#arent you tired? isnt it exhausting?

[lesbiogay]

bi lesbian exclusionists acting like lesbian is some holy word that cannot be used by anyone that doesnt fit the cookie cutter textbook definition of the label aren't that different from tiktok baby gays who say you're going to hell for calling yourself gay when youre bisexual or whatever.

Heket x overworked!tired!reader

Once more i am pretending i am not drawing inspiration from my ocs shhhhh anyways BRAIN BLAST from one of hekets basic dialogue things

Notes: reader is GN any creature, post game

CWs: none

"Its.... a nice day out......."

Heket pulls you to the side as soon as she spots you, as you finish your current shift and prepare for the next

you nod in agreement at her words, muttering that its a shame that you need to get back to work- but the fallen god is having none of it

words arent needed thanks to the look she gives you over her shoulder as youre tugged to a shaded area on the grass under a tree... away from a lot of the busy-ness of the cult

the lamb can pry you from her cold hands if they want, but shes already firmly attached to the idea that you need to rest

its the responsible thing, anyways- having you so tired and working with axes doesnt sound... wise...

holds you in place until you accept that this is your fate- even your own body betrays you as your exhaustion makes itself clear

theres not much talking between the two of you- you ask why shes dragged you away, and she curtly replies that you need rest

besides... with all the work you hadnt been able to spend time with her... she doesnt say it out loud but the way she curls her hand around yours...

the lamb doesnt find you, and if they do they leave you be- theyd like to keep things running but theyre not... a monster, better to have a healthy worker than a dead tired one

heket stealing you away to be in her company and entertain her (and to subtly make you take care of yourself) isnt a new occurrence- shes pushed you to eat or hydrate countless of times and shes only getting bolder with time

breaking my silence...i fuckng hate this "genre" of object show gijinka and im tired of acting like it isnt . bland

(using ii gijinkas as my guinea pigs for this, considering i really ONLY see these kinds of gijinkas in the ii side of the osc)

they are just. all the same build, usually same hairstyles and fashion theres NOTHINGGG that differentiates one persons gijinka from another because thats how similar they look to me, also if i were to color these do u think it would make it more obvious who is who? (if u cant already tell who is who obvs. its tt, fan & pickle but ohhhh my god THERESS NO SAUCE)

this might just sound fucking insane on my part but also even though these gijinkas dont have natural skintones (obvs trying to match the objects) they completely lack any features that say they ARENT white (i mean like very eurocentric) finding one with afro hair is like looking for a needle in a haystack (im being so serious ive barely seen any . kind of diversity like that)

and not even just diversity in races too, because 99% of them are all tall and skinny they just completely lack any body diversity (once again, very eurocentric yk yk) and because of that they have. awful silhouettes (unless they have VERY defining features which is fucking rare, so unless you have a really unique design a lot of people probably can't tell who is who unless you either squint really hard or have them be colored in)

my point is . these gijinkas just dont look good like at all. (im not gonna kill anyone for making gijinkas like this btw but ill def squint at you rlly hard but thats just me) and i think people should try to go and experiment with more expressive and fun designs that can make these blokes rlly stand out more!!! (something as simple as just, giving them acne, making them shorter/taller than they actually are, wacky hair n cool disability aids etc. just fucking go nuts!!! diversity just. makes better designs imho)

i designed these kinda on the spot (im sorry pickle) and like. even if they might look a little bland imo they have way more personality than the designs above!!!!!!!!!!! its not hard lichurally all u need to do is get an idea n try it

also i didnt know where to put this but like. another example of why i think these gijinkas just fucking suck: i uhhhh made my loser gijinka into one

her joy? her happiness? her personality and transsexual swag? GONE. SUCKED AWAY FROM HER BEING. she is a HUSK

my final note(s) on this is like. just go experiment brah im sooo tired of seeing these ohh please im so exhausted...EVEN IF U ARENT CONFIDENT IN UR DESIGNING SKILLS . GOING AND TAKING THAT FIRST STEP IS GOOD please just go nuts ohhh u wanna go nuts so fucking bad . theres many many references for different bodies n details n shit AND U DONT EVEN HAVE TO LIKE. STUDY EVERYTHING TO BECOME "GOOD" at this . just . freaking go for it

and my final (final) note is uhmm very petty but idc but the artist that popularized this kind of object show gijinka isnt the best person so like. yeah that is one of my top reasons on why i dont like em LMAO

uhhh and yeah thats it thats pretty much all sorry for rambling im just a tired little biracial boy oohh im so tired heres a lollipop 🍭

