sorry but the idea of bruce being dick's father in his mid 20s. he's always a little tired but otherwise he's young and looks it too. he can pick dick up with one hand to put him on his shoulders. he doesn't know jack about taking care of kids. they play a game that they both love where bruce picks him up and just like... throws him off of the spiraling staircase to watch how he catches himself in the air and lands unharmed. they play soccer together in the backyard and bruce is so young and spry and he can do a bicycle kick (dick goes to school and tells everyone that bruce can do a bicycle kick. not to flex but he's really cool guys.) he lets dick make dino nuggets as their dinner three nights in a row when alfred is gone and they make a stupid big everything but the kitchen sink sundae and split it afterwards. kid you're killing me, he says, because he has a sweet tooth that alfred doesn't enable. maybe sometimes they argue and argue bad, especially as dick grows up, but at the end of the day that's his dad.
one day like ten fifteen years later when damian is young dick looks at bruce and all the sudden what happened.... his dad has crow's feet and his hair is graying a little...! that sort of tiredness that people get as they age! he's still strong he's the fucking batman but when damian wants to play a game (being hurled off the balcony into the pool) bruce looks at dick and smiles and he's got lines on his face. he's aging. and that's still bruce but he doesn't laugh with his head thrown back anymore and he doesn't style his hair the way he used to when he was in his 20s and he's stopped wearing the loose button ups with the first button undone he wore when he picked him up from school in the convertible. his dad is getting older and even bruce wayne can't escape the passage of time. he tells damian no being thrown off the roof. damian protests. but grayson says you used to throw him off the staircase when he was my age. bruce throws his hands up and turns away and gives dick a look before he goes that tells him he'll be in his office and if there happens to be a loud splash from the pool... well that's none of his business is it.

KILLS MY SELF????#something about the thin line between bruce being dick's father and brother you know... is so fucking interesting. but i digress#also just to be clear these are all my own hcs and literally none of them come from anywhere in any published dc comic. do not get on my#ass about it i am making a silly little POST on TUMBLR DOT COM. if you dont like it complain to your mama. peace & love on the palanet eart

TC tag game
Tagged by @spudodell!
Rules: Answer the questions and tag other TC fans!
1. "He would not fucking say that" only they did and it's canon. When/who?
Not that they're necessarily out of character, but whenever Renault is clearly projecting her own internalized misogyny onto the characters (e.g. Laurie calling Nurse Adrian a "silly little dumbbell" at one point or the narrative voice commenting on Aunt Olive's lack of makeup), I am like
(Granted, her other contemporary novels that actually feature female protagonists are even worse about this… 🫠)
2. Did they kiss in the study? Yes/no + why you are 100% correct about this.
Yes, absolutely! I previously wrote this meta about why I think so here. But here are a few more reasons:
"Over and over, during those first months, Laurie had relived the scene in the study, guarding it with fierce secrecy as a savage guards a magic word." It would be quite odd for Laurie to constantly relive that last meeting with Ralph and guard it with "fierce secrecy," if Ralph had done nothing more than chastise him, give him an old book, and turn him out of his study. So something intimate must have happened there that Laurie still obsessively thinks about.
The infamous ellipsis after "Come here a moment" was deliberately added to the 1959 edition (one of the only additions Renault makes, rather than subtractions), which I think is probably to help clarify the significance of that pause.
Laurie's proprietary behavior towards Ralph at the party, especially him staking claim of Ralph in front of Bim (and frankly a lot of about Laurie's behavior towards Ralph in general), makes a lot more sense if they had a "moment" together in the past and both of them never got over it or each other. It would help explain why Laurie instinctively feels he does have a claim over Ralph (as the Odysseus to Ralph's Penelope, to use Bim's analogy), as well as why Ralph continues to carry a torch for him after seven years and countless other relationships.
