#that’s how pervasive this shit is

This is absolutely not a callout post on the user who said this, it’s a criticism of the state of the gaming industry, full stop. But somebody reblogged one of my The Evil Within posts a little while ago where I said I didn’t fully understand what had actually happened, and they put in the tags that I should play the dlc. And I was actually in the PS app looking at the dlc, trying to decide if I really wanted to spend the money, when I realized what the fuck I was doing

I am SO SICK of publishers releasing un-fucking-finished games and then hiding critical story elements behind fucking paywalls. I should not have to buy goddamn dlc to understand a game. Paid dlc shouldn’t even be a fucking thing if I’m being completely honest, but especially not shit like that. Ugh.

I used to have a really hard time bringing up the fact that I graduated from high school a year late without feeling the need to explain why and insisting that it wasn't my fault while simultaneously kicking myself for how much I sounded like I was just making excuses for something I should take responsibility for.

Then I watched Dimension 20's "The Seven" and suddenly I could simply say that I was a super senior.

The first time I heard the phrase "super senior" was in reference to Antiope Jones, a Black girl who had been held back a year after getting kidnapped and imprisoned by members of a fundamentalist cult, and like, girl, same.

So, since then, instead of anxiously spinning out any time I tried to tell a personal high school anecdote, I could just say I was a super senior, and then my brain would auto complete that statement with "like Antiope Jones" and I'd feel good about myself because Antiope Jones Is That Bitch.

That's what the problem had been the whole time. I wasn't worried about how other people would perceive me; I had been struggling with how I perceived myself.

Thanks, Aabria.

....idk in a fandom this gigantic how are people already coalescing onto a handful of popular headcanons and scenarios that just become the baseline now, when the source material gives us literally limitless possibilities to work with

it's really funny when I see a post about someone's personal experience with a mental disorder that shits on, fakeclaims or demonizes a different experience with the same disorder, only to check their blog and find that they are, unsurprisingly, anti endo. crazy how the two relate. wild how ableism against atypical trauma survivors/disabled individuals generalizes itself when allowed to fester.

see this misconception happen way too often, but. guys. luis isn't (necessarily) white. no, seriously; fnaf ar states his full name is luis cabrera, which is a real place:

it's part of the balearic islands, an archipelago forming an autonomous community off the coast of spain. this makes it a toponymic surname, a family name derived from a location -- which implies that luis' family were (at some point) from the island of cabrera, the very real place in -- say it with me -- spain. funnily enough, 'luis' is also the spanish form of the given name 'louis'.

while i'll leave debating the whiteness of hispanic people up to the americans in the audience, if a guy's name is spanish mcspanish, well... i think they might be implying something about his ethnicity, guys! just a hunch. (and maybe a sign you should stop and think about why you assumed he was white in the first place?)

i don't have social anxiety I just think I deserve to be sentenced to death for existing in public / social spaces. These are completely different issues. unironically

re last reblog i feel like so much of tumblrs or rather fandoms obsession with like unhealthy dynamics in romantic relationships and especially the obsession with defining love as something that can be consuming and dangerous and toxic, something that can harm you because its too intense and too passionate or whatever else, and finding that to be poetic or meaningful in a unique way stems from like. two things. 1. not recognizing that the abuse theyve endured in the name of love (could be from anyone, including parents, friends, even teachers, etc.) was actually abuse (and perpetuating the idea that it isnt by openly romanticizing it) or 2. never having been in the situations theyre describing themselves, so it has a certain charm or allure or mystery to it and they're treating it as something to ponder from a safe distance, rather than the incredibly banal sort of everyday evil that it actually is. anyway my point with all this is that i dont have time for this shit 👍

the concept of "irredeemable media" is so creepy ... a complete hollowing out of nuanced and specific criticisms in favor of a list of elements art shouldn't touch will beget an audience that hasn't learned how to recognize propaganda and implicit bias in the art they love. this is also how we get people who are only capable of interacting with real violence through fictional metaphors. it's easier to say that something is bad than it is to recognize how, which requires actual confrontation with your own part in upholding these ideas. plus the whole thing is just boring and silly ... if you close the laptop all your enemies will disappear, but the beliefs present in the art on your dni list will still exist. are you able to combat them? do you even know what they are?

comics also beat you over the head with the themes nowadays. you dont get subtlety or ambiguity. batman comics used to be somber and noir-like. now theyre funny and feel-good and nothing about the stories stick to you and live in your head like long halloween/dark victory or murderer/fugitive-type stories do

seeing a lot of christian instagram reels has mainly just taught me that the average american christian's beliefs are literally worse than those of the small minority of jews who are right-wing and orthodox and whom people love to sensationalize

i am so so so so so so tired of the jeremiah hate now that the trailer for the summer i turned pretty season two is out. SO MUCH of it is calling him a fuckboy/cheater etc. and that pisses me off considering jeremiah is one of literally TWO bisexual characters in the show & the only queer main character. it was already a Choice to make jeremiah (a character who in the books cheats on belly) a bisexual character for the TV adaptation, which i am somewhat glad for as we need more mainstream LGBTQ & bisexual representation. but people have GOT to understand that this is a subject that needs to be treated with delicacy and grace that jenny han has not given jere’s character & the people watching this show CERTAINLY don’t. it says a lot that they are calling him a fuckboy and a cheater when so far in the show, belly is the one who cheated on him. idk. i am very protective of him as a bisexual person and seeing others spewing this vitriol makes me so angry.

This small figure of a devil incorporated into a solid glass prism was originally in the collection of Archduke Leopold Wilhelm (1614– 1662); the 1659 inventory lists it as a small square glass, with a pointed top, that contains a black figure in the shape of a devil.

By 1720 it was in the Treasury in Vienna and was described as a spiritus familiaris in a glass that was driven out of one possessed and banned to this glass. In the Middle Ages it was widely believed that the Devil could take possession of a human body. This artefact was regarded as evidence of a successful exorcism.

A tiny devil vitrified in a prism of glass. In the 18th century, the Imperial Treasury of Vienna attested that this was a real demon which had been trapped in glass during an exorcism in Germany a century earlier. ⁣From the Kunsthistorisches Museum Collection, Vienna.⁣
