im so fucking tired of the disrespect gifmakers get on the gifmaker website

#kai.txt #negativity tw #(sorry these are gonna be a lot of tags. i have a lot of feelings and i dont know where else to put them) #we make gifs and nobody reblogs them #when they do get reblogged all people want to tell you is that your gifs arent good enough to them and rip it to shreds #'you're missing x' 'why didnt you do y' 'if i made this i would have abc' 'hey op ur wrong and this is why' 'i dont like this op' #reposters dont even reblog your fucking gifset but they'll save your gifs to repost later asking for how to do something #that they could have asked you how to do in the fucking first place #we reblog ourselves constantly because nobody else will and maybe to make our work look like it has more notes than it does #to make ourselves feel better about the lack of interaction we're getting #and then when we TALK about this frustration we have. people who are too afraid to say it to our faces #go on anon in our askboxes and tell us how we're somehow selfish for wanting people to interact with the sets #that we spent time on. hours. days. WEEKS in some cases #or we get anons who tell us the reason we dont have notes are because we arent good at gifmaking in the first place #but this is all on anon. because they're too scared to tell it to our faces #they're too scared for us to see that they ARENT a gifmaker and that they dont know how to do it any better either #they dont see us as people doing something we love as a hobby. they see us as content machines that dance like court jesters #im just so fucking tired of the disrespect #and this sentiment goes for more than just gifmakers. graphicmakers. artists. literally any creative hobby shared on this site #we get treated like shit and for what? literally for fucking what.

Cain and abel sealed the fate of all siblings in history

#fgo #fate grand order #karna #arjuna #having a hard time remembering how normal sibling interactions were bc mine were an outlier and shouldn't be counted (i think) #other than sharing the house with people i literally wanted dead and genuinely not caring about them even though we grew up together #dont worry the feeling was mutual for all of us. we all hated eachother a lot. like a worrying amount of a lot. #'i slept with a knife under my pillow just in case' levels of a lot. dysfunctional families am i right #oversharing aside i just find those memes funny

please tell me people are joking when they say sonic prime is queerbaiting with sonic and shadow. that is not whats going on here please be serious you guys just see sonic and shadow interact in any way and become unable to turn your shipping brains off

#and even if it is a joke its still kinda annoying because people get the definition wrong all the time and this sort of thing isnt helping #queerbaiting is when they On Purpose hint at characters being gay just to appeal to gay viewers with no intention of making it official #NOT ''these characters read as gay to me but thats not what the writers were actually going for'' #NOT ''my favorite ship didnt become canon'' #(whatever happened to just liking a ship without expecting for it to become canon anyway) #you can think sonic and shadow are gay if you want to i literally do not care #unlike most other sonic and shadow interactions i can definitely see why people think some of their scenes in sonic prime are gay #but i highly doubt the writers were intentionally trying to hint that theyre in love like . come on. #nothing they do is inherently romantic whatsoever some of the sonic and shadow moments that get labelled as gay #are things sonic does with his other friends too and people dont freak out nearly as much in those cases #why is it always the so/nadow obsessed people who are annoying about this stuff #like sonic and knuckles are gay as hell but i never see people accuse sega of queerbaiting with them

my last post got me thinking so im gonna do a poll to see what u guys think

id love to do a second poll like this on twitter and compare the results. they’d probably be very different from what i’m predicting the response to be here But also twitter is a notorious hellscape and im not setting foot in there. also theres a typo in that last option we isn’t supposed to be there.

EDIT: some clarification bc my wording may have been a little confusing: if two characters are not related in canon, but their voice actors are related in real life, would it be weird to ship the characters?

#not making this rebloggable in case it breaks containment or something #last thing i want is this blowing up my notifications #personally i’d feel weird about it #like nobodys Really doing anything wrong but at the same time #what if their voice actors found out and it made them uncomfortable ? #i know ed helms told oncest shippers to get help LMAO #but thats different #i guess i just border on not really caring i dont really ship characters in general so it wouldnt affect me #but yea i’d still feel weird about it Personally #wouldnt speak out against it but i wouldnt really encourage or interact w that stuff #just bc it has the potential to affect those hypothetical voice actors #dunno. what do u guys think? #maybe not wise of me to try 2 have a discussion like this on here But i have faith that u guys will stay decent #idk. if it starts to get crazy ill delete this post

I've found that, when interacting with others (or myself), it's useful to consider the lessons I'd want to teach a growing child.

