I know the Sanders Sides fandom is supposed to be wholesome and means well but sometimes ... Roman gets this treatment

ah yes, I understand he can be filed under the jock bubble when standing next to Logan

okay - let me tell you, Roman may act before thinking, but that's not "dumbass." He may have his "not smart" moments but like, everybody does. It depends on your field. Logan may be the smartest one in the room because he's Logic but don't forget, he gets out of touch with slang and makes an effort to learn what he doesn't know. Roman has a strong skillset in the creatives as well as typical fairytale prince stuff like slaying the dragon witch. He definitely knows how to test swords for weight and method (does it stab? does it slash? what direction of slashing?) & if the enemy is the type you should aim for the head or aim for the heart & how to rhyme the word orange or purple & how to adjust his spec for the different producer(s) he's selling himself to.

Roman gets carried away and yeah that's the point of him as the aspirations, creativity, and dreams of the Sides. Yet it does make sense. ex, big castle = prince big dream = regular person's big dream is having your own living space

His set back is not "dumbass," it's his traditional prince values, his biases, and/or his pride

I guess Patton gets this too but I see Roman more > and Patton somehow gets away with parental wisdom in fan media.

Hulk in Marvel cartoons get this treatment too. He's always the "brawns and no brain" because comedy and I think the only cartoon ver of him where he is as smart as human Bruce off the top of my head is Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (to be fair, that cartoon strongly follows the comics). Thor is in the same boat.

To Fans of Nyo!Belarus...

To any of you who named him “Arlovskaya”, do you know how surnames work in Russian-speaking countries? Also, did you read the kitawiki? It never said “Arlovskaya”, it said “Arlofsky” or “Arlovski”. Although, Arlovski is a real person, and I’m pretty sure Natasha’s surname isn’t Arlofskaya with an f. 

Can any Russians and Belarusians confirm if Natalya/Natallia is still relevant? Is it an outdated name or still going? I feel most of the characters have old people name.

Update: Wikipedia said the Belarusian spelling is feminine “Арлоўская” (Arlouskaya, Arloŭskaja, Arlowskaya) or masculine “Арлоўскі” (Arloŭski, Arlowski) but I know every Belarusians will write however they think is correct, because we all think differently according to the language we understand. You know that internet meme what language do bilinguals/polyglots think in? The better question is what language rules do they think in? Example, came across a name on a social media handle “Bitl” and I thought “wait, I thought your name is Zhuk?” Turns out, Zhuk means beatle. (Edit: I mispelt beetle)

PS. Why did people name Romania “Vlad” after Vlad Tepes then proceeded to name him “Vladimir” when that’s a Russian name and Vlad Tepes the Impaler’s full name is right there, “Vladislav”. How did we fail that one?????

PPS. I forgot when I wrote this. This sat in my drafts forever.

PSA but please don't use "are you clean?"/"I'm clean" when characters are having discussions about STIs/STDs

#ive seen this in a lot of fics and #its not great #people with stis/stds are not dirty #and using language that implies as such is geniunely harmful and contributes to social stigma surrounding it #most people dont even realize how common they are #statistically speaking #over half the people reading your fics might have one #a lot of people just wont realize

dean grew up hating kansas (the band) because his dad would play Carry On Wayward Son in the impala, and all he'd hear for years from his father was there'll be peace when you are done as if it was some sort of justification for what john was doing. he'd hear his dad say don't you cry no more over and over every time they left a new school. and this band had the audacity to be named after his home. somewhere he never got to grow up in.

#hot takes on the dash from char today #classicrocknatural #spn #dean #this is also why i subscribe to the idea that 15x20 is showing chuck won. bc dean never listens to kansas in the show. #why would kansas be in his heaven? its all just a sham. a production. if it was heaven it'd be zeppelin #and fine you can't get zepp. then just dont do it at all? like its not that hard. its about your characters not the song and dance you want #anyway. dean hates kansas squad. #i like Kansas but spn is much more entertaining if dean doesnt 😂 #destiel #<- to keep the w*nc*sties off #char speaks

My ex-wife did not give me cancer.

