anyway i think the overcomplication of queer labels has really done a disservice to younger (or newly discovered) queer folks trying to figure themselves out. you dont need to know every aspect and detail or your sexuality, gender, preference, etc. sometimes you just gotta let things happen and you’ll figure it out as you go. you may never have a word for it and that’s okay.

so sick and tired of people writing fics about jeremy treating kevin like shit over kevin leaving jean at the nest like that is either 1) in character 2) something jean would appreciate or 3) fair. do you even bother to read the books you’re writing fanfic about or is the urge to create cheap angst so overwhelming you can’t see past the tropes you write for every other fictional pairing you like? the idea that jean would appreciate jeremy going out of his way to poke old wounds in his and kevin’s relationship when jean himself does not even like for jeremy to joke about kevin near him is absurd, and that’s without mentioning the fact that jeremy is not so clueless as to think he has any idea of what the nest was like, or why kevin felt he had to leave the way he did. if you need something to make your ship more interesting thinking beyond your flat interpretation of it is a lovely start, but don’t use kevin’s name and storyline if you’re just going to butcher it for the sake of a milquetoast sob fest the characters involved in would not even appreciate

Not to continually compare apples and oranges, but I so often think about how much bbh has flourished on qsmp compared to d/smp,,, a lot because his fellow creators no longer just use him as the butt of a joke that so blatantly crosses his boundaries. He's no longer "that guy I'm gonna curse around just cause I know he gets mad about it" once people find out he'd rather keep his streams PG, they actually respect that and do their best to respect that. Which, tbh, makes the couple of times where someone gets him to say a curse word in another language all the better. Hes no longer "that guy who screams LANGUAGE at people." Hes an incredibly developed character that everyone on the island adores, and only occasionally teases by tricking him into saying Culero. And guess what? It turns out him not cursing doesn't have any real effect on his character's story! It doesn't dumb it down, it's not less powerful than others on the server.
It's amazing how well someone can flourish when given the proper respect and decency they deserve. When you're not constantly on edge from everyone pushing your boundaries, you can finally do more for yourself and the people around you!!!!

Breaking news!
A man who came back after being imprisoned abroad found a squatter in his home that tried to prevent him from entering and even force him out. After overpowering the squatter, the owner was generous enough to offer him some rooms or even half of the house but the squatter demanded the whole property and wouldn't accept the owner's terms. The owner continued to allow the violent squatter water and power and some rooms in the house despite his intentions. But all hell broke loose after the squatter r@ped the owner's daughter and murdered his son, and took the daughter he r@ped hostage. Now the owner is finally trying to get the squatter out of his house with his firearm causing a commotion across the neighborhood. Seeking help after all he's been through, the owner was disgusted and disheartened that his neighbors instantly sided with the squatter and wanted the owner gone.
Who's really at fault? The owner. Why? Because he didn't just turn that squatter's head into red mist the first time

no actually I’d like to hear your thoughts on the isat ending
Like i said it felt really tropey and by that i meant that it’s just Everything Good Happens forever and…..that’s it ? like idk we were building up to this huge catharsis sort of thing and then we got to it and it was so sudden and not a good payoff and just kind of nothingburger of an ending . the fact that everyone just forgives siffrin bothers me, or at least the fact that they don’t confront them about the shit they’ve said and done. call me a mental illness villainizer but i think if you’re a fucking asshole and doing the most insensitive things to the people you care about then hey, i think those ppl have a right to fucking tell you off for it. likeeee idk being at your lowest point …… not an excuse …. not feeling it chief ……. like sure the message is to move past your mistakes or whatever but ? that doesn’t mean just getting away with it ??? and i just really don’t understand Why everyone forgives him. honestly at the end of the day the ending is just one problem, the root of which are the characters. everyone feels like trope cardboard cutouts. oh, this is the smart one. this is the smol bean. this is the himbo. and they all care for each other btw. Did u hear that? they all care for each other. we’re not really going to explain to you why these people are so close or what they went through together but just trust me man they’re sooo found famy. like …. okay. i’ve played 30 hours of this game and not once did i buy that any of the characters really cared about each other. like??? why???? You’re telling me everyone super cares about siffrin even though they barely know them?? you’re telling me siffrin cares about everyone sooo much even though he never even bothered to find out their problems before ? Wat ? and this just breaks the ending more because literally whyyy do these people care about him so bad. and then it’s just whyyy does siffrin Have to tell them anything he doesn’t even seem to know them that well. everyone feels like colleagues and Just Friends at best. and so the ending just seems really forced. like it was written by that type of tumblr user who’s always talking about aww why does the found family have to break up after the end of the journey :( which is like fiiiiine. i guess. but u guys know that u have to build up to it right?? you can’t just tell me they’re Family Members(tm) 102829 times and that they super care about each other source: trust. you can’t just do that and then expect me to believe it ….. It feels unearned. the ending feels unearned and i don’ttttt understand what i’m supposed to take away from it . that it’s ok to fuck people up because you’re traumatized and insecure?? that you have to talk about your deepest problems with people you barely know??? i just dont know. Like i said if im being honest the problems with this game’s writing are more than just the ending, it just stands out so much because there’s a lot of build up and then just …… That
