"aphobia doesn't exist"

bitch literally not that long ago an aroace youtuber animator was insulted by almost half of its community for being it

#i did some research about it and found out that the problem was principally that she had previous experience in the romantic area #so people just didn't take her seriously and said she was lying #even though she stated multiple times that she wasn't comfortable in those situations #now things are more calmed but damn #mind your own bussiness #i believe she knows more about herself than you #sorry if i offended you with this comment but i hate how aro/ace/aroace people are always left behind #insulted and rejected because they “dont know what they are talking about” #or because they “just have to wait for the right person” #or because they are “psychopaths and they are missing something” #i love that animator and she helped me realise a lot about myself #and now that i know the context i think i will start making a list and killing aphobes one by one #aromantic #arospec #asexual #aroace #acespec

Like, how can thousands of people on this hellsite be like “yeah, don’t be antisemitic! Antisemitism is bad! Don’t say [insert the most blatantly antisemitic statement ever]! Instead, say [insert the SECOND-most blatantly antisemitic statement ever]!”

I don’t use this term lightly, but I feel like I’m being gaslit???? Like, did I read that post wrong??? I don’t think so, but how can so many people, including the person I follow who put this on my dash (and whom I’ve been following for a long time and until now I respected), be this fucking stupid???

#the jewish experience tag #antisemitism #like seriously did i read that wrong??? am i going insane? #100plustxt #500plustxt

The Rosier twins are the best at telling lies. Him and Pandora could have you doubting your entire existence if they wanted to. One time I think they halfway convinced Barty that Pandora was actually adopted, and it was only “halfway” because they were just joking and therefore not trying very hard to be convincing. Barty felt kind of dumb after that, though, because they look pretty much the exact the same even though they’re fraternal.

#did I base this off of my own experience with me and my twin sister? yes #seriously though it was hilarious because we weren’t even trying hard at all to convince our one friend #because we’re literally identical and so we didn’t think it would work #and yet we’re both good enough at being convincing that when we told her that #she believed us for a solid minute before we told her we were joking 💀 #good times #rosekiller #evan rosier #pandora rosier #barty crouch jr #slytherin skittles

Lord, give me strength. The PJO discourse has begun, and no one starting it has read the books in the last five years.

#guys I just reread them a month ago; I promise that you are misremembering 90% of the og series. (I did too. it’s called passage of time.) #seriously please reread them before criticizing the show or just don’t criticize it at all. #unless you’re criticizing how it stands on its own instead of how accurate it is to the books. #I mean this in the kindest most gentle way possible because you guys are ruining what could be a great experience for yourselves #I’m over here vibing; don’t y’all wanna be vibing? vibe with me #edit: I invite y’all to rewatch the movies too actually because I keep seeing people act like the movies were better than they were. #like guys…that shit was a special kind of ass. don’t pretend it’s more true to source material (especially character wise and theme wise) #just because the show isn’t what you specifically wanted it to be. #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #percy jackson #pjo adaptation #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #percy jackson disney+ #rick riordan #percy jackson series #the lightning thief

I PROMISE IM NOT IGNORING U) #i also have another wip i havent touched with loving the harbingers when they weren't in the fatui yet #no like seriously i think churning out 50k words did something to my writing state 💀🙏 #a snippet from dottores part: Il Dottore’s strength was nearly unmatched in the Fatui being the Second Fatui Harbinger and all. #what most people do not know is that he was… certainly not the best fighter during his Akademiya days. #A claymore was also out of the question - he grumbled when he had to lug his numerous research materials and parts to the desert… #In the end you settled on teaching Zandik the basics of a sword. do with this as you will... #however i am still so proud of myself for fabulam diu oblitus #i was rereading in class bc i was bored and i was like #damn i kinda ate with this #thanks for listening to smooches mini writing life crisis if u made it here #okay i go sleep now... i have midterms this week #OMFG THESE TAGS R SO LONG IM SO SORRY

Sometimes I think about how wild tawnypelt was as a character

Local girl who looks nothing like her father goes to join her exiled murderous fathers bloody dictatorship because she was being compared to him while her brother who is identical to him doesnt, she witnesses her father’s regime do public executions and multiple war crimes, never really ever comes out against him or mentions regret for leaving or fear at any of this, named her son after him after he died and supposedly rejected him in her dreams, none of this is really connected at all and she does nothing of relevance ever

