#cause they're fucking dumb

[iamanartichoke]

Will someone plz tell the newer loki fan blogs that he did not say he was an unloved child in the first avengers. At least not those words exactly

I mean, the meta is there. Thousands upon thousands upon millions of words, written over the last ten years, discussing the complex and layered and complicated story of Loki, his relationship with Thor, his upbringing and family, his perception of how much he was or wasn't loved, etc etc etc. If newer Loki fan blogs want to dismiss all of that and claim that Loki never loved Thor, or that Loki says he was unloved, or whatever - I'm certainly not going to stop them, but I'm not gonna interact with them, either, bc those aren't the kind of fans I'm interested in engaging with.

Liberals really view Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, and the Russian Federation as one continuous blob of Evil Russianness and expect people to take their opinions on anything related to it seriously

#and most people in the west do #cause they're fucking dumb

I think I'll just say this: I don't agree when people call any of the islanders "bad parents" just because their parenting is flawed.

Like, parents and their parenting is flawed. Inherently. One parent cannot meet all the demands of their child; it is literally impossible. As humans are imperfect, there will always be something missing or lacking in one's parenting. Hell, sometimes even two parents can't meet all their child's needs, depending on their personalities. If that's the case, then I guess all parents are bad parents. But that's not the case, so I don't get why people are so adamant when they see that a parent isn't handling things 100% perfectly and go "wow this person's parenting sucks."

And this is even more so when you take into account... pretty much everything going on in Quesadilla island. These people never really planned to be parents, yet here they are! And this island is out to kill these kids, so it's also a dangerous game of survival now, too! There are horrors around pretty much every corner. Plus, outside or inside forces are making the islanders suffer very often. The islanders are never okay. How they take care of their children is going to be different just by the very basis of their environment. The standards of parenting are different here. Their relationships with people, including their children, were never going to be 100% healthy or positive or okay. It's just not possible.

so, no, I don't think that just cause, say, q!Tubbo or q!Phil aren't great in regards to their emotional intelligence and often isolate themselves, or when any other parents in general don't handle what their children are going through perfectly, that they're bad parents. That kinda statement feels like it diminishes pretty much all the hard work and effort and love they put into taking care of their kids and even kids that aren't their own. Tubbo gives his everything for Sunny, and was/is an active babysitter for a lot of other eggs. Phil works so hard to love and teach survival to and take care of his two eggs equally. (Like, being 'basically' a single parent, of one or WORSE, two, is already hard enough in the real world - imagine being one on this fucking hellscape they're on).

Like, I don't think there's anything wrong with pointing out the parents' flaws. Their flaws make them human, and it'd be foolish to disregard their humanity. And it's interesting to analyze their flaws and what they say about the character, and how they impact their family. There's nuance there, and it should be discussed.

But I think when you're just going "oh, they're bad at parenting in general" because they fumble the bag in other departments lacks nuance. Sure, if you're just saying "they're bad when it comes to certain aspects of parenting," that's a different story, because that's understanding their flaws while recognizing that those flaws don't define all of their parenting. But to just say they're bad at it in general isn't productive analysis of their characters in any way. I haven't watched q!Phil take care of his egg for a whole year (followed by a second egg more consistently shortly after) only for people to shit on his parenting just because his lack emotional intelligence is more noticeable as of recent due to all the trauma and bullshit he's endured. And I haven't seen q!Tubbo put his whole heart into taking care of Sunny as well as multiple other eggs, being Chayanne and Tallulah's reliable godfather, just for people to put down his efforts because he's not always great at more emotionally in depth conversations. They're good parents in a lot of ways, and those strengths shouldn't be discredited just because they aren't good at other things. Their characters deserve way better than that.

tldr these parents are all good in many regards and are just trying their damn best in the worst of circumstances, can we cut them just a bit of slack, please?

