Seeing both "anti nonbinary lesbians dni" and "pro male lesbians/female gays dni" in the same Do Not Interact post sure is an experience.

It's giving: "Respect nonbinary people and how they want to identify! (unless they have multiple genders yikes yikes)"

I am just beyond done from the multigender hate. It's telling that so many people just view nonbinary as a "third gender".

People with one gender may reblog but don't clown on this post.

being harassed in a YouTube comment section by people calling themselves pro/ship and insisting that simply because I’m mostly anti-harassment that means that I’m pro/ship too and I’m going to fucking throw up it makes me feel so nauseous

“Pro/ship literally just means anti-harassment!” Given the history of the term and why it was coined, NO it doesn’t. At least it sure as hell didn’t start that way.

“anti-harassment” my ass, can’t just accept that I’m fucking uncomfortable.

To the people who say "shipping with x characters are SO cringe"

The only modifier there I better see is "underage characters" because that is cringe and pedo. Anything else, like popular characters, unpopular characters, etc?

Fuck you.

People feel bad about self shipping in general. There's no need to make people feel worse. No actual reason. Just let people like what they like and shut up about it if you don't like it unless it's ACTUALLY hurting people.

#somewhat of a vent #i keep seeing joke posts about “lol shipping with x characters is soooo cringe” #shut up shut up actually! #you make people feel bad when they see that! #you make people activelly shy away from an activity that is fun and fancy free! #like just stop #self shipping #proship not welcome btw in case that wasnt clear

dear warrior cats community

please

can we have Youtubers who actually READ the books react to Warrior animations?

we don't need to make Youtubers who haven't read the books react to them, of course they have no idea what's going on.

please, just let fans react to the animations and actually understand what the fuck's going on.

queer muslim culture is being really attached to your family and actually wanting to stay with them but you know you can’t because they’ll never accept you for who you are and you feel real upset over that fact

One thing that really saddens me is when people belittle someone's intelligence due to continuously mispronouncing a word or saying it differently, or not understanding a reference to something because they've never heard of or encountered the material before despite it being well-known or "something everyone knows".

What's the phrase... "are you serious?" or "you're joking" or continuing the exclamation of appallment/surprise with "well you probably say [this] too or do [this] because of it" in a slightly teasing manner is something that... is very not appreciated. I wish people met someone not knowing "common knowledge" with "oh, what do you want to know about it? I can tell you what I know" instead of... ridicule or teasing belittlement of their intelligence.

#if you are met with it i do encourage you to speak up and say 'hey i don't really appreciate you treating me that way. #even if you were joking it still hurt my feelings. please don't do that in the future with me' #it's... i feel this is very much a neurodivergent experience to have #very much for me at least. i had all of the resources to watch all of the films 'everyone else watched' #but i was never interested enough in them to sit down and watch them or even put them on in the background #i kinda always get grilled for pronouncing iron as it's spelled and agate as ah-gah-tay since my brain processes words in parts mostly #especially new ones as jp is one of my early processed languages and it's very syllable-based #it's just. the little things that i wish i didn't get belittled over #i know i'm smart and intelligent and have the ability to learn and form opinions on complex topics #i'm just also very impressionable and don't know the things most americans are supposed to know i guess because i was busy watching anime #ahhh. #fine to reblog #the neurodivergent experience #somewhat of a vent #zombie murmurs

I think one of the most frustrating things about RWBY is that I’m still giving it chances. I’m still finding myself being like “okay, so they’re not gonna be able to quite come back from this, but they could spin it into something decent and-” and being like “okay, so X, Y, or Z is unlikely to happen, buuuuuut if it did, it could actually be really interesting-” and “there’s pretty much no hope for these characters or this story improving because of how the writers seem so oblivious to any flaws in their works, but I mean just imagine if they did this thing. That’d just make everything so much better!”

I’ve done this since V4, actually. I like V4 and V5 a lot more than some other people did, but there were still pretty big flaws and I was still waiting around for things to happen and some characters were treated badly and other characters didn’t get developed well, and some of the fights like the Haven fight were so badly done. But I was still sitting there like “well, it’s gonna get better, obviously. They’re gonna improve on this dynamic, obviously. They’re gonna work through this, obviously. They wouldn’t have set up this thread and then just drop it for seasons. We’re gonna see these characters develop so well. We’re gonna see this plot point executed well. They’re gonna build on this moment here.” etc.

V6 happened and I was like “some of this was such a big mistake, what a bad turn this show has taken, what were they thinking, this is such amateur, badly done writing,” but I was still sitting here like “Okay but it’s gonna get better. Okay but they’re gonna work through this somehow. Okay, but Qrow’s gonna feel super guilty for hitting a child and apologize and the group is gonna sympathize with Ozpin soon. Okay but Neo is gonna get a bigger role and some development in V7. Okay but if they’re going with Yang and Blake as a ship, they’re gonna start working through their massive problems and get confirmed and all. Okay but the kids are gonna be humbler now after they almost caused the destruction of Argus for no reason. Okay but it’ll be so good to see them put some serious emphasis on Weiss and her relationships with her team and family during the Atlas seasons.”

