Honestly, the lack of care about antiziganism is mind boggling to me and I'm not even affected by it. People are so fucking casual about it too, like???
The energy is pretty much, "Can't even say [g slur] now. People are so sensitive. 🙄"
And with antisemitism on the rise, I really doubt people are suddenly going to turn around their attitudes about Roma people. It's so gross and I'm really sorry to everyone who has to deal with this shit and not have it taken seriously.

what a lovely day to post about disabled richie tozier (cw: description of tics and stims!)
after the fall out of the deadlights, he severely fucks up his knees and ankles
the adrenaline keeps him going until they get out of neibolt at which point he just collapses
he leaves the hospital with knee braces and crutches and it’s a little scary at first
he’s never had any issues with walking other than then general getting-old charlie horses when he stretches the wrong way, so suddenly needing multiple aids is jarring
but eddie’s in a wheelchair now because of his spinal cord injury, so at least they can commiserate
after a few months, richie’s able to walk slowly just using the braces, but every step hurts
the under-arm crutches also sucked, though, so he finds himself using forearm crutches for anything more than walking around the house
and sometimes even then
he’s not off balance, he can stand on his own, but sometimes he wishes he had the chair because standing for too long in one place hurts, too
he’s mostly neutral about his aids but he does love helping eddie decorate his wheelchair bc he knows it’s been a huge adjustment
he slapped an old tour sticker on the back at one point and even though eddie pretends to hate it they both know it’s one of his favorites
richie’s known he’s autistic for a long time
he has some other tic disorder but he’s never looked too much into it or been diagnosed because it hasn’t been severe enough for doctors to care or recognize it as more than his normal stimming
and he doesn’t particularly care either—it’s just another part of him and getting an official diagnosis won’t actually do anything for him
he used to rock back and forth on his toes and bounce his leg a lot but that got a lot more painful after derry 2.0 so he’s had to adapt
he finds himself shaking his hands a lot more, and he still rocks when he’s sitting down
he chews on straws so much that eddie finally gets him one of those silicone ones and richie’s elated
he bites through it in a week
his tics mainly come out more when he’s stressed or intoxicated; they tend to lean more physical when stressed and verbal when he’s drunk or high and he doesn’t know why
his head/neck jerks so hard he strains muscles and he’s hit his chest with enough force to bruise before but he doesn’t try to avoid them because he knows it’ll only make it worse
when he’s drunk he does a lot of humming and whistling—he can perfectly mimic the tweet whistle/ringtone
he actually doesn’t have coprolalia, although he will absolutely blame his lack of filter on his tics if needed
the man did not know what ableism was until derry but now he calls the losers out all the time as a joke
he had a meltdown when mike called him
he spends so much of his time masking around other people that it was hard for him to drop it and he has meltdowns more frequently than he really should as a result
he’s finally started to relax around the losers like he used to, but some days he puts the wrong clothes on and he made the last of the cinnamon raisin toast last night when he got the munchies and there are too many dishes in the sink and when he tries to wash them the water gets inside of the gloves and everything’s just itch itch wet wrong bad and eddie finds him curled in a ball on the floor of the kitchen
when this happens, eddie makes sure richie has his phone so he can text if he wants and he gets the cinnamon raisin bread delivered and has richie change into comfier clothes when he’s ready to move and then they go watch a movie with richie’s head in eddie’s lap and everything is always loud loud loud in richie’s head but for a few minutes, at least, it’s quiet
#who said all of that…#anyway#if anyone uses braces or crutches and there’s anything wrong about what i said lmk#most of this is based on my own experience of disability but i do not use those aids!#richie tozier#eddie kaspbrak#reddie#bc i couldn’t talk about post derry and not include eddie w a spinal cord injury#autistic richie tozier#disabled eddie kaspbrak#disabled richie tozier

