@loretrip / loretrip.tumblr.com

Lore. Queer [They/He]. Taken by @anarchicraven. Spoonie. AuDHD. 33 years ancient. Tumblr Old. Tries to CW things but sometimes forgets - you've been warned. May follow from one of my side blogs: My spoonie/disability blog - spooniesimple.tumblr.com or my neurodivergence blog - infinityndenby.tumblr.com.

Pinned

Finally making a pinned post, since it seems to be a standard these days. I'll likely edit this later, though.

So, hey, I'm Lore [I also go by Loki, like the Norse god, though I don't mind the Marvel knockoff either; I have my own personal reasons for using this name]. I'm 33 years old, and live in the hellscape that is the US [for now].

I'm genderqueer [though don't mind being called or calling myself nonbinary - I do heavily prefer genderqueer however], transmasc [they/he, please] and genderflux [all of my genders flux into masculine of center ones, so masc terms are preferred]. I've also been on T for about a year now, so be aware I may occasionally post NSFW stuff (though I do tag it as NSFW) because well. T does that to a MF, lol. If you're interested to learn about all of my various labels+microlabels [yes we stan microlabels in this house, deal with it lol], heres my page:

I'm also mixed race - part Puerto Rican, part Caucasian, and I have ancestry from both the Taino and Cherokee tribes that I'm quite proud of [one of my many claimed labels is Two Spirit], along with an amalgamation of other things. I don't have a white last name, either, so I feel its fair enough to consider myself as not entirely white.

I am happily taken by my partner, @anarchicraven (they/them). We're monogamous, too. You'll probably see me tagging them frequently, though they're a Reddit refugee and don't use Tumblr often.

I'm also disabled - I have fibromyalgia and a back injury from a wreck I was in. I'm also autistic [late diagnosed] with ADHD. I consider myself neurodivergent and a spoonie for those reasons among others, and yes, you'll see a lot of neurodivergent content here because of that, though I do my best to put most of it on my sideblog [infinityndenby] because being late diagnosed means I'm down a rabbithole learning all I can, lol.

I'm a Tumblr Old - I've been on this Big Blue Hellsite TM since my preteens, though under various different names. So you're probably gonna see me reference that sometimes too.

I have a few sideblogs you may also see me reblog from, spooniesimple and infinityndenby being the main of them.

I have a variety of interests you'll see here, but one of the main ones you'll see most frequently are various Bethesda games' content, especially Fallout and TES.

Sometimes you'll see me reblog various creative writing tips because I dabble on occasion into writing fanfic [rarely], and I am heavily into roleplaying inside of the aforementioned games and do a lot of writing because of that. I do on occasion reblog art or writing I think is nifty, as well - I'd say I'm a huge creative type.

I'm also into psychology, biology, nature and its conservation, animals [especially wolves - I have a tag specifically for wolves if you're curious: #wolfposting], science of just about all types [though quantum mechanics is a huge favorite of mine]. I am an anarchist, currently undetermined what type [its still a very new discovery for me] - though I lean heavily into queer anarchism currently, so because of that I do also reblog a fair amount of political content that I try [and sometimes forget due to brain fog+ADHD wombo combo] to tag, as well as a lot of posts about queer and trans rights. That should give you a fair idea of the type of content you'll see on here, though it definitely doesn't cover all of it.

This is [obviously, duh] a trans and LGBTQ+ safe space. TERFs+radfems fuck off, you'll be blocked on site. This is also a safe space for other disabled+neurodivergent folks. Nice to meet ya'll. 👋

Friendly reminder that you should

  • Write that fic
  • Draw your OC
  • Redesign that blorbo
  • Plan that comic how you want
  • Create the content you want to see
  • Be cringe
  • Be free

The only thing that matters is you having fun! Not what others think!

part of what i like about "queer" as a label is that it is inherently hostile to definition. this part of myself is alien and unknowable to outsiders and I like it that way. no boxes for you to check and guess like you're playing cluedo. just queer.

ppl are so annoying “you can’t paint ur bedroom pink you’re an adult” i did not spend my entire life waiting to grow up and control my life to paint my bedroom beige

I had a sales woman in furniture store try and tell me not to buy a hot bubblegum pink loveseat because she wanted me to “think about the future”

Bitch, I am thinking about the future. I already got a hot bubblegum pink couch at home and now I need a loveseat to go with it.

when I first bought my house, I announced my decision to paint my bedroom purple. I had wanted a purple bedroom for thirty damn years, you fucking bet I was gonna have one now. My friends decided, for some reason, that I meant what one of them referred to as “14 year old girl purple” (through what’s wrong with the colors a 14 year old girl chooses, I don’t know, even if they’re not what I want as an adult). They didn’t believe me until they saw the color on the actual wall, even thought they helped me pick out paints. My mother, meanwhile, decided to get worried that if I painted my bedroom a “dark purple”, it would be “depressing”. As if, with an entire house to live in, I would spend all my time in the bedroom, which I wanted to be dark because I would be sleeping in there. In the damn dark.

