#throwaway account for obvious reasons

[thingsarentgreat]

Hey we shouldn't be celebrating the murder of civilians whether they're Palestinian or Israeli.

The conditions in Gaza are abhorrent.

But I guarantee you that a bunch of music festival attendees and some kids in a kibbutz had nothing to do with the policies that caused Palestinians to suffer. This is not a victory and this will bring no positive change for Palestinians. This will only serve to cause more bloodshed in the coming days for Muslims and Jews who have nothing to do with the ugly things going on.

I saw nothing on Tumblr about what Hamas' attack actually entailed. I thought it was directed towards government buildings or army bases. The way I heard about it here, I thought it was a victory and would make a point to the government to enact change.

It was not that. No one here told me about the music festival. No one here told me about the kibbutz.

That is not something to celebrate.

No one deserves that. Those were innocent people same as innocent Palestinians that have been murdered. This is really fucked up. This is only going to serve to increase the islamophobia and antisemitism in the world as onlookers decide to blame people for the actions of oppressive governments which they have no control over. I refer to both Israel and Hamas by this.

AITA for not avenging my son's death?

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I (45M) have six kids—27M, 23F, 23M, 17M, 16M, and 10M. This one concerns my 23-year-old son, we'll call him "Jay."

I adopted Jay from a rough environment when he was 12 and love him more than anything in the world even as I write this. I was heartbroken beyond words when he suddenly and unexpectedly died at 15. My grief took control (until my third son "Timmy" came along, but that's another story). Unbeknownst to me, after Superman tore a hole in realy, Jay came back.

However, our relationship's been strained ever since. He's angry at me for not being there for him or avenging his death. However, he's also had his fair share of vices by fraternizing with one of my enemies, going on murderous crime sprees, starting fights with his other siblings, and basically turning all the values I instilled in him on its head. When I first saw him after he came back, I couldn't even recognize him.

We've since then reconciled despite our continuing differences and I cannot emphasize how happy I am to have him back. However, we still get into the occasional argument. Last night, it was another repeat of the argument of why I didn't do anything after he died. Jay pointed out how when another son of mine (10M, gonna call him "Dami") died, I traveled to another planet to bring him back.

Now Jay is accusing me of favoritism and won't talk to me. He and my oldest son ("Richard") think I'm in the wrong for not trying to bring him back or at least avenge him. My wife and youngest disagree because I was younger, less experienced, and also suffered through the grief. My middle kids are on the fence and my butler refuses to weigh in, so I'm coming to you guys on the internet for another opinion.

AITA if

i had a falling out with this friend of mine, who is also a tumblr user. there have been a lot of reasons for that, and one of the many-many reasons were her political views, that are generally considered questionable by people around here. people usually wanna know if the person they're interacting with is that type of a person. disclaimer: she's not like. A Bigot. or something. it's just that a lot of people are uncomfortable interacting with someone who holds those views.

she's like, not exactly open about them but reblogs a ton from people who are and made a couple posts that make them obvious.

however, she likes interacting with all kinds of people despite their DNIs and stuff, because she thinks there's no harm as long as they don't know, even if it's all on her blog.

now, to the aita part. we don't follow each other anymore but tumblr recommends her posts to me a lot, perhaps because we used to be mutuals/i have some of her posts liked and i cba to go through all my likes to unlike them. no, i don't wanna block her because i don't block people. as a matter of principle. i tried filtering her username out but i end up always clicking on the post anyway. i'm one nosy bitch, what can i say?

sometimes, she posts about my hyperfixation. something that is very dear and important to me. i don't know the reason why she's doing it because she knows nothing about it and doesn't care about it, but sometimes she makes throwaway comments "based on what she heard" (so, based on what I told her while we were still friends).

and for every time she does so that i end up seeing (happened like 5ish times now), i send one of her mutuals who would be uncomfortable interacting with her had they known about her views an anonymous ask about it. i don't leak anything personal that she'd told me or anything of the sort, i just link the accounts of people she reblogs from and some of her posts on the topic like "hey, take a look at that". each time, it results in the person blocking her and thanking me for telling them in a separate post.

on one hand, i'm technically doing the right thing, since these people hate interacting with people like her, and they just didn't browse her blog enough to know that that's the kind of person she is, even though it's all open source. they're grateful i told them, too.

on the other, i'm doing it for incredibly childish and selfish reasons. had i not seen her bring my hyperfixation up, i wouldn't have done that because i'm not mother theresa like that. but for that reason, it brings me immense satisfaction to do so. especially when she posts stuff like "omg, (name) blocked me... why" and has no clue why. in my mind, it's punishment for touching something that i consider My Thing. i kind of want her to someday understand what's going on, even if it's stupid and territorial of me. like that's what's gonna continue happening if you continue touching My Thing, not giving it the respect it deserves at that too. as i've said, she only regurgitates the stuff i told her because she doesn't care about it. i have a suspicion she's only doing it to piss me off in case i still visit her blog. no idea but it does piss me off. and doing what i described really calms me down.

so, aita?

