#seriously you pessimists

[strangeygirl]

Who the fuck decided that the power of love/friendship was a lame cringy trope, I just want to talk (ง'̀-'́)ง

#like seriously #how can you be so pessimistic that you declare the love people have for each other corny and not realistic enough #that the idea that validation appreciation and love can make even the worst situations better makes you cringe #who cares if it gives the character magic powers or something like that it's just fiction #fight me (ง'̀-'́)ง #writeblr #writers on tumblr #writing trope #tropes #power of friendship #power of love #writing

I feel like people forget about this too often, so just a reminder that we are in the second year of UNESCO's International Decade of Indigenous Languages

(Basic info: A decade to prevent the disappearance of 3,000 languages – UNESCO-IESALC)

#indigenous languages are cool #lanugage preservation and revitalization is cool #looking for resources to support indigenous language speakers and communities around you is cool! #seriously tho if you're not an indigenous lanugage speaker #it's always worth seeing if there's people who are educating about/teaching the indigenous language in your area #and if possible taking a couple classes #some people predict that we could loose around 3000 languages before the turn of the century (nearly half of all spoken languages!!!) #more pessimistic data projections says that it's possible to loose 90% of spoken languages by 2100 #and most would be indigenous #not to be a language nerd on main but this is literally terrifying and we should be doing everything to stop it #language #linguistics #langblr

I think a lot about how one of tpn's leading themes was “in another world, you and me could have been friends (we'll fight for that world together)” and how bsd literally went “this magic book has the power to tell me there's literally no universe where you and me could be happy together”

#When I first read it I was like. *giggles* what the fuck #Seriously like? Maybe you could find a world you could be happy together if you just. #stopped killing people and opened a coffee shop together or something idk #Anyways please please give tpn a shot it's so worth it #bsd #bungou stray dogs #bsd beast #mine #q. #10/09/22 #Edit: For a fun coincidence of events these days I've been talking a lot with my cousin about how bsd's fundamentally nihilistic worldviews #and pessimistic perception of man opposite to tpn's intrinsically socialist message that all humans are inherently good- #is the main reason why I won't ever be able to enjoy bsd as much as I loved and still love tpn. It's sad‚ in a way. I miss tpn.

i can lead u into a bedroom at a party but can i lead u to my discord

from what i’ve heard i think they’re pretty similar experiences anyway

#i’m assuming you meant you *can’t* lead me into a bedroom at a party which is just pessimistic thinking nat #you could lead me many places #but rn specifically your discord #dm’ing you my name!! <3 #slightly off topic but this is really smooth like what a line #i might just be easy but if someone used that on my seriously i’d be twirling my hair kicking my feet

Hate it when you're friends with an artist and then you have a falling out. Not because I miss that art specifically (though I usually do), but when their art crosses my dash again I get a spike of anxiety. It may not even be THEIR art, just their character or artstyle mimicry, and the anxiety returns all the same.

It's an instant reminder of what happened- all the negative outweighs the positive, in the end.

#dimond speaks #sorry this is pessimistic there's just been a lot of that recently #there was an art competition in the SU fandom a while back and my abuser won #seeing his art on my dash again- even though i'd blocked him in any way i could- got me SO BAD man #but even aside from him seeing other artists i've had a bad falling out with just leaves me feeling terrible #i miss you guys but i also know there's no going back #nor would i really want to if i seriously asked myself that #by some WILD chance any of y'all are reading this... i hope you're doing better. #to my abuser specifically: i hope you feel better. i hope you're able to see clearer and have found a better life. #i just wish i could block specific art pieces without looking at them lol

Ngl I'm very on the fence when it comes to chatbots. Like, they've always been around, but the AI data scraping has only become more and more normalized. But frankly I rather actual awful people write with a bot than bother people in the roleplay community.

#kirm rambles ✨ #def a moral grey area I think #especially if you're just doing it for jokes / gags / whatever like. yeah I know it's a pessimistic take but that ai is gonna get data #whether you use it or not. writing is still art but at the same time #not everyone is cut out to be in rp settings. some people take rp way too seriously #as I said i rather some abusive jackass write with a bot than a real person

It’s 11pm but does anyone have any life advice for what to do when your abusive/neglectful parents are trying to force you into getting a job at their office just because they make a ton of money and don’t want the business to go into the hands of your older brother but you don’t personally care and literally just turned 18 and haven’t even started college yet

because

man what the fuck am I even supposed to do?

they’re trying to send me there tomorrow to learn about how the office works and everything and I GET IT it’s USEFUL but I don’t… want to do that. Especially with my family.

