#like sorry that i am correct and you are chronically online??

[die-mitri]

Idk if this is mean to say of if anyone will agree with me but like... If someone writes a meta and you wanna argue in their comments/asks.... But then you don't post your own analysis of the characters, shut up maybe?

Like I came here to gush at some guys I like and you are being annoying and not even having anything to show for yourself.

Do you only voice your opinion when it's to bother someone else???

If you care so much maybe write your own metas and you won't feel the need to be a fucking nuisance in my notes?

Idk I don't go into other people's meta's to disagree with them. I just get my opinion off my chest on my own damn blog.

[livvyofthelake]

if i could time travel back to august i would tell myself that it’s not worth it to submit my own script for consideration for this class and i would rather just work on someone else’s. i think i flew too close to the sun there. would quite literally rather be in the boy group than doing this shit rn i’m so over it and it hasn’t even started 😐 “we have to make the budget” “we have to get the documents ready to be printed” girl be so serious we have two months to fill out these fuckass forms. printed when. three weeks from now? you want me to wake up at 8am on a monday morning to meet you so we can spend 15 minutes filling in forms that we won’t be printing for at least 2 weeks. a task i could easily do on my own from the comfort of my couch. you want me to meet up with you so we can discuss the budget (of which there is none. we are paying for this ourselves) of things we haven’t even locked down. like what do you mean you want to talk about the budget. you want to talk about how much it would hypothetically cost to pay an actor we haven’t casted. what is this imaginary world she lives in where everything must be planned out perfectly. i know i’m starting to sound like the bad guy with my “we’ll figure it out as we go” philosophy but seriously girl the more you plan something like this the more it will inevitably go wrong. like she needs to relax before i fucking kill her

Maybe this is a controversial opinion, but its one that I've been reminded of in the few weeks since things have escalated so severely in Israel and Palestine-- I feel like the pressure for random, average individuals online to be vocally political is not only entitled and uncomfortable, but also just an example of misplaced priority.

Like, I have people on twitter right now that are flat out saying if you don't talk extensively about I/P you're truly, irredeemably evil. I've had mutuals say that silence means you're complacent in genocide, that you have blood on your hands (exact words). But it just doesn't make sense? Most of the people who I've seen being flat out harassed for being silent are teenagers who don't have money to donate, working class folks who don't have time to spare, and normal people who just don't have enough of a following online to even spread any word effectively. Of course, the ones doing the harassing are also poor/busy/not-popular, but they don't see the irony. (I've also seen them say that talking about war constantly is taking a toll on their mental health, saying they've cried, had nightmares, panic attacks, etc...but they also say that taking a mental health break from social media is "selfish" and genocidal, so.)

The whole interaction leaves me with so many questions. If stepping away from social media because politics are stressing you out (which they are known to do), are you obligated to use social media? Do you have to use twitter to be a good person? What does that say about people who can't afford a phone, or live in a country where it isn't quite possible? (Are homeless folks inherently genocidal, or is that an "obvious" exception that was never clarified because no one uses nuance anymore?) If you have to talk about world events, lest you side with the oppressor, at what point is something so catastrophic you *must* talk about it? Is there a number of lives lost that is low enough you can get away with being quiet, and a certain amount too high that you're obligated to talk about it? Is it your duty to have the news on 24/7 to make sure you don't miss anything and catch all the global disasters as they happen? How much do you have to talk about something for it to be considered "enough"? Is there a quota??

It just feels like a lot of people are acting as if people who aren't chronically online aren't 1. doing any activism, because the only important activism is social media networking (sarcasm), or 2. are inherently bad people for *not* spending 6 hours a day on their phones. Like, I had someone I thought was a friend say I was a bad person because I was trying to cut down my social media usage, because the timing was "too convenient"... as if that's a normal thing to say to someone, ever. Sorry if I went on a little bit of a rant, it wasn't my intention. I dunno, maybe it's just me; I've seen a lot of people saying this sort of stuff so maybe they are the majority. It just feels really weird to let people that are addicted to social media take charge of who online is "good" or "bad" based off their internet usage. As if we were all catholics or something. If I were to say that current takes on morality were very catholic-seeming, would you know what I mean?

As recently noted, I am myself on an embargo from answering asks related to this topic. I will make one exception because this is important. Please note that any wank in replies or reblogs will be instantly blocked (and I won't hesitate to disable reblogs if necessary). I will not be answering follow-up asks or getting drawn into Discourse. I do not want to do it and it will not be happening.

I have said it before, but it bears saying again: thinking that the only way to Do Activism is to be constantly on social media and immersing yourself in terrible things nonstop and then posting the Most Correct Opinions (and then viciously attacking anyone who is even slightly Not As Correct as you) is absolutely bullshit. If you're engaging with this content so much that it's giving you a mental breakdown or otherwise plunging you into a spiral of anxiety that you take out on other people who are just as far removed from actually doing anything about it as you: why? Do you really think that you and you alone, one random person on the Internet, are the only way anyone else is going to find out about these things? Or do you think you have to perform the Most Correct Opinions nonstop, viciously harass anyone who isn't responding in exactly the same way, and this is the sum total of what your response should be? Especially in a situation as bloody and complicated as this, dealing with reams of religious, social, cultural, and political history where the average commentator on this conflict knows only what's been fed to them by propaganda on TikTok? How the fuck is that useful or constructive for anyone, aside from perpetuating the idea that you have to be angry all the time on social media about things you essentially know nothing about? I can't see that it does.

What's happening to the Gazans right now is no qualification or equivocation, a genocide. It should rightfully be opposed and called what it is. But unfortunately, I have spent too much time around Western Online Leftists to believe they actually care a whit about stopping genocide as a fundamental principle, and only want to be seen to loudly care about what their Ideology has told them to care about. If it means hand-waving aside genocide and atrocities when committed by their preferred polities, so be it. Why haven't these same people been wall-to-wall up in arms about what Russia has been doing in Ukraine, or for God's sake Syria for the past ten years, if they're really concerned about the rights of innocent Muslim civilians attacked by a far-right imperialist power? Why not the Uighurs in China? Why not [insert the blank] of all the terrible things happening in the world as a result of far-right fascist genocidal imperialism? Why only this conflict? Why now? Why does it involve so much excusing of terrorism as long as it's committed for the Right Ideology? Why are some of the most loudly pro-Palestinian accounts on here also the most rabidly pro-Russian? How does that make sense? To put it bluntly, those genocides are being committed by nation-states that Online Leftists like for being "anti-Western," and therefore their activities are actually fine and should even need to be defended.

