Adult PJO fans: "I can't relate to her if she doesn't look like me" "this is disrespectful to book!Annabeth" "I can't see her as the same character if she's black" "blonde, white women are soooo underrepresented in media. No one else can understand 😫"
Meanwhile, the actual demographic the show and books are for:
hr guy was screaming crying throwing up when I told him I wouldn’t be at the evening part of the xmas social because the date changed and I have a life outside of work and now he sends round the details for the unavoidable lunch part and despite me giving him my dietary requirements well in advance on his request there is simply nothing I can eat. like even ditching the vegetarianism I am allergic to everything on this menu.
I just need to say that as a DA virgin playing a clueless Lavellan with no prior knowledge of the game, the whole deal about a) the Dalish elves' ancestors having been previously enslaved and oppressed by humans, and dealing with prejudice in the modern day and b) the horror of becoming a prophet/religious figure for the very human religion that was used to justify your extermination
was incredibly apparent 🙃 so like. idk. it's there man. maybe you want more from an already massive and detailed game and that's fine, but it's there.
and there are lots of people who talk about it!!! in detail!!!!
of course the best character in jjk [<- my deeply subjective but also correct opinion] died as a one piece reference. literally all one piece has ever done is make the world worse
Lots of people are building Voja, and lots of people are complaining about Voja. But frankly most people aren't building Voja nearly as aggressively as they could or perhaps should be so idk what all the whining is about.
Non-heteronormative, legal, healthy ship: [simply exists and is kind of popular]
*squeaky annoying voice* “OMG the mha fandom is SOOO cringe like why can’t you just ship nORMal ships like these ones [proceeds to show the most flavorless, zero-chemistry, unappealing, basic heteronormative straight ships ever witnessed by humanity]”
gradually learning that coping w my anxiety is gonna require a level of what feels rn like narcissism (but i know logically is not). i have to respond to "what if everyone hates me" with "so what if they do, they can all have bad opinions if they want to, i hate some people too that's just life". going out wearing outfits i like but am nervous about with the mindset of "i look hot as shit and anyone who disagrees is wrong because it's subjective anyways". about half of trying to get over my fear of social situations has been me hyping myself up by telling myself that not only do i have as much of a right to be where i am as they do, someone there is going to be happy to see me for some reason
You know that autism thing where you get really frustrated and upset when people get something wrong about your special interest? Half of my degree gets maths wrong
MASSIVE TONE INDICATOR: I AM JOKING AND TRYING TO POKE FUN AT MYSELF
any fellow fanfic writers get that problem when you plan something in depth and you’re really proud of it and then you’re doing research for the miniscule lore that exists in the source and you stumble across something you somehow missed despite reading the voice lines thousands of times because you have this thing called autism and now you’ve accidentally just made your fic even more lore innacurate when you’re already pretty insecure of how off canon it is in the first place
I am glad nobody spoiled this but I am shocked nobody talks about the fact that Walter White uses his last moments alive to completely wipe out Nazi scumbags.
Personally I think this absolves him of all of crimes, the man fucking EVISCERATED Nazis!!!!!! What a way to go out!!!! RIP king!!!!
Translation is a mix of both of these with my edits
"I can't cry..."
That hyped-up movie that will "leave you in tears"
Didn't move my tear ducts an inch
"The world's tastes are weird, aren't they?"
There's no way I can blurt that
My heart's so dry that it feels like it'll crack
"Touched hearts and left the entirety of America sobbing"
Projecting onto all these heroine
"Not at all!" "So dashing!" "The wild blue!"
A cliched ending
"Touched hearts and left the entirety of America sobbing"
Somebody, please, make my eyes tear up...!
Pushy, forced sympathy—
it seems like if you don't go along with it, it'll be your loss
Just one life per person, and just one emotion per person, too
Telepathy? No one gets it
And even if I got fed up with the constant peddling
And run away, I'd become lonely!
YES WE, YES WE
I can't join in with you guys, oh yeah
YES WE, YES WE
By the way... Who exactly are "we"?
Since when have I been pushed around by "showing sympathy"
Trying to force a reaction from my tear ducts?
"It's just the way the world is, right?"
No way, that's twisted...
I guess that's just how I see it
We can't be saved with that kind of cheap sympathy
When life gets complicated, so do our feelings—
There's way too little delicacy in an "equal temperament"
If I felt seriously threatened and wound up pushed
Out of the group, I'd be lonely!
YES WE, YES WE
I can't join in with this "we," oh yeah
YES WE, YES WE
By the way... Who exactly are you guys?
Pushy, forced sympathy—
it seems like if you don't go along with it, it'll be your loss
Just one life per person, and just one emotion per person, too
Telepathy? No one gets it
It'll be my win if I can honestly tell them
That I'm not giving into their constant peddling
YES WE, YES WE
I can't join in with you guys, oh yeah
YES WE, YES WE
Let something original impact you enough to cry
