#why are people so picky

"I gave up on the percy jackson series" stfu.

Uncle Rick worked hard on a production that represented everything he originally stood for: his son.

He did not create this world for us, he did not create these characters FOR US. This was his way of helping his son. He made this world, the books, the show, for his son. Not us.

All Uncle Rick ever has been is an amazing father and an amazing writer.

"The casting and show didn't meet my personal preferences" then stop fucking watching. It's not for you. The entire reason this world exists is because a father loved his son so much that he felt he deserved more than just what he loved, but deserved something entirely new created for him.

I'm so sick of people acting as if the riordanverse should meet up to their personal standards. In uncle Rick's eyes, the series is already as perfect as it could possibly get. He is the reason for all the changes, because not only is he trying to make a remake to represent everything it was originally created for, but he's also trying to accommodate for the current media and viewers out there. He is doing everything in his power to make this a good thing, and yet every week there is a new article with the title "Rick Riordan faces criticism on new Percy Jackson Episode". Like did he put all that fucking work in for nothing?! You guys have been begging for an accurate adaption for years, you finally get one, and all you do is scrutinise it? It's just so fucking stupid.

Okay, rant over now, goodnight.

hbomb's blast of james somerton really makes me think back to other older youtubers who have been doing their good work, performing critical research and analyses into niche fields who then had their work plagiarized from their videos and henceforth wanted to stop making content.

yeah and also they got pushback from the internet saying the degree of plagiarism they'd experienced is a made up problem.

this is a sideways post.

#THIS IS A SIDEWAYS POST #hbomberguy #james somerton #sideways440 #plagiarism #academia #youtube drama #SO IF YOU GUYS DON'T KNOW SIDEWAYS440 #HE DOES VIDEO ESSAYS OF MUSIC ANALYSES FROM GENRES TO SPECIFIC SONGS TO EVEN DISNEY MUSICALS #AND I HAVE BEEN PISSED EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT WHY HE STOPPED MAKING VIDEOS #BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO I ENJOY VIDEO ESSAYS FROM GRAVELY #LIKE IDW NO SHADE BUT I COULD NOT RIGHT NOW WITH THE BREADTUBE CLIMATE #I NEED SUBSTANCE ABOUT NON SOCIAL ISSUES I NEED LITERARY ANALYSES ABOUT NOT-BOOKS DESPERATELY #AND NOT-GAMES AND NOT-MOVIES I AM THAT PICKY

it IS weird that the general consensus on twelve is that peter capaldi is an excellent actor but his episodes are bad (esp in comparison to the general consensus on series 5 being that it's some of the best the show gets) bc i am overall really enjoying series 8, a lot more than the last 3

#eleven had a bunch of episodes that were just hard to follow and thus hard (for me) to emotionally engage in #twelve is awful to people and this does deeply suck sometimes esp when it's just very unneeded #like insulting danny's intelligence or being randomly mean to courtney (what would i give for her and twelve to be given more time #and fleshed out a bit. why does he initially take her into the tardis? can we see more of that?) #but god. is mr capaldi bringing his 1000% everything to this role #those monologues ohhh yeah baby. all the episodes are leaning into the doctor feeling their age and the weight of the universe #w not much left to shield themself from that. so like. i buy it. he's just so fun to watch #and i know he gets like. progressively nicer as his era goes on so i have that to look forward to #dr who #i am being picky abt how clara is written bc im now measuring her against the standards of martha and donna #two of my fav characters in the whole show. by m*ffat standards s8 clara is blowing everybody out of the water #12 era

I’ve been dating and I try not to dress my absolute best for meetups bc I don’t like to be held to that standard but it’s so difficult bc I slay too hard in everything I wear 😔

#ok real tea in the tags tho #im also not so excited about this date. but im just like this so I try to give people a chance #like. im never excited about it. ~just aro things~ #not in a demi way even tbh. they’re plenty attractive. im just very picky and judgemental w potential partners #bc I don’t want to trust new people and open up #but I feel kinda bad about how harsh and uninterested I am #I do try which is why I like to give people a chance. sometimes it works out #but I never really want to #aro agonies

Do you think Ace would put photos of him holding Luffy like a lasso on his tinder profile

Yes. And I also think Ace would put photos of him doing the stupidest things on his Tinder profile. And also lots of nudes and gym bro style types of pictures. He's a fucking loser. I don't even like men and I don't even use Tinder but if I ever saw him there I would instantly think he's a fucking idiot. Which he is. Wouldn't date him even if I liked men (basing this on his Tinder profile only). He's obsessed with making thirst traps and looking hot and somehow it works for him because he has the biggest transmasc and older brother rizz ever. That doesn't make him any less of an idiot though.

