people act like being intentionally whimsical is inherently more annoying than being intentionally serious but why. suppose my temper is just naturally whimsical.
#idfk what 'unmasking' really is i think its a Lot Of Things but for ME#ive always been so loke obviously Developmentally Delayed in the sense that like.#my natural inclination is to behave in ways that people tend to read as very childlike. and#people either assume thats Disability or they assume its Affectation#generally. and often i suppress it. like#i go back and forth on this and i have done for years tbqh i distinctly remember being like 20#and thinking IF I FEEL THE URGE TO SKIP WHY SHOULD I NOT SKIP?#like if my natural inclination is. to move my body in ways that people are used to children moving their bodies#literally who cares?#SO WHAT IF IM HUMMING AND SINGING ALL THE TIME SO WHAT IF I DO A LITTLE TWIRL#or hop on and off things. or whatever! WHOMST CARES. FOR WHAT REASON DO I NEED PPL TO TAKE MW SERIOUSLY#AT THE GROCERY STORE?#anyway raise your hand if your Affect is Offputting to People.#the thing that ive realized getting older tho is like. often people also like this bc#they feel like it gives them permission to also behave in weird ways in public#and i like that its nice

I remember my inner fan child officially felt like I “made it” when I started seeing people use my dabi fanart in edits/amvs and I’m excited cause I could maybe one day feel like that again with my Mello and Matt art
#idk it’s cheesy but true#like I distinctly remember being 12 and being like oh wow I wish I could make art cool enough like that

#hawlucha#just now realizing that “hawlucha” is a combination of “hawk” and “luchador”#i guess i've never really thought about it until Just Now. but now that i'm thinking about it. it is indeed a hawk luchador#i can't say this is ever a pokémon i think about except outside of flying press. which i distinctly remember as being#That One Move That's Two Types At Once#yeah okay. bulbapedia says it's supereffective against all the fighting-type weaknesses and also grass#but not bug‚ despite bug's weakness to flying‚ prooobably because bug resists fighting?#so it really is just two types at once. that's fucked up#i want more crazy fucked up moves like this. freeze-dry doesn't even come close it's too predictable

Small Beginnings
#horizon zero dawn#hzd remaster#hzd photomode#hello i am (temporarily? work will eat me one of these days) back#honestly didn't play much horizon lately#mostly control and the odd glacier pic session#felt a little burnt out#but. now the remaster is out i'm being reminded why i love this game so much and god.#you can tell they tried to get it more in line with hfw visually#but it is still distinctly hzd and i could just cry at its beauty all day#can't wait to explore all the areas i've loved to bits in the original and see what they look like now#unfortunately photo mode is still a hassle but we'll make do#they added an option to turn off lens flare. i'm content#...at least i think you couldn't do that before? i remember lens flare giving me a headache regularly#maybe i'm just misremembering

anyone interested in talking about the iconic 2000's middle-grade-bordering-on-ya book series gallagher girls??
#okay incoming rant about this series#i read the first book when i was 10 or 11 and i was absolutely obssessed with it. i read it so many times i had the entire story memorized#the issue was that i could not find the rest of the series anywhere. it was either sold out or out of stock#and then i found out that only the first 3 books had been translated into my first language so at that point i kinda gave up on them#anyway#flashforward to a couple of weeks ago#i was re organizing my bookshelf and on the back i found LYKY (is this how y'all are abreviating it??)#and remembred how much i loved it#and since i'm now fluent in english and was stuck at home recovering from a surgery i decided to download the entire series and read it#to find out what the fuck happened afterwards#long story short i read all six books in 4 or 5 days#and i haven't stopped thinking about them since#it's actually so funny how little information we have in the first book#i went all of these years thinking it was mostly a silly series about a boarding school for spies when actually SO MUCH happens afterwards#i can't believe i went all of these years unaware of zach goode's existence#truly character of all time#but also i can't stop thinking about how interesting it would have been if zach had come to hate the circle and his mom during the series#rather than before#make it a true enemies to lovers#and have us witness that portion of his character developement in real time instead of being told about it#like him slowly realizing through cammie and his time at gallagher that maybe what they were doing is wrong#i think it would have been very interesting to read#although let's be real it took me until halfway through book four to trust him and he was fully one of the good guys so..#but yeah i have a lot more to say but these tags are long enough#gallagher girls#okay i just want to add another funny anecdote about my experience with this series#my copy of LYKY has an age warning in the back recomending that readers should be above 13 yo to read it#and i distinctly remember finishing it and thinking the warning was kind of dumb bcs besides a few mentions of death and other heavier topi#nothing really happened#and now i realize it was a warning for the rest of the series not just the first book because jesus fucking chirst everything after

