I think the concept behind Grizz is solid: a Former Bear who inadvertently Ship Of Theseus'd himself into Not Being A Bear Anymore ties neatly into the running theme of Judd and Lil Judd being the Only Mammals left: Mr. Grizz, whatever he is now, no longer counts as a mammal. But in execution... Yeah. They should have focused on the "Ship Of Theseus angle" and the fact that, in his attempts to bring back mammals, he's become more like the organisms that he's trying to destroy.
Ive gotten about a good few dozen comments on YT about this exact thing.
but half of them being annoyingly condescending in the process for not bringing up this analysis in my Live (keyword live) reaction of me hating on the bear. i dont think ive really addressed how i feel about this particular thing because of how rude ppl were, but its been a while and youre being nice so long post incoming
Anyway yes im very much aware of this 'ship of Theseus angle to grizz, I did see that "in defense of grizz" video. And honestly I do agree it is something about him that has interesting potential if they'd leaned into it more.
Much of my distaste with the ending of ROTM is the build up and execution. They made the bear foreshadowing laughably obvious years too early, and then all the poor fools like me who care too much about splatoon's story had faith that "surely the splatoon team, who just made a story as surprising and serious as Octo Expansion, wouldn't handle foreshadowing the identity of their next major villain that badly" took the biggest L.
IF the splatoon team had been more blatant that the Judds were the last mammals left throughout the series (the only time it was directly stated that all mammals were extinct before ROTM? in a dev interview. and for years nobody wanted to believe it whenever i tried bringing it up lmao.) if they weren't that on the nose about the bear imagery. if the only solid piece of deception they had about Grizz not being a bear in the entirety of splatoon canon wasn't in a paid artbook... if they were more deceptive about the fact, I'm sure i wouldve been a bit more accepting of the idea of him secretly being a bear from earlier on, and it would've been a cooler reveal. But surface level knowledge should be called into question by looking at the deeper evidence, not the other way around.
The ineffectiveness of the bear reveal is a culmination of Splatoon doing a frankly, bad job at putting whats supposed to be basic, important, worldbuilding knowledge in the game. I think the intended effect of the bear reveal was that the general audience of fans were supposed to have been like "woah, but all mammals are supposed to be all dead holy shit i cant believe hes a bear." and that info was supposed to put a wedge in the bear theories. but when 95% of the player-base anticipating splatoon 3 had no idea that all mammals (except the judds) are supposed to be extinct in the splatoon world and how that's an important part of its worldbuilding up until the announcement of the story mode, if at all...idk man thats pretty bad.
The way the info about mammal extinction was worded in the official news posts sounds like it was supposed to be common knowledge for Splatoon fans, not a surprise like it ended up being.
Anyway back to the execution, it would've been cooler if they'd leaned into that horror element, the fact that he's hardly even a mammal anymore. I think the implication is there. It is cool and fucked up in Splatoon's signature way! But again, I agree it would be better if it was played up or even acknowledged once directly, like in log.exe. Even with all the potential for bear Mr. Grizz to be cool, the years of too-blatant foreshadowing leading to a frustratingly disappointing reveal and the exact annoying plot holes i feared of has permanently soured the concept of him being a bear to me.
#asks#return of the mammalians#i also get a lot of but what about dramatic irony!#soooo many signs point to the intent of it being a serious surprise#doesnt help that the eng dialogue added in a fuckton of goofiness that wasnt even there in the original#it wasnt intended to be dramatic irony period

Hii. I'm not sure how to phrase this question, but how does one draw the line between the most effective way of getting people into engaging critically with art and politics (which is imo, being nice and encouraging and yes coddling a little bit people's fragile egos) and expressing your own discontent with people's lack of curiosity and desire to learn and form well funded opinions beyond base level takes, paired with an immovable conviction that anything that isn't immediately comfortable (such as your blorbo show (?) Being criticized) must be Evil.
