#it makes sense to me given what you said

[marshmallowprotection]

Okay hear me out; I know we've all agreed Suit's very alley cat-esque, but i have a proposition.

He's one of those really loud aggressive purse dogs.

Small dogs arent necessarily mean little demons by default. They act Like That because they're so small compared to everything around them and therefore everything is much scarier. A barking growling chihuahua or pomeranian isnt necessarily aggressive because its just mean, it's usually very scared and trying to look like a real threat so whatever they're afraid of leaves them alone.

Also realized you could definitely make a connection here about Rika being the purse dog owner who never really socializes the dog so it never has the chance to get accustomed to other people/animals and therefore continues its fear aggression but that feels like a post all on its own

You turned a meme into something poetic and here I am giving you this in return.

#ask #anon #mod kait #mystic messenger #rika kim #saeran choi #suit saeran #in my defense. i loved what you said. #it's definitely poetic. #it makes sense to me given what you said #...unfortunately it's in line with her choices at her lowest points of clinging to control

gg buddy am I right (ethubs doodle that I don't know what to do with)

#ethubs #Ive wanted to draw ethubs angst for so many days but art block is still hitting hard and this thing has been sitting around for awhile #hey ethubers how did you. survive #last life ethubs upsets me so much make it end #The way after Bdubs dies Etho is trying to justify to himself not having given him a life to begin with rather than #telling him to prove himself #its like he expects the others who are with him to comment on it but they dont. Etho's all "I couldn't have just given it to him you know.. #without them asking about it or anything. And Etho just keeps going. god damn it Etho I feel so bad for them #dont even get me started on what Bdubs said to G about Etho grrrr GRRRR I saw that for the first time not long ago GRRRRRR #I still wanna draw proper ethubs though. someday #also the damage to Bdubs' face is supposed to be from the rocket Lizzie shot #does it make sense? No probably not but its an excuse to make him look more dead #tubby art

I don't think that differently about Kaiser now

#maybe because I initially disliked him after all😭 I've come around to liking him as an antagonist more than anything #he's always been like this & I think my shock with this chapter was more about how I didn't want to assume the worst of him #but then it comes out and that's how he is so it's more of a “oh okay this is how you think”. Which yeah. Of course #I'm actually excited to see how the kaiser/isagi rivarly gets resolved. I'm concerned about how it will affect ness #I don't want him to get ignored by the story itself yknow? 😭😭😭 but he did get a flashback so i doubt it. still. #I want to admit that I kinda expected too much from Kaiser given how he acts now idek why #someone else said “what if Kaiser saw himself in Ness when they first met” but it makes sense that #he would never want to think abt himself as someone who needs help or is as isolated or easy to take advantage of as Ness (in his pov) #even though he was at some point (and arguably still is. some of those things) #so yea i do like that they have insanely twisted views of each other it's very interesting to me #<- i think saph-yells-into-the-void said something similar to that last tag #anyways...... your favorite guy disappointed u? couldnt be me💅 my favorite guys r would never do that to me💅💅💅 #<being insufferable is my favorite bit. sorry #bllk spoilers

Ough as the end draws near I’m seeing more and more comments that are making me nervous that the ending won’t live up to all the hype & expectations aaaa aa

#ask #for example #there’s a few notes I’ve forgotten about that we’re gonna be important but now make no sense in the story #so I’ve gotta figure out how to work them in #without it feeling forced #and at the same time #continuing with the idea I’ve been married to for a few weeks about what the ending is gonna be #but now I’m so nervous that people won’t like the ending #and I’ll have ruined this fic #sobs #ik most of you will hopefully enjoy it!! but even seeing a few be like ‘aw :( I hoped something else would happen’ is gonna be ROUGH #but honestly #thank you all for the amazing experience you’ve given me writing this #I never realized just how much I enjoy writing until I started writing this fic #and all the love has been so sos o life changing #so thank you all <3 #one person specifically said I was ‘stalling’ but like :( I’m drawing out the tension. if I do things too quickly it won’t have any umph. #I just haven’t been able to stop thinking abt that comment sigh #personal

So, I always found the 'soulmates always find each other and fall in love' trope kinda... lame?

