Every time i think abt robin!jason being betrayed by his mom i cry actual real jesus tears. I could have parented him :(

I think about it so frequently ive genuinely started plotting a reader insert fic where reader takes the place of sheila and jason gets to reunite with a mom who actually Loves Him. Would anyone read that??? Is anyone reading this????? Hello jaybin nation?????

Hi!

What's your favourite Disney movie? And does your preference for the dorms have any influence on their movies and vice versa? Like I know you love Diasomnia so is Sleeping Beauty high up there for you?

I'm just asking because Snow White is actually my favourite Disney Princess and her movie is my favourite yet Pomefiore is my least favourite dorm (but Lion King and Savanaclaw are both in my top two) and I was wondering if it's similar for you?

yessss someone else whose favorite princess is Snow! ❄️

that said, it's hard to say what my favorite movie is, because I'm one of those annoying people who's like "well it depends" (on different aspects, on my mood, on the phase of the moon, etc). though out of the ones represented in Twst, I think it probably is Sleeping Beauty! I think it's really pretty and just a delightful movie! it hits a nice sweet spot for me of being kind of...gently grounded while still having that floaty-fairytale feeling, if that makes sense also I might have had a huge villaincrush on Maleficent that is being massively projected onto Meleanor, shh

although I actually sort of hated Diasomnia at first (l-look, they didn't have cards at first and all we had to go on were the website descriptions that make everyone sound horrible). so I dunno, maybe the influence helped win me over to them! or maybe just because, like everything else in Twst, they were unexpectedly enjoyable in practice?

(I don't think there are any that had a negative influence either, because I am also one of those annoying people who's like "well I don't have a least favorite, I like everybody!") (sob. it's true though.) (I just, I just love characters so much --)

Validating to actually experience this utter shitfuck take with my own two eyes, add it to the list. Someone @ rainystudios or one of their mutuals so if they want they can add this one to the archives cause this is literally exactly what they had been talking about.

i do not enjoy harry potter anymore and even when i did, snape was not a character i ever liked, but for some reason my ‘for you’ page is just full of dedicated snape stan accounts and i hate it

The plight of fictional mothers is something that will always stick out to me. Like either you die for the plot or you are forgotten by it. Fathers are something to be chased after a mystery to be solved. Mothers are a blimp that was once there and is now simply not.

She has no identity outside of mother sometimes barely even a name.

i fear i am endlessly predictable (writing new dps au which is once again fantasy with Arthurian elements)

[trans-xianxian]

very ironic that there have been several story beats throughout fontaine like "the melusines are often infantalized by people but they are fully autonomous beings who deserve respect" and then half of the fan base is like awe cute little melusine baby who is like a child and a kid and a baby who needs to be taken care of by other characters because they're like a human toddler 🥺. die.

Okay so apparently the only way a character can be autistic coded is if they're stated to be autistic in canon, and I, an autistic person, can't possibly make an observation that a character might have autism because I'm not a physiologist? Cool

I just finished watching season two of bridgerton which was PHENOMENAL, but my roommates got me started on Queen charlotte before starting season three annnnnd. hm. It’s very interesting to see a character show tics on screen, especially as I, a viewer, was actively trying and failing to suppress tics while watching the show. no real thoughts on that (in a few too many whisker shots for that rn) but thought it a weird and odd experience. I don’t think I’ve ever seen tics displayed in media before ?

Tumblr sorta needs a 'Mute' feature in my opinion. Like what if I don't want to block this user, what if I don't want to become enemies and in some days I'd like to interact. But also most of the time seeing how they avidly encourage everyone else whereas I get the passive-aggressive 'oh yeah very uhh... interesting... (please leave me alone I don't like your art lol)' makes me want to unfollow every single fan of these characters and never draw them again.

I remember two years ago the exact same thing happened when someone liked the same character and the same ship and I swear I was the only person in the fandom they bluntly left out and could not spare a single good word for. I can't even blame this on my art being "ugly" because this type of user always aggressively praises all art styles and all levels of skill, it feels more like 'a personal thing except we never fought a single time'. And now my toxic trait of needing approval from [cool person name] is back to haunt me years later! Add the unability to "abandon" this character/ship/whatever despite wanting to after facing so much unspoken passive spite, because I am a contrarian and the best way to trap me into doing something is to try to exclude me from it. I didn't face attempts to very aggressively bully me out of the yard/class/community/etc, sometimes with physical violence included, only to let something mid like passive aggression online finally do it.

