#do i just have bad taste in people

[beelzzzebub]

just found out the guy i've been talking to is a creep. again.

#boink #maybe im just emotionally unstable but this is hitting me very unpleasantly #like idk #i know already that i don't really tend to attract romantic attention that often #why is it that the only two situations i've been in have been with shitty creepy guys #like #do i just have bad taste in people #ik the first person i was talking to i didn't really actually like that much #i was just surprised that someone liked me like that and i jumped at it #but even if i didn't actually have serious feelings for this person now #i mean i at least liked them as a person #like shit #i don't know #anyways i found out from a friend who apparently 'heard through the grapevine' #that we were talking #which is uncomfy to me in itself #bc i didn't know there was a grapevine to be hearing from anymore #but they said that they had some bad experiences with him and so did some other people they know #and like to just be careful #which i appreciate #so much #that they told me you know #but i'm just kind of reeling a bit now #maybe it's not such a big deal #idk #still though

Leo getting hit with a truth curse but instead of forcing him to admit to super sad or worrying things it’s things like “it was me who broke the remote” “I saw Mikey prank Donnie and helped hide it because it’s way funnier if he didn’t know who it was” “I rip my clothes to look more like Raph’s because he’s really cool” “my stripes aren’t even red they’re pink!”

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #plot twist he COULD be admitting angsty stuff but he’s pushing the less oof truths forward instead on purpose #raph: hey leo what do you want for dinner #leo: *about to bare his soul on all his internal torment but pivots* I’m afraid of snakes #(no but fr Leo’s stripes being technically more pink instead of red is cute ngl) #(a very reddish pink to the point that in certain lighting it looks red but at the base they’re p pink) #(i also am very fond of the idea that Leo doesn’t just have questionable taste in fashion he also just loves Raph a lot and looks up to him) #but yeah I think that something like this would be 99% Leo admitting to unimportant things or admitting to how much he values everyone #like they all KNOW Leo loves them and he’s talked them up enough for them to know but it’s different when he’s like #‘I just wanna read my comics with you guys around - it’s my favorite place to be’ #or again just random bs that doesn’t REALLY have a lot of weight like #‘I like using my portals to prank random people around the world’ #‘I’m worried about being a bad influence on hueso jr’ #‘sometimes I kinda wanna see hypno’s plans succeed’ #‘it’s been way too long since I found this out and honestly it’s embarrassing but I actually don’t have a di-‘ #SORRY COULDNT HELP MYSELF #(<-but did u know that that pink rather than red observation actually ties into this headcanon as well if u know about red eared sliders)

every time i see someone shit on the xianzhou story quest on twitter i die a little bit inside.

#narus' corner #SO LET'S TALK ABOUT HOW EVERYONE HATED XIANZHOU BECAUSE EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHERS AND ANCESTORS HAD PULLED UP THEORY AFTER THEORY #AND WHEN SAID THEORY DID NOT FCKING GO ALONG WITH WHAT THE ACTUAL WRITERS HAD IN STORE HELL BROKE LOOSE #ion think u understand #maybe im biased. i probably am but the way hoyoverse tackled immortality with xianzhou is quite bittersweet honestly #YA'LL WANTED UR DOOMED YAOI AND YURI AND TBH ME TOO BUT THEY ARE STILL FCKING DOOMED EVEN IF SOME THEORIES DID NOT GO AS MOST SHIPPERS WANT #THEY STILL DOOMED MILADYS AND GENTS AND NONBINARY PEEPS DAN HENG IS SUFFERING FROM PTSD AS WE SPEAK. #u look at xianzhou and see predecessors suffering the consequences of what their ancestors wanted because of immortality and vow to stop it #because they been fighting people against GALAXIES who wants a taste of that immortality who also don't KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF IT WHICH I #LITERALLY GETTING MARA-STRUCK WHENEVER UR MEMORIES OVERLOAD FROM LIVING TOO LONG AND GO: damn this was shit writing cause i didn't understa #IMMA AAAH #eternal wars where when u find peace after winning you DON'T BECAUSE YOU TURN MARA-STRUCK FROM THE AMOUNT OF TRAUMA U HAVE #when immorality isn't immortality in a sense u can't be killed but long lifespan but then u can't even live said long lifespan #because u get mara-struck from participating in wars to protect AND YA'LL COME OVER HERE AND SAY BAD WRITING?! #and don't come with what the fuck is phantylia doing #ion think u understand how fucked we would've been if phantylia managed to actually absorb that ambrosial arbor AS A GODDAMN EMANATOR #OF DESTRUCTION OF ALL THINGS?! YA'LL WANT INFINITE HEALING WHILE GETTING BLASED OR SMTH!?! #and the aftermath which was probs the most hated on #imma just. #imma shut up LMFAO

I can't find art of my ship anywhere so I GUESS that means I have to make it myself, here are some doodles.

