ripe green fruit: eternalism

queer / neurodivergent / tumblr olde / slowmaxxing fanfic writer / grieving

[ripegreenfruit]

Hello! Tumblr is a beautiful place for queers & weirdos. If you don’t fully love, accept & celebrate sexual, gender, and neuro diversity, please stay the fuck away from this blog, Tumblr, and sentient beings forever. Otherwise, read on for some info about this space & me!

The only label I’ve ever really loved is “queer” because it’s the most comfortable and resonant way for me to describe how I feel about sexuality and gender and my entire being. I will use a lot of other labels casually, because they also resonate with me, and you can too! I’m tired of gatekeeping and queer “rules”. Also, any pronouns are fine.

I’m very neurodivergent and frankly it’s the bee’s knees. Our trash society is the problem. But I do have extreme empathy and sensitivity and it’s exhausting but gods do I ever ~feel~

I’m also physically disabled and it is the opposite of bee’s knees (wasp’s elbows?) (wasps are also cool they’re just assholes when they’re hungry and thirsty and whomst amongst am I right?)

Other pertinent personal info is that I’m white, Canadian, sort of a woman (yikes), and a tumblr olde (35+). Getting older and being olde on Tumblr rules. I highly recommend getting old.

If you’re here from reading my DinLuke or Steddie fics on AO3, hi!!!!!! Very terrified and honoured to have you here.

FYI, I pretty much tag everything with basic obvious content tags for ease of finding or filtering.

Lastly, a list of my side blogs for serious hyperfixation times (though these can and will appear in varying degrees of intensity on this page too), as well as some blog specific-ish tags I use:

@maytheforcebegrogu - Star Wars; DinLuke, seasons 1&2 of the Mandalorian, a smattering of sequel hating and a lot of George Lucas defending

@thelosersthelovers - It in all its iterations & Reddie

@newsfromfirelordozai - OG Avatar: The Last Airbender, no LA and very little LOK

@strangerstrangerthings - a lot of Steddie in the off seasons

@destielyell - What season are we on? If it’s trending, I’m Ben Affleck smoking.

#limetime - my posts

#spñ - I promise I will rarely post about this nightmare

#horror - for horror movies, books, content, etc

#genderenvy - I’ve got something going on.

#dinosaurs - all prehistoric things for ease

#shiver me timbers - the pirate lifestyle (iykyk)

#queer - anything related to queerness including theory

#life - profound things to remember because I have adhd and will forget it immediately

#fave - things I love a lot. I will overuse this tag because I love a lot of things a lot.

And if you’ve made it this far, hi again! Message me a cool fact and I will do so in return!!

Every time you go in a public place and something ISN’T disgusting it’s because somebody cleaned it. Every time you feel comfortable using a public bathroom or sitting at a restaurant table or setting something on a gas station counter or playing on a playground it’s because somebody cleaned it.

Thank you to everyone who cleans the world, especially those who are underpaid and under appreciated.

that Brian Eno quote about how whatever you find most repulsive about a medium (film grain, record scratches/fuzz, CDs skipping) will be the first thing you try and emulate once that medium is obsolete because it's "the sign of a moment too powerful for the medium assigned to contain it".... man.......

[funkylilpunk]

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.” -Brian Eno

we used to get christmas episodes of television. halloween episodes. valentines. we used to get television that felt like part of your life. like it was happening alongside your life. now we mostly get 8 episodes dropping all at once every two years and they don't have time for any of that. i miss characters living alongside us

[ozarkthedog]

"I miss characters living alongside us."

What a perfect quote.

I really like the colours you get on magpies, what at first glance looks like a other black and white bird is actually full of these wonderfully iridescent greens and purples

just a really spectacular animal

[thatwelshartist]

I was looking up facts about Cormorants to find a title for this and found out about the liver bird a mythological creature from liverpool that is literally just a cormorant which I find kinda funny

anyway still think what to call this maybe UKAI

[storm-of-feathers]

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.

[storm-of-feathers]

I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.

When I was in high school, I lived in a small progressive city in a spot of red. Our GSA threw everything into observing the Day of Silence, and blanketed the school in big, visible, bracelets for people to wear in support of their silent classmates.

On the bus one spring, on the Day of Silence, I overheard two girls talking about the fact that one of them was wearing a support bracelet. She said, "I don't actually support 'them', but, you know, it's basically socially suicide to say that."

And I was so, so glad. To know that I went to a school, in a place and a time, where people needed to conceal their hate, instead of needing to conceal their love.

really funny to have a guy in the friend group who you’re going to have to sacrifice later

they want you to care more about 'job' than yaoi... don't fall for this scam

When I say "connect with nature" I don't just mean the aesthetic forests with deer and beautiful flowers.

I mean the weeds growing through concrete, the fungus that grows on the rotten shed, the nettles that always seem to return and the scary, spindly cellar spider in the corner of the bathroom.

Nature is not always pretty or magical - the pigeons and seagulls you swat at are nature too, the wasps and flies that hover by your meals are animals too, store-bought strawberries and the leaves that fall from your neighbour's tree are not all that different from the Giant Sequoias and it's seeds.

If you want to connect and understand nature, I mean *really* connect to it, in it's entirety, you have to seek out and learn about the ugly, scary and mundane things as well. You don't have to like it, just don't forget that it's there.

I also think that the strength gap is at least partially manufactured women would in fact be stronger overall if little girls were encouraged to do physically taxing games and activities and eat their fill while they’re growing vs having to constantly diet and be sedentary indoors (or god forbid do intense cardio while under-eating). The amount of adult women honestly afraid to lift weights bc they think they’ll get bulky as though bulking isn’t a full time job that athletes have to spend all their time on and anyone on earth gets shredded from just using their adult muscles for their intended purpose, girl your bone density 🥀

[goldcrescent]

if you say women are intentionally nerfed from birth in 2026 people look at you like you’re insane and start condescendingly telling you about how women are just better at different things (but not during their periods haha) but this was a completely basic feminist talking point I grew up with like “girls can do it too! [shot of little girls climbing and running with boys]” nickelodeon commercial tier base level I hate it how is everyone suddenly dumber than the average 7 year old

[quietwingsinthesky]

friend is trying to convince me this is a common experience and I do not believe her, so

Do you expect to be paid back if you pay for something for your friend while you’re hanging out? (I.E. a ride, a meal, a trinket.)

Yes, always

Yes, but only if it’s above a limit of money

No, never

I don’t buy things for my friends.

For a more illustrative example, say you go to the movies with a friend and you buy them popcorn, do you expect them at some point to send you money back via cash or through an app of some kind? Will you be upset if they don’t?
