This is so powerful, and so true; If you abstained from voting because you didn't want blood on your hands? Congrats you've successfully bathed yourself in it for the next decade or more.

The "if you voted for Trump unfollow me" posts are returning, but given then general makeup of your average tumblr user I think there's a different message I'd like to give.

If you didn't vote because "both parties are the same" or "it won't make a difference" or because Kamala wasn't the pure and perfect leader that you wanted or you "didn't want blood on your hands", honestly whether or not you follow me doesn't make a damned bit of difference. But I want you to look. Take a good look at the despair around you right now. And every godforsaken thing that follows I want you to fucking look. Look and know that you could have helped prevent it. We still haven't recovered from his last four years, the world hasn't fucking recovered, and now we're staring down the barrel of god knows how many more years and a river of fucking blood to come along with it.

But your pride and your principles were more important to you than the actual real fucking world we live in.

I hope, if nothing else, that you can take this in. I hope you learn. I hope you grow. I hope you find it in you to realize that in this country they soak our hands in blood the second we take our first breath and the only thing that matters then is what you fucking do with them. What you fight for. Who you fight for. Who you defend.

I hope you wake up. And you step up. And you fucking fight.

But until then. Don't you fucking dare look away.

This. This on so, so many levels. The stark contrast here alone should be enough to prove why this election was so important and why we're so afraid.

Among other things -broadly gestures-

Something that I've been wondering is like... when Obama or Biden won their terms, did Republicans post a ton of suicide hotline info the same way we are? Because it's a lot right now.

The whole wifeswap bit was incredible and especially how you can see the gears turning in Gem’s head where she doesn’t want to call Joel her husband (funnier because Lizzie is on the server) and so logically defaults to wife. And everyone rolls with it!!

THEYRE SO CUTE OMG

Not much to say, they're literally just snails brugh. It was a nice challenge, I rarely get to practice creature design, translating from mc clothes to molluscs while still paying (some, quotations) respects to the original source material.

Has Pearl Really Betrayed Gem?

Inspired by (this) recent transcript of Pearl talking about siding with Scar in SL and not believing she betrayed Gem at all.

It's interesting how Pearl always saw Murder Camel as a fun but temporary thing -- it was never a real alliance to her -- while EVERYONE ELSE clearly thought it meant something more. We're talking the Mounders discussing moving in with Gem & the Scotts level serious. Gem /definitely/ thought it was something more. Even in WL Scott was like "and you were like three steps away from betraying us and being your own thing with Pearl" (also him stressing that "no matter your other alliances, THIS is the top one" in SL). There's definitely something unequal here. And why is that?

Gem murdered Pearl. Like, twice. The second time while Pearl was actively BEGGING her to stop. For that red task to hit until she blocked with a shield.

So of course Pearl didn't see it as a real alliance. Both times she joined Gem were after Gem killed her! And to the other players who are veterans and used to self-sacrifice and murder, it's not that big a deal. But Pearl very rarely sacrifices herself -- off the top of my head she's only given lives to BigB back in Limited, which was much lower-stakes -- and definitely not by force. Pearl never really chose to ally with her. Working with Gem in the final session was almost entirely tactical: it was just a bonus that they got along.

And Gem? Gem doesn't notice. As far as she knows, sacrifice is not only normal but expected of a strong alliance. Thanks to Scott's immense self-sacrifice issues and Impulse's "yes and" tactical mind, she's literally responsible for two deaths apiece on her allies. Why wouldn't she lump Pearl in with that, who she's also taken two lives from? (Whew, does Gem murder a lot of people. love her). When she'd turned Pearl red, Pearl was angry and hurt, but Gem apologized. "I can't believe you still wanna be friends with me after this." Gem had said, and Pearl replied, "I can't believe it either. But I guess here we are."

That's why it's such a betrayal at the end. Gem thought they were okay. Scar's been public enemy #1 for so long, Pearl literally chose him as her target when she turned zombie. Meanwhile, Gem and Pearl have been working together for the past 2-3 sessions (plus or minus a couple times Gem murdered her). Pearl should've turned on Scar.

And that leads us to now. Gem, who was betrayed because she thought she was safe and Pearl was cool with it and was her ally. When the server thought they were so close they would team up together. When really, Pearl had never thought the same, because why should she? Gem had only ever hurt her and her allies. No, Pearl's only crime was not communicating clearly enough and denouncing Gem entirely. But against the whole server, the fandom's gaze too, all insisting Gem and her were in Life, for Life?

5 AM Pearl has a lot to work with.

Thank you so much for reading! I, too, fell into the trap and accused them both of betrayal. But I was blinded by wanting Shinyduo to stay together! I should never doubt you, Pearlescentmoon. Never let us sway you from your path.

“but you’re so young!” congrats. you just proved that your biases about what disabled looks like are preventing you from acknowledging the facts.

gem headcanons

got that dawg in her

Ykw Impulse DOES fit in GGGG. He may not be a master manipulator, warrior or peace maker, but he is fierce and he is loyal. He growled when Skizz was hitting Pearl, he shifted closer to BigB when he was trapped in the cobwebs. He's not gimpulse he's guardian, Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss Guardian. He won't win this season but his team will and I think he'll make that sacrifice

reblog if you’re okay with booping spams

Ok so at this point I've had two people roll up to me in manual wheelchairs, well, one of them was somebody pushing somebody who was nonverbal at the time, but it still counts. They asked me why I had zip ties around my tires.

It's winter where I'm living and we have really bad snow. And the snow plow people are really bad at their jobs probably because there aren't snow plow people who clean sidewalks. As a solution I got to thinking about how I could increase the traction on my wheels. And the most redneck thing I could think of was taking a bunch of zip ties and tying them around my wheels. They last surprisingly long, and work surprisingly well. It's basically the same premise as chains for your tires during the winter.

