#don’t let those people win

Okay I’ve seen multiple posts about people being upset about the recently uptake in drama and being scared to post fics and I’m not about that at all.
So here’s my take (that no one asked for):
I know this is easier said than done but don’t let the drama stop you from having fun. Don’t let someone who wants to be miserable steal your joy. People will always try to make things bad for others just so they can have a better time. It happens. But never let that stop you.
People aren’t witch-hunted for fics without a somewhat valid reason. The rule with fics has always been and should always be read what you like and if you don’t like it leave. But we as writers should also remember that we need to tag things correctly.
Sensitive topics, in my opinion, should be tagged. If you feel like it spoilers something make it clear that there will be something that could be a sensitive topic for readers.
As for forgetting to tag something. That happens. If you, as a reader, notice that a writer hasn’t tagged something the best thing you can do is send them a DM/ask to let the writer know that you think XYZ should be tagged. This is nothing we need to get upset about simply a matter of communication.
The bottom line of this is talk to each other and don’t let people who want to be miserable take your fun away.
#I’m going to need you all to understand that some people just want to be miserable#they will do whatever they can to spread their bs mood#even if that means dragging others down with them#don’t let those people win#I’m speaking from experience here

i ship kyle with like 5 different people but the most important thing to understand about him is that he has never and will never get over alex and if she came back to life he would drop everything to be with her without a second thought
#aouguagh……. kylealex#he’s said no every time he’s been offered the chance to bring her back just because in those cases it means the villain wins#and he just won’t let anyone else be hurt because of him#but! if he had to choose between the ring and alex. i think he’d choose alex#there is a story in my head where ion alex from another universe comes over and starts killing people#and kyle goes um ok??? she probably has a good reason. maybe killing people is her hyperfixation. don’t judge her she’s done nothing wrong

it’s so insane how some of the ot6 fans are reacting to the news of seunghan coming back because i think for a while, they really thought they won. they thought he was gonna be another idol who was gonna get kicked out for doing normal human shit that for some reason, bothers them to the core. things he did PRE DEBUT were bothersome to this people.
but then, he came back. if it wasn’t for the members constantly supporting him behind the scenes and the fans who were constantly reminding sm that they cared about him and wanted him back then maybe this wouldn’t happen and it’s truly sad to think how these crazy fans who have no life almost controlled the narrative yet again.
i am glad seunghan was not another victim of this. it must have taken a lot of courage and self determination to continue despite being slandered by the media and the ot6 fans and also other kpop stans. all of this to say, that i hope another situation like this doesn’t happen again. it’s too normal in this industry to punish idols for being human but i hope this starts a shift in the right direction
#i was just thinking abt this#i’ve seen so many of these ot6 korean stans talking shit#and harassing him but sending death wreaths to sm#(apparently they are gonna be fined for it lmfaooo)#but yeah i was just thinking about how people#punish idols for small things#and then think they are victorious when they kick them out#these companies just let that shit happen and it’s all bc#these fans are too parasocial and have no life#and for some reason their opinion matters more than#the opinion of the majority of the fanbase#it’s annoying#i hate how this is normal and it truly makes no sense#i was one of those fans that was waiting for him to comeback#and even tho i was losing faith i always hoped that one day#we were gonna get a confirmation of anything#even i was fine with the idea of him leaving bc the past months#must have been harsh on him#and i don’t think anyone would want to comeback in these conditions#but i am glad he had support from the members#and was determined to keep going#all of this to say WE CANT LET WEIRDOS WIN !!!#and i hope after this situation shit starts to change#this is proof that if you keep pushing it brings results#tris.txt

