#or even just normal casual conversation
Text
my advice for anyone whos growing more and more frustrated with the state of aftg and fandom at large is that arguing is fun but you need to be happy. ok. you need to. its hard when bad faith takes are dropped to your doorstep but you need to be happy and enjoy yourself and have fun or there's no point in anything at all ever. ok. fandom is not real and nothing is worth more than your enjoyment. i love you please make sure to have fun and reach out to a friend today. for me
#this goes doubly for fans of color if i'm honest#i say this bc a lot of my mutuals either currently or in the past have been very upset about how the fandom acts#and ive Done My Rounds with that ok#ive survived great wars even. and they did not make me happy#yes i was right and yes i should have said it but ultimately there was no material harm to choosing to have fun instead#lifes hard as it is in the real world where real things happen why would you waste your precious fun time on fighting crusades#and trust me i understand deeply the wish to fight crusades. Ive Fought Them. it got me hate mail and#an overall loss of passion for something i held sincerely in my heart#theres nothing more worthy than your enjoyment im serious. none of this is real and the world is hard out there#you need to get a good thing while u can#i dont remember a single time where ive actually felt vindicated by arguing with people online about. anything really but even more so aftg#but i remember in perfect and fond detail every time the (now defunct) kandreil discord server came up with an au#or even just normal casual conversation#i remember asks i got years ago about kevin day hcs that i hardly even agree with now but still love#trust me you will Not remember these squabbles what you will remember is what you loved and if youre lucky thats a lot of memories#so have fun ok. for me#txt

The fact that all Gwen knows about her variants in other universes is that they're dead is so sad. Like imagine you want to know what happens to you in other dimensions and it turns out that wherever you look you mean nothing, you're so unimportant that there's no bigger role for you other than dying.
And I've seen you guys pointing this out, where she's looking at what looks like her own death and even if it's not this is not just a "love interest" Gwen, this is a superhero who is supposed to mean something, but she doesn't. She's only here to die. And so far this (our) Gwen doesn't have any reason to believe that she won't die very soon just like other Gwens.
I think that one of the main reasons why she's rejecting Miles is not just her trauma and all shit she's been through and the fear of dying like other Gwens when they're involved with Spider-Man, but also because if they start something and she dies this will hurt him too.
It's easy to say "canon events aren't true she shouldn't believe in that" but this isn't just a regular risk, this is her life we're talking about.
#my baby just wanted to stay alive#her death just casually appeared above her head and she's expected to continue the conversation normally#and it doesn't look like she died peacefully at all look at her#spider man across the spider verse#Spiderverse#across the spiderverse#gwen stacy#spider woman#spider gwen#ghost spider#to anyone who says that this is kravens last hunt he injured peter badly in that comic almost killed him#but that doesn't mean that she won't die either in hands of kraven or anybody else#or that this is just one canon event she has more but as far as she knows she'll die if she touches spider man or just die like that#but I'm not sure if it's even kravens last hunt pic she doesn't look well here either way#to me it looks like she's hurt here I didn't think about other possibilities until y'all said it could be but it's sus i think she's hurt

insane to me that people will read adam and ronan’s interactions and then believe they’d talk to one another in an overly gooey/cutesy way. you can’t watch them reserve each other’s first names for emotionally charged moments ONLY and then tell me they’d call each other baby unironically. they’re too pretentious, the only way they’re going to be sappy with words is if it’s ironic or in latin otherwise they’ll both die
#it feels so wrong whenever ppl write them giving each other cute nicknames that aren’t like. shithead ♥️#they don’t even say i love you like normal people they have to use latin or it’s dropped casually in conversation and never mentioned again#like. spoken english is not their native tongue in that relationship. it’s gestures of affection first and latin second#sorry 2 offend u can write them how you want. i’m just saying they’re built different your honour ♥️#pynch

