Realm of the InterNutter

Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Hey, I found your fic because I adore Steam Powered Giraffe. However, seeing your excuses for the pain (that actually made me feel really...

I AM SORRY I OFFEND.  Honestly, very sorry.

I’m also trying to show what it’s like for transfolk to hear that shit from cispeople they love so that less cispeople do that. If that makes sense.

Peter does get a redemption (and I may just expand that further, IDK yet) and it’s not a complete redemption, because he’s still afraid of What Other People Will Think… which is an over-arching theme of the whole fic chain.

And it’s probably very shitty of me to hurt a trans-character in order to show cispeople exactly how shitty they can be to transfolk and why they should stop. Documenting the struggle is just as important to me as showing what good family *should* look like.

Which is why, immediately after documenting the sad-fannon-history-as-my-muse-decrees-it… I’ll be dedicating a significant amount of my time to a huge pile of WAFF in which Peter is a kind and understanding parent and the rest of the world are ignorant shitheads who may or may not let Rabbit be herself.

My muse and I get into a lot of fights about this. Obviously.

The presence of blue matter and green rock candy [as far as I understand the lore, I may have this wrong] that can power intelligent automatons doesn’t change the cruel facts of all the attitudes in 1897. Part of me kind of insisted on having accidentally-cruel things come out of Peter because he hadn’t learned better yet. Just like it’s insisting that he’s doing his utmost to fix things in the upcoming instalment.

That doesn’t make it better, now. That doesn’t make it hurt less, now. And I’m sorry as hell about that. And you’re probably tired of hearing “it gets better”… And I’m actually going to rewrite a painful portion of my next chapter because I don’t need another last-minute instalment of hurting Rabbit or anyone else.

I didn’t *need* to do that. I get it. The problem with me is that I had a bizarre compulsion to do it anyway. Because the world is a cruel place and sometimes the people we love hurt us without ever knowing that they were doing so.

I shall immediately reserve that sort of thing for my villains in future. Make certain that the vile are known as vile.

And hurry along with the redemption.

I hope I get it right.

Loving O'Ranges SO MUCH! :3

So am I.

He’s an almost 7’ tall, huge, muscular, part wolf… utter MARSHMALLOW.

In my head, he wears parachute pants and some variety of X-chest bandolier-pocket thing with his towel-cape. And he may be one of those people the other cogniscents of the Galactic Alliance just write the rules around.

eg: “If the honoured Ambassador O’Ranges is happy being HitcherWolf, then we’re letting him be HitchWolf. Yes, even at trade negotiations.”

Challenge #00441 - A066: Going With What Works

They shouldn’t’ve been surprised that there were neurodivergent Uplifted on Nufurria.  

(Can we please see an Uplifted sentient on the autistic spectrum? Because neurodiversity occurs in nonhuman species as well (ie, not trying for unfortunate implications here, but rather, any animal with the underpinnings of sentience is capable of the diversity of neural wiring experienced by humans))  

O'Ranges wasn’t much for words. He seemed to piece together what was happening from the world around him and

Geode Knitting Pattern

This is attempts number two and three at a knitted geode. I would love to spend more time on these, making wonkier shapes, more colour options, just plain bigger versions. At the moment I’d be quite happy to spend the entire year knitting rocks, I’m not sure that the website would keep getting hits if I did though…

You must have a very interesting will.
If by “will” you mean “elaborate post-mortem interactive treasure map on my spare hard drive”, then yes. – RecklessPrudence

“Good Morning!” Mary cheered.

The man who bought her to ‘make his life better’ moaned and turned over in bed.

She no longer had functioning hands to rip the covers off him. Just virtual representations of the hands she used to create art with. So she turned off

Dead Diary,

Walter Guy Sam and I did a lot of work in the lab today. It was mostly cleaning of tools, organizing of parts, and other dirty work that had to be done by somebody.

This process also involved refilling oil cans, and I suppose I shouldn’t have picked a light

I saw your answer to an ask about the fic series you’re writing and I can see where you’re coming from, but the thing that makes me uncomfortable is the idea that rabbit just sort of has to deal with that dysphoria for like 100 years? Even tho peter’s eventually going to stop being a dick about it I’m pretty sure the regenderation change only canonically happened in the past few months of this

Challenge #00438 - A064: That's a Bad Motto

Hey, you know my motto - live fast, die young, and leave a corpse they gotta wear hazmat suits when they cremate. – RecklessPrudence

Triibo boggled at the human salvage operator. “You live by this creed?”

“Ev'ry damn day,” smiled the Human.

“Now I know why they call you Teymour the Really Mad.”

“You’d be surprised how often I end up hearing that,” said Teymour.

“No I wouldn’t.”

in your series of peter/iris fics i noticed you tend to characterize peter as rather transphobic and misogynistic, i understand he learns...

There’s such a thing as absorbing hateful things without having them known as hateful. In my head cannon, Peter is rather isolated and has intense trouble adapting to things that are the exact opposite of everything he’s learned in academia. He’s learned that the world fits frame A and everything outside of that is, at the very least, disturbing.

For instance: Bobby is a man with Down’s Syndrome. You can bet money that there
