#the response is so extremely different

i saw the post about gif plagiarism you made and wanted to extend my support to you. it's really sad to see and you've been such a staple of the gaming gifmaking community on here for such a long time thaat i really hope it doesn't discourage or ruin gifmaking for you. like you're genuinely a wonderful part of the community and it is a blessing to have you around. i hope you're doing alright

thank you so much for your very, very kind message! i truly do appreciate it.

i'm doing much better after finally putting it all out there - it ate away at me for months as some of my friends can attest to - and, though i was initially very anxious since the early responses by a handful people weren't... great, with the plagiarism that was being perpetuated over months being twisted into something it was never about (gatekeeping, claiming characters, etc.) for their own reasons and biases, and being mocked or even dismissed, it was good to see just how many people ultimately supported the creators affected, including myself, as time went on.

overall, in the aftermath of everything, i haven't felt such a sense of community in a long time on this site and i'm extremely grateful to the people, who supported me through this, be it via discord, messages, asks, rbs or replies to my post.

🖤

Letting your business partner pretend you're abusing him so you can con the living daylights out of foreign diplomats that you kept waiting for nearly three hours is crazy. And to rub it in by planning a skit where you bring him iced coffee and he complains about it? Iconic showstopping never seen before this is EVEN BETTER than the little show they put on for Taewon which was one of my favorite jinjae moments truly I feel like I just received a surprise custom-made cake after ordering a custom-made cupcake

tbh, one of the things I can't wait to be over with this campaign is the idea that any real person's engagement with feminism is somehow tethered to whether or not/how much they like imogen and laudna (and additionally, having the concept of lesbophobia attached to whether you enjoy the ship between them). i feel like every single time there's been a word of criticism about their behavior or development, it's immediately been met with a cry (in certain circles) that anyone being critical isn't feminist and doesn't support sapphic relationships, which has been a WILD experience on my end as a stan blog for a female character who has notable sapphic ships. but none of that has mattered in the wake of these two SPECIFIC characters. like they're the linchpins of feminism and all sapphics around the world, and to dislike or even just be mildly critical of them proves you have disavowed your rights to be a feminist. or queer yourself. if i am eager for ANYTHING to be over, it is that

genuine question, how do you plan on continuing to afford your apartment in vancouver if none of you can work consistently?

???? we are on disability assistance, it says that in the post. we all get paid by the government like $1400 a month due to our disabilities making us unable to work. thats how government assistance functions.

which is NOT enough to live alone in vancouver at all, and all the resources we tried using have rlly long waiting lists. the waiting lists for an advocate ARE shorter if ur indigenous, but its still a few months wait just to get an appointment with an advocate. crowdfunding is literally ALWAYS my last resort.

which is WHY we are moving out together, and why we need assistance with security deposit and travelling costs. its easier to live with other folks

we're looking for a cheap basement suite/upper level house suite. the CHEAPEST shared house suites in vancouver/surrey/langley are around $2100 to $2500.

even if we have to pay more rent when we move out itll be better being more broke than continuing to live with the woman that trafficked me since i was an infant and groomed most of my friends lmao

decided to bring hatred into the fandom today. thinking about kit thinking somethings wrong with him/that he doesn’t truly care about people as much as others because he couldn’t imagine doing something like necromancy to bring any of his losses back

chapter 4 is kinda the "ah there he goes Komaeda is now mean to everyone" chapter but its focus characters are basically the perfect counter to Komaeda's approach to life and death and therefore extremely fitting setup for Komaeda's death the next chapter.

Nidai is, like Komaeda, someone who has a terminal health condition that severely limits what he can achieve compared to most people. But he chooses to live the life he has to the fullest, doing what he can in its duration by being himself to support others. Tanaka is, like Komaeda, someone who is aware of the unfairness of life, that for instance in the wild certain animals must die so others can live. But he knows that even those which die as prey fight as hard as they can before their demise. All three of these characters are aware of how unfair life is and that it may be cut sort at any moment before it comes to fruition. But unlike Komaeda, both Tanaka and Nidai respect the life they're given. Being fated to a stepping stone for another's life, like a mice that gets eaten by a hawk, doesn't mean the mice gives up on its own life; the mice will still fight as hard as it can to live, and will have lived until its death. A human life is no different, it's meant to be lived.