#I don’t normally vent on here but I seriously need some advice #I want to prove to my parents that I CAN make a living for myself but they won’t even give me a debit card so I can’t start my redbubble ye #I’m literally writing a novel!!! It’s pretty good!!! AND THEY DON’T FUCKING CARE!!! #Ughhhh sorry just. Man I hate my family #Except my brother he’s fine #The one who’s on Tumblr #My mom keeps telling us that she and dad could drop dead any day so we need to be ready to take over the business #Which. Ma’am. you call ME a pessimist and then just say shit like that??? #Just realised my bestie is on tumblr now and might see this post… um. Hi Espurr if you’re reading this don’t worry 👍 #I’m feeling very vaguely suicidal but not enough to do anything about it it’s okay I won’t um… try the stuff I’ve tried again #Tw abuse #tw suicide #tw neglect #DragonairIce Rambles

my main takeaways from the episode:

lmao ty got fired. time to find out if he has a life that doesn't revolve around his work

chances of seeing mustardseed are rapidly diminishing and i am devastated

BASE-RYAN TEAM UP BASE-RYAN TEAM UP i've been hoping for this since 96 yeeeeeeEEEEEESSSS

#and my main gut punch: michael in the last episode adding edgar as an afterthought & not even mentioning him as a reason in this one 😭😭😭 #and in this moment I am mikey with his grief and confusion and mourning edgar's death and apparently diminished importance in Michael's lif #i miss edgar I miss him so much 💀 #i still have a lot of hope to see mustardseed again! let it not be said that i am a pessimist #let it be known that I am optimistic to the point of foolishness instead. thanks 101 you broke my angst meter and now everything is sunshin #woe.begone #woe.begone spoilers #e speaks #this is entirely me being a big baby and projecting onto michael tho‚ even i don't take me very seriously in this regard 🙏🏾

[bookwyrminspiration]

sorry i'm. just walked breaking dawn part 2 and i think this might be the funniest fucking movie i've ever seen. like yeah dw there's love and sex and stuff. and body horror. and underage relationships. like what a movie.

stephanie meyer is so goofy honestly. and so is this movie. there's even a whole sequence like 'omg guys we need action for the ppl who don't want the vampire melodrama!!' as if i would have watched this far if i didn't.

anyway. love your beloved media so good. i'm sorry i can't take it too seriously but i think that's such a huge point of it <33 genuinely one of my favorite movies to watch while i'm sad.

no no please don't apologize that is exactly how you should be viewing this it truly is ridiculous. out of the core 4 books breaking dawn is my favorite because it's just like WHAT is happening here

and oh my gosh that "omg we need action!" sequence is a whole thing. I wasn't alive to experience it fresh in theaters, but the stories I've heard about the way people screamed...oh if only I could've been there. I probably would've gotten miffed at the inaccuracy to the storyline before I got upset about Carlisle, but still.

you're so right the only reason I got this far was because I've become obsessed with this silly idiot dramatic vampires, I don't need a dramatic movie fight. I need to watch Jacob and Rosalie be petty and Charlie grumble about everything in the whole wide world

It's been too long since I watched the movies, I should watch them all. cannot take them serious. I cringe so hard watching them but it's so fun. I own at least two of them on dvd, I just need to collect the others now to indulge fully

so glad you watched and thought of me, at least enough to share this. i am the twilight mutual </3

#quil's queries #xanadaus #it's just. WAGH #i think I have made like one serious post about twilight ever in my life #it was the jacob until ur heart stops beating one #i should post about twilight more #indulge the demons or whatever #<- referring to vampires with edward terminology #he's soooo pathetic <3 #smeyer wants him to be morose and introspective and pessimistic in an artful way #but jokes on her she made the most cliche emo teen possible I canNOT take him seriously #i...am a monster...without a soul....cursed....without a god... #you :3 are a silly guy :3 with such silly little thoughts :3 #what was I talking about wait a minute

People need to learn to manage their expectations.

