#despite dealing with people like him

[ahhscheisse]

my mom trying to calm down her enraged husband who wants to bust some skulls bc someone at jacks (the restaurant) forgot to put a sandwich in their bag: why would you let a .99 cent sandwich ruin your day? those people don’t care! they’re a bunch of dumb ignorant lazy stupid motherfuckers who can only get a job at jacks.

me, trembling with anxiety as i try to eat, realizing that my mom once told me working fast food would be too much for me:

#this is so bad holy fuck #dude has made some serious threats #he got mad once and whipped his hand and damn near gouged my eye out with a car key #why? bc he overdrew himself at the bank #banks suck money sucks but the threats altho empty should have landed him in jail by now #he should be fucking forced to endure anger management i stg #imagine being willing to throw it all away bc of a breakfast sandwich from jack in the box #imagine defending your friend who constantly drove drunk and KILLED PEOPLE bc of it #forgiving him and continuing to be friends as he drank and drove again #but somehow believing that the teenagers working 15 jobs for pennie’s at a fast food place #need to be as infallible as god #to make zero mistakes ever #again despite being over worked and under paid #despite dealing with people like him #needing therapy bc people in this town threaten to open fire on em #WHICH HAS HAPPENED BEFORE #at our local mcdonald’s #and someone burned our fucking target down #god damn i need to move #personal

Do you ever read bros' takes on anime and think they'd have so much better reading comprehension if they just admitted they're at least a little bit gay to themselves

#or even ya know... that it wont threaten their masculinity/straightness THAT much to relate to a male character who might not be straight #i genuinely feel like people do a million more mental gymnastics to read obviously gay shit as not gay half the time #and it's probably because they are so used to reading their own inclinations as not possibly not straight or wtv #like if you're actually secure in yourself about this stuff what's the big deal anyways #im not unsure im a lesbian despite being like hm thats a handsome man over there or id prob want to **** him if i liked men for example #p

People saying 'everyone loves Hayden Anakin now that he has a good script'....FUCK OFF. The script was never the actual reason the dudebro fanboys hated Anakin in the Prequels. They had already viciously hated on little Ani back in TPM. And not because of so-called 'bad writing', but because he was a cute, precocious little kid and they couldn't stand that being associated with their beloved 'badass' Vader. And likewise, they IMMEDIATELY decided to hate Anakin in AotC when Hayden was cast because he was a pretty boy instead of whatever headcanon they wanted for him. They resented Anakin in the Prequels because he was first depicted as a sweet and caring child who loved his mother, and then later because he was an emotionally vulnerable young man who had a romantic storyline and was motivated by love and his fear of losing those he loved. The fanboys hated Prequels Anakin because he wasn't Vader. They wanted Vader. They have always worshipped Vader. THAT is the reason. Not the script. Seriously, there are so many older male fans who are STILL bitter over a 'pretty boy' playing Anakin. Stop blaming the script for everything. The Prequel films and Hayden Anakin were only thought to be universally 'hated' due to the fact that the fanboys ruled the internet in those early days, and spread the hate around with no one to counter it. The Prequels are way better films than anything Disney could EVER hope to produce, and it's infuriating that people are acting like the material Disney of all things churns out is somehow the 'reason' people like Hayden Anakin now. No, it's because they've had time to go back and appreciate his role in the Prequels and seen that it's actually a compelling story and his performance is, in fact, good.

