Snowells Week 2023 - Day 6: (Indigo) / Marriage of Convenience

All Nash wants to do is travel.

All Frost wants to do is work on her art.

But with the money running out for Nash, and the threat of being cut off from the family fortune for Frost, both of them are in danger of losing out on their dreams. Until they come up with the perfect solution - getting married.

Fuck the DSM. Seriously, fuck the DSM.

The DSM is and always has been used primarily as a method of rationalizing mistreatment of the people it labels as "deviant." When you look at the history of psychiatry, it becomes clear that things like drapetomania, protest psychosis, hysteria, and homosexuality as a disorder were not just thrown into there randomly. Rather, it showcases the power of the DSM: labeling and categorizing ways of being as mental illness opens up new paths of incarceration, social control, and curative violence. I need people to understand that the modern DSM still works like this: these classifications of madness/mental distress/neurodivergence into psychiatric labels encourage society to treat madness/mental distress/neurodivergence with the apparatuses used to eradicate "deviance." Diagnosis is not neutral.

As mad/mentally ill/neurodivergent people, we deserve access to more explanatory models of madness/mental illness/ neurodivergence than what the psychiatric language of normalcy and disorder offers us. Whether this looks like rejecting diagnosis, embracing varying cultural understandings of mental experience, or any million different ways of interpreting our bodymind, we deserve the option to move beyond clinical language that tries to convince us not to trust ourselves. We deserve to view ourselves wholly, leaving room for all our experiences of madness/mental illness/neurodivergence--the meaningful, the terrifying, the joyful, the exhausting. We deserve to have our own relationship with our madness, instead of being pushed to view ourselves as an inherent "danger to self or others" simply by existing as crazy.

Here's another truth: I hate the DSM, and I still call myself bipolar, a diagnosis that came to me through psych incarceration. While I wholeheartedly reject the DSM and the system intertwined with it, I simultaneously acknowledge and believe that many of the collections of symptoms that the DSM describes are very, very real ways of living in the world, and that the distress that they can cause are very very real. When I say fuck the DSM, I don't mean "Mental distress, disability, and neurodivergence aren't real." Rather, I mean that the DSM can never hold my experience of what it is like to be bipolar, the meaning I derive from experiencing life with cyclical moods. The DSM can't hold within its pages what it's like to see my mood cycle not as a tragedy or disaster, but instead as an opportunity, a gift, to grow and shift and go back to the same place over and over again, dying in winter and blooming again in spring. The DSM can't hold the fact that even though I experience very, very real distress due to those mood cycles--they're still mine and I claim that as something that matters to me. I call myself bipolar as a shorthand to tell people that I experience many things both extreme high and low, but I do not mean the same thing when I say "bipolar" as a psychiatrist does.

When we build community as mad/mentally ill/neurodivergent people, I want us to have room to share, relate, and care for each other in ways that isn't calling to the authority of a fucked up system with strictly defined categories. I don't want us to take those same ways of thinking and rebrand it into advocacy that claims to fight stigma, but really just ends up reinforcing these same ideas about deviance, cure, control, and danger. I dream of the day when psychiatry doesn't loom as a threat in all of our lives, and I think part of that work requires us as mad/mentally ill/neurodivergent people to really grapple with and untangle the ways we label and make meaning of our minds.

#jockjockjock #td jock #tdroti #fun fact. I like using indigo/jo’s eye colour as her signature colour rather than grey #because its pretty much the exact opposite hue of brick’s shirt (which i use as his signature colour) #i thought that was neat #opposites attract ig #plus her eye colour is just really pretty and not appreciated enough #they are VIOLET IN FIRELIGHT. COME ON

born to die

So; the story ends like this. The star is carried onto Gordion. Monsoon can hardly even move by the time they arrive. It is burning, charring as it moves, the bright flecks of indigo upon its skin dulling as it dies. It carries the star, faithful beyond words, trusting that Indigo will be there. And he is. He is.

So. They stand on Gordion, the only things there. There is nobody else. It is still far too early into the quota cycles.

Indigo does not understand the emotion that claws at his ribs, the awful heat that builds in his throat, behind his eyes. He cannot (and will not) ever understand it.

He is the one to initiate the hug. The last. (The first.)

It is such a desperate, clawing thing—Monsoon crumbles into him, smearing ash against his body. Monsoon is the one to wrap itself around him, because it knows that these are the last moments. It cannot muster the strength to clutch him as close as it would like, but it is not afraid. Why would it ever be? It's right here, where it began and where it will end, in the same arms that raised it. Fear has no place in its existence when Indigo is there.

