#which I like... feel is misguided

[obstinatecondolement]

Try though I may not to get invested in people who are Perfect Strangers to me just because they have an affable online persona, I do find myself very endeared to Brandon Sanderson. I have read none of his books, but I think his YouTube videos are very enjoyable and I am much relieved that he has both vocally affirmed his support of LGBTQ+ people in general, and trans people specifically, and has apologised (in a way that seems very sincere and earnest to me) for clumsy and unintentionally homophobic things he has said in the past. Which is, like, more than can be said of some fantasy authors.

#I knew vaguely that he was a member of the church of lds and was like... wary #but he seems to be taking the position that if mormonism is going to get less hostile to lgbtq+ people #that can only be accomplished by sincerely devout lgbtq+ allies staying in the church and making it a more inclusive and welcoming place #which I like... feel is misguided #but also I was not raised mormon and do not have a mormon spouse and family and I am not a sincere believer in the mormon faith #so it is very easy for me to say 'just don't be a mormon anymore' #he also says some stuff I feel is reeeally misguided about how it's good actually that dead people can be baptized mormon #and that mother theresa was good #and communism is bad #but like... I think he is a sincere and kind person who is trying his best #and I appreciate the honesty of him saying 'I believe these things and I won't pretend I don't' #I like when people don't humour me and really do try to be my ally instead of just repeating the party line so I don't think they're Bad #and given that his views on the queer community have evolved #I don't think it's impossible that he could realize a few years down the line that it is not okay to baptize the dead into your religion #but also as I said up top: brandon sanderson is a complete stranger to me and I should not devote this much time and mental energy #to trying to better understand his true character‚ values and beliefs #because that is not relevant to me or something I can ever know #@me just enjoy him being enthusiastic about writing fantasy novels on youtube in an unreflective and uncomplicated way‚ you big weirdo

Do any of the dipper incarnations get jealous of the first incarnation? :3

#answers #This requires them to know that THEY are a reincarnation #Which most of them don't #But those who do certainly think about Bill's other lover/husband and wonders how they compare #With a spectrum of mopey to outright jealous to 'well I bet he sucked anyway. I'm better. (right?)' #Bill finds this deeply amusing but obviously will never explain why #Like his human is staring in a mirror and wondering if he'll ever be able to look like THAT guy #He's adorably misguided in his feelings and Bill is Not Helping

actually my roman empire is juan borgia's greatest fear being that his family would dislike and abandon him then they ironically ended up doing exactly what he had dreaded the most and it's his family not just hating him but also metaphorically dancing on his grave without even a hint of sentimentality

#the idea of him losing himself in the pressure of the role and the rumors of that he might not be rodrigo's son drove him insane and extreme #like the key concern of his paternity and through that and through the way in which he lets down his family over... #even when he genuinely wanted to protect them but he absolutely did it in a very misguided way #he loved lucrezia and even cesare despite everything and wanted to join their inc&st polycule like that's so compelling to me!! #and just when he wanted a reconciliation with him and opening up to him and pouring his heart out to him #cesare hits him with the very decidedly (and hypocritically) “we're borgias we never forgive” exclusion in his final moment #knowing well that he struggled with the feeling of not being a “true borgia” and cesare knows it and deliberately said it to hurt him extra #then later cesare was begging ''forgiveness'' from rodrigo lmao #juan's character is eternally amusing i fear it's been 11 years now #juan borgia #the borgias #david oakes #text post

re: recent discussion of cozy fantasy

Looking at some lists that popped up when I searched cozy fantasy/sci fi, I've read precisely half of this goodreads list: https://www.goodreads.com/blog/show/2496-36-cozy-and-feel-good-fantasy-and-sci-fi-books

and they are:

The House in the Cerulean Sea: quit your soul-destroying job! find emotionally fulfilling work with misfit children!

Legends and Lattes: slice-of-life coffeeshop, minor romance

Witchmark: traumatized veteran working as a doctor, finds romance and government exploitation

The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet: slice of life on a spaceship

A Psalm for the Wild-Built: monk and robot hang out and talk philosophy

Paladin's Grace: fantasy romance

Silver in the Wood: fae romance

The Goblin Emperor: abused young man unexpectedly inherits an empire, struggles

The Spare Man: mystery in space, with added romance

Piranesi: abstract, literary sort of novel about a strange man living in a strange place

A Marvelous Light: fantasy romance

Unnatural Magic: fantasy romance

All Systems Red: sci-fi action with comedic narrator

Stardust: fairy-tale-like fantasy

Half a Soul: fairy-tale-like fantasy romance

Nettle and Bone: fantasy novel, whimsical narrator

The Curse of Chalion: historical fantasy, political drama and war and curses?

