#positive feelings towards that man

[uncanny-tranny]

Hey, if you have speech impediments, you are so amazing.

If you stutter or have a lisp or misspeak easily or you have a flat affect or a limited verbal vocabulary or if your voice is AAC or if you just have a difference in your vocality, you are so incredibly important and amazing.

Just know that your voice is yours. Nobody will ever be able to truly take it away. Your voice is part of you, and you deserve to make it as true to you as you deem fit. I hope you have the space to grow with your voice and whatever about it makes it unique.

#positivity #disability positivity #partially because so much of voical differences arise from disability #i've developed a really annoying lisp-ish issue #and it's hard to be positive about it because it makes me feel like i'll be treated as lesser because it's a 'childish' affect #but i literally can't help it unless i spend 110% of my focus on it. and i don't have that amount of energy #but it makes me think about others and especially those who have it more intensely than i do #and i just want to uplift everybody because vocal differences are neutral at worst #man my dad always tells a story about this coworker he had who had a stutter like you wouldn't believe... #...and he was fucking BRUTALIZED for it... 'c-c-c-c-CAN YOU GET TO THE POINT?!' is how people would talk to him... #...and obviously that made his stutter twice as fucking worse and i can't imagine the shame and humiliation that followed... #...i hope he learned that those assholes were a fucking waste of time and that he doesn't have to deal with that... #...like i'm sorry but there is no fucking need to be that sadistic toward somebody who is obviously already anxious and worried

Ppl going "waaahh unpopular opinion but Alice is kind of annoying and obnoxious and I don't think I'd like be her friend irl" is so funny to me bc like.

God forbid a cast of characters be multifaceted and have actual flaws and unpleasant aspects other than "grr angsty hero" and "whoops i'm so clumsy". Sometimes character dynamics and arcs need to be prioritized above "who would i personally be niceys with irl"

2. bro just WAIT until you hear about season 1 jon lol

#the magnus protocol #tmagp #season 1 jon was obnoxious and sometimes a straight up ASSHOLE and you were supposed to find him kinda grating!!! #yes alice IS a bit annoying and too much sometimes (esp in the first episodes) and i love that <3 #like. its p obvious that she uses the over the top-thing as a shield (to push ppl away/as a defense mechanism/to avoid being vulnerable) #we see her drop the act sometimes w ppl like teddy and sam who she actually feels comfortable around (and who know and understand her) #but like. she's stuck in a job she hates and is kind of afraid of (she KNOWS smth abt the horrors and is keeping her head down to survive) #(shes obviously afraid of sam going to far bc she KNOWS its dangerous) #so yes her act gets too much sometimes and yes sometimes she crosses the line into straight up mean (esp against gwen) #(but their dynamic is a whole other can of worms) #but like. i'm pretty sure its supposed to be seen that way. the audience isnt supposed to just find her kooky funny #the facade is supposed to be dismantled by the viewer etc etc #kind of like SEASON 1 JON the obnoxious bastard!!!!!!! #like. if you ever think alice is too mean towards gwen pls listen to s1 jon again and how he speaks abt martin?? #from a position as his boss no less? ngl i wanted to throttle him sometimes #you kinda forget abt it in the later seasons and if you only engage w fandom content. but like. go back and listen to the shit #he actually says. jesus christ man. i remember kinda hating him in the beginning #and to be clear i love jon! i think hes a great character! #and like. its almost as if his early season personality and facade was an important setup for his character development #and relationships with the other characters??? #but anyway 'alice is kind of annoying' is not an unpopular opinion its literally the FUCKING POINT #and both her and jon are my sweet baby angels <3 #alice dyer #jon sims #(and obviouslyyy you're still allowed to dislike a character ppl can have their own opinions etc etc etc. i just personally find it funny)

wait im sorry. ive never read past the first book of dotc and all my knowledge of it really just comes from your blogs. wh. why did the erins decide to include sexual violence in warriors? like. that seems a little. too much? like all im hearing of dotc is just. terrible shit. i like reading more angst/serious stuff (i wanna say darker but not in the way "dark media" usually means on this site) but this feels like WAYYY to much for a book series meant for kids....... what were they thinking??

I legitimately do not understand what people like about DOTC. You can go back to where I started this re-read, and you can visibly watch my charitability drain as the project goes on.

It feels like literally everything that people say they like about this arc is not there, while they've completely forgotten or misremembered SERIOUSLY awful shit

And now, listen. I'm a huge fan of xenofiction, which is a genre that is full of kid's and teen's media, but I do love more adult fiction. I love nuanced themes, dark subjects, and complicated plots.

