I miss people using non-medicalized terms for other people's passions

like. well and good to talk about "hyperfixations," "special interests [in the context of an autistic person's favorite subject]," or "infodumping" if you have ADD/ADHD or autism, or are talking about someone who is, but...that's not everyone who feels strongly about something, obsesses, or loves talking about their interests. those words mean specific things, associated with specific forms of neurodivergence

don't assume everyone is comfortable with that language

"rambling" is a word; so is "ranting." "obsession" is a word. "passion" is a word. learn them and use them

It's kinda shocking to me how few people seem to know how prevalent the 'my great grandmother was cherokee' myth is and how it's almost never actually true, especially when it comes with things like 'never signed up' or 'fell off the trail' or 'courthouse burned down destorying the documentation' etc etc.

People just don't even seem to know the history like.. when the Trail happened. My great great great grandfather was 2 years old during Removal in 1838, so peoples 'my great grandmother hid in the mountains!' is so clearly wrong. And we have rolls. From before and after removal, rolls done by cherokee nation and others by the government, rolls that were not stored in one random flammable courthouse. It's not difficult to find the actual evidence of ancestry.

And just.. there are lots of ways those family stories get started. It was a practice during the confederacy to claim cherokee ancestry to show one's family had 'deep roots in the south' that they were there before the cherokee were removed. Many people pretended to be cherokee and applied for the Guion-Miller payout just to try to steal money meant for cherokees - 2/3rds of the applicants were denied for having 0 proof of actual cherokee ancestry. [We even see lawyers advertising signing up for the Miller roll just to try to get free money.] And the myth even started in some families in the cherokee land lotteries, where the land stolen from us was raffled off, including the house and everything that was left behind when the cherokees were removed. We have seen people whose families just take these things stolen from the cherokee family and adopt them into their own family story, saying that they were cherokee themselves.

If you had some family story about being cherokee and you wanna have proof one way or the other, check out this Facebook group run by expert cherokee genealogists that do research for free. Just please read the rules fully and respect the researchers. They run thousands of people's ancestries a year and their average is only around 0.7% of lines they run actually end up having true cherokee ancestry.

I’ve decided that any and all anon hate I get in the future is gonna be pitted against other anon hate I get in a poll and battled out gladiator style for which insult is worse. Gives me something funny to do with it since I get rude anons semi regularly and these days none of them are funny enough to publish on their own.

The two contestants!

Contestant A;

And contestant B;

Some additional information to sway your vote regarding each hate anon!

I’m not even a DID system, we have OSDD-1b (medically recognized)

I do in fact identify as pan and gay. So at least contestant A is correct in their assumptions

I am in fact fat! So contestant B at least got one part right

I am proud of my gay pan identity so not much Emotional Damage there

Fake claiming is stupid so also not much Emotional Damage there either

Now, time to see them battle it out!

Poll lasts for one week. There is no prize for the winner, as I am the winner for being able to make funny posts off of people trying and failing to get under my skin.

The tag I’ll be using for this is ‘anon hate arena’. So block or whitelist as you please.

emmet already knew what happened to ingo. it was obvious. veeerrrryyyyy obvious. but not to others, he supposes. it’s fine. emmet is nothing but a patient man. he can wait a while until the others finally come across a clue.

ever since he was a boy, emmet knew more things than everyone. puzzles? he already knew the answer before being given it. new learning material. seemingly everything was memorized perfectly in mere moments. mysteries? give him one he’ll enjoy ad it’ll be done in five minutes max. of course this meant he always knew what the outcome of a battle would be but he always put his all in it. after all, a battle is not fun unless both participants are serious about it. it wouldn’t be fair to either party otherwise.

gear station already had measures in place in case if either boss or both bosses went missing. the station was using plan ingo when emmet was taken in for questioning about ingo’s disappearance. nobody in nimbasa thought of him at fault for his brother’s disappearance but it was mostly a safety precaution. also to get the league off of the city’s metaphorical back. emmet kept the knowledge of what happened to himself, it would only cause problems for the station and he would hate for his employees and passengers to deal with everything the league would have in store for them. instead, he claimed he was doing his own investigation but was being slowed down with all the work he was doing to keep the subway running. that unfortunately didn’t satisfy the league.

emmet was getting quite tired of them. verrrryyy tired. he needed a break. but he also didn’t want to leave the station. just because he knew practically everything didn’t mean he saw his employees taking charge and making him use some of his years worth of vacation days. and also sending him to hoenn of all regions. at least it isn't kalos?

now, what will he do when he's on vacation? help people. obviously. emmet is a public worker at heart and he loves to help others. he manages to set up a detective agency and get a fitting wardrobe (courtesy of elesa) in two weeks. he quickly gains notoriety in the local town's population for how quickly he's able to solve cases and how he seemingly knows everything. of course he doesn't do this under his actual name. where would the fun in that be? he gives himself a pen name, like authors do.

edogawa ranpo.

that's what the people know him as.

the people know that ranpo worked solo for two months until the mysterious additions of "edgar allan poe" and "nancy springer" to the agency. little did emmet know (even with knowing almost everything) that introducing them would kickstart another journey to go on. this time with much more on the line.

I don't know if you saw but there is a video of Jason B yelling at Jesse on set of PD!

I did and I am trying so hard to bite my tongue but the struggle is real.

The reason this is upsetting is because people that foster the kind of abuse that Jason does - that made multiple people leave the show - aren't people that stop, they just learn how to hide it better.

The other reason this is upsetting is because this fandom is as predictable as you'd expect them to be. They blamed and shamed Sophia for coming forward and trying to ruin the show, when she named Jason. To this day she is still being told by people on the PD set to stop talking about what happened, to leave it alone. But the moment it was Jesse on the other end of it, suddenly everyone remembers what she said about him and now they believe how awful he is.

Its disgusting. I am so disgusted by so many people in the fandom.

I just can't fathom how you can have your personal belief of someone sway you away from the truth. It was one for Sophia to come forward with accusations and have people not believe them (even though that's fucking awful and wrong), but Jason was made to publicly apologize for his behaviour and join anger management classes (they didn't take btw). SO in a world where we should believe women who come forward - there was a literal admittance of guilt....that this fandom still chose not to believe.

smh kids these days don't understand the point of rickrolling. "haha nice try but the ads on the video prevented me from being rickrolled!" so what you're saying is... you clicked on the link? you clicked on my silly little link expecting something else, but it was actually rick astley's infamous music video? sorry bud, just because you didn't take the time to look in the mirror doesn't mean i missed you with my clown makeup beam. you're still wearing it.

To the anon in my inbox, unconsensual trauma dumping is not cute no matter what. I don’t give a flying fuck what “reason” you have :33

[controversial-blorbo-bracket]

when it comes to anime characters, it's always the Western fandom that bash the characters while Japan actually appreciates their characters for the role they play in the story.

Its almost like manga is not based off Western values because it is JAPANESE based.

Westerners think everything should cater to them and its hilarious to watch these people be bitches about everything.
