#but skewed

[dozenssporks]

I haven’t been the same since someone pointed out ‘Eriks’ is a corruption of ‘Alex’

#trigun #trigun spoilers #a dozen sporks speaks #alex was (maybe) rem's lover #I don't think it was ever made clear? #I think it's strongly implied tho #anyway something about Vash taking on the take of rem's precious person #but skewed #because he doesn't deserve to think of himself as someone precious to her too? #because he's failed her? #desperately hanging on to her but afraid to really face her? #honoring alex's memory for rem's sake but feeling unworthy? #an inability to truly cut ties with his past even as he's living a new life? #I just woke up from a nap I'm incoherent rn

#im going to throw up laughing its so funny i need to find a screenshot. EDIT SCREENSHOT NOW IN NOTES LOL #like obvs i knew he's a fan fave but this is actually extremely funny. guy who is the barometer of normal behavior compared to everyone els #but who is also fucked up and skewed in his own way #trafalgar law #one piece

[blazeball]

i just rediscovered the pelican spider. give me 1-2 business days to stop laughing at how they're shaped and ill be normal again

#i have a skewed perspective on what makes a creature weird looking on account of being a bug fan #but this thing is so funny to look at its just so ridiculous #and it lives its whole life like this. that's awesome #quincy.txt #inverts

#again not tagging fandoms in case it skews the results #relying on people reblogging #'sam' doesn't look like a word anymore

okay. listen. if you ever find yourself falling into a new ideological circle, pay attention. if you notice that you’re among people who define themselves as part of an “in-group” with a pre-prepared human “enemy” to constantly rail against—if everyone fantasizes about the mental state of these loathsome monsters, if they participate in witch hunts or (perhaps worse) poke bears and court harassment on purpose to comfort each other over—get the fuck out. you haven’t been enlightened to some grand conspiracy, there are no evil “enemies” or “degenerates” trying to rip apart the fabric of society, and you do not have the moral duty to “enlighten” anyone to whatever you think the “truth” is. it’s neither safe nor normal to spend hours of your day fighting with strangers on the internet

a lot of people wear this shit like a badge of honor, but it’s also not normal to hide your “in-group” status as a form of martyrdom, relishing when the “enemy” slips up around you. it’s comforting in the moment, but in the long run, you’re alienating yourself from the world outside of your bubble. the more you alienate yourself, the more vulnerable and lonely you become, and the harder it is to reject the comfort of belonging to the “in-group”

i’m writing this from the perspective of someone who grew up in a cesspool of awful, cult-like rural churches—which is its own situation—but i see similar shit happening in online communities all the time, both within and 800 miles outside of my own ideological principles. yes, every toxicass radfem i block seems to be trapped in a version of this vicious cycle, but i also see it happening in random queer circles and niche fandom communities. no one is immune, not even me. i’ve watched people fall into this shit and never make it out. be careful

#some ideologies come pre-baked with this nonsense #because they naturally revolve around an in-group and an out-group #but i swear to god people will start acting like this over fucking #anime shipping wars #which probably seems harmless to most people #but those communities skew very young #and i have no doubt that it can be psychologically damaging #no matter how inconsequential it seems to my jaded 26 year old brain #me when i make a post

guy who isn’t stealing any packages he promises!

#my art #ethoslab #hcs10 #honestly just an excuse to draw the cute bag #if you’re curious about the lineart quality i had to fix the skew in post bc i had been drawing at an angle #& i use the crunchiest possible interpolation #i kinda like it ngl

okay i wanna join in hehe

#edit: in hindsight adding autism/adhd probably skewed my results but guys thinking about facts about myself? hard #pweeeeaaaseee reblog so i can get a bigger sample size im sooooo curious #hyperspecific poll #polls #random polls #jess.polls

[hazeleyed-fay]

i feel like im in a weird demographic when it comes to the percy jackson live action series because of the age i was when i read them. cause i read the lightning thief for the first time when i was in single digits, so percy being twelve seemed appropriately grown up. and then as i got further into the series and into heroes of olympus, percy got older with me, and was always kinda broadly my age or a little older. so like, the movie cast was too old when that happened, because they were way older than me. but now the series cast is actual twelve year olds (or so) and they are so obviously just little babies that im now forced to confront the fact that uhhh percy was in fact a fuckin child when all this started??? exCUSE ME???

