#but everyone is trying to sell it to you

[chokopoppo]

Ohhhh my god saw a short recommended to me on YouTube of a woman talking about how she wears shapewear to make her daily outfits “fit” better and the comments were full of people saying “yes the point of these garments is to make you feel more confident! ☺️ Where can I get this piece?” And it made me want to scream like

If you need to hear this: shapewear should not be daily wear shapewear should not be daily wear you do not need these garments, they’re expensive and they can cause soreness / pain with longterm use, and if you see a video of a beautiful woman talking about how a specific garment from a specific company makes her feel Better and More Confident, she’s not your gal pal letting you in on a secret, she’s selling you a product. You don’t need a flat stomach, and no one has one anyway.

Advertising is getting sneakier and more insidious because younger people are becoming more resistant to traditional forms of advertising. When you see videos like this, ask yourself: is this person really more confident because they use this product? Or is this supposed to make me feel less confident in myself because I don’t?

#not that any of my followers really need this message but it REALLY grossed me out #confidence in yourself and in your body comes from within. you can’t buy it #but everyone is trying to sell it to you

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.

Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."

The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.

And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

#love how they manipulated people into spreading that post by making it seem like a cishet vs gay thing #when the real message is OP thinks trying to sell your writing is cringe and 'weird' and 'normal people' with jobs would never #which would of course never have flown on the fandom website #so they played into the queer shipping is purer than cishet shipping puriteen thing #and it worked! #because my god people are gullible #this is the direct pipeline that leads to AI thievery #''normal' people write for the joy of it anyway so why do you need pay? you are just greedy and 'weird'!' #'oh no this isn't about who we get to call cringe and who gets to profit from art it's about um... #(quick what's a hated m/f ship?).. oh uh 'shitty' REYLO #and not our super pure uh... (spirk is still popular right? lets throw in that avengers one too to make it seem timely) stucky!' #I'm sorry if I have no sense of humor about this but the year is 2024 and people are still way too ready to sneer #about writers trying to earn a fucking living in the shittiest timeline #and i need you to look deep into yourself and ask you why it's so important to you to tell yourself that only people writing what you like #are 'normal' with real jobs and to vilify everyone else as 'weird' and 'shitty' #for trying to make an income during a financial fucking crisis #i would say sorry for ranting about this but I'm not sorry because wtf #write whatever you want #publish whatever you want #there is no moral fucking purity in what the content is #and one thing certainly doesn't make you more 'weird' or 'normal' than the other #like there is soooo much shitty mlm that started as fanfic??? #that post is 100% OP made up some guys to get mad about and called them relyos for the clicks #writing #publishing #writblr #writeblr #i wasn't going to tag this anything but you know what fuck it I'm mad #i had like 5 more tags but tumblr cut me off which is fair 😅 #fan fiction

My aunt is very sensitive to strong scents (buys my deodorant so that we know it won't harm her, because other than a couple brands, they give her migraines, we don't have scented candles, and I have a couple of perfumes, but I never wear them), so we're super careful there, but we also can't go into some stores because the perfume counter is Right There. When we go shopping, she knows to look for me in the candle aisle because I'll stand there sniffing each candle and giving a review to whoever is with me at the time

.

#sounds like we'd probably have good time sniffing candles together #answered #anonymous #yeah the perfume counter is a hell of it's own #I live in a relatively small city so I can only think of one single shop that has a dedicated perfume section #so at least those are easy for me to avoid personally #I used to hate perfumes because the only ones I ever had experiences with were the fruity floral candy smells marketed for women #and the obnoxious overbearing alpha man perfumes for men #there's a lot of variation and interesting combinations if you venture outside the highest selling most strongly gendered mainstream ones #I stubbornly kept testing various ones until I figured out what notes and types of scents I like #and I feel like I have established a pretty reliable pattern #but I understand it's not for everyone and I genuinely try my best to avoid offending people's noses #my favorite thing is to put some on in the evening after I've taken a shower but before I go to bed #just for myself to enjoy for a couple hours

Usually I just save stuff like this to my drafts until I calm down but you know what, fuck it, I'm done.

