Work has given me the opportunity to be fired for the funniest/stupidest reason I’ve heard of in a long time (like completely disproportionate to the forbidden deed) and I’m so tempted.

So today I want to talk about puberty blockers for transgender kids, because despite being cisgender, this is a subject I’m actually well-versed in. Specifically, I want to talk about how far backwards things have gone.
This story starts almost 20 years ago, and it’s kind of long, but I think it’s important to give you the full history. At the time, I was working as an administrative assistant for a pediatric endocrinologist in a red state. Not a deep deep red state like Alabama, we had a little bit of a purple trend, but still very much red. (I don’t want to say the state at the risk of doxxing myself.) And I took a phone call from a woman who said, “My son is transgender. Does your doctor do hormone therapy?”
I said, “Good question! Let me find out.”
I went into the back and found the doctor playing Solitaire on his computer and said, “Do you do hormone therapy for transgender kids?” It had literally never come up before. He had opened his practice there in the early 2000s. This was roughly 2006, and the first time someone asked. Without looking up from his game of Solitaire, the doctor said, “I’ve never done it before, but I know how it works, so sure.”
I got back on the phone and told the mom, who was overjoyed, and scheduled an appointment for her son. He was the first transgender child we treated with puberty blockers. But not, by far, the first child we treated with puberty blockers, period. Because puberty blockers are used very commonly for children with precocious puberty (early-onset puberty). I would say about twenty percent of the kids our doctor treated were for precocious puberty and were on puberty blockers. They have been well studied and are widely used, safe, and effective.
Well. It turned out, the doctor I worked for was the only doctor in the state who was willing to do this. And word spread pretty fast in the tight-knit community of ‘parents of transgender children in a red state’. We started seeing more kids. A better drug came out. We saw some kids who were at the age where they were past puberty, and prescribed them estrogen or testosterone. Our doctor became, I’m fairly sure, a small folk hero to this community. 
Insurance coverage was a struggle. I remember copying articles and pages out of the Endocrine Society Manual to submit with prior authorization requests for the medications. Insurance coverage was a struggle for a lot of what we did, though. Growth hormone for kids with severe idiopathic short stature. Insulin pumps, which weren’t as common at the time, and then continuous glucose monitoring, when that came out. Insurance struggles were just part and parcel of the job.
I remember vividly when CVS Caremark, a pharmaceutical management company, changed their criteria and included gender dysphoria as a covered diagnosis for puberty blockers. I thought they had put the option on the questionnaire to trigger an automatic denial. But no - it triggered an approval. Medicaid started to cover it. I got so good at getting approvals with my by then tidy packet of articles and documentation that I actually had people in other states calling me to see what I was submitting (the pharmaceutical rep gave them my number because they wanted more people on their drug, which, shady, but sure. He did ask me if it was okay first).
And here’s the key point of this story:
At no point, during any of this, did it ever even occur to any of us that we might have to worry about whether or not what we were doing was legal.
It just never even came up. It was the medically recommended treatment so we did it. And seeing what’s happening in the UK and certain states in America is both terrifying and genuinely shocking to me, as someone who did this for almost fifteen years, without ever even wondering about the legality of it.
The doctor retired some years ago, at which point there were two other doctors in the state who were willing to prescribe the medications for transgender kids. I truly think that he would still be working if nobody else had been willing to take those kids on as patients. He was, by the way, a white cisgender heterosexual Boomer. I remember when he was introduced to the concept of ‘genderfluid’ because one of our patients on HRT wanted to go off. He said ‘that’s so interesting!’ and immediately went to Google to learn more about it. 
I watched these kids transform. I saw them come into the office the first time, sometimes anxious and uncertain, sometimes sullen and angry. I saw them come in the subsequent times, once they were on hormone therapy, how they gradually became happy and confident in themselves. I saw the smiles on their faces when I gave them a gender marker letter for the DMV. I heard them cheer when I called to tell them I’d gotten HRT approved by insurance and we were calling in a prescription. It was honestly amazing and I will always consider the work I did in that red state with those kids to be something I am incredibly proud of. I was honored to be a part of it.
When I see all this transgender backlash, it’s horrifying, because it was well on the way to become standard and accepted treatment. Insurances started to cover it. Other doctors were learning to prescribe it. And now … it’s fucking illegal? Like what the actual fuck. We have gone so far backwards that it makes me want to cry. I don’t know how to stop this slide. But I wrote this so people would understand exactly how steep the slide is.

Hey so like three years ago I think I sent a post asking, effectively, about some criticisms of generally accepted antifascist philosophy that David Rovics made on a like, three hour podcast that was posted on YouTube.
I know I was waaaaaay all over the place and super rambly and it was probably a weird/maybe uncomfortable thing to get in your inbox. Long story short- I was dealing with hella anxiety and undiagnosed CPTSD (at the time, I’ve got a good therapist now and I’m medicated, and they’re both very well managed now) that was partially triggered by events going on during the summer of 2020. I guess I just wanted to apologize for any weirdness, frustration, stress, or problems that might have caused. Realistically I’m probably overthinking this and y’all probably don’t even remember that, but I’ve wanted to clear things up for awhile, so I am. I was pretty embarrassed about the whole thing, even on anon.
Hope you guys are well and have an excellent day. Also, free Palestine. ✊🏻🇸🇩
Oh hey! It's been, well, more than a minute, hasn't it? You're right that we actually didn't remember our conversation very well but we looked it up again to refresh our memory. First: we're well-pleased to hear that you've been able to get help with your mental health, that you're taking good care of yourself, and that you're feeling much better now than you did when you wrote to us in early 2021. Second: no need to apologize! For one thing, you were putting forth well-intentioned and thoughtful arguments in a respectful way. We're always here for that! A movement that won't pause and do some self-reflection or take some self-criticism from time to time isn't a very good movement, after all. Finally: this might be a good time to see what's happened with David Rovics and violent white nationalist leader Matthew Heimbach since Rovics platformed Heimbach in a fawning, two-hour video filled with softball questions and lots of head-nodding agreement about the "anti-white racism" which Heimbach whines about being a victim of.
Tumblr media
On the other hand, we now have this meme thanks to Matthew Heimbach (center, with glasses)
Since then, and after immense public pressure, Rovics did remove the video of his interview with Heimbach. But! Rovics' next move was to talk about the whole affair in an interview with a notorious anti-semite and Holocaust denier, during which Rovics also agreed that "people should be able to ask questions about the Holocaust." and that antifa were "likely Russian agents." Rovics went further then this, hosting and interviewing the noted anti-semite Gilad Atzmon in a discussion about "Jewish identity/tribal politics." All this, of course, led to more public denouncements of Rovics and more criticism. His response has been to cast himself as a victim of "cancel culture" and to categorize his critics as puritan radicals obsessed with identity politics. More disturbingly, Rovics has singled out two critics - researchers Shane Burley and Spencer Sunshine, both of whom are Jewish - and insinuated that they may be Mossad agents, working to discredit him on behalf of the Israeli regime. In the summer of 2023, Rovics publicly doxxed alleged members of Rose City Antifa and then quibbled that he hadn't actually doxxed anyone because he only published their names and social media handles, not their home addresses, in a lengthy essay he self-published in which he also describes notorious far-right extremist and grifter Andy Ngo as "a conservative journalist" and a victim of baseless attacks by antifascists. Rovics appears to have not learned anything from all of this or changed his views in any way. About a year ago, he wrote a rambling screed where he defended TERFs and "feminists," and villainized trans women ("who were raised as boys," Rovics claims for no apparent reason) as the real problem, for their refusal to allow fascist to hold public space or use platforms to broadcast their bullshit. This, according to Rovics, is the real problem - antifascists refusing to concede public space to fascists. So in summation, thanks for reaching out, glad you're doing better, and 100% fuck David Rovics.

