Growing up in a human society and world, now you're an adult but you feel a sense of loss because you never grew up as yourself, as your 'type. Nostalgic for something you never had, sense of sadness for a childhood you never got to experience

my therapist basically assigned me the task of "play a video game" like, five months ago, and im proud to announce that today i have finally removed my switch from the charger and am now doing what i usually do, but with the switch here as well

[eightyuh]

It's honestly depressing how quickly and easily your (abled) family and friends will leave you behind and forget about you when you can no longer push yourself to try to keep up with them. I hate how focused everything is on going out and doing things when it comes to hanging out with so many people. It's sad how many people would rather just continue on with their busy, typical/abled life and forget about the disabled people in their life, rather than stop and slow down with them once in a while.

CW ⚠️‼️ MEDICAL TALK AND ANIMAL LOSS

Y’all have been very supportive and caring so I’m giving another update.

My mom is back from emergency surgery and though it’s very painful, she is recovering and I’m taking care of her. We’ve really supprting each other through these hurdles and if nothing else, I can say these things have made us closer and it makes feel better about the future.

Secondly, my puppy is here another night. In a few hours, we’ll be taking her to vet to see what her fate is. I’m growing a bit of hope in my heart that this is some underlying treatable cause, but I know it’s likely just old age. It’s 4:14 as I type this and her appointment is at 8:50. I’ve been staying up all night cuddling and taking some last photos. I’m only just now getting a break to post this and bathe. Thank you for the support y’all. This is about to be a hard day and I hope to be looked after.

University ever pushes you so low you have to go buy a couple of beers? /srs/neg

I'm gonna vent in the tags for a moment humor me for once /gen

[phoebified]

i'm positive sso fans would go so far if they would stop acting like the characters were real people and not like. dolls created to add to a story. like sabine is not real, she's not "diverse," she's a classic villain trope that's harmful to the exact type of woman you're so weird about, and they're using your attachment to this white-girl-gay-bait woman to ramp up your interest in sso and play more of it and if they play their cards right sell you more shit, even if sse has "good intentions" this ends up being the outcome. and you're falling for it

[tangledinink]

hey bad news you guys. my therapist told me today that he thinks i should actually be sad on main MORE.

FUCK this glitchy/flashy/shaky/static effects trend that every person who makes any sort of media is getting into and putting everywhere without any trigger warnings whatsoever!

You are making it impossible for people like me with seizure, vision, photosensitivity, etc issues to engage with any media (especially videos and/or reels taking over) AT ALL!

So tired of it, fuck the ads everywhere (even here now!), fuck the reels taking over, fuck this flashy effects trend, fuck it all.

Sincerely, someone with severe vision, photosensitivity, and seizure issues, who is being forced away from every form of media for the sake of their own health.

☕️ + the Scooby Doo fandom in general

Hmm okay so this is a very broad question to me and that really means it's going to recieve a broad answer, especially to me as "Scooby fandom" really has differing levels in my heart etc.

For example with my friends and the smallish community of fellow Scooby fans I've found here on tumblr (the Scooby Dootuals!!!) I really love and like! Everybody is so nice and it's cool that people have various levels of knowledge about different series and iterations. Like I really enjoy that on here Scooby fans (as in, like my friends and people who regularly post scooby) have such differing levels of experience with this huge huge franchise as it makes it so much more interesting. Like we have people out there who have seen almost every episode (or feels like it) and can seemingly remember the smallest of things from them, and then we have people who weren't into Scooby as a child but are exploring it now, and then we've got people (like me) who did like it as a child and kind of know a bit of everything, with huge areas of weakness in Scooby they haven't seen, (for me APNSD, anything more than the premise of 13 Ghosts, the 80s trio minus Boo Brothers, anything past s1 of bcsd, much of the 70s era movies, SD & SD, Guess Who, SDMI details, like the list goes on, people!!! I've only seen a Scooby series in order in its entirety one time in my life and that was SDMI age like 12) while also having a few areas with greater knowledge or familiarity and a few spots where they just know a ton/are constantly rewatching. (Me with Goes Hollywood for sure) anyways I don't really remember where I was going with this but uhhh I like that my buddies and whatnot all know different amounts with many being chill or knowing a little bit of everything so we can still like each others posts and talk about Scooby with there still always being so much more to discover <3. So like basically thoughts on the besties are that besties are cool

