Oh yeah, the social workers here often have the groceries sent to the facility. I do my own groceries, tho, because I'm like a strong, independent autist. 🤣

i do my own groceries with assistance
its basically nothing more than a familiar person to fall back on if i feel to overwhelmed and stuff like that
i do all my own cooking and 99% of the cleaning
like if it wasnt for the intense therapy im planning to see if i can handle as well as me going to a gender therapist of sorts?

Ayy, sweet! 😄 I bet that'd be really helpful.

like she basically helped me get a referral from the gp and now we're attempting to nail things down to make the gender team(the ones that do the actual diagnosing) be more confident in diagnosing me sooner
it would be, its just that school is a full time job level commitment and i also gotta worry abt being able to keep up living independently and not just fall apart
like the kind of therapy im looking at tends to require follow up therapy of some kind as well
so i gotta be sure abt it
plus i gotta get a new gp first since i moved cities anyway
so i have time to think

hi hi hi hiii i have a general question about gender & gender identity. here it goes:
So I'm a dude yea? But at the same time I am not really sure. I like my male body but I don't really feel any particular attachment to the concept of manhood / masculinity / maleness as a gendered concept. Like I am totally indifferent towards it. I just don't think that stuff is all that interesting or important to the me-that-is........but on the other hand, on very rare occasions I /do/ feel like FUCK YEAH I'm a dude! yea bro!!! but that's really rare and maybe i am just tricking myself to follow the tide, enjoying fitting in and playing / following a script. in general im just like.......MEH about being a guy. Like if I woke up tomorrow as a girl I would be actually kinda excited! And sad because I do still like my 'old' male body but I think it would be kinda fun to try out a new form and it might make my attraction to males a bit more palpable in society's eyes. In the end, I just feel like.....male.....female.......who cares as long as I catch mice? Or, as Orlando said: "Same person. No difference at all... just a different sex."
but I don't think my feelings about my gender identity (what an abstract, faroff flux thing!) are normal at all. thoughts?
/srs
valid solar
I feel exactly like that. I've felt a bit confused about gender since i was little but i never have been able to figure it out or necessarily felt discomfort. Recently i started using neopronouns and it has made me feel better, and I dont worry about the specifics of gender identity to much. If people call me cis or nonbinary it doesnt matter to me. But this is definitely normal
Gender confusion is especially common in neurodivergent people if that helps in some way. If you could find an lgbt friendly therapist that might be helpful, depending on you as a person and how you feel comfortable !
fading ember
its not like a HUGEEE deal in my life, its just like a little quirk i would say. like i dont fixate much on my gender, i consider it kinda trite at least in my own life 😛
wicked jungle
it's pretty normal, we're pretty fluid as people so it's ok if you feel more masculine or feminine at days or even dont feel that typically masculine as man or feminine as woman in general - feminine men exist and they are 100% valid, androgynous(i believe that's the correct term for neither male nor female? i'm a bit confused about terms still lmao) men exist and are totally valid as well - same goes to masculine and androgynous women.
if you however are feeling more comfortable for example being addressed as anything other than male (or reverse: you dont feel comfortable being addressed as man all the time) you might wanna check out if something under the gender-fluid or bi-gender (or even nb) umbrella speaks more to you.
since you feel comfortable in your body i just wanted to say that no gender identity forces you to "transform" to look more like your gender identity - some people feel the need to change some stuff, some dont, it's all about you being content with the way you are and the way others address you

