#anyways sorry 4 the rant

[pkmn-smashorpass]

blaziken will always be special to me cause after I had a car accident, holding onto my tiny blaziken plushie made me feel safe enough to get into a car again, so I'd say Blaziken has already smashed me, in my heart.

YOURE NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE ME CRY ON THE POKÉMON SEX BLOG 🥺

#okay but this gave me feelings #I also got into a big car accident but as an adult and I was driving #I was super scared and injured #this is gonna be a long story sorry #anyway the pain was so bad pain pills weren’t helping #so I asked my mom if she could grab anything stronger from the pharmacy #she said she had two weed gummies in a secret drawer and to take one and just sleep #so I took one and it got rid of the pain but I wanted to stay awake and enjoy the high #and I marathoned all of the Peachsaliva Undertale playthrough #while super stoned and unable to get out of bed #and 4 days after the accident I had to drive again to pick up my brother from work #and I had a panic attack on the road and had to pull over but Undertale helped inspire me to keep going #I had determination lmao #and I kept driving and it got easier every time #sorry for the whole rant #ask #blaziken #pokemon #pkmn #pkmn smash or pass #pokemon smash or pass #smash or pass

this one goes out to all the peeps who feel like they *have* to follow Whatever The Canon Media Says and not stray away from it at all + keep their own additions/hcs to themselves bc of stupid fuckass [popular fandom] discourse that they have been made aware of but did not participate in

#still applies even if the media that im talking about is not [a popular media with a fandom] methinks #anyway sorry 4 the rant #not a reblog

[utilitycaster]

the thing is, the accounts on cr twitter who have these wild takes aren't even shippers

they're all about nuance about the gods, aeor, ludinus, ruby vanguard.....but then have these extreme views about orym, say he's got bloodlust and pretty much equate him to a cop/military soldier

Hey anon! So I will admit as I have in the past that I largely avoid CR Twitter because I hate Twitter as a platform and the community of CR Twitter specifically (more below) but I will say the tweets I have seen have largely been from people who are, if not the most rabid of shippers, shippers. I did in fact just go there and click on "Orym" as it was trending, and the tweets to this effect are largely from people with black and purple hearts in their names. I don't think they're necessarily conscious that this is the reason why they try so hard to discredit Liam's characters (and I think the desire for Laudna to be a Traumatized Innocent rather than a person who has done her own share of harm is an even larger factor) but I do think it is part of it.

I should note: a significant point of reference for me is that the person who famously said "do not uwuify this" re Orym post episode 63 is Wally Wests on Twitter. Look, I know I use the word "stupid" a lot, and I'm trying to reduce it not because I think it's a problem to use but because it reduces the impact and also heavily implying people are stupid without outright saying it tends to be more effective on every level but god this person is the dumbest motherfucker in the fandom and I'm not even kidding. Like, they're the "Australian white person who writes like Rupi Kaur but worse" I've referenced. Because of The Algorithm they are weirdly popular in that space and it baffles me because I honestly don't understand why every single thing they say isn't just filled with replies saying "are you fucking stupid." Like I physically cannot understand how you can have a brain and read a single word they say and go "this is a person I should listen to." They are also not a big shipper, but they do like the ship from what I understand. Specifically on Tumblr, the people echoing this nonsense are pretty much shippers.

