a man’s descent into madness

#he looks like the type to light up a cigarette after he’s finished with you #and then he’d talk your ear off about conspiracy theories #keep you up all night talking about how the 27 club was orchestrated by the government #‘i’m telling you babe kurt cobain didn’t do it himself’ #about how aliens took over a long time ago #and they’re just living inside people’s brains #‘man we’re all just vessels for them’ #he’s just so goddamn beautiful #i love him i can’t handle it #okay i’m rambling #but good morning #oh jakey #jake kiszka #greta van fleet #gvf

i thought i heard somewhere that the frieza force is guys only. is that true?

Where’d you hear that? My roster is quite diverse. I’ve got staff with genders you’ve likely never heard of.

Why, the Aluminians—fifteen percent of my fighting force—have eighteen distinct genders on their own. Not to mention the Urlanites, with sexes that change seasonally on a rotation of three, or the Octarons, who can swap freely at will…

And then there’s my own situation!

What a stupid notion. I can’t imagine how many capable warriors I’d have passed over that way.

Hate scifi-fantasy magic/energy dichotomies where they talk all about balance but use genocide one side or the other to achieve it. Buddy breaking the scale doesn’t make it balanced. What the fuck do you mean the dark ones are all evil? They have an evil ideology? Okay yeah I see where that can be taken as evil but - NO it’s not balance if the only thing left is the light! You’re telling me there’s never been an evil light user? Oh there has? Then why the fuck has there never been good dark users??? (Answer: author doesn’t care about representing balance they just want easily coded good guys and bad guys).

#ra speaks #personal #writing #yes. this is about Star Wars. but also a ton of other series do this to varying degrees #like hmmm I don’t think genocide is the key to balancing the universe. as a concept that’s kinda sus for a writer to focus on. #again I don’t understand why the Jedi didn’t expect Anakin to be/become a dark side user? #‘he’ll bring balance to the force’ + ‘the Sith are all but extinct’ = okay so he’s gonna revive the sith. that’s what I’m getting from this #especially in EP I like. they really all thought the sith were extinct. only after that does ‘balance’ become ‘destroy tbe sith’ #like ? that’s not how balance works. you’re space monks haven’t you like. had philosophical discussions abt this great prophecy? #and like it’s so dumb why write a dichotomy hinging on balance and have one sides code be ‘lol yeah we’re selfish bastards’ #while the others is like ‘we must be selfless and disconnected to the point of self destruction and alienation’ #like those are both extreme interpretations but also. why is the sith code much more easily interpreted to that extreme. #‘oh they just intrinsically evil -‘ well that defeats the point of having a balance. there’s no coexistence with that. #I guess my point is. yeah Anakin obviously joined the dark side and yeah the genocide of the Jedi wasn’t out of left field I mean. #we go from 2-3 Sith vs thousands of Jedi to a neat little 2:2 (sheev and Vader. Luke and Leia) #<- I’m talking about canon and narrative ratios. obv we know more Jedi survived I’m just taking the og trilogy in isolation.

i fucking hate my life.

one of the other tenants has been constantly turning the heat up to EIGHTY even though it hasn’t dipped below 40. this lead to the heating bill for the unit being like, $300 more than the rest of the boarding house.

so, since we are apparently untrustworthy children and not adults who can be reasoned with, the landlord came while tenant was at work and put one of those plastic locking boxes over the thermostat. tenant came home ranting and screaming, calling husband and me bitches repeatedly, yelling abt how he always gets the mail (?), screaming about how we went behind his back to the landlord (we didn’t), and then SLAMMED his door as hard as he could.

screaming and door slamming are so fucking triggering for me. i had a melt down verging on anxiety attack.

i absolutely Do Not Feel Safe Here.

lol the "woman can merely snicker" thing is from a popular twitter joke about white feminists. i think the joke is that some of you are taking this too seriously. sadie tried to frame a black man for murder, it's perfectly valid for people to dislike her. also, some people are uncomfortable with big age gaps and that's ok.

Hi Anon! Thanks for reaching out.

