disabled/chronically ill people in general do not have the same number of usable hours as ableds. i can't meet my friend tomorrow because i need to wash my hair, and i can't meet them the day after because i need to do a load of laundry. i can't meet them thursday because i have an important appointment on friday, and if i overdo it on thursday i'll have to cancel friday's appointment. then i can't meet them on saturday because i'll be recovering from going out on friday, if i even manage to make it out the house. the old 'we all have the same 24 hours in the day' saying does not apply to us.
#brought to you by a disabled girlie who has been trying to make plans w/ a friend for weeks and is getting increasingly frustrated about it#if this doesn't apply keep scrolling but if anyone tries any variation on 'as if it takes you the whole day to wash your hair' it's on sigh#.txt#disabled#spoonie#chronically ill#chronic pain

anyway in the past week the irish government has voted down two motions which would have condemned the genocide in gaza.
i need everyone to stop lionising ireland as if its not also a european government with strong ties to the us. american weapons pass through shannon airport and will continue to, because yesterday the motion to stop that was voted down 83 to 50.
other governments have done much more but somehow people still act as though ireland is the ultimate palestinian ally and exempt from criticism on its handling of palestine bc it was once colonised, even though that past experience clearly isnt being taken into account by the irish government when creating policy.
i live here i know there’s a lot of public support and sympathy for palestine, which is great, but that isnt reflected in government, and i think ireland should be treated like other countries whose governments have done nothing.
#i mean i think theres also a discrepancy btwn the govt and the people on palestine bc there hasnt been a general election since early 2020#before the last few rounds of aggression by israel brought it back into mainstream western discussion#but also theres a degree of privilege in ppl not having felt the need to think abt it in 2020 yk. palestinians have been thinking abt this#since 1948#there’s also the fact that ideological support of palestine absolutely doesn’t equate to better treatment of muslims#i can promise you this country is still very islamophobic and racist no matter where you go#and i feel like that gets glossed over when ireland is treated as the ultimate ally of palestine when. realistically. it isnt#be quiet b#sorry this is like paragraphs but im becoming frustrated 👍#ive seen other posts abt this im not the first to say it they were just unrebloggable. understandably

Shout out to chronically ill and disabled people with underresearched or rare illnesses. It can be so frustrating to find very little information on your illness, very little community, or understanding. We deserve better.

Do you think Cole used to help Nya with feeling comfortable in her own skin again and feeling flesh and bones, as well as acting alive again, whilst also helping her keep her form and be more conscious and sure of it after merging with the sea, simply because he gets it?

The most important thing to learn about organizing in your community is that, no matter how easy you make it, no matter how many reminders you send out, no matter how many direct links you give people, no matter how much time and effort you put into making it accessible, no mater how much you beg and plead, no group will never read or fill out paperwork on time, ever. Maybe a few individuals, but never a group.
Factor it into your plans. If you're working on a time-sensitive project, give yourself a buffer before final deadlines in order to accommodate the people who absolutely will not Do The Thing the first or second or tenth time you ask.
Sometimes they've got a really, really good and obvious reason. Sometimes they're flaky for reasons that seem arbitrary and confusing, if not outright infuriating. Doesn't really matter, and trying to berate them for it doesn't really work. You just have to factor "at least half these people are going to miss the first deadline" into your plans from the outset. Embrace the knowledge that organizing is an advanced form of herding cats.

Usually when I'm asking for the ball I'm in a Mood.
He said sometimes it's a glance even, is that something you've given him?
...yeah, damn, yeah.
Can you show us?
Nah, I can't do that. That's not a good glance to give him though, that's why...damn that's a good one right there. I didn't... only he knows that though, you know?
#ja'marr's perspective on asking joe for the ball 😌#well aware that when it does come to that he's in a Mood lmao.#and the confirmation of the glance!!! and he's looks so like...i dunno! touched? bashful? amused? fond? when it's brought up!#like it's confirmation that they are indeed both constantly saying that they don't need words with each other#confirmation that it's TRUE that they are on the same page#from an outside source. like. confirming yes you guys have a special connection you both say it you both have examples of it#it's not all in your head (even though it IS all in their heads)#the meta. it's too much for me.#'only he knows that - you know?'#even that frustrated glance!! it's their's!! just their's!#<3 <3 <3#joe'marr#ja'marr chase#joe burrow

