in case you need to hear this

workout because its good for your heart, lungs, releases endorphins, and you want to get stronger. not because it’ll make you skinny or make your body look a certain way.

wear sunscreen every day in order to protect yourself from easily preventable and deadly skin cancer, not with the goal of preventing aging (there is nothing wrong with aging or wrinkles; it is a natural part of life and reflection of the life you live).

eat more vegetables because you need the fiber to make you more regular, they help lower your risk of eye and digestive problems, and they help in nutrient re-uptake. not because eating only carbs is “bad” for you. you need a combination of carbs, fruit/veg, protein, fiber, fat, etc for a full balanced diet.

cut out dairy from your diet if it makes you shit your brains out every single time without fail, not because it will “make you fat”.

drink more water because, despite how annoying it is to be told “just drink water”, it does actually make you feel better if you’re anxious or your head hurts or you don’t have any energy. not because it’ll “flush out your immune system uwu” or it will make your skin clear.

drink green tea because its delicious, not because it’s a “natural detox”. ( “detoxes” aren’t real. your kidneys detoxify your blood for you)

not everything “natural” is automatically healthy for you. not everything “unnatural” is automatically unhealthy/dangerous

cutting out whole food groups and labeling them as “bad for you” in any form is restrictive. if you aren’t allergic to gluten, you don’t need to cut gluten from your diet in order to be healthy. if you were not specifically instructed by a doctor to go keto in order to aid treatment for a disease (such as cancer or epilepsy), you do not and should not go keto.

do “healthy” things because you deserve to live a long, healthy life. yes, you. your weight doesn’t matter and it has never mattered. you deserve to keep yourself safe.

#anti diet #anti diet culture #mental health #body neutrality #self care #self love #also note: this is not me saying that being physically healthy/without issue is the only thing a person needs to have value.#people who aren't healthy have value #disabled people have value #everyone has value regardless of their appearance/weight #thats the point #thoughts on diet culture while i am a bit high #listen to me im right

People who say "I don't like asoue bc it's formulaic" miss the point bc

-it starts as a formula, a cycle of the Baudelaires being abused and mistreated bc IT'S A CYCLE THAT THEY'RE STUCK IN!! A cycle of evil and ignorence. They're being tossed around by the world and they need to get out of the cycle themselves.

-the cycle: they go to a new guardian, led by Mr. Poe, who ignores the problems about the situation. Count Olaf is stalking them, trying to kill the Baudelaires and steal their fortune.

-as is the rules with poetry and writing, you have to repeat something a few times to mess around with the formula, which you see is changed as early as the Miserable Mill. There's a poetic quality to the repetition, as well as when and how it changes.

-as it goes on, you see their passiveness being increasingly replaced with action that culminates at the end of the Vile Village, where they run away. In doing so, they've cut off the "new guardian" element to the cycle.

-they're trying to save the Quagmires and figure things out on their own. But two crucial elements to their cycle haven't been broken: they still are trying to contact Mr. Poe and they are still being hunted by Count Olaf.

-in the Grim Grotto, they break Mr. Poe out of the cycle.

-in the first chapter of the Bad Beginning, Mr. Poe meets the children on Briny Beach to inform them of the death of their parents. They come with him.

-at the end of Grim Grotto, they meet him again at Briny Beach and refuse to come, choosing instead to listen to a mysterious stranger and coded message. They choose autonomy. They choose to try to learn and figure things out. Active, not passive.

-in the Penultimate Peril is an effort to cut ties with Count Olaf once and for all as well as obtaining roles from both sides of VFD.

-but they can't get rid of Olaf and they can't let him go. Bc the last part of the cycle needs to be permanently put to rest.

-YES; Olaf hunts them throughout every book. That's. The. Point.

-Olaf needed to DIE before they could leave the island in The End.

-Olaf needed to die before they could move on.

-Olaf's death cut the final current in their cycle, ending the formula and therefore ending the series. Cutting out all the "repetitive" elements of the series made it finally end.

-they broke the cycle. That's why they could be free.

UGH I have so many thoughts

One day I'll write up this theory more cohesiveness.

#a series of unfortunate events #asoue #averse #lemony snicket #yes this is just a straight up rant #but im so sick of ppl complaining abt the formula #THATS THE POINT #rant #one of these days ill say this in a cohesive manner lol

Okay listen I know we all love Malakai here and of course so do I but can we at least acknowledge that he did Amerie dirty before their breakup. Like he was struggling with his sexuality and thats totally valid but he did not handle it well and yea he did gaslight Amerie about it, he did give her the world's mixedest signals, he third wheeled her on their own date to the guy he was into, like Amerie isn't perfect by any means but can we at least all understand that he did not treat her okay

#like amerie gave him a whole list of things he did badly in their relationship and i still see ppl insist he did nothing wrong #he did #thats the point #of #yknow #three dimensional characters with flaws #hbh #heartbreak high #malakai mitchell #amerie wadia

The more people I hear talk about how hot president snow is the more faith I loose in humanity. Especially the people that only hate him because he killed another conventionally attractive white man (finnick)

#no bcs i agree tom blythe in a blonde wig is hot #and so is finnick #but how do you see these men #AND HAVE THE POINT FLY RIGHT OVER UR HEAD??#yes theyre hot #THATS THE POINT #it’s to manipulate you #snow is charming #he uses that to his advantage #finnick was SOLD as a child #because he was attractive #thg #the hunger games #hunger games #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #tbosbas

Why do people hate Sunday so much!!

