☆ It's Finn ☆

Hey there! My name's Finn, but you can call me Percy or Cynthia. I go by all pronouns (including neos), with a slight preference for he/it.

Hi! We're the Terrarium Collective, a median and mixed origin system :]. I, the host/stream of consciousness, have a lot of names, but my current favorites are Cynthia, Percy, and Finn. Collectively, we go by any and all pronouns, which includes neopronouns (pretty much any you can think of). We like Subnautica, Little Nightmares, Outer Wilds, and much, much more. We love pings/@ on all our blogs :)

I sometimes make reblog chains of gameplay commentary. These chains get very long very fast, so if you don't want to scroll past a ton of them, I recommend filtering the tags "Cynthia's outer wilds playthrough," "Cynthia's rain World playthrough," "Cynthia Plays Portal," "Cynthia Plays Portal: The Sequel," "Percy Spreads The Red Plague," and "Percy Plays Little Nightmares 3"

Check out my second blog @feral-cat-in-an-alley if you're into OCs, stories about Amphibians as cowboys, and crossover fics. Or, if you're more interested in seeing our system, alterhumanity, and roleplay blogs, go check out the pinned post for @the-terrarium-collective :]

Look at @subnautica-polls for Subnautica-related polls, @official-bart-torgal-post for Bart Torgal Posts, or @subnautica-confessions to share your Subnautica-related thoughts!

If you're interested in Outer Wilds roleplay, try @ask-topaz-thehatchling!

We're also on Wattpad! Find us @/Cynthia_Da_Sorceress. I make fanfiction about my interests and my own stories (though admittedly, it is. Extremely cringe. Even to us.)

Please, feel free to ask for info about my OCs and AUs, I love talking about them

Do not send me fundraisers for anything. I do not have the means to support your cause, and seeing them causes my anxiety to flare up. This is not to be insensitive, and my best wishes and prayers go out to you, but I cannot help you. From here on out, if you send me a fundraiser, I will assume you are a bot.

God I hate that Spamton is actually like. Plot relevant. Can I dump him in a ditch already

Sometimes I remember that "ambient pain" isn't something most people experience and I get. Kinda jealous tbh

i am looking at subnautica two so longingly and begging them to please mention the degasi. please unknown worlds. even just a passing mention in a pda entry about 4546b would be nice

Was. Was this meant to go to @subnautica-confessions

Fairly certain I've posted this before but whatever

I like to believe that Hearthians are generally pretty strong swimmers who can usually at least keep their head above water, and that Hatchling is an outlier. That kid sinks like a rock and nobody understands why

[percytheperidot]

Taking care of myself but I only have a vague idea of proper self care so I assume eating two tortillas, drinking a coke, and laying on the couch for five minutes is an adequate break from three hours of making masks

[percytheperidot]

Also can I just say that 1,200 is not enough calories. Like I'm sorry Dr. Lianghai but 1,200 is not even the recommended minimum for the average adult, let alone adults that are going to be swimming and hauling resources most of the time.

"Remember: 1,200 calories a day!" Do you want them to starve.

Y'know what I'm gonna say it, Sans is actually a pretty good guy in Deltarune. Yeah yeah, "befriended our mom" jokes and all that, but seriously.

Toriel is a single woman living with nobody but her teenage kid. Her tires were recently slashed with no clue who did it, and she's home alone.

What does Sans do when he comes over? He plays loud music, keeps the lights on, and distracts Toriel from the admittedly scary situation she's in! He let her know that her kid was with their friend, safe and sound.

And he stocked the fridge! Took out the trash! Cleaned the kitchen! He didn't just show up to party with some teenager's mom, he made sure that a vulnerable person in his community was safe and taken care of.

