I don't understand why fans in general are always so against critical analysis & always try to defend characters whenever someone points out bad writing. Bsd fans have huge issue like that I'm glad you're so vocal about dazai character writing tho cause lots of people just avoid it due to his fans taking it so personal
I think it’s mainly an issue of people not properly tagging their posts, so that when people search their favorite characters, they find negativity instead of the positive content they were hoping for. It makes sense why that would be annoying— but in the end of the day it’s everyone’s job to curate their own internet experience.
I tag all of my negative posts with #anti dazai, so it’s pretty easy for a person to just block that tag (or block this account), and so most people don’t have a problem with me. I’ve only run into any sort of problem with two separate tumblr users in the past (one of which is pretty infamous in these bsd tumblr circles)— so from my end of things, I don’t really see all the people getting angry about character-critical content. I know it’s out there, I personally just don’t come across it very often.
I also block very liberally, so that might be a contributing factor to why I don’t see that side of the fandom. But either way.
I’m glad you’re enjoying this blog!! For any given piece of media there will be positive aspects and negative aspects, and everyone can and should feel free to talk as much as they want about both sides. There also isn’t a single right answer— meaning one person could find a character to be written in a very compelling way and someone else can find the character writing shallow— neither person is wrong, so long as they can justify their opinions with textual evidence.
The only time a media interpretation is wrong is when it’s entirely made up. And I don’t mean “this person read the text and came away with a different conclusion than me,” I mean “this person is directly contradicting the text and is giving no reasons for why they might think the text is lying.” There’s always the concept of an unreliable narrator, but on tumblr, the website that’s infamous for lacking any sort of Reading Comprehension… yeah you’re not gonna get the brilliant literary debates everyone’s hoping for.

I love the f1 containment breach genre posts so much 😭😭 they're so funny . I feel so bad for the op bcs at first it's just a few random "#[insert driver] coded" in the tags, but then it truly breaches containment when they acknowledge it and then their post is just permanently an f1 post hahahah

When he looked genuinely happy to be at Cons. Now in most photo ops he doesn't look like he’s enjoying them. I think it’s becoming a job for him rather than connecting with fans. I miss this Jensen
Hey there, spn300!
I'm kinda glad I didn't post this until after my big anon ask and my even bigger essay response.
Because... this is a perfect point to what I was making.
In earlier photos and cons and everything, Jensen... seemed full of light and life. But as time went on... that light seemed to dim and diminish. Staying in an unhappy marriage would more than likely do this. Staying with someone who was likely emotionally abusing them... would do that too.
Sure, sure... it could be growing older, but... I'm not that much younger than Jensen and... no. It's not getting older. It's finding less joy in life as everything around turns to ash and dust. Because so much is going wrong.
Sorry, spn300! I hijacked your post.
Yes... I miss his smiles too.

This reminds me of it so, I would absolutely LOVE to introduce you to Rocksmith 2014. This cool little tool teaches you guitar and has a whopping 1,555 items of Downladable Content that ranges in price from (roughly) 2.99 - 11.99 USD! If we were to exclusively lowball the price of each DLC it would come out to the fantastical price of $4,649.45 USD! I also want to mention that there are numerous repeats of songs through the inclusion of bundles that may or may not lock access to the songs included in said bundle.
Also, most songs that people would want to learn guitar are locked behind this paywall! If you want to learn multiple of these songs it can cost excessive amounts of money for what is essentially tablature that isn't even all too accurate a decent portion of the time! Might I also add that you can learn these songs through sheet music/tablature free online? You also need to pay for the game that, I wish to reiterate, has roughly $5,000 worth of DLC! And the base game doesn't have all too many tracks too! The only tracks I really do remember are Sore Tummy - PAWS and Say it ain't So - Weezer.
Fret not however, the game includes tutorials for numerous techniques that explained at about the quality of a friend who is so excited to teach you a concept that they skip every important step of learning and performing the technique! This reblog was initially about DLC and I havent forgotten that detail yet! The following images are proof of this claim (so you don't have to go to the steam page):