alright. look, we're going to go into this because i genuinely want to think you didn't mean harm by this, but it's unacceptable to use this sort of manipulative phrasing. especially with strangers, some of whom are kids.
this is not a call-out. i've hidden all names except my own. i just need to address this post i was tagged in, and don't want to add it onto the end of the original post. i could also have done this privately, but i want this to be here for the other folks who were @'d. i won't @ anyone else who was mentioned in this post, but many of us are mutuals, so if you see this post and you're feeling at all stressed out or bad, i recommend just clicking through because i'm going to go into this.
firstly, and i'm going to make this transparent, person who @'d me: i don't think you're being malicious or did anything purposefully bad. i don't think you intended harm or that you are "a bad person". i don't have a single negative thought about you as a person. i don't make this post to be mean. i truly think you made an earnest mistake that could easily have hurt others, and i am stepping in with the hope this can be avoided in the future! per my usual boundaries on reassurance seeking, i will not reassure about this further.
secondly, the post that you tacked this onto IS important and a helpful resource, and it is great to bring attention to it. we should be doing everything we can to not only defend against, but actively fight back against generative AI. many people cannot access the most commonly recommended tools (myself included), so a resource like this is fantastic and i'm glad to learn about it and share it! i don't speak for anyone else, but i've said before that i personally don't mind being tagged in resources that could help me or others and i'm usually happy to share them, especially if i think the latter
but, assuming that you are genuinely well meaning and don't know better, you need to know that this is not the way to go about it. i don't mean mass-tagging, which is fine in times like this imo, i mean your written add-ons that actively guilt trip every single person you tagged.
"if you weren't convinced by the idea of being a good person" and "I do hope anyone I @'d isn't a bad person" in particular.
you may not have realised, but these are profoundly manipulative and cruel things to say. regardless of how you intended them, they are inciting guilt in the reader, and especially in the people who you actively called to come and look at it. here's what it sounds like:
"hey! you! yeah you! come look at this!! come closer! now, do what i ask you to do, or you're a bad person."
there are a million and one reasons someone might not reblog something. being tired, offline, anxious, even needing to run a specifically professional blog with exclusively your art on it for your own financial survival which makes it hard to reblog important posts like this; none of those are bad.
in this case, only one thing makes them a "bad person", and it's "they're pro-generative AI and did not reblog because they want to hide this information to ensure they can continue stealing from creatives".
i'm fairly confident you don't actually think anyone you tagged here has that point of view, or that you really have any doubts about their stances on generative AI. in fact, of the folks i recognise here, they're all independent creatives, sharing artwork with fandom for free on the internet. they are the victims of generative AI, and like most of us, are facing a terrifying future and are already desperate to find a way to defend/fight back.
you do not need to use manipulative language like this to get us to care about this sort of content! this affects us all, content creators and content consumers alike!
in future if you want to direct folks to something like this, which is super helpful and it was good of you to do!, you can just @ them so they see it. you can even say something like "this is important and some reblogs would sure help to boost it!". this is still a call to action, but without the manipulative phrasing, just in case they cannot act for any reason.
in the end, guilt tripping people like this, intentional or otherwise, is dangerous.
at best it will make them feel like shit and they'll feel forced to reblog + share from you out of guilt rather than just believing in the cause. and sometimes it feels like it's most effective, especially when things are urgent; but in my opinion the risk of harm is just too high. because at worst, you could accidentally send someone into a negative thinking spiral. you can never know what people are going through offline, or outside of your spaces, and how something like this will hit them.
#idk what to tag this.#it's not really anything. glorified response. reassurance to those who were @'d.#i'll reblog the actual post with the tool itself after this because it was certainly useful!#please do check it out if you're in need of a more accessible anti-AI overlay tool!#reblogs are off because that's not the point and because i don't want this to... idk. get bigger.#i trust this was an accident and this person meant no harm. i trust they had good intentions. don't be mean. don't be mean.#i just want others tagged to know that they aren't bad people so i needed to address this publicly. it's hard. augh.#i know how this would have hit me a decade ago. i know some of the people tagged here are Going Through It. i know some are kids.#i just felt something needed to be said and i was willing to say it. if this is wrong or something feel free to lmk.

