#honestly I had a lot of issues bc of that

[kosmicdream]

im confident enough to post FFAK, which has anal prolapse, but i dont post the true drama....... my opinions about manga. *dramatic music* sometimes i kinda want to do some reviews.. its mostly me complaining.. it makes me sound so bitter like "do you like anything kosmic!" and..yes ! i do!!! okay!! i like a lot of things. once in a while, i dip my toes into a popular series to try to see if we are a good fit. Series like: Beastars, Dorohedoro, Dungeon meshi,ect.. and i kind. well. I dont like any of them LMAO. I mean, Ok, i actually really was into Beastars for a time, but after the fight with the bear guy (its been a few years sorry) and that story arc concluded.. it just spiraled to laughable levels and did not recover. I was genuinely laughing at it at times bc it kind of felt like a desperate scramble with the like. loopholes and power upgrades.. But I was invested for a time, it had a charm to me! I also loved the art and im curious about the authors next series about santa (partly because i too, am writing a story about santa). Dorohedoro has a great visual style, fun characters, i enjoyed reading but it also kinda didnt ...land for me beyond that, which is a shame. I feel like it is a series that "should" have clicked with me. And its like, not offensive to me but.. I'll forget that ive read the whole thing. I like STUFF in it. but thats not enough for me anymore. If i had read it when i was younger tho, it might have been a diff story. idk. My most unpopular opinion of all is that... I hated Dungeon Meshi.. Sure its ..pretty! cute designs. but i found it SO painfully boring and it actually was a struggle to finish. in the end, it felt like a waste of time.. SHOCKING take i know. That is the darling of everyones heart and i like, understand WHY its popular. .. but for me, i was not fed by anything. i am unfed and starved and going to eat elsewhere oh, and i.. as a person who has read a lot of fighting mangas.. I have tried to read chainsaw man, but i dont know if I can. I did finish Fire Punch. I'm surprised to say: i kinda liked it but it took a long time to force myself to read thru it. I honestly hated many aspects of Fujimoto's storytelling/character acting that i didn't think my opinion on it would change, but I'm a little more open to it now. I dont think i could ever super be into it or whatever, but i did find genuine enjoyment in aspects of fire punch. I did not really like look back. I haven't read his other one shot(s)? Where am i going with all this..I guess im giving some unrequested reviews after all...oops... a lot of this is spurred by how houseki no kuni is one of my most fav series, not only visually/characters/story/ect.. but i cant lie.... the ending... was kind of a flop for me... gorgeous and poetic ig sure but.. AUGH! it isnt what i wanted. maybe it'll be one of those "it'll grow on me" endings but thats mostly me having to go thru the 5 stages of personal grief and gaslight myself into it, but as the like actual honest first-reaction feeling it kinda lost me. I think it did not work when i felt the confrontation btwn phos/cinnabar wasn't the one i wanted to see. i will say tho, while im dissapointed, its not like a DEEP one or anything. I know its a miracle to even get to an ending.. i guess my take away feeling from it was like "everything fit together too well, too planned" but didnt feel planned, emotionally. I wasn't sold on it. Anyway, im here to speak my truth and my hot takes which, i honestly dont even want to have that one about HnK but its the real feeling i have for it.. Once again Utena's ending just has made all these other issues i have with various stories more obvious LOL

#the series i hate MOST is one piece #those who know me in my life #know this truth about me #i loathe that thing!!!!!! #i am a hater and i dont wish to be changed #oda does good color spreads tho

i feel like. theres designing a character with certain themes and motifs in mind, and then theres making a gijinka for the water bottle on my nightstand

