#this has been a fucking rant

[silvysartfulness]

Just a week into the US election year of 2024, and I'm already seeing some Takes™ on my dash.

Please. No.

I know you hate your options, guys, but third party will not win. They simply won't, not in 2024, no matter how much you wish they would. Building that kind of voting power takes time, and with the current voting-suppression systems and gerrymandering in place, you're just not there yet.

And you know the people who are tempted to try it anyway are the people on the left and some lost-looking centrists. And you know that taking those votes away from the Democrats while the people on the right turn up to vote en-mass as they always do means that Trump will win.

I cannot overstate how much you can't let that happen. You can't.

You can feel betrayed and be frustrated with the Biden government all you like, but you can't hand that position of power back to Trump and the conservatives. People will suffer. People will die. Within your own country and globally.

If you seriously think Trump in power will mean less genocide and fascism in the world, I'm sorry, but you're straight up delusional.

Please think really hard about what narratives you're buying into, supporting and spreading this year. Not immune to propaganda etc. People who try to cloud your judgment by appealing to your anger and sense of helplessness, telling you not to vote, or vote third party may genuinely believe what say - or they're manipulating you into throwing your vote away. Either way, the end result is the same.

And frankly - the choice is yours, but if you intend to chase the third party pipedream right now and thereby allowing a fascist government to take over and dictate global politics for the next four years at least (provided their next insurrection isn't successful, leaving them in power indefinitely...)

Then kindly unfollow me. Right now.

I have zero patience for the leftist "perfect or nothing" mindset when the alternative is outright open and proud fascism. No fucking dithering. You have one job this year. You can either vote for the lesser evil like a fucking grownup and then work within the system for further change, or get right out of my face.

That's all.

#people voting 'third party' got a nationalist right-wing party in power in my country #they're suggesting banning mosques #they're talking about exiling pretty much anyone not born here #it's a shitshow #and with your ultra-religious conservatives #you'd better believe the right will come for the queer and neurodivergent people hard #this isn't a fucking game #you either do everything in your fucking power to keep fascists out of your government #or sit right down and never pretend to care about human rights again #this has been a fucking rant #may delete later #real world bullshit

the level at which people are misusing the term "Never Again" in the far left absolutely infuriates me.

"Never Again" doesn't refer to the idea of no more genocides -- unfortunately people are evil and corrupt and seek scapegoats and destruction, there were genocides in the years following the Holocaust, there were genocides 10 years ago, there are multiple genocides going on as we speak

"Never Again" means we as Jews will pay attention to the warning signs, will not mindlessly allow antisemitism to fester and take over our communities, we will fight back. it means we will be proud. it means we will not let you hate us without a word of refusal.

"Never Again" is a warning for us, it is a reminder that what happened then can happen now -- is happening now. The Far Left doesn't get to use it against us. You don't get to turn our tragedies into hate-speech and antisemitic rhetoric.

#abby speaks #that fucking NYT article made me rage so much #needed to get this out #if this somehow makes you pissed at me go ahead the unfollow button is right there #I have always said that Palestinians deserve a state and I have always believed that Israel has a right to exist #the lack of knowledge at these “protests” shocks me - people don't know which river or which sea; they don't know about the hostages #free gaza from hamas #we are allowed to mourn the “protests” started before we'd even had a chance to. #I will never ever forgive or forget the people that have made mourning still feel impossible #I am not about to sit here and say that the Israeli government is blameless #however if you didn't know that 1000s of Israeli have spent the past year protesting against Netenyahu's right wing government shut up #we need actual solutions; neither Israelis nor Palestinians are going anywhere #and you guys need to start calling out the antisemitism in your movement #I have my doubts on that actually happening and you'll never see me donate to a lot of these causes again #the goy left has lost my respect and my trust and now it only has my side-eye #sorry for the rant in the tags it's been an exhausting few months

Watching the dynamic between bonny and read vs stede and ed in s2 ep4 was such a rollercoaster cause it went from me thinking "oh no they're just like stede and ed but if they actually ran off to China together and had a loving happy relationship" to me getting further into the ep and thinking "oh no they're just like stede and ed but if they ran off to China together and their relationship turned fucked up and toxic cause that's what happens when two traumatized pirates run of to live in isolation with eachother on a whim".

