#not a vent just a journal entry (feel free to scroll past; there is no snz here and this is also not that interesting)#realizing now that i never thought of myself as#someone whose absence would register to others in any other way than just neutral/detached recognition?#phrasing this really badly and i am truly going to delete this later bc it is embarrassing LOL#i think when i was young and posting all this fic into questionable places (the f*rum) i was like#(@ an unfinished work of mine) no way anyone could be bothered by these cliffhangers 👍 they can just imagine the ending#even though i would frequently be bothered by other people's cliffhangers. that exact same principle just wouldn't apply to me in my head#and when i did not respond to people i was like.. i'm sure i wasn't really an important part of their lives so they won't mind it#if i stepped away?#i never really entertained the concept of people missing me or looking forward to my responses 😭 i never thought of myself as someone worth#missing... so when i disappeared it was always with little to no sense of guilt. i think even now i struggle with#seeing myself as someone that inhabits like a tangible enough space in other people's lives that my absence would be felt#(and i don't mean that in a morbid way. and i do recognize that it's quite hypocritical)#on the flipside of things i frequently miss people and look forward to their responses. and sometimes i wonder like#do they all know? do they all know that i miss them because they somehow understand this aspect of human nature better than i do?#or are they in the dark like i am? are these things assumed or are they only known when they are said... 😭#i am a little bit of a coward so i am not saying anything (also because can you even say this kind of thing to someone??#i would probably die of embarrassment) but#how strange it is to have someone suddenly inhabit a space in your life that is substantial enough that#when they're gone you feel that space open up and you miss them#the few times in my life people have conveyed that sentiment to me i remember feeling puzzled that my presence could have that kind of#weight to them. i think my problem is that i purposefully do not read between the lines if the conclusion is something favorable towards me#because i don't want to bank on something good that might or might not be true 😭 anyways this is way too long already. if you read this#then good morning or goodnight

anyways wish regis was there when geralt screamed for the entire druidic forest to hear that he was his przyjaciel.
Sylwia of Warsaw: 'Przyjaźń is an intimate relationship even though platonic, so boasting of it to strangers is like boasting of sex.'
in context of how regis was like 'eheheh? 🥺 friend?? [shyly tucks hair behind ear]' when geralt even just called him druh in private, in the darkness... under the earth, amidst rock and stone where not another soul, where absolutely no one else could hear them.
- Możesz liczyć - odrzeka poważnie Geralt. - Nie zostawię cię w potrzebie. Druhu. Wampir uśmiechnął się, a ponieważ byli sami, pełnym garniturem kłów. - Druhu?
that geralt yelled aloud in the daylight not just that they are friends, but close friends, to the flaminika, actually to anyone within earshot...
- Jestem Geralt… Wiedźmin… Przyjaciel Emiela Regisa… - Powtórz, bo nie dosłyszałam. - Geraaaaalt! Przyjaciel wampiiiiira!
i mean, regis would intuit, he would know that geralt was only emphasizing their friendship (and kind of lying because they haven’t known each other long at all) to save their skins from the ent, but... at the same time. logic doesn't overwrite fact. and the fact was geralt screaming under torture that they are very close
#imagine regis and cahir following geralt horseback and they just got close enough#for regis (very good hearing) to be able to just make out geralt yelling that lol#regis clutching draakul's reins white-knuckled LOL and cahir asking him why he's blushing#i know im talking about friendships but so people can find it#geregis#the witcher books#c: geralt#c: regis#book: tower of the swallow#book: lady of the lake#excerpt#s: the anthropomorphism speaks through me#this very scene being the origin of that tag i use for them lol#i love the good ol' back and forth of a phrase being exchanged#and the very brief way the question about 'human identity' crops up between the elves regis and geralt... sounds like a bad joke#well avallac'h emiel regis and geralt of rivia walk into a bar...