[fish-fearme]

ive been mulling and brewing and digesting this for such a long time and excuse me for ranting but if you can, please picture me chainsmoking as you read.

its such a deep sadness to me to see this spreading of the ‘irony epidemic’, this fear of being earnest, its the kids sitting behind me during pearl moaning to each other over how nothing scary is happening, only to laugh out loud exclaiming “please, emma stoneeee” and laughing, they’ve seen that on twitter hahaha thats hilarious!! and the guy next to me who spent the entirety of priscilla on his phone then boasted to his friends he thought it was so boring, bas luhrmann’s elvis was so much more fun! this refusal to be immersed, to allow yourself to be uncomfortable without cracking a joke, ate like isaiah ate ethel! mama a girl inside you! nothing means anything anymore and its reduced to one liners, a funeral for liam payne with the one direction dolls to the sound of brat, a girl died at the eras tour in rio? one less swiftie! can we be serious for one second? can we be sincere and human about anything? can we stop working so hard to curate ourselves to the other as these aloof, superior to love and kindness, caricatures of people?

ive had several therapy sessions where ive cried over my youth and the years i wasted trying to look cool, to impress other people with my taste in music and films and somewhere there i lost myself and what actually mattered to me, what i actually loved that really brought me joy. i was then and am again now scared of sharing my art online, because someone might see something of myself in it! and god isnt that so embarrassing? isnt it so cringe to be vulnerable? its all so exhausting.

When was the last time you allowed yourself to show your love for something without fear of being ridiculed? why are we making fun of joy? are you even enjoying this? do you remember what it is like to be moved by something, to feel it within yourself and love it without being told why you should love it? how far are you willing to stray from your own humanity for fucking internet points? you’re reading a book because you saw someone else talk about it on tiktok solely so you can trash it in the comments. you’re watching a movie half paying attention and half trying to come up with the perfect funny letterboxd review. arent you tired of being scared all the time? do you even know how to be honest with yourself?

[destructionsys]

i truly dont understand how people can do syscourse ALL THE TIME. no matter what side ur on. isnt it exhausting? arent you tired all the time? dont you…have better things to do?

[atinystaypixie]

Ranting cuz i need to get things off my chest and feel insane n over life

I’m so damn tired. I stay home to take care of my mother n the constant backlash i get from her is astounding. Always saying i have an attitude n that my face makes her upset. I literally am passing out from exhaustion during the day cuz i can never sleep properly and I usually am jumping out my sleep to come help her and she somehow takes it as me having an attitude and being a bitch—literally called me a bitch, despite me telling her several times its just my face and i cant control it. And then the constant saying im going to Hell because im treating her so terribly. Im trying my best but when i say that she point out that trying isnt good enough and im being a bitch. And she tells me im not taking responsibility for my actions but when i tell her she isnt either cuz she never wants to hear that she talks harshly to me and my sister then its a problem. I just dont get it. I cant do more than im doing and the moment something gets dirty or messy then all hell breaks loose. Im taking care of YOU and am home by MYSELF with you pretty much all fay everyday so excuse me if i cant clean like a damn slave 24/7, take care of you, and manage my school work all in one day. She keeps saying how she never took her time to do anything when it came to me n my sis and that we are terrible kids for taking so long to do anything she ever asks. Aka with me she means if i dont come running in .2 secs of her calling me n this usually happens when im so exhausted i dont hear her. Its a damn if i do and damn if i dont thing almost cuz if i do come quick enough i look ugly and bitchy to her but if i dont come quick enough…i still look ugly and bitchy to her AND i definitely have an attitude. Idk how she expects me to smile when she literally berates and fusses at me 24/7 for even the smallest things especially things i tell her arent happening the way she says. But if I say that she always hits me with the “no you want to play me as crazy! My mind aint gone”- yall im so tired this back and forth and not even being able to apologize and trying to be civil just to be met with curses is crazy. I would see if I genuinely had an attitude but even trying to talk it out leads to no fucking where. Im already depressed and trying not to relapse into bad habits but damn what did i do to deserve this like this? Ik im not a perfect caregiver but i literally stayed home from college and opted to do online courses to help take care of her, i opted to not find a new job, i opted to actually try and be here for her n this is all im met with everyday? Im just tired