If a child makes a mistake, I wouldn't want them to feel shame. I wouldn't yell at them, humiliate them, or in any way indicate to them that their mistake is a reflection of their worth or of who they are as a person.

Instead, I'd want them to associate the process with love and joy. If they say something that hurts someone's feelings, or otherwise ostracizes someone in some way, I'd compassionately explain to them. Ideally, they'd walk away knowing why they said / did it in the first place, how to handle similar situations in the future, and would accept the consequences (e.g. if a friend no longer wanted to hang out with them).

While the consequences may sometimes be painful, I'd do my best to instill in them that mistakes are human and natural, and that the process of learning from these mistakes is an opportunity to improve connections with others and express love.

I have a tendency towards excessive guilt. Memories in which I've said / done something ignorant or hurtful are infused with this guilt and shame- but ideally, I'd feel a sense of love and peace, and perhaps happiness, when looking back on them. Because they were moments of growth, moments I learned how to be more compassionate (even if the actual learning came years later).

So I'll put this out into the void:

When you make a mistake, that is not a reflection of you as a person. It is a moment in time, a moment which was informed by your past experiences. Humans are not static labels, or monsters in an RPG game. We are social creatures who live and learn and react and grow and experience and love. Be gentle with yourself and move forward knowing you're doing so in accordance with your values.

#parenting #internet culture #self compassion #i'd also want to teach them critical thought of course - there are varying ideas of what constitutes mistakes or ignorance or harm #and that's a messy subject which is often a challenge to teach and is beyond the scope of this post but it's important #to avoid being subject to manipulation or becoming reactionary #but anyways #to clarify something in the tags here: it's okay of course to feel bad. that's a normal response. but it's not necessary. and a culture of #shaming people for their mistakes isn't helpful in the same ways it isn't helpful to do that to a child. people become defensive and/or #self-hating. divisive and reactionary and more easily manipulated. fearful and ashamed and avoidant. afraid of disagreements or of trying #anything new. increased all-or-nothing thinking and blowing things out of proportion. it just doesn't help in the long run #sometimes when someone says something i want to express hatred and mockery towards; i think of my trans friend who's full of light and love #and compassion. who came from a smaller more conservative community and used to have some of those same stances (and may still hold some of #those feelings/anxieties). and i remember that i can be firm on my boundaries and spread love and acceptance and safety *without* spewing #vitriol at anyone who makes even a minor mistake. i want people who were impacted by oppression and bias to have space to grow and #find safe communities and be able to think for themselves. i dont want to push them away or be another person in their life screaming at #them. there's always a person behind the screen. #like that doesnt mean i have to interact with them. in fact in most cases it's better to step away. and there are still unsafe people out #there- but yelling at them won't do any good either. saw a tip to focus on the people you want to help rather than the opposition #and that's been super helpful for me

guys what if i want to make my own apollo justice game.

