ow

one weird effect after psychosis , regardless of clarity level : always get headaches by next day , sometimes even migraine nausea and aura outright . definitely worse if have enough clarity to push past boundaries , but even without overextend will always still get headaches . would love to know if others get that too , because like , fucking ow .

NDE thoughts

crosspost from tumblr @ thaliendir .
not to get too in depth , but like … have very different perspective on NDE than others , and think one big part of that is plurality plain and simple .

hypnosis & plurality

hypnosis is funny here ... not sure how other plurals experience , but here in kossai ? trance is individual , not front-wide . that is to say , someone can be in very deep trance at front , but someone else can take over and immediately not seem to be in trance at all , with only slight bit of crossover fuzziness . and if that subject of trance switch back in , trance will return , though might need small re-deepener after crossover jostle .

which feel so weird , because would think that should be whole brain and carry between front , not individuals ! but no , can just switch in and out . almost like eira largely unaffect by these trances , or something . eira can still be affect by other things , and those persist between fronters - like word crashes , psychosis , and other involuntary things - but not chosen trances .

so infinitely curious about how others experience . like this can be very useful , so not exactly complain , but feel like this is weird . maybe will have to properly experiment sometime and see if someone can truly target eira for trance , and what would happen then .

orchid in bloom

crosspost from tumblr .

faeries do not necessarily abide by any human expectations of gender and sex . of course , olden stories might play up importance of these things , as that was what human society place importance on . likewise , some faeries take on pretenses of these things as performance to appease or toy with humans - or take these basic ideas just to twist beyond recognition for plain and simple fun .

truthfully , traits of sexes can come in number of mixes and expressions . and that is not just faerie thing , this is very much human , animal kingdom , and beyond . sure , there can be predominant clusters of these traits , but that is not end by any means - that is only start .

unfortunately , fair amount of people do not recognise this , do not want to recognise this . ultra rarity , medical anomaly , something to gawk at . often see this as porn tropes , refusal of existence and autonomy , or requests for personal , intimate information just to satiate curiosity .

these attitudes major contributor to why kossai dance around labels , but ... honestly come to realise that tired of this , for as much as also tired of these attitudes and wish to escape . want this world to be one where no one label sex to start with , let alone whether within binary or not - but right now , still have to deal with effects of world that demand this , and only so much anyone can do to avoid .

on one hand , kossai do not feel need to consider body as intersex , regardless of human standards which say so - more important to know what feel happy and true to heart , rather than what kossai " is " . but on other hand , can get so tired to hide stories and perspectives just for frustrations of how others act , have to just silently watch as these things go by - and equally , nice to have labels and spaces that can give some safe ground back .

that all said , still have no intent to give anyone intimate details , not for any reason . kossai say this not to be spectacle for others , but to try and find some of that safety - and if not find , then make . try to pretend for long while now that feel fine with seek safety through silence and avoidance , but honestly not .

so what should this change ? nothing much - was probably not very hard to assume this anyway . but even if not directly part of this blog , hope to at least carve out something more comfortable , and to show some of that comfort for others .should break down these walls for everyone's sake .

mushroom musume ~ aaaaaaaaaa !!!

so , mushroom village . actually not visit mushroom village in little while , ever since fufu refuse witch's request to wipe out - attend moreso to abandoned dungeon and beanstalk , since run through most of basic dialogue in mushroom village .
but today something very different happen . witch make intent clear to control this village as personal domain , and that any mushroom who still live here put self in grave danger .

this particular daughter ( guess what , another deathcap ) basically roll eyes and walk on through village anyway , and come upon grave district . here attend morbid mushy meeting , and try to rally everyone up . some girls seem apprehensive about idea of kill witch , but one verdigris agaric say already kill witch once before .

verdigris agaric ! dearest besse , witch-slayer besse ! love how get references to previous daughters , so very much love .

thoughts on edible effigies

as think about with post from [personal profile] lb_lee  , and by extension one from [personal profile] hungryghosts  …

cultural differences fun . now will be clear that not sure if this come from one of human cultures kossai grow up around , if faerie thing from within court , or maybe sprinkle of both , but : can not imagine actually eat effigies of people that hate .



anyway . none of this is to say what is right or wrong , just get such visceral reaction to this idea and realise never put these thoughts in words before , and so this might be interest to talk about !

mushroom musume ~ story beats - kapii , mevina , & wanami

also , very excite , start to get deeper into long story of mushroom musume . of course , short cycle story is clear enough - recluse want for daughter , witch offer up , again and again and again . but there is reason to this cycle , deep secrets to this world . just become matter of how to unlock .

kapii - weeping maroon deathcap - help jo to restore cafe up in clouds , and now work there happily with jaq . like kuna , not many chances to actually act on cruel or visceral nature , even though try hard . want to act tougher than really able to sustain .

mevina , deathly devilish bleeding tooth , climb past jo's cafe on beanstalk to reach moon for first time . can not do anything here yet , but learn of violet-eye lady , and strange palace . ( finally recognise that picture which show off behind-scenes creation for ! yay ! ) other than that , mevina take caelia to gala , because why not .

