I got gendered correctly today! By a complete stranger!

#I AM SO HAPPY #I'VE BEEN RIDING THE HIGH FROM THAT THE WHOLE DAY TODAY #THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE #I thought I heard wrong the first time #but nope #she kept referring to me as a guy the whole time #:D #transgender #trans joy #lgbtq #:D :D :D

i was thinking about that ask i received the other day and how uncharacteristically upset the topic had made me when i usually just think "mh. gross!" and move on, and after mulling it over a while i realized it wasn't about the topic at all, it was the ask itself that freaked me out. i've mentioned sporadically before (for obvious reasons lol) that i used to be involved in fandom discourse when i was younger and that!! fucked me up quite a lot. between exacerbating my ocd and straight up getting cyber stalked (i almost feel guilty using that word, like i don't deserve it but. yeah that is 100% what happened to me), the topic is something I have very complex and personal opinions on but that i hate talking about in public because it still sets off my fight or flight response.

i know some people in the fandom are like "let me know if i ever rb someone who wrote/drew gross stuff" and that's entirely their choice and i respect it. but for the record, i am not one of these people. please, for the love of god, i am asking this genuinely do NOT come into my DMs about this, I don't want to know. assume I'm either living in blissful ignorance or my blacklist already covers me quite nicely & i wanna keep it that way. i vastly prefer the discomfort of stumbling into something unprepared and deciding what to do about it on my own, to the utter pit of dread i get whenever i open a message that starts with "hey just so you know-". i have blocked multiple people in the past over it. i WILL block more. be warned.

[note. this doesn't apply to people who have either hurt or behaved inappropriately with other members of the fandom, or spread bigotry and discrimination like racists and transphobes. please do let me know in those cases]

does this make sense? idk I'm kinda feverish you guys figure it out. I'm going to sleep.

#word from the wise for anyone peering into the jaws of discourse. there are only 2 types of people you can trust on their opinions on it #they are 1) people who have never heard of ship discourse like. at all. and 2) people who know too much about it #and with that i mean people who started off at one end of the discourse ricochetted to the other side and then came out #objectively refusing to associate with any of it. because they Know. that whatever issue lies at the heart of it is never gonna get resolve #with the way that discourse is conducted. and that the problems will never truly be fixed. and even then #you should take three or four of them at once from different starting and ending points and let them talk it out together first #because they all came from different point of views the others could've missed #i cannot WARN YOU ENOUGH. you do not want to be the second type. don't fall in #block who you wanna block and be kind any time you can. most people aren't inherently evil & that's a weird thing to assume about someone #and for the love if god stop fucking beefing with teenagers online #that is all you need to know about this. go have fun #i haveee so many fucking. thoughts about this topic i genuinely think i could have (and have had! seriously!) constructive discussions on i #about what would be helpful and what needs to be changed and what people get wrong. but it's always in private. because of the horrors #anyway shipping wars veteran discounts when

question. are the 'lotus eaters' from Jessica laws song Lotus eaters the nymphs? ik that if the song was kept in it would be in place of sirens but idk enough about greek mythology to really pick up on that that implies.

I kinda though so because lotus is frequently referenced as something Orpheus struggles with addiction to, aswell as presumably being big in the nymph scene/Dionysus's clientele, being so focused on pleasure.

(set at a party held by narcissus, Dionysus's most popular nymph)

also this line (government sponsored??? hmmmm)

#might just be me (who for some reason though lotus eaters was a song SUNG by Orpheus the first few times I heard it 😭 and so had him in #the front of my mind the whole time)#but also the vibe of the song feels very seductive. and the idea of letting go of outside troubles and matters of the word to loose yoursel #to the lotus/drug addiction. feels in line with the nymphs doubling as information extractors as well as pleasure workers #could be completely wrong tho and would just like to hear other ppls thoughts #esp since I know jack shit about greek myth 😭#psii.txt #ulysses dies at dawn #jessica law #languid little lies #lotus eaters #udad Orpheus #udad narcissus #the mechanisms

