#LIKE IM INHERENTLY EVIL THAT SHOULDNT EXIST

[satanslion]

Me trying to get out of a conversation I didn’t want to be in after i said multiple times I didn’t want to talk/explain myself (that started after a throw away comment abt my experiences with dealing with health care MY WHOLE FUCKING LIFE): i just don’t want to talk about it, don’t take it personally (PLEASE FOR FUCKS SAKE)

My Ma immediately talking about it (advocating for them, not only that but in a way of trying to explain why i was wrong about my feelings about it): oH I leArNEd Not To YEaRs AgO (i think you’re absolutely targeting me every time you don’t completely agree with me or doesn’t do exactly what i say when i say)

I'm afraid tumblr will eat my tags again, so I'll just type it out here (anyone who doesn't want my added commentary is free to reblog from the previous reblogs);

I have a friend who is male, who has reported having MULTIPLE women grab his ass without consent in his life.

I myself (a cisgirl) have had a lot of women, particularly one of my relatives, feel WAY TOO COMFORTABLE talking about my breasts, my private parts, and my sex life. I've never been sexually harassed by men beyond "heehee my friend wants to date you!! hahahahaha", but I've had women get into my space and say sexually explicit things at me, for the purpose of humiliating me.

And that's when me and my friend are both white. I can't fathom how much worse it gets when racism is factored in.

Some men behave inappropriately and need to keep their hands to themselves, but some women ALSO behave grossly inappropriately and need to keep their hands to themselves. Being a fucking creep is not a inherent-to-gender problem. It's an inherent-to-being-an-entitled-asshole problem, and ANYONE can be a fucking entitled asshole.

Which I've found runs especially hard for the "men are inherently a threat" crowd, to be honest...

personally, as a transfeminist, i wouldn't particularly feel inclined to die on the hill of "all perception of men as a threat is value-neutral, and comes from the privilege men experience within the patriarchy." i just simply don't think "it is men's jobs to ensure they do not make women feel uncomfortable or distressed with their presence" is the world's most unassailable feminist hill, especially as someone with black men in my family whose experiences with racism color my day to day life. but that's just my opinion and all.

im well aware there is a problem of racism within the zutara shipp community, i won't pretend to be dumb and say i don't notice how a lot of fanworks have katara abandon her culture in order to become fire lady or how zuko protects her from "the evil misogynist men from the water tribes" and how the fire nation is sm cooler than the southern water tribe, the whitewashing, etc. those are real things, it's disgusting and as a POC, it makes me feel insecure in the fandom. there is a problem w nsfw fanarts and fanfics of zutara as minors too

but all of this isn't limited to the zutara shippers and this isn't a defense but a plea for all of you to look closely with what and who u interact w. literally this week we saw a kataang shipper be exposed as a racist and a harasser. I'm on twitter again and her interactions w other kataang shippers are many but the warnings coming from other people come a long way too and i barely saw any ka addressing the situation. there was a exposed of a zk group chat some months ago who were actually proshippers and the exposed was created by a zutara shipper who was even harasseed by zk shippers (the ones in the gc and others too)

avatarfandompolice is another racist user who receives a lot of attention too. zvtara-was-never-canon is managed by a zucest shipper. hell there is a literal zionist lurking around both the zk and ka fandoms (starlight-bread-blog)

a lot of the anti zutara discourse i see the majority of time doesnt actually focus on the racism the fans have towards katara but go on to call it a toxic shipp and a colonizer/colonized shipp. funny thing is, these people praise zuko's arc and his friendship w the gaang. if u actually think zuko is a colonizer and he shouldnt be w katara romantically, he shouldnt have a friendship w any of the gaang either. they all suffered under the FN's imperialism but this discourse only appears when romance is brought up and specifically w zutara. as i said before, there is a problem of racism within the zk shippers but it isn't inherent to the shipp. a lot of times this anti discourse comes from a need to have moral high ground. but honestly, do u think u have moral high ground while stanning kuvira, a grown ass woman who put waterbenders and firebenders in concentration camps? do u think u have moral high ground when u insist zutara is ass but ship zukaang, a boy who is 12 and the other who is 16? do u think u have moral high ground when u ship azula and zuko, the siblings? do u think u have moral high ground while u shipp zukka and doesnt think it is colonized/colonizer bc "sokka doesnt care ab his culture"?

and it goes both ways btw. zk shippers, do u think u have moral high ground when u interact w racists fanworks and refuses to aknowledge their existence but at the same time say kataang is inherently misogynist and their shippers too? do u think u have moral high ground when u attack zukka by being homophobic? do u think u have moral high ground ignoring that by having a redemption's arc, zuko needs to have smth to redeem about and that something is his horrible fucking choices a lot of yall try to woobify? do u think u have moral high ground when u try to justify zuko being a bad and possessive boyfriend just bc u don't like mai?

there is a problem of racism, misogyny and homophobia in the fandom and im tired of everyone pretending their little bubble is perfect and never a part of the problem. i love avatar but anyone w half a brain knows the show is racist and stereotyping at times, just like the creators. yk, the two white men who appropriated a lot of things.

it was a long rant and i don't expect people to read it but I just needed to rant ab it anyway

[scarletspider-lily]

this bullshit discourse around cishet aromantic men is driving me insane and im not aromantic or aspect in the slightest but i gotta rant. because it's just getting very ridiculous at this point, because people make assumptions about everyone and also want to twist the definition of being queer- for some reason?? 1) "well- well they dont get oppressed!! >:(" sorry, pause, why the FUCK are we making "oppression" a part being lgbtq+ ? is this some new fucking requirement?? are you people okay?? i dont give a fuck if some queer child has had the best life ever in a super inclusive area from the second they were born, i would be happy for them?? maybe you should too? listen, ive faced oppression for being bisexual, and have felt envious of those with accepting family and whatnot, but what im not going to do is discredit my fellow queer person for facing "less" or no oppression at all for their identity. crazy take, but i think the goal should be to reduce queer oppression...

and oppression is not... some fixed scale type of thing, someone was trying to say that being asked "when will you get married?" to aro people wasn't oppression. as if that is not the only thing aro people face, as if instituitions like marriage dont exist, with certain economic benefits aro people can't partake in, and social constructs making certain people seem "weird" and straight up ostracized from social groups if they choose not to partake in romance.

