#so i left someone else to do something

[gabetheunknown]

I just wanna say, because it is something that I have HEAVILY struggled with in the past and still am struggling with to this day,

- You're allowed to put away your phone upon reading things that anger/saddens you

- You're allowed to focus on things that distract you from this horrendous news

- You're allowed to be happy about your own wins, and focus on your own life, and come back to this when you have the strength

if it is not the time for you to do something right now, it simply isn't the time for you to do something right now

Trust me if you're not doing something, someone else definitely will, we're not staying still and we will pick you up whenever you're ready to go

#look ive been dealing with cptss and ditching my entire family #who are probably up in their conservative hypochristian lil village celebrating this big win for them #and it triggered a lot in me today #in a good way this time #i am angry #but listen #it has happened numerous times in the past where I didn't have any energy left in me after reading such news #so i left someone else to do something #i stayed on the background #celebrating as things changed in positive ways #I even had times where I ignored politics altogether #and that was okay too #you're only one person #who can deal with only so much #take care of yourself 💕 #cptss in my first tag is supposed to be cptsd of course but i dont wanna go back and correct it #gabe's thoughts

Thoughts on being aroace

#I like doing these little introspective thought comics they’re pretty fun #I didn’t get to include this in the comic but I do feel like loneliness is maybe not quite the right word #it’s not quite jealousy or envy either #more like #the sad knowledge that you are lower on someone else’s list of priorities than they are on your priorities #something like that I guess #if this seems like a sad comic don’t worry! I am ok :) I have my best friend and we’re both very clear on how much we care for each other #so I’m never really left needing or wanting more love or anything #love is so weirdly defined anyways

Losing my shit about this article in which a transphobic Tory was so busy panicking about existing in the vicinity of a Trans that she almost certainly misheard "jeans" as "penis" and decided that not only was this a problem with the other woman, but also that the world must be informed of this pressing danger.

"a trans woman! I had to stand directly behind her....I thought, 'this is going well', I'm handling The Situation fine'..."

translated: I saw a tall woman with broad shoulders. How would I get out of this alive? I thought. she has a PENIS. PENIS PENIS PENIS. through some force of PENIS I mean will I managed to PENIS behave normally towards her. My hands were PENIS PENIS PENIS shaking as I tried to dry them. summoning up all my PENIS courage I said 'dryer's crap innit'. she turned to me and said " yeah I'm just goiPENIS PENIS PENIS"

It's been a week and I'm still shaking. This proves trans women are the problem and I'm not weird. I'm fine. It's fine. If you think about it I'm the hero hePENIS!!!!!

very this

#red said #it's just. I'm obsessed. #everyone on Twitter is saying 'never happened' and i think they're wrong #this absolutely did happen and she's been obsessing over how vindicated it made her feel enough to WRITE AN ARTICLE ABOUT IT #because she MISHEARD SOMEONE IN A CASUAL CONVERSATION #i lay out my reasoning thusly: if you were INVENTING a scary trans woman in bathroom story out of nothing. why would it be this? #why would you go with 'we had a banal conversation until she said a sentence that makes no sense and that no human has ever uttered #but which does coincidentally sounds almost exactly like a mishearing of a very NORMAL thing to say in the circumstances #then she left and nothing else occurred' #if you were going to INVENT a story you would probably make it MAKE SENSE or SOUND THREATENING #i truly believe this is a very authentically told account of what she thinks happened #because who would. by means other than mishearing. think 'I'm going to wipe my hands on my penis' makes any sense at all. #a) 'I'm going to dry my hands on my genitals' says the presumably fully clothed woman #b) who then proceeds to leave without doing anything threatening #c) WHO SAYS PENIS THREATENINGLY? sorry it's writing out 'penis' repeatedly that made this jump out to me but like. who says that? #you might hear someone talk casually about their dick or cock but i stg it's only doctors and TERFs who casually use the word penis much #it's so. clinically descriptive. it's a weird use of language. but it IS. something you could plausibly mishear from 'pants' or 'trousers'

not romantic or platonic but a secret third thing (bonded pair)

