#that just encourages more shittiness

[foldingfittedsheets]

@rox-and-prose THIS IS ACTUALLY A GREAT QUESTION.

So in the first draft I was gonna have a time skip of the house getting a little neater each day of the week, and Sabine was gonna have a line about like, "Oh! You must be good luck, you attracted a brownie."

And then during a revision I was like, I haven't shown enough of the fantasy element to be sure that a brownie would land, because people might not know about the helpful home fairies who cook and clean for you.

So when I revised I decided it was funnier if Jazz was caught cleaning but it does make her look 1000% sillier because she just saw a mess and was compelled to clean regardless of consequences.

#the first draft of jasmine was ultimately a little bit smarter but to me it made her seem more like she was taking advantage #I also scrapped a scene where Sabine didn't want to shower because depression/paranoia and jazz encouraged her to bathe #it would've been cute but having Jazz ever see Sabine naked felt pretty shitty and while I had planned to have her look away #it just felt better to cut that and turn it into a mental health walk instead #ramblies #werewolf #jazz and sabine

Generally love how anyone who at least watched a little Horrid Henry agrees on one thing: those parents were beyond shit and Henry will very likely go no contact as soon as he's an adult.

#and maybe peter depends though #cause like i will admit do not like his character much #as gives vibes of the sibling joining in on the abuse #but at the same time its clear the shitty parenting got to him #aka perfect child syndrome who will get anxious if things arent perfect #and does try to divert attention to him #let alone the whole telling on henry thing has only been encouraged by the parents lets be real #since they just yell at henry for anything #plus one episode he actually sees henry gets more attention for his bad behavior #that he actually decides to try and be horrid to get some attention too #and its kinda sad the parents have pushed peter to that point #granted again as said its mainly the mom whose shit #the dad at times does seem to try at least #as he has similiar interests to henry at times #but the mom kinda ruins that at times for the two #plus you got the uh episode of peters birthday where the clown did say for a magic trick he'd make henry disappear #and the mom instantly started cheering and saying bravo #much to ralph and margaret giving her the 'wtf' look #and keep in mind margaret is henrys arch nemesis who hates him #so says alot when even shes giving that look to the mom #and yeah theres too many examples in this show but short: the parenting really does suck #and i get its a kids show and it was like that in the books too #but damn even the books parents wont this bad

Finally been formally diagnosed with POTS. Which I knew I had for years and years now, but yay, it's official.

The thing that was best about the interaction was how clearly he understood how much this sucks. Like. He apologized multiple times for what I've been going through, with apparent real sympathy. Offered medication that might help a bit, but pointed out that it is up to me to keep taking it or stop, because I'm the only one who can tell if it's helping or not. Told me to exercise more, not to lose weight, but to build up muscle in the parts of my body that will help keep blood flow consistent, and very much empathized with how much that process is going to fucking suck. Literally didn't bring my weight up once, which is shocking for a cardiologist (look they're kind of shitty sometimes). Stopped on his way out of the room to apologize again about how I've been dealing with this for over a decade without medical support.

At the same time, he was entirely brusque, business-like, straightforward, without ever being rude or dismissive. One of the best new doctor experiences I've had in ages.

#personal post #makes me even angrier about the shitty endocrinologist I saw a couple weeks ago #one of them told me to eat less carbs (NOT HER JOB CAN YOU LOOK AT MY THYROID MAYBE) #the other expressed empathy for my suffering and told me exactly how more exercise would help with the exact issue that was his problem #I think I'm going to get an exercise bike #ideally a reclining bike #because come summer #just going for a walk is not going to be an option because I will pass out within five minutes #but this man managed to encourage me to do that without ever bringing up the fact that I am fat #the fat is a result of the disability not the cause of it #and I think he understood that #I might adore him

i. assume you meant for this to be an ask? anyway no they obviously speak french, she got it from somewhere, i wasn't saying None Of Them Know French At All lmao they are literally french. i just think it's funny when fanfictions depict the heartbroken as being The Most Stereotypically French Family To Ever Exist & alec speaking french at random because that is, textually speaking, very not the case! one of those things where a character trait is taken to an irrational extreme in fan content. also no one should beat the heartbroken's asses for any reason that's mean :( they're just little guys. and they've never done anything wrong ever. but if they Did do something wrong at some point it was fine because i like them.