Some instances that I feel show how some messages in MHA are detrimental, especially on how victims react to their abuser, can be gauged by responses that tend to be highly prevalent in the fandom.
(Definitely not every fan, but a great majority).
Endeavor is a great example. Whenever you post criticizing his approach to atonement (and ultimately criticizing Horikoshi’s writing), you get BOMBARDED by people either belittling you for not liking his character or essentially forcing you to like his character by frantically writing “at least he tried” arguments.
If I have the CHOICE whether to forgive his character or not, especially given he goes through an atonement arc and not a redemption arc, why is any form of criticism about his abusive behavior and essentially his abuse of power practically ignored by the story unacceptable?
The message was detrimental because people operate on the notion that for victims to be good people, they must forgive and even help their abusers. MHA presents people who choose not to forgive him as either a monster (Toya) or inconvenient (Natsuo). And if they are still unforgiving, they must admire the abuser for doing the bare minimum (taking responsibility; this is also about Natsuo).
Essentially, they are considered "imperfect victims" because they weren't merciful in their approach to their abuser.
The majority of the fandom tends to ignore the lack of actual consequences for Endeavor's actions because he vows to talk to Toya every day. Insisting that doing the bare minimum, which is recognizing his son's existence and suffering, became his "hell" is a wildly fucked up message, in my opinion.
It harps on the issue mentioned above that if a victim isn't receptive to forgiveness or doesn't act "demure," they are seen as an inconvenience—which is how the Todoroki family ultimately views Toya.
On a less critical note, I'll vent, so if you don't like this, just ignore it.
I'm so fucking tired of stories depicting imperfect victims as people who deserve death and torture. Plus, having to be on the brunt of so many people acting like you're morally fucked because you're not impressed with how a writer handled abuse. Horikoshi is not the first writer to try to atone a character who is an abuser (and he isn't the first to fail at that, either).
I'm not about to dick-ride every decision every author makes. Especially if the message convinces some audience members that victims are inherently broken if they can't bring themselves to forgive and/or admire someone who hurt them.
#me: no systematic consequences for Enji's abuse is frustrating#some MHA fans: well what the fuck is he supposed to do then? die?#me: ... why does everyone in this fandom believe dying is the solution for every crime?#MHA: twice's death is justified toga's death is justified tenko's death is justified people the HPSC killed aren't brought up again#me: oh yeah lol#the experiences I had with the MHA fandom on TikTok so far have been the most toxic interactions I've ever had in fandom#like I used to think the bad rep was just normies being introduced to fandom for the first time#but no#people were right :v#if you like Enji and you're triggered by this#please leave me alone#also please don't try to convince me the end was good or that the story is good#I'm legit so tired of having to deal with that#each to their own#mha critical#bnha critical#anti enji todoroki#anti endeavor#todoroki family#todoroki touya#touya todoroki#todoroki shouto#shouto todoroki#todoroki natsuo#natsuo todoroki#RIP natsuo#you had some rebellion in you#he had to have a little bit of boot-licking by the end#the poor thing

Something that really gives Doctor Who some cognitive dissonance is that it champions science, but it also, of course, loves to make sci-fi stories out of ideas in popular culture. Like conspiracy theories, cryptids, all the stuff you'd see on the X-Files. Lots of stuff that in our world goes against science, and is even dangerous or bigoted.
So the Doctor will be like "science leads," but also all of human history has been masterminded by extraterrestrials, psychic powers are real, magic is real, there's a species of lizard men who rode dinosaurs and now sleep beneath the earth, the loch ness monster is from outer space, every tenth planet ever invented is out there somewhere, aliens built the pyramids and Atlanteans built the sphinx.
#Doctor Who#my posts#its funny but also sometimes frustrating#Dr Who can be a way to teach people about science and history but it can also do the exact opposite#I think we need a story where the Doctor talks about the history of the Earth and then Liz and Evelyn beat them up#this brought to you by someone who loves ancient history and hates to see ancient cultures disrespected by conspiracy theories#and who's just been learning about the real history of Atlantis#ie that it couldn't be less real if it tried and the way its thought of today was invented by racists

