#Among the Wild Things

[tearlessrain]

I'm also not a fan of the two arguments being "furries are weird and bad sex freaks" and "furries are just regular people they're cool"

a lot of furries are weird as all hell, genuinely weird not the cute quirky tiktok kind of weird. and sometimes it is a sex thing. that doesn't make them bad people or acceptable punching bags.

idk I just have this feeling that a lot of people are gonna jump on this furry hype train and then meet a weird furry and revert right back to the 2010s bullying.

#a lot of the more popular fetishes among furries happen to be major squicks for me #you'll notice I rarely bring this up and am not traumatized #(well not by that. it's been a wild three years) #that is because I've mastered the art of minding my own business and not looking at things I know will gross me out

I think we as a fandom don't talk about this enough

#to be fair I forgot too #but it came up in a youtube video I was watching to get reference for something I was working on #also kinda reminds me of that play the koroks did in Honor Among Thieves #and another thing I found in the youtube hole is how to get the Master Sword without getting the Master Sword #legend of zelda #loz #breath of the wild #botw #koroks #does this count as the Master Sword? #I'll tag it anyway #Master Sword

Having an hour long conversation with my brother about the Mormon fantasy books we read as kids and now I have to reread all 13 books and make a video essay about them so I can explain how absolutely wild they are

#half joking about the video essay thing i dont know how to do that #but no one knows about Tennis Shoes Among The Nephites and those books were my childhood #absolutely wild #exmormon #exmo #exlds

My crowfriends came so close today <3 I love watching their trust in me develop

#I think what makes crows really interesting is that they're not domesticated. Domesticated animals are evolved to be able to truste you #and wild aninmals usually are a lot more wary #but crows got all the traits of a species that lived AMONG humans for centuries and sees humans produce some of their main food sources #and this paired with their brains results in an uncanny ability to conceptualise humans as individuals #obviously you're still huge and loud and scary and make too sudden movements to them sometimes #but just like they recognise faces they're also quick to learn 'oh this SCaRy tHiNG that HUMAN does didn't hurt me' and then they come back #and compared to other species they pick up on this stuff really quickly #and that's how you get a wild bird flying about town to suddenly go 'hey I'll check up on what That Human is doing n peek into their window

doooo not love that conspiracy brain too online bullshit is just lowkey de rigueur in a lot of fandom spaces now, not sure what to do about it but i know i hate it

#it’s the most q-anon lite bullshit and like. i was once an english major and i love a wild theorizing session #but if your whole theory is like “unlike you sheeple i can tell the writers are stupid liars who you can never trust” (among other issues) #like. i gotta get off that train. #also… as a writer this mindset is so weird. #like. people ask insanely spoilery questions and then writers have to find a way to answer that isn’t a spoiler or a tip-off #and then people go SEE! THEY LIED! later on when the thing actually happens and they didn’t spoil it #set down the q-anon juice friends

the amount of time I spend on tumblr dot com has given me quite the set of standards when it comes to artworks on the theme of 'Trans Angel', and actual museums are failing to meet those standards quite spectacularly.

#news from the cupola #if you don't want to hear a lot of inane whining stop reading this post Here. #today once again I saw this particular sculpture entitled exactly that. it is the most unpleasant thing I have ever beheld. #it is relevant that it is a sculpture about the transamerica pyramid and not about Transgender things. but I do keep forgetting that. #so many errors were made in the construction of this fucking thing. I have seen it maybe thrice at this point and it has not grown on me #in the slightest. and I know that the conversation about Good Art and what makes Good Art is certainly fraught. #but by my lights whatever this is this isn't good art #maybe it's partially that this thing is displayed among some really wild examples of Just What Can Be Done With Clay #it's surrounded by hundreds of years' worth of technical mastery and it fails to be anything of note except bad to see! #clunky sculpting! ugly glazing! forms that are difficult to parse but also not very interesting once you do see them! #and why in the goddamn does it have the twitter logo sculpted all over it. what is Happening. #everything else by this artist in this exhibit is also not great in similar ways? #it's not even bad in a way that's interesting! it's just. not good! #it all feels like they're trying far too hard to make Art That Means Something and missing by a mile #also. no one calls the transamerica pyramid that. You Say The Whole Name. or you just point at it and say 'that one'

