this is the last thing I'm going to say on the Duke-Luke matter, because I have so many better things to do with my life and blog time than this, but I got blocked before I could respond...so I'm just going to make one final vent response and put it under the cut because their last response before blocking me was absolutely insane

no you dipshit, I'm not saying you're racist because you want two black characters to interact with each other. I'm saying you're racist because you completely arbitrarily assigned "parent/child" status to two characters who have never canonically interacted with each other and are 4-5 years apart in age just because they're both black. While ignoring all of the characters Duke actually canonically considers to be his mentors and/or parental figures (most of whom are also black!!!!!)

Not to mention pretending like I'm just dumb for "not googling" a couple of interactions in a completely non-canon comic on a post where you mention Tim and Lady Shiva like literally anyone is supposed to think you're basing your shit off of WFA!

idk how you missed the point that badly but frankly I'm glad you blocked me so I don't have to deal with your immensely shitty takes anymore

tumblr keeps recommending me a drawing where scorpia confronts perfuma for leashing entrapta, but it's all treated like a joke. perfuma just says "it was a moment of weakness!!!" instead of, y'know, apologizing. i don't think anyone in the notes pointed out how shitty leashing a neurodivergent person is.

(please don't harass the artist if you find this drawing)

for a fandom that accuses you of supporting incest if you ship luz and hunter, it's VERY weird seeing ppl having no issue with amity seeing lilith as her mother figure... who's literally eda's sister.

One of the (many, many) things that made me emotional watching Barbie, is that the scene where she tells the old lady she's beautiful? I don't think any women in my immediate family got to that age. My mom isn't that old, my grandmothers died of ovarian cancer and complications during childbirth (also, things only afabs experience), and my great grandmothers' states were so bad after the holocaus even if their bodies didn't fail them, their minds did

the thing is there's like, a point of oversaturation for everything, and it's why so many things get dropped after a few minutes. and we act like millennials or gen z kids "have short attention spans" but... that's not quite it. it's more like - we did like it. you just ruined it.

capitalism sees product A having moderate success, and then everything has to come out with their "own version" of product A (which is often exactly the same). and they dump extreme amounts of money and environmental waste into each horrible simulacrum they trot out each season.

now it's not just tiktokkers making videos; it's that instagram and even fucking tumblr both think you want live feeds and video-first programming. and it helps them, because videos are easier to sneak native ads into. the books coming out all have to have 78 buzzwords in them for SEO, or otherwise they don't get published. they are making a live-action remake of moana. i haven't googled it, but there's probably another marvel or starwars something coming out, no matter when you're reading this post.

and we are like "hi, this clone of project A completely misses the point of the original. it is soulless and colorless and miserable." and the company nods and says "yes totally. here is a different clone, but special." and we look at clone 2 and we say "nope, this one is still flat and bad, y'all" and they're like "no, totally, we hear you," and then they make another clone but this time it's, like, a joyless prequel. and by the time they've successfully rolled out "clone 89", the market is incredibly oversaturated, and the consumer is blamed because the company isn't turning a profit.

and like - take even something digital like the tumblr "live streaming" function i just mentioned. that has to take up server space and some amount of carbon footprint; just so this brokenass blue hellsite can roll out a feature that literally none of its userbase actually wants. the thing that's the kicker here: even something that doesn't have a physical production plant still impacts the environment.

and it all just feels like it's rolling out of control because like, you watch companies pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into a remake of a remake of something nobody wants anymore and you're like, not able to afford eggs anymore. and you tell the company that really what you want is a good story about survival and they say "okay so you mean a YA white protagonist has some kind of 'spicy' love triangle" and you're like - hey man i think you're misunderstanding the point of storytelling but they've already printed 76 versions of "city of blood and magic" and "queen of diamond rule" and spent literally millions of dollars on the movie "Candy Crush Killer: Coming to Eat You".

it's like being stuck in a room with a clown that keeps telling the same joke over and over but it's worse every time. and that would be fine but he keeps fucking charging you 6.99. and you keep being like "no, i know it made me laugh the first time, but that's because it was different and new" and the clown is just aggressively sitting there saying "well! plenty of people like my jokes! the reason you're bored of this is because maybe there's something wrong with you!"