What I mean is that as an individual you'd want to basically shake these people who shut down every discussion with the slogan Let People Enjoy Things, and rightfully call them idiots for throwing a tantrum at the grown age of 36 because someone said maybe watching something other than Steven universe would be good or whatever, but on the other hand telling people they are unintelligent for exclusively engaging with surface level ideas/ uninspired art does Not encourage anyone who does that into going beyond that comfort zone. At the same time tho it does feel like you're doing airplane sounds so the baby eats the pudding without crying. You cannot condescend anyone into critical thought but the fact that so many people are unwilling to engage in it out of laziness is making everyone's life worse. How do we get out of that point ig is my question. Sorry if that made 0 sense English isn't my first language :P hope you're having a good day/night
idk i honestly get very annoyed by watching people or interacting with people who respond to any mild critical thought with some iteration of 'let people enjoy things' and 'youre being elitist for not liking the popular thing,' and a million other things. ngl i dont think tumblr is also the greatest place for like... scholarly discourse although it can actually be quite productive for it somethings. but a lot of people genuinely dont want to look into shit. theres an attitude here (not just on tumblr but i just think in the capitalist west) of incuriosity and its difficult to say how to overcomme. for example ill post links to books and essays about a topic and have people complain that i dont specify what chapters to read. this pisses me off to no end and i end up ranting about it and probably coming off like a dick lol. thus the posts...
i also do post like essays and articles and shit that i think explains my position on this and the theoretical basis for it, and if people ask questions ill try to explain any concepts and give recommendations for stuff to read about mass culture and cultural criticism. i think this has been more productive, idk. i dont think political education and class consciousness will rise from social media though, which is where these tendencies are allowed to develop to the extreme. organization and education irl will be the most fruitful, but still i just think to show people the stuff that influenced me and how i think of it is a net positive. ty and same to you

(re: your text post) I didn't particularly enjoy the Midnight Library...maybe I should have actually read the summary first but i picked it up because "midnight library" sounds like something i'd be into and I'd heard people talk about it online but..
as best as I can do without spoilers, the idea of experiencing what nora protag did was an interesting idea but I found the actual library part to be somewhat bland (and actually arbitrary) and at the end I thought it was kind of preachy. hopefully not just me but yeah it wasn't an awful book but definitely disappointing
p.s. i put legends and lattes on hold at the library but as i'm not a coffee drinker idk how much i'm actually going to like it lol.
p.p.s sent an anon since i'm a new follower, btw, love your content
awww hi!!
and i did NOT like midnight library, it felt pretty unoriginal for such an interesting idea. lbr its basically a revamped version of its a wonderful life and not done half as well.
i didn't think it was engaging and i agree with the prechiness. and condescending!
basically i will not be reading any other books by the author.
dont read addie larue, theres a correlation between those who like addie larue and fans of midnight library. chances if you dislike one, you wont like the other!
legends and lattes was fine but i dont think disliking coffee will affect your enjoyment. i would still lower my expectations tho, it might be more enjoyable that way!

snark ahead
idk its just bonkers to witness how often ive seen tunglr users easily 'spread this like wildfire!!11' w/ like the most commonplace/preaching-to-the-choir stuff on here and at a certain point it feels wildly performative and self-congratulatory like there's a psa quota we have to reach-- but when it comes to AZE and TUR violence on ARM ppl suddenly start muttering awkwardly and hem and haw with this very quiet but very transparent ohhh-jeez-i-dunno-maybe-it's-both-sides-isms and i think i know exactly where it's coming from, but i also kind of dont care b/c it's not an excuse lol.
and ik this sounds more vaguely accusatory than intended so ill just idk. clarify?? that im not coming from that annoying and pervasive 'x people should and can rb this/you're bad if you don't rb every post about This Thing' angle i see all the time on this site, either. it's condescending and creates this weird artificial pressure on people and makes individuals feel like their Social Justice Quotas are being unmet in the panopticon of the internet --- and i can go on and on and on about why i think that messaging does more harm than good, but im rambling now and that's besides the point.
idk im just tired? like that disconnect btwn western ppl/journalism and the rest of the world. it takes 2 seconds to google shit and if you have any basic media/news literacy you could easily reach the conclusion that: "oh ok what's happening to ARM is fucked up actually and it's literally another genocidal land grab by AZE on behalf of big brother TUR." but you see enough hand wringing and noncommittal language across soc media just enough, banging your head against a wall is preferable to sifting through all that noise.
