I wonder how Cate will rationalise this.

She’s now gonna be praised as the person who saved the campus from supes. Essentially becoming the antithesis of her philosophy - a good little soldier who prioritises shareholders over students.

Now, Marie and all of them, who attempted to fix Cate’s mess (and yes, Cate flying off the handle instead of oh idk maybe PLANNING something is a total mess, and if she HAD planned something I think Marie and then would’ve easily been on her side, since they were all already anti-the woods), are being viewed as murderers. It’ll be interesting to see them experience the kind of evil that Vought actually is, and maybe align their current “no rebellion if it’s violent” beliefs more w/ Cate’s “all resistance is justified”. Not totally with Cate, just more.

(Though, the writers have established that Marie & Co. are actually fine w/ self defense murder so idk)

Cate is now in the possession of Homelander and I know some ppl are big mad that the White Kids are getting praise for what the POC Kids actually did, but I’m prettyyyy sure that’s the whole commentary. Incl. Homelander’s! He’s also a racist!

Homelander Will Obvs try to align Sam and Cate w/ his beliefs, grossly misunderstanding that both Sam and Cate were being reactionary - even from Cate and Marie’s short convo, it was clear Cate was a bit unnerved with how quickly things got out of hand, what with Marie being sent to kill her. Her response being a confused and frustrated “well what can we do NOW? They want us both DEAD” is evidence to me that she may be dialed back to a more feasible rebellion strategy.

I see a lot of ppl saying that Cate’s been vilified for wanting freedom but I don’t see it ? Like, it’s one thing to free all the kids in the Woods, and maybe enact violence if there’s resistance there, but Cate has the unique ability to make sure nobody is violent. In fact, she has the ability to just go around and change every single bad person’s mind about being bad. Instead. She chose punishment. She could’ve dialed back all those freshly freed torture victims emotions to a manageable place. Marie & Co aren’t against freeing ppl, but they ARE against being reckless about it. For all Cate and Sam knew, those kids could’ve been violent to “innocent” ppl too (in quotes bc they were, just not in Cate and Sam’s eyes).

#I still think Cate aligns with magneto #I think ppl forget magneto was a supremacist #he literally gave We Are The Next Evolution #speeches all the time #and has attempted to murder non mutants A Lot #and not just ones that were after him #at least in the films #idk if comics magneto was more chill #magneto was a Zionist guys #just his Zionism was for mutants #gen v #this whole post is a ramble #prime

lowkey sometimes when ppl write steve as being entirely oblivious to being gay/into men it feels like an extension of them thinking he's an idiot. idk sometimes there's just weird vibes, like ppl are saying "he's so stupid that he doesn't even understand himself" especially when like everyone else "already knows" because he's being "so obvious."

not always though! and also like i totally get that sexuality & identity can be VERY confusing sometimes (god knows it was for me lol), and i absolutely support ppl who are writing about their own experiences! <3

idk idk...just thoughts lol

honestly i didn't even really think of this in full fruition like that omg ur right... even outside of like writing or anything like, with any characterisation of him.. i dunno UGH people will like absolutely refuse to conceptualise that he is allowed to be an authority of his own identity and isn't some lost baby lamb who needs to have someone tell him what being bisexual or liking men is or something LOL... like i think he knows actually. it just comes off demeaning :( like i understand the trope (?) and i can even see the appeal in it but when it's all that's around it's just like DUDE. especially when poor fucking robin is carted around as the Gay mother i mean Icon who has to tell him everything about everything let alone if it's one of the kids or something 😭 like can we please think for two seconds robin hasn't even SAID the word lesbian do you really think she has in-depth knowledge on what like, flagging is in that specific area of indiana alone. if steve is oblivious to lgbt culture she is ALSO oblivious she didn't get a handbook in the mail just bc she's out to someone now she's probably got like 2 falling apart zines and a library book shoved in a shoebox or something. They're literally performing the age old ritual of whispering in their bedrooms about random shit they overhear to make fun of it and theorising on which celebrities they think are gay Together.

and of course !!! OF COURSE it's totally understandable to choose to portray any sort of hesitance or confusion or anything to do with internalised homophobia, everything that is complicated to do with your own identity which is constantly shifting and changing especially if it's coinciding with big life evolutions and events like steve's is and being able to relate to that OF COURSE and that's not what i (or you obv) mean and i think it could be a really meaningful thing to explore absolutely but honestly and ofc i'm just assuming here ARE people exploring it meaningfully or are they using it as this almost like ? comedic thing?? poor steve oh he's so silly i mean confused i mean Thinks he's straight... like there's no actual gravity there it's just a gimmick to make him look silly 😭. i also love conveniently that funnily enough their little boobies convo was actually steve trying to convince robin vickie DOES like boobies in conjunction with the knowledge that she has a boyfriend and that You Can Like Both and robin is the one who's like noooo she's not GAY she has a BOYFRIEND see. i also think that's so funny steve just goes around telling robin Hey... that girl could be bisexual you never know :) and she's like shut up

i also think the basis of what a lot of the more light hearted side of this . Thing is . is actually still like funny/cute/what ppl r actually meaning to portray, which is like steve not REALISING he has a crush on a guy he just thinks it's normal. or he's going insane or something. and that can be shown in a multitude of ways and not just "he doesn't realise gay people exist" or he doesn't Know about bisexuality. somehow. or that he's dumb. realising u have feelings for someone is such a universal thing :) if anything i think he'd more be like "i know about bisexuals!!!! i love gay people I LOVE GAY PEOPLE!!! i didn't know i could BE ONE!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS ONLY FOR THEM!!" which feels more realistic and is also 100% how i felt when i was younger LOL.

