OC/RP side blog is @mutant-werewolf, if I follow you and you’re an X-men/mcu rp blog that’s probably why.
Userbox blog is @noname-userboxes, (none of the userboxes on frog-wizard-fe are made by me)

None! If you make me uncomfortable, I’ll block you. (Also if I block you it’s no fault of your own, and I’m not doing it because I think you’re a bad person).
However, I’m pro-endo and a transandrobro. Feel free to block us if you disagree, hate will just be deleted.
More info and userboxes under the cut!
We’re a system (origin unknown, we don’t care enough to find out).
Felix will probably be the only one posting, but there’s intros under this section for others just in case they want to use the blog!
I’m also transmasc, aro, maybe ace, and an m-spec lesbian! But that’s confusing so I typically will just say queer.
Also I’m a canine therian! Unsure what kind.

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.
hey i may be talking about this several years early but. we all know deltarune most likely isn’t going to have a perfect ending right. right guys. right. we all know that there’s only one ending. and that tbat ending most likely isn’t going to be perfect. we all know that dess is most likely going to be dead by the end if she isn’t already, knight or not. Dess is likely dead before the story even begins and three characters have death flags in the normal route and all five of the main characters have death flags in the weird route. kris and noelle literally attempt suicide in chapter five weird route. berdly is in a coma in the same route. we all recognize that the ending very likely isn’t going to be perfect right and we’re not going to jump on toby fox in 2-4 years when we finish the game. right. right guys. we’re not going to get upset when it’s revealed there is no saving dess and there is not miracle that can bring her back. we’re going to be mature grown-up adults about whatever happens right. right. hello is this thing on
You want safe schools? Ban teachers from restricting bathroom access, using collective punishment, yelling at students, confisticating books, or banning items that are not actually harmful, grant any student with prescribed medicine the legally enforceable right to keep their medicine on their own person at all times during school hours(principals or school officials are not allowed to keep it locked up in their offices for "safe keeping"), abolish zero tolerance policies, make it easier to walk or cycle to school. All of that, or even any one of those things, would do so much more to actually protect students than phone bans.
the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.
look i WISH more horror movies were just the directors thinly disguised fetish. instead we got all these horror movies that are just undisguised reflections of culturally hegemonic values and anxieties. like if we got some weird fetishes up in here it would probably add some variety thats all im saying.

Because under the post about giving minors the right to medically consent, people are spreading a ton of misinformation on this - largely because they just do not question the stuff they just assume are "normal". Which here is: "kids are all afraid of needles and therefore if we let them consent or not to medical proceedures, they would just not consent and not get vaccinations, because needles hurt".
And, look. Here is the thing: no, needles do not actually hurt a whole lot. And while, yes, certain procedures that involve being stabbed by a needle hurt more if you are younger for a bunch of reasons... that is actually not the main reason children fear needles. Because, again: the pain is not that bad. And most kids, especially young kids, whose motor skills are still developing, usually will have a bunch more hurting scratches, bruises and the like at any given moment than there will be pain from the needle.
No, from what research can tell, the main reason kids are afraid of needles, is more that for many of them needle procedures are very traumatizing. And that is largely because of the consent issue.
Imagine you are a person who is still pretty darn new to that whole human thing. So for one, yes, your brain is actually not that great in understanding what pain is dangerous and what pain is a safe limit of pain. So yes, someone intentionally hurting you (like with a needle) is really kinda scary. But then there is also the thing where this person hurting you is not telling you why they are doing. The people who you normally trust with keeping you safe (your family) is betraying you, by just holding you down and scolding you for crying over it. Or maybe it is not your family, but some strange nurse who is holding you. And while you are scared, because someone is intentionally hurting you, while someone else is restricting you, the adults around you are telling you, that your emotional reaction to this is actually bad and you are wrong for reacting that way. They might in fact lie to you and tell you that something that is insanely scary to you is "not that bad", instead of just understanding that it is super scary to you. And that is then what you start to expect whenever you see a doctor prepare a needle: people holding you down, hurting you without reason, and telling you that you are wrong for being upset, actively gaslighting you.
We have research on this. And this research is pretty clear: most kids are actually somewhat okay with needles, if you inform them why you are doing it, allow for them to have their emotions, talk to them about their emotions, and allow for them to set at least some conditions.
And frankly, I hate how many people just accept the framing of "kids are naturally afraid of this because it hurts". Like, folks, I know y'all are fucking Americans and that in your culture it is kinda normalized to like put kids into like some sort of fortified hamsterball to stop them from like doing typical kids stuff. But... let me tell you: if you do not do that, kids will actually very regularly engage in dangerous play that they know will often end up in injuries that are going to hurt. And, no, they are not to dumb to understand that. The kids know that this is what might happen because of their play. They actually just take the risk. Yes, they will cry if they get hurt, because - again - their nervous system is still calibrating how it relates to pain. But they will likely do that thing again and again. I can tell you: I fell down a tree so often during my childhood, and I still climbed it. Again and again. So did most kids I knew. Like, fuck, we lived next to a forest. We played "Tarzan", and tried to go along paths without touching the ground. And we fell. A lot. And we still did it.
It is not the fear of pain that makes kids afraid of doctors. It is the fear of the associated force, and gaslighting.
The thing is, if you don't explain it, how are kids meant to give informed consent? That's why a woman named Mary Jenner created The Butterfly Pig, which sells medical play toys to families with medically sensitive kids and children's hospitals, so kids can play about the stuff that's going to happen or watch their caregivers show them. For this reason in particular, there's a syringe toy to simulate injections, and it includes a Buzzy toy, which imitates a real Buzzy that vibrates and is cold so injections don't hurt as much, and the real Buzzy is used in over 5,000 hospitals and clinics globally.

