#i don’t mind listening to people

[sapphos-tooth]

boomers in public places when they start to approach me while i’m shopping

#.txt #😬 #i don’t mind listening to people #but it’s like i just wanna shop #and umm i don’t know what to say about your life trauma… #and i don’t know you in the first place #like i’m sorry you’re going through it #but uhh im not the right person to vent to especially in public #you’re cross too many boundaries #*crossing #plus i got my own issue i need to sort out #i shouldn’t be solving others #especially because i am not medical professional #my cousin says i have this aura that is very welcoming #like that's nice but it puts me in awkward situations

while i get where this comes from and it’s true to an extent, i reeeaaaally don’t like how people try to explain “trans men don’t [necessarily] have male privilege” with things like “some trans men don’t pass”.

like sure that’s the most obvious example (someone who is seen as a woman won’t have the privilege that comes with being seen a man) but you’re still acting like being a passing trans man is just a free opt-in to male privilege which is………kinda the issue.

#personal #ohh don’t be weird on my post please this is just on my mind #i’ve seen it so many times just in the last few days #like yeah a passing trans man receives more benefits than anyone who’s seen as a woman #and i’m sure most people making those arguments DO understand that it’s not that simple #but very few people engaging in these kinds of discussions in good faith would argue that someone seen as a woman has male privilege #(note: VERY FEW people engaging in GOOD FAITH) #i see people be like ‘everyone thinks all trans men pass’ and like…….WHO is thinking that who’s also gonna listen to you here #maybe it’s just my grew-up-in-a-conservative-religious-environment thing but your experience is not universal #i would also like you to consider whether ‘anyone that looks like a man has male privilege’ is consistent with your other views #1k #(oh god guys please)

genuinely i think if i have to see taylor swift’s name one more time i’m going to start breaking things.

#i liked her casually as a kid #and i still like a lot of her music now #but i can barely even fucking listen to it anymore bc she is EVERYWHERE #like literally i don’t care about her and i don’t care about travis whoever #and i don’t even care about her in a negative way like i don’t care if she’s selfish and narcissistic and a performative activist #and her jet emissions or whatever #bc literally 90% of celebrities are like that she’s not special #i am just so tired. of people ALWAYS talking about her #and being expected to have an opinion and be up to date with whatever meaningless drama is going on #genuinely no hate to my friends that like taylor bc i don’t mind that #it is more just like. Everywhere #i cant even go on tiktok without seeing her name 300 times i cant DO THISSS #ok. rant over. 😭

What's in my bag?

Theo: uses his college backpack to lug around his things. normally keeps his bag full of study materials, but there are glimpses of him in his journal, his addictions, and the wildflowers he takes home.

Matthias: doesn't use a bag. he’ll keep his phone with him but there’s little else he’d have on him.

tagged by @rollingsim and i seriously loved this picrew so thank you!!! gonna tag @wldestluv-rs, @stinkrascal, @omgkayplays, @rottengurlz, @void-imp, @raiiny-bay, @fizzytoo, @bunmou, @birdietrait, @stellarfalls, and @pralinesims!

#good afternoon <3!! just answering two tag things really quickly and then i'm gonna look for a mesh flipping tutorial #also i always wanna tag more people than i normally do in these oc things but don’t want to bother people… #if you’re someone who wouldn’t mind me tagging them lmk!!! i’d love to pass this stuff around to more people #river dipping #oc extras #theodore doe #matthias evanoff #echthroi #theo's bag is so nice and it's always filled to the brim... he has heavyyyy textbooks in there always!! but there weren't any in the picrew #but okay so we've got his memory journal and his school laptop. cigarettes and some unmarked pills. a dandelion he liked the color of <3 #his phone and some wired earbuds so it's obvious he's not listening if anyone tries to talk to him (he's not actually listening to anything #cash bc he's not allowed to have a credit card of his own... also the key to his apartment!! #as for matthias... there's really not much to say #but matthias keeps his phone and the key to whichever car he's driving in one of his pockets #his gloves he'll leave in the car or he'll just keep wearing them #handkerchief from one of his inner pockets if he's got a suit jacket on and mints if he needs them #there are rare times he uses a driver so sometimes there's no key with him and it's just his phone

if it’s gotten to the fucking point that the Ministry of Education has to announce that “the school year is cancelled” for part of Gaza because all its students have been murdered, humanity has failed, failed at everything— flat out, point blank, and unequivocally failed.