I see so many criticisms of movies and games and tv shows and books even where people got so hyped on their own imagined expectations of what it would be, and then they hold the media responsible for their own mistake.

Like, they call it trash, but when you look at the details of their complaint, it’s not that they’re criticizing what the product is, they’re criticizing it for not being what they imagined it would be.

When Bethesda makes a game, you know what to expect by now. When Disney+ makes a show, you know what to expect by now. I’m not saying Bethesda can’t make a bad game or Disney+ can’t make a bad show, or in general, that something one hypes up in their head can’t just be genuinely bad (:side eyes certain pieces of Media that know what they are:)

And this is of course bigger than the examples I’m using, it’s common across all sorts of things, but -

Manage your expectations. I’m not saying ‘expect the worst’ I’m just saying ‘expect what’s realistic’.

The way things work, the way companies work... nothing mass market by a big company can be expected to really knock it out of the ballpark. So don’t expect that. Expect good, and you’ll often get it. Demand excellence, and you’ll almost always be disappointed.

Expect good, and not only will you often get it, but you’ll also sometimes genuinely get excellence, just on it’s own merits.

Manage your expectations, and you’ll enjoy a lot more media.

On Saturday I hung out with my 84-year-old ecologist great uncle and he stopped in mid-conversation (abt the return of the whooping crane) and very seriously told me that "you can go one of two ways, as a naturalist"; either you keep sight of the hopeful possibilities, or you don't. I'm one of nature's wretched little pessimists but when an old ecologist literally holds your hands in his and tells you, "don't despair," you have to try, I feel.

#I'm not doing the scene justice i genuinely wanted to cry #like. both him and my great aunt are in middling health and he jumps all over the place in conversations now #but he was very serious about that bit #nature tag #;-;

[bigfatbimbo]

And I saw sparks —

1.2k Words,, Lucifer x reader

a/n — So this was actually a request at some point but it was literally lost to the tumblr void. I cannot find it for the life of me but it had to do with brushing Lucifer’s feathers so here we are.

summary — Date night for the reader and Lucifer quickly turns into a bonding session where the reader grooms Lucifer’s unkept and touch starved wings.

warnings — Fluff, gn reader, obnoxious flirting, getting together (officially), Lucifer being touch starved and sad.

Lucifer groaned as he tried uselessly to comb the feathers on his far back. He didn’t know if he had enough time to finish pruning when he started, and now, barely a third done, he was sure he didn’t. 

His third date with you was in ten minutes. In ten minutes you would show up at his door and expect a fully prepared, well put together, king of hell to sweep you off your feet.

How could he do that when he couldn’t even brush his own damn feathers? What are you going to think when you see him? Maybe, he thought, you’d simply scoff and leave him totally alone with poorly groomed wings.

How pathetic would that be? He grumbled to himself, dreading the last few moments he had to prepare. What was it now, six minutes? If he’s lucky, eight.

Lucifer was so wrapped up in these pessimistic thoughts that he didn’t hear the footsteps approaching behind him as he scrambled and whined over his knotted feathers.

“Lucifer, you okay over there?” You asked from the door way. 

He jumped back, brush getting caught up in the fluff of his wings and yanking two feathers out, making him let out a yelp and fall over. 

“Jesus christ, Luci—“ you laugh going over to help him up.

A blush spread across his cheeks. “I didn’t know you’d be here so soon,” he explained brushing himself off, “Wait how did you—“

“You left the door open and I heard very loud groaning so—“ You gesture to him, “—I thought i’d figure out where it was coming from. Oh, and you being demon royalty and all, I don’t think you should just leave your door open like that.”

He could tell you were joking and he was overjoyed that your attention hadn’t fallen to his exposed wings yet, so he played along.

“Actually, i’d argue that’s the very reason I can leave the door open,” he puffed his chest in his attempt to gloat his power.

This backfired when your gaze drifted to his roughly unkept feathers. Embarrased, he drew back.

“Uh, I was just finishing brushing them. They’ll be going away now, bye bye feathers,” he awkwardly laughed and rambled as he turned around him to hide his wings. 

“Wait, if you’re trying to groom them then,” your hands hovered over the wings before retrieving the brush from the table, “I can help with that. I had a friend way back when who—“

“Nononono,” he chirped, scooting back slightly, “I’m supposed to be taking you out and— and I couldn’t ask you to do that.”

