#twatwaffle of the year

[fashionfotorecccluse]

twatwaffle (plural twatwaffles) (slang, derogatory) 

A contemptible person.

Who is YOUR twatwaffle of the year?

[devastatinglygreen]

Unpopular opinion (?) but I think the reason fans keep holding onto and misinterpreting the entrapment line is that a lot of them were still waiting for him to “grovel” for the S2 finale. When they didn’t get that, the entrapment line has become the new sin to prove he isn’t worthy of her. Pen forgives him easily for the things fandom holds against him the most. She does not disparage him for not returning her feelings or “leading her on” like fans and antis like to throw in his face. She tries to reaffirm her love for him after the entrapment line, clearly understanding why he would come to that conclusion. I know antis are gonna anti but I cannot for the life of me understand saying you support a ship while hating either half of that ship. Penelope and Colin are too sweet and sexy for that nonsense.

i know a lot of people wanted him to grovel and i do think the show went a little too far with that line in the form they used it for s2. i also think 2 years is a long time to make up headcanons and decide what you want to happen and holding it up as an expectation and it's very easy to get mad when those don't get met.

also the man can't lead her on, he has no idea she's got feelings for him?? he offers her an out on their engagement because he doesn't think she loves him ffs, how exactly do they think he was leading her on?

i never understood hating half of a ship tbh while proclaiming to like it. like, if you don't like half the ship why ship it? if you can't see what the character loves about the other, what are you even doing here? stan the character but leave me out of your bad takes about their other half, ha.

and frankly, just as much as the s2 line is something they took from the book, the entrapment thing is also an idea brought in from the books. it's over a LW paper mistakenly delivered during their engagement ball and colin alludes to her doing it on purpose so it's not like they're just pulling insulting ideas out of the air. so, there's that.

this idea that penelope would just run off or that colin is some sort of hateful, unworthy man because of things he says in anger is...wild. ha. like the girl was never going to leave that man:

now i do not think that show penelope ever meant to entrap him and i don't think even show colin thinks that, he really does just say some nonsense out of anger and hurt when pissed off sometimes. but even book penelope knows he's not going to call off the wedding:

and she does what she does anyway. the show is a different scenario, ofc, it's higher stakes and colin feels far more betrayed than book colin but they're both absolutely furious and terrified for what might happen to her over the situation.

don't complain about the show not bringing enough of the book if when they bring in book elements you're going to complain nonstop about them.😩

even the whole he struggles to stay mad at her thing. like, yes? that's a colin trait:

he does get morose and then he gets mad and then he's mad that he's mad and then he's mad that he's jealous. the man struggles over those emotions a fair bit. but like, he says one twatwaffle line after his trust is quite thoroughly betrayed by the woman he loves and he's supposed to be punished for forever? was there a committee? a trial? a jury?

i'm putting this down here because i don't think anyone will read this far, ha, but truly the angriest takes i've seen come out of this come off as incredibly immature tbh.

you're right tho, they are too sweet and sexy for that nonsense.

Whelp, my school year is literal hell and I can't bitch about it to my colleagues cause apparently people are running to tattle to my principal everytime someone says something off-color so I'm venting to the Faceless Internet.

I am going to develop bleeding ulcers this year and given that I spent the majority of my career teaching middle school that is SAYING something. So far this year we have:

Aides quitting left and right because our superintendent is in a standoff with them over a contract negotiations (sticking point is he wants contracts to be 29.5 hours because at 30 hours he has to offer healthcare because he's THAT kind of twatwaffle)

The brilliant idea to mainstream literally all students with special needs for all academic classes, regardless of how high support their needs are, resulting in one of my classes having ten kids with such extensive "alternative assignments" and "one on one instruction" IEP accommodations that my class is literally not long enough to fully service everyone's IEP (there are kids in my general ed reading class who don't know their ABC's...that is not hyperbole)

The introduction of a prescribed curriculum that is universally reviled in every school district using it nation-wide (HMH for anyone in the know). Like, I cannot find a single positive review of it. It's awful, and I can't even use it in one of my classes cause the reading levels are too low

And on top of all that, because so many aides have quit, we now have NO aides in my classroom because the two we DID have had to be shifted to another grade for students with physical disabilities. I have an intervention specialist that is supposed to be my co-teacher and take kids for specialized instruction for part of the class but she is so overwhelmed that she comes into my room every day on the verge of an anxiety attack and has to sit in the back of my room to "calm down" for at least half the class and then is constantly using the other half to get caught up on paperwork instead of, you know, helping me with instruction. And like...I cannot modify the content all the way down to teaching ABC's and phonics for the kids who need that instruction at the cost of the actual grade-level content for the kids who DON'T need that. So half my kids in that class aren't getting what they need, no matter what I do.

