no empathy with high compassion culture is people mistaking you for being hyperempathetic because you constantly try to help people

…you wonder if people see helping others as inherently emotional and not rational.

Eating Jausn with König

A Brettljausn is just about the best thing out there. I wrote this back in November when my classmates decided to talk about Easter and Osterjausn, so the formatting is different. However, I thought it would work well with the Easter post, so I decided to post it now.

“Honey, what is that?” You looked at the wrinkly, dark colored thing in front of you. It might have been a sausage, on closer inspection. The plate was well filled with all kinds of meat and cheese. On the side were horseradish, eggs and pepper of all colors. On a small plate in front of you were small, sliced cherry tomatoes, the basket next to it held bread.

“It’s a Brettljause, it’s what we eat on special occasions, such as easter. But you don’t always need one to eat it. Just enjoy the meat, dear. It’s all from regional farmers as well.” König seemed rather content while looking at the food. You knew that Austrians loved their meats and sausages, he had told you about that before and you made fun of him for it, but you didn’t think he’d take it upon himself to prepare something like that. It seemed like that must have taken a lot of work. Must have been fairly costly as well. There was bacon there, it looked fairly good.

You took a piece of bread and picked up some meat with a fork. “And what’s this?”

“That’s Geselchtes. I call it Gsöchts, though. It’s meat that you put in salt water before smoking for a few hours. Before eating, you normally cook it. Don’t worry, this one doesn’t have too much fat on it, you can just cut those pieces off.” He put some gray-ish meat on a slice of bread, adding some egg slices and topping it off with some of the grated horseradish. Its scent wafted through the air, stinging your nose a bit. You watch him take a bite out of the bread, he locks his eyes with yours once he notices. “Is something the matter?”

“No, no, everything’s alright.” You looked at the pink meat on your fork, a bit hesitant to give it a try. König seemed to like this sort of food, he likely wouldn’t have prepared it otherwise. Besides, it was classic Austrian cuisine, apparently, it was only polite of you to try it, at the very least. Taking a bite out of the meat, you ran your tongue across it to give it a taste. You could definitely taste the salt, but it wasn’t too bad. It simply added to the flavor. The meat wasn’t very chewy, but you wouldn’t exactly call it the most tender meat either. It was actually surprisingly good. Instead of putting it on your bread, you simply ate the piece whole before picking up the same thing König had. “And what’s this?”

“Schweinsbratn.” He didn’t even hesitate to gobble up his bread, already on his second one. This time he put some bacon on it with cheese. Eggs and horseradish weren’t missing this time either. One of the tomato slices was lifted off the plate and put on his instead.

You followed his example and put two slices of the meat on your bread, topping it off the same way as him. That meat wasn’t too bad actually either, it was obvious that it was made of pork. With the horseradish being very fresh it was only natural for it to be spicy still. It didn’t disappoint, the taste somewhat reminding you of wasabi, even if your eyes started watering a bit. Your bread was gone soon enough and you opted for another one. There was no telling if König’s next one was his third or fourth one already.

“So, Schatzi.” He prepared another one. “Is it good? Do you like it?”

“Oh, it actually is. It’s pretty good.” Taking some of the red pepper, you put it on your bread with Geselchtem, gulping down a few of the tomatoes. You were sort of surprised this stuff didn’t come with a salad as well.

By the time you were on your third bread, the plate was already pretty empty, with König having eaten quite a lot. He’s always had a rather big appetite, and for that you were grateful, there was no way you could have eaten all of that on your own. You hadn’t tried the dark, cut up sausage yet. Of course, you had no idea what that was either. “What’s this? Sausage?”

König quickly chewed the food in his mouth before swallowing it down. “Yes, that’s Hoatwiastl. Hartwürstel, I suppose. As the name suggests, it’s a hard sausage. It’s very good, though, you have to try it.”

It was rather hard indeed, you were glad it was cut up into smaller slices. Biting into it whole would be another other ordeal. It was too small to put on bread, so you ate it along with it. Once done, you were completely full, incapable of eating another bite. There were still pieces of meat and cheese left on the plate, it was unbelievable. König didn’t seem affected at all, he simply got up and started putting everything away before returning with a bottle. If you had to take an educated guess then there’s a chance “Wein” might have been the German word for “wine”. “Would you like a  Spritzer? It’s essentially wine mixed with soda.”