I saw a post about how Carmen Santiego has great character designs and diversity through race and body types. I considered it a good post and one that makes a good point...And then below it was a reblog about how a person went "If Carmen Santiego can have a diverse cast of HUMANS, then what the hell is up with Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss?"
First of all...What the hell do either of those two things have in common? They sure are animated shows, I'll give you that. Except that one's a children's animated spy thriller and the other two are adult musical comedy dramas in Hell. Stylistically and tonally, neither of them have anything to do with each other and you just randomly made a point because...you hate Hazbin and Helluva? Cool. Congratulations. Now get a new personality and just fucking watch something else if these two shows made your hatred this obsessed when you randomly attack a show through a post that has NOTHING to do with it. The OP wasn't attacking Hazbin Hotel or Helluva Boss. Unless they constantly attack it and they made that post to prove a previous point, something that does NOT come across in that original post, there's no reason to go "Hey, why didn't these completely different shows with their own styles take notes of this kids show with ITS unique style?"
And here's the thing: I like Carmen Santiego. I like the way that it looks, and I think its style really is unique compared to other animated series that have come out around the same time. And I do agree that it has a great diverse cast that shows off a lot of body diversity where every single character looks unique in their own way. But here's the thing: I would not go out of my way to attack other shows, to the point where I'd hijack someone else's post to say, "Yeah, this show is WAY better than this other one I hate." And if I had in the past...I'm sorry. I really am sorry. I hate that I acted that way and I will try to do better. Because that's what I do with media criticism or talking about stuff I don't like. I try to act BETTER than I have in the past because that's not how you talk about media. Whether you like it or hate it, it's never a good thing to talk about something you hate when the discussion is about something someone else loves. Sometimes it makes sense, as there are often two products that are similar to each other. Like Marve/DC, Star Wars/Star Trek, and The Owl House/Amphibia. Those are media where there's a lot to compare and contrast, with people being unaware that the main reason why they like the other basically boils down to personal preferences when it comes to consuming media. But with Hazbin/Helluva and Carmen Santiego, there's really NOTHING to compare and you're just going out of your way to talk about something you hate when it's not relevant to the conversation. It's like people who hyped up Puss in Boots: The Last Wish just to shit on Velma. Yeah, The Last Wish is a thousand times better than Velma, but there's nothing similar about both products that make the discussion worth it. You're just using something you love as a weapon towards something you hate.
I get it, people like some things and hate others. It's how we're wired as human beings and I can't stop that. Nor do I think I CAN stop it. But just feel like this is making media discussion worse when all we can think of to do when discussing something we love and bringing in something we hate into the conversation. It's not necessary, and you're feeding the creators that thing you hate by still talking about it. You want to know the best possible way to react to "objectively bad" media? Stop talking about it. Stop watching it. STOP ENGAGING.
If you don't fucking like it, stop consuming this piece of media and go watch something you enjoy instead. Give THAT your time. Show how THAT does everything right and sing its praises. Raise up this one thing that you believe is "objectively good" so it can effectively overshadow this thing you consider "objectively bad." There's a way to discuss media without shitting on something you don't like.

im always so nervous and paranoid everytime you vent about people using tumblr wrong lol!
im new here and im trying to learn and doing everything well but im still so afraid that im doing it wrong
do you have maybe some tips what to do and what not to do (like reblogs, comments etc), please? i don’t want to make anyone mad or something:(
tysm!🖤
first of all I'm very sorry I make people worried that's absolutely not my intention. unless I'm rambling about a very serious issue I'm just throwing it out and also this particular thing is not something I'd, I dunno, block someone over
I went through my notifications and got some examples, so I hope it's understandable. censored ofc, I wouldn't put someone on blast for this
also please don't make it a drama, it's just my opinion and if yours is different we can agree to disagree. I know a lot of people will agree with me, tho, because it's not something I just came up with and decided is right but it's the tumblr culture and it's just what is considered polite and what is considered rude at this point
under the cut
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
the point is that when you're reblogging something just to share it and express your opinion on it, and not adding any real content to the post, it should be in the tags
when you add something meritorical to the post that's supposed to stay with it through further reblogs by people (but make sure the op is okay with that, don't just go out there hijacking a post because you need attention), you use the comment reblog
and you do not reblog personal posts. not only personal, some posts just don't need reblogging. if you read someones vent and you want to op you're there for them use messages or replies. don't share their personal rambles