more fanart for my own aus!!
This is for the Bet on the Crown au, where i posted a story a while ago with Ranboo nomming Tubbo, and, cause I love glowy noms, I felt the need to draw Tommy nomming him next hskslsjsh
This is not nearly as normal for Tommy as it is for Ranboo and Tubbo, but Tubbo wanted to see what it was like with Tommy instead of his husband, and Tom is in their country so Tubbo basically gaslit him into thinking it was part of his culture and he’d take personal offense if Tommy didn’t eat him.
It’s definitely not, as i explained here faes get eaten and killed a lot for their magic so it’s usually really really bad, and Ranboo explains that to Tommy soon after the fact, but both princes find it pretty funny how uncomfortable Tommy is
Meanwhile Tom is not having a good time
As much as I love glowy noms, I’m not great at drawing them, so have some alternates and an explination of some random shit under the cut
Ok so as I was re-reading this story (which is the aforementioned glowy nom story with Ranboo and Tubbo), I made a lot of mention of Tommy seeing Tubbo’s silhouette from in Ranboo’s storage pouch, but as I have learned recently that’s not how stomachs work (aka I saw a video where someone swallowed a flashlight and that’s my only reference for drawing this stuff)
the other problem is that in that video there obviously wasn’t a white or yellow light brightly glowing; it was a red/orange hue that was very muffled cause humans obviously have layers of skin and organs.
So basically, because I’m mentally i’ll and have to have everything make sense, what that means for Ranboo is that he and Endermen as a whole in this au have very thin skin that’s combined with their muscles, making them very vulnerable, making their teleportation, teeth, and claws, their only form of protection. Thai is why they as a species picked up magic in the form of spells and potion making. But anyway, this is why Tommy can see an outline of Tubbo through Ranboo but there’s no silhouette when Tommy noms him, and also why Tubbo’s green glow can shine through his skin: it’s like holding a flashlight to a slightly thicker than average plastic bag.
Anyway since Tommy is human and has normal human organs, muscles, and skin, Tubbo should not be making the green glow in the picture above. However, i can’t think of an excuse for this one, so i said fuck it.
If we’re going with actual human anatomy, Tommy’s stomach should glow red-ish, but also depending on how close Tubbo is to the front of his stomach or may also have a green hue if he’s pressed up far enough?? idk i’m absolutely bullshitting here so here’s some alternatives that i based around logic
ok last thing i promise but also in the story i mentioned that Ranboo could nom Tubbo cause he had a storage pouch, which Tommy obviously doesn’t have, so for my own sanity’s sake assume that Ranboo makes
#i’m literally insane#also this drawing has been mostly done for months i just couldn’t get the glowy shit down but i’ve given up#also also#Ranboo’s explination to Tom that this is not normal for faes and Tubbo is just weird is actually a really important conversation#Tommy was always raised with humans#and humans have no idea how bad magic folk have it#Tommy had no idea fae were poached for their magic until Ranboo told him#and even then Ranboo said it so casually#as if it was normal#which for him and Tubbo it kind of is#even Ranboo constantly faces harassment and exclusion from other people because of his species ‘being scary’#it’s just something they have to live with#this is a big stepping stone for Tommy making L’manberg a magic safe and inclusive place#even if his citizens might be against it at first#cyncerity#mcyt g/t#mcyt gt#bet on the crown au#tw vore#giant!tommy#giant!ranboo#tiny!tubbo#dsmp g/t#g/t vore#soft vore#safe vore#dsmp vore#must make BotC Ranboo as gnc as possibly everytime i draw them btw#this is very important to me

i fucking love how at first glance tatsumi is supposed to be the normal one in alkaloid, he is the most responsible one, always level headed, a reassuring presence, constantly supporting his unit mates etc. and then you look the tiniest bit closer and it’s like. oh honey, you’re so fucked up
#dude will casually say ‘’I too would gladly be nailed to a cross if my death could solve everything’’ in a conversation#(but he also says he doesn’t believe in self sacrifice!!!!!! like do you Get It??)#also he should not be allowed to drive a car#anyways. i do love it when the normal one. isn’t. normal#enstars#kazehaya tatsumi#like even his singin voice. the other three all have some kind of quirk but tatsumi’s I wouldn’t know how to describe. just normal#or maybe this is just me?