With that said yeah, I do think it's worth addressing the soldier aspect. First off, if we're talking cops, why is Bryce, pleasant but forgettable minor NPC, inexplicably popular in this fandom despite them being an actual crownsguard of an actual authoritarian government. Like are all fictional cops bastards or no (fwiw my opinion is no, because the context of the world in which they exist is extremely important; I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies)? But also...I've run into this with Worlds Beyond Number too, and it actually came up on the Fireside chat, but there are words people hear (empire, religion, soldier) and automatically go "BAD BAD BAD" and don't spend any time thinking about how we've come to these conclusions. And for what it's worth I think Empire is always ultimately going to be bad because of its source in conquest; religion is neutral with the potential to harm or hurt; and soldier is deeply contextual and inherently gray; but all are very valid things to explore in fiction, where the war crimes and abuses aren't real. I remember seeing a take about Candela Obscura shitting on how half the party is former soldiers, and like...the messaging of this season of Candela is undeniably about the immense psychological damage of war, and the soldiers were defending their home against a colonizing force rather than doing any sort of invading, but some people are so high on a paper-thin unexamined concept of what I presume they tell themselves is leftism that they cannot see that. Orym's husband did not die trying to invade a nation for their oil. He died because people trying to unleash a horror ran an attack on their town as a practice run. Orym's experience as a soldier has always been one of defense, never conquest or destruction, and that is important to understand. It doesn't mean that in the future Zephrah couldn't become an oppressive power (and various worldbuilding in Exandria does explore the idea of small community watches or protective guards growing deeply corrupt or expansionist over time, but god knows the people saying this shit have the lore knowledge of a dead pigeon), but the aspects of being a soldier he is engaging with are those of personal sacrifice and protecting one's own, not killing for resources or ideology (which, let's be real, is usually an excuse to take the resources of those you disagree with).

#answered #Anonymous #i've also now gotten like. 3 or 4 examples of how fucking BONKERS this cohort's cherrypicking is re: video clips #they cut off just before the thing that clearly contradicts their point starts. it would be funny if it didn't remind me so much of fox new #anyway uh. sorry anon for going on a rant this is why i don't go on twitter. #long post #cr tag

[knackeredforever]

We like to talk about reading comprehension a lot on this site but no one in the history of humankind has worse reading comprehension than the people who were convinced to join the military because of the metal gear games.

#like these people played the games where literally every character rants at length about how becoming a soldier ruined their lives #and someone sees that and goes WOW WAR IS AWESOME SOLID SNAKE IS SO COOL I WANT TO KILL PEOPLE WITHOUT REMORSE GOD BLESS AMERICA #congratulations you have somehow missed the point of one of the most unsubtle anti war series ever made #if you watch the mgs2 GW patriots censorship codec call that’s just before the final boss #and don’t immediately want to destroy the us government for practically letting exactly what GW is describing happen today #or at least think deeply about it in anyway something is wrong with you #also mgs has been calling out video games being used as a propaganda tool for getting people to join the military since mgs2 #and especially mgs 4 which is crazy when mgs4 came out in 2008 and call of duty has been getting even more propaganda heavy as the games #go on #sorry for the larger amount of tags I’ve been thinking about this for a while and I needed to rant about it #mgs #metal gear solid #metal gear

#txt #delete later #turned rbs off bc of that #long ass rant incoming i wanted to say these for a while but didnt wanna upset people but i need to say these #one thing i liked about the main 4 is that they each resembled a shape #jett was round #jerome was triangle #donnie was- i think rectangle?? #and dizzy was square #and i loved that- the characters resembling a shape about their characters #i love it when shows do that with their main characters- for example rottmnt did it with the turtles #and they took that- i mean shes still square based but do you get my point #also im sorry but the cat-like lights looks so bad #the round ones complimented the squares why did they change it #WHY DID THEY CHANGE THE DESIGNS AT ALL??? #im all for reboots- im actually positive on them but...idk man #dont get me wrong s8 looks great so far- the animation the golden cousins sally tino and 'sheila' etc #but jett and dizzys redesigns are nah #dont get me started on 'donnie' too #anyway if you read this all the way down here im sorry

Love how only a few people survive their traps. And by love I mean hate. Jigsaw, no matter who was wearing the mask, was self-righteous and wrong. It was hardly ever justified. Those were people who needed help. Who deserved a second chance at life. But not like that.

