#me being a baby about dumb things

[risingshards]

I'm so tired of spaces in fandom/online/in person/whatever that are so deadset on equating a piece of art's worth to a bunch of data sets that really have very little to do with the art itself.

Like I'll be in discussions online about wrestling. If you can believe it, pro wrestling has an absurd amount of discussion about the biznes data and stats of at all and none of it is about the actual enjoyment of the plots or wacky scenarios of the shows, just like "oh yeah the ratings are up YOY by 14.2% they're so hot right now this is so business when you business money" or "ohhh that wasn't good their ratings are down .03 2/3rd% on RateMyWrestling.gov this is not good for business money business" like DID YOU LIKE THE EPISODE OR DO YOU JUST LIKE TRACKING BUSINESS AND AGGREGATE STATS.

I was talking to another friend about a movie (one I ended up adoring) and their take on it having not seen it at all was that it was total dogshit because of like it's quantum aggregate on FartCritic or whatever, like why engage with anything when you can just point to some nebulously generated number and go "it good" or "it bad"???

Obviously I'm not immune to any of this too, I'll see the nebulously generated FartCritic scores and go like "oh wow so this is good!" or the opposite based on them sometimes. And because I'm an anxious loser I get way too caught up in these so I'm trying to just disengage from it all, but it do be hard when all the websites blare these numbers everywhere, or when game devs get paid extra by publishers based on their aggregate scores, it's all just exhausting. It feels like so many people just wanna treat entertainment as a series of stat games mostly based around saying how shit something is because [random number] or random financials that say nothing about the works themselves, about the merit in the text, it's all just boring negative data. And it's been this way for a looooong while so I don't think I'm saying anything new here I've just been really frustrated about this lately. My summer goal is to be less terminally online to avoid dealing with things that ain't good for my presently shaky mental health so wish me luck breaking bad habits!

Just started the newest ZZZ special episode and... it's giving me 2nd-hand rage.

You know how in cartoons (usually comedy ones) a character will have a bunch of garbage happening around them, but they're not mad because they feel like they 'shouldn't be', so you, as the viewer, get mad for them.

Anyway that's how I feel about Yanagi's story so far.

Yanagi is essentially raising 3 children in the form of her colleagues.

Soukaku is mildly forgivable, only because my personal headcanon is that her mental growth has been stunted one way or another, and it's revealed why Yanagi takes care of her in Yanagi's teaser. So I can forgive that well enough.

But Miyabi is a different case. It's stated that she passed on all the paperwork to Yanagi, and constantly tries to get out of meetings. I know that meetings and paperwork is unpleasant, but you're the CHIEF ffs! Take some responsibility!

While Zhu Yuan had boundaries in the workplace, such as not working overtime when her job was done, Yanagi seems to have the opposite

Miyabi doesn't seem to stop or suggest stopping this kind of thing to keep her health intact either!

Harumasa isn't as bad as Miyabi, but he's not great either, as he constantly wants to slack off whenever possible.

This is the equivalent of having to do a group project with 3 unmotivated people that want to dilly-dally and sidetrack every possible conversation to avoid doing work, and ultimately, you have to take on the whole damn thing by yourself.

I'm not trying to say that the rest of Section 6 don't love or care about Yanagi at all, they obviously do, and if Yanagi had a heart attack from underlying cardiovascular disease (due to her immense work stress), the three would likely visit her hospital bed (if she was still alive, anyway, since women die from heart attacks more frequently, and she's often left either on her own, or with what is basically an incompetent child who wouldn't know the first thing about strokes or those kinds of problems)

But I don't think Miyabi would learn that this toxic asf work environment is the thing killing her, and would go back to not caring about Yanagi staying late after the first month or two of the incident.

I think the thing that peeves me the most, is how all three of them act like whiny children with Yanagi around.

As I mentioned, Soukaku is mostly excusable, since she has stunted mental growth.

But fucking Miyabi, crying about not wanting to attend a meeting, or Harumasa who faked a fucking stomachache to skip work?!

This is your job, not Elementary School! I hope one of your vacation days were snatched!

I make a big deal out of this, because I don't think that anyone should have a parent-child relationship with their colleagues, unless there is an underlying condition wherein you are the person's caretaker (Soukaku)

I would never want a parent-like relationship with a spouse, nor one with a friend. Hell, I don't need a parent-like relationship at all, since I'm an adult.

Likewise, a child's parent shouldn't be a bosom buddy.

I might just be projecting a little bit, or getting too personal, because I never want to have kids ever, and I've seen people with this kind of lifestyle where they baby everyone around them, and get fucked with little-to-no freetime, heightening blood pressure due to stress, and a lot of pent-up feelings because they can't communicate to their friends, because they treat their friends as children, and their friends treat them as a parent.