#ask #i think the heartbroken who actually left the house to go to school or whatever probably had more exposure to it than alec did #given that heartbreaker spoke english during alec's time w/ him & he was away from quebec for 2.5 years #i think his skill level was like. Probably decently rusty #& not in the 'alec has trauma pertaining to the french language' fanfic trope that's weirdly common way either #just kinda irrelevant to him #if he hadn't gotten smote he would have been like. Stop Doing Thaaat over imp acting incessantly french #alternatively: encourage the shitty french because it makes his siblings complain and he thinks that's funny

getting real fucking tired of my for you page being full of some different fucking kink every goddamn day

#usually its f**der shit #today ig theyre making me look at r*pe and y*nd*re and g*re stuff and i am fucking DONE with this shit #the usually stuff is just annoying. this shit is genuinely unsettling and disgusting and i do not want to see it #blocked blocked blocked you are ALL blocked because tumblr is a shitty website #and has decided to rub my nose in incredibly niche communities i have negative interest in #i hate it here they keep breaking the for you in new and terrible ways #asterisked the fuck out of those complaints above bc i do NOT want to encourage the broken ass algorithm any more than i need to

sticking up your gyatt for the rizzler you’re so skibidi you’re so skibidi/ref

{ 🕸️ :: so glad you sent this ask so i can reveal to the public that the rizzler's name is infact based off this, thank you. here i'll include his origins in the tags too hold on }

#tbcu #ooc post #he was supposed to be a shitpost character that served as some stupid joke counterpart for the wizard that would just say 'im the rizzler!' #and then go completely inactive being known as that one ball who just. interacted with the wizard and Said That #but then i got weirdly attached. and i got excited to join the tbcu. and people encouraged me. #and despite being begged to make a new blog that was hopefully more serious #i did not. #so now my only fucking tbcu oc is the RIZZLER and i REALLY LIKE HIM and his DESIGN #and i REALLY LIKE BUILDING ON HIS CHARACTER AND LORE AND ABILITY. and now im fucking stuck with this like shitty hyperfixation #on a guy named THE RIZZLER.

genuinely terrified of the new hp game. like. there's a 90% chance the release of this game will release a whole new wave of transphobia, antisemitism, racism, and a shitload of other bigotry. and the assholes will hide behind their game like a bully saying "take a joke bro". it's not just a game. it's not just a book series. it's not harmless. if you give a fuck about literally anyone other than yourself, don't play the fucking game.

#like. i'm very worried that these kind of assholes will come creeping out of the floorboards like this game gave them permission #y'know. the people who want me and my friends dead. the people who care more about a shitty fantasy series (it's not even that good!) #than thousands and thousands of real life people. the people who say 'it's for the nostalgia' as if that excuses putting so many in danger. #i'm just... #there's already legislature coming out to erase and kill people like us!! this will only encourage it!!! #fucking... #it doesn't help that in theater class like 75% of the kids are hp fans #and i want desperately to believe that they just don't understand but...i know it's that they just don't care #and it hurts.

if capitalism breeds innovation why is every social media company the same

#BECAUSE every company now wants to be like tiktok bc capitalism doesnt encourage creativity and innovation #it encourages copying your competitors to make more money than them #which most of the time doesnt even work! i can buy shitty knockoff converse but everyone will Know theyre not Real #and the knockoff company isnt making more money than converse by copying them #just as everyone Knows tumblr live isnt tiktok and its just a money grab #basically what im trying to say is. social media was better when each website was trying to do its own thing and provide unique features #no other platform had #and that's slowly being taken away from us as the internet becomes more and more standardized #when tumblr dies for good i'll see yall on neocities #steven speaks

My brother failed his driving test (was so nervous that he crashed) and cried afterwards because he was so upset about it and I, in true estranged eldest daughter fashion, am sick to my stomach worrying that my parents gave him shit for it