My (31 F) friend (late 20s M) is from another state and I live in a city where a big event is happening this week. Some people might be able to guess what I’m referring to, but for the sake of not totally doxxing myself, I will be vague about it. Friend will be called Tim.
Tim is a very good friend who I met in an online D&D group a few years ago. We hit it off right away and have been consistently hanging out on a weekly basis via various online TTRPG hangouts.
Being the elder Internet user that I am, this is not my first time around the block; I have met online friends IRL in my adulthood (with the utmost caution and responsibility, mind you), Tim being far from the first.
Tim’s had it on his bucket list to visit my city and come to this big event for a while, so invited him down to participate. In doing so, I established a couple things: 1) I don’t have the capacity to have someone stay at our house for extended periods of time for multiple reasons (although I did offer him a place to stay for 1 or 2 nights); and 2) I don’t have the capacity to entertain 24/7. I had an experience with a friend who came to visit a couple years back that wasn’t disastrous by any stretch of the imagination, but it did make me realize that I couldn’t offer too much of my time and also keep my house and social energy in check. I tried to be as open and negotiable about this as possible. Tim sympathized and agreed.
I took time off work to hang out with Tim while he’s in town. Tim, my partner (32 M), and I hung out from dinner till past midnight on Wednesday. Tim excused himself from our party as he was tired from his flight. Tim and I hung out from lunch till 11 PM on Thursday. Today (Friday) Tim and I did lunch again, hung out, and got matching tattoos to celebrate our D&D characters, and grabbed dinner. It’s been a great time thus far, and my friend group has taken to him very quickly.
At some point today I explained that because we didn’t have any solid plans for Saturday, I would appreciate the free time to clean up around the house, spend some time with my partner, and generally relax as we already have a full day planned out for Sunday. Tim agreed. We parted ways for the night.
It is still today (Friday). Post-dinner and getting back to my house, Tim calls me and tells me at length that he feels neglected and shoved aside because I don’t want to make plans with him tomorrow. I apologized and we worked through the conversation. He seems to be feeling better now, but I’m having second thoughts about conceding that I was the one at fault here. I think his feelings are valid, but maybe narrow in scope? My partner thinks I’ve been more than accommodating, but I feel bad considering I’m his only friend in a strange new city.
TL;DR: I feel like I’ve hung out a lot with my friend, but he feels I’ve neglected him by not making plans with him tomorrow. AITA?
What are these acronyms?

it’s almost the 8th so happy international women’s day to the major resurgence of absolute sexism and misogyny that the recent situation with christian horner has brought to the female fans and employees of f1 .
regardless of where you stand on the sketchy af handlings of the horner issues the potential of a false claim from a female employee has provided an excuse for male fans to harass and degrade female fans expressing their discomfort with the situation and the treatment of the women involved- particularly in the doxxing and bullying of the woman who initially submitted the claim before the investigation had even ended. Women across tumblr, twitter, tiktok and all have been pushed into retracting their feelings, deleting their posts and videos on the situation from the sheer scale of hate and harassment at the hands of misogynistic fans because ‘allegations ruins men’s lives’. Completely ignorant are they to the fact that they are active participants in the ruining of a potential victims life by exposing and sharing her personal details, and continuing create environments where women are unable to speak about their experiences with sexual harassment and assault .
Ignorant are they to the fact that they are maintaining patriarchal standards that they claim are non existent to ensure that women understand their issues are not important . the 2% chance that an allegation is false is by far the greater are more believable problem than a woman experiencing sexual misconduct at the hands of her employer . not to mention that the majority of sexual assault and rape cases do not revive a sentencing . that doesn’t mean they didn’t happen or that the victim lied. just that the board saw the evidence as inconclusive or not enough to support prosecution . sa and rape have the lowest prosecution rates of violent crimes . also quickly a reminder he was never cleared. huge complaint was dismissed. the word innocent was never used and the lack of transparency on the investigation doesn’t tell us anything of his innocence .
the responses from drivers again go on to validate misogynistic men’s feelings by labelling the potential sexual misconduct of a team principle as ‘noise and distractions’ or that it doesn’t matter to them . it’s irrelevant. and yes i understand that they mean they don’t want to comment on the situation because of its personal nature but that’s not what they’re saying . by trivialising matters of sexual misconduct as mere chatter and sympathising with a potential abuser it’s speaking to your female fans that you are not an advocate for their safety . it says they don’t take sexual harassment seriously .
what they could have said was ‘the matter is not something i’m personally involved in so i can’t provide insight or comment other than my hopes for it to be resolved quickly and fairly with full transparency’ . instead their responses directly downplayed the situation at hand, ignorantly dismissing the weight of the situation its its affect on women across formula 1 by essentially saying ‘who cares’ and provide pathway for misogynistic fans to follow suit .
formula 1 is a sport which in recent years has leaned into welcoming women into the sport, and this is seen by the rotated dynamic of women in f1 from ‘something good to look at before the race’ as comments regarding the grid girls would have it to a grid of 16 cars fully backed by all f1 teams for women to compete in their own formula racing series . this has welcomed a lot more women into the space. however, it cannot force attitudes to change . the only way we will see real change in f1 is to encourage personal growth for both fans and employees wether they be drivers, mechanics whoever . the work needs to be done to truly welcome women into the space that is currently occupied by them in motorsport . and they can start by taking us seriously .

