being Big and Brave and do things you do not want to do because it is The Right Thing is

bullshit

#Me #Hiding in the toilets #Hoping the dentist will cancel my surgery #Knowing I'm gonna go in there anyway #And they'll be like #How are you? #And I'll be like #Oh ho ho a little nervous! But excited to have this over and done with #When I would rather be doing 90 on the motorway home

nothing just casually waiting for the day when my head lies on someone's lap and they gently caress my hair and I just outright start sobbing because I'm so touch deprived 😁

#watch me bawl my eyes out #and I'll be like #what the fuck #stop #do it some more please #tears down my cheeks #edith rambles! 🪄

i've pavlov-ed my parents. anytime i go on a long angry rant, it ends with one of them waiting for about two second and then going "and i lost my shoe!"

#and i'll be like #AND I LOST MY SHOE 👹 #or if it was a sad angry rant #my response is AND I LOST MY SHOE 😞 #they just get me fr #also my 7 year old brother is a KONY stan #newsies #livesies #newsies live #2017 newsies #newsies broadway #˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳ newsies // random ❥

Also in the "i dont get romantic love" ship too, world its kind strange when people around you do things you just shrug to most of the time

Honestly I'm probably on the Aro spectrum

And it doesn't annoy me unless I literally need those feelings to try to empathize with someone I'm trying to help

Like they'd be saying stuff like I'm extremely sad because this person i love romantically might not be a good match rn, and it will be extremely sad for them and I will just...not get it?

Because I view partners dynamic like in any other platonic relationship and I just don't get that 'extra' thing that makes someone special

Like i feel some people cling onto other's because of this romantic love that seems overrated to me, when if they were a friend they wouldn't choose that person to be around because there's not added romanticism into it??????

Idk that's a theory.

#they'll be like #'but i love them' #and I'll be like #ok and? #i also tend to be a bit frivolous when i see the solution right in my face #and it's hard to remind myself that they in fact maybe are going though the phase of i need to feel my emotions #I don't get attached easily and it's surprisingly easy for me to leave people behind #so that also changes stuff

nothing bothers me more than finding a picture that looks like a screenshot of a music video and NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND WHERE IT’S FROM. EVER.

#me #anyway #at least i found one video #that i had a picture of #and couldn't find before #and now i have it #but that sent me on a search for another one #and i cannot #i can't #i will never #find what it's from #NO I WILL FIND IT EVENTUALLY #ONE DAY #SOMETHING WILL COME UP #AND I'LL BE LIKE #THERE IT IS #THAT'S IT #AND THEN I WILL BE AT PEACE #I WILL BE HAPPY #EVERYTHING WILL BE RIGHT

Still upset about this Development™ but we’re starting to progress from numbness to the bitter stage. 

#vent #i see my psych doctor on the 20th and he's gonna be like 'are you still seeing a therapist at -insert center here-' #and i'll be like #'no :)' #hopefully my clinic can assign me one from their roster but it's gonna be a hell of a wait #i can't go to a therapist that ISN'T from a notoriously LGBTQ+ friendly facility i will not put that shit on myself #so waiting for my clinic it is #anyway i'm super fucking salty right now so i'm gonna take it out on the giant navy vice admiral because he sucks and i hate him

I gotta say, one of the greatest achievements of my 20s was that I learned (mostly) to differentiate between:

"I truly do not want to go" and

"I'm just feeling the Demand Avoidance, and I will like it once I get there."

#I have learned in my 20s #sometimes I DO just gotta make myself go places even if I don't feel like it #I'll like it once I get there.

