#and call them out when necessary

seeing people's takes about the whole watcher situation is just a bit.... mind-boggling.
i think the apology they posted was good in the sense that they admitted to fucking up and walked back on their decision, and i think the model they've settled on now is a lot more reasonable (having content be released earlier for those who choose to subscribe), but like.... that doesn't mean that no one should've ever been mad at them in the first place???
like seriously, why does it seem like people are looking at a "good" apology and thinking "huh! they sure did apologize well! i guess that means that it was ridiculous for people to be mad in the first place! no one should have ever complained!!". if no one complained, they wouldnt have walked back their decision! they would've kept going with their dumb completely paywalled option!
and thats not even getting into the fact that their financial woes seem to come from completely mismanaging their money - hiring people when they can not afford to and spending more money on "high quality productions" when they cant afford to.... these are core issues that im not sure will be completely fixed by this? but idk.
also, this situation i think has really helped my own self come to terms with the fact that i do not enjoy many aspects of their content. i sorta already knew that considering i can not remember the last ghost files video i watched because i find that shit incredibly boring and overproduced, and even things like too many spirits have become a chore to watch bc they decided to extend the Not That Funny drink making portion when i just wanna hear some funny spooky stories.
anyway i guess my ultimate point here is: im glad they acknowledged they fucked up, but i also am not sure how interested i am in their content anymore in the first place. oh well

i think one of the most disappointing things is to see that your childhood friends have grown up to represent the kind of people you're disappointed in
#had a friendship break up w like one of my entire friend groups of six ppl?#found out that one of the girls in our friend group had sent screenshots of our private conversation about smth I was hurt over#to a gc with our other friends (but not me ofc)#and they all proceeded to talk shit about me :// I swear the way my stomach dropped when the friend I was having the convo w#sent me screenshots of what our mutual friends were saying about me#she knew how much it would hurt me but still did it just to prove a point (though I'm certain she misrepresented our conversation + my word#to them considering she blocked out what she had initially said to them lol)#my stomach hasn't dropped like that since high school#which is exactly where I thought we left this kind of deceitful behaviour. like how are you guys twenty one and still sending screenshots#and talking bad behind only one (1) friend's back when you know she can't defend herself in that space#I immediately texted our collective gc to explain a text she had sent but failed to give context for#then told them if I'm as selfish as they say I will leave this friend group. and then I left that gc#I also texted two friends who I knew were talking shit and I sent them the screenshots that first “friend” sent and pointed out how#she blocked out what she said so I'm suspicious that she skewed our conversation so they (the two other “friends”) should be wary#I told them I understood it was fair game to stoop. this low considering neither of them tried to reach out to me to hear my side#or defend me + my privacy#for context: the original argument was me voicing out that I was upset bc that first “friend” had invited and planned with with our friend#group an event that landed on my birthday without checking in with me if I was planning to spend time with them that day#and she kept defending herself and saying she didn't know I'd plan smth (probably bc my bday is two months away lmao) and she said#the event they'd be attending is just as important and necessary as being there for my birthday?? it's literally just a party her brother#(who none of us are close to lol) is DJing at. and I brought up how I'm their close friend (not her brother) and it's not fair to call#it equally necessary. but I suspect she skewed what I said greatly considering all of our friends started calling me selfish and unfair#but yeah v v crazy and hurtful and just astonishing#salmaspeaks

I need to see corroded coffin trying parkour and being so abysmally awful at it. I need to know that they ‘practice’ while setting up and breaking down for a gig, jumping over amps and drums and bar stools and falling every. Single. Time. I need to have them getting up from the floor with arms raised like they stuck the landing and all yelling at each other. I have to see them falling on their backs or their face and not getting up but sticking a thumbs up in the air before the next person makes their attempt and also failing. I need them to tell people they do parkour and anybody seeing them shaking their heads and walking away because ‘what are they doing?’ While corroded coffin are slapping each other’s backs and gripping each others shoulders and leap frogging (and failing obviously) and just having fun.