#anti-disney #pro-lucas saga #prequels defense squad #seriously gtfo with that bullshit #especially if you weren't THERE and did not experience how the hate ACTUALLY manifested back then #no one cared about the damn script #despite people making fun of 'i don't like sand' it wasn't that big of a deal #the issue was simply that the dudebros decided they hated Lucas' version of Anakin in the Prequels and that was that #they just never opened their minds enough to actually appreciate him #believe it or not Hayden actually respected Lucas' vision for Anakin and for the Prequels #he understood what Lucas was trying to convey #so please kindly FUCK OFF with the Prequels hate

this scene is ruining my life at first I didn’t get it but now I get it and Aughdhyfhfheujfuejfjjfjfnv

#Kusuo learning from Akechi that competition can be fun and playful and not like. Torture. #And then learning that Kuusuke despite his shitty brother-isms is deep down seeking that exact thing #but just doesn’t know how to approach it #because of how their relationship functioned for years and how they both are #Like don’t get me wrong Kuusuke is uh. Not a good brother and his inferiority complex lead to him hating and mistreating his brother for #Many Years #And I don’t think this scene functions as forgiveness exactly (Kusuo still has resentment towards him in later arcs) #But I think it’s a moment where he realizes they’re both on some level really lonely people #Who have been fighting their whole lives #And being like “hey I don’t hate you. Let’s be friends instead of enemies.” #And Kuusukes response being “I should really be the one saying that to you” #I just. Like it’s a Start. #IDK like Kusuo was completely justified to hate his brother especially after something like the catgun arc #But he doesn’t and I think it’s because he realizes that his brother genuinely doesn’t hate him anymore #Their whole deal is just really interesting to me but idk how to phrase my thoughts on them coherently #The only thing I wish this arc had was Kuusuke having a “what did I do to you” moment but it is a comedy and we already got that from tori #so ynow #i just say he had that moment post meteor #does any of this make sense #Also it makes me so emo that he pictured akechi

I feel like there's something to be said about the way fandom will treat characters who's trauma they can personally relate to Vs characters who they cant

#like obviously fandom has a thing against unpalatable victims regardless of where their trauma is from #but like #people tend to be way more understanding and compassionate to trauma that they can personally relate to or comprehend #in narutos case: #naruto struggled academically and was bullied as a child. he was alone and neglected on an emotional/domestic level #people can relate to aspects of his character despite the fantasy stuff of being a human sacrifice and part of the military and tend to car #alot more about his struggles #on the other hand the uchiha are discriminated against. sasuke is the sole survivor of ethnic cleansing/genocide. that is not something mos #people could even fathom the pain and trauma of. i mean its fucking /genocide/. and ontop of that he was essentially mind raped by his #brother. the person who he loved the most who betrayed him #and is still expected to function in a society that provides no support and continues to objectify him for his clans desirable traits #i feel like atla is also a good example #people can relate to and sympathize with the parental abuse and inadequacy/anger issues zuko deals with. and are forgiving when it comes to #his redeption arc #but when you take a character like jet. who has trauma in loosing his entire village/community and taking on a caretaker role to other #war orphans. thats not exactly a regual occurrence the average person can personally understand. his trauma is directly related to the war #and so despite him doing WAYY less shitty things than zuko. his is still demonized by the narrative. killed off and then mocked #and the fandom largely saw nothing wrong with this outcome #hama is in a similar bag but she also has the whole 'exploding apartments of pregnant women' distraction tactics added onto her #cause just showing colonialism and forced assimilation and fucking SLAVERY is bad on its own isnt enough ig #psii.txt #slavery mention #genocide mention #rape mention

The choice from Sunday is kinda weird cuz the options are build a cage in the house for the bird or build a nest where it fell and one leads to the bird growing up but dying once its set free and the other one probably leads to it dying much sooner. They both feel like the same option and even tho obviously the most kind, caring, morally right thing to do is keep it inside so at least it lives longer even if it's in a cage. But like to me both options suck and are basically nothing cuz I'm sorry if I look like a bad person for this, but I'm not sorry, but I'm not fuckin touching a wild animal. Even if I knew it was there even if I bothered to check out the sound to find a bird, which I wouldn't, I'm not touching it. I'm not even getting close enough to find out it's too young to fly yet. Whatever happens to it happens man and I'll never know what happens to it cuz I'm not even gonna look at it. Like, where's the 'you seem like an asshole but really it's quite a normal choice' in this whole trial thing??? That's usually an option you can pick. Sunday!!! Sunday, listen!!! There are more than two choices!!! You don't have to always do something!!!! You can just walk away!!! You don't have to try to do something for everyone all the time!!! Think about yourself sometimes!!! It's not selfish I promise!!! SUNDAY!!! OH MY GOD HIS WINGS ARE COVERING HIS EARS HE CANT HEAR US!!!!