Okay but I need to know what the people who have only watched c3 think about Beau and Caleb because I've been rotating them in my head for three years too long to be objective anymore but like. Getting to see them through the eyes of a new party just reminded me that even though so much of our delight in C2 was focused around the constant indignity of the Nein, they are objectively a flickering metronome between "how the fuck are these people alive" and "this is the most hyper competent group of mercenaries I've ever seen" and I just. Do they know. Do they know that Beau is so fucking cool. Are there people who learned these two npcs have a whole campaign and want to learn more about them. I look at these two and see a montage of tiefling dicks and red eyes and promising to kill the other if something goes wrong. I see Caleb smearing mud and bat shit on Beau's face and Beau just resigned even as she makes the most aggrieved and annoyed sounds, Beau hauling Caleb's dissociated ass over her own skinny shoulder and walking him to safety. I look at them and see 500 hours and more of the empire siblings. The weeks and months they spent going from hating the parts of themselves they saw in each other to loving in the other what they still struggled with in themselves. I see chosen siblings, best friends. What do other people see?
#Do they know how much went into Beauregard Lionett asking 'you got my back?' knowing he did#How earned 'what's the play Beauregard' is#beauregard lionett#caleb widogast#CR spoilers#Critical role#CR c3#Bells hells#Edited to add: don't use this as an excuse to bitch about C2 please#I've already removed and blocked one person#I get some frustration on the attention c1 characters have gotten but don't get mad at c2 fans for it#We've been starved and we're just excited#And this is just wondering your impressions of Beau and Caleb#'Beau is a dick' yeah you're right! She is and I love her so much I wrote 800#Sorry eight hundred thousand words about her#Several thousand of them also about Caleb#So don't be a dick please#Whatever your thoughts these characters brought people out of some dark dark places#It's me I'm people

allison and five are actually fascinating to write together. allison is the sibling for checking on people and asking in plain english if they're okay but five would literally rather bleed out than show a shred of vulnerability
#he gets there eventually but it takes time for the trust to build#eg. viktor gets the apocalypse lore dump on five's first night back (not used to their insane lives so thinks he's crazy)#klaus gets answers if he asks questions (he doesn't) (he's barely paying attention) (ghosts are constantly screaming at him)#but diego doesn't get anything until his friend is killed by the commission. like paying back a debt. because five brought them here#same with five telling luther about his time in the commission after they attacked the house#ben is DEAD but they were probably close. which is. worse. it's worse than if they weren't#(all of five's first picks aren't an option for one reason or another - death; drugs; death AND drugs - which must be very frustrating)#and five. well. he does need to show some measure of vulnerability to get allison on board#that's interesting actually#they have the same driving motivation (I would kill for you/I would die for you/I need you here no matter what)#allison knows loss but five knows LOSS and once he reminds allison that Her Daughter will die too she's like okay screw this what do we do#because wanting to protect your children from harm is NORMAL actually#REGINALD.#the umbrella academy#allison hargreeves#five hargreeves#tv: tua

I just think there’s something incredibly special about being a mage Hawke romancing Anders. All of the other companions find the mage plight annoying at the best of times and WRONG in the worst of times. Hearing their banter HURTS me sometime because hey… you’re saying all mages deserve to have Meredith imprison them because they’re all weak?? IM one of those mages you’re talking about! You think tranquility is fine? That’s ME you’re talking about??
The only one consistently fighting, consistently seeing mages as good and PEOPLE is Anders.
He’ll fight by putting his very life on the line for our freedom. Hawke is willing to throw away his home and be on the run again for their freedom.
I just think that’s really beautiful and really special.
#dragon age#dragon age 2#handers#Anders romance#Toby rambles#this brought to you because this game is amazing but sometimes it make me so frustrated#Isabella hating slavery but being a jerk about the mages while actively wearing my favor#fenris constantly talking about how magic ruins everything while actively wearing my favor#like plz y’all….#have an ounce of empathy? please?#this is my first time playing as a mage and it’s ROUGH#and Lowkey is heart breaking because these are Hawke closest friends?? these people who are so indifferent about all the abuse?#critical#<— tagging that just in case? s#I’m just upset y’all 😭#also fuck Cullen specifically bevause WOW

