My Goodbye

Okay, time to do this. Hey, its been probably...two or three years(?)...since I posted any real content on this account. I have had my reasons. I doubt anyone here actually remembers me, or if any of my past followers still use tumblr. This account was something I made when I was I think around 12 to 14. I was a dumb kid who thought I knew how the world worked. I made plenty of mistakes and have done things in those many years as a teen that I regret, especially, on this account. Just looking at my username reminds me of said mistakes, and I’ve been haunted by it for quite a while. Sometimes I’d find my old art on my pc, or see it on pinterest or fandom aminos and once again, I feel a strange sense of pain looking at my old works as (again) it reminds me ever so strongly of many things from my past. As I grew older, I grew to understand the world a bit more but never received any strong karma from the things I did and said in the past that I now regret (unless the feeling of regret itself counts) and this has haunted me for a very very very long time.  I’ve thought about deactivating this account and just restarting fresh. But I’ve already left a huge footprint with this name especially in my watermarks and such, and anything that’s on the internet stays on the internet. Disappearing without a word would just mean me running away, and as much as I want to because of all my fears and anxieties, everyone’s past will always catch up to them. That is why I’m keeping this account and leaving this message here, but I’ll no longer be using it outside of contacting certain friends. I hate this username, this account, and my old art(not because they were bad but because of the person I was when I created them) and things I’ve posted. I also don’t want to risk any imposter accounts and such (the chances are small because I was a relatively small and niche creator but I’m very paranoid). It hurts me too much staring at this account. I want to start fresh as someone else and this time I will do my best not to make the same mistakes I made as jielyx. This kid was a part of me that had to make way too many mistakes to grow and I’m so glad that I wasn’t hurt by anyone for being the way that I was during those times. The people I’ve met were patient and tolerant with me even at times when I didn’t deserve it (at least that is what I feel like looking back). If I met the old me, I’d want to smack some sense into her to be honest. This letter is also to assure anyone at all who thinks about me that wherever I am in the future, I swear, I’m doing alright. If you somehow recognize me through my works and go back to this account, please know that I’m no longer the same person you remember (I’ll try my best not to be, I promise). To anyone I might’ve hurt in the past, I sincerely apologize. I’m sorry if I ever hurt any of you. I’m sorry to anyone who had to put up with me. I’m sorry if I ever made anyone feel uncomfortable or unsafe. If I had the chance to go back in time and take alotta things back, I would, I swear, I would. There’s just so many things I wish I handled better, things I did better, things I never did. Its been eating me away and I believe this never-ending guilt has been my lasting punishment. Right now, the least I could do for myself is give myself the smallest chance at peace and I feel like letting go of the old me is the only way to do it. These thoughts have been in my head every hour of every day, and I want to take a step in getting rid of them. Maybe I don’t deserve peace, who knows. But I know I need it. I’m really thankful for everyone who participated in the silly events that I’d announce like the milestone art raffles and the character weeks and other stuff like that. I’m also very thankful for all the art trades and fanart(I’ve kept and compiled many of them in a folder). And...I’m thankful for the experience I had with the people here. Some of y’all were too polite to a little brat like me...heh. It’s time for me to go on to the next stage in my life. Again...thank you.

[estebun]

So I just got this message literally few minutes ago

And if YOU get this message in the future DON’T YOU FUCKING DARE CLINK ON THE LINK I FUCKING SWEAR TO GOD I WILL CUT YOUR HANDS OFF

A warning to all of my followers there no such a thing as @exposingthoselosers I just thought any form of information is good and can protect my followers from getting their phone or any other devices hacked if you’re connect to the wifi they might hack all of the devices connected.

DO NOT FUCKING CLICK ON ANU LINK YOU GET NOT EVEN FROM UR FRIENDS ON TUMBLR BECAUSE THEY COULD GET HACKED 👀

Pls share this awareness ⚠

[izzyfandoms]

Also blogs get hacked or something and send these without the blog owner’s consent. I got this message and then afterwards the person who sent it to me said they didn’t send that.

[angelcatsiel]

got a message from a mutual today similar to this and they later messaged me to say it wasn’t them so yeah be careful

[djpaige13paige]

Basically if you get this message, don’t click on it, instead tell the person that you received that message. That way they know that they were hacked.

If I ever send you any message, especially if it has a link, message me back about the message before you click on the link. I will understand because things like this^^ can happen.

[liviastudiespsych]

Guuuuys. I’ve received this

I’ve checked with the person running the account and it was a virus. Sooo… Be careful

[a-shakespearean-in-paris]

I just got a message like this and thought it sounded familiar. Be careful everyone!

