Best thing about being a Scooby Doo fan: you can meet some of the nicest people with some really cool ideas and hcs, there's such an abiding love for the franchise, which on its own is just AMAZING, such a wealth of content to dive into, and I haven't even gotten into the fan REDESIGNS and aus and-

Worst thing about being a Scooby Doo fan: people irl in public will come up to you with some of the worst Scooby takes ever (Scrappy found dead in Miami, SDMI revolutionized animation, etc.) and you have to restrain yourself from getting into a fistfight with some rando acquaintance/friend-of-a-friend in public ALL THE TIME 💀

#THERES NO WAY THIS ONLY HAPPENS TO ME RIGHT #its constanttttt ughhhh #james gunn i fucking hate you this is all your fault 🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡🗡 #not the sdmi stuff but the REST #there should be a jail sentence for scooby crimes i SWEAR #also this one dude today UGHHHHHHHU #ive never even seen him before (apparently hes been in my math class this year?) but with all the seniors gone (save me bc i love a party) #there was like 5 ppl in math today (4 of them good friends of mine) and this dude would NOT let up with the scrappy sucks sdmi is awesome bs #like i was just like no i disagree with you every time he brought it up but like UGH. #i think scrappy got a bad lot and deserves a chance to be the best he can be and sdmi is personally unwatchable to me because of how mean #they are to each other/the relationship drama plots. whats not to get we dont need to keep hashing this #i didn't make it a big thing though bc i didn’t want to start stuff but ugh #the only ppl allowed to make fun of scrappy around me are my besties and even theyre on thin ice so like watch it bub #blah #scooby doo

i wish i could articulate the experience of seeing a band you're into live like actually seeing them in person because its so strange yet fascinating

#every time i hear take me for a ride by sparks it makes me think of the nyc show - the first show of theirs i saw #bc that was their walk on music. and i was front row for that show #and like. it was so surreal. so strange. obviously in a good way but its just something id never experienced before #and i noticed this especially with russell in that i had a weird thought that went 'oh wow thats him. he realls looks like himself' #and like of course he looks like himself but what i meant by that was he looks like that guy who ive seen 5 billion images of. hes that guy #like not only does he look like the him in more recent pictures but seeing him in person like 10 feet away #its like i could recognize every era of him. i could see like 70s russell in his face. bc of course thats his face! but still #is this making any sense. #like i feel like if you met 70s russell once and never saw him again until now youd immediately recognize him #and sure thats because of two other things - one that he has distinct facial features kinda and also that hes aged so well #but it was again so surreal to be like. in the same space. right in front of. fairly close to. that guy whos been in my phone. you know? #this was true for ron and the other guys in the band too of course its that feeling of wow its them! those people ive only seen pictures of! #and again being front row for that was bonkers insane. its like what do you mean these people are real #but the thing w russell i just especially noticed almost immediately when they came out onstage like hes that guy. for real #is this making any sense . anyway i just had to finally get this one out #the only downside of this experience was that yes these people are real and yes they can see me. a little anxiety inducing #its like nooooo dont look at meeeee im such a weirdo i bought a ticket to see you like everyone else here #anyway. concert thoughts

you can't reclaim a word that's never been used against you

#if you've never been called fat before please dont use that word #as someone who has been called fat a lot in my life in very painful ways... y'all dont get it #and i dont want people within a hundred feet of a word they dont understand the connotation/power of #im really just sad and tired of seeing non-fat people call ashton fat. because it just Keeps happening a *lot* and i just like #cannot stomach it at this point. i mean i literally see it FREQUENTLY and now ive just seen some stuff about it on my dash tonight and like #it brings me to tears literally every single time i see it. and i *never* see fat people call ashton fat ever. it is *only* non-fat people #and it's because they just simply do not understand how that word feels. and i shouldn't necessarily fault people for it BC they dont get i #but people writing feeder fics about him?? and going out of their way to describe his body in a way they never would a thin person's... #and more than that. like. he's not *fat*???? that's just not the right word. sure he HAS fat. everyone does #but calling him fat pointblank is just like... i do not see the benefit in it. he's Big. he's Muscular. but he's not *fat* #and it makes me think that you dont know any fat people. when that word has only ever been used in a derogatory manner by the majority #i mean that is NOT a neutral word. at this point in history. and if you have never experienced the harm that it can bring i just #i mean i dont know why you *want* to be using it #so yeah uh saying my bit on that bc y'all know me #im a little blabber box chatter mouth #and it's just something that i see a lot of especially on ao3 and one of the primary reasons actually that #i dont really read new fics by authors i dont know #because the way people treat ashton's body is very different than how they treat others' #and it's usually not fat people creating that content SO! #please uh consider maybe the words you're using... and how they could affect others! #ok i have a lot of homework to do tonight so im gonna. hunker down and do that #and feel Not Good about my body because if you think *ashton irwin* is *fat* then #i dont really want to know what you think about an actual fat person