I was thinking about “I am the dirt under your nails” and first of all I don’t think it can be ignored that the title of e9 is derived from this line. Considering that, this line is evidently not meant to be a cutesy throwaway line between Cait and Vi, it has huge thematic weight and implications. If you think about the title “The Dirt Under Your Nails” in this context, it’s clear that it’s meant to refer to the fact that all of our characters have dirt under their nails. As in, their hands aren’t clean. They’ve all committed wrongs, because they’re all human, which is obviously a major theme of this season/show. The second part of this dialogue is “nothing’s gonna clean me out,” which fits with what Caitlyn says about how no amount of good deeds can undo those wrongs. This line is about accountability.

And there’s a reason why it’s Vi who says this line to Cait. The most obvious is that Caitlyn has wronged her, but it goes deeper than that. In e8, Vi asks Caitlyn who gets to decide who gets a second chance. There are multiple ways to interpret how this idea impacts the narrative. I’ve seen it said that Caitlyn allows Vi to free Jinx because in giving Jinx a second chance she also gives herself one, and that’s an important point for Caitlyn’s character, but I think Vi would’ve found a way to free Jinx no matter what. Cait just made it easy for her. What the narrative shows us is that Vi is the one who gets to decide who gets a second chance by having her decide to give one to both Jinx and Cait. I’ve seen people talk about how’s Vi’s role is that of the witness — to be the constant that observes all the change and corruption that happens around her, and to be burdened with the memory of all that has transpired. And that’s true, but there’s more to it as well. Remember this promotional poster? It has 3 different titles/captions associated with it (that I saw):

1) Horrors I’ve Seen

2) Everyone is Guilty, Vi

3) It’s Too Late to Point the Finger Now

The first one obviously reinforces Vi’s position as the witness. But the second two are about accountability. It always struck me that the second caption brings the collective guilt of our cast to Vi’s attention specifically. Now it makes sense: she is both witness and judge. The character with the “good heart,” the only one who remains largely uncorrupted/unchanged by the end. Who is motivated purely by her desire to protect while the vast majority of the characters around her are twisted by revenge and ambition. It’s absolutely intentional that she is the one who says that line.

r/AmItheAsshole: AITA for not releasing a Being my father had in a cage in our basement?

Throwaway account for obvious reasons.

I know how the title makes me sound but just hear me out. So back in the day my father tried to summon Death to bring back my older brother who died in the War. Yeah I know it's a bad idea but try telling him that. I was ten at the time. His summoning worked but he didnt get Death he got this other... being... I'm kinda afraid I'll get murdered if I write his name down so. Anyway. The Being looks like a human man but he is NOT HUMAN OKAY. this is important to remember.

My father put him in a glass cage so he wouldn't escape. Not sure where he got this idea exactly but I always thought it was kind of sadistic. But my father was an asshole so. Yeah. The Being didn't resurrect my brother but I guess just having him in our house brings luck? Because my father stopped aging as quickly and we got really rich and stuff. Sometimes I kinda wanted to free the Being but my father would have definitely killed me.

So 10 years later and this Being still hasn't spoken A WORD like he just sits there like a statue it's so creepy I swear. Doesn't talk to us idk if he can? But it makes my father super angry. One day the Being's crow was trying to help him escape (yeah idk either) so I shot it (still feel kinda bad tbh) but my father was furious because it could have broken the cage. He started hitting me with his cane but then he fell and hit his head and died. I SWEAR I didn't kill him or anything this was an accident 100%. This put me in charge of the house after his death.

So here's where I think I might be TA. Once I kind of told the Being that I would free him if I could (he didn't respond obvs). Now that my father is dead I could free him if I wanted but what if he wanted revenge like I did shoot his bird? Like this is clearly a dangerous being I don't know what his powers are exactly but he could definitely kill me if he wanted. My boyfriend says we should let him go and like obviously I don't want to have a Being in my basement? It's super fucked up. But I told the Being we'd let him out if he promised not to hurt us and he didn't say anything. So I kind of don't want to let him out.

AITA?

WIBTA for faking my own death?

Throwaway account, for obvious reasons.

My family and I are on pretty bad terms. They're super bigoted, we fight a lot, and they don't really care about me or respect me at all. On top of that, they own and run a horrible environmentally destructive family business that's been around for ages (it's basically a strip mining operation but worse), and I know they know that upsets me, but they just talk over me and treat me like a child whenever I try to have a conversation about it, and I feel like I can't negotiate with them at all. They've always been like this, and I hate it.

Recently, they've been trying to pressure me to join in the family business and basically gave me the deeds to a chunk of land they want to mine/develop, though they're still basically running the operations logistically. The place is so beautiful, and it's a home to multiple endangered species that could literally go extinct if the project goes through. I've seen it myself and I can't possibly live with the idea of letting that happen.

