there’s some people who are so irrelevant in the dream drama landscape that no one but me even knows what they did but to me they’re still like john swan level of hatred like if quinton reviews doesn’t shut up about dream now im gonna get so mean posting this condescending ass shit while also partaking in the general shaming because it’s the trend you’re a loserrrrr why are you psychoanalysing dream and projecting onto him he doesn’t care he’s living the best days of his life + you’re an hypocrite + ratio

At the end of the day all dogs, no matter what they look like or what they were bred for, are DOGS. And as such they still want to enjoy the doggie aspects of life. Running and playing and sniffing and digging and engaging with humans in a positive way.

Like your Frenchie would love to run up and down a hiking path the same as my dogs if given the chance but their conformation makes it difficult for them. It’s not that they are lazy or don’t want to. Their brain does not perceive difference, their body simply does not accommodate fun dog things.

Your little dog still wants to interact with others and say things with dog body language and get that body language listened to and respected the same as my dogs but society’s interpretation of what is appropriate around a toy dog and a larger dog is unfortunately different. Their brain does not perceive difference, simply society does not think they are a danger when they react negatively to their boundaries being pushed in a way they do with larger dogs.

Somehow we tend to treat different breeds as separate species, but they are all dogs, all Canis Lupus Familiaris. And they all deserve to do dog stuff. Thank you.

God I hate how manipulative and addicting and never ending eds are. I’ve struggled with this for years now. This isn’t temporary or something that goes away when you’re no longer a teen. This isn’t something that goes away once you reach your ugw like your ed tries to trick you into believing, if you ever even reach it after you get stuck in a never ending cycle of gaining and losing. This doesn’t go away when whatever bad thing you’re using your ed to cope with currently gets better because then you realize you’re now lost and scared without the familiar comfort of those habits. And any new thing whether it’s big or small triggers you to binge or starve or want to hurt yourself again in some way. Or you’re finally out of that toxic situation but your past that you never actually healed from because you kept slapping those self destructive coping mechanisms on it like a bandaid couldn’t keep holding you together and you still need to confront your trauma but that’s too hard. Or it gets better until something slowly starts unraveling you again and its back to square one and it never ends. I’m just so tired I’m spiraling again. Will this ever stop?

I'm gonna say it now and I promise I am saying this from a place of love for both the show and the fans of it, some of y'alls attitude of "wwdits can't be queerbaiting us with nandermo because they're both canonically queer!" is literally not constructive at all and is only gonna end up getting you hurt later on down the line if it doesn't go canon. there is a big difference between saying these characters are queer and actually putting them in a queer relationship. you can admit they're baiting nandermo, it's okay. it's important actually. hold the writers and showrunner accountable for this kind of behaviour. saying "all the vampires are pan" is not the same as actually committing to making the characters explicitly queer on screen and making the popular gay ship canon. do not let them get away with thinking it's the same. please I'm begging you, wwdits is not the exception. it can still and IS still baiting us. acting like they're incapable of doing us harm with shit like that because nandor said he likes men once only gives them a pass for doing the absolute bare minimum or even straight up doing homophobic writing (like constantly playing guillermo's feelings for nandor for laughs and never resolving that in a way that does him justice - yknow, like dragging it on for two seasons and then having nandor marry a previously unestablished woman instead....) and you know it

i know we’ve been over this but it’s still so interesting to me how last june the city of dallas removed their statue of a texas ranger as an acknowledgement of their violence and racism and then a year later the city of austin and the state of texas gave a texas ranger copaganda show millions of dollars

Oh Gerard doesn't like the show?? I don't watch it so idk anything

he hasn't outright said he doesn't like it because he's not a dick and i'm sure he respects the team who work on it but like...okay i'm not gonna go and source all of this because it's stuff he's just kind of hinted at over a couple of years in various places but basically there was meant to be an umbrella academy movie in, like, 2012 or something that was going to be a pretty direct adaptation of the comics but it got canned. there definitely used to be a script floating around somewhere because i remember reading it a few years ago but i'm not sure how official/final it was. anyway it got canned because of the usual legal difficulties but also apparently gerard got a bit controlling about his artistic vision and wasn't happy with where it was going and shit.

anyway fast-forward to...2017 or 18 or whenever it was when they were first making the show and gerard was still relatively on board (he didn't have any input into the scripts themselves, but he had a hand in casting and discussed each of the character's arcs with steve blackman the showrunner, visited set a few times, that kind of thing. he made some comments in interviews that he'd matured a lot over the years and was now better at giving up creative control of things and listening to advice from the other people - he specifically mentioned being glad there was more racial diversity in the show because that's something he (very rightfully) regrets about the original comics. anyway he was involved a bit in the press for that first season before it aired and was pretty positive about it, and the first season is definitely the one that's most faithful to the comics (though tonally and thematically speaking it's a pretty loose adaptation). this got....looser as the show went.

