note to marauders fandom: just cause you add a bunch of queer characters and poc xcharacters to your fanfics, it doesn’t mean your inclusive and understanding

#writing queerness and not understanding the nuance of queerness is not inclusivity #thinking that queer people can fit into your little boxes is not inclusivity #saying a character is fat then their only trait being that they eat is just mean #making a black woman’s only personality mean and brooding is not okay #writing women into fics with the only plot point being she is in the way of your gay ship is misogynistic #making a bi characters attraction the the opposite sex a negative is biphobic #not listening to the groups to write about when they state that you are doing something that makes them uncomfortable is wrong #not taking feedback from these groups when they say something is offensive is wrong #we are not your plot points we are human #marauders era #sirius black #james potter #remus john lupin #wolfstar #peter pettigrew #marlene mckinnon #dorcas meadowes #lily potter #mary macdonald #harry potter #jily #dorlene #blackinnon #lily evans #jegulus #prongsfoot #character breakdown

Let me be absolutely clear -- the problems with Tumblr will keep getting worse if the disabled minority and the trans people and the people frothing at the mouth at the opportunity to yell at a transphobe, keep @’ing staff and the developers on this site, tell them to kys, because in the meanwhile the transphobes and racists and white supremacists will keep using the actual tools Tumblr provides for blocking and reporting, further poisoning the datasets used for moderation, and encouraging the idea that using the official tools does nothing to basically ensure the only statistically meaningful data available to Automattic is poisoned, poisoned all the way down, poisoned beyond usability.

Hatespeech and bias needs to be reported for it to be considered statstically significant to act on from a developer point of view. Suicide baiting and spamming any of the official means of communication will get you eliminated as a spammer, even if you’re peppering legitimate criticism within your ventpost about how you hate the new thing. You are playing the TE/RFs game.

#van stuff #the biggest reason we don't have an easily accessible 'report hatespeech' button is a) because people misused the old one #and b) because it's not satistically significant enough to be the first thing people want to report #this is like. COMMON fucking knowledge that moderation on Tumblr is 99% automated and extremely cheesable #and you now who are cheesing it? TRANSPHOBES!!! #Like this is not even a 'the developers won't care' kind of thing #this is a 'THE DEVELOPERS NEED HARD DATA TO JUSTIFY MAKING CHANGES' #if the ARE actively malicious then the data contradicting everything they're saying will FORCE changes #and if they mean what they say when they say they value the site for its vibrant culture #then giving them hard data to share with unconvinced people signing off on them having the budget to change things will ONLY help #the whole 'let's yell at staff every time anything happens' is a shibboleth #You're all being fucking exhausting #I want to quit Tumblr because if the userbase is gonna be like this!!! #If ALL I SEE for DAYS ON END is 'staff this' 'staff that' #that's JUST GIVING ME WORSE ANXIETY ABOUT THIS SITE GOING DOWN #'this change is bad for disabled users' YOUR NEEDLESS CONSTANT HOSTILITY AND PANIC RAISING IS ALSO BAD FOR ME A DISABLED USER #WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE??? #'Oh staff could make so much money if they only listened to feedback' you fuckers DON'T LEAVE FEEDBACK THOUGH #you just @ Staff and think that that's statistically meaningful data they can use #Fuck's sake #And that's not counting all the times staff *did* implement changes we wanted for years... AND YOU ALL STILL COMPLAINED #WE MODDED TAG VIEWING IN FOR YEARS AND NOW WHEN IT'S OFFICIAL YOU FUCKERS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO TURN IT OFF #Fucking EXHAUSTING the lot of you

“If the franchise means that much to you, kiss our asses even while you point out our mistakes that could’ve been solved very easily by looking up one of the bare minimums of the game while you feel you’re being disrespected!”

Fuck off.

And I know whatever happens to the Arcana, Last Legacy, Monster Manor, etc. are going to be hit even HARDER.

They’re not even officially dead yet, and I’m already mourning them.

#the arcana #last legacy #fictif #fuck dorian #you do not get to blame US for being concerned. #they just don’t want to take any fucking responsibility #any feedback that isn’t positive they consider “hate” and it’s bullshit #guess what fuckasses it’s because YOU’RE NOT LISTENING TO US.

