#it just feels pointless

[nieloxychen]

i usually dont care about spoilers and all that. but sometimes the ending of a game makes playing the game feel pointless and depressing :(

#like if the end of the game is: the world ends and theres nothing you can do to stop it #and the main quest of the game has been to save the world? #it just feels pointless #anyway thats one game im dropping #at least until i forget why i dropped it

I've seen the opinions that RWBY started going downhill, and I could kind of understand even if I still enjoyed it.

But volume 9 is painful, and I'm only 2 episodes in...

#This isn't the silly fun from before #It just feels pointless

[buggachat]

honestly just in general it's very exhausting to try to analyze media that is literally meant to be analyzed, only for the replies to be filled with people arguing not against your analysis, but against the premise that the media can be analyzed at all.

i don't even know what to say about it without starting to really betray my frustration, so i'll just settle with— just don't engage with analysis posts? I'm serious. if you're typing a response to a media analysis post, reread what you've written and ask yourself "is this comment/response against the very concept of analyzing the media at all?" and if the answer is yes then delete it all and go sit in the shame corner. throw your curtains away if you want to so bad and stop telling me that I'm not allowed to hum and haw at the fact mine are blue

#ml fandom salt #I suppose #and no amount of adding ''stop telling me to not analyze the media'' on my analysis posts stops people from saying it anyway #and yes. the leaks count. stop telling me that the existence of outdated leaks invalidates all analyses of the completed material #and no. just like every other time i've said this. me saying that i don't care about the leaks is not an invitation for you to try to #convince me to care about the leaks #do i tag this spoilers? it feels weird to. i mean this to be a vague overarching thing about media in general #also of course any ''or maybe the writers are just bad'' arguments ALSO are included in this. YOU guys have been my bane since FOREVER #would you guys consider commenting on fanart with ''umm.... drawing seems pretty pointless lmao'' rude? #i know this is not the first time i've made a post like this and i'm sure it won't be the last

[redonionlover]

sunstone..? perhaps???

anon ur so real for this... they're my faves since i first played rw

havent drawn them in a loong time though so i doodled these real quick :^)

#rain world #five pebbles #seven red suns #rw sunstone #my art #also to clarify because im annoying and love overexplaining things ☝️🤓 #the quote on the second pic is supposed to summarize their feelings towards the great task #and each other too of course #in that theyre kinda right to feel isolated because a lot of other iterators dont talk about this feeling of pointlessness #but theyre still being a tad pretentious here #just because people dont talk about their struggles doesnt mean theyre not struggling! #suns does understand this to a degree #but still #so much of their dialogue reads like a “you're the only one who gets me” kinda thing #okay ill stop rambling #ill never get over these two

Fuck it, silly poll time. What is your most hated face emoji? The one you wish you could stop people from using forever?

Bonus Challenge: Don't get ACTUALLY upset at people over emojis. 🙂

Urgh it’s so silly. #I gotta be patient with : client. manager. and boss. each wanting their idea to win. #I was happily coming home. Then some shitty vibe poisoned the air now everyone feels bad.

hate it when there’s already enough characters & they bring in a new one to take up all the attention from the already interesting characters. like ok. no one asked

#I usually end up warming up but I do seem to often hafe new characters #I hate Harry’s ex wife fr she’s so annoying like omg who caress #how many love interests does Harry need #like he has enough. this is too many. what was the point of her showing up. go away & stop causing drama there’s enough going on #with the alien plot & all the other love & family drama among the characters #this just feels so pointless. what’s the point of her #I’m watching resident alien btw #sorry I’ve been silent so far I’ve just been casually liking it #my toxic trait is I only comment on stuff I don’t like lol #tv tag #resident alien

outfit I bought myself for my birthday :v

#tweaked my sona design a bit and also HOW did it take me this long to realize it should be PURPLE #artists on tumblr #artbyrom #idog #i-dog #I've had the nagging impulse to draw often lately but I'm still grappling with like...... #'why bother I don't feel like it will be worth the effort :|' #I think I need to just acclimate myself BACK to the idea of drawing. pointless stuff

[tnnrrdchclt]