DOTC's message is just plain odious. None of what it sets out to say is worth saying, and it's borderline incompetent at even saying it to begin with.

What they want to say with Clear Sky and Slash is that Clear Sky isn't "evil." He's a "fundamentally good person," and all of his intentions were good, so he learned a valuable lesson from all the abuse and murder. To say this, they CONTRAST him to Slash, a REAL evil person, who just loves hurting kids and harassing women. Clear Sky is good because he is not "real evil" like this fake, cartoon caricature we just made up.

There was absolutely zero need for them to write Slash the way they did. They really want you to be distressed for Clear Sky as his wife is assaulted in front of him and hauled off while kicking and screaming, and they decided the best way to do that was pregnant woman pinning face licking. Sexual violence is an easy way to disgust and anger an audience, simple as that.

As a kid you may not realize how messed up it is (though the asks I get on this blog are a testament to how many kids did, but didn't have the words to express their discomfort) but as an adult with your critical thinking on? It hits different.

#I do think there are books for kids which can handle these topics well #because the sad reality is... well. kids go through things they shouldn't have to #And it's *good* when they can find material for their age that addresses it in a respectful way #but wc is NOT that series. #These subjects are not handled tastefully or tactfully #and ive said it before and ill say it again #but what KILLS me about clear vs his two foil villains is that real abusers act like Clear. #They don't act like the other two. #Clear is SO real. Sometimes it feels like being ported right back into that position again #With a bunch of adults trying to force me to spend more time with that abuser #I know these excuses. I've heard them all. #And I've HEARD them make up some insane strawman to justify why the abuse done to me wasn't so bad #Much like what this story is doing with its two late-book villains #so it hits man. #Anyway stick around and we'll get to the scene. It's in this book towards the end

once again thinking thoughts about post-fall will being terrible and toxic to hannibal thanks to the posts on my dash but like. considering all the weird lines he won't cross that only make sense to him. yes he will run away and start bad fights and be petty and manipulative. but... idk. when i think of all the words to describe him, "rude" and "spiteful" and "harsh" all make appearances but "cruel" never does. there are ways to be mean that feel in character and ways that don't. for example he Would make hurtful comments that go too far, and he would do little things to reject hannibal and wound him on purpose. i Don't think one of those things would be cheating on him. he's always had kind of a way of being rude and hurtful while still dancing around anything that hannibal sees as true Ugliness or Offense. ethics = aesthetics, and let's not forget will's tendency toward righteousness - if it doesn't feel like a direct punishment, he ain't doin it! it'd make him feel like shit!! if you characterize post-fall will with no limits in what he'll do to spite hannibal i simply do not buy it!

#a man who experiences unhinged levels of spite and vindictiveness but ALSO holds protective instincts toward the same person. #hannibal's his stray #he's not going to put himself in a position to Be the thing hurting hannibal unless it's The Righteous Thing To Do #which it often is. but only in specific ways of hurting him #anyway brought to you by seeing cheating will content going 'hmm i disagree' and asking myself 'well Why do i disagree' #only feels in character on a surface level. will's not gonna be so blinded by rage that he stops being will #hannibal #meta #n.txt

people will go all "just be yourself and love yourself! :)" and then go "if you don't act the way i want, you gotta reprogram your entire way of thinking then reach into the very core of who you are and what makes you you, discard it, and replace it with this better, friendlier, more empathetic version that's coincidentally far more convenient for me to deal with than any other possible compromise we can make that you can do for me but doesn't stretch your mind to nothing but thin bands of what you'd consider 'You' :))))))"

#mine.txt #just thinking about all those 'think positively!' and 'romanticize your life!' posts #like on one hand i can see their merit cause self-hatred though instinctual is ultimately detrimental to your mental health #but on the other hand...some of them (a lot of them) are really just unashamedly asking other people to completely change themselves huh #all in the guise of ''positive thinking'' ''self-love'' and ''betterment'' no less #i suppose i shouldnt be surprised considering most people can barely grasp the concept of someone who Genuinely has muted emotions #as a natural state instead of a depressive symptom #not to mention the human quality of escalating things #so ofc tumblr which seems to currently be in its mental health recovery phase would naturally lean in so hard towards ''radical happiness'' #but man sometimes i really do just wanna shake the person from behind the screen and say #'no! dont you understand! this is just how i am! stop implying that everybody who doesnt feel joy at simply waking up is a miserable hag!' #sometimes they dont even imply it they just straight up say it 💀 #im honestly fine (as in idc) with seeing them but they remind me so much of those toxic positivity bitches that sell you random hoaxes #and tell you that youre ''ruining their vibes'' when youre not just beaming like the sun every waking second #well idc most of the time that is #sometimes they just trigger my szpd (and my dpd weirdly enough) #with the szpd obviously i dont like being told what to do and what to feel and having some rando assume things about me #but with the dpd its like #oh i must be doing something wrong ofc this stranger on the internet knows more about emotions and feelings than me #cause im a dumbass who doesnt Feel things therefore i must do what they say even to my own detriment #this mainly applies to those guilt-trippy ones so ive learned to steer clear of them #possibly even block the op