My point is not to say that what's happening to the Palestinians is not bad. It is. It is awful and inexcusable. However, I seriously doubt the motives and morality of those who are being the loudest about screaming on social media and attacking everyone else for not instantly repeating their views. I seriously doubt that the Online Left actually opposes genocide and accelerationism as fundamental principles, because they proudly demonstrate every day that they don't. Until those vast factors can be dismantled and shown for what they are, and this can be placed into its larger context, I don't buy it and I don't believe this wall-to-wall social media outrage factory is actually aimed at helping the Gazans or anyone else suffering the most as a result of this. It is just to show that they can be counted on to Perform Outrage and harass anyone else who doesn't do the same, and that does nothing for anyone whatsoever.

Introduction pt 2

heyy, i didn’t update my last post and i decided to just make completely new one. idc if anyone is intrested in me, so i don’t really know what to tell, but anyone can ask me anything (i’ve never made online friends i suck at this lol). i am basically chronically online so that’s easy way to start a conversation with me, currently i’m obsessed with slushy noobz and i have watched them for quite a while (and i know hamzah from way back) but i don’t really have anyone to talk to about that kinda stuff irl so that’s why i decided to start posting here and interact with others who share my interests! okay enough yapping for now, here are some facts about me ->

Like i told yall, my name is Mils, nothing interesting about that XD

I’m turning 18 really soon (let’s go sagittarius season🥳)

I’m not from United States and also english is not my first language. I am interested in learning more english tho, and i would like to use it more, especially with people who do speak it as their first language

I know it’s kinda cringe to tell others your diagnoses when you introduce yourself, but i just wanna put it out there - I have adhd which was diagnosed pretty recently, so that’s why my interests and “fixations” (i don’t like that word) chance often. so if i start randomly posting about something new, like about a new series or something, that’s why lol (i also know that hyper fixations and stuff like that doesn’t always mean that you have adhd or whatever!)

Also if any of you have adhd (or add whatever) and want to talk about it and share your experiences and what has helped you, i would be interested!

(Edit!) I also just re-did the MBTI personality test and got ISFP, i really relate to it so if any of you is into that type of stuff i would like to hear your opinions and results on it!!

Idk what else to say, ask me anything if you want to know! and sorry if i wrote something incorrectly or made and grammar mistakes XD (you can correct me i don’t mind)

[katzkinder]

for two servamp characters: sakuya and lily?

Give me two characters and I’ll tell you which would win in a twitter style internet slap fight and why

Hmm… This is a good question. It would definitely depend on the topic with these two. If Lily is bothering to engage it’s probably about Misono in some fashion since he’s not really one for Baby Fights, even if he DOES like winding people up.

Of the two, Sakuya is more likely to get himself suspended during the course of it but Lily is a Grown Ass Man publicly beefing with a gay teen so, by virtue of twitter dynamics, the rest of the skittle squad will probably come to Sakuya’s defense as long as he manages not to suibait long enough

Transphobic things WILL be said to Lily, because even the English publication mistook him for a woman at first, and it completely derails the argument because now Sakuya has to go “hey what the fuck??”

Lily is also very very good at keeping his Happy Face on. The way to talks online is very sweet and kind and not at all mean, so no matter how Sakuya responds, he looks like an asshole because let’s face, he’s spicy cabbage. Wait could you call him kimchi? Fermentation is kind of like a form of rot, and he’s dead. So.

Where was I going with this?

Anyway.

I think, ultimately, Lily comes out looking the most favorable because of a combination of factors, and we all know that’s the real victory in a twitter fight. Not whether you were correct, but how morally superior you come out looking on the other side of it.

Lily later gets blasted by some chronically online fifteen year old (not Sakuya) for “trans baiting” (I’m sorry if you didn’t know this was a thing being discussed as if it were a real problem over there. I really truly am) because he’s a very pretty man with a girly name who loves pink, fashion, and makeup

TW // Insults, sorry I really lost it this time.

Why do I get hate massages on a normal account but here noone dares to write me? Just because I designed my other account more vulnerable? Stfu. Omfg.

Calling me unnormal while I just exist and you go out your way trying to "correct" the way strangers are.

Life sucks. There are people that are making mistakes and are maybe not being the best.

Being normal means being able to tell apart if it's worth your time hating on a stranger in the internet or if you rather focus on the war crimes and governmental neglect we experiencing.

Get a fucking grip on reality you chronically online brainwashed fucks. You're being the delusional piece of shits. I am done with that fucking shit.

Soon you'll meet people that aren't Anti Harassment. Soon you'll find a person that ACTUALLY is crazy.

Soon you'll meet someone who would get out of their way and spends their time trying to find out where you life And these people WILL ruin your fucking life, if not even kill you.

Oh.. and who's behaviour is similar to that? Yours.

Your just acting like a crazy person.

Be fucking happy that normal Proshippers aren't like that.

We know what is normal and what is not but your blinded by your fucking generalizing groups of people ideology.

You're just as bad as homophobes and racists. Going for groups of people that don't fucking do shit to you.

Go for important people.

Spend your time on reallife politics and not your social media world you fucking Piece of shit.

It was small, minor even. In all of the pageantry, hoopla, stunts and shows that come with the annual Met Gala — celebrities decked in haute couture, multiple costume changes, group chats and social media timelines rushing to outdo one another for jokes. But in the middle of all that, Queen Latifah walked the 2024 Met Gala Carpet with her longtime partner Eboni Nichols.

When I first saw it, well, I screamed a little. Ok, maybe I screamed more than a little. But you have to understand, it’s not that we haven’t seen Queen and Eboni walk a red carpet together before, they walked the Oscars carpet together in 2022 and more recently they walked a different red carpet together for an AmFAR benefit in 2023. She first publicly acknowledged Eboni, and their son Rebel, from a BET Awards stage by thanking them both as her “love” while accepting her Lifetime Achievement. But if you’re a queer person and especially a Black queer person, who has been a part of this community at any point in the last 30 years, I also know that you get it. This is the queen. After rooting for her journey for so long, after she was a queer awakening for so many of us across so many years, every forward step still feels lucky somehow for us to witness. Each one feels like a breath of fresh air.

