I am in a bit of a romantic mood so if anyone has any specific romance fantasy books they’d recommend (preferably queer I’m soooorrryy)

#I take individual recommendations to weigh more than just announcements or compilations cause like if you loved it enough to tell someone #about it it must have some positives #Please note I need drama in my romance if there’s not at least one near death experience I’m not interested #hopefully I’m going to have some gift cards to use after my bday

the fact that irving canonically survives through the end of asunder to be at wynne's funeral is so fucking funny to me. nothing but love and respect for MY unstoppable cockroach morally grey machiavellian mage dad!!! he's survived in his position through multiple attempted rites of annulment and blood mage plots popping up left right and center around him. the chantry keeps trying to stamp him out but his dodge game is simply out of this world, divine. civil wars, political machinations and minefields, chantry atrocities, this wily old motherfucker is dodging and weaving his way through it all, not-quite-no-hits-taken-running-it-but-honestly-close-enough-under-the-circumstances style. if solas does succeed in tearing down the veil I would fully believe that one of the like three people still alive at the end of it all would be a very weary 90 year old first enchanter irving going 'oh this shit again huh'. the maker has cursed him for his hubris and his paperwork is never finished (affectionate, it's fine he canonically loves paperwork)

#we should have had the option to leave him in the fade instead of hawke or a warden #he would've just annoyedly shuffled his way back out of there a week later #dragon age #dragon age origins #first enchanter irving #he must be SO annoying to the chantry because it's heavily implied he's made his playground #out of tirelessly finding technicalities and loopholes to exploit that they can't *quite* call him on without domino effects going off #I think first enchanter in the circle system at origins times is a position that invariably and inevitably leaves you morally compromised #but I feel he really does his best within the rules he's given to play with and personally i love him a bit for that. and also #for being an unkillable lil shit. insufferable. inconquerable in his 'I'm about to be such an annoyance to you' impish spirit.#the I'm going to suffer but guess what. so are you of it all. traumatize the chantry back #I just imagine sophia sending letters home right before the vote for independence like '...dad I am hearing some INSANE rumours out here #what the actual fuck is going on back home???'#and he's like 'nothing that you need to worry about sweetie just keep living your best life and have fun killing darkspawn <3'#(there's something that makes me feel So much about how consistently his stance is like... 'you'll always be welcome here #but the circle doesn't *need* you; go be a warden and live your life'. he managed to fineagle freedom for you somehow and won't let you #turn and glance back. not even once. I feel somehow both so abandoned and so incredibly loved it's wild)#oc: sophia amell

we need to kill everyone at sm entertainment

#you know how i said i didnt want to elaborate on RJ’s bbl messages #because i would go on a tangent about how sm doesn’t protect their artists #yeah well imagine how i felt when i saw them made him apologize for that stupid ass shit #like really making your artist seem like the bad guy when he has psycho bitches invading his privacy #for 2 seconds of attention #not even positive attention btw #like can you imagine getting calls from random crazy bitches when you’re just trying to live your life #ppl who aren’t supposed to have your number #freaky ass fuck #but no they dont gaf how that makes him feel #they aren’t even imagining it #brainless fucking cunts #and even worse the company you’re under is doing bare minimum if even that to keep you safe #or to even make you feel some semblance of safety #like genuinely evil as fuck #it doesn’t even end with that #ppl crawling through vents to see hc #breaking into his fucking house like maniacs #like bitch are you out of your rabid ass fucking mind #company taking forever to address hc/jn’s scandal #which was false btw #and you have their unintelligent fucking fans believing the shit immediately and throwing photocards out like they killed someones mother #over something they couldnt even wait to see was true or not #bc if it’s in a headline it must be true right #wrong #but that’s an entirely different issue #honestly all of this just goes back to how kpop companies market their artists as like minimum 5 sublevels below human #not just sm #which is really stupid like you’re grown as fuck shivering shaking throwing up at the IDEA of your idol getting pussy #like he’s grown asfk

MARIA!!! YOUR POST WAS ON THE CLOCK APP!!!