2) amatonormativity is a thing, look it up. i get that it may be frustrating if you are allo to accept that youve been taught a lot of stuff about romance that seems magical and all encompassing and you dont want to give it up, but no one is asking you to do that. i used to be taken aback at some things aro folks pointed out, but as ive read more, ive realized that romance is wonderful to some people but shouldnt be held up as the ultimate pedestal in society. so, romanticize romance and whatnot if you personally want to, but understand that certain social constructs may harm people, especially those who do not want relationships for whatever reason. plus, learning about amatonormativity has helped me positively go about my own relationships- platonic and otherwise! 3) im gonna piss people off with this one, but please stop with the bullshitty radfem takes about cishet men being the ultimate spawn of satan, or something. the jokes here and there were one thing, but some of you guys actually believing that most of what cishet men do is inherently evil is legitimately concerning and this doesnt do much to actually help any matters. no, the man choosing to have another hookup this week or continuing to fuck a female friend-with-benefits isnt the ultimate enemy here against women. most takes on "hookup culture" generalize a lot of people's experiences, and i know there is research backing multiple perspectives on this, but at the end of the day what needs to be realized is that you cannot stop two consenting people from doing things together. it has no impact on you, and does not have a grand impact on society. unless you have definitive proof that whatever evil man you're talking about is "using women", there's no point to what you are saying, and if there is such a man, cishet aro men still are legitimate in their identity. would you exclude gay people from the community because of gay people who do bad things? would you do that for most identities? no? what makes this so drastically different, then? dont pull the oppression argument again for the love of god anyways, i hope all the cishet aro men and aro people in general are having a nice day. you will always be a part of the lgbtq+ community. dont let anyone tell you otherwise, or discredit you for the amount of "oppression" you face, as im sure they dont know half of any struggles you have. and if you (or any queer person in general) do happen to have few struggles, im very happy for you, as that's how it should be!!

[selamat-linting]

my parents aren't exactly fundamentalist people, but the day to day of living in a culture with a strong eschatological belief was enough to be traumatizing, no matter what religion it is. and im sure this is not just me, most people are just too afraid to even acknowledge how it fucks with them.

take a typical nature phenomenon, like eclipses, stars, black holes, sandstorms, weird animals, or rivers gone red from algae. this thing should have inspired curiosity right? well, in my country, all of the news articles and science videos regarding the subject is filled with people proselytizing, warning others its a sign of the apocalypse. worse when its a disaster like floods or tsunami or heatwaves or even extinction from poaching and environmental destruction. i've had people saying brazenly that climate change isn't man-made but god's punishment because the apocalypse / rapture is coming soon and we have too many LGBT people existing so of course trying to stop it would be a waste of effort, so just pray and prepare for akhirah and abuse others into falling in line.

the media does not help either. they made cheap infographic shows that are literally just about scaring people about the end of the world. a baby born with a life-threatening disability gets turn into shock fodder for tv because its born with one eye on its forehead. thats evil. do they even think of the effect it will cause for disabled people? of course they dont, in their mind theyre doing good because theyre reminding people that the apocalypse is coming soon and they should repent. i wonder, if someone from 2012 see a one-eyed child, would that kid be safe?

and in terms of personal experience, its horrifying to hear adults say, "yeah dajjal (the anti christ) will show up in your lifetime so you'll see the end of the world" and think that your parents didn't care enough to even think of the implication of bringing you to this world when its so corrupt and rotten. especially when you grow up knowing something is wrong and different with you.

and its not just that. its the end of the world, of course people would constantly talk about it in hushed tones. i've seen predictions shared in facebook or whatsapp groups, talked by kids and adults in sermons and hearsays. it turns people hostile to others with a different religion, or at best, they learn to be apathetic or detach their inherent empathy to other people because they have a different religion so theyre going to hell for eternity. so why fucking bother being tolerant or befriending them? you dont want to commit a grave sin since you wished a non-muslim to go to heaven for their good deeds right?

and when i was a kid, my friends would all have this strategy to prepare for judgement day. creating a culture where kids make up survival scenarios to prevent eternal, senseless torture is bad. and hypocritical when you keep saying god's love and care are boundless and unconditional.

my dad and every preacher i know always say to not be afraid of death, its something to look forward to, because you'll meet god, but you cant kill yourself and you must make sure even if its a natural death you live in the right way so you dont go to hell and be tortured for eternity. i agree death shouldnt be feared, but none of these people are truly unafraid of death. they shaped their entire life to make sure their death is the right one, and they force others to have belief out of a misguided sense of love.

i had an uncle who went far into this religious group, and even if the practices are completely identical to mainstream sunni islam, the man stopped providing for his wife and just pray and pray without doing anything else. believing god would simply take care of everything and even if he didn't, the apocalypse is coming soon! becoming too successful will just distract you from akhirah anyway.

its disgusting. i dont care what any religious/spiritual people on this site says. religion never gave people a sense of gratefulness or wonder or fulfillment. it turn them into incurious, selfish, frightened fucks that are too helpless to even fight for themselves and their home because the world is ending and its an inevitability so why bother? but thats the best case scenario. at worst, the eschatological sentiment turn people raging bigots abusing others so they'd convert or fall in line with cisheteropatriarchy and blame every tragedy to powerless minorities instead of the people in power.

i might have some faith left in me, but i would still advocate for state atheism. because its obvious every dominant religion will be used as a tool for terror and submission.