#I love the dynamic between those four it was so awkward and fucked up #They are literally parralells of eachother its driving me insane #It's also kinda nice in a way cause it offers a sense of closer knowing that them running off would've been a bad idea #And now that they've seen that first hand they're trying to work on their relationship slowly #I have so many feelings and thoughts that my brain has yet to process #And probably won't until maybe my 4th rewatch #Also bonny and read were so hannigram but that's another conversation #Ok rant over onto the fandom tags #ofmd 2 #ofmd #our flag means death #gentlebeard #ofmd spoilers #blackstede #anne bonny #mary read #antichrists thoughts

I’m so tired with people continuing to tag me in posts with tags in the posts implying I’m attempting to gatekeep dpxdc.

I’m just asking folks to read some wikis or maybe watch a DC tv show to get more ideas because the content in DC is so expansive. I’ve been trying to push this since July of 2022.

I’m writing it like this so people just understand. I just want to show folks the cool thing I enjoy and That theres so much more content to play with when you either do (or don’t idk at this point bro) choose to look more into the greater fandoms of the Crossover.

You can write whatever you want, I would just think it would be cool to see the looking into cool DC stuff by the community.

I’m not gatekeeping or trying to prevent people from writing fanfic. I read all forms of dpxdc fics at every level of fanon to canon to AUs to Ghost AUs.

I’m just trying to push a cool thing I like to show other people the cool thing I like?

#the amount of vague posting towards me has been fucking bananas lately and folks have tagged me in posts that are just not the point I’m- #trying to make. id just like to see cool funky Dc stuff and it’d be rad to see more Dc centered stuff like Animal Man or Hitman #dpxdc #bones rants #i have received only 8 death threats this time around in my DMs this time so I call that a win #people can have differing opinions and stuff like fuckin you do you bro #I’m simply expressing my opinion. i won’t reply More to this post to prevent it going into an argument chain but yeah. #sometimes it’s just agree to dissagree but we both like creating fanfic

remember dear writers,

your writing is a privilege, not a right. It is shared with others and not for them.

write what makes you happy + not what everybody else claims they want because their minds change like the wind. That fic is still just as perfect with or without smut and thousands of notes.

people’s reading comprehension or lack thereof is not your problem. If they can’t understand your art, it’s not for them, period. Don’t let it discourage you. You are also not responsible for anyone else’s perception of your work.

POST YOUR WORK! Stop being scared and share that shit because the right audience will find you.

you are not a content machine. If these ‘readers’ can’t be vexed to care about your well-being and wanna unfollow bc you’re not pumping out fics everyday, FUCK EM. and I mean that wholeheartedly.

lastly, you are in competition with nobody. This is for fun and nothing else. Find your tribe, enjoy your fandom/fixation and leave the other shit to the birds. This is not high school, this is not Mean Girls + we’re all adults (I hope). We’re all a bunch of weirdos simping for drawings.

#a lil PSA #cherry chats 🍒 #writing rant #writing ramblings #writing rambles #cause I’m tired of seeing my favs leave #and so many good writers not want to write anymore #this isn’t fucking tiktok #and this app has just been on bullshit the past few days idgi #ppl work hard on their stuff and the only thing y’all can comment is ‘p2 🤪’ #imagine how tired we are #exactly why I’m not moving my stuff back to WattPad #stop asking

Every day. Every damn day I question why THIS is the way they established MK's Monkey Demon Form/Identity. He's flickering, shards are coming off of him (shattered sense of identity), he seems to be in pain, and he radiates so much power. Overall it gives the impression that he's fighting this form off, trying to maintain his humanity/the current status quo.

