#the entitlement is so strong

[bizarrelittlemew]

i wish i could hide individual posts on twitter like sometimes people i like post my gifs (other than the ones i've posted here for everyone to use freely) and i have no more fight in me left to ask people to credit because people over there have been hostile about it (so like, even when the poster is nice about it, i've had "popular" accounts jumping in on conversations they weren't part of to try and claim that crediting other fans for their work was "unreasonable", and in the first place it's pretty 50/50 whether people respond reasonably and add credit or if they ignore and mute/block me so they can continue stealing my gifs without me being sooooo mean and unreasonable and linking to the source i guess) and it's someone i don't wanna unfollow or mute but it just drains my spirit to see that post you know. please let me know if there is a thing like xkit on tumblr that works for hiding individual twitter posts

#🐭📓 #like when the “big” accounts have this attitude it's an uphill battle trying to get people to credit gifmakers #the entitlement is so strong #i also wish i could follow more people but more often than not i go to someone's profile bc they seem cool #and the first thing i see are stolen gifs. often my own. so nah #and it's so stupid like people seem to realize that you need to credit fanart videos and edits but why are gifs the exception? #they're also edits they just move. and screenshotting them (lol) doesn't remove the editing either #the default should be to credit if you didn't make it yourself. not just if people ask #anyway i already felt like all ability to write has been drained from me and now i'm closing PS too and i will just. crawl back into bed ig #delete later #but please let me know if like a script or extension exists for hiding individual twitter posts

Robin never really got boys talk.

When Sarah turned 14 she invited all the girls in band for a sleepover. It started out fun. After her parents went to bed they put on a creepy horror movie and watched it in a huge cuddle pile. They braided each other's hair and did each other's nails and squeezed each other during tense scenes and muffled their shrieks after a sudden jumpscare.

After that they watched another one. This time Sarah sneaked her mother's makeup kit down to the living room, and so lipstick and eyeshadow joined the mess of nail polish, hair clips and snacks already on the floor.

The second movie was different. In the first one, the blood was obviously fake and the acting wasn't the best (to say the least). But the second one was tense through and through. The cries of pain were so visceral that Robin shuddered, and in the end everyone was terrified. It was silently and unanimously agreed upon that everyone had had enough TV for the night. It was already 3 in the morning, but tomorrow was the weekend and right now Robin wouldn't be able to sleep even if she wanted to, and thus began Robin's first real boys talk.

It was funny at first. Sarah pretended to die of heartbreak when "the blond hot one" was unfortunately the second to die. Heather said the nerdy one with glasses and abs was cuter, which started a very heated discussion of whether blond or brown is the more attractive hair color. Robin had to defend her correct "redheads" opinion all by herself.

(When the others got into a stalemate Sarah turned to Robin. "C'mon", she pleaded, "you know that the blond one was hotter. Just tell us which one you found prettier! And don't forget that this is my birthday party."

Robin laughed at the ribbing, played a bit hard to get, until she finally admitted. "I actually found the first one who died the prettiest." Sarah was already halfway through her victory dance, when Robin corrected her. "No, I don't mean the dude. I mean the first one. The girl with the pink purse."

Everything was silent for a moment.

Then Emma laughed. "You don't have to be jealous Robin", she consoled, "you are also very pretty."

"Yeah, especially after our makeover!"

Robin laughed and agreed and continued on as if her world just hadn't been turned on its axis. Because she knew that the stirring in her gut and the beating of her heart had nothing to do with jealousy. She didn't find the blond one hot or the brunet one cute. That was the first time she really knew it. She liked the girl.)

It was a bit funny the first time, even though she couldn't really join. It got less funny the more it went on. Suddenly boys was the only thing everyone wanted to talk about. And worse: it wasn't just unreachable famous boys like singers or actors anymore. Suddenly it was all "oh, Steve Harrington is sooooo cute" or "oh my god, Tommy Hagan had suuuuuuch a glowup" and "I want to lick the sweat of his body after basketball practice" (this last one was applicable to multiple different people, including Steve and Tommy. It was not applicable for Chrissy when she exited cheerleading practice or Beth after football.)

She thought it would get better when Emma finally confessed to her crush and they actually got together, but no. It somehow got worse. Because "normal boy talk" turned into "experienced boy talk", and Robin wasn't allowed to admit that the only thing that got wet when she thought of Billy Hargrove was her mouth, because he made her want to throw up.

