#sorry i just needed to rant and get this off my chest

[purpledemonlilyposting]

I'm gonna lose my mind with these anons.

Do Lily stans realise that screaming transphobia and transmisogyny at valid criticism is actually not good for the LGBTQ+ community and instead implies that minorities should get special treatment? There's fighting for equal rights, and then there's this.

Also if you were going after transwomen, you would've also attacked NikkieTutorials or Samantha Lux, but you don't because (to my knowledge) they are good people. And before any of Lily stans start saying you don't go after them, because they have a large following: firstly, they have a large following because they don't constantly bitch about everything and are sweethearts, secondly, you would absolutely go after someone shitty no matter the channel size.

It feels like listening to Dream stans but even worse, because you'd think their brain has developed enough to understand writing CP and incest is weird as shit and it should automatically get you a mental health evaluation.

Sorry for the long rant, I just needed to get his off my chest. Also, I think you're cool, and the fact that I disagree with you on a few things gives me the option to grow as a person. Keep being awesome :)

Guys look the internet thinks I'm cool!

That's the thing anon: I don't expect everybody to agree with me on every little thing, nor do I expect to agree with others on every little thing. That's part of being a functioning adult in society.

I just wanted to go after Lily's dogshit media takes in the beginning, now I'm mired in all of her bullshit. Patricia Taxxon's goupies came for my friend @crimsonender and I'm not going to just NOT point out that every single account is some gooner shit.

Maybe people should more be asking why they'll look the other way when someone is openly talking about being turned on by child rape just because they identify as transgender.

“The changes are what Rick wanted so if you don’t like it, it’s on you.” This is literally a reply on a comment that I left on a tiktok that was explaining what someone did and didn’t like about the latest pjo episode 🙄 Rick can’t even remember what happens in his own books and has been butchering his own characters since the creation of heroes of olympus, that’s not the comeback you think it is. When a show is marketed as a faithful adaptation when it is more accurately a rewrite, people have a right to criticize the show. You aren’t getting a gold medal for liking the show in its entirety. Get off your high horse and let people discuss the show

Look, I fucking like the TV shows I get into. I also, admittedly, tend to get a little parasocial with the actors. None of y'all knew me back when X Files was on the air, but back then I was only limited by the fact that social media and the internet (as we know it today) didn't exist.

BUT, Jesus, it is still all just a tv show. These things, with these particular people, aren't happening in real life. They don't even actually exist.

I can't imagine writing all the things these people wrote (without vomiting) and then forcing it on innocent people. I can't imagine commenting to actors with vitriol. (I can't say I've never commented on Lou or Kenny or Oliver's posts, but not with some BS. Usually some dumb lol comment)

All. Over. Something. That. Doesn't. Even. Exist.

Even if your ship "happens" and they get married and live happily ever after, it didn't actually happen.

And this is coming from someone who can hyperfixate with the best of them.

it’s the year of 2023 and we’re talking about harry potter reboot JUST LET THAT POOR WIZARD REST. aside from it ruining millions of people’s childhood core memories it will never be good…..and we don’t want to give that ginger hag more money

and i better not hear people say “they should do a marauders show instead” ABSOLUTELY NOT. imagine me walking in public saying yeah i’m a marauders fan and people’s first thought being oh that new hp subshow…..horrific. plus the marauders fandom build its entire base to absolute perfection it does not need to be ruined by what will be a garbage of a show.

Allow me to rant a second if you please 🙏 been sitting on this for a while now but the thing i need most for sonic movie 3 is for Sonic to grow into his game self a lil more, give me that unrelenting confidence and cockiness, I don't want Shadow constantly beating him into the ground (which i feel like is gonna happen anyways T-T) like what happened with knuckles, I don't want them all teaming up to fight Shadow coz he's too powerful or whatever, Sonic has never had trouble going one on one with Shadow before, Shadow very rarely beats Sonic in a fight, or it's at least a draw, it's also one of the big reasons Shadow has such an issue with Sonic, coz he can never properly beat him when he's supposed to be 'the ultimate lifeform' and it's honestly one of my fave things about their dynamic. I know movie Sonic is very different from game Sonic, he's a lot less experienced and all that and I love him dearly he's my precious bby boi but I think it's time for him to really start growing into that confident, super sure of himself, unrelenting hero that we all know and love. They really need to stop nerfing my boy, let him grow a little, it's His World after all ;)

what is it with teenage boys and acting like you're their favourite person one day, then disappearing the next?