I had like one, maybe two friends who were all like FUCK YEAH YOU PAINT IT WHATEVER COLOR YOU WANT, PURPLE BEDROOMS ARE AWESOME.

But when they actualy saw the finished bedroom, every single one of them was like, “Oh yeah, that’s really pretty.” (Well, the ones who supported me from the beginning were more like WOOHOO.)

And the moral of the story is: Fuck ‘em, please yourself. Either they’ll come around, or you can safely ignore every question of taste they opine about for the rest of time.

This applies to other adulting activities, too. When I was a kid, I decided that I wanted to have a wedding cake made of doughnuts. When I got older, I figured that I would be “mature” about it and get a traditional cake, which the older adults approved of. Now that I’m 25 and facing the possibility of actual marriage in the near future, I’m just like “marriage is a social construct but it comes with tax & insurance benefits, so just give me that goddamn doughnut cake.” If they don’t like it then they don’t have to come to my wedding.

I would like you all to view my office. I’m thirty and my rainbow room is awesome, people can fight me

I’m thirty and my first big furniture purchase was a custom coffin shaped coffee table that opens up and is lined with purple crushed velvet. I would have loved it at 13 and I love it now. Growing up doesn’t mean you have to abandon what makes you happy.

GROWING UP DOESN’T MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

GROWING UP DOESN’T

MEAN YOU HAVE TO ABANDON

WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I have told this story before, and I will tell it again, because I am An Old now and repeating stories forever is our prerogative:

When I bought my house, the kitchen was multiple shades of dingy white. It was dismal, but it was now mine! So went to the hardware store for paint (well, several trips, painted swatches on panel, etc — I’m very picky. But this was the final, ‘real’ trip). It was a busy day in the paint section. There were at least five people behind me in line.

Now, remember, latex paint is slightly lighter and brighter when wet than it is when dry. And I’d decided to paint my kitchen candy-apple red. The hardware store employee took my gallon off the Paint Jiggler and cracked it open to put a dab on the top, revealing the most incredibly deep pink, and behind me I hear the entire line of people say,

“Oh my god.”

…in perfect chorus.

I did not realize up until that moment that shocking a crowd of strangers with my paint color choices was a life goal, but at that moment I felt an absolutely overwhelming sense of achievement.

This is the door to my garage. It used to be white. Live your best life.

Mischief the cat says “Who goes there?”

Every visiting friend says “This is so cool.”

If you’re looking for an excuse to do some decorating that will make your soul sing, this entire thread is your sign to do it and don’t look back!

This is the door to

my garage. It used to be

white. Live your best life.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I've told this story before but the non-negotiable in allyship really reminded me of my gaming group. So one of my best friends is a twin and while I know *her* pretty well I don't really know her brother as well despite knowing him for roughly same length of time. We play videogames together and her brother asked to join us so at some point I took him aside and had The Talk with him because we at that point had a recently out trans fem within the group and she had just barely started hormones and hadn't done any voice training etc so I fully intended to head any trouble off at the pass.

So I basically had the "respect my friend's pronouns or die by my sword" discussion because while he knows I'm a trans guy and had so far been chill, I didn't know if that extended to all trans people.

What I did not expect was for him to pull an uno reverse on me and invite his two trans woman friends to game with us as well and did a "no no, *you* respect *my* friends' pronouns or die by *my* sword".

When I was working at Petco, one of my coworkers came to me having a total panic and anxiety meltdown and when I finally got them to tell me what was going on, the revealed they had sought me out because they were having Transgender Feelings and wanted advice. I ended up giving them my old binders that were too small for me but a perfect fit for them, and one of my roommates gave them their first masc haircut.

A few weeks later a customer speaking Spanish was saying many nasty things about my coworker and reacting with disgust. Another coworker- a cis gay man who speaks fluent Spanish- came to get me first so I could pull the other coworker away while he effectively cussed them out in Spanish. He told us the sparknotes version of the English translation and it was mostly horrifically transphobic drivel. My coworker had responded mostly neutrally to me being trans, but for him to be visibly steamed the rest of the day over my other coworker definitely bumped my respect for him.

