Rant Post - Blog Posts

That casual moment of realizing you’re an otherkin and the kintypes have weird overlaps and/or conflicting feelings.

Enderman kin - supposed to hate water

Seafolk kin - I love water

Dragon kin - I want to be in the sky not water

It kills me-

This realization of my kintypes explains a lot:

Endfolk kin:

Hate eye contact, love purple and darkness, I’m tall and lanky already but feel like I need to be TALLER 👹

I like picking things up like an Endfolk too :}

Seafolk kin:

I specifically feel like a leviathan sea folk, I’m a 50 foot long, glowing scales, head fins, large clawed, lots of frills and fins, CHARCOAL SKINNED BEAST, yet a gentle giant!!!

With dragon kin, I kinda already knew (I have a dragon sona)

Green scales, 3 pairs of horns, dark green & purple webbing for my wings, larger than most dragons, tall and imposing yet also lean and long.

I want to fly, I want to swim, I want to blip through the fabric of reality and leave purple sparkles in my wake.

And all this is also paired with already being a magical and supernatural and mundane entity that’s SOMEHOW BECOME AN ELDRITCH DEITY AND I ACCIDENTALLY IMMORTALIZED MYSELF WITH SHEER SPITE WHEN I WAS 9

Yall remember springtrap and deliah??? I just watched one of those youtube video essays about it and how bad the creator sucked and damn yall i had no idea it was that bad lmao

I hate it when you look at an old work from your childhood and it somehow always ends up being the most problematic thing, from like movies to music to comics, learning your favorite youtubers like assulted children etc. Its always so weird to find out way too late that you supported something so bad ((definitely not just talking about springtrap and deliah,,))

So my dad’s ex is pissing me off so badly. She’s being clingy as fuck and begging him to take her back after he’s told her multiple times that he doesn’t want to be with her. Now she won’t stop bitching, whining, and she’s even telling him that he’s the worst person ever over text. Want to know something even more fun? They work together. Her entire existence is filling me with rage and there’s nothing I can do about it except stress clean.

Sorry, just had to get that out to some strangers online 👌

mini rant

i'm only on episode 24 of TMA,, why does everyone come and interrupt Jon out of nowhere??? like JESUS i get more scared when i hear a different voice speaking than hearing the horrors™

no hate to Sasha tho, she sounds lovely

Generally sad that in tv shows and stuff you will have like the most complex female character with the most interesting story and people are still going to favor the male character

Like your allowed to have a favorite character be a guy or not! But usually I’m fandoms I see guy characters are a lot more popular, and I get really happy when I see good representation of both

Idk this is just a rant and again, I’m not saying who you should like more

(Also I hate when a girl is popular but it’s just them sexualizing her or making fetish stuff :( )

I'm just gonna come out and say this - People are going to interpret a character/franchise differently. Each person's interpretation is going to be different, even if it's just by a bit. Does that mean one interpretation is better than the other? No. Are some more accurate than others? Yes - But that doesn't give you the right to shit on people for their contribution to the fandom. If it's something extremely problematic, that's a different story. But headcanoning a character as 'gay' is not problematic. Shipping two legal, non-related characters is not problematic. Writing a character differently than how they are portrayed in the media is not problematic - Inaccurate, sure, but nothing serious.

Instead of saying "fuck this fandom" or "this fandom is so ass", CONTRIBUTE WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE !! That's the entire reason I made this account: I wasn't seeing as much content {that fit my narrative} as I would've wanted. So, what did I do? I made that content myself.

I did not shit on other creators for their posts. I did not say "fuck this fandom/this fandom sucks." I started using my brain {which some of you aren't doing for some reason..} and writing/drawing/CREATING my own shit. It doesn't matter if my posts get 1 like or 1000 likes, I'm content with my posts - That's it.

You don't have to agree with everything/everyone in the fandom, just have the decency to respect people - my god

Grow a pair {of ovaries} and contribute what you want to receive instead of whining on the internet about your bullshit predicament 🫀

ALL BELOW - This is the big rant message about importance of real art and AI problems I originally wrote for a raffle on scrap.tf some time ago, but I decided to leave it here as well, for the history. Don't know how to hide the text in formatting to it not go a long line down, so there's just big text wall all below yk.

ROTATING SHARK FOR TEXT SEPARATION

ROTATING SHARK FOR TEXT SEPARATION

The Message to People about Art and AI.

