#responding to texts!!!

[boomerang109]

no because i get so stuck on how endless everything feels, how life is so long and these horrible habits i have now are part of my life story forever but

life is so long. every little good choice i make will add up. i don’t have to fix everything today, it can take time

#idk if it’s the capitalism or the time blindness or what but there’s very much an innate must be doing must be fixing must be winning #and like. it doesn’t work for me. it doesn’t help me #i just need to take my steps slowly and let progress come with me #the big picture doesn’t have to be so scary #this is literally just cause I went ‘i keep being so overwhelmed by how many relatives I want to call and calling no one. if I just break it #down and call one person a day (a) that’s better but (b) I’ll actually get to everybody eventually rather than not talking to anyone #i really want to just become someone who talks to people #like. the glue in my family if you will #like I want to just be like. hi aunt so and so. yes it is weird I’m calling you. but we haven’t talked in forever and I wanted to know how #you are. okay great ten minute conversation im gonna call you again in two weeks #and then whenever I’m with family and they’re like ‘what’s so and so up to’ I’ll actually know #cause I’ll talk to people. that’s the kind of person I want to be #and the only thing stopping me from being that person is me #yes my family doesn’t do that and it will be weird and awkward and. painful at first #but if I kept at it. think of all the lovely relationships I could build #also need to dedicate more time to my friendships!!! #responding to texts!!! #but like it’s hard #i need my adhd meds for any of these things to be more than just plans #but I have a doctors appointment in two days #and I won’t even be out of other meds yet 😎

no offense but you guys need to learn the difference between someone implying their experience is universal and a post simply just not being about you

#i’ve seen people respond to my personal posts venting about my own experiences and say that it’s ‘not universal’ or ‘needs more nuance’ #like??? no it doesn’t ?? it’s a vent #i don’t need to pass it through peer review #text post #10k #top posts #15k #20k #25k #30k #40k #50k #60k #80k

big big big fan of found family relationships with shithead sibling dynamics

sure, yeah, they had no one in the world until they found each other, and they will fight tooth and nail for each other's safety, but they will also eat the last of the other's cereal and put the box back in the cabinet or tell the other's significant other every embarrassing story about them or greet each other by means of full body tackle and chokehold

#ragsycon exclusive #mark and pip have this dynamic and it gives me so much joy #she gives him so much shit for being awkward and painfully uncool but she will not hesitate to stab someone for being mean to him #he's focusing on something & doesn't hear her come in the room and she slaps him on the shoulder which startles him so badly he alert barks #which he is instantly mortified by the fact that he just literally actually barked and goes 'please don't tell anyone that happened' #to which pip responds by showing him her phone screen where she has just texted literally everyone that this just happened #...... #hall of fame

2 kinds of grad students (both massive nerds)

#id in alt text #avatar the last airbender #atla #sokka #zuko #zukka #<- seems like i may as well tag it. considering #sokkaxzuko #(secretly this is sokkaxsuki tho. just look at sokka’s hoodie) #modern au #art #mart #if you’re wondering why there’s only one pile of graded papers it’s because sokka saved that paper for last #bc the handwriting was so illegible #(and zuko is responding even tho sokka isn’t talking abt his work bc he’s touchy. bc he knows he isn’t ocean vuong) #also before anyone’s like ‘shouldn’t sokka be the one writing poetry?’ YES sokka also writes poetry but it’s like. #silly little rhyming poems #he would never do an mfa art is a hobby to him and he thinks getting a degree in it is a waste of time #but he doesn’t tell this to zuko bc zuko wasted so much time suffering in undergrad trying to pursue a ‘respectable’ degree #so sokka’s just like ‘okay. well he deserves this’

Felt a bit nostalgic watching RT shut down…Here are the og faves again for old times sake 💙

#rvb #agent washington #agent Carolina #lavernius tucker #michael j caboose #epsilon #my art rvb #ahhh a lot of feelings…of course I stepped away from rt as a company a long time ago #but RvB is special to me!! it was my first fandom experience ever #and the community here on tumblr specifically was so instrumental to me growing up #I really could not have asked for a better community of artists and writers to grow up in. I know it sounds like platitudes when I say #that everyone was super nice and talented but REALLY. People were so kind to me and somehow I became well known despite #my art and writing and me in general still being immature and hashtag cringe #I found my creative legs and #people would respond to my stuff with walls and walls of support in the tags and we would do exchanges and events every year #I made my first lyric comic and it’s still doing extremely well on YouTube even today!! my dad who passed away recently always loved it #and my favorite RvB writer came out of hibernation to write me a bunch of text wall asks about it #I’ve never had another fandom experience quite like RvB #I still keep in touch with many of my friends from that time period even though we’ve all moved on the other things #these guys will always always have a place in my heart #so long reds and blues….

one of the fundamental mistakes serano and a lot of others make involves the following line of reasoning:

1. some people have dysphoric other-gender embodiment-desires (e.g. for different genitals) before they acquire an understanding of gender-sex associations or even that there are genitals other than their own

2. if gender is totally socially constructed, as the social constructionists say, then these embodiment-desires would not be possible in such a state of ignorance

3. modus tollens the social constructionists are wrong and there must be some innate gender-desire

this is often accompanied by the following:

1. if social constructionism is right, then the abolition of gender would mean the elimination of dysphoric embodiment-desires

2. the state of knowledge prior to acquiring gender-sex knowledge is analogous to the state of affairs under gender abolition

