just got a dm abt one of my posts and y'all please don't try and show the hermits (or any minecraft youtuber or content creator for that matter) my posts, i'm uncomfortable with it and don't want any of my posts shown to a cc. if they stumble upon it naturally that's unfortunate but i can live with it since i do maintag a lot (something i REALLY need to stop doing tbh i already know i need to make a tagging system just for my blog that wont clog results) but going out of ur way to show a cc is entirely different and something i am not comfortable with.
no hate to the person at all but even if i wasn't a little silly and weird with it sometimes i wouldn't be comfortable with it, i want my blog to be a purely fandom only space with none of the creators involved <3 please respect this
#which is imo how a fandom space should be#i'm old fashioned and it breaks the fandom etiquette rules i stand by#i ship and stuff and absolutely NO cc needs to be subjected to that please and thank you even if it's a non-ship post#not saying hermits and others cant hang out and interact if they wish hell no but like....#if you as any person with a following willingly go into a fandom space you have to expect to see some things you find weird#doesn't even necessarily mean ship just stuff the cc finds weird :v idk im not phrasing this right but like#the rule with shipping around any sort of media has been to keep it away and not show the creators anything !!! and thats fallen out#of practice the past few years with ppl getting more and more comfortable demanding boundaries and personal info from creators#which isn't right imo bc its like you're trying to see how much you can get away with. u want a guide on how to interact and social skills#which is... huh??? just be polite and keep anything weird away from them like what we were doing#some folks nowadays need “permission” to ship stuff even from SHOWS and shit with no real people and its like wow... huh....#u need it to be canon?? u need everything told to u by the show?? wheres the imagination. the spirit.#the making of everything so far removed from what it once was#like that guy that played nick from heartstopper that had to be outed to play a gay guy. like#idk im so sick of the boundary fandom ppl in mcyt 'what if they saw and made it uncomfortable!! im going to show them!!!!'#you are making them MUCH more uncomfortable than i am by GOING INTO THEIR FACE AND DEMANDING THEY LOOK AT IT!!#AND DEMANDING BOUNDARIES N SHIT... CRAZY.... idk the hermits especially its weird to me bc clearly they understand fandom etiquette#and the dynamic im talking about. most of them understand that by going into fandom spaces they will see things they dont like#which is why a lot of them only like fanart and answer questions asked by fans. even on tumblr !!! where the weird ppl are!!!#they also all seem to understand they are playing characters (citing joel cleo and grian as examples) for their audiences#which is. smth the audience itself doesnt understand most of the time anymore. oh my god they all died in real life in hermitcraft season 8#idk hermitblr used to be a lot more okay with hermitshipping n then a bunch of ppl from other fandoms moved in and its all more negative#and makes me sad. idk...#i never meant for this blog to gain almost 500 followers i just wanted to make silly little ship posts and now im scared to#bc ive gotten hate and its.... bwugh.... tempted to remake blogs and make one thats very clearly just for me and a few weirdos#whatever i went off on a tangent in the tags as usual just pls dont show creators my posts even non-ship ones for this reason#jamies bad posts#talking in tags#serious posts#<- ig??? idk

My headcanon for bi Hunter is he is very much leaning towards girls but he knows he's bi because back when he was reading Rulers Reach a few months ago, there happened to be one character written by Luz that King approved of because he was edgy and cool enough (although King did cut out all of his pointless romance bullshit) so he managed to survive the final draft. It was a recycled version of this guy.
Anyway everytime he appeared in a chapter Hunter was like "ok. OK. hm. HM. OK!!!!!" He was very normal about it.
The only person he's told about this is Luz during one of their bi-weekly "laying on the kitchen floor at 3am talking about stupid shit" sessions. And Luz, who has grown out of her fixation with edgelord YA love interests just asks "Really? Really?" And Hunter is immediately spluttering like "j-just just just hear me out he's actually-shut up shut up stop smiling right now Luz I said shut up jUST HEAR ME OUT!!!!!"
#he eventually told willow after they started dating#they were sharing their cringe. she told him about her ladybug fear. so he felt like he owed her something silly in return#it is literally ten years later and willow will be like: yes my boyfriend is bi. he also has a boyfriend.#hunter who is now 26 and has developed critical thinking skills and whose favourite book is not an 8 yr old's edgelord fanfic anymore:#LET IT DIE!!! JUST LET IT DIE!!!!

