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

im so curious how many ppl actually use lifesteal spoilers as a liveblog tag cause like. thats not what its for lmao
lifesteal spoilers as a tag exists cause lsblr became acutely aware of the fact that ccs are actually here and have accounts, that theyre not just lurkers that come here every now and then to find fanart in their tag but that they actually follow us and see our posts and even interact sometimes
what this means is that lifesteal spoilers includes liveblogging yes cause we dont want them to see those but also means that it contains thoughts and opinions that we would rather the ccs not see so if you use lifesteal spoilers as a way to catch up with streams.... well. you better be ready to see some negative shit that comes naturally with having a personal blog where you state your thoughts and opinions rather than just posting art and writing every now and then cause thats gonna happen whether you like it or not and theres nothing you can do about it
#lifesteal spoilers#mine.txt#just randomly remembered that one anon that said they blocked 90% of the devotioners in the lifesteal spoilers tag#was so busy being dramatic i forgot to point out how stupid i think it is to use lifesteal spoilers as a primary scroll tag#Do Not Do That#That Tag Is Not For You#that tag is for the ccs so they can filter it out and dont have to see spoilers and snarking#that wont stop some of them from unhiding it but that doesnt change the fact that thats what theyre for#if you wanna see that kinda thing fine theres nothing wrong with that some ppl are nosey and i get that#but if you just wanna see liveblogging then the best way to do that is to find a blog you Actually like#see if they liveblog and/or have a liveblogging tag and follow them/remember to look them up whenever theres a stream#but if you Still keep using lifesteal spoilers as a primary scroll tag despite hating half of its function?? thats kinda on you lmao

swimming <3
just add water, katie ledecky / tumblr / me / "how swimming helped an ocd writer quieten their mind," oprah daily / "how does swimming help shape my body?" plunge san diego / "simone manuel has already won," the ringer / pinterest / tumblr / aristotle and dante discver the secrets of the universe, benjamin alire sáenz / instagram / the swimmer, john cheever / me
#id in alt#image descriptions ended up being like a thousand words which is a pretty big block for a screen reader to read#lmk if it would be better to take them out of alt#ANYWAY. this is really personal as you can probably tell by the fact that im in it twice#i collected most of the quotes myself from random articles and shit i read because i Live And Breathe Swimming#crazy thing to say for someone who is scared of flip turns but anyway.#only one that i didnt just kind of find randomly was the aristotle and dante one#that screenshot has been in my camera roll since 2021 and i still havent read the book 😔#web weaving#< i need that reach bro ive spent like 45 mins doing this#should i tag 'swimming'#nah#any cool swimming mfs can find this post through me or marty idc

I'm still so unironically upset about the minecraft movie
#yeah its ugly as shit and makes a mockery of the themes of the game. yeah. anyway#what do you mean the pink sheep gets torn limb from limb and is screaming in pain.#what do you mean jack block crafted his elytra using iron#what do you mean that creepers are neutral mobs that only explode if punched#what do you mean that the end is never mentioned#what do you mean that the 2 female characters stay behind to build a house (despite ones whole motivation being finding her brother)#i actually shed tears when i learned that last one. the minecraft movie just barely passes the Bechtel test. im so upset about it#its a game ive loved for years and they get show an ounce of that love back? my favorite memories of friends and family includes minecraft.#i forced my mom to play and she got nauseous trying to focus. me and my brother would play together almost every day#i went to a sleepover and ended up staying up almost the whole night playing minecraft with her brother (she left to sleep hours before us)#i would run around the lbp inspired world for hours. i celebrated the first time i found a pink sheep#i recorded myself playing on my moms computer at 9 y/o and cheated shit in and i disnt care because i was having FUN. its still on youtube.#theres no love in that movie. and i feel like i should be able to laugh about it but i just cant#“just a kids movie isnt enough reason to release slop”#like. ok. story time.#im so tired.#minecraft#minecraft movie#im going to be forced to watch the movie by my parents soon and i hate watching movies this is gonna suck#but no... 'you like minecraft this is a minecraft movie and we never do anything as a FAMILY so we are gonna watch it!' fuck off???#like we didnt crowd into the living room to play vr games or anything... like we DO HAVE common interests. you dont gotta do this to us.#i know im being dramatic. im well aware. as someone whos been playing this game since i was 8; i think im entitled to a little drama#im aloud to be upset about a mockery of a movie that i wont even be aloud to make fun of#i know for a fact that my mom wil get mad at me if i point out the plot holes or bad cgi or complain in any way so#gotta do that here i guess.

