#collapsed where it happened

[bonefall]

it is healing to come onto this blog and see basic respect for diasbility after being in other corners of the fandom and reading the words “snowkit could never be a warrior because he wouldnt know what anything is. he wouldnt even know what a clan is because nobody could explain it to him” said in full seriousness

Im..... That statement is so ableist I cannot even imagine the worldview you'd need to have in order to come up with that.

They really think the only way anyone learns anything is through verbal-speaking-words-noises? No one has ever observed something before? Not even once?

This is beyond touching grass, this person just fell out of the fucking Jurassic Period when all they had was ferns and stegosaurs.

I just...

OH YES. I remember my first day of Society Lessons as a hearing person, where the everything was explained to me. Via Audiobook. FIRST they spoke and said, "you are standing on the ground." It was a life changing revelation, and the world began to spin.

But it did not stop.

THEN they said, "there are fingers on your hands." The sensation of flesh and bone crackling into existence is indescribable, but I did not yet know pain, until they told me, "that hurts." I began screaming immediately.

And yet... it continued.

They explained so much. Chairs. Tables. Walls. The sky. Frogs. Ionizing radiation. Breathing. I was told all of it, in one sitting, and only then did I understand. Only when my ears were bursting with normal hearing knowledges, did they begin... my final test.

A strange wall-chair-finger emerged from the sky-of-the-wall, stood on the ground several times, until it was in front of me. A second one came behind it, this one slimmer. The audiobook gave these things names;

Human. Father. Mother. Door. Walking. It was completely impossible to know what these things were until that very moment.

I watch a human dip a hook into water and produce a fish, and I recall my Society Lessons where they called that "fishing." I am decked in the face by a nefarious hooligan, and I have only the audiobook to thank when I know I have been "punched" by a "bad guy." It was only the magic of verbal-speaking-words-noise that made me understand that there are "other people" and that they "do stuff."

Sometimes, even, in "groups."

Before the Society Lessons Audiobook, I knew nothing. I was pure, innocent, uncorrupted by concepts such as "parents" and "door." I am grateful every day that there is no such concept as "being shown things" or "simple logical reasoning" or "looking."

Blessed be those amongst us who escape the horrors of the Society Lessons Audiobook. I pray that you never learn what anything is. Be free! Free as a bird, which also knows nothing and famously cannot learn. 🤗

DEAF/HOH FOLLOWERS I'm losing my mind do you want me to bump a 'Hearing Disabilities Herb Guide' to the top of my priorities? Something you can use to bludgeon whackadoodles like that. This is ridiculous

Obviously not a MEDICINE guide but like; common causes of hearing disability in clan cats. Accommodations for hearing loss vs congenital deafness. Actual difficulties of not having that sense Clan-by-Clan. Debunking of misconceptions like... not being able to learn APPARENTLY.

#bone babble #Fennelposting #Obviously the answer is 'theyre incapable of THINKING' but like... they do know snow has a line right #In the book. He figured out. A word. Through observation. #He says 's'all right' because he knows it calms ppl down #He did not need to hear the magic words 'You can make noises at others to influence them' #Like a fucking tutorial tip #Im going to start keeping a JOURNAL of ''times people have been weird about snowkit specifically'' #Ableism #cw ableism #I could also link to the pawspeak thing so it's all in one place #I wrote this last night and put it in the queue and I laid awake thinking of this... #What do they think happens when someone goes to another country where things aren't written/spoken in a language they know? #Do they think they wouldn't be able to figure out anything? Do they think the tourist would just perish #Would they collapse in the streets of Berlin sobbing? #Happened to me. Went to England and they called it a Car Boot Sale instead of a Flea Market and I died to death #AND if I did make that guide please tell me if there's any other weird misconceptions you need to see in it #I know that ONE of them is going to have to be that. like. deaf people make noise. #theyre actually quite loud because they don't know they're making noise #and people with hearing loss do not suddenly forget how to speak. #and people born deaf dont talk like cavemen #cw body horror #tw body horror #EDIT: OOPS sorry I have such an astonishingly tolerance for body horror I did not realize that counted as body horror

[panharmonium]

Man, these past few days...so many thoughts. About my life then, my life now. What I missed. Thoughts about what I'll never have. And what I want to have.