Hey just wanted to check sm… was it normal for yall to introduce yourself to other kids by shaking their hand and attempting to do Adult Small Talk with them? Like is that a normal kid thing to do? Or was I just weird?
#by kid I mean ages from like… 8/9 to 12 years old#and by small talk I mean… like yk boring banal small talk#additionally I used to ask certain kids to teach me how to do something (play basketball or whatever)#bc I figured it would make them feel like they were an expert in something and hence give them an ego boost#which—bc they felt good abt themselves—they’d feel more inclined to be nice to me#and therefore I’d trick them into friendship by asking them to display their incredible skills at leapfrog or whatever#idk. was this normal for a child?#neurodivergent

I haven't posted about Avatar in a *hot* minute, but, I have been infected with the hyperfixation again and the incessant urge to just hit Spider with the projection/trauma stick is driving me feral.
I just want to give him a shit ton of issues man. I want to make my sweet baby boy baby miserable. I love him so I have to make his life as hard as possible.
like making him absolutely unwell and giving him a list of chronic illness/disabilities (on top of the ones he already has from being human on Pandora) wouldn't fix me, but it'd do something that'd make my brain feel a little less implode-y 🤷🏻
Edit: small disclaimer for anyone who doesn't know me, I am disabled, hence why I said projection, I just feel like I should mention that, or the tone of this post feels a little uncomfy
#I think spider has earned some chronic pain#and tummy problems#and migraines#and insomnia#and a fucked immune system (cause I think living amongst Aliens and having little to no exposure to a large germ/people pool to form-#immunity from and then being forcibly dragged from his little bubble to Bridgehead and then out with the recoms and then to the SeaDragon-#through the tainui villages and then finally the metkayina village. I just *know* his immune system is one sniffle away from crapping out)#and like. he was tortured. with a brain machine. so he can have a hand tremor and absence seizures or something.#and light sensitivity. he can have that too.#and he's probably super dissociative and/or maladaptive to cope (both is good. both is very good)#and give him a rolled ankle thats like 8 years old that he never let properly heal and just acts up constantly#and nasty scars from tending his own wounds as a kid#and give him a complex with hygiene from being neglected as a kid and constantly feeling dirty but literally not knowing how to make-#himself feel clean cause no one taught him basic life skills#also. give him autism. just cause.#all on top of his massive guilt complex that makes him feel like his unworthy of life/feel like a monster 25/8#just for funsies#y'know you in a *great* place when you do this to your favorite little guys 😃🤗🫶👍#(this may be a cry for help)#(I think the scariest part is that these aren't even all my ideas. just my favorites)#spider socorro#miles spider socorro#miles socorro#avatar#atwow#I love how this is my first post back into this fandom. it says greta things about me

"Uhhh violence never the answer it's childish to start fights" it's also childish to refuse any and all criticism and expect everyone around you to bend over backwards to accommodate your every fucking whim and never do the same in return. If YOU make YOURSELF impossible to have a mature conversation with, people are going to stop trying.
#also again her and grandma's negligence resulted in my dad getting mauled by HER dog but we don’t get to be mad about that? fuck off#your dog is going to be euthanized. this will happen again with the wrong fucking person and they will press charges and your dog will die.#and I know for a FACT if either of our dogs had done anything even close to what hers did she would have flipped her shit#and now because she can't handle the bare minimum responsibilities of a dog owner our dogs are traumatized.#dad got hurt trying to separate her dog from Ghost(our aussie) bc he has no socialization skills and wouldn't leave Ghost tf alone#and then a day after THAT Ghost attacked Elphie (our corgi) bit her head and flipped her on her back. drew blood.#so because my aunt refuses to train her fucking dog now Ghost is triggered by the dog he has lived with his entire life#and has never EVER had issues with her! he has some excitability issues but he has NEVER been aggressive and has always deffered to Elphie#she's always been the one in charge. he's playful and friendly and has never instigated anything all 3 years of his life prior to this.#I am so fucking mad dog training is not just for the owner's convenience it's so your animal and other animals/people can be SAFE#they have a 2 year old and an 8 year old in that house a dog like this is a hazard. And to be clear I am not blaming the animal.#he is being neglected. they refuse to train him so they obviously can't manage his behavior so he just gets locked in his crate#which sucks for any animal but especially a year and a half old puppy who wants to play so he just sits in there and barks for fucking HOURS#it just sucks! I'm mad! He's a sweet dog but he has no self regulation skills so he's way too reactive! hes gonna bite one of the kids or a#stranger or another dog and then he won't have any chance to improve because he will be euthanized.