Now, soulmates that always find each other because their souls are tied together but form a variety of relationsips? Soulmates that can be lovers, but also besties, and enemies, and mentor and student, and mother and daughter, and siblings, and... fuck, I don't know, someone needing a transplant and their donor? Now THAT'S my shit!

Ironically, I also find the second one to be a far more romantic idea than the 'always fall in love' one xD

#I don't know if it's me maybe falling somewhere in the grey area of the aro spectrum #or me being too neurodivergent to conform to or even really understand amatonormativity most times #but I've always said I'm not romantic in a socially expected way but I am romantic in my own idea of romance #and apparently my idea of romance is that something can actually be more romantic when it isn't always romantic #make of that what you will I have long given up on trying to make sense of it with words #shine posts #shine is random #meme #shitpost #soulmates #tropes

“don’t EVER use ceramics from before 1971, since they might contain lead in the glazes!”

listen

I check antique ceramics minutely for cracks, chips, glaze loss, crazing, pitting, etc. before ever using them, and only use them if everything is 100% intact

I check for telltale cloudy residue after washing them

I don’t put them in the fridge, dishwasher, or microwave

I don’t store food in them, or let anything acidic touch decorated areas of the dishes for long

I don’t use them as everyday pieces, much as I might long to. all my everyday china is modern and undecorated

I am an adult, almost 30 years old. I would never let a child eat or drink from antique dishware

I think, given the quantity of precautions I take, that I can be permitted to actually use tableware I also enjoy looking at every now and then. as a treat

#antiques #musings #now I think that given how tiresome a layperson might find it to check every single piece they buy like this #it may make sense to just say 'you know what? avoid it' #under the (correct) assumption that most of your audience won't follow a laundry list of rules #but. please let those of us who ARE willing to jump through hoops- and take an informed risk -for pretty china Live #that being said you will NEVER catch me using antique pewter dishware #there's informed but reduced risk and then there's Guarantee

I am once again thinking of how we never actually see the name that killed L, just his legal name in "Death Note: How to Read".

I'm thinking of Rem ripping out the pages in her death note she'd written on as she turns to dust, taking too the only written instance of name that killed the world's greatest detective, quite possibly as one last act of defiance against Light Yagami. Thinking of how if she hadn't, Light would have read the final name she'd written, kept inside him the knowledge that he's one of the only humans alive to keep the name that L felt was *his* at the day he died. Sure, he could've just attached hard to how he wanted to remember L, but it doesn't take away the fact that it feels as if he *doesn't* know L's name (because with all the focus he had on finding it out it doesn't erase the care he put into finding it)

I'm thinking of L, who's never really identified himself with a name. Not his legal name, given to him by his guardian, nor any of his number of aliases. He might as well have been L Lawliet just as much as he was the detective L, or Eraldo Coil, or Deneuve, or even his brief stint as Hideki Ryuga. He's been called so many names in his life, but doesn't identify with any of them. I'm thinking of the fact that Near and Mello clearly identify themselves as their legal names despite their similar use of aliases, the way that their legal names are explicitly the names needed to kill them. However, with L, we never see his legal name written down in the note nor do we get to see the name floating above his head. Unlike others from a similar background, we don't know the name that killed him, nor does he seem to identify with his legal name.

Of course, this brings up exactly what the name had killed him was, and if it simply was his legal name, why it wasn't just shown as with other characters. For someone who couldn't seem to form an attachment around any of the many names they've been called, I almost wonder if the name that killed him was something secret, played around with in his head, something only he (and someone with the eyes of course) would know.

#l lawliet #death note #A man can have so much trans subtext its unreal #By all means it would have made total sense for him to attach to his legal name‚ seeing that it was given to him by his longest living #guardian and was a substitute to him having none at all and yet #In some ways it almost brings into question how strained his relationship with Watari may have been‚ but also it reeks of subtext #Not identifying with your legal name or any name most people call you #That being said I am also uh lawlight trash so the monkeybrain also shoves all this thought aside and goes 'Okay but wouldn't it be funny #if the name that killed him was like Ryuzaki Yagami or some shit even though that probably doesn't make sense? The pain.' #Idk man I just think it says something that Light seems to never be allowed to know what name killed him‚ that it was never mentioned in #the source material (not even his legal)‚ and that other people from whammy's house in opposition to Light had their names needed to kill #them be their legal names/we get to see the names that killed them #I just be thinking #edit: I should also specify that some of this is canon interpretation while some is like shaping headcanon (for example it's not as if we #*see* Rem tear out any pages or anything but that's just me coming up with a reason as to why he wouldn't have just known L's name after #picking up her note and opening it for the first time)

Wish my parents would take the "not swearing at me and shouting about how they own the house I live in" challenge every time I push back mildly against them treating me like a literal child challenge.

