#while trying to avoid That Word
Explore tagged Tumblr posts

"nooooo we can't use that word, that word doesn't exist and if it did it comes with too many implications, instead we have to dance around That Word by explaining it with whole paragraphs about how this systemically oppressive gender dichotomy does indeed also oppress the privileged demographic in a wide variety of ways but also includes at minimum half a dozen caveats that it's not That Word because That Word Is Bad And Means Bad Things"
I know this is a take no one asked for and might get me hunted for sport but I think maybe it's time we had a discussion about and possibly even allowed ourselves to use the word "misandry"
#no women do not systemically oppress men#no the patriarchy isn't women's fault#yes the patriarchy hurts men too#yes anyone of any gender can participate in enforcing strict gender roles and dehumanization#but we trip ourselves into knots trying to explain how and why patriarchy hurts men too#while trying to avoid That Word#when it could very easily be used to shortcut all of that#it's not rEvErSe SeXiSm it's just toxic masculinity and systemic bias#primarily against queer men+mascs and MoC#but still... men#and the ways men and the system in general hurts them#and expects them to be Peak Man and uncaring and unfeeling and uncomplicated

i don't think the trial story is tasteless; it's reality. i was there for the whole herd-depp fiasco. this is how people are. i think anon is conflating characters in a story with the person writing lmao.
i think anon comes with a point that i'd definitely thought about before, but i think the way I'm personally going about it vs the way it could be explored/meme'd/sensationalised/scandalised are quite different. I don't really want to talk about this too much or knock that anon down for what they were saying, so I probably won't post much more about it unless it's some genuine criticism or thoughts on the trial posts themselves!!
#i hope that makes sense#and doesn't seem like i'm trying to avoid this conversation#i just don't want it to become a dog pile on that anon#while i think they could've worded their point better i understand where they're coming from#i just don't think it necessarily applies to those posts in particular#or is entirely relevant to me#but again i'm always open to hearing what people have to say#<3

In HTF fandom, you can know who to trust and not trust just by listening/reading what they think of some of the characters
"I love Fliqpy and Flippy but the raccoon who implied to be poor and is mentally ill is the spawn of evil for stealing, killing his brother, and `making illogical choices`. Aka when he is being a piece of shit Kleptomanic like the show intended"
"Don't get me wrong I love Handy but I don't understand why he is complaining when Russell has it worse."
"I don't understand why Petunia is always overreacting. Can't she just calm down for once?"
"I don't get why these characters trust Mole/Lumpy/Flippy/Lammy when they are DANGEROUS and SHOULD BE LOCKED UP."
Thanks for proving that disabled people can't trust you 👍
#badger posts shit#i'll be honest not all of these complains are from fans. some are from reaction channels#for real i've seen people say that Flippy should be locked up in an asylum... for killing others in a show made for... killing characters 😭#also back in the day there used to be shitton of people who would try to invalidate Handy's frustration because#`Russell is disabled too and he doesn't complain either`#even tho Russ clearly managed to heal and replace his missing limbs while Handy's wounds are clearly fresh abd he clearly can't#- probably because he is poor because he works even when he should be resting.#even Russell too struggles with his disability from time to time and gets frustrated with it. its just shown lesser than Handy's#htf#happy tree friends#happy tree friends fandom#htf flippy#happy tree friends fliqpy#htf fliqpy#shifty htf#htf shifty#htf handy#htf russell#htf petunia#mole htf#handy htf#lumpy htf#happy tree friends flippy#htf lammy#Tbh I'm not disabled but I feel like no one talks about how albeist this fandom was back in the days 😭 especially those reaction channels#please tell me if i'm speaking over actual disabled people or if i worded something wrong tho so i can fix it#i avoided this fandom for years because of the way many fans were

wolfnichols plotbunny idea: wolf being very unashamedly (but also unknowingly afterwards) flirty with nichols while high on that patient's drugs
#nichols trying to usher him into his van while wolf can't stop making suggestive comments about his big hands#he (nichols) struggling to stay stoick about the whole thing but he's blushing VERY hard#the residents pester him afterwards asking about wolf's behavior while high so nichols just gives one word answers to avoid having to#acknowledge the flirting#brilliant minds#wolfnichols#brilliant idiots#headcanons