i also just think it's cute if he's like Ugh i fucking hate being around this guy he makes me feel nervous and i don't know what to say and i always can feel all my clothes on every part of my body i think i might hate him :( maybe i'm sick :( like that's so fucking funny + sweet and not tied up in the assumption that he is too stupid to understand anything let alone his own feelings. he is literally one of the most emotionally .. advanced? socially smart people in the ENTIRE show he is incredibly emotionally intelligent especially about himself, i think once he would HAVE a feelings OR identity realisation of some kind he would know exactly what to do just like we've seen in show. he goes for it!!!! he's very very confident romantically!!! he spends like 90% of all his screentime showcasing this i think he's in tune enough with his emotions for ALL OF THIS TO COEXIST...

and that is also possibly now that i think about it why a trope like this is so prevalent bc seeing him be unsure/not confident and flipping his world upside down (lol) or Crisis Occuring is very different for his character and therefore interesting to explore hm.. but when it's shown as something unserious or comedic it becomes unintentionally mocking or just like. painful. ALONG WITH how it seems to be this same old storyline with a clear sighted arc (i'm totally straight -> maybe not -> omg i'm gay -> crisis -> crisis averted -> within one week gay married) when, i think, a lot of the potential interest there IS, for EXAMPLE, exploring how his self esteem is tied into his ability to be a serial dater, which is tied into his appearance and everything that makes him Him, is tied into his own self-projected only "success" in life is getting girls and being good at it. and like, how being unaware that he has his entire life liked a whole other gender and maybe even ONLY that other gender is incredibly disorientating for his own sense of self, the internal battle of having to come to terms with your internal worldview shifting without you being aware (in a way that isn't condescending) and him ultimately realising he is still the same person just PLUS, and is quote unquote allowed to feel the way he does. despite it all. and how opening himself up to this possibility NOW is actually a deeply important thing because he might be realising Oh god, maybe it WAS all some sort of act before now, and then dissecting that THAT isn't true either and genuine emotion does not beget intention, or something. and also how a shift in your identify is not just a bam bam bam 1 2 3 sequence of events and trying to coalesce all that into a 3 score narrative is like potentially recipe for disaster ANYWAY. it's a long complicated process that is 99% behind the scenes and over time and how ALL OF THAT, importantly, coincides with his own character and how HE would act and what choices HE would make because we KNOW how he acts in the face of crisis, of any kind, and we also know the absolute truth of that he deserves to have SOME sort of emotional catharsis and he should be allowed to address his own issues internal or otherwise. and how being gay changes everything but also changes nothing and how hailing himself as a Guy Who Loves, WHOLEY and fully and with everything he's got, does not mean he is an awful person just because the love is different or different NOW or maybe just to the left. but it's all a balancing act i suppose and everyone has their own um. interpretation.

basically yes it's very interesting how steve of all characters gets a certain kind of treatment like this when we know without a shadow of a doubt he is the one who turns up confidentally with roses and the only place he is so confident is with emotion and knowing exactly what he wants. and how interesting it would be to think about a guy like that going through a fundamental shaking of the foundations because what he wants has changed. and even now so long after his split with nancy he is on such uncertain terms with his own like, heart, and he can't seem to trust himself to move on, which is for a REASON. and i don't think that reason is He still fully, properly loves nancy, romantically. i also think it's funny when people do the "everybody knows" thing because that's literally not how anything in life works even a little bit at least with something both below the surface and so intrinsic like IDENTITY like lol if he doesn't know then you don't.

#asks #i think this is like a thousand words my bad guys #THANK YOU. for making me think of this Very interesting.... once again i must extract him from certain narratives lest i wither away #sts

disclaimer that im not asian but as a fellow poc i’ve kind of had an observation that when it comes to feeling connected with ur cultural background , how u r raised, the environment u r raised in, and one’s willingness to delve into their culture plays a big part in that connection ! but in media it’s like boring lol versus irl

like this might be obv or whatever but atp in media we consume the whole not feeling connected storyline or whitewashed characters has been really overused ? idk if that makes sense bcs i too am built different 😭 and it’s high time we move on as a ppl

yeah like on one hand i feel bad for not being able to sympathize but on the other i also think i would be able to sympathize more were a lot of these narratives actually possessive of characters who feel like real people. using past lives as an example since it's what prompted this thought but my primary issue with the film is that none of the characters felt like actual people. they were caricatures at best with no substantial interiority and the appeal of the film was more in the ideas it espoused than necessarily any connection the audience might have had to the characters. it's "easy" to make a film about lost love and regrets and disconnection and diasporic guilt. what's hard is to make a film about those things that is unique. in that sense i think a film like everything everywhere all at once managed to slip by because the sci-fi element was unique. but i don't think the characters themselves were unique at all and it once again felt symptomatic of cultural trope storytelling. i know a lot of people value relatability in media and that seems to be the main reason why the latter film was so popular. it resonated with people. but i don't want to just resonate with a story. i want to grow attached to idiosyncratic characters possessive of their own world and mannerisms and story to tell that is distinct even within a recognized cultural experience. and frankly speaking i get that way more from homeland media than i do diaspora media

