there I fixed it
I hate government programs in the US bc conservatives are always trying to dismantle them so the lefty byline is always like "these programs are vital and lifesaving and keep so many people from starving and being homeless, they're Very Good and you have a moral obligation to protect and defend them!" and the program is question is something called the National Anti Hunger Initiative or NAHI and it only applies to people who have $527 or less a month in Net Perforated Index-Subnet Income (NPISI) before taxes and housing costs and the program gives you a $99 a month voucher that reloads every 1/80th waxing moon that is only good for buying specific brands of gruel BUT you only get to take 200 breaths a day when you're on the program and for every breath over 200 you take they subtract one dollar from the vouchers you receive and you have to count and report your own breaths bc they don't have the funding to do that and if you misrepresent the amount of breaths you take that's Breath Fraud and there's a hotline you can call to report someone's Breath Fraud and you can be denied gruel vouchers for the rest of your life if youre accused of Breath Fraud. And you're just like. Not allowed to complain abt this bc apparently the only alternative to this is no one ever gets gruel vouchers
#aldhdkaha#but yeah op i agree#fuuuuck how broken the governement is#please can we dismantle is and built a better one#like we were supposed to#instead of trying to put duct tape and glitter over the cracks every time we see them?#or ignore them#or blame them on someone else?#like obviously the system isn't working#so break it apart#and then built it back better#government#ravyn rants#ravyn rants in the tags

yeah you say “cringe is dead” but do you still apologize about reblogging stuff related to your “cringy” interests? kill the mindset that you are somehow not included in that statement or we’re never actually going to change anything
#i have never been in a fandom that apologizes for liking the source media as much as the homestuck fandom does#like jesus christ STOP it’s not cute actually#we’re on tumblr. we’re literally on tumblr and you still feel the need to be like ‘omg so so sorry for reblogging this hs post teehee’#if people unfollow you for it who cares. who. cares.#also not only is it 1) perpetuating a toxic culture of shame and 2) annoying#it’s highly disrespectful to the creator of the media#someone poured their heart and soul into the anime or book or album that you’re so ashamed of liking#by APOLOGIZING for liking something just because other people like to mock it you’re agreeing that this thing that you supposedly love#is defective. less than. worthy of mockery#i mean not only is that spineless as hell it’s like. imagine being a creator and knowing that not even your fans respect your work#so yeah. stop apologizing for liking the things you like. either express that affinity freely or shut the fuck up entirely#hm. im madder about this than i thought i was. lol.#op

no one knows pain like a transfem roman believer with entirely ambivalent feelings towards romencken
#op#succession#the thing is. its arguably not the most substantiated reading#but romans character shifts wildly from writer to writer#like people are surprised by jesse calling him a 'classic playboy' when the show does everything to disprove that#but its like. yeah lol he didnt write romans arc! roman was passed between dozens of screenwriters all of whom have vastly different#perspectives on who he is. thats how we get romans characterization changing so much btwn seasons and even episodes#so anyway all readings are an attempt to recuperate this meta discordance#and i personally think that him being transfem is the most interesting wrt how it affects the larger themes of gender in the show#but also. i cant share in these feelings bc the entire circle of people who agree with me are passionate romencken fans and i simply dgaf