[hazel2468]

Yeah hey followers I do NOT go around randomly sending links, so if you get something like this from me, let me know because I did NOT send it.

[shallowspocketdimension]

This sounds so similar to this other thing when people send you a link to a cursed eurovision fanfic but it turns out to be a virus.

Please stay safe darlings!

[thatlesbiancrow]

yeah i don’t send links without context.

[simminglytimeladies]

Dearest followers, if something like this happened, DON’T CLICK on the link!!! I won’t send links without context and I want you guys to stay safe!

[writing-prompt-s]

All you’ve ever wanted was to be feared and rule the world but every villainous act you commit backfires. Steal candy from a baby? Poisoned candy, baby saved. Steal the baby? Abusive parents. Threw a woman off a building? Push she needed to unlock her powers of flight, she’s now your sidekick.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Newly acquired toddler: Mr. Evil man you sure are helping a lot of people. Villain: Finish eating your lunch, Timmy. Daddy’s plotting to overthrow the Big Bank. Sidekick: Oh that’s great, John! They’re so corrupt. I’ll cancel my plans with Linda tonight. She’s gonna love this. Villain: *crumples up evil plans and throws them across the room* DAMMIT!

*the plans land in the recycling bin*

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

me: *posts vampire content involving mirrors*

all 500 comments from people who all read the same tumblr post in 2013: ACTUALLY, vampires don’t have reflections in antique SILVER backed mirrors, but NOW mirrors are back with ALUMINU-

me:

[vampireapologist-archive-deacti]

No, guys. The point is that this isn’t “true.” It isn’t false either. The European Standard of Vampires this lore is used for doesn’t exist. But! Their stories have existed in dozens of cultures for thousands of years.

Throughout the centuries and across continents, the lore surrounding Vampires and the “rules” applied to them have transformed.

The “no reflection” thing isn’t extremely common, and even when it does appear in lore or fiction, it isn’t exclusively attributed to the silver-purity theory.

Being the stuff of legend, Vampires are public domain that we can all enjoy and transform to fit new stories.

However, in the last three years, any time I’ve seen a single creator (on tumblr, twitter, youtube, goodreads, even tiktok) make a reference to Vampires’ reflections, dozens or even hundreds of people pipe in to state “the reason Vampire didn’t use to have reflections is because of silver-backed mirrors. They WOULD have them now, because mirrors are backed with aluminum.”

As if the story-teller has made some sort of mistake for deciding their vampires still have no reflection.

The problem isn’t sharing interesting lore and theories. The problem is claiming this lore as a fact, as if it must be followed to accurately portray Vampires.

I’ve made posts about this before, notably about the way people have decided that there is no separation of ancient Changeling myths from neurodivergent child abuse.

Studying, examining, even criticizing, and reimagining ancient stories and beings is an extremely good time.

But don’t make the mistake of hearing a theory so compelling that you decide it’s the one and only way.

One hard and fast version and rule is the antithesis to the very core of folklore itself.

Drop the pedantic “actually,” and try starting with “one cool theory I’ve heard is-” instead.

JUST SOME THOUGHTS. I KNOW it’s not THAT deep. But maybe…..it’s important to learn how to separate popular modern beliefs from historical references.

[mythicalcoolkid]

Hey so being attracted to men isn’t worse than being attracted to non-men and it’s not something you have to show disgust over or “make up for” or say you hate. This kinda rhetoric is literally just homophobia but make it woke and it directly harms mlm so can we please stop it

[mythicalcoolkid]

Queer men haven’t put up with decades of being told that liking men is gross and you should hate being attracted to men just to have that exact same sentiment thrown at us from people in our own community and this absolutely includes queer women who are attracted to men

[blaruto]

I still think Moana deserved an Oscar for this part

[i-want-cheese]

To me, the moral of Moana is that only women can help other women heal from male violence. 

The movie starts with the idea that the male god who wronged Te Fiti must be the one to heal her. This seems to make a certain sort of intuitive sense in that I think we all believe that if you do something wrong you should try to make it right. But how does he try to right it? Through more violence. Of course that failed. 

It was only when another woman, Moana, saw past the “demon of earth and fire” that the traumatized Te Fiti had become (what a good metaphor for trauma, right?) and met her with love instead of violence that she was able to heal. Note that they do the forehead press before Moana restores the heart, while Te Fiti is still Te Kā. Moana doesn’t wait for her beautiful island goddess to appear in all her green splendor before greeting and treating her as someone deserving of love.

