#trying to deny the connection

[theloveinc]

that would be such a wild meet ugly w bkg, like you're crying in the bathroom like you said n the groom barges in n you both start fighting loudly again n bkg tells him to leave you alone n tells his groomsmen to take him away then he tells everyone to go home bc the wedding is over n everyone is like wtf is going on?? n your bridesmaids are like "should we stay n help" n bkg is like "no i'll take care of it" n suddenly it ends with you in your mascara tear stained face, wedding dress all a mess n so dirty at mcdonald's with a pro hero sitting in front of you just staring n making sure ur okay n everyone wondering what went on lollll

RIGHT?!?!

And It's sooooo not Bakugo's bag but for some reason he feels so... not exactly obligated but... that it's the right thing to do to stay, buy you food, and help you pick up all the pieces.

He even helps you out of your dress, lets you wrap up in his spare coat and some pajama pants a bridesmaid left in your get-ready room. You cry when you see the empty venue and all the wilting flowers, but he helps you through that, too, holding you like he's known you for years, mumbling about how "you're never gonna get over it unless you do the work yourself."

He even picks out one of the nicest remaining flowers of your bouquet to send home with you that night, not to remember the day by, but to remember the good that came out of it: you were spared from marrying a "fuckin' loser extra," and you met him, and that can't be all bad, right?

(I think it's a little cliche to say you fall in love that exact night and he leaves you with his number... but you see him again, for sure, maybe dropping off some of your, now unneeded, wedding favors as a thank you gift for him to share with his staff at his agency (which was NOT hard to find, nor to gain entrance to)...

And there you are walking into his office only to be met by a whole handful of little sidekicks, going, "look, guys! It's the bride! It's Dynamight's bride!" as they're all so excited to finally meet the person in the pictures that were taken for the paper, of you and Bakugo sitting in that McDonald's, crying.)

#bakugo #definitely a 'WE'VE HEARD SO MUCH ABT U SITUATION' and ur like.. u have????? #and they're already come up with a whole love story for you guys that makes both u and bakugo heat up like OVENS #trying to deny the connection #its so funny tho bc bakugo refuses to eat any of the little chocolates and champagne with your ex-fiances name on it #and u catch him trying to get rid of those pieces and it makes ur heart kinda hurt in a good way #so maybe u leave ur number with HIM #and he goes nuts trying to work up the nerve to call u #and its all so EMBARRASSING LOL BUT I LOVE IT #but ur def dynamight's bride like thats ur pap name for the rest of time #ur wedding announcement in some tabloid is the picture of u sitting together next to your official photo for the public #IDK I HOPE THIS IS OKAY #caitie things #anon #gen

Defending Dick Grayson from people who think he wasn’t kind to Jason at first is a full-time job and I’m always employed

#‘it took him a while to get over his resentment’ it took him half a minute to get over his initial upset at seeing another kid wearing his #family’s colours and his name. and he denied ever having been resentful of Jason at all when bruce accused him of it (and it was very #clear that bruce was the one wrong and accusing dick falsely here) #there is not a version where dick isn’t kind to Jason. there isn’t even a version where dick doesn’t connect with Jason during their first #meeting. nobody even try me about these two

[autisticlee]

everyone likes to tell me that real friends exist, the right people for me exist, i'll find them, I just have to look, keep trying. etc.

but no one tells me how, where to look, or how to know who "the right people" even are!

not to mention the fact that I'm getting too old to "make friends" because it's mainly expected of kids/teens to do that. older adults are supposed to have their people already. most adults my age already have their established friend groups that i'm not allowed to join. or they're all pairing off and prefer their partners over friends. or I just simply can't relate or bond with them because we have nothing in common.

#autistic #autism #actually autistic #autism things #neurodivergent #adhd #audhd #autistic friendship #friendship problems #friends #the people who tell me these things never want to step up and try to be that person either so I mean 🤷‍♂️ #they won't tell me how and where and won't be an example. like how am I supposed to know what a good friend looks like if I never had one? #how am I supposed to know what the “right people” look like and where they are!! #this has to be one of those secret things other people just naturally *know* that I don't. right????? #most others dont seem to have any problems with it and assume I can do it easily! #the older I get the more I lose hope i'll find ~my people~ or where I belong and true friends.... #lee rambles #how cruel is this universe to make me want nothing more than to have solid and deep connections then deny me that #i wish to be able to accept that im meant to always be alone and embrace being a lonely as hell and learn to like it 🥲 #most of my problems and mental anguish would magically disappear if i could convince my pathetic brain to accept that!

