See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

I realized I don’t have a pinned post, so…here is a pinned post, I guess?

  • Hi, I’m Nevi, though I won’t be mad if you forget and just call me Afniel. I’ve also gone by Moppy since 1998 and that’s still how I sign my art.
  • I’m an ace+arospec but also pan nonbinary genderqueer robotgender trans man, which is only the short version of it because gender and attraction are a complicated fuck like that. He/him/his or they/them/theirs are both legit. It/it/its, bit/bit/bits, and bot/bot/bots are especially cool if you’re super chill with Weird Gender Shit.
  • I’m in my 40s, so if that’s something you don’t want to interact with, I respect that and won’t be mad if you block me. This is generally a safe-for-life blog now, though I do swear a lot. It wasn’t always SFW/SFL so beware if you scroll back in the archives too far. I’ve changed a lot since starting it.
  • I don’t have a DNI, I don’t go looking for DNIs, and I will definitely not notice your DNI. If you don’t want to interact, don’t. If I don’t, I won’t. Very simple. You may block me if that’s not acceptable.
  • If you absolutely cannot function without a DNI or full list of stances on various topics that aren’t your business, please just assume I am the most horrid and disgusting monster you’ve ever met with every bad option and yucky fetish that can be found in the world, and kindly do not bother me. You can read on under the cut, but if you’re already this kind of person, I doubt you’ll like what you find.
  • I’m disabled and have chronic pain and fatigue, mostly from fibromyalgia.
  • I’ve also got the ADHDtism so don’t be surprised if I’m overly literal, miss the point, or if I’m extremely fucking funny at words (evidently this is a real side effect, lmao).
  • I’ve got some kind of Traumatic Dissociative Thing and I’m definitely a system of some type (I don’t want it diagnosed on paper for reasons and I’ve got it pretty well managed). I’m the only one of me who currently blogs here but that might change at some point.
  • Less important stuff under the cut!
  • Pro-all types of systems. I was not born onto this earth for such a brief and brilliant time to waste it telling people that I know what goes on in their head better than they do, and I don’t think anybody else was, either. Endogenic, traumagenic, whatevergenic, I don’t discriminate by origin and I support anybody in need of support; I just believe and support people when they tell me how they are.
  • The relationships between fiction, reality, censorship, freedom, responsibility, and harm are far too complex to reduce to any single ‘think of the children!’ type of argument. I do not trust any government in the world to censor the 'right’ things, and I do not think censorship is ever right, nor is harassment an acceptable behavior. Proship, not just as in 'in support of imagining whatever the fuck and leaving others in peace about whatever they’re imagining, because thoughtcrimes aren’t real and only actual harm to real people matters’ (not “problematic ship,” which it has literally never meant, except as used by people intentionally changing the definition in very bad faith to make themselves seem morally superior/justified), but also in the 'I couldn’t care less about shipping itself, but shipping is only the absolute smallest corner of the issue’ way.
  • I’m pagan but I’ve gotten so lazy about it. I actually used to blog mostly about that and witchcraft. True story. It’s been a while though and I mostly don’t now. When I am feeling like Doing A Paganism, I work primarily with Lilith, in a way that strictly preserves her identity as a Jewish demon. If that troubles you, you are free to ask me respectfully about it, but I’ve been hers for well over a decade and that will not be changing. I also work with Hermes, and occasionally Djehuty.
  • Gatekeepers are such a lame concept in general. If you consider yourself one, consider reconsidering, because that’s a shit hobby to build a personality around.
  • Xenogenders and neopronouns are fine actually, and clearly not just for children, as I’m in my 40s and using them. It is important to try to make it easy enough for non-native speakers and those with language difficulties, but don’t use those with language barriers as props for bigotry either.
  • I draw and the art mostly goes on @moppy-art.
  • I write and that goes here under #Nevi Writes, and on AO3 as Afniel.
  • I’m a nonhuman weirdo and that goes on @actias-android.
  • I’m working (slowly) on a whole entire classic Mega Man fangame from the ground up starring Roll, and that goes on @megaman-r.
  • Vidya james meems go on @moon-lord-big-naturals.
  • The Mega Man hyperfixation hellscape blog is @being-so-normal-about-reploids.
  • 日本語も喋る✌️大学で勉強して札幌に住んでいて群馬県に住んでいたけどもう下手だ。許してくれwwwww草
  • Je parle un peu de français mais ça fait 20+ ans que je ne l'utilize pas donc je l'ai oublié lmao
  • 我学汉语学的很差。But I’ve got over a year streak going in HelloChinese and I can kinda break my Chinese-speaking friends’ brains via Discord now so there’s that! (Even if it’s mostly because I’m learning mainland and they’re Taiwanese…)
  • This blog is ancient. If you keep scrolling back, you are, guaranteed, going to encounter uninformed opinions, outdated information, and bad takes. That’s just life. You live and, hopefully, you learn. If you run into anything you’re uncertain about here, you can always send me an ask about it, though you’ll likely need to include a link so I know what you’re referencing because as I said, this blog is old. I definitely don’t remember everything I’ve said here over the past 10+ years.

