Ouugh.. having Spectre Feels

#she never got a chance #she could’ve been so many different things #but we didn’t let her #we went at her with steel-cold intent and killed her before she could be anything #now her bones are sitting on the floor #and she’s only a vaporous. transient. thing #not quite there. but still attached enough to your perception to be able to interact with you #and despite the obvious resentment. despite having reason to hate you completely and want you dead #she’s kind. she’s understanding. she’s *playful* #she already died. why waste time being mean? #when they still have the chance to do right by you? #and. seemingly. there is nothing else they can do to hurt you (right?) #so she gives you another chance #because the alternative is being alone and stuck forever in a place that never changes #and that’s a fate worse than death to her #OUUUUUGH #stp-posting #sal rambles #(in the tags. lmao. sorry) #slay the princess #the spectre

my advice for anyone whos growing more and more frustrated with the state of aftg and fandom at large is that arguing is fun but you need to be happy. ok. you need to. its hard when bad faith takes are dropped to your doorstep but you need to be happy and enjoy yourself and have fun or there's no point in anything at all ever. ok. fandom is not real and nothing is worth more than your enjoyment. i love you please make sure to have fun and reach out to a friend today. for me

#this goes doubly for fans of color if i'm honest #i say this bc a lot of my mutuals either currently or in the past have been very upset about how the fandom acts #and ive Done My Rounds with that ok #ive survived great wars even. and they did not make me happy #yes i was right and yes i should have said it but ultimately there was no material harm to choosing to have fun instead #lifes hard as it is in the real world where real things happen why would you waste your precious fun time on fighting crusades #and trust me i understand deeply the wish to fight crusades. Ive Fought Them. it got me hate mail and #an overall loss of passion for something i held sincerely in my heart #theres nothing more worthy than your enjoyment im serious. none of this is real and the world is hard out there #you need to get a good thing while u can #i dont remember a single time where ive actually felt vindicated by arguing with people online about. anything really but even more so aftg #but i remember in perfect and fond detail every time the (now defunct) kandreil discord server came up with an au #or even just normal casual conversation #i remember asks i got years ago about kevin day hcs that i hardly even agree with now but still love #trust me you will Not remember these squabbles what you will remember is what you loved and if youre lucky thats a lot of memories #so have fun ok. for me #txt

why the fuck did i write about birds this fucking sucks. i just found out birds only sleep for a few minutes at a time, hundreds of times a day. do you know what this is going to do to my structure? the logistics of their road trip? this is already like three days late and i've been fighting for my life to get A Plot Like Any Plot That Makes Sense out and now the birds fucking sleep for 5 minutes at a time.

#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance #i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines #and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone' #gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK #i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it #in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day #and it's still not done. GUHH #I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE. #MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING #THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head #going to work on it some more. fuckk #the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal #themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it #sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time. #i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l #go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow #so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff #i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum) #eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit) #i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh #why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)

I am so fucking sick of living with my roommate and his fuck ass boyfriend. Also watching my roommate burn every single one of his (already rather minimal, I might add) bridges for this guy is also kind of painful but also his relationship with me is one of said bridges so I'm almost past the point of even feeling bad for him lmao