At first she'd say that she didn't have crushes. After a while of people refusing to believe her (even if she was telling the truth! Sometimes.) she started pretending to be into Steve Harrington. Every girl had a crush on Steve, so it made sense that she'd been embarrassed to admit that she was just like everybody else. He was way too far above her league for her friends to force her to "confess" and she could stare without fear when he passed by in the halls with the beautiful Tammy Thompson in his arms. Truly, it was a brilliant plan. It didn't stop the boys talk, though.

So she became a tomboy. She joined football and she hung out with boys and she cut her long hair into a bob. She lost a bit of touch with Emma and Sarah and the others, but she tried not to think about it too much. Instead she threw herself into sports and started hanging out more and more with Matt, the second trumpet in band.

And that was that. Sometimes she missed wearing dresses, but it was a relief not to have her mother insisting she "do something about that hair" anymore. She and Matt became best friends. She even considered telling him for a while. Until he sat her down and confessed his feelings.

She tried to let him down as gently as possible, and they never talked again. The cycle would repeat for multiple times.

Someone out there is laughing their ass off because who would have thought that the dude she pretended to have a crush on would turn out to be the missing half of her soul?

It started out like always. She teased him, he laughed. They suffered through customer service together. He was funny and surprisingly in touch with his emotions and apparently babysat a bunch of middle schoolers, which was equally hilarious and adorable to watch. They both enjoy sports and they both hate Billy Hargrove with a passion and Robin is heartbroken because she knows she can't get attached. She has already been through this too many times to allow it to happen again. She gets close with a guy, they become best friends, he confesses, she can't reciprocate, they never talk again.

This is what is going to happen. She should already be used to it, but it still hurts. It's better for her to keep her distance. To encourage him to flirt with other girls, even if she can see that he mostly does it to amuse her.

And then they uncover an actual real life Russian spy network right beneath their place of work like some fucking blockbuster. And then they are pumped up with drugs and the next thing she knows is that they are both throwing up in a cinema bathroom.

And then it happens. Of course it happens.

He starts his little speech and her heart is already breaking. She surprises herself when she realizes how much she started enjoying Steve's company. He is a dingus, but she is also a dingus and they just fit.

She is already preparing her apology in her head (oh fuck work is going to be so awkward), but what comes out instead is what she wishes she could've said every time this happened. What she wished she could have said every time she got close to another person, every time her parents questioned if she finally found a boyfriend. Something she really tried not to feel ashamed of, but it was so fucking hard when you had to keep it hidden all the time.

(She remembers when she used to train in front of the mirror. She would stare at herself and repeat again and again "I am Robin Buckley and I am a lesbian. I am a lesbian. I am-")

She doesn't breathe as she waits for what she knows what comes next. What has to come next. There is a reason she never told anyone, always kept it hidden and to herself even if she wanted to scream it into the world. He will mock her and he will out her and he will be disgusted and-

"Tammy Thompson?!"

Instead they have girls talk. And Robin finally gets it.

#heteronormativity being like: every strong emotion you feel towards the other gender is romance #+ patriarchy being like: men are entitled to women #= robin suffering #</3 #fun fact i actually never had to invent a crush #like they questioned that i never seemed to be into anybody sometimes #but i always said it so vehemently and also outside of 'boys talk' that they just believed me after a while lol #but i know of multiple ppl who had to #robin stranger things #stranger things #steve harrington #robin buckley #pen. #stranger things drabble #robin buckley drabble #stobin #platonic with a capital p #platonic stobin #does this count as a character study?

should have put the ball in the back of the net then shouldn’t you

#also… sitting back and defending suggests we weren’t trying to get over the half way line #which isn’t true #our football IS risky because we tried to play and arsenal kept winning the ball back #anyway watching players i hate have stinkers in front of goal hehehehe lovely stuff #but we showed with our goal that when it does work it’s good which is exactly what the original tweet was saying?? #we’ve not changed how we play at any point this season #we don’t have a squad as strong as arsenal or chelsea or city or united and even if we’re getting beat we’re not giving up and that’s the #point!! that’s what we want to see #arsenal fans are SO entitled i don’t care if you’re used to winning all the the time and used to beating us #they’re sore losers and it’s kind of hilarious #stacey speaks #and actually they kept fouling us too!!! it’s not like we just banked up

[softpine]

whoever the anon is that constantly finds a way to hate on elaine, please stop 😭 you’re entitled to dislike whoever you want, but it’s getting tiring to hear. i don’t want to block you because the other things you say are perfectly reasonable and i would be happy to answer them, but it’s clear at this point that nothing elaine does will satisfy you so i see no point in hashing it out

#i've been getting some messages that make me uncomfortable lately (not all from the same person i don't think) #and i feel really bad putting my foot down because i never want to alienate someone who's taking the time to read my story #so i just want to repeat again that everyone is entitled to their own opinion #and i love hearing all varieties of opinions but please please keep it respectful!! #this isn't a tv show forum where you can rant and rave without the creator ever seeing it #unfortunately i see it all 😅 #and i try not to take it to heart but i do put a lot of myself and my loved ones into these characters #so it's hard to hear such strong hatred for a personality trait that i have or my best friend has. etc #PLEASE continue to discuss each character's flaws and decisions though!! all i ask is that you keep it respectful #and remember that while these characters are not real.. many real people might relate to them #okay sorry for this ramble i feel like i repeated myself 10 times here lmao

Getting online when T Sw**t does literally anything...

