#this is kinda a vent post but you can reblog if you want idc

[flautistsandpeonies]

Now, I'm already a pretty liberal blocker all round, but I think I've gotten to the point in this fandom where I block people over stuff I usually didn't before. Like say:

"Wei Wuxian is stupid" Blocked

"Wei Wuxian is annoying" Blocked

"Wei Wuxian is selfish" Blocked

"Wei Wuxian is lazy" Blocked

Or stuff that's just textually or factually wrong like:

Wei Wuxian actually can't play the dizi/is terrible at music. (I just....why??? Multiple times the story tells us that he's good. The only time it was bad was because he was using a reed and intentionally playing it wrong. It literally says, point blank, that he's doing it like that on purpose.)

Everyone found Wei Wuxian annoying, childish, etc. (You're starting to sound like Jin Zixun. They hate him but sometimes people would outright defend him and his skills/character.)

Wei Wuxian was using Lan Wangji. (asgfghlkjin HUH!?)

Everyone knew Wei Wuxian had come back immediately. (They didn't. It literally took half a year for the cultivation sects to find out he had returned, and they only found out cause Jin Guangyao used information that Wei Wuxian couldn't possibly have known- Subian sealing itself. Lan Wangji found out because Wei Wuxian played the song that he didn't know Lan Wangji wrote. Jiang Cheng found out because he happened to be there when Wei Wuxian's cynophobia caused him to panic. Lan Xichen sort of knew because Lan Wangji would only bring Wei Wuxian to the Cloud Recesses. And Nie Hauisang is the reason he's back in the first place. Literally everyone found out by chance/a headshaker's planning.)

[shot-by-cupid]

A tag under one of your posts has me curious; how do you feel about other people who think Mario is attractive, and they see your posts and relate to them in that sense?

I am going to answer this honestly. But before I do I wanna say I love everybody. Do not let me stop you from. Talking about a character you like. I am chill and normal and so so friendly.

However.

It makes me violent. I will start biting. And I am a liar and I’m actually so. NOT CHILL. I am actually REALLY NOT CHILL and I’ve been lying to you all.

I assume you’re talking about the tag on This post this post that says ‘if you say some shit like ‘me’ I get to zap you’ (hilarious btw I made myself laugh with this one. Good tag Staci hit the showers)

And I wanna say 1. I would never zap anyone (lying again)

2. I am more so talking about people who will reblog self ship art and like. Relate it to their own relationships/own self ships, especially when it comes to Mario specifically, because I am very uncomfortable sharing and if someone were to comment on that and be like “this is how I feel about him, this is so me and him” I would literally end up in PRISON. i cannot be held responsible for what I would do (all jokes all jokes)

You are allowed to find whatever you want relatable, especially if it’s me I’m very relatable I’m very cool and everyone should relate to me (all jokes). Find whatever character you want attractive and post about it all you want. Idc. However I will avoid posts about him at all costs. Because they make me wanna rip my skin off. Woah who said that.

If I see anybody who isn’t me even sniff in his direction? It’s over for all of us. I have to do something drastic. I am very protective of my interests ESPECIALLY smb for personal reasons that I cannot get into unless we all want to talk about my DAD. Which nobody wants I don’t even want that. I hate to draw attention to it but I did make a kinda. Big long vent post about all these feelings that you CAN read if you REALLY REALLY want to.

And it sucks for everyone. It does. There are so many cool Mario fans I wish I could interact with. I’ve got a lot of regular followers that I would love to follow back, but I can’t. Because it will ruin me. It will RUIN me. I want to have cool friends with the same interests. I want to talk to people about him and gush about how perfect he is but I can’t. Because I can’t stand it. I simply can’t do that to myself. I am very fragile especially recently and I can’t. I gotta put me first (I also made a post about this also)

Anyway this got more serious than I wanted it to. I’m silly and normal. Who care. I’m fine with people who post about him following/interacting as long as you don’t come into my comments/tags/inbox talking about canon ships involving him/talking about how much you personally like him (well. You can but it’s a fine line to walk. Saying like ‘the way this game characterizes him is great!!’ Is fine. But something like ‘he’s so handsome I love him’ is NOT and will get you shot on sight. Shot by cupid NO you will be shot by STACI. Shot by me personally(JOKES. All jokes…))Once again I love everybody and I am nice and sweet and I am so friendly please stick your hands into the bars of my enclosure we keep things silly and lighthearted around here always !! >_0

30 Question Tag

Tagged by: @cockatoolunchlady​

(Readmore for length... this took awhile.)

-

Gender: Genderfluid between agender and demigirl. I like the they set of pronouns best, but actually like the idea of mixing it up too (especially she/they.) Essentialism is the only particular dysphoria trigger I have identified (and it’s mostly the social kind).

Birthday: February 16

Last movie seen: American Experience’s “The Poisoner’s Handbook“ [Documentary]

What do you post/reblog:

personal - mostly introspection, venting, and fitness blogging lately

art // writing

sociopolitical issues (wide gambit - generally with a theme of advocacy/solidarity for those in need of it)

positivity // self care // pro-recovery

shitposts

science - psychology, sociology, medicine, chemistry

typology stuff - MBTI, Enneagram

fandom (A lot less frequently than I used to, but mostly because i wanted to split that content off into a side blog in interest of making it easier to possibly back-up this blog somewhere else. Like WP, or something. Pffft.)

