#but it's MY problem not THEIRS

[gorkaya-trava]

I feel like I'm gonna lit someone's ass with this (god have mercy on me I don't wanna start a discourse haha) but I honestly don't understand what's the problem with being "proshipper" or something lmao. like. ofc the fiction has its impact on reality and romanticizing Bad Things™ is never okay but it's still art!!!!! and the art is a reflection of reality and sometimes reality is just full of shit. there should be a place for everything in art because it's just the life as it is and real problems won't go anywhere if you try to stop writing and drawing about them. I personally think that as long as you don't hurt anyone in real world you can create anything you want even if it's "problematic". I used to write about sexual assaults (yes, even about childhood ones) because you know what? I'm a csa survivor and I'm severely traumatized and it was a way for me to cope with it!!!! art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable, and it's one of my favorite quotes ever. so yeah. I don't see a problem in "problematic" content as long as it doesn't hurt anyone irl. it's just that simple. and wishing people death bc they drew an art with a "wrong" ship is never okay bc you know. it hurts real people :)

waking up super early in the morning (you had to FORCE yourself awake because you were feeling particularly frisky and daring today!) to crawl beneath your shared blanket just to give your peacefully sleeping boyfriends sloppy toppy's...just to the point of their pretty standing cocks to the brim of cumming (edging them on like crazyyy hehe) and leaving them both high and dry, humping desperately into the air as you remove yourself from beneath the comforting sheet. with a brimming grin and devious intentions running through your mind for all of the risque ideas you have planned for them for the entire day.

you giggle to yourself as you hear them whine and swear in pitiful neediness and complaints. oh what a sly little devil you are! 😈

Part of why I hate this fandom's take on Autobots vs Decepticons is ppl (mainly 'con fans honestly) who can't have any nuance of the situation whatsoever and love to write plots like "oh the humans are racist and abusive towards Cybertronians so this is how Megatron is right" no actually I don't think colonialism/imperialism and racism are justified so long as you can point the finger and say "they were the aggressors first" or "their hands are no cleaner than ours bc their society sucks too" sorry. Please come up with better sociopolitical narratives in your war story.

I read the Twilight books once – I think it was some time after the third one came out, and a very nice lady who shared a bus stop with me had nothing else to talk about except her new favorite books. She even gave me a copy, and I was willing to read ‘em. It was a nice gesture, and I was pretty deep into the realms of depression and such where anything that might be a distraction was welcome.

I honestly don’t recall much of the stalking and other classic bits people reference as horrible – I’m sure that’s a direct result of said depression. The thing I remember most is the part that enraged me, the one thing that often made me toss my kindle aside and pace about in utter frustration.

Y’see, at that time I had also JUST been learning how to drive stick. Something like within two years at most, I had gone from a what was only technically a driver to having to know how to drive a manual – with training, at least. (Though mainly in Pittsburgh. That was more the trial by fire.) And the thing you need to understand is that I do remember Stephanie Myer went into excessive detail about cars.

And apparently the sparkly vampires liked their fellow antiques old cars. Or fancy speedy bullshit, where manual gearing is considered classy, more precise and more high brow (I also used to have a friend who was really into cars who told me these things). Bella *checks notes to make sure that’s the right name* goes into MASSIVE detail about how her dad got her HER VERY OWN VEHICLE and it was suuuuuuch a let down because it was an old clunker of a truck.

Me? I was ecstatic. I was going to see a character learning to drive stick! Or at least a nod would have to be made towards “Good thing I learned to drive that tractor that one summer!” or some such excuse and that would make me feel awesome about how yes, this is a relatable element of Growing Up and Adulting!

N O T H I N G.

Not.

ONE.

Single.

Word.

I was baffled. Then I was furious. It wasn’t even that I felt cheated, it was that this was such a basic thing that nevermind sparkly vampires or werewolves, an utter lack of mentioning the challenges of driving stick for a new driver, even in the slightest passing, was utterly world breaking to me. No immersion for me, it was just GONE.

Oh, I read all of the first two books (though the second one was more because I had Theories about the weird maybe telepathy and shit that was really just depressive hallucinations or something bizarrely lame like that?). Or, more accurately, I speed-read through those bastards, desperate to get to the next part where cars were described in excessive detail BUT THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING STICK – OR NOT, SINCE SHE’D BE USED TO A MANUAL DUE TO HER SUPPOSED SHITTY PICKUP – WAS NEVER EVER ONCE MENTIONED.

I didn’t bother reading the third book, because it was clear by then that it just wasn’t gonna happen.

Anyway. Give this somewhat irrational obsession pet peeve of mine, I suppose it shouldn’t surprise me that I just ragequit a book where a bunch of superheroes were on a runaway train without sufficient e-brakes only ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED from a mere three points across a WHOLE DAMN COMMUTER TRAIN which is your most significant form of travel in the Near Future.