#xangoeswah#and im well aware that after the past 2 years especially we're all addled w trauma and fatigue#im just ranting. but i get it! im not sitting here with a clipboard scoring internet users on the retweet/reblog olympics#thats not even the point of my bitching at all either. but i felt compelled to touch upon it bc i can see how someone might get that vibe.#but there are ppl out there who can relate w carrying this cultural trauma/grief with you#and the fear of not being taken seriously for w/e rzn.#and ig if i can expect anyone to understand where this frustration is coming from. it's them.

im just ranting about the shit in my head no one has to read this
i keep seeing posts that are like "its okay to let people in" or "allow people to like you and think youre cool you deserve it" and "let people do nice things for you" and i just want to say its not that i feel like i dont deserve to be liked and appreciated (i mean sometimes yeah but atm thats not the main thing) its just that somewhere along the line my parents really fucked up or something because the levels of stubbornness and spite and overall pridefulness in my body are so fucking high that even someone just saying something nice to me feels like a challenge. tbh i barely know how to describe it.
like believe me i would love to let people know me and do things for me without thinking they have ulterior motives but thats just not how my brain works. i hate it when people go out of their way for me. idgaf if i do that literally all the time because thats how i love people but if someone does that for me it makes me really angry. i dont know why. i hate it when people compliment me. i dont know why. it just always makes me feel so icky when people compliment me. i hate it when people try to help me. even if they say it in the nicest way possible it still feels condescending even if i can tell that its not. i just cant bring myself to accept help with anything. im too proud.
i am literally living on pure spite rn. i decided that i cant die until later in life because i need to prove my parents wrong about me. i can have a successful life without college. i have to show them. thats also whats keeping me going through school rn. like im taking a class that i was NOT excited to take but now im realizing that it is probaly gonna be very helpful to me later but since i have complained so much about it at home, my parents expectations for me are probably on the floor. like even lower than usual. SO i have to spite them by passing the class with an actually good grade. it sounds really backwards but theres logic in my head.
also i just have this way of thinking thats been burned into the insides of my skull that like every relationship i have is going to end eventually. like i know that SOMEDAY all the people i know right now arent going to be with me anymore and thats just something ive accepted. but its not like something that makes me sad? it probably should make me sad. but it doesnt. its just something i know.
idek why i wrote this but whatever now i dont have to keep it in my head anymore so yay i guess
TL;DR i am too stubborn/spiteful/proud that i cant handle people being nice to me because it either feels extremely fake or it just makes my skin crawl and idk why

Asfjfkdkf okay so, advice anon here again (sorry, I just got out of a meeting!) and like, I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know why I can’t do more than write one thing once a year. I feel like I don’t deserve to call myself a writer because I haven’t written a real fic since last May, honestly. And it’s not lack of ideas that are keeping me in this hellhole, it’s just that the instant I go to put them into proper words, I lose steam immediately and it doesn’t translate from thought to word document. And I know my mental health is fried because of the last year and some personal and work stressors that I’m sure have me burnt out, but it’s still like…I’ll think I’ll have motivation to write when I get home and done with the day and then it’s like pulling teeth to even so much as make a note so I remember my own idea to write later (which ends up being never). It doesn’t help seeing some of my closest friends having all kinds of free time on their hands and going out and joining rp servers and getting to hone their style and evolve and be great, and I’m happy for them, but I keep beating myself up about it because I feel like I can’t do it too. I’m a writer who can’t fucking write and I hate feeling like this.