... It's not quite my favorite thing I've written and I'd love to redo this, but I've got something like that.
https://archiveofourown.org/works/27058378
It's literally killing me that there's nothing on the Malcolm Reynolds & Simon Tam, Father-Son tags on AO3. BUT IT'S SUCH FERTILE LAND FOR FIC TO GROW THO!!
Are you TELLING me nobody else has unresolved daddy issues you'd like to work out through Simon being the stubborn but brilliant, overanalyzing, neurotic gotta-be-10-steps-ahead-cause-nobody-gives-a-shit-about-us doctor of the crew that is always on survival mode cause he quite LITERALLY was abandoned by his own father in his greatest moment of need? And not only that, REMEMBER WHEN JAYNE DOUBLE CROSSED HIM AND RIVER IN ARIEL?? and we all expected him to go bezerk or at least look betrayed?? But instead he was all cool calm and collected and YES that is in part because of his work ethic and because of Who He Is As A Person (not a person that abuses his position of power over someone more vulnerable).. but... what if it's also because.. he never expected anything different? Like.. just think about it. If his own DAD doesn't give a shit about him and River...who would? So maybe that's just him being kind of resigned too?? To something he accepted long ago. He doesn't have any of Mal's outrage, he doesn't have his ire, because unlike Mal, he never expected anything different.
Maybe that's also why he's unable to effectively bond with Kaylee despite having feelings for her. Cause it's been him and River against the world for so long in his mind, that every time his feelings try to cross that line towards Trust Territory, alarm bell start ringing in his head.
This is obviously gonna lead to Simon and Mal to butt heads because as Mal is captain of the ship, his position demands--you guessed it!-- TRUST from his crew. Trust that he'll lead the way somewhere safe, trust that he'll look after everyone with his decisions. And Simon..well he just can't do that (there's too much at stake).
And at first it just drives Mal crazy to the point he probably kicks the siblings to the curve a couple of times (like we saw in Firefly, like we saw in Serenity) not out of cruelty, but because he's never been one to keep someone who doesn't want to be kept (just ask Inara).
Speaking of Inara, maybe she's the voice of reason (as she tends to be) that eventually makes Mal see beyond Simon's insubordination, and see that he's not trying to be difficult, deep down he's just a kid, scared shitless, all alone in the world. But..he's not, says Mal. Sometimes that's just hard to feel for some people, shrugs Inara. At first, Malcolm protests against this like, I have too many responsabilities looking after this ship to care for the doctor's precious feelings, too! Inara throws her hands in the air like, This is why nobody ever talks to you about these things! Mal is offended at the implication that ANYONE in his crew keeps things from him, he squawks WHat things?!?..and it turns into the Mal&Inara regular show.
But it plants a SEED in Mal's head, see, and now every time Simon objects against something being done, instead of seeing some churlish display of disobedience, he sees the anxiety, the undercurrent of fear that is there.
Maybe he goes to Simon's quarters at one point and realizes he's hardly unpacked and he's like...shit. it's worse than I thought.
Feral Simon with daddy issues and an attachment disorder is what I want!!
#firefly#firefly 2002#firefly tv show#simon tam#inara serra#malcolm reynolds#serenity#river tam#i wrote this and it might be ooc#and a little au-ish#but yeah OP i agree

i wonder how zeff would've reacted to sanji's bounty poster changing to "only alive" and then later to sanji "vinsmoke" (well known former conquerors/royalty of the north blue)
whether sanji's told zeff about germa or not, zeff would be stressed OUT
#op#one piece#sanji#zeff#red leg zeff#vinsmoke sanji#black leg sanji#SHUT UP yeah yeah i copy pasted this from my twt DIE#idk i like to assume sanji never told him#because he'd be scared that word would get out and he'd be sent back#or like#zeff would kick him out#EVEN WORSE: sanji paranoid that zeff would kick him out because he agrees with why judge didn't want him 😭😭#like that's 100% ooc for zeff to do but sanji is an overthinking paranoid traumatized little guy#mind you this is the same guy who thought luffy+the strawhats would be better off without him despite everything#not /neg btw i understand sanji he's just like me fr#ok but IF sanji DID tell zeff about germa ZEFF WOULD BE SOOO WORRIED#LLIKE. WHAT DO THEY WANT WITH MY SON???? hoping sanji's still safe but knowing that SOMETHING to do with his family definitely happened#germa 66#min watches one piece

i have to admit the phrase "curate your experience!" is kind of a pet peeve to me at this point. like i agree with the sentiment i LOVE the block button she is like a wife to me. and don't even get me started on tag exclusion my sweet darling. however the people who say "ummm just block people and tags sweaty :)" every time someone complains they dislike something are so . like. sorry you guys don't understand that sometimes bitching about stuff on your own personal blog is a way to process negative emotions and move on. sorry you guys don't understand the noble art of haterism or whatever. get well soon
#rimi talks#it just seems so condescending imo like. yeah dude we all know about the block button. sorry the world isnt sunshine and rainbows 24/7#this isnt even about anyone on one of my posts i just glanced at the notes of that ''enjoying fandom w/o reading the source material--''#''--is like saying you love a hangover not partying'' post and. some people are so Fucking annoying i think#the most pedantic part of me wants to be like. @ those guys. curate YOUR experiences.#stop telling op and other people who dislike stuff to get over it and shut up (in politer terms but isnt that the sentiment)#its just funny bc i DO agree that you should block people you dislike and take steps to avoid seeing stuff you hate#but the way some people talk about that is sooooo. blocks them blocks them blocks them

