Kia ora koutou!

My name is Sylphid. I am a Pākehā trans woman living in Aotearoa New Zealand. While I do largely just reblog posts I am starting to post more of my thoughts these days so a little bio is in order.

Profile

My pronouns are she/her. I also have other pronouns I am trying out, so if you're a mutual, just ask, and I'll DM them. I'm Pākehā, and for non-New Zealanders, that means I'm white. I'm currently studying history as my second degree after somehow earning myself a Computer Science degree I ended up regretting.

I'm a leftist, transfeminist, and staunchly anti-imperialist. If you're a transmisogynist, Zionist, support the American military or are in any way pro-colonisation, just do me a favour and block me. On the other hand, I am just starting to read through leftist theory, so if you have any suggested reads for me, send them to me. I'm always looking to read more.

As for properties I'm a fan of, I'll provide a list below, though I will not stick to just one fandom. I'll also just reblog any art I like, even if I haven't read, played or seen the property in question.

Things I like

Games

Fate (especially Fate/GO, currently playing through Stay Night)

Trails in the Sky

Final Fantasy XIV

Xenoblade Chronicles

Ace Attorney

Of the Devil

Metroid

Tales of Berseria

Studio Élan Visual Novels

Fire Emblem

HoyoVerse

Castlevania

CrossCode

Retro Games in general

And plenty of other Fantasy RPGs and Strategy Games

Anime/Manga

Revolutionary Girl Utena

Yuri in general (so many series)

And some scattered anime like Apothecary Diaries, Bocchi, Gundam etc. etc.

Movies/TV

I was raised on a diet of Star Wars and Lord of the Rings so I could talk for hours about them.

Star Wars is bad though.

Doctor Who

Game of Thrones

Jurassic Park

Alien

The Thing

Sci-Fi Horror in general

Kaiju movies, especially Godzilla

There's likely more to add, but I'm moreso providing these as conversation starters. Outside of fiction I adore animals, both living and prehistoric, and history in general so if you send me a cool animal or a history fact I'm immediately following you back. Naturally DMs are open as well feel free to come chat.

small tips for Enjoying Being Alive from someone who went from wanting to die to genuinely loving life. these won't fix your life but they'll make it a lot easier to want to live day by day. I promise.

tell yourself things you do not believe. it feels stupid at first but I've done this for years and now I believe it when I say "I'm good at this" or "I love myself" or "I deserve good shit!"

make a note of every mundane good thing that happens to you. mental or literal notes! could be as little as "the sky is a nice shade of grey, it's calming" or "I ate a piece of fruit today, I'm looking after myself" or "I talked to a friend". again, feels stupid at first, but I genuinely believe this is part of why I have so many "good days". trick your brain into storing things in your long-term memory that you wouldn't otherwise remember.

diet deficiencies can make you properly miserable. your physical health impacts your mental health more than you'd think. get some vitamins, some omega-3s and so on. whether from food or supplements. they can make quite a difference! your brain is responsible for a LOT of the way you feel, and giving it the fatty acids it needs to function at its best can go a long way.

[crabussy]

I know these all sound like stupid junk people who have never wanted to die tell you. I know they sound like dumb "self-help" tips written by people who have suffered mild anxiety at worst.

they're coming from someone who had multiple daily panic attacks for half a decade. someone who genuinely felt like he did not deserve to live. someone who hated himself so much he convinced himself he was irredeemably evil. someone who loves being alive these days, even though it's difficult sometimes.

you truly don't have to follow any of this advice. but just read through. store it in the back of your mind. come back to it when you want. best of luck. [:

These are genuinely great! If I can add a small comment it would be to try to change scenery every now and then, take a different route home and go for walks. And make appointments to meet your friends!

[crabussy]

ABSOLUTELY. anytime I feel myself descending into a slump where everything feels wrong and bad and gross and hard, I go on a Weird Walk. I choose a familiar destination (the dairy, the beach, a specific hill) and intentionally choose a route I've never tried before. it's crazy but it makes me feel better almost instantly, even if the new walk is worse than my usual route. your brain CRAVES new stimulation! you are a member of a species with one of the most active brains in the animal kingdom. please try not to live like a hamster.