#i genuinely dont wanna pick anything #like okay. i know they dont have animal control or a shelter in this setting. but irl genuinely just call some people and see if theyll take #it if you wanna do something about it. #you are not getting my ass to touch a wild animal of any kind. i dont care what the situation is #i was asked once if i could help take care of some baby mice a friend accidentally ruined the nest of and a shelter wouldnt take them #and i was like. im sorry but no cuz i know for a fact im not equipped to handle something like that and i dont wanna touch wild mice and #i KNOW at least some of them will die and i wanna now have to deal with dead mice. and you know what happened? #the friend couldnt keep up with how often they needed to be fed and they died. and now you have dead mice. #something could have happened where they survived outside like the mom came back and fixed it maybe or at least one fended for itself #like its a shame the nest accidentally got ruined but it was an accident and things like that happen all the time #yes its an accident you caused but in the case of something like that i really dont think its suddenly your responsibility now #and i know itll make you feel better to try to make up for it but now you have dead mice #and i know for some people at least trying to help makes them feel better but now we're at the point where i just dont understand #i just cant comprehend the feeling or the idea or the thought. #so its like. i get sunday feels like he HAS to do something for everyone all the time but its genuinely turning him into a monster and he #cant see that. like trying all the time despite getting nothing done will tear you apart. let yourself rest #do the small things you can do around you. dont put the weight of everything on you all the time otherwise you wont get anything done #and youll start thinking not doing anything isnt even an option anymore #i promise its okay. take a break. #im not even referring to sunday anymore. you 🫵 its okay. take a break. make yourself feel better #then come back to things with a clearer calmer mind and do the small things you know you can do #dont force yourself to do everything because you feel like you have to. itll be okay. i promise #hsr 2.2 spoilers #hsr spoilers #oh right this is a spoiler post ifnfjfnfk #long post

okay, i dont really care for gale, but i really wanna know what's going on with the whole minstra took advantage of him in a similar manner to shadowheart or others

because im not rlly interested in romancing him, and the way he tells you stuff when not romancing him just makes it feel like there was just a power imbalance and he purposefully overstepped the boundaries with her because he wanted more power/knowledge/possibly to become a god and she was like 'ok fuck you' and then became really fucking rude to him

but its not sounding like all this was done when he was a kid? i would assume since he had been a goddess's lover he would be of age but i could very much be wrong. can someone please shine a light on this?

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #help? #most of these people seemed to have been harmed from whe nthey were ignorant #while gale just sounds like he was fully aware of what he was doing #or had his own free will of it unlike asterion #obviously mystra planting a bomb in his chest totally wrong #but im so confused as to like #gale kept pushing boundaries and he reaped the seeds he sowed #he was an adult and fully aware of his actions??? #asterion literally could not ressit via vampire influence #laezel and shadowheart were indoctrinated #wyll still worked for the greater good despite his deal #and accepts his punishment without trying to get out of it #gale just continues to keep pushing boundaries at every turn im confused of how hes a victim on the same level as everyone else #yeah hes a victim of mystras cruelty because she shouldnt basically murder him or tell him to commit die #but i fail to see how these are the same as everyone else???

