#being high is my hobby

[turtleblogatlast]

There’s something so intensely funny to me about Donnie loving to dance…but being the absolute worst at it

Like just looking at their scores for the dancing game, Mikey clears everyone, Raph holds his own, and Leo tried just hard enough to beat Donnie, and I find this all so dang funny

This isn’t to say he’s bad at it, we know they all have at least some skill in that area, I just like the idea of characters enjoying something but not being super incredible at it just because they like it! It’s a humanizing trait that I don’t see often

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #no but fr I hold this close to my heart #side note but I also like to think of Mikey being amazing at dancing but it’s not all that high on his list of hobbies #man’s a ballet dancer and master at their version of ddr but it’s whatever yknow? #just some fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #knowing how Donnie is with his video games also makes me hold this hc closer

I'm feeling salty so I'm just gonna say-

If you can't handle the idea of feeding live prey to something.

Do not get a pet. That requires you. To feed it live fucking prey. There are SO MANY OTHER OPTIONS!

Also don't be that fucking weirdo who goes on other people's socials and bitches about how it's "inhumane" or "gross". They'd be doing it out in the wild. It's a little something called nature. And no, you cannot find an "alternative" for your mantis.

It's a MANTIS. It is like. One of the most famous predatory insects. It is infamous for eating its prey alive.

If you're going to be a little baby about feeding live prey. Then get a pet that doesn't need that. And shut the fuck up.

#its just annoying as fuck like #if you don't like the idea of predation in animals then like... don't get a predator #i've been in the hobby for all of a month but this shit is everywhere #and its not new! #i used to own a pair of lizards when I was in high school and I was seeing this shit back then too #because I would give them crickets once a month as a treat instead of their usual veggies #and people are so WEIRD about animals eating other animals like #wtf is wrong with people? #it's a CRICKET calm down #like sure all life is sacred yadda yadda but fucking #all life being sacred doesn't mean that death never happens #because if my mantis doesn't eat he dies #if my spider doesn't eat she dies #it's called nature you chucklefucks #Reaper Man and Bracken would both be eating bugs if they were out in the wild #Bracken is actually a species native to my general area so like #there are spoods out there RIGHT NOW eating bugs #she just gets to have a cushy life with no predators and carefully controlled humidity and big fat flies on the regular #and a cute little hide #same for Reaper Man he gets a nice cushy home and all the food he could need #and people are really out here bitching about how its cruel fuck the fuck off #if you come into the bug keeping world and whine about this I just think you're a moron

Sakura Kiss English Lyrics

Was suddenly overcome by nostalgia and in a frenzy wrote my own english lyrics for Sakura Kiss (Ouran HSHC) just now while in the shower MFNSMND it was fun and I'm actually p proud of these... Sharing in case anyone wants to do a cover w these lyrics!!🥹 (pls credit and show me if u do🥺)

I also did a v quick recording (v out of breath😵‍💫) to show how the lyrics match up w the song 🫣 LMAO (i dropped my phone in the beginning KFJSJ)

EDIT: I did a new cover here! A bit less out of breath this time🤧

(raw text under cut)

Sakura Kiss

(milkbreadtoast ver)

KISS KISS FALL IN LOVE (HEY HEY HEY)

I've realized that all this time... you've always been right here with me

But is it hate, or like, or am I going crazy?

If i could look inside my heart

and see my feelings clear as day,

lady or host, it doesn't(/wouldn't) matter either way.

When love comes into our lives,

we dont always know why

but when i look in your eyes...

MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE

I want(/need) to see you now

so I can give you a cherry blossom kiss, and if your heartbeat skips then it's love you know!

Tomorrow's far away, let's focus on today

It's just you and me,

and this beautiful spring

is a flower's blooming hour of love!

(HEY HEY) MAYBE YOU'RE MY LOVE!

do you like fiction with children or shigadabi children? maybe read them?

No, I don't like kids in my fics and avoid them at all costs!

#tanco speaks #ask #asks #my backstory is that my mom did home daycare until i was in high school and i was always around other children #and helping to take care of them and i do not like being around them now so i am absolutely not gonna bring them into #my fun hobbies no thank you

[craycraybluejay]

