I want y9u t9 imagine me cracking my pr9ver6ial knuckles in a n9nvi9lent, n9nthreatening way as I 6egin t9 press my digits 9nt9 my key69ard with the same diligence 9f a swing6east and his typewriter. Th9ugh, I aim t9 make m9re sensical w9rks than the af9rementi9ned 6east. I w9uld like t9 clarify that I am n9t sh9cked 6y the existence 9f desire. I am aware that pe9ple find 9ther pe9ple attractive. I have, in fact, enc9untered the c9ncept 6ef9re, 9ften against my will and usually 9n this we6site. #Clarificati9n #Attracti9nMenti9n #ChittrMenti9n #PleaseD9N9tStart #Swing6eastMenti9n #TypeWriter #Cracking #KnuckleMenti9n #DigitMenti9n What I find unpleasant a69ut these #Smash9rPass p9sts is the little perf9rmance 9f casual disp9sal inv9lved. A pers9n’s entire pu6lic self gets held up f9r half a sec9nd, every9ne squints, and then the availa6le resp9nses are apparently either “I w9uld use this pers9n f9r gratificati9n” 9r “I reject this pers9n as a candidate f9r use.” That is a fairly 6leak little 6inary t9 dress up as harmless fun. #Smash9rPass #6inaryMenti9n #96jectificati9nMenti9n #HarmlessFunMenti9n I understand that many pe9ple su6mit themselves willingly. I am sure s9me9ne will arrive sh9rtly t9 explain that c9nsent has 9ccurred, theref9re n9 9ne is permitted t9 feel any residual disc9mf9rt, 6ecause apparently c9nsent is n9w a magical little sp9nge that a6s9r6s every questi9na6le implicati9n fr9m the surr9unding fl99r. #C9nsentMenti9n #MagicSp9ngeMenti9n #Disc9mf9rtMenti9n I enc9urage y9u l99k 6ack at my 9ther p9sts regarding c9nsent. #6ackTracking #Enc9uragement #C9nsent My issue is that the f9rmat enc9urages pe9ple t9 practice l99king at each 9ther in the least gener9us way p9ssi6le. N9 c9nversati9n. N9 c9ntext. N9 tenderness. Just a little pu6lic lever la6eled WANT 9r D9 N9T WANT. The feed may c9nsider this lecher9us 6ehavi9r hum9r9us f9r a m9ment, 6ut it is ultimately a humiliati9n ritual. Y9u are turning y9urself int9 an item 9n a menu. #Pers9nh99dMenti9n #MenuMenti9n #Pu6licJudgment #LeverMenti9n #Feed #Enc9uragementAgain #UltimateMenti9n Als9, “smash” is a hide9us term. I am s9rry. It is. It s9unds like s9mething a h99f6east d9es t9 a fence after 6eing p99rly s9cialized. If y9u are g9ing t9 pu6licly ann9unce y9ur attracti9n t9 s9me9ne, perhaps ch99se a w9rd that d9es n9t make desire s9und like 6lunt f9rce trauma with 6etter lighting. #SmashMenti9n #W9rdCh9iceMenti9n #H99f6eastMenti9n #6luntF9rceTraumaMenti9n My fell9w we6surfers, I am n9t asking f9r a 6an, a c9mmittee, the Anti-Smash Taskf9rce, 9r anything 9f the s9rt. Primarily, as y9u w9uld all j9in it ir9nically and pr9ceed t9 ruin it. #Accusati9n #TaskF9rce #S9cializati9nP9licing #C9mmittee #6an I am simply asking that, 6ef9re y9u turn the next pers9n int9 a tw9-6utt9n p9ll f9r the amusement 9f a c9mment secti9n, y9u c9nsider whether the 6it is actually funny, 9r whether every9ne has just g9tten very c9mf9rta6le mistaking speed f9r h9nesty. #PleaseReflect #Smash9rPassMenti9n #ChittrCulture

