#we're back to it's bad writing)

[toytulini]

listen im ace and im pro kink at pride and whatever, but the way some of yall are wording your posts in response to the backlash against it is uh. really taking me back to the ace shitcourse era.

yall know theres nothing wrong with being a "virgin", right? that its not inherently shameful to have not had sex, to never have sex, even if youre not ace, even if you do want to have sex someday, like, its fine that you haven't had sex?

maybe if your problem is that theyre trying to police your behavior and shame you for expressing your sexuality, you can say that? instead of resorting to "haha stupid virgin gets no bitches" like my god. do you not hear how fucking regressive that attitude is? i know, i know, youre "joking".

get a better joke

#toy txt post #god im going to regret this post im gonna regret it so much i can feel it in my bones #let it flop..........pls #internalize my message let it sink in and understand what i am saying and then let the post flop #i say. knowing the ppl who need to see such a message are the ones who will make me regret this post and regrwt not having #1 million bajillion disclaimers #virgin is in quotes bc its a bullshit made up stupid purity culture concept anyway and quite frankly i hate even seeing the word #disclaimer: the previous sentence is not me saying that it is a slur for asexuals. it is me a single individual saying this specific word #grosses me out to read and see everywhere when its a stupid bullshit binary made up or at least historically largely used #to shame largely women and i dont know why we're still using it in 2023 #and ive just been. seeing such an uptick in this whole like. attitude? lately and like #im ace im minorly sex repulsed. mostly about anything sex at me bad. other adults sex at each other consensually? go wild #i like to think im pretty chill about it. i try to be. i think its fine ig to be like 'my meat is huge i fuck so much so good' #like okay not my thing but good for you. love that for you #but then some of yall have started turning it back around back to. 'haha your meat so small and shriveled you get no bitches' #'haha stupid incel virgin' like okay. didnt realize we all went back to fucking. middle school but okay #god im gonna run out of tine to get ready for my thing writing this stupid post UGH evil #but like idk we've kinda circled back to being like haha being a virgin still is stupid and silly and shameful #and if im quite honest. i do think the acecourse played a part in that bc i felt like we were making good progress in like #hey guys is fine to not have sex ever if you dont want to its fine to not want sex its fine #and then aphobes went fucking rabid on us and splintered and destroyed online communities all over but especially on tumblr #and so many aces went back in the closet we stopped talking about it we stopped spreading awareness and now this stupid goddamn like #and now this stupid bullshit attitude is back where its like funny to call someone a virgin as an insult but like no bro trust me its okay #its okay for me to do it bc im a hot queer person with huge meat instead of a cisstraight frat bro with huge meat #? like you know the issue was the behavior right? not the fact that it was straight dudes saying it? its bc the thing being said was shitty? #you know you can dunk on the puritan bitches trying to police your behavior at pride without getting us as collateral damage right #stop making me read that stupid ugly ass word ur not cool or funny #whatever #if you come on to this post to start shit i will not only block you but as many of your mutuals and followers as i can find. i will scroll #i will block this entire fucking website if i need to do not test me. i am exhausted and the acecourse ate up all my tolerance in 2015.

THE funniest take I saw about yellowjackets so far was that the ambiguity of the wilderness is "laziness" on the writers' part and that it is "clear" the writers "can't decide if there is something out there or not." Hello? Are nuance and ambiguity and lack of brightline answers engaging storytelling? No, it's bad writing. Did Jonas survive in the end of The Giver? Was Nick 's perspective trustworthy in The Great Gatsby? Was Will Graham a good guy? Are the characters in Squid game? Idk, it wasn't blended up and fed to me gerber style so I can't tell.

Is something controlling the girls? Are they doing everything entirely themselves and pretending it's something else because they are just evil? Are they trying to survive and they assuage their guilt with the idea that something is making these decisions, not them? Is it somewhere in between?

Thank you Lottie Yellowjackets for stating the fucking thesis, "Does it matter?"

#yellowjackets #did I pick like middle school books for my comparisons? yes because apparently we gotta go back to 8th grade eng lit #today we're gonna google 'what is a morally grey character?' #'does a writer automatically condone the actions of their characters if they don't have someone go ''hey thats bad''' #'what are the themes of books like lolita' #'what does ambiguity mean' #'wikihow think for myself' #y'all can hate characters or not like the show but themes like grey areas and unreliable narrators and morally reprehensible protagonists #are not automatically signs of ''bad writing''

White Jason Todd stans will always tell you that he has no well-written romances with girls in canon so i believed them and followed along with them saying he should be with Roy until i actually read his comics and found out literally all his female love interests have been woc

