#you can see how that might be an issue

[academiaipromise]

social media by and large really, really still doesn’t know how to handle accounts after someone dies…

#just a cherry on top of a really spectacular couple of days #you can’t report a Facebook account for impersonating someone who’s dead without that person confirming that their info is being stolen… #you can see how that might be an issue #so now I just have this random scammer who has tried to friend me 3 times today with my dead uncles info which is just. I’m tired #this week has been a lot and this is just. so I’m unreasonably angry with this policy like what are we doing #kt tangents #an over share for sure but I’m just. ugh.

See, the term "magical thinking" is perhaps accurate, but I worry that people interpret that as a cutesy symptom rather than as something that can very easily slide into life-ruining thoughts and patterns of behaviour.

I've found that my own magical thinking is often inspired by some incredibly hurtful, very personal fears and traumas, and I wonder if that's what many people also experience. It's helped to reframe my mindset in that I acknowledge that I am not that powerful that everything in the universe is my fault, but... it's still very difficult to deal with, and it isn't a perfect solution.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #magical thinking #see i find this to be a more personal issue and honestly it goes hand in hand with my post about delusions #especially in that often magical thinking can be almost a manifestation of your innermost fears and anxieties... #...i think my personal trauma is woven into how i think - especially in a magical thinking sense - because of how i was abused... #...and it's things like that that make these topics both personal and imperative that you come in not seeking to judge people struggling #i think some people might just assume it's narcissism on steroids because they don't understand either.. #...magical thinking OR narcissism and that sometimes worries me

Questionable Images 1/2 - The Question #8 (1987)

#book club #the question #vic sage #dc comics #comics #questionable images #another one of my favorite issues #here you can see vic talk about second chances and get fucked up on drugs #also it contains at least two jokes about vic having no face. higher than there have been so far! #but seriously this issue is really fantastix #it shows you what someone who fights fire like fire is doing in the town of hub city #as well as discussing how 'innocence' can be subjective... #dr spaulding is one of my favorite one off antagonists. hes not cartoonishly evil or anything like a lot of the others. #you can see his motivations and you can see how his morals somehow justify this (while being hypocritical) #and yet you are able to look at it and decide how you feel about his actions & decide what it means when someone is 'innocent' #it forces you to ask yourself how much a person can do before they're irreparably guilty. and whether theres a balance to it. #100 good deeds might outweigh 100 bad deeds. or they don't. and every moment decides whether you're 'innocent' or not on its own. #and at the end you have to ask yourself whether spaulding deserved that. DID the punishment fit the crime? why him and not vic? #it brings up moral issues you maybe didn't think about before. #very very good issue... one i often think about. #WHY WONT TUMBLR LET ME MOVE THESE PICTURES AROUND IM GOING TO EXPLODE #no one is guilty except whoever at tumblr made this impossible

[creative-hanyou-girl]

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

#anyway sorry for the long post #I've just been seeing a lot of people complaining about the PJO making changes from the books and I thought I give my 2 cents #& I thought about how the show dies make enough changes to certain events or plotpoints that you could look at it as its own seperate canon #and how that actually is kind of cool as it gives us another version of the same story and characters #it's actually really neat to have different versions of the same story ya know #its like. if I ever want the Percabeth that has more of a 'forbidden relationship' thing going on. there's always the book canon to fall on #likewise if I want the percabeth where they're rivals because they have genuine issues w/ eachother. there's the TV show. ya know? #and if I want the Athena that I can at least somewhat believe might actually care for Annabeth. there's the book canon #whereas if I want the Athena I straight up wanna strangle from the getgo. I now got the TV show for that😊 #same with the characters descriptions #I personally still imagine Percy and Annabeth as they are described in the books #but I am positvely loving Leah and Walker's portrayal of TV Percy and Annabeth so much. especially in these last few episodes. #and don't get me started on how much I love Aryan as Grover. he's the GOAT (literally🤭) #anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #I just think its neat that Ive now got 2. even 3 versions of PJO canon that I can love together and individually at my disposal now #and I just think the people who are complaining about the show aren't seeing it that way and that's why they're whining about changes #like. chill guys. we still have the books. but now we also the show and musical to give us new versions of the same story and characters #and is that not amazing when you think about it? #percy jackson series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #athena #annabeth chase #grover underwood #book vs show #percy jackson books #percy jackson musical #percabeth

