It’s infuriating how toxic marauders fans deliberately target Snape fans while bragging about never having read the books. It’s not just ignorance—it’s a clear attempt to provoke and stir up drama. When your aim is to incite anger rather than engage in meaningful discussion, it undermines any chance of constructive dialogue. It’s frustrating to see online interactions devolve into deliberate provocations instead of genuine conversations😒

Ya'll ever just

Why is housing so impossible???? Why are there so many hoops you have to jump through just to get a roof over your head???? Who thought it was a good idea to make it hard to live on just one income???? Why is it so hard to live off of two incomes for that matter???

I have a job, I pay taxes like everyone else, so why is it a constant back and forth struggle to pay bills and buy essentials. You know, little things like food. I just woke up, I'm hungry, and I'm craving a few billionaires right now. #EatTheRich

Capitalism continues to suck the life out of me and I am being a husk of my former self.

There is something that’s not adding up here for me. Daniel has the chassis change in China and gets rear-ended by Stroll when points looked like a possibility. He puts in the performance that he does in Miami for the sprint and admittedly has a bad qualifying, even though it can be argued it’s because of the faulty set of tyres. He makes it to Q3 in Imola but misses out on point because of strategy and admittedly he has a bad performance in Monaco. But then he rallies and has the commendable performance in Canada and RB brings the shit car in Spain but he still out drives it and puts in the work to help them decipher the mess of upgrades they brought and he gets a 3-race ultimatum in Austria?? When a lot of the misfortune he faced has been due to factors outside of his control?? Why was he the only one facing the pressure? And if the ultimatum is true, it makes the strategy blunder this past weekend even more infuriating… and concerning the line about senior figures being worried about Daniel possibly not having the same edge in performance as in 2014-2018, did he show he could do it in 2020? And has he had the machinery since then to show what he could do?? No, but he still outqualified Perez driving the most successful F1 car in his scrappy Alpha Tauri didn’t he?? DIDNT HE??

[anxiety-party]

I’ve been thinking about ninjago again lately and I need to talk about the skybound season and how they bring up Jay being adopted and it’s never explored any further! He didn’t even tell anyone about it goddammit!

Didn’t he go to see his real dad after everything got reverted? I mean he might as well since he was gonna die in a few days!

[andreamland]

Anyone can relate with this?

I need to get this off my chest

I realize writing a series is very time-consuming, especially writing one with twenty parts where each part has like 3-4k words (crazy, i know). What I learned about writing a long fiction is you have to be consistent. And sure, no one should pressure themselves, but I do wish it didn't take me eight months to finish something that could've been completed in less time.

I know I shouldn't be too hard on myself, after all, I write on my own free will. But yeah, I feel like if I had consistently updated, it would've been better. Or had better feedback? Idk. I wonder if any fellow writers ever felt this way or is this just a me problem?

[odeliba]

Just started PLatRoA and honestly I am so ready to drop these books for another twenty years. "If you don't like loustat don't read these books" - maybe this wasn't gatekeeping but a good advice. Like, "if you have lactose untolerance, don't order this salad". I have developed a really strong loustat untolerance, and there is loustat in my hot vampire soup, and everyone keeps insisting it's supposed to be there, like, it's the main ingredient, and I just can't take it.

Maybe I really should drop TVC again. Maybe I should not try anymore. As Keith once said during his Marmoran trial, "maybe I really wasn't supposed to go through that door".

Is this disgust I feel towards Louis stronger than the love I feel towards all other characters? If so, what kind of person it makes me? (Did I ever tell I am a good person though?) Well, my deadline is set at the 31st of October, which means I'll find out soon enough.

I feel the need to vent so I’ll probably make a post about it soon 😣

I’m sure it’s applicable to so many other fields so here I am (probably over-sharing) trying to raise awareness to burnout and the need for mental health breaks:

Almost a month ago, things weren’t bad, they were going well. I was racing to get my first book up for preorder, knowing that doing so wouldn’t necessarily get me sales, but it did give me time to do a little marketing with the proof copy and leave room to fix the last few things that popped up while I waited.

I was too exhausted from that sprint to even properly enjoy the monumental milestone of getting that preorder submitted on time. I just wanted to go to bed with like, zero human support systems to help me out because everyone I know is too depressed to help themselves. Depression might not literally be contagious but as the only one I know who has their shit together, when I *don’t* have my shit together, I get zero help. I still gotta help everybody else. Like, if the dishes don’t get done, it’s far easier to stack mine on top and say fuck it than ask for/wait for/do dishes that aren’t mine so I have room for mine, you know?

