#this site has ruined me

This website has actually ruined me because why did i see this

and immediately think

I got reminded of the spn reference in tlou2 and now when i come across the note all I can see is this

A friend of mine is a film minor and mentioned making a beat sheet for one of her classes and I had to keep a straight face while surrounded by the entire student body

Newshour is doing a 2022 film review and i hate that my mind went right to goncharov...

Jesus fucking christ I thought that said "eating PARASITES" and barely batted an eye

eating pastries is so humiliating cause you'll be having the time of your life having it and then when you're finished you look down and you're covered in flakes and sugardust like fuuuck now everyone is going to know i'm a messy pastry whore

yknow sometimes the way trans women talk about testosterone and being on estrogen is indistinguishable from the way terfs try to convince afab people not to start hrt

this is not a criticism mind you, their experiences are their own and completely legitimate, it's just a matter of competing needs - they need a safe space to talk about their dysphoria and how testosterone makes them feel and i need to not hear about how i am destroying my body with hrt

ordinarily these things are pretty insular to transfem circles but since instagram has been feeding me transfem content i'm seeing it more and more and yet again the algorithm is fucking me

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)

every night i witness a new game breaking bug in pathologic 2

I am once again begging online shop payment processing companies to allow me to enter a separate name for shipping and separate name for billing!!

It's the same address, I'm just trans and have not legally changed my personal name, but I still prefer to receive mail as my preferred name! Like it's literally my professional name, I do business as my preferred name.

Annoying as fuck, and I don't want to chance my bank rejecting the payment (though I'm sure someone at my bank has put a note to allow it on my account by now, since I've contacted them a couple times before when I realized too late that the billing section didn't let me input another "address/name" section, and they said the payment was fine in those cases.)

Anyway, legal name changes should be free and non-advertised for everyone. Tbh, you should get a free name change every time you file your taxes on time as an incentive for good citizen behaviour. Once I am elected pres-

i love when my mom gets mad at me for the internet being slow. as if that's something i have control over

[loverofallthingssmart]

i am SO IRRITATED with @support @staff right now

like this detaching a post from its link to each individual reblog in a chain is a NIGHTMARE

-> new hyperfixation, and i'm trying to backread some of the associated blogs that have been around a while, yeah?

and i'm on mobile, which is relevant because hey fuck app users is i guess the motto?

so used to, if you wanted to read a few months/years back on a blog you could: find a tag of theirs, click on a post that was around the time you were interested in, be ported to the blog's dash AS OF THAT TIME IN THE PAST, and just scroll along

but now, because tumblr, for whatever moronic reason, has isolated posts so that

clicking takes you to an individual pane for *only* that post, not where it is on the blog timeline

AND NOW you CANNOT reach a previous reblog from clicking on the username in the reblog (only the og post)

the ONLY way to get back to older posts is to SCROLL MANUALLY FOR LITERAL HOURS

if i want to see posts from 2017, finding an old post and clicking on it does NOTHING to help me - it has been snipped out of its native environment and shown to me, but the other posts available as links at the bottom pane are just whatever tumblr algorithm thinks are 'relevant', not access to the rest of the blog timeline

this is true EVEN ON MY OWN BLOG and

I HATE IT

either make the Archive function work on mobile or GIVE BACK THE FUNCTIONALITY THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD

Oh while chatting with alicia and air I go ‘yeah if life doesn’t work out at least I have the fantasy of quitting my job and going back to office work, then I can at least be miserable in a different way’ & air goes like ‘all of your fantasies are about being miserable in a different way’ & I’m like. ‘N. Not true. There’s the one about getting swept off my feet by a hot rich older woman,’

So glad Submas isn’t in Paldea.

No, they don’t need to be there.

No, Emmet does NOT need to be traveling the world looking for Ingo.

What needed to happen was PLA did NOT need to use Ingo, or if they absolutely HAD to include him, the devs needed to be given time to actually finish the story of the game and send him home before being rushed into the next inconsiderately timed release.

The devs are also likely well aware of the damage putting Ingo in PLA did to PLA; a large chunk of the fanbase barely bothers with the other characters they put in, and so much of the ones that do only do so in relation to Ingo or how sad they can make Submas via Volo. PLA had some really interesting characters, especially considering how many were blatant ancestors of other characters, and all so many people cared about was Ingo. Rightfully so in terms of why was he there and why didn’t we see him go back and that this was unnecessary, but too many people got weird. Again.

Putting Ingo and Emmet in Paldea, even just on a vacation as though PLA never happened is sure to make people focus on them and forget that we have an entire new set of Gym Leaders, Team Star Bosses, teachers, and even three friends at school with their own backstories and motivations.

Putting Emmet in Paldea looking for Ingo would be even worse in terms of that. And the chances of that being the story the devs want to tell is pretty low.

And in any case, the devs don’t carry storylines from one region to the next, especially going from one Gen to the next. The closest we come is Looker, who just shows up to arrest people when he’s not in his home region of Alola, and he shows up to arrest the current villain, he does not show up to bring the plot of a previous Gen and region into a new game.

I’m so tired.