#they're on the 'you can't lock your door' thing again #and once again using fire safety as a fig leaf for being mad about not being able to get into my room without me unlocking it #and I didn't even say no is the thing #I said that I didn't feel I had any other way of enforcing privacy as a boundary #and that I didn't think it was reasonable that I should be Disallowed from locking myself into a room on fire safety grounds #when they both do that all the time #so why is there one rule for them and one for me? #the answer you will be pleased to hear is #'do whatever you want then you selfish fucking bitch' #and 'I pay the rent!' #there is not rent #they own this house outright #and a second house which my sister lives in rent free #they don't give a shit about 'what if there is a fire?' #the problem is #'how dare you presume that you can lock part of my house away from me #and how dare you presume that you are a person with rights and not an extension of me I should be able to control at will?' #if fire safety is such a fucking risk then why can you lock yourself in a room to get away from 'the madness' but I'm not allowed? #also fwiw I never raised my voice or said anything harsher than 'I feel that I have no other way of having my privacy respected' #and 'I don't think that makes sense as a reason given that you lock yourself in rooms all the time and I don't see how that is different' #but anything other than unflinching obedience is verbal abuse time #like always #love that for me

"there's no basis or case to be made for will having powers" okay then genuinely please explain any of the following now after watching season four:

why does the upside down look like hawkins and is presumably stuck on the day will arrived despite the fact that vecna was there first and has been residing there this whole time? if vecna was capable of reshaping the world, as he's stated he wants to do, why hasn't he done it in his own world? why is he so intent on seeking out the person for whom time apparently stopped if it's all just coincidence? if will didn't do that and he doesn't have powers, then why didn't time progress or the setting change once the teenagers got there? why was time only influenced by will and will alone if he has no powers whatsoever?

how was will able to call joyce multiple times? the only person we've seen so far be able to do something similar is eleven when she would channel what she heard through the radio. electricity doesn't work in the upside down, so how did will do that? why did it cause a shock and ruin the phone, the same way that the radio went up in flames when eleven did it, if he doesn't have powers?

how did he manage to wake joyce up at one point? (it could've been her imagination, but the show made it pretty clear that joyce had been right about everything the entire time even though everyone thought she was crazy, and will was wearing the same outfit but he looked and sounded distressed + exhausted like he may have been while hiding in his upside down version of the house.)

how was will able to see his mother and guide her with the lights to the place he was hiding?

how was will able to see the letters she wrote on the wall?

how was will able to light up the lights that fast and sometimes simultaneously? especially with the lights that were on the ceiling? the way he communicated with joyce isn't totally similar to the way the teens communicated with the party in season four. he's too short to reach the ceiling and he doesn't have elasti-arms or super speed, so he couldn't have been touching that many lights that fast all by himself with his own hands. if anything, it's more similar to the training exercise brenner had the lab kids do, because they didn't need to touch the lights (obviously) to control them. so, how do you explain that if he has no powers?

how did he acquire true sight before his possession? the doctors thought it was ptsd and all in his head, but just like with joyce, we come to learn that will had been right the entire time. the mind flayer was real and it was coming for them all and eventually it did. how did he know that? how could he have had such knowledge before it ever melded minds and bodies with him? no other powerless human could do that, so how do you explain it?

if will is truly a powerless human being, why did vecna hunt him down? we know that vecna stalks his prey before he strikes. we know that "the monster" followed will from mike's house all the way to the shed where they vanished without a trace. we then saw it stalk will again and eventually possess him. will said that vecna wanted to kill everyone else, but not him. why? we know that vecna doesn't care about people. so what did will have that he wanted so bad? what was it about will that made him more valuable to vecna—a self-perceived god among useless, pitiful, and brutish men—alive than dead? what was it about will, a supposed powerless and normal human boy, that made vecna want to spare him and use him? if he wanted access to the lab, weapons, or tools that could bring down entire nations and rendered millions around the globe defenseless to his attack, then he wouldn't have picked a sweet twelve year old boy who lives a tiny little life in a tiny little town who just wants to hang with his friends and play games. unless... he was the key to achieving his plans? but according to this argument that will is just a normal boy, why is it then that vecna did all of that if will isn't capable of anything?