I couldn't get through to them directly, and I couldn't risk them confiscating the land and just doing things themselves, so I... basically ended up making a whole ecoterrorist alter-ego to sabotage myself so I could have an excuse not to do it? Which was fun, and it has made some actual dents in the project! And I like the person I get to be when I don't have to play along with their awfulness. I've made friends as this person, and um, maaaybe even a girlfriend? Which my family will absolutely lose their shit over if they ever find out about. (That goes for a lot of my friends right now, honestly.) Buuut now they're making a huge deal out of the whole thing and basically want my other persona dead, which is going to be hard to explain when that person turns out to be me! I don't want to have to have this conversation ever if I can help it, and I'm really scared of what will happen to my friends if I get caught.

Right now, almost all my actual friends only know me as my other persona. I don't know what they would think of me if they knew. The only person who knows is my girlfriend, and only because she works for my parents' business as well (she was sort of hired as a personal assistant after I scared off the last one? Long story. Younger me was… not the most mature.) I'm terrified of what might happen if my secret gets out, and I don't think there's any more good I can do as the bratty little princess of the family I'm still badly pretending to be.

I can't keep up this ruse, and I can't keep living like this. I hate it here. I don't want to be this person I am around them anymore. I just want to be me, and the only way I can see to do that is to make a clean break.

So. WIBTA for faking my death to get away from them?

WT #5: "It's Broken"

Summary: Spy AU. r/AITA post from a throwaway account asking if they're the asshole for accidentally torturing their best friend.

WC: 1363

Am I the asshole for torturing my best friend, despite him not knowing it was me? [UPDATED] + Poll

Throwaway account for obvious reasons. 

So I work for a… company with enemies. Lots of enemies. And my job is to make sure those who come prying, don’t get off easy when they get a little too nosey. Seven of these enemies come in the form of branded assassins, and they’ve been on our asses for a while. I won’t use their name as I don’t want any hate/harassment to go towards them, but If you didn’t know, they’re the UK’s legion of puppies - legal assassins and infiltrators who are conditioned to think they’re doing good, but truthfully they’re just nuisances. Like, really annoying. Why can’t we be chased by the French ones? They’d put up a much better fight…

Ugh. Anyway, the pups got in the way of several shipments that stopped the boys getting paid, they nearly got my brother arrested and they killed a dozen higher-ups - you wanna know how hard they are to replace? They do all this for clout and money; bigger enemies pay the small enemies to try and take us out, and for what? We’re a family business, for christ's sake! All we do is move shit around and own a few stores, what’s so threatening about that? Nothing I’ll say! I’m just trying to put food on the table and these assholes are trying to stop that. Not all of us belong to institutions who feed us cucumber sandwiches and lobster at the drop of a hat. 

He’s probably there right now, swaddled in a private hospital with a team of doctors putting him back together. 

I’m not looking for sympathy, but I guess I hate them so much because one of them killed my dad. I was a wreck! 

So yeah, I fucking hate them. They took everything and continue to take - my brother had to step in and take over dads role and it hasn’t been easy for him! For any of us! And those bastards got away with a pat on the back and a warm bed while we had to relocate a warehouse for the millionth time. My dad was just sitting in his office holding his gun as he usually does - so what if it happened to be pointing in the direction of the pup? Those  guys are so insecure they see anything as a threat. ‘Shoot on sight’. Hah. That mentality will get them killed if they weren’t so damn hard to catch. 

But imagine the satisfaction when we finally managed to get our hands on one - a live one. The small one with the blonde hair, is probably about 5 '5 and built like a stick insect. (I’m practically six foot, well-built and can bench about 200lbs) 

They’d gotten sloppy - too egotistical. Their mums had probably told them they’re the best in the world and they ran with it. We cornered the rat in one of our warehouses, and he relented when he realized he wasn’t enough to beat over a dozen armed men when all he had on him was knives. What, is he just old enough to graduate from safety scissors? No guns? Fucking amateur. 

He didn’t go down without a fight, and it was quite a show, too. Bastard managed to nick my arm, but my brother managed to crack the back of his head with a pipe and he was out cold… Well, we assumed so anyway because of those damn masks -  If you hadn’t been living under a rock, then you’d know the pups have these masks practically glued to their face. They all have their own ‘looks’, the blonde one’s is molded into a frown with those soulless, black eyes. The reason we didn’t take it off there and then is because… well, last time someone did, everyone in the room went missing, and I don’t know about you guys but I’m quite comfortable here. We play a very dangerous game - luckily I’m always one step ahead. 

I’ve had six years to think about this - to wonder what It would be like to get one of them. My brother called me crazy, but I could hardly wait as they took his headpiece and tracker from his uniform. Look, I know it wasn’t the short one that killed my dad but he was close enough, but who wouldn't want to enact revenge on the closest thing to their fathers killer? Granted it wasn’t the short one that killed my dad, but it was close enough to send a message and I only had forty minutes before the fanfare arrived. So that gave me about thirty minutes to do whatever I wanted… 

I wasted no time in getting my hands dirty. Just seeing his stupid mask made me feel all kinds of stuff, but mostly rage at what one of his teammates had done to my life. I saw red. 

