the company i work for decided that its switching from the german formal "You"(Sie) to the informal "you" (Du) in all of our websites so now we have to scour the entire database to change it and i quite frankly hate that, not just bc the unecessary extra work but especially bc its such a weird and unecessary change

i bet its bc everything here is getting englishfied (both literally and culturally it feels like, when my new boss talks its half in english bc every second german word is just replaced by an english one despite there being perfectly fine words for it in german too, its so annoying) and bc they want to sound more personal in hopes of getting more clients bc 'company is your fwiend uwu!!', i know this here is the amercian tm site so you wouldnt understand really but i do not want to be greeted with 'du' by companies, no, thats too personal, you dont know me and im not giving you my data, stay away!!

i guess thats how i would describe it .. the formal you is like a polite distance, like someone you dont know staying outside your personal space, but when its the informal 'you' it feels invasive unless i told you you can call me that, and that goes double for companies

maybe its a small thing that doesnt seem important but i cant stand it, im just a little part time worker doing data work so i got no say in it but the companies founder also announced hes giving his post to his kids some time ago so ...... since then theres been alot of changes and new projects that solely aim to imitate whats popular and whats done by other companies, despite ours being one that is, or used to be, intentionally different, like, that was the POINT, but i guess chasing trends is just too appealing for CEOs

#ganondoodles talks #personal #rare personal rant #theres more and more changes that feel so weirdly forced #like man #i thought being different was the whole point #like climate and ethics are .. or were .. the core idea and now i guess its just fine to do whatever conventional companies are doing #yeah woohoo lets also do an app thing that forces people to sign up if they want reasonable prices!#smartphones the standard everwhere!#who needs anything physical if you can put it in an a phone so syphon off data directly out of people fingertips!! yea!!!#lets use AI pitcures bc we refuse to hire more graphic desingers and they are jsut so overworked uwu #climate? ethic? whats that #argh #sorry this needed to get out #recently had a stupid conversation with a coworker bc i asked them why we are okay with AI shit now when it goes against what this-#company was presumably founded on #and he was rly defensive and said welll we dont have time and its cheap and also maybe we should got WITH the time #like that last thing especially pissed me tf off #but i cant afford to lose this job #im starting to hate it more though so the dream of being able to stay like this might not be real #i cant get a job in this place that is as nice to my mental health so idk man #i wish i was good enough at merch and online stuff so i could live of that #but even trying to find out how taxes work on that stuff is a nightmare to me

aaaand immediately after answering that ask i got one pretty much saying what it is. thankfully tumblr blurs pictures in asks until you click on em so That wasn't spoiled for me but still. cmon

#tired sigh...#i wanted to hear it from the man themself!#and i was happy to have a couple of days of Excitement!#yall just... be considerate of others please #dont spoil things unless Explicitly Asked #if you wanna share say 'hey! i know! can i tell you?'#and if the answer is No (or if there is no answer) then dont! please!#basic online etiquette!#even if What It Is is easily found #some people wont go looking! we'd like to Wait & See! its not obvious to Everyone!#and it might not have been Intended to be easily found #absolutely unprompted #sorry just. spoilers really bother me in certain situations #especially when its an individual creator excited to share something they're putting out into the world #having their chance to be the one to Share taken away from them #so just! yk! be nice! hush up! hold it for three days! Three! thats not a long time! you can do it!#be considerate of clown & others!#think before you speak yk...

By the way. Buying jeans in stores is impossible if you are shorter than average and they are gonna drag behind you like a veil. Have fun tripping on them (It's me. I am short)

#brought to you by me buying jeans today #they are said to be ankle length #spoiler: NOT ON ME #they go midway to my heel #if i tuck them in slightly they are great #but the point is #i am 158/159 cm #in feet i think that's either 5'2 or 5'3 #THERE ARE PLENTY PEOPLE SHORTER THAN ME #if i can't buy jeans because they are long enough to cover my entire foot and a few cm of floor as well #what the fuck are people even shorter than me buying #a year ago i bought these loose summer pants that were said to be in length somewhere under the knee #THEY GO TO MY ANKLES (they are great pants btw. the only pair of loose pants i own because all the other ones in stores are too f long)#i know getting clothes tailored is an option #but i am really not gonna do that with everything i am buying?#especially jeans #since i never know how long they are gonna last #my thighs are thicker and touch each other so they have a tendency to tear in between my legs #sometimes they last years (current record 5 years)#and sometimes they last 3 months #i never know until i wear them more often #and i am not gonna get my clothes tailored every 3 months #i am on the skinny side so idk what the plus-size clothes situation is like but according to all evidence: absolutely horrible #anyway #brought to you by me bcs i dont shop online often and prefer stores so i can try things on first without having to return them after buying #also reminder that i DID buy nice jeans today. its just that i hardly ever find some #ohv and obv tall people also have it bad™ i am sorry for your naked ankles in winter weather #ema rambles #possibly to delete