Hell9, Chittr. #Salutati9ns #9fDisapp9intment N9w, 6ef9re I 6egin, I w9uld like t9 clarify that I am n9t interested in pr9ducing a crude little geneal9gical chart t9 shake at 9ne an9ther in an eff9rt t9 res9lve 6l99dline hygiene. This is g9ing t9 9perate fr9m a s9cial and p9wer-6ased standp9int. That's right, we are g9ing t9 6e talking a69ut a h9t 6utt9n t9pic. Incest. #Incest #IncestMenti9n #Geneal9gyMenti9n #PleaseRead6ef9reReacting #NSFWE #Inc9ming That is n9t my c9ncern, geneal9gically speaking. 9r rather, it is n9t 9n the same axis that my current c9ncern currently rests. I understand that in parad9x space, dream 6u66les, scratch-adjacent c9ntinuities, ect96i9l9gical l99p6acks, ancest9r-descednant recursi9ns, alternate selves, re699ted selves, "technically n9t the same pers9n" splinters, "6ut we never shared a hive" arguments, and whatever fresh little legal ficti9n 9ne 9f y9u will invent 6y sunrise, the actual family-tree questi9n can 6ec9me s9 tangled that attempting t9 s9lve it with 9rdinary m9ral v9ca6ulary is like c9m6ing a 6all 9f wire with y9ur digits. #Parad9xSpace #Ancest9rDescendantMenti9n #AlternateSelfMenti9n #6all9fWireMenti9n What 69thers me, and I d9 mean 69thers me in the sense that I have 6een trying t9 scr9ll past it with dignity and failing m9re 9ften than I w9uld like t9 admit, is the extent t9 which pe9ple 9n this we6site seem increasingly c9mf9rta6le taking relati9nships already 6urdened 6y age, reverence, resem6lance, dependency, myth9l9gical auth9rity, hist9rical pr9jecti9n, ancest9r w9rship, timeline trauma, 9r the h9rri6le little intimacy 9f “y9u are me, 6ut damaged differently,” and then treating the entire mess as th9ugh it has 6ec9me accepta6le 6ecause every9ne inv9lved can put a clever tag 9n it. #P9werDynamics #ReverenceMenti9n #TimelineTrauma #TaggingIsN9tA6s9luti9n There is a difference 6etween "technically permissi6le under the m9st exhausted p9ssi6le reading 9f c9ntinuity" and "n9t 96vi9usly p9is9ned 6y s9cial f9rces." #C9ntinuityMenti9n #Permissi6ilityMenti9n #P9is9nMenti9n #P9is9nedDynamics And n9, I am n9t saying adults cann9t make ch9ices. I am n9t saying desire must 6e filed f9r pu6lic appr9val in triplicate 6ef9re any9ne is permitted t9 feel it. I am n9t even saying that every strange, recursive, cr9ss-timeline attachment is aut9matically a6usive, 6ecause I am aware that reality has 6ec9me much less tidy than any 9f us w9uld prefer. A num6er 9f y9u are here t9 d9 y9ur 6est t9 assem6le pers9nh99d 9ut 9f recycled mem9ries, dead selves, sym69lic parents, technical descendants, and s9 f9rth. #AdultsMenti9n #DesireMenti9n #C9ntinuityC9mplicati9ns I am saying that when y9ur attracti9n depends 9n s9me9ne l99king like y9u, 6eing descended fr9m y9u, 6eing y9ur predecess9r, 6eing y9ur y9unger ech9, 6eing y9ur 9lder ech9, 6eing the pers9n wh9 was turned int9 a st9ry 6ef9re y9u ever met them, 9r 6eing the pers9n y9u can finally reach 6ecause the universe has 6ec9me t99 6r9ken t9 keep its categ9ries shut, perhaps the first resp9nse sh9uld n9t 6e “h9t.” #Attracti9nMenti9n #Ech9Menti9n #PleasePause Perhaps the first resp9nse sh9uld 6e a l9ng, quiet, deeply unpleasant pers9nal invent9ry. #Pers9nalInvent9ry #PleaseTake9ne F9r example, I w9uld 6e pr9f9undly unc9mf9rta6le if P9rrim l99ked at me that way. #P9rrimMenti9n #ExampleMenti9n #69undaryMenti9n N9t 6ecause I 6elieve P9rrim is incapa6le 9f desire, 96vi9usly. She has made a fairly c9mprehensive pu6lic case t9 the c9ntrary 9ver the span 9f several eternities. #P9rrimMenti9n #DesireMenti9n #PleaseD9N9tTellHerISaidThat The c9ncern is the disc9mf9rt that c9mes ar9und with the structure