i tried splatfest yesterday, and i’m doing pretty okay only with the octobrush (tho i think personality wise, the sniper might fit slza more)

#splatoon #splatoon oc #i don't really have to aim to eliminate my opponent with the brush #i can just slap them out of it #octoling #octoling oc #fanart #slza might prefer weapon which enables her to attack from a far #just a cliche trait; bad at direct confrontation; but precise when doing it from a far #when u r pondering whether to finally buy splatoon when u're not much of a competitive player #how do u pick between the 2 special attacks #howww #splatoon 3 #team rock wins! tho i didn't contribute much with around 10 wins 11 loses #my thumb died believe me #octoball #oko #octarians #slza

Me, a physically disabled (high support needs) neurodivergent (mid to high support needs) person: Hey, my neurodivergence IS extremely disabling in a way that a lot of you say "isn't possible" and also my physical and neurological disabilities often combine in ways that can't be separated and produce symptoms that are new or of added severity for me.

Responses I've gotten from disabled exclusionists (some of whom are also both physically disabled and neurodivergent):

"What drugs are you on, you delusional freak?"

"I've never experienced this and therefore you're a dirty lying physically abled neurodivergent person who just wants to be more disabled and oppressed than you are. My experiences are universal and anyone who has different experiences is a lying liar. No one can ever prove otherwise because my axiom is that anyone who claims otherwise is lying."

"The ableds are at it again."

"Sit down and let the REAL disabled people talk."

"You're never allowed to find similarities between disabilities that are of different types, even ones you have, and if you do you're actually the reason why accessibility is such an issue because conflating them is why ableist doctors don't give us what we need and why society thinks medical gatekeeping is good, actually."

"If you're that suicidal do us all a favor and kill yourself."

This is without even getting into stuff about how disabled labels often apply differently to systems. The big discourse now is "nonverbal" labels for headmates who are permanently, always nonverbal, primarily by people and systems who refuse to view systems as anything but "parts" of a single person. Which is funny to me because ah yes, we have actual studies showing physical disabilities such as allergies can apply only to individual headmates, but gods forbid you apply a neurological label to someone whose brain activity is not only visibly different on scans from yours, but to the extent that it changes your entire shared physical body!

Like here's a novel idea: maybe we could just stop policing how other disabled people talk about their disabilities forever! Maybe we could blame any and all harm done even from the unicorn-rarity "actual fakers/liars" (also don't think I don't see you being ableist against people with actual diagnosed that cause compulsive lying) on the ableists DOING the harm because it's actually perfectly possible for them not to cherrypick our words and listen to the MAJORITY of us!

Maybe, just maybe, we could form a coalition, focus on the REAL enemy (ableist medical professionals and lawmakers) and push for actual change for ALL of us!

#also. I have been called ableist for reclaiming the r slur in a 'so what if I AM unintelligent or otherwise socially/emotionally incapable #specifically BECAUSE it was used against me for YEARS to the point of severe trauma #specifically FOR being a socially inept 'gifted kid' #and yet I've been told telling the truth about my own experiences is 'speaking over people with intellectualdisabilities' #and that I didn't actually experience that and they were actually not insulting me becaude they were only insulting intelligence #and it's like 'a bullet with your name on it aimed at me that hits me isn't making YOU bleed' #the target of a bigoted attack is the person that gets hit by it regardless of if the bigot is wrong about their identity #because get this bigots don't actually stop and apologize if they find out they're 'wrong' about you #because the reason they're attacking you is to enforce normalcy on you and they've sensed you are abnormal #it's like hey maybe actually slur reclamation discourse is bullshit and the basis for reclamation should be 'have you been called this' #and 'listen to people with different disabilities' should never mean 'other people know your own experiences better than you' #because that's precisely the problem causing so much ableism towards neurodivergent people from physically disabled people! #'I'm more disabled and oppressed than you on the disabled hierarchy' #'and therefore I get to define your own experiences and the meaning behind them' #No! That's a fucking problem! And super ableist no matter WHAT your disabilities #'listen to other disabled people' goes both ways #you might actually have to examine your own biases and readjust your viewpoint #because newsflash the ableism you think is unique to YOUR disability? ISN'T. #boo fucking hoo you have to acknowledge other people have been hurt by the same things you have #hyper individualism is a plague. you are not special. we're all fucked under abled hegemony #and yes abled people listen to some of us more - lower support needs and intellectually nondisabled people most #but you cannot just assume based on ONE label or lack of that someone is in the 'listened to' category #ableds don't listen to me regardless of eloquence or w/e because I'm massively crippled and mad and have cognitive disabilities #like if you think I have privilege over you bc I'm 'smart' or w/e. abled people take one look at me being a crippled schizo #and write me off as completely crazy! NO ONE listens to mad people. we are in THE SAME BOAT #anyway this rant is not even at anyone or any particular group because I've noticed it coming from EVERYWHERE in the community #these are just some examples #discourse #tw suibaiting mention #tw delusional as insult mention

