(Hi if you're coming across this I now post primarily on @sports-balls. Go follow that acc instead!) new pinned because whatever. I'm Shadow. 19, queer who uses any pronouns. Autistic and ADHD. Loves hockey and more! I'm also alterhuman. I usually just reblog stuff and rant on this blog; if you want actual material I recommend checking out my other blogs. byf and more under the cut.

tone indicators highly encouraged.

I get angered easily. Please don't take it personal, I'm probably having a bad day.

Won't follow back 99% of the time unless I've known you long enough.

I'm Christian, but I will rarely bring up religion on this blog. Still, if you're not comfortable feel free to block. I promise I won't take it personally.

I'm a very bitter person. Sorry about that (not really).

I refuse to reblog any reblog bait or posts that say "reblog or your evil" or "like = block". I don't need that kind of guilt-tripping on my blog. If I look through your blog and I see you post/reblog that shit, I'm more than likely just going to block you.

I try not to reblog posts that have a full-on shitshow in the notes. Please use the block button I am fucking BEGGING you.

No DNI because nobody's going to follow it anyway, I block freely and liberally. If you want specific stances on things, here you go. I will say, the fact that I have to say some of these at all is genuinely fucking depressing:

Pro-*all* systems; yes, even endos and nontraumagenics.

Pro-all harmless queer identities. Yes, even "contradictory" ones. Yes, even ones people like to deem "weird".

Don't support harmful radqueer/transID identities; that said, I hate the anti-radqueer community and their hostility; because genuinely how is sending death threats to radqueers going to help anybody in the long term?

My stance on shipcourse and fandom discourse basically boils down to "just tag your darkfic and porn, sexualizing children is weird even if they're fictional, curate your own experience (and that goes *both* ways), not everyone you don't like is a 'pedophile' or 'puritan', don't harass people over fandom, and most importantly: you have the right to create whatever you want but people also have the right to avoid you because of it". Fandom is meant to be fun, not a contest over who's more "morally pure" or more "anti-censorship".

Adding to the above, I hate both 'proshippers' and 'antis' and I refuse to associate with either side. I don't care which side is 'worse'; I'm not going to hold hands with people that paint themselves as "anti-harassment" and claim to be "protecting SA survivors and children" when it's really the fucking opposite.

I hate the term "narcissistic abuse" and the ableism surrounding the term. The term "emotional abuse" is right there.

Transandrophobia is real, and trans men aren't "transmisogynistic" for talking about the issues trans men face.

Pro-kink as long as nobody's being scummy and there's consent.

Don't know if I can fully call myself anti-AI, but I am fully against most generative forms of AI. AI "art" and AI "writing" is theft. Plain and simple.

Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, Free Palestine, Land Back, yknow, the usual.

And if *any* of those stances upset you in any way? Well boo fucking hoo, go cry about it to your mommy.

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

[this-is-trans-joy]

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

[shadow-redferne]

To the person who sent that ask re:purpletix on my other blog, yes! Purpletix (and all the other -tix terms I coined) do include self-diagnosed/suspecting neurodivergent folks! :)

[roadhogsbigbelly]

i think the reason "fiction affects reality" trips so many people up is because they think it means "engaging with media that depicts uncomfortable subjects will taint your soul" when really all it means is that "fiction is meant to reflect certain ideas of the world intentionally or not, and it's going affect your perception of it, if you don't go in with a healthy bit of skepticism"

[roadhogsbigbelly]

like playing a first person shooter isn't going to turn you into a school shooter, but that doesn't mean that Call of Duty isn't like. explicitly military propaganda.

or (for a more specific but also weirdly common example) enjoying horror movies isn't going to turn you into a serial killer, but if you watch a lot of horror where the killer is "a gender confused man who kills women whilel dressed in drag, because his repressed female split personality hates his attraction to women because it gives her gender dysphoria" than you should like. be a bit criticial of what you're enjoying. or something like that.

[shadow-redferne]

hi im probably going to be primarily posting on @catgirl-crosby going forward lmao. i recommend you go there instead.

[scragon]

"Sorry i reported you" scam making it's rounds here.

I'm not even banned.

Vague details.

Doesn't just start with the reason for contact.

You submit help to www.tumblr.com/support or help.tumblr.com. NOT the links provided in the photos.

the proof of email photo is crunchy as hell. Looks old too.

Why do i have to contact them to confirm my innocence. lmao.

What is the scam? You rush to prove your innocence to the email and they will respond back to you needing to verify your login info and then steal your account. easy. Discord and Steam have a version of this too.

[shadow-redferne]

And for the record: Even ignoring the already fishy details, the whole thing is just ridiculous because... come on. How the hell do you "accidentally" report someone? How the fuck do you manage to go through some short steps without even double-checking to see if you're reporting the right account, submit said report and then message the person in question going "teehee i accidentally reported your account OOPSIES". In other words, if it sounds too ridiculous, it's probably bullshit.

