#which is why i like AITAs generally

[padfootastic]

ok not to sound like a terrible human but. why are the tumblr AITAs so damned boring. literally can be summed up as either social anxiety or ignorance. just. where is the spice. the excitement. the nasty. why are people so damned earnest. am i just ruined by reddit n twitter or?

[gaogaigoatgrrl]

i hope that in the wake of predstrogen/predesterone's back-to-back deletion we don't forget about the ongoing building wave of seemingly organic transmisogyny from the userbase leading up to it, some of which may or may not have been the result of terf psyops but all of which certainly wouldn't have been possible without the eager participation of a significant proportion of users, including but probably not limited to:

the entire concept of transandrophobia (if this offends you, think long and hard about why you want so badly for it to be real)

the ongoing backlash against the terms tme and tma (if they offend you, think long and hard about why they might have practical value to trans women and people with similar social positionality)

the ongoing trend of trans women's blogs getting flagged on the flimsiest of pretenses and generally receiving far more scrutiny for "adult content" than anyone else's

the seeming unironic revival of "baeddel" as a slur for outspoken trans women, on the basis of a long-dead clique that, ironically enough, self-applied the long-dead (and tbf, etymologically questionable) slur from the middle ages to reclaim it

the entire "trans women should be fucking trans men instead of complaining about transmisogyny" genre of post

the backlash when tgirls finally started calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the copypasted anons sent to several trans women (many of whom were lesbians) sexually harassing them and threatening corrective rape for calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the backlash when tgirls called the aforementioned bullshit sexual harassment

the expansion of flexible queer label use (which to be clear, i am generally all for) to include "afab trans women", muddying the waters and making transmisogyny harder to articulate

the backlash when tgirls started calling out the aforementioned bullshit

the aita incident in which a trans woman described a cis woman claiming to be a trans woman in a group chat and giving other trans women terrible medical advice based on no actual qualifications or experience, and got a huge backlash for warning them about the aforementioned bullshit despite the stakes of, you know, following terrible medical advice

everything from the sixth point onward happened within the past... week? two weeks? my sense of time is a bit fuzzy. who knows what the rest of this week has in store?

people on this website are so incredibly hostile to trans women even being able to name our own oppression, let alone resist it in any concrete way. and i know it's not just this website. don't you get tired of the crab bucket bullshit? holy fucking shit.

like, i've been lucky, i've overwhelmingly managed to dodge it (probably on account of frankly being a pretty boring and inconsistent poster). this time last year, i was actually bored that i didn't have anons in my inbox to argue with. but i've seen it happen to so many other women now, it's absurd. even if it never hits you personally, you can never shake the awareness that it's happening to so many of the cool girls on here, people you like and whose posts you laugh at and who you look up to. they just kinda seem to drop like flies over time. don't you get tired?

😴😴😴 (to find later) AITA for putting sleeping pills in my boyfriend's drinks without him knowing?

I know this sounds absolutely awful, but please bear with me.

Basically, me (27 m) and my boyfriend (26 m) have been living together for around five years, meaning we usually also sleep together. Or at least we try, since my BF suffers from terrible insomnia and reoccurring nightmares so bad sometimes he wakes up into a full on anxiety attack. He does go to therapy and has prescribed sleeping pills, but he hates taking them because he's always afraid that when he does fall asleep he's just going to have nightmares, (which also just makes him avoid sleeping in general even not including his insomnia).

Usually I try to help him by staying up with him, watching his favorite show while cozied up on the couch under a bunch of blankets and with a hot coco, or we do something else that he likes and helps him relax. I really don't mind, I love him and I love spending time with him. However, it used to be that he would fall asleep at around 3-4 AM, but as time went on he started staying up longer and longer, until at a certain point I literally had to start leaving for work in the morning while he still hadn't gotten any sleep.

This was an issue for two reasons: 1. Obviously, without me there he felt even less comfortable and had an even harder time falling asleep, sometimes staying up for even 48 hours (or maybe more, I'm not sure) just to wait for me to come back home so I could help him unwind again. 2. He actually started lying to me about sleeping while I wasn't home, so that I would go to sleep normally and let him stay awake because "he wasn't tired" even though I could clearly tell he was.

That's when I started getting seriously concerned and questioning him about how much he actually sleeps, especially since I could see it was affecting him more and more both mentally and physically. He was avoidant about the topic but I pleaded with him to talk to his therapist about it, to try and find anything else to help him. Apparently his therapist just told him to keep using his sleeping pills to help with the insomnia, and if they're not working she'll look into prescribing him stronger ones. Yet despite that he still insists on not taking them and just going to bed normally even though it's clearly not working.

To clarify: as far as I'm aware, he has no negative side-effects from these sleeping pills, he's never complained about feeling any pain or feeling worse after taking them or anything like that. Literally he only doesn't want to take them because he's just that afraid of going to sleep.

That's why whenever we stay up nowadays, I always add a small dose to his cup of coco, which thankfully has a strong enough taste to cover the pills (I've tried a small bit myself and couldn't tell a difference). Since I started doing that, he's been regularly falling asleep before 2AM and even though the nightmares still sometimes wake him up or make him feel a bit tired in the morning, overall he's been doing much better.