I'm not an extrovert. At all. In everyday life, I'm a yapper, sure, but I need someone to first assure me I am okay to yap, so I don't start conversations, even when I really want to join in sometimes! It's just the social anxiety acting up. God knows where from and why I lose a lot of my inhibitions when it comes to talking to people about music. I don't know where the confidence has suddenly sprung from. I've made a crazy amount of friends in musical circles, either just talking to people about common music or (since it is after all in music circles) talking to bands about their own music. I let out a sigh of relief any time an interaction goes well, because in truth it's going against my every instinct. I wish I could do that in everyday life
#like that's the point where we need to remind everyone around me that as much as I say#radio is 'a job'-- it's not 'my job' lol. I wish I was this interested in data science#but like. Honestly?? I'm not even a data scientist!? I answered a few questions about classical AI having come from a computer science back#background and now people are saying to me 'I know you're a data scientist and not a programmer' sir I am a computer scientist#what are you on about#and like I guess I get to google things and they're paying me so I'm not complaining but like I am not a data scientist#my biggest data scientist moment was when I asked 'do things in data science ever make sense???' and a bunch of data scientists went#'no :) Welcome to the club' ???????#why did I do a whole ass computer science degree then. Does anyone at all even want that anymore. Has everything in the realm of#computer science just been Solved. What of all the problems I learned and researched about. Which were cool. Are they just dead#Ugh the worst thing the AI hype has done rn is it has genuinely required everyone to pretend they're a data scientist#even MORE than before. I hate this#anyway; I wish I didn't hate it and I was curious and talked to many people in the field#like it's tragicomedy when every person I meet in music is like 'you've got to pursue this man you're a great interviewer blah blah blah'#and like I appreciate that this is coming from people who themselves have/are taking a chance on life#but. I kinda feel like my career does not exist anymore realistically so unless 1) commercial radio gets less shitty FAST#2) media companies that are laying off 50% of their staff miraculously stop or 3) Tom Power is suddenly feeling generous and wants#a completely unknown idiot to step into the biggest fucking culture show in the country (that I am in no way qualified for)#yeah there's very very little else. There's nothing else lol#Our country does not hype. They don't really care for who you are. f you make a decent connection with them musically they will come to you#Canada does not make heroes out of its talent. They will not be putting money into any of that. Greenlight in your dreams.#this is something I've been told (and seen) multiple times. We'll see it next week-- there are Olympic medallists returning to uni next wee#no one cares: the phrase is 'America makes celebrities out of their sportspeople'; we do not. Replace sportspeople with any public professi#Canada does not care for press about their musicians. The only reason NME sold here was because Anglophilia not because of music journalism#anyway; personal

what if we held on to whatever we get the idea of as Normal as unquestionable & think all you can do to this normal is apply some veneers overtop it to be more polite & also resent that. maybe we could project that everyone who seems to be Annoyingly Disruptively doing more than this must be putting on a performance to look good &/or humor others b/c that's all we ever believe we're doing, & again, we resent even that much....maybe we could use our show of More Polite language to make the same points blaming everyone who our Normal mistreats for their own mistreatment
#perhaps we could lecture autistic people on their; ah; Lacking Social Skills or Intelligence. it's just matter of fact#completely neutral what Annoys those who do well enough when thrown into any group settings; completely neutral how they React#like yeah can't possibly take issue w/anything Acceptable to Encouraged in the realm of even ''successful'' ''normal'' social interactions#infinite ''smh this is why nobody takes ableism seriously'' like oh you mean b/c of the ableism? is why you don't take it seriously?#infinite ways of phrasing that everyone alleged so Annoying With It is just like you but someone actively Putting On An Act too much#all it can possibly be. just as someone's Anti Ableism would be knowingly ''humoring'' / ''tolerating'' an autistic person e.g.#ah you see to this Person Who Identifies As Nonbinary's face i will try to mostly use Their Preferred Pronouns. that's that done#but it's sooo annoying. what's next; multiple &/or changing pronouns? god even worse. so Inflicted Upon my correct norm#if i'm not feeling actively malicious & devious in how i treat someone i am surely as righteous as it gets#having to improve on perfection by occasionally feeling Put Upon to perform politeness around some individuals? ughhh#that's why it's actually illegitimate. shouldn't have to be Put Upon like that. (finding the norm Questionable? out of the question Lol)#shocked ppl report that casual usage of the r word is having a revival. by shocked i mean [already clear ppl didn't care abt that]#& again just the current ''polite'' rephrasing of ableism like oh um :) disabled ppl are just a Specific kind of unintelligent & unskilled#& unprofessional & incompetent & a harmful scourge :) & maybe if they learned to be otherwise they wouldn't be punished :)#just formalized ABA vs the less formalized ABA huh. & the [the Real ableism] it ostensibly is to be saying all this i'm sure#something something not a real ally if they encourage behavior that will Make other ppl treat you badly. helpless neurotypicality :(#just as the ppl saying ableism is baked into terms & phrases used casually well beyond the [bad but lol guess not That Bad r word]#were definitely the ones Advancing Ableism by annoyingly overdoing the Polite Veneer you imagine they were Demanding#(rather than a more thorough questioning of language & accepted ''norms'' in pointing out the logics in their usage / basis)#simultaneously as being too much to ask it was also always so Frivolous as to not be worth the apparently infinitesimal effort#hmm guess we'll never solve the contradictions there....#not even with the ''openly saying 'see? i don't take ableism seriously & now it's Your Fault b/c i saw this & scoffed at it''' clues#& a final shoutout to the classic ''it's called being Realistic'' language in this & wherever else relevantly applied lol. we could go on

