Isn't it SO fun to be harassed and bullied at school? /sarc

People call me a "FUCKING WEIRDO!" (Yes, that's word for word.)

They make faces at me like I'm sort of disgusting slob. (And they SHOW it and they WANT me to know they think that!)

Along with that, one kid pretended to gag and throw up at the sight of me, and used solar eclipse glasses to not look at me.

One kid called me ugly today! (YAY! /sarc)

They poke and prod at me like I'm a science experiment.

They fear the fact I smile all the time, that I tend to keep an emotionless expression in my eyes. (I'm only following Alastor's advice!)

They love to annoy me... But it's getting tiring.

Only a select few enjoy my presence, they keep me in and go along with my antics. My friend group likes having me around. And other kids I don't know much and we're neutral with each other.

I know I'm "weird" by their standards. But what's the fun in the world without differences?

I know I took on the persona of "weirdo" in my class. I want to go up to a teacher and cry. Because I didn't deserve to be treated like this?

I didn't deserve to be told "You know you should kill yourself" when I'm already suicidal. Did I?

Get told I'm retarded like 10 times already? Maybe more? (I'm not even exaggerating...)

And considering I might have mental illnesses such as possible autism, that's even meaner. At this point I'm not living, I'm surviving.

There's a reason why I've given up. My best friends are on the internet. I don't think without them I would be able to live today. Why do the people who care about me, share my interests, accept me for who I am, respect me, and TREAT me like I'm a human being, so far away?

I know I may be Xenogender, but that's no excuse for treating me no better than some sort of inferior species.

I see no one else getting treated like this, I'm the subject, no, the OBJECT of their bullying.

What the fuck am I supposed to do??? What do you fucking EXPECT me to do??? "Be yourself"??? I AM being myself, and you're fucking BULLYING me!? AM I SUPPOSED TO PUT ON SOME SORT OF MASK? I AM SMILING, MOTHERFUCKER, YET YOU STILL BULLY ME WHEN I DO HAVE A MASK!? /not you, to them

Like, please. Let me rest. Let me have a normal day where I don't have to face discrimination. Where I get treated with love.

I get treated so awfully so much, that I don't even know who I am anymore.

I lost myself.

My catchphrase has to be "I'm so done-" because I said that more than I needed to.

I feel like the next time someone does anything to me, I'm just going to burst out crying.

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂

I hope you're doing alright right now, first things first, i need to let you know that you do matter, and you certainly don't deserve to be treated as subhuman as they treat you, I only wish the worst upon them <3 They are bitches who are a waste of oxegyn, they need to put you down to feel something or feel like they matter, and for that they are the weakest most disgusting subhuman people, genuinely hope they get more fucked up than they ever made you feel 🧡

It's pretty obvious that they're trying to make you feel shit, and i wish i was there to fight them off or comfort you when it happened, i said it before and i'll say it again, you don't deserve any of this. You deserve to be happy, and to feel like you are loved and cared for, the way they treat you is uncalled for and it's disgusting [them, not you, your cool] And agreed, your gender or your neurodivergence shouldn't be the reason you get bullied, they aren't things you can control, or things you have to change, they are litterally a part of your being/existence, I can't believe all of the shitty things they're doing, you don't deserve it. Have you tried to tell anyone? [although that doesn't work often, it's worth a try]. It seems like it's really affecting you, whether you admit it or not /nbr /npa I'd reccomend telling a teacher/principle [the meaner the teacher the better], if that doesn't work fight back, physically i wouldnt reccomend but if you have to, do it. Theres not much we can do about bullying, which is fucking shitty, but please hang in there at least and take care of yourself, i care about you and love you /p

I hope it gets better and they stop, they're pieces of shit who shouldn't be making you feel like this, they're insensitive cunts who should have their face cut up, hope they get bullied those fucking assholes

aaanyways. elijahs parents? there is no proof for anything I'm saying, it's just my hc on whoever raised That Guy

Elijah's father would most likely be the.. worse one. It's like with "bad person but only cause they got involved without realising what they were getting into" and "holy shit that is a terrible fucking person I hope they die", and I think his dad would be the latter.