And I'm just sitting here waiting for his current negative character arc to go down FURTHER

#light as a corrupting horror light as a corrupting horror light as a corrupting horror li- #god they really went ''MK functions as a reflection/mirror to most other characters and we need to have someone reflect MK. Any ideas?'' #''Hmmm....what if MK reflected MK?'' ''PERFECT Idea.'' And then Ink MK was born #stupid fucking monkeys. #4x08 is fucking insane #lmk rant #lmk #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk mk #It's been like 3 months and s4 still has me in it's clutches

here's the thing about playing around with generative "ai" aka applied statistics based on stolen data: even if it's just for teehee haha laughs and funtime for you, even if you're not using it to replace real talent in a professional setting, it's a tacit endorsement of these shady as fuck, unethical training models and companies that will happily use your teehee haha generated memes to sell their tech to others who will then happily replace real creative people with technology that seeks to undermine them and then have to rehire those people at half the pay and with none of the credit to fix the absolute sludge they're generating in place of a proper job. and that's the optimistic outcome because the alternative is they say "good enough" about this meaningless, lowest-common-denominator sludge and send it out to consumers as is.

even if you're just the consumer in this system and not one of the creatives getting undercut, why in the world would you want to read or watch or interact with something that no one could even be bothered to make themselves? why in the world would you want to encourage that future?

#we need regulation asap #but also like.....we just need a cultural shift that actually appreciates all the art that the public has been happily consuming for years #as well as appreciating the artists responsible for it #let's have some goddamn solidarity across creative disciplines #fuck ai #shouting into the void #rant #ai #ai generated #chatgpt #stable diffusion

#Fuyuhiko kuzuryu #peko pekoyama #Sdr2 #Super danganronpa 2 #Danganronpa 2 #Danganronpa #danganronpa goodbye despair #kuzupeko #GONNA RANT NOW #Imo their relationship has always been tragically messy and complicated #Baseline: they care a lot about each other. Raised together but definitely not as family since Peko was raised as staff at best. #Seemingly very isolated since Fuyuhiko admits he's never had friends and Peko seems very socially inexperienced. #Possibly only rly hung out with Natsumi who also was raised in their messy little household. And then she dies #So they got each other and they're VERY reliant on each other BUT #Peko is raised as an inferior person and I 100% believe she knew she was only brought into the family for a purpose #If she loses that purpose she loses everything. Like the household has her under a thumb #Fuyuhiko is raised in his much more affluent but still fucked up way where he thinks he has to be so tough and macho and- #-his life is second to his parents' BUT much much higher in value than Peko's #Peko can't be Fuyuhiko's friend bc she's not raised to be his equal to the point where she doesn't rly believe it herself #Fuyuhiko can't allow that because it's not in him to regard her (or any other person as examples w the Izuru chat thing) as less than him #But he can't convince her otherwise either because he IS raised not to care and to accept his role and be an authority #And like it or not he is her boss #Endless cycle of being all the other has and being unable to fulfill their needs but trying anyway #Neither one is wrong neither is right nobody wins. Anyway #If you read all that gold star for you ☆

Every time I'm forced to deal with Elon's nonsense on twitter I just want to

#Feh #it aint easy being a self employed artist #Fuck elon all my homies hate Elon #Put me in a cage match with him I want to teach him the true meaning of fear for fucking with us artists on the regular #Yes this counts as a rare rant post but everything the musky rat has done to twitter since his takeover has been so stressful and shitty #Also welcome new people!!

idk the worst thing about tumblr (or just social media in general . I've just only used tumblr) is that your funny text posts that randomly popped into your head will get SIGNIFICANTLY more interaction than anything that you create whether it's illustration or writing or anything else it will always be like that and it doesn't make sense to me because it takes the same amount of effort to look at a funny post and reblog/share it as it does to look at any form of art that you like and reblog/share it . my top text post has over 1,000 notes and my top art post has a little over 100 because it was fanart for a blogger with a high following and that always fucks me up . Every single time I post art it'll get a few notes here and there but my text posts always get more . Always . There's even a better reblog/like ratio . literally what the fuck . Why is it worth it to reblog something funny but not something that took hours upon hours of effort and dedication. "Art is subjective ‼️>:[" so is humor . What's your point . Reblog shit that you like im so fucking tired of this

#noodle talks #not art #sorry im just pissed and tired #🌱 #well im not sorry actually #fuck that #rant #i guess #i dont usually get mad on here but this has been making me feel so shitty lately

[dangerliesbeforeyou]

ok so we're all in agreement that the way the show is handling trixie and matthew's storyline is complete shite right?