3. Mandatory question about Ralph's alleged tattoos.
To be honest I don't think he has any tattoos yet (or at least any in areas that would be normally exposed to the public), or else Laurie would have commented on them like he comments on just about everything else about Ralph's appearance. I could see him getting some in the future though, maybe some nautical-themed ones and probably at least one related to Laurie because he's sentimental like that.
4. 53 vs 59 edition: quote a line or paragraph that is better in the edition you like the least.
I generally prefer reading the '53 edition mainly for the extra bits, but there are several stylistic writing choices I do prefer in the '59 edition. One of them is Ralph telling Laurie, "I didn't think you had that much bitchery in you." He says "cattiness" in the '53 edition, but Laurie is very bitchy (and Ralph likes that about him!).
5. Which TC character would feel right at home here on tumblr dot com?
Bim or Sandy! They would be bringing the tea. ☕️
6. Tag yourself at Alec's birthday party.
Probably part of the couple holding hands in dead silence, lol.
7. Post a TC meme.
I have a lot of memes in my TC tag, but here's one I made a while ago:
8. Easy to talk about who deserved better. Who deserved worse?
Dave because he bores me (the worst thing a literary character can do). Also Ralph's parents and Jeepers.
9. You can break the fourth wall (at any point in the novel) and say a single sentence to our protagonist, Laurie Odell. What do you say?
"You are intensely afraid of abandonment which is why you keep trying to leave people before they can leave you. (Please go to therapy.)"
10. What's a question you have about TC? One you haven't found an answer for yet.
What do Laurie and Ralph do for their post-war careers? There have been several excellent ideas in post-canon fics, but I haven’t quite settled on my own headcanon for them.
Tagging: not sure who hasn’t been tagged yet, but feel free to nab if you see this!

Your little ego is hurt seeing victims talk about your shitty personalities, isn't it? Bother your small brain to learn about narcissistic abuse before flooding ACTUAL victim support tags maybe? People who deny others abuse absolutely deserve whatever shit representation they get. People's lives are getting ruined and you're here with your "it" pronouns silencing actual narcissistic abuse victims. It's so triggering, i hope the karma hits you like a fucking bus soon. Damn abuse apologist cult.
okay, so if i understand you properly; 1.) you think i’m offended with these silly asks in the slightest??? 2.) you want me to stop using your tags when y’all frequent ours? is that what i’m hearing? 3.) you fakeclaiming the abuse and neglect i went through because i formed a disorder you don’t like, 4.) i’m somehow denying abuse by saying “your trauma is valid and your abuse was real, you’re just using the wrong term”, 5.) transphobia!!! wow. i can’t believe i was transpbobiced on tumblr dot com. odd, huh? 6.) you sent me harm threats for asking to be treated like a human… okay 🤔
1.) i just respond to these asks because i have nothing better to do and i like getting in the “last word” or whatever. i would like to change someone’s mind and open there eyes, but if i don’t, whatever. but still, if you think i actually care or you’ll somehow change my mind, you’re sadly mistaken!
2.) people have been tagging like this for ages. it’s nothing special or unique to me. the day i can scroll through “npd” or “narcissistic personality disorder” without seeing y’all’s posts is the day i’ll stop trying to educate y’all using your own tags. but since that day will never come… neither will my end of the bargain!
3.) this is just… exactly what you claim i’m doing. do you not see the hypocrisy here? i never once said your abuse wasn’t real, just rather you use the wrong terminology for it… yet you come over here kicking and screaming saying my abuse and neglect as a child and teenager wasn’t real? seriously? okay. that makes total sense.
5.) i’m one of the few pwNPD who still have patience for the ones who demonize our disorder and don’t understand it. i always make sure to validate and tell the people reading what they went through actually happened… so you got the wrong fella LMAO
5.) it/its pronouns have existed and been used on people forever, honey. i’m not unique or special for using them. transphobia won’t get you anywhere in life. honestly? surprised you didn’t go for the neopronoun with this little rant. but 🤷♂️ it is what it is.