contemplating deleting my blog soon I might make a new blog but idk

#.bdo #i just need to work on some insecurity issues is all. been on a long self journey this year #can't shake the feeling that every time i say anything it's wrong somehow #and there is some reality to that. i have been wrong several times I've even been downright mean to people over misunderstandings #i just haven't been able to break out of the habit of feeling permanently embarrassed about every small mistake I've ever made #& old insecurities from my childhood are resurfacing #like when i was a kid/teen and no one would ever tell me when i was breaking social cues but they'd make fun of me behind my back #i have 3200 followers and most of my posts get 0 notes sometimes i get 1-5 so it makes me feel like I'm doing something wrong #i end up deleting a lot of them...#almost every post of mine that's gone viral was just a screenshot or picture saved from somewhere else....#and the times that i have gotten attention over a post that stands up for people who aren't like me it makes me terrified #that i look like i'm trying to play a savior role or like i'm virtue signaling #i have a few good mutuals who i love so much and that's why I'm still here #it's also the only social media i use currently #but it does really hurt when i put a lot of thought into something like spending hours making a funny meme or a thoughtful post #just to find out that the only people who find them interesting is my extremely small circle on here if anyone at all #it's so dumb i shouldn't be feeling like this over fucking numbers....it's not even real #i find a little bit of (petty) solace in the fact that there are people on here who are loudly and repeatedly saying way more embarrassing #shit than I've ever said #but even then when i know someone is absolutely wrong it makes me feel nervous like what if im the next person to fuck up that bad #and i find out through public ridicule #well that actually kinda did happen on here once but not on that scale #last year i sent someone something i thought was funny and they sent back an 'ok'#and then immediately made a huge long post about how you shouldn't talk to strangers like you're already friends #called it parasocial behavior...got tens of thousands of notes and i knew it was about me...#i wholeheartedly agree some people go too far with parasocial behavior but i never fully understood what part of what i said/did was wrong #and i went back to feeling like the kid who never found out they were doing something wrong until they heard that they got made fun of #i don't even attempt to make new friends on my own on here anymore because i'm terrified of that happening again #almost all of the people I've become friends with on here came to me first and i love and appreciate them for that #but even then i feel too nervous to socialize that often bc i never find out/realize that i fuck up until later on

I saw Wicked yesterday and it was pretty cute, I’d have liked it more if I were normal about The Wizard of Oz, but I am not. So, it was cute.

I like the strange little poly thing they have goin on, tho it feels close enough to the ol love triangle trope that I was a little irritated, but it was fine

It was very well produced, and as far as modern major Hollywood movies go, it was very good

#wicked the movie #I was really skeptical at first when I heard it was like “a wizard of oz backstory’#but i thought #hey let’s keep an open mind #it’s a very popular musical and has been for a long time #so the musical numbers will probably be fire and that’s the most important part #tragically most of those songs were not my style #I like maybe 3 songs and thats a maybe cause it may have been 2 #maybe I’d have enjoyed it more if it were marketed to me as a wizard of oz alternate universe #since so much of it is just #wrong #ik ik that kinda thing is just part of art #but like I said #I’m not normal about the wizard of oz #I was really hoping I’d love it #and I was willing to overlook a lot #but there’s only so much I can overlook #like how Oz in the movie basically is a wizard #he doesn’t master in illusions and magic tricks #he’s one of the best goddamn mechanics out there #some steampunk level skill #and the emerald city is ACTUALLY green #missing the point they were missing the point #that’s not all but that’s the main thing I will not be getting over #unless they completely obliterate the emerald city and have to rebuild #and the wizard gets a lobotomy #but I mean half the point of the wizard of oz is that its all a dream so #that’s fine alternate universe whatever you can add depth to characters that shouldn’t have it #as a means to use them as a vehicle to tell a story you want to tell through characters people recognize I get it #but the Oz part makes me so mad cause it would have fit into the theme perfectly and they changed it cause why???

You would not believe your eyes

If two really stupid guys

Barged into your dorm at 12:30am

#this happened a few nights ago but I didn’t know how to say it but this concept came to me at 4am lmaooooo #anyways so yeah my roommate is studying at her desk and I’m scrolling on my phone in bed in my pjs #when I hear a bit of a commotion near our dorm and my first thought is ‘oh no they’re gonna come inside’ before telling myself:#a) that’s silly those boys wouldn’t do that and b) our door’s totally locked so it’s fine #but turns out I was wrong on both counts :/#cuz the next thing I knew two random dude are *in my room* and they had said smth (but I was too shocked to register anything except ‘??!!’)#(y’all I was in my pjs too I was sittin there without a bra 😭😭😭😭😭😭)#eventually tho my face went from being shocked to being furious and I gotta say I haven’t heard myself use such an angry tone in a long time #but I basically demanded ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE’ and their faces quickly paled and they backtracked by saying ‘oops wrong dorm’#(likely story cuz mine and my roommates names are literally ON THE DOOR and that whole hall is FULLY LIT UP like how can you miss that???)#I talked with one of my friends about this (cuz I wanted to see what she thought and if maybe those guys really were mistaken)#but then she brought up that ^ point and yeah if I see em doing anything like that again I’ll prob report em to my ra or smth #but until then I guess my roommate and I will be making to sure keep our door properly locked 💀#🎶song sings🎶

