#I’m angry and I’m allowed to be.

[waterberry-strawmelon]

just gonna go ahead and say this in advance—

if Riz does indeed come out in junior year, and he says, “I’m ace” or “I’m asexual” when referring specifically to his lack of romantic attraction, aromantic people are allowed to be upset about it.

#because yes of course some people irl say ace to mean both bc that’s how they personally identify #but in fictional media the distinction is necessary. especially with how few canonically aromantic characters even exist in ANY mainstream/ #popular media. #I assure you I’m not invalidating anyone who is ace and they mean that to include lack of romantic attraction. #But to look at this from a MEDIA PERSPECTIVE its irresponsible to do this w/out clarification that they also know the word aromantic exists #because otherwise that’s just a conflation of asexual and aromantic without any nuance #and an erasure of aromantic people who are not asexual. #Plus—name a single fucking time a character in mainstream/popular media has said the word aromantic. #Because I can name several instances where they say asexual. But I can’t think of ONE where they say aro or aromantic. #(Maybe that Isaac kid does in season 2 of Heartstopper? But I haven’t seen it so I’m not 100% sure.) #anyways. #the way this fucking fandom—and ANY fandom with a canon aro character—discusses the aromantic spectrum #is blatantly just to remove their own personal guilt for shipping that character with other characters and erasing their orientation. #because yes aromanticism IS a spectrum!! But when people talk about fabriz and say ‘he can still be ace!’ (Which is aro erasure) or #‘he can still be aro!’ They never SHOW riz still being aro or having any kind of complex relationship with romance. #I’m angry and I’m allowed to be. #I get that a ship you liked may be hard to let go of or something #But I’d be much less mad if all the fabriz fans said ‘yeah I know Riz is aro in canon and he and Fabian would never get together. #I just like to imagine it sometimes in fiction/fanon!’ Then that would be a WHOLE different conversation #Because then they’d at least be acknowledging that riz doesn’t feel romance in canon. That fabriz is something that actively #Goes against the canon characterization of one of those characters—and that’s fine. Just fucking ACKNOWLEDGE IT. #But most of these people either WANT fabriz to be canon/believe it WILL BE canon #OR I guess feel uncomfortable confronting the fact that they ARE erasing riz’s aromanticism so they don’t even acknowledge it at all. #fhjy #fantasy high #d20 #dimension 20 #riz gukgak #aromantic riz gukgak #fhsy

I think more people should make peace with their dark sides, and I don’t mean that in an edgy way, I mean that in a “letting purity culture infect you to the point where you get frightened by even your own darker thoughts and impulses is NOT the healthy own you think it is” kind of way and

#you should be comfortable knowing you CAN get angry #you should be allowing yourselves to feel bad or angry or mad or even hateful without thinking you’re suddenly evil like #I think people who try to be positive and unproblematic and peaceful ALL the time are so unhealthy #personal txt #this isn’t about anything in particular I’m just sick of people thinking being angry is inherently problematic

If you’re annoyed or upset by how much I post about antisemitism…

Imagine how I feel!!!

#I cannot explain how deeply I hate posting about it this much #I hate it #I hate this #I’m so sad all the time #but I’m not allowed to be sad #or angry #or aggrieved #I have to be patient #and educate people #and push my own anger down #so that it’s not weaponized against me and my people #to prove we’re all monsters #you have no idea #how much pain I’m in all the time

Leo as a character is deeply tied to the very concept of identity that it is deeply ingrained into every aspect of his character and in this essay I will-