So, he'd most likely be raised religious, and, for whatever reason, outside the Volkov family (so like. the mother is a Volkov. I only believe this cause of a hc I have about the Volkovs that I will never tell anyone). Despite both him and Elijah's mother being Slavic (Russian and Croatian perchance), they both spent most of their childhoods in America, more specifically Ohio... gee I wonder where they met /sarc

But I believe the deal with him would just be the basic "bad religious dad". He puts his belief over people he should care about, such as his family. And, I think, with the whole "random outbursts", "doing things for/to people without asking if it's what they want" thing with Elijah came from his father.

So what about his mother? Now, I think about her more often. My idea of her is like my Roman empire /j

She's the sort of person who wants to kill their husband every time he does something stupid or bad, but didn't have the courage at first. She does care about her children, more than anything, but was too scared of her husband to do anything to help them. Until she helped Elijah's older sibling run away.

With her childhood, and how I suggested that her and Elijah's father met in Camp Here & There, I think that her, Lucille, and Sydney's mother were friends. Her and Lucille being friends could suggest A LOT, but also I can't decide if I want it to be a "Lucille and Elijah's mother worked together to try and get Sydney killed" situation or something else.

But, I've given her a lot more thought. Elijah's father gave him his awful beliefs and actions. Elijah's mother is what made him dangerous. Both of his parents are dangerous people in different ways, one is willing to hurt people so they can be perfect in his eyes, one is willing to kill somebody because they hurt someone she loves.

Elijah's father didn't live to see his son become almost as much of a monster as he is, but he did see in his final seconds what his "wife" had become.

I feel cringe saying all this but you know what FUCK shame and embarrassment!! cringe culture is dead!!!!!!!!!

This isn’t cringe holy shit this is so cool like I genuinely hope they get into this on the show because it’s so cool to think about

Hi!!! If your still taking requests can I ask abt mhin (from touchstarved) with a siren s/o?

MHIN WITH A SIREN S/O

gn!reader | ok. some gender stuff i had to work around here. since i couldn't 100% confirm if sirens affected only men or Everyone (yknow. w women Not Being Sailors) i went w the assumption Everyone is affected. "First you will come to the Sirens who enchant all who come near them" is GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!

and tho sirens are usually half-women i still used gender neutral terms! found depictions of male sirens which disappeared around the 5th century bce so. yknow. mythology.

! a Little difficult to safely prove your problem (especially if you run with the idea that sirens die if someone survives hearing their song) to mhin unless you're capable of transforming into the usual mermaid appearance, or perhaps the half-person half-bird version, etc. in which case,, it's pretty easy to tell. lol. to be fair you point out that mhin transforming isn't exactly safe either.

^ if it's the half-bird version i think they would exhibit a Certain kind of Shock since their form is also some sort of bird creature. like okayyy twinning ?! you'd get to compare your forms and they're like ? there's some major differences between us but i see what you mean

it intrigues them about how good your voice could be, and they wonder how long they could listen or if there's some sort of work around. like would it affect them the same if They were in their monster form, and do either of you really want to test that theory

^ specifically a solution that doesn't involve others bc there Is already 2 solutions,, but neither of you are very excited by this experiment Or involving anyone else.

one big (good!) difference is the fact that you both know you aren't alone, if ykwim. like, it isn't being a siren that's important to mhin, it's that you guys can relate to each other's problems and can face them Together

there is definitely. a conversation you have about whether you enjoy being a siren or if you would try to get rid of that part of you if given the chance. how your thoughts compare to mhin's, and reassuring them that even if You didn't want a 'cure', you understand why they do and support them. or that you Would choose to be something else,, and mhin keeping that info in the back of their mind for later

anyway. on a more lighthearted note.

in general, mhin doesn't really treat you differently than they would if you weren't a siren. other than maybe making sure you aren't picked for karaoke and—depending on how often you sing while alone—making sure it's safe to come into your room, it doesn't affect day-to-day life very much!

being a siren doesn't stop any date ideas, walking around, physical affection, etc. What about a good singing voice means you can't tease them or help them clean up after a mission or trying new sweets together. LOVE WINS!

imagine if it was like,, you had to have the intent of luring someone in + you don't Die if your 'target' survives,, so you could hum or sing without someone being in danger. and Mhin knows that. but the others don't. Idk i think we should let them be a menace. support it, even. play along, if you will