#qsmp #fuck it i'm tagging the characters i mentioned #philza #tubbo #missy rambles #also tldr this discourse is fucking dumb #like jesus calling them bad parents feels like it's shitting on all the time they've spent on this damn island taking care of these kids #all cause they're bad at talking about feelings sometimes? give me a break

so.... i recently (2 days ago) started to read bokuaka fics without ever watching the anime or reading the manga.... it just happened cause i am reading bnha fics and anytime i go to see more works of an author, haikyuu pops up in their fandom list and one bokuaka fic’s plot caught my eyes and i clicked it and i was like “ok i’m sold” so.... yeah....

#they're so cute????? #i watched things online #fan arts and bits from the anime just to get better into the fics but #i still feel fucking dumb cause WHO DOES THAT? #who reads FANFICS before watching the anime???? #i dnt even know anymore with myself #bokuaka #haikyuu #bokuto koutarou #akaashi keiji

I don't trust no fuckin body that doesn't question or criticize their own government

#the American government WISHES everyone would blindly trust every thing they say as fact #there is not a government in the world that shouldnt be criticized #“oh yeah well my government said-” AND YOU TRUST THEM??? #YOU THINK THEY WOULDN'T LIE TO YOU #YOU THINK THEY'RE NOT MANIPULATING YOU TO BE A LOYAL LITTLE SOLDIER THEY CAN USE AS CANON FIRE? #i just can't understand it #how can you be so fucking dumb to believe the people that directly benefit from lying to you #marco yell #“obviously those people were arrested because they committed crimes” yeah man who exactly told that? was it the person who arrested them? #was it the person who has a reason to make you think they're always in the right and have never done anything wrong #is it the person who needs your support and backing to kill the “criminal” and deem “punishment” #is it the same person that the us police modelled their tactics after? #except somehow worse cause us courts don't accept confessions that were beaten out of people #(i would also like to very loudly state fuck the usa btw this place also fucking reeks and sucks balls)

can one of you f1 girlies become a journalist and interview the drivers who refused to take a knee because they wanted to fight racism in a different way/disagreed with how blm went about seeking justice and ask them, now that nearly 3 years have passed since the may protests, what steps they've taken to educate themselves on racism? what actions they've taken to improve things for people of colour within formula one/motorsports as a whole? or how they've gone about promoting racial equity in their own country?

#f1 #formula one #its been long enough surely they must have made some headway? right? (: ? #no those dumb fucking black and white anti racism videos dont count because their vagueness allowed #for them to be co-opted by white people who believe racism exists and that the whole of blm/equality movements are racist to them #from what ive seen literally only lewis has taken action to set up foundations and research groups focusing #on improving racial diversity at both grassroots and professional levels #others have given lip service but genuinely if another driver has been helpful in fighting racism in motorsports do mention #it would be a very very pleasant surprise #because the whole we race as one movement was very much image control #it was always going to be down to lewis and the other poc in the sport like zhou or yuki to fight against the unique and #insidious racism they face in the sport. ultimately the others won't because while racism is a problem they have #and causes problems for others. they see it as a problem they're not responsible for solving #and im sure most of them genuinely truly dont think theyre racist. dont know how their actions can enforce racism #but lewis has stood there and explained over and over again both behind closed doors and tv screens #and at a certain point that continued refusal to listen or engage becomes active and malicious ignorance #and that makes you racist. whether they believe that of themselves or not.

I think the real tragedy about playing Axl Low is being like "Man I have to try so hard to keep people out, I'm the only one not carried in this game" and then you play literally any other character and get your ass beat and it's like "Oh my god I literally don't know what to do if my buttons don't do all of neutral for me" and it turns out you're just as carried as anyone else you pretentious zoning bastard.