LOVE when the pharmacy decides to fucking dick around with my meds so badly that now I’m off my mood stabilizer, my pain meds, and my fucking birth control (in a few days) because they’re insisting I should have extra fucking bottles of each one and I DONT because they don’t let me pick up more than a one month supply of narcotics at a fucking time so do explain where these extra bottles are, hmm ????? and they didn’t have enough caplyta ordered last time to even give me my usual 3 months supply of that so … ???? get your fucking heads out of your asses and give me the fucking meds you owe me ??? like ??? but I’m in a nasty headspace right now so if I call the pharmacy this morning, I’m going to be that cunt ass customer they bitch about all day because this isn’t the first time they’ve done this. in fact, the first time, they straight up committed insurance fraud by marking one of my scripts as filled and picked up WHEN, IN REALITY, THEY FUCKING LOST THE SCRIPT AND HAD NO RECORD OF IT BEING FILLED OR PICKED UP IN THEIR SYSTEM, BUT YET, MARKED IT AS SUCH AND CHARGED MY INSURANCE AN ALMOST 8 GRAND FOR THE FUCKING 3 MONTHS OF MY MOOD STABILIZER THAT I. NEVER. RECEIVED. I’m genuinely about to report this entire pharmacy to the pharmacy board because I’m so fucking done with this place. it needs to be shut the fuck down because you’re telling me, out of an entire pharmacy, y’all share the same IQ point AND dead brain cell, collectively ??? then don’t fucking work in healthcare where people rely on you to know your shit and keep track of their fucking meds because you’re just constantly making shit worse on people since you can’t seem to not fuck around with these meds and not ‘lose’ scripts. fuck out of here.
and I’m pretty much out of weed, which is usually my back up pain management method, without the money to afford a delivery order by their cut off time to order in 3 hours because I just paid my fucking bills and have SOME to go towards it, but not enough for delivery to be free, and I’d still have to walk my ass to one of the ATM’s nearby because they don’t accept my bank as a prepaid method OR any of the cards I have on my person. 🫠
I can literally feel my back spasming and seizing on and off while I’m laying on my fucking side, I’ve had a migraine with a stupid ass aura for almost a week now because chronic migraines fucking suck and i was REALLY hoping this one would be over by now, my muscle inflammations that my pain meds are supposed to limit are already beginning to start their itching deep in my muscles so soon they’ll blossom into a whole fibromyalgia fucking episode and become entirely inflamed, my joints in my hands fucking hurt because of the dreary weather so I really need to get into a rheumatologist at some point soon as well and get that shit figured out, I’m nauseas as fuck from all the pain, and I’m moody, hormonal, and just feel like fucking death physically.
I’m just. I give up.
this shit is exhausting and painful and so mentally fucking taxing to constantly deal with and I just want a fucking break from all this fucking shit. I wish I could just … not exist … for even just a little while with how fucking painful existing actually feels right now 🫠😭
#i hate that CT weed is so fucking expensive#half a fucking ounce shouldn’t cost me $250 …….. not when I can go to MA and get an ounce for $108 after tax ……..#but I don’t have a way to MA because my fucking best friend. who made plans with me OVER THE WEEKEND. HER. SHE INITIATED THEM.#canceled on me last second even though I texted her early the night before when I know she would see it 🫠#nope instead she waited from the text I sent at 6:30pm until noon the next day to cancel because her period is kicking her ass#NOT FOR FUCKING NOTHING BUT SO THE HELL IS MINE ???? AND IM ANEMIC ??? AND DEALING WITH ALL THIS EXTRA PAIN ON TOP OF IT ????#and I know I’m being irrational and insensitive because pain tolerance is a sliding scale for everyone#but like fucking come on you do this 3 out of 4 times YOU make the plans to hang out and I’m fucking over it.#plus I’m the one that always pays for everything and does she ever even OFFER to hit me back for the COUNTLESS ounces of weed I’ve got her#all because she couldn’t afford it so I said I’d cover it and she never paid me back. I’ve bought her at least a grand’s worth of weed#just over the last couple months and she’s never ONCE offered to pay me back for a single one#like ……… I don’t expect it. I give if I have it. but you can’t even just offer ??? like the invitation to pay me back would be enough to no#leave m ragingly pissed off and feeling used as an atm again for yet another ‘friend’ because they don’t even OFFER to be considerate#of course I’d say not to worry about it but it doesn’t even cross your fucking head to ask if I want anything towards it#like the next time you get paid ??? when you go and spend your own money on weed that day but can’t reimburse me for anything IVE paid for#oh and I always have to give her gas money if I even simply just want to hang out because she’s always fucking broke somehow#and she works in healthcare like bitch I know what you make and you can’t play that you don’t have enough to get by or throw me 50 bucks#towards YOUR weed that I’m buying every once in a fucking while when I’m already paying for everything fucking else#I’m so angry and I know I’m being irrational and bitchy but this is what happens when you’re tripped off your meds cold turkey#and one of them is a mood stabilizer that makes it so you DONT feel this way about people and aren’t so bitter when you’re let down 🫠🫠🫠#because now my rejection sensitive dysphoria is going to be triggered even easier than usual and I’m just.#I actually fucking give up. I don’t even know what to do here. the pain going through my body is so fucking intense#I keep losing my train of thought because everything hurts and then every once in a while a DIFFERENT pain acts up and throws itself in too#I just. I just can’t fucking win.#I hate fucking struggling with my mental state like this when I’m off my meds.#and because I have to be a month without my stabilizer/pain management/birth control it’s going to take me ANOTHER month to get readjusted#to those in my body so I won’t feel normal again until nearly fucking mid to end January the earliest#and that’s fucking bullshit. I’m going to fucking **** myself by the time I get back on these fucking meds since it’ll take that long#fucking hell I just. I give up. I give in. I’m self isolating and cutting myself off from everyone because it’ll be in THEIR best interest#for me to do so when I can’t control my mind like this. I’m so tired of feeling so fucking shitty and I’ve only been off them for two days