^ ! if this was the case they would at least be very interested in hearing you sing while you're one-on-one. like as a siren Out of the water Not leading sailors into a rocky death,, if you're in a safe enough environment, there's really less risk of...death. and they trust you!

but seriously,, ais and vere say something irritating and mhin is shooting you a look. and you have to tell them No you will Not sing to fuck with them right now

mhin asking if there's specific songs you have to sing or if you could technically sing something dumb + silly. not because they secretly think it'd be amusing to watch someone fall under your control but solely because of curiosity /sarc

! being a siren could potentially pull off different jobs which means you can work as a Team :) no longer alone!

are you a siren with a mermaid form? if given the chance mhin would take you to...a lake...the ocean... a body of water so you can show them what you look like, and they're just. in awe. they understand how sailors would've fallen for you and others like you

Something to be said of how mhin wishes their curse was more like yours in this case (alluring, control over your power, not intrinsically horrific, etc) but Let's not think about that too much

I LOVE JODIE TOO AND I LOVE SPYFALL BUT THERE'S A SECRET THIRD THING I LOVE EVEN MORE ABOUT ALL THIS

the level of "lmao fuck gender norms" that the suit has

I'm non-binary, ace and probably in the aro spec because sure why not(/sarc) and let me tell you. LET ME TELL YOU. I HATE LOOKING FEMININE BUT JODIE IN A SUIT WAS AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF GENDER ENVY (the last time I had gender envy was for Jenna Coleman in a suit but it doesn't count cause that was gay panic and gender envy condensed in 5 minutes of staring at my screen) (I should also add that I have no idea how a gay panic feels like but those 5 minutes definitely were a panic)

and yet, it's also gender euphoria. Jodie in a suit is gender euphoria. the 13th Doctor is gender euphoria. 13's silly little outfits are gender euphoria.

we could've had a female presenting Doctor who was like Missy - dressing with more feminine clothes and highlighting the change, because Missy was having the time of her life - but we didn't. the Doctor still was this silly alien whose gender was not installed and when asked about it an error window pops up. "I never did this when I was a man" is even funnier when you think about 10 saying "it's ok, just us girls" because no, the Doctor never gave a single fuck about gender and they're not going to start just because the way they look and dress doesn't align with your idea of how someone should be.

and the best part? Jodie liked how free from gender norms she was too! in an interview (that I can't find anymore, because why should I remember what i searched to find that interview) she said something along the lines of feeling really good with the character of the Doctor because she's not a regular human who feels like they should follow a specific idea of how they should be and that gives her more freedom to just... be a silly alien, no man, no woman, no gender, no social pressure, only fun and funky outfits with the same amount of colours as the sixth Doctor's coat (I actually never counted. might count and report back about the numbers later.) and I think that's amazing, and the behind the scenes pictures definitely show how much fun she had on the DW set.

(slightly unrelated note about Doctor Who and gender: watch Classic Who. in an episode a companion accidentally becomes a goddess by wearing a bracelet that belonged to a priest, and when questioned how they thought she was a goddess if the priest was a man, she answered that the important thing was the bracelet and not how she looked. Barbara is honestly an absolutely slay most of the time)

but wait! there's and even more secret fourth thing that I love about 13 and her era!

SHE WAS EXPLICITLY WRITTEN WITH AUTISTIC TRAITS

and I absolutely love this, not only because imo it was actually well written, but also because she acts literally like all the other Doctors did. Chibnall accidentally(?) made canon one of the most common theory in the fandom - the Doctor being neurodivergent. (there's a 32 minutes compilation about 10 on YouTube, if anyone has time)

so yeah I really love Jodie and 13 I need to talk more about all of this

I am so normal about Jodie Whittaker holy shit

(appreciation post cause I'm too gay to not yell about this on social media)

Okay so- no spoilers but I just finished her season 12 finale of doctor who and this just is cementing how much I love her???

I almost like her more than 10th doctor- David holds a special place in my heart but I need to re watch his seasons because omfg I love 13 so much

Genuinely I am unwell because have you seen her??? In general she's really fucking pretty but then also in the spyfall 2 part episodes they put her in a suit???

I say this as an ace person but I'm starting to understand what y'all see in celebrities ngl-

Also this post so far isn't even mentioning just how good she is at acting- idk if I'm just gay and bias but Imo she's one of the best doctors acting wise they've had

Look at her??? I love her so much??

