happy pride month all I just had to explain to my mother that I can still donate blood despite my boyfriend being bi. She thought I’d be prevented ‘because of AIDS’. Sometimes I dislike it here.

A group of grown adults spent so much time cyberbullying a woman recovering from major surgery on Mother’s Day that she actually had to defend herself and her amateur hobbies… I hope you’re happy with yourselves. You know it’s gone too far when Kate, who is made of absolute steel and never lets anything get to her, feels the need to defend herself against the vitriol. That statement sounds so defeated. It was MOTHER’S DAY, people! And you spent all this time harassing a MOTHER OF THREE on MOTHER’S DAY about a picture of HERSELF and her CHILDREN taken by her husband who NEVER TAKES PICTURES? Disgusting. And just wait until any of the kids’ birthdays, or their anniversary, or Father’s Day, or any milestones - we’ll get one picture, if that, because now they have all the more reason to protect their family from the internet - and people will complain anyway! “Why don’t we get pics? Why are they so private? What do they have to hide? They’re not preparing their kids enough for royal life! They’re so bad at PR! Kensington Palace, you’ve really screwed up this time!” You KNOW why! This poor woman really made one hand too blurry and shifted a stair and this is what it’s come to? Absolutely disgusting. She must have been so sad if she was willing to make a statement - like this photo in particular really struck a sensitive nerve. All while recovering from surgery, mind you. My poor girl. I hope she’s okay, and that the kids and William are okay, and that they’re together and letting it all roll off their shoulders, and that each and every one of you cyberbullied her and treated her poorly because of the picture loses sleep tonight.

Encounters with transphobes have been so rare for me lately that I always forget there's people out there who are STILL at the "being non binary isn't real/is a mental disorder" stage lmao. Have they not move on from that??

I've been out and living as an openly trans non binary person for 8 YEARS.

8. YEARS.

8 years is a lot. I've had time to watch conferences on the topic and read so many articles that I can't possibly link it all. I've seen a psychiatrist and 3 different therapists. Literally NONE OF THEM ever saw my transness and non binarity as a mental disorder or as "not real". I've mostly been working on dysphoria with them this whole time, which was way more of an issue than transness ever was. I've been through a whole self discovery journey that I can't possibly describe in a single post, had so many deep conversations about it with so many different people, experts and non experts included, during those 8. Long. Years.

People who are dismissing non binarity are just ridiculous to me now. "Being non binary isn't real" buddy those last 8 years have been VERY FUCKING REAL. You are deeply uninformed, far behind the whole topic and I'm so over people like you. Stfu.

#text #trans #transgender #non binary #trans pride #non fandom related but I've had some encounters like this earlier on twitter and I need to take it all out #they don't even understand how uninformed they are and talk as if they are experts when I have 8 YEARS of this topic covered #the lion the bitch and the audacity of this bitch #and I am so proud of the person I am today and how much I've grown and developped self confidence those last 8 years #I'm almost 25 and been out since I'm 17 I'm so over their bullshit I don't have time for them anymore

last year staff tried to convert all gifs to fucking low quality mp4s. this year they’re trying to force gifmakers to only use the beta editor, which seems to ignore the 10 mb limit, lowers the quality and essentially crams gifs into a text post. really just goes to show how little they care about creators on their creator-dominated site.

#this is only in the last 2 years!!!! i have been giffing for ~6 and you better fucking bet that this is just the latest in a long line #of staff's attempts to fuck over gifmakers for zero reason #i am so fed up #between this and like the embarassingly low levels of engagement and acknowledgement when i post gifs #and the fact that im like. busy. with life. #stepping away from gifmaking becomes more and more appealing bc i dont have the time and energy for bullshit #staff fr going so far out of their way to fuck with gifmakers and drive them off the site it's bizarre #sameera.txt

Being frozen in time definitely does something to you. Physically it cages you. Mentally it throws you into the longest dream you could ever have. It's not comfortable-- far from it in fact-- but you've grown to look forwards to it, when you loose. It's better than being mashed to dark paste at least.

You're frozen right now, in fact. Waiting in silence for time to loop back. Stuck with your thoughts and a vauge feeling of a dream. The house is around you and you're moving through it. Empty rooms and endless hallways, curling and twisting in ways that make them feel alive despite the lack of any living thing that isn't you. No sad monsters, no frozen bodies, no dark stains. There doesn't seem to be an exit.

The dreams you have when frozen seem to correlate to how you're doing emotionally. Most of them have been lost to time, like most things in your life now. Dreams, wounds, emotional bonds; everything is turning back with you, and that’s started to do something to you, because now you can predict the actions of those around you with quite a bit of accuracy. You can recall little bits of things, but the further back you go is just static. There was a bunch of dumb things that you can’t piece back together anymore, there were times with those you love, there was endless rage flowing through your very being, and there was this. The desperation. The empty halls of the very House you’ve worked so hard to protect.

You want out.

You've kept count of how many times you've been frozen. How many times you've died. How many loops. 61 is the counter and it's far, far too many times to relive the same day over again. You grew tired of the monotony by the tenth go around. Twenty five felt like a stab wound. Forty, like you were being split in two. Big 6-0 felt like drowning. You don't feel real anymore.

