#we go through this every few years

[morgana-ren]

Man, people are once again getting really upset about the lack of content for some characters and fandoms as opposed to others. Like 'howling to the moon' angry about how there's no content on the characters they like or the things they like or ideas they like. We're talking 'conspiratorial' angry.

Baby, be the change you want to see in the world. If you want content, make it. Row the boat all the fuck by your lonesome if you have to. A lot of people have, and they're literally the reason that there is even content for less popular ships/ideas/characters! That's how things get popular! People taking the initiative and just doing it. Don't wait around for someone else to do it for you.

Most of us work for free and are just posting on a whim from our heads. If you love something, write it. Draw it. Post about it. Make the content you want to see. Be the reason someone else has content to turn to if it's important to you. Don't stamp your feet and get upset that something doesn't exist.

Make it. Produce it. Draw it. Imagine it. Do it. Lead the tag. Make the content. Fuel the fire. Do it badly. Just do it. You won't regret it.

#morgana and friends #Man yall come on #we go through this every few years #ive been here long enough to be one of the people that had to row #and it was worth it #baby learn to write learn to draw and learn to imagine #don't get mad that others won't do it for you #DO IT #please don't try to make things too deep it ends up looking bad on all sides #just write it! make it! #if you love a little guy then make a little guy blog! #draw! Draw badly! write badly! just do it! #That's what the rest of us do! #dude i literally write about my OCs and If I can do it for them you can do it for CANON CHARACTERS #honestly that's how A LOT of people get into a certain character or fandom #by people POSTING #it's not always source material #drag others in by the hair friends

Every day I’m haunted by the fact the boys happily swim in sewer water

Even if it’s filtered somehow there’s no way it’s not still nasty 😭 Bet they can defeat any of their villains just by accidentally giving them diseases I swear

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #bless their hearts but they’re nasty #it’s funny because like #each and every one of them has moments #where they’re a typical disgusting teenage boy #and then the next they have STANDARDS #can’t blame Leo for being so determined to go to a spa #even if he nearly licked his own foot that’s prob cleaner than anything else the boys have been up to in years 💀 #thank you shelldon for all your hard work cleaning after then 🙏 #they’re all gross teenage boys!!! #even Donnie he is NO exception here #bro was DRINKING A BEVERAGE while wading through sewer water he is just as gross as his bros #bro also talks with his mouth full he is no more refined than his equally gross bros fr and I love it #but yeah no way that water isn’t disgusting even filtering it would still leave grime on the walls of the sewer for yearsss #pros of them moving into an abandoned subway system is fixing their sense of smell enough to not be as gross #100% that’s part of why they didn’t mind being so filthy pre shelldon #because I mean they were literally raised in the sewers and they’re teenage boys like that’s a double whammy #THEY ALSO DONT WEAR SHOES #the few times any of them do the shoes are discarded before heading home 💀 #I love them tho they are endearing anyhow #April’s immune system must be godlike just being around them fr #honestly no joke Mikey’s probably the cleanest of them all #just by virtue of being a chef #Leo I see as a mixture since he no doubt loves to pamper himself so he’s clean like #a percentage of time before he goes out and ruins his own hard work #Donnie is similar in that he’s just VERY SELECTIVE about what he thinks is too gross #Raph may be more on the stinky end but it’s not his fault he has his stinks and eats things of dubious origin(esp since his bros ate poison) #Donnie and Leo really have the gall to be sick about Raph eating the origami salami but they have no room to talk #all their villains are prob like please stay away from us we have salmonella now

my biggest fear is coming to life with every passing day (turning into my mother)

#rey vents! #every day of my life #i promised myself #i would not go through what she did #that the generational trauma ends there #and now #she is me i am her #and i know the cycle repeated with her mother #but godddd #i can't have that happen to my children one day #but she thought that about me a few years back #and here we are #vicious fucking cycle #girl blogger #spilled words #chaotic academia #womanhood #female rage #female hysteria

ya know what I’m deciding not to give a shit if my job doesn’t like me missing work bcuz I’m in agonizing pain

