#mind you #when i play the game on my phone the volumes always low so i never heard the instrumental and i always am just 'please log me into the game #snow plays lads #its very pretty !! #NOT DISSING THE GAME BTW i actually like it #i have some Hm about the plot itself but when you look at the side story stuff? #all of thats super fun and ive been enjoying that + hearing about the myths #(becuase i didnt unlock them) #(i think i have rafayels. because this boy keeps coming home to me) #i think once i started looking at the myths thats when i was like oHHHHHHHH I SEE WHY THIS THEME SONG.... #but the plot itself? Huh. #i havent played otome games in forever alksjdfh #that used to be a huge thing for me like 4 years back or more idk #and all it took was me getting dragged in bc of voice actors 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄aye #OH YEAH MY POLL....

can't it even be more obvious thomas. why are you surprised that a sudrian historical site filled to the brim with armor and weaponry that dates back to the middle ages has old people afflicted with the gold dust working around the castle

Just curious what the average level of personal investment in these sorts of things is. Like, how much do people usually get into silly stuff like this their friends ask of them? etc. etc. Which I know, only surveying a small sample on a very specific website means I'm not getting an exact average idea lol, but.. curious nonetheless .. Maybe reblog for bigger sample size but also this is not very serious at all/not worth a call to action gbhjbhjb

#which I know this could be context dependent like.. maybe you'd normally dress up but on a week that #you feel sick you wouldn't or etc. etc. - but I mean.. GENERALLY. in the most general average scenario #where you have the average amount of health and free time that you always do. etc. just based on your personality #and level of investment in these things - what on AVERAGE are you most inclined to do #also of course assume they communicate with you ahead of time and are not like planning a part last minute #like 'throw together costume in 5 hours and show up tonight randomly' or etc. I would hope that if we're going with the #AVERAGE of things - most people's friends have better communication skills than springing entire parties #on people last minute lol #assume you have like.. a few days-a week or so to prepare. however ealrly people usually start talking about #birthdays. In my experience it's usually one or two weeks ahead of time. Like 'oh next weekend' or 'oh two weeks from now' etc. #ANYWAY.. feeling a little Sick again of course but still trying to get some photos or something posted #AGAIN i promise I am not going to exlcusively post polls and ntohing else forever hgkjgnekj #I just really really love the ability to post polls and have always my whole life been obsessed with surveying people #I used to think I wanted to do that as a career somehow like.. be one of the people that does psychological interviews #or produce interview asessments for a company or etc. etc. I am always the one friend in the group thats giving out custom made #surveys or asking for other simialr stuff (did you ever take an mbti quiz? how about enneagra #m?? oh yeah I know they're not really scientifically valid or antyhing but like... DID you take them?? huh?? did you??please?? ghjj) #I simply cannot resist.. posting a little poll every once in a while.. as a treat #whilst I still fall behind on like actual content and costumes and stuff gbjhbjh #New poll adventure should be not as much of a wait as the last one was though since I already have the writing #for it really. I just have to do the ms paint sketch. hopefully no unexpected other health issues will get in the way #*** *** *** #< (anytime I do these three star patterns it is an ocd compulsion not me bleeping out words or something just ignore it lol) #(it means something secret in my evil brain just pretend you do not see it. significant only to me) #BUT YEAH.. ... poll... what type of costume party atendee are you? #:0c

[toughtink]

just curiousssss 👀🩸

for the purposes of this poll, i’m not counting things like forms of birth control or other situations that stop menstruation entirely.

#i’m curious if i missed a form of period control beyond something that stops it entirely #periods #menstruation #people who menstruate #polls #oh yeah i also appreciate shares #this is just me being curious tbh #obv what i choose to use depends on circumstance but i think my fave is the cup #it’s just so nice to not worry about running out of pads or tampons #honestly these days my period ia rarely heavy enough to warrant it #one of the positives of having an iud

"if I had a nickel for every time (insert thing here), I'd have 2 nickels. which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice"

#poll #so many ppl casually use this and i was just curious if they actually know its origin #like it feels less like a meme and more like just a thing ppl say now #phineas and ferb #oh yeah this is my first poll #feel free to respond w/ more detail or anything like where u thought it was from or

[gay-otlc]

This is mainly directed towards trans people but if you're cis and you changed your name feel free to vote as well

#personally i avoid using names if i'm referring to myself from when i changed my name #which is kinda weird because i frequently refer to my past self by name if it's from the last year and a half #like 'oh fuck [past name] for procrastinating this task and leaving it for present [name]' #but i don't do that if it's far enough in the past that i wasn't [name] back then #i don't want to call myself past [birthname] either though so i just say like. past me #anyway yeah. something i was wondering about #polls

Okay so inspired by nothing in particular (it's inspired by reading the notes on the ace swag final poll, fun stuff in there), I have been thinking about being Cringe. Cause like, you enter a fandom, and usually, you find out shortly that somebody else hates that fandom. There is no fandom niche enough that it's not Weird to somebody, and there's no fandom mainstream enough that it's not Annoying to somebody else. And given the fact that some people do hatred recreationally, there's often going to be somebody mad enough about your fandom that they're going to go on diatribes about how your fandom is bad and actually harmful and destroying the fabric of civilization, etc. They're gonna pull out anything negative and blow it up until it's the size of the skyline and attack you for liking this negative thing.

Fun times, we've all seen it.

And the thing is, there's an impulse to have this happen and immediately find somebody else to point to and say, yeah, well, I might be weird, but at least I'm not THAT guy. I might read YA, but at least I'm not a Furry— those guys are sexual deviants! I might be into actual play podcasts, but at least I'm not into mcyt— those guys are all harmful and my guy is fine. I might be into danmei, but at least I'm not into bandom— rpf is so gross. I might be a furry, but at least I'm not into mainstream romance novels— senseless drivel aimed at middle class white women. Y'know. Immediately find someone to punch down on.

