i feel like alot of ppl (even in system communities) treat alters/parts like they're fictional characters. like i know its common knowledge in system spaces that you shouldnt treat alters like theyre just silly characters & that introjects aren't their source, but not many people actually put that into action.
the whole name discourse for example— if someone's parents named them something that is from another culture, or a name that is a trigger for you, you wouldn't tell them to change their name because thats rude, & they cant just. change their name if they dont want to just because you told them to. but for some reason if an alter in a system formed with that name and identifies with it, its okay to force them to change a part of their identity for you as if theyre not a person????
yeah. I really don't like how people treat alters, with the whole "oh just make them do it" or "make them stop doing that" as If they aren't their own conscious identities. They aren't characters, treat them similar to how you would treat a singlet. If you wouldn't tell a singlet to change their name, don't tell a alter to do it.

I would like to preface this by saying I am not a pro shipper.
Being a pro shipper is not about pedophilia and incest. For many people, it truly is a coping mechanism following pasts of severe trauma. Who are you to tell these people how to live, consume media, and act on the internet? Are you a psychologist? Or do you just have the brain of a 12 year old that makes you throw a tantrum whenever you see people doing something that you can’t comprehend the reasons behind?
If you believe yourself to be in the right, I would actually love to receive any research that supports your thinking. News articles or anything like the Jaws and Lolita effect are not good enough. If you really care about these things and proving me wrong, go out and find a research paper written by someone with a PhD in a social science and send it my way.
// nasty things mentioned
I wasn't saying it isn't a valid way of coping
I was saying it isn't valid if you are actively posting it and shouting how goddam proud you are of the fact that you ship things that are pedophilic/incestual in nature, it does and can be used to enable literal pedophiles and other dangerous people, to pretend it won't or can't means you gotta pull your head out of your ass.
proshippers usually use the excuse that it is to cope as a justification for publically posting this sort of content, whether it is or isn't for that reason should not matter because if your sharing pedophilic/incestual/zoophilic content publically then it is STILL an issue, the reasons why doesn't matter.
also i dont care if your not a proshipper if you endorse people actively posting shit that is pedophilic/incestual/zoophilic in nature... that's still an issue, i don't give a shit what the reason is for why it is STILL bad to post it publically and shout how proud you are of it

TG: i thought about taking his sword
TG: when i was there
TG: but i couldnt
TG: couldnt really bring myself to try to pull it out it was too weird
Even if you did, you’d have to break it in order to wield it - and unlike your regenerating sword, I don't think Bro's katana will be very effective as a half-blade.
GG: dave we have to stop him!!!!!
TG: what
GG: jack! […]
GG: why dont you stop jumping around through time like a maniac and stop being like a hundred daves all the time and come to my house so we can make a plan to kill him??
I’m liking this new, more pro-active Jade. With Rose distracted by Doc Scratch's games, we probably need a new leader, and I think Jade could fit the bill.
However, I don’t think any number of Daves would be enough to take Jack down. That’s exactly what Aradia tried, and we all know how that turned out. If a thousand telekinetic necromancers can't put a scratch on him, I don't think Dave will fare much better.
TG: besides we cant beat him
TG: look what he did to bro and davesprite together
TG: im at the top of my echeladder with all the fraymotifs and i stand no chance
Dave’s already stronger than Future Dave was when he came back to the past. His progress is astounding - but the session's power creep has got so bad that it doesn’t even matter.
Like - let's imagine, for a second, that all four kids attacked Jack with their full power, right now. If they all synergized perfectly, taking full advantage of John's hurricanes, Rose's Horrorterror connections, and all the time duplicates Dave can make....
They'd still be reduced to a fine mist.
Jack has inherited a power strong enough to raze the entire Earth, and none of the kids can touch him. Becsprite initially seemed like an opportunity to match that power, Sun-to-Sun, but Vriska, for her own godforsaken reasons, nixed that plan.
The kids have got nothing. Even their plan to cheat by destroying the Green Sun is probably hopeless, because we know it ultimately serves Doc Scratch's ends, not ours. Things are really dire.
TG: only thing we can do is hold out until the scratch
GG: what is the scratch?
TG: guess i shouldnt really say
TG: since you sort of lead the way in making that plan
And then there's the Scratch plan itself, which is apparently Jade's idea - although I'd be extremely surprised if Doc's grubby little fingers weren't all over this one, too.
Opening rifts in space is certainly Jade's department, so I think she's going to suggest it as a counter-plan to Rose's more risky Sun strategy.
TG: if we cant beat him
TG: all we can really do is exile him to a place where he cant teleport back
TG: which hopefully buys us some time
TG: to try to take out his power source in a crazy suicide mission
A two-pronged approach, then. They trigger the Scratch, push Jack through a rift, and then send Rose's dream self out to destroy the sun before he's able to return.
...man, this is such a dangerous idea. Even if it wasn't being influenced by Doc, it'd still set off some huge alarm bells.
Like - sure, destroying the Green Sun might help this session survive, but what about every other session? Don't they need the Sun, to power their non-corrupted First Guardians? I just think we should maybe think for a second before deleting a critical piece of the reproductive mechanism for the entire multiverse.

