#feigning stupidity

[furiousgoldfish]

Abusers will not only insist they didn't now when they hurt you, they'll actively resist any information that would lead them into finding out.

You give any sign of pain they're attacking you from 10 different angles, blaming everything in sight (mostly you) and then when you tell them directly that they hurt you, they're suddenly allergic to information lalala I couldn't have known, why didn't you say anything. But you did and it's still 'I'm innocent I knew nothing I still don't know and next time I do it I will still not know what I'm doing, no information gained here. You also hurt me that one time and I'm about to attack you for that right now to distract you'.

And when this happens they either expect us to fold under pressure and give them a suspension of disbelief and make ourselves believe that they're just to unbelievably stupid, or they're insulting our intelligence, laughing at us because they think we're stupid. They know exactly what they did, and it if happened to them, there would be no end to the hell they'd raise about it.

I literally will think of the stupidest shit and if it makes me giggle, it's "canon" now. It just is. Idk why I keep doing this.

#Odysseus goes full stupid when he first meets Penelope. Helen is a lil “mad scientist” with her potions. Menelaus is a silly sealy boy. #Menelaus and Odysseus have sleepovers where they cry about their families. Odyssseus and Diomedes are toxic exes #Clytemnestra is a horse girl. PENELOPE IS THE WATER WIFE™ WHO DOES WEIRD SHIT!!! #... #Anyways. can I get some suggestions from the homies for something Odysseus is allergic to? Anything except animals. #doesn't have to be something eaten it can just be him touching it. kind of thinking of shrimp as that was something #ancient Greece had. This is literally because the thought of someone being like “You ate/got into ___ again didn't you?!” #*red hives. voice all raspy and fucked up. not gonna die but you know* “...No.” #and that just feels like something Odysseus would do and it's so fucking funny to me #also. what better way to feign madness to dodge a draft than to get sick with fever and then end up insane? >:D #shot by odysseus #Mad rambles #my headcanons

FIC: landscape after cruelty

by viverella / @youichi-kuramochi Fandom: Genshin Impact Relationship: Zhongli/Xiao Rating: Mature Word count: approx. 8.7k Summary: “I’m thinking of constructing a new abode,” Zhongli says after some consideration, careful enunciation around each syllable like something precious. “Away from Liyue Harbor. Somewhere quiet to retreat to.” He leans an elbow against the tabletop, resting his chin in the palm of his hand, and considers Xiao thoughtfully for a long moment. “Tell me, Xiao. What kind of a place would you like to live in?” (What it takes to build a home.)

we have the kind of media literacy that makes us a king among men on booktok but a blubbering idiot on tumblr

#we need to watch video essays on medias so we can steal their opinions on themes and shit (feigned intelligence) #we're decent at analyzing quality through a meta lens and whether or not something is glorification offensive etc #but unless we can figure something out by very literal interpretations we're done for #until we were 15 we found the concept of themes stupid because from our perspective nothing except like #those animal stories everyone knows has themes #now we're aware but we still default to the interpretation of thinking the author thought these order of events was cool n shit #ap lit was hell on earth for exactly this reason. we had to have the themes told to us #and other reasons too but. man we don't understand symbolism #people are like 'omg connor you should get into stories with unreliable narrators theyre so good' we should NOT sorry #at least we're self aware

shoutout to the older guy who regulars my work for sharing with me that he thinks hes autistic (no! not in a condescending way! in an actual genuine way!) because old man autism representation is all ive ever needed

#feigning #autism #feel so weirdly joyful about this #“im not like stupid i just have social setbacks” #please tell me more #enjoy ur sandwich dude

[unearthlydream]

it is becoming increasingly hard to fake positivity and happiness. and people are noticing and asking things and I just don’t know what to tell them.

#personal #like I’m only supposed to be sad online !!! brain get your shit together holy fuck !!!! #I just don’t have the energy to force conversation or feign happiness or even emotion in general at this point #I try to drown it out and fill the void with literally anything but nothing helps. nothing has helped for a while. #and so I’ll just keep sitting here. keep #procrastinating and keep being standoffish and keep making things worse for myself and suffering in silence bc what other choice is there #I can only ever articulate what I’m feeling through written word. I don’t know how to talk to people and the words don’t ever come #and even when writing things down I painstakingly review every line and rewrite and delete and rewrite until I have just…. nothing #I can’t make sense of it so how am I supposed to communicate anything to others so they can help? #and regardless they can’t help. my brain is fucking stupid and I can’t function and I’ve been lying to myself for so long #saying I’m capable and I can be successful and I can fit the mold and fake it until I make it through but I can’t. I can’t. #someone killed themselves by jumping off a dorm at my uni yesterday. it could be that easy. it could be so simple as a free fall. silence. #I’m just so tired.

hanlon's razor ("never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity") is the most fake thing anyone's ever said. its a lie. you have to be either naive or egotistical to take it at face value. exactly where do you think it will put you if you are constantly underestimating your enemy by assuming they're stupid.

i rely on the exact opposite and its never failed me. never ascribe to "stupidity" what can be adequately explained by malice. especially when it comes to bigotry.

most people are not stupid, and acting like they are is dangerous for you. the truth is a lot of people just fucking suck

#.txt #feigned ignorance and playing stupid is ingrained in US culture especially the right #people get angry when you point this out but I’m too autistic to care #esp because the reason they get angry is they know the jig is up or they have to hold their bigoted relatives responsible lol

i hate playing 4d chess

#UGH #last night my father ate some of the salmon that i had been saving for myself #and he tried to make ME feel bad for pointing it out and saying that it was mine #and he said 'if youre lucky when you get older you can get to punch down on ME for eating salmon that YOU bought and cooked' #like. wow #really saying the quiet part outloud now huh #like that is just so fucking stupid im not sorry at all #i just feigned being apologetic for him to get off my back about it bc i didnt want to start anything #fucking jeez #sorry i just had to complain for a second that was just so fucking stupid

No one buys your stupid little kid act anymore. You made it clear how massive of a cunt you are.

