#it's all fucking interconnected.

[luesmainblog]

i’ve been thinking a lot lately about the recent events in my country, and to be frank, i feel i have a patriotic duty to get political for a moment. The United State of America is not a christian theocracy, nor should it be. The american constitution promises a right to Life, Liberty, the Pursuit of Happiness. we are promised Religious Freedom, and Freedom of Speech. all of these things are values I hold dear to my heart. i have been taught from childhood to believe in them, and to love them, and even now as an adult capable of thinking critically about what i have been taught, i still do. and with that comes an acceptance of different forms of life. i do not believe you can honestly call yourself a patriotic american in one breath, and then dictate that the laws should be changed because of what the bible says in the next. being able to force your own beliefs onto others is NOT a part of religious freedom; when you use the bible to defend your positions in how the law should be changed or upheld, you are explicitly denying your fellow americans their right to religious freedom. it does not matter how deeply you believe these things, it does not matter how immoral you consider it to not follow them, it does not matter how deeply you believe that these beliefs come from your god and not from yourself. you do not have the right to force others into your own beliefs. if you do not have a nonreligious argument for your stance, then you do not have an argument. I am religious myself. i have my beliefs, i have things i believe in deeply, and i’m fully aware of how they effect my views on morals, and politics, and how i feel the world ought to be. and yet, i don’t demand that the calenders be changed to include my holidays and practices. and yet, i don’t throw a fit when i’m wished good times for a holiday i don’t celebrate. and yet, i keep my religion out of the discussion when the time comes to speak of politics. and yet, i do not bring my beliefs into every conversation i have in the hopes that i might convert everyone around me. and yet, when atrocities are committed against things that others hold sacred, i am saddned, even though they hold no meaning to me. because i respect your constitutional right to believe in whatever gods you fucking want to, and live according to that. but if your god demands that you ignore that right, that you throw that respect to the wind, that you judge all around you for not adhereing to YOUR ways, then your god has no place in the laws of america. if you demand that transgender people be forced to live as what you want them to be because “that’s how god made them”, you are not a patriot. if you cheer when the government bans abortion because “the soul is created at conception”, you are not a patriot. if you allow the government to dictate what consenting adults do within their own bedrooms because “there’s only one godly way to do it”, you are not a patriot. if you refuse to accept your social responsibility to prevent the deaths of your fellow americans, you are not a patriot. if you are ITCHING to unload your guns onto your fellow americans because they’re liberals and queers and heretics, you are NOT a patriot. if you stand with the government figures who seek to deny us our rights because it aligns with your view of the bible, then you are not patriotic. you are a fucking traitor, and you will be the reason that america falls.

#rant #political #american politics #tw #abortion #homophobia #transphobia #long post #violence #i'm so fucking sick of these right-wing confederates dictating that THEIR way is the american way. #i get it. the right has had a stranglehold on the idea of patriotism for a long time now. #nationalism is built on that. #and having any pride in this country is pretty fucking hard when it continues to be this disgusting #and when it's very foundation is built on racism and opression and the genocide of natives. #but god damn y'all i am so SICK of letting THEM dictate what it means to be a Real American. #if we want to fix what america started as then we need to begin with what it is NOW. #and don't think for a SECOND that i am forgetting about everything we've already been angry about this whole time. #the murders of black children. the antisemetism. the oppression of all things queer. the islamophobia. #it's all fucking interconnected. #and right now i'm mad at the source more than anything else. #removing evangelical christianity from politics would not magically solve everything #but it would be a FUCKING improvement. #white supremecy would not have nearly the leg to stand on it has if it wasn't so deeply tied into people's religious beliefs.

another thing tumblr theorists (at least a certain collection of them) Get that i don’t remember any big youtube theorists ever really getting into (so far): The Existential Horror Of Being A Darkner

#deltarune #there are a fair amount of videos on what the darkners actually are but not really any on what it *means*. ya know? #there are a few like that about spamton but you rarely see that extended to ‘and this is the fate of all darkners. isn’t that fucked too?’ #kinda weird how little focus the darkners get from the wider fandom (other than those obvious standouts) #like even with me; my faves are kris and noelle (and the dess that lives in my head) and i think more about them than any darkners #but the darkner cast is just as well written as the lightner cast and deserves a matching amount of appreciation and analysis #especially because the themes being explored with both are clearly interconnected #(this post is really just me saying how good officialralsei and tvlandofficial are again. so be it.)