I just read an article which talked about important life skills just now, and it actually inspired me to write this piece because my story perfectly illustrates something. Now, I've already tried to stress in my responses to that writer who wanted to write an action piece about an autistic John Wick character last year about how people with autism struggle more in a life or death situation and it's not realistic. I've also called out the autistic community for their demonizing thoughts about the neurotypical community. Let me tell you a story about a specific program in the Netherlands and Belgium that teaches kids an important life skill which I struggled with as a kid because I was disabled and how learning how to be like neurotypicals actually DOES improve our lives. As a kid I struggled with things requiring motor skills to the point I had to take physio therapy classes for basic P.E things like throwing and catching a ball. With the way some people in the autistic community make trying to be taught anything regarding our disability to be like neurotypicals a bad thing, I should have just embraced that I was incredibly bad at these things. Not only is that dumb, but it literally was my hurdle in that life skill class. You see, in the Netherlands and Belgium, because we have a lot of water and are susceptible to floods, we have swimming classes, and these don't just teach you forms of swimming. Nope. These swimming classes have three levels, with a certificate and an exam class for each. A. This level teaches you basic swimming skills, the forms, how to stay afloat, how to swim with your clothes on and how to dive a couple of meters. The three last things I mentioned, are all to prepare a kid what to do if the area got flooded. B. This is mostly the same as your A level, but the meter distance for diving is way bigger. A level basically teaches you how to get out of a building if you are near the exit and level B prepares you how to get out if you are nowhere near an exit and need to hold your breath way longer. Ever heard of those swimmers who give shows dressed up as a mermaid? That's Level B stuff over here. C. This is the most advanced of all the levels and teaches you basic lifeguarding skills so you can also save other people and not just yourself. In the Netherlands, they have become slightly less accesible and funded because the last big flood was in the 50s. However, Dutch parents typically still have at least a certificate of an A level and still push their kids to take swimming classes. It's because of Dutch parents still valueing swimming classes, that there are actually higher percentages of immigrants drowning during the summer season opposed to ethnic Dutch. Because they and their kids don't think it's a big deal to pursue a swimming certificate whilst the average Dutch parents had the danger of water drilled into their skulls when they were kids and that swimming is a primary life skill which they in turn teach to their kids. The Dutch southern small town I grew up in, was actually near the area of the big flood in the 50s and with my maternal family being from that area, obviously they thought it was highly important for me to at least graduate from A level. I literally spent more then twice as long as the other kids getting my A level because I am disabled. But in the end, I did accomplished and graduated from A level classes when I was 8 years old.
My mother was the only parent attending our swimming exams that actually created a banner, especially for me. She was so proud of me finally getting my A level. I actually get a smile on my face whilst typing this because of how happy and proud I was too. If it wasn't growing up in a ghetto that taught me that a disabled person struggles more in life vs death situations, then swimming class certainly did. Disabilities aren't superpowers even if it makes us better at certain things. They create more danger for us in these types of situations, and I'll never stop being proud of reaching my A level. Toxic positivity and the autistic bums who see any attempt of improving their disability as 'an ableist society trying to force us to fall in line' can kiss my ass.
#tetsutalk#autism#life skills#swimming#swimming class#swimming lessons#i'm proud of my 8 year old self

managed to write 1k words for the next tpata chapter so far!! i don't really like how this chapter is looking right now, but that might be because its got less homosexual everything than the previous ones lol. sadly, there's plot to be plotted for the rest of the gayness to take place.
#tpata#ezioleo#ac2#i dont think leo will even appear in this chapter#also i feel like im really bad at writing... actual things happening lmao#like i feel very comfortable describing how something looks and how someone feels and shit#but as soon as they have to be doing stuff and things and a little etc i feel like an 8 year old writing something for my english class xd#my writing skills#where art thou when i need you

i love playing wcue and seeing people who have never read a warrior cats book in their lives say stuff "hey no fighting (as in, in character fighting), this is a kids game" or "the clan rps are so boring and i hate them. lets do a magic school or zodiac rp instead!!!!!!"
i know the game has died out and actual wc fans dont play it anymore but god its so funny but so infuriating at the same time to see stuff like this like . i dont agree with the argument of "oh they just think its a normal cat rp game!!!" bc like. the zodiac roleplays, the magic school, the royalty rp, all of those have ppl who basically just act like . people. the pl in the royalty rp are liek "grabs broom and sweeps", magic school rpers are like "grabs pencil and writes" and even jus other non clan cat rps are like "wipes eyes with hands, gets dressed, gets out of bed, etc etc" like dude. this is warrior cats roleplay. there are plenty of other roleplay games on roblox to play (COUGH COUGH ROYALE HIGH IS RIGHT FUCKING THERE COUGH COUGH) but yet. here we are.
#this isnt like a 'i hate 8 year olds on roblox who dont know any better >:(' bc like . thats fine. it is what it is#even if wc fans still played the game there'd ofc still be children#but idk its just . Infuriating#i dont expect anything from roblox of all places i dont have high expectations i just wish that game wasnt The Way It Is#like the devs fucked up yeah but boycotting it by not playing it is literally not doing shit .#its got like 2.5k active players rn and thats just bc its 2am where i am so theres probably gonna be more in the morning#you are not boycotting the game. you're al just pissy little fucks who dont understand that people can do bad things and learn from it#you take every person's genuine apology as 'well its not good enough !!!!' or 'they're INGENUINE and just wanna cover up the drama!!!'#the devs fucked up. they apologized and changed. but people still insist they're all horrible abusive rapists sexists racists etc#at this point you guys are just pulling accusations out of ur ass bc the ONLY thing ive genuinely seen from the devs was the feather thing#ive heard theyve drawn feral porn. never saw proof of it. heard they were sexist. never saw proof. heard they were all pedophiles.#again. never saw proof of ANY of this. you all take every little accusation at face value and dont have the critical thinking skills#to sit down and be like 'hey wait. maybe i SHOULDNT believe everything i read on the internet.' fucks sake.#holly meows#kasper meows

HAAAA
#mine all haunt me bc my family ridiculed me endlessly for having the reading skill of an 18-year-old but the pronunciation of an 8-year-old#(I WAS 8 they were just dicks)#this is one of the many reasons I stan the long-suffering Amy March#anyway uhhhh the fact that I used to pronounce “statuesque” as “statues queue” was a pretty silly one
