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
#aurum.txt#now i have an entire lack of the ability to be concise so i do apologize for how long and disorganized this post is#i didnt even bring up this aspect in the main body but-#this whole stigma around intrusive thoughts does have an actual impact on the people who get them - like really (ik thats obvious but)#for example i will always carry the assumption that any and all people I’ll try to explain my intrusive thoughts to -#will automatically think that i actually think/want to do these things (which is the complete opposite of the truth!! no i don’t!!!)#and im sure this is the case for many other people who get them too#but you can see how this actively works against and is detrimental to said people when they try to get help for it#how are you supposed to confidently report something like that when the assumption is that you’re a monster for even experiencing it?#when it’s completely out of your control?#agh im sorry i just. these kinds of things make me very uh..i suppose upset?#and i dont hear it discussed nearly enough as it should (or rather as much as id like it to be)#especially with just how much that one tiktok + etc trend must have spread and misinformed a good chunk of its userbase#i am just. so fed up#btw if youve read this far thank you so so much for sticking around with my literally mad ramblings and i love you <3 /p also-#tw self harm#tw intrusive thoughts#tw ableism#<- not entirely sure if ableism is applicable but just in case#oh! and if this ever takes off (which i do doubt) please let me know if i should tag this with anything else#also. dont follow me for this post i am simply some artist with a lot of opinions and a big mouth and i dont make this kind of post often…

[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]

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.

inspired by elli's poll lol cause this seems fun actually but if you guys have bad answers I'll kill myself on your doorstep or smth
#“rori all of these are your faves how can there be a bad answer” well I still have an internal ranking on some of these#and if all of you pick an option that I think pales in comparison to the others. well. hm#I know what's gonna sweep though because two of these are niche as hell and 4 maybe 5 of these are things you people don't follow me for#fun fact I actually had to scrape my brain to make sure I couldn't come up with any more#I am unintentionally very picky on what is a favorite apparentlyyyy#I also just don't watch/read enough stuff these days so there's that#AND I NEED LONG TERM EXPOSURE TO KNOW THEY'RE STICKING AROUND#so like. I have some options but I don't KNOWWW if they're sticking yet#but this feels like such a small poll lmao#also no sapphics on here this is actually cause I hate women-#NO. JOKING. zelink is here. I almost put gideon and harrow but I'm in a perpetual state of not having finished tlt#and I couldn't put nebetta and darya I was drawing the line at 2 tbos ships. well. actually. changed my mind#not editing these tags actually you guys can see my thought process#WAIT AND SAYMARI. FUCK. I LITERALLY MADE A PLAYLIST FOR THEM I LOVE THEMMM#ok. is 4 tbos ships too many. hmm#I said 2 of these are niche now four of these are niche it's really the “which tbos pairing is your fave” poll#THIS POLL IS SO FUNNY IT'S SO SELF INDULGENT I HAVE TO TAKE OUT AT LEAST ONE TBOS SHIP#I should add one more general one...#cause I do actually want genuine and varied answers I gotta give y'all options so they don't all pool at the first two#I also almost put ellie and abby on here.. that would've been so funny four popular 1 rarepair 3 super niche ships#ellie and abby are soooo interesting to me though so of course the thought of them having something horrible going on together compels me#and they are one of my 3 favorited ao3 tags... they deserve a place...#ok well while I debate on that I'm putting akutagawa and atsushi on here I admittedly have only had like two months of exposure to them#but it is enough I can tell they are so crazy to me#the way my tags are just me overthinking everything on what is supposed to be a fun and silly poll... no one does it like me I'm afraid