Anyways I'm off to watch broadchurch because David and Jodie?? Excuse me????

Right okay so please just- anything anyone has to say about her please respond to this because I am unwell and I need to find my people-

Nkhnvkbmk anyways last 13 gif before I go :]]

[v3nourz]

the letters i wish i sent #1

when u asked me to tell you abt myself i wish i told u all this

-------

 it was diwali when i was born <33 there were crackers bursting everywhere and apparently i didn't cry at all. my mum says i was a really calm baby and i’ve always been someone to not show the world that im weak and vulnerable (omg she’s different she’s not like the other babies /sarcasm). when my parents used to leave me at my grandparents’ house i used to try not to cry. i cried later after they left when i was alone. even now as someone who knows that it's fine to cry and to be weak, i don't want to show anyone that i’m hurt or weak and can't think straight. (she’s different omg /sarc)

i think of myself as a very bubbly person, i’m generally always smiling and happy. i tend to look at the positive side and nothing makes me nervous. over the years i feel i have lost the ability to be angry or feel fear and i hate it. i can’t be serious for my life so feel special i’m not making shitty jokes (is it even possible???) while writing this. basically everything is a joke to me <3 i think love is bullshit. to me love is not possible. but im also a huge sucker for kuch kuch hota hain and jab we met. bommarillu is a must too. i feel we long for certain things and qualities in people and particular behavior, and when we find that in someone, we love them. it's not love, but its like a job opening. we are the employer, we need someone to fill in the position of a romantic interest, and we expect certain qualities, and when someone has those qualities, we feel they are right for the job. and so we start to love them. and with all due respect, it's bullshit.

goals are slay <333 live in my heart frfr. i was 8 when i decided i wanna be rich (go girl pop that pussy periodt). but then i was 10 when i realized that you need to earn your own money??? (like who came up with that ew) so i had various rich profession phases, i started with musician cuz i was in justin beiber phase <3 then i went into my actor phase cuz mahesh babu just seemed really appealing to me (what even omg) then i was in my kpop artist phase cuz junglecock yes then i realized all that is lowkey weird and it wouldn't make me rich enough so then i started to look at proper professions and then in ‘21 i decided on a corporate lawyer cuz they’re so cool with their suits and cars and penthouses and their calm and collected manner <333333 perfect for me <33. in conclusion, my goal is to be rich, allah hu akbar.

weirdly, i want to be a criminal. like not the eugh disgusting kinda criminal but like the mama im in love with a criminal kinda criminal. you know what i mean? like murdering people cuz they hurt me??? ew. no. but murdering them cuz i was bored. that’s better <3. morally gray you know. 

gray reminds me. my slight obsession with kmusic. see, kpop sucks. mainstream kpop sucks. but if you listen to jimmy brown and such. it is heaven to the ears omg that shit is so mmph. anyways. krnb and khh hits hard and it is such a shame that the annoying part of kmusic is more popular than the heaven part <///////3. it is good music okay you listen to it with the idea of hating it so you don’t like it. (psychology major frfr)

dance. this is what you accuse my personality to be. i don’t say shit about your personality being only gym and fapping so… ahem. slay. dance is nice ig but what i actually like doing is writing. that shit hits hard ong bro ong <333 like words just word the right way it is better than anything. 

bdsm. that shit is nice omg so slay.

i’m the most unserious person you’ll ever meet but i love talking about serious stuff omg. i’ll go on for hours if you wanna talk about shitty politics or the world economy and all <333

oh and ✈️

- 🌌 anon

Yesterday I was mindless as fuck, so here my rant about how I don't like the Fandom of my source because of personal to me and Tarn reasons.

✈️: the fact itself is yes, I don't like fandom of our source and I don't like pairings in any way, including the Fandoms I'm not into lol. The more pairings I see, the less likely I will be interested in this source.

Anyways, the long version is under the cut, have fun with this knowledge!

So first of all, yes, these reasons are silly, probably egotistical and tied to us as being from this source + npd where I'm better than all of these people + strange point in being Aroace but being a self shipper and having a "partner" in the source. Aight let's go.