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.
#jojo siwa#discourse#Her comment sections are VILE#I actually don’t hate her songs. They’re basically early-2000s new old stock and I like early 2000s music#Is she trying too hard to look like an “adult?” Yes. But that’s understandable.#What isn’t understandable is screaming at children for no fucking reason#and JoJo not helping at all when a girl was hemorrhaging out her belly button#when JoJo’s mother told the girl to “put a pad on it”#I don’t care how afraid you are of your parents; you END that shit the second you see it#I was raised in a cult and I actively sabotaged my parents’ preaching work on multiple occasions#I didn’t know if I’d get kicked out if they found out I did that; the only reason I still have a relationship with them#is because they never found out about my later sabotage#Dad preached to a waitress dangling a cure for her sons’ disorder in front of her nose as incentive to join and gave her literature#So I went to the restaurant with him and insisted I pay for the tip.#I gave her eight dollars and a sticky note with a bunch of keywords about the cult’s abuses to look up#The next time I went there#she said didn’t understand the sticky note and asked me while he was gone what I meant#I hate talking to people especially when I’m under pressure because I trip over my words even when I’m NOT anxious#But her kids’ lives being free of a cult meant more to me than avoiding a momentary discomfort so I gave a quick rundown#She thanked me and heeded my warning basically playing along with me and not saying anything to my dad about it#I was 20; JoJo was about 19 when her show was going on#She had no excuse for allowing her mom to do that.#At the very least she could have said “Oh god I’m so sorry she said that. Please don’t hurt yourself for my show; go to the hospital.”#But no. She didn’t do that. In fact she screamed at children and joked that if they were crying then it was a good show.#Bitch come here and do that in front of me. I double dog dare you. I may only be 5’5” but I fight dirty and I’m angrier than you#Sorry. I guess I do hate her… for THAT specifically.#Like yeah I’ve fucked up with the kids I help and yelled when I didn’t have to but I HATED doing it and tried to do better later#Why someone would SCREAM at kids on purpose for long periods of time for no reason is beyond me

My personal favorite headcanon about team 7 is that they all are very good shinobies. When they are on their own or with another team, each of them acts decent; they are coming up with plans, doing everything smoothly and carefully, thinking about the consequences of their actions and etc. (Yes, better or worse, but at least they are trying, okey)
But when they team up together, all of those things magically dissappear, and all of their intelligences turn into one brain cell, which normally goes to Sakura at first, but then Naruto does something stupid, Sasuke starts to react to this, so Sakura is starting to get annoyed, then angry and somehow joins the rest of the team, just throwing this braincell away.
And don't get me wrong, they are still very powerful and capable team, but in a very strange way. Like you ask them to stop some guy, because he smuggles some expansive stuff, but instead of killing him or getting him to jail team seven ends up doing revolution in the neighboring country to make people's life level better so they stop stealing. While also accidentally ruining the client's business.
#Tsunade always sending team seven to clients she really doesn't like#while acting like it's the act of respect#because somehow this team still have very good reputation#well they are good but in their strange way#I think I'm trying to avoid word “fucked up”#naruto#team 7#headcanon#team seven

