art summaries are hard actually

[calypsolemon]

Everyone on this website talks about the choice to not have children to end the terrible cycle of familial abuse or whatever but I feel like nobody on here wants to talk about the more mundane and pressing reality of wanting children but being paralyzed by the understanding that bringing them into our current society inherently means traumatizing them in some small way simply because there are no good options.

Like. Dont want to put a child through public school because public school sucks, but homeschool is isolating and private school is not an option for ppl with no money. Dont want to raise a child with a forced gender but attempting to raise a child neutrally may socially isolate them or cause authorities to question your parenting methods. Don't want to raise a child in an isolated suburb where they have nowhere to travel independantly but affordable housing with ample room for families in city environments are basically nonexistent.

It can be hard not to feel judgemental of yourself for wanting to bring a child into the world at all under these conditions. Unlike with refusing to continue the "cursed bloodline" or whatever, there's just no personal pride one can take in deciding not to have kids because the world would force me to make choices that hurt them irregardless of my desires.

rant time

out of respect of everyone around you who can ABSOLUTELY see and hear you no matter where you’re seated in a movie theater,

put your phone AAWAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY

stop TALKINGGGGGGGGGGGG

i don’t care how bored you are, oh my god, why do you get to drag down MY experience? what makes you so entitled?

i happen to go to movies to get immersed and escape for a bit, why does your phone screen and talking (or worse, your PHONE CALL??????) get to drag me out of my entertainment? (the same one we both paid to be here for???) pull ME out of the film to think “oh my god, how rude and stimulation-addicted can people be???” and then ponder how much i can tolerate & weigh the potential awkward or aggressive outcomes of confrontation (rather than focusing on the story..)

it is outrageously distracting, to say the least. and i’m an opening night type of movie goer. so how EXTRA rude can you be to people who are all exited to be here first?

don’t even get me started on the people who want to take pictures and film the screen for their instagram stories or tiktoks or whatever. it’s not a concert, christ almighty. you don’t need the clout for being the first person to leak an exciting scene, your status doesn’t need the title screen attached. you don’t have to make the first gifs online of that moment. you’re not the paparazzi of fandom, you don’t need to be the first to break the news that x, y, or z happens in the plot. you just spoil surprises for everyone else

oh my god. put the phones away for the 2 or 3 hours. yes, even the long ones. that’s what you DO to be CONSIDERATE OF OTHERS in movie theaters, this is not actually up for debate. some people just need to be reminded.

also idk if this goes without saying but i probably wont be posting sims for a really long time. im not even gonna predict a timeframe bc i dont wanna put any pressure on myself, all i'll say is im just not interested in ts4 at all right now. this blog will be mainly dragon age/rpgs for the foreseeable future. so if that isnt your thing then bye for now my friend, good luck out there champ 🐝

and here i was, thinking that the majority of people following me are here for the zelda/comic stuff O.o

[the-meme-monarch]

man i don't mean to be a bitch about it but i need to rip my teeth out Badly

[ghastbutlikegay]

by the way i just wanna make sure it's clear that i would 100% rather have my RSD triggered than have someone let me make them uncomfortable to protect my feelings. my disproportionate emotional response is not your responsibility. i dont want people to feel uncomfortable or upset because of me. me having ADHD and being sensitive is not an excuse for me to hurt you

Idk if you're still doing the assumption game, but here's another one: you have feelings about Alfred Pennyworth, and they aren't good feelings.

(Aka you don't like Alfred)

Is this really something you have to assume I feel like this is just a known fact like if I had a wiki page in the trivia section it'd just say "Oifaaa does not like Alfred the butler"

These two small captions in the Nikke Old Tales event got me a little emotional, ngl.

There's something that gets to me about experiencing something terrible, and all the consequences of that terrible, but still being able to put yourself back together. Because you're still you, even if things look a little different. Even if the process of reassembly takes a long time.

Image text below cut:

First image: Screenshot of an in-game item from the Old Tales event in mobile game Nikke: Goddess of Victory. The icon is a silver hand mirror with a textured oval frame and scratches where the glass used to be. The text reads as follows: Shattered Hand Mirror. Can a shattered hand mirror still be considered a mirror? Some say it can, while others say it can't.

Second image: Screenshot of an in-game item from the Old Tales event in mobile game Nikke: Goddess of Victory. The icon is jagged broken glass, arranged in a shape which could be put together to fit inside the hand mirror frame. The text reads as follows: Mirror Fragment. A shard of a mirror that can no longer be restored. It can't be used as a mirror and injures those who touch it. But that's okay. Even though it's shattered, it's still a mirror. Just piece it back together. Although there will be marks, it doesn't change the fact that it's still a mirror.

wish tumblr could let you mute users instead of blocking being the only option

re: ur post about toshiro and laios - i humbly offer this panel of laios completely misunderstanding the way izutsumi eats isn't an 'eastern thing', cuz hes not used to it

a good panel to bring up 👆 laios is a great example of a well meaning white person who ends up making micro agressions and racist generalizations without realizing because hes ignorant and very underexposed to any cultures other than his own. i mean hell both he and falin are extremely racist about 'the mountain people'

and much like theyre racist towards the nomadic people, kabru is racist towards kobolds due to him conflating them with monsters. tbh i think every character in dunmeshi exhibits some sort of racial bias at least once, which can be hard for fans to deal with, as i think most people are unused to racism being one of the major character flaws in their favs. unfortunately, when writing a story that is implied to take place in an earlier time period, or hell even just writing a story period, you cant really ignore racism as part of your worldbuilding, especially if, like kui, youre using it to make a point.

tldr everyone in dunmeshi is kinda racist in one way or another and it is a deliberate choice on kuis part, because she wanted to portray both real-world tensions through a fantasy lense and flesh out her own world with realistic tensions that would build in its history. if you are ignoring that the characters are racist then you are missing the point

also, im saying all this as a white person myself, so please Please do not think that im the only person talking about this. there are many poc, both in the replies/tags of my post and in posts of their own, who have made similar points to me and brought up things i havent touched on and you should absolutely read their takes as well