I realize that most people who get divorced dont get cancer from their ex-partner but I spent 6 months thinking that she might have. She gave me HPV and I had an abnormal pap smear, then an abnormal biopsy, then finally they scraped all the abnormal cells away and tested them. I do not have cancer. I have been holding on to my last shred of sanity by the skin of my teeth and now I have a slightly firmer grip. I don't have cancer. I keep saying it so that I can slowly start to believe it. Months of crying, screaming, and then numbness have finally left me here. I hate her. I hate her even more than the man who traumatized me as a child and I thought that wasn't possible. I don't think she understands what the last 6 months have done to me and I doubt she cares but some part of me wants her to finally face some consequences for her actions. So far I am the only one who has faced consequences and it was for her actions, not mine. How do you make someone without empathy understand the gravity of my absolute terror these last 6 months? She gets to move on and live with her lovers and I am stuck with medical debt, less faith in humanity, and so much rage. How does she face justice?

eek i remain still pondering game theory — todays thought is! so in zermelo’s theorem it states that the proof is vaguely like. games of length less than or equal to n+1 can be solved using backward induction; but when you go to do a proof by induction it seems like literally any number can be n? like there’s no number it can’t be except for like a negative or something.. that’s what it seems like to me. maybe n is like the maximum possible moves given in a game? that sort of makes sense i think. eek

word count:

Before I start, I will say I have strong suspicions these tiktok rcta and/or ecta things are satire or clickbait then got people fooled then got angry people to satire them back and now we're stuck in a loop

also tall stack of tw: racism, xenophobia, exoticism or fetishization then brief mention of homophobia, queerphobia, sexism, immigrant parents trauma, slurs

at least, I hope everything is a grand prank because my brother told me nobody actually did the tidepod challenge (not the sponsored one), it was a hoax people fell for. I don't know?

These rcta or ecta tend to pick Asian. You want to be Asian so badly? Okay then. I'll help you:

Parents always compare you to cousins, siblings, or some other kid of friend

parents disapprove if you're an art major

you must hide your tattoos unless it's eyebrows or lip

get called a slur if you're gay/queer because there is no real translation to "gay" or "bisexual" etc.

you must be a doctor, lawyer, dentist

straight As in everything even if your parents don't know English

after school sports/music or study/tudor

the sport is probably tennis or badminton

the music is piano or violin

music is just to show off to family gatherings, not a career choice

parents insist you're doing it wrong even though they'd never done it and you already got the best coach

your American name is probably Jenny because it's simple for parents who can barely speak English

parents ask you to translate every letter in the mail and/or help write a text message or email

if you're a girl, your brother will receive strong favoritism

"wow, you look so handsome after your haircut" (you both got haircuts...)

gender bias and gender stereotypes and sexism

spanking with a giant chopstick or la chancla

this is not child abuse, this is normal parenting

people blame you for the pandemic

people poke fun of your small eyes and smelly lunch

people always assume you can read Chinese characters even if your language only has Latin letters

receive whitening cream if you have natural tan/olive skin

were told you must be friends with only Asian people ... although White people are ok

if you're Vietnamese, never hang out with Black people or Mexicans

even if they're not Mexican, all Latin Americans are "Mexicans"

hate on the Chinese because Communism and colonialism trauma

get called any of the East Asian nationalities even though you're actually ASEAN

if you identify as Japanese and work in an office job, then you put work above everything else

you're a kid and identify as Japanese or Korean, you help the declining population

if you're a kid and identify as Chinese, you either have 1 or 0 siblings

aunties are always blunt about your physical appearance esp weight

pda is frowned upon

receive hair straightening products if you have natural curly hair

say you like the cut watermelon or mango once and your parents buy you a whole pack of 50 the next day

parents are always right and you're an ungrateful child for disagreeing

parents never listen to you and if you try to reason, you're disrespectful

parents threaten of disownment or toss you outside in the streets

parents make fun of you for small mistakes

lectures for every small joy in life

teachers assume you are fluent in (language) and must help the new kid even though you're a heritage speaker who forgot

teachers assume this one English word doesn't exist in your language even though you simply forgot the word

teachers will teach media covering AAPI and command the class to never correct them because you're all a bunch of rowdy kids and I can't be bothered to pronounce everything correctly

your name is too hard, do you have an English/American name?