Digitalised + coloured + redesigned version of my Suiren and Vaatu sketch from two days ago, as promised!!
Coming up with Suiren’s design was a very long process of trying and failing because after you’ve drawn 9+ different versions of one character, the creativity starts to run a little dry, but I’m actually really proud of this one, she looks absolutely adorable <3
(Also yeah I did mostly just scribble Vaatu’s pattern because who has the energy to draw the all out accurately. Not me, that’s who, I’m chronically tired. People who draw him on the regular have my utmost respect. He’s still a funky little guy though :D)
Bonus, Raava incessantly screaming inside Suiren (and being completely ignored because Suiren is tired of her) while all this is happening:
#and yeah I did say I’d do a fuckass background but all my energy went to figuring out Suiren’s design#plus I suck at backgrounds so.. woe. LoK screenshot be upon ye#my art#artists on tumblr#the legend of korra#avatar suiren au#original character#sotrl suiren#vaatu#I don’t really know what to say in these tags lmao#usually I reach the tag limit really really easily but between my previous post and answering that ask I’ve ran out of things to say#someone please indulge me in this au I have Way Too Many Thoughts about it#hmm…#you know. I think people often make different avatar aus because they dislike Korra or think she’s a bad avatar#I don’t. I love Korra. I would kill and die for her#(says the red lotus stan. yes I’m well aware. no need to call me out)#and I think she’s a good avatar who was dealt a shitty hand both in universe and by the show’s production team#I’m making this au BECAUSE I love Korra. if Suiren is the avatar Korra gets to be a normal SWT girl#she’ll get to grow up with her parents. not isolated and degraded all the time for not being perfect. maybe she’d have a sibling or two#and Suiren gets spared her sotrl trauma too. win win for everyone!!#(I return Suiren gets the weight of the world on her shoulders lmao. but it’s fine. 1. she isn’t alone in it. she has her family#2. three quarters of the LoK threats are basically automatically eliminated for her. the RL are her parents. she fuses with Vaatu#and all she has to do to defeat Kuvira is to take her dress off 😁 /hj. basically. she’ll be okay. better than in sotrl at least)#also look. I love Suiren. she’s my dear child who’s been with me since I was 12. of course I wanna make her the main character in everything#and dark avatar Korra AUs have been done countless times before me. Kat’s doing one right now!! I just wanna do something that’s my own#and also I wanna focus less on pain and trauma for once and more on the sheer hilarity of the shenanigans that will occur post-fusion#cause this isn’t Adumbration where Korra lets Raava go and fuses with Vaatu instead. here Suiren’s got both of them at the same time#and they have 10000 years’ worth of grievances to air out. it’s like living with your divorced parents#trust me I would know. except mine aren’t divorced. they’re Worse and everyone wishes they’d just separate#anyway. that aside. Suiren’s not getting any sleep any time soon while those two duke it out

Wait hang on before I follow are you pr*ship or are you a good person
I mean I personally don’t think those two things are mutually exclusive but like idk dude I’m just blogging here
#generally speaking tho I do tend to believe that the stuff that people can enjoy in a fictional space doesn’t necessarily equate to things#they would enjoy in real life and I don’t pass any kind of blanket moral judgement on those who like or don’t like certain things in#particular if that’s what you’re asking. nor do I dogpile with any sort of moral judgement on fictional ideation like some kind of bible#belt mom who is crying because her kid fucking hates her because she won’t let her read carrie or something#no that ain’t me. I’ve even whacked off reading works by the marquis de sade#so like idk nonnie you be the judge it’s really up to you. I like to think I’m decent tho like I’ve never harassed anyone before which is#a huge win for this website

