#Individual Perspectives

Perfect

Perfection is subjective, a kaleidoscope of individual perspectives. When I express that you embody perfection, it transcends the notion of flawlessness. In my perception, your beauty emanates through the lens of your grace. It resonates in the melodic cadence of your voice, echoes in the poise with which you navigate life, and radiates through the tenderness of your love. I acknowledge that you…

you were raised in comparison.

it wasn't always obvious (well. except for the times that it was), but you internalized it young. you had to eat what you didn't like, other people are going hungry, and you should be grateful. you had to suck it up and walk on the twisted ankle, it wasn't broken, you were just being a baby. you were never actually suffering, people obviously had it worse than you did.

you had a roof over your head - imagine! with the way you behaved, with how you talked back to your parents? you're lucky they didn't kick you out on your ass. they had friends who had to deal with that. hell, you have friends who had to deal with that. and how dare you imply your father isn't there for you - just because he doesn't ever actually talk to you and just because he's completely emotionally checked out of your life doesn't mean you're not fucking lucky. think about your cousins, who don't even get to speak to their dad. so what if yours has a mean streak; is aggressive and rude. at least you have a father to be rude to you.

you really think you're hurting? you were raised in a home! you had access to clean water! you never so much as came close to experiencing a real problem. sure, okay. you have this "mental illness" thing, but teenagers are always depressed, right. it's a phase, you'll move on with your life.

what do you mean you feel burnt out at work. what do you mean you mean you never "formed healthy coping mechanisms?" we raised you better than that. you were supposed to just shoulder through things. to hold yourself to high expectations. "burning out" is for people with real jobs and real stress. burnout is for people who have sick kids and people who have high-paying jobs and people who are actually experiencing something difficult. recently you almost cried because you couldn't find your fucking car keys. you just have lost your sense of gratitude, and honestly, we're kind of hurt. we tell you we love you, isn't that enough? if you want us to stick around, you need to be better about proving it. you need to shut up about how your mental health is ruined.

it could be worse! what if you were actually experiencing executive dysfunction. if you were really actually sick, would you even be able to look at things on the internet about it? you just spend too much time on webMD. you just like to freak yourself out and feel like you belong to something. you just like playing the victim. this is always how you have been - you've always been so fucking dramatic. you have no idea how good you have it - you're too fucking sensitive.

you were like, maybe too good of a kid. unwilling to make a real fuss. and the whole time - the little points, the little validations - they went unnoticed. it isn't that you were looking for love, specifically - more like you'd just wanted any one person to actually listen. that was all you'd really need. you just needed to be witnessed. it wasn't that you couldn't withstand the burden, but you did want to know that anyone was watching. these days, you are so accustomed to the idea of comparison - you don't even think you belong in your own communities. someone always fits better than you do. you're always the outlier. they made these places safe, and then you go in, and you are just not... quite the same way that would actually-fit.

you watch the little white ocean of your numbness lap at your ankles. the tide has been coming in for a while, you need to do something about it. what you want to do is take a nap. what you want to do is develop some kind of time machine - it's not like you want your life to stop, not completely, but it would really nice if you could just get everything to freeze, just for a little while, just until you're finished resting. but at least you're not the worst you've been. at least you have anything. you're so fucking lucky. do you have any concept of the amount of global suffering?

a little ant dies at the side of your kitchen sink. you look at its strange chitinous body and think - if you could just somehow convince yourself it is enough, it will finally be enough and you can be happy. no changes will have to be made. you just need to remember what you could lose. what is still precious to you.

you can't stop staring at the ant. you could be an ant instead of a person, that is how lucky you are. it's just - you didn't know the name of the ant, did you. it's just - ants spend their whole life working, and never complain. never pull the car over to weep.

it's just - when it died, it curled up into a tight little ball.

something kind of uncomfortable: you do that when you sleep.