Admin is no help. But also, they're acting like we have no right to be upset about any of this and they can't believe we're complaining. I feel like that scene where the dude is like "Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave! With some scraps!" But THEY'RE NOT EVEN GIVING US THE FUCKING SCRAPS.

It's just so, so frustrating. And I'm ANGRY that they're throwing all this shit on us because this is the best group of kids. They're so wonderful and this should be SUCH a good year.

Twatwaffle? Um how about watching Michael on the Craig Ferguson Show where he talks about reading RPF himself and says he thinks of it as a tribute you absolute fuckstick.

Oh, because that doesn’t fit your narrative. What a shame.

One, the Craig Ferguson show hasn’t been on in ten years, ten years ago Michael and David didn’t even know each other lol.

its almost like fiction doesnt equal reality. I wanna go outside and see tony stark but thats not reality either. WISDOM IS CHASING YOU BUT YOU ARE FASTER

[mrstsung]

Vent:

Saw something that pissed me off royally.

If you don't want to hear me vent about people misinterpreting my blorbo. Plz keep scrolling. And if you dont like my venting. Plz ignore. I'll be back with kontent soon.

If any of You ever call shang tsung a twink again I'll rip your head off.

People really do not know the character and it shows.

Fuck this shit man.

Shang tsung is definitely and most certainly not a fucking damn twink. You twatwaffles!

He's a damn hunk. He's masc coded. And just because he carries himself courtly. Don't fucking mean he's a twink. Half of y'all misuse that word too damn much.

Also i personally hc shang not to give a fuck about that kinda shit. He does what he wants. Dresses how he wants. And doesn't care about superficial things that much. He has his preferences but overall a sorcerer that's been around for hundreds of years,decades even. Doesn't and shouldn't give a rats ass about gender,expression of it,sexuality,and superficial shit. He's a motherfuckin sorcerer man!

But in all seriousness,I'm sick of people misusing that word. And I'm sick of that being used as a meme. It was used by mlm queer circles. And people hijacking for funny haha purposes it kinda pisses me off. Especially when they don't even use it right.

There is nothing twink about shang tsung. Fuck off!

Shang tsung if anything is a bratty dom kinda man. Y'all don't seem to care about that type unless the character in question is white. But heaven forbid a moc let alone an asian male character ever is bratty,dom,and masculine. Y'all can't seem to handle that because weeb anime brainrot. Look I'm an anime fan as much as the next delinquent anime trash girl. But i have fucking standards and a brain to know that....MEN COME IN ALL KINDS?! just as women do. Anyways. Shang tsung is not a twink.

Shang can be princess if you want him to be but ffs he's not some fucking sad,uwu boi. He's not someone to be saved. He's a brat emperor and he fucking knows it. He thinks he's fucking hot stuff(and he is) and he's not someones bitch boy. He fucking hates that. Or did you forget that shao kahn fucking abused the sorcerer for decades?! Like im not saying shang with the right person wouldn't be open to the idea or role reversal and being in a sub position or even in a service way. Oh he loves it IF IT'S THE RIGHT PERSON. AKA HIS BELOVED. AKA YOU. but that will have to take some times and Building of trust. Because yeah. That fucking makes sense. Anyways....

I don't mind a sweet shang tsung. I dont mind domestic. I don't mind an au where he's the "good guy" but ffs don't erase his flavor and what makes him well him.

He can be soft sweet,fabulous and fluffy and cute and all that ish without resorting to calling him a twink. Characters are more complex than that. If you want a twink,kung jin exists.

The actual resident mortal kombat twunk ahem.. is johnny cage. So leave my man shang tsung alone from your fucking labels.

Dont ever call him that again.

Shang tsung is not a fucking twink

Shang is a fucking hunk. Twunk if any fucking thing. But overall even these labels dont fit him. He's mother fuckin fucking shang tsung,he does what he pleases! And has no time for labels. Again to me shang tsung doesn't use these types of things. He likes what he likes and loves who he loves. Why should he feel the need to? And if he wants you,he'll have you. But don't ever try to label him. Because you don't know him. And that's the point of his character. He's complex af and i love him for it!

Jiminy fucking Christmas on a pop tart.

