btw i will forever recommend just. refusing to engage in discourse. its free its easy and you literally arent missing anything LMAO - 99% of discourse on here is just on the most pointless petty shit that literally doesnt mean a single thing to anyone in real life (i am looking directly at you "pRo/AnTi" shippers), and the other 1% is genuinely important shit... that isnt going to be solved in any productive way by insulting '''the other side''' online. arguing with strangers online never changes anyones mind all youre doing is making yourself *and* your cause look annoying as hell :thumbsup: maybe chill out. find a hobby.
#dont even get me started on how apparently this entire fucking site has never heard of nuance in its life#im ngl dude i think if youre boiling down a complicated topic to 'well this is the good side (my side) and then the BAD EVIL SIDE'#and putting anyone who even slightly falls out of line with your beliefs on the evil side#like. thats not gonna be productive in the slightest right. you understand that right#if you wanna have meaningful nuanced discussions with people you actually know about serious topics then go for it!#just dont drag random strangers into it#if i have to see one more post with dumb bullshit acronyms that everyones expected to know that insults anyone who doesnt blindly agree wit#them i stg#'if you dont agree with this then clearly youre a [evil side] who hates [group] and does [bad thing]. theres no other logical explanation#for you possibly not agreeing with me'#and theyre talking about the most obscure insane discourse youve literally never heard of before thatll be flooding your dash for the next#month#had to unfollow a really good artist because they just kep reblogging the most aggressive 'every [evil side] sucks and hates [good side] an#doesnt care about them and wants to oppress them'#(said '[evil side]' wasnt even a moral stance it was literally just something you were born as. like. you get how thats fucked up right)#which uh. sucked! especially since i was part of that [evil side]#anyway midnight rant over tldr uhhh discourse stupid go get hobbies#and if i ever mention what discourse topic inspired this post ill probably get torn apart LMAOO#(hint: its one of the stupid pointless ones)#me.txt

i’ve always found it peculiar how during meeting the chargers cutscene the game just assumes your character automatically understands what krem is talking about when he mentions binding (though, granted, it’s all very unsubtle). like, this is a roleplaying game. what if i want to play a character who just doesn’t get it
#dragon age#cremisius aclassi#inquisitor trevelyan#at least give me an in game explanation of why the inquisitor would Know this right away#it's not like transgenderism is a widely explored topic in da lore. the most you can find about it in inquisition specifically excluding#krem and seras countless transmisogynistic lines is one codex that mentions that some previous divine mightve been a trans woman#and the way it's written sucks ass. the infamous sex in thedas codex also mentions nothing on the topic of transness. so like#whats up with that#art stuff#before anyone says anything i fully realize how i look critiquing a bioware game that came out in 2014 on its faulty queer representation#please trust me i know. im just thinking out loud#ALSO. in case it isnt obvious. parsley transed they gender. the joke is that theyre a nonbinary femme now#its hard for me to show it through art because it would involve misgendering them but they dont actually start going by they/them pronouns#until after halamshiral. so like technically if i made them refer to themselves as he/him at any point before that it would be canonical but#its not like my art is chronological by any means and cannot be taken out of context by virtue of it existing as an individual post online#if someone were to reblog an art of them saying hi im a dude theyd go cool! hashtag male inquisitor. or something#the tragic case of sacrificing narrative in order to not get second hand discomfort at seeing parsley misgendered#ANYWAY..........

You know what feature we need to bother staff for next? Other people’s posts getting flagged as counting towards “strikes” on our blogs.
#like I am so serious tumblr staff look at me#one: we can’t even see how many strikes any of our blogs have; side or main#two: this is as ridiculous as teachers not giving the class recess just because one dude misbehaved; it’s group blaming & unnecessary#three: we can’t delete flagged posts on tumblr mobile at least on older versions idk how newer versions are#you set it up so it’s nearly impossible to keep your blog from not getting shadow banned#saying as someone who was previously flagged due to posts being retroactively flagged from the content ban of around 2016#this ‘feature’ literally makes no sense; why are we at fault for reblogging anything; we aren’t OP#why should flags on another blog affect everyone else?? it’s stupid#please fix this tumblr staff#this is without tackling all the issues with marginalized folks being flagged more I’m trying to make an appeal to the people in charge :/#mine#op#tumblr#tumblr mobile#tumblr staff#tumblr glitch

