I HATE MY PARENTS SO FUCKING MUCH!

For context for those who don’t know,i made plans to go on vr with my friends today,I went to go ask for permission to go on vr (which I shouldn’t even need to do since it was a gift I got from my grandparents) and they said NO BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN WE NEED TO GO SOMEWHERE,AND YOU WANNA KNOW WHY I HAVE TO ASK MY PARENTS PERMISSION?! ITS BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY OWN EVERYTHING IN THIS HOUSE! ANY OBJECT THAT ENTERS THE HOUSE,WELL YOU CAN SAY GOODBYE TO THAT BECAUSE ITS THEIRS NOW! AND THEY SAY THIS BECAUSE “oh we’re the adults we’re the only ones that get to own things,not you kids” WHICH IS THE STUPIDEST THING IVE EVER HEARD! AND WORST PART?! OHOHOHO! THE WORST PART IS THAT THE VR IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN ACTUALLY TALK TO MY FRIENDS SINCE THEY LIVE HALFWAY ACROSS THE FUCKING PLANET!

I AM THIS CLOSE TO MAKING MYSELF THE NEXT BATMAN I SWEAR TO GOD!

i cannot seem to please my dad ever, so i've come to the conclusion to stop trying! stop trying to please him and just focus on what i need to do and what needs to be done for me!!

bc multiple times he's given me contradicting info or come at me (or even my mom) for something in an attacking manner.

me: i would like to purchase some frosting

dad: dont purchase it make it yourself it'll taste better

me, later on: i wanted to make some frosting, any suggestions?

dad: ugh idk

me: okay, i will figure something out that suits my needs.

me: *makes frosting*

dad: ugh why are you making a mess and making things???

me: ..because you told me to? bc you said homemade frosting would taste better so im trying it?

dad: i never said that

me: but????? you did???????

dad: ugh *mumble* made a mess with powdered sugar

me: that wasnt me, i worked over here and am cleaning up

dad: did i SAY it was you?!

me: ..i dont know, you were mumbling to the wall. but i assumed you thought it was me bc im in the kitchen currently using powdered sugar.

dad: UGH

me:?????

dad (to my mom now): no one gave me dinner ideas >:(

me, internally: but i did???? you havent made it yet despite me asking for it for two weeks?? so thats not on me

my mom (paraphrasing here): this attitude is not okay. if you want my help you have to ASK for it, not bitch about it.

my dad: UGH I JUST WANTED SOME SYMPATHY *stomps away*

me and my mom at each other: 🙃🙃

he literally acts like a child? hell worse than a child. bc at least with children i can help them learn from their mistakes and talk to them like people.

To my Parents.

I hate how much you can love someone and yet be so full of hate…I don’t understand it!. My parents are hypocrites I don’t know why they say to others “Oh I love my kids! And (insert “jokingly” about my mistakes or body shaming me) but I still love them!”. Do you really love me or are you using me as your disappointment card that you can point out when I get into an argument with you. Do you really care for us? Or are am I just here to cook, clean and pay off YOUR debt?!. Do you really care? Or do you just look after us to have good karma. You’ve given me trauma thinking that I wasn’t good enough, not pretty enough, just not enough for your expectations?. Mum has already told me I wasn’t planned and it shows. I’m sorry that I wasn’t perfect to be your daughter I’m sorry that I wasn’t born as a boy. I’m sorry that I’m a big disappoint that you can’t get rid of, I’ve given 3 years of my whole pay check to help out with your “debt” when I find out that you’ve used 3k of my savings to buy yourself a present. Yet when I go out with friends or just by myself, and I ask for some of my money to hangout you refuse to give it to me. I was just 18, thinking that I was in the wrong for asking my saved money to use. I worked my ass off too! I earned that money! I wanted to use that money for myself. But was manipulated into giving it away to you, I’m disappointed in myself for giving in. My whole life has been ruined because of your lack of understanding, trust, honesty to me. I’ve given almost my entire life being on this God forsaken earth to do nothing but obey your word cause that’s what I was told. Was it that hard to say “I’m sorry” or “I’m proud of you” or or better yet “ I love you” is it that hard?!. Don’t say it is because I can hear my best friends parents say that right to them while I sit there longing for those words to be spoken to me. Do you always have to point at my mistakes and make fun of my body, (I’m 185kgs, I have eczema, bad hyperpigmentation.) I’m sorry that I wasn’t a planned baby, and have skin issues and I’m sorry that I’m fat it wasn’t my intention to have a bad eating disorder. Oh wait it was given by you… if I really wasn’t planned why didn’t you get an abortion? Don’t say it was expensive cause the cost then was $20. Better yet a plan B pill would’ve done the trick. I sometimes wished that I was adopted and that they were on their way to come back and grab me. I’m glad that I yelled to you “I’m sorry but I didn’t ask to be born”. Sure I felt bad for a second, and I laughed at you because you were so dramatic you’ve victimised yourself crying. Wanting to make me to feel bad, but I just continued to laughed and honestly it was the best laugh I’ve ever had. Dad I wished you’ve left Mum while you had the chance. You’re probably better off with that other lady you were cheating on mum with.

