It seems like one of the biggest and most common mental hangups I find in almost everyone is a failure to adapt to superseding concepts.

That's to say, sometimes, earlier on in life or in understanding of something, you will be told a simplified version of the truth, often a black and white silhouette of an idea. However, the more you learn, the more you're meant to find the shades, the blurriness, the nuances of everything. It seems like many people don't understand this, or more accurately, are never rewarded for doing this.

The issue seems to be that on a rhetorical level, the most easily transmissible ideas are those black and white statements, the ones that punch the best. Most people don't attempt to engage in concepts on a deeper level out of their own interest, so if all they are surrounded by is surface level statements, their understanding of the world will never advance beyond a surface level.

This is what happens with bigots when they are confronted with actually interacting with the people they choose to hate on a more personal level. To even speak to someone is to treat them in some way as a person, and so, while they almost never budge on anything that doesn't directly affect their life even after these sorts of learning experiences, they are forced to add shade on something they desperately want to be black and white. Obviously, many people's delusions win out even with direct contact, but still.

This also most certainly affects leftist spaces. It feels like there are two different kinds of leftist spaces, ones where the solution to differences is to put up harsh walls and outlines between everything and police those rules strictly, and the other where the solution is to let them intermix and talk it out. It's sadly difficult to simply cast away that first one, the silhouette, when it comes to politics, because even progressive groups need to consolidate together to push on a rhetorical level for cultural acceptance and systematic changes, but the internals cannot reflect this idea, because it simply isn't how anything should work. It's a defensive reaction to difference, drawing lines around yourself so everything makes clear and simple sense.

Absolutism is a philosophy for children, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It just means that we're meant to graduate from that eventually. Allow yourself to see the grey, and you might find that there's a beauty to the shading.

A very sincere f- u to the person on YouTube who uploaded a video with the title something like Sleep Token unmasked - their true identities AND PUT A FUCKING PICTURE OF ONE OF THEM (i think i was iii because i kind of know what their real hair looks like) AS A THUMBNAIL

I was just looking for a music video, but apparently that's not safe anymore either🥲 Look, if you do upload something like this, don't put something like this as thumbnail. I obviously don't know if it was just to grab attention and if it was actually one of them and I looked away so fast I didn't get the details but my brain still decided to shelve this as a core memory and won't let me forget what I saw🫣

Most fans, me included, don't want to know their true identity and the band wants to remain anonymous as well. Please respect that

Unpopular opinion but the reason being a teenager sucks is less to do with hormones and social cliques and more to do with the fact adults fucking hate teenagers. The fact that adults expect teenagers to be able to take on adult responsibilities yet don't deserve rights of an adult. They don't see teenagers as human beings and they aren't prepared to see kids with their own formed identities and humanity. Teenagers are so sexualized and seen as needing to take on more and more adult responsibilities. Yet when they want rights and humanity they are denied. The years your brain spends wanting nothing more than to form an identity are being taken away from you. Teenagers are essentially being kicked out of social spaces unless they have an extra 40 dollars lying around anytime they want to go out. Teenagers being kicked out of the mall just for existing or groomed into the school to prison pipeline. And now creating legislation to keep them off the Internet. Our society hates teenagers. And does everything we can to hurt them. The fact that anyone makes it out of their teenage years without trauma is a fucking miracle frankly.

Sorry I'm not low empathy autistic in the "mysterious loner boy who secretly cares about his friends and talks in a monotone voice" way and I'm actually just completely indifferent to the suffering of people I don't know personally and help strangers out of a sense of "this is the right thing to do" and not "I feel so bad for this person" or guilt.

I sit and listen to my friends even though I don't really care about hearing about their problems because I know they'll be upset if I don't, and despite the fact I honestly can't genuinely care about the issue itself, I care about the impact it's having on my friends and that's enough to make me want to help them through it.

Did you know that's actually an expression of empathy all of its own?

It will absolutely happen again I literally am not even sorry

You gyns ever think about how so many men who hate women will straight up admit that their hatred for women originates from some negative experience they had with a girl in like middle school and just lose your mind a bit because you realize that if women generalized how they view/treat men in the same way that men generalize their views/treatment of women there literally wouldn’t be a single woman alive that didn’t posses an intense hatred of men and act accordingly, or is it just me?

This Is A Gay Asian Rant About BL Comments Made By Some Queer Westerners I See Sometimes.

