Got The Same Result As You Did ^^

⛧ SELFSHIPTOBER 2024 ⛧

HELLO ALL! welcome to another year of selfshiptober. i've noticed this is pretty much the 'official' selfship tober event now, which honestly warms my heart! i love seeing what this wonderful community does with my prompts :)

this year, i'm doing things a little differently. EACH DAY HAS TWO PROMPTS ASSIGNED TO IT. the first set is SHIPPY, while the second set is SPOOKY. you may either COMBINE THE TWO PROMPTS TOGETHER or CHOOSE ONE OF THE PROMPTS. the spooky prompts are a bit on the grittier side and probably won't appeal to most, so if you'd like to only use the first set of prompts and completely ignore the second, be my guest! on the other hand, if you prefer the gritter prompts, you can only use the second set of prompts, you can do that too! if you want an extra challenge, you can create a piece that incorporates both of the day's prompts. you can also change your approach depending on how you feel that day!

there are no hard rules for this. YOU CAN START WORKING ON THIS CHALLENGE EARLY, but i encourage you to wait until october to post anything. YOU CAN ALSO CONTINUING WORKING ON IT AFTER OCTOBER ENDS! you can drag this shit out into december for all i care. just DON'T OVERWORK YOURSELF PLEASE.

without further ado, LET US PROCEED TO THE PROMPTS!

What is a para? I have seen the term a lot in madd circles and suspect is has to do with paracosms yet people use the term to refer to what seem to be like character/ ocs like an entity? What does it mean. Could u break down the common used terms in the madd community and perhaps some other kin things or give links or find where I might find information? -from someone who also has madd

Sure, with pleasure!

In short, a para is a character in your daydream. If I recall correctly, the term was created because "oc" didn't feel fitting, as madders often spend a lot of time daydreaming, and therefore most have a special bond with their characters.

As for some other madd terms, well! (in very simple terms once again)

A paracosm is a world/storyline you daydream about!

You might also find the terms immersive daydreamer and neuronarrator around. Those are terms for vivid daydreamers who's daydreams aren't maladaptive.

A parame is the "main character" of your daydream, the one you "fol.low" during.

A paraself is a version of you in your daydream.

For more about all this (more terms, resources,...), i'd like to redirect you to @acircusfullofdemons 's Ultimate Daydreamer's Guide , it's a great resource!

For kin vocab, it's quite large but I can give a few words of info ^^

Fictionkin, fictionfolk and isofic are terms for people who kin a character or pop culture creature.

Objectkin is similarly built: it is a term for people who kin objects.

Conceptkin follows the same pattern: term for people who kin concepts (like chaos, life, death, fear,...)

Otherkin is a word for the comm unity, a bit like alterhuman. It's an umbrella term.

Therians typically refers to people who kin animals existing on this Earth.

Kinsidering is a term reffering to discovering a new kin, thinking about it.

A mental shift refers to when you have a period of time during which you think like your kintype (more so than usual)

A phantom shift refers to a period of time during which you feel your phantom limbs, aka the limbs and body parts your kintype has, but your current form doesn't.

💀 So, I tried Aethy today... 🤔

At first glance, it's quite a nice site, bit of a mix between Tumblr ^ Twitter, nice layout, quite intuitive, and the community seems nice enough.

However, there are two(ish) things that stood out to me and made me decide to not stick with it and not recommend it.

First, they allow AI art, and though it has to be labelled, there is so much that it floods the timeline. Fun fact, I don't see much AI on Tumblr apart from the bot invasions of certain tags from time to time. on the few hours I spent on Aethy, one post out of three was AI generated. That is just too much, it means a lot of users are using AI and posting that there, and as an artist that makes me feel quite unwelcomed.

Second, while I appreciate how the content warnings are implemented, something gave me pause: alterhumanity was considered a sensitive topic. Mind you, religion was too, but no other identity was. And that felt... off. Religion and beliefs can be sensitive subjects because of trauma yes, but censoring an identity that isn't spiritual in nature feels off. Then there's also the whole "all kinks, even the weirdest ones" while banning pro-para, like... Kinks are paraphilias? That makes no sense.

And I think I might have an idea why.

I wanted some opinions, so i looked it up online.

And I discovered that Aethy's mod team was deleting criticism and banning people who posted it, and answered quesries about it very rudely and with more banning. Then I discovered that mods are saying that pro-para is a label used by abusers, so everyone who uses that label must be an abuser. That makes no sense, and sounds like people who campain for censorship online saying that predators use profiction communities so the whole community grooms children.

In conclusions, the mods' rules are vague to let them moderate by personal liking rather than abiding by "safe community for adults who enjoy kink".

So yea, would not recommend it.

hai! you seem sososo cool and thank you for the follow :3 I followed you back, I LOVE the aesthetics of your blog :D