3. in that state some people still have dysphoric embodiment-desires

4. modus tollens the social constructionists are wrong

these arguments are often defensive, to be fair—the first premise of the latter argument is unfortunately made by certain social constructionists too, steamrolling those early childhood experiences. but in both cases there is a circular mistake happening. the dysphoric embodiment-desires can precede gender-sex knowledge specifically because they are separable from it. penis-dysphoria in young childhood can only be called gender dysphoria if we assume the very gender-sex epistemic constructions we have agreed not to take for granted! and the former dysphoria may well persist in the absence of the latter constructions. this is what people say when they talk about a (utopian, perhaps, but nonetheless coherent and logically possible) gender abolitionist future where people can have whatever procedures they desire done. the embodiment-desires are still there! they are just freed from gender-sex associations.

like, for being largely a plot device character, Raphael presents some interesting characterization. only on a second run-through, after knowing more about him, do you start to realize how profoundly insecure Raphael is and how frequently he gives that away.

in his very first meeting with you, he constantly refers to himself as a 'devil'. he's not a devil. he's a cambion. which is a distinct category of its own and, power-wise, so inconsequential that they're not even considered a part of the devil hierarchy. this means that whatever power and prestige he does have (if he even has any, because the game doesn't really go into devil politics), he only has because his father is Mephistopheles. and he hates his father. yet he also can't help but embody a lesser version of his father. that same theatricality, same princely demeanour, same hoarding of treasures. even his 'red, horns, and wings' form is exactly like Mephistopheles's chosen form. he seems to hate his father because he makes him feel small, yet also undeniably looks up to his father because he uses the exact same facade. and once you notice this, so much of what Raphael does seems incredibly childish. He so desperately wants to be something more than Mephistopheles's cringefail son but can't stop centring his dad in everything that he does.

what a horribly human trait to have.

#bg3 #raphael bg3 #thinking about this because of that one Haarlep line you can get from Speak with Dead #where you ask where Raphael keeps his secrets and Haarlep responds #'hidden behind his vanity' #from Haarlep who knows everything about Raphael? what a lovely double entendre #greg texts

things raph does bc he’s an older sibling

- sometimes he locks them out of the lair while looking directly at them

- sometimes pushes their heads in their shells while walking

- bites them (they get grossed out and try get him back)

- gives the most annoying kisses on their head, like brings them in hugs and just SMOOOCH and they’re always like RAPH- RAPH STOP

- if they’ve done something to piss him off- he runs to chase them and does three specific things depending on which brother it is

- he corners mikey and laughs at him screaming when he moves from side to side really quick

- if it’s donnie he uses his ninpo and makes clones of himself to stop him

- if it’s leo he’s gonna shove whatever the slider’s hiding behind towards him to further corner him

- “im older so i’m right”

- “you always took the smaller pieces when we were tots, it was really sweet”

“actually raph had like several before i shared them w you guys”

“you what”

- takes the most atrocious bites of their food when he asks for a share- EVEN AFTER THEYVE TOLD HIM TO GET A LITTLE BIT

- leans on them randomly, fully knowing they’re gonna fall

- if u agree w the rest of the fandom w him having a long tail, he sometimes hits them w it and says it’s an accident

- holding shit out of their reach

- as an extension of the other thing, he also just puts things on higher shelves when he sees the others struggling to get something

- if they’re on the floor he knocks them over while passing by

- burping and directing it at one of them. does not matter who, they always get disgusted and it’s the funniest shit to him

#text post #rottmnt #rise raph #rise donnie #rise leo #rise mikey #i responded to a tweet w a bunch of bastard brother raph hcs and they all made me laugh #cos my sister’s done like three of these to me

Dustin posting a Tiktok where the background is a screenshot of his last text conversation with Steve.

Steve sent him a text that says ‘I will destroy you’ followed by a text that says ‘LOL sorry, meant to send that to Eddie.’

Dustin’s just like, “RIP Eddie Munson. I don’t know what you did but start groveling.”

#the bit of text convo you can see above is Steve randomly texting: Remember when you had a crush on Max? #Dustin responded like: Isn’t brain damage supposed to make you forget stuff? #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson #dustin henderson

Thinking abt how so many characters in media who canonically state that they don't like people touching them constantly have their boundaries broken and are forced into hugs by other characters and every single time they are shown to be upset it's supposed to be a flaw that they need to overcome until they just are forced to accept/like it.

#text #touch averse #no wonder ppl assume the same of real ppl #everyone wants to think of themselves as the acception as the one who will fix you and make you like hugs #i hate that. i hate you media who have characters with touch aversion as a flaw #we need more characters who are just touch averse and people accept that #no acceptions no 'growth' no 'fixing them' or 'making them love hugs' nothing. #only thought abt this becuz im rewatching kipo and it bugs me so much that wolf tells kipo to not hug or touch her #and kip just responds with 'deal with it' and then later on wolf is suddenly fine with hugging and repeats kipos line #it feels so wrong because it was a blatant disrespect of boundaries that was played off as a good thing

I love that people in my notes are calling Neil Gaiman a “random Jewish celebrity” that I’m baselessly attacking, as though: 1) “Israel has the right to exist” is not textbook Zionism; 2) he was not married to Amanda Palmer when she performed in Israel (in spite of calls for her not to do so); and, 3) he isn’t a wildly successful author and artist that this website worships

There are plenty of Jewish celebrities who give me no reason to think about their stance on Zionism! There are plenty of gentile celebrities who do! Get a grip!

#maybe I’ll respond directly to those people at some point #but right now I’m tired #Neil Gaiman #Amanda Palmer #Zionism is still Zionism if you’re not an extremist about it #antisemitism tw #text heavy