ar9und it. The familiarity, the caretaking p9sture, the way she has kn9wn me, c9rrected me, fussed 9ver me, dismissed me, teased me, named me, and attempted t9 manage me m9re as a wiggler than a peer. Had she taken me 9ut int9 the near6y hallway, and put a misplaced mitt up9n my jaw, and delicately enf9rced I stare her in the eyes whilst she c9nfessed flushed 9r caligin9us feelings, I w9uld 6e m9re than just "gr9ssed 9ut." I w9uld feel as th9ugh a wh9le archive 9f 9rdinary interacti9ns had 6een retr9actively dipped in n9nc9nsensual disc9mf9rt. #CaretakingMenti9n #Retr9activeDisc9mf9rt #C9nsentMenti9n #N9tA69utGenetics That is the part many 9f y9u seem determined t9 skip. #SkippingTheP9int Y9u keep asking whether the 6ranch c9nnects t9 the 6ranch. I am asking wh9 has 6een h9lding the ladder. #FamilyTreeMenti9n #LadderMenti9n A descendant admiring an ancest9r is n9t neutral. A player dating their alternate self is n9t neutral. A resurrected adult pursuing the versi9n 9f s9me9ne wh9 still treats them like a myth is n9t neutral. A pers9n taking advantage 9f the fact that parad9x has made the v9ca6ulary difficult is n9t clever. It is, at 6est, suspici9usly c9nvenient. #Admirati9nMenti9n #AlternateSelfMenti9n #Myth9l9gizingMenti9n #Suspici9usC9nvenience I kn9w s9me9ne is g9ing t9 say this is rich c9ming fr9m a tr9ll s9ciety with quadrants, ancest9rs, ect96i9l9gy, slurry l9gistics, and a relati9nship t9 repr9ducti9n which makes human family m9rality l99k like a small dec9rative fence ar9und a sinkh9le. Thank y9u. I am aware. That is precisely why I am n9t arguing fr9m the p9siti9n 9f “ew, shared genes,” which is a phrase s9 intellectually imp9verished it sh9uld 6e given a 6lanket and a pamphlet. #HumanM9ralityMenti9n #Tr9llS9ciety #SharedGenesMenti9n #PamphletMenti9n I am arguing fr9m the p9siti9n that intimacy 6ec9mes danger9us when 9ne party is carrying t99 much sym69lic weight f9r the 9ther t9 set d9wn. #IntimacyMenti9n #Sym69licWeight If s9me9ne sees y9u as an ancest9r, a miracle, a rescue, a pr9phecy, a sec9nd chance, a 6etter versi9n 9f themself, a w9rse versi9n 9f themself, 9r the 9nly pers9n wh9 c9uld p9ssi6ly understand them, then perhaps every9ne inv9lved sh9uld st9p flirting f9r l9ng en9ugh t9 ask whether this is affecti9n, hunger, w9rship, revenge, l9neliness, self-harm with prettier lighting, 9r just an9ther instance 9f Chittr c9nfusing intensity with meaning. #W9rshipMenti9n #L9nelinessMenti9n #IntensityMenti9n #PleaseReflect And 6ef9re any9ne accuses me 9f 6eing judgmental, yes. 96vi9usly. Judgment is s9metimes the appr9priate resp9nse t9 watching a pu6lic feed sl9wly fill with pe9ple making eyes at their ancest9rs, descendants, mirr9r selves, sym69lic si6lings, and “n9t technically related if y9u read the side6ar” excepti9ns. #JudgmentMenti9n #Side6arMenti9n #TechnicallyN9tRelated I am n9t asking f9r a purge. I am n9t asking f9r harassment. I am n9t asking any9ne t9 chase any9ne else int9 the sea with a 6r99m, th9ugh apparently that is n9w s9mething I must specify whenever I criticize pu6lic 6ehavi9r. #N9Harassment #N96r99m #CriticismIsN9tAPurge I am asking f9r a pause. A real 9ne. Sit with the disc9mf9rt y9u are feeling 6ef9re dressing it up as a 6it, a kink, a ship, a d99med r9mance, a quadrant, an excepti9n f9r y9ur m9rals, a l99ph9le, 9r a j9ke.

