Found out another simblr I have no memory of directly interacting with, blocked me. It must be my silly disease. They must hate me for all my silly swag 😔
#puffer talks#im not offended i laughef#its so inherently funny#to click a link frkm someone elses posts to check out their blog nicely#and to find out you are in fact blocked#its like waving at someone and they just put their purse in front of their face to hide#WHAT I DO??? TOO SILLY#honestly probably because they're friends with someone ive publicly disagreed with (😐)#which like fair#IT'S FUNNY STILL THOUGH!!!!

All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.
#text#fandom#aro#ace#aroace#aromantic#asexual#this became extremely obvious with Encanto - where the main message of the movie was ignored#and people were so desperate for shipping they started shipping background characters or even the family members....eugh#like at some point you must understand your inability to interact with media outside of a narrow romantic scope is an actual problem#at some point you need to accept you don't ACTUALLY like the media you're interacting with#like genuinely can you say anything else that you like about a piece of media besides the fact you want two characters to kiss?#genuinely i do believe the way some of you interact with things needs to change because it's made fandom spaces literally unbearable#also it has severely limited some of your guy's critical thinking skills#if you want content based around shipping then look at the romance genre it's literally right there for this very reason#shipping just needs to stop dominating fandom discussions and interactions. shipping should not be the main focus of every genre ever ffs#that or y'all need to literally start tagging your shit so that people can actually block it out and find the posts that they want to see

POV: you block antisemites on this site
#jumblr#meme#personal thoughts tag#actually new guessing game!#did i block them because: they are rabidly transphobic; antisemitic; misogynistic; or Actual N@zis? find out next time!#i really wish you had the chance to unhide comments in the same way you can still view blogs you have blocked#i just think this is funny becuase i've really only been blocking people who are vitriolically opposed to the fact that i am breathing#thank g-d there are pockets on this site where i don't need to be On Edge every time i see a new blog though

new Wednesday headcanon unlocked: she's a total troll and probably has a secret cell phone & twitter account squirreled away somewhere.
How else would you explain that the same Wednesday who “refuses to be a slave to technology” and “doesn't have a phone” also knows, within hours of meeting, about the bad punctuation and grammar of Enid’s vlog, other than having watched it herself? Also, she says that Enid’s followers are “clearly imbeciles” who respond to Enid’s stories with “insipid little pictures” — which you would only find out about by stalking the comments.
And how else could Wednesday look at Enid and immediately have “the following emojis come to mind: rope, shovel, hole”? Wednesday has to know that these are options in the emoji-catalog, which even I wouldn't have been able to tell you off the top of my head.
TLDR: Wednesday's got us all fooled. Prove me wrong :D
Bonus: “if you're going to gossip about me, at least spell my name correctly.” Are these professional gossiping-standards you want to uphold there, Wednesday? Hm?
#wednesday#wednesday addams#wednesday hcs#wenclair#wednesday x enid#you don't absorb this kind knowledge just by co-existing with other teenagers in a high school do you?#and the fact that she uses enid's laptop to facetime tyler just confirms that for me#why would she give out her own number if enid's is right there?#oh and this is tagged wenclair because you know enid is going to find out#sooner or later#and she'll have a field day with it#especially the twitter account#i admit there's nothing to back me up there#but i imagine wednesday will immensely enjoy the ever-burning hellscape of that site#also these quotes are all from the first episode#i tried to get screen caps but i am literally unable to#netflix keeps blocking me no matter what i try :(#how do you all get the material for your gifs etc??#teach me your magic ways#but i found this gif instead that's also nice#thanks!#and once again my tags are longer than the post#oops my bad#do with this headcanon what you will#and i'd love to hear your opinions!#i may be seeing things by now#because i'm procrastinating writing my fic by watching it again for the 3rd time#and a lot of my fic-canon has mixed with the actual canon for me oops#e.g. the twitter account. we will be seeing that one again ^^

