#I feel sorry for your mum

[tragedykery]

getting sad thinking about the dialects I would have known/spoken had it not been for the devaluation of “non-standard” variations of a language

#another reason why prescriptivism is the devil #it’s just. both my grandparents on my dad’s side speak/spoke dialects but they didn’t really pass them on to my dad bc it would have #hindered him in school. but bc he knows so little of them he doesn’t really feel connected to them either and didn’t pass the bits he does #know on to me either #also bc my mum is a prescriptivist with a capital letter and thinks dialects aren’t ‘good dutch’ #which. girl. you literally didn’t learn your ancestors’ (for lack of better word) dialect either #oh also. I didn’t learn the dialect of the city I was born in either bc we moved away before I could #elli rambles #it just. makes me sad #all this linguistic diversity harmed by standardisation and the idea that the only purpose of a language is to communicate with as many #people as possible. while it’s such an important part of culture too #etc etc sorry I’m rambling #languageposting #why is this getting notes

[kissmefriendly]

On a slightly more serious note, I just wanna post this before the final entry, not counting the epilogue. I’m so, so thankful for Dracula Daily. It’s been an absolute blast beginning to end, reading discourse, seeing the jokes and memes and all the art, reading theories and reactions. And getting to be apart of that! Reading this book again in this format was a hell of an experience but the fact that I didn’t do it alone, I don’t know. We’ve all gotten to experience this book in a new way in real time together. I love that. And I hope that it won’t be just a one-off event, either. And even if it is? But this? It’s been wonderful. So, thank you to everyone for collectively going nuts over a 130 year old novel. Thank you for posting and making those artworks and memes and analyses. Reminds you you’re human and not stuck and alone.

#sorry for being emotional lol #but seriously #I didn’t exactly make new friends or connections #I’m not exactly someone people like seeing post etc etc #but you know what? I got to be in the same room as a bunch of strangers while we all shared an experience #on a personal note #I looked forward to DD everyday because irl I’m pretty isolated #even online I’m isolated this is my 5th or 6th blog. and it was just nice to feel apart of a group #and yeah we still have the epilogue and all but tbh #idk I don’t want it to end #I don’t wanna go back to being alone #I loved talking about this book with y’all I loved seeing your art and theories #it was exciting! #I read this book when I was 8 and my mum had never read it and my brother was too young to #so reading has always been very lonely #but this? this was amazing #and I really don’t want that to end #it’s less about the book itself and more about the people I’ve read it with #which I guess is rather at the heart of the book #dracula daily #dracula #so long and goodnight #lol

Little rant about my friend and consuming media lmao

Ok how do you consume media and still have NO IDEA who even the main character's name is? I recommended tma and bsd to a friend - well he started both. I ask him about it - like who his favourite character is or what he thinks of it - and he's so.... Confused almost? Like he just shrugged and said that he actually had no idea what was going on - which ok is kinda fair with bsd but like. you know the characters at least. Each one of them is introduced in some dramatic way, you can't MISS any of that and surely there's at least one character that gets your attention/that you relate to/that you find interesting. I mean ok maybe you forget the name or sth, but you at least remember the characters when I describe them to you, right? But no, my friend had no idea who for example Dazai was - DAZAI?! Like. What???? Or Atsushi.. the fucking main character???? Or chuuya???? Or - anyone??? I was so perplexed. How can you watch something and still have no idea about what you're watching?

The same happened with tma. I recommended it, he listened to the first few episodes. I asked him what he thought of Jon. HE DIDN'T KNOW WHO JON WAS I MEAN WHAT???? Oh idk he's just the guy reading the fucking statements. Before every statement he says "audio recording by Jonathan Sims" like how can you... miss that?

Idk, am I just consuming media so intensely or is he just... I don't even know.... Disinterested in engaging with the media one is consuming? It's not even that he doesn't like it. I asked him and he said it was good. But what exactly does he find good when he has no idea about. like. anything.

#vent post #personal #ranted to my mum about it as well and she said it might be bc he's stoned out of his ass the whole time #hhhhh #but i think more and more people don't have media literacy anymore #like they don't consume media critically they just watch whatever gets their attention first #it feels so dystopian.... #like wasting your time on those types of media just so that you're passing the time and not engaging with it #idk if that makes sense #i think I'm kinda hurt as well bc i thought we could talk about these series together #i even watched some of the things he enjoyed but he doesn't have a clue about them either #he always says that i become the “expert” on those mediums anyways so he doesn't have sth to add to the conversation #but that's not at all what i want? like I'm not the expert of anything i just want to talk about what he enjoys #and maybe get him to talk about things i enjoy as well #this all feels so bitchy I'm so sorry #ok rant over ig #thank you for reading all of that🙏💕

#sneefs text #SORRY. blind rage. this is a joke. mostly. #im not your mum. feel however you want about characters #i respect you and your bad opinion

Me: what I'm totally neurotypical idk what you're talking about-

The the little annoying voice inside my head that I argue with for fun: Remember that summer after eighth grade where you watched How to Train Your Dragon four times every single day for two months and by the time summer was over you could quote the entire goddamn movie by heart?

