if you are a reader in any capacity on this hellsite, i BEG of you.
REBLOG FICS IF YOU ENJOYED THEM.
it takes the same amount of time and energy to like a fic as it does to reblog one.
you don’t even have to comment on them if you’re too shy. or if you don’t want fics to take over your main blog— make a side blog just for fics!
the amount of blank blogs that hoard fics in their likes is getting absolutely ridiculous. if you want to be on tumblr to read fanfiction— you have to reblog stuff.
plain and simple.
and for the readers that do reblog, we see you and we appreciate the hell out of you. thank you.
Courtney aka Catneylang shared this song recently (this song : https://open.spotify.com/album/2JqdcyrOqUzCJQOeuJ7h5u?si=w2vSZsRaRPyEntnFeZBypA ) How it depicts so well a CJ au,
They would have mingled a bit but not become, u know, official or anything. Then J started dating Q.
And C… well, was then a jealous and bitter man.
.I’m so tired of constantly having to ‘prove’ a character as aromantic, no matter the coding or the subtext. .A character could even straight up say something like, “I have never been in love, and I am opposed to the concept of romance (for myself). I have never dated/married, nor will I ever” and people will still try to claim them as something other than aromantic. …And when you try to argue your point, it’s for naught, because at the end of the day, the character or the creator has never specifically stated they’re aromantic and people will use that to make the assumption that they will change eventually or to assume it’s because they’re insecure or because because because... .So many people are willing to take any interpretation of a character as long as it isn’t aromantic (especially romance repulsed and non partnering aromantic). .To have a character that is explicitly and unapologetically aromantic, so much so it cannot be ignored or interpreted otherwise, would be amazing.
do you actually view nonbinary people as non-binary or as binary people too scared to come out
this is a wild thing to ask someone who’s very openly not binary. like what even prompted you to send this? even if you didn’t know that i’m not binary trans, what have i said that would lead you to think i don’t believe in nonbinary people? is it just the fact that i’m a trans man and talk about being one on here? because sometimes it really feels like that’s all it takes for some of y’all to just assume i hate nonbinary people, as if those are mutually exclusive categories (which is ironically an exorsexist assumption in itself).
anyway, if it needed to be said, of course i view nonbinary people as nonbinary. it would be very silly of me to feel differently given that i’m not a binary trans person myself and that most of the trans people i’m close to in real life are nonbinary. i would strongly encourage you to ask yourself what it is about me that made you feel the need to ask me this in the first place.
While I do think that Tubbo was a bit over the top today in regards to making light of the lore, I think it’s mainly because he’s tired of this arc and how there isn’t a roleplayable response unless the eye workers permit there to be. It’s frustrating on a viewer and player level for sure.
Does that mean he had to be over the top? No, but I do think its good to keep in mind that Mike also was messing around during the lore today and in the dapper kidnapping stream, Phil did not give a shit that dapper was downed and kidnapped even after being told he was. I can find Tubbo making jokes at the eye workers funny and someone else can find it annoying, I personally had a problem when he kept speaking over Bagi today, he’s a human who does annoying things that I don’t like sometimes.
I think we all get a bit too defensive of our favs (absolutely guilty) and forget that we find other people doing the same thing annoying too. People can respond to lore however they want, especially when it’s impromptu lore like today.
We don’t have to be up in arms about everything and you don’t have to hate on someone for acting how another person acted in the past. Streamers do things we don’t like sometime because (surprisingly) they’re individuals! Who have their own reasons for doing the things they do. Sometimes it’s playing a certain game and sometimes it’s taking lore with a grain of salt. Maybe you like foolishs parenting style and hate Phil’s, that’s valid! Just remember that people can dislike foolishs parenting style too!