#I think more character dynamics should be described as bonded pairs #are two characters very attached to each other in a way that's hard to define? bonded pair. #are two characters rarely seen in a scene without each other? bonded pair #do two characters get anxious when separated? bonded pair #I don't mean this in a weird way I mean it in the way cats will be bonded when at a shelter together or something #this can apply to so many characters I think #regardless of whether they're romantic or platonic or whatever #most necrocav duos in tlt for example #and too many duos in fma to count #like obviously knowing me im thinking about greedling #but also the elric brothers or mustang and hawkeye #but also. many of the side characters. #doing my massive spreadsheet (almost done btw!) has shown to me that jerso and zampano are almost always in the same scene #that's a bonded pair babey #brosh and ross too. to me. #anyway. someone once left the tags ''bonded pair do not separate'' on a greedling post of mine and i haven't stop thinking about it #that's just how I conceptualize their dynamic now #two cats that have to be adopted together or else they'll start destroying furniture

#art tag #gortcas #casim carnarvon #sorry guys proper context some other time maybe idk how to do it right now so no caption it is🤕 #the tldr is that Gortash offhandedly talked about how Cas can make him as fat as he pleases but really it wont make him him his #basically that he only allows Cas to have his way but hes still in full control #which is true yes and Cas knows that to an extent but its not something he wants to hear #because Cas very much holds onto the hope that Gortash will be his forever at some point. phsyically #because again. Cas won't ever believe just words he simply is unable to even if Gortash could never love anyone else #at the same time while yes he obviously enjoys the whole weight gain he does not consider his own enjoyment a good reason to do things #Cas is someone that very much disregards his own enjoyment of things as well as his wellbeing #Cas is just pulling away instead of acting mad in an obvious way. hes sticking around but hes not feeding or teasing him about his weight #and Gortash? is now left with not knowing how to fix it since Cas isnt acting as he usually does when hes hurt or mad. hes still there #and day after day passes where he yearns to have it back. practically begging Cas to continue so he can prove his devotion #prove that he mustve been wrong with his comment. that Cas can push his body as far as he wants to and he'll be his in the end #thx for reading my tags guys maybe i can share more about this scene some other time🙂‍↕️ for now just have the art

You know sometimes I think about that whole narrative tragedy around Huaisang where to get revenge for his brother on jgy he has to become more and more like jgy and turn into a person that his brother would hate. And yes the scheming and the lying and the making other people do your dirty work so you'll never get caught and have to face consequences for your actions is all very foils. Very tragedy. Love it.

But then I think back to nieyao in the fire palace and how it's not the spy thing Nie Mingjue is mad about, not really. He didn't know about it and changes his mind on trying to kill meng yao when xichen tells him but he's still mad and it's not the spy thing. However many cultivators he killed and tortured under Wen Ruohan's orders because he couldn't lose his cover are a factor but the crux of it? It's those last few. And specifically that Meng Yao had an out. A way for them to survive. And he used it. But only for Nie Mingjue. All the others got killed on the spot but Nie Mingjue got the out, got to live. And maybe (likely) if he'd tried to save the others Nie Mingjue would have needed to die but Nie Mingjue has been ready to die for his sect since he was 14 and if it meant defeating Wen Ruohan he'd be happy to. The fact is that those last deaths weren't to defeat Wen Ruohan but to keep Nie Mingjue alive and that is what he can't forgive. It's that after everything the thing he is so angry at Meng Yao for is choosing to value his life over that of his men.

And then I look back at Nie Huaisang who lied and schemed, yes, but who, most importantly, committed so hard to his headshaker persona that the Nie clan declined by the year, a shadow of its former self after only a decade of leadership.

And I realize that both Meng Yao and Nie Huaisang at one point looked at Nie Mingjue, and then looked at multitudes of Nie sect cultivators, and decided that Nie Mingjue was more important. And that's what he'd hate the most.

