On god if someone EVER calls me a “uterus owner” in real life I’m going to lose my shit I hate that term so much and I get it’s supposed to be inclusive but all you’re doing is reducing people to their reproductive organs and it’s just so demeaning! I AM NOT JUST A UTERUS! I AM NOT JUST A VAGINA! I AM A PERSON! A WHOLE HUMAN BEING!

I loved my names I truly do, but having so many makes it hard to keep my identity in a way.

While I only have two birth names I have so many others, I have Lin Tingxian from my friend from Chengdu, it’s the name I use with all Chinese friends, she gave it to me after realizing she had no translation for my name, in turn I picked out her English name Clementine.

I have Mitzi from the aunties and uncles at the store, and then I began using that name online.

I have Noor from Arab friend because she thought the name would fit me beautifully, she said it as a joke but then it was all she called me and what she introduced me as.

I have Svetlana from Russian friend from when I told him how I disliked my first birth name, and he wanted to give me a name that I could love, and I do love it! I love it very much.

I have my Cherokee name, my Christian name, my other name from my biological father, I have so many other names.

Dear Alternate

Might I ask is everything okay?

Hello anon, I’m laying in a very fluffy bed wishing i had more than 5 hrs of sleep. But other than that… I’m alright. Everything that could go wrong went wrong yesterday, just lucky i didn’t miss my connecting flight last night. Now when i get home i need to go yell at my bank for thinking buying something on the Nintendo shop via my switch constitutes fraud alert/locking my debit card down. ESPECIALLY NOW BECAUSE I HAVE A HUGE MECHANIC BILL. HOW AM I GONNA PAY THAT, BANK?! anyway. I’m okay. Lol

i really like and enjoy and love that i got told today “you are a bit much” which was proceeded by “if we’re already explaining ourselves to each other i don’t see how that can be good” as if getting to know someone doesn’t involve them explaining what they mean by certain mannerisms and behaviors and sayings

I think I got a little carried away with this one, but alas it’s done. Just a small snippet from the fic Uneasy Elements by @itsthelass. I’ll do a second page if there is a demand, I seem to be on a roll.

I’d like to think Jay and Nya are very funny because they are both mechanics, but in entirely opposite ways:

Nya has all her tools in proper order. In her workshop, there is never any scrap part going unused. Any notes and blueprints since the ripe age of 12 have been carefully stored and saved, no matter how much she cringes when looking back on them. The Samurai X designs and revisions have their own file cabinet as well as digital backups. Her measurements are double and triple checked, even though she probably had it right the first time. Every choice she makes is calculated and buffed out, from the interlocking gears to the paint job. She prides on her work on being practical and aesthetic, thank you very much.

Jay, meanwhile, is the definition of fuck around and find out. Blueprints? Who needs em, anyways? The only thing vaguely resembling “notes” in his work area are scrap pieces of paper with the most round-about mathematics ever (complete with indecipherable short-hand and a stick figure drawing of Jay holding a blowtorch, naturally.) He will change up plans on the fly and casually stick his hands in very sharp moving parts like there is no tomorrow. Safety equipment? He grew up in a junkyard. He had a wrench in his hand before he could walk. Yeah, no, he’s pretty sure he’s fine, thanks.

Rainworld fans when they don’t know how to interact with a female character without calling her a mother or a bitch: “yeah moons too boring :/// I like when she’s a bitch! Let her be mean!”

Moon very rarely displays anything beyond (Understandable) bitterness at her situation and some passive aggression. If you want to make aus or explore an alternate canon where she DOES act more “bitchy” go ahead. I support women’s wrongs. But I find it very disheartening that people see Moon’s sheer willpower, that she chooses to be kind again and again and again, as a weakness. As a “wrong” reaction to the situation she was put in.

I’m not gonna deny that some of her politeness is a hold over from etiquette back in the Ancients’ day. But I simply do not think her peace and kindness is wholly a weakness, or something subconscious she is unaware of. (OR uninteresting. In a world that is DESIGNED to make you feel small, a world designed to be unkind, having a character who chooses to be the opposite is SO interesting imo.) And I do not exactly think reading her angry moments as “bitchy” is a normal thing to do with the only prominent female character in the whole game.

Daily reminder that in 1980, only 36% of eligible voters between ages 18-20 and 43% of eligible voters between ages 21-24 voted. In 1984, 37% for 18-20 and 44% for 21-24.

Meanwhile, in 1980, 65% of eligible voters aged 65+ voted. In 1984, 68% voted.

Republicans have a history of relying on young voters to not vote. They purposefully make young people feel discouraged; like no matter what, it won’t make a difference.

I don’t care if your state tends to always vote with one party. Get out and vote.

Especially in swing states, every single vote matters. Every. Single. Vote.

Mail in your vote. Go during your lunch break. Plan to take the day off. Your vote matters. In fact, it matters so much that people will purposefully try to sabotage you voting.

Here’s a guide on how to register to vote and how to check if you are registered. Plan ahead. Make sure you know how to mail in your vote or where voting booths will be.

Republicans have been so flippant towards Gen Z because of our historical hesitance to vote.

We have the power to make things at least somewhat okay.

I have seen so many people from Gen z saying voting for Kamala is hopeless because she’s a woman of color, citing past elections as proof.

That discouragement is purposeful. It’s been used for decades. And it’s been working.

This website is relatively young. Especially with a lot of older Gen z, including me, where this is their first or second election that they are eligible for.

