#(stop blocking the view)

[sandinmybed]

can i be fr for a minute?? sending abuse to people online for holding different views than you is not activism and in fact actively hurts your cause. most people are not extreme in their viewpoints, you can give them a new perspective if you're willing to spend some time explaining shit. if someone is saying something you disagree with and you rush in there to condescend to them and call them disgusting and subhuman and dont even TRY to explain calmly why their views are harmful, they're going to shut you out instantly and double down on their views.

most people are simply genuinely ignorant to the issues they're talking about - they just pick their views up from the news and the world around them and express opinions because that's what every person does. if you run in there and tell them they're scum for it, what then? if someone does that to you, are you going to think "maybe i should do some research" or are you going to think "this person is an asshole, im blocking them." a lot of you think you're activists and then refuse to do any kind of actual WORK to support your cause.

#this is not about the isr*el thing even tho thats obviously a huge issue rn #its just a pattern ive observed online #im not saying you have to be kind to people who oppress you dont twist my words #but if youre trying to support any cause and you think calling people names is going to help #youre a fucking idiot lol #people call themelves activists and pro-X cause because they called their opposition dirty c*nts online #how the hell is that meant to help anyone? theyre just going to retreat into their propaganda chambers because you proved what the leaders #of those spaces have been telling them #you can obvs block people if you dont want to deal w them but thats a neutral action. sending abuse harms ur cause. #text #like educating ignorant people is hard work! yeah! its also the entire fucking point of activisim #and if you think its too much effort then just stop pretending you give a shit tbh #like my parents managed to change our neighbour's very xenophobic stance on migrants with a calm conversation #some people will listen and some wont and shes not exactly going out to protests for migrants rights but shes not hostile anymore #and a lot of yall think that isnt good enough but let me tell you it IS good because these things take time! #unlearning things is MUCH harder than learning them in the first place and a lot of people grew up in environments that taught them #very discriminatory and conservative views and its actually not their fault. and its hard to educate yourself differently on something you #have no idea is not true. where do you start w that?

I'm already seeing people fight over whether we're "allowed" to ship Peruere and Clervie....

Guys you do know that you can grow up alongside another child and not see them as a sibling right? And that children can have crushes? And that children grow up to be adults who can then develop romantic feelings? Right? Right?

#It's mainly just 1 person here and a few on others sites but there will be more i feel #why does fandom always call characters siblings and refuse to hear other interpretations #just bc Lyney and Lynette view Fremi as their brother #doesn't mean every other child in the HotH is the same #there's hundreds of them and no way they all see each other as traditional siblings #please just go anywhere with romance stories and you'll see tons of childhood friends to lovers #also stop telling people what to ship #filter + block pls #fandom rant #genshin impact #arlecchino #clervie #leafy.txt

i was thinking about that ask i received the other day and how uncharacteristically upset the topic had made me when i usually just think "mh. gross!" and move on, and after mulling it over a while i realized it wasn't about the topic at all, it was the ask itself that freaked me out. i've mentioned sporadically before (for obvious reasons lol) that i used to be involved in fandom discourse when i was younger and that!! fucked me up quite a lot. between exacerbating my ocd and straight up getting cyber stalked (i almost feel guilty using that word, like i don't deserve it but. yeah that is 100% what happened to me), the topic is something I have very complex and personal opinions on but that i hate talking about in public because it still sets off my fight or flight response.

i know some people in the fandom are like "let me know if i ever rb someone who wrote/drew gross stuff" and that's entirely their choice and i respect it. but for the record, i am not one of these people. please, for the love of god, i am asking this genuinely do NOT come into my DMs about this, I don't want to know. assume I'm either living in blissful ignorance or my blacklist already covers me quite nicely & i wanna keep it that way. i vastly prefer the discomfort of stumbling into something unprepared and deciding what to do about it on my own, to the utter pit of dread i get whenever i open a message that starts with "hey just so you know-". i have blocked multiple people in the past over it. i WILL block more. be warned.