#mdzs #mdzs meta #nie mingjue #nie huaisang #meng yao #jin guangyao #something about... meng yao killing him... being the least of his sins in mingjue's mind #and yet everything in huaisang's #nie mingjue is mad about meng yao killing him insomuch as he sees himself as an obstacle to stop meng yao from doing bad things to others #and eliminating him was a way for him to continue doing so #his own death? trivial. the real problem is everything else jin guangyao might now get away with #and then nie huaisang intentionally let him get away with everything else for years on end to get revenge for mingjue #just. the way this is the exact opposite of what he wanted in every single way. #sometimes i think huaisang knows #and doesn't care #his brother can't be dissapointed in him anymore because he's gone and it's jin guangyao's fault. #if someone wanted him to care about da-ge's opinion then maybe they should have LEFT HIM ALIVE

jughead almost immediately removing himself from the musical aka the narrative the moment that someone else (kevin & clay) starts writing their own version of it and in turn, his removal from controlling the narrative ends up allowing the characters to take back control of their own narrative because when jughead writes and rewrites the story, it ends up trapping the characters deeper inside the narrative and the cycles they are desperate to escape until they are repeating the same behaviours over and over again but when kevin & clay write and rewrite the story, it ends up giving the characters back their agency because they're trying to help them which then allows them to break free from the narrative and walk away.

#riverdale #riverdale spoilers #rvd text #rvd meta #rvd narrative #jughead jones #kevin keller #clay walker #like i love jughead this isn't anti-jug or anything just to be clear but the show has imo perfectly established how traumatised jughead #really is and that he never actually deals with any of it and then this season you go from his comic episode whereby it demonstrates so #clearly that despite good intentions his anger heavily influences his writing and storytelling and then the next episode he acknowledges #that his father abandoned him and writes about it. we don't know what he wrote exactly but he wrote something and it slowly starts to #change him for the better #and the story really does start to slowly change from that point too #and even clothing wise. someone pointed out that jughead's clothes (pjs especially) drastically changed the moment he wrote about fp #what that means i have no idea but you can't not notice it #and when you look at the musical episode especially kevin and clay had an idea in mind for it - a narrative they were trying to push #but then saw what it was doing to the characters and were prepared to take a step back and listen to them and what they want #and change the story accordingly and while it ended with the majority of them leaving the musical #they left because they were given the freedom and choice to do it because they weren't being forced into a role someone else assigned them #like that's the point: THEY COULD LEAVE! #THEY MADE THEIR OWN CHOICES! #THIS IS STORYTELLING!!! #and i won't hear anything bad against it

very annoying to see posts about hijikata never moving on from mitsuba in the ginhiji tag as if both cant co exist

#hijikata has left shinsengumi for gintoki. something he wasnt able to do even for her #gintoki also parallels his love with her thru their similar food habits those three share #he loves them both but one stayed unacted upon while the other is his new chance not to make the same mistake #so yes i do believe he has moved on in sense of dating someone else even though she will always have a place in his heart of course #gintama #ginhiji #gintama rambles #gintoki x hijikata

crying is so stupid sometimes like pull yourself together whore

#like im just crying cause i need a break from being a person #and being a person would be okay if i was doing it with someone else #but im just a person. all by myself All the time #thats fucking exhausting #tbd #idk #my brain feels like a bowl of cotton balls #but in a bad way #i just need to go to bed but theres too much anxiety in my body!!!! #i feel it in my hands so much #like my fingertips feel like they could just start sparking cause theres so much anxiety in there #i sound a little (a lot) crazy #but i dont know its like #it sounds like im just upset about being alone #its not quite that . its that but a little to the left #like nobody Really knows how my day went today #nobody saw me come home and just sit on the floor for a few minutes #nobody Sees me #other than immediate family and like coworkers im not that close with anybody in real life #which yeah thats my fault but #it just makes me feel so isolated #nobody Sees me or HEARS me #to everyone around me im not. an individual person im just apart of their day im somebody they brushed past or something #there isnt anybody that is a person with me just because they can be #i feel like i could scream at the top of my lungs and nobody would bat an eye #im just tired of not having anyone around me #i dont know i just seem crazy and self centered or something #i just need to go to bed

