probably a very very hot take on this website but I kind of hate the fandom culture of taking two characters (not always but usually same sex) with a very deep or strong bond and going "omg they're so queercoded" "they're literally canon" when like 90% of the time the things they do yes, show a deep devotion to one another, but could just very much be read as platonic love. it's very amatonormative imo and paints romance as the ultimate and deepest form of love rather than just another type of it that can be equally as strong as platonicity.
#if you want an example of this trend that's actually queercoded look at pearlina from splatoon#a lot of the stuff they do/say has an explicitly romantic subtext that you can tell the creators meant for#like how marina draws pearl or when she gets mad at acht for flirting with her#as opposed to a ship like marcille and falin from dungeon meshi#where people go “they're so lesbians” but most of what they do can very well just be platonic and show a strong friendship#yes even the bath scene. friends of the same gender taking baths together is very normalized in japan.#take this with a grain of salt because i have only really seen the anime but from what i've heard and seen of the manga#i doubt there are really many examples of romantic subtext there either#wrightworth is like the flagship example of “they're so canon” to me and that one's complicated#like there are very much examples of romantic subtext and we know the creators took inspiration from yaoi from the second game onwards#but a lot of the scenes people point to as examples of queercoding can just be read as platonics#i'm sorry gang but “unnecessary feelings” doesn't necessarily imply romantic feelings#i get that it's fun to go “teehee they're so gay look” but it's at the point where it's a meme. and undermines what actual queercoding is.#as i've drifted away from fandom culture because of the antisemitism™#i don't feel nearly as much of a need to justify my ships based on canonicity anymore#like yeah it can suck for your favorite ship to not have much evidence when you need it for shipping wars#but have you considered shipping wars are fucking stupid in the first place#who cares. one of my otps have barely interacted in canon and idgaf.#i like them because i think they're a good match not because i have proof of them acting gay#and again it's very amatonormative and the prioritization of romantic relationships over platonic ones in fandoms are a whole other convo#i don't even identify as arospec anymore and it still bugs me to no end#amatonormativity#hila has spoken

guy who "should probably be in therapy"
#text#therapy tag#its been almost a year since my disastrous attempt to get back into therapy#and. 14? months since i quit#bc going was just Pissing me off like my therapist was a nice guy but like#it was literally Always just. summarizing my week. Maybe doing a workbook. and then being done 23 minutes into my 55m session#like i'd try to bring up stuff to talk abt and he'd brush past it#repeatedlyyyyy. like it was a PATTERN at some point i was just like. man this is just pissing me off#like im not getting any benefit anymore#ive been trying to figure out what the best modality for me would be but i keep coming up empty#and most of the therapists in the area slash in general seem to be short term cbt therapists#and if i see one more short term cbt therapist......... Man i cant do it i CANTTTT#i think the issue is behavioral therapy in general. dbt was helpful when i was 14 but like. i did it i learnt the skills#behavioral therapy in general focuses on . behaviors. and changing those And thats not my issue and focusing on Behaviors#when ive got big iceberg-style problems causing said Behaviors. is just not at all helpful#And like. im sick of hedging with therapists i want to find someone who i can just go to like. i think i have a dissociative disorder Pleas#help me be more functional and less distressed. But therapists/psychiatrists/professionals in general do NOT like hearing that#but also like. i KNOW MYSELFFFF im like 8 for 8 on correct self diagnoses i Know there is something going on in my brain#and i dont want to get to know a therapist over the course of several sessions only to find out they dont believe me#And the other thing i know about myself is i have no money and i dont know how health insurance works#And id need my therapy to be 100% covered. which like In this society. in this economy#God and there's also my other issue of 'feeling like i will be Exactly This Unwell Forever' and that ~april 2024 is 'as good as it will#ever get so why would i bother with therapy again'#or 'what can a therapist tell me that i cant tell myself' or 'what does talking to a professional do that Poasting on my Blog doesnt'#and the answers there are obvious if i use my brain but 'flop over and die' is my general response to every stressor ever#which is deeply unhelpful btw#I could get a lot of attention and a lot of help by hospitalizing myself but thats a) a little unnecessary rn b) stressful and#c) expensiveeeee. but it's worth considering#And trust it does not escape my notice thgat i would have a case worker to help with all this if i hadnt been too scared to#answer phone calls when i started the process in the crisis unit when i was 18

Reading a little bit of this manga by the author of my lesbian experience with loneliness that's about her struggling with binge eating and bulimia and i hate to say it but it did make me feel better about myself also as someone who struggled with binge eating disorder all my life

was scrounging around an old fan forum for fics yesterday (found some gems), and I forgot how much of the wild west forum fics are lol (zero tags in sight, vague summary, tells you who the pairing is if there is one (if you’re lucky), and rating with no details and thus no nuance). good luck, you’re going in blind. also, some of these commenters are BRUTAL. like more so than ffic.net (and if you’ve hung around in ffic.net comments you know how passive aggressive (and straight up aggressive) they can be 😬). I’ve gotten so used to the ao3 commenting ettiquette that it was a bit of a shock for a second lol.

