We didn't start the bullshit...

... It's always been there, jsut in different piles.

In the 80s, schools told kids that wearing a Walkman was bad because hey, we heard about this one kid who was so busy listening to his walkman that he walked in front of a car. Bam splat. Ded. Because that's what Walkmans did to you.

True story.

Brought to you by the same people who assured us that the world was just wall to wall with drug dealers who'd give you that first hit for free to get you addicted and within 3 days of snorting a reefer, you'd be injecting heroin directly into your eyeballs with a turkey baster that had been used to scratch a cow's arse or something deranged.

This was delivered by a guy wearing mostly shades of brown, who was chain-smoking something that was pretty much road tar with some asbestos and formaldehyde for flavour, and drinking something called Babycham which had a label that turned about 36% of kids into furries.

Not that you could do much about it since the invention of the Interconnected Furry Network, a subset of which is called "The Inter- Net" had to wait for Tim "Bearness" Berners-Lee to stop messing with his Fursuit and finish coming up with an acronym to call his new network tech.

#buddy daddies #kazuki kurusu #miri unasaka #buddy daddies 1x10 #for the better right?#just had to get this off my chest #as a child who prized access to my beloved people and routines and familiar places more than anything #i would have been absolutely DEVASTATED to find out that not only could I suddenly not go back to the place I had been living #but I would never see my parental figures who had been raising me for almost a year again #and not only that but they LIED TO MIRI about it being a SLEEPOVER to get her to go!#yeah four-year-olds wouldn't necessarily understand everything that makes that situation necessary #but they deserve to know in the larger sense that they're leaving so they have a chance to say goodbye #considering that Miri has already been sent away and rejected by one parent and that we've seen her abandonment issues before #I hate that they chose to spare the feelings of the adults by concealing the truth from Miri #it WON'T be 'easier on her' to hear that her papas told her she would have a sleepover and they will never come to get her #and she will never see her room or her clothes or eat Kazuki's cooking or play games with Rei again #it's not even a clean break! Misaki said she was going to keep Miri at the same daycare!#in worrying about Miri's safety and avoiding public meltdowns the adults are hurting her ability to trust in them #it never feels good to be manipulated like that no matter what the reason #but enough about me projecting #in which I babble to the world #memes

I know the Oak Swallows Garcia house didn’t have pets but if they did I just KNOW if Normal had a fish that died in the night it would be replaced with an identical fish before he woke up and he wouldn’t learn the truth for years

Hero on the other hand is an older child. If her fish died it was dead

#dndads #dungeons and daddies #noodly #inspired by my experience as an older sibling lol #when we had fish when I was a kid?#dead within a couple months #when my youngest sister was a kid?#that fish got replaced for years lmao #also #Sparrow has speak with animals #he could get consent from animals to own them #he just doesn’t want pets #just like my dad who told us he was allergic to fur and it wasn’t until I was an adult that I learned he lied

made my mom cry but i got some serious bull shit off my chest oh well happy mothers day

#shes reading this conference talk where this guy says “trust is the basis of all relationships” and she says i dont think thats true bc how #can a mother trust her baby. how can a mother trust a toddler. how can a mother trust an adult child who has lied or turned their life away #from their parents.#and so i asked her do you not trust us kids?#abd she waffled but eventually she said Yesh. like i love you and i know i can trust you for some things but all of you have hurt me so.#and i said Yeah thats natural. i think complete trust is a superhuman quality i dont think i trust anyone 100%#qnd she says Okay so why dont you trust me. What have i ever done to you.#first of all. 😐 you dont want to hear it so dont ask that lol. 2nd you just told me you dont trust me and i didnt react so calm down.#but anyways i just said to her “youre dependable and i know you wont let me down when youve made a commitment to do something.#but i have emotions and thoughts that i do not trust you with.“#and we both started crying but i stood firm and i told her i love her but she just got up and left.#she loves starting convos like that but i do kind of feel bad for dropping thwt on her esp when she like. had to leave soon for an appt #but . i didnt say anything I didnt mean. and i was just responding to her.

