You know that whole "those who do not remember history are doomed to repeat it" thing?
This really is starting to look like TruePhan vs AntiPhan 2.
So maybe everyone should brush up on why that was such a disaster before we irradiate the Phandom for another 10 years.
I'm a cockroach here, but goddamn, even cockroaches get tired of being bombarded after a while.
#mun speaks#technically this is phandom schism 3 for me personally#danny phantom#phandom#what I am saying is that someone making a hit list of people they think MIGHT ship a ship that squicks them out#is a symptom of a larger issue#when I first joined the Phandom it was near the resurgence of the phandom after the nuke that was bh's phandom war#everyone shipped whatever the fuck#and no one cared#and if you didn't like someone's stuff#you just blocked and moved on#we need to get back to that#because two fictional characters kissing is not worth doxxing someone over#no matter who they are#and I am tired of all the infighting

sent my fanzine pieces to some friends and most didn't acknowledge them at all and the only one who did just went "nice" and nothing else :(((
#obligatory If You See This It Isn't About You I Promise these people are not on tumblr#like it's fine i'm proud of how they're coming along anyway but also. symptom of a larger issue yk#why is it such a struggle to get almost anyone in my life to care about the things that i'm proud of or excited about even a little :(#especially with vkei related stuff????? idk why but like. nobody (apart from my two friends who are also into it) will even acknowledge#that i've said anything when i try to talk about it or share anything related to it#which sucks idk i know you can't make people have an interest (and i'm not trying to do that!!) but i try very hard to engage with what#they care about even when it's not something i'm personally into and it just kinda sucks that it never seems to go both ways#like i do not like or care about kpop but i'll still sit for hours and watch videos or talk about it with my friend and then when i try to#show them one performance or song that's really important to me they go on their phone and don't actually watch any of it or pay attention

Okay non horny post, I got those Bluetooth light bulbs that change color that you control from your phone and it's the best purchase ever
I can have amazing lighting for pics and I can switch to all kinds of mood lighting while laying in bed and even color changing modes that are customizable
The downsides are I need to be connected to wifi for me to control them and also I'm pretty sure even when I turn them off in the app they're still using electricity, but also I don't need to get up to turn off or on the lights so I'm happy with it
#not sponsored i promise#controversial opinikns but LED strips are tacky#and im a fan of having a cute well designed bedroom#it keeps the voices at bay#so this is a good compromise#actually when my room is very messy i pace back and forth frantically muttering to myself extremely agitated occasionally moving things and#back and forth and swearing until its clean enough thay i can live with it for a while#idk if thats a symptom of a larger issue tho

#This Is Why I Always Talk My Shit#niche internet discourse is often a symptom of a much larger issue that isn't being addressed strongly enough

the thing about ao3 dickriders and the "proship" crowd at large is that it's essential to understand that they operate entirely on bad faith arguments and that strawmanning is a favorite pastime of theirs, which is where you get them falsely conflating resources for combating csa with content that exists for the express purpose of sexually exploitating children as to paint perceived and would-be detractors as pearlclutchers allergic to the presence of mature subject matter. like, I'm not going to pretend for a moment that these arguments aren't absolutely fucking batshit ridiculous but I don't know, it's just a particular brand of insidious that I don't think can be laughed off as just chronically online weirdos being chronically online given how horrifically misunderstood of a topic the general umbrella of sexual abuse is far beyond greasy fandom shipping corners of the internet.
☝️
#not even adding anything like youre exactly right.#and said it better than i could#and like to be clear that post i made is like. being sarcastic like Sureeely these people understand. but anyway#like i think i talk fairly often about the way that peoples poor handling of sa in fiction and the fetishization of it cannot be separated#from how misunderstood it and abuse in general are irl. as well as rape culture etc etc.#like if it truly was just Online Shit i wouldnt bother w any of it but its always going to be a symptom and representative of larger offline#societal issues and also like. obvs rape and csa ’’’erotica’’’ is also often used as a tool in actual abuse cases. like it IS that serious

i think wc fans should stop being in denial and just call the erins ableist already instead of well meaning older british ladies who make a few mistakes
#at the absolute best they are ppl who think being disabled is something to be pitied and like the ‘’game over’’ of life#and at worst they have eugenist beliefs#the one person who tried to write a genuine narrative abt a disabled character thriving and living happily still#literally only did so once her cousin got paralyzed. she was otherwise planning to have her slowly die miserably for drama#and even then the narrative was less concerned with her and more abt how her poor abled sister hates her for being accomodated and havin#having moms attention (who is also being ableist to her)#‘’oh well theyre just fictional cats tho’’ what yoy write is indicative of your real world views#and they’ve consistently written that being disabled is something to be pitied and resentful of#to the point where multiple characters reinforce the idea that being dead is better than being disabled#the squirrelflights hope line was not a one off instance it was a symptom of the larger issue at hand#and its weird that the fandom thinks it was just a misguided stumble#echoed voice#ableism