additionally, we know that gates are opened with a psychic connection. when the psychic connection was made in that shed, will entered the upside down. there, he was hunted for a week. why did the demogorgons kill and eat everyone else, but never will? why did they only carry him to the library aka the source of it all? why didn't they treat him roughly or eat him like they did all of the others? will didn't suffer any serious damage from the upside down, so he couldn't have been "dead" for long when his parents found him. why was it different with him? why did he get special treatment even in hell if he's just a boy?

why does will still sense the creatures of the upside down even after he's been exorcised? how is it that the psychic connection is still there? how is he still able to know what vecna is feeling, the kind of state that he's in, and what it is that he's planned? how does he have this connection still even though he shouldn't if he's Just Some Guy?

if will was just a normal, powerless boy... then why did a self-proclaimed god try so hard to recruit him more than once? why did it hunt only him? why did this god want to kill everyone but him? why did this god deem him more worthy and useful in life and at his side than in death? why did it seek him out and not eleven, a girl who actually has powers, powers that were once stronger than his own even and that he clearly wanted as we saw in s3? why is the upside down stuck on the day will went missing, despite it clearly being inhabited by other creatures that we assume to be more powerful than him? why is will going to be central to season five, the season where it will all come to a close and we'll be learning about the upside down and more, if... he's Just Some Guy that had to brave it for a week and that's it? why did season four (and the show overall, but said outright and explicitly here in 4x09) reiterate that it has always been vecna and that will has always been his victim/in his sights/connected to him? why did vecna choose will byers, who some of you claim to be Just Some Boy, of literally all people on planet fucking earth to achieve his plans?

vecna stalked will. he hunted him. and when his plans were foiled, he tried again. when he couldn't do it his way, he sought to kill eleven so that he could absorb her powers (s3). and now, they're back in each other's heads. the silver cat fed when blue met yellow in the west, but they're back now and we've been told that this is only the beginning. if will is just another powerless human, then what is the point of any of that? how do you explain everything that we've seen? how do you explain the choices these characters have made and continue to make? how do you explain away the connection that they keep drawing our eyes to? the connection that shocked the duffers and made them ask jamie if he'd seen the scripts when he brought it up (that it all goes back to will, how everything and everyone is connected to will)? the connection that they themselves are saying we'll see clearly in season five?

that isn't even scratching the surface of all the obvious instances where they make it clear that will is vecna's narrative foil, because that would make this already gargantuan post thirty miles longer.

they wouldn't have done everything that they've done over the span of multiple seasons now if it was just for nothing.

it doesn't make sense if will is just some normal kid and a random fluke in the master plan. the writers could've had vecna pick anyone. they could have made it so that will's connection was severed or lessened, but they didn't. they could've admitted that will was just a meaningless casualty, but they didn't because he wasn't. it wasn't a random animal that took will, he wasn't possessed for shits and giggles, and he doesn't continue to have that psychic connection for no reason. they don't tell us that nothing is a coincidence and they don't have the characters themselves remind us that they need will just for it to be... nothing.

will knows what's coming, what's happening, and the condition of the person who will do it all. why have him experience all of that, and even be able to in the first place, if he's... powerless? how do you even explain the connection in the first place? no other character, not even the ones cursed by vecna, are able to do what he's done. how is that not considered a power? and how do you write off the hours of content that you've witnessed as nothing?

clearly, at some point you have to realize that something is going on, no? like, you don't even have to take my (one-too-many) word(s) for it. jamie and the duffers themselves have been saying it over and over again. so... honestly, what's not clicking?