Listen to St. Chroma by Tyler, the Creator. Look at "The Last Day of Pompeii" by Karl Bryullov for a one minute. Check out the pottery and sculptures that the local masters in your town make. Go to your local popular cafe and just watch the passion, soul n'effort with which the cooks and chefs prepare the food there for you. I don't care if anyone disagrees with this, but ART is what makes us humans. It is the single most important thing that separates us from any other species on this tiny, puny planet in a vast monotony of space void.

People like to consume art. No, they LOVE sm doing it on a daily basis - music on Spotify (or YouTube), movies, shows, sitcoms, a lot of videos on the same YouTube, art-comms on Internet, paintings n' photos on the walls of our houses, fountains and statues in the city centers, clothes, the design of your mouse pad, whatever else. But let's face it - artists have never been recognized. Never valued. Their efforts and skills have always been humiliated and belittled, fed the term "starving artist" to justify low wages, they were expelled from countries, imprisoned for undesirable works for political regimes all throughout history. Even killed. It works the other way around only sometimes, because look how powerful art can be for propaganda. Society hates artists, let's face it now. I will give you an answer - art has power. Governments (usually authocratic) are afraid of creators cuz those know how to tell the truth and the inside story about these political regimes to humiliate them in that way.

Today, nothing has changed, only the tools. Labels pay pennies to musicians, corporations use AI instead of paying real artists for their work & laiding them off, despite the fact that they also need to pay bills and feed families. Although, about AI... As Hayao Miyazaki put it "An insult to life itself". I will be blunt - AI "art" is not art at all. It's garbage, slop, pictures w/out the most important component that builds the very concept of art - human empathy. The greatest disrespect for the essence of humanity that could ever appear. As a final product within the frames of business - it's perfect, minimum investment and quick result. But from the point of view of being a person, a creator - no. Do you know what I, myself, personally love in art? The process. Emotions. The feeling of the pencil moving on paper. Seeing how my picture looks like I wanted from the start. The result is secondary for me (unless we're talking about when art is a job, which is important as well !). AI takes all of the necessity to take a pencil in our hands and learn all by ourselves. It uses data of human artists' artworks to learn and practically steals the work of a many decades to give a result without any soul nor purpose for existing. Quite handy to rule people who never bothered to bring their ideas in life by themselves, who can't think on how to image smth from the head and not with AI.

Real art, however, makes people go against tyranny, brings the power and sparks the soul for change, causes tears and joy, builds memories and relationships, connects people, makes us who we are truly - living beings with emotions, feelings, ideas. Creativity. Being an artist is a two-sided curse, I can say, but this is what makes me, us, humans. And I even like it tbh...

If you'll look at the Ancient Greece, you won't look for their financial systems or rules of etiquette in the first place - you will look at the culture. The music, paintings, mosaics, clothes. No art = No culture = No humanity. No us.

Everyone, at least many people, underestimating the real situation's state. I can guess why and you might think the same. Well, that's your life, I'm only a person from the Internet that ain't propagating anything in here.

So, for fellow artists - keep creating. Get a pencil/stylus/needle/any other your tool in your hand and go create. Keep being humans with personalities. For others - think about my message twice. As long as I'm making art, I'm staying human.

And remember! - no matter what "shameful" type of stuff you're doin', a silly doodle or a mediocre song, like anything you like - anything else made by AI in an attempt to repeat the output of human soul will always be much more shameful by definition.

just played a strange roblox game with my brothister and he died quite quickly but I didn't and i had the absolute worst time of my life. i wanna play it again with my mom

link to game: https://www.roblox.com/games/6810211229/Lost-REALITY

I have unnecessary beef with the THINK principle.

Like

If you told me to off myself three sentences after you told me to report an alternate to the authorities, i would do neither, actually

Fuck you, I'm not offing myself AND I'm not telling the cops shit, what're they even gonna do, tell people 'hey theres an alternate around' and do NOTHING ELSE?? That's what they always do. Fuck the police and fuck the alternates

OPINION RANT TIME WOO LESGOO CUZ SOME OF YALL ARE FUQED UP IN THJE HEAD

ok so can we talk about the whole 'turning straight ppl gay' thing- like.. huh? if you have a straight char WITH a girlfriend or something and then have ONE guy friend the fandom will go totally crazy and be like

'OMG HES SO GAY THEYVE KNOWN EACHOTHER SINCE CHILDHOOD PLES PAIR THEM UP AND MAKE MY HEADCANON BE TRUE SOFT BOI X EMO!!!'

also do you know whos saying this straight girls for some reason????

