I think I will never get married. My ideal life is living alone and doing my own thing. I want to decorate my home the way I like. I want to set the thermostat to the degree I'm most comfortable. I want to have a cat and a dog and fish and a bird and I dont want anyone to tell me I can't have more pets. The idea of having a living in partner sounds horrible and I've already tried it and it didn't work out. I don't want to try again. I consider myself aromantic but that doesn't mean I'm loveless. I can share my life with friends and family while still remaining "alone". Being alone isn't scary. Being alone is wonderful to me. I love to be in my own company. I really feel I never want to be in a long term romantic relationship again. Maybe my opinion will change and that's okay but for now I love being alone.

Somethings that Andrew does is like genuinely bad but other things are stuff that people do in real life. For example, I would also get angry if my cousin was making r*pe jokes or if someone slapped my sibling. I would get angry if people didn’t mind their own business or touch me without asking. In fact, I would probably be mad all the time if I were on drugs that forced me to be happy all the time and had to play a sport where I had to focus. Where I have to go through heavy withdrawal in order to play and deal with people believing I’m a monster. (This isn’t anti-Aaron because the trauma he went through is valid and it’s valid of him to dislike Andrew because he doesn’t understand him but tried so hard to, they both were unfair to eachother). I just think it’s weird when the foxes think he’s a psychopath (not to mention the fact that even if he was what’s wrong with that) and immediately wrote him off just because he wasn’t exactly nice to them. Again, there’s obviously some things that Andrew does that are way out of line and those aren’t excusable and are up to the people he hurt to forgive him for. Overall, the thing I like about aftg is that it shows the ugly and good about people, especially people who go through trauma. There’s thing we aren’t proud of and we’re not always good people (all the foxes have traits that aren’t exactly good) but that’s the reality of it and we grow and learn and heal.

I genuinely do not understand why I can't get into high fantasy material. Even as a little kid, who liked dragons and fairies and shit, didn't really...get into true fantasy. All out, completely removed from our world, fantasy. I always got bored, and would end up tuning out. I've watched/read a few, like Tinkerbell or Eragon, from wildly different stages of development.

It always has to be grounded in our reality, somehow. Whether it was coming home at the end of the episode or book. Like how H*rry P*tter had a foot in our world, too. Urban Fantasy? My shit. My beloved. I'll read/watch it all day. I'm captivated. (as long as it's good, Marvel.)

I suppose, mulling it over a bit, it could be connected to my desperate hope that this world has more magic in it than everyone says. Bridge to Teribithia changed me as a child, and honestly not because of the death scene, but the absolute remarkable power these kids' imaginations had. I wanted that to be me, I wanted desperately to believe that if I believed hard enough I could do the same thing. I still hope for that, in a lot of ways. I want to believe that it's not all so simple, that things that we believe are impossible exist. Magic, in all forms and many forms and any form. And if it's not out there...I guess I still have these books.

thinking about how negative my drafts are bc they're the thoughts that I've collected over these past two years that I thought were too mean to share in public...and it's making me realize that y'know what? I feel like glee tumblr used to be a lot more...friendly?

in the sense that most users (apart from the extreme anti accounts) were pretty mild about their opinions and didn't really post much about the things they hated, which led to people with polar opposite opinions becoming really good friends...

but now (and this is a really recent shift, maybe just in the last month or two) the amount of negativity has definitely taken a drastic upturn (yes ik glee tumblr has been slowly declining for a while but may-june showed a huge spike in unhappy content), and I feel like the gloves are off and no one is holding back their negative opinions anymore...I've had to block so many people and yet I'm still seeing takes on my dash that are negative towards my faves - often untagged, too. a few of my more positive friends have also either deactivated or just stopped coming on tumblr (which is honestly good for them tbh), making the negative voices even more prominent 😔

