Goody has passed away
im sorry, ill make better decisions next time - hey wait a second im not a human either why am I apologizing for them
I’ve been asked many times “why the monster business?” As in “why come out on the internet and make such a claim? What is the point?” Pessimists see a con. Believers see a signpost, a rallying point. Every single person comes with their ideas, and because I’m not human and openly allow their curiosity, they often permit any social inhibitions to break down. Behavior toward me has been very different and interesting.
Absent inhibitions, humans show more of their inner space, their thought process, their analysis and how it functions. I get to see more by being the monster, and the first way, is in expectations.
For years, every chance they have, someone tells me how I do not meet their expectations. Really. What a shame. Please tell me what you’d want from me to be more the monster you think I ought to be. I’m too formal, too relaxed. I’m too mean and not mean enough. I care too much, but am abusive. On and on. My ask box reads like yelp reviews. Everyone has an opinion, and that is one factor I’ve been tracking. Always has been. How many people say Simon, how many Simone? How many make an attempt to combine genders or avoid them? Every permutation you can think of, I’ve been able to see it all, simply because my claim allows me to slip behind the decency curtain.
12 years.
How many of you have spent 12 years doing anything unless paid for it?
You ask yourself why? You do this because you can’t fathom a human motivation for my actions.
Good on you.
Watching how I’ve been received/dealt with/questioned etc has taught me everything I came to see. Because whether or not you believe in me, is simply a lock on your behavior. It’s one layer of inhibition.
If ever I see manipulative behavior, for whatever purpose, whatever reason, I will call it out, because the experiment is over, and I’ve seen enough. These days the little games are no longer tolerable.
Not interested. It’s been well-documented by me.
If you’re smart, you’ll analyze the behavior I received also. See what it can teach you. Fiction is used to discuss reality in safe ways. If you think I’m fictional, then look to the behavior if captured. If you do believe me, think about what your behavior says to other species, about your capacity for compassion or empathy.
Either perspective ought to teach you enough to make you cringe.
For me the most compelling set of data was the behavior of those who did not believe me, because somehow the concept I might be lying let them get away with whatever they wanted, in their own minds. Especially all the fascinating constructed motivations for my actions. Very telling about their backgrounds, their concepts of self and culture. The behavior says everything.
You’d never believe how many people told me they were rude to me because they could be.
It’s helpful to the study to state such things aloud, but honestly I figured it out before anything was said. Yet they still explicitly stated it. If I am not a monster, which I did say was up to you, in their minds I was a liar— then all their behavior was excused. And I was supposed to accept that. That translates to: “If I don’t understand or believe in your identity, I will interrogate, ridicule, suspect, hinder and harass you for as long as I please.”
I said it repeatedly—how you treat me is the study. What you do with the information I give you, is the study. What comes of you, is the study
I wanted to be wrong. I wasn’t.
A successful experiment is reproducible. I’ve said from the beginning this is the third version of the experiment. The results speak for themselves.
And still I get first hand vantage on the many forms bullying can take.
Every time a rude ask appears I think, “how many times a day do they do this to their family and friends? Who taught them this behavior? Where does it go as it ages and matures inside them? To whom do they pass it?”
It doesn’t hurt me. They want it to. They keep at it. It simply doesn’t, because it’s all data.
They worked so very hard to fight with me that they just ended up helping. Keep up the good work, I suppose.

I think mostly they wanted information about it and how good it is at preventing adhesion. I think they're mostly concerned with surgery. I assured them it should be alright barring a certain anesthesiologist in their area. Other than that I didn't find many contraindications or recalls. I'm also interested in how it works.
Thank you
Just provides a kind of layer of slippery texture that the connective tissues glides against rather than to adhere. Scarring in the abdominal cavity can cause all sorts of problems. The film is only dangerous if you’re allergic to it’s component elements, same as any surgical device or medication.
Love you Simon, and sending lots of love for Wax
Thank you.
Wax thanks you
I wonder what my tumblr friends would think if I did the same thing, if when I decide to remove my tumblr account I went to each one of their ask boxes and said “I’ve outgrown talking to you. I want you to personally know that I see you as a stepping stone in my personal growth, means to an end, a thing I put up with for whom I may eventually be, but not important enough to keep up with after this moment. You’re really unimportant and the last 12 years have been charming but ultimately served their purpose and got me what I needed. You personally had something to do with me deciding not to be here anymore. I felt you should know. Anyway, have a life and sorry about that thing you have pinned to your bio, whatever it is.”
It amazes me your species even has society since you do nothing but demonstrate how you loathe each other
Intentional emotional manipulation is like breathing for you.

