#i'm just. so tired.

[indrids]

saw someone critique travis' gming by saying he can't create and manage a distinct cast of characters and I just. what?

everyone is entitled to their opinion!! BUT. Dust has quite literally been one of my all time favorite campaigns, and that rhetoric just doesn't apply to it? Dust 1 was an absolutely fantastic story and the idea that "he can't bring his characters to life like griffin" is frankly absurd to me.

I understand if you didn't like graduation, it definitely felt a lot... lighter? to me if that makes sense, because griffin's dming often maintains a sort of heavy tone. but, travis is a sunny personality and that shines through in his characters!! even from a standpoint of the pcs he's played, it doesn't all "just feel like travis". of the three brothers, yes, you can pick out which characters travis plays, but can you look me in the eye and say devo is just travis? what about aubrey?

look, I understand if you want to critique travis' radio specifically, because his voices aren't often incredibly different, but his character creation is so impressive. (not going to get into it but justin is the only one without the problem of similar voices most of the time, at least in my opinion.)

maybe I'm just newer to engaging with the general fandom, idk, but there's this obsession with balance I've ended up seeing quite a few times. it's not coming back, and not everyone has to like it. balance is my second favorite season and I love it a lot, but I'm beginning to think too many people put it on a pedestal, when it wasn't perfect in the slightest. I personally do not want to listen to yall throw a fit over not enjoying travis' gming. the least you can do is be polite and respectful with your criticism.

#taz fans stop treating the mcelroys like they went into taz trying to be actors challenge #it's a comedy podcast first and foremost they are comedians #i'm just. so tired. #of yall being dicks to travis bc of your lofty ass expectations #the adventure zone #taz #taz balance #taz: balance #taz dust #taz: dust #mcelboys

I'm in this really weird phase where I'm so picky about clothes that I've started hating pretty much all clothes in mainstream stores and especially how badly they fit me, but I also don't know what I want to make for myself and don't trust my own skills in clothes making so instead I just. don't get OR make anything new whatsoever and just kind of mope around at home doing nothing about this weird situation.

#I may or may not also be very burnt out and/or depressed #I'm just. so tired. #I hate all clothes and everything and especially how they look on me #why must I have a body that needs clothing #why can't I just. not corporeally exist

I really can't seem to hold it together for more than a couple days at a time, huh

#I get two - maybe three if I'm lucky - days where I finally start to feel like a person again #then depression bonks me on the head & knocks me back down adjgksg #I'm so tired of not being able to function. I'm so tired of not being able to do the things I want to let alone the things I NEED to #I'm just. so tired. #I have an appointment with a psychiatrist toward the end of june... which is way faster than I expected to get one so. lucky. #so hopefully that'll help dig me out of this hole ajfkgsg #but yeah. hi. I've been lurking. thinking bout my creechur a lot but not really having coherent enough thoughts to share or actually write #hopefully I get another upswing here soon but who fucking knows lmao #love u guys. hope everyone's doing well 💜 #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ ooc ⋮ don’t @ me. #personal cw

I'm gonna sound like a fucking conspiracy theorist but I think it's very weird that the narrative around eating healthier on English speaking Western online spaces somehow always ends up as "it's just not for common people".

Like on one hand, all the diet culture and "clean eating" bullshit online tends to promote a lifestyle that is unattainable or unsustainable for someone without prior education - like it's always pushing for trendy expensive fresh food every day. I can't have tuna and pasta, the staple food or broken italian students everywhere, I have to have an avocado tuna sandwich. I can't have a bag of frozen spinach, I need baby spinach. Protein smoothies only need powder and a liquid but if you look up online they need twenty ingredients of random assorted bullshit. Add more fruit in your diet BY HAVING FRESH BERRIES EVERY DAY.