deadnamed at my father's funeral

#parental death tw #family death tw #not sure how else to tag this one #yeah december was a very rough month for me :))) #i actually drew this on the way to my hometown a couple days after i got the news that my dad had passed away #fully anticipating that one of the grueling parts of the process would be the incessant deadnaming and misgendering #bc my dad himself never once used my right name after i came out to him. not once #i asked and we even got in fights about it! bc he just REFUSED to do it #didnt want to think of me as a man at all. i was his only daughter and his baby girl and he didnt wanna accept that id changed #in that way #but i do know bc his wife told me that despite not really accepting the truth about my identity #he was very glad that i seemed happy about it #so i think thats whatll be important to me about it #he didnt get it and didnt really accept it for himself but he was happy that i was happy #anyway it was indeed annoying at the service but more people were chill about it than i expected #and i also had to deal with fewer people than i thought i would #was talking to one of his old band friends who i vaguely remembered and joked that 'i was a girl last time u saw me' #and he said 'youre still a girl' and i just went 'no i am not. the sideburns beg to differ.' #then at the end of the service when people were leaving he came and asked for my New name and when i told him #he was like 'ok ill try to remember that' #i like to think he realized instantly the faux pas he made and was like Yikes. This Is Her/His Dads Funeral. Maybe I Should Be Cool. #anyway. the whole affair was exhausting but i got some nice things out of it too #like hanging out w my brothers #then we got home and me and my wife both had covid bc life wasnt done kicking me in the dick i guess! #im good now i think tho. its fine its fine its fine

thinking about that wretched triangle again

#*clenches fist* bill really is just. such a character. #like I think it actually matters a lot that hes not just a force of evil that drives conflict but a Person whose circumstances and choices #made him into the villain of this story. theres so much he has in common with the pines when you look at it but the way he deals with #things and interacts with people around him in ways that go against the themes and virtues of the show is why hes the main antagonist #at the core of it he really is a dark mirror to mabel and ford and stan #and it Makes Sense for him to be more than just an evil for the sake of evil because he is an embodiment of weirdness in a show about #accepting and embracing weirdness #and at the end of the day despite all the horrible shit hes done there is the axolotl willing to reach out a hand to him and give him the #chance to finally grow and leave behind his terrible methods #because at the end of the day hes not done himself any favours. he only isolated himself like ford did and chose to live in idealized #denial like mabel did but unlike them he has not grown and gotten out of it. but he may yet. #im so so normal abt him

why do some shadow fans act like shadow is this obscure character who never appears in anything and any mention of him is a huge surprise. hes literally one of the most well known characters in the franchise and appears so often its not surprising at all when he gets mentioned or its confirmed that hes gonna be in whatever new thing is coming out? what planet are you guys living on

#i say this as a shadow fan btw. #he literally gets put in twitter takeovers for games hes not even in just because they know hes popular. come on #there is no lack of shadow content happening here #apparently it was just mentioned that shadow will appear in another game eventually and people are losing their minds over it #as if this is huge news ? yeah of course he would show up again someday how is that a surprise at all #also thinking about how when sonic frontiers came out #people were putting shadow being mentioned on the same level of surprising and exciting #as characters who havent appeared in a game in years or havent appeared in a mainline game at all being mentioned ??? #being excited about shadow appearing or being mentioned is one thing #sonic is my favorite character and i still get excited about seeing him despite the fact that hes guaranteed to be in everything #but i dont act like its a huge shock when he shows up #i dont understand why people act like its ever a surprise or a huge deal when shadow is mentioned #not trying to attack or vague any specific people btw this is just the result of a lot of posts ive seen over the past year or so

you do not get it, if i had a time machine i would have made it so that Bruce/Batman was not only a good dad but a GREAT dad from the start, like honestly if i had the means i would erase all the times he has been written to be abusive to his kids in any shape or form and also probably have twice as many adopted kids than he does now.

#batman #batdad #batfam #yes i feel very strongly about this. bruce should be a good dad DESPITE how writers have made him to be in the past #he SHOULD have to deal with his trauma while being a parent. i want him to make mistakes he really does not have to be the perfect dad but #i just. hate the idea of batman being violent to people that he cares about. like as much as i love character depth and dark fiction i just #as someone who vividly remembers being 10 and feeling truly afraid that my parents would hurt me. and just. the constant dread of it all #i just want batman to be good. be a hero be a good dad. despite his flaws despite his mistakes #sorry for getting too personal there i am still a bit sleepy #martin speaks

@ my chronically ill peeps: you don't owe anyone the extra effort it takes to pretend that you are ok. You don't need to pretend, even if it makes people upset, downright furious even.