reminder that my totk rants are me just rambling about my thoughts, ideas and complaints, im not trying to analyze anything, be smart, be right, debate or convince anyone who likes it that its bad just bc i think its bad or simply dont like the choices made, im literally just spilling out my brain so it doesnt keep haunting me
if you think something makes sense that i think doesnt i, and forgive me for being so blunt about it, do not care why you think it works, my opinion of this game will not change and i am okay with that
you are free to disagree with anything i say of course but i really dont care why, sorry
(sth i said only in the tags before but added now in this edit bc i think its important: its not bc i dont want to hear other peoples opinions and live in ignorance or something, but bc im tired and i PROMISE you i have seen 99.9% of those arguments already)
im not trying to be mean, aggressive or dismissive, but again, these rants are just me rambling with no intention of arguing with anyone, the only reason im still posting whenever i think of something thats bothering me (even if it might be dumb or be disproven in game bc i am not all-knowing and might be possibly misremembering something), and letting those posts be rebloggable/interactable is bc i have been told by quite a few people that they like reading them or that they feel validated in their own disappointment
thats it.
#ganondoodles talks#i usually seek/like interacting with people on my posts but not really in the case for the rants#like if you also have stuff to complain about or agree yeah go right ahead#but if you are trying to take down every one of my thoughts with arguments as to why im wrong or being unfair#i dont care#and thats not bc i want to live in my own little world and never hear of other peoples opinions#but bc i PROMISE you i have seen those arguments already#alot even#too much even#and i dont care that you love the story#im sorry but i dont#i think its shit#so i will say why i think it sucks#and im not looking to be proven otherwise#bc people are biased and will always like different things#and thats okay#its okay to read soemthing you dont like and then move on and forget it ever happened#if i see a post i dont like i MIGHT go and ramble on my own without saying which one it was bc i just have thoughts that need to get out#but im not looking to argue nor bother OP with it#if i dont like something for dumb reasons i think thats just as valid as liking soemthing for equally dumb reasons

The mgs fandom would rather fixate on made up yaoi pairings than pay any attention to a canon lesbian lol canon relationships involving women are always ignored idek the ship name for bibo and eva despite it being explicitly canon with interesting characters and crucial to the story. raiden and rose? nah samuraiden. otacon and sniper wolf? nah otasune. solid and meryl? nah otasune!!! kaz and cecile? nah ocelhira. there are no women characters in the mgs fandom. the focus is always men regardless
and you're so right about that, even straight ships with female characters get ignored that's how awful it is. Tbf Meryl and snake and otacon and sniper r not good ships but they should still be discussed. (I think its super interesting and important to discuss otacon's issues based on the grooming that was done to him as a teen but I think the fact that everyone ignores the fact that same thing happened to Meryl is just ugh)
And to build on that the female characters should be discussed outside of their relationships to men. I've never seen a quiet or eva analysis post without having to search for it explicitly. People don't talk about the boss unless they're talking about bb or sorrow or ocelot or some random fucking man. The amount of queer women in the game and just strong interesting female characters that get ignored in a mix of the games focus and the fans focus (both the straight and queer ones) is just insane to me. Its fine to ship mlm ships or whatever you want really as long as it's not weird but its no secret there's a pattern among certain fans that show how little they value women's contribution to the story. Don't even get me started on the way women and just characters of color r treated by some fans in the fanbase
#my laptop died while writing half of this so its shorter than it was rip sorry#yeah I agree tho op#off topic but how do you feel about trans fem Raiden if were just saying controversial opinions bc I like it#I want to marry rose#and sniper and Meryl and quiet and Eva and strange love and cecile and mei ling and#mgs#metal gear solid