[ooglywooglies]

yknow that robot racism post from yesterday, i checked on some of the people involved bc i figured that topic finished up while i was asleep and the main annoying guy was like "well ill give you that real racism is obviously worse but i dont think people should just feel like they can be cruel to inanimate objects" and i saw other people agreeing with him and going as far to talk about HOW MUCH THEY LIKE THOSE ROBOT POLICE DOGS

like bro

first of all im gonna say something that most people arent gonna like and also something you might not expect of me as a notorious no fun allowed animal welfare guy, i think most police dogs should be put down. i shouldnt have to tell you those fucking robot dogs are intentionally designed to emotionally manipulate the general public into not seeing them as the weapons they are. this is actually the reason they use real dogs (other than the fact that real dogs can be fucking vicious) and i personally think we should see robot dogs and real police dogs the exact same way, which is that they are tools of an oppressive military state and that they should not exist.

you can frame this in a way thats still sympathetic to the dogs of course, theyre trained to be violent, the training is probably inherently abusive. but you shouldnt let your sympathy for the dogs outweigh your sympathy for the real human beings they maul and kill on a regular basis. the fact that theres people who let their animal empathy leak into fake fucking robot animals that dont even have feelings makes me fucking sick.

robots and ai will probably NEVER be sentient, at the very least they definitely fucking are not right now and they arent even close to getting there.

one of the biggest points i try to drive home with my yapping about animal welfare irt mostly exotic pets and exploitation for social media is you owe it to animals and yourself as someone who thinks you care about animals to put your feelings and instincts aside when it comes to them. if you value your compassion you must recognize that you are a bag of chemicals and letting your desires get the better of you can cause harm. you should not hold the lives of animals above that of your fellow human and you should NOT hold affection for inanimate objects above that of your fellow human being. if you think humans are inherently evil youre an ecofascist and your best course of action is to remove yourself from the planet

[kcollective]

why are you targeting newly discovered systems with harmful advice???

idk what romanticizing plurality means in this case but like. u can heal without romanticizing it. that can lead to u getting worse. like if you trigger uself on purpose and stuff.

trauma recovery spaces can be toxic or they might not. telling people they shouldnt try to talk abt trauma recovery is harmful

im not sure what more plural means either. ur plural or ur not. identity confusion happens in stages and being a system isnt something you have more or less of. if u mean that its ok to want more alters or want more well-defined alters thats different but you are not more or less of a system for that. a system with a higher headcount is not "more plural" (theory of structural dissociation; identity separation exists in stages but in DID/OSDD-1/P-DID, it is systemhood, regardless of if you personally feel like multiple people or not)

its true to see what ur alters want but its not inherently bad to call alters parts. it depends on the system

idk how to feel abt the social media thing but i kind of agree. def be careful, stick only to anti-endo spaces. some discord servers are ok but if ur confused abt stuff u have to be very careful

"quoigenic/prasigenic" or any other origin labels are NOT your friends whatsoever. your origin is due to trauma because that is how systems form. do you have to come to terms with it now? no, you dont, but please do not let people online try to convince you to not heal or that your trauma isnt valid. using terms to pretend you dont have trauma will make healing harder. it will make things worse. if you have alters, you have trauma. op is in denial and trying to convince you to be too by using terms that arent real. (source: google what causes dissociative disorders. its very easy to disprove this one lmao. dont get sucked into this "origin" stuff, its not medically backed whatsoever and is spread by people who are also misinformed and looking for external validation for not wanting to accept their trauma)

the rest is fine but this is a great example of why not to trust everything you see online. stick to medical spaces, do ur research, dont go based off random tumblr posts trying to convince you to use harmful terms. /info

[nemophilisst]

if i see one more post about assholes "shutting down" people by saying the most disrespectful shit ever im gonna just fucking lose it like what the absolute fuck when did it become normal to harass people based on personal bias, completely false superiority, or just being an asshole??? cause man if people can get away with assaulting people in the multitude of "excusable actions" circulating im just gonna fucking go around doin the same thing. oh you think someone with a uterus shouldnt be trusted with the basic right to abort a pregnancy? well i think you shouldnt have your face because its going to "end a life" if someones having a bad day and you glare at them.

"they were asking for it because they were wearing something inappropriate?" no they fucking werent they can go wear whatever the fuck they want?? oh its offending god? yeah doesnt the bible address this by someone getting told to pull their eyes out if they cant stand to look at a normal fucking human being eithout being overwhelmed by lust?? why dont you stay true to your religion and go pull your eyes out? or better yet, go kill yourself. right fucking now. if you really think its okay to abuse someone for existing then man im gonna do it too!

and oh man oh me oh my if god "doesnt make mistakes" then man... guess you really should pull your eyes out! other religions too: like i get it im not saying religion is inherently bad but man if youre gonna go harass someone because "har har harr everyone has to conform to get saved at death" why dont you maybe can it?? why the fuck dont you focus on life before worryinf about what happens after? now im not exactly a genius with religion but i think like the basic structure is in fact to protect ones soul after death, right? yeah wouldnt a god or creator or whatever want you to live a life that doesn't harm other people?? man hmm it seems like maybe hiding behind religion is stupid as fuck!

its also stupid as fuck to harass people and murder snd just ruin their lives for other shit they cant control?? most problems bloom from stereotypes that some fuckass made up because they couldnt recognize another human? erm acshually nemo youre wrong-- shut the fuck up? youre not free from bias because you think you know better- im not either?? but at least my bias is that horrible people (in my opinion) suck ass and not that "oh gee that person is not an exact mirror of me they gotta die!! they must be evil!!" uhm?? how much of an ego do you have to think that everyone should be like you?? kill yourself.

[whyyoualwayssoradical]

im not pretending anything, the visualization at first seemed to match what i knew, fucking sorry i guess? dont know why youre so ready to just attack me when trying to have a fucking discussion about it because IVE REALIZED THE VISUAL WAS BAD after it was pointed out and was trying to talk through it and where shit may have likely been pulled from. and generally the people i follow have much better understanding on issues over there so im so sorry that i tried to boost others voices whom i thought was just showcasing a very quick representation of the situation over time. do you check every single detail of every single little thing you reblog down to the letter before reblogging all the time without fail ever and never been corrected after the fact? i don't really know why you're being antagonistic towards me when ive stated over and over again im trying to learn and understand, you word things as if im being disingenuous when i swear im not, again im am trying to learn and understand.

also i never said i know oh so much. ive been saying im trying to learn and understand the situation, why are you saying something not true? do you mean because i said ive spent weeks researching it? that's not me saying i know so much, that's me saying im trying to research and understand what all is going on over there and that is one of the efforts im making to educate myself on it. the only bias i have is people shouldnt be getting killed on either side by anyone, because thats fucking wrong, didn't think i had to clarify that the killing of innocent people on either side is abhorrent.