Still, I do feel bad about putting stuff in his drinks without his knowledge even if it's for his own good. I really wonder if I should stop, but I'm really scared that if I do, he'll start spiralling again. I want to help him and be there for him but I've already tried talking about it and it never worked. So, AITA?

What are these acronyms?

[vaspider]

It seems like you might be having a bad day? That AITA post was a really lighthearted promo and faux links ala Rick Rolls are an established part of internet sillies. It wasn’t malicious and the subject they linked to is free.

You’re generally a more level headed person so I was surprised to see how aggressive you got. But based on your reaction the author is getting doxxed which does feel unfair given the nature of the post.

Okay, no. Absolutely not.

First of all: This is the last thing I'm saying about that post. Anybody trying to continue this conversation with me in any way after this response will be blocked.

We're not doing that nonsense up there. We're not doing the "Spider is responsible for someone else's behavior" thing. I've been very, very clear that I don't endorse harassment or doxxing, and I've also been very clear that I'm not responsible for what other people do. Saying, "I don't like deceptive links, and this has done the opposite of interesting me, it's upset me and made me not want to read this; heads-up, y'all, this isn't a legit AITA post," which is all I ever said, really, isn't in any way an incitement of doxxing or harassment, and it's absolutely shitty of you to try to lay that at my feet.

Are deceptive links (commonly called "RickRolls" even when they don't link to the Rick Astley video) a fun and hilarious part of internet culture? Not really, actually. Most links on the internet that don't lead to where they say they lead aren't fun and cheerful little "memes" (the post wasn't a meme, but we'll use the word the OP used) inviting people to read a free queer book: they're usually part of social engineering phishing campaigns.

What makes the original RickRoll sometimes acceptable is a) the fact that you immediately know you've been "got" because an Original RickRoll is unmistakable after the first time you experience it, b) the link serves as a punchline to a specific kind of internet joke, usually along the lines of "click this link for news that seems too good to be true," which reinforces the idea that you have to be careful about believing what you see online, and c) it's unique. It actually isn't funny, cute, or cool to put deceptive links up online, with the possible exception of a well-executed Original RickRoll. That's the entire point of why Original RickRolls work.

Deceptive linking is a behavior that is illegal in some jurisdictions & is also grounds for banning from a lot of sites, including, wait for it:

Deceptive or Fraudulent Links. Don't post deceptive or fraudulent links in your posts. This includes giving links misleading descriptions, putting the wrong “source” field in a post, setting misleading click-through links on images, or embedding links to interstitial or pop-up ads.

Tumblr.

Got that? It's actually against the fucking rules here. It's really, really clearly written in Tumblr's User Guidelines section of the Terms of Service. You know, the rules everybody is supposed to be following to be here?

So, no, I'm not "having a bad day," except that people keep being asshats to me for saying, "I don't think it's cool that you did this thing (that breaks the ToS on the site and uses a technique commonly used for spearphishing) to promote your book, actually," doubling down on it by trying to shame me by using the fact that it's a queer book as an emotional lever, and now I've got this ask both trying to make me responsible for other people's behavior and acting like me saying "hey, this isn't cool, and no, that response isn't cool either," and then blocking the person and moving on with my life is somehow not "levelheaded."

tl;dr:

Deceptive linking is against TOS, actually.

I'm not responsible for other people's bad behavior. I did not invite or incite that behavior. I just said "this thing you did isn't okay."

I have expressly disavowed doxxing and harassment for years, both because it's shit and because I've been a repeat victim of it.

How dare you, actually.

I blocked the OP after my second response. I'm not going to talk about this anymore. Anyone sending me any further asks about the subject whatsoever or attempting to continue this conversation with me in any way will simply be blocked.

Fuck's sake.

I have been violently gripped with the idea of a CODxAC Crossover, where Ghost and the 141 stumbling across an Isu facility. They spread out to search the ruins and Ghost ends up in a vast open room containing pods. There are hundreds of them in neat rows, but only one seem to contain something. Infant twins bearing the numbers 16 and 17 on their right and left shoulder respectively. On the side of the pod there is some text carved into the metal itself. '16=Clay 17=Desmond. TRUST ONLY 141'. Reading it gives Ghost a deep chill. Before he can think further on it, the pod starts to empty and open. The kids open their eyes and stare at him with eyes he swears glow, but in a blink it's gone. Must have been his imagination. The place suddenly rumbles and his radio comes to life.

"Ghost, get out of there! Think we might have activated a self destruct sequence!"

Before he can think too hard about it, Ghost grabs the kids and starts running while chunks of the ceiling falls down around him. Strangely enough the kids don't make any noise at the rough treatment or the violent shaking and noise.

---------

So yeah, thanks to Saberamane, i have gotten into reading CoD fanfics. XD I remembered your fic on it and then i was just violently gripped with the image of a baby Desmond reaching his little hands up at Ghost and when he holds Desmond up to his face, the baby just places his hands on the mask and stares at it while smiling. Anytime anyone, besides 141, tries to take Desmond or Clay they start to fuss and/or scream bloody murder, so the gangs kinda stuck baby sitting. Well, more like Ghost with Soap's help. Price is busy trying to figure out why the General(idk enough about the lore, so unnamed General it is XD) is really interested in taking the kids. They lied about them being found inside the pods and said they found the dead body of a woman with the kids, so the interest in them is strange. Plus the ominous message written in the pod seems important. Ghost hates him, gets a strange sense of... Red??? from him.

