A Dysphoric Dragon's Diary

💜 Rocky 🏳️‍🌈 They/It 🏳️‍🌈 Dragon 💜

[rockyderg1526]

Hello, I guess I'm making a blog now!

✧ Name: You can call me Rocky!

✧ Pronouns: I go by They/Them/It/Its

✧ Age: I'm 16 right now, remind me to update on my birthday...

✧ Gender: Not even I know the answer to that one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

✧ Species: I'm a dragon, sometimes a night fury, sometimes I don't know, and sometimes a mudwing.

✧ Nationality: I'm Welsh with a little Canadian sprinkled on top. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 <- Best flag ever btw :3

I think that's pretty much the basic things that need covering, anyway I'll probably just use this blog to write my thoughts that I think are worth sharing somewhere, and to yap about my interests a bit. Have a good day!

something i maybe notice about a lot of nonhuman labels is that they center what is an 'objective truth', that that IS what you identify as or with, theres a level of certanty and literality there that i find.. inconvenient as an autistic person who cant TELL the literal, objective "truth" of my identity or emotions [or the voluntariness of it, or my religious opinions on it, or even the as/with-ness of it, etc]. i like how plurality is seen more, how even though it CAN be an objective truth to some, its also frequently looked at as a framework to treat yourself as, rather than that truth. i think nonhumanity could benefit from that, somewhat, especially since like plurality and other aspects of alterhumanity its community is populated by a considerable number of autistic people who may also struggle like i do. like the definition could be changed to something like "someone who is or prefers to look at themselves as" so its inclusive to both, or just have a shift in the community towards that confusion being included, instead of those folks being pushed towards other smaller labels (ie otherlink, othermarrow, otherhearted, etc), i dunno.

I really like this and find this useful! I think this helps because I find it hard to know if I'm valid calling myself a dragon when there's definitely a part of my brain saying that it doesn't make sense, but I definitely prefer to be seen as a dragon, and it's therefore part of my identity.

Fuck the norms

Be a wild fox and wear a collar

Be an indoor cat and have scars

Be a wolf and sleep in a dog bed

Be a rabbit and eat meat

It doesn't matter if it doesn't make sense to others, it only has to make sense to you

i honestly hate it/dont understand it when people say being transpecies is harmful to transpeople?

idk if im biased or smth but i genuinely cannot see how it is harmful? I am both transpecies and transmasc, and veiw being nonhuman in the same why i veiw myself being a guy (instead of the girl i was born as)

idk, i havnt seen any genuine explanations why my identity is transphobic to my other identity and most of the people saying it is NOT trans people.

you’re allowed to be a boy btw. You’re allowed to be a girl. You’re allowed to be both or neither or something else entirely. You’re allowed.

[rockyderg1526]

You're allowed to be a dog btw. You're allowed to be an ant. You're allowed to be any creature or a shapeless void. You're allowed.

[night-feline]

You're allowed to be multiple. You're allowed to be multiple even if you have no trauma. You're allowed to be multiple if you have trauma. You're all real. You're all allowed.

It's really impressive what music can do, the feelings it can create is incredible.

Overheard at the LGS, a kid was shopping for D&D minis with his dad.

Kid: dragons are so cool

Me: *smiles at the praise while browsing the minis on the other side of the shelf*

Kid: it sucks they're not real

Me: *shot through the heart*

Dad: yeah but if they were real, they'd probably be hunted. Dragons are super dangerous. Can't have them destroying towns and stuff.

Kid: oh yeah true

Me: *a second plane has hit the dragon*

is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society

[rockyderg1526]

The main thing is that most types of AI is okay, but generative AI isn't. Also people tend to use AI to mean algorithms which arent harmful.

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

[rockyderg1526]

I don't understand why it isnt completely obvious to everyone which choice to make here.

[rockyderg1526]

I find it so sad when I look up into the sky late at night when I can't sleep. I love the stars they're so beautiful yet there are so few. But thats light pollution for you.

I hate climate change.

I hate pollution.

I hate global warming.

I hate how the generations before us have ruined this planet to the point at which I find it difficult to plan my future when I cant trust that the planet will still be alive enough for me to have a future.

I hate how no one with the power to do anything to fix this crisis is fucking doing anything, it's been left to us young people when its not our fucking fault and we shouldn't have to deal with this.

I'm not even phased anymore when every single year is the hottest summer ever recorded.

It used to snow where I live, but I haven't seen proper snow here in years and I'm not sure I ever will again.

I'd love to be hopeful about this, that we can work together to fix this crisis but I just cant anymore. Its hopeless and we know it.

Friendly reminder that while the “next month is queer wrath month” jokes are fun, July is actually disability pride month and it’s important to recognize that!!

"silly big cat with the temperament of a hyperactive puppy" is such a good way to describe what kind of derg I am

[jingerpi]

I don't care who you are get comfortable with the fact that you have privilege over some people and groups

[jingerpi]

if you think this doesn't apply to you almost certainly wrong.

are you white? are you cis? are you able bodied? are you a man?

have you ever been bombed?

[jingerpi]

are you perisex? are you non-Black? are you developmentally abled? do you have passive income or inheritance? are you legally an adult?

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

I really wish more places had gender neutral single cubicle toilets. I love them so much they're the only public toilets I dont feel extremely uncomfortable in.