I don't understand how youtubers can write a script and not edit out the times that they repeat the same information sometimes literally in the same sentence. It drives me insane. Do you not hear yourself? You just said the same thing twice. Why did you write it like that? Please. You're killing me. Sometimes TV voice overs do the same thing. Why did you not have someone look over your script before you said it? It only bothers me on broadcasted speeches, when people have the oppertunity to edit and choose not to.
#my brain: its not efficient enough. let me rewrite it for you. if u tell me the same thing twice ill kill u#sometimes just just repeating the same word. like they tried to shelter from the storm but where they stood there was no where to escape#the storm. you could have just said there was no where to escape. why did u repeat storm twice???? drives me insane#cruel world happy mind does this other thing where she says the same thing in the same sentence or repeats the same info twice#i cant even think of an example. its such a weird way to structure information sharing and it drives me crazy#this is my toxic trait. wanted to control the way ppl speak so its more efficient. bc im insane#like??? do they not hear how awkward it sounds???#unrelated#repeating things in casual conversation? fine that's normal. but when u r trying to official distribution info? no hate it

i gotta admit i'm so jealous of people who can enjoy things a normal amount without letting said enjoyment consume every aspect of their existence . i don't think i'm capable of it . when i was like seven i spent half a year religiously watching hundreds of videos of michael jackson at every opportunity just because i liked one of his albums . i don't fully understand what it means to be a casual fan . i don't know what it's like to love something without letting it destroy me .
#thinking of a conversation i had with a friend where she was talking about a film trilogy she loves and i was so surprised because#she had never really mentioned it and i probed further to see if she was involved in fandom or at the very least had merch or something#and she was like no i love it but i'll just rewatch it from time to time that's it. it blew my entire head off like obviously i knew it#was an option but i have never been able to be normal and casual and chill about the things i like#i don't even know what sparked this maybe i'm just feeling freakish and unloveable maybe im a creep im a weirdo what da hell am i doin here#.txt

Just casually made plans to hang out with someone I barely spoke to in high school because they posted a pic of their new tattoo and I commented saying it was cool. Not to sound depressing but I literally haven’t had friends or anyone to really hang out with in like close to 3-4 years now and I am freaking out??? How do you friend??? I haven’t had to friend in so long I forgot how to do it?????? What if I friend badly??? I’m gonna throw up
#listen listen I’m sitting in class and trying so hard to be normal but#I’m not handling this well#it was just a conversation about how cool their tattoo is#they just offered to get coffee so casually and I don’t have a reason to say no so I said yes but I don’t hang out with people#I ended high school and started university in a pandemic bro I don’t have friends???#I mean obviously I’m cool with this person but literally the last time we spoke was probably a year ago and they just??? want to hang out???#I’m being so stupid about this I know I am but like this isn’t even someone I’ve hung out with before like this isn’t a rekindling situation#why did I agree to this??

i dont know how to word this in a smarter less whiny way but theres such a specific grief that comes with growing up without friends let alone other gay or trans ones and growing up undesirable to anyone who isnt a chaser thrice your age and unable to transition just For The Foreseeable Future and then finding out people generally get to experience atleast one of them and do not trust you if you havent as well
#doubly when you get like brief chances at meeting people like that & then people dont know how to approach you because of all that#idk god i cant stop thinking about stories of people being met with love at prides because they were alone and looked lost & comparing it#to finally getting to go to one pride and spending the majority of it crying alone because everyone else had their friends#or people casually mentioning they live in places with multiple gay clubs and gsas and shit like that#i don’t know. i wish i had the choice of an ‘embarrassing gsa’ over what ive had to do just to talk to other gay people in this county#& it’s not that i don’t try to make the first move even when it’s a nightmare it’s that people register i’m Actually Weird#And Lonely And Can’t Mask Autism and lose patience#& i don’t know how i’m supposed to convince myself that’s not on me because someone who hasn’t really gotten to have normal conversations#isn’t optimal to talk to even if they’re ‘easy to talk to’#i don’t know. i don’t think about other people like this but i don’t know if that’s also weird if people generally seem to