V7 happened and I hated it, I thought it was a big mess of self-important, badly written drivel with even designs that I couldn’t stand. And yet I was still waiting for the inevitable good that was probably going to come along sometime. I was still going “Okay okay, okay, they could still do some amazing things with this! They can come back from this! Ruby’s going to learn a lesson, Ironwood’s gonna feel super guilty about shooting Oscar, Ozpin’s back so finally people can apologize to and/or sympathize with him, Blake and Yang can get confirmed sometime next season, they have an opportunity to develop Neo and use her well, this Ren and Nora thing can be done in a nuanced light that acknowledges that forcing kisses on people isn’t okay, they can remember that Blake isn’t a meek and submissive person, they can still have Qrow realize how fucking stupid he’s being, they can do this ‘Maiden Penny’ thing well, and it’s not all bad! Penny, Winter, and Oscar are at least still kinda good, and they can spin the others still! And since there’s probably gonna be a third Atlas season, there’s plenty of enough time - Oh wait, this next season is gonna take place over the course of like two to three days and this is the last Atlas season? Aaaaaagh, okay, they can still salvage this somehow!”

And now, post V8, I’m doing the same exact thing. I’m still sitting here coming up with all the ways I think they could try and salvage this show and get it to at least ‘somewhat decent’ quality and improve on the characters and work on establishing clear consequences blah blah blah. I’m still holding out hope that the characters I love who I haven’t liked for three seasons or don’t even recognize at all anymore (like V6 and onwards Blake) might still recover or might actually get to talk to each other in ways that don’t feel totally fake and shallow. I’m still thinking about how this could be cool or how I’d be excited if they did that and saying “I’m actually looking forward to if they did this for at least this or that reason.” And I’m even looking at the (mostly) totally ugly V7-V8 outfits and going “Okay, but these outfits could be deconstructed into much lighter, cooler clothes for the warmer weather that’s gonna be in season nine and actually not look too awful, so maybe I won’t have to look at these for much longer!”

I know I’m probably gonna be disappointed again, but I can’t help wanting this show to be good and enjoyable because it’s at least somewhat well written, with writers who at least kinda care about putting out a good product and not enjoyable just because I like criticizing bad media. Tbh, it’s almost a compliment - though I don’t think the anti-rwde crowd would take it that way lol - that I’m still hoping the show will be better and sticking around to see if it improves, when there’s other fandoms I’ve loved that I’ve dropped like a hot potato and don’t care about the new content of at all and have zero hope for like the MCU and Doctor Who and Pirates of the Caribbean.

At the very least, I can never be accused of hating RWBY from the start and never giving it chances. Well, I could be accused of it, but the people who accuse me of it would be liars lol.

My Breadwinners Experience

Recently, I have became hyperfixated with Breadwinners, so I thought it would be nice to talk about my experience with the show and why it means so much to me right now. When Breadwinners first aired in 2014, I was in elementary school. It was my favorite TV show at the time. Something about the animation, music, and cute animal characters of the show caught my eye and made me obsess about it. Whenever I was at a friend’s house, I would always watch Breadwinners with them. I made really crappy old fanart of the show and would even name my stuffed animals after the characters! One character really stood out to me and that was Ketta, the adorable tomboyish swan mechanic. I loved her design and personality and she was like a friend to me in a way, despite being fictional. After a few years though, I stopped watching Breadwinners and forgot about it. 2022 hasn’t been the best for me to be honest. Having gone through a pandemic among other hard times and constantly hearing about politics, war, horrible things in my own country, mental illness, betrayal, and other saddening things, I felt somewhat weak and fragile. I seemed to be getting depressed and anxious about the world, and felt like the sky was crashing down to Earth. I kept scrolling on social media and hearing all of these horrible things in the world that my mental state collapsed in a way. I started getting sick more often due to the constant mental stress. I have been using other things to cope but they haven’t completely solved my issues.  Until one day, Breadwinners, the show that I adored and loved so dearly as a child, popped up into my head. All of the happy memories with the show came flooding back and made me forget about the horrible things in the world. I rewatched the episodes and felt more connected with the show. Just seeing a bunch of energetic cartoon ducks go on adventures and deliver bread made me feel happier. The main theme of “never giving up” and the fact that the characters are still alive and healthy after going through so many injuries and crashes made me feel better and motivated. The show also gave me a sense of escapism, wanting to turn into a bird and deliver bread instead of dealing with human life. It also got me obsessed with ornithology (study of birds) and encouraged me to ride my bike every day to the pond near my house instead of scrolling mindlessly through social media.

