#ok. rant over this time.

[babygirlbdubs]

i hate!!! labels!!!!! i hate society's need to put every bit of the human experience into arbitrary, meaningless little boxes!!! i hate taking beautifully unique experiences and shoving them into categories that will never truly fit them!!! i hate taking people's identities and comforts and using them to invalidate their personhood and experiences!!! every single human being is impossibly unique and there will never be a single other person exactly like them and that's beautiful!!! why!!! do we have to break everything down and put it into boxes that are never perfectly the right shape!!!! we are all unique and that makes us all the same!!! let people express their personhood and define their experiences in ways that are unique to them!!!

#spooky.thoughts #i'm sORRY I GOT HEATED AND JUST. AUGH. #this is NOT about individuals finding comfort in labels and shared experiences #this is about society's reliance on labels to define every single fucking thing about people's lives!!! #why do i owe it to anyone else to fit into a label??? #why do i owe it to anyone else to give them a label to try and define me with??? #and stop!!!! using labels!!! as a way to tell people they don't fit in to that label!!!!! #it makes me so!!!! hhhhrrghghghgh #okay. okay. okay. i'm fine. #i don't understand why we as humans have to try and categorize absolutely every little thing that shapes us as individuals #stop it. we're individuals for a reason. #and if we could just accept that every human experience is unique then i think we would all accept each other a lot easier!!!! #there is no us vs them if we are all just!!!! the same in our individuality!!!! #THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE IS VAST AND INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND YOU CANNOT DEFINE IT IN FORCED BOXES AND LABELS AND UNIVERSAL CONSTANTS #part of this is because i had to read about formalism in art history and it made me angry #part of it is bc i saw the post like. 2 rbs ago. one or 2. the one about friendships/qprs #i just can't tAKE IT ANYMORE #ok. rant over this time. #this time for sure.

I've been seeing a lot of posts lately talking about how no one comments/reblogs/replies/etc anymore, and, as someone who comments regularly on a lot of fanworks, it sometimes makes me wonder if my efforts are worth anything. Then I remember how much happiness I get from comments on my own work/posts and how much the community of fandom can matter, and I remember the power that can be found in spreading joy instead of disappointment.

So -- to everyone who comments on fanfiction: thank you. You make the writing process worthwhile and so very rewarding. You make people happy every day.

To all the people who reblog art and gifsets and meta and anything else with enthusiastic tags: thank you. You make people smile and promote interesting conversations and make being on Tumblr so much more fun.

To anyone who sends people asks about their works, whether it's unprompted or part of an ask game: thank you. You give people reasons to talk about things they love and feel like a part of a community.

To the people who makes reclists: thank you. You give us more to read while showing the author how much their work is loved and appreciated, benefitting so many people.

To everyone who organizes events and groups and blogs and dedicated to fandom: thank you. You build community and love and excitement so effectively and it's wonderful.

To all the authors and artists who respond to comments and build community: thank you. You make people smile with your work and then again with your response.

To everyone who contributes to fandom and community in all the other beautiful, varied ways that I can't even begin to list: thank you. You are why we're here.

And, finally, to every writer, visual artist, gifmaker, cosplayer, maker of edits, writer of meta, or creator of art in any other form: thank you. Your work is wonderful and you make fandom what it is, regardless of who sees your art or how much response you recieve.

Keep going, everyone. You are a part of something beautiful.

#wren talks #fandom #writing #fanfiction #ao3 #tumblr #writerblr #i get tired of seeing posts like 'things used to be so much better and no one comments anymore' #or 'no one reblogs things on this site these days' #it's such an oversimplification #like. of course people reblog! i reblog!! i am people! so are my mutuals and they also reblog! #LESS interaction doesn't mean NO interaction and saying it does erases the efforts of people who do interact #also this can vary SO much depending on your fandom and ship and how long you've been around and so many other factors #like the commenting culture in the silm fandom is incredibly different from that in the witcher fandom #star trek is closer to witcher but there're a few major differenes #can't speak for other fandoms but i'm sure there are other significant differences #and they also change over time #anyway all this to say that i think encouraging people works way better than complaining #and at its core fandom is an exchange of love #that should be based in positivity #but this got long whoops #hopefully it's vaguely coherent #ok tag rant over now lol

[jacarandaaaas]

hot take (or not idk)

People who complain about the encanto fandom being “dead” are annoying. Encanto isn’t a huge fandom anymore but it’s still active and by forcing the narrative of “nobody likes this movie anymore it’s forgotten” is just dead wrong. Encanto being forgotten sounds hilarious because everytime ppl mention modern disney it always pops up in conversations like ALWAYS. We need to stop thinking that just because not as many ppl are interested because it’s been 2 years now means that nobody cares. Also the people saying this primarily ignore the fanarts, hcs, fics etc! People are talking about it but you’re too busy complaining to notice it!

#encanto #encanto disney #disneys encanto #like it should be obvious it’s not as popular because of lack of new content need or basically anything and the fact it’s been 2 years now #ppl argue other disney movie fandoms but let’s remember most of them have had content #anyways ppl need to stop complaining because of u keep acting like that nobody is gonna want to talk about encanto #it’s still popular it’s just not as huge because time has moved on #also someone mentioned this before but some fan content is actually great! #ok rant over does anyone else have any thoughts because I think a discussion would be interesting?

genuinely i think if i have to see taylor swift’s name one more time i’m going to start breaking things.

