#sometimes you gotta vent

[stealingyourbones]

Gotta love when folks write Superman incredibly anti-clone even though he had good reason in the beginning to Not Like Superboy (HES A WINDOW INTO WHAT CLARK WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE KENTS) and decide that forever on he’ll be spiteful towards clones even though he literally Does Not Care if you’re a clone unless you’re Superboy.

I would love to say reading about all the voters who think Biden is repealing abortion rights and so dont want to vote for him is shaking my faith in democracy but that would imply this is shocking to me and I had any to begin with.

The only thing Dick could hear over his heartbeat was the voice in his head telling him to remain calm. If he didn't calm down, he'd never get Bruce out of this. He would fail the man to which he owed his life. He shook his head as violently as he could without causing a sound, to dispel the image of having to tell Alfred that he failed and Bruce was gone. Dick wasn't going to let that happen. His training would get them through this. He forced a few slow breaths in and out before he continued through the vent system of the old office building.

It had been a grueling day, hours since Dick had lost contact with Bruce. The building was a dead zone, so Dick no longer had contact with Alfred at the moment either. It was all up to Robin.

He worked his way towards the third floor, pulling himself up on the sharp metal angles of the vents. He peered through the slats of the vents, eyes widening slightly when he saw Batman. Dick had found him.

He kept his breathing steady and quiet, trying to prevent any changes in the soundscape. The foundations of the building were old and parts were rusted from being so close to the water, so some noise was normal, but he needed that leeway for something else.

He scratched his nail against the metal of the vent, then gently pushed a part of the vent to make a low metallic noise. He watched the others in the room to see if they'd react. One of the goons looked up towards the vent at the metallic noise, but another brushed it off saying it was just the old bones of the building.

Dick ran through a few words in his mind, trying to decide what was best to communicate in morse code. Robin had too many longs in it. The word here should be able to go undetected.

He scratched out the rhythm of the word softly, pressing the metal of the vent for the one dash in r. By the time he reached the end of the word, the people watching over the Bat still seemed none of the wiser.

Even if the voice in the back of Dick's head that told him he couldn't get through the situation was right, at least Bruce would know he wasn't alone. That had to count for something.

Hearing about the way other people interact so easily makes me feel like there is something deeply wrong with me embedded into my soul

This . . . is Berk. A bit trampled, and busted, and covered in ice, but it's home. It's our home. Those who attacked us are relentless and crazy. But those who stopped them? Oh, even more so! We may be small in numbers, but we stand for something bigger than anything the world can pit against us. We are the voice of peace. And bit by bit, we will change this world. - Hiccup in HTTYD2

And this here kinda summarizes why I want to pretend the 3rd movie doesn't exist, because it just undid everything the first 2 movies (and tv shows) had established before :))))

"We will show the world dragons and people can co-exist, and we've been successful in defending our homes and lifestyle! No evil tyrants will bring us down! Oh what was that? An evil dude is after us again? Welp I guess we were wrong all along, time for the dragons to skedaddle into a small hiding hole then!"

:)))))))))))))))))))

/vent end.

I don't know what's been going on with me recently but like...there's this tiny shred of guilt that I'm not doing anything really engaging on here anymore? Like, my creative block is fading out (finally), but I haven't drawn or written anything substantial recently and I feel really weird about that. Not just for you all looking at my blog, but also just in a creative bust kind of way.

There are ideas and themes and such that I would love to play with or dabble in, but I keep stopping them because they're either too self indulgent or there's no visual work to go with it. I don't really know how to describe it? Like I feel like I've been lazy creatively speaking recently when I COULD be getting more ideas out, but it's about the same ship all the time and idk, I also feel like I've gotten to the point where I'm talking too much again? Not that anyone here has made me feel like that and I have asks that I need to answer so I KNOW I'm not talking too much but I'm!!!! Being splashed with the self conscious and self critical and imposter syndrome buckets and I need them to stop!!!!

Really wish Tumblr had an actual mute function.