Howl's Moving Castle: comedic, also for children

I think the major elements here are:

A) Books that are as much romances as fantasies, and so place more weight on emotional/character conclusions than plot ones

B) Book with a clear narrative voice, comedic or snarky or whimisical

C) Hurt/Comfort

D) Looser focus, seeing more day-to-day than tightly focused on the plot

I think all these books meet at least one criteria, and most meet multiple. That said, I'm baffled at the inclusion of some of these books, in particular Curse of Chalion, which opens with the protagonist having narrowly escaped slavery with scarring so bad people assume it was done as a penalty for child molestation, and then proceeds to political drama around the joining of fantasy!Castille and fantasy!Aragon, periodically interrupted by divine cancer.

Also, while Unnatural Magic is certainly not following conventional fantasy novel plot weights, the vibe it's going for is less "cozy" and more, uh, "horny"

#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

today's controversial take is that i honestly hate the disability pride flag. every time i see it i get mad

#lifeblogs #like in the name of making it accessible they just made it ugly which is honestly not the message i personally want to send #and also the stripes all standing for different categories of disability is like. questionable at the best of times #but the fact that there are separate stripes for 'neurodivergency' and 'mental illness' but only one for physical disability #is. i think. a lot. #also i've definitely talked to people who get headaches from the new one and not the old one so it's like. #well. perhaps acting like accessibility is universal. is ALSO A PROBLEM #like. the zigzag is an epilepsy risk either way to be clear. #but like. when it's just the straight lines. the 'you Must Use the desaturated version' feels. misguided #like you cannot make a flag that's accessible to every single person. you cannot make anything that's accessible to every single person #WHATEVER. #i am also not really convinced we need a flag but you know

Do you guys ever think about how (as far as we know) c!Tubbo arguably made the right choice by deciding to never open up to c!Ranboo... Because c!Ranboo (when Enderwalking) retains all his memories and works alongside c!Dream anyway. So although c!Tubbo doesn't know it, his paranoia is actually keeping him safe, because the less info c!Ranboo knows the less he has the ability to tell c!Dream... Not that c!Ranboo necessarily would, but it sucks that like... c!Tubbo probably beats himself up for not wanting to share anything with his sweet and loyal husband, not even knowing that sharing the wrong stray detail about c!Tommy could have caused something disastrous. Like c!Tubbo was right to be a closed book and that shit hurts to think about!!!

#i need Ranboo to explain cRanboo so bad. #one of the only things i care about anymore. pls just tell me why a version of cRanboo with all his memories WHICH BTW #HIS MEMORIES WOULD INCLUDE THE DISC FINALE. Why that version of cRanboo would willingly help cDream. #Even IF cDream went ''oh i wasnt really gonna kill Tubbo it was staged also its good that New Lmanberg was exploded by me'' #and even IF cRanboo wasnt told why the prison tnt needed to be set off & therefore didnt know hed be hurting cTommy #how could he work with someone who he knows has hurt cTubbo like that. If he genuinely cared. #and i think about that a LOT a lot bc like. We see all these glimpses of cRanboo just... not listening to what cTubbo is saying. #the warning about cWilbur in ho16 is a good example but also just about history and Lmanberg in general... cRanboo sort of gives off the #vibe that he thinks he knows better than cTubbo does. That he thinks he knows what cTubbo needs and what's best for him #but also that he like... idk i just have thought about it a lot and worryingly i think he could become similar to c!Technoblade eventually. #Not in the ''violence is the only universal language'' way but in the way of like ''as soon as someone doesnt agree w my ideals and feels #differently than I do they have lost my respect and protection until they Prove themself and Earn it back'' type deal. not NOW i dont think #cRanboo is like that NOW but... Everyone always says ''cRanboo grow a backbone'' but he DID... While enderwalking. #ew!Ranboo is him with a backbone and apparently the him with a backbone does not care if he hurts his loved ones. #like cRanboo is part of the problem of people brushing aside cTubbo's grief and pain like it doesnt matter. cRanboo helping cDream has the #same energy as cJack trying to kill cTommy. this sort of ''he'll get over it'' mentality about cTubbo that assumes that just because he HAS #in the past been able to ''bounce back'' from indescribable loss that means things dont bother him or he can do it easily #so like. i do believe cRanboo isnt unsalvageable. i think the parts of him WE see are very much just misguided and not intentionally #hurtful. but sometimes i think abt Ranboo saying he was gonna make it so no one could be an apologist for cRanboo and I think like #what Memory does ew!Ranboo regaun that suddenly makes it fine for him to hurt his loved ones? for ''Dream Is The Reason'' to completely #disappear for him? is cDream offering him something he cant refuse or god forbid does ew!Ranboo just AGREE with him? #that to me is like. Once i know that i can be at peace. thats like one of the only things I'll be genuinely upset if it isnt explained #bc when i tell you it has been haunting me for like a year. #ok sorry for the rant and sorry boobers if i messed up some lore details lol #doodle.txt

also insisting msr was platonic was homophobic bc arguing that mulder and scully’s relationship had no romance to it because can’t a guy and a gal just be friends implies that if mulder and scully were both cis men or both cis women and they acted the same no one would be arguing that it was a romance but that’s untrue. they would just be gay for each other. the romance of their relationship transcends gender. them being canonically cishet only aided in making them popular, not in dictating the fact that their love is also romantic.