Any so-called leftist who refuses to recognize that our options right now are "genocide abroad, progress at home" and "genocide abroad AND genocide at home" and that there is a significant difference between those two options is cordially invited to eat shit and die. We do not have time to entertain your anti-voting hopeless nonsense. A future in which we are able to move towards less death will always be preferable to the one in which we can't, and if you smug, sneering little clowns sacrifice that future on the altar of your own self-righteousness because you're too high on your own farts to realize how far up your own ass you are, I genuinely hope you fucking drown. Specifically, I hope you drown in the blood of the people who will die all over the world as a result of your bizarre refusal to work towards a future that doesn't include ethnic cleansing.

This is the United States. We sell war, here. I don't know how so many of you are only just now figuring that out, but you better get over your shock like yesterday because we are out of fucking time. We ran out of time when Reagan took office if not long before. You think not voting will improve any of this?

Keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming. Governments everywhere are (slowly) beginning to listen. Democrats are (slowly) beginning to listen. But Republicans never will, and if they seize power again next year (which they will absolutely do their damned to attempt), everything will be so, so much worse for everyone, everywhere. The work is slow and painful and imperfect but it will only get done if we show up and do the work, so keep calling, keep writing, keep screaming-- and when the time comes, you show up and vote for the future that lets us build a better tomorrow instead of just choking to death in the steaming shitpile of today.

#''i can't have No Genocide tomorrow!!! so i don't want No Genocide at all!!! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH'' that's you. that's how you sound #''if i can't have perfect then don't even fucking bother with better!! just give me worse instead!!'' are you for fucking real #you don't care about Palestine you don't care about anything other than being able to go ''Well. at least I didn't choose this.'' #not choosing is still a choice! you stupid motherfucker! #choosing to stand at the lever and do nothing and watch the trolley crush five people is still a choice!! #how DARE you act like that blood is not on your hands! #again: THIS IS THE UNITED STATES.

[casualavocados]

this is such a solid show so far, i dont even know what to say. episodes feel long, but they're not boring. they're lingering, they last. it takes everyday emotions and everyday experiences and lets them play out; it confers importance to the small things. the story and overall plot-per-ep is simple yet genuine, and everything and every character feels so lived-in. i like the mix of fun and serious, i like the steady growth and trust between mork and day and the little buds of tension starting to bloom. i love the way the camera brings things to the forefront of the viewer's attention, the way expressions are shot and how long those shots are allowed to last on screen...you really feel the emotion coming through, and it really impresses me from both an acting and directing standpoint.....im just rambling but the jist of it is that i'm really enjoying this

#*gestures wildly* p'aof makes this shit look effortless #he comes up with the most original things and then makes them feel justified and ordinary #like the inflatable dinosaurs - oh yeah those were from a costume party years ago #its all just to show day having a little fun and i love how that...gets attention #like theyre not *trying* to build the romance theyre just telling a story #does that even make sense??? bc obviously the story is building the romance #it just all feels really natural and believable even though its only been 3 eps #it feels like its been longer #the characters are already changing but it doesnt feel like its moving fast #MAN. MAN! #last twilight #jimmy and sea are really selling it and so is everyone in the supporting cast #it all feels very entangled while still giving the most focus to the mains -you really see the story from their perspectives #IM. IM ALMOST MAD ABOUT IT P'AOF MAKES THIS SHIT LOOK EASY

a quite simple outfit, trying to use the little blue and white apron thing (which is actually a dress I think, that I just leave un-buttoned in the back and added an apron-like tie to lol)

Hey fellow milkweed nerds of Tumblr I have a question.

So. Swamp milkweed. It's pink! That's pretty cool. I wanna know how pink.

Because whenever I google Swamp Milkweed, whether its to look for seeds or plants for sale or just to show other people, the flowers look like this.

[ID: Three pictures of swamp milkweed, all a very very bright vivid hot pink with white middles.]