I'm still not entirely sure how to interpret "Sometimes I think that's okay and sometimes I think it's not." The obvious popular interpretation is, "The amount I miss him might not be okay," and that makes sense, but I also see "okay" as meaning "in a way I can deal with."
Less "I'm worried about how much I miss him," and more, "Some days I can handle him being gone and other times I am Not Doing Well about it"

i had to go look up what you're talking about lmao but like the anon was obviously a mean spirited asshole but you straight up asked people to tell you their opinion on your steve voice....
yk what anon i see where ur coming from but i also said be nice. and that's a real fucking easy thing to do. so you can fuck off too <3
#i would have accepted constructive criticism if it had been said in a nice way i rly would have#bc as you said i did say lmk how i did#However.#the tone and content of the comment were unnecessary and rude and them keeping their identity anonymous tells me they probs knew that#and i bet you do too!#and i'm just going to say this once in the tags For the Record:#i'm in general a pretty thick skinned person and the comment didn't shatter my self esteem or anything like that. i Like my steve pov thx#i'm just pissed off!#but if i was a new writer or even just someone who took things like that to heart a little more#this could have absolutely killed any writing motivation i had and made me want to quit.#and That is not constructive criticism. it's just straight up mean#so yeah i did allow room for opinions. but i don't think i invited abuse#and i'm not going to sit here and act like i did something wrong#peace and love on planet earth <3

So my brain basically functions only because of angst so I made some kind of AU??? about what could happen with Nuwa if she appears and stuff
I've always liked body horror and all that dark stuff so there's gonna be some of it here! It's not very explicit though. Just some small things that might point to it happening
So. It starts with Nuwa finding MK!! Or MK finding Nuwa first idk. Nuwa starts to like MK (PLATONIC) and MK really loves hanging out with Nuwa! So everything is great. They're some kind of friends or at least allies
However, Nuwa is still, well, a god, and MK is a mortal (as far as she knows at least). She may like him, but she can't care for him the way a mother would care for a child. She doesn't even know she's technically his mother yet!
So shit happens, blablabla, and Nuwa finds out MK is the little stone monkey she carved all those years ago. She gets very excited to see that her attempt at creating such a powerful lifeform like SWK actually worked and immediately goes to tell MK, who has some very mixed feelings about this
Eventually MK starts to sort out his feelings on all this and wants to have some mom and son bonding time! Just to see what'd it be like. Nuwa of course accepts, saying that she'd love to run some tests on him to see how alive he is and how stone he is. Nothing bad yet! Things are great!
So Sun Wukong finds out while MK is gone w Nuwa. He freaks out because "ohh shit why why why not AGAIN--" and speeds off to her lab or whatever she has to find her and MK. Turns out they're not there, but what is there are some very disgusting attempts at creating some kind of Monkey King clones?
So of course, Sun Wukong is disgusted. And also mildly traumatizing because there is a lot of beings who look so much like him and are literally mutilated. They have blobs all over their bodies and what they are is clear: failed attempts at creating a being as powerful as he is
He goes to explore a bit (ignoring how disgusting the whole scene is, because nope he is not dealing with the emotions this brings right now, MK needs help and he's gonna get it!) and finds some other failed attempts at life! Except that this time, they're not him. They're MK
Now, they don't all look that much like MK. Some of them are just broken stones and unhatched eggs. But the similarities are very obvious and easy to see and SWK does not like that
So basically, to summarize, Nuwa was going crazy while trying to find a way to create a weapon as strong as the Sage himself. There were many failed attempts (she first started by trying to make actual clones, then continued by making stone eggs which melted very painfully when they were born) but eventually, she finds a way
Nuwa realices that cloning the Monkey King won't work, but that maybe, just maybe, if she made something similar to him, it'd come to life safely. So instead of trying to create a second Monkey King, she decided to make some kind of weird sibling for him
MK wasn't the perfect being she wanted (that was obvious because while the egg she made was stable, it wasn't radiating the power Monkey King has), but he was the closest she got to creating actual life, so even if she decided to let him live, he was thrown out and ended up in FFM. Nuwa doesn't check on him because he's not the one she wanted. Or maybe she accidentally threw him out by idk, kicking him or smth and straight up didn't know he exists
So now MK has to deal with knowing that he's just a failed experiment and that he has thousands of siblings who didn't make it and died in painful and horrible ways. Hooray!
#idk shit about nuwa pls correct me if anything i said is wrong or offensive in some way#i do NOT wanna be offensive to chinese mythology at all#i do want nuwa to be an antagonist but not if it's like. bad :[#lmk#lego monkie kid#qi xiaotian#mk#nuwa#sun wukong#swk#the monkey king#body horror#not that much but eh#i need nuwa to be an antagonist PLEASE#i'd kill for that#let her be that evil god people were saying would be in season 5#avis' post