So yeah, another hyperfixation it is. XD

If this is the reboot, he started as Lieutenant General and ends up as a General. In the OG though, Shepherd was Lieutenant General until his death.

We can set it up that Desmond and Clay are testtube babies Elijah created but Abstergo was hot on his tail so he ‘tipped off’ 141 of the location and lying of its connection to a secret terrorist organization.

Well…

It wasn’t necessary a lie because 141 is trying to find the Brotherhood. In the eyes of the world, the Brotherhood is a terrorist organization and 141 is tasked with finding their operations and stopping them.

In this one, Shepherd could either be a Templar, an ally of the Templar or (use the setup of The Shadow’s Endgame) a disillusioned Assassin gone rogue.

He doesn’t immediately clocked the babies Ghost took in as Desmond and Clay. Hell, Ghost knows well enough not to officially call them Desmond and Clay, instead going nicknames like ‘D’ and ‘C’. Soap and Gaz had been calling them different names to try and find out their actual names and they haven’t hit any jackpot yet.

Shepherd is interested in taking in the kids because he learned that the facility they attacked (which was nearby the supposed village that got wiped out during the operation) was Elijah’s secret lab.

Although they all believe Elijah to be dead so the place is actually for an unknown ‘third party’.

Abstergo believed that person is the current Sage, having awakened Aita’s memories after Elijah’s death.

So the question becomes why did Elijah decide to entrust Desmond and Clay to 141?

Because he was planning to infiltrate 141 later on.

As the new recruit of 141: Gary "Roach" Sanderson

[aitadjcrazytimes]

It's been a good run

But it's time to bring this to a close!

The saga is over, C, T and I are all together. T and I are in the swing of it, C approves as much as it is possible for him to approve of anything, everyone knows about the blog and is chill.

C is back at his rightful place of walking his sister down the aisle.

I'm getting everything I want, and we're all free to make each other miserable until the day we die.

I'm not going to be updating this blog anymore! Nobody else involved with the situation will be submitting any more AITA posts either, because they are either not on tumblr or agreed it would be annoying.

I will say that there is some stuff on here that I've alluded to that isn't necessarily 100% in the spirit of things, so I've included some stuff below the cut for the folks who have caught onto that. I would not suggest reading it if you like how all of this played out and want to keep it that way. I know that's incredibly vague, but I'm not sure how to phrase it without making it weird?

Thank you all for listening and talking to me over the past few days! That's where I'm leaving it!

...

...

...

...Is everyone who wants to keep believing in the disaster polycule gone? Yes? OK!

So, this was fake. I made up the whole thing. TK and C and T and everyone else are fictional characters. Did I lie? Yes. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Q: All of it? Even the og AITA post? The followup AITA post? The screenshots?

A: All of it.

Q: Wh... Why did you do this...?

A: Well, first this all started as a Red vs Blue fanfic for the ship Chexer (Church/Tex/Tucker)-

It started as a fanfic for Chexer. However, I was already working on a different fanfic for RVB that was totalling about 15k words at this point (+ at least 90k to go), and I knew I would never have the time or energy to write this one. I thought: yknow. this would be really funny as an aita post.

Q: It was a fanfic of a Halo fanfic series.

A: Yep!

So, I submitted Tucker's perspective. I did not expect for it to get more than maybe 100 notes at most. I totally thought someone would call it out right away.

The funny part is, if I'd dedicated all this energy to a fic instead of this blog, I'd probably have about 15-20 thousand words of fic already, but whatever, can't ruin my personal day!

Also, I wanted to see how many people would figure it out/how long it would take for it to become too obvious that this was a fandom thing. I was dropping names and RvB lore since the beginning. A few people did figure it out, and I DMed them in private to let them know.

Q: But why make the blog then?

A: Because I love to lie and be a nuisance to the general populace! <3

It was always my intent to wait until Carolina's perspective got posted (i am honestly still shocked i got away with "Carey/Georgia/West Virginia/Alabama/Miss Louisiana 1988"), let it simmer for about a day, then come clean. Which is what I'm doing now!

The reason I'm coming clean now instead of dragging it out is because I don't want anyone to feel stupid or like they got duped. You're not stupid! You were a part of this story! This was, as one anon said, a creative writing project. It was a collaboration! Thank you so much for helping me!

That said, I'm sorry to anyone that finds this disappointing! I had a blast doing this, but I will not be doing it again. I have gotten my fill. I have had my taste of being an influencer, and now I can go on with my life without ever feeling like I need to start a youtube channel.

Q: How did you keep up with a consistent timeline?

A: I didn't, especially at first. But in my time as a liar who lies about things, I have found that usually people are willing to believe you when you say "yeah, i lied about that".

Q: Wait, what about the thing with your kid?

A: Yeah, I fucked up on this one. In the other fic I was/am writing, Tucker was around 33. So, when I was saying what Junior's age was, I subtracted it from 33 and got 18. It wasn't until I was showing my partner the blog and they said "Wait, he had his kid at 13??????" that I realized I had fucked up. Oops!

Q: Was it really ALL fake?

A: For the most part. I will say that I did actually drop chocolate cake all over my tits that one time and had to shower by myself like a fucking loser. That one was true. I did also get my nails done for the first time ever, which did actually affect my typing. And I am in a band (but so is Tucker, canonically)! There are a few other things as well, but I don't want to list all of them.