#txt #it is what it is #fuck it we ball #like idk what else to do #and it really erks me that my boss thinks she has the right to tell me I need to go to the doctor #because bitch I’ve been all my life I’ve been misdiagnosed with stomach viruses utis and it’s never that #I’m not risking being misdiagnosed again. I’m waiting for my gyno appointment bcuz it has fucking everything to do with my period/reproduct #REPRODUCTIVE ORGANS #like hire more people if it’s such a loss when I’m gone ?????? #don’t fucking text me telling me that “As a mom I’d tell my kid to go to the doctor😇 as if my parents aren’t fully aware of the pain I’m in #and have been fully aware since I was 10 years old #I know what’s going on bitch I don’t need to waste money at a walk in clinic for them to tell me I have a uti or my stomach is just hurting #u think jus fucking about with this shit. no I plan for this every month. usually it’s not terrible. this month has been hell #there’s nothing I can do to avoid it. I take meds and they barely do anything #i deserve to rest bcuz I’ve been busting my ass this year and last through this pain #i can afford to miss a few days off work. sorry yall can’t #I’m sorry for ranting this had jus been an issue my whole life. they used to grill me as a kid at school for missing #and it reminds me of that so much and it makes me feel like a child again #being told It’s JuSt period CrAmpS just TakE medicine #meanwhile I’m literally puking from pain #meanwhile my insides feel like they are blistering and on fire and my lower body is being yanked to the floor #ok sowwy I’m gonna go cry about it now

#last night i learned that my partner of 5 years apparently cannot deal with me being non-binary after all #my world is shattered i don't know what to do #i was in the closet when we started dating but I came out to him years ago and all this time i was under the impression that it was fine #and that he loved me for who i am #every part of me #but apparently he can't #i feel like I'm dying #one of my worst nightmares has come true #and all these last few years of pain and sorrow. i feel like i fought through them for nothing #he was the only thing that kept me going and now there's nothing #and i finally know that i truly am unlovable #i just want to fall asleep and never wake up again

#lindsay horan #uswnt #nwsl #people trying to justify it like ‘fans are dumb everywhere’ #or ‘it was better in context’ #or ‘most Americans only watch the uswnt once every few years when the big tournaments are’ #like. sure #but a player. a captain. who’s meant to be an ambassador for the sport #and is meant to be captaining the uswnt through a pretty temultous time #should keep this shit to herself #(her carli lloyd number 10 bullshit is showing but we been knew) #and people who are saying go to any nwsl game and the stands will prove her right like #idk what experience you are cultivating for yourself but I have had a good time every time I’ve been at a Gotham game #last time I was there was Kriegs’s last home game and we were seated near families who were there with their little girls #who were players #and the dad or whatever to these children heard my gf and I talking about the games that were ongoing #and he and the little girl would ask us questions #like #perfectly pleasant people #grow the game do not fucking bash people who would otherwise be your fans #lindsey horan #just discovered I spelled her name wrong idc she a bitch

Continuing non sburb dirk thoughts, I also think that he’d end up catfishing people but specifically in a situation where he’s like on gardening forums roleplaying as Barbara the 60 year old gardening amateur, birding enthusiast, and two time divorcée because he feels like expressing any sort of genuine interest in a hobby would crack his coolguy (tm) persona like a particularly disillusioned egg so his solution is to implement ‘failsafes’ that either distance him from emotional vulnerability or allow for plausible deniability were anyone to find out or approach him about it. Anyways this whole mess ends up being pointless because he gets really into it and ends up ordering seeds in bulk so like. Everyone knows.

#he’s too attached to Barbara to let her go though she’s trying to reconnect with her son who’s been a little distant these past few years #and he’s gotta see that through he’s drafting up a cathartic kitchen conversation as we speak #if this is incoherent I’m playing the sick card #also nothing i do with anything but I think he’d appreciate the humor in utilizing a large number of sockpuppet accounts #does anyone else love the naming there because it’s such a good way to refer to that it makes me laugh every time #homestuck #dirk strider

it's always "why were you in SAB all night" and never "how was hell did you have fun being tormented in hell it looked fun in hell" 😔

If you’re putting off loud ass firework tonight in the suburbs around other houses, let it be known I hate you. nearly kills my dog every year.