When you realize Beau and Yasha discussed adopting children after the events of Reunited so not only is Yasha waiting for Beau to come home but possibly so are their children waiting on their mom

#the whole Beau and Caleb being alone during their reconnaissance mission with the grim verity bugged me #because they should totally have contingency plans in case they went silent for too long and that’s what I’m hoping they did #because with the way the nein were so interconnected so cannot tell me even a decade after the campaign #they would not be constantly messaging every one and I’m hoping they did that because if not their fucked and I will kill them for it #also here’s hoping Yasha and Essek charge in pissed off as hell and ready to beat an old man for their partners #currently on c3 ep57 so if we know what happened to all the previous pcs I don’t know as of yet #yasha nydoorin #cr spoilers #critical role #beauregard lionett

loudly bitching about someone over the phone for 40 minutes straight at work while coworkers sideeye me. sorry. i have never shown this behavior before and itll be another two years before i do it again

#THERAPEUTIC. incredible things happening. #this person. me and this guy both love this person. but Oh my God. #he called to tell me abt something that kind of pissed him off last night and i started talking about a month and a half ago #why are we handholding this grown ass person thru fomo and massive control issues. well. it's not a dealbreaker but i might blow up one day #oscillating between 'yes i love them' and 'i've been pissed for a month and a half' #the horrors of having a interconnected friend group? it's really just two people i would really really hate to lose. others wouldn't be as #affected but those two. i love them. and AGAIN it's not a dealbreaker it's just kind of a buildup of behaviors. anyone remember my bitchy #post about the fomo/anxiety essay #also smaller things like Why are you trying to micromanage two disc servers that you dont have to lift a fucking finger in #um. my beloved irl if you see this. you didn't. i do love her to death. you know i do #the issue is if i put out all my issues they would take it really badly like they would act like it's the end of the fucking world #when i'm just like hey i am not your mother or your therapist and also stop trying to tell me what to fucking do #they would. um. lose it. #and some people are gonna get hit in the crossfire and i don't want to cause that. even tho it. wouldnt really be me.

I originally wrote after seeing a post joking about a very serious thing that happened to dan and phil back in 2012.

I wrote it because the post triggered some really upsetting memories for me. I had gone through that exact thing on a smaller scale and it ruined my life for a long time.

I was going to delete it because it seemed too far and too personal.

But, I think people should read it anyway.

imagine if you posted private thoughts & photos of yourself to a place where you are certain only you and maybe, at most, 20 or so people will see them-

its your only safe place...

now imagine if suddenly a lot more than 20 people find out who you are. like millions of people. and, despite your best efforts, they find what you thought was your most deeply hidden secrets.

oh shit...

your employers see them. your coworkers see them. your friends all know now. oh god your fucking family have now seen that. All of it sent to them by some of the many complete strangers that watch you online.

oh fuck nonono...

What do you even do? What do you even say? You have no idea who or how many have seen.

maybe everyone has.....

There is nothing you can do but try to minimize the damage being done. all by yourself.

its just impossible..

what feels like the entire planet is pointing, laughing, calling you slurs and telling you to kys

you seriously consider it for a moment...

you have to just go on silently pretending that nothing happened at all. Live. On. Camera. in front of the entire fuckin world

How the fuck would you feel?

#let those damn photos die please #sorry this isn't directed at any one specific #i feel like people just have zero understanding of how bad things got for dan here #like social media was far more interconnected than it is now #it took no time at all for everyone to collectively find out about all of this it was like watching a wildfire going out of control #this was a small part of a really heartbreaking series of unfortunate events around the time #dan has repeatedly stated how traumatic this time period was for him #please let these men finally have some peace and safety for once let certain things go into the abyss #just really wish people understood how it actually feels to be in this position #from personal experience #it fucking sucks it makes you feel so so bad about yourself and dirty and exposed it never leaves your mind #it was supposed to be safe.. #in reference to d+p

okay four episodes into flux and i am so fucking confused.