so as someone who tried to limit my negativity (yes, believe it or not, I was fairly conscious of what I posted and genuinely kept most of my negative posts in the drafts until recently - except for the ones about sebastian and the weird bl/am asks lmao) now I find it harder and harder to want to stay silent regarding characters/ships I dislike or takes that made me mad, and at this point I feel like there's not much of a reason to not express my opinions anymore since most of the other people in this fandom are clearly fine w saying whatever they want now lol

anyway I don't know where I'm going with this tbh I'm just tired of holding back most of my opinions for the sake of other people when really it's my blog and I should be able to post whatever I feel like posting regardless of how anyone else feels about it

although ngl part of me still gets anxious whenever I get an ask after posting something controversial bc I worry so much about more anon harassment...the duality of blogging lol

i relate to geralt. i dont relate to him sleeping with a 17 year old and that is something i will NEVER not remind him when given the chance if i ever meet him. but at least it was a one time thing and i could only hope shani really actually wanted that and she wasn't just groomed. geralt would never. yeah ik she was old enough to be independent BUT SHE WAS STILL 17. LIKE IK THE AGE OF CONSENT IN POLAND IS 15 BUT THE AGE DIFFERENCE IS TOO DRAMATIC. SHE WAS STILL IN SCHOOL DAMN IT. other than that and his neutrality i love geralt as a protagonist bc like.. i relate to him, but i don't. it's like 50/50. like he's his own person and doesn't need to be likable to the audience like 100% of the time. anyways sorry for mentioning the fact he slept w a 17 year just for me to say this but i just had to. i do love you geralt

This is eating me up inside, I genuinely want to know why is Steve so okay with putting himself down and everyone just thinks it’s fine? Like no one questions why he thinks so lowly of himself even though he’s done a lot to prove that he’s more than what the show let on. I think it’s weird how in a conversation he’ll slip in comments about himself that are negative. I also think it’s so gross that he can’t have a moment of confusion without being disrespected and I know it’s supposed to be funny but at a certain point someone should really ask “is Steve okay?” I can bet money that the answer won’t be yes.

I also want to add how come Eddie (someone who doesn’t even know Steve from a can of paint other than school) find something nice to say about him and not put him down. This also adds to my list why I think steddie is real but that’s for another time

In Defense of Jacks in ACFTL

I do have spoilers, so this is your warning not to venture further if you haven't finished reading.

First off, I love how the story was told and how it ended. Could we have gotten more of the other characters? Yes. Did we really need to? Maybe, but I certainly didn't mind the absence. I didn't think we needed to address every character that we've met. We saw Castor and Lala, and I was happy about it, but I was strictly here for Evajacks story, and that's what I got.

I think Eva and Jacks had character development in this novel.

Eva isn't as trusting and hopeful as she was in the previous two books, and I was happy about it! Girl was getting murder attempted on her, and her husband is a narcissistic, manipulative psychopath. The only people she could trust were 1) being kept away from her or 2) avoiding her because they thought they were doing the best thing for her if they did so *cough* jacks

Jacks watched the girl he loved die! He blamed himself for what happened to Eva, and then continued staying away because he felt guilty and thought he was keeping her safe in doing so. He didn't know Apollo took Eva's memories away. He was too busy making sure Castor didn't go within 10 feet of Eva because Castor did attack Jacks after he went back in time to save her! He was still around Eva, he was just hiding in the shadows or out in the balcony peering through the windows. He genuinely thought Apollo was the better choice for Eva because at least Apollo hadn't done anything to her (as far as he knew).

Jacks apologized to her under the phoenix tree, saying that when he went back in time, he thought the stones would have taken something from him, not Eva, or are we all ignoring that because of that beautiful love confession Eva gave? He wanted our girl to live! When Eva met Castor in the Cursed Forest, Jacks literally put a knife through his best friend's chest in fear of having a repeat of the first timeline! Castor wasn't even doing anything, he was just trying to have a conversation with her.

Jacks was the tortured lover we all knew him to be. He wasn't Jacks, Prince of Hearts, with a trail of deadly kisses in search of true love in this novel. He was Jacks of the Hollow, a man who loved his girl so much he wanted her to live instead of dying at his kiss. We all know how badly Eva wanted to kiss him, and we all know Jacks can hear her thoughts. Can we blame him for staying away? He literally said that if she died again, he could not bring her back. The idea of that was terrifying to him. He already used the stones, and going to Honora would have the possibility of turning her into a vampire, maybe worse.