#i need to write a prequel to aa4 pls pls pls pls pls #okay get this: so phoenix isnt disbarred yet and he doesnt have trucy. hes still taking and winning cases #one day he gets a call from edgeworth and hes all like ''wright i need your assistance'' and hes like what for and edgeworth goes #''ive been given the most ridiculous case and i think youre the only man in law who can take care of it'' #so phoenix bikes his ass to the detention center and boom. child behind bars #and phoenix is like ??? hey kid what are doing here. and this kid is the most surly mfer on the planet like you couldnt get- #-a word out of him if you tried. hes kinda giving phoenix the stink eye too but hes just the littlest guy on earth #and phoenix feels bad for him so he tries to get a rundown of the case (maybe edgeworth gave him an autopsy report or smth beforehand) #but get this. the kid still wont speak. he hasnt even moved a muscle. and after some prodding you find out this little dude- #-doesnt speak english (i dont love aa6 but i think apollos tragic backstory can be interesting so we're going w that but taking it seriousl #anyways so maya is like omg this kid is speaking khurainese but hers is kinda broken bc shes not from the mainland and only knows it- #-from like prayers #so you only get bits and pieces of the kids testimony. plus he still doesnt wanna talk bc ''dhurk told me not to talk to you'' #so you start following the new lead but you ask too many questions and apollos like oh shit i said too much and wont talk to you anymore #but now you have two leads: khur'ain and a man named ''dhurk'' plus the fact that this is kid might be new to america since- #-he cant speak english but is smack dab in the middle of california. its all v curious and phoenix wants to get to the bottom of it #for the rest of the case i feel like it would go in the direction of ''we dont know exactly whats up w this dhurk guy or where this kid- #-came from but we do get him acquitted and phoenix is able to save him from the dark path he was heading towards'' thus steering apollo- #-in the direction of law and giving him a wayyyy better reason than aa6 gave him <3 #i kind of like the interlinked nature of ace attorney's storytelling. like everything leads into smth else and everyone is impacted- #-by another person before they even become properly entangled w each other's lives #like how mia faced dahlia years before she met phoenix but dahlia was the one to connect them #or how trucy gave phoenix the diary paper but she's also the one who ropes apollo into the waa. even before they know they're siblings #or how lamoire left apollo and trucy as children and when they reunite as adults they cant recognise each other but they all find each- #-other anyways #i could go on but i think this could be cool yknow esp bc i think the most interesting thing about apollo's aa6 backstory is his life- #-post dhurk. like where did he stay? was he a foster kid? was he put into the system? how did that affect him? what kind of ppl took him in #i just wanna know how that whole thing would have effected him bc like when yiu think about it how did he even get to america?? his dad's #-considered a terrorist. idk man i think its interesting and apollo and dhurks interactions are one of the only good parts of aa6

literally refusing to long rest so i dont trigger orin's infiltration scene so i dont have to rush killing gortash and her 😩

#im pretty fucked because i checked this like 5-6 times for me the kidnapping happens exactly 2 long rests after i spoke to gortash no matter #i mean the astarion quest camp scene still played out as it should because i only long rested once after talking to gortash #but i long rested again just in case to check and the kidnapping triggers all the same #it just seems the romance scene overrides the kidnapping scene but the kidnapping still happens the next night then #bbleas e i just dont want to kill/confront them yet 😭 #i'd consider doing an evil run just to be able to interact with them more (only possible as durge i suppose?) i just think they're neat👉👈😳 #and overall i dont like the game rushing me like i havent done that much sidequests/companion quests let me breathee #i took too much time reading about astarion today tho than actually playingbckcmcm 🙈 #bg3 spoilers

I'm a teacher and this summer I'm working afternoon summer school at a building that's known for not having enough parking. People will park along the side of the driveway or in other non-spots that aren't in the way when the proper parking spots fill up. There's also ample street parking behind the school.

There are 3 disabled spots and I believe a total 2 loading zones between the spots. For the past two weeks someone has either parked in the loading zone, or 2 of the 3 spots have been taken by someone without a placard or disabled plates. We have at least 3 people working in the building who are disabled and have parking placards but we don't get to park in those spots because they're constantly taken.

I get that you might not want to park farther away or whatever. But that spot is reserved for people who need it. And yes I know not everyone can get a placard or plates and these people might be disabled. I only recently was able to get mine despite being disabled for years. But never once did I park in the disabled spots that I didn't have a placard for. Never did I dream of parking in the loading zone that might be necessary for someone to get in or out of their car.

Today I drove in and saw that once again the three spots were taken, and I recognized two of the cars as the repeat offenders who don't have placards. I stopped in front of the spots to reevaluate where to park, when an older Black man got out of his truck in the third spot and came over to ask if I wanted his spot. When he recognized that I'm the person with the cane he immediately was like "I'll move it's no problem" even though he did have a parking placard. I'm so grateful that he did that. And I hope I see him again today so I can properly express that to him. But he shouldn't have had to do that. We should have both been able to park in the accessible spots. This isn't an instance of lack of accessibility but of (almost certainly) ablebodied people being inconsiderate and ableist and taking up a limited resource set aside to help disabled people.