parents dictate how to eat, including which order or how to cut it a specific way ... why? for best enjoyment

even if it's a simple burger

"you can do this" actually means "you should do this"

anything you say can and will be used against you ALWAYS

you're always too skinny or too fat

"wow, you're a weak eater" yeah I wonder why

you can't do that physics project because you're a girl, even though everybody is required to do it by themselves

girls can't be engineers

if you're a Korean gal with short hair and athletic, you'll be called a "feminist" derogatory

you can only marry other Asians

preferably "city Asians" (you know the derogatory term)

"you have the right to speak your mind" except when it's your parents

parents are always better than you

that one small lecture about that one small thing turns into one long lecture (five or ten lectures merged into one) about everything else that came up and I swear they just want to keep going

"her hair was as curly as a Black person" derogatory

"I don't want to wear that, it makes me look gay"

everything you do is wrong

"women aren't supposed to have hairy legs, it's dirty, you're wrong"

good gods they can't understand tone

I be telling them there is another hole in my room in a straight voice and they yell why are you complaining it's going to happen deal with it

your mom doesn't know how to read English, can't be bothered to slow down and read English labels properly so she calls you about the wrong product/names

you're not allowed any joy in peace

ok I'll stop

#as you can see #I strongly resent my parents #children of immigrant parents #can relate #rcta #ecta #you want to be Asians so bad then buckle up #aapi #stop aapi hate #your parents will never love you #sti speaks

Rant or Trauma Dump: Overblot Leona is Relatable as a Student in American Public School

Will keep this short as possible

Abstract: Leona's trauma = shared trauma but (American) 12th grader student edition. I share my experience. Am I allowed to say it's my trauma when it's just resentment?

Work count: 585

Leona expressed strong resentment at the idea of birth > skill so why r bother trying? Nobody cares. I understood it from a story writing standpoint at first then this came to me and I felt things.

Not sure how common this is around the globe but I went to an American public school for high school/secondary school education (why do I sound like a foreign exchange student haha) and every week of/before homecoming or winter break or some major event, there’s spirit week in which each grade level compete with themed outfits, lunch time activity\games, and assembly games. Win enough points to beat the other grade.

Off topic but my school’s Assembled Student Body have zero creativity for lip sync and themes because why do they keep doing Marvel and Disney? I might as well think we’re sponsored by Disney because we could’ve had HTTYD or Wonder Woman for crying out loud. Also there was a spirit day for “hype beast” in which you wear the high end stuff like Supreme. Well, I was bullied in elementary school for being NOT high income so I held resentment for those things.

Freshman year (9th grade), I did my best but we came in last place. Seniors won. Sophomore year, I felt bad for the freshmen who tried harder than us last year and they lost. Their side was decked out in white, it looked like Big Bear. Seniors won. Junior year, I figured it out it was pointless. Seniors won. Then came our turn. I noticed it. My fellow seniors would not bother trying because they knew they’d win anyway or would cheat the system like raising their hands for points even though they’re not wearing anything spirit (sometimes they be counting shoes). I hated it. I hated it more when the senior favoritism happens before your eyes.

Every winter assembly, there should be a sled race where one player is in a cardboard box and another pulls. Seniors never pull because their box has a giant hole so they can stand up and run to the finish line like a Grinch. I never saw that my senior year. Every assembly ever, there’s supposed to be a clapping game similar to Simon Says. The freshman are always duped on the first “clap” and the seniors don’t even play the game, it’s an applause! A standing ovation even! Even the seniors get to win the lip sync battle every time. Makes me wonder if they could stand in the corner then still win first place. In elective and math (above Algebra 1) classes, you would find mixed grade levels so not sure how much the point-counters scrutinize. They are not nit picky with seniors. If you raise your hand, we don’t check. Below seniors? They check. Yet, I think the cronyism is the main problem.

Seniors don’t need any skill set. They just need to be that class and bam, easy win. Any other class could try as they might and never win. I hated it more when people say, “let them win, they’re graduating.” Might as well give them all passing grades, senior year is the easiest anyways. No worries about senioritis. All the teachers love you because you’re mature baby-adults and about to leave. Hate the freshmen because they’re the hooligans. Let’s bully the freshmen.

