Finally doing an intro post because discovered we're plural..

We don't have a collective name yet, MBMB is okay for now

People in this body:

Caleb: Host, he/it, trans man and a SecUnit fictionkin. Will be using 👽

Leon: it/its, genderless snake creature, aro but sexually likes guys. Will be using 🐍

Michael: he/him, the archangel, berrisexual. Sees himself as a cis guy despite the body being perisex afab. Will be using 🦁

Max: he/it , green entity with 8 eyes on his torso. Gay. Will be using 👁️

Sarah: she/her, sees herself as transfem despite body being perisex afab. Will be using 🌷

Zachariah: loaf/loafs/loafself, breadgender but made of water. Will be using 🌊

We do have trauma and symptoms of CPTSD but we're not sure of our origins. Sarah and Zachariah were created during gender crisises and Michael, Max and Leon have been people Caleb talked to when making decisions before out of loneliness.

We're pro-endo, -willo and -tulpa, because we don't think anyone has the right to tell someone they're not real. We're pro-para and anti-contact. We're against all censorship.

[thisis--ableism]

Using reading skill to insult someone’s intelligence is ableism and I’m tired of pretending otherwise.

Einstein was dyslexic (allegedly) so shut up

This is ableism.

The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.

I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.

Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!

But let me tell you a story:

I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.

One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.

At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.

I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.

Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.

The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.

And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.

So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.

So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.

By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.

when i was a kid i had moments of being so fucking diabolical because i realized at some point the best way to leverage power over my family was to do shit that would make everybody late

[eraserheadadult]

our house was in the middle of nowhere surrounded by woods so when i decided i didnt want to wear dresses anymore if we were going to some event & my parents insisted i had to wear a dress i would just go hide in the woods. was so committed i almost made us miss a flight once bc my mom packed a dress in my suitcase

i only promised to stop doing this if my parents got me formal boys clothes to wear which eventually they did. i don't feel bad about resorting to violence bc i asked politely and they said no. proud of 10 yr old me for evil annoying lesbian behavior

[the-prophesied-disco-gay]

5th grade was the last time I wore a dress for school pictures. When my parents attempted to force the issue for 6th grade, I climbed onto our roof and pulled the ladder up after me. My dad borrowed the neighbors ladder. As soon as it touched the roof I pulled it up too. By the time I had 3 ladders they were willing to negotiate, and 2 hours late for work.

I'm turning it digital, probably easier bc I'm bad at bodies and need references

[kokica1]

Bet he didn't see that plot twist coming...

[thisis-suicidism]

non-suicidal people often use suicide in a joking way, like “omg my life sucks i’m gonna kms!” then when someone actually suicidal says something like “oh i’m planning to kms soon” everyone laughs at them, tells them to ‘make it look pretty’ or ‘hurry up and do it’ instead of taking it seriously and helping them.

This is Suicidism. yeah sometimes people tell us it is less stigmatized now, but most of the time they seem to mean that people make jokes about it more, rather than it actually being non-stigmatized.

YOUR MURDERBOT IS SOOO CUTE can i req you to draw ART and murderbot interacting... their moe levels are unmatched....

you're in luck i really wanted to draw the scene where MB carries ART-drone from System Collapse lalala

[a-queer-in-spaceland]

One of my favourite Murderbot quirks is it's absolutely refusal to acknowledge that Dr. Bharadwaj is it's therapist.

everytime im not reading murderbot: "i miss my friend murderbot,,,"

[automatonwithautonomy]

truly wild that art threatened murderbot and then told it not to sulk, to which it replied um actually murderbots don't sulk because we would get horrifically tortured [governormodule.png] and art was silent for the processing equivalent of about ten minutes before it was like ah. ok. i did not realise you were extremely traumatised,
