i love being tall, i kinda wish i was taller.
i'm kinda addicted to wearing heels bc height mogging (yes, sorry for the tiktok slang) makes me feel like another species completely and therefore has stopped me from comparing myself/calmed my not so great social anxiety in some ways.
(for context im around 5'11/180 normally, so i can get to like 6'1 sometimes w heels)
reblog and put in the tags what your childhood password that you just stuck with is!
i'm sure i'm late to this, but i only just put it together.
So I attemped to make audiosexual and audioromantic flags!
Audio - Attraction based on the sound of someone's voice.
(Coined by @beyond-mogai-pride-flags )
The red/orange one is for deeper voices, Bass tones are reds-yellow shades on the frequency spectrum.
And the blue one is for higher voices which are green-blue shades on the frequency spectrum.
What do you think?
Those are some great flags! However, we did not coin the term Audio-. The earliest I recall seeing it was when it had been submitted to the long since defunct blog mogai-archive. Just wanted to clear that up. ๐

hey OCD havers. it can be a little hard to have OCD and be on the internet, right? especially in fandom spaces. the culture has become somewhat hostile to us. but i have good news! it is very possible to have fun online with your friends while avoiding the more inflammatory corners of the internet!
here are some tips for my fellow OCD havers on navigating life online:
you don't have to respond to every single message you get. if someone is trying to bait you into an argument that doesn't appear to be in good faith, you can ignore it. you should ignore it. this is especially true if the message includes a false or exaggerated accusation about you. you owe this person nothing. don't give them ammunition
moral OCD can trick you into joining in on discourse because it's the 'right' thing to do. don't do it. it is only going to make you feel worse and won't actually help anyone. if someone sends you an anon asking you if you support someone you've never heard of that has apparently done multiple terrible things, there's a 99% chance they are trying to trick you into joining a harassment campaign. turn off anons. block anyone who sends you messages like this, they're likely trying to get you to do their dirty work.
the block button is your best friend. you can block anyone you want. if someone is posting something that's making you uncomfortable or feeding your obsessions or compulsions, block them. even if it's stuff that you think you need to be 'aware' of. your mental health comes first. blocking people before they can start shit with you is also pretty handy! something i do occasionally is search names of the latest Main Character Of The Internet and block people posting about it who seem prone to joining in on online hate mobs in general. only do this if you're feeling up for it, this can trigger your OCD.
if you have real event or false memory OCD, online climates can make you feel like you have to "confess" to them publicly. confession is a compulsion, don't do it. the only person who needs to hear about your real event or your false memories is your therapist. you should only discuss these things with professionals who can help you deal with them in the appropriate way. strangers on the internet cannot do that for you. also, no one asking you about your real event or false memories is doing so in good faith. block them
responsibility OCD can also trick you into joining in on discourse. "oh, but if i don't also post about this, what if someone gets hurt because i didn't say anything?". listen. listen to me. posting very, very rarely brings about material change. OCD is so rotten because it correctly identifies you as a person with strong feelings about making the world a better place, and then tricks you into hurting yourself over it in a way that doesn't actually help anyone. joining in on posting about these situations will only end up hurting you. you can make a difference in the world, but not like this. responsibility OCD is lying to you
familiarize yourself with online privacy and internet safety, but be careful. these are real things to be concerned about and they should be taken very seriously, but also something that OCD can latch onto very quickly and create further obsessions about. no one's going to track down your home address from a text post you made about what you had for dinner so there's no need to lie awake all night thinking about that. but posting a bunch of pictures around your identifiable hometown in quick succession probably isn't the best idea, so deleting those is probably for the best. be smart, but try not to panic over what ifs. we can cross those bridges when we come to them
get a group chat!!!!!!!! seriously. sometimes you wanna vent about some stupid shit you saw online, but it's almost always best done privately. get a group chat with some like minded friends and vent there instead. you might find your friends are in need of a private space to rant instead of their public blogs too! this goes for everyone, btw, not just folks with OCD
honestly, every day i find it a little harder to exist as a person with OCD online. there's so much out there that can trigger us and make our OCD worse, without us even knowing it at the time. but this blog will always be a safe place for folks with OCD, and i will always share my tips and tricks for having fun online despite the evil gremlin that lives in my head! you've got this. i'm in your corner ๐งก
โThe axe forgets, but the tree remembersโ is typically a very true statement. Unless, of course, you have moral ocd, in which case the axe has been haunted for weeks and the tree does not remember or care. In fact, many sources report that the axe, which is actually a plastic butter knife, has never been anywhere near a forest. And also there is no tree.
my therapist suggested i imagine my intrusive thoughts in the voice of donald trump bc i do not possess an ounce of respect for him or trust in his competence. going thru it today so i made this. hope this helps
Sometimes you might have intrusive thoughts. Things so horrid that youโd be afraid of anyone finding out because you presume theyโd judge you horribly. They could be violent, sexual, or just plain gross or mean.
Voices, internal or auditory hallucinations, can also be that way. Maybe theyโre saying awful things or telling you to be violent. Maybe what theyโre saying is so abhorrent it makes you think that youโre terrible and there must be something wrong with you.
Let me just say: they are not your fault. You are not your intrusive thoughts or voices. No matter what they say it is not a reflection on you. You arenโt terrible even if they are.

before you ask "are the gods mad at me?" THINK:
have you...
1. killed or maimed someone
2. killed or maimed an animal for purposes other than consuming/processing it
3. knowingly and purposefully hurled vile obscenities or insults at any god or gods
4. made it a life goal to be a terrible person
5. been a terf
IF YOU SAID NO TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS then girl you're fine go have a dr. pepper
Aphrodite who cries for the people who hurt themselves because self love is love too
Artemis who doesnโt hunt animals anymore (humans do it enough) She now walks in clubs looking to hunt the real animal
Athena who donates hundreds of books to local libraries and schools
Apollo who watches all street musicians hoping their talents can get them a little money (He gives more than a little)
Dionysus who watches over everyoneโs drinks at the bar making sure they stay safe
Zeus who makes it rain for the couples that just want to frolic and dance and kiss in the rain
Hera who donates to womanโs and SA survivors shelters
Ares who is at the forefront of every protest because those are battles too
Hestia who holds and keeps thousands of secrets so the ones who whispered them into flame donโt have to
Hades who letโs families get one last goodbye to a loved one before they die
Persephone who personally makes sure that the ones taken too early feel safe and secure in the Underworld
Demeter who gives Her best crops to food banks and homeless shelters
Hecate who is a street magician and does actual magical for the kids
Poseidon who finds the best seashells and leaves them on the beach for someone to find and treasure
the Gods arenโt gone they ARE the little things in life
May Apollo, bearer of the silver bow, strikes all the generative AI data centers with his arrows.
I love the casual substitution of "gods" instead of "god" in colloquial sayings. "oh my gods" "gods, my feet hurt" etc etc. like yeah deconstruct the societal standard of monotheism with me. let's party
Hades taught me that external validation and others' opinions on me don't matter.
Persephone taught me that I can start over and over and over because change is inevitable and necessary.
Hermes taught me that I am the only one stabilising limits around myself.
Aphrodite taught me that I have to do things from love, not for love.
Hermes befriending Apollo after stealing his cows and seducing Aphrodite after stealing her sandal makes me think that stealing people's shit and luring them out to talk to him is just Hermes' default method of getting people to like him
May the Gods make you feel safe, loved and protected. They love you, and just another day of existing is beautiful to them.
Times that feel hard won't last forever ๐