Every tag. Every fandom. Fanfic titles. Retconned characters (this character is a sw***ie, this character is this song coded, this ship is so that song coded and so on). Fan Edits out the ass. Audio clips, lyric quotes, hot takes on Twitter/Instagram/Tumblr/YouTube/TikTok. A cruel, unending slew of exposure you did not ask for lmfao

#when will my suffering end #and the worst part is that I generally have no strong feelings about her 😭 I enjoy several of her songs fr #I feel the same way about like the superbowl for example - when everyone apparently is collectively obsessed with this one thing and you ar #not... it's weird. Idk how else to describe it like everything I know about this subject is against my will lmfao #and I can't emphasize enough that I think her music is like... fine!!! It's not my fave but I do enjoy a handful of her songs but the last #48 or so hours have been absolutely a miserable time for me lmao. I cannot go anywhere on any website without being confronted with #content I do not care to see lmfao and I don't mean that in a bitchy way it's just weird!!!! #and I censored her name because I do not want any fan to get pissed at me or say I hate girls winning or something lmao #that's all I really had to say. It's just weird and I don't want it to come off like I'm trying to steal anyone's joy or like I'm some #entitled music snob asshole... it's just weird when you actively are not looking for a person's content but it doesn't matter because #the content WILL be pushed in everything you enjoy and then you are the asshole or a hater for committing the crime of... #just being uninterested lmao 😭 #ignore me #personal #nonsims #just shitposting #gif warning

[letyukisayfuck]

in theory i am a firm believer in 'you can do whatever you want forever' but sometimes i do see takes that make me second guess my dedication to it

#ruby.txt #not even anything like 'Bad'(tm) or whatever #just. like. takes i really don't like or think are stupid. #i do try to remember that other people are entitled to enjoy things in whatever way they like #however i am kind of a judgmental bitch with strong opinions by nature #so it is sometimes an effort to keep them to myself

[bizarrelittlemew]

if you hate the thing so much why not just scroll by instead of reblogging and writing a novel in the tags

#the entitlement is so strong in some of these replies/tags #trying to dictate what people should write in comments is the reason readers are reluctant to do it actually so congrats you're the problem #so happy to see all the authors who are thankful for kudos-comments they've already received #and all the readers saying it has finally enabled them to leave comments even if it's just a small graphic #it's all a little overwhelming rn and i should probably go to sleep #personal #vaguing lmao #🐭📓

"i've been burned by reading unfinished and abandoned fics so i only read completed fics" and then you wonder why there's so many abandoned half-way fics lmao if writers aren't getting any support while they're writing their fic why should they feel motivated to keep sharing their works

#i talk a lot <3 #'i want a button that notifies me when a fic is finished because i don't have the patience for single chapter updates' #do you have any idea how entitled that sounds???? hello??? #so *you* don't have the patience to read single chapter updates but writers are supposed to keep posting their 50k fics without any support #get out of here with that #engage with uncompleted fics! leave comments with every update! be nice to fanfic writers dammit!! #they're sharing their work with us without asking anything back the least we can do is tell them if we like it!! #i have strong opinions about this akdjsksks

[luckyfaeth]

just saw a long ass post about d20 that talks about neverafter and burrow's end criticizing that they felt like they missed their goals in their identity given the initial marketing and i feel like it fails to account for the fact that while yes there is a plan with a narrative plot and themes and such they are also liveplays of dnd - things are going to shift and change as it goes on and sometimes plots get picked up and left behind because something more interesting to the players takes their time etc. and im not saying theyre perfect and things couldnt be improved by say longer seasons or more grace time between filming eps but to gloss over that fact is missing the point i feel

