I had a dream I was running a dnd one shot for dungeon meshi, where I put them in a ‘seemingly normal town’ that was actually one super organism meat-slime monster mimic thing that replicated entire towns to draw in prey. All the ‘people’ were like an angler’s fish lure, attached to a pulsating floor by viscera. It was an inelegant pantomime of normalcy.

Chilchuck was the only one rolling high enough perception checks to actually notice. He was losing his mind freaking out while Senshi was gushing over unique cuisine (more pieces of the monster) and Marcille was busy buying things in the flesh market. Chilchuck kept begging them to figure it out but they just kept flubbing roll after roll, trying to convince Chilchuck he was over reacting and needed to calm down now they were safely out of the dungeon.
telling someone “haha no you don’t. It’s terrible, you should never want that. it’s awful and sucks so much” about like…wishing they had a dick or something in the same way people get the second a trans girl expresses that she wants boobs or a vagina or *gasp* a functioning uterus, periods and all
trans person who hasn’t unpacked how their dysphoria impacts how they understand trans womens desired bodies vs cis woman who does exactly the same thing but somehow in a *less* transphobic way
Hi! Sorry I didn’t respond to your message. I got overwhelmed and my mind popped like an overloaded fuse and I turned back into a confused and disoriented 6 year old version of myself.

why does little timmy, age 7, white, get to avoid knowledge of racism while little timmy, age 7, black, is expected to navigate a racist world while his peers -unknowingly or otherwise- contribute to his trauma about that heinous status quo?
why does little timmy, age 7, csa victim, have to live in a world where he doesn’t know that what his parents are doing to him is wrong because he’s never heard the language necessary to communicate what’s happening nor does he know it’s abnormal?
why do kids who have good lives get to have childhoods completely free of empathy or the ability to reach out to kids who are having a rough time? why do the kids who are having a rough time need to remain silent and uneducated about their own pain?
who is helped by a lack of information besides those adults who are already in power?
