"If you had a disorder as serious as DID, we would notice."
You did notice, you just called it by a different name.
When you noticed us acting different, you called it
childish
standoffish
unpredictable
too sensitive
insensitive
dramatic
manipulative
intentionally being difficult
When you noticed our amnesia, you called it
irresponsible
flakey
forgetful
not listening
not trying
unreliable
lying
When you noticed us dissociating, you called it
spaciness
daydreaming
not paying attention
not caring
stonewalling
acting stupid on purpose
wasting time
being lazy
People love to say they care about people with mental illness, and then disbelieve anyone who has one because they've already passed judgement on them.

𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐲 𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐭𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢.
mother’s daughter: muse a has had a pretty rough childhood. when her mother was a teen, she got pregnant early with muse a and was tormented relentlessly. it made her snap and attempt to kill the girls who were making fun of her. in the end, she was apprehended and put in a mental health facility to live out the rest of her days. fast forward 20+ years and muse b is the child of the ‘final girl’. everyone thought that the baby had not been born, but muse a is out there, terrorizing muse b and their friends because of what happened to her mother. she could be hiding in plain sight, being friends with the group (and has been for years) or is a stranger.
bury a friend: after a freak accident, muse a and muse b accidentally kill their mutual friend. whether or not it’s an actual accident is up to you. muse a goes completely numb, and muse b is picking up the pieces, trying to figure out how to get away from the guilt. muse a ends up having a taste for killing, and muse b is left trying to clean up their messes so they don’t get caught. 
twisted teeth: muse a is part of a coven of prominent vampires, who don’t often associate with other beings… especially humans. however, muse a is a bit of a rebel and likes to blend in with humans as a bit of a game. but when they meet muse b, everything changes. there is a primal desire to bond in a way that muse a has never felt before. now muse a is trying to figure out how to come clean to muse b, all the while trying not to feed from them. 
maneater: two cannibals who fall in love, but neither of them know that they eat people and their taste seems to be for each other. think of mr. and mrs. smith, but instead of having a hit on each other… they’re just cannibals. 
writer in the dark: muse a is a wanderer, going from place to place and just living life with nothing holding them back. muse b is a beautiful recluse, potentially some sort of demon/witch, who lives in a cabin in the middle of the woods. muse a ends up stumbling upon this cabin, and ends up getting locked in there with muse b. there is no way out, so muse a begins to learn how to live with muse b and being their muse.
rhiannon: muse a is a historian studying the hauntings of an old ghost in a small town, and has moved into a cheap mansion on the hill. newcomers will be bewitched by the ghost’s song. muse b is the ghost in question, burned by a scorned lover so she wouldn’t say his secrets. the ghost was murdered in the mansion that muse a is living in, and only comes to life when a resident is there. muse a finds themselves bewitched by the song and voice of muse b, who has been materializing in front of them. except it seems that the two are falling in love in an unconventional way. 
bring me to life: muse a and muse b were newly weds when muse a died suddenly. muse b did everything they could to save them, and was greeted by a demon after a last ditch effort to bring their love back to life. they do a ritual, and end up beginning muse a back to life… except something is wrong. muse a has some sort of bloodlust, and muse b has to figure out how to satiate it as they navigate living new life.

“It’s such a lovely day for a picnic, isn’t it? A perfect day to feel the sun on your skin and the gentle breeze in your hair.” 
“Yes, Princess,” Mario agreed. He reached up and shyly removed his hat. He knew by now that Peach had been making a comment about the day just as much as she was granting him permission to be casual around her. Even so, Mario kept his hat in his hands. If for no other reason, holding it tightly was a way to attempt keeping the butterflies in his stomach at bay.
“I enjoy spending time with you, Mario,” Peach continued. “We should do things like this more often.” She gently draped her arms around the plumber’s shoulders and pressed a soft kiss into his hair. 
Mario felt his face and ears heat up. He let out a soft giggle aloud, but thought to himself that they definitely needed to do this kind of thing more often. In fact, they needed to do this all the time.

hey y’all. never did i think i would have to make one of these posts, but 2023 has proved to be more than crazy for me, so here i am.
Tumblr media
a few days ago i was notified by my uni’s bursar’s office that i would have to pay out of pocket a balance of $1,600~ by jan 20 for me to be able to register for classes for next semester. as a student on financial aid, i was shocked to see that my aid plan had not covered all of my expenses, which leads me to making this post.
i know most people come on here to just read and reblog, but as a creator, i’m asking for your support. and why not use a medium that people enjoy on here?
currently i have commissions open at five slots starting at $8, but there is also a donation goal for the amount pending on my kofi. again, you don’t have to purchase anything, but everything helps. i’ve gone through all of my options, and this is my last resort.
thank you for reading.
kofi / commission post / donation goal

