Identity - Tumblr Posts
If you're one of the very few who have so far managed to read ALICE, then the Stephen Chbosky quote will make a great deal of sense. No matter where we come from, it's where we go from there that really matters. How we adapt to any situation and make the best of it, that's what life is all about. Sometimes we have no options but to adapt to our circumstances and make our own destiny. If necessary, change who we think we are to become someone we never thought we could become.
“When life gives you a second chance, give it your best shot.”

“You look through people.”
My heart skips
Amber daylight
What compass steered to this?
Cross-hex
Transplant
as the compliment suggests
being in my place
How?
If that’s true
then what’s in a gaze?
What renders still
and seizes the frame
Drinks it’s fill
refusing the shame
Steely glass
or
Pooling mercury
Am I to blame?
What angel whispered
that emerald eyes
would
cast such stultifying rays
Puzzling ways.
I got my Leo sun in the 11th house, while my Aquarius uranus is also in the 5th. I’m kind of a mix of all this energies at the same time haha
An example of synthesis, using a scenario that is considered “contradicting” (Leo sun in the 11th house :: the singular identity in the home of the group collective)
the sign is how, the house is where:
leo sun ( [+] keywords on how they express their identity): vivid/vibrant, loyal, creative, passionate, loving, dedicated, determined/persistent, brave, dignified
11th house (where they express their identity): the development of the ego (sun) will revolve around the areas of dreams and aspirations of the future, the approach to society and social causes, themes of innovation and progression, friendships that are formed, and connectivity to the collective
In a reading I would bring this together and say something like;
“The visions of future dreams and aspirations are passionate and vivid in the eyes of the solar individual. He prides himself in being persistent and tenacious in pursuit of his purposes, shows a loving and loyal temperament towards those he has bonded with in the name of unity, and in his contact to the multitudes he draws others near with the vibrant, creative and magnetizing warmth of his light.”
As you can see, all we did was combine two concepts using a bunch of keywords. Try doing this with placements in your chart that you find “contradicting”
the sign is how, the house is where, and aspects further flavor planetary energies.
Hello Tumblr! Nice to meet you
Hi Tumblr, my name is Kaywin :)
My last name starts with A, which is why my blog title is ‘kaywina’.
I joined because I’d rather not support FB and IG, but still want a place to share my thoughts, adventures, pictures, and other silly stuff with the world, even if it means just posting into the void like this introduction.
If you’re reading this and want to know a bit about me, well -
I like to spend a lot of time outdoors, as much as possible really. I love cycling, skiing, skateboarding, swimming, and other sports.
I spend quite a bit of time poking around in the creeks and down by the river near where I live, playing my harmonica and singing to the birds and the squirrels. I think they like it!
I also like to read and write, and play games when I have the time. Mostly I like to play Nintendo and retro games. I like games that are cute and colorful best. I’ve been drawing and painting quite a bit recently, but I’m really terrible at it. Maybe I’ll share some of that in the future though... I have a young son whom I adore, and we have [edit - had :( …] a pet rat named Wagner. We live in a cozy little apartment on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. I think that’s about it for now! Nice to meet you, and looking forward to sharing more. All the best, -Kay
Saturnist Adventures – an animated short film on the subject of depression and identity.
The production process for this film was deliberately very different from my earlier works. I wanted to tell a fragmented and dreamlike story, so most scenes were made with little to no planning and then stitched together as best I could. No script, no storyboard, just a very clear idea about the themes/mood I was aiming for.
This wasn’t an easy film to make. While I’m still not sure how I feel about the final result, I’m ultimately glad for the experience.

I look up from a scummy narrow hostel sink expecting to see the customary mirror I am greeted only by a blank white wall I've never seen a more accurate reflection of myself
Third song on my "Six Songs" EP. Lyrics: Wading through The memories Of that time You were beautiful Fixated on The tragedies Of my life I was difficult And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all Wasting all My precious time Trying to put things right Wishing you'd still want me Fading into The starry night I knew then What it meant to be lonely And baby was Your only name I didn't know you at all And baby is Your only name I don't know you at all
“And I tell you this. My friends, there will always be someone seeking to use one part of your selves, and at the same time urging you to forget or destroy all of the other selves. And I warn you, this is death. Death to you as a woman, death to you as a poet, death to you as a human being.”
— Audre Lorde, from “Self-Definition and My Poetry“ (via violentwavesofemotion)
I actually don't think that the high percentage of autistic people who are trans/nonbinary has anything to do with how autistic brains work, and I think insisting that it does is a dangerous path to go down.
Rather, I think it has a lot more to do with the fact that people who are already othered in some way are more likely to question aspects of themselves and their identities than people who aren't othered.
Autistic people, and really, all neurodivergent people, are already the Other. Whether diagnosed or not, autistic people already feel different and already wonder why they're different. You can say the same about any Othered demographic. A cishet, white, able-bodied person in the US is less likely to question deeply how they feel because being of the normative class, they just assume others feel the exact same way as them (even if it's not the case).
Think about how many seemingly cishet people say things that make us as non-cishet folks tilt our head a bit, when they say things like "everyone is a little bi, doesn't mean you're gay" or "everyone's felt like a different gender, doesn't mean you're trans", because obviously not everyone actually feels that way and maybe these people could benefit from a bit more introspection, but they never considered it because they assumed everyone felt that way because everything else about their identity- whiteness, abledness, income- is considered The Norm.
So, an autistic person who already has felt different and othered their whole life, who has already been constantly questioning themself, is more likely to also question their sexuality and/or gender identity because they don't really have anything to lose and are already questioning anyway. Meanwhile, a neurotypical person with the same unaddressed feelings about their gender and/or sexuality is more likely not to address those feelings because they either think they're unremarkable or because they fear the repercussions of suddenly Not Being The Norm.
It's not that autistic brains are more wired to not be cishet, it's that autistic people, by being the Other, are just going to be more open to questioning their identity because their identity is already in question by everyone around them.
So, I'm a panromantic asexual, right? And that's a lot of syllables. I could use the short forms instead.
So, I'm a pan ace, right? And that's a lot easier to say, but it's not as cool as it could be. There's a word that already exists, though, that sounds kinda similar, and it works because of the aces and cake thing.
So, I propose this: I'm a pancake.

can I riff… this time it looks like dennis is slowly starting to accept himself in results of the situations he put himself into and this is objectively not good?

ok, now this just feels like
“can you pick an identity and stick with it?”
“No.”
I don’t hate it though.
^_^ i think you should just take ur time on finding you identity , i've been struggling on finding it and i reccomend reading from others experiences, and finding people who are also struggling with finding an identity. Right now , i identify as a lesbian , and Fictionkinnie Aoi Asahina ! But you don't have to be like the people you know , be yourself and express it however you'd like ! thank you for the ask , sorry if i misunderstood 🍩
