Oh! this is so wholesome?

[borninthepurple]

The thing with so many version/remake is, ppl will felt protective abt their own fave (their favorite version). So when they find the version they like best, they'll praise it, and will dumbly compare it to the other.

Comparison, in my opinion, super dumb, since: 1) every remake is made taylored with the audience, so the culture and nuance will be different. 2) it is depended on the writer/director vision too. since these writers/directors are humans and has their own mind and believe and life value, their perception and the way they will tell the same story will be different too. 3) the next version will want to fill the gap they felt lacking from the previous version or they want to do as different. 4) and to be realistic, every showrunner/showmaker will want to make their own thing that differ from the previous (whether they want it to be more romantic/realistic/complicated/more angsty/whatever. Because you dont want to just copy-pasted it, better if you just dubbed the original if this is the case. 5) any other reasons.

Also, back to my point, since we are protective with the version we loved, we tend to be defensive even when comparison isnt made. when someone said xxx version dealt with yyyy better (without saying compared to what), we felt insulted and want to pointed out why we love our fave version/remake. And the circle of resentment start.

I've seen people watch every version there is and then made commentaries just for the sake of comparing. I mean, if you love your version, then stick with it. You want to check out the other version and then bashed it because it is differ from your beloved ones, well, that's just sad tbh.

Because we all have had our opinion set. You saying things like that will be just, starting an endless sad circle. Since the way someone/viewer felt about some remake or the others not necessarily due to the same way as it is for you.

Maybe it is the language that made it more relatable to them (ive seen in a comment before that someone cant watch the remake in their own language since they felt cringe hearing it//exactly me. I cannot stand watch romantic movies in my own mother language lol, but no. No skam remake ever made in my country. Im asian.) Maybe it was the actors performance that made such an impression to them so they felt it more. Maybe it was the sequence of things. Maybe it is the things that the remake change. Maybe it is the way the scene was recorded. Maybe it is the songs/soundtracks. Camera angle. Certain quirks of certain people. So. Many. Things.

So, when someone dictated that we shouldn't love certain version because it is not the way the stories intended to be told or because it is too dramatic or whatever. Well, you don't know what made this certain version so endearing to us. So please just stop.

You can disagree with a version, about how you dont like the stories they been told, but you cannot just dismissed it and say 'hey that version sucks, you shouldve watch this version instead. It has better story and told the way it is supposed to be told'.

Im rambling. But it's okay. I just got off hot debate with someone abt this on insta. Hhhh.

hey reblog/reply with how old u were when u discovered fanfic, what year it was, and what site

[borninthepurple]

I'll reblog this to remind myself. Dont mind me.

It was 2015 and it was about Supernatural (Gen only) because I cannot handle how sad Dean and Sam story as a sibling against the world. I remember I love the winchester kid fics the most because they always about how Dean trying to be a good 8yo brother/mother/father/teacher/care taker to his 4yo little brother.

Yes, i now mostly read abt my otp, but those pure fics got the best place in my heart and memory.

I think we should start putting less pressure on gay people to ‘come out’ and more pressure on straight people to stop assuming everyone’s sexuality is fucking straight

25-35 is such a weird fucking age because you’re 100% a bread-and-butter Standard Edition Millennial but the cool teens are like “ok boomer” because you have a Real Job but the actual Boomers at your job are like “I’m not going to listen to a literal fucking child” as they download 16 self-replicating viruses and meanwhile the Gen Xers are telling you to refinance a mortgage for a house you don’t have and you’re sitting there at the Adults Table with the pretty tasty casserole you cooked because you’ve finally figured out how to do that now but everyone is eating the Boomer’s store-bought macaroni instead and admittedly they do sort of taste similar so it probably wasn’t worth all the trouble of cooking from scratch and you’re trying to comfort the freshly-graduated sobbing 22-year-old next to you because she just woke up here and doesn’t know where she is but you have like maybe 5k dollars in a savings account labelled RETIREMENT that grows approx. twelve cents a year and you keep eating dry macaroni while smiling incomprehensibly and periodically blacking out like ??????????

Projecting a little. This powerful denial.