Hey, it's been fun, but I've just grown away from this. I wish to share my condolences on my way out, however. Losing somebody close sucks and makes those good memories ever so precious.
Yeah, I know this probably won't be read, and doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but I wanted to say goodbye and good luck still.
I’ll never tire of these little displays of human psychological strangeness and passive aggressive pseudo-niceness.
Grown away from what? Someone on the internet occasionally talking about their existence. How strange you felt the need to communicate it to me anonymously.
You realize that this is not kindness or politeness, yes? This is actually a form of veiled abuse. If you had just unfollowed and wandered off I wouldn’t know nor care. I haven’t looked at any of my numbers in almost three years. But instead you chose to put in extra energy to pop up and tell me you’ve outgrown me. Meaning you want me to know. My reaction is important to you, or you wouldn’t have made the remark about me reading it, when I have always said I read all my messages. It’s manipulative, this approach. You could have just gone away and I’d never have noticed.
Giving condolences for something that happened weeks ago isn’t really enough to dress up the very strange look you’ve decided to go with.
Thank you for dismissing me from my rent free apartment in your head, I suppose. I didn’t really ask for it.
Please do go focus on your growth as a person.

Yes, the bio film. Someone I know is having surgery and they are concerned with adhesion. Yes please, if you have more information I would appreciate it.
Thank you
He film is designed to prevent adhesion. It’s a standard way to prevent it between the abdominal and pelvic area. It’s made from sterile proteins, grown, essentially, in the film configuration. It’s only a couple of layers but it’s hydrophilic so moisture can permeate. It has a list of contraindications and instructions for specific use but it’s been around for a while. What concerns does your friend have?

Hi,
I'm wondering if you have an opinion or knowledge of sepra film?
Thank you
The biofilm for surgery?
Ehhhh……what do you need to know? I know a little and might be able to direct to resources if you want further reading.

Dear Simon, i have committed a great error and i would wish that you share this with your gentle readers so they do not repeat my misfortune: the sourcream& lime chips are effing gross please don't buy them even if you like sourcream potato chips-- your mouth will hate you but stubborn monkey brain will insist on eating it anyway. I am full of regret (and gross potato chips) please don't be like me
They taste like cow bile.
How do I know what it tastes like? Clearly you’ve never dabbled in ancient Chinese medicine. I was given a remedy meant to help balance me out. I was too cold or too hot or something. I cannot recall. It was over 150 years ago. But I thought it would help control the suddenness of the hunger but it just made it worse. I probably should have told the practitioner that I am not human.
Now that I think about it, perhaps he knew and the medicine was meant to kill me.
No. That cannot be, because I’m fairly certain he’s the one who left me that bundle of sage. Not to ward me off. He knew I liked it.
Apologies. I digress. The chips are awful. I agree with the asker.

what does skin taste like (human)
oh wait
do different animals have different skin tastes?
Yes. Diet matters. Age matters. Fur versus feather etc.
It tastes like human.
Only in the modern era could my friend text me “I left my dick at your place,” and it makes any kind of sense
This has me laughing. I haven’t laughed in a few days. Ahhhh racism never ceases to be confoundingly stupid
I got the Top 4.47% on this English Vocabulary test
I’m in the last 47.33%
I shouldn’t have taken that test
Am I fucking stupid LMAO
Glad to see the gifted kid is alive and well inside me, I guess. Pretty sure I got them all correct but it didn’t provide a breakdown.
This was supposed to be difficult?
I think I’m too old for vocabulary quizzes. Half those words were less than a century old in common usage.
I do not accept this as any kind of accolade. This serves as more of a home truth than an accurate measure of alacrity with language.
Simon left to do errands and the cat is now doing her yowls of despair
She paces around the outside walls to find an exit then goes to the window closest to the front door and yowls in mourning for Simons absence.
I am lamentable, it’s true
I made goody’s favorite dish—beef stew.
I drank a nice red wine on his honor.
I’m very sad. I will miss my friend very much
It's always hard to lose a pet, I'm sorry. It's clear Goody was very very loved.
He was my friend and roommate