#ugh i can't believe i have to make my own shipping fanart #tfw you're complaining to your sister that you can't find any content of them but then you remember you have the power #man i do not know how to draw kissing or hugging or any of that romantic stuff #mostly i just know how to put paragraphs of dialogue in between two talking heads #but this seems to be something of a rarepair even though they are obsessed with each other so i suppose i gotta try #karlach #lae'zel #shipping #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #karlzel #i think that's the ship name but i have found so little of them that i'm genuinely not sure #laelach #(just in case) #but come on they're perfect! they're sunshine/raincloud! dog energy/cat energy! tall/small! hot and cold! canonically into each other! #character who represses sadness and character who doesn't understand happiness! pretty girls who can both bench press each other! #considering what their banter looks like i don't get how this isn't a more popular pairing. who else does karlach wistfully sigh over? #my sister tells me that lae'zel is not well-liked by the wider fandom and that that may be why (so sorry if other people have bad taste) #or maybe people don't often put the barbarian and the fighter together in the same party at the same time #anyway now that you're 100% convinced feel free to draw them making out so that i don't have to k thx <3

this is just kind of a big tangent but like I fucking hate when nerd ass losers see a game with even vague similarities to another game and go "ERMMM. HOW ORIGINALL (SARCASTIC). THIS IS JUST ANOTHER GAME IN THE STUPID TREND OF-" and then they list every genre/label under the sun to try and discredit the game as unoriginal by comparing it to other games. 90% of the time they haven't even played the game they're complaining about. they just see pixel art and get angry ig.

like look at this image. look at this and tell me it's not just alphabet soup. what do half of these words even mean. congrats on discovering what a genre is I guess?????????? good for you?????? do you want a fuckin award or something???? a little handclap??? shall I pour you a little glass of wine for being oh so smart and sophisticated for figuring out that Things Can Have Little Similarities Sometimes?????? just say that 7 years later you're still bitter that undertale got popular and leave oh my god "quirky dialogue" oh I'm sorry did you want your dialogue boring and soulless yeah let me just remove the personality from the game. here's your Nothing Burger I hope you're happy. "pixel art" oh so i guess like almost every game that came out in the 80s and 90s is actually just part of a so-called "2010s-2020s trend". These people genuinely think earthbound and celeste are "Basically The Same". it's not even an rpg. You had to throw in platformers in your disgusting word smoothie because otherwise you couldn't even find any real similarities besides "has a story and contains pixels". they think the psychological horror game Omori is just Undertale 2. yeah sorry guys Super Fuckin Mario Brothers is part of the quirky rpg metroidvania fjhksdgjhlkfgsdhkfgh-like diarrhea trend. cant play it now or you're cringe and bad. do you people ever get TIIIRRREEDDDDD. DO YOU EVER ENJOY THINGS. ON THEIR OWN MERIT. DO YOU EVEN GIVE THINGS A CHANCE. YOU'RE NOT SPECIAL FOR NOT LIKING THINGS YOU'RE BORING AND ANNOYING AS FUCK. I'm so fucking done

#im not gonna even unpack the meme format it's literally just “haha fat person said the thing so it's bad and cringe” like grow the fuck up #rant #this is just the notlikeothergirls thing except it's mostly grown ass men doing it so it's seen as more acceptable somehow #like “ERMMM I DONT LIKE POPULAR GAMESSSS... IM TOO COOL FOR THAT...” no one likes you #if they played the games and decided they weren't for them that'd be one thing. I can understand that. #not everyone is going to like the same things I like and I can live with that. that's fine. #but when you look at a game you so obviously haven't even touched #and decide it's terrible based on Nothing (aka Because It's Marginally Successful/Popular) #and then try to excuse that by somehow connecting it back to every other game you don't like no matter how big of a stretch it takes #that's shitty! #just say you don't wanna play it and leave people who like it alone #you don't have to moralize your taste in media #omori #celeste #earthbound #undertale #metroid #rpg #rpgmaker #indie game #indie games #indie rpg #games #gaming #video games