LOL!!! Just found the post about people born in the 70's and 80's having fundamental flaws. You aren't far from the truth. I think part of it was the society we came up in, part of that is because we never learned the proper ways to deal with that trauma. But now we are opening up about what f-ed up things make us tick. We need help. We need people in our lives who understand how to process emotions. We need people to show us we are loved unconditionally. So many of us are truly just scared, scared and scarred animals.

yeah all my posts taking the piss out of any generation are just a laugh at my own experiences but i totally get what you’re saying! i actually find the perception of personal problems between boomers to gen x to millennials to be rly interesting (disclaimer for mega generalisations obv). bc boomers will be like genuinely awful to people and believe they are 100% in the right and never admit they ever need to improve on anything in a million years. millennials rly feel like the first generation to ~normalise~ actually talking about mental health and going to therapy. but a lot of gen x ppl ive encountered are in this weird middle ground where they’re not doing well, they know they’re not doing well, but they just never ever do anything about it and resign themselves to being miserable forever like some sort of depressed anime mc lmao. literally the word therapy is a jumpscare for them. idk it’s both sad and frustrating to watch :(

#leaving out gen z bc a lot of them are still teens #but as a late 90s cusp most of the adult gen z i know are the same as millennials in this sense #asky ask

do YOU want to hear about my hrsg notes? well u don’t get a choice. here

florian notes first. he’s from galar! obviously. but did u know that they’re cousins with elio (protag from pkmn sun in alola)? both of his alolan regional pokemon (ninetails and raichu) were caught there when he went to visit his cousins a few years before he moved to paldea

also his raichu is shiny. because i have a shiny alolan raichu named hersey.

florian is also very well known as like. That Guy that shows up whenever and usually in the weirdest places. they spend most of their time in the wild shiny hunting for pokemon (and he has a tendency to just. not check his phone at all for hours) so ppl just cannot get a hold of him unless he’s like. in the same physical space as them.

kieran is the sole exception (plus his mother) of ppl he actually responds to on time. they’re also probably the only ppl in his favorite contacts just so that he still gets their notifs when he’s on dnd (which is. all the time. shiny hunting requires a lot of focus!!)

on the topic of phones. kieran gets one. its a plot reason but he gets one eventually. he really wanted to wait until he saw florian again so he could have them as the first person in his contacts but carmine wouldnt let him (he has to contact home somehow! kieran was kinda miffed about it)

kieran’s sooo a default texter. like normal caps and autocorrect. he still spells a few things wrong but he fixed it in another msg if he can. he also doesnt msg as often since he’s not used to having a phone and generally uses it to keep in touch with his friends and family.

if kieran has any social media its def to just research the trends in the competitive scene (and most of his posts are reddit style where he does intense theorycrafting with other competitve nerds)

florian is like. ghost level texter. they will leave you on read (not actually, they turned that off so penny would stop getting mad at him for not replying for days). he’s definitely very casual regarding tone and doesn’t talk much via text. he is, however, a big fan of calls! especially calling kieran. (to no one’s surprise)

kieran is also the only one (and maybe penny. idk im still figuring out florian’s level of closeness with everyone else) that florian actually replies to in a somewhat expressive manner. when kieran shows his texts with florian to the others theyre all like. are we talking about the same person. are you sure that’s florian and not an imposter.

when florian and kieran DO get together, its as partners in a QPR! florian is an alloromantic pansexual whereas kieran is arospec (and maybe leaning towards aroflux for a specific identity. its too confusing so he just sits as an unlabeled aro guy)

they both experience romantic attraction towards each other but florian is more comfortable with it (also cuz he’s allo so. they know what romantic attraction feels like right?) kieran’s… well. its a mix of heavy platonic attachment and a lil bit of romantic attraction. he’s still very into florian obvs but he’s not entirely sure if its strictly romantic or platonic. eventually he gives up trying to figure it out and goes. i like florian. a lot. and i want to be their partner for life. that’s it

i’ve been debating on whether or not florian should also be arospec when i think about his feelings… nvm i lied. florian is really whipped, they just dont expect anything back! he’s a bit of a weird case (ig) where they definitely do have romantic feelings for kieran but they were also like. content being his friend until the end of days. they care and cherish kieran so so much but theyre also fine with loving him from the sidelines. florian has literally never considered that kieran might also like them back in a similar way (until his friends confront them and are like hey. you guys are being really gay this whole trip. like how is it obvious to everyone except us that you both like each other. what.)

i have more thoughts (sooo many) so. if u wanna hear more then pls send in an ask! or something. idk i’m like 90% sure im screaming into the void at this point

O, P, Q, for thé ask game if you dont mind me asking..

SUM OF Y'ALL PUTTIN' DA SAME LETTERS WAHHH I FEEL BAD!! alrdy answered Q so. we do a li'l scrollin?

anyway!!

