k im sorry this even has to be said but trans people being neglected by suicide hotlines is not fucking unique to TMA people, how the fuck can any of yall believe this without putting in an ounce of critical thinking??
We're getting to the point where are people that really actually think that someone being classified as TME just makes every fucking thing in their life magically easier, to the point where you got folks ACTUALLY thinking TME people got it better when it comes to SUICIDE.
"TME" PEOPLE FUCKING KILL THEMSELVES ALL. THE. TIME.
THEY FUCKING DIE JUST AS TRAGICALLY, GET NEGLECTED BY THEIR LOVED ONES, THEIR PEERS, THEY GET CHEWED UP, SPAT OUT, RAPED, MURDERED, AND DRIVEN TO TAKE THEIR OWN LIFE BY THE SAME SYSTEM THAT TELLS ALL QUEER PEOPLE THAT WE'RE NOT WORTH THE DIRT WE STAND ON.
They want us all dead. All queers, they want all of us to be thrown in the woodchopper.
We're all in this together, whether you like it or not.
I want us all to fucking survive, goddammit!

I think considering Tumblr is really the only "stable" site in recent times has lead to some users having this "better than you" mindset and like maybe please consider stepping off your high horse for a bit. I hate the current state of social media in general, catch my ass @ chickensmoothie dot com

the quote you reblogged : That is why mysticism is the only source of virtue for humanity. Because when men do not believe that there is infinite mercy behind the curtain of the world, or when they think that this mercy is in front of the curtain, they become cruel.
Made me want to ask you: Were you or rather are you ever in states where you don’t feel and believe there’s anything more to life? That there is no energy no soul everything is accidental and there is no higher power out there, that everything is meaningless and pointless. No matter what we do or think but it’s maybe easier or even necessary to believe that there’s something more to all of it, to us? Maybe we desperately need that? Maybe it would be impossible for us to function and keep sanity? Or are you unshaken in your beliefs, maybe life proved it to be true enough that you never get those nihilistic waves of everything means nothing
heyy. love the question, quick disclaimer :: ultimately, each person is entitled to their own beliefs. i believe what i believe, and allow others to do the same. also, re: the quotation, i think theres a differentiation between mythology and theology. its less directed toward the existence of a god, and rather pertains to the idea that a world/morality beyond that of the physical tangible realm is at play. if infinite mercy can be extended to people despite their past transgressions, in that, a person can make a mistake, but redeem themselves through their consequent deeds, it alludes to some higher goal to strive for than the base or hedonistic goals that otherwise drive us forward. if people didnt believe they could be better, or make good despite their past actions, being a better person, choosing to evolve, or choosing to self correct, would not only cease to be appealing but cease to be necessary. the fact we believe we can be better, should be better, and that the choice to be better leads to better, is what keeps the balance of good and bad in balance, and what keeps humanity from slipping into complete debauchery.
as for me, i was raised catholic & i didnt relate or buy into what they were teaching me at church. anytime i had a question the answers seemed completely far fetched and unbelievable, and i felt like people were more concerned with the idea of salvation, or the need to believe in something to feel there was an overarching purpose to life, than they were with what i understood to be the core principles of the religion. even the term religion rubbed me up the wrong way because i felt like, isnt it just a personal belief/conviction/way of life, opposed to a faction or group to 'belong' to. people spoke a good game but the enactment of what they spoke about left me wanting.
fast forward. beginning to ask those questions around age 7/8 was the start of my spiritual journey even though i wasnt aware of it at the time. by 10/11 i stopped going to church & was calling myself an atheist or agnostic depending on what my mood was on the day. not because i didnt believe or feel there was something out there, but because it didnt align with any religious views i was privy to at the time. then at 12 i experienced a traumatic incident, and as i started to spend more time alone i was shown certain things and would have very particular experiences / feel the voice of some force out in nature or speaking to me through my conscience. and when that happened i felt (not from the teachings or reasoning of anyone but myself) that that force and feeling i was encountering was my true understanding of god or this thing i knew existed but wasnt entirely sure about how it existed. that pervading presence, its voice and the way its guided me is the only reason i believe in a higher, supreme power.