#gilmore girls #this episode is another one where it's like #lorelai had this huge horrible thing happen #and instead of making it about her she turns the whole situation into an opportunity to do something great for rory #she takes rory to the college of her dreams and doesn't give away even the slightest hint of wistfulness #when it triggers all these thoughts about what she missed and what she gave up to be rory's mom #rory comes out of a college classroom so excited about 'college is gonna be amazing; i can't wait; i love college; i love harvard! #and lorelai just makes space for rory to be giddy #and tells her how amazing she is and how she blew everyone in the classroom away #without ever once letting on that she has painful emotions about her own missed opportunities #she makes this whole trip into an opportunity for rory to celebrate and revel in her upcoming future #even when lorelai's own intended future has just collapsed! #anyway i'm learning to make gg gifs myself so i don't have to put my bookends thoughts on other people's sets #but this one really is the most bookends vibes #vague bookends thoughts #*

[completeoveranalysis]

Wait

I've changed my mind

I'm going back in

We're coming back down the hill with another liveblog!

#Bick's desperation for Tsubasa answers EXPOSED #liveblog announcement tag #Liveblogging the reservoir chronicle #Vol 208 #You can't just dramatically- * #*And then followed a series of edits where Bick made a badly worded joke about stabbing #Because of Ides of March #But then it was overly confusing #So he edited it out #But then he read the chapter a little bit further #and then came back to edit the tags again #Because guess what happened #What a train wreck #What a complete collapse of a joke

[bananonbinary]

finally got ahold of a copy of system collapse!!!!

a lot happened here but honestly canon ART sibling slap fight is the only thing i care about now. god i NEED to see how they grew up together, if they have family reunions, everything about these stupid AIs.

#im so glad it has siblings that are just as obnoxious as it is <3 #system collapse spoilers #the murderbot diaries #do you think thats like a Problem at the university #where all the scientists are like: okay they seem pretty well adjusted. ish. but all our robot children turn out to be huge assholes. #why is this happening

[bonerot19]

lots of angst…

how many bocces of tissue do I need to prepare 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️

depends on whether or not I ever finish writing it 😪

it's called that bc it starts off with something very heavy happening to Jason (steph and jason are grabbed by black mask and he knows jason won't talk but he thinks he can make steph talk by hurting jason) and is, essentially, the bats feeling like shit and Jason wanting them to leave him alone and no one having any boundaries and Bruce assuming Jason will do something vengeful. also Roy is there but the more I learn about Roy outside of fanon, the more I hesitate to write JayRoy (but also I like iiiit)

and also Jason says: “But that’s the problem, Bruce. I keep my promises, but you never trust me. And you’re a liar, but I always believe you.”

#I-just-want-to-see #i have quite a lot written but I don't know how I feel about writing the literal opening scene #like #it's SA the thing that happens is SA and i thought about changing the plot to take that out but i think it makes the plot make less sense #so maybe I'll finish this one day #bc it has a lot of Jason being better than the bats give him credit for #and everyone always expecting the worst even when they think they arent #(jason is stuck in a collapsed building with black mask at one point and bruce tells him he has to save mask) #(and everyone is mad at him for telling jason to do that) #(but jason is mad that they would assume he wouldnt) #((bc he keeps his promises and he promised he wouldnt kill unless he needed to)) #my fic!! #you see where all of the angst is tho

[baeddling]

Me when I want to strawman communist organizers as lazy ivory tower conspiracy theorists instead of understanding and engaging with any revolutionary politics:

#idk abt u but the people actually doing that work are revolutionary communists #you're just mad bc u dont understand basic marxist principles #also once again since this always seems to happen when people feel like their militant persona is at risk of collapsing #you do not know me #you do not know how #where #when #why #or who im organizing #youre assuming im politically unengaged bc u need rhetorical high ground or you'll lose face for being a true-blue shitlib

[arsenic-katnep]

i apologize to anyone who knew me during 2021

#nothing bad's happening but #anytime i remember something that was before 2022 i start to collapse onto the floor with my hands on my head screaming in agony #i was pretty cringe. maybe im still going.. its just not on the level i was back then #but then again i did help deliver some katnep crumbs for those out there to devour. but it wasnt anything good like how id think it be #i would have made this my 3 year aniversary post but i am 2 months late #so... thanks for sticking around. maybe ill try creating more stuff #just less homestuck centric things. because its not really a main interest #but it is kind of like a ghost where it will haunt you from time to time #kind of a wordful in the tags if you ask me #but periodically i should speak a word once in a while so people know im still alive