#i think sabo would have the best tinder profile but he doesn't even need it anyway #but also i think sabo is too picky to be on tinder #like his first questions would be about politics #sabo on his first date: aw you look gorgeous. also. what are your views on slavery and do you think the monarchy should be abolished #but then again why would he need a tinder profile he already has a girlfriend thank you #ace on the other hand is just there to fuck people so #and he's extremely hot so he'd have the best time of his life there #that doesn't make him any less of a loser though #one piece #portgas d. ace #asl brothers

I might be ~quirky~ for this (welcome to my twisted mind and etc) but I genuinely have so much fun with shipping nowadays, ever since I chose to be singleship for each muse. I feel like my adhd has never allowed me to pour even half as much care and attention into a ship as I'd have loved to when I had multiple ones at the same time per muse, so being able to focus on a single romantic dynamic per muse really feels like a weight off my shoulders

#* ooc. / posts. #I also know my adhd is all over the place so at times I may go a few months w/o bringing that specific muse (and thus ship) up #(unless you approach me in dms; in which case my mind typically instantly goes !!! on the muse & ship) #so I'm INCREDIBLY touched whenever my ship partners agree to be singleship w me. It's truly such an honor and blessing to me #and I feel like it's much easier for my muse to get very attached when their romantic attention only goes to a single person; #so you can best believe that from the moment we start shipping your portrayal will ALWAYS. and I mean /ALWAYS/ be intertwined with mine #doesn't matter if you drop the muse or leave tumblr or stop writing altogether. your muse will Always be my muse's special someone #I've had tons of ships where my partner disappeared off the face of the earth one day and yet all I've done was change 'singleship' #to 'noship' bc my muse's heart to this day (several irl years later) continues to be with their portrayal; REFUSING to look at anyone else #Granted this is also why I'm so picky with shipping; in the sense that I let my muse lead the way til they fall in love #and only THEN do I ask the mun if they're fine w our muses being a thing (and thus being singleship w me) #I used to say yes to people just asking to ship and while I know that's a neat option too; I simply. Cannot do that these days ADGHSAJDSDK #nothing against anyone nor against that route; but I've had a good share of ships that crumbled or made me lose muse bc my muse wasn't #feeling the ship. so I'm no longer going ahead unless the muse falls first and makes ME start shipping it rather than the other way around #and that decision has unironically made me feel so light and comfortable here AHDSAJDSKDJ #AH NEY WAYZ!! I need to be sedated bc why am I awake at 11 am. I HAVE NOT SLEPT.

Alright, I've been mulling on this for most of the day, and unless a night's sleep changes my mind, I'll be working on returning (remaking) a very old multimuse of mine, that used to be over at iniziare. The blog will be entirely remade, and I'll post it here when it's done!

For those wondering, it will for now house: Guizhong, Yelan, Kafka and Arlecchino. Time to finish up that other WIP theme for this, I suppose! See you guys on the flip-side of this brighter future.

#[ ooc. ] don't try to make it logical or edit your soul according to the fashion. rather; follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly. #[ honestly-- it's just a wiser choice for me. i don't know why i didn't make it sooner. i ran a multimuse successfully for /years/ before. #[ i'm immensely organized to a point where a multimuse is perfectly easy to handle. and i'll return to my theme maker roots soon. ] #[ and add extra organization when i've found my apartment and everything and can spend the time on making something perfect... ] #[ for how i operate. but that'll be the future. i can work with something simpler in the meantime. ] #[ outside of that-- i think preconceived notions of multis are in the past and if they're not; i've never let that stop me. ] #[ i also will feel like i'm not leaving muses behind as much. i hate not logging onto the other blogs. i truly do. i hate it. ] #[ i feel like i'm neglecting them while i'm not. but this way i'll have them all grouped up. all together in one place. actively /there/. ] #[ and that makes me much happier. ] #[ and also; i tag so thoroughly for each muse that people can easily blacklist those they don't like to see. ] #[ but also i'm so picky with new muses; it'll be fine. ]

keep seeing this author advertise her books with "found family" when what she means is straight people falling in love and getting married that's not a found family that's like. a traditional nuclear family