Hey not the prev anon but I think I know what they're getting at: they might not be able to do anything to financially assist and Tumblr is often a safe space for people to escape from reality. It can be distressing seeing posts of genocide on your dash regularly when it's already everywhere else. Not wanting to engage with it on Tumblr doesn't mean they don't want to or don't engage with it elsewhere outside of Tumblr. Plus there are people's triggers to consider. Unfollowing is an option, but it's a shame to need to do that.
no im perfectly aware, yeah, and this is said as someone with pretty bad ocd. i just think the fact that people are asking for help right now isnt a reality thats possible to escape until the world itself changes. we should all be trying to look for opportunities to make a difference even if we cant presently take them. you dont have to doomscroll, you dont have to watch upsetting videos, and if theres really nothing you can materially do to help that thats that and you shouldnt blame yourself, especially if you or family or friends are being directly affected, but i have this platform and im using it to do whatever i can and if the existence of donation posts is too much, then social media may not be your best choice of escapism. its actually one of the worse choices of escapism in my experience. make your own anagrams

Hey~
I was wondering if you'd be able to write how xiker's members would react to y/n being insecure about being very chubby/ very slim (still healthy tho) to the point where y/n would want to change herself (but because she's insecure about how others see her and not because she really want's to) and how the boy's would comfort her, what they'd do etc.
You can choose whether you'd like to do it as a headcanon, imagine or anything else!
Thank you!💚🦊
WHEN YOU THINK YOU'RE OVERWEIGHT
• PAIRING — bf!xikers x gn reader (uses some she)
• GENRE — comfort, fluff, i dont think i implied the angst, comfort, comfort, comfort
• WORD COUNT — 758
• AUTHOR'S NOTE — i am so, so, so sorry about the long wait. True was, me and my team had no idea what to write 😭 but after looking up some coping skills, we got to writing. I just wanna say that you are beautiful just the way you are, fuck other people. And if you dont believe me, xikers certainly will ♡
MASTERLIST! – JOIN THE TAGLIST!
MINJAE ☆
Minjae could see on your phone various workout methods that guarantees losing lots of weight in 2 weeks or so
Was a little confused on why you were so interested in that so he decided to comfort you
It broke his heart when you kept calling yourself fat and chubby bc what?? No you arent
And since he knew the workout methods and supplements were a scam, he suggested that you worked out with him
Praises every little thing you do with a big hug and kiss ♡
JUNMIN ☆
Junmin felt a little chubby when he was growing up so he understood how you felt
After researching, he found that setting small goals really helps your mental being
So he decided to do just that
This week, you should at least eat a apple everyday
Next week, you would go for a 30 minute walk
Does everything with you so you dont have to feel alone ♡
SUMIN ☆
He'd be all ears
Hes kinda like minjae too; his baby?? Feeling fat???
But would still let you rant everything out without him interrupting
Wipes away your tears if you start crying
And when you're done, he would go on a rant about how beautiful you are, and even though you dont feel this way right now, you will feel this way in the future ♡
JINSIK ☆
As soon as you open up to him, hes gone
Then you hear a big crash
Throws away (stomps and slams) your bathroom scale
Along with anything else that triggers you
Then would go on a long rant about how you shouldnt compare yourself to others ♡
HYUNWOO ☆
You told him when you thought he was sleeping because it would be too hard telling him when hes awake
Immediately sits up when you fall asleep, his heart breaking as he rubs your back
And then bolts out of the bed
Spends the next 30 minutes placing sticky notes in random places for you to find, using affirmations like "youre so pretty" or "you are worth it"
