I’m not sure when exactly this happened, but I think it’s clear that the aro community really is a community, now.

For the longest time I’ve felt like we were still in stasis, not quite there; a proto-community, yes, but not quite a community. But we have more history now to lean back on, more of each other to talk to and laugh with and cry with and learn from. More people that’ll go forward and make a part of modern aro history. More people that believe us, believe in us, will stand with us if we ask them.

I wouldn’t consider myself an aro elder yet, though each year I’m surprised at how long aromanticism has been a part of my life, how long I’ve been free of doubt or insecurity about my aromanticism, how far we’ve come since I was questioning. Then again, when I was questioning, some of the people I looked up to for guidance were probably close to the age I am now, so I might be there sooner than I think.

And, I’m so so hopeful for all aros, young or old, new or not, because we’ve come so far. Day by day, progress is slow (and yes, it’s unfair, it should be so much faster), but looking back it feels fast. We are our own role models, the people we look up to for guidance. We carve our own path through life, making things up as we go. I used to find that terrifying, because I had no idea what the future would bring. But it’s actually amazing, because I can ignore all these silly “rules” and guidelines about what my life should be, and instead ask, “what do I want my life to be?”

Younger me, you have no idea how awesome your future is gonna be. I’m sorry about the pain and hardship you’ll go through first; it won’t be fair and you shouldn’t have to deal with it. But you’ll make it through, and one day you’ll be me. I can’t wait for you to get here.

actually, don't you find it INTERESTING how control is split between the characters of the stanley parable. like think about it;

the narrator controls the game, for the most part; he keeps the show going, he keeps the world turning & narrates what's supposed to happen. the way he paints himself as having created the game, as well as stanley, you would Think he has his hand on the controls- but with endings like the confusion runaround, as well as the skip button incident, he seemingly does not.

the curator retains a bit more awareness of the situation at hand than the narrator; while both acknowledge there's something wrong & a vicious cycle may be at hand, the narrator only realizes that when allowed(?), where the curator- in her one interaction, is Painfully aware & tries to shut it down the only way she probably can or knows how. she likely doesn't have any control over the game, & her presence goes unnoticed by every other character that can possibly converse.

the settings person offers & maintains settings options that otherwise are inaccessible through normal means, something one would Think the narrator should be able to do - but doesn't, & they encourage you to keep the cycle going & KEEP playing, exploiting the game for all that it is & then some to assure as much, directly aiding the narrator's desire for a successful gaming experience, yet encouraging the worst possible outcome for everyone involved.

stanley is Literally the name of the game; he is the star, the world revolves around the actions he's made to perform, the narrative crafted around a story JUST for him. he defines. he gives the narrator meaning, he gives the curator & the settings person someone to infer to, he's been made to be important.

& you... well. you're really the star here, aren't you? without you, the game doesn't run. stanley isn't real. the cycle no longer perpetuates. for as long as you play, you keep the characters alive & contained within their roles. you keep the settings person happy, you make the narrator mostly happy(?), you make the curator watch this scenario unfold time & time again.

the main pillars worth noting in this game, INCLUDING YOU AS A PLAYER, all hold a piece of this gigantic puzzle that none of you are putting together & control is effectively fractured between you all.

referring back to my last post, having read all this, you tell me who the villain of the story is.

22 March 2024

Truth be told, I've had rough ~3 days. The test that I thought I was so well prepared for ended up going pretty badly (I passed but with a low grade) and there have been some other minor troubles too. I skipped this morning's lecture to get some extra sleep, then went to the seminar and gave a presentation. Bought some (vegan) chocolate to cheer myself up.

Some complaining under the cut lol

Actually, this whole semester has been rather rough. I love chemistry, genuinely. I think anyone who's been following me for at least several months knows this. I've always been very passionate about my major. But now I'm taking ochem and it turns out I hate it vehemently - it sucks all joy, determination, and fondness out of me. I find it boring and frustrating and it continuously makes no sense to me. It gives me zero satisfaction to study it and satisfaction is extremely important to me when it comes to uni. I hoped maybe it was only a matter of attitude, but I just can't change the fact I detest organic chemistry no matter how hard I try not to.

Probably the worst part is that it's sort of the only course I'm taking this semester - that is, I'm also taking pchem lab but that's only one class per week and it doesn't require that much extra work at home. That leaves me with tons upon tons of ochem work with nearly nothing to level it out.

So, I'm struggling! I know I just need to make it through this semester - then I'll be done with ochem forever and I'll be content and enjoying uni again - and I don't need to get amazing grades in this horrible course, I only need to pass it. But my goodness, it's so hard and painful when I remember how happy I used to be.