And boy do I understand why you want to do that, when people are pointing at you, but I don't actually think that it's helpful.

Cause like, every fandom has a logical train of thought and reasonable human impulses behind it. You might not share those impulses— I'm not a furry I don't think, I don't really get true crime— but that doesn't mean I can't have it explained to me by a very patient person in in the writer's workshop common room and go "oh, yeah, kinda pretending to be an animal, but you're gay about it, yeah, makes sense", or "oh yeah, morbid curiosity from the safety of your headphones, it's like a horror movie but real" and nod. Like there isn't a fandom or group out there that doesn't look weird from the outside, and there isn't a fandom or group that can't be explained if someone has thought about the human psyche enough.

And that isn't to say that there isn't sometimes salient critiques for what fandoms are doing or not doing— to grab the two examples above, I have heard people talking about issues with true crime reinforcing the current fucked up justice system, or bigotry at furry cons. But a) most of the time, there is already somebody inside that community that's fighting against those issues, and you just threw them under the bus with the problem they're trying to fix b) you don't usually know the nuances of the actual conversation and problems, you saw a couple callout posts. You saying "Yeah I'm a board game nerd but at least I don't play competitive trading card cames, those guys are doing nothing but feeding the capitalist machine" is not usually helpful towards fixing the ctg scene. It's just a cheap way to score points.

Like, I assure you that the YA scene is aware of the calcification of the genre into a tighter and tighter romantic form and their dependence on going big on tik-tok to sell enough to keep publishing. They know.

You specifically saying that your fandom is better cause it's not [problems you heard about other fandom having] is not actually going to make the person who's hating on you stop hating. They already decided that you're the person they're better than and that they're punching down on, you passing the punching down on to another fandom just makes more people sad on the internet, and potentially starts yet another chain of someone punching down at someone else. The wheel grinds on, everybody gets punched.

I guess this is just kinda turning into a "why hate on the internet, what good does that do" post, which is broader than I meant it to be. But like, there's a difference between thoughtful critique of problems (complicated to do fairly but very necessary) and finding someone new to curbstomp to make yourself feel better/morally superior (look, I'm writing this on a mcyt blog, we've all seen this happen, it does not increase the joy in the world).

Like in MCYT, we all decide to punch down on [other server we hate], or RPF, or people who write kidfic, or people who write e-rated fic/art, or people doing the popular trope of the moment, and sure, it lets you feel morally superior for the moment, at the cost of slapping the guy next to you. Haven't we had enough slapping the guy next to you? There but for the grace of god (got a fun idea/watched the wrong stream/ended up in the wrong brainstorming circle/got fixated on the wrong funny guy) goes I. You're not better than another group just because you saw a couple more callout posts (usually from people inside the community trying to fix things) about them.

We are all Cringe. There is nobody who's not Cringe. Don't say that you're not Cringe because someone else is more Cringe. Stop that.

#discourse #This is another thing where the public/private rule applies too I think #cause social media is public and what you do there is governed by different politeness rules #walking into your friend's dms and saying GOD I AM SO ANNOYED BY [other fandom] is a normal human impulse #posting that where other people can see that is potentially much more like shouting in the face of a random person #idk this is potentially something where me having a thousand followers is warping the perspective #cause I try to be really aware of the fact that who knows what people who see my posts are into #there's nobody I can throw under the bus and not have them see it #if you have eight followers all of which you know #you're much more effectively in a private space #idk #boy reading the tags on that ace swag poll was kinda a Oh Yeah They Really Hate Us moment #I forgot that cause I was just happy over here #but boy are we still an internet's favoured punching bag #and I just think making an effort to not continue to punching bag people might be good #fandom meta

Okay goomenheads. Question:

#i have a bunch of goomen polls i wanna do but idk how much of an Audience i have for that kind of thing on here yet. so i'll start small #so follow if you wanna see more polls i promise they're better than this #open mick night #good omens #gomens #crowley #good omens polls #oh fuck yeah #my answer btw is i think he is a twink only when it's funny. i think his primary gender is d-slur but 'butch twink' is acceptable #he's a twink when i want to say Save Me Ginger Twink. he's just a dslur when i want to talk about tasteful chest hair. you understand

[lucalicatteart]

cannot resist using the polls to make up a little collaborative story lol.. Not sure how much I can keep it up with my low energy/health problems lol, but I'll try to draw a new picture (+ write a small text blurb and new action options to vote on) each day based on the past day's results, at least for a while. Kind of like a 'sketch a day' type challenge, except story based with votes choosing what happens next. :0

#trusty old MSpaint.. the best program for very quick sketches lol #also I'm sure other people have already done this - even though I havent seen it I know its out there. If there's currently #some really popular story poll going around or soemthing I'm not trying to copy anyone. i just love things like this and do them #whenever possible (collaborative stories with friends on social media messages. making little text adventure games #in forums. etc. etc.). Immediately once I saw the poll feature I was like OH!!! IT COULD BE USED FOR THAT!! #anyway! #also posting on my art blog since it is kind of an art challenge-y sort of thing and then it wont clog up my main #blog. I can just reblog only the most recent poll on there #Hopefully will keep it up for at least a week - or longer - though I may have to skip days in the middle #my chest muscle stuff is still kind of flared up so it limits how long I can sketch on the computer #though these only take like 20-30 min depending on amount of detail so #hopefully managable llol #but yeah!!! vote!! #choose this little elf (and his cat)'s fate! : 0