You know. Perhaps I have reached the goal of my gender envy admiration of Hinata Hajime, by being Just Some Guy

#spitblaze says things #im like 80% sure thats what i wanted about his gender #hes not getting fancy for anyone. hes unapologetically himself and snarky #and despite being mostly unremarkable hes STILL well liked and considered a good friend by everyone around him! #he did not fade into the background for not being interesting or detailed enough #he was his own person among a cast of absolutely wild characters and is still widely recognizable in both appearance and personality #i love you hajime hinata. wish you were in a better franchise #dr #danganronpa #been a hot minute since i used THAT tag lmao

[eeriehowl]

i know it’s a big part of mammon to be mysterious but i really would love to know their age. there’s a lot more i want to know, too, but they sure wouldn’t divulge anything.

#khr 0 #gender obviously isn’t among these #mammon is cryptic gender #also xanxus’ age is wild #we do accept he is 24 since amano has pretty much made him that age and consistently says so #but we really are led to believe that someone can grow in cryostasis #that is somehow canon in this bizarre universe #(anything is possible in khr though) #i was already wondering about this as a kid #i can’t call bullshit on a thing like this though when we are in the same anime that has a 10 year bazooka #that a character uses for comic relief when they’re upset #amano decided that works in some bizarre fashion so it works #characters can become older and grow in ice & a character can somehow be convinced that they are playing a mafia game #even when shit blows up around them and people almost get killed #xanxus did legit grow physically there’s no doubt about that #but mentally??? by this manga’s logic….not even the most insane thing #there’s a baby that defies death. he’s immortal…. #though idk how that’s special when characters can blow up through a GIGANTIC explosion and come out mildly bruised…. #so the defying death baby doesn’t seem special despite the emphasis #i mean a character even survives having his heart ripped out #by having it replaced with an illusion

[goodobservationshirley]

Why do you care how I spend my time?

#the wilds #thewildsedit #among other things #like i know what she's implying here is CONCERN #but god if there isn't so much f**king love in this concern #also: fatin continues to reach out physically to leah #like if her words aren't good enough to anchor her in this reality #then she's just gonna grab her and hold on any chance she gets

[akagamiko]

Something 'bout watching a bunch of Shakespeare really gets me in a good writing/creative mood and while I'm sure that's part of experiencing the writing live I also think it nudges Shanks because I simply think he would enjoy plays/theatre so much.

#i do especially think he'd like ol' billy s simply bc he would get all of the dirty jokes #but also bc shanks lacks strong reading abilities but he can keep up with conversations easily #and enjoys being read to #have always imagined him as having a bit of a poet's soul #so to speak #and be can (and will) go on and on about people (among other things) in a very meaningful way #he is not a good reader but he's managed to be well spoken #when he feels like it anyway #i need to write out my shanks + poetry music hcs bc i've had them for so long and thrn they really gave him a musician daughter #like uta got a lot of that from him #but anyway the point is i think shanks would enjoy plays no matter the verse #and given how wild the op world is i think the plays would be both really really good #and wildly bad ala the play within a play in midsummer #and regardless shanks would enjoy them SO much #this happened last year on my shakeapeare vacation so it's apparently #this is mobile so hopefully not too ugly

There is nothing better than to be wakened by drums and music galore on the same street I live. At least I got enough sleep :| On another note, going through fanarts of Dain again made me think about how he might've been somehow popular even among his knights in a comical way because... yes, he's a handsome man and there is no denying that.

