CASTLEVANIA: NOCTURNE

im having feelings about the uffington white horse again

[batmanego]

so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.

people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.

we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.

the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?

[batmanego]

couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now

[witchyangela]

People really need to realise that “media can affect real life” doesn’t mean “this character does bad things so people will read that and start doing bad things” and actually means “ideas in fiction especially stereotypes about minority groups can affect how the reader views those groups, an authors implicit prejudices can be passed on to readers”

i think some of you dont like narratives or stories or characters i think you just like fanfiction tropes

[taahko]

protagonists can and will be sexist, racist, insensitive, cruel, stupid, etc, especially towards the beginning of a story. these are called character flaws and they are a surprise tool that will lead to narrative fulfillment later

[mapswithoutwyoming]

And sometimes "narrative fulfillment" doesn't mean "the character overcomes their flaws" or even "the antihero is punished for their flaws"! sometimes it means the narrative says "wow was that fucked up or what? anyway i'm rod sterling"

you know how people say that cats and dogs don’t feel love the way humans do but it’s like. “oh they don’t love you they just associate you with warmth and safety and seek out your company and being near you and spending time with you makes them feel comfortable and secure” bro if that’s not love then what the FUCK do you think love is???

really cool how people online have basically turned adhd into a personality trait to the point that if you are trying to bring up ways that it impacts your behaviour (bc it’s an actual disability) people act like there’s something wrong with you. because everyone online acts like it’s a minor personality quirk that either excuses you from all criticism or a cringe tiktok disorder that deserves to be made fun of. as opposed to an actual disability lol

[jingerpi]

people with ADHD are

- 2.8 times more likely to develop dementia

- paid 17% less than their peers

- subject to reduced Life Expectancy by as much as 13 Years

- 8 times less likely to graduate from college (only 5% of Adhd students graduate)

- 4 times more likely to have PTSD

1 in 3 people with ADHD are unemployed, and nearly 1 in 5 are homeless

despite the attempts at pathologizing the medical community does, a lot of this is due to lack of accommodations, but it's far more that some quirky thing which doesn't really hurt people, it is just as genuine a disability as any other

[lesbianralzarek]

i dont see why i cant start a trend, so here goes. lets try to build back our attention spans. lets try to focus on just one thing for as long as possible. lets not watch those "asmr for people with adhd" videos where they fuck up adhd folks even worse. lets resist the urge to reach for our phones when watching a movie. lets read the articles we reblog, even when theyre boring. i know its hard, i have adhd too, but its worth it. i also know that this hard work doesnt always seem super impressive to other people, so id love for yall to tell me in the tags or replies if youve done something, no matter how small, for your attention span. you deserve to feel like youve taken back some of what social media has ripped from you

that "women's sports aren't a refuge for mediocre male athletes" slogan is a bit funny because so far it seems that the anti-trans outrage factory is indeed a refuge for mediocre female athletes. riley gaines tied a trans woman for what, 5th place? and quit swimming. haters would say it's less about her important mission of seething about lia thomas for 500 years and moreso because posing in your swimwear for conservative audiences is simply more successful and surely pays better than being a 5th place swimmer. taylor silverman lost to children in the 7, 10 years old age range and a trans girl smaller and skinnier than her at skateboarding and her complaints about the latter's allegedly insurmountable biological predestination for doing cool tricks made her back the 3k prize money plus the extra cash prize for best trick and then some. angela carini throwing a match after receiving the first punch that left her neither injured nor even bleeding from the nose just cashed in 50 grand for kicking off a harassment campaign against an opponent with too much butch swag. the state of women's sports is so that it pays significantly better to lose and blame big trans about it, especially if you're not exactly the cream of the crop. you'd have to be neck deep in ideology to not see the obvious money trail tbh