#im not tagging this bci dont really wanna debate it i see peoples points and ur entitled to ur opinions! #mainly with neverafter - i dont really see it with burrows end as much #i kind of get being like well they feel like they misstepped in marketing it #but idk - it wouldve been hard to get some of the big plot points that ended up happening without spoiling a LOT #neverafter i get didnt end up as much 'horror' as intended but thats kind of the nature of hte players i feel #and thats just what happens with ttrpgs! the dm sets a map but the players ultimately dictate wher it goes #i thought burrows end achieved what it wanted to much better i feel #so i dont really get that one. but i also have strong recency and aabria bias

if I went through half of what pitigi went through I would’ve retired already so I get so annoyed when ppl have no sympathy when some of them go silent for a while. useog announced two weeks ago that he was going on a two week rest and will resume penbamra monday the 23rd, and he’s more than entitled to that after having to take the dj position at a really difficult time and even keeping it through the process of leaving cube… you’re not … deprived of him rn and you even know he’s coming back in three days :/

#fans have seen so much of what they’ve gone through and yet act so entitled im shocked sometimes #personally I would’ve quit by dawngate #if not then then canceled cb/boys planet #but they keep going!! bc they’re that passionate and strong! #rant #im fine with not seeing useog for two weeks not seeing vincent for two years yutito probably not doing anything pitigi related for two years #as long as they’re okay and doing what’s best for them #I mean…in Vincent’s case it’s not what he wants to do or what’s best for him (he does need time out of the public eye tho ) #it’s just something he has to do if he wants to be able to continue as a singer… #or a public figure at all

Rant

Getting the kind of comment after an action scene or sex scene in a fic that says “It was just starting to get interesting” , especially when I leave a cliff hanger is not a compliment.

It is not a compliment, not to me at least. I’m big on story, background, characters having convos. If any of this is boring for a reader, I rather they just skip my work.

Saying it just got interesting when there is a sex scene or action scene rubs me the wrong way. I don’t write porn. I don’t write persistent smut disguised as a fic. I don’t write action stories.

So yes. If you read my work there will be lots of build up, background, and convo, and lots of stuff in between any action and sex.

It’s important to me and the story. It’s important to the characters and the story I want to tell.

I won’t change this. So if you only think a story I’m telling is interesting once action happens, or if you skimmed over everything just to read the action, do us both a favor and don’t read my work.

There are endless full on smut and action writers out there. Honestly you can type in a character and that’s likely what you’re going to get first.

That stuff (no shade just saying) is the most popular. Most read. Most reblogged. People largely ignore other work for that. So if you want that, you have many options that don’t include my work.

#rant over #I know hate is a strong word but the quality of some readers out there make me not want to share anymore #what the fuck happened #it’s changed so much #and I don’t like it #I hate it actually #thank goodness for the readers who aren’t shitty of entitled #you are a fresh breath for us #thank you

Something I'm struggling with rn is like. Maybe I should trust my boss more and like... Release the mental load. Dear god I hope that didn't sound like a euphemism. What I mean is: we have 2 major absences this week and 3 callouts just in one day for tm. He's aware of the 2 absences and is actually the one who notified me about them last night when he told me I'd need to cover one absence today. So of course when I get the chance, I go into the schedule and look at all the other shifts that are now gaping holes and I have no idea what we're doing about them. Today is covered (actually it wasn't, but that's a different story), but what about every single day of the rest of the week? He hasn't told me how he wants to handle them, he hasn't utilized X tool to find coverage; normally on his days off, I feel totally fine going ahead and utilizing X tool on my own without anyone's permission, because I do have a lot of autonomy... but he's the one who told me about the absences, he's the one who told me how to handle them. Eventually I text him asking how he'd like me to handle things and if he'd like me to utilize X tool. I get a response back that clearly implies he's thought it out, he just didn't... tell me anything of what he had planned, I guess? So I was bugging for nothing. I mean, not for nothing: these are still huge, gaping holes in the schedule and it's going to be a massive strain (hint: his solution is that he and I fill in all the shifts; I'm clopening tomorrow->the day after etc). But I didn't have to take on that mental load of planning or thinking about planning, even. I could have just. Idk. Relaxed and trusted??? I feel like I would have been way, way, way more relaxed about it if it was Prev Boss, like I would have felt confident that she'd already thought of what to do and was just busy and couldn't let me know about it just yet. Not him though

#it's the lack of communication #i'm going to just tell him to please give me all the info at once #even if he doesn't have answers i'd rather know he doesn't have answers #i'm OK taking on some or even all of the problem solving #i mean the other half of it is that he just doesn't seem to think stuff through #i mean. that's harsh #but he doesn't seem to follow a thought to its conclusion #i.e. 'this employee will be alone -> this employee is entitled legally to a break -> someone will need to go there to break them' #it leaves me scrambling to protect and cover people when he makes changes etc. #idk. #i was certainly extremely flawed and inexperienced as a gm #so i recognize stuff yk #but i do think a difference is that. he has a strong support system #so ideally this will change over time yk #diary entry sorry

[dangerclaw]

Let’s be honest, Jacob/Emma was never gonna be endgame.

