#deactivated the reblog because

[rawliverandgoronspice]

nothing is funnier than seeing huge masses of gamers having One Major Complain about a game that's about to come out and repeat it over and over as THE deal-breaking thing, meanwhile you (gamedev) are like "buddy that's not even in the top 3 of things that are wrong with this game you're all gonna forget it was even a thing that bothered you by the time you actually have the controller in your hands"

#thoughts #gamedev #deactivated the reblog because #me posting this is bad praxis #but #it is very funny #(tbh I think gamers have by and large very strange priorities and hyperfocus on shit that literally does not matter) #(or is integral to the vision/the specific experience provided) #(also I'm sorry but unless the fps drop makes the game unplayable or consistently annoying I could not care less) #(if the experience is worth a janky framing I'm able to forgive almost any jankiness personally) #(sometimes the jankiness enhances the experience even! looking at you oblivion!) #(“is the game fun and why does it have soul does it speak to you do you feel enriched” is so often??? left out of the conversation???) #(to be perfectly honest a whole lot of gamers don't really respect games that much imho) #(expecting the experience to cater to them instead of being willing to meet them where they are *and then* assess and discuss) #(this medium suffers from such a lack of curiosity and introspection across the board it's genuinely exhausting) #((sorry I'm in a very sour mood regarding the game industry in general right now so!!!!))

People are acting so weird and possessive of Markiplier for the whole OnlyFans situation. He's an adult. He's an adult who's been a celebrity for years. He knows people thirst on him. That's why he had this idea in the first place. He's not some naive kid you must protect. He's not some innocent soul that the evil sluts of Tumblr and Twitter will corrupt. He knows the Internet, he knows his fans and he knows his job.

He's an adult and he can make his own choices.

#Markiplier #I've seen quite a few comments expressing discomfort and like. You can just. Not subscribe to his OF???? #That's a possibility. You can block people too. #I think some of you really need to learn about parasocial relationships and reflect on it #He's not your dad #He's not your friend #He's just a dude #A dude who has a job and it just so happens that his job revolves around appearing personable #Don't forget that you don't truly know him and MORE IMPORTANTLY he doesn't know YOU #He probably has various ideas on xho his fans are as subgroups but he doesn't know you personally #Actually it reminds me of Maisee Williams in GoT s8 #People had seen her (the character and the actress) grow up over the years and when she decided she wanted to do a nude scene #A lot of people said they were uncomfortable #In both cases. They're adults. They can do whatever they want. #I guess that was a rant but sometimes I find the fandom really off-putting #Deactivated reblogs because the RBs were getting boring and a pain

"All I wanted to do... was to have fun at the public pool with my friends." "If that's really it, then...you're a fool, Higurashi... You should have just told us... what you wanted sooner, back then." "If the time comes when I really become a zombie... let's go to the pool together, okay?"

drunkzutarafeels, peacockarehot, sokkastyles, araeph and so many more are icons and people I endlessly look up to. How do you ATLA (especially Zutara) meta writers come up with these mindblowing big brain analysis and connections... I aspire to be as great, deductive, critical and partial. Thank you so much, the fandom would not be the same without you guys. Love you all.

for no fucking reason: real life dictatorships in the 20th and 21th centuries are almost always allowed to thrive because of some empire's interests. If not, they get heavily demonized then dismantled by said empire over a relatively short period of time (unless exceptional circumstances, tho it's almost always applicable). the examples are countless; please read declassified reports and interviews from the CIA/KGB/other intelligence agencies across the world to lose your mind about it, especially those involving what happened during the Cold War and what happened in the Middle East (and still does).

characters like ganondorf are the epitomy of the fantasy that colonized/"exotic" countries naturally spawn evil incarnate and must be controlled/stumped/imprisoned/destroyed by the "responsible ones" while the perfect good place is perfect and utterly blameless about what went down and how the local population suffered (which, in real life, the empires of the world are most definitively not that --the amount of dictators that were ushered into power by western interests is staggering and we fucking love to see it don't we). And also, a blameless victim to whichever retribution eventually comes back their way.

