#None of the Kids Were Happy

[stupidvillainousposts]

Apologies for the Semi-Late Response, I'm Currently Sick as a Dog and Very Sluggish :')

To answer the questions:

1a. Tate wasn't very happy to find out about the shift in dominance. Not because he feels Ford isn't worthy of it, but because of the process needed to cause that shift. One look at the bite marks on Stan's neck and arm was enough to rile Tate up and make him go off on Ford like a angry bull (and Ford let him because he agreed with everything Tate was saying).

1b. Before the shift, Tate and Ford were fairly amicable. They didn't talk much, and when they did talk it was mainly about weather or some other awkward topic.

2. Wendy felt the same as Tate in regards to her disdain against Ford's use of violence. She ranted about how he should and/or could have done anything else considering Ford KNOWS about Stan's weakened state. Soos started keeping distance from Ford, but didn't really say anything despite it being obvious how upset he was about the fight. Dipper and Mabel, as mentioned, are now afraid of Ford and try to stay out of his way for fear of angering him (weak werewolf pups may or may not be murdered or exiled should the pack leader find them unfit to be suitable heirs).

I miss you Lorna… this is such a mess

This is an old message and I had several other similar messages, but I miss you guys and hope you’re all doing well!! I’m sorry to see nothing has improved.

I saw I was kindly mentioned by @awesomefringey and some other commenters the other day, so just wanted to log in and say hello and log back out for a few more months. 💕

Sending so so much love to all of you. Take care of yourselves and each other, please.

The video is still on YT.

I shit you not, guys...

My 7th graders, after putting things away and working really hard today, asked why we haven't watched The Monkees in a long time. I said that I thought they didn't like them anymore (cause middle schoolers always change their opinions all the time lol) and a out the entire class were appalled that I thought that and kept saying "We wanna watch the Monkees!! Can we have Monkees Friday? Can you bring in more episodes? I wanna see Davy and Micky again" (this class' favorite). Like, it almost turned into a riot!

I showed them the show last year as a reward for having a great concert and I guess they've been hooked ever since without me even knowing lol

So I put on an episode and all of them gathered around our TV and I was going to skip the theme song to get to the episode (it was the last 5 minutes of class) and they all got so upset and said "No don't, I wanna see the theme song!" So we only saw like, maybe 3 minutes of the actual episode and when the bell ring they wanted to stay and watch more 😆

Band to Monkees pipeline lol

I was watching the pre teens today (normally I'm with the teens) and they were being fucking crazy so I asked one of them if they're like that for the normal pre teen staff or if they're just acting like that because I'm there and they said "oh yeah we are not normally this bad" so I asked the room "hey why do y'all act so much more insane for me than the other staff? what's up with that??" and one of them said "it's because we know you can handle it. the other staff give up way faster" LMFAO???

[dream-sans-mogai]

Anyway, because I'm considered a bigger creator within the mogai community and I have a responsibility to address things given my bigger audience-

Please remember that Tumblr, especially LGBT Tumblr concerning discourse and intracommunity issues, is a hyper niche, reactive, violent, sensitive community with next to zero basis in reality at large and you should not take any of its opinions as absolute fact. Especially the mogai community's opinions.

A lot of people on mogai Tumblr talk big game with very clearly fake the-whole-bus-clapped stories about the real world concerning acceptance towards mspec monos, Neopronouns and Xenogenders and it's my job as an adult and guiding voice to remind people these experiences may happen but rarely do and you absolutely should not just tell random people you use purr/purrs pronouns or your a bi gaybian or you identify as Chronosian or other things like that because it's really fucking dangerous even in hyper progressive places like new york, cali and Detroit. It can be deadly in many many small towns, including ones in progressive states. Especially dangerous in non accepting states.

I don't say this to burst your bubble or ruin your hopeful world view but many stories of acceptance are fake, even if some are true, most of the community is underage and just cause your teacher may approve of your Soniccharic identity, doesn't mean they won't tell your transphobic parents. It's scary and dangerous out here for trans and gay people rn and I won't be one of the idiots who tell you to run and frolic with your Xenogender pins Infront of increasingly hostile transphobes. I want the younger gen z trans people to survive and I won't lie to you about the reality of the battle we all are staring down concerning project 2025.