there are eighty seven characters and each of them has their own plotline to keep track of and i'm still hung up on fucking brendan.

if i ever meet chris chibnall i am going to pin him down and tattoo show don't tell onto his forehead so maybe then he will understand that the medium of tv exists for a reason and you don't need to spell out every visual clue.

please. for my sanity. if i have to hear another line like 'we're coming for you. me and your as of yet unborn child' i am going to spontaneously combust with fury. what the fuck.

i can tell there's a story being told here but i can't follow it, and we're spending so much time focusing on characters who are not the doctor when they don't appear to matter to the story.

every episode feels like a sidequest deterrent from the main plotline.

also, as much as i do think there's something in the plotline of the doctor getting lost in the rabbithole of figuring out her past, i don't love that they're framing it like it ruins everything she ever knew about herself? like oh, who is she without her memories–i dunno i thought we'd fucking resolved that already.

and i know it doesn't work as easy as that in real life but this is a tv show and so her having like eight heart to hearts about how she's the doctor now even if she doesn't know who she was and having the moment with the daleks just being thrown out the window so we can have this goddamn mess of exposition and cameos and confusion that is flux upsets me.

god.

as of yet unborn child? seriously? i don't know how much they paid that actor to say that, but it definitely wasn't enough.

#i want to like thirteen! #i do like thirteen! #i feel like yaz definitely doesn't get enough focus or characterization #mainly because we keep doing all this fucking SIDEWORK #but everything is just so big and complicated and interconnected ans plot focused and i don't like it! #there is not a single bit of goofiness in all this to cut thr constant deluge of exposition #and i'm sick of it #thirteenth doctor #doctor who #yasmin khan #the flux

I may be the meanest pettiest person on the whole entire planet (I am) but the concept of Catholic speed dating is the absolute worst thing I can think of and the whole "date while staying true to your values" vibe like. How do YOU know what my values are? I can't stand 99% of Catholics (and Christians broadly tbh. *Mr incredible voice: I'm not affiliated with you) and i would fistfight them in a heartbeat. The type of person drawn to the "marriage discernment" event is the exact type of person I want to AVOID at all costs.

Like yeah romance sounds nice and all, and I'm very good at just sitting here vaguely wishing for things, but I can barely form long term friendships with a significant intimate foundation. Even if I WERE to be in a relationship, the other party would almost certainly be non Catholic or be a bad Catholic like me and have to get cool with a lot of stuff real quick

#franposting #im rlly just whining and being mean sorry #this came up TWICE today. once with a coworker and once with a friend #and im like????? YOUR EXPERIENCES ARE NOT UNIVERSAL we are clearly leading v different lives #and also if ur relationship isnt built on friendship before becoming romantic im largely uninterested tbh #all of this is a moot point bc me??? marriage??? HAVING CHILDREN??? #absolutely the fuck not the most horrifying thing i cant think of is being pregnant tbh #spare uterus anyone. i do not need or want this one #anyway where my angry socialist catholics at. not even just for romance i want more friends ;-; #its like. how can u be queer and religious and socialist. and its like. idk how to explain to you that these things are all interconnected #and my commitment to goodness and praxis and justice is largely BECAUSE of my religious convictions #just bc my co-religionists give us a bad name. like #mr incrediblevoice. IM NOT AFFILIATED WITH YOU #anyway yeah any tgirls want a uterus i absolutely will not be using mine /is only half joking

[rosalinesurvived]

HOTD is actually the most insane agonising piece of shit created for the sheer amounts of freaky incest in it. You’ve got Targaryens obviously but Daemon has that weird thing for Viserys and then Rhaenyra falls for her uncle but also has a crush on the girl who becomes her stepmother and then names her son after the father she so deeply needed the validation from and then in the books Daemon was rumoured to have slept with Alicent who is his sister in law but also step mother in law, and t h e n you’ve got Baela, Rhaena, Luke and Jace becoming wedded and in laws, Daemon is the Black kids uncle and stepfather, Rhaenys Is the Black kids’ grandaunt, grand mother in law, and first cousin once removed, Laena is her brother’s mother in law and vice versa, and T H E N you have all the show stuff of the tension between Aemond and Alicent, Aemond and Aegon, Aemond and Helaena, you have Otto and Alicent, Otto saying that Alicent takes after his late wife and asking her to wear her dresses. Alicent is Viserys’ wife and mother in law to him and her kids etc etc etc. Jaehaerys and Jaecaera are cousins and twin siblings.