And it feels like a double slap in the face with how much the writing community is popping off and flourishing too because it feels like unless I’m constantly engaging and putting out a headcanon post to remind people I’m not dead, no one cares. My blog is on the small side already and no one gives me any kind of feedback either and like, I don’t care if I have a few hundred or a few thousand followers, honestly. I’m so grateful to any person who’s read my work and thought that hey, maybe they’d like to stick around. It floors me that there are actual people who would do that over my work and I treasure each of them. But it also just feels like a lot of people don’t care to actually interact at all unless you have a substantial following.
Idk it all kind of builds up and like, I’m already feeling burnt out and then the combination of knowing I’m falling behind and that I’m not even someone who can call herself a has-been because I’m a never-was, it all just feels like a rock I’m trapped under. It’s really snowballed at this point and the more I think about it, the more frustrated I get, which only makes it worse. Legit I can’t think of a better metaphor for it than not being able to get or keep my writerly dick up enough to make any kind of content asbfkzg
Sorry, I know that was kind of a lot and I hope it isn’t overwhelming to read all that. You’re someone I really look up to as a creator and your input means a lot to me though, so if you have any words of wisdom, it would be immensely appreciated. But again, if this is like, too much, plz feel free to just ignore this, I don’t want to be a bother. Thank you for taking time to read this, I hope you have a wonderful day.
my response is long so its under the cut! <3
ah, anon! i have definitely experienced being burnt out and being unable to put anything down on paper - i'm very lucky that my main job is caring for my fiancee so i have a lot of spare time to do things with, so i can't say i know how you feel there - but that dread of having ideas that just don't translate? i know that very well. it's actually one of the reasons i like tumblr so much; it's so easy to just throw a paragraph or two together of headcanons in response and feel accomplished, if that makes sense? lots of my own personal favourite writers aren't people who are posting things every day, but i one hundred percent understand the fear of 'if i'm not posting, people won't care' (i must have written well over 300 fics at this point and i still feel like it).
i don't know what fandoms you're in; jojo seems to be quiet, but the other fandoms i've found myself in really very much are popping off. honestly, i think half the time popularity is just writing for the right character and it being seen by the right person who'll reblog it and everything will snowball. lack of interaction in notes doesn't mean lack of talent. i consider myself very lucky to have any kind of 'following' and it blows my mind people stick around, but i know a lot of that is because i post a lot, i write a lot, i don't shut up. i think a lot of anons/people are scared to interact with someone they haven't seen interacting with anons before. (as a side note, if you feel comfy sharing your url with me i would love to follow u ;_;. i think a big part of the writing community on tumblr is having the 'network' of people and i LOVE reblogging and reading and supporting other writers, and i know i'm in a fairly fortunate place that whilst i dont have a fuck-off huge following, i have a reasonable one who are very interactive and lovely!).
sorry i'm getting distracted! i'm not going to be like OH ANON YOU SHOULD WRITE FOR LOVE OF WRITING because that's ridiculous; we're all posting because we are small children presenting fics to an audience and saying 'please tell me if you liked it!'. i think most artists of any medium want validation and feedback and just to know they're being heard. it can be frustrating to work so hard on something and feel like you're getting nowhere; it's extra frustrating to know you have something in you that just isn't coming out.
a lot of advice i feel like i could give you might not even be that useful if you're too exhausted to do anything. i'm lucky that i'm one of those people who starts typing and doesn't stop. when i get bad writer's block, i just force myself through it. sometimes i use drabble prompts or alphabet prompts to force myself through it, or random generators (i know some writers who do drabbles that are exactly 100 words which seems like a fun idea but i'm so needlessly verbose it would never work for me). if you can find ten minutes of your day even to write a couple of words (maybe a morning might be better for you if you're tired in the evening?), it's amazing how quickly they build up.
anyway, i appreciate you feeling like you could come to me!!! i'm sorry if any advice i give sounds condescending or is just plain useless, i'm not actually that good at it but i very much understand where you're coming from and i hope things get better <3.

