#I normally don’t do hot takes

[maviox]

I think every social media website needs to realize something very important.

The website itself is not the product.

WE are the product.

The userbase is what makes the website money, this is true for all social media platforms. Stop changing the website like it’s the product it’s not, we are.

#tumblr #I normally don’t do hot takes #but it’s some my dad told me when the musk rat overtook twitter #and iv been waiting to share it for a while #hot take #twitter #elongated muskrat #thanks elon #stop try to make tumblr twitter no one wants that #i legit stopped drawing because of how bad twitter stressed me out #adhd rambles #i haven’t posted in forever #all the tags #how do tags work #oh no tag typos #aaaaaaa #gotta love that late stage capitalism

“katara is uptight and gets offended when anyone swears in her vicinity” has gotta be one of the lamest fandom jokes. for what it’s worth, i don’t think any of the atla kids wouldn’t swear out of some naive sense of propriety (with perhaps the exception of azula, because she’s an obedient goody two shoes who thinks coarse speech is for the lower classes), but katara would be one to swear a lot. she definitely swears more than sokka, although she’d also regulate her speech better so as not to offend those around her (especially if she is in the process of sucking up to an adult). sokka would swear just because he’s a grumpy, easily frustrated person whose choice of words reflects his frustration, but katara would swear out of her fundamental sense of rebellion. a deep thrill runs through her every time she says fuck or shit, because she is fourteen and away from the admonishing tongue of gran gran for the first time in her life. katara, toph, and aang are still young enough that saying “bad words” fills them with a sense of excitement over “breaking the rules,” whereas for sokka, zuko, and suki, that novelty wore off a while ago and it’s simply a part of their everyday speech. but while sokka is a teacher’s pet at heart who presents as a misanthropic asshole, katara is a mischievous ne’er-do-well at heart who presents as a beacon of polite decorum whenever she wants to get her way (typical elder vs younger sibling distinction). but you know that when katara is yelling at sokka, pakku, toph, zuko, and every other unfortunate soul who may find themselves on the receiving end of her wrath, she’s cramming in as many “what the fuck is your problem?!”s and “get your shit together!!”s as she possibly can. then again, katara would definitely respond with righteous indignation if toph cursed in front of her, but that’s hardly because katara is offended at toph for saying bad words. rather, it’s simply because she also happens to be. a massive hypocrite.

#no matter what toph says or does she’s gonna take umbrage with it #but only specifically BECAUSE it’s toph #anyway. #KATARA !!!! ISNT !!! A FUCKING!!!! SQUARE!!!!!!!!!! #and in fact ppl who mischaracterize katara as a square are antithetically misreading her entire character #also this is the only time i will EVER comment on this insane ‘swearing discourse’ #all these kids would swear bc it’s a normal part of language. who the fuck even cares #katara #hot takes #also when i call #azula #a ‘goody two shoes’ i ofc mean that she’s obedient WITHIN her paradigm #so burning down a beach house and terrorizing people is still her asserting her loyalty to her father #because it’s exactly what he would do #and when i call #sokka #a misanthropic asshole #or call katara neerdowell or a hypocrite #i am of course doing so lovingly #so don’t get it twisted #katara&toph #kanna&katara #katara’s relationship to gran gran is to the crux of understanding her character imo #but ive already made that post so im not gonna rehash it here

deku would never ever pigeon hole you but the idea of you being his house spouse makes him soooo heart-eyes. like even imaging you greeting him at the door with a little kiss and a “welcome home honey” makes him a lil hot under the collar

#😵‍💫 deku my beloved #not to do another deku hot take but normal happy marriage is so outside of his wheelhouse that all he can do is like #Yknow when cats see something and they don’t know what it is and they like cock their heads and tap it So Gently? #that’s deku with marriage #just SUCH curiosity and fast heartbeat nerves #man’s gif no dad. he can’t really have a normal relationship as the top hero #so daydreaming abt u in a frilly apron is the next best thing #squawk tag #hi I do not trust poets even MORE now #:) #I’m eating a pizza #whole pizza just for me <3

tfw someone you care about invites you to do something that is arguably low energy 3 days in a row and you don’t want to hurt their feelings but you are Still Recharging from that social event right before the weekend and have to turn them down yet again and hope they don’t think you’re trying to avoid them personally

#Yeah #normally social events don’t tire me out this much (especially ones I had a lot of fun at) but I’m not doing so hot lol #Anyways here’s to hoping that they’re not taking it personally I just genuinely am having a hard time getting out of my bed rn #I cannot leave the house but I also do not want any new presences in my vicinity #I somehow dried up /all/ my spell slots without realizing and they’re taking forever to refill and my long rests are not cutting it

[goldensunset]

ugh how long do i have to sleep how many fluids must i consume how warm and cozy do i have to be to unsick the sick

