Omar: After years of invasively being talked about by the public, I would like to keep my private life private at this time.

Fandom: BUT WHAT ABOUT-

#literally #omar rudberg #i love him 🤎 #and in light of today’s interview i will be refraining from calling him queer #i erroneously thought he had said that but apparently he never did #he’s just amazing. 🤎 #there. i said it. #i will also continue to refrain from talking about his private life #he said what he said a long time ago #i will focus on what he is comfortable sharing #and honestly a picture or two on Instagram or whatever doesn’t necessarily mean someone is comfortable disclosing their life story #and that’s all i’m gonna say about THAT #to conclude (lol) - he really is young and yes 24 is young #despite what tumblr and twitter say #and some of y’all continue doing the most even though he said he wants his private life private #i can’t wait for the interview on Jun 30 #we can learn even more about what he’s comfortable sharing. and it will be good. 🥰 #we continue to learn and grow #he will continue to he #and i will continue to hen #🐓🐓🐓🤎🤎🤎🔪 #stay woke fam #xoxo your local mitochondria #(of color 🤎)

I feel like I’m falling in love with Jaiden all over again. Shoutout to the ones who were there in her animations days! But also a huge welcome to all the new fans of her new content. Like it is unbelievable that a childhood hero is still reaching new audiences and people, I am so happy.

#qsmp #qsmp Jaiden #jaiden animations #I’ve been a fan of her since like 2015 #she was honestly my idol and I wanted to be just like her #her videos also held a special place in my heart as it was a locked part of my life where I truly started to learn and grow #I remember watching her videos with my friends and holding up my crush’s phone with their hand on the other side while we watched her videos #she is a huge inspiration and my love of her animations never left me #but then I fell in love with her all over again with her Pokémon videos and gaming videos #but it all came to a head when I yet again fell in love with the qsmp #she is so wonderful and amazing and I am so happy that she is still active and here #her being given these opportunities and still accumulating new fans is honestly inspiring #I hope she continues to make content that shifts into what is her at the time #I loved every phase to get us to here

sauce trying to befriend the popular twitch streamers and gamers is giving sheltered christian kid realizes their only hopes for friendship in school are the weird white boy reddit users who think slurs are comedy, and is just excited to have 'cool' friends so they'll do or say or get into anything their friends do to sound equally as smart just to be capable of saying (lying) that they have 'friends' to their mom when she asks about their day so their family doesn't think they poured all that money into a socially inept loser. instead, they poured all that money into a socially desperate parakeet

I'm definitely not the only queer person who's kinda wary of Christian ppl they encounter online right?

Like I see a profile that clearly states they're Christian and they post like Bible verses and shit and I'm just. Hoping they're not queerphobic. Or saying some dumbass shit like "hate the sin love the sinner" or whatever while pretending that's not queerphobic

If they're interacting with me first it's pretty safe to assume they're not gonna be like that bc I'm very obviously queer (🏳️‍🌈 + pronouns in bio) but if it's someone who hasn't interacted with me at all I kind of instinctively avoid interacting with them out of fear of them being that way. Y'know

#ramblings #i think it's bc even tho i've never been religious and my family isn't like a super uptight christian family #i have encountered a preacher who was homophobic and transphobic before #he's puerto rican too which just makes me disappointed in my people tbh #i grew up surrounded by a lot of accepting ppl both within and outside of the family #as well as a couple gay/trans ppl #i was always taught that that's just the way some ppl are and that we should respect that #even if we didn't fully understand everything and weren't up to date with the latest most accepted terminology and stuff #ppl were just respectful and let others be themselves #so it's extremely hard for me to understand why other ppl would be queerphobic #i mean. i kinda get it. it what they were taught growing up. just how i was taught to be accepting and respectful #but why ppl would continue to teach that to their kids and perpetuate queerphobia is really what i don't get #like. accepting that ppl different from you exist and that's ok isn't going to kill you #maybe learn abt the world from other sources besides the bible and try to see different perspectives #instead of shutting yourself off to just one way of thinking and hurting ppl in the process #anyways. i think it's also bc i've seen too many really religious ppl on the internet who are also queerphobic #and they have these big platforms of ppl who support them and share their views #and like. i shouldn't generalize. but they paint an ugly image of christians in general #also like. christians throughout history don't have the cleanest track record #but i know a lot of christians nowadays aren't like that. in fact i'm willing to say most aren't #but still it's like. better be safe than sorry y'know #idk man

