#outing yourself here fr

[greencarnation]

So you are very vocal on the war on palestine, which is commendable. However, condemning other people who dont to the same is non- sensical. Do you know how many humanitarian issues we have in this world at all times you have never spoken up for? Nobody expects people to rally for Sudan and people who stay quiet on topics such as this arent condemned. So, go forward with your activism but unless you speak out on all other humanitarian issues you have no ground to critizise people who dont partake in what YOU think is important.

context: this is an ofmd fan upset i called taika waititi & co zionists and said you shouldn't support them

this isn't a "humanitarian issue" it's a genocide backed by your government and payed for with your taxpayer dollars and 24,000 people have been killed. silence IS complicity. what twisted logic is "there are other crises going on so i will do nothing"? also yeah man i'm not an expert on every world issue but if someone told me hey the person/people you're supporting are profiting off the sudanese genocide i would stop fucking supporting them as the bare minimum what is WRONG with you

#also stupid fucking example bc i do and will continue to talk about sudan #all oppression and resistance is connected #freedom and decolonisation for all mf #also ur putting ur love for a show over the massacre of tens of thousands of civilians in what world isnt that disgusting #im not even an activist i just hold the radical and crazy opinion that apartheid occupation and genocide are bad #also wdym what *i* think is important do you walk around with your eyes shut #this affects everyone #and why tf do you not care about genocide bro like what is wrong with you #outing yourself here fr #palestine #gaza #israel #free palestine #our flag means death #ofmd #taika waititi #silence is complicity #free gaza

VERY long Ramble incoming

honestly now that I'm looking at the auraboa lore situation, I'm just disappointed. There was such POTENTIAL in the idea of the Loop and the horror of a new generation inexplicably being disconnected from it, forcing the newly hatched children into a world totally separate from that perceived by their parents (I mean, hell, they perceive TIME differently!).... but then the writer(s?) just fell ass backwards into Icky Tropes.

I feel like I can see what the idea was, especially with the recent alterations to the Encyclopedia entry... It seems like staff fundamentally understands the true Horror potential here, but... Instead, through the short story, they proposed it through the lens of a condescending outsider character, turning the fears of the older generation into something trivial. And also weirdly demeaning the Auroboa's situation by portraying them as overreacting.

Why... why would you do that? Like, from a storytelling perspective? What's gained from that? Why not embrace the true horror and even Emotional significance of that disruption? Why instead go for "ohh we NEED outsider help we NEED to be saved because we are so helpless and it is so Silly that we, creatures who have never experienced such things, do not know what sleep is"????

And if they WANTED to have a condescending outsider, I feel like they COULD have done that, but it would have to have that character realize the horror at some point. And make it obvious that their attitude towards distressed parents and children facing Eldritch Shit and the Sudden Deconstruction of it was not cool!

(or at the very least be a bit more...idk. Consistent with said outsider character? Juniper just goes from "omg I am so honored that the fascinating creatures of the behemoth have chosen me to speak to" to "oh their wasting my time because they don't know what sleep is. I'd rather be sleeping!! 🙄" like girl... c'mon now. Why are we trivializing it like this. Do you want me as the reader to be invested in their plight or not.)

I mean come on. They're beings connected through one networked hivemind-like system, yet each still maintains a silver of individuality that allows them to move freely throughout the Behemoth that they care for. And they've got an eldritch understanding of time that no other dragon could understand. They're seeing the future, past, and present unfold simultaneously. They're witnessing the birth and death of the world at the same time, and have no way to communicate it to other dragons. The best they can do is maintain their home, and even then, they see its roots spread and decay all at once.

And then the newest generation is suddenly disconnected. An inherent link between parent and child and all dragons in-between, that has existed since the creation of their species, is just suddenly GONE for the newest births. With NO explanation for it. The children have no easy way of communicating with their parents. The children are experiencing time in a way that was not meant for their species. They've forcefully been shoved into a circadian rhythm that they are Not! Built for!

The only way a parent could communicate properly with their child would be when the latter is sleeping, something that is also completely foreign to this species. It would be terrifying for all involved!!!

They are literally experiencing eldritch horror from the perspective of the eldritch being forced into the mortal.

Like why WOULDN'T there be panic!!! And why would that panic be trivialized! Why are we only shown the perspective of an outsider who looks at this situation and goes "Oh the silly tree beasts are being so silly over nothing, it's no big deal!"

