#quit gaslighting

[keeganmantle]

After using Google Translate, I managed to translate what this guy said: "I am so p*ssed off by this man that this is the last post I will ever write about him! He really p*ssed me off! What did I do to him? have no idea! Just someone who decided to slander me. I don't have the energy to translate everything into English, so I write in my native language. I don't care if he understands it or not but my friends yes I proved to them all that this man is just sick"

Dude! I'm not the one who's sick, Wang! You are! Stop acting like a victim. It's over dude. Just screw off. Get off the internet. Why not we remember that Monday morning. He slandered me. Just out of no where I get a mention from him saying all these nasty stuff about me. He obviously got so ticked off I blocked him that he went as far as to use other peoples' accounts to threaten me, say nasty s*xual things about me, and insult my family and my girlfriend! I have all the screenshots, Wang. They are real. How would they be fake? You can see my profile next to the type box at the bottom center.🙄

That should show you it's a screenshot. I cropped it to the DM box of course so people could see it.🤷‍♂️

So in retrospect, I did nothing to this idiot. I'm the victim here. All I did was turn down an art trade! That's it! What was going on in his head that day? I'm not putting up with Wang's sh*t anymore. But of course I'm gonna have a grudge or so. He said he was gonna kill me. My life was on the line but no, he just kept coming. Great, thank you, Wang. Just another layer of paranoid just what I needed. Your friends are morons as well for believing you. Don't they see I have all the evidence against you? What do you want from me man? I ain't going to apologize. Why should I? Stop playing the blame game. It's over. We all know. I showed everyone. You should've let it go. But you didn't. You just had to come back. Well, either focus on your own thing or I'll get you reported again. In fact, I don't feel safe with him on here now so...please just report this guy because he's gonna be a gaslighting regardless.😔

I'm the one who's ticked off at him! He put so much paranoia on me with those DMs saying he was gonna find me and kill and yet he has the balls to come back? How?! Wang, you're 22. You should be acting your age. It's embarrassing. I'm sorry about this guy, everyone. I just wanna move on. But thank you guys for being here and trying to protect me from this guy. You know when someone threatens you, you gotta tell everybody. Lowlifes are a joke. The bad guy always loses. Ok, I just had to get a lot out of my system. I don't understand how he's still here and yet has the guts to say I'm the one who attacked him. Classic gaslighting of lowlifes.😏

Wang, get off the internet, and go outside. Please. And thank you Wang for finally leaving me alone! Unless you plan to threaten me again soon. But it could just be my PTSD talking.🙄

To Wang Liu and his crazy friends I assume, you don't know me. I have anxiety and you're only making it worse. Screw off. Leave me alone. You're a bunch of cowards for coming back.😒

Another idea to do with this post I made;

They aren't raised together. The deal between Shiva and David is still intact when they're born, and when Shiva ends up having 3 kids, it presents a perfect opportunity for David Cain to put in a proper experiment with these kids. He takes Cass, raises her as he did in canon, and tells Shiva to raise Tim how she sees fit, and then they give Jason to a struggling couple in Gotham city, just to see if their genetics really do create the perfect child assassins, or if they have to foster the ability into them, and who's better at it.

Tim and Cass end up meeting when they're around 5 or 6, and they end up fighting then, too. It's a pretty even fight, all things considered, but eventually Cass ends up with a knife to Tim's throat, and Tim ends up with two daggers pointed from behind Cass's head and their parents decide to stop things there.

Jason, meanwhile, is being raised just as he was in canon. His dad gets arrested around this time, and he's left alone with his mother, completely clueless to his siblings currently battling it out in a different continent.

David forces Cass to kill when they're 8, and it fucks Cass up. She ends up hunting Tim and Shiva down, and while she still hasn't figured out talking, Tim is able to get that something bad just happened, and they have to go now. So, they run off together and end up in Gotham about 2 years later.

They're 10 when they run into Jason, who immediately gets freaked out because he and Tim look literally identical, but there are a few basic differences, and Cass just looks like them if they were a girl. Jason, newly homeless after his mother's death a few months before, shows Tim and Cass the basics of Gotham, and in exchange, Tim and Cass show Jason how to handle being homeless (and how to fight properly)

Tim and Cass technically can speak English, Tim moreso, but it's definitely not a perfected thing, and Jason becomes a sort of translator for them.

