I love idw comics but I gotta complain

Sonic just acts stupid this whole arc, but SPECIALLY regarding Metal

Brother Metal is quite literally lobotomized he does NOT have a choice and Sonic KNOWS THIS why dows he pretend otherwise???

METAL LITERALLY told him so to his face the previous arc, why did he forgot? Is he stupid?

Also also he CHOSE to let him go and “respect his decision”, but then goes and DOESN’T respect it when its one that he doesn’t like (again, not like it was a real choice on the first place, but IF it was, Sonic already knew that this would happen and was ok with it????)

Also, no, they DID NOT give him freedom, they literally had him there and instead of reprogramming him to stop being loyal to Eggman they just let him go. Why the hell are they acting surprised when the machine programes to follow Eggman… follows Eggman???? As programmed???? Idw is incredibly unfair to Metal, that man is a slave and the narrative blames him for it

More given the fact that Mr.tinker was in the same situation (Turning back to evil ways by something out of their choice) yet Sonic condones Mr.thinker and berates Metal for the exact same situation???? Sonic what is your moral compass on this arc I do not get you

This isn’t freedom, this is the illusion of freedom, they’re giving him an offering he really can’t take as much as he’d want to. They did absolute jackshit to help him, he lacks the agency to help himself then blame him for it

Honestly Shadow and Espio were right, the metal virus was Sonic’s fault, but not for letting Mr.Tinker live. His sin was’t his compassion toward him, his sin was expecting Metal to overwrite the coding that makes him a slave

Honestly I could make a whole rant about how much I hate Sonic’s writing in early idw but I won’t because they had gotten better and thank god he’s no longer like that

sometimes i hate being a woman because i just realized i’ve been living vicariously through so many nhl players this entire time because i will literally never make it to that level of professional hockey even though it’s always been my dream. like no matter how hard i work at it or how bad i want it, i will never be good enough because of my gender. it hurts so much to think about the fact that even 100 years from now there will probably still not be room for women in the nhl. little girls will continue to grow up with unachievable dreams because there is nothing in place for them to achieve them. the PWHL only had their inaugural draft this past season. we are over 100 years behind. currently the most you will probably make in the PWHL is $80,000 a year and the average nhl player gets paid $3.5 million per year. that means the HIGHEST PAID women in the PWHL will be paid 43.75 times less than the AVERAGE nhl player. currently, the highest paid nhl player receives $12.6 million per year. 157.5 times less. i’m not even angry about this. it’s just heartbreaking to sit down and think about it sometimes.

I honestly hate the people who are taking the EF stuff about Marner and going "wHaT AbOuT tHe PlAyOfFs?!?"

Marner could have a dominant playoff performance. He could average over a point per game in the playoffs, lead the Leafs to the Cup and win the Comm Smythe. And those same people will go "well do it again next year" and "where was this before?"

Just admit you hate the guy, you're never going to give him credit when he earns it, and go cheer for another team

Tips for coping with other peoples pain and fatigue?

I feel like we've all experienced this. Idk, when other people are in pain and tired, especially my carers (I live with my parents in the summer and then they become my means of transport sometimes. they do most of the cooking, etc.), i get pissed to all hell.

Because, why do THEY get to listen to their body and rest? huh? why do THEY get to take a break when they're tired. It's infuriating. Because I'm constantly pushing myself so hard and it feels like when they hit the barriers i do, they just give up.

I get upset when other people get to give up I suppose. I know its because im forcing myself to do to much, especially to live up to the people who expect me to be able bodied. But like.

When someone who cares about you, notices that you're not doing well, offers support, and then... doesn't because they're tired. I don't know. it's just. ITS FUCKING TERRIBLE.

Im not doing well. Im mid flare, just started my period, and im traveling tomorrow. and it just feels like when i ask for help, people are too tired.

Also no one respects "I can't" they hear "I don't want to." NO FUCKER, I FUCKING CAN'T. NOT WITHOUT THINGS GETTING WORSE.

If someone can't climb a wall without shredding their fingers off, they cannot climb that fucking wall. But if I SAY I CAN'T SWEEP WITHOUT NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE A SHOWER I GET A LOOK LIKE IM BEING DIFFICULT.

AND THEY KNOW THIS. THEY KNOW IT SO MUCH

I REMIND THEM CONSTANTLY AND THEN THEY TREAT MY CANTS AS FACT FOR A WHILE.

Anyway. How to not be pissed when I ask my mom to take dishes out of my room and bring me a suitcase from up a high shelf and she doesn't because she's "hit a wall" ?

yeah she's listening to her body. but guess what. now i have to not listen to my body even more in order for things to happen.

so. tips?????????????? are there tips for this?????????

the only reason the leafs “choke” is bc the amount of pressure that is put on them by the media and their so called “fans” actually makes them stress out wayyy before playoffs! wdym u BOOED U R team when they lost tonight???? instead of cheering them on? letting them know it’s okay? ur human? and this is a GAME?? talking shit about mitch as if he doesn’t make a HUGE difference in and out that locker room??? and talking about how now the guys are overreacting and being childish??? the pressure and stress they are under is bc of YOU?!? shitting on willy as if he isn’t dealing with MIGRAINES (if u think it’s a joke let’s remember nolan patrick.) getting mad at auston as if he hasn’t been DEALING with an illness for U UNGRATEFUL FUCKING “FANS”?!? i get in hockey there’s gonna be brain dead takes and opinions but jfc. have some fucking empathy and SUPPORT ur guys.

another red flag: people who accuse an entire group of food of having "no nutritional value"

no, sandra, they may have less nutrients, but that doesn't mean they're completely empty calories or "fake food". i see this thrown around a lot with processed foods. canned veggies have some nutrient loss compared to fresh, yes, but they are still full of vitamins and minerals and other essential nutrients. shelf stable sandwich bread is less hearty than a homemade whole wheat loaf, but that doesn't make it worthless nutritionally.

having less nutrition and higher calories than whole foods does not mean something has zero nutritional value. be aware that it may be less nutritious, eat it in moderation, and just make sure you're getting whole foods elsewhere in your diet.