I posted my all caps emotions to Twitter because for better or for worse, I am chronically online. I thought it would do maybe a few hundred likes. Some love from a few other fans. Again on some level I intellectually know… we have been here before. But somehow still, the Met felt different. Walking the world’s most famous carpet, with every camera trained on you and your partner in your matching black & white gowns felt different. Anyway, it ended up with over 45 thousand likes in a day. And that’s when I knew — I wasn’t alone.

To be very clear here, I do not believe that Queen Latifah owes us Dana Owens. In 2008, after being arguably the most famous woman rapper for nearly two decades and an Oscar-nominated actress, she told The New York Times that when it came to her romantic life, “You don’t get that part of me. Sorry. We’re not discussing it… Nobody gets that. I don’t feel like I need to share my personal life.” And she’s absolutely correct. We are not owed hers (or anyone’s) coming out. We are not owed beyond what she has left for us on stage and screen.

But it’s also hard not to feel this as a homecoming, deep in your bones. And I hope that if Queen sees this joy spreading across the internet as pictures of her and Eboni go viral, that she knows its meant with pride in her and gratitude for all that she already gave us. Everything else is a bonus.

I have loved Queen Latifah since I was eight years old. I loved her longer than I’ve known I was gay. In so many ways, she taught me a lot about strength, and independence, and loving other Black women and not taking any shit and womanhood. So it’s impossible, now, not to gush when Emma Chamberlin interviewed Queen and Eboni together on the carpet and asked, “Is this a date night?”

Queen takes a deep breath and smiles before teasingly calling Eboni “Eb.” Eboni fills in their banter and says that she playfully threatened Queen that this was the year they were doing the Met, and she better make it happen. Like an old married couple who’s been here a thousand times before, Queen Latifah picks up the story there, saying that she wanted to be “the hero of my household.” And so now, here they are.

I’m saying… this is Queen Latifah… being flirtatious and chivalrous to her partner, live and in front of cameras? I am on my knees. We used to dream for days like this!!

(No, literally. Do you know many times I have wished I could be silly and thirsty and overdramatic on the internet for their love story??? To even be able make a joke like “I’m on my knees” in same that’s usually reserved for an umpteenth number of white skinny lesbians in their 20s and 30s. To borrow even more internet speak: I cry 😭)

I think a lot about what it means to be Black and a lesbian or bisexual or queer and a woman over a certain age. In part, I think about it because of this job (writing about gay people on the internet), but also it’s because of this job that I know so many of the queer icons I grew up loving — for whatever reason, they’ve never felt like they could come out. Not fully. Not in such a way that we can openly write about them.

And there are a lot of days where, to be honest, that doesn’t matter. Everyone, even celebrities, is entitled to their own life story. It’s truly probably none of our business. But Queen Latifah did an interview with her longtime partner and after loving her for what feels like my entire life now I get to all caps yell SHUT UP YALL, THEY ARE SO CUTE and they are and it’s perfect. Sometimes, that matters too.

[profound-bouquetbird]

Hello! I saw this about another fandom and thought I would love to see it with toh, can I ask for some hcs about the modern social media pressence of them? (Any you want, but my favorites are king and the veterans but in their young version, like eda, raine and lilith) about, how they spend their time online, their favorite app, how they are on instagram?, or their texting style. Ty!

I seperated everyone so that no one gets confused :)

Edit: omg, why did this take me so long??? 😭 😭 😭

I'm so sorry you had to wait this long for your request to be posted, and I'm sorry to the seven other people in my inbox that left a request 😭

I'll try to write it as quickly as possible, but writers block is hitting me like a brick rn 😔

Eda Clawthorne!

I'd say she'd be pretty well known, has a good amount of followers

She's not famous by any means, but there are a few teasing comments from her classmates and or friends. For example: "Oh my god, is that (insert her username)! Can I get an autograph???" Y'know, stuff like that

I'd say she's chronically online, constantly quoting the latest memes and is sort of up to the trends. Would do the typical dumb dares people have made up, but is always doing them on the brink of the trends end

I'd say her favorite app is... Tiktok? Yeah, looks like she'd be obsessed with that app

Knows more about the news and global warming and all of the stuff that the adults are supposed to hear and worry about. I'd feel like she'd have multiple weird facts pop up on her FYP and would either spill the horrors of her 'fun facts' to her mother, or would run to Lilith to tell her yet another fun fact she managed to find

And as for the Instagram bit, as previously stated, she'd have quite the amount of followers. I'd feel like she would post her 'epic stunts' that she did in the backyard, you could hear a faint voice of her mom yelling her full name before she cuts the video short. Also is the type of person to post horrendous memes on her page (I am guilty of that crime 😔)

She always leaves encouraging comments on her friends Instagram posts and stuff, I feel like I should put that in

As for her texting style, it's caos. No commas, no new rows, no punctuation, no nothing. Literally texts like this

hey lilly mom said we r gonna get mcdonlds be out of UR ruum in 5 mins

She knows grammar and has the ability to type correctly, she just doesn't feel like being grammatically correct when texting. It's your problem you can't read it 😒

Lilith Clawthorne!

Is actually pretty famous... Well, at least on her other profile

She's that 'aesthetic smart girl' you see on your page that never shows her face. Also does bomb powerpoint presentations and posts them on her account (ppl eat that stuff upppp)

Eda would be the only one to know about her secret account and she swears to keep her mouth shut. Although the secret account does slip out of Edas mind often, so Lilith doesn't have to worry all that much about the word spreading

But, on her main account which she shares with her friends... It's literally just her friends. Of course, you have her sister and people she hangs out with/is cool with, as well as her club members, but thats pretty much it

On her main, she mostly posts stuff about her school and her successes, such as the awards she gets in contests of the medals/trophies she recives

Again, Eda will the the one hyping her up in her comments, but she doesn't dare to hype her up on her secret account, as to not rish accidentally spilling the beans in the comments somehow

For her favorite app... I'd have to say: 'Instagram'. I would've said Pinterest but it doesn't quite sit right with me fully... Instagram feels like a better fit

Always scrolling through reels, but also opens Tiktok from time to time (specifically to search for the memes Eda is quoting so that she isn't as confused)

Texts normally, like how you'd see people text on the daily. But, if she's mad, I can also see her writing painfully grammatically correct sentences with words that everybody forgets the meaning of

No, I'm not gonna set an example because that's too much thinking.

Raine Whispers!