Okay I said on Tuesday in the tags I might talk about plurality n stuff wrt myself. Right now this is more stream of consciousness than anything polished, and idk if I’m going to be up to talking about it with people for a few days.
This is gonna get pretty long so I'm putting it under the cut:
(FWIW, I'm mainly using 'I' here, but that's because I've spent so long trying to make sure I keep plurality stuff off of this blog it feels weird to write 'we').
I think it was... fuck, six or seven years ago now? that I first learned what plurality even was, then another year and a half where I just kept thinking about it for weeks on end before I started to maybe consider that the reason I couldn't stop thinking about it was maybe the same reason I couldn't stop thinking about transness after I'd learned about that.
Even now, I'm still hesitant to claim plurality. It feels like a step too far- like I’m overstating things. I don't feel like one person, but I don't know that I feel like more than one, either. Certainly I don't have clear boundaries between one self and another. It’s more akin to distinct patterns of thoughts and behaviors that I feel like I snap between. Neural pathways that open and close.
There is one consistent pattern I've noticed though: when I'm in a period of stress, those distinctions become a lot clearer, and they tend to stay clearer than they were before even after I can unwind. Which is part of why I'm feeling more comfortable talking about plurality now; I know I'm going to be more people, more clearly, in the next four years.
The other major reason is that I want to not feel doubt every time I talk about us, that I'm just deluding myself. And that means that I need to get more used to talking about us.
So, uh, introductions, I guess? I've opted not to introduce characters (fictives(?)), since they tend to come and go more frequently- usually as I write about them. I think it's something about trying to get into their perspective that creates some of the same sort of neural pathways. If they stick around for longer than three months after I stop writing about them, I'll introduce them then. The sole exception here is Nensa, who meets that requirement.
For now: Hunter, 'me', host(?). He/it. Mostly responsible for getting people and things to where they need to be to work. Emotional regulation and planning type things.
Asher. He/ey. Math/physics nerd, problem solver. He handles the homework :Þ
Nensa. They/she. Minecraft Warden hybrid, stoic, helps with handling sensory overload mainly.
Miranda. She/her. Customer service voice social butterfly. When I need to talk to people at the bank or on the phone, she’s the one who takes the wheel.
Blake. He/him. Punk aesthetics and paranoia. He’s the one who keeps us from doxxing myself every other day, but also he keeps us from opening up to people. It’s a balancing act. (He’s very resistant to posting this.)
Dakota. She/her. Probably the first distinct self I identified; basically the face of my RSD. Very sensitive, cries frequently.
Ulyssa. She/it/void. Goth and angry and rude. It formed semi-on-purpose when Hunter decided to treat the negative self talk while I was spiraling like it was a person he could talk to and well. Now she is! Hunter tries to keep it and Dakota separate as much as possible.
Qwerty. It/she/he. Online persona, kinda? It only shows up when we’re on the internet. He’s more in tune with the social norms of the web than the rest of us are.
Anyways. Yeah. IDK. Life is weird and brains are weirder and I don’t necessarily think of myself as a system, but I would count myself as plural. That’s about the long and short of it.
Feels like I ought to say more, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m going to schedule this for, like, 9am my time so that I don’t have to actually hit that post button myself (scary). I also probably won’t be up for talking about this with other people (sorry mutuals!) for at least a few days. Thanks for listening.
( @ivy-meshle so I can rb this in the future )

Ok think I’ve finally got my thoughts together on the bright situation and im just gonna say it.
Its not gonna work.
It basically is just slapping on a new name on dr bright and calling it a day. Like. No matter what u do its the same character, it does nothing. Djkaktus said it himself that he was “always writing elias shaw.” That “any similarities are just a coincidence.”
So its funny seeing some of the ppl thats on board with this claim that “u cant separate the art from the artist” and yet that’s exactly what they're trying to achieve. Except, u know, the community had already done that a long time ago, ripping bright out of the hands of admin bright. So really, no change is actually being made.
Anyway with that out of the way I do want to address some concerns about djkaktus.
I’ve been looking around and have seen people mentioning that the dude:
1. Was quiet about the admin bright thing when it was happening along with actually being one of the people trying to cover it up
2. Had been banning people simply cuz they didn’t like his works
3. he’s an alleged predator
Now I havent personally found much relating to this other than people's words on it on tumblr. Tho someone on insta has told me that djkaktus was extremely quiet during the bright situation. Which yea it took an entire year after admin bright was banned to only now bring up this elias shaw bs.
Now if anyone has sources on any of this, links, screenshots, anything, it’d be a great help if ya can send it to me via replying to this post or dm-ing me. It would better help spread this awareness around.
Also regarding articles that had brights name replaced w/ SA jokes that haven’t been edited out which is something else that also has been mentioned to me, would appreciate it to get more scps/tales listed regarding that. Only got 4498 so far which has a really bad um…”butt stabbing” joke...I mostly did skim read it so I’ll have a proper read at some point.
Tldr:
- Elias Shaw is pointless and does nothing.
- People who are saying u can't separate art from artists are tryna separate bright from author.
- Djkaktus was quiet during the admin bright situation and potentially was tryna cover it up, has been banning ppl for not liking his stuff, is an alleged predator and hasnt edited out sa jokes in articles where he changed bright’s name.
Correct me if I’m wrong on anything or anything like that.
Edit: reminder to take the djkaktus stuff as a grain of salt (especially the predator allegations) as it did come from pixelated harmony who did in fact doxxed someone
Source:
Still I stand by that he was quiet about admin bright though and of course I still don’t believe the elias shaw thing is gonna work
edit edit edit: things are messy. u can look in the comments for more info I don't rlly know what to say beyond this point.

