i think one of the reasons i am so fond of nemona, carmine and kieran is because they are the characters most misinterpreted by the fandom and need someone to defend them like that one meme of the samurai and the cat. no, jared, 19, nemona is not an obsesive yandere that just thinks of battles, she's just a girl alone in a crowd of people that only see her either as a nuisance or a privileged rich girl, when all she wants is a friend as passionate as her to share her special interest. no, jared, 19, carmine is not abusive towards kieran, she's an overprotective sister that thinks his brother is too timid to defend himself, and is willing to make enemies of anyone, including her own brother, just to secure his safety and happiness. no, jared, 19, kieran is not a possessive incel (yikes???) who abuses everyone and his pokémon, he's a kid with confidence issues that's being pressured in a highly competitive environment and who has just lost the "symbol" he thought would mark his worth to a rando that's better at him in every possible way and who has betrayed his trust. this isn't me pulling at straws is what the characters say, in the game, to you, if you, jared, 19, made the smallest of efforts to learn how to fucking read-
#pokemon#pokemon sv#fuck the devil's advocate i'm my blorbos advocate-#penny gets sometimes this treatment too because she's ““a criminal””#aka “tried to face her bullies with something else rather than The Power of Love (TM)”#but i've fortunately seen less slander because her lgtb swag protects her and because let's be honest hackers are cool af#and arven has pretty boy syndrome so anything he does is going to get justified by the fandom#but i love them both too#scarlet and violet's gameplay may not be ideal and yeah it runs like you're playing it on a potato#but damn if it didn't have some of the best main characters in the whole franchise#it really knew how to make your group of friends feel like. a group of friends

multiple habs watersports prompts in 1u
#i wanna go to BED!!!!!! BUT IT'S 7PM!!!!!#fresno oilers.txt#also at work we have this college freshman who is u know very female college freshman still learning how to advocate for herself#and that she's allowed to take up space in this world. i am sure many of my people who were women in college know what i mean#and she had been doing this task for like 4 hours and i said hey has anyone checked on r lately and everyone said why would we do that#and i said. bc she has been doing a task for 4 hours and no one has seen her???#and they were like oh she knows she can takes breaks#i was like i guarantee she is too scared to do that. so i went and asked if she wanted me to get her water or a snack or anything#and she was like oh. i'm allowed to take breaks. um i'm gonna go get a snack. and she ran to the breakroom#i was like GUYS!!!!!! but then i remembered i'm the oldest by like over a decade except for some of the supervisors and the managers#so i couldn't even really get that mad bc it was like well this is just stuff you learn from being old#like no one comes out of the gate thinking huh i better check on my young coworker who doesn't know she's allowed to exist#as a human with needs such as ''snack'' or ''break''#anyway. every shift i learn something new about humanity. today a finance bro told me he had a hole in his arm#i said why do you have a hole in your arm#and he said oh i got tased. and i said why did you get tased. and he said oh me and my friends were tasing each other#and i said why did you and your friends just casually have a taser#and he said oh we found it. so we decided to try it out on each other. you get used to being tased after a couple rounds.#and the housekeeper told me to go fish beer cans out of the trash and i was so grateful to have an exit to that conversation

I genuinely cannot feel strongly for men so if I react less interested / completely disinterested when I see a guy I can’t project into it’s not me trying to make my lesbian statement I GENUINELY just *cannot* care.
#i get it how people want to see more men in gacha game with 90% women but unless he’s a character i can kin then i….#i cant bring myself to care. genuinely.#which is why i do not try to advocate to see more men in r99#i dont mind if people do but i personally want to see more women AND ENBIES HELLO…???#im not idgaf bc i hate men im idgaf bc i idgaf abt men simple as that#mochats#if we get more male characters ‘Thats Cool’ but also ‘I Dont Care. Goodbye.’#just like how irl i remove myself from the conversation whenever my girl friends talk about dudes#i need lesbian friends fuck#IM NOT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE

