I am genuinely so worried for all the young horny dykes going into adulthood thinking there's something "problematic" / "wrong" with them for being horny because fucking tiktok lesbians think any horny dyke content is "male gaze fetishistic"

y'know what really sucks about society?

growing up as a kid (not realizing i was autistic) was in hindsight such a pain and exhausting, etc. like, it's so funny (sad) how i could simultaneously want desperately to make friends and also not give a damn shit because most ppl in school were extremely fake and i didn't want to waste time socializing with someone who really doesn't care about me. i never really had a problem with school, but it also wasn't really a good experience either, y'know?

so now, i, living in a society that constantly puts neurodivervent ppl at a disadvantage, find myself with no real connections or friends that i can rely on when i feel the need for them most (not including my best friends whom i've met online. but it's not like i can meet them irl y'know?)

so anyways. having been isolated from society as a whole, i now find myself stuck living with two emotionally abusive parents, one of which i have been repeatedly taught by society that i should be helping, lest i be a terrible person (she is my mother. she is physically disabled. and i am her caregiver.)

even when i find the mental strength to disregard society's unwritten obligations, i am unable to. i grew up without a stable support system. i live in a society; in a city where affordability is shit and i could never afford to live anywhere on my own if i wanted to. i have been actively seeking out a job that actually gives me more hours for over a year now. everyone competes for the same jobs. i continue getting job interviews. they always pass me up for someone else (even when i am more than qualified enough. and let's be real, it's probably because i am neurodivervent. even if i don't disclose that.)

i have three friends i know irl. one of them lives far away from me. one of them i haven't spoken to since high school. the third lives in the basement of a house the next city over with her husband and is expecting her third child. even if i wanted to, i couldn't stay with her. there isn't even enough space for me if i tried.

so i stay. i continue to retraumatize myself over and over. because i know it's my best opinion. if i left, i would live underneath a tree.

how is it that i can live in a country where i can simultaneously be privileged but also not really have anything? (i am a neurodivervent, gender nonconforming person of color. society would view me as a woman. i do not fit even close into the average clothing size. in a society that already is flawed. where the majority of people would probably classify as poor given the accelerated rate of inflation, etc.)

i feel that it's important to note, that i don't even live in the united states (since i'm sure a lot of people assume. heck, i assume a lot of the time that people are lol)

i also feel that i should say i'm not fishing for compliments or sympathy. i know that, despite everything, i am still privileged. i am just trying to find a way to express how i feel regardless of society trying to silence me.

thank you for coming to my ted talk. (lol)

The fun thing about COD is that everyone who calls the 141 and every other operator their precious little mew mew skrunkly is fully aware that Soap once used an enemy soldier as a meat shield, Price responded to a barricade by attempting vehicular manslaughter, Gaz saw one terrorist attack and decided going feral was an option that should be on the table, and Ghost is, well, Ghost.

They know their little mew mews are war criminals and they do not care.

Enough random notes that have a written story on them as environmental storytelling, explore the space, get crazier with it.

You move into a house and aw cute, it has the kids height on the walls but you notice there's a three foot difference in height between measurements, you check the date, they're a month apart. The final measurement is on the ceiling. It's dated two days ago.

You're part of a recovery team that have finally found a stranded ship, they were found too late and have all passed a long time ago. They all died of starvation. You enter their storeroom, it's filled with food. In the dining hall you find the tables laden with perfectly fine looking breads, cakes, cured meats, jams, candies. Your medic says all the people sitting at the table didn't eat a Thing.

You wake up in an apocalypse. You can't find anyone at all as you wander the streets but you do hear faint music playing from somewhere. You stumble into a supermarket, to see all the aisles still full, except for the shelf that was full of ear plugs, which look to be the only thing that was looted.

Like there's light, sound, props. Having a street where every house is decimated except for One. Landing on a planet known for having No Water and a plant is growing and you don't know where it could have possibly gotten moisture from but you can't find the citizens Anywhere.

I'm sorry, I'm just kinda over the "graffiti on the wall to show the bad guy is around". That's not environmental storytelling that's just normal story. Show me I'm in the villains territory by the rain suddenly cutting out above me as I'm driving, even though it's meant to be raining all night. I park the car and step out, and realise the constellations are Wrong, until I see they're Not constellations, they're the blinking lights of a massive ship-

I Will stop now because everytime I go to write a sentence it devolves into another prompt but I'm just saying we have a Lot of senses, engage them, show me the Environment in environmental storytelling.

i'm one hundred percent certain that after percy and annabeth made out underwater. and he wanted to make their relationship official. the question was not "will you be my girlfriend?" but "can i be your boyfriend?" i don't care what the canon says. percy gave annabeth the space to take the lead in the relationship. because after a lifetime of being abandoned by everyone she dared to care for. and then watching her on the brink of a panic attack at the thought of losing him the last four years. he wanted to honor a new beginning between them by follow her lead and moving at her pace.

