#and was reminded of my pet peeve

[bhaalrespawn]

i think a lot of the takes people have about astarion "secretly not actually being okay with being in a poly relationship with halsin" forget that he will literally turn down being in a poly relationship with literally any other character. he doesn't just "feel like he needs to go along with it". his responses to both asking about karlach and shadowheart both allude to the fact he is open to being in poly relationships, it's depending on the context:

i think the bit about "if shadowheart had more experience in these affairs" is the most telling, because that is what he highlights with why he's okay with halsin:

astarion is fully willing and able to turn tav down and set boundaries if he's truly uncomfortable with an arrangement.

the devnotes also do directly state that he's genuine when he tells you to go on with halsin so there's that.

(and before anyone brings it up: him asking if it's because you haven't had sex in a while is an instance of healthy communication. he's openly addressing a concern he has, and that's a good thing!)

rewatching 911 and its absolutely insane that chimney and christopher interact one on one before eddie and chimney interact one on one

if you make rgu aus for your other fandoms and put male characters in the roles of utena and anthy i am coming into your house and forcing you to write a ten page essay on the themes of misogyny in the show

i really dislike when people ask me about things using slavic as a general term. slavic cultures and history is such a vast subject that im very much not knowledgable about, and acting like i do because i draw folk costumes from two slavic countries (not including belarus and czech republic because i havent done that in a while and i dont know them that well; im talking poland and ukraine) is a bit weird to me. please keep in mind that any in more depth knowledge i have will always be poland related and whenever you ask me about something slavic i will just answer it as polish

but if I say 'kaiser would rather continue the cycle of abuse than get therapy' I'd be jumped so I won't say that someone else said that not me tho

I've struggled so much with english these past few days and it's so annoying and embarrassing, and what's even more embarrassing is that I'm embarrassed at all in the first place!!! Everytime I make a rushed error with my unmedicated brain, or swap around with word order, or struggle to pronounce things or outright just fail to recall even basic words entirely I get so ashamed and stressed out.

And I hate being told things such as "you're better than some native speakers" because I know that isn't true! And I wish it could just be fine that I'm not! Sure, I've improved immensely ever since I actually tried to learn it properly 10 years ago, but it was such a bumpy and embarrassing road that it's practically a mercy for my self confidence that I was psychotic for a majority of the time, what with all the things I've forgotten or outright never memorized in the first place as a result lmao.

Everytime I have to edit captions and such after hitting 'Post' I always feel this overwhelming sense of dread that people will just pour in to nag and to correct me even over the smallest things, all without anything good to say. Which sucks, cause so many times where I've had people be condescending or outright degrading, the errors in question didn't even impede on the clarity of what I was saying. Just stupid, unimportant things like using 'has'/'have' wrong, using 'were' two times in a sentence, putting words in the wrong order in a sentence etc.

It's been years now since that was a thing that happened regularly, but that fear is apparently still so deeply imprinted that, even now, I can't read what I'm writing right here and now without this looming fear about how it will serve to make native speakers perceive me as stupid and unintelligent or outright infantilize me. Even though I know that's more than likely irrational of me to feel now. I seriously need to figure out how to overcome this mental roadblock, or at least not let it get to me like this. It's rarer these days, but I still feel it too strongly for my liking whenever my reservations do kick in.

i love muting people on twitter some of you bitches are very dumb

[queerofthedagger]

you ever feel yourself getting in the realm of potentially actually annoyed at a stupid take on some fandom content, and just gently grab yourself by the neck going 'right, time to go outside for a bit' or?

It is very mildly irritating to me when people use this picture for Diavolo. You guys... this isn't Diavolo. This is Bruno in Diavolo's body. You can tell because the eyes are different.

Clearing my drafts bc over the past year I felt a twinge of the chance to offer folks an out or a grace period, so to speak, to get themselves together, but after due consideration I shouldn’t have to hunt, scroll, check and follow up to see if someone un-racists themselves tbh. I may go back and see if they redeemed themselves when addressed and if I see they did, I’ll qrb my own post and say as such, but I’m not a detective. As such, I’ll also not go back to see how active someone is or isn’t anymore.

If I see the thing happened at any point, I’m posting it which will explain the flurry of posts suddenly this morning that were released from my drafts and a potential barrage of posts I may make later. That includes things from over years that I’ll transfer from my notepad, bc originally I started keeping the screencaps and names there & once I started posting here, I paused posting old ones in favor of the most recent transgressions as they happened. Maybe the writers acct is still up, maybe it isn’t; dc. I’m keeping the names on my notepad with a note but all pic evidence will go here with their @ as well bc i don’t see why I should have it taking space on my phone 🤷🏾‍♀️ Maybe the screen-cap is 3 years old, maybe they don’t even have tumblr anymore, iDC. Maybe I’ll use queue, maybe I won’t.

☼༄I always keep track of changed usernames or extra accts of that person that may pop up in my reading while perusing the tags & they note it in their bio or w/e in my phone too so there’s a paper trail (so to speak) so obviously I’ll be adding that lol

You rebloged a post and I really don’t want to hate but I just don’t understand this dynamic. Shuggy aren’t considered brothers but they have the same adopted father? I just don’t understand it. I kinda want to like this ship but? I guess they’re similar to she ra main couple?

(the post i reblogged; this one also seems relevant)

first off: anon, i am not the arbiter of what you can ship. i am not some fandom judge who slams down a gavel and says, "THE VIBES ARE SUS, SHIPPING IS NOT PERMITTED." all i can tell you is my opinion, which you are free to disagree with.

and in my opinion, if i had written that post i wouldn't have called roger their father figure. (which is what it says, btw: adoptive father figure. the post isn't even—ugh, never mind.) but i am not obligated to tag my reblogs with 'ok i know what op said but i would call this relationship xyz' disclaimers, i actually think that kind of thing is pretty rude! the op can see your tags, you know! i don't think buggy and shanks consider each other brothers, or roger their father; i think they would use words like "crew" and "captain."

in my opinion, the only crew where "captain" means "father" and "crewmate" means "brother" is whitebeard's. because that's explicitly what whitebeard wanted as a pirate: a family.

in my opinion, people in fandom are very quick to slap a "found family" label on groups that really don't warrant it, partly because that's the easiest way for them to understand a concept like "people who aren't related but are very close" and partly so they can immediately shove every character into a nuclear family role and call any ship that isn't 'mom' x 'dad' incest-coded.

and i find this especially tiresome in one piece fandom because there is found family in one piece! there are people who declare themselves kin though they aren't blood related! there's whitebeard and his crew, obviously.

and there's ace, sabo, and luffy.

luffy's crew isn't his family! his crew is nakama, friends, comrades—it's not a lesser bond for not being familial, just different.

and until the day canon says otherwise, i will believe roger's crew was the same way.

Worst thing a writer of a book can make me deal with is talk to me like I'm an idiot who can't understand books while I'm actively reading the book they wrote

You ever get mad at your own reminders from your reminder app? Like “did you water the plants yet?” Bitch that’s none of your fuckin business

Even though I’m the one who made the reminder

Reminder because I'm really tired of seeing people attempt to solve FNAF game lore with the books.

The books are supposed to be considered their own separate continuity than the game series, AKA a re-imagining of the FNAF story. SCOTT HIMSELF has said that.

Please, PLEASE keep that in mind. I know the lore makes no sense, and most of it is fan's headcanons anyway, but not enough people know about this, and it's starting to get annoying.