A piece of quality TV from this year's drag race UK
D:
It is basically these two having a heart to heart
Ginny (the one on the right) opens up about not fitting into a gender box, and just that struggle, and Bimini (the one on the left) is out and happily non binary, and just comforts Ginny on this and otherwise saying you define yourself, it isn't for anyone else to say
But it is a wholesome piece of content, shame you international folks can't access
proper knot
Mmm
It's also btw why Ginny wears yellow
Not just because yellow is the colour of positivity, but because it is also the NB colour
proper knot
Will watch the vid and break it down so you know the beats
-tears as Ginny admits to Sister Sister, another queen who she is paired up with on the challenge, not knowing for years if they identified as he or she
-Yellow became their way and their colour as it didn't define a gender.
-Mentioning the discomfort of being in their body in confessional, drag was their release
(more to come, just giving you something to read)
-that dichotomy of having more success as a woman (as a drag queen) than in their daily life as a man, and them releasing that they aren't male or female
-Ginny moving on to mention when she discovered NB, and felt instantly that that is who they were, and she was found, but going on that road of self love was the longest and hardest they've had, and they still struggling to go through that, sister offering comfort saying that they should love themselves (Ginny is a bit of a UK drag icon, very witty and dry comedy, as well as just a bit of a goofball)
-Bimini hearing the heart to heart, reaches out as she does her costume work, to see if Ginny is ok, Ginny holds a brave face, as they begin their heart to heart
-Bimini freely admits it is a hard conversation to have, especially with those that just don't get it.
-Bimini, in confessional, gives us the lessons we need, that it isn't new, it is just a new word for something that has existed forever, and gives the basic version of it (someone who doesn't feel masculine or feminine, instead somewhere floating between)
-Bimini saying the binary doesn't make sense, given the sheer number and complexity of humanity
-Ginny talks about how it was hard, as she never had that support, coming from a lower income (working class) family, if someone was outside the norm, they were just a freak, "me and my siblings survived, we never lived", felt they were ugly and stupid while growing up, which made their drag persona a joke on that, playing it up for comedy, but they never had a chance to explore outside that bubble life out them in
-Having their own space liberated them, and allowed them to accept and begin the road to loving themselves, finding that escape that they needed.
-Bimini assures Ginny that they, and everyone is still and always trying to find out themselves, that Ginny isn't not alone in this self-discovery
-They (Bimini) admits it is a struggle and fight, like square legs in a circluar hole, but goes on to say about it isn't up to anyone to say or define how you identify, or debate with you on that. You know you best. They then hug and lots of good feelings had as they share this moment
@wicked jungle
Finished

thank you so much 💙

No worries 💜

Androgynous is for those who appear neither male nor female. It tends to be a style rather than anything else.

In a few cases, perhaps, but their are people who are naturally androgynous
wicked jungle
yeah i didnt know which other word would be apropriate, i only fount "neutral" which somehow sounds worse
dry swift
¯_(ツ)_/¯
humble tusk
gender non-conforming could probably encapsulate androgyny/gender-neutrality and appearing as the "opposite gender" (ew gender binary)
proper knot
Idk if it could include the former (androgyny), agreed it covers the second
dry swift
It falls in the 'between' of the binary, which is something that doesn't fit everyone.
wicked jungle
opposite o.o
idk about "between" since it can also be outside of male and female but idk, words are hard
dry swift
No, androgynous specifically refers to 'between' - partly male and partly female in appearance.
wicked jungle
androgynous yes, i was looking for neither male nor female, i failed, now i am confused
dry swift
Then non-conforming, nonbinary or agender works, yeah

When did pirates allow gay marriage?
heavy heron
Packing for trips is a nightmare because I want to have 4 different types of outfit, a push-up bra, a light-level binder, a sports bra...
Frilly things and also some boxers 🤷
dry swift
*When did pirates allow gay marriage?*
Pirates were literally nothing like other societies at the time. They could:
- Marry other men (it wasn't always for emotional reasons, sometimes it was an actual Friendship Marriage and others they were genuinely in love)
- Elect their own leaders, and depose them if they weren't fit for the role (unlike in the navy, where you became an officer based on who your parents were)
- Get fair pay - on a pirate ship, the average sailor would get one share, the officers like the doctor, the master gunner, the quartermaster would get 1.25 or 2 shares, the captain would get 1.5 or 3 shares, etc. In contrast to the navies, where anything found in terms of loot would go to the captain and the captain alone.
- Get compensated for their injuries at sea
And many other things
Actually, let me just-

dry swift
But also, like... it's under the same view of 'This man never married, but he did adopt and raise several children alongside his best friend.'
blissful granite
Marriage for convenience and property and wealth established while at sea seems more like an arrangement of finances. But then again, marriage was rarely about love in our overarching history as a human race. The securing of property was why arranged marriages were so commonplace.