#first day of disability month is flooded with panic inducing noise. fuck America #could you losers drive out to open country that’s flat to let out fucking industrial level fireworks. #I don’t mean the small driveway ones or even just one or two smaller ones #I mean the ones that fucking send a shockwave through the whole house like a bomb is dropping. #nothing BUT those it sounds like a war zone out here #I hope you people set ur house on fire #killing birds bats and bugs and more #y’all aren’t even celebrating veterans like you think you are. every vet I’ve ever talked to or heard of HATES it. #putting people in danger to blow out ur eardrums setting off massive fireworks at close range. #y’all are fucking annoying #I wish there was like. etiquette for fireworks this time of year. #where you could put a sign out like ‘this neighborhood as a very anxious senior dog’ or ‘this house is sensitive to loud noises’ #’this house as someone w PTSD’ etc. but no everyone is supposed to get over it and shut the fuck up #and if we don’t like it we’re joyless funkillers #and if the sign is out then you have to find somewhere else away from that house to set off your fireworks. #and if you can’t find a spot without signs then you fucking get over it and have ur burger without ear shattering noise #or you know. go watch PROFESSIONALS set off fireworks instead of risking yourselves your neighbors and everything around you #I’m sorry if ur 4th of July is ruined bc you could set off industrial professional level fireworks then you genuinely need psychiatric help #if you set off a few. this isn’t about you. if you’re putting on a fucking show stopping finale this in fact is #every Fourth of July is a borderline extinction event for wildlife too. animals can die just from the sound. #they DO die. there’s a massive amount of dead animals found every year after nationwide firework events like this #y’all are killing the wildlife and then scratching ur dumbass heads going ‘huh I wonder where the fireflies went’ #you know what’s prettier than polluting the air with pyrotechnics? fireflies! where are they? you killed them! #i LIKE fireworks too. I just don’t like them in my neighborhood by my novice neighbors surrounding me on all sides. #not every single house needs to set off fireworks. fucking stop it

#this might be both oversharing and being too vague rn but it's 2am and i'm emotionally exhausted #i can't believe during one of the most traumatic moments i've had in the past year i was lucky enough to have scott as my biggest supporter #the entire time as i was going through it he was so supportive giving me space to process shit and always having my back #and yet there are some people in my life who are always going to villainize him for one comment he said during that time out of context #or even if they're not ''villainizing'' him i now feel like i have to begin every sentence about scott with #''yeah we don't agree on everything but we're still friends and isn't that amazing!'' #which yeah that is true and i do genuinely enjoy when scott and i disagree and are respectful about it #BUT WHY DOES THAT HAVE TO BE THE FIRST THING I SAY ABOUT HIM???? #and honestly that whole experience made me agree with scott on way more than i started out with #i'm proud of how i was able to grow as a person and for the fact that it brought me and scott much closer together #but that shit i went through at my college was still traumatic. and it did change me as a person #it completely changed my relationship to activism in a way i'm not happy about bc i want to be more of an activist #but when i had someone use social justice language to justify horrible things against me it's hard not to be wary #of how hollow and performative a lot of conversations can be #and like i'll even say it. like people might get mad at me for admitting it #but that whole traumatic situation has irrevocably changed my relationship to gender as well #or at least how i label myself and how i move through these conversations #and in some ways i'm grateful for it bc i do feel like i know myself more and like i don't have to worry about what others' think #or even what other people understand #but it shouldn't have had to go down like that. and as much as the time i got to spend with scott during that time was so much fun #and such a great experience and he was truly the perfect support system during that time #he shouldn't have had to deal with that and neither should i #and the fact that scott somehow got villainized in some people's minds while the person who actually caused that trauma #is instead treated like ''yeah he was a bit misguided and made a mistake but he was probably anxious about it!! he's just a person!!'' #that's never going to stop being painful. especially the idea that with the importance people put on labels #i would supposedly have more ''community solidarity'' with that asshole than a cis gay man like scott #idk i think i'm past the timeframe of that traumatic experience bc it's not consuming every day like it used to a few weeks back #but something triggered it tonight so i just need to process it. anyway shoutout to scott for being there for me i really needed it

why am i having to hold a gun to googles head to show me articles on the long term effects of hormonal birth control on the endocrine system in adult patients who began usage as a teenager

#barks #i just wanna know if having a hormonal iud as a teenager fucked with my shit or not #causeeeeee i switched to copper a few years ago and everything was gucci in the coochie until a bad summer hit #lo and behold i call the gyno and she puts me on nuvaring because my symptoms were a sign of hormonal imbalance #meaning i got my ass fucked up from the first iud. right? #fuck if i know i wish they didnt make it my responsibility and then not actually give a shit as to what really happens #the absolute hell you can go through both on and off of birth control is out fucking rageous #'cool my cramps arent as bad but im a raging bitch i want to rob a bank and i want to kill everyone and then myself' #can you please for more than five fucking seconds think about the actual effects these things have on us that arent 'harder to get pregnant #also never listen to anyone that tells you you cant get your tubes tied and still be able to have children down the line #they always wanna bitch and moan about it but its literally reversible just like a vasectomy. not as easy but still possible! #do we get mad at and blame the kitchen counter when a baby smacks their head against it? no. the baby is at fault #tell me why something i have no control over is the reason i have to bear the cross #instead of the dipshit baby that cause the issue in the first place being at fault????????????????????? #im going to burn this world down i swear to god i hate it more every day #the beauty is evident but the horrors persist #hi if you read all of this

