#si: why are you me? i'm me

[iliothermia]

Apologies, I wanted to make a public note that I've shut off my anons because too often lately I've gotten messages making incorrect assumptions about me and then telling me to do something I'm sure you all can guess. I guess because people know I'm Jewish, but I've been distancing myself from stressful topics to focus on my medical stuff, I don't know.

Anyway, I wanted everyone who's messaged me with personal events to know it wasn't because of them, serious personal messages especially about struggles with one's body are never a bother to me. I'm cheering everyone on and only want things to get better for them!! ♥️

People can still ask me with (***) in their message and I'll reply privately.

Seeing (another) doctor tomorrow, wish me luck

finding out that j kenji-alt videos are exactly my jam after hearing people rave about him for several years kind of feels like the first time i watched Casablanca and realized it's exactly as good as everyone had been telling me my entire life.

I found someone in my classroom!!! She's so cool and I've sat next to her last year and she always loves to talk and I loved to listen to school recent gossip and this year she's on my latin classes and we've been getting back in touch and!!! And!!! We discovered we both have similar ideas!! I'm explaining her anarchist theory and she shares acab media she just discovered, we circle the 13/12 date in the classroom blackboard and run, I send her tutorials I've discovered on how to do moss graffiti and she asks for information about world events and if I don't know about them we investigate together and then we exchange opinions!! And this, this is so special to me, because I've been trying to connect with someone in my surroundings, and there wasn't— interest. Like I talk and there's this tight smile on my friends face. And. And sometimes it breaks my heart? But this. This is so fucking cool.

Okay, see, the thing about your story ending on a negative/dystopian/'despite everything that's happened nothing has changed in society' note and doing so successfully? It needs to have been set up for that in the first place, and it needs to be done in an intentional manner.

I have nothing against works that reinforce how cruel/meaningless/pointless/etc. the world is -- I enjoy a fair few! -- but the works themselves need to be some sort of commentary about it; the plot might be demonstrative of the futility of everything, but the story never should. It should take that and build on it and use it to make a statement, underscore a point, etc. to its readers. Having everything carry on business-as-usual without acknowledging it, especially in a genre that's generally meant to conclude on optimistic, uplifting, and hopeful notes, comes off as callous and in direct opposition with the values it extols.

Plus, the story itself should never be futile because, then, well, it never mattered as a work and it makes no difference if you've read it or not. Which... that's just a badly written story lmao.

The whole ignored vs forgotten poll is so interesting and ended up prompting me to reflect upon the thought process behind the bpd for me

Like I'm not fine with being ignored, but it hurts less because I can choose to ignore them back and cut them off and it's a "I left you before you left me" type of situation

Vs being forgotten that indicates that they never really gave a shit and that I've already been abandoned and then that ultimately triggers the SI and I'm just like 👁👄👁

i took the whole week after christmas off so i'm off from dec 22nd to January 2nd and on one hand i'm so looking forward to it and if they try to call me back i'm gonna be so mad. but on the other hand that's too much time to spend at my family house with my mom

Watching a video of an animation student in other country made me realize how fucking deficient my university is, por la gran puta...

I am THE best at going to bed on time, and I swear I'm about to go to bed, pinky promise, but I need to make it known that, y'all, I have a problem. Also, I have good news and bad news:

The good news is, I'm probably going to wind up writing two post-DLC self-insert isekai fics

The bad news is, I'm lowballing that number because at least one of them is shaping up to be a trilogy

...that's more bad news for me and anyone who doesn't give a care about my self-insert bullshit, tbh XD

But yeah, I had the thought of dropping my SI into Rheddah and having her get picked up by the cult and ultimately having to fight against Frey and Sus, and it's been so much easier to write than dropping her into Athia for some reason? Although that could just be bc I'm way overthinking the dropping her into Athia thing, considering I'm adding three OCs on top of the SI and I need to find a way to make all of that make sense. Whereas dropping her into Rheddah, I'm only adding Keen and I've got his plot all figured out no matter which way I write these fics.

So yeah. Two or more for the price of one: absolutely free!

Why do I do these things to myself? Because it's fun :P

also if you have relatives/friends who will not in a million years admit that they are racist/homophobic/etc. since they know this is a bad thing they shouldn't endorse or be, then calling them out directly often leads to denial and deflection and getting really defensive and not backing down.

But if you just say 'hey, it was kind of rude to say X' or 'i think you were making H uncomfortable by bringing up X/making X joke' then they're more likely to listen w/out immediately going to level 10 defensive mode.

Also, ppl who will staunchly deny being a racist/fatphobe/homophobe/etc. will be more likely to agree to simply being 'a bit of an asshole last night.'

The goal is not to get the person to make a complete 180. It's to get them to be a little bit less of an asshole next time. And then rinse and repeat until someday they're, like, barely an asshole at all.

GRADE SCHOOL SJWS stop using social justice language to explain shit to your conservative parents IT’S NOT GONNA GO THROUGH now all they have are some new words to make fun of. don’t tell your mom she’s being fatphobic tell her she’s being a dick

remembering again why i so rarely put any real effort into my appearance. shaving is annoying. painting nails is annoying. doing something with my hair other than slapping it up in a bun is annoying. the whole rigamarole of making myself acceptably feminine is a sisyphean task i have very little interest in participating in and rarely have the energy to complete.