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #rottmnt leo #no but I’m being so serious Leo and his struggles with identity are so prevalent in his story throughout the series #he’s a liar and a schemer and masks 24/7 and thinks he’s nothing without his family all while failing to establish himself outside of them #and it’s SO INTERESTING #like some of his main characteristics are his PERSONA and his SUBTERFUGE #pretty much the one interest he has that is not related to his family is magic tricks aka more persona and deception #one of the only times he goes off on his own is to get some rest and relaxation #and even then he HAPPILY changes a part of himself to even be allowed that #this is all also interesting in how he interacts with his family #he knows people and he’s good with words #his pep talks his goading they go hand in hand #and he’d rather people be annoyed or angry at him than be allowed to see the nothing he believes himself to be #Leo struggles with his identity because deception is the backbone of such a large part of it #and the other part is just him being a part of a whole #one part of a package set #his ego is built by putting on airs and is every bit as fragile as its foundation #I’ll probably add more tags later lbr I’m just so tied to Leo and Identity I could go on and on #AND ANOTHER THING but I also think for as much as Leo wants to prove himself an individual he is also TERRIFED at the thought of being known #Leo is a self sabotaging character who lowers people’s expectations as best he can on purpose

Psychiatrist: Does anyone else in your family have ADHD? It often runs in the family.

Me: I don’t know. Nobody ever got diagnosed with it.

Psychiatrist: That’s not unusual. A sign could be criminal activity because people with ADHD seek excitement and have less impulse control if they’re undiagnosed, so petty, non-violent crime is common.

Me: Well, the only criminal was my grandfather who kept robbing corner stores with his hunting rifle and was so well known by the police they’d show up at my grandparents’ apartment first if a corner store nearby got robbed. My mom woke up more than once because a police officer was shining a flashlight in her face in the middle of the night when they were looking for him and the fancy jewlery box in her bedroom was made by my grandfather while he was in prison.

Psychiatrist looking at me silently, then crossing a single thing off on her papers: I…see.

Me: Oh, and my dad bounced his legs a lot when he sat down.

Psychiatrist: Yes…that could be a sign too…

#adhd #my grandfather was quite the character #he was the only man in their block who didn’t hit his wife or children #he had a special middle name that only boys were allowed to have #but he didn’t give a fuck a gave it to his daughters #we still sometimes get calls from angry people #who think it’s wrong for the women in our part of the family to have it #I’m never ever letting go of my middle name because of that #but i digress

in my thinking about Muriel Goodomens hours.

they’re so sweet and adorable and gentle, and it kills me how they’re constantly looked down upon/belittled/etc. i rly genuinely hope we get the chance to see them just abso-fuckin-lutely lose it in s3.

they should be allowed to punt the Metatron into the sun. as a treat :)

#let Muriel get angry 2024 #good omens #good omens 2 #go2 #as someone who is a massive ppl pleaser and who adopted a fawn trauma response in the face of abuse #my little brain was like oh?? oh?? Muriel angry?? Muriel very very angry inside?? Muriel vengeance time?!!! #like obviously I want to see azi/Crowley just fuckin DECK the metatron #just pick up that loser by the scruff of the neck and chuck him into outer space #but Muriel should also be allowed to kick his ass a little #I’m very sleep deprived idk if this makes sense at all #gomens #gomens 2 #Muriel #Muriel good omens #good omens season 2

I keep thinking about a Hairdresser AU with Lucifer as the hairdresser that has had Alastor as a client for fuck knows how long and in a petty display of anger after an argument gives Alastor that god awful bob.

“What?” Lucifer asked with an innocent grin. “I thought your face was made for radio?”

Then Alastor goes to rant to Rosie. The #1 Marriage Councilor to ever exist whom isn’t doing anything but laugh and being the most unhelpful best friend ever.

