#ive repeated this a lot on this blog but i rlly think people forget that the person on the other side of the screen is in fact a person

[oceanwithouthermoon]

i think its weird that i have to make this disclaimer but the internet is crazy so wtvr,, anyway,,

if i say i dont like something, that doesnt mean "that thing is bad and nobody should post it.."

i swear literally every time i even mention that i dislike something, people will go "wow does that mean u fucking hate me cuz i post that thing? ur a fucking stupid bitch and all ur opinions r wrong" LIKE ?? er.. no. just because i say i dont like certain characterizations of certain characters (the saiki k fandom is CRAZY about this cuz i can state an opinion on literally any character and a group of people will still go 'well only we're allowed to post our opinions about them because we're always right!1!1!'), or certain ship tropes (mentioned my hatred of toxic yaoi maybe once or twice on here months ago and people STILL get mad at me as if i said toxic yaoi lovers r evil or something), or certain ships, or WHATEVER, does not mean that i HATE the people who are posting them or that i think they shouldnt post them at all, NO, im just posting about my personal tastes on my personal blog and it would be extremely weird and hypocritical if i decided that i was the ONLY person that was allowed to do that,,

i think the only reason people assume that is because there are a lot of other people on here who ARE like that, and a lot of people toe the line between posting that they dont like something and posting that they think everyone who likes that thing is stupid, annoying, and wrong,, so i guess all i can say is, sorry for whatever made you make these assumptions but they arent true about me so plz leave me alone ʘ‿ʘ ur doing the same thing to me that ur accusing me of but i didnt do it in the first place so ur just actively being a dick for no reason

Song stuck in your head:

jerkin by amyl and the sniffers

Weirdest habit/trait?

echolalia/vocal stimming. i am constantly making weird ass noises or repeating things people have just said or quotes that are stuck in my head. my worst ones atm are ‘there’s nothing funny about a firm number two’ a la nandor from wwdits, and nightcrawler’s ‘im blue :))’

Hobbies:

aside from art and writing, im a big pro wrestling fan, and i read a lot. current book is the blade artist by irvine welsh.

If you work, what's your profession?

my official job title is ‘visitor experience administrator’. i work at a tourist attraction and i do emails n shit.

If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? Realistically?

i rlly rlly rlly want to be a funeral director. currently the only thing standing in my way is the fact that I can’t drive.

Something you're good at:

aside from art and writing (if its not too obnoxious to say either of those things) im inexplicably great at cutting and dyeing hair to the point that most of my friends use me as a hairdresser

Something you're bad at:

cooking. fuck me running i am awful at cooking. a lot of it is a motivation/lack of patience issue, but if it takes longer than ten minutes and involves following instructions fuck that im not doing it.

Something you love:

my hairy children

Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff:

x-men; greek mythology; the state funeral/postmortem escapades of eva peron; world war ii but in a special interest history geek way not in a weird fascist way

Something you hate:

the shitty impact that moral purity culture has on fandom/creativity in general. no i will not be writing an essay to justify liking the fictional bad man, leave me alone.

Something you collect:

i don’t really ‘collect’ physical things outside of like, stationery hoarding. i do have a lot of tattoos tho, so we’ll say that counts.

Something you forget:

everything. all the gd time. i have no object permanence and my short term memory is atrocious.

What's your love language?

acts of service and receiving gifts. im a big penguin-pebbler.

Favourite movie/show:

movies: don’t make me choose a favourite from the x men franchise i won’t do it, okay fine all of them but last stand; the adventures of priscilla queen of the desert; hunt for the wilderpeople; trainspotting

tv shows: the boys; deadloch; happy valley; schitt’s creek

Favourite food:

beige carbs. left to my own devices i would eat nothing but bread. i also love chow mein, enchiladas, and anything with garlic. im vegetarian and a lowkey picky eater (audhd innit) and i think that rlly shows in my writing lol. my characters are hardly ever shown eating or talking about food because my own relationship with it is weird. however, i love wine and coffee so both of those things show up in my work a lot.

Favourite animal:

sharks and vultures. vultures are wildly underrated.

What were you like as a child?

LOUDDDDD. i would talk a lot to anyone who would listen, very confident, got told i was an ‘old soul’ a lot bc i spent most of my time hanging out with adults. i also cried A LOT, like at most minor inconveniences, and was v argumentative and bad at authority figures. somehow, i was not diagnosed with adhd until adulthood.

Favourite subject at school?

art and english, to the surprise of absolutely nobody. i also rlly loved history (still do)

Least favourite subject:

maths. i am awful at maths. that said i also hated geography (because my teacher was a dick) and pe (because im a lesbian and changing rooms/teenage straight girls are evil)

What's your best character trait?

godddd this is hard lol. the one i like most about myself is probably that im funny. i have a ‘big personality’ (a phrase which i fking hate since i think it’s used as a polite synonym for ‘loud and obnoxious’) but one of the things i rlly love about myself in that respect is that im good at making people laugh.

What's your worst character trait?

how long do we have lmao. which is to say, shitty self-worth.

If you could change any detail of your life right now, what would it be?

i would like another cat pls (my fiancée said we’re not allowed and im bitter)

If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

bea arthur. i know thats like, bad use of time travel and all things considered she’s not exactly a monumental figure but i still love the woman more than life itself. by all accounts she was an eccentric weirdo who I see a lot of myself in so i would just like to hang out :))

if you are reading this you are tagged :))
