reading AITAs to do with abortion is so painful because the question will be "Am I in the wrong for pressuring my 16yo daughter to get an abortion?" and the answers will all be "No, of course no one can expect you not to burden the girl with this for the rest of her life because you feel her child will be a burden on you" and "Tell her horror stories about pregnancy and being a single mother; that'll frighten her into compliance 😊💖😚"

Man, people are once again getting really upset about the lack of content for some characters and fandoms as opposed to others. Like 'howling to the moon' angry about how there's no content on the characters they like or the things they like or ideas they like. We're talking 'conspiratorial' angry.
Baby, be the change you want to see in the world. If you want content, make it. Row the boat all the fuck by your lonesome if you have to. A lot of people have, and they're literally the reason that there is even content for less popular ships/ideas/characters! That's how things get popular! People taking the initiative and just doing it. Don't wait around for someone else to do it for you.
Most of us work for free and are just posting on a whim from our heads. If you love something, write it. Draw it. Post about it. Make the content you want to see. Be the reason someone else has content to turn to if it's important to you. Don't stamp your feet and get upset that something doesn't exist.
Make it. Produce it. Draw it. Imagine it. Do it. Lead the tag. Make the content. Fuel the fire. Do it badly. Just do it. You won't regret it.

Anyway I got notified that I'll be getting a nice $$ bonus from work today and I wish that I could celebrate with someone in a way that didn't just feel like obnoxious bragging. Like beyond the financial aspect, it's just nice to be recognized for good work and I actually feel... good?? about this job??
But it feels so silly to say I want to celebrate when I just got back from what felt like my first real vacation in a very long time and am doing cool comic con stuff this weekend and am scheduled for a new tattoo next weekend. I am already doing lots of things to try to make myself feel good! It feels selfish to want more!
But I guess even with all of that, there's just still a hunger for external validation from trusted sources. Will I ever grow out of wanting someone to be proud of me?

In other important movie-watching news, I finally got around to watching a film that I have wanted to see since at least 2020, and I am being very unwell about it which is umm. since the film in question is the fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, Dead Men Tell No Tales/Salazar's Revenge. Literally for years I have wanted to see this, but I am exceptionally bad at consuming media (which does not help my popularity on tumblr dot com.)
You might think I would watch a lot more Boat Media but I am (weirdly) not into the popular shows; however I do enjoy the PotC franchise even though I have only watched and owned the first three movies, up until now. I got into it in the early 2000s and it's very interesting revisiting it now that I'm in my Marryat Era and all nautical media hits different.
I don't care if DMTNT has Jack Sparrow phoning it in or whatever it is that people complain about, I watched this movie for Capitán Salazar and I LOVE HIM YOUR HONOR. It's two in the morning and I'm wondering what was fictional character Armando Salazar doing in the War of the Spanish Succession?? And what would his educational background be since it's before the Academia de Guardias Marinas omfg I have to learn about the Habsburgs I am being very normal and definitely have not read 250k words of fanfiction

every person who has worked their way out of a situation similar to mine tell me they were saved by the people who love them whether that’s friends or family and realizing i don’t even have that makes me sick