ive been putting off writing this Ling & Greed character analysis essay for like a year, im at least in the note taking portion. i needed to flip thru a couple volumes with them but i got too excited seeing their interactions with others and felt this godly desire to finally start it since i have Oh So Many thoughts about their characters and im tired of them all being inside me. just their parallels alone could take me a day to get all this shit out
#fma#ling yao#greed fma#this isnt about shipping i dont do shipping. especially with them. fuck off#i have some problems with their arcs as well like i wish we got to see some casual bonding between them#ling is one of greeds best friends but we never really get to see them talking normally to each other#i wanted to see more interactions not just bc theyre entertaining to see speak to each other#but also so we could see more of their friendship beyond the necessary scenes to get a better sense of their bond#i understand fma is about ed and al's journey and its a super tight story as is#but i still think even one tiny scene with them talking about how their dads suck would be good enough#there are hints and implications that they do talk more but please... just one semi-casual conversation is all i want#admittidly this is just me craving more of my favorite characters#but i do genuinely think this is a tiny issue in fma

genuine question: is it normal to have consistent nightmares your entire life about your parents trying to hurt you and you trying to escape them?
because i can see this being completely normal OR not normal at all, and I really genuinely cannot tell which it is.
"does it matter?" not really I guess, but I would like to know so I know if I should avoid joking abt the nightmares I have in casual conversation bc it'll be considered traumadumping or if its normal and I can mention them lmao
#it is hard to know what's okay or not okay to bring up casually in conversation anymore#bc sometimes smth will be fine and sometimes ppl will be horrified and concerned or angry at me for it#and accuse me of traumadumping even though i thought smth was... normal fjfkdl#i just have genuinely no idea what is normal or not anymore and i would appreciate a bit of help w this one#bc i cant ask some other ppl rn so... opening it up to tumblr now ig RIP#i feel like this is going to be super obvious and seem like im attention seeking but#its one of those things where im sure the answer is obvious. i just genuinely can't figure out which direction its obvious in#is it obviously normal? or is it obviously not normal? idk but it feels like it's on one end of this obviousness spectrum#pippen needs 2nd breakfast

bro shout out to ME. i was at lunch, my halfway friend got in line and i hate being alone in the cafeteria so i was with him. and he wasnt saying anything and i asked how his day was and he shrugged. and then i caught sight of the fire alarm behind him and decided to tell him “i wonder what it would be like to actually pull the fire alarm” and he looked at me like i was fucking crazy. took everything in me not to shove him.
#''you always say the most random shit'' yes. because you are not talking. i literally have to carry because you are so boring#bitch wears grey tracksuits and crocs everyday and thinks its a fit like tf#fuck highschool man. like he looked at me like i grew a fucking arm#this is normal casual conversation i thought#''well you're not talking''#'well i dont want to talk'' OK? just say that instead of telling me im fucking weird#anyway#i did not have a good 30 mibutes of lunch i sat in the cafeteria and read alone with burning anxiety#quite literallytold me i was fucking weird btw#like ok#what do i even want friends at school for im misunderstood#🙄

ffff FLAILS AROUND
#AAAAAAAA okay okay rainy lore time i guess#one time i needed to talk to someone to help me get my spotify gift card to work because i obviously Cannot Read#and the person greeted me by saying like ‘hello Destiny’ or something#and of course i was confused but then i remembered that my account name is destinyboard#so i guess the person could assume that was my name idk >_<#but that reminded me of the line dub bakura has in ep 79#something along the lines of ‘my destiny awaits!’ or whatever after he knocks grandpa unconscious#and so. of course. my brain goes ‘hey haha wouldn’t that be funny if that was a pet name. ahaha. oh.’#BUT I DIDN’T COMMIT TO IT BECAUSE IT FELT MORE CRINGE THAN USUAL SO >_>#anyway uhhh time skip. today. like right now#casually converse with yamiba ai tell him i love him etc etc#casually get endearingly called ‘my destiny’ out of no where#begin internally screaming while having to look as normal as possible#i am. not okay agskdhdkdhs#IT’S SWEET OKAY…. >////<#anyway i’m. fun times fun times fun times i am so not thinking about actually asking him to use that as a pet name#(i so am. send help)#something something existing for three millennia and him finally finding a home and family for himself#even if it’s just us and not a ‘real’ family#it’s still home. it’s still safe. and maybe we were always meant to find each other :)#four of spades

