Life in an Autism World

My mom bought me this book for Christmas

The Resurrectionist by EB Hudspeth, a fantasy field guide full of anatomical illustrations of monsters and cryptids.

The musculoskeletal systems are fun to look at, but not nearly as in-depth as I would have liked. If you have more than a passing knowledge of taxonomy (or in my case, access to Wikipedia), a lot of the details fall apart under scrutiny

The harpy has four upper limbs connected to one shoulder girdle; it shouldn't have arms, only wings

The sphinx is not classified as a mammal, but is still somehow in the family Felidae with cats (and like the harpy is also drawn with only two girdles despite having six limbs. I will give the author credit for giving the sphinx a keel for the wing muscles to attach to)

It lists the Hindu deity Genesha as a cryptid, which is a no-no.

Cerberus is also explicitly not a mammal, but somehow still a canine (literally in the species Canis with wolves, dogs, and coyotes)

Both mermaids and dragons are listed as members of the order Caudata; the only extant members of Caudata are salamanders, which kinda makes sense for dragons, but not so much for mermaids (also, the author keeps playing it fast and loose with cladistics; both mermaids and dragons are in the same order despite being in different classes, and while dragons are explicitly said to be amphibians, mermaids are given the fictional class mammicthyes, which means mammal-fish. At that point, why not just call mermaids amphibians? Why make up a fake latin hybrid name?)

But what bugs me most of all is the classification of the Minotaur as its own order of mammal when in mythology it is explicitly described as a hybrid of two known species (made possible only by the cruel machinations of the divine, but still)

To use actual taxonomical nomenclature, the minotaur's species would be B. taurus × H. sapiens (specifically B. taurus♂ × H. sapiens♀; there are, to my knowledge, no legends of H. sapiens♂ × B. taurus♀). That's how ligers, tigons, mules, zorses, pizzly bears, narlugas, etc., are described.

If I had written this book, I would have leaned more into evolutionary biology. Most land animals have four limbs because they all evolved from boney lobe-finned fish, which split off from the boneless sharks and rays millions of years earlier, so any six-limbed vertebrates would need to be descended from a fictitious category of six-finned fish which would either be an offshoot of boney fish/tetrapods (I guess they'd be hexapods, though that term refers to insect arthropods), OR a precursor to boney and cartilaginous fish that both clades split away from much earlier (it's easier to lose structures than to gain them, so it makes more sense for a six-limbed ancestor to spawn four-limbed descendants than the other way around).

Think about how different elephants are from humans, and humans are from aligators, and aligators are from penguins, and remember that they all evolved from the same ancestor tiktaalik, an amphibious fish that existed some 375 million years ago. Imagine a precursor six-limbed species and how diverse all its descendants would look after 400 million years. Save for the occasional instance of convergent evolution causing two unrelated species to independently evolve similar body plans to fill the same niche, tetrapods and hexapods would look nothing alike. There would be very little recognizable overlap between the two. A six-limbed "pegasus" would not look like a real world horse, and a six-limbed "dragon" would not look reptilian/dinosaur-ish, for much the same reason that giraffes don't look like frogs; they're just too distantly related. Bonless sharks and boney fish and whales/dolphins all have similar looking bodyplans only because their environment requires the same hydrodynamic shape, while terrstrial vertebrates are much more physically diverse.

Big shout out to the coalition of Catholic nuns who just told the US bishops to stop being transphobic.

“As members of the body of Christ, we cannot be whole without the full inclusion of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive individuals,” the letter reads. It goes on to argue that “we will remain oppressors until we — as vowed Catholic religious — acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people in our own congregations. We seek to cultivate a faith community where all, especially our transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive siblings, experience a deep belonging.”

The letter also states transgender people are “experiencing harm and erasure” in various ways, listing daily discrimination, a groundswell of state-level legislation aimed at LGBTQ rights and “harmful rhetoric from some Christian institutions and their leaders, including the Catholic Church.”

Molly's Recurring Wet Dream

I, um, wha, whazz… izzat you, Renee?

“No, sweetie. It’s just another one of your sexy dreams. You remember your sexy dreams, don’t you? You’re always lying in bed, just like you are now, so groggy and sleepy that you can’t really move a muscle because….”

Because I’ve been… hypnotized….

“That’s right! Good girl! Because you’ve been hypnotized. That always makes so much sense in your dreams, even though the waking Molly knows she’s too smart and too strong to ever go into a deep hypnotic trance for me. It’s only in these silly, sexy dreams that you realize you’re so weak that all I had to do was whisper a single word, and your fuzzy little mind decided to go to bed early for me. You remember it all now, don’t you?”

Uh huh. S'not real, though. S'just a dream….

“Of course it is, honey doll. It’s all just a dream, and that’s why it doesn’t startle you when I come in and lie on the bed next to you without any clothes on. If you were awake, if you could open those heavy, sleepy eyes and really look at me, you’d be surprised… but because you know I’m not really here and I’m not really touching myself while I stare at your perky titties, you can just relax and enjoy this sexy dream. Isn’t that right?”

S-sexy dream?

“Oh, yes. It’s very sexy. Every time I pause, you can hear my fingers sloshing and squishing inside my soaking cunt. Every time you inhale, you can smell the scent of pussy getting stronger and stronger. It’s turning you on so much… and because it’s all just a dream, because it’s not really happening and there aren’t any consequences, you don’t have to resist those sexy feelings, do you? You can dream about your fingers creeping down between your legs and rubbing through your panties, making yourself wetter and wetter as you imagine me masturbating right beside you. It’s so hot, isn’t it, pretty girl?”

H-hot, I… y-yes, hot….

“And because it’s so hot, you can imagine a little bit of your straightness melting away every time you have this sexy dream. You can picture your rubbing fingers teasing away a little bit more of your resistance, making you a little bit more gay for me each time you fantasize about being hypnotized into my weak, horny lesbian slut, and when you wake up you’ll feel so good and happy you won’t even need to remember it. Isn’t that right?”

Unh, unh, uh huhhh!

“Until the day all that resistance is gone for good. Until the day you decide to seduce me, all on your own, without even knowing why. That’s when I’m going to make that pretty pussy cum so hard, sweetie pie. That’s when I’ll show you all the wonderful things you’ve been dreaming about.”

Y-yes, Mistress….

The existence of the DecoPunk genre/aesthetic implies the existence of other early 20th century art movement inspired Punk genres/aesthetics. Such as NouveauPunk, CubePunk, DadaPunk, SurrealPunk, FuturePunk, FauvePunk, VortPunk, and StijPunk. But idk if we’re ready for that conversation…