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

#the person who's re-emailed me asking for help with something: yes I should get back to you. yes I will get back to you #but in the meantime I will look at the email like 'I am busy right now! I have deadlines! do not bother me about this unrelated thing!' #and like in 15 minutes when I'm ready to be an adult again I'll get back to them

Yes, Greece still exists, we didn't all die 2000 years ago. Yes, people speak Greek. You people are so fucking stupid for real. So many of you claim to love ancient shit but can't even acknowledge the actual living culture of the people whose mythology and classics you romanticize. You keep leaving annoying comments about how you just forget Greek people still exist, thinking you're being quirky because you love ancient stuff soooo much that you forgot about the people it came from. You think about it so little you don't even realize that an actual Greek person has to read this shit, making it clear how little you actually care about the culture beyond the romanticized (and westernized) mythology. Don't claim you love Greece, don't use our mythology anymore if you can't acknowledge that we're still around without making it about how little you think about us. It's mind boggling that you'd think a Greek person would read this and think you're anything but obnoxious. Explode.

#this post is edited because you're all annoying. maybe I'll turn it back someday #it sucks that people can't even be normal about a funny family story once the fact that we're greek comes into the fold #suddenly its all about blorbofied mythology shit and idiots saying ''GREECE IS REAL???? 🤯🤯🤯🤯'' yeah percy j*ckson didnt make it up #maybe it would be less annoying if they weren't all saying it like I'd think it's funny that they don't know we exist instead of like #disturbing on a personal level. like what the fuck #man if you can't acknowledge we exist in real life just name your oc Icarus something else idgaf #so yeah explode. Skase. Voulos'to. Valto mesa sto katamalakismeno mouni tis mana's sou. Psophise. etc.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order #at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers #90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies” #serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent #like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries #but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate #and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited... #i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something #cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare #and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest. #it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!' #'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members... #..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)' #anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language? #maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity #and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media #and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons #and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators #instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period #anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value” #and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives #so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs) #happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world #(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills) #and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on... #...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin #oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works? #beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value #and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the #important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

it’s difficult to be a dom with anarchist leanings.

my sub will be like “i have to tell you something... i broke a rule. i’ll accept whatever punishment you see fit.” and i’m like. rise up comrade you have nothing to lose but your padded restraints. no doms no masters. oh you want me to spank you. yeah i can do that.

#text #mine #ON THE REAL i'm like rule breaking is cool. also i know you're busy and stuff. #fight the power #i'll beat you for fun later #best hits

I meant to draw this back when I did this other doll comic as another side, to show a doll that had been cared for instead of abused, but somehow I wasn't able to finish it till like 10 minutes ago, anyway I did it *confetti*

#nardacci art #doll restoration #comic #I had the thumbnail sketches for the panel layouts in my files for like years #I've had the notes on my desktop since uuuhhh #wow 2020 I guess????? that's when I posted the cursed doll comic OTL #I have 1 more to do so maybe I'll get that one done by 20 freaking 28

Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

#LIKE FIIIIRE! HELLFIIIIIRE! THIS FIRE ON MY TONGUE! #I therefooooore requiiiire a new paste tooooo cleeaaan gums #It's not my fault! I'm not to blame! it is the Colgate brand and Crest who've set this flame! #it's not my fault‚ if in their plans‚ they made the toothpaste so much stronger than a maaaaaaannnnnn #protect me‚ oh grocers! don't let the menthol touch my lips‚ don't let its fire sear my mouth and gums! #PROVIDE ME WITH FLUORIDE‚ but not mixed with the fires of Hell‚ and I'll keep all my teeth for years to cooooommeeee #HELLFIRE #MINT FIRE #IS ALL THAT I CAN FIND! #I may be! requiired! to order paaaaste oooonline!

I want Toby Fox three years after the last chapter to make a game where it's just the Fun Gang going on a road trip to the east coast to go fishing. They raid a gas station on the way to grabs snacks for the road (and the lobsters they catch). Happy April Fool's.

people are so weird about babies like calling them crotch goblins, reducing being a parent "letting someone cum in you" etc etc etc like those are tiny little humans you don't have to want to have any of your own but they are literally just small people & it's weird to constantly describe them in crude sexual terms and/or as subhuman

#it bugs me. like i'll probably never be a mom but i genuinely rly like kids including babies #& obv not everyone does & that's fine but like it weirds me out how crude people choose to be abt them #soapbox #suggestive