---- idk what's wrong w/ me. So pathetic. I feel so offended by her questions yesterday and even hated her a little, and then the very next day i found my self write a long apologize text to her? What did this said abt me?  I should feel offended and sad. Because that is true, the things she said and asked is really offensive and im feeling attacked. The thing is, i wont know if me react so strongly of it is because of my believe, or because that's the reasonable thing that will happen to everyone when their everyday thing being question, when something they held as the truth being asked. Or is it because deep down i knew there's some slice of truth in there (or just a lack of confirmation abt the otherwise) that makes me react so strongly. Because i always did react like that when there's some ugly truth being thrown to my face. Something that i tried very hard to ignored and not acknowledged. Because even i need to admit it, there's too much hole there and lack of reading at my part and the no absolute truth part and the wavering believe. It's too much and it scared me and it makes me second-guessing everything all over again and turned out, i am pissed. At her. So it keeps looping around my head, sour my mood, and keeps me on verging tears. Her questions keeps making me squirms and make me uncomfortable in my skin. And this thoughts turns to how i did answer her question that day. If I even did justice with it and give her an answer worthy to throw away that offensive question? Or just made it worse, made it so she looks at me different, made it so i am confirming her accusation is right, and i should know better, and when turned i am not, i suddenly does not fit into her assumption about me anymore. And it a lil terrifying. Because, you see, if my answers is insufficient, then she will take it that her offensive question has some truth in it (which rages me on and want to slaps her again). And i feel it in my bone that my answer is the nothing near sufficient. It felt defensive and weak and bordering insulting, i guess. And it makes me look lame and close-minded and i dont like it. By God I really dont like it. That's why I wanted her to stop. Dont ever discussed this kind of thing again with me, because I cannot promise her that i wont feel offended. And to do that, to tell her that, i wont ever, in my life, taking the brave road. I wont ever tell it to her, with a clear words and warning. Never. I am a coward, and a passive-aggressive bitch, who would use a disguising method to get across my plea and warning. That is why I am gonna apologize to her, for my defensive answers and maybe talk abt how i sorry i am for not being open-minded with this kind of thing. This way, i wont come across like someone who can take defeat with grace and she wont repeat this kind of question in the future. Is it a coward way? To avoid things like this instead of talking it through so that question being answered enough or, if cannot, just asked her simply to stop? Yes. It is a cowardly way. But is it better? Is it the only thing that can make me sleep better at night? Yes, i think so. I'll take it instead of another limbo between pissed off and insecure at night. Also, maybe, at the end, it is just me making a big deal out of what simply an everyday queries. Huh. What's new?------

IF 👏 YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 A 👏 WITCH 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 DRAW 👏 YOUR 👏 "WITCHSONA"👏

I honestly have no idea where you fools got this idea, but it has to stop.

Idgaf if you’re drawing your hogwarts oc or whatever, but when you start incorporating stereotypical/traditional elements of REAL witches (e.g. besoms, pentacles, cauldrons, striped stockings, pointed hats, familiars, wands), it’s time for you to go fuck yourself.

Just as you don’t have an “inner sassy black woman”, you don’t have an “inner witch”.

The way I practice my religion is not yours to take to show your “bohemian side”.

It’s doubly offensive if you are a non-witch Christian, considering you tried to commit genocide against our ancestors.

[the-witches-glossary]

I disagree with this. Art is art. People draw trees even though they are not trees, and so on. I am not offended at all by people drawing their “witchsona”. It’s art! It’s a fictional character! People draw all kinds of characters which are not really them. Why do people want to get all bent out of shape about everything? It’s ART!

Not to mention that witchcraft is not a religion.

[love--witch]

Not to mention that witchcraft is not a religion

Say it louder for the people in the back

[witchsuggest]

Is this what people in the witch community argue about now

[wickedsxn]

People drawing witchsonas is okay👌It’s art. What it’s not okay is people who “wanna be witches” just because they think is cool or aesthetic, if you want to do witchcraft you have to truly belief and you’ll have to truly do witchcraft. I say this because there’s people like that, I know people like that

[moniquill]

Gonna double down here and say, as a witch, that yes it’s totally fine for people to want to be witches because it’s cool and/or they like the aesthetic. It doesn’t hurt me or my craft any, and it doesn’t hurt yours either. Who the fuck cares what others believe or how they choose to practice?

[sonneillonv-deactivated20220218]

As a witch, wtf is wrong with witchsonas.  I mean, sure, they confuse me a little when I’m trying to find my people, but fuck’s sake, the aesthetic is half the fun of this.

