#is it criticism if I’m just raging on it?

[a-curious-being]

You know what?

I don’t give a shit if I’m Rick Rolled when I shuffle my music.

The Benny Hill theme song makes me giggle when it pops up.

Sometimes I scramble to change a song because it is WAY to vulgar for the situation.

But THE ONE SONG that makes me squirm, grimace and makes me question why I haven’t deleted it yet is this fucker!!

Mother fucking Undercover Love, from the Rock of Ages movie!! It’s the only song original to the movie and I fucking HATE IT!!!

At this point the only reason I haven’t deleted the whole album it as a hubris check, can’t fight God when this song shrinks my soul every time I hear it.

(I’ve actually created a playlist of the original songs!)

#I hate this song #so much!!!! #no offense #diego boneta #but it’s awful #undercover love #rock of ages #rock of ages movie #music #music criticism #is it criticism if I’m just raging on it? #Rick roll me #it would be better than this #benny hill is there for DnD purposes

watching the sdcc panel and i am just very :) about how sweet their answers to “what are some of the micro moments from the game that have stuck with you the most over the years?” are. taliesin saying what the fuck is up with that which was the first like The Party Gets To Know Each Other moments of c3. travis saying asking his wife if he could kiss her in campaign. marisha going way back to the cannonball competition in campaign one. ashley choosing the beauyasha date but also just the silly goat noise matt made. liam adding onto that to compliment matt roleplaying grass so well and then saying his favourite moment was writing a story for laura and reading it to her as caleb for jester. and then matt saying that was his answer, and that his favourite moments of the game are when they find ways to give gifts to each other whether tangible or not. and sam saying his favourite moments have less to do with the story and is more so when he can just. see his friends across the table from him. when marisha perches and when laura and ashley are (badly) drawing dicks and liam saying he loves when sam sneezes and ashley tells him to stop it and just. yeah. they Are an extremely popular online powerhouse, but i’m so happy that they’re also friends building a world together out of gifts to and love for one another.

like i Am so enamoured with the characters and the world of exandria but the moments when you can feel the love that those people have for each other reach out from behind the stained glass of their performances (to steal a metaphor from brennan lee mulligan) are so extremely special and i am endlessly grateful that they decided to share their silly little home game with the world.

#it’s just the. laura and travis’ characters always being supportive of one another when they’re facing hardship #taliesin and marisha consistently making characters who challenge one another and still protect each other relentlessly #all of them being so fond of ashley’s characters always and literally seeing them light up in c1 episodes when ash got to join in person #sam and liam always making characters who offer one another reprieves into kindness that they don’t always get in the campaign setting #liam making orym after falling in love with keyleth as vax #marisha making laudna after matt’s storytelling with delilah and choosing vex as her body double #ashley using ‘i would like to rage’ and matt having kord ask her where she finds her strength #laura and matt always weaving these deeply complicated and emotional interactions between a daughter and a father #the gasps and yells and clapping when matt makes cool sound effects or reveals a map or breaks/ends on a cliff hanger #them ending both campaign 1 and 2 with ‘what a great/nice story’ and travis saying ‘let’s do it again!’ #and it’s like. yes yes i love the comics and i’m a fan of tlovm but . seeing this well produced thing that somehow mimics #the feeling i get sitting in my living room laughing with my roommates about my ranger’s giant rat failing to climb stairs #it’s very special it’s very sweet #critical role #sdcc 2023 #taliesin jaffe #travis willingham #marisha ray #ashley johnson #liam o’brien #matthew mercer #laura bailey #sam riegel #cr cast #critical role cast #my posts

“That’s it? That’s the Hazbin hotel season one finale?”

