I honestly like to be subscribed to blogs who's favourite characters/ships/aspects of the game are different from mine. There's something nice about seeing someone else enjoying something different about the same thing, something I may not even knew existed or just didn't think about. Consequently, I may start to get invested into liking it myself, or, if it's something that I rather dislike, I just grow accustomed to seeing it and it gets into a rather neutral territory. Or, sometimes there are ships that are definitely not my cup of tea, but fanart is gorgeous enough for me to appreciate it regardless, maybe even reblog. Yeah, it's just nice to see people being passionate about something you also love, even if they do that differently

#that's why I personally prefer not to blog any tags because I may miss something that'll change my opinion on it #that goes with a note that I don't hate anything strongly enough to actually bother filtering #or there is no tag associated with it to filter anyway #just a personal preference #totally understand why others may prefer their experience to be more strictly filtered #not no block* god damnit why don't tumbr allow edit tags that'd be a useful update for once

all this is to say, i will unfollow blogs who repeatedly reblog press releases from companies/public figures, especially when there is no transformative nature to the reblog

this is not a judgement; I simply don’t want my tumblr to turn into a place where I have to hear about anyone’s new book or album or show

this does not apply to people posting or reblogging first-hand excitement. if you’re excited about hank green’s new book or the next season of an anime, cool, I’m not gonna judge you for posting about it (to a degree). but if you reblog the official announcements of it, I may consider unfollowing because I dislike and resent the recent intrusion of corporate blogs

I struggle with people asking me what I charge for readings. The answer so far is that simply put, I don't. If I'm willing to read for you, it is because you matter to me. It's been a long time since I've read for strangers, and never something I seriously considered earning money off of to begin with - oversaturated market aside, I don't want to hit a point where I stop doing something I genuinely love because it's become too demanding.

am I the only one who has a weird resistance to cql or a distaste for it despite loving other live action (like guardian) / donghua (mdzs/tgcf) adaptations?? 

is it something about mxtx works that don’t translate well into live action adaptations because of how tied in the plot + character motivations and the romance is? does this bode ill for other mxtx live action adaptations?? or am I just being a whiny lil baby and should rewatch cql with a more open mind? 

(i’d rather re-watch/hear the audio drama tbh or the donghua despite how much I loved the performances of the entire cast in the live action) 

#danmei #mdzs #mxtx #not anti #cql #I appreciate how much of the novel they put into the show #if i had any criticism it would be the 30 ep long flashback in the middle and the changes to plot #but i completely understand why they had to do it #and think they did a great job regardless #just a personal preference #maybe its guided by the fact that I saw the donghua first and cql didn't match up in my head #idk help a bitch out pls

Oh just a lil boundary I find worth mentioning!! If you ever come talk to me / interact with me, I prefer to not engage in ships involving Morro, Vania, Akita, or Harumi. I find it hard to pin point an age for them so i justtt dont ship em with anyone and can get fussy or uncomfortable discussing ships regarding them! Ur allowed to ship stuff (unless its weird and super gross) i just rather not talk about it and such! Hopefully that's okay woohoo *dances

#boundaries #ninjago #lego ninjago #ninjago ships #ninjago harumi #ninjago morro #ninjago vania #ninjago akita #JUST A PERSONAL PREFERENCE #Im very sensitive when it comes to characters and needing a canon age to ship them #sorry i am a little baby who just doesn't like assuming a characters age sometimes #we all cool tho #silly stuff

[lupicalled]

also i’ve said it before but it bears repeating: i hc razor’s voice to be far more like the chinese va’s. he’s far more quiet and level. i use play story quetss in chinese.