#me when im the only person on the bus wearing a mask: i should make a furry plaguesona #its hard to explain bc. most of the time i try NOT to give my characters a 'strong' theme like making their whole design around #one thing like apples or even broad stuff like baking or cottagecore.. idk if its partly for flexibility or because i cant imagine them #making it their whole personality. not bc i find it cringe or overblown but more like ive learned to associate design with character depth #i had a cutesy uwu persona for most of highschool because i thought it would make me more. likeable? easy to remember? since #memorable character designs are easy to recognize. and one way of doing that is simplifying it with a theme or symbol so you form an #association. but since im a real person its exhausting keeping up that appearance all the time and denying myself things when they dont #fit my 'aesthetic' or 'theme.' i think ive grown past that bc i just collect stuff because i think it looks cool and dont let myself dwell #on how it might 'fit' with my image. but i cant help feeling bad doing it to my own characters bc it feels like im making them too one #dimensional. despite knowing that theyre not real and design alone doesnt reflect depth i cant help feeling like its wrong #despite that i love seeing motifs because it feels like it reflects the characters soul and paradoxically gives them depth. it makes them #interesting to look at too and honestly its pretty fun combining things that fall under a similar category when designing #i struggle find a balance between those two things #actually this reminds me of noelles christmas theme.. i dont remember her saying anything abt liking christmas despite a lot of #her design and character tying back to it. it makes me wonder if she would have feelings about that or doesnt think abt it too hard #or if its like a matching family shirts situation and shes just going along with it?? #maybe i should just do whatever i want with my character designs since theyre not real and im thinking abt it too hard #although. this probably has something to do with deep seated identity issues huh #yapping #oc talk #oc

no matter what happens, no matter how much it hurts, you don't stop dancing, and you don't stop smiling, and you give those people what they want.

#I DONT POST NINJAGO HERE ANYMORE FOLLOW @LEGOGENDER #ninjago #cole brookstone #cole ninjago #be nice im still learning to paint LOL #if even one perspn can understnad this ill be amazed #sorry today we are going for the cole art drenched in personal interpretation #um. well first off hes trans. and i will say i think his entire s1 arc w his father feels very trans. if you dont understnad dont worry #but uhhh. i think a lot about how cole canonically still struggles with living up to expectations #despite making up with lou. and tbh honestly in my mind that didnt even happen #ive said before maybe but i Personally think the stronger arc for cole would have been having to make the choice to stay a ninja despite #his fathers disapproval. that maybe even tho lou disowns him it doesnt matter. bc the ninja r his real family now #bc honestly lou is so absent in the series it might as well ahve never happened LOL #but yeah in s11 is the obvious one. w the travellers tea #and again in s13 not being able to do the burst #feels a Lot like how he reacted in the royal blacksmith ep #i think lous expectations of cole and harsh treatment definitely cld have been the source of his issues. #and especially considering he says he had to do all the chores after his mothers death... makes his anxiety around being leader #(in early seasons) #a lot more sad. i think this was in books confirmed #um. yeah. i think abt cole. hes rlly interesting hope u understand now kinda #so yeah. and i used the bojack quote cus i think its similar in that cole was only young when lou installed these fears in him #'a song you taught me when i was small' and all that #altho i think the gina version fits jay also LOL #artsbotz

dni if you think charles mcgill was the 'true villain' of bcs or whatever or that he was solely in the wrong

#text #better call saul #bcs #charles mcgill #chuck mcgill #jimmy mcgill #saul goodman #now dgmw he has his problems #the biggest one is that he refuses to change #but it's so hard to change when it's hard to even accept that you have mental issues #and it's so hard to be a brother to someone like jimmy #like yeah chuck knocks him down a lot and doesn't believe in him #but jimmy makes selfish decision after selfish decision and after a while people have had enough #when he said 'we don't need to apologise to each other we don't need to understand each other' #i honestly got what he meant #jimmy doesn't need to be sorry. he's always sorry. he needs to do the work to change #and what breaks my heart is that chuck was almost there #he was almost changing #finally #but then everything changed #with the job and his interaction with jimmy #it just broke him #and jimmy changing those numbers on chuck's documents.... sorry but it's still one of the worst things he's done #bc chuck already has mental problems but now it'll be even harder for him to accept this bc everyone will see him as unstable and #untrustworthy

Not going to get involved in the ao3 politics shit but I just want to say after reading some of the top posts on this site I can tell most of the people talking about this subject very clearly did not experience Sexytimes With Wangxian

