#mini rant lol

Bro, posting on twitter is literally so pointless, like ZERO attention XD I came back here, put my Wesper comic page up, added the usual tags and suddenly it was everywhere and ppl found my blog and actually talk to me (ILY <33) .istg how is twitter so popular, either you have 30k followers as artist there or -40, don't get me started how hard formatting sucks there, stuff is always ugly croped.

The only reason I'll put some of my art there too, is so I can fuel the the SaB and SoC tags a bit. But exposure, heck non existent if you are not blessed to be retweeted by a popular person.

YES AAUGH I’m glad somebody mentioned this. A significant part of working at a library involves just HELPING PEOPLE LOG ONTO A DANG WEBSITE. 😭

Typical process: a lady comes in holding a scrap of paper she’s been given with a url on it to use to apply for a job and asks for help

1. Get her on the computer

2. Help her find google

3. Show her how to put in the website address

4. Search the company website for something that looks like ‘employment’ or ‘apply now’ or ‘see opportunities’ or whatever they decide to call it

5. Application requires making an account for their site

6. Account requires verified email address

7. Lady does not have a phone (or doesn’t have it with her) and does not know the login for her email, therefore cannot verify it

8. Go to gmail and help her reset her password

9. Gmail requires 2-factor authentication

10. Again, no phone

11. Create new gmail account for lack of any other ideas

12. Finally verify email and proceed with actual job application she came here to do

Its a headache for everyone involved and it becomes very apparent that whoever designs these things is pretty out of touch with a significant portion of their users.

every genius who thinks mandatory two-factor authentication is a good idea should be forced to do tech support for a public library that serves a lot of elderly poor people

Literally one of my least favorite things a customer can ask is “When do you close?” because every single time they ask like an hour or so before closing and you just KNOW it’s because mfs are gonna keep you there until the very last millisecond!!

Can we make NOT romanticizing and normalizing Yandere and pretty much any type of toxic or unhealthy relationships a thing, i'm so tired of trying to find chuuya fics just to see "Yandere chuuya x reader!!" Shit come up, like no chuuya wouldn't rape and beat the shit out of me if i tried to break up with him.

its so annoying when a ship w two character is toxic and people just call it like "Toxic Yuri!!! 🥵🥵🥵🥵😍😍" like its a good thing and that its hot. I hate how 'normal' its become to have unhealthy relationships is, its not hot that your bf or gf doesn't let you have friends of the same gender, its not hot that they make you tell them where you are at all times and its not hot that they try to control your life.

Can we normalize calling out weirdos who post shit like "I want a gf who would lock me up in her basement" "Stalking him to make sure he isn't cheating or talking to any other girls" "Killing any girl that tries to come near him>w<!!!" You're admitting to wanting to commit crimes! Being a yandere isn't hot, kidnapping, murder, stalking ect isn't hot!

And i have a feeling this might also start an argument like the post i made about incest writers🤦‍♂️ i dont wanna see anyone even trying to excuse this type of shit

Doing another RWBY hatedom rant because people seemed to like the last one and I have more to say:

I absolutely despise it when people call Yang selfish and a terrible sister in Volume 9 when it came to Ruby’s struggles with her mental health. I have two main issues.

1. People seem to think that because Yang is Ruby’s big sister then she needs to always be at her beck and call. She can’t disagree with Ruby. She can’t let Ruby do things on her own. She can’t focus on herself or her happiness. She must always be focusing on Ruby. That’s not how relationships, especially sibling ones, work. People seem to think that Yang must sacrifice everything for Ruby and if she is anything less than that then she is a terrible sister. Do people forget how much Yang had given up for Ruby?! She raised her! She sacrificed her life for her! As soon as she was ready to went to go find Ruby in Volume 5 instead of her mom, which she had wanted to do for most of her life! I fully believe that if Raven didn’t have her portal semblance, which made finding/getting to Ruby MUCH easier, Yang would not have bothered. Yang loves her sister so much! But just because she’s a big sister does not mean that she isn’t allowed to struggle or focus on herself.