had a dream about a portal gun that allows u to travel back (blue) or forward (orange) in time (very long desc so I'll hide it in the read more thingy)
it started in an entirely new concept of my apartment where everything was new. i had to deal with some weird neighbours that were evicted and looked off to me but this section's highlight was a parrot that i cant for the life of me remember what they did since this part formed like right after i started my deep sleep phase. brain certainly lifted this from the kakapo/green parrot post i rbed but they looked very different in my dream. they were big and had like a black coat of feathers on top and only their belly was green so points for originality i guess
not as interesting so, proceeding. the middle phase was me getting bored/angry of whatever happened there and so i picked up the portal gun (somehow from somewhere, cant tell) and went back to when i was in school (i guess u just think of where u wanna go and it goes there in the past)
in today's version of the dream it was so long after I dreamed about it that i forgot how exactly it worked so I looked at the bottom of iy and the company's name seems to have russian characters, I can't recall what it was called but it was like tyrenyykyy or something with those letters. i didnt have the manual so i went to their website and the most powerful version (which was the one i was using) just cost $250. the company also sells.. clip art for ppl that make candy?
the gun itself has a constant receipt printer that describes the time u are in (like, [cafeteria - right before jonh left]) which i discover later that controls where in the timeline u wanna be in since at that point i just hopped in the past portal once and got to meet one of those human-apes that r our ancestors and double checked the website so thats how i figured why there was a scroll wheel next to the blue and orange portal buttons
AUGH ITS FADING ALLREADY AAAA
ok so i did some shenanigans that tied in with previous dreams i had in the same places (to me thats incredible. it doesnt happen often but when it does i go ecstatic and remember it while im dreaming, its like a half-controllable dream) but the most interesting part was when.. obama was in the school (completely made up im not american, that came from me watching mr. robot and noticing he was there) and i like went to him like hey old man look what i got. and he was impressed and i was trying to say 'i can go back more than 20 years back!' but i forgot how to say it in the form of 'decades' (i still dont know lol) and he laughed in a condescending way bc how stupid i was and tried to take it away so i immediatelly used it and went in the past again and realized how i could use this to stalk an entire person's life which i promptly forgot about and went to try to climb a place where some adults didnt let me go when i was a kid
the most fun in that was feeling like u were a criminal and should be stopped so it got u adrenaline but when i got there nobody gave a shit. didnt even acknowledge me existing there (which in my mind should have been even worse bc i was all grown up and idk, invading a place. it should have been even more interesting then when i was just at recess being watched) so i just layed in there like i died and woke up disappointed lol
alright uh this does not sound even near the fun i had dreaming about it.. fuck. i legit cant remember anything else but to me it was amazing to experience. u could alter the size of the portal too and that affects how far or forward u go and u also just go through a void when ur transitioning like in a way a game would do. it also had no handles just some plastic knobs u were supposed to put ur fingers in between but i remember i had to hold it like a baby bc it was so incvenient. also looked nothing like the og besides being made of white plating and looking like a peanut shell in shape
idk how interesting dream journals are to yall but its been a long time since ive had one of these complex story dreams. ones that u can separate into chapters and you wake up with an ending. i used to see more ppl posting them a while ago but i think that was a google+ thing so eeeehhh
i must be forgetting some very important details bci woke up like 'i gotta tell tumblr about obama. i gotta tell tumblr about obama' and i had just realized some stuff happened before the portal (the appartment part) part so i was like sheesh i lost like 80% of what happened there :[