i really truly am not a “i liked XYZ before it was cool” girl but the one artist i will always be like that about is hozier because i remember all the way back in 2013 when the take me to church EP was out but the title track hadn’t blown up yet and telling people that hozier was gonna be legitimately big and being met with skepticism but guess who was entirely right insert oprah shrug dot gif
#hozier#i can distinctly remember sharing his music in one of my IB classes with folks and them being like ‘okay’ but i was so right

glad to see that ppl are aware that nimbus doesn't deserve the hate they get bc it stems from them being nonbinary! but i also see them be compared to cayde a lot, which i understand. but ppl are like "they're basically another cayde" and idk how i feel about that. it seems weird and ignorant to sideline them as cayde but nonbinary when nimbus is more than that despite our lack of interactions + lore w/ them. ppl already had a hard time comprehending how they processed their grief through humor and their recklessness in the deterministic chaos mission so it's no surprise they just view them as a cayde comparison :/ sorry, i could be overthinking things i'm not sure. what do you think?
I feel similarly, it feels a bit reductive to just boil them down to another Cayde, though I understand the comparison. People mostly say it because a lot of the hate for Nimbus is the, genuinely, fake outrage over a character being a little silly and humorous at odd times which is strange because everybody loved Cayde who acted the same. And imo, with fewer good reasons for it as well; although both Cayde and Nimbus hide behind a persona to mask their feelings, I feel like Cayde, one of the Vanguard leaders with hundreds of years of experience under his belt should be a little less silly than a rookie Cloud Strider who's never had anything happen to them in their short life until the start of the expansion.
They're both different characters, but share some similarities in how they're perceived so I understand the comparison especially when people ONLY hate Nimbus for "making jokes." And you have to ask "If you dislike characters making jokes, how can you like Cayde then?" It's always people's first association when someone complains about a character making jokes. I don't think people often think of them as just copies of each other, it's just a natural comparison to draw when people pretend to be bothered by jokes.
I also feel like both of these characters have jokes that are a product of their time; this isn't unusual of course, but people tend to look down on anything new. Naturally, the jokes from MY youth were good and funny, the jokes the kids have these days are cringe and bad. That's essentially it.
I like both of them for their own reasons and I enjoy both of their humour styles. Also, a lot of people thought Cayde's behaviour in vanilla D2 was super cringe btw, I remember people being fairly annoyed that he was "cracking jokes" in the middle of one of the, arguably, worst situations the setting has ever been in (Red War, loss of Light). A lot of people don't remember that, but people did NOT like Cayde's silliness. I understand why, but I never really had an issue with it; it was just a relief from all the gloom otherwise. I think it makes sense to add a little bit of silly, and I think the same applies to Nimbus.
This is why people tend to compare the two! And then you look at all of that and you wonder why Nimbus is the one getting the hate and in most cases it boils down to transphobia. Not always, people can dislike the character for other reasons; but in a LOT of cases, online especially, it's just that. It's evident from the misgendering and the type of hate being hurled around which went as far as insulting the devs and the VA (who is nonbinary and spoke publicly about finding it hard to find work because of their identity). Again, people can dislike Nimbus for other reasons too, but it's really hard to divorce the overwhelming hate for Nimbus from their identity and the state of the gaming community currently.
#destiny 2#nimbus#cayde-6#ask#also i know a lot of people have an issue with the filter over their voice. i personally don't but i know some people do#that's fine. it's not on nimbus or the va obviously but people can get irritated hearing it#i definitely don't see people who have an issue with that genuinely hating nimbus as a character though#like i see people say 'the filter is irritating to me but i don't mind nimbus as a character'#but yeah. most of the 'complaints' always boil down to 'nimbus is cringe and makes stupid jokes all the time.'#and the easiest counter to that is asking if they like cayde. because that's how cayde is perceived as well#and was perceived. i distinctly remember that being a point of criticism for the red war. 'cayde is making stupid jokes all the time'

