🌵🌵 howdy! i'm elf! 🌵🌵

i'm 26, agender transmasc (he/they/it/???), neurodivergent, queer, disabled, and an appalachian cowboy. you can find my pronouns.page here if you need any more details.

this is my personal blog. i just post whatever here. cowboy stuff, horses, cows, paintings, ocs and stuff i think is funny or important!! i post elder scrolls stuff exclusively on my side blog @voryn-dagoth. my oc tags are marwyd, wakeland, tiyrnan, tsujio, luis veracruz, penbrooke, layncaster, paiman, and snowgore! (more to be added, probably.)

my BEAUTIFUL, wonderful and talented boyfriend is @kamiporterbridges 💜💜💜!! if you see posts tagged as johnny, henry harker, archie, jin, gyro, isolde, and many more, they're his ocs! not mine!! i'll be tagging them with 'bfs oc' as well. GO FOLLOW HIM IF YOU LIKE THEM!!

i'm not much of a talker otherwise! my asks are closed since i'm terrible at responding and they stress me out, but if you have something urgent or want to say, please feel free to reach out! i don't bite!

i don't post my art anymore. sorry if you followed originally for art. you can find most of it archived on my toyhouse though.

check out me and my boyfriend's project, the haunters! a group of paranormal investigators who are trying to make it to the top via the internet, but maybe not without some hitches, demons, and curses along the way! i mostly illustrate some scenes and come up with some plot points, but kami does all of the writing!

otherwise! thanks for reading!!

🐎🐎🐎 <- my cool horses btw. if you even care.

it's crazy how many super duper patriarchal things get retroactively justified in the name of being about love. yeah I'm sure women taking their husbands surname has always 100% been about recovering from trauma and distancing yourself from abusive family or whatever and has absolutely nothing at all to do with women being seen as property. great work here everyone, marriage as a concept has been redeemed through the power of pop psychology

but seriously you can talk about how wildly sexist that tradition is and people will come out of the woodwork to be like "well as someone with a bad relationship with their family I actually think my partner giving me their surname would be really healing" as if you were talking about individual reasoning and not patriarchy.

personally i feel like not doing all the patriarchal family stuff might be a bit of a better idea vis a vis people not being harmed by their family but I'm glad you specifically have found a use case for this!

personal anecdotes always trump structural analysis

I'm really curious about this!! in aotearoa, every classroom I was in growing up had posters up on how to respond to an earthquake. "drop, cover, hold" was drilled into me from a very young age. I experienced a few growing up, but they were mild because I don't live in areas where they are more extreme. One of our major cities, christchurch/ōtautahi, gets hit by earthquakes very frequently. if you look at a global seismic hazard map, aotearoa is fully lit up in the colour indicating high hazard chance. wild!!!

for reference, in the UK (similar size country) there are around 20-30 noticeable earthquakes per year. in aotearoa, that number is around 100-250!