Raine would be avarege in the followers count. They wouldn't be all that famous, but they also wouldn't be completely invisible

Definitely is the type of person to have their account private for a few years before toughening up and macking their account public. That was oddly specific but we'll move on

They'd mostly post selfies with their friends, of course an occasional recording of their progress with their violin as well as some bard magic tricks (like that whistling in the cup)

Doesn't get that many comments on their posts, but when they do they make sure to either like it or fully reply

Isn't as chronically online as Eda but is up to date with the memes. Is always able to quote with or continue a quote Eda began. Trends always somehow end up on their for you page when they're scrolling on Tiktok

Favorite app? Oddly enough: 'Twitter' 'X'. Loves to read the drama people have, and when there is nothing to do they just scroll onto people's accounts

And for the texting style: the perfect middle. Just enough punctuation to make it make sense, but not too formal to make it look like a business e-mail

[princessefemmelesbian]

Space lazar wolf responded with this to my reblog and I don’t know how they did it because I blocked them but either way 😵‍💫 I’m making this its own post because I don’t feel like unblocking them and entertaining a conversation with their stupid ass but I feel like this needs to be said.

first of all “consensual sex” it doesn’t matter if in this scenario it’s “consensual” or not. Because this scenario is fabricated. The fact that you’re conjuring up an idea for a story in which a lesbian fucks a man and promoting the idea that lesbians can actually fuck men is corrective rape rhetoric no matter if you say it’s “consensual” or not(ever heard of “Adam”?). Lesbians do not have sex with men(and no this isn’t me talking about lesbians with comphet who fucked men before realizing their sexuality, they are valid; I’m talking about lesbians who are aware that they are lesbians). We don’t want to. And saying that we do want to, or can, for ANY REASON AR ALL is literally promoting corrective rape. Do you not understand that?! If a lesbian does “have sex” with a man and it’s not because of a) comphet, b) being closeted, c) sex work or d) I’m actually not sure what the d is and if there is one then I forgot lol, then 100% that lesbian was actually raped by the man. 100 per fucking sent.

And secondly “corrective rape survivor” I’m legitimately sorry that you were correctively raped. Really, I am. But if you experienced this trauma then why in the fucking hell would you post about lesbians fucking men and unironically vouch for the idea that lesbians can fuck men, knowing damn well that this is the same idea that gets us correctively raped in the real world?! Like.

And before you say “nobody thinks that in real life, log off of your computer” I’m here to tell you otherwise. “Lesbians can fuck men” isn’t just a chronically online thing. It’s everywhere. It’s what every cishet(or at least attracted to women) man believes when they hit on us. It’s a fetish in porn. It’s used by men to lesbians as a threat when we’re not interested in them(and of course we’re not, because we’re lesbians, and lesbians don’t fuck men, I must continue to emphasize). Every lesbophobic man’s fantasy is that of a lesbian “taking their dick” and being turned into a straight girl who is totally happy to be their brainless passive sex doll forever and ever. And it’s all rape and coercion fantasies, whether the lesbian is presented as “consenting” to having sex with the man or not(and lbr most of the time they are not).

You are a corrective rape survivor and yet you are spouting and spreading the exact same fucking rhetoric that men use to force themselves upon lesbians and literally writing out a corrective rape fetishist’s fantasy dressed up in “totally kweer progressive inclusive” language and if you can’t see the irony in that then you are a sad fucking shell of a human being. I pity you. And you should be ashamed of yourself.

And frankly, if you think that lesbians can fuck or be attracted to men then you are literally no better than the men who prey on us and threaten/try to/actually rape us. End of story.

Do better.

Person people ship you with: Gorou

“Dear [Y/N], what is Gorou to you?” The question took you aback. Of course, Yae Miko would put color into your ‘affection’ towards Gorou.

However, unlike what they all think, or at least what you think they think, Gorou is simply someone you want to take care of, like a son. You’ve ‘adopted’ some of your classmates before. You were sometime considered as the ‘mother’ of the group.

Answering her question doesn’t come easy as someone who doesn’t know you very well. You were only transferred in this class for the second time in your whole academic life so… “A friend?” An eyebrow raised followed by a pause. “I mean, he’s adorable but no, I’m not romantically attracted if that’s what you’re asking.” “Hey! Don’t talk as if I’m not here!” Gorou’s red up until his ears. You just giggled at him. He is so cute.

School officer that helps you cheat: Heizou Very fitting lmao.

You were going through your Chemistry test. Double checking your answers and all that when your pen decided to take a deep dive off your table. Ah shit. You were going to go pick it up and Heizou did so for you, and that’s when you noticed it. A quick glace at Heizou’s paper showed you his answer for number 35. It asked for Planck’s constant. You didn’t have an answer for it yet as both Avogadro’s number and Planck’s constant shared the number 6 as the whole number, the rest you didn’t bother to memorize but the exponents. You knew that Avogadro’s 10^23 and Planck’s is in the negatives. Heizou got it the other way around.

“Thanks.” Heizou handed you your pen before going on with his test, throwing you a suspicious look while you went back to double checking your test. Once you were done, you simply put the test on its back side and laid your head upon it to look like you’re taking a nap. You blankly stared at nothing, trying to pass time when Heizou spared you a glance just as you were about to actually nap. You handsigned, said hand hidden from the test proctor but in Heizou’s plain sight. 3. 5. C. He looked at you like he had a sudden realization and went back to the said number. Yep, he corrected it. Soon he was done with his own test. Like you, he laid his head down as if to take a nap and- he drew on his thigh. 9. 7. A. You looked at him in the eyes and he winked at you. You just smiled back. 5 minutes before the test was over you made the correction. In the end, the both of you aced the test. It isn’t like the both of you needed help but an additional point won’t hurt would it?

You may not be the most braindead chronically online loser I've seen on here, but you're definitely in the top 10. Also I don't know how you think people would pay for your ugly ass low effort commissions, they range from looking like a 12 year old just discovered MS paint to a quarter finished doodle on some math homework

Well anon that's because some of them are quite literally made in MS Paint.

But also,my art is not low effort, I put time and love and joy into most everything I draw. Because I enjoy drawing.

Like yeah they're sloppy and scribbly and they look very unfinished but I like doing it.

Shit, even the MS Paint stuff I enjoy.

Yeah they're not good. But they're fun to make.

I draw mainly for myself. I draw my OCs a lot.

Because I enjoy it. I like what I do.

