#i just need to scream into the void that is the Internet for a sec

[robertfettuccine]

I’ve been doing ballet for almost 15 years and tomorrow is my last performance before I’m officially quitting. I can’t keep dancing anymore because I have chronic pain but I don’t know how to live my life without ballet. I don’t know how to cope with this. Aaaaaaaaaaaah

[ari-mantic]

I need to scream into the internet void for a sec bc I am very angry.

The people on tiktok are making this trend of telling people that they look like characters from a movie they made up in the comments of their tiktoks. Like goncharov. The only problem is that they refuse to tell people who don't know about this movie that it isn't real. So people are left wondering what the fuck they were just told they look like and where it comes from but the person who said it only tells them it's from a movie called "zepotha" and won't elaborate. AND THESE PEOPLE GET MAD WHEN YOU EXPLAIN TO OTHERS THAT IT'S NOT REAL. AT LEAST THE PEOPLE ON TUMBLR TOLD PEOPLE AND TAGGED GONCHAROV AS UNREALITY.

These tiktok people WANT you to be confused bc they think it's funny. And even if they wanted to warn people, you can't add tags to tiktok comments.

It was just a disaster of an idea and it's already causing harm to others. Why can't the internet learn from other communities instead of pitting themselves against anyone else

I never share my opinions on anything because idk people probably don’t care but I gotta scream into the void for a sec.

I follow a really small handful of people on all my social medias which gets kind of slow, content wise, but whenever I try to find more people to follow in the mha fandom, I’m just met with the most vapid, insane, absolutely no critical thinking, brain-rotting takes I’ve ever heard in my fucking life and it’s just ???

People are really out here fighting each other and making accusations about real people over their fictional scrumblos, and i know “yeah Rubi welcome to the internet” but i don’t think I’ve seen something to this degree.

I just want to see some art of my scrunklies, my little scrimblos, without having to read posts that sear the top layer of my brain.

I’m not even talking about headcanons or different interpretations or anything like that, those are fun. But it’s just confusing when people are critiquing the actual source material based on their half-assed takes built on an echo chamber of biased people and then get mad at the writing because it doesn’t follow their made up version of the events. Like, girl, we did NOT read the same manga because where the fuck did you ever see that character ever do something like that ever.

And it wouldn’t really be that bad if people didn’t take these characters and events in the manga like actual real world life and death scenarios that are happening as we speak. You don’t need to be legitimately fighting with other people and jeopardizing your mental well being because you think that the heroes are real people or that the villains are real people. I know some of the themes hit close to home, but i feel like having real fights with real people over these stories is just creating needless frustration in these people’s own lives and for what?

So yeah, then i just have to follow the 3 people who post art that don’t take this series like actual real world events, and so my feed is really empty at times : ‘ )

"As an ace girl, ace girls are made out of shadows and void. We are the night. Fear us. Unless you have sacrifices of cake to placate us." that post was for wlw you derailing piece of shit fuck off why do cishets need to make everything about them jesus fucking christ

So first off I’d like to say that I’m not… super upset about this? Just sort of confused. I’d also like to point out a couple of weak spots in your… not sure I can even call this an argument, but sure, for the sake of education.

First off, and probably most importantly tbh: relax. Just - chill for a sec, okay? Breathe for a second. Idk if you’re having a rough day or a rough week, but you seem kind of tense. It’s okay to be tense. Less okay to take it out on other people, like me and at least one friend I know you targeted.

Now that that’s settled. Calm? Calmer, at least? Good. I’m glad.

Worth noting that this was about this post: http://dragonheartftherpays.tumblr.com/post/161354000784/rainconfettis-wlwromance-lesbians-are-made

I can actually kinda sorta understand why you might be irritated with aces poking into this, since it was sort of meant for wlw, but hear me out.

First of all, right to the point:

“why do cishets need to make everything about them”

There, I’m afraid you’re simply uninformed or mistaken. Asexuality, by definition, is not the same thing as heterosexuality. Therefore, an ace person cannot be cishet, as cishet (which isn’t the Evil™thing some parts of Tumblr have made it, by the way) by definition means “cisgender and heterosexual (and, I would argue, heteroromantic).” Calling an ace person cishet is simply incorrect, never mind acephobic.

“that post was for wlw”

Now this actually doesn’t apply to me as much since I’m questioning aromantic, but it does apply to a lot of other aces, so I’m going to say it anyway: aces can be wlw. The term “wlw” stands for “women loving women,” and yes, usually it refers to lesbian, bi, and pan girls, but believe it or not, ace girls can be wlw as well - through romantic orientation.

Sexual orientation and romantic orientation are actually two separate things, and while they often align (bisexual-biromantic, asexual-aromantic, etc.), they also frequently don’t. Sexual orientation classifies the people you are sexually attracted to, while romantic orientation classifies the people you are romantically attracted to - the people you fall in love with. Being a homoromantic-asexual, biromantic-asexual, polyromantic-asexual, or panromantic-asexual girl can easily classify you as wlw, if you choose to use that term for yourself. Being an ace girl doesn’t necessarily mean you fall under the wlw category like being a pan, bi, (some) poly, or lesbian girl, but it can mean that if the ace girl in question identifies as homorom, birom, polyrom, or panrom.

Third?

“shut the f*** up you homophobic piece of s***”

[censored for profanity because I’m a decent human being who doesn’t need to curse to make my point]

I don’t see where I went homophobic with this. Even if we were going to ignore all the points I just made, I still don’t see where I was homophobic. And please, correct me (politely, please; there’s no need for the crude language you used in your first messages) if I’m wrong, because I’ve been wrong before, but I never put down anyone else. I never argued that anyone else was less than aces. I would never, ever want to do such a thing - all I want is to be represented and to be seen. I never said anything that I see as homophobic, and I’m honestly just confused as to where you got that.

This was probably pointless, since people who send these kinds of messages don’t usually want to listen to reason, but I hope you read it anyway. Or, if you don’t, I hope someone does who thought along similar lines to you beforehand, and I hope I managed to teach them something.

But listen to this, if nothing else, because this is very important:

Next time you decide to send a message like this?

Turn off your computer. You don’t need to make anyone’s life harder. Maybe the person you want to yell at deserves it, and maybe not, but you don’t know what’s going on in their life. Me, I’m a very stable person who isn’t easily ruffled by random people on the Internet screaming things that just plain aren’t true, interspaced with curses in place of punctuation, at me. But some people might be seriously hurt by a message like this. I don’t want anyone getting hurt if they don’t need to, and I don’t honestly think you do either. I understand you might be angry, but try to think before you send a message like this. Think about how you would feel if you got it in your inbox, or message of similar wording and tone. Would you be angry? Upset? Anxious? Depressed? If you answered “yes” to any of those, don’t send it - or at the very least, reword it so that it’s in a calmer tone.

Oh, and try to remember to do your research next time you go accusing somebody - because no matter how loud you scream a lie, it’s still a lie, you’re still misinformed, and you still haven’t learned anything.
