#getting it off my chest

[plumsaffron]

I don’t normally criticize or even insult this hard but these are the few times I’ll do because I’m not the only one having enough of a certain fandom’s shenanigans:

I used to tolerate and even slightly like Miraculous Ladybug for several years since they were first released just bc their opening was catchy.

However, ever since “Chameleon” was released, it started a huge trend of Lila Rossi hate content. I’ve never seen such a magnitude of hatred on a controversial fictional character or even other characters who are innocent compared to previous shows I’ve watched. And y’all have seen it corrupt and infect other fandoms when they crossover since the late 2010s to even the present…

The last fucking straw was when I was searching for Kimetsu no Yaiba: Demon Slayer fics on here, an untagged salt fic showed up with it! I was like fuck this, I’m removing anything miraculous out of my social media blogs and bookmarks/favorites on fanfic sites I use!

And Thomas Astruc is a rather pathetic human being, because he projects himself a little too much by stating that Chole is based off of his past bully; him and his ex girlfriend had a virtual daughter, Marinette. I have nothing against self-inserts but this is a bad example, not letting go of the past that leaks into popularized fictional media where.

At this point I think Miraculous is not worth of anyone’s time, new curious viewers or former fans.

Ya know sometimes I just need to be left in my little hole and not disturbed. I love my family but I also love to be left alone and not have my family’s routine disturbed. My husband and I just recently came to the realization that we actually hate having people stay in our house. Not all of them, mind you, but most of them. We just don’t like feeling like we’re a guest in our own house and being as we’re going on 20 years of marriage, and having owned our home for 14 years - we don’t think that this is a big ask. I just needed to get that off my chest, because I can’t drink a gallon of bourbon (which sounds very appealing right now) and murder, I’m told, is wrong.

Hey there,

Just wanted to give a sign of life.

I am slowly navigating into calmer waters and sorting things out bit by bit. I have not forgotten about my wip's and badly want to starting picking up writing again. A new laptop is needed but I'll hopefully be able to get one soon.

Hope you are all doing well ❤️

Hugs to you!!!

The thing that does get to me about the coronation is definitely the angle of 'this country is in a terrible state now why are we doing this grand opulent event', and the thing is I understand this, but I don't quite see it in the same way. The last coronation also was in a time of relative poverty in Britain - the country was broke after the Second World War, rationing of certain goods was still in place and the empire was about to disintegrate. Back then, however, the coronation could be seen as a sign that things might get better, that we had something better to live for after such a massive global trauma as WWII.

But the poverty we live in now is different. It's not an unavoidable consequence of a massive armed conflict, including years effectively spent under a national seige. Instead it is the direct result of willful policy by our elected government over more than a decade (austerity, Brexit, Liz Truss etc.). Our country has been intentionally divided and pit against itself by a party that calls itself 'conservative' but really just want to strip the state for parts. To that end, they are happy to use the monarchy as a tool in their game, another symbol that they can repurpose in service of their culture war and thereby attempt to squash dissent. Hence why they're happy to splash public money on the royal family, even when said royal family state outright that they do not need it (see e.g. the government offering £200million to spend on a new royal yacht that was explicitly rejected by the royal family, or when Prince Philip died and Queen Elizabeth refused an offer from Boris Johnson to alter Covid restrictions for his funeral).

And so, in what to me is a sad irony, even if the monarch themselves would wish to improve the lives of 'their subjects', they are incapable of doing so in any really meaningful terms, because the monarch (rightly) has no meaningful power over elected officials. Thus, if the government of the day has an agenda that is actively make life worse for most people in this country (the latest batch being the new voter ID laws that we've been seeing the effects of at yesterday's local elections), there is nothing the monarch can do to meaningfully stop it (and I will remind you you wouldn't want them to have that power to do so either). I'm also not convinced that an elected head of state would actually do anything to help this either.

Of course you have a right to feel angry, of course it's fine to prefer the idea of an elected head of state over the monarchy, of course it's OK if you feel uncomfortable at the ceremonial and pageantry. I myself think at the very least there should be large-scale reform of the monarchy as an institution. But between Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Westminster, I find the latter a far better target of my anger, because for me this coronation throws into such sharp relief just how much of a mess our politicians have made of this country. And that's not even getting to their enablers on Fleet Street that have such a stranglehold on the political discourse in this country, who are arguably even more culpable that the politicians themselves in our current mess.

Thinking about making some changes...

I've been kind of falling out of Madness Combat as of late with other fandoms catching my attention. I still enjoy Madness, just not as much as I did when I started this blog.

To put it bluntly, there's a possibility that this will become a multi-fandom blog in the future.

With regular bot terminations aside, I LOVE Tumblr with every fiber of my existence for being a social media site that prioritizes fun over statistics and acts as a safe space for people who want to post what they like, when they like.