I want to take a bite out of someone's arm but I'm too shy

#it's ok to reblog this post and ignore the rant in the tags I don't mind at all /gen #hi guys #got another load of trauma from school #and I am not dealing with it well at all my legs have been shaking so badly for 4 hours now #had a panic attack so bad that my face went numb and the edges of my vision went black and my legs gave way #I hate my teacher she's horrible god I can't even go into it here there's so much #I'm tired of getting abused at school I've been to half a dozen schools and have not gotten traumatised at ONLY ONE OF THEM #I have no adults I can go to about this #whenever I try to talk with her and the head teacher about the situation and why I'm fucking terrified of her she acts so patient and kind #whenever I'm alone with her she will yell at me about everything I'm doing wrong and continue yelling even when I'm in tears #she will berate me and put me down and insult me directly #when she gives feedback she always puts effort into making it hurt #the language she uses for negative feedback is never what a teacher should say it's always personal and uses your weaknesses to hurt you #I get really bad intrusive thoughts about her hurting me physically because of how terrified I am of her #the worst part is she acts nice and sweet whenever she's not picking apart my weaknesses and being cruel about my disabilities #I felt so sick after that I haven't eaten since #vent tw #trauma tw #listen to my gibberish boy #ggod I hate this school

The qsmp live translation chat bubbles remind me of this everytime I see them

#I mean this in a nice way btw- it's an endearing comparison #qsmp #( I still feel kinda... ehhhh kinda mixed about it- but I'm willing to give it a shot) #( since Q seems to be trying to implement it as an additional tool and not a crutch of sorts ) #( at least I hope that's how the server members will end up using it yeah) #( machine translation can be a useful tool but it's no replacement for the real thing at all) #( and we do know Q listens to feedback so if it does end up being an issue I'm sure he'll hear about it and take actions accordingly)

[gin-juice-tonic]

still mad that tumblr wants to force everyone to switch to their buggy editor that adds in random visible paragraph breaks everywhere and is impossible (a figurative impossible- its just very annoying) to move images around in

#'we will listen to feedback we prommy even though tumblr live is still being shoved down everyones throats'

Whenever I see someone being transphobic on twt in a bridget thread i reply with three pictures of my mains: ky kiske from ac+r, ky kiske from rev 2, and ky kiske from strive.

it self selects for people who actually play the game. it’s canon that he’ll fight off transphobes with the blade. and if they actually played guilty gear they’d get the underlining messages

While it can be really funny to bully these guys back, please keep in mind that nothing you can say or do to these people will hurt them or waste as much of their time as what they say will stick with you or waste your time. It might be funny to send them a bunch of Ky pictures, but what they're doing is laughing that the only response the people they hate can give them is sending a bunch of pictures of anime boys.

The only thing that works is blocking them. They've turned being an asshole into a recreational sport and getting any sort of response in return is a victory for them.

#asks #Unfortunately I was an asshole on the internet once (not a vicious transphobe just a basic internet asshole) #I know exactly how these people function because I was there once... #When you don't take the person you're arguing with seriously it's very easy to laugh at every single thing they do #Which is what these guys are doing. It doesn't matter how well thought out the counter argument is. They don't care and they won't care #All you can hope for is that they're young and they grow out of it (I did) #I feel bad for them because I think about what led to me being like that decades ago. Are they going through the same thing? #I was like that because I was in a hopeless situation and hated myself and hated everyone else #People arguing back just proved my point that everything sucked and my hate was justified #It's an awful feedback loop. People being kind to me felt disingenuous. Why should they be kind? I hated them. They had no reason to be nic #I had to get to a point where I was willing to help myself crawl out of that pit before I let anyone else even get near me emotionally #I still remember the day when I realized I was being a fucked up little shit to everyone lol #Early June 2011. It was sunny with no clouds and there was a cool breeze. I was listening to In This Moment and I realized #'What the hell am I doing? Do I want to be like this forever? Get your shit together man' #It was a slow process from there but I did get out of it. Slowly. Very slowly. #There's a lot I did that I regret and can't ever apologize for because it was so long ago and the names and faces are gone now #Apologizing at this point would be selfish and only for my benefit anyway. I can only hope that what I did didn't hurt people permanently #Anyway. I've never talked about this on here before because it's the kinda shit that gets put on callout posts out of context #So. I am laying my naked soul bare and raw for the sake of underlining my original point: Internet trolls don't care

2024 year of charlie gets a fucking break (hopefully. maybe. tbd.)