#not being a hater but #just having midnight thoughts #about sokai and how it’s been handled #as someone not steeped in the lore of kh much at all #yet at least #I’ve heard all the excuses #nomura’s a bad romance writer #they’re just queerbaiting #and there was a time when I’d say that was true #but now I’m not convinced #I mean saying nomura is a bad writer is just… such a bad faith take #the guy’s got one of the most intricate stories out there #he’s made it clear that everything he does is very intentional #so it makes me wonder if sokai has such little development for a reason?#I think we can all agree that the lack of dev for kairi sucks #but perhaps nomura doesn’t want us to root for her and sora as endgame?#I’d love to see kairi have a self discovery journey of her own without sora tbh #probably not the first person to say that but it does make sense #I went from thinking soriku could never happen #to thinking like wow holy shit this could actually be a thing #within a weekend #aided by the famous riku is gay vid ofc #usually I could care less about canonicity but #soriku endgame actually #and if I’m wrong well…#I’m already a clown so it can’t get more delulu than that #tragic clowning #soriku #kingdom hearts

Mr loverman has been playing in my head for days.

Days.

Fucking. Why.

#I did listen to rick(y) several nights ago but goddamn it's like that doesn't even matter #It's not my favorite Ricky song it's just the first one I heard bc banana fish #So I've heard it too much. Too much man.#I feel like buried in Venice is more satosugu but that's bc Mr loverman is eijis song for ash #If I didn't know banana fish first idk what if feel #.... I expected both those anime to be stupid and gay and not so deep and emotional lmaoooo #Which is frankly an honor. Not often that I have such deep phases w anything #Jjk fanon tiktok gave me the wrong impression #Along w banana fish thumbnail #What I get for watching anything for the art style knowing nothing else #Like that one time I thought I was watching a documentary (was not even docufic or found footage I just found the movie from a fkn meme) and #It was a horror movie #...... I might have been stupid #Mr loverman #Banana Fish #Satosugu #Ricky Montgomery

Guys am I going insane what's Cooper's last name in the original (English) version I'm convinced they changed it in the dub and I don't know WHY they would do that??

Edit: don't worry guys we (kinda) solved it 😅 waiting for streaming/physical release now to check the subtitles

#imdb and wikipedia only say cooper #no last name #and i've seen y'all tagging him with first and last name #and i am confused #i thought the first time i heard it wrong but i've watched the movie several times now and i didn't mishear #but why would they change his name that makes absolutely no sense #sigh guess i'll have to wait for the movie to be released for streaming/purchasing #i will solve this riddle #trap 2024

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television. Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed-interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats that you've spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life. But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

#fun fact the first time i watched trainspotting i thought ewan mcgregor mispronounced 'suit'#as in three-piece suit like the clothes because i had never heard of a three-piece suite #turns out it's a type of furniture but the sentence makes sense either way so i really thought he just said it wrong #if you look up the monologue some people have transcribed it incorrectly as 'suit' so im not the only to have this misunderstanding #anyway this is the best opening narration of all time and i think about it every day #eight in the morning thinking about trainspotting like damn did you even try to be happy today

Y'all I had the WRONG idea what Tuck Everlasting was about

#just heard Seventeen for the first time #i 100℅ thought Winnie was his little sister #then he said “I'll wait until you're seventeen like me and we can get married”#totally rocked my world #looking back tho #if i think about it for 2 seconds #there is a whole song in ehich she repeatedly says her name is Winnie Foster and not Winnie Tuck #so like it makes sense #but omfg i was wrong #it's still weird as hell that he as a 17 year old is telling an 11 year old he'll wait for her to grow up to marry her #thats weird #i don't like that #i still have no idea what this show is about #tuck everlasting