i guess to me the bulk of the fun was going past and present and seeing which kinds of ppl were there. which kind of events. if i was still recognized as a student (which now that i think of it, i was wearing my uniform the moment i portaled to there.. huh.). none of the people i saw as friends were my irl friends, none of the events that happened there happened irl. it was all a re-use of a previous, already distorted dream i had. same scenario, same actions. i mustve thought this was what made the highlight (obama being there) just that much groudnbreaking lmao. "here's an entire new reimagining of your previous awesome dreams, with a way YOU can control them in whatever way you wish.................. AND, here's obama. bc u saw him appearing in that series. ur welcome" said my brain and i just pogged so hard at that
genuinely love so much when ppl share their dreams. its such an awesome thing to read about, its like trying to figure out how a machine works and then the machine reworks you instead
uh anyways. the dream has already faded out by this point, i usually just go wow!! i dreamt that?? at most after 5 minutes of the dream and then i put it in the back of my mind inside the 'epic dreams i had' catalog. i cant recall anything else interesting so hope this was a somewhat worth read lol

i was the vault custodian that week and i was gonna take up mute money that day. mute is short for Mutilated and it means money that’s too gross/beat up to give out to customers, but is still real money and full enough to accept in deposits n shit. in the vault, we put them in straps marked with highlighters, so we know which ones to ship out to the feds
i was gonna do it the way another teller had done it before: gather enough bills to sell a full strap, with the mute money inside, and mark it with a highlighter and just sell that to the vault
head teller (im gonna say HT to keep it easier) says that’s wrong and i shouldn’t do it that way. according to her im apparently supposed to have each teller sell each individual bill they have to the vault and then i swap it out, swap it out for a good bill that’s inside an already- mute strap (cause they’re never 100% full of mute money), and bring it back (i.e. five 1s, three 5s, etc).
note i am still tense w her from smth she had done the previous evening
so im like Ok I Guess and start writing down how much each person is getting rid of on a piece of scrap paper. which makes sense right? cause if i’m gonna be bringing it back, i need to know how much to GIVE back.
HT sees this, takes my paper and crumples it and throws it away without asking me, and tells me i need to count it. i am upset and i said i WAS counting it and that’s why i had the paper. but apparently i have to hand count it every single time
also im apparently not supposed to give any back to the other tellers and im supposed to sell it back to my box when ??? like.
im trying to sort out this misunderstanding with her and truthfully arguing a bit because she is treating me like a child! and she looks at me and goes “do you want to learn or not. do you take this job seriously. because this is how we do this, and if you don’t want to learn, i’ll call [retail op specialist] and we can find someone else.”
so im abt to go inside the vault and shes like abt to come with me to help SWAP THE BILLS OUT and i was like i think i got it.
so i go in there alone and have to take a second and lean my head on the counter bc i am abt to start crying from how upset angry and insulted i am. she was just 100% talking to me like i was 5 years old and being EXTREMELY fucking condescending to me about the whole thing instead of just... explaining it. i have never once cried at work and i dont cry often in general. but she had nearly pushed me to that point.
when i go back out HT says “see that wasn’t so hard was it” in this I Told You So voice
so abt 20 minutes later i call her into the then-empty manager’s office so i can sit down with her and talk. because i am a petty person but im not abt to lose my job so i wanted to clear shit up w her.
TLDR i said its not that i don’t want to learn, it’s that the way you talk to me is condescending and it makes me feel like you think i’m stupid. and she said sorry and that she would try not to talk like that anymore, she was just frustrated cause she felt like i was arguing with her. so! i assume shit is cleared up
apparently, the next day, when the girl i learned the original mute money technique from came to work? HT pulled her aside and talked to her abt it and told her that we wouldn’t do it like that anymore here. and apparently! this bitch told her “apparently dott just doesn’t want to learn”! after i had that WHOLE conversation with her because i was trying to be a fucking adult! so i guess shit ISN’T cleared up!
and the funny part??? last week was HT’s rotation week so she was gone for the entirety of our new manager’s first week. and the other teller talked w the manager (MN for short) abt mute money and u know what she said????
