#im not saying this because other people are idiots

If you're trying to figure out what tone sun-kissed is (because its a skin state rather), look. at. olive. skin. tones.

It might be exactly what you're looking for. I know it sounds like a very common thing, but:

'Tan' is a skin state. 'Sun-kissed' is a skin state. 'Olive' is a skin tone.

This is not meant as passive aggressive. I'm angry at myself for how much research I had to do to figure out this is what I've been looking for. Nothing else has been able to point out that skin states can/will be confused with skin tones.

#im not saying this because other people are idiots #im saying this because IM an idiot #AND SEARCHING FOR IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU GOOD ANSWERS #trying to find a common ground between 'describe white skin' and 'describe brown skin' has been a fucking pain #im trying so fucking badly to find the MIDDLE GROUND the MIDDLE TONES #anyways. im trying not to lose my mind over here trying to describe skin tones. #fucking christ. #IF ANYONE HAS A GOOD LIST OF SKIN TONES I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD PROVIDE A LINK

Peak character description: narrator gushing about how pretty the person literally trying to kill them is

No joke:

#shitpost #this is what people want when they say they want enemies to lovers #if your ship hasnt tried to kill each other at least once do they even love each other #im not joking she literally just stomped on the mcs head and is absolutely prepared to blow the mcs head off #“i love it when women steal from iron man and use his tech to try to melt me” - this idiot probably #“i love it when women glare at me like they hate me (because they do)” - this idiot probably #“i love it when women want me [SIX FEET UNDER IN THE COLD COLD GROUND]” - this idiot probably #“i love it when women relentlessly pursue me (so they can cut off my head and display it like a hunting trophy)” - this idiot probabl #just realised i made the “i love a woman who will actually just kill me” meme into a person #well not really but like the intention was there sort of #the character is not the meme but the memey version of the character is if you catch my drift

hm hm hm i feel like this will be really interesting to read with the knowledge of korra and how that effected her instead.... because korra (from my limited knowledge so i could be talking out my ass here) knew she was the avatar at an early age and DID get that community. she had katara and her parents, she had her mentors, she was isolated from the real world during so and perfected the elements other than air (which i kinda recall her struggling with and how its the opposite element of earth so im excited to see if those kinda play out :3) and she was more eager to be the avatar and the excitement and significance it brought (which was a bit clouded by her being sheltered but also would have been expected more before the war impacted things)

i also remember matty saying kyoshi struggled with earth bending (which im super excited to get to and see/see her journey and how it will differ) but!!! i just think its really fun how theyre kinda off the bat setting up this expectation and new grounding for readers who have a past grasp of the avatar universe. even as someone who isnt super familiar with the lore, i know enough to recognize that oh! thats something new!! so just kudos to the writer(s?) for just setting this up to be something very different and in a natural way :3

#again. talking out my ass here. if im an idiot no one say anything okay? okay <3 #but i think its fun to already see some parallels or ways kyoshi and korra are different or similar #and how korra got the set-up stage that was considered ideal (i think?) for these two characters #like !!! the avatar is supposed to know theyre the avatar at a young age! #and aang learning when he was 12 instead?? i think? #or being told hey man you gotta fucking get ready/do your teen duties instead of preeteen ones cause theres a war.... #but no sorry my head is scattered i cant keep a line of thought but the point was i know a lot of people bash korra because shes too #‘abrasive’ or comfortable with being the avatar when?? for previous experiences that eagerness was something more expected (i think) #like its so difficult to make a solid grounding argument when im not lore caught up but korras excitement to be the avatar and that she #knows its significant and important is something that would been encouraged before the war because of that hope and belief #that the avatar will keep that balance or save the world when others cant. aang disappearing and the genocide and war #obviously effected how people will see the avatar in universe and how her teachers are more hesitant and restrictive #none of this makes sense im just thinkin to myself while half distracted lol but ! go cringegirl bosses go !!!! #RoK (ransom style)

Some of you need to develop a more robust distrust in the media

#mumblings #it should be first instinct to say “is that right i should check it out using my own search terms and check the sources on my own #not aaaaaa im a public idiot!!! #i think it's people being way less scared to be a public idiot than they used to be #just because other people aren't scared to be a public idiot doesn't mean you should embrace it too

