imo the trope of the sexually abused character telling someone that they were abused because they were special, that their abuser loved them, that they were their own true love, that it was a love story - and the narrative presenting that as denial from someone who has repressed it too hard and simply doesn't realize the truth - is 1. condescending and 2. reifies love (implied romantic love) as an ideal that is incompatible with abuse. I don't disagree that sometimes people love others and do unspeakable harm to term simply because sometimes you are fully aware someone is hurting you and also fully aware that they love you (meaning that they call it love) and im not interested in a definition of a theoretical idealistic love that doesn't take that into account. also abuse victims are always being told their perspective is wrong and they need to be guided to realization and proper coping and I don't want to add to that. and yes people can tell when you're doing that.

"My love"

"My dearest"

"Precious girl"

What if I cried. What if I burst into tears and just openly started weeping. What then.

don't know how people multi-fandom. dipped my toe into another one and immediately backed out bc everyone there was insufferable.

imo it will always be a million times more cringe and insufferable to be an adult who actively makes fun of people who have harmless interests than it is to be an adult who is just really into cartoons or something idk

i don't actually care when the argument "this terminally online person is clearly arguing about something that doesn't matter at all in the real world and has no material basis, if they had real problems or were doing something real in their community they would stop discoursing and care about real issues" is applied to a situation where I agree - I've seen it deployed over and over by the most annoying liberal leftists in existence to shut down discussions of transmisogyny, family abolition, and any communist theory or project that goes too much against "common sense". I've never seen a "discourse prediction" post supposed to make fun of crazy discourse that did not include at some point a very important topic that is just treated as out there by most ppl bc it affects people who are not considered full human members of society.

hatereading people who trigger this kind of reaction in you is fine but I can't handle ppl who repeatedly invoke this line of thinking without 1. recognizing the capacity in themselves (and myself too of course) to care deeply and argue about things that don't really matter and 2. occasionally questioning their own assumptions when encountering ideas that seem to go "too far" or be "impractical".

which is not to say you should give every random poster a deep thorough analysis but ignoring them instead of screenshotting and mocking and boasting of how offline and detached from discourse you are (as a tumblr user.......) and how this person needs to do hard manual labor instead (hm.) is ime more productive to nourishing the "ruthless criticism of all that exists" practice in yourself

i hate maintagging Rebloggable things man i hate being a source of Content. "you must be this tall to ride" sign on all of my posts but it says "you must 1) have something to say to me OR 2) must be someone i know"

i saw in your "describe your accent" post you deride people using the term 'general american' to refer to their accent, but that is actually a linguistic term for the american accent that originated in the midwest and became the default accent of news/broadcasting, which in turn a lot of people speak especially if they don't come from areas with established regional diversity. Its label is generally used when comparing large groups of people in a study, for example comparing people from the US to the UK when you are not concerned with region-specific differences.

Also, just as a note, region alone does not define what accent you have, accent varies by class, race, gender, ethnicity, religion, age, sexual orientation etc. and using dismissive language to talk about how people self-identify their accent is kinda a shitty move, even if you may think you're punching up.

hi I made that post when I was 13 . I have . gotten this ask 600 times

edit: also like not to feel the need to explain myself further or whatever but in the multiple years since making that post I've like. become so invested in language that i am seriously considering figuring out a way to study semantics as a, like, sustainable career. I promise I understand what words mean more than I did in middle school.

Went to the doctor to follow up on some concerns and to go over test results and after i explain the problems im having for the third time that month my doctor sits down smugly and says, "let me guess, you're thinking you have POTS or something?" Dog i don't know what that even is PLEASE just give me a referral to a specialist like I asked for

Had a nice wolfy time at a friends house yesterday. They had a trampoline and I haven’t seen one in a fucking decade at least. It was so much fun romping around on all fours, jumping and rolling and diving with my tail on my belt whipping around.

I get glimpses of myself in wolf form mostly; I look in the mirror and for a second there’s a muzzle or I reach for my phone and suddenly my hands are paws, but then I blink and it’s gone. Fleeting images. Last night, in the dark with just a sliver of the moon and a nearby porch light to illuminate the yard, I saw myself. It was all there; my paws, my muzzle, my ears, my tail felt like it was actually attached to me. I could feel the wind in my fur. It was amazing. I hope I can remember that feeling for the rest of my life. I hope I can feel it again.

Hi 👉👈 I don’t have a lot to say, I just wanted to hi give you from across the room because I followed you for P3 but it turns out you and I share a ton of fandoms and I just think that’s really super neat.

P3 is definitely something i hold close to my heart, but i have lots of media i'm full of love for too! so thank you for appreciating it, i hope you enjoy your stay! 🥺💙

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

I love how "have the day you deserve" has been invented as the new (albeit kinda corny) way to say "I hope you experience mind-altering horror and agony beyond your comprehension" without actually saying it

[thatdamnokie]

me after saying something mean/stupid for no reason: well this situation is certainly not ideal