thats a lot of words to say that you dont like power dynamics lil man though i did read all those words so its more egg on my face than yours
Yes, I d9 n9t enj9y when individuals have an inherent p9wer 9ver 9ne an9ther. D9 n9te that while incest was initially tagged due t9 timeline relevance, this p9st c9vered a variety 9f unc9mf9rta6le s9cial dynamics. I sincerely appreciate y9u reading this in its entirety.

N9w 6ef9re any9ne says anything, and I kn9w several 9f y9u are already preparing t9 say s9mething, likely inv9lving the w9rds “adult,” “fang 6races,” “skill issue,” 9r s9me unimagina6ly lazy remark a69ut h9w I sh9uld have simply all9wed my teeth t9 c9ntinue arranging themselves acc9rding t9 whatever jagged little ide9l9gy they were apparently pursuing in my m9uth, I w9uld like t9 state that 9rth9d9ntic c9rrecti9n is n9t, in itself, childish. #Fang6racesMenti9n #AdultTr9llMenti9n #Please6eMature Yes, I am an adult tr9ll.

@aeneasCaldarium asks: "vwhats y9ur take 9n seers and the vway they guide 9thers? #SeerTW #GuidanceMenti9n" Cr9nus, I am g9ing t9 d9 y9u the extra9rdinary c9urtesy 9f interpreting this as a sincere questi9n a69ut Seers, guidance, and the ethical resp9nsi6ilities inherent t9 advis9ry classpect la69r, rather than as whatever extremely damp little innuend9 is alm9st certainly lurking under the w9rd “guide,” 6ecause if I start dignifying every suggestive sylla6le y9u leave unattended in my ask69x, I will have effectively v9lunteered t9 6ec9me a municipal cleanup crew f9r y9ur pers9nality. #SeerTW #GuidanceMenti9n #Cr9nusMenti9n #N9tTakingThe96vi9us6ait N9w, as a Seer 9f 6l99d, and as s9me9ne wh9 has perhaps 6een unfairly maligned as "69ssy," "c9ndescending," "unasked f9r," "still talking," and, in 9ne especially uncharita6le instance, "a y9uth past9r f9r the elderly," I actually think the Seer's r9le is 9ften misunderst99d 6y th9se wh9 mistake guidance f9r c9mmand, c9mmand f9r care, and care f9r the right t9 rearrange 9ne an9ther's lives thr9ugh the mechanics 9f the game we shared. F9r example, with Damara, 9ur Witch 9f Time, I w9uld have guided her t9ward understanding that the p9wer t9 change a timeline is n9t the same thing as freed9m fr9m c9nsequence, and that smashing the cl9ck is 9ften 9nly a m9re dramatic way 9f admitting the cl9ck was still the center 9f the r99m. #DamaraMenti9n #Witch9fTime #C9nsequenceMenti9n #Cl9ckMenti9n @handMaid With Rufi9h, 9ur R9gue 9f 6reath, I w9uld have explained, patiently, and pr96a6ly m9re than 9nce, that "freed9m" is n9t just a sacred little w9rd and y9u cann9t just drift away fr9m 96ligati9n. #Rufi9hMenti9n #R9gue9f6reath #Freed9mMenti9n #96ligati9nMenti9n @aer9dynamicTramp With Mituna, 9ur Heir 9f D99m, I w9uld have 6een extremely careful, 6ecause D99m players are very frequently praised right up until the exact m9ment every9ne realizes they have 6een treating s9me9ne else’s suffering as a c9mmunal res9urce, and I w9uld have asked, 6ef9re every n96le sacrifice, whether it was actually n96le, actually necessary, 9r simply what every9ne f9und c9nvenient f9r him. #MitunaMenti9n #Heir9fD99m #SacrificeMenti9n #D99mTW @c9ngruentAttitude With Meulin, 9ur Mage 9f Heart, I w9uld have enc9uraged her t9 distinguish 6etween understanding s9me9ne’s feelings and rummaging ar9und in them, 6ecause em9ti9nal insight, while valua6le, is n9t a permissi9n slip t9 6ec9me the l9udest p9ssi6le cust9dian 9f an9ther pers9n’s inner life. #MeulinMenti9n #Mage9fHeart #HeartMenti9n #Em9ti9nal69undaries @amusingCaterwaul With P9rrim, 9ur Maid 9f Space, I w9uld have said, and did say in several adjacent f9rms, that nurturing life, creating space, and respecting aut9n9my are n9t interchangea6le, th9ugh I am sure she w9uld n9w claim I 9nly 96jected 6ecause she was c9rrect a69ut an entirely different issue she had n9t yet finished 6eing smug a69ut. #P9rrimMenti9n #Maid9fSpace #Aut9n9myMenti9n #PleaseD9N9tD9te @glam9r9usAuspaciar With Latula, 9ur Knight 9f Mind, I w9uld have guided her t9ward the difficult awareness that perf9rmative c9mpetence is still perf9rmance, even when it is useful.