And I've talked about how a cis lesbian friend of mine visibly bristles at anyone she even thinks is being shitty to me about being trans to the point of making them splutter and back down.

A cishet woman I am only sort of acquaintances with once caught me wincing at being she/her'd at a trial and asked if that had been happening all day. When I responded the affirmative, she stormed off and I didn't see her the rest of the day. The next day, any time anyone referred to me there was an audible pause before a deliberate choice to choose masc versions.

Another trans woman who is a friend of mine once beat up a bully for calling her trans boyfriend a heshe when they were in schooling together.

It's about holding the line. It's about making the active choice to show up for each other. And it's about linking hands and refusing to budge.

If you cannot hold the line with me by your side, then we are not moving together.

being robotkin or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being techum or anything adjacent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. being neurodivergent does not give you an excuse to be pro-ai. i cannot believe that has to be said.

Generative AI is theft. It's also a huge waste of electricity and water.

I'm not the most knowledgeable on it but I know it's nothing but the next techbro scam that's going to waste billions of dollars across the world for stolen and incorrectly regurgitated information and art.

All my homies hate AI.

some of y’all bout to be real mad at me. but it must be said. some of the shit u call corny/cringy is actually just genuine/cute/sweet and y’all r just afraid of expressing any type of positive emotion

anyways if you grew up as a fat little girl and ended up as a fat trans man, you should get 10000$ in emotional compensation because holy fuck people are cruel

my little brother tried to show me a "cool trick" where he entered my name and hometown into chatgpt and tried to get it to pull up my personal info like it did on all of his friends, then was absolutely shocked when it couldn't find anything on me

so. keep practicing basic internet safety, guys. it still works. don't put your personal info on social media, keep all your accounts on private, turn off ai scraping on every site that you can, enable all privacy features on social media apps. our info still can be protected, we have to keep fighting for control

“kids spend too much time on their devices” well what else are they supposed to do? there’s no corner shops with pinball machines in them on every corner anymore. there’s no malls or stores in small towns for teens to hang out in without being suspected of shoplifting or kicked out for loitering. sidewalks are too broken for them to ride their bikes and there’s no bike lane in the street to make it safe for them. i just don’t understand where they expect these kids to go when they keep taking places away from them. and yes having no safe public places for them is what leads a lot of teens into addiction if they end up at a place where people aren’t truly looking out for them.

Just an experiment. Reblog if you actually give a fuck about male victims of domestic violence and rape.

Of fucking course

What sick bastard doesn’t

“You’d be surprised”, said Xaldien, who just lost four followers and received a lovely “men can’t be raped” anon shortly after reblogging this the first time.

If you Dont reblog this if u see it then i cant call u my friend

IF ANYONE TELLS ME THAT MEN CAN’T BE VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE, I AM SICKENED BY THEIR MERE PRESENCE ON MY BLOG.

If you disagree with me, unfollow my blog, block me and never look at my blog again.

If you want to debate about this or send anon’s about this, I will reply but your actions have consequences.

Out of 19000+ followers I have, only one of you actually reblogged about this issue, yet a lot of you have reblogged and liked a picture by playboy about catcalling and that how men should never do it.

Additionally, I have received abuse in my ask box (which I will be answering when I can) and threats. In particular death threats and rape threats.

I can see the real problem here already. Male domestic violence and rape is just invisible in our society because we don’t want to talk about this because it just damages the status quo of this fucking website.

Please never forget male victims are real and it can happen to everyone/anyone

can we vote to kill misgoyny/the patriarchy so that people will start taking men who are victims of abuse seriously?

Even men deserve respect. They don’t need abuse and deserve love and not the other way round.

MEN CAN BE RAPED, AND IT MAKES ME SICK WHEN PEOPLE SAY THAT “Men can’t be raped“ 

MEN CAN, SADLY, BE VICTIMS OF ABUSE TOO

I am a male survivor of child sexual abuse. We are real; and it affects us the same way it does women. Maybe worse in some cases, due to patriarchal programming. Reblog this if you aren’t scared to.

It needs to be said more often. Too many live in silence and live destroyed.

TW for rape

I think covid pulled some kinda psychic ripcord for anyone already primed for political derangement. The combinaton of social isolation and algorithm-driven radicalization just broke people. Everyone I talk to has a story of some relative that nobody talks to anymore.

Your uncle used to be like, into dirt bikes, l but all he does now is come home from work and watch YouTube shorts of IDF snipers blowing up child kneecaps or ex cops ranting about how their recent divorce was caused by "international bankers." And like, it's just gonna be this until you show up at his funeral.
