The Cryptid of Bonesborough

They/Paw/Fox/It | My main blog, for art, unhinged rants and my smaller stories. I talk about politics! I interoret art! I voice my opinions! I'm sort of punk, sort of crowcore, with little bits of scene, emo, decora and metalhead depending on my mood.

Me and my stuff

Hi! I'm, depending on the platform, either Misodragon or some combination of Cryptid, Creature, Fox and Moss.

I'm working on a DBDA Paranormal au, so all posts about that are tagged with #paranormal au

🪶My Artfight: The_lil_critter

There, you'll find all of the Characters from my WIP Webcomic/Graphic Novel, the Flipside! You can't read it anywhere yet, but I'm planning on publishing it on tumblr and tapas and/or webtoon!

🪶My AO3: The_cryptid_of_bonesborough

I mostly write DBDA and TOH fics, with the occasional TMA, Rabbitology, Lemon Demon, HTTYD, Before We Disappear and Glitch Techs in planning or contained as a theme.

🪶My Youtube channel: Misodragon

I mostly post Dragon Puppet stuff there, but also some of my other art!

🪶I don't have a DNI! I do talk about mature topics if they come up, but I will always try and tag them. I don't really talk about nsfw stuff much, and if I do, not in explicit detail.

If you disagree with me on things, tell me respectfully! I love debating and exchanging viewpoints, but if you're being standoffish or rude for the sake of it, I will block you.

I think we need to kill the sentiment that people lose their right to personhood once they do something bad enough

[vulturevanity]

I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to stop dehumanising people even if those people are "abusers" or "creeps" because you need to understand that you are not immune to doing something equally as bad

Abusers and creeps are not some species of especially heinous animal or alien or monster wearing the face of a human. They're people. And you NEED to drill it into your head that they are people because you NEED to remember that people are capable of doingn heinous shit. And you are a person. And your loved ones are people.

By emotionally classifying people who have done heinous things as subhuman filth incapable of thinking and feeling and acting just like you and me, and by using that emotional dehumanization as a reason to deny those people any compassion or support on a systemic level, you risk becoming blind to abuse/violence perpetrated by someone close to you or even yourself. Because if "abusers don't deserve rights", then you won't ever want to admit or accept that you or a loved one is perpetrating abuse, and that makes stopping the abuse or preventing further abuse much harder. This is how you end up excuaing abusive behaviour on the grounds that, since you don't see someone as a disgusting subhuman pile of garbage therefore they can't possibly be An Abuser, Trademark

[vulturevanity]

And here'a the even harder pill to swallow: since the world isn't split into "abusers" and "good people", in the same way you or someone you love can inflict abuse/violence on others, the people who HAVE inflicted abuse/violence on others can, in fact, change and become better people

There is no bottomless chasm of moral uncleanliness that someone can run off and fall into and get stuck in forever. People can do better. Yes, even those people. You HAVE to accept this. Otherwise not only is there no motivation for anyone to try and do better (which is when people become stuck in a cycle of violence and abuse they don't want to escape), but your idea of a perfect justice system doesn't look any different from Literal Christian Hell. And I HOPE you understand that Literal Christian Hell is, to put it very lightly, not a good justice system.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

THIS is why I hate that people justify the inhuman conditions in many countries' prisons by saying "but most of the people in there have done horrible things like rape or murder" yeah well maybe I don't give a shit because they still have human rights according to the fucking constitution???

“stop traumadumping to your friends tell this to your therapist” my god they paywalled human connection

[big-edies-sun-hat]

“If a friend of mine gave a feast, and did not invite me to it, I should not mind a bit. but if a friend of mine had a sorrow and refused to allow me to share it, I should feel it most bitterly. If he shut the doors of the house of mourning against me, I would move back again and again and beg to be admitted so that I might share in what I was entitled to share. If he thought me unworthy, unfit to weep with him, I should feel it as the most poignant humiliation.”

Oscar Wilde

[random-indian-girl]

It is for a reason Hanya Yanagihara once wrote:

Friendship was witnessing another’s slow drip of miseries, and long bouts of boredom, and occasional triumphs. It was feeling honored by the privilege of getting to be present for another person’s most dismal moments, and knowing that you could be dismal around him in return.

