#I AM JUST KVETCHING

[erenalias]

Begging BG3 artists to stop drawing stylized Astarion (THE VAMPIRE) as a fucking Jewish caricature. I am so sick of this antisemitic shit

#THIS IS NOT A CALLOUT POST #I AM JUST KVETCHING #if you’re confused look up the Jewish roots of European vampire myths and leave me alone #jewish #jewish conversion #jewblr #bg3 astarion #bg3 #bg3 fanart #astarion

does anyone else find it kind of funny how when tme people look for “clockable” traits for purposes like this that they’ll usually use gender affirming traits for the other tmes while just linking trans women to their (real or imagined) dicks? im not flaming im just saying surely you know that a lot of trans women get dysphoric about this, right? you know not all trans women have dicks and many don’t want them, right

#kvetching #walking into the function and respectfully staring at every bulge i think Shouldn’t Normally Be There to show how much of an ally i am #just tone deaf lol

there's this scene in season 1 of black sails where flint is talking to mr. gates about how he's going to sequester some of the urca gold to help make nassau safe and livable, but that they can't tell the crew because they don't understand what's in their own best interest and will waste it. and it's like. that's what happens to flint, in the end: both miranda and silver go behind his back to try to force him into the life they think he should have, miranda in season 1 with her letter asking that he be granted a pardon so they can make a life in boston, and silver in season 4 when he has flint brought to the plantation with thomas instead of allowing him to continue his war.

#black sails #black sails spoilers #i don't have a point with this i am just experiencing emotions #also this is the same scene as “billy wasn't expendable to me. billy was a son to me.” “maybe you should have been a better father to him.” #10/10 no notes. definitely the best thing to say to the man accusing you of killing your surrogate son #kvetch oc #james flint #hal gates

i don’t want to be mean but there is a certain subsection of f1 fans on here that act eerily similar to the ‘not all men’ and ‘all lives matter’ intersection

#just saw a post saying ‘it was ok when hannah schmidt was getting harassed but it’s not when susie is getting harassed’ like. first of all. #absolutely NO ONE said it was ok for anyone to get harassed. much less one of the few powerful women in motorsport. so just. an absolutely #buck wild take to post on main #secondly. why are you only bringing attention to hannah’s experiences to render susie’s experience redundant? introspect #i don’t know i feel like lately my blog has just become a collection of me periodically kvetching…. so i am sorry about that #However . this does enrage me. why turn this issue into a ‘i hate mercedes’ thing

i think fandom people are generally not very good at analyzing the behind the scenes workings of tv productions largely because fans (like most people) tend to make assumptions & inferences that support their own biases. the reality is that the television industry is a mess and there are many hands in the pot and all of them have different agendas -- network execs, showrunners, producers, writers, actors, etc. sometimes decisions are made for storytelling reasons, sometimes they're made to make money, sometimes they're made because one of the execs/showrunners is a petty bitch and wants to take it out on someone.

the other reality is that it is very rare for (network) live-action tv shows (though this is changing w/ streaming & it's different w/ animation) to have a longterm plan and that's not a bad thing. jms had a 5-year-plan for babylon 5 and then the network that aired the show looked like it might go under after season 4 and he rushed to fit everything into the end of season 4 (+ tv films) and then the show got renewed for a fifth season anyway and he had no idea what to do. babylon 5 is well-regarded by sci-fi fans but to tv writers jms is a cautionary tale. when people speculate about what the "original plan" was for a tv show they are most likely talking out of their ass. either that or one of the writers mentioned a half-baked concept they tossed around in the room for five minutes at a convention one time and the fans took that and ran with it. there is almost never an "original plan". and again. that's not a bad thing if you understand how tv is made.

oh and i also think fandom people are way too quick to spread narratives crafted by other fandom people without evaluating the source of the narrative. i have seen so many myths get repeated -- some of them obviously false, some that are quite possibly entirely true -- that have nothing to back them up except that people in fandom keep believing them. and i don't want to be too harsh but uh. i don't like that sam i am!

