...

Wait, was this what they were upset about? I fail to see the issue.

If you know the internet, you know there's always people that'll upset you, just like in the real world. They're just more frequent online. It's only natural to want to do something about it.

Being unfamiliar with how Dark Worlds are created though, for some reason, I kinda wanna know how that would work. Specifically in this context.

It's...

...

It's a Darker Bomb.

Darkness Bomb.

Handheld Fountain?

Wait, that doesn't have anything to do with Dark Worlds. Uhh...

...

I'm gonna mail the Patent-pending Dark Fountain Trash Can Bomb to my birthfather.

Because it'd be funny.

So, if you HAD to put a Dark World in any part of your house, where would it be and what would the Darkners in that world think of you? Who's the ruler?

I would stab the inside of multiple trash cans and send them to all the weird anons that made me uncomfortable.

Like a pipe bomb.

Very long vent/rant below the break (yes, another one). Also, go read Twin Runes, it's really good. Also also, bully me into reading the entire thing, because for some reason I can't seem to sit down and do that on my own.

And to clarify, this whole thing is directed at the anon who asked the question, not the person who answered the ask.

I was just scrolling through this blog since I enjoy the comic (though I really need to read the whole thing) and came across this post. If you know me, you know that I really don't like letting injustice stand without me saying or doing something, so here we go. Prepare for heavily restrained anger.

Akanemnon have stated that how people see them doesn't matter as much as how they make others feel. And they want them to feel positively. I can tell they're incredibly kind because of that.

I also empathize with them about this in particular, considering that, while I'm not popular, I do still struggle immensely with being social just in general. Especially publicly.

Now, here's the thing. I have a different approach to this sort of harassment they're experiencing here, which I've stated above. While I'm not as aware of the unspoken social rules that neurotypicals have, primarily because I'm autistic (among other things), some of the rules I do know are ones I don't agree with.

Now, to my point.

Anon? I didn't see the post being referenced here, but I don't think I need to. You're being ten times worse, anyhow. What you're doing is known as "guilt-tripping", and it's something I take huge issue with. You're also assuming the worst here, which tends to make you look like (excuse my language but I can't think of a better word) an asshole.

I know you'll never see this, and you know what? Fine. That's not why I'm writing this.

I'm writing this because I'm sick of people trying to make genuinely innocent people look bad. One mistake doesn't make you a bad person. Not even many. That probably just means you're stubborn or something, but not necessarily bad. Intentional and repetitive bad decisions make you a bad person.

That's what you're doing here, Anon. They made a mistake, and you decided to make them feel bad about it because you felt offended over something they said because they were stressed out.

If you were stressed out and said something dumb, I'll admit, I'd probably be a little offended too. That's not the problem. The fact that you acted on it in this way is the problem.

Everyone gets angry sometimes. Everyone can occasionally be unprofessional. But what you did was worse, because not only were you also unprofessional, but you did it intentionally. And that is unacceptable.

So many people on the internet just like you need to watch what you say, for various reasons, and to be considerate of other people. It doesn't matter if you can't be traced, those words still affect not only the people you direct them to, but also everyone else that sees them. I know that because I was affected.

And if people figured out it was you, which I don't think is entirely unheard of, they will treat you the same way. 95% guarantee.

Treat people how you want to be treated.

In this case, I'm trying to be as nice as my rage allows me to be while calling you out for being rude. As such, I also want people to tell me when I say something wrong or bad so I can correct myself, preferably in a manner that doesn't trigger bad memories to return to my mind and make me feel awful.

If your purpose was simply to ask for an apology, or to let them know that you were uncomfortable, then you need to learn to not insult them or make unreasonable assumptions in the process. You were lucky this time, but many people would've just ignored you. Telling you this from experience.

And if you do see this, just know that I do genuinely hope you learn how to address problems in your life better than this. Both minor and major. Despite how much I hate bad people (which I only think you're slightly bad since this is only one bad decision), I do want everyone to improve and become better people, no matter who they are. I often don't expect it though, considering... well, a lot of things. But I'm hoping this is a one-time thing for you.

Be better. Always strive to be better. Improve continuously, little by little. And if you don't know where or how to start or continue improving, ask someone you trust how you could do so.

Please add a trigger warning next time you threaten in your posts. I already feel you don't like neurodivergent individuals with the way you react to asks but that really unprofessional.

As a neurodivergent person myself, I apologize if that is how I came across. That was FAR from how I want to make anyone feel. Because it is simply not the case.

The threat was something I thought to be a throwaway line that I unfortunately did not think too deeply about in the moment of writing it. It was too far, and I recognize and do apologize for that. It came from a place of legit frustration as it feels like whatever I am trying to state is not paid attention to.

It is overwhelming, and I can not claim in any way that I am actually good at being a public person. I have stated before that having so many eyes on me is terrifying, as it causes me severe anxiety at times.