You are mistaken if you think you can hurt me by calling me a cunt, I’m literally Australian, my mum calls me that every other day, and you can’t walk down the street without hearing someone use that word.

#pressed stressed obsessed i got ‘em… #idk at least i don’t send anon hate to people i’ve decided to hate based on the fragments of them i see on fandom tumblr #but hey mckaila and co if this is you: why don’t you just message me and tell me what you actually want. that way you can stop stalking me. #the thing i’m most embarrassed about is stupid little kid act like CRINGE i’d way rather own being awful than feign being dumb and innocent #anyway #belle answers asks

If AI could truely make art then it wouldn't need databases full of everyone else's work to do so.

If AI could make something by itself it shouldn't be pulling from other artists work to mash it together.

Drop it in mspaint. take away the databases. see what "art" it makes then.

#text #layering and mashing art together isn't an ai making art #it's a machine mashing ad layering art together #drop the ai in an art program #give it an actual paint brush and let it paint #then I'll be impressed #but until you drop the databases of stolen art it isn't making art #it's a machine feigning creativity though theft and layering #if i get one on those stupid ass 'anything is art' fuckers on this post it's a block on sight

currently thinking of shinichiro as a john mayer fan…

#[ ☁️ ] — katie talks #like imagine watching john mayer’s live on tv #and shinichiro thrumming his finger to the beat on the side of your thigh #a cigarette burning between his lips as he lowly hums to the music #out of the blue he turns to you and asks you ‘would you date john mayer?’ #and you shrug quite immersed into the show while shinichiro only gapes #‘would you leave me for him then?!’ he outbursts #you shake your head at him feigning innocence #‘i mean.. he’s a good-looking fellow. nice voice. nice hands. probably rich…’ #and shinichiro gasps. his ebony gaze in disbelief as he puts down his cigarette #‘i thought you love me?’ there’s now a pout on his lips and you scoffed at him - lighthearted #‘then don’t ask stupid questions. it’s not like i can meet him or anything’ #he stares at you then for a good minute or two #and when you return his scrutiny he smiled - sheepish #‘about that… i got us a ticket for his concert’ #‘no way shin?’ #‘yeah i did. so would you still choose him over me?’ he sulks. #you nudge him with your shoulder making him look back at you ‘no way shin 🥰’ #‘doubtful but i’ll take it for now’ he says as he pulls you close warm lips brushing your temples ‘i won’t let his charms take you away’ #ANYWAYYY #just him trying to play a guitar after that incident #and once you found him out he’s like ‘i bet i’m more loveable now huh 😉’ while you only roll your eyes at his antics #SOBS HE’S SO PRECIOUS #sorry if that feels rushed #LOLOLOL

#I always find myself trying to convince myself that I’m this tough and unfeeling person #I tend to hide behind any armour that I can pile onto myself #distance. humour. laughs. feigned indifference. *sometimes* crude language. #but I’m a fuckin softy and I give myself so freely sometimes and get hurt so often and yet I keep doing it #I haven’t been able to find a way to stop doing it. ever since I was like 15 #and I used to get so annoyed and angry at myself for it. for still being this soft when I’ve experienced hurt #earth-shattering hurt. so many fucking times #would always get so mad at myself for not being the cold person I wish constant that I was. I want to be guarded and cool and never fall or #even have feelings at all sometimes. but I can’t #I know in my heart and in my mind that I am incredibly strong. even through heartbreak I still wake up and my life doesn’t stop #I keep going. I keep pushing. I do the work. and before I know it I’m on the other side.. and then at some point I inevitably fall again #and I used to get so angry with myself ….. but I realize now that.. that maybe it’s not so bad #I realize that I don’t regret the way that I am. as much as it makes me upset sometimes #I don’t regret wanting to be open and seen with someone. I don’t regret wearing my heart on my sleeve #at least not in these non-heartbroken moments. sometimes I’m sure I regret it or at least come close when the hurt is fresh #but that’s one of the qualities that I’ve come to love about myself. that I can give myself freely #I have learned this over the years. and I do have some boundaries. I’m soft but I’m not stupid and for that I am proud #but I love love and I just want to feel it and be unashamed. even when it doesn’t look the way it normally does for me #I can truly say I’m in love right now.. and I didn’t think I could get back here after everything. but I’m in love with my resilience #and I’m in love with him. and that’s so fucking wild for me to say #who knows where this love will take me. will take US. but I’m so excited to find out #hi m. I love you. let’s see where this goes 🤍 #anyways #shut up lc #I love babbling in the tags #I case you haven’t noticed lol #M

girl goes to see Peter Shaffer's Amadeus live and she fucking loves it. 17 injured 56 dead.

#help i am having a mental breakdown screaming crying shaking throwing up ghawing on my arm bawling my eyes out #i have. a lot of feelings. #it was amazing #just amazing #it doesnt happen often but I really fucking loved it and cant say a single bad word on anyone from the cast #it hits so much more and is so much more heartbreaking when you *know* all those stupid mozart anecdotes #but i gotta feign Being Normal About Stuff so im not sharing them with neither my aunt or my mom or her husband. #they wouldnt wanna hear it anyway. so yes i am gatekeeping Mozart (or rather. pretending im gatekeeping simply because nobody cares about #what i could possibly tell them lol) #anyway it destroyed me as it always does but this is the first time ive seen it live and i was also pretty close to the stage and just #dear lord #god #i cant #wolferl. you deserved so much better ily #amadeus #mozart