Magenta 😟
#I've had cognitive impairment from covid before but not to where i feel intellectually dumb when i write#my college papers and my writing projects dont sound like “me” as of late#its very bare bones and doesn't have the descriptiveness or humanity i normally give#like i see the scenes or what i want to say in my head#but what i type aint matching up#and yeah i naturally get into slumps like that but this is like that slump x 9000#I'm kinda scared this round might've given me brain damage#havent been feeling all the way like myself#but i also know too that covid takes a while to heal from and of course theres long covid shit which ive dealt with before#im just frustrated guys#i feel like within the last 3 to 4 months i finally healed from my last bout of rona#and i get it again and im back to square one#i just want to write and feel okay with it and not feel so stuck just trying to come up with a basic sentence#seriously even writing basic shit is hard right now#it took me a week to get 5 pages on duality#and im used to churning out at least 10 pages on my projects at minimum every couple days to a week#man give me chronic pain anyday but don't take away my mind and the freedom that comes with that#sorry guys im feeling sad#i know i gotta give myself time but im impatient#i hate how right before i caught covid again i was gonna get my flu shot and an updated covid vax#wish i could've avoided this crud#having weird chest shit too#was a heart thing now its gerd now its potentially back to a heart thing#im tired#i need a hug#i love you 🫂💙#magenta is my vent word

why the fuck did i write about birds this fucking sucks. i just found out birds only sleep for a few minutes at a time, hundreds of times a day. do you know what this is going to do to my structure? the logistics of their road trip? this is already like three days late and i've been fighting for my life to get A Plot Like Any Plot That Makes Sense out and now the birds fucking sleep for 5 minutes at a time.
#i should've just bailed and written another story when i had the chance#i'm not joking i've never fought a fiction piece this hard before. usually because i'm not writing for specific deadlines#and not a piece so big. and not one that's gonna be workshopped. i wanna blow them away but if things keep going the way they are everyone'#gonna tell me the pacing sucks and it feels pointless and the characters feel really confused. I KNOW. I KNOW THAT. FUCKK#i'm the type to do about 15 passes before i let someone see my 'first draft' and i'm just not gonna be able to do that if i want to get it#in time for a workshop. every day i delay is making things harder for my classmates y'know?? but i've been writing like 1k words a day#and it's still not done. GUHH#I DON'T LIKE WRITING THESE CHARACTERS THAT MUCH THEY'RE NOT FUNNY OR ENDEARING AND THAT'S MY LIKE.#MAIN SKILL AND VIBE WITH SHORT STORY DUOS. BUT NOOOO I HAD TO MAKE THEM DIFFERENT CUZ I WAS SICK OF DOING#THE SAME DYNAMIC OVER AND OVER. BITCH THIS IS YOUR FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRIED AND TRUE GETS THE BLUE (RIBBON)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head in my hands head#going to work on it some more. fuckk#the voices aren't consistent and i'm trying to make it clear that this is toxic bird yuri and not a mother/daughter thing but the maternal#themes are kind of fucking with that but they're important and i don't wanna get rid of them but it feels forced cuz im forcing it#sigh. i'm gonna have to cut the yuri. these two don't work romantically at all. what a waste of time.#i watched the entirety of mnthly girls' nozaki-kun in the past two days while avoiding writing. did you know that? the lengths to which i'l#go? anyway it was fun i appreciate fellow creative agony and i uh never knew how they did screen tones and wasn't expecting that somehow#so i learned something new (hooray). anyway back to. fucking. bird story stuff#i'm so mad i hate these two (<- lying. just pissy) i hate this story (<- mostly exaggerating. throwing a tantrum)#eughhhhhh i just wanna lie on the floor and cryyyyyyyyyy (<- completely deadpan irl. not That upset just kind of sick of shit)#i'm so burnt out and it's only gonna get worse. ughh#why can't someone just come in and write it for meeeeeeeeeeheheuhhh (<- would hate that)

i live in an almost exclusively english speaking area with the other commonly spoken language being spanish so i really dont get the opportunity to actually speak in japanese beyond when im alone. so this 3am interview is going to be interesting since i dont think im allowed to use any english. i can do it, maybe not well, but i can do it im just having a bit of an "oh. this is a first. huh" moment.
#i cant speak to people i dont know in eng i cant even imagine how badly im going to mess some things up#but im not worried bc the worst possible outcome is inconsequential anyway.#realistically i sit there playing with my tenshi acukey off screen while i take 3 minutes to remember words. its fine#actually i do have one problem & its that i tend to say si instead of shi for no reason. i dont know why.#i can say し & i can say the english she but i go to speak full words and it ends up si. not always but a good amount of the time.#anyway wish me luck i guess.#i dont know any spanish btw. i have a rough time trying to roll my rs so i avoided it#i try in jpn sometimes when i get mad and its. hm. pathetic lmao

