#because that just seems horrific

[unironicallycringe]

man I'm just gonna say that it's incredibly fucking weird to walk onto a stranger's blog, project your own predatory age headcanons onto a character with no canon age, and then decide that means the blogger condones it.

like?? my dude?? the only person talking about that is you because it's your headcanon?

"you're bad because I think of this ageless character as a 30yo being paired with a teen" well I sure goddamn don't and I didn't need to hear that shit! it's not only extremely inappropriate, it's creepy as fuck! so like, maybe do some self-reflecting on why you decided that a stranger should abide by your headcanon, and maybe also stop doing that.

Pen doodles from yesterday and then digital for today

Katale and Rudyard but as little crime babies. Since he's known her for a while and just thought she looked like a little street thug despite being higher ranking than him in the crime organization at first, the cat-ear hairstyle was just A Thing for her. And it spawned the nickname he would use in private of "Kitty" and even when she grows her hair out and he grays even more he still calls her Kitty in private. They're literally just bffs who do crime and what more can you want of them??

#my characters #time for more lore in the tags #so it was brought to my attention that the funniest thing possible is to give them a few bases with my favorite meme #the color theory meme where everything is just too reminiscent of a bloody massacre #because honestly katale would be like hey rud hey i have the FUNNIEST idea ever look at this carpet pattern #and he looks at the very horrific carpet and just says go on #like keep going this is funny and very much the funniest thing we can do as crime lords keep going #and they do actually have that kind of decor in one of the nicer buildings #and the poor little agent who is on a mission to kill them walks in like HOLY CRAP ITS A MASSAC-- thats the carpet that is JUST the carpet #and has to take a minute to file that information away before proceeding #then stuff happens and the two crime bosses are like oh yeah that agent is our son now we adopted him its fine he can be here #also ruds sense of humor is super dry and he doesnt really SHOW the fact hes amused much but thats what makes kitty so happy when he jokes #he sounds very serious but hes enjoying himself and thats wonderful #like those weather reporters who see an off the wall temp and go OH YEAH EVERYONES DEAD IN THAT CITY #or the other weather man video where only some of the temps are off the wall so hes like #oh yeah this seems to be the safe area but if you go up north a bit its basically melted - there isnt anything to loot there dont bother #that is his sense of humor. hes super casual and acts like he didnt just say the funniest thing on the planet

When talking about abuse, please be critical of the idea that abusers abuse because of fate, Scary Mental Disorders, their victims being bad/uncooperative, or because they "can't help it."

What may sound like an explanation for abuse to you honestly just sounds like justification and qualifications for abuse.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #abuse #abuse tw #abuse apologia #not sure if i specifically talked about this but now i am because this is Bothering me #like i'll talk about my stories about abuse and i just hate when the conversation is led to 'oh that was fate!!' or whatever #like i do think that that person wanted to comfort me but it just... sounded like taking the blame off of my abusers #and it just seemed to me like there was discomfort around saying 'those people harmed you. they had no right to do that' #i think some people have a very hard time with admitting that humans can be horrific to each other... #...and then admitting that somebody you *love* was in that position of being mistreated... #...but i don't think that makes downplaying abuse/the experiences of survivors right... #...because that is essentially putting in earplugs and going 'I CANT HEAR YOU THIS MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE'

here’s my thought after watching Dan’s “why I quit YouTube” video .. because .. yeah

#they did him so absolutely dirty #like horrifically #I was cleaning my room and multiple times just paused because I could not believe what I was hearing #poor guy I’m glad he seems to be ok now #I couldn’t imagine my life being flipped upside down like that #mine #dan howell #daniel howell #danisnotonfire

so is the story going to give me a reason i'm supposed to feel so bad for bellamy outside of being manipulated by doflamingo (girl you are not special get in line) instead of just being mad that he is STILL trying to take out luffy and being the reason why law just got his arm violently sawed-off with no back up.

#one piece #doffy's treatment of bellamy is like deeply funny to me in a horrific way #because he's treats doffy the way doffy wants to be treated by everyone. #he treats him the doffy is angry to the point of homicide at law for not treating him #and doffy seems to just actively despise him for it??? #like i need to rotate this in my mind for the next four hours #anyway can bellamy get his shit together so luffy can go back up his girlfriend for the love of god.

for such a small fandom, the moral orel community really does have a huge fucking problem with woobification of the adult cast.

it's gross.

