#I blocked someone over this shit

[infpravenclaw5w4idkwhatelse]

Sometimes I forget that real people in the lgbtq+ community do also hate asexual and/or aromantic people, and then I stumble across one post about one thing that so many different groups of people do that’s annoying, and it mentions aroace people as a category specifically as an example (no hate to op. I do disagree because I think the tags is actually where someone’s supposed to relate a post back to themself?? Like. That’s their intended function? Off topic. Anyway) but the rest of the tags are full of people being like ‘#asexual people are so annoying’ or ‘#aroaces are just straights who can’t get any bitches’ or ‘#theyll never be part of the community’

And 1: so much of that is bullshit that homophobic people use to discriminate and belittle other people in the community, and you’re just gonna rebrand it slightly to the left, and it’s ok now?? How does that make any sense at all? Riddle me that one, Batman.

And 2: that post wasn’t even intrinsically aphobic. You specifically make it so because what? You can? That’s a different flavor of exactly what the post was arguing against (adding your own two cents and changing the meaning of a post)

And it just makes me sad to see. Because what do you mean so-called liberals and fellow gay people (umbrella term obvs) are out there, not only devaluing ace and aro people’s identities, but going out of their way to make that known and exclude them on a post that’s not even about that. What the actual fuck has gotten into you? How is you claiming to be superior for feeling attraction any different from aroaces (or any combination of that) claiming to be superior for not feeling attraction?

(aka, the reason you cite for hating them) ((plus, the only, the only, reason aroaces people would celebrate it is in retaliation to having attraction being The Best Ever shoved so far down our throats we can’t conceptualize our self-worth without it, but I digress))

Sorry about the *scrolls back to the top rq* 5, about to be 6, paragraphs, I just really needed to get this out of my system.

I like Bluesky well enough, but probably my favorite thing about it is that the culture of "block, don't engage" has gotten me so much more comfortable with blocking for whatever trivial reason I feel like that it's also drastically improved my Tumblr experience.

[linka-from-captain-planet]

hello fandom just a quick reminder that publicly engaging with troll bigots posting nasty hateful bullshit accomplishes nothing but amplifying their voices and repeatedly exposing vulnerable people to vitriol they may not have had to see otherwise

Quote tweets are the ambrosia of the gods to trolls. Being at the bottom of a dogpile is a wet dream. Seeing a screenshot of their shit with 30k impressions and 3000 likes and 80 replies and 300 quotes, when they only have 30 followers, is pure crack. They cannot be dunked on because they aren't even on the same court. They cannot be shamed, ridiculed, eradicated, helped, or educated. Every interaction is a win, because it proves to them that what they have to say is worthwhile and encourages them to keep doing it

Block. Report. Ignore. "Don't feed the trolls" is the ancient wisdom for a reason

[blueberrymilkcookie]

on god im always excited when ppl get into my interests but the sole exception is sonic the hedgehog Then im monitoring you extremely closely and any mistake can mean instant block. IT GETS SERIOUS

[vaguely-concerned]

my capacity to see a bad fandom take and just blithely say 'okay! I disagree' internally and move on because it's not my responsibility or concern that someone else thinks that has leveled up so tremendously over the years. I haven't quite escaped the pit of misery yet but I think I'm getting there

[gh0st-with-thee-m0st]

Friendly reminder that everyone engaging in ship discourse within the Ghost fan base is a loser and the block button is free. Secure your peace of mind and never forget: it ain't that fucking serious.

They deadass sexualized her trauma and people like it I'm so fucking pissed

[oceanwithouthermoon]

can we please re-normalize just blocking people and being okay with it when someone blocks you... cuz why do multiple people have a vendetta against me that they talk publicly about, just because i blocked them... one time was odd, the next person that did it mildly annoyed me, the third pissed me off, im so tired of it atp 😭 leave me alone bro i didnt do anything

[thatstheproblemwithnapkinman]

i love batfam tumblr

i can read an essay on the incorrect characterisation of a character in the comics, a beautifully written 10k words that encapsulated my thought and provides evidence

and then immediately followed by a twitter au shitpost where bruce wayne tells clark kent to pay his child support

and i can reblog them both!

[demigod-of-the-agni]

Forgive me, forgive me. I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes.

You know I find it incredibly bewildering to see just how much kalki reflects myself in him like YEAH Duh of course he does, he’s my little guy it’s like his full time job. But at the same time he is a fully functional facet of my being and he is at the mercy of my whimsies, and whatever he discovers in his arduous journey of self realisation is ultimately a reflection of what I discover in the real world. It’s also incredibly funny because ffxiv lore for dark knights is really baked into the idea of (re)discovering yourself amongst the bloodshed and continuing to live and love and thrive despite the world working against us. who would have thought such a raw message could come from an mmorpg side quest about edgy emo boys of all places

also adamantite armour of fending i would lay down my LIFE for u

variant + phone bg version + ID below the cut

tch as if you guys are actually going to use artwork of my little guy as your phone background. i know. how dumb. let a girl dream. i should make an alternate version but it's of Fray and Myste

[START ID: A picture with a red background focusing on the character's bust that is placed to the left of the image's centre. He is coloured with a dark blue overlay, contrasting with the red background. He has brown skin, long black hair that falls over his shoulders, and is wearing blue and gold armour and earrings. He is looking at the viewer, right eye dark brown and the left an glowing unnatural red, with an expression that looks determined and angry and yet bitter and forlorn. In the foreground and on the right side of the piece, a miniature version of the character stands coloured in a light blue overlay and wearing the same blue and gold armour, looking as if he is glowing. He is facing towards the left of the piece, or perhaps at the character bust, his expression unreadable. Above the miniature character's head is the symbol representing the FFXIV dark knight, coloured in gold. END ID.]

I can't stop thinking about trans masc spike. I don't know what fucking worms in my brain are causing this but ever since that article I read about genderqueer spike I can't. I can't watch school hard and not think about it. he comes into frame and I can see the article all over again like an afterimage burned onto the screen. ftm spike. drusilla don't gaf she already knew before he did. do you think angelus uses his correct pronouns

[proshipconfessions]

A lot of good confessions. Thank you all for keeping nuance in your asks while discussing things and/or asking me for input. Let me reiterate that if you’re sending asks about legitimate problems and discomfort due to them, you are not any of the yappers that I complain about and I’m not like… ignoring or deleting your asks in protest. I just became incredibly busy irl and a few of these seem to ask my input, and I’m a huge yapper who fully intends to write like a wholeass essay in response to them lol.