Just past 3.1K words in my Angel Dust fic and counting

hooray! <3

#angel dust #fic writer #ao3 writer #mrblackhaironthestreet #gods you guys are gonna either hate or love this #its a songfic (or songfic adjacent) that explores just. lots of stuff #drawing from personal experience as well as character reference and firsthand reports of similar things that go on in the fic #also occasionally referencing my drug knowledge cuz this fic is def pretty personal for me and i think its good to stay informed if u or #anyone you know uses. chances are theres at least 1 person you know who gets high. obv the fic isn't really psa material about harm #reduction but i squeeze some fun facts in there that you'd only really know if you went looking #and usually you only go looking for those facts if you need them and have used are using or plan to use #i once had to look up how to reverse an acetaminophen overdose. yeah. not my proudest moment #but the good part is that i sought out how to help myself instead of panicking and i think that being more informed can help others not #panic when shit goes wrong cuz eventually it will #knowledge is power. if ur in the scene u should know the ins and outs of it #same w any other scene like idk rock climbing where u know the shorthand 4 things and tricks and how to save urself if something fails #a LOT of hobbies involve risk even serious risk not just drug use #drug use is hella stigmatized tho so we only ever talk about how risky and self-abusing it is #there is no one too far gone to deserve help or at least some friendly advice #idk just. pls stay safe ily guys #and uh i hope u like my fic when i post it

hmm

#this is the first time since i graduated high school (which i did 8 years ago) #that i'm at a good place in life – as in... doing well in school #got a stable job that i worked for really hard for YEARS #i'm making new friends and developing a new healthier routine despite being incredibly tired #while also being here and indulging in a hobby/you guys #and i booked a summer vacay to a place i've ALWAYS wanted to see!! #for the first time in a long time i've so many good things going on in life and am not feeling like i'm wasting my time.. and it's nice #now just onto finding true internal happiness.. or well not even that – just wanna be content #and then maybe seek actual happiness... but what i wanna say is #it'll be okay.. it'll be okay #if for me then for you as well #things won't hurt forever #personal

sooooo

I'm 32 now

#I doooo not want it #it's embarrassing #can it stop please #BUT also can I not feel depressed and like an empty shell when it's not happening #I mean I can handle it when it's things. hobbies. shows. whatever #sure it usually ends up being expensive as fuck but #at least I don't go around humiliating myself by talking about nothing but a random guy for months on end #how embarrassing! I think a man is hot! I must jump off a cliff immediately #but whyyyy can't I be normal about it at least #other people get obsessed with normal things! like. idk. anything else #soo anyway the opening narration for the texas chainsaw massacre is great isn't it? he did such a good job :) what a nice voice :) I am not #going to be weird about this man any longer :) no I won't! I'm normal about him! I don't want to bite him or chew on his face or anything #like that. just normal things. uh. sex? that's what people usually want. yeah fine that. I mean I do. want. oh I think I'm doing it again #haha no it's fine I just think he's neat (he's the only person on earth no one else exists anymore he's so beautiful oh my god have you seen #his little face he looks like a cute little potato I've never seen anything prettier in my life haha I need to run my hands through his hair #and have you seen how tall he is and he's so cute and I need to. be taken outside and shot. god. #I keep. shrieking. every time I see him. at such a high frequency that it hurts my own fucking ears. because. I can't believe that he exists #I'm. so. stupid!!!! #annnd repeat this every time this happens blah blah blah i should jsut delete this blog right now oh my GOD.

Due to being the biggest humanities nerd in our generation and also the poorest one in this generation of our family and also the only person still alive who can read Russian, Polish, and Yiddish, I keep inheriting treasure trove libraries from long-dead distant relatives, and it turns out An-sky's Folklore brainworms were fairly typical. I am not the first Neubivko autist to teach myself Old Welsh for fun and zero profit because they got obsessed with the Mabinogion. I am, however, the first Neubivko to do so after [checks notes] the end of the Polish-Soviet War, and on the North American continent

Our family has had English for a long time in part because so many people have been like, Bundists who were also autistic about Beowulf, which is hysterically funny to me. My great-uncle, born in the Russian Empire, had a little Anglo-Saxon primer with Russian and Yiddish annotations in the margins. Why are we Like This

#He also had the complete Shakespeare and wrote a dissertation on Melville for fun #I have the Grimm brothers in bilingual German and Russian #Why are we Like This for real #Nobody had a university education to be clear. This was just. Undertaken out of interest. #Apparently in the Family Archives there is more than one handwritten or typed Thesis by a relative with #The equivalent of a middle- or high school education who did some kind of Trade but #pursued academic research and corresponded with scholars etc. as a Hobby #this is truly my yerushe. Being a Crackpot

i think the thing that no one tells you about being forced into being a high achieving child/teen is how much it comes to fuck you over later in life when you can’t do anything without holding yourself to an insane level of perfectionism and then you realize it’s basically leeched all the fun out of any hobbies you created for yourself and left you with a shell of a personality