TLDR: it’s okay to critique tubbo for how he chose to interact with the lore today or how he interacts with sunny so long as you are okay with people saying the same thing about your streamer
genuinely struggling to feel any excitement about the jo gigs i’m attending thanks to the insane fans who choose to queue even since midnight at the day of the gig
i once read something along the lines of “you have no idea the violence it took to become this gentle.” and i think about that a lot. i mean, there have been so many opportunities and moments where i could’ve turned into those same people that have caused me so much pain and fear. and yet, i chose instead to act with the kindness in my heart. i chose to speak softly and calmly instead of yelling like they did to me. i chose to listen to how they were feeling instead of completely disregarding their feelings. i chose to listen to my heart that’s telling me to be kind instead of mirroring their anger. and that’s not to say that i haven’t been angry or let my emotions take over sometimes. it just means that more often then not, i’ve made an effort to avoid becoming what the others around me have. and i think it’s time to give myself the credit i deserve.
Actually curious as to what people’s general opinion of Ozbert is in this year of 2023. Does shipping them equate to getting hashtag cancelled? Are they still The OTP of the series?? Or are they strictly Platonic Besties For Life. I do not know
It’s weird tho bc obviously if you’ve read the manga you KNOW their situation is very Complicated™️. When they were both the same age it was fine but then Oz got yeeted into the Abyss and time jumped 10 years forward while he was in there for like 3 days and suddenly Gil’s like. 9 years older than him. But then Uncle Oscar still classifies Oz as being 25 even tho he’s physically 15. And then we find out that Oz’s body isn’t even HIS it belongs to Jack so that’s messed up. AND we find out Gil’s actually not just 24 he’s OVER 100 years old bc Baskerville shit. And THEN we find out Oz is actually the true B Rabbit so that makes it so he’s probably even older than Gil is. When we get to the end of the series they’re both canonically confirmed to be hundred(s) of years old so I’m sitting here like. Well,
ALSO looking at these manga panels and official artworks and stuff from the anime I’m like
Well, there’s definitely SOMETHING going on there, that’s for sure,
Where's the WIP Thursday post? Is my Tumblr glitching? /Genq
i didn’t post it actually bc i didn’t finish it. i’m exhausted and overworked and busy and miserable rn bc it’s exam season and winter, and i got overwhelmed and just…stopped posting?? i’m sad and ashamed bc i WANT to be posting. i dunno. i’m skipping my morning class tmrw bc i hate it so i’m praying really extra hard that i’ll have the energy to write tmrw
just finished moving around/reorganizing my entire bedroom. i have cried three times today but now i’m laying in bed, my room smells of roses, and i’m eating french bread. this was not the bipolar hot girl mania i was promised but damn if i don’t do it well
sometimes people are just posting on their blog doing their own thing talking to their followers and then their post blows up so like obviously I don’t expect those to be super polished or anything, but if you’re posting with the explicit intent to educate an audience then like I would appreciate if you supplied links and sources for the shit you’re talking about lol
I think this summer, in addition to building a new catio, I’m gonna try to get the cats out hiking more. This is just a big vent/ramble under the cut.
The last couple years we haven’t been out as much. A part of it is just mental health making it hard to Do Stuff, but also I’m apprehensive about going hiking on my own with the cats. I’m not really concerned about coyotes or bears or elk, but the prevalence of off leash dogs on trails still makes me afraid for my and the cats’ safety. I can do everything right and responsible with my cats and still have someone’s dog chase or attack us— both have happened before and will again if we go out. It’s just frustrating that other people’s irresponsibility and selfishness keeps me from enjoying time outside with my pet. I can only control myself- I can’t control someone’s “””friendly””” dog that is “good” off leash and *only* chases people for 15ft before going back to its owner. It’s not barking and chasing for 50 ft, so it’s fine right?
All that being said, I think I might try to do what I can to better prepare myself and my cats for encounters like that and actually get out again. I can tell Dave misses hiking and being outside, and my mental health has gotten worse staying indoors all the time.
Cat wise I’m gonna try to train the cats’ recall better this spring, and maybe invest in some shorter leashes to keep them closer by on walks. I was also considering getting a hard-shelled cat backpack and seeing if they’d like cycling. Dogs can’t kill them if we’re on a bike…