Sometimes I think about how my parents are fine with watching things with portrayals of drug users, smokers, and murderers in them (not trying to equate substance use to murder, to be clear); but the second a male character even sounds mildly effeminate, they shut off the TV??? Because it’s a bad influence??!!?!

Like, my dudes…. According to your religion all of those people are from the world; all of them are sinning, and “voluntary” sin is a symptom of hereditary sin. According to your belief system, certain people are predisposed to certain types of sin, including homosexuality. Theoretically, you should react to us as you would any other sinner; but you don’t. Why are we so offensive to you that you would rather watch some poor astronaut die screaming and hemorrhaging on a dinner table than view a queer-coded character for more than twenty seconds??

#oh and it doesn’t help that my dad is *convinced* one of the elders is secretly gay #and he doesn’t feel comfortable around him because he thinks he likes him???? #I mean ?????? #the man’s an ELDER #if he is gay he’s suppressing it to maintain his position #which is more dangerous to him than it is to you #and gay people are allowed to like people of the same sex platonically dad #gay people existing in your general vicinity doesn’t mean they’re trying to get you or whatever the fuck you think they’re trying to do #ok? #the few predatory ones you’ve met are not the norm #you have no idea how many LGBT people you’ve met in your life #I am “family“ (in all senses of the word) and you haven’t noticed me #what makes you think you can tell who’s gay and who’s straight when you’re not aware of your own daughter? #I’m obviously not predatory towards women #(but the second they find out I’m lesbian again they’ll start questioning all the interactions with women and children I’ve ever had #THEN I’ll be a wolf in sheep’s clothing and not just a Nice Girl who has platonic acquaintances) #exjw #homophobia tw #ex cult #should I tell them that half the characters in Alien(s) are either queer-coded or canonically LGBT?? #lmao

I can’t even imagine living without anxiety. Like. How. What?

#I mean if I woke up tomorrow with a normal amount of anxiety it would be a shocking difference to my daily life. and I am medicated!!! like. #what? am I missing something here? #my mom tells me that meds can only do so much and that they’re really just meant to make it so you can get out of bed every day #but now I’m wondering like is that true or is that my mom is on the wrong dose herself and something could be done to help us both #gahhhhh idk I just feel helpless bc I’m scared of making big changes and the big changes have to make are scary and large and I need a #bulleted list made of things I can do (and break down into very small steps) to actually progress in a positive way in my life instead of #being SO afraid and SO stagnant. it’s been six months since (ptsd diagnosis causing thing) and I don’t feel like I’ve made any progress even #with a therapist. I’m working towards a more intensive program but I feel like it’s almost making me feel more alienated bc I’d have to like #go be surrounded by other mentally ill people and medical people which brings dad dying trauma and like I know I’m running from it bc I’m #afraid to face the changes I need to make and the feelings that are going to come up but fuck man can’t I get some fucking meds that make #this easier to deal with!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! grief and ptsd and long term isolation and anxiety and chronic pain like fuck it’s #so exhausting!!!! I feel like I’m fucking fighting thru life and then from the outside it’s like I’m doing nothing cause I stay in my room #and get stoned and play animal crossing and watch tv and cry and over eat and sometimes I drive around in circles so I can scream sing until #my throat burns and I get a headache and everything finally quiets down in my head for a second. I know I look like I’m doing nothing and #that’s because I am doing nothing but waiting for the next time a mental health professional will talk to me for an hour like it’s so sad #anyways. you ever take a big dab and then start crying and type all of this like it’s an epiphany even tho it’s things you already know. #honestly crying in front of the air conditioner is so slay slight breeze over my face cooling the tears the white noise calming me down

∙ Basics ∙

Name: Hawu'li Puu Nickname(s): No one's really came up with anything (me included) Age: 23 Nameday: 17th Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon (17.8) Race: Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te Gender: Male Orientation: Gayyyy Profession: Warrior of Light / travelling healer

∙ Physical Aspects ∙

Hair: Lavender purple and pretty fluffy. The turquoise part of his bangs is dyed, and needs to be redone regularily. Eyes: Bright yellow Skin: White with pink undertone Tattoos/Scars: White, slightly curved "dots" next to his eyes, three on each side. No notable scars - he's very diligent in healing any big hurts after battle.

