Hi! I'm Runovaris, also known as Runo or Rani, either goes.
30 years old, Finnish, white. Queer as fuck, transmasc gay. He/him, they/them, it/its. I reclaim the slurs tranny and faggot and will use them however I please to refer to myself. I have ADHD (inattentive), and depression. Starting to be enough fucked up physically that I guess I can call myself disabled in that field too.
Not a pro-shipper nor an anti, but a secret third thing (a person with common sense and the knowledge that this shit has fucking nuance)
Heathen, in many ways pagan. Kind-of-devotee of Loki and his family.
This blog was once a witchy sideblog to my main (which I have since abandoned), and if you scroll far enough to old posts that's pretty much all I reblogged. I've since stopped being an "active" witch although I still occasionally do rituals and shit whenever the need arises. Which isn't often.
I used to tag shit extensively but have since stopped cause I'm lazy lol. I'll aim to still tag any nsfw or something that's easily triggering like artistic gore or violence. Otherwise I tag stuff sporadically.
IF YOU'RE A MINOR, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ME. This is a LEGAL issue, even if I live in Finland and you do not.
I'll occasionally vet the blogs that follow me and if I see you're a minor, I WILL FIRST SOFTBLOCK YOU (blocking then unblocking so you stop following me.)
Repeated tries to follow me despite this results in a FULL-ON BLOCK. This is for the safety of both of us. Don't fucking try to trick me.
Also just in general, don't feel bad at all abt unfollowing or even outright blocking me if the shit I reblog or post doesn't vibe with you. Curate your online experience. Make your dashboard fit your needs.
If I changed my blogging habits to fit everyone who follows me, this would no longer be MY blog.
Anyways, I enjoy many games such as Borderlands 2, Warframe, Grounded, Vintage Story, Stardew Valley, and soooo many others.
For music, anything goes really, although I prefer metal and industrial-type beats.
Other than that, Free Palestine, Zionists fuck off, antisemites go to hell, TERFs go swallow glass, ACAB, BLM, fuck capitalism. Don't be a dick.
(This is a Great Golden Digger Wasp - Sphex ichneumoneus - doing what its name implies, digging. But you may also notice, if you turn the sound on, that she’s making some incredible noises as she does so.)
i love that maned wolf pups also do the canine thing where they feet too big for their got damn they, but because they also have the long ass legs they end up looking way more normally proportioned than the adults. like this:
explained to an 8 year old that once a fruit is ripe you only have so much time until it rots so you have to eat it soon and she said so i'll never be able to keep it perfect like this forever? no and there are about a million pieces of art for you unrelatedly
there are two wolves inside you. one wolf parrots racist memes and imagery uncritically because they don't realize how racist that is. the second wolf believes that it's totally fine to use racist memes and imagery if it's funny enough. you should feed neither of these wolves. they're both awful wolves.
You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light
people have this tendency to believe that fandom discourse exists because people in fandoms are Stupid Nerdy Losers, but in fact fandom discourse exists because anytime you get a group of more than 100 people together, they will start creating interpersonal bullshit. fandom is not special in this regard
There is sports discourse. There is yarn discourse. There is food discourse. There is academic discourse (dear sweet god is there academic discourse). If there are people out there collecting brass buttons specifically from 1921, they are going to have discourse about which buttons are trash and whether Person A cheated person B. To be human is to engage in pointless wankery sometimes.
was talking to a coworker and realised i could not for the life of me remember his name but i was too embarrassed to ask because we've spoken multiple times so mid-conversation i started concocting a plan to nudge the conversation towards the ID photos on our building passes so that i could be like oh my ID photo is awful haha the camera they use to take these has a real talent for making me look as unphotogenic as possible and then he would say oh yes me too haha everyone says that (because they do) and then i would be able to say well let me see yours it can't be as bad as mine! and he would show me his ID because we are coworkers and why wouldn't he and this would allow me to see his building pass which of course would have his name on it and then i would be able to say well yours is perfectly nice it must be me that's the problem! and then we would have a polite chuckle about it and i would have his name without needing to ask for it and he would be none the wiser and all would be well but then before i could execute this fine plan a little voice in my head went "so this is some light yagami bull shit you are about to pull" which was such a violent reality check it shocked me completely out of my embarrassment and i went "hey im so sorry your name has slipped my mind could you remind me" and he did and it was fine.
"This is some Light Yagami bull shit you are about to pull" <- Littany against avoiding small embarrassing/awkward moments that don't matter with over the top ass mind games.
I wish I could make white people(and not just white Americans) understand how diverse the pre-columbian Americas were. The history, religion, culture, politics was at least as complex as Europe's. There was the full gamut of religions, from monotheists to animists to ancestral religions. There were city building empires, village farmers, nomadic traders, and so many other ways to live. This is all just based on what we know, the fragments left behind and the stories of survivors of an apocalyptic plague. All this before the most extended campaign of genocide in history was waged in an attempt to wipe out those survivors.
Over 500 years spent trying to cut down a whole trunk of human culture.
Do you understand how much poorer our whole species is because of it? Can you imagine where art, religion, and science would be if we still had these vast bodies of knowledge? The stain of the colonial project will never be fully washed clean. We owe more than just the land to those we stole from. We owe them a whole future, a future that could have been brighter for all of us. If only greed and fear weren't allowed to rule this land.
honestly it’s kind of upsetting how much of the autism experience is just being shamed out expressing yourself in any way that’s normal for you and learning to keep everything to yourself so you’re not shamed for being weird and then being shamed for being so quiet because it’s also weird to be quiet but if you tell this to anyone else they’ll say “why do you care so much what people think” and that’s when the ancient ape part of your brain gets ready to beat them to death