if i was able to just talk and talk to my parents about, yes they are bad parents, yes you ARE the problem, no, i don't want different parents. why is it so hard for you to listen to me and ACTUALLY realize manipulating your children can cause THEM to resent you more and more and realize that no matter what you say to manipulate them, you're making a fool of yourself and exposing everything that your child would no matter what, of what they'll think of you, even through all of the emotional abuse? why would your child think of that in the first place if that's what you're teaching them to make it seem 'normal'?

if you say you didn't want to be a parent in the first place, THEN DON'T!!! please, for everyone's sanity, if you know you're only having a child because everyone else is, DON'T do it if you're actually not going to put in the effort and TEACH your child by through care and not through words that could impact them for the rest of their lives, thinking that their parents are normal for doing it but it really isn't, and it shouldn't be normalized.

Because of the Velma show, a lot of people's pitches for a new adult Scooby Doo have Fred coming from a richer, upper-class family. Now, I know that comes from Fred being Mayor Jones's adopted/kidnapped son in Mystery Inc, but we're totally missing a goldmine here.

Fred isn't like Daphne. He doesn't come from a rich family more often than not. In fact, Fred's family history is so strange and convoluted from reboots, off-hand mentions, plot twists, and straight-to-DVD movies that Fred is related to more people than my mom knows people at random restaurants.

The goldmine is that we don't know the truth about Fred's family or parents. Are they the cruise-loving Skip and Peggy Jones from "Scooby-Doo! Pirates Ahoy!"? What about the dangerous Brad Chiles and Judy Reeves of the original Mystery Incorporated? Or what about Mayor Fred Jones Sr?! It's not that last one, but the gist is we don't know who Fred's parents actually are. Fred doesn't know who his parents actually are. You look up "Fred Jones parents" on Google, and THE TOP RESULT IS FREDDIE SHRUGGING IN THE CONFUSION AND HORROR OF IT ALL!

Nobody knows where Fred came from- not even Fred- and maybe that's how it should be...

All these obscure family members and the 5+ potential parents from his overlapping stories... the elaborate traps and random knowledge explained away offhandedly by his shady past... that perfectly happy, preppy attitude untouched by the greed of 1970s capitalists and ghouls... the ascot!

These all lead me to believe that Fred has no parents, rich or otherwise. Fred Jones is a [teenageyoungadultcollegiate] man who awoke one day from nothing, a new consciousness born of the universe, with nothing but a love of learning, a passion for solving mysteries, and a fucking groovy van to help him survive. From there, our dear Freddie made a family for himself, by traveling the world in his van, meeting new people, and picking up the weirdest interests and hobbies.

While the other members of the gang all have families and homes to go back to, Freddie has the mystery machine. That is his home, and his family are the friends he makes along the way- including Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby. Amen.

