#i like the FL's acting

[xiuminscheeks]

tried watching moon in the day and lord, I have so many thoughts

#im fast forward watching it just cause i wanna see how much worse this train wreck can get #his acting is god awful #and istg im not someone who judges this harshly anyones acting #so imagine how much i was bothered #also the editing is bad #its as if they are just throwing scenes together without a plan #and idk why but it reminds me so much of a cdrama #and i really dislike those #just bad overall #i like the FL's acting #but thats just it #now #why did i write this while i have a shit tone of stuff to finish at work? idk #dont ask #inext

i think there is a lot of fear mongering for trans folk in florida to make you feel unsafe. You can get T in florida. Mine is literally 15$. My appt was only 150$. My apt is covered by basic insurance that i get for free for being low income. i will not be leaving because i will not leave my brothers and sisters in arms. i will fight until my dying breath to make this beautiful state exactly what it needs to be. leaving is exactly what they want. im here. im queer. and im not a pussy.

#sorry i get so angry about this sometimes. #i do not respect ppl who act like the south is scary as if its not a high percentage of poor #queer and poc voices that they are speaking over #transgender #transmasc #florida #lgbt #queer #im here im queer #trans #fl

i think the thing about the “horror is about love” thing and variations thereof is that saying “[any genre] is about [any one specific theme]” is obviously super reductive and is far from universally true, and the reason i think horror is framed this way is because people want an excuse to enjoy horror without admitting they enjoy something “low brow” or gory and violent. or they watch watered down shit and think it’s morally better than shit that’s “low brow” or gory and violent

#i can’t help but think m*ke fl*nagan is partially to blame for this #and there are a lot of popular horror movies out right now that seem like they were made by people who don’t like horror as a genre #like the filmmakers were like oh that’s easy horror is stupid i can make a horror movie that isn’t just low brow or gory and violent #and then they make the most boring movie i’ve ever seen in my life. #they’re writing dramas or action movies and acting like a little bit of blood makes it horror. fundamental lack of genre awareness imo #nothing wrong with that kind of movie but it’s not horror

Major shoutout to the 2 black men that were in front of my grocery store job today(for like 4 hours in 95% muggy humidity 85-90 degree heat) for being apart of/asking tons of people entering the store to sign a petition to [denounce, reverse or greatly extend/go to full term?] abortion laws to make sure women get an abortion whenever or whatever reason they need to considering we live in FL

#like I figured from one of the guy shirts he had on it had to do with supporting women's rights& a women's right to an abortion #the back said women's body women's choice #I forgot what the front said #I told them I'm going to act like they aren't there since I had a weird feeling if I asked my managers they'd get told to leave #But yeah #I actually saw a decent amount of people signing it #While it is FL my area is lowkey turning more purple& in terms blue(political wise) by the day #there's a fair bit of people here that can't stand DeathSatan 😭 #florida #women's rights #abortion #abortion laws #disney #strange world #the only reason I brought up that they were black is because unfortunately the stereotype that all black people don't support abortion

There are few things worse, I think, than reading a call to action memoir that is so close to right but really should have been shelved for at least 5yrs before going to print so the author has time to learn enough to see all the false equivalencies that really hinder the point

#personal; #yeah fatphobia is bad but dont you dare act like people aren't asking disabled people to medically alter themselves every day??? #you compare bariatric and gender affirming surgeries in such a way that makes the latter sound easy to get?? #and in fact don't at ALL go into the struggles for transition care except for a nod at FL while comparing us (trans people) #to fat people like our lives are Much Easier instead of /oppressed by the same white colonial structures that enforce fatphobia/ #but go off i guess #i was giving a lot of leeway when i was just side eyeing the comparisons with racism bc i'm not fat and i've not experienced enough racism #to say either way on those #but the MOMENT she started using trans and disabled comparisons i about lost it #and also randomly started calling it antisemitic (sure as much as it's violnt to all poc) in the last chapter with nothing supporting it #like you can tell it was written over the course of the last like 2 maybe 3 years without enough space to breathe #i have listened to a book on writing memoir so often i've got some of it all but memorized #and i agree that if it's more recent than a decade you're probably too close to be writing it #and this author's writing mostly about during pandemic times. this is more a journal and call to action than memoir #but its not polished enough to be a proper call to action bc there's not much it gives you to do other than 'stop dieting & dare to be fat' #which isn't an effective call to action when only those most harmed by fatphobia can act on it you know??? #lots of complaints #3/10 #edit: reiterting that i'm not saying it' #*it's not anti-semitic; just that a good published work of this kind doesn't make last second claims and certainly not ones #they haven't already explicitly supported in the text #i feel the need to clarify with the very very vocal rise of anti semitism esp in the left #like yes there are anti-Semitic ties. she didn't name them. just said 'they exist lol' and this went to print #great study in poor research slipping onto shelves bc topic matter is relevant

My thoughts on Volo’s Togepi loving him and him having multiple Pokémon who are friendship evolutions while also having “love for Pokémon” as a disliked topic in Pokemas is that Volo is someone who manipulates others for his own purposes. He’ll play the long game and take on whatever facade he needs to in order to get what he wants out of others, whether they’re people or Pokémon. The thing is, he’s done it for so long he no longer recognizes when those actions and feelings of his have sincerity to them. So I think he does love his Pokémon as much as they love him. But Volo may not recognize that the care he shows his Pokémon is real after so much time spent deceiving others. And maybe, after so much time putting on facade after facade, he doesn’t want to take the time to think about and realize those genuine feelings he has.