#bloodborne#not exaggerating when i say that even wearing PANTS was seen as an exclusively masc thing btw#there are Multiple cases of women literally PASSING AS DUDES by wearing pants. IN THE ARMY NO LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#this one lady who wore pants to farm was seen so outlandish it warranted public backlash#women were arrested for wearing pants and button-down shirts as recently as THE SIXTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i could go more into maria's outfit as a whole but the pants ALONE make her canonically masc By Definition in the historical context :)#if ur abt to be fucking stupid on this post im Just going to block u btw#having said that if anyone DOES have normal responses or questions i really love history and i have a lot of resources#comment/reblog/inbox/dm are all fair game <333#in case anyone was curious what my inbox looked like after making that post#most of these are direct quotes :) its just silly to me#like holy [citation needed]#if u want to know more!!!!#i love her so much and im really tired of (overwhelmingly cis) people literally being so insecure in their own gender#that they just start reinventing gender roles in my inbox!!!!!#and everywhere else they can get their hands on#i think some of yall need to realize that uhhhhhhh#butch lesbians seeing maria as a butch lesbian is not fucking '''''''tokenism'''''''''''' or whatever#that is Literally Not What That Word Means#but it may be worth examining why you are so upset by it?#or barring that........have some genuine curiosity about the history of gender.......because its really cool to research imo

Fansites that definitely faceapp the guys are such strange creatures to me like... we all know what they look like so why did you do that....
#like we all know about the ones who white wash#but the ones who look at any of these dudes and go hm. i need to make them more conventionally attractive#by altering their faces are so ??#esp when its not even subtle like i just saw a lee know and they genuinely increased his eye and lip size a noticeable amount#and then i think thinned his nose out ????? hes literally a conventional beauty standard come to life whats goin on with#you....#same with a seungmin one that has always posted normal pics but now uploaded stuff#and it actually looked ai generated to me like it was almost seungmin but if you made him uncanny valley like a doll#very odd. and very odd to see people rt or reblog without apparently noticing or caring ?

not to sound like a cunt but i swear like 2 jokes about something will get passed around and then a load of dipshits will start twisting that everyone is so Utterly Vacuous... god forbid if every post you post to your tumblr blog is not an indepth reflection of your thoughts and feelings. for your tumblr blog is reflective of your Inner mind and soul and you must summon yourself to the Calling of crafting the most perfect and eloquent analysis of the video essay that dropped 2 fucking days ago .
#egg.txt#this is about the hbomberguy shit soirry lol#like i see one or two jokes abt haha he took them out )#and then suddenly its like: THE WHOLE CONVERSATION IS JUST ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU MISSED THE POINT#DUDE its like a 2-3 ppl on tumblr who made joke posts that got traction#not to mention yes: ive seen MANY ppl posting abt how sad and unfortunate this all is#but those posts arent gonna get traction bc theyre quiet fuckin reflections on a topic for now#as such yeah bro the tag is dominated by jokes that really arent that serious.#idk ugh sorry to be such a twist im just soooo sick of the vibe everyone brings of like:#i see lighthearted jokes in this tag. HOW DARE YOU ALL DO THIS. YOU ARE ALL SO FUCKING STUPID AND YOU TAKE NOTHING SERIOUS.#like yes its a serious topic but again .... TWO GOD DAMN DAYS AFTER THE VIDEO DROPPED NO LESS... the thing thats gonna ALWAYS float to the#top of a tag is quick jokes.#and besides its like if you WANT to have those conversations thats great??? like cultivate them bro??#WHY not cultivate them instead of dominating the conversation with how stupid everyone is and how above them you are?#idk man its not just abt this#its abt sooooo much with the fuckn culture some ppl foster on this website#its the exact same with sillier shit like media#where some ppl think that u reblogging jokes abt a show / sth is like THE ONLY THOUGHTS YOU HAVE ON SOMETHING#blah blah blah you have such a superficial opinion of the characters and so forth#like relax. i just prefer to have discussions abt things not on my blog#jesus wept some ppl are desperate to think everyone is stupid

y'all be like "minors DNI/DNF" and then...... constantly reblog posts written by minors lmfao
#like do yall really not check the blog to make sure youre ok to interact before reblogging?#i cant be the only one that does that... right?#you should ALWAYS check my dudes.#not just because they could be minors but also because they may have a DNI u fall under.#come on now. let's practice what we preach 🙏🏽#i shouldnt be seeing posts created by minors on ADULT KINK BLOGS. weirdos.