Russia, as a government (not necessarily its citizens so long as they resist), has been quite evil to lgbtq+ folk in general.
People are captured late at night, thrown into concentration camps, died, and one barely escaped to tell the tale.
The United Nations should have declared war on Russia for this disgusting act. This is some Nazi/Hitler level of hate and torture and murder. But we're several years later, and the worst anyone has done is withdrawn some money out of banks.

yeah idk why but i forgot about trans rights also not being treated like common sense for now still. was a nice second tho - to think that everywhere trans people had the chance to be themselves
blissful granite
yeah idk why but i forgot about trans rights also not being treated like common ...
I wish I could tell you that could be the case one day. But transphobia exists in most first-world countries. Gay/lesbian/bi/pan/LGBTQQ2SIA+ still fights for rights. Racism exists in practically every country (and always has, but it's been brought to light even more). Religious warfare still dominates the Middle East after 2000+ years.
I'm not sure what part of the human condition teaches people to hate each other. Even worse, to tell someone else how to live and invade their own life.
Still, that doesn't mean we can't change ourselves, our household, our community, and our governing systems to make your dream a reality.
wicked jungle
The United Nations should have declared war on Russia for this disgusting act. ...
do you really think russia needs the UN? they got acres and acres of land, gold, oil, patriotic lads, russia has only been conquered twice in its entire history of being probed by khan, the ottoman empire, napoleon, japan, sweden, napoleon and less fun moustache model of the third reich. they dont need you, they dont care for your judgement and will not change.
not at least until the current ranks of ministers have left the parliament and people who were around for the extremely loud and common homophobic and racist USSR propaganda, and the less extremely loud n proud but still very loud anti-lgbt & anti-equality of the following years until now - and until probably forever - have died off.
europe still needs russia for their cheap(er) oil and electricity - the only other big enough country would be murica but it costs like 2x more, and i aint even counting the additional costs of maintaining it.
money still rules the world.
as someone who lived with very russian parents in a european country further from russia: those roots of hate wont just die off, they wont as simply let go - just because there are people that like me got lucky to educate themselves, doesnt mean there arent other first and even second generation of people born of russian descent in different more inclusive countries believing in their hateful values.
if you take america as an example: america had decades - even way more than a century if google is right - to start being ok with the thoughts that "racism bad; POC = People"
russia didnt even have a single year to abandon the discriminating attitude. and people from outside wont help them come along into the inclusion circle, they are too closed off and separated from the world to care.
you can only change the mind of somebody who is willing to be educated (hence why people still believe in discrimination, flat earth, super straight-ism etc)
I hope i didnt go overboard with this message or hurt the "First and foremost, this is a welcoming space for everyone, but is not an education or debate channel."
if i did - i'll yeet-leet it all immediately.
but it's still nice that places of equality and warmth exist
hope i'll get to see the day where everybody can live their own comfort as who they are, love and want to be - but if i also just have the ability of bettering the space for the generations to come - so be it
my adoration and respect goes out to all of you

Y'all, can we stop treating the lgbtq chat like a queer-general? we've got channels for specific subjects to help keep things organized and not alienate people out of chats. I love that you are enjoying chatting and stuff, but if we're discussing the merits of streaming platforms, etc. that belongs in #🎬movies-shows
iron escarp
i mean it being lgbtq isnt the focus of the discussion anymore
pure oxide
Yep, that's fine by me, but yes, the discussion focused moved on, so the chat needs to as well, or maybe taken to DMs. ❤️

> The first season premiered on September 14, 2018. Two more seasons have since ...
WAIT WE'RE GETTING 7?
wicked jungle
apparently yep xD
thorn sail
wait so what is this chat for?
brazen willow
o wait sorry shlee my discord was scrolled up and didnt notice your message
wicked jungle
but yeah if anybody gets their hands on stardust: cry with me about captain shakespeare plz
pure oxide
discussion of LGBT-centric stuff. issues, news, media that is LGBT-related, etc. It's not just... "we're queer and having a normal conversation", it's meant to be a safe space to discuss LGBT issues
and a place for people to feel comfortable and safe when broaching those subjects
thorn sail
ohhh okay, ty Shlee ❤️
wicked jungle
maybe spoilerage: ||he's a genderqueer/gay/bi??? icon and his pirate crew are the best i may be crying still||
i always forget how wonderfully inclusive neil gaimans shows come out
wicked jungle
like good omens? knock me out bro
iron escarp
holdon how did i not know abt it
wicked jungle
xD
iron escarp
where do i get my hands on it
thorn sail
stardust is super good
wicked jungle

