Wishin' I was Fishin'
Howdy. Name's Coyote, I'm a 25 y/o banjo player, bluegrass fanatic, and former computational physics major turned IT worker. Texalachian, still living rurally. I write and very occasionally make art as well. I have a strong attachment to my characters and largely write them because it's cheaper than therapy. Expect incoherent rambling, bluegrass songs, character analysis deep dives, and Appalachian English. Thanks for stopping by.

Trump voters and fascists.
If you try to get me involved in online discourse you're getting blocked. I am here to spend my 2 hours of daily free time writing with my friends, and that is all.
That's literally it. I do have more guidelines and boundaries below, though.

Terminology I'm Cool With
Hi! As you've probably read by now, I'm intersex. Society has always tried to push me into one category or the other, starting with genital mutilation as a child. I have both medical and social trauma as a result of growing up with a body which has elements of both sex categories. But despite all efforts to socially & medically force me into something binary, neither my body nor my gender are binary.As a result, the way I relate to concepts like attraction, trans and cis, transfem and transmasc, and tma/tme are complex. I find personal empowerment in labels which, at a glance, may seem contradictory. But as someone who has been both mutilated into the binary and withheld social acceptance into it, who has been on both feminizing and masculinizing hormones, who is regularly mistaken for both a trans woman and a trans man, and who is now trying to remedy my relationship to my own body and identity after it was robbed of me at birth, "contradictory" labels are healing to me. They allow me to exist as myself, as both, rather than one or the other.After all, am I truly transgender if I'm trying to return to the way I was born? In a way, I am trans, because I am going through all of the same experiences with social/medical transition, and am departing from the gender I was coerced into and raised as. But there is empowerment in identifying as cisgender as well, as an acknowledgement of what my original sex was β perhaps there's even some power in the term "detransitioning," as an acknowledgement of medical violence.Similar logic applies to most facets of identity, for me. It's a huge clusterfuck. I'm just trying to navgiate my identity in a world which is so hostile to it that they cut it out of me and kept it a secret for most of my life β so abominable and confounding is intersexuality that the child themself must not know.This SHOULD go without saying, but my choice to identify with complex labels does not reflect on how I feel others do or should relate to them. This is a personal journey of grief, self-discovery, and healing. If you turn my identity into an argument about category theory, I will block you. I've had enough of other people telling me what group I "actually" belong to, thanks.When dealing with myself and with other intersex people, I ask that you be gentle, be understanding, and be nuanced, because god knows the world isn't. Some intersex people may identify with these labels, but never assume that, and don't throw around these terms willy-nilly. Some are reclaimed slurs, others carry medical trauma for many. But personally:You may call me a hermaphrodite (slur), so long as it's in a non-hateful context.In the same vein, you may call me a fag, a dyke, or queer, again provided the context is non-hateful.You may not use the term "DSD" (disorder of sexual development) in reference to me. (I do not care if some orgs are changing it to 'differences.' The acronym is still heavy.)You may not use the tma/tme binary on me. It just doesn't fucking map onto this situation. Trying to apply it to a body which was forced through a feminizing sex change would be a problem of infinite recursion. (And it doesn't even work for many perisex people, either!)You may consider me transgender, if you want. Our rights (and lack thereof), experiences, and struggles have significant overlap, and I am experiencing transition currently. It isn't a one-to-one mapping, and there are significant struggles with conflation, but make no mistake: I love y'all, I support y'all, and I will do anything for y'all.You may call me either transmasc or transfem. Both are fitting. :)If you took the time to read all this, thank you!! I'd give you a hug if I could.
Boundaries and Stuff
Exempting my personal Tumblr, all of my accounts are all RP accounts, first and foremost β with very occasional meta/parody posts (as in, the character is using the platform). The latter mostly comes in the form of referencing the timeline, and are one-off shitposts.My accounts all explore non-lewd, but heavy topics. Including but not limited to: physical and emotional trauma, including trauma incurred in childhood; late stage addiction from both an internal and external perspective; grief processing; existentialism; nihilism; substance abuse, both past and ongoing; religious trauma; homelessness; divorce; depression and suicidality.Minors are welcome to follow at their own discretion, but understand that if you are a minor I will not be writing these themes in detail with you. There is also a solid chance that I might not follow back or interact at all if you are sixteen or below, because I am in my mid-twenties and that shit makes me uncomfortable.Non-RP accounts are welcome to follow, but follow-backs are selective. I need to be able to see what my fellow writers are posting; that's the reason I'm here. If I have too much miscellaneous stuff in my feed it'll actively impede my ability to follow what's happening.In that same vein, I am follow-for-follow with RP accounts. But if you're someone who posts extremely frequently (like one post a minute kinda frequent), I'm going to mute you. I've gotta be able to see what my other mutuals are doing. You are, however, still welcome to interact! (And give me patience on the follow back, especially for Twitter. That broken-ass app barely ever notifies me.)Fanon with regard to the main universe squicks me out, especially when conflated with canon. For my own comfort I'm probably gonna mute you if: you erase Emma-May as a problem woman, especially if you say "she deserved better" while you do it anyway; if you post cheating memes or call Ford a homewrecker, especially when he is (canon) aroace; if you believe/propagate the "Tate is a villain" narrative; if you post hate about Mabel; if you write Bill as a smol soft uwu glorbo; if you flashbang me with tiktok-tier analysis unironically and uncritically. I can handle it in moderation and I swear to god I do respect personal interpretations. You're welcome to interact with me and I will probably be happy write with you. It's more that I can't handle my squicks 24/7, and I need to be able to prepare myself to handle fanon, rather than have an endless stream of it whenever I open the app.The above only applies to fanon of the main universe. AUs, OCs, and crossovers are are not AT ALL a squick and are more than welcome all the time; c'mere let me cherish your creativity!!!Speaking of endless streams of shit, threads! My muse is a bitch. Sometimes I won't have the brain cells to write a certain character for weeks on-end, or I can only write them in specific situations, and then it'll flip. I answer threads immediately or in 3-15 business days. Check to see if your response is bookmarked. If it is, then it isn't forgotten, it's just safely stored away. If it isn't bookmarked, chances are Twitter didn't notify me. In either case, you can always ping me by liking my last response; I don't mind. :)Strong preference for literate descriptive writing. As you can tell, I'm one verbose bastard. Sorry.My DMs are always open, both for plotting and for casual chatting. I promise I am friendly!Shipping is not the point of any of my accounts, but it is possible (EXCEPT with Ford). However, for me to really enjoy it and get invested in it, it's gonna have to be slow burn with heavy chemistry. DMs to discuss it and plot it out are a requirement. OCs and crossovers are welcome in this arena, too β but if you are an OC writer please have lore ready to go, or at least in mind. I am someone who needs to have a solid understanding of the character I'm writing against: their past, their motivations, their hopes and sorrows. This is especially the case if we intend to ship. And believe me there is very little I love more than thought-out, in-depth OCs. Grabby hands GIMME. All of my characters are ace spectrum and bi/pan (again, except for Ford).Have patience with me. I work full-time, am busy literally 12 hours a day thanks to the commute and the shift itself, and on top of that notifications tend to overwhelm me so my phone is on do not disturb for at least 13 hours out of every day. I love y'all but I will be present in this space only when I am prepared for it, because survival comes first.
