#and i’m pissed at certain things

[xx-k1tsun3-k1d-xx]

when i was a little kid (2000s era) i had this auntie and uncle, like, not blood related but they were friends of my mum so they got the title/the same respect yk? anyway sometimes we used to go over there on saturday nights so my mum could hang out and i could eat takeout and go pester the shit out of thier cool teenagers before they left for the club.

my uncle had this little closet like tiny room just off the main living area and in it was i shit you not *floor to fucking ceiling* along the walls pirated media. i acctually have no idea how they all stayed up? towers of colourful plastic cases reflecting the glow of this chunky old computer like sunlight through stained glass windows at church to my tiny mind. i loved it.

idk how he did it but this man could get fucking ANYTHING on dvd. we would ask about a movie one week and be handed it the next one it was fucking *magic*. it didn’t matter to him that ‘oh this show is only available in the US’ or ‘only on Expensive Cable Network ™️’ or the rights owners stopped showing it for whatever reason nah give uncle greg a week and you’ll get it complete with home printer quality box art and you can watch it again and again months or YEARS later.

ANYWAY this has been related to nothing and i’m sure excited to watch such seasonal classics as over the garden wall this october i sure do love streaming services :)

i am not ready to get pissed off today but can we not ruin people’s positive fandom experiences. can we not. if someone makes a post saying “i love sophie foster!!!!” can we not go to that post and immediately comment “well i don’t like her”. if someone shares a headcanon and it clashes with yours can we not go to that post and reply “well that headcanon is WRONG because HERE’S WHAT CANON SAYS”. if someone talks about a ship can we not go on that post and start ripping it to shreds. can we not. you are aware that just scrolling past without engaging is an option, right? you know you can tamp down the urge to express your negative opinion where inappropriate, right? make your own damn post!!!! can we not ruin positivity posts for the people that like/made them. can we please not. please.

Maybe I’m being a little too protective of Angela in a bit of a parasocial way at the moment but I don’t really care right now because this really pisses me off.

In the comments of the new Smosh Games people were going crazy over Angela blatantly cheating at the Meme game. I thought it was weird but also funny considering she’s ridiculously bad at cheating subtly. It obviously turned into a bit, although I understand cheating bothers some people considering here there was money involved.

But saying that Angela resorts to cheating and acting like a five year old because she has the mental capacity of a can of beans is just mean. Saying she’s a useless, unfunny child is so unnecessary. You’re allowed to be irritated by the cheating but there’s no need to be that much of a dick about it.

Also the whole video felt off. I can’t really describe it but something was weird from the beginning, with Angela especially. I won’t lie, that girl was not there in terms of being present or even making much sense. It wouldn’t surprise me if she was in real pain or she was on some pain medication that can dull your focus (I have every right to say this as a person who’s on ten different medications that all fuck with your head).

This got really long and usually I’m the last person to get involved in comment debates or to be irritated with the cast (beyond serious issues) but there’s lines to be drawn in certain situations. There are certain things you just don’t do and making fun of someone’s mental capacity for doing something stupid is one of them.

You you know what pisses me off?

The fact that eating food is like…part of survival.

I do not want to. It makes me sick. But I have to? It’s part of survival?

Me no likey

[iwritenarrativesandstuff]

when I’m feeling really irritated with people’s attitudes towards their supposed inherent morality and goodness I add yet another mean-spirited social experiment to my mental list that I would never actually commit to running in real life but love thinking about really hard when I’m in a particularly petty mood

[ri0ting]

do you ever get back in contact with someone you used to know and think to yourself “wow… they did NOT grow up…” like i hate to sound like i think i’m so much mature and grown now, but if i still thought that way, i’d feel so behind in life, maturity-wise…

I’ve made a short, tiny piece of criticism regarding fandom’s behavior of being super demanding and not engaging with the thing they demanded. But there’s something else that’s been bothering me for a while now…

This fandom feels very baby. In that way, I mean that it feels super young. So young, that certain popular people on Twitter who would have been called out for numerous counts of various flavors of poor behavior in other fandoms get strangely shared around a lot here. I don’t find much in the way of deeper analysis topics or video essays. Memes (that if I may be honest) have been used to death and beyond still get repeated— even when it’s completely unwarranted. The worse of the meme brain rot crossover with steep bigotry people tend to overwhelm and act incredibly disgusting in some corners of the fandom and on official posts.