I am really stupid and naive person despite my age, but in like 5% of the cases I will still understand the hint and understand what is going on. Yet I have to pretend to be clueless even in rare situations when I know someone hates me, because since they never admitted it, quitting will be perceived as me being "paranoid". But dear goooood, it hurts sometimes. I hope that one day I will be numbed to being treated as a tumor on an otherwise healthy body of society that someone is dying to amputate- and always a person whose approval I want, of all people. Knowing that this day will come is one of the things that keep me going as both a person and a creator. Things like viruses and diseases still try their best to persist, so even if I am actually one, I should persist. It doesn't matter whether I actually rot everything around me or this is just my self-depreciating delusion upon focusing on people that mistreated me and not people that loved me. What matters is persisting, I just still feel angry that it hurts. I can't respond spite with spite or passive aggression with passive aggression, I can't do the 'smug asshole' when I become aware that someone tries to starve me until I "die". I can just fall over and cry about it like a kicked dog, despite being so old, especially when it is a person I didn't have anything against.

And really.. It is as simple as turning the internet off, so I don't see The Person and can focus on doing stuff that I like, as if they never existed and can't crash my self-esteem. It is just annoying to keep doing this, a feature to not see them unless I am in the mood would be better. Like.. blocking is not an option. Not only it implies being enemies which is not my intention, but also it will be like an "evidence" that I was "crazy". They didn't do anything, right? Well, they know what they did, but it was never verbal, so it is my fault I "imagined things", right?

I'm starting to think the reason I'm not as good of a writer as I want to be is because I like writing more than I like reading.

[cuntylittlesalmon]

i’m finding it really hard to take more media discourse seriously right now because a lot of it tends to be hinder by emotional fragility. the “if something make me feel this type of way (namely the escapist, or the horny) it is inherently above criticism, and any attempts to critique (even if said critique is coming from a place of endearment) is an attack on my morality” stuff.

[millionyearhearts]

if i see ONE (1) more person call a friendship/dynamic with a slight age gap a "parent and child relationship" im going to HAVE A TANTRUM !!!!! i hate the idea of a person being friends/acquaintances/coworkers with someone only like 3 or 4 years older than them and is unironically like "haha ur my mom/dad goo goo ga ga" STOP WITH THE PARENTIFICATION OF FRIENDSHIPS!!!!!

[agnesandhilda]

while I’m on the topic of the orestia my OFFICIAL Iphigenia Take is that I think agamemnon was wrong, and I don’t consider the question of whether or not agamemnon had to kill her for some broader geopolitical reason relevant to the issue. no matter what his justification was, he still had his daughter killed so he could go to war, and---maybe it’s just the translation I read (the ted hughes version), though every translation is gonna handle key scenes differently so there’s naturally some iffiness there---my reading of that is that this is because he prioritizes his ability to claim power for himself and assert his status as a man over iphigenia’s life. he’s upset about it, but to me that makes him look worse. like, “woe is me, I’ve got to kill you so I can plunder this city and enslave the people living there, because I’d rather have that than your life.” if he knows it’s wrong, if he’s torn-up about it, then him having iphigenia killed anyway so he can do violence to the people of troy just makes him look worse! it makes me angrier with him, honestly.

skinning the children for a war drum or whatever idk I’m not a hozier fan

The days of creating amazing and creative dinosaur OCs with nowhere to show them off to is over! We're celebrating the new year by bringing back some old friends from the Mesozoic in this brand new prehistoric roleplay server, free from the Jurassic Park cliches and humans in general. Here, you can go wild in a speculative alternate-earth timeline that allows the three eras of the Mesozoic to exist simultaneously, alongside the implications of what dinosaurs with human level intelligence could mean for the world at large, and how different life could've been if the K-Pg extinction never happened, and by extension if mammals had never rose to dominance.

At the Extinction Boundary, you can explore custom-made lore and help forge this vast world of endless prehistoric possibilities, create unique characters, and invest in captivating plotlines that surpass the limits of mere survival alongside a community of other dedicated roleplayers and Queer/Transgender staff!

At Extinction Boundary, we offer:

A realistic RP that fuses realism and fantasy with a wide range of styles including paragraph, semi-paragraph, and script/banter, so you can roleplay however you are most comfortable

Extensively developed and open-ended worldbuilding, so there is always something to do or someplace to explore, with lore that is influenced by community contributions

No limits or quotas on word count, activity, or character count. Roleplay as much or as little as you want, no penalty!

An easy-to-use, optional stats and dice-rolling system for fair play and realistic combat

A polished server with useful bots, beta testing for quality assurance, and attention to detail put into its organization for a streamlined and user-friendly experience

An abundance of custom aspects, including hand-drawn emojis, maps, color roles, server icon, and more

Social aspects like voice, art, and gaming chats, as well as movie nights and other events

Not interested in roleplay? Join us anyways to share artwork and OCs and a love for all things prehistoric! This server is a work of original fiction and as such may not accurately reflect all elements of the real life Mesozoic. Keep an open mind for some fantastical creative liberties that keep the world grounded yet exciting! We look forward to crossing the boundaries of extinction with you! Extinction Boundary Discord Link