So you know of those gays (usually white) that made dumb tiktok dancing to list of countries that legalized same sex marriage and list of countries that discriminate against LGBTQIA+ poeple as a way to say something racist. yeah i kinda got the same vibes from some comments regard how asian BL is homophobic just cause they don't live up to queer western standard. look, i'm not saying that some BLs and their creators don't deserve criticism regard how they capitalized/exploited queerness for an easy cash grab.

But people need to understand that Asian countries despite recent progress are still very much culturally conservatives. so when people says that thai bl is homophobic and all the characters looks like bunch of straight guys, which is true for some olders thai BLs i'm not gonna denied that. but after all this time and newer BLs generally being very queer and most of creators being out queer themself and poeple still making these comments, i'm annoyed.

And don't get me start on the actors. you don't know them! why are you making assumption and calling them queerbaiter just cause they acts in bl. like maybe they're straight, maybe they're not but what they're definitely doing is making queer content for you know, queer people here. so when you made halfass comments about their sexuality what do you think that made other queer people who still in the closet feels. and when you add the nationality to that, "these thai bl pair are this and that, this korean actor is so ungrateful for his bl past", etc. when our societies are still very much still in progress regard LGBTQIA+ acceptance. it make us living here feels fucking awful like somehow we're lesser queer than people in the west just cause we don't have citibank at pride or some shit.

And the shittiest in my humbled opinion are comments regard censored chinese bls. people do know like, that the creators making these bls are risking their livelihoods for this. that these shows getting make at all are miracles. yes it sucked that they're censored but they're still very much queer shows making by queer people who want to express thier queerness despite the chinese government being the chinese government. when people dimissing these shows as not belonging in queer media, you're also dimissing their creators and audiences as not belonging in the community.

Look what i want to say is that we're trying our best over here, and maybe our best are not up to your liking. the ways we talk and express our queerness maybe still can be perceived as problematic by western queer standard. but these media are our house and you're the guests. for people aren't shitty we appreciated that you're here engaging and loving our media, this is your home too and you're welcome in it. i can speak for myself that i very much love being here on tumblr and interacting with people from all over the world who love BL. but for people who are being shitty sometimes about asian bl.

YOU'RE THE GUESTS, BEHAVE!

Sincerely, STFU

I KNOW IT'S TOXIC.BUT, MY LOVE, THE TOXICITY I FUCKING ENDURED SHOULD HAVE MADE ME A RADIOACTIVE BIOMEDICAL HAZARD, BY NOW. SO IT'S MY CHOICE TO TURN MY TRAUMA N TOXICITY INTO A FUCKING AESTHETIC.

I don't get why the fuck everyone literally fucking everyone shits on girlbloggers like damn i never heard you comment on toxic men, never addressing about all those women hating twitter threads. Like, Men shit on Women every fucking day, and we can't even post toxic feminine things.

why worry about the 3D if you’re guaranteed your manifestation? because if you assume something, it’s instantly yours. spend more time enjoying the gift of imagination and creation, the materialisation will automatically happen, it HAS to, it’s law. assume, fulfill, detach (me to myself help)

Thinking about an argument scenario with abby, where you’re so fucking mad at her—but she just keeps trying to get you to fuck with her.

Of course—not an actual argument that would require a civilized or serious conversation, but more like a playful argument that you just happened to be way too invested in. (ex: an argument over what dip is better for chips, comparing you and hers favorite shows, etc. not actual serious stuff!) You could be furious out of your own mind—annoyed, aggravated, in the mood to throw a literal table at her, and all she would do is baby you.

You had been arguing about this for the past half hour, and she still had the audacity to sit here and smirk at you while she manspreaded on the couch. You were pacing around the room, rolling your eyes and trying to explain to her the problem at hand. “abby fucking anderson—just, god.” you said with the deepest sigh you’ve ever taken to put emphasis on how frustrated you really were. “Y’know what? We’ll just order doordash. God—you can’t fuckin’ take this seriously.”

Abby pouted with a laugh that sounded way too amused than it should’ve, which only made you even closer to actually throwing a table at her or something. She chuckles provokingly, “Aww, is my baby upset? does she just need a good fuck to keep her back in her place?” She said in such a way that bothered you way too much than it should have. You rolled your eyes and practically yelped, “abby—my fucking god.”

She looked at you teasingly with a cheeky smile on her face, “Yes pretty girl?”

You sighed, “Just—just be quiet. For gods sake.”

