Sometimes writing is a beautiful and liberating balm for your soul. It soothes and relaxes you. All stress is poured out onto the page in a gently flowing catharsis.

Other times writing is like having your teeth pulled out one by one by a 19th century dentist without anesthesia

#guess which one I’m going through right now #renkonnairu #writing #ao3 #this is just fan fiction #it shouldn’t be this hard #but it is

If I see another fanfic not labeled properly I’m going to peel my skin off

My night in a nutshell:

Me going on tumblr after a long day at work to read a nice girthy dom top male x character and see a lot of results

Me seeing my filter work and filter out all the fem readers like I asked even tho I searched male reader and there aren’t a lot of results anymore

Me seeing fem SUB BOTTOM reader NOT labeled properly

Me when I see they make the fem reader a uwu baby cutesy child like and small but is “different from the other girls” getting railed to oblivion by their 7’11 boyfriend who is an alpha wolf type even though I LITERALLY SEARCHED TOP MALE READER

Me finally seeing male reader tags

They are highly feminine and are petite little babies that like to sit on their boyfriends lap when I again searched top male reader (I’m 200 pounds and almost 6 foot masculine t man I want someone sitting on MY lap)

Me seeing some trans male reader having some hope for the fic

They are subby and haven’t had bottom surgery yet(which is fine) BUT they loved to be railed from the front and one of his kinks is being MISGENDERED. Which believe me your gonna find this crazy THE FIC IS ALSO NOT LABELED PROPERLY.

Me realizing I have to start writing again because I am the last few people on planet earth that doesn’t do sub readers especially fem

Moral of the story label your work correctly some of us don’t want to see that. Thank you and have a nice day. Also I might not do fem readers anymore or I might but do a few, I sort of want this to be a mlm and nblm type of page but we’ll see how that goes.

I’m not even close to the first person to say this, but technology is getting worse at a frightening rate. It’s gussied up to look better, with fancy graphics and touch screens where user interfaces should go, but I have less and less interactions with technology that don’t end with me frustrated or disgusted.

Most recently, I had to get a new laptop and it camed prepackaged with Windows 11. Just like anyone else with any sense I’ve been putting off upgrading from ten for months and while I have a good copy of 10 to downgrade to, I just wanted to hop on and start getting some shit done.

Motherfuckers blocked me from running ninite. Not just that, the default is to block any software that doesn’t come from the Microsoft store. The corporations who create technology aren’t just trying to sand off rough edges, they’re trying to flatten everything into a single flat plane and leaving nothing but sawdust behind.

I know that I could downgrade, or switch to linux or whatever, but that feels like a temporary solution at this point. This is happening everywhere. With Twitter crumbling and facebook blocking ill defined “sensitive” content without recourse, it feels like online habitats are undergoing deforestation. You have to go farther and farther afield to access functionality that was basic and low hanging ten years ago. How the hell does progress look like walling us all into smaller and smaller walled gardens?

I have no idea how to fix any of this. It feels very much beyond individual action, but I don’t even know how you would organize anything collective to stop it. It just sits on my mind, filling me with despair along with the Canadian smoke darkening the skies, and the resurgent fascism cropping up the world over.

I wish I could have hope that things will get better, but my entire life has been a confluence of ineptitude, malevolence and commercial interests making things worse. Technology sucks, and just like everything else, it makes me sad.

#bitching #whining #problems without solutions #Windows 11 #Windows 11 sucks #tech sucks #walled garden #I got ninite working #that's not the point #it shouldn’t be this hard

i wish i wouldn’t feel guilty about wanting to be wanted

#it shouldn’t be this hard #like why can’t i allow myself to admit it #and act upon it #why do i always have to be the strong and supportive one #i am tired #i want to lean on someone for once and feel like i am being taken cared of #sorry #rambling

This is a friendly reminder that you can support Palestine and Jewish people at the same time. I am absolutely by no means an expert, but…

It is absolutely free Palestine, 150%

The two aren’t mutually exclusive, and Judaism is notttt Zionism. They do get unfairly twisted together, but they are not the same.

You can be for Palestine and call out antisemitism, both at once. You can do both and be against the Israeli government.

Israel has been ILLEGALLY occupying and trying to ethnically cleanse Palestine for decades, that is the issue.

#it shouldn’t be this hard #you can do both #free palestine

Gold star day today. Met with a new doctor who immediately acknowledged my pain, affirmed that I have taken every action available to me in my attempts to seek treatment, recognized that previous doctors didn’t take my history into account or offer viable solutions, and immediately offered me the treatment option I thought I’d have to fight for (and one that seemed so far from a possibility I wasn’t even planning to bring it up). So much relief. I still have tons of health issues, including the new one that popped up recently, but it’s amazing the difference a competent and empathetic doctor can make.

#I teared up with relief multiple times today #it shouldn’t be this hard

My problem when I write porn is that I am—in my soul, in my hidden heart of hearts—a prude.

So after every line I have to like, hurriedly push the fic under my bed and not think about it for 5-10 days.

#i swear I am going to get this fic written if it’s THE LAST THING I DOOOOO!!!#it is Jason Todd and Bao Pham #and pwp #IT SHOULDN’T BE THIS HARD #(lol twhs)#(*spontaneously combusts*)#look…if you enjoy the aesthetics of Giant Man Jason Todd…#…and a slim and slightly younger pretty boy…#but you DON’T enjoy the traditional fandom choice (for whatever reason)…#HAAAAAVE you considered Bao Pham aka Clownhunter????#just slot that boy right in (heh).#jayhunter is the waaaaave of the future.#you heard it here first folks.#hmm I might make a ship post of this lol.#i called Dickstroke #now I’m callin Jayhunter

a challenge is a challenge. An adult could have as hard as a time.

I'm sorry for having a shit metaphor, but it's about your work. tests fuckin suck but you did ok.

Failing at a task isn't failing as a person.

But it shouldn't have been challenging. I've been doing math related classwork almost every day at least 5 hours a day. There's no excuse! The test shouldn't have sucked. I even felt confident in doing it! Clearly I shouldn't trust my instincts anymore. No, failing at a task isn't failing as a person, but it still feels just as bad. It's still a failure. Where I'm trying to get into, you can't afford to fail.

#bluey's mad at herself #bluey's nonsense #bluey's beyond confused #bluey's vents #bluey's confused #bluey's fumbling here #bluey's sad posts #bluey's mutuals #bluey's asks #bluey's at a weird place #bluey's rants #bluey's rambling #bluey's emotions #it shouldn’t be this hard #but no #i had to be the one that can't understand #they aren't going to care how hard im trying #they only want the numbers and right now my numbers are awful

It should not be this hard just to not be in pain.

#chronic pain #chronic migraine #chronic illness #im just #it’s almost midnight and I’m crying #it shouldn’t be this hard #it shouldn’t take fighting our country’s medical system #like I’d really rather not hurt at all if I had the choice #if I could flip a switch and be better forever I’d take that in a heartbeat #but it shouldn’t take fighting pharmacies to have a quality of life #I’m 24 now and I’ve been disabled since I was 17 #and for a while things were at least stable #but now it feels like I’m back at the start and nothing is better #I don’t know how to cope with this #I don’t know if I can cope with this #I don’t know what options I have left if this drug doesn’t work or I can’t get it #if there’s a tag limit still I’m probably getting there #but fuck I’m so tired
