#3 seem like fun people

[choppedcowboydinosaur]

I’ve noticed that there are 4 types of reactions to the Barbie movie.

1.  Upper, middle-class, white women who love the film and think it’s a feminist masterpiece. They think men are too stupid to understand the film.

2. Conservative, anti-sjw people who hate it because they think it’s woke, man-hating, feminist propaganda.

3. Guys who unironically like the movie because they like Ken.

4. Women who hate #3 because Ken is apparently the villain of the movie. So, these women get upset that some guys identify with Ken.

Mind you I haven’t seen the movie yet, but I find the reactions interesting to say the least.

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

#not a shitpost #serious post #ask to tag #tw trauma #cptsd #c-ptsd #and if so we should TALK about it #because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays #like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc #bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times #and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd) #because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact #2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc #3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation #and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie #4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories #and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong #weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards #i got lucky there #also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

little scrapped comic bc it felt a bit ooc to me in hindsight

#tbb #the bad batch #the bad batch season 2 #the bad batch season 3 #tbb tech #tbb omega #i was worried that this wouldn’t really come across as i intended #i’ve heard a lot of people complain about the characterization of tech in fanon #they make him a lot less capable than he is in canon just because he is the ‘nerd’ of the team #which i totally agree with #so i didn’t want it to seem like i was doing the same #i just think that tech would have a difficultly expressing some of his vulnerability around his brothers because they are so often stoic #(and frequently make fun of one another) #and omega might be the first person he feels comfortable in letting that side of him show #idk #just a sweet idea to me #anyway i decided i wasn’t going to finish this because of my fear of being misinterpreted but i did like how these sketches turned out #so here :) #a little treat #mods art #my art #mods draws #star wars #sw tbb #star wars the bad batch

dark justiciar shadowheart is genuinely so interesting to me as like... a facet to her character. like it really hammers home how desperate she is for shar's love and affection (+ the validation and love from other worshipers of shar). like in a lot of ways I get that it seems shocking to others / some fans because it really does contradict some of the morals we see her express BUT imo that just speaks to the level of desperation she feels. her comments on how shar "must" love her for her to survive the shadowcursed lands, or the bit where she talks about shar nurturing her and loving her and sounds... almost more like shes trying to convince herself more than shes trying to convince you. theres a bit about other sharrans not thinking she had earned her name, and of course the mother superior not thinking she was ready / worthy of being a dark justiciar. like shes just so completely desperate to feel unconditionally and securely loved, and to earn the approval of others that shes entirely willing to injure herself in the process (as well as.... the people who actually love her, of course).

not to mention that mechanically, afaik, she can only end up there if shes encouraged to by the player. ie... she needs to know someone else approves.

#CHEWING ON GLASS ABOUT HER BTW IF YOU EVEN CARE!!!! #shadowheart is the character EVER dude im so unwell about her #also this is not me judging her at all. shes just like me fr fr on this #baldur's gate #bg3 spoilers #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #shadowheart #my post #eta: at risk of projecting here she seems so like. disorganized attachment to me. like that NEED to be loved #and craving that approval and fearing ur not good enough to get it #BUT ALSO being so scared to trust people in the first place that its hard to ever get that love #and kind of. how prone she is to rapidly going from total love and trust and openess about her feelings to just #completely walling off the player character if they say something she deems mildly uncomfortable or unsavory #oughhhh #im unwell man i am. simply unwell. #also tbh these tags are a fun game in: disorganized attachment style or bpd? why not both! sjdbdbdg

i loved your AU resurection and i have a question Marx will appear in your AU??

(a fanart)

Thank you so much for the lovely art! You've captured him beautifully.

Marx isn't *super* relevant in this AU, but he's 100% present.

#i don't have any solid ideas for him but in concept he could be pretty fun here. this au centers people who were dead and now aren't #marx is a person who was dead and now isn't. #in his case though his death was almost 100% his fault and was due to his nasty behavior lol. still *trying* to be good though. #tysm for the art again !!!! this makes me happy i almost never get this kinda stuff. so super cool <3 #im thrilled to be making stuff people want to make fan art of :) #kirby series #marx kirby #void kirby #void termina #res!au #ps. i thought abt giving magolor a weird-ass evil gamer setup. he seems like the type to be honest. was too lazy to draw that though.