#this was much longer i had to cut it down for legibility #but i do want to say i am aware this post doesnt touch on human rights violations as a result of fast fashion #that is because it deserves its own post with a completely different tone #i am an environmental educator #so that's what i know the most about. it wouldn't be appropriate of me to mention off-hand the real and legitimate suffering #that people are going through #without doing my research and providing real ways to help #this is a vent post about a thing i'm watching happen; not a call to action. it would be INCREDIBLY demeaning #to all those affected by the fast fashion industry to pretend that a post like this could speak to their suffering #unfortunately one of the horrible things about latestage capitalism as an activist is that SO many things are linked to this #and i WANT to talk about all of them but it would be a book in its own right. in fact there ARE books about each level of this #and i encourage you to seek them out and read them!!! i am not an expert on that i am just a person on tumblr doing my favorite activity #(complaining)#and it's like - this is the individual versus the industry problem again right because im blaming myself #for being an expert on environmental disaster (which is fucking important) but not knowing EVERYTHING about fast fashion #i'm blaming myself for not covering the many layers of this incredibly complicated problem im pointing out #rather than being like. yeah so actually the fault here lies with the billion dollar industries actually.#my failure to be able to condense an incredibly immense problem that is BOOK-LENGTH into a single text post that i post for free #is not in ANY fucking way the same amount of harm as. you know. the ACTUAL COMPANIES doing this ACTUAL THING for ACTUAL MONEY.#anyway im gonna go donate money while i'm thinking about it. maybe you can too. we can both just agree - well i fuckin tried didn't i #which is more than their CEOs can say

Disappointment

My advisor sighed deeply into his beard.

"Disappointing."

I felt my stomach curl up in knots, too scared to speak.

"Your…contemporaries are capable of accomplishing so much more work in a week than you have shown me in the past month. Why can’t…" He couldn't even finish his sentence and instead punctuated it with another sigh of shattered expectations.

My fear turned to shock. Then anger. You can’t compare me to the others, I thought, how the hell would you expect all of your students to be carbon copy productivity machines? And you know I have been struggling! But all I could say out loud was "I know, I’m sorry, I’ll try harder—"

He cut me off. "Something needs to change. Or else we need to seriously reconsider your ability to continue."

Even though I have heard those words before, they still make me freeze every time. The rest of meeting passed in a blur, with my advisor grateful to discuss the technical aspects of the wizardry instead of the psychological effects of wizardry (though it seems he doubts there even is a psychological component to it). He has always seemed ill-equipped to help a student struggling not with the practical aspects of wizardry but everything else surrounding it.

I was upset long after the meeting. It had been a terrible and difficult year for me mentally, and here he was still expecting the same high level of output from me even though he knew I was not running at the same capacity as the other students. Or maybe he didn't realize. Either way, this wasn’t the first time I had felt that he, or maybe the wizard establishment in general, preferred to ignore the person behind the wizardry in favor of seeing the products of wizardry.

Spite is not a clean or sustainable fuel to work with, but I have run out of options. If I am to complete this training and be free to actually do something in the world, I need to survive and escape.

I'm so goddamn oblivious all the time and sometimes someone pokes their head into my bubble to let me know shit like "You know Kate from work hates your guts, right? She's always rolling her eyes and talking about u" And I wish I was the kinda person who didn't care but it genuinely just makes me sad cause. Like. Why?? I mind my business. I try to be kind and helpful. Hate and dislike takes up so much energy. Why are they using so much energy on me?? I don't even think about them. We never interact. I'm in a different department. They could never see me again if they decided they didn't wanna. And the whole time I thought they were nice. Can't we all just do our jobs and go home. Why it gotta be like this. Why is this everywhere. I don't wanna have beef with anyone I wanna read fantasy fiction and take a nap

#Vent post #I'm so tired #I have never wanted drama it's so pointless #Can't we just be polite #It doesn't seem hard #I don't even talk to anybody here

i've never had such fake, shallow friendships as i have with white, liberal, "queer" friends. people i've supposedly been close with for years consistently left me on read when i texted them at 4am in hospital scared and alone with critically low sats because they didn't have the energy for emotional labour. you have to ask to vent, respect triggers, never ever traumadump, so real conversations are difficult because nobody wants to complain - unless, of course, it's related to identity somehow - you can say you had a bad day because your teacher is transphobic, but not because you had an argument at home or threw up or just didn't feel well - none of it comes from genuine concern but instead the rules and norms within your online community. constant reassurance, validation, knowing there's no possibility of a nuanced discussion on anything other than your approved safe topics. attempts at open communication feel sanitized and are laced with therapy-speak, not reflecting real human emotions, but "i sincerely apologize for crossing your boundaries" because it's ideologically wrong, the undertone is 'please don't make a callout on me', not 'i'm sorry', abuse and manipulation are wrong because they get you ostracised and put on blast publicly by your friendship group so any little disagreement comes with a flurry of reassurance that you aren't an abuser, and they still call you they/them behind your back, they still ask your other friends what they think of your opinion on ace discourse, have you crossed the line yet, can we cut you out yet, it's so fucking tiring and there's no space for real connection or humanity in all of it