this will be unpopular probably but idk i've been called slurs a time or two and it's personally uncomfortable to see... obviously do as you please in general but when interacting with me or my posts i'd really prefer if yall didn't casually use fag, etc in place of gay and stuff 👍
#gently draws a boundary#it feels like its become hashtag cool to call people fag and fruit and fruity without considering that people may be uncomfortable with it..#i understand the phenomenon of reclamation but thats an opt in process. it shouldnt be opt out#ive written slurs into my fics like once or twice and its solely because i couldnt imagine it any other way lol but for me its just very not#a casual thing.#obviously this is one post#and it feels silly to pin#and even then i dont expect people to look at my blog before interacting or anything#but if you happen to come here often i would appreciate it 😔#also i realized my tags imply people have called me directly that stuff and fortunately not#but its a bit. unnerving to see people reblogging my stuff and saying that two dudes are fags or fruits or fairies or queers (this one#is highly controversial lmaooo i know okay but literally as a noun. it makes me think of my dad telling me about how he used to play smear#the queer but dw he loves me !!! 😬)#anyway seeing people say that two dudes are soooo those. is a bit unsettling for me. it's often one to one with how homophobic people say it#i understand that's not intentional on yall's parts! obviously#lol#but its never going to be something that doesnt make me uncomfortable. and i thought id just say something because tbh it feels weird not to#so i would appreciate if you would be considerate of it#again like. on my blog. talking to me or on my posts. i don't expect any claim to how yall act elsewhere

Every time I see those posts about the AO3 F/F to M/M ratios, all I can think is:
Okay, excellent point. But what if you just wrote it?
Like. Yeah, man, I'm sure it's discouraging to see raw numbers talking about how your ship doesn't get the rep it needs. But when you get down to numbers... sometimes the difference within fandoms is less than 500 more M/M works than F/F works. That's actionable. You can fill that gap with a fraction of the people liking / reblogging posts about F/F erasure.
Sometimes the gap is bigger. It's like, 1000 more works are tagged M/M. 2000, or more. Yeah, that's a big gap, but you could make it one less. If every person liking or reblogging a post about the disparity of ship fics on AO3, that number would shrink drastically, or outright disappear.
IDK. I write F/F. I write M/M too, as well as M/F. But I write F/F, and when I see that sorta post. It doesn't feel like a call to action. It feels like somehow, in some way, I'm not doing enough when I post up fanfiction for free about stuff I like.
It makes me feel like I should stop sharing my F/F work, that it doesn't matter, that people don't recognize the effort or love or time that goes into it. Even beyond that, I feel discouraged about the work I have put out, because thousands of words written all about an F/F pairing are only seen in that raw stat format.
"There's X M/M fics and Y F/F fics." Yes, I know, and that has to suck. But look at how many people wrote F/F fics! Have you commented on each of those F/F fics? Have you given kudos? Did you feel inspired to write or draw because of those F/F fics? That's what fandom is for. That's why we create. If that's not inspiring you to "close the gap" on those stats, I don't know what to say.
#personal talk#ao3 writer#ao3 stats#IDK. Man. Sometimes it feels like those posts are made in bad faith. Especially when there's no CTA. No encouragement to actually read the#—fics that exist. Massive reblog chains talking about X fandom or Y fandom not having enough F/F fics that don't background the characters.#Dude! That could be you! You could be on the front lines of this issue. You clearly care about it. A lot. You clearly are passionate about—#your ship getting the representation it needs. That is so fair and commendable. Why haven't you linked your favorite F/F ships? Why haven't#you recommended your favorite F/F writer? Why haven't you organized some F/F themed AO3 event all about writing ladies with ladies?#It can be so goddamn discouraging to write F/F at times. Not even because there's ' ' less engagement ' ' because that's not why I write it#I write F/F ships because I like them! They are fun to me! I like those characters and want to smoosh them together like dolls! But seeing—#post after post after post after post. Ragging on these stats. Taking screenshots of fandoms and their M/M to F/F ratios. How many of those#F/F fics did you even fucken read. How many of them did you even bother to slap kudos on. How many of those fics did you share with your—#friends on Discord or email to your buddies or talk about on your Tumblr? Like. People aren't writing F/F for you to consume. They're#—writing F/F to share what they like with the world. So maybe do the bare minimum and share that passion? IDK. It's really fucken hard.#Both to see this kinda thing and to articulate it. The problem feels like the solution is just so obvious. I saw a post with 18000 likes.#If every single one of those people wrote a 300w ficlet. Suddenly there would be 18000 F/F fics. How is this not mathing. Come on.

