#like damn get over yourself.

[batcavescolony]

just saw someone say Rick Riordan making a TV show is just as bad as anything JKR has done. BFFR you're comparing Rick Riordan trying to make his world more inclusive, changing some parts because of money/time constraints, or just making changes cus he thinks they're needed, to JKR being a terrible person!

#and not to say Ricks work is perfect. ill be the firat to tell you his mistakes. his aspec rep is shit. his minorities rep has problems #he has general time line problems. im not says hes perfect but he tried from a good place #jkr named a character ChoChang. her Scottish character blow stuff up and tried to make alcohol. named a black character Shackelbolt #like damn get over yourself. #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #percy series #pjo series #pjo #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #pjo tv adaptation #if you wanna say shit about Rick ok. but be correct about it #how is he just as bad as jkr for not using the book he made in the early 2000s an exact script for the TV show being released in 2024? #and they yall had the audacity to be pissed when he didn't put a song about sex thats literally says `fuck her face° in the background of #LITERAL 12 YEAR OLDS in a place with memory altering properties..... thats whats you wanted. children getting high to a song about sex. #°oH bUt iN tHe mOvIe tHaT i WaTcHeD wHeN i waS tWeLvE' where the actors where like what 18? and weren't 12? that one? 🙄 #some of you are getting on my nerves. yes the show's pacing is eh really thats a reason to curisfy Rick Riordan? thats what you're deciding #this is the line? a tv show thats on its first season and is more accurate then the movies that came out? #good to know

i've developed some interesting methods of handling having a relationship with my mother who made my childhood/teen years misery and committed more than a little abuse.

as an adult, we have a very different dynamic, her daughters (sister and i) have confronted her with a lot of her bullshit and the things she both did and enabled. for some she has been sorrowful and even sometimes apologetic. she's a better mother to me now than she ever was when i most needed one. so i'll never actually trust her again, and she'll never be much deeper than surface level in my life, but we have something mostly good now, and on my terms.

however, she is very definitely one of those "i don't remember it that way" and "i did the best i could" mothers in a lot of areas, and has also always been the type to (probably unconsciously) emotionally manipulate the people she's hurt into catering to her hurt feelings about it instead.

over the years i've learned to get really comfortable with just not indulging it.

is she having a bad day, seems sad and upset? i'll give her a hug, try to make her laugh. if she throws broad hints it's a surge of hurt feelings about having driven one of her children to cut her off? well i'm just gonna stand there and not acknowledge or entertain it.

"well, apparently i was a bad mother" or shit like that? i'm just gonna look at her for a second, and i might either shrug or even nod, but i'm not saying a damn thing. i'm not awkwardly, uncomfortably, painfully contorting to her guilt trip nonsense. i'm not apologizing or trying to soothe her or reassure her or minimize it.

like, yeah. you really were. you know it, glad to hear it. we've definitely had that talk.

best kindness, most generosity i can offer her in times like that is not maintaining eye contact to bluntly tell her "yeah, you were." she can go ahead and feel bad about it.

it's not on me to make her feel less bad. she should feel bad. and i am definitely not someone she gets to seek comfort from about it.

hopefully someday she'll inch past just "poor me, i'm so sad and angsty about it" towards, like, examining the whys and acknowledging what she actually did wrong and work actively to be be better. in a few places, some of that has happened.

but that's her work. her job and responsibility. she can do that shit on her own time.

i say all this to offer a shoulder of solidarity to others like me. if you maintain a complicated relationship as an adult with the parent who hurt you and did you wrong as a child, that is okay. you get to choose how and if to thread that needle.

but you don't have to accommodate emotional manipulation and guilt trip garbage. stonewall it. walk away if you need to. don't apologize. don't try to make it better. that's not on you and it doesn't have to be. it's okay.