So. I’ve been thinking about Tim Drake a lot. Like. So much. So, here’s another rant/analysis/commentary on him.

Here’s the thing. Tim Drake is, and I mean this in the fondest way possible, an asshole. He’s cocky and arrogant and smug. He always has to know everything and he always has to be right. He has NO respect for dumb things like boundaries or privacy. He views emotions as just another variable, something that is to be accounted for and addressed when needed in both himself and others. But protecting people’s feelings isn’t a priority. Yes, Batman’s emotional spiral triggered the events that led him to become Robin. But he didn’t help Bruce which his grief because he saw someone he cared about hurting and wanted to help. He did it because Bruce’s grief threatened to destroy Tim’s understanding of reality. Batman being a hero was one of the only good stable things in his life. He wanted to protect that, and he wanted to protect Gotham’s citizens from both Batman and anyone who would run wild if he died. It was a calculated decision based on numbers, not Bruce’s feelings. Not to say that he doesn’t care, because he does. So much. But he tries not to let it control his decision making. An example being when he didn’t tell Tam that Lucius’s death was fake. A more extreme example from when he really goes off the rails is the entire Titan of Tomorrow storyline.

Anyway— point is Tim understands and cares about the emotional wellbeing of the people around him but he tries very very hard to hide it and not let himself think to hard about why. Because then he’d have to confront that if other people’s feelings are important then his are as well. And that everything his parents taught him was wrong, therefore he is wrong. And as I said, he always has to be right. Because so much of his self worth is tied to his intelligence. Oh. That’s why I relate to him… okay im gonna stop before I have anymore revelations.

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."

"It ain't that complicated!"

How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.

cat dad Giovanni?

Sure is!!!!

this man loves his cat more than his own son

Can we also talk a little about Kristina this season?

The manipulation and emotional blackmailing of Wille had me so furious!

Calling him to say she cannot handle this anymore! What about Wille? How is he supposed to handle it? He also lost Erik, and in addition he was outed to the world in such a horrenduous way, and then he was pushed into the closet and lost Simon because of that. And even if he won Simon back, he is under constant pressure.

And Kristina has the audacity to put the responsibility of the Crown on his shoulders! To carry alone, with no support.

I know she is grieving and that she is trying her best. But her best is not good enough!

The way I screamed when Wille called her out on her bad parenting!

The eepy squeebies

Spoilers under the cut

This is how I imagine they slept that night after dinner. Cat at the foot of the bed type vibe

I currently just feel so overwhelmed by cleaning

Does anyone have any ADHD cleaning tips?

Rant below

I have no clue on how to fix this but I'm sick of having no space and being treated by my parents like I'm a slob

You know even though they never bothered to teach me how to clean, how they clean is based on their dopamine "time to do this task now" and how I've never lived in a clean house my whole

I just feel so frustrated

Currently my brain thinks that if I get storage (because I do not, and it resulted in me just having shit everywhere)

I just feel so frustrated and it's keeping me awake and I just want to sleep and not think about this

what also gets me about people being so adamant about using the word "narcissist" or some form of it to describe shitty people is...there are other words. I was just watching a drew gooden video and he said "If you knowingly take part in something that has the potential to put other people in harm's way and you still do it cause it's kind of fun for you, you are selfish and you suck." (It's the gender reveal party.)

Just seeing how many commentary YouTubers, especially more leftist ones that talk about the heavier side of things like misogynists and seeing them use the term narcissistic or delusional is just. We HAVE other words we can use! We HAVE USED other words for years before narcissistic became a big trend to say and narcissistic abuse really ramped up as a pop psychology trend.

It is literally SO easy to use other words. You can Google similar words. Selfish, self centered, self righteous, egotistical, arrogant, entitled. One of the best words I find is probably entitled. Because a lot of bigots and misogynists and shit that usually get delusional and narcissistic thrown at them are really more self centered, arrogant, and entitled. Self interested, self obsessed. Especially since for abusers, misogynists, other shitty people, the entitled comes from the fact it is NORMALIZED!!!!! It is not a bunch of narcissists harming people, it is a society, a world, that has normalized this behaviour. They are entitled, they are abusive, they are selfish, they are cruel. There are so many OTHER WORDS to describe your abuse, to describe shitty people. Just call them abusers or bigots for fucks sake. And even if some delusional people may get roped into it cause they're vulnerable, typically it is a lot of people who are INTENTIONALLY doing it. It is normalized, it is allowed!