So I cut every limb deep enough to see bone. I broke several fingers, his leg, and carved him a new six pack after I’d rearranged his ribs. I ripped his clothes enough to see the pale flesh they hide beneath layers of tactical gear. I took his gloves so I could at least have a trophy - a reminder of the time I beat up a ‘Sin. 

I almost feel guilty for loving it, but I hated how he made no noise. He was conscious, I knew this because of the heavy breathing but he didn’t say a single word. Not one. Not even a whimper.

So I hit harder. And I kept on hitting until my knuckles bled because the smug bastard didn’t deserve it. He didn’t deserve to be silent, but I’m also not sure he deserved the beating. I know, what a plot twist. 

I guess I should explain the title now, because how do I know I just tortured my best friend? Well. I think I did. Because only one person I know has a very specific scar between his pointer and thumb - right in the fleshy part. It stretches across his palm as well as down the back of his hand towards the wrist. It’s barely visible now, but I’ve known him for years, so even beneath all the blood I can still trace the faint line. I’m so used to seeing his hands and the scar… and that mop of blond hair that I know it had to be him. He’s also the only person I know that bites his nails down to the cuticles. 

I saw the scar when I raised the bar I was using above his hand - he’d been strapped to a chair, with his arms tied to the armrests. His fingers were broken for sure, but at the time I wasn’t done… the irrational anger I had had blinded me, but the sight of the scar swung me back to my senses. I paused for a solid minute, the pipe I was using poised above his hand. 

“It’s broken.” He finally rasped. 

And I stopped. 

I stopped. Like, I physically recoiled because despite the fact that he was hiding behind that stupid mask he actually spoke. I could put a voice to a body and for some reason I felt so sick I nearly threw up because it was so unmistakably him. 

So I dragged his body back to the spot and left him. I had time to spare but I couldn’t face it. If it was him, then he must have known it was me. I mean, I was wearing a pretty good disguise - a hoodie, sunglasses and bandanna - but I’m worried y’know, I don’t want this to affect our friendship going forward. 

I’m sitting in my car typing this and wondering AITA for torturing him? Because it was just to teach him a lesson but on the other hand… he’s my best friend and I genuinely didn't know? Like, I stopped right away! On the other hand, he is part of something that actively ruins the family business so I don't know. 

UPDATE: He does know it was me. 

I think we’re still friends.

Ok so what's my interpretation of this line aside from the obvious one that Zeke is an evil-evil narcissistic self-absorbed piece of shit who cares for nothing but to spurn Levi ofc (im being facetious)

disclaimer: this is pretty cut-and-dry as the most of Zeke's motivation was lifted from the manga panels i.e. not speculated on by the likes of me

Just to be clear, Zeke doesn't say this out of the blue or just cuz he's in an insulting mood — it's a direct response to Levi's words preceding this, not a throwaway comment made to pull wool over Levi's eyes

Going back to the beginning of the ch 110, this whole interaction starts with Zeke retelling the events of the Ragako village to Levi — something that he's done a couple of times already — only to be accused of remorselessness by Levi later

It's only then that Zeke replies with:

In general, Zeke doesn't really care what people think of him or his motivations with Eren being the exception. He never tries to convince anyone of his euthanasia plan justness (hell, he doesn't reveal it to the majority of people *because* he knows they'll never understand and thus be approving of it). As seen in the panels from ch 113 below, Zeke believes that no one aside from Eren and himself is capable of understanding that's why he doesn't bother making them understand

(and it's not like Zeke says these words to be edgy or something — he's monologuing so there's no reason for him to lie or exaggerate when there's no one for him to hear that, this monologue is exclusively for the reader to take in)

Levi's opinion is of no value to Zeke. If it was, then Zeke would have made an attempt of justifying his position like he did with Eren. But he never did in the span of his entire involuntary stay in the forest. A month-long opportunity and never once did Zeke deign to use it to tell Levi about the events in his past that led him to the creation of the euthanasia plan. Because Zeke doesn't see it as necessary.

Levi tries to figure out Zeke, though. I suppose this is why Levi asks Zeke about Ragako a couple of times already, it's not the first instance that he hears this account from Zeke. Time and time again, all to come to the same conclusion — that is, that Zeke is not riddled with any guilt whatsoever. And as much as Levi is justified in his attempt to understand the motives of a person whose worldview goes against every value that Levi holds dear when it comes to human life — but his judgement is based solely on the previous interactions he's had with Zeke + Zeke's account of the Ragako village attack. And suffice to say all their previous interactions weren't really conducive to creating a fruitful conversation between them since the majority of times they met was in a battle.

(trying so hard not to sound like a Zeke apologist but—) Zeke does care about human lives in his own twisted way. As someone who's so fucked up in the head to think that death is the ultimate mercy, he truly believes he makes those he killed a great favor by ridding them of their painful existence.

All of this Levi could've learned but never does — all of his conclusions about Zeke are drawn from his very limited experience of interacting with Zeke (atp they had only 2-3 brief conversations which mainly consists of them trading taunts). Not that he is obliged to — Levi has enough reasons to judge Zeke for his actions yet he assumes Zeke's intentions and judges them too.