#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #boutta fight the gods myself on their behalf how can u look at their lil faces and think yeah im gonna kill them #anyway at least i have a couple months to come to terms with the inevitable passage of time and the skewed perspectives of childhood #before i lose my mind over the tv show in a completely different way

[itsybitsyjoltik]

the response to this poll is baffling to me and i'm wondering if it's an issue of definitions so here's a more comprehensive poll:

(belated clarification: i meant watching a playthrough/series you haven't finished as counting as experiencing them)

#joltext #now that i've thought about it i also think just the existence of the goncharov meme may have skewed things

[meirimerens]

youtube shorts is just tiktok without being on the app the amount of "i'm a [qualification] and [misinformation]" could make one turn their skin inside-out in protest. "i'm a board-certified OB-GYN & it's only been about the last hundred years that women have actually experienced menopause. We didn't live long enough to experience it" how can you be so incredibly wrong about something so integral to your practice. King of the Hittites Hattusilis III was told in 1250 BCE that his sister was too old to reproduce at age 50+. Aristotle wrote in the 4th century BCE that women stopped menstruating between ages 40 to 50, common menopause ages today still. i cannot begin to tell you how 4th century & 1250 BCE don't really count as "the last hundred years" unless that -s is doing a lot of heavy lifting. waiter waiter more misinformation laws.

#do they just be making anybody an ob-gyn these days. #what ''board'' is certifying this. your car's dashboard? #life expectancy for the past millennia was heavily skewed down because surviving infancy was Not Easy #but if you made it past that you could live to your 50s if not later. #we have multiple hypotheses about PREHISTORIC WOMEN'S menopause and how post-reproductive life in humans could have been an #integral part of the life of the tribe with help with child-rearing; gathering; hunting; medicine. like hello. #prehistoric menopausal women GET BEHIND ME [wolf growling] #neigh (blabbers) #sorry. i'm insane. gyno health and everything about periods & menopause is already so little understood & the wider medical body kinda #dgaf about if you keel out in pain from preventable menstrual diseases so if i catch anyone spreading misinformation. i'm going beastmode.

I've always been curious to know this about the people around me. Most people have been in severe pain, but in my experience few have had what they would say is their 10/10 experience. I guess it's just something I find fascinating, as I had my 10/10 experience quite young and I sometimes forget that not everyone has. In my opinion it changes your relationship with pain and how you engage with it afterwards. If you answered yes, feel free to elaborate on your circumstances in the tags!

(reblog for a bigger sample size etc)

#I was 13 and mine was after spinal fusion surgery for scoliosis. T6-L4 fusion and when i woke up in spinal shock it was agonising pain #they had to give me ketamine before the pain died down and even then it was only 9/10 #i was on a fentanyl drip for a few days afterwards and ever 5mins and 50sec id be dosing myself #my dad would take over my button while i was sleeping and set a timer on his watch to push it at those intervals #it was the only way i could rest as without it id wake up in blinding pain #definitely the hardest experience of my life. sometimes i forget that i went through that and came out the other side. #polls #chronic pain #disability #spoonie #cripple punk #cripplepunk #the tags ive chosen kinda skew the balance in favour of the yes but idk what else to tag it with. #it would be interesting to see if other disabled people have also had a 10/10 and how common that is

[anglerflsh]

hold. I'm curious about this now

*chosen/proper name, not necessarily a dead/legal name

edit if you have more than one name and aren't attached to any of them pick the fourth option thank you love and light second edit if your view of your name is neutral or you feel like you'd respond to anything. fourth option too

#[.txt] #poll #I'm on an end of the spectrum because idc about the name I'm called except prefering it not to be aligned with my agab #but I have recently been told that to some people it's a really important thing so I'm curious as to how that rates to tumblr dot com #anyway #take in count that I also don't have a solid sense of identity so my view of names and of the self is: skewed 👍

MEEPET - DARK/DRAGON

MEEPET suddenly appear one day in the bedrooms of young children. If they find a child crying, they'll wipe their tears with their pelts and try to make them laugh by acting out in silly ways.

Some believe MEEPET are born from children's nightmares , but have a change of heart and vow to make them happy instead. To keep from frightening them, it hides under a soft animal-like cloth.

TENDRAPET - DARK/DRAGON

Under their soft pelt, they have a frighteningly strong body. However, they strongly dislike fighting, as they are very docile- that, and it puts their pelts at risk of being damaged.

They are very gentle and usually good-spirited, but if one were to try and look under their furry cloth they'll go into a panic. It loves nothing more than to bring joy to others.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #jin ling #jin chan #Yeah that's right. This guy is a named character. All those nameless disciples in the yi city arc and *this* guy gets a name. #Jin ling finally gets his much needed outfit upgrade! Rest in peace double straps. #I adore how we get to keep learning about Jin Ling and peeling back the layers on him...It's also so sad to see him so alone and friendless #especially knowing he really was starting to build peer friendships in the yi city arc... #Jin ling really is one of my top 5 characters in MDZS and its absolutely in part because of how you can *see* how he ended up this way #and we watch him learn and grow! He's doing what most adults refuse to do: Consider that his opinions are skewed and need to change. #You are NOT immune to propaganda and I adore characters who reflect and struggle with that! #Just because someone with assumed authority says something that fits into what you want to be true does not make it true B*/ #In this series about rumours and warped perspectives - Jin Ling is a great example of how hard you have to work for the truth #+1 points of friendship with jin ling: He will self correct himself if he says a slur now