On the other hand, most criticism of diet culture and "clean eating" seems to boil down to "see this is bland and boring, don't worry your pretty little head around it and keep eating junk food. No don't learn how to cook, that's just too hard. Just give up entirely". They even had that whole scandal of companies paying influencers under the table and so many headlines screaming "DIETS DON'T WORK" knowing full well no one is gonna click on the article to read the "fad diets don't work and diets don't work because it's supposed to be a lifestyle change not something you do for six months and then give up forever" thing written at the end of it.

Like eating well plays a very important role in everything in your life and you basically have to fight so much advertisement and bullshit trying to convince you that you can't and you shouldn't and btw now we are also turning cooking into a trend, so instead of teaching people to make tuna pasta we need you to believe that it's not cooking unless it can go on instagram.

Nevermind the fact that food tends to be homogenoised and we tend to lose all particularities of local cuisines.

#tw: diet culture #tw: weight loss mention #antiqua personal #i'm just. so tired. #i don't have that many priviliges in life and lately I feel like I am priviliged just because I know how to cook and it makes me mad like #it shouldn't be a privilege #it should be normal #also i know way too many people who aren't even thirty having all sort of nutritional issues #and girl if you are already pre diabetic at twenty six because you eat like shit what do you expect your life to be at forty #sometimes I want to make a tiktok channel that it's just me showing the easiest cheapest aldi recipes #also it's being very weird to read people being like weight loss is simply unaffordable not everyone is rich like you #i'm a broke working class student #is my fancy can of beans with a poach egg and a slice of bread that is giving me away #is it the chicken hearts i gotta eat this week because i couldn't afford other meats #is my fancyass CABBAGE SOUP

I had one of the worst days in recent memory, cried so much all day I gave myself a migraine, it’s dark outside and all I want is to go to bed but it’s not even 6 pm so I can’t

I need a hug and $200 and someone to tell me things are going to get better

#I got a new manager and all we've done is butt heads #my account is overdrawn and my middle son is the most exhausting creature alive #I've been crying all day but I can't stop #I'm just. So tired.

tumblr witches: the only bad superstition is evangelical christianity, and anyone who even implies otherwise is an asshole.

also tumblr witches: my friend refuses to get her house checked for gas leaks because she's convinced her headaches and hallucinations are caused by ghosts. 😔

#i'm just. so tired. #of the 'believing in fake shit isn't harmful unless it's specifically evangelical christianity' argument #this is the only social media site that isn't actively hostile to human life #and it would be nice if it was possible to use it without seeing quite so much of that shit

coming home from work absolutely exhausted only to learn I have to leave the flat again in 30 minutes for a meal. girl I am so tired

#every single day this week I've come back from work and legit passed out from exhaustion accidentally each evening #I've apologised to my boyfriend every day this week for falling asleep unexpectedly on him #I'm just. so tired. #me #ramblings

All I want to do is upload little gaming gifs, that's all :'(

The world exists in such a baffling state of simultaneous sex-aversion and sex-hegemony. Every social platform on the internet is trying to banish sex workers to the shadow realm but I can't post a tweet without at least two bots replying P U S S Y I N B I O. People are self-censoring sex to seggs and $3× but every other ad you see is still filled with half-naked women. Rightwingers want queer people arrested for so much as existing in the same postal code as a child and are also drumming up a moral panic about how teenage boys aren't getting laid enough. I feel like I'm losing my mind.

#it's bad if you want i have sex it's also bad if you DON'T want to have sex #god forbid if you're a woman in a heterosexual marriage and aren't in the mood #that's 'withholding sex' and you're clearly abusive scum who should be divorced and left without any of your shared assets. #but if you DO have sex now you're a degenerate freak plotting for the downfall of western society #i don't know what to say i'm just so tired #politics #culture #queerphobia #lgbtqia #misogyny #<it's not the exclusive source but let's be honest sooo much of this is integral to the patriarchy #patriarchy needs access to an underclass they can treat like sex objects but they also don't want them to have any human rights #so sexuality is both obligatory and stigmatized #purity culture #i'm really struggling with tagging this because most of the appropiate tags would- in a beautiful twist of irony- get me booted off tumblr

Kinda feel like there's some untapped meme/reaction image potential from old horror movie trailers...