#ctxt #i'm on medication that's reduced my post-hysterectomy pain by about 70% #i have an intake appointment with a physical therapist in march & a referral to start trigger point injections #to hopefully finally recover as completely as possible from the nightmarish neuropathy that's plagued me since uuuhhhh #going on 2 years ago. holy shit. genuinely can't believe i've been surviving & functioning as well as i have for this long #while suffering a disabling & extremely painful surgical complication. fuck my original surgeon for brushing me off during that time #but the new provider i'm working with is so responsive & thorough in her approach & seems genuinely committed #to helping me finally get relief after all this time. she listens to my feedback & is flexible in her approach #and her assistant is a great communicator who's been handling most of the logistics of care coordination for me #and what a huge fucking relief that is. to not have to drag my doctors kicking & screaming towards maybe treating me eventually #i wanna cry. i finally feel like i'm being taken seriously and cared for. and i'm not BETTER yet (might never be the same as i was pre-op) #but i actually feel optimistic for the first time in over a year that i won't just have to deal with this agonizing pain on my own forever #i might actually see enough improvement that i can start to get back to living my life instead of just surviving it #money is tighter than it's been since i got laid off during early pandemic and that's stressing me out #but i promised myself that i would put my health first in 2024 and that means only working the bare minimum needed to pay my bills for now #genuinely i so fucking needed a break. i felt like i was trying to swim through a meat grinder last year #and it wasn't until i ended up in the ER about it that i finally was able to take my own pain seriously enough #to put my foot down & make some necessary changes that are now letting me focus on Getting Well With Myself at last #in hindsight it's like. really freaking me out how thoroughly i was able to compartmentalize & dissociate from how miserable i was #bc nobody who had the ability to help me would take me seriously & my shitty boss was like. extremely textbook emotionally abusive #and on one hand that was a survival mechanism that kept me on my feet during one of the worst times of my life. so props to myself there #but it was also very maladaptive how long & unnecessarily it went on before i snapped out of it & escalated things for my own safety #it was the same helpless frustration i often felt as a kid of like 'well nobody is on my side but me so i gotta suck it up & help myself' #and i think the family trauma shit that was going on last year definitely contributed to that. idk sense of doubling across time? #and things had to get Extremely Bad before they were bad enough for me to realize that although i felt like it #i am no longer an isolated & parentified island of a child who is beholden to the whims of ignorant & indifferent adults #i actually can and should take action to advocate for myself bc i am an adult and i CAN now change my circumstances as needed #instead of just enduring them as if i'm stuck there with no agency or chance to change things #and i have a really solid support system who helped me feel like it was possible to stand up for myself to get the help i desperately need #chronic blogging

not to be a dick but if you've been through actual university level art school and you still think that it's unreasonable bullying to be asked to push yourself or experiment with different art styles or to have aspects of your artwork criticised by people you asked for an opinion. what was the point of art school for you exactly?

when people say shit like 'my art school tutors told me my art was bad bc it was too anime and cartoonish ☹️' that may be true but I'm not gonna lie what I suspect happen is they told you 'you should work on developing a solid foundation for any art style you choose by pushing yourself to try more representational art Anne getting comfortable with ways of seeing and understanding images' and what you heard is 'NOBODY IS ALLOWED TO DRAW CARTOONS EVER AND YOUR WORK IS WORTHLESS'

and furthermore I suspect that you were really annoying in crits and took any even slightly negative comment or suggestion as a personal attack even though literally the point of art school is to learn to take and grow from constructive advice from your peers.

shout out to the girl on my undergrad who burst into tears literally every crit for three years even though about the nastiest thing anyone said to her was 'it might look cleaner if you rubbed out any of your pencil lines after inking and also used a clean rubber while sketching.' and guess whose art didn't improve at all over three years and whose technique actively got sloppier while other people were moving forward in leaps and bounds? yeah.

there were people who started uni as the best in the class and ended as some of the worst bc they just weren't prepared to listen to criticism or change how they did anything. and there were people who started out very mediocre and went on to produce incredible professional work to a high standard bc they listened and were open to change. and that's got nothing to do with who was more painterly and who was more cartoony or whatever it's just. when you ask advice and get something you don't want to hear do you chew on it and try it out or do you dig your heels in and do more of the same?

and like I'm not saying there's anything wrong with sticking to your guns and doing art the way you want to do art and the way that brings you joy. I'm just saying if you don't want feedback, teaching or advice on how to improve I'm really not sure what the benefit of art school is that you couldn't get several thousand pounds cheaper by staying home and drawing there.