#i don't even like my brother very much #hes conservative and shitty like my dad (tho he is only 16 so im holding out for a few years before i decide he's a lost cause) #but i am still The Third Parent #my brother is My Dad's Son TM so i sincerely doubt he would humiliate him abt crying/be anything less than encouraging #but knowing how they treated ME when I made a mistake is. making me extra paranoid #surely they wouldn't do it a second time. surely they've noticed how i never talk to them #surely they understand what they did to cause it and wouldn't do it again to their youngest baby. right? #he was raised so much more leniently than i was so i don't think he's quite as. like. #terrified or failure but not bc of the failure but bc of the repercussions from The Bosses #but man. man. i need a leather cord to chew on. #i know my parents are shit to their kids bc they were shit to me and now im worried they'll be shit to him! what a cycle #anyway. tonight i am drinking to fall asleep faster! huzzah or whatever #also editing this to add a prediction: yes i know i could just ask my parents/brother how they reacted. you misunderstand our relationship #i live here and take care of the chickens and feed their son while they gamble. we do not talk. not even casually. #i don't just 'ask' any of them what happened. we exchange facts about events and move on #sometimes we visit my grandmother and get too encouraged by a chatty environment and get into arguments #we disagree on fundamentally everything (other than polite manners in public. that is unbreakable and sound) so we don't talk #ive surpassed wanting their attention. i don't want to know their opinions anymore and they never wanted to know mine #tough shit i guess. who knew you needed to love a child as a child and not as a cute handbag to lug around #(especially when that cute handbag grew up to be not so cute anymore and fat and actually reacted to that shitty treatment) #anyway this post isn't abt me (but im my mother's daughter so i always make things abt me huh) #i feel bad for my brother and wish i had been a better sister #i know i had 3+ undiagnosed mental illnesses/disabilities but still #i hope he passes really easily the next time and he isn't as nervous and my parents help him fix his car without complaining #vent

I don’t understand people who are like “yeah the show is shit here’s everything wrong with it” and then you go onto their blog and it’s all gifsets from the show

like you realise by continuing to watch shit, when you know it’s shit, will mean shit keeps getting fed to you, right? this is exactly why these crappy studios can get away with tearing apart original work with no respect for the material, because bitches complain then still give them money and advertising

no offense but are y’all just, like...dumb?

#I'm sorry but I go to some of these blogs and all I see is big clownfaces everywhere #it's the same with the D/A fandom which Ieft for similar reasons #people will be like ''here's a huge essay on why Dr/agon A/ge is the worst video game writing everywhere'' #and then immediately after they're talking about wanting to buy DA/4 when it comes out #like I'm sorry but if you do this you are basically a hopeless consumer #exactly the type of sucker that these assholes want lol #because all you do is spread controversy for their media while still buying their media #meaning they actually profit MORE because of your criticism #becuse you still watch/play the thing and encourage other people to do so also #like why even pretend you have standards or that your opinion has worth #when you're clearly happy to continue consuming trash #and paying for fucking AA prices for it too in the case of shitty games #sometimes on release #sometimes even pre-ordered #just so you can complain about how bad it is #while still giving them money so they can keep pumping shit content into the world

i want to be excited about the new pjo book but at this point in my life i just feel too cynical/overly critical of blatant cash grabs that i’m just expecting it to be shit :///

#i cant tell if this outlook is good or bad #bc on the one hand i dont want to give my money to capitalist corporations that hold so much power (economically and culturally #and to a much smaller extent politically) and im so tired of all these reboots and sequels and remakes and revivals etc etc etc #that i dont want to encourage it! i want it to stop! so i dont want to contribute to it! and i want other ppl to see how low-quality #all these shows and movies and books are! #but then on the other hand: i'm so cynical about it and so hyper-critical of the media i consume #that i wonder if im making my life more miserable? #like do i see it as a point of pride to not engage in shitty media like mcu movies? the answer is probably yes! #so does that mean im hypocritical about shit or taking the fun out of harmless things? i dont know! #(and obviously this doesnt apply to stuff thats actively harmful. racist military propaganda like certain mcu movies/shows are NOT equivalen #to a percy jackson book getting published 14 years after the end of the original series. #) but that being SAID i just...AHHH. #i think i want to be happy about this #but instead im just kind of annoyed? #in a 'is nothing sacred?' kind of way. #because it very much IS a cash-grab cop-out. even the premise looks lame as hell #and i want it to be good but i think it'll be very bad. #i guess ill just have to wait and see. if it turns out to be actually very good then ill be ecstatic #but if its just mediocre like im expecting. then i think ill feel really angry #and then ill feel alone in that anger because everyone is so hungry for consuming content content content these days #that everyone is foaming at the mouth over this announcement bc theyll eat up ANYTHING related to content they already like. #and arent capable of being critical about it. #but then that circles back to my ORIGINAL question by wondering if we NEED to be as critical as im being AT ALL. #maybe its nbd and i should just let people have their fun! or maybe its fine for me to be annoyed! maybe both???? fuck me idk. #just some thoughts #pjo #mine