6.) this is just, again, hypocrisy at its finest. i don’t need to explain it to you because you know damn well what you meant when you said it. i’m well aquatinted go online stalking and harassment, so hit me with your best shot.
anyway, hope you’re doing well and obviously feel a bit better because this was emotionally charged. i hope you have a great day! 😊

nikkaaaa hii! i hope you slept well and your morning has been wonderful so far!! it feels so amazing to be back in your inbox as silly as it might sound 😭 (also there absolutely no pressure to answer this quickly or at all, i know your inbox is busy and i’d never want to overwhelm you)
i just wanted to tell you how much i missed you here now that i have time to really write it, i genuinely cannot describe how much joy i felt seeing your post notification on monday :,)
seriously, the impact you’ve had on me is incredible, and i’m so lucky to know you.
you know that quote: “no matter how far away we are from each other in distance, or in time, when we look up into the clear night sky. we will always see the same moon.”?
i have always loved it and i thought about it even more while you were taking a break <3 idk, maybe it’s a little dramatic but it’s true! any time i saw the moon and it was particularly beautiful (which, really, is all the time, but still) it made me smile knowing that it was just as beautiful in your night sky.
anyway, i love you and you already know that, but i’m so happy to be able to say it to you again 😚 te adoro muito, minha vida <3 <3
& no matter how much i missed you, i never want you to feel guilty or anything for taking breaks, your mental health is so much more important than this little website, don’t forget that!! (and i’m very sorry if this sent more than once i swear it crashed like 4 times sending this 😭)
han, my sweet han!
i feel a bit sad to have to answer this ask. being honest i kept re-reading it whenever i felt slightly sad in the last few days. it became emotional support. yeah maybe, they're "just words", but words are important to me, especially coming from someone like you. someone i admire and adore from the bottom of my heart.
the special connection we have let it be for our love for messi, or lichantony, or for the bra x arg combo... everything we share makes me think we are made of the same stardust that builds everything. when i think about you, i think about those deeper things, about the real meaning of life, and doesn't matter if we met on tumblr dot com, to me our bond is forever. because we believe in magic!
i start to feel like i associate you with the moon so easily. not only because you like her a lot, but because both of you have this magnificent power, the ability to make people enchanted and to believe in good things. just like the moon, you bring majesty to the night sky and give me the certainty that i'll have a new day to try again.
my love for you is to the moon and back, to the sun and back, to infinity and back <3
#if there is a motive for what i came back it's because of you guys#you guys really care and i'm...#i love you han <3#queen of cups <3#beloveds asks <3

Idk if I'm simblr-y enough to give story advice, but this counts for other art forms too so I'm saying it anyway: Done is better than perfect, and it's pixels babe!!
If you've got the absolute perfect post in mind, but no matter what you do or try it's just not working and it's frustrating you to the point of tears, done is better than perfect. Oftentimes the flaws that you notice as the artist will not be noticed by the audience.
Think about it!! Do you, as a casual viewer, look at art and immediately find all the little flaws? No!! you don't even know what the artist considered a flaw!!
Most people that are reading sims stories on tumblr dot com are not scouring every inch of the post for mistakes. (and if they are, that's a them problem)
As for "It's pixels babe" ...It's just pixels y'know? Every time I get worked up about how different aspects of the story are gonna mesh together, or how one particular thing might not make sense yet, I step back and say "there are cowplants in this game"
"This story has aliens in it" "Look at Nervous"
It's pixels!! It's a fun videogame!!
If I'm stressing and spiraling, the solution is not gonna come to me while I worry about it and make myself sick, the solution is gonna come to me while I'm making coffee two days after I've already started focusing on something else. It's okay!!
Don't be afraid to get a little silly!! Even if said silliness won't make it into the actual story. Get silly with your friends about the characters, add silly songs to their playlists, put bad memes on their pinterest boards!! Loosen up and have a little fun, it'll make things easier I promise!!
