The Shadows Are Everywhere

Ritsuka (and possibly more of my OCs and more characters I've shown interest in than I consciously know of): My two main modes are 'Go away!' and 'Please be my friend.' You'll know which one you fit into when you Ask me stuff. DNIs are basically on my Pinned Post -where everyone can see- and expanding.

[shadowswithineverything]

I've said this before, but I feel a need to say it again, if perhaps differently (I think): Catradoras, WestAllens, etc. please. Please Unfollow/Block me. Otherwise atp I will just Block you, pure and simple. Anon is still off, so trying to rage against me there is useless (it's happened, and I got tired of it. End of story). Rage against me via my Ask Box through another Blog and I will MAKE IT useless by Blocking that Blog as well. Rage against me in this post's Notes? Blocked. Try to promote anything like Catradora, WestAllen, etc. to me? Blocked.

For those who genuinely want to know why, please look at your siblings (bio and step-siblings) and THEN ask yourselves whether, knowing where both relationships started from before becoming "romantic", Catradora and WestAllen would be remotely healthy dynamics. Ever. There's also plenty of abuse in both these relationships and others, of course.

Edit: If more people thought of these relationships as the toxic stuff they are and not "good" and "pure", I MIGHT be more open to talking about them. But as it stands, this is a dictatorship, baby, so none of that on my dash!!

Another Edit: And anyone, other Antis included, who shits on Neurodivergent people by, say, calling these proshippers "insane", or "psycho", or saying they or anyone who "can't just banter with you" has "such a loose grip on reality"? Or calling Iris a "loon"? BLOCKED!!!!! I said this was a dictatorship, but if we can't be classy enough to not be ableists, then what's the point?

Edit #3: Fellow Carmen Sandiego fans, if you're also Catradora stans, please look at this post so that you know why I've been on a Blocking spree against you the past few days (well, half the reason anyway; the other half is typically ableist posts).

Edit #4: I am equally against pairing up any manner of "Monster Hunter" and any Supernaturals, whom, it must not be forgotten, they routinely ERADICATE DOWN TO THE FUCKIN' CHILDREN!! Thought everyone should know that. And Destiel is basically at the top of that hate list.

Edit #5: All Cops Are Bastards. If you refuse to see it, or you don't care, I'm Blocking you on the spot.

Edit #6: If you say that other people's identities are infringing on your own or otherwise say that they're invalid, you're an Exclusionist and you will be Blocked accordingly.

Edit #7: Rapists and pedophiles and racists and the like will also be Blocked I shouldn't feel the need to say this but a lot of people like to put words in others' mouths soooo....

Edit #8: All manner of ableism will afford you my Scrutiny at best, but brain damage jokes as I know them happen to hurt me quite personally and make you that much more likely to be Blocked by me. Plus the newer the "joke" is, the more there are -and if there's no stuff I find that indicates you've changed from that- the more likely it is that I'll Block you.

Edit #9: If you say all villains are horrible abusive monsters, I will Block you.

Edit #10: I am not perfect; I'm just an unemployed Autistic, Epileptic, Myopic/Nearsighted, judgemental (working on it, but when I feel any of my DNIs have been violated I'm sincerely in no mood to talk with the apparent offender) and impulsive 25-year-old Bi/Pan Single and Unmarried -and not what I'd call self-sufficient- Agender Demiboy American with Puerto Rican and Cuban ancestry, a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, an Associate's in Computer Network Technology, possibly some shit other than Autism and Epilepsy that I haven't gotten tested for (someone back home fancies themself a doctor who knows me better than I know myself and keeps saying I have OCD and Depression, but as they also believe in the Functioning Labels and still call me an Aspie despite me having expressed my wishes for them not to before -amongst other things- I Don't Trust Them), a quick temper, and a set of boundaries. Try to insinuate that I think I'm flawless as some kind of gotcha and you are Blocked. And if you seriously think I've done or am doing something wrong, Tell Me.

Edit #11: If someone presents something like an lgbt+ Headcanon and gives no "evidence", that is still a Headcanon and the person presenting it does not deserve to be mocked for it. Anyone who pulls that "May be lgbt+ But Needs Evidence" bullshit will be Blocked immediately.

Edit #12: I am Pro Self-Diagnosis. Anyone who isn't can die by my sword, but unfortunately I have to settle for Blocking.

Edit #13: If you Self-Diagnose simply because of your own assholery or if you armchair-diagnose someone else, you are Blocked.

Edit #14: I may have Mao Mao shit on my Blog, but I can still relate to Mao Mao - and as I still say ACAB, I can candidly say that Mao Mao, Adorabat, and Badgerclops are better off as Sky Pirates or some shit LMAO!! Anyone who tries to use this former hyperfixation against me is getting Blocked. Same goes for MHA; All Cops Are Bastards, but they're still people and we tend to forget that or fail to find a balance between these two facts.

