okay, so in a rare moment for me, there's a discourse thing i want to bring up, and that thing is. okay. so on iskall's stream there's this thing that can happen where someone brings up a criticism of his content or vault hunters. frequently it's self-evidently wrong, but sometimes it's not. and then iskall spends the next thirty minutes shadowboxing this guy, explaining himself, and completely derailed. and this is an iskall trait we all know and sigh bemusedly about, because he cares about the community and wants people to understand his intentions! he wants the community to understand his decisions!
however, it's not the community as a whole he's fighting; he is in fact, arguing with One Guy, who often doesn't represent the wider community, and who normally won't have their mind changed. hell, sometimes it's believable that they're satisfied having just managed to upset iskall, and they'll leave, no change to their mind, perfectly pleased that iskall's responding at all (that's what i firmly believe the people who poke at the 'you don't upload enough and that means you're falling off and a bad person' wound are trying to do, at least).
in the vault hunters community, we refer to this as iskall getting One Guyed, and it's typically viewed as bad, because it ends up focusing an entire moment on a single guy's negative opinion as opposed to on the larger picture. and it's an understandable thing to have happen! but it's frustrating to watch from the outside.
and so now i am looking at that cat poll. and the way everyone is still shadowboxing someone who has since apologized. and the way i would have never ever known about any of the negative comments about jellie if it weren't for fellow mcyt fans constantly putting them on my dash to dunk on them. and it's like. if you look through the notes most of them are just... normal? it's only a tiny few of people (and the pollrunner, who has since apologized) who were being dicks. it's a very, very ignorable demographic.
but. well. there was One Guy. and we had to correct them.
and folks, i don't know how to say that i almost never see "lol mcyt is cringe" type comments unless one of you puts it on my dash. both because i don't go looking through the notes of things that are likely to have them or go looking for reasons to be upset and because it's just... not that common! very frequently these days it is, in fact, One Guy!
i have almost never seen that poll on my dash without at least one instance of the One Guy. instead of being for fun, it's mostly become about explaining ourselves to someone who will not listen and will not change their minds, and treating this as a the whole of the Other Side of that poll, when most people are being... fine. they're fine! the majority of the people voting for the other side are doing it for perfectly normal reasons that don't require fighting about.
and man. let me tell you. after spending as long as i have watching vault hunters development? it can be just as frustrating to watch a fandom get One Guyed as it is to watch iskall.
#discourse#i am immediately turning notes off for this post as a heads up because i HATE discoursing but#man. i feel like i need to point this out.#sometimes you'll be happier if you go 'that was One Guy huh. better just block them and move on. i won't change their mind.'#one day this fandom will learn.#cat of the year poll#<- for those also trying to block it#also i know in many ways this is just me contributing i'm aware of my flaws#but sometimes i think this fandom needs to step back and realize it doesn't really need to fight the world.#sometimes someone says a mean thing. that sucks! you do not need to fight them for two days about it though.#and we do this with polls but also other people's innocuous comments SO MUCH.#so here i am.

i think i really need to learn how to cold quit things... one habit i have that really bothers me is checking my phone first thing in the morning bc it's "just for 5 minutes" "just to see if anyone sent me anything important" no bitch literally nothing on your phone requires you to check your phone first thing when you open your eyes!!! stop it
#i want to keep it cute and say i drink water or some shit but i check my phone THEN drink water guys it's true#i like to think i'm pretty productive / do well w my time bc i get to studying/errands pretty quickly#but sometimes i think about how those minutes spent on my phone could be spent reading the book i said i didn't have time to read#or doing a quick stretching exercise#or just getting myself together before a long day of studying idk. anything really#i need stricter regulations for myself ik it#i am doing good rn but what is good if u could literally be the best just by being off ur phone more