But that's fine! You can still see the good in this, if you stretch your imagination like taffy, as far as it'll go. It's better to be just you, just one person, than everyone else! You can live with the weight of the country on your shoulders for a bit longer, if only to keep it off of Euphrasie's. You’re doing this for her! For everyone. You can do it for a bit longer. You just need to find the King’s weakness, or something. Make a more powerful potion, or scrap together the materials to make a second craft bomb, or, or something! You’ll find it soon enough. You’re smart! You can do this!

You have to.

You turn down the hallway. Find yourself on an entirely different floor. Just as much of a ghost town. Just ice and cold and tiredness, your breath forming clouds in the air. That’s fine. This is just a dream or something, anyway. You’ll wake back up at your desk any time, with the looming vials of all sorts of toxic stuff you keep drinking that you crabbing neglected to put away because you didn’t think time would crabbing loop, because realistically, WHY would you assume that would happen? Preposterous! Ignore the burning feeling in your throat and the smell of sugar and push on. Wait for it to start all over again.

Because it has to be you, doesn’t it? You wished for this, or something. You don’t remember. It was a long time ago. It has to be you, because only you have the power. It HAS to be you, because who else would it be? Euphie? She’s already got enough on her hands. Mirabelle? You’d rather die. It’s better you do this than the ones you love.

It has to be you.

it has to be you it has to be you it has to be you it has to be you it has to be you it has to be you it has to be you it has to be

It's sucks, having to be the one to do it. Your limit was a long time ago.

You can't do this forever.

To the illiterate people with 0 reading comprehension that I have seen on tik tok today claiming that Maven deserved Mare, that it was stupid and "unfair" that he didn't get her, and that clearly with his trauma and what his mother did to him he deserved her:

I would just like to issue a sincere Fuck You to you and any future illiterate children you produce.

[soullessjack]

this isnt rlly a serious post more so than a thought I need to verbalize but like. there’s an INSANE difference between the fandom being like “hey what if jack was actually his age and got to be a little normal” vs y’all treating a grown ass man like he has to cover his ears when someone swears or sleep with a nightlight on because he’s afraid of the dark, and throwing the P word around to anyone who thinks he’s attractive. one of these things is not like the other.

#there’s a layer here about giving jack the childhood he specifically chose not to have #and ignoring his other choices because that’s just. idk a running theme with any character who struggles to have autonomy #but whatever idk #genuinely i think the past year or so that I’ve spent talking about this has burnt me out #either that or I’m just too fixated on VB to really care too much #like obviously I still care about it and wish more was done to help but it’s not really a warpath for me to walk currently #just. #I’m just tired dawg #it’s like talking to a deaf brick wall #please just do some research into infantilization I cannot keep having a one sided conversation with people who don’t care #spn #jack kline #baby jack #spn fandom #fandom critical #fandom ableism #tfw2.0 #not even just ableism it’s the whole mischaracterization woobified bullshit all over again #and the using baby jack as a prop for everyone else but I digress #jack: *chose not to be a child and hates being seen as one and is more than willing to get violent if he thinks he has to* #y’all for some fucking reason: he’s just a widdle baby he can’t handle the scary movie he needs his daddies to take care of him #I’ve already said all these things before #i am tired. so tired

[tinystepsforward]

you know what i'm gonna just say it. some shit has gone down locally that i thought that we'd outgrown in the 2010s and i'm fucking pissed off. it's somehow worse this time bc we're facing significantly worse threats and they still decided this shit was worth doing for their own egos.

sick of other brown people who see me and others working hard to organise something and getting shockingly decent success with community unity and pull the race card the moment they can. sick of "poc can't protest it's not safe. but also fuck white people who organise any action whatsoever without us. and fuck white people who do their own risk assessment bc what if a bigot decides to blame poc for what you did." like that's literally victim blaming and also we are not a monolith. it's insulting from the people who haven't fought cops alongside me and heartbreaking from the people who have and have somehow decided they're now gonna be on this vibe.

but more than anything else i am sick of white guilt. sick of white people who are willing to let me do all the work of organising something and tremulously flutter around being moderately useful if a little bit fragile until the moment one of those wreckers happens to pull the race card and then they immediately do whatever is necessary to stop feeling discomfort, which usually involves surrendering all critical thinking and any respect whatsoever for me and my work. it's fucked up that they can't hear a brown person say that something is white without going immediately "i'm sorry :( i'm sorry i'm white :( i'm sorry this whole massive community effort, which was definitely not facilitated and organised by a real brown person who is watching me say this, was run entirely by white people with no poc or migrant voices involved :("

what a fucking insult! what an insult to me and to the māori and asian organisers who were putting in the work! we broke bread together! and the moment they get a chance to do Performative Allyship that goes out the window in favor of smearing local trans orgs with destructive rumours that they're racist that were clearly spread by someone who was trying to sabotage the local antifascist movement? fuck off. they better not dare talk to me about community ever again

#tony muses #this is going to make absolutely no sense to 99.9% of you but i am fucked off and it's late so #gonna go draw up my weekly plan #then vape and have a shower and go the fuck to bed w slay the spire ig #a couple days have passed and each one makes me angrier bc the last time this bullshit happened to me personally was 2016 #and i really truly thought we were over this

Canon Characters vs OC vs x Reader

Disclaimer: This is just my two cents, and my perspective on things, and I'm not trying to lay down the law for everyone. I needed to just put this to words though, in order to sleep.