Q: DID you ever read homestuck?

A: Nope. And I never will.

Even the title, though I will say that the title I came up with was "Leonard "Alpha Bitch" Church's Decidedly Not Lo-Fi Beats to Get Nasty and Get Clean To: The Movie"

Q: So there was never a combination sex/bathtime playlist?

A: Maybe! But perhaps more accurately: the combination sex/bathtime playlist was inside of you all along. You can make it. There are only three songs on there that are canon to the lore of this blog. Those are No Children by The Mountain Goats, Take It Out On Me by Thousand Foot Krutch, and one unknown song from the album Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV by Coheed and Cambria (Yep, the call was coming from inside the house, I gave Church my music taste). I had intended this to be Wake Up, but it's out of my hands now. The rest is yours to fill in.

Q: What's your main blog, so I can follow you?

A: Hi, this is aitadjcrazytimes. You're not getting that.

Q: Your AO3 handle?

A: Nope, not that either.

You will never find me. And that's the way I want it. You will see me in every blog. Every new follower. Every stranger you meet on the street. You will look into your discord kitten's eyes, and you will absently wonder if he was the one behind aitadjcrazytimes. And you will never know for certain.

Q: But-

A: Let me live on in your memory. The only person who knows both who I am and the fact that I did this is my partner, who is not into RvB or commonly on tumblr. I am not a RvB blog. I am not a writing blog. I am a nobody on the fringes of tumblr society who's been here long enough to know how to remain in the shadows.

And, even if you do manage to find me, against all odds:

No one will ever believe you.

I am closing my askbox. I am also closing my messages. If you have anything to say to Tucker or Me (tumblr user aitadjcrazytimes), you are welcome to do so in the replies or reblogs, but you will not be receiving an answer. I'll keep this blog up for anyone that wants to go through after the fact and do a deep dive or what have you.

Thanks to everyone who made this into the wild ride it was! Live long and get fucked or whatever! Xoxo <3

summary: Barça players and talented footballers. Souls meet and sparks fly. But there's always a twist when it comes to love isn't there?

pairing: Ferran Torres x Gonzalez!Reader

warnings: cursing, slight age gap, angst

next part

Football runs in the family they say. Pedri Gonzalez was one of the new star boys of this generation. No one cares about his family or past, they just acknowledge the present.

A few knew that he had a sister. She called herself 'the forgotten child'. No one knew that she was a barça femeni player. Because simply no one cares about women's football.

The talent she had only bloomed in La Masia. The football dream academy. She was there alongside many other ladies that are well known. Aitana Bonmati and Salma Paralluelo were two of the players she played with when she was younger, but they got the chance to play for the first team before her, which only motivated her to push herself more, now reserving a spot in the starting line up of the women's team.

So there she was now, with the most g/a in Liga F, and the star of her team. Still no one knew her blood relations with the star boy Pedri, as she preferred to have her own name, rather than be hidden in the shadows of her twin.

What she didn't know was that she had some admirers from the men's team. She knew all of the players of course, unlike others she watched men's football and followed the barça men team. She admired the youngsters, got inspired by the experts, and found motivations in players who have seemed to come back from the death. The Shark Ferran Torres.

The number 7 has caught her attention after seeing the change in his mentality from the previous season to the current one. He seemed more stable and determined to prove others wrong, just like she did.

She didn't know that he secretly praised her, and watched her highlights through out the years. He began watching the women's team's matches because of her. He even learned some stuff from her, making him appreciate her even more, without anyone knowing.

No one needed to know that half the reason behind his change of mentality, was a 20 year old lady who played football and inspired him more than anyone else could.

He didn't know she was the twin of his best friend. Which is what causes the twist in their futures.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"y/n you are the star of your team, people knowing about you being my twin now isn't gonna change anything" Pedri said, annoyed by the thoughts his sister had.

"who told you so Pedro? I prefer to stay like this than get more attention for being your sister" she rolled her eyes and flopped on the couch next to Fernando, who seemed unbothered while he watched a movie and ate some popcorn.

"god I wanna know who put these thoughts in your head. I miss going out with you" he let out a sigh, sitting next to her on the couch

y/n shook her head and focused on the movie that was being played.

"how about you meet my best friends? you literally don't have any social skills or friends" he complained making her roll her eyes

"Aita is my friend" she shrugged, knowing this was partially a lie. they were just teammates, not the type to go out on free days

"yeah and Ronaldo is better than Messi. you know she's not your friend" he rolled his eyes

"why are you so bothered anyways?" she asked, stealing some popcorn from Fer, making him hit her hand.

"you may not notice it now, but this will slowly destroy your mental health later on. you should go out and meet some new people. look beyond football and enjoy your free days" Pedri said.

He was slowly getting in her head, and she knew he was right. She let out a sigh and nodded her head.

"I'll think about it. how about I beat your ass in fifa now?" she smirked, making him gasp jokily.

"yeah as if you can do that" he scoffed, turning Fer's movie off to turn his PS5

"hey what the fuck?" Fernando said, making them laugh. Fer shook his head and glanced on his phone before getting up.

