🥰 destroyer of worlds 💣 💜 i will evoke death
Okay name is changed (both @jacko and @jack-o were taken so hello to my fellow jackos).
Kept the shadow because, ya know what? It me.
So titaniumshadow -> jacko-shadow
I’ll use this tag going forward until I forget!! Also peep the changed bio 👀
*If you know me irl/online by a different name & pronoun set, you can still refer to me as those, I am not leaving them & and I am still perfectly comfortable with them. I am simply attempting to explore some things that have been synthesizing within the muck of my brain for a while now.
A small context note: I’ve actually gone by Jack/Jak/Jacky for a heckin while because it’s my favorite name (blame Jack Dawson and Jacky Faber, specifically), it’s just never been an outward kind of thing, only in small circumstances or with limited people off and on. But I want to be more consistent with these names for a bit to see how they feel.
Pronouns: again I am still comfortable as a cis woman using she/her but since gender is whack I also experience an Emotion™ when referred to as he/him. Idk what the emotion is exactly, but it’s a positive one I’d like to experience more. They/them doesn’t feel right for me, but ze/zir is intriguing, so I’d like to try it out.
I’m not “coming out” as anything (I already confuse people being a bi-attracted aro ace, I think my family would lose their minds if I tried to add the gender spectrum to that). And this is like a soft exploration, so things may change again (or remain the same). However, if people are comfortable referring to or thinking of me as nonbinary/genderfluid, I don’t mind, even tho I’m not 100% sure I fit those labels. I feel more like a chameleon/shapeshifter in that i can adapt and change based on situations (personality-wise) and my gender expression is much the same.
Goddammit it’s a long post again FUCK okay another post incoming explaining the Big Jack Energy™ in my description!!
We need less power-couples and more fail-couples. A pair that individually are disasters but together make everything even worse. Not in a toxic sense, they are just both so lacking in common sense that being together creates a shenanigans feedback-loop. They will become everyone's problem.
He’s ok he just does that sometimes
So I thought this was commonly known internet navigation (but apparently it might just be those of us who have been using the internet since the 90's who still know it). Or so it seems based on... a grumpy comment I got.
When you see an arrow like this:
It means you click it to expand out a hidden section.
It's an accordion section/menu! It's useful in web design to hide information that may be overwhelming under specific headers so people can only see what they need.
Here I'm using it for people who need the content warnings to be able to check, but for those who don't need them and don't want to be spoiled to just move right past without accidentally reading anything.
It's still the user's responsibility to click the arrow and read things as they need! But it is all warned. (And, yes, the all encompassing issues are already a tag on the fic, I'm just providing additonal warnings per chapter.)
Ah, sorry yes! For those who want the html, it's the details and summary tags!
GET THOSE PUMPKINS UPPPPPP
Let’s go pumpkins LETS GO!!!!
july is disability pride month !! so, here’s a reminder that respect isn’t something disabled people should have to earn or fight for, but something that should be given naturally, this month and every month.
there is still so much ableism not just in the wider society, but in queer spaces and communities, even amongst other disabled people - as a person with autism, i am part of the disabled community, but i know that that i still have more privilege than people with physical disabilities who are harmed by the unaccommodating design of our buildings and public spaces; or more stigmatised metal disorders and disabilities such as psychosis, schizophrenia and dissociative disorders.
so, this disability pride month i urge not just for more respect in the wider community, but within the disabled community itself. celebrate your own disability/ies, but make sure you celebrate other disabilities too and never put someone down for being ‘more’ or differently disabled than you.
happy disability pride month from your local anxious autistic girlie <3 it’s a time to celebrate

I've got several issues with the proposed Tumblr blackout, but chief among them is the fact that it lands on the first day of Disabled Pride Month and the fact that there are people calling for it to become indefinite when disabled folks already have limited access to their communities, and many of us are losing what little reliable access we have because of places like Reddit going dark.
Like... idk. Maybe I'm being uncharitable. But the prioritization of ensuring Pride is minimally interfered with while the first day of Disability Pride is just taken away is rubbing me the wrong way.
And just to be clear. I don't think anyone is doing it intentionally. But I also think that's the problem. No one thinks about disabled people except other disabled people. I wish they would.