Thats Fucking Hot Pink. This bright ass pink is what drew me to the plant in the first place. If I were to find my Dream Swamp Milkweed, it would be this pink.

However, a lot of the times, I end up finding swamp milkweed that looks more like this.

[ID: Two pictures of swamp milkweed, both from the same plant. The flowers are a light, nearly white, light pink.]

Its a much lighter, more of a strawberry-milk pink. These are pictures I took from my own swamp milkweed plant, but from the pictures I've seen in my gardening server, a lot of them have plants in a color similar to this.

So what I'm curious about is. If you grow swamp milkweed, or have seen it growing in the wild, have you ever seen it as pink in the first example? Or is it just Photoshop magic? And if you do have it that pink... do you have any seeds you'd be willing to share?

#milkweed #swamp milkweed #pollinator gardening #pollinator garden #asclepias #asclepias incarnata #like im genuinely curious #as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr I Want To Know #and also as the self proclaimed milkweed queen of Tumblr if you have a vivid pink milkweed plz send me pics and also seeds #i can send mexican sunflower seeds in return if you want even #i genuinely wanna know because I swear when I see images of vivid pink milkweeds its either a site trying to sell milkweed #or a site trying to promote native milkweeds #NOW. I bought some bare root plants from Home Depot #they haven't flowered yet but if they come back next year and they're vivid ass hot pink then I'll have fulfilled this Research Question #but until they flower next year (if they even come back I kinda neglected them on accident) I am DYING to know #i have seen NO ONE thats like a real person with bright ass pink milkweed #is it a thing they do when the plants are older? is it a specific strain everyone's going crazy over? or is it photoshop #vote now on your phones #ani rambles #out of queue

[lesbianshepard]

this is like. the cringiest discourse. but i love when people complain about how steven universe should have shattered all the diamonds at the end of the series and you're a nazi sympathizer for not agreeing.

like, at what point was he supposed to kill them all? he needed the cooperation of all three in order to reverse the corruption. do these people want him to convince all the diamonds to feel remorse, trust and love steven, only for him to reveal he's only been using them and manipulating them in order to do this one thing, and then just straight up kill them? you want a cartoon for children to end like that?

#m #it is funny that everyone like yeah. after establishing that they're no longer a threat he should have just murdered them #okay yeah you try to sell cartoon network on that i guess

[handweavers]

does tumblr know that by monetizing and blazing and trying to sell merch of the ides of march meme or whatever they're doing they've instantly made it extremely unfunny and lame

#it feels like . manufactured . you are trying to sell me something . no longer fun you ruined it #like. joke over everyone go home

[floralovebot]

tbh i think the funniest fanon!helia misconception is the "he's Actually really shy and anxious 🥺" one like this man did NAUGHT immediately gift Flora a portrait of herself, walk around naked with just a towel on in front of riven, and immediately go ride or die for timmy for y'all to say he's Shy. this man has no shame ‼ he does not give a shit ‼

#SHY #girl please #his entire introduction episode is the antithesis to shyness #mr kiss your girl's hand jump in front of a monster then LEAVE like he does not care #he is openly flirting with flora every chance he gets declares his love in front of everyone kisses her first LIKE #WHERE is the shy #cause it's not with him !! #winx helia #you could argue for social anxiety but that doesn't immediately make him Shy #the man that went door to door trying to sell his paintings like what shy people do you guys know like actually #changed the funny to the fake kiss to the real portrait oopsies #i was thinking of him bowing plus the other times he kissed her and it just mixed in my mind

if ur loudly anti ai bc u support artists, but then u think artists should do commissions for less than $100 a piece.... which is including hourly wage, the cost of their skill level (years of training), the tools (tablet etc if not trad materials), and even giving you rights to use the art..... then do you actually support artists right to earn a living wage or not?