thats when i began to study life thru the humanities and in doing so form my opinions and ideas on what i believe regarding my views on the world & spirituality. i studied through the lens of the bible, the qu'aran, hindu teachings, buddhist teachings, syncretism, kemetic texts and teachings, new age spirituality, gnosticism & even science. i feel as though all of them have appealed to me and allowed me to grow in knowledge and understanding & that whilst they use different language to explain themselves, they all point toward and explain one truth. however beyond that the point still stands that i just believe. — ive had experiences i cant doubt, and feelings i cant doubt, not that i havent doubted them, or questioned, but each time i did it only confirmed my initial belief and made me believe more strongly. and so yeah, without that fundamental belief, all of it would just be a beautiful story. i could read every text, but if i didnt believe in what i was reading it would be no more than a harry potter type situation. i couldnt be swayed into pretending i believed, not for the idea of heaven, a promised land, or eternal salvation. thats not what i get out of this. my relationship w god saved my life and it keeps rebirthing me, educating me, & moulding me, and in doing so brings new meaning to things id previously read & doubted/didn't understand (think the concept of ressurection). anyway
i know people are religious and believe in god (whatever term or label u wanna give that force) for a variety of reasons. i cant speak for them, because im sure many people do believe for the reasons u stated. my reasons are simply that i feel and believe there is a higher, supreme, overarching force, that is the matrix of the spirit that permeates every living thing. i think theres a design to the world, one too specific to be down to chance. i think life is eternal and that there is a point to the experiences and growth or lack of that we experience in this life. that generationally it has significance and that it will one day account for something bigger than what we can see or comprehend right now. and i feel that when i look into the spirit of another being whether its human animal a tree or fire/water etc, that we all share the same force that ignites and powers our beings. & those are a just a few of the reasons why i believe
<3 hope this answers for u. sending my love

it always boggles my mind that people in fandom don’t... understand how shows are made. like, at all.
like sure, me hyper-fixating on tcw behind-the-scenes shorts as a kid didn’t give me intimate knowledge of how all media creation works, but it gave me a basic idea-
enough to understand that just because your name is in the credits doesn’t mean that you had a hand in every single part of the show, at least.
even beyond that though, i feel like some of this should be common sense? like... of course VAs don’t have a hand in the script-writing process. of course the beats of the story aren’t decided by the animators. because it’s not their job??? i feel like this should be obvious.
then again, it should also be obvious that you shouldn’t send death threats to people over a tv show, so. maybe i should just lower my expectations.

i feel like a lot of people would assume that i specifically dont experience gender dysphoria because im feminine and thats not necessarily like. im not offended by ‘looking’ like a non dysphoric trans person unless they mean it in a nasty way (ie implying that means im not really trans) but it still bothers me because you literally do not know me or my dysphoria at all. you dont know what goes on in my head? and i dont just get social dysphoria i have physical dysphoria too but you wouldnt know that just by looking at me because uh having like CLEAVAGE or something doesnt mean jack shit? and you dont know WHAT im dysphoric about either and its none of your business what that is either and you shouldnt be speculating about it either because its just god damn rude. get fucked

Is there a particular reason that you think Gerard and frank's friendship was the reason for the break up cause I haven't really found anything suggesting they had a rocky falling out
yea like i mean i do have extra details i cant share but i think its like easy to sort of figure out based on like stuff that is public knowledge
so basically millions. i mean i talk about this all the time but im not even like extrapolating that this song is about something else and im making it about their friendship and breakdown of it, gerard has said its about the band and it clearly isnt about RAY lmao like. its a song about the breakup of the band directed at frank and its clear that that relationship wasnt solid at the end of that
and then on top of that theres also the fact that post-mcr gerard like. well mikey is his fucking brother. but on top of that, gerard has worked creatively with ray on post-mcr music multiple times. the odd one out here is frank. so like that fact ALONE leads me to believe that a key part of mcr breakup was the fact that in addition to other struggles, gerard and frank felt that they couldnt work together anymore. because i mean the rest of them have.
also like a lot of franks solo stuff which you can attribute to anyone you want but to me i feel a LOT of resentment towards gerard
but yea idk i feel like its common lore that frank and gerard had a messy friend breakup post-mcr which could have influenced the demise of the band i mean i talk about this to ppl all the time i know its not just me

Purgatory
this isnt a request (i’m still recovering from Session 7 lmfao), just some brainrot that just would not go away lol
my interpretation of Skizz arriving in the afterlife after permadying
… 
  Skizz sits bolt upright with a scream, breathing so fast that he’s essentially hyperventilating. His face and body are drenched; whether in sweat or in blood, Skizz doesn’t know. He cries out in fear, the image of Grian bearing down on him with a sword still stuck in front of his vision. 
