nat's writing corner

ocs and other nonsense

[natyune-writes]

i know this started out as a writer side blog but honestly my mind has been so preoccupied with palestine that i have seemingly lost the capacity to think about fiction. it sucks. i used to love reading and writing to escape into alternate realms but now i'm stuck in this one and i don't like it here. someday i'll have the mental capacity to think about my writing again but the genocide has fundamentally altered my brain chemistry in a way i can't quite articulate.

Trump trying to make "palestinian" an insult like thats a whole identity of a people who have been disenfranchised for decades. Do you realize how no one cares that he said this FOR THE SECOND TIME like oh haha that's trump for you but like biden doesn't say shit to counter this all this talking points are about vets and not how incredibly racist it is to use Palestinian as a derogatory title he'll just let it happen and won't say anything until it becomes normalized for people to say it which most trump quotes having to do with being racist and homophonic and transphobic are universally spread into mainstream culture

[fairuzfan]

My posts slowly becoming less and less eloquent because like how else can I say these things?? I am just at a point where I'm like, yeah, I'm sick of all this, but hell no if I don't let this pass by without at least pointing it out. Just. It's so normalized that no one bats an eye when it happens they just move on, maybe spend a couple minutes mentioning "that's rude" but no mainstream media mentions that this is completely unacceptable like this is wild. Hatred against Palestinians is so normalized that people do not fucking care when our identity as a people is quite literally used as an insult to a guy who is facilitating the Gazan genocide.

People fail to understand the degree of insane bloodthirst and dehumanization taught to 'israelis' like the one in front of this image. She genuinely sees the woman in the back as vermin and finds fun in tormenting her. This is a core tenet of their culture. They will humiliate Palestinians in whichever way they can on any given day ranging from petty to lethal. Their textbooks have caricatures. They draw unibrows on themselves and dream about Disneyland in Gaza on TikTok. They make fun of dead babies by comparing them to food.

This photo is 'israel'. There is no peaceful conversation with people whose heart's desire is to do this. There is no peace or dignity while the occupation lasts.

[natyune-writes]

i will never fail to remind people that israeli soldiers like these ones strip searched me as a toddler. a TODDLER. what did little baby me have that they were so afraid of???

[khtcthshzjba-deactivated2025081]

It’s so irrational to me how our politicians are still arguing whether or not our countries should give money and military supplies to Ukraine to help them survive war and occupation while none of these people are like “mmhmm maybe we should stop giving those things to Israel to stop them from killing people”.

[natyune-writes]

even more frustrating is how the aid packages are presented together. like, here's an aid package! it'll help ukrainians survive a brutal war. but also you'll be condemning thousands of palestinians to die!

i wish more asexual characters & characters commonly headcanonned as asexual were more… mean lol, for lack of a better word. there’s a lot of characters who get hc’ed as asexual bc "they’re so innocent and sweet!" or "they’re awkward and shy" and even canon asexual characters are often kinda in the same vein.

i want more ace characters who are confident & serious & assertive & loud, who are proudly asexual. characters who are aroace and just sigh when someone tries to hit on them. characters who are asexual and sex repulsed, who clearly & definitively let their romantic interests know "we’re never gonna have sex, you have to decide if that’s a commitment you’re willing to make". asexual characters who are glad that they don’t feel sexual attraction, because it seems to make their friends do wild, ridiculous things. asexual characters who like going out and having fun and dressing for the occasion, and just aren’t interested in a hookup afterwards.

asexuality isn’t a personality trait. asexuality is not related to ideas of innocence or purity and honestly, it’s super fucking weird to act like it is. consider moving away from that very uncomfortable stereotype, thanks in advance.

Imagine calling Palestinians documenting their own genocide on their iPhones powered by a MacGyvered car battery "misinformation" because it hasn't been backed up and approved of by 40 peer-reviewed data analysts from the West that you personally approve of. I can't imagine being that ghoulish and heartless

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

[hauntedchronicler]

#these tests always do shit like this#and its just like why would you phrase it like this when its specifically a symptom to misinterpret this (via @tbhliteraltrash )

[friendlyfrankenstein]

ok hold on actually i rb'd this before with just tags but im going to come back in on this again

any medical diagnostic you will ever undergo does not mean "always 100% Every Time Ever you have this problem". And it sucks because they will phrase it in a way that SOUNDS like 100% Every Time including on the testing for being a person who has trouble with how specific phrasing is supposed to be.

literally the example I always use is I spent way longer without glasses then I should have because the eyesight chart diagnostic is "identify the letter", so I went 'ok the point of this is to do good identifying letters'. Then i realized

they want to know if I can see. Not if I can identify that a blurry shape is an A because of its unique outline.

So i started qualifying my answers with "blurry". Blurry A, Blurry Y, Blurry Z. Now I have glasses.

they do not make this clear. I do not know why. But you can more or less apply this to any medical diagnostic, and if it's a written diagnostic if your answer is 'sometimes' and the only answers are 'yes or no' you put Yes.

Do I have trouble getting out of bed? Sometimes, yes. So the answer is Yes.

Regrettably tests are made for and by non-autistic people and aimed at non-autistic caregivers and medical experts, which isnt how it should be, and makes it one more complicated thing to navigate. World a hell.

[beautypasseslikeadream]

Similarly, if the answer is, "No, because I have a strategy," the answer is really yes. If the question is, "Do you have trouble being on time?" and your thought process is, "Not any more since I started setting four different alarms and putting everything in my planner as starting a half-hour earlier than it really is." the answer is yes, because you've had to use unusually complicated techniques to address the trouble that you have. Having figured out away to outsmart the problem means that the problem was there to begin with.

Having a system for a seemingly effortless-to-neurotypical-people task is a symptom until proven otherwise.

wanting to talk to people is so fucking embarrassing. literally hi it's me again I wanted to have a conversation with you because I think you're fun to talk to. oh god you can just fucking kill me if you want sorry

im tired of how little literature there is where the mc is arab. we are always antagonists in the media. im glad that lately there have been more books and shows and movies being published showing east asian and black and hispanic prespectives but at the same time i cant help but feel as though publishers are just doing the bear minimum so they dont look bad for only publishing stories about white people. i get jealous every time i go to the book store and see so many new releases featuring books written from the perspective of east asian and black and hispanic people. but then i feel even more isolated because arab voices are so often missing. this has always been an issue. i just used to pretend it didnt bother me because, well, media excluded all races, so i wasn't special. but now it feels more intentional that arab stories are missing. i can think of only three books that made it to mainstream that include an arab main character, and two of them i attempted to read and HATED. one was written by a non-arab, and reeked of fetishization. it was supposedly based on a folk tale, but it was so gross and problematic that i never finished it. the other one was written by an arab woman who was raised in canada and clearly had very minimal experience with our language and culture because the author kept throwing in random arabic words to sound cultured, but as a fluent arabic speaker i would cringe at the blatant misuse of my language. its just frustrating. i just want to read fiction thats familiar. i want to be able to get into the head of people like me every now and then. is that too much to ask for?

[natyune-writes]

even more frustrating is anytime i criticize these things im often met with people trying to justify why the media im being critical of isn't that bad or why it is the way it is. but i dont really care about the why. its honestly frustrating. i Know that there are reasons for why it is the way it is, but that doesnt mean i have to like it or be okay with it.
