#and they say i'm overreacting

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

neurotypical people will be like "yeah loud noises bother me too" and meanwhile i once had to sit in a closet clutching a pillow sob-rocking for 2.5 hours because a fire alarm went off for a few seconds

#this is an extreme example but it says something i think #actuallyautistic #yes many of the sensory issues that bother me are also mildly annoying to other people #the issue is that's what a mild annoyance to you is a cause of pain and extreme distress to me #it's a medical issue that can disrupt my entire day and ability to function--at which point i get told i'm 'overreacting' #and listen that is not how sensory processing disorder works #it's not ME overreacting it's my sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems malfunctioning on a biological level #and buddy you are WELCOME to try arguing with them but i personally have spent years not getting results from that #they are Stubborn and they do not give a Damn what you have to say

You know what's interesting to me? For all people keep claiming at every juncture that perhaps Bells Hells will come around on the gods and see the harm they do (which, as discussed extensively, is, half the time, simply not intervening) not only have they never done so, but also they never quite cross the line into saying the party should join the Ruby Vanguard or aid them - and indeed, they defend against it - so what does this achieve? It feels like they're asking for a story in which the party stands idly by, which isn't much of a story nor, if I may connect this briefly to the real world, a political stance anyone should be proud of.

That's honestly the frustration with the gods and the "what if the Vanguard has a point" conversations in-game. What do we do then? Do we allow the organization that will murder anyone for pretty much any reason that loosely ties into their goals run rampant? The group that (perhaps unwittingly, but then again, Otohan's blades had that poison) disrupted magic world-wide, and caused people who had the misfortune to live at nexus points to be teleported (most, as commoners, without means of return). While also fomenting worldwide unrest?

Those were the arguments before the trip to Ruidus; with the reveal of the Vanguard's goals to invade Exandria, the situation becomes even more dire. Do you let the Imperium take over the planet?

And do the arguments against the gods even hold up? If Ludinus is so angry at them for the Calamity, what does it say that he destroyed Western Wildemount's first post-Calamity society for entirely selfish means? (What does it say about the validity of vengeance as a motivator?) What does it say that Laudna told Imogen she could always just live in a cottage quietly without issue before the solstice even happened? (Would this still be true if the Imperium controls the world?) What does it say that when faced with a furious, grieving party and the daughter she keeps telling herself was her reason for all of this, Liliana can't provide an answer to the question of what the gods have done other than that their followers will retaliate...for, you know, the Vanguard's endless list of murders. (That is how the Vanguard and Imperium tend to think, huh? "How dare your face get in the way of my boot; how dare you hit me back when I strike you.") She can't even provide a positive answer - why is Predathos better - other than "I feel it", even though Imogen and Fearne know firsthand that Predathos can provide artificial feelings of elation. Given all the harm Ludinus has done in pursuit, why isn't the conclusion "the gods should have crashed Aeor in such a way that the tech was unrecoverable?"

Even as early as the first real discussion on what the party should do, the fandom always stopped short of saying "no, Imogen's right, they should join up with the people who killed half the party," it was always "no, she didn't really mean it, she just was trying to connect with her mother." Well, she's connected with her mother, and at this point the party doesn't even care about the gods particularly (their only divinely-connected party member having died to prevent the Vanguard from killing all of them). So they will stop the Vanguard; as Ashton says, the means are unforgiveable. As Laudna says, it's not safe to bet on Predathos's apathy. As Imogen says, she's done running; the voice that she used to think of as a lifeline belongs to someone she doesn't trust. So I guess my question is: if they're stopping the people who are trying to kill the gods (and defense of the gods isn't remotely their personal motivation)...do you think the next phase of the campaign is Bells Hells personally killing the gods? Reconstructing the Aeor tech and hoping none of their allies notice? How does this end? Does your ideology ever get enacted? Or is this entirely moot and pointless and the story ends with Bells Hells saying "well, I'm really glad we stopped the people who [insert list of Vanguard atrocities from above]; none of us follow the gods or plan to, but honestly, the status quo we return to is preferable to whatever nightmare Ludinus had concocted in his violent quest for power and revenge"?

