The me from when I first joined the COD fandom would be disgusted with the fact I am considering giving Graves a "hero" arc in one of my works.

Fucking Graves.

I can't with myself sometimes.

Also, @cod-dump this is 100% your fault. I would include the good boy Moose because he's the reason I became emotionally invested in Shadow Company but really? It all boils down to you, doesn't it?

Graves might be getting a hero arc but I'm on my villain arc >:)

You're on my list now, Mike, I swear-

But I can't even be mad at you

Like I wanna but I can't

THIS IS WHAT YOU DO TO PEOPLE!

I just unfollwed someone over their defensiveness about the bad batch series... So I'm ranting a little here. Skip if you want.

I fully understand the stupidity of cancel culture demanding purity in poor context. I get needing to be able to enjoy things without feeling like every conversation has to be about the problem aspects and flaws of the thing you love. I really get it. But not engaging in discourse is different from actively denying and excusing an obvious example of (possibly unintentional) colorism/racism in a popular show when you could just block some tags or scroll on and ignore it. If it was just maybe cross hair, tech, and omega being whiter this probably wouldn't even be a thing. The reason people are bitching is because all of the following combined happening at the same time: all of tbb are whiter, with whiter features, it's the story element that they are "superior" clones with better abilities and for some reason getting whiter, omega is supposedly a clone but is Lilly white (this might end up being because she's a clone of someone else which is fine, but as of now we don't know), and with echo becoming whiter which is unnecessary visually to demonstrate because he has machine parts sticking out of him. In fact, it would have been better for him to regain his old color after being saved to show that he was healing. And to top it off this is coming right off the tails of the last few years where we had two Hispanic characters in the 7th season act as drug smugglers, a Hispanic main in the last sequel reveal a past as a drug smuggler, and a Muslim coded character become a terrorist bomber. The echo thing isn't in a vacuum. Again, it's OK to love a show and characters and still point out when something is being offensive, especially if it is a pattern of missteps, and especially with a franchise as massive as star wars when there's so much content coming out. There are so many people working on these there's no way to know who, if anyone, is individually responsible, so people complain because that's how you let the company know the fans are aware and expect better. And I genuinely am not trying to be mean, like I said at the beginning, I get how it can feel like every freaking thing you love becomes problematic and you are surrounded by people bitching. But I also think tbb is having these issues following a pattern in tcw that is showing people's frustrations coming to a head, I don't think it's coming out of nowhere, so I don't understand the defensiveness about it from some blogs and fans. We wouldn't be bitching if we weren't all fans who give a shit how they write and portray the clones. People are completely justified in their issues with the show and if they don't want to watch anymore that's no one's fault but Disney's. I'm not afraid TBB will get bad ratings because of bitch fans or cancel culture. I'm afraid it will get bad ratings because the company, producers, etc keep fucking up and don't seem to be taking criticism seriously. And I'm sick of people acting like clones turning white is some really good character design thing that we the fans just don't understand. As though TCW has ever been a paragon of good character design outside of a few select characters. Do you not recall season 1 Anakin's weird fugly face? (Anakin fuckers dni) jar jar's space bellbottoms? ezras plastic purple hair? The fucking dumb talking snake in the Maul arc? SMOOTH YODA in rebels?! Fuckign Snootles, yeah remember her? Yeah I came for them all, fight me. There's no subtle secret genius design reason for all the whitewashing.

Having a Crush TM on one of your works but being unable to update it cause you're stuck in an awkward place between one major point to another

So you're trying to write but you can't

And then you're coming up with all these ideas for future chapters and stuff and you're just hopelessly in love

Yeah, that's me right now with Silence Is Golden

I am so fucking tired and worn out from work this week (shift ain't even over yet) but I'm not here to complain

I'm just rambling I think ?

Idk just listen to this

Literally this is technically my first "big girl" job. It's the first time I'm working full time as like a profession. And I'm young and inexperienced working with animals.

Not to mention the fact I dropped out of college a couple of months ago due to mental health issues.

But yesterday my dad unprompted, before I left for work, told me he was proud of me. Told me he was proud I'm doing good and getting up and putting in the effort to go to work everyday. This is a big thing considering I could barely get out of bed and go to one class back in August, and now I'm here working full time.

He's proud that despite all the changes happening at home and in life, I've been putting in my best effort for all this.

And then everyone at work that's been training me is just constantly saying I'm doing good and that they're impressed by how quick I've caught on. There's a channel in the communication thing we use that's called "gratitude" and we're gifted a "taco" for a good job. Just this week I've been getting all sorts of "tacos" and it's just a weird feeling cause like I'm just doing the job I've been asked to, ya know?

Idk this is such a weirdly worded rant, I'm still at work and I'm tired but

I guess this is like a "it does get better" type thing? Like these last few months have been hell to get through. I dropped out of college and a week and a half later I had to put my cat down. And then there's other things and then I got super sick recently

But I'm still doing good. And everyone's been telling me that lately and I just need it.

Now I'm sitting here like

I don't know, I feel very seen lately by the people in my life and I don't know how to feel about it so I'm gonna go clean kennels so I don't cry 🥲

Gaz has a twin story to come

@cod-dump

I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna write a short story about Gaz having a twin sister simply because my own twin about gave me a heart attack today :)

And I need a reason to cry, apparently

Absolutely hate when someone says something to you, and it's clear they're trying to be helpful or show their concern in a manner that isn't direct, but you're not in the mental space to receive it well.

