#whole social life.

[fagmegumi]

generally beginning to realize that most people who thirst for the jjk men are doing so incorrectly and for the wrong reasons like just making up a generic archetype of a really cool hot guy from those het smutty self published amazon novels and pretending theyre the jjk dudes. when you can say anything about gege akutami but he gave us such a diverse & fascinating cast of hot dudes who are losers in such specific and different ways but always so devastatingly that none of them get any hole whatsoever

#like gojo is this hot super strong unflappable cool guy but he only had 1 friend who tolerated him bc they were both the most insufferable #guy around and ever since he died he’s been annoying hapless teenagers who cant do anything about his obnoxious presence and thats his #whole social life. #toji is a badass action hero who also in his head has the Action Man backstory of yes i may have been a shitty deadbeat dad… but i did it… #to Protect My Family😤 but his legacy is that megumi doesn’t remember or think about his and when he does its ‘oh yea that loser’ and also #as previously mentioned his only employable skill is Can Cut Down Big Monsters; Fast and he looks like he uses dish soap on his hair #sukuna would be the closest to the idealized hot powerful guy image at least if ur a monsterfucker which i know many of us in the lgbt #community are. but he’s also an apocalyptic maneating entity who’s tied to the whims of a chaotically good teenager who would eat an entire #jar of mayo on a dare and summon him to ask for an opinion on his new hair dye. #which is both a hysterical premise that should be used more in fanart/fic for comedy AND profoundly pathetic on his part. #only exception to all this is nanami but thats bc he is textually canonically there to offset the swagless vibes of the main adult cast esp #gojo with his dignified huge dick energy. #to be clear i dont profoundly care about any of this like i think its funny im not mad about it . but as a known pathetic guy desirer i had #to say my piece #personal #jjk

My favorite pieces this year

i think it would be funny if people occasionally arose from the dead. like if that was a real-life one-in-a-million but well-documented Thing That Sometimes Happens, and the entire legal system around death (laws on inheritance & marriage & murder etc) had to include caveats for the unlikely-but-scientifically-possible event that the dead person in question might spontaneously self-resurrect, even years or decades after death. it would raise so many inconvenient and absurd possibilities

#imagine the legal system in that timeline #property laws and inheritance laws and bigamy laws--what happens if your spouse resurrects 10 years after they die? #think how AWKWARD that would be #what happens if you inherit from someone who comes back do you have to give the inheritance back? what if u used it to buy stuff? #does the jetski u bought with the money your grandpa left u 15 years ago in college now belong to grandpa? #or is there a statute of limitations? #if the guy you got convicted of murdering returns from the dead does your conviction get changed from murder to grievous harm? #how is the grievousness of the harm measured? in the number of years the guy spent as a corpse? #what if you spend 20 years in prison and the victim comes back to life and it turns out grievous harm would have landed you only 5ish years #do you get reimbursed for the extra 15 years u spent in prison? #what is the legal process for proving you have come back to life? #what are the minimum legal requirements for establishing a revenant's identity? #does it become regulation to make fingerprint/dental records of every single person who dies just on the off chance one of them comes back? #what happens if it's someone from like 300 years ago? #the world has changed and everyone they know is dead. is there a social services department that can help with that? #there would be a whole branch of counseling services for people who have reanimated or had a loved one reanimate #grief 2.0 counselors

The girls are plottinggggg

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wen chao #wang lingjiao #Realizing she was supposed to have an upper lip mole was a cold slap in the face. So sorry ma'am. I won't forget again. #They are evil dumbass 4 evil dumbass and I think we are all missing out on the sheer potential of the comedy between these two. #They have way too much power and are using it for the wrong reasons - which makes them truly great villains. #And when things don't go their way they become piles of whining sludge. #Wang Lingjiao is forever fascinating to me even though we only get crumbs about her. #She's a servant girl who's greatest asset is her beauty and her attractiveness. #Meaning she's had a life being in the gaze of people with significant positions of power over her. #I can't help but read her childishness and petty tantrums as someone who has finally been given the chance to not feel powerless. #If she was a more virtuous type we might 'like' her more but honestly...I don't think she would have survived to this point. #WLJ has only known power hierarchies her whole life. Probably accused of seduction before she even understood what that meant. #I love contrasting her with mianmian because they have similar(ish) backgrounds but different approaches to moving forwards #But WLJ's story is about flying too close to the sun and mianmian's is about going too close to the water. #Like the sea mist dragging her down into complacency - all the sect powerplays are mandatory to 'go along with' if she wants to climb- #-the social ladder. Yet she is the cautionary tale (and a foil to JGY as well) she leaves before sacrificing her own morals. #Mianmian flies away with her wings only slightly plucked while those who sacrificed everything to reach for the top crash and burn.