"The fact that you are taking the word of deranged American non-Jews you KNOW are deranged as an accurate reflection of Israel is truly incredible."

this is not at all what i have said or meant by anything i've said so i dont know how you arrived at this conclusion. i think you have misunderstood a lot of what i have been trying to say, likely due to my poor communication skills.

i didnt say jewish voices agree with crazy american evangelicals. i talk about israel the state entity, not israelis or jews, when people talk about america everyone knows they're talking about the entity and not the individuals, so why is it different for israel? i know there's plenty of jews that don't agree with zionism, do you think the only jew ive ever met and interacted with in life is the one that went to my church and was a staunch zionist? is that what you think? i know the christians are disingenuous in their support of israel and jewish people because they only see it as a means to "the end" and i said absolutely nothing to imply otherwise or at least i thought i didnt say anything to imply that but im fucking stupid so i dont know.

where am i not listening to jews? i talk about israel, not jewish people, jewish people exist wether israel exists or not, i talk about israel more specifically the part of the government i know has influence and is influenced on and by american evangelicals, i knew of "bibi" netanyahu long before he was prime minister this most recent time around, you think i'm just pointing him and his party out for no reason?

do you think the evangelicals have no connection or influence to israel at all? because thats simply not true. also i have explicitly tried to refer to netanyahu and the likud party, at no point whatsoever have i intended to imply all israelis feel the same as them, because again i talk of the entity israel as the actor not individual israelis.

youre doing the same thing everyone else does, whatabout hamas? the situation has been a problem long before hamas existed. i dont know enough about hamas, i simply dont, but it's something i'm working on learning more about, but obviously their bad deeds are evil too and they arent inherently some force for only good just because they aren't israel, you are saying i believe things that i have never once said or even implied. i do have a lot of knowledge about israel and its ties to the US particularly in regards to zionism and i know what israel is doing is fucking wrong and has been wrong for decades. i didnt say that made it okay for what hamas did or what any armed group has done anywhere that got civilians killed or worse. do you expect hamas to carry out peaceful demonstrations to beg for israel to stop killing palestinians when palestinians have tried just that and got targeted by precise sniper fire?

you want me to make a post specifically calling out the issues with hamas? i didnt think i had to mention hamas explicitly on a post about israel when the history that i was discussing predates hamas.

is israel as powerful without the backing of evangelical zionists? some of who i personally know are jewish that have these beliefs, that's also a jewish voice that says to stand for israel no matter what? so should i only listen to her view? her view that tells me to "defeat gods enemies"? which jewish voice is correct? there's many.

i have no idea what your last part means but it sounds very hyperbolic. "blood plague"? i dont even know what that means. im not saying i know for a fact its not antisemitic, im trying to understand why it is which is why i asked. there are islamaphobic and antisemitic attacks happening all over the world, you think im deaf to that? a mob tried to rush a plane from tel aviv that landed in russia, that is antisemitic hate like you're saying is happening and then muslim people are also being attacked around the world like in america but you only pointed out the antisemitic and not the islamophobia so does that make you biased as well? if im following your logic on my bias then that would mean you have bias as well, you mention one and not the other side that equals bias? not being a smart ass legitimately asking

i don't know what you think i believe or what you think i think but it's clear from your attitude that you already hold me in contempt and prefer sarcastic whips in your dialogue than actual discussion to get to the truth of things. from your last lines of text, you've already decided what i think and believe instead of talking to me about it. do you really think i would intentionally reblog something if i thought was antisemitic?

im trying to learn and understand the situation as best i can. i know i dont know enough. i know im in over my head. but i cannot be quiet in the face of israel (specifically the state entity backed by US arms which is what i always mean when i say israel) genociding palestinians.

clearly you only expect perfection out of anyone on here which is exactly why i rarely post my own thoughts. you must be perfect and have the perfect exact opinion or we will tear you to shreds because you made a mistake.

clearly im just stupid and terrible at communicating and sorry for caring about palestinians and not explicitly condemning hamas and sorry that i talk about israel as israel when talking about the state entity that kills people, that kills palestinians and israelis because they dont fucking care about the people they govern and only care about their end goals.

i dont even know what this says anymore, i dont know anything, like idk i was like oh we can have a discussion about this visual because turns out it's terrible and you just attack me when im just trying to understand and learn and find the truth.

i dont know what else im supposed to do, im trying but clearly im just stupid and spreading nothing but antisemitic hate with every stupid post because i was completely isolated from most of the rest of the world until i was about 18 and so i have very limited, stunted, outdated, and indoctrinated beliefs im trying to work through.

sorry again, im sorry.

Palestinian-Israeli "conflit" in 30 secondes

[musubiki]

Ok final boss idea: an angel that suffers from delusions with a savior complex obsessed with the idea of restarting the world and guiding her believers to “the light” (excruciating world ending destruction)

AN INTERESTING IDEA !!!!!!! the current final boss beta actually isnt that far off from this idea!!! (im not sure if ive ever rambled about the witch king/final boss so here it is!!)

the tldr version of what the final bad guy is supposed to be is that its the first witch king who went through too much shit and also has too much power given to him by the gods of the stars, whose big ideal is that he wants to essentially cleanse the world of anyone who doesnt have magic !!!