tumblr really is the web site of why tf did you add that to this post.
#like it really is.#annoying add ons to positivity posts#people adding thoughts that should be in tags to the main body#people needlessly repeating the punchline of the previous add on#i can forgive gimmicks and 'okay tumblr user X'#but like '🤣🤣🤣🤣' or 'omg this is so funny'#its like dude thats what the TAGS are for.#theres also like. every other form of this that i cant be asked to list.#if you ever see a post i reblogged (omg i just remembered 'everyone must reblog this post' shut it!) and the annoying bits are still there#im sorry and i failed you#vee rambles#sheesh!

#having a tough time deciding whether to reblog that post rebutting the ridiculous claims that Taika Waititi is egregiously anti-palestinian#on the one hand it's decent information#on the other hand this whole rumor is such vitriolic anti-semitism it feels like it's not even worth addressing#like dude i have issues with things that taika has done#but making special tests on Jews and people with Jewish heritage requiring them to disclaim Israel in a myriad of ways#and even if they do that then you just come up with a new test for them#like 'no you must not only hate Israel but also Israelis'#(BTW the first part of that requirement is also dumb)#anyway making special tests like that is anti-Semitic by definition#I'm sorry if you can't see that but if you can't#please go to the library and check out some books on anti-Semitism racism ethnocentrism and how they cloud people's thinking#thanks#tldr it's a helpful post but I also don't necessarily want to put any of that content on my dash#he should not have to defend himself and no one should have to defend him on this issue

aight im just gonna say it. some folks really gotta stop treating nishikiryu like they’re actually related and considering anyone who’s so much as Okay with them as a pairing of being incest apologists. like. that’s a legitimately fucked up and serious thing to accuse someone of just because of your view of two factually unrelated fictional characters.
#like. i really don’t like yumi being a love interest for kiryu and think she’d be best as a sister figure to him#a dynamic which could’ve formed while growing up alongside him at sunflower. that absolutely does not mean I would start blocking#and shittalking people for being ‘incest shippers’ as if I have the mora high ground and self righteousness to do so#it is really not different. only difference is the use of the word kyodai. which is an honorary title and not inherently synonymous with#viewing someone as your Actual Literal Sibling.#like just. chill the fuck out.#throwing that kinda accusation around is honestly no better than someone throwing around terms like ‘abuser’ or ‘gaslighting’#over subjective and unserious situations#no one is asking you to change your view of them. no one’s asking you to like them as a pairing. just say you don’t see it that way and move#on. not everything is a moral issue where someone needs to be condemned for something.#tldr: don’t be an asshole#this reminds me of the post that’s like. hey sometimes it’s okay to just say you don’t like someone/something without trying to prove#that disliking it is the Morally Correct thing to do.#like for real dude.#anyway might delete this later or simplify it becuase I have honestly been scared to say anything about this for a long time#due to seemingly the majority of people considering this a highly controversial hot button issue#also sure blocking people is an option but. if you like someone/most of someone’s content and just don’t like a certain pairing or topic or#whatever that they’ll reblog on occasion you can also just. block the tag. unless they don’t tag their shit then it’s more understandable#but i most certainly do and I appreciate when other people do the same because I have one major pairing tag in this fandom blocked because#of how much i don’t like it and plenty of people I follow post this pairing occasionally and shockingly it does not bother me. because#of the ability to filter via tags. it’s really not hard#anyway yeah sorry. let’s see how fast I delete this cause boy am I scared of getting eaten alive for this Apparently Hot Take#rambling#edit: also just wanna note that this isn’t even my main/favorite pairing or anything. im not a diehard nishikiryu guy#im a diehard kazumaji guy though for sure. but I have a strong opinion on the topic because. like I said. the gravity of people’s#accusations is beyond Not Okay