Ok, be honest with me. We're all friends here, right? Besides, nobody is going to see what you answered, so tell the truth.
I'm very curious to get a glimpse of the behind-the-scenes culture of Writeblr. Thanks for participating!
#This isn't passive-aggressive I promise#I just want to see if I'm alone#I don't care if you read my stuff or not I'm posting anyway lol#writing#writeblr#writeblr discourse#writers on tumblr#writing community#that question's grammar is killing me but I don't know a better way to phrase it

heya I saw your post about the femslash weekend. do you maybe have a list of which characters are allowed?
Hey! Any ship that includes characters from The Sandman, where both characters in the main ship of the fanwork are women, is a ship that we want to celebrate in the event!
Some characters, such as Lucifer, have more flexible gender interpretations in canon. Female interpretations of Lucifer are welcome in the event. Gender is a broad and fluid spectrum, so gender nonconforming traits/pronouns/etc. are welcome for all characters. We want to acknowledge that it’s possible for a character to use pronouns other than “she/her” and to identify as a woman. It’s also possible for characters to simultaneously identify as women and with another/other gender identities. All interpretations are wonderful, and we want the event to be inclusive and have room for differing character interpretations. So long as the fan work in question focuses on femslash, we want it to feel welcome in the event!
Aside from those particulars for the characters in the main ship of the fanwork, any side characters are welcome!
~ Mods Honey and Sunbreak 💖
#asks#ask tag#I hope this answers your question!#yumidelight#sorry this took so long lol#we're trying to be very thoughtful abt phrasing because like i said in the tags to a similar ask#we want characters with flexible gender interpretations to be included but like. not in a way where it seems like we're lumping in#all nb identities with womanhood because we know that's not the case#there can be overlap between womanhood and other genderqueer identities for some people!!#and for other people their genderqueer identities are entirely separate from womanhood#and we want to respect that

"this house is so full of ghost activity!!"
the house:
#my post#im still on my skeptic shit#ill never stop being on it#these people really go into houses and buildings that are at least 100 years old and go 'wow! theres so many noises!'#or 'the temperature just dropped holy shit'#or 'woah why is this thing swaying lightly on its own!/this item shifted!'#as if old buildings arent made the way they were back then and also as if they werent heavily used by the time this happens lol#'listen to this recording! it sounds like [word or phrase!]' the recording in question: [see image]#sometimes i can KINDA hear what they hear but if i dont see what word they think it was. it literally sounds like a shuffle or wind or like#someone maybe just breathing slightly too loud LOL#i will say that the latest ghost investigation video i watched did have one of these that did sound like a person talking more than like#almost every other example ive ever heard. but get this: i still think it was fake#because tbh. i still think they faked a few things in that video to make it more interesting. and it was just a whisper so#so it didnt sound like a particular voice. it just sounded like anyone whispering#and couldve been said by one of them or edited in later#cause iirc they didnt react to it in the moment. only in editing#sooo anywayyy