Mf with academic validation issues who grew up in an emotionally neglectful family gets 1 compliment once

Save my boy Deuce 🩵🩵🩵

#one piece #masked deuce #marco the phoenix #whitebeard pirates #ace novel #one piece fancomic #many ppl (including myself) find it strange how quick Deu was to accept the Whitebeards since it seems very out of character for him #now I still think it is out of character buuut #imagine you’ve been torn down socially by your bother your whole life #and your parents wanted for both of you to be doctors but he was a protogy and you were just okay #so you were torn into by all of them for that #and ran away because of it #and now you’ve been the makeshift doctor on a pirate crew for around a year. you’re having the best time but you still doubt your own skill #and then your captain gets kidnapped and you go after him #but you get kidnapped too. and you are put to work in the infirmary under one of the best doctors in the world #and then he compliments your work and he’s apparently hes a professional older brother and wants to mentor you and and and uhhhhhg #anyway Deuce’s lil sarcasm shell is very fragile and I feel like one genuine compliment could make him break down #one piece fanart #my art #op deuce #one piece deuce #marco one piece #haruta one piece #novel ace #ace novel one piece #one piece comic #digital fanart #digital sketch #art #sketch

you know im thinking. im thinking maybe Yoichi wasn't even that into captain hero as an adult, but AfO kept bringing LITERALLY every conversation back to that because he decided to Be The Demon Lord and so Yoichi like, can't get an argument in unless he uses the same material so he's like 'oh my god i haven't even thought about that comic in ten years but even i know the bad guy didn't win. you should not be basing you whole identity, business model, and world destruction plan on your five-second impression of a comic book bad guy who didn't even win! also you shouldn't kill people!'

#AfO has a very flat picture of Yoichi in his head #His Possession. Weak and small. and taught him language reading and socialization with Captain Hero #he's THORS POPTARTS-ing his own brother in his memories #what sort of art styles did yoichi like? how did he interact with gender? did he like his eyes or did he wish they were different? was he a #morning person or a night person? were there clothing textures he loved or couldn't stand? did he like to collect feathers or leaves? did h #ever pick up any sense of religious knowledge from his assorted readings? cultural identity? did he learn how to cook in theory but never #had the materials to practice? or did he cook once they were older as AfO sort of internalized that as yoichi's subservient role? #or did he make absolute monstrosities when he attempted to bake anything? #We dont know because all we see of Yoichi is: #his brother's memories of him. could be flanderization for all we know #and an imprint of Yoichi in ofa #who by necessity has to be focused on his brother #we'll never get to see the whole picture of the dead holders. they're dead. and we can't change that. can't know their vibrant lives #so yeah lets see. a five+one fic about yoichi's changing relationship with media property captain hero over time in his life and death #compared to afo's static impression of yoichi's relationship / afo's own unchanging relationship with it #hmmmm

I’m back with niche souyo content (tsuritama roleswap au)

