#or its a moral failing if they dont

ep 43 had me tearing up in a fucking shopping centre ‼️‼️

b+w alt version that I truly couldn't decide if I liked it more . Also I included a lot of thoughts in the tags but they're somewhat incoherent<3

watched mouthwashing finally. the fact that i saw people be more aggressive towards curly than jimmy is kinda strange. kinda real weird

i understand the need to take breaks and pace yourself so you aren't overwhelmed. it's important to take care of yourself so you can keep going in the good fight. i myself usually catch up on news about once a day when i feel equipped for it. that said:

you're just going to ignore palestine for the next three months?

account settings literally already has what youre looking for so if you're set on doing this just use this feature and don't complain to other people about the fact that theyre keeping their eyes on palestine

The ways some tumblr people act around kira's sexuality is very strange to me. Like, obvs I enjoy some good ole Kira femslash but the idea that bcuz she has short hair and 'masculine' ways of sitting or walking, she is therefore a lesbian and any relationships she had with men were all just comphet on her end, paired with the kneejerk backlash against anyone who headcanons otherwise, comes off as sorta regressive. Like, I get where the idea comes from! Many queer women prefer to dress or present themselves in ways considered masculine. But you can also do those things, and... not be queer? (Especially for someone like Kira who grew up in a very nontraditional environment and is from an alien culture.) How people look does not determine their sexuality.

i hate to say it but this is a consequence of not being very "well read" so to speak. if you make a deliberate effort to broaden your horizons, you will become familiar with several distinct genres incidentally just by looking around

well hold on, if we define a character flaw as any limitation a character deals with, regardless of whether it's something Morally Wrong With Them or not, then Ford's paranoia counts as a character flaw since it does in fact negatively impact him and the people around him. Let me use better wording here: I will die on the hill that Ford's paranoia is not a moral failing.

my unpopular opinion within da fan space (not video games in general bc gamer bros are annoying) is that even tho I played all 3 games in order and was told extensive lore abt it beforehand as well as told that dai was the worst but ended up being my favorite

I get the critique and it's fair and valid but it's my favorite one. it's the most fun to play to me and I like the companions the best

it may be because I enjoy open world (I like running around) and I'm the most attached to immy but it is what it is lmao

people who have actually read fleetway sonic or just know what fleetway super sonic is actually like in canon literally suffer more than jesus because wehave to see like 90 percent of the sonic fandom just be extremely wrong about him all the time to the point where theyre talking about a completely different character that they gave that guys design to for no reason and this sort of thing makes up a massive chunk of fan content involving him and the cycle continues forever because people get their info on the character from said fan content instead of the actual comics

[mossychaos]

The quality is shit but so is my patience actively kept revisiting this for a couple of days between work

The guy who plays the wizard in our Curse of Strahd game has repeatedly made references to how said wizard is a somewhat older guy whose clothes are well-maintained but very out of date, and whose hems are all falling out because he can't Mend those and hasn't learned to sew them back up, and who overall can be described as a guy who has "really let himself go," and I THINK it is meant in a way that is supposed to make us think poorly of him, but like. Idk how to tell the player that making a fat, cringefail wizard who loves magic and wine and sharing fun facts with the group - who has a ridiculous confidence in himself and his abilities but who folds immediately under the BAREST application of authority - is like fucking catnip to both me and to Wyn.

Sir, that is a man that folks on the internet would wanna see begging. He would be a fan darling. Wyn once thought that he was bending and scraping too much to an NPC and flicked him lightly with her tail in reproach, and he shut his mouth like she'd slapped him. Man JUMPED to attention at her very gentle admonishment. And I'm supposed to think BADLY of him?? Okay.

not a hiruzen defender in that i think he's a nice old grandpa whose only flaw was being a little too loving towards his old friends and students (if anything i think overall attitudes towards him dont give him ENOUGH culpability in most of the atrocities committed during his time in the hat) but i WILL die on the hill that he's fictional so who caressssss he and danzo are my TERRIBLE OLD MEN BLORBOS and i just think. that they're neat.

Oh. Okay. I'm really sad to see you spreading false and harmful allegations after I informed you that they are lies. Demonizing Pansear for being visibly mentally ill is not a good look. I enjoyed following you but I am sorry, I am going to unfollow. Please realize that people on the internet lie all the time and actually think critically about these things next time.

??? I reblogged the post abt the self harm stuff being false hello

This post is weird as fuck, I thought it was known that "poor people shouldn't have children" was a bad take.

can't stand going into comment sections of video essays about the Las Vegas Sphere, because people are just unimaginably rude and classist towards the people who live here. can you imagine saying the shit people say about Vegas, about ANY other people's home city?

"why would you make the conscience choice to live in Vegas lol"

"omg it's such a shithole and the only people who live there are drug addicts and gamblers"

"if you live in Las Vegas you need to move. not having money isn't an excuse (??????)"

"the whole city is practically a dystopia, I would never want to take a step near it"

"living in Vegas is so stupid, it's a party city, not a living city"

I'm gonna need you to take a step back and think about what the fuck you're saying to me right now. the disrespect to a community that has been shoved under the boot of its government is actually fucking insane. and the fact that people have the gall to act like the economic and societal issues residents face here don't exist, or are our own faults?? literally fuck off

People w/o depression act like hygiene and self care is what will make you feel better. Its infuriating in the sense that it's typically not true. Sometimes it's quite the opposite. The thing with depression is that doing what you should is not the same as doing what you need.

You should shower, eat, and all that. But maybe what you need is to temporarily ignore one of those things and refocus the energy you do have into an activity or something.

It seems counterintuitive, after all, all those needs typically do improve motivation and energy but depression isn't necessarily an intuitive illness. Depression isn't rational. Thus most people can't manage it with things that normally rationally be correct.

Sometimes, ignoring your shoulds temporarily in favor of focusing on an activity that will give you a bit of accomplishment is the right thing for yourself and don't let anyone shame you for doing something momentarily bad that will give you a giant payoff.

Being functional and depressed is an upwards battle. Especially when you take care of yourself. People assume you're fine but you're not. You're putting everything into being presentable and rotting away when you're alone, but I find what often helps me claw out of a hole and allow me to do all the things is not focusing onwhat I should be doing but on what is gonna give me a safe momentary mood boost that's gonna help me accomplish all of what I should and need to do.

Its also worth noting that for some people this sentiment is reversed. Maybe you game all day but what is gonna help is cooking a meal or going outside.

I just want people to stop pretending its "fixable" with normal coping skills tbh.