∙ Family ∙

Parents: - Mother, Hawu Puu. Matriarch of the Puu family. Alive and well, strictly leading her family back in Shroud. Hawu'li visits her, but rather rarely. - Never met his father, nor know anything about him. It's uncertain if he even knows he has a kid. Siblings: - 2 older brothers, Hawu'a and Hawu'to. Hawu'a lives back in Shroud and hunts for a living, while Hawu'to is a researcher in Old Sharlayan. - Grand total of 5 older and 2 younger sisters. Three of the older sisters left home after adulthood to start their own families, the rest of them live with their mother and help provide for the family. Grandparents: Mostly unknown. Hawu sometimes talked about her mother (Hawu'li's maternal grandmother), but she had passed away before Hawu'li was even born. Other: - Draevoux "Drae" Chevalier and Nana Chevalier, elezen couple who are both his (currently retired) co-wols and "roommates". - Varying lineup of partners. He's poly with multiple partners and I've yet to make a solid list of them all since they change all the time. Aymeric and G'raha are the two I mention most. Pets: Carby the Carbuncle. Hawu'li's uh, not that good with names. Carby is your avarage ruby carbuncle, but is around pretty much 24/7. Often refered to as Hawu'li's "emotional support carbuncle", since it's jobs include keeping him calm when he is left alone.

∙ Skills ∙

Abilities: Strong affinity with healing magic and the ability to hear the elementals, making him a formidable white mage. When situation calls for destruction rather than healing, he's also well versed in the art of summoning, and has been known to call upon demi-Bahamut when feeling truly desperate. Hobbies: Cooking, reading and singing. Also likes to mend stuff (patch holes, fix broken furniture) and read stories to kids (usually his sisters')

∙ Traits ∙

Most Positive Trait: Seemingly endless positivity. For someone who's job is to kill gods and see people get hurt on daily basis he's somehow still sure Things Will Be Better, and that deep down everyone has the potential to change for the better. Most Negative Trait: Separation anxiety. From some deepest parts of his soul comes a crippling fear of being left alone. At it's worst, he'll go into full blown panic attack in fifteen or so minutes after losing sight of others. At it's best (mostly after EW) he'll survive with only Carby as his company for almost half a day.

∙ Likes ∙

Colors: Purples, turquoise, most pastels and bright colors Smells: Freshly baked things, forest, lilies, apples baked with cinnamon Textures: Running fingers through silky hair. Wood, fur and silk. Rocks smoothed over by water. Drinks: Tea (any), milk, blackcurrant juice, mulled wine

∙ Other details ∙

Smokes: Nope Drinks: Only in company Drugs: Nuh-uh Mount Issuance: Koivu, his beloved lavender chocobo companion. Disinterested in almost everything, but happily follows any command given by his owner in exchange of some tasty treats. Been Arrested: Surprisingly, only once - in Ishgard, on suspicion of heresy along with Alphi and Tataru. (Drae took the msq spot of fighting for Tataru's freedom)

Seen this tag game around a lot lately, and I wanted in on the fun despite not being tagged. Took a lot longer to fill than I thought, so we'll see if I have the energy to fill this for other ocs too.

If you want to do it too, go for it! ♪(´▽｀) It takes a while, but is very fun to fill~

#yeah fun fact hawu'li does not have any nicknames purely because i can't think of any #his name is long enough for it to be a pain to fully write every time.... #but i don't like the idea of calling him hawu since that's his mother's name so it is what it is /shrug #“roommates” since their house is basically a 3 story mansion #i'm not sure who actually owns it since it was a gift from elder seedseer after becoming heroes. maybe co-ownership? #right now it's basically drae and nana's house since hawu'li is off doing wol stuff #positive and negative traits were hard picks haha #debated between postivity/love and naivety/anxiety for a long time #he's full of love towards pretty much the entire world #but also very gullible and easily hurt because he assumes everyone is nice and loving #also: his separation anxiety is like. half eleos' fault #poor man had such regrets upon dying alone that his shards feel the same panic #hey wanna hear something really horrible? #that means ardbert had that fear too #and that he had to exist all alone for like 100 years :) #purple catboy #idk what to call his little eye tattoos lol #flowers? drops? orbs??

