#it's all just whining and ranting

[sarayamarie]

Ik the system doesn't work it's flawed and it's not all in the spirit of learning and education and it's all just mugging up for marks and grades ik all that but I just don't want to cheat because there are people who actually worked hard and wrote it themselves who got less than what they deserved for the effort they put in and ik how childish and naive it sounds you'll tell me to grow up that's just how the world works nothings fair but when someone else just cheats and gets a lot more it just feels wrong and ik it will fuck me up in the future but I would prefer not to because it just makes me feel worse about myself and I'd rather get the little bit that I actually did by myself and got it boils down to the thing about how the world is big and bad and if I just go with it I'm part of the reason why it's like that and I'd like to think not everyone would do that?

A pretty dramatic self-righteous holier than thou thing to say ik

They fired rockets at my area just now. What is their fixation with attacking us on Jewish holidays.

Hullo to my fellow fandom creators.

How you guys doing? Good? Good.

I just wanted to drop you a little note to say I hope you’re all having fun out here. Because fun is what it’s all about, right? Fun and excitement and hobbies and interests and all that good stuff!

While I’ve been wandering about in my little corner here at tumblr dot com, I gotta tell you, it can be so easy to get discouraged sometimes. Like SO easy. And I dunno folks, I guess I just wanted to remind you (and me!) that when we create stuff for our fandoms, it’s for fun! Because we love it! Because we love making it! We love sharing it! We love the source material and the characters and the world-building and all that other neat stuff!

Sometimes we all need a little reminder, I find. Because sometimes people don’t like what we’re making. Sometimes they’ll be rude or complain and make demands about how fandom "cOnTeNt” (yuck) should be made (double yuck) and act kind of entitled about it. And idk, that gets kind of disheartening. Especially when you’re pouring all your heart and soul into what you’re making, simply for the love of it.

So! Yeah I just wanted to check in with you folks because I’m seeing a lot of that weird entitlement in various fandoms lately, and from one creator to another, I wanted to just say -if I may wax poetic for a moment here- nuts to those people. Nuts to ‘em. NUTS, I TELL YOU.

Not everyone is going to like the stuff you make, and that's okay. The important thing is to remember that their opinions have nothing to do with you or me or anyone else making art or fics or edits or whatever our little hearts desire. Just because what you're making doesn't tick someone else's personal boxes doesn't mean that what you're making is wrong or bad!

If people want specific stuff in fandom, they can make it. If they don’t like what we’re making, they can move on - that's fine. If they want to publicly whine about it and try to make it everyone else's problem, that's their baggage and we don't have to take any of that on board. It’s no reflection on you if someone wants to demand that their own specific tastes be met, rather than actually taking part in the community in a positive way. Because we’re here for fun, aren’t we.

Are you having fun? Good. That’s all that matters.

Go make something cool and fun, and have a great day!

Love you!

This is your regular reminder not to conflate top/bottom with dom/sub because the queer community does not need another goddamn gender binary, especially not from inside the fucking house

maybe reskinning cishetero gender roles with a coat of rainbow paint is not actually a good thing and inhereting the exact same stereotypes is bad and you shouldn't do it even as a joke! thanks

idk what is with this fandom... the same people who hate sukuna and are oh so sad about gojou, also buy into what sukuna said to yuuji in this chapter... i guess maybe sukuna displayed gojou's level of comeback so they latched onto it. what can yuuji possibly do? how can sukuna be even defeated if gojou failed and kashimo failed.

since the beginning yuuji's shown superhuman physical abilities. plus amazing tactical sense and superhuman speed at which he learned things, especially all things jujutsu. but his most impressive and consistent ability has been his super reinforced soul capable of caging sukuna. and that soul did its job without him knowing how to influence it. now he's been given guidance. he also practiced by ingesting more cursed objects containing souls. he also showed that he can possibly soul swap.

also since the beginning sukuna has shown incredible superiority and detachment towards everyone. except for yuuji. he was ready to mock praise and tease everyone to get more entertaining fights out of them... except for yuuji. yuuji he bullies, diminishes him, tries to break yuuji's spirit. that smells like worry, maybe fear, definitely an attempt at psychological warfare. yuuji irks him, unsettles him.