When Jason ends up stealing Batman's tires 2 years later, he runs to get back to Cass and Tim, who are admittedly and annoyingly better at fighting than him. Bruce obviously follows him, and when he stumbles across 3 kids who look a hell of a lot like Lady Shiva, he just has to take them home.

realized a drawing i'm doing rn is almost identically posed to one i did 8.5 years ago of a different oc, except the old drawing was instantly tainted by one of the players featured messaging me asking if i could take it down because their abusive, possessive rp partner saw it and got jealous of them "roleplaying behind their back" and i said "nah" and it became a whole Thing that i should have walked away from at that exact moment but didn't and the 6 months that followed contained some of the most truly condensed batshit i have ever witnessed in an rp community already well-known for its batshittery.

... anyway i love my friends. so happy to accidentally redeem the pose.

[saintbleeding]

ok question to artists. do y’all include lil bits of hcs/lore in ur art esp for fanworks. i am so curious

[silli-illi]

Oh ls!wemmbu...

There was this one part in wemmbu's orbital cannon video where he went afk and squiddo was talking to 4C about disliking working with wemmbu and for the longest time i thought he heard this conversation because you know he included it in the video but my friend told me today that he didnt and it was kinda for foreshadowing or something like that which i understand that it makes the story really interesting, knowing the downfall would come. But I thought wemmbu knew he just didnt say anything and i felt so bad for him. He was just waiting for the inevitable betrayal but he cant do anything cause there would be no one to go to, no one else to rely on. And when squiddo did betray him he just seemed so calm like he knew it was coming. But my friend told me he actually didnt hear it? And he is just calm like that which i guess is kinda true but i dont know. I viewed it as such a sad period for him which honestly without the conversation it's still sad but doesnt hit as hard. If he did overhear it, he knew his teammate was betraying yet didnt do anything, had so many problems and setbacks when building the cannon, and in the end didnt even get to do it, gets betrayed and banned but still doesnt succeed the second time, gets found and killed then i think he also got playerbanned(???? i could be wrong but i remember spoke said something about that once). 4C brought this up on stream once and i keep thinking about it. None of the other members knew his story other than 4C (and squiddo but she doesnt view it the way 4c does). Everyone hated him, only 4C felt bad and revived him, twice but he just killed himself again.

ls!wemmbu in during abyss arc was like so sad man. I'd still like to think he did hear that convo. Makes his story sadder hihi😈

[keen-eye]

you know what would be so meta and funny (to me at least)

if in pac-man fever when charlie tells sam and dean that she read the supernatural books she also said she read fan forums and that apparently a lot of the audience really dislikes sam lmao. he’s already one of the most tragic characters ever for his treatment in universe (which i love) and out of universe (which i hate). let’s just amp it up because there’s no winning for him anyway

imagine if sam knew that the audience prefers dean and even supports his abuse of sam because dean is ultimately always viewed to be in the right. on top of knowing that the prophet/later-revealed-to-be-god chuck that literally wrote the story of their lives is unsympathetic to him and also prefers dean. for good measure, i want to rewrite the french mistake and have the writers giggle about how they’re going to torture sam next because they and the audience think he deserves it. and make it so au jared knows about it too. let sam be repeatedly and mercilessly brutalized to an extremely comical degree because it’s entertaining to everyone in and out of universe. but he’s aware of this now and yet he still remains kind-hearted through it all because that’s what makes it so ludicrous and fun. make him think “it can’t get any worse than this” but it absolutely does.

keep the momentum of sam wanting nothing but to be good but have everyone else always treat him like he’s the problem. turn the truman show into the sam show. have single episode side characters break the fourth wall because their hate for sam is so strong just by being around him. make it extremely obvious that sam does nothing to warrant this and that he’s being gaslit in and out of universe. he can be aware of how strange this all is and wonder if he’s actually insane but the scene needs to change quickly so he doesn’t have time to fully deal with it because hurry sam there’s more pressing matters!! have him try to bring it up to other characters but they immediately change the subject until sam lets it go

have it be a social experiment, write dean to be even worse than he already his, more psychopathic super villain, see how far it can go before people turn on him (we all know they won’t). in each episode near the end have sam begin to truly realize that he needs to escape, but have him die a random death like in mystery spot which resets him for the next episode. the audience can even vote for what it will be each time. it’s cathartic for them. dean lets this happen because he needs his sammy to stay with him. keep the ending the same. sam marries his blurry wife and names his son dean jr, then sam joins dean in heaven for all eternity. don’t ever let him be free.