#radioapple #lucifer hazbin hotel #hazbin hotel #lucifier morningstar #alastor #I’m going with they’re married #you know that never go to bed angry? #Well #Lucifer doesn’t sleep the insomniac fuck and stewed all night with it until the appointment and knew it was time for revenge #I really need to stop watching hair videos #alastor hazbin hotel #cue Vox laughing his ass off #but also knowing that’s exactly why Valentino will never be allowed scissors anywhere near his hair #human au #maybe #kinda be funny if it was literally just the Devil vibing on Earth cutting and dying hair

#abby doesnt shut up #being a swiftie rn is incredibly conflicting #like I have all this love for someone who is dating someone with so much hate for ppl like me & ppl I love #and we’ve been waiting so long for this tour #and cool things are happening #and then he’s there and taylor supports him #so how do u even have fun anymore #then you feel shitty for going to tour at all even though it’s your dream #and you think about how all of her promises and morals have flown out the window #then you’re like oh great this is my only safe space and I’m mad but cannot leave #and then I love her #and then she doesn’t speak out #and then she’s pictured with that monster #then I want to protect her from the tiktokers stalking her #then I’m sad again #and I say this just being disabled. I cannot imagine how other marginalized swifties feel. #so please just be gentle with everyone rn. this is not cut & dry and ppl are allowed to feel multiple things at once. #if I see you yelling at marginalized fans for going to tour it’s ON SIGHT. they shouldn’t have to bear this burden and lead the way by - #-giving up their tickets. we all still love her and that’s why we’re angry.

i know that message is just a jab at me because they think i’m a trans woman as that blog is apparently known for harassing transfem lolitas but like it’s still wild to me that you simply cannot imagine ppl who live lives deviating from what *you* consider respectable to be respected!!

i regret to ruin the fantasy you imagine of all trans ppl corrupting little kids but i work with teenagers, mostly baked and buzzing with opinions. i am hyper aware of the political position i am in, and as an openly non-binary teacher i keep my personal life and my identity to contain as little inflammatory information as possible. i go by mx. i introduced myself with they/them pronouns and then i do not correct them. i occasionally refer to my partner when discussing where i went over the weekend. but like i have only been told how good i am at my job and how they hope i don’t leave for grad school at the end of the year, that the kids can think i’m a little strict but they like me. i had two kids from different courses tell me my class is their favorite part of their day TODAY. i hope your mission to make gender non conforming weirdos think they cannot be beloved and respected should feel like a failure, because we are!! we are capable of knowing our audience, knowing when certain language is appropriate and to always treat children with the respect they deserve. how fucking backwards have you gone to assume my personal business affects my teaching. 1991 called and they want their reactionary homophobic employment laws back.

#from the fields #i also have more to say about this being from the allowance of conservative rad/f/m ideas in egl spaces BUT #another post for when i’m less angry

Hi pook 😢 ( sorry if u don’t like the nickname) but I’ve been reading your series and I am reading Into the Fire (chapter 8) and I’m just wondering why you made Sokka give in so easily when people tell him to control himself that’s not Zuko. Because I would imagine that he would be more stubborn and more focused on what he wants instead of being caring. Even though he’s a caring and kind person I feel like being in prison would make him more selfish and less understanding of other people if than makes sense 😭

Like it just aggravates me when I see Katara try to idk really baby him and control him a bit (not mentally) it just kind of annoys me. Because even though Sokka loves his Sister I feel like he shouldn’t listen to her for real.

But that’s just me because that’s my opinion coming from someone behind has anger issues/ gets angry easily 🤷‍♀️

I love love love this series btw!!!!

I added your other ask too so I could respond to both! Hiiii hellooooo I don’t mind nicknames it’s actually nice because then I can keep anons apart haha

as for your comment about sokka I gotta say you’re probably the first person to tell me sokka isn’t angry enough haha. Which is fine because everyone’s allowed to have their own opinions, but my thoughts on LIAB angry sokka is his intelligence is often battling his emotions. I think sokka is smart enough to know he isn’t supposed to be lashing out at people the way he is or clinging to Zuko so tightly to where they both can’t breathe. i also think he is desperate to be back to his “old self” without actually wanting to be his old self. I do think he is fighting his path to healing every step of the way but even with all the time spent in prison he is still SOKKA. He cares for people he loves his family and he knows from watching his parents growing up what a healthy relationship looks like - his codependency to zuko is probably not it. I doubt it will change much, but when people tell him ‘you need to chill’ Sokka is very much like I FUCKING KNOW BUT I HAVE NO CHILL!!! NONE! ZERO CHILL.

but I can’t imagine sokka wanting to hurt anyone who doesn’t deserve it. Or fighting his friends and family to isolate himself anymore than he already is. I have learned that writing a more emotionally triggering fic does stir up emotions in people and causes them to project onto the characters a bit which is fine but everyone processing trauma differently. & sokka is doing it his own way just like zuko is.