i’ve seen a bit of talk around the community about AG making less quality dolls and cutting corners. and like - you’re not imagining things, they absolutely are doing that. but there is a piece of this conversation that I think gets brushed over a lot, and i think it’s important: american girl dolls are cheaper then they used to be.
before you start telling me i’ve lost my mind, let’s look at some numbers. the original pleasant company dolls were manufactured in Germany and released in 1986; for a doll with her softcover book, the price was $68. “WAIT,” i hear you cry, “that’s less expensive!” however:
it’s actually pretty significantly MORE expensive.
even looking at the prices i remember from my own childhood:
not as much, but that’s still a bit more expensive that the ag dolls of today.
now, quite a few things have made this drop in cost possible. ag dolls are now produced in countries where labor markets are less regulated and therefore labor costs are cheaper (aka workers are able to be exploited for greater profits), modern tech has made some production processes faster and automated, and some materials are cheaper to acquire. however, ag has still absolutely lowered production quality as well. it’s hard to tell if they HAD to, but I would assume they did at least a bit, in order to keep the profit per doll at the same amount or increasing (which would be necessary to please investors, not have to do layoffs, etc.).
does that mean we should stop pointing out the flaws with newer dolls? no, absolutely not! what it DOES mean is that when we have discussions about ag’s decrease in quality, we ought to put those discussions in context.
this was prompted by a video on youtube that I just watched about ag’s quality control issues, which claimed the dolls are more expensive now than ever, and they are simply not. yes, they cost more United States Dollars than ever before, but the usd is worth less than what it used to be worth. even with the recent price increase, ag dolls are actually selling for less than they have for most of the brand’s history!
the reality is - ag can increase the price and make better quality dolls, or they can hold steady on the price and make lower quality dolls. they really do have to pick. and like. with the way people reacted when they increased the price recently, I’m pretty sure they’re going to be sticking with shrinkflation for a good few years coming up, whether you and I like it or not.
that does not, of course, mean they should not face criticism! they, like every other company choosing to lower quality rather than increase prices, are likely to try and get away with some nonsense. it is very tempting for companies to try and push lowered production costs as far as they can, but these dolls still cost $115! they should certainly still be high quality!
however, if you want the new dolls to be as high quality as the older dolls, you will likely be disappointed. I can’t think of any company that has willingly reversed course to have LESS of a profit margin without major pushback that would have eaten into their bottom line otherwise (stuff like perma panties).
this is a difficult conversation because the reality is, even with the cost dropping as inflation catches up, AG dolls are still quite expensive, and very inaccessible to most kids, and many adult collectors as well. i personally am happy that they’re slightly more accessible these days to the kids and collectors who love them (though wealth disparities in the us continue to increase, so are they actually accessible to any more people than they were back in the day when they were more expensive? idk), but im also stuck wishing they were a bit higher cost and higher quality, for my own personal enjoyment and collection.
sadly, there is no simple conclusion here. life is complicated. so are economies and the companies that participate in them. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ nonetheless, may you go forth and continue to write well-deserved criticisms with just a bit more context behind you.
#agblr#american girl#american girl dolls#my posts#this is kinda a weird one I know.#I want to be clear: this is a 100% genuine and sincere attempt to give people more context for their criticisms#NOT a passive aggressive attempt to get ppl to stop making criticism#NOR a vague callout for any specific person. I vaguely mentioned a yt video but I put a comment explaining this on the video itself too.#i just didn’t want to like. post the link or anything because it would feel weird an condescending.#my only intention here was to inform and I hope that came across. everyone may do with this information what they wish. including completely#ignore it! i don’t actually care if people are like ‘unfair’ to ag or whatever. it’s a company lmao it don’t have feelings#that said. I am not an economist. if I got something wrong here please lmk!