#just some thoughts on this fine sunday on which i am sick and have nothing to do but kvetch #and all that jazz

[ricekrispyjoints]

i have yiddish magnetic poetry and I think these are my best ones so far

#i am limited both by the words and my own paltry yiddish #but kvetching is a mitzvah and i will accept any critiques #jewish #yiddish #magnetic poetry #jewblr #jumblr #jewish things #these are for FUN #but if u have corrections i am happy to hear just be nice pls #ling lang

i have never formally, officially been a people manager before but one thing i know about me is that if i were managing a tiny team who were up against a mount everest-scale of work with an actually impossible deadline, i would probably kick off our monday morning meeting by hyping them up and making sure everyone is as supported as possible rather than, uh, shitting all over them and complaining and demotivating them. idk! just. a personal choice

#guys i just want my boss to go away #like for her health and for mine #i am begging her to take advantage of our disability leave benefits and just get the fuck out for 3-6 months #feel like i'm going to cry lol #all i do here is get set up to fail and then try my hardest and work my ass off anyway #sorry anyway #the kvetching department

[garden-ghoul]

in general kind of pissed off that everyone I talk to at work about my anxiety as to whether I can actually work a normal research job without, like, dying--they are all SO unwilling to engage with this. they're like oh I'm sure you'll find a job! my dude that is not what I'm worried about

#wyzard kvetch #I can do this job because nobody cares when or whether I am in the lab as long as I very eventually produce results #most jobs do not allow you to just not come in without telling anyone if you are sick #but NOBODY else at my work has realized this or they're unwilling to acknowledge the contrast between this and almost every other job #HOW do I get a job updating spreadsheets in the basement of a synagogue!!!!

[ballroomnotoriety]

continuously flummoxed by the people who get on a public social media site and make public posts and then...try to moderate who interacts with those posts further than just blocking the shitheads. unless you turn off reblogs or make a post private or have a password locked blog or do literally anything to personally take responsibility for containing your post, you sign a contract that says "if this thing breaks 45 notes you get idiots". them's the breaks! i do not understand people who seem to enjoy being stressed out monitoring every dumbass comment and tag on their 10k shitpost. ESPECIALLY when people get salty about fictional character tags on the fictional character website. there's a super easy way to avoid all of that and it's called "private blog" but there are some of y'all who like to do the online equivalent of standing in the cul-de-sac, shouting, and then gettin mad when the neighbors look at you.

#fucking hell some of you people make your own bait #i gripe about my popular posts but it's just kvetching #there's always a dramatic exit followed by them showing back up without comment 5 hours later too #exhausting! #the only reason i am expending even the slightest energy on this is bc a) it's a thought I've had several times #and 2) I'm waiting for the dog to shit

It is really disheartening how exclusionary and gatekeepy the lesbian community can be at times tbh. So much discourse is just pointless and not to mention can also be really tough on lesbians who are in the process of figuring themselves out.

#please no one be lesbophobic on this post i am a lesbian myself im just disappointed seeing shit other lesbians say sometimes #there is just so much pointless discourse and im sick of it ! who gives a shit! #and i know a lot of the issues are because terfs have twisted and spread lies about lesbian history #and even a lot of lesbians who say stuff like terfs fuck off and that theyre trans friendly n stuff still fall for terf propaganda #constantly #and let me be clear this is not to say lesbians and the lesbian community as a whole are bad or transphobic ofc! #i myself am a lesbian and also trans #i am just kvetching about problems within the community i notice #non lesbians please do not use my words to be asses about lesbians thanks

My partner is being so mean. All I did was dislocate my shoulder in my sleep yesterday and now it's all "the back muscles are interconnected" and "You did all of that yard work yesterday why did you think that wasn't going to hurt"

#STOP CALLING ME OUT JIM #i am being so silly about this my shoulders do this all the time #and hes just responding in kind to my kvetching #narrations

[neixins]

i really do love writing image descriptions <3 more of u should try it sometime

#i kvetch occasionally bc i have very few spoons and hundreds of posts in my drafts waiting to be described #but i genuinely do love making posts more accessible #i also love how much it makes me appreciate the art i’m describing but that’s just like a neat little bonus to accessibility #that said i really should go through my drafts. last i checked there were almost 440 posts in there……and i am but a girl