Jacob – Couples Therapy podcast (Hosts: Naomi Ekperigin and Andy Beckerman)
Bring a friend to a date?
Did he mean it like a throuple/threesome or did he meant "date a friend instead of starting again with your ex"?! 🤨 The hosts kinda sucked on this one. They didn't even let him explain himself 😒 I can't believe it didn't cross any of their minds to ask if he meant it like in a open relationship/polyamorous relationship way or another thing 🤦♀️
Anyway, I don’t even think jacob himself realised yet what he have going on with his bestie Sam.
And then right after, naomi says “i think we kinda know, so it’s fine” just unprovoked and him not saying anything… lol everybody got u and ur little workplace friend business
source: lovesjar
Also around 1:26:04 (i think is even for the same question/advice from the video above):
#jam reiderson#jacob anderson#the replies/quotes on the tw link are really funny like:#He is giving advices based on his own experience 😭#How do you even decipher this information properly without going to them#not beating the allegations ... im starting to believe he's trying to tell us something 👁👄👁#coworker situationship so good you dont even know what dating is like anymore#having an emotional support friend you share your romantic experiences with... accidentally advocating for ethical non-monogamy is a likely#the way they both immediately start mocking him too 😭😭

everyone who says cluster b instead of personality disorders to refer to base pd symptoms and clearly doesnt give a shit about pw hpd or aspd die in a fire forever ok
#bpd#aspd#hpd#npd#avpd#ocpd#dpd#stpd#ppd#pdnos#pdts#szpd#im tired of being nice about it#its a complicated issue and like none of us have it good but like at least people with bpd have resources#all pd groups are either only for bpd because thats the only one that exists or its only for ’cluster b’ but they just mean bpd#anytime i tell people about a pd that isnt bpd they have no fucking idea what im talking about#including people with bpd#people woth bpd shouldnt be demonized or called manipulative and need better support#but same with everyone with a pd#advocate for your peers too#learn about other pds#make friends with people who have other pds#stop using cluster labels

Casual reminder from an adoptee who's been loved by and cared for by adoptive parents since birth:
If they aren't willing to act like family to you, they're not family to you.
I think a lot of people forget that. You, likely biospawn (not adopted), still have a choice- lots of choices, actually- in the matter, and no one has an immutable right to stay in your life. If the relationship is not equal, you have no obligation to continue to serve them well. Though everyone deserves love and care, it does not have to come from you.
The goal is to have folks who want- not just tolerate having to, but WANT- to give you love and care that is fulfilling to you and who see your own love and care towards them as fulfilling. Both of these; never one without the other. And there are a whole lot of different ways that can happen, but it does happen.
#max says things tag#also this applies to more regions than just family of course#also for the record i am not advocating for dropping everyone no warning if you're unsatisfied with your whole life. chances are some of#all that can be salvaged and you communicating your needs and making it clear that you want to know others' needs is huuuge.#i'm still working on communication. i try to convey to friends that i don't want hostages i want to offer comfort and enjoyment#and my own needs. i take care of myself but loved ones want to know if they can help you! (me!)#today i had a nice emotional talk with my mom and i'm going fishing with my dad later this week. i want a healthy family and i'm going to#have one. it's Mine and i'm Keeping It.

this is a Bad party comp. G'raha is wholly encouraged by Y'shtola to stand in six overlapping AOEs and Urianger will just watch and say "alas"
#ffxiv#Frog getting mauled to death by sloths because no one present is advocating restraint and care#absolute death wish amongst my so-called friends#the fact they're just figments of your imagination makes it worse :P#Frog knows this is what would happen if they teamed up

ur heds post made me go search for the criteria and im getting really scared.... my ankles click all the time (besides the other criteria) but my docs always like oh its bc ur lazy and fat like hmmmm.. maybe not!
FOR REAL my doc says that too. it can be really hard to get diagnosed with anything related to joint pain etc when fat because doctors love blaming the first thing they see and then not ever doing any tests or straiught up ignoring test results
#its good 2 learn skills for self advocating at the doctor#if u have a thin friend with you that can back you up/be support at appts your doc will usually suddenly grow a conscience/ get polite#every 1 remember the time my doctor said that i should stop snacking and think about eating a veggie UNPROMPTED#she did not ask about my diet before assuming what she assumed. i was there for an antidepressant prescription