O - Where would I like to travel?

travellin' (as a leisure? time? i guess) isn' smth i think ab a lot yet, save 4 in terms of immigration from. here. buuuut in my dreams really, i'd luv 2 travel 2 a few places 4 da cultural aspects.. namely ukraine, our.. half-homeland i guess, which we never actually been 2, but obviously uh. sumthin' sumthin'. nawt anytime soon, but i really wud love 2 reconnect with dat side, even if we don' have any contact with our ukrainian side of da family :[ i still want us b able 2 go there one day, specifically vinnitsa which is where our mother's side of da family was from.

apart from dat, i'd luv 2 go 2 japan — ok stay with me — but 'm deathly afraid of big cities (been 2 moscow & st petersbrug an' both times killed us badly) an' tokyo has like, da same population as moscow but much more population.. density? an' jus' seein' da amnts of ppl mkes me super nervous >_< i dream of goin' on a tour of like, shrines an' temples an' otherwise culturally significant stuff, as well as foooood. but ofc 'm willin' 2 put up with a bit of tokyo ONLY cuz of harajuku. i Will hit all da lolita stores. but really i'd luv a trip 2 japan jus' 2 experience da food & culture :3c an' i guess put our dusty musty japanese 2 da test?

nextttt morocco, ik dats.. unusual but dats where our mother's part of da family is Originally from, as they immigrated from there 2 ukraine.. (an' then our mother did, 2 russia.. gulp) an' she was born & raised in ukr, so she always kinda wanted 2 go back 2 morocco 2 at least experience it, but obv lack of funds etc. she always talkd ab it a lot an' stuff. kinda like we're the repeat of dat but with ukraine hehe? so, i wanna visit both if we ever have da chance 2.

P - What kind of music I like?

oghhhh well. bit all over da place but again do stay with me.. i think our very first music experience where we Knew wat we wer doin' & consciously wer seekin' out music 2 our taste was with the Holy Emo Trinity. yeah sorry 2 bring those memories back, none of em r even 'emo' exacly & hate bein' called it or wtv, but yeah n_n mcr, patd, fob... i think we wer into patd da most, ik i personally still am (system integration is a weird thing - i believe i merged w the previous host who was the one 2 discover all those, like, arnd the age of 11-13?).. a fever you can't sweat out (2004) by panic at the disco changed our entire life trajectory. i still have it as my #1 mika album of all time. i do have a lotta love 4 mcr too, fob we wer a bit less into, but yeah.

'm occasionally into pop-ish stuff, i like mika lots (also name twins :3), his voice & his art r spectaaaacular an' very unique an' him. he's so goodddd, his songs def helped us thru many stuffs jus' like da aforementioned bands. idk he jus' gets it, even the melancholic songs he writes (dat hit suspiciously close home >:0) r like DESIGNED 2 lift ya up i swear.

idk wat 2 define aurora as an' i wudn' really call her pop, she's a bit of her own character, especially here she's nawt exacly well known at all, but yeah i had 2 mention her. i don' think i ever connected with an artist on a deeper level than it was with her, largely due 2 her also bein' on da spectrum (it wasn' clear if she's adhd or asd but hey i can diagnose her.), like i see myself in her thoughts an' behaviors so much, da way she talks an' carries herself an' expresses herself in the art she creates. i genuinely Have Feelings 4 her she's so beautiful an' i can't stswp bein' obsessed w her & her music. da stories she weaves & da way she puts her emotions into lyrics is sooo special 'm Really happy 2 live in da same time as her. back 2 her bein' different like us, it really inspires me how unapologetically herself she is, like seein' a neurodivergent creator get Big (in sum parts of da world at least) an' thrive so visibly is astonishin'. i hope 2 attend her concerts one day :[ srry 4 da ungodly amounts of infodumpin' i doin' here but she means Dat much 2 me...

oh an' last but TOTALLY nawt least, 'm a huge goth, i luvvvv goth music so much, i guess a bit 'basic' but i really love the og styff, like siouxsie, bauhaus, the cure, joy division, sister of mercy etc.. i also luv 45 grave, the cramps, the birthday massacre, plastique noir, alien sex fiend, depeche mode, an' ugh SO much more i can't list it all 😭 i listen 2 a lotta goth is wat i can say.

oh an' 'm also a big fan of visual kei (as an extension of gothic lolita ofc...) but i mainly focus on malice mizer, as well as a few eroguro kei bands (which i rly enjoy as a genre too, who woulda thought...)

#hope ya enjoyed my shameless rambles n_n #mika asks #Uhhh uhhh i need a tag 4 ya don' i.. lemme kno wat emoji i shld put with yer name :3

it’s my fic’s birthday n i just want to take a mome to reflect on this past year of writing my cringe jthm fic because no joke it has been one of the most therapeutic and rewarding things ive ever done for myself so im gonna spill my guts under the cut here in case ur into that sorta thing

no joke i started writing ancillary auxiliary (obvs under a different much dumber name) when i was THIRTEEN. i was perpetually very very scared of and confused by my psychosis—i saw and heard things constantly that no one else did, and no one could explain that to me, which was obviously very isolating and frustrating. jthm made me feel rly normal (like not alone??) and this fic was a way for me to explore and dissect all these things i was processing and experiencing and repressing. i abandoned it like right away because i was a young teen with undiagnosed adhd but im sure it’s still kickin around on deviantart somewhere.

i have struggled w a lot through my years—addiction n subsequent withdrawal, hallucinating nonstop, uhhhh Being Trans In Society, willingly choosing to be an actor bc i am literally insane—and i felt like my brain was only getting sicker, because i never prioritized my health! none of it! but especially not my mental health!

in the isolation of quarantine a couple years ago i had like sooooooo many psychotic episodes, and eventually i admitted myself to a psych ward bc i was so scared and i just wanted to get better finally!

and i did get better! eventually!

it took a lot of hard work, and i was in outpatient for what felt like forever, and i was going to therapy twice a week and trying a bunch of meds and also just experimenting w hormones bc why not. i stopped making art (which truly truly was sometimes the only thing in my life that brought me joy) because the shit i was making was so scary, i just didn’t want to subject myself to that.

