You know, it probably says something about me that I look at this and think "what other kind of toxic yuri is there?"

~ Psychosexual Trauma ~
Your story doesn't need to be a deep dive analysis, but think about the overlap of gender, sexuality and trauma and how that all informs the growth of a person's essential self, gender and sexuality.

Here is what I have: the thread in which you disavowed defending Jemma and a screenshot you once shared of the accusations in DMs. I recall no specifics given. Just vague assertions that she "groomed" someone and that she's a danger. She was mass harassed based on secret evidence until she deleted.

Twitter thread from TransSalamander on Aug 25, 2020

A couple months ago I had a big thread defending a former friend (@/Riotgrrrljemma). Since then I've been made aware of additional information that made me realize I made the wrong call defending her.

I'm sorry.

I've been asked by the people she hurt not to dig this back up. They want to move on, and I want to respect that.

But I also felt it was important to make a public statement about this. I betrayed the trust of some friends and I want them to know that I'm sorry.

If it's alright with everyone, I'd like to not talk about this too much more, which is why I've turned off replies. It really hurts to have been betrayed by a friend like this.

Please don't DM me for more details. It's done and over. I fucked up and I'm sorry.

The remainder of the thread:

(One of the people Jemma hurt asked that I delete the thread defending Jemma. I never know whether it's better to delete stuff like that and risk making it look like I'm hiding something or keep it up and continue to hurt people by it. So I had someone else make that call)

I'd like to show this thread to the mutuals who blocked me over this, but I'm not about to share their names or anything. If you ever happen to see people saying I took Jemma's side, I'd appreciate directing them here.

I'm not owed forgiveness. I'd just like them to know.

Screenshot of DMs.

Anonymous other party: I would probably keep details to a minimum. Express that there was a lot of deception and grooming, but mayb leave it at that. She can't be trusted.

Kathryn: Would you be okay with me just sharing what you said? Like, copy paste? Just to make sure I'm doing right by all this. I can mention you're close to one of the victims. Again, privately. Only to friends who DM and ask.

Anonymous: You can mention I was close to both Jemma and the victim and was lied to by Jemma about the direct relationship and actions that were made clear by the victims for what they were. Screenshot of it makes it easier.

Amazing parting shot when someone is not sure they quite got *all* the squares on the white fragility bingo card before blocking me. Truly an all-time response to someone explaining that intentions don't matter, the effects you have on others do.

A reply from "Blackjack Gabbiani"

Intentions are everything. And now it's suddenly RACIST to say that a statement that applies to everybody applies to everybody? That's the OPPOSITE of racist oh my god.

You have no intention of trying to teach. You just want to whine.

The Arachnixe Entity@fungalhalo· May 13

Well, it started like this, and continued to go downhill as I refused to use her preferred language and she refused to engage with anything except the most superficial characteristics of my phrasing, lashing out incoherently. You're better off not seeing this garbage.

My post: Because misandry is not a society-wide axis of oppression, "transmisandry" doesn't quite mean the same sort of thing. It doesn't mean trans men don't have distinct challenges, it's just not an equivalent framework for analysis. This gets flattened into "transmisandry doesn't exist" by some folks.

Valerie, some rando: that's because it doesn't

A month later, Valerie again: Someone hit like on this a month later, and the person writing the reply ignored me (expected, misandry-truthers hate reality), I had to figure out what the context was

Just a trans man who desperately wants to call trans women, men lol

Anyway, misandry isn't real, fuckers

This game is amazing. Also, by the way, if I lose to myself, there's a wonderfully fucked up bad end scene. If only I could reciprocate when I win!

The protagonist stands in front of the bleeding corpse of herself. Sluph, the goat-like demon party member, asks "Uhhh, you okay? You look kinda shaken, Red"

The possible responses are:
I just killed myself (shaken)
I just killed myself (accepting)
I just killed myself (aroused)

The Arachnixe Entity@fungalhalo· May 7

Also also... there are *extended* bad-end sequences that hit me very hard in my weak points. Like when you lose the fight to a hot spider and she lays her eggs in you...

A monstrous spider descends from the ceiling. Of note, unlike most "sexy spider" women in games, this one has a fully monstrous bug face. She addresses the protagonist, saying:

How cute. It means it will be incorporated into our family.

You couldn't see it in the dark. Her mouth is separated into several chelicerae that move and contort to lisp out a semblance of words. Sticky blue ichor hangs from each joint as she articulates to you with a hiss.

The Arachnixe Entity@fungalhalo· May 7

Also the writing and art are fun as hell. The imps are freaks.

