#and verbal directions but like

[buggachat]

(random s5 finale musings) tbh I don't think Marinette chose to keep The Secrets™ from Adrien because Gabriel asked her to. I feel like Marinette keeping secrets like that is so consistent with her character; she hates giving people bad news, she hates rocking the boat, she hates upsetting people, she always chooses to keep any 'controversial' information to herself for as long as she can get away with (examples: bubbler scarf, telling Queen Bee she was benched, confessing to Adrien, warning Chat Noir about Scarabella or Rena Furtive, never told Chat Noir about Chat Blanc, etc) that I just totally believe she would've done it either way. She was even already having nightmares about Adrien hating her for finding out she defeated his father, so I feel like Gabriel's request was moreso giving her a go-ahead than it was a primary deciding factor, yknow?

#ml s5 spoilers #tbh half the time when thinking about it I forget that gabriel asked her to do it at all #because it just feels like such a Marinette™ thing to do to me lol #to be fair maybe I'm downplaying it? I do think Gabriel's plea struck some emotional chord with her too and helped push her that direction #but again I. totally believe she'd do it either way #and I do strongly believe that her decision is moreso ''I don't want to hurt Adrien'' than it is ''I want to honor Gabriel's final wish'' #she loves to avoid verbal/emotional problems and hoooo boy idk a worse verbal/emotion problem than #telling your boyfriend that his entire life is a lie and that he's not entirely human and that he was abused and controlled and puppeteered #all his life and also that his father was a terrorist and that she saw his mom's corpse in the basement #I mean. I don't think I'd have the emotional maturity to break that to someone either and I'm not.... FOURTEEN.... LOL

why did the 1957 snow queen have to come for my heart with the little robber girl like that

she lets gerda go and just EXLPODES in a whirlwind of rage and grief, slashing the ropes of all her animal captives right and left, chasing them away, yelling, freeing them, falling down and just... cries there all alone... she can't keep them anymore. she can't stand seeing them caged. she couldn't keep gerda and now she doesn't want to keep any of them either

when the critters paused and went back to her. the close up of her hand as a bunny tries nuzzling it, only for her to wave it away, only for the animals to stay with her anyway

it hurt good. im a little throat tight just thinking about it

not someone trying to call maya an abuser to diss lucaya like... she gave him a few nicknames. the entire show all she did was give him nicknames and that was pretty much the entire extent of her teasing him. and he gave back equally in their dynamic too. yes it's probably unkind to call people nicknames especially when they express discomfort with it i'll admit that much, and lucas didn't seem to be too happy about it (honestly most of the time he was fond of this habit too and enjoyed the experience hence "putting thought into their little game") but that does not equate to abuse bestie! that's an extreme place to go just because you don't like a ship akdjfjfjfj

and it's admittedly mean to make fun of someone's heritage, but even that didn't really go to a level where it became uncomfortable either. lucas is from texas and maya made occasional jokes about it based on stereotypes? which may not be that great but this is a show about middle school characters and while i'm not saying maya's actions are okay and acceptable, she is a literal child! i guarantee y'all were just as annoying and mean when you were in middle school XD

#and a case can hardly be made for verbal abuse either bc disney would never go to that kind of extreme and excuse that behavior #the channel is directed towards children and literally 100% of the episodes end with a lesson/bad behavior being punished #also the post i'm referencing compared maya to Sam from icarly and her behavior in her relationship with freddie #like she's the one that went far enough to make it uncomfortable not maya!!! #sam was the one being genuinely unkind and mean and even going so far as to bring physical violence into their interactions #a case can be made for sam's abusiveness but not maya lmfao #was maya wrong for some of her behavioral choices?? probably but abuse is not the correct word by far XDDD #anna speaks #girl meets world #lucaya #maya hart

i apologize for sending this out of the blue but i am very sleep deprived and emotional so <3 you are one of the nicest people on this website and i love seeing your thoughts in my and everyones tpn art its always so sweet and insightful. Okay thats all ty 💞

idk about that but

appreciate all the people who tolerate me getting overly excited over a children's series in reblog tags and in the main tag 💖💝💗