#gets me very far. i’m just going through it and annoyed at myself when i shouldn’t be because i can’t anticipate everything — #no matter how intuitive i am or regardless of how much discernment i have. #i hate being here. i feel like i made excuses in hopes of not being here and still ended up here. #i wouldn’t even call them excuses because i thought i was giving grace and clearly looks like grace at my expense is a betrayal. #i’m getting better at choosing myself. at the moment it might feel like a loss and everything feels pointless and all i want to do is cry - #i never want to feel like this again. #anyone who wants to hate me can hate me. i do not care. #i will say that since i’ve posted this - it’s nice to see other folks and their take on self awareness. almost comforting i’d say.

steve falls in love with eddie because he's this perfect amalgamation of everyone he's ever loved.

there's nancy's curly brown hair, of course, but also her fierce stubbornness and her bashful little smile when steve is being purposefully obtuse. there's tommy's passion, his impulsivity, his need to get under steve's skin in the best way possible. there's jonathan's quick remarks with a crooked grin and heather m's soft touches on bruised skin and robin's flailing hands when she talks that steve loves so much.

there's even the dorkiness of his kids that only amplifies when eddie's around them, all their talks of fantastic worlds that steve knows nothing about but nods along like he gets it. there's the bright blinding smiles that seem to pull at every face in the room when they win, hooting and hollering in a harmonious chorus.

steve falls in love with eddie for all of those things but also for all of the things he possesses on his own. his charm and his wit, his need to make steve smile every waking moment. the way he knows when steve needs quiet and dark so he closes the blinds before wrapping him up in his steady arms.

eddie falls in love with steve for all of the things that seem new to him.

he's never had a guy treat him like steve does, never had soft smiles and cards on valentines day, never had date nights or kisses in the daytime or a hand that fits gently against his own. he doesn't feel like a dirty secret pushed away to closets and out of windows. he doesn't see the quick glances around to make sure no one's watching before he gets into steve's car like he's used to getting with old partners. he doesn't get shushed or ignored or heartbroken.

he's used to being shrouded in darkness but steve is like sunshine, his love warming eddie like sunrays in and of themselves. he's used to confusion and questions but steve makes him feel wanted. makes him feel loved back.

steve is protective and smart. he sees through the bullshit eddie's built up around himself and holds him when those walls inevitably crumble down. eddie falls in love with steve because he sees him for who he truly is and loves him because of it.

they fall in love with each other because their jagged edges were made for one another, like puzzle pieces in the wrong box finding their way back home. they fall in love with each other because nothing else has ever felt more right. they fall in love with each other because everyone they loved before was a trial, a test, pushing them together whether they knew it or not.

#hi hello i promise i haven't vanished i just don't have the mental energy for tumblr (as silly as that seems i know) #i think once my bb is finished my brain will finally feel not in anxiety mode 24/7 and i can be back to cutting it up with yall here again #my writing #steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #steddie drabble #steddie fic #steddie fluff #ps heather m is not a person in stranger things but it felt empty without another person being in there so i made someone up sue me #bee not writing smut at work? what in the world???? #long post #could i put this under a readmore? yeah but it seems kinda pointless so sorry about that

Genuinely convinced that the people who love Ascended!Astarion and argue with people about him genuinely loving Tav the same way he did before, or it being his best ending over Spawn (in terms of character arc, not taste) legit only picked the enthusiastic options for Tav when dealing with him, and most certainly didn't break up with him and talk to him afterward. He says some downright chilling shit to a Tav who refused to become a spawn.

And like, sure, it's because he's hurt and he's coping to some degree. Astarion can be vicious even in a good mode, and Tav agreeing to help him ascend only to essentially abandon him is painful to deal with, but of all the shit for him to say??

Tav can argue that he's becoming like Cazador the night before, and he gets so hurt and angry if Tav says that, and it makes sense! It's a harsh thing to say, and even after that argument, no matter what, Astarion will be willing to let it go if Tav wants to stay together and agrees to become his Spawn. You can run through the entire dialogue tree again before it forces you to pick an out option, that's how desperate he is to keep them. But like goddamn how can you beat the accusations if you're willing to say shit like this?? A thing that could have easily come straight from Cazador!

Regardless, however, of his desperation, his real feelings, Ascended!Astarion is fundamentally different, in his mind, than how he used to be. Magic has literally corrupted him, changed what his body is capable of, the curse that he was given as a spawn is different now. Sure, Astarion didn't stop loving Tav the second the ritual was over, or the day after or the day after that, but even he knows he's changing, and rapidly, but he can only recognize so much of what's different, and everyone else can see what he can't. By his epilogue at the end of the game, he might as well be another vampire lord, just far, far more dangerous.

