I Went Outside For The First Time In Over A Month!

I went outside for the first time in over a month!

I've missed the outdoors so much. Everything is so beautiful. I actually had to close my eyes and breathe in multiple times because it's so overwhelmingly gorgeous out there.

There was water and ducks and trees and dogs and sun and insects and plants and wind and clouds and sky!

I've missed it all so much and I know it'll probably be another month before I get out again so I'm trying to savour the memory right now.

do you know... the muffin man?

THE MUFFIN MAN

So hi! I'm a lesbian, agender, BIPOC, disabled mentally and physically, AFAB and polyamorous.

incredibly cringe and embarrassing that you unironically ‘identify’ as all these things lmao

I am lesbian, agender, polyamorous, BIPOC, disabled mentally and physically and AFAB.

Even if you're anti-LGBTQ, you cannot possibly argue against me 'identifying' BIPOC, disabled mentally and physically and AFAB because I am biologically all of those things so I don't really understand what point you're trying to prove.

Am I cringe for being of Asian heritage? Am I cringe for being born with female anatomy? Am I cringe for being disabled? Am I cringe for being queer? Cos if so it sounds like you're saying I'm cringe for existing and there's not a lot I can do about that dude.

WOW! Long time no post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been up to stuff! I can finally share some of the things I've been working on as part of the @gospexchange

This short-but-sweet little comic is a gift for @deathly-shipper based on the song Céu Azul by Ana Gabriela

I had a lot of fun making this, the song is very sweet and cozy and I hope I captured the vibes you were looking for!

Here's an AO3 link if tumblr makes the quality stinky!

A group of people loving each other (men, women or neither) is queer.

Three women loving each other is queer.

Five men loving each other is queer.

Four gender neutral people loving each other is queer.

A woman, another woman and a man loving each other is queer

Polyamory doesn't immediately mean one man with many wives.

Polyamory is consensual, loving and all about healthy and supportive relationships.

I didn’t realise this was a debated issue until recently so can I just say that polyamorous folks are queer.

They are people living in an unconventional relationship that deviates from the societal expectation of one man and one woman loving each other and each other only.

Polyam folks are the queerest motherfuckers. Sending y’all some love!

Hello! If you don't mind me asking: Whoever wants to answer, what does 'endo' mean?/genq. I'm assuming it's something that, if searched up in Tumblr, won't yield 'nice' results (as in, it would come up with discourse blogs or something along the lines of that.) I'm not looking for an argument, I'm just curious/gen as I've seen the term floating about, but I'm not sure what it means.

Thanks if you answer, no problem at all if you don't/won't! :D/gen Have a nice day

Hi! Endo is short for endogenic system. An endogenic system is one that exists without DID. There's a lot of discourse as to whether you can be plural without being disordered (ie having DID, OSDD, UDD etc). Personally, we don't think we know enough about the topic to definitively say whether we think it's possible or not. Some people very strongly think it is possible and some very strongly think it isn't.

Discourse around the topic is harsh from both sides so I'd advise you to try and stay out of it and form your own opinion!

Endogenic systems sometimes use other terms to describe themselves like multigenic or mixed origin. Multigenic means they think they formed for multiple reasons and are multiple types of "genic". Mixed origin means they think they formed from both trauma and endogenic reasons. There are also BPDgenic and MDDgenic which are terms referring to the idea that the system formed because of another disorder.

Another term you might hear is traumagenic. A traumagenic system is one that formed from trauma. The vast majority of the time they have a dissociative disorder.

If we're going even deeper, there's something called tulpa. The term tulpa originates from an Asian background (Buddhist I think) and refers to purposefully creating an alternate identity. There is a lot of talk about whether it's cultural appropriation for non-asian people to use this term. We believe that this is a closed practice and people without Asian origin shouldn't be using the term tulpa but not everyone agrees.

There are also traumagenic systems who use endogenic to refer to a specific alter who they feel didn't split because of trauma.

On top of that (and I know this is getting long) there are endogenic systems who believe that they are disordered without having a dissociative disorder or a system that formed because of another disorder. Our personal opinion on this is that it's offensive and that endogenic systems are not disordered. However, we might be wrong and I encourage you to come to a conclusion on your own.

That's everything we can think of right now but feel free to ask more /gen! Take care of yourself because discourse can be rough.

:D