Moana is only able to restore the heart because Te Kā reveals her vulnerability and allows Moana to touch her there. Maui and his male violence could only ever have resulted in more ruin.

[visibilityofcolor]

@i-want-cheese

This is a touching anaylisis but it’s extremely racist as not only have you completely ignored the whole point of Maui’s character, but have managed to incriminate a man of color on a tumblr wide scale.

First of all, Maui’s character does not represent male violence—it represent human greed. Maui did not take the heart because he is a man, and Te-Fiti is a woman. He took it because the humans asked him to. The humans asked Maui to do everything for them, not caring how greedy or selfish their requests were and in the end it was Maui who suffered for it. Maui is supposed to show the flaw of humanity.

This has nothing to do with sexism, it has everything to do with the fact that Maui gave and gave to the humans who could never stop being greedy. Moana giving the heart back wasn’t supposed to be her “making up” for the male violence that Maui represents. It was her making up for the greed she and her people represent. It was touching however because yes it was an important moment between two women, but you missed the point and you’ve come off racist and very disrespectful to a culture at that.

Yes, Moana is an empowering movie for women, especially women of color. But the last thing this is about is Maui being an abuser/rapist or whatever. That is not the point of Maui’s character.

And to assume so is racist. You are a white woman completely dehumanizing a man of color and ruining his image because of how you see him. And other white girls here on tumblr have happily picked up that image and interpretation and rolled with it. Maui’s character is now seen as an abuser or as someone who is violently because of white girls here on tumblr—which it doesn’t surprise me. (an in a historical context this is even MORE racist because white women would always make Maui’s people out to be savages and abusers etc., simply because of the color of their skin and their culture so yea, this is bad).

You can see the morality of the movie however you want, but do not be disrespectful toward a character and in this case a culture.

@i-want-cheese Please don’t write this off as another “butthurt comment” or “male guilt”, because this is really messed up. I see how you’re brushing off some other people’s comments and I honestly hope that you don’t see mine the same way because this is an issue I think you need to face/realize. You are being racist and brushing it off isn’t going to change that. the 

[kekepuaa]

@visibilityofcolor THANK YOU FOR THIS. As a Polynesian woman, reading that post and other replies painting Maui and even Tui as aggressive and violent men had me feeling some type of way, especially since White people have always regarded Polynesian men in such a manner.

I’ve thought about replying because I’m tired of seeing these kind of “Moana is a feminist movie” posts collect hundreds of notes despite the fact that these posts always conveniently fail to mention Pasifika people, but it always stressed me out, so thank you.

As an aside, Maui taking Te Fiti’s heart and Moana restoring it was symbolic of environmental preservation. Because the people who inspired Moana–Pasifika people, not just Polynesian–are always affected first when the environment is threatened. Our way of life is greatly influenced by the ocean and we believe that if you take care of the ocean, she will take care of you.

[visibilityofcolor]

You’re very welcome.

This is insight for me as well (as I wasn’t aware that the movie also came fro the culture of the Pasifika people), and does give a very important perspective. I do agree with you, this movie is about environmental restoration, not some white fem bullshit.

I tried over and over again to explain to I-want-cheese about how she was being racist, but she responded by blocking me and other poc who called her out (even other polynesian people). People to this day are still trying to explain that she is being racist and culturally insensitive but she ignores us.

I’ve made a few posts about this, hoping that people realize how problematic it is to agree with i-want-cheese.  Explaining to her racist white ass that this was problematic was like explaining to a bird. She wouldn’t listen and neither would have of her racist friends.

Sorry you’ve had to see this on your dash every so often, but I’m glad my portion of the post is starting to get around. (reblogged to the wrong blog at first lols)

[nadine-usagichan]

dang reblogging this as a correction for the very first reblog. this why feminist analysis always needs to be intersectional

[xyinx]

My heart just cried

[brunhiddensmusings]

the portrayal of Maui is super important here, the disney crew put a LOT of effort into getting him right because he IS a crucial figure to an entire culture- basically a cross between a central religious figure and superman so handling him poorly would be catastrophically disrespectful there are basically only two parts of Mauis legend that they flub- they only tell half of the story of when he was abandoned as a baby, and they skip over that stealing the heart of Te-Fiti so he could give it to humanity was the legend in which he dies yes, canonically Maui dies in his quest to give gifts to humanity, its an important element of why Maui is such a profound character, not just ‘man who hurt someone’ strawman it gets worse when you discover the OTHER legend they fudged, the story of his birth, reinforces this. Mauis mother had several (Hawaiians only say three, new zealand says five) sons, all named Maui, so when she had ANOTHER son she named him Maui as well, but then cast him into the sea for there was no way she could support another son. the gods did not save Maui, as Moana says, instead they return him to his mother and say she must give him a chance. to which his mother states that for her to take care of him this infant must remove the roof from her house by throwing spears at it. that is the story of Maui the skillful, abandoned as an infant and then immediately told that he must PROVE his worth, after which all he ever does is prove his worth

