it really goes to show how i curate my fandom experience bc i had no idea people were campaigning for 'canon' spirk in SNW
for all intents and purposes spirk is already canon. what do we gain from a love confession? from a kiss? when we already have literally ALL of star trek iii. how many times does kirk need to say that his and spock's soul are the same? was his massive sacrifice not enough, only to tell sarek that "what i have done, i had to do... if i hadn't, the cost would've been my soul." how one of the final shots in the movie is them literally MIRRORING each other.
spirk are soulmates first and they're already canonically like that in tos and the movies. it's so frustrating it's such a shallow understanding of their tos relationship. one of the beauties of it is how difficult it is to give it one label, yet it's so obvious they have a deep love and respect for each other. they are soulmates and friends and comrades and allies. they are two parts of the same soul. we've known this for decades.
#this is another old man yells at cloud thing i know#but i'm begging folks to like. learn basic media analysis#is your understanding of media so shallow that someone has to come out and say 'we are in love' for you to understand it?#especially when kirk has said over and over that spock's soul and his are linked? that spock's soul should've been his burden to carry?#come ON please use your brain#how many of these folks have even watched tos#ren speaks

taking all my american followers by the shoulders. listen to me. just because you have a more promising candidate now doesn't mean you just assume it's going to be fine and don't bother voting. assuming trump wasn't going to win is how you got here in the first place so you go out and fucking vote for harris and give everyone a fighting chance.
also if you're still in the 'they're both as bad as eachother' delirium, please take your head out from between your cheeks and consider that your options are an imperfect president and the literal worst person alive who is going to get masses of people killed. i've said it like this before, but it's like deciding between maybe getting food poisoning or definitely having a brain aneurysm. take your pick i guess but don't be surprised when you drop dead.
#ramble#sorry to keep posting about this but i am so worried about this fucking election#which is crazy bc it's not even my country#idk there's just lots of people i don't want to be horribly killed or tortured#i was really afraid when it was biden but you have a BIT of hope now#the 'burn it down and start again' revolution isn't coming you have to use your brains please#not to be dramatic but if you think harris and trump are the same you might be the actual dumbest person walking on earth#when we look back on stuff in history and say 'i would've spoken up. how did nobody stop this?'#this is how you stop it.

Really I think nothing shouts "my first Presidential election as a politically active person was 2016" more than the fact that when I feel hope and excitement for the future (possible President Harris) for more than five minutes I immediately get a crushing, all-consuming anxiety of "feeling this positive emotion now is going to make it so much worse when the worst thing possible happens" to the extent that I'll probably need my break-glass-in-case-of-emergency anxiety medication.
#politics#us politics#kamala harris#donald trump#2016 election#2024 elections#personal post#I can't feel any hope about politics without my brain reflexively shutting it down in case things get too nice before the fall#I know Harris has flaws#But I just like her--she's more progressive and feels joy and isn't shy about hating Trump#But then my brain is like “do not get attached or The Pain will be worse later”#This happened in 2020 too---I couldn't believe it when we won I was so busy preparing for the worst#harris for president#democrats#vote democrat#seriously vote democrat#If you are following me or reading my fic and capable of voting in the US election and are not voting Democrat please feel free to fuck off#You're the reason Trump won in 2016 and if you prove my anxiety brain right I hope all your food comes out burnt for the rest of your life#good thing I have therapy tomorrow

Nora I just saw a whole ass TikTok about dnp being in a qpr. I can’t do this anymore
nobody will erase gay relationships more than internet users trying to be inclusive
#sometimes....... people are just in oldschool boring ass relationships#it's not even that i don't get where they're coming from it's just like#why would two people who Have dated and who've talked about romance many times throughout the years#suddenly be like. what if we stayed together and just stopped the romantic part. yknow the part we both enjoy a lot? lets remove that#but keep everything else the same#use your brains please#answered