#oof my art i guess #persona 4 #carissa speaks #yu narukami #yosuke hanamura #teddie persona 4 #souyo #tsuritama #I need you all to understand the vision #protagonist yosuke moves to small town and promptly meets teddie who moves in with him #yu has lived in the town his whole life with the dojimas but bc he’s not the protag he doesn’t have any social links #so he’s emptiness leaning #he works at junes in the outdoors section #and he can fish #my god he can fish #teddie power of friendships yu and yosuke into fishing together #and they help each other open up and stuff #also teddie is an alien and they have to save the world (through fishing!) but that’s basically the plot of p4 anyway so #I’m normal as you can see #akira kurusu is also possibly there #there’s a duck #10/10 go watch tsuritama it’s a very very fun time #this drawing was truly for me and just for me but I like how it turned out so y’all can have it as a treat #I love a lil screencap redraw I rlly do

youre not allowed to b a freak loser loner anymore or at least youre not allowed to mention it lol. even like five years ago you could talk about being awkward and socially weird around meeting new people but now if you do that eveeryones like "ok edgelord you are deliberately cutting yourself off from community why are you so obsessed with being alone. you all need to go outside and make real friends you are too online." which like yes obviously but why is eveyrone acting like the only two options are you either a) have a load of friends or b) you don't want them??? it is so weird. to be seen trying & failing has become so taboo that people assume if you're alone it's because you want to be and youre trying to be cool & aloof or else you see things like small talk or reaching out to people as "emotional labour" and choose not to do them. like i am not fucking choosing not to do them i literally try to do them every day and find it very hard and then you tell me i can't even joke about that struggle or being a lonely friendless loser to maybe for one second make light of the bottomless pit of disconnect + loneliness i experience every day without someone blaming me for not putting myself out there. idk

#as i'm typing this i'mrealising maybe this is an autism problem. like to feel completely separated from the social world by this pane of #thick glass your whole life and then to hear people say it's a you problem that you need to fix if you don't want to be alone forever #idk just that post going around about small talk 'i have social anxiety' 'then suck it up and learn how to interact with people!' like?? #arent we trying to do that already??? i'm sorry that being percieved as a social reject freak my whole life might have negatively affected #my ability to reach out to people? it just feels mean spirited lol. idk. anyway

[spitblaze]

You know I probably would have figured out something was up with me genderwise sooner if people assigned female at birth were not conditioned from a young age to absolutely loathe their bodies in order to sell beauty products and diets and unattainable standards

#spitblaze says things #very hard to recognize that the background radiation in ur life is dysphoria under the unrelenting pressure of societal misogyny!!! #like i understand where some people are coming from when they say that transmascs are only transitioning to escape misogyny #which like. fuckin hell i WISH that worked. this shit is inescapable #but also we arent transitioning because of misogyny. were transitioning in spite of it #the entire point of misogyny is to keep Those Who Are Not Men in line #im not 'escaping misogyny' any more than the lesbians who refuse to style themselves to heteronormative tastes #'yeah but passing trans men get male privilege' yea maybe socially. and its not like im fuckin asking for it. i dont want this shit #you think i asked for that shit?? you think stealth and passing transmascs dont push back against misogyny and patriarchy??? #weve been on the other side. we know what its like #obvs theres gonna be shitty individuals but if ur letting like three or four dudes shape ur perception of a whole group thats another issue #got off track there but i suppose thats what the notes are for #anyway te/-rfs. die. womanhood is not defined by suffering and you’re all defeatest reactionary shitheads

parents of disabled kids will be like “we know our kid is disabled but we just won’t tell them about it. we don’t want them to think they’re less valuable than other kids. we don’t want them to feel limited by their disability, we want them to know they’re capable of anything.”

meanwhile those kids are growing up thinking “why is everything so much harder for me than it is for everyone else? there’s no reason i shouldn’t be able to just do this. i guess i’m just a failed, broken person.”

#text post #ableism #like if you don’t want to get your kid diagnosed with something then that’s one thing #but not KNOWING what’s wrong with them isn’t gonna make the problem just magically disappear #and just personally speaking. SO MANY things i do that i used to feel such deep shame about? #i now realize they were because i’m autistic #the meltdowns the social awkwardness etc #and i feel so much better to know i wasn’t just being whiny or difficult or weird for no reason #i feel like my whole life i’ve been gaslighted into not knowing what i really feel #because everyone always told me i was being ‘dramatic’ or ‘too sensitive’ and eventually i decided they must be right #so now i literally can’t tell what i’m feeling sometimes #because i dismiss my own feelings as stupid and wrong

I just start a new account, doing the archon quest again, And I FINALLY See it.

