#I CANT EVEN BLAME TUMBLR

[brw]

I'll stop talking about Krakoa soon but I just thought of this other thing about Moira, and it really is like.... they changed a human ally, who had morals, and wanted to help her friends, who wasn't perfect but was ultimately a good person who did her best to aid her friends, into a mutant who had to be threatened into fighting for mutantkind, and was self-hating, and in fact her own self-hate is why the Beautiful And Perfect Paradise Ethnostate was destoryed, because she allied herself with Evil Bad People Who Want To Kill Us, A Blessed Minority rather than accept her mutant heritage.

The statements this era has made are horrific. They would be horrific at the best of times, but they are especially horrific now, and the inability of writers to criticise the very clear Zionist allegory they have created is absolutely horrific.

#brieuc.txt #krakoa #moira mactaggert #xmen #zionism #ask to tag #I had a thing in the tags but for some reason tumblr logged me out part way through? #anyway the failure of the writers to allow the characters complicit in the creation of the ethnostate look bad has made this era so fucked. #we cant let emma or scott or kitty or jean or magneto or charles or kurt or or or look bad #so we blame everything on Sinister and Moira and Beast and go to sleep #even those who are somewhat critical like Storm and Logan are not allowed to say ''ethnostates are bad. fundamentally'' #we never explore the eugenicist foundation of krakoa. in fact we rehabilitate apocalypse to make him look better! #to reiterate: goodbye krakoa and stay dead bitch.

okay, so.

i have over like, 80 something drafts, and barely any muse for any of them. i feel horrible, about not writing, or only writing select things. i know i'm letting you all down, and i'm sorry about it. i've just been busy, with theater, and work----that all i wanna do when i come home is zone out with smth on in the background or play a.cnh. and when i do have days free, i'm either sleeping, hanging out irl with friends, or watching stuff. tl;dr i might put this blog on a semi-hiatus. because i don't have the spoons rn for more than a few things but also because ive been neglecting other characters who i started this blog for and i just.......i feel bad.

#* drink up me hearties ; yo ho ! / ooc. #[ mostly i just feel like im letting ppl down idk ] #[ and i cant even be on here during work anyway #[ all im saying is i wouldnt blame anyone for unfollowing or soft blocking ] #negative // #[ sorry just ....been thinking about this a lot lately and i know tumblr isnt supposed to be serious but /to me/ it is ] #[ and i just feel like im letting a lot of people down ] #[ yeah anyway just putting this here ]

i just bought something ugly and i regret it. This is impulsive buying at its lowest.

#impulsive buying #i blame capitalism #i hate that my sister had to tell me i told you so #and told me not to buy anything again without her #i just felt like a little girl again that couldnt decide for herself and that my life isnt really mine #god its the worst when you make your own mistakes and you cant even own them #btw i just typed crying to find a gif and tumblr asked if i was okay like #i could convulse and vomit blood and my family will tell me not to be dramatic

[sugaroto]

So, I just realized that #artists on Tumblr is trending

And the second pic I see there is the new aftg art by @lunapiq

And im like wow aftg is trending! (Which I know is not really the case, but let me think that random people had the chance to see the Bus scene in this beautiful fan art)

And I go through the reblogs, and I see the tags

And now I'm crying

Dude-

Ok I've never seen or read Harry Potter tbh

But I know that Draco is a blonde with daddy issues and that Ron is the orange one who's in the main trio

Ok 1st of all I didn't know this was a ship- anyways moving on

But like- you saw Andrew Minyard and were like yeah this is Draco

And you saw Neil Josten and were like yeah this is Ron

Ajshrhrjd

Ok sorry - no hate to the person who made the tags but I'm crying

#ok im not literally crying but im almost there #idk if even the characters are alike #but- im sorry i just cant #tbf- i make everything i see into being aftg related so assuming this person ships draco/ron or just sees hp characters everywhere #im not blaming them #but #idk- im shocked #im also assuming that this person doesn't know what aftg is #anyone who seen/read hp pls tell me if andrew as Draco and neil as ron makes even a little sense and im not just overreacting #or was it bc of the hair colors #it was the hair colors wasnt it? #artists on tumblr #lunapiq #aftg #all for the game #neil josten #andrew minyard #the foxhole court #andreil #aftg fandom #aftg fan art #draco malfoy #ron weasley #aftg textpost #to delete

if anyone has a solution to this (and i blame the new post editor bc this Never happened with the perfect old editor), but on my side blog, every time i've posted a video recently, it Never shows up in the tags. and the tags aren't the problem (i've switched up the tags and it still never appears, posted a text or image post with the Exact Same Tags and they show up in the tag search fine). and the side blog is pretty video-heavy (practically every other post from '21 to '22 was a video, but posted with the old post editor). since february of this year, i've only posted 3 videos and they have never, ever shown up in the tags.

tumblr support never got back to me and the The Most Random workaround i found on tumblr (while trying to see if anyone else has this same issue) was posting an image/gif in the same post as the video (like under a "read more") and SOMEHOW?!?! that makes it show up. but clearly other people keep posting videos without an image/gif placed underneath (based on the handy-dandy timestamps), so what the Fuck is up???