#maybe the 'found family' isn't the main couple #but when it's first and foremost a romance and you market it as found family....... #I realize this is probably partially because I am very much not the target audience of these kinds of books #but in general marketing books using tropes just feels kinda lazy to me #tropes are tropes because they're so common like why would I read your enemies to lovers or found family story #when there are SO many other ones out there #but hey maybe if I read more I wouldn't be so picky #and if the type of people who go crazy for this kind of marketing are reading a lot of books #I guess that's ultimately a good thing

okay but isn't this exactly how it went down:

5sos: *doesn't do collaborations much*

michael: yeah we collectively have this severe anxiety no one likes us

halsey:

roy:

calum's sister and gf both being musicians:

taylor swift inviting them to birthday her party in 2019:

the chainsmokers, being the only ones ever to convince them otherwise who INVITED THEM ON AN ENTIRE TOUR:

galantis: that was the best collaboration I've ever done! blew my mind how nice you guys are and how I learned from you this new experience of being able to be myself as a musician and not pressured by deadlines,, not having rules that 'it must be so'

michael: *still busy stressing about that one snare drum beat*

#michael clifford #galantis #rolling stone interview #lighter #5sos #5 seconds of summer #luke hemmings #ashton irwin #calum hood #okay at least michael talked about learning he can let go of these things and people like them?? bestie that's why you need collabs more #am literally doing the exact same thing as michael with my music rn though #sorry for the plain text. tried chat font and i can't with that much slab serif im sorry im an american typewriter for titles only girlie #did i just out myself as a typeface nerd? i think so. design school rewires your brain. or attracts the most picky neurodivergents

so fucking upset. i looked up what's considered concerning weight loss and got a statistic. i looked up the same question but specified teens and i got a bunch of articles about how to lose weight. what the fuck

#tw weight loss #? idk if that tags necessary but better safe than sorry #past this point there is discussion of ARFID and stuff #LMFAO also ive had a medium to mild case of ARFID my entire life and no one noticed past concern for my pickiness #i say medium to mild because ive gotten better recently #i even ate half a bowl of the noodles i dont like the other day. AND they had been touched by shrimp & cabbage juice & soft peanuts #i mean i did drown them in soy sauce first and got nauseous thinking about it the rest of the day. but progress #i mean. im the type of person to skip a meal or barely eat because i dont like the food available or its too loud where i am #my adhd impacts it too like sometimes ill forget to eat or wont be able to make anything that day #but like goddamn. a growing child should be gaining weight. 'we should keep an eye on that' every single time and then no action #you know maybe thats part of why my body hurts sometimes and feels weird and shaky other times #its hard to tell based on how bony i am or whatever because i also naturally am a string bean and im not. like. starving myself #i get the same comments about how i should eat more and how im so skinny when im healthy and when im not #or i used to. people are generally less intrusive now that im older #gosh i need to flex my metaphorical brain muscles more i put way too much thought into the wording of this

Admin: which teammate do you pick to cook your Thanksgiving dinner?

Alpey, who has brought his own baked goods for the team before; therefore, should have the most credibility and trust to be skilled in the kitchen: *happily suggests himself as the best option for jabari*

Jabari:

