#im not qualified but I want to talk about it

[supercalime]

I can’t believe I found people who think about this the exact same way as I do. I don’t get these hardcore buddie stans who suddenly try to make it look like buckTommy shipper are the toxic ones. I haven’t seen a single BuckTommy shipper who was rude without a reason (maybe a bit defensive about their CANON ship). Whereas I’ve seen plenty of incredibly toxic buddie stans who insult everyone who doesn’t ship their ship or share their opinions.

Another thing and don’t get me wrong Im not defending anyone. But I’ve seen many people heavily bullying the marisol actress because she’s apparently homophobic (not saying she isn’t or is) and wanting her to be gone beacause of this reason but totally ignore the alleged racism of ryan (again not saying he is racist or not, i dont know them personally) just because he is part of their beloved ship. By their logic Ryan should leave the show too.

Hey anon, it took me some time to answer your ask (chaotic life stuff lol) but I’m glad to finally have time to talk about this first part with you.

I’ll preface by saying I won’t get involved in actor drama, no matter how true or toxic it is because I don’t have enough information nor am I qualified to talk about the issues they mishandled. I’ll just say that, no matter who does bad things, they should be held accountable.

Okay, back to the main point: yes, it’s very strange how b*ddie st*ns are behaving towards the canon bi!buck thing. Both with people who ship bucktommy but also with the creators and actors on the show. Regardless if they are right or not about b*ddie being canon, this is not how you act with entertainment, specially with the people giving the content.

I hate to bash but it looks and sounds a lot like a toddler throwing a tantrum because they didn’t get a specific toy.

And toddlers only throw tantrums because they are brand new humans who are learning how to behave. They don’t know any better so they react with outbursts and repeated demands because it’s the only way they know to get the attention of the person taking care of them.

If I’m not mistaken, the main audience for the show is 18-45. NO ONE here should be yelling in comment sections “we want buddie! we want buddie! we want buddie!” as if they would immediately get it. It’s not how it works and it’s frankly embarrassing to see a bunch of adults acting like that for everyone to see.

And I can’t stress it enough, I’m not putting myself on a high ground here and saying I’m a better person by shipping bucktommy, as I’m sure there might be a percentage of fans out there being rude and annoying as well. But at least I’m keeping my conscience clear by not acting like me shipping two characters is something big enough in my life to ruin my enjoyment of a whole show in case my favorite ship doesn’t become canon.

I hate how fandoms behave as if they can have control over the content they are consuming. We aren’t entitled to anything and if there is supposed to be ANY discourse about which character was supposed to end with, that should happen AFTER the show ended! The story isn’t over yet! So why are b*ddie st*ns so stressed? If a show is making you this angry and demanding, please step aside a little, give it some distance because that’s not how consuming content is supposed to make you feel.

And I say that last part with sincerity because I too got way too involved with fandom discourse in the past, to the point that I had to distance myself from certain shows because being that involved made me upset.

Im just tired at this point you know. Im trying to protect myself as much as possible. Im not in the bird app, I don’t follow the show or the actors on social media, im avoiding interviews like the plague. All I want from this experience is to watch the show, gather my thoughts, form my opinions, log onto tumblr and reblog the cute stuff I see about my favorite ship without having to worry about whatever the hell is going on outside my pretty little bubble

Im dreading this

PRE STATEMENT/ CASE

OHHH DATE TIME

THE FLIRTING

This is so cute but i cant trust it because alex wrote it

"that you dont know how cute you are" adshfjagdhflakshdf

WERE STARTING WITH THE BIG STUFF

"hi im from an alternate universe"

CELIA IS A MOM

JACK IS HER BABY

"i had a while few years when I first moved here"

IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO CELIA OR JACK I WILL RIOT

HOW DARE

CASE

this hold music is a BOP

i had to stop and have my friend explain public school in England to me because that is not the same thing as American public schools

oh lovely a "fiance guy"

a hedge fund guy what i mean is a hedge fund guy

Why in gods name, would you use experimental setting on a hedge fund/ investing app… when you have no idea what it does and it has a shit tone of disclaimers??? i get being desperate but that's just stupid

also the irony of this guy saying hes a good person when hes betting on people failing with hedge funds

do people even steal phones anymore?

