ofc the one day im wfh because i have a medical specialist appt i get back from the hospital to check my work email and see that one of the FEW ppl who actually talks to me at work is “no longer with [organization]” and im just??? OUT OF THE BLUE????? she wasnt contract like me???? had been at [organization] for about the same time as me and i thought shit was going well??? 

and my boss probably isnt in tmrw so theres no one to tell me what’s going on bc no one cares about the stupid child archives assistant in the basement

Ive been thinking about that prologue way top much

[b0ylik3r]

i saw some replies on a moots post that got me a bit weirded out but im not abt to start unnecessary drama for them so im gonna say something about it here:

if you are a proshipper, or comshipper, or profic, or pro whatever the fuck, and you see someone who's asking if something is a proship or not, your response should NOT be: "they're fictional and i don't care so YOU shouldn't care either".

the reason this weirded me out is because a. some people do not agree with you and you have no right to force your fanbase opinions on them, and b. some people!! dont enjoy csa in their ships!!! fictional or not!!!!! because!!!!!!! that's fucking!!!!!!!!!! weird!!!!!!!!!!!! me personally i don't enjoy my ships with a side of pedophilia or incest, im not gonna harass you if you do i guess but you should NOT try to tell people that they should just because wahh wahh its fictional it doesn't matter. it matters to some people. dont just tell them "enjoy what you enjoy no matter if it's a pedophile ship or not!! :)" just because you enjoy it.

also this moot has proship dni in their bio and pinned. why are you even there lmao

putting lilith into situations

[lesbian-kyoru]

arata is super interesting because at first he has shifts in disposition that feel almost inconsistent—he can be super sweet and earnest, cold and withdrawn, fiery and competitive, lots of juxtaposed traits etc etc—but all these facets of his personality simply stem from the traumas and experiences he’s been through 1) before the start of chihayafuru and 2) during the story. 

in his first appearance, arata is already established as shy and guarded around new people, which is only reinforced by being bullied by his classmates at his new school. not only has he internalized that karuta is the one thing he is good at in life, and it’s the only thing where his dream (and NEED) is to be the best—but besides the obvious connection to his grandfather’s expectations, a subset of this is that his grandfather tells him that he can make friends playing karuta. unfortunately, as soon as arata moves he’s bullied for literally everything, and excelling at karuta only further alienates him from his peers.

this pattern continues throughout his adolescence, even after he’s made a life long connection with chihaya and taichi: karuta alienating him from others when it was supposed to bring him friendship and connection. along with the trauma of watching his grandpa die (+ arguably blaming himself for his death) and the following grief, it’s honestly not surprising that arata becomes isolated, emotionally closed-off, and at times cold or insensitive. those experiences would harden anyone, especially a sixteen-year-old. he was treated like an outcast as a child, lost touch with his friends due to distance, and struggled to find community within his passion that’s often incredibly lonely. all of these factors make arata emotionally guarded. he’s quick and impulsive to lash out because he doesn’t feel safe and comfortable until he trusts people. 

even though arata is so kind at heart and really earnest with people he knows well (i.e. chihaya and taichi), just like many characters his experiences and subsequent insecurities/fears haven’t left him unaffected—and i love that we see that thread of his development come up so early on.

Everything was going great until I wanted to share a snippet of chapter 12 with a friend & learned that discord won't let me upload images from mobile anymore. I am now too frustrated to do anything

Honestly one of the biggest like. Cues that tells me how chill ppl are is how they talk to kids

I think a lot of people forget that children are. Yknow. Small, developing people. Not animals, not idiots. Small people who are still growing up

Yeah there are subjects or situations not appropriate for kids, and you probably want to try not swear a lot around them, but they’ll be better off and grow up a better person if you’re willing to treat them like people instead. Its OK for a kid to know what trans means, its ok to talk about disability with kids nearby, its ok to talk about most difficult topics like racism, you just gotta be honest and considerate and phrase it well

i have a very specific bumper sticker I want. it's long (like 20 inches), skinny (no taller than an inch), includes the traditional pride rainbow in horizontal blocks (like, the colors change horizontally). i cant find it anywhere online, except maybe from an etsy shop that also sells cop bumper stickers
