Kind of annoyed by the echo chamber on here when you can just go look at the numbers. I sat up all night and watched the numbers roll in.

The big shift to the red everywhere was not because more people were voting for Trump. There was a demographic shift in who voted for Trump, which is concerning. But Trump actually got LESS votes than in 2020. The problem was people did not get their ass off of their couch to go vote for Harris. The Dems got 15 MILLION less votes than in 2020, which translates to a big red shift EVERYWHERE. Those 15 million less votes didn’t go to Trump, they just didn’t show up.

Y’all didn’t show up. And I’m very frustrated that you’re blaming Latinos or the zoomers that can’t even vote yet. If you didn’t vote, you don’t have the right to whimper and complain about this.

YOU cannot blame men of colour for this. YOU cannot blame your dumbass twitter feed. You didn’t go vote at all. And you know that. Don’t you???

I want to open requests again but also, I have like zero confidence to write anything at the moment.

I dunno i keep hearing people talk about how they hate when writers do this or hate that and this headcanon is the worst, everybody dunking on something, and I keep seeing it in my stuff. I just don't have much confidence in making anything that people aren't gonna find cringe and poorly made and miserable to read. Like why would I take all of your ideas when someone else can/will just do them a million times better then I ever could without all the stuff that makes my writing annoying to read.

I'm not looking for like sympathy or anything, I just wanted to give a warning if you don't really see much writing from me for a bit.

I get my hearing aid tomorrow heheheh, wondering how much will change…

[voidheartkisses]

why am I already seeing stuff like "there's gonna be a shipping war between narilamb and goatxlamb!!1!!" which like?? no?? lets not do that. This is the chillest community I've ever been in and I trust that people won't be like that, we can all like what we like and that's it

God I am so fucking tired of the "introverts are quiet and that means they're nice, extroverts are annoying and loud" bullshit. Honestly. This mentality is one of the things that allowed me to spend the better part of two decades believing I was an introvert when I am actually an extrovert with extreme social anxiety.

Introverts generally use energy when interacting with other people.

Extroverts generally gain energy by interacting with other people.

That's it. That's the dichotomy. And it's not even entirely consistent from one person to the next. Extroverts are capable of social exhaustion. Introverts are capable of social excitement. Extroverts are not automatically social butterflies, introverts are not automatically antisocial homebodies. Extroverts may not like making phone calls because it doesn't feel like a "real" social interaction and just leaves them feeling drained, whereas introverts may like phone calls better than in-person interactions because it doesn't feel like a "real" social interaction and doesn't drain their emotional battery.

Introverts are not delicate misanthropes who hate people and never leave their homes. Extroverts are not "emotional sluts" (yes, I've seen this!) who spend all their free time partying or what the fuck ever.

If the thought of going out to interact with other people who you know and enjoy having in your life fills you with dread, guess what? That's not introversion, that's social anxiety. If the thought of not being able to go interact with other people makes you want to break down, guess what? That's not extroversion, that's a symptom of social starvation. Both of these are signs that there is something wrong and you need to talk to a professional, not make quippy posts on the internet about how much extroverts suck because they keep making you go outside or how introverts are so annoying because they never want to spend time with you.

It is not as cut and dry as you have been led to believe, and it never will be.

“why do so many aspecs make jokes about hating love and sex?”

idk man constantly being told and implied that you have to want romance and sex and if you don’t your wrong/weird/dangerous causes a person to feel that way towards romance and sex when they don’t want it

Regular sized yap session that I might come back to in the future to talk about more, especially because I'm kind of in work mode. Probably a little controversial though.

I think it's so important that Splatoon is one of the few games to have a heavy fem-centric main cast. Like what other big game out there has that? Especially in a shooter?? Especially one this diverse and has such a huge emphasis on society and culture?

I used to be in the cast of people who wanted to have a male idol for the future, but now I don't really care. Like no it wouldn't kill us but honestly, I'd rather it be a minor character role like in the story mode.

And no offense, but when Deep Cut came out and Big Man is the first male idol we got? I saw a small minority of the most annoying people and misogynists walk out of the woodwork to rep him like good god ! Not saying all Big Man fans of course but I know a couple! And I bet those same people don't even play the game anymore, if at all. Like can you imagine if a male inkfish that was under the age of 90 came out in a future game?

Despite it all, I don't think that should deter from having a male idol, but I really do appreciate the devs taking this route, especially for a major big name company like Nintendo.

I just don't get what the point is of reblogging art that says "please don't tag as this ship it makes me uncomfortable" and then tagging it with some variation of "I won't tag it that way to respect the artist's wishes Buuuut-" like why would you even say that? I don't want to dwell on this but it's happened multiple times now and I don't know how to stress like. I Don't want you reblogging my art if you're going to act like this about it. I don't like the idea of turning reblogs off on an art post of mine because the whole point is that I want people to see it obviously, I enjoy getting to express and share parts of myself artistically that otherwise I don't have an avenue to communicate, but like. come on.

The "Dan Heng is Dan Feng" dogmatics annoy me a lot. It entirely brushes off one of the most interesting and prevalent questions posed by the game, incarnated by several characters and stories that give the question different hues with different potential answers, and a constant also in HI3, like a thread waving the two games together

To the anon I just got: If I have someone blocked, it is likely because they interacted with the callout post from may, which i simply used as a blocklist. I don't want anyone who interacts with callout posts to interact with me due to my very obvious trauma with them. Also, I'm really sorry, but for now I will be keeping the person mentioned blocked as I'm uncomfortable by the fact that the boundary I set with the block was circumvented by contacting me to ask why I blocked them. I block incredibly liberally, and I am sorry if that hurts your feelings, but honestly, 99% of the people I block I harbor no ill-will to at all, I just do not want people who spread callout posts to follow me. I didn't answer directly as I don't want the person mentioned to be embarrassed by this or whatever. I hope this satisfies your curiosity?

I think MAPPA has ruined an entire generation of anime watchers.

Yeah.

People should NOT be expecting their level of animation when you have brutal scheduling and low budget. No, I'd say watching the TV series of Neon Genesis Evangelian should be mandatory, not for the story, but what to expect when a show is running out of money and time.

Yes, you should be expecting a "slide show", aka a bunch of stills when you give staff a month or less to complete an entire episode. There should be shots of still characters with their heads turned away from the camera so mouths aren't even animated when you give an animator a day to a week to get a shot done. There is a REASON limited animation is used. But now people expect more and more without there being a change to anime scheduling or pay. Like every episode needs to be full of sakuga every second or else.

People are getting burnt out and the whole damn industry is collapsing, y'all.

Entering depressed dreamty wave era of the month, I’ll excuse myself for being moody, I randomly feel like crying on the floor.

Sorry to sound weird or negative here, but after spilling my inner emotions on a discord server I kinda wanna know.

Do you all enjoy what I do here?

Or do you find it repetitive and boring?