i feel like they are not worth all that much and just have to many ways to tack them for it to be worth anything unless you are targeting someone specifically

yeah i figured they might have targeted him

im pretty sure this would qualify as inside trading somehow

betting against your own company and than tanking the company is very illegal

pretty sure betting you'll have a shit time and then making sure you have a shit time would be the same thing

basically this man is committing insurance fraud... but through a hedge fund

it just occurred to me hes calling from the hospital that's what the beeping is

also vertigo mentioned

he was attack by computer bugs lol

shitty "finance guy" gets whats coming to him asmr

post statement

HAVE YALL BEEN HOOKING UP?

this is how i choose to interpret this this is my new head canon( it was already kinda my head canon)

But if you ever ask me to be professional again, I'm going to have to take a shit on your desk." ALICE

"you signed the official secrets act in your onboarding. And I know all your school friends say treason's 'bussin'' and 'fire', but it won't look good on your CV." i love her so much

"its fine when I say it"

this episode really said fuck capitalism didn't it

also do week need to talk about the fact that celia's son is named Jack Ripley like jack the ripper

WAIT A SECOND JACK IS A NICKNAME FOR JOHN/JON

DID SHE NAME HER SON AFTER JON?

If Entrapta's character is like a feral shonen protagonist (Goku or Luffy) became a scientist instead of a fighter, then what is her opposite?

What character in fiction is like if a calculated mad scientist type (think Princess Bubblegum or Bulma) became a fighter instead?

#not just a tactical fighter like sasuke #im talking someone who does shonen battles as if they are a mad scientist #but they cant just be a scientist who also does battles they have to be all about fighting #its difficult because fighting can itself be a science such as with alchemy #maybe some of the characters from my hero academia or fullmetal alchemist can qualify #anyway the best direct example i can think of is the sherlock holmes DISCOMBOBULATE scene but it doesnt count #because sherlock holmes is also a scientist in that series #is... is usopp a scientist??? does he qualify as a scientist???? #usopp might be divorced enough from being an actual scientist to qualify #his calling was science and technology but he foolishly decided to be a warrior of the sea instead #hes not quite what im looking for though #i bet theres a lot of villains like this though because villains always do insane shit #like sepiroth using maths to pull a meteor to destroy the planet #see thats the kind of shit i want

[trans-oberon]

anyways here's my take on a summer caenis that DOESN'T give me insane second-hand dysphoria 👍 got rid of his noodle arms while i was at it

#fate grand order #fgo #caenis #caeneus #edits #listen the way fgo treats trans characters is just. UGH. #i absolutely don't want to take anything away from other trans people who DO identify with some aspect of their portrayal!! it's just. #imo Don't Put The Transmascs In Bikinis should be like rule number 1 of writing trans characters lmao #and i dont even feel qualified to talk about the transfem characters. astolfo d'eon da vinci im so sorry for everything forever #...btw if you REALLY don't agree please just block me. i am a working adult and we both have better things to do with our time (-_-)👍 #mmkay rant over. anyway i didnt give caenis any bulge but im sure all you freaky fellows out there can use your imaginations.

#its like i dont know how to socialize in fandom except for fic comments anymore #i want to talk to people and make friends but do i even say outside of #look at this thing I've written #do you like it #do you like me #i used to know people who were good at making fandom socializing spaces #it's not a skill i see as much these days #i want to talk about my blorbos with people but also how our day went #and i know other people also come to fandom bc they want friends #its hard BC I feel unless what im saying qualifies as good content i shouldn't speak #it doesn't help that my entire life rn is dread and dishes #i want to talk about fandom but what do I have to say? #so i push myself to write when I have no energy for it #and at the same time #when people do talk to me #i get overwhelmed #i shut down #and then i write posts in the tags #bc I want this to be easy to ignore #so people dont feel guilty #so its easy to just go #i do not see it #i post

being a tf2 fan has you searching shit like "us draft 1968" "us military drafts" "wars united states participation" "vietnam war drafts"