don’t answer if ur not comfortable but how do u differentiate truly having a harmful paraphilia from intrusive thoughts abt it? im someone who has intrusive thoughts abt 2 out of the big 3 as well as other sexual things that can’t be done morally and i often stress that that means i am a paraphile (ik that’s a broad term but i don’t like specifying which ones yknow).
to my understanding, non offending big 3 paraphiles experience with their attraction seems similar to intrusive thoughts because they cause distress and such, so i guess im wondering abt where the distinction lies? i also find the psychological aspects of sex and sexuality interesting in their own right so beyond my own concern i’d be interested to learn cuz it’s just really fascinating
thanks dude!! :)
No worries at all anon! This is a HUGE SpIn of mine and I'm always happy to provide any perspective, even if I'm not a professional and all that.
The biggest distinguishing factor between an intrusive thought and a regular thought is if it's voluntary, and if the thought is welcomed or wanted. Intrusive thoughts are out of your control and often incite feelings of revulsion, disgust, discomfort, fear, anxiety, or rejection. They are thoughts that you want OUT of your brain as soon as possible. When you talk about paraphilias, the waters can muddy a little.
Paraphilias do not necessitate that the thoughts are unwanted. This may be true of paraphilic disorders, wherein the patient experiences clinically significant distress over their paraphilia (this doesn't necessarily refer to one of the big three!), but it's not inherent. A lot of paraphilic fantasy rejection can come from internalized shame due to outside social stigma and personal morality... but so can intrusive thoughts. There's no clear cut distinction between the two due to how much influence society has over our thoughts and how we respond to them, HOWEVER, you may want to consider looking into something like POCD.
POCD, while not an officially recognized diagnosis, is a subset of OCD that specifically centers around pedophilia. There exists also ZOCD (zoophilia OCD) and NOCD (necrophilia OCD), however POCD is by far the most well-researched out of these. POCD involves obsessive and/or compulsive behaviors regarding proving or disproving if one is a pedophile, such as through intentionally exposing themselves to distressing imagery on purpose or engaging with intrusive thoughts related to children. More often than not, people with POCD don't end up having any paraphilic attractions at all-- they are worried about the concept of being a pedophile and if they'll enact tangible harm, not grappling with actual attraction.
I've struggled with POCD for some time now, but I'm fairly confident in that I don't have any attraction to IRL children. The extent to which I'll engage with my thoughts is in fiction, and even then, it's more of a curiosity as opposed to something that's a consistent turn-on-- which is in direct contrast to my other paraphilias which are much stronger and carry with them less internalized shame, and more externalized fear over being harassed, abandoned, and/or doxxed. I don't experience fear over IF I'll offend, because I'm confident that I won't under my own circumstances. But this is something that can vary from person to person.
Some potentially helpful further reading:
r/OCD also may be potentially helpful! Plenty of people on there have talked about experiencing zoophilic, necrophilic, or pedophilic OCD. Just type one of those words into the search bar and you'll probably find someone who's going through the same thing.

Loki Season 2 Episode 2 Review: Wolfe Among Us
This review contains spoilers for episode 2
★★★★☆
In the second episode of Loki season two, Loki and Mobius try to track down Sylvie.
Loki and Mobius hit the darkened streets of the Sacred Timeline in episode two of Marvel’s Loki, as they attempt to track down Sylvie by tracing the movements of a TVA deserter.
X-5 (rapper and Blindspotting star Rafael Casal) has made quite the life for himself on Earth in the 1970s as Hollywood A-lister Brad Wolfe, and it’s one that he really doesn’t want to give up, so Mobius and Loki have to give chase like proper magic time cops at the premiere of his new movie, Zaniac. (If you look closely during this opening scene, you’ll also see a poster in the background for Kingo’s latest movie! Always refreshing to have an Eternals reference in one of these shows.)
Also refreshing is Casal as the arrogant X-5 aka Brad, and his “mummy’s boy” attitude makes him supremely punchable. When Loki and Mobius finally haul his ass back to the TVA, it creates an interesting dynamic in the interrogation room. Mobius assumes that the sneering, entitled X-5 will easily be able to push Loki’s buttons, but it’s the eternally-chill Mobius who loses his temper when Brad questions his reticence to find out what kind of life has been stolen from him by He Who Remains and the TVA. Looks like Loki is setting up a curious arc for Mobius in season two – he was really sensitive about that whole deal. Nice to see Loki take time out to chat with Mobius after his meltdown, but that key lime pie looked really gross honestly.
Regardless, I would absolutely watch these two sit talk about literally anything every week. I love their friendship. There have been some comments about Hiddleston’s performance in season two so far, noting that he’s completely stopped being the Loki we’ve grown to know and love, and that Loki could now be any other “normal” character as played by Tom Hiddleston. I get where they’re coming from. The show has gone to great lengths to re-shape this variant of Loki for his hero’s journey, but I do sometimes miss the edge Tom used to give the character. When we see Loki “perform” as his old self in this episode, the glimmer in Tom’s eye just serves to remind us how much fun he used to be. (I rambled on a bit more about this here.)
Loki gets that groove back (briefly) when he and Mobius are forced to figure out the mods on Brad’s TemPad without OB’s help. Luckily, Casey is a TVA guidebook superfan and he helps them figure out that the TemPad isn’t blocking the TVA’s tracking system, but since they’re no closer to breaking X-5 or finding Sylvie, they decide to try torture and ….yeah, I don’t know. I don’t like Brad, but the “box crushing” torture was kinda rough and I didn’t really love seeing it play out well for our “good guys”. You mileage may vary!
The “temporal aura” exposition between B-15, OB, and Casey is also kinda rough. Seeing Casey fan out over OB’s guidebook makes it easier to swallow, but the mechanics of the Loki plot were definitely easier to follow when they were coming from a cartoon clock. Unfortunately, Miss Minutes has absconded with Ravonna Renslayer to lord knows where. There’s certainly no sign of the pair this week, but Loki, Mobius, and their Brad-shaped prisoner do finally find Sylvie. She’s working at McDonald’s in her branched Broxton timeline and seems pretty content, if a little lonely.
Things are awkward between Loki and Sylvie, but I really don’t miss the romance plot between them. If that’s still cooking in season two, it’s at such a low level that I don’t have to acknowledge it at least. The sexual chemistry between Hiddleston and Di Martino is still missing and presumed dead, unlike General Dox, the loyalist who gets taken back to the TVA alive after committing countless genocides. Sylvie, however, chooses to stay in Broxton and sling burgers, but in the closing moments of the episode we see she still has He Who Remains’ TemPad, which is really advanced TVA technology that can twist time in a different way. I wonder what she’s planning to do with it?
Overall, this was a solid second episode of Loki, with only a few wobbles. It wasn’t as compelling as the premiere, and lacked its kinetic pace, but I found the ongoing story so entertaining that it didn’t bother me too much, and I’m looking forward to episode three next week. Fingers crossed, Miss Minutes is back and just as terrifying as when we last saw her!