And when you see it the next morning you almost break down, hyunwoo restating the note over and over ♡
JUNGHOON ☆
Junghoon feels like hes not good at using his words and would accidentally offend you
So he creates a playlist
You know those body worship songs like i love my body by hwasa or any meghan trainor song?
Hes got them all in one playlist for you to listen too
And he even sings along ♡
SEEUN ☆
Seeun knew you werent one for exercising, so why not some yunmy healthy food to eat?
He knows hes not the best at cooking but he will try
And if not he'd recruit another member
Wont force you to eat all the vegetables but once he does figure out what healthy foods you like to eat. Its over
For dessert, he would hand feed you some fresh fruits ♡
YUJUN ☆
"What, no you arent." Would be yujuns first words but he knows words dont matter actions do
So with lots of kisses, he would drag you to the bathroom
Makes up a self care plan for you to do everyday, teaching you to love your body just like how he loves you
Speaking of love, he looks at you with so much love in his eyes, you feel like melting
And if you let him, he would kiss every part of your body, and pressing extra ones in the places you feel insecure ♡
HUNTER ☆
We all know how hunter journals his emotions just when hes about to go to bed
And so he requests that you do the same
Writing down your feelings makes you feel more connected to yourself, and pinpoints how you started feeling this way
And just like yujun, if you let him, he would kiss all the places where you feel insecure
And cuddles you, whispering in your ear that you are so beautiful and you should not think of yourself that way. And even if you do, hunter would do everything in his power to change your mind ♡
YECHAN ☆
Yechan thought you were joking at first
But his smile immediately drops when he finds out that you werent
Yechan would spend the next few days talking about self acceptance. Making you talk out your feelings and acknowledge your abilities
Would give examples on how this relates to him too, like when he was younger, he thought his rap was terrible
But would reassure you that what youre feeling will not last forever, and that you will see some happier days ♡

the complete lack of action re: racism on Ao3 is so genuinely disheartening. it really seems like no one cares. people are actually defending it and insisting fans of color speaking about it is the "real problem" and not like ... racism. i hate it here.
I know people online often take one of those two sides (“ao3 doesn’t give a shit” and “ao3 SHOULDNT give a shit”), but— and I’m not speaking for the org, all this information is public— neither of those represent opinions held by the current leadership of the OTW.
In spring 2020, the board responded to open letters from fans of color, and there was an announcement of new features being worked on (blocking and muting) so that users could protect themselves against harassment, and from hurtful or racist works. The ability to turn off comments came a few months later, and the ability to freeze comment threads came in February ‘21. There was another update in April ‘21, and then a few weeks ago, the ability to block specific users from commenting on your works was rolled out. Muting (the ability to say “this person’s work is racist/triggering/simply not for me and I never ever want to see it”) is in progress, but there are ways you can do that now with site skins. The OTW is also looking to hire a diversity consultant.
As far as I know, all of this happened because of lobbying from fans of color, both inside and outside the org. These changes aren’t ever going to be enough for people who want racist works deleted— and I understand why people want that, but I hope they also understand that not only does it go against ao3’s mission statement, no volunteers are qualified to determine what is and is not racist worldwide.
Things happen slowly at ao3, for a number of reasons. But they do happen, and you can always check in on the news posts on the homepage if you want to see what’s going on.
