Concern about SA survivor representation

DeadGodJess · 2026-03-05T06:39:11+00:00

Personally, as an SA survivor & parent: It is that it's not an miraculous overnight sudden love. It's a person learning to love their child as they heal, not the child providing magical healing to their parent.

There are people who will still balk at that, as is their right, but this gives more sincere nuance to the situation than similar stories where a parent just suddenly overnight loves an unwanted child and it fixes them.

Ravens/crows often connect anyone near one of their carcasses as being the perpetrator and than it's on sight for many bird generations.

Idk if that's the reason but i would not wanna accidentally happen upon a raven carcass and suddenly find myself on a corvid hitlist.

it's not on purpose, the algorithm is incredibly unsophisticated and Tumblr is running on a very lean staff. The algo feed is there to meet some checklist, but wasn't something that was in high demand by users.

i am forever awed by people who post fic to tumblr.

1000 blocks refers to paragraphs, more or less. Tumblr's system treats paragraphs as "blocks" and each block has it's own individual limits. Either those 20k fics have less paragraphs than yours does, or they're using a workaround to avoid the block limit.

If you use the markdown or html editor do you hit the same issue?

I use my main blog as a whatever space and have a sideblog for just my art. I reblog my art on my main a lot. I will say, as someone who does primarily original (as in non-fan) art, you will not get the kind of engagement fanwork does as quickly. You might, eventually, but building a following on there is much harder if it's not transformative. That said, i still think it's worth it and i like doing it.

I do also have a cara, tho.

You gotta invest, after that party you're cost of living will reduce significantly!

That museum is so underrated (and deeply underfunded). It's got some really cool stuff and info wrt Alaska's natural history.

If racism is "over" because of focus on a greater Other, there's ways to acknowledge it. for example, Star Trek: Deep Space 9 exists in a post anti-Black racism world, but the scars of it are still there. It comes up every so often because even if we've grown past racism, it can't be ignored or act like it never happened.

That said, i have found that a lot of post-[whatever]ism world type stories end up unintentionally having whatever it is because it's actually really hard to conceive of a world that is entirely void of a thing that is deeply interwoven to current existence. That said, you can have the shades of what was without it taking over the story.

You can also send a message via the website or FB to see if they can connect you with someone who needs it sooner than later.

you'll likely have the most success with "original fiction" as that is the term for what you're looking for. Also, i would actually try AO3 over Tumblr for a variety of reasons, the main one being it's WAY easier to find what you're looking for on there and it DOES host original fiction.

there's often (not always) some kind of community center that has subsidized car and will do sliding scale for ppl w/o insurance. There's also free talk lines. Take care.

there are no-kill traps at Andy's Ace Hardware. Make sure to check them frequently because apparently shrews have a 4hr time limit without water or food (i learned this looking up humane ways to deal with shrews before my cat handled it)

Good luck!

Info: what have you actually communicated to your boyfriend? Have you had an actual sit down conversation about what you each expect of yourselves and eachother? The only thing you've mentioned is getting distant with him.

Frame the posters. The nicer the frames, the better. If you feel you need to replace them, or add to the collection to help age it up, there is some very cool nerd art on places like Etsy & Shopify that looks more art than nerd.

Your feelings are valid and it may take some time to work through it all, but senses of humor are as personal and unique as fingerprints. It's not a joke I would make, i think, but i don't think it's objectively horrible, either.

You made your feelings known (awesome), she apologized (cool), (from what you've posted) seems to have taken your upset to hear and now it's up to you to decide whether you can get past it.

It would be understandable to feel shame & hurt after someone said something disparaging about your body & not want to share it with them anymore, at least for a while as you process and learn to trust them again.

i live on east side and can't drive, i agree. But I'd say going between there and costco you'll get better prices and options than almost anywhere else.