Phew, okay, now that it's out of my system it's time to stop complaining. It'll pass and I'll push through. Only a little over 3 months left! I got this I got this

okay i wanted to talk about how heartbreaking this scene is. when kazuya threatened to destroy the place, jin's FIRST reaction was to look at all the people fleeing - it shows how much jin truly cares about everyone. but i just realized what's even more fucking heartbreaking is that he specifically focuses on a mother and son. a mother and son whose lives are being threatened by a monster... this has to... this HAS to be intentional. the way jin jerks in disbelief and fear after this.. it makes this scene hurt even more. 😭

i'm really convinced jin was about to cry here. with how much brighter his eyes suddenly got, and the way his mouth starts trembling. i really think he was about to cry.

still caps to show how wide & bright his eyes got. but it really does look like a face of devastation. this is a man who desperately wants to be good. he aches to save lives, to help people in spite of his family lineage, in spite of his devil gene. but he can't. he fails every time. despite how hard he tries, how much pain he endures, jin is never good enough, he's never better. i think this really broke him here, i think this is a reminder to jin that he's a failure.

but jin doesn't cry. because he can't allow himself to. he always resorts to anger instead.

out of context, this was such a beautiful scene. it really establishes how much jin cares about people, how seeing people get hurt (or potentially) really affects him. i'd even call this a BRILLIANT SCENE. like the series can't convince me this was the man that started a war and lead to the death of thousands, if not millions, of people. this man is so PAINED to see even a few people get hurt - even one person. this is a man who'd do anything to protect these lives. tekken 6 wasn't what jin was, but this, this is jin kazama.

unfortunately, when they refused to retcon 6 or do more damage control than just having the character say "sorry" it just... it just makes little sense. even though this was an amazing scene, fans cannot react to it as well when it's ridiculous that a man who had dragged the world to hell, cares this much about a handful of people when he's supposedly responsible for the deaths of way more.

without thinking about the inconsistency and tek6, though. this is still so heartbreaking to me, and what jin should be.

being told by lauded poet richard siken that your high school questions are so annoying he wished his stroke had killed him is SOOOOO cool are you JOKING!!!!!!! that’s so much better than if he had lied and come up with a bunch of personal anecdotes and also 100% tells you more about his poetry than any autobiographical fact so. the fanfiction thing is just unrelated and slay of him.

Hello!! Do you have an idea why Inoue wasn't happy with the anime and didn't want it to continue? I haven't read the first part of the manga so I'm unsure.

Actually this is something i researched. This answer isnt 100% confirmed but its very likely this is what happened

why the slam dunk anime got cancelled

Okay so, let me first note that the SD anime was VERY popular during its run. It had high ratings in Japan and even neighboring countries such as the Philippines. I don’t remember the exact viewership, but it was way too high for it to have ended due to poor ratings

The main issue was conflict between Inoue and the directors/producers of the anime. Now, since the SD anime was popular, they wanted it to keep going. When they heard Inoue wanted it to end after Sannoh, mfs weren’t happy 💀

So they wanted to adjust the anime so that it had a different ending from the manga. I think they planned on having the anime ending be Shohoku winning nationals. That way, the anime could go on longer and milk out all the money from it. Inoue wasn’t happy with that AT ALL

As a result, he cut the production on it altogether. I think Inoue really cares about the adaptations being faithful to his vision instead of them tryna change things

While I do think it was a lil extreme to do that, the anime ending they had in mind just seems bogus 💀. So I think it wad better to scrap it

Alrighty, based off the stress induced rash I have on my cheeks and eyes, I’m going to take that as a sign to log off for a bit. I think it’s one of those situations where it’s going to get worse before it gets better because of outside factors. Tata for now. 🌱

I just came across your post about vagueposting and I think I agree with it, but the situation you most likely wrote it about is hardly a "vagueposting" because you could say who it was about after reading it literally one time and that person got jumped and insulted in the anon ask anyway so discussing it in person could be safer...

I'm reeeally sorry for bring up a past situation, but I don't think it's a good idea to write nasty things about another person and specific details about how they interact with the fandom and their post, say things that will help to easily identify a person and at the same time insult them or say how you think they feel about the characters or the story based on your feelings about their one take that you didn't like and then call it's "vague" because there is no name in the post. I mean, It can lead to bad consequences, it literally did in that situation.

And yes, I do think people have the right to discuss bad takes or takes they don't like, but there's a way to do it without giving away every detail about the post and the person who wrote it so everyone knows who you're talking about, and if you're not good at being vague, just discuss it in a private chat.

this ask is old but i was busy last week, so forgive me for the late response. i was debating answering it at all, but i dont want myself to be misunderstood, so just. to clarify under the cut.

i'll agree with you that the post/situation in question wasn't vagueing. now, i don't know exactly the difference between the number of followers i have and the number of followers that the blogger in question has, and when it comes to the number of active dsmp followers i think both of us have even less of a clue. that being said, both of us frequent much of the same circles, so i think it's fair to say that many of my posts will end up being exposed to a very similar audience to his, and so therefore this response about the situation you're talking about will be just about as clearly traceable to a specific person as the post he made that started the situation in question. just as a general observation.

