I would personally like to thank all the gen x and elder millennials who allowed me to be the “kid” in all of my favorite fandom spaces 15+ years ago because lord knows if I was anything like the youth in some of my newer fandoms I should have been blocked by at least 2/3 of my faves

#I think there was a whole other rule of law in fandom back when I was under 18 honestly #and honestly in my very early 20s too #because the idea of yelling at my faves for being creeps for talking to me about a video game #while encouraging me when I had a test or even giving me advice when I asked for it?#none of them talked to me about anything that I wouldn’t tell my kid sister EVER. and they reminded me to be safe too! they were great!#now tho…everyone is super suspicious of everyone while treating the internet like their diary and it’s insane #…I feel so sorry for the young ones. I really do LMAO #(grateful I was trained to both not give every single detail of my life and mental illnesses away online)#(while also not being paranoid that everyone over 18 was going to do something inappropriate)#(it’s reversed now and the youth are SO MUCH WORSE for it)#….I may have aggressively dated myself with this but LMFAO the people should know I am not that young by now #the me tag

not putting this on that last reblog, but like, relevant to it - i feel like a lot of people have an extremely bad relationship to death. specifically, in a way thats very cultural and not innate.

i mean, how much has already been talked about with how uncomfortable people are with thinking about the meat that theyre eating came from something alive, and how they dont want any reminders of it? this is a recent change, and a very specific geographic change as well. people are suddenly a lot more squeamish around death, even necessary death. not just of predation but of animals dying at all, even in cases where the animal needs to be put down for quality of life reasons. it feels like its gotten a lot worse lately, of people trying to keep animals alive long past they should have been humanely put down, just because they cannot possibly deal with the fact of death.

it sort of feels the same way for human death as well. i mean, just look at the order of the good death and what they talk about, with how the removal of death as a natural and normal part of our lives seemingly only makes the hurt of it all the worse.

it feels like people are even less familiar with animals and less familiar with the messy parts of being alive, so far removed from nature, that they get even more freaked out by just the simplest, most basic parts of it. it feels like how people have gotten way more afraid of insects and spiders now that theres a greater degree of separation forced between us and the natural world. and because of this, it now makes the ongoing ecological crisis all the worse, because fear makes it so much harder to save what we have.

#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#like im just #idk #at a certain point i feel like we should start encouraging people just to go and watch a hog get butchered yaknow?#like not necessarily killed just. watch the preparation of it #watch some bone cleaning videos and taxidermy videos #the brain scoop had some fantastic dissection videos that i dearly loved #but also just. try to attend some of these things in person i suppose?#life is messy and ugly and nasty and gross and i love it for that #and you should get more comfortable with it being so #without trying to change it #god it feels like were getting worse than the victorians in some ways. but at least they had memento mori.

This video is about 8 minutes long, but it is well worth watching to the end. This is why we must share the Good News of Jesus whenever we can, because someone may need to hear that message.

Friend, if you need to hear this today, Jesus loves you so very much, and He always will. Nothing can ever separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39). Amen! 🙌

#jesus loves you #bible #christian blog #god #belief in god #faith in god #jesus #belief in jesus #faith in jesus #christian inspiration #christian videos #christian faith #christian encouragement #christian life #christian living #christianity #encouragement #keep the faith #make him known

Another day of swifties being way too invested and over involved in Taylor’s life.

I have read a portion of Scott’s email but stopped reading halfway through. But from what I’m seeing online.. I mean is any of this new info? So the Swift family are total Capitalists (capital C)? We’ve known this for years. So Taylor’s parents may not have always had an amicable relationship - while on the verge of or going through a divorce. I mean we don’t need to know that (and shouldn’t??) but it’s hardly shocking. A parent feeling like their teenage kid doesn’t appreciate them or recognise all the things they do to support them - mindblowing.

Another day of overanalysing minuscule things Taylor has said, and changing the meaning of song lyrics to fit the current narrative - that Scott is an abusive father/husband. Apparently Tolerate It is about Scott now - funny how it was about Joe last week?? Maybe we just need to accept that we really have no clue what’s going on in Taylor’s life (and I feel more and more that the stuff we do know about Taylor is a very carefully crafted public persona - again not very shocking).

