Hi I'm Tarigon. Or RNA. That RNA. Maybe you know me from somewhere? Also go by iteratorsex in RW spaces

winnertpot -> tardisobjectbattlecity -> pal-culator -> twisting-roads -> rna-world

I make art, music, writing, and just anything to satisfy my endless need to create.

I'm open to talk about shared interests, hence the open askbox. Don't be shy, reach into the bars of my enclosure and ask me things! I will bite.

English, but I am trying to learn Spanish so if you want to speak to me in (LatAm) Spanish I won't stop you. Actually that would be fun. Do that.

So as an Antarctic expert I need to add to this that we had not in fact been to Antarctica when it was named. The ancient Greeks decided that because there was an Arctic at the top of the world, with bears, there had to be an opposite at the other end, without bears. Which is kind of ridiculous except that the fuckers were dead on

[apas-95]

still genuinely incomprehensible to me that people wear shoes indoors. do you live in a mineshaft

[fiollaigean]

multiple people in my immediate circle of acquaintances have seriously injured their feet indoors by not wearing shoes! either by stepping on small, pointy objects or stubbing their toes so hard they got nerve damage. some of us like to be protected! get yourself a cheap pair of house slippers or something. fuck.

[mortimermcmirestinks]

why do you have small pointy objects scattered around on the floor of your literal home

[apas-95]

usamericans will massacre dogs in their house and not even sweep up the broken bones

[rna-world]

yeah yeah people make the front legs the wings for creatures like, in every instance. because it makes sense. but can you imagine a creature with the back legs as wings? fucked isn't it

you don't fuck with hapopy smileyy??

[t00thpasteface]

part of the reason i love mean, bitchy, rude, domineering, firecracker female characters and loathe seeing them defanged is because the prickliness repels men and the defanging is ALWAYS to make them more fuckable for whatever man they have a weird sexual tension with. like yeah i don't like the Mean Lesbian stereotype either but at least the mean lesbian isn't shelving her career to become a tradwife after spending however many episodes/chapters/issues saying how much she didn't want to do either of those things

[t00thpasteface]

i will take twenty mean women being headcanoned as lesbians solely on the basis of how fucking toxic they are before i will take ONE formerly mean woman suddenly being sunshine and rainbows in the arms of a man she should be slapping across the face

[t00thpasteface]

i love seeing women get character growth and interesting arcs but NOT BEING ATTRACTED TO MEN/THE MALE PROTAGONIST IS NOT A CHARACTER FLAW

[t00thpasteface]

and maybe this isn't revolutionary of me at all but in addition to being perfectly fine with the mean lesbians i also just want to see more female characters who are genuinely Married To Their Work. not in that she doesn't have time for dating but wishes she did, i mean that she genuinely gets all the fulfillment she needs from the satisfaction of a job well done and the socialization she enjoys in the process of doing her job. and it can be any kind of thing that keeps her busy, not just modern formal 9-5 employment; "passion" and "calling" also work here instead of "job". female characters are never allowed to loiter around unfucked, especially not if the male lead wants a piece of that (and even if the male lead getting a piece of that would completely derail everything she has going on). like oh my god can just one chick win an employee of the month award and not have to immediately suffer some sort of cisheteronormative penance for it

[t00thpasteface]

the thing is, as much as i want to hate the stereotype for its real-world implications, i'll only be able to stop finding catharsis in the fictional(!) Mean Lesbian when i stop feeling alienated by the mainstream reduction of female characters to sexdolls and housemaids.

anyway, in light of recent developments, i'm briefly returning to this post to give a hearty congratulations to both eva "scapegoat" stratt and captain ava iron lung for each winning the Mean Lesbian Employee of the Month award. your names' allusions to the biblical eve are not lost on me and i too agree that eve did nothing wrong. i do think it's feminist praxis for an intimidating, glowering, nonsexualized woman to seal a crying man inside a metal box and not let him back out

From the Nashville Zoo’s fb page! Here’s the petition, please please please take a moment to add your name (even if you’re not from Nashville!). If you are from Tennessee, contact your representatives and make it clear that the people do not want this data center. This is an AZA accredited zoo which is home to several species of critically endangered animals, we NEED to protect it. Make your voice heard!

having fun watching the bratz movies with my friends and pointing out the amount of racist stereotypes that have appeared. it is the least surprising thing imaginable

[rna-world]

Anyways. Shroud (Adrian Tchaikovski) is a good book, better than Alien Clay (same author) actually. I thought that Kiln's ecology was novel with its whole rapid evolutionary arms race where every creature took a siphonophore approach was cool, but Shroud was more realistic in my eyes. The novelty of Kiln couldn't really save it in the end, it didn't have much else going for it

anyways I'm gonna go read some other authors. I just picked up this book because I thought the cover and blurb were pretty cool

[rna-world]

fun fact I DO actually have a goodreads account. I haven't really put like, every single book I've read ever there or anything but since I've started reading again (finished two books this year) I've had stuff to sayy

RNA WORLD

RNA WORLD has 2 books on Goodreads

[rna-world]

as humans developed, deaths via predators or being trampled by hippos became less prominent. In order to replace this necessity of the human life, we created the Motor Vehicle