[note. this doesn't apply to people who have either hurt or behaved inappropriately with other members of the fandom, or spread bigotry and discrimination like racists and transphobes. please do let me know in those cases]

does this make sense? idk I'm kinda feverish you guys figure it out. I'm going to sleep.

#word from the wise for anyone peering into the jaws of discourse. there are only 2 types of people you can trust on their opinions on it #they are 1) people who have never heard of ship discourse like. at all. and 2) people who know too much about it #and with that i mean people who started off at one end of the discourse ricochetted to the other side and then came out #objectively refusing to associate with any of it. because they Know. that whatever issue lies at the heart of it is never gonna get resolve #with the way that discourse is conducted. and that the problems will never truly be fixed. and even then #you should take three or four of them at once from different starting and ending points and let them talk it out together first #because they all came from different point of views the others could've missed #i cannot WARN YOU ENOUGH. you do not want to be the second type. don't fall in #block who you wanna block and be kind any time you can. most people aren't inherently evil & that's a weird thing to assume about someone #and for the love if god stop fucking beefing with teenagers online #that is all you need to know about this. go have fun #i haveee so many fucking. thoughts about this topic i genuinely think i could have (and have had! seriously!) constructive discussions on i #about what would be helpful and what needs to be changed and what people get wrong. but it's always in private. because of the horrors #anyway shipping wars veteran discounts when

came accross that one guy who wants Mithrun and Kabru to have met when Kabru was 7... and oh boy was that... an experience...

they called me ableist despite the fact I am disabled cause I said the shit they're going on about feels groomer-y and that a 7 year old shouldn't go off and date someone they knew when said person was an adult… like… no ew… I do not care if Mithrun was mentally all there or not that would be sick no matter how you look at it and it's wild this person seems to not get it. it would to me be as bad as if Kabru dated his elf mom because... like he met her when he was a child.

like if you live in the same house with someone for a year you're gonna probably fucking know they exist, and if Kabru was there as a kid and knew "hey this elf guy is in me house" FOR A YEAR, he should not then go and fuck him when he's an adult… like… no? like I've known lots of adults when I was 7, I do not want to fuck them, that would be weird because I was a child when I first met said adults! like… to me I would feel like that person is a nonce with the context that I was a child when we met and they weren't because there is a massive difference between two 7 year olds meeting and growing up and getting together… vs a 7 year old and an adult meeting and then the 7 year old growing up and them getting together… I am speaking as someone who was groomed at the age of 14... this is just not ok, adults are adults and kids are kids and need to be taught that this is not ok and that no you should not go and date someone you met who was an adult when you were a child regardless of if they remember you or not...

#proshippers dni #kabru #mithrun #dunmeshi #dungeon meshi #yeah... ew #before anyone says anything yes I have tags blocked! #I am coming at this person in particular and those who share their sick views! #I love Mithrun as a character and don't think he's a groomer but I do think this persons headcanon is sick #and if it were canon I'd think the author was sick and instantly stop being an fan of dungeon meshi tbh #because the fuck #they blocked me btw lol #age gaps are fine but context matters #delicious in dungeon #this is not ok #this is not 大丈夫

also he’s acting like i’m so desperate for him to unblock me.. lmao dude what i want is for u to leave me & other women alone & to stop lying about us. stop sending me anons obsessively, stop viewing my blog obsessively, stop lying about me obsessively, stop sending anons lying about me to other blogs obsessively. idc if a lifeless loser has me blocked, i’ve got u blocked back

#he can’t even lie well bc his excuse for why he can’t provide any evidence doesn’t make sense #‘i cant bc id have to unblock her!!’ u can view blogs u have blocked #and clearly me having u blocked hasn’t stopped u from obsessively viewing my blog soooo… #also he pretends to be 20 but clearly isn’t. he doesn’t know shit about using the internet lmO

I see a lot of people have made covers of the snippet of Everybody's Waiting (the new JO track)

I may do it too but at the same time I am hesitant given that I am 90% sure they won't see it (since everything else I'd ever made have never been noticed by them - Bojan's big share yesterday included) and if by chance it is getting seen I am not sure how I'd feel having the first thing noticed by them be just another cover