eventually i got myself a really amazing job, literally a dream job of mine, and things fell into place, and my job was my whole personality for a while. idk when it happened but sometime last summer i suddenly felt myself really wanting to read jthm again ?? i guess as i was reflecting on all my trauma, and how i used to cope w it as a kid?? but i reread director’s cut and it truly felt like someone unclogged a drain in my head and all this new inspiration and like LOVE for my past self and xir interests just rushed in and it was so exciting!!!!

and i remembered this fic i had started so long ago, and how proud i was of the concept, and i started writing it in my notes app and it got bigger and bigger and i found a little corner on instagram of ppl who liked it (thank u to those of u who are still here rn!!!!! if ur reading this ilysm) and now it’s this! and i love it!

it might just be super self indulgent at the end of the day idk but! i love everything that has come from this fic (and Other Fics i have written 👁️) and i am so grateful to all of u who have read ancaux and enjoyed it and reblogged and left comments like :) thank u so much

there are three (maybe four?) chapters left i literally didn’t anticipate this to go on for so long and i have no idea when it will end but im excited :) and i hope you’ll stick around :) the ending is rly good i think

LOVE U ALL THANKS

#ancaux #happy birthday dorter #thank u all for being so sweet im kissing u all unless u don’t want that #in that case i am nodding respectfully at u

About your post here: I’ve noticed recently a lot more posts in general on tumblr just being condescending and mean to kids for not knowing things and it annoys me too, don’t these people remember what it’s like to be a young teen and not know basically anything? Even when you’re trying to learn? How is it their fault??? So frustrating

YEAH I feel you. I didn't mention it in the og post but those posts do seem to be geared towards teens and kids more often than not I think (that's just based on personal observation tho, which is obvs biased).

As for why- tbh that's a topic I have a lot of thoughts on? Mostly baseless speculation since I have no real experience studying this kind of thing and again idk if it's even a real phenomenon or if it just feels like one to me.

Tbh one reason may be that during the pandemic, more ppl began staying inside, on screens, which meant more teens started exhibiting Chronically Online Behaviour™ (bc they literally were chronically online), which means more ppl started losing patience and being snide when trying to steer them away from such behavior (bc everyone's patience is worn thin by a pandemic!)

And like. I know we say it most often as a joke on here BUT genuinely the user base of Tumblr aging bc the ppl originally on it as teens haven't left (for good reason lol) is probably a contributing factor.

It's mostly a good thing but like you said- they genuinely might not remember much about their teen years! Or at least they don't sympathize much w/ their teenage self and that's reflected in their interaction w/ young ppl.

Ppl sometimes don't want to have to put in the extra work that comes w/ talking to someone who has considerably less life experience than you. It's understandable but sometimes ppl just get miffed abt it all.

Also like. This is a broad and complex topic so I'm going to limit myself talking abt it too much but- since early online culture and in especially in recent years, people on the internet seem genuinely think that being annoying or ignorant is truly a justification for being bullied and/or harassed.

Like it takes different forms across different groups and platforms but it's very much a part of the tone of a lot of online conversations. And I am NOT saying that well meaning but snide advice posts are the same as bullying- far from it! They're two very different things and the latter is at least well intentioned most of the time.

But I think needlessly aggressive conversations are a much bigger feature of online spaces than irl spaces and thus they slip into posts that don't even mean it/aren't even particularly invested in the topic at hand, all bc ppl perceive the target audience as ignorant or annoying.

Which isn't to say that it's not a two way street- most ppl online are like this! Oftentimes I'm like this, even when I don't mean to be! sometimes teens are ignorant or annoying and sometimes they're downright mean but. being a dick abt advice isn't going to change that. and I'd argue that normalizing being needlessly mean about innocuous topics is just gonna make them worse in the long run? So. Something something 4D chess.

And like, That's really what makes posts like that so frustrating- they want to be informative or educational but they go about it in such a counterproductive and off putting way! The accusatory tone and condescension just makes the reader defensive and unwilling to learn bc they feel attacked...when the posts entire point to be educational.

my og post wasn't phrased particularly nice either, bc I was angry and upset- and that's probably not gonna convince ppl to thoughtfully reevaluate their behavior! If I went into a post with the intention to do that I'd probably word everything differently.

Sometimes a firm hand is needed or expected when it comes to serious topics and I am NOT advocating for ppl to tone police themselves when it comes to things near and dear to them (truly hope that comes across in this post)

but if someone is complaining about how ppl use their personal blogs, navigate websites that don't work like any other current social media, or any other trivial task that doesn't come natural unless you have experience w/ it...it just feels like a waist of energy on everyone's part.

This has all been a very long winded way of saying- I totally get you and agree. it's just not productive to write out a vent-y rant on the same post as your informational guide and the frustration and embarrassment that comes from being condescended to online isn't productive either. Be mad, for sure, just don't try and teach ppl a skill or lesson while you're mad. There's a reason parents shouting at their kids during homework about how simple the problem is doesn't teach them anything.