However I know anon that by sending this you likely mean "Scooby fandom" as in people outside of this insular little bubble so let's talk about that. I think I'm reluctant to really label this group "Scooby fandom" as for ME PERSONALLY fandom really means a kind of engagement with the work beyond what most general Scooby fans do. Like what I'm trying to say is that this group of "wider Scooby fandom" liked Scooby and watched it as a child and consider themselves a fan of Scooby but they aren't rotating Scooby characters like blorbos in their mind too much. Or if they are, it's generally in the creation of like dark!Scooby aus or the live action Scooby show pitches that blow up on here every time Scooby is a topic of general coversation. I guess for me personally the line between this "Scooby fandom" and my own little bubble of people I'm chill with gets drawn based on what fans want out of Scooby. Like do they love Scooby as it is, or do they want to change the audience to create a new Scooby for themselves. Hm, I'm not really phrasing this right. What I mean is like we're all Scooby fans. If you've ever liked Scooby, at any age, however long ago, you're a Scooby fan, I'm not trying to like, gatekeep Scooby fandom or whatever. I just think that differing groups of fans have different pictures in their head of both what Scooby Doo IS and what they want from it based on their familiarity with it and how long it's been since said fan has watched Scooby.

And that's kind of wherein my frustration with "wider scooby fandom" lies. It's really in the fact that there's thousands upon thousands of these "sleeper fans" (which in my mind is really a better term for it) who awake when I or the popular culture mention Scooby, to share their opinions. And these opinions just frankly drive me up the wall. This is because when confronted with a real life Scooby fan (me) there's generally 3 things they want to talk about: 1) SDMI and how it's the greatest thing since sliced bread 2) Doesn't HBO Velma suck 3) (once they learn I like Scrappy) Scrappy hatred and copious references to his portrayal in the Gunn Movies. Plus MAYBE a bonus 4 of other miscellaneous takes that get on my nerves (stuff like Shaggy always smoking weed, Fred and Daphne splitting up together to have sex, just all sorts of things I do not for the life of me want to talk about).

So I guess my take on the wider scooby fandom is as follows: there are positives like some genuinely funny SD posts once a blue moon, or people to share things like concept art and leaks to much of the content canceled by HBO Max, but the vast vast majority of the time it kind of gets on my nerves because people always want to talk about the same few things (which I feel have been talked to death already or I highly disagree with OR BOTH) and it's just really tiring to deal with. Idk I don't think I'm going to go into it to much more here because this post isn't too coherent to begin with (I'm blaming it on like 70% of this being written before work this morning) but there's so many people out there who think so similarly about Scooby (and SO differently from how I think about it) that it feels like I'm getting talked over constantly whenever I have a discussion about Scooby with someone from this group. And that's just like not fun for me? It's just like for me, Scooby Doo is my number one thing. Like I'll be in different fandoms concurrently or whatever and I don't really read fic for scooby but I will for other stuff etc. But like scooby is always there for me like MY MAIN turned into a scooby doo blog like honestly while that's just not the case for some other people. It's very much a difference in the value and time put into the franchise, (which like you can just like things casually that's not a bad thing) it's just that it's frustrating for me talking to sleeper fans about Scooby because I get trapped (literally, like irl) in the exact same conversation that I don't even want to be having(!!!!!) pretty much all the time.

y'all vent post good deities 💀

so i've been fighting with one of my cousins for a while because he's been like. actively ignoring my boundaries about his venting and mental health issues/behaviours and i'm seeing him for the first time in like a month today and i'm freaking out kind of bad because he's gonna try and get me alone to talk to me and if i don't let him my whole family is legitimately going to think i'm evil and i'm the worst and i'm torturing him for no reason because they're all enabling him to use me as his sole source of support (he has a therapist!! he just won't talk to them) when i literally cannot handle it and i cannot handle him. like he'll ask me "oh 🥺 can we talk downstairs" and i'm going to say no because i don't want to and he's gonna cry and everyone's gonna freak out at me even though he's A GROWN ASS MAN and shouldnt be crying whenever he doesn't get his way. like sorry i was born a woman but that doesn't mean i'm going to let him use me like that, especially because i'm literally younger than he is and i've gone through a hell of a lot more??? he literally thinks that as a straight cis white man he's been oppressed by society. like bitch you ARE the oppression sorry. my trauma and your trauma are nottttt the same and i need you to stop treating it like it is 💀