everyone be thankful for a functioning neck rn. it’s not until you get a trapped nerve or pull a muscle in the front of ur neck that u realise how many tiny movements you make 💀

#i somehow pulled the front part of my neck laying down and couldn’t swallow 🤩 #YIPEEE #i had to quit the kä live i thought i was having some kind of weird reaction #i think I’m ok now i can swallow #but i sure learnt quickly how interconnected everything is like the pain shot all the way up to my ear #it was that feeling where ur trying to hold back tears in ur throat that painful ache #mixed with the feeling of having a marble stuck in your throat #all because I fucking switched positions. #i need to move my muscles more during the day…. #personal

[wantbytaemin]

one thing i’ve been thinking about is how much taemin’s choreo style has changed (i don’t want to say dancing style bc i feel like that’s stayed pretty consistent) and how people who have kept an eye on him since after move will mostly see his more subtle choreos (which he’s kind of become known for now that i think about it) which is so funny because in my head he’s taemin-the-bone-breaker bc of the way he would literally look possessed from how hard he was doing old choreos. like imagine a pre-move taemin’s choreo for the rizzness. that little guy would dislocate his shoulders (danger choreo style) break his knees (drip drop and press your number) and fly off the stage (whichever quadruple fidget spinner style spin you want to choose. they’re plentiful)

#i mean i know it stems from him feeling like he’s shown everything he’s got to show in the more powerful more boy group-like style of dance #which is fair enough considering shinee are known for their insane extremely hard to follow choreos #(and 3hr concerts including those choreos lmao) #and then said oh i know a place.. and took us to the pits of hell (COMPLIMENT) with move and want but specifically move as his most subtle #choreo ever and then decided to just do whatever the fuck he feels like w advice and guilty and you can SO feel that #i love the amount of self expression in guilty specifically it feels soooo fucking raw and real i don’t even know if i could describe it #as a dancing style without getting into interpreting what it all means like the song and performance are so interconnected here that it’s #almost impossible to disentangle them

went for a walk by the river went to the bakery went to the library

#I feel like a ghost have I simply found a new place to be lonely? #I have this desire to be either totally alone or to be recognized warmly everywhere. I feel like I act awkwardly when it comes to #sharing physical space with strangers. how should I cross someone’s path to get by? how close is too close and not close enough? #I end up spending a lot of time on theoreticals. what if someone reacts in anger to my being in space? #just. a little full a little empty. is there love here or anywhere for me? surely I’m bad at seeking and finding it anyway. #thinking about all the social interactions I’ve fucked up. my inability to form or inhabit social circles. #my inability to be interconnected and maintain it. my inability to either be held or to hold. my blind ignorant heart. #I wish I could be the river #I want to have hope I want to belong I guess. my eggs are in this basket now I’ll give it at least a year #I financially don’t have a choice but to be here and I won’t think about that for now #lysposting

BUT THEN YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN TO SOMEONE WHY TRANSMASCS AND LESBIANS ARE PART OF THE SAME COMMUNITY AND THEY CAN'T COMPREHEND IT BECAUSE ITS LIKE HURRRR WHY WOULD YOU BE A LESBIAN IF YOU WANNA BE A MAN AND ITS LIKE ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID

#txt #ok this ones the one angry post ill make about it #i am personally not a lesbian myself. im bisexual/bigender #so if im saying anything wrong please let me know #but i find it really fucking frustrating when i see people finally talking about how we've all got an interconnected history and then they #hear that transmascs and lesbians tend to have an overlap and they cover their ears and scream and kick and throw up #NO!!!

had nothing to do at work so I drew out a graph of the relationships among my (and my friends') gw2 humans and like. what the hell is going on in there

#first of all why does everyone know each other in some way #and why is it just the humans that are so interconnected while my sylvari for example are just. completely seperate (for the most part) #and second. laughing at like majority of the relationships w val just being ??? fuck knows what's going on there everyone is in denial