As per this post, the Japanese version intended Zeke's line about women to be a comment on Levi's social skills, how his ill-based notion about someone's motivations is making him out to sound unlikable. Hence it's followed by 'Don't act you understood someone else's thoughts'. Because in Zeke's mind, Levi never understood Zeke's thoughts/intentions.

Zeke thinks that no one is capable of understanding him or his intentions. That's why he doesn't appreciate Levi attempting to do it (and erroneously so) and shuts him down.

hi so im using a throwaway account for this for obvious reasons. I’m israeli but not in the way you think. I was born in america but ethnically i am israeli and it has shown that in my bio in a few of my social media profiles for a couple years now. not a day goes by where either at school or online I get bullied or harassed for my heritage, this doesn’t mean i support israel’s side at all. i support palestinians and I am aware what my country is doing is absolutely horrible, I am so close to moving as far away as I can and start a new life, i have thought many times about pretending i have a different ethnicity so i wouldn’t be harassed everyday. i know that sounds wrong or weird but i hope you understand what i mean. biologically, according to my family, my genes, etc, I am israeli, but my mindset is nowhere near to the government of israel. please understand that just because someone is ethnically israeli that doesn’t mean to harass them as if they have something to do with what is going on in palestine, it doesn’t seem like it’s that big of an issue but another friend of mine’s mental health is seriously deteriorating as she is getting bullied physically, online, and verbally. i hope my intended message is coming across properly. please do not assume my character because of my background. in my main account and any social media i have removed any evidence that i am israeli and blocked anyone who commented on it just in case, which is why i am using this account.

Once again Tumblr has auto-suggested me a strange tag, which I decided to look into:

#gendie brainrot receipts

I'm getting a bad feeling from this one. Switching to desktop to investigate...

Ooohhh what the fuck is this???

Let's ignore everything but the first result for a moment. That first post comes from the blog gendiebrainrotreceipts. They highlight trans and enby posts on Tumblr they find mock-able, akin to other "Libs of Tiktok"-style blogs, channels, and accounts across social media. Unfortunately, this tag is from the "gender criticals". 😔

Ok, the obvious aside, what the hell is up with all of the muscley men? They're all coming from accounts which look like bots or throwaways. Is this tag being spammed?

Some quick digging finds one of the throwaway accounts has the answer: gribbler444. The earliest posts on this blog (from mid-December 2023) are sparkle-gif screenshots of other blogs complaining about spam posts in similar TERF tags:

And this:

Both of these are screenshots from gribbler444's blog. They are a suspiciously-spammy looking blog, visible in the screenshot from Tumblr search above. They are still spamming (as of an hour ago) as I write this post.

From what I can gather here, there's been an ongoing spam campaign from a cluster of bloggers, or maybe just one person with lots of sock-puppets or bots, within TERF Tumblr tags for the past month, roughly.

It's sort of confounding to realize that the most likely reason I was suggested the "gendie brainrot receipts" tag today was because of an ongoing campaign to disrupt TERF spaces. I'd never seen the tag before today, and now as a result of seeing it I've been made more aware of TERFs in my blogosphere. Just kind of sad all around.

P.S.: I have intentionally not shown the blogs of TERF commenters because I don't want to be in the business of naming and shaming people. I also do not want my record of this weird tag phenomenon to act as a permanent record of someone's transphobia. I did not properly link gendiebrainrotreceipts, because they are an active TERF who might harass me or others.

I sincerely hope that TERFs change their minds, and can grow to accept trans people as allies in the fight for universal LGBT+ acceptance.

Hoooly shit guys I just encountered a website so privacy unfriendly I am legitimately stunned.

As part of research for my thesis I downloaded a document (from a site that shall remain unnamed for reasons that will soon become obvious), and in order to download it I had to enter my email address. I entered a throwaway duckduckgo email address and just now I got an email from the site saying they've created an account for me (without informing me of this beforehand) AND THE PASSWORD FOR MY ACCOUNT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFAULT PASSWORD, STATED IN CLEAR TEXT DIRECTLY IN THE EMAIL. The "password" being so easily crackable it feels like a bad joke.

Kinda freaking out over how extremely bad this is...

Also looool I need to be logged in to read their privacy policy.... (If it even actually exists)

[aro-luigi]

I'm only gonna say this fucking once cuz for some reason it's not obvious

If you have no pfp, title, banner, description and all you do is reblog or you don't have anything on your blog

I'm blocking you! Sorry not sorry, I don't want the risk of having bots or throwaway accounts follow me.

