Privilege Doesn’t Erase Your Hardships—And It Doesn’t Define Your Future

Unpopular opinion: Privilege isn’t always what you think it is—and growing up struggling can shape your mindset in ways you might not realize.

We all start from different places in life, but that doesn’t mean we’re bound by them. Privilege, hardship, and personal growth aren’t mutually exclusive—yet in today’s world, it’s easy to dismiss someone’s success as the result of privilege while overlooking the struggles that shaped them. In this article, I dive into the complexities of privilege, why acknowledging it doesn’t erase your…

Alright. I'm probably gonna lose moots and followers for this. But I've kept quiet about it since I became host and I don't feel right not saying it for multiple reasons.

I, and this system and blog, support systems of all origins, including non traumagenic. We consider ourselves mixed origin, for multiple reasons. I know some (a lot) of you don't agree with or are uncomfortable with this stance, so if you need to unfollow for your own comfort, that's fine. But do not announce your departure unless you want us to unfollow as well.

I feel like by hiding this, I've been lying to all of you and hindering our own ability to talk about our experiences. Overall, I cannot in good conscious keep it quiet.

This is not an invitation for debate. I hate syscourse and always will, especially with our previous hosts involvement.

If this is where we part ways, then farewell and I wish you the best. And I'm sorry I couldn't be honest sooner.

Plurals of all origins, you are safe with The Brightside Brigade

What if I told u guys that throughout the main storyline Kyra genuinely believed that no one genuinely loved her .

Like, she was so used to the love she received from others being conditional that her being loved and accepted despite showing all her flaws was never even possibility to her .

So she goes around with the expectation of not making any real “bonds” , keeping everyone at arm’s length because she knows she has to go home one day ..

So its just one day, or maybe slowly she realizes. Wait, these people actually do like me and love me. Maybe I can love myself too then?

And before she knew it the people that she was so sure must’ve hated her, had managed to worm their way into her heart too. They all left an impact on her, just like she unknowingly did to them.

And the thought that maybe if all of these people could still accept her even after all of it, maybe she doesn’t have to pretend anymore after all

Thank u thats all *bows*

One day

One day I hope people realize that Kitsunami already "broke through his programming" back by issue #56 of Idw Sonic

He had an entire mini arc where he dealt with being without Surge for the first time, and in the real world. He met Sonic and his friends directly, tried to work out what his purpose would be without Surge in his life (gave it a shot trying to devote himself to Sonic, seeing him as the next best thing after Surge). And when it was all said and done, he decided after experiencing more that at Surge's side is where he wanted to be.

As of the recent IDW issues, Kit isn't sticking with Surge "because of programming" and "because he just needs for other characters to friend him and turn him into a better person". He is at her side because he wants to be. He protects her and aids her because he cares about her, not just because he's serving the strongest guy in the room. And he's not interacting with others because he's decided not to give a shit about anyone else other than Surge (because from his pov, even the "good guys" are fake. From his pov, everyone is someone trying to lie and manipulate their way into pulling him and Surge to their side)

Kit already has decided what he wants to do with his life. And he decided it on his own. Not because of anyone else's wants or wishes. That's the whole point of his speech at the end of #56.

He's burying whatever his and Surge's past is and moving forward with his conviction to be with Surge because it's what he wants.

Evil Phenomenon for Kanjira...

...She's deathly afraid of snakes and she's knowledgeable on business. Maybe...

(Ms. NewBabel and Eternity would love her 😭)

(Matilda and Mercuria takes care of Punji 🥺)

LMAO

Imagine she lets her hair down free and starts to slowly become more business-like and slightly honest money kind of girl. She would sit there and start administrating money and plans for the future.

Poor Punji tho, it has always been on Kanjira so to see its owner running away from it... Poor little snake.

Kanjira would scold Matilda like she's some kind of boss to her, which is completely the opposite because Kanjira could never bring herself to talk roughly to Matilda.

Insert scene of Ms. Newbabel fighting against Eternity Smash Bros style to see which one gets to Kanjira first (spoiler alert: neither)

Poor Punji is always on Mercuria's neck from now on since Matilda is pretty ticklish to have it on her body (personal headcanon).

Imagine she ends up making a deal with Vertin over the suitcase incomes and plans everything alongside her so they have always an incoming source of reliable money, then when she goes back to normal Vertin is standing there with their unfinished plans for the distribution of money in the suitcase like 😞🪙💰

Punji is the saddest in here but comically enough, Matilda and Kanjira have this sort of haters and lovers quarrels every time they're together and Mercuria is always there holding Punji in case it goes too far.

complaining about radical feminism bc even though it has a lot of good points, a lot are also very bad part idk what!!!

what the fuck is up with radfems literally seething when they learn that a member of their ideology has a GASPPPPP boyfriend!!! even worse A HUSBAND???? and oh my god can you imagine!!! A CHILD!!!! like what the fuck?? and yes i knowwww its bc blah blah blah inspirations taken from the 4B thing that came out of china and south korea, where the fundamental principles of their feminism is not having any sort of relations with a man nor having any children with one because marriage is a patriarchal institution (when it's a hetero marriage), and giving birth will systematically subjugate a women as mothers ar every handicapped societally and aren't treated fairly.