Most of the people telling these stories live in progressive states and do not tell you about the failed times or exaggerate the acceptance they supposedly received. I'm telling you from the mouth of someone who grew up in a tiny town in South Ohio with less than 1,000 people, it's still just as dangerous as it was 10 years ago. I still get followed in my home town. I still get stares in my home town. My actual home town, a place I grew up in where people knew me as the gnc dyke for a good while in my last 2 years of school. Do not spread this shit around to everyone. Nex didn't think they would become a victim, Brianna didn't think she would be one of the unlucky ones, plenty of those we've lost did not think they would die in hate crimes. I almost died in two of the hate crimes I've experienced.

You need to be really fucking careful and although I love than Neopronouns and Xenogenders are becoming more accepted by the larger LGBT community, you need to be very very VERY careful about what you do, what you wear and who you tell what because word spreads fast in suburbia and hate spreads faster. You do not want to be wearing a pin the day some white cishet magat decides he's tired of the "pedophiles" and chooses you as the first victim because you were the first he saw. Don't hide who you are but Be. Fucking. Careful.

To me, it felt like 431 was a result of Horikoshi (or Jump) going into panic mode as a response to criticism they received from the ending of the manga. Regarding the het ship not happening and also how Deku settled into being a teacher. Whether or not Horikoshi was forced into it, we’ll never know, I guess. But if they are this reactive to criticism, then maybe the new short manga that he’ll draw will address some of the backlash 431 got.

I’m not sure why you felt the need to say all this in my ask box instead of messaging me, but noted.

Just makes me think the new short manga will probably just focus more on Ochako and Izuku’s relationship since the main manga itself did not tell that story, but apparently it is a story that must be told.

ALIEN UPDATE MY GM SAID I LOOK LIKE JERMA >:(

[not-so-superheroine]

so like. at the psych treatment center, those in the ed program did exposure therapy off campus.

we went to the movies once (the idea being eating a snack at the movies. i ordered and ate movie popcorn for the first time in forever tbh). and the film the ed program collective (le patients) decided to watch was deadpool and wolverine.

the behavioral health techs were suprised that that was the one. atm, it was all young women, at the time, so maybe that was the suprise. also the violence that would potentially be a trigger for some there. the techs were thinking inside out 2. that would have been "therapeutic" ig, but deadpool 3 probably did us the most good.

but that's how i ended up watching that movie. watching a movie in a theatre was charged to my insurance. wild.

discovered miah_pie on t*ktok (<- i don’t have one btw i just stumbled upon her bc someone i follow on ig talked abt her) and her videos make me want to cry so bad. 24 year old dependent moment

[listen-to-the-inner-walrus]

one day, im gonna sit down and write a poem about how after adopting a dog who spends 80% of his time sat in my lap, ive come to appreciate how difficult it is to do things without jostling him and how id never appreciated the gentleness of the stranger who had picked me up, held me and carried me home when i tore a chunk of flesh out of my leg at age 9 when i ran into barbed wire playing hide and seek tag, and how a man i didnt know had done everything he could not to jostle me as i clung to him, and just how difficult it must have been for him not to jostle me, and how he didnt need to be that gentle or to help me at all but when he was the first adult a different child could find and ask help from, he didnt hesitate to do everything he could, and how every time im trying to do anything without jostling archie, i think of him, and how anytime some piece of media tries to tell me that computers have figured out humans can only destroy, i cant take it seriously because with nothing to gain from it, he did everything he could to help a child who was hurting.

i just dont know how the fuck to put all of those feelings into coherent words because theres just so much feeling and emotion that goes into it, and because im always more critical of my work when its more optimistic or positive and how that definitely says something all by itself, but i still dont know how to word any of it.

[yuribalisms]

Essentially what it is all boiling down to is I have fully realized I am bad at being a person, that will always be true, and I don’t know how to handle that

the way i see it there's basically no nostalgia for the internet of the 1980s-90s; at most you'd get nostalgia for the internet's portrayal in kids' media and the state of personal computer ownership in general back then. (even for the young adults on the internet at that time i don't think you'll currently find much nostalgia from their grown selves for back then.) going into the 2000s there's still no centralized source of nostalgia due to the lack of major social media sites or a pc gaming scene insofar as either of those could appeal to children- kids were using the internet by then but you'd find much less consensus on what's from that time worth being nostalgic over. that's why any media you'll see today trying to nostalgiabait for that time has either got to be a. niche as all hell or b. broad-strokes to the point of incoherency. see: analog horror is the 70s-90s and then digital horror leaps right into the end of the 00s through 2010s. (also, you can't very well make a creepy subversion of household/kids media from that time when that's what 90% of the content was anyway. look at that, someone's killing barney the dinosaur on the front page of newgrounds.) this post takes its caveats from the 20 year media/generation/throwback/whatever cycle and my age which i assure you isn't giving me much expertise on this subject