2. Here’s the big reason. As someone who has had to deal with a VERY similar experience in my life it absolutely infuriates me when people call Yang a terrible person and sister. I won’t go into too much detail because it’s not my place and I’d rather keep the information private but a couple years ago my sister hit a very low point mentally and it got very scary. (She’s doing much better now don’t worry). Here’s something that most people don’t realize when someone very close to you is going through something like Ruby did: You don’t tend to realize how bad it is. I knew that my sister had her struggles, but I genuinely thought she was doing alright. Afterwards I felt like such a terrible person because I wished that I noticed more and wished she had told me what was going on. This is exactly how Yang felt! She knew her sister was struggling, but didn’t realize just how bad Ruby’s mental state had gotten. She would try to comfort Ruby, not realizing that it was making it worse. She wished that Ruby had told her so that she could help her. It’s a really shitty situation to be in. This is on top of the fact that all of team RWBY were in a very stressful situation after having witnessed the fall of Atlas. I don’t think any of them were in great headspace’s, Ruby was just in a much worse place.

Honestly the entirety of Volume 9, in my opinion, was very realistic in its portrayal of mental health issues both as the person struggling with it and as the people around them. These situations are messy, complicated, and are never straightforward. Trying to treat it as anything else really shows that people don’t know what they’re talk about.

Yang is a good sister. She’s not perfect, but guess what? No one is! Remember we as an audience know so much more than the characters do. Just because characters don’t handle a situation perfectly doesn’t mean they’re garbage.

Men in love are okay but women in love are jahil andhi khajur khali khopri

[manikas-whims]

my friend genuinely got mad at me for having Xavier as my fav from Love and Deepspace..saying how he's the least popular amongst the 3

she stans another love interest, and she wanted us to have the same..i get it but I'm not sorry lol

I understand the appeal of characters like Zayne who appear cold n aloof but are big softies who care alot. He's a perfect blend of tsun and dere.

Meanwhile Rafayel may seem flirty and playful but one touch and he'll be a gooey puddle in your arms. He's such a babygirl!

like i really get it! but idgaf if Xavier is the least popular at all..lol

I've liked him since Day 1 of playing and that won't change..

See Xavier comes off as a sweetie pookie upon first glance (which he still is!).

But as you play further you realise Xavier is what one calls "Gap Moe" or Gap-saicin in korean? (used for BTS Jimin)..or literally just King of Duality.

For example: a tiny girl with a giant claymore weapon or a beefy man running a small flower shop or a quite gentle person being the strongest fighter in an anime, etc..

Xavier's personality is so dual. He'll let you hold the reigns, thinking you're in control but the next moment he'll do or say something that'll make you realise he's been in charge all along 🤭

And he'll forever be in charge of my heart ♡

y'all just like whomever you want but don't police others like my friend tried..this is a game ffs! not a competition 😆

[telffiin]

i feel like i'm legitimately going insane. early damian wasn't running around constantly screaming about how he was the 'blood son' and how all adopted children were illegitimate!!!! the blood son thing was from the animated movie. and he only said it ONCE. it's not his fucking catchphrase.

flanderization my greatest enemy

[schlorb]

I saw a similar post and now I can't find it but I'm thinking about it again.

GOD IT MUST FEEL SO GOOD TO BE COMPRESSED INTO A ZIP FILE...

Can you imagine the just like absolute maximum weighted blanket of imploding into bytes and being re-encoded...UGH

I WANT TO BE COMPUTED

[fazbearcorporation]

Ill make proper designs for everyone else eventually but for now :] these guys who are spinning in my brain 24/7

[plague-of-insomnia]

i really think people nowadays assume that they’re OWED fan content, and completely forget the PEOPLE behind the content they claim to love.

people don’t leave kudos. they don’t comment unless it’s nasty/critical. they don’t reblog.

and you wonder why you can’t find any content? maybe it’s bc the creators you claimed to love so much stopped sharing their work bc people didn’t seem to appreciate it/treated them like shit

we aren’t some AI spurting out crap. We’re humans putting little pieces of our souls out there for you to share a little joy.

i just wish more people would remember that, and be a lot more appreciative than entitled little shits.