How do the girls get along
Pretty great actually!
Jenny and Kim are very good/close friends, since they met relatively early compared to others (they actually met each other first out of everyone, then others at one point and another) and had a shared adventure sometime after the ends of their respective shows (wink wonk).
But, their first meeting was not actually very um, positive. There was some conflict, but after it was resolved both of them gained a very solid friend for life!
Jenny, was glad to meet someone else (beside Brad) who treated her like a person/normal teenager (instead of an 8th wonder of the world or a freaky robot) and not to mention she got a fellow superheroine girl friend! After Misty, she kind of missed having someone like that to kick butt with (considering that like, 70% of her friends are dudes) or just hang out.
Kim was fascinated by Jenny, not because she is a robot (tho she does think its pretty cool) but because it kind of gave her a contrast to her own life in a weird way? Like, Kim was a normal teenager who got into superheroing on accident and just went with it, while Jenny was created with a goal of being Earth's defender but rebeled to have some sort of normal life. And now they both live those weird semi-normal lives, that led them to meeting each other.
Jun is around 5-6 years their junior and while they met each other much later on, when Jun was a little older (like not 11-12 age of the show), she still kind of looked up to them and both Jenny and Kim felt an instant kinship with the girl.
Before she met Jenny and Kim, Jun only knew a couple other guys as fellow heroes/magical protectors (guess who ;D lol), and while she had plenty of female role models (Ama/Jasmine being the most prominent) and friends, she kind of enjoyed meeting some cool older superheroines to bond with! It also helped that despite the age difference, both Jenny and Kim never looked down at her when it came to superheroing/fighting, but respected her abilities and expertise (considering that Jun was practically an apprentice to her Ama since at least 8-9ish of age, when her powers first awakened, she has a lot of experience).
They both are kind of like cool older cousins to her, who travel a lot for their work and come visit to hang out often and tell/share stories about their adventures. Their and her lines of work while similar, also run in completely different circles (human/interplanetary vs magical/supernatural), so its always a treat to hear about the things they do.
(And yes sometimes she feels jealous about the fact that both of them get to travel all over the world, and despite the developments, more often than not she has to stay town locked and limit her excursions to magical realms.)
Silly thing, but Jun absolutely adores Jenny, for one simple fact that she can travel to space just like that (she and Danny, fellow astronaut/space fans, share that, despite the fact that Danny kinda can travel to space just like that too.)
#que?#hom au#hom au q&a#juniper lee#jenny xj9#kim possible#fun fact: both jenny and jun have beef with some other person in their friend group while Kim doesn't#Kim is very likable ;3 and also sensible even if she is sometimes overly competitive and a perfectionist lol#both Jun and Jenny can get overly passionate and thus they have a recurring beef/argument/tension with their respective opponent (?)#Jenny and Kim are that sort of friendship that one makes in a camp and you exchange numbers/e-mails and you dont see each other for months#but message almost every day and like know a lot about each others lives and when you meet again u like instantly hug and everythng is cool#also their families (some members at least) are sort of? friends now too. i will elaborate on that later ;3#still answering homauQ in broad strokes because i just cant decide on the details lol#i promise im answering asks TToTT i was just eyebrows deep in the comic itself to actually answer properly#i have like several in drafts and some in askbox and also i think i lost a few when i was cleaning my other askboxes so um like sorry#if i never answer those they are now forever lost in tumblr graveyard

Good day to asexuals specifically: it's International Asexual Day and this time I remembered!
You know, before I figured out my asexuality, I was always doubting myself when it comes to labels. I was always second-guessing my feelings, examining my memories, pondering if what I felt for people was truly real, or if it counted, or if I was just lying to myself about everything and fabricating things. I felt very non-heterosexual, but I still felt very uneasy identifying with bisexual labels, because I still felt like what I feel was... different, in a way. Different to what other people described and what they seemed to feel.
Maybe it's due to overall maturing as a person, but I never get any similar feelings when I think about myself as asexual. It's very freeing! I never second-guess myself anymore. This feels comfortable, and this feels right. I feel no need to ever prove anything to anyone; including to myself. Maybe I am other things along with asexual, but I don't care anymore. I don't feel the same need to analyse every single positive emotion I've felt about another person anymore. I just... feel. And I feel good like this.
I am asexual and I am so happy with that. :)
#I'M GOING TO BE A VIRGIN FOREVER!!!!!!! (said with happiness and glee and confidence and enthusiasm and cathartic happy tears)#sometimes i think about how wonderful it is to be asexual. here are some of those thoughts in words#the bisexual to asexual pipeline is real (attraction to both is zero and therefore the same right..?)#asexual#ace#international asexuality day