(future me: ITS EVEN FUCKING WORSE WHEN THEY DO IT TO IRL PPL LIKE GIRL- THATS A MARRIED MAN WITH 2 CHILDREN JUST TRYNA ACT OUT A CHARACTER AND NOW U TRYNA DRAW HIS HYPERREALISTIC PP TOUCHIN ANOTHA MANS BOOTYHOLE)

AYIUFEKHAJAAAA istGGGG we need to stop ASSUMING and FORCING peoples sexualities LOUDLY like plz just keep that shit locked up in your mind idc if theyre roomates or not in your highschool fanon fic just keep that stuff away from me -me, a literal and openly queer person to show how weirded out i am by this stuff

mob mentality is fucked man we all fucked when the twitter (no fuck the name 'x' it sounds like a porn site) trending floodgates open and they find out what next impossible natural human behavior to make 'boyfriend goals' like mf mafia army men that would stalk,kidnap and rape u until you got stockholm syndome (that was literally the plot of a smut fic i read- SOMEBODY WROTE THAT THINKING ITS HOT??)

sorry for rant im just anrg

honestly, if im going to say anything i should say it now

id never want to be an elk if i had the choice, i wouldnt take it

im glad to have these human abilities, smarts, and privileges. even though i want horns or a muzzle at times that would also mean i would have a horrible life. prey have alot of downsides with their life, prob not even making it to adulthood. its filled with anxiety, your friends and family just dying around you and running since theres only a small chance of successfully fighting back. predators have evolved right next to us so they know our plans, our moves, and our abilities while humans have quite a life of bliss. we even trap animals that can easily kill us like tigers and bears then look at them within zoos.

i cant really think of any other animal id want to be then the human, perhaps a domestic dog or parrot but thats honestly it

sorry for the rant uhhh doodle was drawn on phone this time cuz i was at schol :P

i think a harry potter dni person followed me what do i do i love hp-

I dont support the trans = bad stuff cuz my gender is a mess rn and like bro lemmie just enjoy my silly lil game- also the community itself is very enjoyable and comforting as ive met plenty of gay ppl in there who just dont care about the transphobia stuff cuz harry potter is what they like. tbh for me its what the community is about not the creator, a large example is warrior cats and prob other communities too

uhhh idk what else to say after that small rant whats yalls fave quest in hogwarts legacy? mines where u save buckbeak or tame the lord of the shore idk which one i just love the creatures in that game sm

TROP SEASON FINALE SPOILERS!!!!!

Elrond, my baby, my little guy, my poor soul.

DWARF RANT:

King Durin, may you rest in the Halls of Aule with honor.

I've seen a common theme in this series: people who had lost their minds, but found them in the last moment of shocking clarity that was (almost) their last noble act.

Celebrimbor, cutting off his thumb to escape (Which was very "I'm honoring my Uncle Maedhros" core, which I very much appreciate) and saying, "Whose will is the mightier?"

I can go on another rant about that phrase and the implications, but that was last episode.

King Durin III awoke the balrog, literally Durin's Bane.

Prince Durin and Disa's kiss was iconic, fyi.

Prince Durin tried so hard to help his father, but in the end, he couldn't stop him. Well, he alone couldn't stop his father; what truly set King Durin over the edge was the knowledge that his son might die. King Durin saw the balrog, something that he had willingly called forth, and went, "Holy shit, get the boy OUT". And how did King Durin get his boy out of the balrog's fire? He sacrificed himself.

Throughout this entire season, I have seen nothing but poor parenting from King Durin; he never listened to his son's advice; he literally shoved him away, and into a wall (My first thought was, "CHILD ABUSE!!! CHILD ABUSE!!!! GO GET DWARF DFCS!!!"). But here, we see the true affection King Durin had for his son.

The cataclysm that brought King Durin clarity was not anything his son could have done by himself, but the knowledge that his son was helpless. King Durin was not going to let his son suffer something of his own making, so he charged the balrog.

And then died.