like i said, gerard hasn't said anything actively negative about the show, but more recently he has kind of edged around praising it, stopped advertising it on social media even before he left instagram etc etc. He got asked what he thought about the music in the netflix show in an interview relatively recently and he gave a very roundabout careful answer (that's pretty representative of how he's recently spoken about the show in generally) that was basically "it's not.....what i would have chosen.........but i've gotten better at letting that kind of thing go." and then went on a spiel about how he considers the comics and the netflix show two entirely separate entities that have no bearing on each other. he's said multiple things like this clearly distancing himself from the show, and been quick to correct people when they assume he has a hand in writing it.

i'm sure he doesn't hate it! and i could well be projecting some of my own issues with the show onto gerard, but i will say the show like...at best extremely waters down, and at worst actively misinterprets the themes and aesthetics of the comics. and what does gerard care about if not themes and aesthetics you know? i'm not saying the show's terrible, i can see why people like it! and on the other hand i can see why some people wouldn't vibe with the comics! each of them have their own issues. but i personally did really love the comics before going into the show (they're actually how i got into mcr LOL), so i was disappointed by how a lot of things were handled - for example how much of its emotional resonance was kind of overlooked in favour of quirky jokes etc etc. a lot of that is to be expected just by virtue of netflix hosting it - the comics are way too dark to effectively translate to that platform, for starters. but anyway one of my biggest pet peeves is people calling gerard a "writer of netflix's umbrella academy" because i can guarantee you one thing, that show is not a gerard way creation, for better or worse.

Look, ranboo made a tasteless joke and acknowledged it and said he's sorry. He apologized because he thinks it's wrong. You're not a lesbian so stop saying "he doesn't need to apologize" let him do whatever he wants. If he wasn't sorry and wasn't thinking it was a wrong thing he wouldn't have apologized. Stop acting like he's 10 and can't decide doing stuff on his own.

1. i AM a lesbian. i’m not required to put everything about myself on my bio and it’s not your place to assume anything about me. stop with your condescending bullshit.

2. his joke doesn’t require an apology. it is not lesphobic or discriminatory in any way. thats a type of joke me and my other lesbian friends make FREQUENTLY and given that his joke wasn’t harmful in ANY way and it’s funny he’s allowed to make it. (you know how gay jokes are jokes when they’re a) not homophobic and b) funny? he has both of those. that’s a JOKE. not him being a discreet lesphobe.)

3. if you read my post properly and watch the stream properly you will see that this isn’t a simple situation that went like “cc made poor joke. apologized. everyone moved on. happy ending!”

i know what being close to having a panic attack looks like and i know how being close to tears sounds like. he’s already socially anxious enough and held to a pedestal high enough that he feels the need to apologize to people over anything.

this isn’t me babying him or dictating what he can or can’t do. this is me being worried about the harassment a teenager receives online and the repercussions of normalizing shit like this will have outside of the mcyt community too. go online and read about how children get radicalized with altright ideals. (tldr: it starts with them being forced into apologizing for everything that they completely dismiss all valid criticism.)

are you seriously not seeing how he’s been guilt tripped to address this? he deleted the message after he realized people could be hurt by it (that’s okay and that’s enough) and people dug that shit up, constantly threw it on his face to the point where he couldn’t ignore it anymore, and made him make an apology stream on it.

if you lied to someone enough times they’d start believing you, wouldn’t they? are you gonna still talk about how they’re free to make their own decisions then? he’s a person of his own but a. his decisions stop being his if he gets under fire as a public figure and b. him making his own decisions doesn’t make them any less harmful and the fanbase any less responsible.

rejection sensitive dysphoria is the the worst sensation in the entire goddamn world and even though i know it’s an irrational thing i still can’t help but feel like a waste of space who everyone merely tolerates the presence of. it’s like an annoying as fuck devil on your shoulder that won’t shut up about how all of your friends secretly hate you or how much better off everyone else would be without you. it’s the one thing that no amount of adhd medication will be able to curb the impulses of. it helps curb the impulsivity of the things i might do after experiencing rsd (like taking off in the middle of the night and wandering around alone in an unfamiliar city without telling my friends, or worse) but it does nothing to stop the initial trigger.

god i hate it here

The Article is questionable and presumptive but now that we're talking about it, did the timeline of "All tma creators insist the show is over and they're glad it ended -> RQ has financial troubles -> The creators of tma suddenly decide they want to keep continuing the story. for no reason 🥰🌸" not seem suspicious at all. the Kickstarter goals situation terrified me