To err is human & I love you all!!
#strange communication#Hiii I just woke up from a nap and now it's 2 am#but I heard we were doing advice so here you go!!#life's short. games are supposed to be fun. this is tumblr dot com!!

the fact that you will bring up mental illness as your defence but still not try to understand other writers problem is so sad rosie . your readers also read other peoples (at least i do] so i am upset you only think about yourself like this .
u know what FUCK IT this shit is not happening twice to me. do not read if u don't want angry rose!! and if ur anon? please just leave. me. alone.
in 2019 i got attacked like fucking crazy and when I shared how much it affected me bc i have problems with anxiety specific pertaining to my safety (since i was getting fucking dox threats) and a fucking mutual of mine made a vague post saying i was "guilt-tripping ppl with my mental illness." and guess what the fuck ur doing to me now!!! doing the same shit to me!!! do u know how damaging that was for me? someone who already does not open up to anyone??? to be told i cant open up to my readers on MY blog??? this was some real world shit okay. i deadass went to therapy. I'm talking about this affecting my REAL LIFE okay not just some blog on tumblr dot com. I paid real money to fix a real problem that this shit hellsite created for me. How fucking stupid is that!!!!!!!!!!
to this day i struggle feeling like I can't fucking talk about my mental illness bc ppl would think i was using it as a weapon. my anxiety got so bad that to had to drop out of fucking college. even now when smthn is wrong and my loved ones are in person asking me whats wrong i feel my throat close up like i shouldn't speak. i have to FORCE the words out of my throat. This isn't me blaming tumblr for my mental illness. IM responsible for my mental illness. so I've learned to set boundaries.
You don't like how i do my tags? fine. unfollow. block. i genuinely wish u the best of luck. genuinely. i mean that with all of my person. But i will not. WILL NOT. be told that i cant talk about my mental illness?? I AM MENTALLY ILL. ITS NOT A TITLE IF IT AFFECTS HOW I LIVE MY DAY-TO-DAY ITS APART OF ME TF???? what the hell does insulting me in my inbox calling me all sorts of names and sending fucking asks talking shit to other authors have to do with community? fuck that. If that's what this community does, then I'm not a part of it. if i am telling u that i cant handle this conversation nor give u the result u are wanting and nothing productive will come out of it its bc i am setting boundaries and respecting ur time. this sooooo vile i don't even have the fucking words. ill be honest ill have to go back to see what i posted bc i did act on emotion and just rambled but i don't remember dropping "i use tags how i want bc I'm mentally ill!!" anywhere.
All i ever want to do is write. I love bts. I love writing. it is my one true love in this world and sharing it with my readers has given me more than I could ever explain. They are my everything. You guys are my everything. And I'm sorry this app has robbed me of feeling comfortable to talk to you guys about everything.
From now on im won't be answering anything that isn't pertaining to my fics or bts. I'm sorry but when this is just ridiculous. I won't have my happiness and sanity destroyed by this app anymore. This has exhausted me. There's a reason I will never make anymore friends on this app. There's a reason I don't answer pms anymore. Because my best wont be good enough for some ppl and i don't know how to healthy cope with that because GASP!!! IM MENTALLY ILLLLLLLL!!! So the only solution is to no longer engage. I'm done. I'm moving forward from here on out. The tags stay. Anything outside the realm of this blog doesn't exist. Just gonna post my once a year silly little fic and move the fuck on. toodaloo!
#ask#tw vent#tw mental health#deleting literally every ask relating to this so don't waste ur breath anon#this is long as fuck post fair warning

Hi! I just finished reading your analysis on Lonnie Byers and it was super interesting!! As I was reading it I had about ten “ohhhh that makes so much sense!” moments!!
I also wanted to say I love the way you format your analysis (I’m sorry, I have no idea what the plural of analysis is) with all the images, colors and font sizes, it makes it a lot easier for my brain to read and stay focused on!!