"mom texted she needs some help at home, I'm gonna go now" he said, taking his stuff and walking out of Pedri's apartment.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

"haha! that's 3-1 to me. you're such a loser" y/n slapped the back of Pedri's head, making him glare at her

"whatever I let you win anyways" he shrugged, making her laugh

they were interrupted by a knock on the door of the apartment. y/n looked at Pedri, who shrugged and got up to open the door.

She turned off the PS5 and put the movie back on, before Pedri walked awkwardly to the room. y/n stood up confused, before someone appeared behind Pedri.

"y/n, this Ferran. Ferran, y/n..my sister"

GRAAAHHHH I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THE MINECRAFT MOVIE I HAVE TO I HAVE TO!!!

(Small disclaimer: I don't blame any of the underpaid and overworked writers & animators. They deserved better than this slop, I'm sure of it.

like the general public, I too despise the trailer. Let me just start with the trailer itself.

1.) Love how you can tell where the fucking green screen is. /sarc. Also the line "This guy is such a toolbag" they give her feels not only millennial, but fucking stupid jesus christ. You could've made a block joke there like. "...This guy is such a blockhead." "Yeah everything's made of blocks here." Or something AT LEAST TRYYY GUYYYSSS...

2.) The artstyle I know everyone talks about it but the FUCKING ARTSTYLE OH MY GOOODDDD IM DYING why has literally no one talked about the wolf though LIKE???

why is the wolf's body literally discord shaped. Why is Built like That. What the fact did they do to you??? Like, I just... I hate the combination of the realism and the blocks like??? JUST MAKE IT FULLY BLOVKY???? WHAT THE FUCK IS THIIIISSSSS GOD it's so fucking uncanny I hate it. I hate it so.

3.) Love the whitewashed Steve /sarc. Fr though, are we surprised? I hate that Jack Black of all people is playing him like guys that was a joke people was making. Are y'all able to understand jokes? Or understand what a pos Jack Black is? Jesus fuck gamers he's not only ableist (supports Autism Speaks) but a zionist as well. But besides that Steve feels like. Hold on.

Look at Steve. If he actually existed in the real world, I have a feeling he would be muscular (because he mines, builds, + farms like all day), and probably somewhere around his 20's-30's. You're telling me that Jack Black, an actor + musician who's in his 50's. Like, this isn't to say that Steve wouldn't have some tummy fat at all, he probably would! But like... Jack Black just doesn't... feel like Steve at all. Jack Black is like the exact opposite.

There's just like this... massive, icky vibe about the entire trailer that makes me hate it. I think it's a mixture of the live action "isekai" shit with the like... blocky textures that makes everything uncanny and gross to look at. And it feels like rather than taking the concept and saying "Hey, since the experience is so varied, let's take multiple characters and storylines and take proper care of each to tell a different story of the same game" (like Fallout the Show) they're just like, "Eh... I mean... I'm sure the Isekai trope will work again."

Not only that, but like over all it feels like rather than looking and seeing this game and being able to "laugh with" Minecraft fans (side note: I wouldn't mind Minecraft being comedic, admittedly, a block world is a fucking ridiculous concept. But, I'd still say keep the same sentiment that the game has which is, "You can build your own version of the world from the ground up, you are the master of your destiny") they're looking at it like that one mom from that AITA post and saying, "This is ridiculous and childish. Why do you like this? It's stupid. It's just some game about blocks."

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend that fans can't be picky about videogame movies/tv shows at all. Because I enjoyed the Mario movie, despite some fans hatred of it. I can't ignore the fact that videogame movies tend to be 50/50 on how fans will react to them. But still, really? This is what you guys have to show after 10 years? This is what we get? It feels like a punch in the gut, dude. I hate so much. I can't stop thinking about it.

(OOC: have fun guys)

AITA for having my Drampa use Hyper Voice on a child?

Okay now I know this sounds bad, but I think I’m justified in this situation.

My (43m) son (18m) caught a kid (allegedly 9m) breaking into his apartment and stealing food. The kid didn’t show up on any security footage and was generally weirding my son out. He left him alone after a while, but at like 9 pm, the kid showed up on MY property and I was worried he’d try breaking and entering into MY house. Theft has always been a fear of mine so I might not have been thinking clearly.

My Gardevoir was freaking out about the kid too which made me suspicious that maybe the kid is a Pokémon, but then Gardevoir signaled to me that he thought the kid was a ghost or a ghost type. To me, that made sense as to why he didn’t show up on my son’s security system footage.

I asked him if he was a ghost, to which he told me no and also told me to “try and injure [him]” to find out for myself.

A Hyper Voice from a Drampa would not kill a 9 year old child, the worst it would do is hurt their ears, so I thought, I can use my Drampa to confirm that this kid is or isn’t a ghost. If the kid is a ghost, nothing happens, and if the kid isn’t a ghost, there’s no permanent damage.

The kid *was* affected by Hyper Voice and then transformed into some type of creature and ran off into the woods, which freaked ME out, but my son is VERY upset with me and says I’m TA.