Jacks felt different in this novel because he finally admitted how much he loves Eva. We've seen him do so many things for her throughout the series. Was he holding back in the other two books? I'd argue not really, but he certainly wasn't going to let her be with him. He didn't want to admit he was in love with her. Dude literally held her like a grudge in the first novel, a secret in the second novel, and then a promise in the third. The hints were there for us. He would literally do anything for her. He just didn't want to admit to himself he loved her because if he allowed himself to there was the possibility that she could die.

Does Eva die in this book? No, thank god. But don't act like you read their kiss scene and didn't fucking break a little when Jacks went "No! Not again".

did you grow up with chronic pain? did you get called sensitive as a kid/teen with chronic pain? were you bombarded with wisecracks from adults who said you won’t know real pain till you get older? join my initiative to ban this vile practice from planet earth!

i had chronic pain as a kid. (still do now.) my physical ability was best in childhood, like, i could do cartwheels then, meanwhile i can’t walk now. but istg my pain was regularly at this very same level back in childhood. ok i have extra symptoms now which make things harder, but if we’re JUST focusing on the pain part, it’s often the same. this blows my mind. the level of pain that i have now, bedbound and with opioids and a million accommodations, is the same level i had when i was 10 when i was just walkin around all day, asking my teachers nicely if i could sit indoors during playtime. (they said no btw.) back then, every time i tried to tell people how much everything hurt, adults said i was “sensitive”.

was i sensitive? is that what i was?

I think i must have been insanely powerful as a 10 year old to be out and about with a level of pain that makes me nonfunctional as an adult. I wonder how many kids and teens are in that amount of pain right now and are being dismissed because of their age. i think the way adults treat children with long term pain is evil. “you don’t know real pain! it only gets worse as you get older! wait till you grow up!!”

okay i waited.

i’m closer to 30 now than i am to 10, and the more hindsight i gain, the more i realise what a horrific violation it is that my pain was ignored when i was the most vulnerable to the trauma of unmanaged pain and had the least frame of reference for what level of agony is normal to experience while climbing stairs

#ok to rb #HOT TIP. if it takes your child more than 20 minutes to recover from climbing stairs THEY ARE NOT SENSITIVE. they need MEDICAL HELP. #anyway. just thought y’all might relate #chronic pain #medical neglect #medical trauma #chronic illness #negative #disability #txt #I want to trigger tag this but idk what to put #rant #long post

i love that every weekend, f1 does something fans hate, max speaks out against it candidly and loudly, and all his haters are like “can’t believe i’m agreeing with him but—”. Like hate him all you want in general, idgaf, but surely you’ve reached a point where you can recognize that max just wants quality racing at interesting, competitive tracks with passionate fans who care about the sport more than the elitist performative celebrity showy bullshit around it. max loves f1 and wants it to be the best version of itself, and i don’t get how people still act shocked that they agree with him when it happens week after week. he’s probably the loudest and most consistent advocate for what most fans want races to be.

#it’s also why ‘max doesn’t care about this sport and winning 😡’ accusations are hilarious #people there just can’t fathom that some people experience and express emotions in a way different to them #they have a very singular (and neurotypical) perspective on a ‘right’ way to experience emotion #but idk what else max can do to prove to them how much he loves this sport #it only counts to them if he cries over the radio every weekend #anyway #that’s another rant #*

I think it’s silly how in fics Danny’s like “oh thank the ancients” or otherwise using them as a stand in for “oh my god”. He beat half their asses bi weekly and they only made him stronger. He spits on their names like a Canadian who just got attacked by geese 

He is cocky and full of rage. He can and has fist fought several gods, no way is he respecting them.

Maybe clockwork and pandora, but no one else (nope, nvm on clockwork).