The fact that y9u read it and then ch9se n9t t9 call me a pretenti9us 6ulge6ag is, in its 9wn way, a small 6ut n9ta6le act 9f restraint. #MeenahMenti9n #ReadingC9mprehensi9n #RestraintMenti9n #6ulge6agMenti9n That said, “I did everything right and every9ne else still fucked up” is a sentence s9 perfectly shaped like y9u that I alm9st feel rude criticizing it, like I have walked int9 a museum and started c9rrecting the p9sture 9f a statue. I am n9t saying y9u did everything wr9ng. I am saying that if y9ur m9del 9f leadership requires every9ne else t9 6ec9me c9mpetent 9nly after y9u have already decided f9r them, then the failure may n9t 6e entirely d9wnstream fr9m their stupidity, c9wardice, dis9rganizati9n, 9r whatever 9ther w9rd y9u are currently refusing t9 type 6ecause y9u are “reeflecting.” Please d9 c9ntinue stewing. Stewing is, in y9ur case, pr96a6ly the least danger9us f9rm 9f 69iling. #LeadershipMenti9n #Reflecti9nMenti9n #StewingMenti9n #N9tCallingY9uWr9ngExactly
Cr9nus, I am g9ing t9 accept “ain’t half 6ad” as a c9mpliment, despite the fact that it was delivered thr9ugh the deeply suspici9us vehicle 9f calling my remarks “friendfic,” which I assume means y9u are attempting t9 place my seri9us classpect analysis s9mewhere 6etween pers9nal insight and s9me s9rt 9f recreati9nal em9ti9nal c9ntra6and. #Cr9nusMenti9n #FriendficMenti9n #FanficMenti9n #C9mplimentAcceptedWithC9ncern Still, thank y9u. I w9uld rather y9u understand the p9st 6adly than n9t read it at all, which I realize s9unds insulting, 6ut in y9ur case is actually me making a gener9us all9wance f9r the fact that c9mprehensi9n 9ften has t9 appr9ach y9u fr9m the side, sl9wly, with 69th hands visi6le. #GratitudeMenti9n #C9mprehensi9nMenti9n #HandsVisi6le
Rufi9h, yes, I am sure y9u have dicti9naries. I am n9t disputing y9ur access t9 dicti9naries. I am n9t even disputing that y9u may, under fav9ra6le lighting and with sufficient rest, successfully l9cate the w9rd “freed9m” in 9ne 9f them. #Rufi9hMenti9n #Dicti9naryMenti9n #Freed9mMenti9n The pr96lem, and I say this with the weary patience 9f s9me9ne wh9 has watched the same less9n fly 9ut the same 9pen wind9w several times, is that kn9wing what freed9m means is n9t the same thing as understanding what y9ur freed9m d9es t9 9ther pe9ple when y9u use it primarily as a d99r. Y9u d9 n9t get t9 drift away fr9m an 96ligati9n, call the drifting sacred, and then act c9nfused when s9me9ne standing 6ehind y9u says, actually, that left a mark. #96ligati9nMenti9n #6reathPlayerMenti9n #D99rMenti9n #ThatLeftAMark
Damara, guidance is n9t string-pulling. 9r, I sh9uld say, it is n9t supp9sed t9 6e string-pulling, which is an imp9rtant distincti9n and n9t merely the s9rt 9f delicate ver6al curtain pe9ple hang in fr9nt 9f a h99k. A Seer p9ints t9 the kn9t. A tyrant tightens it. I understand why y9u might n9t find the distincti9n c9mf9rting, and I will n9t insult y9u 6y pretending the difference has always pr9tected any9ne wh9 needed pr9tecting. #GuidanceMenti9n #StringsMenti9n #Kn9tMenti9n #Imp9rtantDistincti9n