[smoshblr-aita]

submitted by: anon AITA for being a bad friend? So a few years ago at uni I (22 [19 in this story],f) made this friend let’s call her Violet. She was the first friend I made at uni because it was during covid so we both linked up via the course facebook group beforehand and started texting, so when we actually met up at uni (when they let us onto campus) we already knew each other pretty well. The issue started during the last year of uni, we were also living together (+2 other people) so we saw each other every day. Well we both volunteered to help out with the uni’s theatre production- her on the art side and me with the sound system- she joined the crew before i did so i was really scared when i came i wouldn’t fit in/everyone would know each other but thankfully everyone was super nice and i quickly made some friends too!! Well that didnt last long because a few days later i received a longgg text from Violet detailing how i was a bad friend and how i’ve always got my ‘other friends’ in reference to the crew, how she feels like she’s invading. Now i get it, I’m pretty social so maybe seeing a close friend suddenly be somewhat close to other people feels like a slap cause you’re like ‘I knew them first!! what is this?!’ but the truth is i wasn’t purposely trying to exclude or be bad to anyone. i had to talk to some people on set who were helping with sound and a lot with the producer so yes i was talking to other people & being friendly but it wasn’t like i was trying to make new best friends. In her text she mentioned how I’m always a priority to her but she never is to me, and how I only care for her when I have no one else, which hurt a lot to hear I will not lie. I said sorry a billion times but also that she hurt me too and we started drifting apart. A few days later the producer walked up to me on set and was like ‘can I ask you a personal question?’ and i was like ‘…yes?’ and she asked why i was friends with Violet, because apparently she’d been super hard to work with this whole time, replied to texts passive-aggressively, and was just generally rude when it came to communication. She showed me some of their texts and i was SHOCKED. Things along the lines of ‘So you want me to change it :)) Again :))’ or ‘Sure I have time I’m not overworked :))’. Listen i get it okay sets are stressful and you’re not gonna like everyone u work with but some of the ways she referred to crew members made me feel like i didnt really know her at all.. so then I spiralled into- was she rude to these people because i was nice to them? is this how she expressed feeling left out like she mentioned in her text? and more importantly- am I really a bad friend? so, AITA? (it’s been a few years since and we don't talk but she recently reached out to meet up since she's visiting my town, and I don’t know if I should. thoughts?)

Reality check of the unspecified time period

So this happened last weekend.

Mom makes food, starts yelling for Dad to help her with something: [NAME NAME NAME NAME NAME]

Me, rattled by the yelling at him: Hey I’m not doing anything. Can I help?

Mom: Uh… um… yes!

Me: Okay, what can I do?

Mom: You can… you uh… well…

Me: ?

Mom:

Mom:

Me: I need to know what you need help with.

Mom: You know I have trouble with my words sometimes.

Me: Yes, but I need some general instruction.

Mom: I keep telling you, you need to learn to accommodate my weird brain.

Friends who struggle with speech, AITA?

I’ve been told I am all my life (which is probably why I’m so hair trigger twitchy when people call me ableist now for not accommodating something it’s not unusual to find off putting or strange.)

But in the moment I feel like I’m desperately trying to gently prompt, getting nowhere, and then being condemned when I finally get visibly irritated that she isn’t even trying. I keep asking her to hold up her hand for “stop” or “wait” to remind me the word trouble is upon her, so I’ll remember to be completely silent, but she acts like it’s an absurd request.

To me it’s not that I’m annoyed she takes a while, but that she won’t even so much as say “I can’t think of the word, wait.” Even nonverbally.

My dad takes her side and says “that’s how left handed people are.” Which sounds to me like an old wives tale but still leaves me thinking I must be the asshole, as even if left handedness isn’t a recognized neurodivergence they are both saying she has one.

AiTA? (Am I The Ableist?)

[verifying-gimmick-posts]

Can you verify @iwanttokillsupermario and see if they're hatred is real? As their blogs creation was at least from what I can tell AFTER (the very genuine) @iwanttohavesexwithsupermario which seems a bit suspicious however I'm not fully convinced that it isn't real

I am incredibly autistic - I have, through various careers and college certificate classes, experience in web archival research, independent investigation, business economics, and advertising / marketing, however I also have an exceptionally poor grasp on psychology, emotions, and the human condition. For this reason, I'm much better at demonstrating when false or misleading information is or isn't being shared and, if it is, why.

That being said, 15 minutes on each blog gives me the impression that @iwanttohavesexwithsupermario is much too personal and honest about the real-world effects of wanting to have sex with Super Mario, whereas @iwanttokillsupermario seems to moreso have a general, perhaps even healthy disdain towards bland, safe, mascot-type characters which is either intentionally or subconsciously being exasperated due to the inherent humor of managing a gimmick blog, especially in a space where multiple adjacent blogs interact with you.

To be more specific: I doubt anyone making an absurd sexual statement just for the inherent humor of it, with zero genuine attraction, would continue to post about it when a large amount of their followers become r/AITA commenters reacting to a small argument over a glass of fancy wine being spilled with petitions for divorce. Obviously whatever attraction is being felt is being exasperated, heavily even, for comedic purposes.

Likewise, I doubt anyone who holds a genuine, unhealthy hatred towards a fictional character could manage a 100% serious blog solely dedicated to said hatred on the fandom epicenter of the internet without becoming a terrorist.

Rules

For now, these match up to r/AmITheAsshole's rules, except for where they do not apply to Tumblr, except rules 13 and 14, which everyone should familiarize themselves with.

