Dumbest part of criticism of SU Future is when people say "Future is character assassination of Steven" and "The show trivializes/poorly represents mental illness" in the same breath. If you think a character whom has suffered immense interpersonal and physical trauma having breakdowns and snapping at people because of being triggered is mutually exclusive to a character being kind and empathetic, I don't think you have a right to speak on mental illness rep.
Seeing a character who is defined by kindness and compassion crack under that pressure of being there for everyone like that is crazy to see in a kids show. Personally I hadn't felt that seen by anything in a while, and it's just offensive as hell to me to say that a character acting traumatized in a way that isn't sad puppy dog eyes means they're mischaracterized or abusive now. That's half the point of Future that Steven didn't know how to express his problems within his role as precious angel.
He wasn't mischaracterized, he was recontextualized. It's like people can accept "this mean character was once nice but changed cause trauma", or "sweet character is now depressed cause trauma", but the reality that someone youre familiar with can change dramatically due to trauma - acting angry and abrasive instead of sad and demure - is blasphemous somehow.
Double points if they then say the gems or Greg were dumbed down to make Steven look better. Like, My Brother In Christ, they are exhibiting the exact lack of awareness you are thinking it's impossible for a person like Steven to have angry or vengeful trauma reactions.
EDIT: Actually not gonna leave this in the tags -
Something-something ableism, something-something not accepting dramatic and unpalatable expressions of mental illness in fiction and likely not for people IRL.

We all know and love the final girl, but I want to know more about the first girl. The forgotten girl. The unlucky catalyst. The girl who's buried twice, first to be killed and last to be avenged. The girl that everyone else thinks about, when that phone call comes, when the backdoor is mysteriously unlocked, when the blade slides home. But she had no one before her to provide context. She was all alone with her fear and she died without knowing that her brutal sacrifice would birth the creation of a final girl who lives. The girl who watches as the girls after struggle and fail again and again until finally, finally, she wins but it's bittersweet because she had a whole lineage of dead girls to guide her way and the first girl had nothing. She was always supposed to fail and she did it so beautifully they've changed the meaning of her name about it, she is no longer a person she's that first brutal death.
#horror#I think about Barb a lot#from stranger things#and how in horror movies the first girl is always a test#a sound check before the final girl gets her moment#tag talking#characterisation#final girl#writeblr#marrow writes#tw murder mention#tw death

thinking about how mcr never really got to tour with conventional weapons and how so much of that album is commentary on fame and the public perception of mcr…and now they’re including a ton of cw songs in the setlist of a tour that ushers in their return…and this time, as they come back, they are much more respected…and yet they are now at a place where they don’t need that respect
#does this make sense it makes sense to me#i think they’ve always been in a place of fuck you we don’t need your respect#but I find that they seem more at peace or have figured out how they want their relationship to fame to operate much more now#after time away#and so they REALLY don’t care and that not-caring is allowing them to do SO much and blow us away#tag talking#analysis#mcr#return thoughts#mine

Clearly the mech who gave Megatronus was a genius who delights in chaos. BW Tarantulas, why not?
Also I guess they raise their sparklings by not raising them. Throw a chunk of energon in there and let 'em fight. The strong will survive.
And that's how we end up with an entire colony of feral sparklings that might secretly be scraplets. Scraplings.
I did consider Tarantulas, actually, who would have such an intriguing design in a TFP style
Tfp au Sparklings already get a feral lanky toddler stage (eventually and like. Twenty years minimum into existence, and it's relatively temporary) but one could argue that thanks to Tara', they automatically start at a further level of development. I'd like to say this is thanks to a longer carrying period because that makes sense, and the fact that they're science babies. We already get a science baby later on (Influx) who's kinda a test tube clone kinda not, and pops out at the equivalent age of 12-14. So there's that.
Now a colony of scraplings (I'm gonna be honest I was just suddenly reminded of the bayverse hatchlings) would be able to fend for themselves much easier than your typical tfp au sparkling which starts out pretty damn squishy and vulnerable.
But... They still need that social interaction because if the project I did on Harlow Monkey Experiments taught me anything it's that social interaction and comfort is secretly way crazy fucking important. Scraplings indeed, and we'll get a brand of cybertronians who are... Interesting to say the least
#predacons two: electric boogaloo#maccadam#transformers#tfp au.... sort of#the fallen#Megatronus prime#honestly that's how i see predacon sparklings (as well as some of the subspecies' ones) working#they live in a much more harsh environment and Predacons are noted to be far more solitary than the typical transformers#plus there's the fact that the cataclysm likely killed off a large amount of cybertron wildlife that would've been major threats#(what wildlife had survived probably died off later to the pressures of the growing tf civilization and finally cybertron going dark)#and the scanny scanny cybertronians took an entirely different reproductive strategy#riot rambles#tag talking

