Glad That Im Not Popular Enough To Have An Evil Shadow Version Of My Blog That Exists Just To Make Contradictions

So with all the Oakie shenanigans, I have lost (much of) my anxiety around posting my art, including fanart and OCs. The floodgates have been opened XD

Today y’all get to see my silly little robot OC Lian, courtesy of me several months ago arbitrarily deciding that April 10 was her birthday (day she came online/was finished).

She’s young and kinda naive and has autism vibes and wants to learn and do All The Things. Her lesbian moms/creators are a robotics expert with autism and anxiety and an ex-military android with zero fear but Much Trauma, neither of whom have very good social skills, lol. So their kid doesn’t have good social skills either, but unlike her kinda isolated parents she’s very extroverted. Her mode of social interaction is based on my own, aka walking up to random people and being enthusiastically weird at them hoping someone will want to be your friend. (This is surprisingly effective in real life, for anyone wondering). To me she’s kind of like a fanchild for a story and characters that only exist in my own head, in that she’s not even part of the main story, but I wondered “what if these characters had a kid” and then the thought would not leave my brain.

Thank you @mangobronypower for voting for Oakie and spreading the word! This is a digital piece we did featuring a lady beetle :)

Please, please support them. I can’t imagine being in this situation. Whatever you can spare would help.

Please help me be able to go to the mental hospital.

Hi I don't know where to start so uh if you don't know me, I'm Hollow. I have been medicated and doing therapy for a bit now. I had breakthroughs and ups and downs. But somewhere in me I'm not safe and I need to go get professional help instead of hoping I can fight it long enough it goes away.

But its not as easy as checking in. I have been denied disability and in the meantime we're without reliable income. Biggest issue is, its not just me. My sister, our pets, and our home rely on whatever pennies we can scrape up. If I leave without covering the bills, we'll lose our home and she'll have nowhere to go. So my options are hope I survive and pay the bills, or come up with the money asap so the bills are covered and I can admit myself to the hospital.

I'm gonna be honest, I am both ashamed and disappointed that I even have to make this post. But I have no other options.

TLDR; I need to pay the bills before hand so I don't lose everything if I get life saving care.

@printerpenguin thank you for sharing, I will now share a tiny figurine of The Knight from Hollow Knight

[Image Description from alt text: A badly edited image of Mettaton from Undertale with an arm around Troupe Master Grimm from Hollow Knight. Both characters have a pink blush and the background is full of pink hearts. End ID.]

[Image Description from alt text: A badly edited image of Mettaton from Undertale with an arm around Troupe Master Grimm from Hollow Knight, depicting them as blushing and in love, in a heart-shaped frame. Text above and below the heart reads “Dance with me, darling…” and “The audience awaits.” End ID.]

This came through my dash, so here’s my cringey crossover crackship: Mettaton from Undertale and Grimm from Hollow Knight. These definitely-gay deadly dancers both live for the show… I can’t help but imagine the chaos of a combined act! They’d also argue because Grimm’s aesthetic choices and general style are way more tasteful than Mettaton’s though lol 😆

I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider

Sharing this to help them out

Please read and reblog

Hey I'm Hollow. I'm a disabled trans/nonbinary young adult. I need help and mostly have no way to get it so I'm asking you all to please help me get my foot in the door so 2023 can be the year things get better. My health isn't very good and for me to qualify for assistance they want doctor proof so I have to pay out of pocket to see a doctor for now. I am also a month behind on my rent due to my inability to have a job and need help catching up. I will have help covering things soon I just need to catch up first. This amount covers the bear minimum to pay my overdue bills so I'm safe and housed and to get me in to see a doctor so I can get moving towards government help.

We've made a paypal pool and here's my ko-fi if you want to help but the pool is no longer open. We appreciate any help we can get. Sharing helps out a ton. Thank you to anyone and everyone who spares us the thought.

Holy fuck. I’m aroace and haven’t had this experience (thank god I wasn’t online much as a teen), but that might have been because as part of a non-disordered System* most people who knew about my sexuality (or lack thereof), knew about me as distinct from my Headmate, and thus already had a socially acceptable reason to hate me.

My sister is bi and identified as lesbian for a long time, but our family and friends have been accepting, so she didn’t face much homophobia. A few years ago she said that maybe she shouldn’t be allowed at pride events, because “it’s not like she suffered for it.” Like, no???? No! I’m not accepting the idea that you have to meet a certain level of trauma to be queer. Most LGBT+ people not having queerness-related problems is kinda the goal here? And when people talk about their issues, you don’t say “your issues aren’t big enough.” Telling people they’re not hurt enough to join doesn’t keep your community safe, it just fucks people up.

*If you’re curious: we don’t know for sure why we’re Plural and if it was caused by trauma or not, and our experience doesn’t seem to fit with DID or any diagnosis we’ve heard of, but it’s pretty goddamn clear to us and almost everyone we’re close with that we’re distinct selves and Not Singlet. We have a few mental health issues, but we don’t think being a “we” is one of them.

idk can we stop…treating a.ce disc.ourse like it’s some haha funney cringe compilation or whatever the fuck because it fucking destroyed the entire ace and aro communities. there is no solid aspec community on tumblr anymore (which was by far the biggest number of aspec ppl). exclusionists took our community and fucking smashed it to pieces and y'all treat it as this fucking stupid joke when they traumatized, gaslit, and abused an entire group of queer people back into the closet. fuck every single person who doesn’t take that seriously.

please know that being disabled does not make you incapable of being ableist .

have faced ableism from other disabled people . who thought they know more about my experience with my disabilities than I do . or who thought that me being disabled is some how " threatening " them being disabled too , as if can not both be disabled .

have had other disabled people make rude comments about my disabilities . when I said that what they said was ableist , they question me , say " but I disabled " .

yes , you also disabled , but can still be ableist / say ableist things .

you not immune to say rude things / make mistake . that is ok . you just need admit when you make mistake or say rude things or be ableist . accept it happen some time and learn from it . otherwise , still being ableist .

ignoring disabled people when they tell you being ableist is being more ableist . listen to disabled people , including when you are disabled too .

Fantasy concept: a world in which dinosaurs survived and coexist with humans, but only some of the smaller ones 

they’re mostly harmless to people (although some of the more predatory ones might occasionally eat a small pet) so people feed them and keep them as pets 

Some of them are smarter than dogs and cats and can use simple tools 

People tend to underestimate the commitment it takes to have a pet dinosaur 

In cities you sometimes find them scavenging roadkill and eating out of dumpsters 

Dinosaur meat is very much a thing, you can get dinosaur nuggets at the grocery store made with actual dinosaur 

There are also some traditions that use them as working animals for hunting, kinda like hunting dogs

There are a lot of dinosaur enthusiasts who go looking for dinosaurs and keep track of the species they’ve seen as a hobby 

Anybody living somewhere other than a big city probably wakes up to dinosaur calls in the morning 

In temperate areas you get big migrations with the changing seasons, a draw for the dinosaur enthusiasts 

Like any other wildlife, at least some species can be a nuisance, people might like seeing dinosaurs roaming around their suburban neighborhood until they start pooping on everything and nesting in the garage 

But they help keep the descendants of those giant Carboniferous bugs from getting out of hand
