What do you do to feel euphoric in your blood color? Do you have any tips? I feel weird and clockable wearing my symbol in my desired color, and have been mocked before for "that Homestuck shit", so if you have anything a little less overt I'd really appreciate it.
Also, what was your exploration like? I was and am afraid to be hemophobic, both internally and to trolls of other castes. How did you discover you were pink blooded?

Hm! I supposed smaller things like jewelry or maybe clothes or even a blog theme in your desired color could help? As our clothes typically correspond with the color of our blood. As does our internet presence (unless hiding it). makeup, can help. Also! Try and look into the specific caste type and any differences they had from the other castes. Try to mimic those things! Maybe make a blog?
It was.. scary, to say the least. I had always prided myself on being otherblooded, it felt like i was throwing it all alway. I understand the fear of being hemophobic, but the best way to overcome that is to be open to correction and learning. That’s the best anybody can do. It was quite a easy thing actually, I remember once, letting a friend dress me up head to toe in fancy clothes, it was mostly pink because she didn’t have.. red. But, I liked it. I’ve decided since then that I felt pink blooded, and I wasn’t going to give that up.
Does anybody remember the base of our horns being quite itchy? It would . flake? I suppose? Old horn fragments chipping off as the new permanent part grew in. I remember it was nice to get the base of your horns scratched or “preened” basically.
Fur all the trolls who do not yet know us: i am a human nekomimi & trollkin (vriska fictionkin). I'm comforta8le 8eing physically human 8ut wish to 8e purrceived as a troll and identify as such. I'm also transcerulean8lood except fur my permanosebleed identity with which i prefur to have red 8lood fur some reason. Im also transgru8scarred and quadrantromantic and i fall in h8 with just a8out every vriska i see
My headm8 @in-the-fog-i-was-alone is part human nekomimi, part troll due to 8eing a fusion of a human nekomimi and a troll. Theyre cisgold8lood and transred8lood (their identity is fluid 8etween the two, generally comforta8le 8eing seen as 8oth), orange8loodhearted, and low8loodhearted. Theyre a signless/sufferer & kankri fictionkin and super duper sentimental a8out their signless/sufferer identity. Also theyre a seer of 8lood & super annoying a8out a religion from their gold8lood source called "hemognosticism" which is a polytheistic religion with p8tron deities for each caste and more. Theyre quadrantromantic as well, t8ken in all 8ut monoflexi8le, platonically pitch with me (im simult8neously too old and too young fur their t8stes), and super hyperashen
Collectively we're transtrollcultural, pancaste, & transhemognostic. How succinct!
I still have some troll mannerisms in me, but i’m not sure how much of this is collective, seeing as I was very disordered.
Small twitches of the neck, especially in irritation and stress, it feels like i’m still flaring up my ears and similar muscles.
Or constantly checking my fingers and stretching them because sometimes the exoskeleton gets stiff and stuck.

Sprry for the random vent. That just, was one of the worst panic attacks we’ve had in months, and we’ve been seizing lately. I get so scared we’re getting worse, I don’t want to fail. And.. what am I supposed to do in this economy, I’m getting so much worse , i can’t even handle a solid week of school without getting drained. Disability is kicking my ass. I can’t live as a disabled person in here. I don’t have a good cane, the one I have is too tall (unadjustable) and doesn’t have a rubber tip, so it slides. Not to mention that a day without my medication could literally send me into a psychotic break, and i’m going to be moving soon, possibly loose my medication. I know I say i’m working hard, but i’m really not. I’m trying, sure, but it’s not nearly enough. I can’t give my all without leaving myself worthless for the next few days, but i *need* to give my all or i’ll fail.
I’m just scared. Nobody needs to reply to this, I just needed to get it out there. Off my chest.
No typing quirk for this, Recovering from a panic attack and flashback, that was.. awful. I can’t wait to move out.
I do not know how.. scaray it is, because I do not have money.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF QUADRANTS WHEN IN COMPARISON TO HUMAN ROMANCE?
No typing quirk for this one.
I believe that human and troll romance is completely different, we all grew up with different standards and culture regarding love. Human love is nice, but I believe it’s lacking a lot of stuff, everybody feels love differently, and yet they don’t have terms for it, which can leave people feeling alone. Quadrants aren’t perfect, but they definitely help. And there are always different noncanon quadrants for people to use.
Thank you. We’re alright for now. I just need to take our meds before we get to bed. Thank you for your concern.
9h dear, I ap9l9gize f9r all that was p9sted 9n my 6l9g while i was away.
“Isn’t this spam?”
No, it’s not. This is a real, vetted campaign for a family in urgent need. I know the tags and asks might be annoying to some, and others may see this as spam. Some are even triggered by the cause itself or by my friend’s name. I’ve also received plenty of negative comments and messages.
But none of that will stop me. Tumblr is a way to reach people, and I will keep trying.
“Why multiple accounts?” Tumblr has strict limitations on posts, asks, and replies. If one account isn’t enough, I’ll create ten. If Tumblr isn’t enough, I’ll go to other platforms too. And if it takes 1,000 accounts to help my friend, so be it.
“Still think it’s spam?”
No donations go to a PayPal account, where verification could be unclear, the total amount isn’t public or known, and the progress of total donations is hidden. This campaign is hosted on GoFundMe, one of the most trusted fundraising platforms in the world, where: - Personal identity must be verified - A matching personal bank account is required - The use of funds must be clarified - Donations are protected
Yet you still think this is spam? That’s up to you. But I’m not stopping.
“I don’t know you, why should I care?” You may not know me, but do you really need to know someone personally to lend a helping hand? When people are in crisis, kindness shouldn’t come with conditions.
“Why not restrict replies?” I could easily restrict replies, but I won’t. Because I want transparency, even if it means dealing with negativity. This is real, and I stand by it.
Apologies if the tags and asks are annoying. I know they can be, but I’m just trying to reach more people. You can always ignore me, but if this message finds someone willing to help, then it’s worth it. ❤️
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF PEOPLE CALLING SEA DWELLERS "FISH"?
I believe it is offensive. Just because they have harmed us, doesn’t mean we should use the same tactics against them. That is like calling a farmer a cow for cutting the grass.