#trying to speedrun the healing process any% #i don’t have much experience with actually trying to respond to my body’s needs normally i just suffer the whole time #i tried this revolutionary thing once last winter and it actually worked but i don’t remember how many days it was #this is only day two but i’m impatient #i just feel constantly feverish and my lungs are on fire it was very hard to walk my 15 min commute in the cold today #wearing a mask helped a bit but of course that just makes breathing harder #i’m too exhausted to even stand at the stove and cook but i’ll try #been taking naps and steaming my face in ramen/hot cocoa and drinking water #if that doesn’t do it idk what will . sucks that it’s monday #peach rambles

‘im on my way do you want anything from greggs?’ kiss me with tongue

#YES I FUCKING DO LETS GOOOOO #going to the dnd movie with my dnd group if I’d said that string of words to myself a few months ago I would have hate-crimed me #it was supposed to be a big day out where we all met up around now to go to the cinema and then after do a one-shot session #so I’d literally be with them from like. 1-10 #but I cancelled on them for the one-shot bc i am due the FUCK on like in the trenches with it #i legally should not be allowed around people when I’m like this for the greater good #and normally I’d be like ‘suck it up!’ and force myself through the day and the inevitable shitshow of being overwhelmed and overstimulated #and generally just very upset #but i was like you know what no. I’ll go cinema and cancel the one-shot and knowing I don’t have such a full on day #will enable me to enjoy the shorter day significantly more #and low and behold I went from not wanting to get out of bed to buzzing and smiley #literally like a switch being flipped #weird that! almost like accommodating for yourself when you’re not feeling too hot is actually a good thing and not a weakness! #might even allow myself to take painkillers. who is she a misty memory #hella goes to uni

tbh, and i genuinly mean this, the US and other countries would greatly benefit from having more statues, fountains, and the like with naked people. where i live, these things are completely normal. nudity =/= sexual. i walk past a fountain with the statues of two naked children every day, and i’m still normal. i am also, and maybe especially, still normal about nudity. because these naked kids aren’t sexual, they’re just naked. i used to look like that! and you did too. (the only difference is that we’re older now because those two are preschoolers.)

i don’t mean to say that we should have those things everywhere. off the top of my head, i only know two locations featuring nude statues in the town i live in + the one i go to school in combined. one is said fountain, and the other is a sort of memorial for a teen boy in one of the town’s legends. he’s pretty big, and at a pretty obvious spot. and, guess what? we are all still normal about nudity! it actually generates a sense of normalcy around nudity. the way community changing rooms do (we have those a lot in public outdoor swimming pools, especially smaller ones/those without life guards). i myself am not a big fan of those because they make me somewhat uncomfortable and dysphoric, but that’s a me problem, and i can handle that myself. if my body actually looked the way i wanted, i think’d be more comfortable in them. and even if not, my discomfort doesn’t mean that i can’t be normal about nudity. because nudity is a normal part of life, and we should treat it as such.

#this is a hot take but one of the few things my bio parents did right is treating nudity normal #i am used to be naked around parents/siblings/to an extent roommates bc in our household it was normal #and. bc ik ppl are gonna be weird abt it. one hundered percent NON-SEXUAL. #i can easily shower in the same room my brother is brushing his teeth or a close friend is doing their hair #and i get if you don’t! that’s not bad!! but I BEG YOU be normal about people who are comfortable with that #divine rambles. ` 🕊

#hot take but I actually think the balcony fight is something that it is very possible to come back from #but I don’t know if it’s possible for THOSE TWO to come back from #because they’re both pathologically averse to — possibly actually allergic to — self-reflection. honesty. apologizing. and trying to do very #*trying to do better #like sometimes people have bad fights and if they were NORMAL they might be able to talk through it and learn from it #but they are abnormal in the most wrong ways for that

i will not call out no matter how much i want to (self affirmation) ((not working))

#personal #i’m not gonna call out especially bc i have a chance of doing way less today if i’m on that project again #it’ll still probably be dog shit after 5 and we’ll only have like 3 agents again #which i know means that supervisors is gonna send me that copy paste again that we go through every fucking week bc we only have like 3 #agents for 3 hours and i get she’s stressed but if i get that copy paste again just for her to be like no worries take ur time!!! #i’m gonna blow a fuckin gasket and make it so we only got two agents tonight #like is it specifically her fault? absolutely not fuck the company for not hiring more people and sucks she’s the only supervisor for a #hot second that’s not fair on her but flip side she’s burnin bridges with 1/3 agents she has for like fucking hours two nights of the week #like i have no desire to help you at all. mainly bc the message you said is literally fucking copied and pasted #just text me like a normal person!!! hey we’re slammed can i get you back on calls? #hey no rush but much longer on whatever aux? #i think i’d be annoyed no matter what bc it’s not fair nor my fault the company can’t balance agents during the day/night #but the copy paste and the same fucking convo everytime is killing me #and the way she’s the only to message me like this let alone every fucking shift we work together #i imagine she texts everyone this shit im not special but does not mean i don’t fucking hate it #re writing this almost made me call out 😭😭 i got so mad no i have to go in one bc i don’t want to be fired #two bc i might do fuck all today 😭 waited two hours yesterday for a project to review just doing fuck all