That and the way the auraboas talk to outsiders. Like. There was such potential there. Real opportunity to explore how ancient, time-bending beings would communicate to someone who couldn't even BEGIN to understand the intricacies of it.

Instead we got what feels more like baby talk (even described as though they were hatchlings enunciating their first words, which... I dunno man, maybe we don't want to compare them to children like That) and less like... Beings that experience all of time at once. I mean, the hatchlings and the adults speak the exact same way, and that doesn't make any sense given the literal time barrier going on.

I totally get why people thought there was just a language barrier and that auraboas had their own language, thus causing the disjointed speak, and not that it was because They Do Not Experience Time Like We Do. And I feel it would've been far easier to get it across by just... I dunno. Do anything else?? I saw someone on here suggest they speak in the "wrong" tenses, or using multiple tenses in the same sentence, which I think would've been far more clear.

Like, as opposed to "saplings wilt! saplings silent!" just "the saplings will wilt in silence, they've wilted in silence, they are wilting silently." Said all at once like all things are true simultaneously. And if we're going for hivemind, have each auraboa speak in a different tense, all at the same time, and have them switch it up every time. Have our outsider get confused and be like "which is it? are they wilting now, or have they already wilted?" and the cluster of auraboas respond in a cacophony of yes's, no's, and maybe's all at once.

Would've probably gotten across the "alien" vibe they were supposedly going for far better than wide-eyed desperation for an outsider's guidance conveyed through disjointed, in-world described as baby speech.

And also maybe would've had less accidental connotations. Because as it stands, I completely see why people have made the connections to the real world where they have. This doesn't read like eldritch timey-wimey intrigue, or even a respectful look at how younger generations can become detached from their families' cultures over time and the struggles that come with it. It reads like a culture being perceived by an ignorant outsider who (despite supposedly respecting these dragons) scoffs and rolls their eyes because the tree beasts with their funny words are being silly again, and that Hey, isn't it actually a great thing that the children are fundamentally different in all manners now? Because now they can join the rest of us in the "real world."

Yknow. Ick.

(I Personally think it would've been better to have the perspective be one of the Auraboas themselves, especially one of the children, to really understand what was going on here. Give us the full brunt of the mind of a creature experiencing all of time interwoven as one shape. The waters fall and the oceans crash with waves. They've now fallen to drought. The ocean has yet to be born. Caves have been carved out through the waters' currents. And when I break from this timeline, I open my eyes to see a child, the child not yet born, the child born now, the child born yesterday. Why can't I hear it? Why couldn't I hear it? Why won't I ever hear it?)

I dunno. People more qualified than me to speak on this matter have already torn the lore apart, I'm just... dropping my own two cents. Potential got weirdly squandered and we ended up instead with unfortunate implications and tropes that could be connected a liiiittle too awkwardly to irl situations.

*Also, before anyone points out: Yes, I know the hatchlings aren't COMPLETELY detached from the Loop and can join it when they sleep. But the fact is, these thangs never had to sleep before. That wasn't in their species' nature. So that's still weird and foreign for them on both sides. And since the hatchlings now have a circadian rhythm, they can't stay connected to the loop permanently. And also Also, seeing as the previous generations aren't experiencing time linearly, who's to say they even recognize when their child joins the loop? They'll speak with an echo of their child when that child was last asleep ages ago, not knowing that it's not them presently, because there is no 'present' for the older generations.

#i also really really do not understand the ''word count'' explanation given by staff. #I'm honestly rather lenient with ignorance happenings like this so long as they're remedied but. #cutting out important details of lore Fundamental to the understanding of it? For? ''Word count''? #Like firstly. Surely someone on the team is skilled enough to pull that off right? To get all that needs to be said in a short story? #but secondly. w. why is there a word count limit to begin with. This is Your House. Why are you limiting yourself unless this is like #a paid-by-word situation and they don't have the money to afford something longer #but like it feels like shooting yourself in the foot if you're going to write something that leaves a ton of information vague instead of #properly explaining your lore so there's no unfortunate misunderstandings. But I dunno. I'm just rambling #flight rising #fr auraboa #I'll probably be incorporating my Own version of the lore regardless of what the staff decides to do with this presentation of it #or just ignoring it outright hskdgjhskjh we shall See #Also if anything I've said here is Wrong in some way or comes across ignorant in and of itself.