#the closest thing to him liking a white girl is artemis but even then she's a dick situation where she's a poc but dc won't write her as one #but back on topic I FUCKING SEE YOU WITH MY BIG BROWN BIRACIAL EYES!!!!LOWER YOUR VOICE IT'S ANNOYING AS SHIT #especially because roy himself had a woc as his biggest romance(jade)and rhato deblackafied kory to the max along with overs*xualizing her #we get it you hate seeing colorful girls in your perfect white stories but that's too bad for you because we're canonically jason's type💖 #either appreciate him as he actually is or keep his name out of your mouth and rose's artemis' and dana's too.step off!!! #jason todd #pro jason todd #roy harper #roy harper deserves better #rose wilson #pro rose wilson #artemis grace #pro artemis grace #dana harlowe #dana harlowe defense squad #jayrose #jaytemis #jaydana #batfam #arrowfam #teen titans #wonderfam #rhato #the outlaws #poly outlaws #< as in jason and the girls + eddie and kyle #and as per always my jason is a bi trans man who's black/latino and autistic/adhd/mdd #egyptian artemis grace #i'm black tag #letters from summer

What reads/videos would you recommend that explain chara's relationship with the player more clearly for monkey brained folk like me? I'm gonna admit my reading comprehension is not the best and I'm having trouble understanding the meta aspect of it (mostly why chara doesn't fight back during the geno route if they really care for monsterkind that much). I'm 100% being dumb rn but you have to be dumb to be smart

i don't trust youtube with chara. at all. defenders and offenders. though tbh i dont trust youtube with UTDR in general.

andrew cunningham had an old written essay about them from way back that hit almost every metanarrative point i also share. the only thing i personally disagree with is his thesis that those points are non syncretizable. i personally see chara as a more fluid, dymanic character compared to rest of the cast in function of their role as player proxy; all 3 readings that he proposes are ways to accomodate it diegetically, within the story, and not. the essay's linked in his discord server, if you want to check it out!

#i'm not sure if we're meant to share those links outside the server but if you jump in and fetch em yourself i doubt it's gonna be a problem #he sent me the link a while back when i asked about it and he was cringing at his old writing style so bad LMAO. i thought it was cute :] #whenever i read his essays without his voice and video editing in the bg he reminds me a lot of how pre fame toby fox wrote #answered asks

Listen! Tharn has horrific trust issues and doesn't trust anyone, not just Phaya okay!

Like he clearly doesn't even trust Yai and the Abbot because of his issues! Because yes he knows Yai, basically his brother, believes Phaya would rather die than hurt Tharn so much he flat out told Phaya he can't die cause he already gave him Tharn to protect. And yes he knows the Abbot, who raised him, has continuously told him he needs to fully trust Phaya will take care of him. But he has trust issues okay! Those just don't go away! He can't just trust Phaya okay!

Though he does trust Chalothon and thinks he's a good guy. Even when he knew about Phaya's dreams that only Tharn knew about and basically accused Phaya of losing his mind, clinically, in front of everyone at their work at a crime scene. But it obviously makes complete sense he trusts him implicitly and never questions anything cause he's known him his whole life! That's not something you can just throw aside for some boyfriend, soulmate or not, you know!

But then, wait...why doesn't he trust Yai and the Abbot the same?

But I'm glad he knows Chalothon is the problem now. Sucks for him about everything because of it. Hope it works out for him in the one remaining episode. Don't really care either way anymore regardless.

#the sign #the sign the series #the writing hasn't been good for awhile #the story hasn't been cohesive for almost as long #the romance has not been portrayed well at all #besides to tell us they're fated soulmates that spent one past life together #(I know the book mentions other lives but as I've said beore the book is not the show #and if you have to fill in holes and backstory with the book that means the show is a piss poor adaption sooo #we're back to it's bad writing) #this show is surviving on the strength of the chemistry of Billy and Babe #and the skill of all the supporting characters nailing their roles #which is fine I've watched a lot of bad but entertaining shit in my day #truthfully I like that most #but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills the way this show is being praised as perfect #because ummm #this is only friends all over for me so maybe I just don't get shit IDK lol #regular clyde

okay, so this is gonna be my ONLY post to make about this bc i wasnt planning on talking about anything in regards to shit that happened in privacy, but it's being blasted publicly and my friends are getting involved so i'm just gonna make this my one and only PSA because this is irritating with what i'm learning.

if people have a problem with me, PLEASE talk to me. do not go to my friends on anon to twist words up about me. i'm learning that multiple friends and mutuals of mine are getting asks about this when they have no part in this and that shouldn't be happening to begin with. so i want to state this for anybody who has gotten shit in their inbox.

as for the situation that's happening on the other side of Tumblr right now, i have had zero part in it and i intend to keep it that way. it's not my business. for anyone who's familiar with the "drama" being talked about is being stirred by one person and i have expressed in privacy that i was not comfortable with how any of this is being handled nor did i think it was right. i don't care about the situation itself, but the anger and venomous reactions to talking about it is what concerned me. it was not about the person nor was it about the crimes and victims, i was not okay with the name-dropping and stirring of drama about someone.

i'm not taking sides nor do i plan on "stating my case" or anything like that. i'm not involved, and it's not my place to talk. it's a situation that does not involve me and should not involve anyone else because of how much it's been blown out of proportion. so please do not group my friends and mutuals together as them automatically taking sides; guilt by association is a shitty thing to assume and is not a correct way to go with situations like this.