Be Civil Attack ideas, not people. The purpose of this blog is to determine and explain who is in the wrong, not to eviscerate anyone. Treat others with respect while helping them grow through outside perspectives. Derogatory or dehumanizing language, including insults, violate this rule. This rule applies to EVERYONE, even those not on Tumblr. Don't insult others or get into spats in the comments. Be respectful. Be nice. Don't be an asshole

Accept Your Judgment This blog is here for the submitter to discover what everyone else thinks of the ethics or mores of a situation. It is not here to draw people into an argument you want to have, or to defend your position. If people start saying you were the asshole, do not take that as an invitation to debate them on the subject… accept the judgment and move on. If you have valid reason to think a commenter needs more information or misunderstood the facts of the conflict, you may give new information.

No Violence Don't even mention violence. If your post or comment references violence, don't share it here. Any hint, mention, euphemism or suggestion of violence falls under this rule and isn't allowed. Comments and even jokes about violence are not tolerated. Encouraging self-harm, suicide, "bad karma," property damage, food tampering, or anything that wishes mental or physical pain on anyone is strictly prohibited.

How To Post The TITLE of your submission must begin with the acronym AITA or WIBTA (would I be the asshole?), then a description of the situation. All submissions must be titled. Posts should be limited to 3000 characters. Paragraphs are good; block text walls are bad. Format and punctuate your post reasonably. Be clear and concise. Don't link to screenshots or other posts. If you can't explain yourself in one ask, without using external text pages, it does not belong here.

Post Interpersonal Conflicts Posts should be descriptions of recent interpersonal conflicts. Describe both sides in detail. Make it clear why you may be "the asshole." Submissions must contain a real-life conflict between you and at least one other person. They should not be about feelings, opinions, or desires. If your conflict is with a larger demographic, an animal, someone online, a business, or a third party who’s irrelevant to the main question but thought what you did sucked, your submission will be deleted.

No Shitposts Posts must be truthful and presented as fairly and accurately as possible. Posts must be written entirely by you and from your own point of view. Do not post on behalf of others, or from the point of view of another person in the story. This is not a humor blog. This isn't a blog for copypastas, satire, overly embellished stories, AI generated content, or creative writing exercises. Posts about fictional characters should be sent to @aita-blorbos.

Do Not Ask For Advice This is NOT an advice blog. All submissions that ask for advice (instead of or in addition to judgment) will not be posted. This blog is for arbitration. You may include advice when you make your comments, but remember that your primary objective in commenting is to assign blame and pass judgment.

Updates and META posts are restricted. Updates should be given in the REBLOGS of a post. Any ask that is not an AITA or a direct question about blog moderation will be deleted.

No Partings/Relationship/Sex/Reproductive Anatomy Posts AITA is not a relationship blog. We do not allow the following types of posts: - AITA for ghosting/cutting/reducing/denying contact with anyone (or not) - AITA for liking/pursuing/dating/breaking up with someone (or not) - AITA for doing a sexual act (or not) - Reproductive decisions (including adopting/fostering children & delivery room conflicts) - Posts about cheating-including "exposing" someone's cheating (or not). Or similar conflicts that only exist in romantic or sexual relationships.

This Is Not A Debate Blog If judgment is primarily motivated by whether commenters agree with your stance on a broad issue it is not appropriate for this sub. This includes anything from politically motivated conflicts to innocuous issues like if cake is better than pie. If you're ultimately asking if it is okay to kick someone off your team for their sexual identity, stop talking to your friend because they vape, or any similar debate, your submission will not be posted.

No Revenge Stories There are many places for sharing tales of revenge—this is not one of them. This is a blog for providing feedback on interpersonal conflict, not for endorsing how you escalate a conflict. If you're here to tell us how you punished someone who totally had it coming, you're probably breaking this rule.

No Medical Conflicts AITA is a platform for moral judgement, not medical advice. The life and death consequences of many medical conflicts are well outside of Tumblr's paygrade. We do not allow posts where the central conflict is transmitting or contracting any communicable disease, or undergoing any kind of medical procedure.

Asks Are For AITAs Or Questions We mean it. Any ask that is not an AITA, a question for the mods, or an answer to a previously asked question will be deleted. This is not a discourse blog and we are not having discussions with you.

Make Your Submissions Accessible This means no typing quirks, no colored text, no small text, no non-standard fonts, no capslock, and no images without image descriptions. (If you include an image without alt text or a description, we will add a description for you, but it will reduce our workload by a lot to write one yourself. As with all things, moderation is key--some colored/small text or all-caps is fine, but if it's excessive then your submission will not be posted.

AITA for telling a friend about a job I know for certain is terrible?

I have a degree in a creative field of work. Years ago I applied for a job in a city out of state, for a small business. I lowballed on the expected salary because I was desperate to get the job and get established before I moved. I figured once I got my apartment squared away I could look for a better, higher paying job.

Well, I got the job, and it turns out I actually really enjoyed working there. It was a pleasant work environment, I had cool coworkers, the boss was understanding and generous. So I stayed despite the low pay. I did get yearly raises, but even with those I was still below the average salary for my position.

That all changed earlier this year, when the old boss decided to sell the business due to health reasons. The new bosses made their fortune in a completely different industry, and knew nothing about our industry. They are in way over their heads.

