#i can’t relate

[impish-ivy]

Ok so I’ve had this thought in my mind for like ever!

So by now everyone is very aware of Belphie and his manipulation in S1 OG.

Well in OG OM S2 Satan is tutoring us for our Seductive Speechcraft exam, and this is now he describes how to manipulate humans for their souls.

We learn that Belphie is apparently very good at Seductive Speechcraft.

This man is and should not be good at Seductive Speechcraft at all! I mean just look at his first interaction with MC!

He lies about being a demon and he is openly hostile to MC! The two things Satan says not to do!

And I’m supposed to believe this guy is a star student in Seductive Speechcraft!?

I call bullshit!

No I don’t wanna partner with you, I want to pass my exams!

#obey me #obey me belphegor #obey me Belphie #obey me shall we date #obey me spoilers #not a Belphie hate post #<- VERY IMPORTANT TAG #I think hating any of the characters is silly and dumb #I can’t relate #I’m just teasing the writers (and Belphie) for this oversight

Imagine being a good writer.

Lmao, can’t relate.

#welp #guess it’s self deprecating hours #bees insecurities #lmao #my writing really has gone to shit recently #idk #maybe it’s because we don’t have any new Encanto content #could that be why I’m losing inspiration for literally every fic I work on? #imagine actually been a good writer tho? #like my dude #i can’t relate #but good for you lmao #bee speaks #bees self deprecating hours #bees thoughts #bees rambles #bees tags #bee rambles #bee talk time

Fanfic problems: when you’re writing an intense scene and get stuck, and feel like your characters are almost yelling at you like…

#Four is even harder to write than I thought #my kudos to the authors that capture him flawlessly #I can’t relate #this scene is high tension between Four and Brady and it’s just not working the way I want

People getting offended whenever they see Black Annabeth with book Percy in fanart makes me giggle. Bro, people have been drawing Annabeth as black for years. Its not just bc of the show.

#pjo #percabeth #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percy series #its so funny to me #like sorry bro but I’ve imagined Annabeth as black since I was 8 #it is also a smaller part in the conversation of why people all of a sudden can’t relate to her bc her race changed #everyone can relate to percy just fine tho….i wonder why #jhene.txt

Look, look, some of the deepest, most intricately detailed, real and profound media I’ve ever seen is also the stupidest, most ridiculous and strangest media I’ve ever seen, promise me you’ll get real weird with it

#writing #writeblr #relatable #writer things #tv shows #books #movies #3 things in this category for me I’d say though one is strongest in my mind right now #I still won’t say its name but it lives in my mind rent free and I can’t evict it if I tried #tag things bestie tag things #textpost

Eddie posts a Tiktok where he’s just explaining that TikTok trend where someone’s like ‘we’re (blank), of course blah blah blah’ to Steve. He’s like, “Wanna do one of those with me?”

Steve, who was just woken up from a nap so Eddie could explain this to him, is like, “Eddie…please, I cannot hear you if I don’t have my glasses on. Do not talk to me right now.”

#Eddie specifically waited until Steve was in a deep sleep to wake him up because he was more likely to say yes #don’t know how relatable this is to other people with bad eyesight but if I can’t see you I’m listening #eddie munson tiktok saga #eddie munson #steve harrington

I either feel things so deeply they paralyse me or I just can’t seem to feel a damn thing

“nobody understands me” but not in the “edgy suffering from teenager syndrome mad at mom” kind of way, but the “lonely isolating young adult realization that the specific combination of mental illnesses and past experiences i’ve had have resulted in a pattern of behaviors that are often misinterpreted and misconstrued by others” type of way

#maybe it’s the mental illness but boy howdy do i feel like an outsider #as a teenager it’s usually the feeling that everybody else is a stick in the mud and stupider than you kind of stuff #now i’m feeling like everybody else is a real person while i’m only partially a person #like there’s so much of myself missing and i can’t seem to relate with anybody else #it’s lonely feeling like nobody would understand how my brain works even if i tried to explain it to them #idk how to tag this but i hope anybody else can relate #actually neurodivergent #actually neurodiverse #adhd #actually adhd #ocd #mental illness #mentally ill #neurodivergent #👁‍🗨 #🌀

I think I’ve been disappointed by Super Bowl halftime shows ever since Katy Perry set the bar too high in 2015. Like, come on. The aerial entrance? The giant moving light-up tiger? Fricken Left Shark which became a meme. All the outfit changes. Like don’t get me wrong there have been some cool half-time shows since then, but not on Katy Perry’s level.

#where’s the theatrics #the technology #I keep getting my hopes up too high #I want something I can’t take my eyes off of but I just keep getting bored #super bowl #superbowl #super bowl 2024 #superbowl 2024 #half time show #super bowl halftime show #katy perry #left shark #football #shitpost #relatable #also this isn’t just about Usher I promise #this is something I’ve been thinking every year since 2015

oooooo white people in my replies really saying ‘I can excuse racism but I draw the line at homophobia’

Not surprised since this is the site that only talks about racism and thinks it’s a big deal when they see it demonstrated in the cartoons and comics they like *coughs* dungeonmeshi *coughs* (for example at least. I haven’t seen THIS many white ppl talk as in depth about racism on here as much as these fandom nerds, man. I stg. Like “Ohhhh, so you all DO acknowledge that racism is real? Just not in real life even if you could feel it slapping you in the face at high speed. Gotcha.” It’s crazy.