To say that Kakashi and Gai’s relationship (talking solely platonic rn) was mostly about him helping Kakashi cope with the loss of Obito is disingenuous to Kakashi and all of his relationships.
Any person is going to be traumatized after seeing someone — much less their teammate — be crushed to death under a rock. Kakashi is shown to be someone susceptible to depression due to 1. His environment 2. His initial beliefs and 3. His genetic line. Of course his life is going to be centered around one of the most traumatic experiences of his life, romanticizing it is so hurtful to his character because it destroyed him - and if Kishimoto actually cared about expanding other character relationships instead of making a “generational duo that falls apart” + wasn’t a misogynistic writer, Rin’s death would be the bigger influence on his life than Obito’s.
Yes, Gai had to help him numerous times in his grief but it wasn’t solely or even mainly about Obito. Rin was an absolute vital point in Kakashi’s downfall into chaos. The self harm he inflicted upon himself, the self hatred, the self shame. He became a whole different person after he was forced to kill her. I would say Kakashi’s father Sakumo is by far the biggest influence on him. He wouldn’t have needed any speech of “your father was a hero” by Obito if it wasn’t for Sakumo. His personality of today is thanks to his father’s own death.
Gai and Kakashi’s friendship is almost entirely about them when they’re in scenes together. Look at the chunin exams, look at any scene in the land of steam arc, look at their race, etc. naturally there will be grief the two bring to the relationship and it’s on them to work it out separately, together and with other people which did happen.
You’re actively ignoring every other character that has shaped and formed who Kakashi is by saying Obito is the biggest and only reason he is who he is. Gai is one of the strongest reasons why Kakashi is as motivated and strong as he is. Kakashi would’ve absolutely died at some point in (general) anbu if Gai didn’t pull him out and he was slipping so far when he was in it because of Rin and Minato.
Kakashi’s heart does not “belong” to Obito because he’s in love with Obito and can’t get over him, his heart belongs to the people he loves because that’s who Kakashi is at his core - a lover. He’s a person who cares so deeply, even for people he doesn’t necessarily like or get along with.
Kakashi is a person who is shaped by everybody in his life, that’s why he is one of the best written Naruto characters. He feels like a real person because real people are influenced by everyone in their life, in every way. It’s unfortunate to see those who call themselves Kakashi fans only to mischaracterize, limit and erase the bonds he was written to have to prop up one single bond for your ship.
Do you care for this character? His themes, parallels, relationships and writing? or is he just a placeholder / self insert for shipping content?
#and saying kk is all healthy until Obito comes along and he’s a ‘whimpering mess’ where all his progress falls out the window#is so weird on a psychological level#because Obito isn’t be the only trigger for Kk’s trauma#if Rin was brought back and he faced her in any way he would shatter in ways he didn’t seeing Obito#I get so frustrated and upset when Rin especially isn’t mentioned in his trauma because she is the one that we see destroy Kakashi#not even Minato’s death caused him such trauma#even if he didn’t make that promise to Obito to keep her safe he’s too devoted to his loved ones#it would’ve killed him the same way if he didn’t make the promise#Gai and Kakashi’s friendship is not centered around Obito and if it was they wouldn’t be happy like they were in the land of steam arc#i love shopping Kakashi but I will not mischaracterize him and erase his influences to make my ship look better#and people PLEASE start mentioning Sakumo because he is THE beginning piece of the puzzle#you cannot have Kakashi without his trauma from his father#I just get so sad seeing Kakashi’s very real grief and trauma be interpreted as obsession and romance for Obito#like on a reality standpoint that’s just fucking weird to do#anti obkk#anti obikaka#kakashi hatake#maito gai#rin nohara#sakumo hatake#obito uchiha#minato namikaze#sins meta#naruto meta

