white ppl have no concept of the pain of finding a community that you belong to and then discovering the deeply entrenched racism in said community

I hate you social media. I hate you "content creation" I hate you algorithms I hate you ideal posting times I hate you posting 5 times a day I hate you unavoidable engagement statistics. I hate you art advice that's to simplify, consider how well it will sell, make it a product, get on trends, trends trends trends! I hate the advice to go viral!

I'm sick of the grind I'm sick of "content creation" I'm sick of side hustles and small business! I'm sick of being profitable!!! I just want to post my art and talk to people about art!!!!!!!!!!!

Hazel and Nico being born almost exactly one month apart is so funny to me, especially since they both have winter birthdays, cause it implies Hades just had one very rough spring of missing Persephone really bad

It is endlessly exhausting getting online and having allistic people be like "No,sorry I know they're your favorite canon autistic character but they're boring to me so I've decided they're made of harmful stereotypes and you're basic." Like??? I saw a whole thread about Ty Blackthorn that said he was a boring,walking stereotype because he has his headphones in reach a lot of the time. Yes?? He's an autistic person with sensory issues who lives with nine people (the least amount he lives with,there's more at other times) and he constantly has government officials popping in magically,without warning. I'd want my headphones with me too??

We can talk about the Sherlock thing but the stimming? The headphones?? The meltdowns in COHF after his entire routine changed,he had to move and he lost three family members?? The not understanding Kit liked him because he didn't pick up on flushing and looking away and quality time as a social cue for a crush?? Believable! Likely,even!

"Why is he doing *all these things autistic people commonly do*? Shouldn't he be ✨different✨?" He has autistic traits because he's autistic!! Hope this helps:)

I'm just going to rant, and just can never make an eloquently written post, but man do I fucking hate people. I hate the absolute entitlement of some astarion players/stans. I hate how we can't complain about the blatant favoritism astarion gets compared to everyone else. I want to be excited for patches, for new content, but I can't.

"Everyone's getting new kisses why are you all so upset??"

Because Minthara literally doesn't work? Because Karlach barely has a story? Because Wyll's entire story was reworked and wasn't ready for RELEASE (if his story even had more content still being worked on let's be real)?

Obviously, bugs and crashes need to be resolved. But I don't think we need any QoL updates like kisses or hugs until everyone is fleshed out entirely or just fucking works.

This isn't a diss against all Astarion fans, many of you are wonderful and also are aware of this whole thing. I'm just sick of being told to essentially just shut up.

Can we please stop making fun of the looks of trans people within the damn trans community? Can we stop telling trans men that testosterone turns us into the ugliest things on Earth and trans women that they're nothing if they don't uphold the incredibly high standard of femininity? Can we stop holding enby people up to a scale depending on their agab to see if their gender expression is Correct Enough to be trans enough?

Can we stop shitting on fat trans people?

Please? It's not like the cis people are going to do it for us, and I'm tired of being treated like my body is barely even tolerable and much less something to be celebrated.

grief is so debilitating. i want to kill anyone who ever talks to me about moving on when the loss only ever becomes more apparent in your life the more time passes

infuriating how the right-wing bias against women in the west means that many women will only be elected if enough right-wing constituents vote for them, aka. they need to be conservative or support right-wing ideals to even be considered, leading to us electing only the stupidest and most corrupt women, which means they fail every time. margaret thatcher, hillary clinton, liz truss, and even kamala harris have all held right-wing beliefs; in the same way that corporate "boys' clubs" only allow women to join if they "fit into the company culture," the majority of our female leaders have been just as awful as their male counterparts. in this essay i will

The fact we’re stuck listening to Blue like this for another week, i don’t know if i can do it

// Sick of people saying "he did [ horrible thing ] but it's okay cause he's gay"

// "She did this" "What the fuck thats messed up" "No, it's okay, she's a lesbian, she must be protected at all costs"

// Stop excusing a person or character's bad actions just cause they're queer or something.

People who only like things and don't reblog anything are cowards

imo some of you are being kinda dickish in light of practically confirmed buddie canon - if not endgame - news, and especially since buck was confirmed bi. like. would you for the love of fuck stop shitting on people who doubted or continue to doubt? like??? you're not special because you believed it would happen. you're not better than other people who enjoy the exact same fuckin content as you for it. half of my dash is just posts about how people who don't want to believe it will happen are fucking morons.

get the fuck over yourselves lol

some of you motherfuckers are too comfortable reblogging "reblog artist's art!" posts and then only leaving likes when artists do actually post art. something to think about

you are allowed to wholeheartedly enjoy romance and chick-lit and fanfiction. if these types of writing are partly or exclusively what you read, your hobby of reading is still entirely valid. anyone who tries to belittle you because of the genres you enjoy is a total loser