#this isn't about liking characters this is however about using that as an excuse to pretend they are not horrible people. #like literally the only decent adult in moralton is stephanie- others may have their moments but overall? just her. #& that's thematically fucking important! like the fact that the only good person in a town suffocated by it's own rigid adherence to WASP #social norms is a visually non-conforming lesbian? yeah that kinda fucking means something! that was a pointed writing choice! #also before anyone mentions officer papermouth hes a cop. moreover he's a cop in a town where several characters are canonically racist. #& its a town where people are known to mostly hold the same views on social issues due to the aforementioned strict adherence to WASP norms #do not “officer papermouth seems like a good guy.” me i will chuck your kneecaps into a river. #but enough with the uwu cutesy headcanons about characters who are canonically racist/homophobic/abusive/misogynistic! #enough with the blaming literally every character except your personal favourite for the climate of the town! #enough with blaming only one parent for the puppington family dynamic! #enough with acting like characters don't have faults because you happen to find a clay figurine unreasonably attractive! #you're missing the fucking point! #enough enough enough enough! learn how to actually analyze & interact with the media you consume please! #moral orel #also: #proshippers dni #you lot are the worst of the fucking bunch & your approach to media as a group is horrific. fuck off.

year six of being salty that around halfway through RoS the writers went 'shit we accidentally wrote five way too sympathetic and reasonable, and he is rapidly going through a redemption arc. quick shove in random serial killer shit out of nowhere without explanation, which completely contradicts his character and its development up til then. wait fuck he's redemption arcing EVEN HARDER in FoT. shit shit shit okay just make him hannibal lecter'

#lorien legacies #LL number five #LL crit tag #the crit files #five hurting people is something he consistently has to work himself up toward by turning them into an Object of Hatred #and/or having someone else encourage him to do so #because hurting people /fucks him up/ even when he hates them #and after that has hit its breaking point of emotional intensity he just. stops wanting to hurt them #wants to help them or at least for them to be alright in fact; even when they've treated him horrifically #and when that breaking point results in doing irreversible harm he regrets it SO MUCH #he has to spend a month dissociating and keeping himself busy every waking hour not to break the fuck down over what he did to ethan #and he DOES break the fuck down over killing eight #like even if he thought well of eight in particular by comparison he's been stoked up to hate the other garde in general #which leads pretty quickly to regret and total lack of malice toward the garde after the showdown in florida #he is completely broken over it #even /nine/ he loses 'i want this person hurt' animosity toward after florida. in fact animosity at all that we see after that initial #monologue over eight's body; where he's having his big moment of realizing he has more hatesinking to regret than just hurting eight #and he doesn't say he wants nine to suffer. he just says it wasn't worth helping him because he thinks he'd just throw it away #the only time we see him kill someone and not seem too fucked up about it is when it's a mog soldier who presumably knew what he was #signing up for; and was literally swinging a sword at five's head #five fucks me up because at heart he just does not have real malice in him. if he is feeling it something has gone terribly wrong #not as in ~lol of course it has he's crazy~ but as in 'if you supposedly feel fine but are under so much stress that you're having constant #shakes and heart palpitations that is not your default state of being; you are being bent in half and you're eating yourself' #so them randomly going uhmmm ACTUALLY he's a BLOODTHIRSTY SADISTIC SERIAL KILLER who carves his number into a rando's chest #for no reason; and lets people regenerate rather than kill them so he can savor hacking them apart over and over; and drools over murdering #as many people as he can including two random mog guards that happened to be in him and ella's way is like. fuck off lmao #even if you try to go with him turning the mogs into a hatesink for what they've done he would go into a breakdown spiral as soon as it #resulted in killing someone and actually seeing them suffer. the other exception to this that we see before the character assassination #started was deltoch but i do feel like there's an explanation there; it doesn't feel Jarring; but will have to think about it #anyway five has some great moments in UaO but it's really frustrating trying to pick through the bullshit for Actual Characterization

you know, I do like when Trek shows get into the failings of Starfleet, the dark side of it, but the way Picard goes about it just... doesnt do it for me