i'm the antonymph of the internet

#how many tributes to this song will i make in my life #MANY ! it literally changed my life and means a lot to me. i love antonymph and vylet pony's music is worth checking out - please do.#unsupervised internet access as a queer neurodivergent kid anthem !!#i chose to do misty since we all know i like drawing her in experimental pieces and putting her in outfits. she also has art in a gir hoodi #from the clash team in treasure trove!! :D #this is also experimental/stylistic as well!! had fun!! nice to just draw something in one day and not worry. leaves me tired but...#haven't done a nice piece like so in one day in a while!!! i'm very proud :] it's a fun one #anyways... both a little tribute to the song and misty as a character #ihave so many thoughts about misty even if i dont talk publicly on them. shes a very interesting character to me and i care about her so #much. i compared her to fluttershy in the past - and realized that if i liked ttcc as a kid she would've been my favorite.#fluttershy on her own meant a lot to me as a child. including mlp itself as it's one of the core things that got me into drawing art online #a lot of my analysis on misty and headcanons at least on the more emotional scale do come from a bit of projecting but...it makes it more #fun to me when i can put myself into the shoes of a character like her who i already relate to. rrghh too bad im scared to talk about her #too much in nuanced detail in public since some people are... not so nice about her. though i know the tumblr audience is nice and unders #standing!!#anyways from me just having fun being me #i let misty have a little bit of fun... something i think she would possibly enjoy? i do see her as someone who gets nostalgic #and is stuck in more childish things and matters. she wants to play ip dip with you...its very sweet to me. letting myself and her be #confident through a song that means so much to me is kind of powerful to me. i had a lot of fun making this drawing.#anyways. love this song. love ttcc. love mity /p. be swag and be self indulgent and have fun. you can do anything u want forevah #toontown #toontown corporate clash #antonymph #guz art #rainmaker

read a post that said chappell roan's music was boring as fuck and thought they were just being annoying on purpose. Sad to learn this person was right

#likeee i have lost any sort of fate in usa pop female singers a long time ago but #so many friends so many people online hailed her as the second coming of lady gaga or something #and when i finally decide to give her album a listen its just... 40 minutes of the most boring 2010s pop #not even trying to hide the fact that this is her take on taylor swifts 1989. but even more boring and with a better voice #she does have a nice voice and the production was good but with the sole purpose of grabbing lesbian taylor swift fans its sooo obvious man #i wish lesbians made good music. like for real good music. (im talking about patti smith/pj harvey/fiona apple levels of good music.#sorry im that type of person with that type of normal taste but my god. not a single artist does it like them nowadays. and its annoying)#female artists no longer hit like mid 90s tori amos and its so sad. and fuck 2010s pop i hate that shit i cant believe we are back to that #so fast #i saw an add to a concert with only 'queer female artists' and everyone was saying oh this is sooo lesbian coded and shit. i hate it. so #so so much. i hate the stereotypical 'lesbian music' that goes around online. not because i dont believe people cant enjoy things #like you do you but for me all that stuff is soooo boring and seeing that encapsulate what 'lesbian taste' is #is so wrong

ik i talk abt high control groups kinda often but i do encourage anyone involved in discourse in any capacity to watch folding ideas' "this is financial advice" video, because a lot of what he says about the gamestop apes being a self-organizing high control group imo also explains the more toxic discourse tendencies, and i feel like most discussion around high-control groups on here focuses on the tradtional kind that has one or a few distinct leaders which makes it harder to draw parallels between the signs. so i think its important to point out that these kinds of groups can still create that same energy as a unit even if there isn't one specific person calling the shots

#origibberish #namely the signs ive noticed most over the years are obviously internal jargon‚ thats kind of a given when working with microlabels #but see also transmed/truscum/trender/tucute/acey/theyfab/transandrophobia truther/etc etc etc #ideas being boiled down to short gotchas that just get ping ponged back and forth #see The Entirely Of Any Ace Discourse Argument for that but again see 'theyre just trans mras'#and the tendancy for members to turn on anyone who steps out of line even a little #omg i cqnt believe i forgot pro/anti discourse too theyre really bad about all of these on both sides #oh or another example would be steven universe discourse #like 'it endorses letting fascists off the hook' would just get thrown around as if it was undisputed fact despite there being MILES #of shit going on in the background to get to that #anyways. yeah 👍 keeping this in mind has already made a huge difference in how i engage in online discussions #and has also been a good rule of thumb for when to Stop engaging with someone #where if theyre displaying these signs thank you i do not want to be part of this #and like yes that goes for people youre arguing with but it obviously /ESPECIALLY/ goes for people you like #if you have a friend who you feel like you cant say anything that disagrees with them or theyll freak out at you. you dont have to keep #being friends with them. if being around someone makes you uncomfortable and you constantly find yourself making excuses for why #they treat you the way they do then thats a bad sign #and like with that i really hope ive managed to yknow. create a nice space here where ppl feel safe bringing stuff up?#idk