A big argument against asexuality and aromaticism is the idea that you can be too young to know. I remember people being so put out by the idea of somebody under eighteen identifying as aro or ace, and they made it known how they thought it was bad.

However... I really don't agree with that outlook. I knew something was up with me when my friends were developing a "normal" identity in the eyes of amatonormativity, and I was under eighteen. Mind you, I didn't have words to express how I felt, so I was in a perpetual state of feeling pressure to be "one of the normals." It made my life miserable because I was being dishonest to myself and cloaking who I was behind a layer of shame.

My point is that... when you know, you tend to know. Sure, your identity might change, but is that more important than making sure you are comfortable in yourself? Would you rather feel the way I did at my age hearing about my allo friends? Because it was unbearable, and I don't wish that on anybody.

#ace #asexual #aro #aromantic #lgbt #lgbtq #i guess i can see where people are coming from... but a lot of people who say this don't seem to be aro and/or ace #and it's like... okay you can ask how people can *know* they're aro and/or ace at a young age but it seems rather pointless to me #like... i feel the same way about being aroace as i did when i was in sixth grade having the same feelings so... #...i guess people are really under the impression that secretly *everybody* is allo and they just need to be proven they are #i'm here to say how wrong that is. allo is natural and so is aro/ace #anyway if somebody outgrows being aro and/or ace then: GOOD FOR THEM /gen /nm #i WANT people to understand their own sexuality and romantic feelings. i WANT people to be honest with themselves #and if that means they stop IDing as aro or ace or allo then so be it!!!!!

gen fic is a valuable type of fic with just as much capacity for sincere emotion and intimacy and exploration of interpersonal relationships as ship fic. it’s not just ‘fic with actual feelings in it (ship fic)’ and ‘fic with a concrete plot that focuses on physical events and is super serious but only about those physical events (gen fic)’ and I have no idea why even people trying to speak positively about gen fic tend to talk about it like this. like they can only compliment gen fic or find worth in it when there’s an excuse for it to exist and reason for romance not to be there (plot heavy, blah blah, super canon adherent, blah blah, specific type of fic trope that tends to make the inclusion of ships weird or difficult, blah blah, the stuff people say when they’re trying to be nice about gen fic).

that’s not the point and gen fic is so much more than that and i’ll happily die on that hill.

(edited to add: by ‘gen fic’ this post is NOT referring to rating. it is referring to fic that is not about and does not prominently feature romance, regardless of rating.)

#gav gab #i know this is a stupid and pointless thing to get worked up about but #i need to stamp a big IM AROMANTIC AND I STILL HAVE JUST AS MANY FEELINGS AND DEEP CAPACITY FOR CONNECTION AS YOU DO #AND SO DO MY STORIES AND THE STORIES I CAN ENJOY #EVEN THOUGH THERES NO FUCKING SHIPS IN THEM #on my posts lmao #fuck it. pinned post. this IS my hill and i AM dying on it.

I appreciate the people who like my characters and stories. It's nice not feeling like I'm the only one who gives a shit about them sometimes. I know that I should make art for myself, and I do, but still. Sometimes I need to feel like someone out there actually cares.

#Things feel sad and pointless sometimes #and I do get that impulsive urge to just delete everything I've ever done off the face of the earth #But then I remember that some people might actually like this stuff #and maybe it's a little pathetic #but it helps

Why is clerith hated so much??

Both ships are canon 🫲😭🫱

Fighting over who cloud actually loved or loved more doesn’t make any sense! He loved both! This is how life goes sometimes! There isn’t just one person we fall for in our lives!

We should feel for cloud having lost the girl he once loved and cherished, and we should feel happy that he started to move forward and found love with Tifa.

This ongoing discourse baffles me! Like you’re both right?????? You’re both canon! There’s no evidence to the contrary!

#venting #sorry if I’m adding to shit no one cares to see #cloti & clerith #clerith #cloti #anti-anti-ships #I just don’t understand it? #it feels like the most pointless argument

[pessimisticprincess]

not to be absolutely pathetic but i wish i could curl up in someone’s lap and cry my eyes out for awhile and not feel ashamed of all the things i feel

#really really missing feeling safe #or at least the idea of what i thought was safe #i’m so sad today i wish there was some relief #i wish i could just not exist i am so pointless