#nonhorsgaem #just really fucking annoyed at ppl who think artists should work for pennies but then go omg ai is whats ruining jobs for artists #sweetie for that 15 dollars u wanted to pay the artist would need to generate 95% of the pic in ai to make it worthwhile #if they actually need to pay for food and living expenses and healthcare and you know things humans need to live #teenage artists who do it to earn extra money for unnecessary expenses should not normalise low costs and bring down - #the perceived value of artists work for everyone but thats exactly what happened during the history of digital art on the internet #and now even ppl who are actually trying to pay their bills and eat food are pushed to sell for nothing while you say “i hate ai” #but youre not equally loud about fair commission pricing and the actual value of artists work outside of the ai context

It's supposed to thunderstorm on Saturday so our camping trip got cancelled a-fucking-gain. I'm so bummed out.

[polysyndetonaddictsupportgroup]

if toji suddenly reincarnated back into ssg, how would each character react? like obvi gojo would try to hollow purple him on sight but he manages to hold himself back to get some answers from toji instead. do the others know that it was bc of toji that megumi is stuck in the situation he’s in rn? would megumi even want to talk to his dad?

and how would toji take finding out how the zenin treated his son? he thought that he’d be safe and happy there and then he finds out what they did to megumi and that it was gojo and co who stopped it.

Everyone knows that Toji sold megumi to the zenin.

I think it actually really bothers Megumi how it’s common knowledge. He doesn’t know anything about his own father other than he sold him, and that’s not even private to him. He’s just some unwanted kid who his dad only had to sell like prized cattle.

It was never a secret that Toji sold him to the Zenin. Maki knew, and she already told the others when giving them the rundown on what happened. They’d all know that toji’s the reason megumi’s stuck in this situation.

The second years:

It depends on when he arrived. If it’s when Yuuta still hasn’t gotten the RCT backlash under control, then he may have to worry a bit about the power of love and also this sword.

He’d survive. Not unscathed. But he’d survive.

If it’s after Yuuta’s gotten control, Yuuta still would hate him, but he wouldn’t be as proactive about it. Mostly because Megumi would feel weird about him making a fuss. He’d intervene every time Toji tried to talk to Megumi if Megumi established he didn’t want to talk to him. He’d try to quietly get him the fuck out of there. He'd radiate an aura of murder whenever Toji came close.

Maki would ice Toji out on principle. Like, she’d hate that she had to. Toji’s supposed to be the only one who understands her. They’re both Zenin clan rejects. They both were hurt in such similar ways.

But only one of them sold their fucking kid back into that hellhole, and that ended with Megumi in a hospital bed. She’d be bitter, internally, that she couldn’t try for something like a relationship with Toji. She’d wonder if she betrayed Mai the same way he betrayed Megumi. She wouldn’t outwardly react to him. She’d ice him out.

Inumaki and Panda would embark on a quest to ruin his fucking life. They’d short sheet his bed. They’d put itching powder in his pants. They’d put bleach in his shampoo. All would fail, but this would not discourage them.

The adults:

Gojo would bend over backwards to keep Toji away from Megumi.

Gojo's playing the game of "only let Megumi get information he can physically handle" right now. that's why he's refusing to let Maki tell him the truth about the Ten Shadows. He knows his kid. He knows Megumi's impossibly fucked up and is not going to tell them how badly or ask for help for what happened. He knows Megumi's going to break if anything else happens, and he knows that Toji showing up out of nowhere and dropping six bombshells on him is not something Megumi could handle. He'd squeeze Toji for insider information on the Zenin and threaten to punt Toji to the moon if he didn't stay the fuck away.

Toji would not be impressed by the threats.

Nanami and Shoko would refuse to have anything to do with him. Shoko wouldn’t speak to him. Nanami would, but only to inform him that his sole priorities are the wellbeing of his family, and that Megumi has a right to speak with Toji if he so wishes, but if he doesn't, toji needs to steer far clear of him. He's done enough. toji may have been his father biologically, but Nanami was the one who carried him home--twice--after the family Toji sold him to broke him to the point he was close to death. Nanami has been there for the parent teacher conferences and the nightmares and all the shit Toji never even tried to be there for even when he had a chance. Toji surrendered his place in Megumi's life, and it's been filled. And Toji should not dare to try and hurt nanami's family again. He's already done enough.

