Definitely Not Papyrus

I have been informed that I should make an intro post.

I'm Paprus. He/Him, minor, further information to be found when we find the Ultimate Question.

I am sci-fi obsessed to the point of insanity.

I'm an atheist, but I think Zarqon is pretty cool.

I have no "DNI" list because DNI lists are against my religion.

I'm only about 2/3rds of the way through "Oathbringer" so please avoid telling me stormlight spoilers thanks

Uhhh what else do I put here

I use the tag "#I read too much sci fi" for whenever I make a sci fi post

"#democracyposting" for when I say something DEMOCRATIC (helldivers) or excessively war-like in a joking manner "#truth nuke" is takes i agree with but did not make (as in reblogs that i think are important)

and "(s/a)<3" is [5/001 CLEARANCE REQUIRED], not like it'll stop you from opening the tag up.

I think thats it idk really.

Also, before someone asks "how do you feel about the Wattpad v ao3 situation and people comparing it to colonization and ICE":

I think this is what happens when you let people think "ACAB includes fandom police" is an acceptable thing to say. That's all.

[creatingblackcharacters]

Do NOT cite to me the ""potential loss" of inclusion and support of stories of color on ao3 with censorship" to me. We are not pawns that you throw up in order to protect your own comfort. There already ISN'T inclusion, support nor safety of authors of color in fandom already. We've already had this conversation. You can't threaten me with the loss of what I already don't have.

[creatingblackcharacters]

As two examples, there was 1) the time that AO3 went down and people invented the idea of Sudani terrorists attacking the servers, and 2) two of the top three Black characters in ship pairings were the radio demon from Hazbin Hotel. I assure you, there is no love for real people of color (and certainly not Black people) from the supporters of AO3 en masse. And I am also a user of AO3! I just think we need to be honest about what's going on without comparing these things to literal police and fascist violence.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

It is very funny how the combination of Muffet being an Iconic Fan-Favorite Undertale Character but also a Kickstarter-Backer-Design that Toby might not be able to reuse in Deltarune and also having a famous Undertale Gag and Gaster Follower tied to he resulted in her of all characters actually kinda Haunting Deltarune’s Narrative….

thinking. 💭 and. it, of course, means nothing that menus are canonized within the same chapter where ralsei’s pronouns in a menu (title) change. Obviously toby meant nothing by this.

am i the only one to associate dark worlds heavily with having online friends? the ability to play in fantasy and be different people, while none of it is "real", pretend to eat food but it doesnt sustain you, go on adventures without really leaving the comfort of your home, talk to your friends in that sphere but they cant actually hang out with you in the "real" world. the way online friendships are seen as lesser, not Real, the way online relationships are talked about as if theyre inherently worse and non viable/non lasting. and how you can express yourself online in ways you cant offline and be more authentic to yourself in spaces shared with people just like you, but is often limited to just that space. its not a one to one allegory by any means but i think the strong parallels are intentional