Powerfully Smug
The Lizard has been benchmark'd and she's come through pretty damn well. Got a little more smug in her now. She's earned it after all she's been through. Go flex your world-saving muscles, lizard.
#ff14#ffxiv#final fantasy xiv#final fantasy 14#arashi washi#meanwhile syn made a hrothgal who resembles her while trying to avoid her looking like an “anime protagonist” in her words#stalwart and fareena also came through pretty good#stalwart's skin tone is a little darker which is what i was hoping for#while fareena looks like her usual smug git self

prayer circle that old lady's second cat tests negative for FeLV tomorrow because it's been enough bad news this week
#honestly afraid she might just collapse if it's a positive#she lost one cat already today#and while we can likely do a lot for the other one#it's still a lot to handle#and well. idk. might be that a friend of mine recently had someone have a literal heart attack in that situation#and i'd rather avoid that#she kept blaming herself for it too.#idk. i don't think the words i have help much in those situations but it's all i have so i try#very glad to have a coworker with me in those moments even if they usually leave most things to me#anyway. time to listen to some music and sleep and then hope for the best#personal

#whenever I scroll through like Twitter or Bluesky or tumblr I see a lot of people making stuff with their oc#or like yume stuff with their fave characters and it makes me go like ''oh I'd love to do that too''#but then I remember that Gilgamesh would never like look towards me because I visually don't appeal to his tastes#nor my like character wouldn't pick up his interest because I'm a boring loser and a coward and sometimes it really puts me down#and yeah I know it's stupid but I just can't help myself😅#and I know that some of you might come to me and say words of support and I would appreciate them#but I'm writing this not to pity party myself but to just lift this weight out of my chest#and I have a friend of mine and we know each other since the childhood like we went to the same kindergarten#and I remember her always being determined and ahe always stood up for herself and was never afraid to voice her opinions#and I always admired her for that because because I always stayed quiet during the arguments or try to avoid them completely#or whenever someone was bullying me I always just burst into tears and just ran away#and I sometimes hate myself for being weak but I just can't do anything about it#and recently this friend she went into military and even though I worry about her and support her#I just can't help myself and not feel envious (in a good way) because of her bravery and determination to make that choice#and just throw her into this challenge despite all of her worries doubts and consequences that she might face#like I can't even call a dentist to make an appointment without being anxious#while she's ready to throw herself into the pits of hell despite fear and everything#like my friend is like that perfect image of a person that Gilgamesh would look upon with admiration and some respect#and I wish I could be like that too#I wish I could be the person which Gil would praise rather than look upon like on a piece of trash...#anyway sorry for ranting and thank you for reading if you did#these thoughts have been eating me for quite awhile and I wanted to voice them at least somewhere#personal

had a very interesting dream in which one of the Three Main Things I Am Scared Of happened to me and i just spent the rest of my time there sobbing and crawling on the floor in revulsion until a small blonde child gave me some hand sanitizer for whatever reason; i considered applying it to my mouth but did not. she also drew me a flower bouquet in red pen. i thank her deeply, though not her mother and the man i presume was her father; they were very adamant about leaving me behind
#random thoughts#and which of these three things might it have been you ask ?#i am not telling because writing the word for it is very strange for me. and speaking it.#so i try to avoid it. of course. and use alternatives. {:#but i feel all three of these things have lessened recently. mostly because i haven't gone to see fish in a while.#and i haven't thought about death. or. experienced the other thing in four months.#i don't like thinking about it stop thinking about it shut up i am going to crawl out of my body!!