just when i thought i didn't have tears left to cry cause of the past few days, jack and joker can still make me cry like this

[mirage-of-the-virtuoso]

Alright, I need input on something, just to get closure, and I feel like I am driving myself crazy over something that probably isn't that big of a deal. The reason why I make this poll under the cut:

Some time ago, like in the last year, year and a half maybe, I had joined a strike through lfg for OLC, and the only thing that the comm had listed was for the players to be experienced.

To me, experienced meant "knew the mechanics of the fight" and "unlikely to die if something got messed up via weirdly timed mechanics"

So I joined. This commander was complaining about people joining and ditching on the first wipe they got. Felt a little sketch, but I was still relatively new in terms of joining lfg for daily strikes. So I thought I was imagining things.

As someone who's still new and relatively inexperienced (and frankly horrible at build crafting), I thought just knowing the mechanics and following the commander should have been enough.

With this comm, apparently not.

The moment we started, they were demanding to know what my comp was in the middle of the fight. Maybe I just can't multitask in these types of games, but I cannot type and fight at the same time, because any moment spent typing is less dps I'm outputting. So I didn't respond.

I got told after we wiped that I should go back to the training tab in lfg (which, even if I agreed - which I didn't - no one was doing once a strike had been out for a couple of months, and therefore no chance of improvement otherwise, considering my schedule), and had rattled off numbers that I had zero knowledge of knowing. (According to what they were rattling off, I was apparently doing 3k dps on a very poorly built virtuoso, which I was quickly corrected by a trusted friend where the fault was. That's what happens when you put a soloist with no prior experience into endgame content, who also was unaware of certain etiquette with joining squads)

Am I crazy for blocking and reporting that person for being what I thought was misleading in their lfg post? Because, if experienced meant "must have a meta build" even though I barely had resources to even have ascended armor (which turned out to be the wrong stats), then not a lot of people are going to get the experience of endgame content like that (obviously in regards to people who want that experience)

Edit: for further clarity, this was for daily normal run OLC (priority strike that day I think), so idk why this comm was so worked up over a fairly new-ish player not being full meta 30-40k dps, esp someone who was never into endgame content before

Edit 2: Don't be afraid to tell me I'm in the wrong. I made this poll to get perspective for myself. I have since grown from this, and while it was a hard experience for me to go through, it was an important lesson for me - as a newer endgame player - to get a better understanding of the endgame community and the expectations

cressida's storyline was genuinely shameful tbhhh it's like they started rewriting it in the first half of the season then completely forgot about the changes they'd made to make it fit the book plot and it just ends up making everyone else look bad😐 every character in the second half got a "penelope did nothing wrong" lobotomy so we ended up with eloise completely ignoring cressida being sold off to an horrible man (when she made every effort to support her in the first half of the season) and for some reason resenting her for pretending to be lady whistledown? Then they somehow frame her ignoring colin's offensively bad pleas as it being her turning away from redemption when all she's trying to do is escape being trapped in the country with her likely abusive aunt... and it ends with her meeting her horrible fate and it still being framed as tragic only to immediately juxtapose it with the bridgerton family winning the idgaf war while gleefully seeing off francesca and her future dead husband. The bridgertons were the villains of the season frfr

That's it. I can't take it anymore.

I'm gonna say it.

Might get a bit of backlash from saying this. But I don't care. I'm tired of keeping this to myself.

I love these two. They're some of my favorite EXEs.

I'm so tired of all the hate that these two get.

If you don't like these two, that is completely fine. If you don't care for their creator due to the past allegations/drama. That is ALSO completely fine.