do you crave to be home playing with your sims while you’re out or are you normal

#ugh i’ve been out all day 😭 #i had to sit through a two and a half hour marvel movie (actual hell) (for me) #it was my husbands work thing and it was free as the whole company went and then we had lunch after and omg bro #i can’t socialize for the rest of the week actually. i’m tired. overly stimulated as heck. #being a naturally quiet and shy person with anxiety is hard when you’re surrounded by outgoing extroverts for hours lol #anyway. i’m in the car going home now. i just want to work on my sims story 🫠 #it’s just hard choosing to be out on a weekend when it’s where most my free time is lmao like. huh i could be playing sims rn #oh being an adult and having hobbies and a social life and work is hard

[tehnakki]

I'm getting reaaaaal tired of online queer spaces where everything turns into a fight about phrasing and assuming everyone is out to get you.

Especially as Google has gotten SO SHITTY and so trying to Google things for yourself often ends up with a biased/awful answer. So how can we expect people to do their own research and then be mad at them when they come to the wrong conclusions?

#this is a bluesky subskeet #honestly #the more time i spend in real life queer spaces the less patience i have for social media as a whole #tumblr will forever be my doom scrolling love #hellsite (affectionate) #but twitter and all it's replacements are going to completely lose me soon

“cecil is a lovable dumbass” he is NOT a dumbass, he just struggles picking up on social cues and forgets that he isn’t actually talking to a virtual diary when he’s on the air

#look i KNOW he’s SO bad at maintaining confidentiality #but i dont think it’s bc he’s a dumbass #he just forgets that he promised he wouldn’t say anything until it’s already out #and he made all those tapes of himself when he was a kid #so his whole life is basically tied to the radio show #i also kinda think it’s commentary on social media #there’s been a lot of pent up grief and other emotions in cecil #which can lead to overbroadcasting your life sometimes in order to cope #that or nobody actually listens to the show LMAO #so cecil just talks into thin air inconsequentially #cecil palmer #welcome to night vale #wtnv

[king-wilhelm]

For the love of all that is holy, it is physically painful to watch percy come to a sensible conclusion and then feel dumb for realizing that he's late to the party because the no one's telling him anything. Start giving him the whole story instead of giving him the side eye. Goddamn.

#I'm sorry I'm sorry it's just. #Annabeth and grover are kids too but that look they shared? I've been given that look my whole goddamn life #Now I have trouble voicing opinions what if someone side eyes me again and suddenly I'm 12 again and socializing is a fckn nightmare #Oh I thought it was obvious. No no it's not shut up shut upppp #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo series #pjo tv show #pjo disney+ #walker scobell

i think i officially set my sights on a therapist and i'll be contacting her very soon?? therapy was legitimately not on my 2024 bingo card (or in the cards for me at all) but here we are????

#this blog always had a focus on social science and detangling feelings and experiences. like it's basically been serving as my diary #bc this blog has always been my main outlet for it. i hate talking feelings to anyone irl. it's a bad habit but i hate it #so it was a game changer and helped me grow up sooo much. esp supplemented w other people's experiences. #being raised by a stoic engineer mother who's very much warm but also not very good at feelings at times has caused me to suppress SO much #compounded w being the eldest daughter. like that is a damning sentence in and of itself #tumblr just gave me an outlet for stuff like this. and every social media is essentially a highlight reel of ppl's best moments. #tumblr is the opposite. i've always loved that too whether it was in the form of humor or more earnest posts #could i work through my own issues by myself? yes probably #and my blog will always have that facet even if i get a therapist #but a therapist's input. just a professional's input. will expedite a lot of improvement for me i think #this has been a critical time period for me anyway bc i'm budgeting my whole schedule for once vs being handheld by uni deadlines #and it's just gonna keep getting more and more intense from here bc i'm truly pushing my comfort zone more than ever before #it just feels like the right call even tho i'm lowkey nervous ab it bc i HATE talking feelings in person. #this therapist will not fall for my trying to deflect by asking her about her life. which. usually works on my friends <3 #we will see. a therapy arc is coming very soon basically #p
