I’m glad that he’s finally getting some repercussions for his plagiarism and generally shit behavior, but I cannot help but be a tad bitter that people have been calling James Somerton out for plagiarizing for like, YEARS only to be dismissed and called “straight white girls” — which, beyond the misogyny involved in dismissing someone for being a woman, shouldn’t even be a matter of contention when there’s hard evidence that he stole from others.

Like. People were shooting the messenger for years without even LOOKING at the message. And all it took was someone to actually read the message aloud to have people actually listen.

Would love to sit a MK story writer down and ask what exactly makes Bi Han different then the Lin Kuei.

(And I don’t mean just in this new timeline)

I want to know why it feels like he’s always the one singled out as being “evil”. Not even Sektor gets bashed on this much and he forcefully converted his own men into robots (and maybe killed his dad but I don’t know if that was ever confirmed.)

Kuai Liang and Tomas had the same job as Bi Han but their treated like heroes. The only real lore difference is Kuai Liang actually got a chance to change his ways. Bi Han was damned to hell by a man who wanted to punish him for saving the realms.

Bi Han saved everyone, got 0 credit for it, and was killed before he ever got the chance to redeem himself.

He’s done more to save the realms then 99% of the caste.

I just don’t understand why NRS treats him like some kind of villain!!!! WHY?????

I think the worst part of scoring right now is not just the focus on difficult elements… but really the conflation of GOE and PCS that comes with just doing them.

This has been a problem for so many years in which the judging system does not allow a skater who is excellent at jumping to grow into their artistry at all. If we reward these skaters for lackluster performances just for doing crazy elements, then they have nowhere to go in the coming seasons. There’s no motivation to change what they’re doing because they are already getting the scores they need to win. Why would someone choose to work harder on their program component scores if they’re not guaranteed that doing so will help them. Especially when you’ve had jumpers who take the time to improve their artistry and ended up losing consistency with their jumps

It’s just ridiculous to me that in the state of scoring across devisions that GOE is only applied to how nice the element looks rather than to the actual rules. And that things like entries, exists, cheated takeoffs, and landings don’t really matter.

And if the judges continue to score this way, we will keep seeing (like we already have) a younger generation who chooses to focus on the harder elements rather than the entire program. There’s been so much evidence to the burnout you quickly get if you are young and throw your body away to focus on difficult elements (look at Eteri’s rapidly changing lineup), and a sport that focuses on what accomplishments can be achieved rather than on the skaters themselves is one that will not be able to sustain.

#it’s just FRUSTRATING #I want to see these skaters grow #because I want to see their scores reflect the rules #I want there to be MORE regulations on how the elements connect to each other #I want flutzes to be called out #I want cheated takeoffs to be regulated #I don’t hate any skater but it’s hard to genuinely enjoy watching someone when you know they don’t deserve the scores they get #figure skating

I think what OSA people in fandom don’t understand, is that homosexuals rarely see ourselves on screen.

We go into any show or movie, and we can be sure that there probably won’t be any homosexuals. If there is, they’re the butt of the joke, or they’re written for a straight audience to fetishise. If that’s not the case, there’s still the possibility that the homosexual character will be poorly written. Or that they’ll be killed off. Or that sure, they’re gay and alive, but they won’t be getting a romance plot while all the OSA characters get one.

I don’t think OSA people know how alienating that is. To be surrounded by romance plots that feel foreign to you, to be desperately seeking out gay stories just to get a taste of representation, but you can only find a couple in genres you like, so you watch them over and over again while OSA people have already watched 5 things in their chosen genre that have OSA people in it.

Things are thankfully getting better. We’re getting stories that revolve around gay people and same sex love.

But then OSA people in fandom insist on inserting OSA into these stories anyways. Because apparently the insane amount of OSA stories wasn’t enough��you want the little bit that we have, too.

And it is so frustrating to finally have characters who either show no signs of being interested in the opposite sex or actively reject the idea of being interested in the opposite sex…only to have OSA people insist that actually it would be super cool if these characters were OSA.

It feels so dismissive of homosexuals. To look at us rejoicing at seeing the absence of OSA (which is obviously a large part of the gay experience) being represented…and then saying “yeah but here’s why I think you’re wrong”.