[miggylol]

Spin the wheel. That's who's trying to kill you.

Spin the wheel again. That’s who’s trying to protect you.

(If you have zero idea about the name you got, spin until you see someone you recognize.)

Are you safe?

Absolutely not. I'm dead. 100% dead.

I might stay alive, but it'll be a really close thing.

I'll take some hits, for certain, but I should be okay in the end.

A few attacks might get through, but nothing concerning.

The attacker might be able to get in one lucky hit. If that.

I am the opposite of worried. I'm 100% safe.

…Look. I've tried picturing this. But I honestly don't know how to answer.

[shadow-redferne]

psa: if you call guys who dresses femininely or like feminine things an 'egg', im fucking stealing something out of your house. not every guy who dresses femininely is a closeted trans woman. (RADFEMS FUCK OFF, THIS POST ISNT FOR YOU)

[hostilecandle]

If ANY of yall EVER do this shit to me, im deleting every single fic out of spite.

If I ever catch one of yall doing this to another author and I know youre a follower of my work I will block you personally on every platform

None of yall are the fic police. I DESPISE genai. I think its an insult to art, humanity, and the planet itself. But aint not a single fucking person here qualified to pick apart a strangers fic looking for a gotcha moment to make yourselves feel superior. If you think something is ai you can ask the author (most are proud of the ai use and will just tell you straight up) if they say yes you have your answer and can warn people. If they say no and you dont believe them you block and quietly keep it between you and maybe a close group of friends. Spreading misinformation is DANGEROUS. And NONE of you doing this shit are anywhere near qualified to do it.

THIS GOES DOUBLY FOR ARTISTS.

[hodari-pavels-good-boy]

Posting this here from my main too bc I feel that strongly about it

You dont get to witch hunt and scour peoples work just frothing at the mouth hoping someone messes up so you can publicly humiliate and gang up on them. Fuck genai and every single poser and lover that uses it but if you are not 1000000000% certain that something is made with it you shut. the. fuck. up.

Pathetic loser behavior on display here

[mintedwitcher]

I'm about to get mean because this shit? this pisses me all the way off.

"hurr durr these very common writing practices are SUPER OBVIOUS AI TELLS!!!!!!!!!! obviously this is an AI invention and not the result of AI being trained on THOUSANDS OF REAL FUCKING STORIES!!!!!!! we're all very intelligent!!!!!!!"

I hate yall. I hate yall for fucking ruining fanfic with your goddamn motherfucking AI obsession. "ooh there's em dashes!" YEAH REAL WRITERS USE THOSE. "there's long paragraphs!" YEAH BECAUSE THATS HOW PEOPLE WRITE STORIES.

we're not "writing like AI" - AI is writing like us, because it fucking stole from us in the first fucking place.

I've never used AI in my work, not ever, but guess what, my fics are ALL written like that. long paragraphs, long sentences, em dashes and hyphens and other grammatical tools, because I fucking know HOW TO WRITE.

quite frankly, if you think these things are "genAI inventions" you're just telling the world that YOU DON'T READ ENOUGH.

Honestly this looks banging. I am perfectly fine calling this a burger. Please give me Afghani burger

[shadow-redferne]

ngl i find it really fucking said that advocating for basic human decency and rights is considered "discourse" now.

[identitty-dickruption]

“it’s ableist to be against AI art” “it’s ableist to assume disabled people can’t make art without AI” actually it’s ableist that you fuckheads keep dragging disability into this debate without bothering to treat disabled people like human beings at all in this process. it’s ableist that you keep using disabled artists as inspiration porn (anti-AI version) and it’s also ableist that you keep acting like someone isn’t a real human if they can’t make art and it’s all shitty and awful and shut. the. fuck. up.

[shadow-redferne]

im tired

[shadow-redferne]

so uhm, this week's been quite rough for us all. so reblog this post with something that made you happy this week! /nf

[shadow-redferne]

memes aside i actually kinda feel terrible for the wife of that astronomer ceo. like imagine your husband cheated on you and the internet's making memes about what has to be a pretty stressful moment for you.

[deathbysports]

"ugh this has been such a terrible year to be a vtuber why is vtubing always in drama and controversy" hockey fandom:

[deathbysports]

Nah but seriously. Long story short, Vshojo, a Vtubing agency, was recently exposed for basically scamming not just one of their own talents, but also a charity organization said talent supported (That being the Immune Deficiency Foundation). Ironmouse, the vtuber in question, has released a video explaining the situation and has opened up a tiltify to support the organization. If you guys have the time, please donate. And in the meantime, maybe give Ironmouse some support too.

We give you the tools to engage with your donors and raise more for your charity