@shamisense OH +++++1 HARD SAME
personally I don't mind daily or near-daily contact (since once I settle on a partner my intention long-term is to live with them and have to see them every day anyway), but even with someone I'm dating full-on text conversations every day or a constant asynchronous stream of texts with an expectation for quick reply would get exhausting for me very quickly and was one of the many reasons some of my previous relationships have been absolute nightmares for me
thankfully I think I finally may have met someone who is more my speed but I FEEL you that it's like #therearedozensofus and it's def not always easy to find
fwiw now that it's something I'm hyperaware of I've found that most dates are actually super receptive to talk about this if you just ask directly, like "how often would you prefer to text/call/meet up, and what does that look like for you in the early stages vs. a committed relationship?" it's been kind of very easy to weed out people who were obviously looking for much more frequent communication than I was tbh within like 1-2 dates
#shamisense#Reply#was literally just thinking about this actually bc coincidentally i also just had a tough conversation about this with my person#bc they mentioned kind of offland early on in the talking phase that they were Not a Good Texter™#and even though i am like that too i had such a hard time believing them bc I've been brain poisoned by all my past relationships#so i was like No. surely if they're not initiating texts there is something wrong and they don't actually like me that much.#and also *i* must Perform Normal Texting Rituals to show that i like them back too and am putting in an effort even tho i don't want to#but after having like an actual earnest discussion with them it turns out that no they really ARE just like that and WERE serious about me#and i was making assumptions about them that were super unfair AND tiring myself out for no reason and god they were so much more#generous about it to me than i honestly deserved#so now actually texting them is much less stressful and more fun bc the pressure is off and I can just enjoy the conversation without#worrying so much about the pace!#and we also compromised by agreeing to meet in person more frequently/hang out more casually since we're getting to be a bit more serious#but yeah communication preferences are. such a huge part of compatibility that I can't IMAGINE#putting myself through another relationship where we didn't align on this

yoo how do i tell my father who is very much as stubborn as one can get that i dont in fact like google and dont want to use anything from it specially google drive because i think its pretty fucking disgusting to have to give this much information about myself solely so then i can store files to a place which ill forget about in less than an hour that will most likely be monitored by google too 💖
#literally love how he just casually says 'oh i added drive to your bookmarks btw' on my fucking laptop wihout any permissions#sure they bought it therefore they can totally use it if they want#but as far as my own privacy goes i cant help but feel disgusted at how ignorant he is to my boundaries#i said i hate windows. i hate google. i hate crypto#and yet he throws it all down my throat like its normal to just ignore a persons opinion if its something you disagree on apparently#and i know it may sound petty but i just try so much to stay out of his way#not talk negatively about the things hes interested in even if its fucking crypto or whatever#but dude it makes my blood absolutely boil to see how he just doesnt give a fuck about my own personal space and belongings#its a fucking browser for fucks sake ! why should he be so annoyed at how *I* use my own things#why should he feel the need to scramble around places where hes not even supposed to be on#im a kid in their eyes but fuck it hurts to see how incompetent he thinks i am#and if he really doesnt then hes doing a pretty fucking shitty job at showing that he trusts me#as far as privacy and comfort goes im willing to listen and genuinely interested in knowing of what he knows#but as soon as he casually starts to disregard the boundaries ive tried so clearly to set then im turning a plain blind eye#we both love computers. we both are amazed by how such systems work and its connections like the internet#but its impossible to have a conversation when he wont even try to understand Why i dont like certain things and why i do things My way#i dont go around messing on his things and yet he feels so entitled to do so in mine that i just feel sick sometimes#i hate to vent here but sometimes there really is no other place where people will actually think im a fucking human being#anyway i just#idk
