Me Giving A Pressed Conference: Our Advocacy For The Disabled Must Include The Addict, The Imperfect

You are a PRACTICING OCCULTIST. You deal mostly in white magic, you can't deal with that dark magic hogwash. You enjoy the work quite a lot, especially when you are WORKING AT THE COFFEESHOP and writing WHOLESOME LITERATURE. You recently lost a CAT, and hope he returns home soon. What will you do?

i have such hate in my heart

i also think you can interpret the "no healing powers" in the same way you're supposed to read the prt power scale and classifications in worm, which is human beings trying to categorize and make sense of a cosmic horror alien virus that they do not understand and that does not play by their rules. like when doctor mother says there's no healing powers, i don't think we're supposed to accept what she says as unquestionably true. doctor mother sucks and she's wrong all the time! the entities have a healing function and cauldron has stripped it for parts. in fact, part of the way cauldron recruits (see, e.g., eidolon and alexandria) is to promise healing.

thematically i actually think there's an interesting reading of noelle's power as a "healing" power, or as noelle receiving one of eden's healing functions. when noelle drinks the vial, she's both grievously physically injured and being re-traumatized by the simurgh into hating her body. the shard in the vial responds to this by trying to "fix" her - it straightforwardly heals her injuries, and then it gives noelle what is, by the shard's standards, a perfect body. it's eden's body! the horror for noelle is that this is deeply coercive and violating. pre-simurgh, noelle wants to "get better," but she also wants to do that on her own terms and at her own pace.

i think it all links up well to themes of coercive treatment/ableism that we see throughout noelle's story and so into my own little personal headcanon it goes <3

I think your busses at bare minimum need to run every 15 minutes if you want to claim that public transit is a viable option in your city.

If Clockblocker transitioned her name would be Timesnatch

i can’t find words for my anger right now so here’s a collection of thoughts that share the sentiment

Sex (putting your penis inside of someone) isn't real. It was invented to sell 80s porn vhs tapes. Before that people made love the way nature intended (by suffocating eachother with plastic bags).

I wonder what Earth we are on?

there's this trick that racists/queerphobes/etc do, it's really slick. let's just do a little dialogue as an example, the names have been obscured but I've seen this exact exchange happen before.

Stephanie mc. Influencer: "And furthermore, body positivity intersects with black liberation, as black women are often held to unattainable eurocentric beauty standards"

Suave Replyboy Jr: "Lmao, you leftists always tell on yourselves, did you really just say black people are ugly??"

You see the trick here? it's kind of complicated, like, Stephanie is arguing from the perspective that beauty standards are arbitrary and subject to change, Suave understands beauty as an objective hierarchy, so he dunks on Stephanie safely from the inside of that standard. To him, and likely to many people who haven't thought about their own assumptions very much, the only reason black people would want their own body positivity movement is because they're ugly. Bonus points if Stephanie is white, and you can rile her community against her with claims of racism.

I've been getting some replies like this on my posts about sexual trauma, kink, and queerness. Like... I say that sexual deviance of all forms can intersect and correlate with queer identity, and dozens of Suave Replyboy Jrs come out and dunk on me from the other side of the glass, from inside the false universe I'm trying to discredit, the one where "sexual deviance" is immoral and associating queer sexuality with deviancy is an insult. I'm not saying queer people are dangerous perverts, that's you.