This really is just a journal now. Oopsie xD
Angel and I got in... something. I don't know what to call it. We walked away and then tried to talk it out before it became what I'd consider a fight or even an argument.
Tldr, I wanted to talk about a medical thing with her and she gave me a suggestion, and then my response made her feel like her input wasn't wanted or wasn't helpful. I made her feel like I was shutting her down. Which sucks, and was not my intention, but the impact was still there, and I'm sorry for that.
Except... I don't understand why that was the impact. I don't understand what else I was supposed to have said. I don't know what to do differently next time. She made a suggestion I had already looked at, so I was sharing what I already knew. Until she emotionally shutdown and literally stopped herself from speaking, I thought we were having a normal conversation with sharing things back and forth. I still don't know what else I was supposed to say.
There's also an issue in that her reply wasn't really what I was trying to ask. I figured out that one was an issue with my phrasing though, wherein I said "What's the point of X?" while meaning, what's the purpose or goal of doing the thing? That's just not how she took it, which, okay cool I gotta fix that script.
I told her I don't understand what I did exactly, and she suggested I ask some other people to decipher her messages. She also said I need to be more open to a conversation, which just confuses me more because how do I be more open to a conversation when I thought we were having a conversation until she shut down??
I've asked two people so far and they haven't been able to help me understand either. I think without her explaining what about my response made it feel like I was shutting her down, it's not something that can be solved, which terrifies me cuz I'm just gunna do whatever again without realizing.
Anywhore. Here's hoping I can bring it up at therapy next time. I tried to this last time but we hit some other things instead. Oh well.
#pers#journal#angel#tag talking#buried#filler tag so its less likely ppl will dig#cuz i need specifc notes for my memory sake#it was the sleep apnea thing#i wanted to know what the point was if i couldnt get a machine anyway#and she suggested things to do to see if i can get a machine#so yea idk what to do

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again
#yeehaw#1k#5k#10k#posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours?#also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that!#unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference#edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense#also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags#1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now#he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic#2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign#like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock#3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing#it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is#extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once#it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life#i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about#Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect#if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it#aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt
#talk tag#IT KILLS ME. REIGEN IS NOT MOB'S DAD. HE HAS A DAD. INGO IS NOT AKARI'S DAD. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CAN ANYONE HEAR ME#(not even necessarily to say that ingo is in his late 20s but still)#(even if he was a 30-40-50 year old no matter how old he is no fucking teenager is gonna call some guy they met as a 15 year old ''dad'')#GAI IS NOT A FATHER FIGURE TO ROCK LEE HE WAS LIKE 13 WHEN HE WAS BORN! PLEASE!!!!!!!!#one time i saw that a person wrote a fic where mario was like a father figure to luigi.#they are TWIN BROTHERS.#not what this about but idk where else i can say anything about this.#just horrible#also sometimes someone is just An Older Friend like no familial relationship just a friend or acquaintance who is a lot older than you

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".
it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.
do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.
but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.
do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).
you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.
walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.
no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.
do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."
you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.
there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.
i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.
he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."
#spilled ink#warm up#“why did u tag it warm up” bc i wrote it off the cuff while drinkin coffee lol#btw the 30 dollar buy in for the dog walking is bc they pay the organizer a small pittance so she can#run fb ads and stuff and like she does put in a lot of work i don't mind paying her#but that's exactly what im fucking talking about like.#ppl can't afford to volunteer their time anymore and we all understand it!!! everything costs money for everyone!#like we didn't have to use to say ''do you mind paying me back for the stuff we ate''#we used to be able to afford to feed our friends once in a while!!!