one time my mom was talking about something, I don’t remember what, and she said “have you ever known the poverty of having nothing to say?” and when I say nothing has ever punctured my heart quite like that statement
#I don’t even fully know why. also I don’t think she even meant it how I took it#but there is just some part of me that does believe that that is the greatest poverty#when there are no words in your mind or heart. no phrases—nothing to rely on or fall back on#and you just have to struggle with the human condition and be able to express none of it#and I know that not everyone uses words like I do or relies on them that way but people need some words. they need something#this is why a) I never make fun of those Instagram accounts that are all cheesy inspirational quotes or whatever because people are trying#they are REACHING#also b) that’s why villains who are wordlessly violently destructive make me cry#because it’s just like—-yeah I can understand turning to violence if I didn’t have expression#if I couldn’t get anything out#also also this is not related but I watched some movie or tv show the other day (and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was)#but there was this couple on a date and the girl asks him to complete all these proverbs after she gives him the first half#because ‘a man who knows his proverbs can’t be all bad’ and it shook. Me. To. My. CORE.#also also!! this is why I teach! it’s the heart of it for me!! And why I make them memorize poetry. like.#and put quotes on the board every day. like. You will have words and images in your mind and your heart from my class if I have anything#to say about it#anyway sometimes my mom says things and casually devastates me#and I think (I think) she was just talking about the poverty of having no news because nothing is going on#and so you have nothing to share with someone. and she was talking about my Grandma and how sometimes she was just so sullen and quiet#but it’s just because there was nothing to say#anyway anyway anyway that is also why the one time on the phone my grandma said who has known the mind of the Lord —shook me so much#because she never really said anything. words were not her thing and she never quoted anything#and suddenly her saying this line of scripture that said more than any words I’d ever said —one of the defining moments of my life#tbh. anyway this is very long I’m sorry. I have woken up this morning crying about this. idk.

"Everyone I knew who said they were into Legolas turned out to be in denial about liking women."
ALKFJFJYWYGSHDHDJ OMFFFFG
As a former Legolas fangirl this felt targeted 😂
write what you know (friends who got really into legolas and later turned out to not be interested in men)
#original#ficblogging#i don't. remember.#if i ever actually used the bit about clark#and how he left a bunch of stuff in his childhood bedroom#which included a printout of an art trade a friend made him on livejournal#which bruce definitely noticed while trying to sleep during christmas in kansas and didn't say anything at the time but made a note of it#which is how bruce wayne found clark kent's teen lotr fanblog which he was VERY intense about#bruce found this extremely funny and immediately made a backup#in case clark remembered it existed and deleted it#i think i killed that particular darling for being TOO self-indulgent pop culture reference#but it exists in my mind as important background teen lore#along with clark and lana's terrible green day cover band#and clark's collection of thrift store flannel shirts and those little wrist sweatbands#sometimes in life you write a lot of things and think about a lot of things and then forget which is which