So

my brother was talking ab how annoying it was that strangers would legit ask "wHaT hApPeNeD?" when he goes out (with his recently amputated leg) and I was like fuck ppl r shit and that's fr so dumb (like fr what kind of losers ask this) so I told him, when I finally started letting myself wear short sleeves & my (Very Noticable) SH scars were p fresh & random dumb ppl asked I finally just started saying made up shit. Like stupid (and invasive) questions get stupid answers, so the first one I ever used; (random guy waiting at the bus stop next to me with a WhAt HapPeNeD :o) I deadass looked him in the eye & said,

Shark attack :/

And it felt sooooo good BC really no one who asks a Q about someone's physical body is rlly gonna say to you that can't be true 😂😂😂

So I've written up a new list so far that I've sent to him (they obvi can be altered to fit the vibe but in case anyone needs some ridiculous responses to dumb motherfucking questions about your physical state, here they are).

Shark attack: but they killed the shark & I got to keep it's teeth as a souvenir so I have them on a necklace at home

Rollercoaster: fell off the upside down part of the Behemoth at wonderland (insert your local theme park here) there was fr a vid of it on youTube but wonderland had it taken down 

Piranhas: huge fish caught on my fishing hook & pulled me into water full of pirhanas 

Parachuting: shoot opened too late but landed on poison ivy bushes &  didn't even get poison ivy bc the parachute protected me

Kidnapped & held ransom: my rich friend had to pay 5mil to get me out but it was barely on the news BC I'm black/gay/ect (for my marginalized babes)

Tripped on my Katana

Lassie: a dog saw me fall into a well near the cottage and barked until a local farmer noticed

Wolves

Human Transmutation/Black magic

"Have you heard the name Sukuna?"

(bonus for my bold baddies) "It was a sex thing."

P.S

If any motherfuckers ask you invasive questions that you usually feel forced to put on a fake demure smile on to reply to; DON'T.

SAY WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU WANT BABE. IT'S YOUR BODY! YOU DON'T OWE ANYONE SHIT!

and Sharks be out for blood ❤️

Mini rant here:

I hate when people watch RWBY and go “There’s no difference between magic, dust and semblances! This show is so stupid!” Of course it all looks like magic to us! We can’t do any of the stuff that dust and semblances do in our world! Magic in the world of RWBY is what is considered impossible or otherworldly, just like us! But semblances and dust are a part of everyday life in RWBY. That’s why it’s not magic. What makes magic in RWBY magic is that it doesn’t follow the rules of that world.

A semblance is basically an individual superpower that manifests through a person’s aura. A person can only have one superpower. Semblances may “evolve” and allow a user to do more things but it is still the same power at its core. For example Ren’s semblance is tranquillity. Originally it allowed him to mask negative emotions of himself and/or others. In volume 8 it evolved so that Ren can also see emotions. While he did gain a new ability his semblance is still one based on emotions at its core. He’s not gonna one day be able to absorb lightning like Nora can. A semblance can’t be used if a person’s aura breaks. Also from my understanding a semblance can’t cause people to have any physical mutations. For example no one is going to have a semblance that makes them shapeshift. (People like Neo don’t shapeshift. They make illusions.)

Dust is basically an energy source that can allow people to control different elements. This can’t be done without dust. People can have elemental semblances similar to dust, but they can only manipulate that one element. For example Neptune’s semblance allows him to control water, but if he wants to control another element, let’s say fire, then he needs to use dust.

Magic throws all of these rules out of the window, which is why people that use it are so powerful. They don’t have the limits that most people in RWBY have. The maidens can manipulate whatever element they want without dust in addition to their semblance. That’s multiple superpowers. Also, as seen through Amber’s fight against Emerald and Mercury, a maiden can still use their power if their aura breaks. The reason Qrow and Raven turning into birds is magic is because as mentioned earlier a semblance can’t cause people to go beyond normal human/faunus biology. That’s why Weiss and Yang were so shocked when Raven turned into a bird in front of them. People are not supposed to be able to do that!

Magic in RWBY is different because it goes beyond the rules of the world that the SHOW takes place in, not our own. Semblances and dust follow those rules so they aren’t magic.

Now I’m not saying you can’t be confused. But I hate it when people don’t take the time to understand something and automatically call the show terrible because of it.