[whumpwillow]

okay so i read this manhwa recently and there was an arc in it that had this guy who wanted to be an actor but he had signed a really sketchy contract with a super toxic awful agency that was like totally bankrupt so they took advantage of this guy’s talent and desire to become an actor to literally work him to near death without even paying him. Like he literally almost died. The first scene he was in, he had such deep purple eyebags that only got worse and worse with each subsequent scene he was in because he was so exhausted. He just looked so sad. And yeah so he was really good at acting so the agency booked him for literally every event that they could (tv shows, college fairs, kid’s birthday parties) and he would have multiple events in a day with no time to rest except in the car. And they wouldnt even pay him. The guy asked when he was going to get paid and the manager guy went wild in anger and got super gaslight-y yelling about how the actor guy just cared about the money and wasn’t grateful for the agency making him a star and investing so much money into him and helping him to become a celebrity and that he would be nothing without them so he had no right to ask about money and that he wouldn’t get paid at all until he repaid the “debt” that he owed the company for supporting him and making him a celebrity, so they point blank tell him they arent going to pay him until then, and so he asks how much he has left to pay back and the manager flies into a rage at the actor guy (because obviously he doesn’t have ANY money to ‘pay back’ because the company is just extorting him and taking all the money he earns for themselves because the company is basically bankrupt) and the guy is so sad but goes along with it even tho the manager is yelling at him and it gets WORSE. so the actor guy is so exhausted from being worked to the bone that he literally collapses during a show rehearsal and the manager guy literally starts yelling at him to ‘stop pretending to be sick’ and when other people are concerned, the manager tells them that the actor guy has done this before and is pretending to be sick, which shows that this isnt even the first time the actor guy has collapsed from exhaustion, and that the manager guy is totally minimizing his experience and gaslighting him telling him that its not even real. and then he tells the actor guy not to go to the ER ‘again’ meaning that the actor guy had been so sick and tired that he literally went to the ER and still wasn’t being treated well. and yeah there was this whole other thing where the actor guy couldn’t leave the company because not only were they gaslighting him and guilt tripping him, saying that he would be nothing without them, they were also blackmailing him with a really sketchy contract where they like, paid for a sponsor he never got and he couldnt leave until he paid it back? idk the manhwa didn’t go into that bit too much but this is just such a good concept for a whump i think?? like, you have this guy who is an up-and-coming actor but his life is so bad. things are so bad for him in this situation. i just want to take care of him and give him nice things. he just looks so sad.

tldr; famous whumpees………

"your fanservice should not be as important to you as getting a well-written third game,"

sure because forbidden west and burning shores are peak writing and good development right? the pacing isnt a mess, the rushed relationships arent a mess, the villains are underdeveloped as fuck.... what the fuck you are talking about a "well written third game" over a bad written and rushed ship that would also be fanservice? just please. thanks to people like you who defend that shitty writing of seyloy we are going to have a big mess for the third game

“shitty writing” you either have never had a girlfriend that you didn’t meet through an app or you’re not sapphic. my girlfriend and i played the whole dlc together and felt it was such a natural development of the crush. especially between two ~20 year olds (seyka seems like she might be a lil bit older than aloy bc of her status as an officer). the worst part of the DLC was londra tbh. his “cult” felt underdeveloped and confusing. but sure, go off abt how seyloy ruined it instead of how it actually added something of more value. londra felt like he was just there to force gameplay while aloy and seyka’s relationship felt like the true focus imo.

who knows?? seyka could have been written for the third game before they decided to introduce her sooner in the dlc. forbidden west was actually really good and i don’t understand why you’re searching through the tags if you actually thought it and the dlc was bad. i haven’t defended seyloy or talked abt it in the tags in over a month. and tbh i’m getting tired of defending it because interacting with y’all is exhausting. you try to sprinkle in opinions with no foundation/proof about the main story to act like you’re not just upset about seyka. the true supporters and fans of guerrilla can peer through your thinly veiled bullshit to see that you and the others are just upset cuz you’re obsessed with your fav/kin ship and NOTHING else can compete with/replace it. just look at the quote you chose to reference. struck a nerve, did i?