this user is trying and failing to process tonight's the last trial

#this was hands down their best show i've been to #and i've heard that there were sound problems during the broadcast but everything was perfect live #and raistlin was perfect and crysania and takhisis and caramon and DALAMAR #(raistlin and dalamar's little interaction at the meeting with crysania was so 💔) #(and during the fall of istar he ran to caramon first! AND THE HUG i'll recover from it next month probably) #(and caramon & crysania finally felt like genuine friends! like they had a connection that wasn't raistlin!!) #and raistsania..... i can ramble about them the whole night they were amazing and he was so gentle with her and she trusted him so much😭💔 #her worried /raist... raistlin?../ when they entered the abyss will haunt me #also THE KISS he was so enamored yes he fell in love he cannot deny it #AND DALAMAR MY BELOVED #he was so funny and endearing and dramatic and he got to coughing raistlin first #dalaraistsania(??) rights! #anyway i'm going to sleep #or try to sleep more likely #dragonlance #the last trial #dragonlance musical

this is probably the extent of what i’ll say about this topic but i’ve noticed a huge similarity between the people who consider every single aspect of mcyt Problematic or Bad Media and the people who bullied me when I was 14 in that, they don’t really care about mcyt all that much, they just don’t want to be associated with the weird kids and so make a huge fuss about how it’s bad so they don’t get kicked out the Popular Group

#i’ve seen a bunch of ‘oh this youtuber isn’t mcyt they just play minecraft’ #as if mcyt doesn’t stand for minecraft youtuber #what are you guys so scared of happening if you stop bullying people for their interests? #you don’t have to engage with mcyt if you don’t want to but by actively hating on it publicly then you are just making fun of people who do #enjoy it for literally no reason #what did we do to you i’ve never even talked to you before #mcyt isn’t Problematic Media it’s ANY YOUTUBER EVER who plays minecraft #yeah we get it dream sucks no one likes him here either you don’t have to start being dicks to Everyone in the mcyt sphere #you’re telling me stampy is Problematic? there’s no way you can deny he’s an mcyt that’s his Whole Thing #are you gonna sit here and try to convince yourself that amylee33 is problematic media or somehow connected to dream #look me in the eyes and tell me that ldshadowlady or stacyplays ‘don’t count’ because you can’t connect them to the made up version of mcyt #that you’re allowed to hate if you change ‘cringe’ to ‘problematic’ #mcyt #discourse #jic #this stems from the cat poll because how are grown adults deciding that a CAT has to be Wrong because a mcyt owned her #wren wrambles

I criticize Hohenheim's parenting a lot but in his defense, he was enslaved for the first 40(?) years of his life and then everyone in his society died so it's not like he had a whole lot to go off of beyond maybe asking the screaming souls within him for parenting tips. I haven't gotten to his backstory in my reread yet so I'm trying to remember how much of his awkwardness existed before the screaming soul thing.

#my dad while watching diagnosed him as neurodivergent #might be on to something there #however it's primarily working thematically I think #Hohenheim struggles to connect with the people in his life bc he was raised without connections in society #he wasn't even given a name #fma is a story about how important our connections and bonds with other people are #Hohenheim is someone who was denied those at a formative time #and although he does try to surpass that it leaves its marks #vs Father who was also denied them and ends up doubling down #kat reads fma #anyway! time for bed

You can try and push eachother away, we can try and deny what we feel but when two hearts have connected and two souls have been reminded of love there is simply no way to fate can keep us apart.

Ya got any rants stored up? Long-burning hatred?

i FINALLY found one i’ve been holding onto this ask waiting for the opportunity.

i HATE how people treat people with anxiety disorders. it’s endless pity mixed with complete incompassion

like ok. obligatory i have generalized anxiety disorder here. a lot of things make me stressed and when i’m having bad anxiety attacks (which can last days and sometimes put me into month-long spells of misery) i get physically sick, to the point of throwing up and fever. i also tend to go nonverbal/low-verbal during these periods of time (usually bc i’m nauseous.) i’m also very prone to migraines and have a tic and wear a night guard due to jaw clenching etc etc you get the point it affects me.