#jay's asides #saw #sorry to get sentimental </3 #i’m just thinking about how amanda got put in her trap because she was an addict #she deserved actual help #thinking of the guy who attempted suicide #adam who only did what he was payed to do and who was kind to amanda in the stairwell #zep who was kind to john in the hospital #jeff who needed therapy to cope with his grief #rigg who just wanted to help people #the woman in the classroom trap in saw 4 who’s husband was abusive #anyway yeah tags rant

VERY tiring to know that people are still up in arms about Eternatus even several years later. I knew letting the public know I was it’s trainer was a mistake. Fuck me for trying to ease everyone’s fear about it’s whereabouts I guess

Seriously I didn’t spend months trying to earn its trust and train it just for a bunch of jackasses online, a lot of which who weren’t even IN GALAR during the Darkest Day, to act like they know more about it than me, IT’S OWN TRAINER.

“It’s dangerous” Bitch first of all I fought it head on and it almost killed me, you don’t think I know that?? Secondly I’m Zacian’s trainer too AND best friends with Zamazenta’s, you don’t think we could handle it if for some reason it DID lose control again? Also, if the legendary wolves who literally fought it in the ancient past can understand Eternatus wasn’t at fault, so can you.

UGH. I’m sorry, I know people aren’t afraid or concerned for no reason but STILL. It’s like they don’t even care that we found an ethical solution to handle Eternatus, or even care to learn about it, it feels like they won’t be satisfied until it’s dead.

-Blake

Yeah, I get where it all comes from, Eternatus is a very recently discovered Pokémon after all, a very powerful one at that. But people are so quick to jump to conclusions about it, even after all the research Sonia’s published about our findings on it. It’s a living creature just like any other Pokémon on this earth! It was Rose’s fault to begin with, anyway. He’s the one who overpowered it with those Wishing Stars.

Maybe I should make a post about some of the data collected on Eternatus here on the blog, too? It’s opened up to people a bit more and become more docile over time after recovering from what Rose did to it.

#(ooc: someone pissed me off today so I’m blowing off steam by having my fictional character rant about fictional issues LMAO) #(also this post is partially me asking to share my Eternatus hcs here) #(I love the big dragon worm very much) #pokeblogging #pokemon irl #pokeblog rp #pokemon oc #pokemon #trainer blake #rival hop #(also the ‘sims ppl want Eternatus dead’ thing was a concept I made up 4 drama) #(it’s not actually a take I’ve seen here) #(*SOME ppl not sims ppl sorry) #(anyways just clarifying that) #unreality

[muddlemore]

Saw some bitch comment about how “Tiana’s bayou adventure” is gonna be too hard to say/remember as if literally anyone uses the full names of the rides 💀

#and even if u KNOW the names u come up with short phrases because it’s called being a fucking human #parks are crowded and u have to move quick. whatever syllable u cling to of any ride is its name forever now #we were just at Epcot and the amount of people who count pronounce caballero was common. ratatouille even #it’s such a stupid fucking argument 😭 #I think the only ppl who say the full names of rides are the staff members #and that’s just to not confuse visitors. u KNOW amongst themselves they’re calling them ''the tall one'' n shit LOL #anyway. sorry for ranting and raving it’s fucking 4 am #shout out to the person who replied to them saying they’re just admitting they’re racist and illiterate 😭

One of the most growing up experiences and discovering you’re neurodivergent ever is just

“There’s a word for that!” tm

The second most experience is

“Oh I’m not terrible, I’ve just got this disorder that I either cannot help or currently don’t have the right support to mitigate”

#cuz our society really tells us if we deviate from the norm or dare to have problems different to the average #then we’re the problem #anyways just learnt that my uber awful disruptive lazy embarrassing sleep habits that my parents shamed me for and that barred me from #accessing most of society due to the fact that work and school depend on you getting consistent sleep and shops shut early so you can’t just #get any food bc u woke up at 4 and it takes you like an hour on a good day to prepare to go out and shops with necessary shit shut at 5 and #so you just have no toothpaste ever #ANYWAYS THIS IS ALL ADHD AND SPECIFICALLY DELAYED SLEEP PHASE SYNDROME #NOT ONLY DO I HAVE A THING THAT BARS ME FROM ESSENTIAL LIFE SHIT #BUT IVE BEEN MADE TO FEEL LIKE SHIT FOR EVEN HAVING THE PROBLEM #AND ALL THE ADVICE PEOPLE GIVE ME IS APPARENTLY NOT APPLICABLE TO MY SPECIAL LITTLE BRAIN THAT DONT WORK LIKE ITS EXPECTED TOO #how great for mee :’) #adhd #sorry rant over