Not even 20 days later and it has just been one gut-punch after another. And the thing is. I’m… pessimistically inclined. Sometimes. Not because I want to be, mind you, but because life + repeat letdowns and disappointments + failures by people close to me to follow through on commitments = a cocktail of hyper-independence, trust issues, and seeing the worst in people.

Day after pre-order go-live and I got family pushing *hard* to get me on social media to market cause that’s where my audience is, allegedly (I write gay fantasy books. My audience is right here thank you very much). But I listened. And it went exactly as I expected it to. And the burnout and cynicism has done a real number on my mental health.

Oh, you got excited naively thinking an influencer actually cares about and wants to read your book? Ha ha, you shmuck. Nope! She just wants your money.

Oh, well at least she delivered a usable ad for your book, right? Nope! That Instagram account is now dead to me, infected with scammers who won’t leave me alone.

Oh, well how’s your new TikTok going? It’s going, right? Kinda! I mean the platform is rigged against you, demanding a style of performance that I hate to catch the attention of people who like shiny clickbait. And no, there’s a very real bubble preventing your videos from reaching larger audiences because the algorithm says so. And no matter how many hours you put into making videos, you *might* get 700 views. Not engagement, just views. Counting those scrolling by.

Oh…. Well you got some sales at least, right? Nope~ but hey I get it ebooks aren’t thrilling. Lacking sales are the least important element here.

You got some friends and family to read it though? One. No one I know reads, or if they do, they don’t have time to remember their promise.

But there are *some* good things that came from interacting with social media right? No? Not really? The few positive interactions I’ve had I can get anywhere.

Oh and I am still tangled up with PayPal from that first scam.

Not to even get started on stress from my day job’s compulsory OT that means no weekends, an upcoming move, a denied ESA request, and a pending new job.

Point of all this being… this was supposed to be a time to celebrate an accomplishment. And all I have taken away from it was 1) I was right, social media is ass, and 2) I was naive to get excited about absolutely any of this. Which is not a good thing to take away from this. Dangerous state of mind to be in.

When you’re pessimistic to keep your emotions safe from bad actors, and those bad actors all show up at once to validate your pessimism, it sucks. A lot. And it hasn’t even been 20 days. It feels like it’s been 3 months.

Phys wants a very long nap and some justice and a little bit of vindication and the permission to say “I told you so” with cathartic contempt. At the moment she’ll take venting to strangers on the internet.

I know I keep harping on the same bullshit and I'm sick of myself as well, but it really baffles me that this is considered near perfect writing:

He's looking at Lenore as she's about to sun herself. He's talking about vampires. So let me ask: what the hell do you mean "recently".

Appreciating the beauty of vampires is all you've been doing!!

Hector started as a victim of abuse so alienated by his own kind that he related more with animals than humans. He's fascinated with death. He's fascinated with vampires. This is not a good thing, since it's the main reason the man thinks that turning humans into cattle would be a "merciful" compromise: he sees humans as dangerous animals that need to be controlled, but not completely eradicated, as "like any animal, I think the world would be poorer with their extinction".

You'd think that his development would be about him reconnecting with his humanity. Realizing they are people, with hopes and dreams and kindness and they deserve better than being food for vampires. Just as he, too, deserves better than being cooped up in a little house, or in a castle. You know. His literal development in canon.

It's predictable, but at least it's coherent. But eh, I guess Isaac stole this poignant character arc, whoops.

That line makes no sense. Not only because of what I just said, but because Hector just finished comparing vampires to parasites that do nothing but eat, so starved they are for power. For fuck's sake it's literally what triggers Lenore's suicide! That realization by all means should have been him accepting that vampires are not as wise as he thought, that at their core they're still animals and they hurt him and are harmful to the world because of it. But apparently no. He's still on his bullshit, just as his big badass moment in this season is planning to bring back Dracula even after he realized that he had lied to him to exterminate mankind in a way he didn't approve of.

Ah. But this isn't about Hector. Hector stopped being a character halfway through S2. This is about Lenore. This is him doing the closest thing to confessing his love for the woman who abused him in all sorts of ways. She's beautiful and she should have lived with him, but she chose to peace out, unwilling to withstand her own ironic fate with the man she enslaved: and he's perfectly fine with her choosing the "freedom" that she deprived him of, that forced him to multilate his fingers to gain (and even in part, as he's once again stuck in a castle with no desire to see the world).

But it's fine. She's a beautiful vampire and he'll always cherish her as such.

This writing is disgusting. This show puts vampires on an uncomfortable pedestal and does very little to make them sympathetic, so it really comes off as simply misanthropic.