Also…. This is a fanfic and I don’t know if people wanna read sokka being a raging asshole for 50k… so some of the realism in healing gets lost to word count because unfortunately I can’t spend years and 1000k helping these boys overcome their trauma so some of it has to be rushed a little for word count / plot purposes haha.

Liiiiiiisten here pooki-anon you come yell at me anytime about liab I’ll be right here to soak up every word! Thanks for the ask I’m glad you’re enjoying the series!!

#I have tried to take my time with the healing arc #Because we spent SO MUCH TIME dismantling the boys #I wanted to give them the change to be somewhat put back together to where they can at least function #I do agree with you anon! #Sokka could be 10000x angrier he could close up and say fuck off to everyone but it’s just another hurdle to climb over #His anger has been a reoccurring theme because I do write liab sokka angry #He has a right to be angry too!! #But I don’t know if people wanna sit and read sokka going in circles with his anger anymore than he already has #I love love love a good healing arc and I’m trying to take my time with the boys but…. #*word count and plot point and me eventually wanting to work on a project that isn’t LIAB haha* #I do think sokkas a mess right now #But damn it I want him and zuko to snuggle and him and Katara to laugh and his dad and him to pal around and toph and Aang to give him shit #And momo to pull his ears and appa lick him and idk all the fun sokka stuff we miss #I can’t do that if sokka won’t be open to healing and being less angry #Which is why I’m allowing him to progress haha #Ugh now we gotta work on zuko!! -> #Zuko: “why I’m fine??” #Boy is NOT FINE but he is damn good at acting fine haha #Thanks for the ask anon #Ill #give you the tag #Pookianon #Liab #ITF #ask

I like following you but can you go back to reblogging vg gifs soon, its why I’m here

the genocide of the palestinian people is being broadcast online across every social media platform and they are begging us not to look away and turn a blind eye to their suffering doctors and mass graves and murdered children and final words and you want me to post baldur’s gate or whatever. unfollow me and get the fuck out.

#this is such a fucking weird thing to ask too like. no. #letters #edit: no this makes me so angry actually #tumblr loves to suck its own self righteous dick and act like it’s the social justice hub of the world #yet it’s been the most silent of all social medias about palestine and this person’s audacity is just proof of that #i’m sick of this website’s ‘but this is my safe space’ ‘protect your mental health first’ bullshit excuses #just say it with your full chest. say that the palestinian genocide is an inconvenience to you. say it. #i am so happy your guys’ consciences allow you to turn away and pretend it isn’t happening truly /s #but i refuse to be like you and i reject the notion this stupid fucking website has that that is somehow moralizing #the least anyone with the privilege of looking away can do is bear witness. the least. #and personally i cannot stomach being on this website this past week much less posting about anything else. so i won't.

the amount of gen z “leftists” who lack even basic education on the american political system is genuinely astounding and terrifying

#anyone else getting increasingly worried that trump is gonna win again 😃 #as a gen z leftist who has taken 2 college poly sci classes i really need everyone to start being realistic #please do not vote 3rd party in this election #the polls are not the place to try to make a statement. you do that shit on the streets #after voting for the candidate who is the least evil with an actual chance of winning #please just take a moment and recall what we got last time we tried to rally together and vote 3rd party #and think about that but 100x worse because now that man is angry and vengeful #so i’m begging you. vote for joe biden 1 more time and implore the DNC to put forth a better candidate in 2028 #but if we allow donald trump to win that may never even be a possibility #thanks for coming to my ted talk goodnight #politics #2024 election