Absolutely love your art. I want to nom it.
Also, Hollow Heads Siblings my beloveds,,,
Theyre the doomed siblings ever its not even funny
#Oouugh i have thoughts abt the hollowhead siblings. How theyre so intricately tied to eachother since their birth but they'd be#Eachother'd downfall. Esp when it's Dark and his relationship with the others#Dark would never understand what chosen went through. Mainly bc i think chosen is used to fighting his internal battles on his own#While he was in captive as an ad blocker. He loves Dark. He's grateful for Dark bc without him he wouldn't be free#But Dark isnt exactly someone reliable enough for Chosen to get the necessary healing he wants and needs#But that won't stop Dark from trying to fix him. Creates the virus for revenge. As chosen watches his brother spiral and spiral#As he watches him drift further away. Unable to get him back without a shouting match. As he watches with his heart heavy and cracked at-#Their stiffed interactions and strained relationship. He can't remember a time where they shared geniune laughs.#Then tsc coming came and changed everything.#Because this is someone who went through Chosen's pain albeit a lil differently. Someone who knows. Someone who /understands/. And this-#Someone is so much more younger than them and had to go through that pain in such a short amount of time since their birth#He sees himself in them. And he's rather walk up to alan demanding to get his hands cuffed than let tsc fester in that pain.#So tsc became chosen's priority. Healed eachother in many ways than one and are at echother's beck and call if need be.#As for Dark. I think he'd manipulate tsc into using him for his revenge. After stalking out his code and finding out about his potential#And TSC cant help but fall for his manipulations. Since this person is very very important to Chosen and they want so badly to impress-#Them both. They agreed and overtime grew to love eachother. And overtime Dark shifted his goals just a tad bit. Getting TSC more and more-#Involved. Since hey if Chosen doesn't like touching alan with a 10 ft pole why not let this kid do. And TCS agrees to this thinking that-#This is it. This is can finally heal them completely. Finally out of sight and out of mind. Finally can't live without the pain lingering#And chosen watches them with a sense of deja vu. At loss at what to do and so so afraid to lose two of his lil siblings#Then shit hits the brick UBSJDBSJSN#They make me so ill im not even kidding when i said theyre so so very very doomed!!!!!!!!!#This is abt the au btw BAHHAHAHABHA

It's a really heartwrenching sequence as it's happening but looking back at the part where jgy grabs jin ling as a hostage in guanyin temple I always crack up when he starts to assure everyone that he really likes a-ling, actually! He practically raised him, he really doesn't want to hurt him so don't worry and please just do as he says.
A-yao. Sweetheart. The point of taking a hostage is that the people you're negotiating with believe you're going to kill the hostage so you can use their wellbeing as a bargaining chip. Saying "Oh yeah I really like this hostage I don't want to hurt him" kind of ruins the point of a hostage. What are you doing?

sorry okay im rewatching whole cake w a friend and got obsessed with the vinsmokes this time around okay. sorry. however i am a liker of themes and motifs and doomed characters. sorrey.
#i just looovvee the ways the different families this arc are portrayed. big moms as an empire to be expanded.#beges as a loyal bond and structured organization#and ofcourse the vinsmokes as an army bound only by blood and not by love. and a commodity to be used/force to be strengthened#like sure they're all related but like. they do not act like a family even in the slightest. they don't even seem to really like each other#LOL just even w the charlottes you get the feeling they care about each other to an extent (ie katakuri and brulee or chiffon and lola)#but we rarely see any of the vinsmokes hold a conversation with each other let alone act like siblings.#(unless you count them like. abusing sanji as sibling bonding)#which i why i OBSESSSS over when reiju gets hurt you see one of them call out in concern.#n the (admittedly anime only) scene of yonji like helping a little. bear guy get a fruit off a tree. that shit cute as hell.#you get these like. moments of humanity with them that seep through the cracks of the carefully-constructed image of the Evil Germa Army yk#the way all the siblings turned out and the ways they compliment and contrast each other makes me think ab what could have been you know.#iirc reiju wound up how she is because her mother encourgaged her emptions and instilled a sense of humanity in her. proving they are all#capable of having that sense of morality the others just...didnt get it 1) bc sora died when they were so young and#2) bc judge had a VICE GRIP on them.#so they were doomed from the start.#their father wanted a perfect unfeeling obedient army of soldiers and he was going to get it by any means necessary#even if said soldiers are supposed to be his children#i do think the vinsmokes are deeply unforgivable but i also recognize tht like...they were victims of circumstance.#smthn smthn nature vs nurture#in another life i think they would have kicked ass together#idk im fuuucked upp off the green tea rn yk how it goes.....#.txt#idk how to be coherent abt them they just make me feel like pacing around my room with my head in my hands#its been said better by ppl with better grasps on character analysis than me but. abuse victims who suck. and are also assholes.#you mean everything to meeee