jujutsu fights are about strength and cursed energy output etc, and so on, but they are also about compatibility as mentioned by gojou and nanami and mahito. also they are about planning and strategy. about understanding jujutsu and the soul, so yourself, your strengths and weaknesses. but also being able to understand your opponent as much as possible, their motivations, their behaviour, their techniques. this is why kenjaku and sukuna bested gojou because they both kept the fight on their own terms. kenjaku by not picking a physical fight at all and making it all about intrigue and cunning, sukuna by exactly tailoring his strategy to his opponent. this is also why gojou lost because even though he knew about the compatibility he didn't think that mattered in his case because he was him, he was gojou satoru, the strongest.

yuuji can win where those two lonely losers failed because:

a) he always performs best when he's fighting alongside others and he's not going in alone. being oriented towards others is the core of his character and it has always been like that. he's bested opponents stronger than him while learning and adjusting during the fight and the presence of others only spurns that on.

b) he's clearly going in with a plan, considering who he's going in with. and he mentioned before that he had a plan how to save megumi. he's been preparing for this. unlike some who decided to wing it...

c) he has a unique understanding of sukuna. and there's also been some hints that there's more to his connection to sukuna, some heian backstory. it's also possible that gojou was right and some of sukuna's technique rubbed off on yuuji, likely sukuna's true technique whatever that is. or at least yuuji has some understanding of it that he could use against sukuna.

d) there's something about yuuji that even sukuna senses and doesn't like. and one thing we can safely say about sukuna at this point, he's got expertise when it comes to these things.

e) yuuji was made specifically by kenjaku to imprison sukuna, and kenjaku is another expert in their field.

f) sukuna has ruined yuuji's life, has made yuuji question himself constantly, has given yuuji so much trauma and guilt, has taken so many people from yuuji. including megumi who yuuji might still hope to save. yuuji is uniquely biased against sukuna and uniquely motivated. gojou and kashimo had no emotional investment in sukuna apart from "senpai notice me i want to be one of the cool kids like you" and "senpai notice me i want to ride the belly mouth" respectively. yuuji has so fucking much more emotional investment. for him it's super personal on so many fucking levels.

this is why yuuji stands a chance against sukuna. this is why his win will never be an ass pull or main character magic. he's been meticulously built up as a character throughout the manga. if someone pays attention to the story, none of what i've written here is shocking to them.

There is no pain like having a very specific kink, but that kink almost always goes hand in hand with another kink, and unfortunately, that other kink is, for whatever reason, the BIGGEST squick you've ever had.

I stare longingly at my favorite kink tag knowing i can never go in there sobs

feeling :( but I know it's because my back is acting up again

[fancylala4]

“Blah blah blah I want marvelous to change things up little! Blah blah I don’t want them to go back to what it used to be. Blah blah sdv was made by one person and I put in more hours into that game than I did with rune factory 4 and story of seasons ever did!”

Good, go play that game instead of whining about sos/rf games not being like it on the fucking sos/hm/rf forum for the 100th time. Not everyone likes that game (I hated every single thing about sdv) and wants sos/rf to be exactly like that game.

I know I say this many times before but I will say it again. Sos: poot did change everything up and guess what? Everyone in the community hated that game. So much that they are worried that the next game is just like it. The last thing this company needs is to further alienate their audience by taking out and changing things that made them love the franchise.

My friend has given me a very passionate recommendation of epic: the musical and it sounds so interesting but since that recommendation i've encountered the online fandom for it and they've all been the most insufferable people alive 😔 I try not to let fandom influence my enjoyment of a work but that's usually AFTER i've already consumed and enjoyed it, not before. You fuckers are gonna make me get a bad grade in friendship media resonance.

Having of those moments where I wish to yeet the like button into the sun or maybe make it so there was setting you could turn on so that people can only reblog posts (even better with the minimum requirement of adding at least one tag)!!

It's kind of absurd that one of my fics is getting close to 500 notes while simultaneously being one I've had the least actual human interactions come from. Like...... come on, that's now how it should be AT ALL!