if i'm understanding your ask correctly, while vagueing a take is fine, the vague shouldn't be clearly identifiable if you're going to speak badly about it or disagree heavily. to which i have to ask what, specifically, is defined as clearly identifiable? i think most takes in this fandom can be pretty easily traced to a person, even if that person is not the only person that believes in that take--just as an example, c!tommy as a butterfly pinned behind glass was a take in response to the c!sam and c!dream stream after techno escaped, and grew to be a pretty prominent theme to the point of a zine being modeled after it, but i can also trace it to a pretty specific tumblr post with a name attached. i also think that that same statement probably isn't true for many fans who maybe joined later on in the fandom. i mean, i'm aware that i'm being pedantic here, i'm aware that the situation in question created conflict specifically due to it being within dreblr and in a space where multiple people would've seen both posts and felt ensuing awkwardness bc they know both people either on a personal or acquaintance level, but i mean the same applied ages ago whenever strategist-interpretation and trauma-interpretation c!dream apologists felt like going at it again on the dash.

in this scenario specifically, what made the situation clearly identifiable was the nature of the take that was being discussed. the main identifying detail was the take that the asker was asked about, imo, and i mean ... yeah i mean. most takes that haven't blown up pretty heavily do end up being tied to one or two people? i mean, staged finale is a take that can be tied to three people who argued in favor of it the most before the rest of dreblr got on board only in late 2021. i simply don't think that a take that maybe only one person has argued for (which, i dont remember the statistics of the take in this situation, so i dont remember how many notes it had or how many people in total may have expressed public agreement towards it, honestly) is exempt from discussion when it is posted in a meta or analysis space as an analytical piece, which i do think applies to this take from what i remember about it and how it was tagged.

and back to the discussion of what's acceptable as far as directly responding versus vagueing, i mean, a lot of the discussion i've had on my blog (abt discourse etiquette in General in meta spaces on dreblr moreso than this specific situation, largely bc i did want to avoid commenting on a situation that 1) i really had no business in and 2) i have reason to be biased about. the main reason why i'm talking abt it now is bc hopefully enough time has passed for feelings to be less fraught and bc i want to make certain thoughts of mine clear, in case they weren't clear enough in my original posts abt dreblr and whatever) revolves around both direct responses and vagueing having their reasons as well as pros and cons, and both will likely continue to exist in analysis spaces and generally i don't think it's productive to really comment on what people can or can't do on their own blogs. in this scenario, i don't think "vagueing about one specific person in a way that may be clearly identifiable to parts of their audience" is uniquely unacceptable? a direct response very clearly would make the person in question identifiable -- outside of how it's kind of impossible to make a post vagueing someone in a way where No One has Any Idea who you might be talking about without making the post like, incoherent inherently, if vagueing (not identifiable) is okay and directly responding (identifiable) is okay, then why is vagueing (identifiable) not okay?

now, i understand that any situation where the person in question might be identifiable, some people may take the open disagreement as permission to harass them. and obviously, harassment sucks. part of the whole point of opening up this conversation on my blog was bc i worry, with the way that a single conflict between dsmp opinions has kind of rippled through dreblr recently and the responses to this "situation," that an environment is being created with too much of a forced global consensus that punishes people for stepping out of the status quo in both opinions and behavior, which is obviously bad for the whole community, and was looking to voice some of that and have a conversation on solutions. and i understand that in this situation, a lot of your problem with the blogger has to do with his general attitude in discussing the take and his statements on the person who made it. now, i think you have every right to find his statements offensive and disagreeable and to unfollow and/or block him. that being said, i am not exactly a PR agent, and i want to reiterate that what people do on their own blogs isn't my business and i don't think it should be my business. or uh, anyone's business, for that matter. i don't think that everyone "in dreblr" is beholden to keeping to a certain person's standard for "acceptable" disagreement and "acceptable" sharing of their own opinions on their own blog as long as they're not inciting harassment, which entails, like, actively encouraging harm to happen yk. i mean, you can think that the blogger was being rude or an asshole and prefer to never see him again, that's fine. that's your prerogative. but i mean, i'm not gonna tell the guy how to interact with the fandom on his own blog, haha.

to be clear, im not telling you what you can or can't do on your own blog either. if you wanna make a post about how his posts contain harmful rhetoric, how he's an idiot, or how he's rude bc you disagree with his public posts on this situation or on the dsmp as a whole, i mean, i'm not gonna handwring over it and tell you that you're not allowed to do that. it's none of my business, and i like to think i'm not that hypocritical. and honestly, i think that in a space where we're talking about analysis, commenting on harmful rhetoric happens often and should happen often when it happens -- literally anyone can make an analysis post that has harmful rhetoric, and sure it's fiction and no one has to answer to the analysis police for making a bad analysis post, but i've also been in this space and seen enough truly mind-boggling amounts of parroting takes about torture that make people sound like CIA psyops to go "well saying that someone's analysis post contains harmful rhetoric is really rude" pfft. again, i'm not saying i'm immune to hypocrisy, but i've certainly malded enough times in public about the shit people have said in this fandom to take issue with that. now, getting a little less into the strictly-analysis side of things, i understand that insults like calling someone an idiot may not sit right with everyone, to which i say. block to your heart's content. but c'mon man i've called people idiots before i'm no saint 😭😅

anyway. i hope this clarified some things, anon. take issue with whatever and whoever you like, honestly, whether that's me, the person that i just not-vagued for the last however many words, etc etc -- again, your prerogative. and i agree, it's a shame the situation devolved into stuff like insults in both bloggers' inboxes when it really didn't have to be like that like. at all.
