I don't know if I'm going to publish the actual rant I have in my drafts, but some of y'all need to realize that making "former 'gifted' kid burnout" your whole personality is unhealthy, and that maybe you should take the "I'm not actually special" thing to heart more. Most people are bad at studying. Most people don't handle being bad at things well. Most people have shit self-discipline. Like, the whole problem was people telling you you're special and fucking with your perceptions. Why are you continuing that by acting like struggle is some exceptional thing only a small group of people experience?

Yeah, you had a weird/bad experience as a kid. Good news! You can choose to do something about it now.

#i'm not even going to get into the fact that most gifted kids aren't actually gifted #anywho #there's a place for venting #but at some point you have to realize that you're an adult #and you have control over your life #'i never learned how to study'#most people never learned how to study #at least not effectively #good thing you're an adult with access to the internet.#time to learn lol #gifted kid #former gifted kid #gifted kid discourse #gifted kid burnout

this might be a hot take but i actually don’t think humans were meant to know what is going on in everyone’s lives all over the world every second of the day and constantly be available for conversations or collaborations or call-ins for work and texts and phone calls and social media posts without end. i think we were supposed to just help the people around us and spend time with our family and friends and eat yummy bread and berries and relax

#‘did you know x celebrity did this thing and now they’re getting cancelled?’ no. why does that concern me #idgaf about celebrities #and like. mental exhaustion and guilt are not good or sustainable substitutions for real help and activism #sometimes it’s ok to just. unplug and worry about your own life #im not saying you should stop caring but you also shouldn’t guilt yourself to death over something you have zero control over #text post #top posts #5k #20k #30k #40k #50k #60k #70k

i love how during nanami’s drive she’s like “touga you gotta listen to me this guy is fucked up i just saw him performing some of the most horrifically unspeakable acts of violence” and akio is like [chuckling smugly] “hmmm….. what you saw….. yes, of course, a child’s mind is clouded by their limited perception….. and yet…. what you think you saw is merely an illusion…… due to solipsism.” and nanami doesn’t even pause to consider it, immediately she’s just like “what the fuck is this evil freak talking about.”

#u #nanami #akio #touga #he can’t trip her up with his fancy words she knows what she saw!!!!#that scene makes my gut churn so bad #like even worse than all the other car scenes #bc nanami is ACTIVELY trying to escape #and they KNOW it and they’re lording it over her????#the fact that they have all the power to control where she goes and how she lives her life #and when she rejects touga with everything she has #he still lets akio. um. ‘show her the end of the world.’#touga redemption arc but every time he remembers that evening he cringes so forcefully that he literally dies and now he’s dead because he #took too much psychic damage remembering his own actions.#like he’s also just really embarrassing himself here #trying to act like he’s in on some cosmic joke that nanami doesn’t have access to #NO!!!!!! YOU LOOK LIKE A FOOL AND YOU ASSAULTED YOUR BABY SISTER. DIE.#anyway. i love you nanami i love you nanami i love you nanami i love you nanami

hello trafficblr, I just got a really nasty anon ask so I'm gonna talk about it

there has been a lot of debate over what celestial body Scar is, and I'm here to say to all those who are getting dragged down because their opinion isn't popular in the fandom:

it's okay. you don't have to follow fandom.

I personally really like mercury Scar. This is (according to the polls I've seen) the least popular of the "main" bodies I've seen people suggest. Most of my favorite artists are drawing Scar as Earth.

that's okay!

do you like Pluto Scar better? go for it! draw scar with pluto as his symbol! write essays for it! ramble about how it fits! do you like mercury scar better? do the same! do you disagree with the idea that we should continue with the "sun, moon, stars" theory and should come up with something new? do it!! come up with a new symbol!!

I feel like as a fandom, if you don't comply with what is the most popular opinion, you're wrong. you're not!!! this is a minecraft series!!!! everything is up for interpretation!!!

look at me. you do not have to follow fandom if you have other ideas. do not let fandom control your creativity.

If you're in a bad place mentally and you're on Twitter, delete it. Delete the app. I mean it, things will be so much better without it. 2 years ago, I was in a horrid spot mentally, and I deleted Twitter, and things got exponentially better. Nothing else changed other than that I didn't have a constant barage of things that made me anxious and angry being thrown in my face 24/7

Delete the app I promise you're not missing anything important

#its an app bestie dont let it rule your life #elon doesn't deserve to have that much control over you

Every time I start thinking about how we don't know who louis truly is because he doesn't even know who he truly is, I go a little more insane.