First of all the pronouns. For some reason every time I see a character using she/her or they/them it's always tied to the point that they are fem or nonbinary. That is suspiciously sounds like "pronouns = gender" and I hate that rhetoric because it's false as hell. I don't mind characters using different pronouns, as I really headcanon my husband using Neos lol, but seeing how a new character is using they/them and everyone assumes they must be nonbinary is a little...suspicious. Especially since every single fem character is using she/her, but no one questions it.

Speaking of which. Did you know that the whole Fandom decided that Tarn uses she/her and is a girl? Yeah, that's okay, but for my fucking Quixote, fictive, that's fucked up. It is misgendering for him and he's literally walking on a thin fucking ice when looking for the content for himself. He CAN'T see any shit without it telling him how he's a she/her girl Lesboy etc, any fucking term that makes him anxious and angry. There's almost NO content without reminding him of this, and it makes me and him mad.

Oh and did you know that my husband got the same attention too? His humanisation for some reason is always a white blond skinny girl who's appearance just screams KAREN. And seeing how they ship him with someone who did not fucking care about his mental condition (he was literally abused hello???) and decided to make him even worse by leaving him to die because he just??? Tried to do something to finally get away from this shit???? It feels so... Misogynistic I don't know. Even Titmouse, the only human cis woman in our system, agrees with this. This is just fucked up.

Oh and how you can't look at any tag because they always ship characters? Yeah I dont fucking care how much you love this pairing etc, just fuck you at least TAG IT AS SUCH. I don't fucking care, it's just a simple thing that everyone should do because not everyone supports your ship, and everyone should be mindful of that. I hate how they ship EVERY FUCKING ONE. Just PLEASE I can't take it, there's more shipping art than there's normal art, it's making me mad. They ship anyone without a thought. I don't mind just a handful of pairings and I can list them lol, though even they have problems when looking at how Fandom depicts them. I just... I'm Aroace I can't take it fucking longer. Can I have at least something that is not a fucking pairing. I love the dynamics between these two characters, but because they are working together, because he told the other one that they need to be together (by evil means because he wanted to create a fucking chimeras) or they just looked at each other, OR NOTHING FUCKING AT ALL THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW EACH Other, EVERYONE SHIPS THEM BECAUSE OOH THEY ARE TOOOTALLY ROMANTICALLY ATTRACTED TO EACH OTHER YEAH OFC /sarc. I hate when I see why they have this ship, but I don't fucking care if they love it or not. Tag it, fucking TAG IT AT LEAST. I HAVE LITERALLY JUST ONE FUCKING ART OF THIS ONE CHARACTER BECAUSE EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST PAIRINGS DAH

Just fucking UGH I'm tired...

Also hey did you know that two characters were abused and brainwashed to the point of "obsession" to work for their abuser, that when he told everyone that he's done and the war is over, they almost killed themselves? And you know what Fandom did? They ship them with this abuser and calls them fanboys :) I hate it so much

Talk to Tarn about it, he will tell you how much shit Megatron did to him, that he almost fucking KILLED HIMSELF because of this bitch. Yeah, now tell me that is a good Fandom, making fun of mentally ill, brainwashed and abused villains that are literally trying to fucking live. (also bonus point for hellbat who was killed because he was sure that at war everyone is killed and was trying to make his boss kill him, yeah fuck it)

[wellthatschaotic]

being a system is like. singlets don't know what systemhood is and even if you tell them they don't want to believe This Person I Know Is Actually Multiple People, so going covert even around people who know is literally so easy. our voice and speaking patterns have changed mid-conversation and no one noticed. we can switch right in front of them and they have no clue. we can blatantly not be the host/singletsona, not even trying to mask at all, and they don't notice because they don't want to. if they don't want to believe something, they'll make up their own excuses as to why that thing isn't true. and i mean, it's not like we'll tell them. it's legitimately scary to bring it up with anyone, especially singlets who have no clue what it is or have only heard of like, the movie Split (/neg). they immediately view it as Bad Evil Disorder so they stay in willful ignorance, because how could such a nice person have Bad Evil Disorder?(/sarc).

it's so scary and invalidating to exist where singlet is the default, and you know these people won't understand because they don't want to. because they don't know how to accept it. they don't see you and your friends and your siblings and your partners as "real people" just because they share the body of someone who left months ago. they want to believe this is the person they know, so that's all they'll believe. and you've heard of systems being accepted by the people around them, and systems with friends who respect their names and pronouns and identities, but you can't help but think that's impossible for you. that, in the outerworld, you'll have to mask forever. that more people will try to make you believe your mere existence is unhealthy. that you'll have to spend your whole life in hiding, pretending to be someone you're not.

after all, it's too hard for singlets to believe, right? too hard to understand. too hard to ask for names and pronouns and who's fronting when you meet up. too hard to understand that you don't know all of these people even though they share a body. too hard to accept that there are nonhumans in a human body, and people who remember their lives in a different world.

it's too hard for us to exist.

