Lyric

Welcome, welcome, here you can learn about me, my stances on various things, and who I will and will not willingly or knowingly interact with.

Do Not Interact

No one who identifies as an anti.
No one who is transphobic, homophobic, biphobic, panphobic, aphobic, or otherwise belittles others based on their gender or sexual preferences.
No racists or bigots or white supremacists.
No dicks.
No one who believes fiction affects reality.(&)
No MAPS/pedophiles, or anyone who supports such things in reality.
No right wing extremists.
No pro-lifers.
No radfems, TERFs, SWERFs.
No Trump supporters.
No exclusionists, no gatekeepers.
No one who is anti-MOGAI.
No truscum, transmed, or 'you have to feel dysphoria to be trans'.
No anti-endogenic systems.
No fandom cops, purity brigade.
No anti-kin.
No belittling others in general.(&) See Fiction =/= reality below.

Before You FOllow

Hello, I'm Lyric, I'm 34 years old and I am too tired to deal with bullshit repeatedly.I am proship (more on that in another link).I am bigender and use she/her and he/him pronouns interchangeably. Alongside that, I will also use ail/ailou/ailous/ailouself pronouns!I am novosexual, which means that my sexuality changes with my gender, reflecting how I feel in that moment -- however so long that will last.I'm a parent to two children whom I love very much.I am unapologetically myself and only change when I want to, not because of being pressured into doing so.I have multiple chronic illnesses that have been confirmed and more we're not entirely sure of. Among those are Cyclothymia, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic attacks, ADHD with RSD, GERD, IBS-D, migraines, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, chronic unexplained pain, insomnia, balance issues, mobility challenges, PCOS, hypothyroidism from Hashimoto's, overactive bladder, seasonal allergies, lymphedema, and fibromyalgia.I am multiship, which means I ship a lot of things in any given fandom, and rarely do I have ships I do not do unless they are repeatedly shoved in my face and forced down my throat.My current fandoms are FFXIV, FFXV, Fruits Basket, BNHA, Genshin Impact, Pokemon, and several others that are sort of on the fringes.All of this is to say, you can and will likely notice me retweeting things all over all these things, so if you're uncomfortable with something, it might be better for you to not follow. I won't tell you not to for anything on this page, but...it's up to you, in the end.

What is that alphabet soup

Alphabet soup is another way of saying I have a lot of things wrong with me that influence my day to day life -- physically and mentally, both in person and online. So since a lot of these things are things that might not be well known, figured I'd put things into perspective and explain.Therefore, warning for medical discussions for the rest of the page! If you don't want to know, then please by all means, click away.Cyclothymia is a disorder in the same family as bipolar disorder, however it's on the rarer side of things. My moods will quickly cycle between periods of hypomania, a less severe version of mania from bipolar disorder, as well as depressive episodes. We're in the process of getting this helped but it's not easy.GAD or Generalized Anxiety Disorder is what it says on the tin. I have anxiety at almost all times, and it's simply something that is just...there. Medication helps, but it's not a cure.Panic attacks come and go as they please. It can take very little to send me into one and no I'm not going to say what causes them to avoid people deliberately trying to trigger it in me.ADHD with RSD -- ADHD is Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, inattentive type specifically for me. I have troubles focusing and my mind will hop from thing to thing as it wishes. However, a big complication of this is RSD, Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. RSD is something that is still being studied and learned about, but basically it takes almost nothing for me to feel as if I'm being...well. Rejected. That I'm not wanted because of something someone else has said or done. This -- ADHD in general -- is a very recent diagnosis and thus it's being worked on but...it's not going to magically get better.GERD -- acid reflux. Complete with a hernia -- part of my stomach poking past where it should up into my esophagus which causes all the acid in my throat and makes my dietary options limited.IBS-D -- Irritable Bowl Syndrome - complete with grossness which also limits what I can eat.Migraines -- debilitating headaches that will knock me out for the better part of a day.Rheumatoid arthritis -- my body attacking my joints, specifically in my knees and hands, causing inflammation and pain.Osteoarthritis -- damage, wear and tear to my back, painful enough that I cannot stand in place for more than a couple minutes and can only move a little longer than that. This ALSO affects one of my knees, furthering limiting my mobility.Chronic pain -- what it says on the tin. As I have it beyond other explanations.Insomnia -- chronic difficulty in falling asleep beyond simply being other causes. I can alternate between very little sleep (typically) to a lot of sleep at once because I simply pass out from exhaustion.Balance issues -- I get lightheaded very easily and my legs are prone to collapsing from under me if I try to do too much at once, and too much is honestly very little.Mobility challenges -- explained above.PCOS -- polycystic ovarian syndrome. Basically, gives very painful menstrual periods as well as highly irregular and messy whenever not controlled with medication. And sometimes even with medication, I can have an especially bad time.Hashimoto's Hypothyroidism -- my thyroid is under attack by my own body's antibodies and thus has damaged my thyroid to the point where it doesn't produce the hormones necessary as much as it should.Overactive bladder -- when unmedicated I can need to go multiple times an hour, making some things online difficult.Seasonal allergies are not quite so good for me, like they're not good for anyone, but I'm especially prone to post-nasal drip which will make my already unhappy stomach even worse as it doesn't like all the snot coming in there.Lymphedema -- basically I'm swollen. Constantly. And the cause is because of my lymph nodes not being able to get the fluid to go back up, so my legs can vary by day on what shoes/pants/leggings will or won't fit, and is why I have to move around in my chair semi-often.Fibromyalgia -- pain. Pain, pain, pain. My nerves just like to make me be in pain. There's medicine to help, but no cure.Sleep Apnea -- another recent diagnosis (June 2022), but it's basically something that makes it so I can't breathe well at night. It can cause people affected to simply stop breathing and choke and have their sleep interrupted but not completely -- and can have multiple episodes per night, making sleep not restful. There are machines that can help, and I'm using one but we have to find the right mask for it where I can actually sleep with it.