“Lucifer, it’s seriously no trouble. Shit, if anything it’s fun. Let me see,” you gently sit him down and take a seat on the floor behind him. 

Your hands find his feathers and begin combing through the unkept bits Lucifer couldn’t reach himself.

He tried with all of his might to stop his wings from flapping about. He’d be lying if he said it didn’t feel incredibly soothing having someone else care for his sensitive wings. 

“Oh god,” he sighs, letting his head fall back slightly as you work your way through his feathers. He collected himself seconds later, not wanting to seem weird, “Sorry, it’s just been a while since anyone’s…”

He trailed off so you took pity and finished the sentence for him, “No, it’s okay. It’s cute how flustered you get over shit like this, anyways.”

Your teasing smile makes his shoulders tighten and his head snap back in your direction, “I am not flustered,” he corrected, cheeks reddening, “maybe just discombobulated.”

“Uh huh,” you grin, “Of course, your highness. Are you too good for a little flirting, now?”

“Oh, Lucifer Morningstar is never not ready for a little flirting,” he smirked, trying to hold himself together under your gentle touch.

“Oh yeah? Hit me with your best line.”

“I—“ He struggled, “Uhm. Okay, well maybe I’m a little rusty.”

You rake your fingers through his feathers once more, softening them to the touch, “I’m sorry, I was under the impression that the king of hell had game.”

“I do ‘have game,’ excuse you,” he did air quotes with his hands, “You just put me on the spot. It doesn’t help what you’re doing with my wings, either.” 

His snobbish royalty tone was alarmingly present and he had his arms crossed as he pouted.

It’s true, usually, Lucifer was quite the flirt. If there’s one thing he knew about himself is that he was a hit with the ladies, in his experience, at least.

But maybe it’s because you’re the first person he’s been on a date with since Lilith. Or maybe it’s the way you’re softly raking your fingers through his knotted feathers. Either way, it was making his brain feel fuzzy.

“I’ll believe when I see it, Luci,” you laugh to yourself.

“Oh, i’ll get you good when I catch you off guard, believe me.” Lucifer bragged.

After a moment, the laughter died down as you focused on your work. Every now and then you drew long content sighs from Lucifer. 

Although you seemed happy enough with the silence, Lucifer squirmed uneasily. He felt guilt build up in his stomach.

“So this is some date, huh? Curtesy of the King of Hell, you’re welcome,” he said glumly, picking at a scratch in his marble floor, “Sorry I couldn’t have made this more enjoyable.”

You caught him off guard with a deep, warm-hearted laugh. The kind that made him else feel like he’s  missed a totally obvious joke or reference.

“What’s so funny?” Lucifer asked, clearly perplexed by your response.

“Luci, we’re in literal hell. Compared to everyone else in shit-hole, you’re one of the better people I’ve dated.” You smiled, freshening up a few feathers, “There, done. Good as new.”

Lucifer grabbed a mirror from off the table and examined your work before realizing what was just said.

“Dating?” his spirits rise, hands coming up to his chest before turning to you, “Are we dating?”

The surprise on your face makes him smile cockily. “Catch you off guard, with that one?” he brags.

“In your dreams,” you recover quickly, “And, yeah, I did say that, didn’t I?” You look at his expectant face, he grinned brightly.

“Well, you heard it yourself, pretty boy. It seems like we’re dating now,” you laugh and caress his cheek with your thumb.

Completely dumbly, he giggles and leans in your touch.

“Wow,” he simply says. He rests against your hand for a while longer before you pull him in for a kiss.

It’s gentle and sweet while it lasts, and when you break apart, you pepper kisses on his cheeks and nose.

“Stop it, stop!” he laughs as you come to another finish on his lips. “So, uh, do you still want me to take you out?”

“Actually, where’s your tv in this place? Let’s watch a movie, instead.”

And so you do, cuddled up on the couch together with Lucifer’s newly groomed wings draped over you both. 

He nuzzled into your chest, desperate for human contact after being alone for so long. And oh, he was especially glad he was getting it from you.

a/n — Was listening to sparks by coldplay ON REPEAT while writing this, so that’s why the title is like that <3

[honey-milk-depresso]

Jason, Tim and Dick with an s/o who’s completely the opposite of them??