#writeblr #warm up #my dad was actively doing bad shit to us and we STILL were told we were lucky . and to a point i do think im lucky #i just think also there's somethin to be said about like. how about we stop using comparison to dismiss ppls individual struggles #yes there are people who have no perspective. for the reference tho having perspective actually made me really unwilling to get help #for what was a serious and debilitating mental health issue. bc i thought i didnt DESERVE IT #and i would rather have 600 ppl who aren't THAT bad get help and get heard and get seen #than make any 1 kid. do the math that i did: look at the world that is dying and the people who are hurting and say #''oh. okay. others have it worse. they are probably better people than i am. i am being unreasonable. i cannot ask for help #i am not good. i am taking too much space. i am not worth saving.'' #bc our WHOLE lives we are taught a scarcity mindset - that you can 'steal' from someone. so that instead of changing a system that doesn't #actually offer fair support to everyone #we put the impetus on the individual to just... demand less. #and here's something - there are probably ppl who think i DIDNT deserve to get help #bc i DID have it better than other people #and something about that is ... so sickening. bc i think all of us in some way at some point WILL need help. #we were supposed to make communities. we were supposed to offer our hands. we were supposed to raise the barn #instead we said: it could be worse. now handle it yourself

Do you pray for the hostages too?

Yes. I pray for the 110 or so israeli and immgrant hostages assumed to still be alive. And I also pray for the hundreds of Palestianian hostages arrested without charge in Israeli prisons assumed to be alive.

I pray for a ceasefire so that the Israeli hostages are released. I also pray for the end of Israeli apartheid government, so that Palestianians are liberated.

#i recommend reading some articles on the israeli hostages that were released #they each have individual perspectives but i notice online that people are refusing to hear many of their critiques of the israeli state #oftentimes dismissing the hostages of being ''irrationally traumatized'' or ''coerced'' into saying things #now i don't agree with all of them. especially since a lot are reformers. but i think it is important to hear their perspectives #also in general #the sheer number of palestians suffering compared to the israeli hostages is the reason why i think this ''whataboutism'' is ridiculous #you have 2 million people suffering and i am supposed to direct my primary attention to what like 100 of them specifically? #especially considering that there is one side that can end this whole thing: israel #hamas has already offered to release the hostages #in exchange for a ceasefire #and any attempt that the israeli military tried to ''liberate'' the hostages ended up in their deaths #what so far at least 3 israeli hostages were killed by israel (and there was probably more unconfirmed)

Hello! Hope you are having a good day.

So I have a question for you, just ignore when you don't feel like answering.

I came to Mattdrai via the enemies/rivals to lovers tag and then got sucked into hockey. I really like the fanon take on Leon, fav character, fanon Matthew was fine but way too woobified and infantilized in so many fics. So my surprise when I started to watch games, interviews etc. Public Matthew is so confident, so loving, awesome family to back him up, especially Brady, hot as hell, sexy way of playing hockey, amazing public persona. Loved and respected by his team, beyond hockey.

Then Leon. His only trait seems to be that he's pissy which I can appreciate but it seems that he's just a downright mean, arrogant guy with a superiority complex (see that interview when he puts Silovs down.) I don't find him stoic at all but he's just seems boring and bland and yeah, pissy. It doesn't seem like he has fun or likes his team a lot or is liked by them (Connor aside and his skills aside.) His friendship with Connor seems the only endearing or likeable thing. He even looks good in a bland way and his hockey is while it's so skillful it's not hot and also I wonder why his dirty plays aren't called out more often.

So what do I miss? Where does great fanon Leon come from? Why is he written mostly so superior to Matthew and where comes the "his team likes Leon so much but Matthew is an outcast in his own team come from?) It's so far from what I gather from old and new interviews or games and I have watched a lot, also German interviews. I really would like to like Leon, shipping them had been more fun when I didn't find his public self so jarring. What do I not see what everyone else seems to get?