I’m not on twitter so I’m not aware of the joke and I didn’t even know it was a joke. I still don’t get what the women can merely snicker thing actually means.

I think me and some other queer blogs brought up very valid issues about how the fandom treats male versus female LIs which oftentimes can alienate queer players. Unfortunately there have been plenty of times in the fandom even here on tumblr in which queer fans feel alienated by the response to the Sadie scene or mftl mc being bi or so forth. That’s basically our main concern.

I flat out said in one of my posts that Sadie is a shit person. I literally hate her. She’s a godawful human being and I got no respect for her. And it’s completely valid for people to hate her for those reasons.

However, when all we’re seeing is people calling the scene nasty and uncomfortable without any context it can be easily misunderstood. I’ve literally only seen one account on here state that they found the scene gross because of what Sadie did. But when you have people just saying it’s nasty or uncomfortable and leaving it at that especially from straight female blogs who have a history of romancing toxic men there are those of us who have seen it as underlying homophobia.

Also, it’s frustrating when the same people who romanced or wanted to romance toxic and problematic men like Marc Antony, Aerin, and gaius then shitted on the Sadie scene. And again this goes into the same argument we’ve made that when those same people then shit on that Sadie scene when it’s coming from specifically straight women who romanced those men it feels like there’s again some underlying homophobia there that again makes some queer players feel alienated from the fandom.

Being uncomfortable about big age gaps is also completely valid. It makes me uncomfortable as well. I think what myself and other blogs pointed out is that it is hypocritical of people who find dilfs and older men attractive yet shamed the Sadie scene because she was older. But that wasn’t one of the main points.

Basically hating Sadie for what she did or finding the scene uncomfortable because of age gaps is completely valid. But when all we’re seeing is a ton of hate with no context coming specifically from straight women who romanced toxic/problematic men that’s when it becomes homophobia. Perhaps I didn’t state more clearly that’s who I was referring to in my previous posts but that’s the group that’s being hypocritical and homophobic. If you’re not a part of that group then we weren’t talking about you. And it’s frustrating because we are genuinely tired of seeing homophobia both in choices and in the fandom.

#basically that’s my take on the situation #we’re talking about a very specific group #and fears we have about queer players feeling alienated from the fandom #asks #anonymous

[ectoplasmer]

actually no I think it’d be really funny if my hs s/i and my ygo s/i switched places

#nervous high energy vs nervous low energy #furthermore #external awkwardness vs internal awkwardness #if we’re talking like. actually switching them and not just having a personality swap #i don’t think having a 16-year-old technical god stuck on a blimp with eight other 16-year-olds is a good idea lol #i mean. not too much different from the meteorite >_> #she would probably only know bare basics about this series because of memes and/or whatever dave references #creates plants to attempt to ‘shield’ people from attacks during duels out of habit. oops #everyone being injured by shadow games has a reliable (?) doctor (??) at least!! #watch as she becomes even more visibly a mess when they don’t immediately get back up though #i don’t. even wanna think about her interactions with yb or ym AGSJDHDJ #gets approached and just makes a series of incomprehensible nerve wracked noises. she’s fine. ignore the randomly sprouting flowers #ghostie would be the only mortal human on the meteor and. tbh. that worries me #LIKE i’m sure dave and rose would have at least some sort of idea on how they both got swapped #so they’d probably help and protect her if need be #sure the trolls are also mostly mortal but they’re aliens and have higher tolerance #lol just. gets carried around when they need to fly somewhere afshdg #going into the dream bubbles and having a moment where she has to just sit and watch all the other dead players #like oh. she isn’t the only one who can see them now. hm #dave would probably ask her to explain how to play duel monsters and she would try to be all humble about it but #secretly she’s happy she actually gets a chance to win now >:3 #her and rose are busy discussing lovecraft u_u #i want to talk about my hs s/i sooo bad but i don’t know how to without explaining all of homestuck lol #delete later #s/i: ghostie #s/i: AG

