#why are people like that

[jewish-culture-is]

Jewish culture is not trusting people who are morally against circumcision

And people who are like "haha G-D won't be mad if you eat a pig"

Or people who call deities "imaginary friends" in order to mock religion

Went on reddit last night, looked for LBFaD discussions.

I'm tired. I'm angry, but I'm also tired.

Gonna rant in tags.

#like okay a show is subjective #it can be hit and miss #i know this #and characters can be hit and miss #i also know this (very very well as the weirdo who thinks Yunzhong could have been a better emperor if he just got some) #(and Ronghao should have got grief counselling because then almost all the bad stuff would *never* have happened) #but if i see one more criticism of Yu Shuxin i'm gonna scream #she's playing a character #she's an actress #they're ALL actors #they're ALL playing characters #why were there so many people conflating the two #and then there were the really nasty personal insults of some of the actors that i read with my own two eyeballs #everyone has their favourites but to go out in public and insult - not just the characters - but the actors playing them??? #why are people like that #was it too much to expect intelligent discussion #i mean objectively i can make myself see some of the points made #but i got real tired real quick of reading the same things over and over #i don't know if the rejection of Orchid is cultural or if we've just been conditioned to 'despise' certain portrayals of femininity? #when i first watched LBFaD i was SO into it #but then i think i implicitly understood what the dynamics between Orchid and DFQC were supposed to be and i absolutely loved them #to me they were the embodiment of persephone and hades #and the development of Orchid's relationship with DFQC is exactly everything i ever headcanoned that particular greek myth would be like #in the end these are actors who took risks and made decisions with their director about how to perform their characters #and i appreciate the risks they took because they would have *known* these were Risks in terms of audience reception #anyway #after emerging from reddit feeling sadder #angrier #and like i needed a bath to wash it all off #i'm reminded once more why i *do* prefer this hellsite better than others

[achoirofcritters]

why do people go out of their way to be unkind lmao

it doesn't make any sense to me, like y'all can choose not to be rude about something that brings another person a spark of happiness in this very very bad world

#this is deeper than squishmallows it's literally about 'why was that your impulse' #to make a comment about something that doesn't have anything to do with you #in a really rude way #why are people like that #text #clearly wasn't the focus of the post #just enjoy the cute cat jfc

[mrpicasso-face]

The words rolled down my back

Like cold slugs

Leaving a trail of discomfort in their wake.

This can't be how you meant

For those to hit me,

Right?

Why is it that every time

Someone has such a thought

It is accompanied by the incessant

Need

To give it voice?

I know they were raised that way.

I mean,

I was raised the same.

But surely,

We've grown enough

To ignore such things.

Okay I feel like I'm complaining a lot lately and I'm sorry, I don't want to be like this but I just don't get it.

I received a comment on one of my stories that I hadn't updated in months. And the comment was very motivating, short but they let me know just how much they like the story and I actually ended up writing a new chapter within the next week.

No reaction on the new chapter and I'm just sitting here not getting it.

I don't know. Maybe I'll get another comment when it once again takes me months to update the story?

But why not comment when you read the chapter? I mean usually my muse decides which story to work on but there are occassions I want to write but don't know on which story and in that case I usually go by popularity of the story. The less comments a story gets the less likely it is that I force myself to sit down and work on it.

I don't know. I just don't get it. And it makes me kinda sad. And it's not like we're talking about indepth paragarphs of comments here, I get that those take time and need to be done when you have the time. I get that, I write those comments on stories and it takes a lot of time and often at least one reread of the chapter.

I'm talking about the "great story, liked the new chapter can't wait for the next one" comments. Which I love and appreciate just as much. I just like reactions and to me a kudos isn't much of a reaction. It's a "this story's alright and I'll read it but it's not good enough to use words to tell the author how I feel about it." And that might be unfair but it's just how I feel.

Now I'm wondering if I'm the only one who feels that way about kudos. Let me know your thoughts on them.

I guess my rant is done and I'm going to try and get my as out of the self-pity zone it is currently in and into doing something productive.

Can't bring myself to write though...

#writing comments #fanfiction writer #ongoing stories #new chapters #comments #i just want feedback in words #kudos are not feedback #ao3 kudos #why are people like that #why do i even care #need for validation sucks #is my writing any good #why do people not care enough to comment #writing can be so frustrating #writing fanfiction is so thankless at times #why am i in such weird mood right now #a comment makes a writer's week #comments motivate #comments inspire #fanfiction comments #like it? use your words and let me know #i don't get offeneded unless you purposely offend me and got notjing nice to say #i lovethe debates and exchanges in the comment section of ao3

(just venting)

#WHY are people like that #I had a fun hiking trip planned for Saturday #But I also decided to call a relative with a silly little 'how was your week' question on Friday #She decided to RANDOMLY (we were talking about something completely different) start a topic that gives me so much anxiety #And she knows it #It's 4am now #I should be up at 6am to get to the bus to the mountains on time #And to be able to actually do the whole trip during the day #But guess what #I had not even a moment of sleep #And I guess that not getting a full night sleep before a 17km hike is not really a good idea #I was so excited for that trip #But now I am just tired #And I can't sleep #Good thing is that I lost just money for that one bus which was relatively cheap #Bad thing is that I also bought a fucking plane ticket to my home country for August and now I don't want to even talk to my family. #I hate it all so much

Actually, I already regret having 248 followers. People started sending me weird asks (that I try to delete instead of answering) and post mean comments and tags on my stuff.

