to whom do i owe the biggest apology? no one's been crueler than i've been to me

[bladeklnd-archive]

farewell

this is (hopefully) my final parting post.

[removed]

with that out of the way...

i do not plan on coming back to tumblr. i do not plan on posting to *** anymore, nor do i plan on posting to *** or *** or any of my other sideblogs. ever. period.

when, and if, i do come back to tumblr:

it will not be on this blog.

i will not post the url publicly.

i will not share the url with anyone except mutuals.

if you do find me, i do not care.

this site has done more harm to me than good. while i’m eternally grateful i could help get my cat to the vet, and i’m very thankful to the 1000+ followers spread across my blogs who have helped me grow and learn as an artist and a person, it will never, ever make up for the amount of hatred, harassment, death/r-pe threats, slurs, insults, and other personal trauma that has come out of it.

i shoved myself into far too many uncomfortable positions because of the toxic, backwards people on this site and within its communities, and in the long term it stunted my recovery and happiness, and that is never something i should have to do for people to like me. let it be known that i absolutely will not apologize for being a living, breathing human being with thoughts, feelings, and opinions that do not align with the majority of people on this website, and that is a fucking promise.

i am no saint, but neither is anyone else. the fact that some of you were so willing to jump at the slightest little mistake, harass me, and call me slurs instead of gently telling me i messed up is absolutely telling of your tone, and i am not going to put up with it any longer.

there are maybe a handful of people/mutuals who have definitely been there for me even though we never really spoke, and while i can’t thank you each individually (anxiety, sorry) i’d like to let you know that i really appreciate it, even if this may be the last time you hear from me.

i will leave my art posts up, as well as a handful of my old text posts (the rest are set to private), and this blog will stand as an archive. my deviantart will stand for as long as necessary, but i have still undecided if i will continue to post there either. once this final set of adopts has sold on spritekind, and perhaps any others i might need to get rid of, it will remain inactive indefinitely as well.

i have made my view as crystal clear as i possibly can. this site is, for the most part, toxic, and i cannot have that in the face of my own personal growth. it was fun at times, and at others it was hell, but this departure is necessary. i wish you all well for the future-- and to those who have hurt me, i don’t wish for you to get hurt. i only wish for you to grow into a better person, too.

you deserve to be loved without having to hide the parts of yourself that you think are unlovable.

trump administration just proposed monitering disabled peoples social media accounts to decide if theyre having too much fun. they will use any pictures where you look just a little too happy to strip you of disability benefits. i wish i was joking but google it for yourself if you dont believe me.

the most depressing part of this is it fundamentally misunderstands how disability manifests. someone who can’t stand up 12 hours a day can go on a 20 minute walk and take a happy picture.

if the bill should pass this 20 minute walk with a commemorative picture could lose you your livlihood.

our government in the usa are straight up trying to say disabled people should never be happy or engage with the workd around us.

Not that he has a great track record with this anyway.

Donald Trump and Republicans loudly proclaim themselves to be champions of veterans, but time and time again, they underfund veterans’ car

john went to middle school and the implications kind of explain why he’s so fucked up

you know how 4/13 in 2009 was on a monday? and how some people though john was homeschooled because he was at home during it?

yeah, well, i was just rereading homestuck, and as it turns out, the time on john’s computer is 4:13 p.m. he probably just got home from school, which is supported by the fact that he only started opening his birthday presents in the afternoon.

since he was in the seventh grade, school probably got out at around 3:45, he took a bus home for about twenty minutes or so, dropped his things off, and went up to his room. hell, we’re shown as much on the very first page.

john is facing away from the door. he just entered his room.

on the other hand, dave was in his apartment at 2:13, houston time, and rose was in her house at 1:13, new york time. both of them should have been at school, but neither were. jade, obviously, doesn’t go to school. 

so, we’re left with two options- either the strilondes don’t attend school, or they attend it very sporadically. i’d say given their respective guardians’ personalities, the former was the case for dave -bro was actually pretty smart, and likely considered homeschooling a better option, especially since he was bent on “combat training”- and the latter was the case for rose- unlike dave, she couldn’t walk to school, lived far from a city (and a bus route) and seeing as mom lalonde was an alcoholic, she would often be stuck without a ride. 

essentially, john was the only one of the beta kids who had regular contact with the world before it was destroyed. john’s a good kid, so it’s more than likely that he had real life friends who were killed in the meteor impact. the other beta kids could distance themselves from the destruction of earth, saw the game as a net positive, an escape almost. but john? he didn’t have that luxury.

damn, all this from a measly little time stamp in act one. 

EDIT:

yeah, i got further into the comic and remembered/was told by rose that it’s actually the reverse, and dave’s time is 6:13 while rose’s is 7:13. either way, my point still stands; john, and maybe even dave and rose, went to middle school, and the implications are kinda fucked up.

(Image transcription: a tweet by fatima, @_r0sewater, that says “how to know you’ve internalized capitalism:

- you determine your worth based on your productivity

- you feel guilty for resting

- your primary concern is to make yourself profitable

- you neglect your health

- you think ‘hard work’ is what brings happiness”)

hey guys! i’ve been reading a handful of the tags on this post and realized that this comic really resonates with a lot of people. 

i hope the message is clear: you are loved. you are all lovely individuals trying to make it in a hard, shitty world. times can be tough, but you are tougher. 

homestuck has been an incredible piece of media that has inspired so many throughout the years. although it’s mostly over, the people surrounding it still flourish. sure, it has it’s flaws, everything does– but the community continues to be a warm and inviting place for many. and i am glad i can help most of you feel welcome by these comics.

whenever you’re feeling down and empty, remember that we have your back. and i, like rose, will always be there to remind you how loved you are.

hope you guys had a lovely 4/13