#oc monsoon #oc indigo #lethal company #lethal company bracken #lethal company employee #lethal company oc #i have fun drawing monsoon burning from the inside out #i am normal #indigo's face is really weird which i am only just realizing #hello everybkdy my name is koka and today we are going to see how hard i can cry #indigo cannot physically cry #but if he could. i can assure you he would be crying. thus why his mouth is open #yknow those ragged awful breaths one takes whilst crying? uh huh #something about realizing that youd lost yourself in your purpose #for context. monsoon is carrying a star inside of its ribcage in order to destroy gordion #yeah. #i feel so kuch about these 2 its crazy #this 1 is for the tragedy enjoyers #koukart

Felix: Maybe you should stop talking in dramatic monologues if you didn’t want someone to cut you off. Hubert: ...

#felix hugo fraldarius #hubert von vestra #fe three houses #honestly this is (minus felixs second comment) just from the incorrect quotes generator #but please know that indigo and i have been sending back concepts of aus that will never really happen that is just #felix being a menace to hubert either directly or indirectly #like a pokemon au where hubert uses ghost types and can be easily destroyed by felix who has aegislash with ghost sneak #like just..... one boy obsessed with swords taking down his entirely well thought out team #just silly little ideas like that where felix is the bane of huberts existence and its been really fun ok

do you ever think about how at some point zack's eyes were indigo/violet, and when you do, do you also mourn what we could've had

#zack fair #ff7 #crisis core #listen #i get it #yes its a soldier thing #yes i know it represents mako/lifestream #yes i understand it reinforces the whole inhumane and uncanny vibe and thats the point #do i care #absolutely NOT #WHERE IS MY BEAUTIFUL VIOLET EYED MAN #to be fair i think they were only really indigo in last order but semantics #i have many more edits of these eyes that have yet to see the light of day #final fantasy vii

So I said that the teal mask dlc was dumb for having version exclusives, but the indigo disk did it again and even worse.

So there's a past version of the Johto trio and a future version of the swords of Justice. Currently, there is no way to get the Suicune and Verizion paradox pokemon, the only way was the limited time raid. Which is really stupid, anyone who missed that event can't complete the pokedex. Second dumb thing about it is that you can only find 1 each of the other pokemon, so if I want Raiku and Entai, I have to either trade for them (which the only fair trade would be my Terakion an Cobalion, which I want to keep) or I would have to buy Scarlet and the dlc, complete the entire game and both dlc stories, including Perrin's pokedex quest so I can unlock Raiku and Entai, then send them to myself over pokemon home, which would be expensive and time consuming.

Version exclusives were OK when it was like, gameboy and ds games that were significantly cheaper but like, they've made it near enough impossible for me.

#like i love this dlc it was really fun #and this is just one bit of post game content but its so frustrating that I have 2 empty spots in my pokedex and nothing I can do about it #pokemon indigo disk

hey Nightvale uhh what's up with your community radio host???

#revised cecil design heehoo #cause I wasn't 100% happy with the last one #he's got slightly curly hair now.. it's naturally REALLY curly but he straightens it (which never lasts long sdjhjgf) #his natural hair colour is black but the longer he spent on the show the more indigo it became #he never really realised due to memory issues and due to how slowly it was happening #he dyes it white because hes fruity #the eye tattoo on his forehead opens when he reads shit for the radio #PLEASE NOTE THAT. IM ON EPISODE 68 SO WILL BE GETTING THINGS WRONG PROBABLY #also his eye shine is permanently that colour.. even when the lights are white or yellow etc #its always coral [:< #annnd diamond symbolism because it rocks #when his hair isnt as long as it is in this artwork it's like a mullet #it was absolutely a curly mullet in the 80s #in the 50s and 40s he wore it short and gelled and swoopy #^ local nightvale listener learns that cecil is apparently ageless and immortal and is immediately horrified and thrilled at possibilities #wtnv spoilers #wtnv #welcome to nightvale #cecil gershwin palmer #nightvale #cecil palmer #wtnv fanart #lets hope this period of hating my art ends SOON people

Moon consort of Indigo Cloud

So I read The Books of the Raksura and it was pretty interesting read, I didnt like it as much as Murderbot and it has ton of problems, but the lizard people are still pretty cool... fragged up but cool...  

**Also... I read the whole first book somewhere online, and the text had all the second L's in words with two LL's missing, and I just thought that that was like.. writing quirk for that fictional world...but no :V

#dragon bee cat people what adventure will they go on next #the books of the raksura #raksura #fantasy #moon consort of indigo cloud #moon #art #sketches #my art #i like fantasy n scifi where there are no humans #anyway while reading the books i realized that i really need to rewatch dark crystal too #raksura are like... gelflings who are also skeksis combined with mistics but also not really #hmm #the books have so many fun ideas but they also meander n repeat so much its grrrr