i feel like im obligated to remind everyone that the time we see the characters spend with saiki on screen isnt the ONLY time they spend together,,, i just see a lot of people take their screen time very literally and assume that this is the case despite it being heavily implied that it isnt, and im not entirely sure why but i can guess that it may be because of the assumption that saiki genuinely hates his friends (i do also see people doing this with specific characters they dont like or that they have a specific agenda for, which i think is them being like "i feel a certain way about them, therefore saiki the narrator who gave me all the information that made me feel this way about them must not like them" which i dont really have a problem with (its just an hc) until they start arguing with people that their hc is the only right answer and saiki canonically hates that person or is only around them when forced to be LOL)
yumehara and teruhashi immediately recognize "kurikos" eating manner as saikis despite us never seeing him eat in front of them, kaido + nendo + kuboyasu bribe saiki for his homework with coffee jelly because they know hes obsessed with it despite us seeing no on-screen reason for them to know that (we do see a bit later that he walks home with them every day and he stares at coffee jelly every single time though LOL), and mera talks about saiki spending a lot of money at her workplace despite us only seeing her and him there at the same time once before..
saiki does not succeed at avoiding them, and in fact is probably not even trying to most of the time LMAO he loves those idiots. dearly.
the people i see the least true implications of him spending off-screen time with are actually, weirdly enough, the other two psychics. this doesnt necessarily mean to take that at face value and assume he DOESNT spend as much time with them, but its interesting i feel... please correct me if im wrong though cuz i would love to see more examples of these kinds of implications, for any characters actually!
#the thing about people doing this with specifically characters they dislike or just have a certain agenda they like to preach for them-#can come off as very silly at times although i dont rlly see too much of an issue with it cuz like i said its just personal interpretation#its just that sometimes its. very obvious.#people do it with nendo which.. is just funny cuz saiki canonically walks home with him and kaido every single day#and probably MOST of those days they go out to eat together#that little trio + sometimes kuboyasu spend SO MUCH TIME TOGETHER#anywayyy i honestly do think kusuo makes more of a real attempt to avoid the other psychics#not because he doesnt like them but because. they know him. yk what i mean ?#theyre the only people he can go to for help when he needs it and he TRUSTS them but at the same time or even BECAUSE of that- it scares hi#m#thats a wholeee other conversation though im just providing exposition#and i could be wrong#just a thought just a comment just a theory just a headcanon just a concern#someone tell me !! give me examples if u have any pleaseee !!#saiki k#tdlosk#the disastrous life of saiki k.#saiki kusuo#meows post

sorry i'm thinking abt megumi's incessant desire to be the first to die vs. the narrative keeping him alive despite and how the most tragic ending for him is not actually dying, but being left behind. for megumi, the worst fate is living a long life
#megumi growing up assuming he will be the first to die out of those he loves#bc gojo is the Strongest and tsumiki is a non-sorcerer so they should both be Safe while megumi is just. megumi#vs megumi at 15 having lost tsumiki gojo nobara nanami etc etc and knowing it's only a matter of time before he loses yuuji too#megumi not knowing how to be the survivor because he never thought he'd live long enough to have to say goodbye#also sometimes i think abt that post that was like... remember in thg how katniss' motivation for Everything is saving prim?#and then prim still died at the end because the world they lived in could not allow someone so good to live? it could not allow#katniss the One thing she wanted most#yeah so like. everything megumi is doing and has done has been for tsumiki. it's all been for her#but the world they live in is cruel and tsumiki is too good of a person#and when has megumi ever been granted anything he's wanted? why should the world allow him his one biggest desire of tsumiki's safety?#and what is megumi supposed to do when he outlives the one person who has been by his side - the one person he wanted most to save#how is he supposed to live a long life when everyone he cares about is gone? how is he supposed to care about new people?#what's that one quote that's like. a son or a husband can be replaced but who can grow me a new brother#no one can replace tsumiki. megumi cannot find a new sister#yes losing gojo and yuuji would be devastating. but at the end of the day megumi has known yuuji for only a few months#and gojo was already a replacement for his father#tsumiki has been with him longest and she's always been megumi's main motivation#she's the reason he didn't go to the zenin clan. she's the reason he was trained by gojo. she's the reason they're all in the culling games#trying to fix it from the inside and running on a time limit#and what happens if he CAN'T save her. what happens if. like katniss and prim. despite EVERYTHING. tsumiki still has to die#THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF TSUMIKI#BECAUSE MEGUMI WANTS TO SAVE HER#DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THE TRAGEDY IN BEING ALIVE WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS GONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#sorry i'm not normal about fictional sibling dynamics. btw if you even care#hello grace here#jjk spoilers#update i just realized it's not even 7am. as you can tell i'm having a great time today