HUMAN RANT:

Okay, so Kemen (I finally learned his name, unfortunately) needs to get off of his swampy ass and tumble into a grave. It'd be so simple; Isildur just needs to *grab by lapels* *shift three spaces to the right* *drop in hole*. Simple! Easy solution! Would the Valar be very happy? Probably not, but hey! We'd get rid of Kemen!

And I do appreciate Earien's technically treasonous act for her father; by now, she is a pretty prominent figure in Numenorean politics; the right hand of the king's right hand.

And you know what confused me?

The way Pharazon---I'm not calling him Ar-Pharazon, he doesn't deserve that---gathered up all of the RELIGIOUS LEADERS of the Faithful and said, "Yeah, sorry you're conspiring with Sauron, aka the DEVIL so you and all of the Faithful are to be arrested. Sorry."

One of the main things that always strikes a cord for me is religious freedom; when these wrongs are shown in this show, it makes me SO angry, because people should be able to practice their faith freely, regardless of whatever religion the government favors.

The sacking of Nienna's temple, the prosecution of the Faithful in earlier episodes, and now the legit imprisoning of people who are Faithful.

Recently, I have been reading "The Crucible" in class, and we have been discussing the causes and effects of mass hysteria, one of the contributing factors of the Salem Witch Hunts. I feel like there might be bought of mass hysteria going around Numenor now; the king/queen-ship is a major dispute, the Faithful are being arrested, major political and social leaders of the community have been imprisoned. People can likely accuse others of being Faithful (Even if they aren't) because of petty rivalries. In the Crucible, Mr. Putnam accused George Jacobs, his neighbor who had lots of land, of witchcraft, so that he would be able to purchase his land.

How many people in Numenor would face a similar dilemma?

Would Mr. Smith the Sailor accuse Mrs. Johnson the Tailor of being an Elf-Friend because her tapestries looked a little too much like those of Vaire? But it doesn't matter that Mrs. Johnson's only daughter is of marriageable age and Mr. Smith has had his eye on her. But who would be watching that if Mrs. Johnson was an Elf-Friend?

All of these factors are the most basic ingredient for a good ol' bought of mass hysteria; my English teacher doesn't watch this show, but I'm tempted to tell her the similarities.

then, to Isildur.

I thought Theo and Isildur's hug was very nice.

Theo was like, "Ah, yes, I shall bid my friend farewell after discussing the traumatic deaths of our mothers. I wish him well!"

And Isildur's like, "Why is the kid who hated me yesterday wanting a hug???"

I always got bad vibes from Estrid. I get swearing servitude to Adar in exchange for your life, I get that, but.

I never felt comfortable with her and Isildur's relationship. I get that she wasn't able to decipher her feelings for Hagen, her betrothed, until she met Isildur, but seriously. I also know that Isildur has an "unnamed wife" (SCREW THE NOT NAMING OF FEMALE CHARACTERS IT MAKES ME ANGRY), so I know he's gonna get somebody EVENTUALLY, and before Numenor sinks.

But then, Isildur and Estrid started MAKING OUT in Theo's kitchen. Like, bro. THAT'S NOT YOUR HOUSE!!!! Do that ELSEWHERE!!!!! Better yet, don't even do it!

And then, that slimy bitch Kemen had to stroll up, all, "Yeah, we'll put the watchtower there, knock down a few houses to do it." And then, he tries to be all buddy-buddy with Isildur, who obviously realizes that something is a bit off.

Then, Kemen drops the ball, saying that his father is wanted for treason, Queen Miriel is no longer queen, and "low men" are not allowed in Numenor.

First off: very classist of you, go kill yourself, Kemen.

Second off: Isildur learns that the woman he saved from the fire is no longer queen; is he thinking that his sacrifice, everything that he's endured in Middle Earth, has been for naught?

Third off: Kemen mentioned Earien. Does Isildur know that his sister has gotten a little racist in his absence? How will he react to seeing his sister betray their entire family by literally trying to put them all in prison (Anarion, Elendil, AND Isildur)?

Kinda happy that Estrid wasn't going to Numenor. Don't like the circumstances, but I'm glad that she isn't going.

I also think that Earien is coming to her senses; she might not have wanted Miriel on the throne, but now, Pharazon's tyranny is affecting HER. HER family is being prosecuted. HER father is wanted for "treason". HER people are at risk. Earien is getting a rude awakening to this thing.