People who only like and support ONE ship and go around sending hate to other ships/shippers are so weird , I as a multi shipper cannot understand..

I love to explore the dynamics my favorites would have with other characters, there are of course ships I don't like but I'm not gonna go around hating on them who DO like them for no reason

#Edit to my wording cause it seems some people were taking it the wrong way </3 #Its okay if you want to only ship one pairing but don't ruin the fun for the people who multi ship #Obviously I love buddie sm and would prefer if they were end game but bucktommy is cute #even if they ended up as end game that would be fine cause buddie wouldn't suddenly disappear from fanon if they don't become canon #I've seen quite a few posts tagged “anti Bucktommy” okay but why #thanks to bucktommy we were able to get canon bi buck #some fans of things are silly just let everyone enjoy what they like and dont bring them down for being interested in something you dislike #okay thanks for soming to my little rant #911 fox #buddie #evan buckley #eddie diaz #evan buck buckley #tv: 911 #tommy kinard #mpost

people are so weird about why they don't like gale. like ive never seen anyone who has played through his entire story share actual critiques, it's always people meeting him once and deciding his entire backstory, personality, and motivations right there. "he's full of himself/manipulative/incompetent/etc" i am taking psychic damage from how stupid these takes are. if I poured my heart and soul into writing a character and people gave up on them after their introduction you'd see me on the national news

#idk how people are getting it so twisted but it's driving me insane #ive seen people project their own discomforts and real world equivalents on him like... this is a fantasy game. hes not ThatGuy hes a wizar #like whatever man you're ruining your own experience #and missing out on a silly wizard #where's your whimsy. have some fun. #i know hes a bit annoying at times and can Seem full of himself but i promise hes not. he doesn't actually think highly of himself. at all #and hes pretty quick to drop it by act 2 #anyway #gale dekarios #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #six speaks

#ive seen a nonzero amount of people discussing the possibility of eddie and buck hooking up at the bachelor party #and im just gonna be straight up with you guys: #if you genuinely think that's a real possibility that's actually going to happen on the show then i think you are very stupid #im so sorry that is the saltiest thing ive probably ever said on this site but. it's true #like y'all please stop expending your energy being worried about this because it's very simply NOT going to happen???? #(this is NOT directed at anyone who is just thinking about this scenario in a fun fanon/fanfic context like go for it!!) #but like. the number of posts i've seen that GENUINELY seem to think this is even remotely a real possibility #i have to assume you have like. only seen 3 full episodes of this show if you're actually worried about it #911 spoilers #sibyl speaks

denying so hard that there's a disconnect between what im learning within art, and other skills needed but it's undeniable that like. ill draw anatomy studies and faces all day but when i try to Make Something Else, Something Real, it's like all the information leaves me....

i always joke that ill be stuck on the foundations and fundamentals of art forever but it seems like its real because mechanical skill and comprehension of Structure is very much a different thing than. being able to connect a head and body in a streamlined way. good stylization. informed stylization. creativity. knowledge of composition, color and what makes a piece work.

i keep trying to make things and realize i still need more time in the fundamentals. more and more and its never enough....and then i forget em constantly !

#talkys #ill just keep filling pages and pretending its doing anything #as if ill ever draw more than just. floating head. figure standing. floading head. figure standing #i dont understand how people gain knowledge cumulatively #just because I can draw talon's face doesnt mean i wouldnt need another 3 years to master another character enough to draw them well #ive drawn al for over a decade i already need to relearn to draw him #information leaves me and doesnt seem to transfer. every new thing needs 5 years dedicated to learning it to draw it well. #and then the knowledge leaves as soon as i have to switch subjects. #because every single subject is a different and unique challenge #i dont knowwwwww #so sad...i mean people have not gotten what they want for years and years but so sad that this isnt what i was meant to do #that ill never make work that is the work id like to make...! never beautiful illustrations...never fun sequential art...alas. alas #wrong body wrong brain #im glad other ppl enjoy my work and i recognize that but i want to like it too.....!

