All this aroace character shipcourse has proven to me that a majority of people that interact in fandom cannot actually interact with characters and media outside of shipping and genuinely I believe you need to learn how to interact with media outside of shipping.
#text#fandom#aro#ace#aroace#aromantic#asexual#this became extremely obvious with Encanto - where the main message of the movie was ignored#and people were so desperate for shipping they started shipping background characters or even the family members....eugh#like at some point you must understand your inability to interact with media outside of a narrow romantic scope is an actual problem#at some point you need to accept you don't ACTUALLY like the media you're interacting with#like genuinely can you say anything else that you like about a piece of media besides the fact you want two characters to kiss?#genuinely i do believe the way some of you interact with things needs to change because it's made fandom spaces literally unbearable#also it has severely limited some of your guy's critical thinking skills#if you want content based around shipping then look at the romance genre it's literally right there for this very reason#shipping just needs to stop dominating fandom discussions and interactions. shipping should not be the main focus of every genre ever ffs#that or y'all need to literally start tagging your shit so that people can actually block it out and find the posts that they want to see

never volunteer for anything university related man. also go listen to this
#first i thought oh it would just be this one poster. why not. i can do that. i have time. so i did#they told me the general aesthetic and no further details so i thought‚ oh‚ okay‚ so i can basically freestyle this. yknow‚ like an idiot#they told me to change the color scheme‚ the font‚ the color of the font too‚ pretty much redo the entire poster#and these are notes i would be getting late at night. like around 12-2am. i had to revise that poster a shitload of times and was#tired. and then i was done and i thought Welp! at least that's over!#little did i know they were actually planning for me to do MORE WORK: design diplomas/certificates and make one for all the people needed#So here i am 12 diplomas‚ 24 certificates‚ 31 letter of thanks later#all done in one person. all done in two days (deadline was until the end of the week but i couldnt start until at least thursday)#I couldnt start because they sent me the wrong list of people first. so i had to cram(heh) a lot. of hours of work in these past 2 days#Yknow at least they liked my design the first time and i didnt have to revise anything. but ohhhh the fucking. filling out the papers for#each person. absolutely daunting. especially in something like ibispaint x that doesnt have an option to align text to the center#of the canvas. which is more my fault because i am an ibispaint x user. but anyway#They sent me the correct official document. it had incomplete information because they just didnt write patronymics or grades in the#official document. so i had to go and check the first table and figure out everyone's information myself#but the thing is that‚ that table must've been written by the students/participants because stuff like Name Of University wasn't consistent#some literally wrote their school's names wrong and i had to double-check that and fix that for the certificates. fine. whatever#but remember the official document? now imagine it even MORE incomplete because there is a list of at least 10 people and just their#SURNAMES AND INITIALS. so like a digital archeologist i had to go and dig up the names and patronymics of teachers and students i've never#heard of in my fucking life. i had to ask my older friends like Hey is there any chance you know the patronymic of your groupmate thanks???#and the cherry on top. is that the Official Document has a bunch of grammatical errors in it. the most fucking basic ones.#'анастасие' instead of 'анастасии'‚ 'преподователь' instead of 'преподаватель'#so i had to look out for those TOO‚ While Tired (i almost copied the mistakes because all of my work required referencing the doc#but they couldnt even write a fucking grammatically correct or consistent doc so that's nice)#anyways i sent all 67 files and my supervisor said she will look over them 'during the evening'#I dont know what her fucking definition of evening is considering it's already 6pm. i guess i expect to be messaged at 2am once more to fix#some inconsequential bullshit#let's just say i am just a liiiiiittle bit . just sliiightly . burnt out#Call me a vessel the way im full of void but also completely hollow#alas . at least there is fanmade threat music to listen to on loop#crammerposting