My absolute brainless nincompoop of a five month old kitten went missing for two hours. They never wander far from me, but Éka is an escape artist with a fixation on the wet earth in the garden. I'll be shouting for him all over the house and finally find him sprawled lazily in the damp under a flower pot or in a bush. It's the only time he's quiet; otherwise he regularly echolocates wherever he is because he's 1) eternally dissatisfied with life and wants me to fix all his problems even when he doesn't know what they are, 2) his ADHD ass will follow a dandelion in the wind, and then panic when he realises he's all alone or he's climbed too high to get back down by himself.

This time though, the guy disappeared into thin air. We flung open all the cupboards, ripped apart the whole house, and my sister and the handyman we had in to repair the sink both went all around the house calling for him. Then I took their packet of kibble and walked my chronically ill, very fat ass all around the neighborhood, in Satan's own heat, yelling for little shithead. (Once following our dog, who was flattered but turned out to have no idea why I was stalking him, and once following our tomcat Kaha, who is usually vocally affronted by the kittens very existence, but turned out to have been yowling on general principle.)

Got home and collapsed in a puddle of sweat and misery, crying and hyperventilating for half an hour, only for the numbskull to wander in from the back of the house, yowling to remind me that it was lunch time and he hadn't been fed in one thousand years. Snatched him up to cover his idiot face in kisses and found he'd been investigating something interesting and stank like a hog. Immediately hauled all three of the brats into the bathroom and bathed all of us. We're now in each other's doghouses; the kittens damp, consternated and betrayed, their six collective braincells unable to fathom the reason for this cruelty, and I, flesh still sizzling like steak on a hibachi grill.

I've decided I need to 1) get some kind of religion, and 2) rename Éka. They say there are no atheists in fox holes, but being solidly unconvinced of divine intervention sucks worse when your idiot baby is missing. For the second, my former father in law, for all he is a twatwaffle, maintained that you should only name an animal something you can shout up and down the neighborhood without sounding like an asshat. This wisdom turned out to be pretty solid, because yelling for "That One! THAT ONE!" in Sinhalese* far and wide was quite embarrassing, panic notwithstanding. He's now going to be known as Mau-Mau, for his distinctive cry and chronic supplication to a higher power (me). It's what ancient Egyptians called cats, and they were really dead on about it. That there is definitely a Mau.

*The kittens' names are Éka, Méka and Moo, which in Sinhalese translates to That One, This One, and This One (emphatic, deragatory). Context:

(Five months ago.)

Mum: "Do not name them, because we're NOT going to keep them!"

Me: "Well, what are we supposed to call them meantime?"

Le Asshole, henceforth named Mau.

This is why you can't have a fucking conversation on TikTok. Christ.

Creator: I have seen people say Merlin is 16. He isn't, he is canonically 2 years younger than Arthur

Me in the comments: nah, he could totally be 16, his age is never specified

Other commenters: no he can't be. You are just infantilizing him because he isn't confident in season one (YOU CRETIN, YOU TWATWAFFLE. HE ISN'T WHAT IN SEASON ONE?????)

Creator, responding to my comment with a video: in the show they say he is 2 years younger than Arthur

Me, having no idea if that's true or not cuz I never seen it: source?

Creator answering with another video: just google it (I googled it. There is no source for the 2 years younger theory)

Commenters: "omg it's the same guy as before, he cannot give up", "I've seen this guy before, is he against Merthur or something?!", "just rewatch the show and correct yourself!"

Me, just trying to have a civil conversation about Merlin theories: Jesus fucking Christ these people are children

[lowkeyed1]

honest to god, if you depend on a single 2 hour debate (or even 3 of the fucking things) to help you decide who's gonna be a better president when you have MINIMUM four full fucking years of each guy's actions and policies to look at. aside from all biden's time as VP and a senator and all trump's time being a fucking obnoxious huckster, grifter, and twatwaffle, you are hopeless moron and i wish you wouldn't even vote.

Fucks part 2

Part 1 can be read here.

For those who don't want to read that part, here's what you need to know from that part:

I’ve been trying to work on my mental health and shit lately. Part of that includes doing a reread of a few books I own: Unfuck Yourself, the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck, and You Are a Badass. Not getting into detail about all of them, but one main point of the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck is actually choosing what to give a fuck about. It’s not saying be an indifferent asshole. It’s saying that you need to make your fucks count. Like, do you really need to give a fuck that some guy online thinks you’re weird? Not really. There’s no point. But should you give a fuck about that weird thing your back has been doing? Probably. See what I’m saying? My entire life I’ve given too many fucks about shit that I have no need to give a fuck about. What’s that gotten me? Anxiety. A lot of fucking anxiety.

Part 1 was written on my writing blog because it was all about writing.