It also tends to feel very homophobic, considering there’s almost always this underlying implication that exclusive same sex attraction is wrong in some way. Questions like “if your partner was the opposite sex, wouldn’t you still love them?” And “why would you limit yourself to just one sex?” That ultimately serve to guilt gay people into feeling as though our sexuality is somehow discriminatory or limiting. The whole idea of “my sexuality is you”, where there’s a moral value placed on a character loving another character regardless of their sex, which implies that bisexuality is the only moral sexuality. And so much more, where it all comes down to OSA holding unfavourable views towards homosexuality one way or another.

So it does get very annoying to constantly see OSA people refuse to accept that a character is gay. Because don’t you have enough? Can’t we just have a few characters that are like us?

But like I already said, I don’t think OSA people understand what it’s like to hardly ever see your sexuality represented. They’ve gotten so used to seeing OSA absolutely everywhere, that it’s shocking to see it’s absence. And they’re so used to being represented, that they can’t stand not being included for once.

So I just ask OSA people; instead of squeezing your way in and insisting that characters who show no signs of OSA or actively reject it must for some reason be OSA…just let the characters be gay. Let gay people see ourselves in a handful of characters without trying to take that away from us.

Ultimately people will have their headcanons, and that’s fine. I just wish more people would ask themselves why they feel such a strong desire to push OSA onto characters that don’t seem to experience it, and to insert OSA into stories that are unique in not including it.

one thing that pisses me off about the pacing of the show and this episode specifically, is that the main couples all make significant strides in their development, as do characters like ray and boston, and top has continuously proven himself to become a different, arguably better version of himself, while it seems like the narrative has stopped for mew when he found out that top cheated on him. there has been very little character growth, he’s still keeping top at arm’s length, well, a little less than that as of now but for the most part, the pieces aren’t really moving for him.

which is a shame, because mew was introduced to us as the focal point of the main characters and as someone who went through a genuinely interesting twist, but now that’s all there is to him. he’s the guy who got cheated on and is still pissed about it. he makes top jump through hoops for him and wants to mess him up, when top has shown that he cares for mew and for his well-being, for his family, that he genuinely loves him. mew is petty and calculating, but he is also in love with top. he’s said so himself this episode. why can’t the writing reflect that? it’s like top and mew are in two totally different points in their relationship and that would have worked maybe two episodes ago, but not with only two episodes left.

it’s annoying. topmew are such a good couple (and i do not understand anyone who thinks they don’t have any chemistry? forcebook have plenty of chemistry, but no one wants to admit that, lol) and their conflict was set up as super interesting, their characters playing against their predisposed archetypes is actually simple but insanely effective. but now, it feels like they are being forcefully halted for… some inane reason. as if they aren’t literally main characters. sure, yeah, topmew has the smallest audience but why does the writing of the show have to suffer for that? they deserve as much development as the rest of the characters and main relationships. it’s just sad to see the state of it as it is right now. we could’ve gotten away with this around episode 7; not episode 10.

#no harm no foul on forcebook they’re doing a very good job with this #it’s just frustrating #they could’ve done so much more with topmew ): #like even boeing hasn’t pushed the relationship forward but only kept mew stuck in his ways lol #kaz talks #only friends the series

It annoys me that yandere dev’s volunteers opted out now. Not when he was/is a literal shit to everyone. I know they are not to blame, but it seems like they only backed out because it would be awful for their reputation if they didn’t.

[this post is NOT about veganism. The concepts overlap but like. I’m talking about smth specific here. Do not derail]

So frustrating when invasive animals need to be killed to protect an endangered animal sometimes animal rights activists step in and are like “nooo don’t kill killing animals is bad :(“

Like, my dude, the endangered animal is gonna die if humans don’t step in. You’re just passively killing instead of actively killing.

Often, the reason the invasive animal is there is Because of humans. So instead put your money and energy into, i don’t know, climate change prevention or habitat restoration.

Or, focus on a topic which has a bigger ethical question like, “if the invading animal is doing so because it is endangered elsewhere, is it ok to let it invade? (e.g. corals and kelp forests)” Or, “what is a species? If we kill/interbreed a subspecies to protect the overall species, is that ok?”