Hey y'all, I am blanking on a word so hard I am even blanking on the words to describe that word What's the term for like...groups of colors? color palettes but more specific? I'm looking for the generic term, but the specific words that are versions of that generic I can think of are things like earth tones, jewel tones, pastels, and maybe brights/neons I'm trying to figure out other categories like those but I cannot figure out what the word is to search
#crowd sourcing brain function because mine is not working#what is that called????? there has to be a like overarching category name for those#normally when I forget a word I can work around it in a way that makes it easier to come up with the word#when I was little I read a book that mentioned every piece of data in your mind has a pathway to get to it#and if you only have one connection to that data point when the path breaks you lose it#but if you have multiple paths to get there you can lose one path and still be able to find the data#(like I could remember shark facts by thinking about carnivores or weird teeth or shark jaws or non-human sensory perceptions)#idk if that is true??? but it was like. formative to me as a small child#so I deliberately made multiple associations to anything I learned from that point on#to the point where it kind of became second nature#which is good for me now that my brain is uhhhh not operating full speed#because I can work around a mental block (usually) and come up with the word#but I cannot remember this one!!! and it's frustrating! I'm just spinning through loose associations trying to find one that connects#my brain is a mush of half remembered art terms at the moment and I am getting no closer to figuring it out lol

We ought to write more Pokemon fic some time. We want to recreate the Pokemon Manners/Human Manners cheat sheet that we made a few years ago we think that this site would like the Sliding Scale Of Politeness When Greeting A New Pokemon You've Never Met Before.
#we speak#writing#we grew up with pmd games and we feel like the way that pmd pokemon's dialogue tends to be excessively... direct?#should be a feature and not a bug when any pokemon that you meet might be totally unfamiliar with your species and biology#it's probably very polite to start up front with some basic facts about yourself so they know how to act going forward#the very upfront feel to dialogue also very much helps with keeping the dialogue feel more... pokemon#people mock the series for weird npc dialogue a lot but we think that taking these things literally makes for more fun society building#it doesn't all have to fit with socially acceptable for our world we think. polite in our world isn't even consistent by household.#sometimes a polite interaction sounds like “hello! i'm poochyena! i like to chase people and bite!”#name and immediately socially useful information. now you know about the chasing people and biting so you don't assume it's rude#of course poochyena bites and chases people. it likes to do that. you can say you don't like that and it might stop doing that to You#but it will not stop biting and chasing people because that's what it likes to do and it will probably only befriend people okay with that#it makes a very specific dialogue feel that's very fun to do. we like how the pokemon world tends to treat any sort of like#disability or “weird” things as something that you just say out the gate and everyones like “oh okay”#and then treat that as Part Of Interactions going forwards. there are a surprising amount of parts of the pokemon manga#that are dedicated to working around a character's disability after one or all of their means of dealing with it get taken out#admittedly we aren't that caught up on newer content but we find the way that it tends to be just Accepted as very refreshing#making the dialogue this direct does also tend to make it read as more “childish” in english and particular because a lot of Maturity's jus#learning how to dance around what you're saying or phrase it in different ways to get your idea across differently#whereas here everything is just as direct as possible. “i don't like charmander”. “i like roasting berries”. “i want to dig things up”.#all pokemon dialogue tends to go towards being exceedingly simple and it makes for some very distinct writing#especially when you have to tackle complex situations with characters who probably dont employ that sort of vocabulary#though we personally enjoy doing this sort of stuff your mileage may vary ofc#we are biased towards this sort of thins because we find it MUCH more fun to build up what we're talking about from blocks#than to like. try and use more indirect wording that may lose things in translation#unfortunately this is not fun in irl conversation. everyone has to be on the same page and you need to use the same playbook to communicate#we REALLY wish people said what they meant though. we're really tired of being asked shit like “is this accessible”#when what they mean is “can you climb these stairs” a question which depends on the day our energy level and how things have been going#there are a lot of things we could say that would make us feel like some sort of anti sjw type guy and a lot of em boil down to just#"for the love of god dont dance around a Sensitive Topic just get to the point and ask us about it this just makes things harder for everyo