#like what the fuck is up with tawnypelt #warrior cats #warriors #warrior cat #warrior #tawnypelt #it’s five am this isn’t coherent but seriously what’s wrong with her #but like genuinely they set up 2 million questions and plot points around her and then proceeded to forget she existed for 50 books #I am begging for a tawnypelt superedition what the fuck was this experience of running away to join your fathers mass murder regime #like did she see the bone throne pile and be like ‘hm maybe this was a bad choice’

danganronpa rarepair week 2023 DAY SIX: pride/postcard feat: makoto/kokichi

for day six, i decided to go with a more, like, "we may not be very compatible as people/classmates, but we do share that familiar experience of figuring out who we are" kind of theme with my personal headcanon(s) for these two. like an uplifting "you're not alone in this" type of vibe?? yknow what i mean? lmao happy pride month! ✌🏼

#back at it with the sudden naeouma i guess what da hell :0 #dr rarepair week 2023 #naeouma #makoto naegi #kokichi ouma #these are just MY personal headcanons for these two! if you have differing headcanons thats a-okay! dont take mine too seriously! 👋🏼 yay! #they feel quite tame compared to how ive seen other ppl draw/perceive them lol but like im Cis™ #so i dont have much personal experience to work off of i guess but regardless!! i continue to learn and listen from others!! #danganronpa #ari art #i did want to add a third pic of them with top surgery scars + some dialogue tbh.... perhaps next time :)c

i know chase obviously wins the religious trauma competition but can we please talk about how foreman was not only raised by a deeply religious father, but was most likely raised BAPTIST. no wonder he’s so repressed. the baptist experience is like. you’re in church every sunday listening to a man scream about how love is something that should hurt. you believe in a good, loving god - but to believe, you have to accept that true love is painful. that to be a good person, you must suffer. to love is to endure it, to work mercilessly. you’re not worthy of the love of The Almighty, and you never will be, and that sense of unworthiness is fundamental to having faith. when you sin, you don’t just hurt Him, you hurt everyone around you. you make the world worse because you have dared commit the sin of existence — to be human is to be sinful. to be loved is to feel unworthy and pathetic and hopeless. like YEAH no wonder foreman self isolates and is emotionally closed off. he was taught from BIRTH that he is fundamentally unworthy of love, and that in accepting love, he is also accepting that he truly is worthless.

#also #i really cant stress enough to non-americans that foreman being black would seriously have had an impact on his relationship with religion #christian ideals are baked into the way racial justice is thought about in the blm movement of today #christianity is also by and large more significant to black americans than it is to white americans because of this #because race and religion are really intertwined #and idk its not. the MOST important aspect of foreman’s character or anything #but i think it’s a lot harder to Get him if u don’t have that cultural knowledge which most americans will inherently understand #also disclaimer im not black. never been to a black church so obviously i cant speak to that experience #however i did go to a baptist school growing up and they REALLY emphasized that i should be ashamed of being alive #obviously this is all me theorizing bc foreman could be some other flavor of protestantism #they’re all varying levels of traumatic tbh #if he was episcopal he probably was listening to people speaking tongues in church which just. yeah. that also really fucks u up #house md #eric foreman #house md hc #house md headcanon #dr foreman

This has nothing to do with SW, I just felt like saying it:

I feel like a lot of us on this site probably could identify a specific book or series we read as children or teenagers that impacted us more than any other. It's the book/series that disproportionately shaped our senses of what a book or a genre could be and changed us in some fundamental way beyond the reach of every other book we were reading at the time. People joke these days about books or other media that "alter your brain chemistry," but this book honestly did feel like that.

Maybe this isn't everyone, but it was definitely something that happened to me as a kid. I still own the same copy of the book that did this for me. I've hung onto it for over 20 years, partly because I still love the story, and partly because I have such a strong sentimental attachment to my particular paperback copy of a book that blew open my sense of what a fantasy story could be and what ideas it could engage with.

It not only made me want to read the next book in its series, it made me want to write books myself and imagine my own worlds beyond my hobby of writing little sketches and stories for myself. I previously had no intention of showing those scraps to anyone else, but this book made me want to write fantasy seriously, to write things I might some day show other people without being embarrassed about it. And the book not only inspired me to want this, but convinced me I could do it. I started writing creatively in earnest and I never stopped.

It wasn't any of the books I usually talk about, either. Here's what it was for me:

[Photographs of a paperback copy of Diane Duane's High Wizardry from around 2001]

I've been thinking of what fantasy favorites I'll re-read after I drag myself through what remains of my dissertation and ... honestly, it will probably be High Wizardry.