Knowing I and many others are granted this freedom is reassuring at best.

That being said, I know there's more I can be contributing to on here. For things I'm into and for my personal benefit. I've had scenarios with my other original characters on repeat I'd like to get out there 'cause I can't turn my brain off for squat.

So if this turns into more than my Madness OCs and sketches, you now know why.

Thanks for reading.

Manipulation in the guise of a Mother

He lays in bed, hearing her whistle from the other room. The same old tune that she used every morning to wake him instead of actually coming into the room to get him.

The whistling means that it’s 6am, time to get up and start the day. Get up, dry the condensation from the bedroom windows that has accumulated overnight and then assist his Mother getting ready for multiple hours until she deemed herself fit to go out and do their fortnightly supermarket shop with him.

Except today he really didn’t want to. This was a tiring life for anyone but no fourteen year old should have to live this regimented lifestyle. He felt unwell and the cold of the outside world was keeping him from wanting to leave his bed.

A trip to the supermarket was never fun at the best of times but it was a guarantee that he would end up doing something wrong that would annoy her during the trip which would lead to him being punished when they got back home.

The whistling continues for a while before finally he hears her stir and get out of bed before coming around into his room.

“Are you getting up at all today?” she says pointedly as she enters the room and open the curtains.

“I don’t feel well, I really don’t want to do this today” he answers.

“You know I can’t get it done without you, what are you playing at??

“I really don’t feel well, I’m sorry I can’t do it today.”

“Get out of bed and help me get ready.”

He lays there and doesn’t move and eventually she leaves the room. He savours the idea that perhaps he can sleep some more, even if he gets another hour in bed before starting the day.

No such luck of course.

It’s 6.15am by this point, and he hears her returning to his room.

First there was the hitting, which he’d expected. He tried to cover himself with the duvet but it wasn’t enough as always.

Then the second wave - she begins to grab books from my shelves and tear the pages out of them, the hardback ones at least. The paperback ones are just torn straight down the middle and scattered across the bedroom floor.

Ones he’d read many times, some he’d not had the chance to read yet but all of which he cared for immensely - books were one of the only escapes from the horrors he faced day to day and imagination was a good place to hide.

He tried to stop her but wasn’t successful - either getting hit by one of the books which would definitely leave a bruise or just simply not being able to stop the wrecking of the books before it was too late.

Eventually she left the room and left him sat on the floor, surrounded by too many pages to count. He sat and cried while he looked at the damage around him.

listen. There's a whole mentality shift that needs to happen culture wide here, from the schools to the public infrastructure to pet ownership to the justice system

The proper response to your dog doing a natural behavior you dislike (digging/barking/protecting etc) it to give them an appropriate time and place to engage in that behavior

The proper response to skateboarders damaging infrastructure is to build more and better skate parks, or build skate elements into the public infrastructure on purpose.

The proper response to homeless people sleeping on park benches is to build them houses.

you see how there's like, a commonality at play here?

The proper response to a disruption is to address the root of the disruption directly, not somehow attack the disruption itself -

you don't invent a muffler by swinging a bat at the engine noise, you don't relieve your hunger by punching yourself in the stomach, you don't resolve public unrest by sending armed men to control them and you don't prevent homeless people using bus shelters as a roof by removing the bus shelters.

a whole ass shift in a basic mindset, i'm tellin' you. We need it.

i think the thing that is specifically bothering me about the conversation about the new hbomberguy video ("live your life in a way so that hbomberguy doesn't tear into you for 3 hours", "hbomberguy has figured out how to death note someone through video essays", "oh new hbomberguy video [incredibly dense paragraphs of text] i now despise james somerton") is that it really feels like people aren't paying attention to what hbomberguy was actually saying. like, as much as he wanted to make people aware of the plagiarism issue, he also very explicitly did not like the fact that he might even remotely have a financial incentive to make those sorts of videos. and rather than the last video, which was a "get mad about this" call to action, hbomberguy spent this whole video sympathizing with the people who were directly out indirectly affected, and wanted the focus of people's attention to be on uplifting small queer creators

but also, negativity drives engagement so i guess it's to be expected.

I noticed that an amazing fic I read with over 60k words and over 900 kudos...didn't receive a single comment in 2022.

There were some comments in 2021, then a gap, then a few comments from this year. That is insane.

Ao3 is not built like Wattpad, it is not meant to be treated like the 'latest hits' page where you only read the new works, or where you only click on sort by number of kudos. It doesn't matter if the fic you like is not wip anymore - if you really like the story, comment. A simple heart will do. The author won't think you're annoying, in fact they'll probably be incredibly happy.