i wanna write lore about my characters but i am in the eternal struggle of how do i start
#the pain of wanting to talk about ocs but not what to say#s o b#forget art block how do i deal with oc block#id call it writing block but i always have that lol#vibrates#i wanna talk about my idiots#like the corpse trade in london#especially since depending on what youre reading on site people come back to their bodies or they dont#its not super consistant#like i know darcy wouldnt care but others WOULD depending on if you come back ot your original body#which i think is true???#idk man its super unclear#but its super morally dubious and I KNOW det doe isnt cool with it at all think of the FIGHTS#couples arguments but make them about philosophy and the fact that youre both actually diametrically opposed to things and you cant always#have a healthy work life balance between the two of you#because even if it works most of the time darcy is going to end up working on someone his husband thinks deserves better#especially if he finds out about the burking darcy did on the surface#cutting out the middleman as it were#and cutting the middleman#anyway i wanna talk about ocs help

trying to figure out whether the emoji combination in sb bio means they’re a proshipper, like x ship, are autistic or js like the emoji combination is going to kill me one day
#finding an artist that makes good art then having to check whether the emoji combination in their bio means the bad thing you block ppl for#this is why I hate twitter and tiktok#no way to find out easily if they have posted stuff w x tag#and ppl are allergic to being direct#I cannot have to scroll through three years of art to find out that you in fact ship ka*luc so I can fucking avoid following#which again vague emoji combos are so annoying#like obv the thing that comes to mind w ice and fire emoji is gonna be ka*luc but also could’ve been smth else#yk praying it was wrioluc or sum#but noo#bullshitting

#if I've made anyone uncomfortable with the things I've been posting the last few days that was in fact the point and fully intended#and I don't say that to be cruel but simply to drive home the point that fandom spaces can be both safe and hostile at the same time#it is a deeply uncomfortable thing to acknowledge and I know most people do no want to deal with that and I understand that truly#but it was important to me to acknowledge and to give my opinion so that's what I did#At the same time none of this changes my opinion on my ship or the fact that I love a certain character other people find problematic#and I am fine with people finding that problematic because I am human being I am problematic by default#and I am confident enough in myself as a person to know when to acknowledge when I've contributed to problematic behavior#and realize the world doesn't end when this happens#my opinion of the fandom I've made my home in hasn't changed either#I had these views before and now they're out there in the open messy wording and all#and if you've decided that changes your opinion of me for the worse that's fine you can unfollow block etc#I understand that even in my attempt to acknowledge hurt within my fandom I've probably hurt other people and I have made my peace with it#but for everyone else that's shown me support both on tumblr and in private#for everyone that's listened to me vent about this subject over DMs and validated my hurt feelings#instead of trying to press your own discomforts onto me to carry in addition to my own#thank you#I've carved a permanent space in my heart for you and I truly mean that#I waded into this mess fully expecting to be ignored at best and to lose connections at worst and I was fully okay with it#but the love I've gotten and the deep honest and vulnerable conversations I've had over the last few days has truly been astounding to me#this last part is taking me AGES to write#because I'm actually crying thinking about all the good that's come out of this#and I acknowledge that's not a universal opinion and that's fine I'm really only speaking to my personal experience with what's happened#which despite outward appearances has been incredibly cathartic and uplifting for me#and I don't need everyone in the fandom to share my views or validate me or tell me I'm right people are allowed to disagree#I also don't need to have a deep personal and honest connection with everyone in the fandom where I can share my deepest vulnerabilities#but the fact that I could have that connection with some of you? that's enough for me. it's everything to me.