Good fucking night <3

[hobimo]

sorry if i keep sending you asks i think it would feel a lil weird to dm bc my accounts on sns tend to be kind of throwaway accounts bc i don't know how to build an online presence prob freaks ppl out lol but yeah exactly you can tell that a lot of new jikookers experienced fan fiction for the first time with jikook so they just be reading and writing whatever. no critical thinking just big cocks and alpha knots is what it takes. the thing is that imo years ago you used to like a pairing and then get inspired by them to make up stories/characters, whereas i feel that now jikookers first and foremost see jm and jk's relationship and personalities in That specific way and it translates to fics as well. they keep saying it's just fiction but i don't buy it lmao i think it's the opposite so yeah it kinda fucks the whole thing up yk. OH btw i know that author!!! i have one of their naruto fics saved in my bookmarks so i'm def familiar w them, i'll check it out! ty <3

yessssss surveycorpsjean has been Around writing bangers. i am just discovering bakudeku the last few months tho so im extra insane about them 👍also recommend watching trigun for normal reasons (please. please please please please we need more people with trigun brainrot. if u like the hanged man archetype and characters doomed by the narratve and tragic siblings you will Love trigun.)

thank you very much for the fic recs!!!!!!! i have heard of the first author but cant think of the fic ive read so i will check it out. im such a fucking sucker for super animalistic a/b/o..... that furry shit is so good

i have so many thoughts about the way people talk and think about jimin these days but im so scared putting them on public posts will get me doxxed or some shit. people are very attached to the idea that jimin acts openly queer which is really like. well. yeah. i definitely think people reallyyyy need to remember it doesnt matter how much you believe someone famous is queer theyre just presenting in a way that makes them happy and you really do NOT need to decide whether that's queer or not lmao in fact i think it says way more about someone when they decide he's queer because he doesnt act like a "typical man". like yeah in his performances obviously he explores gender some times but like sometimes songwriters are also exploring themes and thoughts that are purely creative. sometimes its not about them (and sometimes it is!) but. yeah. you can PERCEIVE him as queer if it makes you happy but you gotta remember thats not fact thats just what YOU think. yknow. and i also think this translates kinda into the fic people consume and create.

like here's the thing. people dont need to ACT a certain way to be considered men like thats ridiculous if youre a man youre a man regardless of how you act or what u say or what bits you have. same for any gender. which is why i generally think critiquing the cringey wattpad fics is a slippery slope. however, do i also think a lot of them have a very distinct cishet girl fantasy..... yes. but its embarrassing to write Y/N fic. so theyve gotta vent their desires somehow which is like fine i dont give a shit what people write. (as much as it bothers me how uncritically people read it and get it popular) but sometimes in a/b/o especially....... its VERY clear when your biases come out. which is why its sooooooooo obvious when someone who has never met real life queer people writes it. for example grouping "women and omegas" like they fill the same role despite being different subgenders when u could specify like. omegas and female betas. if u wanted. implying that women are still women even if theyre alpha but omegas are not men anymore. you get me? the fact that u decided to include male/female gender essentialism in the fic genre specifically around Not doing that is so unbelievably on the nose. and yet i see it everywhere. (i also think this is a symptom of people never having read other fandoms tho. they dont even know about gock [girl cock]).

also fics where the major antagonists are a group of girls that harrass jimin r super mean bc god we cant have a MAN do that or he's a predator. you get me? and the alpha jk who is quiet and broody and doesnt even HAVE to fight bc he's soooooooo strong the other alphas are just scared of his vibes. like you know the type of fic im describing. in general whenever the major antagonist of the fic is a bunch of women who also want to fuck jk (which like. if we're supposed to believe jk is soooo hot... like. they should?) and the author calls them a "gaggle" of women and emphasises how they "giggle" and their high pitched unpleasant voices..... brother we have some serious internalised misogyny to unpack with that one.

sorry this is such a massive rant I HAVE A LOT OF THOUGHTS. IVE READ SO MUCH BAD FIC IVE NOTICED SO MUCH

About me & this blog

Hello, call me T3, Birb, or Borb, whichever you prefer.

I've made this silly corner of the internet because I have an unhealthy obsession with a fictional character and want to contribute to the fandom, be it feeding the algorithms with likes n reblogs n shit or my own produce :P

Unique tags found on this blog:

Borb's Scribbles (art)

Borb's Rambles (thoughts, theories, etc)

Borb's Garbage Dump (works in progress, may or may not get finished)

Borb Answers (ask responses. May sometimes also feature scribbles and rambles, depending on the ask)

Not mine (obvious lol)

Unholy Abomination - universal mature tag, may contain either adultery or robot guts. Used liberally just in case, even if the art is technically sfw

Other noteworthy things:

English isn't my native language, my apologies if my words are hard to read or understand

This blog is hyperfocused on Ramram. Probably a stupid idea in the long run but this account is a semi-throwaway anyway

I don't reblog much as I lowkey don't see the point. This is a place for my produce, not a spam blog. That said reblogs do show up on the rare occasion. I do my best to make up for this by leaving likes and comments on other's posts to show support :)

I'm here to have a good time, not cause or experience discourse, so please don't be a jerk, just block me and ignore me if my existence bothers you

I am, to some extend, a pro-shipper. I barely have any preferences when it comes to Ram ships, I'm fine with just about any (including self-inserts and OCs)

There are some shipping dynamics I don't like, one or both characters being OOC as hell, general toxicity and abuse, underage x adult, non-con, things of that nature, but I'm fine with pretty much anything deemed "problematic", assuming the issue is handled reasonably well (and if it's not handled well... the creator has a right to vent via creative media, even if I don't like said media. Better have them let out their frustrations creatively than... you know. Actually acting on them.)