#to her perhaps dubious 'credit' #this has shown genuine results #she has over the years pulled a lot less of that shit #of laying emotional traps to try and make me comfort her about how horrible she was to us as a mom #because she doesn't get the desired result #it's not an easy thing to make a choice to continue having a relationship with a parent like this #who caused you serious harm and painful long-lasting damage #especially not always intentionally generally not maliciously #the abuse was the abuse and it doesn't matter why #how she conducts herself now is what determines if i give her any chance to be any kind of decent mom now #and it's SO HARD at first #because that's your mom you LOVE your mom even through all the shit #you're hardwired to love your mom and you hate to see your mom hurt #instinct is to Make It Better #but that's not always the correct response it can be downright detrimental #to yourself and to her own personal growth towards being someone better #so you teach yourself to just Let Her Be Upset #she should be upset and in a case like this it may in fact be good for her #and it's just not my damn job to make her feel better and i don't mind making that plain #you grow more comfortable with it over time #hold your ground and your stance gets stronger with each step-back not taken #abuse mention

I think someone should just throw all of the BG3 companions into Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Just take the post-canon generally considered "good" endings and throw em in there.

Why? Because it would be hilarious to me and also that's like the one official module that goes up to level 20.

I won't lie and say the only thing I can think of is the team trying to kill an angry mechanical purple worm while screeching at Gale because "what do you mean we're in Waterdeep and you know the bastard who owns this death trap?? I was perfectly alright in the damn Underdark thank you very much I did not sign up for this"

#my vampire companion has been dead for possibly over 200 years #and we would like to revive him please #sometimes i think of the fact that gale knows halaster blackcloak personally and cackle to myself #you know what's also a fun thing to think about #cleric capstone is basically you've got a deity speed-dial for your needs #to not mention true resurrection in GENERAL #or WISH #gale realizing that he's fairly close to the power level of a chosen of mystra now like :0 #karlach is probably like “HELL YEAH I CAN HIT MORE THINGS” while being extra stronk #i thought the idea of monster hunter ranger wyll or something along those lines was compelling so he gets to speed run his level ups #lae'zel angrily hacking away at enemies like “FUCKING DAMN IT I HAVE A REVOLUTION TO GET BACK TO GET OUT OF MY WAY” #tara mysteriously being utterly unhampered by the teleportation restrictions like “quite a kerfuffle you've found yourself in mr. dekarios” #halsin gets to live as a bear 24/7 with druid capstone #astarion would like to make sure his gaggle of vampire spawn don't kill anyone but also the promise of Stab and Feral are highly compelling #if minthara's here she's just vibing. blood guts and gore. her favorite. now stop wasting her time and let her kill you #someone should give lae'zel a gun even if so she can reenact that 200+ damage in one round event with percy de rolo #lae'zel deserves a gun #so does shadowheart and karlach #if i gave gale wyll and astarion a gun i think the recoil would kill them actually #str 8 gang lmfao #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 #baldur's gate three #bg3 spoilers #gale of waterdeep #bg3 gale #astarion #bg3 wyll #wyll ravengard #karlach bg3

#reylo #zutara #Make Love Not War #there are literally children starving to death or getting blown up in some war right now and ya'll are fighting over a fictional TV Show #if people put half as much energy into fighting for war torn countries as they do fictional shows the world would be a better place #instead they are making entire blogs dedicated to being an anti of the ship they hate like damn... how much do you hate yourself?

Raxy's obsession with you is appalling. Also Bernadetta is a noble under Rhea's system? That's not her system, again going back to the whole crests enable nobles fallacy. There were nobles before Rhea was the archbishop and before she defeated Nemesis. But what do I know. I'm a stinkin' misogynist mooner who supports the status quo cause apparently saying imperialism bad, revanchist nationalism bad, and genocide bad means you support the status quo or whatever tankie talking point they like to spew.

He unblocked me to start an argument when he could've kept me blocked. You know, to set an example for his friends who like to spam people's inbox.

But nope. He has paper-thin skin and admits that anything negative said about M'Ladle is a personal attack. Holyyy shit. This grown man in his thirties can't handle it when people don't like a character the way he wants them to.

Raxis, I am not responsible for hurting your goddamn feelings. You could've kept me blocked and not have to look at my messages, but I guess the sheer concept of someone hating Edelgard is just inconceivable for you.

#edelgard discourse #grey borb #raxytatortots #and he REALLY likes to call people sexist #like damn #get over yourself man its a fictional character and youre a grown man #but fuck it we are all filthy mooners #who must not moon any longer #we must be.. moonless

It's wild how you can change over the years.

Highschool me: One of the quiet and shy kids, always doodling something. "I'm not like the other girls" phase > all clothes black (and dear lord if you even SUGGESTED wearing skirts or color pink, nope, nah. Get that stuff away from me). Never thinking I would end up in any work roles which includes dealing a lot with people and/or being at cash register, even saying I would never be in those. Doing my best to avoid them.