#like i just genuinely don't get it lol #vecna is a big bad and you think he hunted this tiny nerdy little twelve year old for shits n giggles? #you think the writers are making will a main point in their final season and are saying that we're going to learn so much more about #why the upside down is stuck on the day he went missing just to be like 'oh yeah jk it's nothing LOL' #you think that vecna jus went 'lol sure why not' and picked a child with no connections no powers no nothing just because?!?! #like literally WHAT #VECNA LITERALLY HATES HUMANS HE DOESNT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THEM SO WHY DID HE NOT WANT TO KILL WILL?!?!?! #why did he value will more than EVERYONE else!?!?!? IF HE'S JUST NORMAL?!?!?!?! #literally explain it to me genuinely bc i don't understand lol this is season five that we're headed into #i didn't think will had powers beyond his beast sense bc we weren't given any indication otherwise #but now that we know there was A Guy planning everything that it wasn't just random chance but A Person who is manipulative and cunning #and deceptive and ambitious and who is behind EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE SEEN SINCE THE VERY BEGINNING #and now that we know how the lights work and that that realm is stuck on the night will went missing and that gates are formed with psychic #connections and that will STILLLLLLLLL knows what he feels etc etc i just . I Just Don't Get It i don't get how you can think #there's nothing there? especially when the creators of the show are telling you he'll be a major focus? IN THEIR LAST SEASON?! #but no im sure its nothing. will did all those inexplicable things and the mastermind big bad chased him and wanted to spare him and use #him for shits and giggles or because the cuteness aggression was too much lol it means Nothing At All obviously #crazy together was in their auditions they Knew what they were going to do with will they're telling us that it MEANS something that the #upside down is STUCK on the day WILL went missing will spent all of season one trying desperately to go home he went to his house and his #castle to hide and joyce said that emotions can make time go really fast or really slow and one day vecna said Enough and stopped the cloc #k himself he created his own powers the duffers TOLD USSSS that it MEANS SOMETHING THAT THE UPSIDE IS STUCK ON THAT DAY #AND THAT WILL IS GOING TO BE A BIG FOCUS AND WE'LL BE GETTING ANSWERS AND THAT WILL AND VECNA HAVE HISTORY #WILL DID EVERYTHING RIGHT TO TRY AND ESCAPE BUT NOTHING WORKED AND THE FOUR VICTIMS IN S4 DID THE SAME THING #THAT WAS VECNA IN THE SHED WILL HAD A CONNECTION WITH HIM BEFORE HE WAS EVER POSSESSED WILL WAS STALKED THE SAME WAY THAT THE VICTIMS WERE #STALKED WILL IS ABLE TO DO THINGS THAT OTHER CHARACTERS CANNOT INCLUDING ELEVEN HE HAS EXPERIENCES THAT ARE ENTIRELY DISTINCT AND HE HAS #VERY SPECIFIC AND OBVIOUS PARALLELS TO VECNA BECAUSE HE IS THE LIGHT WIZARD TO HIS DARK WIZARD #WHAT IS NOT CLICKING !!!! am i missing something. do u think they would do all of that in EVERY SINGLE SEASON for it to mean nothing? #they're going to start and end the show with will but don't worry he's Just Some Guy? bro. duuuuude my GUY !!!! #mine

gonna take a minute to rant about just how much i love louis and his care for fans and how he's always trying to do things in the most affordable, convenient way possible. getting his tickets was one of the most smooth, seamless experiences i ever had. love how his first tour was a bit smaller and now that he's doing larger arenas, the pricing hasn't changed a bit. he's taken so much care and consideration into curating his brand and making it accessible and you can see the genuine thought process that goes into it because louis isn't just putting music and tours out and calling it a day. he's examining every little aspect of it and making sure that at the end of the day everything is as fair as possible. i know we can say it's the bare minimum, but to me at least it isn't. because it takes a lot of planning and organising to be able to pull this off, but it also takes a lot of investment time and money wise. and i honestly commend him for being one of the only artists in the industry who's not only to bring change but also who's putting a damn good fight and being a very good example of what an artist could be and how relaxing and beneficial an artist - fan relationship can be