#i liked her casually as a kid #and i still like a lot of her music now #but i can barely even fucking listen to it anymore bc she is EVERYWHERE #like literally i don’t care about her and i don’t care about travis whoever #and i don’t even care about her in a negative way like i don’t care if she’s selfish and narcissistic and a performative activist #and her jet emissions or whatever #bc literally 90% of celebrities are like that she’s not special #i am just so tired. of people ALWAYS talking about her #and being expected to have an opinion and be up to date with whatever meaningless drama is going on #genuinely no hate to my friends that like taylor bc i don’t mind that #it is more just like. Everywhere #i cant even go on tiktok without seeing her name 300 times i cant DO THISSS #ok. rant over. 😭

whenever i see someone who is like "yes but [x] isnt as oppressed as [y]!!" or "[x] is widely accepted now!!" as a way to like. disregard queer people's experiences. i'm just like. have you been outside? have you been in the real world?

#im just. #infighting is so dumb #'you're tme so you can't talk about-' first of all. we're not tme. transmasc =/= tme. honestly tme is a dumbass label anyway and has just #become a 'progressive' way to ask for agab #what do you think a boy/masc person in a dress reads as to transphobes. you think theyre gonna apologize if i say #'actually im transmasc not transfemme' #thats not how that works- #every time we try to correct our pronouns we get stopped because it's 'inappropriate' and 'uncomfortable' #same with every time we try to explain our gender #and yet there are still people online trying to judge if a complete stranger is 'queer enough' to count #(and if they're 'not' the reaction is like. death threats for some reason??) #and im always like. GO OUTSIDE. PLEASE. #the queerphobe on the bus does not ask for your labels before calling you slurs. the bully harassing you will not stop and apologize if you #try to say 'i'm not [x] actually im [y]' #they do not care. they are full of hate and they have already decided on a target. #also? you have no right to a stranger's labels and life experiences #trying to demand that is already creepy. especially since your goal is to see if they're worthy of respect #ok rant over i think. just. ahhghh

I've seen complaints about how Marry My Husband is being adapted into a live action drama, but personally I like the changes, they keep me on my toes.

I mean, the fact that they changed the year it takes place in is reasonable, but what actually threw me off was that they had the same ages they would've had in that year. Buuuut the aging up gives way for other sideplots, like the pregnancy scare plot which would've been relevant at their age as it was more of an expectation in their thirties than in their twenties.

I loved how Kang Jiwon looked with the perm and long hair, but thematically, a hair cut makes so much more sense as a "closing cycles" type of thing.

And having Kang Jiwon straight out tell Sumin "hey, I no longer like you" also makes sense to me. Sure, she had her 20-step-revenge-plan, but even with her visit to prison in the end, I feel like she didn't get the closure (pleasure?) of standing up for herself at the moment stuff was happening.

Also the moment Jiwon sets up for Sumin and Minhwan to sleep together is soo good. In every version. But I think that so far, live action is my favorite. Park Ming-young did a good job with the "I made this bed of nails, I have no choice but to lie on it now" vibe.

#marry my husband #ranting #this is all over the place sorry lol #also the bts thing just had me cackling like out of all things bts revealed that they were both from the past #tbh if i had been asked in 2013 what came my mind with dynamite i would've said taio cruz' song bc i was obssesed with the just dance coreo #eunho's response just had me like ok fair #kang jiwon #ALSO LOVED THAT THEY DID THE NOVEL REVEAL INSTEAD OF THE WEBTOON FOR JIHYUK AND HUIYEONS RELATIONSHIP #not that there was anything baaaad with the webtoon. i just loved how dramatic huiyeon's phone call was #also i haven't finished reading the novel. i'm saving up to buy coins lol #getting into korean webnovels is expeeeeensive #next time i'll stick with animanga ah

girls when they remember that wilfred owen was killed in action A WEEK before the armistice was signed

#look. it's a dead gay world war poet it goes with the theme of this blog. #wilfred owen #oscar rambles #i was rereading wild with all regrets which is the alternate version of a terre #he wrote it a little less than a year before he died and dedicated it to sassoon. #and i can't stop obsessing over the fact that the final lines #the ones about the soldier dying and his friend grieving him #almost feel like a premonition. he is going to die and his friend is going to grieve him. i feel insane #been on the verge of tears about this all day #also person who sent me an ask two days ago if you see this i have NOT forgotten about it #i just unfortunately have a long rant so i'm waiting for the time to type it all out rip #oh just cause someone mentioned in the tags this is ok to reblog #we are all sad about the gay ww1 poet sometimes it's okat #also omg i had completely forgotten that wo was also in a magnus statement

A bit ago Richas asked Philza to help him go on a mission to Egg Island to find Cellbit.

Richas and Pomme are the only eggs missing.

Cellbit and Baghera are the only islanders officially missing (as seen on posters in spawn just before the prison event).

DO YOU SEE THE VISION?

I am once again pissed at diet culture. I just watched three tiktoks in a row. how to cook dairyfree. How to meal prep without carbs. How to make healthy snacks without sugar. I keep getting (and stupidly clicking on) those articles that are like "ten things you shouldn't eat if you want to lose weight" and "why xy foods are bad for you" and wouldn't you know it last week i got recommendated articles that said those specific foods were super healthy and great for weight loss and now i should "never eat" them?? Is there any food we're still allowed to eat without being made to feel guilty?

#Fuck diet culture #And fuck my curiosity for always clicking on those articles and making the algorithm think i like them #I'm so pissed at this #Good thing spite is what got me over the worst of my ed #Spite shall make me enjoy all foods again! #Also funny how people who make their money sharing recipes also want to make me believe i should not be eating any food because it's all ba #Sounds a bit counter productive doesn't it #Because guess what #There sure was a time when i kept searching for low carb few calories no sugar recipes #And then i saw that it was over 100 calories and decided that was too much #Promoting the 'bad food' thing will eventually make people hate any food including your recipe #Ok rant over for now #Riya rambles #ignore my rambling #Tw ed