And I improve!

DOKI DOKI JUMPSCARE.

So uh.

Sorry you don't like my art, anon. And YEAH ffuck it does hurt a bit that no one wants to commission me, but that's ok. Because it doesn't stop me from making art that I enjoy.

Also yes I am chronically online blah blah blah I don't have a job yet and I'm not really trying all that hard to get one yadda yadda. I'm not a loser I'm a jock, I'm not braindead I'm autistic and correct and based and so on and so forth anyway why do you feel the need to hide behind anon or even send hateful shit in the first place? Who does it benefit? Not me, it's not going to make me change my beliefs, and it's certainly not helping you. I mean, you wasted your time seething over some autist online who makes "ugly low effort art" and I took that as an opportunity to show off some of my art.

I think instead of being a cringe hater, you should try being a based music fan. And by that I mean, I want people to listen to my playlist of songs I like immediately.

So yeah. :) :P :3

( do not read this if you just want to vibe and look at my silly undertale posts, just read it if you’re able to handle more intense topics)

Because people seem to think everyone is on the same ‘playing field’ as them or that people who are ‘lucky’ or privileged have everything sorted out.

Stop fucking assuming every fucking autistic/adhd etc person is the same. This post isn’t directed at anyone, I just need to let this out. i am so fucking, sick. Of people assuming everyone knows everything they do about social shit, or that everyone you meet will immediately know all your fucking triggers/baggage whatever. This applies to me as well, I’m just fucking say that people need to stop acting like everyone has the same ‘common sense’ for a number of different reasons. 1. Not all fucking ppl with autism have the same abilities, fucking assuming one autistic person should know something just because you’re autistic and you know it, like certain social cues/tones in text etc.

2. Stop assuming that everyone will understand you or whatever. People come from different backgrounds, all different kinds of people exist and there’s billions of things that could be going on with someone without you realising it. (I am guilty of this) just generally don’t assume people know everything you do

3. can the fucking??? Internet stop acting like mistakes can’t fucking happen? Like for example if someone makes a mistake and they’re young, don’t make them carry that forever. If someone makes a mistake and they’re older, depending on the severity of the mistake. It should be treated differently. Stop acting like everyone has to be perfect that doesn’t fucking exist.

4. For the love of god stop assuming other people are as chronically online as you are, if you’re one of these people I’m sorry this post is generalised and vent-y not in anyways an attack on you, I’m just trying to communicate that not everyone is the same. And if you yell at someone for something or whatever, try to keep in mind that not everyone has the same algorithm as you, not everyone knows the same things as you. Literally everyone’s internet is different it is SO DIFFERENT. Not every person is naive or innocent, no. But a lot of people don’t intend to be harmful or rude when they’re engaging online. The majority of people in fact do not want to cause any harm and will gladly accept education IF GIVEN IN THE CORRECT WAY.

stop fucking assuming, stop fucking hating on people instead of educating them. Stop fucking harassing people for not being at the same level you are.

This is not to say I am not guilty of any of these things. I have stated before and will state again that shockingly wowie I’m a flawed person. Oh my god who could have guessed? So yes.

another thing is..

STOP ASSUMING SOMEONE THATS YOUR AGE WILL BE AT THE SAME PLACE YOU ARE IN MENTAL MATURITY OR WHATEVER.

this happens so much. Like not everyone matures mentally or grows as a person the same way, it may take time and I know it’s difficult because I struggle with this too, just to remember that not everyone is on the same racetrack. Some people think differently and it takes longer for them to grasp concepts that you already grasp.

now I’m not saying “oh he’s 25 and did something racist he must be misinformed” no bullshit, just do things on a case by case basis, if the person apologises in an honest way and has a reason not to know certain things and corrects it from then on it’s not a problem. There’s a difference between wilful ignorance and unintentional ignorance. Or whatever.

I don’t know if I said any of this right or correctly. But I needed to get this off my chest. You’re free to disagree, heck you’re free to correct me do whatever you want, I’m just saying how I feel at this very moment as I write this, and it may or may not be the wrong opinion. I am well aware that i do not know how my posts will be recieved until they are recieved. So there is no way to gage from my perspective if this is right or not.

I just want people that don’t understand things and get outcasted as something broken because they aren’t able to grasp ‘common’ concepts to know that it’s okay. You’re not alone. Everyone isn’t perfect and it’s okay not to know how everything works right away, I’ll be with you every step of the way as you grow. Rome wasn’t built in a day, don’t force yourself.

i fr hate being a bisexual (woman) and talking to other bisexuals irl bc they are all so chronically online now. i say shit like "i'm not oppressed specifically for being bisexual so much as I am oppressed as a woman and disrespected by homophobes for my same-sex relationship" and all of the sudden im a bigot? like i keep saying to people "why do you WANT to be oppressed? why do you WANT to be a victim of biphobia" and theyre always like "I dont wanna be a victim of biphobia, i AM a victim of biphobia" and then when u ask them to elaborate they either can't or they tell some story about how their mom asked if they were straight now bc they started dating someone of the opposite sex. this goes for men and women, i see it a lot especially as someone who's been febfem for 10 years, it's almost always the het-partnered ones who are the most insistent biphobia is real. I recently spoke to a het-married bi woman at my work and the topic of biphobia was brought up and she was like "wow, that must be new, when I was younger it was really cool to be bi and I knew a lot of lesbians who would pretend to be bi so they'd be less likely to get messed with by homophobes. it sucks that people hate bi folks so much now." and i was like n. no its still just regular homophobia.

sorry for rambling i just appreciate any corner of the internet that has not been ambushed by this bullshit.

im not sure if u meant that ur like victimised by homophobia or maybe u dont wanna say that cause u feel like its disrespectful to gay ppl or sth. personally i think bi people are targets of homophobia esp when theyre in same sex relationships and im all for bi ppl talking about their specific experiences w homophobia (since theres overlap but also it will naturally differ a bit from the homophobia gay ppl experience).

but also unfortunately way too many do seem to think things that we can argue are prejudice or ignorance or erasure is akin to oppression. its true, many bi ppl are assumed to be either gay or straight. its a harmful and false misconception and should be criticised and corrected. i would not say its on par with systemic homophobia tho.