Good news, people agree with ur opinion btw..

great………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

#appreciate hearing it. i like knowing when i’ve been spotted in the wild #for better or for worse #also it’s the ‘sotry time’ i love when that happens ❤️#asks #ok4ru #the uh reading of this that made it onto youtube sparked some Nasty commentary #like it was mostly positive and agreement #but there’s always that one person like ‘do NOT tell children this. life just gets worse forever and you’re not preparing them adequately’#the other fun comments i get from time to time are like ‘… i’ve liked this ‘mundane’ adult stuff forever?’#that alone is fine but it’s annoying when coupled with ‘excuse you i had to do my own chores from a young age you must have been pampered’#like yeah man i had to do all that as a kid too i just didn’t Like it yet #gggrghhghhgggg #i hope this post can bring people joy. i’m glad it has #but it certainly doesn’t bring me joy anymore that’s what i know lol #but the two pokémon plushies it was about will bring me joy forever

genuinely, how do you learn to cope with the idea you'll have mental health issues for the rest of your life? how to you learn to find peace with the fact that rock bottom is always going to be just around the corner and theres nothing you can really do to stop it?

#i guess this is rhetorical but also if you have genuine tips i probably do want to hear them #im trying to adopt a 'be happy now because youll be sad later' attitude but some days its so hard to deal with the idea ill never be fully #in control. ill never be fullt stable. something will always set me off. ill always downswing #im at peace with the idea that whatevers wrong in my head is for life i just need to figure out how to be content knowing itll always be #bad again.#id like it to be easier #nyxtalks #idk stupid shit sent me panicking and the lingering effects have me catastophising and near crying about things that literally dont exist #its just in my head. i am seeing something that isnt there and i must remind myself that #and this is by no means a bad day in the scheme of things for me either #i just had a few awful thoughts #but it reminds me of how bad i get #idk its not that serious its fine #im gonna. maybe try and find something positive in the world now and stop thinking things that arent even true

Anyway is it just me or has the internet been full of negativity lately. Or did I just break my feed somehow

#lets be fr should i just unfollow every trans activism blog on here bc i swear to god all it does is make me feel worse #i get introduced to new useless discourse every day and its just like ok can we all be transgender in peace #can we have some more blogs that are just about trans joy for once or do i have to do it myself #BC NONE OF THEM TALK ABT REAL PROBLEMS its ALL online discourse and infighting 😭😭#like do i have to do the work here??!!! MUST I MAKE MY OWN POSITIVITY BLOG???

Reminding myself that I resolved not to delete any fics that have a bookmark on them😭

#there's this one frostmaster fic that must be TERRIBLE cos it fails on any metric but for some reason people bookmarked it #though the visible ones seem to be mostly people who bookmark literally everything they read so...#it has one (1) comment and like a thousand hits :|#i think it's not a bad fic! but apparently i am wrong about that :'(#BUT if there's one person out there who silently loves it i don't want to take it from them #i have invented a silent yet adoring audience in my head for fics that “don't do numbers”. between this and the “reason other than quality”#that i preemptively invent for any fic to flop i am left perhaps overly confident in my skillz but also a bit less worried about stats.#btw 'fair alfrida' didn't go too well either but i had fun writing it so fuck it i don't care (...much)#more positively: the frigga gen did v well and the sylki-on-sakaar one i fretted about for months does not actually repel readers!#and this year i feel like i'm doing fairly well despite posting a few quite niche fics :D #tbh some of my own fics are things i probably wouldn't click on cos they wouldn't seem like my jam from the summary/tags #and i beat myself up less about only writing short oneshots now that i've posted a couple of longer works as well #the sylki arranged marriage fic is on-track to be my second-longest fic ever (the bar was low but shhhh)#...as you can see i still put too much importance on length of fic even though i prefer reading shorter works meself :|#ANYWAY STATS BACK OFF NOW I THINK

Sonic is so unromantic and unbothered by relationships that I legit didn't even realise that Sonic is supposed to canonical reciprocate Elises feelings before the end 6 his 06 campaign. I legit thought it was one-sided for the longest time, but nope.

The problem is that I think this is actually too in character for Sonic, and if they legit tried to give him a 'proper' romance arc, then it would just feel fake compared.

FOR REAL this is the only game that elise appears in so i cant really comment on her typical behavior or what her other relationships are like . but with sonic i Can do that . and randomly making a new friend and becoming very close with them or having some emotional moments with them over the course of the adventure is just average sonic behavior that doesnt usually come with any blatant romantic implications regardless of the gender of the other person. and imo he doesnt really treat elise much differently than he does his other friends

the moments that do kinda read as if theyre meant to be romantic only feel that way because im watching them after being told theyre supposed to be if i had seen it without that knowledge i probably would have just been like Oh sonic and his new bestiAHHHHHHHH KISSING JUMPSCARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#sonic is the king of not giving a fuck about romance #official media putting him in a blatantly undeniably romantic situation on purpose feels unnatural and wrong #asks #mandatory disclaimer that this post isnt elise hate i literally like elise #just felt the need to put that there . because some elise fans seemingly assume that anyone who doesnt have a super positive #opinion of son/elise must automatically hate elise by extension. not true #i mean i guess its not an unfair assumption considering the way the entire internet has treated elise for the past decade and a half #but i dont want people thinking i hate her . because i dont

inadvertently stopped using my freckle fade cream without thinking.... right around the time i started making gifs of felix.... coincidence?