#i have had to piss for probably the better part of an hour now #because they decided to take a shower together and have been in there for well OVER an hour now #and this is a nightly occurence atp sometimes MULTIPLE times a day #we have one bathroom.... can yall not be considerate enough to not be in there for up to TWO HOURS AT A TIME??? #also it's such a waste of fucking water.... #idk we've hit a point where i literally hear the bf doing anything and i get pissed off #but also tell me why i'm sitting in my room (which shares a wall with the bathroom) and i can hear this man hacking and spitting shit up #and this is also something that happens multiple times a day #like.... dude.... why are you spitting up toothpaste so fucking loudly oh my fucking god #but yeah no i'm like my roommate's only friend atp and he's about to not have me lmao like we're about to reach #'i'm cutting you off when i move out' levels of me being pissed off with this whole situation type shit #and apparently the bf convinced him to come out to his family which his mom was chill which is good #his dad's side of the family though....? not great. and my roommate KNEW that would be the case cuz we'd talked about it before #also love that my roommate has constantly talked about moving out of the city we live in because he hates and also there's no good career #opportunities for him here (which is true) #and now. MAGICALLY. he's like 'idk i think it'd be best for me to stay here' #like oh my GOD???? are you hearing yourself???? are you fucking stupid???? you fucking hate it here??? #but sure throw your life away and ruin all your meaningful relationships for a guy you met six months ago jfc #and the thing is i *know* my roommate we've been close CLOSE friends for nearly a decade now #i know he is not like this.... like yeah he's being insane by allowing this but also i know these aren't the kinds of decisions he would ma #and also i know he wouldn't treat me like this all on his own #it's the deranged fucking control freak of a guy he decided to date and my roommate has too many of his own issues to put his foot down #about certain things and tell the guy no so he's just allowing him to completely take over his life #and fuck everything up until the bf is the only thing he has left once it's all said and done #and yeah. it's painful to watch. but also wtf am i supposed to do because obviously my opinion is not respected nor wanted regarding this #that has been made PAINFULLY clear #ugh this is so fucking horrendous #what is it with ppl who start to date someone and then go clinically fucking insane and destroy their lives all for this one person #who. realistically. they barely know in comparison to all the other ppl in their life #like explain it to me jfc

Nice try at a roast, kid. People actually like my writing though. I got three r/nosleep stories on the front page. What is you got? A book nobody wants to read? Kek you wokies are delusional. By the frickin way... my pronouns are fuck/you so don't misgender me!

oh my god guys, i've never gotten an ask that reeked so strongly of reddit

i could smell this guy coming from 2000 miles away.

a good thing too, because i sure am terrified of reddit toughguys. gotta pack my bags and get my things, or else he might give me a lecture on how minorities such as Women in video games signal the end of civilization as we know it.

he might Just Tell Me How It Is, or say Facts Don't Care About My Feelings, or even call me a Kid again. How will I ever recover?

#im also laughing at the idea that having a trending post on reddit is like #an achievement? #what a weird thing to be proud of #i go viral on tumblr all the time and all i know is shame lol #at least my books are something i made that is original and different #write a book anon #do something that matters instead of karma farming and sending anon hate #if you think youre a good writer then write something beautiful #instead of whatever the fuck this is #wasting your time sending me asks that ill just find amusing #ive been around #sporto #i strongly suspect im much older than you bc you come across like a 13 year old who just found his parents' iphones #the constant use of the word kid #as if youre not a greasy little insecure high schooler whos just hopped up on a tiktok algorithm of andrew tate imitators #this ask doesnt just reek of reddit it reeks of loneliness and tragedy #but theres hope for you #theres a chance you could turn around by your twenties and be rightfully ashamed of how you used to be #and thats why i forgive how embarrassing youre being right here and now #we all do embarrassing things as teens #one day youll cringe #or #or you wont and youll go down the reddit hole trap and end up a bitter 40 year old straight white man with no girlfriend wife kids or frien #friends #and youll wonder why the world hates you #and the answer will be that you hate you #and all of your mistakes stem back #to spending all of your time online instead of making connections with yourself and others #btw you should kno #you actually do smell

its so wild seeing how non mmo players exist and well. i dont like it!

#i saw an iceberg bass by and i. dont want to be anywhere near that iceberg #if youve never played over 100 hours of any mmo. i dont trust you or your opinions about video games tbh. #like sorry talking to people on a video game is scary. skill issue. #also. also. also. controversial opinion but subscription based games arent actually bad. shocking i know #its a super big pet peeve when people hate on mmos for being. mmos. like. what did you expect lol??? #or they hate on mmos for. gasp. needing consistent funding to keep running #if i said my opinions about single player games yall would attack me with hammers #single player games are boring as FUCK #ive only ever beaten two singleplayer games and it was hollow knight and nier replicant #i cant bring myself to play any other ones cause theyre just not interesting #like in theory i like bg3 but in practice i cant. be fucking bothered #that game is just. Too Much #which is rich coming from a FFXIV player who LOVES Bozja but like #i love being around people at all times and i hate doing things alone on the account of the autism #and unless i drag people into playing bg3 with me when i want to play it its just not worth it #i have to figure out the systems by myself and i have no motivation to keep playing (yeah i could just google it but. thats not my point) #like honestly. singleplayer games make me feel like im wasting my time. #why would i play bg3 by myself when i could be afk in limsa watching people argue in shout chat. which is much more fun