#god i DESPISE the new editor bc it's Always out to get me somehow someway!!! #posting gifsets is screwy and hard to place in whatever order you want #the html viewer is just white text on black so it's Crazy difficult trying to keep track of the non-color-coordinated code #and now this! i cant even post goddamn videos?! without adding an pic signature like it's a forum in 2009??? #what gives?!!? #PLEASE. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. HELP ME!!! #not naming names but i blame cyle for this #rambles #tumblr

#woolly rambles #very extremely accidentally managed to spoil my partner's proposal plans this weekend and i couldnt feel any lower 🫠 #i very off-handedly guessed a key part of it and i've been kicking myself ever since #he was so disappointed #and like we're fine he's rallied and is going to come up with something else #and has even said he was okay with changing it because hes told a few of our friends #and was thinking of switching to a plan that only he knew #but i still feel like shit about it #it feels like being a kid who accidentally ruined a game you didnt know the rules to and now everyone is upset #and you didnt mean to do it #and wouldnt have done it if you had Known #and you cant blame the other kids for being upset because you did very much ruin the game #i know its all going to be fine and everything will sort itself out #but right now i feel horrible about it #like tearing up at the airport as i type this feel horrible about it #trying to tell myself that big events like weddings always have whoopsie moments like this that feel devastating but actually are fine #and that this blip is just us getting that moment out of the way early #but idk if its working #hoping that spilling my feelings into the tags of a tumblr post will help #also very much may delete this later #i really do suck at the elaborate social rituals

sombody physically force me too clean my room,eat,drink water, and stop being sad and anxious and confused

#i am once again asking #bro i am struggling #this is annoying #i dont even know why im really sad right now #i blame tumblr #and myself #and adhd and anxiety #and my meds taste like shit because i cant swallow pills so i have to sit there painfully #pls help

[stusbunker]

I will never write the epic story. I will never be able to connect to readers the way others do. I will never do the characters justice. And the more I read the more it's true.

#and no one would even notice if I stopped #stu overshares #writing is hard #and Im sure I lost all my readers by myself #i cant even blame the way tumblr has changed #i just am not worth following

*listening to the VNC, BSD, and MTP songs on repeat for x days straight*

Me, today: Ah...I've entered That Phase...

#no i will not clarify what That phase is #honestly im not even THAT invested in vnc and i just liked the anime a lot for mtp?? #i know the mangas are better but i havent had any interest pursuing them as vnc didn't capture me that much #and i was actually pretty satisfied with the anime #so i blame bsd for this #i cant believe people on tumblr were right...mtp bsd and vnc ARE THAT trio #anywaya here's to these action seinens/shonens for being squished in between fma and generic shonen levels of great? #idk the tags are becoming nonsensical and opinionated my apologies #fandom spamdom #excuse me rambling in the tags #vanitas no carte #vnc #bsd #bungo stray dogs #note's nonsense #yuumori #yuukuko no moriarty

hiiii really enjoyed your chenglingposting i was thinking about how sometimes the kids in adult stories function as a sort of barometer for optimism about the future in their views and options in life... obviously the alliance wants to continue the cycle of antagonizing and vengeance and conflict with the veneer of "honor" but. zcl gets to choose not to. its been a while since I either read or watched, do you know if zcl was ever onboard with actually wanting vengeance or if that was just being pushed on him? Obv its not super in line w his personality but grief could be a factor. i just thought it'd make a lot of sense if he changed his mind on that due to the influence of wenzhou and how they prioritize enjoying life w your people and following your own path over expectations. priest really took one more chance to emphasize breaking cycles/"if it sucks hit the bricks"

