#anyway this was me ranting bc i'm frustrated

[underfell-crystal]

Fucked up how Mammon gets so much shit for indulging in his sin when NONE of his other brothers get as much crap as he does for indulging just as much. Not even Beel, who goes on property-destructive ramages when he doesn't get food, who ALSO requires a TON of money to fuel his sin, barely gets any consequences. ALL the other brothers are allowed to be sinful without NEARLY the same consequences as Mammon, who gets tortured and hung upside down.

It's also fucked up that his brothers continually trash talk him to his face AND behind his back, constantly insulting his intelligence and calling him names. Like, yall show at least some care to each other, but NOT Mammon????

And this has been going on for THOUSANDS of years!! How is Mammon not more fucked up from being the most hated member (once more now: FOR NO DAMN REASON) in his family.

Examples I compiled

#crystalks #obey me #obey me mammon #mammon does not deserve the shit he gets from his brothers #he's bullied and blamed to the point where i'm inclined to defend him even if he DID do something out of line! #literally five of his six other brothers are SOOOO mean to him for no fucking reason #shout out to beel for not trash talking my boy tho. you the only other one in this house that I would actually date. #not hating on beel when i say he goes on rampages bc he literally does. ie: the kitchen #and the diner when he couldnt get another parfait #IM JUST MAD THAT MAMMON GETS WO MUCH HATE FROM THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE EACH OTHER BUT APPARENTLY BECAUSE HIS SIN INVOLVES MONEY #HE GETS FLAK #anyway rant over i needed to scream my frustrations into the internet #mamon supremacy

my dad: *telling me i do have socialization deficits, that i need to step out more and interact with people and look like i am part of the environment and that i am "there" and present*

me, knowing damn well i have socialization deficits and feeling overwhelmed in social situations, especially when I don't feel like i fit and when I don't know the other people: ... okay

my dad: did you get upset with me telling you this?

me, dissociating so I don't start crying in front of him: ... no

#like it's not that I think he shouldn't have told me that #because unless he tells me i have no idea what he's thinking and I'll just go about doing my stuff #but it's kinda upsetting to know that on those situations that I'm feeling like shit and wanting to cry #and that i just start using reading as a way to feel better on the situation #I'm actually looking like j don't wanna be there at all and that I'm in a bad mood #like- i am not. I'm just so overwhelmed that I can't think straight so i need to use this to regulate #maybe if i start using a sign saying “I'm not upset if you wanna talk just start the conversation” things might work #idk it's frustrating bc it's not that I don't wanna interact at all it's just so fucking hard #and i feel like ppl knowing that you're neurodivergent means that they can isolate you instead of just looking for better ways to interact #this is so fucked up #like yeah i can make an effort and mask as i do all the fucking time #but at the same time i know that the main reason i do this is bc ppl also don't wanna look for other interaction options #anyway that was a big rant #autism #actually autistic #autistic #neurodivergent #personal #life stuff

[spaceangst]

does anyone else get that sinking feeling when a friend gets really into something you absolutely adore/have been hyperfixating on, but when you mentioned it, they ignored it (and kinda just ignore you unless and will talk over you to talk to their actual friends to the point where you're not even sure if y'all are friends or just acquaintances) and now they're really liking it and you just. want to gatekeep it bc that interest was (and is!) important to you...

or am i just being childish lol

#shut up k #forever frustrated with how people will act like they're in a clique online too #it's even more annoying when no one was mean necessarily #just kinda snubbing that same interest #and now you're like oh this is v interesting #this is about a twt only oomf btw not anyone here #or anyone on here and twt #but i'm just kinda annoyed bc like. link click was my thing #and i was so ready to share #but when i was you just straight up launched into talking over me to your other friend #it's the first time i've felt too old for that kind of drama #and you're both older than me so this really shouldn't be happening #but anyway i watched all of your favorites first and was excited about all of them to you first #and you ignored them all only to turn around and scream about them to your bsf three days later #which is cool #this is a rant i'm aware i sound childish i'm majorly stressed over an orgo final and this was my final straw #but it's also a pattern #idk the most childish part is wishing you never got into lc #bc now it's not just you ignoring me to talk about it #it's you AND your bsf #which is totally cool #i'm v cool with this #y'all are freaking 23 and i just barely turned 20 and this feels so middle school ugh