#doctor told me the brainrot was terminal but I'm having fun <3 #sepiamestus #FSS Asks #FSS Chatter #there's always the debate over whether going over what I like about a work is obvious to the artist #like “yeah dumbass I know; I made it that way” #which is fair lol but in this medium we've chosen to interact in without a number of visual and verbal cues for added nuance #usually just end up going for it to be direct and honest #and worst that could happen is a person blocks me for being annoying lol #people curating their own online experiences and whatnot #but again ty Ruby this is v sweet <3

hi!! im really sorry if this has been asked/said before, im not good at reading through things very well. you said there will be barruni content in the next volume, which is awesome sauce!! :33 barruni in love forever and always <33 although, id just like to ask (if i can) about the way carrie and unis relationship is going. while im mostly impartial to carruni, i wonder how things are going to go if theres going to be barruni content in this next volume.. if you cant answer thats also ok

im sorry if this doesnt make sense <:) its really hard to put into words

There is drama between the 3 of them relating to Carrie being protective of her but Carrie and Uni's romantic relationship isn't explicitly mentioned directly, but they do share some affectionate moments with each other that have clear romantic implications. In other words, their romantic relationship itself doesn't really affect or have a huge role in the volume's plot or Barry and Uni's developing relationship if that's what you're asking

#one of them is like. so direct. but it still doesnt say Oh They're Romantically Involved verbally #carruni #answers

As an avid birder who also wants a dog someday, how did you deal with Mav while birding? Assuming you had him with you :) is his instinct to watch rather than chase, or did you have to do work with his prey drive? Also, any breeds that you (or anyone else) think would be content to just watch birds with me? :P

Hi this ask brought me SO MUCH GLEE.

Maverick, my beloved friend, was a terrible awful no good birding partner. I worked really hard on impulse control but it still was no match for his (enormous, untamed) prey drive. If we were on foot, we were not birding (with the exception of chance encounters). He was a phenomenal road birding partner; when I drove back roads looking for birds I would let him ride shotgun and he was great at that. It brought him joy to watch birds, but it would have taken so much work to turn him into a pleasant birding partner on foot. I would very much not recommend a brittany for calm outdoor recreation.

Pike (a rat terrier) is a phenomenal birding partner. I feel like the more innately engaged and biddable breeds are probably a better bet if it's important to you.

#about mav #mav memories #mav was my best friend but he was EVIL #it was still worth it imo #but he was a bad hiking companion and a bad birding partner #he was too energetic too balls to the wall GO too spirited #if he was off leash i was constantly giving him verbal directions #and if he was on leash i had to leash handle so i didnt have a free hand #he had a good down stay #but it was mostly for chance encounters more than like a full birding trip #miles can attest he tried birding with mav on a waistbelt a couple times #(it was not a pleasant experience for either of them) #this brought me a lot of joy to think about and write thank you #i adored that evil little dog

something something the frequency with which peter parker angrily wishes death upon people in his inner thoughts, a la "diebullseyediebullseyediebullseyediebullseye" (asm#596)

(he's pretending to be venom with a suit made of unstable molecules)

"Kill Johnny Storm! Dispose of the body!! Collect insurance!!!" (ff#17) etc...

this of course is only two (mostly) humorous examples but there are definitely more lmao

#and not counting verbal death threats (''ask me nicely.'' ''it takes three seconds.'' ''KILL YOU'' etc) #to be fair that last one is when he is deprived of his intelligence in non-stop and therefore loses his self-control #because... i mean mental awareness is kind of a key factor to that very strict self control he holds so tightly at all times #but it isn't like a threat conjured from nowhere it's just a threat that means he is no longer holding back #nadia reads comics #and of course not including the times he has actually been responsible for someone's death or grievous bodily harm... #i'm pretty sure breaking someone's arm in half while they're swimming in a body of water counts as intent to kill tbqh #but there are more direct examples... wolverine's friend... asm annual no.5... that guy he strangled and then frightened to death... #my little me—no i can't call him that it's too wooby #my handsome manslaughterer #did tumblr remove... underlining...

Just applied for a summer childcare position (like for a camp type thing) that pays 20–28 dollars an hour based on qualifications (I should be towards the end of that scale because I work in a school; and the only requirement the job lists is to be 16 and have experience with children). So hopefully they’ll consider me. That would be wonderful.

#I hate applying for jobs so much. Everyone uses a different website that makes you sign up for newsletters that clog your email #that you have to manually unsubscribe to #But yeah that’s way more than I get paid as a para lol #which is kind of sad because being a para or teacher is a lot more strenuous and complex than supervising kids during structured play #Because usually the kids enjoy stuff like rock climbing and swimming #so you don’t have to guide them through ten different layers of mental gymnastics to complete their work #or sometimes physically keep them from leaving the learning area after every problem they complete #(of course I do the last thing very gently; and I don’t like having to carry kids from under tables back to their seats #but they’re not going to learn anything if they stay underneath tables all day long… that kind of defeats the purpose of being in school. #I give a lot of verbal warnings before too. Some kids just refuse to learn all the time regardless of their mood because it’s funny to them #Anyway: Kids should not be playing video games past bedtime on a fucking Oculus Rift #Like seriously the tech withdrawal in some of these babies is palpable #Horrifying #Anyway this summer job will be a breeze if I get it #Hopefully no one will be begging me for chromebooks during rock climbing #(I know it sounds like I’m irritated with the kids; and I am. But it’s more irritation with their parents letting them become addicted #to iPads for the sake of convenience; and also frustration directed at capitalism that makes the parents so tired #that they let the iPad babysit their kids so they can rest. It’s the whole system man. It’s fucked.)