Honestly, the only thing that matters right now in the year 2023, Taylor stills has a very public and seemingly positive relationship with her father. Taylor is not a teenager anymore, she is a woman in her 30’s, she can decide if/how she continues to have a relationship with her parents. Scott - along with Andrea - constantly attend her shows, and the family were all at the Chiefs game just a few days ago. Whatever may have happened 20 years ago they at least have a somewhat amicable relationship now. Considering this is all in relation to a court case I’m going to hazard a guess that Taylor has known about these emails for a while- so clearly she’s not too angry at her Dad? If she (or Andrea) didn’t know, or are actually more resentful/angry then they’re willing to let us know - that’s fine, that’s their prerogative. Because it’s their family.

#taylor swift #Joe was right lmao #I dont mean Taylor was wrong #I just mean if I was in his position and my mega famous partner wanted to #become even more public and invite even more speculation and rumors into our lives #I would’ve dipped straight away #sorry but I could not cope with this #the fact that people think it’s ok to speculate and make multiple videos about Scott and Andrea’s personal life’s #just because they are Taylor’s PARENTS #that is astounding #and.. I have to say Taylor has actively been encouraging this #I mean it was fine when they were doing it to Joe so it’s fine that they do it to Andrea and Scott right??

This song feels like a big warm hug 🥺

#this is the 3rd time i've watched it im sobbing #I lost my dad two years ago.#throughout my life he was the one showing me songs. He loved playing music on his computer #he encouraged me to sing #he recorded videos of me singing (i still have one of those recordings)#He had a guitar but never had the time to teach me #He was always so proud of me when i sang even tho looking back i kinda was just off key but i didnt care because I enjoyed it #It's like he was my biggest fan #my best friend even #Unfortunately I had to watch his cancer worsen #And eventually watch his body slowly give up.. from the moment i got to his room and he was having a seizure of some sort #Til' he couldn't wake up anymore #I could still picture his feet turning purple in my head #I used to be so outgoing but since then everything just changed #i became introverted #i learned to distract myself but i never learned how to heal #i became aloof.. distant and somewhat closeted #i didn't want anyone else's company but my own #i've gone through anxiety and had a few attacks #but although i was different.. i didn't change either #people kept telling me i was so caring.. i could fit the whole world in my heart #i understand what people go through although i cannot relate sometimes #The pain is alike #i try my best to atleast help those people in pain #i stopped singing at parties and anywhere with karaoke in it #Because even though there are still people who support me.. it's not the same.#I didn't have my first best friend. My first biggest fan.#it's not like hes a perfect father either.. he has his issues.. but i've never smiled or laughed that hard with anyone else #i've grown so distant with people.. especially my mother #the way suzu declines her dad's offers.. i find some resemblance with myself

it really sucks how you can’t even be a mildly to extremely quirky person (doubly so for people with visible disabilities or mental illness symptoms that manifest in “weird” ways) in public anymore because people dying for attention on the clock app have to turn you living your life into a spectacle,, leave weird people in public alone

#afaik no one’s ever filmed me being inevitably weird aka living my life in a public space for a tiktok but it’s so nasty #but like you shouldn’t go to the store or be on public transit and have to worry about creepy strangers taking videos of you for tiktok #i hate tiktok as y’all know and i really encourage as many people as possible to delete it #nicole.txt

Re: your follow up post, ig. I’m second gen ish Taiwanese American, aspec, and gender wobbly (she/they, I think?? Still working on that bit). I’ve always felt on the lines between categories. Not really this, not really that. Close enough to be perceived as a thing, but not really. I love dbd for the entertainment value, ofc. But what makes it the best of best, imo, is that you do put so much thought in the dialogue, and that dbd is so intensely relatable in ways I don’t usually see. Thank you.

not really this, not really that. not allowed a voice, being told to go away, this is not for you. nothing is for you. oh, hmm... you belong over there, told x2

(let's not get into the 'degree' of chinese-ness, too with the contention between taiwanese vs mainland vs hk, and then for mainland we have our own bs. you'll never be a thing. you're expected to embrace that freedom, the lack of 'leash', the individuality as an american. but of course, you're never american enough, either.)

i love all the readers of dbd, and of course with all things we have favorites. there is a special place in my heart for the ones that reach out and tell me that i wrote something that connected with them. not to be petty and catty - but because i've spent my years seeking those connections and not finding them - you'll be hard pressed to find something like dbd (~ she's not like other girls~ kidding but not kidding)

and for me...

