Ok, this is wild. Reddit at its core.

[reyreadersblog]

RANT!

"Grayson has more trauma because..." "no, no, Jameson has more trauma...blah blah blah"

BITCH HOW ABOUT WE TALK ABOUT AVERY'S TRAUMA OR EVEN LYRA'S???

ALRIGHT WE GET, JAMESON AND GRAYSON, BOTH HAVE TRAUMA.

but the second i bring up Avery's trauma..pleople are like "ughhh, what an ungreatful bitch, if i'd inhereited that much money i'd never complain" bffr now. Imagine one day some man in suit appears at your school and then hours laters you inherit billions, you're heiress and your whole life is changed. different people, different enviroment, different EVERYTHING. SHE WAS THREATENED MULTIPLE TIMES (*cough* *cough* Grayson) she was shot at, like litearlly everyone was trying to get rid of her. SHE GOT BOMBED, SHE WAS IN A FREAKING COMA FOR WEEKS AND THERE WAS A POSSIBILITY THAT SHE'D NEVER WAKE UP. Avery had no idea who to trust and what to do other than listening to her lawyer. Not to mention she was used like a puppet (*cough* *cough* Jameson) her life was already mess and it became messier, sure she inherited billions but at what cost?

Now let's move on to Lyra🥰

Istg if i see one more person be like "why is she so whiny? Like Hawthornes do not owe her anything" excuse you? First of all let's think about how much of a trauma it is for a 4 years old girl to hear a gunshot and then see her own father's dead body. HE LITEARLLY BLEW HIS FUCKING FACE OFF 😭😭 AND IT HAPPENED ON HER BIRTHDAY. We still don't know her full story so i can't really talk about her full trauma yet, but what happened to her litearlly gave her a permanent trauma, she is still having panic attacks, ptsd and nightmares from it. she feels guilt, she is confused and all she ever wanted were answers. Hawthornes owe her AT LEAST an explanation.

You know, I think a lot of hate and misunderstanding towards Itachi comes from the fact that he is designed like he is 30 or 20-something by the time of the massacre. Pleople would empathize with him more if he looked like the child he was. In some flashbacks he looks and sounds more like Sasuke's father than his big brother. He is expected to act perfectly and to take the best decisions in all that involved Sasuke, as if he was the responsible grown-up in charge, and not just another child.

Yes, that's also a major reason. The first time he was introduced, he looked like a 16-17 year old to me, and in all the flashbacks he looks more or less the same. I don't relate to the sentiment of anyone hating him for this, though, or thinking he wasn't a child when it's been repeatedly told to us, but I guess usually it's not so for everyone.

I read somewhere that the reason he looks older than he is, is because of Sasuke's perception of him. Kishimoto draws him with more nuance, and he does look like a child in manga.

When, for the first time we see him as a child in Sasuke's flashbacks in manga, he looks like a 12 year old. He's very similar to how Sasuke would look without the marks on his face. Anime messed up giving him an adult voice and the similar appearance. Boruto does a better job at portraying him as a child in appearance and voice.

And, yes! Itachi having to act like an adult could have been explored with his Boruto look and voice too. It would be much more tragic to watch him slowly lose his grip on his sanity when he looked like a baby he's meant to be.

Another reason for the lack of sympathy from a lot of people towards him is that his story is told to us through a series of unreliable narrators. Sasuke, for example, gives us two different versions of Itachi. The evil and the good one. The good one (in the flashbacks before the massacre) shows us he was a good and kind boy. Kishimoto uses Itachi as a plot device to further Sasuke's story. If some information regarding Itachi is important to establish Itachi as a character, but is not relevant to Sasuke's arc, it will not be discussed. Otherwise we'd have gotten some information on the time Sasuke trained under Orochimaru and his own guilt for pushing Sasuke into that path. I'm not saying you have to give us all in real time, but after his death, through Kisame (who'd be a better person to talk about Itachi to Sasuke) we could have gotten some more info on him. But nope.