.

Me nowadays, 28 years old: Oh I love pink, skirts? Hell yea I'll be rocking those during summer. Still some shyness but more social/open and straightforward. Watch this gal being quality checker & assistant supervisor, even working & selling stuff at marketplace at one point (and I liked it). Oh? Someone wants to interview me? Easy peasy, bring it on.

#it is just wild to think about how I've changed over the years #like I never thought I would be where I am now #maybe it's because I've grown more confidence in myself #well I still get nervous beforehand when I need make calls #like be it to health center or some other adult stuff #but I know I relax once I get to talk with the person on other end #and it's same with interviews #some nervousness until I get to do it #but yeah just... well god damn #change is wild sometimes when you stop and think about it #anyways enough rambling in the tags hahahh #be kind to yourself and treat yourself to something nice okay? #be it pastry or something else which you like and makes you happy #remember to take care of yourself c:>

Why is it called Tokyo After School SUMMONERS when the summoning components aren't even important to the main story until they're convenient??? Like, I love Housamo with all my heart but reworking the main story is WILD

Anyway, what's you're guys' biggest things you're curious about/wish they focused on more because I'm curious and I have a whole list lmao

#call on me whenever you need 😤😤 #housamo #tokyo afterschool summoners #not a reblog. #fel rambles #I'm already messing with the summoning part because it fucking bums me out that we don't really have any canonical summons #outside of the red oni at least AND I ADORE HIM BUT DEADASS ONLY POPS UP WHAT?? TWICE? IN THE ENTIRE STORY SO FAR #and I know it's because of *how* the game is set up and everything and it's left to the player's imagination for who you summoned #BUT AT LEAST ADD OPHION???

when people draw 90% of first law characters white moodboard

#‘but all the nations are based on europe!’ kill yourself #especially the northmen and when people whitewash ferro like HUHHHHH???? #styrians too. and all the folks in the west. and the far east. even in the damn union which canonically has a high immigrant population - #- FROM ALL OVER THE DAMN CIRCLE OF THE WORLD! #how are you reading first law if you’re not reading it as a story of class struggle during wartime and anticolonialism #‘but it’s fantasy!’ exactly! it’s fantasy with fucking in-text reasons for most of the characters not being white! get some fucking eyes! #• #every time i see activity from a blog who likes first law i lose it in both a good way and oftentimes also a 🤨 way

oh - when my nephew was here he also told me that my mother said medication doesn't have any effect on hunger.

hahaha that's so fucking funny, I'm gonna scream :)

(was just reminded of this because I feel like I'm starving. because of my new meds. when without them... I don't really feel hungry until many hours after I should have eaten.)

#literally how can you say something so fucking stupid when you have zero experience with it yourself #I mean that's just what she does. always and about everything. but this one is particularly infuriating #I bet it came up because they were talking about my weight. and it wouldn't have been nice :) so that's just. awesome to know. #anyway yeah I literally feel COMPLETELY different when I'm on certain antidepressants. they make me hungry ALL THE TIME. and not slightly #hungry like hm I could eat. nope. so hungry that it feels like I'm starving only a few hours after I've had a meal #but sure! you know better! totally! #and it's LITERALLY in the damn information leaflet as a common side effect. for like three different meds I'm on. but no it's just because #I'm stupid :) #(for context. my mother is the most openly and proudly fatphobic person ever. she will very loudly talk about a fat person's body when they #are only a couple meters away. she hates fat people. so. this isn't a neutral statement coming from her. it's filled with hate and disgust #and I'm fucking sick of this shit. literally I'd feel so much more comfortable in my body if she were dead. it's the biggest hurdle to #getting over my own internalised fatphobia. my first thought is usually something she would say. it fucking sucks.) #tw fatphobia

any time i feel like my life is slipping away from me I remember the “open eyes right at twenty-three” line from take my hand and realize that im not even 23 yet. i have time

I’m going to say this in the most loving and compassionate way I know how

💙 you need to shut the fuck up 💙

im teasing but seriously the internet has so warped some of y’all’s perception of what age is and it’s genuinely so disappointing. If you are under 25, your goddamn brain is not fully developed and you need to chill out with this “im on the edge of my deathbed the second I turn 20” bullshit, especially if you’re a woman because media is constantly trying to convince you that you’re worthless if you’re not skinny and fresh-faced. Trust me, you’re fine. Your life is not slipping away. You’re literally not even a quarter into it. If you wanna come back and have this conversation when you’re 60, by all means feel free. But until then imma need you to buck up buttercup.

