coming outta left field and talking about something that has nothing to do with me bc i don't have anything better to do with my time right now.

that whole fandom discourse was whack and i'm sorry @lurkingshan and @waitmyturtles had to deal with that. there's def been plenty of posts i haven't liked or haven't agreed with in fandom and you shrimply just have to scroll! there's no need to make a response unless you're coming from a genuine place and can have a respectful discussion. if you're coming from an emotional place you just have to say "people like different things" and move on.

i personally am not mutuals with shan because we have a lot of different opinions about things - this is not a dig at shan, she doesn't follow me either prob for the same reason! i think she articulates her posts incredibly well and comes from a very genuine place. i don't know turtles that well bc i haven't been in the space much these days but based on what i've seen she seems much the same.

media analysis is and should be vast and varied, that's what makes it fun, and not everyone is going to share your opinion and people will always interpret things differently based on past experiences, differences in knowledge, etc. they aren't evil for that.

this is what i think is one of the most important things from shan's post -

You don't owe anyone your presence here, and you don't have to express opinions on everything or respond to tags or asks if you don't have anything to say. Sometimes you might just want to take a break from posting, some things in the discourse might just flow right on by you, sometimes you will not have a firm opinion on a debate. You can post as much or as little as you want. You can suddenly decide you don't want to talk about a show anymore. You can not log into your tumblr for days or weeks at a time. Do you, boo!

to add to this, and i know this won't be a very well received statement, if you're finding yourself having these big emotional responses just because someone didn't like your fav it may be time to take a step back and reevaluate your priorities in fandom. as someone that took a break from fandom and dramas in general i highly recommend taking a second and finding your peace again. humans are emotional by design, it's what makes us great, but if you're getting violently wound up about someone else's opinion of a fictional piece of media created for entertainment purposes i think it's time to take a deep breath.

fictional media is art and people can and should always have different opinions about art. yes, even art featuring your favs.

i left the fandom for a long time because Last Twilight deeply hurt my feelings as a disabled person with an incurable disease - but that's on me. i'm sure many people found the message an uplifting one of hope (as i believe it was intended to be.) my personal experiences caused me to have a different take on it - but again that is because of my personal experiences and does not make my opinion of it right or wrong, it simply is.

tldr: i think it's important to remember that there are no correct opinions in fandom; if there were they wouldn't be opinions but irrefutable facts. you need to get used to seeing opinions and reads that differ from your own and embrace the art of filtering unless you feel capable of having a calm and respectful discussion.

i wanted to share my thoughts as someone completely unassociated with shan and turtles from a place of complete neutrality. if you're going to have a discussion have a discussion, if you're just gonna rag on someone because they didn't mindlessly jerk off your fav keep it to your group chat or something, don't be a tar pit.

this being said, get used to seeing things even if you try to filter! it's not perfect, i've filtered out spare me your mercy bc i haven't seen it yet and want to form my own opinions but things have absolutely come across my radar (either in my own tags, clicking links, etc.) it happens, don't be weird about it.

i just received awful news about the house we're trying to buy re: the down payment we would need to stay at our current monthly rent. it's not even something kind of feasible for our situation. so i've just completely shut down and am having a "mild" freak out as a treat.

like i'd put up a gofundme or something but i know no one has any money to spare rn with everything going on and i feel so guilty any time i have to ask for help. it's bad enough my friend had to buy my plane tickets so i could see her.

i might just put a little goal meter on my streams going forward and if anyone wants to help i'll kiss them right on the mouth consensually

edit: for the record i'm not like boohoo buying a house is hard - if my family can't buy this house we're gonna be on the verge of fucking homeless. our landlady is giving us a very good deal on this house we've lived in for 15 years

she's moving to another country and wants to give us the first opportunity to buy it and a mortgage payment (if we can make a big enough down payment or pay into interest points) comes out to roughly the same cost as rent in an apartment so 🤷 (and we have 1 dog and 3 cats so renting would be nigh impossible anyway)

the problem is our debt to income is too high from having to pay for various emergencies in the past and we won't be able to put down very much for a down payment between now and july when our landlady would like to close.

so idk i'm stressed, my stomach hurts, we're gonna ask whatever family we can to help but if anyone has ever enjoyed my streams, art, gifs, or writing and feels like helping a bitch out

bad news about the house (we were supposed to sign final paperwork next monday) so i probably won't be online much for the next week or so idk. i have to figure out where i'm going to live.

I don't need to write a lil snippet about this scene, I don't, it's literally fine I can just leave it, I don't need to touch it--

do you guys remember when I wrote lil things for The Sign as it was releasing 🫠 I really have a craving to do that again

[bunnakit]

went to see if there was a more local no kings protest this weekend and it said "rsvp to see event details"

hey. there's no fucking universe in which i'm rsvping to a protest. what the fuck.

[bunnakit]

finishing my jack & joker watch thru soon and i really appreciate joker's ability to go from just the soggiest little kitten to the hottest guy in the fucking room in a split second. like. he gives me shrimp feelings. i wanna put him in my pocket but also want him to beat me up.

ok i'm going to try one more time on this but ~

ATEEZ LORE STREAM on SAT, MAY 10TH @ 19:00 UTC

this is the best i can do to try and accommodate as many timezones as possible without making myself too miserable lol

i suspect we're gonna get a CB announcement sometime in may? (or early june) so i figured it'd be a good time for it & a good refresher for some people that just want a lil reminder on what's going on

again THESE ARE JUST MY THOUGHTS, i don't look at other theories bc i don't like any outside influence

if ur rude or irritate me my mods are just gonna kick you into the sun so don't bother

and don't try to impose ur own theories on me, i believe everyone's theories are valid and we can all play in the sand box but it's also my opinion that absolutely no one is an authority on this stuff and we're all just sitting with our pepe silvia conspiracy boards.

it'll basically consist of me orally explaining the diaries, explaining how i believe the MVs tie in, and sharing a lil of my own theories re: the latest lore and where i think it could possibly go

and maybe my tinfoil hat halazia thoughts 👀
