#taters rant

[viperbunnies]

okay i will pass out now since i didn’t sleep a wink, only for me to be blasted with the most mind numbing questions on the quiz.

like seriously why are the choices:

a. ii and iii are incorrect while i and iv are not incorrect

b. i and ii are incorrect while iii and iv are not incorrect

and so on…

I don’t mind modified true or falses but that one is just too much. it is terrible for my dyslexia 💀

not a lighthearted or funny or uplifting post but I gotta rant somewhere right? right. so when my ex husband left the military i lost my insurance (we were already separated but anyway) and i was broke as FUCK but didn't know wtf to do right. looked at plans, couldn't afford them. didn't get insurance. february I was hospitalized and it was bad and the hospital said oh hey we can help you look for something and then just didn't. I was discharged, i went back to work and cried to my bosses and their boss about not being able to afford my insulin(I didn't get benefits bc of a stupid fucking loophole they had) and begged for any help with finding a way to be compensated so that I wouldn't end up BACK in the icu. and I was told I was shit outta luck bc I should've looked into low income insurance. I had. And it was just me chasing my own tails so that was great. I ran out of insulin and the doctor who had prescribed me more would not send the prescription to my pharmacy for reasons unknown to me. I ended up back in the icu. No doctor or nurse could understand it. They made sure I had what I needed and I got discharged. I tried again for insurance bc I was so tired. I finally found a link to help me out and then got a call and sorted out a plan that was 0$ premium and covered what I needed and was GREAT!!! I was told ok you're signed up you'll get the card in the mail and April 1st it'll be in effect! And guess what. I checked, no active plan. no coverage. So I called again and just got the run around??? Every fucking month. I've been paying out of pocket for my insulin all year. ALL YEAR FOR BOTH KINDS OF INSULIN I USE. Today I got a call. From the insurance company that said I had a plan but also didn't have a plan. Saying AS PART OF YOUR PLAN....I'm livid I really am.

I love when I’m listening to a song thinking about random stuff and all of a sudden an old hyperfixation is reaching up from deep within my soul.

On a totally and completely different note that has nothing to do with this - does anyone else think the reason Farkle wasn’t diagnosed with Autism in the infamous “let’s go tell them you don’t” episode is because He’s AuDHD w/OCD tendencies and not just autistic? He says “they didn’t know what to make of me” at the end of that episode. Which on its own isn’t that concerning, but watch the rest of the show. He continually struggles with who he is, still very much overstimulated and you cannot tell me he doesn’t have adhd. I mean. Season 1. Farkle Time anyone?

OCD might not be as obvious, but he gets very obsessive over certain things, a great example being the Riley still liking Lucas thing (spoiler sorry nobody cares it’s a Disney show get over it). But the needing a deadline is something I would do. Which is why I say that. I’m sure there are other examples but I haven’t watched the show obsessively in almost a decade. Maybe I need to brave through a rewatch just obsess over this.

His change of character in the later part of the show (a few episodes before the autism one) and especially as season 3 progresses screams stereotypical undiagnosed neurodivergence starting to crumble. But of course they “don’t know what to make of him”. As someone that was trying to get treatment around the same time the changing of the labels while should be a simple thing made it hard to get a proper diagnosis for a little while. At least for some of us and given they use the old language in this episode, in universe it wouldn’t be too uncommon to say that if he had layered neurodivergence they would’ve just said “welp weird kid idk what to make of him *shrugs and moves on with day*” and they don’t realize that in what to them is 2 seconds they can cause a crisis which I think is what we would’ve eventually seen if the show wasn’t cut short.

How did I get this completely unprompted in my brain just by listening to a Radiohead cover you ask? Idk. Honestly I wish I could tell you but I have no clue.

Tater Tot Reform Now!

The term “tot” in this instance alludes to one of two definitions, both uncouth to describe the nature of the snack.

Definition A: “A very young child.”