It is a rethoric that denies interconnectivity and historical responsibility.

this is what I criticize about the narrative choices of a fictional conflict that *does not exist in real life* and has been entirely made up by human beings: the cowardice of blamelessness, and what little this kind of narrative brings to the table --especially today when we should be looking at the root cause of broken systems of violence instead of endlessly scapegoating minorities.

and well, especially given how effective this narrative apparently seems to be.

#thoughts #totk critical #zelda fandom critical #deactivated the reblog for this one gang #because I already spoke about that a billion times and I don't want to go back on that particular caroussel #but it is very! very frustrating that people's political ignorance makes them so brazenly hostile #even though we probably are on the same side and we could support each other in other circumstances #but I guess it's more ??? interesting to project a weird ass persona onto people you refuse to understand or show empathy for #like my grandparents lived under nazi occupation and my father grew up under a military dictatorship #a family cousin was literally thrown into the ocean from a helicopter #I am far from unfamiliar with the violence of a fascist Strongman and the marks they leave behind #had to deal with that generational trauma from both sides of the family! nice + fun #and I guess I still have the opinions I have??? incredible #almost like I didn't hold onto the first gut reaction I ever had or something #almost like the world is complicated and I expect fiction (yes even fiction for 12 yo and up) to acknowledge that fact #((sorry if I'm uhh a little bitter and not super gracious)) #((but I was already having a bad week)) #((and I suppose being called disgusting and lowkey fascist-apologist over liking a goddamn nintendo character will do that do you))

Taken from here, rather than being reblogged, because the original poster has deactivated and thus the link to the “original post” does not, in fact, go there, and I wanted to reblog without the list of ships that I’m not going to write for, but also there’s no way to reblog-from-source anyway, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#i did of course send an ask to the person i copied-instead-of-reblogging-from because i'm not a savage i know the etiquette #i just can't follow it properly right now because SOMEbody deactivated boo #and reblog chains are a mess right now thanks tumblr #(almost typoed that as ''fumblr'' and frankly i think my fingers knew what they were doing) #tumblr is a mess and we love it #gigolas #gimleaf #ask meme #writing #shipping #send a kiss meme

if you're planning to deactivate your blog, we urge you to leave it up as an abandoned archive instead, or at the very least, to tell an archive blog who can get your coining posts archived. you also have the option of putting your coining posts on an internet archive, or asking someone to do so in your stead. when a blog is deactivated out of nowhere, many terms and flags are lost; the less heads-up is given, the more is gone. these are real identities that people experience, they're terms with genuine value, and it's important that we keep some record around

#blogtalking #this is perfectly fine to reblog btw. we're saddened because we couldn't get to a blog before it deactivated and now a lot of thingsre gone #this is why our drafts are so high lol. we go through blogs and draft as much as we can as to not lose anything #edit: worth mentioning you can ask us to go through your blog and draft things at any time!! whether or not you plan to deactivate #direct us to a blog to archive and we will do so

You blew up my notifications, are you okay? XD

And we were nice to each other

#also you're either eiz #(unlikely because he's no stranger to things being reblogged a lot) #or a deactivated blog #in which case how are you getting notes?

[ifindus]

how old were you when you started this blog? ( ՞ ܸ. .ܸ՞ )

Looks like I was 18!

I remember I really liked to draw growing up, but I stopped at some point and didn't really pick it up again before I was 18. That was when I got my first drawing tablet and started experimenting with digital art. The fandom was def a motivator for me to start again after all that time ✨ Looking back at it now, I've grown a lot as an artist over the years, for only drawing fandom stuff and never practicing 😅

#lol I think I'm too imaptient to become a good artist #I don't spare the time to focus on details #I was on tumblr before I started this blog tho - but only two years #that was mainly a reblog-blog and I didn't interact with a lot of people #it's prob deactivated now because I haven't used it since I made this one #also can't belive I've had this blog for almost 10 years now??? Next year will be 10 year anniversary #tho I didn't really gain any followers before 2020 - five years into the blog #and now we're here 😮

[roserunodays]

I’m gonna rant about something here for a bit, I’ll put a read more here, I don't think people are gonna read this but eh

I don’t…understand. I don't understand me getting into a series where you're supposed to understand these characters and all their different aspects, both good and bad, and then seeing people vying for only the bad parts and not acknowledging the good that's there. I thought the creator wanted us to be able to understand everything about them? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of this project, to brand them as their worst, place them in a categorical box, and then move on without exploring the good parts about them?