I chose to space them out pretty evenly so there's about one for every spoke. You could probably do more or less depending on how many you want and how much traction you get but I wouldn't go more than three per spoke. I realize that it's a bit later in the winter, and I probably should have made a post about this sooner, but I came up with it about a week ago. So please share this, even if you're not disabled, because there are tons of people I know who are stuck in their houses because they can't get around in the snow. A pack of zip ties costs about $5, which compared to $200 knobby snow tires is a big save, and if you want to invest you could get colored zip ties.

*minecraft eating noise*

Thought I'd add some of our own :3

The Tapeworms: 7/10 Really funny if you get the reference, really gross if you don't; Even better if you have a willwood factive

The Senate: 6/10 Funny political commentary but only when used in a negative context and also yucky politics

Rats: 6/10, ratatouille references can only get this one so far

The Spanish Inquisition: ???/???, what???

The Watchers: 4/10, obscure mcyt reference -3 for that + it's in accurate -3 for that

Things to call headmates other than "my Alters"

Headmates: solid 8/10, clearly a system term though

The Others: 7/10 kinda mysterious, not much pizazz

Family: 9/10 yeah replace those sorry ass relatives of yours!

Brothers/ Sisters: 8/10 personally I like calling them my brothers and sister, but tbh kinda sounds like catholic priests/ nuns. -2 points

Chat: -10/-10 How is it so perfect, yet so awful, yet so awfully perfect?

I know the sword eating was accidental but I simply can't ignore how beautiful it is, so here's a lil drabble about it. Warning for gore, enjoy this I guess.

Pearl doesn't want to kill, she doesn't want to be crazy, but they make her crazy. They sneer at her and cringe with fear, they hate her and fear her and whisper that she'll kill them all soon. They drive her mad with their whispering and then they betray her and she just can't take it anymore, she becomes the monster they want her to be. She doesn't want to be a monster, as the water fills her lungs she eats her sword, she won't take another life she tells herself as she devours the blade which would fell so many; Blood wells in her throat as her singed body sinks to the bottom of the aquatic cavern. She rises again, the madness and rage welling up within her once again, she will not keep her promise.

HEY GUYS!!

GUYS!!!

FRANCE HAS REACHED THE REQUIRED NUMBER OF SIGNATURES ON THE CITIZEN'S INITIATIVE AGAINST CONVERSION THERAPY IN THE EU!!

ONE COUNTRY DOWN, SIX TO GO!!

We also need still quite a few signatures in order to reach the one million required.

As to date, the six other countries with the most signatures are:

Spain - 38.72%

Finland - 30.31%

Ireland - 24.86%

Netherlands - 24.15%

Germany - 23.54%

Belgium - 23.09%

So yeah, still a long way to go, but we ARE slowly getting closer. Don't stop now! Don't let this stay within the community, either, if you have any friends or family who are open to queer rights, get them to sign, too!

Imagine living 3 years in the body of someone else’s dead son ?? Fully assuming his identity bc what other choice do you have. Practicing ‘your’ name in the mirror. Idk dear Evan Hansen should’ve gone this far maybe

The oddity of having a co-host who doesn't believe in witchcraft but doesn't care if people practice it, a co-host who's getting into witchcraft, a primary gatekeeper who's been a witch for over a year, and a co-host who is literally a god and is best friends with Lucifer, King of Hell & Samael, Angel of Death, is incredibly confusing. -Em, the host who doesn't believe in magic

Just got so worked up over fakeclaimer I remembered who I was for the first time in a week cuz damn if there's anyone who can write a paragraph and a half when I meant to write a sentence or two, it's me -Emilia

I agree with all of this, and want to add my own take in. If there's any reason you should be fakeclaiming people, which there isn't, then it should be because they Don't have fictives from popular media. The more popular the media is, the more people watch it. The more people watch it, the more systems see it, and therefore more systems will split fictives of it. Claiming somebody's faking because they adhere to basic statistics is obtuse and obscene. I absolutely expect to see plenty of dream fictives, hazbin hotel fictives, office, or whatever other popular media. It's literally common sense, please dearest readers, use some critical thinking before you start shouting and pointing at people because they watched popular media while going through struggles. -Em, forever disappointed in the internet

certain fictives make me suspicious. i wont believe you're a system if you have a dream fictive, or anyone from hazbin hotel, or if you have the entire cast of one of those super popular shows. sorry. that's just how we work.

Interesting take and I do see where you're coming from, however this is essentially fake claiming an entire group of people, including those who have diagnosed systems who happen to have introjects from popular media.

There are a lot of reasons people split introjects, including stress and overwhelming experiences, and people with DID can split even after the brain has finished the majority of it's development, especially if they remain in an unsafe environment or they are stressed and already have a system caused by disassociation. Introjects are just another way that the brain choses to process trauma, albeit..a complicated one.

Some "introjects" are simply alters who feel they connect with a character, rather than someone they believe they are.

However, holding that in mind; systems online often chose to share alters, and experiences that they feel others may connect with, who wish to speak or who want to speak/post. We have many alters who don't post for various reasons, and experiences we don't talk about because they're too personal/too triggering etc, but that doesn't mean that they don't exist or didn't happen.

If someone states they have a lot of introjects from a recent popular show/film/fandom/book, and don't show other symptoms then I may become suspicious but flat out stating they can't be a system if they happen to have x character in their head is just... anyway-

Anon, unless you happen to be a psychologist, you don't have the right to entirely say that someone cannot have DID.

I hope I worded this okay. :)
