#faint rant

[faintlyof]

wow, i really really hate the new post editor

when i make an image post, that bar thing that says drag you photo or url here just stay open up there after you’ve already added photos??? and i have the option to close it? so i get to manually close it every single time just so i can see how my post is going to look??

and when adding tags, you can’t just click anywhere in the tag field, you have to click the teeny tiny little plus sign? boo, major downgrade

also its HELLA ugly and clunky looking. like look at all these big dumbass grey bubbles taking up WAY too much screen real estate??? wtf

like i cant even see the post buttons with just a single not large image (its 303px tall) in it???

same tags for reference:

clean, easy to understand its not part of the post, not freaking ugly?

like yeah, the font size could be a smidge bigger, but the grey bubbles?? *barf emoji* its ugly and intrusive and i can’t even customize it to be like baby pink or something? smh

also, again, the stupid teeny tiny plus sign??? versus being able to click literally anywhere in the tag area??? i aint got time to be lining up my mouse to hit that stupidly small target every time i decide i want to add tags to a post???

like if its supposed to be more accessible on mobile...1) tapping anywhere in the tags section would be infinitely easier on mobile also i think? but maybe people were accidentally hitting the tags section like while scrolling so they made it harder to hit on purpose? but if thats the case, 2) theres a tumblr app?? i dont think the browser version needs to have all the, uhhh, “upgrades” the app should be getting? but then again, i guess the app must still be broken so instead of fixing/adjusting it to be mobile friendly they’ll juse make everything mobile friendly? and less pc friendly? like damn i would hate hate hate hate hate to be using tumblr on anything bigger than my small laptop screen.

and last also, why is the dumb new post editor only on every post type except text? not that i want it here too, but like???

OH WAIT no this is the last also!

the new editor doesn’t give the option for blockquotes? blockquotes are literally one of my favorite formatting tools (blockquote + italics, it gets me every time)

OH WAIT NO i thought of another, in the new editor, the formatting popup is no longer (roughly) centered over the mouse??? like that was so convenient??? much less distance to travel than the new one which pops up starting on the mouses’ right side??? you wanna add a link, go all the fucking way over there! D<

ugh i hate unnecessary design choices. like im sure theyre beneficial to some people and im happy for you. but this site has just gotten 15% worse for me to use and it was already a bit of a struggle. :/

Why are abled people so OBSESSED with telling us to go out and exercise!!! I have been in a flare-up for 2 weeks, I can barely move, I am dizzy as fuck, standing is fucking excruciating, GOING FOR A MOTHER FUCKING WALK WILL NOT FIX THAT!!!

[fiveredlights]

Hello friend, I literally came over to ask about Old Habits and I saw your latest post! :)

Please could we have more of a peek into the chapter and/or a rough estimate of when?

two snippets for you! in regards to an estimate i have finally learnt my lesson in giving exact dates because life will somehow find a way and royally screw me up. stressing this next part very gently that i am trying to get it out before the end of the month, but life has been very *waves hand around* and i am trying not to burn myself out! i know a lot of you have been waiting a while for this final chapter (so have i lol) but i promise i am trying my absolute best to write as much as i physically can.

but usually i will give a three day warning when the next chapter comes out. and i usually reply to comments on ao3 like hours before i post so that's an accidental telltale lol

(also whilst we're here even more bad news sorry. sequel of glitter on the floor has been pushed back because i don't want to upload a new fic whilst this is incomplete. and because i was a little bit (very) stupid for thinking i could write in recovery. i really really wanted to get it out for the 1 yr anniversary but the stars haven't aligned)

Inspired by this post by @artpro86, I wanted an excuse to draw my latest blorbo, Cindy Bear, in a similar fashion... it didn't take me too long to be struck with an iconic reaction image to redraw with her instead.

RIGHT. A LITTLE LIFE

there's nowhere near enough people going feral about a little life right now

the book. the play. the acting !!!

Hanya Yanagihara is a genius. this book - the story, the characters - have a very special place in my heart. this book continually breaks you and terrorises you, yet leaves you wanting more. it has you so invested in the characters' lives. absolutely life changing.

Ivan Van Hove. also a genius. James Norton ! *chef's kiss* the entire cast, OUTSTANDING. people sobbing in the cinema. beautiful.

Experienced a blackout this morning when I stood up🤭

Spoilers for the new BSD chapter

So I guess we won’t be getting a Kunizai reunion…

I’m genuinely so upset about this, Kunikida was one of my favorites😭 Hopefully it’s another fake out death but idk, the scene looked pretty emotional. Then again Asagiri is allergic to letting characters stay dead…I don’t want to buy into it but I don’t want to get my hopes up either. We lost an icon today

I’m glad I’m not hyperfixated on BSD anymore because this would’ve CRUSHED me back in 2022-early 2023. Kunikida is so funny and relatable to me and I really enjoyed his character arc, especially after reading Dazai’s Entrance Exam. Out of every character he’s like the last one I expected to die but this does feel like a fitting end for his character so I’m not too upset over it. I’m still gonna need those “_______ will live🕯️” cults to pop up tho, it’s what my man deserves

Back to the shipping thing because I’m annoying…ppl who almost exclusively ship Dazai with ADA members, how are we holding up?? Oh well at least there’s still Daran and Dazakiko. Yeah no I’m devastated about this😔

[fadeintoyou1993]

got to a point in my day to day life where i feel like if i lower all my expectations for everything ever and cut every single hopeful thought i can come up with that will With No Doubt become a whole Thing that turns into Anxiety and Regret and Desperation and finally Shame for Hoping (like. "good things could happen sure. whatever. if they don't it's not like i was expecting anything anyway lol") things would be easier for me. and it's like really sad and depressing to think that and i haven't stopped shaking today and i feel this intense need to start crying but i'm also just like lol whatever!! you know :)

[narcissisticpdcultureis]

I am researching more about narcissism and I want to ask something, is narcissism created by trauma or inherited? or both?

And I also want to know what do you think of the people who say that they are "healing their npd"? As far as I know it's not a something you can cure, so wouldn't it be stigmatizing the disorder not to accept it as part of yourself?/gen

heyo! NPD is caused by a mixture of environmental and genetic factors, that usually meaning that some people are genetically more likely to develop it when exposed to traumatic experiences in childhood such as abuse and neglect. this goes for most if not all personality disorders. for example, both of our parents are very mentally ill and very likely cluster b (our mother likely having BPD and our father likely having NPD), so when we experienced abuse/neglect in childhood, the trauma triggered the development of the same and similar disorders.

i guess i find it a little bit confusing? you're right, there's no cure to NPD, many of us will experience the symptom for the rest of our lives, though there's absolutely ways to improve symptoms and also ways to cope with those symptoms. i do think for many it's important to accept NPD as part of themselves, working through self-hatred and internalized ableism is hard but important and worth it for one's healing journey. i think it's important to remember that accepting the disorder as part of yourself doesn't automatically mean you love or find pride in it, some settle for a more neutral acceptance and that's valid as well. not really sure what else to say about the matter.

Update: I can't do art because I'm sweating more than usual even with a fan and taking showers.

So art will be delayed until the weather calm down