Contemplating the concept of "potential" when it comes to intelligence and realizing how heartbreaking Logan's "Dreams come true, that's news to me" line in the Crofters Musical.

#screaming into the void #definitely not okay today lads #i'm finding myself grieving my intelligence and contemplating if it was ever there to begin with #when i was younger i excelled in science so everyone assumed that i was a gifted kid despite my very obvious struggles in math and spelling #i was told over and over if i could just apply myself to other subjects the way i did with science #then i would do better in those subjects and reach my full potential #my identity was hung on my intelligence for me by the adults in my life none of them even considering a learning disability #now as an adult it all feels meaningless #especially having been forced into going to college where it was made very quickly and abundantly clear that I wasn't actually gifted #i was just average #that was absolutely devastating to me and it's a thing i struggle with and i want to be angry about it but i dont know how to be #i was told over and over in childhood that i could be anything when i grew up that i could do anything if i just put my mind to it #then recieved little to no actual educational support for any of it especially when i discovered writing #and i dont know if i was never as smart as i was told i was or never even had the potential i was told i had #or if i just didnt have enough support #i dont believe in myself anymore and i dont think i was ever actually believed in by the adults in my life either #i think they would have supported me better if they had #or maybe they just didnt know how to #my dad has wondered and questioned me about where my drive ans passion went and i dont have the heart to tell him that #it evaporated when he told me i wouldn't be successful as a writer when he told me that i would only be successful by going to college #when he constantly questioned everything i did and made me doubt myself over and over again #i dont know how to combat this feeling of worthlessness that comes from feeling lied to about my intelligence as a kid #i dont know how to comfort myself in the face of realizing i probably didnt have all then potential i was promised i had #and even if i did at one point have it i lacked the support necessary to nuture and grow it #how does one grieve being promised the world only to find out that was never truly an option?#how does one become comfortable with learning and growing again when it's been made to feel unsafe #and a threat to their frail sense of identity?#how does one find peace and contentment in an ordinary life when they were promised so much more?#not just promised so much more but expected to be so much more and now feel the weight of expectation on them?#i feel like i was promised the world and told that it would be easy to conquer and when it wasnt it was due to my own fault and failings

This event really recontextualizes Li Ling's distaste for authority and desire for justice, doesn't it? It's not just rebellion for rebellion's sake, it's also because Yun Chuan, one of the few people he truly respected who engaged with him on his level was imprisoned and (he was told) dead despite him knowing that Yun Chuan would probably never do anything worthy of imprisonment, and never being told the crime and essentially being told to just forget about it. Like, that's someone who's main interactions with authority were clearly ineffective, and when he finally receives respectful guidance it's taken away in what appears to be an unjust example of authority. No wonder he was a trouble student.

#Dislyte #Li Ling #Like not to start making shit up but making all your classmates afraid of you and then trying to start fights with adults doesn't seem to #Indicate a well adjusted childhood. Also it seems like his father(? Not 100% sure the exact relationship) just like... Shuts him down.#And the way he says it at least to me implies he cares a lot about status like he doesn't want their family associated with a criminal #Which is maybe not the best priorities because this is The First your child is hearing of it. Also idk bc Li has been used for other #Characters and they don't talk with recognition or familiarity but I want so bad for Li Xiao and Li Ling to be related. Please I need this.#Anyways authority has clearly personally failed li ling. Also his dad(? Again not sure) seems like a dick #Mostly unrelated I bet if Li Xiao hadn't told Li Ling Yun Chuan was dead Li Ling would have gone on the warpath to find him #Also in his bounty with the kid he mentions that he would have liked to have someone there for him when he was skipping school...#I'm diagnosing him with autism post haste

sorry I pushed aside the more dominant and expansive elements of the narrative in order to focus on the single character I’m fixated on and expand them endlessly in my mind until they are everything to me regardless of their proportional importance to the larger story. it will happen again