#its about fucking scout yeah #BTW EDIT. im talking about the vietnam war here #is he a draft dodger? did he not get picked? where do his dog tags come from? #did he get drafted but not sent to the battlefield? #also. ww2. which of the mercs fought. #spy. probably fought. maybe (probably) not on the front lines #heavy. im saying he didnt fight because he ran from a gulag and the lived in siberia. #soldier. we all know. #medic. IF he fought then probably def not on tbe front lines but im more inclined to say he didnt fight #as in he ran to switzerland or america or smth. for my personal reasons #demo. good question actually. im saying he didnt fight #a) would he be of age to fight? b) would he qualify for medical reasons? c) would his moms influence exclude him? #this shit is gonna get me googling scotlands involvement in ww2 #i want to say he didnt fight #engie. hm. did engineer from hit game team fortress 2 fight in the second world war. #i want to say he didnt but he probably (realistically) did #(except its tf2 universe so. whats realistic. is ww2 even canon in tf2 universe.)(lets assume it is as canon as it is irl) #if pyro fight they werent in the military they were just there for some reason. happy to be included in any bloodshed #sniper (by comics canon) is i think too young to have fought. also hes australian. #this shit is gonna have me googling australian involvement in ww2 #holy shit #delete later

[thatweirdnoise]

I know the elections are just for entertainment and nothing is fr, but i see people on twitter (not surprising) and here having awful takes about the brazilian because they take them as too aggressive, rude or overall just too emotional during the debates. And it's giving me the ick

It's a very strong stereotype that latinos are seen as scandalous and rowdy by gringos, and while I don't feel that was the intention, that's exactly how some people here are viewing Cellbit and Forever's on this :')

it's normal for people to talk over each other in debates, and every time Cellbit and Forever realized they were doing this to Baghs, they gave her space to speak.

some of you are acting as if they believe they own the truth and keep their ears shut to anything Baghs and BBH say, but this is not the case. the real problem here is that bad and baghs don't trust insaneduo enough to talk about their plans (valid tbh, Forever will tell anything to Cellbo. And they don't trust Cellbit so...), and this makes cellbo and 4ever see them like they don't have anything concrete planned.

this lack of information makes it seem like they are ignoring bbh and Baghs words, but that's literally just it, lack of information and poor communication between candidates

People acting like the two are difficult to cooperate with, saying they don't listen to anyone and judging them for talking loud or being excited during a minecraft debate, just shows how limited your views on brazilians are

#and #another thing #Cellbit wanting to prove he's the most qualified for president (he doesn't even believe that but anyway) #is just part of how a normal debate works #you want to convince the public that you are a better choice than the other candidates #there's nothing wrong about it (in the democratic sense at least) #i wasn't even goin to vote #but im starting to feel like people are being too weird about the brazilians #qsmp elections #discourse #phantom shenanigans #i hate doing posts like this #but i didn't see a lot of ppl talking about this here on tumblr #qsmp

[piosplayhouse]

Not going to get involved in the ao3 politics shit but I just want to say after reading some of the top posts on this site I can tell most of the people talking about this subject very clearly did not experience Sexytimes With Wangxian

#honestly though despite how you feel about rhe big topics i havent seen much discussion about how The Candidate just... doesnt seem #experienced to be working that position at all? just objectively reading her interview she says she has NO experience working online #even communicating with slack or such; self proclaimed fandom newbie etc #like I can't tell you what to think about the big issues but like if you wanted to hire someone to work at your local dog shelter #and you interviewed them and they said they only really just started interacting w dogs and they had never had any experience #with dealing with caring for animals at all or the adoption process.. would you hire them lol #anyway just my 2 bits #ao3 #ao3 discourse #also hiding this at the very bottom of the tags bc i dont want to catch heat but i actually dont think people are aware so just to qualify #the rpf rhat got ao3 banned in china was not about a real life minor . i see a lot of people talking about minor rpf and i think its weird #as shit too personally but just to get facts right the rpf that allegedly sparked the ban was about a 30yr old adult man #idk if that changes anything but just putting that out there #oh ok also im getting intel that the reason the fic was mass reported and ao3 wS subsequently banned was because the fic #featured one of the actors as trans. so thats a frightening addition if true