im gonna sound like a hater here for a moment so i apologize to my reanimator mutuals. but tbh.. i dont understand why its like. as popular online as it is. like i enjoy it and everything but i dunno i just dont quite get why so many people watch it and are just Instantly obsessed

#like i said i do like it and i am not trying to like. make fun of or look down on people who are really into it! #it just didnt grab me as much as it seems to for everyone else #ive seen it 3 times now and each time ive come away like. well. that was a fun movie :] moving on :] #ghost.txt #kinda the same with saw actually. like. i dont dislike saw. ive seen it too many times to say i dislike it. but it doesnt grab me the same #as it does for a lot of people. #like. with reanimator ive at least seen 2/3 of the movies and dont really feel the need to see the one ive pretty universally heard is not #is not good #with saw ive seen like. 3/10 movies. ill watch them occasionally but like. i dont feel the particular desire to sit down and watch them all #the only one ive ever wanted to rewatch was 1. i could see myself maybe rewatching 3. 2 i did not really care lmao #eventually ill probably watch reani3 and the other saw movies. but like. theyre both in a similar place of i like it but not as much as #as u all seem to

"will shouldn't use a gun in season five because his father probably taught him how to use one and that could be a bad reminder for him" have you considered that will using what was very likely a Bad experience to save his life in what is undoubtedly an even worse experience could be a good thing? have you considered that him using a skill he was forced to learn to save not only himself but (as is likely more important and meaningful to him) the lives of others could give him a sense of usefulness and safety knowing that he isn't defenseless and can stand his and others' ground if need be? especially considering that's a skill that we've only seen hopper and nancy possess, making it that much more valuable and himself more helpful to the group? after everything in s1 and s2, he's probably felt guilty for having endangered them and dozens of other people multiple times, i don't think it'd be out there for him to feel "happy" that he can finally return the favor and protect them for once (especially after having complained about being babied and treated like a doll).

"will doesn't have and shouldn't have powers because that makes him different and he doesn't want to be different" not only are you wrong lol <3 but how have you not noticed that will's entire thing since the very beginning is that he is different and he knows it and while he does get his heart broken over the fact that this means he faces constant unfairness in life, he still refuses to be any other way? will doesn't conform nor does he ever try to even when others try to force or shame him to. he gets frustrated and upset at being treated differently, yes, but he stays true to himself. to battle that feeling he sometimes gets that tells him he's a mistake, a feeling he gets not from his own otherness but from living in a world that Makes it an otherness and thus isolates him for it, he seeks out that which he loves and enjoys and throws himself wholeheartedly at it. will lives his truth and is willing to suffer the consequences for it. he refuses to live in darkness and let it take a hold of him. he holds on to hope and all that makes him feel better for being different. he holds on to art, to dnd, to video games, to his family and his friends, and everything that brings him joy and reminds him that it's okay to be different. in s1 joyce defends will ("he's missing is what he is") and jonathan tells him he shouldn't like things that other people (namely their homophobic dad) try to force him to like, that he should like what he genuinely likes. in s2 jonathan gives will the freak speech and tells him that no one normal ever accomplished anything and mentions bowie. in s3, he doesn't get a speech, (though joyce does tell him that when he falls in love he won't find it gross [avoiding the word girlfriend and leaving it neutral]) but he does face backlash from someone that IS trying to conform and IS shaming will for not letting go of "childish" things aka his interests, what's important to him, and what he wants. does will back down or shy away in shame? no. instead, he lets mike sit in his shame for having said something that hurtful, and he says "yeah. i guess i did. i really did." clearly this is a conversation about what makes will different aka his sexuality bc he goes and destroys castle byers (the safe place he and his brother built once their homophobic dad left which is a place will can be himself unapologetically) with what is likely a bat that lonnie gave him when trying to get him into baseball. he calls himself stupid and donates his dnd books, but i don't see this as an act of conformity (he tells mike as much, suggesting he'll just use his books + if he was ashamed he wouldn't have painted the party as their dnd characters and given it to him of all people lol). he felt stupid because he thought they'd always be crazy together, that they were of the same mind and heart still, and that they had the same brand of "otherness" if you catch my drift. then in s4 we get jonathan's tender "you're my brother and there is nothing absolutely nothing that will ever change that" which is the most direct anyone has ever been about that which makes will different. and he doesn't shy away from it! he doesn't deny it, because we can see from his confession and how he breaks down that he's desperately been wanting and needing to hear that. he accepts that love and allows himself to be held and seen by someone else, as he has every other time. because will doesn't hate being different, he just hates that he has to live in a world where that's seen as wrong and thus makes him feel like he doesn't belong because of it. but he doesn't change himself. he doesn't feel ashamed of it. he doesn't see it as a flaw in himself or others and he never has. will is different and he knows it and he wouldn't have it any other way.