#yeah I’m not even mad I just feel nothing lol #no rage…not angry just….wow okay what a nothing burger #I’m just depressed like this show makes me feel nothing now than it did before #I’ll make a post about it sometime later when I feel like it #long story short it was okay but obviously not good #there’s still so many plot holes and it was rushed #like lol #vivziepop critical #spindlehorse critical #hazbin hotel critical #anti vivziepop

Brennan gets lower/working class anger on such a visceral level and Sean Finnerty was a perfect example of that.

I mean he brings a sort of working-class-anger to a lot of dimension 20 (shoutout to the halfling family in fantasy high I don’t feel like looking up your names but you were so real), but Sean had the working-class-deep-seated-rage thing that I as a poor person really fucking loved.

#brennan lee mulligan #critical role #candela obscura spoilers #candela obscura #sean finnerty #look I just think rage fantasies against the rich are valid and good and Brennan should do it more #sometimes you want a peaceful revolution and sometimes you wanna bash in the head of any rich man who actively made your life hell #I’m just saying ‘that scene’ was cathartic as hell and I loved it

Saw a post making fun of Asexuals in the year of our Good Vibes 2022 so a reminder:

The A stands for the Asexual community and spectrum (it also represents the Aromantic and Agender communities but I’m Asexual so I’ll be talking about that specifically in this post)

Celibacy is a choice to abstain from sex. Asexuality is a sexuality defined by a lack of sexual attraction to anyone, not by the choice to abstain from sex.

Every asexual person has different feelings on sex (an activity, not an attraction) - some are sex repulsed, some are sex neutral, and some are sex favorable. A physically pleasurable experience is not equal to an attraction to parties involved.

The Asexual community has been around since the dawn of the Queer liberation movement, and Asexual individuals have always existed.

Aphobia is real and has done tangible harm to Asexual people. Listen to and learn from their experiences.

If you make fun of Asexuals and their community jokes (dragons/cakes/cards) you are Aphobic. If you’re Asexual and you make fun of these aspects of your own community or consider them ‘cringe’ you have internalized Aphobia.

Sometimes teenagers and young people will identify as Asexual and change their label later in life. This does not mean that all young people who identify as Asexual will change their minds, nor does it mean that all people who identify as Asexual are young.

Seriously what do you people have against the dragons and cake jokes those are classic and hilarious please deconstruct why you have so much rage for harmless jokes that’s not a healthy response to silliness.

Anyways reblog this post if you’re Asexual, support Asexuals, or really want a dragon.

#edir:​that last point is not at other aces it’s at the aphobic post I saw #please don’t tag this as ace discourse it stresses me out those were dark times. we’re here to celebrate aces on this post <3 #yes I know it’s supposed to be sex favorable not positive I corrected the post hours after I made it. not my fault popular blog reblogged #the version w the typo #stop being weird and aggressive towards me in your tags I’m sorry my poorly worded 5 AM rage post got reblogged to your dash ig #ra speaks #asexual #asexuality #queer #lgbt #violence killing maiming biting etc. #i did not watch people who would evolve into modern t*rfs and g*nder critical blogs harass and suicide bait hundreds of blogs off this site #just to see it happen again #i am buff as hell I’ll kneecap you if I meet you irl #edit: #please be gentle in the notes I have the emotional constitution of a dog in an ASPCA commercial and also I don’t read tone well

absolutely rad and awesome (sarcastic) that my gender nonconformity was used in my diagnostic reports as a key part of justifying my diagnoses

“has shaved hair because she’s scared of people touching her neck”, “shopped in the boy’s section because she prefers the texture of those clothes”, etc etc

it’s not that those things aren’t a part of it. but never was I asked about my experiences with gender or gender expression. I just walked into the psychiatrist’s room looking masc as hell, and they scrambled to find an explanation for it that gelled with the diagnosis they already wanted to give me

#psych critical #okay I’m done now #just. every time I read my diagnostic report I get filled with rage

[ntaras]

i think a lot of people coddle kuai liang too much. yes he’s good and a tortured man etc. and people see that he has struggled but don’t really see that he still is struggling and has faults. even in mk12 people aren’t really talking about how he did in fact try to kill bi-han- which yes, he would have regretted, but that is still a fault you have to see in him. he’s susceptible to fits of blind rage that will make him do things he’ll regret. his anger was justified (obviously) but he’s also capable of murdering his own brother (which once again, i am sure he would have regretted).