wicked jungle
idk about other countries tho :c
thorn sail

wicked jungle

thorn sail
forceful transfiguration, dehumanisation, etc
thorn sail
I never forgot loool
dark patio
I highly recommend the book
wicked jungle
yes!
dark patio
It’s so good and the movie doesn’t cover everything BUT the movie gives us the pirates
MUCH MORE pirates
wicked jungle
best pirates ;w;
dark patio
They don’t have nearly as much time in the book
OH WAIT WE DIDNT MOVE TO THE MOVIE CHAT
iron escarp
i really cant pick up another book rn xd
thorn sail

wicked jungle
OH WAIT WE DIDNT MOVE TO THE MOVIE CHAT
i mean, the pirates be kinda gay tho ;)
dark patio
I’m derailing I thought we had moved I didn’t see we were still here
dark patio
Yeah we should lol
iron escarp
i dont even know where i'd get audio books of something like that
wicked jungle
and we can follow up the talk with superwholock which got forgotten last time
wicked jungle
i dont even know where i'd get audio books of something like that
probably audible or one of those really good audio ook sites with free audio books? but more about it probably in #📚books ?
iron escarp
superwholock? dont mind me just remembering like forever ago tumblr and cringing at it

I came across Harvest Moon The Tale of Two Towns among my 3DS games that my friend let me borrow years ago (indefinitely). I thought “I could play this farming sim while I wait for Coral Island.” I looked up the dateable guys and saw that you had to be a female character to date the men. Nope, never mind. Coral Island set the bar too high for me to settle with that restriction.
pearl sleet
gross
wicked jungle
that's really sad, i believe i wont be able to play SDV any longer either since maboi alex always has to mention the fact that i am either male or female in every breath he takes
all those old games where you're either male or female, straight or straight will be just yeah no
also can you even mod console games for like 3ds n stuff?
for like lgbt mods?
cause maybe the old pc versions of harvest moon have those
or sdv
pearl sleet
alex turns gay ||if ur male and dating him||
wicked jungle
but you dont turn nb like ever
wicked jungle
that's what i meant
wicked jungle
name-name or discord nick?
pearl sleet
name name
i was going to change my irl name to Jack
and idk
i feel like im obligated to have a gender neutral name
wicked jungle
nope
pearl sleet
wicked jungle
wait f'ck i had a post for that here
pearl sleet
show
rose ice
Not at all, I'm nb, my irl name is decidedly female sounding and I dont plan on changing it cause changing your name is a paaaain
wicked jungle
this will do for this second, i need to look through 5gb of nb appreciation posts brb
dark patio
use a name you like
hell, i'm a guy and my name is now the same as a disney princess
just choose what makes you comfortable and happy
wicked jungle
exactly
you dont need to conform to the majority or of "what is expected of you"
my first chosen name is the male equivalent of my female dead-name
rose ice
^ I change my online name back and forth from Digi and Kats depending on how I'm feeling
i dont even know what i want
wicked jungle
then dont rush
your comfort doesnt come faster or slower if you force yourself to decide in a moment where you're pretty indecisive
rose ice
That's okay too! I'm still deciding on Digi myself but I go by it still, you can always "try on" a name! Ask people to call you that for awhile and see if you like it!
wicked jungle
if you're always indecisive: you still came closer to your own identity with saying you identify as nb, or with saying you like Lily the most out of out huge raster of CI lovelies
cut yourself some slack, you are better at this than you think
pearl sleet
I would argue but that would be being pedantic and I have had enough of that in my life lol
I will concede this
Thanks
A lot
All of you
pearl sleet
hugs are always welcome no matter my emotional mood
wicked jungle
will still always ask for consent
rose ice
hugs!!
merry prism
I'm late to the conversation but I'll definitely join in the hug party if you'll have me 
wicked jungle
~~I'm late to the conversation but I'll definitely join in the hug party if you'...
all are welcome
rose ice
Hug party!
wicked jungle
this hug party never ends, we rise at dawn and continue doing so through all timezones
pearl sleet
i might try on a name
idk
my friends have known me as jack for so long
id hate to put them through that
and then it might not stay
wicked jungle
you're welcome to do so at any time here for first tryouts
i believe nobody here would mind at all
merry prism
Discord is a great place to try out names
wicked jungle
Hug party!
pearl sleet
yall are so nice its incredible
wicked jungle
kudos to the devs to making a game taht attracts nice people, eh? xd
if this were an among us server this channel would be cursed