SHE SAID JUST SELLING IT IN FULL STRAPS WAS THE EASIEST WAY SO THAT’S HOW WE’D DO IT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
new manager
she officially started monday of last week, but had stopped by friday to get her keys and to introduce herself
HT is EXTREMELY angry that she didn’t get the position and she doesn’t hide it very well. and i like. i get it she’s been here for 10 years but also. just bc you’ve been here 10 years doesn’t mean 1. you have desk experience needed to be a good manager 2. you have the personality to be a good manager
anyway. MN is AMAZING and i love her. in her first WEEK, we got her putting her foot down but doing it in a considerate way, which is WAY more than could be said for our previous one, and is DEFINITELY something we need with HT. she’s very intelligent and i have very high hopes for her.
for one thing, TLDR we were cashing checks for ppl that weren’t there and had sent someone on their behalf, and we had apparently done that for a very long time but i never felt good about that. MN shut that down REAL quick as soon as she saw it happening, and the customers were all chill about it! literally the only issue is gonna be HT being upset that we’re changing that
the other big thing is its own section
Oh You’re GONNA Deposit It
so this one guy comes thru friday before last wanting to deposit a check into his business acct. let’s say his name is john doe, and the check’s made out to jack smith. jack has NOTHING to do with this account; he’s just one of john’s customers.
obviously we can’t fucking do this bc the check is made out to a completely unrelated person and not the business
i explain this to john doe and he immediately gets angry. hes like “oh youre GONNA deposit it.” with venom in his voice @ me. and i repeated myself. and he said “IS HT THERE??”
he’s asking for her because HT babies all these damn customers!! they’re spoiled as shit because she bends all these rules for them and then both of them, customer and HT, get angry when policy is cited at them
i was like ok! i’ll be right back! and i showed it to HT. and she goes over to talk to him. and even SHE tells him “we’re not supposed to do this” so she’s like “we’ll do it this one time because it’s a small check and you’ve been here forever, but we CAN’T do it again.”
SO EVEN HT HAS TOLD HIM THIS.
next friday, john doe calls in and says he has another check made out to jack smith that he’s gonna deposit. and if there’s any issue with it, he’ll close all his accounts out. like. ok lol
so he comes by and i do his first deposit for his personal bc it’s fine and then i pick up the business deposit and sure enough. another jack smith check, this time bigger.
so i don’t even talk to him, MN comes over to do that. she tells him the same thing i told him the previous week. he 100% straight up starts YELLING at her. not just raising his voice, YELLING. i can’t remember the exact convo but she hands the deposit back bc hes telling her to give it back and he speeds off
abt 30min later we get a call from someone at the call center just wanting to know the situation bc apparently he called them abt it and they told him the same damn thing we told him LMFAOOOO
so then an hour after THAT i pick up the phone and it’s him! he sounds calm and collected. he very politely asks for his account info because he’s gonna get stuff together to close all of his accounts and he’s gonna come by to do that. im like ok sir
he never comes by that day so idk if he changed his mind or if he’s planning to do it this week
the moral of this whole story is! this entire week is going to be extremely entertaining because HT’s reactions to all that MN has done so far (ALL GOOD THINGS!) is going to be extremely funny and vindicating! shes gonna be like “I’M GONE FOR A WEEK AND YOU LOST [COMPANY THAT’S BANKED HERE FOR 30+ YEARS]???” YEAH BECAUSE HE WAS BEING A MASSIVE CHODE GOOD RIDDANCE

Why do you believe you are 5w6? Because of the overthinking? That's standard Ni+Ti. All of your original posts that aren't ask answers are self pitying rants and whines about your romantic life woes. All of them are made of emotional turmoil and longing that sound so intense and dramatic it's very hard to believe you at least doesn't have 4 as a wing on your core type. Not to mention all of your aesthetic posts and pictures, which are again textbook type 4+ INFJ. You never show any 5 in writing.
Ok, imma bite.
Why do you believe you are 5w6?
Do you really want me to answer this seriously? Because i have paragraphs of reasons as to why. Just send another ask with this simple question and ill answer it.