openly weeping at the idea of someone genuinely hating soul punk.
#like it makes sense obviously that people would. i guess. but i thought most people who didn't like it just didn't like#it because they didn't like patrick all that much or it was too different or they were just upset about fob's hiatus.#like idk i feel like calling patrick's lyricism bad is a little unfair.#like not to compare 2 bad bitches but he's right there. so pete writes comparatively just as cheesy lyrics.#i like that. don't get me wrong. 'cheesy' as a compliment. but like. patrick's lyrics r 2 cheesy 4 u? the fob fan?#like yes he uses a fash buzzphrase in 'dance miserable.' but i am almost certain he didn't think through the implications of it#and 'people never done a good thing' has like. weird liberal ableism in it. but that one was a bonus track and once again reads#very much like something he just. didn't think about very hard. still bad. but it's better than him doing it on purpose.#especially given how much of soul punk actually is actively trying very hard 2 be progressive and the former within the context of the song#reads more as overly cynical than like. actually fash. but he should've phrased it in a non fash-y way. yes.#it reminds me of the 'manifest destiny' line in 'high hopes' by panic actually.#like that's a buzzphrase that they totally didn't think through at all and that's. bad. really bad.#but it's also kinda funny given how liberal democrat these bands and ppl tend to try to come off.#like nobody caught that in 'high hopes?' all those writers in the room and nobody caught that?#was it like a 'maybe someone else will say something' '*crickets*' kinda sitch on that one bc. lol. lmao even.#i hope the white liberal guilt sits with them on that one.#but i digress. soul punk. that's two songs (including one bonus track) with a questionable lyric each.#otherwise both perfectly fine songs.#that being said yeah. sometimes the cynical liberal stuff grates on even me a little at times. like i feel it i really do and i think#patrick makes some important points but it's so bitter. even when he's writing *more about relationships it's just like damn dude.#(*asterisk because everything is political.)#AND I GET WHY. obviously. patrick is just like that a little bit and he was Going Through It. more relevant on truant wave tbh#because i think that mindset works better on soul punk.#i could understand the cynicism maybe tanking somebody's opinion of soul punk but it doesn't really bother me enough to alter my score.#also i understand it's the best song on the album but idk about ppl saying cryptozoology as a single. doesn't totally defeat#the purpose of the song and it would've also been powerful as a single#but it's just such a beautiful Fuck You to have it as a hidden track.#patrick stump#myevilposts

some of you need to learn to be less personally offended by writers saying “canon is just the things that explicitly happen in the show/book/movie”
#can’t believe i’m defending n*il g*iman i don’t even like the guy’s books and i have a tumblr vendetta against him#i genuinely don’t know much about him as a person except that he married am*nda p*lmer and therefore has extremely questionable judgment#so despite how much this website loves to throw the term parasocial around i have no parasocial attachment to him i just care about facts#but i just read two blog posts of his (including a pre-tumblr one)#that people linked as ‘proof’ of him being homophobic to aziraphale/crowley shippers before the tv show came out#and they were literally just. completely reasonable posts saying ‘the text of the book does not say that they’re in a relationship#and things i say online or in interviews should not be taken as canon and neither should popular fan interpretations’#i think people were mad because he phrased it as ‘making things up’? but in context it clearly wasn’t meant as an insult#it was just a way to differentiate ‘things that are explicitly in the text’ and ‘things that you have to use your imagination for’#at no point did he say anything bad about shippers he just said that it wasn’t textual canon in the book. which is objectively true lol#and even then the more recent post was like ‘it’s not book canon but tv canon is different’ like he literally was supporting it lmao#idk maybe i’m not offended bc i’m not a shipper#but i really think you’ve gotta read those posts in the absolute worst faith possible to interpret them as homophobic/anti-shipper