ANON IM SICK AGAIN

#U GET IT!!! U GET IT!!!! #i saw another take like this too #this reminds me of 1 josei smut manga #where ml is a manipulator who was abused #to a point where his kindness n affection are a facade n he sees everythng as an act #not realizing that fls love for him is pure #and his love is also just as pure #but the whole plot revolves around him manipulating fl #which leads to her almost being broken n him broken too #ofc love finds a way #but ya this is volo #he genuninely loves his pokemon. he just doesnt realize it #and he doesnt want to dwell on it #ask #anon #about pokemon

writing is hard, folks

#sophie’s idle chatter #okay ive talked abt this before but i have an oc various x reader series right? #but recently ive been having thoughts about aNOTHER oc various x reader fic #but its like #REVERSE isekai #so one of the ocs is the transmigrator instead of the reader and we watch little snippets of how the oc reacts #and reader and the other ocs are all part of this novel that isekai oc has read #and his fav character is reader - a side character/the best friend of the fl #or snth like that #and ofc the typical ‘everyone loves the fl’ trope happens bc its a cliche as fuck novel hes now part of #and obv theres gonna be like. inferiority complex. bc reader always got compared to fl throughout her life and stuff #and ppl mainly talk to her to ask abt fl #(oh. fl is female lead btw) #but reader bottles her feelings up n stuff bc what else can she do other than act like shes happy to avoid confrontation #and isekai oc is basically the only one who knows her inner struggles #EXCEPT FOR ANOTHER OC WHO IS READERS LONGTIME-ISH FRIEND #and hea more on the reserved side and keeps to himself but cares a lot for reader #who thinks he cares more for fl instead #and then woo modern school kinda setting bc wow modern fics #and now i cant write my other oc various bc i have this fucking dumb idea stuck in my head #i even have the characters planned with pinterest boards. as usual. #sobs #ofc its gonna be posted on quotev as always but hdjfjdnfjfkf

and these that didnt fit in with those others

#i REALLY like the lens flare on the fountaiun one... #fl #Can you guys understand why i actually like it here. give me as much crap as u want for living in alabama but it is beautiful here #i dont just mean oh we have pretty plants and trees #we DO but also the architecture and composition of the streets and town etc. i love it here SPECIFICALLY #It is so rude and disrespectful 2 me when people act like i live in a dumpy small town in the deep south #It is not dumpy or sleepy or boring or lame and honestly isnt even that 'small' #its just a college town but its beautiful and i love it..even beyond the aesthetics #the music and art scene here is great and its a really diverse place in every capacity #So im just telling you that if you act like that or imply it or say it outright im going to be mad at you. i might not say so but i will be

2ha book 1 (7S) - Ending

I have just finished the first book of the Seven Seas translation of 2ha and I swear to fucking god, if Mo Ran keeps up with his bullshit crush on Shi Mei, I will chew someone's face off.

IT IS NOT SHI MEI !!! SHI MEI IS OVER THERE STUCK IN DREAMS IN SOMEONE ELSE'S BODY !!!! God fucking DAMMIT Mo Ran !!! I know you are suffering heavy blood loss right now but I am not above absolutely obliterating you. It is VERY obvious that Shi Mei would never do anything like what Chu Wanning in his body is doing.

#2ha #mo ran #shi mei #ranwan #who the fuck even IS shi mei ?? #like where did he come from ?? #why is he so fucking shady for no reason ? #i sooooo don't trust the nice guy act something is fishy about him #'oh no shizun don't beat up those people' and then just fucking diving straight for the hit #aren't you supposed to be a cultivator ?? I know you're weak as fuck but you should be able to protect your face !! #oh wait i know why i dislike him #it's that trope of the too pure and innocent fl that's saving the world through love and innocence and moe #god i hate that #because they're soooooo morally superior to everyone else #but also so fucking weak and helpless that they need everyone else to do everything for them #seriously what does mo ran see in him ? #outside of how pretty he is #is he REALLY that good of a cook ? #are we sure shi mei didn't put anything in those wontons mo ran absolutely adore ?? #like really sure ? #someone should do a drug test on that food or something #whatever #onto the next book and I swear that if mo ran doesn't realize that hey actually he doesn't hate his teacher i will riot #yes yes you did awful things to him in your past lives and ackowledging that you don't hate him would probably make you sick and hate #yourself #but also you kinda deserve it because i am preeeeetty sure that those intercourses in the last life were NOT safe sane OR consensual #no matter how in love chu wanning probably was #i doubt he was enthusiastic about anything you did to him is all i'm saying #and you should definitely feel ashamed and sick of yourself no matter how much i personally like it #well that was a rant

[sparingiscaring]

Oh, my favorite activity- pretending to be a lackey to Mr Fires!