boy in silly sitting positions compilation

#cats #I especially like the last one where he just has one single paw poking out of that box for some reason lol #I still have costumes to post and like a billion other things.... grr... constantly failing at staying active on social media aughh #I think because currently my Main Focus is on trying to get my game done and stuff.. which basically just means sitting and writing all day #so there's not much to post about. Though I know the Good At Social Media thing to do would be to post about the #writing and share progress and talk about the game and characters or whatever to try to build interest or something but that is SOOO weird #to me.. I could maybe get it if it was like a tiny tiny discord groupchat of playtesters with like 5 people in #it.. But something about talking openly about things before they happen is weird to me?? Like presumptuous feeling or something #''oooo guess whats gonna happen LATER!!!'' like.. how do you know.. what if it doesnt. what if you dont finish it. what if its not the way #you think it's going to be. what if something changes. etc. Like I literally avoid movie trailers and game trailers for the same reason ghj #Even if it's not ME doing it it just feels... weird.. Maybe it has to do with my OCD and how I just don't like talking about ''future'' #things in Certain Terms. Like if I was going to say ''Oh yeah sure. come over to my house in a few months''. I would have to follow it up #with like ''HOPEFULLY you can come over to my house in a few months'' or 'They'll come over in a few months MOST LIKELY''. Because just #stating that something will happen matter of factly takes for granted like.. what if somehting horrible happens and I DONT have a house #in a few months? or what if something bad happens to me. or to the person coming over? I can't ever DEFINITELY say with 100% certainty #that one could ACTUALLY come to my house in a few months. anything could change. So I have to allot for that in my phrasing. hbjjkn #There are a lot of situations where you're expected to just Assume Things but for some reason that bothers me. My brain literally does not #even Assume the most basic things.. like how do *I* know that just because it's someones birthday that they want to be wished a happy #birthday? what if they dont? everyone is different and has different preferences. I should check with them first. or wait until they public #ly announce that theyre accepting birthday wishes. I have to allot for all 5034859069 rare possibilities at any given time and never take #anything for certain. etc. ghjbjhbh.... ANYWAY.. I have been feeling a bit sick lately as usual.. but still slowly making progress on some #things. Moslty I need to edit costume photos. make sculptures. and work on the game. Going back reading some of the old writing from like #2018 and suprisingly I don't have to change that much of it? In fact I like it mostly. so that's good. I would be very interested if I were #playing the game myself. Though that doesnt mean much since my tastes are so niche lol.. #Still really want to clear some of my million tumblr drafts as well... alas and aughh and ooughh and so on and so forth. Between all of my #evil appointments other such things...why cant I have one billion dollar to retire into relaxed hermit artist life of no stressors.. bleas

[buttercup-barf]

Tried imitating those cool portrait poster thingies with my two faves to celebrate my one hundred hours of having played the game. More doodles of lesser quality under the cut.

I just. I like them both so much. They are so sick and twisted, with such messed up implications in the lore, and they're also just silly little guys... :-)

#team fortress 2 #tf2 #miss pauling #miss pauling tf2 #dell conagher #engineer tf2 #i definitely have same-face syndrome. and same-body syndrome. and a *bad* comfort zone when it comes to drawing women. working on it though #yes i want to hold hands with both of them sue me for having fucking taste!! i guess my *real* type is just Stressed People. #you can see me flip-flop between heavy referencing and going off of memory and just doing whatever i want <3 #blood #blood tw #blood cw #because of pauling's bloody nose yeah.

[sorcerous-caress]

SOMEONE STOLE MY IDEA WORD FOR WORD AND IT GOT MORE ATTENTION BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE CONNECTIONS??? imma go throw my heart into a blender rq with bananas and all, then travel to the sewage treatment facilities to personally pour it into the gutters myself.