My mom was just like ahhh Im anxious to go out of my comfort zone and I was like you’re good how is this out of your comfort zone you’ve done this before and she was like why do you always judge my feelings and say I’m not allowed to feel that way I should feel some other way and I’m sitting here like :| as if she hasn’t done that to my my entire life and as if I didn’t mean you’ve done this before as a you got this sentiment not get over urself

#literally she said that and I just put my headphones on and went into my room bc if I had stayed out there I would’ve said ‘like you’ve done #to me my entire life’ and she would’ve had a shitty night and yelled and/or cried at me and I would’ve felt bad #so I just put my headphones on and walked away and it’s just like god how can she be so fucking unaware #like I got these fucking habits from somewhere like you think maybe growing up depressed and suicidal in a family that didn’t talk about or #publicly feel their emotions made it difficult for me to express things and you think maybe you making me feel bad constantly because of my #depression and on top of my depression might have transferred into me saying things that hurt you and not meaning it #but I can’t say any of this becusse obviously she didn’t mean it at the time she didn’t know how to deal with me but fuck man it just fucks #me up cause i don’t want to be constantly trying to get pay back against my mother or whatever but I also feel like she’s constantly trying #to say shit to me about her going on dates or whatever when I have repeatedly told her I don’t want to talk about it and I don’t like when #she jokes about it and I tell her to like get a hobby other than men and like I’m joking but I’m fucking not #like she spends all her time out with guys or talking about guys or texting guys while we’re supposed to be hanging out and I have both #never felt more isolated and alienated from my family and have never felt this weirdly connected to my family #like I feel like how my mother felt when I was doing stupid shit and she didn’t want to say anything and when she did I’d be an asshole but #she’d be right and idk it’s just like how do I stay mad at my mother while doing the same things she did to me then #but how do I stop doing them if I can’t address why I’m doing it and how do I address it if I feel like I need to tell her #but I’ve told her and it doesn’t help it only makes her feel bad #how do I let myself feel my emotions. how has everyone else been doing it this whole time and it’s fucking impossible for me #ugh. #fuck. #I’m gonna take one of my crying edibles and see if I can get listening to some sad music and let some tears out of my face #and then I’m gonna play Minecraft tonight with 🧍🏻 and he doesn’t know I have a pet bird yet or about my trip so that’ll be fun

[m4sc4r4]

I suppose it’s a very important “two things can be true” that individuals don’t exist nor are they obligated to fulfill your needs and desires and that it’s generally unfair to categorize others’ unmet needs as frivolous and demanding and harmful bc ultimately people aren’t self sufficient and shouldn’t be shamed for needing more

#every time I hear or read something about how we should take into account others’ needs more #usually about this idea that we’re becoming alienated by becoming obsessed with boundaries #I think about a highschool teacher who made me feel like I was in trouble for not giving him the emotionally intimate relationship he wanted #with me and how cornered and scared I felt at the time #but every time I hear or read something talking about overwhelming neediness in relationships I think about all the people who made me feel #like it was my fault I wasn’t able to take care of myself (read: make my dad care about me) as a younger teen #and just acted like I was just a catagorically demanding person rather than someone in a bad position trying to get by

[starbuck]

me about characters that literally never interact in canon: theyyyyyyyyyy 🥰💕❤️🥰💖

#THEY OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE WITHIN THE NARRATIVE (OH MY GOD THEY OCCUPY THE SAME SPACE WITHIN THE NARRATIVE) #this isn’t even romantic in the least btw - i’m just insane #i see characters who occupy the same narrative space and i’m like ‘they should have had a conversation’ #‘i bet they could have fucked shit up under the right circumstances’ #and if i were to… *provide* those circumstances in a certain extremely self-indulgent AU fanfiction… #well… who’s to say what could happen… #*untragedifies your narrative by letting the characters actually Talk to each other* #because like. Listen. #i appreciate a good ‘tragedy that functions as a cautionary tale about bad communication’ as much as the next guy #especially if it’s also a commentary on like. the way we’re alienated from each other by our oppressive society #but i don’t want to be alienated rn #this is such a horrifying time to be alive and I want to join together with others and work towards something better #and THAT is what i’m indulging here #and it feels Good

Releasing Maladek

By: Victoria Aveline

Part of the Claimed By The Stars Anthology (each story is 16-20 chapters long, so we’re making individual posts for each one).