my take, after having attended the big rothko retrospective in paris this week, is that a lot of rothko's blue paintings were kind of weak

#they don't capture the light idk! esp not some of the blue+greens. idk what it is #i've never been like. a person with super strong reflexive rothko responses but the full exhibit was a really intense great experience #some really good black/grays and black/reds #got all emotional about early 60s white and red #honestly i kind of fucking love his early period stuff-- esp after he stopped trying to do human figure surrealism but b4 color fields #the middle bit. hierarchical birds and so on #seagrams are pretty great ive seen them at the tate before still works #box opener #sadly none of the gray on gray untitleds were present so i was unable to conduct any firsthand scholarship #on the ongoing question of exactly which rothko has been photoshopped into that fake-ass 'pink on pink' one that circulates #every few years or so

article in the news saying our local ttrpg cafe is probably going to close because the construction out front is driving away customers. mmm. no. theres another reason. a very poorly kept secret if you will.

#its that #unfortunately one of the employees there is a total and absolute creep #everyone else is fine. esp this one rly nice fellow trans person who is so damn helpful and polite #but that guy. christ #never wears a mask properly and blatantly ogles younger women and girls coming in #friend of mine went in with a shirt that was a little lower hanging than usual and he spent the entire time talking to her tits. #its so bad that OTHER games and ttrpg stores actively advise you to NOT GO THERE and give a list of other places #because its not worth it to have a dude in his 40s make the experience so fucking uncomfortable #its even worse when teenage girls go in ive seen people make complaints before but apparently they go. nowhere

Being nonbinary and dressing feminine sometimes despite very much not being a woman is. Its like hello strangers hello new friends im making please dont immediately steamroll

#contemplating a lot #rant #feel free to ignore #i just. so like. im very nonbinary #which i suppose many nonbinary people are #to the point im like. well i cant go to a transmasc support group or a transfem support group cause i doubt either would #see me as someonr who fits (wish my city had a general trans meetup but we arent big enough i guess) #i know I KNOW theres a bunch of cisgender fucks who think nonbinary = woman and it drives me up a Fucking wall #i know theres (even more ouch) a portion of lesbians and queer ppl who see nonbinary as woman-lite or feminine man #and just dont fucking put in the effort to grasp what being outside man or woman (or overlapping) could be #(probably ovdrlaps w ppl who refuse to grasp pansexuality or bisexuality) #and like. when i was young? maybe i wouldve seen myself as a trans man #but when that didnt totally fit i felt well. maybe bigender then. nonbinary. yeah that fits i suppose #or maybe i am a trans man who just doesnt want to change myself for societal pressure #but i do relate to being a woman too? so nonbinary feels best. but i certainly dont feel like a woman #im okay with she he they. but if i tell strangers theyll usually default to ONE so i just say #THEY so strangers dont immediately try to basically pretend im not nonbinary by sticking to another pronoun they feel is easier to them #and if i say They the fact remains: are these new strangers or friends dicks who dont respect my gender even tho they #accomodated to sayibg they? do they say she in private to friends. do they refer to me as a gender im not when im not present #idk i have been... interacting with a lot of straight dudes lately. and im like? im bi and nonbinary so im like. well if ur straight dude im #not sure u would even Wanna date me? u are aware im a dude too? are u okay with that? can u respect that??? #which has NEVER happened to me before. cause i only dated bi guys nonbinary peeps like me or nonbinary lesbians #ive never dated a person i feared may actually not see me as I Actually Am and have accepted iy

the problem with turning up to uni all colourful in overalls and pigtails is that everyone thinks im 18