#jabari is like the kind of person who works a 15 hr shift then complains abt her tired they are #and how they cant sleep bcs they have so much to do around the house #but wont let their husband cook for them bcs they want to do it themselves then complain abt having to do it themselves #moms who start vacuuming the house at 4am then complain about how theres no one helping #'MOVE. ILL JUST DO THE DAMN THING MYS E L F !' #*2 seconds after scaring charity away* why do i have to do everything myself.' #the trials and tribulations of the stubborn control freak #he later says 'im not letting anyone else cook my food for me. (i pick) me. jabari.' #just tearing out alpeys heart and stomping on it 😭 #picky ass eater who loves luxury jabari vs expired yogurt and carmel and chocolate syrup drizzled over it to feel fanciful alpey #bite #to the death #they literally asked this question last year??? before they banished gup to the gallows #alpey: alperen şengün 😄!!! ✨️ 🩵🩵 #jabari: 😐 #jabari (no grey matter): kill yourse- #why do they keep doing this to each other #alpey is the playful beloved family dog whos always in the room with the most people being pet 24/7 for being there & sweet #and jabari is the odd and aloof cat who has sporadic springs of affection and wacky affection #and will usually show himself when hes about to cause trouble for no apparent reason at no apparent schedule #like creeping over to a sleeping alpey and skippity papping him in the head without rhyme warning or reason #then taking off #zero apology or context given

fanfiction belief/pet peeve/idk what to call it but when it comes to writing an existing character for a fanfiction, i think it is super important for the author to have a good grasp on who the character is on a fundamental level. when you understand who a character is within canon, it makes it a lot easier to then make changes to them that feel natural (unless you are knowingly making an ooc version which then more power to you, go wild). as a reader at least, it can super take me out of a story if a character behaves in a way that just does not make sense to the way they are characterized in canon without there being time taken to establish how/why they have changed

#just random thoughts #people can write what they want but i think that’s why i can be so picky with fics in really any fandom

[radiantmists]

always makes me laugh in vague annoyance when i see the night we met on a character/ship playlist and they're clearly going for the moody ghosty aesthetic, but they've just as clearly never listened to any other lord huron because there are several other lord huron songs that fit that ship infinitely better

#im honestly so mad it was on thirteen reasons why #bc i really liked it but now i think about that every time #yes im 'name three of their songs'-ing these people but like. im begging you #also this why i dont make good ship playlists im too picky #lord huron

Say it with me: Sirius hates Death Eaters, but not Slytherins. Informing the trio that Snape hung out with a gang of Death Eaters was informing the trio that their teacher at one point was totally chill with murdering blood purists and called them friends (you know, totally relevant info with Voldemort on the rise, one person in the trio being the Boy-Who-Lived, a Muggleborn in the group, and the other member being relayed to a family well-known as blood-traitors. It’s rather important for them to know who believes in blood purity and who doesn’t, esp in light of everything occurring in GOF), and explained how he knew them as they were in the same house. And, whether one likes it or not, Slytherin house has the highest number of blood purists that we see, that’s simply canon. We can debate about why this is the case all day long, but the facts remain that Slytherin house has a slew of baby bigots and adult bigots as alumni.

(Also, some people are really weird about insults to the Hogwarts Houses. It is fiction, you will never be in them and while you might have traits of one house, normal people have traits of every house)

ha one of the things i find funniest is when people got mad at j*r for being mean to the slyths as if there’s some overarching moral code that says authors can’t do that lol like,,,,i love those lil fuckers (in all generations, across characterisations and magical alignments) but you HAVE to admit the nature & nurture is sus in that one.

also +1 to everything ur saying about sirius. u know i love ur arguments, anon.

#literary critique can be so funny #i also do not have an iota of continuity within me #bc im so generally picky #and base everything off vibes #so maybe i am the problem #but generally. beyond the valid bigotry critiques. i can’t take a lot of what people say ab the books seriously #bc so much of it is just. ‘why is the book suspending disbelief’ ‘why is the book using literary tropes’ etc etc #anyway that’s irrelevant #point is: sirius is a babe #a hot. extremely intelligent. prepared. powerful. babe #*nods* my most imp contribution of the day #pen’s asks

the absolute vicious shit people think they have to say whenever the topic of 'picky eaters' comes up ESPECIALLY when it's about children is just sickening