🌈 and ⛅️

🌈 something soft/fluffy from your wip

But for now, Jamie was deep asleep on his chest, fingers wrapped loosely in the fabric of Roy’s shirt, ribcage expanding and contracting in a steady rhythm against his own while on his other side, Keeley sprawled on her stomach, right arm dangling off the edge of the sofa bed. It was the first time Jamie’d slept through the night since his dad called, and Roy held himself still, scratching a hand through his hair as he stared up at the ceiling, carefully unmoving in a way he hadn’t been since Phoebe was a baby and woke at the slightest movement.

🌤️ favourite line of dialogue from your wip

“I need to postpone the surgery.” Keeley offered a gentle smile. “It’s normal to be scared—” Roy growled. “—But the doctors do it all the time, babe, and you know they said you’ll regain more mobility the sooner you have it done.” “Won’t be enough mobility to play, will it?” he snapped, harsher than he’d meant. Took a deep breath, pressed another kiss into her hair in apology. “It’s not about that. Not about some fucking… tough guy footballer shit, either, okay?” At Keeley’s skeptical look, he pressed on, quieter. Jamie was still deep asleep, snoring faintly. “I just— look, it doesn’t fucking matter if I can use the fucking knee. It doesn’t. And he’s fine now but you know it’s only a matter of time before everything that fucking shitfucker put him through catches up, and what if he needs me, Keeley, and I can’t—” he cut himself off abruptly, chest heaving.

#fic: flightless birds #series: symbiosis #ted lasso fanfic #roy kent #keeley jones #jamie tartt #i promise the fluffy epilogue will eventually be fluffy and not just angst #there will also be angst bc i am constitutionally incapable of writing anything completely angst-free #kvetch oc

Hi ! Would it be possible for you to use Edelgard critical or Edelgard discourse as tags ? It help to make the fandom more civil and make it a better space in general.

Thanks you for reading, have a good day ! ( Also feel free to ignore this message if you don't want to )

i mean i.... can? but i havent posted abt fe16 that touches on that specific topic in, if i recall correctly, years. Nor do i intend to post on the topic publicly in the future, im just kinda vibing. So im not going to be going back and backtagging a bunch of posts from early 2020s and 2019, sorry thats too much work to be worth it :( nobody will be scrolling down the search/tag that far anyway i assume

#in general when i lightly kvetch abt characters and their writing and plot #i no longer use fandom tags when i can help it so it doesnt show up in the main tag #nor does it attract the certain kind of person who goes through the 'critical' tags to stir shit up #i just mind my own business and stay in my lane these days and have been for a good while #IN GENERALTHO i am pro-tagging-things-for-blackisting-reasons #the specific timeline of all this being old just makes it a moot point #btw anon i aint mad at u Promise. i just have a habit of overexplaining to avoid conflict or bruised feelings

[moistvonlipwig]

re: prev post, the 'fascist' label doesn't really apply in this case but that is why i don't fuck with all the 'lesbian spuffy' 'woman-coded spike' shit. if you've been around my blog long enough you know i love spike but that man is a horrid little misogynist. he is not woman-coded or lesbian-coded or a babygirl he just sucks. please fellow spike fans accept this fact!!!

#'he just sucks' < vampire pun. unintended but i am proud of it regardless #buffy the vampire slayer #btvs #spike #and if you're gonna whine about letting people enjoy things. please consider i am not in your inbox or in your house. #if i can let you enjoy things you can let me kvetch about them. thanks #it's what you do afterwards that counts #neutered vampire who cheats at kitten poker

[zmwrites]

some of these new tag games take so much effort…. i don’t have the energy to find specific words in my wips using the search function, how am i supposed to pick seven to ten random lines or remember which scenes fit which vibes??? i love y’all’s enthusiasm but have pity for us elderly folks with no energy 😭

#just kvetching you can ignore me lol #i’ll get to them all eventually i am just… so tired all the time #zoe speaks