— the profession is fully dedicated to supporting kids and families in the health care setting, and a significant portion of that is educating kids (in a way they can understand, developmentally) and making plans With them to make the experience easier!
And there is SO MUCH research out there! If you explain to kids what’s going on, they need less anesthesia, get better quicker, and have less medical trauma— which leads to a willingness to accept preventative care in the future!
Child Life has been leading the charge in this area for decades, and it’s so awesome to see it becoming more mainstream knowledge!
I used to work as a pharmacy technician. During that time because of everything going on in general, we were trained to give vaccinations. I had previously been studying to be a teacher, so when it came to giving pediatric vaccines, I used classroom management techniques.
I had one parent say that they would hold their kid down for me, I told her "I'll ask you if necessary, but let me try my way first."
My technique was simple. I'd address the child, not the parent, to get all the information I needed. There were three chairs side-by-side, I'd tell the child to sit in the chair they wanted, but warned them that I had to sit next to them to give them the shot, so whichever seat they sat in, make sure the arm they wanted to get the shot in was facing that side. If they wanted their parent to hold their hand that was fine, the parent could sit next to them if they were in the middle.
At that point they are immediately faced with the choices of whether or not they want their hand held, and which arm they wanted to get the shot in. Most kids sat in the middle, but if a kid sat on either of the ends, you could tell that they were probably not going to have any problems.
I'd ask them a few questions, answer their questions as I sat next to them. If they expressed a fear of needles I'd affirm that lots of people are afraid of needles and tell them about my own fear. Which was so bad that when I was in high school and needed 4 cavities filled I refused novacaine and made my dentist perform the fillings without anasthetic because I wasn't afraid it would hurt, I was afraid of the needle. Shout-out to the kid who stared off into the distance after this before turning to me and saying "I think I'm afraid it's going to hurt."
If they expressed fear that it would hurt, I'd agree that that's a normal fear, and while I couldn't promise it wouldn't hurt I could promise I would do everything to make it hurt as little as possible. But I would need their help to do that. Instantly that reframes their experience. Now they aren't being FORCED to get a shot, they are helping an adult.
I would explain why they needed to do what I was asking to help keep it from hurting, ask them a few small-talk questions, and give the vaccine while they were answering.
I won't claim that kids never screamed or cried for me, but they were far fewer than my other coworkers, and they were never the ear-piercing shrieks that rattled windows.
like its not that serious etc but any time u express frustration or just point out wow people in fandom continuously prioritize men over women Here comes the fucking misogyny hydra
"maybe you should stop complaining and just make the content you want to see" perhaps, the issue at hand, is that the proportion of people who are willing to be invested in female characters and create content centering them is already small compared to the people who will create novel-length backstories for male characters with 5 minutes of screentime, meaning that even if all people involved put in the same amount of effort, the amount of content around men will always be orders of magnitude larger, and perhaps the disproportionate focus on men in the first place may be indicative of some kind of pre-existing bias, one that may, hypothetically speaking, have some name already,