This is a really nice community for sure from what I've seen

dark patio
Please don’t.
wicked jungle
that shoudve been the reaction to the story lmao
dark patio
It may not be for you but that is kink territory for some people and not something that should be gone into in a pg server because of that.
It’s not a misconception that needs to be aired and cleared up in a pg server.
wicked jungle
just explain it to people who perhaps dm you about it then
the server is pretty weird about its pg rules sometimes but it's aight for now
we all understood you
thorn sail
Just wanna say, a few friends explained to me that being asexual makes me count as lgbt. Its weird thinking I have a group I belong to? Jdjdjd
humble tusk
welcome!
thorn sail
Ty 🥰❤
wicked jungle
welcome
zealous glade
welcomeeee !! <3
thorn sail
I'm looking forward to chatting but I am hella awkward haaaa
And well, being aromantic too I'm not good at most orientation related daydreams
wicked jungle
hey it's ok, just know you're most welcome here
thorn sail
Ty 💕💕
wicked jungle
even before you found out that you are part of the lgbt
thorn sail
Jdjjdd you're so sweet 🥺😭
thorn sail
Yeah, but in general a lot of people find my lack of orientation uncomfortable haaa
thorn sail
🤣🤣🤣
zealous glade
im ace biromantic :D so yea !
humble tusk
you're doing great 
dark patio
Ace isn’t a lack of orientation, it’s a perfectly valid orientation all on its own ❤️
wicked jungle
yeah i just know how you feel rafabae so it's really overwhelmingly relateable
humble tusk
my sexuality is honestly just 
zealous glade
sometimes i think ive figured it out and then i go hmm.
thorn sail
Loooool
wicked jungle
ikr
every day john cena just rips a hole into my composion and asks if i'm sure about that
thorn sail
All I know is I spent my years of ages 16-now learning to find men attractive so I could croon over them with friends 🤷♀️🤣
He's a bae
wicked jungle
hmm and whom of our ci cast do you find platonically compatible with you then, if that's something you're more comfy with?
one day i wanna be this confident
thorn sail
I am all for Rafael cause he seems like he gives good hugs tbh lmaoo
But I love all of them
wicked jungle
hehe, i think david got the same idea
since he likes drawing him hugging someone so much ;w;
or chickens
brazen willow
Idk who I’ll go for I tend to go for the classic cryptid option
thorn sail
What does cryptid mean?
wicked jungle
that's what we have 99million savefiles for
cryptid according to google: an animal whose existence or survival is disputed or unsubstantiated, such as the yeti.
giants o.o
brazen willow
Cryptids are creatures like bigfoot, the Loch Ness monster, mothman, a chupachubra (I think I spelt that right) the example from stardew would be krobus
wicked jungle
i just see chupachups
zealous glade
gotcha gotcha
wicked jungle
thorn sail
Like the harvest goddess!
It's pretty awesome you can roomie with Krobus now too haha
brazen willow
So maybe a mermaid if there’s a mermaid option?
zealous glade
I was actually gonna get krobus to move in in my most developed sdv world but then I made the decision to marry my friend-
brazen willow
And is one a merlady or merenby?
wicked jungle
everybody is putting their money on denali and agung who we already got to meet but hmmmmmmmm
that we dont know yet
brazen willow
Okie
wicked jungle
maybe they'll ad a merperson next to mermaid and merman
thorn sail
I think there will be 5? Or just 2? I don't remember
wicked jungle
since so many wished for a nb townie dateable
zealous glade
mhm
wicked jungle
2 merfolk dateable only :c
brazen willow
That’s still 2!
wicked jungle
but maybe there is hope? just gotta flood the suggestions channel with "nb dating plz "
respectfully ofc
wicked jungle
4 actually :o
we only know the 1st one's appearance
name, gender, dateable status all unknown 👀
the devs like their [redacteds] 👀
also, potentially a very stupid question but
since we potentially can only romance all the dateables after forming a friendship with them are they all demi?????
zealous glade
ive never thought abt that-
wicked jungle
i mean they are bi/pan, cause they are ok with us being male female or nb
but demi and bi/pan?
UH LADS
PUT THAT RAINBOW FLAG UP HIGH
merry sparrow
Just to point out WHY this server has rules about being PG:
A lot of us may be adults, but we DO have several members who are underage. That's why we don't talk about things like kinks, etc, or anything overtly sexual.
Please do not DM or solicit DMs from other members of this server regarding anything of an adult nature, and definitely do not assume that anyone you're talking to is of the same age as you.
Regardless of your personal beliefs about how mature you or anyone else is, this is for the safety of those of our members here who are underaged.
I would ask that anyone who receives a DM or sees someone soliciting DMs of this nature to report them to the mod team so they can be dealt with. We're a community and we need to take care of our own, especially our younger members.