But the majority of the hate that these two get can be summed down to the following things;

1: Both of them are trans (Curse (left) is a trans man, NormalCD (right) is a trans woman)

2: Curse is a femboy

3: NormalCD is plus sized

Like, just say you're a bigot and go away. Don't make it everyone else's problem. Don't act like those parts of their characters are their entire character. That is not the case, that's just what you've made yourself believe cuz you're big dumb.

(also, let's not forget, the OG Sonic.exe canonically has a romantic obssesion for Sonic. LGBTQ+ EXEs are NOT and have NEVER BEEN out of the ordinary.)

And don't make the excuse "oH tHeY'rE nOt ScArY sO tHeY cAn'T bE eXeS sO tHaT mEaNs ThEy sUcK"

There are PLENTY of EXEs that (intentionally or unintentionally) aren't scary (I mean have you even READ the original Sonic.exe creepypasta????)

So no. They are EXEs. And they're some of my favorites. In a fanbase where the majority of characters created are either a Lord X, Faker, or NeedleM0use clone (and this is coming from someone who absolutely adores those 3, mind you), these two are some of the most original creations to come from the fanbase, and I love them so much.

Once again - say it with me now-

YOU 👏 ARE 👏 ALLOWED 👏 TO 👏 DISLIKE 👏 THEM 👏 AND 👏 HAVE 👏 YOUR 👏 OWN 👏 OPINION 👏

Just don't use your irrational hatred towards minorities as a justification for your disliking of them, okay? Okay. :)

Thank you for coming to my TED talk /j

Me: complaining on the internet can get unhealthy fast. Focus on praising and analyzing the things you like instead of ranting!

Also me: what the actual hell is Pariah Nexus doing with this stupid Power of Faith nonsense? I hate it. I hate it so much. Why does "faith" overcome the stilling effects of the pylon network? When psyker abilities specifically do not work because the pylons cut off the warp the thing that makes the magic work?? It makes sense on exactly zero levels. In-universe, so-called miracles are specifically called out as being manifestations of psyker abilities/mass acts of will influencing the warp. This is the entire freaking point! The religious zealots with their "miracles" are exactly the same as the "witches" they are hunting. WHY IS FAITH SUDDENLY A DIFFERENT SUPER POWER? Why are you undermining one of the most significant thematic through-lines of the Imperium with this bible camp bullshit? How can you be a critique of theocratic fascism and religious dogma when no actually the religious fanaticism works and is gonna save the day! In a way that literally contradicts how the setting works on a metaphysical level. Because the big scary godless robots just don't understand the power of believing in golden sky daddy! THANKS I HATE IT

Like yes I realize fictional others are just that — fictional. But often times the feelings FOR them are often so real that seeing other people ship with them can at best sting a bit or at worst make someone completely spiral.

If you’re comfortable sharing, that’s fine! However, that’s not to say you should look down on others who’re non-sharing, who often times do so just for the sake of peace of mind. You shouldn’t belittle people who dislike sharing or imply they have to share because that’ll be a better option for them. And furthermore, if you have opinions like that, for the love of God don’t voice those concerns publicly where potentially, your non-sharing friends can see it and feel like you’re badmouthing them.

I’m not saying you should immediately worship the ground non-sharers walk on. People can agree to disagree, but even if you don’t understand someone’s beliefs or feelings, you should at least respect it, so long as it isn’t harming anyone. I don’t know how that’s so hard to understand

OK so. I need to say. I have to say it because it's been bothering me since like. What. wtnv 229, but that whole Blake plot? Sucked. He was stuck up and a suckup. But then suddenly he just. Changed??? And we literally see none of it??? He's horrible to Carlos one episode, explaining Michelle another, and then the next he's just like "ohhhh boohooo lubelle is scarrrryyy i like night vale now :(" Like. Where did this come from. Finknor. Where the fuck did any of this come from. It would've helped a whole fucking lot if there was. Any indication of this change but there, literally wasn't??? Unless you count the whole Blake calling Cecil out of the station thing??? But like. Gragh. They shouldn't have rushed that arc, it needed to have been paced better, hell they could've made it last two years for better pacing but. here we are.