  “Hey, hey, it’s okay!” comes a familiar British voice. “It’s okay, you’re safe. You’re safe. Just breathe, take deep breaths.”
  Eventually, Skizz manages to calm down, breathing deeply. Now able to register his surroundings, he realises he’s sitting in a completely blank world, with a pure white sky that seems to stretch on for miles and miles. Realising that someone is rubbing his shoulder, he glances up and his eyes widen in shock as he sees who it is. “J-Jimmy? Wh-What…?”
  “Welcome to the land of the permadead,” says Jimmy, giving a sad smile. “It’s pretty quiet here at the moment but at least there’s no mobs, no war, nothing like that. At the very least, we’re safe here.”
  “Wh-Why are you being so nice to me after I killed you?”
  “Well…” Jimmy thinks for a moment. “Dunno, I’m not really the kind of person to hold grudges. Plus, I woke up here in a similar state to you but it took me ages to recover because nobody was here to comfort me. I didn’t want anyone else to go through that.”
  “Oh…” Skizz feels a pang of guilt. “I… uh… I’m sorry. For killing you.” 
  “I don’t think it’s me you have to apologise to,” Jimmy chuckles, inclining his head.
  Skizz glances in the direction he indicated and his stomach drops as he spots Cleo standing a little way off, arms folded and a steely look on her face. “Oh god, oh god, oh god… A-Are you gonna hurt me...?”
  Cleo maintains her hard stare for a moment before shrugging. “Meh. I was gonna, but I would’ve done the same thing in your position.” A grin appears on her face. “Besides, your reaction just now and the look of absolute terror on your face when you saw me was delicious enough. Just know that you’re on thin ice, cuz I can and will attack you if I don’t like the things you say.”
  “Well, this is a great start to the afterlife,” Skizz mutters, keeping a wary eye on Cleo. “So what is this place? Hell?”
  “No, lucky for you,” Cleo responds.
  “It’s more like purgatory,” says Jimmy. “Except we can see what’s going on back at the server. That’s how I knew you’d died before you arrived here.”
  “Wait, we can watch what’s going on? How?”
  Jimmy points to a small pool of water, surrounded by stones of various sizes. “That thing. I don’t know what it’s called but you say who or what you want to see and it’ll show you.”
  Without hesitating, Skizz rushes to it and looks into it, gripping the edges as if his life depends on it. “Show me Impulse.” 
  The pool shimmers for a moment. 
  “Please be okay, please be okay,” Skizz murmurs worriedly. 
  After a while, an image appears in the water, an image of Impulse… 
  …sitting in the crastle with Grian, Scott, and Scar. 
  Skizz stares at the shimmering image in horror. “I-Impulse, what are you doing there? What are you doing with THEM?! Grian killed me and you’re just sitting around with him, eating marshmallows?!”
  Cleo and Jimmy exchange a look, as if to say you gonna tell him or should I?
  Finally, Jimmy steps up to Skizz and resumes rubbing his shoulder. “I’m sorry, Skizzle. Impulse betrayed the Red Army. He’s been playing all sides all along but in the end, he chose the Crastle Alliance over you.”
  “No…” 
  Skizz momentarily stops breathing as a particular memory from the seconds before he died comes back to him. “Oh god… He… He was there. Impulse was there when I… when Grian killed me. He j-just watched me die…”
  “I’m so sorry,” Jimmy murmurs. “I can’t imagine how-.”
  “He’s supposed to be my best friend!” Skizz yells suddenly, wrenching away from Jimmy and storming away a few steps, fists clenched. He has to force himself to look down at the ground; if he looks at either of the other people here, he might involuntarily attack them. Even though he’s technically not a “red lifer” anymore, he can feel the same fury and hatred as he experienced on 3rd Life building up in him now. 