from what i see it as in my head right now, magic was originally supposed to be used to HELP humankind (heal sickness, flourish crops, make life easier, etc), but something something selfish human nature, basically non-magic users got jealous and greedy and it turned into one of those "they have too much power, gotta kill them before they realize this and kill us first" kinda things that sparked a decades long war between the witches kingdom and other kingdoms. said witch king lost too many people he loved in the process (and you know how witches are with their love), so eventually the witch king went "fuck it, youre right" and DID go and kill everyone. decided "fuck those guys, we're gonna make it so that theres just no more normal humans left to eliminate this conflict altogether for now and for the future. everyone will have magic and the world will be better"

the cat witch at the time was his right hand and of course didnt agree with the idea at all. thought they should just suffer through the conflict instead of going scorched earth. and USUALLY when a witch goes off the rails (at least from what mochi knows in her time), theres a thing called the divine wrath of the stars where the gods strike you down (not subtly) for breaking your oath to not take life of another, but this didnt happen with the witch king and no one really knew why.,.. (some people think the gods of the stars loved him too much and couldnt do it)

either way, the cat witch tried to rally the other of the 5 major witches (crow/snake/frog/spider) to go against him, but the plan fell apart and the most she could do is use up all her power to seal him away. (quick aside: these 5 were the first witchs guild - the guild of the dragon witch king, so the title "the cat witchs guild" references mochis guild with her friends as well as the guild mochi HERSELF IS IN!!! the collective power of the guild is supposed to match the power of its respective witch for this purpose, in case said witch needs to be stopped, so she wouldve needed the other 4 to fully take him down)

another beta idea connected to this is that there was no time limit on when the seal would break, but the seal becomes weaker anytime you use the dragon witches magic, which later became the "dark/forbidden" magic!! i think ive mentioned before that there is no magic thats inherently evil, but there is magic that you shouldnt use and this is the reason. (timeline-wise, i think its when mochi uses that forbidden magic to save lime that the seal really starts to become undone. that was one of the last cracks in the glass, the beginning of the end)

for thousands of years following there were prophecies written that were supposed to point to warning signs of the witch kings return, one of the big ones being that there will be magic overflow in the witches of the time hes supposed to come (this is also the reason mochis magic is so powerful and grows beyond what tiramisu or pom thought it would. the way witches describe it is that the magic is trying to prepare (compensate?) mochi and the other witches for whats to come, equipping them with what they need, if you will!! murda and the other 5 also grew with unnaturally high magic power)

lime, while he acknowledges the gods of the stars probably exist, really doesnt like them during this whole thing going on. hes really pissed off that they did not follow their word to lay their divine wrath on the king when they shouldve and now mochi has to shoulder the problem, and he also hates that theyre using mochi and the rest of the witches to solve a problem they could do themselves. he has a whole thing against the stars, but unfortunately i dont think any of them ever have a chance to confront them. its going to be like that scene in botw where zelda is praying in the pool and the goddess remains silent. "oh, to know the hearts of the gods, something we puny and stupid mortals will never understand." he says in a bitter tone.....

(there was a very last component to the final conflict that im not sure i wanna go through with yet but its a beta idea: basically the witch kings power has grown so powerful over the years that his lifespan is connected to the magic itself, and they find out that killing him will essentially kill every magic being/user in the world too. but letting him live would mean the death of every non-magic creature, so then they get faced with the impossible choice of well, do we kill all magic creatures or all non-magic creatures - and this is still in beta because i havnt found a resolution to this that i liked yet)

Toontown headcanons and lore

i havent made a new Toontown blog yet but i still wanna post this bc Im Love Toontown. this is a post of headcanons and lore i have for my Toontown universe!

ok to rb!

(warning for mentions of violence, injury and death, shouldnt be too bad but jic)

my Toontown story is a bit more on the mature side, more mature than the game actually is (think pg-13). kinda inspired by how some others have a slightly more mature approach to their Toontown lore/story as well, which i think is really neat!

the lore for my Toontown universe isnt the exact same as the lore for any Toontown private server, it mostly branches off of Toontown Online while borrowing some elements from Toontown Rewritten's lore and Who Framed Roger Rabbit

1. what are toons made out of?

the way i see it, id say toons are both organic and made out of ink and paint, like 50% organic and 50% ink and paint. most of that ink is in their blood and inner parts/organs, though it can also be found in other parts of their body along with paint. toons can be partially made out of different types of ink and sometimes other art stuff as well, and that could an equivalent to different blood types

2. can toons be hurt by gags?

oh yes absolutely! obviously if the intent is malicious, a toon can be hurt by gags and if the damage is severe enough, possibly even die from it. though thats not the only factor, it also depends on how that toon is already feeling. if a toon hates gags/is in general just not feeling it, they can also be hurt or killed by gags whether or not the intent is malicious

so basically, if the intent is malicious, gags can hurt toons. if the toon hates gags or is just not in the mood for jokes and shenanigans, gags will hurt them too, even if the intent was good/neutral

toons can also die in some ways regular people can die (though humans dont exist in Toontown), although theyre generally much more resistant to any cause of death that isnt based in toon physics. Dip will 99% of the time kill a toon, and even if they survive theyd require intensive care, because even if a toon isnt killed on contact from Dip, it can still make them sick later on and kill them that way

3. where does Toontown take place/where is Toontown located?

i headcanon that Toontown is located near Los Angeles and is next to Hollywood. theres also surrounding cartoon cities/towns/etc next to Toontown as well, although none are quite as big or populated. Toontown is basically the main hub, and the only one of these places cogs have been invading as the others have stayed under the radar, though that doesnt mean those are all in entirely good shape either. theres probably some ghost town near Toontown that was abandoned before the cogs started invading

the in-game districts are also actual smaller locations surrounding Toontown as well, mainly Toontown Rewritten's districts before its 2.0 update. for example, Fortissimo Forest is an actual forest, Avant Garden is an actual garden area (probably next to Daisy Gardens), Renaissance River is an actual river, Graphite Gulch is an actual gulch, so on and so forth. they also all resemble the art/music era or term they were named after, so theyre all completely different. theres also different neighborhoods in Toontown beyond the in-game ones too

4. are toons inherently good/are cogs inherently evil?

no to both. most toons are good bc thats the environment they grew up in. most cogs are evil bc they were programmed that way during manufacture, though a lot of cogs are also just made to do menial work. any toon can become evil (some are evil almost from the start) and any cog can be reprogrammed to be good, or even become good on their own

some toons and cogs are neutral or morally grey, and arent really aligned one way or another. some toons work for cogs, and some cogs befriend toons. some toons are pretty violent and will go out of their way to hurt or even kill/murder other toons, or get into other untoony mishaps as a whole

while Toontown is still mostly wacky and happy-go-lucky, its also become somewhat dysfunctional because of the toon-cog battle having gone on for a while

5. what kind of technology exists in Toontown?