Game is currently under Hiatus I am terribly sorry!! However I’d like to use this post to talk about something very serious we are currently experiencing. It will be my only time addressing this.
Me and my Bf had been in a poly relationship that ended super rocky and with us evicting the two partners we were with, those two said partners had lost their jobs and made little to no effort to find other income when our agreement had been splitting rent, utilities, etc. They both then became increasingly financially dependent on us when we both did not want that, as me and my Bf are both lower class and don’t have much to spare, For 8 months straight we paid their bills, necessities, etc. we were struggling horribly and I begged them both to find jobs and little to no surprise - no effort. Going so as far to make the dynamic light hearted calling me ‘sugar mommy’ etc. it was completely demeaning and I was struggling severely mentally being the breadwinner for two people older than me, I got with both of them Freshly at 18, and we broke up when I was almost 20. During the eviction process the two went behind my back to convince my Bf to leave me for them, saying horrible things about me and trying to frame me for abusing my bf. Which was not the case whatsoever, Me and my bf had literally been together since I was 10, We grew up together and He has been nothing but the best to me.
They got us to a point in financially trouble where I have 6k in debt, we lived with no power and no water for a minute. And I was pulling 80 hour weeks to make sure we all still had a roof over our heads. We were drowning in bills.
However this issue arises, I have been doxxed by both of my ex partners. Deadnamed, addresses leaked, continuous hate on all platforms i posses. It’s overwhelming and draining my mental state further, I block and I block and I cannot escape them. And it is absolutely devastating seeing and platform I have tried and dreamed of building to be torn down to this extent. And legal action has been to no avail due to police taking their sweet time with the restraining orders in process, I get detailed and gut wrenching death threats almost on the daily. They know where I work, they knew where I lived up until we moved for safety. And these two have a history of burned bridges along the lines of this, But I am not completely innocent.
The way I handled the situation was utterly immature, I was angry and I said things I shouldn’t of. I was mean and cruel and it came from a deep seeded hatred that had built over time for those two partners, I had continued to financially support them but any emotion I had towards them were negative for 5 months straight, it was loveless and my BF didn’t want to break their hearts. I pretended to “stay” and I really wished I didn’t, it got me into a hurt situation and brought me down to the lowest point of my life. I wish I could go back and time and just not get with the two of them. Now me and my BF have to go through intensive therapy and constantly have to try and evade our old socials and handles due to the amount of hate we get, it’s dogpiling. It’s utterly exhausting. I am exhausted, and if you are one or both of the two seeing this, please. All me and my bf want is to be left alone, we are both equally hurt, I am pushing for legal action and I have concrete proof to make sure you two will get that restraining order on. I will continue to fight it and I will not stop until it is active.

About the Author:
Name: Siege
Pronouns: they/them
Age: adult; >21
Other Info: I have AuDHD, so please be patient if stuff you say to me doesn’t click right away.
Random Personal Fact: My favorite color is green!
Rules:
First and foremost, be respectful and considerate towards others—bigotry, harassment, witch-hunting, doxxing, etc. will get you blocked.
These rules may be subject to change, and I reserve the right to change them and/or add new rules to this list at my discretion. If and when my rules do change, I will announce that a change has been made as soon as I possibly can.
I am not comfortable interacting with minors on this blog, nor am I comfortable with minors interacting with my posts on this blog; if you are under the age of 18, I will block you if I catch you. This is non-negotiable.
I cannot stress this enough: I will absolutely not accept commissions for fanfiction! Fanfiction authors’ ability to legally write and share their work online without getting sued into oblivion by the IP holder is largely predicated on the fact that it is done for free—as soon as money starts changing hands, that legal protection no longer applies. I have neither the desire nor the resources to battle a lawsuit, especially not one that I would almost certainly lose.
The only place where the content on this blog should be able to be found is ultimately (reblogs notwithstanding, of course) on this blog—I do NOT permit my work to be reposted on other sites/platforms; if you want to share content from this blog outside of Tumblr, you can take the time to press a few buttons and copy a post link to share instead.
Most of my rules are pretty hard to break as long as you stick to the first one (i.e. “be respectful and considerate towards others”) above all else—I specifically want to emphasize that “others” includes myself as well as other readers. I am a human being on the other side of your screen with a private life outside of this blog; accept that and act accordingly.
If you’ve sent an ask or a request that I haven’t responded to yet, please be patient—I will address it as soon as I can.
While there are certain hard “no” topics that I will not write about, some of my work may contain topics that are not suitable for everyone—please be mindful of applicable trigger warnings and set healthy boundaries for yourself when it comes to engaging with content online; it is not my job to curate your experiences on the internet.
TOPICS THAT I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WRITING ABOUT INCLUDE: anything involving urine or feces, particularly as it concerns kink/fetish involvement; bestiality; incest, including step-siblings; cheating, at least not as a central focus of the work (e.g. I’m okay with mentioning that a character was cheated on in the past, but I’m not okay with writing a story about a character actively cheating on their significant other); intimate partner abuse/violence, at least not as a central focus of the work; genuinely nonconsensual kink/fetish involvement—this is by no means a comprehensive list, nor is it set in stone. I reserve the right to not write anything that I’m not comfortable writing. That being said, you submit a request involving a topic that’s not on this list and I respond with, “I’m actually not comfortable writing that,” please don’t beat yourself up about it; I can’t expect any of y’all to read my mind any more than y’all can expect me to read yours!
REGARDING WHICH FANDOMS I WILL OR WON’T WRITE FANFICTION FOR: I have spent far too much of my life involved in fandom spaces to come up with a comprehensive list of fandoms I write/don’t write for. If you see a fandom on my masterlist, you can generally assume I write for it, especially if any of the works for that fandom are recent (i.e. posted within the last 4-6 months); if you don’t see a fandom listed or if you’re unsure whether or not I still write for it, feel free to ask! The only non-negotiable I have in this regard is that I will not write RPF (i.e. Real Person Fiction) of any kind.

a quick rant about work where people can see it because AUGH do these people frustrate me endlessly sometimes
okay so basically i work as a receptionist at a physical therapy place, which is connected to a hospital. Hopefully that is common enough to not be doxxing whatever. I just hate how my coworkers handle health guidelines and whatnot. Like one of our physical therapists saw an inpatient on Wednesday, and learned the following day that this person, who had been breathing onto the PT’s face, had covid. The PT wore a mask on Thursday, but not at all Friday or Saturday, and, as far as I’m aware, even if they tested Thursday or Friday morning covid tests wouldn’t be able to detect it yet. Whatever, they’re not near me at least most of the time. Though I should say we mainly work with older adults who are already disabled in some way???? So why aren’t you still wearing a mask. Cause I sure as hell don’t want to spread anything to our already vulnerable patients. And then yesterday my main coworker, the one I’m enclosed in a small room with for over 5 hours a day, tells me her allergies were acting up, and I just fucking knew she was getting sick. And then this morning she calls in sick. Big shocker. And it just pisses me off. I wear a mask all the time because I’m not trying to get sick, but here we are, and I’m fed up with how lax these hospital employees are treating viruses