Obito is also an unreliable narrator. As is Hiruzen. Sasuke tells us about Itachi, his brother. Obito tells us about the tragic figure/martyr Itachi, and Hiruzen tells us the perfect Shinobi Itachi was.

There's very little of real Itachi himself in all this.

Sasuke didn't know everything about his brother. Obito didn't either or it didn't matter to him enough to reveal more details about Itachi to Sasuke. Hiruzen also had his own guilt and lack of information on Itachi, therefore he only tells us what he knows and considers right about him.

Everyone is telling us about their version of Itachi that they know is right. Itachi is probably the only character whose story is told us like that. For other characters the narrators are very much reliable. Madara's story, for example, is told through Itachi, Obito, and Hashirama. And Hashirama is the most reliable narrator, so we can ignore what Itachi and Obito said about him. It isn't the case with Itachi. In his case we have to draw the conclusions based on all the information we've received from other people.

I don't agree with people who say he's inherently cruel or evil. (I wrote about it here) Unlike many others, if given a slightly better option he would have made better choice. Who else in the Narutoverse had to make the hard choices that Itachi did and he stood by them? People can stay mad with countless 'he could have/should have done this differently' but they're speaking from an outsider's POV who has the luxury of not having been through the trauma the character they're criticizing did. Everything they hate him for can be countered using manga penals. I know this is the bird-eye view of things, but these penals are self-explanatory.

Itachi is one character who did everything wrong, but with proper context that 'everything wrong' can be explained, understood, and to some extent, even justified. If people are going to remove, twist, distort, deny, or downright ignore that context to continue their hate, then I have a very bad news for them. More on this here.

It's why I tend to disagree with most of the discourse on Itachi. People dropping the context depending on their convenience to talk shit about him. And I applaud Kishimoto for creating Itachi. Imagine creating a minor character in a 700-chapter long manga and people being mad about his fanbase. He's a very popular character and some folks like to feel intellectually and morally superior for hating on popular things. They also like to think they're different and hence very special.

Wait, if there are ecto-babys then is there one that combines Dave and crow?????

Like, is there???

No, i don't think the kids would do that. Like, Crow or Dave like all beta kids would only mix their DNA with the kids they're not related to. So, the StriderLalonde can only create ecto babies with the HarleyEgbertCrockerEnglish. The Alpha kids on the other hand can do the same but also mix their DNA with their team members because they're not related.

Aside from that, they can use the ectobiology machines to mix their DNA with random people from Earth in the past, and also mix random pleople's DNA without puting their own in the mix, you know, for a wider gen pool for the zillion babies they'll send all over the planet

[dramadramallama]

deadass about to fight people defending the core message of death's game like there's nothing to criticize about suicide being straight-up presented as this Great Unforgivable Sin™. personally, i think it could have been such a powerful journey if the preachy tone was completely removed, if the personification of death was utterly neutral, and the main character, yi-jae, wasn't shamed and guilted into Understanding, after going through other people's lives.

i loved the show (!), but the punitive aspect coupled with the literal guilt-tripping and torture simply does not align with the feel-good moral i've seen pleople try to apply to it. the problem is it loses almost all meaning if the character goes through that development under the threat of rotting in hell forever. he's basically reduced to being a rat in a maze, fighting tooth and nail to survive vague, impossible rules, and being absolutely disdained and berated for it.

people do not commit suicide because they don't love their family/loved ones enough. i feel as much empathy for the ones left behind as i do for the ones who choose to leave.

how can we reasonably expect him to experience "illumination" when he's put into increasingly difficult situations where death is basically unavoidable?

i am glad yi-jae came to regret and to feel remorse, i am glad he was amazingly able to see past all the pain and torture he was put through, i am glad he was given a second shot at life (?)... but at what cost? the man basically ends up living his twelfth life alone, and empty, and broken. what a way to show him life is worth living. he did not deserve what lead to his suicide, and he certainly did not deserve what followed.

he tried. he was full of love. he did good. he was good.