Just because these are often fed to kids doesn’t mean you’re required to perpetuate the least entertaining way to infantilize a shredded potato snack. If you subscribe to this concept, don’t be a coward. Call them what you mean; POTATO TODDLERS. Your children will thank you for the empowerment they feel in their adult lives because they spent their childhood imagining themselves as a kid eating Kaijus every time they sat down to eat. (No need to thank me)

Definition B: (British) “a small amount of a strong alcoholic drink such as whiskey or brandy.”

Glossing over the fact that this definition is actively haunted by the ghost of Winston Churchill’s liver- it’s far from an accurate way to describe the eating experience. Naming a single nugget of microwaved hash brown after an alcoholic’s micro-dose is advertising so false it’s practically claiming health benefits. You’re not just having a splash of gin in your lemonade when you sit down in front of a plate of tater t*ts… You’d knock back one after another of those fuckers in one sitting and maybe get your keys taken away after being denied another round. Let’s all be grownups and call them what they actually are…

hear me out rhea x southern!reader. like reader is from DEEP in the south and rhea can’t understand her sometimes

hehehe i have some deep tennessee roots in me so i absolutely love this!

i just did some bullet points of certain sayings and scenarios i think would happen :))

sweetie from the south // rhea ripley x fem!reader

"you done started pissin' me off, Rhea. i swear we can't have anything nice in this house." you huffed as rhea broke yet another object, determined to prove her ultimate strength to you.

"lord help me"

"Rhea, god willing and the creek don't rise, I think you're gonna be WWE's biggest star yet!" you exclaimed, kissing her cheek. "What creek?" She asked, confused.

"there really ain't nothing to it, Rhea. I know you drank the last of my Kool-Aid!" "i needed something sweet and you put loads of sugar in there!" She defended herself.

"hurry up! I swear you're movin' slower than molasses over there!" you hollered at Rhea as she took her sweet time fixing her hair.

"babydoll, how much hairspray do you need?" rhea asked, walking up behind you. "you know what Dolly always says, the higher the hair the closer to God!" you smiled at her through the mirror and continued your never ending spritz of hairspray.

"oh my sweet heavens! Rhea!!" you clutched a hand over your chest as Rhea stumbled backstage with bruised ribs after Nia Jax's attack.

"well, butter me up and call me a biscuit, it is hot out here." you huffed, hands on your hips. Rhea admired you from behind, taking in the view of you in your bikini at the beach. "I'll butter you up, don't have to tell me twice. C'mere, baby." She said and pulled you to her, a cheeky grin on her face as she held up the sunscreen.

"It's just so frustrating, you know?" rhea ended her angry rant about some annoying person at work. "you're preachin to the choir, baby." you agreed with her rant casually.

"how long is the party gonna take?" Rhea asked, smugly observing your outfit as you fixed your makeup in the mirror. "Till the cows come home, probably." You shrugged, spritzing perfume on your neck. "Cows? You're bringing cows home?! Babe, maybe you shouldn't go-" Rhea looked alarmed as she quickly blocked the doorway. "I am not bringin' cows home, rhea! It's just an expression." you giggled.

"you're glowin', sugar! look at you! grinnin' like a possum eating' a sweet tater!" you hugged rhea as she came out of the bathroom in a pretty black dress. A strong look of confusion crossed her face, "a possum? i hope that's a compliment." She shrugged. "Well, you missed the rest of it! A possum eatin' a sweet tater! Means you look happy." you gave her a sweet smile and pecked her lips. "I'm always happy around you, babe."

"pretty as a peach, mami!" you commented on her appearance when she came out of the bedroom one day. "Pretty as a peach? What's that supposed to mean?" She chuckled. "Ya' know... you're lookin' prettier than a glob of butter meltin' on a stack of wheat cakes!" you exclaimed. "Babe... what?" Her face said it all. She was so confused. "It means you look dazzlin', sugar. Now, c'mon, let's go!"

i loved this, i could definitely do more at some point if anyone wanted it

Can I vent/rant to you...?

Ofc tater!!