#i've got a lot to do today so I think I'm done posting but #cr spoilers #i called that this particular cohort of fans had empathy only for those like them and were terrified of player agency like. 18 mos ago #and i have never been proven wrong. zero analysis just a constant demand that everyone coddle their feelings and confirm their biases #literally will straight up fabricate lore and cry you're disrespecting a pretend person for not including it in your considerations #absolutely SHIT understanding of actual lore. utter incapacity to follow a logical throughline to its conclusion #it's like. wow. wonder why you're so focused on hypocrisy and you overreact to the word selfish #the reason they hate or fear orym (they say they don't...but that just means they want him to go to a reeducation camp instead of die) #is bc i think they are truly terrified of the idea that people can not just hold opinions that are against theirs but stand fast by them #easier to stan the villain because then they die and you can feel wronged and betrayed and wallow in a sense of continual victimhood #than to like a character who might last long enough to call you the idiot and asshole that you are #but it's also funny bc literally if orym weren't there in the latest convo the conclusion is the same. #ashton's had the same opinion of the vanguard the whole time (and it's not positive) but that's not under scrutiny #probably bc it doesn't allow people to be ghoulish in the most cringeworthy way possible

I think I die a little bit on the inside whenever I see someone call the voice of the broken a simp.

#camren rambles #slay the princess #voice of the broken #I get that it's like a joke #but thats #that's just not what he is???? #he's someone who has been well... broken #his will and wants are completely destroyed and is very able to manipulate into doing things #he mindlessly agrees to whatever the princess (especially the tower) wants because he thinks it's easier to comply than to try fighting back #it hurts less if he just does what she wants #it really made me mad when i would see people say stuff like this when the demo first came out #and it makes me even more mad after playing through the full game #maybe I'm just overreacting but idk

[eeldritchblast]

Hmm.

I decided to at least skim through the IGN interview with Larian myself for the BG3 characters and while yeah Gale's is messed up, I also just wanna point out that it's Not Great to compare a character who is coded as a WOC to a pet dog.

(They even joke that Karlach's writer will "kill you" for saying that. Then do it anyway.)

#karlach #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #can't wait for all the anonymous asks saying i'm overreacting to this one //sarcasm

I have to say it is wild as shit going from the Supergirl fandom where huge swathes of it insisted that Lena was super totally completely in the right for going full supervillain and trying to kill Kara and also mind-control the entire world because she kept being Supergirl a secret from her, to the MAWS fandom where people are insisting Lois is a total bitch for daring to be a little upset that Clark lied to her about being Superman even though she'd mentioned that she has issues with people, including her dad, lying to her in the past, and Clark keeps disappearing during dangerous situations, making her incredibly worried about him when this whole time, he was Superman.

#it's also wild finding myself on completely opposite sides of this debate each time around! #in the supergirl instance i was totally on kara's side because lena kept being xenophobic towards aliens and also kara is entitled to keep #secrets! and for fuck's sake lena is allowed to be a little mad but going full supervillain is... a slight overreaction i might say?! #while here with maws i'm like lois is kind of right to be mad though? #i mean it makes sense why clark is keeping this secret of course but it also makes sense for lois to be mad! she's not being childish and #she's not overreacting and she's certainly not being a bitch! #just say you hate women and leave. #s says some words #fandom bullshit #maws spoilers

I got to borrow a wheelchair once (because a trip required a lot of walking and there's only so long I can walk even with my cane and brace) and I felt so fucking free tbh. I couldn't completely a handle of rolling the wheels by myself, but when I did, it was something else. I might invest in a wheelchair in the future. While I'd probably still use my cane more, it'd be nice to have that option when I simply can't.

#I'm still getting over the imposter syndrome #I actually just went several weeks without my mobility aid to try and ''snap myself out of needing it'' because someone actually #convinced me i was actually overreacting to ''normal mild pain'' #and guess what #THE PAIN GOT WORSE AND I HAD LESS DAYS WHERE MY LEG WAS MORE ABLE😭 #so yeah that was a wake-up call #last time i let someone say whether or not i'm in enough pain to use a mobility aid. #regular buwan blog

tbh, i don't get how we can get from "q!bad is good at tricking people about being 100% trustworthy/honest and plenty of people have and will continue to believe him at his word because that's just how he displays himself" to "MAN q!Phil is always so bad at reading every single person ever, he's so naive and stupid and foolish what's wrong with him?" i mean, huh?