They don’t fill out orders correctly. They take on orders that are physically impossible and expect us to do them anyway. They buy expensive new machines, don’t train us on them, and immediately start taking huge orders for them when we haven’t ironed on the kinks. We can’t focus on any complex orders because they’re constantly making us switch gears to personal projects, or forgotten orders, or different huge rush orders. The wife has a habit of rearranging our spaces and messing them all up, sometimes when we’re still in them trying to finish projects. They switched to a new shop management system that is counterintuitive and has too many moving parts and as a result mistakes have been piling up. Did I mention I was the only person in my particular department? Because I am.

It got to the point where I was having breakdowns every day. I have reached the point of total burnout. I finally decided enough was enough and turned in my two weeks’ notice plus however long it takes to train someone new.

Well, my “two weeks plus whatever it takes to train the newbie” has turned into six weeks and counting. They didn’t realize how cheap a date I was. They’ve interviewed people, but they’re all asking for twice the salary they’re offering. Which, good for them, get that scratch, but it means I’m languishing here, still suffering.

Now here is where I feel I MBTA. I have a Facebook friend, an acquaintance I met on another creative project, asking around for any local jobs in (creative field). He also lost his job recently, so he’s pretty hard up. I told him about the position opening up. I did not give him any details why I was leaving, or the pay, or the clusterfuck environment.

I feel like I’m leading him into a trap. But I’m so desperate to leave. I don’t want to leave without a replacement in place, because I like all my coworkers and without that one department the whole business will go belly up and they’ll all be out a job.

Am I leading him into a trap? AITA?

(OC)

AITA for generally just being odd and having fun with people’s discomfort?

So, I (undead M) think I’m a good guy. I live in a highschool storage room, unused for generations, and anyone who’s gone to highschool knows that highschool kids get pretty desperate. I have…sources. Connections. I know people who know people who know people. So I run a little business in the school.

For context, I’m a ghost. None of the students know when I died, and all I know is that it was before they outlawed resurrection. But ghost or not ghost, I have wants, you know? A guy’s gotta - well, not live, but have fun. So I’ve made a name for myself as The Guy You Go To. Basically, kids want something, or want something done, they come to me. If they want their grade changed, they come to me. If they want an essay written for a class they hate, they come to me. It doesn’t even have to be for school. I don’t discriminate. I only have two rules, and they haven’t been broken once:

1. Do not ask for something to harm, either yourself or someone else. I will refuse.

2. Do not try to change the deal after I’ve set it. I know more than you think I know, and I know what you are and aren’t capable of doing.

What are these deals, I hear you ask? Someone asks me for something, I ask for something in return. The things I ask for vary. It depends on what I’m being asked of, and what I’m feeling at the time. One time, a siren (16F) asked for a piece of machinery she needed to build a wheelchair. She was building it for her friend, which I can appreciate, and she hadn’t done anything to piss me off in the past, so I just asked her for two apples and a sandwich - she could surprise me with the fillings. But a few weeks after that, this absolute asshole of a Were (17M I think) (I can’t remember the species, cat or fox maybe) wanted his report changed, so I asked him for a skull. Like I said, I know things people don’t know I know, so I knew he had access to a whole array of skulls, but that’s why I’m posting this here. I take delight in confusing and slightly scaring people. The siren I mentioned did not trust me, and I refused to explain why I wanted the sandwich simply because it was fun to watch her squirm. Sometimes I don’t ask for anything in return, just because it’s so fun to watch them try and figure out what I’m playing. AITA?

About the whole "William unknowingly siring a father with a much younger woman": still happens, but somehow Elijah finds the child, who is somehow alone, and decides to bring her with him, not knowing the child is actually is aunt (or uncle, I don't care about the baby's gender)

Then someone (assassins? Shaun and Becs? Gavin? William himself if he's still kicking? Templars again?) finds them. Tests are run. Results are... Interesting.

This is in reference to this idea with @clayykaczmarek

I kinda like the idea that the child stole something from Elijah while he was on the run, pretending to be dead.

Like Jason Todd level of trying to steal the wheels of Elijah’s stolen motorcycle and Elijah thought the child was too rude and annoying but… they were quick on their feet and Elijah needed a distraction so he can get inside the Abstergo facility he was targeting.

It all snowballed from there with Elijah having to take the child under his wing. He calls the child ‘Decoy’ because he’s a bit of an asshole with a chip on his shoulder but creates a new identity for the two of them anyway.

The child is young enough that it’s easy for them to pretend to be a boy or a girl and they don’t really have any preference. They go by the name of Claude or Claudia and Elijah thinks this is some sick joke the universe was poking him with. He has many fake names, many of which came from previous Sages of Aita but the child usually call him ‘Ei’.

We’ll throw the Assassins a bone and not have the Templar be the one to test them again.

What happened was that Elijah learned that the Brotherhood was making deals with a Sage.

The Sage of the Isu Loki of all things.

Aita himself didn’t like Loki and Elijah hated Isus in general so he infiltrated the Brotherhood to try and kill Loki himself.

He tried to go alone but that idiot followed him and they both got captured.

As he had planned.

There was no other reason why he would choose to use the old passcode that Desmond Miles had to confuse the Brotherhood enough and let him slip through their defenses after all.

He wanted to see just how weak the Brotherhood had become listening to Loki’s poison.

What he did not expect was learning the child he had taken under his wing was the offspring of his grandfather.

Both of them did not take that information in a good light considering how disappointed Elijah was with William Miles ever since.
