Sippin' a cold one with the boys 🐧

a narrative that i hate that goes around of kpop communities nowadays is that idols don't even try to get better because fans don't care about quality or wtv tf even tho i can see that i think it's extremely insensitive to say that when some of these idols are literally being overworked to the bone sometimes 😭 and i don't think it's them who don't wanna get better it's these companies that don't give them resources to get better at the areas that they lack because they only gaf if the groups give them money or not and don't invest in their talents at all

this probably sounds dumb and pretentious but i’ve kinda been feeling like nemona lately, perhaps a bit too literally bdjdksks like the way that she is so passionate about pokemon that it puts other people off and she’s lonely because no one Gets It. i’ve been feeling like that lately. i wish i was friends with someone who could hold conversations with me about the pokemon stuff i’m into. i appreciate people letting me infodump but i crave the close connection that comes with truly sharing this with someone and i feel like i just don’t have that. it’s not that i’m particularly unique or special or something either, i’m not, it’s just that meeting people is hard and then crossing from being acquaintances on social media or in a big discord server over into being friends is super difficult and i’m doing my best but i feel like i’m left with a lot of superficial connections, which are nice and i appreciate them but lately i crave more

pokemon my entire life has been my lonely isolation activity, i was bullied for liking it in elementary to the point i had to change schools, and i kept it to myself growing up for the most part. i was never involved in the wider pokemon community until the past few years and so many of those landmark experiences longtime fans describe of playing it with a friend or sibling… i just don’t have those. and i’m very appreciative for finally making some of those memories with people as an adult but like. man,

i want to play a pokemon game WITH someone, i want to take on a mutual ribbon master or other similar project, i want to be able to discuss rng manipulation and other similar topics and have them actually know what i’m talking about, i want to play pokemon on discord calls, i want to hang out over pokemon, and i just don’t have any of that. i don’t know how to start having that either.

pokemon is my lifelong interest since i was 4 years old and i’m extremely autistic about it and man you can tell why i liked nemona so muchjssjks

Lemao and Dajuan have hair days together where Lemao learns both how to do her own hair and how to do Dajuan's. They have a great time all the time, but somehow someway Lemao ends up soaked by the kitchen sink

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

can we stop pretending like it’s so super easy for trans men to pass. “oh just put on a baggy shirt and cut your hair-“ it literally doesn’t work like that and I refuse to believe you actually think it’s that easy

very funny (irritating) to me that everyone whined and yelled about stupid rainbow capitalism and how performative wokeness/allyship is a net bad we should all refuse to support and now like.

tumblr is doing nothing for pride and target isn't selling much (if any) of their pride collection offline except at certain stores (in democratic areas, basically) and build a bear has a much tinier collection than normal and all the actual pride stuff is on their "adult" website (not sure if it's in stores, but pride = adult is a hell of a message)

there are genuinely good criticisms for performative allyship in all its applications. it shouldn't be the only thing we expect from people and companies. but if all the shit I see being called performative stopped tomorrow then in terms of the LGBTQ+ community especially we just. wouldn't talk about queerness or queer issues or celebrate pride or do anything.

open your fucking eyes. we are very close politically to having gay marriage rolled back. now companies are basically being let off the hook to even make a miniscule effort (which matters to the people who don't have access to any other kind of support in their communities! which normalizes the community in public spaces!) because the only reaction they have gotten over the last few years are negative ones from BOTH sides.

we are so entrenched in discourse at all times for the sake of our OWN performance of who is the wokest and who is REALLY an ally or a good community member that we have basically handed over all the work of activists of the last several decades to the other side because we'd rather scream at each other over fucking chicken restaurants and shit than the real life backsliding that's happening.

and this goes for other shit too. feminism, poc rights, all of it.

also. trans rights aren't discourse and aren't just culture war arguments. in case any terfs think they can spin this to be antitrans.
