#i'm not saying touch grass here

[rimbaudofficial]

if you have only One Thing in your life right now (fandom, perhaps, or mental illness recovery, or a person), i have been there and I am here to tell you: find another thing.

i know it's hard! many things cost money! but you gotta. it will improve your life immeasurably.

you can start very small. perhaps begin to draw even though you think you are bad at it. perhaps make playlists or pinterest boards or powerpoint slides based on your mood. get really into tiny things, or dogs, or yarn.

this will spiral out in wonderful ways! you can build self-efficacy, make new friends, and take a break once in a while from your One Thing. that Thing will benefit from you taking breaks, and so will you.

if you have the time, money, and space, i cannot say enough good things about getting a pet if you're in this situation. got my dog post-divorce and he really helped me out when all i had was misery and regret and my family (no shade to my family but it wasn't working as a One Thing for any of us).

#self-efficacy #fandom #mental illness recovery #mental illness #loneliness #hobbies #i'm not saying touch grass here #i'm saying make some meaning #develop a routine even #i promise this helps

Tumblr is way chiller than Twitter for sure but sometimes I see a post and I'm like. Y'all DO remember this is a block game, right? You're not gonna get legitimately pissy and passive-aggressive over characters doing things in a block game, RIGHT???

#i talk #qsmp talk #Chatter: Jaiden don't do this— twitter will cancel you! #The rest of us in chat: Why should she care about anything Twitter says #People on frickin twitter AND tumblr: *whining about Jaiden* #LIKE BRO YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS LMFAOOOOOO #fandom wank #I'm gonna start unfollowing people #not even just for bad opinions I'm just tired of seeing people being mean and bitter #I'm just here to have fun I don't want to constantly see whining #Critique characters and stuff all you want that's part of the fandom experience but some of y'all are so damn mean for no reason lmao #Touch grass and seek therapy #I know me posting this is part of the ''too many people complaining'' problem but Jaiden's my gal I am a little bit annoyed by that #Again: character critique is fine #but sometimes it's just so passive-aggressive and like. written like the character did a personal attack on YOU #<- the last tag is the most important point here I think

what the fuck is wrong with this person

#sunflower rambles #seriously what is with meme-lorbius #first they accuse ci flower's art as ''ai'' #then they come into my aro post and say i'm being homophobic for saying ''love loses''?????? #you can't even say silly shit on here anymore #go back to twitter #if anyone else says ''love loses'' they don't get shit but i do #please stay away from my posts and go touch grass

Today, instead of liveblogging 9-1-1 I went outside and touched grass. Please appreciate my photos of one of the prettiest natural places I've seen in southern Michigan

#this is in a suburb of Lansing called Grand Ledge and wow theyre so for real those ledges ARE grand #also I'm not here to fight about if the UP is prettier or even the northern LP is. But this is Mid-Michigan y'all! #I'm also going to metaphorically touch grass tomorrow! #But like I'm gonna be getting tea with my SIL and ≤3 children so probably not actual grass unless it's warm enough for the park #roz says a thing #Most days I sit by a window and watch birds with my cat. God I miss having obligations outside the house.

ppl when they find out teenagers act like teenagers 😱

#I don't rly want to get into it but I've seen two separate callouts today and #1st was ''this person made a 'not like other girls' meme where the 2 chrcters kissed?? Thts so rude to the person tht made the characters😤 #And the othr was ''this 17 yr old is expressing emotions an acting like a teenager?? She even has fictional crushes even tho she's a minor? #Meanwhile the person mad that the teenager has crushes literally posts about being into shotacon and lolicon?? Like. #You can't be consuming sexualized content of minor characters while calling a real minor a horrible person for having a sexuality. #I am. going insane #This isn't like. An official statement about what side I'm on or anything because I don't know any of these ppl involved and idc #But i will say beefing with a child always looks a lil pathetic to me. 'she was mildly rude to me and called an actor hot once' okay???? #chill out <3 touch grass <3 #I know I made a post about this b4.. smthng smthing adults have to be the responsible party by choosing not to engage in drama w kids #If you really care so much about them being a minor online and whats appropriate for them why are you publicly fighting them #Like. That's not rly appropriate behavior on your part either #Don't take this rant as a sign to drag me in btw I am not affiliated with any party here and I don't care to be #I just cannot believe this fandom continues to produce the dumbest callouts every couple months #//shade

I think "the use of the word delusion as slang gaining popularity is harming people with actual delusions" is one of the most ridiculous takes I've heard in a while tbh. Like at a certain point, you have to accept that words have meanings that are both medical and nonmedical and that if you can understand what the person actually meant you're just kinda being pedantic.

