We're All Stories

Saronai (they/them) is an eclectic amalgam of confusingly combined oddities. Sometimes also a forest path leading to adventure! Definitely a queer and creative spirit. Neurodivergent storyteller. Hobby artist. This tumblr occasionally shares 18+ content.

Changes for this blog

This blog is being merged with my personal tumblr. I may still post writing and things dealing with my OCs across all AUs, but for the most part, it's going to be things I find neat, funny, inspirational, etc. I do not really play World of Warcraft anymore outside of infrequent googledoc RP with a select few. By all means feel free to ask any of my OCs questions still or interact with them. I will eventually get around to fleshing out info and links here for those who are curious about the OCs and my various projects and activities. My main games of choice at the moment are Flight Rising and Guild Wars 2 on infrequent occasion. Tumblrs I currently maintain still: Rendilosa (18+ content occasionally gets posted here) - this is a character/ship-themed blog based on the first ship one of my partners and I started writing together. Composed of our characters Renawyn + Ehrendil + Tulosa our OT3. The original World of Warcraft version is very very slowly being edited into an 18+ work on ao3. Muse Rising - This is my Flight Rising tumblr. Not super active on it so far because I'm far more active directly in the Flight Rising forums. This one will always be SFW as required by the game's rules for all links. Flight Rising is a dragon breeding and dressing game that I enjoy in my spare time. Designing looks and dressing my dragons, as well as arranging their bios is like having a virtual garden for me. Except dragons, instead of flowers and far more affordable in terms of spoons (energy) and finances (past attempts to garden where I live haven't gone well anyway). I'm also working on a bigger project that might include a podcast or just fiction in a patreon and will be assigning my old "Muse Sings" theme to it if/when it goes live. That tumblr is just a placeholder.

Thanks to some super generous people, I'm more than halfway to the goal of preventing eviction proceedings and hopefully buying my family time for my spouse's disability to start coming in.

love when a character is a scientist and their speciality is science and they do science in a science lab. no specifics no clear goals no clue where their funding comes from. dont even worry about it. science.

You will never 100% idiotproof your creative work & if you try to, you will only succeed in smothering the soul out of it. btw

wow i wonder if that 300 year gap could be explained by any outside factors…….whoa! for some reason it lines up with the timeline of britain’s invasion and subsequent colonization of ireland! wild, huh? i wonder if the two are connected in some way? i guess the world will never know….

“why do the Irish hate the English so much? It couldn’t have been *that* bad!!”

This was in place till 1973.

[commie-cosmo]

Seeing non irish people reblogging this makes me happy

[shofarsogood]

The stereotype of “the Irish are drunks” is English propaganda used to justify paternalism and controlling the Irish. It’s bullshit.

do you regularly listen to music in a language/languages you do not speak?

yes

no

Voting ended onNov 11, 2025

no nuance for the choices, elaborate in the tags. regularly means making an conscious effort to find and listen to songs in a different language of your own volition and not just letting them play on the radio/hearing them at work/other situations where you are not in control of the music

[shalpilot]

if you voted yes in the previous poll is it exclusively vocaloid music

yes

no

Voting ended onNov 11, 2025

[shalpilot]

@ prev sure thing o7

“What if poor people abuse the system?”

The system intrinsically abuses poor people.

Hope this helps.

I think a lot of autistic taking-things-literally goes under the radar because what the diagnostic tests and shit ask about is not what that generally looks like in an adult and often not in kids either and much more importantly it’s not what generally actually causes problems in real life instead of being irritating for caretakers or funny to bullies or easy to diagnose

I have absolutely no issues understanding metaphors or idioms. When someone says their heart is on their sleeve they mean they’re emotionally expressive and openly display their feelings, not that they have a chunk of cardiac tissue on their shirt. I very rarely have issues with sarcasm. I sometimes have issues telling when someone who’s said something mean is about to say “just kidding”, but tbh I think that’s more on them than me.

BUT

My grandmother asked me “Do you know when the trash was taken out last?” and I said “I think Eliot took it out yesterday” and a few hours later she yelled at me for “not taking out the trash when I asked you to” and I was like???? You didn’t ask me????

I dread filling out forms and am crap at filling out diagnostic tests or personality quizzes because there are always questions I don’t know the exact answers to (how am I supposed to know what day I got dental surgery seven years ago?) or don’t understand exactly what they’re asking or the wording’s unclear and they could mean this or the wording says this but I’m pretty sure what they actually meant was this and should I answer what they said or what they meant, and how does everyone else just whip through the form when surely they can’t know all the answers either? Does everyone else remember the day they got dental surgery seven years ago?

I get tangled up by bureaucracy because the rules on the website say that for this you need that and for that you need the other and for the other you need something else for which you need the first thing, and I go in circles for hours or days or weeks or months or years because their stated rules say there is no way to get what I need, and when I talk to somebody else they’re like “just call them?” and I’m like “how could that help? the rules say that what I’m trying to do is impossible”

And all of that? That’s how “taking things literally” ACTUALLY affects your life as an adult. It’s not “haha you think ‘getting under your skin’ means parasites”. It’s “you have real difficulty functioning in the world because everyone else is conveying things through implication and assuming that you know that rules are flexible and questions are approximate and you’re supposed to lie on job applications, and you don’t”.

if you remember being told as a kid 'you'll get more conservative as you get older' and wondered why on earth people used to think that, this is why. poor people, disabled people, people of color, homeless people, immigrants and migrants- many of them didn't make it to their 60s and 70s. Some didn't make it to their 40s, some didn't make it to their 20s. the aids crisis by itself took out a whole generation of progressive queer adults. disabled folks were institutionalized or left to die if their families didn't think they were worth the effort and money to care for.

taking away SNAP benefits is an act of violence and it should be treated as such.
