God I hate Pinterest and I really need to stop reading the comments on literally any post on there

I just saw someone straight up say they’re afraid that show fans who haven’t read the books are going to take over and dominate the fandom and they’re afraid that their memories of the books are going to get overridden by memories of the show because of new show fans, and that’s a good reason to gatekeep.

Like okay, just say you’re a party pooper and go home.

Yeah this is about Percy Jackson but I’m not gonna tag it as that cause I don’t wanna get hunted for sport

#i say this as someone who read the books repeatedly as a kid #like was full on autistic hyperfixated on these books and would read one book in 2 days #and when i finished blood of olympus i would start back over and read from the lightning thief #i’m not exaggerating when i say i think i read each book at least 12 times #these books were so very important to me and i would not be the person i am today without them #and i have zero sympathy for people who want to gatekeep the story from people who didn’t read the books #like sorry i have real problems #and what exactly do you think you’re accomplishing beyond making someone’s day a little worse?#acting like there’s some pure pristine way to experience the story? give me a break #you can love one version of this story and let other people love another version #it took me a while to see that because i was a teenager who liked being angry but that includes the movies too #do i like the movies? not really #but there are people who do and in the end i don’t gain anything by shaming them #god there are some people who treat popular book series like the fucking bible #like it’s some moral crusade they have to go on to defend them from heretics who like the wrong version of the story #grow up and let people enjoy things #*this rant is not aimed at the children saying shit like this #*y’all will grow up and hopefully be more mature about what hills are worth dying on #*this is for the grown ass adults who act like it’s their sacred duty to shit on any changes made from the books #*and if it offends you then you probably need to take a step back and look at why you feel so threatened by other people enjoying things

Duck hits different when you're no longer thirteen and in the throes of navigating friendships for the very first time and defining yourself by your social ineptitude.

#me at 13: wow duck is so awkward and weird and clumsy. just like me!!!!!#me at 23(older but only marginally wiser): duck is an incredibly emotionally intelligent and kind child-#- and its so sad that she doesn't see the beautiful impact she has on the world around her.#And not as Princess Tutu but as Duck! Literally everyone she meets enjoys her company-#- mainly because its so easy to be open and vulnerable around her!#And she doesn't even see how well liked and aporeciated she is!#(i mean that's partly dross's fault for never letting her develop her relationships with ppl who r past their usefulness to his narrative)#Anyway wow I really shot myself in the leg as a teenager by getting so caught up in my Incompetent Introvert persona.#Really didn't to right by the people around me by not bothering to put effort into my relationships with them!#Gosh it sure would be interesting if me growing up and learning and seeing things differently-#-impacted the way I view a beloved character from a media I consider a sort of a milestone that defined my tastes greatly later on in life!#Wouldn't that be just the darndest thing. Especially if it happened like 10 years later.#Which is duch a pointedly significant number itd sure feel a little on the nose haha!#Me at 50: anyone in this thread chew gum #fate.txt #duck #princess tutu

the mortifying aspec ordeal of wanting t draw fanart but 'if you tag this as ship No You Are Not.'

#piktalk #unfortunately i enjoy depictions of closeness in ways commonly solely interpreted as romantic! Alas!!!!#holding hands not as a romantic thing not as a besties thing but as a secret third thing #Yes they consider and worry about each other constantly Yes theyll go out of their way to include each other when they dont have to #Yes their lives are intrinsically intertwined Yes i need to see them together all the time always. No i do not consider them romantic.#partners; but not Partners. synonyms; homonyms; reflections; negative space. is this thing on.#what growing up on pmd does to a motherfucker (<- JOKE (<- MOSTLY)#like i like letting people do whatever but also im allowing myself to be selfish. Once

me: hector is part of a small percentage of garleans that have psionic powers to compensate for their inability to manipulate aether, but it weakens greatly with age and causes immense mental strain

also me: *falls into a deep rabbit hole of paranormal pseudoscience and marvel/dc comic power scaling wackiness in an attempt to explain why and how that is in the ffxiv universe, but suspension of disbelief is thrown out the window*

#cid.txt #rambling thoughts incoming #since se is pretty much done with garlemald: my city now #i can't do things halfway. i have to explain my work or else my brain will grow mold #is it biological? esoteric? environmental? who knows #leave it to me to make things more complicated than it needs to be :p #but there has to be more to their third eye beyond having better spatial awareness for weaponry #there has to be an advantage that others who can use aether do not have #i'm most likely not the first person to think of this concept but i enjoy tinkering with it #and as a sidenote i kinda wanna make yves a pisonic too because the more i remold him the more i move away from his mhach/supernatural root #his new outfit greatly inspired my current situation #he's already tall like a garlean and his full name is latin so he'll fit right in #and since he and hector are similar people i wanna revisit their early concepts of where they were friends—kirke included #i can't not see these 3 as the terror trio no matter how hard i tried to separate them through each rewrite #i'll have to make a meta writeup soon #signalis mgs and outlast have been templates for this concept #so let's see what I can cook up

blog that makes me happy vs nobody will ever take me seriously here as long as I post the way I do