Monster Scale

Level 02: Mostly Human But Minor Differences

Basically human, except purple and has horns. Can also sense things underground. 

My Overall Rating For The Book

“I Bought The Book/Series And Want Them Signed Please Holy Shit”

This was awesome! I love Katie and Maladek, they are great together. Love seeing what happened to other humans who weren’t picked up by the Clecanians. I really hope Victoria Aveline does more novella’s like this in the future for her side characters. 

Overly Simplified Summary

The ship Katie is on crashlands on an alien planet due to hypnotizing weirdo aliens we meet in Using Fejo (Book 05). She is able to avoid being captured and runs into Maladek. The two team up to contact the outside world and save themselves and the other prisoners. 

Also Maladek’s mating tattoos immediately appear, so he’s also trying to make Katie fall in love with him at the same time. 

Keep reading for ‘This Book Has Everything’ and possible Trigger Warnings.

This Book Series Has Everything

[x] Touch them and I’ll kill you vibes

[x] Big buff love interest

[x] Plot first smut second 

[x] Love interest goes on a rampage when main character is either hurt or kidnapped

[x] Girls are abducted by bad aliens and then rescued by good aliens

[x] Straight 

[x] Couple bonds in a Bear Grylls survival situation 

[x] We’re escaping from the bad guys' prison/lab/etc.

[x] Love interest has to fight hard to win the love interests heart

[x] Main character and love interest talk about their problems or tragic pasts and heal together

[x] Society where men have drank respect women juice 

[x] Open communication 

[x] The couple has equal power in the relationship

[x] Lead or love interest gets injured and the lead or love interests drop everything to take care of them

[x] Happy Ending Guaranteed

[x] They purr like a FUCKING CAT

[x] Super scary/dangerous but very gentle and sweet with the one they love

Here’s a link/buy the book!

Trigger Warnings

[x] Kidnapped/held captive against their will

[x] Drugged up without consent

Not between the two love interests, but Maladex is susceptible to the mind control/freeze song.

funy space aus are often (like most things) very clearly inspired by whatever space-related things the creator fancies consciously or otherwise. and well for my mounders space au noodling it’s just going to have to suffer the reality of pikmin being a deeply foundational influence on me as a person ok

#mounders space au #sure that’ll be it’s tag. I Will add to it #dragon rambles #guys conveniently crash on the same weirdo planet. and Then things Happen. a favorite setting of mine #another truth is that the alien designs will be overwhelmingly creature. we’ll all have to bear this ok #I just am compelled by 4 losers getting stuck together and bringing their own problems to the table with them #and being meaningfully changed by the experience in an uncharacteristic for it’s origin happy enough ending (because I’m me) #is that too much to ask #i already have joel and bdubs mostly designed just gotta work out pearl and mumbo and then we’re cooking… oh yeah and everyone else #end ramble. I’m bad at talking about my ideas. gnawing on these guys like a dense gourd

The fic I wrote on ao3 got like 5 hits on Christmas Day which is hilarious to me

#on the day of Christ’s birth the ppl wanted to read about the gay alien priest from Godzilla #like we’re talking small scale fic here #like 70 to 75 hits #which is a not insignificant amount relatively speaking

Yes transphobia is stupid and annoying in general but smt specifically that annoys me is when transphobes go “oh this person has mutilated themselves with hormones used to chemically sterilize rapists”

Like

Like yes but

Do you know what that hormone was used for before they found out it reduced libido in men??