"wow, that must be new, when I was younger it was really cool to be bi and I knew a lot of lesbians who would pretend to be bi so they'd be less likely to get messed with by homophobes. it sucks that people hate bi folks so much now."

omg something about this comment.............but i do remember bisexuality was extremely trendy in the 2000s and i think 90s too?! not sure id say its very hated now as opposed to then tho. i think the same ppl who hated bi people also hated them back then as they do now, and i highly doubt theyd feel any better about gay ppl.

Notes: Dems, you're doing it. You're Trying. Keep Trying. This is good.

I'm seeing people rework old comics to advertise everything I said should be, Not because of me, but because They Tried.

That was it. You can try too! Try! Because it's better to start a fire than sit on your hands for warmth. You don't need to be a genius playing 4D chess, sometimes the obvious isn't so obvious til it's done. Do it. Now.

I'm seeing people in droves shitting all over the handcrafted for Biden talking points, sometimes by redirecting them back at Dump, like him being the oldest running candidate now.

The bad points for Khamala likely won't stick as hard in 4 months as Biden's 40 years has for him. If she fucked up, you shouldn't defend it, you should demand better so that Dem politicians do too, you won't retain voters with stubborn apathy towards dem cruelty.

This way onlookers don't see "dead end/genociden biden" again. That crumpled the party, and the remaining Blue Fanboy's pro-genocide messaging pushed many away from dems entirely. It pushed me into discussing politics far more publically ffs. Damn certain I'm blocked by most at this point for not riden with biden's genocide. Feel free to steal anything I write about politics and spread it in your own or better words.

Main thing to focus on is Hype.

Dump lost the popular vote by 7mil last time. He's bleeding votes but not support. We need to make messaging that demotivates R's into believing even voting won't make up the difference while motivating people to vote dem for progress. Anti-Dump is losing steam, ya need hope and progress.

"Keep things the way Dump left them" or "Dump makes it worse" was Biden/BlueFanboy Messaging. Where we were and still are heading if the hype is killed again. Khamala represents potential change from that, you cannot let Blue Fanboys take over again, you cannot get stuck defending genocide while fear mongering another's possible.

"sorry but the other side is Blank and no matter what I'm votin-"

This isn't for you. You're chronically online expecting that to spread to normal people. It does, but it gets telephoned into garbage before it even has the chance of being in your intended format.

"I'd vote for a corpse-" I'm sure dems are that out of options, I really am, but that messaging is murder for hype. You aren't voting blue for XYZ belief, you're doing it to punish republicans who will never change and allowing Dems to worsen because they haven't reached R levels yet. You're doing it out of a belief the other side is worse, that's unfortunately debatable to the average joe. You need them to go "Oh shit they're legalizing weed?" or "Oh shit they're fighting medical costs?" not "They both approve of genocide but a Dem genocide has rainbows!"

It's genuinely the most hype-killer phrase for a political party yet. "I'd vote for Blank over" Ya aren't even positive about the party you're voting for. You're negative towards both but distinctly one more than another. There's nothing to bring in votes there my dude. Just means politics is the show it really is anymore to them.

If you can't be positive about your party, then, for onlookers, be positive in changing that with Dems in charge but not R's. That there's convicing that can be done for Dems and Never, Ever R's.

I cannot stress enough, if all ya'll do is "Not Biden" Khamala, you've doomed us to a 2028 R presidency. She needs to be Khamala, much like Bernie is Bernie and AOC is AOC. "Not Dump" was all Biden had ya'll. Please. Don't "Not Dump" Khamala, don't let that be all she is while in office.

I don't mean "to you" I mean for her. She cannot sit on her hands doing the obviously wrong thing when the time matters. She cannot "save christmas" by allowing trains to crash and spill chemicals, potentially if not actually killing people like you and me.

She has to retract the 40 headless babies bullshit, correct it firmly, and acknowledge the genocide. They faked Aid Trucks into humanitarian tent reserves and shot a little toddler girl over 130 fucking times. If she's pro-genocide, she loses the anti-genocide crowd permanently and I will actively be holding her accountable for it as normal people fucking should. Hold. Them. Accountable. Or Lose.

Being Pro-Genocide is not being Team Blue or BNMW, it's being Pro-Genocide.

Otherwise, ya'll got it going. The problem is that the second criticism comes in ya'll turtle and punch like bitches. Time to acknowledge and work against bullshit and focus entirely on progress. We cannot sit on our hands expecting dem politicians to do their job like we did with Obama and later Biden.

None of us should have to debate against Dump solely by discussing Dump. We should have a good candidate that's obviously a Good Choice, not "the better poison".

Biden's "accomplishments" did not affect my day to day positively. I still can't afford medicine and food. I still will never own a home. Prices keep skyrocketing. Yes that gets worse under Dump- What do you not understand here??? You cannot motivate people with "Not Dump" you motivate them with Felt Actions. Biden had None other than being anti-union, a Felt Action of negativity. He undid some of Dump's shit and recorrected the ship away from the iceberg, and did some politics, the barest of all minimums. Can medicine other than insulin not cost thousands eventually?

Khamala represents that to me, and only in 2 months time will I have the chance to really say if Dems dropped the ball or not. She has to be Khamala. She has to be anti-genocide. She has to be a Good Choice.

"Not Dump" didn't work in 2016, didn't work in 2020 that well honestly, and it failed miserably in 2024 already before the elections.

What ya'll are seeing and doing? Keep it going.

Forever.

Never. Fucking. Stop.

Maybe the Dem party can be saved from it's apathetic, company controlled self at that rate. Y'know, even though those same controllers bullied Biden out through wealth power. Y'know maybe I shouldn't be hopeful for anything actually. I doubt most dems really care to fix the bigger problems, just abortion.

There's still only 10 dems in office with any courage or ethics. Yeah we didn't change shit switching to Khamala. We just killed R messaging and our own near decade of advertising. But at least Biden kept his Interim promise, just, uh, 4 months from the fucking election when we have no other alternative but His Choice. Blegh. It's a two-way street.

Dems will do messaging until Dem politicians essentially tell them it was a massive waste of time by doing The Obviously Wrong Thing. Then Dems stop and all that's left is the chronically online Blue Fanboy having a debate you're glad you've never heard of before. Such as "Which genocide is better, blue or red"

Imagine thinking being anti-genocide is a bad thing when there's not one good bit of PR for Israel since Oct 7th. We pay their free healthcare folks. They faked aid trucks into a refugee camp and shot a little toddler girl 130+ times. Dems can afford to be anti-genocide, I believe. And so can their politicians, for certain.

