#NO HATE TO ANYONE

[drakesvalley]

The wildest part about being a system and having known you are a system for a while (6+ years for us) HAS to be seeing people who are just figuring it out fall into holes that you've long left behind.

Like. Yeah. We also thought we needed to keep tabs on everyone to increase communication. In the end it became too unwieldy. Especially since DID evolves with what you experience all the time.

Microlabels are cool and I fully support anyone who uses them, but figuring out what to call every single structure in your system isn't for us anymore.

Another thing we notice is people who try their best to know who is fronting at all given times. A lot of that comes naturally to us nowadays, but it's also... OK not to know. Especially if you're not focusing on anything system related at the time.

I guess a lot of this boils down to, it's okay not to care. It's okay to go with the flow of things and figure out at your own pace. Identity is fluid, especially if you have a dissociative disorder. You don't HAVE to have everything figured out 100% of the time.

It's okay to take it slow. It's okay to not know. It's okay to just exist for a bit. It's okay to live and experience things beyond being a system.

To all the people who are just starting to comprehend this. You do not need to know and label exactly what is happening in your head all the time. Fuck, we sure don't. And we're happier for it.

It's okay to just be you.

I genuinely hate when people invalidate demiromantic/demisexual/other labels in general by saying somethin like "OMG!!!! why do these labels exist that's how every relationship is!!!!! what has this generation come to?!!?,!?!!"

some people out here are dating someone they just met two days ago. while it literally took me two whole years of getting to know someone before having a crush on them. can y'all please not find excuses to invalidate aspec/arospec people. thanks

The take that Moffat had to make every companion important or make the Doctor the most important person ever is extremely funny to me. It’s definitely true that for Amy and Clara, they are presented originally as “important” but their later appearances always focus on dismantling the notion of being simply “important.”

S6 and 7 for Amy begun to progressively unravel things like her marriage to Rory and the “girl who waited” concept is sidelined aside for moments where its plot convenient (Wedding Of River Song) while Clara originally begins similarly, her actions of recklessly jumping into the time stream and her own interior life is put under scrutiny in S8 and 9. Plus Bill and Rory are just some girl and guy respectively 😭

The whole point of The Pandorica Opens and A Good Man Goes To War literally is an attack of the notion of the Doctor’s own personal importance and how it has grown to the point of undermining what it actually means to be The Doctor. The Pandorica Opens is literally so funny because the entire basis HINGES on undermining his grand monologue. Series 8-10 is an exploration of what it means to rise to the occasion of being “The Doctor” and concludes that anyone, as long as they are kind, has the right to embody the mantle. The Doctor Falls is arguably the most least-stakes finale of all of NuWho, the entire thesis being, “Without hope. Without virtue. Without reward” to illustrate that very point.

Moffat is unable to catch a break and that’s so funny, he can go, “The Hybrid is a metaphor” and he is still misunderstood 😭

Fandoms love flip flopping, where once the main interpretation was of an abusive Carmilla, now commenting on her characters flaws gets you called out for slander (politely called out, no hate to that individual I respect u greatly <3)

ANYWAY. My Opinion on Carmilla. She is Morally better than the mechanisms, and her intentions were good, however the relationship between her and her immoral children WAS ABUSIVE. In both directions.

I shall look at all Cannon Interactions between Carmilla and the mechs:

-Carmilla specifically never starved them for THAT long

-Carmilla installed a morality switch into brian. (the mechs claim it was for cruel entertainment purposes, I do not believe them)

-Carmilla did not bioprograme the mechs

-The Mechs airlocked Carmilla "Lots"

-Carmilla didn't leave through the airlock the last time

-The Mechanisms are described as "on the run" from carm

-"it always ends like this" refering to Jonny panicking as Carmilla drugs him in homestuck

Its common for the mechs to be violent towards each other, but that seems more like banter to me. With Carmilla its different because thats a parental figure grasping for control over her children she loves, inflicting violence to keep them in line. The Mechanisms Inflict it back, airlocking her and trying to get away from her because they see her as impeding on their freedom.

