rant post incoming because i just have very strong opinions on this one specific topic and i need to get it out before i explode:
lately i have been thinking a lot about the common perception of intrusive thoughts …which is to say, the common perception of intrusive thoughts and, more importantly, what they think of People with intrusive thoughts. and honestly, it is just. abysmal. especially with the whole recent (ish) …trend? i suppose of “i let my intrusive thoughts win” which is an Incredibly damaging statement like you cannot believe..now i don’t have tiktok (thank god) nor do i use twitter anymore so i cannot verify the lasting impact for myself, but from what I’ve already seen and been told , the fact that people have managed, through that trend, to warp the meaning of intrusive thoughts in the the eyes of many people as “intrusive thoughts = impulses you get that you know are bad but secretly kind of want to do (ex. eating a whole chocolate cake or dying your hair a super neon colour at 3am)” has just….probably set back this whole conversation several years. and like the fact that it was a trend on social media of all places has probably just made it worse. i mean, think of it, if someone who has actual intrusive thoughts, like the “really bad” ones, goes “yeah, I get intrusive thoughts about hurting my friends and family”, the people whose understanding of intrusive thoughts that have been shaped by this trend of “letting the ‘intrusive thoughts’ win” are probably gonna come along and think “oh my god, you secretly really want to hurt your loved ones? you must be a sick and horrible person!”
which. no!! absolutely not!!! not only does that further demonize people who get intrusive thoughts (and especially the ones that are, you know, serious crimes and horrible moral violations), but further confuses people on the difference between what an intrusive thought is and what an impulsive thought is. like just think about the word “intrusive” for a second. it intrudes. its going somewhere it shouldn’t be; it’s a nuisance. in this context, a thought or image entering someone’s head that the person REALLY doesn’t want being there. because if a statement like “oh haha i let my intrusive thoughts win” became true, a lot of horrible things would happen. the point is that you DO NOT want “the intrusive thoughts to win”, because that would mean - as an example , serious harm done against other people or the person experiencing these thoughts themself.
the phrase “if I let my intrusive thoughts win I would be in jail or dead or both” is exactly it for many people. yes, it’s uncomfortable to talk about, yes, these subjects are very hard to think about but that is the Point. this is why people think they are monsters because of their intrusive thoughts. this is why people isolate themselves because they think they will somehow do harm to others because their brain is making them think terrible things. and let me repeat that. Their Brain is making them think terrible things - not the person themself.
my point being, this whole thing about people misunderstanding what exactly an intrusive thought is can be directly harmful to the actual people who experience them, and this really needs to be remedied somehow. and i have no idea how, but people at least need to Know. I’d be happy if at least one person comes to the realization that what they’d been taught from an Internet trend (or some other misconception) is wrong, and can change their beliefs for the better.
and before anyone goes after me for this , this is coming from a person who gets intrusive thoughts very frequently

[Start ID. A drawing of @mieczmaszyna 's character Izzy. In the words of its creator, Izzy is a humanoid robot with a white chassis, oval head, black headset, square green glasses, claws, and a tail resembling a cable plug. Ai wears a cowboy hat, vest decorated by a star and bottle cap, pants with tassels, spurred boots, and a red bandanna. He's viewed from the side, kicking up one leg and holding both arms out in front of itself to shoot finger guns, looking excited and rather jaunty. The background is a dull yellow-green, muddied by the warm reddish tone of the drawing, and in paler green are the words "BANG BANG!!" by ais arms. End ID]
robot cowboy!!!

Hey, so if anyone here was unaware
On Twitter, someone has come out with information regarding Gabe Velez/Gamerduck (frogbots va), talking about their experience with him. (the post is linked below but I need to warn you guys for multiple mentions of SA and abuse)
I am not going to say much else here other than I am fucking disgusted. I cannot even put into words how angry this makes me. Fuck Gabe, and fuck anyone who still supports him after this.