#star trek: picard #like I LOVED it in DS9 when they got into the darker side of Starfleet #Section 31 and ESPECIALLY s7 #introducing the virus to the Changelings and then voting against giving them the cure was a compelling choice #and it was compelling because there was no denying it was a horrific thing to do #a horrific means to an end: win the Dominion War #but in Picard Starfleet just seems like. cartoonishly evil #just got to the reveal that they were experimenting on and torturing Changelings #which im. struggling with #the virus with the Changelings was one thing. it had a goal #dont get me wrong it was still an evil thing to do #but it had a goal. you can see why it was done #doing this with the Changelings is just... yeah I dont think I like it as a writing choice #again it feels just cartoonishly evil #and the choices made in s1 which make Starfleet look just. completely incompetent and willfully evil again #im not a fan! #exploring the darker side of Starfleet is fascinating but it feels like Picard is making Starfleet out to be just straight up bad guys #which doesnt compel me and in fact makes me roll my eyes

post about fatphobia: fat people are systematically treated like shit and this extends deep into many aspects of life including but not limited to the medical field, school, fashion, etc.

the comments: well MaYbE if You CaReD AboUt BeinG FuckAbLe AnD HaTeD YouRseLF, you'd STARVE and bOdY BUILD!! fAT pEOPlE aREN't oPPRESSED!! You'Re OppRessIng ME by Enjoying Being Fat aNd Healthy. [insert rant about obesity here that is 90% lies] [insert follow up rant about being oppressed for being skinny]

"wuh buh skinny shaming!" "skinny people are medically neglected too!" like... y'all are ignoring the fact that *a majority* of medical neglect and things of that nature towards skinny people is in majority because of fatphobia, [the rest due to other factors such as misogyny, racism, transphobia and queerphobia, etc.. making them not take things like ED and ailments causing you to lose weight/be underweight as serious] Like from first hand experience, a lot of people & doctors would literally rather folks be sick and malnourished then be fat. They'd literally rather people's bodies fall apart due to lack of nutrients or be so underweight they can't get out of bed, than have noticeable fat on their bodies.

but yeah no let's just overtake serious discussions about fatphobia and/or posts uplifting and celebrating fat people and make it about skinny people //sarcasm

#like fatphobia is so fucking insidious #like the hatred and so called “”“”“health concerns”“”“ treat folks as if even a microscopic amount of fat is the same as being obese #but also like!!! who's fucking business is it if someone is obese even!!! not fucking yours #like that's between them and maybe their doctors and loved ones if they want it to be #y'all love to pretend like you care but only when it's directly affecting you or makes you look good #just say you hate fat people and shut the fuck up forever actually #like if you're gonna be a fatphobic bigot just eat dirt and shut the fuck up FOREVER #if it seems like i'm overstepping anywhere talking about this as someone who's been skinny 90% of their life.. please let me know #i made my own post after seeing quite a few cause i didn't wanna speak over anyone or make the convo about skinny people #like there's enough weirdos who make unwarranted comments #idk maybe i'm just frustrated because now that i'm a healthy weight people are making a lot of weird comments about me “”getting fat“” #hashimotos is a bitch my weight has never been consistent #but the only time i've actually been fat i was a kid and people were fucking horrific to me and maybe i'm still bitter over that and #bitter over seeing my fat friends have to deal with so much fatphobia that i can't do much to help with

[whumpty-dumpty-doo]

Omg, so ever since I found out about the whump community I've been reading whump stories and...

!!!!!

Some of the situations you guys write and put your characters in are so freaking brutal and messed up. (I say this with both distraught horror and affection)

Absolutely don't get me wrong, I eagerly await all of the new chapters people write and hungrily gobble them down when they're posted, but oh my god. Sometimes I read stuff and am just aghast.

I took a "what kind of whumper are you" quiz a while back and my result was "lmao you're a caretaker, not a whumper". I sat there was was like "How could that be?! I can whump characters! Come on!

And then I proceeded to realize that half the time I'm so invested in people's whump fics it's because I desperately hope for a happy, comforting ending for these poor, poor fellows and I want to see how they cope with/get out of their situations. Put them through hell, but ohhhh my goodness I just want them to be happy again in the end (or if not happy, then at least some semblance of safe/okay.)

Idk man, late night whump thoughts I'm just shouting into the void. I hope you all keep writing because I really do enjoy your works, even if I'm costantly reading them looking like this:

#I laugh because after reading whump fics now when I DO whump my own characters what they go through looks so innocent and easy by comparison #“hey buddy you were stabbed once and are bleeding out? Trust me it could be WAY *WAY* WORSE” #“oh you died? YOU HAD THE LUXURY OF DYING? YOU ARE LUCKY” #lmao I'm so messed up now #whump #whump writing #whump thoughts #not me reading a whump fic full of horrific torture and noncon then just going about my day casually #I would be genuinely interested to know what the overlap of the whump community and true crime fans is bc they seem similar to me sometimes #I won't say which fic I'm reading rn but I am just BEGGING AND PLEADING for the mc to simply be given a single blanket or something soft #SOME COMFORT #ANY COMFORT #I BEG #deedoo original

thinks about dave k's bad take on hickey n his potential personality disorder. gets upset again .

