ermmmmmm vent under cut. i think. pretty sure this counts as a vent

i feel like the only approach i ever have to college is that either everything will be fine (and i then proceed to not do assignments because i don't feel like it) or that i've ruined everything (and then proceed to not do assignments because i'm too emotionally drained) and i just. man. i know these are both at least moderately irrational and i just. i don't know

while you're misusing bury your gays, Ed is getting woken up by Stede kissing him lovingly and looking into his eyes and telling him he's the most lovable person in the world on the planet in the entire universe, and Ed is making him blush first thing in the morning, and they're badly running an inn together and pda'ing all over the falling columns of their shaky shack, and overcharging customers for salmonella stricken fish, and they're deliriously happy, by the fucking way

I hate the way the word “neurodivergent” has changed over time. It is a word with a meaning but people treat it as if it only means ADHD/Autism, which even then are very different things. they may have similar “traits” but they are still two different experiences. Not only is this invalidating the experiences of adhd/autistic people, but to other people who fall under the “neurodivergent” umbrella.

maybe it’s me being autistic, but people saying neurodivergent when they MEAN autistic or adhd confused me because why won’t you just say what you mean? if you want to say autistic why don’t you just say autistic???

so shout out to bipolar people, people with learning disabilities, people with cerebral palsy, people with depression, anxiety personality disorders, and every other non-“normal” brain. You are part of the neurodivergent community. don’t let the people who treat neurodivergent as if it only means “adhd/autism” alienate you.

fellow adhd/autistic people, i’m sorry our experiences have been lumped into one, invalidating our individual struggles. I’m sorry people ( NT and ND alike) are so scared of the words Adhd and autism to the point that they label us something more “appealing”

Reference sheets !

Alright more random info I couldn't fit on there

Nick's sibling is actually Sunny's friend, and the one who introduces Nick to him. Sunny's friend group is just Sunny, Nick's sibling, and one other friend.

Sunny is a demiboy/bigender; Nick is demisexual but has no idea the label even exists.

Nick's first shirt button always being opened is because he feels suffocated really easily, not just because I'm gay. It's kind of his kryptonite.

Literally every single one of Sunny's friends hate Nick. It's kind of a race for who cuts him off from the other first.

They both have very similar mental issues, they just have very different attitudes about it.

Sunny is Nick's first time actually being in love with his partner. He's had previous partners but was never emotionally invested in the relationship aside from extreme possessiveness. He's never dated one of the people he's stalked before.

Nick is Sunny's first partner, period.

Nick is very physically strong ! A lot more than Sunny, at least. Though Sunny has rage in him that could kill someone.

Sunny is constantly, and I mean constantly listening to music. If you start talking to him while he's listening to music, he will kill you. If you are a classmate who isn't a close friend and you try talking to him outside of school, he will also kill you! If you tell him to remove his earmuffs, start running.

Sunny naturally has a resting angry face. To counter that, he's trained himself to smile in public. If you catch him while he thinks no one's looking, he looks like a completely different person.

Nick has almost the exact same thing, except he consciously smiles in an attempt to look friendly, but his smile looks very unnatural and ends up looking creepy instead. (Him being... the way he is also doesn't help.)

Neither Sunny nor Nick have a good grasp on what's considered socially acceptable vs. what's considered creepy. For that reason, Sunny tends to excuse a lot of Nick's creepiness as "everyone thinks like this, it's just that no one says it out loud because it's not socially acceptable".

Nick is an introvert because he hates most people, but he's socially competent and somewhat charismatic. Sunny is an introvert because he is so socially incompetent that talking to people is just more trouble than it's worth.

Hi moots I'd like to mention please don't tag me in your writings or your art unless I've asked for it /lh okay love you guys bye

[wanderingmind867]

Today I go back to school. More specifically, I get on the school bus in like 20 minutes. So wish me luck today. I'm probably going to need it. With me going full days (from 7/8 am to 2 pm), and with me having stomach issues, I really think I could use some luck right about now. So hopefully all goes well. But I'm still ridiculously nervous, and I can only pray I don't need to come home early due to stomach problems. If that happens, I'm gonna end up rethinking going to school this semester. But I need to try and be positive. So for now, let's just pray all goes well.