[lonely-night]

lmao checking the j7/janeway x seven tag and finding hate post? *instant block*

i mean listen, you wanna talk about how much you hate a ship? sure thing, no one is stopping you. in fact I talk about shit I hate all the time. and yes that anon is stupid to send you a msg that you shouldn’t talk something you dislike, but you posting that ask and tag j7 just because you’re being petty? well... I respect your pettiness but you tainting my ship tag page is a big no no 

#rambling tag #can people just be civilised and enjoy shit your own way and not starting fight? #people hate you ship? #sure why not #I hate some ships too #but do I go fight people who like the ships? #why would i do that???? wasting my goddamn time??? #i barely have time to make things for ships i like #when i talk shit about my anti-ship #i always careful about it like using symbol * to prevent others who actually like the ships see my post in search result #its a courtesy #for the fans of said ships #seriously where are the manners nowadays in fandom

[coolauntlilith]

I had a really good discussion over actual reasons for different pov on OFMD...

And now we're back to stupid fucking takes. Please watch The Crown or something if you want a serious show. Please watch 90s Charmed if you want girl boss women.

I really enjoyed messy women characters. I like Ann and Mary. I liked that Archie is in the crew and she's a himbo. I like women who are not always socially correct, who are messy, who can't fucking cook lol, who are silly in whatever way.

Please pick a different show. Go away.

#i actually am back to think yall have main character syndrome again #'this show didn't do what i like!!' stop watching. go away. holy shit why is this even a normal complaint #i didnt like star wars 8. you know what i didnt do? go see star wars 9. and ive never even fucking talked abou it here because i didn't #waste my time. i didn't like GoT after a while. you know what i didnt do? keep fucking watching it #jfc if you hated something so much. clearly you were seeing things that made you uncomfortable. you have the power at your fingertips to #just stop watching. turn it off. #i cant stand you all rn #aunt posting #anti - particular ofmd fans who dont have a grip on reality #anti izcourse believers now #anti whatever the fuck that one user is on about. like damn. women cant do anything except be pristine huh

Unpopular opinion, but haters (of texts! not performers or creators) actually fulfill an important role in the fandom ecosystem. They're the headsmen of medieval villages. Shunned, understandably but hypocritically, by society (really, headsmen usually lived outside of the walls, the job was passed within the family because no one would willingly take it, and the only shot at marriage were sentenced criminals) but every now and then called up to perform the dirty job no one else would while the crowd pours out all of their darkest instincts at the person about to die so they can feel the social structure reinforced and go back to their lives in blissful hypocrisy while the headsman goes back to running a brothel.

Of course, in a medieval society the enlightened me would be a plucky townsgirl posing as a boy so she can join the university and above such vulgar crowdthink. So it stands to reason watching a man scream and curse about an episode I believe deserves more criticism genuinely lightened the pressure on my chest and I can now go back to enjoying the stuff I like.

It's possible no one will ever tell you that, haters, but so long as your rants are about the text not the people and you tag them appropriately - you are recognised.

#there often pops up this question: why would you waste your time on something you hate instead of spending it on sth you love #and the answer is: because anger (anger. as in emotion. not hate as an actively sustained attitude) is also something people feel #and sometimes need to let it out which again is previsely what art is for #(i guess there's also sports but.) #and also when a text is long enough there will be things you both love and hate #yes the hour and a half rant was about the doctor falls so i don't have to rant #i wish there was more ranting about potd but i guess moffat era could still raise emotions if negative #shit up roxanne you've said your part #i'm starting to understand monty python's argument services

[qquicksllver]

I hate people who's entire personality is about them being a hater.. "professional hater" in their bio... okay thanks for letting me know that you are insufferable :-)

#why do you waste your time talking and posting about things you hate instead of things you enjoy #its so boring #also ik this post is hypocritical dont need to tell me that :-) #shut up sam

