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

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

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.

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

I swear why are half the things i like/fandoms im in made of mostly younger people while the other half are mostly older people? what are the zoggin odds with that?
How it feels being 20 in a fandom with a bunch of 30-40 somethings.
VS how it feels being 20 in a fandom with a bunch of 14-17 somethings.
like am do i just have extremely odd luck with things i like or is this just what being 20 is like?