#like criticism of writing aside- that is who he is now. he isn’t an innocent baby who needs to be constantly coddled #he’s a nice guy he’s a great guy etc etc etc but he has these negative traits that are a part of his character #idk if infantilizing would be the right word for what i feel like this fandom does to him #as much as i talk about bihan it’s kuai liang who’s the character who i love most #mostly for sentimental reasons due to being the character i first liked #but i feel like the fandom doesn’t really appreciate him as much as they want to ‘baby’ him #and once again he’s one of the purest characters out there!! but he’s also full of a lot of pain #and in mk12 we actually saw him exert that pain into rage which almost killed bihan #and it’s a negative part of him (the consequences of his blinding rage) that we have to also accept as a part of him #this isn’t directed at anyone this is just a general problem i have with the fandom #i like him a lot and think he has faults we should also appreciate him for and that negative traits in a character don’t make them a bad #character but make them more interesting 👍 #i think his anger is now brushed off as ‘oh yeah it’s justified’ and like yeah but also do you see how he almost killed bihan? how he #violently killed the guards? #how he would have done that to bihan if he was not stopped by a gaurd? #his anger is beyond something that’s just ‘justified’ it’s also something that *can* control him #and yes i’m aware he ended up sparing bihan after their fight but that’s not the point i’m making #kuai liang #talking;

But if the Critical Role team knows how much we hate the ASMR ad, why do they keep playing it? 😭

#critical role #like I know for a lot of people it might be a funny love hate kind of deal #but my misophonia response goes insane #like it is honestly gives me the worst reaction I think I’ve ever had to ASMR #I start swearing and threatening violence #it honestly just ENRAGES me out of nowhere and I HATE it #SO FREAKING MUCH #can you tell it was just on? #and I feel so dumb because it’s just a stupid af #but that’s the whole thing about misophonia is that it literally causes irrational rage just from certain types of sounds #I’m begging you guys to retire it #I’d rather the weird rami malek ad come back #I’d rather watch the nordverse Sam/Laura cgi combo #that’s how much I hate the ASMR ad

The fact that Cas does not and has never taken Crowley’s shit is actually SO critical for why Crowstiel actually works as a Cas ship, especially over D*stiel. Because Cas basically prostrates himself before Dean on all levels but physical and he accepts both Dean’s orders and inordinately harsh judgements of him almost always without questioning or pushing back, and he sacrifices his self respect, his self worth, his own wants and needs in order to be what Dean wants him to be. But Crowley? Lol. If Crowley for whatever reason ever tried to pull anything even slightly petty or unfair, Cas would literally not have ONE second of it. He would call him out in an instant and we see that on the show all the time. And I’m saying all this as one of the maybe 5 people who can imagine Crowstiel being not just completely contentious, so it’s not that I think Cas would actually need to constantly stand up to Crowley or defend himself all the time. But it’s the idea of Cas, as someone who is VERY prone to letting people walk all over him when he wants to keep their favour, getting to have a partner who he for sure will never allow to do that, and who loves him without him feeling the need to be subservient in order to maintain that love—a partner he can feel like an actual equal beside, who doesn’t push him to the point of foregoing his own self respect and self worth. Imo.