The Mechs assume Carmilla made the morality switch for entertainment because their own motivations for doing anything are for entertainment. I think they see carmillas modivations as Trying to control them, hold power over them, when her actual motivations were to stop them from hurting people.

The Relationship between Carm and the Mechs was an unhealthy power struggle between individuals who love eachother but were ultimately too at odds with eachother's morals to ever work out a healthy situation. In the end Carmilla realized it was for the best if they parted ways.

anytime someone spells coriolanus’s nickname as “corio” instead of “coryo” i die a little more inside. like i get that due to the spelling of his name you would think that but in the books it’s spelled coryo and the books mean so much to me.

[astrophysicist-jd]

Any other Aromantic allos feel like this some times?

ALSO! No hate to any asexuals, love you guys💛

[lilscottishlesbian]

Small rant on me kinda being sad that the whole past brides stuff kinda was just abandoned this fandom with the creators

Kinda wish Diabolik lovers was more psychological horror than romance.

Like I get some of the romance is nice but idk I know a lot of people Like Ayato x Yui but the concept of the sacrificial brides kinda just got pushed under the rug after More Blood. If you like Ayayui no hate to you

No hate to Yui what’s so ever she’s a good protagonist but with her “fixing” the boys it just kinda feels like “oh the past girls should’ve been nice to them” and if Yui did survive just because of the blood she has I’m pretty sure a lot of past spirits of the brides will be pissed as the only reason why she’s even alive is because of her blood.

And they would also be pissed off with one of their possible killers and abusers fallen in love and get to live a happy life they were robbed of.

And with a lot of being turned into familiars it just makes it more sad the (mainly Sakamakis) can live a happy life with the woman they love while they’re just there , unable to move on.

(If I get some of the information incorrect please do correct me (nicely) about it and please don’t get offended, if you like the romance then you do you and you enjoy yourself)

Okay, this has been bothering me, and I'm gonna go into it, cuz I feel like being mad that the fandom didn't get better is friggin valid, so imma get negative here at some serious missed potential, if that's not your jam, 100% get it, please scroll past.

We have a season with 20 episodes, each of which are 20 minutes long. That is an unprecedented amount of time for a ninjago season- I would argue maybe too much time, but that's not what we're getting into here. Even just the first half is the length of your standard ninjago season back in the day. There is no excuse for not taking your time with ideas that deserve time. You've got time. You've got too much time.

If you're gonna do a mystical mind prison that traps you in your worst fears, you gotta do it! You can't do this wimpy half commit thing you're doing here. What is this cop out that's like three minutes long? This is a top tier trope! Loads of stories do this- for a good reason, it's a great way to get lots of new insight into your characters, not to mention have fun with environments, hypotheticals, bend logic, and do some creative filmmaking. And here you are, inventing a whole weird fictional animal to facilitate your nightmare state, and it legitimately takes up so little screen time that it hurts! What? Did you not have enough to say about your characters to fill out a full subplot? You thinking that surface level about things? Or was the basketball tournament fake out with the dragons so important to the story that you couldn't cut it out for some character introspection?

It's so short and pointless, it doesn't functionally do anything except tell us very directly "Here's what this character fears, and will have to get past this season!" No looking into why or making some progress/losing progress on the issue in the dream state. We don't even get to see everyone's visions, let alone see any interconnectivity between them. It's just such a waste of a classically exciting set up. And why on earth would you place this concept at the beginning of the season? Put it at the turning point man! That's what this scenario is made for! Literalizing characters overcoming mental challenges so that it's interesting to watch! Using the nightmare dream sphere for exposition in the most boring possible version of the trope is just dumbfounding.

