do NOT send me requests asking me to spread your fundraiser; i have zero income and very few followers, so i have very little to offer you in your efforts.
that aside, hi, i'm sye (he/they). i needed a new pinned post so i decided to make one.
i'm a writer and an artist, 30+, and i really like talking about my own characters/OCs. i've been trying to post more about my characters and stories here, and decided to create this post partially so i could have an easily accessible tag directory on my blog. i do reblog fandom stuff too but i am far more invested in my own projects.
note for anyone who decides to follow me: this blog is not strictly speaking NSFW. i do not make or reblog Explicit porn or text posts or anything like that, nor will i reblog extreme gore. However, i will often reblog art with artistic nudity, mild amounts of blood / light gore, or dirty / somewhat sexual or violent joke / comedy posts, including ones that reference kinks and/or fetishes. for that reason, i generally give my own blog a rough age rating of 16+. i am not necessarily against older teenagers following this blog, but i wouldn't say that the contents of this blog are appropriate for younger audiences.
in other words: be warned that there will be some amount of mild sexual content, nonsexual artistic nudity, and light violent imagery on my blog sometimes, but nothing highly explicit, and not super frequently. please do not follow me if you would have a problem with seeing any of this, especially if you are a minor who is highly sensitive to seeing any artistic nudity or discussions of sex and sexuality, or easily upset by the sight of blood.
additionally, as of 3/19/2026, i am going to be a little bit more open about my plurality on my blog. not about the nature of the plurality itself or anything about how it functions. no, instead i am going to allow some of my mental neighbors to start talking and posting on my blog.
i will signal when a different system member aside from myself is talking primarily by putting a specific associated emoji at the beginning of a tag or section of text they are typing. i will also assign myself an emoji to signal when i'm taking the reins of the post/tags back. anyone interacting with my blog is also allowed to ask questions of or generally talk to the system members who are using my blog directly, but all of us reserve the right to be vague or not answer specific questions.
my system is quite extensive and complex, but currently i have only five specific system mates who extensively interact with people outside of the system. i will refer to them on here only with aliases instead of calling them their actual names, and they will only respond to these particular aliases.
system member list
(each system member's associated emoji will be next to their aliases)
đsye classic: if you've followed my blog long enough you probably have figured out some Stuff about me. generally speaking i will not signal myself out with the đ emoji unless i am actively trying to distinguish myself from some of my other guys talking, so if you see tags or text in a post with no emojis preceding any part of it, that's 100% home-grown organic sye. he/they.
đĄď¸Silver: i like looking at nice rocks and cool little trinkets, and generally lurking around every corner like it's my job. will probably not be too talkative but im Always Watching. im hiding in the vents at all times, and that's only half a joke. he/they.
𧿠Sariel: just a funny lil guy. silly little jester asshole and no more than that, i prommy. dont look at me, im a normal cool guy. they/them.
đĽ Seylsum:system regulator and certified Big Fucking Guy. keeping the peace in here but used to be the #1 Problems Causer On Purpose. i got better though. they/them.
đ Selen: An appreciator of the performing arts and all things celestial. Lover of the moon and stars. Showy? Perhaps. But I'll always make sure it's a show worth watching. đThey/them.
𪜠Aldric: Quiet but always present. I enjoy making the occasional joke at Sye's expense but don't worry, if he's posting it he's being a good sport about it. Currently partnered to the love of my life. Interests in coins / coin collecting, embroidery, and lockpicking. Probably the most active system member currently, though Selen is a close second. Not an angel, but always polite. He/him.

One of my favorite things about Put Baby In Pelican Mouth is that not only does the pelican have the intelligence necessary to speak human language but also knows how to lie, suggesting it has a theory of mind, yet not enough to understand that no one is going to put baby in pelican mouth.
To be entirely fair to the pelican, I have seen humans do much, much dumber things with their infants. The park rangers in Louisiana ha e to regularly tell people to not put their babies on the ground next to the gators for a pic.
In fact, it could be argued that the peculiar grammar used by the pelican in the Put Baby In Pelican Mouth post is deliberate, like how phishers use major grammar errors in their messages so that people too smart for the scam (or smart enough to report them) ignore the emails and the scammer can focus on the most likely marks.
Regardless, the pelican is right: there is absolutely someone dumb enough to put a baby in its mouth because it asked politely. Probably dozens on that beach alone.
Put baby in pelican mouth for Instagram photo. Facebook photo of baby in pelican mouth for many likes and also happy asleep baby. So cute baby in pelican mouth for video on TikTok. Youtube short of baby so cute in soft pelican mouth for so many views to Youtube channel. Baby in pelican mouth challenge.
if you approached me ten years ago and said to me in 2016 that in ten years time teto fuckikn kasane was experiencing an absolutely insane burst of popularity and was genuinely starting to make inroads into approaching a similar level of fame as miku i would have told you to stop fuckin lying to me. and yet here we are.