Ngl! As someone with intrusive thoughts and possible bpd it kinda rubs me the wrong way how people call mapleshade abusive for having a slightly possessive jealous THOUGHT. Like— she’s pregnant and she saw someone hit on her husband??? This DOSENT make her abusive to her cheating boyfriend????

[embarrassingmf]

HI !!!!

(Ngl that was all I had to say but I saw my beloved mutual compliment your Eddie icon and I just HAD to drop in, because,, it's eddie, how could I not?)

((also hi i'm maple, also 9-1-1 obsessed HAHA.))

(((another also, I saw ryvkkr also asked about the mustache, and now I am reaaally curious bout that was well :3)))

HELLOOOOO!!!!

I’m also starting to get obsessed with 9-1-1 again after not watching it for like a year and I’m only on s2���🙏

ALSO I THINK EDDIE LOOKS RLLY GOOD WITH THE MUSTACHE BUT I’VE SEEN RECENT LIKE BTS MEDIA AND IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE HE HAS IT ANYMORE :((

LEAFS RANT INCOMING‼️

I’m SO FUCKING TIRED of all this stupid “trade mitch for xyz” talk like do these bozos not realize that he is quite literally our MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER????!!! we genuinely wouldn’t be 1st in the atlantic division standings if it weren’t for him. and I truthfully believe we wouldn’t even become playoff bound if he wasn’t on the team. we’d become this seasons BRUINS like non respectfully SHUT UP. in moments like this where we’re missing so many forwards with injury and auston isn’t playing, Mitch is CARRYING. and I love Willy as much as the next bitch but you can’t tell me that if Mitch wasn’t on this team this year that Willy would be able to lift us into first place standing all alone with all these injuries??

Mitch marner is single handedly the most important leafs player in this organization. he’s a playmaker and passer, but he’s also a shooter, but they also heavily rely on him for defence, and he’s a key player in our special teams, and he might have had to play centre with all these injuries—like he does it all. And he’s practically been PERFECT this season through it all.

and respectfully—so WHAT if he doesn’t produce as well in the playoffs? news flash the entire team doesn’t lmao. and as long as other players are playing exceptionally well in those moments like Willy, then he can be a supporting role. I understand he’s being paid a ton but his regular season performance alone makes up for it. The team, coaches, and media genuinely run him into the ground during regular season and expect him to produce amazingly in the playoffs as if we don’t have a million and one other problems during the playoffs. Like need I remind yall two of our star players were injured during last year’s playoffs? Like we were doomed to lose from the start lol

Cut him some slack. I’m so tired of all the media discourse regarding his contract. I bet my bottom dollar that if we trade mitchy, we’re gonna become a struggling playoff team. I believe it to my core. People act like the regular season doesn’t matter when there’s teams like the bruins and islanders and redwings and so on and so forth who are so close yet not quite there and they’re always clawing their way into the playoffs.

PUT SOME RESPECT ON MITCH MARNERS NAME. IM SICK OF THIS SHIT. I AM THE #1 MITCHY TRUTHER. I hope Brad agrees with me and I know good and well Berube does too.

Anyway, thank you for coming to my ted talk. Mitch Marner you will always be important to me, my king🫶🏼

[dreamingamongthestars]

Kendrick actually orchestrated the leafs loss. He's even a Boston fan. this is insane

[eyes-above--the-waves]

I cannot believe that some people's takeaway from the game (on Facebook, not here) is that this team is better without Mitch Marner because they played well and won a game without him in the lineup. Like...guys...can we please stop trying to run this poor boy out of town? It's just bumming me out at this point.

This might sound weird or whiny but: Normalize liking all kinds of moths (this rant mainly is about moths because I love moths but this is applicable to all bugs honestly), not just the “pretty and acceptable ones” like rosy maple moths (although those are good too), like, even the “creepy” or “trashy” ones, I love clothes moths, I love tentacle moths, I love carpet moths, I love all the trashy and ugly and pesky moths not just the cute ones, not just the colorful flashy moths, I love those too but that’s not all I mean when I say I’m a moth enthusiast, I love all moths, they’re all amazing to me. Even mothkins, if you’re moth-adjacent you’re amazing to me and you’re welcome here, even if you’re just a moth enthusiast like me. I love you all(/p), moth family. (By the way, I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with liking the bright and fluffy and cute moths, I love those too, I just don’t like when people act like those are the only moths that deserve appreciation) /p /nm /pos

ppl will literally ignore maples character, her quite literal PROGRAMMED LOVE FOR HIYORI and somehow make it about shipping. like i love maple ships dont get me wrong(im literally the ceo of mapiley) but please. dont ignore . that she is still programmed to love hiyori, and the only reason why its like that is to make sure she doesnt kill him. she cant be fixed that easily, its in her code to do so. at most she can be 'fixed' by rewriting her code but.. would that make the other person any better than hiyori in the end?

[chick1996]

I wish leon and connor mcdavid the best, but it kind of irks me how everyone's concerned about their mental health and mcdavid looks like he was gonna cry on the bench and whatnot. And they should get this concern about their mental wellbeing and this coddling. But compare that to what the leafs, especially marner and nylander, have been through, it's unfair. They get eviscerated and literal smear campaigns that are held over their head for years for crying once or breaking a stick or going on a losing streak. But when other players do it they don't get even 10% of the vitriol