Like a full block is excessive in this scenario (no one's done anything wrong, I'm just annoyed) but the block tag function is not doing it for me rn because I can still see the posts and my annoyance is slowly morphing into rage. And the envy monster is not a good look for me.

I enjoy hyping people up, I really do, but it's really fucking hard to keep doing it when they don't do it for you too.

I have so many things to be writing but I'm sad bc I had to default on the thing I was *going* to write today 😭

[soaps-mohawk]

I'm sorry for venting without your permission but I really need to say it somewhere, it's driving me crazy. I was talking to this guy for two weeks (online, we live in different countries), we could call everyday for hours and he was genuinely everything I wanted. We got into a dispute yesterday (I won't lie, it was my fault), but I apologized, he got some time to himself and he said he forgave me. We said goodnight with a promise of a fresh start today. Yet, I wake up blocked. I reached out to a friend of his to get through to him, he tells them to block me. I try approaching him with an alternative account I have, blocked immediately without a response. I'm so heartbroken I haven't eaten a thing, and I'm desperately trying to distract myself. Is this my fault?

Absolutely not anon. It's not your fault at all. If he can't handle a dispute (which YOU apogized for whether it was your fault or not), which is something that happens normally even in the healthiest relationships, then he's a red flag. Big red flag. Glaring red flag.

I can't speak to him or his thought process or his personality because I don't know him, or even really to the situation since I don't know what the dispute was about, but if he's not willing to work through something (which he even said he forgave you??) And move past it, then he's not mature enough to handle a real relationship, which honestly anon, you just saved yourself a world of hurt later.

It sucks. It does, it really hurts thinking you like someone and then you find out they're not actually that great. And ghosting someone?? Immature behavior. Very immature 🚩🚩 it's such shitty behavior, especially since he led you to believe everything was going to be okay and he forgave you and acted like he wanted to move past this. The issue is him. He's the problem in this, especially telling his friend to block you too?? Yeah.

Maybe I'm just old and have grown wise in the ways of the world, but if anyone ever acts like this after a disagreement or an argument?? Leave. Don't waste your time because they're not mature enough for even a friendship, much less a relationship.

Do not blame yourself, anon. This is in no way your fault, regardless of who started the dispute in the first place. You did your part, you apologized, you gave him space, and you were led to believe he was going to move past what is fairly normal in all relationships, not just romantic. HE was the one who chose to be a child and block you for whatever reason.

It's okay to be upset by this. It's okay to feel hurt and betrayed and think of all the reasons it could be your fault, but just remember it wasn't. You did everything you needed to do in that situation and he chose to be an immature idiot. Take time for yourself, eat some food (you'll feel better trust me) and (old person giving advice here again) don't put all your emotional stock into someone you've been talking to for two weeks. It's normal to start to feel emotions toward someone after that time, but until you really know them, until you've seen their reactions in situations like this, until you've seen them at their worst and how they respond to you at your worst, don't put too much stock into them. Especially in long-distance relationships. No matter how perfect you think they are, until you really know them and have spent time with them? Guard your heart and put you first. Sometimes it's not meant to be and this is a very clear red flag that probably has saved you from a lot of trouble down the road with him had he not done this now.

Be kind to yourself anon. YOU did everything right. He is the one at fault here for his emotional immaturity. Eat something yummy, take a nap, watch a movie, cry in the shower. You'll be okay. Allow yourself to grieve and don't hold it all in. It'll just hurt longer. 💚💚

Man I think I should be allowed to yell across the pool at camp kids taking my equipment from me while I'm teaching a lesson but apparently I'm not supposed to yell because they somehow couldn't have known they weren't supposed to take my stuff....

I got chewed out by this camp counselor after the lesson (who was sitting in the corner talking to her friends while this happened) she did this in front of my kids and their parents, do you have any idea how messed up that is??! Thank god my supervisor is backing me up oh my god

Maybe the fog’s here because I want it here.

Is that why I opened the windows?

Maybe I asked the fog to come…