Rereading TSC in preparation for TWP

So I just had this idea, since I didn't read the series in the release order like most people and just read TMI, TDA and then TID and TLH and the other books scattered between them. And since where probably will have to wait until 2025 for TWP I just thought this will be a good idea since I wasn't the biggest fan of TID and don't remember much of TMI. So I will be updating as I go through the entire series and giving my thoughts because I'm bored and I can't wait for TWP.

The order I'll be reading:

City Of Bones (2007)

City Of Ashes (2008)

City Of Glass (2009)

Clockwork Angel (2010)

City of Fallen Angels (2011)

Clockwork Prince (2011)

City Of Lost Souls (2012)

Clockwork Princess (2013)

The Bane Chronicles (2014)

City Of Heavenly Fire (2014)

Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy (2015)

Lady Midnight (2016)

Lord Of Shadows (2017)

Queen Of Air And Darkness (2018)

The Red Scrolls Of Magic (2018)

Ghost Of The Shadow Market (2019)

Chain Of Gold (2020)

The Los Book Of White (2020)

Chain Of Iron (2021)

Chain Of Thorns (2023)

So to clarify my favorite trilogy is The Dark Artifices and I don't think that will change. So im sure this will appear in your feed so please interact I want to talk to pleople about TSC since no one I know reads this books 🥲.

[nymph-ette111]

I’m happy to know you enjoy our interactions too and that you liked my little tangent there. I’m glad that you searched for accounts from actual people who have the disorder rather than pseudo-psychologists, because they are often the harshest without a shred of accuracy (just the way they talk about the narcissist’s eyes turning a demonic black is enough to make me exit the article).

To be fair, Quora is one of the worst places when it comes to accepting people with npd. So I’m glad you managed to find something that didn’t conclude in a pro-eugenics rant lead by a divorced dad who is certain his ex wife is a narcissist because she took the kids. And since I chose my first paper this school year to be about npd and gender (we could write about anything, it was to test our abilities in general), I had to go through a ton of those. They ranged from absolutely hilarious to restraining order worthy. Thankfully Google Scholar saved me from that (though I would never suggest reading studies upon studies on a topic for x reader headcanons, I’m only saying this to sort of validate where my understanding of it came from). Since, yk, it’s a relatively fresh thing (recognised since the 80s I believe) and the fact that I had a therapist who diagnosed me correctly and knew how to approach it is pure luck

Also just any dog metaphor is delightful but it fits so well with Toby too?? Like, it just feels so right when people do that. And I can genuinely see Jeff having some npd traits, good call^^

Ben is just so!!! He’s awful in the best way. I want to kiss him and also put him in a blender for fun :3 i want to drive him insane. And also hold hands maybe. Like, yeah, realistically I would lose my sanity if he liked me but he’s so fun

Also yeah, that’s why I like your blog so much. You don’t shy away from making them hard to be around, hurt, mean. All kinds of messed up but also fun to read about. That’s why I also said that they would probably have an easy time with hurting me mentally, bc if they were aware of just how paranoid I am they would absolutely do what I did in that friend example, only 10 times worse (like, specifically saying stuff they know gets a reaction out of me to force me to stay or do whatever). In all honesty, this might be just why I like creepypasta characters (especially this specific portrayal of them). I mean, it does fit into that type of ‚pleople may be nice but they are out to get you at all times so you need to act to survive’. It’s kind of a safe way to experience something that is both natural to me and also absolutely unsafe irl. Like, yeah, I would have to walk on eggshells to be with Toby but also that is the way I see any sort of relationship either way. Sometimes, I’m more uncomfortable with the pure fluff bc that feels fake and unnatural. On that note, Toby to me is so untreated-bpd coded

-⭐︎

Agreed Ben is so fucking stupid I want to gnaw on him and push him down the stairs, what a silly fella. You don't know how happy it made me when you said you liked my blog :') when I shared my first post I thought it wouldn't get any attention, and I would just end up deleting the blog all together so hearing someone actually enjoys these little headcanons I make about fictional serial killers is so nice <3

you said everything so perfectly I have nothing to add, and yes toby is fucking miserable any disorder he has is 100% untreated and yes I love him and yes I want him and—

[pandisthings]

Hello pleople it's me! Haha <3

I forget some things in the draw so... Haha srry?