What do you think Sirius’s anger was like pre-Azkaban, do you think his temper ran cold or hot? Like, you know those people that get dangerously quiet and calm when angry? That’s what I think of as cold, while those that yell or outwardly display their anger are the hot kind of angry.

hello! i always err on the side of cold temper for sirius but i do think that he was more…brash, quick to anger, when he was younger. partly bc of those pesky teenage boy hormones, partly bc he didn’t really have as good a control on it, but also bc i think—he had a lot of things to be mad about and not many outlets for it. it’s like, when ur a teenager u feel really helpless and out of control, right? i think that would hit him particularly hard.

also, hc territory, but i think he was very powerful magically. and magic’s sentient to some degree so i can see it like,,,whipping around him and lifting people’s cloaks and blowing their hair and shit. like, when he’s feeling things intensely, when he’s angry—u can tell bc it’s like air is vibrating around him.

can i ever see him as a hot kind of angry? hmm perhaps only with his family, because i think people express their anger more vividly at home (or atleast in my experience) and that’s the only place i can see him shouting but even that stops when he gets older.

#sirius black #angry sirius for me will always be—blank poker face. dead eyes. direct almost threatening stare. #lips pressed together and toes clenching and neck being cracked #speaking in a low dangerous tone. resorting to verbal insults. #walking away #bc the other person is not *worth* ur anger (and that being more hurtful than words shouted at someone) #like. i can’t see sirius resorting to ~fisticuffs usually #even in like an extreme case i think his magic would lash out first #and subconsciously fulfill his violent desires #but he’ll wrestle it under his control bc he values that #but that’s again hc territory #pen’s asks

Do you guys think that if Yang hadn’t stepped in front of Blake while Ruby marched towards her, that Ruby might have gotten in Blake’s face? Like screamed at her at a closer range? Maybe even say more hurtful words directed specifically to Blake and less about the new Bee relationship

Also would it have affected Blake more? Cause thinking about her past, she had a verbally abusive partner she looked up at that wore red and Black, similar to Ruby’s color scheme, could it have possibly triggered a memory ?

i didn’t even ask my mom to take me to the dentist this time because she wasn’t very nice about it the last 2 times so i just mentioned i had to go last week and again yesterday and she didn’t acknowledge what i said either time and i woke up like an hour before i needed to leave and was getting ready, etc and literally omw from the door 10 minutes earlier than i even needed to (which is 20 minutes earlier than i need to to get there at appt time) and my mom told me bye and then asked where i was going and i said the dentist and she was like “oh did you want me to drive you” so i said no bc the baby wasn’t at our house yet and i didn’t even ask her bc she was annoyed the last 2 times and she got defensive and said she wasn’t annoyed and then basically insisted and then took the next 20 minutes getting ready and then we had to go pick up the baby from my sister house bc she wouldn’t answer the phone and that took another 10 minutes and my mom is like huffing and puffing abt how we’re going to be late and it’s like … well maybe if you ever listened to what i said ever in your life you could have planned better OR just let me leave on my own instead of insisting on taking me considering this is how she acts every single time even when she has prior notice

#like i didn’t even ask her to i was LEAVING and now she’s acting like i’ve done something to hurt her like grow up omfg #i’m sitting in the back seat w/ the baby and she asked me to run directions so i was pulling them up but i didn’t verbally respond to her #so she fr yelled my name and i was like ‘i’m pulling them up rn it’s loading’ and she was like ‘you didn’t SAY anything so there’s no need #for you to have an attitude’ basically like .. wtf is wrong with you ???