#mousetalk #im aware that a lot of my biggest interests are for children. thats why this main blog looks like a seven year old designed everything #im also aware of how silly i tend to look to anybody who isnt myself. 'adult who likes things for children“ isnt really something you Want #to be known as because this makes you look stupid to folks who do not have or understand the childish stuff #which is pretty understandable. i do look silly taking cartoon dogs seriously and being converned over toy rabbits feelings and whatnot #im not so oblivous as to pretend that i dont lol #i just wish i could enjoy these things and still be taken seriously! im not angry at people for deciding they wont or deciding they dont #like me or deciding im some sort of strange freak who will never grow up. its valid when you consider the everything else about me.#just wish it didnt have to mean that any and all footholds i have in adult spaces werent null and void you know #itd be nice if the two things could coexist.#im really only rambling in the tags like this because having this childish blog as my main ends with me being blocked a Lot #which again! im not mad about! people can choose to interact with who they like and form whatever opinions they want #im just a little sad is all. i have plenty of (mature even!) interests outside of things like stickers or stuffed animals but i cant really #interact with these things here without somebody inevitably looking my way and going oh. another immature person. goodbye #or just assuming that im a child trying to wiggle my way into adult spaces by claiming i am one. according to 1 ask i recieved a while back #i dont know. this really isnt much of a complaint is it. 'people dont take my stuffed animals seriously' is about as stupid of a problem as #it gets haha #maybe someday ill suck it up and rebrand and stop talking about baby animals on my main blog #so i could finally follow a blog for something like a horror game franchise without being blocked on sight #or greeted reluctantly and with an eyeroll haha #TLDR; if this blog stops being happy funtimes it is nobodys fault but my own for being spineless about my own interests lol #i doubt anybody is reading this wall of text (hello if you are) but dont take anything i said in here personally #enjoy what you want to enjoy. dont let me or anybody else dictate that when your life on earth is so short #this is more just me with my own trivial issues that dont matter in the grand scheme of things #okay goodnight everybody thats it for the time being

what should be my real housewives of beverly hills replacement once i catch up? keep in mind that this is to fill a reality tv specific hole in me and i watch that show bc i love Mess !!

#silver jelly #going back and forth and back and forth lmao bc like #new york was orginally definitely my next but it has 13 seasons and that feels like A Commitment after 12 seasons of rhobh #potomac only has 7 and it has the bonus of being in maryland and that's really fun for me #i'm open to rh shows taking place anywhere else but if it's not one of those 2 i'm leaning toward something 8 seasons or less #ideally 5 or less tbh unless the drama is REALLY REALLY good.#also for people wondering i'm almost done with s9 and lisa rinna is my FAVE rn but eileen davidson & adrienne maloof are my all-time #faves. erica would be up there but acab. hatedddd brandi but i thought the season with carlton was particularly juicy.#let's see; rhobh did a vanderpump rules 'crossover' event for the brandi/scheana confrontation and to be totally honest i did not enjoy it #but i'm willing to give it another chance if it's good. i don't know anyone irl who watches this stuff lmao #so i've got like no point of reference.#i was super obsessed with project runway growing up and did a partial rewatch like 5 years back #and i still absolutely lovedddddddd it despite not being fond of michael kors or nina garcia #js and ultimatum are explanatory; i'm here for The Drama tbh #it's maybe fucked up but shows about other people's interpersonal conflicts are really good escapism for me #it's why i was so into succ lmao #i need like A Problem To Solve even when i'm in rest mode plus it's really inspirational for writing effective conflicts/misunderstandings #(these are very scorpio sun/gemini rising things to say ooooops)#anyway vote away even if you've never seen any of these !!! i also love controlled chaos !!!!

thinking about. womanhood again

#been thinking about how much of the way i have let some kind of womanhood in as a fragment of my identity is infleunced by me thinking that #'well people are going to gender me as a woman anyway so might as well accept it'#and i think that's a part of it (not a thought i overall enjoy. feels somehow defeatist or like i'm giving in or whatever.)#(which i dont think it is but it's a kneejerk reaction)#i do also think that the way i have been actively trying to unpack some of my internalized misogyny has a part in it #i'm not proud to say that i did grow up as a girl who thought womanhood (as it was presented to me at the time)#sounds stupid and way too much effort and unrelatable #but now that my view of the different ways to experience and relate to womanhood have broadened #i can say that i do feel some connection to it. even if i dont usually really claim it as wholly mine #and that acceptance has made it easier to be perceived as a woman in my day to day life #i'm not saying it never stings but. isk it's a bit different #i have said it before but the main thing that bothers me is being seen always and only as a woman.#like i can be a little bit of a woman and Kind Of Like a woman or a close approximate of a woman #but if Woman is all people see my gender as that stingsss #just like being seen solely as a man stings too #(this doesnt happen often so usually it feels more like a fun gender sprinkled in.#or like. it affirms my gender by telling me that i can confuse people)#like. i'm not really a woman i'm not really a man but those are the two options currently recognized by most of society #so a mix of both feels like the best case scenario for me personally genderwise #because gender neutral terms dont always just. hit the same for me as mixing gendered ones does. this varies greatly though #but also i would like to. hm. how to say this. not make that into a rule for myself? i dont want to overthink it #(<- says a guy who has never not overthought anything)#like i have been finding a lot of joy in dressing a bit more masculine in the last year which is wonderful #but sometimes i find myself stressing that if i look 'too masc' people are going to misread my identity more often #because i have a masc leaning chosen name and all #but i try to remind myself that. bitch people are going to misread and misunderstand your gender no matter what you do. relax #but idk. anyway abolish gender so i can start stressing over something else #nowe talks #gender

Some people wouldn’t know good taste if it was spat into their mouths.