Absolutely hate when you've made a lot of progress on your mental health only for something to happen and you take a step backwards. Absolutely hate that this is a part of the healing process: that healing isn't linear.

Absolutely hate executive dysfunction when I already feel that it's been harder to function

Honestly hate being autistic sometimes. It's just the pressure to perform well in everything is just horrible. Just there's been some things going on lately and it's kinda making the issues worse

What it's Like Having A Twin

Y'all having a twin is a fucking trip sometimes

Especially when y'all ain't even the same gender.

Cause earlier this week, I was really stressed before my interview for a new job (which I got!!) and he was trying to ask me something. Here's the interaction.

He just "when does the uhhh-" *drifts off with a weird sound*

Me, without skipping a beat: "Tomorrow 2pm our time."

He started laughing and I wasn't really paying attention. Then he told me, he was like "You do realize that there was nothing in what I said that indicated what I was gonna ask you about, right?"

I just instinctively knew that he was asking about the second part of a series of videos we're watching comes out.

Guys... nothing in our conversation would have told you that. We couldn't stop laughing about it all day, it was hilarious.

THEN

Today! Our mom texts both of us asking "You guys are seeing a movie tonight, right? What movie?"

To which, we both, at the same time, respond. I stated "Tonight, 8:30, yes. Five Nights at Freddy's movie" and he with "Five Nights at Freddy's, it is tonight"

We hadn't seen each other nor spoken to each other all day. It is currently 1pm. I heard him sigh after we both sent the texts AT THE SAME TIME, and I just lost it. I started laughing really hard and he just, from his room next to mine goes "FUCK!"

I can't this is just too funny

Instantly cured of all ailments. Period? Never had an issue with her in my life, I am fine. Sensory Issues? Depression? Nope, not in this household

#I just can't this is too good #this legit happened guys #I am not lying to you #this the type of shit you can't make up #my parents already think we're weird this is just gonna make it worse #twins #twins are weird #<- why is that not a tag? #twin things #snootles rants

New favorite quote of something I've written

Gaz: "Oh fuck- I think I got stabbed?" *passes out*

It's great I love it

Side note, I feel so bad for having not updated anything in so long but I lost all motivation once I started working. My job is just so physically and mentally draining and by the time I shower and eat it's already like almost 7:30 and I am just done and tired with the day

Anyways, maybe tomorrow I'll have something for y'all once I finish all my chores

#kyle gaz garrick #snootles rants

[snootlestheangel]

It is currently raining and will be all day

Which means I think we should all be in bed.

Thoughts??

#Snootles rants #Snootles is very tired

[snootlestheangel]

My shoes are wet, my feet hurt, I'm hungry and all I wanna do is work on the Silence is Golden update

30 more minutes and my shift is done

#On the bright side #I got to carry a corgi today #Which was incredible because they're my favorite dogs and I've never actually been that close to one before #And I'm so close to finishing that update #So close #Snootles rants #Certified Snootles moment

[snootlestheangel]

What are the odds I can convince my manager to let me go home early tomorrow?

Cause despite the fact I only work 2 hours today (to feed/medicate all the dogs), we're having our family Thanksgiving tomorrow, when I work a full shift

Yeah, cause I am totally looking forward to working an 8 hour shift, coming home smelling like sweat and dog to a house full of people. Granted, it's just my siblings and their SOs but still.

I actually just hate this situation so much. I know it's stupid to expect everyone to bend their schedules around mine, but I'm the only one that works tomorrow. Everyone else, including my brother-in-law's family, is off work tomorrow.

I feel selfish for wanting everyone else to hold off their day until tomorrow but sorry I don't feel like working an 8 hour shift, coming home when it's fucking dark out, showering, and eating/socializing with people. Sorry that I'm still the only one that'll be working cause I work weekends.

I'm just genuinely upset with this situation. We've always treated Thanksgiving as just an excuse to spend time together, and I am actually incredibly grateful for my family. I'm very lucky to be close with my family, and I want to be able to spend time with them.

But no! No! Instead, no one seems to give a shit that I work tomorrow.

#it just does not feel fair but heaven forbid I say anything about it #heaven forbid I come home tomorrow in a foul mood #snootles rants

[snootlestheangel]

Shoutout to the girlies that can still function like a normal person when on their period. Y'all are the real backbones of society, okay?

I am physically incapable of being human anyways, and just am physically incapable of participating in society when on my period

In other words, I feel like shit

#snootles rants #snootlestheangel #Sick and angry are my two emotions for the day

[snootlestheangel]

Not looking forward to today. The shelter is open to the public from our usual morning hours, and then after lunch, from 2-4 is animal caretaking for staff.

Hoping there's not a lot of people visiting cause like it's Christmas Eve, y'all, go home.

But I just checked and we're gonna have our best dog walker volunteer this afternoon so I might be able to leave before 4. She's so efficient and if we rotate runs at the same time, we'll get through every dog in no time

#Granted we still have to feed and medicate all the dogs #Which takes a bit of time cause prepping meds can take a hot minute #But other than that we should be golden this afternoon #Here's to hoping #Certified Snootles Moment #Snootles rants