y3 has made me feel many things but one of the things that lingers with me the most about it is how majima takes every possible opportunity and makes every possible gesture to say “please don’t leave me alone again, please take me with you when you leave, I WANT to be right next to you when you need me, I’ll literally do anything for you, just don’t leave me alone again” always indirectly but in strong enough ways that i think it’d be obvious to anyone paying attention EXCEPT Kazuma Kiryu, The Densest Man On Earth, who he’s pleading to in the first place. it’s. frustrating to watch. someone needs to grab kiryu by the shoulders and tell him. for the love of god. this man loves you so much and you keep leaving him when all he wants to do is help you and be with you please just take him to okinawa oh my god

#kazumaji #it’s FRUSTRATING #specifically thinking about the scene in the bar after the pink truck debacle #where majima finally says like. if you’re going to Okinawa to deal with this whole assassination thing or whatever comes up I’m coming #with you. you don’t have a ton of support down there and me and you together are basically unstoppable #pretty much completely outright #and kiryu. the dense stubborn motherfucker he is. is like. i don’t have No One down there I have a few friends (missing the point). I’ll be #fine. I don’t need your help there. you should stay here #I’ll give him some credit because then saying ‘someone has to stay here and keep the Tojo clan from total collapse’ is a good point and it #does mean something that he trusts majima to be that person (especially given I don’t think anyone else on earth would trust him with that) #(despite him being totally capable- you know mad dog persona and all that blah blah blah) #like that’s a good point idk who else would be a good choice to do that considering daigo’s out of commission and who’s even left after that #obviously mine is Sketchy. kashiwagi is (supposedly) dead. everyone else kiryu trusts in the yakuza is dead or injured more or less. #not gonna leave fuckin DATE in charge or something #so. fair enough point. but nonetheless it doesn’t erase the fact that kiryu overlooks what majima means in the grander scheme of things #and still believes first and foremost that he doesn’t need/want his help when he does and he should #he’s just. allergic to making life easier for himself #among other issues #sigh #yakuza 3 #y3 #goro majima #kazuma kiryu #kiryu #majima #rambling

Can we please get lore? /nf or anything ofc I just love the way you write lore

OUGHHHHHHHH ok well in short. regarding himawari and willow in simple terms willow is literally just a redesign of himawari which was my old sona but i decided to do some interesting lore shit with it

and that shit being the fact that willow was created by himawari in the nothingness (a place in the realm i don't think i really mentioned yet........god it's so hard to explain lore here cus i practically said nothing about the world) because himawari was ''the creator'', and then she gave him her core/soul so that he could be the '''''new himawari'''''', alongside this she gave him another core from someone who we will later find out (probably). after this she decided to stab herself in the chest in front of him so that the timeline would reset but without her and with willow instead, so that he would become the new creator (basically sona). the thing is this shit was fucking traumatising because willow can't help but think this was all his fault even though this was what himawari wanted

#asks #lore drop #i had to make a whole ass storyboard about this the other day my hand was hurting so bad #only my brother got to see it tho it's like. 15 images i dont think i can post it here #but YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! before becoming the new sona willow just had to fucking witness the old one killing themselves #also this is PROBABLY why willow has top surgery scars. cus. his form was directly created from himawari's body #hence why his hair and skin colour is the exact same #they almost look like siblings #with the core from someone else: that's also a message himawari wanted to pass onto the new sona because they #have to do something with it but. willow just fucking left it in the nothingness because he was too busy crying #before then vanishing and going into the real world #anyways yeah this is like. lore from the realm? in reality willow existed before himawari even ''created'' him #i like to think this realm shit is accessed kinda like a dream? so there's real life and. whatever this fucking world is

This is the spiritual successor to Four Seasons Landscaping. To me.

