#is it a social norm? yes

Kind of a rant

In Japan, being a public disturbance is reallyyyy frowned upon and if someone is, it's pretty common that a stranger will scold them. Usagi and Mamoru's dynamic in the first season gets misunderstood, because that sort of thing doesn't really exist in the US. Usagi's primary setting is "public disturbance" and Mamoru coincidentally keeps being the person who scolds her. Americans just see it as bullying because the idea of a stranger scolding you (for something *you* did wrong) is foreign to them. The US is individualist but Japan is collectivist, so there's more accountability for bad public etiquette.

people are just constantly like "why is he bullying her😢😢" during scenes where usagi is breaking like 5 massive social rules at once. for context, some japanese social rules that will get you scolded if broken would be: yelling, talking loudly, sitting on the ground, crawling, throwing things (duh), running, bumping into people, and eating while walking (you could run into someone).

when mamoru makes fun of her for "stuffing her face" or something, he's not criticizing her for eating, he's criticizing her for eating while walking.

basically, the concept is "what if the person who is rude in public and the person who scolds them ended up being in love haha". it's really not that deep, like it's just silly. usagi ignores basic social rules, and then acts dense when she's being scolded, so the five year olds at home can be like "haha that's so silly. also i shouldn't eat my candy while walking so i don't run into people like she does".

these interactions are a comedic way to teach young children everyday etiquette, basically. and mamoru's scolding being completely ineffective and making the issue worse adds to the comedy

(i do think gently explaining to her that she's bothering others is what would get through to her, but that's not very funny and would be really anticlimactic so.. also her character arc is literally about being less self centered and taking others into account more, like these fights are thematically important too.)

Rereading Oathbringer, and it's once again so painfully clear to me that Lirin pushing Kaladin to become a surgeon was his desperate attempt to keep Kaladin from going to war. As a surgeon's assistant, Kaladin was exempt from being conscripted into the Alethi military, and sending him to Kharbranth would get him even further away from the war. I know Lirin gets a lot of flak for trying to push his views and desires onto Kaladin, but all I really see is a father trying his hardest to protect his son from the horrors of war while living in a society that venerates it.

Playing KCD 2:

Me as Henry, closely after the falling out with Hans, but because of Tumblr knowing exactly what can happen: "Oh my god, I can't believe I'm going to fuck this prat."

The catchpole: "Wait, you don't have to-"

Me, as Henry: "Oh, no, I will."

Today has been one of those "Sorry! I couldn't hear you over the texture of my socks" days.

friendly reminder that L canonically falls on the overly fussy about cleanliness side of personal hygiene rather than the grubby side. He is probably a bit odd and/or lazy about some of the methods he uses to get clean (like the jokes in that one-shot where he has Watari change his shirt for him and bathes in a human washing machine thingy and owns a conveyer belt with a bunch of identical clothes), but not about BEING clean (he probably has certain habits like delicately holding things by his fingertips partially because he dislikes getting messy so much, and he often hires other people to do the truly dirty work for him as well)

life hack!! shift your sleep schedule up two hours by being so bored and depressed that at 10pm five nights in a row you find yourself thinking "the only way to salvage this day is through the sweet oblivion of unconsciousness" and then immediately going to bed so you don't have to figure out another way to pass the hours ✅

Hot take I think Dawn could be a very interesting villain. She wouldn't be openly malicious like Scott or enjoy the suffering of others like Mal, but more of a true neutral. You know she could absolutely use her abilities to show people their true, ugly side and force them to confront their demons head on. An outcast, a deep seated sense of resentment. She wouldn't start the fire but she would watch everything burn

realizing I'm actually deeply hateful of what algorithm based social media/social media as a whole has done to how we interact with our friend groups on a local level 50/50 because I'm a mentally ill socialist and because I work tangentially in marketing so I know how it's rigged

In regard to this poll

This poll only talks about cases where there’s no medical emergency involved, so you — the person who picks up the cellphone for someone else — have no idea who the caller is or what the call is about. You just pick up the cellphone for someone else because they’re not around. They can be your friend or even your spouse, but that’s not the point.