Are all my fellow minecraft lovers aware of the movie in the works?
#wacky watermelons#in denial about it being live action#honestly im not even sure what info is accurate because its far out and has had (apparently) a rocky ass development#and also “minecraft movie” has been dreamed up so many times by people in the community that of course theres many hits there#side tangent. a little pet peeve of mine is whenever they make video game movies and then just. don't name them#although thats probably a symptom of the larger issue that plagues video game movies. they dont have anything new to say.#i mean. thats why the dnd movie was good. because they actually created a story. thats why the mario movie was boring#because it felt like the story was secondary to showing all the characters#for all fnaf movie's disregard for the games story. it forged its own instead. and was good because of it!#i worry that theyre not going to treat minecraft like a sandbox and are instead going to write a story like a museum tour#uh. my point.#theres not a lot of reliable info beyond a handful of actors and a release date. but. i hope its good. i am preparing for it not to be#anyway i have furries to draw. cheers

i hope RE4R separate ways starts with ada sipping a mojito on the beach as she's rudely interrupted by an organization liaison who offers her the spain operation & she takes off her sunglasses, frowns & downs the rest of her drink, just as a fun contrast to leon's little edgy monologue about his really bad time under military service
#* file // : OOC — ( 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐎𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐂𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐀𝐃𝐄 . )#absolute queen of coping mechanisms#she is doing the best of ressie cast in my heart owing to her own laziness plenty of time on vacation and recreational drug use#self-medication is such a great idea#given she's a corporate spy she isn't quite as present in active outbreak zones as any anti-bioweapon service#and having a very honed sense of emotional intelligence that's almost dehumanizing in a sense#she's hyperaware of what she feels / why she feels it and can rationalize her way through her own actions#and those of the people around her#even if there's some projection and guesswork to fill in the blanks#the necessity of serving symptoms of a larger societal issue to destroy them from within#and though the parallel would be funny i would love to hear talk about her work as a double agent for wesker#resurfacing after raccoon city as a complete mystery that her employers fear for their own lack of understanding#and the organizations plans to stifle wesker's ambitions through ada#those are partially hinted at in her last report in RE4 but fully expanded upon in the guidebook#and it's such an interesting era of her career#really do hope they didn't retcon any of it#wanna hear more#they're holding back a lot about separate ways despite what is already present within the game files#so it makes me think it's truly ada's expanded role they promised before the game's release#drug use mention /#drug mention /

seeing a lot of ppl nowadays accuse lackluster stories as "the creators probly used AI to write this"
like,
no.
the fact that the story is very poorly written doesnt mean that AI wrote it. humans are still, and have always been, perfectly capable of writing shitty stories
to me, this just feels like another example of people associating "bad stuff" with nonhumans and "good stuff" with humans
like, humans are ONLY capable of writing good stories, and if the story isnt good, then it MUST HAVE BEEN written by AI (something that is nonhuman)
this is just a ridiculous and reductive mentality to have
like yea, it's POSSIBLE that the creators could have used AI, but the more likely explanation is that the creators simply did not want to or weren't able to create a good story for a plethora of reasons
#personal#this mentality also exists in other forms but i think i'll add onto this another day#i think this mentality is also probly a symptom to a much larger issue that goes beyond anthropocentrism tbh

There’s a way to handle the Hat Discourse(tm) and it’s this: stop assuming that characters are their appearances and acknowledge the game’s context. You do not need to downgrade the meaning of such a thing to ‘something Ouma took without thinking about it’ for it to, you know, not represent him as a person.
Besides that Ouma is presented in game as pretending to be a villain, as a means to an end, he very likely has to deal with actual dystopia and fascism in his real life if he ‘roleplays as the villain’ even in DICE. It could be a game if you want, but consider that this group was presented as having a strict No Kill rule, stuff you’ll see in groups such as resistance or other dangerous missions organisations that warrant confronting the possibility of killing. Basic common sense suggests that clown troupes do not need a No Kill rule because that is not the case there- take Rui Kamishiro from Project Sekai for instance, he pulls a whole lot of dangerous stunts, ones that could be a danger to life, but he’s a performer so he’s not going to implement ‘no killing’- because no shit, what kind of performer even considers killing as part of an act??
Look. I’m getting so, so tired of people acting as if using a surface level read of things will just evaporate the discourse on it. No. It won’t, and frankly that is the attitude that only makes the issue a hundred thousand times more frustrating. The whole thing becomes this nebula that everyone’s too afraid to talk about, which is not a sustainable way to handle this matter at all, especially when everyone and their dog is forcing the view that Ouma’s group are clowns.
#dangan salt team#no offense to the person who sparked this#this isn't an issue with you so much as the attitude is a symptom of a larger issue#and then when I saw it. I snapped#it's been five years and we're STILL on this shit#i could go off about the conditions for dystopian Hell present in V3 but I'm tired now#that's for another time.#so all I can do is link to a thing relevant to Ouma#grghhg#back to Raincode before I implode

you’re telling me that no one’s backstory was real. in the character study show.
#fuck you fuck you fuck you this is season 3 of dark all over again#Netflix cancelling 1899 is a symptom of a larger issue but that cliffhanger sucks so bad#WHAT DO YOU MEAN NONE OF IT MATTERED. WHAT DO YOU MEAN.#i spent that whole season waiting for the Spanish guys backstories and it wouldn’t even have been real?? olek too??#why