Part 2 is being post on my "main" (that isn't used as much, but whatever) because it's not about writing.

Side note: If this is rambly...I've had a bottle of wine. So sue me. I'm a fucking adult.

I'm choosing to not give a fuck about social media. I've tried to make friends over the years on various social media sites. My three best friends, ironically, are back from when Tumblr allowed porn. Like, my oldest is about to be 15 and I've known them since he was still chubby type of deal.

For awhile posting/replying on most social media sites gave me a mass amount of anxiety. "What if they think I'm annoying?" "What if they roll their eyes every time I reply to them?" etc. My mind is my own worst enemy.

Fast forward to this past month or so. I said "fuck it!". I've been replying. I've been retweeting. I've signed up for OTHER social media sites. I've been posting. Basically, I've been using SM like you're supposed to. And it's really no different.

I still rarely get replies (and 99.9% it's always the same 1-2 people and I adore them for that!). I still rarely get my comments/replies acknowledged. I'm over here trying to connect with people and feeling like Roxie's husband from Chicago. Mr(s). Cellophane.

One on hand? Awesome, my anxiety wasn't warrented. No one is being a dick. Cool!

On the other? It's...awkward. You know that feeling when you're in a group, you start talking, and then someone talks over you? So you just slowly...stop talking? And no one notices. Kinda gives me that vibe.

Plus, it's a cesspool. No matter how much I try to get rid of seeing bigots/hate/stupid fighting? It doesn't do shit. Which, I'm glad people I follow stand up to twatwaffles. I am. However, when everything boils down to black and white? It's fucking PATHETIC! No one can post anything without someone jumping down their throat, and then others dogpiling on them. I don't mean valid things like bigotry (but even then if someone miss speaks and then tries to apologize? People never give them a change to do better. You fuck up ONCE and you're done). I mean silly things/things that have no bearing on life itself.

It's all one big popularity contest.

The pretty girls. They can recycle posts from other people/only post pictures of themselves and people trip over themselves to talk to them. I'm not faulting them, either. I'm a sucker for a pretty woman, too!

The shit talkers. You know exactly who I'm talking about. The loud ones who will get in on any and all drama. You can't recall any "happy" posts by them. They're like trainwrecks. You just can't look away.

Those two are the ones I've noticed the most lately. I know there are other catagories, but I'm watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and it's really hard not to make 3: The Fire Nation.

I wasn't popular in high school, and nothing about that has changed. And it's not like I want to be popular. Just...welcome? Accepted? I don't know.

I'm just not gonna try anymore. I'll hop on now and then. I'll like a few things that catch my eye. I'll post random things. But I'm kinda over it. Not over it enough to just delete everything, because I need somethingt to scroll while I wait for my food to cook lmao.

That, and I have a social media experiment planned for October. I have a spread sheet and everything (how often I post per social media account- twitter, bluesky, threads, facebook, how many likes I get on each, and how many replies. Shares don't count, only OG posts by me). I see me forgetting about this after a week, though. That's how my things usually go. I just like averages and shit. They make me happy.

So, yeah.

That's where I'm at.

[mothnem]

@legend-as-old-as-time lol. Hit post limit again.

Yep! Treatment can help lessen the worst of it, but it will be something Matoro lives with the rest of his life. So he works more in warmer climates now then the usual Ice Toa.

Oh that is where it gets fun. Gorast only finds out Teridax is dead AFTER the Toa save Mata Nui. She is enraged because she was loyal to Teridax. She can't kill him. The back door isn't set up like that. But she CAN.... remove him if she has a suitable place to put Mata Nui. And the Mask of Life fits that bill. She doesn't care what is going to happen. All she wants is for the Toa and the Order of Mata Nui to SUFFER (and LOSE).

More or less because the Karda Nui Makuta are already in place for their part. The point of time between Teridax's death and the Karda Nui Battle is just a short decade or so. Which is nothing compared to hundreds of years. And news of the assumed death never reached their ears.

Yep. Wondering if anything they did was real, any of the sacrifices they made was even worth it. Did Lhikan die for no reason? Was everything preordained? Did anything they did even matter?

Yep! Of course upon finding that that Teridax ISN'T dead but won't be bothering them, the refugees are nervously relaxing. It does help that the local Toa bested him once. They can do it again. Right?

And than they meet the Piraka, or in the words of Harkak, "the biggest pricks you are ever going to have the Misfortune of meeting. Absolute twatwaffles. All of them."

He would if he could. But he can't. There is a reason the Rahi haven't been blocked. So the Matoran also know of "traveling traders and merchants" that check up on them and help when the Rahi are too difficult.