[killapunk]

what if we all logged off forever

#censored the url bc the other person was RIGHT!!!! #and they dont need flak #im glad this little idiot got torn to shreds in the replies #n then was like stop @ing me idc idc uwu #yeah you do care lol #they had one good point #which was if you glorify sensitive topics dont be surprised people dont wanna hang around you #because YEAH thats exactly how i feel too #but to just say you cant write shit ever is braindead #like the rest of their argument was beyond foolish

girls will literally be happy until their brain randomly convinces them that all their friends hate them because someone's text was a little TOO serious sounding which means they find you ugly and stupid and hate you with a burning passion

#how i love being a person who thinks all the time and has nothing to think except for thoughts #also there is literal crack in gracie abrams's voice wtf #i know you're a fault line. but i'll break too. #I SEE YOU EVERY NIGHT IN MY SLEEP ANTICIPATING EVERY BAD DREAM LIKE FALLING WITH A KNIFE YOU CUT DEEP YOU CUT DEEEEP #anyway i literally hate myself a lot right now and i think im so ugly and stupid and nobody really likes me #and my problems are generally smaller than other peoples' #like idk #its invalidating when you're complaining about something and someone's like 'well at least you dont...' or if im complaining about school #and someone's like at least you dont have ____ subject #like. ok. remind me never to say anything to you ever #its also so invalidating when you're trying to explain to someone how you are and they're like 'but you're literally happy' #i just end up feeling so stupid and idiotic #maybe because i am but. you know. like how do you even reply to someone saying that to you

i do not want to discourse here or anywhere anymore but it does kind of affect me as a transmasc bi person when i see shit that indirectly misgenders me and implies that bisexuality is an icky no good word and identity and you have to be bi and gay and bi and lesbian and bi and straight at the same time or support them or you're an evil stinky stinky terf like... hello where am, i

#it makes me feel othered by an otherwise inclusive community bc how dare i think that men aren't involved in lesbianism #or how dare i think that bisexuality is a whole and valid sexuality #or how dare i think that any and all nonbinary genders are included in every single sexuality by default #or that trans women are women so no fuckin g duh theyre included in lesbianism and if your knee jerk reaction to seeing: #men cannot be lesbians is to think of trans women then you are the transphobe here #or how i dare think that trans man and transmasc aren't the exact same thing #that genderqueerdyke person is also a transadrophobia geek and theyre buddies with genderkoolaid #which like. do i HAVE to say it? #IF U IGNORE THE TRANSMISOGYNY (WHICH U SHOUDLNT) THEYRE ALSO A ZIONIST HELLOW?? WHATS NOT CLICKING WHATS NOT CLICKING #OK IM KINDA MAD ABT THAT LIKE... SORRY BUT HOW ABOUT WE DONT PLATFORM IDIOTS NO MATTER HOW GOOD THEIR RHETORIC MIGHT SOUND #BC U WANT TO BE TOTALLY INCLUSIVE AND NOT GATEKEEPY #ive BEEN around the fucking block ive BEEN on tumblr when the resident terfs here coined bi lesbian #if you scrolled back far enough in certain keywords you wouldve seen that shit in the early 2010s being discussed in their circles #to mean lesbians who are attracted to trans women #you cannot reclaim that or recoin it #yes ive done the research too #i looked at every single piece of evidence of that label existing in the past 50~ years #its just bisexual women back when lesbian spaces also included them #plus like may i also fucking ssay that bisexual also used to mean being of two sexes (transsexual/gender and/or intersex?) #this close to fully believing that the pushback against bisexual being it's own whole and valid sexuality is some kind of psy op #i sound schizophrenic well Maybe I Am #i feel like im going to end up deleting this post bc i dont want to argue with people who disagree with me because there is no getting #through to any of you #tbd.

the absolute vicious shit people think they have to say whenever the topic of 'picky eaters' comes up ESPECIALLY when it's about children is just sickening

#post : my child doesn't like carrots so I #rando : WELL I WOULD JUST *describes a thousand different ways to abuse a child* AND IM THE NORMAL ONE HERE #adult : i can't eat fish because #rando : LMAO GROW UP WHAT ARE YOU 5 FUCKING IDIOT LOL JUST STARVE FISH HAS GOOD VITAMINS JUST KYS #have y'all tried not being dicks about other people's diets ffs #especially when it's like. a video showing how a parent is successfully introducing new foods to their picky kid #like Oh they only like cheese crackers so i'm gradually nudging them towards grilled cheese sandwiches with these steps #and then hopefully use the grilled cheese as a base to introduce other types of sandwiches etc #and it's just. it works. it's respectful of the kid's boundaries. it's healthy. #and Still a thousand people just jump to say INSTEAD OF DOING THIS THING THAT WORKS TRY BEATING HIS ASS (WHICH WONT WORK) #so many people are fucking eager to tell you they Love violence against kids who have no way to defend themselves #that they're fucking sludgebrains who haven't come up with actual parenting techniques #so all they know is ''hit child'' or ''yell'' like a fucking level 1 pokémon #that they view the small young people they have agreed to take care of as dolls that must obey or get thrown against the wall in a tantrum #if your entire plans for parenting are ''i'm just gonna use violence until my human toything complies'' don't become a fucking parent #Anyway this was about picky eating and how people don't know how to mind their business about it #why are you so pressed about what someone else Doesn't put in their mouth. why are you so weird #humans come with a variety of tastes in anything from fashion to colors to home decor to favorite animal #and you can't fucking fathom that they'll also Not all want or like to eat the same things ? fucking cringe