#honestly though despite how you feel about rhe big topics i havent seen much discussion about how The Candidate just... doesnt seem #experienced to be working that position at all? just objectively reading her interview she says she has NO experience working online #even communicating with slack or such; self proclaimed fandom newbie etc #like I can't tell you what to think about the big issues but like if you wanted to hire someone to work at your local dog shelter #and you interviewed them and they said they only really just started interacting w dogs and they had never had any experience #with dealing with caring for animals at all or the adoption process.. would you hire them lol #anyway just my 2 bits #ao3 #ao3 discourse #also hiding this at the very bottom of the tags bc i dont want to catch heat but i actually dont think people are aware so just to qualify #the rpf rhat got ao3 banned in china was not about a real life minor . i see a lot of people talking about minor rpf and i think its weird #as shit too personally but just to get facts right the rpf that allegedly sparked the ban was about a 30yr old adult man #idk if that changes anything but just putting that out there #oh ok also im getting intel that the reason the fic was mass reported and ao3 wS subsequently banned was because the fic #featured one of the actors as trans. so thats a frightening addition if true

maybe i’m just easily annoyed (and the news is depressing), but i feel like people on here (or the internet in general lbr) are more willing to criticize/dismiss (even label unrelated things as) “white feminism” (even if it’s bringing up important/relevant issues) than talk about feminism at all. sexism exists in every community you can think of, within every race, ethnicity, social class, religion, nationality, sexuality, what-have-you. it’s easier and more entertaining ig to point out how feminism is lacking or who’s doing feminism “wrong” then attempt to bridge/fill the gaps and actually, Seriously Talk about sexism in detail (and not like it’s some sort of 2nd tier, we’ll circle back to this much later, type of oppression which i Really get the impression of, even within supposedly-progressive spheres) on the regular and not as a series of gotcha posts that get enthusiastically reblogged for a blip in time and then. crickets. like as far as the patriarchy’s concerned (like if i’m looking at this from their perspective), this nitpicking appears very divide-and-conquer. nothing goes anywhere. and things just keep slipping backwards. maybe i’m crazy (maybe i’m way off base), but isn’t feminism meant to help All women, even the ones you dislike? even the ones you hate? like what’s going on here? am i missing something?

#like i definitely was one of those people who dismissed certain issues as 'white feminist' but honestly #i feel like in the long run that's done a lot more harm than good #opening up different websites gives me whiplash sometimes like. oh you HATE women here. ok. #and then watching the news like. oh so EVERYONE hates women. that's crazy! #or maybe i'm just a debbie downer #i'm black btw if it needs to be said. like this isn't me necessarily defending white feminism but honestly #even the most privileged silver spoon conventionally attractive white bread women deal with horrific sexism #we saw that with amber heard (for a very recent example) #just bc 'white feminism' has a lot of blind spots doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about feminism at all #and at least on tumblr that's what it feels like has happened. i could be living in a bubble tho. we all have our blind spots #rambles #feminism #this is very stream of consciousness i just had shit to say.

not to vent on main again but i'm in so much fucking pain rn

#i dont even really have anywhere to vent abt this so. sorry putting this here #//cw joint problems probably described a bit graphically #so im in the mountains with my dad. i was a bit anxious abt it considering my joints but dad said he kept it in mind when planning #well. yesterday i got dragged on a 16km/10 mile hike. most of it uphill and on hard terrain. 5 hours of non-stop hiking. #by the 3 hour mark with every step i took it felt like my femurs were being pushed out of hip sockets. but i couldnt say anything bc- #-he'd be mad. and its not like anything could be done. i STILL had to walk back home. noone would just magically bring me there. #complaining would be pointless. so i pushed on #it was agonizing but i managed to get home (then went to sleep immediately). i only voiced my issues/injuries when we got there #and today was meant to be lighter. we werent supposed to walk much #but plans changed. did 10km today. with a lot of stairs (exploring a fortress). my knees AND hips are fucking destroyed #and tommorow its another hiking day. its already planned and cant be changed now #i dont know how ill manage #im honestly a little scared. rn even walking a few steps hurts like a bitch. idk how ill manage a hike without complaining and beingannoying #vent #personal #yippee i love having marfan syndrome SO much

I swear I'm trying to type out the thing about my brain but I'm really not sure how much detail I feel comfortable going into... I used to be so open on here, but then uh, I had several big falling outs with friends and a couple of them started stalking me, so I left my blog on queue since 2014 and then stopped posting from 2016 to 2020. The only place I felt comfortable making posts relating to my personal life or mildly dissenting fandom-related posts was on a locked twt account with only 20-40 people on it.