Jacob couldn’t let go of the idea of a committed relationship and Emma made it clear their relationship would be temporary

He’s sweet to her, but he’s needy in a way that has him in her space that ultimately annoys her and distance herself further (ie. Jacob: Let me get those bags for you. Emma: I can get my own bags)

She’s nice at times, but tends to be performative and tease him emotionally to get a reaction out of him (good or bad, it’s something).

When things end, she continues to be flirtatious because the attention from Jacob is still flattering. Other times she acts sassy (and kinda rude) towards him and establishes how she isn’t his girlfriend, to get it through his head that their relationship won’t become serious.

Examples include:

Insisting on carrying her own bags. She’s her own person and doesn’t want him doting on her like she’s his girlfriend- because she’s not and doesn’t want to be.

Telling him the fling was over when summer ended. Only to THEN say it’s not over *yet* and skinny dipping with Jacob. (That flip flop between what she says and what she does causes an emotion whiplash and mixed signals for someone still emotionally invested, ie. Jacob)

Saying she’s no one’s girlfriend, and then having a heavy make out session with Nick. (This upsets Jacob b/c even though he knows they’re broken up, his feelings still linger. Abigail was also upset by this.)

This says a lot about how Emma, Jacob, Nick and Abigail feel about/approach relationships.

For Emma and Nick, physical affection (ie. kissing) doesn’t have as much of an emotional connection/pull as it does for Jacob and Abigail.

Emma, someone Abigail considers a friend, knew about Abi’s feelings for Nick and made out with him anyway. A quick peck would’ve sufficed, but Emma wanted to make a statement.

To Jacob: “I’m not your girlfriend, get that through your head”

To Abigail: “Make a move already. It shouldn’t take this long. I’m kissing him, so it shouldn’t be hard for you to kiss him already”

Nick was an active participant, make no mistake. He sees himself as a hot guy who can get any girl he wants and he makes this known by making out with Emma. He was “playing along”

Abi was essentially humiliated and betrayed by both her friend and crush simultaneously. She keeps her distance towards people because she holds great significance between closeness and connection. She won’t intrude on someone’s space and make a move unless the other person makes it known that they reciprocate and will allow her attempt at closeness/connection. Abigail needs a connection established to allow closeness.

That’s different from Jacob, who attempts closeness to establish connection. He tries to stretch out the last day of summer— by messing with the car, of all things. It’s a desperate move, a poor move and it’s a dick move. It’s a move that Jacob chose in order to spend time and attempt to get close to Emma again to create a connection and rekindle their relationship.

Jacob still holds a significant emotional attachment to Emma and is upset by seeing her make out with a guy that isn’t him. Even though he KNOWS they’re broken up, the feelings haven’t faded. He still FEELS like they’re together and that they should still be together, but that’s never gonna happen.

Emma continues to say that she doesn’t want a serious relationship, all while being flirty and close with Jacob AFTER their breakup. Jacob’s absolutely attached to Emma, and he interprets the flirtations to be signs of wanting a serious relationship.

Jacob SHOULD know better than to try to convince Emma to have feelings for him the same way he has for her. That was never gonna happen with her. Emma wanted him for now, not forever. He needed to process that instead of denying the reality of the situation and insist upon a relationship that never would’ve come to fruition with someone like Emma.

They were drawn to each other, but they don’t have the same values. Neither one was gonna compromise for the other.

Jacob wasn’t fine with a fling and Emma didn’t want a committed relationship. Their stances on this weren’t gonna change in a day.

Advice for Emma: Say what you mean and mean what you say. Your actions should reflect your words. You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

Advice for Jacob: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. If you try to force it, it never turns out well. You don’t keep walking forward when you’re facing a dead end.

TLDR: The problem with Jacob/Emma was misaligned goals and different interpretations/approaches towards romantic relationships. They’re toxic for each other and it was never gonna last. They had chemistry, but they weren’t compatible in the long run.

#the quarry game #the quarry spoilers #relationship analysis #character analysis #Emma/Jacob #Jacob/Emma is toxic and I stand by it #they are honestly terrible for each other #they don’t communicate #they assume they are on the same page when that’s clearly not the case #also Abigail/Nick is trash #Abi deserves someone else tbh #Abi would’ve gotten her heart broken by Nick so bad #also Abi is annoying but I see where she’s coming from #she reminds me of Ashley and I don’t like it #the innocent cuties that are selfish assholes but more subtle about it #Nick deserves no one #abusive/entitled vibes are strong in Nick