dream: i have learned something today. perhaps humanity is not so bad after--

hob: hey look! cheez whiz! how neat! :D

dream: ..... it is time we had The Flood 2.0 and started over from scratch

#modern life is the bane of dream's existence this i assert #god the sandman is just so ripe for shitposting #dreamling #also like #i feel like dream is pretty good at figuring stuff out and i mean he has everyone's dreams to help #but he also missed out on history for a full century #so there's definitely a few months where he's just having like. constant fits of despair as hob shows him YET ANOTHER #newfangled and cursed invention #and what's funny is i dont think dream would be averse to like phones and the internet and stuff it's probably FASCINATING #from a dream perspective actually #what gets him is the fact that the grocery store has 168 brands of white bread #hes like why. for the love of god why #so much shit has happened to catch up on like #more happens in the 20th century in terms of technological developments and stuff than in like 3 centuries prior #dream looking around at climate change: destruction and despair i see you've been running the place in my absence hmm #hob: hey did you hear about this thing called nfts #dream. who has in fact heard of this from many many distressing dreams: no. no. do not speak to me of this cursed object #hob returning from babysitting a friends kid: god childrens media is awful nowadays isnt it? i mean granted i had literally sticks #to play with as a kid but they have this horrible show cocomelon-- #dream collapsing to the floor in a puddle of pure desolation: noooooooo i have already had to watch 500 million hours of babies dreams #of this shit why would you REMIND ME #the possibility for crack is literally endless pun intended

Honestly I think it's awesome, reinforces the fact they're cyborg computers and can just dump infected body parts out of the can !

Imo Pebbles may have dropped his labs first, realized he still got rot cysts crawling on parts he cannot just throw away, then started to resume giant water intakes to flush whatever clung on away. Moon collapses afterwards.

If anyone would like to give me an iterator anatomy lesson I'd actually love you so much I'm neither good enough at biology or technology stuff to know anything.

ANYWAY I don't know if there's any other part of Pebbles he has actually thrown out that we can see but hm...

I wonder if this little guy had selfish little thoughts. Not born out of malice, but fear and frustration. I mean his project has failed, everything is going WRONG.

Now.

Moon is already in a horrible state. She's not stable, she's also part of why this is happening. The water he could stop taking wouldn't do much for her, she's a lost cause.

But he's still functional. He can still try and finish his work. I mean it makes sense why he shouldn't stop. Moon will collapse anyway. While Pebbles has the chance to solve the problem still.

He was this close after all.

#ask #hohhoho im not fact checking all im saying but yes #i also need to say that the events of what happened #happened INCREDIBLY FAST #in a game where we see these robots in like such different parts of their lives #where we assume many years have passed #moons collapse happens in the span of DAYS from implications #maybe weeks #she already begins to worry about her life after pebbles has been taking water for only TWO CYCLES/roughly TWO DAYS #THESE PUTERS #CANNOT #last AT ALL without water #nobody had enough time to do anything #it was a very very scary situation #pebbles is a scared little guy trying desperately to survive #even during artificer times #he believes he can fix himself or at least find something DO SOMETHING before the rot takes over #and he must do it now and all alone #to make up for what happened #as if it would #HOHOHHOHOHO SORRY I LOVE GOING ON TANGENTS SO SORRY #kiki rambles #geeai #rain world

I voted before seeing the NO option would have been Obi-Wan's POV! Now I kinda want to change my vote but tumblr won't let me :( I hope this won' be the only time his POV becomes an option. I imagine his thirsty, thirsty (and evil, as befitting a Sith, of course) thoughts about Anakin would be a hoot to read. From cunning and plotting to yes Daddy to bitchy what the kriff who is she---?!?!?!

Absolutely obi-wan’s POV will come back….the real question right now is will Obi-Wan’s POV be filled with his manipulative attempts to punish Anakin for leaving him and choosing to keep to his boundaries? Or will it come later when he’s less manipulative and Sithy, more head over heels in love with him?

(also the most pressing question for the next segment is who is more mad at who: obi-wan, because anakin LEFT him when he was throwing out SO MANY WILES to entice him, or anakin, because he does not want to be here doing this he's just too good of a person to NOT, and the POVs would really feed into the 'who is most mad')

#asks #democratic fic #obi-wans pov would be so fun #100% he probably like. mind tricks some people in the lower levels to rough him up just enough #that he can show up at anakn's apartment (yeah he does know where anakin lives and thats normal anakin) #and just collapse dramatically #because look what happened when anakin wasnt with him #(hes mad as hell anakin caught padme when she stumbled and is fixated and making anakiin want to take of him) #all the while though obi-wan's internal monologue is spitting mad #because anakin did not dance to his tune!!! #how dare!!!!

thinking about how in Nor the Battle to the Strong Julian had to bring a generator back to the camp while badly injured, and thinking about how in The Siege of AR-558 Julian was injured in the battle but still got up and started being a doctor as soon as it was all over

#star trek: ds9 #julian bashir #thinking about Julian powering through pain because he has a job to do. #I wish this was something they used more #or at least just once as a focus of an episode #it’s a great character beat for him #it makes me want to bundle him up in a blanket and hugs #hence why I like it so much #but yeah where is my episode where Julian is badly injured and hides it #forcing himself to power through because he has to help everyone #until he collapses and everyone takes care of him for once #where is that episode #it could happen I guess I have over half a season left #but somehow I have my doubts