[amys-the-wise-1]

You're not entitled to a perfect retelling

https://twitter.com/sarahenakamura/status/1465069450651049985

As Sarah Sedai talked earlier, there's a contingent of "fans" who take great pleasure in crossing human boundaries of decent behaviour, threatening media creators bc what they feel they own isn't being made for them.

The story has changed some. It's a new turning of the Wheel.

It's coming from (mostly) one particular demographic, continually blaming casting, blaming plot changes, blaming coding issues, blaming everything *except* their own attitudes and expectations.

Legitimate criticism discusses why the plot was changed, why the editing choices were made, Why X actor/actress was cast, why fridging is a terrible trope, hiding who the protagonist is for the first season is a good thing, etc.

Legitimate criticism can be answered eventually, or in the short term of WAFO. Legitimate criticism stands up under scrutiny and can be answered, eventually.

But making threats towards those who are the lifeline to the fandom isn't how decent people behave.

Look, I get it. The books would never be made like a Branaugh production: directly from page to screen. It's woefully too expensive, in human labour & as capital. One of the richest men on the planet said this is a go. Even he has limits. Even he's not going to risk $10B in the capital upfront on the series, as much as we wish it would happen.

(And yet I've not heard one complaint about the cold opening of Ep 2 when it comes to the viciousness of the Whitecloaks, now. I've not read a complaint that Moiraine got stabbed in Ep 1 from a Tolloc. That contention is quiet as a thief-taker in a trolloc camp. Can't imagine why. /sarc)

But those who felt entitled that it would be 28 seasons of the story to adapt to the screen don't have their $$$ on the line. (14 books and prequel and outriggers) The crew already work impossible hours to produce 8 hours of media for a season. It's not a soap opera, with small sets & minimal costs, in human labour & capital investments. No, this is a big-budget adaptation. An Adaptation.

I bet the underlying complaint, one I might have respected, would have been, "Let's cut everything except [redacted] and focus on only that one character. That can be 8 episodes a season and make me happy."

But it would be cancelled for lack of viewers after 1 season for the lack of fans, for not being closer in spirit, much less canon, telling.

It was never going to be made exactly like the books. That is the downside of an epic story like this, with so many plotlines. How many of those complaining would endure a whole episode of Rand running around EF trying to get anyone to save his Dad's life? Or how many would enjoy 2 episodes of them sitting on the back of the horses, riding from Taren Ferry to Baerlon? A whole episode of the time in Baerlon?

1/3 of the book would be gone in the 8 episodes and almost nothing has happened - including any potential evidence of who the Dragon is.

But to threaten people over it? Death threats? Worse? Intimidation tactics to make people cower, over a show?

The last time that the severe critics got something to cave to their demands a cherished series turned into a walking cluster-fuck of a 2 movie ending, with used food plotline and weak ass characters and acting. Who gives an F* about tRoS now when the series was mishandled to placate the critics who demanded that their wants be catered to. No one could stand that someone other than a white male lead could be a hero. So the exec producers caved and watched the beloved series collapse under its own bad fanservice.

Now? Even the showrunner said that every complaint will have him leaning in even harder on certain aspects, such as introducing polyamory earlier in the story, or the coding of Rand/Mat or making the Cauthons wretched.

I know that the series mentioned up above didn't have a research consultant hired on, in a position of importance, to keep the story close to canon. This person knows the story better than most, maybe even Harriet.

She gives the feedback, the knowledge, the pages so those making final decisions can do so - and thankfully keep the bears out of the damn story.

I've read complaints that the roofs in EF weren't thatch. Another was not including the Baerlon plot stop. That Moiraine was too tall, that Rand wasn't tall enough, that Perrin wasn't burly enough. All of those come across as failure to imagine anything but your personal power fantasy. So many are countless petty complaints that it's not 100% exactly like the story.