Anyways, I'm not very far into the Special Episode, so maybe Yanagi snaps somewhere or has an emotional breakdown where Section 6 (specifically Harumasa and Miyabi) can see how much Yanagi is doing, and they help to rectify this, by eventually creating a much better workplace to live in.

A lifestyle like this can't go on forever, and I hope the negative effects are shown.

@dnangelic from [HERE]

Jack was thoroughly rattled. Her head spun a bit as she was shaken but she did not once let go of the sparkly orb despite his demands. Her claws instead pop out of their sheathes to curl around the smooth surface even further, body instinctively curling up and tightening around her prize even though she was now being scruffed in the same way her parents often held her.

[“W-Whazzit matter who you are?”] Fur still standing, this time her whole little frame puffed up due to his ferocious roar and creepy appearance, but her parents didn't raise no coward! Sure he was scary! But the need of a brand new sparkly object for her personal stash outweighed her common sense at this very moment and her baser instincts peeked out. [“I bet I'm a way better thief than you anyways! So Put. Me. Down!”] She hisses at him again even as her frame trembles in his hold. Despite the fear she glares right back at him and squirms furiously keeping her forearms wrapped tightly around the orb while her legs lowered and she began to kick and scramble in the air.

["I'm not playin! This is my treasure! I spotted it! You snooze you lose fake theif! Nyeeeh!”] Jack tauntingly sticks out her tongue, followed by the slightest twitch of her curled tail. It's also the only warning the kitten gives before her fur begins to stand even further on end, a loud crackling sound fills the air. Bright yellow sparks briefly jump off the curly brown tip of her appendage then disappear and within seconds Jack surrounds both herself and the stranger in a wall of electricity in an attempt to get him to drop her.

Have a taste of Thunderbolt, jerk!

i don't think i'll ever get over how people treat kids that aren't good in school as worthless no matter what. "oh it can't be that bad" my guy idk how to tell you this but the last time i went to a normal high school the principal called me into his office to brag about how he failed me in all of my classes before the semester was even finished & i should quit while i'm ahead cuz i'm too stupid ("officially" diagnosed as such by a school counselor & a psychiatrist!!) to succeed. & this is considered normal

[spocksgotemotions]

lately all I wanna do is just text my friend about the lovely life we’re gonna have and how much I love them. But I don’t do that cause I don’t wanna be Weird. And also I think I’m gonna be afraid that they don’t actually wanna live with me until we like actually live together. Honestly probably after that too

[nights-nonsensical-ramblings]

I'm really nervous for the third sonic movie. not for anything about the movie itself but for the fact that every single Scu thing (with the exception of drone home maybe?) Has been shortly preceded and/or followed by some kind of personal social tragedy.

And it's really weird cuz it started me writing and without that I wouldn't have met most of my current friends. But at the same time im associating it with the loss of multiple relationships.

Am I an overly anxious person that catastrophises every little thing? Yes. Am I superstitious? not really. But the fact that this keeps happening, And i keep ending up upset near an scu release due to social issues is getting really really freaky and almost makes it seem like there is something weird going on. The storyteller in me wants to call it like a deal, it got me into the sonic franchise and so many good things, but the trade off is ill feel hurt and loose something each time something in that universe comes out.

Okay after two years of torturing you all with my dumb k*veh rambling at least fifty times a day I’m gonna retire 😼🤞

[floral-hex]

Just canceled all of my future therapy appointments. Big fudgin’ bummer. Did I mention I lost my insurance? Didn’t even find out about that until the day it lapsed. Trying to find a way to fix it now, reapplying and whatnot, but ya know, it’s bureaucracy so who knows how long it’ll take. Just fingers crossed I don’t run out of meds first.

lol it’s underwater 🐠

[animationismycomfort]

was I the only one that thought season 2 of green eggs and ham was a total let down oooorrrr

[hartigays]

why was i not born delusional, dumb, and carefree

[avpdgirlfriend]

love how i cantbbe upset with anything ever because then i "just want to be arguing" and just want to be causing problems yeah i want this i want it so bad i really enjoy being told im stupid and overemotional and throwing a tantrum like a baby and being manipulative instead of actually just upset because no one gives a fuck if my brother is blasting something on the tv that hurts my brain and i just want him to turn it down to a normal volume if im forced to ve out there with him. no im doing it to get back at you and because i love arguing i love it. you think i want this? you think i want you to demean me and make me feel crazy and like my feelings will never matter ever and i should just shut up? are you stupid? its more annoying because if i was playing something on the tv and my brother thought it was too loud or didnt want me watching it he would get his way immediately no matter what, literally happened where i complained that he always gets his choice of what to put even when i want to watch something else and she was rude as fuck to me about it and said to just put what i wanted then and he turned it off and put something else. lmao. she didnt have anything to say when he did that of course