I forgot to post here, but I redid Gallant's original design awhile back and I am looking for ways to use them in this form again.

Travel the planes of time, cause rifts, accidentally just crack their power form and just wants to be home for someone? The possibilities are endless!

A short view back to the past on F1 drivers' questionable relationship with food and exercise:

- Valtteri Bottas suffered from ED around 2013

- David Coulthard suffered from bulimia in his teenage years

- George Russell said "I can't afford to have dessert cuz I weigh 72kg in the morning" in Miami 2022 [PSA: as long as your overall diet and nutrient-dense and balanced, you can have desserts in moderation]

- Charles Leclerc said in 2018 that he "tries to workout enough that he can afford to eat whatever he wants" [PSA: you should never "earn food" through over-exercising]

- Also Charles in his 2023 winter training videos, mentioning how he "was quite good over Christmas" and "worked hard enough today so he can finally 'enjoy' his dinner" (ngl that video was a bit triggering to me cuz I see my ED self in it) (not implying he does have any problems in this regard) [PSA: every food is good food and again you don't need to overexercise to "earn" food]

And here they are, a fia-accredited media, doubling down on their job that already have weight requirements and their very questionable relationship with food, posting body shaming comments about drivers, under their east Asia fatphobic social norms. (I am allowed to shit on it cuz I AM from east Asia)

As someone who suffered from ED and is still recovering from recent relapse, I find it incredibly triggering, disgusting, and potentially dangerous. This body shaming promotes nothing but fatphobia and weight stigma, and can be very triggering for those who already have issues with food.

I bet whoever wrote that caption has no awareness that eating disorders have the highest mortality rate among all kinds of mental health issues. I bet whoever wrote that has no idea that eating disorders affect people of all genders, races and body sizes. I bet whoever wrote that caption has no recollection that eating disorders are under diagnosed in many demographic groups such as men, especially male athletes.

I am personally grossed out by that. And I hope I will never see that.

And please. If you have issues with food, seek help. Go to see your GP and talk to them about it. Go to see an ED specialist and get help from them. Talk to ED helplines and see your options.

I'm fed up with all the "Halsin was traumatized by his three years life being drow mistresses' plaything so seriously, that he couldn't blablablabla" thing. If we talk about trauma, mind that he had spent a hundred years desperately trying to find and free Thaniel and lift the shadow curse and failed and feel powerless and guilty for it, I'll say it's tramanize him more than anything.

Halsin was born with a soul bonding to nature that he could see Thaniel from his childhood and didn't even realize Thaneil wasn't a "normal" soul, such a golden spirit he is. Yet someone said it's because he was not accepted by his society so he stick with Thaneil. Excuse me? WHO NEEDS HUMAN (or elves, whatever) FRIENDS WHEN HE COULD PLAY WITH THE VERY SPIRIT OF NATURE ITSELF??? To make it like the nature was only the second choice for him, that he turned to nature only because he was disregarded and mistreated by societies, that he was forced to chose nature instead of HE WAS INITIALLY BOUND WITH NATURE FROM THE VERY START, that he used nature as a disguise rather than HIS FIRST AND FORMOST CHOICE IS ALWAYS NATURE ITSELF, sounds so arrogant and civilization-insolence to me that makes me feel it's an insult to the very core of Halsin's personality.

Just accept that he's not into Tav that much! He is not interested in making a commitment with Tav bcs he is not interested in committing himself to any individual damn it! His heart laid with nature and I AM FUCKING LOVING IT.

I know ppl talk about his trauma with different reasons and some genuinely love him and sympathize his experiences with their own, I totally understand it. But some ensusiatic focus on his "trauma" and the insisting of Larian didn't dig enough into his "trauma" sounds bordering kink talkings to me. If anyone really into sexual trauma kink that much, just turn left to Astarion, he has tons of traumas to appease ppl's fetish.