Anyway I think he should curse them out or use them in derogatory ways rather than use them as a curse

Examples:

Oh fuck the Observants!

You’re dumber than the Observants

I’m gonna beat you so hard Nocturn would be impressed

I hope Vortex goes up ur ass hole

Overgrowth wants to know what ur smoking

I hope overgrowth eats ur mom

I’m not that creative but you get the point.

(This is no way a dis on the ancient trope, I like it fine enough)

#danny phantom #dp #dp fandom #phandom #ranting to the void #what even are the ancients? like the only time they’re referenced in the show is in regards to Pariah Dark an even that was a line #I think the phandom has decided that clockword and the observents are apart of them cause duh but also Pandora and the more elemental ghosts #which makes sense since they all seem to be concepts rather than past people #I think of them as like the 7Ds from the sandman if that makes sense #also idk if I’ve seen this take or not but is the ghost king an ancient? I’d say yes #if so danny has less of a reason to respect them #I have opinions on the function of the ghost king tho but I’ll save it for another post caue the tags are a bit much now #sometimes I feel I complain too much #my post

Pac: Actually– that's fine! I embrace that idea – of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy? [He hits his desk, then starts counting off people on his fingers] Fit is gone, Richarlyson is gone, Ramon is gone, Bagi and Empanada who were always there when we were there are also gone, I haven't seen them! It's just me and Tubbo, and sometimes Philza shows up.

Pac: I lost Chume Labs, I lost the Favela, I lost Murder Mystery, I lost Ilha Chume Labs, it's crazy! Look at how much I've lost, and I've gained nothing! Of course I'm going to be depressed, are you crazy?! How am I supposed to be happy?!

Pac: [Reading chat] "You have us Pac," that's true, thank you. No, that's true, sorry.

so im not sure if anyones interested, but, i went through quite a bunch of totk critiques by people who were also very disappointed with it and thought id share my favorite videos i found (granted, i only really wachted those that youtube recommened and its mostly .. white men... things like the orientalism problem are not mentioned at all for example, maybe ill update this post if i find any more diverse voices)

i dont agree with every single point and also dont know most of the channels (aside from the big zelda theory guys) so i judged solely by what they mentioned in those videos and the quality of it (like the audio .. bc i cant listen to bad audio)

in no particular order, also they talk about or use footage of the literal ending stuff so if you arent done with the game yet, better leave these for now

(the following one is a podcast thing by multiple zelda theory guys, there some stuff you can skip at the start thats just kidna random things, but the video is marked with chapters)

(theres some mention of some things not making sense, like the sonau only being two, and ithink thats kinda bc the english translation was weirdly vague about that, in the german version its much more directly said that they all died out and only rauru and mineru were left of them;

also mentions of how unfitting it is to call the enigma stones "secret"stones in english might come from a similar thing; in german they where called "Mysterienstein" which would be translated as mystic/mysterious/enigma- stone

just wanted to mention that since the vast majority are gonna play it in english only and the stuff online is also dominated by english)

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #ganondoodles rants #not really #but it kinda fits in the theme #some things are a lil too complainy for complainings sake #but overall those are the ones i felt spoke about alot of the broader problems #Youtube #also i dont ... like the english translations of these games #and im not a fan of the english voice acting either tbh #idk whats with zelda in particular #and i dont want to shit on translators #but man #some weird translation choices have done active damage in the whoe lore department #plus its jsut kinda .. weird and unecessary at times #why call it gloom?? miasma sound way more connected to malice and actually menacing #secret stones??? why?? mystic or engima is right there plus its confusing bc they .. are not secret at all?? #makes stuff complicated too bc im using the words i know but in english almost every name is totally different #why not ... keep the names of the og japanese?? #i know german is guilty of changing stuff too #but my point stands

Honestly i miss it when stolitz is just a crack ship judging by the pilot and doesn't really have that much angst or whatever random bullshit lore that they have...

Remember when the main theme of helluva boss is about assassins doing their jobs and not an angsty poorly written mlm love story?

What the fuck happened to the lore????
