Vent:

I don't understand why everyone is so mean to me.

I didn't do anything.

This random person I don't even know threw this paper at me. The girls around him were so confused at why I didn't even say anything or fight back.

"I'm better than them."

"I'm so sweet."

I'm so tired of this. I can't wait till its over.

I don't know why I'm so sensitive. But there's nothing I can really do about it.

The girl who helped me feel better and not cry made me cry.

Shes just been so mean. Calling me a baby. Won't stop.hitting me. Commenting on things that I do.

I know that they're jokes but it just hurts my feelings. I told them to stop hitting me. But they wouldn't. They did for the past 2 days, but they won't stop bothering me about it.

I can't continue conversation. I wanted to get to know them better because they helped me, but now that just seems stupid. Why are they being so mean?.

I went outside so I could cry, and when i came back inside my burger was gone.

I don't know why, but NBB thought it would be funny to hide my burger while eating her own burger. It made me so upset.

But at least I had it. Except she re-wrapped the whole thing and the ketchup was all over the burger and paper.

She had gotten concerned because she could tell I had be crying, but I didn't want to share any kinds of detail. I just don't like to get people in trouble.

I could barely eat it. I just kept peeling off all the ketchup bread.

S☀️ also came to the table, and at this point I couldn't stop crying.

NBB was actually being helpful. She told me not to talk to her anymore. It's just that the girl waits for me and then hits me.

NBB was very nice.

I don't really know what to do about this.

I've ran away from a different bully this week. I ran. ????

What kind of show is this anyway. Since when do people actually run from bullies.

I'm so sick of this.

I hate this show

YOU - "Hold on, you really don't feel anything?"

KIM KITSURAGI - "No -- but you're the sensitive one."

RHETORIC - It's not a quib. The situation is dangerous.

AUTHORITY - He trusts your gut feeling on this.

I'm going to be real, I think people (particularly neurotypical people) really fail when they see disordered eating as solely a behaviour when it isn't just that (and usually they assume the behaviour can only be restricted eating). Disordered eating is as much a frame of thinking as it is a "behaviour".

I say this is a failure because people are struggling, and they aren't receiving help they need because they're not seen as "eating disordered". The mindset that leads to somebody developing the behaviours associated with disordered eating is - in my experience - absolutely life-ruining and devastating. It genuinely feels like a huge part of your soul has shriveled up and vanished. When you see disordered eating as a behaviour, you are fundamentally not understanding what these issues tend to be, and how they arise.

This is so, so especially important for people who don't "look" the way society expects. For instance, the number of men I see absolutely destroyed by these thoughts, feelings, and compulsions is really almost astonishing. We need to do better for everybody - everybody deserves the help they want and need.

Oh wait did I get confused, I read it as confirming Jamie as bi, was it confirming Roy as bi?

"there is so little canon info about the marauders" and yet you guys somehow managed to make fanon sirius and fanon remus a complete antithesis to their canon counterparts. they share exactly 0 traits. the venn diagram circles titled "canon sirius" and "fanon sirius" are barely touching. how?? how did it happen??

I'm going to do something I've been avoiding for months now: reading the indignity of being seen

[thefrogdalorian]

Having of those moments where I wish to yeet the like button into the sun or maybe make it so there was setting you could turn on so that people can only reblog posts (even better with the minimum requirement of adding at least one tag)!!

It's kind of absurd that one of my fics is getting close to 500 notes while simultaneously being one I've had the least actual human interactions come from. Like...... come on, that's now how it should be AT ALL!

Don't get me wrong, I'm so thrilled people are clearly finding it and I guess enjoying it(??) but just having endless likes without people letting me know what they enjoyed about it or even if they liked it kind of makes me sad. That's not why I want to share my writing here!

I love having those little human connections with others. I don't ever want my writing to feel transactional. I would love to talk to more people about things I've written. It's truly one of the best feelings and I would hate to lose that, the more I write or the more notes my fics get. Please don't be shy!! I get the social anxiety, but there is no reason to be. I am truly just a Din Djarin obsessed loser.

Anyway, whine over. I don't want to focus on the negatives here and I appreciate every single person who has ever left a positive interaction with something I've written. You are truly a light!

i wanna go back to playing oneshot again... and just. enjoying myself in the oneshot universe

I imagine the story that follows Hera during her self care retreat away from Olympus takes place within the modern day.

The main conflict are - Hera figuring her shit out, Zeus looking for his wife, Athena freaking out about the sudden spike and rise of monsters... Which isn't a lot now that I really think about it lol. I have an idea for a "plot" some scraps and blobs but I've realised when developing a project on my own it feels like an echo chamber of my own thoughts with ideas and tropes that are all from my little box of limited ideas and experiences.

I feel like a lot of retellings are also just repeating the same thing over and over, and Im scared that I'll make a story that'll drown within all of em. Which is why I'm going with more niche traditions and regional variations of the myths.

But I really suck at making a nice long fully thought out plot especially when it focuses on multiple storylines happening at once.

ASTRAL TRAIN MY BELOVED!! rotating hera in my mind like a rotisserie chicken omg >_<

i hear ya. well my friend theres a first time for everything, and as with everything in life theres much to be done and learned down the road, especially through trial and error. worry not ill bring snacks and well figure it out lol ^-^

WHOOP!!!!!! i havent read much to be honest but it seems to me retellings and stuff tend to use figures from the mythos as vessels for tropes (since theyre typically established already) to appease the masses, instead of fleshing them out and giving them conflicts and stuff, which is fine whatever, but astral train has so much potential it literally deserves to shine through

so yes having nicher (?) and more diverse material to work with is really brilliant i liek it and youre doing insanely well! curating myths and sources cant be an easy task much less weave them together :D

[i partially emerge from the swamp muck, my eyes just peering over the surface] speaking of reality tv.... if the cast (gw or otherwise) were cast in (bear with me) a romance reality show, e.g. the bachelor/ette, love island, etc, what archetypes would they fill. what would be the tea. [i draw closer to land in anticipation without rising further in the muck]

Bautista: Generally nice person, either gets eliminated because they're too nice and the ratings are low or gets to the semifinale. The only tea from them is that they bitch about other contestants in the confession rooms sometimes, for justifiable reasons

Nazeri: Hypercompetitive guy that gets around. The tea is that they're trying very hard to win which makes them come across as two-faced. Catches feelings mid-way through the season and undergoes a major character arc where they're struggling with the concept of "is it too late for me to change and for them to trust me?"

Devin: Living, laughing, loving. This is the best time of their life. Who gives a shit about the romance angle, they're on the beach. The tea is that they're often passive aggressive.

Trace: Person with the highest body count and the most insane moments on camera. Surprisingly no tea, they're just crazy.

anyone else deeply disturbed by the internet cultural zeitgeist's sharp turn towards anti-kink, poor media literacy, and harassment of authors who explore dark subject matter in their work. everyone else filled with a deep sense of building dread by this cultural trend's concurrence with the massive rise in fascist censorship in the united states. anyone else scared. who else is scared. tell me its not just me

[moreaugriffins]

out of curiosity, does anyone else consider the Brigadier to be a companion?