I also think that its interesting how that guard left when Earien told him to; it shows how people in power are STILL defying the law in Numenor, all because, "Oh, she knows the king's son."

Of course, Earien did this for a good reason, but it still demonstrates the corruption of Numenor's political system.

Then, Miriel and Elendil. As I was watching this my mom, I was like, "Hey, do you ship it?" and she was like, "Oh, yeah" and I was like, "Good, my assumptions are not unfounded."

So yeah, Anarion, Isildur, and Earien are going to be getting a step-mom, good for them!!

What messed me up was when Miriel was like, "No Elendil, you must go, I will stay." Like Elendil (And us) were under the impression that she would remain with the Faithful; Elendil draped the cloak over her shoulders and she didn't flinch, she listened to his plan, but when the time came to make the decision she stayed. Frankly, I don't understand WHY, but go off girlie, I guess.

ELVES:

Okay, so Galadriel getting the refugees out of Eregion, I really liked; in cannon, Galadriel and many of Eregion's fled Eregion and headed south. Then, Galadriel gave up the Nine to save the refugees (Iconic, Queen Behavior), and we see Adar, leaning against a fallen tree. Is he injured? Is he hiding? Has his hand been conveniently cut off by some guy on an eagle? What happened?

After dismissing the orcs, Adar turns around. At first, I didn't see any difference (I'm not very observant, sometimes, alright?), until I looked a little closer. His face was no longer scared and burned; his hair seemed thicker, cleaner; he looked less gaunt. The ring had healed him.

And then, Galadriel asked for his name, but he evaded the question, like a little BITCH.

"Adar was the name I chose for myself" blah, blah, blah, bah, JUST SAY MAKALAURE YOU IDIOT!!! Sure, there are some details in cannon that don't line up (Maglor wasn't strung up on Thangorodrim, Maedhros was) but here's the thing: not only has trop changed a few things, it made some things more accessible.

In trop, Elrond and Elros were found by Galadriel after the Third Kinslaying, not the sons of Feanor. Celebrimbor was supposed to be tortured for TWO YEARS before his death. Celeborn is still supposed to be present.

I also have a cannon-probable idea for Maglor being Adar; in Maglor's trauma and grief at loosing his last and first brother, could he have not clung to his brother, in all aspects? Maglor may have curated this story of hanging from a cliff because that's what happened to his brother, that idea is what keeps him close. The things about being with the orcs and Sauron, I can't really explain for this idea. That's just about as far as I got.

But Adar WILLINGLY returned the ring to Galadriel, proving that he truly meant to defeat Sauron with elven help. But then, there is an injured Uruk nearby, and Adar goes to help; he might not even be able to heal him, but he will be with that Uruk in his last moments.

And then.

The Uruk, Glug, I think? leapt up and stabbed him. All of the others followed suit. It was a mirror to Sauron's own death in the first episode: betrayed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed, stabbed---

You get the gist.

By the end, Adar is well and truly gone. He raises his hand to touch one of the orcs, his children, and calls them such, but the orc stabs him again, one, final time.

The entire situation is disheartening; sure Adar might have been willing to risk his "children" in his hunt for revenge against Sauron, but he cared about them, well and truly. In exchange, the orcs killed him for his kindness.

In the end, I really do want to know who Adar was before his chaining to a mountain. Did he have a family? People he loved? He must have come from Cuivienen, so he probably did.

I also wonder where he would go after death. Now that his hroa (Physical body) is well and truly... extinguished, where will his fea (Spirit) go? Do orcish fear (Spirit, plural) go to the Halls of Mandos, or somewhere else?

Adar looked vaguely elven; he could walk in sunlight, unlike his children. I feel like he should go to the Halls of Mandos; he did many terrible things, but were they not in the pursuit of good?

Then, Celebrimbor's death (These are not in the order of the scenes, just what I remember).

We see streaks of blood on stone floor, and we know something has happened.

Then, there's Celebrimbor, BEING USED AS TARGET PRACTICE, with arrows in his arms. Sauron stand over him, grim, and he wants to know where the rings are. They bicker and banter, there's some (un)healthy badinage, and Sauron STILL says that Celebrimbor's pain is HIS fault, that Celebrimbor brought this upon himself. Even though Celebrimbor is well and truly destroyed, Sauron STILL wants to have Celebrimbor guilt-ridden and full of self-loathing. It sickens me.

