#it just fucking grinds my gears

[ramshackledtrickster]

Wow another adult animated show headed by people who don’t know jack shit about the medium and then calls animation inferior and throws their artists under the bus and calls the audience stupid for watching animated media and thinking the only thing worthwhile about adult animation is making it gross and shocking and going “this isn’t like your Saturday morning cartoons haha you fucking idiot” while actually good animated shows with some level of maturity and respect for their audience gets axed left and right

Disappointed but not surprised in the slightest

#looking at you Velma HBOMax #I couldn’t even finish the first episode it’s just so unfunny and poorly written #saw that gag abt adult animation floating around and it really grinds my gears so I made this post yeah #also I went into the show expecting a dark satire but it didn’t even deliver on the good satire part 90% of it is just #‘isn’t this trope stupid’ and doing it #there are deeper issues I have with this show but the animation angle is easier to post about I think #also woke up to the news of Dead End Paranormal Park getting axed #and thinking back to how Hbo max did Infinity Train #it’s just rubbing lemon juice and pouring salt over a wound y know #also can we get people who respect animation to head animated projects instead of this trend please… #same thing happened with Housebroken where the writers kept demanding last minute changes because they don’t understand that #you can’t ‘reshoot’ scenes in animation like you would live action #just treat your artists with some fucking respect it’s not that hard

I was told by someone that I couldn’t call myself a transsexual because I had to go off T for health reasons and I haven’t had any gender affirming surgeries yet since I’m poor and disabled. Is this true? What are like, the requirements to be a transsexual? /gen

The requirements to be transsexual: to identify as transsexual

This might seem too... straightforward, but genuinely, medical transition is so complex and individual that it's worthless to make it so ridged. There are so many reasons you have to stop some aspect(s) of transition, even if you didn't want to! That doesn't mean you never transitioned or that it's "lesser" now that you stopped.

Genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, I, for one, couldn't care less if you call yourself a transsexual. To my mind, it is as political as it is an identity. Being a transsexual isn't just about your identity but also your place in this world. "Transsexual menace" isn't just a cutesy little slogan but a political battle cry. It can be an attitude about changing sex, about the lucid and plastic nature of people, and so much more.

The word transsexual was made and popularized, honestly, with the idea that we are separate from others. I think we can take this back and make it ours. We can start by actually making it our own, not the cis world's own.

#ask #anon #trans #transsexual #transsexual FAQs #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #it seems extra shitty to me when somebody goes 'oh you can't transition in the ways you might want to for outside reasons? fuck you anyway! #like how awful do you have to be to see that a trans person is in multiple positions of marginalization... #...and make it about how YOU feel about THEIR labels? #maybe that's an uncharitable read on my end but. i just hate when you have justify your OWN damn identity. #like this isn't debate club and if you are bothered by it then that genuinely is not their problem? #(sorry for ranting anon. this is just something that alwaysssss grinds my gears and isn't directed at you but them) #inuded the bit about 'transsexual menace' because people forget that transness can be just as political as it is an identity #it is the scathing reminded that we are here and we're *going* to fucking stay no matter what. we live in the bones of society #we live in the corners you think are empty. we are the reminder that humanity is sacred and divine... #...and to forget this means we will remind you. we are *going* to fucking stay on this earth with or without approval or understanding #THAT is why i think it isn't solely an identity. my political stance is transsexual. my blade is my manhood. #basically transsexualism is: i'm not afraid to keep on living; i'm not afraid to walk this world alone.

DO SONAMY PLEASE (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

No!

Sorry but I'm not interested in romantic ships so I won't do any pairing. Especially with Sonic himself, he is just so aroace to me.

In fact, Vagabond Sonic IS aroace and will never be in a relationship. The only romance in my comic will be the romance of adventure!

#hhwAsk #Anonymous #stvh #not to be a hater but sonamy grinds my fucking gears #but even if i didn't think he was aroace - Sometimes feelings just aren't requited!!! and that is ok!! #i don't mean this in any ill will btw #i just have general frustration

man I sure do hope people who say that trans people don't have to present hyper-binary or be passable are normal about masc/butch trans people, including trans women who don't want surgeries or hrt or use she/her pronouns. Man I sure do hope they don't just mean femme trans men and exclude trans women and nonbinary masculine people. Man I sure do hope that they aren't super fucking weird about masculinity, especially when performed by trans women.

