the story fairy circle

likes the weird stuff, writes games, haunts the woods

[wildjayblue]

i guess if i want to promote my stuff i should talk about it, huh? hi, i'm zay, a queer trans writer and indie rpg designer. i write small, weird, quiet games that are sometimes silly but usually sad. i also talk about my interests, including libraries and indie rpgs.

i started releasing my games earlier this year and have four available. they include a silly thing about supernatural roommates, and a fantasy game about saying goodbye to people you love. my focus is on theme and atmosphere more than crunchy mechanics or heavy dice rolling. you can check them out at wildjayblue.itch.io, and even give me money, if you want to.

i'm also going to use this space to post some of my bad poetry and other thoughts here, because cringe is a fake idea made up to stop people from enjoying things. this serves as your only warning.

kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3

[infectiouspiss]

you'll say something as simple as "no child deserves to be hit" and people will crawl out of the woodwork to explain why they should be allowed to beat a 6 year old for spilling some water

[infectiouspiss]

you'll say "i think it's weird that adults literally have control over when children are allowed to use the bathroom" and up pops a teacher to say that when they're not shouting at the kids they teach, they're trying to stop them from hiding in the bathrooms

you'll say "i think children shouldn't be forced to eat food they hate" and here comes someone who feeds their kids plain rice and boiled chicken (while eating a nicely seasoned stirfry) claiming that it's okay actually and kids shouldn't be allowed to taste things

you'll say "i think kids should have bodily autonomy" and in comes someone who pierced their babies ears before it was even 24 hours old, frothing at the mouth because their kid wanted a haircut and thats somehow an insult

[infectiouspiss]

children are an oppressed class and everyone should be looking back at their own childhoods and making sure they don't ever make a child feel the same way they felt.

[not-brins]

while not as harsh as the examples above, children's opinions as well are sooo highly disregarded in society as a whole.

as a child, if you have an idea that you want to pitch to an adult about absolutely anything, you'll be told off by someone saying, "oh you're just a kid, what would you know about this." or some bullshit like that.

and this is so contradictory because everyone says that children are so creative and have such great imagination. why not use that imagination somewhere? when it has the potential to solve an actual problem, why not consider their ideas?

if something irrelevant or fictional does come up, who's forcing you to make it real? but that doesn't mean you'll just say 'no' straight out.

Transcript:

“Maybe I like looking trans "oh your voice is too deep" Maybe I like having a deep voice. Maybe I'm not your femme fantasy. Maybe I'm my own fantasy. I love looking trans. I fucking hope that when I walk down the street, they say, "look at that transsexual!" And just maybe someone will see me and think, "hey, I can live that way, too."”

As much debate as there is about tone tags, 90% of the issues would be solved by just typing the word. Like instead of typing /gen or /hj you can just write (genuine) or (handjob) and you'll be doing pretty much the exact same thing.

[time-traveling-fetus]

Of course I personally think it's less awkward to use some rudimentary language skills to form actual sentences and phrases. They don't even have to be complicated. Like "Genuine question, why are you doing that?" Or "I'm being serious. Stop that." Or "I'm going to jerk you off now."

[fortunechaos]

I whole wholeheartedly agree with you on this matter OP. I do feel like it's often forgotten in this discourse that tonetags originated on Twitter where they had to get around a constrictive character count for tweets. I think how we got here makes a lot more sense when you consider the process otherwise of trying to fit an entire handjob in 280 characters.

Nothing more painful than when a kind stranger tells you about some random AI feature in a way that is clearly meant to be helpful and you have to choose between nodding along in despair or turning wokezilla 3000 on them

maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient

[boycritter]

maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just don’t think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.

If they advanced too much further technologically, those advances would inevitably intrude on their humanity. People wanted to walk. They wanted to take the bus that smells like cigarettes. They wanted those precious three minutes between asking a question and knowing the answer. [...] They found that they needed things to be just a little bit difficult once in a while. They needed to stub their toe and wait in line and see that Check Engine light. They decided to leave their existence just a little short of perfect, because they wanted to want.

STEN • THE CHARIOT

two forces pulling in opposite direction • I had the pleasure of painting Sten with the tarot card The Chariot as inspiration for 2026's @dragonageannual ARCANA!