Edit #15: I appreciate fellow Autistics Reblogging stuff like my Anti Temple Grandin post, but for a bit more emphasis, Desti-Hellers, Drarries, BakuDekus, Catradora and the like stay the Hell away from my Blog.

Edit #16: When you use a certain term to identify yourself, bear in mind what said term represents to the community associated with it!! If you don't know why the term you've started using is so thoroughly rejected, find out!! And remember that while there's often a deep-seated reason for said rejection, whether or not you continue using the term in question is entirely up to you. Just make sure you know what people think of it and why.

Edit #16a: For example, Asperger's and the Functioning Labels. As has been pointed out numerous times, the Functioning Labels -amongst other things- imply that the Autism Spectrum is limited and that we're on some kind of hierarchy, with "Asperger's Syndrome" being basically "the highest functioning/best/most normal of all", and many times interpreted as "Oh, you're/I'm a supergenius", or "you/I don't need any help!" Plus Asperger's Syndrome was named after Hans Asperger, a Nazi who played with Autistic people's lives by using his "research" to decide who was "superior", and thus would live or die! And the Functioning Labels are used for much the same purpose; deciding who gets to live in society and who's gonna be thrown away, based on boxes that ableist jerks made and try to shove us into!!

Which leads to:

Edit #17: Don't imply that YOUR OR SOMEONE ELSE'S identity is somehow superior to another's!

Edit #18: Your friends are likely not my friends, and my friends are likely not your friends. Recommend your Mutuals to me if you wish, but if they violate any of my DNIs you should know damn well I'm Blocking them. Blockage will come to you if you refuse to respect this or if I consider you to have violated any other DNIs by extension.

Edit #19. Sexists of all stripes, Misandrists and Transmisandry deniers included, get off my Blog IMMEDIATELY!

Edit #20. Eat The Rich. Yes, there are exceptions to this like the Todorokis barring Endeavor, and I can still find even rich people I hate to be funny as hell, but if a rich person is an abusive jerk and/or in a position to really use all that money to help fix the world's problems and they're Not Doing That, they fall under this purview! This includes Enji Todoroki/Endeavor, Tony Stark/Iron Man, Bruce Wayne/Batman, and Byakuya Kuchiki sorry-not-sorry!

Edit #21. If you believe in Reverse Racism, or promote any kind of Speciecism, get out of this space now!!

Edit #22. If you ask me a super-invasive and inappropriate question and there isn't A) Even a WORD of explanation and B) AN APOLOGY, I will Block you. Yes, both are necessary; "sorry" doesn't explain anything so to me the apology loses meaning because living up to an apology takes COMMITMENT, and an explanation by itself with no apology ain't shit if you refuse to see where you went wrong or at least that you WERE wrong! And ftr it counts as an explanation to me even if you say you can't or even just won't explain, but I need you to say it, and I still need an apology along with and directly after the explanation!!

Edit 23. If you are genuinely uncomfortable interacting with me for any reason, tell me -or just Block me, that's fine too, really- and we can simply Not Interact. No muss, no fuss, no anger or hate or any other kind of vitriol, we simply part ways.

Edit 24. Yandere blogs are another eternal enemy. And by my understanding the Tsundere term is essentially Super-Aggressive Rejection, so that's got my hate too. Essentially Yandere and Tsundere Blogs are getting Blocked too (essentially, the ones who treat these character types as in the right or as jokes or are ableist about them).

Edit 25. No Virgin/Chad Memes. Just. Just stop. As a virgin myself, I am VERY liable to Block you if you dare to do this, do you understand me?!!

Edit 26. If you say in any way whatsoever that DNIs are overcomplicated or garbage or overcomplicated garbage I'm Blocking you instantly. Because all that means is that you refuse to see what their intended purpose is (establishing boundaries) and you refuse to fully respect it.

Edit 27. BULLYING IS ABUSE!! If you talk about EITHER of them lightly or think the two terms are separate for ANY reason/in ANY way, I WILL BLOCK YOU ON THE SPOT!!

[tomuraas]

can we talk abt how the akatsuki is basically a bunch of college kids run by some slightly older adults and one (1) grandpa and their house plant

[shadowswithineverything]

And the house plant is the mastermind.

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

NEGLECT IS ABUSE. FULL STOP.

Please for the love of GOD neglect is abuse.

Got shown the most rancid-ass fucking take about abusive parents and neglect this morning. Fucksake. Like no, it's not "funny" to think that a character who turned out extremely neurotic and fucked up was """just""" neglected by their sad, pathetic parents. That's HORRIFIC. To be neglected to such a degree that it turns you into a fucked up perfection-obsessed asshole.

It's not """""funny""""" to go haha, these parents are just lost in their own worlds and now their kid is Like That and they're like why??? That's not fucking funny in the slightest. Can you imagine? Being brushed aside by your primary caregivers, your pinnacle role models in life, to such a degree that you'll do ANYTHING for their (and beyond that, anyone else's) attention? Permanently locked the fuck in over a mental and emotional battle of wits, trying to find a win condition that just isn't fucking there because your opponent isn't even fucking PLAYING?