[soopertiddies]

I've been rewatching s3 and the early half of s3 was actually wild and it felt like almost unnecessarily cruel? especially to the gay poc characters..like the way they treated mercedes with the whole wss and troubletones storyline boils my blood to this day 😒

the sanatana storyline was especially awful and other people have already covered how bad it was way better than I could but the glee writers handled it was actually disgusting

you’re actually so right about them being wildly effeminophobic to kurt in s3 😑😑 like it felt extremely out of place and just nasty

also i think kurt and mercedes should have been allowed to kill sebastian and mr schuester with hammers for the effeminophobic and rascist bullshit they had to deal with

So, disclaimer, I haven't reached season 3 yet I had watched the scene of Bieste, Emma and Artie being horrible to Kurt because it popped up on youtube. But I did watch it when it came out and I DO remember that season 3 filled me with rage, and this is absolutely why.

I don't think Glee handled any storyline well, maybe Kurt getting bullied, but even then I think it was only because Chris (happy bday king) is genuinely good at acting.

And GOD they never gave Mercedes a genuine storyline they gave her one about tater tots and one about her being 'lazy'.

And not to get back on my 'I hate ryan murphy' narrative, but you could tell which cast members he didn't like by how they treated their characters (Chris, Dianna, Amber, and Naya) their characters were always dragged through the mud, they were always painted as doing something wrong even if they were completely justified

(i.e Santana slapping Finn because she was OUTTED and her getting in trouble for it, Kurt not getting into NYADA even though he did amazing, Schue yelling at Quinn even though she genuinely needed help, and Mercedes being called lazy and never getting what she rightfully deserved (like the Maria role)

You're absolutely right about everything, and my apologies for ranting once again those four are my favorite characters and I'm very passionate about how shitty they were treated.

(Also, they should be allowed to murder).

Doodle comic of a scene in my book, story is told from Vernon's pov though so we don't see Atlas rant or confront Vernon on getting him a decafe coffee AFTER HE SAID HE DIDNT WANT DECAFE

( also Atlas has a minor heart condition that's why Matt here isn't too upset that he got decafe anyway. But he also trusts Atlas to know his limits. Vernon does not Know Atlas has a heart condition he thinks Atlas is just weird. And has a habit of not listening to him. ) also have some franchises that exist in this world

TW: vent/ramble/suicide note/ there's too many damn slashes/bad grammar/ no punctuation: I hope republicans genuinely realize that "make America great again" means nothing like I'm not trying to start arguments or anything but it genuinely does not mean anything like when was it great because any time before now was a pretty bad time for America pretty racist unless you mean when trump was president but everyone was more homophobic then I mean we're not not homophobic now and it wasn't considerably less during his serve but it's not like a lot was better the economy was better during his term but that's because of Obama so it doesn't really correlate with trump trump didn't change things very much like every president now only changes like two things besides Obama that dude was a beast like I've heard he bombed shit and he was a bad dude but like he kind of fixed America for a little bit so maybe he should've been allowed I mean Teddy Roosevelt was a great president but he was a bit sexist but everyone brushes that off because he was fucking awesome god I rant for so long I barely remember my point at the beginning let's get back to that MAGA does not have any significance those words in that order have no meaning I mean you could say "America was great under trump so let's make America great again" but your supplying no context I mean it's just something that means nothing but is easy to chant like if i said "make gators eat taters" it obviously means nothing but it is a hell of a chant idk if it is a good chant though I am pretty high I mean why else would I ramble on for two pages hey if you some how get to this point and could read it even though I used no punctuation and probably a shit ton of grammar mistakes comment "make gators eat taters" and I mean republicans are really voting for likability and he's not even a likeable guy he's just a guy you know like voting for Andrew Tate like "sure he's a shitty guy and he's ugly but he has everything you could want maybe my incel ass will find everything too" I mean they all just became so afraid of being alone and it being your fault you decided to blame everyone else for being alone NEWSFLASH it's nobodies fault besides yours you caused your loneliness you can't help that so you go online spit some shit about women being bad and only liking attractive people ignoring the fact that it's just because your personality is shitty so that other men on the Internet will like you (gay asf btw) then you take whatever sex toy you have that fits your tiny dick and masturbate to overwatch porn for about 2 seconds then you jizz into whatever slimy toy you have and play call of duty with the 13 year old kids who are gonna end up like you and the worst part about it is you don't even get death you have all the water and food your mom brings down to you so that you never have to leave that chair and the only other option is to have self esteem issues and just fucking starve yourself to death in your mom's basement that's the only way any of you can get out of this life hopefully your mom makes you pay rent so you actually have to go out and work your minimum wage job and talk to regular people I know I said I wasn't gonna start any arguments but who's gonna read all the way down here I mean I could just put any picture down here too