Why do you say no pedo stuff in your pinned but you reblog posts that say it's right wing to be critical of such? It's not right wing to hate pedophiles it's not right wing to admit some "kinks" are morally reprehensible. As a formerly exploited child I know the dog whistles. If you see people saying support ALL kinks uncritically they're not talking about spanking they're trying to network with other pedophiles. Two large groups on here have already been found to be sharing pics of kids in private discords :( many popular bloggers involved. Please be careful about sharing such posts. Look out for people complaining about things like "purity culture". They're creeps. They're either fucking animals or kids or both sorry. I know you probably didn't know tho.
yea upon further inspection op literally had proship in their bio so i probably shouldve checked before rbing 😭 it seems so impossible to actually find any nuance on this topic without there being weird pedophiles in disguise hijacking the conversation. please send more info about those bloggers if you can bc that's so scary and i want to make sure it's not anyone i follow :(

i'm laughing my ass off at that 'anti-max' post with the visual gap between max and checo. like? excuse me? how is that an anti-max post? lmao, if anything it just emphasizes max's greatness and his inevitability as one of the greatest in the history of the sport. i don't get why these people get so pressed about it only when it comes to max. would they say the same thing had we stayed in the merc domination era? ferrari's? like. sorry but that's how sports -and specially f1- work. anyway, great job by the max nation once again. (reminds me of that one anti-lestappen charles-ships poll where lestappen won by a landslide lol).
i mean i only know that was an anti post bc op posted it to show how max’s domination is making the sport boring for them. but to us that visual is just proof of how exceptional his driving abilities are. i guess they were annoyed we hijacked their post but like this site is free real estate you can’t control who rb your posts. also id like to add that whilst lh cult is always spitting shit @us and @max we mostly stay in our lane. like you don’t see us actively hating on lewis or them. if anything we always direct our hatred @merc. and when it comes to domination eras, some of these people weren’t here for merc’s time and only really started watching in 2021. but like f1blr in 2019 was mostly seb fans hoping for a wdc title with ferrari and everyone here was sick and tired of the merc 1-2 every fucking race. back then you couldn’t find anyone enjoying the sport as it was. so i get how they might find max’s domination boring bc they never experienced anything else and it’s not their driver on that top step race after race. but there’s nothing you can do about it. just as there was nothing we could do about it when lewis was dominating. and to be fair merc dominated for almost a decade so i think they can handle a couple years of max winning bc it’s not guaranteed rbr we’ll be able to keep performing at this level in the next years. just let us enjoy it while it lasts

He’s gonna be like wait you had a loving boyfriend and an auntie witch (and, sure, she murders people but defends Billy) too?? All I got was this lousy Bohner family reunion t shirt.
Am curious how they will handle Tommy. I think if I did it then Thomas Shepherd would be in the juvenile institution when Tommy Maximoff shows up. And he/they would be like, “Cool, let’s get out of here.” And he’d run around and steal stuff and eventually end up in a government facility which will make it difficult to find him. Like Billy can’t just Google search, the way he did with Agatha. Robo Papa will probably be necessary, so that makes sense why Vision’s show us next.
Billy is gonna find Tommy in Thomas Shepherd’s body and Tommy’s gonna be like “what do you MEAN the closest dead body to you was a twink with loving parents and health insurance? I had to go three towns over and mine is a delinquent son of divorce!”