see im not denying that straight marriage has some dicey elements and that moms get a LOTTTT of shit from society. but why is it that women are shamed for their heterosexuality when it's not something they can control?? like i'm sorry but if a lady wants to marry a dude and have children with him it's literally her choice and if she doesnt thats fine too?? like they start calling her "male-centered" and justify the criticism she's facing which is nuts bc what the fuck do you mean she's male-centered do you hear the words that come out of your mouth?? what the fuck do you mean straight women need to be critical of their attraction to men!!! my brother why are you creating comphet 2.0 but for straight women!!!! this idea that women will be defiled with patriarchy germs if they come into any sort of romantic/sexual contact with a man genuinely feels like the flipside of purity culture but for "feminist" reasons and also it's like the cousin of political lesbianism which is the antithesis of "sexual orientation is uncontrollable".

"participating in male culture" and it's having a boyfriend BE FOR REAL!!! this is such a western concept to me as well bc in many eastern cultures young women have like little to no say when they're faced with the prospect of arranged marriage, and so the fact that you degenerates are complaining about VOLUNTARY marriage in modern societies whereas young girls in other countries don't have that kind of choice is!!! insane!!!! i have so much more to say about this but that's enough for today ig :333

[rubbership]

ive become such an atheist recently which is so bizarre. but also i guess it is kind of my baseline beliefs. i kind of have to work myself up to believe in anything else.

[welcometoteyvat]

i already malded but sethoscara... hmm... (moderate haterisms below)

generally i find cyno and sethos more interesting, and not just as a ship i swear, bc like. ok i understand sethos story 2. "busy little bee" vs "bow down worm". the whole "you're not just a normal guy, aren't you?" exchange and how wanderer seems to have met the one (not so) normal human who might be able to level with him without knowing anything about his past. yeah thats a cool dynamic and all

but based on flat material, sethos is introduced in cyno's sq2, has two stories mentioning him—they seem to have gotten closer post story quest, gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

why do i not see more sethos and cyno posts focusing on them and them alone pls.... the most popular or frequent depictions as of now are sethos as a 5th (?) wheel to cynonari and haikaveh. i understand ppl not wanting to take apart their ships and whatever, but oh my god. their visual designs, the entire thing that happened when sethos and cyno were children, how they grew up, how that ties into the separation between the rainforest and desert, etc. also sethos's story 5 is lit like '[Sethos] couldn't tell you exactly what he'd forgotten. Perhaps his birth parents, or the faces of his childhood friends. Fortunately, with the exception of Cyno, all of his childhood friends lived at the Temple of Silence, so learning what they looked like again wasn't difficult.' helloooooooooo baggage? sethos picking up hearsay abt cyno's past and maybe glimpsing him in passing in sumeru, while cyno knows nothing about him??? they both knew each other once, and then forgot, and then sethos/bamoun engineered it so they'd meet again.... like bro

i have a bunch of other gripes about sethoscara from scara's POV and the thoughts he'd have in canon (eg why does the current fandom portrayal seem to skew towards fluff and cuddling where sethos is golden retriever maxxing and scara's a tsundere) but yadda yadda ships are people's sandbox for potential so i'll try not to yap about that... basically: what im saying is please give me at least one [fan creation in any medium] exploring sethos cyno's past please. LISTENNN the bamoun cyrus sethos cyno storyline was underutilized in his quest they need expansion i'm begging

ok why did i bring sethoscara into this? bc fandom has the tendency to have ship tunnel vision, and this could be doomposting, but i generally find that when there's one dominant ship for a character (especially if they're a 4* lol 💀) creations/thoughts/posts about the rest of their relationships start dying out one by one :\\\\ ok yapping done good night everyone

Me: man it’s hard to make designs for madam Jin and not have her look like she’s part of the Jin’s yet but keep her in a gold/orange colour pallets

Me:….wait I can put her in any colours I want—

PAPA BEAR PRICE

Played around with CSP Tonight while watching my fren draw on the program, decided to draw Papa Price which oddly he was really fun to draw??

[navysealt4t]

trying to remind myself high school doesn’t determine my entire future. trying not to cry and explode everywhere. kinda failing

[thebluebygracieabrams]

on one hand completely ignoring your emotions is soo good for my mental stability and productivity but man i miss staring at the ceiling and listening to sad songs on loop

i think yasu's character arc about defining himself beyond naraku is rendered more potent when the context of his presence in the story is revealed.

he was reincarnated after a fake jewel was created by akujin, who sought its wish granting capabilities and wanted to harness it. but as a result, he forced a new cycle, and naraku's soul was brought back into a new body, which is now yasu.

but seeing as kagome has been forcibly removed from the past, he just waits until inuyasha's desire to see her again brings her back into the past.