I know it's wrong and bad to say this, but sometimes I really hate when my friends have other friends. (specifically when I can't also be friends with those friends) because every time I want someone to hang out with or talk to, the only couple friends I have are always busy with their other friends. when I want to plan something with them, they will always choose the other friends over me. they will cancel plans *with* me as soon as other friends ask, but won't cancel plans *for* me when i ask. they will use up their social spoons on other friends and leave none for me. always putting things with me off or simply not responding at all.

i'm always told by random people when I say I want mkre friends "it's better to have a couple great friends than many aquantances" or something like that. but honestly it sucks because you can't rely on 1-2 people to always be there for you every day or every week when you want or need someone. if you keep asking, you're seen as annoying and clingy and they will ignore you eventually (or worse)

it's annoying that they get to fill their social needs at all times, but I never get to. because i'm never the one that gets to go first in the social queue. and when it gets to my turn, it refreshes and i'm pushed to the back again.

the only solution I can ever think of is being friends with my friends' friends too....but for some reason!!!!!! that never works out!!!! (if my friends will even share their friends with me to begin with)

#and dont even get me started on when i share my friends with each other and they choose each other over me and kick me out lmao #WHY ARE FRIENDS SO HARD #why am i just a little creature that requires certain amounts/types of social interaction that never gets met #and no one wants to do anything about it. and im forced to sit here feeling bad about it because i cant fix it either fbbdbdfghhdhjrhfdj #this whole friend and human interaction and bonding and companionship bullshit is going to be lifelong issue and im not here for it #NO ADVICE IM GIVEN WORKS. IM TIRED OF ONE SIDED BULLSHIT WHERE ONLY I TRY. HUMANS ARE ANNOYING #im like a non human creature that wears human skin and everyone except me knows and they dont want me and i domt know why #i also dont have the energy to do the whole new friends song and dance where you small talk to get to know each other #and share your life stories. i rather just hang out and become friends through enjoyment of mutual enjoyed activity???? #or something like that idk #i tried so hard to be friendly to friends' friend last weekend when we all hung out so i can be adopted into their friend group but #they didnt even tell me it was nice meeting me and hanging out and didnt even say bye to me. only to my friends #and i was too sad about that to say it to them instead as they walked away. theyre way more social and good at words #and i was overwhelmed and struggling to speak so i was waiting for the queue to say those things or something #i expected it like an idiot loser becuase i thought i did a good job being a cute gremlin that fits into the group that seems to have #other goofy gremlins like me. i thought maybe they can be “my people” or something. but then they turned around and left #after telling my friends bye. and didnt acknowledge me. and i juat kept smiling and turned around and walked away too #PRETENDING IT WAS FINE. BUT IT FELT BAD. BECAUSE I FAILED TO MAKE A FRIEND WHEN I THOUGHT I DID GOOD WITH THEM FOR ONCE #so “being confident/believing in yourself” like im told to do DIDNT WORK AND IT FELT WORSE THAN DOUBTING MYSELF. YOU LIARS. ugh fhdhdhfhjssk #WHAT DO. WHY LEE BAD AT THIS. WHY IT FEEL BAD. WHY NOT JUST ACCEPT BEING ALONE 99% OF TIME AND GIVE UP. WOULD BE EASIER #lee rants #autism things #i know its rude to invite yourself into a friend group but what if i try anyway 🤪✌️

What's with the water filter on antisemitic screenshots? Does it have some special significance or history? I tried googling it (and maybe it's bc I'm bad at search terms) but I couldn't find any info.

Ah, that was something started by one of the jumblr people. It's to show that it's a screenshot as opposed to part of the post (since sometimes it's hard to tell when a screenshot ends and the actual post begins, depending on the color schemes used). It also has the added benefit of banishing Bad Comments to the Shame Lagoon.