I hope you have a great day!!!
Thank you so much 🥺 a lot of how I format theories comes from reading a lot of other theories from other theorist blogs, I was a little shy to start using things like text sizes and font colors but I agree that it just makes it so much easier to organize and emphasize information. I had to remind myself that I was making posts on tumblr dot com and NOT writing college essays so it was okay to format things a little silly 😂
I guess I also just format it by how my brain visualizes the information I guess. Oh This Thing is important so it gets Big Letters and this part of the sentence is emphasized so I wanna give it Fun Color.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the askbox for the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. Get to know your mutuals and followers.♡
leigh i am so sorry i'm answering this fifty years after you sent it to me, my askbox is always empty and i never check it like the bastard i am. better late than never? maybe? anyways.
my partners. i have two wonderful partners, one of which i've been with since high school and one who was my college best friend, of 8 and 3 years respectively. they are the best thing that has ever happened to me. i've been writing for 10 years and i still don't have the words for how life-changing it's been to have the privilege of walking beside them for the years i have. every day i'm a better person because i know them. every day i can't believe i'm lucky enough to love them. there is good in the world i have seen it & it is alive in the people i've given my heart to. not to get so real with you on tumblr dot com but. yeah.
my cat piper. i've added pictures for tax. me and one of my partners adopted her a few months before covid hit. she is greedy and clingy and a ball of living sunlight. she has broke many things i love. she yells at me constantly. i don't know what i'd do without her.
school. i'm a huge fucking nerd about school. i genuinely love learning and the time i've spent in college has been the happiest of my life. i'm going to grad school rn to become a therapist and it's brutal and i love every second. i've met the most amazing people and i learn new things every day and it's amazing PLUS i'm on my way to doing the thing i've always dreamed about. jazzed as fuck.
rocks. i have a massive rock collection of over 300 different rocks. i've also included a picture for tax. i've loved rocks since i was a kid and now i've spent an Inadvisable Amount of Money on them. they're all over my house and they bring me so much fucking joy. that came from the ground!! that was in the ground and now it's in my house!! a very improbable series of events happened that made this beautiful colorful shiny chunk come from the dirt and now it's mine! amazing.
connecting with fandom people online. if you've ever tried to speak to me on tumblr or ao3 or the like, this may not seem true since i am Atrocious at responding but my executives just hate to function in that direction, there are actually few things i love more than making connections with people over our shared love of the bastards on our screens. i'm awful at reaching out first bc my silly little brain tells me no one wants to hear from me, but i genuinely love getting to know my moots. i love getting comments on ao3 for the same reason. seriously, a comment on ao3 will make my whole week even if it's "just" a keyboard smash or emojis. i write for the love of it but i post to connect with people. if you've ever read my stuff please talk to me about it.

hello and howdy!! im stix from fizzstix tumblr dot com online on the inter net :3
(more info below the cut)
stix
genderfluid (tme) / bi / white
any pronouns (including it/its)
i cant promise i'll be super active and dedicated when it comes to posting on this account (schoolwork and anxiety make it hard at times </3) though i am likely to post art (mostly fanart lol), ramblings and maybe perhaps even the very occasional once-in-a-century update to the fanfictions that i "write" (daydream about for hours on end) (also fizzstix on ao3 btw) however it has been over a year since i last updated so if you're only going to follow for that then i don't recommend it LMAO
some of my hobbies include art, writing, kandi making and media analysis. idk i like to make things and i think too much that's it rlly
ive also been getting into persona 5 and dungeon meshi lately (but i'm nowhere near finished with either of them lmao)
some of my interests include (ones in bold are ones i'm most likely to post/reblog about): bandori, undertale/deltarune, splatoon (i really like splatoon guys did u know i like splatoon can you tell can you tell i like splatoon can you), spiderverse, camp here & there, odd taxi, vocaloid, portal and mlp (mostly bc of vylet pony idk much about the show itself hsvdjahdjshhd)
theres not much else to me tbh im sort of just a. silly girl just a little guy just a cringe creature etc etc
also i do block terfs/zionists/proshippers/bigots/assholes in general. stay back and stay away i won't hesitate. however i do occasionally block liberally outside of that (something something curating my online spaces). i'll also probablyy block accounts with no posts/icon/about (mostly bc of this sites bot problem hsvdjahdj) but it's on a case by case basis so. keep that in mind. i do try my best to ensure that this account is a safe place, but if i ever do something wrong please don't hesitate to let me know!!
