Just here to say yes, I am in fact with all the elitists and gatekeepers when it comes to punk. Yeah your DIY sucks, no it's not punk there isn't a single fucking punk band on there, and yes I'm pointing and laughing with my cool ass friends. Get with it or fuck off, we're busy having a good time
#crust punk#i dont know fucking diy or whatever man fuck you boring ass nerds youre all lame#it took me giving a fuck and learning and getting made fun of to get to where I am today#I listen to the music I got involved I made friends and I fucking learned from those that knew better than me#you fucking shitters are giving punk a bad name and stripping all the good shit off of it like its your fucking sub culture to mess with#but hey you'll all be gone eventually when the next trend hits of you get bored and I'll be here with my friends still having a good time

I don’t know how to explain any more clearly that it doesn’t MATTER if it seems legitimate to you. You have got to fact check every single headline and post and claim on the left just like you need to do on the right.
The left is NOT immune to misinformation and rushed reporting. And the more emotionally polarizing or shocking the talking points, sound bytes, and headlines are, the worse it is and more frequently it happens.
Learn to verify through multiple independent sources. If you can’t do that, you can’t trust it.
If you have to wait extra hours for the real information to come through vetted channels—NOT just one individual somewhere everyone links to, and not just one single media source either, EVEN if it’s a major news network—thats just how it has to be. What news outside of genuine local disasters near you TRULY needs your outrage and post-sharing in the next hour specifically?
Misinformation works best by not seeming like misinformation and by fitting in with the rest of what you already expect to see. It doesn’t help anyone to not be able to recognize and avoid the stuff.
#hey little star whatcha gonna queue?#and before I get any angry anons saying I’m making the argument that both sides are the same#I am not. and nowhere did I say that#and if your immediate reaction to any amount of criticism of leftist spaces or communication#is knee jerk outrage and defensiveness#this is an invitation to explore why that is for you.#this isn’t about anyone on here this is from conversations I’ve had with a few people IRL who have shared leftist misinformation a lot#so if you’re feeling attacked by this post and I haven’t directly spoken to you multiple times about misinformation with you responding bac#this isn’t. a vague post. about you. okay?#I cannot reiterate enough THIS IS AFTER IRL INTERACTIONS NOT A CAL OUT VAGUEPOST#and as one final note. IF YOU FOLLOW PEOPLE. WHO CONSTANTLY USE. THE MOST INFLAMMATORY WORDING CHOICES POSSIBLE.#YOU SHOULD NOT FOLLOW THOSE PEOPLE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TALK ABOUT.#no one communicating in true good faith to ALL PEOPLE about facts uses loaded language more than occasionally#the sooner you learn that the better. and that really starts narrowing down the pool of who you want to actually listen to (while still#verifying anything they tell you)#get higher standards!!!! and read some books or watch lectures about actual effective communication to broad groups without using tribalism#and also. anyone on the left trying to convince you of massive efforts and conspiracies that are anti everything#is also wrong 99% of the time and not a good source to listen to#never EVER assume conspiracy when it can be more simply explained through either#ignorance obliviousness incompetence financial greed or misunderstandings#the end. I’m really done this time. I’m just sick of seeing so many people fall prey to this#shh katie#cult escapee#politics and current events#don’t get swept up in the constant tsunami of performative online activism#election 2024#world events

if you dislike rpf and think a normal response to someone just having fun with rpf is to steal their hard work and paste it on a more public platform where the real people in question are more likely to see it then i don't think there's much help for you, i think you're probably just addicted to performative morality and are more of an asshole than you realise
#joost klein#putting it on the main tag because i know some of you who are like this lurk here apparently :)#did you know it's so easy to keep scrolling and backlist content and block people!!!! and guess what!!!! it's also free!!!!#listen it takes a lot to rile me up but not only are you an art theif stealing from people with more talent than you have in your pinky#you're also just a dick !#i sure hope you're a child who learned all their morality from tiktok because if you're an adult going around like this then. jfc.#sorry followers and moots etc i am piiiissed offfff rn