Yeah that's SO fucking FUNNY bro, that's so FUNNY! Look at this loser vying for perfection because he's internalized the idea that it's the one redeeming quality he has because he was never once given the time of day in his life! How could he have turned out like that? It's not like he was ABUSED or anything-!

FUCKING HELL BRO SHUT UP

Neglect is abuse and it will fuck you up so so so fucking badly. Just look at me. Look at the fucking blog I'm posting this on! Christ.

[this-is-physi-sensory-ableism]

People really don't think about how isolating it is to have a sexual, urogenital, reproductive, or gastrointestinal disability.

If you have sexual dysfunction, its considered a taboo, a hush-hush condition, something to never be spoken of. A failure, a humiliation.

All of the "can't get them wet", "can't get them to orgasm," "can't get it up in bed", "only lasts two minutes in bed" jokes, dismissing the real people with sexual dysfunction, the real people struggling. How do you think they feel, hearing these "jokes"?

If you have fertility complications, it's considered something to be pitied for, a "failure of a man", "failure of a woman", "failure of a person", a "waste of your genetic line."

If you have complications with urination or defecation, it's considered gross or belittling. Nobody wants to hear about it, nobody wants to acknowledge it, and God forbid you have an accident in public - then everyone's eyes are on you, judging or pitying.

And menstrual & perinatal disabilities just aren't taken seriously. If you have debilitating menstrual cycles, for example, its brushed off as "typical" or "an exaggeration."

Same voice actor outfit swap - Azula and Frankie Foster

First of all, how dare you- (affectionate)

This gave me the idea of Frankie as an older sister or maybe cousin to Zuko and Azula- (gets shot)

Hot take: Caitvi would have been more interesting and less 'what the fuck are you doing' if it was Caitlyn radicalized to the revolution instead of Vi radicalized to the oppressive class

[shadowswithineverything]

And the "what the fuck are you doing" stuff could've been made very, VERY intentional! As in if you're going to write an unhealthy, unequal, abusive relationship, acknowledge it for what it is and show that knowledge to the audience!!

[herbvrntletters]

May i ask why youre against caitvi?

/ gen/ pos

I don't know what pos means, but to be real with you, I'm mainly against caitvi because of my personal morals.

Any hateful shit trying to counter my words in my inbox from this will be blocked. My opinion has remained unchanged since Arcane first came out.

In my country, we've had a dictator before, and it was the student body that protested to have her step down from power. So the entire oppressor x oppressed thing pisses me off, and it seems like the entire war was for nothing because Zaun barely got anything out of it. It's too personal to me.

Aside from caitvi genuinely just being so fucking toxic to me, I feel like Arcane flipped Vi's character so badly, making her out to be this lovesick puppy. The terribly placed sex scene in Arcane also pmo.

Not to mention, I'm politically from a very rich background, and that being said I genuinely just hate a lotta shit Caitlyn did especially having similar shit as me.

Edit: adding to my statement, this is also a big reason I hate caitvi

The good plot twists aren't the ones that are wild left turns out of nowhere, they're the ones that make all the other little things that didn't quite add up before suddenly click

[shadowswithineverything]

LITERALLY THIS!!! SOLID AGREE!!

[chamber-of-voices]

Random Hot Take

Honestly, I feel like one of the easiest ways to stop infighting and to help true equality exist is for everyone to realize that being a part of a minority doesn't make you immune from bigotry. Being disabled doesn't make you immune from bigotry. Being queer doesn't make you immune from bigotry. Being BIPOC doesn't make you immune from bigotry.

Hell, even being part of a minority group doesn't make you free from being bigoted to your own minority group. Whether it's internalized, projection, or some other form, you should try to be conscious when you are actively bringing down the minority you're a part of.

I don't know how to end this, so

Peace Love and Unity to all. Shall we all one day be free.

Contextless Yugioh Post (y'all can start putting on context for me, I'm too tired rn): Both Yugi-boys' relationships with all three Kaiba Brothers (Noah included, yes), and the sheer potential for their respective families' shadows to cover all that even MORE, need to be studied-

[raventhecrispy-offical]

GUYS I HAVE A REALLY GOOD IDEA

Reblog this post to make the person you reblogged the post from gayer

[princvsx]

get to know the blogger

anonymously (or not) ask me any question you’d like to know about me

[shadowswithineverything]

I think I turned anon off, so this'll have to be "or not" for me.

[kasatenfes-deactivated20260214]

someone on here will be having the worst day of their lives and come back 5 minutes later saying “i like gilled cheese 🤤🤤”

[shadowswithineverything]

MEEEEE!!

Anyone else relate?

[asnexxo]

[shadowswithineverything]

Me: NEVER!!

Also Me: Try writing, and ranting about your writing-

Also Me: Back to food.