hi!! omg!!! thank you and im glad you enjoyed it! honestly this is a question i have been thinking about since at least two rereads ago. the show and the novel are handling this issue of zcl picking up his legacy / giving in to external expectations / finding out what he really wants in life a little differently, i think, as befitting of what they both focus on. ive said in my chenglingpost that the show is about legacy and inheritance in my eyes, while the novel is about martial arts and freedom of choice. obvs freedom of choice is a high priority in word of honor as well, but word of honor seems to have an overarching look, kind of focusing on the big picture and what a generation / a community needs rather than a few individuals, while the novel focuses exclusively on wenzhou and their little group and seems to handle the rest of the themes in priest's usual style. the show is about something "grand", the novel is about the mundane, almost boring human experience. martial arts play a bigger role in the latter too because they are a stand-in for many things that are hard to grasp, like autonomy. in chengling's context, martial arts are irrevocably linked with seeking revenge. i think that is specifically in the novel the case, not so much in the show. in the show seeking revenge is pushed onto him by others as well as inheriting his sect's legacy and becoming worthy of being his father's son. in the novel, the idea of seeking revenge is first presented to him by gu xiang, and it is actually this huge contrast to how others treat him because others "generously" offer to take revenge for him, while gu xiang tells him he can do that himself. we see with wen kexing that getting revenge does not make u happy. it gives u closure but it does not make u happy. i think that is something chengling learns during the novel. he gets closure in the end but it does not look the way he had imagined it would. i think he imagined himself to get super strong and then single-handedly slay his foes. yknow, as u often see in wuxia and as wen kexing literally does. then he starts learning martial arts and realizes getting super strong is actually not that easy, and this chasm between what he expects of himself and what he is able to achieve gets wider and wider and he falls into depression spirals, because to chengling, seeking revenge was taking ownership of his life and his trauma, and what use does he have when he cant even do that? that is the path wen kexing walks and it hollowed him out and it would have him kill himself if he hadnt met zhou zishu; wen kexing viewed himself as an instrument for a very long time rather than as someone deserving of having his own life. so obvs, that path is rubbish by itself (wkx gets his revenge and his closure and his life, good for him!) and its far too much for a kid. and i think, that is what chengling learns here: he only needs to do as much as he can, only bite off what he can chew, and the rest should not be his concern. and there really turns out to be a way to get everything he needs without walking the same path as wen kexing, as the novel proves, because wen kexing had nobody when he was in the same situation while trying to survive the valley, while chengling has wenzhou who guide him and shield him and love him. (crying myself into a huddle over wen kexing and chengling and them being foils of each other.) so in that sense youre already putting it into words. chengling seems to have changed his mind over the course of the novel, he doesnt have that same outlook on vengeance as he as in the start. i think thats different for the show. in the show, there is this weighing of the concept of revenge against the concept of getting justice, and what both these things do and require of a person and what they can offer u as an individual, but also u as a collective, in the long run. they are seen as two different things and are explored and qestioned individually. i think that can be seen in the conflict with chengling and all these expectations everyone has of him and how he handles that.

#i cant say much more regarding the show rn. but i think it does something very similar to the novel #re: wen kexing and chengling getting their closure parallel to each other and being foils of each other #one walking a path the other doesnt have to or doesnt get to #chengling is kinda symbolically getting the kind of justice wkx would have deserved to and gets now through chengling #but for the show #their closure is not just holding the big bad accountable. its also the community effort of forging a better future together #aa this went off track. but i cant get into more detail re: chengling and vengeance for the show. still in my rewatch! #i hope this answers your question anyway!!!! #thank you for sending it to me i had a lot of fun! #i have a lot more to say but tumblr seems to impose a word limit on answering asks! >:( #something something martial arts are zzs's way of communication and he uses that rather than his words to give chengling what he needs #something something practising martial arts helps chengling discover the boundaries of his own body and reverts him back into a child #rather than the orphaned failure of a son who needs revenge to give himself meaning. like a tool. #something something martial arts is both chengling's cause of suffering and his tool of freeing himself #something something zzs knows for pretty much most of the novel that zcl has this grand potential inside him and simply ignores it #something something chengling's shifu (he has a shifu in the novel before zzs!) is an idiot who doesnt even see his disciple's potential #who blames chengling instead of reflecting upon himself (and how thats kinda like schools blaming neurodivergent and other kids for failing #and how zzs notices chengling's inert dormant potential / difficulty practically immediately and is probs uniquely qualified to teach him #drawing from his own experience with harsh teaching methods and surviving impossible tasks and breaking through body limits and difficultie #paired with being bamf at martial arts and probs having this vast pool of knowledge #something something zzs acting nasty but doing good (and nobody knows) and chengling turning out happier and more stable in the end #inbox #geneticcatalyst #tian ya ke #faraway wanderers #word of honor #meta #zhang chengling #zhou zishu #wen kexing

i try not to let it get to me but the knowledge i am always going to be The Stupid One in every situation i’m in just…really, really sucks. sigh. oh well. i stay silly :3c