#at the risk of sounding like a conservative #like can't a guy and a gal just be in love #esp nowadays i feel that there can be a real misguided pushback to het relationships #(which also ties into biphobia bc ofc sexuality is never addressed. we just assume they're both het bc there's nothing to the opposite) #within the queer community bc so often they're just thrown in and do a disservice to all romance #but just bc two (apparent) cishets are in love with each other is not a dig at queer people #like arguably mulder and scully did just as much for queer people as like... the odd couple #or golden girls #it broke down gender barriers in tv yk #anyways like yes men and women can obviously be friends but demonizing sex and romance is not it either!! #i know i don't need to say all this though lol we all agree #txf

sallies _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):_

#edit: don’t read all this I went on a fucking rant #like seriously it’s incoherent musings on my silly meme post #sally’s weird. never know how to feel abt her #I know a few sallies actually. most emotionally intelligent kindest ppl I’ve ever met. supported me when shit went to fuck #but also?? the least aware motherfuckers I’ve ever had the misfortune of talking politics with #it’s like. they’ll support you emotionally physically whatever . in a way that fellow activists don’t #bc we’re all too fucking tired #but they can’t comprehend large scale events #they’re the type to like. go to war to comfort the dying but somehow view the war as a distraction from that #n I don’t know if that’s fine. if it’s reprehensible. if it’s a necessary service to those who DO fight #I’m not even calling them fairweather really. bc they’ll stick around. just in a different sort of way #part of me hates them n part of me admires that they stay anyway. misguided as they might be #bc personal kindness is radical too in a way #but at the same time… is it enough. is anything ever enough #I don’t know which part wins. depends on the day I guess #I know a few sallies. I’m even friends with a couple. n I have no idea how to feel abt that #sorry for the musings I’m just really fuckin. in the shitter rn abt apathy towards genocide #n naturally that’s leading me back to this show. again #real tags time I guess #sanders art tag #cabaret #musical theatre #sally bowles #this is. jane horrocks sally :)

ugh i GUESS i’ll meta abt camney (any opinions from like season two onwards are all absorbed through reading the public discourse abt it i haven’t actually seen it so like take it with a grain of salt i might be a little off)

idk as someone who was very anti-camney from the get-go it’s wild to see how poorly it’s been written continuously and even how their ending was just so lackluster. for a relationship that’s meant to be the primary love interest of the show it really just undermined the plot (in season one at least imo, it seems the trend continued from what i’ve read) and was pre-installed shock value; cutting cameron’s scenes in season one was perhaps one of the most devastating blows to the series overall because it expected us as the viewer to play along with the idea that cameron was just a Nice Boy, despite the show itself never really deciding a direction or angle for him. it felt like he didn’t have an arc because they cut everything but the bare bones of his character for season one, leaving the audience confused and without a foundation for his motives, which is entirely different from writing him as a mysterious son of a villain because the show’s writing really SEEMED like it was trying to talk about cameron’s motive and origin but the ridiculous amount of contradictions and cutting that happened meant that it said nothing at all about cameron

and maybe the end of season 2 and season 3 talked about it more maybe there’s more emphasis on cameron’s reasoning and his beliefs and more intrigue as to why him and courtney actually LIKE each other, but their foundational meeting and introduction feels so fabricated i don’t know how much retconning of season one and prior can fix the miswriting/editing of their relationship at its core

#stargirl #idk i feel like how they wrote cameron and camney was such a misstep given the fact she’s the MAIN CHARACTER #the way he’s portrayed to the audience is incredibly misguided because the show can’t decide if they want us to believe in camney or not #which is a bad move! you as a show should have a stance on the main relationship! you are writing the relationship! #it can’t decide if we as the audience should be viewing it as tragic young lovers or the major otp or if we should see cameron as deranged #and that’s bad! and sadly they’re not writing some really intriguing love story they’re being so adamantly vague to play to all sides #and it’s bad writing. we should say it it is just bad writing #like genuinely the show almost sets up cindy to be her love interest instead of cameron. it’s crazy like the only difference is that the sho #believes that you should believe they (camney) like each other. that’s it #man it’s so frustrating there’s so much more they could have done if they didn’t write it this way but it really hindered the show #anti camney #eleanor.txt

It's just a big key. Or a small key. I guess it's symbolic? And you prepour the yardy, it's just real long so people help you tip it up to drink. And it is miserable! It's bizzare that we glorify drinking! Getting so fucked up isn't something to celebrate!