I DON’T CARE HOW FAR IN THE POST-APOCALYPTIC FUTURE YOU ARE, THERE’S STILL GONNA BE SOME KIND OF NTSB EQUIVALENT ESPECIALLY IF YOU STILL HAVE ENOUGH OF A MURICA TO HAVE A CIVIL WAR FOR GODS’ SAKE AND THEY’RE STILL GONNA HAVE REGULATIONS SO THIS SORT OF SHIT DON’T HAPPEN! That’s not how vehicles should fail! Yes I checked wikipedia to make sure this wasn’t somehow a horrific failure in current design I didn’t want to imagine! And for crying out loud, I understand that the characters are teenagers and panicking, but teenagers are vicious (affectionate), and if your friend has an adaptive mutation that evolves depending on the danger of a situation then you learn to step up and shove your friend off the speeding train.

everyone knows how the kotlc economy is messed up but i know how to fix it without really changing cannon, by assuming Della and Fitz are unreliable narrators when it comes to how their world works because they grew up in noblity

only nobles get birth funds, but they tell themselves and their kids that everyone does so they don’t feel guilty, and because Della was the one to tell us about the birth funds it was just her brain washing from growing up in nobility talking

Nobles are the only ones with Gnomes living at their houses, otherwise they work at or own their own shops in the lost cities

nobles lose their birth funds by getting a bad match/match fail, or by being talentless, on top of that children of bad matches/match fails never get birth funds even if they join noblity, or are directly descendants discouraging those things more than they where already

there is a working class (the nobles just like to pretend it does exist) that works in mysterum and they live in neighborhoods outside of the city that the council likes to pretend don’t exist as well so they are very rundown

Working class families still discourage getting bad matches because if they marry someone from a noble family, weather that person works for the council or not they will still will have access to their birth fund

on top of that bad matches have to worry about medical malpractice, fake reports of crimes, and being the scape goat for nobles mistakes, which most working class families don’t have to deal with.

working class kids don’t get a birth fund even if they do join nobility, unless strings are pulled, but if they marry a good match and their spouse is also a noble their child will get a birth fund

both the working class and the nobility get taxed, because no society can function without taxes, and the taxes are very high to pay for the birth funds* which keeps the working class poor and the nobility rich

the working class can’t afford the same fancy things and houses that the nobility can, and while the working class tends to make the products the nobility can buy, they can’t afford that much themselves, they need cheaper products to buy and rely on.

there are factories in the neutral territories that the banished can work at for exchange for necessities, the working environment is awful but so are all the other options for getting necessities in the neutral territories so they have a large supply of workers,

the products the factories produce go to the shops that the working class buy from because they are cheaper, even though they know that the factories are mistreating their workers, they don’t have a choice because there’s no other option for them. them working class makes the products the noble use and so on and so fourth

*there’s this saying in my economics book “there’s no such thing as a free lunch” it means the money always comes from somewhere and that somewhere is the people

Saw someone on the dp×dc tag ask people to stop tagging it with Danny phantom because it's cluttering the dp tag??? Like you're not going to get people to stop. It is literally Danny phantom. I don't know what to tell you. Just block dp x dc.

[manicplank]

do I need to be more generous with the block button or am I just being irrational

[chotachica]

I know when a ship is MY ship when I phisically can not take any angst about it without getting AT LEAST the exact same amount of fluff afterwards.

For example: Whenever I read creek fanfiction and It has the angst tag on it I NEED to check for a hurt/comfort tag AND assure it is between them. My ass is NOT reading anything without them having a somehow happy ending. I would kill myself.

Style on the other hand?? Oh yeah Stan spends almost half his life unrequitedly in love w Kyle until he accepts it won't ever happen and gives it up, distancing himself from Kyle to help himself forget about him. Except that it's not really unrequited, and Kyle finds out about his own 10 ten year old and still growing crush on his best friend when said best friend isn't around anymore. It's too late now, so he just lets the growing apart thing go it's course and hope that maybe, one day, he'll forget about Stan. They never get to know it could've been possible. oooh I'm 100% eating that shit UP

Hello! This could've been an Inter Eric Announcement, but we've found that humans tend to have great ideas on how to piss people off, so I'm gonna turn to all of you.

How should the 1000 or so of us hiding in Heaven bother Upper Management?

A.J Pollard’s biography on Edward IV was so cringe lol (generic; minor but frustrating inaccuracies; intensely judgmental at times and oddly dismissive at others while never considering the broader context; entirely diminished and trivialized Elizabeth Woodville as both queen and wife of his main subject in the name of "defending" her; created a false dichotomy between Edward and Henry VII’s styles of ruling and lauded the latter at the former’s expense even though Henry literally followed Edward’s example for the very things Pollard was criticizing Edward for; had a downright nonsensical and thoroughly misleading conclusion about Edward’s legacy & Richard’s usurpation that was based entirely on hindsight, Pollard's own assumptions, and the complete downplaying Richard’s agency and actions to emphasize what Pollard wrongly and misleadingly claimed were Edward's so-called 'failings', etc, etc)

I wanted to buy his book on Henry V but after reading this shitshow and the synopsis of that book, im guessing it's going to be 10x worse, so...no thanks

I feel like this is a good opportunity to encourage everyone to listen to music I like again and mention how one of the inspirations behind this song is, literally that sentiment

[redamanccys]

being friends with someone who randomly gets distant, mean, and just overall rude might just be the hardest thing I've ever done