GOOD QUESTION NONNIE. i'm going to go out on a limb here and say it's because aven is well liked by a lot of the fandom and sunday effectively psychologically tortured him. the problem is a lot of hsr fans are victims of the herrscher of media illiteracy, and have a really hard time grasping the reasoning behind a characters actions. while they may be morally reprehensible, they should be understandable - as is the case with sunday, who did all those things likely for the sake of robin. i don't think A LOT of people dislike him (because to be frank he is a very pretty character and very interesting and compelling) but the ones that do are unfortunately rather loud because thats the way it always is right. i am also extremely biased though because sunday is perfect and flawless and has done nothing wrong in his life ever.

#he is interesting BECAUSE he is flawed #thats the point #thank you for your question im here all week with ic and ooc opinions #𝐕𝐈. [ . . . ] answered /

I've been trying my absolute hardest to say next to nothing about tbb as a series this year for both my own peace of mind and my own (and frankly my friends) safety but what i can't be quiet on is people of all kinds but especially the usual culprits blaming Saw for Techs death when Saw was there for an actual mission for the rebellion and The Bad Batch were there because Crosshair explicitly chose not to leave with them when they gave him the chance.

Because all this blaming shifting just looks racist. Some folks are foaming at the mouth to be able to condemn a Black character for hell for an event that, frankly, had nothing to do with him in the slightest. Seeing people first blame the bad batch for "abandoning" Crosshair as if they didn't try multiple times to save his life in the finale of season 1 only for him to refuse EVERY TIME. He nearly drowned on Kamino and told omega to leave him. They were walking through the tube and he stopped. They were on the platform and he refused to go with them. Omega tried. The marauder was right there. He turned his back on them.

Crosshair made his choice but I'm firmly of the opinion that because he's being largely perceived as an edgy and hurt white man, the audience is denying his culpability and removing his agency as a character in that moment in order to extend a level of forgiveness that they absolutely will not give to any characters of color. They're shifting the blame to every nearby character because of weird racism and colorism that i don't feel like expanding upon here.

And rather than just travel the obvious line the authors have laid out, up to and including the fact that he does not have his chip because Rau and Corbett said so 7 times in one interview, rather than see that actions often have greater consequences than people expect or intend, they want to shift all of the blame to a Black man who were there for all of 30 seconds and who had his own goals he had to take care of because he had his own people to take care of. At no point was Saw obligated to stop his entire mission for the bad batch. He was trying to fight the empire. They were trying to save their brother. It sucks but Saw really didnt need to stop. Why was Saw obligated to change his plans for them? Why couldn't they change their plans for the rebellion?

This fandom is too comfortable with racism and colorism but specifically Anti-Blackness. I was going to try and let this go because often times when I mention Crosshair especially in the past i get levied with false accusations and bad faith reads of what I'm saying but this is anti Blackness. There are people making jokes about hunting down, beating, and shooting a Black male character for something that was a whitewashed man's fault.

And shit like this is why this show either needs to change or go. I and others predicted this kind of thing like two years ago and we've only been proven right time and again. From me being racially harassed to people complaining of Blackwashing because they hate Black people so much that they think a person of color not passing for white makes them Black and therefore bad, to what I'm seeing now: largely white people daydreaming about being violent against a Black man. Because they refuse to see that the character they perceive as white is responsible for his own actions the way every other character in the series is responsible for theirs. It's just racism and anti Blackness all around.

#ch posts #the ppl who theorize he still has his chip and whole lotta other shit and its just leading to this #and its insane bc again not only did the creators explicitly say when lressed #that that was crosshairs choice #the whole theme of tbb #if you can call it that #is CHOICE #thats the POINT #but peoples narrative understandings start and stop with making sure their fave white ppl arent seen as bad guys #and ik theyre not technically white but the way theyre being set up against saw people are definitely perceiving them as such #and it's sick #but also i feel insane explaining this #like y'all really just dont like Black people

Can we just talk about how The Dream SMP is literally just Nightvale at this point?

An otherworldly place where weird shit happens and it’s completely considered normal among its residents. Said place probably having a portal to some desert otherworld (YES IM TALKING ABOUT UTAH IN THAT WILBUR FINALE) A colorful cast of characters that isn’t entirely comprised of humans, yet not really considered “weird” by anyone. Eldritch abominations literally everywhere. A tyrannical government

Trying to make sense out of anything will end up being ultimately futile because everything is weird and wonky and that’s the point because it’s funny and that’s just how their respective worlds work so we really just shouldn’t think about these things too hard…

I mean… WILBUR F*CKED A FISH AND HAD A FOX SON, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING NIGHTVALE WOULD 100% DO.

#dream smp #YES THIS IS ABOUT THAT WILBUR UTAH FINALE THING #I haven’t really been keeping up with the dsmp lately #but i keep seeing all these posts about wilbur and utah and managed to absorb some info about his finale #guys it’s literally just nightvale #nothing makes sense #thats the point #dsmp #wilbur soot #c!wilbur #nightvale #welcome to night vale #wtnv #wilbur lore #dsmp lore #dsmp wilbur