  “Skizz-,” Jimmy starts. 
  “No, forget 3rd Life!” snarls Skizz. “You don’t just stand there and watch someone you’ve known for decades bleed out on the floor without AT LEAST trying to comfort them as they die! Right?! Am I being unreasonable?!”
  Jimmy hesitates but Cleo shakes her head. “No, you’re not. One thing I have to give you credit for is that at least you stayed with me as I died. And I’ve known you for, what, a month. At most.”
  “Exactly!” Skizz throws out his arm towards her. “I-I just-! I just don’t understand why he would do this…!”
  His anger spent already, he drops to his knees and buries his face in his hands. Normally, he’d be ashamed to cry in front of people he doesn’t know very well. But in this case, he can’t help it and he doesn’t really care. All he can see in his mind’s eye is the cold face of his best friend, just watching him die terrified and in pain. 
  And all Jimmy can do is keep comforting Skizz, unable to think of something to say that would make things better. Even Cleo, with her grudge against Skizz for killing her, is sympathetic; she knows how it feels to die surrounded by enemies. 
  Finally, Skizz rises shakily to his feet and goes back to the pool. “Show me Martyn,” he whispers.
  The image changes to the area at the back of Renchanting, still within the Dogwarts walls. Martyn is kneeling next to a small gravestone, scooping dirt onto a body-shaped mound in front of it. Even from this angle, the writing on the gravestone is clearly visible: “Here lies Skizzleman, loyal bannerman and much loved friend”. 
  “He… He retrieved my body and buried me?” Skizz’s voice cracks as he reaches out to touch the water, as if he can reach through it and comfort his friend. “Oh, Martyn… I’m so sorry for leaving you, Ren, and Etho all alone…”
  In the ensuing silence, Jimmy quietly says, “Looks like we all got burials. Scott buried me in the flower fields and Bdubs buried Cleo near the first house they shared together.” 
  “Something tells me the further we get into the game, the fewer burials we’ll see,” says Cleo sombrely. “We’d better “enjoy” it while we can.”
  While the idea of “enjoying” one’s own burial is a little strange, Skizz can’t keep his eyes off the beautiful memorial his friends have made for him. Though he would give anything to be back there alive with them, he’s comforted by the knowledge that he made an impact. That he didn’t let himself be walked all over until the end. He fought back and he made a difference and thus he’s being honoured by his comrades in death. 
  “Hang in there, guys,” he murmurs. “I believe in you.”

Okay I just HAVE TO get this off my chest right now.
I was watching the new episode of 2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley-bu, and well, I decided to check out the comment section because hey! I want to hear what other fans of the series have to say, liked, and so on.
Instead however-
I was met by the most horrid comment section it reminded me why I usually dont actually interact with the anime community (and usually just talk to myself or make posts like this one that nobody will read aha)
But shit, I like, felt so uncomfortable.
Now before I rant a bit, if anyone skimming this may get offended let me make something clear.
If you just arent into the series, or don't like the show/series, then that's fair.
I have literally no problem if you dont like the show, or are simply expressing that you just dont like it and list your own reasons, I completely respect people's opinions and right to openly criticize series, even if I dont agree with it.
However, the following, while I wont actually attack people for it, just made me so uncomfortable for liking the show that I had to talk about it.
So here we go.
2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley-bu is not a sports shonen and so you shouldnt expect it to be written and animated like one.
People are free to say they dont like the animation, artstyle, or way the series is written, we all have our personal tastes.
But, like, it felt like non of the people commenting had a single brain cell.
No I am not exaggerating.
This series is written is a very particular way, one that I'm ABSOLUTELY loving.
I'm not fond of most writing styles and usually have a hard time reading novels but this one I particularly enjoy.
However, it felt like everyone was bashing it for how it's being written, not understanding what the author is doing or setting up, not even understanding the basic structure or style the author has used for their series.
It honestly made alot of the people complaining sound really dumb, no offence, but you all sound stupid.
Then there were our typical HUGE swarm of "ewww gaaaay, omg he blushed, omg so cringe, ewwww"
Which I mean, every sports anime has so I'm used to the endless flood of these types of comments but I find them really annoying because dont get me wrong.
I'm Queer.