#Does this make any sense at all #Crowstiel #Dean critical #Safeantidestiel #My posts #For example: #Dean saying “you dropped the ball” to Cas when the whole team fails and Cas is like yes I alone did this 😔 #And Dean just continues to rage at him and he takes it #Crowley saying “you dropped the ball” to Cas when the whole team fails and Cas is like OH I’m sorry and you didn’t? #And maybe there’s a brief back and forth but Cas would not back down until Crowley admitted he dropped the ball too #You KNOW Cas wouldn’t #And frankly that’s already a way healthier foundation for a relationship compared to D*stiel anything

Justice for cborle tonight but idk if there's anything that would help me get over mike faist winning the audience award for best breakthrough performance over 12yo Anthony Rosenthal

im serious you cannot keep bringing up the thing i was the most mad about in high school (silly) those tony awards are probably the worst ever

like it’s so clear that anthony should have won that i don’t even know how to explain it. HE WAS 12 AND LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE HE GAVE!!!!! he was in so much more of the show than mike faist was too, which i feel should be taken into consideration because he shows more depth of acting ability. he has comic relief moments, he has deeply emotional moments, and he just embodies the character so well.

#im malding i’m seething thank you for reminding me of my rage #i can’t get into it but. it’s so fucking stupid that d e h won all those awards over an actual queer musical #they made no homo jokes meanwhile falsettos is an intense complicated look on family and queerness and the aids crisis #deh critical #< idk if that’s a tag but i just made it #thank you for sending me the ask tho (genuine) i haven’t thought hard about musicals in years and i wanna get back into it #bronzetomatoes #ask

[aemiron-main]

if the weird anon who keeps sending me my full name AGAIN would please knock it off that would be very cool

#obviously can’t post the ask LMFAO but this is happening again?? #and it’s freaking me out bc last night and over the past few months I’ve had a bunch of my accts log me out randomly?? #including tumblr logging me out and some weirdness w my email address?? #I’ve had a similar problem before bc surprisingly I’m not the only person using the name ‘Aemiron’ and actually fought w someone on insta #over the handle/name so usually I just attribute any weirdness to that and people making accts w my name bc they use the same one and just #shit like that it’s happened on a few sites now and I just sit here like. i hope it’s just think wanting the irl and not being malicious #yknow?? again I’m probably overthinking this but this weird anon plus some of the ppl I’ve argued with on various platforms and actually in #a writing discord abt this shit has me paranoid esp since I used my legal firstname in the writing discord at the time in addition to #Aemiron bc I wasn’t out online as trans yet. and the person I was arguing with like lost their shit and went into a rage in my dms over #an argument abt religion and bigotry and abt how to approach it in writing and just criticism that they had ASKED for #and it was even weirder bc me and them had ALMOST been friends chatting in dms but they got super weirdly like possessively attached despite #us not knowing eachother well and just used to be super weird abt it and I’m just like. i hope this isn’t related to That #bc that caused some issues for me lmfao #like god I just ignore the asks and end up panic deleting them bc I don’t want to have to see my deadname in my inbox

daily reminder that this is a toa merlin hate blog!!

#kitkat rambles #tales of arcadia #literally biting chomping killing rn #rewatching trollhunters is all well and good until I have to watch a house divided #and like. i hadn’t seen that episode in full in YEARS bc the bathtub scene emotionally scarred me when I was 15 #I’d watched the bathtub scene itself but not in the context of the ep with all of merlin’s manipulation #safe to say I never really stopped hating him but damn did I forget how fucked up the shit he said to jim was #and I am now filled with rage!! #and also guilt for being a wizards enjoyer lol #I don’t think it’s merlin apologism per se but it’s definitely Not as critical of merlin (and arthur) as it should be #anyway. brb killing that man #also I’m watching w my family and that was a ride bc my dad fucking fell ASLEEP before the bathtub scene #so we had to go through it once and then rewind it which just made the whole thing worse #so moral of the story I’m apparently not over emotional damage dealt out by a cartoon I watched in high school #and while I’m all for well rounded children’s media with dark themes I think dreamworks went a little too hard with this one #considering it effectively traumatized both 15 year old me and my 50something mom

I criticize things I analyze things I tear them apart I sew them back together I love the tattered thing