#sairambles #guilty gear #axl low #this is self callout post cause I tried to play Ky for the first time in a while and just got fucking whacked lol #I wanna play Testament and Johnny real bad but Testament is kinda meh and Johnny is very hard #Like it takes a lot of effort to be successful with Testament #which is a shame because they're SO COOL #I can SEE the vision with all the stuff you can do with Stain and Succubus but it's so hard #nothing but respect for Testament players I hope your new move is as dumb as Whistling Wind

A demon twins idea where they think they're brothers, but due to some mishaps half of Danny's DNA belongs to Dick while Damian got Bruce's. They only find this out because Danny got real mad at his Grandfather and bit him hard enough to draw blood that one time so Ra's checked to see if he got rabies from his idiot grandchild and something in those tests didn't look right. He got his doctors to investigate further and oh no that child is Grayson's, they have to get rid of him fast.

Because Bruce might get a little mad at Talia for hiding his son from him if he ever finds out, but Richard Grayson? Richard Grayson would rain hell upon them.

#dpxdc #dcxdp #demon twins #except oops they're half-brothers #dumb little snippets #an AU where Ra's is actually genuinely fond of his grandkids #but Danny takes way too much after Dick #he'd rather save himself the headache and arrange for Danny to have a nice normal life in the middle of nowhere America #where he can't possibly cause any trouble #double oops he gave Danny to the Fentons #fuck

the harsher parts of mental illness are always treated so so badly in media and it's genuinely very special to see someone handling them gently - especially because you've said it's very personal for you and that makes it so much easier to like? live in i suppose? because like you said the guilt can be overwhelming and the crushing weight of knowing KNOWING that you're one bad day away from wrecking an important relationship just out of pure FEAR can be so debilitating to live with especially bc people do fundamentally view that as just. a bitch response. knee jerk malice. but it's not half the time it's sheer fear (which doesn't excuse it but it does explain more) so it's nice to see that being treated like the actual complex response it is <3

yes omfg i need to stop getting surprised when taob winds up being incredibly cathartic for me bc i put a bit of myself in it and (shocker!) there are people like that who actually get it. like there are multiple people that to this day ACTIVELY dislike me because i not only said something bad to them but because i ON PURPOSE took the thing i knew would hurt them most and said it in the harshest way i possibly could. like that was a conscious effort on my part i went out of my way to think about what would hurt them and i just went for their jugular. but i wasn't doing it for the sake of meanness any more than i was doing it because they deserved it. like i said before there are two instances when i do this and that's as a defence mechanism or to self-destruct. i dont really do the former anymore - and that took YEARS to grow out of bc that was my Main Response to literally ANY conversation i didnt want to have. people are significantly less likely to ask you personal questions if you immediately try and make them cry when they do lol. this is where 90% of my 'i was a bitch in secondary school' posting comes from - but ironically the less i gave into the former the more it translated into the latter, so i lost either way and so did the people around me. i really dont think im that bad anymore bc i found ways around it and now i cant think off the top of my head anything even CLOSE to what i used to do that's happened recently, but i have YEARS OLD guilt from long dead friendships that i will - and deserve to - live with forever bc regardless of the reasoning behind it i still said terrible things. and like. it never gets talked about bc from an outside pov im very obviously being a complete cunt and who would want to sympathise with that

#like when i get a certain way my go to response to it nowadays is to isolate and typically that would be a bad thing #and a couple weeks ago actually boom noticed me doing it and naturally bc they're a good friend #they were worried and wanted to figure out a way around it bc isolating during a depressive episode is generally considered a Bad Call lol #but the reason i isolate is bc ive now learnt my own tells to figure out when my self-destructive behaviour is gonna start lashing out #like i literally remove myself from people now bc i KNOW if i dont regardless of if they're trying to help me #that dumb voice in my head is either gonna want to get them the fuck away #OR i'll want to like. 'prove' to them that im fundamentally this awful person and they're better off without me #and either way it doesnt end well for anyone involved #like the damage i deal myself by doing that is significantly higher than the damage i deal myself when i isolate #even if neither are particularly enjoyable #and it's got a twisted reassurance to it too like id rather hurt myself alone than take other people down with me #and i like to think that proves that - regardless of how rough around the egdes i am and the hurt ive caused - im actually a kind person #and like. that's what growing up is about! im learning coping mechanisms and ways around it! im getting better! #yes it's not perfect but by fucking god is it an improvement lol #ask #taob asks

I don't care if Tumblr is "dying", I am NOT moving back to Twitter Dot Com.

