#my childhood was personally attacked

I just found out James and Jessie from Team Rocket ( pokemon) are NOT siblings?? Wtf

[mickeym4ndy]

can we please stop with the ‘Mickey is objectively a bad person’ shit PLEASE.

I get it comes from a place of holding him accountable for his actions which is fair but going straight to “he’s a bad person” just completely disregards so much of his growth and development, and the nuances of the show.

I get Mickey fans got a reputation in the past for excusing everything he does and yea that’s annoying. But to counteract that by saying “he’s objectively terrible!” is so one dimensional and also completely goes against everything that shameless is about.

the point of shameless isn’t that all of these people are terrible, it’s to show the effect living in poverty has on a person and the lengths that are necessary to go to survive in that life, and the mistakes that ultimately causes people to make along the way.

no shameless character is perfect. that’s the point. even some of the worst things that characters have done have been because they are victims of their circumstances and situations. they are nuanced complex characters that can’t be put into boxes of good and bad

they’ve all done things to hurt other people and themselves. but the point is is that most of them have good within them, but all the factors against them make it harder to let that out.

“He’s a bad person” is a lazy reading of the show that completely lacks nuance in my opinion

yeah natori is 23 and since matoba is one year younger, he's 22 at the very start of the manga/anime :))) i think it was like around season 3 of natsume when i learned this and went ????????????? and had to go lie down for a while

unacceptable. midorikawa-sensei answer for your crimes. the thing that's killing me currently is i know i learned this information back when i read a bunch of fic after watching the show for the first time - which was less than a year ago - but apparently REPRESSED IT because it was sooo does not compute. and then had to learn it all over again just recently. my poor brain tried so hard to protect me from this knowledge but alas.

FREE THEM they're baby adults they should not have this kind of weight on their shoulders and have like. employees and shit!!! "oh look a dumbass teenager with a heart of gold. how about i protect him with my life" HOW ABOUT YOU WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF YOU MAN-SIZED CATERPILLAR!!! they need to be in their cocoon era not in their head-of-the-family life-and-death-decision-making era. when you're 22 you're legally obligated to make questionable life choices and it seems self-evident you should not have to be forming lifelong contracts with supernatural beings until after you've gotten some of that out of your system but WHAT DO I KNOW, i'm just a thirtysomething with over a decade on natori who still does the modern-day equivalent of unplugging my answering machine so people can't leave me cursed voicemails. i look back on my 23yo self and i want to cry from how much she was learning and how hard she was trying. i love her so much it breaks my heart. stop putting these young men into situations they need to be in situations but maybe ones less fraught with mortal consequences. maybe some situations more along the lines of figuring out the hard way not to buy dryclean-only shirts because who has time to go to the drycleaners? that's just one idea, i've got more of these. midorikawa-sensei are you listening??

not bob duncan from good luck charlie guest starring on 9-1-1 and getting a nail gun to the heart 😭

The worst part of being trans on an English course is listening to people give Harry Potter a verbal tongue bath cuz it’s an ‘amazing and well crafted piece of literature’ prefaced of course by a completely vapid ‘fuck JK Rowling’ to show they are in fact… An AllyTM

But if you dissent from the popular opinion of 20 somethings who stubbornly refuse to move on from their childhood obsession or take off their nostalgia glasses and you dare to argue that actually on just about every level Harry Potter is kind of boring, uninventive and thoroughly uncompelling as anything other than indulgent wish fulfilment?

Then they look at you like you just spat in their face.

Anyway Fuck JKR AND Harry Potter! No death of the authoring your way out of this one 😒

spacing out during finals, and imagined a scenario where childhood s/o and aki are in elementary school- a kid trips little s/o in the mud and little aki gets them back by sticking gum in their hair (╥﹏╥) cause bro really be doing that fr 💀

anon... don't get me started... my heart has been yearning so much for childhood friends with aki these days.......

and he would totally do that too, young aki would pick a fight with anyone who bullies you or makes you cry. when he gets a little older, he's actually quite intimidating to the rest of the students, so just sticking with him is enough to ensure no-one tries to mess with you. he'll always make an effort to include you even when everyone else isn't; you're practically stuck together like glue, and even though any rumors about the two of you barely ever reach your ears, you're sure they've noticed how you and aki are rarely seen apart from one another.

whenever i get the urge to delete my old art off the face of the internet i remind myself of the artists who deleted their beautiful art that inspired me so much. i exist purely to spite their decision

Personal rant

Having a therapist (a therapist!!!!) tell me I can't possibly be depressed because my family doesn't suck, and then implying the doctors are naïve or stupid for not finding something physically wrong with me... My dude, are you so sure that they have "insurance coverage only" bias? Cause seems like YOU have psychodynamic brain rot to me.

[navree]

it's fodder for excellent drama but let's admit it, hush and war games and identity crisis and under the red hood all happening in relatively close succession is insanely funny. just bruce speedrunning the worst fucking 365 days of his life. they should release a compilation book of all four and just title it 'batman and the terrible horrible no good very bad year'

Save me Cats the Musical

not my stepdad saying that i used to belittle him as a child by using big words 😭 and that I was smart but had no common sense. I said it's the autism and he was like "no it's not that" 😭😭😭😭

[bpdstevenuniverse]

I just remembered the time I began having panic attacks at night, when I was a teenager... and how I always wanted my parents to help me, and while they did, they still reminded me that I was just getting in the way. That they needed to go to work the next day, that they can't keep going out of their way to help me.

I get so angry nowadays, because... Mom, Dad. I got fucked up like this BECAUSE OF YOU. You can't fucking pretend that this has nothing to do with you. You BROKE me and you REFUSED to take responsibility. Instead, you just left me alone like you always do, and you make me feel GUILTY and regretful for even seeking out for help in the first place.

"But they have their own lives to get through!" I am. Literally their daughter. And worse, I was still a MINOR at the time (and mentally ill adults like me still deserve to feel safe!!!!), so I don't fucking care about THEIR poor little lives. It was never about me this whole fucking time.

So yeah. I am fucking angry, and I will continue to be angry, because THIS. IS NOT. FAIR.

going insane thinking about how taissa is both the wolf that ripped van's face off and the woman who killed the wolf that ripped her face off

Nothing like some light substance abuse to really make you feel like a child again