this is completely self-serving but behold, a chronological list of everything that’s gone wrong in my life in just the past 2.5 weeks:
5/24: almost missed my flight home from canada
5/25: goes back to work and finds out the moms for liberty transphobic bookbanning hate group booked my museum/workplace for an event at the end of june and staff are signing a petition to cancel the event. the contract for the event was signed in DECEMBER and we just found out about it NOW. LMAO
5/26: incompetent coworker made a huge mistake in gift entry over a month ago and i just uncover it now and have to fix it (because he sure as shit won’t)
5/28: succession series finale
5/30: emergency town hall meeting @ work where many lgbtq+/poc employees share emotional, tearful personal testimony with our ceo (who says he’s listening) to cancel the moms for liberty event
5/31: renewed a museum membership for war criminal karl rove
6/1: ceo announces in the allstaff meeting that we are NOT going to cancel the moms for liberty event. staff are openly weeping. one staff member quits on the spot. ceo twists our mission statement to serve his own batshit narrative and clearly doesn’t give two shits about lgbtq+ staff. full-body breakdown number 1.
6/2: goes to an ice cream shop for a nice milkshake to cheer myself up and a random dude wordlessly steals it from the counter right in front of my face on the hottest day of the year so far like are you fucking serious
6/3: has to work a midday event and pretend i’m proud of where i work. then i decide to drive home to pet my puppies only to find someone stole my headlights and side mirrors and broke one of my car’s windows???? i had to call the police and file my first police report. full-body breakdown number 2.
6/4: car gets towed. i go home with my parents.
6/5: i take the day off work and stay home to pet my dogs. news stories start to break about the event at the museum, people start calling wanting to cancel their memberships and sever ties with the museum. i get the voicemails on my phone.
6/6: we get talking points for phone calls/feedback and they are complete dogshit. i realize i am in a position where i’m perfectly capable of doxxing our entire board of directors. SPLC designates the moms for liberty as a certified extremist group, which would have helped immensely on june 1st, but fucking whatever. have to work ANOTHER event, this one in the evening, and pretend again like i’m happy to work at the museum.
6/7: horrendous wildfire smoke, but i go into the office because i have to print and mail 120 memberships and don’t want to do any amount of work for a ceo who fucking sucks and also i’m getting like 5 calls an hour from people telling us to cancel the event and i agree with them 100% but cannot say that!!!!
6/8: staff are openly sobbing in the office because all of our diversify living history partners are (rightfully) boycotting the museum for this decision. everyone’s jobs are 10x harder. support networks that staff have spent 6 YEARS building up with vulnerable communities in the region evaporate overnight. our crowning special exhibit on a free black man from philadelphia who fought in the rev war and used his war experience to inform his later fight for abolition & voting rights now looks completely hypocritical. because of ONE MAN’S DECISION.
6/9: work anxiety finally hits and i’m sick to my stomach all day. i get to wfh at least. there’s a board meeting, but it’s virtual, and they’re all rich people who live on another fucking planet, so they have no idea how absolutely abysmal morale is. a protest is held on the plaza outside at 6pm.
6/10: i have a daytrip planned with friends that i have been looking forward to all week. one might say it was all that was getting me through the week. i call an uber to take me to the train station with time to spare. the uber gets stuck behind a fucking trash truck and i have to cancel the uber and on my friends because i’ve missed the train completely. bawling on my bedroom floor before 9am. my dad calls and i try to explain to him why moms for liberty are filth and he doesn’t believe me. full-body breakdowns numbers 3 and 4 and 5!
the funniest thing is literally all of these things are outside of my control. so like.  why do i even try. lol