#I can’t stand ageism sorry pal it’s my number one pet peeve #it turns me into a monster #like you quite actually have your entire life ahead of you #if you’re younever than 40 I never wanna hear SHIT about you wasting your life #ageism in fandom is so pronounced it’s truly so sad #why does the internet act like women over 23 aren’t allowed to live their lives anymore ?? #calling 30 yo men middle aged?? #I need everyone to get it together asap lol #like be so srs rn #pigeon #anon #sorry I know you want me to validate ur feelings and be like yeah same!! but #no #I’m 21 bro I’m fresh as a damn daisy #and I also. don’t hate women so ageism makes me angy #ok yeah ur life is fine #uh. politely 💙 pls get over yourself RN shawty I’m begging #you are a lily in spring #wow do you like that word I invented before 40 #I meant to say ‘younger’

[abigail]

said it once and I will say it a million times more until it sticks in y’all’s head - if you hate abby but love joel then I think you should go eat sand <3 peace and love

#they are literally the same.. get over yourself #oh but she ****** **** !!! ok and ??? #ur telling me if you weren’t her you wouldn’t had done the same thing ???? #kinda like how people argue in defence of joel doing what he did in part one …. #but no no with abby it’s not allowed #like.. y’all know me …… number one joel apologist I love him with my whole heart #and yeah I dislike what she did (dislike being a light word lol) #but damn. I get why she did it.. and then seeing her story during the game I’m just like.. oh she’s .. actually just like joel #and she’s a lot like Ellie too #joel apologist AND abby defender #get with it or go home !!! #a

[gayclubsoap]

every episode of single father makes me never want to watch it again and there are only four

#i watched the first one and was in such a state that i went like two months without looking at it #and i came back bc i was thinking to myself “you need to get over yourself and just finish the damn show” #so here i am. finishing the damn show #but holy shit #wha #i can't handle this #< will be engraved on my tombstone #“here lies gayclubsoap: couldn't handle this”

[heartsburst]

me every time i kind of forget and leave something to the last minute: what if i gave up. what then.

#frankie yells #like. i don't forget but i don't idk internalize? that the deadline is fast approaching? #im just like yeah i've got time i'll get around to it! and then i start 1 day before the deadline #and i don't have energy to finish it in one sitting and i don't have the focus to finish it in one day #so then i have this harried rush to finish it the day of. like. #damn bitch you live like this??? #like oh wow your time management is terrible actually?? and that makes you feel bad about yourself??? #it almost like??? you have untreated diagnosed adhd???? #crazyyyy who would have thought it would negatively impact you in like all aspects of your life #not your mother obviously hahahahahaha #idk it's just like i can't not leave things until the last minute and i am fucking myself over constantly and chronically behind on work #what if i gave up??? 🤨🧐 #what then????? #like dawg idk if i have another 2 weeks of school in me :(( and club obligations on top of that... #i just want to party w/ my friends before i move away for a year and figure out wtf im doing 😭 i don't wanna have stuff to doooo ughhhh

[nicastamatis]

@ anon, im not answering any other asks and idk if blocking you also blocks you from seeing this, but homophobic trans people exist and transphobic gay people exist. they are not less queer just because they suck. the existence of trans/homophobic cishet aces doesn't make them less queer. you being bitter about bad experiences with cishet aros/aces doesn't excuse furthering community division; you don't have to be friends with or even interact with cishet aces if you don't want to, but coming onto some random persons blog over a fucking offhand comment on a vent post to start arguing about this is unhinged.

#meposting #ace discourse #leave me tf alone like damn? #im also lgbt + aspec so like. i feel you. but get over yourself. #like idk do you say shit about lesbians being inherently t3rfs because of the minority that use their identity #to promote transphobia. or do you correctly identify that theyre a minority and should not be representative of #lesbians as a whole. #cishet privilege conversations are important but the discourse is pointless + harmful.
