#raised by addicts

[my-castles-crumbling]

Things that don't make me cry:

My mother saying completely horrible and abusive things

Homophobic comments directed towards me

Deaths in movies

The collective 8 divorces my parents have achieved

The deaths of all of my grandparents

Being practically disowned by half my family

Things that do make me cry:

The death of gay wizards from the 70's

When my cat yawns and stretches

nina zenik did not say “she was the queen of mourning, and in its depths, she would never drown.” for this fandom to write her off as the funny friend who loves food constantly

#she has an addiction to the deadliest drug in the world #she lost her soulmate at 17 years old #she was raised to be a soldier #she was kidnapped by a hate group #stop ignoring her complexity please #nina zenik #six of crows #soc #crooked kingdom #ck #grishaverse #gv #matthias helvar #helnik

Sure sure, ooc-ness is natural and normal in fandom, as it is ignoring canon elements that you disagree with or plainly dislike.

But you are aware that that wildly inaccurate interpretation and despiction of your favorite character, with little to no basis on the canon material, that ends in creating a version of said character that only lives inside your head, means you don't actually like that character at all? Surely you realize that?

#gonna start listing characters that I've seen this happen to #tim drake #jason todd #shen jiu #sakura haruno #I've seen it happen the most to those four #of course there are many more #but those four are at the top of my head #peter parker #yes yes him too believe it or not #I'm not talking about aus btw or what ifs scenarios that would change a character's entire personality #like if they were raised by someone else or some traumatic event didn't happen of in a modern au #which if course would mean their entire personalities or most of it would be different #I'm talking about character analysis #about tsundere shen jiu. about coffe addict bitter asshole genius tim drake #about stupid bad boy jason todd #dick Grayson #how could I forget #incompetent bimbo mommy Dick Grayson #and sadly #feminist Sakura Haruno #ik ik. i like fanon sakura a lot. meaning I don't like canon sakura #it happens #etc etc #if the character you like isn't actually AT ALL like the real one then let me tell you. that isn't your fav. that isn't your blorbo #that isn't your baby your meow meow. that is merely a template for your OC #mip #svsss #naruto #dc

Obi-Wan identifies as a bimbo and Cody identifies as a video gay-mer I don’t make the rules it’s just the truth.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #clone wars #commander cody #codywan #Cody has logged over 600 hours on animal crossing #Obi wan wants to write smutty poetry and make spaceship toys #if you ask either of them to do math harder than adding they’ll both argue about it for an hour and both be wrong #Obi wan has tiddies and they get him many useless items from his sugar parents #but most of those items end up fueling Cody’s caff and cozy game addictions #Obi wan just wants to wear a pretty sundress in a field of flowers and write poetry and raise kids #his sugar parents would like to stare at his ass while he does this

#Janeway says 'haha can't start my morning off without a cup of coffee~!!' #and Tuvok says he doesn't understand why humans seem to be so nonchalant - almost PROUD about how they're addicted to their little caffeine #substances. And then - crucially - he takes a long sip of his tea #and they stare each other down in silence for five unbroken minutes #Is Tuvok actually a vegan??? Who knows <3 #st voyager #Kathryn Janeway #Tuvok #st voyager art #comix #Tuvok raises his eyebrow and the slide whistle noise plays #I want to stress this is not anti vegan....this is Tuvok being a dick HEHEHEHEH for NOOO reason.

Whenever I die, someone please sign in to my social media and argue with all the fake bitches posting about how much they miss me and how wonderful I was because we all know 9/10 people posting that shit thought I was a dick. (10/10 if it's my family)

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality

#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh #like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good #but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees #the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support #and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well #like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people #maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a #whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously #women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women #or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak #like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years #but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people #i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse #drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so* #and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles #+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries #and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation #isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote #*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now #and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad #but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing #and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this. #love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol

DFF & the Contemporary Issue of Trends

Last time I came onto this tag I was grasping at the last droplet of hope I had for the ending to be good.

I decided to tell you all about the great seen of Tee's confrontation with Non's dead body.

Before that I tried to guess who White might be in the story and what was happening with Phee and how and why Tan was New.

And along the way I made polls and memes and I joined this fandom in appreciating what seemed to be another great story by BOC.

We've all dedicated so much time and care and love and talent and skill to contribute to this community, to make something great around something we were growing to love...

But now we're all left neck deep in the mud, as another series with great potential bites the dust in a terrible manner.

And I'm here as the ominous oracle of the death and peril yet to come, in good Greek Tragedy fashion, to tell you this was not the 1st time we've witnessed this and it shall not be the last. And all bc contemporary media have taken 1 thing to their heart and 1 thing only: engagement.

