#vague rambles

The mortal kombat fandom has honestly gotten so fucking toxic and I'm sick of it. I'm sick of having to constantly block people for spouting terf and homophobic shite, sick of seeing queer representation being erased/retconned and sick of the nasty comments being left stating that people like me shouldn't be allowed in mainstream media, that we're a fetish and corrupting people.

It's just so fucking upsetting because I grew up with this series, Mileena has always been one of my absolute favourite characters and I was delighted in MKX and 11 when she was heavily hinted as being in a relationship with Tanya, then we got MK 1 where we got barely any scenes with them, no chemistry at all and then the dlc is released where Tanya is married to Rain and has way more screen time and relationship development with him. It's so stupid and just bad writing overall. Sektor and Cyrax were even gender flipped purely to be the love interests of Bi-Han and Takeda, which is also incredibly stupid. And then some idiots have the gall to say; "Finally, straight pairings for a change, I'm sick of all the gays ruining our games."

It is the biggest load of shite I've ever read in my life and I'm genuinely so upset by this. I am not a fetish, I am not something gross that ruins video games/movies/shows and I shouldn't have to scrape at the bottle of the barrel to see myself in mainstream media. It's ridiculous that big studios cater to the bigots because they're overgrown toddlers who throw tantrums if they don't see white/cis/straight people take up the screen 24/7.

My cross stitch game keeps showing me ads for a product that seems to be 'Smart' digital breast pumps (not sure of specifics bc I have the sound turned off).

Which, yeah, not directed specifically at me which means my habit of giving nonsense answers on those little polls they sometimes offer so they can direct ads at people is working, cool.

But like;

That is SO CREEPY tho. Why would you ever want a SMART BREAST PUMP. What in the world is going on in this process that makes data collection and the potential selling of this info to third parties worth it? *baffled face*

IDK maybe I'm being paranoid but this seems like something that could be used against you, if you use it, like period tracker apps and other reproductive health things that companies have been cheerfully handing over to cops.

So does anybody else ever think about how Loop felt the need to demonstrate that the party's deaths wouldn't have any effect on the loops. I know I do but that's besides the point. Anyway I don't think Loop actually needs to bathe, they just like to feel included.

reading chainsaw man and trying to piece together theories makes me feel like an insane person. like no yeah totally pochita is actually the birth devil and reze is coming back and aki isn't actually dead and its all because of this one slight detail in the background and its all going to culminate in one big story about trauma. meanwhile no one has fucking mouths in the manga right now

love how when you're getting into/observing a fandom you barely know you can judge which episodes are The Most because every other fanfic is about them. what happens in Our Man Bashir guys. whats Doctor Bashir I Presume guys. whats Internment Camp 371. guys.

ok i swear i'm not going to talk about my breakup forever but the thing that just keeps bothering me:

i know that not getting what you need in a relationship is a COMPLETELY valid reason to end it but also. i feel like having a very vulnerable moment where i opened up about my struggles with intimacy and being relieved that i didn't have to keep doing things i wasn't comfortable with, then being dumped a YEAR later because of my lack of intimacy. is something i should be allowed to be very hurt by???

I've been debating whether or not to make a separate art blog or a discord server for art and ocs

Let me know if you'd be interested in either one

I feel like this blog needs to be tidier

somewhere in los angelese frank just bought a swimming pool for the house and when his husband asks how they'll afford it all he says is "eddie diaz"

this was drawn a little over 2 weeks ago as i was in the middle of act 2! it's kind of funny in retrospect hahaha i put the star shaped light on sif as a nod to my vague theory that sif had a star for a heart/soul but lost it. Well it wasn't quite right but there was one line of dialogue going towards that direction? a win is a win

[racmune]

hello everyone! i am normal about this!

I can't get over that last scene from this episode. that long pause where sam was quietly grabbing a drink and you could barely hear celia talking to jack as she put him to bed in the other room. nothing was happening in that moment that needed to be recorded. no terrible events no big revelations. just sam and celia quietly going about their lives, sharing a domestic moment.

as something watched and listened. and we don't know why it's listening.

something something, What if Pheobe had ranted to Ray about her being fired from being a Ghostbuster and how unfair it is and how angry and hurt she is because she knows ghostbusting better than the other, she is smarter than them, she gets the tech the best, whilst Ray looks fondly and sympathetically, before talking about a time where Egon was banned from groundwork because his aim was so bad, and he too got angry and ranted at the others about how unfair and stupid that is, something something
