Me after finding out my friend was getting harassed over their opinion over the new s5 animation:

Okay, but seriously. (TW FOR D3ATH THREATS)

They’ve said multiple times that they’re NOT TRYING to disrespect the animators or the people working on the season. They just don’t like the animation and are disappointed with the result, AND THAT’S OKAY!!! You don’t need to like this new animation! You’re ALLOWED to be disappointed!! You’re ALLOWED to have a freaking opinion!!! And the fact that they got fucking DEATH THREATS is just crossing so many fucking lines. It doesn’t matter what kind of opinions someone has over this. If you’re out here harassing people and sending death threats just because they don’t agree with you, you’re the fucking problem and you need to grow the fuck up.

I would like to formally apologize to anyone else who experienced something similar to this during this controversy over the LMK S5 trailer. The animation isn’t a work of art compared to former seasons, I get it. You don’t need to praise it, you don’t even need to like it! You can be disappointed by this even! And if you DO like this animation or just don’t care about it, that’s fine too!

But when harassment and telling people to LITERALLY KILL THEMSELVES is your solution to interacting with people with a different opinion as you, you’re now the problem.

I just hope the people who were targeted realize that, no matter what people say, they can have all the opinions they want! It’s not hurting anybody!

Edit: I am now also aware of the fact that people have been sending death threats to the animators. This is also very much unacceptable. In case no one knows (and thank you so much to @verity-moon for bringing this to my attention), the animators only had ONE WEEK to figure out the style and animate it the best they could. They did what they could, and how are they being rewarded? With messages telling them to kill themselves. I am disgusted and repulsed by these people who think they have a right to send these messages to the people who are kind enough to be giving us a new season of LMK despite the difficulties and the awful deadlines.

We do not know what is going on behind the scenes. We don’t know the pressure and expectations that are placed on those animators. The VERY LEAST you could do is just appreciate that. To the people who have sent the death threats, you are disgusting, vile, and need a serious reality check.

Can we please stop putting down autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people whose traits are considered 'cringe', 'dorky', 'weird' or something else considered to be socially unacceptable?

We get enough shit from neurotypical people—we don't need to throw each other under the bus too.

"But they're making us look bad!"

I. Don't. Care. It's wrong to put each other on hierarchies. Simple.

"omg how dare you like my post?! Why didn't you click on my profile and click the link to my cardd and then click the dni section and scroll down the whole thing???? Now I have to inconvenience myself by clicking the block button!"

Fyi liking and reposting shouldn't count as dni to begin with

Dni should be specifically for interactions such as messaging or attempting to befriend, unless it's like, a minor liking and reposting nsfw

I don't give a fuck if someone likes or reblogs my stuff, but don't fucking message me if I say not to

This especially applies to the really bullshit stuff on dnis that's like "don't interact if you like this thing!!!"

Me liking something should not determine whether or not I can like a post, like, that's so fucking stupid it's insane

Are you that much of a whiny baby that you can't handle someone having a different opinion than you?

Sometimes people like that stupid anime you don't like

Sometimes people like that romance book you think is weird and gross

Sometimes people watch stuff with jokes you think are unfunny or in poor taste

Sometimes people write shit and draw stuff you don't like

That doesn't mean they have to avoid you

If something bothers you, you have to take care of it

It's your responsibility to manage your triggers and squicks in the wide sea of the internet

I shouldn't have to comb through your account before I like a silly meme to make sure you won't witch hunt me

All of you complain about overstimulation and sensory overload

We need to talk about under stimulation. I’m not saying I want to be overloaded with information. No I mean when I get panic attacks because there is not enough self stimulation in a situation. I have to walk out of meetings to pace around and think to calm myself down because my fight or flight response has activated from being not being able to stim.

I get so anxious when I cannot listen to music or have something playing in the background because I need stimulation that I choose to have and which I have control over

It physically hurts my brain.

sometimes i wonder if this an actual disorder i have or am i just being weird

Tips

If you exercise eat

if u don’t u can fast

but never exercise if you’re fasting

cuz then you’ll collapse and be forced to eat and not exercise

If you’re fasting for long periods of time practice harm reduction by:

Drinking A LOT of WATER

Put salt in water for electrolytes or put salt on lemon wedges for electrolytes and minerals

TAKE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS

vitamin deficiencies are dangerous and you need your vitamins iron and other nutrients to try and avoid permanent damage to your brain heart kidneys and general health

If you feel really dizzy and like your vision is going black after a long fast you’re probably gonna pass out from low blood pressure or low blood sugar

If you still feel ok enough to walk around grab some water if not then skip this part.

lay down and lift your legs

(better to lift them with something like a pillow to save energy then to lift them up in the air). take deep slow breaths.