[odysseys-blood]

trying to give myself little grace about not feeling up to do anything at all for months when my entire last year of school i felt like i wanted to throw in the towel and kms daily and its probably that all that stress has just rebounded and needed time for me to process through it and feel it at a normal rate instead of super compounded daily but it still. barely helps because time doesnt stop for anyone and im just not supposed to have time to get myself together even if its smthn that should take me a long time

#like god they hated us huh #every other major and school were allowed time to work on their thesis and stuff before senior year and all ours #was supposed to be done senior year #not even the whole thing we were supposed to be done with the majority of it in the first semester #i wasin classss until 7 pm half the week and too exhausted to do anything after #and then havingnto set up and do our own gallery om top of that #and the pieces for it too #and it was jus. a constant barrage of stress and anxiety and i shut down easily #and i think im still feeling through the effect of that being an entire YEAR but i feel like im not allowed to #and i canf voice this to family bc im just gonna sound lazy #its. augh. #and adding on classes wnere we had to rush everything for a few final credits #bc teachers werent hired until halfway through the semester and then they still gave the whole semesters worth of work #and its like i dont like this i do wanna do smthn with my time #i wanna work its just #the worlds scary it feels like every day theres stuff that like #should be workd stoppjng but im supposed to just keep going #idk. idk

#oh this is the pettiest Old Man Yells At Cloud ever #if you've followed me for a long time you know I am not 'in fandom' at all really #I'm an extremely casual fan of [IP redacted] and cannot get over how many people must like #EXPLICITLY go through the tumblr tags to reblog every post to...mention they've only sat through the first few eps? #not even a 'well I didn't like it' or anything just that they quit for Some Reason and might pick it back up someday #which is SUPER there's been like 100 eps since you dropped out and I want to know why you think people care where you stopped #to be clear I don't care if you liked it or don't I am no SuperFan I am a Casual Enjoyer who goes long stretches and then catches up #I'm just vexed and befuddled why all of these people think it's VITAL I know they haven't experienced a single ep in years? #it's SO MANY of them all commenting to say the exact same thing? #thank GOD you're here we were having a debate about something in Ep7 and needed someone who only vaguely remembers it in a contextless soup

The thing about a lot of the purity culture stuff is how it's also propped up by the anti-intelectualism. Which is how you get people earnestly Charlie-day-cork-board style arguing why anything they don't like has incest subtext, while insulting anyone who actually cares about analyzing real incest subtext.

It's also hard to do any serious analysis of the state of queer works, when the well has been so thoroughly poisoned between prople policing who gets to write/enjoy it, vs writers who see regular engagement with the premise of their writing as a threat.

#Like it's just surreal to read something with serious incestuous implications then go online #And it's verboten to even acknowledge it or you are evil - but reading the thing with incest subtext is fine bc it doesn't exist nope #Meanwhile the same fandom has wanked two unrelated characters into “like incest” but only if you ship them #And don't let my pfp fool you this isn't just about one fandom this has happened in every other fandom I've been in the last few years #I feel like I am losing my fucking mind lol #And yeah it does seem to be unfortunately related to how people see “representation” #Bc you will see people basically arguing that exploring queerness through fiction is inherent fetishization #Unless it's conforming to their strict Disney S&P department standards #And that this is to protect queers and stop the spread of ...degeneracy...yeah that is just 80's sex wars garbage lol #Meanwhile the primary argument made against this will be to claim that writing queer works is inherently radical #Regardless of context or quality or artist #And that they deserve praise and that criticism is just being a hater and those fags should be grateful to their genius actually and - #yeah that is just more conservative bullshit in a different hat #No you are not beyond reproach bc of your subject matter or identity no subject matter or identity are not inherently damning #It just feels like both of these “sides” are artificial and astroterfed so that we all lose either way #And I am so done with it lol like wtf why is everyone like this now

What do you do?

For a Klondike Bar?

#I'm secretary and PA for a medical school #and the school is so fucking disorganized idk how anything gets done there #basically every few weeks I have to do an orientation for the students and help then get assigned to go to various offices and hospitals #which requires a LOT of paperwork #if we're missing anything then it has to be resubmitted (and the school has never sent us everything we need even though it's been years) #and I also have to drive to like idk 30 different offices every week to pick up student grades #because they have to be graded by hand and sent to the school physically #and we've had upwards of 70 students at a time rotating #so that's 70 stacks of documents I have to sift through #and 70 grades I have to hand out to the doctors teaching the student and pick them up #it's a lot of computer work and a lot of driving basically #me and my co-worker used to split it but now there's only me and the medical director and manager #it's hell but the benefits outweighed the stress for a time #just not anymore #ask