Sorry for the long ask! Have a great day and thank you

first off thank you for such a thought out ask! i don't get to dive into things like this a lot outside of writing fic and it got my brain gears going.

to get right into the bulk of this ask: i get what you are saying about leon. that can be the way he comes off for sure, and look everything i'm gonna say? i'm talking out of my ass here. i don't claim to know anything about him as a person besides what's publicly presented, and i don't have much right to theorize about why he is the way that he is, but i'd be lying if i said i didn't think about it. how would i write rpf otherwise, right 💀

i think he cares a lot. and i think sometimes he gets so wrapped up in things, how things should be, how he should be performing, etc, and when it doesn't go a certain way he gets frustrated and snarky (eg, pissy comments and such). but i don't see that being bad necessarily, especially when it's seems to come from such a team oriented state of mind. which, i dont think he dislikes his team at all? i think if anything, he has a sort of blind faith in his team, and that's the only context i could see a 'superiority complex' making sense in. and yah maybe a little misplaced at times, but ultimately i think it comes from believing so fully in his team and not seeing that come to fruition. he really does not seem to care about his individual performance much at all, so how self obsessed can he be? when i think about leon i just see someone that is ultimately very passionate and committed to the game he plays. i'm also curious to know where you get the vibe that his team doesn't like him? simply because i never got that impression from any of the other oilers, they all seem like they're obsessed with him.

beyond hockey, i see a caring, sweet, kindhearted individual. anytime i see a picture or vid of him interacting with bowie, or even the things his girlfriend posts about him, the comments he leaves for people on ig, and yah of course in the way he talks/acts around connor, i see fragments of someone soooo different than the little two minute post game interviews (which, can we judge any hockey player on those? i think they all hate them dfkjgsd). it's not always something i actively go digging for or have examples of the top of my head, but i do see it, and it definitely goes into creating the version of leon that i have in my mind.

hey, and, he's a silly guy!!! please, i know the reputation is pissy and humourless, ESPECIALLY in fic, but that man is so funny. so many random offhanded comments that make me pause and then laugh. a different sense of humour but it's so there. i love the sandcastle vid from the asg last year and feel like it's a good example of that, all sunburnt and happy. also hey, big man in tune with his fear of the ocean? love that. that little vid of him dancing on the ice earlier this season, those halloween photos where he's dressed as a monkey, every time he talks to a kid. hell, seeing him in warmups and watching the way he takes time to interact fans?? loveee watching warmups but i'd never had a player actually acknowledge my existence before leon!

also i really enjoy his personality on the ice, i like the rat behaviour and the sassy comments that he makes to other players/refs, i like the bitch moves, and i like his hockey too. i think his game is dependable and like you said skillful, and while maybe not the most creative, the sureness and the technical aspect it is hot to me. so my thoughts on everything are probably skewed in that regard.

anyways this was just a whole lot of rambling about why i find him interesting, endearing even, but i understand the perception you have. i don't like some players that other people love, just cause i cant see what they see. and honestly that's sometimes just the way it is! if you don't like leon, maybe u just don't like him and thats fine.

disclaimer that i have only been on hockeyblr for a couple years, and really didn't spare many thoughts for leon til the beginning of the 22/23 season. truthfully i'm hardly the person to ask about leon imo, but of course i have thoughts anyways! if someone else with more knowledge reads my bit of rambling here, please feel free to chime in and add your voice to this!

and side note, ofc, i have to touch on this bc who would i be if i'm not one to talk about matthew; in the way of m.tkachuk, i think that in the early days of mattdrai it was maybe a fair take away during his time with the flames (minus the woobifying). even though he was loved so much here and had some fucking times, and i think the team was mostly good to him (player wise if not regarding management, that is), i see such a stark difference now that he's on the panthers. he seems much happier and more confident, and obviously he's clicking with the cats on another level, and i do see a shift in how he's been portrayed in fics since tbh.