"reading under the red hood and it's pretty good i think" - jason todd fan who has only seen the cartoon adaptation of under the red hood

#getting my hands on the comic for utrh is cracking my entire brain open about werewolf fic like you don't understand #the cartoon movie was pretty tight but the comic is more robust. and yall the themes for werewolf fic...they're all coming together #now if only i could write the girls fighting FR I'M TOO SOFT YOU GUYS OTL #i'm just feeling insane over the first confrontation with bruce and how Jason tells him that 'gotham is evil' #and 'you have to fight her where she lives' and 'i live there' LIKE #it's only fueling my crazed impression that the end to Jason's philosophy has only two ends #when he's done what he's set out to do and rid the world of evil by cutting it out (which is futile; blind and toothless etc but details) #either: he changes his philosophy and becomes the very type of villain he hates or he dies himself. because he also deserves death #'i live there' ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? #sorry if this is Not News to people or if Jason has had some serious growth vis a vis this entire mindset but like. #I'M INSANE ABOUT IT. I'M CHEWING ON IT FOREVER #and bruce is the wrong person to try to sway Jason off this path. theres way too much baggage too much history too many complicated feeling #but...tim...? >.> #tim i think has enough 'this is not my philosophy this is company policy and i'm the worlds okayest employee' energy to eventually do it #like obviously stuff would need to Happen for it to be possible lol but you guys. this is what made jaytim so tasty to me in the first plac #tim being capable of meeting jason halfway like bruce can't; tim being able to hold the conversation with jason without it collapsing #tim having rebuttals to jason's arguments that might actually get somewhere with him eventually... #i'm not saying it would be fast or easy or even make sense in canon lmao but think there's a lot of fic potential there owo #like tim's vicious streak is something jason would appreciate. :3c #local jaytim fic author rambles about jaytim in the tags once again more at eleven lol anyway #jason todd #dc

I feel like I'm always discovering awesome aus on your blog lmao

There are so many other extremely cool bloggers who have like 10 different AUs that they post about and draw fanart for and I am both jealous and not one of those people. Sometimes I can just spend hours on their blog scrolling through their AUs, it's fun. Most of the time they're like a list of headcanons and worldbuilding and it's fun to mess around there.

I'm not quite like that, since I'm not a very creative person and when I have a good story idea 85% of the time I just write it. If I have a really robust series of headcanons for an AU I've written then I tend to just write another story. Also people send me asks where I can give more detail on my AUs! My stuff is always the tip of the iceberg in terms of what's fucking going on there, so I love the excuse to talk about it.

But there are some stories that I know are awesome ideas but will just never get written, which includes the Green Lantern story (I'm guessing that's what you're referring to?). I didn't really present it as a list of HCs, because my mind doesn't work that way, but just the summary of a story that won't be written. Thing is that I know for a fact it's a story with a lot of potential, but - and I really normally don't think like this - the audience would be so incredibly niche and the story would have to be so long that the ROI would be low. I write tons of stories that I never post, but those are usually because I have demons and my brain goes crazy if I don't write it. There's limited hours in the day.

All of my AUs and a few meta/HC tumblr posts are on the masterlist on my blog, so browse to your heart's content :)

#imagine if the no chip au was just a few rambly tumblr posts #nothing wrong with that whatsoever. #but I think I wouldn't actually understand the story or have the ability to make it a good story #if I didn't actually write it #I can generally tell by looking at an idea if it would make a good story or not #but oftentimes it's something you have to figure out while writing #there's plenty of stories on my gdrive that are two pages long because I realized it wouldn't make a good story #if a story is hard to write it's not good. #that's the case for me. good stories are easy. and ALSO hard. but good stories are easy and hard. #they're hard bc you have the ability to go above and beyond #and stretch yourself and do something great #badly structured or story ideas that don't work are hard to write bc they don't work #oh oh oh to clarify this: #it is easy to write SHORT bad stories #i have gotten into an argument on the internet about this #w/a guy who was like “i have no story structure climax or tension and my stories are great” #yeah theyre like 3k words. you can do whatever if it's 3k. #but a story that's meant to be longer collapses under its own weight #and it's PERFECTLY FINE to write 3k stories where not much happens #we write for fun do what sparks joy etc #but you won't grow as a writer #and imho very personally it's not fun to do a hobby and #never get better at the hobby. #you feel stagnant and talentless and you never get the satisfaction of doing something hard #..........maybe this is why so many writers on tumblr seem to hate writing.??.....ill never get that #oh well #my asks
