#decent-behavior

[thepersonalwords]

Teach your little ones about the rules of decent behaviour. When they grow up, it will be too late to learn.

can't believe i'm saying this, but please don't let literal nazi shit slide in the slenderverse fandom. i just saw habit and firebrand drawn together with literal swastikas on it and i'm not gonna name names, but if you see that shit, please report it. you can't let antisemitism slide for even an inch, because if you do, you're sending the signal that nazism and antisemitism is welcome in your circles, and that jewish people are not. it's not a joke, it's not cute or ironic, and it's certainly not appropriate for ship art with a jewish guy. use your brain.

THEY DID IT. THEY SAVED THE TOWN

A few interesting details about Turbo Granny I've only noticed when they have been adapted into anime (some light spoilers, I guess):

Despite a minute later calling Aira's death not surprising and every effort to revive her useless - in a very blunt, cold manner at that - she is the one that brought it up in the first place as something more important than the ball. If it was so expected and now not worth the effort, you'd think it wouldn't distract her from "practical concerns" that much.

She does actually call an ambulance. With her little doll paws.

None of that is earth-shattering in any way, but it does flesh out the kind of person she is - someone who cares (we know she cares a lot), but can't express it sincerely at all. Who then talks rudely, pretends to be cool-headed and heartless, and dunks on others for caring.

And someone who is so profoundly scared of being useless and abandoned, of not doing or not being enough, she takes every opportunity to do whatever little things she can. She never actually stops helping them out despite the incessant grumbling and despite no one really expecting anything from her. And then she narrows her eyes and strikes a cool pose whenever she is helpful.

Hi, just saying, DMs exist for a reason, and if you're going to shit on fics/writers on tumblr dot com where they could VERY easily see it, maybe just don't? Have a shred of empathy and just imagine what it might feel like if you came across someone talking about you and something you were proud of one day. And no, obviously I'm not talking about fics that are racist. I'm talking about ones that just aren't to your taste. Nobody's saying you have to like them. Nobody's saying you have to read them. Just don't be a fucking dick about them in public.

I'm not one to care about the private lives of famous folks or even get into what gets posted on social media by them or their teams. With what's come out about Neil Gaiman, I wonder if I need to modify that behavior a bit.

While I followed him here on tumblr, I didn't follow him early on. I don't think I started fully checking out his work until the Good Omens came out on Amazon Prime, though I had read the book as a teen. I never got into any of his other works until after the televised version of Good Omens.

One of the things that I read that was pointed out was that was creepy was this whole books in the bath trend on tumblr in 2012 where people (mostly women and very likely some minors) would post themselves reading Neil Gaiman books in a bathtub and he was on board with it and reblogging posts. It's even more ugh inducing knowing what's been described in terms of this predatory behavior in that Vulture article that came out...last month? (This month? What is time? January has lasted a mortal age)

I found a reddit post with info and a link to the start of the trend and ew. It makes me wonder if I had been aware of his willingness to be a participant in this by reblogging the tumblr blog and some of the people who were posting these images, would I have been open to seeing Good Omens and getting into more of his work. Or would it have seemed innocuous because he doesn't seem to be avidly encouraging / reblogging publicly.

do you ever realize after masking intentionally and unintentionally so much in your life, you completely forget who you are.. and how it feels like every time you mimic someone you lose a part of yourself and personality. and fear you’ll never figure out who you are or who you were once.

yeah.

anyway pictures of moth !!!

Grooming time!

Pre-groom dread

Bath time

side note: I do think it's hilarious that without fail, every single dog that's getting a bath looks like they're having the worst day of their life even tho they're mostly just a bit annoyed most of the time

being blow dried with a long lasting treat

stink eye

post bath playtime but pre groom

AFTER TWO HOURS

Might do some more touch ups on him tomorrow, we're both tired XD

Milou is clean!

just to make sure we are all on the same page in this corner of the internet, i want to be explicitly clear about my stance/feelings on some things:

if i come across "content"/fic in this niche that i absolutely do not like, do not vibe with, am not interested in, that icks me out completely and totally—i scroll past it as quickly as i can and i move on with my day.