Anyway, I'm Trying

#erin talks #text #I Think those people have moved on but honestly at this point I don't care as much #all of them have my address so if they were going to send me a bomb it would've happened years ago (they don't live in this country #so that takes part of the worry out of the equation) and I've started taking medication so I don't think I'd Completely fall apart if they #showed up in my notifs now compared to back then #so it's more a matter of forcing myself out of my comfort zone & reminding myself that unless I act like a complete asshole #with 0 regard for others then there's a very low chance there will be extreme negative reactions to my silly little posts #(but if you've ever wondered why I seem so hesitant to be completely honest about negative opinions or I put disclaimers on a lot of posts #it's not bc of like the whole 'twt is the only place where well articulated sentences get misconstrued. 'I like pancakes' 'so you hate #waffles?' no that's an entirely new sentence' thing . I feel bad that most ppl have this problem with the internet at large #since 2014 wrt rocking the boat the slightest bit but mine is from . teenagers who had similar issues that I did/do and didn't set out to #be 'evil' . I don't forgive them but they're not unforgivable ppl . you know?)

Sincerely as a former user of both Excel and sheets, it is nuts how much easier libre office calc is. Not in the typical way that certain things are easier to access but moreso that the formulas and ways things are set up just work with my brain better. I never really had much need to learn formulas in Excel because there were so many and the layout felt over complicated, and don't even get me started on sheets. But with calc, there's a lot more freedom with the formulas and a lot of the skills you have from either of those other programs carries on here. Not a super big point or anything to this post, just simply very appreciative of what calc can do.

#twist rambles #like. obviously i use it a lot to format data. and i was looking into how i wanted to compare two lists bc i need to see the duplicate #issues between them. I don't want to do that manually lol. and there are so many tactics that just work out there. #like. I think in some ways u do have to fight w calc a little bit. i did a school project where we had to do a timeline and where excel has #that feature built in. calc does not. i had to spend an hour familiarizing myself with the formulas and digging on old forums and that is #simply more enjoyable to me bc i walked away with much more knowledge of the program than ok click 2 buttons. i work w spreadsheets often #enough that familiarizing myself w the formulas and different tools honestly is more helpful than it being one of the billion menu options #plus libre is free and has a ton of manuals online. which is great. and it runs better on any machine than office #^ was just thinking about all of this bc i like. didnt have the desire to learn with other sheet programs but i do here. its rewarding

[shewantsitall]

It's angst on a new level tbh

#there was a school shooting today #words cannot express how fucked up it is that this is even an issue #or how fucked up it is that when the news broke me and the second grade team were in a data meeting with RTI #and the teacher who was leading the meeting saw the news and told us and then we went on talking about data #bc there's nothing we could say or do despite being just a few hours away #and so we just went on with our meeting #i never dreamed this would be the world I'm teaching in #talked to a friend today who said he was glad his mom only had a year left before retirement #just one more year in what should be a safe place but could turn into a combat zone at any moment #I've thought a lot about my kiddos today #people talk about how teachers without personal children just Don't Get It in a lot of ways #but as dramatic as it sounds i honestly cant imagine loving my personal child any more than i love these kids. not that I wouldnt love them #just...that i really love my kiddos #and I can honestly say that i think i would do anything for them #im going to go cry some more #and then plan for tomorrow as best as i can #and im going to cherish every second tomorrow. even the ones that are not the best. because they're seconds we get. #just my ramblings #cw vent #personal vent #teacher sadie rides the struggle bus #student teacher sadie ✨

i follow pjo tags that im usually fine seeing on my dash and i keep seeing people posting about some Discourse thats popped up again since the comic con card photo things came out about leah and like. i guess i curated my dash well because im seeing literally none of that