[rithmeres]

genuinely these panels are going to make me ugly cry

#i'm not back for real yet i think i want to stay away longer. i'm just here to put more things in the queue and answer messages #i really enjoyed trimax vol 4 idk something about it was less miserable than 1-3 #might have been the first volume that i wasn't grimacing the entire time i read it. or maybe i'm just desensitized now. #unironically this prayer is soooo beautiful to me. give us this day our daily bread. not bread for the week not bread for a year #just enough for today. #lately when i've been praying it just looks like #please for the love of god please please please please please PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPL #things are not looking good for the community house.. lots bureaucracy with the city. and the church that funded us is falling apart #i don't know what i'm going to do if we get shut down it's the one thing in my life that's worth anything #all those kids... where are they going to go. who is going to help them. where is the neighborhood going to get their food. #in two days it will be the anniversary of [REDACTED] and i am so so so scared #just sat in my room today and fruitlessly scrolled thru jobs im not qualified for & tried not to think about thinking about killing myself #i don't WANT to kill myself i don't want to think about it i hate thinking about killing myself i will never ever kill myself or even try #but there is a demon or perhaps a ghost or evil wizard that tells me there's an easy way everything can go away. and it's A STUPID. BITCH. #please do not reply to this post i know you all mean well but i just don't think i can handle it. #talking about it i mean. and hearing people say nice but empty things. #i just wish i had someone to sit next to me. #personal #i don't want to go to church tomorrow :( it all feels so fake and i do not ever feel fed.

chronic pain thots in the tags

#so I went for a walk earlier this week!!! at the park!!! #and nothing hurt #and my last podiatrist visit went really well and the bone is healing well #and yet im like. a little hesitant to talk about it on here #bc i spent a lot of time in my 20s absolutely convinced that this was a chronic pain that was never going away #and was only ever going to get worse and worse #and now it’s just. gone #and while im ecstatic about that i feel kind of?? guilty?? #cause like. there are SO many people who live with chronic pain worse than mine was #and they aren’t going to get the cutting edge surgery that I got #who have pain there is NO magic bullet for #but it’s in my nature to want to share good news after being in so much pain for so long #and I WANT to talk about how there are calluses on my feet I thought everyone had that are suddenly softening and going away #i WANT to ask what I should do with my collection of canes now that I don’t need them to go grocery shopping #but it’s just. like. maybe this is disrespectful to everyone who won’t ever get that relief #man idk. it’s a weird space to be in #to think you were gonna just be in pain and limited mobility forever and then have it fixed over the course of less than 1 calendar year #and now suddenly i don’t ‘qualify’ to be in chronic pain discord servers anymore #man I just. i dunno. post over

[old-stoneface]

found out today that pretty much all my coworkers and managers know that the reason my schedule was changed was because theyre trying to convince me to stay at the store . and its making me want to leave sooner . like for every single manager who asks me how im doing, i just want to walk out even more. i have no idea what they expected but it could also just be because im mentally ill and i get really angry at the idea of people discussing me behind my back and the idea that those discussers are most likely misgendering me . i tend to be a secretive and antisocial person irl because i have trust issues lmao and im trying so hard to put up a front of cheerful obedience but its eating away at me

#sam.txt #theres only one person who i want to order me around and none of these motherfuckers qualify as such #im probably going to delete this later. i really hate venting online but im just tired and i want to talk about this somewhere #because i cant keep this all in my head if its making me this angry

[caffeinatedopossum]

Instead of saying "my special interest is x" I love just saying "I have a special interest in x" because then it sounds less like I'm obsessed and more like I have a degree or I'm going to college for it

#im not a professional!! #honestly you cant tell me though that autistics are not over qualified when it comes to their special interests #like it may as well be a degree #im always like because i talk about health (mental and otherwise a lot) and 1) i know thats a thing people say #and 2) i also genuinely dont know that much. just slightly above average. but if i come accross things i dont know i will discover them #so its basically like im going to school for it except i dont pay to study stuff and i wont get a fancy piece of paper #and also i can learn whatever i want and dont have to adhere to a curriculum or pander to my professors and classmates

[gay-kurapika]

My earlier post about chronic pain was a vent but I guess I kind of want to talk about it more. I do not think men take women's pain seriously. If they have any pain you'll hear about it. It will be compensated at work. It will be the subject of studies. If a woman is in pain it's normal. I'm so tired of this, I've been managing my own pain for years and it's only gotten worse. I can't complain about my back hurting without someone saying "oh it'll be worse when you're old like me" like yeah I fucking know? It's bad now, I'm sure it'll get worse? My mother uses a rolling computer chair to get around in her bathroom and kitchen, I have no illusion that this is going to get better. But why isn't my pain taken seriously, why can i not get insurance or a day off work or anything else that might help? Because pain isn't real until you've gained the privilege of someone caring about your pain.

#and im not qualified to talk about this but i know your pain is being ignored if youre not white too. #i just want people to actually care and believe someone when they talk about pain.