See ts it's naked men and apes walking jk jk it's some depiction of evolution I was told a while back was incorrect but I have to assume they just mean it didn't make those dramatic jumps which yeah of course they're not gonna put a million slightly different monkey pictures on a god damn textbook

I'm terrified I'm absolutely terrified I'll end up like them fat alone with a huge drinking problem that I went to rehab for then immediately fell back into the pattern because my brother is an asshole or the other option living in my dad's basement and smoking weed all day and starving myself to death yeah that shit I said about starving yourself to death yeah that was about my brother it's a shitty way to end up but at least he has to pay rent so he goes to his job horrible way to end up and well I guess there's the third option I get good grades I write a good essay and I go to a good college but the whole time I'm in debt and empty inside I bottled my emotions up for so long that any slight thing that makes me mad I'll make a huge argument I like that one it's not likely to happen but I like it because at the very least I'm trying that's why it's not likely to happen I don't try to do anything not in a "I would succeed if I really tried" type of thing that losers say after they lose a game but a "well at least I did something" kind of trying I doubt I would succeed succeed but hopefully I'd get into some subpar college do what I like doing for at least a while you know till I kill myself that's where the story ends that's where it's always been leading I'm just waiting for the time to get there.

Men who are like Tate

I don't particularly watch andrew tate stuff, but I use Asmongold videos as background noise, it just helps me focus for some reason and a year old video about tate popped up, so whatever, here's my opinion on this soyjack.

There's a point where Tate is going off about women, how they will cheat on you, how they will leave you and how you can't trust them and Asmongold pauses the video and say "He has a name in his mind as he's saying this. He's thinking of a specific woman."

And he's right, 100% right. Tate wasn't the persona that he is now his entire life, 10 years ago I'd bet he was a completely different person, probably even a "nice guy". Who after a few, or perhaps one really important relationship, had his heart broken and it broke him not only as a man but as a person. The only men who really, genuinely hate women, are men who have a reason to do so. I'm not saying they're right, but there's a reason they're like that, they weren't born that way and I'd argue that there was a time, a significant portion of their life in which they wanted to find love and had hope to find a good woman and then had the misfortune of meeting an awful one. They weren't born misogynists, they were made into misogynists.

The stuff he talks about and is convicted or accused of, that's not normal. 90% of men don't do those things and have no desire to do those things to women, because most men do not actually hate women. They guys who follow him, are just essentially other guys who had their hearts broken, who trusted the wrong woman and ended up being a broken person.

Furthermore, I think there are female versions of Tate, radfems that hate all men, that do shit like get male shelters closed, or encourage males to commit suicide. They're just broken women who had a really bad experience or experiences with some terrible men because they chose poorly.

These are people not to be listened to, but instead to be pitied. They will go through life hating their other sex because of what I'd argue is a small portion of both sides. There is not an epidemic of people following Tate or being radfems who hate men, they're a small percentage of people. Ergo I'd argue the trash men and women that create these groups are also small percentage of people. The internet just allows these small minorities to be very vocal and the human condition of liking drama just basically amplifies them.

Sure, thousands of young men idolize andrew tate, but most young men don't. Thousands of young men are mere drops in the millions of young men that there are, it's best to ignore them, to pity them when you have to deal with them. You can offer a helping handm but don't try to debate them, don't try to change their mind through force, because they simply won't.

Lastly, I think it'd be hilarious to refer to Tate's followers as "Tater Tots"

Thank you for coming to my Tumblr Rant.
