#sorry for the downer post

[douwatahima]

not to bring the vibe down on this tuesday evening but i'm really at the point where i wish this year would just...end or give me a do-over or something. i have had the most miserable and awful past few months that i think i've ever experienced, and every time it seems like it's going to get better it somehow gets monumentally worse.

i just need like...one win. anything at all, i don't care what it is. just. one. win.

Labels aren't a be all end all, but they're still important. If I'd had the words to explain myself as a kid I could have avoided so much frustration and confusion and pain.

If I knew the term gender fluid and what it meant, or hells, just the term nonbinary, I could have been a happier kid. I wouldn't have spent so much time trying to get people to not see me as a girl. I wouldn't have felt like being a girl was something I couldn't escape if I didn't want it. I wouldn't have felt like I needed to escape being a girl because I wouldn't have felt trapped.

If I knew the term asexual, I wouldn't have spent weeks in my bedroom terrified of getting married because marriage meant needing to have sex. I wouldn't have panicked and been hurt over the idea that no one would want me if they couldn't touch me like that. I wouldn't have just decided not to have relationships so I wouldn't have to explain to my partner that I didn't want sex. I wouldn't have felt broken for hating the idea of something supposed to be wonderful so very, very much.

If I had known what it meant to be ADHD, because I did know that term (thanks Riordan), if not what it meant, I could have pointed out my problems so much earlier. I could have asked for help instead of spending years thinking that it was normal to feel like you couldn't do anything you wanted, like it was normal to forget what was going on as it happened.

A label isn't just a little sticker saying "I'm this!" A label is access. To a community, to help, to resources. A label isn't sticking you in a box, it isn't limiting you down to being only this one thing. It's screaming into the void, begging not to be alone, and hearing hundreds of voices call back from the dark that you aren't.

And sometimes that's all it takes to make things a little better.

TW: Death, cancer, anger, heavy, swearing

Fuck I hate cancer so much! Like so fucking much! It has taken away a few very important people in my life already. While it dose not make it better, those people got to live a life, they were older when they passed. I knew that young people can get cancer, I guess I was just fortunate enough to not be faced with it till now.

My cousin, who is one of my best and closest friends, still so young, as terminal brain cancer and fucking hell it sucks! Watching him struggle with not being able to keep up with his physically taxing passions, watching him struggle with the way his body is reacting to treatments. Watching his Wish (dream trip with Make a Wish) get taken away because his condition worsened and can no longer fly safely might have been the worst. Having to watch someone so young deal with something and not being able to stop it is a feeling I can't describe, only that it is all kinds of horrible. Everything seems to be happening so fast yet like slow motion at the same time.

It makes me so frustrated when people keep saying that he will have a miracle and get better when no one has ever been cured of the kind of cancer he has! It feels so disrespectful and mocking, but I know they are coming from a good place, witch if the frustrating part!

It all just sucks! Knowing that all the plans we made for the future, all the trips, jobs, birthdays, adventures are not going to happen. How do you just keep going when someone who is such a huge part of your life, who was supposed to be around for all of it, is just not going to be? How are you supposed to keep going when the person who grew up with you won't be around for the rest of it?

I wish you could get better! I Fucking hate cancer!

Pretty sure I got more hate comments on my most recent art tiktok than I've gotten positive comments on ANY art on ANY platform in the last month...

Makes it pretty hard to wanna post art at all.

by the way if you think an endangered species deserves to go extinct because it takes effort to save them/they can’t look after themselves, you need to reevaluate the way you look at the world because that is an extremely flawed, messed up, and sad worldview.

The funny thing is I dont really read the Magic story. I hear about it second hand from other more invested players, often with a "huh, that's neat." I dont have any particular attachment to the Magic characters. I certainly dont care about the sanctity of any professed "Magic IP". But for some reason the UB announcement still felt bad, and it took me a few days to figure out why.

It's because to me, the cards are the story. Everything else is supplementary. It's in the art, the flavor text, and the mechanics. It's the kami being represented by enchantment creatures in Kamigawa. It's the fact that Repel Calamity destroys every Calamity Beast in Bloomburrow. It's the Guilds and the Khans and the Shards. It's the fact you can drain your opponent's life total with vampires or overwhelm them with rats or put every card from their library into their graveyard to win. Story and gameplay are not separate in Magic, and that's a big part of what made it so special to me. I care about these things because the game made me care. But now the game wants to be about something else, about other stories I already know and have heard before. It's not just a betrayal- it's boring. I'm not learning something new, I'm experiencing something old. Of course Wolverine has Regenerate. I'm already over it.