I love to think Capitano is extremely possessive/protective of his soldiers, send tweet—
#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//Aint played the quest; ain’t seen spoilers but I am sticking to this#hc; capitano#//Anywho#//He cares greatly for each individual fighting under him bc they tend to meet his brand of fight and strength#//Bc they EARNED his respect in ways most others could not; bc they were able to handle and meet his expectations#//People who don’t meet his standards/can handle being under his direction do keep getting cycled into his ranks; but they never last long#//But those who do manage to win him over; they might as well be considered extensions of himself#//He would otherwise send them away or duel them himself to get rid of them#//Assuming they themselves didn’t beg to be transferred off to someone else; after seeing what he expects of his men#//But yeah; those who stay with him; ESP the longer they do; are v special#//Any deaths; grievous injuries; or even slights to their honor are akin to challenging him#//And he will treat avenging them as such#//In his mind; he Refuses to let Death nor Fear take them—that is his sense of possessiveness#//His greatest enemies outside the more obvious#//For that same reason though; any perceived betrayals are dealt with very carefully and very mercilessly if proven guilty of it#//He does NOT give second chances

So am I supposed to pretend an all white alliance (plus jag) targeting the 3 remaining WOC who have a combined comp record of 1 (that one comp being a crapshoot) and have no real allies outside of each other isn’t suspicious
#bb25#like sorry but I can see where this season is going if blue/cirie/Felicia don’t win this hoh tonight#those people are already policing every single thing cirie and blue do like it’s getting weird#mind you there are 3 comp beasts left but let’s target blue who hasn’t won a comp and who’s only real ally is cirie

#I just want to reiterate that you’re allowed to think more than one thing at once#even if those things are contradictory!#I- for example- love Louis and am (mostly) excited to see this documentary#I am also sad that Freddie is involved#for a multitude of reasons#not least of which is the exploitation factor#I just… worry about that kind of exposure a lot#so many people who were like thrust into the public as children#grow up and say how much they hated that#so let’s say Louis is his dad. fine. okay. but why expose your kid like that?#the thing is- the really fucked thing is- he (Louis) can’t win#not including Freddie seems like the obvious choice#but imagine how people (mostly rads) would have been if he didn’t?#anyway- I can be excited and worn out and nervous and sad and frustrated all at the same time#and so can you!#you don’t have to feel one way#you can feel a hundred ways#just remember that

Mattresses, unbeknownst to many, are a lot like cars. Every year new ones roll out, they’re always tweaking and innovating and you’ll never find the same one you loved decades ago when buying a new one.
Where I sold mattresses had a three month return or exchange program for this reason. New beds take a while to break in, and they’re a big expense. Your body is used to the old one. So we made sure people were loving it. If a bed got returned we’d take it back, sanitize and clean it, then sell it again on clearance.
To sell these we always had to disclose what clearance meant to customers, and they had to sign that they knew what they were getting. (FYI, not every company is as… forthright about the used bed situation)
In clearance we had beds that were floor models, we had returns, and more rarely we had old models whose line had been discontinued. These clearance beds were always final sale, so a bed could only be sold twice.
Now, the manager at the store I was working at had realized a vital fact. Clearance beds in the warehouse didn’t sell, especially old models that salespeople weren’t familiar with. And even more especially in odd sizes, like twin extra longs. So he set up a split king on the showroom floor to exhibit clearance beds, pulling all those forgotten twin extra longs out onto the showroom.
Almost all of these were brand new discontinued models. Beds I’d never learned in training were exhumed to be displayed. The manufacturers had moved on to new lines and they’d been left behind. Why would he take such in interest in selling old stock, you might wonder? Because we made double commission on the sales margin of clearance beds, and if we’d had a bed long enough they dropped the cost in the system so it was a fucking cash cow to sell these. Even with huge discounts the commissions were wonderful so it was a win win.
When I got started I was jazzed about this program, I was so on board to sell weird old brand new beds and make a ton of money. I had a wonderful older couple come in, looking for a split king adjustable set. This was a white whale sale.
The current clearance models on the floor were a latex mattress that was brand new despite being of an age to start first grade, and a tempurpedic floor model. The couple laid down and it was like magic. They each loved the bed they’d laid down on. They wanted to buy the whole shebang.
I. Was. Thrilled. I told them about the clearance program and what that meant, and they weren’t bothered in the least. I wrote up the sale then dashed into the back, fizzing with excitement to tell my manager what I’d done.
“You sold the death bed?!” He asked in delight.
I pulled up short, my smile freezing in place. “What…?”
“Didn’t you check the notes?”
I hesitated for a long beat then slowly shook my head. You see, dear reader, all beds had a personal history. Every clearance bed had logs written up by the person who took the return, as well as warehouse crew after sanitizing. It helped us know what to expect when selling them. “Wasn’t it just a floor model? You said it was a floor model…”
He slowly shook his head. I checked the notes.
It turned out, it had been sold as a floor model. The first time. But the company had made an exception and taken it back as a return two months later. Why? Because it’s owner had passed away.
I stared at the computer in horror and my manager shrugged. “They signed the clearance form. Technically it was a floor model.”
“We know for a fact that a man died in that bed!”
“What they don’t know can’t haunt them,” he said philosophically.
The man came back a week later for more sheets, utterly delighted to tell me how well they were sleeping. I clamped my teeth down around the secret of the deathbed, choosing to let them love their new bed without the stigma. Only one person would be haunted by that deathbed, and it was me.
#ramblies#ffs foibles#that sale was over ten thousand dollars#and I made a thousand dollars in that one sale#I cried about it later because I couldn’t even conceive of making that much money#story#writing#funny