Conclusion: Leona is relatable in the birth order > skill set resentment and not trying hard if nobody cares, because of the high school seniors favouritism I witnessed during spirit week.

some of the tags on that ‘i cant fathom going on tinder’ post are annoying the absolute shit out of me

#dont rb #i don’t care so much about the post itself #like if ur speaking about yourself and how you wouldn’t that’s one thing but #people being like ‘imagine doing this. gross. repulsive’ #who cares 😭 let people do what they like man #if it’s not for u it’s not for u and that’s cool u don’t need to dog other ppl for liking casual sex #or make them feel nasty for it? #there are some points made that i understand. physical safety is absolutely a concern because you’re #meeting a stranger. #but the comments calling it unhygienic also piss me off because #u can think you know everything about someone OR u can fuck someone u know and think u trust #and still get an sti from them #also the OP saying #‘i have casual sex just not with freaks from t/inder’ #LDMDLSF get a grip #does that make u morally superior 🧍‍♂️ does it #if u want to treat sex as purely #physical that’s cool. if u want it to be an intimate connection that’s also cool. both are equally valid #we are all just hedonistic meat bags some ppl want luv some want a fuck just do ur damn thing

re the tags of my last post like fodlan falls apart the moment you try to apply like. any real structural analysis to it anyways which is generally fine (obviously) if you just wanna play your fantasy chess war game except like. one of the routes is ostensibly about challenging hierarchies and restructuring the social order for the benefit of those oppressed by the system but like the actual way they go about even showing social hierarchies and structures of oppression in the game is so. bad djdhdjdj. like either inconsistent in a way that renders it almost incoherent under any analytical pressure or just like. handled so poorly it’s just. yikes!

like i’m not saying the whole thing is nonsense. there is obviously a surface level narrative that is largely coherent for every route but like literally any sort of deeper or structured analysis eventually becomes well… yikes!

#and that’s the analysis in and of itself to a certain extent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #like from a meta level some of the decisions that were made in developing the game independent of the narrative sti structured elements #of the world building and the narrative to the extent that it like.. ‘muddied it up’ a bit so to speak dhdhdjd #x

AITA for sabotaging my husband's relationships?

CW for discussions about sex, but I wouldn't say it's NSFW

In my country, arranged marriages are very common and this was how I (24F) got married with "Jason" (24M) (note that I said ARRANGED marriages, not FORCED marriages. An arranged marriage is basically when your family plays matchmaker with you and someone else, but it isn't forced). It's important to say I never wanted to get married and am for sure placed somewhere in the ace spectrum, because sex was never something important to me. But I knew Jason since we were kids and he was always nice to me, so I accepted to spend some time with him and see where it would go.

Turns out Jason and I had a lot in common. Our country is pretty religious, but neither of us saw that much importance in religion and just pretended to our families to not cause problems. We are both more on the introvert side and don't like crowds or big family reunions. When I told him about my feelings about sex and sexuality, he was sweet and understanding. We ended up becoming good friends and it was obvious the idea of marrying each other seemed appealing for us.

So we got married two years ago. We made a deal to be basically good friends who are married, to not have sex and sleep in different rooms. He was allowed to sleep with whoever he wanted since he was not getting this from me. Everything was perfectly fine.

Our families, however, really started to pressure us to have children this last year. Since this was so important to them, we agreed to, well, try. But first I asked him to make an STI exam since he had his fair share of casual sex and, even though he reassured me he always used protection, I wouldn't feel safe otherwise. After the exam showed he was clean, we had our first time together and it was great. Way better than I could ever imagine. After that, he noticed I liked it and asked if sex was in the equation of our relationship now. I said yes.

This was a few months ago and since then we've been having sex pretty regularly, but we also started to spend more time together outside of that, and I think my feelings of friendship for Jason are starting to change. Not only that, but I started to feel jealous of his casual relationships, especially his affair with this "Anna" girl (20sF) who he's been seeing regularly for the past months. I'm scared he starts to fall in love with her, because he always speaks highly of her and he seems to like her.

So I kinda started to sabotage his dates with her and other girls, in a way? I pretend to have headaches, to feel sick or sad or any other excuse so he has to stay with me instead of go see them. I know it's childish and maybe I should just talk to him about it, but I'm so scared he doesn't feel the same and things get weird between us. It's not like we can escape each other.

AITA?