#ramblings of a lunatic #asks #leaving this un-rebloggable for now #bc while I'm not against discussion on this post I'm not equipped to deal w/ the post leaving its bubble #and being seen by bad faith debaters who want to interpret my words as offensively as possible #I really really hope this post was clear and articulate! i put a lot of work into trying to cover all my bases and be thorough and clear-#-while still keeping this semi casual and fairly readable #could feel myself making a messy essay (a messay if you will) on this and i was like NO!!! NO WE'RE NOT DOING THIS #long post #vent #kinda? too high effort to be a True Vent but certainly petty enough

2022 overview

(istg ive been doing this for 10 years frnfiesfjeiss)

Hmmm lets see where did i start 2022

oh yeah tbh this year didnt really “start” for me until like april

because everything before april was just me working at that last stupid ass fintech

what a waste of time honestly

but i did just get paid for doing nothing LOOOL shout out to my sis?

honestly since the beginning i knew it was just a stepping stone to moving out of to into dxb altho the transition and whatever isint easy and i still dont like living here

but yeah i think i was playing guitar gyming, going through an ed ( i miss my slightly skinnier body but getting back there i think.. fml) and just idk hating work a lot

like the way i hated that job was insane if my sis wasnt there too i woulda bBEEN fired i did nothing but sit on the sofa there an browse pinterest and apply to other jobs and watch movies aoirNhaguiraehgubna

oh well tbh that whole job itself was a waste

i applied to a crazy amount of jobs and had mad interviews

then got am lol after months

shoutout to expo? lOOOL all my calls from them happened there im deaefiwfnjf

i miss expo LOL that was also a big 2022 thing

common grounds brr reading brrr

orange hair to blond hair to silver hair to platinum blonde brr to pink rip miss it kinda

my hair fried as shit

oh yeah i also went to mecca this year brrr

honestly that was an amazing experience mecca and madina was so beautiful i felt so at peace there

except for fighting the guards there cuz of the covid bullshit .. but whatev fuck em

holy shit actually this year was a lot

i prayed there cleansed myself etc etc

then i came back and i got a job at am LOOL

then i went to cali LOOOL

which was a ego death existential crisis of its own

my whole life i dreamed of cali / LA and then hated it?

but also i realized yeah i really need to drive to survive in america

which kinda made me hate it lol

venice beach was rlly nice like cali beaches r beautiful

but like i envisioned it i went there alone and then felt hella unsafe the whole night there

im sorry but it is not the 80s anymore 😭? lMFAOO OBV mfs were on DRUGS

smh

i saw jana there! that was cool also finally went to astro burger and fairfax

thrifting there was ass

overall LA dissapointed me but i got high and ate good mochi which was cool

OHH also i went to smokers club fest which was like the best music festival i ever been to

THE WAY I MANIFESTED THAT LMFAOOO I USED MY fintech MONEY TO GO THERE LOOOOOL

also i guess shoutout to nadim for coming and basically driving me / us there cuz honestly if he didnt idk how the hell i woulda got there / back

but LMFAO BRR SUCCESSFUL TRIP

oh wait i forgot so yeah after my 16 hour flight and hours of walking around dt LA then to venice and walking all of venice someone tried to rob me at like 11 pm on the LA metro nice! nice! i was also high as shit! nice ! nice! lMAOFEFKEROPIGJERIS

good thing im a very good high functioning stoner? also my phone was plugged into my powerbank so my phone just went flying out both our hands and i just picked it up IGOT SO LUCKYY LMGOOOO WITHOUT IT IWOULDA BEEN FUCKEDDD imagine all the pics i woulda lost omfg naiufhrguiherguerh anywho thank god i didnt lose it kgriojgsrigjsr

i didnt even see the guy at all omg egroghtiughrtjg

anyways after that i finally saw zaina after like 4 years in sf

i guess sf was cool like it was normal majority of it i was just w zaina then could only go to the city w nada

i mean honestly travelling and doing things is alone is always kinda like.. whats the point? but i dont think sf or LA are good for solo travel?LOOL

but i guess that confirms i dont want to live in cali? i liked the nature and ppl there but uhhh idk maybe if i drived? idk fuck us lol

im just happy i got to go to smokers fest lol

anywho i came back and then moved into my new place in ad and started working at am

actually technically my first am meeting was in sf at like 4 am and i slept through it lMFAEOFJREIFJ

but yeah then i started working at am

i met that dumbass who i worked w for like 6 FUCKING MONTHS dealing w her ass and babysitting her dumb ass

i didnt even kno she would be there but whatever

i tried to b cool w her but on god ive never met a more stupid human ever

thank god i have a brain and im cultured and have critical thinking skills like THANK GOD IM ME

then the whole j shit happened honestly dont want to talk or think about it anymore

tldr is i was mad lonely and its been so long since i talked to a guy that was a dumbass misogynist arab that the second i did i wasl like oooo

and the fact that ivana also described him didnt help fueled my delusions

even tho she said it wasnt him i didnt care cuz im a dumbass

then that actual dumbass fueled me more

but honestly shout out to me telling her about ivana cuz if i didnt she wouldnt have led herself to her downfall which meant i woulda had to keep working w her lMFAOOO she stressed me the hell out on god

but yeah anyways honestly all that was just bullshit im just sick an tired over the gl shit

unfortunately all that delusion and bs made 2022 a horrible fucking year cuz i was mentally stressed and depressed and having breakdowns left and right

but at the same time made me rlly passionate for work which helped me pass my probation w flying colours

now the mf think we cool when i highkey HATE his ass now

seriously drained the fuck out me after all that bullshit im like a somber dead zombie now

never NEVER i deadass 10000000 mean it this time am i ever going crazy over someone ever again

gl better love me and reciprocate or NOTHING im not sacrificing myself ever again FUCK no

also worst bday of my life seriously unless i DIE theres no way my future bdays can be as bad as i spent the one this year