#like I was having this convo with my mom about how I used to do so much in high school and college #and granted a lot of it was to look smart or well rounded for college and dental school apps which is I guess it’s own thing #but now that I don’t have another goal to work towards my life feels more stagnant and I guess I feel like more of a failure? #even though that’s absolutely not true I just see other people always on the grind and feel guilty for not wanting to do as much anymore #bc I’m tired and burnt out from everything #and the worst part is that it extended into my hobbies too #like I used to love baking and painting and being creative until I just set such insane standards for myself #like if something wasn’t perfect or aesthetic or worthy of being displayed as like a trophy #my effort and the process and time invested into it counts for nothing #not to be controversial but sometimes writing feels that way too #i think it’s a mental battle I have with myself but it makes me sad how many hobbies I used to have and enjoyed #that were then destroyed by burn out and perfectionism and imposter syndrome #this turned into a rant #will probably delete later #but I just had to say it somewhere #isi rambles

I know that film analysis on YouTube has always been pretty bad, but I'm irked that one of the big trends for obnoxious hack YouTubers right now is to find a bad movie and then show a bunch of clips while doing the worst and most shallow observational comedy. There are a few YouTubers who do a lot of interesting or funny reviews of poorly made movies, but you can tell with them that they actually care about the art of film making. They pay attention to the plot and don't misrepresent how bad the movie is because they paid enough attention to have something clever to say. I love movie reviews and I enjoy videos that exist to make a bunch of observational jokes about movies. Which is why I'm upset that a million of the unfunniest and least creative people in the world are jumping on the bandwagon and clogging my recommendations. There's no passion in it. You can feel the cynicism oozing from this kind of video within seconds of it starting. I hate it.

#i fucking hate ****** ****** #his videos about his actual hobbies are interesting but everything else is just so embarrassing and unfunny #because he has absolutely nothing of value or substance to say #it's passionless and cowardly work #and yet a myriad of other equally annoying youtubers use the same formula and clog my fucking recommended because i like to watch videos #about movies #i hope this trend dies so that i don't need to sift until i find somebody who actually cares #oh also most of these youtubers only talk about feminism for brownie points if they actually cared they would talk more about less overt #misogyny. but they don't really care about the social issues their platforms are built on #they care about creating a narrative where they and their viewers can unquestionably be the good guys and pat themselves on the back for no #being proudly and overtly bigoted #but then these youtubers will still be misogynistic and classist and racist but nobody gives a fuck because so much of their brand is in a #clean image #it's literally all about high horses and it's fucking annoying #''if i make fun of misogynists enough people won't question what i say about women'' #anyways i fucking hate this type of youtuber because they have their grubby hands in a lot of the types of videos i enjoy

Idk why I thought the new year would suddenly bring immense change to me as a person, it was such a childish belief, I can’t believe I let myself fall for it. The years go by but I remain the messed up anxious wreck who starts crying the second she’s left alone with her thoughts. The new year won’t change anything, nothing will

#just look at me #I could very possibly graduate from school in half a year and I still don’t know what I want to do with my life #I can’t take the slightest bit of criticism or else I’ll feel like shit for a week #I need to be staring at a screen at all hours of the day because if I don’t distract myself I will break down #I’m so obsessed with pleasing people that when I can’t fulfill the simplest of requests I want to die #indulging in hobbies. things that are supposed to be enjoyable. feels like hell for me #through all my years of creating there is only one piece I can honestly say I like and am proud of #and I haven’t even touched writing since because I’m scared of not being able to reach that high again #art comes a little easier but I’m only capable of one or two pieces a month #I don’t have anyone irl whom I trust. I’m so lonely that I literally have imaginary friends. at 17 #and I still haven’t figured out my gender or what pronouns I prefer. I don’t even like the name I picked for myself #I could go on forever #I don’t know how anyone puts up with me. I know I wouldn’t if I had the choice #I keep going on and on about how I want to get better. I don’t want to be so miserable all the time #but I just don’t know how #I try to be kinder with myself and I’ve been pretty successful at it but.. it doesn’t help #I can be soft and gentle all I want. it won’t make everything else go away #so there’s nothing left for me to do but cry all alone in my apartment at 2 a.m #I guess

The THING is. When people (I am including myself in this) try to talk about how "Why is there overall less of an emphasis on women's stories and female characters and f/f shipping, especially when according to the stats we see being shared, fandom is significantly populated by queer women, hmm this seems a bit strange," there's ALMOST ALWAYS this assumption that it comes from a place of gender essentialism or purity culture or hating every single man for existing or something. ARE there some people who mean that? Yeah, there are going to be people like that in EVERY group of people who try to talk about anything. But when people complain about this, it's most generally because WE EXPERIENCE STRUCTURAL MISOGYNY IRL, AND NOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME SOCIAL EFFECTS WITHIN SOMETHING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE "FUN." THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

And this goes for when people try to talk about racism in fandom spaces as well. And ableism. And transphobia. And any other form of prejudice you can think of. Is talking about this in one (1) context that is not directly political going to forever eliminate bigotry? No. Obviously not. But the thing about systemic bias and prejudice is that IT IS PRESENT AT EVERY LEVEL, EVEN THE "FUN" ONES.