#this one's like a fucking mystery. who's that pokémon?? what pokémon is this?? you can't fucking tell unless you open the cut or read below#where i tag what pokémon it is. i think i'm gonna put this one's tags above the actual name of the pokémon just to throw y'all for a loop#because this one? i don't even KNOW what counts as front-facing. i'm ASSUMING it's the top one?? but the prey eyes are just#unbelievable so i included that one under the cut. i don't even know if i can consider that “prey eyes” at this point. what is this thing??#what's the thing protruding?? a mouth?? it doesn't lend itself to making it look any more like a moon! it just— it just protrudes!!#i really just don't understand. what or why this pokémon is or exists. what type is it? pure psychic?#nnnNNAURP rock/psychic. can't believe i forgot about the rock typing considering the way that guy with the solrock in swsh#raid battles used it. whatever i think i've successfully revealed what pokémon this is by now#lunatone#and yes‚ i know now that zangoose walks on all fours in pmd. THANK YOU!!! FOR TELLING ME. EVERYONE ON TUMBLR#i got it when the first person told me. i looked them up. i saw them. with my eyes. i feel like i've talked about pmd enough in these tags#and in asks that i've answered that you all should know how much of a pmd fan i am by now but i guess it's GOOD TO CONFIRM#perhaps no one really does read these tags. unless they have an opportunity to correct me. lasered in on that#i'm not like mad i'm just like WOW everyone told me. that is SO many people telling me after the first one did and i know SO hard#anyway. i'm gonna go remove these tags from the dusclops post. pphhhheew

it's crazy to me that there are people out there who still think that media and fiction do not affect how people think at all
#like that whole 'does fiction affect reality?' debate is so stupid to me cuz it's like#i mean just think about it for a second. what is propaganda? what did jaws do for people's perceptions of sharks?#i think studying the effect that popular media and fiction has on people in real life is really interesting#and it's crazy to me that there are people on the internet who think that it genuinely doesn't#like umm shoutout vit sisler for his paper 'digital arabs' i just read it for my game studies class and it's super interesting#about like orientalization how western shooter games' usage of middle eastern/muslim stereotypes as enemies created both a negative -#- stereotype for people who arent in that group and how it negatively affects the mental health and self-image of the people who are#also shoutout stuart hall and richard dyer they're really cool people and also have some super interesting papers on how representation -#- in media affects people's IRL perceptions of certain groups#i know online this focus tends to lean on that whole shipping discussion but i think it's more worthwhile to look at it on a wider scale#because 'does fiction affect reality?' is not just a 'fandom ship war' discussion it's like. the basis for many fields of study#anyways umm#liza post#actually this is more like a#liza ramble#i love tumblr bc i can write a one sentence post and put my body paragraphs in the tags#it's really late and i am tired ‼️ i wish i could be more concise i just adore my game studies class and visual culture studies in general

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.
#although honestly you don’t even need a soulmate au for most of this#just the marks I think#watching your mark change and knowing that what’s happening to you isn’t the machinations of fate#or a predestined occurrence#but a CHOICE#if you were meant for each other then maybe becoming a monster was just what was meant for you#but that’s not what happened. the marks changed. you chose to become this and you chose each other#normally I’m not super big on soulmate aus?#like I’ll read them if I like the ship or the premise catches my eye#but I don’t often think about them or seek them out unless I can find something to chew on#and I like the idea of jonsasha as eldritch soulmates#warping each other’s fates with the weight of their choices#I’m not even hyper fixated that much on tma anymore but I still love this ship so much#so much potential I love to chew on Them#jonsasha#since this’ll probably show up in the tma tag:#please no j//mart or martin#I don’t like the ship and I don’t like him#I’m not sure how many people will read this far into the tags#but I always feel like I’m throwing a fit over nothing putting my ‘no martin’ request in the actual post itself#tma enjoyed unfamiliar with my martinhate I am going to trust you to either read the tags or to not see any reason to bring martin into#*enjoyers#my nice wholesome eldritch soul-warping jonsasha au#do not let me down#jonshipping#<- tag for putting jon into relationships so that I can rotate him like the pretzel#also also not mentioned in this post but jonsasha are t4t#ok that’s all thank you#goodnight tristate area

I think it would behoove a lot of people to read this quote irt Astarion's character made by Neil Newbon himself.
Tumblr media
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 :/

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