How do you think EddEddy is an abusive pairing?

i don't think their relationship is abusive lol. i think it has the potential to be toxic and annoying, but that's mostly just early on. they fight, they break up, they get back together, rinse and repeat. they both cycle through periods of being too cold or too needy. they've got issues to work out and that's a messy process for 2 giant egos. but they never give up on each other. they've got that whole red thread of fate thing going on.

#for the record i don't see their casual bickering as toxic #if anything it's indicative of their closeness and how comfortable they are with each other #when i say fighting i'm talking about BPS style screaming matches and taking (verbal) cheap shots at each other #eddy's got his issues with intimacy and emotional availability #edd's got whatever the fuck is going on with him (i have too many thoughts to post here but seriously i'm worried about the guy) #they're both insecure and jealous which comes into play as you might imagine #and throw some codependency in there for good measure #but as they get older and get past the initial teen/YA awkwardness & melodrama they can work through their ~trauma~ #and things get way more stable and they live happily ever after tee hee #text

imagine thinking that trans men are inherently bad or evil or predatory on the basis of gendered privilege and societal power structures. cringe

#transmasc discourse #like the idea that trans men gain male privilege and kick down the ladder to beat on the queer community is astonishingly stupid at best #the idea that transphobia or queerphobia as a whole doesn't affect them because they're Assimilating With The Oppressors is like #man fucking what is up with people yknow #gender essentialism is fucked up and it's the same force that's beaten down on bi ace and transfem people #the fact that this has turned into 'trans rights but only for the women' by some dumb-fuck shitstains is awful #no. trans rights for all. #like let me explain what I mean here: trans men aren't seen as men by transphobes #it's not 'oh you're a fella? crack a cold beer and let's bash some gays'. passing as a man has just as much risk to it as passing as a woman #because a man who will attack a trans woman as someone who is not a woman will most likely attack a trans man he does not see as a man #with the same violence he might level against a cis woman #that's just on the masc side. i can't speak for any violence against trans men by cis women but I can see how cis women discredit trans men #by claiming them as Lost Lesbians and Sisters In Arms who've been lost due to the Trans Agenda #like people shit on bi people because they have 'passing privilege'. but we know that bi people face homophobia #and other issues about their orientation. the idea that trans men get their Boys Will Be Boys card is to focus on a tiny selection #that *potentially* has the power to he a shithead - like a queerphobic asexual person or a malicious bi person #and paint an entire group of diverse people as literally the worst interpretation you can imagine about them #like consider that you have your own issues and/or biases in regards to people you like and want to hang out with #and stop calling entire groups of people invaders and oppressors whose entire goal is to upend the community #and turn the power of queer people against them #i understand how it feels to feel powerless and to have somewhere where you feel supported and safe #but if you're going to see pain and hate in every group who shares your experience but gives you an ick for whatever reason #there's a solid chance that the Righteous Crusade against them is - in fact - your own personal dislike wielding a modicum of power #that essentially functions the same way that hetero- and cis-normative standards and people have rejected you. #it is essentially you becoming the bully. and just like bi and ace and transfem people before I won't stand for it #trans men are my people.

you’re thinking about how easily massive numbers of the wildly antisemitic tankies would have been pulled into the actual political tenets of (esp early to mid 20th century) armed Zionism and you’re laughing?????