radio and television exist in Toontown, and those are the toons' primary sources of entertainment. television channels in this universe are the equivalent of american television channels in the 20th century, except ofc more toonified. computers also exist but theyre like those big bulky desktop computers, and mainly just used by toons or cogs for research. social media doesnt exist in this universe, and the internet doesnt either besides a few different sites

im sorry but sometimes it is so see through that you fake and corrupt ‘pro recovery’ people are literally just so frustrated and annoyed with nd people and thats all your mindset revolves around. like you’ll throw one or two fucking random self care tips at us and we’ll rightfully say ‘that doesnt work for me’ and yall instantly go on these absolutely unnecessary and brutal TANGENTS you were saving up abt how we’re ‘’’’wallowing’’’’ and that therapy takes ~Actual Effort~ so if ur special universal tips arent working for us we’re ‘’’being difficult’’’ and ‘’’’lazy’’’’ and ‘’’’hurting ourselves’’’’’ like. idk man sure i am sorry i cant ‘take a shower to feel better’ bc my symptoms make the task more stressful actually and take away from my other more necessary tasks, im sorry i forget to take my vitamins and drink enough water bc i just dont feel a difference anymore, im sorry i rely on medication instead of therapy bc therapists also teach me things that dont seem to work, except im trying, which means no matter how hard i might seem to be failing, i am ‘pro recovery’. idc how the fuck it Looks to you personally, i deserve your support. and i shouldnt Feel the Need to apologize to a stranger who claims to be my ally for experiencing mental illness symptoms and not being able to immediately correct them ! if i could do that i wouldnt be mentally ill !! i especially should not be made to feel ashamed to even Talk about my struggles just bc i know yall will try to put a bandaid on it and then guilt me when i say it didnt work. smfh like. ur children. sometimes things just have deeper rooted problems and u dont have to take it personally that you specifically cannot cure me. 

ik it blows ur fucking goddamn mind but yes actually some people just Do really struggle to shower, to drink water, to take their meds, as in it takes actual personal efforts for them it wouldnt take for you and they have to work harder than you to accomplish them, and there are in fact some things nd people personally Cannot do and will Never be able to do without going backwards and sacrificing their happiness and quality of life exhausting themselves for an unattainable goal. only they know their limit, and pushing yourself past your limit is unarguably damaging. this ugly ass assumption you cannot be happy enough while still ‘allowing yourself’ to experience some symptoms... the idea that its just laziness and ‘anti recovery’ to openly struggle with what you view as the ‘easy’ or ‘beginning’ steps of recovery... is an inherently ableist and Harmful mindset you are all falling victim to and fucking over this community with. to be perfectly frank you are not ‘pro recovery’ when you demonize and shame people who are not ready for recovery. bc that doesnt do anything to help them recover. its genuinely just your excuse to hate and bash ‘severely’ nd people bc ur uncomfortable with them and wanna claim theyre doing it on purpose so you feel rightfully angry abt it. when you throw tantrums over us Being Mentally Ill and not ALREADY recovered like good boys or w/e all you are is pro nd people conforming to your standard of functioning and shutting the fuck up abt their actual identity and symptoms and experiences until they reach that level when ur comfy listening to them again. you’re pro neurotypical people, or those pretending to be for your comfort. its literally starting to border on an eugenics attitude by claiming the only healthy end goal is to be virtually indistinguishable from a neurotypical and match their functioning as best as possible. not all nd people Can do that, would be Happier doing that rather than accommodating their issues in other ways, and nor should that be the default goal to push on all nd people. also a lot of the shit yall push at us for even nts dont always conform to, so why is it us being made to walk on eggshells? why when i skip a shower am i evil and destructive but nt bob can go a week without one and no one bats an eye or they just joke about it???

lbr recovery doesnt look the same from person to person, you cant apply one broad standard like this, not to mention its not always an uphill battle, which doesnt just mean; ‘oops i relapsed :(((’. it means breakdowns, it means self harm, it means slacking off, failing hygiene, forgetting things, missing things, bad behavior, risky behavior, things that are Going to inconvenience you. and the second you forget that or decide to no longer care about those people, when you decide to have a baseline where you stop respecting or supporting nds for not trying hard enough to be like you, when you Drop them until they meet your standards as if they arent still nd people who need you on a basic level, ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A FUCKING NEUROTYPICAL WHO DOESNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHERRY PICK AT US LIKE THAT (!), is when you have inverted and ruined your own fucking cause by corrupting it with selfish conformist ableism. 

tldr i understand why statements like ‘just go to therapy’ ‘thanks im cured’ would frustrate you, but i also VERY MUCH understand and NEED for you people to TRY and understand why mentally struggling people would be adverse to going to therapy, and not bc they goddamn hate recovery and wanna be sad forever or w/e strawman youve come up with, but bc of their issues which are valid and Can hinder these types of decisions and even affect how much aid these coping skills actually provide, and they dont deserve your fucking Unbridled Malice and Shame over it bc they are not literally trying to be more mentally ill. its simply a symptom and consequence of their already existing mental illness. like i really... cannot fathom the level of disconnect you must be on with nd politics to take that and assume they are truly just rejecting the possibility of happiness for the sake of being unhappy. i truly think if you cant wrap your head around ‘mentally ill people, whos minds are literally experiencing sickness, are not always rational or able to help themselves, or sometimes it only appears that way and they just know better abt it than you do’ you just. arent even an ally. you’re an ableist in activists clothing. people struggling with the concept of recovery arent inherently ‘anti recovery’, yall are honestly just really fucking BAD at how you push for recovery bc most of you dont know shit and are just mean and wanna whine abt nds to be quite blunt with u lol. the whole ‘tough love’ mindset is Bullshit ok it isnt real your love doesnt have to be tough and callous and come with conditions you just wanna be abrasive to validate ur judgement and then excuse it as secretly helpful, just be supportive and 📣 LISTEN 📣 to us or get the fuck out honestly bc u arent helping anyone with what this shit has unfortunately become

