no, 12 year old me would however idolize my current body and wish they had it already
Would your 12 year old self recognize you?
I do too…

They're ALWAYS trying to pull this shit @ parties
If they refuse to respect you for who you are they aren’t friends, if they want to keep you in their life they will put aside the “it sounds weird” stuff and learn your new name and your new pronouns and stuff.
I personally have a 3 strike rule, deadname me once I just correct you and move on, twice I correct you and give you the stare, three times and I either throw you out or leave myself and refuse to speak with you till you learn.
If you’re too concerned about how inconvenient it is to learn my name and pronouns you’re not someone I want to be friends with.
The name thing, I mean. I figured, you know… people need time. Time to adjust, time to relearn, time to forget and relearn again. I gave them that time—generously, patiently. But now I’m at that point where if someone deadnames me, I will correct them. Every time. Again. And again. And again.
Like Tuesday. I was playing Magic with some friends. One of the guys at the table—I’ve known him for years—he’s not mean or malicious, just… a bit slow on the uptake. Not exactly tuned into social cues, bless him. But gods, I’ve never been so close to flipping the table over a name.
Everyone else at the table called me Terra. Naturally. Because that’s my name. But he kept deadnaming me—over and over.
“Hey Deadname, your turn.”
“It’s Terra.”
“Hey Deadname, don’t forget your extra card.”
“It’s Terra.”
Repeat until madness.
By the end of the night, I was massaging my temples, staring up at the ceiling like the answer to why I bothered was written in the damn fluorescent lights. He finally noticed I was upset—and instead of realizing why, he thought it was because he kept killing my commander.
No. No, sweetie. My frustration wasn’t game-based, it was existential.
I finally just… snapped a little. Told him flat-out, “My name is Terra. You’ve been calling me my deadname all night. I’ve been correcting you all night.”
And he blinked at me, confused, and said, “Sorry. I forgot.”
I slumped back. Like, girl, really? You forgot?
My other two friends leaned in from opposite ends of the table, bless their sassy little souls, and said, “Dude… we’ve been calling her Terra this whole night.”
And he just shrugged. Said he didn’t get it, but he just wanted to play Magic.
And I guess that’s what stings, doesn’t it? That I’m not important enough in his head to remember. That I’m background noise. A name that just doesn’t click, because his desire to play cards outweighs my need to be seen.
But I will keep correcting people. I will keep saying “It’s Terra.” Because every time I do, I take my name back. I remind myself—and everyone else—that I exist. That I matter. That I’m not going to fade just because someone forgets to look closely enough.
So yeah. It sucks. It drains you. But we don’t owe anyone our silence. Especially not when we’ve fought so hard to finally hear our name and feel right.
Yes… very much, the trip to you will probably put me at the precipice of “anxiety crushing her flat”… and that’s if things don’t go poorly, if they do… I don’t wanna think about it…
yes... at my great grandmas while i was 8, it was to call my parents to bring me home (she kept asking who i was and why i was there, it was scary to me and not long after that day she was put in an old folks home)
have you ever made a call from a rotary phone?
once... that was the first time i blacked out and the first time i had a seizure. i spent around 30 minutes in a chair feeling like i'm about to faint, the door was knocked on and my dad told me to answer it and i opened the door said something and immediately fell backwards and hit my head causing a physical trauma induced seizure...
have you ever had a pre-syncope (almost fainting) spell that lasts for more than 10 minutes
usually if i drink while i have a migraine it goes away (i don't drink often... the last time i did was my birthday in september last year)
People that get migraines: Is alcohol/liquor a trigger for your migraines? Doesn’t need to happen every time you drink
Yes
No
No migraine (lucky you!)/don’t drink option
it's not called "the minecraft move" it's called "a minecraft movie" because it's just a take on what a movie for minecraft could be, and i will see it if i can because it actually seems really good... and i don't like the animated movies that are out there so like this is my best shot of finding a movie about minecraft i enjoy
Minecraft fans, are you going to watch the movie?
Yes/No/Undecided/Not in the fandom