Two all 2 people who follow my tumblr
GUYS THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT
If you’re of voting age in the US and not registered, PLEASE REGISTER NOW!
I’m endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
The fact that’s it’s even close makes me sick to my stomach.
You can disagree with Harris or Biden or their administration on a lot of things, but not seeing that she is clearly the better option is scary.
Queer people’s lives depend on this.
If you care about us, PLEASE VOTE
If you are mad at Harris for not stopping the genoc1de, remember that Trump will absolutely not stop it either and that he’s a moron who no one respects. I’d rather have a g3nocide overseas and have queer people (and poor people, women, poc) in the US protected than have a g3nocide overseas and not have them protected.
And if you say “well Roe v Wade overturned and other conservative laws happened under Biden” Remember this was the CONSERVATIVE supreme court that did this. And another Trump term will make the court even worse for decades. The implications of this are huge.
People are on the fence, it’s simple. If you care about your queer, disabled, poc, poor, female loved ones VOTE HARRIS. If you’re centrist and won’t vote because you don’t care you’re a pushover and a coward. If you’re farther left and think she isn’t left enough, yes you have a point but this is all we have, PLEASE use your brain and stop being chronically online and self impressed.
I don’t care if I lose followers for this at this point, I’m just out here doing everything I can, not to panic and want to hide who I am. A lot of people don’t have the options to move to another state let alone country and we just want to live.
I’m lucky to live in a very safe state but I’m still terrified.
Please care about us. Please vote.
#kamala harris#tim walz#vote harris#Harris is the only option#use your brains#harris 2024#please care about us#lgbtq#abortion#autism#you’re allowed to criticize her but come on be senseible trump is way worse#like seriously use your brains#tired of chronically online leftists who won’t suck it up and vote for someone just because they’re so stuck up#like about Palestine I get it#I support Palestine but trump won’t help them either#do people not understand??#there’s only two options and staying home or writing in is bad in an election this close#like one option is clearly better for us#only one option#if you care#please#i’m begging#i’m serious#if trump wins I’m gonna lock myself in my literal closet#the panic in my chest daily#I’ve started praying again even tho a god who lets trump live clearly abandons us a long time ago#that’s how desperate I am#but I think we’re on our own#please just suck it up and worry about the other stuff after the election#like actually gonna blame y’all dumb people if orange man wins

can we all remember to just say 'oh no thank you, i dont like that kind of food' but apply that logic and rules to shipping and letting other people ship again
#my t#dirkhal#yes im tagging this because thats what this is about#i see the start of another stupid fucking morality-based ship war in this tag and im not here for it#dirkhal is historically considered stridercest#using stridercest as an umbrella term#it doesnt mean the -cest part has to mean incest if you dont want it to. it can absolutely mean selfcest#davedavesprite is also concidered stridercest but its much more in line with dirkhal in that its selfcest. see the logic?#but like#can yall be fucking nice to your neighbours weve been here for a long time and havent been hurting anyone#if you can come to terms with the thought of dirkhal with hal/AR CANONICALLY being a brain clone of a 13y/o dirk#when we have no actual solid evidence to prove that he ages like dirk does in his physical body#then you can learn to share a fucking tag. because nothing in stridercest mirrors actual irl criminal or harmful activity#because its playing with dolls. we're all playing with our barbies and ponies here#and the problem with all of us trying to play w/ our barbies and ponies is that some very scared people see other ppl enjoying making ponie#kiss and they start screaming and trying to take all of our toys away when they dont actually have a monopoly on any of these toys. we shar#we share. that is what we do in fandom. theres an infinite amount of ways to interpret dirkhal#if you dont apply this logic to fans who enjoy things like game of thrones then dont do it here#take a step back and breath. we're all being normal. youre being a bad guest. please learn to share again. youre not being hurt#having a reaction to art is not actually Being Hurt

heyo! i learned a new word today and thought i'd share cause it sounds like a word you'd like
the word is apricity and its an old English word meaning "the warmth of the sun in winter" :]
-🍁
leaf anon ur spot on the money i have instantly fallen in love with this word right now immediately. If anyone sees this show up in one of the next hunger au chapters you know EXACTLY who to blame /DEEPLY SILLY
#shouting speaks#asks#fr one of those moments where i go starry eyed like OHHH I GOTTA USE THAT HOLY SHIT#guys i love words theyre so fun#my touys.....#actually okay a peek behind the curtain of my brain for u rq#my immediate thought for this is how apricity looks similar to and shares the same suffix with *reciprocity*#theres an immediate connection there in my mind; the warmth of the winter sun as a reciprocal gesture almost.. like a hug being returned#theres wordplay opportunities in that and so whenever i use this word#i will look for places to make that happen very intentionally#using different words in place of what would normally be there to evoke a particular image and FEELING is a very big aspect of my writing#i did this in uhhhh i think chap 9??? or 10??? of hunger au with the word ''dredge''#if you read it over its meant to take advantage of the similarities in sound to the word ''dread''#theres an upcoming one in chap 11 where i replace ''pose'' with ''poise'' because they look similar and share roots#but ''poise'' comes with additional connotations in the sentence that push like three different layers into it#im normal. im so normal guys please stick your dictionary in the bars of my cage i wont bi[PAPER SHREDDING SOUNDS]#txt