[tfw-no-tennis]

hhhhhhxh

more abt hxh bc my last post was too long n i had to split it off holla

so i left off talking abt when gon woke up....i love how polite gon is to pretty much everyone - hes such a good lad all the time. s/o to his aunt for raising him right (tho i think hes also just a rlly good boy inherently too)

also is he named gon bc ging was like ha ha im boutta be GONe lol seeya kid!!!! like ????

i find it interesting that kurapika and hisoka fought....we really havent seen them interact at all yet. also hisoka is so smirk-y i hate that bitch...what did he say to kurapika?????? 

this poor red shirt old guy lmao hisoka is SO clearly uninterested in fighting him and then he fucking dies. rip mdude

what did hisoka whisper to HIM??? guess we’ll never know #RIPLegend

oh mannnn if killua had just won against pokkle then he wouldnt have had to deal with illumi doing That to him :( my smug son......

leorio is such a good dude....also its so funny to me how tall and lanky leorio is, espec compared to the other 3 main characters lmaoooo

or maybe those 3 are just rlly short??? i mean gon and killua are literally 12, but whats kurapikas excuse

GODDDD I HATE THIS BIIIIITCH. FUCK OFFFFFFF tho the evil piano music slaps. but jeeeeesus illumi is so creepy and awful, and seeing him take off his disguise is not any better a second time...he and hisoka truly deserve each other wrow

does illumi have hair powers??? cause it kinda looks like it. or maybe hes just gay and dramatic 

ok but the sick electric guitar riff (?) that played when illumis face was revealed was lowkey kinda hilarious

man i was so wrong abt killua knowing that that was illumi :( poor kid

killua is immediately freaking out and meanwhile illumi looks bored as hell. dude ur the worst 

killua: [freaking out] illumi, completely blank-faced: hey 

I HATE HIMMMM even tho his catman design is regrettably kinda cute

why do illumi and hisoka both have such snatched waists i hate this

wtf so killua has another different brother??? i assumed he attacked illumi....how many fuckgin zoldyk sibling are there?????

leorio ur too normie for this conversation lmao. also wow fucked up family huh

killua looks so like...small and helpless, which is so at odds from what we’ve seen of him so far :( this poor kid

illumi totally has some weird brain powers man callin it now 

gon: wow killuas family sounds wack...  satotz: oh lmao you havent even heard the rest 

KILLUA ;_; 

this poor baby assassin :( :( :(

IMMM INCONSOLABLE. HE WANTS TO BE FRIENDS W/GON.......ARE YOU KIDDING....AUGHHHHHHHH

meanwhile gon decided he and killua are BEST FRIENDS like 10 mins after they met. GOD 

like in the recap ep he called killua his best friend ;_; and meanwhile killua doesnt even think they ARE friends god destroy me 

this calming classical music is throwing me off vbhjfjhbsdkgndks

i sense that leorio and kurapika are rapidly acquiring a new son

DAMN THIS IS SO FUUUUCKEDDDDD illumi is such a crusty bitch wow. leave killua alone asshole 

all that stuff abt killua like, only thinking he wants to befriend gon but really wanting to kill him....that sure sounds like some ‘worst fears’ type of shit for someone like killua....illumi is such a classic abuser wow

i have 2 know is satotz like, repeating this entire conversation verbatim in a calming monotone to gon rn. like....

LEORIOOOOO I LOVE UUUUUUUU AUGHHHH him telling killua it doesnt matter if illumi is his brother, fuck that guy, beat him up as usual and leave.....ooooughhhh leorio is such a good dude ;_; 

and the OF COURSE him saying the obvious - that gon and killua are ALREADY friends....i love this, i feel like leorio said all the exact things the audience is thinking...yet it still didnt get thru to killua bc hes so rattled by illumi appearing, and the abuse in general 

i think if gon were there things wouldve gone much differently 

of COURSE crusty bitch illumi is like oh ok now i have to kill gon.....biiiiitch i hate uuuuu 

also that just shows that hes lying to killua (which we already knew obvs), bc if it were inevitable that killua would kill gon to like, test himself or w/e, then why not just wait for that to happen? that would have a much bigger impact on killua than illumi killing gon....its obvious that illumi is just manipulating him, but killua is too BSOD to be able to tell (also, hes 12)

ok bitch illumi is preaching abt not needing friends but he and hisoka are definitely fucking and theyve been teamed up for the entire hunter exam it seems.....what a hypocrite. hate this guy

god im so glad we didnt rlly get to see whatever the fuck illumi did to that random hunter examiner guy’s face. jeeeeesus. also i cant tell but i wonder if him forcing that info out of the guy was the result of his freaky mind powers or if the guy was just like oof ouch pins in me face

LEORIO AND KURAPIKAAAA THE PROTECT GON SQUAD!! and joined by new member hanzo!!! who ironically beat gon up for 3 hours str8 like, a very short amount of time ago lmao. but still i love that sm

illumi u dumb bitch.....tho i dont buy for a minute that he didnt already realize that killing gon would disqualify him...he defs just wanted to get under killuas skin even more :^( 

KILLUAAAA ;_; when he goes to step back from illumi but illumi tells him not to....ughhh HATE this guy, leave this poor kid alone. no wonder he wanted to leave

illumi saying theres only 1 way that killua can stop him - does he mean by killing him, or something more specific, like some forbidden zoldyk murder technique? 

‘your beloved gon’ wow gay. theyre 12 and theyre dating ok. killua is literally that kid whos like wow i wonder if gon likes me...and meanwhile gon is like wow cant believe me and killua have been dating for 3 months now

leorio saying ‘we wont let him kill you or gon’ ;_; leorio ily sm...thats like the exact right thing to say - hes offering protection and reassurance as an adult figure...unfortunately killua is clearly too freaked out to even process anything outside of illumis gaslighting and abuse 

also illumi is defs doing something to killua w/his eyes via his freaky mind powers. js

illumi i hate you stop being weirdly cute. augh 

classic abuse tactics, being like ha ha nvm i wasnt gonna kill gon! jk!