Requests open until 1 Feb (GMT 8+)! Please read the rules on my pinned post (provided the navi post link to go to rules). Thank you!🩷

Batboys with an s/o completely opposite of them

Dick Grayson

Dick is a very extroverted, active and optimistic individual while you’re very introverted, lazy (let’s all be real here-) and… well, he calls you a realist (because he doesn’t wanna call you a pessimist-).

The two of you have a rather funny dynamic between the two of you: Dick’s always the one dragging you out because you need “sunlight”.

“Come on, s/o! Let’s take a stroll! Gotta get that vitamin D!”

“Dick… it’s 8pm.”

“…” “You get the point, come on now-”

He’s just concern for your health because he loves you and doesn’t want you to just laze at home all the time, you know? And isn’t it nice to take a stroll with your boyfriend?? Come on now-

Dick’s always the one to cheer you up when you’re grumpy or sad (or both), and you’re always there to ground him back to reality when needed and he appreciates that.

Another thing to note is that he actually has poor communication skills when it comes to the relationship, and always feels like he’s a burden to share his problems. You, on the other hand, aren’t afraid to speak your mind and put a lot of trust in him when it comes to communicating challenges within your relationship with Dick and you encouraging him to put trust in you because he will never burden you because you love him honestly makes him admire you, and also fall in love with you even more.

It’ll take some time, not because he doesn’t trust you, it’s just because there’s that lingering thought of not wishing to burden you and also because old habits die hard but… slowly he’ll get there, and that’ll be the one thing you guys can be similar in.

For now, he loves his potato couch cutie (just stroll with him every once in a while at least-) <3

Jason Todd

Has no idea how he even managed to get you, because you’re everything he’s not.

He’s always so emotional, impulsive and jealous, while you’re so calm, rational and trusting in him even when he knows he’s got so much sin in him that he’s not proud of committing, and knows he can’t be forgiven for them at times.

Yet… you never saw that in him. You’ve always thought he’s someone compassionate, loyal and caring, and you love him even at his worse. He’s never thought of himself like that after you told him so sincerely and gently that he almost broke down and cried. You love him so much as much as he loves you it makes him feel so warm and comforted. He just feels so lucky to have you.

He kinda wishes he’s like you, because he’d always think it’s better to be anyone else but you’d tell him otherwise. Besides, it’s always opposites that attract.

He loves you with every fibre of his being, you’re like a second chance given to him. Well, not that he sees you as a way to feel better but he genuinely believes you’re an angel sent to him. Literally. But seriously, he loves you and he’ll try to be a little bit more calmer than let his anger get the best of him. You always can calm him down anyways.

You always told him that his compassion for you touched you, and that his warmth and love is something you’ve never had before from anyone, you make him feel so special, you know that? <3

Tim Drake

Tim’s… all sorts of things. He’s ambivert, more introvert-leaning, but he’s also poor in time management due to his workaholic nature and rather reserved in temperament.

And you were a lot more responsible and better in time management because you ACTUALLY do set limits for yourself than just doing EVERYTHING in one goal. You weren’t a control-freak like him, rather taking things slowly. Just like him, you’re an ambivert but more extrovert-leaning and you had a tendency of getting lost in your emotions, just being more sensitive than him in general.

Every time you try to drag him to bed, shower, eat, just take care of himself he gets a bit pouty every time you do this but he’s touched. You had to open his eyes to let him see that timetables exist, and open up his heart to let him know it’s okay to take a break. Breaks even. He deserves breaks.

Tim is always there to calm you down. You just get so worried for him every time he goes out for patrol because anything could happen to him in Gotham. He reassured you, kissing your forehead softly while you patch him up with a little bit of tears glossing your eyes and tells you he’s okay. He’s never really had people care for him so much to the point they cry which was why when he got a few minor cuts on his arms and torso, he panicked when he saw you cry so much. He makes a mental note to make sure he doesn’t come home too injured, but at the same time you always tell him he shouldn’t hide his pain from you. You just want him safe.

You two just blend well together, and he always feels like he can come to you when he feels troubled. And you can always go to him for comfort.

Bonus: You dragging Tim by his feet to go to bed while his coffee-drunk ass is sighing in defeat and lets you drag him away but smiled tenderly despite being tired. Sigh, fine. He’ll sleep, just for you. <3