#crunchyposts #pjo #pjotv #im not tagging this with a//abeth i dont want it in my tag for her #thank god i dont follow racists and am not on reddit #the amount of people on reddit i saw who were so disappointed in them not looking like the characters #i honeslty dont really understand the gripes with them not looking like the book descriptions like any issues i had went out thewindow when #i saw actual people attached to them #i like that ann/beths black!!!!! i think it adds a lot to her character!!!!! #i dont give a shit about percys hair color!!!!!!!!!!! ive seen walker act i trust him!!!!!!! #i really dont get why people are so disappointed with it????? i saw one person say bc they had an idea of what they looked like for years #but i mean. more representation for marginalized groups #ive thought a lot about lack of rep as a queer south east asian person i was just happy there was more of it for other marginalized people #i wouldve preferred an animated show but honestly i prefer this now bc i never wouldve gotten why annabeth works better if shes black #if it was animated and they changed the race of any of them the discourse (cough and racism cough) would be 10x worse itd be awful #but like an all white cast???? i wouldnt like that either #and you KNOW the shitstorm online if they changed any major character even if it wasnt one of the main 3 #anyways sorry long tags again i thought a lot about this get off my blog if you complain about any of the actors appearances i dont think w #should dictate what a childs appearance should be just for a tv show #edit actually extra thing here i think it would be kinda cool if rachel was still white so we could subvert that trope of poc love interest #being stepping stones before the main character inevitably ends up with the white main love interest #if they made it like extra clear that he was going to choose annab/th though to shut down any racism that might happen

I’ve been seeing a lot of people (4/5 comments on a tyler edit but i wanted to talk about it 💀) saying Tyler as the hyde didn’t kill wednesday bc he was in love with her and respectfully I have to disagree. Like he even said himself that at first he couldn’t remember what happened and it was only later that things started coming to him. Then you might be saying ‘then why didnt he kill her when he was the Hyde’ but like your completely missing the fact that Thorhill needed her alive and probably ordered him to not harm her. For her spell thing to work she need the blood of a living ancestor. Whether he actually loved her or not is up for interpretation honestly, it’s entirely possible that Thornhill told him to get close to her and he was just using romantic feelings to manipulate her.

#wednesday spoilers #wednesday #tyler galpin #thornhill #marilyn thornhill #this is not a bash to the ship btw i honestly dont mind the ship i just personally perfer wednesday single or as a lesbian 🤷‍♀️ #the relationship could be really interesting #also someone pls talk about the show with me #only like 3 of my irl friends have seen it but 1 will probably never finish it and another 2 ive had passing convos with #tyler is a really interesting character i dont like him all that much but like its clear he was being used by thornhill #he has a lot of issues bc of him mom dying and his relationship with his dad is all complicated #idk how the whole hyde thing works like do they have different sets of memories/personality #cuz i mean im thinking that at first they were probs completely separate apart for body then they started blending seen thro tyler not reme- #mering anything at first #does that make sense #probably not but oh well

Sleepover w my probably unrequited crush was NOT good for me

#going insane. i slept for 2 hours mainly bcs i spent most of the time near cardiac arrest #such a cringefail moment nothing has changed since highschool etc. well it has but ive had 2 hrs of sleep and im being dramatic #i dont even know if shes in a relationship i think maybe shes in like a fwb situation w this guy she spends a lot of time with #who is very nice honestly might not even mind that like everyone here is polyam anyway lol but idk if she even likes me that way at all. #and i physically cannot talk to her abt this i think i'd genuinely die of a heart attack and bury myself alive no matter the outcome #but also i guess my life will stay this way forever if i dont eventually do smth abt crushes but im like SO scared #though i guess realistically the worst outcome is that i embarrass myself. like she's bisexual she's not going to kill me or be disgusted #WELL. Maybe I'll do smth abt this tomorrow (probably not) #but also im soo worried that if it's reciprocated it turns out i dont actually want anything from her #bcs that would mean i have Fucked Up Issues and i don't even know how to begin thinking abt solving them #anyway GOODNIGHT. I am tired and not in a state of mind to do deep psychoanalysis on myself 🗣

These sobs really limited my tags?????

