This might seem kinda random but I just want to remind you guys that my readers are always gender neutral. I've kinda gotten the impression that people think my readers are either strictly female or strictly male and I just wanted to remind people that that's not the case. I don't really care how you address Reader in my asks, since I know a lot of you guys are imagining either yourself or an OC when reading my stuff, but its just something I wanted to remind you guys so that my blog remains safe and welcoming to all people.
There's a chance this could be my fault, I've might of referred to my readers in a gendered way at some point and I apologize if that's the case, but I just wanted to clear things up if there was any confusion.
I would like to issue a reminder that one person's opinion on the state of a piece of media's plot and general canon (what works and what does not work) is still not a direct indication of how they relate to the world OUTSIDE that canon. Just because you and a person disagree on a ship, or a plot point, does not mean either of you should be judged by those choices.
You're going to be judged by whether or not either of you are assholes about it. There are more important things going on in the world than whether or not you agree on a show's choice of canon, and pushing intolerance and vitriol only makes it soooooooo much worse for everyone else. If you want to provide the best argument for why your views should be considered, you need to make those views accessible to people on their own terms, not by force.
In light of a notification I got from someone using a side or secondary account to get around the fact I blocked their main account in order to interact with my work, I'm going to take the opportunity to comment on this and say that is a SUPER weird thing to do.
There could be some chance that this individual is unaware they have been blocked and are now no longer able to follow me, as this was a reblog of an old reblog. But assuming for the moment they did so because they ARE aware, I've gone ahead and blocked the secondary. Frankly speaking they interacted with me and my work so little to begin with that it hardly makes much of a difference.
I just find I would feel more comfortable to establish some firmer boundaries, presently.
I owe no explanation to this individual, or anyone else, for why I chose to block them the first time. Nor should I need to feel bad for doing so. (Nor do I for blocking the secondary, or any other child account that may come up!) My reasonings are purely my own when it comes to why I have decided to deny this person who was once following me further access to me, to my account(s), and to my work.
I also do not have any issues, problems or complaints with those who may be friends with the person in question, whether it be currently or in the future. Forcing my personal reasons for cutting off this person's access to me upon another would not only be immature, but an incredibly shitty thing to do. I am deeply, deeply ashamed of how I used to police other people's friendships in the past... (Being a minor at the time in no way makes what I did excusable, or "okay".) While they may have said, done, or supported something I cannot forgive or condone, I will not be approaching anyone to make petty ultimatums over a situation that does not involve credible evidence for some kind of very, very serious (cyber)crime.
A bit of fandom bullshit is truly NOT worth that kind of nonsense.
It is my understanding that there is a chance of this person both not only seeing this post, but of making "vague posts" where they might likely write about how ""someone online"" is being ableist and/or deliberately exclusionary to them for ""some reason"", or by reblogging ND-related content with guilt-trippy titles like "Covert Ways Neurodivergent People Might Get Bullied".
And I can't stop them from doing the latter. I can only control what I do. I know how those neuro-divergencies tend to work when I happen to share a majority of them with this particular person. And I know that they are plenty "old enough" to understand what they're doing when they are very close to the age of my fucking parents in spite of those diagnoses at close to twenty or thirty years my senior!
Whatever the case may be for interacting with me from a secondary account, I simply want this person to leave me alone from this point going forward so I don't have to waste the limited energy I have on anything other than worrying about myself and responsibilities I have as as grown adult outside of the place I come to share and foster my enjoyment of various entertainment media with other, lovely people.
Heyy fellow Timebomb shippers and Arcane fans, how we feeling? :')
I saw maaany posts on here where people describe their mental state as not good and say they are too hyperfixated on this damn episode 7 or have trouble getting over the show as a whole and it really gets to them.
REMEMBER it is in fact just a show and if you feel depressed or if it makes you miserable beyond wasting a few thoughts on it on a daily basis, then remember to take a break and take a little step back from the show, maybe for a few days or even trying to keep away from socials and spending an evening or two dedicated to another hobby <3 just for a little
It can also be very beneficial, if you are not sure what to say or think about the last 2 acts yet (I know I am still overwhelmed by everything that happened god, so little time) to form a solid opinion when the time is right.
The Jinx and Ekko timebomb defused scene and ep 8 and 9 in general are depicting a su!cide and a very mentally ill and consumed in her thoughts Jinx, even if Ekko pulls her through in the end. It is definitely worth a content warning or tw and if these depictions make you uncomfortable or worsen your own mental state, then you gotta take a step back and avoid these scenes for a little while at least.
Just wanted to say that :) This series and its ending definitely have also consumed and influenced me the past 5 days I could cry when I hear the songs all the time and there are A LOT of opinions and loud people who make their criticism clear (ofc that is not a bad thing at all) and that can get overwhelming reeeally fast, especially when your heart got broken by the doomed straights, a ship you didn't even think about going into season 2 :'')
So treat yourselves a little and take care everyone! I know I'm gonna cook something fucking delicious after posting this.
Was not going to say this until I realized I was the only one that remembered out of All Of My Siblings!!!! (There are 10 of us. I'm baby by a whole lot. Long story.) This past Sunday was Grandparents Day in the USA! Call your grandparents if you haven't yet.
also no one with a shred of intelligence is giving up every bit of important information about themself on the internet, you're not owed someone's secrets in order to prove they're worthy of respect
something random that happened to me yesterday… while I was saving a drawing file I turned it into png and in my desperation I saved it in a file that said Narilamb and I almost died, my kisses Narilamb!
Luckily it was an empty file but the shock remained.
Keep copies of your files, that's what I learned (ono)
have a good day!