so one character got to learn how to live again, how to reenter society after traumatizing event that will forever impact his life, got to heal and rebuild his relationship with his family even estranged father, reconnected with his old friends and was able to create reliable support system of people that also grew throughout this healing process and now can understand him more and be there for him, got to graduate and start his own business and now can even give inspirational speeches to help others

and the other one had to leave two closest people to him that were his only support after his family death bc 'friends' he had before weren't type of people worth reconnecting with, move out of his country abandoning everything he knew his whole life just to * checks notes * start a job he didn't really want and the main reason he needed higher pay was to establish financial stability for one of two people who he had to leave and that no longer wanted to be with him

okay yea okay sure both cases are about personal 'growth'

#last twilight #to clarify it's more about time skip and the talk at the end of part 2 bc yea ofc mhok also changed throughout whole series in general #the fact that 'growth' for mhok was equal to getting a job just doesn't sit well with me #his sister killed herself bc of their financial problems and then they put sole responsibility on him for providing for himself and day #and it felt like it was about more than just day's disability #like ironically his mechanic friend offered more support and understanding than most of the other characters #what kind of 'growth' is uprooting yourself and leaving everyone behind when you are still in vulnerable state and need someone to rely on #it would make sense in other story with other character but here it just hurts #i do have some other problems with the series as a whole but nothing that wasn't said already #everyone is angry at part 4 but end of part 2 was the breaking point for me #moving out for work is extremely lonely and alienating experience especially when it's not even to a country you particularly care about #what is the lesson here with mhok's plot line? #to completely isolate yourself to heal from your trauma somehow without anyone close to you? #and oh yea job being the most important thing for 'personal growth' actually? #in hotel in hawaii nonetheless... #i'm getting so tired of these series not being able to stick the landing fr

I'm considering joining a communist party but I'm maybe too young and not sure if I have enough experience or awareness of the current state of my country. I've also only read 3 of Marx's works so far and I don't know if that's enough. On one hand the experience might help me get a better grasp on politics, but I could also just not be taken seriously and waste time instead. What do you think?

do it. there is no level of political education which is necessary to join a party. if they laugh you out for not having read anti-duhring or whatever that's not a communist party, that's a snobby book club. any party worth their salt will be happy to have helping hands and any communist worth anything will be happy to teach you whatever you don't think you know. hell, even if the party turns out to be a glorified book club--you will develop a better understanding of whatever texts you have read talking their ideas through with other communists.

in the worst-case scenario, it can be a learning experience--if the organization is ineffective or dangerous, you will be better able to spot red flags for those things in the future. in the best-case scenario you will go from reading a couple of books to actually helping make change happen in the world. join a party!

#ask #and realistically lets be honest here #a lot of people in communist parties havent read a word of marx #this can often be a bad thing but--genuinely #there is no minimum threshold of theory expertise #also you mention that you're young--be careful and be aware that just like in any space #any social organization or group #there are predatory people out there #keep yourself safe #but join a party fr

I learned very early on to ask as many questions as possible as early as possible because bosses do not engage with new employees equally

That gap in development and lack of investment will burn you out quickly

My advice, especially if you’re someone of color: if getting included & informed at work is like squeezing blood from a stone start looking for a new position immediately lol

#easier said than done but I wish someone told me this sooner and I wish I had the sense to trust what I was experiencing #and if you ever have the possibility of working for yourself PLEASE do its a mess out here fr

depressive misery can be familiar and comfortably uncomfortable i suppose, but i really don’t think it’s as simple as saying that someone wants to be miserable because it’s what they know. i don’t believe people want to feel bad. i think there’s a point where inertia is inevitable because the depressed brain is convinced that nothing can help. however, the antidote to this - the first glimmer of self-care that help to pull you out of a deep depression - is making very, very small steps. you may not be able to fold the laundry pile, but you can change the shirt you’ve worn for three days. if you can’t take a walk, sit by the open window for a few minutes. eat a slice of bread if it’s all you can tolerate. drink juice out of the container if cleaning a glass is too much. the trick is to relinquish shame. “i SHOULD be able to do this and that” isn’t going to help you, because clearly you can’t. it’s not a failing, it’s merely the reality of your situation and right now, what you can do is far more important. if you can’t be kind to yourself, or don’t like this sort of language, think of it as making allowances for the sake of your health; a sick person can only do but so much. it’s not going to be fun, and taking care of yourself is draining when you’re already ill. but again, little steps, until you find your momentum. it’ll get easier