yesterday’s discussion is still knocking around in my brain… it’s weird how fbg can be so good at casually queer characters but still drop the ball so spectacularly on cultural representation.
maybe it’s easier to slip in a they/them or her wife or what have you, than to mention a character having to clean their house for pesach (Jewish holiday) or making sundubu jjigae (a Korean stew) or to not be so fucking weird about the past cities (especially the third city). but like… you can just google Jewish holidays and get lots of results for associated traditions. a few wikipedia clicks tell you what you need to make sundubu and when it originated. there’s lots of stuff out there about tropes to avoid when writing about Mesoamerican culture. this is just what I could come up with off the top of my head.
it just feels lazy tbh. there’s room for squid people in your game but so many real people get left out or misrepresented? hhhhhh.
#negative#aelan speaks#i am not the best person to speak on this but it bothers me#if i said anything wrong/insensitive lmk#mask of the rose makes me more nervous than excited because it looks like they’re making an effort to change this but uh.#their efforts kinda suck a lot of the time. to be quite honest.

enjoy being in a stolen group
i never saw you answer when the admins asked this, so i went to them and asked if you ever followed up and they said you didn't respond after they asked for more context either, so i will also sincerely ask here: which group do you mean, and what makes you say that? i’ve been writing and adminning in tumblr rps since 2014? 2015?, so there's a decent chance i’ll know what or who you’re talking about too. like, if something did get stolen, i'd want to understand what happened, not just be told thru anons etc
#sol plots / spn plots / island plots / subplot based plots have been around since 2015#i ran a sol spn island vibe rp 2 years ago#i ran a spn island based group centered around subplots around 2015#but hashtag 90s kids remember when they were called pairs rp#if it’s something else i haven’t covered pls lmk! but otherwise i don’t see anything different than#when secrets / idolverse / spn / celebrity / rich kids vibes strike me as familiar in the tags#idk these admins i’m only here to write so i have no stakes in this argument except that this was#one of the few groups in the tags (which tumblrwise have already been dwindling in numbers since people thought talk blogs would be hip to#bring back) that looked like a stable place i could write#and maybe you’ll prove me wrong if you message me because you have irrefutable proof but i’ll take that#over these anons i assume you’ve sent to other people too#like i genuinely want to know so tell me ? like sincerely i want to know where you’re coming from#communicating through anons reminds me too much of those talk blogs and they were already one of the main reasons the community has#gone quieter so if there’s really an issue then talk to me or talk to the admins . Like actually talk#bc if its a problem we can clear up then great lets do that. whatever way it ends i will genuinely accept#i just don’t want this to be another poke in this already deflating community . some ppl (me) still have realities to escape thru writing#ykwim#i said 'since 2015' at the start of this but i really mean since probably even before that etc etc#anyway i say this in the most unironic way possible. hmu

this meme omg it's so funny and so accurate
q) if someone told you they fell down during a race, what would be an appropriate empathetic response?
1) you're so pathetic (kibum)
2) i'm good at running (taemin)
3) it's because you don't exercise enough (minho)
4) that must've been so embarrassing. are you hurt? (jonghyun)
they also said the person who would fall would be jinki loll (i forgot to save the link for credit but i found it searching 샤이니짤)
#it's actually crazy how accurate it is#like i swear they've said these things before#shinee#shawol#shinee meme#jonghyun#kim kibum#choi minho#lee taemin#onew#lee jinki#shinee key#my translation isn't the best i did it while talking to my friends lmk if anything is wrong