wanami , weeping red deathcap ... yes , that is 3 deathcaps now , this garden setup is extremely good at deathcaps . will have to tweak this , because also really laggy . anyway , wanami have plenty of chances to act on visceral urges , and end up with 3 desiccation traits on top of each other ! that was huge mycelium and dampness loss with every round , but fortunately garden provide lots of dampness , and recluse provide lots of mycelium , so actually survive whole game . mostly . wanami try to pick eye flower , pick fight instead , then fail to flee and fall down chasm . with only 18 mycelium left , just no way to get back out .

but before all that ...


this game is so good . need to know more immediately and consume into fibre of soul .
well , maybe not quite that dramatic , but pretty dramatic . :P

poetry ?

quite some time ago , kossai build tree out of trash - shitty gift paper , boxes , random scraps of trash , secrets that never want for anyone to see , all tape up and pin in place to shape tree . idea was would some day paper over , but just never manage to get around to that . so that tree stay as very visibly plastic wreck , while constantly threaten to fall apart just out of neglect and cover in layers of dust . sad , did not want to give up , but still never get around . not like need for materials - save up glue and so many papers for this ! but just never did , for some reason .

... until now , anyway . finally have enough of dance around work , especially with knowledge that lover legion work on plans to visit ( !!! ) , and yesterday commit to start process , paper whole thing over roughly . every few hours since then , kossai look around and touch up rough spots .
and realise that most of paper which use for this come from hospitalisations , both influenza this year and surgery last year . medication prescriptions , side effect pamphlets , discharge papers , wound care papers .

do feel some sort of strange poetry in that , but hard to put in words .

on silly topic ...

in think about mushroom musume , and various daughters that player can find : kossai not only have mushroom faeries here , but also happen to have ... potato faerie .
mushroom musume in real life is right here ~ ( joke )

actually kind of silly sometimes that character writing is very sapphic , when eira very much gay man and that tend to dominate front expression . really appreciate attention to detail , just not evoke affections in same way , hehe . so lovely how some daughters immortalise through world , though - nemuri's cavern , meloi mccoolname , how jaq and kapii work together at jo's cafe ...

... hmm , nemuri specifically lose humanity . wonder if nemuri's cavern would be not just name anymore , but literally where nemuri eventually live out life .

really want to buy house in mushroom village at some point , just need to figure out how to reliably get money . even pickpocket kuna only end up with 5 out of 10 necessary coins . ( yeah , cheap digs ! still not cheap enough . )

suppression and journeys

crosspost from tumblr .
kossai grow up with paganism - sort of eclectic mix of things . learn about faeries and changelings , past lives , magic , and overall delve into culture and ideas that christians try to kill . still , that did not mean faeriehood come with one nice and easy path to follow .

under cut for length . not just about physical nonhumanity , but expect experiences will be particularly familiar there .

mushroom musume ~ fufu & kuna

fufu - volatile purple fairy ring . several things compound here and so think did not really get to see effects of all - for example , fufu grow up with 0 affection , but think override by faerie gamble . also end up with debt to witch due to recluse die off-screen somewhere , so despite likelihood would open up great mountain aspiration , instead choose to do some dirty work for witch ... then turn tail and refuse , which end in certain death . witch is just jealous mushrooms can make friends >_>

kuna - assertive black deathcap . maximum affection for kuna ! between both garden setup and event choices , end up with really strong dampness , potency , and humanity all at once . kind of funny combination for girl who feel deep , visceral urges to kill - funnily never run into any events that would allow kuna to kill , so really just play as ... helpful thief ? kuna did of course meet mr newyear , and that is where ...



this world is so fun to play around in . same things happen over and over again , but others happen dynamically , change as each daughter add on . wonder about lore reasons for that ? try not to look at spoilers too much in all honesty , but know there is some really cool stuff ahead , which not really sure how to get to yet . part of why go through whole journey to record as much as possible !

mushroom musume ~ hello ???

in middle of play right now , and see thing is , usually when winter come , will get choice of aspiration . now , this daughter did open up 3 different ones , so think - wow , how will kossai choose ?

evidently : game choose ! did not get any choice of where to go , or what aspiration to choose , just force down forest path and suddenly - " cross the bridge " all over screen . so holy shit , OK ! guess jo's cafe and thief will have to wait for future daughters !

silly thoughts

if kossai was in mushroom musume ...
pixie's parasol , but with fun wings . because ... because . :P

base traits : slime form , incompetent
additionally : bookworm

dampness : mid range
mycelium : high range
robustness : low range
potency : mid range
humanity : variable day by day

would hang out in mushroom village lots , but maybe explore human settlements and bring back some totally not stolen trinkets :D

relationship to diagnoses ~ one physical faerie perspective

crosspost from tumblr . ( original post )

preface

want to make clear that none of this post is to say that any variation or trait is inherently nonhuman regardless of circumstance , this is just personal experience of kossai . medical and psychiatric systems have uses , and where circumstances safe , not necessarily bad to investigate these avenues .

please do not trust anyone who say that any variation is definite sign of something nonhuman or magical , such as extraterrestrial status - this is not journey which others can decide outcome . this is especially important if not yet investigate medical or psychiatric avenues , or if circumstances of mind or body recently change after medical event , emotional trauma , or other big life event .

under cut for length , and general discussion of frustrations in psychiatric and medical systems .

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.
