“they are very annoying and irritating” are you familiar with the concept of fun and being entertained by drama

truly at the end of the day its all about receiving validation

GODDD... GUYS IM BECOMING A RICKXDIANE TRUTHER

NEVER HAD ANYTHING AGAINST IT- IT WAS JUST THAT LIKE. before they didn't add too much substance to diane beyond 'dead wife trope haha' and the little hints of her that would get past both ricks avoidance of the topic and just the show being unable to fully dive into her as a character. and being able to have a little glimpse into her this episode has be like. raving for more bro she was so adkgjhkfd

kinda tired of constructive criticism in media. stop making actual arguments about things, can i just hear honest I LOVE IT and I HATE IT or at least i like it and i dislike/didnt care. stop rationalize. if i read another one "umm objectively speaking" i will eat myself to the bone and will live free as proud skeletony boi.

my Thoughts on like, normals character and where he's going btw are highly based on his own flaws and like. idk ive kinda seen both sides (normal is a baby and must be protected versus normal needed this ego blow because he was getting too into his head) and I think it's maybe more nuanced than that? cause the thing is. normal is RIGHT to think that his side of things are the morally correct side. he's the one whose seen what the doodler wants and fears and where it came from, he had more perspective on the quest than any of the other teens and I'm not arguing otherwise because it'd be silly. it's HOW he's going about it that puts him firmly into the, "teen character is going to fuck up because they're a teenager" category: as much as he does genuinely try, he's not good at connecting to other people and he does put himself on this pedestal of "i know better and therefore im the best" that isn't exactly the MOST healthy mindset, as a self-proclaimed leader.

that being said, I absolutely understand where he's coming from in this episode in a very. he is hurting and lashing out kind of way? we know why scary is acting the way she is (her own past with her dad + willy trauma=she's still looking for the trauma that justifies her inner darkness) and we know why link is acting the way he is (he's hurt and scared and he never asked for this and he just wants to ensure that he's not the one actively hurting people, he never forgave himself for the casualties of ep2 and the last thing he wants is to add more) and one of normals flaws is his pride, the way he's so sure of what he's doing, he's the best for this and of COURSE it's the right way, he knows that!!!

but he can't empathize with scary right now. very specifically he cannot empathise with her because he can't trust her. and if he can't trust link he can't empathize with him either. normal does view himself as the reason the team is together, and I think that's why he was suddenly on board with kicking scary out when before he was so deadset on helping her: if he personally can't trust anyone, does he really have a team he can lead?

that being said, the shots taken on him recently have been sooo low in comparison. scary has done nothing but bully normal since they reunited. link has been sassy and snippy with normal even since ep26 and it's only gotten worse. normal and taylor don't really have much of a relationship outside the teen friendship circle in general. hermie is angry at normal- and I kinda agree with will that it should NOT solely be up to the players to remember anthony's fucking npc, as funny as it is. as much as I want normal to listen and understand and empathize with scary and link both, it IS a little frustrating when in comparison normals been fucking tanked at every opportunity by the other players- and link's line to normal after he found out about hero actually made me so upset on normal's behalf like dude.

I'm still on the boat that normal should get and deserves a mild villain arc. I desperately want him to team up with hermie and go to the goofs realm alone. I think it might be good for him- both to have a solo adventure with hermie and to have a solo adventure in general, so he can find out why he loves having friends so much. and I think him going through a villain arc would be so narratively compelling, because again, he's not WRONG about the path they should be taking: it isn't underestimating links personal trauma to admit that normal is actually right and he's just so bad at following through. it's just kinda a little tiring sometimes when normal actually does his best to keep the group together and it doesn't work (looking at episode 27 in particular) or when he tries to bury that oak family generational anger the way sparrow and henry do. let him be angry!!!

you can also immediately tell if theyre a faker or an enabler bc they say anything along the lines of "I'd rather 100s of fakers use medical resoirces than even 1 actually diagnosed person not get help" or "fakeclaiming is actually way more harmful than spreading misinformation and taking up resources." this goes for any single disorder but esp Dissociative ones.

they convienently forget that those hundreds of fakers ARE MAKING IT SO HUNDREDS OF ACTUAL VICTIMS GO WITHOUT HELP.

theyre making it so that HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS REFUSE TO SEEK A DIAGNOSIS BECAUSE OF THE MOCKERY YOURE MAKING OF IT.

that they make it so that HUNDREDS OF VICTIMS face even more stigma over a disorder that EVEN MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS DO NOT BELIEVE EXISTS.

****you*** are the reason this stigma exists. ****you**** are the reason resources for dissociation is so horrible and hard to find. ****you**** are the reason medical professionals dont believe we exist.

because of your entilted woe is always me bullshit.

people really love to conveniently forget trans men exist when they talk about feminism. or if they dont they make us out as also part of the problem as if we somehow are able to have the same amount of privilege as cis men. absolutely wild

waiting for a guy to call you back is such An Experience ™️

im gonna answer the other ask later but TRANSFEM SCARY I WAS. ALSO THINKING HBBBGNN

The post that goes "maybe it seems pretentious to you because you only watch bluey," but this time including the inverse "maybe you only think bluey is 'deep and meaningful for a kids show' because it's the only kids show you watch."

tfw you work in a college town and every time you go into work you hear your terminally online zoomer coworkers say some bullshit about how they're pretty sure they have [X disability / Y mental disorder] because they have [single symptom that has virtually nothing to do with the disorder] and meanwhile you actually have the disorder and have been diagnosed and treated for it because it severely negatively affects your life and you just have to stand there like 🙃 because if you said what you really think you'd be fired immediately

Pramanix and Platinum share a birthday, apparently (thanks @dr-koni !). What would it look like for Enya to greet her birthday buddy? Thanks you!

"Fucking Kal'tsit, gimme a fucking -- !?"

"Oh, hello."

"Sorry. Didn't mean to bother you. I didn't -"

" - think anyone would be up here? That's why I like it. Coffee?"

"...Sure, why not."

***

"You know, they can't find you here."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Whoever you're hiding from. And no, I don't mean up here on the landing. I mean at Rhodes."

"You don't know who - you don't know anything about me."

"Maybe not. But I know what it's like to be a victim of circumstance. To be trapped between choices of bad, and worse. To be stuck turning and turning and never seeing a way out."

"Hiding isn't going to make the problems go away."

"...No. But for a while you can pretend they aren't as pressing. And the coffee helps with that too."

"...Oh fuck, that is good coffee."

"Thank you!"

This isn't a hot take, but people who think cis people who have explored their identity are less of a man/woman because of it are wild? Wouldn't that just make them more of a man or woman? Like, they double checked bro

i hate car centric infrastructure but most of all i hate how people have been conditioned to think its the only way