[mogai-sunflowers]

Am I the only one who really hated the year where the "nobody asked thing" happened a ton? It was used against me a lot whenever I overshared and as an autistic person I have trouble regulating that so I just stopped talking at all.

YEAH IT'S SO RUDE AND FOR NO FUCKING REASON??????????????? one time someone said that exact thing to me and i had a panic attack and felt so horrible but now looking back on it....... yes! yes you DID ask!!! because you made a public post with an opinion and gave absolutely no instruction as to who you wanted to respond! this is on YOU! /nay anon

#🌌written in the stars ; asks🌌 #im so sorry anon thats really sucky #u can overshare with me anytime and i wont be like that and im dead serious. #the way internet leftism practically requires you to be perfect is so fucking annoying #people act like if you aren't a part of a certain group that youre an asshole if you ever engage in convos about said group. #which is fucking RIDICULOUS!! #like for context #this person made a post sharing an opinion on unlearning racism. and i added my opinion because i too #am a person who has had to unlearn racism. what a shocker. #so i added on agreeing with their point and adding a little of my own insight. #and they responded saying they didnt ask for my white opinion and i needed to shut up #and its like. i understand and respect if you dont want white people interacting with your posts. but you DIDNT SAY THAT! #and sense you didnt i assumed that it was okay to add my opinion because THATS HOW HUMAN CONVERSATIONS WORK!!!! #it was perfectly normal for me to engage in a discussion on racism. i wasn't speaking on an issue i have no say in #i was simply talking about the importance of unlearning racism and doing the work because i have experience with that and its true. #this is true for all nuances and group dynamics im just talking about this rn #please dont get me wrong im not trying to undermine the importance of centering poc #and im not in any way trying to say that white people are always qualified to talk about racism or that we should always share our opinions #OR that poc are obligated to be nice to white people when they're disrespectful to them. #but my point is here that i was entirely within my lane #entirely respectful #but because i misinterpreted a social situation that was not at all clear i was suddenly the bad guy #and its infuriating because this has happened so many times. im not a bad person for getting shit wrong and its done so much and i mean SO #FUCKING #MUCH #harm to my mental health to think of myself as a failure because of my mistakes #it's just. ugh. stop

[gothamcityneedsme]

also basically all of those screenshots are tavon being mean b/c i think its way funnier when he's mean. i dont screenshot when he says nice things

#shitpost #i mean. i do. i have over 1000 screenshots from today #but like. i dont usually POST those #thats for my brainworms writing process #he was nice to petra and to sa'har this patch. and rass i suppose but he DID say something pretty mean to rass so i think it balances out #well. not to rass like exactly but tavon did say like one shitty thing about mandalorians lmao. #because he was like. uhhh you guys better fix that shit. and rass was like I KNOW WE'RE WORKING ON IT OK #etc etc its fine. but it was a little mean #anyways also #he said something almost out of character to petra because he was like #im not qualified in this but i AM the leader of a force enclave so i feel like i should tell this nascent force user that uh #leaning on her anger probably isn't a good move. and. in a practical sense. will probably get her killed #but ALSO i know for force users there are some Not So Good Vibes Here #so like. im obsessed w/ that too #and tbh tavon has been wanting to actually talk to sa'har since like. manaan. #since manaan he became like. he basically has no intention to fight her unless she makes it happen #which is VERY STRANGE for him #but he picked up on the Something Is Going On vibes and he's like. hmmm #usually he is far more like. harder to disarm vs a foe #but he can tell sa'har is presenting herself as a foe and... isnt one really #which is quite fun for me because that's not something tavon does often #something i expect more from my other characters

[red1ight]

i hate this stupid fucking job sm i want to scream but instead im just like 🙂👍🏼 no problem all good

#i feel so empty almost all of the time like i feel actually nothing and there's nothing going through my head #ive lost any sense of self or personality I might have had truly #i dont even feel like a person i just go to work do everything everyone says make my little office small talk go home that's it #and i cant fucking stand the isolation #though ik that's not just bc of the job #i literally do not give a shit about any of this i never have #i wanna quit so bad but there's literally nothing else i'm qualified to do im just stuck like this #and i hate leaving work and having it be dark out #whos idea was it to turn the clocks back during the coldest and darkest months of the year #and spend all of our daylight hours in a fucking office building i want to die