Dude I'm so bad at this dating stuff. It just never feels right

#well first of all as a queer and kid and teenager I never got a chance to learn how these relationships work but that's most of us #but I'm anxious that I'd be terrible at that bc I do everything alone #so I don't even know what ppl like do and stuff #and dates are so stressful and they aren't to so many people but for me they are #and I'm so picky cause it's hard for me to get over some things and it's not like I can afford to be picky in this economy #although that's not always a bad thing. boundaries and consent girls #but I'm so idle and if someone doesn't initiate something i instantly think that ok they're not interested let's move on #but I never initiate anything myself cause I feel like I'm pushy and I hate feeling pushy and I hate rejection but then #then just nothing happens and I don't know how to do that stuff anyway and #I don't like feeling like someone is sorta expecting sex because I'm often not in the mood for the thing and I don't wanna explain that #and people are just meeting and dating other people and it's so natural to them #and I can't wrap my head around it #cause sometimes I feel I have nothing to offer and the only reason guys would be interested in me would be cuz they wanna fuck someone? idk #personal rant but it's frustrating to me ig #byee

Hhhhhh why does it always have to take me six hours to transition into doing anything it's so frustrating I just wanna write that fanfic NOW or take the shower NOW or get out of bed NOW I don't want to spend half the day hyping myself up for it >:|

#vent #<- but not a truama dumping vent or anything #just frustrated with... executive dysfunction? I think that's what this is #idk im not diagnosed I haven't talked to any professionals or ND folks all I know comes from the internet #(namely youtube and instagram shorts/reels) #just me rambling #like legitimately the not being able to shower unless I hype myself up for three and a half days thing is so frustrating #esp when combined with the brain fart of “welp! did my shower don't have to worry about that anymore:)” #*continues not to worry about it for half a week and suddenly needs a shower again* #only exaggerating a little. I do struggle to get even weekly showers done sometimes #like I manage to scrape by but it's not easy for me #fully hate being undiagnosed thank you very much #and since the tone of this is probably kinda heavy/angry: don't worry about me or anything I'm currently happy and doing alright in my life #just wanted to vent a bit bc this is one thing that does bother me still #and it does kinda lead into other issues when life gets busier #like nlt being able to keep up with homework #but I'm good for now! I'm doing well :) #anyways. yes. sorry 'bout the ranting and rambling #gonna go do something fun now bye!

#hi hi hello I'm back with the dramaa #matty healy #the 1975 #so I identify as unlabelled or just not straight. bc tbh I don't know and I'm going off vibes like I don't want to commit to anything yet #you know? but there's a couple things frustrating me. firstly there's these two people in college #one of them is the toxic friend who I've made up with but am keeping at a distance. and the other is just a dick ngl #anyway I've said to both of them that I'm not straight and they've both then gone and said in front of me 'scarletts the only straight one/ #scarlett's completely straight' like hello?? no im not and I told you that :( #The other thing is more important. when I was like 14/15 people used to say that they thought I wasn't straight and a couple of them now #are probs thinking oh I was right. but really no they weren't? because I was straight at 15. people change and I think I have the right to #know my identity and surely I know it over someone else? like just because I'm not straight anymore doesn't mean I wasn't and it just felt #so invalidating at the time #the dick at college actually said to me at one point 'oh well it takes some people longer to know..

I get really annoyed when people talk about dancing as if, like, those of us who aren't dancing wish we were and are just too cowardly to get out on the dancefloor

like, people will talk about old high school dances and just casually mention 'and those loser kids standing by the wall because they're afraid of looking foolish if they come out and dance like the rest of us'. they'll talk about the people at a club who arent dancing 'because they're allergic to having fun' (as if watching people dancing isn't loads of fun??)