"In reality Richard III invented a Woodville scare as a screen for his own conspiracy"

-A.J Pollard, "Richard III and the Princes in the Tower"

#lmao #r*chard iii #my post #I think that's true for all usurpations and coups to an extent #but its 10x more applicable and accurate for Richard III #Not only because of the compressed length of time (a mere 3 months as opposed to years of back-and-forth tensions) #but also because ultimately one of the key reasons Richard could do what he did was because he did it from the heart of the political #institution (ie he was an internal threat rather than an external one) #and he was someone who was trusted and loved rather than mistrusted and hated. His betrayal was political but it also had far more personal #ramifications for everyone involved - most people simply did not expect it from him and cooperated with him precisely because of that #which enabled him to seize power before most people even realized what he was doing #And there's the fact that he actually did stage a conspiracy by accusing the Woodvilles of plotting to attack and ambush him #and produced weapons from his own war in Scotland as fake 'proof' - when in fact we know that HE deceived and ambushed THEM #there's also the (propagandic) lie that they usurped him from the position as Lord Protector when they certainly didn't #either Edward IV didn't appoint Richard Lord Protector meaning the Woodvilles denied him nothing #OR the council collectively chose to have a council rule during Edward V's minority rather than a Protector (something they were entirely #within their rights to do both socially and legally) #so claims that they wrongly defied Edward IV's last wishes or broke the law (which Mancini repeats in his account) must be seen as exactly #that - propagandic lies to vilify EW and her family #when in fact Richard was the one plotting a seizure of power - whether it was as Lord Protector or as King #(of course these are just two things - there's a whole laundry list of others) #so this is definitely applicable to him

Went for a demon form of Yukio (because despite the problems I have with the final episodes of the first season of the anime, I do love his little demon design) and somehow, he just came out looking like Rin xD

What's the longest gaming session you've ever had?

god, probably the 7-10 hour blocks last year-ish where I was trying to grind out 100% psychonauts 2 runs. I'd like to go back to that someday, honestly, if I ever have more time and energy. I'm sure the genius level brains in that community have solidified an actual route by now worlds better than the hapdash makeshift stuff I was doing on my own.

#anonymous puzzler answers #tumblrisweird #my one and only contribution to the 100% run is I pointed out you can do the psychoseismometers immediately on getting access to quarry #before that apparently they were routing that in at the very end of the game #but if you do them immediately the only enemies that spawn are the first 5 types and not heavy hitters like judge or panic attack. #my one mark on the world... everything else i was doing in the most unoptimal way possible because i couldn't perform precise tricks LMAO

(( Uh. Nice energy, I admire your spirit and appreciate the ask, but...

1 -> I don't generally rp with anons unless I know who's sending them (yes I know how that sounds lmao)

2 -> I tend not to appreciate people taking my muses and putting them in places they might not be without my permission - even if it's somewhere else in a city they all do have the potential to exist in (Seakira and Caseclosed are both regularly Elsewhere in the multiverse) and

3 -> Unfortunately none of my Akira's have a Morgana right now - SeaOfThieves' Morgana is lost with the rest of Seakira's friends (well, technically SEAKIRA is the lost one, but point remains), Caseclosed's is technically elsewhere since Caseclosed is throwing a fit rn in plot and has run away, SCP!Kira's Morgana likely doesn't exist since SCP!Kira doesn't interact with the Velvet Room whatsoever in his verse (assuming it exists at all for him), and Wildchild is a good few years pre-game so Morgana probably doesn't exist for him either, since Yaldy hasn't taken over the Velvet Room by that point, in all likelihood

But again. I appreciate the energy. I just... generally like knowing who I'm threading with, who their muse is, who the MUN is, and in general, a little about where the plot could possibly go - which I can't know from a mystery anon and their equally mystery muse...