#just saying #b movie #horror movies #50s horror #memes #reaction image #old horror movies #this is stupid #meme template #movie trailers #horror #schlock #exclamation points #i was bored #50s movies #why? #reaction meme #this is dumb #i'm so tired #why not

make a cohost account, make a blue skies account, make a pillow fort account, make a artfol account, share your discord, make a back-up account, make another account, make another account, make another account-

#shitpost #pot dog #pot dot #doodles #sites just remain normal challenge impossible #i can barely manage having a tumblr and a twitter account to both post to #the prospect of making more accounts more places just because shit may go down in flames or threaten to do so is exhausting #i will remain here until the ship is at the very bottom of the ocean cause i'm so tired of extending myself for social media efficiency

[images ID: three images of a comic titled "one must imagine sisyphus happy" by druid-for-hire. it is a visual narrative beginning with someone with wrist pain (depicted by bright orange nerves) working at a drafting table. the reader is shown the same wrist as the person uses it for many everyday tasks such as carrying a grocery basket, pushing elevator buttons, typing, and doing dishes, until the pain dissolves all the panels into chaos. the person then performs several physical therapy exercises until the pain subsides. they sit back down at a desk with their laptop, sigh, and begin typing. a small spark of pain reappears. end id]

a fun little piece i made during the semester and submitted into our school comic anthology! (which you can buy at the Static Fish table at MoCCAFest in NYC ;] ). it's about artists and injury

#comic art #comics #original comic #chronic pain #carpal tunnel #tendonitis #my art #original #edit: what a delightful surprise to see this take off #this was made for class on very low fuel and very few thoughts and late at night and exhausted #the prompt was just a wordless narrative essay. three pages. and i had nothing and no ideas #and my head hurt and i was too tired to think about doing any of the like. research and mind mapping and ideating i'd do otherwise #but my arm hurt #so i decided to do a thing about arm hurty #i'm surprised to see so many people finding it resonating with them #but then again i shouldn't be. the universal lies in the specific #i should make more things about smaller stuff

Gentle reminder that very little fandom labor is automated, because I think people forget that a lot.

That blog with a tagging system you love? A person curates those tags by hand.

That rec blog with a great organization scheme and pretty graphics? Someone designed and implemented that organization scheme and made those graphics.

That network that posts a cool variety of stuff? People track down all that variety and queue it by hand, and other people made all the individual pieces.

That post with umpteen links to helpful resources, and information about them? Someone gathered those links, researched the sources, wrote up the information about them.

That graphic about fandom statistics? Someone compiled those statistics, analyzed them, organized them, figured out a useful way to convey the information to others, and made the post.

That event that you think looks neat? Someone wrote the rules, created the blogs and Discords, designed the graphics, did their best to promo the event so it'd succeed.

None of this was done automatically. None of it just appears whole out of the internet ether.

I think everyone realizes that fic writing and fanart creation are work, and at least some folks have got it through their heads that gif creation and graphics and moodboards take effort, and meta is usually respected for the effort that goes into it, at least as far as I've seen, but I feel like a lot of people don't really get how much labor goes into curation, too.

If people are creating resources, curating content, organizing the creations of others, gathering information, and doing other fandom activities that aren't necessarily the direct action of creation, they're doing a lot of fandom labor, and it's often largely unrecognized.

Celebrate fan work!

To folks doing this kind of labor: I see you, and I thank you. You are the backbones of our fandoms and I love you.

#unforth rambles #this wasn't really prompted by anything #I'm just sick and tired and distractable #or i should say it wasn't prompted by anything recent or that happened now #like no one has disrespected me #but as i hit the point that it's regularly taking me an hour plus every single day to queue things for the danmei art blogs #i just think of all the times people go WAIT YOU RUN ALL OF THOSE??? BY YOURSELF??? #like i just don't think a lot of people realize how much work it is to really do background fandom labor long term #and i appreciate places like rec blogs and networks and events and just everyone #y'all are awesome #thank you so much
