this is going to be long and rambly probably but its 3 AM where i am so here we go!
everything going on in america right now is really getting to me, and the quarentine has been getting to me for a very long while. its bad and good in some ways i guess. bad because a lot of bad habits/coping mechanism i had developed after a family member passed away (i wasnt sleeping well and i had stopped eating for a while) and good because ive been doing a lot of thinking about myself and my past or whatever.
while i dont want get into my personal irl stuff i am going to talk about stuff online because its had a lot of effect on my at this point.
so like i think the little “us vs them” of “anti vs pro-ship” (or whatever they are called because i see so many names its ridiculous and they mean different things to different people from what ive seen) but ill be using the names for simplicity sake. but as of late i find so much or whatever anybody on any “side” does to be, in  a lot of cases, to be completely unhelpful to whatever “cause” one has. tbh i pretty much hate “both sides” (tho its not really two sides its just a bunch of people/groups of people who are trying for...something idk)
its not like i disagree with everything. i think talking about racism and racist trends in fandom, how people in fandom interact with media for kids/teens, with how ~dark~ themes are talked about and stuff. i also know that there are people who don’t care about any of those things and are just out to be assholes and harrassers, or...well other shit i see on twitter mostly (my tumblr feed is much better tbh). but its all trash tbh.
but lately all of this has been getting to me more and more. like despite what being said by a lot of people i know that people dont actually care. not about like black people (women especially), or like abuse victims, or any of it. its just so gross.
idk what the point of all of this is really. its taken me like 5 hours to finish writing this whole thing (its like 830 AM now) but it think ive been legitimately trigger by all of these things or my mental states has just really gone down the tubes so much thats all of this is bothing me sooo much more than it used to.
i dont talk much on tumblr cause like who cares, right? but stuff is falling apart and like for what? i stuck in such a shitty situation its all trash.
#walkin talkin#fandom culture#//imma put the rest of this in the tags cause its not long i guess#but like this was a catalyst because like i was like tempted to find and read a nejihina fic//#for those who dont know that an incest pairing right cause like im a victim of incest right#from my cousin (like how those two are cousins) but also it didnt feel like i was a victim at the time and like i still kinda dont //#i guess ive processed it but also i didnt process it? tho idk maybe thats just how i view these kind of things//#and i was tempted cause when i was a kid/teen that was like a comfort ship cause they both came from an abusive family//#and neji trying to take his anger out on hinata cause she was an easy target and he couldnt fight the system he had been born into//#and at the time my family situation wasnt good and stressful (like a rollercoaster) so neji and hinata#coming together like that in a healing way tho they were still stuck was like a safety blanket#then i grew up and stuff got better and healthier and like wow i didnt need nejihina any more even tho i still love the characters#and i havent been like that for about 10 years because my family is healthier (i dont talk to my cousins#and i doubt they even remember what happened) so going back to that is like#for lack of a better word a relapse to a childhood/teen years looking for a comfort//#but that with everything else is trash very much trash//#im not a garbage person but i am not healthy right now//#and seeing fandom junk has been very unproductive in a lot of ways#but also its the only productive reprieve ive got atm#this is basically just a vent and whining post and im just tired of everyone#acting like stupid stupid assholes#and that like i know people dont care i know that in my soul#//sigh anyways imma go back to normal naruto and whatever else blogging#oh and boruto that show had been pretty cute ngl#its 9AM now this took me 6 hours cause i fell asleep in the middle and lost some steam//#long post