#I said in the tags of a different post that I’d been personally hurt by someone’s abuse of grace#(and boy have I ever)#but the story isn’t just mine and none of us involved want it all online#but suffice it to say that there’s so much potential hurt involved in someone expecting to do whatever they want#and that grace will cover it#and not just for the one who expects to do just that and go to heaven and finds out (hopefully before it’s too late)#that what they had wasn’t God it was an idol#but anyway the *real* point of this post is to say look it’s so easy to have either “love accepts you as you are” or “love is tough”#when in truth if you stick solely to “love accepts you as you are” you miss out on a tough but necessary call to holiness#to become more like Jesus (and God knows I need that)#but then if you stick solely to “love is tough” it’s often discouraging and doesn’t have the understanding that sanctification is a proces#that we are His workmanship#and He doesn’t give up on us as easily as we give up on people or things#and I guess what I’m thinking about is that#even if you’re perfectly balanced (is that even possible in this life?) there will be people who say you’re doing it wrong#because they see more grace than they think you should be extending#but also some who see too much emphasis on holiness#and it might be their own conscience that pushes them away from that#ANYWAY this is a long rambling way of saying#you don’t know how God will use your efforts to save anyone but be assured it is God that saves people not us#what does the Lord require of thee but to act justly to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God?#Reminder to self#Christianity

What Tragic Horror Character Trope Are You ?
Tumblr media
Frankenstein's Monster
This plight is the simplest of them all: you did not ask for this. You were never given a choice. No part of yourself feels human, just a collection of traits you've picked up from mirroring anyone you could, even the people you meet through a television screen. It's alienating to live that way- yet someone has called you the alienating one. Maybe too many people to count. Maybe they treated you so uncomfortably inhuman that it's all you can understand now, or you've dug yourself into such a deep hole in an attempt to keep safe that you can't remember a person living in the home of your body at all. Being alive is confusing and painful and lonely and loud but living is all there is to being human- you're already there. Just take air into your lungs and breathe. Close your eyes and picture a beautiful sky. You made that. You painted that yourself.

y'know I think about this tweet often. I don't think truer words have ever been spoken....
#had a whole mini rant that i wrote and then deleted lol..........#no one else may know his shitty he was but i will always know and i shall absolutely not forgive or forget#however i do still start seething on occasion when i remember that after we broke up for years i never thought of him at all#except when i pass his street on occasion bc he happens to live nearby which is very ughhh but it's mostly whatever#and then out of the blue in early 2021 he texted and CALLED me (i did not answer. what a fucking jumpscare jfc)#to tell me he had been stalking my spotify playlists and saving them and#even had the fuuuuucking audacity. to think they were a personal message in a bottle just for him.#we had not spoken in 3 years. can u imagine the absolute lack of fucking common sense or logic. the fucking audacity of men is unparalleled#and then i had nightmares and paranoia about him for the next like full year. like wtf.#also i think i said 2021 but actually that happened in 2022 so we actually hadn't spoken in four full years.#where on gods green earth woild he get the idea. that my public spotify playlist.#was dedicated to my terrible obsessive bully of a boyfriend from fucking high school.#i just can't even fucking fathom the mental gymnastics necessary.#anyway. i ended up ranting anyway#it just makes me so angry that i didnt think about him for years and then he so efficiently once again ruined my life#bc he had been incredibly obsessive and so I had reason to worry he might just show up at my house at some point.#i ended up ranting anyway. what can u do.#anyway. I hope he's having a terrible time. he deserves it.