You will have people who get upset at you for being chronically ill, because surprise!! your condition is chronic and no matter how many times they ask: no, it did not get better overnight. No, not even after trying -thing-

It's ok to be chronically ill, it's not a moral failing or your fault, you are NOT a burden. Sometimes shit just happens. And the people who do matter? They will stick around, even if you're having a particularly bad day or when you simply don't have the energy to put a fake smile on your face.

Chronically ill people do not need to try harder, to grow despite our illness and be a "success story".

You are not a failure for having to rely on people or for being dependent on medication.

If you're not chronically ill, be prepared for the answer to the question of "How are you?" or "Are you OK?" It will not always be what you want to hear.

#chronic illness #health #the amount of people who got upsetti spaghetti with me for no longer pretending that I was fine was honestly frustrating #it can happen with your friends #family and others #might I suggest saying “same old or as always” if people repeatedly ask the same question every day DESPITE knowing of your condition #some mean well so try to explain your exhaustion at the question first #I have a friend like that #I told him it reminds me of my condition every day #idk if it's a good way to go about this #this is not a blueprint for how to act obviously #it's just how it makes me feel sometimes and other chronically ill people #I had people abandon me for being too tired all the time or having to cancel plans for doctor's appointments #if anyone has suggestions or experience on how they deal with this -> send them my way! #I'm always open to learn a few new tricks #thanks for reading all of this - peace-

I think I've fucked up

#i ranted to my girlfriend and i know she probably is just busy but my brain is screaming that i made her upset even though.. #my rant was about my own situation and how i feel about it and then i apologized for complaining at her and said that i wasn't supposed to #and I'm worried she thinks she's not supposed to complain to me when i just meant that i don't like telling people about my shit #and i know she said i could tell her and that she wants to support me but she and my boyfriend are my first relationships #and i don't want to fuck up and i think i have and i haven't told my boyfriend about my diagnosis yet #and I'm scared I'll complain at him too when i tell him and i don't care that he's told me i can and should complain to him #i don't want to saddle them with my complaints #and i called out of work because of how I'm feeling from my diagnosis and that's what i ranted to my girlfriend about #and i'm terrified she doesn't want to date me anymore because my reaction to being diagnosed with one more thing is so fucking pathetic #and i just need to cry and scream and throw up and i can't do any of those things and i feel like everyone except her is telling me #it's no big deal when it is a big deal and i don't think i got it through to my therapist and I'm just freaked out and i don't want to cling #and and and I'm just. i hate existing right now #i feel like i shouldn't do what i want to at home because i called out from work and i know that's stupid but i don't feel like i deserve #nice things right now despite needing them and I'm just so tired but not sleepy and i feel like I'm going to have a panic attack and #i can't even do anything about it! #fuck #i fucked myself over basically #anyway #drink water you heathens

okay jasper brainrot again

#i need to replay soon but i can't stop thinking abt how felix and mason are like. the first people that jasper ever feels truly #comfortable around. i think it probably comes first and easier with felix given his personality and jasper just feels really drawn towards #it. knowing there's something 'off' abt all of them from the beginning but hardly ever feeling human themselves so taking it in stride and #enjoying it above all bc it makes them feel more at ease #and the situationship with mason. they care soooo deeply about him but don't rly fall in love with him until a little later on than the #books describe. they see him as a friend first and just find his personality (beyond the prickliness) so refreshing and comforting bc he rl #doesn't care what the others think and just kinda deals with everything as it comes and doesn't bother trying to live in denial #just him being like “yeah okay. i love you.” and it not being a super big conflicting ordeal is really touching to them despite their own #inner conflict #idk!!! just ub being their found family (despite probably never truly repairing their relationship with rebecca) makes me so :') #i wrote wayyy more than i intended jfkdslfj i forgot how much they mean to me 😭
