#and my dash isn't that active

[mootmuse]

all these 'encouraging' positivity posts like 'oh you're only in your 20s so it's ok!' like what are y'all going to do when you're older than that and still fucking up? you're alive, to be alive is to do, to do is to sometimes do the wrong thing. people who've been alive longer don't just stop being complex, messy people who make complex, messy choices. that's what being a person is.

what happens when you're 30, 40, 50, 80, and you still haven't gotten where you want to be in life and you're still making calls that you regret? what happens if you STILL haven't accepted that people fuck up and might not get things that they want or that they need and there's joy and worth to be found anyway? you can't hinge your whole self worth on having potential because you won't have potential forever, and sometimes it just isn't going to turn into anything. And that's okay, because it has to be. That doesn't say anything about your worth or whether you can sometimes be happy. Being young isn't the only way to have hope and it certainly shouldn't be the thing keeping you okay with yourself. Come on.

Okay, so. I would appreciate it if folks would tag their posts on politics, please. It makes me incredibly anxious, and while I understand that this is a difficult time for people across the pond, it's starting to stress me out. I will unfollow for anything that is untagged as my RP space is somewhere where I come to get away from irl things. Escapism, adventure and whatnot. This is non-negotiable.

u don't even like the show anymore? nooo what happened

it was a collision of things. s4 was a very big disappointment for me and it was also around the time i started disagreeing with a lot of the fandom wide ideas and interpretations (coughsblindfaithcoughs).

the creator's attitude towards the shows (amongst other things) has been iffy. if you want to brag about how many listeners youre gonna lose during your next season then god help me i will make your dream a reality.

just in general the attitude towards the show on all fronts has put me off of listening to part 41. the breaking point was the john is a child take.

that isn't to say i don't care about john and arthur anymore, it's just that i'm choosing to ignore everything past part 31 (which by the way is THE best episode of the show let's be clear s4 delivered with that one)

basically i'm a suffering john stan in an environment inhospitable to john enjoyers. i won't continue listening to the show. i won't be changing my url. you could see this becoming a hoyoverse sideblog (yes i know niche fiction horror podcasts to chinese fantasy gacha games is a big leap to make but you don't even realise this used to be a mcyt and hannibal blog.)

feel free to complain about the show to me if you agree! ignore this if you like it, i'm glad it still brings you happiness!

HI ↓

are you similarly gripped by bg3 and find that it just won't leave you alone? do you mostly blog about bg3? do you have tavs and/or durges that you make up lore for and love talking about/would want to talk about them more??? LET'S FOLLOW EACH OTHER???

popular and unpopular opinions have come and gone but

another date to consider is the "russian psyop bans." in which entirely normal Black internet activists were banned. also 2018

i have some thoughts on this and regarding the conversational quality of the internet at large, but i'd like a little outside input first 💞

A video about the PJO show was recommended to me on YouTube and while I didn't watch it I did click on it to read the comments bc the title was negative about the show and I honestly felt like I was going crazy reading that reviews were so positive for the show

Like, I needed some validation

And judging by the comments, there's a segment in the video about I guess the fan base, esp on Twitter, virulently defending the show? To the extent that they are rejecting all criticism

Meanwhile not only have I seen zero vehement defense of the show but I have seen uhhhhhh zero things at all about it on my dash. Like, there was buzz building up to the show's release but once it dropped I stopped seeing ANYTHING about it. Probably bc most of the people who would be on my dash agreed with me that the show is...a kinda shit adaptation.

Anyways the moral of the story is that I'm glad I don't have Twitter

there is like good nuance to be had about the portrayal of autistic people on social media but without fail the notes of all of those posts tends to turn into AND THATS WHY I HATE TIKTOK BRATS WHO THINK THEYRE ND!! so I don't think I trust you guys to indeed "be normal about autism" actually

[austerulous]

Okay, so this is less a plotting call and more of a general interaction call. Like this to let me know you’re interested in writing, plotting, asks, comfy with me sending you aesthetics that make me think of your muse, etc. All that jazz. ♡

"#also jesus christ who was going to tell me taylor hall is a blackhawk now" He's a WHAT NOW?? 😂😅 that was a surprise

right???? i peaced out of hockey fandom like ... 8 years ago, now? and that fandom was a massively formative one for me, so a ton of my friends are friends i made there and while most of them have moved on too, a few still post hockey crumbs every now and then but no one thought to tell me that taylor hall is a chicago blackhawk now!!!!!!!!!!!

before this ask, i would have been completely willing and able to convince myself that finding that out last night had been a dream. like in WHAT UNIVERSE.

several of the rosters i glanced through yesterday did serious psychological damage to me, honestly.

the NHL is like the most unhinged scripted drama i've ever even very very sparingly been aware of.

i've been so inactive here, please forgive me y'all

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

Finally making a dent in my backlog of screenshots. I ended up with more bc of RD but... at least they're decreasing! I just tend to not want to post a bunch of them all at once while I'm playing and stuff, and then I end up with a huge backlog in my drafts (think over 50 drafts, and I've been over 70 before).

Always feels nice to empty out my drafts.

[ssaalexblake]

the activity feed glitches (among other glitches) are getting Old now, can they fic the notifs please?

[idolsummons]

okay, notifications are officially broken, please @ me in any replies from now on and I will endeavour to do the same

[grumpyfaceurn]

Feels weird to even admit that I spend considerable amounts of time on the for you page of tumblr after I've run out of dashboard to scroll through - in my defense, it has cat pictures!

Anyway in doing so I noticed that recently it started including posts from blogs I follow, which wasn't the case before. Except sometimes that will be the first time I've seen that post. Or so I think. Is tumblr hiding posts from me in the dash only for me to find them in for you? Or am I just not paying enough attention and only noticing these posts when I see them the second time around?

My toxic trait is like I mean Blink is good but I can't wrap my head around it being the highest rated episode of Doctor Who on IMDb. Top 30 fine but #1?