Love it when I’m ridiculed for showing passion during the discussion of politics 🫡
This idea that politics and any discussions surrounding important topics such as Zionism, genocides, racism, classism, and anything that might bring discomfort needs to be sterile and completely dispassionate is absurd. The inclusion of empathy and compassion and anger and sadness and joy are what enable us to talk about these things and to realize that what is happening is harmful and the denial of these feelings is simply another form of silencing. It is basically saying that if there is feeling attached then the point being made is irrational and therefore incorrect. Whatever facts, empirical or otherwise, are immediately discredited due to the tone of voice or facial expression that might be present.
Also, it’s another way of closing off conversation from people. If you can’t hold a conversation without being ridiculed, then people are less inclined to speak about it. I understand that important conversations are uncomfortable and must be so to be productive, but it can be disheartening to constantly experience disrespect, even though we know that conversations must keep happening.
I’m just sensitive though, so what do I know.

I really, really hate how this site (as well as Twitter) openly shames and insults straight women for... well, being attracted to men. They treat them as though they were committing a fucking crime against humanity.
#text#a woman can't be even say she likes men without you freaks attacking her and making her feel bad for it#treating men as if they were less than human beings and not deserving of basic respect#and don't come at me with historical oppression argument that's a myth (for the most part)#all it takes is a woman that wants to genuinely get along with men and wants a relationship with them for you fucks to guilt shame her into#'rethinking' her choices and mentality#i swear man what the hell is wrong y'all#and i'm not talking about these goofy ass males that be bitching and whining about women#i'm talking about the solid good men#yes i love men and yes i'd love to have a relationship with one#but that makes me a retard or evil by tumblr's standards#'girls are so much better uwu' shut the hell up man. i'm tired of goofy ass shit like this#feminists be like 'we don't hate men' and then go ahead to say the most misandristic shit i''ve ever heard#this isn't just the radfems it's feminists in general. no feminism is good at all and has never been#radical feminist ideology is feminism in its most vicious and hateful form#and i don't go aroung kissing the asses of men on the internet. i'll call the fellas out on their bs when it's necessary#so don't accuse me of babying these men because that's the last thing i actually wanna do. society has been doing that for the past 5 to 6#decades and look at where that has gotten the men now#but i also will call out women on their bs when it's necessary. i don't do double standards#everybody is getting fire from me#i'm tired of y'all

Man, I've got around 5+ Sonic fics in my head and most of them involve Eggman bullying my OCs to certain degrees, some worse than others.
At the same time, though, they also involve Sonic and the gang making new friends X3

sometimes i think of leon in instructor settings for the dso and i really just think, as an instructor? he's a complete asshole, not in a vindictive sense but above drill sergeant levels of on your case, constantly, he's drawing blood without apology. and this isn't just because i enjoy writing leon as being standoffish and at times outright combative, but i think alot of it comes not only from a point of his first day being thrown into the hellscape that was the raccoon city outbreak, and feeling extremely underprepared as anyone should, but also looking back on it through the years and thinking: there's so many moments as a rookie i should have died, instead of the experienced officers before me. as well as freshly after that, keeping in mind a.u.p.i.t (anti-umbrella pursuit and investigative taskforce) was referenced to be sabotaged & corrupted by those involved with umbrella at a government level (likely simmons's organization The Family), thinking of leon's special ops training and how he refers back to it as an experience that nearly killed him, the way that leon describes punishing missions in the same breath as training makes me think that this was more a trial-by-fire approach, with leon and other operatives being sent repeatedly on what was intended as suicide-missions with training sessions on-site just as often as in between. personally for my leon i don't abide by the remake's decision to have krauser as his instructor, but thinking all the same that leon worked alongside people with the same dispositions and views as krauser routinely, his instructors likely had the same natures that krauser displays during operation javier and interactions in re:4.
i don't think leon should be instructing or training anybody at all, his traumatic experiences endured while he was a rookie leaves too much chance that he would end up projecting, (he could have a "flashback" moment connected to his ptsd, an episode of loss of awareness of his surroundings and mental displacement, actively thinking he's back in raccoon city when in reality he's on dso grounds) (or trying to protect his rookies by being far too harsh on them in an effort to prepare them, putting them through unreasonable conditions that could justify as genuinely harmful if not physically certainly mentally) and possibly continuing a cycle of superior abuse he learned from and experienced while in a.u.p.i.t, (i don't think it would get that far, nor that leon's nature and moral compass would allow that to happen, i think it gets close until leon recognizes) but i think it would be unlikely that he would be given another choice considering leon will not live forever and the industry demands and needs more agents to tackle the spread of bioterrorism worldwide. it's just a lawsuit waiting to happen.