Don’t listen to those saying voting is pointless. That there is no way Kamala will win so who cares? It’s absolutely okay to be frustrated and or wary, but don’t let that keep you from taking action.

Young voters are the key. Start planning on your vote now. Take it seriously. Your voice matters. Your vote matters.

the urge to get violent with a younger brother right now is soooo ridiculously overwhelming…

getting home frustrated and angered from the incompetence of everyone around me, and naturally I can’t go and take it out on random strangers, or God forbid our parents. and the LAST thing I need right now is my stupid little brother making a snippy little comment or shoving me with a dumb smirk on his face that I’ll wipe clean off the moment I shove him back so hard he falls. I need to dig my fingers into the nape of his neck and pin him down on the ground, and I want him to stop laughing the moment he realizes this isn’t our regular roughhousing but something much more aggressive and sinister. I want him to start to panic and squirm and i want to hear his voice crack the moment he realizes that I’m not matching his strength anymore, that I’m overpowering him. I want him to start shaking after the third smack over the head I had to throw at him because he was being too loud and could alert others. I need to see him resigned and lumped beneath me, violently quivering and sobbing as he now learned what happens when you push your older brother to his breaking point.

as a native chinese, i feel like some of yall are taking the gods in lego monkie kid a bit too seriously. i understand why it feels iffy to ship / make silly content of deities that people worship irl (eg. nezha, sun wukong) but it’s a phenomenon on chinese social media too. c-netizens ship the fictionalized versions of these gods, which the gods of lego monkie kid are. they aren’t the actual gods people worship; they’re slightly tweaked versions of the book characters, just like any other chinese adaptation or retelling of jttw (and such stories like fsyy) also, no, nezha isn’t a child, in lmk or jttw or sometimes irl. just because he’s often depicted in child form doesn’t make him an immortal child. eros / cupid is often depicted as a winged baby, and he has a wife and kids. it’s basically the same thing here. nothing in lmk suggests that nezha is a child (his voice, his appearance, his personality etc. all imply he is an adult), and while he’s described as youthful in jttw, he’s already 1700+ years old by then and gods can shapeshift. people only think he’s an immortal baby because that’s a popular depiction of him, since one of his prominent myths is set during his childhood. but as long as you’re talking about the god nezha (fictionalized or the religious figure) and not the human child nezha, then that’s an adult [edit: the last sentence couldve been worded better. i would summarize it as “immortal youth nezha is a valid depiction and is popularized by mythology, but adult god nezha exists too and they are NOT mutually exclusive”]

The fact that her summer ascension art isn’t even bad… but it’s a copy and paste of her OG design as well…. Like… this is something else to me. It’s even funnier remembering that Dobrynya’s design is also just a copy and paste of the artists own OC ☠️… well, whatever.

alright, friends, it's time for a lil heart-to-heart.

for quite a while now, i've struggled with feeling like the rpc is an actual community. there's a few things that contribute to this feeling, but it mostly comes down to a lack of interaction and visible interest. sometimes i feel very one-sided in my interest and attachment to my mutuals bc when i see their ooc posts or headcanons, i like them or comment, yet this isn't reciprocated by everyone. i can usually guess who i'm about to see in my notifications, and to be absolutely clear, i'm very grateful for those people!! it's a handful or two of you, but it could be just one and i'd be grateful. it's not about numbers whatsoever but rather growing uncomfortable that not all of my mutuals are all that interested in my character or me.

i write on here to share the excitement of creating with other people. i write on here to create together, too, but i'm also here to share characters and ideas and lore with people i know are happy to hear me ramble. i'm just getting to the point in which i'm questioning how many of you are actually happy to listen, and that's just not a good feeling at all. i'm not a mind reader, y'all. if you don't tell or show me that you care about the things i talk about or even about interacting, there's no way for me to know. eventually, i'm going to question why you're following me if i never see or hear from you, and eventually, i'm going to softblock and move on. that's the only way forward i see right now because i just do not feel comfortable on my own blog. i feel like i'm retreating into this quiet bubble to avoid discomfort, and it really sucks. it's killing my muse.

i'm not perfect. none of us are, and we can't be online at all times to catch every little post. but if we're a community, then we should be supporting each other when we can and liking headcanons, liking/commenting on those lil ooc posts that remind us our writing partners are humans with lives outside this site, reblogging their promo posts, sending in that meme they've reblogged even if we're nervous to reach out first -- if we're a roleplaying community, then we need to act like it. " community " implies connection, and a connection doesn't really begin when you follow each other. it begins when you reach out, even if it's in some small way.

tldr: i think we can all do better to support our mutuals and to connect, and i'm going to softblock people rather than continue to feel unsure where i stand with my mutuals. i won't start until sometime next week, and i won't make one of those " like this to remain mutuals " posts. they're not helpful to me, if i'm honest. if you're worried, just reach out. i'm literally a 4'9'' gremlin who sleeps with a m.unchlax plushie -- i promise i'm not scary despite this post uvu

don’t the creators in the sims community see what people are saying??? do they realize the majority of people think it’s scummy to put cc behind permanent paywalls and expect people to pay ridiculous prices for literal pixels? or do they just not care because some people actually pay them?

controversial opinion, but i absolutely hate dogs if they’re untrained.

yeah, he’s adorable, he’s incredibly cute and fluffy. but he also has zero concept of no, doesn’t listen to you at all, barks constantly, jumps on me incessantly, and is kind of a menace.

if you can’t even get your dog to come to you so you can put him outside when someone uncomfortable with dogs comes over… you have a problem.