another childhood bucket list item obtained: i finally have a snuggie

#and it's the real thing not even a knockoff #kinda surprised they still exist #but also not surprised bc Blanket. blanket is universal #i just remember a lot of those As Seen On Tv ads like. imploding within 5 years #they still do As Seen On Tv products like there are still boxes marked with that logo it almost feels wrong like an ancient relic #bc most like. ubiquitous 2000s brands from my childhood are just Gone or at least so fundamentally changed it's not the same thing #heard about like 50 more companies going bankrupt probably in the last year alone #anyway ive always wanted a snuggie it's one of those Always Wanted things that never go away #others include: staples easy button (obtained!); mini fridge (not); pillow pet (i had a knockoff once); power drill (not)#i spent a surprising amount of my childhood actually going out of my way to buy stuff i could use in my own apartment in the future #i grew up lower middle class and then just lower class #so like. i always Knew i couldn't just furnish the whole apartment at once i Knew I'd have to build stuff up over time #also bc when my sister got kicked out she had like. nothing. in her trailer. and i did not want to have nothing #i knew if dad was willing to just toss out my sister like that i would absolutely follow suit #and i did! two years younger than my sister when she was!#it just happened that my mom didn't want me homeless at FOURTEEN when i legally could not work for two more years #so she went with me and we lived with my grandma #so take that dad. turns out throwing family members out willy nilly makes the rest of your family not trust you or like you!#and now i get to rub it in his face that HE can't function in a house by himself and still needs to beg my mom to clean up after him #bc i spent so much of my childhood getting berated and called lazy for not doing chores #getting told stuff like 'you have to function by yourself your parents can't always pick up after you'#and then he's literally useless without his wife #he's not disabled and he's not neurodivergent he's never even had a serious health scare he just doesn't bother to learn how to clean #his excuse is that he doesn't know how to use the washer and dryer (it has been almost ten years fucker. learn)#or he doesn't know which cleaning products to use (you have google and a library card. LOOK IT UP)#he's the only person i get mad at for this behaviour bc he's a fucking hypocrite and a child abuser about it too #he is the exception to my rule of everyone needs to be given the space to get things done where they're able and deserve help when needed #and I'll bend over backwards to make excuses for other people so i DONT exclude them from my rule i will try to find every good reason first #he has no fucking excuse though he made two teenagers nearly homeless bc he thought we were too lazy and then he's even worse

I really wish we had more fics/content exploring Y'shtola's blindness, especially because aside from a few scenes, it goes so unmentioned in the game. Like, do you think that she forgets what her friends' smiles look like, eventually? Do you think she forgets the sky, or the forest, or the colorful cityscape? She can see with aether, but it's all just the same shades of blue, monotonous, blending into each other. Like a big mass of magic and she just has to guess what that's supposed to mean. If someone's aether is shaking weirdly she has to guess that they're crying. She can't see expressions, or colors, or anything besides featureless blue. She just has to infer what she can't see based off of sound and experience, and even worse, she knows that using aether sight like this is killing her slowly. I really wish the game had her linger on her blindness longer than "oops, well, that's a thing now". There are so many cool scenarios that could be explored...

#rambles into the void #ffxiv #ffxiv yshtola #that one scene between her and urianger in the first where she asks him to describe the stars is one of my favorites #cant we have more scenes like that???#square... if youre going to give us a disabled main character PLEASE make her disability make a difference. literally any difference at all #because 99% of the time the fact that shes literally blind is just ignored #alsooo dont fact check me on the “aether sight is killing her” thing that might ve completely wrong idk but i thought i heard it somewhere

Thinking about that line in Fatal Frame 3: The Tormented when you're playing as Rei and you go to visit Miku in her room at night and Miku sees you and says all sweetly "Having trouble sleeping? Do you need to sleep in here with me?" like sleeping in the same bed together is a thing they commonly do, especially when Rei is having nightmares, and it melts my heart every time because it's just so sweet. 🥺💜

#fatal frame #miku hinasaki #rei kurosawa #rei kurosawa x miku hinasaki #project zero #fatal frame 3 #first time i heard it i actually had to reload my save because i thought i heard it wrong #i literally melt every time i hear it #I have to actually pause the game for a few moments to steady my gay ass heart over it

oh how I love responding to every little thing by having a panic attack nowadays

#dressed in everything but a bra and ready to roam the streets at 3 in the morning #aka a complete ass. a hysterical one. one who was apparently gonna walk her sobbing ass to the all-night clinic #between the wild dogs and the patrol cars. uh huh. I'd never have been heard from again #best part: I had the anxiety meds the clinic gave me last time at home. I forgot about them bc I was panicking though.#... in other news I've been soothed and medicated and hugged and commanded to see the psychiatrist I have a referral for first thing 2moro #at 6am. who in tarnation is awake at 6am let alone coherent enough to explain what's wrong #thought

Guess who recently watched gregory horror show this week and totally didn't develop feelings for the crusty elderly rat man

#I just finished all four seasons of the show and. Holy shit. I get the hype for this show. It fucking rules ^_^#Back then I only slightly heard of this series. At first I thought it was some weird point and click adventure game from the late 90s #But apparently I was wrong.#I just kinda remembered that I heard of it lately and decided to look into it to see what it was.#And I just got. Sucked in out of sheer curiosity and interest #And since it mostly comprised of 3 minute shorts it was easy to watch the full seasons in their entirety when I had time #It's one of the most unique shows I have seen in a while and I'm really glad I checked it out when I did. It's really good #I'm also gay as hell for gregory. He's such a bastard and I want to marry this decrepit rat so badly #I just realized this is the 2nd time I fell in love with and old rat man.. oh dear #*ramble txt #Gregory horror show
