 the latest tumblr shenanigans reminded me to have a backup plan in case this site goes down for good one of these days, so: you can find me at the same url on dreamwidth, and if tumblr disappears I’ll post any new social media there

happy pride everyone but especially gay people transgenders and the kris's and susie's out there with "whatever we are"s

It's been a long day.

Celebrating that one year ago we got Chapter 3 and 4 with that ending that killed me with finally posting those two pages together

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

[creacher-art]

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

prev tags! it's a imperialism problem yes but it is also a casteist and classist problem

[crythartic]

End of deltarune chapter 4… Susie and Kris at the lake… my heart…

i cannot possibly overstate the psychological damage of growing up being abused in a way that is considered so disgusting as to be literally unspeakable and treated as such.

[yaoist]

every single person on this website and everywhere else needs to take a long fucking look at how they talk about and think about csa and how it might fucking feel to have things that literally happened to you be considered so taboo that frank depictions are declared obscene or so disgusting so as to be talked about only in whispered tones

[yaoist]

CAN YOU EVEN BEGIN TO CONCEPTUALIZE THE MULTIPLICATION OF TRAUMA THAT COMES FROM YOUR ABUSE BEING TREATED LIKE RADIOACTIVE WASTE THAT MUST BE BURIED LEST IT CONTAMINATE OTHERS BY ITS VERY ACKNOWLEDGEMENT DESCRIPTION OR EXISTENCE

[roach-works]

i had friends on here that used to be very frank and open about their status as CSA survivors. because they insisted on talking about the subject frankly and with depth and nuance they were called pedophile apologists, which was quickly shortened just to pedos, and constantly harassed. one teenager specifically sent someone she knew to be a csa survivor links to triggering materials in an attempt to get them to reconsider being friends with me because i was also considered a pedo.

the way online spaces decided to Protect The Children from pedophilia has done no such thing, just like we warned you it wouldn't. instead it gave bullies and bigots a perfect label to slap onto any victim they wanted, at the direct expense of csa survivors everywhere. it's also been horrible for queer artists of all sorts. we have been saying this over and over for a decade at least.

im so fucking ANGRY

[honorarycassowary]

#i saw a really enlightening lecture about this#she asked questions like#are survivors allowed to make autobiographical works?#is it better or worse if survivors fictionalise their experiences?#why are they allowed to use some media but not others?#is it the responsibility of a creator or an audience to identify with the abuser or the abused in media?#does the absence of survivor media further isolate children who never get their own stories told?#who can't articulate what they experience or see survival in their future?

I really recommend the Táin Bó Cúailnge to anyone looking to get into medieval literature because it's a great story, brilliant poetry (I read the Carson translation, and the way he translates the roscada sections are beautiful) and the backbone of the Ulster Cycle, but it's also just really fucking funny. It has a very slapstick yet dry sense of humor that provides just enough comic relief to make the dramatic moments of the story even more impactful. Genuinely I laugh out loud every few pages. Go read it.

Stories of Elf World

[venndaai]

I’ll be honest the one part of book!Gabrielle I’m most disappointed to lose isn’t even the gender it’s the colonialism. This show is proven it’s interested in and capable of exploring race, there’s so much it could have done to deconstruct book Gabi’s ecofascism and orientalism. I’ll also be disappointed if they don’t explore the rot at the core of TVL ie the setup of Marius vs Akasha as Enlightened Western white masculinity vs powerful savage divine feminine Akasha.

Like I think the stuff they are exploring in TVL right now, about cycles of abuse and trauma and regression and denial, is all really good, and it makes sense to me that they’re focusing on that over the more philosophical, less easily adaptable The Savage Garden vs The Void stuff from the book. But since they tackled the racism in IWTV fairly head on, I really hope they do the same for TVL before the end.