What I think they are masking, complaint wise is that these detractors are mad that one, in particular, isn't the complete centre of attention, that the main protagonist isn't being highlighted enough, that women have attention in the story. The complaints that someone other than X has any attention.

Yet none will come right out and say, "I'm mad that the story isn't focused on my demographic and mine alone." These complainers are forced to give attention to something that they think is used food and it's uncomfortable, that others not like them have the story benefit them, too, at least instantly.

None realize that these repeated complaints come across as a narcissist, a narc abusing spouse, constantly complaining, breaking down, gaslighting, demanding and feeling entitled yet giving nothing back because it's not important to them - only their consumption is their goal.

Like a grown Jumara, but less honest in their behaviour and intentions.

"It's not about me so I'm not interested" screams selfish narcissism on a grand scale. That toxic mindset that, if it's not catered to one demographic yet again means that it's too woke, too gay, too woman-focused, etc. It's almost like they didn't listen to the Dragon's epic monologue that "It was never about him" and took it as "It's all about me and only me."

It comes across like a strop, a temper tantrum, that the implied contract aspect of "all fantasy media is for me/ I am the hero of every story" when that paradigm has changed for good, now. The gritty orgy grimdark series didn't even muster that, and it crashed the last 2 seasons with shitty writing and showrunning.

Hell, I mentioned to my Clan Chief that the show is dubbed/subtitled into 18 different languages. 18. He thought it was impressive.

But then he also quipped upon eventually reading the series that "I can tell when the new author took over." (He's read it twice, now, but not like mine who stays nose deep into the books.)

People want this story. But to make money, to have the series run from start to finish demands that non-book readers be hooked in as well. To continue to be made requires viewers. Would something 28 seasons be made? No, not unless it's for a tiny demographic of fans - and only in animation because the cost in capital and human labour would be too great - entirely too expensive.

The EF5 would look as old as Nick Cage on the covers of the books if they filmed it over 28 seasons, as a pure retelling. Recasting characters every couple of years because of RL getting in the way, etc.

I challenge all of these entitled complainers to put up $10B of their own capital and only then would they potentially have a "pure" story told. But none want to put up their own $ to make it happen.

When it's your quid, it's your decision. But would be giving up something they value more than their own consumption - their quid.

They want to be grasshoppers, consuming the media sustenance given to them by others, complaining that it's not good enough while they binge on it.

s o noticed that my thigh gap is gone, and I started dramatic talking and pretend hysterical laugh to myself anf then my first thought was oh I gotta write it down... on tumblr. and then I kept dramaticizing it to myself, screaming around the empty hous ean dealing to myself in the mirror sarcastically about how "this does not affect me at all"... but then I thought "why am I acting it out, am I dramaticizing it for runbrl because am thinking how I will type 'my thigh gap is gone haha this is great this doesn't affect me/sarc' on tumblr" and I stopped msyelf and realised "this doesn't actually affect me who cares if am fat??" and 5hen I thought "that's right literally no one gives a shit if am fat its not like am dating anyone am scared to lose or if anyone would ever like me. people gotta go through so much, like the fact that I literally have the worst personality or the ugly face orr the fact that am a failure why would anyone give a shit about ny thighs when they have to deal with all that lmao" and then I thought "so iw as pretending to myself so that I can continue and lie and pretend about having ed but denying it to idk attention gain and make it look more worse?" and then I looked back and thought maybe am gaslightong myself but then I thought maybe am telling myself am gaslighting myself to keep pretending and acting anf get attention and then I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my double chin and felt bad and was like maybe this is an issue but then I realised taht mentally I was still writing this monologue so I am still pretending and now that m actually writing this monologue am making it sound bad so I am pretending in short this is how most of my thought processes go around being mentally ill and this is why I maintain that am not mentally ill cause am always pretending like I am rn but I actually can't really tell either and doubt both ways so what ever anyone wants to make out of that

I love when everyone posts fantasies about living in a leftist paradise and literally none of them want to do any work to achieve that paradise. /sarc People likely not qualified saying they'll 'give counselling' and 'do tarot readings'. Everyone wants to be the person who 'organises game and craft nights' and other creative endeavours, whilst acting hostile or incredulous towards anyone who actually wants to just do hard labour. They claim that things like 'project managers' would be something anyone would need. We don't need someone whose only skill is to tell people to keep doing their job. The only useful leader is one who has all the skills they're teaching and leading in and also preform that job alongside those still learning. Like, shit, practically bragging that their physical/mental disabilities would exempt them from doing any labour so you can 'appraise anime'? What? (and I want to believe they're just joking and would have a better 'real' answer but who knows). In a true leftist commune, you wouldn't be forced to do work that you can't - sure, but you could still be taught to do something and then DO that something which has functional use.