I just remembered the time I was a summer camp counselor and I tried to read the first Harry Potter book aloud to my campers, and I had to skip over so many fatphobic lines
Because why would I just expose these perfectly nice kids to a bunch of mean comments, played off as comedy, that they would use as ammunition against other kids and themselves? It's just plain cruel. Joanne was incredibly fucking weird for that
#cl thoughts#and Many other things#should I even tag the series?#i hate giving it any air especially online#harry potter#I can't believe I read those things as a kid I think it genuinely made me a more cruel person#harry potter critical#anti jkr#anti jk rowling#i kinda hate using the crit tags bc I know the ppl that need to hear it most will have them blocked but oh well#i have a lot of nostalgia for the series but it's really gross in retrospect#the racism antisemitism misogyny fatphobia transphobia queerphobia in general - the list just goes on#like why'd she have to be so weird with it she could've been normal#hell i reread the series multiple times a year from 5th grade to 9th grade#ugh#like i don't want to say these awful lines then hear the kids repeat them at camp for the rest of the week#obv those books weren't the only source of fatphobia - it was rampant back then and still bad now#but I distinctly remember this book being what introduced me to a lot of specific awful ideas around weight :(

No but can someone explain the rise in Drakgo’s popularity in the last like 3 years. Cause I really spent most of my childhood being told I was delusional that this was the best relationship in the series and now I’m an adult and it’s the only ship I see with an actual fandom.
#Kim possible#Shego#Drakken#drakgo#Granetd I did have a drakgo blog for some time that got kinda popular#but it’s so interesting how often I see now ‘omg Drakken and Shego were such a good couple’#when I distinctly remember people originally being so mad about them becoming canon that the director had to be like ‘why are y’all so mad’

I'm in a very interesting position of "got comprehensive and age appropriate sex ed at a young age" but I was also molested as a kid. I am walking evidence that seeing diagrams of penises and vaginas isn't harmful and the real thing that gets kids hurt and sexually abused is not knowing shit. Cuz like, I did get told what genitals were and how zygotes implant into the uterus walls and stuff, but nobody told me about sexual abuse and assault for a while.
This also illustrates something ✨extremely fun✨: CSA is treated like it is Too Yucky to tell kids about, even in technical terms, even if the kid is aware of what sex is, they simply cannot know that if their friend pressures them into touching their genitals, that's a bad thing and that friend is probably being hurt! It's so weird, there's literally a whole saying about how knowledge is power, but kids are intentionally denied knowledge that could save them so much pain.
#tw csa#like after i licked a penis at fuckin. six or whatever. i was wondering if that counted as sex or not.#i never told my parents! i didn't think it was weird cuz i was SIX!!!!#i distinctly remember being like. really uncomfortable. and afterwards i wondered if perchance i had had sex technically?#it was weirddddd and! if my mom had sat me down and said 'hey anyone touching your genitals or making you touch their genitals is bad.'#that would have gotten me to tell her!#and my friend (who was ALSO SIX-ISH) probably wouldve GOTTEN HELP!!!#if my parents knew about cocsa. which they might not.#tw cocsa