his brothers mocked him for being a poor fisherman, he crafts a fishook from a jawbone and proceeds to raise new islands from the sea the sky is so low the trees bend, maui raises it for everyone, then fills the new sky with wind

the sun flies so quickly there is not enough time in the day to do the labors for everyone, maui has to lay traps for each of the suns many feet, chase after it as it was slowed, and then threaten to chop its legs off if it would not slow down

he then due to the complaints of the now longer dark night creates the moon and is upset his creation will not please humanity for it does not make sufficient light, then shows it to the sun so that it may learn how to be bright maui was credited with having invented as gifts for humanity the outrigger canoe, stone tools, and seaworthy boats that had no mast or sails. he was credited with inventing tattoos as a gift to dogs, however humanity is still not content so maui descends to the land of the dead to ask the secret of creating fire from the grandmother, who kept it hidden in her fingernails. he dropped the fingernail in the water as he tried to return to the land of the living, came back for another, dropped it as well, and went through all ten fingers and toenails untill he had to then interrogate birds the grandmother had shared the secret with to tell him how

a monstrous eel tried to put the moves on his wife, and again maui had to prove his worth to reclaim her by breaking the monster eel’s spine, shoving him into the ground to create the first coconut tree, the single most useful thing for polynesian life, as a gift to humanity yet again Maui, as a mythological figure, did nothing but give from the day he was born. he gave humans tools, land, fire, boats, light, the wind, everything except life itself and he even tried to give them that- and it killed him, he was bitten in two a crucial part of Maui as a legend is that he failed, its literally part of the point, also that he was driven to prove himself endlessly to the (during his life) ungrateful. do not try and drag Maui, its disrespectful on a level i cant express thank the man, you asshole Moana succeeded where he failed, for she saw that she did not have to prove herself. the whole movie up untill then she was trying to put on a brave face (there was literally a cut song ‘warrior face’ where maui teaches her Haka), shout her courage, announce to the world at large that she WILL do the thing and fix the world and be the hero, just like Maui

its easy to miss, she stopped trying to prove who she was to anyone, there was nobody she needed to prove herself TO she just WAS herself, and that brought her peace

[trans-axian-archive]

not to sound like a homophobic straight dude but I think yall should just let some characters be Friends not everything has to be about romance

[trans-axian-archive]

not only is it just like… boring to make every single close relationship romantic it’s also just sort of. weird and almost Sad that every act of affection has to have some romantic or sexual alterior motive? like yall don’t hug your friends? don’t tell them you love them? don’t stick your feet in their lap when you sit on a couch together or rest your head on their shoulder or put your arm around their neck while you walk next to each other? you don’t do random acts of kindness for them because you care about them? you don’t hold their hand? don’t say good night or good morning or text me when you get home safe?

I’m so tired of every single act of love and affection and care between two characters being taken as romantic like please I am Begging you let friends exist. this mindset seeps into the real actual world n has a negative affect in the real actual world n has yall shipping real life people because you don’t understand how friends work and think that two people liking each other and having fun together must mean they’re In Love

n I’ve talked about this before but romanticizing and sexualizing all expressions of love and affection also results in fictional sibling relationships being stripped of their intimacy. no one can portray siblings cuddling or kissing each other on the cheek or sleeping in the same bed because it will Automatically be perceived as romantic or sexual. this also has a negative affect on the real actual world, as proven by the dozens and dozens of people on my last post about this saying that seeing this being done to fictional siblings made them uncomfortable expressing affection and sharing intamacy w their siblings in Real Life which is honestly one of the most heart breaking things I’ve ever heard

this isn’t about me not liking a certain ship or not seeing the chemistry between two characters its about how its Genuinely concerning that yall cannot view affection and love and care and devotion in any way besides romantic or sexual. I could go on and on and on about how its narratively boring or ineffective or annoying in a purely technical and analytical sense from a writing point of view, but mostly I just want yall to know that its weird and unhealthy to think this way and that fanbases at large having the inability to interpret any show of connection and care between two characters as anything but romantic/sexual is legitimately concerning and harmful

shipping incest or pedophilia is not an “unpopular opinion” it is fucking disgusting and fundamentally wrong and anyone who disagrees with this post can just unfollow me right now