also, potentially a very stupid question but
since we potentially can only roman...
I think it works this way in all similar games? Like stardew valley, my time at portia etc. But it's a cool thought! It would be nice if you could just ask somebody out first time you meet them, and maybe some dateables will accept and some will be uncomfortable and wanting to become friends first?
charred needle
sup my fellow gays how it be today
pure oxide
the server is pretty weird about its pg rules sometimes but it's aight for now <...
It's really not. We are lenient with cursing, but we as mods have made it EXTREMELY clear that all other topics remain PG. And I will remind everyone that there are minors in this server chatting with adults here. Anything that could be considered sexual in nature is off-limits. Period.
I don't know how many times I have to have this discussion or remind people of this. But the possibility for grooming, pedophilia, etc. is extremely high when minors and adults think it is okay to discuss mature topics such as sex with one another.
No innuendo. No kink talk. PG. Period. And if we can't keep to these rules, I'm gong to start issuing official warnings and bans.
charred needle
im a broom

I adore this artist!!!
charred needle
wicked jungle
I think it works this way in all similar games? Like stardew valley, my time at ...
yeah exactly! it's probably easier to code it in a way that all relationships are first friendly then romantic? it's probably also fairer?
similarly to how none of the dateables have their own gender preference that they can shut you down for? idk if that one actually makes sense tho
but it was still a nice overthought thought
wicked jungle
that's so cute ;-;
honestly allies are under-appreciated
but yeah how are you today
charred needle
but yeah how are you today <:goatlove2:795962347499814912>
sorry i didnt see this 
im doing well
you?
charred needle
this so much!!! im nb but sometimes i just like being girly you know
charred needle
my two moods are girly girl and my pfp which is a picrew i made yesterday
im super happy with it
wicked jungle
also it'd be such a waste of rainbow eyeshadow palettes if i didnt feel feminine for a few moments D:
omg it's so cute!!!
charred needle
do you want tattoos in the future
charred needle
i definitely want tattoos on my arms and maybe legs
wicked jungle
:O
charred needle
absolutely not on my face though 
wicked jungle
more for aesthetics or with more meaning?
charred needle
what if i tattoo poggers on my knuckles
wicked jungle
oh hell no, no face tats up in here
except - but idk if that#s still considered face - behind the ear?
charred needle
thats not really face
i could consider some on my head just not on my face with my eyes and cheeks and stuff
wicked jungle
what if i tattoo poggers on my knuckles
go for it, your hands, your art
right! they are on the head omfg i'm so stupid i'm sorry
i forgot head is a word
charred needle
more for aesthetics or with more meaning?
both, i want something to represent my future transition and things to memorise important things in my life but also i want them to look really cute and cool
charred needle
nothing is set in stone
i want to be fully done with my transition (which will take a really long time as i havent even started on the process of legally being able to) since that would change my body structure
but sometimes i just like looking at tattoos
but i also want something unique
wicked jungle
same, have even made little collages of favorite tattoos that come close to what i'd like
charred needle
not just a heart with the trans colours
wicked jungle
understandable
wicked jungle
it's a beautiful flag
raven recently found nb flag stickers that have the colors in like feathers and as bird coat
those ideas are hella cute
charred needle
i really like birds, i wanna work with ornithology in the future
wicked jungle
that's cool :O
charred needle
so im definitely getting a bird with enby or trans colours
i dont want my entire chest and back to be filled with tattoos though
like just a sleeve or two
wicked jungle
yeah
and you are more in favor of colorful tats or just the flags colors?
most prefer black ink only (especially since colored ink apparently hurts so f'cking much)
charred needle
id like to have mainly black tats if theyre not pride colours so that the pride tats would stand out more
wicked jungle
oooh colored accent on the pride tats? neat
charred needle
and yeah tattoos hurting is scary cus im a wimp and
wicked jungle
isnt there a thing of like "beauty is pain"?
ahh i wish getting tattoos wasnt as hurtful
charred needle
yeah
wicked jungle
imagine if you could just draw on your skin and bam, it's there
charred needle
and also a music album by chelsea wolfe called pain is beauty
wicked jungle
if you dont like the design, just erase some
charred needle
have you heard of those like
wicked jungle
that's poetic af
charred needle
non-permanent tattoos
wicked jungle
yes
charred needle
im definitely having some of those to try out my tattoos before i actually get them
wicked jungle
i planned on getting some diy non-perm ink
charred needle
brb i gotta call my grandma
wicked jungle
most of the premade tats dont really have what i would consider having
ok, have fun
charred needle
most of the premade tats dont really have what i would consider having