One of my favourite aspects in the season 2 of Heartstopper is how unapologetically intolerant everyone is towards homophobia. Like.

Harry showing up at Tara's birthday party and Charlie shutting the door in his face despite that apology.

Nick freely calling out his brother's biphobic behavior. Tori literally sinking her nails in David's arm when he was mocking Charlie and Nick and planning to out them.

It's so refreshing. There's no moment where someone asks Charlie or Nick to be the "bigger people" and forgive anyone who undermined, mocked, dismissed, and harassed them for their identity.

Because that shit shouldn't be tolerated ever and it's not acceptable. Queer people aren't here to be your redemption arc.

I think it's really interesting how dsmp as a narrative forces you to sympathize with even the most morally corrupt by making you live through the event from their perspective...except for cDream. you almost never get to see the story from his eyes, and when you do, it, doesn't help his case. you don't know what he's thinking, you don't know what he's planning, and you most of all cannot tell how the story affects him personally. (at least with the same ease you can with the other characters) there's no sympathetic bond there like there is with anyone who you have watched the pov of. he was made to be a villain from the start and his lack of point of view is just one of the ways the story alienates you from him, making you see him as an 'other'.

like his lack of morals and ruthlessness while intimidating isn't exactly, unheard of, you could argue cSchlatt can be pretty hard to sympathize towards, but the fact that you still get to see from his pov is so so important to how you view him. cDream at times feels almost unreachable, this distant but very real threat that hangs over pretty much everyone, and I truly believe a lot of that oppressive dread would not be as strong in those key moments if you were looking at the situation from his eyes. god I love the little details of this story sm.

"omg how dare you like my post?! Why didn't you click on my profile and click the link to my cardd and then click the dni section and scroll down the whole thing???? Now I have to inconvenience myself by clicking the block button!"

Fyi liking and reposting shouldn't count as dni to begin with

Dni should be specifically for interactions such as messaging or attempting to befriend, unless it's like, a minor liking and reposting nsfw

I don't give a fuck if someone likes or reblogs my stuff, but don't fucking message me if I say not to

This especially applies to the really bullshit stuff on dnis that's like "don't interact if you like this thing!!!"

Me liking something should not determine whether or not I can like a post, like, that's so fucking stupid it's insane

Are you that much of a whiny baby that you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you?

Sometimes people like that stupid anime you don't like

Sometimes people like that romance book you think is weird and gross

Sometimes people watch stuff with jokes you think are unfunny or in poor taste

Sometimes people write shit and draw stuff you don't like

That doesn't mean they have to avoid you

If something bothers you, you have to take care of it

It's your responsibility to manage your triggers and squicks in the wide sea of the internet

I shouldn't have to comb through your account before I like a silly meme to make sure you won't witch hunt me

most annoying breed of author is actually someone who doesn’t respect a genre and sets out to subvert it.

[theladystrikesagain]

how does a show released in 2024 fail harder in showcasing fully rounded female characters with flaws and strengths and rich personalities than a cartoon from the 2000s. why has television & film legitimately regressed across the years when it comes to showing women as human beings lmao

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload

We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.

I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over

It physically hurts my brain.

the thing about antisemitism that offends me the most (outside of, you know, horrific violence) is the sense of *ownership* over judaism from non-jewish, especially (in my experience) christian, society. it’s the evangelicals holding seders and the atheists casually joking about “YHWH”. it’s the sense that to them, jews are nothing but a prequel. we are irrelevant, and therefore in the public domain. in more overt examples, it’s holocaust inversion and jokes about “the goyim”. they look at us and say, “all that was yours now belongs to me.” it’s the assumption that our life and culture is open to all, and that we are somehow greedy by not letting them have it.

when we do exist to christian society, it’s as a means to an end: “good thing the jews are still around, otherwise how would they all be gathered in zion?”, or its being treated as a relic, as living replicas of the Old Times: “those silly jews, they’re stuck living in the past!”

it’s dehumanizing, and frustrating, and i hate it.

we had avraham first. we had yaakov and sarai and it is. still. ours. you shouldn’t get to pretend like we don’t exist anymore. we aren’t extinct, no matter how hard some people wished we were, and that isn’t going to change.
