Rabbits and Robots

Hey, I'm Sigma, robromaamdoodperson. I follow interesting things, reblog stuff and on occasion, say things as well.~ Sigma. Disabled Millenial. They/Them/Their pronouns please! Note: I can only share GoFundMe posts, I do the best I can

He's in charge and he can do that, the next one can change that decision, that's the rules as I understand them.

[sclerites]

wow.. yeah..

Rabbit has been nothing short of awesome. I'm so unbelievably happy to have had this character in my life, and I can say without of a shadow of a doubt that my life has changed for the better because of her.

However, a person's mental health comes first. So I wish Isabella Bennett the absolute best of luck with whatever she does next. Thank you so, so much for everything. Godspeed.

And to the fandom: please please please god don't harass anyone. We are NOT repeating what happened with the Jon ok? Or the way people acted about Zer0. If Rabbit is, for real, getting retired as a character and the band hire a new robot performer (if Hatchworth is only around temporarily) PLEASE for the love of WHATEVER do NOT harass the potential new performer. Or the band. Don't be doing that, ok? just Don't.

I'd like to remind fandom of this once again today

This was a man, dressed as a plant, making pigeon noises at people walking by. I said hello, asked if it was okay to take his picture, and then asked why he was dressed as a plant. He said, “I’m just working through some stuff. Thank you for asking. No ones asked yet.”

[anekie]

I’ve been dealing with stuff the wrong way. 

[briarpatch-kids]

At first I was critical of all the Jimothy stuff because of the whole Spectacle of Disability thing, then I saw all the bad spine having folks latch on to him and now I think he belongs to them and nobody else is allowed to be weird about it.

[briarpatch-kids]

Me: hmmm, not sure you should be treating disability like this...

People with Spinal Disabilities: he's just like me fr!

Me: post canceled, briar canceled, go have fun with your bad spine buddy!

[eldritchbauble]

I know being traumatized and mentally ill is like buying the whole comorbidities bundle and all but I hate thinking about how many dx I have. List is way too long. Gotta be fake. I'll be out here ignoring that shit as much as possible and cramming my symptoms into the least amount of conditions that can explain them lmao.

[duallpa]

baby jimothy

[whatyoustand4]

he enjoys mai tais and cookies just fyi

[gothiccharmschool]

Do I now picture some of my Brain Raccoons looking like Jimothy? Yes.

[wheelie-sick]

it really pisses me off when I tell someone about my experience with lupus psychosis (caused by cerebritis, a form of brain inflammation) and they're like "wow someone should have brought you to the psych ward."

that actually would probably have killed me.

lupus psychosis is caused by an autoimmune disease (literally brain inflammation), it's not psychiatric. antipsychotics do absolutely nothing to help lupus psychosis. the only thing that can improve lupus psychosis is treatment for the lupus itself.

when people with lupus psychosis are admitted to a psych ward with a misdiagnosed psychotic disorder they often die. when people with lupus psychosis are in the psych ward they are often put on increasingly high doses of antipsychotics and other psychiatric drugs and aren't discharged. they are often denied other medical care because it's "unnecessary" and often because "it's just their psychosis"

I hope I don't need to explain why ignoring brain inflammation is dangerous.

[feotakahari]

This sounds like a fundamental failure in the concept of psychiatry. I mean, if they’re supposed to treat brain issues, and your brain is inflamed, they should treat the inflammation, just like they should treat you if your brain is messed up from dehydration or stroke. The “mind” isn’t just the brain, since it’s also affected by things like your gut bacteria, but it’s still fundamentally part of your body.

[self-winding]

Yeah, I would assume (or hope) that screening for obvious physical causes of psychological issues would be part of standard practice in a psych ward, but...apparently not? Like do they just not check to see if there's inflammation or a head injury or a massive tumor or something?

Another good reason to avoid winding up in a psych ward, I guess.

[katisconfused]

Not only do they not, there is a condition in the DSM called somatoform disorder, which can be diagnosed in any patient who spends too much time obsessing over perceived physical illness.

Except unlike hysteria, it's not based on the symptoms not being real, it's based on what the doctors deem overreacting to real conditions. The doctor who diagnosed me with it for the irrational behavior of... listening to the behavioral advice of my doctors (diet changes, braces, monitoring my blood pressure to make sure the meds were working) for my tested and proven conditons.

On the bright side I was able to safely talk about how suicidal it made me after because my therapist agreed inpatient is not worth the risk with me.

[rat-rambles]

So I've been asked what a Queer platonic relationship looks like in pratice a few times so heres my two cents.

The who point is that it is 2 people committing to eachouther in away normal revered for romantic and blood family. In outherwords it's makein someone who your not related to your family.

It is a level up from friend in the same way romantically going from dateing to calling eachouther partners to getting married are levels of incressing commitment.

In a long term comited QPR relationship you might see things like putting the outher person in your will, liveing together long term, planing long trips together, co owning pets, co owning property. Things most people do with romantic partners.

Now do some people do this and call it best friends yes but if they are truely committed in that way it still exists out of social norms and as such is functionally a QPR.

Now the reason that it is important to communicate wanting to be in or thinking that you are inna QPR is becuase with out that comunation you can get unequal expections. People will not even think that haveing commitment like that in a platonic relationship is a option. It also can cuase alot of frustration if one person starts expecting the outher to show up in one way when the outher person didn't think that was the expection.