Anyways, my countries 21st traditions are dumb, happy birthday, have a little treatie instead

ok so that does confirm my suspicions the key is mostly random. I think it's fine to get like moderately fucked up but way too many people put themselves in severe danger by overdrinking at their 21st bday bash and for like what lol so you can risk never reaching your 22nd birthday?

#asks #i think a lot of it has to do w the like. Pressure of #''wow youre finally 21 you should really go all out'' which feels Misguided at Best

speaking of “what else is new” the eternal genre of Takes available online or off through any platform that go like “this hangup / issue people can have can impede the success of like, connection & relationships & other aspects of someone’s life” like oh groundbreaking insight, go on. & then the conclusion is just “And That’s Bad” generally through like, criticizing any hypothetical individuals in a “have you considered that that’s bad? have you considered stopping? why haven’t you? sounds like a lack of Individual Responsibility...and maybe...You Suck??” vein like oh, again, groundbreaking. and it’s fast easy & free [sense of righteousness] i guess b/c it’s like oh i’m just helping, are you saying it’s Good / Better to have to struggle with / be impeded by xyz issues hmm? and like “here i am up on the cross >:)” satisfaction if anyone’s disagreeing lol like not only am i correct but ppl Hate it so it’s gotta be cutting edge, rather than it’s like, this is the most basic, well-trodden ground possible here. people hear about the notion of Ableism, resent the idea this might be a complicated thing to engage with requiring effort (but will also complain that idk it’s not serious b/c oh alllll people want to do is unreasonably issue a list of frowned upon language. like yes that’s all that exists and it must be frivolous vs being if nothing else an exercise in asking someone to shift their perspective / framework around taken for granted ideas) and then be like “well enough is enough (hasn’t done anything) i think this has gone too far & have we considered that it sucks to be depressed?? what about the people Dealing with other people dealing with issues who are doing everything right by being Not Mentally Ill but burdened or punished by the mental illness of others. not Their responsibility” like yes if we keep this in the realm of Individual Responsibility Apolitical Vibing then we can just call it a day. what does anyone expect the “absolutely demolishing these hypothetical Complacent mentally ill people, one issue at a time until everyone learns they should strive to be normal” to accomplish here. like oh enough, nay, Too Much consideration of Supporting anyone out here. i think it’s time we turned to voicing Disapproval & even moral judgment condemnation of these hypothetical individuals. can’t argue with that unless, what, you Want people to have problems? you think it’s good and right to potentially harm other people / make interpersonal relationships more difficult??? sounds like someone has some growing up to do 9_9 lmfao like again. just visionary & groundbreaking insights which is why this approach has kept being continuously reinvented here & everywhere else this whole time. like how would this relevantly / helpfully apply to the Reality of anyone’s situation on any side of anything. vs like well at least some people will be mad about This one, good posting

#ppl going ''hmm what a hugely complex topic tied to all other aspects of our lives...which'd be Resolved if everyone had My Common Sense'' #take it back on this site by a decade like ppl going ''trans people on tumblr are so unreasonable'' & ''tumblr's so Anti Recovery'' #the catchphrase of like. idfk ''recovering'' to a state of being nt i guess. b/c that's The Way & how it works for absolutely everyone #like of course there's gonna be idk Takes abt how to hypothetically Support ppl's struggles that'd be deemed Mental Health Issues which are #in turn at least Potentially counterproductive / unfounded/misguided but like. well throw the whole matter out then right #forget everyone in turn having to struggle through ongoing efforts to support Other People in this realm & plenty of others; theoretically #just say it Sucks of people to make other people deal with / be negatively affected by their Issues & who could disagree? toxicity gang?? #or even just the vague implication that if it's Extra Effort put on Normal People who are acting correctly then that's bad too #cue any ideas that like. if friends are too much effort in [pick any way you could interpret that] it's Bad #or really if they're Any effort it can be seen as bad. you Are a romcom protagonist & friends Are unconditional nonstop backup #i think if going ''have you considered that you suck'' at people hard enough would bestow w/e concept of perf Mental Health uponst them #then we'd've been all set by now...and does everyone really think that the like. call it mainstream ideas abt Good Relationships and/or #Good Communication are universal & objective & immutable & everyone agrees on those standards already right now #and like.