I used to be one of those guys when I first joined the Kirby fandom, but everytime I hear a discussion of the series writing that starts with "So the Lore is InSaNe-" and not like, "Kirby has a fun writing style that takes advantage of its cute exterior to tell cool stories that reward player's curiosity and leave lots of room for imagination-" I cringe so goddamn hard.
I kinda just hate that people approach things that encourage investment when they don't expect it as inherently absurd. Like it is fun to joke about how absurd Kirby lore can be, but it really often comes with an air of disrespect or exhaustion rather than like, appreciation that these games are made by people who want to tell interesting stories when they could easily make as much money just making polished enough fluffy kiddy platformers. And when it's not met with exhaustion, it's met with - like I said before - that tone that it's stupid for a series like this TO have devs who care about writing stuff for it. Which is a whole other thing about people not respecting things made to appeal to kiddie aesthetic or tone.
Maybe the state of low-stakes YouTube video essays just blows cause people play up ignorance and disbelief for engagement, but like I STG I hear people use this tone for like actual narrative based games sometimes. Some people don't like... appreciate when a game is made by people who care a shitton in ways that aren't direct gameplay feedback. And they especially don't appreciate it when it comes from something with any sense of tonal dissonance intentional or not.
Anyways, I love games made by insane people. I love games made by teams who feel like they wanna make something work or say something so bad. I love that energy, especially when invested into something that could easily rest on its laurels or which obviously won't be taken seriously. I love this in a lot of classic campy 2000s games, I love this in insanely niche yet passionate fanworks, and I love it in the Kirby series and its writing. Can we please stop talking about it like it's an annoyance or complete joke?
#shut the heck up#kirby#kirby lore#fandom#midnight rambles#im quite talkative today cause my rambling bestie is busy#im also bitter cause im too burnt out to make the things i want to properly express my adoration for this series#but i can waffle about it ig#ive been relying on prose and essay ro express myself a lot in leiu of my usual creative outlets...#i always wanted to make a video edsay series about kirby lore with this expressed ethos#maybe i should just start with essay-essays somewhere#still need to replay all the games for that first though#more streams coming up eventually i swear#tag talking#i read a cool analytical article today that had the same tone as a video essay and i was like 'ah thats the origin of the essay part'#so now i wanna explore that world more of article game and media journalism and such

as always I'm thinking about how mcr talks about their own come-up, and how they never doubted themselves. but in light of their return, I wanted to share this section of a revenge era mag scan:
‘(Revenge) gives us a shot,’ says Way. ‘This gives us a chance to stand up against some really big bands and ask them if they can compete, if they can push the envelope and bring some new ideas.’
Their self belief is phenomenal, but — for now — it doesn’t cross into arrogance.
‘I don’t think we could ever be arrogant,’ says Toro. 'Our backgrounds keep us grounded. We’re all working class and I don't think it's in our nature to be that way. I still live at home; my mom still yells at me for playing my guitar too loud — that will tend to keep you grounded.’
‘But that doesn’t mean we don’t think we can achieve anything,’ says fellow guitarist Frank Iero. ‘To get to this point means we must be doing something special. I’ve had a feeling recently. It feels like this dream — the dream of being a great band — has come true through luck, hard work and persistence. If that’s possible, then all my other dreams are possible, too.’
‘Without sounding completely out of my mind,’ adds Way, ‘I believe that anything is possible.’”
#feathers and wax#<- my tag bc the way they talk about the band literally sounds like icarus flying close to the sun#it's like you can't believe it but THEY believe it#and unlike icarus they are aware of the consequences of flying so close to the sun. and yet do it anyway.#they believe in themselves so hard you have to believe in them too#im.#god#sentimental hours#tag talking#mcr

I wish I could make cats understand the concept of fairness. Of hypocrisy. I wish next time Beatrice was eating I could stick my hand in her bowl and dig around and say "see? Not very nice is it?" And she would say "I understand now father you're right". But instead? Big fat paw in my soup

last night i had a dream that i was playing minecraft and i noticed i had 77 blocks of cobblestone in one slot instead of it being capped at 64 and it was so jarring to me that it literally booted me out of the dream. like sure you can fly now and your childhood home is a pharmacy but 77 pieces of cobblestone? unthinkable. wake the fuck up.
#minecraft#tagged so i can find it ig#PROBABLY MEANS I PLAY TOO MUCH MINECRAFT TBH#IT WAS 77 COBBLESTONE DO U UNDERSTAND HOW JARRING THAT WAS#IT LEGIT WOKE ME UP BC I WAS LIKE 'that cant fucking happen.'#shark talks#l