#( headcanon . ) #not like i dont like his english va #or his japanese one #but i tend to play in english daily #and do the story quests in chinese #i just feel like it sounds more...what the developers wanted #i guess #just a personal preference

so many voyager episodes have ended with me feeling unsatisfied, like they cut off the episode too early, sometimes it works, but sometimes it's just unfulfilling to the story :/

this is about 3x06 Remember, it ends with B'Elanna giving the memories to the other Enaran, but then we dont even see her at the end of them, saying she'll look for evidence, or anything at all. no reaction from her

I get that it was a choice to have an ambiguous ending, but it's beginning to become a theme with voyager that I'm starting to get a bit annoyed at...

anyways, it was a really compelling story, it was absolutely horrifying to see Korenna start chanting with the rest of them after her lover was executed, yikes.

#just a personal preference #there's just been one too many episodes where the credits start playing and im honestly so surprised that's where the episode ends #star trek voyager #voyager remember #voyager 3x06 #voyager s3e6 #naomi watches voy #b'elanna torres

Soooooo theres this new quirrel x grimm but they are exes ship going around that MIGHT be because of me. Anyways, how do you feel about it?

I don't really keep up with Hollow Knight stuff (even less so ships)-

That said, no bad intent but I don't care much about Quirrel ships in general ^^;

So all I can say is I don't really have an opinion on it, to be completely honest.

#just a personal preference #I like quirrel/tiso but its not really an OTP or anything I seriously like invest into.

after having an entire hour long conversation with my coworkers about what "degendering" is, and the importance of using trans people's pronouns when you know them- rather than always defaulting to "they/them" no matter what- and still getting "they/them"ed by people I trusted not to fucking do that to me, I have decided that the name and pronouns circle of introductions for new additions to the group will now include the very clearly stated boundary that they do not use "they/them" pronouns for me.

your move, cowards!

#the positive end of this is that i happened to be the first non-cis person to introduce myself in the circle #and two nonbinary(?) people after me both followed suit & elaborated on like #which pronouns were okay AND which pronouns they actually preferred people use for them/how they use them #which was really cool!! #usually they've just given the list of which ones were okay #so it was nice to have the detailed insight and also nice to see them asset boundaries

does this apply to Erik Johnson bc hes either engaged or married but hes definitely not single

If they’re married/engaged they are off the roster. But. If they are not married or engaged, they’re still on the roster.

finally at that age where i'm thinking i should get a tattoo. not bc i feel strongly about it, just seems like a waste not to. i've got so much skin i'm not using

#feels so selfish like. all this skin what am i saving it for? #open to design suggestions! (please make me regret this offer) #maybe some deep sea horrors. a pretty watercolor of a gulper eel #once saw a person on the subway with various Skeleton Tattoos on all their limbs #i respected their commitment to the theme #but more than that i respected how all the skeletons were engaged in Activities #dancing in a ballgown. juggling its own (and two other???) skulls. swordfighting. being a mermaid skeleton #ANYWAY. the only reason i haven't already gotten tattoos is i just couldn't be bothered #i'm old enough to know i don't have any strong-but-potentially-temporary feelings driving me towards it #aesthetically i prefer decorated to non-decorated surfaces. but i'm not artistic or thrilled with commitment #honestly it feels like sheer laziness. indecisiveness--nay. immaturity!--that i HAVEN'T gotten a tattoo yet #letting all this blank canvas go to waste. tut tut i need to grow up and be an adult and get a tattoo sleeve already. #really i've put off my responsibilities long enough #(in fairness i DID at one time have 18 different piercings) #(but i took most of them out bc they interfere with wearing headphones and/or shoving my face in my pillow during Sleep Time) #(i only kept the nape piercing bc oddly enough it ended up being the most convenient. and the least painful to get now i think about it.) #(neck piercing? no problem. normal pair of earrings? Tribulations And Suffering. i don't make the rules i just poke them with a stick.)

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.

except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?

at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.

except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.

about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.

he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.

#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag #writeblr #it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal #fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho) #healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy #im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage.... #1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind #and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes #2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception'' #3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.'' #idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh #im sure there are people who have this experience normally #but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists #when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band'' #edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful #once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large #but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry. #but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes #but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally. #i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes #people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism #but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet . #i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY #and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound. #but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in #i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too. #here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change #was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort) #choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL
