making his evil potions and shit

little update re: life and such first thing, ive started working again as my seasonal job is back in season so thats been good. its part time so i still have plenty of time to make art however! that also means my income is pretty low

second thing, my partner and i are trying to move overseas and we pooled our savings together in order to apply for a visa and so im. very low on money rn despite becoming employed again.

unsurprisingly im saying this to ask, if anyone is able to support my patreon that would be greatly appreciated. you can read ahead up to 20 pages at the highest tier. ty

*through gritted teeth* the world is GOOD. people are kind. Humans are NOT inherently selfish. you will make it through this year. recovery is possible. people you don't know yet will love you. You are going to do things you can't even imagine right now. You are going to read a rlly good book. You are going to eat some rlly good food. You are going to experience joy again. Things can get better. Situations can change. You can choose to be kinder. The world can change for the better.

lets all give it up for tenna with chronic conditions + internalized ableism folks !!!!!!!!!

@rubsjuice pulling you tags bc i like them GRINS

i also love doing specbio shit with darkners in general bc i think a large part of their innards are literally just vague Darkness and things like organs. well. appear when theyre needed and relevant. but i also like mechanical darkners being a bit more complicated. theres a lot more stuff going on in there compared to something like a game piece to keep things running

anyways all this to say YUPPPPP i love difficult patient tenna stuff so much bc it just feels so fitting for him given everything we know + what he's been through. he's a fascinating specimen especially bc of being a CRT he's literally basically like. an endangered species of some variety. he's treated like something to deal with, something to handle, like some kind of zoo animal taken to the vet. like something to observe, to watch, to pick apart

this is once again his #objectification. no harm may have been meant but it doesn't mean he wasn't still objectified during it. turned into something to poke and prod at and figure out what's going on. and he Does need the help! he Does need to Physically get fixed when he falls apart to keep him together. but he still is considered less than a person and often times even necessary pain and observation can still cause harm and lasting effects on a person. he's always watched and never seen

[rubsjuice]

He's always watched and never seen!!!

I like playing with darkner biology worldbuilding from the perspective that there are Species of darkners (like ambyu-lances, addisons, pippins, ruddins, cuptains, etc) who have perfectly standarized biology for their species and then theres Special darkners who are one-of-a-kind whose biology is pretty much fantastical (Jevil doesn't need to eat, both him and Seam are immortal, Rouxls has no organs at all, etc). And Tenna's one-of-a-kind Cabinet Man makeup leaves him in the middle of the way where he doesn't have enough fantastical characteristics to not have to worry about anything health-related and not enough biological characteristics for specialists to know exactly what his body is doing.

Naturally, being sick or injured is a nightmare for Tenna! It's not just objectification (though there is a lot of it too) but it's also otherization, because he's not enough of any characteristic to belong to any "kind" of darkner. It's a very isolating experience in a situation that is very worrying! And in a check-up visit a doctor could just be looking at his numbers and go "well this isn't normal. But is it normal to you?" and he'll have to sigh and go "I don't know" and that's gonna be the end of the conversation. And then maybe the doctors start babbling about making estimates and doing tests and saying medical jargon he can barely keep up with and inviting other doctors from other rooms to take a look and discuss findings and all he wanted was just an answer to this new pain he's been feeling.

And this would certainly bleed into mental health professionals too. I think even in an environment where he has a kind and strong support system he'd be uneasy about seeking help from any professional regarding his mental health issues because he has no idea if the psychotherapist will just be the same as the other doctors and want to study his psyche instead of helping him figure out his traumas and feelings. Like no wonder the only guy he will be vulnerable in this way is the obsessive producer/personal assistant that he pays to do everything for him (love battat to death but lets be real i dont think this guy is a licensed therapist) and whose only goal in life is to make Tenna happy in the short term.

I just. AUGH! So many thoughts about the television. I'm glad you liked the tags it's been an idea i've been cooking up for a while

mid-way pride month check-in

[gaypornvideoswebsite]

just saw someone comment under a videoclip of the sylvia rivera interview where she insists on the modern (circa 2001) pride movement being a capitalist smokescreen, a “straight gay” movement that worships the almighty dollar, that:

and this person is likely quite young but this really really really captures the limited imagination of capitalist neoliberal indoctrination around freedom and liberation. radical queerness treated as a paintjob over a prison as opposed to the bulldozer that tears the prison down. we have to dream for so much more and endure the pain of dreaming.

[dominacetrix]

Saw someone on Reddit asking what the requirements are for going to the library. Not to get a card and check stuff out. Just to hang out there. I don't mean to make fun of the poster for not knowing. I blame capitalism and the reduction of third spaces for making the idea of being able to just exist in a free public space seem like a strange concept to people. Anyway. This inspired a meme.

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

It's important to have at least two blorbos that fit into specific roles in your life

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and ask yourself what they would do in a situation, and draw motivation from them on how to be better and stronger!

The blorbo you can look to in hard times, and remind yourself that no matter what happens, you probably aren't going to fuck your shit up as much as they did even if you actively tried