Are we not allowed to have fun anymore?

[oceanwitch]

“but when you start incorporating stereotypical/traditional elements of REAL witches (e.g. besoms, pentacles, cauldrons, striped stockings, pointed hats, familiars, wands)” Sorry, that made me laugh. - Besoms. Brooms. It’s not exactly common knowledge that brooms are sacred symbols and tools. People who just think witches are fairy tales have no idea what they mean. To them, a broom is just a flying broomstick. Please dont make it out to seem that they’re appropriating a religion, like wearing rosaries when you aren’t catholic, or using a Menorah as a fashionable candle holder. Because since they are well known religions, the uses for those objects are common knowledge. Most of the world’s population knows that those object are from a specific religion. - pentacles. The five pointed star doesn’t belong to only witches. It’s a universal symbol. - Cauldrons. Do you think that witches are the only people who use cauldrons? People gotta make soup too, not just potions! - Striped Socks…. I’m not even going to comment on that. This is a trend started from the Wizard of Oz, it has nothing to do with traditional witchcraft. - Pointed hands. Pointed hats didn’t start with witches. There are various possible origins that started it. Some believe it is from the Jewish Pointed Hand, or skull cap, which means it’s a symbol of anti semitism. Double with the stereotype of witches having big noses, this theory is strengthened on where the witch’s pointed hat came from. Other theories are that it came from the Dunce Hat. Or the Hennins from the middle ages. - Familiars. I’m sorry, people are not allowed to have animal companions now? - Wands. Well, Harry Potter must boil your blood. My point for wands is the same as my point for bessoms. Most people think that witches are mythical beings. They don’t actually believe people use wands. Moral to my post is: Witchcraft isn’t a religion. Witchcraft doesn’t lay claim to these stereotypes. Witchsona’s are not appropriation. It’s just a form of expression. Get over yourself.

[borninthepurple]

Why. This is why I love tumblr. You will not see this kind of discussion and raging outside of this site (unless it's in their own community).

Other will see that this kind of theme is so unnecessary and unimportant. But, in fact, it is for some. The very existence of these posts is the evidence.

[borninthepurple]

When you felt unsettled and high-strung and the people besides you raise their voice at their phone. Please stop. It makes me wanna scream too and scratch someones face. Or something violent.

[arealarchaeopteryx]

please don't ever think that no one cares about you

I work in an ER and we see suicides all the time. And we get at least 3 suicidal ideations a night. We all care about you. I promise, we do. A team of complete strangers who have worked 3+ 12 hour shifts this week who are being screamed at all day and night and probably haven’t had lunch and trust me, we still love you and care about you.

We had a 16 year old patient last night who we couldn’t save. We were in that room with this patient for over an hour, we did everything we could. And let me tell you, we all cried. The EMT’s, the nurses, the doctor. We all huddled together in the doctors dictation room and cried.

I went through the rest of my shift with smudged mascara and tracks on my cheeks.

I remember the names of all the patients that have taken their lives on my shifts.

I remember squeezing the hands, smoothing the hair, kissing the foreheads, and wiping away the blood and the vomit of every patient that has left me too soon.

I can still see every face that I have zipped into a body bag.

Trust me, someone cares about you. You have never met them yet. You don’t ever think about them. They are never remembered when you talk about heroes and role models.

But someone loves you.

[shroom-goddess]

damn….

This made me cry

[croatoan-the-line]

When I was in hospital being seen to, being bandaged and sedated and surrounded by medical staff, my family was ignoring my calls, my friends hadn’t cared to check in. I felt terrified and hopeless and so very unimportant that it was taking everything it had in me to not drink the cleaning products left nearby by one of the cleaners, to make sure I finished the job properly.

There was a nurse though, who came into my room with a soft smile, who held my hand, who took away the bottles when she noticed me watching them for too long. There was a nurse that plugged in my phone to charge in case my family called back, that took away the bloody cloths the paramedics had left me with, that helped me put my hair up when it was sticking to my tear streaked face, because my arms were too sore to do it myself.

There was a nurse that saved my life twice in one night, who made me feel that I was worth being looked after, and her name was Emma and she was the most beautiful person I’ve met.