During a 300 mile house move. Please note the plentiful, stable perches just out of frame; each with a miniature sprig of millet near them, and each entirely unoccupied for the majority of the journey đ
as a person under the agender/nonbinary umbrella I actually think the recently increased focus on a nonbinary personâs agab is insanely fucking uncomfortable and blatantly exorsexist. Stop trying to sort NB people into boxes of amab vs afab, transfem vs transmasc, tma vs tme, etc etc. It is not praxis or activism to keep attempting to binarize people whose entire identities are built around the fact that they DO NOT ADHERE to a binary. You are just being a fucking tar pit #sorry
tma and tme are to describe one's relationship to transmisogyny. it's similar to describing a relationship to anti-blackness by "creating a binary" of black and non-black (which includes white people, latino people, asian people, etc). tme includes anyone who is not transfeminized (such as cis men, cis women, trans men, etc). just because there are two categories of something doesn't mean you're getting forced into a gender binary. ignoring your relationship to transmisogyny by refusing to understand what tme/tma means is exactly the same as ignoring your relationship to anti-blackness by saying "i dont see color", because sure, you can ignore that there's a structural & systemic issue regarding a specific demographic, but it doesn't mean its not there!
nigga did your white ass really just come onto a black personâs post to try and lecture them about not knowing their own relationship to antiblackness
number one check yourself. Number two comparing TMA/TME to anti-Blackness is a false dichotomy and I need white queer people to stop trying to compare themselves to Black people every single chance they get. oh my god
The two are NOT similar. If you really wanna play the game of equating race and gender, then the equivalent to âBlack and nonblackâ would be transfem/trans woman and non-transfem/trans woman, not TMA/TME. I can assure you that NO black person is going around saying âantiblack racism affected vs antiblack racism exempt.â Because That Is Stupid.
EVERYONE is affected by antiblackness, because of how deeply itâs ingrained into our entire societal structure. You cannot write off specific demographics as not being affected by certain forms of oppression or discrimination, because the nature of living in a white supremacist-capitalist-patriarchy is that ALL of these systems are INTRINSICALLY connected with each other, and affect EVERYONE to some degree. There are countless historical examples of antiblack legislation directly impacting poor communities of other racial groups- including white people. There are primary targets of discrimination, obviously, but nobody is truly âexemptâ from any sort of oppressive system unless they are at the VERY top of the damn food chain.
In the same vein, the intersection of transphobia and misogyny is ALSO deeply ingrained into our society. And because of that, nobody is truly âtransmisogyny-exempt.â Even people who arenât the primary targets are still directly impacted and negatively affected by transmisogynistic systems. I find TMA/TME to be useless in terms of categorization because it directly posits that everyone who gets sorted into the latter group just doesnât experience any oppression or discrimination derived from transmisogynistic bases at all, which is ridiculous, because that happens All the time.
A trans man or enby whoâs mistaken for a trans woman and is assaulted for it, a cis man whoâs belittled and attacked on the basis of being Too Feminine, a cis woman whoâs publicly shamed, derided, and transvestigated for having testosterone levels that are âtoo high,â are all examples of non-transfem/trans woman groups being negatively affected on the basis of transmisogyny.
Poor white people being affected by legislation meant to target and attack Black populations and the massive trend of colorism throughout Asian communities are examples of nonblack groups being negatively affected on the basis of antiblackness.
You cannot sort people by what oppression they do and do not face, and attempts to do so are inherently exclusionary and are bound to lead back into denying people of their lived experiences, just because they donât line up perfectly into these specific categories of âthis genre of person goes through thisâ vs âthis genre of person doesnât go through that.â
I believe that TMA/TME was coined with the best intentions, but the problem is that itâs a clumsy dichotomy and the way a lot of people tend to use it ends up leading back into the same issues of being binary (âamab trans people experience this, afab trans people donât experience thatâ) and then THAT leads back into a whole heaping mess in and of itself
Talking about the way transfeminized people are targeted by transmisogyny is not a bad thing in and of itself! But like, you can just say transfem/non-transfem- or even just âtransfeminizedâ to describe the position oppressors will often place people into in order to enact transmisogynistic violence against them- instead of directly trying to state what different groups of people Do And Donât Experience. you can say âprimary targets of transmisogynyâ without directly implying that certain groups are exempt from it all together.
THAT is my issue at hand when it comes to TMA/TME. It is an awkward framework to describe oppression, because oppression doesnât work like that in reality
