some things about me: i am Jewish, white, bisexual, an anti-zionist, USian, and a transsexual that uses he/him exclusively.
iām a horror fan and often find dark subjects interesting to explore in fiction. this means that sometimes i talk about media with themes around stuff like violence, abuse, SA, etc on this blog. filter that out if it bothers you.
if i say something fucked up without realizing it, i want to know. feel free to send me an ask about it.
enjoy your stay š
general stuff:
this is a bit of a smorgasbord blog
relevant tags:
#myscrabbles - for my writing.
#storycrafting - about my current projects
#tsoh - about tsoh, one of my current fiction projects. it stands for something but donāt worry about it lol. if any of these posts interest you, i have a sideblog called @tsoh-archive you can follow for more pieces and
#// ventilation - vent posts, probably about transphobia or antisemitism etc. filter out if that bothers you.
some of my general positions for reference:
iām a Jewish anti-zionist. i believe in the rights and liberation of Palestinians and i also will not tolerate antisemitism from goyim who may share some of my beliefs, because those things are not mutually exclusive.
as a rule most things are nuanced
i donāt believe in transandrophobia: as in, i think itās a stupid descriptor attempting to describe real experiences (trans men experiencing transphobia) in an unfeminist way. block me if you donāt like that.
bottom line opinion of mine is that human sexuality is naturally weird and has all sorts of facets, ppls kinks are value neutral. the only real exception to that imo is raceplay, something im not even going to try to defend nor do i want to.
discourse topics that get a whopping Who Cares from me: bi vs pan discourse, micro labels being the supposed fall of queer community, most Problematic Kinks, any specific beef between users on here that youād need an entire encyclopedia to understand
stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.
nobody is writing iron lung/project hail mary crossovers correctly. i donāt care about the yaoi of it all, i mean, not primarily. if there is yaoi it needs to be secondary to ryland grace and rocky stepping into/seeing the aftermath of a brutal psychological horror and going uh oh. this isnt uhhhhhhh where iām meant to be i dont think haha. i need to see fheir easy comradery and quippy one liners crack a bit under the pressure of simonās lived experience. i need it to grate on them. does anybody fucking hear me

you'll feel like a total dipshit train wreck and no matter what some girl is gonna see you and think "role model". you can't kill yourself you have to go be clocky in the gas station so a 14 year old can have the trajectory of her life altered forever
i mean, you know, people are entitled to their sexual proclivities. let there be a thousand blossoms bloom, as far as i'm concerned. but i ain't spending any time on it, because in the meantime, every three months, a person's torn to pieces by maenads in thebes
saw a post comparing mouthwashing, hail mary and iron lung in a way that bothered me. these are all vastly different works despite the Space theme but but i think there are some interesting things to be analyzed here about how that setting is utilized and regarding general similarities and differences
Apparently my stepdad and I are fucking psychically linked because ?? every single time he makes chili for dinner I get a migraine. Without fail. And it became like a ha ha running joke because it happened so many times but now Iām living 3 hours away from my parents and I just texted my mom and
daniel molloy didnāt cruise the gay bars for mentally unstable dick in the 1970s to call him a late in life bisexual. donāt worry mister molloy I saw you consider coffin sex for blow
Actually like - you know how Athena and Ares are both associated with war, but Athena is (at least ime) portrayed as the goddess of captains and generals, strategy and tactics as intellectual, perfectable crafts, warfare as the architecture of victory?
The goddess who views warfare as a fascinating exercise in abstract problem-solving, a chance for strategists to display their genius or cunning, whose followers are always seeking the opportunity to offer up another Cannae as sacrifice to her? To whom war is figures being moved across maps in generals tents, and the fact that actual people suffer and die in it is just irrelevant?
Very underrated, like, fantasy-villain patron archtype, imo.
oh. I didnt realize "anti psych" meant, like, deconstructing the social hegemony of psychiatry. I said I was anti psyche because I believe in systematically destroying the soul