Megumi:

Megumi hates him. And he wouldn’t want to talk to him.

Megumi never talks about his dad. If someone asked, he’d say he doesn’t care about him, didn’t expect better from him, and doesn’t care that toji sold him. It’s hard to be hurt by someone you never expected to love you. He’s not surprised; he’s not disappointed; this is just his dad being on brand. He was a piece of shit before and a piece of shit now.

He’d be lying.

His dad selling him to the Zenin cut megumi deeper than anything else in his life. The zenin were always his abusers. But Toji was supposed to be his dad. He was supposed to take care of him.

He was supposed to love him. And a part of megumi has never been able to understand why he didn’t.

In megumi’s mind, he had to have known what pieces of shit the Zenin were, and he sent him there anyway. And Megumi hates him for it, he really does.

I guess it really depends on when in the sgg timeline it is. Like, are we dropping him right in the middle of the currently chapter?

Megumi would assume he’s a hallucination. He’d think his brain would be just fucking with him and making it all hurt more. It would make him violently upset, and Toji would have to be removed from the room, and Gojo would probably have to knock Megumi out to get him to calm down again.

If he’s gotten better, then Toji would still make him violently upset. But he’d be aware enough to hide how much.

He’d refuse to see him. He’d refuse to talk to him. He wouldn’t want to be in the same room as him. His dad couldn’t be fucked to ever be there for him, so Megumi doesn’t see why he should drop everything to see him now.

Megumi's not in a mindset where he could ever healthily see Toji, coming right off SGGs. like, he's traumatized out of his fucking mind. He's absolutely unable to handle the added stress of his deadbeat dad coming back to life and wanting to chat.

Toji:

Toji would kill all of them.

The thing is, I don't think Toji actually thought Megumi would be safe and happy with the Zenin. I think that's the lie he told himself to justify selling his son to his abusers. Like, he knows his family's cruelty better than anyone. He knows that even if you have cursed energy, they're not exactly tender parents.

I think he was just in a spiral, struggling with a gambling addiction, and was trying to take an easy way out and lying to himself about what exactly he was doing to his son.

He'd feel like shit over it, the confirmation that he son could be literally the most important person for hundreds of years to the zenin and they'd still hurt him. He'd kill them for putting Megumi in the hospital bed, for hurting him all those years ago. He wouldn't know how to begin fixing things with his son, so he'd do what he knows how to do, which is just fucking kill the people who hurt him to begin with.

#sea glass gardens #i made this entire post about toji's character once and in sum i don't buy for a second that he actually thought the zenin would take care #of megumi and make him happy. he was lying to himself. you don't go to /sell your child/ with the best of intentions #nanami knows he can't beat toji in a fight but also he doesn't care #he'd die to keep megumi safe right now #right now nanami's playing the role of the person managing everyone else's crises but he's impossibly fucked up #keep in mind he was the one who had to carry megumi home the last time the zenin did this #and he swore to megumi that he'd never let it happen again #then he had to carry megumi's body in again this time and it was just as broken as before #megumi wasn't the kind of child to let people pick him up often #the last time he carried him in childhood was when megumi was broken and bloody from what the zenin did to him #he never picked him up again until he was carrying megumi in from the car #and he's so goddamn sorry for that he really is #toji: i'm going to kill the entire zenin clan #yuuta currently not normal and desiring the same thing: okay okay okay okay #he's trying not to have any reason to like toji okay

[boxwinebaddie]

i have writer's block and depression, so i have nothing major to post, but to cheer me up, i am giving you some slut era!jersey lore. <3

in rm!kyle's room, by the bed ( which, again, is a mattress on the floor with some navy target bedsheets on it; he's a whore, we know this ) / sometimes in the closet ( it depends how much ~stuff~ is in there )

there is a brown carboard box that has "Lost And Pound ;)" written on it in pink sharpie and big loopy girly #extra asf handwriting that bebe presented to fuccboi kyle one night as fun & fresh way to collect all the misc. articles of clothing, trinkets, invent-whorey items that his idiot boy hookups leave behind when kyle's done with them and they're being thrown out onto the street. <3

bc, usually, he'll give you likeeee thirty seconds to grab your shit and get out? but if you're too slow, sucks to suck...literally. so, as you can probably imagine, a LOT of boy belongings accumulate in there.