when i share these symptoms with people (assuming they don’t have similar symptoms) i get a lot of frowny faces. “owh i’m sorry :( that must be awful how horrible“ and the like. and it’s never said in a way that’s actually kind. it’s said in the way people talk about those aspca commercials. and it’s never actually come from a place of genuine concern- it’s superficial pity apparently meant to placate me. i hate it

and that’s assuming i even get that reaction at all! usually when i try to explain to someone that i’m experiencing symptoms of some sort like “hey i’m sorry i can’t really be productive right now, i’ve got a lot of brain fog” i am ALWAYS dismissed. EVERY time. maybe it’s because i’m quite skilled at coping and masking. maybe it’s because my panic attacks don’t (always) look like wailing and thrashing and choking on air. but for some reason people don’t seem to understand that yes my anxiety disorder is actually disabling for me sometimes. i will ask for an accommodation i need, be compared to someone else with different needs from me, and then be told i need to just suck it up and deal with it. and i am SO! TIRED! OF! IT!!!! the amount of times i’ve told people “hey please don’t say that to me i’m prone to paranoia about xyz” and then been yelled at because “it’s not that serious take a joke” is ABSURD. hey maybe stop telling me my cough is covid bc now i have to spend the next 3 hours reminding myself that i don’t have any other symptoms asshole!!! jesus

and THEN when i actually DO find a way to cope or utilize the way my brain works or god forbid crack a fucking joke about it people get mad at me. “see i knew it wasn’t a big deal” or “so you’re actually fine” or “that’s not funny” i am. so tired of it

and then i go online and see people saying that disorders like anxiety and depression have been destigmatized and we’re treated basically the same in neurotypical society. motherfucker i did not go undiagnosed for 17 years with several doctors telling me it “wasn’t anything to worry about” despite my family history and clear signs from a young age just to be told my disorder is respected. if i say my anxiety is a disability i get called dramatic and am told to stop taking attention away from people who need it- or not to call it a disability because “it’s not that bad” and i’m fine because clearly having a disability makes every second of your life miserable of course of course. hell anxiety is demonized too! not as badly as many other illnesses but it’s still demonized!!! if i tell people “hey i have anxiety so please be careful with xyz” they act like i just asked them to let me do anything i want without consequence. there’s literally a whole fucking stereotype of people using “anxiety” as an excuse to be lazy or an asshole or entitled. as someone whose anxiety manifests in depressive spirals (freeze response) and rejection sensitivity (doom spiraling) this is Not Great!!!!! like i am hypervigilant about enough things i do not need to add “will these people get mad if i explain how my brain works” to the list

and about the rejection sensitivity. i HATEEEEE when people judge me for crying because they’re upset at something i’ve done wrong. “mars if you’re in the wrong then you’re not the victim” who the fuck said i think i’m the victim???? i cry because my brain takes “can you pls stop doing this it genuinely bugs me” and turns it into “you’re a horrible person how could you do this to someone they hate you.” but just because that happens doesn’t mean i’m not capable of rational thought!!! i KNOW realistically that my friends are good communicators and share that stuff because they like my company. i just need to cry about it as well. that doesn’t negate my logic or say i won’t actually try to improve myself. i’m just upset that i made the mistake. obviously i’m gonna fix it. that one REALLY pisses me off esp when i warn someone in advance that i do that. like calm the fuck down i’m not even pointing out that i’m crying rn this isn’t about me stop making it about me.

ANYWAYS. it’s really frustrating to deal with this shit from nts and then go to an online nd space for community and hear people talk about anxiety disorders like we don’t face ableism. just because it’s quieter doesn’t mean it isn’t there. that AND the “it’s barely an issue” girlie i was told i wasn’t disabled enough by doctors my whole damn life i am NOT about to start hearing it from you too. you can drown in the ocean or a swimming pool or a puddle. doesn’t fucking matter. the hypocrisy irritates me so bad

#ask #ghost #marzirants #i am sick of being told i’m normal and then getting yelled at for being myself #if anyone is an ass on this post and doesn’t consider the context or nuance within i will kill :) #anywho thx ghost. that one’s been simmering for a but #a bit* whoopsies #once before i got dxed i was trying out a new therapist #and after an in-depth explanation of my fear around driving and the built up shame i had from still just having my permit #she told me to ‘just get in the car and drive’ #girl do you think i didn’t try that. my whole issue is that i can’t ‘just’ do it i was hoping we could work on the THREE MENTAL BLOCKS there #anyways i never went back to her. i still seethe a bit when i think abt it #anywho. sick and tired of being denied help and then chastised when i survive anyways #like yeah i’m alive. be a lot FUCKING better if you just gave me a hand though #but noooo because i’m not falling apart in front of you clearly i’m dramatic #tbf i have an incredibly high pain tolerance and have been an expert masker since i was a child #but still. not all disability is visible asshat. am i supposed to be able to function on my own or not why is there no right answer #anywho i’ve always felt a lot of connection to those with chronic fatigue #probs bc we both have deal with ‘it’s not that big a deal’ or ‘you’re being lazy/sensitive’ or ‘just suck it up’ #not to mention constant anxiety is EXHAUSTING. fight-or-flight takes up so much energy dude