I have bipolar disorder as well. It's a tiring battle that has caused a lot of loss in my life, as well as worsened physical health. I saw a post you reblogged about existing while in chronic pain. Although I have gnarly PMDD with terrible physical symptoms at least once every two months, I'm not in chronic pain. But something about the post felt familiar- existing while constantly carrying around a mood disorder is really hard and often feels like too much. I almost reblogged it until I saw someone in the comments that said something along the line of "I don't care if you have a mental illness or whatever, this is about people who aren't able-bodied and are chronically ill, get your own post!" It felt like a door slammed in my face. Just curious, because I don't know if you have chronic pain as well (I'm sorry if you do), but how does that comment make you feel? And how do you feel about this type of breakdown in the chronic illness community?
I think the only person who has a right to limit to and for whom a post is meant for is the original poster. A commenter or reblogger proclaiming that the post is only meant to be in relation to a specific group despite OP having not said anything does nothing but gatekeep and divide the community.
To be clear though, there is nothing wrong with making a post that is specifically and clearly aimed at one topic/group with the hopes of bringing attention to it. But there’s a difference between someone hijacking said post and someone who likes and reblogs it just because they understand and relate to it.
With that said, your experiences are still extremely valid. Reblog as much as you like!

#honestly i change my mind anout this atleast 5 times a month#but yeah it doesn't really matter if he did or not#it was more about bruces reaction and how he handled the situation#yadda yadda yadda#but no shut up just thought of a fun question#bc i do know alot of people tend to go the opposite direction#of he didn't#so im curious#if it was ever confirmed jason did kill him#like full flash back in a good jason book#would that change any thing for you
I generally don't think Jason shoved him, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did. Either way Jason didn't save him and to Bruce that's just as bad and why the answer to the question doesn't matter.
Which is why the issue after Filipe dies bothers me so much.
For those that don't know, because the next issue doesn't get talked about in fandom for some reason. The next issue starts with Bruce and Jason eating breakfast a couple days after Filipe died and Bruce is thinking to himself about how Filipe's death got marked as an accident, but he doesn't know if he can trust Jason anymore.
And then Batman gets word that Commissioner Gordon has been kidnapped by Filipe's Father who want revenge and is willing to do a hostage exchange Gordon for Robin.
Batman goes by himself to rescue Gordon, doesn't tell Jason anything, so Jason sneaks along. There's a fight some people die (including Filipe's father I think? IDK it's been a bit since I read this) And after all this, Bruce tells Jason all of these deaths are Jason;s fault and he needs to think more about the consequences of his actions. Implying that none of this would have happened if Jason hadn't killed Filipe.
But Bruce! If that is what you think happened, why did you have it marked as an accident? Covering it up makes you complicit and an accessory to murder. If you can;t trust Jason why do you continue to let him be Robin in the next issue? (technically the next issue is the start of Death in the Family and when Jason gets benched. But that isn't until after Jason has some field time as Robin and Bruce's stated reasons for benching him have nothing to do with Filipe.)
Batman is responsible for Robin. Robin can't be guilty of killing Filipe without Batman also being guilty, and the fact that no narrative acknowledges that fact frustrates me.
I know it doesn’t really matter but I’m curious on whether u think Jason killed Felipe Garzonas or not. I could go either way tbh.
He did it and he'd do it again I've got evidence can you see the evidence no but trust me I have it