I like LGBT anime/manga but I also really enjoy Yaoi and Yuri in it's pure ridiculous form at times (not I'm not saying all BL or GL is the same, I dont think I need to get into this rn)
And of course I enjoy shamelessly shipping and headcanoning characters as well, whatever I want because it's fun and I am aloud to HEADCANON all I want.
So or course I like to jokingly ship sports anime characters for fun, even if I dont genuinly ship it , or sometimes do.
Because I like certain relationship dynamics they can have that are never explored in anime/manga.
However, being serious for a second, I dont genuinly go around saying characters are "Gay for sure 100% yeeee"
People blush at their friends. People and characters can have deep bonds and relationships that arent romantic whatsoever and can STILL feel more like a romance than a real romance, despite it not being intended in that way at all.
It's so stupid to bash a character for "ewww gaaaay shit" when they blush at, someone they genuinly care about and have a non romantic relationship with?
Idk it just makes them seem dumb, internet trolls suck and I usually ignore them, I just feel like complaining today.
In the end I must say, the most annoying group of people in the comments were, as any 2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley-bu fan has seen, the fucking haikyuu fandom.
I feel like I should note that I love haikyuu, I do, it's great, for a sports shonen I do enjoy it alot.
After all I do love me some sports shonens.
But haikyuu fans need to buy some brain cells or critical thinking abilities.
Listen, to all the normal haikyuu fans like myself, I salute you and this is in no way direct towards any of you.
It's for the....other ones.
Haikyuu and 2.43 seiin koukou danshi volley-bu have a couple things in common.
Volleyball
Their source material started getting serialized around the same times
Some character designs look similar.
And I'd say that's about it.
Neither one "copied" a premise from the other.
Okay? Haikyuu fans? For fuck sake? Can you stop "omg they really are running out of ideas huh"
"Omg this is a haikyuu rip off"
"Omg this is a watered down shitty haikyuu knockoff"
I'm going to shoot myself I swear to god shut up.
No.
No.
And fucking no.
It isnt. They started coming out in the same few years, and start completely different, a knock off? How?
I dont even see it one bit.
Now on the topic of some similar character designs.
To put it in a way haikyuu fans would understand, I've seen over 12 Kageyama "lookalikes" in anime, ones from LONG BEFORE haikyuu, and long after.
It's literally a common thing in any media platform, but we've all seen the same character design used before in diffrent shows.
It's not new, character designs were not stolen, please get a fucking brain cell.
Also he looks more like Saiki.K in most of the anime shots in my opinion.
Now, if you like haikyuu and you're looking for another sports shonen to
Live up to the hype, have the same premise kinda or just that awesome animation and typical sports shonen storyline you love to fill the void until another haikyuu season comes out.
Just feel like watching another sports shonen in general.
It isnt the show for you.
Now if you want to check out a volleyball show, check it out and form your own opinion on it and for the love of god dont compare it to haikyuu.
It's a sports drama.
If you like shes like Stars Align, Battery, or even Ahiru no Sora (which I feel has a nice balance of sports and drama, rather then focusing on either category, it balances both really well) then this is a show for you to check out.
I've watched I think 4 diffrent baseball anime? Maybe 5?
I never once compared them to each other while watching.
While comparisons are fun to do! I love reading about parallels, series that inspired other series and examples of how it was done and all that awesome jazz!
It's not the same as actively comparing a show to another one while you watch it.
Especially when they arent even in the same genre category.
Anyways this probably seems like a pointless rant but the comment section actually crushed my week long built up excitement for the new episode, cause I had the misfortune of opening it first to see who else was hyped and enjoyed the episode, only to find well, all of this crap.
And fans like me who tried to politely digress and explain how the writing style is different than the average sports series, or explain why it's written how it is, alot of them got met with SWARMS of more ignorant and just plain ride comments.
Also all my "you're fucking stupid" comments in this rant, are directed towards those people in particular.
Now if you are simply genuinly confused about why there are time skips, why it's written how it is, or any other things, this is not directed at you.
Not at all.
Not understanding a writing/directing style is a completely innocent thing and there are many fans who would be happy to explain it.
The hate is directly towards the arrogant, annoying, internet trolls and haikyuu fandom who has been getting annoying lately? Especially about this show.