#staring at my own artwork (the shattered mirror one) just thinking #iwtv is the longest most drawn out commentary on the long term effects of parentification if you think about it #i was gonna write a meta about how armand and louis are a match made in hell in terms of what they need á la control in a relationship #but i realized i atleast know what armand wants even if it is contradictory- but i have no idea what louis wants #the only thint i know for certain is that louis wants kids. he wants a family. and armand def aint giving him that #leaving him to suffer thru postpartum depression on his own... youre a scoundrel armand.#i still hold fast that louis loved that lestat protected him. that lestat had such violent retribution for those who wronged him #armand... doesnt seem to have that. maybe its him thinking louis needs control over his own life... but its probably not that #louis and armand relationship confounds me #iwtv #insane ramblings #interview with the vampire #ldpdl #loumand relationship complexities are just something im gonna have to take the autistic L on cause i dont get them #louis de pointe du lac

you know, for someone who supposedly reveres and cherishes mortal life so much, fable sure doesn't treat the mortals he claims to love most with much agency or respect

#torturing your wife to get back at your sister and attempting to kill your son as they're begging you to stop #two markers of a man who should definitely have total control over life and death /s #i have a bigger post about this in the works but yeah this about sums up my feelings #fable smp

KILL!!!!!!!!!

#my post #this is so mean. why did i make this #but also....... the gun is in your hands now #i'll admit that it's my fault for putting the gun in your hand... however i've no say in what you choose to do with it #will you pull the trigger and accept whatever happens from now on? will you give yourself into the role forced upon you?#no one will know anything if you don't say anything. there will be no consequences or repercussions to this choice #but you will know. and you will need to live with that knowledge for the rest of your life #a gun not fired is like an itch not stratched #in the end i have no control over what you do... but free will is a funny thing #the brain is very susceptible to suggestion... everything we see and experience will remain with us in some way #if that's the case then how much control do we really have in our lives? how do we separate what we really want vs what we're told to want?#things like hunger... desire... they're all things the body asks for. but are they things that we truly want?#or are they merely a mechanism built into us for the sake of survival?#everything blends into everything. your past actions will inform your current actions. you're the only one who's ever lived your life #you're the only one who will ever live your life #little variables and experiences we all share... but the order varies greatly from person to person. everything is just a series of events #the way i see the world is different than the way you see it regardless of how similar they are #what choice will you make now? and how does it differ from the choice you would've made a week ago? a month? a year? does it differ at all?#does free will truly exist? i think it does... but not in the way most people think it exists #you and i... we might differ on that thought. or we might not.#regardless of whatever i've been rambling about right now... refusing to make a choice is still a choice you make. life is ironic like that #does one of them really have to go? that's for you to decide now #i've merely chosen to put the gun in your hand. to make you aware of the possibilities #so i hope you realize what power your choices have #dca fandom #daycare attendant #yeah sometimes i just say things that i think are deep but they're really not #i hope the choices i make have an effect on others. even if it's just one person...#if i can make even just one person think about something they wouldn't have normally thought about then isn't that a win?#life is a series of choices... ''it'd be great if you could see a figure of light by the time you die'' ♡

every comment or post that I see yelling about sympathy, empathy, and reminding us that those people are humans with lives and families only makes me wish they're dead even harder. matter of fact, I hope they all suffer as much as possible and then go to hell and suffer even more. there

#titanic #oceangate #rambling #PATRICIA THESE PEOPLE PAID A QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS TO RIDE A BOLTED PRINGLES CAN STEERED BY A LOGITECH CONTROLLER #TO SEE THE REMAINS OF A SHIP THAT KILLED MOSTLY POOR PEOPLE BC THE RICH WERE PRIORITISED IN THE EVACUATION #FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN TO HAVE BRAGGING RIGHTS AND BC THEY WERE BORED #WHILE IGNORING SAFETY REGULATIONS LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER #I HAVE NO SHRED OF SYMPATHY. NONE. THEYRE GETTING THEIR KARMA #I'LL HAVE TO PAWN OFF A PAIR OF EARRINGS TO SURVIVE UNTIL MY NEXT PAYCHECK. DO YOU THINK I GIVE A SHIT?#I COULDVE PAID OFF BOTH OF MY LOANS. GOTTEN CLOTHES AND SHOES I NEED. GONE ON VACATION FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. GOTTEN A TATTOO #AND STILL WOULDVE HAD MONEY LEFT OVER TO LIVE OFF OF WITH JUST ONE TICKET'S WORTH. ONE #so get off your moral high horse. you will never get where they are no matter how hard you're trying to convince yourself that #if only you work hard enough. long enough. youll be rich too #you wont.#and they wouldnt piss on fire to put you out if you were in their situation

i wish people would stop calling your 20s the best years of your life

#that is not how it's gone for me....even for a year #it's weird to tell people like life will never be as good as it is now rarely #and so many women are filled with dread already in their 20s because of men saying our life is over and we've hit the wall #there's so much awful shit going on like how...#i also hate when people say that about AGRS like yes don't let predatory men take your youth but we dont have to say it will be the best #but they are important years where you grow and learn a lot and men will want to control mold and manipulate you #you get to develop yourself #with more autonomy now that you're not a teenager but im just saddened when i hear it. for lesbians it's even worse like look at the world #and when you're disabled or don't have basic needs...dont have privileges like what do you do...#idk it's for more people privileged or lucky people

my favorite spamton headcanon is that he definitely smells and looks like shit (living in the garbage and everything) but he still does his hair every morning and panics when a strand is out of place so he appears “presentable”