#lav.txt #rant #vent #maybe I'm just tired and unmedicated but idk #fuck you to everyone that never supported me at my most vulnerable #but was sure to say they'd always be here

today in art class we had to place newspaper under our artwork to keep the tables clean, and by great ol' chance the paper I got had a story about Aaron Bushnell. Right in clean view for me. I was using the class as some time to chill out amongst some other stresses I have going on today so I didn't stop to read much but I did take some peeks.

There was an opinion piece next to it. Criticizing Bushnell. Saying there's nothing glorious about suicide. I could've laughed. Because obviously there isn't. That's the point.

This isn't glory, this is horrific. It's ugly. It's screaming for the freedom of those who are experiencing worse than what Bushnell did. He says it himself, that his fate was not extreme compared to that of many Palestinians.

Why do you need it to be glorious?

If your sense of who's the good side is the side in better spirits, better health, better mood, better status, your setting yourself to side with the oppressors.

Fuck your comfort. Fuck you.

#vent #Palestine #free palestine #free gaza #aaron bushnell #self immolation #from the river to the sea palestine will be free #Yea I said I wouldn't talk much about it myself and this is really similar to my last post about it but I'm just fucking. Furious.#As a result my wording in here might be muddy. I'm sorry.

I just wanna put it out there that this is a Netflix Live Action ATLA safe space.

Does this mean that I like or agree with every choice the live action made? Definitely not. But it does mean that overall I find the live action interesting to talk about, even when it comes to the stuff I took issue with. It means I'm interested in hearing and sharing critical opinions as well as praise, and I'm interested in interpretations that are different from mine. And I will always try to approach things inquisitively and to judge the show for what it is (which, let's be honest, is basically someone's canon divergent fanfiction put to screen).

But what I'm not interested in is being right, or tearing the show down. So if you're looking for a place to read or share opinions about the live action that skew positive, or that are critical without being angry, or that are relatively neutral with maybe a dab of scientific curiosity, I hope you can find that here.

#natla #netflix avatar the last airbender #live action avatar the last airbender #netflix atla #live action atla #i get why people are upset about the things they're upset about #and i'm not trying to invalidate anyone else's feelings about it #and it's perfectly fine and reasonable to want to vent about things #so this isn't about calling anyone else out for doing that #this is just about the kind of vibe you can expect to see from me here #and the kinda vibe im welcoming into this space #if you liked the LA you'll get no argument from me #even if you *didn't* you'll get no argument from me #this is a no argument zone #but let's chat about it over a cup of calming jasmine tea!#and maybe some cookies and stuff #cuz i think that'd be fun

Theoretically I enjoy living with people but unfortunately when you tell people you're a neuroatypical raccoon with twelve ongoing hobbies, completely random work hours, and a series of admittedly unusual lifelong compulsions they tend to hear that and go "oh haha you're trying to be Quirky okay" and then save their ten million questions and concerns for when you can't run away

#Im venting #Sometimes I HAVE TO sleep on the floor #Sometimes I HAVE TO stand on the coffee table #I own a blowtorch because sometimes I NEED TO USE A BLOWTORCH #What kind of lives are yall leading that you just NEVER HAD AN OOPSIE AND SPILLED BEESWAX IN THE KITCHEN #Like what isn't clicking here #'Why do you have a trumpet if you can't play the trumpets because I'm an ADULT #'The leopard is creepy' your FACE is creepy #Objectively I am aware that the way I do things is Not Normal but it's Normal For Me #And so many people demanding REASONS and it's exhaustingggg #I'm autistic I'm bored and I have ten thousand hobbies and a zest for life #If you don't wanna make paper mache body armor at 3pm on a Wednesday just be open about that #But like #I did warn you #I warn EVERYONE so I KNOW I WARNED YOU #*screeching*
