#‘oh shit we cant allow that’

[healingheartdogs]

Doctors visits as an AFAB person that have absolutely nothing to do with potential pregnancy and do not at all match symptoms of pregnancy be like:

Doc: "When was your last period?"

Me: "I'm currently on my period, it started (date)."

Doc: "And are you on any birth control?"

Me: "Yeah I have the nexplanon arm implant."

Doc: "And are you currently sexually active?"

Me: "Nope, haven't been for years."

~ Fifteen minutes later ~

Doc: "Well your pregnancy test (that we didn't tell you we were doing or ask your consent for) came back negative so it's not that."

No. Fucking. Duh.

#doctors who do this are pieces of shit just btw #if you dont believe me about my own fucking reproductive health why should i trust you to believe me about ANYTHING? #ndr #not dog related #there is literally no excuse for not asking for consent before doing that and not allowing me to say no you cant do that #its basically fucking ledger fudging through conpletely unnecessary insurance charges #denial of informed consent in medical care too #and yet it happens. every. fucking. time. #oh you're here because youve had heart palpitations and fainting spells since you were a child and you finally want them checked out? #oh you've had all over severe chronic pain and digestive issues since you were a teenager a decade ago? #MUST BE PREGNANT. #dont even need to do a pregnancy test as a precaution for ANY of the procedures or tests they did on me #its basically just saying “hi we dont believe you about your own medical history or value your consent at all” #i have such a big issue with consent in medical settings since being forcibly medically sedated without my consent or any warning at the ER #tell me what the fuck you are doing and ASK ME FIRST

Deltarune Theory: Spamton, The Player & Freedom

As some of you might know by my occassional ramblings and the fact that i post 10 pics of the guy per day bc of my 100+ queue I've been a little unwell about Spamton and Deltarune as a whole lately, and recently while trying to ramble about a different topic I realized something:

I think we, the player, the soul, are a bigger part of this game that we are giving credit for.

After all, what are some of the main themes of Deltarune? Lack of freedom, lack of control, how your choices don't matter... And if we look on a smaller scale, if we look at characters like Kris and Spamton you can also add to the mix a certain level of disconnect with your own body, but maybe i'm going too off topic there... (maybe?)

This is to say, don't you think these things apply quite well to the soul, to us, too? Sure, we control Kris, but Kris is free of ripping us out temporarily and often adds their own input to the things we ask them to say (and even says things on their own), not to mention how they get around to avoid doing what we asked or avoid revealing certain information to us.

On top of that, there's our vessel. The body we were meant to have and freely use, that was, in theory, discarded. And i think this is very imporant because many pick up on Kris being trapped with us, but not as much on us being trapped with KRIS. What we have is an uneassy alliance, a sort of symbiotic relationship, we need one another to exist. But we still aren't free.

And this is where Spamton comes in, our EV3RY BUDDY 'S FAVORITE [[Number 1 Rated Salesman1997]] and number 1 freedom yearning puppet, who offers us the highly valued [Hyperlink Blocked] which he believes will carry one to freedom and such.

And it is true that freedom is something Kris might want, but don't forget Kris isn't the only one in control of their body. We too are the ones going straight back to that salesman and doing his little quest.

And this is even more true in the Weird Route, the route where we strip all control from Kris AND Noelle to the point she can only hear us talking, and it's the route where Spamton says at the end "IT’S YOU AND THAT [Hochi Mama]! YOU’VE BEEN [making], HAVEN’T YOU! YOU’VE BEEN MAKING [Hyperlink Blocked]!".

And if you, like me, believe the meaning of [Hyperlink Blocked] is LOVE, then this would make a lot of sense, after all, what were some of the biggest complaints people had about chapter 1 when it released?

Lack of multiple routes, namely a genocide one, and lack of control.

And Toby Fox, being the monkey paw ass guy he is, obligued to the fans request. You want control? You want murder? Okay, there you go.