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

[stardust-moth]

they have still yet to show me evidence of El and Mike being incompatible or otherwise not good for one another. Show me where. Otherwise, sorry, no I will not hear you out

And no. Extrapolating your own meaning simply out of the actors' facial expressions (meaning that is not supported by other factors such as music cues, the framing of shots or how they are edited, and the actual narrative) does NOT count as evidence.

[stewykablooey]

That Being Said. i think if kendall and stewy started dating Now, they would honestly go about it in The most ridiculous way. like they would pull a ‘historians believed that they were very good friends’ on themselves. would never name it would never admit it would act like a couple but insist there’s nothing going on would never even acknowledge it at all. theyd never be apart but they would also never move in together, theyd just spend all their time with each other but have separate homes that they never use. and then at age 80 they retire to a mansion by the sea and die in each others arms ten years later without ever giving any explanation

[lovelytonys]

alright so i finally finished reading the cantwell run

and yeah I knew I wasn't going to love it going in. But I tried to give it a fair shot! I actively tried to find things I could like about it. I appreciate someone wanting to write a character-driven Iron Man story instead of just coming up with the most insane plot possible, I appreciate the focus on trauma and addiction. There are some moments I liked. I actually liked the last arc, and the special final issue as well.

But ultimately I'm just so tired.

I don't even know how much I actually liked the last arc or if it was just better enough than what came before it that I found it relieving. Like. I'm just tired.

Maybe the problem is me! Maybe the problem is me and I'm insisting on holding on to a version of the character that hasn't existed in 25-30 years and I just need to let it go. Maybe this is an incredible run of Iron Man because this just is who Tony Stark is now and I need to let go. I feel like I'm going insane when I read Iron Man comics because I'm like.........you're writing a critique on a version of the character that isn't even!!!!!!!! him!!!!!!! that isn't even him!!!!!!!!!! but it's been!!!!!! IT'S BEEN DECADES SO WHO IS HE ANYMORE I GUESS!!!! this is maybe a fascinating character deconstruction and reconstruction. maybe it is! but who is that you're deconstructing. who even is that. it's a frankenstein's monster amalgamation of every new notion of tony stark that's been thrown at the wall and happened to stick over the last 20-whatever years i'm just so tired

how many times do we need to tell stories that are like "OH NO tony stark's EGO is making him WREAK HAVOC ON EVERYONE" how many times do we need to give him a god complex and make it about his ego. how many times do his good intentions and his good heart need to be undermined. why is it always about arrogance, about how much of a jerk he is to his friends. I was trying my best for a good portion of the run but dear god did he lose me at the iron god arc. always trying to write the next big ginormous memorable iron man villain or wild plot point.

tony stark's employees were loyal to him because he was kind to them, you know. he knew them by name. tony stark valued being on the ground, helping people from beside them and not always from some ivory tower. tony stark desired sweet and meaningful connections with other people, lovers or friends or those he could help or anyone. tony stark was like. boy-scoutish in how good he was. tony stark drew a heart on a frosted window and softly lamented to himself "if I only had a heart." tony stark was carol danvers' sponsor when she was recovering from alcoholism.

don't get me wrong, he's one messy dude. his struggles with addiction, his obsession with work, his self-hatred and self-doubt, there's so much that gets in his way. But does a broken heart make him predisposed to being.....bad?

It feels like Civil War is just an unshakeable shadow at this point.

It feels like a few things. 1. the shift in tone of his series in the 2000s that took a turn for the sleek and gritty, 2. the, quite frankly, character assassination of Civil War that was so potent that comic writers never stopped associating tony stark with god complexes and villainy and 3. needing to create synergy with the mcu but mainly doing that based on the surface aspects of mcu tony

leaving us with this version of tony 15, 20 years later who is. like. a copy of a copy of a copy.

and we get story after story of, like, this critique on how arrogant he is or how he can't get his ego in check enough to not play god and I won't say his stories are always unsympathetic to him but it's been a heck of a long time since I've read an Iron Man run that feels like it truly, genuinely has love for Tony Stark. Or even tries to understand him beyond the copy of a copy of a copy that developed in the 2000s-2010s.

Why does his broken heart always have to lead him toward being harmful? Why is it always tony stark makes a bad decision even though it may have started with good intentions and needs to learn his lesson? Why doesn't his broken heart ever lead him toward being soft? Why doesn't it ever lead him toward simple love and kindness? It did once. Tony Stark was soft once, he actually was.

I'm just tired dude