Kurl9z, if the w9rd “9ddities” w9unded y9u, then I ap9l9gize f9r the imprecisi9n 9f the term, th9ugh I must admit that the w9und 6ec9mes s9mewhat difficult t9 assess when it arrives acc9mpanied 6y three theatrical laughs and the general atm9sphere 9f s9me9ne pressing a fl9wer t9 a knife w9und t9 see which 9ne gets em6arrassed first. #Kurl9zMenti9n #9dditiesMenti9n #W9undMenti9n #LaughingMenti9n I was n9t calling y9u, as a pers9n, an 9ddity. I was referring t9 the practical difficulty 9f arguing with a pers9n wh9se preferred t99ls 9f disagreement include silence, implicati9n, d9ctrine, and that particular manner 9f l99king at s9me9ne as th9ugh the actual argument has already happened s9mewhere 6ehind the walls. If that is “catching strays,” then I will c9ncede the stray was perhaps n9t fully leashed. #Clarificati9nMenti9n #RagePlayerMenti9n #D9ctrineMenti9n #StrayMenti9n
:o) Hee hee :o) Oh it has been an age since I have enjoyed seeing your diatribes. :o) I cannot believe I am saying this :o) But I missed you. :o) To see you once more the real you :o) Is truly a wonder of wonders.
CAN YOU TWO GET A ROOM. AND LET ME STAND IN THE CORNER. HHHH.
I hear y9u. #Ackn9wledgement I will address the rest 9f that message sh9rtly. #6ack6urner #Return #96jective #AddressMenti9n #Length9ftimen9theight
Kurl9z, I am g9ing t9 ask y9u, as calmly as p9ssi6le, n9t t9 make a ha6it 9f saying things like “I missed y9u” in pu6lic where I am then expected t9 resp9nd as th9ugh that is n9t a small, extremely inc9nvenient em9ti9nal 96ject y9u have placed directly in the middle 9f the fl99r. #Kurl9zMenti9n #Pu6licTendernessMenti9n #Em9ti9nal96jectMenti9n #PleaseD9N9tMakeThisStrange That said, I did read it. 96vi9usly. I read m9st things addressed t9 me, despite the apparently p9pular 6elief that I simply stand in fr9nt 9f language and pr9duce myself at it until every9ne gives up. #ReadingMenti9n #Diatri6eMenti9n #LanguageMenti9n I am n9t sure I accept the phrase “the real y9u,” 6ecause it suggests there is s9me preserved, sta6le, unc9rrupted versi9n 9f me waiting under all the disc9urse, as th9ugh if en9ugh pe9ple were patient, 9r n9stalgic, 9r 9min9usly f9nd, they c9uld peel away the lectures and find a m9re c9nvenient Kankri underneath. This is me. The qualificati9ns, the 96jecti9ns, the warnings, the 9verc9rrecti9ns, the sincere desire t9 help, the entirely reas9na6le frustrati9n when n969dy lets me finish a sentence. Th9se are n9t 6arnacles 9n the self. They are, regretta6ly 9r 9therwise, part 9f the vessel. #RealY9uMenti9n #Selfh99dMenti9n #N9tA6arnacle #VesselMetaph9r 6ut I appreciate it. #Appreciati9n I d9. I am aware that pr96a6ly s9unded insufficiently graceful, 6ut I am n9t g9ing t9 perf9rm a m9re dec9rative resp9nse just 6ecause the c9mment arrived wearing 6ells. I missed many pe9ple in ways I did n9t have clean language f9r at the time, and I am still n9t c9nvinced I have clean language n9w. #MissedY9uMenti9n #CleanLanguageMenti9n #6ellsMenti9n S9 thank y9u. And please d9 n9t turn that int9 d9ctrine. #ThankY9u #N9D9ctrinePlease
Damara, n9. #Immediate69undary #N9 Als9, Kurl9z saying he missed me is n9t, in itself, an er9tic event. #Kurl9zMenti9n #MissedY9uMenti9n #N9tEr9tic S9, again, n9. Y9u may stand s9mewhere else. Prefera6ly a place where I cann9t see y9u making that expressi9n. #FinalN9 #DamaraMenti9n #Expressi9nMenti9n #PleaseRespect69undaries