#i am close to tears - beware there is a rant about my life in the tags ahead so watch out - it's nothing VERY serious but it's... well #also this is literally about supernatural convention so it's not like a serious problem but it is a problem for me personally #so anyway last year when they announced misha for purgatory con 8 in dusseldorf i was like yes yes yes and i bought the tickets because: #1. i had a whole year to plan a trip 2. going to spn con was this little dream of mine because i've been in this fandom for years so #so i thought hey i deserve a little treat. i want to and deserve to go to a con and they just announced misha and i'd love to go #(and then they also announced jensen. and then jared too so like all 3 main guys will be there so !! a Treat !! yay!) and also Why Not #because it's in germany so it's the closest i would ever get a convention because i am from poland [*] no conventions here sorry #so i was like yeah the stars seem to have alligned yeah AND I BOUGHT THE TICKET. and the thing is SOLD OUT. and 3 main actor men are there #and a lot of mutuals that i'd finally love to meet maybe if they feel like it or whatever but i'd love to meet tumblr people so there's tha #and now. i just spent 3 hours after work looking for flights and everything. and. the conclusion. after 3 hours of looking at every possibl #way for me to get to Dusseldorf at the days of the con. well. the conclusion is i have no way to get there. and i am stuck. #and there are flights and they are not even that expensive. but the HOURS are horrible. i checked different airports and even looked at #flights to dortmund and i literally have no way to get there in a way that makes any sense... because arriving at 4pm on saturday is #too late. and the other option is being there at 8 am - cool - but i have no way of getting to the airport at 4 am. i'd have to take #additional day off from work (not an option). and i literally don't know what to do. it's almost 1 am and i should be happily asleep and i #am trying to solve this problem lmao because on one hand i really want to go and i want to figure out a way to get there 1. on time 2. in a #way that won't cost me 1/3 of my paycheck ; and on the other hand i just want to email the organizer to return the ticket or resell it to #someone because i know there will be someone who wants to go because the event is sold out #WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS HARD...... #AS I WRITE THIS I AM FULLY AWARE THIS IS SUCH A FIRST WORLD PROBLEM i know!!!!!! fully aware!!!! #but i just :(( really wanted to go :((( but i am slowly leaning towards the option of not going :((( because money and time :(( #and the kilometers between me and the con place :((((( #personal

[rollercoasterwords]

I just read ATWMD (or WFRAU) in one night after seeing some of your posts about it and OH MY GOD I'M OBSESSED.

Some of my favourite parts so far:

REMUS LUPIN. God I love him

The interesting exploration of the magical world, voldemort's brainwashing, muggles and elves (it fits so well within the world, while also making sure that some of jkr's unfortunate world building ideas, like the idea that slaves "want to be slaves", is taken out)

Lily Evans. I love her in every universe, and this is no exception. I LOVE her friendship with Regulus, its so precious :')

The whole 'werewolf fighting ring' world; the collars, the sponsorships, is so interestinggg and really reveals Sirius' privilege

Sirius' whole journey coming to terms with the ways he's been brainwashed is <33

Sirius and James fighting!! I never thought I'd be excited to find a fic where they're not friends but it's actually HILARIOUS

SORRY FOR RAMBLING, I just needed to show you all my love for this fic. Also I'm excited to see where the jegulily love triangle is going ;)

ahh thank u!! i've been having lots of fun imagining how all these characters would be different in a voldemort-wins au, so i'm glad ur also enjoying those characterizations! + it has also been v fun rewriting the lore + changing things up, so i'm glad 2 know it's appreciated <3 one thing tho i would warn u rn as i have warned everyone else who has mentioned or asked similar things: u should not be counting on jegulily or any romantic relationships aside from wolfstar in this fic. i am also excited for where the relationships between james + regulus + lily will go but...just want to make expectations very clear so that i do not get people getting angry @ me for including/not including a ship they were expecting lol