you sound like a bunch of middle-schoolers with all the whining and bitching about something you don’t get to, NEVER WILL get to control. because it’s not your fucking story. and it’s not mine either. i’m not writing that shit! i’m just part of a vast audience of plenty of other people who don’t agree with you weirdo little diehard talanah/erend fuckers. don’t buy the games if you hate them so much, don’t pick up horizon 3 when it comes out. leave guerrilla (especially the writers), kylie, and ashly the fuck alone. you’re making those of us who ACTUALLY feel normally about this game look deranged. there’s so many things to be excited about that already exist in the games, so much to look forward to, and so much positive shit you could be focusing on. but you waste your time complaining about a 9/10 game. find something better to do with your time cuz even while hiding behind anon you’re embarrassing yourself.

[thatnerdinthecorner]

you know what i make fun of tiktok a lot, bc most of the time it deserves it, but i think that a lot of people on tumblr could use some time on tiktok. a little bit of exposure.

the majority of tumblr users have been here a while and i know we all said that we wouldnt do the whole millenial vs gen z vs whatever comes next thing, but theres a whole lot of people on here taking things from tiktok out of context and going 'oh no look at the next generation, look how terrible' and then saying how awful tiktok is. and tiktok is awful. but its awful bc it harvests data, and is super addictive, and is fucking up the music and publishing industries, and not, i repeat not, bc the younger generation are just so terrible

yeah the whole goncharov rip off was boring and inauthentic and we all made fun of it, but the whole girl dinner and girl math thing. No.

girl dinner isnt promoting eating disorders. are there people with eating disorders that are using the girl dinner trend, yeah, but idk if you know this but any food related trend is going to have people with eating disorders jump on in there, and whilst there are definitely things we can do to mitigate the success of them spreading their gross diets and whatever the next fad laxative is, we shouldnt stop having fun with food just bc any food trend online can be done by people with eating disorders too.

girl dinner isnt some evil trad wife trend, its the exact opposite. women arent using the 'girl' in girl dinner to say la lala la laa look at me, im a little girly who only likes pink and not thinking, la dee da

they use it to say there are certain expectations that we have been taught women have to be beholden to, the idea of the perfect woman who can do it all, raise the kids, do the housework, have the full time job as well, but the kids and housework are full time jobs, and this is exhausting, and heres what i make for dinner when im too tired to cook a full meal, when living up to all the expectations is hard, bc im human, im not perfect, and if its not what a perfect adult woman would do then i guess im not, so heres me eating my girl dinner and i wont be ashamed of that, bc the patriarchy feeds on our shame, and if we arent ashamed of being the perfect woman under patriarchy, then at least in that way, it does not control us, if patriarchy is the panopticon then if we dont fear the watchman, we will never become our own watchman

ill admit, i know less about girl math, bc its popped up less for me (i think its a trend fewer people do, but it could just be the algorithm), but from what i can tell its basically just social/behavioural economics. it illustrates things like the sunk cost fallacy, eg. if ive already put money on an app to pay for my coffee then that coffee is 'free'. the people making those videos dont literally think their coffee it free, they're just saying it feels like its free, which it does, because of the sunk cost fallacy. thats not women being stupid, thats an actual theory in behavioral economics. i've also seen people talk about 'its cheaper to buy something else and get free shipping than to pay less but not get free shipping'. they don't literally think that, and its kind of insulting the amount of people there are seeing women make that joke and immediately assuming that they are too stupid to be joking.

[legalize-necromancy]

yk im reaaaaal tired of people acting like cities are inherently less racist/bigoted and completely writing off all rural areas as racist/homophobic monoliths with nothing worth saving. where is the empathy for these communities?

to say fuck rural areas and whatever else, youre saying fuck my family, my friends, their families, and all the people of color who call these places home. these communities that are already incredibly neglected but people dont care about these towns/villages/rural areas or the people in them, they just want some feeling of superiority over the “unintelligent hillbillies”

like of course racism and bigotry exists! im a black nonbinary queer who lived in small towns in central illinois for 20+ years, this isnt naivety, i know bigotry well but the thing is it exists everywhere, including cities. to act as if it’s exclusive to rural areas is disingenuous and i can smell the classism a mile away. this isnt even touching on the queer communities in cities right now but the same applies to it too.

this is also not touching on media which almost solely represents these places as truly irredeemable.