“Is that really necessary? Do we really need to drink too?”

He chuckled a bit. “It’s a big part of our culture. Alternatively, I can offer you some Gösser or Puntigamer.” With an amused expression, he watched you weigh your options. You didn’t know what either of those things were, probably some sort of beer, thus making you better off with the wine, probably. König even got the two of you some wine glasses. They were fancy looking, but you weren’t sure if you could actually take a sip of that.

He really just put mineral water into some wine, drinking it slowly. With a watchful eye, he almost expected you to take after him, which you did eventually. It tasted exactly the way you’d imagine, sparkly wine with a bit less flavor. Not the worst you’ve ever had. The things you did to make your man happy.

You continued to eat for another few minutes, this time in silence, for the most part. The plate was certainly full at the beginning, you couldn’t believe your eyes when most of it was gone. Still, despite the culture being rather meat heavy, you had to admit, it was pretty good. However, it was very filling. You couldn’t eat another slice of bread, opting for the meat and sausage instead, eating some slices of cheese along with them. Maybe some mayonnaise would have been good with it as well, but you didn’t want to make the suggestion in case König didn’t like it.

After wiping his mouth with a paper towel, he sat back, letting out a content sigh while holding his tummy. Even he seemed to be rather full after the copious amounts of meat he had eaten. Not like you weren’t, however. He took another sip of his Spritzer before putting the plates away, with you helping him out a bit, naturally.

“Thank you for trying some of my food, I do appreciate it. Did you like it?” Cleaning the plates with a sponge, his focus was on getting the last few crumbs off it so he could put it in the dishwasher. You popped one last cherry tomato in your mouth before handing him another plate, giving him a hum of approval.

“Yeah, it was pretty good, but could we maybe eat something less meaty next time? This was quite a lot.”

“Don’t worry, Schatzi, next time we can eat Kasnudeln. They’re also very delicious!”

Do you think the in-universe fandom has the equivalent of "y/n gets sold to One Direction" fics about the reader insert being sold to Chris McLean to work as an intern on Total Drama and meeting the participants?

And do you think that Sierra definitely wrote at least one of them?

[daydreaming-en-pointe]

So I recently had a not-so-nice anon in my inbox asking why I write for desi readers when ‘barely anybody who is actually desi’ reads my works. I chose not to respond to their original ask because it has a few racist stereotypes, not to mention blatant insults.

First off, I’m sure that’s not true. I refuse to believe that on this enormous site with well over a million people there is not one desi who watched ATSV and fell in love with its characters, and wanted to see more of themselves in readers. I refuse to believe that because I know for a fact it’s not true; I’m moots with a few desi writers and let me tell you even if they don’t necessarily write fics targeted towards explicitly Indian readers, their works are still fantastic and yes, they read my desi fics. (vee silvia shoutout to u guys ily ❤️) And I’m sure that there are others, too. Maybe they don’t read my writing but I’m sure they’ve searched for a fic that has a protagonist that they can relate to, at least once.

That first part may not have made any sense but anyway — secondly, it is not my duty to have to write for everyone else. I can very well choose to write about my own culture and my own experiences if I want to. I write desi readers because in a way, ATSV helped me love my culture and my background. And now, I want to introduce other people to my experiences, and to my culture, because I think it’s beautiful. I personally LOVE reading fics with Latina (or any ethnicity at all) readers that highlight parts of their culture. I love reading about cultures that I previously wouldn’t know much about.

Anyway, to summarise this: fuck you anon I’m just gonna write more desi-centred fics 😊

Unpopular opinion: don't like, don't read

Yes, 100%. Imo i think this is actually a common opinion amongst the general population, because people tend to simply avoid what they don't like.

But the i-know-i'll-hate-it-but-i'll-engage-with-it-anyway-and-then-complain-about-it mentality saturates fandom spaces.

[theriancultureis]

new therian culture is seeing some videos on therians and what it means and how you may be one and thought that it really spoke to you but you're scared you're faking it.

if you're scared your faking, you're very likely not. faking is intentional.

there's a chance you are wrong, but thats different from faking, and its okay to be wrong. but for now, if it feels like it fits, call yourself a therian!

[cluster-b-culture-is]

hi, sorry, whats pro-endo and sysmed?

cluster-b person here. love your blog ♡

Thank you!