This position was handed to me by a weird twist of fate. And more often than not I question if I really even want it.

What I do want is to tell a story. One that gives people hope and makes them feel better. No matter who they are and what they might struggle with. I do want to be a good and supportive person. To ANYONE.

Again. I sincerely apologize for my harsh words. I do not wish to make anyone feel like I hate them or hold a grudge against them.

My frustrations got the better of me, and I should have acted accordingly.

White(ish) gay boy here. I learned something new today.

Remember her.

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

[equestria-cross-mod]

I adore this.

Happy pride, everypony!

You all must be subject to my specific little headcanon forever now.

Here he is! Stick him places!

Also because I will never not take an opportunity to share this meme I made like 3 years ago...

All I'm seeing is that they don't fully understand some of those things. Either that, or they don't care to know.

If you're not willing to learn about people's interests and will just blindly hate them, I'm not interested in knowing you.

Granted, even I don't know what some of those things are.

And to hopefully clarify which things I meant in the first line, I've always wanted to punch a bigot or a MAP in the face, REALLY hard. This is the closest you'll ever see to me getting political, so enjoy it.

This may just be my experience as an autistic person, but the kids I’ve nannied whose parent’s complain of ‘bad awful in cooperative selfish autistic behavior’ are… Not like that? At all?

Like, for example, I cared for a kid for a while who was nonverbal and didn’t like being touched. Around six years old? Their parent said that they were fussy and had a strict schedule, and that they had problems getting them to eat. Their last few nannies had quit out of frustration.

So, I showed up. And for the first little while, it was awkward. The kid didn’t know me, I didn’t know them, you know how it is. And for the first… Day and a half, maybe? I fucked up a few times.

I changed their diaper and they screamed at me. I put the TV off and they threw things. Not fun, but regular upset kid stuff.

Next time, I figured, hell, I wouldn’t like being manhandled and ordered around either. Who likes being physically lifted out of whatever it is they’re doing and having their pants yanked off? Fucking few, that’s who.

Next time, I go, ‘hey, kiddo. You need a new diaper?’ and check. ‘I’m gonna go grab a new one and get you clean, okay?’ ‘Wanna find a spot to lay down?’ ‘Alright, almost done. Awesome job, thanks buddy’.

I learned stuff about them. They liked a heads up before I did anything disruptive. They didn’t mind that I rattled of about nothing all day. They didn’t like grass or plastic touching their back. They were okay with carpets and towels. They liked pictionary, and the color yellow, and fish crackers, and painting. They didn’t look me in the face (which was never an issue- I hate that too, it fucking sucks) but I never had reason to believe that they were ignoring me.

Once I learned what I was doing wrong, everything was fine. Did they magically “”“become normal”“” and start talking and laughing and hugging? No, but we had fun and had a good time and found a compromise between what I was comfortable with and what they were comfortable with. (For the record, I didn’t magically sailor-moon transform into a socially adept individual, either. In case anyone was wondering.)

I don’t like eye contact. It’s distracting and painful and stresses me out.

They didn’t like eye contact either.

Is eye contact necessary to communication? No. So we just didn’t do it.

Was there ever a situation where I HAD to force them to drop everything and lay down on the lawn? No. So the thirty second warning came into play, and nobody died.

“But they never talked!”

No, they didn’t. And they didn’t know ASL, and they didn’t like being touched.

So you know what happened?

My third day in, they tugged on my shirt. ‘Hey monkey, what’s up?’ I asked. And they tugged me towards the kitchen. ‘oh, cool. You hungry?’. They raised their hands in an ‘up’ gesture. ‘you want up? Cool.’ and I lifted them up. They pointed to the fridge. I opened it. They grabbed a juice box out of the top shelf, and pushed the door closed again. ‘oh sweet, grape is the best. You are an individual of refined taste.’ I put them down and they went back to their room to play Legos.

“But they didn’t say please or thank you!” “But you should be teaching them communication skills!” “But!” Lalalalala.

1. The entire interaction was entirely considerate and polite. I was never made uncomfortable. I was made aware of the problem so that I could help them solve it. There was no mess, no tears, no bruises, no shouting.

2. Did my brain collapse into a thousand million fragments of shattered diamond dust out of sheer incomprehension? No? Then their communication skills were fine. Goal realized, solution found, objective complete. They found the most simple and painless way to communicate the situation and then did it.

Kids are not stupid. AUTISTIC kids are not stupid.

I’m willing to bet real cash money that the real reason the last few nannies had quit had a million times more to do with their own ability to cope, not the kid’s.

To this day, that was the most relaxed and enjoyable job I’ve ever had.

And I know I don’t speak for everyone. All kids are different. All adults are different. But in my time and experience, pretty much 95% of all my difficulties with children come from ME not being understanding enough. Every single “problem child” I’ve worked with turned out to be a pretty cool person once I started figuring out how to put my ego aside and let them set the pace.