that's about it i think!! hope you have yourself a good day!!!

Why would you say something so brave etc.meme. No but for real are ppl expecting brownie points for going "sa is bad, actually"??? This whole thing is so fucked up and it's obviously going to affect the way we interact with the show and (at least personally) my capacity to enjoy it and enjoy tomgreg but like. I think that goes without saying? It's just so performative 😬 Also I hate that ppl are posting shit like oh i always knew, he always gave me creep vibes which no u didn't!! I could bet u didn't! Sometimes u can't know until it's too late and that's the scariest part of it all!! Anyway.......
Performative is a good word to use here honestly.
Just trying to find out what this is about, bcs I am famously not on twitter and tiktok, I had to scroll through like 20 posts that were just people saying. oh. how can i continue watching my silly little show on hbo now that i know this. tomgreg's dead to me now (unironically). nb is dead to me now. i am deleting his name from my search history. cousin greg is no longer my sweet little giraffe prince. some go even as far as to accuse people who are asking genuine questions about the whole '16yos on tiktok accusing grown ass man of sa' and just how tractable this might be of trying to shut the victims up and put the blame on them.
very little of it seems sincere and true, i think, for some people, at this point it's a reflex to go CANCELLED without the slightest inclination to question what they are presented with, just to make yourself look like the most morally superior human being on tumblr dot com.
the whole point of being outraged and hurt on sb's behalf is to admit you were fooled, which simply does not go hand in hand with claiming you suspected something like this from the start. if you did, why did you participate? if you suspected, why have you not said anything? you cannot have a cake and eat it too, you either are angry bcs you got played and deceived or you somehow knew this was coming and decided it didn't matter to you all that much. you literally cannot have it both ways.

Because Bucky is known to flirt with woman and because Sarah is a wonderful woman whom would be perfect for Bucky if they do go that route and Sam maybe right there but that doesn’t mean they will get together because there’s no canon evidence that they will, it’s all just what fans interpretation through their rose tended glasses.
I get wanting more rep but sometimes two friends can just be two friends. No need to question why Bucky is flirting with a woman he just met when he was clearly established to have that be apart of his personality back in The First Avenger.
sir this is a Wendy’s
#I....#like number one I was making a joke I was making a silly little joke post on tumblr dot com#and number two I’m not like. actually invested in mcu canon ships or representation this is not the year of our lord two thousand and twelve#the Disney corporation can shove Bucky with a random woman he’s never met and who’s had no character development and y’all will eat it up#and say she’s perfect for him sksjsj#I’m not here to have a serious conversation about buckys character change post catfa or what canon evidence there is I literally don’t care#I’m only here to be gay and criticize Kari skoglands directing#like I truly don’t understand why anyone would watch this show if not for sambucky but marvel stans astonish me every day so!#anyway no need to come into my ask box and tell me two friends can just be friends when I’ve clearly been established as gay <3#tfatws#marvel#mcu

i don't mean to be rude to either you at all but i do just want to say gently as a mutual-in-law of both of you who was a fan of atla but who never posted about it and that this blog and the attitude with it is basically the reason who if that makes sense? like i understand it both because a lot of your takes are really good and its clear you both put a lot of effort into them and because there are 100% some awful takes in this fandom (including ones based in bigotry that 100% need to be called out) but something about the "our takes are the only right and correct ones" attitude that come across with this blog (im not even saying either of you have that attitude in just saying its very much the impression you give off) made the idea of being in the fandom and engaging in with this show with my mutuals and the groups they're part of honestly kinda terrifying just because the fear of being judged or having the wrong opinions to the point were its totally turned me away from the show and the idea of enjoying it at all. im not saying this to attack either of you but i do just want to say that at least in my experience the way you present this blog does create a really judgmental attitude and i just wanted to let you know because i dont think its at all helpful for anyone involved and just causes more harm than good. thank you for reading and hopefully listening.