#Just. #A lot of people are rlly saying the quiet part out loud when they make posts standing out for transfemme afabs #Lifting up their femininity and right to their expression #Then make posts about ew gross masculinity I hate mascs men eeww #And are dead silent about trans women #They hype up trans men that don't want hrt or surgery #But the only rare discussion they have about trans women is femme trans women #It's almost as if they just hate masculinity and want to preserve femininity #Idk it just rlly grinds all my gears #It's like. Almost TERF-lite #Like they're allies of the most vanilla order #Just hate it when they say they support genderfuckers #But then there's a butch person who uses pronouns other than she/her and still identifies with womanhood to some capacity #Or a trans woman who doesn't want to present femme in any capacity but still identifies as a woman #Then they get fucking confused #it's fine #transphobia #queerphobia #homophobia #trans issues #transphobes #butch #masculine #masculinity #Transmisogyny #I would consider this transmisogyny #Bc denying women's right to express themselves however the fuck they want is a form of misogyny

my roommate . will not stop bringing their fucking partner over . even though i have covid. so i am standing at the fridge trying to decide what will be the least repulsive thing to eat for dinner and then the two of them come in and roommate does not say hello hi whats up or anything just makes a wordless beeline for the fridge, which i am standing at, and i have to jump out of the way like a matador being charged by a vegan bull that is trying to reach their quinoa so i take my water bottle and move to return to my room (mask on btw. havent left my room without a mask on) and narrowly dodge the boyfriend who avoids my gaze like i am the fucking birdbox creature but still for some reason decides to stand in the thin-ass hallway that i have to go down to access my little quarantine chamber but honestly it is no different to how he reacts to seeing me even when i do not have a viral illness and by the way why are you even coming over to our apartment when someone has covid why do you only ever come over to our apartment can you PLEASE Go to your own apartment. and now that i am in here i can hear them sifting through the pots in the sink and complaining that theyre tired of people not putting their dishes in the dishwasher (if you are tired of no one putting their dishes in the dishwasher you should put your dishes in the dishwasher normally this is my duty (not one we've decided by the way just one that ive taken on because i like to do dishes. genuinely) but i havent been doing the dishes because, you guessed it, i have covid) takes a deep breath. and i still dont have any dinner.

#i swear to god im just gonna do the fucking dishes #and now theyre texting the groupchat like ''i took care of the utensils'' okay cool. can you wash your pans and your bowls too #there is a ridiculous amount of shit in the sink and my other two roommates say its not theirs #and i actually believe them #i do not believe this roommate #im sorry i am going to try and not become a roommate vent blog or anything but it really is just. grinding my gears #none of the dishes are mine btw because i have been eating straight out of tupperware for 4 days

I think it's really telling that the only ships I actively dislike and express disdain for in atla are 2 of the 3 canon ships

And sukka isn't one of them.

#obviously I dont like the proships because ew #but k@taang and ma!ko just grind my fucking gears #and before anyone says its because I'm a zutara shipper #zutaras my favorite ship but I'm a multishipper first #atla #avatar the last airbender #anti-maiko #anti-kataang

"#but why her big toe nail fucked up and crunchy"

what was the reason for saying this it's so unnecessary who cares if her toe is "fucked up and crunchy" that's none of your business. and it isn't even a "bad" toe nail sorry this is pissing me off so fucking much

#anyways im blocking this person because this shit grinds my gears literally shut the fuck up #like i wonder if you even have the courage to post ur face on ur blog to have to courage to say stupid petty #shit like this.... #im just annoyed because ppl do this shit to me and ppl don't understand how something that seems small can ruin how u see yourself #and whats even more annoying is the toe nail is fine???? saying this isnt even funny or anything just announced and unwarranted #*annoying

pov: marauders fans when you call them out on their thinly veiled misogyny (grow the fuck up maybe) , hidden quite terribly behind the continued fetishisation of mlm relationships (which is also fucking weird seek therapy maybe)

#“i just prefer jegulus” #“wolfstar just has a more interesting storyline” #go outside and touch some fucking grass #pricks #just admit ur a misogynist freak and move on #gosh you really grind my gears #feeling mighty peeved off #the marauders #marauders fanfiction #wolfstar #jegulus #marauders girls

Not to be crass but I think if DC actually goes through with James Gunn’s stupid ass “use the movie actors in DC games and shows instead of voice actors” idea then literally every single living voice actor who has ever voiced any DC character in anything ever should be legally allowed to take turns beating his ass into the ground.

#i am so fucking sick of voice actors not getting the respect they deserve jesus christ #it has been proven NUMEROUS times that screen actors recording lines for games or animation almost always sound fucking terrible #like 99.9999999999% of the time they just phone it in there are VERY few exceptions #also the fact this was announced less than 3 months after kevin conroy's death. THAT grinds my fucking gears like no tomorrow #shut up tristan

correct me if I'm wrong but I was just thinking about the roykeeley in season two of it all, and that fight where Keeley loses it at Roy for being clingy because she can't handle how close they are now that they work in the same building but like,,, Keeley and Roy would have been working in the same building while dating for a good chunk of season one as well.