If you managed to prevent yourself from passing out wait for your vision to get clear and your heart rate to settle then keep laying down for at least five more minutes.

After that slowly lower your legs and straighten your back to sit up and sit for 2-5 minutes

only then you can slowly get up and go eat something preferably something that contains some sugar and maybe some protein (no skinny cookies or stuff with artificial sweeteners you’ll just pass out again)

Do not purge for at least a week if you did pass out or you might do permanent damage to your heart deregulate your heart rate

Sleep a lot if you can

While fasting for long periods of time it’s important to sleep rest and just move as little as possible if you’re fasting for multiple days

Have some calories

If you’re fasting for multiple days or even weeks try to break your fast around every 3-5 days with anything between 50-300 calories to maintain some energy levels in your body and prevent yourself from collapsing.

Stay safe <3

It’s crazy how many people just don’t understand why a lot of aro and or ace people don’t like that Alaster gets shipped. It’s not that hard to understand we don’t have a lot to let ourselves lose. I mean can you name 10 asexual characters? 5? Can you name two aro characters. There’s the guy from Archie who they made have a sex scene in a movie version. There’s a few books. I think a background character in Heartstopper? Do you see the theme here??? You’re all queer people, do you not get it? How it feels to have nothing? Is it so wrong to be upset that there’s finally an outwardly aroace person in popular media and instead of people embracing that they’re fighting on the internet about why it’s ok to ignore it? And I will never in my fucking life have anything against the people who are aro and or ace and portray him in THEIR experiences, even if it is a romance or sex favorable experience, but it is obvious that way too many of you guys are allo and it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I don’t even like him as a character that much, he isn’t even made by an aroace artist. The show isn’t even that fucking good, I just want to keep someone like me for once in my life. If there were a million other aroace characters I wouldn’t care, but it just hurts seeing erasure coming from my own community. It just sucks, man, I don’t know. It just sucks

It's hard to explain but sometimes I feel like I am waisting my best years being fat. I'll never be a teenager again and how can I just allow myself to feel this way for the whole year? I want to be thin, live unworried about my body, enjoy this years. Sometimes I look back at events I shouldve enjoyed that i'll never go back to, I wasted them feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. It's sad. All those beach trips, they weren't supposed to be the hell they felt like.

I want to get skinnier to be able to enjoy life.

"How come disabled people are always complaining about their disabilities even if their blog isn't about being disabled" I dunno it's almost like. It's something that effects us every day and some of us just need to vent to feel better about the mass amounts of pain we're in because not everyone can just grin and bear it

Literally what it's like posting on ed and sh Tumblr

[pale-fairytales]

I don't really like to get political but I feel a need to talk about this;

It's so funny. It's so funny to me that the people pushing for KOSA also criticize other countries who do the exact same shit (i.e., China, which from what I've heard (and correct me if I'm wrong please) censors a lot of things) and hate their guts. The fact that they're pushing for censorship directly violates one of the amendments of the constitution (which is free speech) and it baffles me that they think this is okay. But hey these are also the same people that won't do anything about gun violence or school shootings and who want to take away bodily autonomy and gay/trans rights so why am I even surprised.

For the love of god, if you can, help stop KOSA. Not just for fandom purposes, but for the fact that it impacts people who want to transition, people who want/need abortions, it impacts a way that human beings can seek out human contact in an increasingly lonely world where things are growing bleak. Not only that, but the people who are suffering from genocide (8 FUCKING GENOCIDES IN THE WORLD BTW) may not be able to get help or get the word out about their condition if a big chunk of the world can't access the content that helps said people.

And I'm sorry, but if you really cared about children's safety, you a) would do more about school shootings, b) would fix issues that put children in danger (shockingly hunger/malnutrition is still an issue in the U.S.A. just not in the same way as in a war-torn country), c) would fix the foster-care/adoption system, and d) teach parents to have some common fucking sense not to have 5-year-olds on the internet watching age-inappropriate stuff (like 5 year olds listening to Sexxy Red or Ice Spice)

Censorship is bad. It's bad because it can genuinely put lives at risk. If you're for the KOSA bill, don't pretend like it's because you care. You don't care about people—you just want to control them. Just like the people you and its instigators hate so much.