Not only that, but the weird route is the only one where Spamton never learns Kris' name, only called them kid, making the fact that Kris has nothing to do with our insane rampage even more explicit.

And on top of everything, Spamton was right. We did in fact gain control and a certain level of freedom thanks to this, our choices, the player choices, now REALLY mattered. And the consequences were devastating, hell, even Spamton died here.

So, with all this said, I think my point has become clear. I think our role in the story is very significant, and it even perfectly ties with the themes and the existing characters.

Very excited to see this develop further as more chapters come out 😁

#luly talks #also idk how to fit this on the main theory but i think its worth pointing out how in the end of snowgrave kris' choices rlly dont matter #not compared to ours as evidenced by kris calling their friends names #making them truly a puppet and it makes me think if that somehow related to spamton #unfortunately i . i am not in the level of spamton theory analyzing etc other ppl are so i couldnt say #some ppl get fucking enlightned when talkin abot that guy im like idk 👶 #cant wait to see who has controlling him anyway uh. #oh yeah also there's the ironic contrast w undertale where by doing a genocide we allowed chara to take over but #that's a bit of a fucking can of worms i am not fucking opening ok? #took me way too long to make this hope it makes sense and ppl enjoy it <33 i really think its like my magnum opus or some shit #deltarune #deltarune theory #spamton #kris dreemurr #if yall let this one flop im gonna cry

What if they didn't put ads every 3 posts. Three posts between ads, literally. Not even counting the ad for Tumblr Live.

Also what if tumblr didn't know what city Im in. I do not want my location tracked or stored anywhere unless I give explicit ongoing permission, like with my GPS app that I allow to track me only when the app is open, and then it deletes the data (allegedly) when I stop giving permission.

#ugh i do SO much to try to keep my location private. i use an android with all the tracking things Off (except for my weather app #which is a highly specific app that does NOTHING except provide weather; and i have the location turned Off so it doesnt even know where i #live). my tumblr email is not connected to any real life stuff because i made it when i was very closeted and made a new email and password #for it and never linked them to anything else. i have bare minimum apps. i use firefox and duckduckgo. #for shits sake i use a small barely-known map app because any Map App that has had large success under capitalism is inevitably going to #start selling private info or working with a cheap security system designed to allow quiet data leaks. #i guess i use gmail and gphotos but my phone doesnt HAVE a native Photo App. i have to use one i download and im too damn skittish to try #i guess i did get netflix recently....sigh.... i figured they WERENT tracking me because they email me EVERY TIME I USE NETFLIX to alert me #that OHHHH A NEW DEVICE IS USING NETFLIX AAAAA WHAT IF ITS AGAINST NETFLIX POLICY OH NOOOO. so i figured they didnt have a way to ID me. #UGH. CAN I PLEASE EXIST WITHOUT BEING MONITORED FOR FIVE SECONDS. can i please access Social Media which is a shitty substitute for actual #human connection but its the best i have--without someone noting my location and then trying to sell me things??? can i please watch film??? #i cant go to a theater because my region does NOT believe in covid and not even medical staff attending Very Ill Patients wear masks anymore #stupid fucking homophobic transphobic anti-vax society has made it too dangerous for me to access most Not-Online forms of enrichment. and i #cant even use the Internet (a magnificent ASTONISHING human creation) without being tracked and advertised to. #ugh.. #humanity is just so cool and brave and kind and amazing and yet we have taxes and advertisment IDs and traffic and medicine shortages. #its not like the ads even work. even when it shows me stuff i DO want. i cant fucking afford things. i already have spent too much money on #things that i dont need like Good Food and Entertainment and Juice. ugh....okay i do need food and liquids....Good food even. my body cant #survive on College Foods like it could in the past. And i might literally die if i dont buy juice... #and i guess its really really really heartwarming to have good entertainment to take breaks from all the stress.... its not like i havent l #..... like im so frugal. thank god my partners encourage me to buy myself things. i have been so much healthier since giving in and buying #Non-Water drinks instead of just Chronically Drinking Less Than A Bottle Of Water A Day. my partners are so good and sweet 😓 i shouldnt be #upset with myself for letting them convince me to take care of myself. that isnt fair to them or me so i will stop doing that now. #my faith in humanity is mostly just knowing that my partners exist. theyre so sweet. if people like them exist--then i have faith in humanty #no pressure lol. they are both so good and perfect regardless of how much energy they have to spare for Being Good. they are just inherently #very dear and good to me and for me. but just because i have faith in humanity doesnt mean im gonna stop complaining the whole time!!!!!! i #will whine about the bad stuff forever!!!! and BITE IT if i ever get the chance. but i will complain until the bothersome things go away. #if i complain my whole life with no results then...! so be it. i will whine and it will be art somehow. #sorenhoots

