Everything But The Fallout

All the stuff that's fit to reblog: cuteness, boosts, humor, progressive and socialist content, silliness, rants, and my rambling responses to a million things. Run by a disabled, non-neurotypical, multiple-survivor thriller/horror writer in her thirties.

Another ridiculous mod idea

So I have little time right now but when my brain's too dead for anything else I watch my guy play Cyberpunk 2077.

Now, the Animals are obnoxious musclebeasts and some of the things they shout during combat are horny as well as threatening. The dudes will yell stuff like "dicks harrrrd" but I haven't heard their giant musclebound women yell anything equivalent.

Then I got to thinking about what even WOULD be the female equivalent and went wait...Futurama already has us covered....

Can some bored modder make this happen please I'd love to watch my guy go giggleshit in the middle of the Pacifica Mall gig

Ah, the family drama roller coaster

I'm so glad I didn't fly out because oh. My God.

Over the course of a week everything has gone from "This is Movie of the Week shit" to "This is crime novel shit" to "I'm never speaking to this asshole again and want to hit up AITA because this is so confusing" to "wait people are apologizing?" with barely any break

I kinda want to hibernate until spring at this rate

This person said this to me over a random tag I left on a photo months ago and I don't know how to tell them I have a debilitating mental illness that makes me unable to leave my house

[passionpeachy-deactivated202312]

Spent this entire day alone in bed crying so hard because OCD is ruining my life and I keep having paranoid breakdowns and then I see this.......at least it made me stop crying and made me annoyed instead so thanks

[squidward985]

This is so good and succinct I wanted to reblog it

[dopesotherstuff]

Can we just agree that nitpicking people's diction when describing their own mood and mental health is a dick move and a waste of everyone's time and energy, please

And being mentally ill yourself isn't really an excuse for this kind of thing. We're supposed to have each others' backs, not march into each others' random posts, zero in on some tiny issue that isn't worth getting heated over, and start shit over it.

Everyone with mental illness is already exhausted and suffering--don't run around adding to it ok? It's not that hard

Seriously what did they think was going to happen? Misogyny makes no exceptions. Simping for men who bear a huge prejudice against you won't make them spare you. You're still less than human to them.

[dopesotherstuff]

Okay, never trying that again....

The problem with offering kind advice to some romantically desperate, clueless guy when you're a woman is that you risk becoming a target of his obsessive drive to get his danglies wet.

[Yeah, being kind to an incel was absolutely a mistake...though it is entirely his fault that I regret doing so. But I probably still should have known better.]

Like...here I am, very upfront about being married, just trying to see if an unhappy singleton guy can actually be reached with some compassionately phrased facts and logic about how successful hetero relationships actually work. I listened to his complaining, corrected some of his massive misconceptions about women, and offered some things he could do to boost his chances of attracting someone. (This guy apparently hasn't even figured out regular bathing yet, so it didn't take much).

Next thing I know, I have dickpics in my inbox and a creepy idiot trying to cyberstalk me into having sex with him. His response to my 20-year marriage? "He doesn't have to know." No fucking respect.

He didn't care about my knowledge of women or my experience as someone in a successful marriage. He didn't give a shit about anything but getting his nut. I'm a woman, I have a vag, and I can supply the nut he wants, WHY AREN'T I GIVING HIM SEX RIGHT NOW?!???!??!??

Fucking pig. Blocked, reported, etc. That's an hour I'll never get back.

How the Hell are women supposed to have empathy for guys like this when in their little pea brains we're nothing but bodies to have sex on--at best? There is no reaching such men; they don't fucking listen. And their behavior makes the price of being kind to them too high to risk it. No woman wants to go through the kind of bullshit that I just did. It was literally like being punished for being kind.

And honestly, if a man is going to be that much of a disrespectful, creepy testicle with legs, his problems with women are clearly self-generated and COMPLETELY deserved.

Family stuff

My mother's family, with the exception of two people, hates me. They hate that I'm "crazy" (autistic), they hate that I take after my dad instead of them, and they hate that I'm poor from being disabled instead of "properly successful".

No matter how hard or desperate my life has been, I've never gotten a scrap of sympathy or support from anyone on that side except for the equally "exiled" gay uncle or my other uncle's sweetheart girlfriend.

When my mother died, I basically dropped off the face of the Earth to these people. I never get so much as a Christmas card from them. Nobody ever contacts me to see how I'm doing. Et cetera. Anyone who is the odd one out in a shitty family knows the drill.

[Except now there's a situation with them that I'm trying to figure out how to handle.]

The thing is, there's now been a death in the family, on the other coast. I found out from my "acceptable" neurotypical sister and my Dad, whose phones got blown up while I didn't even get a text about the matter. And yet, despite that side of the family never even bothering to talk to me directly, I am expected to attend the damn funeral. For a woman who has never once in my whole life so much as phoned me to say hello. Because, of course, I'm expected to give of myself and "do my duty to the family" while they try to pretend I don't even exist.

I LITERALLY cannot take time off and fly over for the funeral because I can't make enough to keep the lights on around here if I take that many days off. But I'm being leaned on by the rest of my family to attend anyway. So I don't make people angry. The same people who already hate and exclude me for things I absolutely can't help.