(I also get annoyed at people trying to decide if other people are having fun or not for them, but that's a different rant)

It bugs me for a number of reasons, the least of which being that the same people will make fun of bad dancers! people whose dancing just consists of head bobbing or elbow shaking! they really will say 'you should be embarrassed about being ashamed' and 'you should be embarrassed about not being ashamed' in the same breath!

but the main reason this annoys me is because, straight up, I do not know how to dance. not 'I dont know cool dances' I mean when the music starts playing I do not know how to move my body in any way that is pleasurable. I don't feel the beat coursing through me and feel I must move to it. I can't move to the beat if I tried (I suck at DDR). I can mimic dance moves (poorly, ill-timed) and it just feels like an exhausting aerobics exercise

group or partner dances can be fun, because there's pleasure in a attempting a group challenge, but I don't dance for myself. I never danced alone in my bedroom as a kid; I never do that as an adult. I'm not embarrassed, it's just not an instinct for me! I assume it is for other people but not me!

it's like people are acting like I'm too embarrassed to bake bread or something!! sure I can (poorly) if called upon but if it's just for me I don't want too?? I don't care about baking bread?? I don't care about dancing??

And the addendum to this that I love singing so much and I'm way too embarrassed to do it in front of people. you wanna talk about an 'instinctual human act of expression that people are suppressing out of cowardice??' I love driving because it's the only time I can sing as loud as I want without being afraid of people hearing me! I don't even sing that loudly when I'm home alone because I'm afraid my neighbors will hear me! but I will belt my heart out on a solo car trip and it's so cathartic!!!

I know what it's like to be 'not good' at an act of expression and thereby too embarrassed to do it in front of others! and dancing is not it! and I get so pissed whenever a fictional character is shamed for 'not wanting to dance' and then they do anyways and they enjoy it; I've been forced to dance many times growing up and I never enjoyed it! it's boring!! I legitimately enjoy watching y'all do it instead! shame me for hiding my bad voice instead!!

#and there's no way for me to adequately convey how frustrating this is without sounding like I think about this WAY too much #and people think i doth protest too much #the truth of the matter is i just hate being judged for not wanting to dance #and i hate people trying to tell me what i'm feeling (and ofc being so off the mark about it) #I'm getting flashbacks to kids in highschool saying 'youre not having fun come join us' bc like. WOW ok i WAS having fun #but nevermind how /I/ feel I guess???? #I have since learned that dancing while others are just standing there will. like. kill the fun for the people dancing?? #i would give a damn if people didn't always frame it as me ruining their fun because i'm too scared to have fun of my own #anyway. i drafted the original version of this post so long ago this has just been a rant ive been holding on to

me vs. the demons constantly telling me to write an alternative version of chiyo's spidey au in which she's gone through her canon events as planned -- fighting her villains at the appropriate milestones, losing her uncle ben and gwen when she should have, etc. and she's kinda ended up in this boat that's similar to peter b's in the first s.piderverse. she came close to "having it all" -- which, for her, is a loving s/o, her manga career, and maybe a family one day -- but she gets in her own way, in her own head. there's people she couldn't save, opportunities she messed up and people she let down bc " s.pider-woman " was busy. it's a lot easier to kinda... give up on the hard stuff. it's easier to remain an assistant at a publishing company, easier to let personal relationships fizzle out, easier to focus on saving the city rather than living her own life.

and then ofc :' ) multiverse shenanigans ensue :' )) and she's all for helping out bc it's yet another distraction from her own issues ( until it's not bc if you encounter alternate versions of yourself, you're bound to come face-to-face with those deeply-buried issues )

the thing is, i know i probably wouldn't get to write in that verse often bc i hardly write in chiyo's s.piderverse au now, but i just!! love options and also love the idea of these two versions of chiyo meeting at some point and being freaked out and maybe!! healed a lil bit :' )