And I know it looks weird but I have some problems with the quality so I don't know, it's the best that I can do haha

I hope enjoy❤️💖

[argyrocratie]

i'm not much into hating or loving countries/nations, viva such or death to such as slogan feel to me purely rethorical and do not stir my heart, countries are at best places where pleople live where they do stuff or are done stuff by other people and my feeling on the countries feel as an abstraction to that

now people and nationality those are categorical abstraction which can gain a bit more of concretness in my mind, here are actual agents where the power of grouping under a name and generalising to that name has more sway, here stereotyping and prejudice could be indulge, here my better feeling and thinking might need to say "come on, don't"

Hatano Wataru mini album Dawn Michishirube ~Star and Traveler~ translation.

(I really liked this track and I hope more people will listen to it and the rest of the album)

"Ah~. I am so envious." Little star lazily sighed.

This Little star was not illuminating the earth like the Sun did. Neither did it fashionably chage its appereance like the Moon did. It was just an ordinary Little star, capable only of gleaming in the sky.

  A boy was looking up at the Little star with great wonder in his eyes.

"What are you envious of?"

"Everything that is not me!"

"Everything that is not you? Then, do you envy me as well?"

"Sure I do!"

"What about me do you envy?!"

"You can travel far, far away, right?"

"Travel? Hm, I traveled with my father once before. It was a lot of fun! So, you know what! I've decided! Once I grow up, I will travel all over the world, just like my father did!"

"Aah~! How I envy you!"

"You should travel too then. Look at the other stars! Allllll of them are traveling."

"I...can't do that... I can't move from where I am now. Other stars travel between east and west skies depending on the season. But I can only stay here... I can only watch others as the float by."

"Is that so... Are you lonely?"

"A bit."

"Are you bored?"

"A bit."

"I see... Oh, I know! Then how about I will travel enough for both of us?! I will go to all kinds of places, see and obitain all kinds of things! And then, I will tell you all about my travels!"

Hearing boy's words made Little star brighten up a little.

  Time went by and Little star was still staying in its place. As it watched other stars' journeys.

  One day, Little star heard someone's cry.

"Why are you crying?" wondered Little star.

"I want to go home..." In the middle of a vast desert one man has lost his way.

"Are you on your way home? Are you a traveler then?"

Exhausted, the man could only silently nod as a response.

"Oh how I envy you~."

"Envy? There is nothing about me to envy!" Said the man as he looked up to the sky. "I was traveling. I visited many places all over the world."

"Was it not fun?"

"There were fun moments. But I also experienced a lot of hardships..."

"Why did you continue your travels if they were hard?"

"For my family. Staying in one place limits things you can get. I was traveling to gather those far away things for my family. And yet..."

"Hm?"

"I got completely lost on my way home. Just a small gust of wind made the sand rise up. Landscape around me changed. And because the nights are so dark, I don't even know in which direction I should walk. I... Don't even know where I am right now...!"

"Still... I do envy you." Said Little star quietly. "You see, I can't move from this place. I can't travel or even change. All I can do is look at everyone else. But you know, I have made a promise. A promise with a small boy. That someday he will go on a journey and when he returns from it, he will tell me lots and lots of stories about it. This kind of promise."

  The man looked at Little star with great surprise on his face.

"You...you have been there, in that one place, all this time?!"

"I am always here. Always was and always will be."

"You are..." The man got up on his feet. Quiet but filled with determination. He was not crying anymore. "I... Am going to return home. Thanks to you I will be able to return!"

The man started walking. He walked through the darkness of the night. Following Little star while talking about memories from his travels. Places he saw, pleople he met, foods he tasted. He spoke about the fun times but also about the hard ones. Little star foundly, so very foundly, continued to listen to the man's stories.