(and I'm also saying if you come out of art school like BOOHOO NOBODY LIKES MY STYLE AND MY ART IS WORTHLESS you might. need to pull yourself together and say either I'm committed to this style regardless of whether people like it and I'm going to keep building on this style and make it amazing, or I want to make art that's more like the work people like and I value, what could I change to get more where I want to go? but if you lie down and say waaaaaah it's so unfair that my art is bad and everyone else is just more talented than me then bullshit. by the time you've graduated art school talent is not the deciding factor in the quality of your work. it's a question of your willingness and capacity to put the work in, take criticism, understand what you want to achieve, and slog through trying and failing to get a certain effect until it improves. professional level art is not an innate talent it's a trained skill, and some people might start further along the path than others bc of their talent, eye or training, but the distance between someone who's talented but unpractised and someone who's less talented but puts a lot of thought and work in closes extremely rapidly. it can be disheartening but if you want to do this professionally rather than for yourself you gotta feel your frustration, have a good scream and cry about it, then get back in to figuring out what you need to build on. bc we're all guilty of sometimes going HOWEVER HARD I WORK I'LL NEVER BE AS GOOD AS MY PEERS but no offence if you just lie down and give up where does that get you? if you just start going 'actually you should all feel bad for not liking my work more' instead of making your work more appealing or finding the right audience for it, that's on you not on anyone else. what was the point of art school????)

#needless bitching time #i just. i don't understand why you'd pay thousands of pounds a year to get constructive feedback #and then spend the year treating any feedback as a personal attack #save your money my guy of you want to do it on your own and you don't think other people have anything to tell you #then don't pay 6 grand a year to not listen to other people's advice #saw three consecutive art posts on here of ppl being like MY TUTORS TOLD ME NOT TO DO ANIME ART BC THEY JUST DON'T GET ME #WHY ARE ALL MY PEERS DOING BETTER THAN ME DESPITE US ALL GRADUATING AT THE SAME TIME #friends it's not bc you do anime art it's bc they tried new things and learnt new skills and you dug your heels in bc anime is What You Do #but like. successful cartoonists and anime artists are ppl who've at least had a crack at life drawing and realism #to know what they're stylising and how #I'm sure there's some teachers going NO ANIME EVER but I'm p sure most of your tutors were actually saying #don't just do anime bc it's what you know how to do. try other styles bc even if you're bad at them you'll learn something #it's not just anime like. ppl who come in only doing photorealism are pushed to stylise more. #you should be pushed out of your comfort zone. different styles. different media. that's not where you're being asked to END UP. #it's a LEARNING PROCESS #like a lot of my direct tutelage was like. pushing me to do looser more gestural blockier art #use an a6 piece of paper and a fat marker pen for life drawing #or no lines only blocks of shadow #or use a 3 colour palette with no midtones #or draw 30 thumbnails in a minute #and the art i made like that SUUUUUUUUUCKED. and it's meant to. it's not meant to be how you work from now on. #it's meant to help you identify what you're missing and where your blind spots are #and what you can incorporate into your work moving forward #red said

Hob, after learning Dream’s name and function, having an “…OH.” moment.

So that’s why Dream seemed to struggle to stay engaged at nearly every centennial meeting, but kept coming, anyway. (Aside from Hob’s suspicions that the guy is incredibly lonely but not wanting to admit it. That Hob is still fully enamored by life and isn’t ever going to be willing to give it up and die, now that he doesn’t have to. That Hob’s pretty sure he’s the butt of the joke for some sort of bet between primordial beings—has been from the start. But hey, he gets to keep living with no real downsides other than outliving everyone and only gets a decade before he has to start all over again.)

Dream is the Prince of Stories.

Dream told Hob Lushing Lou’s story.

Which, apparently Hob’s been a piss-poor storyteller. OUCH.

And had more interest in Shakespeare despite being not very good at that point. (He at least boldly desires to in the same vein as Hob boasting he’s simply not going to die.)

…but would it have killed the guy to have said so? Given critiques about Hob’s presentation style? What sorts of details actually interested him? Because leaving their table to go talk with Shakespeare instead was still rude.

(At least Hob’s students in his current life have the courtesy to fall asleep or try to sneak playing on their phones under their desks if his lectures aren’t engaging…)

#hob gadling #dream of the endless #morpheus sandman #hob is a terrible storyteller and dream’s an even WORSE audience XD #c’mon dream give some feedback!! #((there’s More Going On with Dream in that Shakespeare Century than just being a bored and terrible listener) #((but HOB doesn’t know that. and Dream’s still terrible at communicating.)