#cant even blame it on being audhd because everyone else i know who is #is smart and talented and their brains work alright 😭 i'm just stupid and incapable #i feel like i’m the only person out there who does not get to experience any of the benefits or joys of these things #for me it is nothing but brain damage and endless suffering with no brightside or intelligence or anything #but then everyone tells me i’m the bad guy because if there was a magic button that would make me not audhd i would click it immediately #like why am i wrong for not wanting to suffer #everyone else seems to have a special interest or a fixation and they can remember information about those things but i...dont. i can't. LO #i do not experience the autistic joy everyone else talks about. i dont have the adhd focusing on what you like superpowers or whatever #my autism made me barely pass highschool and i couldnt handle community college and i had to drop out and i can barely handle having #an entry level job that everyone patronizes me about #i'm barely verbal and i am losing my ability to function to brainfog and everyone around me treats me like i'm their little pet idiot #but wanting to change that about myself makes me evil and bad or something i guess #sorry to whine on tumblr like the good old days but twitter is sick of my shit LOL 😭 #pmdd making me spiral worse than usual #one of those times where i'm realizing that if everyone else experiences these things totally different from me than maybe that was never #what was wrong with me in the first place lol. maybe i dont have an explanation and i'm back to being 10 15 19 24 sobbing wondering why im #like this. why i'm so stupid. not even in a self hating way in a legitimately proven way that i am functioning below average intelligence. #ok im done sorryyyyy god i forgot how good tumblr is to vent on #z

[kraviolis]

as i get older and continue to exist online i cant help but question why so many adults got into arguments with me over fandom bullshit when i was a teenager, and yet i also completely understand why they did.

#teenagers are so dumb godbless. and i dont mean intellectually. they can be pretty smart but all of them have -20 wisdom #i had to delete tiktok to prevent myself from continuing to argue with 14 year olds in the comments #bcus as an adult i really shouldnt but theyre so. GAH #here's the argument that was the final straw for me: #child: *the wildest and stupidest interpretation of a fictional media ive ever seen* #me: actually *explains the actual story and intention of the creator* #child: where does it say that #me: it doesnt say it explicitly but if you just look at the subtext and use media literacy its incredibly obvious #child: What Episode Does It Say That #it was that point i checked their profile and saw that theyre 14 and immediately deleted the app #how can i in good faith gonna argue about subtext with someone who probably hasnt even read of mice and men. or fucking romeo and juliet #im not gonna let myself stoop so low. im fucking 21 years old #but oh my god. the way that they talk down at you as if they arent currently in a developmental stage thats basically the sequel to toddler #infuriating. #and i was just as bad as a teenager i know for a fact i was because i was deep in the tumblr discourse trenches as a 14 y/o #i made the worst decisions as a 14 y/o #and i cant even just sit back and try to explain to a teen why i cant take them seriously bcus theyre just gonna get mad #and i cant even blame them bcus its not their fault!!! theyre literally just going through their terrible twos again!!! #oh my god. im so sorry to all the people who had to deal with me when i was a teenager #krav talks

[elsecrytt]

if you ever, and i mean EVER, in your entire time on this site, at ANY POINT, see me make a mistake, no you didnt

#sometimes i cant even blame it tumblrs trashy netcode #i make just dumb mistakes all the time and idk why i dont see them #is okay. it has not been a great week to be an elsey but i am doing my best #i finished one (1) thing but now i have to finish two more #i CRY i never finish things!! this is so unreasonable of the deadline i signed up for to ask!!

Do the donation thing on the post so it would get more attention not a separate post of it's own that will not get any at all

Do you see how content creators shouldn't have to beg for attention on the content creating website? Why must I clutter my beautiful posts when the reblog button is right there? Did you truly not like the post enough to share it with your friends? Must you continue to tease me with your likes? This isn't about the money, it's about taking the extra .5 seconds to reblog the thing you just left a like on, the very thing everyone is yelling at the new Twitter users to do. The very thing absolutely none of you who have been here long enough to know better will do

#not to blame tumblr for me quitting making content but it is directly the reason why i quit and let my abilities deteriorate into dust #i have writing prompts in my inbox that will never be answered #art requests that will never see the light of day #why should i give you a week of my time when you cant even give me a fraction of a second to share the fruits of my labor? #i was already doing it for free‚ was that not enough for you? #link's asks
