also about wungle text it's kinda breaking my tumblr for some reason? like when i have the extension enabled it opens all user pages in a new tab and pfps also stopped showing up at some point idk why
Huh that’s weird. The user pages thing happens to me as well but I can’t explain it, on the other hand the profile pictures not working is very weird.
Okay, I just replicated the pfps not loading
by throttling my internet speed to “good 2G”. It seems that this happens when wungle text adds the button before tumblr can finish doing its thing on the header of a post.
Ik this is probably the fifteenth time you’ve seen someone say this but we need more qprs in fandom space. Instead of shipping we’ll call it canoeing and we’ll make it just as popular. Please I need this ok
Apparently in China peach wood (Along with the rest of the plant) is believed to have properties that repel evil spirits, a little similar to silver in European legends or iron for both European fae and West Asian/Middle eastern Jinn. Taoists sometimes keep swords made of peach wood because of this. This made me realize something. If you took a peach wood stick, and attached studs to it of both silver and iron you’d end up with a club or staff (or mace, flail etc.) that would have the weaknesses of many kinds of supernatural creatures while still retaining effectiveness as a normal weapon (peach is a hardwood and silver’s poor edge retention doesn’t matter for studs). You could even keep adding new stud materials to get something ridiculous that affects over 120 catalogued folkloric monsters. Since you just need a few little studs you could even get some really expensive materials like meteoric iron (a thumb tip sized meteorite can still cost like 10-20 bucks I think). I could somewhat feasibly make a weapon that affects every monster ever thought to walk the earth, from vampires and werewolves to jinn and jiangshi and even mankind.

holding yourself to extremely high standards (if I’m not perfect at it, I’m a failure)
being incredibly sensitive to criticism (becoming suicidal if you think someone thinks you’re bad at something)
having a very brittle sense of self-worth that’s heavily reliant on what others think of you
What Narcissism is Not:
being uniquely abusive
having no morals
being a bad person
ETA: this is not an exhaustive list of NPD traits! more traits than these are necessary to have NPD! I chose these particular features to emphasize things that aren’t often talked about outside of dedicated NPD communities and to highlight the fact that NPD is a disorder based in the internalized fear that you are never good enough.
Okay bet, here’s a more comprehensive (if not exhaustive, because it’s nigh impossible to list every NPD experience) list of NPD traits. In addition to the above:
feeling slighted by “insufficient” praise for your achievements (even if the achievement is really basic, such as completing a load of laundry, or the person did praise you, they just didn’t praise you “enough”)
feeling like the only people who are good enough for you are others with NPD
being willing to betray your own moral code to avoid being emotionally vulnerable
prioritizing your own wellness above all others, to a harmful degree; being willing to actively cause harm to people you are close to and care about to protect yourself
having recurrent episodes of suicidality, depression, feeling inadequate, feeling unloved, or otherwise being severely and disproportionately upset in response to criticism or failure
having recurrent episodes of euphoria to an almost manic degree in response to successes or achievements
I’ve tried to make these as clear as possible, but if you’re confused about anything, instead of being like “well ☝️🤓 anyone could behave / feel that way” try asking me for examples of such a thing in an NPD vs. non-NPD kinda way
Not sure if I will ever manage to finish the lil Kallamar fic I had planned and started for months at this point. But I still wanna share the idea.
Basically, Kallamar was supposed to be a very sickish child. Would get sick easily, was very fragile and sensitive. His mom would take care of him and try to keep him safe.
At some point he would start hearing a voice, nobody else seemed to hear. Following it outside the borders of the village at some point…finding the blue crown, which would whisper so softly and welcoming, as to not scare the child.
Time forward, the crown would keep the squid healthy and he could also keep the people of his village safe…despite the crown wanting expansion, claiming to having the cure to all pestilence. As much as the cause of it.
The fic would end with people obviously dying from old age, Kallamar wanting the crown to help his mother but all it has to say is “That is no curse, nor sickness, young God, this is age and death which will come for all mortals eventually.”
Kallamar would stay at the dead and empty village for a while, till Shamura finds him.
Aka, I wanted to give a bit of more depth to Kallamars fear of death.