SQUID GAME 3 COUNTDOWN — Question 17 / 96

Which character do you think is most misunderstood by the fandom?

[iinryer]

i know we’re all super jazzed about bi buck, but please for the love of god y’all have got to stop saying “gay panic” and “bi panic”. i know it’s a funny-sounding phrase but it does NOT mean what you think you’re saying

Vent?? Idk man I'm in wolf feels

It's nothing dark per se, but its about like, love and missing someone dearly

I'm in the aftermath of the biggest breakup of my whole life, and that's kinda why I made this account, to make friends and to shift my focus off my ex</3

The sucky part is that it was almost 3 + 1/2 years down the drain, and I sometimes sit at my phone and hope for him to text me, like a dog. It fucking sucks because he blocked me and now I'm left out of the loop

Which, I was the one who needed our relationship to split apart, I was waiting for him to visit after years of not seeing him in person, and it never happened. I was a secret to his whole family, and I was kind of treated like a friend the whole time. it was a whole thing.

But I keep waiting. I wait for his calls, his texts, his art to be sent. Anything. I know his pets' names, i know his family, i know his full name, and i have no use of any of the information.

i waited like a dog, and all i got was scraps.

i wait like a dog, and no matter what i will love him even if one day he stops loving me.

with rise of red being out finally, and my descendants art getting a bit of attention now as its trending, so has my descendants oc, Queenie. idk how many times artists have to say this, and im sure me saying it will be just as redundant, but like.. :/ dont compare peoples ocs to other characters, and especially dont say one is better??? im sorry to get serious here as im usual chill, and i usually air my grievances elsewhere, but it really really hurts people comparing my oc to Lizzie Hearts from ever after high??

i put the idea of queenie into movement after i saw descendants royal wedding for the first time and before we had any rise of red information or content. before we saw ANYTHING. the queen of hearts is one of my favorite disney villains and alice in wonderland is one of my favorite disney movies id watch on repeat since childhood. one thing i wasn’t was an ever after high kid growing up, and i literally forgot Lizzie even EXISTED until i got the first message about her and my oc. no, i didnt base anything off of her. when characters have the same source material, theres going to be similarities, i dont find it shocking that 2 characters based on the queen of hearts, and both being daughters of the queen of hearts to hold similar design aspects. card suits, yellow, black, white and red are all design aspects that come from the queen of hearts.

i dont know if some of you realize how hurtful and discouraging a comment like that can be for artist that pours themselves into their work and their characters. im certain you dont set out with ill intent, or maybe you do, i dont know you, but maybe think before you press send on your message.

the amount of reptiles i see on petfinder being in, not great conditions makes me very upset i think

i can mostly tell with beardies given i take care of one myself. the lack of knowledge on these animals for the general public is just astonishing to me and i hope these guys all find good homes,,,

remember to feed your reptiles the right diet and make sure they have enough calcium and light and such please

make sure they have a big enough cage and the right vitamins

[fight-nights-at-freddys]

was part of an experience that I personally just despise, especially within the community of proshippers specifically, I have to say, most of y'all are so kind and nice and I really do love this community of wonderful people.

but I've had some awful moments of seeing proshippers get randomly upset over people just simply asking questions. Yes, I understand that sometimes ppl asking questions can be them mocking you or making it a way to mock and/or harass you, it's happened to me. However I'm talking about actual questions because the person is curious.

Take for instance today, I saw a person question why some fans of Mouthwashing like Jimmy because of his actions, mostly related to him being a rapist, and they were trying to understand and most importantly, they were trying to have a conversation--not an argument, a conversation--over it.

And the follow up was a proshipper getting mad saying how much they hate the Mouthwashing fandom, that they were comparing the question to an experience they had where they were called a pedo and a zoo, when in reality it was just a basic question.

Stuff like this irks me, because I've seen a lot of people asking why proshippers ship dark things sometimes and they mean it in a neutral way, and people take it so wrong and they try to attack the person for merely asking.

I understand if you're not in a well mental state, I understand if you've dealt with some terrible people, but please, please don't think that everyone who is curious is secretly out to get you, and don't use that to try to attack them. That makes you no better than the antis who attack or try to harm proshippers.
