friendly (maybe not so friendly reminder) that you dont have to read fic you dont agree with! you also dont need to sit their and lecture an author about the things you dont agree with or like in a fic! the block button is free 99 and anyone is welcome to use it
im not sure if its a new generation of fic readers or what but if you have nothing nice to say, dont say it at all when you're consuming free content on the internet someone put hours into just to share.
i read all the reblogs and comments on my fics. even if i dont respond i still read them! many of them i go back to all the time because i have some of the sweetest people ever commenting on my work
but stuff like this actually sucks to read
thanks for liking my fic, you wrote 200 words about all the stuff you didn't like and less than six words about how you liked it. you're reading fic. suspend disbelief. understand it isn't real life.
if you dont like something in my fic, dont put it where i can see it. talk about in private. block me. ignore my posts and dont follow me. idc.
but i do this for FREE. im not an author who makes my money whether you like my book or not. i spend hours of my free time writing and creating to share with people.
i have a catalogue of work at this point that you are welcome to read if you dont jive with one of my fics! i actively encourage you not to read my fics with themes you dont agree with. but dont read something and then come into my space and use it as a soap box
to the 99.9% of lovely people interacting with my stuff, thank you. to the anon that sent me the twitter post about baja blasts, thank you bc that cracked me up after i fell into this foul mood.

ok wait what the fuck are these machines
they put like most of the vital parts in the "stem" and not the top?? because the place you put your mons take up the entire top??
dude if there is a single problem in the mechanics in the stem (aka most of the important parts of the machine) you have to take off the fucking receptical??
not to mention just how packed together everything is. how has nothing overheated yet.
did they do this so it didnt look bulky. these mfers are going to spend so much on repair. not to mention they dont even work as well as actual healing stations because everything is done automatically and cant be adjusted by the person useing it.
you are doing the same amount to every mon, so some are getting more treatment than needed, and some aren't getting enough. there arnt rotom or porygon on this machine so this is just running off code which you NEVER want for something that deals with health?? theres no one to even supervise it!!
why didnt they just hire nurses to run these. convince?? money?? what the fuck. what the fuck. even students studying medicine would have been better then no one!

I don't understand why ppl can't just come out and say they don't like sapnap. They continously bring up the k!ck situation as a reason which can be fair on most cases but in general, it's been way before k!ck even came into the picture. Ppl been hating this man for 4 years now and it's sickening! And they sit here and call themselves dteam stans but everytime they mentioned him it's always negative. Nothing positive at all!

holding myself back from criticizing another fuckin podcast . i just. i really take my mythology seriously. and i hate it when people write stories abt folklore and mythology etc and they act like everything is so weeeeird and straaaaange and like these characters from legend are real and Evil . and when people dont know basic shit. like in this podcast one character was like "i hope we see a selkie" and the other was like "how do you know what a selkie is?" ITS A SELKIE. ITS REALLY NOT AN UNKNOWN FOLKTALE. CMON GUYS. PLEASE TRY HARDER W YOUR WRITING. like it just sucks! it really sucks. people should be taking more scholarly interest in these topics, and i understand writing your own stories based on them, but youre making this all a lot more dressed up than it needs to be. the people who grew up learning traditional stories found in their corner of the world and believing in them over thousands of years are not lesser than us, they lead just as complex lives with the same complex emotions as we do now in the modern age, and acting like they were idiots is horrible. the same podcast im complaining abt w the selkie thing also had an interaction between two characters where one was like "wasnt that god evil? didnt people perform human sacrifices to them?" and the other replied "thats just what people did. the god wasnt necessarily evil. we shouldnt judge a god based on what people do in their name." okay. okay. there is a lot to unpack there (/neg), but what i want to point out is that this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what a god is. a "god" is a reflection of humankind that was imagined to explain why life works a certain way. the storms are destroying the crops? must be that someone is angry with us! there must be a reason besides "the world is just like this", because that isnt fair! the world cannot just be cruel! there needs to be a reason. and thus, we have figures like thor and zeus born into existence. gods are reflections of people. they are morally gray or even absent from a moral code altogether, because they arent seen as human. humans need reasons that bad things happen. humans need comfort. they need someone to blame or thank. You Cannot Say That A God Is Not Responsible For Its Worshipers Because Gods Are Not Real. A God Is A Construct Of Human Belief. All That A God Is Is A Belief. they exist because we say so!!!!
as an aside, yes i do love stories abt mythology where gods are real and taken seriously. one of my favorite movies is the northman because it takes that belief and religion and practice completely seriously, and its incredible and fascinating and horrifying, as gods are supposed to be. i love that. i grew up reading percy jackson as an adolescent because it was kid friendly mythology, and i love mythology. i find it so interesting to put ourselves in the mindset of "what if it is real?" because thats a different sort of world that we can dream up. the silt verses, for fucks sake!!! one of my favorite podcasts! literally about "what if all gods were real"! runemarks by joanna harris!! go read it!!!! its my favorite adaption of norse myth!! i am not being a killjoy. i am just saying you need to Think about what youre writing before you write it. also i hate stories that blend mythology, assuming they can combine the myths of sirens with mermaids and erase historical folklore, saying that "all creatures exist alongside one another but theyre all so isolated they havent had any interesting interaction" its so stupid. most gods are the same gods and thru those repeated stories and ideas and concepts we can get a better idea of what was historically important to humankind. dont read american gods though...the ending sucks and is a total letdown....you wont enjoy it. but it does introduce some interesting topics of how belief travels across the world and births new religions. really cool. however i dont like that book so dont read it

All that to say that yeah my reading of silent hill stuff is always from a very personal view and not the lense which i usually use which is the lense of studying and understanding the other. Bcs little Alessa is my best friend i babysit her and play w barbie horse dolls w her.

been reading henna wars!!
ive never gotten so heated at a bunch of fictional characters before
like flavia and chyna culturally appropriating henna for a business project
when nishat told flavia that she's appropriating her culture, flavia was like "it's a type of art! it can't be a part of a culture!!" when nishat gets offended by her stupid ignorant comment, flavia acts more offended💀😭😭
i genuinely wanna fight chyna, racist white girl who is racist who is an ass to nishat and priti and makes fun of and mocks indian culture and is now starting a henna business r u mfing kidding me.
jess and chaewon like omfg jess is another racist white girl apologist and she is one herself and chaewon literally does nothing and doesn't defend nishat when jess is in the wrong instead she stands by jess and would probably be on her side