I’m going to save up for a new motorcycle by running a scam where I bet straight dudes at bars twenty bucks that I can get a girl’s number in under five minutes and then politely walk up her and say, “I just bet that asshole twenty bucks that I could get your number. I’ll split it with you if you pretend to laugh like I just said a good pick up line and then write a fake number on my hand.”
Like, I never understood those kind of bets in those shitty teen movies. Everybody loves being part of a scheme, man. Use your head.
If anyone ever does this to me I’ll call them out on being a con artist.
Joke’s on you, buddy. That’ll only have consequences the first, what, couple dozen times? I can take a punch.
But then eventually, I’ll have money for the bike, and whenever I get called out, I’ll just speed off, and, sure, maybe I crash and die in a gutter and the police can’t figure out why I have hundreds of fake phone numbers stuffed in my jacket and it launches a huge investigation that becomes sort of a local legend, but you know whose problem that is? Not fucking mine.
Because I’m a slutty motorcycle ghost, and who’s gonna’ stop me then? The ghost cops? Nice try. Everybody knows cops can’t become ghosts because they just go straight to hell. It’s basic math.
Moral of the story, don’t be a con artist or you will die in a horrible accident and become a lonely ghost.
First of all, don’t you ever accuse me of having morals, narrative or otherwise, ever again.
And second, where did I say I’d be lonely? I’d be a ghost on a motorcycle. That’s the sexiest thing that there is. You look me in the eyes and tell me you wouldn’t bone Ghostrider. Look me in the goddamn eyes.

Hey kids here’s a piece of actual for real experienced adult advice: don’t make songs you like your alarm. Ever. You’re gonna Pavlov yourself into hating it or sleep through it and have weird dreams. Don’t do that to yourself. Seriously.
I’m glad the notes on this post have turned around from people going “I am the exception I love music I will never die” but some of you have made some truly unhinged choices about what to set your alarm. Why was it the Seinfeld theme in the first place.
Your experiences are not universal but I wish they were. You’re adorable. I want your life.
knowing the above negative pavlov association, for a while i made the penn and teller’s Bullshit theme my message notification; it’s lively, cheery, but also conveys “agh what fresh hell is this..”
This flashed me back to university when I was hyperfixated on Penn and Teller for about two years
I really don’t like how piglins get portrayed as aggressive barbarian enemies now. Did they forget that they don’t attack without being provoked and you can have positive interactions with them in-game?
One of my favorite things on minecraft is that some mobs are friendly of you follow their rules or “culture”. If you wear gold you can trade with piglins and explore their place. If you wear a pumpkin or dont look in their eyes, you can live in the end, and no enderman will kill you. If you dont hit the iron golens or zombified pigmans, they will not hurt you. I hate when they take it away from the game.

Who the fuck is voting no and can you please give me your money? Sincerely someone who makes about $17,000 a year
Someone who makes $65k may not be “as poor” as someone who makes $17k a year but that doesn’t make them rich. You’re both still pretty damn poor.
They’re only making about $31 an hour. This is how much my mom makes as a nurse, an “essential worker.”
She has just enough money to pay her bills. She lives in a tiny, crappy house. Her car is ancient and falling apart. She doesn’t have enough money to pay for all the healthcare she needs, including $20,000 of dental work she can never afford.
When I lived with her and she was a single mom, we could never afford the doctor and could barely afford food sometimes.
She will never be able to retire.
How tf do you think that is rich?
Frankly, my mom is still poor.
Your enemy isn’t the person makes $65,000, or even some doctor or lawyer making $165,000. It’s the people making billions off of everyone else’s labor.
You can’t eat the rich if you think every single person making more money than you is rich.
A person making a large wage isn’t really rich but where I’m from a couple where both people earn that much would be as a household at the tipity top just under the 1%.
My family was always what people that like to divvy up the population into a bajillion classes would call “upper-middle class” and just one of this households members gaining such a wage would still be life-changing.
Still not actually rich, but that is a ton of money outside of the global north.