Harkak: Skakdi I just made up at the time of this posting. Very little is known about him because I just made him up. He might not even be a He!

[nice-bright-colors]

This afternoon’s call,

well I guess I really didn’t want to do that 510 key hotel room renovation this year anyway. Sigh. Maybe next year.

The after call informed me that I’ll know probably in the next couple of weeks what I will be working on this year. Capital Improvement projects should be finalized before the quarterly call for investors. Otherwise, it’s going to be…

“$10 for a bj, $12 for a hj, and $15 for a zj; if you have to ask big man, you can’t afford it”

Let’s all hope I’m going to work on some things that require air travel. Your guy here has been out of his mind without any business travel since whenever it was I last went.

Takeout burgers and fries for dinner tonight because we punted, and nobody got cunty.

Odd 13 Brewing (8.6 miles away), The Waffler Imperial Breakfast Stout to go with it. Because why not, I like waffles….

American waffle. Brussels waffle. Toaster waffle. Twatwaffle. Pizzelle waffle cookies. The Stroopwafel.

What a prick to blame everything on the minor and bring up irrelevant ass information.

Genuinely fuck you LOL.

even if veal was also venting in the server that had a 14 year old in, theyre right in saying its a lot different than using a general vent channel vs going into the dms of the person and using them as a crutch for your mental health to the point they have to make sure you go to class. this is also more evidence that there were minors in dangerous positions. if veal was using the vent channel, whos to say the adults in the server werent too? weird all around.

Ok, this next story requires introducing a new character, so let’s quick go over the dramatis personae of my blog, mostly because naming these peeps amuses me! Maybe I’ll link this in my intro post or something.

New! Hat Guy: my friend from college. Known for his wool hat, love of Mountain Dew, and skill in robotics and rocketry

Roommate Who Knows my Tumblr: roommate, friend, and Tumblr artist. She got me into Fire Emblem and knows my secrets

Roommate Who does not Know my Tumblr: a giant golden retriever of a man. Blissfully ignorant of Tumblr, my secrets, and until recently, the word twatwaffle

My bosses: There’s four of em, kinda; check here

My Baby Cousins: several of them are 18 now. However, they are several years younger than me, so they are babies in my heart. Hiya cousins!

Mom, Dad, and Younger Brother: exactly who it says on the tin. Mostly, they’re great

Bluejay von Germanname: that’s me! I’m pretty fucking neat

[mystical-blaise]

Okay, so I've been pretty quiet on socials lately, but I'm pissed off. There are times like these where I wish I could be shocked by the audacity and behavior in the fandom, but today is not one of them because, once again, that a particularly gross sect of Elriels decided to fish for content on Ao3 to make fun of for their own jollies and likes.

Really? That's all you've got going on?

Also, psst... The fact that you immediately had such a visceral reaction to a title that you claim is yours is possibly the dumbest, most insecure thing I've ever heard. Because it's not only "Elriel" canon. But if you are going to be a bunch of whiny, pathetic twatwaffles, guess you should stop using "a thing of secret lovely beauty" in all of yours because that's technically necklace and Gwyn related canon since it wasn't about Elain at all. That's "ours." Should I go through every fic and comment and then post it to make fun of? Do you see how completely stupid and deranged that sounds?

You probably don't, but it is. Absolutely, completely unhinged.

Fuck me, a new year is about to begin and the SJM fandom is still, years later, dealing with these miserable sacks of crap. Jesus, find a better damn hobby than being just completely awful. 🤷 To them I say Happy New Year, pound sand, cry into your Franzia, and go fuck yourselves.

[coffee-obsessed-writer]

Um, what?

Blah blah everyone has problems, we do not broadcast them on social media. Say hi to bitch at for me. After 19 years the bitch is still around. 

I got this in my inbox as an anonymous submission…

But… okay. 

#1 Yes, everyone has problems. It sucks. But that’s life. All we can do as human beings is try and be empathetic and not add to said people’s problems.

#2 The entire internet consists of people broadcasting their problems on the internet. Whether you like it or not, it is their free will to do so. You can just keep scrolling. And yes, you can use your own free will to send weird anon submissions, or comment threads to berate that person for sharing their problems. That just makes you a twatwaffle.

#3 “Say hi to bitch at for me” …I… I don’t know how to respond.

And, finally, #4 To which bitch are you referring? I know a lot. 

If, for some chance, this was supposed to be a submission for a fic, well, without more context I cannot help you.

But, I suspect that it was a random person just trying to spread some more toxic love on this hellsite. To which I say…