will's story since the beginning has been about being different and going through awful things, and managing to not only find the light in it but also make it out stronger because of it all. it's always been about using what makes him different as a good thing and as something he uses to save himself and others.

will being good with a gun bought him time with whatever kidnapped him. will knowing how to run and hide kept him alive in the upside down. will acted as a spy while possessed and managed not only to save hopper but also tell them how to finish this. will's experiences and senses helped them figure out what was happening in season three. will's love and loyalty inspires mike and manages to bring him to a better place even if just for a moment in the van, and again he's the one that knows vecna's current state, aaaand had he been in hawkins at the time it likely would've gone a lot better because as dustin said "we need will".

taking something awful and turning it into a good thing and a source of strength is a wonderful trope. it's inspiring and empowering not only for the character but for those that could use that hope and reminder that there's always a silver lining, that life isn't all darkness and shadows and hurt. not only that, but it's something that they've literally always done for will since the very beginning. he is the prime character for that. his entire message has always been that it's okay to be different and that you can find strength and peace in that; that the things that make you different aren't a detriment, they're precisely what make you strong. like... i'm sorry, but have you not been paying attention at all whatsoever this entire time or... :/

#some of u heard 'sometimes it makes you feel like a mistake' and just forgot every other season ever it seems like #but idk maybe IM the outlier here lmao #characters like mike steve and eleven i can see the conformity argument for #BUT WILL?!?!?!? #will who has always drawn and listened to his music and wanted to hang out with his friends and play dnd and who #gets made fun of for so many things even by those that mean the world to him but has never ONCE tried to change #anything about who he is over that..... THAT'S who you think thinks being different is a bad thing!?!?! #will who has never lied about being a loner or what he likes or what he wants in life or has dressed like other people want him to #will who specifically has received multiple It's Okay To Be Different speeches and came out of them believing them is the character #that you think hates being different? will who loves mike's nerdy self and thinks the absolute world of him and TELLS HIM AS MUCH AND #CONFESSES HIS GAY LOVE TO DESPITE THE SUMMER OF HOMOPHOBIA AND THE AIRPORT FIASCO AND THAT DREW A #FUCKING HEART ON HIS SHIELD UNABASHEDLY AND CONFESSED IN FRONT OF TWO OTHER PEOPLE TOO ON TOP OF THAT #IN THE EIGHTIES!!!!!!! TO MIKE!!!! WHO COULDNT TOUCH HIM AND HAS A CONSERVATIVE FAMILY AND DIDNT TALK TO HIM FOR A YEAR #IS WHO YOU THINK HATES BEING DIFFERENT . HELLO #literally everything that he goes through is turned into something 'good' because that's the POINT!!!! #HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE NORMAL!!! HE IS NOT THE CHARACTER U SHOULD BE MAKING THOSE ARGUMENTS FOR LMAO #jus say u don't want him to have powers bro don't be lying on my blorbito's name like that 😭😭😭😭😭 #anyway. crazed frenzy is over im normal now <3 #u kno how the long and all too passionate bordering on Is This Bitch Okay mobile posts go #back to being offline now byeeeee 🏃‍♀️

I have to say my favorite part about Aha's character is how pivotal they are to the story and how subtly they lead the universe to lean into one direction or the other while everyone mainly continues to see them as a hehe xd lol jester cringefail little havoc creating guy intent solely on trolling everyone