A curvaceous red imp propositions the protagonist:
I want some blood. Tasty girl blood! Give me just a taste of that flesh of yours, and I'll do whatever you want.
(-200 HP, +Bleeding)

The imp says, "C'mere, cutie! I'm gonna milk ya! Fwehe!"

The imp says, "Mmm.. That was tasty! I can't believe you just let me do that. You don't even know my name! Thanks, slut!"

Not to belabor the point excessively, but the following post got reblogged onto my dash today, and it's a clear-cut example of how some of these posters hop onto any transfem positivity post to claim it's "transandrophobic" simply by being about transfems. Things are bad on Tumblr.

Tumblr post by transandrophobiaexpose which itself screenshots a reply thread between trans women to label it an "example of Tumblr's transandrophobia" with the commentary "Apparently no one gives a shit about transmascs even though they're one of the most vulnerable populations on earth." The screenshotted thread reads:

missestrogen: As white girls, you need to make friends with more Black girls, okay? Promise you will. All the things you struggle with, loneliness, abandonment, are going to be even more true for her. So try to make friends with that Black tgirl. And be respectful. You have to be there for her.

storyweavingspider replies: Fun fact: 20% of nonblack people with more than three friends don't have any Black friends.

This skews recent, but the problem with some of the games that once were important to me is that they (or their creators) really didn't age well.

Once upon a time, in the year 2021, I tweeted a fic that went weirdly viral. The later follow-up that I wrote lacked teeth, and so I disappointed myself with it. This is a very different follow-up which I'm much more satisfied with in that respect. fungalhalo.com/stories/unbu...

The caress of a soft hiss coaxes me from torpor with gentle insistence. It is, at first, the universe of my awareness. Yet not for long. New sensations creep in. An aching, bone-deep chill permeates my body. Sounds, initially indistinct, slowly resolve into voices, though I cannot see their source.

I have committed an act of fanfiction. Please forgive me. For whatever it's worth, this story demands no particular knowledge of the source material beyond the basic premise: In 1862, London was magically transported into a giant, unusually haunted cave.

This is, otherwise, your standard arachnixe fare. A shitty lesbian with selfcestuous inclinations goes through the identity wiggler, and also there are spiders. If you are among my usual audience, I don't expect you to need the concept of arachnid hive-minds explained to you, even if you've never heard of "sorrow-spiders" or their councils before.

Once we were whole. Complete. In perfect union. Then came the “infection.” A severance of the infected. The creation of we-who-were-not-us.

Before we touched him, we did not understand that humans might have certain irregularities of the mind—uncontrolled, obsessive patterns that could not be devoured without altering ourselves in unforeseen ways. We learned from terrible experience. How we raged as our aggregate arachnid mind was peeled, restructured, driven to the ragged edge of destruction!

To save ourselves from its spread, we severed and exiled us.

Sleep’s departure rakes its claws across my mind, drawing forth a groan of dismay and dumping me, disoriented, into another rough morning. Of course, with curtains drawn, it’s easy enough to ignore the sun’s opinion of what time of day it might actually be—the two of us haven’t been on speaking terms since I got sick.

I sit up, scrubbing at my face with hands still heavy with sleep. But something about it feels off. Wrong. Fingers trace unfamiliar lumps and angles, run through hair just a little too wavy to be right. A groan of complaint escapes me. With joints popping, I heave myself upright.

First the nightstand: ring and amulet atop it, staff leaning against. It would be foolish to leave behind my armaments, even on a trip across a hallway to the bathroom.

The door creaks open with a sound like a sharp-toothed smile, expressing amusement at some joke I’m not supposed to be privy to. Still, I’m not so blind as my enemies would have me believe, and I don’t need to read the omens splattered in water stains around the sink to feel that something nasty is coming. Someone’s attention pours through the window’s unblinking stare, but I brandish the ring on my hand to ward it away so I may inspect myself in the mirror.

Whoever that is across the glass—staring at me with haggard face, eyes blinking and bleary—is a complete stranger to me, recognizable only by the presence of my amulet dangling below the neck. With a sigh, I mentally lower my expectations for the day down a notch.

This is the kind of person who's extremely willing to judge the intelligence of a person based on the presence of a single error in punctuation. The Defenders of High Culture are always worthless assholes.

A screenshot from "stable strategies" saying:

honestly the best part had to be when lilith kills u qrted me like "im a lambda award-winning writer and *i* think you're full of shit!" and then used the wrong "it's" while elaborating on why. apparently i do not support all lambda writers. apparently some of you bitches are very dumb.

The Arachnixe Entity@fungalhalo· Jul 9

Yeah, in my experience white collar workers aren't all *that* skilled in language. ...although, given my results, I'm probably not suited for judging what's normal.