#feeling salty tonight about some stupid fucking people #stop presenting your opinion as fact when you seem to deliberately misinterpret texts for your own ends #you project wildly it’s a bad look cut that shit out #learn to appreciate nuance #you’ll enjoy things so much more instead of constantly digging your heels in about the first inclination you ever had #learn to challenge yourself and grow and you’ll probably open up more #everything is subjective but sometimes someone’s rotten brain mangles a story beyond recognition and then yeah they’re just wrong #shoving every story and character and author into a box is dumb and you’re limiting yourself #remove the boundaries and expand your mind and you might find you enjoy things much more #constantly hating on things is exhausting. wouldn’t you like to rest?#take a deep breath and let it fucking go man this is stupid hill to die on #nothing is as black and white as you say and your extreme views are unfairly coloring the text in a negative light #it’s not that bad in fact I think it’s great and you’re a moron to write it off so flippantly bc you clearly don’t get it #death of the author but holy shit the blatant bad faith readings feels like deliberate misunderstanding #your criticisms don’t make sense they don’t even align with what’s on page you’re just rationalizing your negativity #if you find it so unappealing then fuck off #bc I do find it appealing and your rancid viewpoint is vomit inducing #from an enthusiast standpoint you sound stupid from an academic standpoint you’re just wrong #if this literature is so depraved and unpalatable for your modern tastes #go lick a tiktok and leave medieval literature out of it mkay?#end rant

That post that's like "my happiness is something I inflict on other people" is so real

#liked something too hard and immediately started trying to check im not putting anyone out #me: what if i posted about something i enjoy?#also me: enjoying things means other people find you annoying you cannot let on you like things ever #y'know what I think growing up nd really does a number on you #im going to go eat and see if my brain wants to write #since it was perfectly happy to draw earlier #i drew a bug ^^

I’m an autumn obsessive but I’m not and Etsy and Pinterest autumn obsessive

#who decided that looked good #please stop #why are you making HALLOWEEN white and pale orange #where is the purple #the black red and deep orange #the creepy faces carved in the pumpkins #‘but it ruins the way my pretty white pumpkins look’ GROW UP #‘let people enjoy things’ no. I will not #I am an advocate for eradicating American white girl autumn

I came to terms with the Sol kinnie thing months ago now because honestly who gives a shit, but every now and then I'll find myself in a situation where I wonder if whatever it was I was about to do was/is a pre- or post-Guilty Gear interest lol

#textpost #Most of them have been pre-Guilty Gear interests which is honestly hilarious #Like of course I don't have proof for most of it but my fursona is the funniest one #He's basically bootleg furry Sol Badguy BUT he was like that MONTHS before I got into GG #I've been thinking about this over the last few days though #Because I was doing some Queen stuff and had a thought like 'am I only doing this because my brain's weird or do I actually care'#And went through like a checklist of things. I do actually care #Sol is like frighteningly relatable though and sometimes I wish he wasn't lol #I typed this at 2am last night but saved it to my drafts instead of publishing it haha Still kinda feeling it this morning though tbh #I wish I could better articulate or find a term that describes how I relate to Sol better because 'kin/fictionkin' feels too...#Hmm.... Psycho-religious? A lot of essays I read while initially figuring this out related the kin tag to something more like a-#-Philosophy or something similar to a religion #But for me it's more like my brain filling in empty spaces within itself because No One was like me growing up and #now that I'm also trans there are even LESS people who are like me #So my brain sees a character that's similar to me and is like 'oh holy shit it's us. Let's be like that' hahah #This got really long I should've put it up in the post sorry lmfao #Anyway this is something I've done my whole life and 'kinning' is really the only term that fits what it is even if it's not a 1:1 fit #It usually doesn't bother me but knowing that some of the things I enjoy now I probably won't later once my interests shift again does #I still keep waiting for it to happen with Guilty Gear but GG is so different from anything else I've been into I'm not sure it will #Since most of the things I like about GG were things I liked before getting into it. Like heavy metal & weird scifi/fantasy #I'm not going to elaborate on how exactly I relate to Sol also. My blog is too public for that #and this post is already a little too personal #kin tag

with avatar 2 coming out, I would absolutely love it if the massive horde of people who love to shit on the first movie for whatever reason would just. let people be excited. stop trying to come up with some quip or hot take designed to generate social media clout. just let people enjoy a movie for once for the love of god

#its not even problematic #people just love to say its shitty because they want to shit on it #like grow the fuck up #let people enjoy harmless things #avatar 2
