being unable to say “I don’t know” when they aren’t familiar with a topic and instead making shit up or giving a best guess. we talk about how adults need to learn to say “I don’t know” when someone talks with them about an important topic (politics, science, etc.) but then we punish kids for saying “I don’t know.” we can’t have both adults capable of saying “I don’t know” and kids being taught that they shouldn’t say it.

the ideal media diet for a child is books and music from at least fifty years ago so they are always out of touch with the references and allusions of their peer group

Your uncle was hunted by puppets that is crazy I actually had two uncles who got hunted by puppets and they got hunted without any smoked meats or puppet knives to defend themselves so I basically know what you're talking about but even better when you think about it and I come from a proud lineage of puppet huntlets but yeah I totally get what you are saying even if you say it less beautifully than I me