i mean i should probably stop saying shit just to be mean

#on the other hand....#the social environment cultivated on here almost demands it lest i let people walk all over me #definitely one of those skills i picked up in childhood to survive social situations back then #not a great skill. not even one i particularly like using. in fact i hate this part of me that feels the need to be judgemental #the logical part of me- the more ~~evolved~~ part of my spirit you could say knows its stupid and has hated doing it since forever #i completely stopped for a while. and then my abusive ex did all the shit they did so i felt like i had to dig that judgemental asshole sid #back up to defend myself bc ik thats the level they operate on. but it also started being the level a lot of ppl on here operated on soon #after (and im not entirely unconvinced they weren't an influence as to why people became more of an asshole on here)#(them or twitter. probably a mix of both but mostly twitter users coming here lol. also had to be an ass on twitter to survive)#so now i feel like i have to cling on to this side of myself i was more than happy to let rot in the dirt bc if i dont then people are gonn #use my vulnerability and niceness and lack of desire to use ad hom n shit against me so they can bully and abuse me and say whatever #and i have to keep this image up of being unphased and happy all the time and then i snap and then its a whole problem to people #so basically be nothing ever bc ppl on here will think thats you forever moral of story i guess im not sure.#best advice i can give: dont exist online publicly in any significant way. if you wanna be a pfpless. bioless account that is your god give #fuckin right okay. never are you obligated to be part of this shit and im personally telling you its hell and if i knew then what i knew #now i would have never started coming on to tumblr in the first place. its cool i learned about all this queer stuff or whatever but it #sucks otherwise #tumblr. twitter. insta. any social media where the point is to make posts and write posts more than anything else #dont bother. so much is lost in text-style communication. bridging gaps is nearly impossible. you will always be misunderstood #i think thats the case for most vocal communication but ESPECIALLY digitally

#its honestly astounding how many people are comfortable with insulting artists for their work #im thinking more artists making fanart of characters and media here btw #like honestly fanart is a blessing and theres people out there taking it for granted #i can browse through tags for hours and see art of my funky little guys all for FREE #someone used up at least a couple of minutes out of their day to draw a little doodle #maybe an hour or two for larger piece or even a full day #maybe just maybe it took them a month to finish that piece #all bc theyre passionate about it #and then they post it online for free to share with like minded people #and someone just comes up and decides they dont like and they feel the need to let the artist know #i feel like no one should have the right to insult a stranger for their passions like that #its not made specifically for you and you dont know the artist personally so like fuck off #im not saying folks need to fall in love with each and every piece of art they see bc not even i can do that #im just saying that people need to shut up before insulting the artist #giving out criticism when the artist never asked you is included in this too btw #if you dont have anything nice to say then dont say anything at all jfc

Thank you for your tags on the baeddalism post. As someone who is aroace (formerly biace) and a nb transmasc I've literally watched every identity I have be dragged into discourse time and time again and it's always the exact same rhetoric to a nauseating degree. People are so terminally online that they constantly invent new nonexistent stereotypes of other queer identities to get mad at or just pick a queer identity to be the monster of the week, and it's excruciating to see it repeat the same way everytime.

I wanted to try to respond to this more eloquently after i had some caffeine, but if we wait for eloquence itll go unanswered for years. but lmao yea of course. Im also aroace and enby. I was here since like 2014, I suffered through reading all these same stupid arguments about a-specs and my tolerance for it is so fried. The queer infighting and gatekeeping bullshit is so rotting. I hope we learn one of these days. My disillusion that this keeps fucking happening is at least tempered by the fact that all the blogs who I followed for good takes on inclusionism and queer solidarity during the acecourse are also not tolerating this shit, and they are recognizing it as the same old bullshit its been the whole time.