They used it to halt too fast growth in children that could give them health risks

It was a fucking type of puberty blockers

#take my rant here with a grain of salt #I have not gone back and read the article again to make sure it’s the same hormone they talk about #but this is literally how some of the history behind hormone blockers went #it’s gone back and forth but for some reason they only pick the bad period I wonder why #ughhh #I’m in a complaining mood tonight #I spend 20 minutes ranting about my flatmate earlier #and then I saw transphobic comments online when I got home #also I wrote down potential responses to me flatmate to let him now what annoys me in a polite way #which I’ve done /before/ so I have the note saved on my phone #and one of the things was the same fucking thing #he makes queer jokes but in a way we’re hell reference internet queer jokes irl #like aces like garlic bread or whatever #and I added a little reflection part to my new note about how when he a cishet guy does it it feels alienating #and I wasn’t really sure if i was just overthinking that part but then I saw #and that’s fucking the same thing I wrote a year ago when I noticed it first #iiiii do not have the patience for him atm #nor a lot of other stuff evidently #anyway now I’ll read my book and go to sleeep #today has actually been a good day tho productive first and fun later #me #this really goes to the void even more than my usual shitposts

At first I was willing to have those conversations about homophobia in Palestine and the existence of homophobic Palestinians doesn’t excuse a genocide but now I just don’t care - because the entire conversation has devolved into people who are not Palestinian going on tangents about how “yes Palestinians are homophobic but they still don’t deserve to die” as if we’re some kind of hive mind with all the same ideas.

We are apparently all barbaric, ignorant, bigoted people but hey I guess it makes it okay and not racist to say if someone says genocide bad. I’m tired of people talking about us as if we’re some kind of alien beings who can’t be discussed with directly and will always be outsiders even in conversations about us

#‘Palestinian men are misogynistic but they still don’t deserve to die’ what if the world was made of peanut butter #palestine

Sometimes u have to go to an arcade in the middle of the workday to not go insane

#it was like. an extended lunch break we’re so fine #altho there was a manager who came by to talk to us and I showed him our aliens #and my friend got SO visibly nervous and I was offended #I have SOME common sense I’m not about to tell him we just got them from Dave and busters #I think I got. maybe three? hours of work done yesterday #but honestly im already over time. by a LOT AND I’m working this weekend so I don’t care. #I wish I was more like Victoria actualyl in that aspect #cause I feel so guilty if I ever work less than 40 hours #and this girl works. maybe 20 hours a week IF that and regularly brags about it #and I support her. #anyways we shot LOTS of zombies and cyborgs #and we went to main event after work and shot some more #and also I’m SO good at air hockey I fucking crushed her #and we played mini golf for the first time and she made fun of me for it #as I was typing this she texted me more mini golf locations. as if I’m ever going to subject myself to that ridicule again #she said she’s never been defeated in foosball. so one of these days we’re gonna find a foosball table and yea she’s probably gonna beat me #but it’s ON. we’re both very very very competitive. and she’s much better at hiding it but I know she’s seething inside when I beat her #altho I did keep holding the gun backwards for the shooting games. so I wasn’t that much of a challenge. but once I figured it out #I held it the right way!! I bet I’d be awesome at those against literally anyone else #someone who hasn’t been shooting guns for like over a decade. and I pointed that out I was like HOW ARE U MAKING FUN OF ME FOR NOT KNOWING #HOW TO KILL PEOPLE. and she was like yeah that’s fair probably not an experience u should ever have #also I might be getting therapy. very humiliating to start crying at mini golf cause someone keeps suggesting their therapist for u. #but also I’m Mad that she’s pathologizing my jokes about eating random shit. like it’s very very funny and I rarely do it anymore!! #like there are SO MANY other things that I actually need therapy for than my eating habits. also she kept being annoying about food #so I told her she wasn’t my mom and she was like ‘I am now’ in FRONT of Luke and he just went ‘ok I’m not touching that’ and walked away #which is the first good call he’s ever made in his life #I don’t get why she’s friends with me. like yeah I’m useful but she hangs out with me a LOT and is like. fine with it?? I’m not too much?? #it’s Weird. I should just ask her why we’re friends but I know she’d give me this Look and I don’t want to see that look of judgement #I was gonna meet her older friend today whose in her 50s and get lunch with her but it didn’t work out. but apparently she’s a lot like me #my current theory is that I just remind her of herself when she was younger so she’s trying to get me to not make the same mistakes maybe