#i will further rant in the tags #regarding pricing i don't think there was any ticket that went beyond £60 and that's a huge feat tbh #and even the ones that went that high were for bigger venues which makes sense #i am NOT comparing anything but just for example sake because this is the only one i have #harry's doing a 20k capacity venue and his ticket prices are £70-120 #and that's not including platinum or pods. with that it goes as high as £500 #and louis' doing a 20k venue for £35-60 #the fact that he's literally treating ticketmaster like a secondary option says a lot #gigs and tours seems very indie and on brand for louis' tickets and honestly it worked because it was literally so easy #and it didn't make you go through a thousand hoops for it #and because he didn't change his pricing much even when he went from venues with 3500 capacity to 20k+ capacity #you know that he's barely making any profit off of it #he might make a bit more than break even point #and his merch pricing given the quality seems very reasonable to me #there are artists out there selling tees for £100 #you can see he really LISTENS to the fans and sees what we're talking about it and tries to make it easy for us to access things #like i'm pretty sure he knew about ticketmasters bastard ways and that's why he said a big fuck you to them #man i just really really really love him #he has such an affectionate relationship with his fans #and he's willing to fight for us #like not in a mushy way #but we KNOW how many times he's been sabotaged and YET he comes in blazing #and do you know what though. in a way all the opening acts he's had or artists he's endorsed WILL follow the same path as him #we already saw otp fighting for fair ticket pricing #and that's what matters #a whole new wave of artists are gonna look at him and be like ''man i wanna be as fair as him'' and fight for change #in the horrid music industry and i'm here for it #fitf is gonna be an album that'll put louis further on the map and there's literally gonna be no stopping him after that #he'll literally be a revolutionary and i'm so glad i get to be in his corner to see it happen #i know parasocial relationship and whatever and i'm putting too many expectations/hopes/projections on him or whatever

I feel like I'd understand the time restriction complaints more if it wasn't coming from ppl who hyperfocus on one aspect of ST. Like if you truly believe a mlvn breakup is gonna take up the whole 10+ hours series finale to come to a resolution, then I really don't know what to tell you.

but i think people focusing on only one aspect might literally be why they think there'll never be enough time like of course if you're expecting fanfic level of introspection to be made explicit you're never gonna get it and i understand why people think some of the introspection should be made more explicit in the show i do. but like. yeah no it doesn't make sense it's not because of a lack of time that they're not doing whatever you would like them to be doing😭 look at how long season 4 is!!! and people still have problems with it because. choices were made (but like i agree with you lol it's just a little paradoxical)

#but the way people say this about vecna things so often...and the way that's why i was talking about this...it literally makes no sense at #all like this person was saying i would want them to make vecna better because i think the character is interesting and has the potential #to be even more interesting but they won't have time :( and like. wdym. he's The antagonist you don't think he's one of the characters #they're making time for? #and when people worry because season 5 is shorter it doesn't make sense to me because like if they got a season 4 this long i'm sure #netflix would've given them a long season 5 too the final season being longer makes more sense but they said it would be shorter because #they know what story they're gonna tell? and they know it's not gonna be as lengthy? #and that's a good thing i hate how long season 4 is as i said literally this morning. <3 #i know bigger cast and stuff like some of it will be disappointing im sure but the there cant possibly be enough time thing...there #definitely is? #ask

the past three or four media ive engaged with have all had posts made about them saying well the writers probably arent smart enough for ______ or the writers didnt do this on purpose but ______ or dont get your hopes up the writers wouldnt make these connections and i think thats enough!!! i have had enough bashing of well-meaning writers i have had enough of it from now on every writer is so so smart and everything they do is intentional and flawless and if i think a writing decision is stupid or the direction they went is bad no i dont and im gonna kiss each and every one of them on the mouth

#kipspeak #so what if its true!!!!!!!!! it comes across as twitter prefacing #where you have to be absolutely sure to cover all your bases in a thin sense of irony or acknowledgement of the flaws before admitting #that you like something or something stood out to you or you noticed something. so what if they didnt mean to!!! #unironically like things write something yourself play in the space change it go nuts #like this isnt to say to stop criticising things but for the love of pete! these are bad sentences! theyre mean! #and no one gets to reblog this just in case it leaves my circle of influence #I don’t know what I’d do if someone came in to this post with a thought-out argument about bnha or iron man or something #yes there are dumb writers. no that’s not important… don’t you see… they’re creating something! You can do that too! #you can!!! And you can make something amazing!! #also unless you’ve tried scriptwriting or longform writing I don’t wanna hear it #I know in the past I’ve said some of these things myself… but I’m tired. i prefer to play with the stuff I’m given anyways #I LOVE to analyze and reconfigure things. But I have to be in a specific mood/mindset/distance to do it #maybe That part is a me thing. but! That doesn’t change the point which is this is rude for no reason #i think nomura has never done anything wrong and every decision he’s ever made is a masterpiece of fiction now what. now what

you ever see posts that are like, "hey this place doesn't function like many other socials. content will only get shared around by reblogging it, so if you like something, keep that in mind! consider leaving feedback more often too! don't forget to appreciate artists!" and you're like yeees.