with inkbox you can choose custom designs
i kinda want something like
mythological
charred needle
im fascinated by norse and greek mythology
i prefer norse mythology since i myself am norse
wicked jungle
hmmm
i am not very well educated on nordic mythology, tell me about it :o
i always wanted to get into nordic, irish and egyptian mythology but there is so little still avalaible of them ;-;
charred needle
as a whole?
wicked jungle
yes or just what you could imagine getting as tattoo from it
i know i definitively want mini greek god symbols for whose stories helped me through teenagehood
charred needle
if you wanna get into norse mythology i recommend the poetic edda, the viking spirit and norse mythology by neil gaiman
good books
wicked jungle
i havent heard of the viking spirit but i'll definitively check that one out too!
charred needle
i dont really know what id have
maybe something like a raven, i definitely want a raven
iron escarp
if you wanna get into norse mythology i recommend the poetic edda, the viking sp...
i havent heard of the viking spirit before, but i agree with the rest 100%
charred needle
probably mjölner as well
wicked jungle
a raven :o
iron escarp
oh you're talking abt tattoos as well
wicked jungle
the only mythology about ravens i know is... i believe a native american myth?
of the rainbow raven
oh no mb it was a rainbow crow
charred needle
huginn and muninn are two ravens and theyre odens homies
wicked jungle
The story of the Rainbow Crow is claimed to be a Lenape legend, symbolizing the value of selflessness and service. The Rainbow Crow, the most beautifully feathered bird, offers to make the arduous journey.
i remember thosee two ;w;
iron escarp
oh you're talking abt tattoos as well
i feel like here in europe its a little less great to get certain tattoos that would be considered norse in origin, simply because white supremacists use them to flag each other
charred needle
yeah 😩
iron escarp
its especially more bad outside of the norse countries as well, most likely
charred needle
like pls
wicked jungle
ugh seriously? they claimed those?
iron escarp
like they really did appropriate so many runes n shit
wicked jungle
wow that's disgusting
charred needle
im in finland rn but i think im gonna move to norway but its still like
jesus
on the topic let me show you some runes
iron escarp
like sowilo is one of my favourite runes and natzees really did say put them together into "the black sun" and use it for our own organisation ugh
charred needle
i literally dont understand their logic
norse mythology with the gay rights god, thor who is a femboy himbo and loki who is a genderfluid pan furry
pls
iron escarp
or like how most othala runes used in divination doesnt include its "legs" because it was used it a flag
iron escarp
norse mythology with the gay rights god, thor who is a femboy himbo and loki who...
YEAH LIKE i wouldnt really name thor a femboy simply out of respect
charred needle
this but me and white supremacist assholes
iron escarp
as well as how widespread the influence of the norsemen were, meaning they most likely also had poc/non white men practicing within their religion as well
iron escarp
this but me and white supremacist assholes
basically
wicked jungle
nords were awesome, it sucks so much that their culture got appropriated cause "ooh pretty"
iron escarp
like as somebody that studies history and mythology for fun the white supremacist narrative around celtic and norse old practices is >:(
charred needle
im norse i just wanna have fun with my ancestors religion and beliefs and then idiots come in here like "MaStUh RAcE"
iron escarp
i have both celtic and nordic ancestry, so im researching welsch and norse mythology and history
wicked jungle
and the erasure of alot of history through christianity, buddy why
i want to learn about irish folklore without adam and eve and noah mixed into the bunch ffs
iron escarp
it is quite hard to disconnect christianity from what we have left of nordic myth
same with a lot of the celtic stuff
and even history reseach has been and still is to a point incredibly biased
wicked jungle
yes, it sucks so much
iron escarp
this is clear from how a bunch of archeological finds were treated as well
wicked jungle
everything about russian folklore burned down because f'cking everyone wanted a piece of moscow and they burned it down like 6 times
maybe they were open to other nationalities and sexualities, but we wont ever know
iron escarp
i just saw a jewelry pendant that combined the black sun with the sowilo rune
like a mainstream thing
😰
like thats how you will get flagged as a natzee regardless of if you'd be or not
wicked jungle
of the aztec: they had a god of homosexuality and the fantastic spanish lads who found them just made that god the reason for why the azteks didnt survive, they were considered weak because they accepted gay relationships and trans rights
it's so disgusitng
iron escarp
yeah..
wicked jungle
"hey i really like this mythology" "racist?" "no, mytho-" "racist."
charred needle
on the topic of mythology
iron escarp
i mean i very much did a lot of research to make sure i wouldnt be flagged as a racist as somebody that engages with norse mythology
charred needle
can i show you guys a really cool thing
iron escarp
yes!
charred needle
as a positive thing
charred needle
mythical beasts of scandinavia and where they are