so again, i understand they arent perfect and there is much work to do but i understand these places in an intimate way that the people who want to write us as unsalvageable cannot( white liberals i am especially looking at you). i have plenty of nightmare stories: being pulled over by cops after school just got out and i didnt even make it off the high school’s property, addictions and violence thats taken friends and family, but i can also talk about the way the most community ive ever felt to this day, outside of my own family, was in the trailer park my friend levi lived in, walking through the woods identifying plants and animals and animal tracks with friends, hanging out in abandoned trailers in the middle of nothing teaching each other guitar, the farm my grandpa had and all the joy and wonder that brought me. i cant talk of the good without also speaking of the bad but thats just life isnt it?

im in my feelings and i know for sure im not saying anything someone hasnt before, maybe im saying nothing at all, but though i live in a city currently, i will never stop loving my little ol mining town in the rust belt and the rural areas that raised me and the ones that are home to the people considered disposable, uneducated, and unworthy of grace or help. im just exhausted from constantly having to experience the contempt people have for rural communities.

[eroticcannibal]

I’ll just get this out of the way: I believe in transandrophobia or whatever people want to call it, I believe in listening to trans mens experiences.

BUT. I cannot stand most of the big people on here who discuss it for reasons similar to the recent post you made about how privileged women still experience violence.

I once saw a thread of trans men all saying that cis white women who fear violence and being kidnapped murdered, shouldn’t fear that, and that any cis white woman who is scared of misogynistic violence has just been brainwashed by mainstream true crime and crime shows, and a couple people said “lol they don’t want you why are you scared”.

I am a white cis girl (I’m also a trans guy but that’s not super relevant rn lol). I fully know my privilege and frequently have discussions along the subject of white privilege with friends of color. I don’t shy away from the topic.

but I have almost been kidnapped twice in the short 18 years I’ve been on this planet. One of my earliest memories is that experience in a shopping mall. Every cis girl I know, white or not, has had real life experience at least once with this kind of thing.

and when I saw that thread, it made me feel ill. To me it feels like so many other trans guys on here decided that the “being a man doesn’t make you bad” doesn’t apply to any other privileged group because they didn’t want to be seen as deniers of other forms of privilege. I also saw an entire thread where a shit ton of trans guys were literally saying that, because white cis women are the physical “vessels of the white race”, then apparently we are not at risk of domestic violence because cis white men need us to keep their dream of a white supremacist world alive. and many people responded with righteous outrage just to be dismissed as “well they are just trying to defend white women”.

the fucking rampant misogyny in these spaces is so fucking hard to deal with, and they complain all day about how people ignore issues men have, then turn around and act like one form of privilege means your other experiences of oppression don’t matter.

so long story short thank you for those posts I’ve been so ducking exhausted lately trying to find a balance between discussing transandrophobia with other transmascs, and protecting my mental health from all the misogyny in those spaces. it’s so fucking tiring.

U get it. U get it. And yeah this sickening attitude towards women is rampant in spaces that support the idea of transandrophobia (and honestly I think this most recent wave of "progressive" misogyny is squarely on trans men who believe in transadrophobia, and insay that as one of them) I wasn't sure if I was gonna call out that group specifically myself but since u bring it up!

Also I think we saw the same post cus that sounds like one of a few that set me off lol

Like im not even shocked at ur experiences there. I have experienced and seen some SHIT while playing the role of a white cis woman. And it was all normal. The women who raised me to always be on guard did that for a reason. The distrust of men among white women isnt from brainwashing, its from knowing half your friends were molested by their male relatives and seeing their mothers get beat every evening.

But also that other example you discuss... now I've not seen it in these spaces specifically but I have seen *some* people dismissing violence against white women due to something something white supremacy and just. Its truly sickening. Its evil. (And shows a fundamental misunderstanding of white supremacy, female subjugation is an intrinsic part of it).

And yeah like you say. Any time someone brings attention to any of this shit its "how dare you defend WHITE women". As if they arent still women.

And especially when the social space i occupy still overlaps with the experiences considered that of white women, when I'm facing these justified fears of violence (again) in my day to day life.... yeah. Its fucking exhausting. When the spaces that claim to support my experiences as a man dismiss my experiences and fears because those are the experiences and fears of icky white women. (When they arent even mutually exclusive categories, and even people like me and the most cis of cis women have more in common than difference)