So, outside of political theory and the Internet, if someone said that they make that much, pretty much everyone in the room including myself would mentally mark them as rich. How are you supposed to get a wage that high if your family isn’t wealthy already?
youre not gonna be able to bully the minecraft movie directors into reanimating anything because unlike with the sonic movie clearly the people who made this movie lack any personal nostalgia for it and dont get it beyond “game my kids play” and therefore just decided to take a popular ip and throw popular actors at it and spit out a corporate slop script and designs because they dont care about the viewers beyond their ability to consume and they dont care about the consumers’ time unless it gives them money. to them we are pigs and this is the scraps mixed in a pail with mud and worms for us to gobble up and keep growing their coffers. its not made because they care and its not made to be cared about and i promise in like 2 years it’ll disappear off streaming services because they dont care about it enough to pay to keep it around and obviously nobody’s gonna rewatch it. honestly just dont watch it. not even out of spite. there’s better things out there that respect your time and your hard-earned money
I don’t actually think it will go this way.
It’s made by the person behind Napoleon Dynamite, and judging by the way the human characters act, I believe it’s going to be a satirical take.
Could still be a cash grab though, I’m just hoping it’s gonna be at least satirical and non-serious.
DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT RARE DID IS NOT-
DID is (approximately) as common as autism; 1-2% of the human population have it. That means every 100 people you meet, one or two of them are likely to be autistic, and one or two of them will likely have DID. This means that, statistically, you will meet up to 100 systems across your life (and that’s only the ones from DID!) And that’s just based off the average number of people you meet (10000); you will likely see significantly more!
DID is not rare, and even if you don’t have it, someone you know likely does.
They may even have an autistic friend that you can meet.
It’s such a good reminder that DID is way more common then people think. That learning about it is good because like people with other conditions it’s good to be prepared to be gentle with people from all walks of life.
I’ll add a few things I know from therapy and reading. Just a heads up, I talk only about traumagenic dissociative disorders because that’s what I know, that doesn’t mean I don’t acknowledge the existence of other forms of plurality and system origins, I’m just not able to talk about it.
According to my psychiatrist, who is not specialized in DID but in trauma disorders, DID/OSDD/pDID and other forms of traumagenic dissociative disorders are present in between 1 to 2% of the population.
It doesn’t need to stem from “extreme” trauma but from repeated trauma mostly, no matter the severity of it. Things as “mundane” as loneliness or emotional neglect can cause it because it is most and foremost a coping mechanism. If you are more enclined to dissociate to cope, you are more enclined to develop DID even from “mild” experiences. As shown in the book “The Body Keeps The Score” about PTSD, two people can experience the exact same traumatic event and one is going to dissociate to cope, while the other will not.
That’s why some people will go through extreme trauma and not develop any dissociative disorders, while some others will experience milder experiences and develop DID/OSDD. It’s kind of a matter of how your brain responds to things more than the events itselves.
Still, according to my psychiatrist, the issue with DID/OSDD, etc, is that it is WILDLY underdiagnosed. People love to say that “everybody has DID,” but in fact, psychiatrists are absolutely not trained to diagnose these disorders. My therapist told me that she had to educate herself and that she wouldn’t have even thought of doing it if she wasn’t specialized in trauma disorders. They don’t have any classes about it in school, or barely so, and most of them don’t have any tools to diagnose nor treat these disorders. So, the people who are the most likely to actually get diagnosed are the most severe cases who are going inpatient or are hospitalised because they can’t function as they are.
That doesn’t mean that a system that is functional is less valid than another that has to be in and out of treatment. It just means, like any other illness/disease, that severity is on a scale, dissociative disorders and trauma disorders are a spectrum, and it fluctuates.
We knew we were a system years even before we stumbled upon the online DID/OSDD community. Some other systems are not aware they are one until they get a diagnosis. It just depends. At the end of the day, all you really have to think about is being able to live your everyday life without it being a constant struggle. That’s what matters. But saying that DID is an “extremely rare disorder” caused only by “absolutely horrific extreme unfathomable traumas” is false and contributes to the underdiagnosis and, therefore, lack of care that people with these disorders face.
Random linguistic worldbuilding: A language with six sets of pronouns, which are set by one’s current state of existence. There’s a separate pronoun for people who are alive, people who are dead, and potential future people who are yet to be born, and the ambiguous ones of “may or may not be alive or aleady dead”, “may or may not have even been born yet”, and the ultimate general/ambiguous all-covering one that covers all ambiguous states.