oh pallas and agnes power dynamic you really are SO unbelievably fucked,,,,,
#haven’t been able to write in days so i am posting instead. forgive me.#it’s just so. like. okay pallas has all of the material power here that’s not a question they’ve got much stronger magic they#know how the library works they’re directly placed in a mentorship role at the beginning re agnes she depends on them#for everything.#but also#pallas is very much Not Doing Well mentally (<- understatement of the century) and is pathologically incapable of processing their own#emotions related to this AT ALL. and in the process of trying very very hard to get to Know pallas (so pallas will Like her so pallas will#want to keep her alive) agnes kind of comes to understand a lot of pallas’s issues even better than pallas does and pallas starts to depend#on her for emotional support in a way they NEVER have with anyone else.#and pallas’s ability to show vulnerability has been soooo wrecked beyond belief that to them doing things like sharing part#of their backstory and being visibily hurt around someone is tantamount to placing a knife in someone’s hand and#then circling all of their weak points with a giant red marker while going ‘HEY STAB HERE’#so in their mind by doing this they’re giving agnes an IMMENSE amount of power over them like enough to kill them dead even though very#little else has changed about their dynamic. so pallas believes that they’re standing on much more equal ground then they really are#and agnes partly believes it too she thinks that by seeing this much of how broken down pallas is she’s finally found the balance in their#relationship she’s finally found a way to make it stable. and yeah. to some extent this is true!#pallas DOES listen to agnes more than any other person agnes IS the first person in years to understand them this much pallas’s dependence#on her for their mental wellbeing DOES give her some measure of power over them. but that power is given out on pallas’s terms is the thing#whether they’re aware of that or not. agnes wouldn’t have anything if pallas didn’t actively choose to be vulnerable with her there’d be#no way she’d learn about anything no way she’d get to play this role in their life#they believe that this thing is much more equal much more sustainable than it really is (pallas especially) and they’re#literally all each other have#grabs your face are you listening THEYRE ALL EACH OTHER HAVE IN THIS PLACE THEYRE BOTH IN SUCH HORRIFIC SITUATIONS AND THEY R EATING#EACHOTGER TO SURVIVE!!!!#head in fucking hands#wip: ghost story#pallas and agnes

Drew WWX and LWJ after I finished my rewatch of The Untamed a few months ago. I have gotten marginally better. May this set a benchmark for what to expect from this blog.
June 2023 redraw, June 2024 redraw
#Poorly Drawn MDZS#MDZS#wei wuxian#Lan Wanji#there are a lot of great artists in this fandom. I am not one of them#I've always admired artists a lot so I wanted to try learning how to draw#And the only way to start is to draw a lot. Enter the audio drama (and my desire to listen to it guilt free)#doing both at once was my way of participating in my own fandom#as much as I wanted to be super social on the MDZS forums...I honestly got really nervous#I have nothing to contribute besides going 'cool!' to other people's art#Writing and historical/theory posts. It kinda felt worse than isolation...#That aside...I am just here to dump my silly comics and I expect absolutely nothing to come of it#I'm blogging like that lady from that julia child movie. about the cookbook. I forgot what its called. this is just a journal to me

my mom told me I needed to just rest in the fact that I am a good teacher and I don’t need to be constantly on the lookout for improvement at every single second. it really helped tbh.
#I am very driven to get better and fill in all the gaps in my teaching#but also she’s so right. and also I am so often driven by anxiety#and really trying to cover every base so nothing ever goes wrong/I never get attacked#because the job is scary! and vulnerable.#but actually anxiety is not the answer here I do need to kind of just … rest in it and keep doing what I’m doing#I am reaching the kids and they are learning. I don’t need extra force and pressure on top of that.#I think it only hurts! me the kids my teaching#all of it.#have to learn how to let go and trust more#anyway just reflecting#we’re at about 6 weeks in and it takes soooo much energy to get going?#and also my awareness of things and of all the work I have to do has deepened#and that’s a good thing! but it can and has made me frantic sometimes#and it’s just. time to breathe a bit#I teach with the foot on the GAS so much of the time lol#and it’s good! but it also can burn me out fast#anyway just reflecting and repeating myself#so thanks for listening

solas approving of june's constant questioning is so funny bc he Will be regretting all his life choices about it later
#goes from 'oh a person with an open mind who is willing to listen! :)'#to 'oh no what have i done' (<- fighting for his life trying to balance what is more dangerous to tell her and not to tell her)#laya plays dragon age#oc: june trevelyan#the combo of meeting solas and meeting dorian is what kickstarts her magic nerd trajectory lol#bc she hasnt ever been validated in this way or been allowed to Learn in a way that was actually productive#and now here's this guy who encourages her to question and think outside the box finally and also a person who is super smart and#who has been dabbling with innovative forms of magic for a while now and Knows His Stuff#AND she isnt held back by being expected to learn things A Specific Way TM or being spoonfed only Restricted and Approved Information#(*and* and dagna is also there which means there are now at least three magic enthusiasts bouncing ideas off of each other)#(*AND* and as the inquisition grows they have access to resources and info that they would not otherwise have)#so she is THIRVING#in this regard anyway#anyways her relationship with solas is very fun and i am giggling at the cold sweat and headaches that she regularly causes solas#sorry buddy but you enabled this <3#feel like part of him is proud of her but also sometimes she is either dangerously close to The Truth#or infuriatingly wrong about it#and in both cases he has to force himself to shut his mouth about it

I’ve been curious for a while what other people think about the political implications of Magneto’s character. In many iterations he comes across as the classic leftist in centrist media- that is, he wants revolution and change to the system but goes “too far” and thus his ideology is invalidated by the writing. However, his holocaust survivor narrative and mutant supremacy attitude begs the question…
#listen. Genosha in 97 specifically is VERY much an allegory for Israel#but specifically an Israel in which Palestine never existed#ie the perfect blameless ethnostate that Israel purports itself to be#as well as the perfect victim#allegorically he’s absolutely a Zionist in that version specifically#but I’m curious what other people think#polls#x men#magneto#erik lehnsherr#also disclaimer: I am a pro-Palestine anti-Zionist Jewish ally goy. obvs willing to listen and learn from many perspectives here