I just wish people listened to scientists and research more 😭

How do people actually make pretty CAS parts?! Every time I attempt such a thing it’s just… bleh. Especially hair.

Maybe I should just rely on MD again for some Simblreen gifts I had in mind… but then I know I have a weird sense of fashion too, so… I guess objects it is.

Shaking you violently you don’t understand!!!! Mcr is not any worse than any of the good respectable rock bands of music history, mcr is literally one of them!!!! You’ve just let your view of them be shaped by misogyny and homophobia!!!! You are a victim of society!!!!!

#:( #it’s just frustrating #there’s literally no reason for mcr to be respected less than the other rock bands #other than the fact that they asserted themselves as the Gay Ones in the 2000s #welcome to 2023 why are we still not taking them seriously for that #sometimes opal says stuff

my favorite thing is when my little brother claims to be sick suddenly my parents go into panic mode and are all “oh well if you don’t wanna go to school that’s fine” and “aw you can go to the nurse if you need” but then whenever i get sick it’s “stop faking, you’re not staying home” even though i’ve been coughing up mouthfuls of phlegm for the last week and i feel like straight up ass and can’t even keep my eyes open

#and suddenly whenever i’m sick it’s “because i’m overtired” even though i go to bed the same time as my younger brother does #last time i was genuinely sick my mom got mad at me because i “spammed her to pick me up” #i texted her like….twice. once asking if i could go home and once again to ask if she was actually coming #the other time i got sick was in eighth grade and she punished me again for “not telling her why i was faking sickness” #i wasn’t faking. i had thrown up like…all over myself two hours later #yet the punishment didn’t even end like #okay #and then when it’s my brother it’s all “awww poor baby stay home if you want and go to the nurse and i promise i’ll come get you” #maybe i’m asking too much when i ask for that same treatment instead of the automatic assumption beibg that i’m faking #i don’t even have a history of faking illnesses #it’s such bullshit #i love my parents but god damn the favoritism is so blatantly obvious sometimes #my mother literally told me “if you’re not throwing up your stomach bleeding out or dying don’t expect me to pick you up” #like huh?? #it’s just frustrating #idk #skipper speaks #vent #tw sickness

There’s a part of me that wants to say fuck it and switch gears completely and go into politics but there’s the larger more sensible part of me that realizes that I won’t be able to make the changes I’d want to and everything would be an uphill battle.

#it’s just frustrating #I wrote to my reps calling for a ceasefire #and one gave me a bland pre written response that was I take every message seriously #and the other was a pre written one that was we must stand with Israel because they’re our ally!! #they’re usually on the right side of things but man is this frustrating

I fucking hate that my aunt leaves her door wide fucking open all the time I just spilled a drink on the hall to my room rt in front of hers cuz I got nervous and my hands started shaking rlly bad and she’s sitting on the bed facing the door so I just had to awkwardly wipe off the mess in front of her in silence now I feel like shit cuz it made the shaking even worse and I didn’t get to clean it properly so now I have to wait for her to close it so that I’m not constantly thinking abt how dirty the floor will b if I leave it like that

#rant post #doors just bring me sm anxiety for some reason esp walking past open ones #and it’s her door so I feel like it’d b bitchy to ask her to close it for my sake #it’s just frustrating #plus I just took a shower so now I feel like I’ve just contaminated my hands cuz I had to touch a dirty napkin ughhhh #anxiety is so fucking stupid this is such a dumb thing to b upset abt

I hate that all I have time now is writing like 200 words tops per day 🙃 that second chapter is coming together but god knows it’ll be ages till I’m done with it

#I can’t write at work bc like I’ve got enough tasks #and then when I’m home I’m so tired it’s hard to sit down and write for hours #so it’s all just weekends and evenings when I’ve got home office the next day #which there isn’t too many of those #it’s just frustrating #personal bs #at least my job isn’t too stressful I guess

god i really just wish that when i finally get the courage to talk to my parents about my struggles that they could at least actually listen and offer support instead of trying to make it into a good thing 🙃