The culture has a specific defined term for that tragic span of time when a widow keeps accidentally referring to their spouse with living pronouns. New parents-to-be dropping the happy surprise news of a pregnancy by referring to their future child with the “is yet to be born” pronoun instead of a more ambiguous one and waiting for the “wait what did you just say?” reactions.
Someone jokingly referring to themselves with the dead person pronouns just to highlight how horrible their current hangover is. A notorious aspiring ladies’ man who keeps trying to pursue women in their 20s despite of approaching middle age fails to notice the insult when someone asks him when he’s planning to get married, and uses the pronoun that implies that his ideal future bride may not even be born yet.
A mother whose young adult child just moved away from home for the first time, who continues to dramatically refer to their child with “may or may not be already dead” until the aforementioned child replies to her on facebook like “ma stop telling people I’m dead” and having her respond with “well how could I possibly know that when you don’t even write to us? >:,C”
@witchofanguish it is also used in poetry and plays, ghosts talk like that. Imagine being in a folk story, staying overnight in an abandoned cabin and in the middle of the night there’s a knock on the door and a bellowing voice going
LET ME IN.
and from the “me” alone you know that whoever is out there is not one among the living.

I think the above screenshots (taken from this post) are a great example of how transandrophobia functions: A combination of misogyny, anti-masculinity, and transphobia, intersecting in a way that specifically targets trans men & mascs.
Transphobia
It is transphobic to say that medically transitioning, or transness in itself, is a mental illness. If you believe someone’s trans identity is a mental illness in need of “treatment,” you are a transphobe. Particularly the first one, saying that the “wrong kind” of transness should be illegal. That is an incredibly horrific thing to say no matter what, and especially given the current political situation for trans people.
Misogyny
Trans men are men, but claiming or implying that trans men are inherently “hysterical,” “emotionally unstable,” or “insane” is still rooted in misogyny. There is a long history of women, or people who were thought to be women, being discriminated against through being labeled as hysterical. Even people who affirm that trans men are men may subconsciously hold these views about women, as well as people who were AFAB, and can reinforce this form of misogyny.
These comments, stating that trans men are mentally unwell and unstable, are using misogynistic ideas against trans men. In addition, people with BPD (which is often treated with mood stabilizers) in particular face misogynistic treatment from both mental health professionals and society in general. (You can read more about this here and here)
(Bonus: Ableism. These comments are also cruel to people with already stigmatized mental health conditions like BPD or bipolar disorder. And ableism often goes along with transandrophobia; for example, the panic over “confused autistic girls identifying as men.”)
Anti-masculinity
The basis for both of these comments, as well as the other comments in the post this was taken from, is the hatred of men- including, and especially, trans men. Both testosterone and manhood itself are demonized in these comments, as though being a man (on T) is a problem that, if “untreated” by mood stabilizers, will make trans men dangerous, abusive, and misogynistic.
Not only do these commenters hate men, they have a particular hatred for trans men. After all, the comments don’t say “men without mood stabilizers should be illegal,” it specifies trans men. It doesn’t say “Anyone with a testosterone dominant endocrine system, please go on mood stabilizers,” (or to be less transmisogynistic, “any man with a testosterone dominant endocrine system, please go on mood stabilizers”).
These people believe that all men are bad, but trans men are even worse. They believe that a trans man on T is more dangerous than a cis man with naturally high testosterone levels. The hatred of men affects all men, yes, but disproportionately affects marginalized men.
Transandrophobia
These statements aren’t just transphobic (“trans people, please go on mood stabilizers once you go on HRT”). These statements aren’t just misogynistic (“AFABs without mood stabilizers should be illegal”). They aren’t just anti-masculine, as they hate trans men more than cis men. These statements are a specific and unique combination of transphobia, misogyny, and anti-masculinity: That is to say, transandrophobia.
Obviously, these issues exist on a much larger scale than a couple of people being assholes on tiktok, and have very real, severe effects on trans men & mascs. But these comments were a good, clear example of the different aspects of transandrophobia and how they intersect.