#They did so lamely too I'm screaming do people just have bad taste or was I aiming too fucking high apparently? #and no before anyone asks I'm not saying who bc it's just an idea. No point in being petty #it wasn't a whole fic or a drabble so it's cool #BUT STILL I'M LAUGHING SO HARD I NEVER EXPECTED A BIGGER BLOG TO COPY ME??? #fuck this stingggsss damn #no like it was WORD FOR WORD #ik you can't gatekeep ideas and they're up for grabs but if you're gonna steal it then AT LEAST MAKE IT GOOD #MAKE IT INTERESTING. PUT SOME EFFORT. #I'm blaming the people who ate it up more than them tbh

I really wish there was more insight as to why children are "picky eaters" because the way people go about "fixing us" can be detrimental to our relationship with food.

When I was a kid, I was obviously neurodivergent, and I wasn't tested for anything and never received any support. I was a huge "picky eater" to the point that going to a new restaurant with a menu I didn't know would send me into panic mode. I didn't understand why I felt that way, I didn't understand that I wasn't a selfish, horrible kid for being unable to force myself to eat. I'd be the person sitting at the dining room table for hours because I just couldn't force myself to eat the food I was given.

I understand why parents do that. It can be concerning when you think your kid isn't getting the proper nutrition. It's concerning when a kid's pallete is overly shrunk down. But if you're going about it in a punishing way, you only reinforce the idea that food is bad and dangerous. And if a child knows that eating their food would cause them less grief and stress than not eating the food, and yet they still will not or cannot eat, that's a sign. Maybe work with children, try to understand why they're a "picky eater." Chances are they're not doing it because they personally want to spite you and they despise your very aura.

#parenting #disordered eating #disordered eating tw #and honestly the punishment of food/mealtime is honestly one of the reasons it was *easy* for me to delve into more disordered behaviours #because there was already the looming idea that food was bad but i was worse for not conforming to people's expectations of what i eat #but it could have been so much easier if i was actually asked what about food made me so ridged and 'uncompliant' #and this isn't me saying that you can't/shouldn't address picky eating. i just don't think brute force is effective or appropriate... #...most of the time. many kids do have phases of picky eating and sometimes it's for no reason and sometimes it's because of big concerns... #...that brute forcing can't address. addressing the needs of a child is complex and takes time but it's worth it to get to a spot wherein... #...the child trusts that they're safe and that food isn't an enemy - it's just fuel and we can make that act taste great #just a thought my brain was like 'here's this before i got to sleep have fun thinking on it 👍'

If you use mods in video games that make characters look younger, remove wrinkles, smooth out skin, make them thinner… etc, etc…I hate you. 🙃

#I’ve hated the mods I’ve seen for odyssey and valhalla with a passion #I’m hating the ones I’m seeing for baldur’s gate just as much #people who wanna remove karlach’s scars and make her smaller? #people who need astarion to be more sexually attractive oh my god did you even pay attention during his cut scenes? #and this doesn’t even get into that one person whO MODDED WYLL INTO A WHITE MAN #make jaheira younger #give lae'zel a babydoll face #you people disgust me #you don't deserve to be in the company of other human beings ever #no friends no romantic partners nothing #can't even handle fictional people who don't look like lifeless over-airbrushed ai renders #how do you even manage in the real world looking at real people with GASP imperfections? #(not to mention the people who think these mods look better have just objectively bad taste I mean they're absolutely hideous and tacky...) #(you think jaheira should look like a kardashian? I spit on you) #artschoolrambles

sound that

#amazing even #the economic arguments for and against the monarchy always piss the fuck out of me bc tbh it does tend to equibrilate quite well #like sometimes the revenue they bring in actually exceeds what they cost #the issue is the insensitivity of it. the institution. like why do people act like saying ‘regardless of economic factors #i don’t want some sod in a golden carriage gallivanting about while I’m on food stamps bc it leaves a bad taste in my mouth #and wholesale increases elitism in a county that’s already the motherland of elitism’ #like that is a valid argument! stop hiding behind the economics of it all! it’s genuinely just a weird fucking concept to have a king still #we shouldn’t HAVE to do this back and forth of ‘the funeral cost this much >:(‘ ‘but the coronation put this much back into the economy >:(‘ #they want us to bicker amongst ourselves like that #uk politics

One of the staff workers in raised spirits DEF thinks dippers at least fucking one of the ciphers ghosts

I'd go so far as to say more than one of the staff members has certain Suspicions, re: Dipper talking to thin air all the time.