look. i'll say off the bat that it upsets me that there are people whom i've caused pain with the fact that, to some, i give off the impression that im very judgemental and need people to agree with me. i understand that people can take those things more seriously than i mean them, and can feel judged because of it. if you, anon, are expressing this sentiment, it's likely that there are at least a couple other people who feel similarly. and i hate that! i wish that this blog didn't make people scared to make their silly little posts. as im gonna get to in the rest of this answer, i don't know that there's anything i can/should do to stop people from feeling this way, but i wanted to acknowledge it.
one thing that i consistently try to impress upon people, especially when i get the sense that people are (somehow?) developing parasocial relationships with me, is that i am just some guy. i know that's a common statement in this corner of the internet, but i truly, deeply mean it. i think that i have a very good understanding of this tv show that i am quite abnormal about, and im gonna say so. and it's true that on this blog i put on a bit of a persona as if im far cockier than i am irl, or even than i am on my main (which is y'know. related to the fact that, as i said, avatar: the last airbender is indeed a subject i know very well and i can therefore act confident when talking about it). but at the end of the day, i am just a guy. i am a teenager with an internet connection and i often use it to make posts on tumblr dot com. you have no obligation to take me seriously.
there are so many popular posts on this website that essentially say “omg it's so hard being the only person who has good takes on my favorite show :(.” when i reblog those posts, i promise that am self-aware about them (and i assume that most people who reblog them are self-aware about them). this means that i understand that there is not, in fact, any sort of morality tied to one's takes on one's blorbos (unless y'know. said takes are bigoted, as they often are). when i reblog those posts, i am simultaneously saying that i relate to the sentiment expressed (that it greatly annoys me when i see posts about my blorbos that i don't like), and making fun of myself for having such an outsized reaction. no, i do not actually believe that im carrying some great burden by having a good understanding of this show. when i claim that i am, im satirizing myself. because again, im self-aware about how abnormal i am about this show. also, im sorry if it doesn't come across as self-aware, but im personally against the online practice of putting a million disclaimers on joke posts. i think it assumes that people are reading things in bad faith (which they often are to be clear), but i try not to assume that.
the thing is. like i said, i do think i have a very good understanding of this show. and sometimes i'll be annoyed at people, even mutuals, for disagreeing with me. sometimes i'll even dm my friends a post bc the post annoyed me. this is all, imo, normal? like yes, i have stronger opinions than most on this relatively inconsequential topic, but like. it's normal to get annoyed at people you care about sometimes. im not gonna unfollow a mutual just because they annoyed me. im certainly not gonna make a callout post. im sure i annoy my mutuals sometimes. which is.... genuinely fine. as long as we don't cause drama over pointless things and get other people involved, it's fine to cause each other annoyance.
(this is the part where i begin psychoanalyzing you likely more than is warranted).
you say you can be scared to post, so what exactly are you scared of? that your mutuals will think you're wrong? i don't mean to minimize your feelings, but if you don't have incredibly mean mutuals, nothing bad is going to happen because of that. believe me, i really do understand fear of judgement, but the solution isn't to tell virtual strangers to stop having/expressing strong opinions, it's to stop caring as much about those opinions. i get that that can be difficult, but it's important for like. your long-term mental health.
so like. ultimately. there are definitely times when i've been more judgemental than warranted on this blog, but please do not feel scared to share opinions. worst-case scenario is that you annoy people. and also like... i really do love it when people express disagreement with me, as long as they're not saying something that particularly annoys me. sometimes people contradict me and are more correct than me, which is great! maybe this is just because im jewish but. i don't want people to always agree with me. i want for people to think critically, and that includes questioning my takes on things, even if you've (rightfully, imo) decided that i usually have true and insightful things about this show.
anyway this got very long but. anon im sorry that this blog has hurt you in whatever way it has, and i hope this explains the way i think about things better.
