We are members of the DID system known as the Collective Telos. This is a blog of some things we like. We may write stuff, do surveys, maybe post some fanart. See sidebar for details, triggers, et cetera.
Finally getting around to watching Firefly. I’ve heard all these great things about it - hopefully it’ll live up to the hype.
if you are ASEXUAL, you do not experience SEXUAL ATTRACTION.

976. Muggleborns using transfiguration spells to turn Yu-gi-oh and Pokemon cards into the actual creatures, and having battles and duels with them.
Today in Solidarity (10.13.14): From Ferguson to Palestine, the revolution has arrived. In the early days of the protests in Ferguson, it was Palestinians who first reached out to offer guidance and wisdom in how to combat police brutality. What has flourished in the time since is one of the truest manifestations of global solidarity I’ve ever witnessed. This is how a moment becomes a movement. #staywoke #fergusonoctober #revolution.

975. A muggleborn attempts to find a way to recreate the records that were destroyed during Voldemort’s reign, to find all those muggleborns who never got to go to magical school. They eventually start looking through public records, and some not so public, eventually finding almost all of those…
I can’t make out most of the lyrics to Froot but damn if it isn’t catchy anyway, heh.
We went to the park again and it was quite awesome. We tried out the new goggles but the damn things keep fogging up so we haven’t done much with them yet.
I think exercising in moving water is my favorite, because it’s not like a bath where you’re just sitting there in it, and the range of motion is way better than on land, which uses muscles that don’t always get attention just from day-to-day land-based existence.
But more than anything, I’m just glad we have access to a clean place to swim in moving water. We used to really enjoy swimming before all that puberty shit hit the fan and our usual baseline body dysphoria skyrocketed, which meant bathing suits were no longer an option, and we didn’t have anywhere to go that wouldn’t require one for swimming. Additionally, chlorinated pools are okay just to get one’s water-fix, but a natural spring with actual moving water, right out there in the midst of nature, is so much better, for us anyway.
Up until recently, I think it’d been like.. what.. Wow, about fourteen years since we’d gone swimming? Damn..
And that was stuck with biofamily people or school trip people, in man-made park pools, in the summer when everyone in the state was desperate to escape the brain-melting heat. Bleh. Hardly ideal.
But with a nice chill environment, NOT at the peak of summer, with beautiful trees changing colors for the season, and clear moving water.. Not to mention we’re allowed to just wear our exercise pants and a shirt, rather than freaking ourselves out trying to deal with a bathing suit..
Something about it triggers something peaceful, specifically for me moreso than some of the others, I think. Like, it’s where I’m supposed to be, instead of trying to live life bound to a land-based human form being slowly oxidized to death by the very air that surrounds it.
I’ve been exploring this feeling and trying to figure out what my ideal form would look like, if not human. Webbed fingers and toes, for damn sure - no more sand or anything else between them, finally. We despise that sensation, it just feels so wrong for stuff to be there.. Hence our extreme aversion to being barefoot. The SO lived with us for YEARS before ever seeing the body’s bare feet, because we so completely loathe anything getting between its toes that we ALWAYS wear socks unless we’re showering. In toddlerhood, some of the first words we learned were “sand in shoes,” to describe that horrible sensation of stuff being where stuff should not be.
Also, eyes that can see in the water without having to rely on goddamn foggy goggles for clear vision.
Probably genderless, too, come to think of it. When we found out about non-binary gender possibilities from tumblr several months ago, several of us immediately gravitated to agender, but I didn’t really care about gender labels enough to look into it so I figured I’d just stay female-identifying AFAB “by default.” But the more I think on it, I guess the “don’t care enough to figure it out” aspect should have been a hint that I’m probably more agender than I realized initially. But I dunno if I feel quite as agender as Deidal does, so maybe I’m a demigirl? I dunno, I’ll have to think on it more, but either way I’m glad to have non-binary options to consider.
I guess that’s it for now.