Love reading your opinions on the characters and movie, it's refreshing to not see that repetitive hate and you make some good points

The discussions and others adding to that is also interesting

aww thank u anon! I just think these characters are so 3 dimensional it’s impossible to boil them down to one thing! isabela is the prissy oldest sister until you realize actually she’s not! luisa is the strong confident one until you realize no she’s not! These characters are so complex I just want to appreciate all of them!

I also love partaking in discussions and find your guys perspective interesting! It’s fun to dissect these characters and this story!

#encanto #encanto disney #disneys encanto #even the characters w 2 mins of screentime arent one note! #I love the characters so much #I truly believe the thing people want to see most in a potential continuation is characters and their interactions with eachother! #the movie has created such interesting dynamics and there’s still ones that haven’t been explored! #cough mirabel and camilo #cough dolores and Antonio #cough agustin and isabela #like me personally I do not want some half assed villain to take the magic if it means that’s the whole plot #like I would much rather a slice of life stuff #give me bruno learning to cook to bond with julieta! #give me grandkid sleepovers! #(we were robbed of the sisters sleepover concept) #give me alma growing and learninf but still having setbacks because healing from trauma isn’t a linear process!

I'm off today. All I can think about is the breakup text. Even in this message, he was vague about why. What are "some [petty] things" that my reactions are too much for? Why did you praise me for being "a real person," then dump me for 'overreacting' to things you're not even going to name and never tried to talk to me about?

Were you just pretending to be ok with my opinions as long as you got someone to hang out with and kiss? Did you really think that was sustainable for a long-term relationship?

I know everyone's been through this sort of thing before, but it's only my second breakup, and the first one was mutual. It's baffling. I'm such an open book in person. I assumed that if I said something offensive or questionable, we would just talk about it, like adults do. That's how it works in my family, and with most of my friends. Is that too much to ask? Is it really so hard to just be yourself and deal with the fallout?

#personal #pers com #gonna try not to mope too much but it may still occur #I put so much of myself into this relationship guys I was so excited #I'm not blind I knew we had disagreements and issues and I knew there were turning points passing by #but I thought that he was the sort of person who was interested in continuing to learn and grow #and he just isn't. #my sister called it a boomer mentality and she's lowkey right

mayday, mayday!

#in no way do I think tumblr is going down anytime soon #but i’ve realized I’ve always had an naive sort of idea that tumblr would be a constant in my life and forever evolve as I grow #it is just that intertwined with the way i use the internet. i have been here nearly every day since a month after i turned twelve #like i hope this isn’t pathetic to admit but this place was and is a cornerstone of my adolescence #tumblr is my word of mouth. it is my fandom home base. it is my diary sometimes #and it’s not that I can’t learn to use another platform. it’s that the continuity is important to me #my blog is a stream of every love and passion and obsession of my entire teenage hood and as of now the beginning of my adulthood #the thought of having to move somewhere new and break off from this massive and fundamental chunk of my life is hugely upsetting #not to mention my mutuals! and everyone I follow! it’s impossible to round everyone up again if. god forbid. we all have to leave here #and of course blah blah blah everything in life is temporary learn to accept change yada yada #but it’s been part of me long enough where i have a hard time picturing how i could even go about leaving this behind #anyway. nothing bad is happening yet. I’ll stay here until it breaks entirely #blither blather bother