#ask#tvl#ladynoir#mlbposting#no way tvl ladynoir texts#<- cannot remember if she’s ever revealed that ladynoir text in tvl#me acting like two people who know each other in a modern era sending each other messages is CRAAAAAZY news#tvl ch2

story of my life
#out of context quotes#text messages#uhhhh context is that i sent a part from my writing in the gc#cause woopsies accidentally gave the child trauma again#every time i write something it's always just like#from the top but slightly to the left (different variant of trauma)#or different way these two exact same characters meet#again#i yearn for the found family#writing

i think, and this may just be my zekrom bias speaking, that if someone wants to experience the full value of bw's story it's better to play through white first. black has the issue of coming off as very dismissive towards plasma's legitimate and well-founded claims that pokemon abuse DOES occur (and it does! from the kanto games' marowak to bw2's liepard there's instances where it's put in the spotlight, so it certainly does happen)... by assigning the protagonist to truth, it feels pretty evident that n's beliefs are "wrong", and the game just seems to brush any questioning aside.
on the other hand, white giving n the hero of truth role means we're basically forced to think about what that means for the relationship of people and pokemon at large. to translate a point n makes in chargestone cave: if you allow people to coexist with pokemon, even if the majority of trainers treat them well, there will always be someone somewhere out there who abuses or neglects them instead. are we okay with that? should those pokemon still be allowed to suffer, just because what they experience is an outlier to the general rule? while not outright stated, zekrom's association with hope and the strive for the ideal suggests that we don't brush off these facts, but instead take them into consideration, and aim to change the world based off of them... like how in bw2 society in unova puts a lot more emphasis on the bond between people and pokemon, and on pokemon as equals (see: iris's dialogue before entering your team info the hall of fame).
i think black version has its own unique avenues to explore, but on the surface level, it's a much more cut and dry, "no, you're just wrong", type of story that kind of makes you work harder to fit it into bw's overall theming of "the world's not black and white, there's not a singular objective right or wrong perspective."
#text#pokemon bw#this is inspired by a few posts i've come across over the past handful of months including a poketuber's who completely missed the point#i think black version should've been handled with as much care as white. because how gamefreak did it was kind of.. well lazy#and downright mean at times (white getting way more version exclusives due to white forest + black 2 making black city an empire of greed#with kinda. i don't know. depressing visuals like route 4 being turned into suburbia)#(oh and leaving in stuff like thundurus's cry over tornadus's + the castelia city paintings still being 'ugly truth and eternal ideals')#it may be too much to hope that there'll be some reworking in the inevitable remakes#that gives more credit black versions telling of the story but i doubt it. this is modern tpc we're talking about#ANYWAY yeah i think if you want to engage with the plot white version is the more rounded of the two. and i've played all 4 gen 5 games so#i was able to get a pretty good comparison between my experiences with the version differences#and oh for the record this is not a diss on anyone who takes the wrong messages from black becausefrankly black presents the wrong messages#even if it did not actively intend to. turns out just changing the word 'ideals' to 'truth' is not enough to be compelling

work pissing me the fuck offfff bro
#for the sake of brevity my day was going to be leave home in my car at 9:30. start 10:00. stay with them as social support for 3 hours.#maybe have some lunch with them or right after depending. drive 20 or so minutes to pick someone up at 2:00#technically it is rostered as 2:30 but they usually finish earlier lately. drive them home which takes around 25 mins. then drive another 20#to do a clean at 3ish for roughly an hr to 1.5 hrs. then drive home for 20-30 minutes. that was going to be my day#these fuckwits decide at 9:25 to message me that there is a roster change. I now have to go somewhere inbetween 1:00 and 2:30 for an hour#long clean. which is also 20 minutes away from my first client. then drive another 20 or even 30 minutes to pick the person up. followed#by the next person. I call them to say hey can you at least tell the transport client because they might be waiting an extra hour than they#expect to. this person is 91 years old by the way. they say oh yeah I will text them. I say could you try call to let them know? they say#the same thing again. on top of this it's just super fucking annoying#I'm also meant to have an hour lunch break as per my roster agreement. tell me where you see any possible gap between 9:30 and basically#5 fucking pm where I could even have ten minutes to myself. thankfully my first client is pretty easy going so I'll have some lunch then#I suppose. that is besides the point though#plus I get like... a few dollars above what is the Australian minimum wage per hour#anyway I'm so sick of this shit they did this yesterday too. multiple times over the last two months and tbh most of last year too

tomorrow's three years since i moved to california and started living my life for real. and in other unrelated news yesterday i was friend broken up with by one of my best friends over text. something something abt leaving the past behind, moving to greener pastures, releasing myself from attempting relationships with deeply selfish people, finally being unburdened from the anguish that is an east coast winter. i don't know
#i am so angry lol. she is ending our relationship over a few text messages from two months ago and not even giving us the chance to talk#she is just avoidant attachment styling her way out of being friends w me bc she is so convinced i'm going to be mean to her#almost ten years of friendship and she's willing to throw it away over a text message conflict. ok child! go fuck yourself babe#lol. lmao lol. whatever#day by day everything is the same until one day you’re forced into realizing nothing is what it was