#◟༺✦༻◞ what lays behind the mantle of faux stars ┊ooc.┊ #being on the topic of Khaenri'ah #and now that I'm in a thread of just that #makes me want to share my headcanons about it #one of which being the difference of classes #even among pure-blooded Khaenri'ahns #Chlothar himself as part of the Alberich clan #described himself as being so little in society #that he wouldn't expect Lumine to even know him at all #that's wild to me in a way #but on another part I don't want to be deemed as ugly things #some people... like to throw around lightly #because it is a reality that in Khaenri'ah #there is a difference in classes depending on the purity #of their blood #and those who come from afar to live in Khaenri'ah #I'll meditate whether to approach that subject while eating some paella

#> cut person out of my life for a multitude of reasons #one of the chief among them being they OBSESSIVELY copied me #literally everything i did. my mannerisms my phrasing my way of existing #if i was in a mood or a certain state of health they would COPY THAT TOO #if i was venting they would suddenly be venting too #literally could not just let me exst #obsessed with me and intent on stealing every single thing about me #to the point that other people noticed and got uncomfortable and approached me like hey are you okay with this cause im #upset on your behalf #anyways. havent talked to them in like a year. life significantly better #(save for the part where they lied to a bunch of my friends and those friends all ditched/hardblocked me without a word) #i find out. through the most INSANE means imaginable #(posting shit on ao3 and coming across them in the wild) #that they are STILL TO THIS DAY #COPYING THINGS I DID WHEN WE WERE FRIENDS #every day i thank the fucking lord i pulled the plug on this shit #i was so fucking miserable back when they were in close proximity

We don't often make up-front posts about our system or the people in it, but we have a sudden desire to say this into the Tumblr void and no good arguments against doing so.

Having your speaking and/or thinking accent suddenly shift at a random moment for no apparent reason is a hell of a specific experience, isn't it? Suddenly, your mouth just wants to take a different shape and your words comes out in a different way and it's not even necessarily an accent you're regularly exposed to or have a reason to mirror or want to practice. It's just there, all of the sudden, and you ride it out until you either feel it fade or have to mask it around others. It's. A hell of a thing, is all we can think to say.

We're always co-con to some degree, too, so we'll feel the ebb and flow of it as the accent-holder is closer to and further from our shared consciousness. It'll warp our accent into something between our usual/default one and whatever the accent-holder has.

Maybe we've posted about this before and forgotten, but it's weird and fascinating to us every time. Speaking patterns changing is already both those things, but whole accent shifts are... another level.

Being plural is wild, truly. We'll probably never stop being surprised, even by aspects/experiences of it we've known a thousand times over.

#sonders speak #sonder speaks #plurality #the mundane wonder of mundane things #well #mostly mundane #contextually mundane #less so to certain categories of singlets probably #this post has been brought to you by Riley's pseudo-Scottish accent #and was joined near the end by Adam's stoic speech style #as we got progressively more nervous about publicly posting plural things and required his emotionally regulatory intervention #that last tag was also him #dissociative identity disorder #or maybe osdd #endo safe #this is about the experience of plurality itself after all #this is about solidarity among plurals who have this experience #and the “wow that does sound wild you've got irl bonus features” from singlets #... we're gonna think of them as irl bonus features next time we're frustrated with JB #he annoys us by playing songs too loudly in our head #which is rough when we already have a song in our head #and his is also playing over it #maybe thinking of it as irl bonus feature background music could help #and the annoyance with having to mask accent shifts too #which was the actual point of the post that got away from us #in our defense we're tired and it hasn't been that long since we took our night meds #sorry for the personal post all the same

[ephemeral-winter]

probably not a great sign that i got off a call where i was offered a job and immediately went to look at the job boards again but while i was there i learned that they are hiring someone to archive the papers of the late sen. dianne feinstein which would be so funny tbh

#among other things the feinstein position is based at stanford and a) that's where my ex is now and b) i hate the west coast #i did successfully negotiate up the initial salary offer but idk guys. idk #boss sounds horrible but the guy who'd be my actual manager claims he will shield me from all that #and i'd get to move back home. nevertheless i do not want to move in the next six weeks i really don't #rare pic of me in the wild