#saw the phrase 'your future husband' and got ticked off#every time#and I can't really articulate why#it's something about...it feels like you're in a holding pattern?#just waiting?#very 'when will my life begin?' kind of feeling#and I know the ladies here know how annoying that is#I dunno I know I've already complained about this same subject lol#but I was raised (at least on my mom's side of things) not to buy into the whole soulmate thing#mom doesn't even say 'my husband is my best friend'#she sees that entire relationship as something else#they're a partnership. a team.#and it's a choice#a choice they both make every single day (sometimes every hour...) and a commitment they renew all the time#I don't believe there is 'one perfect mate' as Henry in Ever After puts it#I believe you can meet a person who is your equal and who shares your goals and values (hopefully) and things line up and#*and you agree to do life together#(which is why I don't necessarily have anything against arranged marriages if the two people involved consent to it)#(that's a different subject but in a solid community the people arranging it would know the marriage works in some way)#(hopefully because they know the people in question and how they would complement each other)#so this whole 'my future spouse' feels like it's setting up these impossible expectations which leads to disappointment OR compromise#(I also never made a list of qualities I would want in a husband so maybe it's just me)#(ok I have a small list but it's not the kind teenage girls generally make)#seriously were things better back when there were fewer options?? sgkhdgkh;aga genuine question#this isn't fish in the sea this is a salmon farm#ok I'm done

I swear to God the most confusing thing in the world for my autistic brain is hearing redundancy when I'm not expecting it. Like it would be harder for me to comprehend the sentences "the sky is blue. Blue is the color of the sky. *next topic*" than it would be if you just explained the entire chemical makeup of every gas in the atmosphere
#this one of the main reasons i was so bad at math#too many people giving answers to questions i wasnt ever asking#and phrasing them in different ways every time ;-; please for the love of god be consistent#i actually love math but HATE the way its taught#oh that and i cant focus long enough to count lol#and its very confusing for me to do certain things like subtraction or division#because i frequently get the order that theyre supposed to go in confused#like the difference between 12 -14 and 14 -12 is difficult for me to distinguish without thinking about it reaaaally hard#...i may be dyslexic#idk if thats a symptom of dyslexia or not but it feels like it is

yk what i just realized?
i accidentally wrote pandora with a slightly altered version of my issues pvnjkdml
i noticed it but not All of it
#haunted ecosystem#i forget sometimes that the way *i* think it's the norm and thusly i'll write characters that follow my thought patterns and well.#you wind up with a lot of paranoia lol#like i knew i unintentionally made pandora autistic-coded but yeah i also mightve given him the paranoia & delusions & hallucinations too#though the latter was partially influenced it was still like. organic ig? thats terrible phrasing.#unrelated but why is it so hard to find more. non-specific paranoia positivity posts#like i know its a symptom but cmon.#anyways what if i wrote a fic and actually posted it anon. what if i wrote the fic ive been itching to write since the thought came to me#its not even like. questionable. im just afraid of opinions bc it involves a lot of projecting onto a typically 'strong' character#sigh. i probably will write it. probably wont post it.#maybe i'll finish that one fic thats rotting in my docs from the year before last when i last hit rock bottom lol#okay anyways enough talking to myself in the tags#ily whoever reads this i hope you have a good day and please remember its okay to ask for help when you need it. dont be like me

I find it funny that I've been using Duolingo for 200+ days but I still wouldn't really recommend it to most people lol
#i went in with prior spanish knowledge so that helped me#and ever since they removed the discussions it basically demolished the learning experience#I can't find out why something is structured the way it is from people willing to explain it on that question#luckily i follow spanishskullduggery (sp?) on here so that helps#but Duolingo cannot be your main source of learning bc u will end up confused if you're a newbie imo#i am a little hesitant to learn other non romance languages bc duo does not teach you nuance#i.e. it doesn't actually explain 'para' can be used for explicitly or to imply the phrase 'in order to'#i had to find that out from the discussions#i am shocked that one of the most integral parts of learning a language (doing so with other people) was taken away#sab rambles#sab speaks#my brain works well enough with Duolingo but mine is not everyone else's#hence the hesitation in recommendation#anyway im off to do another lesson lol
