Ballercorps
a baller assemblage of mostly animals
This domain name was too good to pass up.This is mostly a reference for folks who already know us, as we haven't wanted to say a whole lot about ourselves to strangers recently, but it might be helpful to understand us as a people. Most of the time, as of recently, Juniper is "in front" or "driving the car" or whatever metaphor you want to use, but we very much work as a collective internally.We're re-figuring-out how much we want to share here so expect some churn for a while as we figure out what is reasonable to share with the entire dang internet. We've made a changelog to make that slightly easier to track. Also because it's fun to have a changelog.If you're looking for refsheets, you can find them at our refsheets site.

because someone has to do the dishes
My family is the most important thing in my life, which is still kind of confusing, but also awesome. Lately I haven't been around much and am trying to figure out how to exist part-time, but if you socialized with us between 2013 and early 2018, you were probably talking to me.

Once upon a time my job was to manage the feelings of our abusers. Now that's no one's job because to heck with that life. Today I enjoy experiencing the world without fear and making better mulligan decisions than Khorah when playing Magic.

You know how in the mid-2000s we were involved in a bunch of gender and sexuality conferences, book groups, and activism? That was me. Hi, I'm back, and now I have:
furry art!

Able to be the adult in the room when someone needs to be. When no one needs to be, catch him perched on something listening to indie rap or opining about how great birds are. (Birds are so fucking great, you don't even know.)

I think fiction is a powerful tool for showing us aspects of our own experience we can't verbalize in a purely material way. I also think human faces are deeply overrated. If you really need to emote something, you have snakes for that.....you do have snakes for that, right?

Okay, fine. Here's my hierarchy of needs:BASIC NEEDS: Being in the Sonoran Desert.
NEEDS TO THRIVE: A sword.
SELF-FULFILLMENT NEEDS: A cause, preferably a princess, on whose behalf to wield that sword in an artistically self-destructive fashion.(rias you have watched too much anime)You said to write my own description!!! You want it to say something vague and non-committal, write it yourself. I look at every dumbass who swears allegiance to another dumbass and then does magic sword shit and say "It me." That's literally what I do.

okay what if we actually got glasses like that though
Having armor and giant claws lets me be silly and cute most of the time. I want to be pretty and soft and, if needed, have the ability to protect myself and other pretty, soft things. Also, I love tea.I'm still figuring out where I fit in the schema of our head and the world outside our consciousness. I hope wherever it is, I get to make hot drinks for nice people. Or nice drinks for hot people. Either way!

I used to be a coyote but I'm all right nawooooooo.
I didn't grow up the normal temporal way, so I've had to do a bunch of it by hand. Luckily that's a lot easier when you're checks watch forty. ...Oh dear.Looks like I've been primary front for a while now. I have a job! I'm even good at it! I also have a family and a social life and like... entire life. Me! Who'd have thought?Trying very hard to appreciate it while it's here. <3

💔 / 🧁 / she but also whatever
we're all waiting in the wings
Mimi is able to pretend to be anyone else. In fact, she's sometimes not able to not do that, until she realizes it's her and suddenly takes off the mask and fucks off to go get something sweet to eat. Which, honestly, is almost certainly a way better idea than pretending to be whichever of us was miserable in some miserable situation.Mimi's all right.