Did. Did they call 4546b "Ryley's World" or did I miss something

[percytheperidot]

Okay you know a game is good when you find the settings menu interesting

[percytheperidot]

Okay so I haven't even started playing Subnautica 2 yet (got busy, never had time to download it yesterday, it's downloading now) but I'm just imagining. Through some weird shenanigans. Ryley and the Subnautica 2 protagonist(s) get to interact, and the 2 protags find out that the "awesome survivalist who conquered a hostile ocean planet" is actually a wet cat of a person who shines a flashlight in their eyes and shocks themself with a repair tool

[percytheperidot]

Oh boy! My power went out while it was downloading, and when I got the power back on and clicked the continue download thing it jumped to zero percent for a second. I almost committed several crimes :D

And now, a comic about experiencing trans joy through creation. Take it away, Mettaton!

Spread the love! Even a spammy long nosed doll deserves a chance to feel like himself.

This comic got a little long, but I do have a bonus lol (and some yapping)

Taking in a lot of the themes about creation in deltarune and thinking about Pink in chapter 5 had me thinking about her cousin and how he’d want to get in on making his dream come true as well (who wouldn’t?). It would be nice if MTT and Tenna could come to Castletown with Pink in chapter 6, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

I puzzled over drawing Pink as another ghost in the early part of the comic since ghosts in utdr lore dubiously can’t un-possess a vessel once they’ve chosen/bonded with it, and post-ch5, she’s possessing Asgore’s Mew Mew figurine, BUT for the sake of emoting/gesturing and showing her and MTT coming from the same place, I just had her as her ghost form. One last “HEY GUYS IM MOVING. GONNA GO LIVE AS MY REAL SELF BYE” before she’s gone. Gotta get her goodies, you know? And take her depressed cousin with her.

When MTT and Ralsei meet in the comic, I had Ralsei ask his name and pronouns, not only because it’s a first introduction and Ralsei is polite like that, but because he’s sensitive to the emotions of the Lightners. I also just like to see this greeting expressed in media because it should be so normal and natural, but with certain people in my life (even not explicitly anti-trans people) it turns a conversation tense or awkward. There’s nothing weird or wrong with asking someone’s preferred name and pronouns! And as a trans person, it doesn’t feel awkward to receive the question if it’s out of genuine respect and curiosity to get to know me. In fact, (like MTT in the comic) I’d be pleased to be extended that question in an introductory conversation. It’s no big deal to answer, just like answering “what’s your name?” Or “what are your hobbies?” It’s just another part of me, my gender identity. Nothing to be afraid of!

As for trans Ralsei, I see that trans coding within that goat… I don’t know what his gender identity is (since it seems even Ralsei has not figured that out about himself yet), but it’s there. Maybe we’ll see him explore more about himself, what he likes, who he feels he needs to be, and who he wants to be. And maybe Ralsei will realize she’s a girl or that they’re nonbinary (my personal headcanon leans Ralsei demigender—demigirl, demiboy, idk. But some kind of in-between) But that’s for Ralsei to figure out! I can only speculate… Whatever happens next for Ralsei, I hope he comes to love himself as an individual.

And Spamton. He enters the comic since he also has ties to MTT, but like with the rest of his life, he’s excluded, and worse, defeated by the reality of his world. It’s fiction, all of it. You might be able to draw the perfect you, might be able to imagine a body that would perfectly align with who you really are, but it’s all imaginary. An image. A dream. He’s trans despair (at least in this comic) for that discrepancy between body and mind that will always remain in some degree. His despair is the same as Mettaton’s despair, who narrates alongside Spamton’s visuals. They’re in unison there because they’ve both experienced the same feeling, only now with the help, care, support, and love of his community, Mettaton is able to feel more like himself—the true him through creation. It might be an imaginary Dark World, but it came to life with the love they all share, with the excitement they bring together to see Mettaton’s dream come to reality. When he leaves Castletown, he might just be a drawing of a fancy body, and Pink may just be a figure of a catgirl, but everyone they love helped them feel more themselves than they have their entire lives. And that made their real selves a reality.

And THAT’s why you share the pen with Spamton. He may be little and weird, you may not know him very well, but wouldn’t you have wanted that olive branch extended to you? Wouldn’t you have wanted someone to hand you the pen and tell you “I see you.”

So yeah I’m trans and I love Deltarune. White quill of hope? Hell nah. Me and my homies got the black pen of being 🔥TRANSGENDER🔥