Happy Birthday WeirdKev!

@weirdkev27 Here is your requested fic, the VTMB versions of Philliane Tropy and Zan Owlson being interviewed by a film crew a la What We Do In The Shadows! It's not EXACTLY like the TV show, I admit, but I think it has the right vibes, anyway. Hope you enjoy!

--

[cut to: PHILLIANE TROPY, a well-put-together Ventrue with pale blond hair, sporting a pink suit and a bright smile that looks entirely genuine – at least for the moment. She is seated behind a large desk of the exact type you imagine any CEO having, hands folded on the desktop]

TROPY: Oh yes, I know what a lot of the other Kindred say about me, and it’s simply not true. It’s not that I don’t respect any of them – it’s that I only respect the ones that I feel deserve to be respected! It’s not my fault that the ones who most insist on respect are the ones least deserving of it.

[she adjusts her position in her chair, leaning back slightly with a more thoughtful look]

TROPY: Take, for example, a Prince of my recent acquaintance, one Sebastian LaCroix. Fellow Ventrue, installed by the Camarilla in downtown Los Angeles after they swept in to help the Anarchs repel an invasion by the Wan Kuei.

CAMERAMAN: [sound of ruffling paper] Sorry, hang on – we thought they were fighting the Kuei-jin?

TROPY: I’ve heard both terms, and after making some inquiries, I’ve learned they prefer Wan Kuei. So that’s the term I’m going to use. [shrugs] Might as well not make relations any worse, right? Anyway, I understood that becoming Prince of Los Angeles – the heart of the Anarch Free States – is an inherently stressful position. You are under a lot of pressure to make a good impression and do your job well! All without pissing off the locals. But Prince LaCroix...

[she sighs heavily and rolls her eyes]

TROPY: Well. His handling of his new domain left something to be desired. Zan knows all about it, don’t you Zan?

[cut to: ZAN OWLSON, Trophy’s top ghoul and known lover, a dark-skinned woman with a curly Afro, large eyes, and an intelligent demeanor, sitting on a nearby couch. She nods in a very world-weary way]

OWLSON: She called me so many nights to bitch about him – I can say “bitch,” right?

CAMERAMAN: Yeah, if we need to, we’ll just bleep it in post.

TROPY: [laughs as the camera goes back to her] Oh, it was definitely bitching, I admit it! Poor Zan, I kept her up at night, and not for the fun reason...but really, the things he pulled were outrageous!

[she leans forward in her chair, the humor in her face gone]

TROPY: Like, listen to this – he had an illegal Embrace in his domain, and not only did he initially try to kill the fledgling along with her sire – never mind it wasn’t her fault she was turned without permission – he then turned the poor girl into his woman-of-all-work without giving her the slightest bit of education on what being a Kindred meant! He had her running around all over the damn city, doing things like blowing up Sabbat warehouses and investigating plague cults – things that no fledgling should be doing on their own! And he wasn’t even paying her a fair wage for her work! Every ghoul on my payroll earns more than she did, with benefits beside – and they’re almost all office workers! I had to step in and give the girl the money she’d rightfully earned! Let me tell you, LaCroix didn’t like that!

CAMERAMN: [sounding confused] Yeah, bet he didn’t, but – hang on, back to the thing about your ghouls. Don’t you usually pay ghouls in blood? That’s what all the other Kindred we’ve interviewed have said.

TROPY: And they wonder why I don’t respect them! [smacking a hand on the desktop] Blood doesn’t pay the bills! Blood doesn’t keep a roof over a ghoul’s head! The monthly drink from your domitor is a health benefit at most!

OWLSON: [off-camera] Philli has strong opinions about this.