Again, not speaking universally, here. I’m just saying. Sometimes social rules are bullshit, you know? People are people

Just in case

What am I reading?

//It really seems like @the-starry-traveller is being made to fight someone with a power fantasy that they're unwilling to put aside for the sake of fairness.

//As someone who had the same issue at one point, I can tell you how unbelievably boring and unfun it is to be unbeatable. Knowing the outcome defeats the whole point of letting it play out.

//These days, all of my characters have weaknesses and limits, even if they're a little absurd, though said absurdity only really applies to the Stellas, to be honest. Yes, plural. Long story.

//Stella's two strongest States, for example, have pretty significant issues that limit their usefulness.

//The Abyssal State utilizes the void, and has the potential to corrupt or even kill her at higher levels. If her soul is corrupted, and she dies while the corruption remains... well, I've not decided what would happen to her, but I'll just say it's very unlikely for her to come back from that, even with Determination. There's a reason we've yet to see its full power, even outside of Tumblr.

//Well, two, but the second isn't a genuine issue and more just me waiting on some Calamity music to be made and uploaded by its current composer, as a certain set of themes are what I imagine the Abyssal State's "theme" being.

//Meanwhile, the Origin State is straight up inaccessible to her in most situations, only manifesting in extremely dire circumstances where a lot is on the line. In other words, she can't choose when to use it, otherwise it'd invalidate basically every fight she gets into.

//And lemme tell you, there's a very high chance you'll never see either of these on the blog due to how insanely powerful they are. I refuse to use them unless everyone is in agreement about it, and that's not gonna happen on Tumblr of all places.

//Point is, I'm hesitant to get involved because I know I'm gonna make him angry by enforcing my own RP standards, which he most certainly does not meet. And if you're wondering what those standards are, I'll make it simple.

//Good grammar, decent character writing, and reasonable power fantasies. Here's a rule of thumb for that last one: if no one is capable of breaking, defeating, or otherwise besting something you made, no matter how strong they are or what that thing is, then you've failed to meet the bare minimum expectations that I hold for everyone I RP with.

//I'm probably more tolerant than I should be, honestly. I can work with a lotta things. But that's where I draw the line. Total invulnerability under all circumstances.

//Even my most powerful character, Prisma, Stella from the future, a Transcendent Spirit, who refuses to fight because she knows it'll be unfair, or even get involved in a lot of things for the same reason, who is capable of fighting and defeating even the most powerful villains in the multiverse, who has even adopted an interdimensional eldritch horror as her own daughter, is still able to be beaten with the correct tools. And it's already happened, even by characters not of my own creation. Heck, many of the other Transcendent Spirits are stronger than her because they've been alive for far longer.

//Even Prisma, who was specifically designed to have no limits not to win every fight, but so that I can have fun with wacky scenarios, has a limit. Because being limitless is boring.

//When you can do anything, nothing has meaning. Yes, strive to be better, push your limits, see what you're capable of. But also accept that everything and everyone still does has a limit, one you'll eventually reach no matter how hard you try to push past it.

Not happy I have to do this, but due to an overwhelming amount of recent anon Asks being little else than scams from fake people begging for donations for people that don't exist, I'll be closing Anonymous Asks across all accounts.

My friend got banned from Discord because of an automated system mistaking a photo they posted in a server with only them and like, one other person for something it was not. Are you fucking kidding me? And they outright refuse to address it! God, Discord *really* needs to hurry up and be replaced.

Actually, I feel like each... model, I guess? of arcade machine would get its own pony, but it wouldn't be more or less specific than that. Or maybe either the mechanical stuff on the inside or the arcade game series.

As an example, one would be all arcade machines that use a particular graphics chip would be one pony. The other would be like... all SEGA Rally machines, or all Initial D Arcade machines. That sorta thing.

I can see Stella being friends with the IDA and WMMT arcade ponies, easily.

Is there a pony representing all arcade games, or does each cabinet get its own pony? Is there just "Arcade pony", or is there Donkey Kong pony, Frogger pony, and Gradius 4 pony?

There could be arcade pony blogs out there for all I know..

Burnin Comet ^^

he'd definitely be in line to inherit the Sol Emerald guardian title from Blaze when he's grown. i have no idea if he can also use the chaos emeralds so I dunno if he'd get a super form, maybe?

"Pretty..." Stella started to purr, and was about to put it on when she got a ping on the device she was holding.

"Huh? What are you talking about? It's just a manepin." She decided to use it to hold her lower mane up in a ponytail for a little while.

Das a cute and happi poni.

*a white crystal flower with a gold stem is left there*

Stellar found it when coming in from exploring another world. "Huh?" She approached it cautiously, lifting it with magic and inspecting it. "The heck is this...? I've never seen anything like it..."

Naturally, her first instinct is to scan it with her PDA. She pulled it out from her mane and switched it on, holding its camera up to the flower. "Let's see what the database says."