#the political career of rishi sunak over the past two years is something that is absolutely fascinating to me #mans kicks off the mass resignation of virtually everyone of relevance in the johnson government just for a shot at power #manages to climb over everybody else in the leadership campaign; loses at the last hurdle to liz truss #(the human embodiment of a soggy ball of iceberg lettuce you left in your fridge and forgot about) #when truss’s premiership imploded he was right there to… further cock things up? #his highlights include hiring back a cabinet minister who had literally been fired the previous day #after 18 months; his party finally got sick enough of him violently hydroplaning down the highway to hell that they threatened him #with a vote of no-confidence #so he went out in the rain and went straight to charles iii of all people to ask him to dissolve parliament. as you do #and called a general election WHILE STILL IN THE RAIN and while the most unserious music imaginable played in the background #because i guess he thought ‘if i’m going down i’m bringing all of you with me’ ????? #knowing that unless something absolutely bananas happens; he is essentially handing over the country to keir starmer mind you #and then today someone placed him in front of a morrisons sign in such a way that his big head makes the sign look like it says ‘moron’ #and photographed him as such. i’m obsessed. no notes #i will not miss this idiot but i can’t say i haven’t been entertained. because i have #i’m like genuinely impressed with how much the tories have managed to fuck up in so many different ways #to be honest ever since david cameron resigned and walked off humming; nothing has been normal here #i mean things were bad before that but good god #personal

it keeps dawning on me, on a daily basis, that i might actually genuinely be homeless soon

#the housing situation here is absolutely crazy. i don't stand a chance. it's so fucking scary #like i try not to obsess over it i try to remind myself that i have almost three months left to find something but *how* when there are #over 100 requests within less than 12 hours. *how* when i have no real job. *how* when there's no reason to let to me than anyone else #how do i not obsess over the absolute powerlessness in this situation. how do i not obsess over that #i genuinely cannot think about anything else and i have a uni report to write until monday #but all i can think is 'you'll be homeless you'll be homeless you'll be homeless and you have no power over it' #i refuse to cry in this library but someone anyone tell me how to stop obsessing and how to stop being so scared #over a hundred in less than 12 hours. i don't stand a fucking chance. you'd think this is berlin for how crazy this is #blah #not st

something about when el went into void and found billy, she saw him on the beach surrounded by sunshine and love and truly fucking actually happy. something about how when she turned around and saw the storm, she put her hands out and felt the ash falling from the sky, and then saw neil abusing billy and abusing his wife. something about how even in the monstrous world from another entire dimension, neil's still the fucking monster in the story

#idk how the upsidedown and the void and possession work and at this point i dont fucking care #actually something about how she said she saw a someone pretty and then saw a boy #and didnt even click it could be billy until she heard his name get called out #like i guess she wouldn't know what he looked like as a kid and all that #but like.... they knew billy was possessed by this stage like? #and when she was like 'im at the beach' and lucas was like '??? hawkins has no beaches???' #max was like 'tell us what else u see' so pretty sure she was picking up what was getting thrown down #whatever none if this matters!!! i was just clipping up that scene for gifs today and decided to not mute it for once #and was like oh this is actually like genuinely fucking sad #like????? the fact billys hiding out in his memories??? except he cant actually live in just his happiest memory #cos even in his happiest memory #he asks to stay at the beach just a little longer #and his mum hesitates before giving in but still says if they're late then neil'll be mad #also the fact even his happiest memory is still surrounded by some of his most heart wrenching memories #like he can't remember the good without the bad #like his mind physically cant think about the one day on the beach were he caught a 7 foot wave #without remembering the fact that his mum fucking left #cant do this rn sorry guys im fucking emo #m #text

ok. i did NOT change my sheets tonight either but i DID put away a bunch of laundry which will make it easier to change my sheets tomorrow. and if i’m brave i’ll even do MORE laundry tomorrow. while i change the sheets

#i need quarters. if i get some quarters i can even wash these sheets right away. wouldn’t that be something #doing anything at all after work always feels like a miracle. i got a couple things done tonight so hopefully i can do a couple tomorrow #(change my sheets) #chatpost #i also NEED to book my car rental at work tomorrow. and print some stuff for my birthday scrapbook #i didn’t get any of my personal tasks done at work today bc i was all over the place & then my coworker left early so i had to get someone #else to come in. which like that god that was an option. wouldn’t it be nice if we weren’t so understaffed #*thank god