FORGET I EXIST??#it's been the same thing twice now where she says she sent a message but i never get anything#like at some point you gotta be like hm. maybe there's something going on#i'm so fucking mad rn i wanna bash my head into a wall#if she doesn't get this shit sorted out next time i'm gonna lose it bc how are you gonna let this happen more than two times in a row#i'm so tired. man. i hate it here#maybe i'm just overreacting but this does not bode well for my job#like is it too much to ask for basic communication with your employees#ugh

Help me I have problems
#seasonal depression especially but hear me out#it has been. two. days#QB has been out of town for two days.#i missed him on night 1. i hate it#i don’t like feeling dependent but everything I did felt boring in the scope of#’i wish i was talking to qb rn’#the fucked up thing is that both yesterday and today we have talked#via text#but that was while the sun was still up or up-ish.#the sun went down and I went crazy#as usual#suddenly everything is boring and my thoughts are too loud#and all I can focus on are all the ways I may have fucked up or been too passionate or annoying#too much of something or not enough of something else#finally I sent#‘at the risk of sounding weird; socially inept; or clingy. things are a lot more boring when you’re not around#WHY DO I HAVE TO ADD A DISCLAIMER TO SEND MESSAGES TO PEOPLE#so after thinking for like 10 minutes I deleted the first part and left the intention- not the warning.#bc a thought corssed my mind asking if I would find it weird if QB or some other friend said that to me#and no i would love it. 10/10 compliment.#and if he were to say ‘same’ i’d be thrilled tbh#so what kind of message am I sending (pun unintended) if I call that statement weird clingy or socially inept?#it’s unhelpful for me#sometimes harmful#and I don’t want to make my friends more anxious than they already are.

i'll be glad that i made it out, and sorry that it all went down like it did // in the end it's better for me, that's the moral of the story. // know it's for the better, know it's for the better, know it's for the better, know it's for the better.
(motion sickness - phoebe bridgers, moral of the store - ashe, waiting room - phoebe bridgers)
#another concept that could be a web weaving if i found more#uh oh chat its been about a year since a lot of Really Fucked Up Shit started happening to me!! you know what that means!!!!!!!!!#the body remembers in cycles. trauma is the only time that my mental and physical clock is precise enough to measure#and also for some reason when im cooking Mac and cheese but that's unimportant rn#not this specific issue but a very specific anecdote i recently remembered and brought up to my friends. a year or two ago#i was mentally weirdly fucked up about a specific interpersonal thing from back in MIDDLE SCHOOL and was looking#back on old text messages one night feeling. y'know. awful. and i scrolled to the last texts i had sent and received with this person#it was either a year or two years(don't remember which) ONE DAY OFF.#ONE DAY. ONE DAY OFF FROM A YEAR MARK.#anyways i don't remember the exact dates of some of the biggest incidents last year but it was very much an ongoing#Bad and Traumatic and then in january whahoo we'll see if the Paranoia returns !!#and im watching as my mind slowly slips into thinking more and more about these people and all of the Fucked Up Shit and#also the mindsets i found myself within a year ago. not fun :((#but I have a job now and friends that actually don't hate everything about me as a person so im just. ignoring ittttt#PLUS. weekend Friday night w nothing tmrw until then afternoon? erm. beverage and experiencing symptoms (in a good way) tonite#going to watch some stimboards and forget my problems#just me rambling again