If you (everyone there) can't farm or hunt, make and maintain shelter, dig latrines if necessary, clean and sanitise everything, cook, make/provide medicine, look after the old, sick, disabled or the very young etc - then there's absolutely no point in organising any kind of recreational activity. Until the place is well maintained, everyone needs to pitch in. Hard labour is essential, what's not essential is working yourself to death doing it for no reward. In a perfect little community, everyone would work a fair amount of time at a job they can do without too much pain or stress, with plenty of support.

These people...it seems less like they want to live and work together, creating their own perfect little society and more like they just wanna go glamping or something together? Or like, run their own college dorm or something (minus the studying). I think they forget that the fact there are people in society now who can spend time doing hobbies and fun activities is because whilst you're not working, someone else is. Labourers whose jobs you don't even seem to have room for in your utopia. If the world as we knew it ended and I was in some kind of commune? I'm trained to look after children, I could do that again, teach them what's relevant in this new society, keep them safe so parents don't have to worry as they do their own duties etc. But if that's not going to be useful, I'd clean, honestly. I'm good at spotting things that need to be cleaned, and being clean is important to me. I'd listen to anyone there who had been doing it for a living and I'd clean for as many hours a day as was needed. I'd also volunteer to serve food and harvest any crops. Hell, let me at that latrine, I don't have a sense of smell and someone's gotta do it.

no one doing any farming on this commune huh

I don't know if you were paying attention there but the part about 'knowing you assaulted someone and then doing damage control before they ever even tell anyone else' is extremely common and it was why metoo was important

it wasn't that everybody who "can't" "get over" being assaulted is fragile and needs extra concessions no one else gets, it's because people who are assaulted particularly at work tend to find that it impacts their prospects because people don't want their victims lurking around in the workplace, or even, the "scene"...you know, like, a social club for niche interest groups, like ....genre music?

So the pros turn to their networks of friends who double as the senior ownership of the workplace or scene, and they say, "that one there is trouble, as a group lets bully that one away....i uh, already started"

But hey, i know you think rapists are better to have around than, ugh, people who put themselves first over rapists (entitled much? The gall, eh. Some people! /sarc) so, you have fun with that. Maybe you can suck their dicks or soldier through some 'unwanted sex' with them or something cause when are you ever gonna get pussy acting like you do. No wonder you hate rape survivors, youre one of those people who thinks "at least someone wants you"

Well hey what if i wanna get physical with you. Too scary? Gotcha. Wouldn't want you to get hurt.

Lets go thruuuuuu the looking glass!

Hello there sir, what say you?

"People who tell everyone who is a rapist are less likeable and trustworthy than the rapists! I see no threat to myself from rape but great threat from the accusation of rape, meaning accusers are scarier to me than rapists; i value privacy so much that i would sooner choose to be raped and keep it private than to be in any way associated with the subject in the minds of however many people. To me the loss of privacy is a rape of reputation or the soul, the self, whereas in my experience, physical events can be brushed off comparatively quickly. In fact many times ive heard the same story told two ways by either party of an accusation and ive usually found the side saying 'that crazy person doesnt know i didnt rape them this is so sad for me' more credible, probably because the idea of being in either partys shoes kind of turns me on and i dont know how to deal with that so i just call us both good and normal and worry that its not true privately because i too see the contradiction in how the accused rapists contribute to multiple layers of loss of privacy for their accusers, but i tell myself they didnt start it by whatever did or didnt happen, theyre just doing damage control over it being started against their will by their accuser talking about it...or their justified fear of their accuser maybe talking about it someday. Please dont make me address this in any way."

Ah! Well, g'bye now! G'bye!
