Ough
I'm so tired of so many things
And mad at myself for not doing more with my life while also feeling like I'm literally unable to just fucking exist in this world
And sad that I can't do more about everything
Fuckin shit shack man

I think im just done with gender discourse tm. patriarchy is real. it hurts everyone. it hurts people who aren’t cishet men more, but it still hurts people who are cishet men. we should talk about how patriarchy hurts men, but insisting they be centered in the conversation is part of patriarchy. everyone is lonely. everyone is disconnected. everyone is struggling with mental health. it’s not women’s fault. it’s not feminism’s fault. our world just sucks. saying all men are evil is gender essentialism and part of the problem. saying that white cishet men have often unexamined privilege isn’t misandry. anti-trans and anti-queer movements are part of patriarchy and it doesn’t matter if you dress it up as feminism because it’s not. feminism means equality. feminism is intersectional. race is a component. disability is a component. none of us is free till all of us are free. i’m tired of being told i’m too mean and not mean enough. i just want to live my life with my friends.

Haha it's happened again the other day when I got home from work it was super windy and as I was eating dinner I noticed my blinds banging a lot, I got up and checked and my window was about 15cm open. I've never opened that window ever, so someone tried to break into my apartment. I think I'm cursed. This is the 5th break in or attempt I've had in the last 3 years, all across different properties. I'm honestly not even scared any more I'm just so fucking used to it. God next building I move to better have security entrance fucking hell

I'm about to hit a really rough patch, since my psych is adjusting my dose of something and it is load-bearing but also will require a PA for a controlled substance, so who knows how long that will take, and in the meantime, I will have nothing. I'm going to be restless and bored and depressed for anything from a few days to a whole month. I don't even get to know how long.
My boyfriend is in the same boat, just more indefinitely, as his insurance has REEEALLY fucked things up and his clinic is...not hostile, but definitely unhelpful. The pharmacy, which used to be really good, has gone downhill recently. So we have to prompt all three to do their jobs as each step is completed and sent along. Multiple times, since insurance keeps fucking up. As a result, he is acutely miserable and unable to do much of anything, and we don't know when that will end.
I'm...having a hard time with this. Facing down an uncertain length of time with diminished support from both sides and unable to help my boyfriend through the same issues. It's really painful, I miss doing the fun things that made life marginally more tolerable, and I don't have much going on that I am enjoying. I'm riding a temporary hyperfixation that is winding down, and once it's gone, I'm at the mercy of hoping another one comes along. This sucks.
I hate. I tried to qualify that statement but I just can't boil it down. I just...hate.

If Larian takes away the breakup argument before I even get a chance to explain why it’s IC, because the shits can’t handle bad press, I’m going to be very mad.
Heaven forbid the woman with a lot of emotional issues isn’t sunshine and rainbows like people want, and will snap at your character the moment things aren’t going right because she’s projecting on Dark Urge for so many reasons and already has an unhealthy attachment to them right away and so many other reasons. (And YES it’s in character.)
There is no realistic way that we can know what the writers have in mind. People make fun of being able to kiss her after, but who knows it might be just a couples fight we don’t know. None of us work for Larian on this blasted website or know Emma Gregory. And it’s too early to tell in terms of this because they’re literally FINALLY putting in previously inaccessible scenes and it’s a slow process. We might not even have the full picture yet, we don’t know.

the way izzy was received by this fandom rlly is the worst combo of how fans responded to kylo ren and how fans responded to, like, tyler durden or walter white.
anything i could say comparing izzy fans and kylo fans was already said in this fucking incredible post by @chuplayswithfire. but basically: izzy is a huge cunt to everyone in this show but fans take him at his word when he talks about being hardworking and competent, they minimize and excuse his actions and act like he's an innocent traumatized baby, and they focus on him, a shitty white antagonist, instead of any of the other interesting characters of color they could be paying attention to
but imo the thing that rlly makes a difference between izzy and kylo, and the thing that makes me compare him to those other two white dudes i mentioned above, is that unlike the movies kylo ren is in, ofmd is actually well-written
the first movie in the star wars sequel trilogy was pitched, written, filmed, and literally released with no ending for the trilogy in mind. the writing for the next movies was adjusted based on fan reactions, and major plot points were decided by studio executives deciding which events would make the movie more profitable. i should not have to explain to you that this is a terrible way to write a movie series. or a television series. or literally any kind of fucking story in the world.
our flag means death, or what we have of it so far, is not that. there's fully developed characters with given realistic motivations, instead of one-dimensional props that are jerked around by a constant tug-of-war between writers, directors, and studio executives. there are narrative plot points that are woven expertly throughout the story, not hints of storylines that are completely forgotten about by the next franchise, or storylines that were finished that are getting dug up again. there's a central theme to ofmd, unlike the new star wars movies, where the theme seems to be "how can we milk this fucking franchise for all it's worth." there's no goddamn queerbaiting
i'll admit that i've never actually seen breaking bad, and everything i know about it i've learned via tumblr osmosis. but from what i can tell, it's actually a very well-written show, and the whole point of the show is that walter white is the epitome of entitled and abusive white man who thinks he's super tough and badass and that everyone should listen to him and do whatever he tells them to do (lmao, sound familiar?). he ruins his life and the lives of everyone around him and idk he might die in the end. anyway dont do drugs.
fight club i have seen, and i can confirm that this is a fantastic movie that features, you guessed it, an arrogant white guy who represents the classic violent male power fantasy. the narrator, deeply depressed because he's a beta male, watches jealously from the sidelines as tyler durden starts seeking violence, first from just meeting up with random guys for consensual beatdowns, but it escalates as more and more men start joining the fight club (wow! the title of the movie!) until the club morphs into a terrorist group. also if you haven't seen it there's a Big Plot Twist that i haven't mentioned and it's pretty good. love that movie.
anyway the point is that both of those men are very obviously. shitty fucking guys. classic macho men (even tho tyler durden's fashion sense is fantastically fruity, for some reason) who crave power over others and respect in the form of fear. the whole point of their fucking characters is that in any generic action movie, they would be the heroes
and so many fans just. completely fucking miss this. there are hoards of dudebro fan guys who relate to these characters and go "wow, he's just like me!" and absolutely do not get the point of the thing they're watching. it is fucking baffling to see
anyway that's izzy stans!! an truly groundbreaking combo of your classic female fans who woobify evil white men and classic male fans who miss the entire point of characters who are written to subvert the expectations of what kind of role a character like izzy hands, walter white, or tyler durden would be expected to play!!!!! izzy hands is written to be an antagonist and the personification of toxic masculinity that ed is trying to escape from, and yet people are acting like he's the show's third protagonist.
because izzy would be a protagonist, in a different and much shittier story. and even though we all watched the same show where he very clearly is not the protagonist, people are applying that role to izzy and not actually looking at what role he plays in this show.
