My Favorite Actual Chimera Moonpaw Designs Are The Ones Where One Part Is Black And One Part Is Orange.

my favorite actual chimera moonpaw designs are the ones where one part is black and one part is orange.

because of the way inheritance of the orange gene works, a 100% biologically female chimera can’t be orange and black.

with an orange mother and an orange father, all kittens in the litter would be orange.

with an orange mother and a black father, all male kittens would be orange and all female kittens would be tortoiseshell.

with a tortoiseshell mother and an orange father, a female kitten could be (with a 1 in 4 chance) orange or, more likely, tortoiseshell. half of all female kittens will be orange and half of all female kittens will be tortoiseshell, meaning 1 in 4 kittens will be orange mollies. male kittens could be black or orange.

with a black mother and an orange father, female kittens would be tortoiseshell and male kittens would be black.

(with a black mother and a black father, no kittens would be orange, obviously.)

the black/orange chimera moonpaw designs are intersex, trans, or both!

Because I was now a man, I could not speak about what it was like to be a woman. Because I had been a woman, I could never really speak about what it was like to be a man. Do the math: I could not speak. It was a double erasure, a double bind, in which every experience I had was false, and so nothing I said was credible. I could no longer derive authority from my experiences before transition, and shouldn’t even cite them — I had never “really” been a woman, so those things hadn’t happened — but those experiences could always be weaponized against me to prove I wasn’t “really” the man I claimed to be. They call it erasure, when this happens. I wasn’t prepared for how literal the term was. Every day, I could feel myself disappear.

Good news everyone I have accidentally discovered the stupidest fucking conceivable way to make myself to do chores

It goes like this…..

-

My car: *low gas light on*

Me: I mean, I COULD stop at the gas station on the way home… OR! I could just NOT do that and deal with it tomorrow

Me: but what if I get stuck in a time loop starting tomorrow and every day I wake up and my car is on empty that would be so annoying

Me: uggghhh FINE I will stop at the gas station.

****LATER THIS EVENING:****

My sink: *has all my bowls and tea mugs in it*

Me: okay I don't actually care about this problem for tonight I am not planning on eating soup or tea

Me: …yeah but if i do end up being stuck in a time loop starting tomorrow it is going to SUCK to have only dirty tea cups in the morning forever

Me: uuuuughhhh okay clean sink it is

I hate this. My brain must have an extremely low opinion of me to even try it, and it worked.

But hey, I don't have to try to remember to leave 5 min early tomorrow for a gas run?

the funny thing is, No I Wouldn’t. i would literally starve with food in my house and it has happened to me before bc some stuff is so bad that it genuinely doesn’t register as food and i completely just cannot eat it

"You'd eat food that's sensory bad if you were starving!"

You deathly afraid of jumping out of planes? Didn't wanna go skydiving? Well you would jump out of a plane if it was crashing, so therefore you can't really dislike jumping out of planes