#This folks is why analysis of ideology and the structures of an ideology is important #Rather than just random ass ethnic signposting #A lot of people see Zionism as something suspicious and jewy that had to do with Jews - I don’t like them #But the reality of Zionism as an initially distinctly leftist branch of political ideology that sought to liberate an oppressed people #With that tiny niggly wiggly issue of the fact people might #Already have lived on that land???? Ohhhh boy #All these cottage core back to the land the world would be better if I could reject modernity and return to the ancient ways of Farming #Society is broken it cannot be fixed the only option is to found a New Tough society that will fix all our previous problems #And we’ll get round to it in heavily armed leftist commune farming settlements #Which we will defend with violence because any violence in the name of an oppressed people is justified and our legitimacy comes from the #Rifle!!! #The only reason you see this ideology as inherently removed and bizarre is antisemitism and the only reason you see yourself removed from i #Also antisemitism!!! #You would have done numbers in ahdut ha-avoda you would have called Ben gurion abbaleh/ #Remember: a bunch of the people who got sucked into this of ideology weren’t the *rich Republican aipac Jews*!*’ your head #They were broke often very secular Jewish leftists working dead end gig economy jobs in farms and sweatshops for whom the idea of a Brave #New World with a. Brave new culture was very appealing and liberating #It offered something new to the broken. #It’s important to talk about this stuff to talk about how it can be undone #But also. The world is not divided into the Oppressed and the Unoppressed #Your political ideology does not stop you from hurting others #No political ideology even anti capitalism or leftism is innately pure- all can harm others #No ethnic and cultural identity no matter how oppressed is free from the potential to subjugate others #No identity or ideology is greater than the right of other people to live freely #Cycles of oppression and the pyramid structure of many empires result in oppressed people harming other oppressed people #Many many goyim think that they’re removed from the logic of Zionism because they aren’t Jews because it’s something wierd and jewy #But I see a lot of the most destructive logics parroted by leftists every day

Subbing special ed at the middle school slaps. Every class I've had so far is 2-4 students and when we finish the assignment we play Uno

#cont #the more i sub the more i am confirmed in my opinion that i want to be a middle grade teacher #it might be for all i know significantly influenced by how much my local high school is in shambles #the kids have no fucking discipline and are so disrespectful. they don't even try #theyre incredibly selfish in the way teenagers kinda generally are bent to #but the particular system of that school is hopeless. it doesn't make them think of others #they just wanna come to school. do the bare minimum. leave #and i get it. it's a bad school #it's a bad combination of formative years and a failing system #the middle school has a number of issues for certain too but the kids are so much more malleable #they respect authority more. i know that sounds so like conservative but it's not #it's like when i give them instructions or advice they actually consider it rather than taking the quickest way out of it #and they're at such a precious age. it's why some ppl hate this age level but i love it #they really can become anything still but they're getting more curious by the day #when you see occasional callousness or disrespect it's not so confirmed in them yet #and most of all they like to play uno and it's a lot of fun for me

'have you ever had a normal series of thoughts in your life?'

no. today a friend made a lighthearted remark in jest to lift my spirits and objectively i KNEW that and told them i appreciated it but also then went off on a long tangent about my inability to trust said jest at face value because im incapable of not taking everything both extremely literally and seriously, while also prying apart every single possible angle or connotation of the simplest sentences just in case i miss some significant moral or factual implication.

my kid brother had to ask everyone in the family pre-written survey questions as part of his homework last night which turned into a whole affair because i physically cannot answer with a simple agree/disagree/i dont know to each statement because they don't take into account xyz facts or they don't give enough information about the situation and various implications would change my answer drastically.

in other news, every single survey, diagnostic question, medical intake form, etc. is Literal Hell to me because the questions are not clear and specific enough for me to factor in every possibility and give a truthful answer and i can't just give the answer they want or that im 'supposed' to give because that wouldn't be the true answer! it would be lying! and there's no option to give a full 'well technically......' explanation of my answers!

#the duality of fran #i am no longer asking if i am neurodivergent #APPARENTLY THIS ISNT NORMAL #which like. until i was in my early 20s\ #deadass just thought everyone thought like this #HOW CAN YOU BE BLASE ABOUT THE LACK OF CONTEXT IN DIAGNOSTIC QUESTIONS #u know the post about autism screening and the one about do you have difficulty wearing socks #i personally do not have sock issues. but the overthinking and literal interpretations of said questions #YEAH ME TOO #also u can see why. from a religious perspective. i have ocd and am hyper scrupulous #and why confession is literally just the obsessive mechanism for what if over explanations #and i am physically incapable of seeing it as a method of grace #it is a MENTAL TRAP THAT CAUSES ANXIETY BECAUSE I MIGHT LIE AND I HAVE TO EXPLAIN LITERALLY AND THOROUGHLY #who the fuck can just take things at face value #i mean what i say. i mean everything SO intently all the time. that's WHY i have to explain thoroughly #what if someone took my words at face value without an explanation and therefore misinterpreted them #ABSOLUTELY CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN

If i have to see one more post about g3 Lagoona being nothing but an aggressive, violent, and threatening Latina stereotype, eye am going to become an aggressive Latina stereotype.