Some people do kinda suck but I find a lot of joy in giving people really specifics compliments at my job and it makes their whole day sometimes c: 💛
#I had a very enthusiastic conversation about a lady’s hair and the way it was cut#she cut it herself!#I often like to tell some women that their purse is very nice and they’re usually very proud of their purses I’ve found#I will tell some people sometimes that the color of their shirt is so fitting for their skin tone and was a great choice that day#I expressed once to a customer that I loved the prints of his shirts and he came by one day in this one particular shirt#hoping I’d be there apparently because he wanted me to see the shirt because I love his style!#it’s so nice#I had a lady blushing once from head to toe because I said she looks like the perfect example of a woman#that face every artist draws for that reference#she was so beautiful#haha I like compliments on men’s facial hair too!#they’re proud of their facial hair a lot of the time#even soemthing as simple as they look amazing for their age which I’ve said many many times#like I said some people suck and I have yet to truly meet the bad eggs but man I just really like seeing them light up#when you compliment the littlest things they put hardly any effort into and think maybe nobody will even notice#I like pointing out those things

omg wait yeah a notif tag about the "isopods are cringe" thing just reminded me: you ever see that post on here with an addition where someone shyly tagged it with, "I know possums are "out" but-" what do you mean out they're an animal 😭 don't let people who twist themselves up trying to be unauthentically different to stay on trend make you insecure, none of this matters
#I think a problem this site has is that#despite people who move exclusively in circles of adults insisting this place has no children on it#it absolutely does. social media/blogging platforms have a Huge youth userbase#and sometimes one of those users - still self-conscious about their place in the world#because they're still in a judgemental school environment and that's how people act - will post something like#''lmao ok can we all admit now that [x] was never good''#then it gains traction around all ages. and people who should really know better start going... is this cringe?#oh no I don't want to be cringe! I'd better move onto this new trend instead!#without registering that this is the opinion of a 14-year-old who had a bad day that broke containment#now if this mentality actually originates from an adult that's. embarrassing lmao#(slightly older adults. 20-21 is still acceptable to be a bit like this)#but you shouldn't care about their opinion either. it's exhausting to be someone with an outlook like theirs

Okay but my favorite GIR moments are ALWAYS the ones that imply he's just aware enough of what's going on to know that the thing he's doing will fuck up Zim's day, and he still does it anyway, possibly specifically for that purpose.
#invader zim#gir#iz posting#natterings#most times its not even malicious#or not like SPECIFICALLY malicious beyond gir being a gremlin who enjoys chaos in general#i think a lot of the time he just wants to secure zims attention and making him mad is the easiest way to do it#(+ i mean zim kind of models this strategy all the time so can he really be surprised girs learned it—)#or sometimes the terrible thing will eventually end up leading into accomplishing something useful#and its easy to say this is just fools luck and totally inadvertent on girs part#but there are rare moments that suggest he mightve a little bit done the thing on purpose and im obsessed with that#that one comics issue where he impersonates dib torments zim for days on end and then wheedles zim into praising him for it#lives rent free in my mind#BUT ANYWAY I ALSO THINK THAT MAYBE SOMETIMES IT COULD BE A LITTLE MALICIOUS#given that gir in his natural state isnt really CAPABLE of resentment or anger or even dislike#and the one time he was able to feel those things he turned on zim in less than 24 hrs#in a way that was clearly very personally motivated (note to self write meta about gir goes crazy and stuff i have so much shit to say)#which suggests to me those emotions probably are there festering on some inaccessible level and yknow#imo a little healthy sadism is a GREAT outlet for that#zim absolutely deserves it