#I get really frustrated when I do actually put a lot of effort into learning something and I still don't get it #it kinda makes me want to stop trying #idk this current issue is probably a glitch because no UST seems to be working this UTAU #it's weird bc none of her voicebanks are working #I kinda wonder if she just doesn't work at all with UTAU Synth for some reason #bc I didn't hear anyone else talk about having any issues where she just like. won't sing anything. #if it's romanji it says it can't render which makes enough sense to me but otherwise it just acts like it's playing but there's no sound #the UTAU is Hitsuboki Kumi if you're curious #I'm also having issues installing Tsukishiro Hakupo but I think I just need to review the steps for how to install one #it's been a little bit since I last did and I'm likely just skipping a step or something #anyways enough ranting I'm just really frustrated #I don't want to turn out to be shitty at this thing I'm really excited about and give it up #I am a little sick of how often that happens to me lol

Sae Itoshi x reader

Just fluff. I think. Yeah, it is.

"And then—"

You just ramble on and on and on but the words just go in one ear and out the other. He can't help but stare into your face, scrunched in frustration, eyebrows coming together at the center with little wrinkles forming on your glabella.

He thinks it's so cute the way your teeth grit and you sigh while rubbing your temples as your eyes closed, a groan coming out as you continue on talking.

He can't help to stare wordlessly, his normally sharp eyes softening at the sight of you. And this detail doesn't go unnoticed, you stop talking, but he doesn't notice that, he's too focused on looking at you. Even while you flail your arms to snap him out of it, trying to catch his attention and redirect it so he actually listens to you.

"Sae!!"

"Hm?" He hums, unaware that he has been spacing out the whole time. "Uhm!! Helloo??? You've been spaced out for over 15 minutes while I'm trying to rant here!" And he just let's out a small chuckle at you, a rare sound that almost never comes out of his all too alluring lips.

"My bad, love." The pet name has your stomach flipping and turning in ways only he can ever induce within you. "Hmph, you're lucky I love you, I would've punched you for not listening to me." Another chuckle, this time more reassembling a laugh more than a small chuckle unlike earlier.

"I am very lucky." And he presses a soft kiss to your forehead, pulling you closer. "Mind continuing your story now?" He asks and you do with a small nod, though this time, there is barely any trace of anger or frustration to be found in your tone.

I think Sae Itoshi is very cute like this. Anyway, I feel a little embarrassed uploading bc uhm idk how to work Tumblr yet... But yeah, this was cute. I think.

Okay, I just gotta rant a bit about TGED, and probably will get other opinions, and that's great, so please share them!

Also, this is mostly my speculation, I have ONLY read the webtoon, and I haven't been able to find the novel properly translated to read, so have mercy.

SO. I know that og!Lloyd was a bully to Javier and Julien and all that jazz, but it looked to me that he was an alcoholic that desperately needed help.

He lashed out and thew fits to call the attention of his parents, that he was sure as hell they were going to replace him with Javier at any point. (Bc let's be real, the Frontera's affection seems heavily conditional)

Arcos was pretty okay by letting Javier do whatever he wanted, becoming a knight was his choice and he did everything to make that happen.

Then, we have Javier's duties, that was to watch over 'Lloyd', which that also more or less what he did because he wasn't with Lloyd all the time.

The Fronteras were more than okay by letting him leave their alcoholic son alone and drunk somewhere in town. Which was what killed him by falling n breaking his head,,,, that wouldn't have happened if Javier was actually there,,,,

The there's this detail I noticed in the imagery, in most cases it's suggested that Javier is confused as the heir and novel bc he's handsome, but that's not it.

it's bc he gives a novels profile. And the reason is his clothes.

Javier seems to be dressing like the proper heir, and wears the same style as Arcos Frontera, meanwhile Lloyd is left to dress like a commoner. That's why he's confused as Javier's servant, bc he looks like it.

Arcos Frontera didn't want to deal with an alcoholic son, he had enough on his plate by letting his estate become in debt and bc of his spineless attitude.

He was most likely replace Lloyd with Javier, or make Julian the heir. He was ignoring Lloyd, and just paying attention when he caused damage to the town. Because then it would come back to him.

He didn't actually cared if he died in a ditch.