#asks #tiredtief #i am so bad at actually Arguing w ppl so i try to avoid engaging directly as usual but i continue my tradition of #steaming in the fucking tags lmao #anyway hi. welcome. ill follow back. u seem nice #also i wish it was just terminally online brainrot but unfortunately i think this shit predates the internet #and this shit = ppl being stupid bitchy assholes to each other. i have an unfortunate feeling that it is merely an extension of the old.#call yourself a community organizer but youre not on speaking terms with your ex roommates thing. and its annoying ppl #applying like toxic friend group drama dynamics to a marginalized community cos they cant help but pick fucking fights i guess #my point is ppl have probably been being stupid toxic assholes about community since we started being people and having community #and it sucks and its always sucked but we made it this far. so hopefully we can keep going to go be stupid assholes to each other in the #future. i worry this is coming across as misanthropic. its only a little misanthropic. humans is humans. not good or bad but also i think #as social animals we are fundamentally fucking Annoying. i want to believe that we can like. get to a point where we stop arguing about #peoples identities like this. and maybe we will. but we will almost certainly be arguing about some other dumb shit. hopefully like some #low stakes fandom discourse or sports teams. discourse is brainrot but getting into meaningless arguments with fans of a different sports #team does fundamentally feel like a healthier expression of toxicity than starting queer separatist movements in the name #of protecting vulnerable ppl while not realizing that seperatism is just Isolating vulnerable ppl making them more susceptible to all the #harms you claim to want to prevent. dont ever fall for the reactionary exclusionist kool aid folks. even if they frame it as #reactionary seperatism. thats bad for you and your whole community youre cutting yourself off from and we cant be doing that shit #with fucking fascism impending everywhere and shit that targets and harms all of us up on the chopping block. goddddd #anyway. i need to go to the store.

eepy

#it feels very weird to be back in my dorm for the summer #last summer was so bad. I was so lonely the whole time it almost killed me #and Im feeling that start to creep up on me again even though I hung out with a friend for hours yesterday #and im talking with online friends basically all day #but idk. I called my mom today and she was looking at facebook the whole time I called her (i could tell)#and I always feel so so worthless no matter what I do #I try so hard but I just!! cant connect with people! in a meaningful way!#I want to be in an active groupchat. a friend group thats always buzzing #to hop in vc and not feel trapped by my own problems with socializing #people reach out to me and i thank them and dont really come back (because im introverted and also because I feel so annoying all the time #people say im nice but sometimes I do genuinely wonder if thats all i am #like i am nice! but thats it. no one wants to talk to me beyond that because im also insufferably awkward and annoying #but in brief exchanges hey at least im nice!#sigh. i dunno #I have no self confidence and I feel guilty for doubting the people who are nice to me #or not trusting when they say they like having me around #because I just. I cant believe it. I dont get it. I dont like having me around and Im ME lmao #as I say so often in my head #if it makes you feel any better im constantly crushed by guilt and shame 👍#shut up me

these tumblr boycott protests are always a mess but this latest one has to take the cake. you tried to blaze this?? you tried to give tumblr money. to protest tumblr.

#hey guys i wanted to boycott chik fil a so i gave their board of directors 500 dollars to spread the word about it for me #avpost #i dont think the idea of like boycotting a website is inherently bad but.#every time someone tries to 'organize' one its just so clear that they put no thought into it whatsoever #just like made an angry post and asked people to boost it and did no planning for how this will work beyond that #bc even an ounce of thought on how this would work couldve told you DONT GIVE MONEY TO THE PEOPLE YOURE PROTESTING?#youre MAD that you weren't able to give them MORE MONEY as PART OF YOUR BOYCOTT PLAN.#anyway i guess whatever if you want to log off that weekend its your business. im busy so i probably won't be online either way just like #idk maybe some actual thought and people who know what they're fucking doing to run this would be nice #since i really don't think that. this is going to accomplish anything

ughh I'm getting nostalgic listen to my ramblings boy

i remember how in the early 2010s mcr were still kinda ridiculed online and treated as a lame edgy ass band for stupid girls (read: i think im better than you. also a misogynist) and it still angers me to no end actually

now I know better than listen to bullshit like this but as a lil guy? nah, I took it personally and was super insecure. not to mention I had no friends and a shitty home™

that is, until i entered the fandom. it was so fun and so different from what the godforsaken school was - hell I could talk to people and not feel like a failure. or left out. or straight up bullied. it felt so good. I even got to be best friends with one person. we talked almost every day for two years. I still have a folder with a bunch of memes and screenshots. check up on it once in a while

I think it was really important. like i think I would've turned out to be a completely different person without this

I love the feeling of belonging somewhere and being in a fandom is sure as hell a good way to get to experience it. and this still rings true even though im all grown up now I guess

everyone say thank you internet

#talk tag #love letter to fandoms i guess #and online communities #btw it makes me so happy mcr is no longer considered lame #like hey tbp is a classic at this point #im so happy #even though i dont listen to them on a daily basis im like #we made it!!! we got through!!!yippee!!#it's always been about not giving fucks about what people think #and being proud of who you are #but like #it's nice when great music and ideas are recognized yk #ill never stop being a fan of this goddamn band ahh