[risetherivermoon]

uhhh yk people are allowed to be upset about people doing something bad right- like, just because its a mistake or something doesn't mean it isn't something you cant be upset about? im sorry im not expecting someone to say something shitty???

god im so fucking tired of the internet, its okay to be sensitive and hurt over things people you like/people who make content you enjoy do, it doesn't mean you were idolizing and putting someone on a pedestal,

yeah they're real people who make mistakes, mistakes can still be damaging and learning from your mistakes requires being told they were mistakes,

and im sorry other peoples feelings are different from yours and some are more affected by a situation than you are, especially when the thing someone says is actually an attack against a minority you are a part of

we're not blowing things out of proportion, we're people who were hurt by something, just as the creator is a person who made a mistake,

people on the internet stop invalidating each others feelings challenge

Okay, so I’m nearing the end of S5 in my latest AOS rewatch, and I saw a few tiktoks, and I just wanna sorta rant for a second.

I may be a massive Daisy stan above literally all else, wbk she’s my best girl… but I believe that Yo-Yo was in the right to kill Ruby Hale. Period.

Firstly, I know revenge isn’t the SHIELD way, I get that, but at the very same time there is so much hypocrisy there surrounding other team members (eg. Coulson had his revenge on Ward, Jemma ALSO tried to get revenge on Ward but failed, Hunter as well, even May was intent on it, etc) so why shouldn’t Yo-Yo also get to have her revenge? Ruby left her disabled for life (and did it on purpose + showed no resentment + would do it again, might I ADD, by literally repeatedly threatening Fitzsimmons with the very same thing). Yo-Yo deserved vengeance, in some way.

I understand Daisy’s motive in wanting to save Ruby, to bring her on as a SHIELD agent and try to give her a new purpose, the same way she was/had- but this never could have happened. SHE CUT YO-YO’S ARMS OFF- DISABLING HER. Allowing her to become a SHIELD agent after this fact would be just as bad as welcoming Ward back onto the team with open arms after what he did to Fitz- which left him with a permanent disability in return too (in a different way but obv similar to Yo-Yo nonetheless). Both Ruby and Ward were HYDRA. Both significantly hurt a team member on PURPOSE. It’s the same deal. Bringing her onto the team would’ve been wrong.

Finally, Daisy claimed Ruby was “coming around” just before Yo-Yo killed her. Daisy, ilysm, but girl. 😭 Ruby literally tried to kill Daisy moments earlier, as well as throw inanimate objects (and Fitzsimmons…) around the room with her mind. She killed Werner by accident (which shows the serious lack of control she had- and how dangerous she was in that moment), not to mention she was refusing to be reasoned with (and couldn’t be). She was completely out of control and it wasn’t going to get better (look at what happened to Creel after he merely touched the Gravitonium- he never improved).

In a way, Yo-Yo did her a favour by killing her. Even if another solution came along in time, Yo-Yo, as the others would regularly say, MADE THE HARD CALL. She did what was best in that moment. Not to mention, Yo-Yo also thought that by killing her, she saved the world. Although this proved false, at the time she thought she was doing the right thing to save all of literal humanity. As I said, in the end, she made the hard call.

Not to mention, Yo-Yo admitted that she’s not proud of what she did. It’s not like she enjoyed killing her. Yet, so many people make her out to be some monster. I hate it.

In conclusion, I’m on Yo-Yo’s side with that whole thing (and hate seeing people- and the team themselves- giving her absolute hell for it). However I truly flip-flop between all the characters during S5 and their many arguments. MAN, that season is always a tough watch for so, so many reasons. It’s good, but painful.

(P.S. I’m convinced most of the people who stan Ruby are just Dove Cameron fans. Which I have nothing against. You do you. 11 year old me was her biggest fan frfr. But other than that, I don’t see why people like her character so much tbh. But alas.)
