My Shrine

I live here

Couldn't decide between them so you get both

[deathstars]

I enjoy soulmate aus as much as the next person but I don’t think they really reckon as much as they should with how the existence of soulmates would change nearly everything about human history and society.

[deathstars]

You have to understand that if there were mysteriously ordained soulmate marks on all of us it would change the structure of religion. Divinity would be evidenced through it, correct or not. Sacred texts would change. If soulmate marks appeared on people of the same sex we would have completely different interpretations of sexuality and gender. About what it meant to have children! If the mark appears at a certain age, coming-of-age/adulthood ceremonies and traditions would be only about that!

[deathstars]

And if the soulmarks are names, naming conventions would be wild to ensure the certainty of that person being your soulmate. Writing would be less an invention than an evolution of the base marks seen on the first homo sapiens. We would have had writing first!

[deathstars]

Politically, wouldn’t a majority of people be nomadic in order to seek out their soulmate, if indeed they could be born anywhere? And maybe seeking out your soulmate could be seen as going against destiny, intervening “too early”? Family ties and inheritance would be altered by a vast amount of people leaving or coming based on a population which sought partners through soulmate-bonds. War would have to consider not just economies and borders and resources, but an attack on a population that could be and likely are the soulmates of your own. If soulmarks don’t recognize borders, what would nations even be?

[deathstars]

In the contemporary age there would be agencies dedicated to uniting soulmates and scientific disciplines dedicated to them. There would be movements against them; there would be inquiries into their removal; there would be arguments against this based on their being sacred and/or natural. The entire philosophical debate over free will would begin and end with them. And what about legislation? Are crimes against soulmates punished more severely? Are crimes committed for them, less? When would marriage be allowed between non-soulmates, if at all? What would grief look like? The cemeteries? Would cremation be even considered if the marks are of the flesh?

Wait that explains everything so so much

[rainbow-demoness]

And since we don't face direct punishment for missing positive social cues like we do for negative ones, our coping skills and compensatory hypervigilance don't develop the same way. So we go through a world of never recognising positive signals, sometimes spotting negative signals, and knowing for sure there's more negative signals we're still missing, because those keep blowing up in our face.

Kind of fucked tbh.

Third base is when you watch me shut down and go nonverbal in public from overstimulation.

are you gonna pick those penne noodles out of the boiling water one by one like a man, or are you gonna use a strainer like some kind of democrat?

[segamascott]

i will no longer be practicing radical acceptance and/or accepting the things i can not change #fuckbadthings #changeit

[tankie-transfeminist]

I wish I could've been a girl for longer. We transitioned a bit after our body's 18th birthday, which means we never really got a chance to be girl. Now our state has banned hrt for trans minors, denying that to everyone like us. I like being a woman, don't get me wrong, I just wish I could've been a girl too.

[tankie-transfeminist]

If you wonder why there are so many age reggressors in the transfem community, this is why. We have been systemically denied girlhood, and are doing all we can to reclaim it.

[midnightssea]

it’s amazing how women are able to navigate crowded rooms without ever touching a palm to a man’s lower back

[quendergeer]

you'd think occasionally men would need to touch other men like this to manoeuvre them out of the way but it never happens