What the actual fuck, Devi is pissing me off with this cheater behaviour. 

#like why are you stringing along two guys without telling them??? #that is disgusting #if they were ok with a poly relationship that's one thing but you didn't even disclose it #also her friends are shitty for continuing to encourage her to go with paxton just because he's hot #(the way he's sexualized is also so disgusting like can they stop talking about his penis size and also all the comments about their + #+ own parents checking him out??? like what the actual fuck??) #when she barely knows him/has anything in common with him #whereas that's not the case with ben #also ben driving her was a lot more meaningful that anything paxton did #anyways I'm pissed #she deserves to be dumped by both if she continues with this atrocious behaviour #never have I ever #misc #rant #my opinion

that post I made lamenting about kung pow penising keeps getting notes, and while I do stand by what i said in it, i’m also lowkey hoping it doesn’t blow tf up like that onceler post did and murder my notif page again

#fr though like. it really makes me feel sad that Every Other Social is just so. so. ugh #they’re like. designed in a way that almost ENCLURAGES starting controversy and arguing if that makes sense #because like. on twitter ANY engagement on your tweet boosts it in the algorithm #and i’m assuming insta and tiktok probably have similar things going on #so it makes even calling someone OUT on their shitty take/behavior kind of a double edged sword #because on one hand side you’ll probably ratio them and it’ll be funny #but on the other hand it gives them a spotlight. and then they can USE that spotlight to promote whatever they want #and then because they’re GETTING all this extra attention/people defending them it sort of encourages them to keep being shitty #because they want attention and doing that gets them attention. not GOOD attention but still attention #at the very least with tumblr there isn’t much of an Algorithm™️ to worry about #and most of our users only get content through the other people they follow #and only reblogs are able to actually make posts circulate through that method because a lot of people also private their likes #so because of that on here we’re able to ratio the fuck out of a shitty post but still keep it CONTAINED #and even if it DOES start circulating it’s usually just because everyone’s pointing and laughing #a post having a chain of kungpowpenis added onto it basically like. marks it. #it basically tacks a big glowing ‘‘we all decided this post sucked please disregard it’’ sign onto it #which is like!! so much more visible and effective than a twitter ratio or whatever else!! #and tbh it’s probably stopped a lot of unnecessary drama/arguing on shitty posts before it could start #idk man it just. fuckin sucks that we have such a powerful tool for shutting down dumbass controversies here but it can’t work ANYWHERE else #because everyone sees the kung pow penis and can just go ‘‘lol’’ and keep scrolling #ace screams into the void #lots of tags #vent//

my step-father, infamous for his ‘stating offensive things and then playing it’s just a joke bingo’ victim complex, got fired from his job today, apparently, because he called a senior home a mortuary in a text to his boss. you know, a totally reasonable and not at all idiotic thing to do in basically any circumstances.

#at least that was the reason they gave #very real possibility that they are using it as an excuse to avoid dealing with his recently recognized health issues #which obviously sucks and is very scummy #and i am not defending them for that at all #but there is a sense of karmic justice i am experiencing that his shitty idea of jokes had actual consequences for once #little bit of retribution for every time something he said hurt me or made me uncomfortable #he'd 'it's just a joke ): why are you so mean to me - a grown man - by not laughing and encouraging me to make more chingchong china jokes?' #annoying high pitch ringing in your ears