[legofemme]

I think. Mostly. That my problem is that ive become so obsessed with holding myself accountable for every interaction i have with people that i forget that im an actual person who has actual feelings. Im not a martyr, or an influencer. Im literally just some guy and my friends arent an audience to be entertained. Social media is a plague 👍

#vani verbals #not vent bc its just an observation #theres this culture online where saying one wrong thing will have people digging through everything youve ever said #so that they can have a 'reason' to be mad at you rather than just like. talking. #people forget how to treat others like humans who have thoughts and feelings. so i forget that thats not like. normal. #i need to stop acting like an invisible mob is going to ruin my life bc i said i dont like something #which is easier said than done bc i literally have delusions but like. step in the right direction or whatever

Alright. Alright. All the problems I've been having with work, all the uncertainty and stress and anger. I have to set them aside. I have to figure this out. What. What the hell do I do with this. A white yankee cookout.

I just got added to this contributions planning gdoc. It has existed for nearly two months, and been edited seventeen times. These are the only three people who have signed up for anything. I am. Crying.

Can't not share Imani's spot-on take here. Listen to disabled people. (Also: if you're struggling with being disabled and left behind, there are many covid conscious communities online. Please reach out and find community. It WILL help. I can personally connect you with some but you can also find them on popular social media sites just by searching.)

[image ID: Screenshots of tweets from Imani Barbarin that read: "TW: suicide By the way, you all fundamentally do not understand the stakes: people are not afraid of your threats of fascism because they feel that their greatest relief would not be Biden, but death. Have you been paying attention? Do you hear how people are talking about Suicide? People lament waking up and not dying in the sleep in the form of jokes. They see no advancement in their lives, they see themselves being worked endlessly until death. People are hanging on by a fucking thread and you’re chomping at the bit to punish them for not Voting for Biden with fascism and concentration camps? They’ll kill themselves before that happens. They see no hope in the future you’re advertising (assuming you have any plan for the future to communicate to begin with). People can’t buy a home, they can’t afford it. People can’t afford to have children. There is no job security, let alone any prospect to raising the minimum wage. People are dropping dead of COVID AND CARDIAC EVENTS AND CANCERS ASSOCIATED WITH COVID And the best anyone can promise for a “better future” is “not Trump.” There isn’t much for people to grasp to for their future: not hope, not planning a family, not setting down roots, not having bodily autonomy, not being able to afford healthcare and not be abandoned in a medical crisis. Nothing. People are neither rooted in the successes of The past nor reaching towards any possible. Many people are not just done with democrats, they’re done trying. They see no promise in their lives and increasingly, they see death as their best chance of relief. “But Trump,” though. TW: Suicide From December 31st. I genuinely was not being hyperbolic nor nihilistic. There is a real mental health crisis happening and to believe that it is not informed by nor will impact our political reality is completely out of touch." (imani links a screenshot from NBC news citing that More than 50,000 Americans died by suicide in 2023, more than any year on record)]

#disability #disability justice #covid #long covid #this is where we are at we are in the abyss we have no hope #but people think verbally abusing us is going to make us vote for this genocidal man who has thrown us in the trash #i know many people who are just barely hanging on and i am among them #where is our hope #tw suicide #additionally there is no help to seek with it as many dont have healthcare to begin with but alsoooo #finding a therapist that understands that covid is still a threat is near impossible #they are more likely to diagnose you with Covid Anxiety so truly there is nowhere to turn anymore but to community #if you're struggling pls reach out. there are covid safe communities and i can direct you there. lets stay strong.

[actual-changeling]

it's not that i'm not trying. i am. i have been trying for so long and so hard it completely burned me out.

i just feel like i'm sitting in front of a gigantic knotted ball of experiences and memories that span from my birth right up to this second with not the faintest idea of how to start pulling it apart.

every single thing i do, every thought i have, every assumption about myself or the world or others, inevitably comes with a connection to something. and then another thing. and then another. and before i can stop it, an absent "i'm out of milk" has landed me right in the middle of my deepest childhood trauma. my brain simply jumps way too quickly for me to keep up or stop it.

i WANT to figure myself out. figure my life out. but i'm completely fucking lost and terrified of everything. everything is terrifying. everything is connected to trauma more closely than you can imagine.

my brain is a giant fuck up and even with medication and therapy, i feel just as lost as i did when i was four years old and curled up all by myself to cry so no one would see.

#alex gets personal #vent post #therapy always nudges my brain in a direction but like in a healing way i guess idk #anna aka my therapist says to say things out loud in some way and not keep it all in my head like i usually do #so im y'know #trying. have been for the last idk how many months #it helps. somewhat. i miss having people to verbally talk to though #but i honestly cannot even blame anyone for not wanting to talk to me #my life sucks i suck everything sucks and is shitty and i dont have a lot of good things to talk about #and even when i do i talk about them in annoying ways or too loudly or too whatever #anyway