Don't get me wrong, I'm so thrilled people are clearly finding it and I guess enjoying it(??) but just having endless likes without people letting me know what they enjoyed about it or even if they liked it kind of makes me sad. That's not why I want to share my writing here!

I love having those little human connections with others. I don't ever want my writing to feel transactional. I would love to talk to more people about things I've written. It's truly one of the best feelings and I would hate to lose that, the more I write or the more notes my fics get. Please don't be shy!! I get the social anxiety, but there is no reason to be. I am truly just a Din Djarin obsessed loser.

Anyway, whine over. I don't want to focus on the negatives here and I appreciate every single person who has ever left a positive interaction with something I've written. You are truly a light!

rant about irish history below

im reading a book about the troubles written by an american for my book club and it genuinely makes me want to scream. it’s supposedly neutral or even focusing on the ira but it has the same tired attitude towards the conflict as every other bullshit british version. for example it describes the verified fact that the british army commited crimes during the troubles as “the impression, in the minds of many catholics, that the army was simply another instrument of sectarian oppression” when it is a matter of public record that the british army carried out assassinations of catholics who were completely innocent of involvement with the ira, that catholics, whether republican or not, were interned at an overwhelmingly disproportionate rate to loyalists, and that british intelligence operations directly lead to the deaths of catholics. i am no ira sympathiser and i think any attempt to look at the harm they caused to their own community and the wider country is good, but what infuriates me is the blatant hypocrisy with which the wider context is treated. accounts like these always act like the ira sprang up out of nowhere without mentioning the systemic and widespread discrimination and police brutality against catholics (and if this is mentioned it’s isolated to “bad apples” with an incorrect veneer of broad protestant toleration applied), or the proliferation of loyalist terrorist groups during the troubles, or the collaboration between the british army and unionist groups like the uwc. and they conveniently forget that the protestant majority in the north is not a natural result of population movement but the product of plantation and land seizure and then act like it is completely unreasonable for people either side of the border to want a united ireland because in 1922 the protestants there didn’t want it. i am not saying the ira were good or that irish people generally have always been perfect little victims or indeed that many irish people were not directly involved in british colonialism elsewhere but i would just like a level playing field when we talk about what happened as opposed to this constant distortion of the basic facts

it is important to note that i have not met a single other out-of-stater who is happy to be in michigan, and the only people I've met who wholeheartedly love michigan are people who've never left michigan in their lives. except to go to amusement parks, that is

I'm a chronic lurker, touching Tumblr infrequently at best (haven't even made myself a TES sideblog) but I need to tell you that stumbling upon Project Ja-Kha'Jay amongst the endless hellfire of anime-faced tiddy mods was such a breath of pure fresh air- even moreso when I got to turn Maiq into an alfiq. Your artistic vision is impeccable and adds so much to the vibes of the khajiit, it is never leaving my load order. I'm even throwing my save to the wind to update. Worth it! I was definitely heartbroken when I realized you also gave the orcs a makeover but I hadn't snagged it before you (validly) removed it from the nexus. The nexus community is so gross and honestly I only download from there as a necessary evil to Skyrim modding. I'm so sorry you've been subjected to the grossness with your mods, especially with Children of the Pariah. From what I've seen here, it looks like another masterpiece. A love letter to the orcs as they are, with so much attention to detail and respect for the lore. I'd love to have the chance to add it to my game somewhere else away from the Nexus, but there's no pressure. I can admire the work you've done and throw your amazing designs into my headcanons. I just wanted to let you know that while it might seem that you're throwing your hard work into the void, there's fans who actually care for the depth and details and who share your frustrations.

Hey, thanks for the kind words :) glad you're enjoying the Khajiit and sorry about the inconvenience for Children of the Pariah

I will be re-uploading CotP and all mods after the upcoming PJKJ addon on my mod blog, @my-tamriel-now

I will reblog any posts I make there on this blog as well.

Sorry there's no ETA, I need to finish the Khajiit Will Follow addon and then update CotP before I will publish it again.

I really do appreciate your kindness <3
