Thinking more abt Z Broly and Paragus and. Their movie is so frustrating and tragic and heart-wrenching AS WELL AS BEING GENERALLY COOL AND FLASHY

As @/RedDogJustice on Twitter pointed out:

Trying to fight Broly head on = respectable

Trying to flee/take him down indirectly = cowardice

That’s. That’s how Broly operates with Paragus. His own father. Every day of his life.

He saved his own father from death as a baby, nearly dying himself in the process, and what did Broly get for it? Being called a freak. A Demon. Being tormented day in and day out by his father telling him the mind control diadem/suppressor crown was to help him. Being forced to hold himself back his whole life until Broly was literally ripped apart by what he tried to contain to be seen as “perfect” and worthy of his father’s pride and love. USED AS A SECRET WEAPON OF PARAGUS FOR SHALLOW, SHORT-SIGHTED PETTINESS.

Z Broly never had a single friend or person who showed him any amount of kindness that wasn’t a veil for secret, hideous cruelty, his entire life, born with something others deemed dangerous, something others felt was an acceptable excuse for dehumanizing him. Nobody tried to understand or help him. Nobody even tried to see beneath the surface or ask if he was okay. They listened to legends, gossip, his father, over what they could see with their own eyes.

His most desperate cry for help turns to joy when he finally lets loose despite being told that it would ultimately kill him. Wicked glee, a chance to show others a fraction of what he’s suffered, and the endless, unstoppable fear he endured. For someone to engage with and finally see him.

Now I almost think that that final punch Goku landed on Z Broly wasn’t so much “Goku’s just that powerful to destroy him” because THIS IS THE FREAKIN LEGENDARY SUPER SAIYAN. THE ONE THAT DESTROYS GALAXIES. Goku was only the ceramic chip to a car windshield.

Broly went out the same way he started: crying for help.

Z Broly is a heartbreaking tragedy and I’ll never be over it tbh

I remember this one post on here that changed my whole Tumblr experience

It was a post for the refugees from Twitter/Reddit and it said a few things that stood out to me

1. It hammered in CRINGE CULTURE IS DEAD HERE into my brain and made me less afraid to express myself as an autistic person

And 2. "You are a raccoon and your blog is your trash pile. You must go out into the world to collect things for your trash pile (aka rebloging) and fill it with whatever you want!" And the moment I read that I thought out loud "IM GONNA BE SUCH A RACCOON YOU DONT EVEN KNOW!1!1!1!1!1" and so I started rebloging and doing more than just posting my own art with a semi professional mask

I started being myself and connecting with other awesome blogs (@the-moth-from-elsewhere and @slime-sandwhich-nom y'all r really cool and I love ur art!) And felling a lot more confident on social media

So confident I started treating Twitter like it was Tumblr Retweeting cool art, being more open about my feelings, and overall understanding social media and what it means to have your own trash pile better than before

So whoever made that original post

I just want you to know you made my life on the Internet so much better than it was before! :3

I wanna vent without anyone having to be like "aww it's ok" because I have thoughts I wanna say without bringing anyone down or have one of those "you'll get there" or "But I think your awesome!" conversations because I KNOW i'll get there and I know I'm awesome but I still have these thoughts so i'm gonna say them.

Also I know that someone out there is going to think the same to me and we can vibe together and it's going to be alright <3

I get kind of sad seeing all of these fic recs with amazing fics and I'm so grateful to see them because it helps me find more things to read, but I'm also sad that i'm not on them hardly ever.

I know i write off the wall things that most people aren't interested in or they won't read it because they don't like me personally and that's ok. It still gets disheartening sometimes.

Every now and again I get comments tht are like "I don't know why you don't think this fic is popular" because It's really easy to see that it's not. When you are in the same spaces as your readers and all these amazing fics are being talked about except yours yeah it kind of gets noticed.

Also, knowing this about myself is why i try so hard to put more effort into sharing the stuff I read more often because I get it man. Y'all are so cool and deserve to be seen.

And when people say "you shouldn't write for other people" I get irritated because 1. don't tell me what to do 2. its perfectly natural to want other people to read your stuff and 3. don't tell me what to think.

Yeah of course i'm already writing what I want to write. I write for me. I just wish that people liked the things I write for me the same way they like the things other authors write for themselves.

We are putting ourselves out there with our own special takes on our interests and still people think its too weird or boring to be interested in.

Also, I want to celebrate mine and other peoples viewer milestones or comment milestones or word counts or whatever because I know they make people feel good. Every little comment, every little boost in readers, every new chapter is something to be celebrated.

You might not care about that kind of stuff, but some people do and i'm tired of not being allowed to celebrate everyones milestones like that in fear or being shamed or get that "But you shouldn't care about that" fuck OFF.

two viewers or two million shit is cool.

Yeah yeah yeah we GET it. Write for yourself.

but sometimes writing for comments is fun too.

ALSO why is it okay to talk about "oh go support authors" but authors complaining that they aren't getting any comments is frowned upon?! "Oh you're just greedy for comments" like?! make it make sense.

If you don't want authors to give up, comment. Support them. tell your friends. Don't be surprised when they give up writing a fic that doesn't have engagement because IT HAPPENS. Sometimes authors, even though they like the thing they are writing, stop caring about it because no one else seems to be into it.

Imagine pouring yourself into a piece of work and .. no one cares. No one cares to say something nice or leave a kudo or anything of the like but the SECOND you abandon it you get shamed for it.

Anyways I have a lot of thoughts. Think what you think. Write how you will. Just be nice y'all.

I don't want my dreams to leave me

I'm scared I'm not good enough

I don't want to fade into obscurity

(vent below break)

I've been struggling with inadequacy lately. I have so many dreams and I'm scared I'm not good enough to ever achieve them. I want to he a voice actor some day I want my podcast to be successful I want art and creation and making people laugh to be my job. I don't know where to start. I'm scared ill die a hobbyist.