hoopa is so unfortunate because despite being connected to oras and masters, there isnt a ton of content where it’s actually there and relevant besides the hoopa movie, which is considered the worst pokemon movie and kinda does hoopa dirty anyways by giving it a bad storyline and making it a frustrating character

#like. ive seen people make it the celebi to palkia sometimes #which i feel like really shows the difference between the old mythicals and new ones #despite basically having the same amount of potential celebi has been a consistent part of the anime for a while #got a chronicles ep and a hoenn special and roles in two other movies besides its own (kinda) #while hoopa hasnt shown up in anything besides the movie and in psmd where hes optional #and i mean yeah part of that is just that hoopa is newer while celebis been around since basically the beginning #but like... youd think hoopa would have gotten SOMETHING else by now #something a bit more memorable #echoed voice #idk i feel like the gens 1-4 and kinda 5 mythicals mean something. they feel like mythicals they feel distinct #you cannot deny the vibes that the lunar duo or lake trio have or deoxys or jirachi #but somethings just. off about the ones after gen 5 #and this is coming from someone who loves diancie and does kinda like magearna btw #i dont hate any of these pokemon and i get why a couple of them are mythicals but it also feels unearned and strange #like... what exactly makes zeraora a mythical? endangerment? does that make lapras and farfetch'd mythicals too? #even in the anime theyre just like ''idk its kinda rare'' #same with zarude. how is zarude a mythical. even in its movie its just a general species really #with marshadow they try and force a connection to ho oh but it just doesnt really make sense or work and its kinda odd in hindsight #bc i dont think anyone actually considered it a ho oh related pokemon especially since ho oh already has the dogs #really feels like most of the mythicals now are just made to fill that movie quota #which is just odd to me even now bc shiny celebi was only in the zarude movie for two seconds and it still got merch and distributions #so really just. reuse the legendaries lol #better yet start teasing the next gen again with normal pokemon like lucario and zoroark #those are classics and fan favorites to this day and i cannot figure out why they stopped besides the crunch now

[litres-of-cocaine]

made really fucking uncomfortable when people respond to ‘no one is giving trans kids surgeries against their will’ and people try to make a gotcha out of intersex people. why are you trying to undermine the conversation.

can we just, in general, stop bringing unrelated issues into conversations that are already hugely confrontational. no the transphobes are not talking about the nonconsensual mutilation of intersex kids. they are talking about hypothetical cisgender perisex children used to push a hateful agenda.

it’s like reading a post about safe sex and someone saying it’s not inclusive to asexual people.

stop trying to derail the topic.

#add to that plenty of asexual people *also* would need to know about safe sex #and plenty of intersex people are *themselves* trans and are being denied gender affirming care #i just don’t see the connection when they are two very separate issues; one dealing with sex the other with gender #like whether an intersex person is cis or trans that part of their identity is a separate concern that may be linked but it is *separate* #they are just so fundamentally different #and it’s offensive to try absorb intersex people exclusively under trans umbrella when plenty of them are gnc cis #and don’t want to be attached to that

the way splatoon's matchmaking works is just unbearable sometimes. you ask to play a round of Ranked and it says "sure thing. your team consists of two sloshers, an aerospray, and a glooga dualies. the enemy team consists of a splattershot, an e-liter, an N-zap, and an octobrush. you now have to play this round to completion." why can't we at least see what our team composition is going to look like before it's too late to back out

#does not help matters that the ''stay with this team'' button almost never actually works #when i do get a functional team i try to stay with them but the matchmaking timer just counts up to 100 before giving up #and it throws a connection error which splits everyone up and casts me back down to Matchmaking RNG Purgatory #it is making me pretty cranky. i will not deny that i am experiencing some crankiness right now #i'm not even that good or anything but even for me the difference between a functional vs dysfunctional team comp is like night and day #floralaqua #splatoon #splatoon 3 #i should probably see if i can find people to play with consistently so i don't have to roll these dice anymore #although i have no idea how to go about that :/