#call the midwife #call the midwife series 13 #don't usually like putting negativity in tags but.... i am seriously so frustrated by this lol #not only does it just... not make sense with EITHER characters #it also just feels like a totally lazy way to add drama... #like there's totally a way they could have added a money-issues storyline that could have been really interesting! #but pointless miscommunication? matthew being a chauvinistic dickhead? trixie have barely any of her own agency??? nah nah #fuck that lol #also looks like they're going to make her return to alcoholism in the finale which is completely annoying #like there were whole SERIES dedicated to her getting help with it!! #and it was amazing! it was one of the few times i've seen alcoholism depicted with such care on screen PARTICULARLY w/ a female character #uguhughuu idk #i'm just ranting here soz lol #and like ctm has made some very strange choices in terms of characters and plotlines in the past #but this one really feels like it's taking the piss imo lol...

Thoughts on different dragons having cultures and different languages?

#augh i think they should have different language……. and like focusing on more cultral aspects #i feel like the rainwings have their own language and written language and god i hate the framing of the rainwings like AUGH no! #though in my version of wof i wouldnt make Glory convert them cause of course… i feel like she would end up joining as an important part of #the kingdom because she wants to be apart of the culture she missed out on and her discovering how much better it is than a stinky ass cave #and she feels like she belongs and damn were other dragons wrong fuck them fuck you kestrel 🖕 #anyways sorry if this is semi incomprehensible its 1 in the morning but oh the thoughts… #i know this has probably been said a million times before but idk #maybe i wanted to rant about rainwings and Glory #wof #wings of fire

Spent so much time making sushi for dinner and was so excited to have a funky little sushi roll and eat it like a burrito but then my nori ripped apart mid roll and I had to eat it as a salad and apparently my brain doesn’t like the texture of imitation crab + seaweed and rice rn :(

#bones speaks #bones rants #sad :( #imma put in fridge for twin but man now I gotta make something else for dinner because I haven’t eaten anything else today #and only had like 300 calories worth of food yesterday. getting used to not feeling hungry with- #-​consistent adderall use has been kickin my ass lately. #sorry I like never rant on here but I’m so sad I was so excited for sushi and then Texture Bad :((((( #i even put avocado n carrot and salted cucumber ;-; this took so long to make and now I can’t eat it #a tragedy of the highest order #fuck it imma make me some chicken and just season the everloving shit out of it #i may be white but I know how to cook flavorful food and by god am I not gonna eat chicken with just salt. lack of spoons be damned

[imaginethathaikyuu]

it actually makes me sick to see people share the BDS boycott list but continue to support companies on the list lmao

one of my mutuals just made 3 tweets in a row about getting mcdonalds when a month ago they were making a thread of helpful information, posting the bds list, and tweeting the watermelon emoji

like do you actually give a fuck about whats happening or are you only virtue signaling for retweets? this shit is so fucking mind numbing like im so pissed off and i know im directing my anger at something small retrospectively but how are you going to be a hypocrite in this situation how are you going to pretend to care how are you going to ignore the simple things we’ve been asked to do i want to just scream

when the bare minimum is not supporting corrupt brands, and self proclaimed leftists can’t even do that, how is anything going to change. am i going to be angry for the rest of my life

#it just makes me mad and i need to rant. everything makes me mad #fuck brittany broski too she can choke and lose everything btw #im begging u if u are reading this to seek out important information and share it on twitter tumblr ig facebook. post it on ur stories #i dont care if only 5 people see it thats better than zero. #no one has any excuse to stay silent. I should have spoken up sooner. EVERYONE should have been speaking sooner #i have friends that currently are posting about abortion rights and gun control and lgbtq rights but have shared nothing about palestine. #and it makes me so angry because the only thing we can do is share information and protest. #follow palestinians share their posts. please for the love of god #follow bisan and motaz and hind and other journalists. follow bds. seek out the information