#i have just seen people act really weird when it comes to jegulus + all adjacent ships in fics so. i'm nervous lmao #honestly anticipating that there will be people who get pissy with me regardless + accuse me of either including a ship that wasn't tagged #or not including a ship after like...making it seem like i was going to #so i am trying 2 temper expectations early to avoid as much of that as i can #have already had comments/messages asking for like. every variety of ship between those three lmao #'please don't include jegulus!' 'please include jegulus!' 'please include jily!' 'please don't include jily!' 'please include jegulily!' #'please don't include jegulily!' and it's just like. i am so sorry but i think every single one of u is going to end up disappointed #if u care enough 2 be telling me what ships u want to see in a fic that i am not even writing 4 u.... #anyway. sorry went on a bit of a rant i'm not annoyed at u anon there's just been a slow buildup of irritating comments abt this topic #so it activates my fight or flight response now lmao #ask #wfrau

Ugh plans for disability pride month include I have a doctors appointment and maybe I’ll finally bring up my pain (horrifying, especially as a fat person and especially with a doctor who still hasn’t put me on my adhd meds I previously had yet. Maybe I’ll also ask about those because help.) trying to get a therapist and also. Making that phone call begging the state to not cut my assistance benefits and to believe me when I say i don’t work due to health + mental health reasons at the moment (negative hopes)

#starts throwing up hands on knees y’all believe me (they have no hope) #last time I tried to explain the only jobs that I’ve found will hire me are physical ones (no high school diploma) and #I can’t walk around Walmart w out getting nauseous and out of breath from back pain #and every job I’ve worked has been the same #w out the ‘well not every job is physical’ but I physically can not do a job where I need to be on my feet. I can’t accomplish standing on #my feet for over 2 hours w out yhe pain being all I can focus on and that rules out most jobs #and good luck finding an office job w no ged (I’m trying to work on this. part of why I’m trying to get a therapist + back on my adhd meds) #ik there’s call centers and stuff but 1-I don’t have phone service and 2 I have problems w #annoyingly #coherent thoughts sometimes and also not freezing up and stuttering or going silent when I get nervous #which interacting w customers makes me #also in the past they also haven’t called me back cause of the diploma thing #anyway sorry rant. #here’s hoping I can get some answer for my pain that’s not ‘you’re fat lolllll’ #chronic pain conditions run in my family #my grandma And at least one aunt. and my sister and my mom who has like 4 overlapping pain conditions #smiles #ack maybe I should also talk about the daily pounding headaches

So I might lose my heat because the douchebag propane gas service that my dad is enrolled in to refill every few months.... has evidently not refilled our propane tank in a few fucking months as the capacity is measuring below 5%. And they don't want to come out today lol

#my dad checked it by chance while walking the dogs #when he first called they said they were going to come today #then they called back and said #''well it can last 4-5 days under 5%'' yeah bitch ASSUMING its the firsy day its dropped under 5% and not the third or fourth day. #because who fucking KNOWS how long its been so low because you fags havent been refilling it. like youre fucking supposed to. lol #hate me normies who see 5pm and become allergic to literally any kind of work or any sort of exception to any emergency whatsoever #like sorry cuntress is my impending heating emergency impeding you from getting home on time? #refill my fucking propane tank you bitch lmao. fix your wrongs AS IS your responsibility to do so. #disclaimer: cuntress and bitch are being used gender-neutrally in this rant. any worthess man woman or otherwise nonbinary person may be a #a cuntress or bitch in this context. anyway #its 36° and dropping. :)

Every day I tell myself "all I have to do is make it through today" and I'm realizing that I don't know how I feel about the fact that I feel like I have to tell myself that every single day.