TROPY: [sour-faced] It just agets under my skin that most Kindred consider making sure their ghoul stays a ghoul is sufficient payment for the work they do. No, making sure your ghoul stays a ghoul just ensures that they can keep doing the work. They deserve proper pay and benefits beyond the retention of their ghoul status.

CAMERAMAN: [with a soft chuckle] You almost sound like you want there to be some sort of “ghoul union.”

[TROPY stares directly into the camera for a moment – then her face splits into a wide smile]

TROPY: That – is a brilliant idea. Zan, do you think we could start one up?

OWLSON: [off-camera] I mean, I’m willing to try – but there’s going to be a lot of pushback from the other Kindred with ghouls around.

TROPY: [grins, showing off her fangs – and looking truly dangerous for the first time during her segment] Fantastic. I’ve been looking for an opportunity to throw my weight around.

Ok, but how are any of you (referring to mediaapple) considered hot? You're all way too thin (literal sticks). Not to mention that one of you has a TV for a head, another never brushes his teeth, and the third has nothing going for him. Name one thing that makes you hot.

"Nothing going for him? Are you blind?! First of all, fuck you, both of their waistlines are fucking sexy as hell. And all those stories about Lucifer being God's most beautiful angel? Yeah, it shows. He's gorgeous, and I love every inch of him! His hooves, that slutty little waist, those adorable cheeks. You know he blushes gold? Literally ethereal! And, uh, that flush looks even better over the rest of his body, just saying. And that's all without even getting into how fucking sexy he is when he's in his true form! Fuck, the raw power he exudes.... Anyway, you're insane if you think Lucifer has nothing going for him.

"And Alastor, I mean, come on! Everything about him is fucking perfect. His legs, his tail, the fact that I can almost wrap one hand around his waist! And I fucking love his ears, too! He's all sexy, sharp angles, and then has these soft, fluffy bits that are just too cute! And don't even get me started on his demonic form, cause I swear, there is nothing hotter than that.

"Oh, also, I'm fucking hot, too. Literally won Hell's hottest, thank you very much."

"With good reason. Vox is clearly hot. He has an amazing body - he's slender, sure, but let me tell you, that is all muscle. And honestly, I think the TV head just makes him even more compelling."

"I couldn't agree more! I truly don't see why anyone would list Vox having a television for a head as a downside. Why would anyone prefer something soft and fleshy that can get covered in sweat? His screen puts out warmth that is quite pleasant, and it is so delightfully expressive. As for his body, there's certainly nothing unappealing about it; I do so enjoy the way his electricity dances over him, highlighting his circuitry beautifully. And there's also something to be said for his hands - the are quite capable."

"Oh, fuck yeah, they are!"

the trophies for the 2024 dutch gp are funny looking, but now that i could make out the words on them, the more i read, the more my heart sank.

it applies to all of them, to varying degrees, sure, but still.

so many sacrifices were made, are being made, for their dream to become reality, to be the best of the best, to rise above all. i have so much respect and admiration for that, but also so saddened by it, thinking of all the things they lost and had to overcome. things i could never have done, had failed in trying, and wouldn't ask of anyone, yet they went through it all. they all paid the cost.

---

update: i'm back and i thought about it some more while i was gone. if i don't write it all down, it will nag at me in the back of my mind. i thought about whether i wanna reblog or update this post and i'm feeling an update so here goes

there's something about seeing the drivers holding a trophy with these words written on them.

like, these are all concepts we are aware of, that they themselves are aware of. once again, it's the cost of making their dream a reality. they know what they are getting into, we know what they are getting into. yet… for them to be laid out like this, as a tangible object in these drivers' arm…

when i look at max, charles and lando holding the trophy high above their head, sun shining upon them radiantly as a sea of people cheer together in celebration of their achievement, i see it as the three of them triumphantly screaming "look at what i have overcame!".

when they cradle it in their arm, i see it as them nursing invisible wounds. physical, mental, and emotional wounds that they have collected over the years, some they got from when they were still so young, tiny little kids barely reaching their adult selves' waist, yet still ache til this day, because those wounds never truly healed, because it never really got a chance to, because it's an ongoing battle.

there's also the reality of knowing they are raising those trophies high today in victory, but comes morning, and the process repeats.

like i said previously, it applies to all of them, not just max, charles, and lando. anybody else on the grid could be on that podium today holding the trophy, and these thoughts would probably still gonna enter my head. it's inspiring and humbling. it was a sobering experience.