Me: what that didn't- This is Berk, it's twelve days north of hopeless and a few degrees south of freezing to death. It is located solidly on the meridian of mis-

#I wish I was exaggerating #But no I watched that movie four times a day for the entire summer #And now I'm trans so idk #Maybe the pipeline is real #Not the point of the post tho #The point is #I either have adhd or autism (maybe both idk my mum won't let me get diagnosed because stupid reasons I don't feel like getting into rn) #and I should've seen the signs before now #Also I really fucking like how to train your dragon #Hiccup was the first fictional character that I really saw myself and my struggles in #Okay wait actually I lied there was like one day I didn't watch the movie because a season of race to the edge came out and I had to watch #it all in one day #at least i think so #That might've been the summer before tho those years all kinds blend together #my posts #aberdeen talks #so sorry to the people scrolling through the Httyd tag that has to see this #But I'm tagging it so #how to train your dragon

Brian is the kind of guy to bring wine and viennetta to a dinner party

#/pos #he’s so hot for that #sorry who said that #uhmmmm #oh also apparently viennetta is an Aussie thing so to explain #oh and keep in mind I didn’t actually experience it #it’s the generation above #me #so this is like the experience as I understand it via the words of my mum and others online #so like if your parents were having friends over and one of them brought a viennetta like you knew they were doing well for themselves #like it was the shit #the parents food like wine #and it’s an ice cream cake by the way #but like it was like a show of fanciness I guess #but it was also like four dollars at Woolies #it’s very funny to me and I feel like Brian would #the mechs #the mechanisms #bear growls #drumbot brian

THROWING MY BRAIN OFF A SIDEWALK/NEG DEAR LORDDDD

#sorry just had a long conversation with mum and two of her friends #’i don’t want to have kids since birth seems painful’ ‘oh you don’t know that’ #AND THEY ALWAYS SAY IT IN A VOICE THAT I CAN’T DESCRIBE??? #like treating me younger than i am #like ma’am sorry i know i might change my mind in the future but in this moment in time i don’t want to have kids #like is that so hard to grasp #also when i explained me feeling uncomfortable in public changing rooms not just because my body but also me being queer/sapphic and being #grouped with afab people #and they just said ‘well when you’re older you’ll learn to feel ok with this’ true true #and then when i explained my gender and body stuff they said ‘yes but again you don’t want to damage your body before your decisions’ #ITS TOP SURGERY #IT ISN’T DAMAGE #AIDHDJHDJDJDKSKA #okok i am done #apologies for this #thoughts in the void

[tomybeloveddeadones]

All of this is wrong. So so wrong. The both of you are dead and it could have been prevented. Mistakes over mistakes were made and now all that's left of the both of you are two urns, filled by your ashes, buried few meters away from each other in a forest.

#das schicksal ist ein mieser verräter #seeing your Mum was highly comforting and at the same time painfully disturbing #the both of us carry that much grief #I feel so sorry for her #and I can't do much to help her #while hugging her I felt comfort real comfort #why just why #seeing this beautiful soul filled by that much pain and suffering breaks my heart again and again #I feel so deeply for her #and I admire her strength #bonded by grief

guess who finally got to go to a therapist again today after losing their other one

ME!!!!!!!!!!!

#im so sorry that happened youre really strong #o get through it #afterwards i had to walk back to my mums which was around 20 mins #i just ended up playing fine by lemon demon on repeat to calm me down lmao i didnt have earbuds so i just played it out loud while walking #stayed at her work for the rest of the day helping her and got back home at dark #the appointment went well i think. i fumbled my words to an ungodly amount and couldnt think properly #i barely could keep eye contact and just ending looking all over the room and then just wall. ty wall. was just slumped in the chair adsfgh #it was weird having to tell someone about myself #and whats happened in my life #while i was talking i was just like damn huh that did actually happen to me #i guess ive just repressed a lot of stuff and then having to bring it all back up again and trying to explain it as well was just weird #like when i told her about some of the stuff that happened to me during school she was like etc and it was weird because i dont really see #t but i just feel like she shouldnt be saying that to me. i dont know it just feels weird. i dont see it as anything even though it is some #hing i guess. like when she asked about me self harming i just said how it is because i guess to me its just nothing. even though i know se #f harm is not good to me it kinda doesnt feel like anything. its just yeah i do/did. nothing of it i just yeah. i need to figure out how to #feel again. thinking and understanding as well i suppose. #okay skaluli shut up i dont care stop talking.