Apologies. ))

#pt; anchors weighed #Attack of the Mystery Norwegian??? #this ask came straight outta left field #stared at it for a good few minutes trying to make sense of it #I don't like rping with anons tbh; it's kinda uncomfy #mainly due to the utter lack of info on the other side of the rp #the korra one was special cause I know that was from my friend #they don't have a blog for her (yet?); hence; anon #also precisely how would akira know this stranger is norwegian specifically #that is an odd inclusion tbh

[nebulouscoffee]

Kira for the ask game, because I've sewn you mentioned liking her but haven't seen you talk about it much yet and would like to enable you

Yayy thank you!! (and I'm sorry I took so long to respond, it's been a very hectic week😅)

one aspect about them i love

Kira really embodies a lot of what I miss most about Star Trek tbh, which was the real desire to make the audience uncomfortable. Don't get me wrong; there is a lot about TOS, TNG and DS9 that didn't age well- but I still think an important goal they all shared was to take certain ideas and ideologies that might've seemed far-fetched to the audience of the time, and say- "why not?" Also, "Does this character's existence- and presence- make you uncomfortable? Well, maybe that's a YOU problem." And that's a goal which (imo) really faded over the years, because they grew more and more afraid of turning off the conservative audience. But not with Kira! Within minutes of her introduction, she offers a scathing shutdown of the "frontier" that Star Trek was quite literally built upon. She is literally a sympathetic "terrorist" MAIN character (rare enough), and furthermore a woman- and that too a "difficult" woman, who refuses to let herself be ignored or compromise her people's needs for the Starfleet crew's comfort (!!!), who is ANGRY and deeply religious and nationalistic and PROACTIVE and stomps around and shouts and cries and disagrees and wears her passion on her sleeve and is not at all afraid to make a nuisance of herself- and yet, still has numerous flaws and so many moments of self-doubt and raw vulnerability. What a fantastic character! This was 1993; I can think of so few TV women from that era who actively challenged the constructs (and men) around them so much. I love everything she represents

one aspect i wish more people understood about them

That her arc is more about learning to land upon nuance; not toning down her Bajoran-isms. Her patriotism and faith do occasionally steer her the wrong way, yes- but Kira's growth doesn't at all involve her renouncing either of those things! If anything, it's Sisko who ends up having to adjust to her perspectives. In general I'm always craving more nuanced discussions re DS9's postcolonial dynamics, too- Kira has such a range of interactions with Cardassians on the show, and numerous episodes ('Destiny', 'Life Support', 'Ties of Blood and Water', etc) show that she's genuinely invested in peace between their peoples; something I think often goes ignored. Yes, she's justifiably furious about everything they did to her home- but at the end of the day, what she wants is justice and reparations for Bajor and Bajorans; and if a small (understandable) part of her does want to see Cardassia crash and burn, she really doesn't act upon it

Also, she's funny! Remember when she told Dukat the baby was O'Brien's with no further explanation? Lmaoo what a troll

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character

That she only received a very basic education. She does mention finger painting and playing springball as a kid, but also- Kira grew up in a refugee camp and she joined the Shakaar cell at age 12; she probably missed out on the higher education even the average Bajoran of her generation received (which itself was likely Cardassian State-controlled). Idk, this is low key important to me because so many Star Trek characters are almost like- defined by their scientific and educational smarts, if that makes sense? It's refreshing to see a Trek character who doesn't quite make sense of herself or the world around her primarily through (Western) scientific constructs

Also, Kira absolutely has unexamined caste biases; she just never really learnt to recognise them because caste played such a minimal role in the Resistance- but most Bajorans are far more aware of caste dynamics than she typically is (I just do not buy that the D'jarra system completely went away in less than 60 years)

one character i love seeing them interact with

Ben Sisko! They have SUCH a fascinating dynamic, it's so complex and sweet and often quite trying and hurtful but still kept afloat on this deep, deep underlying mutual respect. Ben's position as the Emissary makes everything so wonderfully complicated, and watching Kira's frustrations at the fact that she actually believes in him morph into reassurance as he slowly transforms from being the Starfleet Outsider to truly being Of Bajor... ahhh it's so good. That scene where he invites her to a baseball game lives in my head rent free! (Also they high key make a fascinating ship imo, I am something of a post-canon Sisko/Kira/Kasidy truther)

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more

I have multiple answers to this (Julian, Worf, Garak, Keiko, Ziyal, Cretak, Jake, Ezri, etc) but I'm gonna go with someone she actually interacts with quite a bit, because I just wanted mOArrr. Jadzia!