Last thing you Googled: “poisoner's handbook documentary”... to make sure I got that tile/citation right. :,D

Favorite blog:

Not sure, I like my friends’ blogs here. But I guess @cursedwithinkblood​ holds a special place in my heart... for pretty obvious reasons. Pffft. :,D

Dream job:

Medical examiner, [forensic] toxicologist, [forensic] pathologist, professor of medicine, something down that vein.

Dream trip:

... I don’t really know anymore. Maybe visit friends I’ve made on tumblr (places like Maryland, Minnesota, Texas, probs a few other states... *wink wink*)? Or even going to a convention or few, as I’ve never experienced one myself, yet? That’d be pretty cool.

South Korea woulda been up there, and it’s still a bucket list item... but I still feel raw about mom and the things associated. *Sigh.*

What would be your first entry in a new diary:

Because my journal/diary is a continuous document file, I don’t really have a literal “new diary” thing. I just archive things in year-long chunks. But anyways, I usually use it for mental health stuff and to prepare for therapy appointments. It keeps me from blanking but also helps me contextualize the time spans in between those appointments.

(The process really comes in two phases. First one is through this blog. Venting and relatively unfiltered. After some time has passed, that journal helps me see a bigger picture.)

Top 3 things you love about yourself:

I love to learn and analyze how things work/happen, it’s how I express appreciation and awe for the world/others. It also manifests as very strong cognitive empathy (affective empathy is far less consistent for me).

For the most part, I love my prudent nature and tendency toward thinking about consequences about the things I do (it’s probably one of the only reasons I’m still alive; but I do need to work on my risk aversion, though).

I’m creative and skilled.

3 things you wish you knew how to do:

Driving (without feeling abject terror)

Maintaining healthy boundaries (not too enmeshed but also not too distant; working on it tho)

Skills toward independence in general (so sick of family drama at this point and of me holding myself back out of fear)

Something you wish you had discovered/invented first:

I dunno, I guess I echo @specialagentholdenford​‘s sentiment on that one:

Why would I want to trade places with somebody else when I could make my own discovery?

(Like advancing current/future medical knowledge, has more appeal to me.)

3 qualities you like in a person:

Gratitude - respectful of time/energy of others

Willingness to grow and learn

Offbeat but good-natured sense of humor (the only really acceptable expense is the ‘punching up’ variety.)

3 qualities you dislike in a person:

Negligence - emotional, physical, occupational; both towards self and others

Irresponsibility - especially the personal flavor

Exploitative

Favorite planet:

Earth. (Even though we have a better knowledge of how this rock works than other rocks and balls of gas... there’s still so much more to learn here. Though I do appreciate astronomy!)

A resolution you make every year:

... I’m not really into making resolutions, for a lot of reasons. I guess I just want to make measurable progress with my recovery goals and various creative projects (maybe as a measuring stick - more than my output this year was).

Something you’re better at than most people:

See above about the cognitive empathy thing - perspective taking. I’ve basically had to cultivate it to understand myself and other people, to keep a relatively cool head in general. Otherwise, I’d be a lot more lost than I am.

Something you’re worse at than most people:

Intimacy.

Favorite thing about tumblr: I’ve learned a lot about diversity in general here, gave me vocabulary to understand myself and other people better.

Least favorite thing about tumblr: Honestly, staff’s lack of transparency about site updates and their distinct lack of care for accessibility. That, plus some shitty consequences of the acquisition (*cough*net-neutrality*cough). :I

Weapon of choice:  

I guess... words?

Something not many people know about you:

I tend to be pretty transparent here and relatively so IRL, so that’s a tough one.

Favorite means of transport:

I actually kinda like buses, personally.

Favorite story:  

Hard to chooose. David Lubar’s “Hidden Talents“ really stuck with me from my teens. But I also loved “Gil’s All-Fright Diner“ and “Things Not Seen“ from childhood. Later on, I really enjoyed “Frankenstein“, “John Dies at the End“, and “Marvel Zombies.“ I’m probably missing other good things (like movies and whatnot), too... orz

Chicken or egg:

Egg.

Something that always makes you laugh:

Shitty puns, full stop. Love me some dry humor, too. But also absurdist humor in general, anything that inspires this reaction (hell, if I can do it to other people, it’s hilarious too, idc if it’s gauche to laugh at your own jokes):

What is the strangest thing about you:

I guess it might be the fact I was such a precocious medical nerd at a young age that it even surprised a few adults that were in the field (a nurse who was treating my great grandpa and one of Mom’s church peers who I think was a nurse or doctor). Hell, one of my first birthday requests I remember was for an anatomy book.

You get to switch places with someone for a day, who is it and why:

I have no clue, man. You know what they say about green grass and shit. I already do enough perspective-taking as it is.

Tagging: Ah hell, I dunno who to tag, today. Anyone who sees this, and hasn’t already done it, can do it.
