Long time Sims 2 player complaint:

Now, I'm happy that a lot of people are experiencing the sims 2 AND 1 for the first time ever, I truly am happy people are getting to play. However, I can't lie that it's a little bit annoying seeing some of the big youtubers play it and their reactions, lack of knowledge on it but pretending they know what they're doing because they played it 15 years ago as a kid? Or how they're now making tons of videos on how to do things or how to play the game when there's a whole community out there who have these videos on their channels, there's no acknowledgement of the sims 2 community and how amazing they are, there's no credit to modders or people who made this game playable while EA continued to ignore our pleas to fix stuff? Am I the only one feeling this way? Idk, I'm not jealous at all, I know if I dropped a youtube video tomorrow, I'd have my community celebrating with me.... I guess I'm just a bit salty and annoyed watching sims 4 players act the way they are about TS2....not like it's been around since 2004 or anything. Smh, I've been in such a bad mood this week (real life related stuff, not cause of the sims lol)... and it's starting to spill out everywhere lol...

Untagged sad ending angst in the dash got me Distraught And Upset

My computer mouse broke a while ago, and I'm very upset I bought a new one, but I can't draw straight lines with it; for whatever reason it keeps arcing and curving which is a no-go for what I do. I need to have very steady lines for tuning and drawing, this new mouse doesn't allow for that, and I'm very upset. I can't do the only things that make me happy now :( Ever since my hand started shaking and my hearing's been messy, traditional art and melody making have kinda sucked,, and now you're telling me digital art and tuning is now not possible? I enjoy writing, but my cognitive abilities have been getting worse, too. So that's only an option sometimes Drawing was one of the few things I could do when shaky and unwell, and life took that from me now too via mouse death?! c'mon now

That fight in the council chamber and all I could see was the Bane and pink guy meme.

Also spent way too long drawing this, had way too much fun with the painterly style of Arcane and it was too late to change back to flat colours and cel shading.

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

have realized that while i am not a fan necessarily of "people meet and immediately fall in love" i am a fan of "people meet and are immediately obsessed with each other." the love can come later but the absolute fixation should be immediate

Hate making decisions. Now that the fight or flight has gone I gotta deal with my unhinged actions

I'd truly be the worst person to stick into a timeloop because I'd really just spend the first 5 years catching up on my book tbr, the next 7 on all the movies and shows that've Been On My List for ages, and then another decade on ao3. like sure nothing may stick but my memories will and i can just go into a supermarket to get snacks and wine each day, and i have art to indulge in. like thanks for the hints on how to get out but respectfully, I am busy

[rocketbirdie]

just move on already.