Hey, everyone. Just want to give a heads up for anyone that didn't know or maybe forgot about it — If you live in the US, there will be a FEMA test conducted on October 4th at 2:20 pm ET.
FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) in accordance with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) will conduct a nationwide test of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA). You can read the full press release that was posted in August on the official FEMA website here, but here is the basic breakdown for you:
The nationwide test is to ensure emergency systems, which aim to alert the public of national-level emergencies, are still working properly. If there is severe weather or another significant event which prevents them from broadcasting the alert, it will be rescheduled for October 11th.
What does this mean for you?
If you are sound-sensitive, this is your warning that your phone is going to emit a loud sound (as well as any televisions and radios) and the alert itself will last about thirty minutes. They don't clarify whether it is the notification itself or the sound as well, so to be on the safe side, just prepare to hear it for that long. Set yourself a reminder if you need to, and it is highly recommended that you remove headphones/earbuds during this test.
Unfortunately, because this is a national security test, you cannot opt out, and if you turn your phone off, the alert will still go off once you turn your phone back on.
For more information on what to expect, please see the linked article at the beginning and feel free to spread this to let others in the US know what to expect on October 4th!

Carsonian's 2023 SteveTony Fics [Masterpost]
In 2023, I wrote a total of 244,222 words spread across 32 fics. That's uhh a lot.
Open the envelope below for a comprehensive fics recap.
[NO FICS IN JANUARY]
FEBRUARY
"No Return, No Return" | 18,231 words | T | 5 Feb
In many ways, Tony Stark has spent his whole life waiting to meet something real enough to test himself against. He hadn't planned on it being Steve Rogers. (A re-imagining of Steve and Tony pre-/post-Avengers (2012) with a spotlight on their relationship.)
"Who's Gonna Love You, Baby?" | 1,814 words | M | 13 Feb
"It's Valentine's Day today." Steve says, hand fanning out in a stilted, explanatory gesture to a storefront decorated with bouquets of red and pink flowers. A glossy "Happy Valentine's Day" is sprawled in an elegant font across the window. "...Yeah? Didn't you—" Tony looks Steve over, "Oh. You didn't know." (Steve forgets about Valentine's Day. Tony reassures him that there's still plenty of time to celebrate.)
"A Wish Your Heart Makes" | 2,041 words | M | 22 Feb
The absolute last thing Steve's expecting is Tony Stark, and so it's fairly in character for the man to be standing on the other side of the door. "Hi." Tony looks impatient, greeting barely out before he's walking past Steve and into the apartment. 
MARCH
"Fed Love From A Spoon" | 1,319 words | M | 4 Mar
Steve wakes up slowly. (Or, The accidental moments that move a relationship further, make its foundations stronger.)
"Since We've Been Together" | 1,788 words | T | 13 Mar
"Marry me." On his life, he couldn't tell how the words came out. Whether they were loving or demanding or whispered. He only knew that once they left his lips, the following breath came as easy as his first one right after receiving the serum. (Steve proposes to Tony, right after a battle.)
"Never Let You See (Baby, What You Mean To Me)" | 12,881 words | M | 15 Mar
Steve Rogers' life was the kind of romantic comedy that most people would find themselves cringing out of watching after the first twenty minutes. (A.K.A. the summer camp fic where Steve is a pining mess, Tony is an unrepentant brat, and there's a game of prison break to be won.)
"We Tell You, There's No Substitute!" | 2,911 words | T | 19 Mar
Steve pulled the door open. "I didn't know where else to go." Tony said brokenly. Steve promptly shut the door. 
[NO FICS IN APRIL & MAY]
JUNE
“Ain’t It A Shame, Too Bad?” | 4,505 words | G | 8 Jun
On his twenty-fourth birthday, Tony was saved from drowning by a man he has yet to find. In other news, Tony’s fallen hard for the mute, scrawny blond that washed up on his kingdom’s shoreline two-and-a-half days ago. These two things can’t possibly be related, can they? (Spoiler(s): They’re related.)

JULY
“Sees You The Same As Before” | 2,886 words | T | 3 Jul

“Be Their Own Star Witness” | 9,017 words | M | 14 Jul

“Transcendental Blues” | 1,177 words | G | 17 Jul
The best place to be after an argument with your partner is in the collapsed ruins of a building. Having said partner as your only company and being mortally wounded is an especial bonus. For the prompt fill: trapped together while one of them is injured
AUGUST
“I Can See Clearly Now The Blindfold’s Gone” | 3,577 Words | M | 1 Aug
“Then, without further ado, I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to the two of you for winning the all-expenses paid date.” “What?” Steve straightens. “Pass.” Tony says at the same moment.