Fic authors don't deserve to have their work just disappear with no engament after few weeks pass. The fics don't deserve it either

Toxic workplace

Sometimes I think of all the things I want to say, or do to advocate for a patient. Make them feel fought for when everyone in power is dismissing them. It stays in a simulation in my head, the aftermath of what could’ve been. Why do I stay silent, the motionless statue instead of putting up a fight? Out of fear will say the wrong thing or be shot down before I begin. People can be so bitter here. The ones that act entitled are the worst! They won’t sugarcoat how low you are in their eyes. As if talking to you is a burden in itself. Show some empathy or compassion. Do you even care? These are peoples live!

“No, I will not talk with the family”

how despicable, to not put someone at ease, or make them feel seen, or heard.

something i’ve been thinking about lately is like. growing up muslim right after 9/11 is something i’d never really reflected on much because it was all i’d ever known — at 5, my friend’s mum didn’t let her invite me to her birthday party because i was the only brown girl in our class, at 12, my classmates would joke about my family being part of isis, at 16, my dad was interrogated by american airport security for hours — and it always stung and it always hurt but it was just the way things were because the western world hated muslims. but i don’t think i’ve ever fully comprehended the extent to which we were hated until now.

palestine is being turned into a mass graveyard. every single day there are new photos of the atrocities being carried out against them and videos of them pleading for help and still those who can actually intervene turn a blind eye. israel is claiming to only be targeting hamas “terrorists” while bombing a refugee camp. israeli police raided and assaulted a non-zionist jewish neighbourhood. israeli soldiers are posting tiktoks of them torturing captured palestinians. this is not a complicated issue and it never has been. ethnic cleansing is being committed right in front of us. and yet the western world leaders refuse to call for a ceasefire.

and while zionist organisations accuse pro-palestine demonstrations of anti-semitism, while zionist celebrities insist that they’re afraid to leave their mansions in los angeles, a six year old muslim boy was stabbed to death and his mother wounded in the same attack in chicago. a muslim doctor was murdered while sitting outside her apartment complex in texas. hundreds of peaceful protesters have been arrested (many of whom have been jewish). despite what zionists want you to believe, this is not a jewish/muslim conflict. i have so much love and gratitude to my brave jewish brothers and sisters all over the world who are condemning israel for their actions.

ultimately, israel have been granted impunity by the west. they have slaughtered thousands upon thousands of innocent palestinians. they have bombed hospitals and schools indiscriminately. they have used white phosphorus, violating the geneva convention. they have completely eradicated nearly 900 bloodlines. how many more need to be wiped out? how many more children need to be buried underneath the rubble? how many more doctors need to be confronted with the bodies of their own family members? how many more journalists need to detail the horrific acts of violence they are witnessing? what more can be done to the palestinian people that has not been done already?

i truly believe that palestine will be free one day. i believe the palestinian people will receive the justice they finally deserve. but what breaks my heart is how much they have suffered and will continue to suffer before they are deemed worthy of help. and it would be to all of our detriment if we ignored how much of a factor palestine being a predominantly muslim state has played into the way the world has reacted to their genocide.

#edit: this is completely okay (and encouraged frankly) to reblog <3 #i just needed to get this off my chest because i don’t know how much more i can take #palestine #free palestine

To @tjhammond-rp...

Eventhough you had blocked me,I hope that things are going well with you on your rp blog.

But....

Your friends had attacked and bashed me so badly, mentally and physically on my anon asks. They told me to fuck off,to get off this platform because they think that i had treated you badly when we were in a rp relationship. I was at the point where i had nearly took my own life the way they had insulted me,and maybe you had warned ⚠️ rp people on their blogs NOT to roleplay with me. Some told me to go and kill myself ,to get a life ,and that i am a bitch.

I had nearly left tumblr because of this. But in all honesty? I had switched off my anon asks, too scared to put it back on .

I am trying to be BRAVE here by writing this. I am still trying to get my life together.

I guess that we had both took things too far in rp,but the constant way those rp women flirted opened and sexual like.... well i guess that's just the way it goes.

Ever since that happened, no one would ever rp with me anymore and it's been 2 years. And ever since that happened, i didn't eat,didn't sleep, lost weight, i became even more recluse from the world outside. I am seeing a therapist and thankfully that helped me.

I am still in fear of my life to put on my anon asks, so afraid to be attacked and bashed again.

Again, i am trying to be brave here by writing this. ✍. I am still going through alot. Still no one wants me in rp. Things has changed on here for me.

I just hope that people won't message me that knows you eventhough i have put off my anon asks. I hope that more of your friends in rp to inbox me. I wouldn't be able to handle more handle it.

So yeah... I had to get this off my chest.

Wishing you all the best and maybe you had found a rp partner that accepts you flirting openly in rp with other women.
