Right, so it’s about time I stopped slacking and made a pinned post
Hi, I’m Isolde, but I also go by Izzy or Rain. I’m a multi-instrumentalist and aspiring voice actor, or in other words, “Unemployed”. My pronouns are She/they, I’m 26 years old, Trans, hesitantly poly, vaguely bisexual, and am currently dating my wonderful idiot gf @maniacallaughter
I’ll post just about any old horseshit I feel like, including but not limited to: Warhammer, Music, memes, hornyposting, and so on.
There will be 18+ stuff here, and while I can’t stop minors from liking, reblogging, etc. I kindly ask that you don’t interact with me for both of our sakes.
I don’t really like putting all of my personal information out in the open, so if you’d like to know more about my hobbies, kinks, musical tastes, or whatever suits your fancy, feel free to hop into my DMs/ask box for a chat.
I despise social media by and large, and will probably stay on Tumblr until they decide to kill me for it, but in light of recent events I’ve decided to make a cohost and a sharky account where you can find me.
I BLOCK BLANK BLOGS, PORN BLOGS, SISSY BLOGS, AND BIGOTS. MOVE ON OR BECOME A BETTER PERSON.
eventually you realize you don’t want to die. you just don’t want to live the life you’re living. and slowly you try to create a life you want to live. just gotta start there.
no one needs to add “sounds fake but ok”, “no”, “well, not me”, “impossible”, etc. to this post. and i’d rather you not.
one day you think: I want to die.
and then you think, very quietly: actually. actually. I think I want a coffee. a nap. a sandwich. a book.
and I want to die turns day by day into I want to go home, I want to walk in the woods, I want to see my friend, I want to sit in the sun
I want a cleaner kitchen
I want a better job
I want to live somewhere else
I want to live
The thing to understand is that Depression
Even When It Is Trying to Kill You!
Is Defensive.
Your brain exists to preserve you; it’s just Dumb, and how it goes about “preserving” is determined by evolution’s ‘Good Enough’ meat-and-chemistry mechanisms rather than a firm grasp of biology.
You know how, stuck atop a burning building, ppl will sometimes throw themselves off in a vain hope of surviving? That’s what depression-driven suicide is. You are under THAT amount of stress, often sustained for a FAR longer time. Your brain only understands “Stress”: it doesn’t know causes, it doesn’t know Events, and it only has the one set of instinctive ‘extreme measures’ to fall back on. I made things SO hard on myself for SO Long conceiving of Depression as a Fight I had to Win, rather than a chronic illness in need of my understanding and careful management.
Help your brain. Nurse it. Ask yourself where it hurts and why. Recognize that the desire to die is a symptom, an injury, and not your ‘Truth’. Try to calm it, Try to endure: It WILL Pass. As perverse as it sounds, your desire to die is an expression of how PASSIONATELY you want to get away from the pain tormenting you; of how MUCH you want to LIVE. PLEASE Live!
Trans women are intentionally misgendered, threatened and called pedophiles, and are the targets of callout/vague posts every single week in here. It’s not “just staff and terfs”
Since February 19th: Tumblr’s CEO, photomatt, made a statement about predstrogen’s (unfair) termination, misgendering her and threatening to call the FBI on her (archived screenshots). Then, on February 20th: he continued to harass Rita on Twitter
Following this, multiple other trans women were terminated due to their criticism of staff’s and photomatt’s handling of this situation, like: milf-adjacent, catgirldick, nebulaaaaaa, jammerjenny, yaoivriskaforever, 8millionsystem, trans-kitty-meow, mozzarella-firefox, rulerofpurple, gay-satan-3, catgirlpunishedshaft
On February 21st: dykemacabre accused Kara (a member of Cohost’s staff) of being a pedophillic furry and a lolicon, blaming her for allowing “cub porn” on the platform, which was a lie; the site doesn’t allow that, and the post was quickly proven to be intentionally misleading. After being caught, dykemacabre apologized for part of the post, but doubled down, later deactivating
On February 27th: ardourie (formerly known as neotrances, well-known transmisogynist) began harassing enemy-viv over a post about Aaron Bushnell’s online identity (like his username and use of pronouns on YouTube/Reddit/Discord,) which lead to people accusing Viv of “transvestigating” Aaron’s online presence (while misusing that word) and spreading lies about Viv. She deactivated due to the harassment and has stated that she won’t come back
On March 8th: roadhogsbigbelly (who accused txttletale [January 10th] and Gretchen Felker-Martin [February 1st] of being pedophiles) doubled down several times while arguing with different people about “not misgendering” a trans girl (after vagueing her), while misgendering her multiple times
This happens every week
Almost every single week there is a new callout, a new harassment campaign, new anons spreading rumours/misinformation, and more people comfortably vagueing and misgendering trans women
It’s not just staff and terfs
On March 25-30th: a Best Piece of Queer Media poll about Homestuck and Dykes to Watch Out For is made, and a lot of people vote for Homestuck , which leads to death threats being posted in the tags and comments of the poll, directed at Homestuck, its fans and Andrew Hussie

Following this, ardourie (Yes. ardourie again) began harassing plaidos (who had also spoken up about the death threats sent over the Best Piece of Queer Media poll, as seen above), over a Homestuck workshop she was organizing, where they were discussing the racism in Homestuck (not a “racist workshop”). plaidos also spoke about how ardourie and his friends/followers have been harassing her despite her having blocked them

I hope I don’t have to keep updating this list.
On April 15th: ceaselesswatcher-98 accused several transfem bloggers of “perpetuating harassment and mass reporting campaigns, falsely branding people as TERFs, and reblogging from/being mutuals with self-admitted pedophiles (and racists)” in a 150+ page document containing screenshots of transfem bloggers who have interacted with other “problematic bloggers”

As of April 17th, myself and other people have been informed of this callout and have spoken up against the document

This is fucking exhausting. I guess this will be a monthly occurrence, so stay tuned in and see you next month
“xyz trans woman is cancelled check my three-digit page callout doc detailing tumblr incestposting and homestuck racism” is quite possibly the least interesting discourse ever conceived in the history of earth history
you could have spent that time writing fiction or learning how to use famitracker or making a brennen lee mulligan supercut with way too many “wacky-editor-text-overlay-comments” or making floral ice cream or riding a bike or having a vulnerable conversation with your friends. i am being entirely sincere when i say taking up alcoholism is a healthier use of your time