So let's take a step back.

What fuels people? What sticks with them?

How many times a day do you remember you love your loved ones in a week? Perhaps not many. But how many times do you remember the guy the big car crash you witnessed on your way home the week it happened? A lot, probably.

Why? Bc it's new, it's shocking and it probably fuels you with either fear or frustration.

The same can be said about contemporary trends. They're new, shocking and probably fuel a negative emotion in you. So they get talked about A LOT. All at once.

This is the reason why media is becoming what it is. It's realized all st once, tried to rush through plots and plots to be relevant all the while. Makes twists and twists and twists. And has something controversial to it. Bc this will make people talk. And talk will get more people to consume.

Until of course, the next more appalling thing happens and everyone moves on.

God, this is even true in the news. I mean... How many times do you hear about good projects? Or art? But hoe many times do you hear about murder?? No wonder we're growing desensitized to it. It's all we hear about all the time!!

DFF is just another case. Another series in a sea of them that tried to be shocking and play with expectations to keep people talking.

My question is, however: and now what? Now what?

Sure, we're all talking about it cause we're shocked and pissed. But adter the emotions settle and the curiosity to find out the fuck went wrong dies out, what happens?

Don't get me wrong, I love this fandom but the series itself? It'll mostly fade away. It's not something I want to create anything for anymore. I don't have care for it any longer bc why would I??? If no one bothered to mind writing something that even made sense, why should I care to love it??

And I feel like I'm not the only one!

This fandom will die. Like many other have. And what will the creators have achieved?

I never thought about The Untamed with too much fervor, for example. And most of us have not. But if I go into its tag here or on AO3, there's still stuff being made for it. And everyone once in a while, I'll think about it and I'll coke back to it and I'll cherish and nurture it for what it is. And the fandom's there. And sure rn I haven't interacted with that fandom in a bit. And I've been on DFF's tag nearly every day. But in a year, maybe even just a few months, I'll still be thinking and coming back to Xue Yang and Wei Ying and Jiang Cheng and Wen Qing... I won't be coming back to this mess, though. And in the end, it might not matter to anyone, but it matters to artists, doesn't it?

We make things because we are humans and we wish to connect with others. We wanna live forever in the things we live behind. But a story can't be told if there's no one to tell it to. You can't live forever in a void where no one awaits you.

So, in the end, we have consumed DFF, they have their money. But it will die and be buried together with all the people who have buzzed me while I was crossing the street or didn't held a door for me or were annoying to me on the bus. While other series, nourished with more love, will be there with me and many others, accumulating all the times we thought about them through the years, alive and well.

sympathies go out to people who were into paranoid DJ's songs during the 4 year gap and thought of Valentino as having this super mean, dark, gravelly voice but the contrast between that and joel perez's beautifully queer-accented code-switching mood-ring roller coaster of a voice is so funny

#paranoid dj valentino should drop a verse on a joel perez valentino song i think #valentino hazbin hotel #happy days in hell (hazbin tag) #fuckin LOVE joel perez's take on when Valentino is menacing... how he just goes so smooth and dark in tone #and sometimes raises his voice or snarls but just as much sounds... almost detached? indifferent/cold? #(his delivery of some lines during the dressing room scene... not to mention less directly menacing but #his delivery of 'you think you can change? addict trash like you can't change. i'll see you soon baby' lives in my head rent free) #paranoid dj val is so fun though I've had Hooked on repeat #(and the interlude with him and Vox in Eyes on Me is.... kind of ho--*i am dragged offstage*)

Azula (Después de la traición de Mai y Ty Lee): Te hubieras ido antes, ¿Por qué no te marchaste cuando aún no eras tan indispensable? Me pides que te olvidé cuando hiciste todo para enamorarme, ¿A qué estabas jugando, dime por qué diablos me obligaste a amarte y luego... te alejaste? Te hubieras ido antes, no creo que merezca que mi corazón tires a la basura, me suena tan irónico que ahora digas que no fue tu culpa, si no te interesaba, ¿Por qué me besabas con tanta dulzura y con tanta ternura? Te hubieras ido antes, y así ya no tendría estás ganas DE ROGARTE. 😭😭🍻

(Song: Te hubieras ido antes/Julión Alvarez).

#maizulee's legacy #azula #mai #ty lee #maizulee #atla #avatar the last airbender #I had to do it #I was just listening to the song and I remembered when Mai and Ty Lee betrayed Azula #and the song was perfect for a scene where Azula appeared drinking tequila and singing the song while raising her glass. #Maybe after that Azula started listening to banda and became addicted to tequila. #You should listen to the song #it's great and sad #translator #traductor