#this does NOT apply to things like saying 'I'm so bipolar I'm so ocd' etc obviously #or if there's people out here claiming to have actual delusions when they don't #but 'using a metaphor to describe how disconnected someone's worldview is from reality' is pretty low on the hierarchy of Bad Shit #obligatory 'touch grass' etc

part of a community calling out people for shipping 30+ years old unrelated characters, while some of the haters openly sexualize 12 year olds and pretend the toxic character isn't toxic in their relationship 🤡

#fandom #fandom problem #fandom issue #🤡 #i love receiving threats from toxic people surely I'm the problem here #not to mention they sexualize brother-like relationships and yet toss insults at us saying that we sexualize everything #touch grass seriously

[semi-sketchy]

God damn can people learn to use their words already

#Everyone wants to talk about this episode without the discourse #without the negativity #neutral and objective #Let's be real no one's here as neutral as they think #Everything revolves about what you liked and what you didn't #It's a story #It supposed to make you feel things #No point pretending it's math #Even Djenkins isn't all knowing #He could plan one thing #Show the other #And thought he showed yet another #And then say something other other in the interview #And two people could understand him and story in two different ways #I've got too philosophic lol #What I mean is that people who are oh so sure of their interpretation and their own objectiveness should doubt their worldview more #For enrichment #Yeah I'm criticizing the discourse like fuckin everyone how original #Yeah I think those 12455235 posts explaining to each other how ofmd want them dead vs those saying other side is chronically online #and should go to touch grass or something are pointless #Those two sides are both too deep #Oh if you're so normal about it then why writing a very long post about how Your interpretation is correct and other people are just crazy #and lack reading comprehension #Looks like someone got actually emotionally invested instead of blocking annoying people #God I'm asking for a fight now aren't I? #And show my own hypocrisy #Another proof how easy it is to feel personally addressed by some random post #Great subject to study #Being a fan is so hard 😔 #Vent post

love how i said i was going to have to hate gaylorism for a year but now i'm out here rbing lyrics abt hands like 3 months in

#nature is healing #any like anti rhetoric i'm saying is like 99% of the time meant for my past self btw #trying very hard to shift into a mindset of understanding that people can just do what they want and there isn't like a Right way #to experience fandom #also just trying to let go of trying to find The Truth. because it doesn't matter. #i think for some people the radical thing to do is accept that taylor swift could be gay. for me the radical thing to do was accept #that she could not be. #either way we all probably need to just go outside and touch grass and delete social media #idk what i'm trying to say here but hope u enjoyed this dramatic analysis of my gaylorism. more at 5. #vi is typing...

hi

#soooo I have a bunch of posts in my tag right now that i'm gonna queue #and i know there's stuff in my mentions and inbox as well (but i'll deal with that over the weekend maybe) #i really don't wanna be here atm. and wow who would have guessed that removing the thing that makes me angry & anxious & sad from my life #would make me...you know. less angry and anxious and sad. #basically i'm taking a break. or extending the one I've already been taking these past couple of weeks i guess #(except for my trekkie moonlighting lol. but that's actually a chill and happy space so it doesn't count) #i don't really wanna get into it but life is not so great and everything here has been making me even worse lmao #so until i find a way to fix that I need to stay away #touch grass as the kids say. #it is what it is 🫡

#feeling very......trapped in social media #the same way i always felt when i had tiktok before i deleted it #so i've decided to delete twitter and turn off weverse notifications and i'm already feeling better #im not leaving here or anything but just taking a step back from the more kinda rapid fire 24/7 updates world #i like that things are smaller and slower here #feels more like a community than an endless void #i also recognize that this a big touch grass moment to say that kpop is draining me like this #noa.x

[theotherace]

terfs really think about the weirdest fucking shit.

#'i just know someday i'm gonna have to fight with the parents of a trans kid when my kid has a sleepover and say 'sorry no penis-havers #allowed'' #paraphrased but just ... basically shit i had to read with my own two eyes #i just know you need to go outside and touch some grass because that is just deranged #you're talking about a child here #i mean it would be weird even if it weren't about a child but like ... it is #like i for one am a normal person and have never thought about a child's genitals even once in my life #not even a hypothetical child's #maybe we're not the weird ones here #anyway get of my blog if you don't support trans people i do not want you here #rambles #... do i trigger tag terfs? #tell me if you want me to tell me nothing if you don't

[iggy-hands]

Everyone got so weird about these characters so quickly

#is this what fandom is like? i havent actively been in a fandom for so long lol #I think my mental health is just generally not good rn. and im finding it tricky to not project #like. fully it is not that deep and i need to touch grass #woes of emily #i lied so hard about not being here lmao. I'm Trying #people are saying insane things. but if you look like. even a month ago. they were not saying these things

#getting caught up on the twitter stuff and hsjdndjdj i live for people being petty. please continue it is very funny #i have a lot of opinions but let me say this. i used to like his chat better than ***'s chat. but i think it's just a smidge better #and that's saying a lot if you know me #anyways..... come over to tumblr! we'd love a bigger community here <3 #(and don't send me asks about this because i won't reply. i'm just watching this from the sidelines) #....edit nvm. don't come over here. i actually don't want you guys here #and yes we are superior. because we don't give a fuck. and streamer/mods are not over here <3 #jerma voice: every single person is my enemy #okay even more edits here we go #it's so funny to me how appalled people seem to be at the existence of cr/wfu fic #and everytime they stumble upon them it's like. they legit clutch their pearls #i have been in tumblr since i was 13 years old. nothing is sacred for me anymore i guess #it's a bit of a generational divide i think. (god is this an inside joke LOL) #I MEAN i would say that but these people are 19-22??? #and then talk about 'boundaries' like no. stev said he didn't want to SEE people use his face as pfp bc its awk #but hes not in tumblr. so why would i not do it... like i'm saying haha fuck steve i have no respect for him this is why i run this blog #like no????? tw/tter culture is just so deranged in all the worst ways #i hate how common the phrase 'touch grass' is because it is very annoying and people just use it whenever but. but #sometimes people forget how human behavior works like and it is most apparent on twitter #we all have to work on that. God Bles. #this has been my manifesto alright