Like with any thing or community or what have you, there’s people who seek engagement bait and spread negativity. I’m surprised at how successful it can be to do that in this fandom on Twitter. It creates such a rotten atmosphere. All in all, a lot of these things have been pushing me away from the community even though I only joined into this series in 2021. It feels like some kind of tide turned for the worse.

Yes, this fandom is in fact relatively new in a way. It’s existed for almost two decades but exploded some years ago with a continued high stream of sudden growth. But there are certain things that I’m still astonished by.

[kavehater]

Guys what does non sharing self shipper mean bc surely that doesn’t mean you’re 100% gatekeeping the chara if you’re consuming content others made ?? Like ;; bc if you gatekeeping said character, that means you gotta acknowledge the fact others thought of that chara in those situations yk ?

Like idk what I am, but I’m very very very particular abt my characterisation of kaveh. The only Kaveh I like is canon kaveh. And canon kaveh is the same kaveh in my head even tho obviously I extend his character a fair bunch in my mind. Obvi,, cause nobody gets him like I do fellas 😞 and I say this with so much faith cause istg nobody does 😓 it kinda makes me a tad annoyed if I do see someone claiming that he’s their fave BUT NOT FOR THE REASON YOU THINK OK ! it’s bc ppl ALWAYS mischaracterise him.

it’s SO annoying I swear … like UGH I just had to have the character I like sm be a fan favourite who gets his image dragged to smithereens to the point he’s irrecognisable …

like do NAWT play with me — Kaveh ain’t no twink 😭 he’s also not a damsel in distress … HE ALSO ISNT PAYING RENT BY DOING THE NASTY WITH ALHAITHAM FUCK YOU ALL 😭 and he doesn’t do shit with alhaitham argue with the wall and fuck you again for good measure.

And I swear if I hear someone say he’s dumb … I’m in your walls. I’m in your ceilings. And I’m gonna hocus pocus you to last century where the existence of Kaveh never was. So stfu before I do black magic on your sorry ass 😭

[mer-se]

please pick friends u can argue or have misunderstandings with and actually communicate with immediately after like, it’s so fucking important

[itspileofgoodthings]

see i have all these spicy takes in the drafts that i don’t post out of self-restraint but then i see a spicy take that i hate SO MUCH and then i want to post mine out of revenge. it’s a terrible cycle tbh.

Some people have aggressively stupid takes on censorship, fictional content, kink…. But then also in irl sex and relationships, too, and it’s exhausting. If you are a grown adult wringing your hands about how you could never date anyone two years younger than you or getting your panties in a twist over regular safe consenting sex practices/acting like safe and consensual k.ink is inherently abusive…. Then your brain has been so thoroughly rotted by online puritan discourse and you need to get off of twitter and experience the real world. Genuinely. Hope this helps.

[freckleslikestars]

Genuinely don’t understand people going ‘I like this character but they’ve done a bad thing so now I don’t like them’

Like. What? You want your favourites to be perfect and unblemished? What’s interesting about that?! What’s compelling about that?!

Also just. People don’t work like that. People do bad things and they have ulterior motives and they make mistakes and 9 times out of 10 that’s okay because most people aren’t good or evil, they’re just people. They’re just existing and trying to survive and nobody’s perfect. And to see fictional characters allowed to make those same mistakes is both fascinatingly beautiful and a reminder that it’s okay to fuck up.

Ngl, I’m not entirely sure where the “Miguel and Hobie hate each other” reading comes from, when from their like. One interaction i don’t personally get the impression they think much about each other at all shdhdjfjf

Miguel seems kind of exasperated with Hobie sure, but the tone of that interaction is relatively lighthearted. It’s more of a joke that by virtue of Miguel being a stringent rule follower, Hobie not caring overly much about those rules exasperates him. And Hobie knows it annoys Miguel and thinks that’s funny, thus prodding him again with the “I’m not even here/nah still here” routine. But there doesn’t seem to be like, genuine personal anger on either side. Just an ideological divide that actualises even further when Miles’ very existence provides another answer to the overhanging stakes.

[dennistakesamentalhealthday]

not going to write out the essay forming in my head but it’s so crazy to me like i know my vision of dennis is not universal and is mostly influenced by me thinking it’s fun to woobify him with fellow tumblrinas but it’s like…..how are people watching the whole show and thinking he is actually cold hearted angry and calculated and a genius potentially a secret serial killer and that this extends to his relationship with the gang…like idk it’s just funny to me…..there is so much in the show that goes against that

HOOO my brother just touched a nerve