how do you cut someone off
#like without drifting apart gradually bc tbh i dont wanna be close friends anymore#i feel constantly misunderstood and perpetually weighed down in this person's presence#we're close friends but i dont even like her anymore#and i feel BAD about it but i just cant stand their ass! everything feels like a competition with them. everything feels miserable.#it's definitely partially my own fault bc i do a lot of comparing due to our laundry list of similarities#but it's partially their fault bc shes always adding fuel to the fire#like we can never just agree on things#and whenever i try to balance myself and stop being so competitive here she comes with her damn#need to make even more comparisons between us#also like. they cannot just shut up about how hard life is#Trust me i know! i take 3 pills daily for psychological issues. i have been since i was 18#like they always have to talk about how haaaaard having ADHD is how difficult their life is like#it's one thing to open up to your friends and vent every so often and another to make your illness your entire personality#i rant about all my issues in depth on tumblr BECAUSE i know better than to dump all that onto my friends who are already struggling#im not saying it's Trauma Dumping to talk abt ur problems but holy shit in moderation#like i dont have the mental or emotional capacity for this!!!!#that might sound really mean and god forbid extremely individualistic but it's truly because#im trying to HEAL im trying to RECOVER#and with someone constantly messaging me about their ailments and symptoms and struggles! well it makes me feel like we're both bound to be#stuck foreverrrr#also apart from that i dont enjoy their company. they used to be interesting and now they're just negative half the time if not more and#constantly playing the devils advocate for seemingly no real reason#im not perfect either in fact i can be a real asshole in friendship im aware. but this one particular friend has been pissing me off for#over a year and that has to mean something#like why now and why for this long?#if it really is a Me Problem then okay! like i fucking suck im horrible or whatever lets not be friends so that she can be happier!#idgaf anymore maybe im the bad guy but either way we're better off apart#z.post

giving men a space in feminism doesnt mean letting them step on your toes. if you feel like your toes are being stepped on, you need to say something and tell that person to stop instead of try to get them fucking exiled essentially.
#i really do truly think peoples inability to socialize and do conflict resolution is a huge part of the problem here. they jump straight to#ostracizing someone from the community bc they're essentially too scared to actually have a conversation and tell that person to stop?#they're gonna say its trauma or w/e but if its a guy you dont know whos not traumatizing you you cant really... claim that.#no. be honest. you dont know how to communicate effectively. so its easier to just have people leave than try to fix anything#the same type of person to reject going to therapy with someone to try to fix things and just kinda jumps to saying 'fuck it'#but the whole point of therapy isnt to make you guys stay together anyways- its to resolve conflicts. you might decide you're better off#w/o eachother but need to at least know the other person whole perspective first before jumping to conclusions#therapy with others also! teaches you how to resolve conflicts and communicate more effectively. so even if things dont work out#now you have tools in your belt later on if you need to work on a different relationship.#im not saying go to therapy w some random dude who might be stepping on your toes in some way but you Do need to learn#how to communicate better so you can at least tell him how you're being negatively effected w/o... trying to advocate for his ejection#and it'd be even more helpful if you have an unbiased emotionally mature friend who understands communication well nearby to help#you guys resolve your conflict... doesnt have to be a therapist specifically lol#tho a therapist or counselor or w/e is usually the best option bc they're the least likely to be biased.#unless you can find an over qualified stranger... which... how would u even know theyre over qualified then... idk sdjhfshj#if it is like a community thing maybe (hopefully. ideally) the organizer can be the unbiased party? idk.

42,000 people. 42,000 people with full lives and memories and family and a culture that is being erased. 42,000 people. My mind can’t even comprehend that number. Innocents. Infants. That’s a larger number than people who live in my city.
42,000 people are dead. Israel is committing genocide. This is an ethnic cleansing. It’s not only been going on for a year but for A HUNDRED years.
Read “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” by Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian. Learn the history. Educate yourself.
Call your representatives. Advocate for a ceasefire. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🇵🇸
#as a year since the start of a genocide that would take 42k lives has passed#I’m taking the time to read and learn more#and it’s only fueled my grief and rage#I found out someone I called a friend for over two years#is denying that this is a genocide#and reblogging Islamophobic content#And saying that Israel is ‘just defending itself.’#which is a well-documented smoke screen for a 100-year long genocide#(again do your reading)#I’m disgusted that someone who calls themself a leftist would say that#we haven’t been friends in a while cuz they were very cruel to me and ppl I care abt#but this is still totally shaking me#42k people are dead.#but they’re going around saying this isn’t a genocide#no one will see this I have no internet presence#but for the love of god please educate yourself on Israel’s actions#many innocent people live there#they are not their government#but the government is committing an ethnic cleansing#and we can’t stop talking about it and we can’t deny it#idk where I’m going w this#the Palestinian people matter#their stories matter and their culture matters#their LIVES matter#the least we can do is continue to advocate for them and learn about them#and understand the genocide committed against them#because that’s what it is#a genocide#and we should call it that