however, unlike an actual lost and found, if you forgot something, you cannot come back and get anything you accidentally left behind -- some boy left his nintendo switch and kyle threatened to Bludgeon Him with it if he so much as breathed in his direction again, lmaooo.

i'm so serious, like, if you manage to book a legendary jersey kyle session, one, congratulations, bc it was the lay of your life, two, i'm sorry because he's never going to call you, but most importantly three, once you pass under the too low, paint-chipped doorway into his room ( ky hits his head on it 25/8, it pisses him off so much )

— you better hope that once you exit out through that doorway ( or the window if kyle is Extra Irritated ) that you have anything you love and treasure On Your Person as you go, because once it's in the lost and pound, it's blondies property and if you try to talk to him OUTSIDE abt it??? ohhhh my God, dude, he will pretend not to know you, he will squint at ur dick, he will Embarrass and HUMILITATE you in ways that you will think about at your wedding, your child's first birthday party, every xmas...jersey will chew you up and spit you out.

ergo?

don't try it.

anyways! i got sidetracked. so where i was going was that while no pathetic idiot worm boy kyle sleeps with is allowed to reclaim his missing shit, sheila taught kyle to be a ~resourceful king~, so kyle just offers the Objects Of Rejection up to marj, bebe and tweek to use for various art projects. ex. if tweek is painting but doesn't want to get paint on his clothes, he can use a lost and pound shirt, if bebe wants to do a fashion girl thing, she can use a flannel as scrap fabric, tbh sometimes marj sews patches into her skirts/makes aprons/uses socks & stuff as rags when she's doing cleaning around the house.

i'd call the l&p a slutty college boy good will, but it's more of a...

Bad Won't

...if you will. ;)

well, whatever the case, kyle is evil and unsentimental and refuses to create any sort of accidental attachments to said stupid boy things, so everyone can do what they please with the lost and pound items.

usually it's just clothes, but sometimes they get Good Shit like air pods once??? omg??? one time they got a cellphone, an apple watch!!

boys do leave their car keys and you'd think kyle would be nice and give them back, but...kyle is Naught Nice, lol, so if ur lucky he'll say something like "go long, football boy" and chuck them out the window and if you are Unlucky, he'll call you on the burner cellphone from a past lost and pound experience and make you listen to your car keys getting absolutely demolished by the garbage disposal <3

...he's just so Sweet, isn't he?

luv u jers xx ;)))

tldr; lost and pound supremacy! the gayng do be grabbin a hoodie from the l&p when they're freezing bc they late paying the electric bill, doing artsy stuff or just bc they think a shirt is cool. speaking of,

i think there was a crimson dawn teeshirt in there once...

Interesting.

Everyone who says zelda is bad is being trick theory’d by the swarms of dumbass gamerbros insisting it’s the best game ever created and that EVERY game should be like Botw or Totk but all IM thinking of is the tiny little 8 bit guy. Turn into a bunny or a microscopic little ant or split into four or maybe even go on a little sailboat. Can we hold hands and frolic in the fields together.

#kitty talks #also pokemon has turned into such a souless fucking cash grab. they aren’t trying on purpose bc they know no matter how bad the game us #ppl will buy it bc oOhH pokemon!!!!! #they aren’t gonna make it better if you keep buying and making the shot ones sell really fuckimg well. #and don’t come at me w ‘well everyone will buy it anyway so why does it matter’ think that way and it doesn’t. #most ppl will admit to think the recent games have been shit. #they come out half finished!!!! the devs have even come out and said that it’s horrible. cmon guys #I like the little guys too I won’t lie I think even the news guys are super cute BUT. the game they’re in is fuckimg AWFUL