To me, the tragedy of Saiki Kusuo is that feels so responsible for saving the people around him, but will always try to justify that it was for his own benefit. It’s like the only way Saiki can accept that he can’t save or help everyone is by internalising that he’s “selfish” and “cares only about himself.”
Imagine being a kid with psychic powers, and you do so many little good deeds. Like you heal a classmate’s scraped knee (they get suspicious of you, so you mind control the world to make it normal.) You help your parents with doing chores (your family dehumanises you for it.) Your friend is getting bullied (you don’t remember the classroom blowing up.)
So you learn that you’re supposed to be kind and your powers can be used for good, but are simultaneously punished and belittled for using them.
You hear terrible thoughts all the time, and have seen the worst of humanity, long before you should even know what that means, and you can’t even save them. You can’t save every burning building, can’t correct your mistakes, can’t stop every disaster, but somehow you still feel this need to try anyway. You will fail.
So you don’t try. You are a selfish being who uses your powers only when it inconveniences you, specifically. You don’t need friends because they just create trouble for you. You’ll try to save them anyway.
#nah I never thought of it like that#I love Saiki sm btw he’s my son and I will coddle him until the end of time#I will coddle this boy who is my age 💀#anyway that’s besides the point#I’ve never noticed how much he really does for everyone around him#I knew he refused to make connections because of the burden of trouble#and the fact he can’t always win against those troubles#and that not everyone he knows can be helped#but yeah you’re right#he doesn’t realize how much he does do#and I don’t think he realizes how much he loves the people around him either#that’s ok though cause it’s a comedy#so let’s just ignore the rest of that 😁

drives me up a wall living in a very very red district, like “no democrat is ever going to win any local election, let alone a real leftist” district, like “our school board members ran on who was the most anti-mask” red, like “I pass white supremacist signs on the way to buy weed” red
and being in the local leftist community and the guy who runs the anarchist book club and the lady who helps keep the warming shelters open and the people who marched on city hall when a local business was getting death threats for having a drag show are all members of a discord and we get on this discord and have frank discussions about how best to vote
the people who do the protests and the mutual aid and all the real work
going “okay, they’re both fascists, but this one lacks ambition and seems happy to just glide in the position” or “they both suck, but this one can be reasoned with if you frame it patriotically enough” like we don’t even have a democrat to vote for. we know what a vote is. we know what we hope accomplish with it. we know what it can do, and we know what it can’t.
and going from those discussions to here where people think that your vote is some kind of fucking??? enabling maneuver??? as if someone isn’t going to end up in that seat regardless of what you do???
we didn’t build this system, we just live in it. we’re just trying to survive. a vote isn’t a statement of your values, it’s not an endorsement, it’s not a marriage contract, it’s a strategic play you make to keep alive.
the biggest mistake I see leftists making is overestimating their own popularity. “well but everyone would be leftist if they just-“ no, stop, 1) you can’t possibly know that 2) everyone will not just