#it never found out my deception in LF and I don't think it did the Johnny Croak affair either #so i just look like a REALLY incompetent minion #which is. yeah. i love that #leigh LOOKS like a little bard minion who keeps getting nat 1's but ACTUALLY he's constantly rolling 31's and is just good at acting #at being a minion #can't wait to betray it again!!!! #fl

You know it's still wild to me that nemesis ended with a very weird conversation that assumed I had more lore knowledge then I did ajdjdkfkfglkgkh

I’m watching an informative thing on the No Child Left Behind Act and whatnot, and I’m now suddenly aware of what exactly those teachers meant when they said that I skewed their test results just enough to save the school from shutting down.

Like, when i was in 3rd grade, i moved from a city with proper school funding to a small farm town in the middle of nowhere with Very Little funding. Like a school with 35 or so kids per grade, and maybe 120 total. Small enough that one kid Could Indeed alter the averages. I passed their standardized tests with flying colors bc most of that 3rd grade stuff was stuff i learned in previous years just now with the addition of multiplication and such. And well, due to the laws related to the No Child Left Behind Act, if the school wasn’t preforming well enough, its funding gets cut and slowly but surely gets to the point where it may have to shut down. (Yes, this is half the reason why schools in the US are awful.) As it turns out, that school was on its last legs and it was getting ready to shut down and transfer all of its kids to the city twenty miles away. Me and two other kids aced the test which skewed the average enough to leave them safe for the next two years. (I got them competitive bc I threatened their top student role tbh, the weird part is I was at most a B-average student when put into a proper school.) 

Anywho. That’s how I kept a town with a population of 800 keep its only elementary school because of an act from the government that was only put in place because America was too low in education averages in comparison to the rest of the world. (It got worse, btw. Shocking I know. /s)

#taks speaks #i also learned how the military recruiters got my personal info in high school #this act apparently had a thing in it that required schools to literally give that out #which turns into a metaphorical dodging of bullets in high school #now if thats not fucked up idk what is #but now i know the reality of some things that happened over 15 years ago #but good news about that school i managed to somehow save. the fave math teacher everyone had is now the principal #so good for him. he was a great teacher #its also still open to this day and im proud of that little village #they got everything together despite the gov literally trying to kill them and they did GREAT #it was also the first school that decided that there was something off about me and brought in a therapist #good on them. that's how my mom learned i have adhd. and then proceeded to hide it from me til i was 17 #it was a good school. it didn't deserve all that stuff #its odd seeing the different types of education between cities vs villages vs towns #and the difference between states #what i was doing in that city in 2nd grade was equal to like middle school in the town #im talking literary analysis that literally made me cry after reading a question #only the town and village were normal when it came to elementary school stuff #and THEN when i moved to FL history wasn't even part of the curriculum til middle school #i can't remember the city history stuff but according to my sister its there and well #but in the village. i got the best history classes. the village used to be a booming city after the civil war and well: history. #in FL you could assume that bc it was a history based town they assumed the kids would learn about it just from being there #but thats very much wrong. the history stuff out there was a tourist trap #the history stuff in the village was civil war cemeteries fifty feet from the school #like just a normal part of every day. early america was literally that area #these comparisons still baffle me tbh #like why doesnt FL teach kids history? and why was it so strong in VA? and why was NC so focused on critical thinking? #tho critical thinking is the most useful. even if it was given at a young enough age that it was incapable of being learned #and then critical thinking in FL only being introduced to honors students in middle school? and ONLY HONORS.

god instagram is a nightmare rn

#logging off forever!!!! #like ik i just said to vote and you should and in some states like fl where i vote that does matter on an individual level #but all this shit about mobilizing as if it does anything when they’re ‘insulated from public opinion’ is so exhausting #like wtf is a protest gonna do #yes in fl there’s a chance to put in a dem governor who won’t restrict abortion and you SHOULD vote to keep it safe #but on a national level. nothing fucking works. i’m so tired of this bullshit #i just think maybe the time to act was anytime in the last 50 years when dems controlled everything #and who should the actors have been? oh idk maybe the dem politicians holding office <3 #a.txt #us politics

Been reading a bunch of manhwas and webtoons recently and something I've noticed is that, in the ones where the MC transmigrates into a book and then basically usurps the original FL, they never really explain why the FL immediately turns into a one dimensional bitch frothing at the mouth for vengeance.

Like, what kind of story was this originally? When people write standard romantic fiction, the FLs often fall into two categories: demure and sweet, or headstrong and self assured. However, they are almost always kind and just because the audience needs to root for them. They are not the kind of people who would feel entitled to the affections of a man, nor would they start scheming to kill a former friend for no good reason.

Ever since I noticed that it's been itching at my brain.

#i think the one novel that i saw that explained this made it that the FL was also a transmigrator #who had expected to live out the dream only to go ballistic when that didn't happen #otherwise stories just act like bitches be crazy #butterflies ranting