Yes, it was the 90s, so I'm glad they were at least allowed to be friends and not like, cattily pitted against each other. But I still craved more layers to their onscreen dynamic! I mean, Jadzia, the Starfleet "Science Officer" who openly dismisses Kira's religious beliefs on more than one occasion? Kira, the child soldier who finds most of Jadzia's pastimes and preoccupations frivolous and silly? It's so interesting that they keep spending time together despite such fundamental differences, and I would've loved a bigger exploration as to why! They deserved their own 'The Wire', basically. Much like the central two characters of that episode, the answer is that they actually have a LOT more in common than is apparent at first glance (fraught senses of identity, complicated relationships with their home worlds, a sense of loss regarding family) where they outwardly seem like polar opposites. And all of this is not even getting into the nonlinearity of Bajoran religion vs the lives of Dax... gosh, there was room for so much! They deserved a whole Big Sequence full of Monologues the actors could really sink their teeth into, they deserved for one of them to fly off on a dangerous quest to save the others' life- and you know what!! They deserved a little homoerotic hand-holding too!! But, I suppose that's what fanfiction is for😂

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character

She and Bashir definitely grow much closer after the show's end; whether he stays behind on DS9 or not :)

#just gonna clarify- my second point really wasn't targeted at anybody on here. not an attack I promise!! #I just feel like we erase the nuances with her a bit #like in wider trek fandom I've seen a lot of people talk about her attitude towards cardassians as if she's a bigot #which I feel is extremely reductive of her character (and dismissive of her trauma too) #meanwhile on here people (sometimes) talk about her like she walks around with a CARDASSIANS DNI banner or something #like the very suggestion of her (or any other bajoran) having to interact with a cardassian is unthinkable and offensive? #and imo this really just doesn't reflect canon at all! (or irl postcolonial dynamics. but.. I don't wanna go there lol) #recently was talking to a mutual about her dynamic with cardassians (g@rak in particular) and it made me realise #they're actually far more civil with each other in the show than even I make them out to be! and I'm like- the no1 'k1ra & g@rak' fan lmao #even in TOBAW she's actually invested in ghem0r's politics. she's enthusiastic that he represents ''hope for cardassia'' #and she REALLY doesn't have to be! yet she is. what precisely this says about her is so much more interesting to think about #also... idk. in general writing bajor as if completely and magically stripped of all cardassian influence and interaction is so weird to me #(let's just say if things really worked that way I would not be writing this in English lol) #tysm for the ask btw!! always glad to have an opportunity ramble about k!ra nerys :) #ask game

[stellarynn]

Part of the joy of emulating Tears of the Kingdom is that I can rebind my controls to something sensible. Like switching cancel to be Circle (A on the Switch), and confirm/interact to be Triangle (X on the switch), keeping jump on Square/Y, and then attack on X (B on the Switch). Because that just makes so much more sense

#don't kill me #it actually works well for my brain #jumping and attacking are the highest precision actions so they go on the buttons next to each other where my thumb sits #and then sprint needs me to move my fingers

whenever a character i like has big trauma i always gotta slap some kind of chronic pain hc on there. whether through some metaphor or good old fashioned psychophysical c/ptsd symptoms

#most of the belmonts #richter and juste are hands shaking in solidarity #i think juste might have had more physical injury and richters is more psychologically driven like adrenaline making her sick #(definitely not projecting heh.) #i choose to believe richters power comes from like extreme mental fortitude or turmoil #as in its very instinctual like if richter were to think too much about it he would end up attacking less powerfully #its not a stretch to feel like richter would be familiar with the feeling of adrenaline and making use of it #juste seems wayyyy more methodical though #and not that he isnt physically strong but probably not as much brute strength as careful magic precision #richter also had his whole mind invaded in order to channel this adrenaline-like power so it makes sense #not that juste didnt have his fair share of trauma because he was like one of the youngest belmonts i think #sadly it would make sense that if juste was so young that he might be physically weaker and maybe have sustained injury easier #i just really love when the struggle of a character comes up in ways that effect their quality of life because um. well im definitely not #projecting #or anything #its mostly for the hurt/comfort that can then take place #maxim supporting juste and annette/maria supporting richter. that kind of thing #i love the themes of humanity in this series and in my mind that means everyone freely supports each other #which is why the church and dracula are both the enemy- their love comes at a cost whether you realize it or not #castlevania thoughts #richter belmont #juste belmont