Literally what the fuck.

The wildest shit happened at work today

Just for context, I work at one of those Starbucks kiosks inside of Target.

This guy comes in saying that he mobile ordered two drinks - we don't do mobile orders here, so that couldn't have happened. He then backtracked saying that he had called ahead of time and paid for drinks over the phone - again, would not have happened - people would have just told him to come in. We told him that we couldn't make the drinks without a receipt (he wanted complicated drinks too - a caramel frap and a blended white mocha) and he started yelling at us, asking to talk to a manager.

We called one over and he left before she got there, so we assumed he was just giving up. Then - like 20 minutes later - he comes back and goes 'this is ridiculous. I've been waiting forever'. And it was like 'sir, you literally left the store'.

And so, man starts yelling at us about how his wife is 6 months pregnant and she just wants a drink. The guy working with me made it for him just so he would leave.

We thought that was the end of it

But, like 30 minutes later, this woman comes up with the drink, saying that 'her friend bought her the drink, but it wasn't what she wanted, so we needed to remake it'. First of all 'friend', not 'husband', so 'pregnant wife' was a complete and total lie. She was significantly less belligerent, but still very rude tbh.

We called over a manager though and she talked to her and basically went, 'your friend came in and was yelling at us to make a drink that he didn't pay for and we made it just so he would leave, so we won't be remaking the drink.' And then she left and I really hope that they don't come back lol

#its just like #the audacity to do that #like honestly #if he had been nice about it #i might have made a drink for him #not a fucking Frappuccino #but like i would have done a drink #but he was so on the defensive from the start and being so rude about it #i like making coffee and stuff #but like... #why are people like that #apparently hes tried this before though #but like literally contrast this with the guy who i made a drink for and then went 'oh im so sorry i meant to ask for almond milk #its fine though you dont need to remake it.' #and because he was polite about it #i was like #'nah no worries i can do that' #like be nice to me and i will literally give you whatever you want

oh my god in 4x07 santana makes a reference to pretty little liars, which means that show exists in the glee universe

but in 4x02 shay mitchell makes a brief cameo as a girl that jake hits on

why  didnt anyone comment on it?? why didnt they pause the whole show in the middle of a song to look at the camera and question why this random  mckinley student looks like emily fields?? it just doesnt make sense!!

context:

#glee #why are people like that #like who cares #they just look like who they are #there are guest stars in like every fucking show #do you not know how shows work #mine #anyway i just wanted to comment on santana mentioning pll #but #i have to complain #about 7 year old glee confessions posts

Peace and love

#pink posts #i saw a tweet that was like “i see other people's art” --> i get discouraged #i understand that seeing art that is prettier than yours can be discouraging but why not twist that a bit? #why does it look prettier to you? is it the colors #is it the textures they used? the brushes? #study them and try to put your spin on it #and maybe you'll find your art beautiful as well

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

i think we should remind musicians they can absolutely make up little stories for their songs btw. it doesn’t have to be about them at all. you can invent a guy and put him in situations to music. time honoured tradition in fact.

#i love reading your examples! however next person to be like um actually this exists?? it’s on sight #i know it exists. i think it’s fun. that’s why i think more people should do it. #sometimes i think the confessional style loses impact because everything has to be excavated from the depths of the soul #and somehow. confessional writing seems to be going with the most disaffected bland sound possible. odd. #i love deeply personal songs! i love when songs sound like they mean something to the artist! #something something wider issue of mining trauma and being performatively vulnerable for quote unquote content #idk i don’t have the actual knowledge to write about this well there’s just something not landing for me recently #mine

[wolfythewitch]

i have so much rage in me one day i think i will explode. i dont think i know how to forgive as much as i know how to forget

#art #wolfy religious tedtalks #sketch #comic #i have such a huge disconnect with my emotions and i do genuinely think a lot of it ties back to religion #crazy how that happens #whats funny is i now have a lot of people i vaguely dislike but cant remember why. #crazy what happens when you treat forgiveness like an instruction and not a process

It is the middle of a Sunday afternoon. You have nothing on, and aren't expecting visitors, deliveries or post.

Unexpectedly, there is a knock at the door.

you are greeted by...... her