For Ram fandom's "problematic" ship specifically, I'm neutral on Ramyatta, slightly leaning towards the don't like it territory, but for reasons other than the whole pseudo-incest thing (it's not incest in my eyes because robots don't have genes and monastery titles, but I can see how Ram and Zen calling each other "brother" is offputting)

I generally don't take requests, but if I happen to vibe a lot with a certain concept, I might just draw it

I'm open to talking, but I'm shy and perfectionistic. So please don't take it personally if I don't respond for a while ;-; I'll try to do my best.

I am a-okay with naughty topics, just know that I'll probably be embarrassed about it

About my art:

Krita 5.2 + Huion Kamvas Pro 16

My "style" is inconsistent as fuck as I'm going to be experimenting a lot for improvement purposes

If you wish to use my art, I am fine with the following:

Profile pictures, profile backgrounds, device wallpapers (with credit provided somewhere easily accessible, if it's shown publicly)

Coloring uncolored lineart

Side Note 1: I would like to know about you using my work, but telling me isn't mandatory (provided you follow these rules)

Side Note 2: Almost all art posted has been heavily downscaled from the originals (about 3 times smaller), so they may look terrible in certain use cases. If you want the full res, reach out to me privately, I'll send it over if I'm confident that you won't misuse it

I am NOT fine with the following:

Commercial use of any kind

Feeding into AI generators

NFT nonsense

Modifications of any kind EXCEPT coloring plain lineart

Reposting anywhere, especially Tumblr. If you REALLY want to share my stuff, I'm flattered, but please use links instead...

[throwingawayathrowaways]

this isn't my fandom but this did cross my dash earlier. and i'm making a throwaway because i do not want to get involved in pro/anti discourse for what i hope are obvious reasons given the subject of this post.

i came back because i saw the rebuttal on twitter by chance. meaning that there are going to be other users who will never see this correction, never realize that these users are not actual predators, and these screenshots will have been saved and circulated by people uninvolved for years to come.

and i'm going to be blunt here: this is why antifandoms are bad.

you are essentially cultivating a space where all you do is rile each other up about how evil and awful other people are. you are setting yourself up to fly off the handle at any tiny bit of information that confirms your biases, as you showed here.

moreover:

The server they made the confessions in? (Aka the one I'm in?) That's an anti server. So Zex actually infiltrated our server, not the proshipper one like they claimed.

you have no idea who this person is, what they're capable of, what their pre-existing biases are. you have no idea if this account here was made just to "get dirt" on proshippers - why you're a-okay with people joining these spaces to spy on others is abso-fucking-lutely beyond me. i would ban anyone who gleefully confesses they barge into spaces that aren't for them to gather intel to harass others further down the line.

i'd also ban anyone who joins a server dedicated to hating other people doing absolutely nothing to them because it does inevitably lead to this.

moreover, why was your first response to make a callout post and not contact authorities? because they alleged a real child was involved here. a person was being accused of basically having fantasies about grooming their five year old cousin, a supposedly real human being they had access to, and the go-to was to report it to strangers on the internet? if they had been predators then there is a high, high, high chance that a callout post slamming into the internet would've given them time to cover their tracks and come up with a lie.

i am actually begging you to reconsider the spaces you're in and the behaviors they encourage, because this isn't a whoops! this is going to have ripples that are going to haunt these people. especially if you ended up just deleting the original post, because now screenshots are going to float around without context... forever.

this could have you up on criminal charges if the victims of this wanted to pursue them.

for your mental health and general well being? get out of anti spaces. go join spaces that are about things you love, not things you hate. you don't have to join "proshipper" spaces but jesus christ this is beyond the pale and should be a come to jesus moment, especially since people are saying this is not the first time you've done this.

The whole truth (and an apology)

Hey guys. It's me again.

Hoo boy, where do I even begin?

So, as you guys have noticed, the blog about Kurophiliac and puppyfan9000, I'd taken down.

And I'm going to cut to the chase.

Turns out the screenshots really were faked.

Let's start at the beginning, where we got that anonymous confession in the server I'd mentioned.

Basically someone (we'll get to them in a bit) confessed about the whole "proshipper server lusting after a real minor. They had screenshots and they wanted someone to make a callout because they were too scared to do so themselves.

Wanting to make myself useful, I immediately volunteered.

And so the person (named Zex) sent the screenshots.

And once I'd received those screenshots, I made that post asking people to report both Kurophiliac and puppyfan9000. I even included a cybertip report link.

That was a stupid thing for me to do. That was a very irresponsible and dangerous thing for me to do. And that is putting it mildly.

I didn’t think about questioning the information provided, I didn’t ask Zex why they didn’t want to post the callout themselves, I didn’t even think about contacting Kurophiliac and puppyfan9000 who were allegedly involved in this "incident."

I went straight to extreme measures to take action against two people I barely knew myself without investigating further.