so i work in the produce department of a food co-op n its a pretty huge co-op (u probably know exactly which one i work at if u know literally anything abt me cuz its pretty famous n successful) in the central valley of california so like. we get SO MUCH FRUIT. SO MUCH. cuz we are partnered with dozens of local farmers and because its stone fruit season like, theres always new shit to try. so a big part of my job is spent standing in the back with my coworkers n slicing up peaches n plums n melons n sharing them with each other. n one of my coworkers was like man food always tastes better when im trying it at work, like when i take it home to eat its never as good. and i was like yknow its probably because youre standing here, taking a break from work, and sharing it with people u rly like (another blessing is that our dept is very tight knit) n everyone was like man that's so true ive never realized that. n im moving in a few months and i gotta say i really will always appreciate how much of my job was just. slicing up fruit and handing it to people i care about with a smile. ill miss that. n even just providing locally grown organic food (some of which is certified regenerative which is rly cool n i love talking to ppl abt how regenerative organic farming is sooo important for climate change) to the people who live in the valley ive spent my whole life in. i wldve enjoyed making a career at this co-op but unfortunately im too disabled + the moving thing but yeah. meditating on the good things abt my job cuz im abt to go clock in LMAO

#like theres a lot of shit stuff abt my job. like any job. but the basics of it r like really chill #n i have learned sooo much abt farming and food and growing processes and stuff #Everything we serve hot at the deli and everything in produce department is all organic which like yeah 'organic' is whatever #but i do know that pesticides and herbicides only encourage species to learn to adapt to them which will be #an increasing issue as climates continue to warm. but also its rly fucking expensive n hard to feed people when ur only #using organic growing practices. BUT WHATEVER. i see both sides #but like all our meat n stuff is local which is SUPER IMPORTANT and really awesome #im just thankful. like its never perfect but im glad i work at a place that is Really Trying at its core #and co-ops are fucking cool. i love when things are employee/community owned. period

#our flag means death ?? your stupid starbucks frappes ?? disney cause you dont know how to grow up and let things go ?? #youre all children who never learned how to face the world #our msa is organizing a walkout i asked people to spread the word i asked my friends if they would join #and they said noooo idts. i have stuff to do. and i have to sit there with a strained smile like. ok! i understand ! #but theres a limit to how much understanding i have for you when you have not done a SINGLE THING. #no sharing info. no listening to palestinian voices. no listening to the fucking news or the history of this genocide. #no donations. no talking about it. no action. no protesting. no global striking. continuing to buy from the companies we ASKED u to boycott #and when its handed to you on a silver platter from all the days of nothing you did now you have stuff to do? #where are your fucking priorities. why do you think this has nothing to do with you #why do you think this has nothing to do with you ??????? #that you cant spare even five seconds for the littlest thing because YOUR life is that much more important ?????? #hanancouldyounot

[toge-bi]

as much that i think camelworks is like, really fucking annoying and hate how he makes and structures his videos and writes also, i DO like the actual like barebones content and research he does even if i don't agree with ALL of his conclusions. all of this to say that they are DEFINITELY sacrificing the blood of the fertile in rorikstead. part of my beliefs now and forever

#🌱 #calling it a “headcanon” feels dumb when there's SOOOOO MUCH CANON EVIDENCE to support it and we KNOW that they cut god knows how much #content out of the game so like. it seems so much like there was going to be some sort of quest or something probably about sissel #this save i think i'm going to eventually kill lemkil and adopt her and like ethically i want to adopt britte too but like. i think that #in game she still like will continue to verbally abuse sissel no matter what so it's like. within the confines of this sandbox where she #can't learn and grow it's probably just best if i don't #tes

Domino: The Lamb

cw cults, infanticide, abuse, etc

Domino was born into a cult. A particular cult whose goal is to make powerful demonic beings. A more recent practice of theirs is to summon a demon into newborn children, with several failed attempts leading up to Domino's birth. Previously the cult members were trying to infuse a stronger, more mature demon into the infants, but the power was too strong for the young vessels. With Domino's indoctrination, his father decided to summon a lesser demon to try and see if the two could grow stronger together without overpowering and killing the child. This made Domino the first success in the newborn trials. As the first sire of the Chosen One, Domino's father gained esteem and a higher position within the cult. This was a huge success so Domino was seen as untouchable Golden Child and they are pleased to learn they have been blessed by a demon of the Electrical Realm.