i don't know why my name is being pulled into this mess when i've asked before to NOT be dragged, and i apologize to any mutuals who have had the displeasure of seeing this constantly being posted, but i have to due to friends getting asks about me already (for some fucking reason). if you have gotten asks and want to ask what it's about, i will GLADLY tell you in honesty and with what i've said. i will gladly talk shit out one on one and share screenshots of what i have said.

right now, my main focus is writing and doing threads here. it will NEVER be about drama nor will i post about it. this is the only time i will post because it is now my problem to address as it is involving multiple friends of mine getting harassing anonymous users spreading rumors. i don't condone that kind of behavior and i will speak up if it affects ME or FRIENDS of mine.

i will not name drop or talk about this further, but if you wish to know more, PLEASE come talk to me. if you receive anon asks accusing you of shit, i apologize on their behalf for assuming shit about you as it is not deserving to lump people together like that. but please please please talk to me if something comes up and you have a problem with me or with situations going on. thank you.

So, I wish to gently put this reminder out here, because we find that we've been in this position once more where there's a high activity of stalking by our perpetrator who we knew from the rpc since February 4--- last time we read her being tracked on November 12 - 14 last year--- I am highly uncomfortable to interact with a muse who have a history of manipulation and / or especially stalking. I do believe muse =/= mun and I am okay to talk and read about manipulation and stalking, but while providing trigger tag + warning of them would be most appreciated to give me the chance of building mental preparation to read them, we prefer not to plot and write with that kind of character for our comfort and wellbeing. At the very least, I'd still like to be in touch with the mun out of character and / or interact with their different muse, if they have any, instead. Thank you so much. ♡

Getting any documentation done in California is like going to subway, but instead of just writing the prices of all the sandwiches on the board and letting you decide what you can and can't afford, the guy tells you specifically that your sandwich will cost X amount.

But it doesn't.

What he's doing is telling you how much the bread cost. If you want a sandwich (you know, that thing you came in for) then he'll gladly let you pick out the meats and salads and sauces, and then tell you how much it actually costs at the till.

That may not seem like a big deal to most people, but it offends me in a way I can't seem to properly articulate. Why would I walk into a subway for bread? I can buy that anywhere. Why did you tell me a baguette was a sandwich? It's not. The bread does not make the sandwich. All the pieces when assembled make the sandwich.

What you gave me were the bare bones of the product you were selling, and when I was already committed to playing out this farce, you then hit me with hidden fees that added up to the real price of the sandwich.

#I don't wanna keep bitching about CA and its many laws #but again this would not happen back home #I would ask for a policy #it would give me a list of options #tell me exactly what was included in each one #and then let me make an informed decision of what I wanted #with the prices all laid out to best accommodate my finances #CA does not do this #it wants to drag out a pretty simply questionnaire over the course of a week #tell me what I'm entitled to #and then keep me hostage on the phone while they take a decade to explain what I actually signed #but making it sound like its the best system because they tell you the bad news politely #this kinda embodies what I appreciate about british customer service #we don't do fake pleasantries. because we're miserable as fuck #but also because we get straight to the fucking point #this is the thing. this is everything in writing what the thing is. this is the price we promised you. do you want it? #if not I don't care. I don't get paid enough to care

i am asking you about the stoker swap au. 👁👁

there's many a post discussing it in the "stoker swap au" tag on my blog if you want more info but basically danny survives his would-be strangering and goes on to work at the institute while tim remains at his publishing job, stressed that his younger brother is working at said institute after having lied about his qualifications and also as he learns more and more about how unsafe the place is to work at. it's a fix-it fic i'm in the process of writing but idk if it'll be posted but i do post art of it occasionally.

#fg's answers #asks #tma #stoker swap au #i wish i thought about the au more so i could Write It More #because i like it!! it's fun!! but it's a long fic and it's so hard to write something that long.... #i could post the current chapters but then i'd feel bad because We're Still In The Early Days. i'm establishing the new dynamics #and also Danny's Character In General #we're in research days it's not even s1 yet #so little has happened and idk if i'd wanna go back and change things #aaaa #long-winded writers rise up im. suffering. help.

Honestly? Been feeling a little lonely today ngl

#vent.tea #I didn't want to say anything about this tbh because everything has been mostly normal but #It's nothing on here and really all irl stuff because my fiancè and I were supposed to be hanging out since I was busy yesterday #And we started hanging out but then he got a text and got on his computer for something and kinda just left me alone for an hour or so #and I was trying to not be upset over it because I know he wanted to work on programming but it was the fact that we were hanging out #and he just hardlocked on his programming and then came back out with a headache. #And this happens so often nowadays and he feels bad afterwards but I never want to pull him away from it #because then he'll just be on discord talking about programming with his friends the whole time we're hanging out. #And I get it. There are times me and my friends spend all day talking but he's made comments about me being on my phone #so I thought. You know. He'd try a little harder to not get pulled into it when we promised we'd hang out together. #Ugh I'm sorry. I normally don't talk about this kind of stuff and I never like bringing my irl sad emotions onto this blog but. #I don't know. Just that gross lonely feeling that's kinda settled on me. #I'll be okay eventually. Convince myself to draw or write something. That does usually cheer me up tbh. #I'll delete this later. Just needed an outlet to get these feelings out.