Not what it seems... (fake gore warning)
Happy Thanksgiving!
Zero always seems to get a little wolfy this time of year... XD
So, you're probably wondering wtf is even going on here.
Well, this is kind of a reoccurring joke I had where Zero turns into a werewolf every Thanksgiving instead of it properly timing out to Halloween.
Rock and the turkey costume, though? Based on a joke from a stupid comic series I made years ago that's never getting uploaded.
And, yes, I know explaining the joke kind of kills it, but it's either that, or have no context, and I'd rather people some have context.
Anyway, may post some bonus content for this either later on today or at the very least, before the month is over.

Normally meh about soulmate aus but I think a Jonsasha au where they aren’t originally each other’s soulmates until they both start becoming the Archivist. They make themselves the other’s soulmate without even meaning to. There is no one else who could understand them. Soulmates because they are two halves of one monster. The Archivist is only complete when they work together. When they become one mind in two bodies. By the time the world ends their soulmate marks have already been warped beyond anything that could be understood as a soulmate mark by most.

I think it would behoove a lot of people to read this quote irt Astarion's character made by Neil Newbon himself.
https://www.pcgamer.com/baldurs-gate-3s-astarion-neil-newbon-on-acting-the-truth-of-trauma-as-a-survivor-theres-a-lot-of-stuff-that-came-very-close-to-home/?utm_campaign=socialflow&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com
"You have to play every reality, you have to play every side of him."
It's just.... baffling to act like people who get ANY of the 'bad' endings are like bad people for doing so. These endings aren't added just to be some "teehee isn't this so messed up *wink wink*" kind of thing. They were put in with reason, they were included with intention. All the endings a character can get are explorations Of that character. Both how these characters can make a better life for themselves, or how they can fall to the worst outcome. All of these endings are "realities" the character can end up at depending on how their life goes. Astarion's ascension, Gale either dying or becoming power hungry, Shadowheart becoming a Dark Justiciar. ALL of these were added with the reason to let you play the game and see how vastly different their lives can turn out.
Ultimately, Baldur's Gate 3 is an *RPG*. A Role-playing game, one that's based on DND. Having "good" and "evil" choices is literally one of the largest aspects of DND and the Baldur’s Gate series. DND literally CREATED the Good/Neutral/Evil - Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic axis, all with the intention of both characters in universe, and player's own created characters to be able to explore ANY of the four corners. All of these choices, routes, and endings exist both as a result of the exploration of how their life could be affected by support/lack of it, as well as how they could potentially shift across the alignment chart due to their development. Because ultimately development doesn't automatically mean "person becomes a better person and achieves the ending they deserve", both in real life and in the game it can just as easily come to "person ends up arriving to the worst possible outcome they could have possibly had."
Ultimately I have to say as well, if people are bad for even exploring these routes to see how the development takes place, then by this logic you must know that you're also essentially stating that the developers are also horrible for ever including these options into the game from the first place, right?

possibly an unpopular opinion but i feel like sjm’s writing/plotting have gone downhill, which is disappointing bc i enjoyed tog so much. i actually did like the first 4 acotar books and hoeab, but her most recent work feels like she’s trying to do too much with the maasverse and it’s not well thought out (i had so many issues with the larger world plot elements of acosf and the regression on bryce’s character arc in hosab…). it feels like as she’s gotten more and more popular, whoever her current editor is doesn’t do a good job at making her ideas work best for the overall story. i’m disappointed bc the premises have so much potential but haven’t lived up to it to me :/
send me your unpopular opinions and i’ll either let you in or not

transphobes suddenly think they become loremastersTM when they have opinions on bridget because they parrot some misconstrued lore but when you ask them how do you block an overhead they’re like i don’t really interact with the community so i don’t know the language :/
No way are people STILL arguing that Bridget isn't trans MONTHS after Daisuke Ishiwatari himself wrote bilingual (trilingual..? do they post the devlogs in Korean..?) statements in clear as hell writing about how she's a trans woman??? Seriously???????
I remember when she was first released and suddenly everyone was N1 turbo master level at Japanese language and culture too lol
"Well Ackshually the 9th reading on this kanji that I looked up just now on Jisho that only shows up in Arcade Ending B in one line invalidates ur point" <- only knows the の hiragana because of memes