but then either that post, or the comments after, descend into, "you should be grateful for fandom creators! reblog everything you see! don't like! they put so much hard work into everything they make for free! you're a consumer and you owe them your attention! it's free! they do it for free!" and you're like noooo oo o.

#also I think. while there prob are some people used to twitter and tiktok who legitimately aren't familiar with the algorithm/lack of #I think people sometimes simply don't want to reblog something. it's not a misconception you can clear up for them #this is not hyperbole. I saw someone call people who engage with fandom creators' content consumers #unless you're talking about commissions/other paid work no we are not #I agree creators DO generally deserve more appreciation and not be treated like automatons who produce your fav thing #but now it's been phrased in a way that's a bit demanding so I'm not going to platform that #I'm sorry but if someone likes something. it means they liked it #and they engaged with it in a way that showed that they liked it #I vastly prefer feedback too! it's my favourite! I actually find it super hard to conceptualise likes despite what I just said lol #but it's something I gotta work on myself #venting makes you feel a bit better but let's not pretend trying to guilt trip people into engaging with you more is going to work #that will at most get you a short wave of pity reblogs. nobody wants that for their creations #idk the inflated sense of self-importance given to internet creators feels really strange to me #I don't get why fandom hobbyist is considered this great title worthy of inherent reverence now #I mean ''now'' isn't exactly true I know there's been BNFs for decades but. I mean just like #the act of Being an online creator for anything gets you treated as if you're some kind of neurotic captive animal

everytime. everytime i talk abt finding the whole immortality dilemma a lil funny/Personally trite bc i’ve very desperately wished i was immortal since i was like. 12 years old. i’ve gotten ppl trying to explain why immortality is narratively treated as a bad thing that has many downsides actually as if i haven’t heard the argument of “but you’ll outlive everyone you know🥺” before and just straight up don’t care that much abt it 😭

when i was watching iwtv this weekend w my cousin i brought it up bc obviously vampires r always talking abt the gift/curse of immortality n when i rolled my eyes n jokingly was like immortality rocks actually she very stiffly was like “you just say that bc you haven’t lost someone yet” and like yeah i guess that’s true but also i think you severely underestimate how much i fear my human mortality lol

#x #death stresses me out a Lot i’ve talked to my parents before abt how if it was possible i would be into being #cryogenically frozen or smth until ppl figured the whole lengthening lifespan thing out😭😭 #i was Extremely neurotic about it as a teen a lot of my intrusive thoughts involved me suddenly dying n that would make me freak out m just #start crying at the idea of it lol #the whole reason i started listening to podcasts was bc otherwise at the time when i was working in the evenings i would just let my mind d #drift* to the idea of death n i would get sooo agitated and upset abt it #i straight up often stayed awake for HOURS bc i couldn’t bring myself to fall asleep bc i was so scared of dying suddenly overnight like i’m #not kidding at all when i say i went insaneeee #everytime i thought abt death it’s always stressed me out. so i’ve Always said that id take immortality any day lol. #even tho my fear isn’t as Ever present n constantly bringing me to tears now i still stand by it sorry i know i know the conceptual issues w #becoming immortal and all but 🤷 death scares me more lol #if ur curious btw im not scared of death in an abstract sense i just Really don’t like that we don’t definitively know what happens after we #die and hate that. and the standard idea of when u die ur consciousness ceases to exist is upsetting to me lol i don’t like it at All #it’s why i sometimes wish i was able to be religious in some way bc i want the comfort of some kind of assurance of what happens after #but yeah. ANYWAYS. was just thinking abt this bc of the reminder of that convo w my cousin bc i saw iwtv on my dash #i AM the weakest link and would 100% ask to be turned into a vampire given the opportunity thank you very much