Domino was never truly loved by his father. He was merely a vessel and a lot of pressure was put on him a young age, testing his demonic abilities and strengths. The older Domino gets, his father starts to fear that he's not progressing as rapidly as he should and he doesn't want to lose his status in the cult. Perhaps the only impressive part of Domino's trials was that he managed to survive, and as time ticks on the other members in the cult are expecting more from him than mere sparks and static electricity. More children have been born since and have now had more obvious results with their possessions. The shine of their Golden Child was starting to wear off.

Over the years his father increased the intensity of the tests, putting him in more and more dangerous situations to get a reaction from the demon inside his son. The demon was starting to defy the father in an attempt to protect Domino from the brutal tests. Being with his host from such a young age for both of them, the demon formed a powerful bond with Domino.

Domino's father as well as others in the community start to think Domino is not deserving of his status after a decade, but as the first success they can't take that away from him... unless...? Can we kill him? Hmm..

The father devises a plan. He claims to have had a vision and must sacrifice his Firstborn (this is a surprise tool to use for later) to the cause. He uses a ritual dagger and treats him like a sacrificial lamb. The light goes out of his eyes and he dies... for a moment. The ritual killing didn't take, it turns out. Interesting! But the onlooking cult members see this as a Miracle! He was the Chosen One! Not only did they make a successful vessel, they also made an unkillable one! :) 👍

This was lauded as a great success and for a while set the skepticism back, business as usual once again. But as Domino still showed resistance and restraint in his powers, there were whispers that maybe the miracle was all a setup. It seemed very convenient that the father would have a vision about his own son just when people were starting to question the validity of his status. Sure they saw the ritual killing but the timing of it all, you know. 🤷‍♂️

They figure that since he is unkillable after all, then it shouldn't be a problem to test it again. The father is fine with this since he was secretly trying to get rid of him anyway, either way works for him. So time and time again, the lamb was led to slaughter. And he survived!

The cult believes that due to the circumstances of Domino's birth and indoctrination, fusing a youngling demon to an infant, is what made him strong enough to come back from the dead. However, unbeknownst to them, its the particular combination of host and demon is what led to this. When other demons are presented with the idea that they don't need their hosts, they would take the opportunity to break away. But Domino's demon truly cares for his welfare, and loves him very much. Their souls are fused and intertwined in such a way (it's messy in there) that he'd do anything to protect him and keep him alive. And so he did.

In the last test that his father would ever do, he gets more and more frustrated with Domino, sensing that he'd like to run away from the cult, and snaps. Enraged, he grabs Domino forcefully and screams in his face, not at all like the gentle facade he put on during the sacrificial ceremonies.

He tells Domino that he's good for nothing and that no one in the outside world would love him like he does, and that you should be grateful for the status that you have here. You're a disgrace, and I will find a way to kill you that'll stick. Frightened at all of this coming out of seemingly nowhere, Domino can't handle it and blacks out, going limp for only a moment before the demon takes over.

Years of all the brutal rigorous testing and the multiple attempts on Domino's life while making a spectacle out of his perceived immortality built up and the demon refuses to take it anymore. Bolts of lighting begin to materialize from Domino's hands that his father was proud to see, if only they weren't aimed directly at him. In his final moments he smiles smugly and utters that is the promise that he wanted to see. But the demon was not about to give him the satisfaction, he would not allow him to bathe in that accomplishment. The bolts of lighting let loose upon that fucker and kills him!

With the father dead, the demon is worn out from the mass exertion of energy and is unable to fully protect Domino from a few burns as the forest around them is now caught aflame. But he is alive. He is free.

TO BE CONTINUED

#original characters #whorror movie #domino #oc backstory #ramblings #long post #SORRY We didn't actually to be continue this yet it's So much #later events go as follows: dom's mother leaves (scared of him) and the cult essentially abandons him after his fathers death #his grandma takes him and and raises him. he scares other kids in the outside world and is still isolated in a major way. grandma (a witch) #does a spell to set the demon into rest mode basically so hopefully he can have a little normal childhood still. failed. grows up anyway. #a homophobe tries to beat him up after catching him cruising with another young man. the demon awakens and kills for Dom for the second tim #the demon is back and he's sooo protective of Domino (<- is in love with him). And now Domino has learned to live like this!