I'm the worst because if I find out complete strangers who I follow on social media think something I like is annoying I start thinking I should probably just kill myself and save myself the embarrassment, it's not ideal

#like this is kind of a joke but also not really i hate myself haha #i just think im like disgusting and deserve endless shame and hatred or whatever for being a bit cringe #i hate that its even cringe like why is cringe it makes me happy why can i not just enjoy things without this being an embarrassing trait #still thinking abojt when i went to the queer youth group age 16 and was drawing the crystal gems and some dude comes up to me like #oh you like Steven Universe. 😐 okay. #like yes i like steven universe bitch im a fucking 16 year old autist with a tumblr account and no self esteem what do you want!! #this isnt fucking social media i am literally standing in front of you!!! i am a person!!!! see me as a person!!! please see me as a person! #like thats why i leaned so hardcore into fucking truscum shit and became so fucking grating and insufferable #because i was so cringe and such a fucking trender and i hated it #it made me want to kill myself over and over again i had to prove i was a real man who could take a joke #and wasnt into that cringe tumblr sjw shit i was tough and cool #i also had agoraphobia and couldnt look in the mirror without wanting to do violence to myself #and lay in bed taking codeine only getting up to piss and shit for weeks at a time #but yeah no i was tough and cool and not cringe #not cringe not cringe #i still cant bear it i still hate myself then #i hate myself so much it makes me want to beat the cringe out of me i hate it #i just want to feel okay #i just want to feel like im allowed to be here #and that people ultimately dont care that much if there are some things we dont have in common #but i cant even treat other people that way so #its the fucking shit for me

#this happened a few days ago but #my editor sent me the final edit of our short film and he said it's the final cut and he won't be editing anymore #n that this shit isn't even paid or graded #the final cut was still so bad and ugly i really hate it #but i felt so disrespected when he said this isn't even paid or graded n that will only be a part of our portfolios #this isnt graded or paid coz this is literally a campus-wide film fest #idk i just can't stop thinking abt it #n how i allowed him to disrespect me like that #like i know as the director i should've stood up for myself but instead i just said thanks for ur hard work im sorry for all the hassle #im just really upset coz i know it could still be better . like WAY better #if i weren't so scared to tell him the truth #idk #i still need to cut like 5 mins off coz we're way over the time limit hahahaha but he doesn't wanna do it #im so sad im so upset n i judt cant stop thinking abt it or am i overreacting or overthinking or whateve #sorry ik this is long i just had to share coz i'm too scared to open this up to my team or my friends #OH I FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW THINGS #we had 6 drafts before submitting the final one #i have like an ENTIRE file of revisions n he didnt do them all!!!! which is why he made 6 drafts :/

neji never fights first. YES he shittalks! to DISSUADE PEOPLE FROM FIGHTING HIM. anyways is it any wonder hes so attached to the idea of fate and that some people have it good inherently while others have it bad with his situation? he was born a side branch member and despite all his talent, he is a slave. he is literally a slave given as a "gift" to his own cousin.