Don't park in the disabled spots if you don't have a parking placard/plates (or whatever it is outside the US). DONT park in the loading zones! If I had brought my wheelchair to work and someone was parked in the loading zone I wouldn't have been able to get it out of my car. I don't care if no one ever parks there and they're always empty and you think you aren't harming anyone. I don't care if you don't understand why we need them or need so many or need loading zones or whatever. Its common fucking courtesy to not be an ableist asshole.

#host #disabled #cripple punk #cripplepunk #disability #vent #rant #for those who are going to tell me i should do XYZ i already have #i told administrators and theyve apparently made announcements #i left a note on one of the cars and they actually didnt park there today #so many that actually helped #i refuse to call the cops to report them #this community and the staff who work here are majority POC and working class people #i dont want to endanger anyone by forcing them to interact with cops #even if that wasn't the case ACAB #i just want them to stop parking there so myself and this guy dont have to pick which one of us has to suffer each day

i went on the date...

#hahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA #so we got to the coffee shop for 3 oclock and stayed until close... #which was 2 and a half whole hours later #and there wasnt a single awkward silence like he literally made a joke at the end being like 'i cant believe we weren't awkward once' #he want me fr #idk if i fancy him??? like he's definitely fit and i think worst case scenario i can see us getting along really well as friends #which isnt a bad worst case scenario to be in #but like also im someone that needs to know someone well to even consider them romantically #which is... definitely a thing but i dont feel the need to label it #and i kinda said that to him bc i didnt want him getting the wrong imrpession that this was gonna be a magical spontaneous Thing #like no king every single thing is going to be intentional and deeply analysed the moment im alone #so i can critique my behaviour and every vulnerability i might have shown until i warp the entire interaction into something monsterous #like yes that's gonna take time LMAO i genuinely dont think im capable of just falling in love #i will calmly step into love after thoroughly reviewing the situation thanks <3 #BUT YEAH BASICALLY IT WENT REALLY FUCKING WELL AND WE'RE SEEING EACH OTHER AGAIN WHEN WE COME BACK FROM BREAK #hella goes to uni

[bitterseadrop-a]

y'all if you wanna unfollow me ?? or i follow first and you don't want to interact ?? for literally whatever reason ?? that's totally fine.

only thing i ask is that you hardblock me, especially if it's a follow first from my side. i understand if you don't want to interact, you're entitled to curate your dash to your own needs. but i don't wanna stand here like an idiot or seem obnoxious by following again after i've already been soft-blocked, because 9/10 i won't remember if i've followed you before.

and if you have hardblocked me and change your mind one day, wanting to interact ?? i'm cool with that as well. i won't ask questions. heck even if you shouldn't be feeling any interactions at the moment but want to interact at a later point, you're free to shoot me a dm or just follow back 5 years down the line.

#psa tbt. #it just frustrates me especially because tumblr is a 100% functioning website #i've had people reach out to me through mutual friends bc they thought i had softblocked them #and i usually don't cut anyone out out of nowhere if we've been friends/talking for a reasonable amount of time #because like i'd be confused and would want to know what happened in that case as well??? #turns out it was just tumblr back at it again! #anyway yeah. my problem is usually w blogs i've seen before and been interested in interacting with #but sometimes i just don't follow at that point of time bc i feel too overwhelmed #so when i'm stumbling across those blogs again i'm just sitting there like a clown #wondering if i already got rejected or haven't even reached out yet #AND U KNOW ITS FINE. we cant/dont want to interact with everyone. #but yeah this is just me being silly but i kinda wanted to put this out there #if u read this whole thing ur a champ #probably lol

