#I’m kind of upset :(

[aimseytv]

i will always speak up about things that upset or offend me if i have to, and waking up to people discoursing my gender or my “proper identify” isn’t a fun thing - i’ve said so many times i’m just me, which means i’m okay being called a guy and a man considering i call myself those terms all the time anyway. be kind gamers okay?

[borderlinereminders]

Every time I post about being bothered or annoyed by something, someone always comments or sends an ask along the lines of “you just need to let stuff roll off you! They aren’t worth your energy”. And then something about how you can only control you and all you can do is get stronger and deal better

And I get the good intentions. I do. But they’re very invalidating.

I can use every coping skill I have. And sometimes I’m just a bit more emotional for whatever reason and in those moments, me coping is me venting about it. A lot of the time when I vent, I can let stuff go. No matter how much I recover, sometimes stuff will just hit you a bit harder.

Sometimes the thing to say if you want to say something with good intentions is “that sucks” or “your feelings are so valid”. Because a lot of time, people just need to be heard and seen. Your kind intentions about "letting it slide off you" really translate into “get over it” for a lot of us and that feels pretty terrible.

the way i’m so ready to defend anything whenever i see a video that’s like “[sonic game/show/literally anything] is BAD” . there’s just a need to disagree with those kinds of youtubers i feel it in my bones

the newest chapter has me thinking about kdj’s relationship with the fourth wall

[fishymom-art]

Oh the new bendy game, if only you weren’t confusing for the sake of being confusing and made us do something other than bashing our heads against the wall for half an hour

i know everyone is praising ify for how he’s playing this season and i do think he is slaying but some of his moves kinda bother me😭😭😭i didn’t like how he took all the drug juice i feel like brennan obviously had a plan for how that was gonna work with persimmon dead AND everyone would’ve got a cool moment with the drugs but he kinda just took it :/ obviously it worked out and it did lead to that convo w liv and russell but idk i felt like jacob in that moment and i’m not even playing LMAO like i would rather have just seen what brennan was gonna do and got to see how everyone was gonna take it

i’m about to start gatekeeping interacting with fic authors from a lot of y’all. u need to learn how to behave

“i need more” “pls continue this” “when are you posting the next bit” why don’t you try showing some proper appreciation for what’s already written before you go demanding more!!!

​a lot of time and energy goes into each piece of writing and it is incredibly disappointing for the primary feedback to be “give me more!” if you’re trying to motivate authors to continue, this kind of response has the opposite effect.

you know what is motivating? specific praise.

let me break it down for you.

How To Leave A Comment Without (Unintentionally) Sounding Like A Pri- [GUNSHOT]

point out a few specific things you liked about the fic and why. how it made you feel.

highlight a line or two or three that stuck out to you.

if it’s an incomplete work, express excitement at seeing where they’re going — without a demand for more.

it’s quite simple, and it doesn’t even have to be a long thing. this can be done in a hundred words or less.

and yeah, it takes effort. takes a bit of time. but fandom is about mutual support. it’s about community.

fic authors are not celebrities who don’t even see your attempts to get their attention. there is a real person on the other side of that screen living a real life, and if you want to encourage them in their craft and properly motivate them to write, try treating them like a fucking human being.

authors put in hours to create content (that only ends up not being truly appreciated). i think you can spare a few minutes to leave a detailed, thoughtful comment in turn.

idk just a semi-friendly reminder that authors don’t owe you shit actually

I think it’s been long enough to admit that I hated s2 of ofmd and the only thing it did was make me ship stizzy and go rewatch black sails

This is by far one of the most thought-provoking and PAINFUL things I’ve ever read.

What happens when your coworker kills your other coworker but both of you are in a relationship (kind of) with the same ethereal woman who had an admiration for said dead coworker.

+bonus Evandrey because it’s funny to me (I’m sorry Eva.)

[mylittleredgirl]

decided it’s time to cut myself a break when i “overreact” to something, because there’s basically always an impressive number of things in front of it that i’m not reacting to. which is probably true for everyone on earth actually.

Me before watching today’s episode of Peaceful Property: This story’s not gonna make me cry. It’s gonna be sad but like whatever.

Me watching it on my lunch break:

Fuck, not Ramon. Bad was so close, he was almost there.

Poor Fit. He wasn’t even online. God, I can’t imagine.

Poor Bad. God, Ramon saw him as more of a father than Spreen. And Bad had already fought off the entity like THREE TIMES THAT DAY. ALMOST SINGLE-HANDEDLY, TOO.

And he did it protecting eggs that AREN’T EVEN HIS. He saved Tallulah’s life. Ramon was basically his son.

And now he’s ended stream suddenly without saying anything.

Dapper’s best friend is dead.

Ramon was his son.

like on the one hand language matters and i too sometimes find slang trends annoying and/or concerning and on the other hand sometimes women do actually make jokes and talk shit on the internet with their friends and it is not actually that deep and commentary on phenomena gets to a weird point where i’m like i don’t know how “these idiot losers on the internet using a two to four word phrase they will have moved on from in a year are basically the primary cause of patriarchal oppression” is the feminist take. like sometimes i start to think the plot has been lost.