Note to self: don't go to the r/uty server, they'll defend their homophobic staff because it stems from religion. And hey, believing gay people will go to hell is fine, they don't actually hate you personally!
#birbing#uty#negative#they were my friends too#instead they'll say it's fine just block them#they said it outside of the server and yoy dragged it out#me when I'm upset at finding out my friends believe it justified I should to hell#blehh#fucking gross#saying you hate gay people would get you banned immediately just by association but hey religious homophobia is different!#you must respect their religion!#man idc about the religion i care about the fact they use it to believe in harmful shit#left that server real quick#after crashing out and snapping at everyone#because full offense i want nothing to do with you if you don't want to act on it#“put on their glasses” i literally had their exact same beliefs. i had those glasses on and all they did was blind me#anyway left that mess and woah I feel so much better now#definitely soured my view on the uty community but at least tumblr is chill

Also wow crazy how having a class in which I am finally being forced to sit down and figure out my research is making me 200% more normal and wanting to do said research
#academia is no longer a war that i am losing at!! it is in fact a cool block of knowledge which i'm sort of vibing in a corner of#i'm sure it will at some point feel like a war i'm losing at again but did you know that defining what you're studying#and also what you're NOT studying is really liberating actually#it is fun to find out that everyone who has been telling me what i should be looking at for the last year and a half was right#but i'm just happy that i am finally managing to figure out what i am actually doing with this project#(also my advisor gave really useful comments on a paper i wrote last semester so that's probably also part of it)#anyways YAY in this house we love and support and owe our lives to grantwriting class for making us get our stuff together#perce rambles

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

genuinely dont have the energy anymore for people who arent willing to help themselves . how about instead of making 2 million excuses why you cant do something, you just do something
#i dont man . i have chronic depression and anxiety . i know what it feels like .#but im such a matter of fact and blunt person like idgaf. i’ll tell you how it is and you can take my advice or you can continue to be#miserable and pretend that youre helpless#’i hate that this guy keeps texting me asking to get back together’ stop texting him back and block him.#‘im just so lonely all the time :(‘ go make plans with your friends then. or find something to volunteer for#‘i hate sitting in bed and rotting away all day’ go outside. go read a book. delete tiktok off ur phone#like idk what u want me 2 say anymore . and to be clear ive definitely picked up this attitude from dealing with a friend for six years now#who slides in and out of relationships with increasingly creepy and older men . block them. dump him. get off dating apps. like im so done#i dont have time for this anymore im sorry. learn to help yourself#‘i dont deserve to be helped :(‘ ok and????

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

You know I have a cousin who is a trans woman who is visibly and openly trans online, and because she is my family member and I have known her all my life I think I can say on good authority that she is nothing close to a faultless person. I actually had a lot of problems with her growing up and she still often posts inappropriate and objectionable things online that perhaps make her a bigger target than just the fact that she is trans by itself. And I like know that she's quite an easy target and I see herself put herself online in ways that make me worried and concerned for the kinds of comments she gets. She has people scroll her public Facebook page and on any post, especially if it mentions being trans or queer, whether it is innocuous or not, she'll get all these laugh reacts, because Facebook transphobes are evil. But it also feels like, I just wish she'd stop posting like she does. This is not blaming her, and I know transphobes seek her out whether they at first find her saying something respectable or not. It's not fair at all. But I do very much see that she cannot resist feeding the trolls and it's just hard to fucking watch
#she goes through cycles of using and not using social media#i wish she would just use the block button like girl stop trying to justify yourself to everyone#THESE PEOPLE HATE YOU AND WILL NOT RESPECT YOU NO MATTER HOW YOU RESPOND#it's maddening to see specifically happening to a family member. it's never ok to witness#but that's not just any trans woman that's my cousin. i KNOW she has other issues to deal with#and i KNOW so much about her life and issues that i know this online hate isn't even the top of the list#but it can't be helping in fact i know it's not#these cyberbullies don't think of the ppl they attack as being human or having families at all#they don't give 2 shits about cruelty#i feel helpless to defend her#tales from diana#also sometimes she does say shit i straight up won't defend but she doesn't deserve abuse over#for instance she is actually very pro-life. which is a stance i find to be bigoted no matter who it's from#plenty of cis women i have no problem calling misogynists for wanting to outlaw abortion. it's fundamentally wrong#idk why she feels the need to speak on things like that since it does her no favors and makes her a bigger target#i mean obviously it will never affect her since she can't give birth. it is very much like stay in your lane#whether or not you have a uterus it's nobody's right to tell someone else they shouldn't have full legal possession of their own body.#there's really no need to be a transphobe about it to her. but of course they ARE#as well as any other vulnerable/personal information or opinionated stance she gives out#i feel so sorry for her

"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

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!

#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