If you are seeing a deluge of Green Day reblogs on your dash, that is my fault. I queued a lot of them. A LOT. Of them. In what I can only describe as post-gig induced hysteria. It is like 2:40 AM and I SHOULD sleep because there’s one more day of Osheaga to go, and there are bands I want to see on Sunday!! I am Going to see RAYE! I came to the festival literally only for her! But then also I rediscovered my love for Green Day, I’d forgotten how this was one of the first guitar bands I’d ever been exposed to (/English pop music I’d ever paid much attention to?) They didn’t play this, but 21 Guns, a little performance, way back in 2011 or 2012, I can’t even remember now. That, to discovering power chords aged 13 (as you do), to the downtuning and Dookie. To Billie’s frank discussions of sexuality and mental health. To both, Green Day’s unadorned rage to unbridled joy. From all the love Billie has to show and how he wasn’t afraid of being an atypical boy. How his refining of what a man can be helped me redefine and become comfortable in what I as a girl could be. Billie on his own terms? Me on my own terms. ‘I found out what it takes to be a man, my mom and dad will never understand’, but we did! He did it for himself, but what it meant to us!

Billie continues to redefine America for me. I’m not American, so I can’t even imagine how much more this must mean to American Green Day fans. I keep thinking back to those American Idiot photoshoots, the band with the green-tinted US flag behind them in the pictures and the music video, those shoots of the band sat together, wrapped up in the American flag. Many musicians have tried the patriotic route, most have failed. Spice Girls Union Jack? Cringe. Noel’s Union Jack guitar? Meh. If anything, a bit confusingly contradictory. Most bands trying to do the American flag these days. 👀 is the most common reaction. But not with Green Day. They continue to be the defiant laser pointer dragging your eyes away from other interpretations of the flag. As time goes on, I find myself thinking about how the only positive representations left of this flag, the ones I want to see, remain sports/Olympics and by Green Day. Rejects all-American indeed ✊❤️

And so here I am, rambling at 3 AM. Sorry. I’m queuing this too, so that the spam apology comes when the posts are flowing and not at 3 AM now, but I’m going to hold this experience close and cherish it and go to bed before the light comes up. Long day tomorrow, and I’ll upload the videos when I’m back home. Hope you’re enjoying the Green Day spamming, haha. I feel like I’m 13 again, in the best possible way. Viva Green Day! 💚

[coralpaperthoughts]

am I the only one who got super pissed off when at the start of June everyone was posting like 'omg we're half way through 2024 guys omg' ??

like no babes, it's only been 5 months. we've just started the 6th month and if u understand maths then u'd understand that we're only half way through the year once we've passed 6 whole months

anyways Happy July, we're officially half way done with the year ^^

The therian community has a problem with how they react to people not phrasing things to the exact. A critter could say something slightly off and someone will send a paragraph on why they need to “educate” themselves and how theyre “spreading misinformation.”

Like yeah, i get it, someones message may lead a different interpretation which strays from the truth. But like- is it necessary to spam with how wrong and horrible they are for just not being hyper-specific??

I feel as if this community is so scared of misinformation that they’ll go to the extremes to keep it away, even if that means getting angry at things that aren’t actually misinformation.

Dunno if this makes sense, but i keep thinking of the times folks have gotten angry with me for me not phrasing thing super specifically. which lead to them misinterpreting what i meant and then getting angry at me for their conclusion.

Like its cool when ur chill about it (a bit annoying but at least your not angry.) but when folks are genuinely upset and angry about it- its just like??? what??

turned into more of a rant than anything but i hope the point comes across