I took things at face value. I truly wish I hadn't.

Because, as I've said at the beginning, the screenshots really were, in fact, faked.

See, Zex had some past beef with Plato (aka Kurophiliac) and made this whole story about them being a pedo in order to frame them and ruin their reputation.

When I'd made that post, they linked it and outright encouraged harassment of these two individuals. (Which is, honestly a really dick thing to do.)

And the thing about them "infiltrating a proshipper server?" That turned out to be a lie too. Because they were always a proshipper.

The server they made the confessions in? (Aka the one I'm in?) That's an anti server. So Zex actually infiltrated our server, not the proshipper one like they claimed.

So, Zex (or should I say froggyhorse) if you're reading this right now... well, I'm speechless. I mean, going as far as to deliberately frame someone else for something so serious? It doesn't even matter whether the person you're framing is a proshipper or not, if you're framing someone as a pedophile when they've committed no such atrocity? That's sickening no matter what your excuse is.

As for Kurophiliac and puppyfan9000, if you two are reading this right now, well, I'm truly sorry.

I'm sorry I jumped straight to conclusions based off someone else's words, without questioning that person's intentions.

I'm sorry I immediately assumed the worst of you guys without being the bigger person and handling this like a rational person would.

My intentions mean nothing because I ended up causing you both harm. Just because I was lied to doesn't mean I'm not completely blameless in this. I should've investigated the situation before taking action. I should've seen those rather obvious red flags in those edited screenshots as well as in Zex's behavior. I shouldn't have taken the word of some random fucker on the internet.

Whether or not you guys forgive me for this is completely up to you. I understand either way. We can go our own ways if you prefer. Either way, I hope you two are doing alright, after everything.

And that goes for the rest of you guys. Have a good day/night.

i just wish to reiterate the well known fact of vanitas' japanese translation being actually really bittersweet.

"it's my reason for being born. it is because i am darkness, that you both belong to the light, able to exist there. if that isn't 'working together' i don't know what is."

vs. the english version.

"because i am darkness. and i do stand by your side. i'm the shadow that you cast. how much closer could i be?"

it's not just a case of "lol i am darkness", but that's how the english version of the game makes it seem. it's a case of "because i am on this side, you get to be on that side". vanitas is jealous of ventus because HE is the one to be on the side of light, to have people that love and care for him. but he's resigned to his fate, he was created from the darkness in ventus' heart, and he knows that in the end, he doesn't belong in the realm of light.

but he doesn't want ven to know his jealousy. he's too prideful to accept help from anyone, especially ventus.

ventus: "there is no need to bother with who is with the light and who is with the darkness, i am me and you are you, it's fine to live freely the way we want."

vanitas: "freely? yeah, i am living freely... in this way."

vanitas HESITATES for a split second. he hears ventus basically asks him if he really wants to vanish into the darkness he was born from, and vanitas hesitates. he doesn't want to accept his other half's offer, he's too prideful.

ventus: "is living trapped in the darkness freedom to you?"

no, it isn't, but vanitas won't admit that. instead, his reply?

vanitas: "this is how i chose to live my life."

ventus: "i see."

vanitas doesn't say 'yes' to ventus, he DEFLECTS the question by saying "this is the life i live". he says 'chose', but he never got the choice. he was created because ven had the choice, he chose not to summon the 𝑥-blade. that's the reason vanitas was created in the first place, so it could be formed another way.

kingdom hearts at it's finest.

My #1 post of 2022

AITA for treating two 'children' like shit because i was jealous they were such good friends with my best friend?

(inspired by @goldensunset and @palizinhas)

Throwaway for obvious reasons.

So I (27m) and my friend 'L' (also 27m) were recruited into this cult of nobodies after forcefully having our hearts and bodies split. While we originally planned to use this to find a way to save our friend 'X' (18?F). However, as our newest members joined, let's call them 'R' (0M) and 'P' (0), L quickly abandoned me in favor of these kids.

Of course, I was rightfully upset, given the fact he forgot about the reason we were originally working for, and i tended to take that out on R and P.

R happens to be a special nobody with the ability to wield a special weapon, of a boy we'll call 'S' (16M). However, P was created to be a replica of S, so therefore it is not a person.

While I admit, my response to the two of them being friends was probably irrational, it doesn't change the fact that they were incompetent little brats who slacked on their missions and ran off to a nearby town at every possible opportunity.

So reddit, AITA for treating R and P like shit?

Edit 1: R and P were returned to S, as they held his memories and he was unable to wake up as a result of them existing. L is absolutely distraught.

Edit 2: The group I was in has been remade with certain different members, and I, along with my coworker 'V' (40M), plan on trying to create bodies for R, Xi ('P' doesn't really work for her anymore, as it was a derogatory name), and another nobody of a friend of S' called 'N' (0F). My idea is to cause Xi to remember L and R, in order to switch her to the side of light. While it means I have to get the shit beaten out of me, I'm sure it will be therapeutic for R and Xi. Thank you for reading.

Final Edit: We're a family now.