the fact that most of the people in this fandom don’t even seem to like the books😭if you didn’t enjoy canon why the fuck are you here. fandom is for nerds. this “fuck canon, canon doesn’t matter, well sirius and remus were ~straight~ in canon so i hate it!” shit is actively anti nerd. deeply annoying and also not even technically true.
#marauders era#anti marauders fanon#anti marauders fandom#harry potter#Post#vent#“Sirius and Remus were straight in canon” show me the paragraph where it says that🤨 oh you can’t#Just because our heteronormative society wants you to assume everyone is straight until proven otherwise doesn’t mean you have to#🫢#shit jkr said on twitter long after all the books were published doesn’t matter guys what are you people on about#“Death of the author” until it means you can say “well jk meant for all the characters to be cishet and white so we can fundamentally#Mischaracterize the marauders and co all we want”#Use your own goddamn brain and come up with interpretations for yourself please#Fandom started because of love of canon why are you so intent on denying that

I love Kalim with my whole heart (probably because I'm not that poor and genuinely like people like him) but I'm still reading Playful Land Book 5 and can't get over the fact that:
KALIM. YOU CAN LITERALLY JUST FLOOD THE STAGE. WHO CARES ABOUT PROPERTY DAMAGE BY THIS POINT. YOU'RE LITERALLY FIGHTING THE PARK MANAGER ANYWAYS. JUST SUMMON A BUTTLOAD OF WATER AND IMMOBILIZE EVERYONE OMFG....
#twst#kalim al asim#twst kalim#Kalim I love you but PLEASE USE YOUR BRAIN#THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO ORTHO#YOU'RE LITERALLY A SUPERCOMPUTER OF A BOY PLEASE JUST COME UP WITH SOMETHING BETTER THAN JUST SIT THERE#I love these boys but GOD they're so STUPID (affectionate)#twisted wonderland

I have not posted any of my analysis to reddit yet and I think I might just post it and ghost it. I've already spent too much time looking at other people's threads on there to feel any way good about interacting with folks.
I already went in an added the "I know you're going to bring this up let me save you the time" section which is exclusively touching on the frequent topics of:
"well what about the fingerprint nostrum and finger mimics? He is clearly just a crackpot"
And
"it's definitely some weird elaborate sacrifice to Metyr thing"
#if he's drinking hallucinogenic tea in his free time genuinely good for him. whatever man. i just do not think either of those items are-#at all relevant to the quest especially the nostrum because it is a placebo medicine and aint nothing fake about this shit#also i think theres a distinction between becoming fingers vs wanting to replace metyr? idk like as ive said i think he thinks he's-#better than the fingerweavers and rightfully so#like please come to a new conclusion other than “man this guy is on drugs”#also girl... metyr doesnt need sacrifices. like? where is that textually or in set design? metyr wants us to leave her the fuck alone#she's minding her own business EVERY TIME WE SPAWN INTO HER ZONE#like why are people so desperate for everything to have a dark undercurrent? not everything has to be some dark disney ass shit#“actually finding nemo is a hallucination & Marlin is insane & nemo is dead that movie is actually super fucked up & dory is a grim reaper”#like im sorry but this is how this extra shit all feels to me#like it is already fucked up and miserable?#is he 100% a good person? like thats genuinely person to person. theres personal gain from the quest#and hes definitely very good at getting what he wants#manipulate manifest mother#tail fingers on the vision board#devon yaps#and yap I did#like I don't want to be a bitch because yeah we should genuinely celebrate other peoples theories and hcs in these games#but i dont think “lol this guy is just on drugs” is one of those things#because i like spooky theories if theyre backed up.#but to say “its this weirdly horrible thing and youre all wrong” especially in his context is not great to me#Sorry. like may my own arrogance strike me down like the scholar i think i am 😤 farewell#because again its coming down to meeting this narrative without preconceived bias and most of the reddit stuff feels like-#“he is fucked up. won't say why. but i bet you know why i actually think this 🤫🤫🤫” like just you cant wrap your brain around guy mom#i do really want to reiterate this is about reddit shit. like i am so into people who love his character but interpret him more sinister💕😚#truly eating that shit up

