(Talking to our 9.5 y.o. the other night and explaining that he’s going to start CCD so he can make his 1st Communion.)
Me: So, you’re gonna start CCD soon…
9.5 y.o.: Why?
Me: well, so you can make your Holy Communion.
9.5 y.o.: What’s that?
Me: Well, it’s a sacrament because you’re Catholic. If you’d stayed in Catholic school, you would’ve already made it.
Husband: yeah, you already have one because you were baptized, but you’re, like, 2 behind.
9.5 y.o.: 🤔🤔
Me: Daddy’s right. Normally by now you would’ve already made Reconciliation and Holy Communion. There are 7 sacraments and Daddy and I have already received 5: baptism, reconciliation, holy communion, confirmation, and holy matrimony because we were married in the church.
Husband: we won’t get the 6th one for awhile because it’s last rites. You get that when you die.
9.5 y.o.: 🤔🤔
Me: we won’t get the last one though. That’s holy orders. Daddy would have to become a priest or I’d have to become a nun to receive that sacrament.
9.5 y.o.: 🤔🤔
9.5 y.o.: so, why don’t you just become a nun for a day so you can get the achievement and then just quit?
Me & husband:
Me & husband: It’s doesn’t….work…like that. They’re not achievements like in a video game….
9.5 y.o.:
9.5 y.o.: but why don’t you just become a nun for one day, get the thing and quit?
Me & husband: 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
9.5 y.o: i don’t want to be Catholic.

unskippable youtube ads for horror movies should be outlawed holy crap. i don't care that 'think of the kids' is considered a meme, nobody should be forced to get bombarded with blood curdling screams and disturbing flashing images with no warning when trying to watch parks and rec clips wtf

Cis ppl will really see a character that's explicitly only ever referred to with it/its pronouns (and at one point is called a they), has one sibling that's called "the gendered child" by the mother of said child (implying that her other children are genderless and she's an exception), and has literally had the game devs say that it's genderless, and still call it "he" and treat it as male

"they're releasing so many new transformers figures each year it's hard to even find all of them for a complete collection" glad to know we're on two very different tax brackets. Where's your house btw?

idk why frankie saying their pronouns makes me smile like a dork. i think it's bc i've seen so many shows where characters automatically know if someone's non-binary (nothing wrong with that! not saying it's bad!) so frankie explicitly going "my pronouns are they/them" just. feels like a nice little human touch. ;w;

the worst part about finding more and more about totk that i dont like is that ... it seems like one of my biggest fears is going to become true; all of my previous hyperfixations died because a new thing of the franchise came out and i didnt like it, turned that strange, perhaps unhealthy, love and attachment into disappointment and sadness
and im afraid thats happening to zelda right now, the one hyperfixation i hoped could last or at the very least i would just grow slowly away from in a good way
if it was just totk that i didnt like, tho its hard to see all the love people have for it and just ... feel the opposite about it, it would be fine (heck i really disliked links awakening but ultimately i just regret spending so much money on it, it didnt impact my feelings about the rest of the franchise) but because it diminishes everything about botw too .. a game that i still love deeply, its not fine
aside from me not liking anything they did with the zonau, it basically steamrolled botw too, damn near ignoring it ever happened, cramming in zonau stuff where it wasnt before just so its literally everywhere, taking its mysterious and answerign them in boring ways, implying that stuff i loved so much about botw was yet just another zonau thing (the three dragons possibly having been zonau ..........the ancient hero mystery being .. that.......) people basically claiming as fact that its somehow slammed into the old timeline despite it making no sense nor has any evidence aside from some names that happened to be used once before or them saying whats the point of ever looking at botw again bc totk does everything "better" ...
you cant ignore it really, even if i try to ignore what i dont like, i know whats revealed in totk, and others know it too.
and in turn it all makes me go back to that strange self hatred i thought i had finally left behind, the why do i care so much, its stupid to care so much about a piece of media i have no control about anyway, whats the point of caring so much, you have wasted so much time and effort and thought and tears about something like this, why are you so weird, why cant you just be like everyone else and love it all, why are you like this,
stop being like this.
knowing i cant stop being like this, fearing from the start it might happen just like it has so many times, that i fall in love with a piece of media so much that when it gets a new thing that i dont like but affects every aspect of it it all flips into anger first, then disappointment and sadness and in end into wishing i wasnt weird like this, knowing i cant change it ... and it turning out true

Is it bad that I'm disappointed that Yuri and Girls Love gets very high praise but Yaoi and Boys Love is always being degraded as "Fetishistic" and "Disgusting"?
Don't get me wrong, Yuri & GL isn't an issue at all, in fact I'm glad it's widely accepted. I just hate that BL gets so much shit from everyone. Everyone's ok with wlw rep, but God forbid gay/bi men have anything in the way of representation.