Capitalism created the middle class as business leaders responded to the rise of socialism in the early 1900s by restructuring to elevate a certain subset of the population to a point of comfort just high enough to dissuade them from revolution and leaving a shrunken lower class that could not fight on their own. This is not a conspiracy, pro-business organizations existed with this as their explicit goal. Teddy Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson all prioritized labor reform with the explicit purpose of weakening the rise of socialism in the U.S. to protect long-term business interests. Teddy Roosevelt in particular was explicit in how he viewed corporate interests as his number 1 priority and desperately tried to get socialists arrested. Capitalists created the middle class because the alternative was the destruction of capitalism, they had simply pushed people too far. The preservation of it is essential to capitalism's continued existence in this country, but short-sighted capitalists continue to shrink the middle class because they are, quite frankly, just dumb and greedy for short-term profit. The destruction of the middle class is a flaw in the capitalist system as we continuously move more and more to a capitalism that only cares about quarterly gains and not long term profitability. The only outcomes of this are the continuation of socialist revolutionary intent or the strengthening of the middle class again.

that virtualtoybox person literally told me they aren’t reading what I said and then tried to talk to me w about as much in their tags lol. i never understand people that go ‘I’m not reading all of that but you should read what I have to say” bc like. imagine how infuriated ur gonna get when that response is leveled right back at you? and judging by their tags they didn’t read past my very first line. bc they started comparing animals and animal rights to eugenics which is EXACTLY what I was saying is extremely dangerous to do. That’s exactly how people start calling things that happen to animals a ‘Holocaust’ and I’m positive such a statement is made in that book they told me to read. I’m disabled too. I know what I’m talking fucking about too. In the animal section, I for SURE know more than you do! Because if you knew and truly cared about animals and their welfare, you wouldn’t be talking like PETA. Here’s a trick to other disability activists: learn about animal welfare by volunteering on farms and educating yourself on breeders and the industry rather than getting involved in PETA! And another critical trick: NEVER compare animals to people! That’s exactly what the freaks that think any living thing with a deformity that should die are doing. These people would clutch their pearls the moment they hear farms cull undesirable animals bc they can’t afford to keep every single one and have to streamline their breeding and raising to what will help keep the farm running. That doesn’t mean these farmers want to do the same to people, because the animal is NOT a person and doesn’t live like one. Our lives are not even remotely comparable! People like OP are the people that keep a wild bird with an amputated wing alive bc in their mind it would be insinuating all amputees should die if the bird is put down, and next thing the bird is on the Dodo as inspiration porn. Duex Face is an exception to two headed animals, not the rule. Don’t tell me to do my research when you’re spouting talking points from people that have caused more problems for animals as a whole second only to the commercialization of animal industry. Maybe you need some research (field research) instead! They’re going to block me and I’m assuming that’s why I can’t rb the post anymore even if I wanted to (like I said I didn’t want to start a fight so like. I’m not going to be yelling and acting like an asshole. I swore a bit in the tags initially bc I feel very strongly about how animal rights activists have fucked up disability activism by acting like there’s equivalency in our existences, but that’s not targeted. Most was going to respond telling them that if they feel this strongly they need to be reading more about the animal industry rather than relying on people that are in no way experts on animals talking as an authority on them, and using that to tie with their human rights activism as if animals rights and humans rights are even remotely the same in any way. Whatever though at least the tags are there if anyone who cares enough actually reads them and thinks about them. Will most likely just attract militant vegans and ARAs like the op but whatever)
#ableism tw#why are people caring more about animal rights than human rights. acting like an animal has the same existence a human does#why aren’t we instead pointing and making books about the HUMAN eugenics happening right in front of our eyes.#why do we have to talk through fantasized anthropromorphized animals#why do you people have to imagine an animal feels like you do in order for people to care.#to an extent I’m sure there is a level to which you can say ‘yeah this person is ableist’ judging by how they talk about outside subjects#and I agree that the people who want Deux Face put down are ignorant and a few likely are ableist#but treating it like there is ZERO NUANCE and that every person who holds concern for whether the animal is suffering or not is ableist#is ignorant and harmful#this situation is way way more than what op made it out to be and you can already see in the replies how ARAs have latched onto it#to get on their soapbox and declare that anyone that treats animals as anything less than human are ableist eugenists#(while simultaneously disrespecting people that are actually living through those situations aka comparing animal culling to a Holocaust.)#it doesn’t matter if you’re part of the demographic that’s being harmed and you have no problem with it you don’t speak for all of us#and despite being an activist you CAN be misinformed and fueled by bias!#if animals are fur babies with human emotions to you than of course you will prefer the ‘beast of burden’ argument#I’ll check that book out honestly. would be good to know how to refute what OP built their beliefs off of