#sammy rambles #nope sorry can't make me #twitter has given me so many woes on my mental health and not worth the fucking drama #idk how it's STILL up with that fucking muskrat #and it's so dumb cause I've JUST gotten back to using Tumblr and now they're like 'teehee we might die start packing your bags!' #i know nothing's gonna happen and we're freaking out over nothing but GOD DAMN #it's just so funny to me

#listen if you're living in western europe or america or canada or anywhere that's not next to the border of ukraine #and you feel the need to express opinions online about how ukraine's neighbours should handle this conflict just fucking don't #just shut the fuck up #i've seen so many dumb people - some americans some not americans #but all of them way too far away from the conflict #expressing opinions about the fact that russian drones apparently flew above romanian airspace #and how romania is stupid for not acting (as in escalating) #bitch you have no clue how real this war feels here and how real it's been ever since the first refugees arrived in our country #hell even i can't imagine how real it feels for people living 200 metres from the ukrainian border #having drones above their houses every night and knowing one slight military mistake could end their lives #i'm not saying that our authorities should do nothing which they basically are atm because they're some useless pieces of shit #but you and even i living hundreds of km away from the border can't fucking imagine what it's like to have your life on the line #so if you have an opinion just keep it for yourself cause none of us want to read it on the internet

Tbh its gonna be really funny to me that I bet after a couple months the increase of people using tumblr live will either go up a nearly miniscule amount or nothing at all. I hope that they look at that and get almighty amounts of pissed over it cause they couldn't make any money and sacrificed even more user trust over this bs

#I truly dont think anymore people will use it cause we're talking about people who turned it off every week religiously #putting an annoying button that you can't get rid of isnt going to make sure use that service #if people want live stream content they go to twitch or yt live #if people want short content they go to tiktok or yt shorts #tumblr simply isn't the niche for that kinda content and it's kinda sad that they're trying to push it so aggressively #and I cant take it all in good faith thanks to their recent behavior towards lgbt stuff and trans women #just makes me think that theres a bunch of complete and utter assholes of terfs hanging out somewhere higher up #which fucking sucks #anyway tumblr live is dumb and pointless back to loz fixation

okay time to go bother an actual eye doctor because I wanna be the dead secretary so bad. this feels so unhinged and extra. i feel like they're going to laugh me out of the building. but. life is sooooo fucking short man

twice this month we've been in the car when some other car decides they either do not see my mom's car or do not have to obey proper driving rules and almost run right into us and. I love car rides. I love being in the car. I love riding around and looking at stuff. but every time we get into the car now I am so uncomfortable and tense and very scared and it is not cool

#my body will not unclench. wahoo #it's not like the first time this has ever happened but that one two weeks ago was like. wayyyyyyyy too fucking close. #I MEAN I DON'T THINK WE WOULD'VE. UH. BEEN INJURED. CAR WOULD'VE BEEN SMACKED INTO THOUGH. CAUSE THAT GUY DIDN'T YIELD AT A MERGER #and then today this car in the other lane kept swerving back and forth #which was. why would you do that. very scary bc you dont know where they're going next. #JUST KEEPS HAPPENING KINDA FREQUENTLY LATELY AND I DON'T LIKE IT #and like. my instinct in these situations is GASP AND FREEZE i have no reaction instinct but also I'm in the passenger seat. #but that's. a reason i will not drive like idk if i will acquire that reaction ability to not just Freeze #and try to make myself as small as possible. #and then i feel guilty that i don't drive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that my mom has to do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i feel really bad!!!!!!!!! #and I'm like. scrutinizing every single car that drives by like ARE YOU GONNA BE DUMB.