#THERE IS NUANCE IN THIS CONVERSATION #fandom misogyny #misogyny in fandom #like...honestly I don't think the Main Problem re: ignoring stories about women or the women in stories is Fetshizing MLM™ actually. #I mean there's some of that that goes on. there's some of that that goes on in regard to characters of color or trans narratives or f/f #media too. there are people who dehumanize people through over-sexualization in EVERY context unfortunately. HOWEVER. I AM #wondering how much of that assumption comes from an attempt to explain the disparity between the focus on queer men #& queer women. personally I think a lot more of it is related to misogyny than we think it is but I'm not omniscient I'm just evaluating #things in accordance to dialogue I've observed and my own personal life experience which is ADMITTEDLY IMPERFECT AND INCOMPLETE #(you have NO IDEA how much shit I've gotten over the years simply for being a woman and no other reason.) #(and if it wasn't for being a woman it was for being disabled) #(and there's a particular intersection of THOSE things I feel like there could be more discussion about too) #and the thing about 'fandom isn't activism' is about how IT SHOULDN'T BE A SUBSTITUTE FOR REAL-WORLD EFFORTS. #it's about how YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY HARM FICTIONAL CHARACTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT REAL. #it doesn't mean 'we never examine personal bias at all because this is a hobby'. I played soccer as a hobby once. I danced as a hobby once. #the sports and dance worlds are still affected by bias and prejudice and that should be discussed and evaluated accordingly #fandom is still MADE UP OF real people. and the people who create and/or act in the pieces of media that spawn fandoms #ARE ALSO real people. looking at the effects ON THOSE /REAL PEOPLE/ is still important in understanding structural prejudice and #oppression. (and...lbr. how many actresses and poc have gotten harassment and threats just for playing a character. for having the #audacity to exist in a popular piece of media as a woman or poc. because. the number is. distressingly high.) #(I myself have been the target of shitty forms of harassment just for DRESSING UP AS AN UNPOPULAR FEMALE CHARACTER AT A CONVENTION) #it might be one thing if all of this NEVER translated into how people viewed and affected real life people. if it ALWAYS stayed within the #context of playing around with fictional characters BUT IT RARELY DOES! IF EVER!!! #anyway I say nothing new but I saw something that made me angry. and until people Get It™ I am going to keep screaming about it #y'all knew what you signed up for :) #you know what I'm not even going to tag this with my general conversation tag for this phenomenon because I think people need to #see this occasionally

The misogyny and dismissal of women y'all perceive as too old to be having an opinion is not lost on me, by the way. Every time I piss someone off on one of these sites I get assigned older and older ages and am told I'm less respectable for doing things that people at my age shouldn't be doing. Yet, none of y'all know how fucking old I am.

Trying to make me the appropriate dismissable age for a woman with an opinion is just misogyny. Simple as that lol.

#lily responds #also #I wasn't reminiscing about my high school days I was establishing that this was a hobby I've had for a while. but whtvr lol #radical feminism #radfems please touch #radical feminists please touch #radical feminist #radical feminist theory #terfs please interact #radfem lesbian #feminism #it's not like I have dementia in my cognitive abilities are failing #this has nothing to do with the cognitive ability of understanding y'all's point and disagreeing #just I'm so old that I should be embarrassed about being loud about my opinions #also calling me an unhinged harpy because I thought it was deranged to joke about children dying is not the move you think it is #the big problem with Rattlers that most of y'all are misogynistic and only here because you think it serves you personally

“I just blocked a ridiculous amount of new blogs following me who can't read the rules of my page! Even if your page looks like you're an adult, I'm blocking you if you have not listed what your age is. 🙃 “

Who gives a flying fuck?!?! You act like blocking blogs makes you all high and mighty. We can still look at your blubbery ass!

So so many hot chicks on tumblr, you’re definitely not one of them!

Just wondering how long you waited to send me this message, like truly how long have you been hate following me waiting for me to turn anonymous back on. 🤣 If you don't like me you can always keep scrolling. The only person forcing you to stay on my page is you, and it's pathetic. If you honestly think you can bully somebody anonymously, I've already won. You're scared of me. 😘

#sorry you have nothing else to do in your sad little stupid life than sit around waiting for me to reply to you #The only way you can send me a message is anonymously since I have DMs turned off #I suggest getting a hobby if you care that much about anything anyone posts online. truly. #Also I don't know if you understand how Tumblr works but when somebody blocks you #you are not able to see their blog #Also blocking people has nothing to do with me being high or mighty #It has to do with not allowing people on my page who clearly don't understand basic consent #If you can't do something as simple as putting your age or an indication that you're over the age of 18 then why do I want you on my page?? #I don't want people following me who allow minors to interact #It's my page and I get the block whoever the hell I want