I expected it to be higher but looking at it closely that tracks.
#I don't fuck with mold when it comes to stuff like bread or fruits.#Cheese is a totally different ballgame and it varies based on the cheese.#that's only if the cheese sticks around long enough to go bad in the first place#On time my mom got one of those fancy cheese samplers and didn't touch it at all so I ended up eating the whole damn thing myself#with the bugs there are two things I don't fuck with#first one is worms. if there's a worm in an apple I don't care how much I could cut away to make it 'safe' that thing is the worm's now#My sister had worms once and it sucked#The other thing has to do with roaches in restraunts#The roaches aren't the problem#they're the symptom of a much larger problem with the restraunt#The last notable thing from the test has to do with drinking from a glass someone else has used#The truth is that I DO do that BUT only with permission#and also when I don't have a cold sore (duh)#it's less a hygiene issue and more a psychological one

I don't know if it's burnout or what but honestly I think I'm just more tired than I am scared right now.
#at least he's old#maybe he'll have a good old stroke before he does too much more damage#the fact remains that he's only a symptom of larger issues and I'm just really tired

i joined a discord server with an age limit recently and i'm constantly on edge like "oh god oh fuck they're gonna find out i'm secretly not old enough to be here" even though i'm literally twenty years old. i'm two years above the age limit. i'm literally older than multiple people there. but sure i'm not supposed to be here bc i say shit like blorbo and brain chemistry and have they / them pronouns. fucking hell
#this is a bit of a symptom of a larger issue i've been having lately#where i'm considered an adult in the eye of the law and the general public#but i still feel like a teenager bc i'm still young and figuring things out#and it's creating this insane disconnect lmao#rambling#silly circle

The reactionary shift carried in liberal language that's been taking place in this website these last three years would be so horrifying if it wasn't also so damn funny

since dia de los muertos got mentioned on the tl yesterday bc of that dp post i rb i highly recommend listening to this podcast ep to learn more abt the history of how dia de los muertos and how it's actually been thoroughly bastardized in our modern day both in the u.s. and mexico and has strayed far away from the indigenous communities it originated from
#i learned alot from this ep and it was interesting/important to hear both a queer zapoteca educator and an indigenous scholar talk abt this#from their perspective as indigenous ppl#it was wild finding out that dia de los muertos was brought to u.s. not thru mexican immigrants#but thru an italian american catholic nun in LA who ran the self help graphics which consisted of mostly chicanos#after introducing to film abt dia de los muertos that's where they got the idea to send those artists to oaxaca#to see how the ppl there celebrated it and the aesthetic of it and bring back to u.s.#the speakers mention that while this might have likely been way for these artists to reconnect bc they have roots in mexico#they didn't necessarily have connections to the communities they were observing and ended up ultimately stealing from#bc regardless of intent this is still a form of cultural appropriation#and it's honestly a symptom of a larger issue w/n the community when it comes both the diaspora and ppl living in mexico#bc of this prevailing notion that we are all mestizo and/or indigenous when that's not true#it's ultimately a mindset that actively harms actual indigenous ppl living in mexico who are still actively having their cultures be stolen#and/or erased and fighting for their rights and recognition from the country at large#even if some mexicans have indigenous ancestry they're still not culturally indigenous#that matters bc mexico has and still continues to adopt aspects of indigenous cultures but exclude indigenous ppl#it's the commodification of indigeneity basically#so when it naturally spread to different parts of u.s and they started introducing aztec dancing to it#(which i can only assume was bc dia de los muertos can traced back to the aztecs and maybe that's why it got added#but even then just bc ur mexican don't mean u have connection to the aztecs again going back to the 'we are all indigenous' myth)#this eventually leads to the face painting and ppl dressing up like calaveras and catrinas that you now see today#and one of the ppl hosting this ep mentioned how when it came to the face painting while it is a thing in mexico nowadays#this wasn't a thing according to where this person grew up in mexico#mexico obviously adopted bc it's just as capitalist as the states and will profit off indigenous cultures/the aesthetics of it#so when it look how commercialized the celebration in the u.s. w party city selling catrina costumes#stores like michaels and target selling decorations#hell disney making coco the fact they wanted to trademark dia de los muertos and when researching for the film#profited of the real life stories of oaxacans who were never compensated btw#like when you take in the full picture it's no longer a surprise of how we got here#robi rambles