I know that Breadwinners has a lot of haters and criticism toward it. And yes, it has many flaws. But, the show has changed my life for the better. Thank you Gary Doodles and Steve Borst for making this amazing cartoon. Hope that yall are safe.

Flame Adrift - a poem (see tags for warnings)

Nothing stays we always sway At least one thing’s wrong every single day

All of us far too young We don’t feel strong enough

Creators please give me the strength to not fall apart at the seams Because someone has to look out for everyone and I’m taking one for the team

If I’m cursed to be the one with too bitter a tone I should at least also be the one to make sure no one feels alone

Bonfire in my heart used to become a bitter blaze But my warmth feels like it’s not enough at least not nowadays

In the end there’s only so much I can do Because words have their limits and they make things worse too

My only purpose is to dissuade the siren’s song But I fear the voice of death will still claim my friends before long

All I can do is my very best But somehow mine is always worse than all the rest

Vent post I suppose

Cw: medical talk, medical trauma, general pain and annoying symptoms, food/eating and weight loss. Basically if reading anything health/medical is triggering to you maybe don’t read this. Vent post not to anyone specific but more because I just need to put it out there because I can’t move on until it’s spoken into the universe (adhders get me 😵‍💫) and no one really follows this account. I’ve had a TON of medical issues that have had me in the hospital and in BRUTAL pain and on so many medications and it came very suddenly at the start of September and it’s pretty much faded away pain wise but I had to spend a lot of time in the hospital and get some surgical procedures done. I experienced some traumatic things during all of that and though it’s definitely effected me it’s not my biggest issue as I have a great new therapist to chat with about that. Right now I’m clear and healthy on all tests and I’m not in pain anymore but I’ve been experiencing some symptoms that started during the issue, and haven’t gone away. It’s taken a toll mentally and physically on me and even effected my schoolwork. I’ve seen a bunch of doctors and my surgeon and professionals and they have no idea why this could possibly still be happening to me and there isn’t an inherent link to my condition and the symptoms that I still have (they were more explainable when I was in hospital and recovering from surgery). I’m also mildly concerned that they might be a symptom of something else but I’ve managed to push that thought out of my mind. Not sure if anyone has dealt with this (lasting pain and issues) before, I’ve had chronic pain in joints and long term health stuff but never something that’s effected me like this. If you have dealt with something like this any advice on how to just cope with the huge change from who I was before this and who I am now, and also the fact I just feel like shit? Before I was playing rugby or soccer every day, eating large meals, doing well in school and socially, I was super happy and sleeping well and being productive. Now I’m exhausted all the time, nothing makes me happy (I feel very numb), I’m always bored and don’t enjoy anything I used too (or anything besides doing my word puzzles), I can’t manage basic levels of physical activity, I have no appetite and eating feels like a horrible chore, I’ve dropped 20+lbs even when I eat what should be enough, my mouth is so dry and nothing helps, non stop migraines, I can’t sleep more than two hours most nights so I end up getting so tired I pass out and sleep for over 15, my vision has gotten worse to a point my glasses don’t help and it hurts to try and look at things, hands, feet, eyes, scalp and nose are always dry and itchy, I’m perpetually nauseous, I’m irritable and sad and a lot more prone to meltdowns, I’ve had way more nerve pain than I usually do and I’m peeing annoyingly frequently (which aligned with some of my medical issues and has lessened a lot but is still just annoying asf)

I laughed so hard I cried for the first time since the start of this at a stupid joke one of my classmates made and I realized I hadn’t really laughed in months, and I’m a person who laughs at everything. I’ve been drifting from some friends recently for unrelated reasons, including my best friend of three years, and I can’t even bring myself to care because I just feel this non stop numbness in my brain and my emotions and it sucks so much. I’ve seen one episode of CM since September (tho the hyper-fixation has not gone away thank god) because I put it on and I realize that like everything else, I can’t even enjoy this. Anyways if anyone actually read this I hope you had a good time reading about how miserable I am and all my random medical issues including how frequently I pee! 🤩 I hope you feel enlightened.

Honestly the newest disney movie Wish had so much potential! I actually sort of liked the idea that the ruler is the bad guy, but the kings personality and character isn’t shown to be explored with what’s shown in the trailer. Why just have some guy who wants ppl to be more grateful for his less than minimal efforts? I strongly believe that if he had a deeper story and character other than this it could’ve been great. But I’m worried that Disney is gonna give him more of a backstory but it’s gonna be something sappy like “oh I’m like this because my grandma died blah blah blah” and it’s just gonna be so unrelated and Surface level that it takes away what a good ass Villian he could’ve been. I want a Villian that’s selfish and is doing what he does simply because he can and because he wants something that only benefits him. Or even a Villian that views himself as the saviour, Yknow making like the worst choices and actions possible but for something that could be seen as noble? Give me these amazing villains that reflect society in a complex and interesting way so I can give out more of my analysis essays again