Fiction, Reality, and the Truth

People get confused when we say 'Fiction does not affect reality' because...they either don't believe it or have seen what overly popular media can do to people.So let's get into it.Fiction does not directly affect reality in the way many people seem to suggest. Harry Potter books don't hold a wand to your temple and demand that you become a wizard, GTA doesn't make you more likely to kill people or steal cars, fighting games don't make you violent. That is what is meant by fiction does not affect reality. There is no large, deliberate thing causing people to change. Especially with video games -- those who went on to commit horrible crimes only just so happened to play the games in general. They are proven in almost every single instance to have been violent before games even came into the picture.Another example. The book Lolita. Deals with a man lusting over a girl, likely underage (I'm going off of memory currently), and it's widely accepted that the man in the book is a horrible person. But...no one shames the people who read the book. This is also where we got the term Loli from, which people will find issue with but...that's a whole other thing.What you choose to read or write in fiction, or draw in art, doesn't change who you are as a person, nor does it change your values or what you believe in the vast majority of the time. Yes...there are times when something does leave such a mark that it changes a person, but that is very much on an individual basis and not about people as a whole.Do not equate what someone writes as being something that they condone in reality. Often, such things are written in an attempt to help someone overcome the bad things in their lives, the things that have left a mark on them, in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.Because something, when properly tagged, or even tagged to be extra cautious, manages to not hurt others unless they deliberately choose to expose themselves to it.As such, I've stated this elsewhere, but I will state here for clarity. I do not condone pedophilia, non-con, drugging people, hurting others, power imbalances in a relationship, or anything else along those lines.I do support people who need it getting themselves help, whatever issues they might have, especially if they are a danger to themselves, or if they believe they are being falsely targeted or otherwise in danger.So. No, in the large picture, fiction does not affect reality in the vast majority of circumstances, and no one will change my mind on this.

What does proship/profiction mean?

I have had many groups recently making immediate assumptions about what a proshipper is, so I'm gonna lay it out here for people to see and come read, or not.Someone who is proship is someone who will not tell you that your choice of relationships within fiction is wrong. No matter what, proshippers (in my opinion) should support one another in whatever they may decide to write, draw, or consume.This does not mean that we approve of pedophilia in reality. Nor do we approve of rape, abuse, illegal drugs, self-harm, suicide, or anything else others may say. "Ship and let ship." Stay in your lane and don't shove someone out of theirs, and everyone is happy.Antis...who won't always openly claim themselves to be antis, are in fact the ones who force people to ship what they ship, and say anything else is wrong. However, they are functioning under the idea that fiction and reality are inseparable, which is grossly incorrect. In small ways, reality can be affected by fiction, but only in small ways. Not in large ways, and certainly not going to turn someone who is reading a story about two teenagers enjoying themselves together into a pedophile and sex offender.Antis are the ones who will suicide bait people (and you can find proof of this online), will threaten harm to people who don't align with their personal beliefs and think that everything ought to be censored.Antis are the ones who will show pornographic material with children, showing it to them by way of 'see? see what this person is doing? this is bad you have to see it so you know not to fall for it!' which...is doing what they accuse proshippers of doing: exposing children to adult material.Everyone should curate their own online experience. If you don't enjoy a ship? Block the hashtag, mute the name of the ship so posts won't appear so long as people are labeling things correctly. Block people if you need to.You don't need to go on a brigade because someone posts something you don't like. Ship and let ship. Block, and move along.
