i feel like a lot of proship people dont realize that us 'antis' or whatever they call us dont like them not bc what theyre shipping is despicable, but bc their mindset around it is really fuckin gross

theres always a time within media where pairing an adult and a child together/siblings/etc is used to tell a darker story, explore themes, etc. that kind of shit doesnt reflect on the author AT ALL, look at lolita for an example. pedo protag, but not pedo/pedo-supporting author.

what IS really gross and makes it look like you support pedos, weirdoes, etc, is when you go 'omg these two characters are so good together 😍😍" and it's a 12 year old and a 36 year old. that DOES reflect on the author/whoever pairs them

ofc, this shit isnt going to kill anyone irl, but the internet is a place of infinite malleability, where you have a little button you can click at any moment to completely erase someone from your presence forever. as such, we can block proshippers and we have good reason to

if ur gonna be weird, dont get mad when people find u weird.

all this to say i got a really gross proshipping post on my dash, which prompted this

do me a favor and just block me if you make/support that kinda stuff. i dont want to see it.

Let’s talk about something else. (I’ll likely make this a bigger post at some point).

It’s hard to be positive about my disorder. Even though I genuinely find a lot of joy out of it, I struggle to be positive about it in online spaces.

If I mention having an innerworld party or Curtis and Numb’s wedding, or how fun I find it that I can switch using music I love, I feel like there’s two separate reactions, divided by the syscourse lines.

On the anti-endo side of things, I feel as if it’s anti-recovery knee-jerk. I feel like people get uncomfortable and pushy, insisting that I’m “romanticizing” a disorder, rather than being “real” about it; furthermore, that connecting to my innerworld is (somehow) anti-recovery (it’s not, I checked, therapist approved). I don’t feel like I always have to be down and struggling, but I do feel like it’s hard to be overjoyed by certain inherent symptoms I have.

On the pro-endo side of things, I feel as if I’m spoken over in excitement with completely unrelated things. I’ll mention my innerworld, and 5 other people start ranting about theirs. I mention my introject, and 5 other people rant about how they split from various media — and it sometimes becomes a fester for misinformation, or simply just things that are so unrelated to the original topic that… I can’t relate at all.

I’m lucky to have folks who understand and are close to me, who I can be open with — particularly, none of this matters to my partner. I mention my struggles, and they support me. I mention my joys, and they smile and praise me for being able to be happy again, because there were times when I couldn’t. I mention how happy it makes me to be able to switch using music (even if the music helps me switch due to negative connotations and memories associated with them), and my partner laughs and says I’ve changed how they look at music, and that we’ll just have to make new memories for those switching songs instead.

Isn’t that the way things are supposed to be? Shouldn’t we be happy??

Alh*itham & K*veh relationship analysis (spoilers below)

I said before that Alh*itham holds a level of "resentment" for K*veh, but what I really meant was "contempt." It's the contempt you feel when you're pushed past the point of sympathy and pity. You see someone you care about that's in a bad state, but the thing is that they're ALWAYS in a bad state due to nobody's fault but their own. They go from pitying to pathetic and pitiful.

This line isn't because Alh*itham literally refuses to do good deeds. It's because giving into K*veh's nagging would only serve to enable his guilty conscience. K*veh's guilt is what pushes him to clean and do things. One would think that helping K*veh would help ease his guilt and ease his stress, but all that does is put a bandaid on a gaping wound. What K*veh needs to learn is simply to stop. Learn he doesn't need to clean. He doesn't need to do the errands. He doesn't need to be "good." He doesn't need to give. He doesn't need to DO. He can just BE and that's okay.

But K*veh doesn't learn. He doesn't catch the hint. He doesn't change. Then the thought comes, "Why should I care about someone that doesn't want to get better?" And the next thought, "But unfortunately I DO care, so this whole situation irritates me even more." Alh*itham can ignore K*veh for the most part, but the times he gets too much, Alh*itham's irritation and contempt begins to seep in and he gets more biting.

It confuses me why people pair these two together because they are not what the other person needs. K*veh needs care. He needs love. He needs reassurance. Alh*itham needs independence. He needs low maintenance. He needs stability. As of right now, they only make the other worse.

I am sorry to invite discourse, but I have to say it. I did "git gud" five times. I managed. I could do it. Even the most difficult bosses. And I still think that the Elden Ring endgame is horribly unbalanced and needs a fix BADLY.

Fandom politics are so fake. For so many years there's been this sentiment of "this thing has bad tropes/stereotypes in it, if you like it you're a bad person"

Yet over the past 4 months I've unfollowed literally dozens of people due to antisemitism, and deleted my twitter. And yet the people I feel safest interacting with are those I've followed for years who love mcu scarlet witch, or Harry potter, or princess mononoke, or traditional fairy tales, etc etc

I don't know what I'm trying to say here. Maybe being able to separate fiction and fandom from reality and politics is good, actually

I wish some aces would stop excluding other aces with complex sexual experiences. like I get why but you have to realize that being ace does not mean they don't enjoy sexual experiences and it's weird when you complain about allo people and boil it down to "people who have sexual experiences" and also shame people for their sex life and kinks as if your own community doesnt INCLUDE those people. because there are other aces out there who still masturbate, who feel sexually attracted to their own body, who barely experiences sexual attraction but still enjoys sex, who like consuming sexual media, who like sfw kink. being ace is so so much more complex than just "disliking sex". and also aromantic exclusionism in the same genre of posts is something i see a lot. especially aro allos. I hate hate hate seeing a community that SHOULD be inclusive boil down sexuality and exclude people.

I work hard on my icons is the thing, and I know other creators do as well, they're small edits but they're still edits

It's finding the perfect screen shot, its lighting and coloring and even more!

then we put them nicely onto a rebloggable post, give people different color options and shapes, throw in lil graphics to give it a certain flair

All. For. Fucking. Free.

the least you can do is like the post you take your icon from, the best thing you can do is reblog them

I stopped making icons for months because my posts would get like 13 notes (most of them likes) and yet I'd see the icon be used by more than 13 people - NONE OF WHICH LIKED OR REBLOGGED THE POSTS

I've even seen people take my icons (again who didn't like or reblog the original post) and edit them and use them for something else WITHOUT MY PERMISSION or give me credit

its exhausting, please support the content creators on this website