#I will not pretend that I’ve known the extent of the situation up until now #I feel I’ve been out of touch with true reality and have only now been catching up #and my heart and mind will never fully be able to comprehend why and how and WHY this is happening #but GOD these children #I once worked with Syrian youth who had come to Canada with their families #to hear their pain and listen to their cries— I still don’t sleep well at night. I hear them all the time. #now children are writing their names on their bodies so they can be IDENTIFIED. #humanity has failed; this is NOT humanity. #it’s just so insane and unbelievable and just simply UNFATHOMABLE that this is going on #LET ALONE FOR OVER 17 YEARS. #to hear my friends and coworkers cry over their lost friends and family members #to have to hold them for THIS REASON. #I have never been a praying person in my life but I am believing in any and every god for the people of Palestine. #I will not believe that choosing to pray does nothing. #because while those beautiful people keep praying I will keep praying. #and it’s not even corny to say that I’m praying for that bright break in the clouds #for the sun to shine upon them SOON AND QUICKLY. #for my friends and my coworkers and my neighbours who grieve and mourn but still pray for an end. #hugging and kissing and holding everyone very tightly from where I am. because I can do little else than I already am. #palestine #free palestine #free gaza #✦ nc vb. #cw murder

Told my sister at least the first 2hrs of my work day starts with me acting as a therapist for my boss and my sister said I got hired as an emotional support animal.

#ghost posts #I don’t mind at all but it SENT me #the accuracy was too real #she asked me to get officially licensed so she could start telling other people to hire me #like ma’am I wanted you to train me as a bookkeeper lol #I’m still getting paid and I don’t mind listening so it’s fine by me

[skyward-floored]

My mom: yeah don’t worry you can put stuff in the amazon cart there’s nothing there you can’t see (for Christmas)

*Lo and behold there was at least one thing in there that I probably should not have seen*

#and I have mixed feelings on receiving it KSDFBJFVJDGH #rambles from the floor #like listen. I like hw but I don’t know if I WANT it. #I DONT WANT MY SIBLINGS TO BE EXPOSED TO CIA??? #they’re too innocent #and I’ve watched the cutscenes there’s just parts I know would be uncomfortable #and now I’m gonna stress over this aaaaaaaaaaa #did they just see zelda and put it in there?? #didn’t look at the rating or anything???? #my brother probably put it on his list I hate when he does that #he asks for a game he knows he won’t play but knows I will so he can watch it which like I don’t mind but #it’s ALWAYS GAMES I GET NERVOUS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE WATCHINGGGG

[elendsessor]

one of the worst nocturne takes i’ve ever heard is that the game “has no direction” and that you don’t have any motivation when it’s like

did you play the opening

did. did you. did you fuckin. actually read the dialogue. because kagutsuchi tells you your goal. you’re supposed to discover the legacy of your existence aka what side you end up taking. you’re presented all these scenarios and are asked which direction do you want to take because you can’t conceive your own reason individually. if you could, that would ruin what the game is trying to do.

in general you can’t go into nocturne treating it like a traditional turn based jrpg. how it presents itself is so different that you really need to ditch how you view normal jrpg story structures. it keeps basic stuff because it’s writing 101 but fun fact not every game has a long slow burn prologue.

#i don’t mind people criticizing a game i enjoy and nocturne definitely is flawed but holy hell #well written prologues give you a basic rundown of the who what where when and why #so you need to fucking listen. if they don’t give you any of that yes it’s bad but nocturne does. #ff10 is a game i’ve been on and off playing and its prologue is trippy and fast paced but does give you the necessary info #you don’t need for tidus to have a 50 minute talk with auron about getting pseudo isekai’d #frustrating when someone doesn’t shut up about not understanding and acting like it’s the game’s fault #because theres a difference between being unfairly cryptic and not paying attention #shantien rambles #smt nocturne

I don’t think anything will come from this, but for your consideration, my latest brainrot:

A sort-of Grease!AU with Rose as Sandy and Blanche as Danny (or, even better, Rizzo).