#i loved 'so you want to be a wizard' and 'deep wizardry' but 'high wizardry' just. rearranged my entire concept of what was possible #madeleine l'engle was the closest experience but even that did not light up my brain in the same way #i would probably not have seriously committed myself to writing without this specific book falling into my hands #(by 'falling into my hands' i mean 'i was chronically ill and isolated and bought them for myself to have something to enjoy' #and boy did i ever. favorite and most formative book of my entire childhood) #anghraine babbles #anghraine's pics #writing #reading #long post #ivory tower blogging

People saying 'everyone loves Hayden Anakin now that he has a good script'....FUCK OFF. The script was never the actual reason the dudebro fanboys hated Anakin in the Prequels. They had already viciously hated on little Ani back in TPM. And not because of so-called 'bad writing', but because he was a cute, precocious little kid and they couldn't stand that being associated with their beloved 'badass' Vader. And likewise, they IMMEDIATELY decided to hate Anakin in AotC when Hayden was cast because he was a pretty boy instead of whatever headcanon they wanted for him. They resented Anakin in the Prequels because he was first depicted as a sweet and caring child who loved his mother, and then later because he was an emotionally vulnerable young man who had a romantic storyline and was motivated by love and his fear of losing those he loved. The fanboys hated Prequels Anakin because he wasn't Vader. They wanted Vader. They have always worshipped Vader. THAT is the reason. Not the script. Seriously, there are so many older male fans who are STILL bitter over a 'pretty boy' playing Anakin. Stop blaming the script for everything. The Prequel films and Hayden Anakin were only thought to be universally 'hated' due to the fact that the fanboys ruled the internet in those early days, and spread the hate around with no one to counter it. The Prequels are way better films than anything Disney could EVER hope to produce, and it's infuriating that people are acting like the material Disney of all things churns out is somehow the 'reason' people like Hayden Anakin now. No, it's because they've had time to go back and appreciate his role in the Prequels and seen that it's actually a compelling story and his performance is, in fact, good.

#anti-disney #pro-lucas saga #prequels defense squad #seriously gtfo with that bullshit #especially if you weren't THERE and did not experience how the hate ACTUALLY manifested back then #no one cared about the damn script #despite people making fun of 'i don't like sand' it wasn't that big of a deal #the issue was simply that the dudebros decided they hated Lucas' version of Anakin in the Prequels and that was that #they just never opened their minds enough to actually appreciate him #believe it or not Hayden actually respected Lucas' vision for Anakin and for the Prequels #he understood what Lucas was trying to convey #so please kindly FUCK OFF with the Prequels hate

I absolutely LOVE how they reworked the Stranger’s route and design! It’s so much better than anything we saw in the demo! The themes of that chapter cohere so beautifully, and the Princess’ final design is so wonderfully nightmarish that I infinitely prefer it to even the first Stranger design. Abby and Tony really outdid themselves here, I can tell Nichole had a lot of fun doing the voicework for this chapter, and kudos to the sound mixer who handled Johnny’s lines for the part where everything starts happening all at once!

#slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #stp spoilers #the stranger #i was afraid i’d be disappointed but BOY HOWDY did it exceed my expectations! #I don’t want to describe it in detail yet because it really must be seen to be believed #seriously go look it up and watch it for yourself right now if you’re curious #or better yet get the game and experience it firsthand! #you’ll be supporting the dev team that gave us this wonderful story while you’re at it!

I have SO much work to do this week and spent all day in meetings rather than doing any of it. (Boooooo) The meetings were mostly new hire interviews with fresh-from-college hopefuls, and ooof. God, I do NOT miss being that age.

#one candidate came prepared with a power point presentation about the 300 word piece we asked them to write #and the other writer said she didn’t seem prepared for the interview #SIR HOW MUCH MORE PREPARED WOULD YOU LIKE THIS 23 YEAR OLD WITH NO WORK EXPERIENCE TO BE?!?! #no one takes young women seriously #and yes I did VERY much stick up for her in the post-interview discussion

thoughts on michael? always thought people writing him into the lore was a bit too much considering the way beeduo operated

I hate that fuckin thing tbh 😭

#he works better as a pet #that they dress up like a purse dog #idk I hate kids raising kids if it’s not played seriously by everyone involved #it takes away from the realism (I know how insane that sounds but. u know what I mean) #they have not lived thru the experience of raising a child together and thus their roleplay of it kinda. isnt good #I did not buy it