Otherwise, still third party til I see some action by her. So far she's just been a magnet of bad PR for dems all around that had to be hidden from the public for years. That's genuinely so bad I dunno what to tell ya. I wouldn't be confident in her, but if I was a Dem I wouldn't have much choice in having to publically back her.

Up to her how this goes. Will she guarantee an R for 2028 or will she keep them at bay til 2032. Not hard to say logically, but it is emotionally. No confidence. But at least Dems are trying again, just...hold them the fuck accountable? Jesus christ you treat criticism as worse for prospects than the actions they take, like an abuse victim.

And They Were Roommates

Author notes: hi hi! This is going to be my first time writing and publishing a proper story on tumblr! It's about two teenagers who end up living together. It takes place in Tokyo. I hope you enjoy it! CW: none. Talk of past relationship Word count:2352 7 pages

Chapter 1: Flyers

  Mira’s POV

I’m not picky with who my roommate is. You think the earth is flat? Sure buddy, whatever floats your boat. Chronically online? Same actually. Into kinky shit? Do that with someone else when I’m not around. Ex Yakuza member? Just don’t get me more involved than I’d like. Basically, as long as you leave me alone and respect my space, feel free to room with me.

However…

I am still a fifteen year old girl living alone that doesn’t exercise nearly as much as I should so filtering my roommate options more than “not an incel” and “under 35” is a good idea.

I think the ideal roommate would be someone my age who is also chronically online. Gender and sexual/romantic orientation be damned as long as they respect my boundaries.

Now I do the thing all sensible people do when roommate hunting.

I put up flyers. In the mall of course; where else would I put them? A prison? Well I suppose I could put them up at the local arcade and some cafes.

“Urgh, I wanna finish my anime though,” I huff, tacking up another poster in the food court. It’s a big space in the centre of the mall and it almost always has people there from the time it opens to the time it closes. The food court was a big, circular space outside. It has all the restaurants like Mcdonald’s, Sukiya, Starbucks, Matsuya, KFC, and, well you get the idea. Coffee tables usually had 2-4 folding chairs in the centre with an outer ring so people could walk around and order food from their desired restaurant. It’s a great place to hang out with your friends.

If you have any that is.

In case you couldn’t tell, I don’t really have friends. The three that I do have are two online friends who I’ve never met in real life and my ex boyfriend. I feel like all these relationships would have red flags at a first glance, but they’re all trustworthy people. Well, I at least know my ex is, since I’ve met him face to face.

I walk through the mall, passing all the different types of stores and take a left, exiting the mall, letting the sun shine its rays down on me. While I prefer my dark, air conditioned room, the sun and fresh air gives me power and a touch of energy. Not enough to, per say, run a marathon but enough that I can do the fifteen minute walk from the mall to the arcade. By the time I got there my energy was gone in the sense that I wasn’t as “preppy” and more “I want to go back to fucking up newbies in call of duty” if you know what I mean.

“Uh Yuki, what are you doing?” Well speak of the devil. I know that voice. It’s one of the few people I’m actually friends with.

“Stop being so formal Kyo. I told you, just Mira is fine.”

Who knew I’d run into him here. Sweat is dripping down his face, making his brown hair stick to it and there’s a dark spot at the front of his shirt. Who in their right mind would willingly get that sweaty during summer in Japan. Actually, was that sweat or water from… I don’t know, running around in a sprinkler?

“Sorry,” he apologises. “I’m just used to calling most girls by their last name. And since we’re not, you know, together any more I wasn’t sure if it’d still be alright.”

“Pfft. Don’t worry, it's fine,” I give a slight chuckle. “I just don’t like it when people are all formal with me. So just go back to calling me Mira.”

“Y-yeah. Right, sorry.”

“Dude stop apologising, it's not your fault.”

“Sor- um, OK.”

I ruffle his hair. It’s warm and sticky, very much matted to his head. I’m like, 99% sure this is sweat but I still want to know if my “theory” is correct, so I ask.

“Oh yeah it’s sweat,” Kyo confirms. “I have baseball practice for the summer.”

“Wow, that’s kind of amazing,” I say. It’s amazing to me and my hermit ass, but I’m pretty sure this is just basic stuff people do.  Not to say that I don’t exercise at all. I usually try to get out of the house for one hour everyday. I mostly go on walks but sometimes I climb trees. It feels more natural than sitting on a rooftop and swinging your legs. It’s also safer and easier to people-watch.

“Not really,” he replies. “Just basic stuff.” “Well it’s amazing to me. Oh! Before I forget-” I take a few flyers from my mini backpack. “I’m looking for a roommate. I can’t pay rent next month only taking commissions and whatever I have left of my savings. If you know someone interested, preferably around my age but I don’t care, then tell ‘em to give me a call.”

“Yu- Mira, I don’t think there are a lot of high schoolers that are looking for an apartment,” he takes a flyer and gives me a look of what I assume to be pity. 

“Reaally encouraging Kyo.”

“Look, I’m just being realistic. I’ll put these flyers up, but I do have one question.”

“Shoot.”

“Why do you have a two room apartment anyway?”

Caught off guard by the question, I laugh. Honestly, I don’t know what it is about Kyo, but his genuine questions, especially blunt ones like that, are just kind of fucking hilarious. “I use the extra room for storage and as a writing room. It looks like a fucking spider decorated it with the amount of string and pins I’ve used to organise it.”

“That… doesn’t sound very organised.”

“I really like the fact you’re blunt,” I say. He never gave me that impression when we first met. Honestly, he still doesn’t give me that impression now. His straight brown hair matted to his baby face and big amber eyes, he seems like such a quiet and timid person. Another word I’d use to describe his appearance other than cute is submissive. Kyo is all those things, but not so much that he’s a pushover.

“Seriously?” He asks, eyes wide.

“Seriously. It’s one of my favourite things about you. I can’t sugar coat my words around everyone so it’s nice that I can just… be more honest around you I guess?”

“I’m pretty sure I got the bluntness from you Mira.”

“Well, I think I started to be less of a prick thanks to you. Looks like we both got something out of our relationship. Other than being friends of course.”

“You… think we’re friends?”

I smile and it doesn’t feel forced. “Well what else would we be? Crazy exes that can’t be in a room for two seconds without fighting? We’ve known each other too long to be acquaintances. Plus, we hang out a lot”

“Yeah I guess you’re right,” Kyo says sheepishly. “It’s just weird hearing you say it.”