For an older answer to your question that talks a little more about the articles I mention later on, I urge you to read this post, although it is pretty rambly and just a tad angry/exasperated in tone. I will explain here in a way that is hopefully easier to read and more concise, along with less rambly and emotionally-driven.

Tl;dr, "pro-endo" refers to being supportive and accepting of endogenic systems, i.e., systems that did not form (exclusively) from trauma. This also (usually, and at least for us) includes supporting mixed origin systems. Sysmeds refer to system medicalists, who gatekeep systemhood, which causes damage and harm to the plural community. Pro-endo also does not mean "actively engaging in syscourse", which is a common and, frankly, exhausting (and sometimes even triggering!) misconception to deal with.

System medicalists, or sysmeds, are people who try to gatekeep systemhood and medicalize plurality, and most (if not all, as i have yet to meet or hear of a "pro-endo" sysmed) believe that systems must form from trauma, and all believe systems must be disordered. This is false, as has been shown time and time again by multiple studies (link goes to a document that contains multiple studies on plural people, both traumagenic and not; note, at least one of the links is broken, but if you search the title, the study is the very first link that comes up).

The reason this is relevant is because Mod Reef is a non-disordered endogenic collective, and feels deeply uncomfortable with sysmeds, due to some of these very common beliefs held by sysmeds:

That all endogenic and/or non-disordered systems are faking for attention

That all endogenic and/or non-disordered systems are actually traumagenic and just don't realize it

That all endogenic and/or non-disordered systems are harmful to the community

That all endogenic and/or non-disordered systems are invading disordered systems' spaces

Some combination of the above

Sysmeds have also perpetrated harassment towards endogenic and non-disordered systems in many cases, and many who don't do it themselves have justified it in their minds through one or more of the points above (or through some other thing that I may be missing). Even if they haven't, sysmeds often remain close-minded and refuse to listen to the experiences and stories of endogenic systems.

The ironic thing is, they believe that they are protecting the community, when they are very much doing the opposite. There are many horror stories out there of exclusively medicalized communities being vicious and controlling, and often ripping each other apart at the slightest sign of someone not fitting their expectations. This is blatantly dangerous and makes the community inaccessible to questioning systems or to systems who don't fit within "the box".

The term sysmed is often called transphobic, due to parallels with the term transmed. However, they describe different things, and the suffix "-med" is not exclusive to transgender medicalists. It must also be noted that sysmeds and transmeds often use similar arguments to try and make their points, although smarter people have detailed these similarities than us, and seeing as it is late, I am very tired, and this post is already long, I will not attempt to do this myself.

Note that pro-endo does not necessarily mean "actively engaging in syscourse". I myself try to avoid syscourse as much as possible, as it is entirely too exhausting and anxiety-inducing for me to handle; I simply do what I feel I need to in order to make the spaces I am in safe for me and those around me.

The view that held language to be an entirely human phenomenon: this view became current once it was discovered empirically that the so-called sacred languages [those of ancient theologies, primarily] were neither of primordial antiquity nor of divine provenance. What Foucault has called ‘the discovery of language’ was therefore a secular event that displaced a religious conception of how God delivered language to man in Eden. 

For the linguist, language cannot be pictured as the result of force emanating unilaterally from God. As Coleridge put it,

Language is the armoury of the human mind; and at once contains the trophies of its past and the weapons of its future conquests.

The idea of a first Edenic language gives way to the heuristic notion of a protolanguage (Indo-European, Semitic) whose existence is never a subject of debate, since it is acknowledged that such a language cannot be recaptured but can only be reconstituted.

— Edward W. Said, from Orientalism (1978.)

Something about Persephone me, 2022

When I say I know Persephone I don’t mean a word about Hades. I mean I know about the sunlight of a world in bloom And a Persephone who sits with Demeter in the fields. I mean I know the cries of a girl who’d take any deal To rise from the underworld and see her mother again. I mean the tragedy of the word “parted”; To say we were once whole, Now rent in two.

#emma writes #poetry #emma's poetry collection #queued #i remember reading a tumblr post once about how the myth of persephone and hades likely had a lot to do with the cultural practice of #of women having to leave their birth families after marriage to become part of their husband's family instead #and how demeter and persephone were meant to be a model of that--daughters being seperated from their mothers #and the love and grief all tied up in there #Anyways--I wrote this poem for my mom #she's not gone I just love her and thinking about being separated like that makes me cry