And then, Celebrimbor has something to say. He says, "forsee", and Sauron stops. I doubt Celebrimbor has had many visions of foresight, but the line of Finwe is not without them; did Miriel not have a vision of foresight to name her son Feanaro? Was Galadriel not gifted in seeing versions of the future? So it is possible, especially since Celebrimbor is SPOT ON. It WILL be one ring that brings about Sauron's downfall, and Sauron will fall. Sauron realizes this, and runs him through with a spear. Celebrimbor is lifted onto the pillar (Which is what I think we're going to get as the Celebrimbanner, unfortunately; I would have loved to see his cannonical death) and finally dies.

Then, Galadriel and Sauron's duel. Sauron turns into different people to try and fool Galadriel, but by now, she is used to trickery. He turns into puppy-dog-eyed Halbrand (Annatar was literally just Halbrand in a heat-damaged wig and shaved, Celebrimbor should have seen that IMMEDIATELY). Then, he's Galadriel herself, depicting her darkest, most evil deeds and desires. Then, Celebrimbor, mocking her for her retreat. Franky, I thought he was going to be Finrod as well, but alas, it was not so.

And then, he stabbed her with the crown (rude) and Galadriel, salty to the last, PRETENDED to give Sauron the ring. Very slowly, just to watch the pride and greed flash in his eyes, and then, "If I can't have it, then neither can you." Not what she said, but what she MEANT.

And girlie does and Elwing. Too many people in season two have dove off of cliffs; Elrond failed to beat the mama's boy allegations by jumping off a cliff with an object of power (In this case, three). And I was wondering if these guys actually thought that Ulmo was gonna come in clutch and turn them into birds. I mean, he did it for Elwing, so why not her son? Why not some other random person jumping off of a cliff?

In the end, Gil-Galad approaches (I'll get to that part in the beginning with Gilly and Elrond, hold on) and knows that Galadriel cannot be healed. She has the Second Age equivalent of a Morgul wound. It festers with dark magic and cannot be healed.

But who do they have?

THE healer!

The top dog of his graduation class from Lindon's School of Magical and Physical Healing!! Elrond Peredhel Earendilion whatever other name you give him! He's THE healer! Just standing there!

So of course, Mr. Healer is all dramatic, like, "No, we can heal her" through the power of friendship of course, and perhaps these magical rings.

I do think it's interesting how the rings will heal scarring and a Morgul wound; I think they only heal physical wounds, not those done to the spirit (Fea).

And then, we appear in a grassy, bright area, with Gil-Galad watching over Galadriel. He says that it is safe, a sanctuary made by the rings. This is, of course, the beginnings of Imladris, Rivendell, the Last Homely House. In cannon, Elrond and refugees of Eregion fled north, and founded Rivendell.

The river down the center HAS to be the Anduin, I guarantee it.

When the offer of the sword or shield pops up, I though that Galadriel would choose the shield; after all, this series is basically about how Galadriel went from a brutish, hyper-angry, traumatized elleth to a proud, wise, kind Lady of Lothlorien. I thought she would choose the shield, protect what her people had lost so much of, but she remains silent. Gil-Galad chooses the sword.

That scene of the elves raising their fists in defiance felt odd to me; even the children were seen raising their hands. Elves reach their majority at approx. 100 years, so what are these children, who have never seen battle and bloodshed except for that day, doing, wanting to wage war? It reminds me of Feanor and the unrest of the Noldor; a people that knew no bloodshed, and in their innocence, went to their deaths. It worries me.

Alright, one of my favorite parts: Elrond and the Scrolls.

Elrond, Gil-Galad, and Arondir are brough to a city square and we see orcs piling scrolls to be burned. Elrond, who is obviously a scholar, I mean look at him, is outraged. Not only are these the last ties he has to his cousin Celebrimbor, they also hold invaluable scientific information; it's like destroying the elven version of the Library of Alexandria.

Then, my baby boy Gil-Galad is at sword-point (Very scary, but I know what his doom is so I wasn't THAT scared), and just barely saved. Ngl, I had thought Arondir had died in Episode 7, so it was good to see him still kicking!