killua just shutting down completely after that :( :( noooo

and then he kills that old guy and leaves, ‘proving’ that illumi is right....noooooOOOO

and now we boutta see gon go FULL shounen protag for the first time, oh FUCKKKKKK yesssss

this is the first time we’ve seen gon angry oooh man and of COURSE its on killuas behalf,....im so fuckign emo already looooord

god ok the episode preview where its gon saying ‘do leorio and i look alike?’ YES U DO LOL youre father and son so jot that down 

oof, gon and illumi have such fundamentally different POVs on like, family and life and morals, and you can tell by their 4-line exchange before gon does the ICONIC one-handed grab’n’fling

AUGHHHH gon saying hes gonna rescue killua....SO good...he recognizes that killuas family is wack as hell and killua shouldnt be w/them - the classic ingrained ‘found family is more important than blood family’ stuff

tho thats an interesting contrast to gon himself, whos looking for his deadbeat dad

‘but it wasnt his choice’ that so good ily gon BEST boy, hes so perceptive and good......he knows that killuas hand was forced and that he needs to be RESCUED (love that word choice) from his shitty abusive family

of course kurapika and leorio voiced complaints ;_; best parents 

kurapika should be a lawyer tbh 

leorioooo ;_; such a good dude, saying he should be disqualified instead 

HOW is leorio a stronger combatant than that old dude hvbajufjbsja that guy had some moves it seemed, and leorio has,....a knife? a briefcase? the classic premed attitude of ‘fuck it, i could die anytime, lets do this’? like.....cmon vhabjdfjbhsf i refuse to believe this man is of any use in a fight. ill believe it when i see it

pokkle pls ur not plot-important enough to be jumping into this convo rn

tho i am curious abt what hisoka said to kurapika. tho i agree that thats irrelevant to the discussion 

gon repeating satotz’s wisdom :’) and saying that killua will definitely pass if he takes the exam again...ough

gon is SO GOOD i cant get over it !!!!!!!!! AUGHHHH....recusing killua from his abusive family and making it so killua never has to see them again is like...so good. what a good good perfect boy.

also thats like, the perfect response to this. killing illumi would just start a ton of drama, and killua would be conflicted abt that....but removing killua from his situation is perfect 

ok ive ranted a lot ill talk abt the rest later woohoo

PREDICTIONS: 

i predict that hisoka will show up in this upcoming zoldyk arc somewhere bc illumis gonna be in it (i assume) and theyre dating. also hisoka is a central character so itd make sense for him to show up in the second major arc. tho tbh this could end up being completely false and i wouldnt be that shocked lmao

i think leorio is gonna get Big Sad someday bc hes like, so normal compared to the other MCs, and also hes suuuuch a bleeding heart (i love him....) so i feel like thats gonna lead to some sadness for him once his friends start doing crazy shit or w/e 

also i predict that if he gets nen itll be like healing nen or st. does that even exist??? idk jack shit abt nen lmao 

i think that illumi has hypnosis powers or something, even just based on design alone. it could defs be for aesthetic (character design in hxh is wild), but his eyes look noticeably different from any other characters. also he was doing some freaky shit to killua. also i held this prediction before seeing the part where this is brought up so we’ll see if its right lmao 

as for this upcoming arc -  ruth and i are wondering if itll be similar to the vinsmoke drama in one piece - character goes back to abusive family, squad goes to rescue them...and then character refuses to be recused. w/sanji it was partially bc the vinsmokes threatened to kill zeff, his TRUE dad, but i predict in this case it could be more like the zoldyks saying ‘look killua these 3 weirdos showed up looking for you, convince them to leave or we’ll kill them’ and killua will be like, oh shit bc like.....think abt it. the vinsmokes targeted zeff (and not the strawhats) bc they knew they could easily kill him. same goes here, i assume - a family of trained assassins vs Good Good Fishing Rod Smell-Power Boy (who hasnt thrown a single punch yet), Lanky Dr Man With A Switchblade We Havent Seen Him Use Onscreen, and Mx 2 Wooden Sticks, Bloodlust, and Arachnophobia - 3 For 1 Deal! its a no-contest. so thats one thing i could see happening, potentially 

im way too tired to remember my other predictions rip lmao

[catboyfeli]

really hate how tumblr acts like heteros dont deserve better representation like umMmmM 99% of hetero/bi representation is shitty heteronormative bullshit :/ and tHEN theyre lke "ew why do straight girls like yaoi so much" hmmm maybe its because yaoi is the only place you can find cute soft boys since theyre nonexistent in hetero-oriented media........ many cishets find comfort in lgbt communities bc theres so much less heteronormativity!! and less judgement in general!! they shouldnt :/ be turned away :/ gay ships is what introduced me to the lgbt community and made me realize Hey Im Bisexual and if i was turned away for being straight in the past then i wouldve probably never discovered my attraction to girls lgbt WAS a group about acceptance and i genuinely think everyone who doesnt conform to heteronormativity should NOT be pushed away. i dont know if id go as far as accepting them as lgbt despite not being lgb or t, but if they find comfort in the community and get along with "queer" people and feel more connected to lgbt culture then?? who are they hurting???? nobody. lgbt culture is more than just being lgbt. lgbt culture has always been more open and accepting and against gender roles. and surprise, not all cishets conform to heteronormativity or benefit from it! i strongly dislike “queer” being in the acronym, but it’s real funny how people who call it lgbtq+ push away “queer” cishets just because they’re cishet. we all exist in this world fighting against society’s standards. why the fuck does it matter if someone’s gay or not.

cishets who face misdirected homophobia and transphobia aren’t any less mistreated than non-cishets who face homophobia and transphobia. cishets who don’t conform to heteronormativity do not benefit from it and deserve a safe space just like everyone else.

are cishets lgbt? no. but they don’t inherently benefit from -phobia and heteronormativity like y’all act like they do. they can and do face misdirected lgbtphobia. they’re not fucking evil or oppressors. the world ain’t black and white, sorry.

anyway lgbt culture should be open to everybody who’s hurt by heteronormativity, regardless of whether or not they’re lgbt. you can’t change my mind. lgbt culture is such a vast thing it’s hard to explain.

and no, this does Not include adult men who are into bdsm. that Is a heteronormative-supporting kink. but i would very much agree that cishets who don’t follow typical gender roles and heteronormativity in relationships and sex should also be included. but simply having a non-vanilla fetish is not what i’m referring to.