#asks #anon #this is really all over the place #but hopefully there's something of value in this rambling #and if not thats fine too #honestly all a matter of perspective and vibes that u like ultimately #and i like leons vibes #whether thats from truth or projection who knows!! #also i didnt touch on 'he doesn't look like he's having fun' #but i would say i think the oilers as a whole need to have more fun #but i think i see him enjoying himself out there quite a bit #also the mean comment i dont see him being a mean individual at alllll #ahhh idk this post is so long sorry!!! #but thank u anon for taking the time and dropping this in the ask box #some things i really hadnt put too much thought into #anyways im gonna bow out here bc im just gonna keep going if i dont stop myself #anyone feel free to tack on to any of this!!

"The thing is...I mean, there's times when you look at the universe and you think, 'What about me?' and you can just hear the universe replying, 'Well, what about you?'"

Unity appeared to consider this.

"Well, what about you?" she said.

Susan sighed. "Exactly." She sighed again. "You can't think about just one person while you're saving the world. You have to be a cold, calculating bastard."

"That sounded as if you were quoting somebody," said Unity. "Who said that?"

"Some total idiot," said Susan.

Tumblr v. Twitter

I was laughing to Mr. Mojo about the whole Goncharov thing we've collectively been manifesting this weekend, and he pointed out what is possibly the most meaningful and fundamental difference between Tumblr and Twitter.

He said, On Twitter, no one says 'we'.

Tumblr is a mutable organism that is greater than the sum of its parts.  We are a ‘we’.

#tumblr #tumblr is a community #we are a 'we' #twitter #tumblr vs twitter #twitter refugees #gotta learn this fundamental change in perspective #tumblr community #goncharov #twitter is not a collective #twitter is a bunch of individuals #whereas tumblr is an organism #that is greater than the sum of its parts

Okay listen, playing the Continuance and words cannot describe the effects Ruan Mei has on me. This isn’t like a “Omg her design and voice 😍” kind of thing, this is an “Oh my god HER WRITING?? HER IDEOLOGY?? IM NEVER RECOVERING” kind of thing

The way that HSR handles its divinity of the Aeons, not only has them stretch out across the universe causing multiple factions to pop up in relation to said Aeons with all kinds of outlooks and perspectives about them based upon their paths, their actions and their “blessings”, but also down to individual characters perspectives and relationships regarding individual Aeons and just the concept of Aeonhood in general is AAAHHJJ ITS SO GOOD

I need more Ruan Mei, I need to see more of her desire to create an Emanator and become an Aeon herself. I need that explored so much more I want to know so much more

Her treatment of her creations and outlook regarding her own research is something so interesting to me that I literally can’t put into words. Like the conflicting nature of her feelings regarding them and how they align with her objectives and looking at her research alongside her general demeanor is so????

I need more of her in my life, I need more characters who question the nature of Aeons for whatever reason at all like I love

#ruan mei QUEEN #I am still in pain over her treatment of cheese tart and ashy paste #but that doesnt change my love and interest in her #the specific exploration that has been done like on the luofu regarding outlooks with the aeons #is smth I have severely enjoyed #and seeing Ruan Mei’s own individual perspective a genius picked by Nous is so so interesting #i need more #hsr #honkai star rail #ruan mei #1.6 spoilers #hsr spoilers #vaguely… just in case

still thinking about how li lianhua expected to exit the world as a ghost on the wind, because that's all anyone ever viewed him as when fitted over the memory of li xiangyi. but fang duobing never knew li xiangyi, never forced li lianhua to be him, and witnessed him and his current life and took him as he was now, not who he thought he should be. and so by virtue of seeing li lianhua like that, fang duobing ensured that li lianhua still left the world as a person in someone's eyes and not a mirage

Reading the Robo-Ky side story from Ky's perspective makes it into an absurdist comedy

IDs in alts.

#guilty gear #robo ky #ky kiske #illym art #since ky fighting justice made him heavily reconsider whether gears could live happy lives #slash whether gears could be anything but mindless beasts (paraphrasing) #do you think he went home after this and thought about all the robo kys he killed #because like. i like robo ky. ky is justified for fighting them considering the actions many of them take. #but i want to know if he thought about how every robo ky he fought was an individual with their own hearts. despite their purpose #though its emotionally complicated by the fact that theyre copies of him #i should think about it more. #but yeah its a really fucking funny story from kys perspective.