I am probably overthinking things again

#so here's the t in the tags (aka me ranting) #I have not felt great about my art or my contribution to the joker out and käärijä fandom recently #I have honestly felt like an art block is coming #the few things I have been able to create just doesn't feel good to me #and I don't get the same satisfaction of sharing it either #Ik I should be grateful for whatever faves and views it gets but I cannot help but feel underappreciated #which in turn doesn't make me feel motivated to make more #the last few days I have actually been more drawn to playing my guitar and writing songs than creating artwork #so that is what I've been doing #in that regard creating a little cover would maybe be fun #and yet I fear I'd fall into the same trap as with the art #that now I might make something to share with the fandom it has stakes #and in the end the stakes will be too high since I cannot help but compare what I make #and so I will lose interest in making music as well #honestly I feel kind of lost #I have had days I just stop working for half an hour to several hours #falling down an unproductive rabbit hole where I just stare out into the blue or at a youtube video #I don't want to be here #I want to love what I do and love sharing it with you again #but after a pretty productive and somewhat decent january #I now feel meh about it all #thank you for reading my tag novel #I will go now #micahs thoughts #micahs foolery

Hm. Don't really like the way readers talk about fic sometimes.

"this has potential!" "Hoping this lives up to my expectations"

Again, you're reading free content and when you put those opinions in a place the author can see, you're putting unnecessary pressure on them...to meet your expectations for their fic.

You see the problem there, right.

#when people stop viewing fanfics and fanart as content theyre entitled to and get a say in the world will heal #because making the author aware of your expectations is the move right? fuck whatever plot they had planned #just about /you/ specifically #because you put in all the work to come up with the premise/title/summary amd wrote those words right #“its got potential” and/you're/ gonna get blocked #its just stupid and im tired of it. like artists and writers dont put enough pressure on themselves

sitting on the couch w friends and i stg i can feel my pulse in my clit i am so fkn horny

#i’m curled up with my legs underneath me #which blocks the view of my lap #and i’ve tucked my hand between my legs w my thumb against my pussy #but i’m wearing jeans so it’s more a tease of slight pressure #and it’s not fair bc i came twice today #once on my dildo!!! #and i just. can’t. stop. being. horny.

[wavebiders]

I think we would all get along a lot better if everyone could just accept that "queerplatonic relationships are important rep and shouldn't be diminished" and "romantic relationships between women are often written off as friendships and it's ok for wlw to not feel drawn to that interpretation" are two statements that can and should coexist

#like yeah i understand it sucks if you really want it to be queerplatonic that the fandom as a whole has very much jumped to romance #but at the same time its also nice that for once the f/f ship is this popular #and its not like there havent been any specifically romantic suggestions about it at the table either #i get that queerplatonic rep is important i get that #but i know when i see those at this point bi-weekly post urging people to consider it could be platonic i do get frustrated #cause while i know objectively that isnt whats being said it feels a whole lot like being gal palled does in straighter spaces #(also feels bad when people put all the queerplatonic focus them when cr has several special platonic m/f bonds but thats another post) #but at the same time that doesnt warrant hostility towards people that dont see it as a romance #these people are queer too and deserve rep too and regardless sending hate is never ok #just #maybe everyone stop trying to push your view on others and just wait it out #and block people whose takes upset or annoy you thats much more civil than picking a fight #critical role #cr3 #imodna