#qsmp fandom neg #<-just to be safe i'm not that pressed just kinda side-eyeing some folks #dunno why fans are shocked a character w/ a limited pov doesn't understand others #as much as viewers/characters who've spent more time with them do? #yes he's not always great at reading ppl. man came from hc ppl skills aren't his forte #but the way fans have been insulting qphil/his intelligence bc he's not the best at that is umm #if i say the language some fans use feels ableist they'll think i'm overreacting but....

[whirliko]

just a reminder that i do look at my activity and see the tags yall use when u rb my stuff

#someone reblogged my jellybean hoodie with the tags 'i love simlish kpop cc but those s*z swatches are getting deleted' #which is like #it's fine to dislike a kpop group #(although i think this person is an anti which is just embarazzing to me) #and it's also 100% fine to delete swatches #i do it for every single piece of cc i download in order to keep my mods folder as small as possible #but saying that in the tags feels very weird and unnecessary to me #i know it's not directed at ME but it feels like it because i'm the one who spent time making those swatches lol #not to mention my friend who spent time making the simlish album covers which is way more work #AND my other friend who made the simlish maniac logo #maybe i'm overreacting and being too sensitive - given that this comment was not directed at me in any way #but it just annoyed me #that being said -- i do also see the positive comments and they make me super happy #so thank you to all the nice people and fuck you to this weirdo

"sorry you had to deal with the undertale fandom" and the "dealing" is people saying that the trans woman character is a trans woman

ok so. I know everyone has their opinion on how whiny Koth is and that's a beaten dead horse but I think a huge under-looked part of it is how the game engine animates anger. take a look at Koth's face here, the famous frown which regularly puts players off-- including me at one point, because he looked absolutely livid over the news of a breakup, which startled me at the intensity of his expression.

makes you think wow this guy's emotional, doesn't it? and as a reaction to a few small conflicts, it doesn't feel good.

but then take a look at how KOTXX animates a frown on Lana and Theron:

INCREDIBLY ANGRY OVERREACTIONS.

SWTOR tends to make anger appear as a bulging of the eyes, which is a little terrifying, since it signifies extreme rage. Case in point:

I think a huge part of why Koth appears so abrasive to the playerbase is his expressions: he is overanimated and frowns with his entire face in a way that is almost comical in the same way the other companions frown *far* too much to the point of looking like TF2 caricatures, which makes him seem far pettier than he actually is.

I really believe his delivery would be helped if expressions weren't so strong and made subtler in SWTOR's engine, but he already was at a disadvantage with being made to disagree more often and therefore use that frown more than the others, which made his image worsen in player eyes. (Though his popularity shouldn't hinge on whether he agrees or not).

The point is, even as someone who likes the character even I was thrown off by how furious he looked to innocuous lines. His voice delivery was fairly neutral. His face wasn't. Would the same vehement dislike towards him exist if he wasn't animated in the same way?

#part of it is bias. we know this already as well #and an unforgiving playerbase who pushes back harder on a character who reacts strongly #i'm not saying he can't frown or show his anger #but i'm saying it's cartoonishly shown and sort of....doesn't line up a lot of times #if it wasn't such a twisting of the face (which we see plenty on the PC as well) #i think he wouldn't look like he's overreacting when his voice isn't #swtor #swtor meta #koth vortena #also getting that face in regards to a breakup was. a little scary #i wish he'd gotten a sad expression instead #this pic actually isn't that bad since i couldn't find my screens of him and just got it in google #but he does frown a lot more in other cs i think people remember though. or look it up on yt and try #comparing his expression to his voice lines

#had a terrible night last night and am having an awful morning so far bc.

Either the NYP fucked up with the tone (possible) or Daniel fucked up. I don't think this one is on Max fans completely misinterpreting that article when it uses "choice words" and "sarcastically" and nothing about friendly joking.

#this did not come across as 'obviously joking' #it is funny how daniel fans seem to be overreacting (none of you have friends! why is he being cancelled? you're all stupid) to max fans su #supposedly overreacting #and that's all i'm going to say about it #other than i'm not cancelling just annoyed #*THEN