#post : my child doesn't like carrots so I #rando : WELL I WOULD JUST *describes a thousand different ways to abuse a child* AND IM THE NORMAL ONE HERE #adult : i can't eat fish because #rando : LMAO GROW UP WHAT ARE YOU 5 FUCKING IDIOT LOL JUST STARVE FISH HAS GOOD VITAMINS JUST KYS #have y'all tried not being dicks about other people's diets ffs #especially when it's like. a video showing how a parent is successfully introducing new foods to their picky kid #like Oh they only like cheese crackers so i'm gradually nudging them towards grilled cheese sandwiches with these steps #and then hopefully use the grilled cheese as a base to introduce other types of sandwiches etc #and it's just. it works. it's respectful of the kid's boundaries. it's healthy. #and Still a thousand people just jump to say INSTEAD OF DOING THIS THING THAT WORKS TRY BEATING HIS ASS (WHICH WONT WORK) #so many people are fucking eager to tell you they Love violence against kids who have no way to defend themselves #that they're fucking sludgebrains who haven't come up with actual parenting techniques #so all they know is ''hit child'' or ''yell'' like a fucking level 1 pokémon #that they view the small young people they have agreed to take care of as dolls that must obey or get thrown against the wall in a tantrum #if your entire plans for parenting are ''i'm just gonna use violence until my human toything complies'' don't become a fucking parent #Anyway this was about picky eating and how people don't know how to mind their business about it #why are you so pressed about what someone else Doesn't put in their mouth. why are you so weird #humans come with a variety of tastes in anything from fashion to colors to home decor to favorite animal #and you can't fucking fathom that they'll also Not all want or like to eat the same things ? fucking cringe

Look at me. LOOK at me. Old growth forests are important. Their loss is violence against the land.

BUT that isn’t a reason to point at younger, perfectly healthy closed canopy forests and claim they’re ecologically insignificant or bad. Their sparse understory is a function of closed canopy forests. Even old growth forests will have sparse understories if the canopy is closed. That’s how photosynthetic strata works.

The west coast has vastly different forests and history than the east. The rare volcanic eruption that made the giant stands of Douglas fir in the west possible would be literally impossible here. Our species are adapted for stand replacing fires set by indigenous peoples to drive deer and rejuvenate oak. Oak as a genus is dying here. We can’t set fires. We can’t harvest patches large enough to simulate a fire. Our deer are overpopulated and browse down every sprout that dares to reach for sunlight.

Making a sweeping ban on clear-cut and similarly ‘scary’ harvests would kill them for good. The restrictions on fire have nearly done that to species like Jack and pitch pine that rely heavily on fire to establish. They’ve been relegated to pine barrens and the rare sandy forest clearing. Our fire Cherry, thankfully, can last decades in the soil seedbank. You can only see them the first few decades after a large, complete harvest and then they die.

What’s good for one forest kills another. Not all trees are made ecologically equal - and that’s a very good thing. All trees and forests have their ecological value. Management of one forest is never applicable to other forests; they all have their own unique histories and communities that should be imitated when possible and left alone when not.

#ra speaks #personal #forest #forestry #I wanna agree w old growth forest folks so bad but then they turn around and say shit like ‘there is NEVER a good reason to clearcut’ #babes the kirt warbler would like to argue. bitches need 10-15 ft Jack pine to nest in. they’re picky. #you ain’t getting 10-15 ft Jack pine without a large. stand replacing. disturbance. #*shaking Californians by the shoulders* THERE IS MORE FOREST TO THE WORLD THAN DOUGLAS FIR. WHY ARENT YOU PROTECTING THE CLIFFSIDE CEDARS? #we have cedars on this coast that are OLD GROWTH. nobody but weird tree ppl seem to care bc THEYRE UGLY AF AND SMALL. #that doesn’t mean they’re ‘not old growth’ #gosh do NOT even get me started on the semantics of old growth #and like. yeah we can’t replace old growth in the west BUT NOT BC PLANTATIONS HAVE A HARVEST SCHEDULE. #it’s because the original old growth only exists bc a VOLCANIC ERUPTION wiped out most everything else and laid a nice bed of ash #for the seedlings to establish in. id rather a shitty plantation keep a 50-60 ur harvest schedule on a single piece of land #than have them slowly chip away at literally irreplaceable trees in the name of #‘sustainable forestry’ babe there is no sustaining the western old growth. either a volcano decides to give it a fresh start or not #I hate hate hate the eternal-ness ppl have attached to forests they are not here for you they aren’t even here for species that rely on them #they’re here bc a long time ago nothing else was. they’re here bc the soil was just right. they’re here bc the people before respected that #but also understood their power to shape the landscape. and in doing so they created diversity rarely seen this far north. #sorry. it’s been a day. needed a good rant.