Tumblr is like, 90% white and is extremely centered around them. That’s why you barely see stuff that’s important to black and brown people ever trending here or being talked about. It has to be something incredibly huge to the point where even white people can’t ignore it like they usually do, to talk about it here.

They only talked about George Floyd here because the topic of his death became world news. Even people in other countries were talking about it. Before him, it was probably Ferguson and Trayvon Martin… most of them are still trying their best to ignore the genocides because it’s a “touchy subject.” What do you expect from white people who live in their own bubbles of comfort and refuse to pop it with a needle??? They find comfort in their privilege and faux ignorance (they love playing stupid to avoid conversations about important things outside of fandoms like, are these mfs born with half a brain dedicated to fandom or what.) That’s literally all these mfs make a big deal out of, especially on this annoying ass platform. The ao3 mfs will go to war for the site that allows racist ff and cp like it’s no big deal. I wonder how many people here even donated to the site while actively scrolling past dono posts from folks who really do need help. They act like they’re doing a civil service by defending this site that makes over the amount of it’s intended dono goal in minutes.

Then you already know as soon as you even bring up racism in the stuff they like, they start ganging up and harassing black bloggers especially, calling them TERFs and the whole nine. Anything to make that person look bad for being concerned about the racism that they have such an intense aversion to. God, it’s absolutely exhausting knowing that these people would have no problem choosing a cartoon character over your entire existence if they COULD. Isn’t that fucking sad, man?

#:( #it’s like what can you do #as a black person I get why sm black bloggers here have ‘don’t follow me if you’re white’ in their bios #they’ll call it racist or whatever (it’s fucking not you guys just treat black ppl like shit here and most of us feel unsafe to interact #with y’all. you guys always turn on us at the drop of a hat) #i remember commenting on a HS post funny enough years ago #because the punchline of the post was literally the white mfs saying nigga #and I was so annoyed that I told them off and one of my white mutuals unfollowed meanjsjsjsl #like right after that #and another unfollowed me because I talk about racism and the like a lot like this is a really well known artist too so I was like 🧍🏾‍♀️? #because I talk about racism a lot??? it’s weird lol #like they’ll tolerate you for a while then when they feel offended they start to act weird and act like you’re not supposed to talk about #the stuff that effects you #tkf replies #karmelarts #they don’t give a shit about anything if it doesn’t personally Involve them #they act like they can’t relate to anyone or anything it they aren’t marginalized themselves (being gay or trans which they treat as a #personality trait) #notice how you never see movies/ shows about black and brown ppl trending here? it’s always white centered shit no #matter how hot and popular that show might be #you’ll never see something like the wire snowfall or power trending here #all of the black ppl are on twitter anyway so #sm black ppl got ran off of here by annoying white ppl

I definitely do not need more OC’s but here’s my new selkie guy Tiernan. I decided with his design to make him look a little less than human.

The lighthouse keeper keeps trying to make him return to the sea but he refuses to listen to her 😂

#he’s still very new in my head so he’s subject to change #I don’t know why but I can’t imagine him talking so he might end up being mute #selkie #Tiernan #I really do not need more OC’s but that’s what I said with jester 😂 #he’s not related to the foolknight story so he and his lighthouse keeper are doing their own thing

Isn’t it funny that you never see anyone throwing a hissy fit over the inclusion of flora not native to Medieval Europe in Tolkien or other fantasy works.

Tomatoes, tobacco, POTATOES, tea and sugar, are all perfectly acceptable and normal for Tolkien to have included in Middle earth, but depict a single character with brown skin, and suddenly it’s not realistic, and WHAT ABOUT OUR HERITAGE.

Forget that we don’t analyze the heritage of white actors playing these rolls to make sure they’re from the proper culture to represent Tolkien’s extremely English story. Has a single person ever complained that Frodo and Sam were played by Americans when Hobbiton is CLEARLY based on rural England?

According to some, Hobbits can grow food and other crops that were only introduced into Europe through the violence of imperialism, but to have the hobbits look like the people who originally grew those crops is sacrilegious.

Medieval Europe, which wasn’t as homogenous as people think anyways, is only ever trotted out to justify hating the inclusion of black and brown characters.

If Sam can wax poetic about potatoes, he can look like came from Peru, like potatoes did.

And if that idea bothers you, maybe examine why.

#tolkien #the silmarillion #lotr #jirt #silm #jrr tolkien #I’m still not about rings of power but that’s because of every other choice they made #also why not take advantage of increasingly evil Numenor’s colonization of Umbar #a canon reality of the second age that saw relations turn from cultural exchange to domination #that is including diverse narratives and one of Tolkien’s opinions that aged great was his anti-imperialism #the condescending way he argued against it didn’t age as gracefully #but you can’t have everything #anyways people need to examine why non white people being included in a work of fantasy makes them angry #I mean we all know why