I think the thing that really has curbed my fear of aging is being around older folk and feeling nothing but this... awe, and this sense of feeling so Inexperienced compared to them (and not because they're belittling or infantilizing me, but because they have so much life they have lived).

It really helped me to realize that when I am their age, there will be a fresh-faced adult who looks at me the way I look at my elders. It really assures me to know that there is a possibility I will be that immortal, too.

#positivity #pro aging #'anti-aging' is propaganda btw and aging is neutral at worst #yes i'm still thinking about the butch from earlier today #man. i feel so much affinity toward butches but it always feels weird to express

god i just realized fear and delight by the correspondents could fit donald's feelings towards duck SUPER well....[stands on a cliff overlooking the sea] man

GOODNESS GRACIOUS......?

#asks #swindlez #REPLACE THE ''COULD'' WITH ''REALLY'' #LISTEN. LISTEN HERE #THE **ENTIRE** SONG FITS HIM PERFECTLY. LITERALLY THE ENTIRE SONG ALL OF THE LYRICS FITS DONALD'S FEELINGS TOWARDS DUCK ACCURATELY #I'M JUST HIGHLIGHTING THE PARTS THAT MADE ME GASP #LIKE HIM GOING AFTER A DANGEROUS (YET SOMEHOW CAPTIVATING) MAN EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE OTHER FISHES IN THE SEA....? SHEEEEESH #THIS GUY. THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!! #also also some of the lyrics fits the way oliver keeps warning donald about pursuing duck.

i don't feel like people understand how insane my claudeblake obsession is, they have one interaction in game and we don't even 100% know that its actually victor...

#claude already doesnt have a lot of scenes #i mean... his name doesnt even show up in game #but!! its the implication of that interaction!!! #claude is betraying myers for victor #and victor is doing all this to save vincent the love of his life #why is claude helping victor do this? its shown he doesnt really hold much loyalty to myers its just a job to him #but he also doesnt have any big hatred towards myers like vincent does #so for what reason is he helping victor do all this? #he could be doing it for vanora to help her free herself from myers since he does seem to hold some affection for her #but they also arent really that close at least from vanora's perspective #so i would assume hes doing this for victor since so much of victor's happiness is staked on vincent #and just *gnashes teeth* that drives me up the wall <- positive #just the whole idea of claude this kinda disgruntled old man [hes like 50 but still] having sorta feelings for his assassin co worker #so he is willing to betray their boss for this co worker so he can save his husband #and just victor is victor is i assume he knows about claude's feelings but what is this compared to all the other sins he is committing #for vincent #and if you actually read all that i comend you this game has permently altered my brain #klepto talks to himself

i just think it's so sexy of me to not give a shit about this year's world cup 💅

#excitement? man i feel no positive emotions towards it whatsoever #not even talking about all the problematique shit but just in general #let's just cancel it and rewatch some cool matches from the previous years instead

so i've been thinking about this a lot the past few days of playing xvi, and i suppose i would be classed canon-divergent / headcanon-based if i went along with it, but at the moment i'm feeling: i don't think i'll default to clive having romantic feelings for jill in any verse. when i get to completing my theme and / or carrd should i make one, i'll update this accordingly and such. i won't go into too much detail at the risk of spoiling things, but i'll just say everything i've experienced so far feels quite out of place and almost like a detriment to jill's character, which is a bit upsetting given how much potential she has as a character after all she's been through. my feelings could be swayed later on, but from what i've heard, it's not very likely to change. this doesn't mean i will never ship with a jill writer; only, like with any other muse, it will require chemistry between the muses and the writing.

#❛ OOC ( endwalker ) #tbd // #i understand a good number of people don't 'default to romantic' anyhow but #i don't want to get caught off guard dhgs; #i don't mean to upset anybody should they enjoy the pair #but i have a lot of feelings right now and not many of them are positive #i have even gone so far as to say clive is giving me repressed gay man LOL #to be clear i'd probably headcanon him gray/pan #he loves jill certainly but i'm not sure i'm on board with the way the game is steering it #i could maybe touch upon him considering that what he feels might be romantic / #in a similar sense to how i wrote noctis' feelings towards luna #but i feel that it does both of them justice to just. recreate the beginning of what could be an intimate bond #should they have one