All we narcissists ask is that you not use a word that demonizes us. "There's a difference" yet other people say there isn't, other people say NPD isn't even fucking real, other people say pwNPD ARE abusive. If we used any kind of other word for the more "talked about" disorders, there would be a problem. We ask that you change it, we ask that you use other words, we ask that you not further add to the stigma. The same stigma that BPD deals with, that autistic people deal with, that any neurodivergent person deals with. The stigma and demonization is something ALL neurodivergencies have fucking faced!!! It may have moved away from demonization for a lot of disorders, but there ARE people that DO still believe it.

We fucking ask you literally use any other word. And you refuse to. You refuse to listen to us. You refuse to believe us when we tell you the harm it has and how it actually prevents us from finding resources. You say "of course a narcissist would want that." You see it as an attack on you and your trauma. You are throwing trauma victims at risk of abuse under the bus because you want to feel vindicated in your own trauma. You completely ignore any critical thinking of what we say to turn it against us, to ignore us, to bring up your own trauma as a defense point. Yes, you were abused by someone and it is terrible that happened. So were we!!! My abusive mom probably has NPD, but it did not affect the abuse I faced, it only add strains in our relationship outside of the abuse that still affect us to this day.

It is SO easy to find another word, to literally just listen to us, to not throw us under the same fucking bus. To not group us in with abusers and rapists and child sex offenders and murderers. Would you fucking like to be compared to your abuser? Pretty sure you fucking wouldn't. So why is it okay to do to us?

Some people will never listen. No matter what I say, it does not matter. As with any kind of thinking along these lines. But for those that are still reachable, please. Listen to us. And what would you even do if you found yourself having NPD traits? Wouldn't it be terrifying to see that in yourself? Because I sure as hell thought it was. It made me hate myself and further believe that I could NEVER do any wrong because I wasn't like my narcissistic abusers and worsened my relationship difficulties. A fair bit of narcissists on here had also fallen into that same hole. It doesn't heal you. It keeps you angry, scared, upset. It makes you want to hurt them back. And that will not heal you. It'll keep you defensive. It's keeping you in a victim mentality and preventing healing.

To the ones that ARE reachable, I hope you can learn something from my posts, from posts I reblog, or from any other posts. It starts with narcissists and "psychopaths" (antisocials), but it is the same place the stigma of every neurodivergency and mental disorder stems from. It's why other disorders may still get demonization from some ableists. That a lot of autistic experiences were based around how it affected OTHER PEOPLE like "think of their mom having that autistic kid :(" it is not anything new. It is the same ableism and stigma. It is less demonized for other disorders now, focusing more on treating it as no big deal, ignoring the actual difficult symptoms of such disorders (like if you have poor hygiene, people will judge you regardless), or even infantilization. There IS still stigma, but the stigma was once the same as us, demonization. It comes from the same place. It's things said about other disorders still today even if it is rarer. It's just more well known for the "scary" personality and psychotic disorders since there is a big push to destigmatize things like depression, anxiety, OCD, autism.

Do not throw us under the bus. It will do nothing. It is the same fucking stigma, the same fucking arguments. Like gay people throwing trans people under the bus, they're called the same things even if it seems like they aren't. It comes from the same bigotry, the same place of hatred.

It is not new, it is not different, it just is more common for personality disorders, psychotic disorders, and schizospec disorders. So when we bring up these things, mention how using the term directly associated with a disorder in the DSM V and how it prevents us getting help, how using the term narcissistic DOES correlate to NPD, please fucking listen.