  Protected by the light of Little star, the man walked on as he followed its light trail. And in the mids of the man's story telling, his travel came to an end. As the Sun has faintly lightened up the earth, a shape of a town became visible at the horizon. The man turned to Little star and said.

"Thank you."

The man's words made Little star brighten up a little more.

And since that day, Little star was not envious of anyone or anything ever again.

Since my Nanay died a year and 4 months ago, I've been asking God when is my time? I'm asking Him to take me too. I lose my interest to many things, playing online games, editing videos, making vlogs and blogs, writings and a lot of things.

Now, everything are still blured. I can't still see the future. I can't vision what I want. I've been pleasing pleople. I don't know who will love me anymore.

I know that life must go on, God is still there watching over me. I believe that one day, I'll be gone too. My life will end too. And we'll meet in paradise.

But since she left, I lose everything. I wanna give up, ayoko nang lumaban. I'm tired.

I pray that God will reveal to me the life He planned for me, the reason why I'm still here. I wanna know my purpose. I wanna live this life fully and freely. With His guidance and full of happiness.

Lord, forgive me for everything. :( I'm so weak and not brave. :( I can't do this without You.

[the-s1lly-corner]

Iii... forgot to answer you,,,, sorry it was 3 am back then so i fell aspeep. Anyway

I write like that so it's easier to read and switch between topics, i can go on long rambles too but it's just easier to talk about different things like that:]]]<-<-smug face of someone who is so so mentally ill and definitely not neurotypical

Second

*applauds* You Go Boy!!!!

Unfortunately i am also a pleople pleaser buuut i am completely spineless in that regard:(

About the forth...

Don't you hate when you try to respond to something and then realize a bunch of things involving your trauma? Yeah.

Literally my reaction. I dunno, in sum i just throught i have been showed aside and told am annoing a lot and realizing that much more damage was done to me while writing a reply to a neat tumblr fella is, um. Definitely a new experience that stunted me for an hour.

Thank you for the compliment, i think you're also а very nice and, obviously, a silly guy:]

Fifth..

Welp i should probably improve on my writing, but all the Issues SUCK and generally i cant right now, i have too much on my plate despite being sick at home- i have to go to work out tomorrow and then on monday i probably will be forced to go to class, regardless of how i am feeling

Rude people need to shut it, you're putting out vontent for free and they should skip looking at it or be grateful.

You shouldn't give in, tho:(. Ppl will just get used to be entitled all the time and demand more

!!! Couple things!!

1. Dont ever apologize for falling asleep! it happens to the best of us and it wasnt like a heavy or serious conversation was going on!! You get that rest, especially since you're a lil sick!!

2. I get what you're saying 😭😭 I got a nasty habit of getting off topic and derailed a lot so being able to separate my stuff into segments help a lot (even if sometimes I leave a topic half touched SOBS)

3. (Points) one day things will get better and you'll be able to stand up for yourself and put your comfort first!! It's hard at times, hell its still hard for me, but it takes time.. and sometimes you will falter and (for lack of a better word) regress.. but I believe in you! A set back will not condemn you!!

4. I understand that too :( did something happen, or did someone do something :(? I'm so so sorry you were exposed to something that had set off some discomfort.. remember that if something triggers your trauma or even just makes you uncomfortable, you have all the right to disengage !! Take care of yourself and your mental health!!

5. You're not annoying, and as I've already said you seem really nice n silly!!!!!

6. Take your time improving your skills, this goes for anything and everything not just writing! Pushing too hard can lead to a burnout and a loss of passion. and that truly sucks, and it can be hard to reignite that love again (source, its happened to me a handful of times)

6. Yeah people can be entitled with fandom creators; both in art and in writing, I think. A lot of people really need to learn to hush up, and if something isnt to their standards or matches their hc then they should just make their own stuff instead of being rude... alas entitlement exists