narutos ideology CANNOT and DOES NOT work in his case! if he tries to "defy his fate" he will, at best, have his braincells fried from the inside with a torture device, at worst literally die. so of course he believes in inherent fate. better than seeing other people be able to defy theirs and accept the fact it was pure misfortune he was born into this

#it makes me so upset when he starts believing in changing fate bc like #he cant keep doing this shit alone he NEEDS other peoples support if he wants to get through this #BUT HE NEVER GETS ANY #its just oh look. hes justifiably angry about his situation and like 13 #wtf? anger not allowed. VILLAINIZE #oh look hes forgiving his owner while the main branch does jack shit in return :) hes good and nice #and now we will literally never discuss the horrible power imbalance he is stuck in every single day or work on this ever.

[fortunately-bi]

Saw your target tags and yeah I worked in their Starbucks as a seasonal (first job) they were in the process of raising wages to $15.25 for employees and talked about how proud they were that they own their starbucks and aren't affiliated with stand alone stores. Then told me they're paying me $9/hr because that's what starbucks paid (2015). Then scheduled me to be a target cashier the Saturday before Xmas eve with no training on anything other than lattes. While continuing to pay me $9/hr because I was a barista.

I worked at the Starbucks as well at my location and I gotta say, the audacity of that company is astounding. They pride themselves on things like being the LGBT+ friendly store, and treating their employees so well and whatever but when I was there I was treated like garbage. I had a manager who would aggressively misgender me and even use my dead name despite having name tags with my pronouns on them and she only found my dead name through paperwork. We would frequently hear about people going on "extended leave" which became code word for quitting but they're got involved in something they shouldn't but we're trying to keep a lid on it. There was crazy amounts of homophobia and transphobia from management despite frequent outcry about it from employees, usually in my defense. I'm not gonna get into my other experiences because they go into what target would call a "conflict of interest" instead of just downright abuse. I remember one of my last shifts was me crying in the back room all by myself after having to work several days in a row all by myself during holiday season during night shifts and a nice older woman asked if she could have some water and saw me crying. She told me to leave, she told me no job was worth crying that hard over, and that she could see in my eyes that I knew what I needed to do. A few days later I got in a fight with my manager after she cornered me and I had a breakdown and I was fired for saying ✨fuck✨ while I was crying in the back room.

Anyways, Targets are well known for overworking their staff, cross training them so they can throw people around the store to do whatever (usually fulfillment) and never end up being consistent, and honestly just about everything in the book of what a retailer shouldn't do. Fulfillment alone is a position at Target that workers have been demanding better conditions for because the apps allow customers to abuse the system and order a ton of items then send workers on a crazy run with the most minimal time possible to do it. For those who don't know the devices (Zebras) you use to scan items track your progress and let you know when a customer has arrived. Have you ever walked into a Target and wondered why you keep hearing car beeps around the store? That's those things going off telling you that you have an order to fill or that the customer has arrived, now imagine how many times you hear that sound, and notice how few people you see running around with the carts filling orders. Its the position with the highest turnover rate because it's overworked with zero protections from customers, I've even heard of employees getting hit by cars while delivering an order. Target acts like they're the most ethical company to shop at but they're honestly just like the rest of them, only difference is they put a lot of money into making their stores look cleaner then they actually are.

In conclusion

Target needs to fuckin unionize.

#sorry this was long you probably didn't want a long answer but i have so many thoughts about target #like i understand not all targets are as bad as mine but majority of them are pretty fucked #im in a Facebook group for people who work at them and target just makes shit policy choices in general #and what sucked is i liked working there!!! i loved working at the Starbucks!!!! #but a LOT was happening to me there that i cant even get into #im really sorry they tried to screw you over with your pay like that im pretty sure i started working there after they settled that #but i also know that depending on which one you worked at some still paid Starbucks workers less #which sucks because we weren't even allowed to accept tips #which we did #oh and you better believe my ass was stealing so much fucking food #we threw away souch good food it was disgusting id shove it all in my backpack and walk on out