So fitting that it is this chapter in which Komaeda learns the truth and rejects living, his life and everyone elses too, and spends the trial looking down on the class while they internalize Tanaka's message of always walking forward. This is the chapter that could have given him food for thought as to his own situation, but instead because he learns the awful truth he preemptively dismisses everything and rejects the moral of the chapter by rejecting the idea of living and moving forward, leading to him not only throwing away his life but now attempting to kill everyone else too in the next chapter

Months ago, I left a comment saying that Disney LA remake stans are dumb and annoying and someone told me "it's not that deep". If the desecration of the art of animation is not that deep to you, then I don't know what to tell you.

tumblr user lilacerull0 talking about dr lance sweets once again, but i admire this one thing he does, that's especially apparent in the earlier seasons, and it's when booth says something completely out of line and insulting to him he carries on with his work regardless of the comment in an extremely admirable fashion, but he also has an apparent physical manifestation of uneasiness. like his face gets really red or he looks at booth disapprovingly for a flicker of a second and i just really appreciate that as a young person learning to exist in new and more professional spaces. knowing how something is done never includes the actual experience. even if it is the same as it is on paper when you're trying to recount the story, it simply doesn't capture the vastness of the actual moment and all of the details that amount to making the experience what it is. it just feels incredibly truthful. he gets equally genuine without meaning to when he talks about something he really cares about that has to do with his work which is something most of the interns do as well and i just. love that. i love seeing myself in that. and i especially love how brennan gets excited with them from time to time too because, while she carries herself with more experience and professionalism, she still showcases the characteristic wonder reserved for her chosen career. it's like when gordon gordon says how, even though he is retiring, it's not because people have lost the ability to surprise him. and to bring this wandering post to a full circle, he says lance surprises him, establishing a link between his wisdom and sweets' inexperience. we are here because we love this and that remains true. as long as it does, everything else will fall into its place in time. i love you intergenerational relationships ♡

The different parts of Gotham War not lining up at all in terms of plot, character motivation and characterization is bad enough, but now that DC is suddenly trying to explain when other titles like Detective Comics and Batman and Robin are taking place in relation to Gotham War it gets even worse because now all of these storylines make so much less sense too.

Granted I have the overall geographical and cultural knowledge of a 4th grader but from what I can tell the nuclear family model really does seem to be a white colonial invention

Different cultures have different approaches but I mainly hear about either large family units where multiple generations support each other and raise their children and grandchildren together or an "it takes a village" approach where children are raised somewhat communally

And I can't really speak on it much or claim that these families were free of abuse or that children aren't often an oppressed group basically everywhere I know of but the way ownership of your children is so engrained into white society is so bizarre

Like once you notice it you can't unnotice it even the most loving well meaning parents don't know what to do about it because everyone is so isolated from their own families and their own communities so you wind up with 1-2 parents who have full legal ownership of their child and are raised in a culture where you don't have personhood until you're 18 and all attempts at self actualization before them are seen as clueless rebellion. Like our culture is so divorced from the concept that a parent is someone who is helping mentor and care for their child so they can thrive as a fellow human being and it's actually so alarming

And ik this problem isn't unique to white and colonized people but it's honestly really soothing to hear about how other cultures approach and view parenting and community as a whole and to internalize it doesn't have to be this way

had an asthma attack while finishing my lesson. tried to communicate this by saying "i can't breathe" however due to the lack of breathing my trainer heard "i can't do it" (i was fucking up a grid on account of the not breathing) and was like "yes you can!! you did it before!" so i kept going 😂😭 was so confused by the response but in my state figured it made sense & her repeatedly telling me to take breaths (because she's a good trainer and noticed that i was breathing like an idiot) made me think i'd communicated what i thought and just needed to finish. did it! looked like utter shit! handed my lesson horse off to her next rider (WT) and laid on the ground for corpse time. it was at this moment that ppl started wondering if i was okay