whats your favorite half life creature

I LOVE THE ANTLIONS SO MUCH theyre so goofy lookin and i think theyre really cute tbh. their sound effects are so good too they just buzz around and screech a bit. whenever i play nova prospekt i treat them like my children they are so goddamn cute. also i for some reason love the fucked up fact that their back legs are their front ones and their front legs are there back ones? like look at em theyre so funky. whats up with them i love them so

houndeyes are probably a favorite too, i remember i once saw on a video analysis of houndeye behaviour i think it was? that someone's headcanon for them was that they aren't inherently hostile, but they just get so excited and unfortunately the sonic pulses they release as energy hurt the player. theyre just little space dogs and theyre really happy and theyre just so excited :( i wanna hold one also also also probably snarks, though maybe to a lesser degree? i think i moreso like how gordon plays with them as an idle animation in both hl1 and the black mesa remake LOL but theyre still super cute.

stupid round thing i love it so fucking much. handheld idiot.

#hl2 #half life 2 #marrsbarrs talk #antlion #houndeye #snark #ALSO if you count it vortigaunts are a SUPER favorite. i love those guys #the way they speak is so interesting to dissect and i love seeing and interacting with them in game #and the way theyre animated.... ooh #like the way the half life alyx vortigaunts are animated is fucking STUNNING #i love the one scene of the vortigaunt jumping up onto the roof of a combine structure in hla #its so cool to see how they move and walk and just function just RAAAAAH im such a sucker for that shit #and i love their accidental humor so much theyre just like me fr #like ofc theres the brain injury bit from hla but like #if you listen to the vortigaunts speak in the outpost just outside of nova prospekt #theyll stop and say sorry we should not speak this language in front of others who do not obtain that power to do so #then they say unless we want to say mean things about you. just in case. ITS SO FUCKING GOOD #i just love them sosososo much theyre just like me fr theyre infj just like me too.... #i could keep going on but i dont want to just dump a thesis statement on you about how i love half life so i'll stop here LOL

[worstloki]

i think natasha and thor have an obligation to set up a playdate between their younger siblings. at least once

#thor and natasha like well my younger stabby sibling DOES need more friends actually #natasha knows yelena is aroace and is like if your bro pulls anything weird yelena will kill him and thor knows loki is aroace #and is like ya same your sister better not be a weirdo #jokes on them now they're forced to awkwardly sit in the living room every time loki and yelena want to meet up #because they can't leave the kids unsupervised in case anything explosive happens #but nat and thor haven't interacted much so for them it's just awkward #the sounds of fun are drifting in from yelena and loki's room they're probably doing their hair and nails or something idk #natasha and thor sitting next to each other stiff as boards like maybe we don't need to meet up every time they do..? so how's the weather? #it's fine the weather is fine i dont think it's a good idea to leave them alone much

wish the little listicles and articles reccomending google alternatives didnt like, mention ios. like no offense but do you think i dont know what an iphone is. you think im looking into google alternatives but i dont know that apple exists? you really think that? if i was going to buy a fucking apple product id already be doing that?

#toy txt post #I think id rather try to brute force my brain to learn fuckinf. idk. coding shit than fuck w apple #idc they say theyre better about privacy lol i dont trust them either #also like lol better about privacy but they out here pioneering in the field of planned obsolescence and im not fucking with that OS sorry #i simply cannot #idk its just like. the article be like 5 NON GOOGLE GPS OPTIONS and i get all excited and its loke heres 4 kind of mediocre pain in the ass #obscure things you can try that require some sort of technical skill to install and have less convenient updated features than google. and #also apple maps. sorry have you heard about The Iphone(tm)? just making sure youre aware of one of the biggest non google tech companies #in case you somehow missed it?? #like. sorry. what?? #anyway. i really hope this goes without saying but this is Not the post for you to rave about How Cool Apple Is and How Much You Love Your #Apple Products and Why I Should Switch To Apple! good for you glad you like your shit make your own post and fuck off! #argh #anyway. currently thinkjng about l #buying another s7 off amazon and 1) making sure it works w my sim card before i do anything 2) fucking around and finding out #w one of those alternative OSs like uhhhh iodé or whatever on either the new s7 OR. my old one. idk. want to see if i can do it and make it #work. im sure itll be a huge pain in the ass and ill freak out and give up partway through or smth #need to look into how that interacts w like? my ohine service if at all? #also want to look into uhhh #trying to reinstall old versions of the samsung camera and gallery/photo editor apps on my newer device maybe just to see if i can pull it #off and have like a fully updated OS without switching to a camera i hate #and it would be cool to have whatever version of the photo editor pro i have on my s7 on my other devices cos it lets me do things i cant do #on these