#spamton #deltarune #it’s like when your whole life is falling apart so you find something little to have control over #and you control over it obsessively to have some form of sanity #that’s spamton and his hair #is their any evidence of this in canon? nope! but i believe it anyway #there*

Me after writing one coherent presentable character bio without treating it like a dissertation of some sort

#real talk though #it’s probably just brain fog idk #but I find that it’s very hard to put my thoughts into a presentable piece of writing #and it’s very discouraging when you feel like your brain is simultaneously working at 6% and 110% all the time #maybe that’s not what people get from me #but that’s how it feels in my head #I just want to be able to organize everyone’s bios and info and the settings so people have something to refer to #and be able to easily answer asks about characters #maybe i just care too much about what people think of my writing #ehhhhaugGGHHHHHHH #with the other shit in my life can I at least have control over this please?#not art

when youre in a doomed family competition and the fey clan shows up

#mia fey #maya fey #pearl fey #iris hawthorne #dahlia hawthorne #misty fey #morgan fey #just amazes me how much tragedy falls upon them all that maya and pearls have to grieve so much #pearls had two sisters... TWO OF THEM! and if their circumstances were any different maybe they wouldve been able to bond together...#iris being so struck w guilt and dahlia who went down the deep end because she felt like she lost all control over her own life..#the fey clan is so interesting and so tragic #mia i love you so much you just wanted to clear your mom's name and make sure your family was safe at the same time...#the girls were so fighting... i wonder what misty and morgan's relationship was like too without all the envy.. or was that all morgan ever #felt for her younger sister??? It's like DAMN!

HER ENTIRE ARC IS ABOUT HATING LINK. THATS THE ONLY DEVELOPMENT AND REALIZATION SHE MAKES IM GOING TO TURN INTO AN OYSTER AND BECOME AN INVASIVE SPECIES ON A DIFFERENT CONTINENT

#the hating link arc is neat. thats fine and cool #BUT COULDNT YOU HAVE GIVEN HER AN ARC THAT ACTUALLY CENTERS AROUND YKNOW. HER STRUGGLE???????????????#SAYING SHES WRONG TO DENY HER FATE AND THAT SHES BOUND TO THIS LIFE SHE HAS NO CONTROL OVER.#I AM GOIJG TO BECOME A DOLPHIN EXCLUSIVELY FOR EVIL PURPOSES I. OTURJJ #it reminds me of the misogyny video. it really is that shes trapped in a narrative not of her own and shes forced to basically be tied to l #ink. i like link. but making her arc center around him making what she does for him making her be the thing she never wanted to be. your sa #batoging one character for another.

its always funny to me when people mention the protagonist of PLA "going home" after their arceus-assigned-duty is complete.

don't you get it?

Jubilife City is your home now.

#im someone who prefers permanent isekai STRONGLY over isekai-but-then-you-go-home-at-the-end #sorry!! this is just your life now!!! forever!!! deal with it!!!!!!!!!!!!#i love irreversible change and having to pick up the pieces after your life gets shattered by forces beyond your control :)#pokemon #pokemon legends arceus #anyways MY headcanon for the ending is that Rei/Akari grows up to BE the jubilife pokemon professor and when they're really old #then they meet Professor Rowan as a young child and teach HIM #and when they're really old they give him a sealed letter and a time capsule and tell him to deliver it to twinleaf town after [x] date #and Rowan only realizes what that means AFTER the kid from the next town over who beat team galactic and saved the world #just fucking disappears one day #and then he realizes ''oh my professor having the same name as them WASNT a coincidence. oh my god. oh im so sorry.''#THAT is my version of a happy ending 'u'#the protag's mom gets closure... and THATS IT!!!

peoples attention spans are not getting shorter! people are not addicted to instant gratification! capitalists and ad agencies are abusing human psychology and physiology to squeeze every last ounce of our time and attention out of us and im exhausted!!!

#spitblaze says things #id LOVE to be able to set aside like an hour or two a day to cook a very nice meal #but uh. i cant afford to not work an 8 hour day and neither can anyone else in this godforsaken country lmao #also i have adhd and ive been purposefully trying to break myself from the habit of gachas #they will take up so much of my day if i let them and im not even having fun/paying attention most of the time #shows are designed to be half-watched #websites are designed to keep your attention as long as possible #capitalism is designed to have a hold on you as long as legally able #its not about what i want. the control i have over my life is depressingly limited