#this is just how I experience media #I’m sure you my followers can think of plenty of examples #but actually this is specifically about treating any and all forms of asoue as vfd furnishment devices #NOT that the Netflix show told me anything but lies about vfd. however it did give me onscreen lemony/beatrice love confession #which matters way more to adult me than I thought

yes, because telling minors to lie about being an adult online is totally going to protect them from being abused and exploited. totally not going to make them even more susceptible as a target because if people think they're an adult they're going to treat them as such and thus will expose them to sexual content. lmao. shut the fuck up

#hideawaysisposting #serious business #cw: grooming #fyi i was groomed at age 11 by a guy on chickensmoothie bc i listed my age as 18 #when i told him the truth he did not stop #he was just like Oh ur actually a minor huh. lol. anyway #and then he proceeded to keep grooming me #and that was 10 years ago!! i lied abojt my age a full decade ago and i wound up getting into deep shit anyway #dont lie abt your age kids #dont list it front and center but also dont claim to be an adult when youre not #thats only going to get you into worse situations #just say youre a minor and leave it at that #no exact numbers #no overly personal information #just say youre a minor. thats literally the safest way to go on the internet #anyway im gonna go make myself a chicken pot pie brb

thinking about diego's stutter.

#the way it used to be a big insecurity for him as a kid.#+ how frustrating it was to not be able to get the words out. like someone was holding his mouth shut.#+ how!! grace!!!!!!!! was key to helping him through it with gentleness and supportiveness!!!#oh diego loves his android mom. he loves her so much.#+ also thinking about how even though he's much much much better now to the point you wouldn't know he had a pretty severe stutter as a kid #how it still comes out when he's particularly distressed.#and oh man hearing adult diego stutter is never ever ever not going to stab me in the heart.#his stutter when reginald belittled him and his stutter when lila told him she lied about stan being their kid... kills me. wrecks me. augh #( i want to write more scenarios where he might stutter tho. )#out of knives [ooc];

man I thought I had made it p clear that doing something you know I'm not gonna like and then not Saying something about it was lying by omission. I'm not gonna like it either way but I'd rather still know than get accidently blindsided by it and feel like it's something being Hidden from Me and done behind my back

#my roommate is smoking /eating edibles and he knows i do not like Either One of those Things anywhere near me but ive Stated id still rather #know than not know??? its like being blindsided by unpleasantness. he said that he thought id rather just not know all together. no????#and if that was thr cas then WHY TELL ME YOURE GOING TO THE SMOKE SHOP??? im going to ask WHY ffs #and then being told hes been doing this and me not knowing so im blindsided by it made me go into a pots attack bec it flooded #my body with epinephrine so i got palpations with a 100+ bpm heart rate #and then he just shrugs it off when i said that it felt like i was being lied to by omission. no?????#like hes an adult. do whatever u want but also im his roommate and i want to know whats going on in this fucking apartment #i get a pots attack after a decent day and hes like “oh thats not good” gee you think. its almost like that ciuod have been prevented if you #just told me what u were doing #now im irritable and cant concentrate and i need to take my meds >:/

probably sounds weird but sometimes i yearn for my front teeth gap

#all bc my mom told me i would hate it when i got older so i should fix it now #bc the worst possible thing i could be in the future is an Adult With Braces if i decided later i wanted to fix the gap #long story short the ortho lied to me (not my mom apparently #just me?)#and only moved the gap over instead of closing it entirely #AND the two rounds of braces is likely what caused breaking in a different tooth #so i have to have that tooth pulled as well and get an implant #it’s not that serious i know but it’s just #it’s annoying how much my mom cared about my appearance as a child due to her own insecurities #and ended up making me self conscious about stuff i didn’t initially even think about #jayy speaks