But when Tony confesses that he’s got feelings for Thor, Steve’s surprised to find that instead of being relieved, he’s actually kind of… disappointed? For the prompt fill: accidental love confession and jealous Steve Rogers

I think what has always kept me staunchly on the side of “there is nothing supernatural in Petscop” is that anything that is actually supernatural is ultimately just a tool used to discuss abuse. Which is not to say that those supernatural elements cannot coexist as allegory and reality, but they don’t. There aren’t ghosts in Petscop. It’s not haunted. Or, well, it is haunted, but by the past. By its creator. By its players. By itself. Petscop is lines of code and a multiplayer system weaponized against defenseless children. The aspects of it that are hard to reconcile with reality are the metaphors for abuse—how do you use the reflection from a vase to traumatize a child? How does playing a melody on a piano fundamentally rewire somebody’s personality and psychology? These are the most fantastical aspects of Petscop, the moments where reality has to allow space to tell this story in whatever way this format can portray it. Were the children Marvin kidnapped playing Petscop at the school? Well, probably not. But that is the only lens we have into this world.
We first see Care NLM characteristically crying into her hands, but otherwise fine, and then Paul plucks the petals from a flower and suddenly Care NLM is blurry, scratched out, red. As though we’re seeing her through the reflection of the vase. The way Marvin sees her? Maybe. Paul is forced to retrace Marvin’s steps, after all. But, more importantly, we see Care the way Marvin left her. The way Care sees herself. The mirror in the bathroom is a nauseating green. Oftentimes children who have been sexually abused—as the “deflowering” scene and other moments in the series subtextually imply is happening—feel as though they’ve been dirtied, as though they’re “damaged goods.” The first thing we learn about Care NLM is that she believes, intrinsically and wholeheartedly, that “nobody will love her, not ever again.” Of course, being kidnapped and held hostage for six months, in horrific conditions, inside of an abandoned building, while your own father attempts to turn you into the memory of a girl who died long before you were ever born is, without a doubt, wildly traumatizing. But would it leave her believing that nobody would love her ever again? Those words specifically? We read them during the same section where Rainer talks about Marvin thinking about Care while he’s in the bath. The framing of this series has always been extremely intentional. And, when you’re clued into what you’re meant to be seeing, it is all extremely unsubtle.
The most supernatural event to take place in Petscop is the disappearance of Lina and the windmill. But even that feels like a fantastical allegory for the death of a young girl that Marvin blames himself for, and probably with good reason. What did you do?, Rainer asks, and it’s a good question. It’s worth noting that Marvin marries Lina’s sister. Out of guilt? Desperation? They were children when it all happened, but Marvin develops an obsession with Lina that lasts a lifetime, and that must have had a psychosexual angle to it—he married her sister, after all. For Marvin to believe that Lina was reborn in Care’s body. . . No child is safe within Marvin’s grasp. But Care was always particularly in danger.
It’s also worth noting that severe childhood sexual abuse is one of the most common reasons why a person might repress memories of their entire childhood, the way Paul seems to have so clearly done. Petscop isn’t a story about multiple timelines converging. The things that happen are all very linear. Hard to put together, especially since we don’t have all the answers and have to make quite a fair amount of educated conjecture, but still very linear. Rainer—with his survivor’s guilt, with his being too old to be in danger but too young to stop it all from happening—took the code for the video game he was making for his brother, and turned it into revenge against an abuser. It backfired, and Marvin began to use the game as another tool for abuse. By then, Rainer had killed himself, yet another plot in a graveyard.
When Paul tells Marvin his room, he starts spelling “da—” before being stopped. Nothing on screen moves for a painful several minutes. We don’t know what happened in that room. All we know is Marvin hurt Paul. And, looking at the previous ways in which Marvin hurt Care—hurt Paul—the silence and lack of movement in that scene, our inability to know what is happening in real life. . . It’s the most terrifying moment of the show. I’ve lost the thread a bit, but my point: Petscop is more based in reality than it originally seems, but it is first and foremost loyal to its medium, and it uses that medium to tell a story that is, at its thematic core, focused on the intersection between child sexual abuse and transness. When those two things click for you, the conclusion is inescapable. As it was for Paul.

Can I project for a second?
What if the reason that Iris acts rude at first is because she just thinks that's how social interactions are supposed to go?
Because that's how I was as a (autistic) kid - my classmates picked on me and were popular and well-liked, so at some point I figured that if I started picking on my classmates, then people would laugh along and begin to like me.
Safe to say, that did not happen and I learned better, lol.
But think about how Iris only had one friend from her hometown growing up, and how she struggled to fit in with her classmates because she was seen as a "troublemaker."
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
To be fair, the flashbacks only show other students politely refusing to play with her. But if I fill in the blanks with students whispering, snickering and making jabs at her when she "acted out" in class, then her early-series behavior - like calling Ash a little kid an excessive amount - starts to make more sense to me.
And although Ash bickers with her at times, his and Cilan's kindness proves to Iris that no, social interaction doesn't have to go like that, that it's okay for her to let her walls come down and be vulnerable!!
This is just a loose idea I have, so no worries if you don't agree! I just love how complex Iris's character is and I relate to a bunch of it. Whatever you think, there's way more depth to it all than her just being mean for the sake of it, and I wish more people appreciated that!