Kim is a,fascist

are you stupid

#actually you perfectly articulated why i believe tumblr DE fans to be incredibly annoying and foolish #like im gonna explain more on this here in the tags #this is what i mean by the fact that i think not everyone should play this game #its a very complicated story and it requires you to really pick things apart and pay attention #and have really in depth uncomfortable conversations #many of those being political #its not an easy game to dive into and it takes a shitton of concentration and the willingness to put yourself in a space where youre ok wit #having really uncomfortable discussions and challenging your world view #and if you are not used to doing so without having basic kneejerk reactions to things and are someone who just doesnt allow themselves to #STOP AND FUCKING THINK #then DE is not going to be a game that will have any impact upon you #like yeah its got funny moments and people love to call it the funny communism game #but that is seriously such a pathetic way to look at a story that discusses the EXTREMELY COMPLICATED impact of systematic issues #like its a story that is not American or Western Centric made and that in and of itself is very important #the formation of the RCM is the specific way it is to have complicated conversations #so that one can hopefully avoid making really fucking stupid comments like the one you sent here #which btw reeks of you being American jsyk #anyway if you played this game and this was your take away just block me already #youre not someone who thinks #thats very clear #once you idk actually play the game and wanna have in depth conversations with me lmk #disco elysium

being a schizophrenic th fan genuinely fucking sucks more than anything ever

#the way the Entire fanbase treats someone who is (supposedly) schizophrenic is fucking exhausting #TO BE CLEAR: i dont view it as like. an excuse for actions etc etc #but the fact that i feel the need to clarify that says enough about the way the fanbase acts about it #no a schizospec diagnosis (if thats what it even is) does not excuse grooming kids. believe it or fucking not. #and it also doesnt make someone inhuman or impossible to communicate with #and also you dont have to “save” or “fix” a grown man who needs an actual real world support system #that DOESNT JUST EXCUSE HIS ACTIONS (matt) #and ESPECIALLY you dont have to brute force send messages to him through weird and unusual channels that would like #very easily be seen as fucking threatening and scary to a schizospec person. if i had an account and a stranger was fucking #uploading shit to my account through a loophole to send me a message i would be freaking the fuck out #it would absolutely induce an episode #it just astounds me like. how a fanbase that is full of people who are like. autistic adhd etc etc. just absolutely refuses to treat #schizophrenia with respect or the care it deserves #also its even more frustrating seeing another schizospec person ALSO treating him like a zoo animal+studying him like a lab rat #just ignore the fucking guy block his account stop giving hiim attention stop talking about him #he uses the attention you give him to do the shit he does that ends up hurting people #can you people just acknowledge schizospecs as human and also use your fucking brain and stop interacting

i wish there was a way for me to mute users entirely because theres some people on this app that have ships i hate or have made enough annoying takes for me to be like goddamn enough out of u . but like i dont hate them enough so that i want to block them

#i do use the filtering post content thing but like even if u filter it #itll still show the greyed out box that lets u see the post if u click on it and yknow sometimes i am a nosy bitch i will not lie !! #like please just erase them from my dash and the tags entirely...please... whats the point of being able to view their posts anyways... #im specifically talking abt ppl whose ships i hate and also people who tag all their asks for that specific fandom in the main tags #also people who do not know how to use the read more tool like stop making me scroll 398412 times just to get past ur post youre killing me #also people who post untagged discourse in the tags💀 i wish you a very Shit Yourself #also people who tag character hate in the main tags too go shit yourself (i block those ppl immediately tho) #delete later

[arklayraven]

I swear the fact some of us had to make new special tags just because some people hate that we talk negative about their special characters...Really is damn ridiculous.

#;little raven speaks #speaking from experience...had to do or try it twice on both here and my other blog. #the tag ;raven om calamity was made pretty much in a sense for such things...and similar was made on my vent/rant blog #where I posted lengthy things about that sorcerer and my means to defend my beloved lustful demon... #when people were making up lies about him and stuff to make the sorcerer seem better or justified on his horrible actions. #but is that enough to make people learn to just ignore and crap? nah. some are addicted to seeking out what upsets them and #I guess they have this rush/whatever on going after others who don't share their views and crap. also some are controlling too. #which is why I resort to blocking them but that doesn't always stop them from coming after you. #sorry for the rant. it just seeing it happen to another just bothered me. we should be allowed to speak negative about characters #freely as they do when it comes to our personal faves. but we can't have fairness huh?

[anthro-cat]

i should stop clicking on posts tagged as "current events"

#i should stop pressing the ''view post'' button at all when there's a post that has a blocked tag #my rambles