She started working at Nelson Road before Jamie was even sent back to Manchester. They would of had months working in the same building, so either Roy has always been that clingy and Keeley just didn't mind at first, which I found doubtful given that it only takes her like a week to blow up at him for it in season two, or Roy being clingy is an out of character thing for him to be doing that should've raised some kind of red flag to friends and loved ones that I feel like from what we know about Keeley as a character would've been treated with more empathy than she actually had in the show.

#i'm going off of memory so this might not be anything #but wasn't one of her complaints that he sat quietly in her office reading when they were on break? #girl how is that being clingy and not just regular levels of wanting to spend time with your partner? #I stand by that Roy wasn't in the wrong for that #I actually stand by Roy not being in the wrong for MOST of his relationship with Keeley #I don't even think he was wrong for breaking up with her #I will not ever view breaking off a relationship you aren't happy in as selfish #and I don't care how much the show tries to make me view him as selfish for it or like he threw something good away #no he didn't #just because Keeley was hurt by being broken up with (understandable reaction) does not mean Roy did the wrong thing by breaking up with he #he looked at the way their relationship was going and saw that he wouldn't be happy if he stayed so he left #and the show tried to frame that as a bad thing #“maybe i should've just stuck around and enjoyed it” #no sir that's not how these things work #staying in a failing relationship just because you don't want to be alone isn't healthy you did the right thing #your career and your love life aren't metaphors for each other #and let me be clear Roy and Keeley were 100% a failing relationship right from the start of season 2 with the fight that inspired this post #keeley's feelings about the breakup aren't more valid then Roy's just because she's the hurt party #and they clearly broke up amicably if Keeley is willing to sit down and tell Phoebe about it with him #she wasn't jilted or wronged in any way and the show framing it like that grinds my fucking gears

this happened a While ago but this comment on a fic i wrote just. bounces around my skull sometimes. they questioned how could two men have kids together and i just. you really gotta ask that? like theres so many fucking ways that could work

maybe the kids are from previous marriages. maybe they're adopted. surrogacy exists. one could be trans. depending on setting, magic or sci-fi stuff could be the explanation. good old mpreg even if you're not a fucking coward. pick your poison.

#the reason why or how the kids were even there wasnt fucking relevant like dawg.... 💀 #it was a small character study it didnt have to be that deep #suspend your disbelief for 5 seconds #they didnt even say anything else about it just questioning what accounted for maybe 1 whole sentence of the story #never seen anyone else questioned for gay parents having kids why did it have to happen to me 😭 #grinds my fucking gears every time i remember #actually now that i think about it. i dont think ive posted anything since that incident. 🙃 #thanks for listening to my ted scream

i'll be the first to say i love how stereotypically straight women talk to other women. its sweet, its endearing. its insta bestie vibes. its just trying to create a light mood. i see no problem with it and its another instance of people just mocking how women interact with one another.

#like yeah this girl just stawwwwp to me when i complimented her its ENDEARING and fun let these women live #*said #i could talk about this more actually bc like #the way people act like its ??bad? or fake #god when people think women are fake if they talk and use these social mannerisms #grinds my gears #its not fake yall are just pessimistic fucks who cant handle people being friendly 😭

I'm glad you're happy but "the personalities of every character popped". My good person on the internet TAKAO HIYAMA DID NOT GET A FUCKING PERSONALITY. Blatant fucking lies. "I loved that they each had different back stories" OH MAN IF ONLY THEY ALL DID.

💥 kills. Myself.

#sorry. 2 :45 am. #this is grinding my gears. my guil.ty gea.rs. if you will. #IF YOU WANNA MAKE STATEMENTS LIKE 'EVERY CHARACTER-' 'grips you. it better be every fuckin charscter.' #but of course i will let out my anger onto my own post then. forget about this soon. #sigh. praise it. sure. but damn it better be fucking true. #personal rant #<- adding this jic.

“i don’t have to tolerate [x thing that is actually harmless/group of fans who like x harmless thing] in this fandom just because it’s fiction”

i mean. you do, actually. you do have to tolerate us, just like we suck it up and accept that you aren’t going anywhere either. that’s the fandom experience in a nutshell.

#this isn’t even just about mdzs to be honest #this is a panfandom trend that baffles the fuck out of me #my salty takes aside i am not actually causing anyone any harm and i’m not preventing you from curating your own experience and having fun #the shitty takes both grind my gears AND provide me with an infinite source of entertainment #and good prompts for writing text-based mdzs analysis #idk i embrace the inevitability of conflict and petty shit disturbing in fandom spaces not because i pick arguments arbitrarily #(except for when i do) #but becsuse come the fuck on this shit is ubiquitous to being a human with an opinion on the internet #get down off the cross someone else needs the fire wood