Your English vocabulary size is 30265. The top 0.01%. You are Shakespeare! You can even create new words that will expand the English dictionary.

I'm not completely indiscriminate in my taste, they just didn't really have much on there I felt anything other than lukewarm about. Nothing that really makes me happy like smoked brisket, seafood gumbo, chicago deep dish, or roast duck. I did thumbs down both edible gold and fish sticks though.

Food choice test results. Most categories are in the middle of the range, with upper middle class, middle class, and lower middle class slightly higher than upper and lower class. The summary says "your food choices could not be tied to any one social class."

Unfortunately my horrible sons Brently and Gristopher aren't noteworthy enough to be mentioned. Even Google is ashamed of them.

Google's AI overview about me:

"The Arachnixe Entity" appears to be a social media persona, specifically a Twitter account (@arachnixe), known for discussing and analyzing "selfcest" (the act of engaging with one's own self in a romantic or sexual way). The account's posts focus on exploring the emotional and psychological aspects of selfcest, including themes of self-absorption, self-loathing, and self-discovery.

Fallen London is an unspeakably horny game to me.

A card from Fallen London, reading:

Draw on your knowledge of poisons. You are practiced in the ancient and storied art of comprehending toxins with your tongue, your lungs, or your gut.

Increasing your kataleptic toxicology will increase the amount of research you get from this card.

An option one may select for the preceding card. It reads: Dose yourself. Some things can't be learned from a test tube. This will generate research and give you wounds.

Another option one may choose. It reads: Understand the toxins swimming in your veins. They still linger. Perhaps you and they should have a little talk. This will always generate some research. Success will decrease your wounds. Failure will increase them a little.

Huge thanks to @raccuun.bsky.social for making my favorite pairing from Hades 2 come to life. Eris is doing a great job finally breaking down Melinoë's resistance!

Eris and Melinoë are naked in the hot springs. Eris leans forward, grinning as she wraps her arms around Melinoë from behind, one hand between Mel's legs while the other hand grabs her just under the chin, turning Mel to face her. Their lips are inches apart. Melinoë grabs for the hand at her neck, but her grip is loose and uncommitted to the effort. There's uncertainty in Melinoë's expression, but she doesn't look like she's resisting.

Finding myself thinking about the Moon Stair again. It's my favorite region in Caves of Qud, and up there among my favorite video game zones of all time. The clash of hex-shaped structures drawn across the game's Cartesian grid is such an inspired way to evoke "alien geometry!"

Hexagonally aligned, magenta-tinted walls box the player into tunnels predominantly angled 120° from each other. A more typical Qud structure, with walls forming 90° angles, sits right in the middle, looking out of place.

My real world writing ambitions, right here.

Madam, this is quite an achievement. You'll excuse me if I don't shake your hand.

You are escorted from the publisher's office and questioned by constables. Your work gives nine hundred readers nightmares and closes four schools. Women scream and faint as you pass in the street.

Sales are excellent. You receive an unexpected bonus: late one night, a stranger delivers a package of bottled souls to your door. You don't see his face, but a note with the package reads: 'Best wishes - Jack'

Finally tried playing Fallen London, and I'm basically just treating it as Devil Dating Simulator.

Kindling a fire

You dress for the occasion in scarlet and gold. You present the lady with a deep red rose so perfect that it glows even in the red light of the Embassy ballroom. Do not even think about what it cost. It has the desired effect. The Deviless is charmed, and dances only with you. She guides you to the least dangerous parts of the dancefloor. Later in the evening, when the room has grown insufferably hot, she leads you by the hand to a cool, quiet garden, lit by cages of luminescent beetles and dancing fireflies. You dance again, alone, her head resting on your shoulder. Days later, you find her earrings in your pocket. They are still warm.

I might have replayed the Zerg campaign quite a lot. And also kept the Kerrigan box art in my room to look longingly at for reasons I didn't fully understand at the time.

Remembering I wrote a microfic based on this premise a few years ago... It'd be fun to revisit the idea in a longer form.

With a kiss I break the skin, and my tongue comes alive with the distinctly metallic taste of blood. The electric sensation of life itself dances in my mouth, carried by the flow. She whines and flinches, but my grip holds her firmly in place.

After a moment, she relaxes into my embrace, her arms wrapped sweetly around me for support while I sip from her body—slowly, savoring it, the gradual sensation of heat building in my mouth—until I am sated. I break the kiss, exhaling to cool my tongue from the lingering burn.

“Done already, my love?” The succubus in my arms teases. “Blood too spicy for you today?

“Never. It’s perfection as always,” I respond, sealing what remains of my bite on her neck with a gentle lick.

“My turn to feed then,” she says, her hand sliding up my dress.