“Jin Guangyao would rather bow than die, Nie Mingjue would rather die than bow” is such an interesting line because it really puts in perspective the fundamental divide between these two.

-> The first thing is that, it's not just that JGY would rather bow, it's that he cannot die and he cannot quit so he must bow, as many times as necessary to guarantee his own survival. He cannot die because the most important thing for him in his life is his mother and his life goal is to realize his mother's wishes. If he dies, he cannot accomplish what she wanted for him and by doing so he would betray all the effort she put in raising him in adversity and teaching him all of what she knew. Another important element is also that if he dies, there will be no one to remember him or his mother (tho for him it depends on the times of his life, but even when he is Sect Leader Jin, outside of himself, who would remember Meng Shi ?). "Bowing" is considered to be the less honorable way to get through difficult situations, when dying would be the honorable way, but in his case, for most of his life, he is already considered to be at the lowest level of honor possible just by being born, so he has no honor to protect with his death and everything to gain by doing anything he can to survive.

-> On the other hand, if we look at NMJ perspective, there are actually good reasons for him to consider that if he is in a situation where he has to choose, he cannot choose to bow and if it is the only two options he must choose to die. NMJ cannot bow because his main motivations and the most important things in his life are his sect and his family. If he bow and thus choose the "less honorable" option, he is putting shame not simply on himself but also on his entire sect and all of his ancestors. In his case and if he has no choice, dying is a better option because all of his actions since he became sect leader at something like 16 will reflect directly on the sect and an honorable death is better than a shameful survival. Obviously he would prefer to live as protecting his sect is so important to him, but faced with a choice he cannot destroy all of what his ancestors worked for by showing that the Nie sect accept to bow, to lie or to betray for their own interest, so he have to die.

It builds a really interesting opposition between them because JGY cannot afford to die because his name means nothing and NMJ cannot afford to bow because his name is known to everybody. The fact that they are really similar in their absolute dedication to their family make it more tragic that NMJ never was able to understand JGY's perspective on survival. Framing it as a choice is also interesting because if we look into it, it is perceveid by society as one, but based on who they are and what they must do, they have really little to say on the matter.

#jin guangyao #nie mingjue #mdzs #mdzs meta #tbh i think both perspectives are legit and justified by who they are #if anything it show they are living in a shitty system #where reputation classism and social rules will shape the entire lives of individuals

i really hate the phrase "you don't owe anyone anything" because while people aren't obligated to do a lot of different things people do in fact owe people things in a community!

#y'all will we dont owe anyone anything yourselves into being completely alone #i'm being serious #i'm so tired of seeing this phrase in relation to fandom #and outside of it #it's more complicated than that of course and isn't a blanket overall for every little thing or interaction but #individualism really grinds my gears in a way my collectivist ass raised self cannot stand #i fully am aware my upbringing is coloring my perspective #but calling people selfish for wanting engagement on their works is wrong #calling people selfish for wanting kindness and consideration from others is also wrong #it's such a lonely ass take!

Talking about using the term fan- I wonder if Dan has watched Hank Green’s new video on vlogbrothers- it’s an interesting analysis of the creator side of the parasocial relationship

really hope he watched it because it was genuinely so good! i'd love for dnp to have that kind of open discussion about their perception of their community now and how they think of us as a collective/what emotions they feel when thinking about their community

#anon ask #also what hank said about how he has to remember the collective is made up of individuals with a shared interest but who are different #if im being brutally honest im still not convinced dnp fully understand their audience as much as they think #bc they essentially only interact with twitter phandom who's ages skew younger and have different motivators in how they engage in fandom #do they assume the average viewer is still a good 10 years younger than them? are they more aware that a lot of us are their age or older? #do they think we all have the same perspectives because twitter is so vocal about theirs? is in the younow chat all over again? #IM SO INTERESTED DNP CAN WE SIT DOWN IN A ROOM I WANT TO STUDY YOU
