In case you've never had swimmer's ear I literally feel like I'm dying. I have about 75% of my hearing left in my right ear and my left ear is completely closed over. My throat hurts. My jaw hurts. I'm on a soup and ice cream diet because I can't really chew. I'm staggering ibuprofen and acetaminophen to keep my fever at bay and the pain manageable.

Get earplugs. Wear earplugs in the water. Even if you've never had it happen before, it can happen literally any time and it's the worst.

i get so worried abt being seen as butch in public not bc im ashamed but bc i dont think im seen as butch. like.... i wear skirts regularly, im incredibly goth, i dont fit into the "normal" butch aesthetic. but im Butch bc thats My Identity in this partnership- thats Who I Am. not despite i wear skirts but Because of it, not despite im goth but Because of it. idk really what im saying here I guess the imposter syndrome around being Butch really hits me sometimes

ID: Text from the poem "On Distortion" by Torrin A. Greathouse. The poem reads: "One of us will be assumed the other's keeper; one of us will be assumed a burden, even if we can't carry each other alone." End ID

Hi, welcome to our queer blog. You'll find us posting all manner of things here!

Ark will tag noir posts with #ark post and Mantis will tag hir posts with #mantis post. Some other things: we'll tag gender posts with #gender post, we'll tag identity posts with #identity post, and posts about us/our relationship as #qpr post.

We're both queer plural systems. We're in a queerplatonic relationship (12/29/2019). We are in nonhuman aroacespec lesbian queerplatonic love <2

More information about us under the cut!

We'll block you if we don't want you to follow us

Mod Mantis: The system's host is a butch agender/gendervoid person with no presentation/narcesse presentation who does not use terms like transmasc, transfem, or transneutral. Ze is aroace with a focus on being aromantic (loveless, amatopunk, voidpunk, lovequeer) and a lesbian. Rot loves horror, writing, analyzing literature, and queer history + community.

As a system, Mod Mantis uses rot/it/they pronouns. The system is queer.

Mod Ark: Noi is an abroplatonic, abrogender asexual with lesbian-leaning feelings. Ark prefers the term queer to describe tics feelings. Ark is quiet but likes to talk when the mood hits. Noi enjoys plush animals, drawing, animals, and trying to find labels that fit noir.

As a system, they use they / noi / tic pronouns.