im with you 😭 i hate the reboot and the way it ruined the characters forever but theres some aspects of it which i really like and want to consider canon like cleo being explicitly wlw, some of the new characters and whatever the hell jfk and abe had going on, but there's other stuff which id rather forget or pretend isn't canon
I understand you bro! It's not like I hate everything about the reboot, it has some very interesting aspects and details and i do respect them. But yeaahhhh... Some things are just.... let's just pretend they don't exist <3
Honestly i rewatch the reboot more often than the first season and it is pretty fun in general, makes you feel strong emotions (ANGER IS ALSO AN EMOTION BTW), but i'm doomed to skip many scenes (or close my eyes during them lol) just because 1) they're not funny at all 2) they are disgusting 3) they don't make any sense and make me cringe
And if you ignore like 70% of the reboot suddenly it becomes easier to enjoy, funnier and doesn't suck that much <3
Anyways i still respect others opinion on the reboot, i know there are people who fully enjoy it or hate it completely, everything is pretty much subjective!!

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that
if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it
#snap chats#no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game#oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH.#id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k#OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think#my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious#rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final#HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE#i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that#i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki#someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it#like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but#i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital#the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe#cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion.#yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3#its a real head scratcher ...#a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think#it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little#and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened'#im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways....#sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly#idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me#THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED#i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell#is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form#i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments#BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow#im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

I didn't used to believe in it, but the mean girl to nurse pipeline is genuinely real
These lab techs had me feeling like I was back in middle school being bullied by mean girls who were trying to pretend to be my friend even though I could tell they were clearly fucking bullying me
So that was an awful time

Working on typing out the pinned post for the oc blog so I can get that up....soonish~
I think at this point, since I have stuff that I'm proud enough to use as a pfp and banner art, I'm just gonna launch it as soon as I get that finished. It won't have all the refs I wanted for it out yet, but I have Cecil's done and a desire to work of Faye's soooooo there's at least something. But yeah, my main thought is if I have the stuff to make it look pretty, then I should just go for it, or else it'll take forever to get launched. And it doesn't make sense to give myself more work when I can just have fun drawing what I want instead of worrying about a bunch of extra stuff. So yeah, gonna chip away at that and hopefully we'll be up by next week 😌👍✨️

As upsetting as Bandai Namco is, I am excited that Asbel's outfit is finally in Yumia! It looks incredible on her! I've been tempting to get the Digi Deluxe for that gothic dress because it's cute and she's gorgeous in it! But I... didn't actually like the game. I'm going to try again with Asbel's costume and power through though!
I have come back to Nelke recently. I remember low-key hating it because of the gameplay and progression. Definitely a slap in the face for what it was, even now. But I enjoy the loop so much more, and some of the scenes really are cute and funny!
I have nostalgia and attachment carrying me for Nelke, but that I've come to love it so much now and am addicted, I'm hoping I can enjoy Yumia.

honestly guys i miss someone important but i think its going to be alright!
#ppanicposts#THIS IS ABOUT VTUBERS AND IM BEING PARASOCIAL I PROMISE I AM NOT BEING A LITTLE YEARNING BITCH BOY#im not mr polish meowmeow (reference for irlmoots)#well hes also parasocial but for carti which is a different genre of parasocial i think#anyway ranting about vtubers now#i was pissed when people started bothering each other about it like a drama and not like its srs when stuff first came out#but now i feel a little better about it and that its going to be fine#other fans have been staying strong#another liver indirectly confirmed hes alright in a memba stream#a liver that was speculated to be involved in the problem is back! and not sussed just on break#but she had a birthday stream 🎉 and shes doing alr too#i threw myself into other liver fandoms or in other franchises to distract myself#but after his clips started resurfacing on my yt i realized#i do really hope he comes back 😭 or whatever he decides to do its all going to be okay#i wont fw him if the problems are all true and i wont lie or say i know for a FACT theres no way anythings true#bc im a fan and i dont know what goes on behind the scenes#but atp speculating is unnecessary#and rn i think i trust the word of any livers that comes straight from their mouths over people who want to stir up problems#if youre saying a liver said something i better hear it again from that liver#so if livers seem to be doing more positively? if other livers are going on okay without it seeming like there is no war in ba sing se?#im taking that as a good sign.#every time a problem happens btw#even in february last year where SHIT HIT THE FAN SO BAD#i decided that its better to move on and not take sides because all the livers seemed happier that way#all of them.#when after she left a liver i love immediately jumped to collab with her again#but also uplifted fans of the liver everyone said had a problem with her#i decided if that liver i love is at peace with everyone then it will all be okay 👍 and just keep supporting#i know some things you say are for business when it comes to vtubing because all it is is content creation#but i think they are not someone who goes out of their way for something that isnt genuine