"If you ship these characters together at all you've fundamentally misunderstood the plot of the story"
Bro I get this if like. It's a case where people genuinely are misunderstanding the story
But like bro you know shipping is inherently neutral and doesn't necessarily tell you anything about how someone interprets a piece of media, right?
You know that people who ship something don't always want the thing to be canon, right?
You know that people shipping something doesn't change canon
Right?
#Also as someone who is very very acquainted with the feeling of people interpreting a piece of media violently wrong AND saying that two#characters not only should or are basically canon‚ even in cases when it just straight up is a misunderstanding to say that it could#canonically happen#You have got to try to make peace with the fact that this will happen#Even in a fandom where you agree with 99 out of 100 people there will be one person out there who interprets the thing wildly wrong and#confidently asserts they're right#And from experience the best way to deal with this is by posting your interpretation out there and finding some likeminded folks‚ actively#try not to go out of your way to antagonize or be condescending to the people you disagree with (in this case interacting with them or‚#tagging posts so they will see it)‚ and just block the people#You will never be free from ships you don't like or people who “have bad taste'' but making a post just to paint an entire ship as#inherently awful is not the way to handle it#anyways you shall be receiving no context for this post other than tumblr showing me discourse outside of my hyperfixation circle#And me enjoying an analysis post I saw only for it to lead up to an unnecessary 'X shippers die and have bad media literacy' as a punchline#fandom wank#i just be ramblin

Ah, for the people who have blocked me bc I am simply (and reasonably) asking for proof of the validity of wildly circulated misinformation based on nothing but hearsay that is actively damaging hurricane relief efforts, and stirring even greater division among our fellow citizens:
I sincerely hope you have done so for reasons of not discoursing on the internet with a stranger in a way that for you is detrimental to your mental health, and not bc you refuse to acknowledge and discuss the possibility that you might be wrong.
One thing is very healthy, the other is very dangerous and sad.
#if you want a conspiracy about all this go read what#historian and political journalist heather cox richardson has been writing lately#biden didnt take from fema to give to immigration funds but trump did with ssp#he was also praised by republicans for his quick response to the disaster (and i can attest personally to#previous presidents' less than stellar or quick response to at least one disaster i lived through#we didnt call it a conspiracy then we called it bureaucratic red tape)#anyways a certain historic authoritarian was also fond of flooding the public with such huge amounts of misinformation#that people became too exhausted trying to sort through the lies to find the truth and **gave up** bc they couldn't stop the mass amounts of#lies from winning#you can also see locals and pastors pleading with people to stop spreading misinformation as trying to respond to it#is exhausting their energy when they are working 12hr days trying to help people and cannot afford to fight infowars#if you want a conspiracy it's definitely there#but it's one against democracy and against truth#and i can understand why people got exhausted trying to fight against this crap even before the age of information#anyways i got blocked what if i get hatey anons next simply bc i said 'do you know the specifics of these claims?'#and my lil blog doesnt reach far these days (thank heaven)#but i still have not had a single person supply actual evidence#just more of the same baseless claims made by media influencers who have something to gain#and they sprinkle in just enough truth (my family member's house flooded and neighbors helped them)#that the big lie (therefore the government is doing nothing and hates citizens) gets embraced wholeheartedly#literally the facts are there for anyone to look at#(or the lack of evidence of wrongdoing in this case)#like i don't love our government but whatever happened to innocent until proven guiltym#why find out that your opponent may not have done you dirty for once#when instead you can presuppose their guilt and lynchmob any dissenters for free#i love humans as individuals#i am terrified of humans in large groups who get angry bc someone told them something that fit their suspicions#(suspicions which have also been fed for years by massive heaping webs of lies#and often by foreign parties who would love to see american democracy crash and burn)#i wish i knew who to aim this rant at