I have so many more thoughts this is so so much less than 1/2. Broski. Big dislike

#its ‘i watched a tv show and i need to talk about it in the tags of this site im not on anymore’ time #ty to the void for always accepting my thoughts <3 #so honestly its just me thinking about the andromeda tv show. i just finished it and it left me destitute bc i clung onto the first 2 season #s as a basis and had ten thousand questions i *assumed* would be resolved. spoiler alert: they were nto #not*. and the coda addition helps but like. not enough. it explains some of the #oh fyi if anyone is reading or cared there will be spoilers #anyways it explained some of them ex for the cosmic engine bit. seemed pretty relevant and then was never mentioned again #i also MUCH prefer that version of trance — i had speculation she was a sun avatar which i took as confirmation when i finally noticed her #tattoo when harper used it to remind himself he put that data in the sun etc etc but i much prefer the sun-as-consciousness-astral-poject- #ing-slash-dreamjng-itself-a-body / being a little devil. i think that feels much more true to what we got in worldbuilding early on and tbh #the bar is on the floor bc any explanation would be better than what we got. also im sorry but s5 i trusted SO hard that that whole virgil #vox bit in the finale was insulting. couldnt even tie up the loose end you invented at the last minute????? MY god. i understand getting you #r budget halved but like. broski. it would have been better to ignore it at that point imo. #anywhoodle. i also have just ISSUES w the lack of resolution & not doing justice to literally any character #listen. why would you sink SO much effort into tyr just to have honestly what i feel is a disrespectful end to that character. like #tyr required me to do a LOT of thinking bc i sympathized with his position in exile etc while thinking also bro thats real fucked up. bro #stop thats fuckinng e*genics again dude. tbh with the entire species (im not looking up how to spell that rn) bc like the foundation of #their entire race is e*ugenics. (sorry censoring bc im in the tags just venting about tv) which obviously is a terrible idea but i think the #so it was like i am fundamentally against the concept but in show universe theg obviously did it etc but for me provided such a huge like #context to the universe. i fundamentally am not on board with all the commonwealth stuff like yeah i get it the magog are bad and scary but #like the neitzcheans (sp??? idc) are also Right There bein scary. then theres the ‘enhanced’ debate re dylan beka etc that like. is the same #but ‘’different’’ i guess. 🙄 anyways that is just to point out like. the level of thinking this show put me through just to blindside me w/ #no resolution. i had SO much hope. tyr selling iut to the abyss is disrespectful to all of the established work the actor did for him and #to the character as well even if i think the ideology is icky. he was shown to be even less and less self-centric survival guy as it went on #and also tbh i didnt understand the him stealing his kids dna thing. i really thought that was gonna gi in a different less bs direction #okay also while im here can i just say. that tyr and dylan had THE most romantic tension to me. everyone else felt very friendshipy and i am #NOT one to usually fall into a ‘they obviously should be together’ pipeline that the writers dont make themselves. but the back and forth ( #and intense eye contact) had me sitting there like. it was made in 2000 i know they wont do it but for not doing it they sure did! not that #i think they’d make a good couple (they would not) but that there was definitely something there on the dl you know? something more than #‘mutual respect’ you feel? and tbh! they also ruined the tyr beka thing by making her the matriarch. big ew huge ick.

love that everyone owning a smartphone has been pretty par for the course for the past decade and yet every time a smartphone is used in media it's just like nooooo god what is that. what IS that.

#part of it is bc i think a lot of media really awkwardly utilizes smartphones but i think a major part is honestly that smartphones just #ruin a lot of the intrigue of a story LOL.... for a lot of issues it's just sort of like. well yeah they can fix this because they have #their phone. they can google it. they have every phone number in existence at their fingertips. etc. #rly the only times this works is when the phone is either fucking dead or has no service. which doesn't count. #bc then it forces the characters to actually need to do multiple fucking steps to do something that would take like. idk. five seconds oth #otherwise. which is boring. #and i'm sure the same argument was made in the 00s with cellphones and in the 90s with pcs and etc etc etc. #but it was different...... you couldn't drag your pc everywhere. your cellphone had its limits in photo quality and internet access. #and the story of it all was better for it lmfao #boy.txt