Why I’m Blind and What I See
Someone asked: “How can you have functional color vision but not functional other types of vision? Does the color not create a sense of depth? Genuine question not trying to be rude or anything - sorry if it came off like that :/“
I would like to say that they’re not being rude (at least, not for me) because blindness is something I enjoy talking about and this blog exists to educate.
The question was first raised in someone else’s post asking for advice writing a colorblind character. However color perception is one of the few things my vision performs well in, and upon commenting on this in my tags, someone asked the question above. By the time I finished writing my answer it was quite long and to avoid hijacking OP’s post as well as make this accessible for everyone to read, I decided to make this its own post.
You can find OP’s post here asking how to write colorblind characters
So in this post I explain some reasons why someone might be blind but still have some functioning color vision, and then I discuss the three main causes of my blindness and how that personally affects me.
In the retina you have two kinds of photoreceptor cells: rod and cone cells. 
Cone cells pick up light from within the visible color spectrum while rod cells pick up light outside that spectrum. Cone cells have a higher population density in the center of your retina, making them responsible for your central vision. Cone cells pick up details of visual acuity. They work best in good lighting. 
Rod cells are responsible for your night vision because they perceive lower levels of light. Their population density is higher in the peripheral edges of your retina and makes up the majority of your peripheral vision. They are particularly good at tracking movement.
Of cone cells, there are two kinds of cells, one which manages red and green light perception, and one which manages yellow and blue light perception. Together they manage the full spectrum of color in between. There are a whole host of retina conditions one can experience but they all work differently and begin differently. For example, retinitis pigmentosa begins affecting the peripheral vision first, leading to tunnel vision. Macular degeneration affects the central vision first. The conditions experience different symptoms but there is overlap.
As for me personally, there are three major factors to my vision loss, but the primary cause is neurological.
I am nearsighted (myopia) and I experience exotropia. My exotropia is caused by weakened muscles around my eyes and for this reason my eyes don’t line up correctly and instead focus slightly outward, causing double vision. In my case it appears rather slight in that they only slightly don’t line up, so most people never notice. It doesn’t look like there’s anything wrong with my eyes unless you actually test it. The problem is that everything I see comes in two images that partially overlap rather than separating into two separate images with one in higher focus than the other. So imagine two Rs or two Us that are overlapping horizontally and why that might make reading an eye chart more difficult.
The problem was first discovered when I was 19 in an eye exam when my optometrist covered one eye and observed how my uncovered eye jumped slightly inward. Covering the other eye, it did the same. With special prisms in my glasses it forces and enables my eyes to work together better. However, I am very susceptible to eye strain from those weaker muscles. Exotropia also compromises my depth perception so that without correction I cannot see anything beyond thirty feet. A building thirty feet away from me and a mountain on the horizon look the same distance to me. Everything within that thirty feet is still slightly altered and inaccurate, but more manageable.
The primary cause of my vision loss however is a neurological condition called visual snow (or called snow vision sometimes). What’s happening is that my brain is processing the information my eyes have given me and decided that’s not enough and decided to add extra stimulation in the form of static. Imagine an old TV with a low quality screen that has a slight bit of static overlapping the image. That’s me on a good day, and then on my worst days it’s more like that TV has been left on with nothing to play and all I see is black and white static.
That static doesn’t actually exist, and yet I always see it. Because it depends on visual stimulation in my brain, it’s more active in lower lighting with more noticeable static that is blue instead of black and grey, where each grain is much larger than normal and the density of the static is higher and moving at a faster rate.
Because of the static I perform at 20/70 or worse on eye charts, and that is at my absolute best in both situational lighting and day to day health.
A diagnosis is very difficult to get. Because it’s neurological, the cause doesn’t show up in eye exams like cataracts, glaucoma, retina degeneration, and detached optic nerves do. Nor does it show up on brain imaging scans such as MRIs as studies have shown.
To be diagnosed with visual snow, you must experience visual static for three months without it being associated with migraines and experience at least two out of five sub-symptoms. Here is a link to learn more about symptoms.
I experience all five of those symptoms but my most severe is photophobia or light sensitivity. My brain is over processing light at an exponential rate to the point that I experience severe pain in bright lighting. Because of this, my day time vision looks like a white field with shapes and little more. This is day blindness and to manage it I wear extra dark sunglasses. Unfortunately I can’t have both visual correction and extra dark lenses, so I have to choose between debilitating pain and nothing but white fields with moving shapes, or no correction and mild pain with my visual field being more grey and black from the lenses with some shape and movement perception.
So indoor lighting is the absolute best for my vision, and therefore why I perform as visually impaired and not legally blind in eye exams. 20/70 with static interference and mild pain from light sources is the best I’ll ever get. Outside of that, in both daytime lighting and night time, I am beyond legally blind. But by legal law, the best situation and best correction is what my blindness will be measured at, not my how it impacts my daily living.
For that reason using technology, reading indoors, playing video games, and perceiving color are still things I can experience. But my depth perception, my light sensitivity, my visual acuity is still fucked. Because the cause is primarily neurological, the only tests I perform well on are medical imaging of my brain or eyes, and my color perception.
So that is more or less what I see and why I see it. If you have questions you can ask either in the comments or in my asks inbox.
This blog is dedicated to educating about blindness and how to write accurate blind characters. Included is other writing advice, writing memes with image descriptions, more specific asks raised on the subject, advice about school, and talking about mental health and disabilities outside of blindness.