im 27, i just have the fashion sense of a clown and my neck is sweaty

#ed mumbles #people r like what high school did u go to :) #and then when i mention the other degrees ive studied theyre like ? #also being older is crazy #why am i one of the Vocal Ones in class this is so weird #ive always been the dead quiet hiding one #now im speaking up so much it's wild #also my uni is so queer hahahh #multiple nb lecturers/tutors and everyone has pronouns under their name #it's nice.. i've never seen that before! #i'm just really trying to settle into this new person i've apparently become when i wasn't looking #this person who speaks up in class discussions and answers questions and finishes assessments early without even panicking about them #my first assessment due can be in any medium so i wrote a comic abt tertiary study when you have adhd #i'm proud of it ngl! #just have to finish inking it

me: blood sugar fluctuating unpredictably, feeling a little vague and untethered as a result. ALSO SO SLEEPY

every system i need to monitor for the next eight hours: (:

#there was also just a person ive never seen before looking for the bathroom? #WHERE DID U COME FROM????????? #im the only person in the BUILDING at this time of night how did u get in here #two iterations of the radio are on for monitoring purposes on top of the television #i have to manually call one site every hour because it's not connecting #WHAT is my blood sugar doing and why is it doing it NOW #it's two thirty and ive already had to call lockheed martin this night is too much #nothing has happened all week btw. not a single goddamn thing.

Been coming up with more and more ideas for my bill fic that involve convoluted timeline bullshit (not timetravel, but a different stupider and weirder thing) and I have now realized I accidentally hometuckified the themes of the story. Nature of humanity to accidentally recreate etc

#godsrambles #mylongficidea #if i include it. itll be the stuff about narrative relevance vs importance of each individual on a personal level #the other accidentally-homestuck idea is 'what if I presented the story in a visual format ive never seen done before' #but thatll probably not happen. i would need to learn code or something #might be themes that get in the way of the core ones about bill and character growth #but i think it would be a cool way of visually presenting a simplified version of how the axolotl might percieve reality #it would also allow me to not choose between different ideas for beginnings that i have. which would be bad bc id have to write way more

[brokenhardies]

tbh as a six fan i feel so bad for thirteen fans

bc there are a lot of thirteen fans who are willing to defend shitty writing and poor decisions bc thirteen's their favourite doctor and there's no other way to say she's their favourite bc thirteen has only been off the air for 2 years at this point. thirteen also has the bonus problem of being the first female doctor which means a lot of her criticism is clouded by misogyny and other icky incel alt right shit

meanwhile with six, a lot of his problems had the benefit of the wilderness years, big finish, the expanded universe, and even people looking back at his doctor and realising that there was some good in his episodes. a lot of his fans didnt become his fans until recently and even most of his haters are quite clear that they hate the writing decisions and not the actor himself

like until jodie gets some good material - maybe big finish? theyre doing fugitive doctor and dhawan master stuff that might improve the problems with those - a lot of thirteen fans are going to be clutching at straws and trying to figure out why they like her and how to say so in a way that won't upset the predominantly male fandom, as well as won't disagree with common and very bloody obvious criticisms of chibnalls era

#dnr #dni #this might show up in the tags anyway oops :( #my main issues with the chibnall era comes in the form of the writing #like there are some aspects of the story that makes me tear my hair out #why do we have three companions - two of whom are poc - when we're just gonna focus on the white man #better still why does the female doctor have three companions #better still why does only graham get characterisation #the entirity of kerblam is just one long hate crime imho #rosa is... fine:tm: but the line where yaz defends the police to ryan when hes understandibly #talking about his issues shouldve been cut out #tbh chibnalls idea of politics was basically 'lets present it all on screen front and centre and then never touch on it again' #good work gang hit the showers #now im not saying that you cant like chibnalls era #i personally dont like it and i feel like the bad writing has clouded my interpretation of thirteen as a whole #which sucks #especially as a six fan bc ive been in this boat before where ive seen people disregard him bc #'he strangled his companion!' in one episode #so its more of a i feel sorry for thirteen fans #and tha5min fans like you guys got hella queerbaited

save me fictional characters save me

#at least fictional men cant dissapoint me like real ones #you good? no #having someone you admire and look up too for years turn out to maybe be a horrible person is… #nothings been confirmed but even my biased ass can see the coincidences #especially when you related to his music? the music about his life and what he’s experienced and done #and realizing that maybe he didnt learn #i need someone to confirm SOMETHING #i havent cried yet (somehow) but im just waiting #ive never wanted the internet to be wrong so badly before #but i watched the entire stream and ive seen the tweets and god #my heart fucking hurts i feel sick