I mean seriously? The black void? That's all you've got? You gonna go the Cars 2 route and set our supposedly deep nightmare sequence in a black void? No symbolism to the void even? No distorting of visuals within the void? Nothing? Can you get any more basic? Did you really put that little creativity into this? Like, the whole point of the nightmare dreamscape is to get creative! So much symbolism and messaging that you can easily tie into things! the possibilities are literally endless! But yeah, I guess Arin running in place is pretty meaningful too, I'm sure it took you a while to come up with something so profound.

There's a reason this story beat usually makes up at least half the plot of any given episode it's in! There's so much room to explore. The potential for crosscutting between nightmares is so high, drawing parallels between characters. Maybe they're all interconnected, and the mentally strongest of the team breaks free to help the others in their nightmares. Maybe it's a revelation point for the rest of the team as they see a dark past of another character they didn't know about. Or maybe it's just the audience who gets new insight into a sheltered corner of a character's mind, or a way to reveal to them a dark secret someone is hiding. You can also have fun subverting expectations, maybe one of the nightmares is just objectively pretty funny. And, the best thing about any dream environment you're creating, you can have the characters get involved in insanely creative fights and action scenes where they literally beat up their mental roadblocks with cool looking and symbolically important powers or tools.

Like, I know the fandom is losing their mind over this scene because 'omg Nya's gonna be so sad cuz of the memory loss(that hasn't even been revealed in narrative yet, so the irony doesn't even really work)' but I just need you to understand that the full fledged angst, character growth, and introspection y'all are speculating could have theoretically happened in Kai's plot is what we could have had for everyone. For a full episode. Like it deserved to be. And it would have been really cool, and really satisfying, and beautifully and symbolically stunning, because countless other people have done it, it's honestly not too difficult. Stop freaking out like they did a good job with this- they didn't do a good job with this. They couldn't even bother to give everyone a vision, they just gave up on the concept halfway through.

Not to mention how accessible and valuable this type of storytelling is to kids! Literalizing some of the big abstract issues these characters are supposedly battling this season would be a great way to get kids to grasp these ideas, but instead it's literally like two and a half minutes of slightly ominous stuff to bate us before we move on.

Stop teasing us with interesting stuff and then not actually following through! This is not how you do storytelling!

This one would like a moment of your time.

Ok so, I've taken a gander at the newest Gore content great stuff. It's not marriage.

Now! I have nothing against marriage! Nothing against anyone! However, for Gore? Makes no sense. First of all he's 19-21, second just got out of one hell of a life, third still kinda fighting to survive (it's Skyrim let's be honest here), and fourth when would he ever? Specifically in Skyrim, marriage is a very religious thing, and he's not. For me (as a player) it would not be meaningful to have a Skyrim marriage or be married at all. I'm a big believer in everything needs meaning narratively, especially when it comes to romance (ty Leli mwah). So that's all to say marriage does not make sense for a character like Gore. And yeah maybe I'm biased because I literally help out with Gore, but this is my little literature brain going coocoo.

If you read all this, this one thanks you for your time.

Now spoilers ahead:

What's more meaningful? Well I'm glad you asked! Choosing the dragonborn free of ceremony, free of religion, free of obligation. Choosing the dragonborn not only as his family but also his life partner. A big theme of the mod is regaining agency. He specifically chooses the dragonborn. That's big! That's huge! He chooses to take them to 'meet his mom', something meaningful for him! Because for him, the player is all he has. He's done letting other people choose for him. And that my dear reader is meaningful. I constantly think of "if jo-lee was tugging on one sleeve and you the other; I'd choose you." Or something like that.

Plus he explicitly says it isn't marriage and he won't get married. So...

Anyway it's a silly Skyrim mod, but hey I like it. It's just neat.

I guess some people are confused about me saying Bakugou defeated AFO. I really meant Bakugou witnessed AFO defeat while stalling him if the leaks i’ve seen are right. The point I was trying to make was that someone else like Midoriya or All Might should have been there instead. Like I think it would be much better if All Might could finally see the man who caused him so much grief finally die. By having being the only one there to celebrate (again i’m getting this from leaks if i’m wrong please tell me) instead of All Might or Midoriya just felt wrong.