#positive influence.....#i do wonder sometimes how jarring it must have been for he and lil chris to go from australia to korea #bc i copped shit for being pale and freckly as a kid #i have a core memory of this girl talia wearing a country bumpkin costume with these cartoonish freckles drawn on and she pointed at me #and was like Lol im jessie haha and i was like Okay so you want to fight??#another time had to do some speech and when i finished and had questions from my classmates and two boys just asked me why i was pale #and why they could see idk i guess my bloodvessels in my legs ??? i didnt even notice like i was just like UHHHH idk ask about my topic #had so many instances like that and they werent terrible but it did make me insecure #like in the 00s here being tan was /it/ you had to be nice and tanned- go lay in the sun and ignore we are number one in melanoma deaths #like it was so consistently the thing... prob why i have so many freckles bc i didnt tan in the sun i freckled #but in both felix and chans aus photos they were quite tanned!#so imagine going from Hey go lay in the sun and get nice and brown ya pale fucker to Do Not Do That. Be pale as a ghost #white as fuck twilight vampire printer paper ass complexion or else you arent the beauty standard must have been so...... odd #idk beauty standards are so fucked and stupid #at least for me it was just like mean it wasnt like systemic. still wasnt nice but its not damaging the same way #but yeah I imagine some of the cultural differences must have been jarring and weird #like when chan said he was glad to get sex ed in australia bc it was comprehensive here and its not something i would have thought about #but yeah he went to school here and there he would know #idk must be hard to be an idol and straddle that line of not wanting to cause any ripples but having your own ideas and beliefs #oh i'd love to talk to him off the record lmao #dont take this as anti korea sentiment btw like australia is also wack #it just must be interseting and sometimes hard...#wow these tags are long SORRY

there's a certain quality the harmonies of like... early to mid 2000s alt rock has. which i am obsessed with... like i wanna do that. i NEED to figure out how to write harmonies that sound like that

#ari opinion hour #i sort of understand it but not necessarily well enough to do it on command #i think i sort of achieved the sound of it with my blaseball winter exchange song i did for snow but specifically only in the very last bit #like only with the 'im not alive anymore' part #(which sidenote i wish id had the second half faster + w more drive but its not like that was like a full recording which i could do)#i think i just need my music to have more teeth in general cause it scratches an itch that i think i must have developed due to some aspect #of music school. its probably my dissatisfaction with the attitudes in the classical world #<- which understand i say that in the same way that like my jazz prof does. the classical world doesnt have enough teeth nor enough #understanding of the way in which music is like. another art. and art needs to be able to have teeth and use elements normally regarded as #''undesirable'' on purpose because art is there to make you feel emotions and not just the positive ones and not just sadness or anger in #terms of the negative ones #art is there to make u feel ALL extant emotions and that includes boredom disgust fear jealousy pity cowardice apathy overwhelmedness etc #also the classical world i find often forgets what the word ''play'' means #i am of the opinion that perfection is a waste of time if i wanted perfect i'd ask a computer to do it for me. i want real #anyway. i forgot what this post was even about lol point is i need to figure out how to write harmonies that have that soaring quality that #like. you can hear it in like helena by mcr and wake me up by evanescence and stuff. and frankly most of the songs on three cheers for swee #revenge which i am listening to now for the first time. i need to learn more about this stuff maybe ill listen to the evanescence album tha #song is from next.#or something i should really be working on my essay but theres no way i wont have it done in time which is good i think i just mostly have #to worry about sources and stuff but even that should be relatively easy i think

people will go all "just be yourself and love yourself! :)" and then go "if you don't act the way i want, you gotta reprogram your entire way of thinking then reach into the very core of who you are and what makes you you, discard it, and replace it with this better, friendlier, more empathetic version that's coincidentally far more convenient for me to deal with than any other possible compromise we can make that you can do for me but doesn't stretch your mind to nothing but thin bands of what you'd consider 'You' :))))))"