#actuallybipolar #bipolar disorder #mental illness #depression #i am 1000% speaking from experience here #so no one accuse me of talking out of my ass lmao #fr though dragging yourself into doing things is EXHAUSTING but absolutely necessary #and i know how hard it is to work with shame #this is something i struggle with daily #but shame is paralyzing #shame will keep shoving your head below the surface #but keep going #and if you have little to no support feel free to reach out

i was thinking abt it and a lot of people are stupid as fuck because they either have the communication skills of a rock or they have the intellect of a fish or both. most of the time it’s the third option because wym you were upset bc no one checked on you because you made the decision to leave a server like beloved you didn’t tell anybody???? sorry that i have a life outside the internet ig 🫡 but also too many people take internet shit so serious like nobody is creating narratives about you- you are just paranoid and delusional and you need extensive therapy to work through that. i’m truly praying for y’all to heal 🙏🏾

#mal.txt #made this bc i was fr thinking abt past situations and man shit is never that serious bc i let myself lose a grip on reality for people #that have been out of touch for so long like it’s so annoying having to deal with people like that bc they legit think they are more #important than they actually are and will literally place so much value on themselves in someone else’s life and it’s so offensive to me bc #like you will never and have never been that important in my life ever and some people need to be made aware that we are specks of dust in #the grand scheme of things and making yourself feel important is just an illusion because nothing actually matters and humans do shit to try #and validate their existence so they feel like there is a reason for them being here #also i know this post is going to get sent to people but they really aren’t gonna clock me because they don’t speak up and will just curse #me in private but i really don’t care bc who gives a shit about some chronically online people that think themselves more important than #they actually are which is legitimately so insulting to me

Physically ill over the thought that if Wolfwood were to be reincarnated, it would be Vash's luck that he never finds him until he gives up looking completely and then seeing that familiar face in the crowd hits him like a truck

"I support Dacre not Billy" okay 🤨 and what do you think Dacre would say about that?

#fr tho you're out here looking goofy 💀 #Billy is like Dacre's beloved firstborn you're lying to yourself if you think he's okay with people hating Billy #like did Billy do some problematic shit? yes. Does Dacre recognize that? also yes #but he also loves and supports Billy and hypothetically wants to see him learn and grow and blossom #he doesn't believe Billy is bad or evil or has some kind of inherent issue that makes him unworthy of love or support #so #you know.. maybe you should evaluate yourself idk #billy hargrove defense squad #billy hargrove deserved better #billy hargrove antis dni

Congrats, Pepsitwist. Your coping mechanisms are the only way to survive in the wrestling fandom without devolving into a smark stereotype or a meathead hettie.

akldjfhg honestly yeah it feels like it is, at least for me. for the longest time i really did take everything so seriously and even when i first started this blog like a year ago i cared SO MUCH abt what ppl saw me post but nowadays im just like. idk. i just wanna enjoy this. wrestling makes me happy, and if wrestlers wanna be all pissy backstage, whatever dude. not my problem, im here for kayfabe. if ppl dont like what i post, they dont have to follow. if they cant overlook the posts of ppl they dont like then thats alright, it's not a fault of mine and it's not a fault of theirs, it's just preference.

there was that time right after brawl out that i was really torn on what to post or talk abt, bc obviously i really appreciate the guys involved. but it's just not worth it. it's all just become a big joke to me. i dont care anymore. i wanna have fun i wanna see my faves do cool wrestling and if other ppl dont like the stuff i like its? not a big deal. it's preference and thats totally chill

#my number one rule for enjoying wrestling is to not take ANYTHING too seriously. fr #trying to weave through this media like that is impossible and youll drive yourself nuts trying #focus on the stuff you enjoy and post what makes you happy. #and thats not to say you cant hate things. im a cm punk fan. cm punk fans love to hate things #i post abt ppl i dont like all the time. but i have fun doing it. #theres a different between focusing on things u hate in a funny way anf cosuing on them in a genuine way #if u can hate smthn and have fun w it without hurting anyone else? go for it #if youre getting genuinely upset and angry every time you post? maybe take a step back yknow? #i love plenty of ppl my mutuals ABSOLUTELY LOATHE. and thats fine!! #they ignore my fan posts i ignore their hate posts its Fine it literally doesnt matter #just take care of urselves out here. like what you like nothing else matters life is hard enough