Eddie is embarrassed when he accidentally admits to Steve that he’s never had a valentine before. His face goes all red and he’s preparing himself for the laughter that was going to follow. Eddie remembers all of those times when a plethora of girls would come to school just to give Steve cards and chocolates during their first period. Then he’d have a girl by his side by the end of the day heading towards his car, Eddie remembers those days very clearly. So telling Steve who’s probably never spent Valentine’s Day alone that he’s never had one was killing him on the inside. Surprisingly Steve didn’t really care about that since technically this would be the first time he didn’t have a valentines either. It never clicked to Eddie that both of them were spending Valentine’s Day together until Steve put on this romance movie then dimming the lights a little before sitting extremely close to Eddie on the couch. Eddie just assumed that this was a guys night that coincidentally fell on February 14th?
He was highly mistaken.
#steddie#steddie headcanon#steddie hcs#Eddie use your brain#Eddie is a himbo too#silly goose Eddie#smooth Steve#wonder what they’re watching#😏#steve harrington#eddie munson#stranger things#idk what else to tag#help lol#please#come on#manifesting#power#so cuuuute#hmmm#lmaooooooo#that is so funny#wow#hmmmmm#omfg#i know what you are#be for real#duffer brothers i swear#i’m tiiiiiired#headcanon

i've been diving a lot deeper into adhd symptoms and comorbidities and misdiagnoses and whenever i tell my boyfriend something i learned that sounds like me he responds with something like
#idk he knows me more than anyone bc i can't hide the parts i'm ashamed of from him#last night he was like. yeah EYE think you have adhd but i'm just some guy#idk i'm excited about this not because i want to be Quirky for internet reasons. yknow. but bc i've felt like an impostor of a human being#and i have no sense of self and i can't get myself to do basic tasks and the thought of doing something i don't want to do#genuinely makes me want to throw up/my brain shuts down/i can't think or talk or function to the point where i can't work.#so i can't support myself. so i feel terrible about myself. and i've been in and out of therapy for 20 years and have numerous diagnoses#that have never really felt like they fully encapsulate what's going on. and like. i've kinda just internalized that i'm not as good at#being a person as everyone else because i struggle so so much. like yeah i did well in school but i had to sacrifice literally everything#else to do that. idk how everyone else is managing to have a job and hobbies and friends#i get to pick like. one now. i used to be able to juggle everything to some degree although i felt like i was being careless in all areas#except school. i'm so scared of making mistakes or starting anything or talking to new people or trying new hobbies#because i know it won't interest me more than a couple weeks MAX and i'll feel listless and restless again#and i've come to understand this as part of who i am at my core. i'm just someone who can't commit and isn't reliable or a good friend#i just want so badly for that not to be the case because i want so badly to not be stuck like this#idk im going home to talk to my dad this weekend and just rest because i'm really really not doing well#which is why i'm scrambling to try to figure out what's going on with me because idk how much longer i feasibly can do this#and i might be moving back to the pnw bc therapists in pa don't work with medicaid#and no psychiatrists near me are taking new patients. and i can't work to get on private insurance. but therapists in or do work w medicaid#so idk. again if youre diagnosed w adhd and this sounds not like someone who is consuming social media brain rot content about adhd#but rather someone whose experiences you identify with. please let me know. please please#i am reaching out to professionals also but things move slowly and i'm trying to compile evidence so i don't sound like i'm making it up

i would like to stop experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions every day please. putting this out into the universe
#had suchhh a good workday. had hot pot with my roommate where we talked about our quarter life crises#and then came home and had a 3 hour screaming match with both of my parents where i said i was cutting them out of my life#it turns out. my dad still does not understand what the word bi means even tho his fucking wife is bi#he was like 'so you marry someone and six months later you see someone else you like and u go marry them instead?'#like genuinely. truly trying to understand#and that shocked me enough to stop crying#do not reblog please#like in hindsight it is SO funny#and that was the point where i was like. wait is this not malice#this is homophobia but i don't think it's malice#anyways we're all Ok now#we've agreed that i'm going to do what i want#and even if they're unhappy they're still gonna have a relationship with me#and they'll figure out how to adjust#my brother periodically came into the room and also screamed at my parents#i feel bad for them a lil bit. like they're not bad people#after he left my mom told me that a week and a half ago#my brother came into her room and told her that when she died he would bury her in a grave instead#of the traditional last rites (cremation rituals etc etc)#if she wouldn't accept me#and my mom said she was on a bunch of meds cause she's sick so she was so out of it it didn't even register what he was going on about#and then today after that convo she was like WAIT A MIN WHAT THE FUCK DID THIS BOY SAY TO ME#funniest 16 year old u could have on your side#truly he kept coming into the room every 5 min and going HEY HAVE YOU BOTH CONSIDERED NOT BEING HOMOPHOBIC. HAVE YOU.#HEY CAN U TELL YOUR DAUGHTER YOU STILL LOVE HER MAYBE??? THINK??? USE YOUR BRAIN???#this is why i would die for this kid#he's the best#he's such an idiot most of the time but when he's not being an idiot he's my favorite person on earth#don't tell him that tho anyone please#he'll hold it against me forever and ever as siblings do