#mine.txt #just thinking about all those 'think positively!' and 'romanticize your life!' posts #like on one hand i can see their merit cause self-hatred though instinctual is ultimately detrimental to your mental health #but on the other hand...some of them (a lot of them) are really just unashamedly asking other people to completely change themselves huh #all in the guise of ''positive thinking'' ''self-love'' and ''betterment'' no less #i suppose i shouldnt be surprised considering most people can barely grasp the concept of someone who Genuinely has muted emotions #as a natural state instead of a depressive symptom #not to mention the human quality of escalating things #so ofc tumblr which seems to currently be in its mental health recovery phase would naturally lean in so hard towards ''radical happiness''#but man sometimes i really do just wanna shake the person from behind the screen and say #'no! dont you understand! this is just how i am! stop implying that everybody who doesnt feel joy at simply waking up is a miserable hag!'#sometimes they dont even imply it they just straight up say it 💀#im honestly fine (as in idc) with seeing them but they remind me so much of those toxic positivity bitches that sell you random hoaxes #and tell you that youre ''ruining their vibes'' when youre not just beaming like the sun every waking second #well idc most of the time that is #sometimes they just trigger my szpd (and my dpd weirdly enough)#with the szpd obviously i dont like being told what to do and what to feel and having some rando assume things about me #but with the dpd its like #oh i must be doing something wrong ofc this stranger on the internet knows more about emotions and feelings than me #cause im a dumbass who doesnt Feel things therefore i must do what they say even to my own detriment #this mainly applies to those guilt-trippy ones so ive learned to steer clear of them #possibly even block the op

NZ just chased a TERF and antitrans activist from nz :)))

She was due to come to Wellington too but she ended up cancelling and leaving. THOUSANDS of people still showed up where she was meant to go to protest her anyway and show support for trans people. She never got to speak in Auckland or Wellington. Apparently there were protests in solidarity in Christchurch and other places too. This is pretty cool, I am really proud

More sources under the cut

There is hope in the world.

#i feel like people need some good news in regards to trans rights #the nationalist party leader is an idiot tho #'her right for free speech must be protected. you dont have to like what she says but you must protect her right'#'the way i would deal with this is debate and counter views you dont like'#theres no arguing with bigots asshole #anyway #my friend said she could she the protests from her windows #shay posts #ofc jkr is blasting nz on twitter and posie says its the 'worst place for women' which it utter bullshit but ya know terfs dont #rly give a shit about womens rights #how do i tag this #trans positivity #transgender #trans rights

I may be going insane currently but I'm fine

#things will turn out in whichever way the universe wills it #the nebulosity of some uncontextualized decision to be made must be disregarded #without informationit willonly reuslt in an anxiety spiral #my friends are at this point thoroughly exhausted with hearing about this or i would have so quickly been in their inboxes asking #for help so as to igure out what this all means #edit: my recent intensive noticing of angel numbers is not helping me on this #last message sent exactly at a time that indicates positive change and transformation???#and realistically its almost certainly nothing but like. what if it is something? what does it mean? what does it all mean????

billions also comedy gold presenting winston as a scapegoat for abuse culture fans when it's like but hey it can't be actual scapegoating if you Enjoy It or consider it Justified or experience Reassurance from Its Opportunity For A Group Cohesion Substitute For A Cohesion Based On An Inherent Equal Degree Of Belonging, The Absence Of Which Allows For, Encourages, Reinforces, & Rewards Scapegoating

it can't be Bullying if someone's Weird or you Just Don't Personally Like Them or Nobody's Actually Stopping You, Maybe At Least If They Don't See Too Much Of It, Maybe Others Are Supporting It

it can't be Abuse if you're just doing things Normally or are Following Rules or Aren't Feeling Malicious And Aren't Getting Divine Revelations Otherwise and probably it's just that a lot of abnormal people are being whiny &/or unfair &/or the Real malicious ones. kinda just like how that scapegoat is the real person ruining everything and really just forcing you to treat them like this