Cause nothing will ultimately benefit you for continuing down that rabbit hole. Narcissistic abuse believers don't help victims of abuse, those articles and questions don't help you heal. It keeps you angry how anyone could do that, it takes advantage of your vulnerability and desire to find meaning and logic out of it. The reality is, you may never know why or at least not until you are away from the abuse.

We are trauma victims as well. We are still at risk of abuse because of our disorder. I would genuinely stay with an abuser just for the sake of narc supply regardless of how they hurt me if I did not have a good support system. For our "toxic" traits, we cannot work on them without help and the idea of narcissistic abuse pushes stigma further which prevents us from even finding free online resources, let alone if we actually tried to seek any fucking help.

Narcissistic abuse is not real and it will never be. Please fucking include us in "mental health matters" and the push for destigmatizing disorders. We are fucking humans that need help. And even if we were all toxic and selfish hypothetically, removing the ability to find resources or get help is NOT the way to go.

Even when I believed in narcissistic abuse, I would search to find answers on why I aligned with NPD if I wasn't an abuser or a bad person. I was terrified to even suspect it despite how much attention and love and supply I needed and how that applied to the very essence of my being. Even when I examined my own actions, all I found was treating it as if they're the utter worst of humanity. Even with my toxic and unhealthy acts because I was a fucking traumatized teen with no experience for relationships of any kind especially not healthy ones, I could not find answers or help. And all that did was reassure me that I WAS the good person, that I was JUSTIFIED in my toxic desires because I was traumatized. It did not help me with my emotional regulation, it worsened it.

Even if narcissists WERE all abusers or toxic and bad, they deserve fucking help and a chance to be able to see their actions in a better light. Some people may never change, but plenty will if given resources and actual professional help. The idea of narcissistic abuse refuses that and just demonizes it and NOBODY wants to be demonized, NOBODY wants to believe they're a bad person. The term narcissistic abuse and the environment and community surrounding it is toxic. It always will be. That is inherently what it is about. It kept me terrified that someone might call me an abusive narcissist because of my emotional difficulties, that someone would take me out of context and turn me into a monster like my family had done my entire fucking life. It keeps you defensive, it keeps you scared, it keeps you mistrustful, it keeps you in those trauma responses. It does not fucking help victims find peace of mind or heal. It keeps you triggered.

Also NPD isn't just a single disorder on its own. It's comorbid or the person could be ND in other ways. BPD + NPD, it has some genetic factors so a narcissistic parent may increase likelihood you have it, there are DID systems with it. You are not just throwing people with purely ONLY NPD under the bus, but whoever else may have it that may also fall under many other categories. I'm autistic and have NPD, I'm a system with NPD, I'm schizospec and psychotic with NPD. I have ADHD and NPD. They may not be directly related and comorbid, but I do still fall under these other categories. So autistics throwing people with NPD under the bus does nothing for the narcissists that are also fucking autistic. So by throwing narcissists under the bus, you are throwing a LOT of people with that disorder that also have other forms of neurodivergency under the bus as well. And the stigma all comes from the same place anyway.

hi, first off i really love your art. the h/c and warmth really hit me where i live and your illustration style is fantastic. lately i've been obsessed with the post where an unwell milek thinks geralt will leave him behind. was that an ingrained insecurity, assuming his super-witcher dad wouldn't have time for a sickly human kid?

[MASTERPOST] - Ahh, thank you for the ask! Yes, this scene.. I actually saw this a bit differently! It's not about Milek fearing Geralt will leave him behind, he actually wants him to. They need to find his Pa!! I think he often feels like a burden; Jaskier knows this, but Geralt isn't aware of this yet. Milek just wants to pull his weight, especially with Jaskier. A little sneak peak to their struggles regarding this:

Meanwhile Jaskier continues to struggle with his omega status.

B.J. Goes To Maine but there’s some kid he’s never heard of already there finishing his undergrad, and what do you mean he’s been here the whole time I’ve known you, Hawk? When did you have the time to send a Korean teenager to college in the States, Hawk? Hawk, do I even know you?