#red qanda #so yeah no specific significance other than the ability to say GET DUNKED IDIOT! #personally im not a fan because it's hard to read sometimes #but frankly the Shame Lagoon is a very fun place to banish people to

i think my constant seething rage is honestly very reasonable. i literally live in florida.

#got in argument with a guy the other day abt idk. trans athletes #was basically him trying to explain what the issue is to me (i know. that's kinda step one to having an opinion on it.) #and then going yeah huh i guess you're actually right (i was) #and i was like okay great cool we're done here let me go to class and he starts talking about like #how he still loves trump for this and that reason kinda unprompted (sorry you lost an argument dude go introspect somewhere else im LATE) #and i was like yeah idk abt that. on account of all the corruption. and the foreign policy youre saying is like manly macho man strong is #mostly just wildly stupid posturing that's going to achieve nothing at best and world war at worst #and he goes no don't worry i think DESANTIS would be better for 2024 actually #and i.

currently experiencing The Horrors (thinking abt the fact that i have to start going into the office again from tomorrow)

this will either fix me entirely or cause me to descend so deeply into my burnout sinkhole that i will never be seen or heard from again

#regrettably i think maybe getting out of the house for a few hours might help. don't tell the ceo that #idk im having a really hard time keeping my head above water right now #i basically didn't have any time off last year just to do nothing. every holiday i took was to like. do an activity #like go to america or germany for cons or travel for a concert or some other event #whereas i usually use 75% of my time off to get some desperately needed rest #im really running on empty at this point but i really don't wanna use a bunch of my annual leave this early in the year #also i need to start learning how to say no to people #because last year i used probably 60% of my leave for other people #like. i used 2 weeks to go to washington with my brother as his 18th bday present. that was literally half my leave #and then i used another 3-4 days to visit relatives #and this year i was like 'im gonna be proper selfish with my a/l this year and use it ALL to do what i want to do' #then my mum rang me up and asked me to use a day of it to hang out with her and i said yes. like an idiot #like don't misunderstand me. i love my mum. but i already see her every weekend #and i also have to like. not tell her when i book leave for myself because she'll be like 'oh so we can do something!' #NO.

how the hell do people just talk to people? how do they just put their thoughts out there like anyone gives a shit what they have to say?

#genuine question #and then people do give a shit #meanwhile i - stupid mcdumbshit - put my dumbshit thoughts into the world #and they float by. unacknowledged. because my thoughts are dumb and also stupid #maybe if i had more to talk about than how much i suck. thats not exactly a riveting topic of conversation #but even then man. i talk about shit other than my self-esteem issues and still. nobody fucking caaaaaares #or if they do it doesnt matter. im too stupid to carry a conversation #how do you know how to respond to people? #what do i say to get a good grade in conversation? #how do i reaccess my ability to articulate my thoughts on things? #how do i say things without being certain theyre 100% right and without being certain i dont look like a complete idiot? #i used to know how to do it but like. barely #but i still could converse #now? nothing #nothing i say has ever mattered but i guess it took a while for me to fully internalize that #and now i just cant speak much on anything. other than how much i suck lol #nobody is an expert on me like i am after all #to the void with love

It's so impossible to interact with people online in a normal way and i don't understand why

#this girl made a video titled “when my family dont expect me to go nonverbal the rest of the day after telling me to shut up” #but she meant like #voluntarily choosing not to speak to them for the rest of the day #not actually going nonverbal #so i politely pointed out that hey that term has a very specific meaning #and that it can hurt those of us who struggle with going nonverbal when people portray it as just a choice bc we cant help it #the amount of times ive been yelled at for not replying when im nonverbal bc the person thinks im just choosing to be rude and not answer #and this random person who said they were also autistic came into my replies to tell me im an idiot #because non verbal just means “without speech” and non-verbal communication exists #so i tried to point out that i didnt say the word nonverbal itself is a problem in general #just that the phrase “going nonverbal” is specific to the experience of involuntarily losing your use of speech #so it is incorrect and a bit ablist to throw it around willy-nilly and dilute what it actually means #and then they had a go at me because “you people” are always changing definitions on a whim #and im getting dogpiled by the original video creator and a bunch of other people #like i wasnt even rude at first i just pointed out that thats not what the phrase means #so now im shaking bc im so mad at someone who claims to be autistic themselves going so far out of their way to defend the creator #but now my body is just filling up with the anger and i feel like my skin is covered in electricity #amd it has nowhere to go bc i blocked the creator to stop myself carrying on bc i could feel myself getting overinvested