in the case that it's "content"/fic that really bothers or triggers me in any way, i make sure that i have blacklisted/blocked certain tags and keywords so that in the future i may not come across those things again.

i also understand that there is a variety of tags used throughout the internet and that websites are not perfect/things slip through the cracks. people are also human, and mistakes are also made.

in the event i am exposed to something that i do not want to see, point blank, i would never and will never believe it is my right to harass and terrorize the person writing said thing/s, and if i witness this kind of behavior being celebrated among the people around me, whoever you are, i will be removing you from my space.

to be perfectly and abundantly clear: i will always be a supporter of dark content, and its right to be written. even if i don't understand it, even if it "disgusts" me, even if i never want to read it.

please understand that i do not say this with hostility, nor do i mean it as a threat or to be confrontational. you should protect the space that you are in; this is me doing that, this is me making sure that you do that, even if it's against me.

I'm probably going to post about this on the MW subreddit, but I still find it pretty hilarious that most fans assume the "struggles" Jimbalaya was dealing with back on Earth were related to criminal acts (usually in order to demonize Curly) meanwhile most of the pieces of clues I've gathered from the HFIM dlc and the QnAs we got about the characters' lives have lead me to believe Jimbalaya's struggles were about poverty.

In the HFIM dlc we're pretty clearly playing a fish version of Jimbalaya, and the whole game is about how a capitalistic system ruins people (fish) and those that climb up help perpetuate the system and those that go down just get eaten. So it's pretty interesting to me that Jimbalaya fish even after consuming other fish and items... keeps going down.

But it was the third QnA that sealed it for me. Curly's hobbies are around a lot of friends and family that he could join interesting things. And of course play snow sports in Winter. Winter snow sports... which let's be honest is a pretty expensive hobby to have. Meanwhile, Jimbalaya can't afford any hobbies other than joining one with Curly.

I think this kinda just adds more fuel for Jimbalaya to both envy yet aspire to be like Curly.

I dunno, it's just fascinating to me watching so many fans claim the "struggles" were so obviously to do with crime when most of the current evidence I noticed seems to point towards money related issues.

I think both are valid and valuable interpretations that’s the MW fandom makes but I think the major problem with it is the severity in which they make Jimmy out to be every factor wrong with men in society.

Like I think it’s interesting to use the idea he has some record, misdemeanors/petty stuff, that has complied to make his life more difficult. It’s all his own doing for his entitlement and general behavior but it can also be used to comment on Capitalism banking on desperation and envy. A lot of his actions are desperate because he knows his crimes on the Tulpar will make it virtually to climb any ladder, anywhere anymore due to their weight. Like in the end the problem is undeniably how the proverbial rat race creates environments that fosters Jimmy’s and creates ineffective systems like Curly represents.

Curly on the other hand benefits from the corporate part of it with his financial freedom, stability and prestige but he too is socially stagnant, deeply unhappy in the identities placed on to him and unrecognizable as anything other than a cog in the machine. I think this goes in tandem with the other members too as the identities placed onto them in the scenario all represent stages in capitalism and class discrepancies: Anya represents largely marginalized identities (particularly women in blue collar fields/harassment) and how they ultimately have to fend for themselves. Daisuke a sort of perception of both a class between Curly and the rest, protected no matter the effects of the establishment due to his home life but at the same time he is the metaphorical future gen, things stripped from him as the older generations squabble amongst themselves in private conversations leaving him unequipped. Then there’s Swansea being sort of those who have lived through it, knowing how it ends but ultimately still lack the skills, resources and want to change it, letting it cycle.

The entire thing with Jimmy circles back to the fandom ultimately wanting easy solutions to the events in the games, a face to blame and a weird black and white thinking to issues that are dangerous to view that way.

Omg your instagram story is so right! I can’t believe I’ve never even noticed that, probably because in fanon keith and shiro are so close that I’d forgotten that isn’t canon :0

Deserves this awesome quote which I had to dig out of my sideblog reblogs

Law and Luffy feel like the type to just. Get into WAY too graphic detail about their sex lives/ their respective partners. Kid has shriveled up on the floor and died from listening to this. Save him.

mommy (killer) pick him up please, he doesnt want to hear about roronoa being a throat goat