I was thinking about this because of a post I saw, and some, we'll say, kind of useless comments associated with the post. Mean-spirited stuff.

Normally, in one ear and out the other, but the vibes just kicked me off down a rabbit hole of sorts an I wanted to try to put some of my thoughts to words.

First, some style vibes:

Canon x Canon Canon/Canon stories are, to me, like reading an episode of that show. I'm sitting down in front of a TV or whatever, and I'm experiencing the story As A Viewer. I like this style because I don't really have to expend much energy and I just kind of roll with whatever's happening. Generally some sort of 3rd person perspective.

OC x canon OC/Canon stories are like being on a carnival ride. I'm sitting in a car on a roller-coaster, and maybe the OC is sitting next me. I'm experiencing the story more deeply than strictly canon stories, but my connection with the OC is no deeper than say, my connection with Katniss Everdeen when I read The Hunger Games. Sometimes 3rd person, sometimes first person.

Reader x canon Reader/Canon (or Reader x/ OC) is like putting on a VR helmet. I don't get much physical input about the "Reader OC" because I'm experiencing the story through their eyes. I don't expect the reader to be me, but there's a bigger feeling of immersion to be had. Some description might happen cause it's relevant to the story, and it's still a type of ride, I can't jump the rails on the roller coaster, after all. (Even with a VN you still follow the tracks). Sometimes first person, sometimes second person (I'm partial to 2nd person perspective, but that's just me).

I love Fan Fiction, I love it. All of it, and man even more than anything, what I love is that I'm going to dislike 80% of it. Because that 80% was written for someone who is not me. (Hell, that number's probably closer to 99% if we're looking at ALL fandoms, but I digress).

Second - The VENT:

What got me the most in the post that prompted this, was someone saying "Bring back the Mary Sue OCs!" and then they went on to describe something more detailed, and I just -

Look, respectfully, fuck you.

The point is, you're not going to be happy no matter what. Whether it's "mary sue" OCs, or x readers, or alternative universes, or a ship you don't like, you're going to find something to be unhappy about.

Cause people have been bitching about all styles of fan fiction since the first "You've Got Mail" chimed in 1991. And until 1998 and ff.net you really had to hunt for it, and until 2007 and Ao3 the idea of tagging a fic for any reason wasn't really a thing. Every click was a surprise! \o/

I just have seen the same song and dance a dozen times. It's exhausting. People become okay with OCs and decide x readers are the enemy, and before that OCs were *all* Mary Sues and cringe and people who made OCs were the enemy, and before OCs people who wrote even a little OOC were the enemy, and people who wrote AUs were the enemy, and you can write fan fic but it HAS to be Canon Compliant, and everyone MUST be in-character at all times - "They would not fucking say that" was the enemy.

Look, just please - please - in any capacity, stop it with the "All X style of story telling is crap" mindset. There's over a dozen different ways to do x readers alone. I know 20 x reader writers and I don't think any of us have the same style, preferences, or vibes.

I've had a lot of comments along the lines of "I thought I hated x readers, but I really loved this." on a few different fics I've written. Sometimes it's not the style of the fic, sometimes it's the style of the writer, and my Brother In Christ - you're going to have to read some awful shit to shuffle through the thousands of writers out there to find the vibes that resonate with you.

Ostracizing entire swathes of fan fic because you need something to be "The Enemy" so you can lift up something else, and then bitching you can't find anything new to read seems like a personal problem.

And I know y'all are scrolling by TONS of posts that don't interest you, every day, as a matter of course. So don't give me that "clogging up the tag" BS, because we deserve to be here same as anyone else in the fandom.

#quin grumbles #I'm so aggravated I don't even really know how to tag this #like almost 30 years of it I'm just so done #I just wonder what amazing stories we're not getting #cause of some fucker using Mary Sue to belittle someone #or someone beating someone else over the head with plot armor because their protag survived something terrible? #How many “Oh.” moments have been missed because someone criticized the very concept of reader insert? #I'm way past my usual bedtime so I'm just rambling at this point #and I am being meaner than I'd like #but JFC #I'm not going to let people's bullshit opinions stop me or anyone else from writing if I can avoid it. #Write what you want #gush about it #talk about it #TELL ME ABOUT IT #IDGAF if it's cringe or overpowered or broken or flawless or an OC or a reader with a name or WHATEVER #If it brings you joy #then do it #and if people are too mean to scroll by it when it's not their thing #and then complain like they're entitled to do so #block 'em. #and tell me who they are so I can block them too #then write more #cause I promise it'll bring someone else joy too