#s#*#asks#anon#note from nour i think shosh was kinda too nice. but i do agree with everything they said. just in case

10 years ago images i posted for the instagram thing but i wanted to write long form about 2012 because i never let myself share anything and its nice to use tumblr as my journal.
in 2012 i was going into year 10 coming hot fresh off a break up with my first real gf on christmas (i had one before that but i literally had a panic attack when it was “socially appropriate time to initiate a hug at the year 8 disco” ((this is before i realized i was autistic)))
we were dating for a year? but literally never hung out outside of school because i was too embarrassed that i was very poor and had a messy 3 bedroom house with 6 people living in it. i forget why we even broke up but its silly to think about the fact we never hung out outside of school
this ended with like a big ostracisation from that friend group (the second time this had happened in my life at the time). mainly because i sided with my friend who dumped his boyfriend. gus is still my closest friend in the world and we make music videos together and it was the right choice to make.
this breakup left me with little friends at school but i formed a close bond with an alt girl i knew (who i was acquaintances with beforehand). her friends were the emo girls doing speed in year 7 but i got close because i got heavily into drinking / smoking weed / cigarettes the year before at 14 and we would share darts / bud etc...
she was my best friend that whole year. every week we would buy weed at the start of the week and be high every single day of school. i started ditching classes a lot more and bonded with this group of people that were just like the gays & emo girls.
we would just walk out the front door of the school and go choof hand rolled cigarettes bought from the corner store near the car dealerships.
in year 10 we could choose electives; i chose the ones with the least responsibility; social walking... community clean-up.. and backstage
i loved backstage... ive always loved it... it coincides with a period where i was really getting into making music at home to escape my parents long-awaited divorce... it led me to doing a year of audio engineering... by the end of the year i was running sound for the schools production of Noises Off (weird choice for a year 10 play... i wanna rewatch the movie)
oh funny aside the night of that play i didn't go home i just brought my laptop and all my audio shit to school and after school my friend was like hey come to the city and pick up with me so i went and we went to THE Sketchiest situation ive ever been in with a 30+ year old drug dealer... we ended up being there for like... 3 hours so eventually we had to bail and i had to go to this play and i had like 40 minutes before i was meant to be there so i sat on the school oval and played minecraft.
anyway i made a lot of connections with people online that year and some that still stand (love u dorfs etc so forth). i was also being groomed by a now known predator on tumblr dot com)
ALSO i had a fling with my friends older friend but in hindsight she was like 23 and i was 16 that was SO fucked up huh she still works at the jb hi fi near me so i don't go to that one

Ok, but why a remix fest though?
Look, I love JSAMN. I love it and it makes me want to create my silly little fanworks. But you know what makes me want to create my silly little fanworks even more? The fandom. Other people's fanworks. I love reading someone else's fic and becoming inspired - often by the smallest, most random details or elements - to create something that on the surface may look entirely unrelated, but that I know came about 100% because of a single line or moment in that one fic my friend wrote.
Personally, I think the majority of my fic ideas came about by engaging with the fandom and its output, rather than with the original text. And perhaps I am not the only one who feels that way. So this fest, by way of using the "inspired by" function, is meant to be a way of saying
"Hey, friend, this thing you made about this world we both love had such an impact on me, it made me want to create something in turn."
So feel free to join and spread some love not only for JSAMN but also for your fellow creators!