Months later, I was visiting my mother at the same hospital whilst she was incapacitated with back concerns. Whilst I sat and watched my mum sleeping, a nurse approached to check up on her. She met my gaze and she smiled immediately, face lit with recognition, and she said “oh my gosh, hey! How are you doing?”

People definitely do care about us even if we don’t think they do, and to the original poster?

Your faces are never forgotten either.

You’re more than heroes to me.

[servicek9s-deactivated20180617]

Im not crying you are 

[call-me-maddieee-deactivated202]

I remember the paramedics that picked me up recently after my attempt. They said they were “rooting for me to get better.” They said they “wouldn’t ever stop hoping I get better.” they too said they wouldn’t “forget my face.” It really sits with you when you realize people that don’t even know you care about you and are rooting for you.

[borninthepurple]

A kind remember, folks.

It is worth it. Someone loves you.

Title: A Daydream Away Made: 2017

[borninthepurple]

Dam it.

Just read kuroshitsuji 129. It got me like AW! AW! DAMMIT! Suspected it but didnt really believe it. Even now I still think it's some kind of trick pulled by that bling-bling-shine-bright-like-a-diamond boy to attack on Ciel(and I just firmly believe that somehow there's gonna be undertaker there somewhere pulling those strings). But that doesnt mean that Ciel didnt hide something crucial from the reader (even from Sebastian) because he has those memories from when he's in the cage where it looked like (when I first noticed it, and now about 97% sure) Ciel has sacrificed someone to gain his power. Maybe it's himself, like some kind of symbolism and shit, or maybe someone else. And I even think it has something to do with Vincent. It has to. Not only because all those comments about him being so similar to his father that lately been dished out so many times much to Ciel's irksome is most likely a hint, but also, I would like to bet that there must be a Vincent in those photo Agni's been seeing. Or maybe it's not even Ciel's twin. What if it is Vincent? A young Vincent? *gasp* There's a possibility, you know, what with Undertaker's obsession with him (and I'm a little suspicious that all Undertaker's action to make these living dead thing is to found out about prolong someone's life or even to resurrect a dead one--yes, I do mean Vincent's). But I dont really buy it's Vincent, you know, because from what I see, Ciel (and Ciel twin)'s appearance is based on her mother. Their droppy eyes and light hair, where Vincent has more darker shades. So, if it is Vincent, idk, will Ciel's blood makes that much difference? What really bother me is, I just done catching up with this series again after a year and half absent, and I had to come in the middle of things? Like how much worse my arrival can be? :/ Why didnt I came where all those secrets been revealed? Instead I came exactly where things hanging precariously in the cliffhanger. So damn inconvenient! Dammit! Bad timing is bad! (I even do the same thing with Akagami no Shirayukihime, where I catching up a chapter too soon, right where Zen would met Shirayuki after months of updates nothing happens. Again, dammit!)

[borninthepurple]

Why god why. I just want Zen to meet Shirayuki. Why chapter 88 is so far away?

[borninthepurple]

How can you? I cannot.

I knew I had the tendencies to bottled up my emotion, especially if it’s in somekind will lead to awkwardness and uncomfortable situation. I tend to shut my mouth and let it be, then let it fester and later made me guilty to the point where I felt the need to apologize eventhou it is not really my fault.

But this is frightened me. So much. Because I had all these tendencies, that when someone close to me did something that bother me or hurt me, I wont address it properly to avoid worse things. And I’ll repressed my opinion on those things and that will makes me cranky, and passive-aggressive. And because I cannot tell them how annoying they are or how their action hurts me, I’ll start to resent them. For easily do those things to me and didn’t realize the impact of their action. I realise with glaring clarity that I’m partly, or mostly responsible for their ignorance, but it doesn’t stop me from resent them. All I can comprehend was they hurt me and they didn’t even know it and they didn’t apologize to me about it and I did nothing because I’m a coward who is too chicken-shit to point out problems like that and disturb the easiness.

The thing with my resentment is I can even surprise my self with how strongly disgusted I am to someone I resent, regardless who they are to me, How viciously I want to hurt them back. How fiercely I want to hurl these cruel things to their face. And that’s just not healthy. The more close someone are to me, the more vehemently these things can become.

And it scares me. How can I live with someone, how can I endured someone, if they can turn me into someone like this? How can I let someone be close to me, if their opinion, their little things can get to me like this? It’s so frightening. And I cannot imagine how I can survived it. How people can do these things?