Say you haven't watched the show without saying you haven't watched the show. I know she calls herself "spicy" in the music video. Yes I had a problem with that. No I don't think it's an accurate representation of her entire actual character to keep pointing to that one line like some kinda "gotcha."

#monster high #monster high thoughts #i've been thinking about this for months and my feelings only get stronger the more episodes we get #like if you watch the show and STILL only see lagoona as fulfilling a spicy aggressive and violent stereotype? #to me that says more about you #and how you're perceiving her now that she's different. or now that she's suddenly not white #like the people who say this stuff are themselves reducing g3 lagoona into the stereotype #as though she needs to perfectly counter a stereotype in order to justify her not being white anymore #because otherwise she just might as well stay white right? #because why change anything? #if she was the only aggressive character i'd have more issue #if she was the only latine rep in the show i'd have more issue #if that was the only facet of her character i'd have more issue #fortunately context exists and none of those are true #why diversify the main characters when you can make replacements that will get hate for being replacements? #or another token side character that'll hardly get any screentime or importance like in g1? #also a big part of the spicy latina stereotype is that their feistiness makes them a sexy and exotic object of desire to conquer #the objectification is key #and idk how to tell you this but lagoona is Not That #ugh i'll probably get shit for this but i'm tired of the misinformation and lack of nuance #if you read this far you've passed the informative tags #and gotten to the point where my neurodivergent ass feels the need to overexplain myself to justify me making this post #and being kinda aggressive about it myself #also obligatory disclaimer that latines aren't a monolith and i obviously don't represent everyone's feelings on the rep etc etc #but that also doesn't change that some people are either being willfully obtuse about this or just...not great at media literacy #as far as not engaging with in-show examples of lagoona's personality not aligning with the stereotypes they already perceive her to be #ANYWAY NO MORE TAGS BYE

THAT BAD #IF YOU GUYS SAY YESS YOULL SEE #ok but nasty bad art aside I know some of you will be asking why white Montag is such a bad thing and #there isn’t anything wrong with it!!! it’s just that for me personally #after I did a bit more thinking I was. physically incapable of perceiving Montag as anything other than POC/nonwhite #so when I look back at my old f451 art and stare into the eyes of a pale skittish twink it just #it doesn’t click. like that isn’t MY Montag if ykwim #now trembling BROWN skittish twink. that’s a different story #AGAIN I DONT have any issues with ppl making their own versions white I just think that . for me specifically. he looked a bit funny #a little off. a bit too crackerish for my liking #where is bros melanin 😭 #I’m complaining right now but if I wanted to I could just… go in and try and make the skin tone darker #I might do that depending on how tired I feel after doomscrolling #also if it matters even though I have read the book over at least 8 times now not once have I touched either of the movies. #and it will STAY THAT WAY. until I completely log my notes for the book #then I can move on to the movies 🥰 #but I will admit 2018 did sort of lead me to having a change of heart w my design. just a little. just a teensy bit. kinda. sort of? #actually not really now that I think about it #I have my own reasons. #TOO MANY WHITE PEOPLE MY EYES THEY BURN AAAYHHHHH MY EYES OW OW OW OWIEEEE #my Beatty design was so white that my eyes developed stage 4 cataracts #I needed a palate cleanser that WASNT Millie… oh god my Millie design… #she was white there too. terrible #it’s okay… 💔 I’ve since learned and moved on #ARGH GUYS I DONT HATE WHITE PEOPLE I JUST THINK THAT MORE SKIN COLOR VARIATIONS WOULD E NICE