That’s all. You can go.

#if you’re wondering: yes. this was brought about by Hozier’ ‘too sweet’ #which is. by all counts. not a love song #but the idea of rose being ‘too sweet’ for blanche hit me like a lightning bolt upon first listen #and I had to put it out there #realistically speaking I have nothing to add to this. i already have too many wips I’m working on #and it’s still a very unbalanced idea. for one idk where to place Dorothy #she doesn’t strike me as either the Danny or the Sandy type #maybe she’d be a better Rizzo? Italian. disillusioned #but her brand of self-denial doesn’t really fit with Rizzo’s self-destruction in my mind #to be fair all of them are pretty upright citizens. none of them properly fit the ‘bad girl’ type #blanche is just the one that feels the most similar to me #and she did do some wild stuff in her adolescence (at least according to her). might all be tales. but… #idk idk there’s potential there. obviously a lot of stuff would have to be changed but rn I don’t have anything to add to it #you know. maybe I just want to see Blanche in a leather jacket now that I think about it #god I hope people read the tags on my posts. 3/4 of the post is in here #the golden girls #golden wives

now is the time when i come out and say that i hate the term “fix it fic” so very much

#this is about ahb! actually yeah #like i get it fixing canon or whatever #cool. fine. whatever. #referring to other people’s alternate endings of art heist they wrote as ‘an ahb! fix it fic’ ? #not cool! not fine! not whatever! #THE ENDING WASNT BROKEN?? #it didn’t need to be fixed ?????? #HEY MAN LISTEN #ITS.NOT #ITS NOT BROKEN #and it hurts my feelings 😔👉👈 but that’s secondary #like wdym ‘this is the ending we deserved’ ??? #‘this is how the end should’ve been’ #like hey now! cut that. out. #and also …ouch?? #i stand by the original ending + i won’t write an alternate ending so i don’t mind when people do!! #BUT MY ENDING WASNT BROKEN THERES NOTHING TO FIX #s(he’s) br(ok)en 😔 #okay i’m done it’s just almost 4am and i’m upset #i just need 2 go 2 bed #nat speaks #art heist baby!

yeah not listening to goth music but still dressing goth makes you a poser i guess but who cares a goth that listens to ed sheeran is objectively hilarious. however not following punk ideals but still dressing “punk” makes you a fucking poser in the bad way

#i say ‘punk’ bc the people that don’t subscribe to punk ideals but still claim to be are always buying like $80 distressed ripped punk jeans #and pleather jackets with random zippers that do nothing in an attempt to be punk #like. goth and emo and shit are music based subcultures so like technically yeah not listening to the music makes you a poser #but honestly who fucking cares. you’ll get barked at in hallways and posted on some kid’s snap whether you listen to the music or not #however. punk is different. its still partially music based but punk was born in poor communities that were predominantly black #and so a big part of punk culture is cop hating and anticapitalism and nazi punching. and the distinction between performative tiktok kids #and punks that will actually punch a cop in the face is huge #also keep in mind forever and ever that the very foundations of punk are being nice and standing by your punk siblings no matter what #and the corporations that make punk clothing made by employees with no union and sold for $80 will never be punk #rambles #punk #goth

I am a “even though he considers her annoying Yu Yiseol is Cheong Myeong’s favorite disciple” truther