[milo-is-rambling]

Sometimes I think I might be faking having chronic pain (yknow, anxiety) and then I remember that normal people do not hurt every single day and I get jealous

#you’re telling me your back and hips and shoulders and neck don’t constantly hurt when you’re doing nothing to strain yourself at all #you’re telling me normal people do not feel like crying because yesterday they hung up some posters and now their back has been off all day #like I literally didn’t want to leave the house today bc I hurt so much but I pushed thru it and now rolling my back with the foam roller #hurts so fuckin bad I’m wishing I had just rested #normal people are able to change their posters around one day and then buzz bleach and dye their hair the next day without crying because #your back shoulders neck hips all hurt #insane to me #forever jealous of people who don’t hurt #I am debating finding my heating pad and laying on it bc my back hurts even tho it’s warm in my room #like I know I’ll get overheated but it just sounds so nice #I’ll put on some icy hot when I’m done stretching and take some meds and smoke and then hopefully I’ll feel better tomorrow

So quick note for people who are astrologers, witches, mediums, etc. like spirituality is heavy in your routine or basically a way of being.

What’s your next year looking like, does it involve some form or conflict that deals with 9H, 11H, or 7H themes. I’ve talked to about four people now and including myself I’m starting to see an interesting combination between the next transits and our solar returns next year. It’s either setting things right, standing up for yourself, or losing relationships but it always is intertwined with this somehow

And interesting how so many people are suddenly being so loudly anti-astrology or basically making skepticism their entire personality trait

#like this isn’t anything new the world works in cycles #look at any 80s/90s show/cartoon and you Will see psychic shops in the bg #pretty normalized even if their portrayal is uh #and who is that harming except for Romani’s but that’s another discussion #anyway I’m excited for all the annoying shit coming up as long as it’s not bordering on racist and problematic!! #keep the hot takes stupid and entertaining so I don’t have to think and I can just laugh please #extreme side note: VERY pissed I was blocked so badly from investing in a new hobby to hyperfixate on????? #im ignoring those signs and I’m doing it anyway???

my whole issue of needing to be Lucio’s surrogate mom by the end of his route is being circumvented by literally just having Sam Daddy™️ him and just fully embrace straight up DDLB shit with them lmfaooo

#listen i know there are people who can consume fanfic in a normal way #but there’s a lot of people who do not #like it adds to a lot of delusions in fan culture #not blaming the writers but some people will read the work and take it as if that’s who the person is in real life #i follow some writers because they also make gifs and shit or they just reblog the best stuff #and they seem fully aware that they’re writing from their imagination #but some of the people who read fic somehow confuse it with real life #like ‘ well we know so and so likes this and that’ #No you don’t- you read it in a fic and decided that’s who they are irl #again- I’m aware that there are people who understand what the fic is fanfic means but a lot don’t so I don’t want it anywhere near me #I did not slave over a hot laptop for this #I did not get into a physical altercation with photoshop for this

#god i’m so unhappy and i just really don’t know what to do #i tried to look at job listings today and everything i saw sounded absolutely abysmal #i feel so pathetic i just wish i could work and have a normal job and not be a fucking freak about everything #i just wanna be able to take care of myself i hate being dependent on others so fucking much #but all i have the energy to do is lay around and feel miserable and everyone keeps telling me i need to do something! anything! #and i try i really fucking do but just nothing happens bc i just have no energy for anything #i want to go to school or have a job or SOMETHING believe me i don’t want to just lay around and not do anything and have no money #it SUCKS and makes me feel awful about myself and it’s straining my relationships bc i can tell everyon: #*everyone’s tired of me acting like this and i’m tired of it too but i just genuinely don’t know how to get out of it #im so tired and depressed and i’m trying so hard not to be like i’m taking my meds and doing my basic tasks and hygiene #but beyond that i have no motivation or energy for anything else and people are concerned about me wasting my potential #and i just feel like i’m disappointing everyone and i’m just a time/money/effort suck for everyone around me #i don’t even know what would make me feel better at this point #maybe just being someone else entirely. someone who’s not a fuckup who wastes everyone’s time like me #just nothing brings me joy anymore and i’m so agitated and pessimistic about everything and i wish that i wasn’t #the only thing i know to do is to cover it up with an inflated self esteem about how hot i am and how people desire me #but that desire is always so superficial and empty and feels amazing in the moment and progressively more awful as time goes on #idk i’m just ranting at this point but just know i’m in my electra heart era and not necessarily happy about it #personal

the most frustrating trait i got from my dad is the habit of saying things that i just think are true with the confidence and authority of someone talking about well-researched facts

#i genuinely don’t know how to stop doing this either i sound way overconfident or i have to pepper in my normal tone with constant caveats #going hey actually disclaimer i’m not actually sure #but people still believe me because of how i talk #and how i present myself #and disclaimers are just me convering my ass so no one hates me if i’m wrong #corpus hot take of the day