#he literally says “idk enough abt pds to have a proper take” and then proceeds to have a horrific take #“sorry everyone who studies psychology” #apologising to psych students but not to the ppl with pds listening who u keep harming with your horrible take? great #not that we were ever considered human to begin with (which dave k proves as he keeps talking abt hickey) #anyway my hot and correct take is that hickey has bpd. #no he doesnt have npd or aspd. #everyone is always like evil = npd/aspd #or worse. calls them emotionless & low empathy and psychopaths #psychopathy isnt a diagnosis. having low empathy/few emotions =/= evil or inhuman #also like. dave talks about how hickey would use his hyper vigilance to be a better manipulator #i love how everyone seems to forget that the symptoms ppl with pds have isn't something we choose or can use. it's just the way we are #because of severe childhood trauma..... #but nooo lets not talk about pds being trauma disorders because then u would have to consider us human beings who have hurt #and keeps hurting #he also says that hes not sure hickey can feel real emotions. adjacent to saying he may have a pd. #as if not a lot of suffering from having pds comes from how we can't handle how intense our emotions are in relation to society #so we end up repressing every emotion to survive the day. because if we allow ourselves to feel #we'll end up hurt again #anyway #bpd hickey truther 4ever #elliot screams

i have. feelings. about people relentlessly mocking tumblr's attempts to make money. like i get it, we all hate corporations, fuck capitalism etc etc. and i can't in good conscience tell people "no, no, you don't get it, this company is good, you can trust them." not in the least because i couldn't comfortably say that to anyone about any large company.

but like. this place is dying. tumblr is going to die if they stay in the red like this. and it's either going to shut down entirely, or sell out and amp up their targeted data collection until it becomes indistinguishable from the rest of social media. either way, tumblr as we know it is going to die. and i don't want to see that. for all it's ups and downs, i like it here. this is the one part of the internet where i'm comfortable being myself, cringe and all.

this thing they're doing? trying to make money directly from the users? it makes me hopeful. i've said it before, but i really want it to work. i want them to prove that social media can be profitable (or at the very least, sustainable) without turning their users into a commodity to be sold to the highest bidder.

don't you want to see a place on the internet run by voluntarily user donations, rather than stockholders trying to profit? don't you want to want spend time somewhere where the staff are dedicated to making improvements that make the site better for you, instead of better for advertisers?

it's not exactly like ao3, because they do still run ads, but everything i've heard from staff seems to indicate that's the direction they want to go. i really want to see that work, but it's never going to unless we make it happen. i don't think anyone should feel pressured to spend money here, especially if you don't have money to spare, but if you do, and if you want this place to still be here in the future, i think you should. i think this little corner of the internet is worth protecting.

#ugh this feels so weird to say because im very staunchly anti corporation #but like. they are providing me a service that i enjoy and that i can't get anywhere else. #and all theyre asking for is the ability to keep it running #tumblr #tumblr staff #i just hope i don't get proven horrifically wrong about the intentions of staff #but they have been more communicative than ever before #and all of them just seem to be users who also care about this place #so i really really want to believe that they have good intentions #cd.txt

i know i mostly just make stupid joke posts about them but unironically fiona/scourge is such a fascinating relationship that could be so so very interesting but people just insist on joker/harley quinn-ifying them for reasons beyond my comprehension and call it the most interesting reading of the relationship and wow it really does just baffle me

#in other news ive been thinking about them a lot again but unfortunately i seem to have lost the ability to draw #so my brain just spins in circles and mostly goes nowhere #like. to me the most interesting reading of this ship is that they do actually genuinely love each other #and its interesting *because* its incredibly antithetical to their incredibly selfish tendencies #and its not like they really ever become less selfish or become good or whatever #its that their selfishness gets extended to the other person #and the question that follows is naturally. why does this happen. why are they each other's exceptions #and like im not asking you to make them all healthy and whatever theyre like awful people #who have probably never been in a functional relationship in their entire lives #realistically the best outcome they can have is they become horrifically codependent #but like. still. many thoughts head full #one day i will make a long and rambling post about my many feelings on these characters and this relationship #but that day is not today. probably. #maybe later