My man thinks I should skip it and that I owe that side of the family exactly nothing, especially when going over there would cause us hardship and we're already behind on bills. But there are some people involved whom I don't want to disappoint, and they're the only family I have left.

I honestly don't know what to do.

[Video id: a man edited to be sitting in a jail cell, miming singing along to a song. The video cuts to the close up of a priest, where he starts angrily rolling up a newspaper. He smacks the camera about six times with the newspaper and starts quietly yelling and occasionally hitting the screen for emphasis.

"Stop it! Stop! Stop the whining and the sniveling right now! There are Christians in this world who are oppressed, yes. There are Christians in North Korea who can't go to worship without risking being thrown into a Gulag. There are Christians in Palestine who can't even get to their churches because of Israeli checkpoints and walls. You are not oppressed as a Christian in this country. Quit your sniveling whining! That savior you claim to serve said take up your cross and follow him and you're whining and crying because what? Because nobody's letting you treat gay people like shit anymore?! What the hell is wrong with you? Quit whining! Stop it!"

End id.]

American Conservative Christian: *sobbing in self-pity*

Other Christians throughout the world and history: What's wrong, brother?

ACC: I'M SO OPPRESSED

Roman Christian: Oh no! Did they throw you to the lions?

Indian Christian: Did they burn down your house and beat you on suspicion that you were "preaching"?

Korean Christian: Were you imprisoned along with thousands of others?

Soviet Christian: Did they shut down your church and confiscate your property?

Palestinian Christian: Did they shut you away from your own churches and holy sites and threaten you if you tried to visit?

Peruvian Christian: Did they kidnap, rape and murder a bunch of you while you were doing charity work?

ACC: THEY WON'T LET US TAKE OVER AND RUN EVERYTHING...THEY P-PROTECT MEMBERS OF OTHER RELIGIONS FROM MY WRATH...THEY WON'T LET ME PUNISH HOMOSEXUALS EITHER...I'M NOT ALLOWED TO BURN S-SINFUL BOOKS WITHOUT BEING CALLED A FASCIST ASSHOLE...THEY EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE OTHER HOLIDAYS AT CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

Other Christians who have actually suffered because of their faith: are you kidding me right now

Monsters but wholesome

Vampires are helpless against sunlight...it puts them right to sleep like cats. However, this can be embarrassing, so they avoid it and spread the whole "burst into flames" story to cover for themselves

Werewolves love barbecue and any sport that involves chasing a ball. They also adopt a lot of dogs.

The Monster Under the Bed became besties with a little kid and just followed them to different homes throughout their life like a scary but friendly dog. He's eaten three burglars and a serial killer so far

Yuki-Onna finally found a spouse who will keep her secret and they run an ice cream shop together. Her powers secretly help them save on electricity

Ghosts in the local haunted house secretly shelter homeless kids, and scare the crap out of creeps and would-be traffickers

A mummy rises from his tomb and ends up an absolute star in academic circles, with Egyptologists following him around like ducklings

Mothman but he squeaks, likes flowers, and has a ridiculous sweet tooth

A Barghest that just really, really, really wants someone to throw the ball :(

Merfolk are actually responsible for salmon sharks looking domesticated--because they are and tend to be spoiled silly by their owners

A lil baby Rakshasa who is the quiet kid in daycare until he has to protect his friends, who basically treat him like a superhero

Sea monsters that sort of "hang out" near shorelines where rip currents happen, and nudge humans who get caught in them back to shore like a little kid tossing stranded starfish back into the surf

Yikes

We've had the Internet for well over a generation now. People with access to it also have access to a ton of reliable information on almost any subject, if they're willing to do a little research and think critically. You would think that those with Net access would have become much more well-informed than those who never had it.

Instead, we have rabid anti-intellectuals who believe anything their in-group tells them while screaming "fake news!" about anything they don't want to hear.

We have grown-ass men with information about cis female anatomy, sexuality, and bodily functions at their fingertips who still think women can "hold their periods" and that the vag has a vacuum function.

We have entire groups, like the incels, who make up the most irrational, bafflingly stupid, non-reality-based mythology about women, men, sex, romance, and life in general, and believe in it so fervently that there's no getting through to them with facts and logic.

We have people who know three coding languages but somehow talk and think like the rest of their education came from a one-room shack schoolhouse in the 1800s.

People "fact-checking" others without...checking their own facts first.

Male podcasters having serious discussions, on camera, about how the female orgasm must not exist because they personally have never made a woman cum. (As commenters have said, most guys with any brains or self-awareness wouldn't even admit that shit under torture).

It would all be hilarious if it wasn't so pathetic.

It's really painful to watch just how many people these days seem to have been beaten half to death with the stupid stick. And the thing is, they're doing it to themselves.

It's never been easier or cheaper to educate yourself on the basics of any subject. And yet huge numbers of people are using the same resource they could use to gather information to be confidently incorrect in front of an audience.

Willful ignorance is a HELL of a drug.

"But I'm a nice guyyyyy"

Expecting sex as a reward for not being an asshole is like expecting a medal for not shitting on the floor. Being "nice" is one of the bare minimums for participating in public life, not an exceptional act worthy of respect and rewards. If not acting like a raging toolbox is so fucking difficult for you that you think you're entitled to a reward for it, you're not a nice person in the first place. You're an asshole who is trying to hide it in the hopes of tricking someone into sleeping with you.