Am I wrong for trying to humanize them and their nuance, for trying to highlight their good aspects? How does me looking at their good traits or trying to sympathize with them in some way somehow justify their actions and erase what they did wrong? People already highlight all the shit they did, the whole series revolves around their goddamn crimes for crying out loud. So I don't understand why me looking at these characters and trying to humanize them somehow is considered "bad" analysis.

Idk, it's just not how I like to engage in media tbh. It's not how I like to view the world and view people at all, it feels very...detached to me. Maybe I'm too optimistic, maybe I'm naive and people are shitty, and I should stay quiet if people are going to just shut me down on every sympathizing aspect I talk about with these characters.

#disabling reblogs for this I think I'm just tired of it all #I was debating on whether or not on I should deactivate this blog tbh because of this #I don't think I'm going to but I'm probably going to be less prominent in the fandom as a result #It's hard for me to believe that my words mean anything for this place lol #rose.txt

[anti-transphobia]

I do feel bad having a lot of reblogs centering around transmasc issues specifically and not more posts about transfem and nonbinary people, but unfortunately, repulsive lateral violence is the current discourse, which means that a lot of posts made about those issues are said BECAUSE "who is actually the most oppressed" is the current topic of discussion. So even posts that seem normal or even agreeable have language you have to look suspiciously at and when you check op you do in fact find that those posts about transmisogyny are because they got mad trans men are speaking up about the violence they face.

It's very similar to how ace discourse was. Completely normal seeming posts, in the context of a really bad couple of years where saying you're ace/aro publicly even once led to getting anon hate, were actually criticisms of the idea that other people face hardships. Hell, though people scoffed at it when I said it, even completely unrelated FANDOM posts could be clocked as being made by someone whose current fixation is hating on aspec people by the way they keysmashed. Because it wasn't just a discourse, but like a fandom, and fandoms follow quirks and trends and I could read it in a keysmash easily, check their blogs, confirm I was right, and block.

Anyway my point being that the issues, general and more specific, faced by non-transmasc trans people INCLUDING those issues caused by other trans ppl is EXTREMELY important to me, however I just unfortunately don't see a lot of people talking about it in good faith. And hell, me talking about my experiences about how afab trans people have harassed, sexually assaulted, misgendered, body shamed me, and leveraged their agab specifically to harm and exclude me for not being like them is something that I can't talk about without worry of it coming off as "trans men are evil". That's just the current culture. A reasonable worry of a post sounding like thinly veiled transphobia is silencing victims of the thing these transmasc oppression deniers claim to hate.

Anyway I definitely do reblog good posts like that when I see em but I'm really not on Tumblr much anymore

#i dont Owe anyone an explanation but i do feel bad about it #it sucks! #oh also im very pro Palestine but i don't think ive reblogged a ton of posts about it on here??? i honestly cant remember #i do that on other social media but typically i only come on Tumblr now to look at very specific things #some fandom stuff. mostly all the poll accounts i follow #i kinda just rb the things i happen to see when i do so #i don't have an active follower base (most of em deactivated years ago) anymore so im not worried about Not Using My Platform for good #because i lost that platform! and i dont regret it. ppl will turn on a child on a dime for the crime of being annoying. im glad i went #inactive for a long time #but anyway #im not misusing the platform i no longer have by not reblogging pro palestine posts #but i should go look for some #Tumblr search does not fucking work anymore but if it decides to one time i could at least go back to it as reference #for links and stuff