It is all about the commitment and that being shared between two (or more) people.

[sortingmyideas]

A QPR is whatever the people involved want it to be. It's anything doesn't fit romantic, sexual, platonic, or familial dynamics, but only if the people involved want to refer to it as such. The whole point was to dismantle the relationship hierarchy and provide an optional label to the people who wanted it.

No relationship inherently requires more commitment than another. It is not a "level up" from friendship, and getting married isn't always a "level up" from dating.

A long term QPR will have a variety of different looks because there are a million different ways to do it. One QPR may live together, cuddle, kiss, or sleep together, while another may live separately, only engage with each other under certain circumstances, or simply co-exist.

No relationship is inherently a QPR, just like no relationship is inherently romantic, platonic, or familial. "Friendship with a lot of commitment" is still friendship.

I will agree that communicating what relationship you want with one another is important and vital to healthy interactions with people.

QPR's, like any other relationship, are defined entirely by the people involved in them, and they are not inherently stronger, closer, or more important than anything else.

[rat-rambles]

All QPR are friends not all friends are QPR thats whats platonic means.

And for most of hetronormitive socitiy friends are seen as disposable. Seeing friends as on the same level as family is inherently queer in our society.

And yes what the commitments are is what ever is communicated between the people involved. That being said if your zero comitment fair wether friends thats not QPR. Right now we have people who full chested will be like I won't drive my friends to the air port and they shouldn't drive me. Like the bar isn't high becuase socity puts it that low.

Like people will call some one they talk to at work then never message outside of work friend. They will call someone there friend then not show up for them when there actually need hell. People will call someone friend and then never prioritize them because they have a romantic relationship thats seen as the most important one.

Which for the record low comitment friend ships are cool and fine. They are diffrent from QPR. Everyone needs someone to actually be close to in the way that society expect blood family or romantic bonds to be and not everyone has that. Thats why it's important to have QPR actually mean something to people.

[sortingmyideas]

Not all QPR's involve platonic feelings. A relationship is only platonic if the people involved call it that, the same way a relationship is only romantic is the people involved call it that. There is no one set definition.

I don't disagree that society as a whole devalues and belittles friendship, but your initial wording was "it is a level up from friend" which is just not true. At least not inherently.

There is a huge problem with people putting romance on a pedestal and acting like it's inherently superior to everything else, yes. But claiming QPR's are just "friendship with more commitment" is not the solution, in fact it's doing the exact same things allos are doing with romance.

Low commitment friendships can actually be QPR's, since a QPR is defined entirely by individual experience. It doesn't have one set definition.

I agree that QPR's need to be valued by society the sane way any other relationship should.

And no, not everyone needs someone to be close with. Anattractional people are just as valid as any other.

[aro-ace-chaos]

Yeah QPR is an umbrella term that encompasses relationships like OP is describing, but not exclusively. It's an umbrella term, like non-binary or genderqueer or asexual or aromantic or a lot of other umbrella terms in the queer community.

In the end, the only person who can dictate the rules of a QPR is the people in that specific QPR.

Essentially, it "queers" what people might expect from a typical platonic relationship, but that's the only real requirement. FWB may consider themselves queerplatonic. Someone with a purely platonic marriage may consider themselves queerplatonic.

QPR was literally coined to be versatile and an umbrella term for anything that didn't fall under the traditional definitions of romantic or platonic. Trying to narrow it down and give it rules disregards the entire history of the term.

(Genuinely not trying to be rude or anything, just adding in what I've learned! I did a lot of reading on QPRs when making it's entry in my aspec glossary, and even more reading since then. /gen)

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

gentle reminder that if u feel hungry soon after eating, it might be bc you’re eating mostly carbs without adding enough protein. try eating a handful of nuts or smthing alongside your next meal.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and you don’t have to change the recipe or anything! you can eat what you were going to, just add some cheese cubes or a handful of nuts or salami slices on the side. u don’t have to change your meals, just add a little extra protein

[kreature-ofthenight]

thats nice but what do I need to do If I wake up around 3 am every other night with an unquenchable hunger for flesh even tho I ate normal balanced meals trough the day?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

spoonful of peanut butter

[trustworthymedicaladvice]

another way to manage the undying hunger for flesh is to eat 15-20 live crickets. their souls are weaker than most other animals that size but they are easy to get a hold of and have the best flavor

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this checks out!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

a few people have commented that sometimes heartburn gets mistaken for hunger. I’d never heard that before. If you regularly feel hungry after eating certain types of foods (and adding protein/fat doesn’t help) maybe try chewing an antacid. the digestive tract is dark sorcery basically. an ancient worm coiled in your body whose impish mischief u must appease

[bunnysaige]

transforming superhuman alien warrior society like the Saiyans but instead of monkeys they're bunnies is this anything can this be something

[bunnysaige]

normally they look like regular humans but with little bunny cotton tails

direct exposure to the full moon turns them into a giant fucked up hare

when they're pure of heart and break past their internal and physical limits their regular human ears grow into long bunny ears and they become "Super"

When they're already "Super" and go even further beyond their limits they transform get big floppy loppy bunny ears

There's an ancient and forgotten prophecy about a "Super Bunny God" who was pure of heart and eventually became the original "rabbit in the moon" who now powers every transformation into the Giant Fucked Up Hare form