It probably looks like I’m not writing because I keep Not Posting Much (okay there was the smut/backstory combo with its all of 9 hits so far, but hey one kudos, thank you brave soul!) but it’s like, no actually I’m working on a bunch of shit? It’s just all trying to become really long…and succeeding. Like. Look at this.

  • X adopts Velguarder and a whole bunch of MMX1-2 happens also — 49,074 words, and this is what I’m currently mainly focused on right now. Agile was so fun to write. Sucks that he dies! He’s funny!
  • Dynamo’s sad space cowboy backstory — 15,059 words but somehow it feels a lot longer. There’s a lot happening. The science research I’ve had to do for it has been intense. Asteroid belt mining is an insane task to make sound realistic and I could just not do that, but I don’t know how to half-ass sci-fi, and if I didn’t name one guy Dynamo and use the word ‘reploid’ a bunch of times this would straight-up be original hard sci-fi at this point.
  • X does some freelance detective work aka The F4nfic — 27,752 words and it needs a lot of rework to continue, but it is technically a fourth main story…
  • An entire literal novel that’s just X figuring out his new relationship with his body via a whole lot of weird robot sex and also sometimes going to therapy — 114,440 words, what the fuck. Also needs some heavy work and an ending, but it’s like…yeah it’s 75% sex, but I really love it as a character study too. Expect this one to eventually happen, but I have SO MUCH editing to do first.

So yeah I’m ass-deep in WIPs. I swear they’ll all come out someday. But they’re all shaping up to be longfic, some of them very very goddamn long, so it’s gonna be a bit. But in the meantime, have an excerpt from each under the cut even because I feel like showing off but they’re long.

Uggghhh. Weird pain in my right side, either where my gallbladder is or where my ascending colon bends. Been there since I woke up yesterday with this plus horrible gas pains (going to the bathroom helped), gets worse with pressure, and also my IBS has been very unhappy. I might actually have to call the doc about this one but I don’t want to do that and I hate using the phone and it’s all making me very anxious. Which is not helping the stomach sitch. >:[

It’s a very dull pain and doesn’t feel like anything when I’m not moving, unless I’ve got some digestive movement going on right at that spot or I inhale fully, and then it’s minor discomfort and fairly brief. No fever, only other symptom is being extremely bloated and having an IBS flare on top of it all. So I have no idea. You’d think gallbladder, but lying on my right side feels better instead of worse? I’ve had a random case of gastritis once that imitated appendicitis so well I ended up in the ER, and I wonder if I don’t just have that again, but if it lasts through tomorrow or I feel worse I’m just gonna make myself call I think.

he had to jump in the ballpit to cool off after getting all airplane ears over a treat puzzle that proved a little too advanced

he's done this a few times now. the ball pit actively soothes him when he gets mad over puzzles. i could learn something from this

Y'all have got to stop using Shinigami Eyes. It's been co-opted by multiple exclusionary groups at this point, and like with 99% of the other interactions you will be having with people, you need to decide for yourself whether that is someone you want to be able to interact with you.

You cannot out source your critical thinking skills like that. Bad actors will abuse these systems to manipulate control for themselves.