im so fucking angry

#part of my family lives in Switzerland so we dont see them very often #so everytime they come we have a family dinner at a restaurant #but these past years the dinners were 'adults only' (as in without the children aka me my sibs and all the cousins)#me and my sibs were always bummed but we could see our cousins on different occasions so it was ok #and i absolutely hate my grandfather so im not that sad about not seeing him lol #anyway there was a restaurant dinner on tuesday. my dad said its adults only and me and my sibs cant come. whatever. business as usual ig #but then yesterday i hang out with my cousins. and guess what i learn. they were ALL at the dinner. they always went to the dinners.#and of course i cant be 100% sure but i think i know why it's like this #i think we were always invited but my dad doesnt want us to go so he lied everytime. doesn't want ME to go in particular.#he had lied to me about having told my grandfather i was trans for me (i didnt want to do it myself for reasons) which led me to get #absolutely humiliated and receive a disgusting amount of transphobia from my grandfather when i called him on the phone once. because he #didnt know. because my dad had lied to me. and im fairly sure my dad just wants to like hide me away or smth because he's a fucking #spineless coward. that or my grandparents specifically ask for us not to come lol.#anyway. im so mad. me already don't get to see our cousins a lot and now i learn this. fucking hell #.txt

Truly So many people I grew up looking up to were bi, fucking big yikes that my family still lied and insisted bi people weren't real until I was 17 learned to find bi educational sites and learned that was a big fucking lie to keep me from loving myself I fucking guess

#rant #this includes my mom. who on dating history and ppl loved is definitely bi she just thinks 'bi isnt real' so anyone #who likes a different gender is straight in her mind even if they like ALL gwnders #which i think is a reflection of whatever biphobia she went thru but annoying it hit me by extension :/#but yeah like. even outside of obvious bi figures #my parents would watch Star Trek The X Files The Rocky Horror Picture Show Rebel Without A Cause #play Prince Freddy Mercury Madonna #like. thats queer culture Babey. i went to a Queer theater play last month #and the waiting playlist was all songs i knew every line to from childhood #david bowie. marilyn monroe. like?? some like it hot. like???#and then now that im an adult my mom is still usually the FIRST to recommend me queer western stuff #shell be like How to Get Away With Murder! Black Sails! The 100! Orphan Black! Lost Girl! Jennifers Body!#like? wild to me she lied and told me bi didnt exist growing up #meanwhile literally everything she watches just kinda requires u to accept basic premise bi people are explicitly real and the leads #TORCHWOOD. we both love the FUCK out of torchwood and bi jack harkness (duh hes like us for fucks sake)#like. is it really any wonder they had a queer kid when why the hell wouldnt i turn out just like them #thwy coulda looked in the fucking mirror and went Oh

And I KNOW I was extremely #complacent as a young kid bc I was fucked with anxiety at an age no kid should be!!!#i love my baby cousin so much shes a joy but god the way adults interact with her. She is going to remember all this and it wont be good #cycle of abuse never fucking ended in this family its a goddamn circlejerk and I'm tired of fucking carrying it all on my shoulders

completely new opinions being posted about lyse stormblood in my view and i’m keeping my mouth shut someone give me a sticker

#i don’t even like lyse #this person is just irrationally angry that she…lied about her identity #to a guy who at the beginning of the game is a stranger to her!#you can make a case maybe for her lying to yda’s scion friends #but like papalymo knew lmao so. it’s not like she was hiding from everyone #AND ACTIVELY HELPED HER HIDE?? ARE YOU ANGRY AT HIM TOO #but like why would she tell us #specifically #part of her hiding her identity was a safety thing #like this is a fantasy land and she’s basically a princess of the rebellion #she doesn’t want to be the Second Useless princess lmao #and then when she meets the wol we’re a total stranger! unless you screw with 1.0 #even then the scions don’t have complete memories of u so #Why would she have told us prior to sb #it’s not a ‘betrayal’ she was in hiding and then later she wasn’t #she just happened to grab her late sisters identity for the job #with the help of their ADULT MUTUAL MENTOR MIGHT I ADD #so idk.#that’s such a weird thing to get upset over i guess #like tseren is running around under what is technically a very misleading and fake last name as well lmao #meg speaks #ffxiv
