describe your goddamn images

adult. verbacious extrovert. IMPORTANT: assume all triggers to be untagged. i’m sorry but this is not a safe space. i try to keep my blog fairly tame but i will forget to tag things sometimes. nothing i post will ever be important enough for you to risk your health.

avatar id: curly haired asian wizard with big brown wings, wearing a red cloak and hat, standing in the soup aisle of a grocery store, holding a can of soup in each hand. caption reads "SOUP MENTIONED".

please interact: people who write fucked up dark fanfic and people who write image descriptions. furries, endogenic systems, and objectums. people who enjoy cringe chronically-online storytelling. people who reclaim slurs and use conflicting labels to describe themselves. people who do not assume that everyone online is from the united states of america.

talk to me about: tumblr mutuals rpf, textile arts, music you and/or i like, anything that happened to you recently, any creative project i've mentioned, any creative project you're working on

about me [carrd]

times i've been (mistakenly) marked explicit: 9 times i've been (accurately) marked explicit: 0 times i've hit post limit: 40 sideblogs: 13 sideblogs in active use: 6

regarding trigger tags: please assume all triggers to be untagged. i’m sorry but this is not a safe space. i try to keep my blog fairly tame and tag when it's not, but i will forget to tag things sometimes. nothing i post will ever be important enough for you to risk your health. starting june 2025 you can be guaranteed that #flashing and #eyestrain are tagged, as judged by my own personal metric. that is the only guarantee i have.

regarding imitative/derivative work: i would be honoured if something i made inspired you to make something, or commission someone else to make something, or ask me to make more of it. please tag me in such creations. i do also have a paypal if you're really serious about liking what i do. conversely, please do not feed a generative AI any of my creations and ask it to produce something in my style. i am right here and i am always willing to commit to a bit, for free even.

some tags i use (more in the tags of this post)

"best of" souplover13:

#soup.LOVER: humanity is just full of love and that is awesome, actually. also things i love.

#soup.song: i love music! recommendations for if you want something fun to listen to.

#peace and accessibility on planet earth: image descriptions and plaintext transcriptions. i started the tag well after i started describing and transcribing, but you can be guaranteed that every image on my blog after June 2025 has a description either in alt text or in the body of the post, or has been tagged #undescribed. for the most part this means i described it.

please tag me in posts i'd like:

#waso <2: birds! i love them.

#SOUP MENTIONED: it's me!

i make original posts:

#soup.en: original posts in english

#soupe.fr: articles originaux en français.

#soppa.sv: egna inlägg på svenska.

#art.soup: my creations, whether drawn, written, or something else entirely. ongoing projects include: #soup.rpf [sign up here] in which i put my mutuals in situations, #ruralmeshi, a rural canada au of dungeon meshi which i promise i will post more about soon, and #heretic pride live comp, in which i compile my favourite live tape of each song on the mountain goats' album heretic pride from the live music archive.

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

[revizyonist]

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you

[ancelineonline]

I have four kids. I’ve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.

This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldn’t feed them before those instances.

I’m not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.

[bowditch]

i did know this before having kids (i have six). we have a kid that's needed multiple procedures requiring anesthesia. and every single time, i am asked multiple times if i'm sure he was not given any food or water after a certain point.

every single time i have had to say, "i understand that if he had food or water, he could aspirate it into his lungs under anesthesia. i am not lying to you." THEN someone would make a little note and i would stop being repeatedly asked.

not a single time was that risk explained to me. the only reason it came up was because i already knew. i still don't understand why it isn't standard pre-op counseling or pre-op check information, when me as a parent acknowledging the actual risk also put THE MEDICAL STAFF at ease because i conveyed that i had informed understanding as reason to not lie about giving my kid food.

"maybe some people will get nervous and refuse surgery" okay so they need more counseling about risks and anxiety, not less information in a way that actually does endanger their child or themselves!

I saw this video about a doctor who performed an MRI on a 5 year old and discovered she essentially had “brain damage” from excessive iPad use, as the white matter in her brain couldn’t form properly due to an understimulated environment.

Hmm it’s almost like there’s supposed to be adult figures responsible for monitoring her screen time and making sure she develops properly… certainly this isn’t the result of neglect at the hands of her parents…

[rottingtrouble-child]

“This 5 year old is brain damaged by excessive iPad use”

Translation: This 5 year old is developmentally impaired by neglectful parents who used an iPad as a stand-in for social and environmental stimulation / interaction for hours at a time during critical early stages of child development. The iPad is the cop-out.

[rottingtrouble-child]

“Children don’t have the strength to hold pencils anymore because they only use screens.”

Translation: Parents aren’t making the conscious effort to help their children develop necessary skills and letting iPads raise them.

When are people going to realize the iPads and whatnot are the instruments through which the neglect is happening through and not the cause? How the fuck do you let your child have such a severe lack of physical strength in their hands that they can’t hold a pencil properly?

[rottingtrouble-child]

People will see a study suggesting children with higher screen times have poorer or negative developmental outcomes and immediately say it’s the screens causing this, and not the more likely fact that higher screen time = less engagement time with their environment, physical exercise, parents, family, and their peers, all of which are NECESSARY for a healthy upbringing as a social species.

It’s like saying a dog who was kept in a cage all its life and left with atrophied muscles was damaged by the cage, and not by the fact its owners were too lazy to play or walk their dog in order for its muscles to build properly. The cage is the instrument of neglect and the owners are the perpetrators, in the same way parents are the perpetrators and weaponizing screen time as an excuse and painting themselves as helpless bystanders.

the funniest moment in dungeon meshi is when marcille is having her nightmare and brings up her dead bird while also talking about her dead dad, saying “papa and pipi” and laios automatically assumes pipi is marcilles third nonbinary parent on top of her mom and dad

[ouppygirlcity]

[kallistoi]

[image description: a panel from the dungeon meshi manga showing young marcille pulling laios through her nightmare at a panicked run and shouting, "it swallowed up papa and pipi!" laios says, "papa and pipi..." he pictures a family tree with simplified smiley faces, one with a mustache labelled "papa," one with no distinguishing features but a question mark over their head, labelled "pipi," and a third with lipstick labelled "mama." they are all three connected to the next generation, marcille, who is distinguished by braids. end description.]

[prokopetz]

A problem with the whole Important Queer Media™ discourse is that a lot of folks don't seem to be able to parse "Important" as anything other than a moral judgment, and it's really not. Art is a dialogue. All works are in conversation with other works, and sometimes, works that have merit are deeply in conversation with works that suck. Acting like we can't talk about the latter at all is essentially demanding that we imagine an alternative universe in which those works weren't part of the conversation, yet somehow we ended up in the same place – and while alt-history may be a fun intellectual exercise, it's not a great critical lens.