it's like coming home, to know i'm not alone out there. so thank you for reading 🥰

#inquiry #Anonymous #feeling kinda emotional bc i watched a v good video essay on crazy rich asians lol #you caught me at a vulnerable time #representation does not have to be the aim of a story. but that's if we take all stories out there in a vacuum without context #like each fanfic i read w oc's and si's can stand on their own as stories of their own merit #but all together - in the near two decades of me reading fanfics #i can count on one hand the fics where the characters and motives didn't have to be scrutinized through the Complex Assimilation Algorithm #even for stuff that's not western. i stuck with mostly western things and tried not to think about it #with mdzs the pro is that it felt like certain concepts and perspectives could finally be voiced and were given names #and the con is. well. people misunderstanding that.#unwillingness to listen and empathize; even though people like you and me have probably been forced to do the same all our lives #lol idk i'm def feeling hard about this #like when someone gets something so wrong in an anime-based fic i just 'lol bye'#but in mdzs fics i just... it feels bitter and painful and spite-inducing #this is not like how anime got popularized. you sought this out. you went out of your way.#and you have the audacity to not respect that it's not gonna fit your worldview; refuse to adapt your perspective?#be it malice or ignorance #it's like being pelted with stones all your life #i encourage people to approach media (not just fanfic; all media) with a slower pace. reserve judgment. keep in mind context.#it makes the experience richer

huge pet peeve is when theres a video and someone in the video or the person filming is laughing and then u look in the comments to see a bunch of people complaining about the person laughing/telling them to shut up. why do you hate the joy of others. why are you evil. anyway people who film things that bring them joy and laugh while filming keep it up ily

#im not talking about laughing as in 'making fun of someone' laughng i mean like laughing at animals being cute and such #ik i just said i mostly watch videos on mute i was just reminded of this #you dont have to enjoy the sound of laughter but if you complain about ppl laughing in their comments im exploding you w beams #saying this as a person who hates sounds including laughter sometimes #its rlly easy to just go wow i dont like that person's laughter and continue on w ur life w/o being a bitch in their comments abt it #not every one of your negative thoughts needs to be voiced 100% of the time esp when its stuff like this #n e way laughter is wonderful i highly encourage it <333

Some of my favorite excerpts from Tom Bryant's Not the Life It Seems: The True Lives of My Chemical Romance (Part 14)

"There was a key moment when the set turned around. Gerard slowed the pace and took a minute to address the crowd, drawing upon the band's recent experiences with the Daily Mail. 'They wrote an article calling people who listen to our music or fans of us a cult,' he yelled from the stage to the very people the Daily Mail was talking about. 'They called us a fucking cult. Do you believe how fucking ignorant that is? And that we promote self-harm and suicide in our lyrics. Do you fucking believe that? So we're here to tell you that you, our fans out there, are not a fucking cult but an army! And that nothing is worth hurting yourself over. Nothing is worth taking your life over. Do you understand?'

And with that, he began to shout, 'Fuck the Daily Mail! Fuck the Daily Mail! Fuck! The! Daily! Mail!'. The entire Reading crowd joined him, a vast chant of 'Fuck the Daily Mail' roaring out across the festival site, a rallying cry for everyone there.

The bottling became a long and distant memory, while the chant itself has become an iconic Reading festival moment. My Chemical Romance would not forget the level of abuse that greeted them, nor would they forget the support they left with.

As they walked from the stage, Gerard made himself a promise: he would never return to the festival unless he was headlining it."

#yall this reading festival performance is insane #i could have put the whole section of the book talking about it but it's a lot #basically they walked on stage and the crowd HATED them #they threw bottles and food and all sorts of shit at the band #and the guys didn't care #they ENCOURAGED it #they said bring it #and it was such a power move. them just giving a great performance while this crowd threw shit at their faces #and it WORKED #cause they won the crowd over #by the end the crowd was singing along #and it's just the coolest thing #my chemical romance is powerful #i also linked a video to the chant because it is cool as hell and you can feel the anger and the power and it's just awesome #mcr #my chemical romance #tom bryant #not the life it seems #gerard way #frank iero #mikey way #ray toro #the black parade #reading festival #Youtube