Because of the overthinking? That's standard Ni+Ti.
That's one of the many reasons, but it is not because of overthinking itself. It is what makes me go overthinking mode and how I overthink. Of course Ni-Ti has to do with it, obviously, but an Ni-Ti loop manifests differently depending of the core.
All of your original posts that aren't ask answers are self pitying rants and whines about your romantic life woes. All of them are made of emotional turmoil and longing that sound so intense and dramatic it's very hard to believe you at least doesn't have 4 as a wing on your core type.
Because only 4s can whine and self-pity? Is that what you are assuming about this particular behavior? Have you thought of the reasons why *I* decide to whine-rant here? Probably not.
It is the motivation behind that should tell you the type implicated. This is backward logic. Assuming X behavior => Y motivation is narrow minded when in reality, there are far more reasons to why a certain behavior occurs and many behaviors can result from a single motivation (X behavior can be caused by A, B, C motivation, and Y motivation can cause A, B, C behaviors...). Yes, some behaviors are more closely indicative of certain motivation and vice-versa, but it is not a guarantee of it since there are many possibilities someone could, for example, whine-rant like I do.
Actually, if you are interested in the reasons why I whine rant specifically on my love life, here you go:
I gave my blogs name to the specific person I refer to in those whiny posts. And->
I am scared to share any bit of feelings with this person because I dont want to scare them away. In part because it is not "Love" with a big L yet, it is attraction, attachment and care at best for now, but idk how to show that with maturity, without sounding like a clingy head over heels dumbass. So i am being an avoidant fuck instead.
So here I am sharing my immature feelings in an immature way in a vain and delusional attempt to let them know I do care. And you know what? They probably have forgotten about the fact I have that blog.
Short answer: Because I handle badly my feelings and it is an avoidant and "safe" way for me to express them.
Not to mention all of your aesthetic posts and pictures, which are again textbook type 4+ INFJ
How is that a fucking argument. I hate every single dumbass that use aes as an argument because it is a lazy and avoidant way to ""argue"". By resorting to that you do not explain anything at all. By not telling why my aes strikes as INFJ 4 I can't even argue because I have no fucking clue why you think that. You let me fill the gaps of your own insipid point and construct an argument for you instead of actually explaining anything and exposing the holes in your reasoning, or even exposing truths about your point! Nobody can tell how right or wrong you are (except you, which is quite dumb if you want me to question my type), this makes this point useless.
You never show any 5 in writing.
Again, what tells it is not 5 and what is, by your definition? You're the one disagreeing, so I'd expect some examples or reasoning as to why what I write is not 5. On my part, I am still believing so far that my writings are a proof of 5 core. Prove me wrong.
I mean, you cannot dismiss my asks post as a proof of "something" when those are my main posts as well. I mean, why are they my main posts? Isn't it an interesting question to ask...
But despite my condescending tone, if you really have any argument for stronger 4 component somewhere, go ahead I am interested. Assuming your intention is really to question my type...

Gotta say, the hate being aimed at an entire generation is getting weird. Like every group of people has its shit heads, but getting mad at a group of people that are mostly teenagers is a lot. (And older gen z relate more to millennials anyways.) Idk what was in that tiktok bc i dont have an account, but theres been other posts from you that are just plain rude. Just saying that I saw your narrative go from “these kids are kinda out of pocket” to “fuck gen z, they all suck”. Idk how to say this without sounding condescending, but aiming hate at an entire group isn’t healthy whether you want to believe it or not. You end up dehumanizing them over time.
i’m a teacher i literally work w teenagers i wouldn’t have become a teacher if i hated young ppl
i was frustrated at hundreds of teens literally bullying a teacher on tiktok in that video am i allowed that? am i allowed to vent here so that i don’t take that into my actual life? do i have your permission? to vent on my own blog instead of picking fights w teens like a lunatic?
jfc adults get annoyed at teenagers sometimes!! that has happened since the dawn of time!!
