#just a vent into the void

Also not to contradict my previous post but there's been an alarming tendency of YouTube guys leaking into GWAG and posting their Patreon previews there.

I get it - YT has been becoming increasingly difficult to post any "spicy" content on but GWAG is a porn subreddit - sure there are always exceptions to the rule like the "But Master" series that hadn't become "porn" until part four, but I'd like to see you try post the first three parts on YT - and if you only post "technically SFW" content I feel like it's not exactly your place. There are quite a few GWAG VAs who have Patreon, but they don't post previews on Reddit - they just advertise it on their page. On the other hand, those kinds of previews would also often seem out of place on say r/lgbtpillowtalkaudio because most of them aren't vanilla and/or "cosy, sweet, soft, soothing" - they're functionally kinky porn just without the porn part.

An exempt from GWAG Wiki:

Also, this is less of a technical thing and more of a feeling, but knowing those kinds of guys (from YT) I FEEL like if they were actually posting their full content on GWAG they would... not necessarily get banned or reprimanded but face moderation - they're not especially good at tagging their stuff properly.

All that said, I trust in GWAG mods more than I trust in any gods, so I'm sure it's going to be okay at the end.

Something something we are the other in the political landscape that more than half of voters don’t want to think about apparently. Whether or not they hate us or want to ignore us when they vote, how can you when you created the other when you made and took a stance in the dichotomy in the first place. How can we be polarized when any day you might wake up and be disabled. Or when one day you might experience horrible unfairness in your life and wish you had community and understanding but bc you didn’t stand for oppressed people in the capitalist hellscape you have no one to stick up for you as a person when the capitalist machine eats you too. How can you hate us when we are you.

Some of you people sound exactly like the fundamentalist adults in my life who were dead sure that Obama was going to abolish religious freedom and term limits and turn the US into a single-party state when he got elected in 2008 as opposed to like. being a pretty standard-issue federal politician with policies they didn't like. You know that, right?

you guys ever feel so unloved that not even the yandere fanfiction hits anymore? :/

the “just following orders” crowd when it comes to azula is so aggravating to me at this point. A) you realize that line’s been used to attempt to justify atrocities throughout history, right? it’s not the flex you think it is.

B) so many of these people show their hand because they apply that ‘logic’ to azula but not zuko. and to be clear—they shouldn’t! zuko trying to capture aang may be “following orders” but it’s still wrong. the difference is that zuko actually LEARNS this and atones for it. a huge part of his arc is realizing he CAN’T justify the wrong he’s done by following his father’s orders.

so the hypocrisy is kinda staggering.

Deep deep fear that one day all my friends are gonna decide they just don't wanna talk to me anymore for whatever reason and unfortunately, I won't get the memo and will keep trying and that'll just make them hate me more :(

I often worry that I look like someone who only likes things for "shallow" reasons (shipping, memes, jokes, shitposts, ooc headcanons, etc.) but I'm also too shy and scared to ever try to post more serious thoughts on fiction online ever. I spent so much time in lit/english class feeling like my interpretations were always wrong or not focused on the right things, and so I'm just left to assume that those faults of mine probably carry over to now and the things I like as well. So while I really enjoy analyzing and picking apart things I like in my head, I'd never post those thoughts online out of fear of looking stupid, but I'm also worried I look stupid not posting any real serious thoughts. People seem to assume that what someone posts online represents the totality of their being or thoughts sometimes. I also think I don't owe anyone a certain way of enjoying things, but I also know that people can be judgmental assholes about it (which is simultaneously why I don't want to post sincere analysis and why I feel like I look stupid not posting it).

To make it clear I think there is nothing wrong for liking something exclusively or partially in a "shallow" way, I also don't think those are actually shallow ways of engaging with something, and I like things in those way too, but I know others can be assholes about it and I have a lot of hangups over how I'm perceived by others

I know its been said on here again and again but investing in your hobbies really is sooo helpful. I used to be excited to get home from school so I could eat and now I'm excited to get home so I can paint or draw or bake and I don't even think about eating

The curse of being in the fandom of a popular media and watching as “serious” metas that you know are based off fanon memes go viral is to know pain.

Ah of course it was that simple. Well... I hope Spring is enjoying her freedom, wherever she is. Spring's soul is okay... right?

My soul is fine!

Boy let me tell you all the fun I had this month I was completely free!

I went through many dimensions and solved many puzzles, getting inside someone’s personal work

Everything was very beautiful, I really hope this individual is doing better with his struggles though!

I then went to a subway station and got lost many times…

Many, many times…

But the places I visited were very interesting with very interesting people in them as well

After getting loss many times on that subway station, I decided to take a break for a few days in someone’s house, it was cozy, but a bit too welcoming for me…

At the end of my journey, I went inside someone’s mind!

It was bizarre but mesmerizing, many interesting things in there

I had so much fun exploring with no limits

…

But the month is over and the deal is broken, now I'm back and my body hurts… I wonder what he did while I was gone…

I hope I get to visit those places again someday in the future… they were nice…

I think it's funny how most of us here went from Sad™ and Depressed™ as children/teens, only to end up ✨Sad and Depressed✨ adults.

Funny in the way that, we thought things would never get better, and they did. And funny in the way that they actually never DID get better - we just learned how to cope.

Except that we actually *didn't* learn how to cope, we just got used to it. Which really means, we didn't got used to it - we are just too tired to care.

Going through my worse depressive bouts before felt like fighting teeth and nail for a way out. It was hell, and it burned, and I cared. Now I simply shrug and be thankful there's fire to make some coffee. Does this make sense?

It was so loud and shrieking before, and now is more of a constant heavy hum, always there just out of reach, clinging to my legs and feet, dragging itself on the floor like a old dying beast. Once in a while it remembers it's alive and rips by flesh with its teeth, without any warning. Then back to playing dead. It bites less frequently now but my God, does it hurt.

I'm glad to not have to constantly fight for my life anymore, but I miss the days when that was something I wanted. I'm afraid I tipped the nihilistic scale too far and now I'm just sort of drifting away, little by little.

It's too quiet now and I don't like it.

I have no hope of a normal way to go about making friends. I have been corrupted, the ultimate power of Autism unleashed.

like, everything I do that normally my friends wouldn't bat an eye at, nothing. The jokes don't land, and when they do, the laughter is AT me, not with me.

Only then, once I'm quiet, speak only when spoken to, once I've boxed myself up, will they give me the time of day.

After that? I have to prove myself "enough" CONSTANTLY in whatever way so they won't leave me. An old dog performing tricks to keep from being replaced with a newer, cuter puppy.

I'm more confident now, yes, but I can still see just as well as I did before the blank stares before meeting the others' eye, how they look at me, I can hear it in their giggling at what is supposed to be a joke but is really at me.
