Only a month after Halloween (🥴) but we are not a costume, and shouldn’t be worn as such EVER.

hey, i heard that adhd medication causes anxiety. what's your experience with that? i have adhd and while not on a psychiatric level i experience anxiety too. so im a little skeptical about using meds...

I don't know, my personal experience with anxiety is of the "went so deep into the madness that I came out sane on the other side" sort. Instead of being scared of being in the wrong place and doing everything wrong, I accepted the assumption that I am always in the wrong place and doing everything wrong, but that it's everyone else's problem until someone has the balls to stop me.

If I'm sitting in a crowded room where everyone secretly hates me but nobody's brave enough to actually say it out loud, then I'm the most powerful person in the room. So either people don't hate me at all, or they fear confronting me about it. And that's their problem, not mine.

JOINTS IS PAIN

realized i never did an intro post on myself here hi

first things first here's my linktree

ok so uh my name is riku, some people call me ricky or roo for short. im 21 years old born on the summer solstice, Brazilian Japanese Romany, transmasc enby, demipan and partnered to a cis dude (emotionally intelligent black excellence tyvm), mentally disabled (ADHD, high functioning autism, cptsd, BPD, fragmented identity symptoms, etc etc), and physically disabled; my mother's family was a performing arts troupe in São Paulo and Registro and i had an accident that my leg didn't heal from correctly - that and spinal/hip injuries from my childhood have left me with a limp since i was seven years old. i walk with a cane now, as i may have mentioned in other posts.

im a full sail graduate, i majored in rhetoric composition/literary studies and minored in abnormal psychology, i'm planning to going back to get my journalism degree - right now i'm a TA for my old prof.'s rhet. comp. course and i also help grade papers for an elementary class, i have a CSR day job but i get it all done.

this next bit is gonna sound a little batshit bananas but roll with me here

there is a sort of alter ego or other consciousness in my brain named Onryoko who is a separate individual from me, as well as a spiritual entity that was said to be demonic in origin that takes up space in my psyche - It doesn't want me sharing It's name yet. my pronouns are i/he/they, Onryoko's pronouns are ele/elu/one/oneself, and It's pronouns are It/Itself - sometimes if one is more alert one will use we/us as pronouns as well. let me be clear - i do not have a dissociative identity disorder diagnosis, nor do i feel the need to get one as i interpret the two of them as manifestations of my higher consciousness and links to the spiritual world - i'm in control and i choose when i allow one or the other to be conscious with me, i don't black out or have amnesia or anything like that. if i am crossing any boundaries or anything or if u know of any communities on here i might relate to please let me know, this is simply how i was raised to deal with this.

Onryoko is whats called o receptáculo for the demonic entity that my grandmother (obatian) on my father's side clocked and neutralized when i was a baby cuz she serves cunt like that, and with that comes being a 3rd gen shaman - Onryoko essentially is our higher self? is how my obatian explained it. i found Chaos magick when i was 15 and the rest is kinda history. Onryoko has another blog dedicated to all that and we're working on content creation for spirituality and occultism; one does free tarot readings right now until i get our shops figured out, if ur interested in that kinda thing come meet us up here ----> @onryoko 🔮

other than that uhhhhhhh i main magik on marvel rivals (ps5 handle is onryoko963, rivals handle is ONRYOKO) im a Cancer sun Leo moon Cancer rising, andddddd i rlly like swimming cuz its the only exercise i can do where i dont die immediately. im very sarcastic and ive been told i have a very "fuck u" energy irl so idk if that will translate here. i dont mean to be mean and if u tell me im being mean i'll make sure im not asap :) ok thats it thanks byeee

Pardon me, but the words 'adult human female' being used to describe the term woman isn't transphobic, right? I'm new to the whole trans thing, saw some TERFS saying it, wanted to check with you because you're gay and trans and you've got lgbtq followers. No offense meant

It's not about the words themselves, individually, it's about how they're used. Going out of your way to say "adult human female" instead of just saying "woman" is weird, and someone going out of their way to say that is doing it as a dogwhistle, to let other terfs know that they're in the same little club.

It's not the words, but how they are used. Let's take the word "humanoid". It's a perfectly regular, neutral word for describing anything that appears human. It wouldn't be insulting to describe a human being as being humanoid. But if you find someone consistently saying "humanoid" instead of "person", you would want to check on which people they don't think are actually people.

Is a person transphobic is they think that men can't have vaginas and women can't have penises? I'm just curious to know

I mean this in the kindest of ways here friend but if you look up the definition of “transphobia” online you’re going to get much faster and much more eloquent results