wicked jungle

charred needle
i thought it was really awsome
iron escarp
sandra i have a question, how do you feel about the translations of jackson crawford?
charred needle
not entirely sure of what youre talking about
wicked jungle
are the names under/next to some of them the names of the mythical beasts of the area of where they came from :o
iron escarp
he seems to have the proper credentials and seems to take a lot of care in his translations be accurate
charred needle
i tend to read the swedish books for norse and greek mythology as they tend to not translate the names of people in the stories
and also my vocabulary is a bit better in swedish
iron escarp
thats fair i guess haha
i just dont really have enough knowledge of any of the nordic languages to transliterate it
and even then i feel like translations done by people where its their job would be better anyways
wicked jungle
idk about you but i think it'S this cucumbersnatch guy
iron escarp
like i feel like a really big problem in doing any sort of mythology research is author bias
wicked jungle
sorry, 5sec stroke
charred needle
like i feel like a really big problem in doing any sort of mythology research is...
yep
iron escarp
oh wait i do know the viking spirit
or well ive heard of it
but multiple communities of people studying norse myth feel like he's a bit of a hack? and i honestly dont know how to feel abt it
like specifically saying that he doesnt actually have any credentials?

mythical beasts of scandinavia and where they are
SO I couldn't help but see this when I did open up this lovely chat, and I'll real quick fix some HUGE mistakes on there:
- Finland isn't part of Scandinavia at all, Scandinavia geografically and historically is the countries Denmark, Norway & Sweden, and only those 3, when we add Iceland and Finland as this map does we call it the Nordic Regions
- Werewolves, or as the map calls them Varulven are not from Scandinavia, they have their origins in Greek and Roman mythology
- Mermaids, or Havfru as the map calls them, are also not from Scandinavia, they first appeared in myths and tales around 1000 B.C in the area today known as Syria, but originates further back in Greek Mythology as Sirens which were half woman half bird
- a lot of the named ones on here such as Mosekonen, Pesta and Grýla are just witches, all three mighty famous in our mythology for the healing and things they did, but just witches.
- there is missing a lot of creatures if you look at the viking's mythology which is what the viking ships around this map seems to suggest it is so I'll list those here
- Midgaardsormen or Jörmungandr as he is knows, the world serpent
- Fenrisulven, Fenrir, also known as Hrodvitner and Vánagandr, the giant wolf of the north
- Rok, giant birds of destruction that lived along the mountain sides where Fjords lead out into sea, never afraid to take down a ship or two