Apartment X - Chapter 10
Tumblr media
A Hawkeye Fanfic
MASTERLIST PREVIOUS //
Buy me a coffee with Ko-fi Character pairing:  Clint Barton x F!Reader
Word Count: 1858
Warnings:  smut (MF, plane sex, public sex, masturbation, vaginal sex, sex tape)
Synopsis:   You had chosen your apartment for a lot of reasons.  It was quiet.  It had good light.  It was secure.  Your landlord was an Avenger.  It was a good space to live and work and feel safe. When you become friends with your landlord Clint Barton, it also comes with the potential of a pretty special boyfriend.  You’re just not sure how the public will react to finding out that one of the Avengers is dating a Camgirl.
Tumblr media
Chapter 10
After your relationship with Clint had been outed to the public, there was a reset period while you both worked out what you could do to protect yourselves from the press, fans, and crazy stalkers.  First, Clint went and spoke to the team.  There was then a meeting you had with Captain America where he told you not to worry about what the public was saying, the team had both yours and Clint’s back in all of this.  It was a relief to hear.  As much as you wanted to live in a perfect world where people weren’t judged negatively for being or dating sex workers, it wasn’t the world that currently existed.  To know that everyone had Clint’s back was comforting.  It was nice to know his friends were so supportive of him.  You had good people in your life, and knowing the man you were in love with had that kind of support too made you feel happy in a way that you didn’t expect.
The team even backed up the words with action.  Steve told Clint to take you out of town for a couple of weeks while Tony Stark worked on a way to filter out IP addresses of people trying to contact you through media outlets and to ban people from streams if they mentioned certain aspects of your personal life.  He was also going to set you up with state-of-the-art web security to prevent you from ever being doxxed.
It almost made you wish you’d had this happen sooner.  Or at least that other women’s privacy and agency on the internet was protected by everyone the way that yours would be now.  But given that the outing of relationship not only meant you would have a better computer set up, but that you were now also on your way to Jamaica with Clint and when you got back the two of you would be moving in together.  All in all, as far as shit things that could happen to a person, this was turning out pretty well.
Clint had splurged on first-class seats, but given it was less than four hours in the air all up, the first class was only different from economy due to the chair size and leg room, and even then it was not significantly different.  Not that you were complaining, of course.  First class was first class and you were with Clint on the way to a beach resort.
“It’s kind of weird to be flying commercial with an Avenger,” you teased as you ate your rather sad excuse for a lunch the flight attendant had handed over.  It contained a panini with some soggy tomato on it, string cheese, and a tub of yogurt, and you weren’t particularly impressed with any of it.
“Yeah - I did consider flying us in a Quin,” Clint joked as he blew on his coffee.
“Well, why didn’t you?  We’d probably have been there by now, and we wouldn’t have had to spend two hours in Miami Airport.”
Clint leaned in, bringing his lips to your ear.  “I can’t enlist you into the mile-high club if I’m having to fly the plane,” he whispered as his hand moved up your leg.
You yelped and swatted his hand away.  “Clint!”
“What?” Clint teased, bumping you with his shoulder.  He leaned in again and nuzzled at your neck.  “Come on… you don’t want to live your life never having done it, do you?”
“Couldn’t you ask to borrow one of Tony’s private jets or something?  Surely there’s a bed on it.  Or even just a long haul first class where you get those little private pod things,” you whined playfully.  You lowered your voice and looked him in the eye.  “Shit - I’d even take a long haul domestic and let you finger me under a blanket.  But that bathroom is going to be gross.”
“It won’t be,” Clint assured you.  “Hardly anyone has gotten up and it’s the first-class one so…”
You huffed and leaned your forehead to his temple.  “God, you’re a pest.”
“I know,” he said.  “You know you want to though.  I know you.”
You whined and wiggled in your seat.  It was tempting.  Even despite the fact it was a tiny space that was probably disgusting, it was the ultimate of public sex acts on your bucket list of public sex acts.  You just didn’t want to get caught - partly because you were going out of town to give Clint’s sex scandal a chance to die down, you didn’t want to set another one off again right on the tail of the first.  Mostly though, you just felt bad for the flight attendants who would almost definitely know what you were up to.
“Okay.  I’m dropping it now,” Clint said, holding up his hands.  “If you want to do it, you can ask.”
“Okay, okay,” you relented.  “How do you propose this happens?”
“We make out a little here,” he whispered, his fingers walking up your leg.  “Get us both in the mood.  Then … you go down to the bathroom, lock yourself in and finger yourself.  I’ll be down a little later and we’ll be as quick as we can possibly be.”
“Gosh, you’re such a romantic,” you teased, as your hand went to the back of his head and tangled into his hair.
“I know,” he laughed and brought his lips to yours.
You pulled yourself up against him as much as you could given the arms of the chair blocked you from really getting close.  Clint’s hand ran up your thigh and gripped your hip.  The two of you kissed until your lips felt numb and tingled pleasantly.  Your mouth was becoming dry as his lips moved against yours, which was countered by how damp your underwear was getting.  You moaned softly into the kiss, and your hands roamed up under his shirt.  You weren’t sure if it was just the kissing, the fact it was so public, or if it was the anticipation of what was about to happen, but your body was practically thrumming with desire.
Clint broke the kiss but kept his forehead pressed against yours, so when he spoke, you could feel the soft brush of his lips.  “Go down to the bathroom,” he whispered.  “I’ll be there in a minute.”
It would have been clear exactly what you were doing if you had gotten up and gone straight to the bathroom, so you waited for a few beats, wiggling a little in your chair.  It felt like torture.  The insides of your thighs were sticky with desire, and it felt like you were vibrating.  You took a sip of your drink and a bite of your sandwich in an attempt to slow yourself down and not give it away too soon.
After you washed down your mouthful with the last of your drink you got up and headed down to the bathroom.  Clint was right, it hadn’t really been used yet, but it was still a tiny, weird-smelling space that didn’t evoke sexy thoughts of joining the mile-high club.  You pushed down your panties and began to finger your clit.  You were already soaking and your fingers were soon covered in your slick.  It wasn’t long before your legs were trembling with your impending climax and you knew either Clint was going to take too long to get here and you will have already come or he’d barely even need to enter you for you to be knocked over the edge.
There was a soft knock on the door followed by Clint’s voice.  “It’s me,” he whispered through the thin door.  You unlocked the door and he slipped in behind you.  His lips were on yours as soon as the flimsy door was locked behind him.  His hands cradled your jaw as the two of you kissed, and you scrambled to get his cock out.  When his pants were open, you reached into his pocket and pulled out a condom, quickly tearing it open and rolling it on.  He spun you around to face the toilet and you bent over and braced your hands on the wall as he grabbed your hips and shoved hard into you, pushing you up against the wall.
He held himself in deep and you looked back over your shoulder, wondering what he was doing.  To your surprise, he was getting out his phone.  “What’re you doing?” you asked.
“Filming it,” he answered.
You turned back with a smile on your face.  That somehow made this even better.  The video wasn’t for fans.  It wasn’t for anyone except you and him and he wanted to keep a record of this moment.  It sent a shiver through you that made you clench up around Clint’s cock.  Clint began to thrust, holding your hip with one hand as he filmed himself fucking you from behind.
You had to bite into your hand to smother your moans as he quickly dragged you back to the edge of your orgasm.  “Fuck,” Clint whispered.  “I love being inside you so fucking much.”
You moaned again and looked to your left, watching yourself in the mirror as Clint railed you from behind.  It was as far from aesthetically sexy as you could get.  The room was small and cramped and as ugly as a bathroom could be.  Yet everything that was happening was working together so you were completely falling apart for him.  Being filmed, the fact it was so public, the plane, the desperation.  Your orgasm coiled tight inside you but needed a little more to break.
You reached between your legs with a shaky hand and started to rub your clit.  It made you less stable on your feet and your arm slipped on the wall as Clint railed into you.  Your body clenched and you bit down into your fist and you came, your moan muffled by your hand.  “Fuck… fuck, fuck, fuck,” you babbled as your orgasm shuddered through you.
Clint spanked your ass but he didn’t ease up.  His hips kept pistoning as he pushed you up against the wall with each thrust in.  “Oh god, Clint. Please. I want it.”
He pulled out and whipped off the condom as you flipped up your skirt, and he jerked his cock, spilling over your ass in thick white ropes.
The two of you took a moment to recalibrate, but given where you were you didn’t have much time to just bask in your post-orgasm glows.  Clint turned off his phone and slipped it back in his pocket,  He grabbed a paper towel next, and cleaned you up.
When you were standing again, and your panties were pulled up, Clint gave you a soft kiss.  “I’ll clean up here.  You go take your seat.”
You giggled and kissed him again before ducking out of the bathroom.  No one was nearby, so if anyone had picked up on what had happened, you didn’t know.  You headed back to your chair feeling high and very, very in love, excited to see how the rest of your vacation was going to go.

