  • This is the only instance we’re on and we found it by chance. So I can’t compare it to other instances. But it’s really refreshing compared to other social media. Does feel chill and I like seeing other radqueers without antis getting in the way (like on Tumblr)

    I kinda want to explore other spaces but it takes me a while to branch out. I’m slow.

    Oh and because I’m slow and shy I don’t mind RQD2 being less active. It’s not like I care about necroing ;)

    Note I use “the outside” to refer to the world outside our plural system and “outsiders” to refer to people who are not members of our system.

    After the last unicorn freed the others, the stampede caused King Haggard’s castle to crumble with him in it.

    For better or worse, reality is not a fairy tale. In reality, our mind consists of both the indulgent King Haggards and the fearful unicorns. King Haggards cannot die, but also, unicorns will not hide under the sea forever. And the unicorns of the outside I fear harming don’t benefit from our suffering and will overwhelmingly not notice our death. I affect ourself more than anyone else, so it follows I should care for my Haggards and unicorns first, before concerning myself with outsiders of the nonexistent past or the nonexistent future.

    Caring for my Haggards means accepting when I desensitize myself with problematic fantasies or media. It means accepting how I treat horrific fantasizes as real. It means accepting when we system members harm each other. When I harm them. When I ignore their boundaries. Accepting my unicorns means accepting my fear that my thoughts will snowball into actions. My guilt over harming others. My worry that I am harming myself. It’s difficult for us. It really is. I’ve tried to make this comment sound more optimistic but now, unlike in the OP, I’m leaning more fearful unicorn than indulgent Haggard. We at least partially believe that it is possible for any thought to snowball into pattern then belief then action, and that belief is truly overwhelming when it flares up.

    Thanks for the reply <3