My favorite parts were Celebrimbor and Annatar's scenes and Elrond's dismay at the scrolls. I would also like to say that I think Gil-Galad slayed in every scene he was in.

Well, then. I must go google when Season Three is expected to show up.

the kids in the walking dead are literally so much more interesting to me than the adults. (And I’m referring solely to the comics here because the show absolutely did not do any of the kids (especially Carl) justice) There’s just something about them not being fully developed people yet, because while the adults are just adapting to suit the environment, the kids are actively developing and coming into themselves in this new world. The adults like Rick, Andrea and Michonne all have years of lived experiences before the apocalypse that serve as a base layer of sorts to their characters. They are developed people, and no matter how much they adapt in the apocalypse, they will never lose that base of who they are. The kids, however, don’t have that. Their base layer is actively being formed while zombies are trying to eat them. This creates an interesting springboard for character development and the way the kids see and perceive the things happening around them, mostly because any development that happens is going to be extreme. Otherwise they die (see: Ron). This is most apparent with Carl (obviously), because he’s the main kid of the series. Moments like when he killed Ben when none of the adults would, solely because he deemed it necessary given what Ben had done are really pivotal to his character, and I think say a lot about the person he was becoming. Same with when he went after Negan, on his own. Anyways, what I’m trying to get at here is that all the kids who were directly exposed to the apocalypse are malleable. There’s an infinite number of directions their characters could take, and I relish in the possibilities. anyways that was my rant, go read the walking dead comics guys!!

Yeah, because that's EXACTLY how the ed community works 🤡

Nah, we don't make those "cute aesthetic" diets (this article talks about the sanrio-themed ones) posts and recipes to help each other in our journeys and recovery, we want to INFLUENCE LITTLE KIDS AND INFECT THEM WITH OUR EDS 🤡🤡🤡

"Why do you always feel so guilty after eating?"

Meanwhile my YT reccomendations:

"WHAT I EAT IN A DAY AS A FAT PERSON CRINGE COMPILATION🐷🐷🐷"

"FAT ACCEPTANCE CRINGE 💀"

"BODY POSITIVE ACTIVISTS ARE DYING"

Being chubby/overweight is just so unfair, people bash and disrespect you no matter what you do.

No matter what food you eat (if you eat unhealthy, they hate on you saying how "they could never", but if you eat healthy, they think you're lying and eat much more when no one is around)

No matter if you exercise or not (if you don't, they yell at you to go to the gym, but if you do, they either don't believe you or make fun of you for being a fat person in the gym)

If you have an ED, they don't believe you (because society thinks only skinny people struggle with them) and claim you just eat too much.

If you say you like being fat and feel comfortable in your body, you're automatically promoting morbid obesity to everyone around (or have a sick fetish for fat people)

If you say you dislike being fat and plan to go on a diet, barely anyone believes in you. Most people just make bets on how long your little "diet" will last.

Society does all those shitty stuff to you and then say they do it because they "worry about your health" but you know damn well they're lying (because in cases where a skinny girl literally promotes pro-ana behaviors and starvation, no one bats an eye)

Thank you mom for critisizing me for weighing my food. That definitely doesn't make me feel any more insecure and stupid 👍

Yk when you're having a conversation and it's like... too much stuff is going on, options, tasks, plans, etc, and it gets too overwhelming, but you can't do anything about it bc then you're being "rude". Like, I'm just overstimulated. Like, they claim to want to help me, but the moment it becomes annoying they just give up completely.

So, like, I just really wanted to write this down and like others have talked about this but like... most of y'all prob know the whole saying of "autism is a superpower" and all that. And that's all well and good, and it aims to encourage people to see autistic traits and behaviors in a positive light, and notice what they can bring to the world.

But do people think about this?

Autistic people aren't superheroes. They're people. Humans. Humans who think and breathe and laugh and cry and feel.

Autistics are not these crazy, weird anomalies to dissect, to study. We are not an attraction to laugh and talk about. We're people.

People who have struggled and been misunderstood and isolated because this world was not built for us, because we do not have the tools necessary at our disposal. Because no matter how hard we try there will always be those people. Those situations. Ones we are not able to handle like others do.

And this isn't just autism! It also goes for other neurodivergent or people with mental health problems - and even problems with physical health! We do not fit in the category of "normal" that has been fabricated by society that puts people in groups and places some higher than the rest, so we become this weird, alien thing to look down on and study.