I don't justify og!Lloyd's behavior at all, but I understand what was going with him. He was mad, he was jealous, and he was frustrated, and the only thing that made him feel better was some drinks.

He was so depressed he wanted to be blackout drunk, and that killed him anyway.

I'm honestly very much into how our!Lloyd has put such boundaries with the Fronteras, bc he's a guest in his own home. He wants to lazy around, but he doesn't actually do it at home, he did it once and immediately got an excuse to go out and work.

But anyway, this is such my own analysis on the matter, I find absolutely fascinating the takes this webtoon has taken over the Isekai trope, and how that affects to those around the mc.

Highly considering doing a Seven Deadly Sins rewrite myself bc man there's so much missed potential and honestly a lot of things that don't make sense or haven't been gone over enough-

My biggest gripe being the Goddess race, we barely know anything about them, the archangels were said to be oh-so-strong but 3 of them died not to long after being introduced- And my biggest gripe is that the author definitely pulled that "Bloody Ellie" thing out of his ass during the fight with Demon King Zeldris.

Like man, even the Demon race feels so lacklustre..

Oh! And don't get me started on Chaos!! Especially since its literally the entity that gets put into Arthur who's the main antagonist and villain of the sequel series!!!

Like, I'm pretty sure we don't know about chaos until it's actually revealed,,

Like in my mind, if I was to add/redo things- One of the things I'd do is make the Supreme Deity into a religious figure, being praised as the "Benevolent Goddess" among humans, setting up basically a religion- And maybe this could stem into the magic, such as human believing that the magic they hold was a blessing of the Supreme Deity.

And maybe also set up a clearer hierarchy system among the Goddess and Demon race.

I just want the Goddess race and Supreme Deity herself to play a bigger role cause man I don't really like how she was defeated within like the final 20 minutes of that one film.

Because I think it'd be so interesting to have humans actively worshiping the Goddess race, specifically dedicated to the Supreme Deity and the archangels.

Also, I'd have Chaos introduced a lot earlier- who knows, maybe I could throw in like a group that are worshippers of Chaos.

Tbh I'm just spit balling but it's mostly bc I'm so frustrated at simply how bad the author is at writing- Cause I feel like a lot of the time, he throws in ideas just because he thinks it's cool and doesn't elaborate and explore said ideas.

As I mentioned earlier, the whole "Bloody Ellie" thing ( a character who was established a pacifist in the Gloxinia + Drole flashbacks thing) as well the thing with Helbram where he talked about how fairies were captured and had their wings torn out (I believe we never hear anything about it again after Helbram tells us it), honestly many things.

Also, I just thought of another thing I'd change- Instead of having Derieri, Tarmiel and Sariel die useless deaths, I feel like we could've had Ludociel fight Esta/Mael when the Mael reveal happened bc I feel that would've been so much more impactful-

Because imagine, Ludociel finally fights the person who he thought "killed" his brother and before he goes for the finishing blow, the spell corrodes away and Ludociel is left with the shock and horror that he nearly killed his own brother.

And one more thing or else I'll be ranting forever, have Meliodas' and Elizabeth's relationship questioned and have them actually have to go through challenges

Have people question as to whether or not it was their relationship that trigger started the holy war, have other characters question the way he acts towards current Elizabeth, have Elizabeth have questions herself and wonder if the war was worth it- Let them have arguments!!

I think the only one they technically had was when Elizabeth wanted to rejoin the adventure at the start of season 2 if my memory serves me right.

But yeah.

It's just those little tweaks and add-ins that really begin to flesh it out to its potential, imo.

Anyway, rant over before I continue ranting up to 30k+ words more.

[theerurishipper]

It's so sad that with the way the love square is characterized I couldn't say with a clear conscious that if Adrien was the one to have a panic attack or mental breakdown Marinette in anyway could handle taht in their relationship. She was never asked to give him this kind of support in return, she only received it while Adrien did all the work to make their relationship happen and conveniently as possible for her.