it literally makes my blood boil because i did not deserve that

basically after may my whole life became work and it was horrible i had ppl messaging me and irl asking me if i was okay like it was a complete 180 from yp i did nothing in that job to fucking EVERYTHING LIFE CONSUMING BULLSHIT in this one

hence why im now over all this bs and over working and over extending myself for this job , once 5 pm hits BYE also not working extra or more than i have to fuck yall this is just one job im still young i got my whole future ahead of me

work smarter not harder is my moto end of the day i get my money i get my exp and we go up this isint my end all and i can ALWAYS do better

not saying im not grateful for this job i rlly am but the way i approach it now is gunna be mad different in 2023 cuz i cant do that shit to myself again

but since im 10000000% over that bitch it should be easier

now my focus is just to do the shit i need to do work on mysself and personal goals, manage the mf i need to manage and travel

which is another thing shout out to them for all the travel i did this year lMFAOO

like yeah my bday sucked ass but right after i got sent to helsinki which i loved moomin world brrr

then i went to copenhagen to see amin e and i love denmark too

except for throwing up before my flight to london hmmm

then i went to london which was fire i missed that city its like a european ? british ? toronto LMFAO but cooler imo less shittier weather

chilled w p and k

european loud is weird lol

i saw j there and was ocnfused as to why i felt nothing yeah no SHIT bitch the mf ugly and boring as hell

really need to constantly remind myself who the FUCK i am and what im capable of omfg

the way my confidence and self-esteemed dropped this year

now i have no energy for none of that i just dont give a fuck about nothing anymore

being in london was coo w money tho ugh shout out to having funds

RECORD SHOPPING SEATTLE WAS INSANE

london and copenhagen thrifting was IT and so was record shopping

but seattle was x10 better jfc

i think i have almost all records i want? except for a few but ill get the rest this year i guess

after seattle or i guess during idk that dumbass got fired brr karma

went rogue on events still sends me 😭😭😭😭 mf if only u KNEW

i think at that point i was just exhausted like from travel and what not i just wanted to stay at home and gym

too much travel = i was eating weird and not gyming so idk

im getting back on track now but smh

i read a lot this year which was good

movies was okay

z came too but honestly meh .. lol ? the d apple picking thing cheeses me out but whatever

like how u actively friends w someone who shits on me and then go on smthing that was our thing w them?

so done w bum ass canada honestly no intention of going back there at all

another thing to like im kinda over all my canada friends like yeah yall are still my friends but i dont care anymore im not letting the past drag me back

im just not allowing myself to suffer anymore

hmm wat. else

yeah idk this year was just swallowed by work

sole was ass met amine felt ass about it

i need to do something w myself that i genuinely gaf i need to put myself out there more

i need saturn to move the FUCK out of aquarius that what the fuck ineed

now that that bitch is starting to move im already starting to feel better

but now i gotta wait styll until fucking march for that sooo

overall like hard ass year high high and low lows

im still grateful for myself + life and happy i get to save money and make money and gain experience and travel

starting college in a week; any tips babe?

i am not great w advice bc i have terrible habits but here r a couple:

1. do NOT take an 8am class u may think u can handle it but trust me u can’t. took one my first semester freshman yr and never did again. exception being if u regularly get up b4 8am obvs but otherwise don’t lol

2. do not b afraid to go to office hrs w ur professors i found the idea v intimidating but i always had a great experience whenever i went ESP if u have questions but also if u just want to chat abt the topics in the class or anything. but it’s great to have connections w a few professors if u need rec letters for internships or grad school later on

3. do ur readings for ur classes idk ur work ethic but i never did any readings in high school but u have to do them in college. depends on the class but if ur professor doesn’t say that exams r only on lectures then u should 100% do readings

4. take advantage of how many classes r available & take ones that r interesting to u. i had a lot of times where i held off getting a certain credit done just bc i wanted to be able to take a specific course and it was always worth it. taking classes that u actually enjoy always made it way easier 4 me personally

5. if u know my personal history w roommates u will probably laugh at this advice but. if u r having any issues w ur roommate (if u even have one) u should try talking to them bc having to live in a space where there r issues is just not good for ur mental health/education trust me 😩 but it can be easy to let small issues w a roommate build up just from living together in a small space so if u actually try and communicate w each other it goes a long way

6. i said this in answer to an ask yesterday but fr dont b afraid to talk to ppl. as freshmen u r all in a brand new place and likely alone for the first time so everyone is trying to make friends. if u get to know enough ppl u will hit it off w someone eventually lol 🙏

that is all i can think of off the top of my head & hopefully it is at least somewhat helpful but let me know if u have more specific things u want tips on & i will try my best. wishing u luck tho hope u have a great first semester ❤️

#this is mostly based off the things that i should have done that i didn’t. bc i have bad habits. lol #anonymous #ask //

no you’re so right for that, op was honestly being rude and probably didn’t expect you to see it (altho i see that they did tag it as sunny so maybe they just don’t care). when i started out, the ppl of this fandom have always been so unapologetically vocal abt their theories and interpretations, and it was so welcoming to me to see that everyone was having fun rambling into the void, knowing that we care enough abt each others’ ideas that even if we don’t always agree, we Get it. like that’s what sunnblr is for, pardon the brainrot but it comes with the territory. you were one of my first (and also only lol) sunny mutuals and i know for a fact i didn’t used to share my thoughts the way i do now before following ppl like you. PLEASE keep rambling, it is good for the soul

thank u Danny!! 🐀💘

it means a lot more to me that I have had that kind of impact where anyone feels more unapologetic n enthusiastic abt talking abt their interests n interpretations n theories! cuz I care so deeply abt that n think (esp cuz this is a space all about enthusiasm n hobbies) it is so fun to hav a place where ppl can do that!! (obv we should be mindful depending on subject matter, but just general rambling abt shit is, as u said, good for the soul 😌😌) U are also just such a creative person n i rlly admire yr style n yr skill u are just so thoughtful and intelligent so u Should be so loud n proud abt those things!! u are such a treasure n ily!!