[kaijujube]

I got SO MUCH hate in my inbox for this ask I sent to straycatj

#I got like two or three nice messages but there are fifty more that are transphobic or calling me a freak or telling me to kill myself #kinda regret sending that ask i should've known better considering the internet is toxic as hell #if it bothered you so much just block me? why waste your time (and mine) telling me i should be dead #i don't think I'm responding to any of the messages in my inbox #ty again to the extremely few people who said kind things but the rest of you are just. yikes #the notes in that post are a mess too honestly i feel guilty straycatj has to see the worst of the internet #all because i wanted a little comfort from a stranger #i do have a therapist but i think most of y'all might need therapy more than i do #if you think it's ever appropriate to tell someone to kill themself #or literally harass them for needing comfort #if you find it that difficult to be respectful and/or you have fun harassing people you should seriously consider talking to someone for it #very telling that all but one of the hate messages is on anon too

[strangerstilinski]

i left this site from around 2015 until recently and let me tell you… one thing i did not miss one bit was the constant holier-than-thou scolding and policing and hate for consuming certain shows/movies/music/fics?? i rly don’t understand the public shaming of it all? if you don't like something then simply.. don't read/watch/listen to it yourself?

why is there such a loud presence online of people who get upset when others don't agree with their exact opinions and dislikes in media? i, for one, don't waste my time talking about media that i don't enjoy? and that's that. i just.. leave it be..?

anyway

#truly so bizarre to me #to waste so much time and energy dicussing things you hate and why others should hate it too #rather than just.. using your energy to talk about thing you DO enjoy!! #even just making this post was exhausting and i am done now #switching the vibe back to good things 🫡

[thievesway]

i cant actually answer that question in last reblog tho cause im such a massive fan of being blind to things entirely idk. theres been so much stuff ive watched or played only knowing the genre and the experience of not even knowing the synop is p awesome and one of a kind

#this is also why im bad at telling people what somethinf is abt when they ask for reccs #like idk man watch it and find out if you want to know #‘i dont wanna waste my time doing something i wont like’ what a pitiful way to live imo…. #im too tired to explain why but i think experiencing things you might not like is good sometimes #and not having the whole run down on a media helps you go into it without the expectation of hating it tainting your view #🧀

[ohnoitsthebat]

I just received a weird, condescending ask, and I don't know how to feel about it.....

#i'm not gonna post it--i deleted it immediately #but basically the anon told me 'i miss when you used to post about x' #'your blog was actually interesting then' #okay????????? #the unfollow button is right there?? #why waste your time sending the ask????? #i am ????? #i'm sure some of my followers do miss when i used to post about other content #but i'm sorry.....things change #anyway it was just a weird ask #i hate condescending people #bat.txt

[deus-ex-mona]

it started as a simple song-inspired fic, how did it end up like this

#aka i finally remembered why i don’t write fics anymore: the musical #man i just had a really weird day. first i woke up from this messed up dream #in which i filled a half-full bottle of perfume with water and then sprayed said concoction into my mouth when i got thirsty #i remember that ​the perfume-water tasted fragrant though. like the taste spreads through your entire mouth and around your airways #and then i cleaned my room in a ‘my mind says no but my body says yes’ kinda thing. sadge #i wanted to sleep my holiday away mans…. :((((((( what a waste #oh right the song that inspired this fic was one of my favourite songs from my childhood. and it’s 20 years old this year i think… #though. even though it’s 20 years old. there is somehow???? no proper english tl of it??? like???? lol????? #there are only semi-accurate machine tls s o b s the song deserves better fr #the cg animation in the song’s mv did n o t age well though lmao. still love it though~~~~ #then again. the only reason why it even inspired this fic is bc i misheard the chorus as ‘aizo aizo’ after looping it one too many times #i hate my life i hate everything how did it come to t h i s #i want my holiday back. i shouldn’t have wasted it cleaning my room of all things. sadge… #it is suiyoubi my dudes #added to my personal cringefic compilation #g od how am i still able to find that tag when i have to type out literally every other compilation tag hello??? tagging system??? you ok???