Or heaven have mercy if Chat Noir had a panic attack or mental breakdown. Chat in Revolution ended up indirectly confessing to Ladybug how unbelievably low his self-worth still is and he only fake it til you make it for her this season, and even if Marinette felt bad for him it was still clear as day in her eyes how badly she wanted him to stop voicing it bc in their dynamic she was never asked to learn to actually supporting him the way he does her.

All she did was saying a little sentence of "You were perfect, Kitty" which from her perspective was well intentioned but Adrien himself wouldn't be able to do anything more with that than categorizing it once again as "Ladybug wants to comfort me and is struggling" bc after season 4 her claiming only now that he was perfect at the end of season 5, when s5 Ladynoir barely asked anything of Ladybug Chat just accepted he has no right to make errors or need help anymore bc Ladybug is stressed™ and needs a care taker - then "you were perfect, Kitty" is the worst wording I can imagine.

For as sweet as taht sentence SHOULD have been, it's only from Marinette's perspective (and when you ignore that she once again says nothing more than a mere sentence as per usual, which is honestly such a painfully underwhelming bar at this point. 5 seasons of partnership and she never improved in giving support. That's honestly sad.)

That sentence makes me so upset and I'm at least glad she at least helps him find the strength to over power the miraculous transformation time limit, but her eyes when he admits to how non existing his self-worth still is just... disappointed me.

I tried reading it in good faith for so long but her eyes show that she doesn't want Chat Noir to voice these doubts in their dynamic because she can't handle it and Adrien then proceeded to take what little she gave him because she made clear that this sentence alone was already asking too much of her again. This is such an one sided partnership, Chat can't voice ANYTHING because Ladybug still can't give more than surface level help.

I couldn't even imagine what would happen if Chat Noir dared to have a panic attack and it didn't manifest in convenient obedient helplessness. He would have to somehow will himself out of the breakdown, deny that anything of importance happened and then make sure SHE doesn't continue feeling bad about herself not being good at helping him.

Sorry for ranting, but thinking about how the Love Square falls apart each and every time Adrien is the one to need help and nothing ever asks Marinette to actually improve in her weaknesses in their dynamics, the moment he isn't cuddling her into development while also serving as her punching bag to take her issues out on him (for which she is also never held accountable or asked to not do it. She can do with him whatever she wants and it's all 100% justified bc she had a bad emotion while simultaneously Adrien has to learn that any bad emotion he feels is literally female oppression)

Is just extremely frustrating.

If Adrien in season 6 feels bad that his father is dead or maybe even both of his parents, I can't imagine how that is supposed to work in their dynamic. It's not a problem Marinette can hit with force and then undo with magic and surface level "I'm sure it'll be fine" won't do it. But it's Marinette Dupain-Cheng. How realistic is it actually to expect more from her from here onwards?

Anon, you put it into words better than I ever could.

It really does bug me that Adrien is never allowed to ask for help from Marinette. Season 4 was literally all about him learning that he wasn't allowed to ask her for anything, and you can clearly see that. He literally shot down Plagg's suggestion to ask Ladybug for help in Conformation because he literally doesn't think he can ask anything of her. Season 4 was full of Ladybug paying lip service to him about how much she needs him and then pretty much never actually taking the time to validate his concerns and try to mend their partnership, even when he tried to voice his concerns. She always went on the defensive and it ended with him just accepting it and resigning himself to being her second fiddle.

And hell, look at Destruction in Season 5. Chat Noir is so distressed about Cataclysming Monarch, and Ladybug can't offer him comfort because she's having her own breakdown. And you just know that if Ladybug mortally wounded someone like that, then Chat Noir would be expected to put his feelings aside and comfort her. Season 5 was full of Chat Noir being the perfect partner for Ladybug on whom she can rely on emotionally and who has learnt the lesson that he must never ask a thing of her, even if he is in danger.

But anyway, you're completely right anon. With all this being said, I have no expectation that Season 6 will allow Adrien to feel sad about becoming an orphan, because that would necessitate that Marinette try to console him, and we can't have any of those feelings that inconvenience Marinette, now can we?

Thank you for your ask!