#might note hardly limited to billions; the series doing bog standard suffocatingly common [Being Normal can't be abusive] replication #nor is their Unaware Replication Of [it can't be ableist if i'm not reacting to ppl who walked up & said Hi I'm Autistic]#well abuse & traumatic treatment can't be Everywhere. like how umm sexism can't be everywhere. neither can white supremacy. ableism. cmon.#oh please not everything can be political. Just Be Normal. which makes it ''apolitical.''#now we all agree abuse can't ever be made palatable; insulated; easy. now ppl doing it never said it wasn't That bad.#if they did they must have been maliciously lying. whereas when i say it can't have been That bad; i mean it :)#and if that person says it was; well they must be lying. or clueless. or a pussy. or scheming to destroy me. Must be. Gotta #& we wouldn't be able to look around & see contexts of imbalance. who's vulnerable. who's life gets smaller. who's supported automatically #who's supported if someone even posits they May have done anything like No; Impossible; now instantly definitely get their ass #you can just go on all day about the ''um i'm just the Realistic Normality vessel'' arguments made boundlessly in bad faith #being like ohh Everyday Interactions / ''Normal'' Semi/Public Situations Can't Be Uncomfortable Imbalanced Dangerous Abusive....#if they are that must be So Rare & created only by Rare Bad Actors with Malicious Mens Rea (itself a great concept to make any act Okay)#something framed as Extreme must be an outlier. could never be part of everyone's everyday life & some much more than others.#could never be what's defined as Normal (associated with Superiority) like how Abuse can't be shit i'd think of as Normal #like how damn if ya don't just wanna kill the autistic coworker and everyone agrees & would clap & cheer if you did And That's Great #you'd have to feel Weird / Abnormal about it! b/c Weirdness & Abnormality is what's bad!#like the autism or the cptsd (the Real abuse can only be: inflicting the existence of a victim's survival skills on Superior Normals)#or whatever else gets pathologized with Polite ABA arguments about how it's not ''social skills'' so hide it or suffer the consequences #winston billions #having that perspective too like oh [our blessed successful conformity] [their barbaric xyz Issues]#if the best you can argue for or against smthing is as Normal or Weird respectively like. no. what's behind that door #the authority figure/s who must be supported lest this all crumble. vs the ruinerrrrrr #billions recognizing winston & tuk the next most shitted on would probably get along & have a mutually supportive friendship #billions also recognizing that mutual support better not be Allowed to get that far. lest this all crumble #like look see we Knew it. we knew the bottom tier ppl who don't really belong in the group who we bully & scapegoat are Always Ruining It.

rick and jessie irk me to my very soul

#SO UNNECESSARY #i think they especially bother me #bc going into s5 i was expecting richonne romantic development #and then he suddenly has these feelings for some rando #like ughdhdjjd #the walking dead #update: now that i finished rewatching s5 i take it back #i especially hate them bc they made jessie’s dv all about rick having feelings for her #instead of wanting to help based on principle bc it’s the right thing to do #rick basically only helped her bc he had a crush on her #like tffff #i must have scrubbed their scenes from my memory #bc the whole time i watching i was telling myself that it was the writers’ fault #that with the way they positioned everything it made it seem him helping her was only bc of his feelings for her #but that really i know that rick would help anyone in that situation bc he’s just a good guy #then she asked him out right if he would do this for anyone and he just flat out says no #like 👁️👄👁️#jfc rickkkkk #well im scrubbing all of this from my memory again and saying that rick would have helped her either way bc it’s the right thing to do #💅🏾✨

#just thinking aloud but #i dunno. kind of feel like the last Barrier between me and Normal Personness or whatever #is just. i feel so completely and utterly unable to feel empathy specifically with regards to children and childbearing and childrearing.#like. i have known ever since i was small that my parents lost other pregnancies before me and between me and my sister. and all i could #feel about that as a kid was 'thank god because i never wanted a sibling anyway' and 'uh well i never asked to be born soooo... so what'#and now as an adult. i know that it's a terrible thing to suffer a loss like that.#and i'd at least manage not to act inappropriately towards someone i knew if they were in that position.#but i still can't find any of the *feelings* about it.#which is strange because i usually feel Everything So Much.#i also still don't understand when people talk about like. instantly falling in love with their kid or whatever #like maybe i almost get it if it's a child you've gestated for nine months and then given birth to.#but i feel like people *must* be at least partially lying about it when it comes to things like adoption #because there'd be such a high psychological and social penalty to admitting that you felt anything less.#adoption in general drives me crazy like i cannot Believe that it's still just a really accepted alternative to having a biological child #when... any kid who has had to be removed from the circumstances into which they were born and given to new people #is surely going to be traumatised or have issues or however you want to put it.#and it can't possibly be the Same Thing as having a... fresh baby of your own.#anyway. i feel some sympathy for and plenty of logical understanding of children and parents.#but none of it makes sense to me on the level on which i usually connect with people.#and hell maybe everyone feels that way until they have a kid. in which case i think everyone #is wildly irresponsible for having those kids without knowing they're gonna like it or be good at it and hoping it'll just work out. lmao