We are not aliens.

We are people, just like the rest of you.

is that normal that after finally having read the raven cycle i can’t pick up any other book? like it’s over for me. i KNOW that nothing will ever hit as good and might as well not even try 🚬

as a young afab queer person going into computer/data science, it makes me so sad that the face of the tech industry is a largely misogynistic homophobic transphobic trump-suck-up unethical billionaire bro club like musk, bezos, and zuckerberg. like, computers and the internet have limitless potential, but we’re using it for this????

i cannot wait until all these dipshits get what’s coming to them so a new generation of leaders can rise up and make tech kind.

I HATE HATE when my parents confront me abt things, like I understand it but I just want them to shut up and leave me alone tbh.

Like today my mom was all like ‘Stop taking to me like your the parent and I’m the child’ well maybe if you regulated your emotions and stopped acting like a five year old I’d treat you like my mom. Maybe if I didn’t have to comfort you everyday because you feel unhappy with your life I’d treat you like my mom. Maybe if you didn’t expect me to always be all sweet with you, and make you feel better about being with my dad then I’d treat you like my mom. Maybe if you stopped complaining about every single little thing that’s wrong, I’d treat you like a parent.

Stfu.

Also she got mad that I’ve been using pmo, in regular speech since it’s disrespectful, ITS A FUCKING JOKE. She was all ‘What if your dad told his father he was pissing him off?’ Yeah I guess it wouldn’t go over well bc my dad’s father is practically abusive.

Anyway, I think I’m just mad bc I broke my fast.

I’m so done. I’m going back to school in a few hours, I just pulled out a chunk of my hair, I ruined my fast, and if I tell my parent they’ll send me back to the ward, and I have a therapist appt later today.

Hey so I ADORE Brooklyn Nine-Nine right? The characters are just so great so fun, it's super funny but it's also good at tackling harder topics especially within the realm of the police and America as a whole. Recently my dad got me an NYPD sweatshirt cuz I love the show so much and when I love something it becomes part of my personality but every single time I wear it I feel awful because a lot of police suck and America sucks and I don't want to give off the wrong message of me supporting the police, I just really like the show.

I just wish I could wear merch from my favorite show without supporting basically everything I hate.

Anywho thanks for reading this little rant, maybe y'all feel similar especially if you also really enjoy Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

I don’t know what it’s like to be on hormones. I DO know what it’s like to be given a hard time over something you want because someone else is afraid. And I’ve seen a close friend or two (one was my ex) go through a LOT thanks to others who disagreed with how they identify. Especially if the individual in question is an older teen or grown adult, let them be. They’re old enough to know. If you don’t agree with something, that’s okay. Yes, there are cases where something happens someone may regret or not be completely happy with even after.

But for the most part — and I’m trying to say this carefully — the older someone gets, especially if they’re not changing their mind or seem to lean into it… they’re likely to know.

As someone who knows what it’s like to struggle with their gender expression and / or sexual configuration, I can speak on this to an extent. Let me clarify: I was born female. I choose to live as a woman, though some friends call me different pronouns because everyone who knows me sees me differently. Some see me one way, others see me another. But I dress and act how I please. I generally don’t speak on this with those in my life… seldom, if anything. I have gone through a long and hard process of self-discovery over the years, and that is the conclusion I came to.

I have my reasons why I made my decision; I don’t want to share them in this post, since it’s probably not necessary.

I don’t completely hate or dis-like my body. There was a time I did. This is my experience. This is in NO WAY to dis-credit others. I’ve learned to appreciate it and love it. I’ve made about as much peace with it as I can. Does that mean I never have days where I still feel a little bothered?

No.

Not everybody ends up making peace or deciding they can go without hormones or surgeries, and it can very much impact them. They shouldn’t have to suffer because of someone else’s preferences or comfort. People worry about things like this being dangerous — O.P. is right to say that lots of things can be considered “risky” or “ir-reversible.” Many of those things people still do, and somehow they’re given less fuss, depending on what it is. But, especially depending on age, for one, a person has a right to make their decision. They have a right to bodily autonomy. For my friends who don’t identify as the gender they were born with, keep rocking!

Don’t let anyone ever tell you what you can or can’t do, because it’s YOUR body and YOUR choice. You can’t control their fear over something they don’t like or understand.

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time