Oh boy lmao
I usually wouldn’t talk on this because I’m completely fine with people that don’t like Nuzi but I will admit these points aren’t great at all
Now if you were trying to paint some Nuzi shippers as this bad guy can it be more reasonable? Like it would make more sense if you were calling out how some shippers comment on non related posts and be like “erm actually N and Uzi is canon 🤓” (I see this with both sides btw so it’s not just Nuzi that does this but yeah it still sucks)
First of all about Nuzi being meant to be canon at the start thingy, technically we’d have to wait for them to start a relationship or kiss to be known as canon but from where it’s going I’d say it does have a high chance and I have no idea if you knew this but in a interview with Liam himself it was revealed that he wrote the scripts before Episode 2 came out (it’s also very obvious with Glitch posting stuff that happens way later like how they posted a picture of Beau a year before ep 6 came out)
So people wouldn’t be too far off, I highly doubt that Liam would change his scripts because oh boy, animation takes A LOT of time and work so I don’t bet that they would change anything just to make a ship sail just because it’s more popular
With the age thing as well it’s a lot more complicated in the pilot but I doubt that robots really age and they just have a mental age where they feel like something, Uzi saying she was a teen is like how N said he was a kid just like her in episode 4. Technically I don’t think she calls herself a teen anymore so let’s just assume that they did change ages but either wise it all wouldn’t really matter in the end because we kind of already have a clue on what their ages could be (19-20)
About Thad I doubt he was really going to be a big character anyway, I think he was always just that side character that you’ll occasionally see (I’m pretty sure it’s because Thad didn’t really bring anything to the story because the story is about the absolute solver and the disassembly drones, there’s not really a character arc suited for him also because this is a 8 episode series I think they just want to tell the stories of Uzi, N, V, etc)
Are you new to the fandom btw? It’s really rare to see someone say that they haven’t seen any hate for Nuzi because oh boy 😭 before episode 6 N x Uzi being hated and called a proship was really common, harassing shippers as well. Calling it victimising kind of just feels like a punch in the face because this did take a toll on people, artists were leaving because they were getting harassed, some envy shippers were commenting under Nuzi related posts and calling it a proship/calling the creator a proshipper, people were also threatening themselves about if Nuzi was canon then they’d do something harmful. Not to mention there was a strike on Twitter one time because artists were getting doxxed because of shipping and this was during Nuzi week too so a lot of artists that were gonna draw Nuzi couldn’t for their own safety
After episode 6 it still happens like nothing has changed really, only that people are more open about them shipping Nuzi after hiding it for so long due to fear of being harassed and called a proshipper but just because it’s more calmer doesn’t mean that it’s all good now because hate still does exist (they don’t use the proship excuse anymore, they just call it fanservice which still doesn’t make any sense lmao)
(Also why did you use the ao3 chart thingy? Ao3 is the least website that causes drama lmao)
Anyways I would really like to hear about your side of being in the fandom cause I know that people see stuff differently (I think it’s based on how active you are in a fandom, you’d definitely see some crap lol)
Thanks for reading (if u did)
Tumblr media
And if the five nights at freddy’s bus crashes into us to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die and if the fnaf truck kills the both of us to die by your side well the pleasure the privilege is mine
Rant warning, if you can't handle someone not liking Nuzi, don't read mkay?
When some Nuzi's shippers will stop gaslighting everyone that they ship was "meant" since the begining(sudden age up of students yet Uzi is still called a kid, Thad not being important after episode 2) and stop victimizing themselves with their ship being "hated" (lmao maybe im so unlucky but i beraly seen any rant against Nuzi, only praise and whine of how people is mean to this ship), sun will blow
Tumblr media
Hated my ass
P. S. Stop giving Glitch or Liam too much faith, just because it's not mainstream web product doesn't mean it somehow would better than comercial stuff. I don't say they are bad or something like this, don't put words and accusations in my mouth

Yknow when I really think about it I don’t really give a shit if someone doesn’t like Viv’s stuff.
Cuz ultimately they can cry and bitch and moan about her all day long, doesn’t change the fact she’s still gonna do what she’s gonna do yknow?
My problem lies where some criticals have this fucking superiority complex where they fucking think they’re better than us fans just because they look at something “critically.” Even though there’s more to critical thinking than constantly fucking bitching about how bad you think something is, something they have yet to figure out.
Frankly, they aren’t better than us, they’re just obnoxious.
All they do is cry about Viv and how terrible her writing is, or how the color palette is bad, or how this or that relationship is toxic, or sometimes they don’t even bother with the show, they just start shit-talking Viv as a person.
I feel like if you have so many complaints about a work to where you want it to be something else, Just write a fucking fanfic and move on, instead of wasting time with something you clearly dislike. Stop lying to yourself about how you want to see it improve when in reality you just want it done your way.
It’s fucking weird, like they expect us to just keep listening to their stupid bullshit with no complaints, yeah you have a right to free speech, so do we, you say something fucking stupid, don’t be surprised when people call you out on it. They act like they get fucking harassed by us when in reality we’re just responding to them normally? Yeah maybe some people in the fandom are passive aggressive or respond with memes or whatever but that’s only because so many antis and criticals are fucking blockheads and nothing we say matters to them anyway so why bother? Can’t argue with a brick wall.
If you think Viv’s writing is so fucking bad, and every episode just keeps reinforcing that opinion, then why keep watching it? Swear to God I legit think some criticals are fucking masochists or something.
I’m not saying you can’t criticize either show at all, but if your criticisms revolve around how her characters “all look the same.” Or how Vivzie portrays demons or angels in an inaccurate way (even though demons and angels don’t fucking exist) then perhaps, I’m sorry to repeat something you’ve heard a million times before, it just isn’t for you.
It isn’t like Viv ever SAID she was aiming for accuracy anyway, if you think that, that’s your fault my dude. You are the idiot here.
I know those aren’t the only examples of course but they’re the ones I thought of off the top of my head.
Look, I don’t think Viv is a fucking goddess among us mere mortals or any of that horseshit, she isn’t infallible, but she’s a fucking human being! She’s a human being who frankly I think does not deserve half of the constant fucking bullshit she probably is forced to bear witness to every time she goes on social media. She doesn’t deserve to get fucking doxxed or get patreon shit leaked or whatever because some of y’all are fucking douchebags who get some fucking thrill out of making shit harder for someone who hasn’t done anything to you. She isn’t the literal devil.
But, though I’m sure she would appreciate the sentiment, I don’t have the energy to waste on debunking obviously bullshit claims about Viv, other people do that shit online as is, I just…it’s exhausting man.
I just like it for what it is. Isn’t perfect, nothing is, but I’m not asking for perfection! What I’m looking for is a good time, and so far? I’ve been enjoying myself, irritated as I can get by hearing stupid people online. Isn’t my fault I’ve been hyperfixated on her shows since 2019.
It for whatever reason has brought me far more joy than I honestly expected. Like I made OCs, I’m almost on 40 chapters of my fanfic I’ve been writing since late 2019, maybe everything I’m writing is garbage but hey, I’m having a fun time, anyone who has a problem with that can suck it.
It isn’t like this is the only thing I’ve liked that gets nothing but constant bullshit online. Sometimes I honestly think it’s best if we just didn’t bother even speaking to critics and antis, it’s obvious they’re as set in their ways as we are, why bother? Unless they say something truly reprehensible in which case we bring the wrath of God (Satan?) upon them.
Well, there’s my 2 cents. Though I think I turned 2 cents into 20 dollars with how long my ramblings tend to go on for.