Okay I've witnessed it happening enough in Queer Internet Circles that I think I can confidently say something about it.
Can we PLEASE stop picking arbitrary lgbt+ demographics out of a hat and having entire conversations about how they 'aren't actually queer' and 'taking valuable resources' for the crimes of 'some of them are cringe' or 'some of them are assholes' or 'they have a nebulous privilege over the rest of us so they're the oppressor, actually'.
Like look, some conversations are absolutely worth having. There's a lot of transmasc shitheads who latch on to toxic masculinity or seem to completely forget what it's like to navigate a world that considers you a woman, or completely fail to realize that being transgender yourself doesn't suddenly mean you don't have to examine yourself for internalized transphobia or transmisogyny. And that should be addressed, every community has its issues, no community is a monolith, no demographic is made up of entirely good smart righteous people or evil bad oppressive abusers. Obviously.
But I'm not talking about that!
I'm talking about people bringing up the same tired rhetoric they used when they tried to claim that nonbinary people are clout-chasing attention seekers who will keep cishet society from taking the rest of us seriously, that people used when they decided asexuals were actually cishets who co-opted our movement for their own personal gain, which was recycled from when people tried to claim that bisexuals are het-passing fakers and if a REAL queer has sex with one they'll be left for a cishet because that's what bisexuals do, which is the same as the shit they spewed at whoever the target was before that! It's paranoid nonsense all the way down, people looking for an acceptable target to take their shit out on!
Can we stop doing this, please?? Can we stop picking demographics within our own community that people arbitrarily decide are fine to bully and mock and kick out of the spaces they helped create because you think that they're cringe or that speaking about the issues they face is privileged whining? Can we stop giving bigoted cishets free reign on already vulnerable communities because someone arbitrarily decided that THESE queers are evil and cringe so its okay to make shitty comments and jokes about them? Can we PLEASE stop the cycle in its tracks while we can still see the crosshairs moving onto tranfems and trans women? We can stop this now before it starts getting uglier and deadlier, but we HAVE to be aware and do more than complaining about it online.
#spitblaze says things#and im ESPECIALLY worried because i have an extremely bad feeling that the next target is gonna be transfems and trans women#so KNOCK THAT SHIT OFF! ALL OF YOU!!!#long post#i have been wrong before! i will be wrong again! im not a spokesperson or an authority im just noticing trends#THAT HAVE ME VERY FUCKING CONCERNED#ugh. i feel like i should stop making posts about queer community stuff. i probably should for my mental health#but mostly it feels like i dont have any place to talk. unsure if thats true or anxiety brainworms but.#its never brought me anything except frustration and anguish anyway so. dont expect more original posts on the subject

Kinda got a love/hate relationship with the history of K/S because it's like. Can I please have a queer discussion about this 1960s television show without it being reduced to "shipper discourse". I thought Spock and Kirk were homo long before I knew that their characters spawned a fanfiction counterculture. The bisexual dude who wrote the episode that really kick-started the movement didn't know it was going to coalesce into the fan phenomenon that it did, he was just writing what he knew how to write best: the repression of burning male desire, and two dudes doing homoerotic shit. Can I just talk about the repressed burning male desire please, and the implications of a gay angle to Kirk and Spock's story, without it being referred to as shipper discourse. Can I do that. Does this make sense
#yes queer men write fanfiction but the subculture itself wasnt really centered around us or around closeted male desire which is the part#i related to#and I don't always think it gets to be talked about in a way thats ever fully divorced from that context if that makes sense?#one could argue it never WILL be divorced from that context but I believe said subtext existed before k/s was invented so#anyway this is one if my most autistic posts to date#historic moment#i hope this makes sense#k/s#star trek#the premise#like i just feel like glossing it over as ship discourse is demeaning to the actual GAY part of the discussion. this was even seen when#Gay-Gay Abrams was making his reboots and people brought up the subtext as a possibility#and creators were like “grrrrr you shippers just want your two favs to kiss onscreen” which downplays the significance of two men#being INTIMATE ONSCREEN#and is a lazy way to sweep queer male rep under the rug idk idk Im tired#Kirk and Spock will always be dismissed as a possibility and thats the excuse thats always used#its just so tied up in that fandom culture#i mean its interesting its just also frustrating at times
