I've finally caught up with Jujutsu Kaisen manga and I won't be spoilered anymore 🥳

But also...

Pain...

TUMBLR WRITER PSA

Before I begin this long, drawn out, whirl wind of an emotional post, let me just preface this and say: I’m so sorry for this long, drawn out, whirl wind of an emotional post…

YOU yes, you… you over there, spending your free time creating these fantastic worlds, these amazing scenarios, and these brilliant plots…  You are a spectacular human being. You find the time in your busy life; whether it’s from work, family, or school, to sit down and create these fabulous stories, hoping others will love and appreciate them as much as you love writing them. 

But Paige, why are you even bothering to make a post about this?  Because, dammit, I still feel like writers aren’t appreciated as much as they should be in this forsaken place. And because I do whatever the fuck I want.

Today, I saw a post from a young lady I just recently started following, about how much she’s struggling, how she’s worthless. I actually shed a tear, seeing how hurt she is and how she beats herself up. But then I thought about the other folks I follow… how everyone has their struggles and Tumblr is the one place they feel comfortable enough to express themselves. Because their family and friends don’t care or know how to handle them, or because they just don’t know how to talk to people. Thinking about that just made the whole dam of tears burst. I’m sure the people stuck in traffic with me were like “what the fuck is wrong with this girl, is she crying? Bob, look at this girl, is she crying? Jesus, do we roll down the window and say something? Bob, Bob, Bob, don’t MAKE EYE CONTACT”.

Every single one of you, the ones I follow and the ones I don’t, please don’t underestimate the power and influence you have with your followers. As an avid reader, I can honestly say that every person I follow has saved me in some way. As an introverted, lonely, recluse who is desperate for some sort of positive interaction from people, reading your stories brings me out of my dull existence and reminds me how wonderful people are, and how although right now things are bleak, there are people out there who are smart and kind and genuine.

Well, I told myself I wasn’t going to cry while I was writing this, and I’ve completely failed.

You all are so brilliant and so kind, and so willing to be there and listen to your followers. Just don’t forget that you all provide solace for a lot of us, so never feel bad for talking to us about your problems. I love you all, whether I’ve followed you for a few days, weeks, or months. You’ve already brought me happiness that I cannot begin to express.

Funny things I found in Genshin Impact:

Domain of Guyun is a JoJo's fan.

I was playing JoJo's music when I was doing this domain and the artefacts were surprisingly very good.

What does victory look like in the whole #BoycottHoyoverse movement? I support the movement for more diversity in their games, yet I can't see an endgame that satisfies most people. Truthfully, I still have my doubts that a whole lot will change in the VERY short time window before 5.0 drops in Late August/Early September.

Let me put it this way, what is the most that you want from them and what is the least that you would accept?

I am white, BAHAH- so I am not going to speak over poc’s voices in terms of what THEY want, because it is their culture, not mine- I am simply here to appreciate it, (and hopefully amplify their voices) which is what I personally want to do in all games I play. I want genshin, and Hoyoverse as a whole to literally listen to people’s voices, fix their character designs, give them the skin color, hair texture, cultural references, and proper representation that they deserve. The people who have been getting their culture and stories just outright stolen by hoyoverse are the ones who set the bar for what is and isn’t acceptable in my opinion.

The majority of people (from what I’ve seen) just want the proper representation, and all of the proper representation as well, not just half assed shit. I don’t think they’ll accept any less than what is genuinely just owed to them in my opinion, which is good- fuck that billion dollar company.

Honestly even if genshin delays Natlan by like a month if need be, just to fix the characters and npcs? I’d be happy. Other people would be happy. Even if it’s a small amount of time- they still have time to fix natlan, and sumeru too. Don’t forget about sumeru.

In the dog world, humans are elves that routinely live to be 500+ years old.

Already seeing posts that Malleus is disgusting (in a not-affectionate manner) for what he's doing to the Shroud brothers.

As you should! That's the entire point of the story; that manipulating people, feeding your ideals upon the unwilling, and forcing them to obey you is an actual evil thing and something that should be condemned, not romanticized! He's literally from an evil bloodline with an actual bitch of a mother. Again, that's the point of his character in particular. That he is an evil creature who happened to be exposed to kindness, liked said kindness, tries to live his life in said kindness, but occasionally reverts to his foul nature because he's not a perfect person. Because he doesn't yet completely understand how to navigate in this unfamiliar kindness.

If that message irritates you so much, then honestly this game isn't for you. And if I had a hand in influencing this story, I don't want twst to change anything about how his character arc goes. We need more characters who change from repulsive to struggling but slightly better, and not just fill the entire fictional universe with care bears type of men who go from kind to godly kind. He's a failure of a man, but he's trying to be better.

And I'd be damned if the final villain in a villain game is not an actual villain.

LET TOM HOLLAND BE HAPPY AND DONT HATE ON THE GIRL HE CHOSE TO BE WITH!!!

I just want to say to everyone who’s upset, jealous, mad, etc about Tom Holland finding a girl and being happy to get over yourself. Its ok to be a little upset but DO NOT take it out on that poor girl. Tom is not yours, he is not mine, and you shouldnt hate on the person who he chose to be happy with. It makes me sick to see little girls say “she’s not even that pretty” or “he looks better with Zendaya”. No one asked for your opinion and no one needs your approval. You need to get over yourself

and let them be happy.