Now that surprises me. Did I really act that distant and cold? I mean, I guess I did when we first broke up but I didn’t know how to act. It was my first relationship and I was the one who broke it off so wasn’t that how it was supposed to go? I was supposed to be the asshole who didn’t love you, then you find someone and realise that you’re so much better off.

But with Kyo that didn’t really happen. A week later he messages me on Discord to see if I want to play Genshin and the rest is history.

“Oh, crap! I gotta go pick up groceries for my mom! I totally forgot.” Kyo lets out a disappointed sigh, and starts jogging away. “See you later Mira!” He turns back to wave at me before being swallowed up by the crowd. I offer a small wave and look at the stack of papers in my other hand. Doing the rest of these is going to be a drag. I know a way to get it done quickly but it would probably be too dangerous. I guess that means I have to use my “author powers” and get creative.

Let’s see. I could just start handing them out but that’s a lot of social interaction with random people I don’t know. Plus, I’m probably going to get weird looks. I could also scatter the papers to the wind, but it would just end up as trash. Of course I can always just do the sensible thing and continue to tape them up, but I’d rather not. 

The longer I think the more I can feel the sun’s hot rays on my back, and my hair starts sticking to the back of my neck. Why did I wear a black sweater out here? Seriously, who forgets to take something like that off? Seems like I’m that someone. At least I had the sense to wear a T-shirt under it… Which is also black. I keep saying I need to expand my colour pallet to be more than blacks and greys with the occasional splash of white, purple and green, but I just get distracted. I’m still close to the mall and I have enough for at least a shirt and shorts.

“Might as well. I’ll at least be out of the sun.”

Taking off my sweater I wrap it around my waist and grudgingly walk back to the mall, which is quite crowded by this time. Makes sense since it’s five o’clock. A lot of people get off work around this time, and usually they’re hungry. Of course there’s also the couples on a date, the teens hanging out with friends, and families wanting a (somewhat) relaxing without the stress of cooking.

Then you have me, the idiot with summer clothes exclusively in black and dark shades of grey. Yeah I’m starting to grasp the reality of my own stupidity.  I conveniently left out the part where most of the clothes I own also happen to be various hoodies and sweatpants. Wow… I need to get out of my room more often.

I need to but I don’t want to. That’s the main problem. My want is always stronger and more important than my need to me. Not a healthy trait but I’m still alive so to me, that’s basically all that matters other than being able to write.

“How may I help you?” Someone asks. Noticing the person at my side I look them over. Bubblegum pink hair down to their waist, big ice blue eyes and a tall, slender frame. If they were a model I wouldn’t be surprised. Judging by their uniform and name tag They work here. Their general look makes me assume this is a girl.

“I’m looking for a summer outfit,” I say. “Your name tag says you’re Hoshi Asuka. Is Hoshi-san alright?”

“Hmm,” the worker purses her lips. “I prefer Hoshi-chan. Cuz I’m cute.” She gives me a wink and smiles. Clearly a teenager. Probably around my age too. “So looking for a summer outfit eh?”

“Yeah. Anything comfortable really.”

The girl sighs. “You’ll have to give me more than that. Like, are you looking for a dress or a-”

“I’m looking for a dress,” I say quickly, cutting her off. “Preferably not white. That will get dirty quickly.”

“Alright! Let’s see,” Hoshi leads me to the dresses. It’s beside the skirts’ section and if you turn the corner you’d find the dressing room. The dress section and many racks of different types, from modest dresses reaching to past the knees and covering up to the neck to ones that reach to the thighs and have more of an open neckline and ruffled sleeves. Of course there were other dresses that were more of adults looking to party or a night out with their partner. A few could barely cover your ass.

“You have a wide selection,” I say.

“A lot of women shop here so we tend to have a wide selection,” Hoshi replies. “Certain style you’re looking for?”

“Umm casual? Not too tight. Maybe around my knees?”

“Got it! You’d probably be looking for,” she rummaged around in the racks, before pulling out a dark purple dress. The dress was sleeveless, only covering my shoulders, with a boat neckline and a ruffled hem that was just above my knees. I think it’s rather cute.

“How much?”

“About four thousand five hundred yen.”

“Do you have a size medium?”

“This is a medium.”

“Ah. I’ll just take this to check out.”

Hoshi hands me the dress, taking the hanger off so I don’t accidentally take it home. Carrying this and my flyers are going to be hard and the walk from here to my apartment complex. It would be so much easier if I looked like a cute sociable girl instead of a hot mess. It’d also be better if I was cute and sociable but that’s life I guess. While I can’t change myself, the answer to my problems is right in front of me.

I adjust my grip on the dress and put down my flyers on a nearby table holding different varieties of clothing, all neatly folded.

“If you can I hand these out please,” I say gesturing to the stack of paper. “That would be nice. If not just shred it I suppose. Thanks for your help.”

“W-wait, excuse me ma’am I can’t just-” she splutters.

I don’t hear the rest of what she says as I go to pay for my dress. It’s actually quite a nice one, I hope it doesn’t collect dust in my musty closet.

And I sure hope I get that roommate.

[lgbtpolitics]

Whether they are being mean or not entirely depends on what they're saying (I do know this isn't actually them about to gossip lol), I think this attitude of "You should never say anything about anyone unless its to their face" is a bit unrealistic and ironically kind of immature. Its fairly normal to have things to say about someone that aren't something you would discuss with them, or indeed you might wanna discuss with someone else first.

"Do you reckon she fancies him?" "Did it seem to you like we were overstaying?" "Am I the only one who gets annoyed when she does x?" and so on like I'm sorry not all of these are pleasant but its silly to think everything can fit into a box of either being a non issue that you dont care about or something worthy of having some big talk about it with the other person.

When I was about 12/13 me and my friends had a phase of insisting on "If you've got something to say, say it to the person's face" and it didnt last long because its basically just going round hurting each other's feelings for no good reason. "That thing you do is really offputting, ofc it wouldn't be fair to ask you to stop, I'm just being honest about it being annoying." why? I suppose you could argue the more morally correct thing would be to not mention it to anyone at all but idk people are human.

Also I know this is a Chronically Online problem but it irks me when people say "This is my special interest so I'm definitely right about it" like its not a master's degree. And even if it was interpersonal relationships is still such a complex topic like you don't just get to claim authority.