i'm gonna finish the mike edit today. watch me
#again: it IS already finished#but i must tinker with the audio levels 57 times or i will implode#all this and then i post it and it gets 12 likes and 1 reblog lol#don't you love tumblr#like i don't care because i'm one of those selfish bitches whose priority is my own happiness#and satisfaction with my creative endeavours#i do things because *I* want to do them#my brain is broken so the concept of supply and demand doesn't work on me#i just create because i feel like it#but it's still annoying spending hours on something and being really proud of it and then Nobody Sees It#like. dude#come on#st posting

drove my mom to the ER.
#that’s it that’s the text post#no pity or condolences pls#just… felt like I needed to post this. to say something instead of just reblogging shit#not sure it’s necessary…. it’s not… but I dunno maybe I just think my life is so important I need to post vaguely about it#also canceled my therapy appointment for tomorrow because fuck it let the psychic trauma fester#didn’t go last weak but I had a decent reason. I suppose ‘being with sick mother’ is also a decent reason#I just kinda dread seeing my therapist now#funny how he went from cool dude to another person I’m afraid to disappoint in one session#anyway I’ve been in this hospital for about 5 hrs now and it sounds like it’ll be an overnight thing#very sad stuff#but also I hate ‘I’m so sorry’ messages#I know they mean well and I know I’m basically inviting them but let’s like… not do that dance okay?#let’s just keep it loose#band on the sinking titanic vibes#anyway… this is my little injection of my personal life before going off to reblog softcore shit hours later#I didn’t mean to write all of this but it seems I can’t be vague to save my life#you can ignore this#text

I think it’s rlly interesting when u can tell someone was bullied as a child and instead of working thru that trauma they take that anger and point it at anyone who dares reminds them of it
#take that one guy who was mad at lizzo and jack black for being in star wars#claiming that it was no longer for the nerds and instead for the people who would shove nerds into lockers#despite jack black and lizzo being open nerds#also see people who are very upset at my original#toondiscourse#post yep sorry circiling back to this because people are having very funny meltdowns in my reblogs again#they feel judged. talked down to some of them are even pulling their own statements out of their ass to hurt their own feelings or admitting#to only reading parts of the post before calling down#I just think it’s interesting and a little sad#and like the original post I’m speaking from expirence we all know the dude who takes the opportunity to channel the inner mean girl they#never got to be growing up. I#think it’s a fantasy of a uhhh idk reclaiming tht expirience#words hard#that doesn’t make sense but it makes sense to me#in other words girl stand up and stop letting ur internalized shame control you

I do hate it when really random ghosts of discourse pass just haunt me at random
#im just remembering the amount of times i'd see people doing really gung ho QUEER IS A SLUR stuff and then like#those people would be (as they had the right to) reclaiming dyke or fag and often have them in their handle and then being like Q SLUR#and just... my dudes do you just... not grasp the irony here#if having uncensored slurs is bad why are you running around with a slur in your handle no one can censor?#also god im also remembering a point where someone started putting out like LESBIAN NOT QUEER GAY NOT QUEER merch etc#and when someone went like 'bestie lesbian not queer is legit a terf slogan' they got weird about it#like this is stemming from that post i reblogged earlier about online activism#bc like yeah you're more concerned about -looking- like a good person than actually taking the time to pull something apart#and be like 'oh no i might've accidentally internalised some harmful views better deal with that'
