#just a bit of a rant

[raewritesf1]

Some of y’all have never lived through a situation of watching two genuinely close friend slowly stop interacting publicly because people kept unnecessarily pushing fandom shit into their faces and it shows.

Stop trying to show Max your favorite 50k word lestappen smut fic! No, don’t try and explain to Seb that one of the longest fics in a multi year fic about him and his former teammates married life! Dont try and show Charles the fic about the sex life of him and his childhood best friend!

Tag driver in fan art, and cool craft projects, or even some fluffy race edits. Don’t try and share this part of fandom with them it never ends well, and it’s not the funny little joke you think it is.

So like… I don’t know what pokemon to give Red as his sixth team member. Honestly, idk if I need another character, but I do know that he’d have a full party… unless I give him a reason not to?

Ugh.

I just remembered this presentation a group gave last year in one of my sociology classes. For reference, this was in, and I cannot stress enough, a college class. We had to give final presentations on some social science topic or issue, and this all-female group gave one on masculinity... They introduced the subject by showing pictures of soldiers and action movie heros and started talking about how men need to uphold traditional stereotypes better? That men needed to stop crying and going to therapy because they should, "Go punch holes in walls like my brother and dad." It was awful. We had to ask each group questions, and I asked if they had researched healthy masculinity, queer masculinity, etc., and they literally asked me what those were -_-

Do Not Regret Taking Care Of Yourself

I say this to you but also to me. I have been reminding myself of this pretty much all day. I was at the Bittersweet daze show yesterday, and twice had to leave the pit to go sit. It was really hard because the first time was during Maias set and I love her music and have for years and she was the biggest reason I wanted to come to the concert. And the only reason I did leave was because I literally was about to pass out(first time I have ever actually gotten that close to passing out and it lowkey scared the shit out of me). So I got out got some water and found a place to sit on a bench next to a really nice old lady who asked me about the show and the artists and talked about her kids and how she needed a break too. She will never see this but I hope she knows how much I appreciated sitting with her, made me feel less pathetic somehow. The second time ended up being right as cavetown began playing Juliet, I probably would have stayed but my legs were so shot at that point that I knew I wasn’t gonna last and wanted to make the trek back to the car while I knew I still could. This one hurt. I was actually crying in a bathroom when it got to the part and it was so surreal to be in that situation and hear everyone yell “shit he’s so pretty” and not be there down front screaming along like I had dreamed. But I went to the car and cried a bit but was honestly okay with my decision because it would have been mortifying to have collapsed and been that person that didn’t take care of themselves(which obviously shit happens you can’t always control it but in this situation it would have been me not listening to my body saying it was done). And I’m okay, I cramped like all night and barely slept but, I can walk. I didn’t pass out. And I can just watch the videos other people have posted of the couple songs I missed. Being okay, is better than creating a more traumatizing experience for myself. I loved every minute of the concert and the parts I got to experience are more special because I did listen to my body and knew my own limits.

This was my way of working this out for myself. I haven’t been super content with my decision till now. My anxiety has latched into it and it’s hard to stop thinking about it. My anxiety is wrong. I made the right call and I am the better for it.

Lmao I think the Lana fans on Reddit successfully bullied me into no longer being a fan.

Like, I still love her music and aesthetic and I relate to a lot of the shit she writes about but I said I needed to take a break given the fact she married a Trump supporter and then Trump won, and then a bunch of people came out of the woodworks to call me a moron and a cunt.

Like, I am all for separating the art from the artist. Lord knows I do that for a lot of people (I love The Smiths but I hope Morrisey shuts the fuck up forever), I even said so in the post I posted that I am all for it, but these people still tore my ass to shreds lmao.

there are many benefits to being a ground-type pokemon trainer

Why is it guys can push your boundaries, say outrageous stuff, be all weird and you have to be ok with it but when you say something they dont like they treat you like shit???

[awerka]

2024 is already looking to be tough. Gonna cut ties with toxic streamers I know and have to really get it in my brain just because I think I've made friends with another streamer doesn't mean they see it as a friendship over "networking friendship".

Some hard ass decisions incoming but ones I've known I needed to take for a long while now.

currently thinking about how easily charles said “well that sounds a lot like you, doesn’t it? wait, maybe that’s why i like her so much” and somehow neither of them registered the implications of that statement because that’s a fucking crazy thing to say to your best mate in regards to a girl you fancy

[elisabeth-forbes]

I’m this close to just biting the person I’m currently working with. Like my dude just respond to the emails when I’m on AL so they will stop calling me!

beautiful games i've played ➤ final fantasy x

"Die and be free of pain, or live and fight your sorrow! Now is the time to shape your stories! Your fate is in your hands!"

[crowleys-hips]

nghhh ok so. imagine you and your bestie have this cool idea and you make up a story together for shits and giggles, and then it goes viral and becomes super popular. then, because life is a bitch, your bestie gets sick and before they die they tell you "hey you know that story we did? it's be super cool if you could write the ending, i wanna see that happen" and then they die. so you're left with this and so ofc you go and start writing the rest of the story, but now more people are invested. and they didn't like the middle part you wrote and are threatening to drop a grand piano on your head if you don't give them what they want and you're like ??? "this isn't for you, this is for my friend." but they keep shouting at you and demanding stuff from you anyway.

yea. that? don't do that. it's fine to have emotional reactions to stories and characters you're passionate about, but if you don't like something, you're free to make your own stuff. the story isn't for you. we get to enjoy it too, and that's awesome, but this isn't about you.

i really wouldn't ever wish for anyone to know the kind of pain that losing a best friend feels like, it's world shattering. but if you've ever lost anyone close, you'd probably understand. but even if you haven't, it's no excuse to act so entitled to something that's not yours.

please for the love of Somebody, learn some respect.
