Have you ever seen the animated movie "9"? I was just thinking about how the nine creatures in the movie corresponded to parts of their creator's soul, and how there are nine Garde, and I just wanted to give you some food for thought.

omg I’m so sorry this took so long

no, I haven’t. it sounds interesting though.

Headcanon: Like me, you'd most likely raise your kids in the Gallifreyan Tradition. Your kids would occasionally confuse the hell out of relatives and people at school because of this.

Oh, they would. When I have children, I will raise them in the Gallifreyan Tradition, and teach them academic pursuits at a young age, like I was taught by my father. Languages, philosophy, classic literature, all that.

Does anyone know of a non-appropriative hairstyle...

I would suggest looking through hairstyle galleries on pinterest or weheartit for inspiration. Hair is not my area of expertise.

Thanks for the advice. Really. I’ve tried those, though, and they all require hair longer than I can comfortably grow mine. I just saw that post of yours and sort of got back to wishing I could do something that pretty without appropriating another culture.

I know what you mean

I am going to explode into a ball of cosmic time energy. Which may make some of my problems go away, at least.

I'm pro-choice af, but there's a story arc in the fanfiction series I'm writing that could possibly be construed as an anti-choice allegory. How can I keep readers from getting that impression?

I’m sure there are lots of ways you could so I encourage the other mods to add your ideas, these are the ones I can think of. - Put a disclaimer in your A/N- Use careful wording (e. g. don’t use terms like “unborn babies”, avoid gendered slurs)- Make it clear that the person chose to have an abortion- Write a bit about the difficult decision your character made to have an abortion if this is the case- Maybe include an argument between your character and an anti-choicer

Hope this helped some! 🙂-E

Hey, I've recently started stimming by tapping a repetitive four-count rhythm over and over again (similarly to The Master from Doctor Who.) Is this appropriate, or am I perpetuating harmful stereotypes by mimicking a canonically "insane" character?

A neurodivergent person can never perpetuate stereotypes of neurodivergent people. It’s up to neurotypicals to stop being prejudiced, not neurodivergents to stop being, well, neurodivergent! There’s also no such thing as a harmful stereotype, only people being harmful because of how they view that stereotype.

Do note: It’s perfectly possible for a neurodivergent person to be prejudiced against other neurodivergent people displaying stereotypical behaviour. This is, again, not on the “stereotypical” one, but on the one judging the other for being “stereotypical”.

And it’s never, ever okay to throw stereotypical behaviour under the bus. For example, I saw a post earlier that said “Bipolar isn't just going from happy to angry all the time” and I complained to my partner because that literally is what it is for me. So I leave you with a quote from him: “Some people don't understand that they're sometimes actually just as bad when they try to defend a group they aren't part of.”

tl;dr: Displaying stereotypical behaviour is totally fine and if anyone has a problem with that they’re an ableist prick.

Is there like an actual term for a person who isn't otherkin? I've heard "cisspecies" used but mainly just by trolls and the term just seems really gross anyway. Is there a word that would be better?

Hmmm.... I don’t think so! You would probably just say “not otherkin” if needed. And yeah, cisspecies is usually used by trolls. I wouldn’t trust to use that.

But my Evangelical grandparents put a stop to that really quick. I don't want to say I'm trans, because that seems like a lot of surgeries and hormones and shit that I've got way too much executive dysfunction to deal with. Help??

Trans does not imply that you HAVE to experience dysphoria of any kind. Trans is an umbrella term for those who do not fit in the gender binary, or recognize themselves as a gender besides the one they were born with.
