And then everyone is so nice to me when I do come in and it makes me want to try to come in a little more often.
Me: socialization good, I should go to the office more often
Also me: why the hell did I agree to this?

The thing is that I don't want to be employed but I also don't want to be unemployed. I actually want our entire economic system to explode but that's not really a feasible option right now

I fucking hate when people say stuff like this. Especially when it's on a generally good post with valuable information. On the one hand I want to share that information because it could genuinely help someone; on the other, I don't want to spread this type of guilt-tripping and shaming and potentially trigger someone else like me. It's a lose-lose situation. No matter what I do, I am going to feel guilty. No matter what I do, I will feel like a terrible person. It sucks and I just wish people would stop doing this. I know it's shocking, but it is actually possible to make an important and useful post without guilting everyone that sees it into sharing.

B'Elanna... I cry.... the most underrated character on the show, and it's a tragedy
I've said it before and I'll say it again... walking poster child for C-PTSD
I hate that they wrote her anger issues off as just "her Klingon half". Like, her anger issues make MORE sense as being a result of her clearly unresolved trauma. There was so much emotional depth to her character, and that's why I'm so obsessed with her.
And also... they gave this character these intense emotional issues, and then put the actress in make-up that completely prevented her from moving her eyebrows, which hinders her ability to fully show emotions on her face... I feel like it makes B'Elanna seem completely detached sometimes, when that's like... the opposite of how she is.
ALSO, she's talking about how the Maquis is the only family she's really ever had, and it's kind of sad when you think how she's not only separated from them by distance, but she was also forced to assimilate into a world she didn't want to be part of. She doesn't even get to dress like a Maquis anymore. She basically lost her identity when she was separated from the Maquis, and now she's trying to fit into a world she doesn't belong to, which when you think about it, is how her entire life has been... she didn't fit in on her home planet of Kessik IV, because she was half-Klingon in a colony of humans. She didn't fit in on Qonos because she was half-human on a planet full of Klingons. She didn't fit in at Starfleet Academy (and, while I don't know if it's canon or not, and I've never bothered to check, but it's likely that she's only the second Klingon ever to even try. Worf became a Starfleet officer, but Worf was raised by humans. B'Elanna was raised on the Klingon homeworld from the age of 5, where her mother tried to force her to be a Klingon warrior, and pulled her out of the Federation school to put her in a Klingon monastery. It's not surprising she couldn't make it through Starfleet Academy. She wasn't prepared for it. She was smart enough, but couldn't conform to their standards).
And now here she is, someplace else she didn't ask to be, and where she doesn't really fit in. Like, it's no wonder she is so angry all the time.
It's also why I love Barge of the Dead so much. It's just a testament to how much she grows over the course of the series, and how she truly does bond with these people, against all odds.
gah I just love her so much.

we lost our way when we started having discourse justifying shipping aroace characters with "ace people can still have sex/aros can still date", instead of using it as evidence to hc characters who aren't canonically aspec and who date and have sex, as aro/ace.
scraping the bottom of the barrel for characters who don't express interest in dating? no, i'm coming for your ladies' men and your sluts, your suave and sexy sweet talkers, your femme fatales and your serial monogamists.
aroaces you must liberate yourselves, break free of the shackles of that one canon aroace, you don't need them. sick of people shipping your fave canon aroace? their fave is aroace now. want more sex/romance favourable aroace rep? this works for that too! there are literally no downsides

The thing about Cottagecore is that is a fetishized aesthetic of country life, divorced from labor and idealized by a primarily urban audience with a backward looking ethos of tradition. They are not prepared for the stresses of a rural life: farming; harvesting; tapping pumpkins to ensure none of them have been replaced with flesh; losing out on income by having to use one of your pigs in a blood sacrifice to paint protective sigils over your doors and windows; checking cracks and chimneys for the flesh-vines of the Pumpkin Lord; having to decide, before the Growth is complete, whether that's really your tradwife or an amassment of vines, leaves, and blood in the shape of your tradwife; ignoring their desperate pleas that "I'm me! No! No!" as you burn them alive, realizing too late you picked wrong; and the exploitative corporate nature of commercial farming in 2024. All seen through a deeply colonial lens, of course

if you’re a new tumblr user from tiktok or IG or something and only like posts and dont reblog them yeah people will think you’re a bot and block you but you will also make this website actively worse. they want “algorithmic” users like you, served recommended posts through likes, not people who just follow each other and respond to the direct chronological feed. there is a reason this website is still better than the rest, even with all its problems, do not ruin this