[larnax]

what i really like so far abt 2 is that they put in a lot more little details. the sprites still have the paper doll thing where sometimes you need to approximate an action thats too complicated to animate but way more stuff DOES have custom animations like particio pulling out a bag or throné doing the little knife flip at the end of battles, and also it seems like the protagonists you havent picked up yet have different dialogue depending on the party leader who talks to them which is great. most importantly though i really like that they have dialogue that react to each other in combat though, like giving them all lines for when specific party members do a good job or are in danger is really sweet

#c.paradisi #octoposting #octo1's weakest point to me was that the party members just did not interact with each other enough #the travel banters were good(i mean. the good ones were.) #but having them talk to each other in battle which you do a lot more of does a much better job selling that these ppl are like. friends #hopefully in octopath 3 they have onscreen gay sex but for now ill take all the girls taking turns telling throné she smells nice #also i dont wanna praise the game too much before i see the clerics route #but hopefully this game wont have the problem where like #if in-character a lot of the ot1 protagonists shouldve fucking hated each other. but theyre not actually allowed to fight #like primrose and alfyn shouldve been at each others' throats. #<- like if u do have characters who have mutually exclusive moral codes thats not bad . but in that case i want to see blood and biting #either i want the characters to make sense as buddies OR i want them to have clashing personalities that actually clash #the best im hoping for from the cleric is that he will be blandly inoffensive #idk if youve picked up on the incredibly subtle undertones but i was not a fan of ophilia #ideally he would be actively terrible and so a bunch of characters would have interesting conflicts with him #BUT i will settle for him just being There and not much else

[lesbiten]

no im not done ranting i have a single complaint towards the fandom and its why did st3ddie ever become a mainstream ship you people arent watching the same show

#THEY DONT EVEN INTERACT THEY HAVE LIKE 2 CONVERSATIONS AND THEYRE NOT REMOTELY ROMANTICALLY CHARGED #ITS SO CLEARLY JUST A CASE OF 'FANDOM WANTS MLM SHIP' ITS INSANE #THEY DONT EVEN GO TOGETHER. IN ANY SENSE. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE SEE IN THEM #now i WILL say that brenner and owens have the funniest 'divorced but never married' dynamic ever #them disagreeing on everything constantly is hilarious and i hope they kill each other #but st3ddie is so bad its so bottom of the barrel i dont get it #simon says

[kindaorangey]

watched jubilation. that was really good apart from the final scene bc how the fuck did they acknowledge that they both saw the same fantasy without either of them making assumptions about ladybug's feelings for chat.

#thunder rambles #ml spoilers #RUSHED!!!! ITS TOO RUSHED!!!!!!! #there was that lovely little throughline of marinette getting on socqueline's case bc she doesnt think anyone would choose the #burden of being ladybug if they Really Knew #which is because shes depriving herself of what she wants (namely to date someone) #and so she sees all that stuff in the gift fantasy. surely it would be hard for her to go through that? to have a romantic partner and #a full life with them #only to have it be taken away? #like obvs thats heartbreaking for chat as well its just #with the context of marinette's place in the episode she should come away from that hardly able to admit to even herself that she might #want a relationship with chat #and so i dont get why they both seem to be on the same page about having experienced the same fantasy?? #the ladybug i know would lie her ass off about that #and yeah maybe there was no denying it since they both interacted as their Real Selves in the final bit of the fantasy #but. still. dude. #also as an eternal sunshine enjoyer i do believe your memory of a person is capable of waking you up from a dreamed reality #so yanno #but yea that last scene hit weird #also what the fuck was up with the babies😐