#what i wanted to do today was watch game 3 of the 2014 finals#but i couldn't find it on you tube and as we all know it's not on league pass#so i ended up just spending some more time on across the time line#here's a fun fact i learned: Stephanie white got one technical foul in her career as a player and it was in the first game she ever played#meanwhile dt fouled out in her first game while still putting up like 22 points and 3 blocks 3 assists and 3 reb#shooting 53% from the field 7/13 and 3/6 from 3#and went 22-26-22 in the first 3 games of her career#a damn shame league pass doesn't have any of those available#and then i spent some time looking at scoring records#and here's the thing i respect the *ja one because it can stand without asterisks#but you know i was doing some math and looking at some things#it is so impressive that total points and points per game were not touched until 2023 and 2024 respectively#records that were set in 2006!#i have other thoughts about mvp stuff that i am not going to share rn bc i would prefer that they not be taken in the context of this seaso

If shippers are making you this pissed off, you need to stop interacting with them instead of being so fucking negative.
And if seeing negativity makes you pissed off enough to anonymously (lmao) send me a message about it, you need to adjust your filters accordingly to avoid posts that are specifically tagged as anti from blogs that have anti right in the name 🤷♀️
#and I don’t interact with them#I have the ship tags blocked on here but half of the time y’all don’t even have the tumblr etiquette to tag your ships#and there’s not really any way to avoid stuff like that on Twitter aside from blocking everyone that posts shipping stuff (which I do)#and as I a rule I don’t get pissed off about fictional stuff in my real life#this is a hobby#these websites are for consuming and discussing media for entertainment#and sometimes that includes being critical of parts of media#and if you’re one of those fans that’s so childish that you can’t handle anyone ever being negative about the Thing you like#well then#maybe find a children’s version of this app? idk what to tell you#anons like you annoy the hell out of me#and the fact that you’re such a scaredy ass weirdo that you do it on anon? lol#lord have mercy#anon#fandom wank#anti lokius#anti sylki#antisylki#loki series negativity#loki

Theyre going to think I like canon and purely canon if I keep going on like this
#i. despite my many complaints. do enjoy comics. and going into the Comic Reading Fandom#there is a shocking amount of people who are purely in the fandom but have never interacted with the source#while i do believe its fine to dabble in something you haven't seen the source for yet but plan to#being a creating active presence in fandom for something youre not a fan of. just doesn't sit with me#its just a bit baffling. to be a fan of the fandom amd never touch the canon#like lifelong christians who attend every service and judge others based on gods word. who have never even read the full bible.#its just all the pastors word and stories n verses they grew up with#thats exactly how i see it I fear#fanon dynamics and tropes heavily overwhelm the canon. and i tend to prefer the canon. so it gets frustrating#not to mention how many popular ones completely flip characters. reinforce stereotypes. have even more confusing timelines. etc#its like the online fan equivalent of years of domestication and breeding that turned wolves to pugs#not that extreme but you get me#i mess with canon. i like to get silly with it. i like to fuck around#plenty of things i dont like i Will ignore or rewrite! or make an au where i can do whatever on earth i want#i dont respect canon or think its the end all be all and if you step one foot out of line of canon ill maul you like an angry dog#its just like! maybe read the one singular comic issue youre about base your entire interpretation on the fanon version of#this is ending in just me complaining about titans tower yeah. sorry. its the prime example i fear#but at least its easy to filter out#man! if i just had a way to filter things out better..#sometimes it reaches the point where i consider just blocking the entire tim tag. sorry tim#i Will uplift the community i desire instead of focusing on my hatred and complaining!!#i just need to get out of art block and find cool blogs to follow that Get Me to help me out first!!#unfortunately i have a really weird complex about following people especially if they followed me first!!!#not sure what thats about!!#but ill get to the other things!!!#i am also just a complainer though !#and i get into arguments alot without realizing it because i love noting every detail and correcting people!!#i tried to put every william mention and appearance from tse in a google doc. and with ralpho. thsoe got much easier when i got#digital copies of the fnaf books. but what im saying is i LOVE having all the facts n details abt my blorbos. esp in over detailed notes.fu#havijg all the references on hand! and sharing my precious beautiful knowledge. carefully noted bc my poor memory. very delightful. fun!