I hold no grudge against op, cuz i do recognize this kind of thing is just apart of a larger pattern I’ve seen forever since using the internet where a lot of the internet likes to preach abt de-stigmatization n mental health awareness… but unfortunately the internet doesn’t rlly create platforms that are conducive to actually keeping that kind of thing in mind and practicing it effectively. ik that most times (since this is a problem that started in the real world n sure as hell hasnt been solved any better lmao), that unless you are just experiencing palatable symptoms like depression or anxiety… u are opening yrself up to that kind of thing, n i know that just comes with the territory of being mentally ill and havin any public account. im sure its even somewhere in the fine print of the terms n conditions that no one ever reads LOL. i try to brush it off, but it is still hurtful sometimes and so that’s why I left that reply to just explain where i’m coming from and why i left those tags in the first place. cuz again they dont know me and idk them so its not anything personal! but again ik thats sorta the game u play when u post anything yknow? like for all anonymity’s benefits, there are cons like ppl don’t Know i experience manic type symptoms or fixate excessively if they dont know me or follow me, esp when i don’t leave that stuff in my bio anymore or always post abt it so they Don’t Know. and it’s just generally very prevalent to see someone saying Wild Shit n immediately be like ‘wtf?’ n post it without rlly giving it much thought. I mean, I’ve probably done that before myself w/o rlly giving a second thought to what I was doing 😭. so I try not to take it too personally n hope ppl will be sympathetic if they do see the other person’s side of things, at least!

But again I do rlly appreciate u sending this cuz it was still very reassuring and again im rlly happy u feel more inclined to share ur thoughts after following me cuz again u are so thoughtful n passionate n i still love reading ur posts n seeing ur art abt anything u are interested in even when its not Sunny stuff, theres always so much detail in everything u do its incredible! 💖 and dont worry abt me cuz i def dont plan on stopping the rambling myself anytime soon BSJDBDJ

[HAIKYUU!!] Season 2 episode 13

Can finally take a break from school jfc, got a lot of shit to catch up on now

JESUS- YAMA CAREFUL! TALL DUDE WATCH WHERE U HITTING THAT THING

Oh so his name's Yakuzawa... Why does that sound like a mafia group. Omg he's the baby of the group, they're treating him like he's the younger bro it's kinda sweet

HOLY SHIT, THAT BLOCK DID FUCKING NOTHING. Bruh wtf his parents feeding him

And trying to juke em with a gentle touch ain't gonna work either. Hmmm maybe Hinata could try swerving the ball AROUND the block?

Aight don't need to look menacing old man

LMAO HINATA "crazy old wizard"

Oof, hinata got to stop going directly for yakuzawa, shit aint gonna work obvs

OOOHH COME ON KAGEYAMA, GIVE A GOOD SERVE

Yeah blocking is practically pointless here, time to change strategy

Lol the glasses dude really be utilizing that anime trope a lot, the putting two fingers on the bridge as the glass shines white

Oh don't feel sorry for hinata, trust me he is going to wreck yalls shit soon

"the games pretty simple" haha my guy dont let kagehina hear that cuz they will go into the attack on ya

Height is really useful in volleyball, but like in any kind of competitive game, if you don't have the technique, strategy, or enough experience, it kinda pointless

HELL YEAH HINATA, NICE QUICK THINKING

Oh? OH! KAGEYAMA? ELLO? WE SEEING THE NEW SHIT

YES, FUCK YEAH LETS GO!! CAN'T FOLLOW SHIT IF IT TOO FAST

"How can he possibly be above me" like i said, if ya don't have strategy or technique in a competitive game, your height ain't shit. This is gonna teach him to take this more seriously

LMAO it ok hinata, ya got 2 other teammates who good at serving for u

OOOH TSUKI NICE BLOCK! God that serve is just, really satisfying to watch

Oh hey a recap on tempo, kinda needed that ngl. Wait wat, you telling me there's ANOTHER TEMPO??

Lol I missed these two idiots, almost forgot how funny kagehina interactions are

Is it just me, or is the kid who's with old coach Ukai kinda look like a younger ver of Oikawa

Well look who's taking this game more seriously. Karasuno seems to have that effect on others, inspiring and motivating ppl to go beyond... PLUS ULTRA- wait wrong anime

Ah, receiving, the one thing hinata is really bad at when he tries to do it properly

OH? so they waited for it to get hit and THEN blocked it

GSAP HOLY SHIT YES HINATA!! ONE TAP LETS GO!!

Gotta love how Karasuno just... Inspires ppl, even their opponents

Pft- the simps at it again

LMAO hinata turning into link with all those "HIYA!"s

Awww hinata trying to protect kiyoko from guys who can't understand what "no" means, he's such a good lik friend

Mmm idk if i like his vibe that much

PFT- god i love hinata and kiyoko's friendship, they're like siblings its cute

#acessment #sharing my brain juice #fandom talks #haikyuu!!