#pika’s ramblings #return of the mount hua sect #return of the blossoming blade #romh #listen. listen. listen to me. #she was the first one to recognize his swordsmanship as mount hua’s now-extinct pinnacle after he reincarnated #she understood his strength immediately (which was why he thought she was annoying at the start) and respected it #and knew immediately that it was the sword she should be striving for as a disciple of mount hua regardless of him being of a younger line #and on the reverse side! #cheong myeong is severely disappointed by the skill level of the current mt hua but he acknowledged her skill as a disciple with potential #in the huazhong arc his narration outright says that she was the only second grade disciple who would have a shot #at winning if she’d participated #plus it’s implied that none of the other third grades had the guts to induct her into their training which means cheong myeong was stuck #with the job the whole time until the second grades could train on their own #which is so so funny after he spent all that time avoiding her demands that he train her #anyway. some people might say that yu yiseol is being built as the love interest (I am barely a tenth into the novel so I don’t actually #know what happens past like 200. don’t spoil it for me #but I say they’re wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! #first of all I think cheong myeong died an 80yo virgin so write that down. #whether it was due to personal preference (aspec) or his single-minded devotion to martial arts doesn’t matter #what MATTERS is that I think yu yiseol is cut from the same cloth #the number one thing in both of their hearts is mount hua’s sword #my hc is that while baek cheon has the most raw power of the second grade disciples yu yiseol has the most skilled swordsmanship #that part’s not relevant I just wanted to mention it. #ANYWAY their first and only loves are the sword and even though their personalities are so wildly different they’re both still oddballs who #devote themselves mind body and soul to their swords. #and no matter what he thinks of her personality cheong myeong’s got to at least grudgingly approve of her dedication to the sword and #desire to improve it

Timeless is on my list of Taylor swift songs that explicitly mention men but gives me queer vibes

It’s still interesting to me that I see people mostly blame Scott for making Pearl have a bad reputation (this is about DL btw), and then others will point out that Pearl was usually being weird or a menace to others and that’s why she had a bad reputation not just cuz Scott was saying she’s his crazy ex soulmate, but NOBODY brings up that Ren (and BigB) literally went around saying “PEARL IS A DEMON!!!! IF YOU GO ANYWHERE NEAR HER YOU WILL DIE!!!!” Like… if ANY outside force is making Pearl unfairly look bad I’d look to the guy acting like it’s a witch trial rather than the soulmate who simply recounts the things Pearl has ACTUALLY done lol.

#I had this thought before I watched thru Scott’s DL. after watching it I will say Pearl should’ve said things SCOTT did lmao #trafficblr #double life smp #dlsmp #but yeah like Scott wasn’t ever rlly exaggerating when telling others what Pearl was up to #and sometimes ppl would listen to him and go ‘surely she’s not that bad’ and then interact with pearl and change their minds. lol. #but like Pearl just on her own was being a menace to ppl so Scott kind of just validated their feelings about her mostly #I don’t actually know if Ren’s whole ‘pearl is a demoness’ thing actually swayed anyone #but like. ‘my soulmate tortures me with snow and tries to forcefully live with me!!’ yeah I guess that gives a bad impression. entirely true #tho. ‘Pearl is a demon witch who curses people with her mere existence’ uh. yeah that’s a very bad impression and entirely untrue. #which one of them is REALLY spreading exaggerated bad info on Pearl

So apparently we’re getting a new Legendary in Ovenbreak, presumably for this update, and given the theme, they’re probably another sea based one, thus bringing our total sea based Legendaries to 3

I mean, I don’t mind getting a new Legendary, and I’ll probably like this new one when they come out, but do we really need 3 sea Legendaries? Is there not anything else we could do for more Legendaries?

#and then there’s Lotus who’s water themed too #and I guess you could say Frost Queen since she’s technically frozen water (though it’s still a stretch) #I’m trying to think of other themes they could do #they could have a desert themed Legendary #though then they’d probably be associated with Yogurca and I don’t think people will be too fond of that #or maybe cloud/sky themed? #I know we have Wind Archer but he’s more associated with Millennial Tree and he’s the wind not the sky #I also wouldn’t mind another dark Legendary but maybe they aren’t aligned with Dark Enchantress? #or one associated with rot and plague and decay? #listen I would just rather have a more unique new Legendary than just water okay? #cookie run #cookie run ovenbreak #cookie run kingdom #season 8 update #new cookie #sea fairy cookie #black pearl cookie #random stuff #legendary cookies

Is it just me, or when you start going quiet, does one of your “friends” call you every few days, wanting to talk for hours?