You can love your escapist fantasies and still decide to analyze them. It’s not for everyone but don’t be upset if someone decides to do it. 😘

#this whole fandom is about criticizing things #and it’s not rage at the fictional billionaires tho the fascination with them is something #and also sorry if I mixed fanon with canon #but the issue is recognizing why character development needs to be worked on in YA books #even if it’s a fantasy or escapist thing #don’t you want to read about character’s who change? #who challenge others? #silly fictional books about vampires and werewolves can still have character growth #also I’m just rambling bc honestly this is fun I like seeing other perspectives on things #but don’t say not pick on something bc it’s an escapist fantasy lol #it might be yours and you might like it that way but I love to analyze my fantasies #keeps me humble lol #twilight renaissance #effervescent

[pinkfey]

#i literally. i figured out my problem with writing. king of critical analysis. #my problem is that i’m always trying to invent something i don’t have to tools for #i don’t mean this poetically i mean like. i genuinely can’t put depth into what i write. i’m always grasping at straws #i don’t do purple prose anymore which strips away the veneer and shows me how everything i write is flat n there’s no substance or character #which means i’m just !! not good !! and was never !! maybe i’m being too hard on myself bc it’s been so long since i’ve really written #i just. idk. words used to flow. there were really good fucking lines. it was my talent. #but i don’t have the talent anymore so it’s all awkward now D: i genuinely don’t know how to write anymore #but it makes sense like. yeah this is what happens when you rage quit writing after losing everything you’ve ever written at like. idk 18. #aaaaaggghhhh #baby steps i guess #anyways.txt

[per1shed]

u know what i find insane is that disabled/chronically ill people are always expected to accept the bare minimum or less? like everyone else has a million options and we have 1 or 2 and always get the short end of the stick but we aren’t allowed to complain? and when you ask them would you accept it that way they wouldn’t??? BUT WE HAVE TO ????? WHY ????????????????

#like just put them in a home!!! woul you want to live in a fucking nursing home? at 25? no? so why do you expect me to except it ???????? #the amount of criticism and bad looks i get when i say i don’t want something when i know damn well the same person wouldn’t want that for #themselves? #shouldn’t it be the opposite at that ??? why am i not allowed to want MORE when i’m the one fucking suffering ??????? #accept* sorry i was in rage #l

finished azure gleam and now i’m fucking annoyed because like. honestly fe3h/few3h should have never been about the lords it should have been about the nabateans/agarthans 🙄

#like. i hate how we essentially have 2 games lore dump a shit ton about the origins of fodlan #and how like the actions/grudges between these groups still have an ACTIVE influence on fodlan THOUSANDS of years later and like. #it’s acknowledged in the most shallow way possible it’s aggravating #i mean yeah sure the primary focus of the games are the lords and their circumstances which i get. but #when essentially all of the tragedies and happenings of these lords are somehow related to this overarching conflict. it’s fucking annoying #like… bc of the lore… it just makes the lords part of something bigger than themselves and they’re not even aware of it. it’s stupid #i’m not saying the nabateans/twsitd should be the protag/antag (depending on who u side w ig) in 3h but it’s so dumb to have them relegated #to the fucking background. when they are STILL around influencing shit in fodlan #was it kusakihara who said that the lore didn’t really matter??? fuck that guy #he dropped the ball. with EVERYTHING. his lore. his characters. his avatar. his gameplay mechanics. like fuck that guy holy shit #but i got to marry dimitri fire emblem ig so 10/10 game #i have two more routes to play for few3h. i am not excited tbh #also help. can we actually talk about azure gleam. what the fuck was going there besties #actually no. do not speak to me i don’t want discourse #i’ve invested two years(?) in this stupid war crimes academy game and have nothing to show for it but a deep unsettling rage when #i begin to just Think about the game. not even Critically Think. just a simple Think. #i want engage to be released already so i don’t ever have to think abt this game again help #astro.txt