Waiting for comments on fics is sometimes nerve wracking because you don’t know whether they hated it or you just happened to post at a time when 60% of your readerbase is asleep and there’s no real way to tell

#morgan murmurs #absolutely NOT COMPLAINING #I am so lucky to get the comments I do!!!! #but I am also incredibly need and thrive off of validation #and also impatient #I forget it takes time for people to see it is updated #click it #read it #then react #ignoring being busy #LISTEN #I JUST LIKE FEEDBACK A LOT AND THE AO3 COMMENT EMAILS GIVE ME DOPAMINE SHOTS STRAIGHT TO THE BRAIN

Why didn't you draw Babs with the Batfamily . You stupid bitch . Don't treat Babs that way. She's the queen and far more popular than any of the batfamily members!

wow! your question is valid but your tone is rude and i dont appreciate it. dont tell me how to treat fictional characters when you dont even treat your fan creators nicely.

babs isnt in the photo because she's setting up as oracle; in the caption i mention she sent up a drone to take the photo. babs is great and i love her but there are 11 people in the original photo and i based this in the wfa 'verse where there are also 11 gotham capes (that ive seen so far) on the streets that have babs at the helm, in the clocktower, being oracle. as a result of this train of thought, i unfortunately ended up not picturing her. it isnt bc of any specific babs hate on my part.

#anon hate #tw anon hate #cw anon hate #rei replies #in hindsight maybe the decision was subconsciously ableist but my train of thought was really 'she's in the clocktower' #sorry if it came off that way #i also had a version that tim wasnt in 'cuz i was gonna rationalize him having taken the photo before i realized babs would be oracle-ing #but ye i was just thinking 'all the masks and capes ive seen so far from wfa' #and there was conveniently the same number as there are construction workers in the photo this is based on #again sorry if her exclusion ended up looking ableist. i welcome feedback from anyone who isnt this anon to lmk &/or start a discussion. #the original sketch also had bruce going 'oracle?' so mb i shouldve kept it? idk. #upon further thinking i feel like excluding babs being ableist is like excluding alfie being ageist #theyre both important members of the batfamily that are behind the scenes so #i suppose id add them both. and i have an idea for how i can but now i. i dont want to. #bc now itll feel like im listening to someone who called me a stupid bitch 🤦🏻‍♀️ damn #again tho still open for discussion

sometimes i think to myself "v does too many things you need to shave some off" but then i remember that (obviously) you start of as a somewhat new merc (even though streetkid v can tell kerry thats what they have been doing their entire life) and with them being 27 years old there is plenty of time to pick up many hobbies and have many different jobs and just have experience with a lot of things so im good

#sammy says shit #listen my v is the epitome of jack of all trades master of none #like yeah she was in a band and knows some instruments (not enough to say they play it but she can play her fave songs on the drums) #she had many different jobs (waiting tables tech repairs etc etc) #she knows how to dance (she REALLY likes that one) #she can sew (not like make clothes from scratch but repair clothing and stuff + being punk also gives you proficency with it LMAO) #she dyes and cuts her own hair #has the audacity to think that owning a tattoo gun means she can tattoo #maybe did some of her piercings (punk again) #etc etc #i know it sounds like a lot but honestly? at the age of 27 not that crazy #unless im delusional feel free to give me some honest feedback here

Emotional regulation 🅱️lease

#spent my day editing not one not two but THREE things I had written and received feedback and critique on #and most of it was fair but like fuck and when I called home my mom yelled at me #like it’s hard not to be self critical when literally everything in my life is critical of me #and I cut my hand doing the dishes washing my kitchen knife #and I know my students are filling out surveys and I know I’m gonna get the criticism about being slow at grading that I always do #and I’m worried they’re gonna be unhappy at my internship that I haven’t finished labeling the wardrobe and I don’t think I can #like the nature of grad school is that you are being shaped and given constructive criticism #but like would it kill someone to compliment me on something that isn’t how well I rise to challenges #a lot of it is me rushing papers and getting scores that reflect this but #this is when usually I would post art or fic and then get positive validation that way but I don’t have time to draw so #I need to stop listening to ROME I can’t listen to him after 10 pm it makes me too depressed #also like I think I’m depressed again ✌️