-

Next thing you know, you’re crumbling before her eyes as you bounced up and down on her 7 inch strap, the tip of it reaching the rim of your cervix.

She keeps her hands on your waist, being sure to give you enough support you need to ride her properly—but being sure to still also give you a little bit of a hard time.

She said with a sly smile, “Fuck…This is all my baby needed? Was some good cock? Hm?” She paused to thrust up into you, causing you to whimper. “Some good dick to make her shut up? Realize her place, Yeah?”

You nodded weakly, depending on her for practically giving your limbs all the stability it needed—looking at her with fucked out eyes. “M-mhhmm…”

She made sure to make you say it—to say you lost with your own mouth. “Won’t talk back to me anymore, won’t you baby?”

You nodded obediently like you did the past hundred times shes made you cum, “mmm—mmhmmm….w-wont…t-talk…” you paused to catch your breath, “..b-back..”

She pulled you close to her with a satisfied smile, “Atta girl.”

She knew she could dumb you down, no matter what.

Look femboy porn is cool n all. I mean it. I like that stuff, but honestly sometimes when I search up femboys the thing I'm looking for is outfits and fashion inspiration. Yes, you have a very nice butt, but where's the DRIP.

It doesn’t get better with time. It gets worse. People leave. Love dies. Patience and understanding grows thin.

My life is utterly destroyed.

The thing about disco elysium is that, you have the most pathetic miserable disgraceful human at your hand to play as and you play and try to piece him back together and you start to love him so dearly and you start to care so so much about him that it hurts every time he is humiliated or heartbroken. Because no matter how bad he has fucked up, despite all his mistakes and flaws, you want him to LIVE, you want him to live even if he is ready to die any second, and you want him to be loved. You want him to experience big tenderness. And then it gets you thinking, this man is far worse than you could ever be and you still want him to keep on living, it's only fair that you'd want that for yourself too you know? And you know the pain he is in, his heartache is soulcrushing and yet, yet you don't let him just lay down and die because you believe he can move on and find happiness. You think that's what he deserves. And if you believe Harry can do that, you have no choice but to believe the same for yourself too you know?

Tw: mentions of (utting and generalized EDs, being svicidal, and just poor mental choices ig

!! PLEASE BLOCK, DON’T REPORT!!

I fucking despise when people say, “it’s a cry for help,” when it comes to EDs or cvtting. Unless you’re actively walking around, showing it off, no the fuck it is not.

Cvtting is a poor coping mechanism for some and the only way to live for others. Most people don’t want others to find out, and if they do, it is usually in a case where they want to show off the scars bc mentally ill brain thinks it’s pretty or is proud of the cvts.

People don’t say alvholism is a cry for help or using s*x to SH, only if it involved cvtting or ⭐️ -ving and it pisses me off.

It is not a cry for help or attention-seeking, it is just an addictive and destructive behavior.

I cannot overstate how tired I am of “hot takes” in the fandom that Rhys is an evil abuser, Cassian is a beta sycophant who won’t stand up for nesta, Azriel is a white knight who needs therapy, etc etc etc etc.

If you hate the main characters of a series, why are you reading? Why are you engaging?? And shaming other fans “I can’t believe you still support Rhys, the abuser, he SAd feyre, blah blah blah”

Do these people just enjoy being upset? Do they understand that in our world, women practically cannot enjoy/support ANY IRL heroes/celebrities because every single day another one is outed as an abuser or sicko.

It is already so freaking exhausting as a woman to live in this world so WHY do we need to bring that toxicity into FANTASY. Like yes, many of Rhys’ actions, if a real man did them, would be unacceptable behavior. But this is a FANTASY series. You can read and enjoy with the understanding that it is not real and that objectionable behavior happens and is justified by the love the character has for his LI. In a fantasy world, you can believe in this “perfect love” that justifies objectionable behavior. Because it’s words on paper and that’s how the author wrote it. If Rhys lied to feyre during her pregnancy and the author says it was because he loved her and truly believed it was the best thing for her, we can take that at face value. In real life of course, this would NOT work, as there is no such thing as a perfect, selfless love, and even if there were it doesn’t excuse any wrong behavior.

Idk if this rant makes any sense, but seriously I am so sick of hearing about MMC (who authors wrote with the intention of them being ‘good’) and how toxic/abusive/evil they are, because there is already too damn much of that in REAL life. Real abusers are out there and we have to deal with them every single fucking day. Let us have a perfect fantasy PLEASE.
