#non-conformist

[pandemic-info]

Some personal observations on the characteristics of people I know who are continuing to take as much care as possible to not get Covid (in no particular order): a short 🧵

1. High impulse control 2. Personal experience of serious illness 3. Strong internal locus of control 4. Non-conformists. Often a personal history of non-conformity going right back to adolescence. Yet... 5. Paradoxically, strong moral code; belief in ethical duty to the greater good of society. 6. Well-informed. 7. Rational; aware of their own cognitive biases. 8. Methodical 9. Adaptable 10. Emotionally stable 11. Comfortable with uncertainty 12. Pragmatic 13. Intuitively understand risk/benefit analysis 14. Disciplined

The fishnet saga is so far my favourite daily figures arc, excited for what's cooking next

thank you anon 🙏 stay tuned for tomorrow evening's discussion and discourse hour on dailyfigures dot tumblr dot com

verdad anon here, and whats something you've noticed about any atz member that you dont see tinys really mentioning? :o for me, it would be hj's innate desire/instinct of knowing whats going on with the other members. he just seems like someone that really likes to be included in convos fr

and another interesting thing i could think of would be san low-key being intimidated by people yelling (the drunk wanteez episode) or... people, in general 😭😭 (idk if intimidated is the right word im sorry). only bring it up because of that one time he went to a cute plushie store, and got intimidated enough by the people looking weirdly at him being there— that he ended up dipping and not buying anything

maybe its a cultural thing/the way i was raised, but like. if you like cute things then wgaf 😭😭 i could picture my mom going up to him and going like "y que tiene? es tu propio dinero y la gente va a hablar por hablar, tu compra tu peluchito"— what i mean is that people here dont really care about what strangers say or their judgement

(and since i bring up my mom here. there needs to be a study as to why many latam mothers are so fond of korean men like 😭😭 my mom likes to see a yt channel named "coreanovlogs" and is really fond of jhope bts + found san and jongho lovely, a very common liking apparently)

ramble over xoxo 💋

Hi!!!! They're headed to Chile today!! Did you see? I'm hoping that the LATAM Atiny have a wonderful time and make their exceptional posts and some of it will come through to my side of the world.

To answer your question - I don't actually keep track of the Atiny per se. My Sisters in Hottokism and others just amused by my on- going OMG YUNHO IS MY BIAS AUGH crisis tag me, but I don't know what is really going on in the fandom per se. Is there a particularly cool person on here that you think I should follow?

But I did see this today on instagram and I thought I'd share. I'm of two minds about this sort of writing. I'm not terribly sympathetic, because Korean women just have it harder, nobody acknowledges it and nobody gives women platform to feel this sorry for other women, so this is part of the whole Lonely Man Epidemic or whatever, Korean version, but the demand that men be really good looking is a really recent development that Idol culture is not unrelated to, so I'll leave it here.

And for your interesting point about "Who cares what the strangers think?" - This is a major thing that's hard to get out of in Korea. I suspect in most of Northeast Asia. Not being a nuisance to others and not being disturbing to the general peace is SO IMPORTANT. San embodies a lot of these core cultural values, so it doesn't surprise me that he would get self conscious like that. It's kind of why I love him. I feel his pain.

Your tedious personality and banal interests - anime, right? I'm right, aren't I? - are not a "gender."

A generation ago, you would have been an emo. Before that, a goth. And before that, a punk. You're doing exactly the same thing: trying to "non-conform" in the most conformist, mundane, predictable way of all: following a fashionable trend.

Everybody around you thinks it's stupid, knows what you are, and knows it's a phase you'll grow out of. Just like all the emos, goths and punks did.

Enjoy what you enjoy, wear what you want to wear, do what you want to do. But you were born male or female and you still are, and that can, and will, never change.

Allow me to introduce my latest dnd character: Eurypheus (or Euripheus he hasn’t decided yet) Serinus! He��s a half orc bard and I love him dearly. Words under the cut

1st image: pre transition

did not get ears pierced (thought about it)

loose shirts

Curious soul, hard to pin down

2nd image: briefly tried to take up his mothers job. Tended to zone out and write music

Started growing hair out

3rd image: wants to become a bard, parents are dubious. “Not a real job”. It’s a thing. They settle on him traveling until he “sees reason” once he’s old enough.

It’s a sore spot, he does not like talking about it.

4th image: out on his own

Busking on streets and doing small time gigs

Sends letters home once in a while.

Meanders his way to the under dark

[archersgoon]

you can tell things are bad because i've started doing modern au stuff again. anyway i think froi's the kind of teenager who actually irons his uniform. like he wears those grey trousers and those things are pressed. his shirts too

[bottombillyapologist]

Cannot verbalize it exactly no matter how hard I try but it is deeply, deeply ironic that Eddie Munson was such a hit character for 2.3 seconds and then became synonymous with ‘cringe’. Like fans in general thought he was hot and then went ‘oh he’s actually a little spastic and mean and impulsive and he doesn’t act Normal and he probably doesn’t shower and-‘ like. Did you miss the big red letters above his head spelling out ‘freak’.

We were this close to a whole new wave of people getting into metal and alternative styles and then people got bullied out of wearing hellfire club t shirts before they even came off back order.

Non-Conformists in England

The explosion of radical and dissenting groups after the Civil War is one of the great features of English seventeenth-century history. What contemporary directories of heresy had listed with loathing was now in the open: Quakers, Ranters, Independents, Millenaries, Sabbatarians, Seventh-Day Men, Brownists, Children of the New Birth, Sweet Singers of Israel and so on.

from The Story of England by Michael Wood

George Fox, the principal early leader of the Quakers