[izzynstuffz]

hey by the way. if yall are ever feeling shitty. im here! i promise! i can try to help or i can just listen! i love you guys!

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

I agree with what you guys mean, but let's not forget what traumadumping actually means, and that it's a very unhealthy thing to do?

Telling people about your problems and sharing your traumatic memories with trusted friends is good, and a very normal thing to do. That isn't traumadumping. It's not the same as randomly and unpromptedly sharing very traumatic and dark things about yourself without asking, or going into too much detail, risking triggering other people.

NOW Traumadumping doesn't make you a bad person and it often just happens on accident, especially with autistic people and those who aren't aware of how bad what happened to them actually is.

It's not evil and it's still better than never telling anyone anything, but distinguishing between healthy communication/venting to friends and traumadumping/unhealthy coping mechanisms is actually important

Person doesn't sound like a word anymore... (Edit #21)

Characters: Troll Son & Tobias

Song: A Person - Sparkbird

This idea hit me when I listened to the song for I think only the third time ever (while I was supposed to be working but shush) and have been waiting for a chance to make this for a while now. Sparkbird music just works so well for edits what can I say :>

[sparkbirdmusic]

shoot from the hip edit to A Person?!? this is like... one of the only uses of this song in existence. bless your gay heart.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

SPARKBIRD IS A SHOOT FROM THE HIP FAN?!?! /pos

[hotcryptidsummer]

The people who say "if men could get pregnant abortion would be free" get real quiet when you mention trans men. Sure that means nothing.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

I mean I agree that trans men are often ignored in these debates, but I do agree with the original sentiment.

If most MenTM (As in the socioeconomic class, what your conservative uncle sees as men, whatever u wanna call that category) could get pregnant or had periods, they would be treated different. Abortion would be more accessible.

Idk if it's the Autism making me misunderstand you, but I don't think disregarding that whole idea just because some men can get pregnant is a bit unfair.

insane headline to pair with the actual photo of the beastie itself

this is just a gormless little creature. what are we doing here.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

I have personal beef with that fuckin headline.

Like wdym ugly, she's my baby boy

I once mixed up the name of goblin sharks with dwarf sharks so I accidentally had to do a presentation on them instead of the small cute sharks and I've loved the fuckers ever since

Also that's like the most gorgeous photo of a goblin shark they could've chosen

[proteusolm]

The Ojibwe nailed it. Wawa is exactly the right name for a goose.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

One of my OCs is Ojibwe and I feel like the Tumblr Gods have delivered me crucial information

[breadbut3d]

I've reached the point of my obsession where I've started mesuring time with the date the show was released. I wish I was joking. I just saw a youtube video and my first thought was "omg this came out the same year as dbda!" ITS BEEN 6 FUCKING DAYS.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

reminds me of the time I checked what year my building's elevator was built and my brain went "holy shit this elevator was built before Freddy Fazbear's Pizzaria existed!"

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

[starlingsongs-deactivated201608]

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

[cyberlesbiab-deactivated2021052]

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

[bitterbearsf]

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

[internutter]

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

R E M E M B E R

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

Fr, if black trans women, homeless drag queens and the biracial drag king lesbian Stormè DeLarveriè hadn't gotten sick of the Cops we would have nowhere NEAR the rights we do today, so when people pretend that being trans is this weird novel invention or when people say that Stonewall was just a bunch of white middle class gay men, I just ignore the rest of their takes outright

There are two wolves inside you.

One is aroace and doesn't want any romance/relationships in your story to focus purely on the underrepresented intimacy of close friendships

The other is a dedicated multishipper and wants your entire cast of OCs to be in a big polycule

They are both gay

[gender-incinerator]

I fear many of us are forgetting that trans men belong to Men (the gender) but not Men (the sociopolitical class) and I think thats an important distinction

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

you have just put into words my frustration with so many people wo just Do Not understand feminism

[elasticveins]

If I see one more person do this I’m actually gonna tweak out. That cis guy character can be a trans man. That cis woman character can be a trans man. Headcannoning a cis character as trans is not killing anyone’s representation and that is pretty obvious.

[the-cryptid-fox-who-eats-rocks]

Can I gently hit people with this every time someone complains about the transmasc Hunter headcannon?

We Know it makes little sense, just ffs let us have this, he just has the vibes