#sorry sorry I just woke up and im having yesterday-was-weird thought again#and they are going here so i don't have to talk to the person that they're um about yet#basically im glad that im in a good enough space now that um#someone ive ive had text-based sex with and uhhh sent an ill-advised video to in like oct when i was Feeling Bad™ and doing. hm. too much.#like 6 months post text-based sex/ill adised video now aha and we've not spoke at all since like january and that was 'how was hols'#they asked to meet up 'not for sex just as friends' or i forget exact wording but basically that#no-pressure museum not-a-date#and i said I'd think about it. because i am as everyone knows a fucking idiot.#basically im glad that im in a better place now than the last time someone like expressed an interest in me as a person#because while this did give me a day long wobble i didn't have a full weekend long actual panic about it#tho they are two v different situs#an ace poly friend asking to go out with me vs someone i uh virtually fucked aha um asking to meet up for (mostly) being-friends purposes#same several-hours-later 'oh god no what have i done bad bad bad no thank you actually no sorry i cant sorry' but less intense this time#but at least i only said ill think about it?#and not actually immediately said yes because it's nice to feel wanted#and then gone Maximum Regret™ because actually all of this is way too much i don't like it i don't want it thank you but im sorry no#weird. i guess i don't have such a high baseline stress level any more? since i'm not at uni n stuff#and someone over messages going no pressure you want to be irl friends (maybe fwb no pressure)? is um#is different. to someone irl going you want to go out acely? yeah? awesome lets hold hands here is the discord with a whole buncha people#i guess#but i am being equally aro-not-super-ace Autism™ about it aha#and i am. eventually. going to be like. thought about it and no sorry. eventually.#if they ask again#i am kinda hoping they'll leave it there and forget they asked so i don't have to navigate social stuff#im much better at navigating canals everybody leave me alone please thank you#(everybody over there leave me alone. y'know. you guys are fine.)

Me panicking because i have 9 missed calls and 5 emails talking about my absence and how "a colleague could take over for me" vs. Me knowing it's really not that important no matter how pushy a client is and that on top of it I'm underpaid and have way to much overtime so i shouldn't even care
#i have 14 hours overtime#collected within 2 weeks lol#you know how it's apparently mandatory for companies in germany to have a way track employees working time? yeah we're#the only company in the whole fucking country who doesn't do that (obviously that's not true there's probably plenty more but it's#still not right.) so we don't get paid overtime nor does it get acknowledged in any way#so technically we're not allowed to even it out (which most people try to do anyway because tf do they think they are asking us to work for#free) but I'm dedicated to not collect any more unpaid working hours so i take the liberty to leave work early this week#so today i left at 12pm (and then got home 4 hours later because another person decided to kill themselves by train. they should call me#first. or anyone else taking the train. I'm sure there'd be plenty of volunteers to do the killing if it means not another miserable day#stuck in a disgusting train). and i logged in again at 6pm today to see if i have anything important messages (stupid i know)#and i saw the missed calls and that there had been an email exchange with me in the cc talking about the 'changes' made in one of the#articles and that someone else could do that for me since i couldn't be reached and at first i felt ashamed and scared#but now it's honestly just pissing me off. that asshole can't write emails and communicate requests like normal people can he#he already called me last week about something completely stupid and acts like his matters are the most important shit in the world#fuck you if you can't wait one day you should have sent this a month earlier because i won't stay online everyday#just to see if there might be an 'important' change you want me to make Immediately. bitch.#also missed two calls from my colleague but she didn't send any messages about what she wanted so i asked her because i felt bad for not#being online and turns out she wanted Nothing. just hear how i was. JUST TEXT ME THEN???? I HATE IT HERE FUCK YOU#seriously i don't get paid enough for this to bother me so much. she probably gets 12-15€ more than me per hour#of course she doesn't care about her overtime as much as i do. i get minimum wage which is less than what I'd get if i still worked at uni#as a student assistant so fuck this shit it's really not important or worth it. from now on i'll only put in minimum effort too#sorry got carried away. rant over now i guess#void screams#work stuff

#i was rewatching this episode whilst stoned the other day#so my experience might have been shaped by the luxury of that experience#but like bruh...this show ROCKED#slayed shook boots the house down#it's such a limitus test of the best ways to use creative license wrt historical texts#bcus while the primary source does show that these two women said these words in some effect#the report alleges that there was some intermediary in these messages. this was the message anne sent mary vs the response mary gave#to the messenger...not that they had this sort of direct confrontation or even conversation#but of course this was the choice in how to adapt the source and without that creative choice we wouldn't have this#just...fantastic scene#the whole episode is so interesting and i hadn't realized prior that they chose it to be the same one#mary's refusal and anne deciding to manipulate henry's choice for his next mistress during her second pregnancy on her father's advice#so in that framing it was how she decided to employ defense against the unsaid threat in that confrontation#also don't @ me. she has water signs in her chart