#answers #Poltergeist Bill's been keeping it on the down-low #Inasmuch as he's able to #But c'mon. The eerie atmosphere of the place. The way things move around #You could have sworn you put the thing one place and then it turns up in another inconvenient one #The sudden gust of *cold* nearby only to vanish when you startle #Also your boss yelling 'GodDAMNIT Bill' every once in a while #And arguing with thin air with big gestures. Leaving pauses long enough for someone to actually say something back #The latter being *really* hard to fake #I'd say more than a couple people have a hunch the place is actually legit haunted #I don't know about them thinking he's doing Bill - the more salient thing is them knowing there's a ghost at ALL #But Gideon left SUCH a bad taste in everyone's mouth that they're going with Dipper's 'nope totally normal manor' thing #Everyone's on board with 'screw that guy'. Gideon's just that unpleasant #Also regarding Bill's not-quite interactions with the staff #There's theoretically a snippet somewhere of an employee blearily watching someone invisible struggle with the coffee machine #Watching the spluttering electronics for a half-awake moment before nervously scooting a french press over there instead #That person's in Bill's good books now

Every time I think about how the Colleen Hoover fangirlies get mad when people even suggest that they should try and diversify their portfolios I get really, really sad. Like I don't think you have to read classics or anything and be an elite snob but if you limit yourself to just Colleen Hoover and maybe Sarah J Maas and a few other popular booktok authors, you're missing out on so so much. Even if you just want to find good new releases, keeping up with the book of the month club will give you plenty of options (even if you can't subscribe to them and have to get them from the library). Diversify your portfolio. Read older mass market paperback romances or literally anything else.

#shay speaks #anti colleen hoover #anti coho #do i put this in the coho tags too............ #do i want more drama from that anon who clearly doesnt have any reading comprehension #anyway for any of u coho stannies stalking the anti coho tags. #i'm not saying this to be elitist #literally one of my favorite books from last year is a mass market paperback romance novel from 2008 #the classics are like any other genre of books. you'll love some and hate others #and maybe actually try reading pride and prejudice without swapping out the names for your blorbos #and sitting with the themes of it. maybe you wont like it! maybe you will! only way to find out is to actually read it #even reading books you end up not liking can help you figure out your taste better #and you can think about what works for you and what doesnt from them #but please branch out. #anyway i'm done. i'm having another moment i just feel really bad for people who never bother to try things that #werent released in the last 5 years. go find some stuff on thrift books for cheap #probably my favorite way to find books

me: yeah im not leaving tumblr unless something drastic happens im stuck here lol

tumblr literally two days later: what if we start ruthlessly harassing trans women. and also sell your data to ai. lol

#i understand the harassment is not a new thing #but this latest kerfuffle is definitely leaving a bad taste in my mouth #i do not want to try using some new site with zero history #like the fun of social media/the internet is that it connects to so many people #you see so much different stuff and so many different people can interact with Your stuff #a small up and coming site is not going to have that universality #i dont care to post stuff so much as i enjoy engaging with groups of people #i dont wanna lose that aspect #i am not going to twitter tho ill start posting on neopets before i go to the fucking bird #head in my hands i just wanna be silly online

[whitmore]

classism is never the move, it’s inevitably going to be received in bad taste, as it should be, you cannot openly hate poor people and think everybody should be cool with that, you can’t enable that kind of behaviour and think everybody should be cool with that

#tubbo crit #qsmp #main tag fuck it some of y’all need to hear it #like you have to understand this is a bigger issue #sunny’s whole ‘ew poor people’ thing is in really bad taste #substitute poor for any other marginalized group and see how it sounds #yeah maybe it’ll be curbed in the future but actual real life poor people are allowed to be frustrated at the whole arc rn #plus i’m making this post in the present day not three months from now #i don’t think she’s a bad egg. i do think there needs to be more correction than there is right now #it’s not a cute bit #edit: everybody refers to the community & fandom not the characters in universe #i’ve never been an in-universe analyst ngl it doesn’t sit right w me to remove certain context #i think the tags imply that more but. if u just read the post it could be taken as in universe and that’s not what i’m going for here

[earthly-apples]

I have my own tastes and a ton of opinions, I’m a horrible purist but do whatever you like in fiction

#the need to correct somebody is weird. #complain they have bad tastes. wash your eyes with soap. whatever #don’t tell people not to do something because you don’t think it’s canon #bourboulon musketeers exists so why can’t a guy have bad fantasies #on the other hand I’m the worst purist ever I just don’t talk about every thing that bugs me
