i don't get why so many wrestling fans feel the inherent need to Protect a move or wrestler from any form of comedy at all.
i was talking with my dad, and he brought up never wanting to see mr iguana in a spot like a royal rumble spot. and his reasoning was because he "discredited the chokeslam" from damian priest. which i genuinely thought was so bizarre, because, i don't see it that way at all.
damian is such an established character, big scary punishing and fatal, mr iguana is an established character, silly funny smug but can be frightened, and...... it makes me sad that people's immersion is so quickly killed because "he froze like an iguana, now you spend the match wondering how anybody suffers to that move, when that guy just freezes and fake-twitches".
it's just like, the move is established, the guy is established, if mr iguana did it to a NEW guy TRYING to be established, id get the argument much more, but that's not what's happening.
idk. then again he says he doesnt like most indie wrestling and cant "handle" (his words, not mine) a lot of "luchador flippy floppy stuff" and grew up with the 90s and 00s wrestling style. it just. disappoints me. because people act like YOU'RE the fake wrestling fan, YOU'RE the one that doesn't get the sport, and YOU'RE the one that's wrong and not immersed enough to get why this sucks. when in reality, my immersion doesn't break from a gag. my immersion doesn't break even if a move does get maliciously no-sold (like gunther's chop to goldberg). because i believe in the characters and the story being told. and because i can have a little humour too.
is it really me having troubles immersing when you're the one completely losing belief in a character because he did a move and the COMEDY character made COMEDY out of it. - algae
my dumbass coworker is being so fucking rude to me this week for leaving a lot of edits on her work. like one, i am her editor. this is my job. two, she’s consistently wrong, has bad ideas, and i was assigned to edit her work because other people at the company think it’s bad. i seriously cannot deal with the stress she’s giving me but i also cant tell her my boss and i have discussed letting her go and me taking over her job 😭 corporate girl life or whatever
God damn, no wonder everyone is so angry on twitter all of the time.
I feel like that site sets you up to see things that make you upset against your will.
I have two twitter accounts; a normal one (I barely use anymore) and a fandom only one. If I log on, I’ll see this sidebar to the right, which will share dumb unwanted shit with me without my wanting it to.
If you ever think to yourself “what the fuck” and click on something over there, you’re guaranteed to get the most batshit insane takes you’ve ever seen in your life.
Meanwhile I’m constantly having to mute + block users on there-- not because they’ve done anything wrong to me, but because it’s supposed to be a fandom-only account, but twitter really wants me to know that some fucknugget has done some fucked up thing and it’s like. m’am. This is a Magia Record account, not a fucked up news account. If I want to learn about horrible shit, I’ll go to a site specifically for it.
Fuck man.
Also, I HATE that people can see what you’ve liked, who you’ve followed, and it even interjects what a person who you follow’s has liked-- or content that hasn’t been liked or retweeted and is just from a person who follows another person
Granted, that hasn’t happened so much anymore since I’ve changed the way the tweets work (so that it’s most recent instead of “top tweets”) but like.
Okay.
There are a number of people I don’t follow on twitter because they might post, or might like, or might follow someone who posts nsfw content, and I don’t want that then being posted onto someone who follow’s me timeline. You get what I’m saying?
I feel like you can’t curate perfectly what content you view, but more importantly, you can’t curate the content that people who follow you view from you. Like goddamn, I promise I’m not a horny freak, I just like what this one person has to say about game lore.
Like knock on wood but I’m so glad that I don’t need to worry about people seeing my likes or who I follow on tumblr. You can turn that shit off here. Maybe you can do that too on twitter and I’m just too stupid to know how. I don’t know.
But if twitter was my main social media, I’d feel angry all the time too, and I’d also feel like I need to constantly shout from the rooftops performative shit. It feels like too much of you is on display.
I think one of the worst things about being an introvert is that I always get mistaken for having something else. Like, my parents and sister thought I was anti-social but that doesn't make sense cause I like talking to people and hanging out with people. In elementary school, middle school and high school I was an introvert, but in college, there are some people who are really surprised that I’m an introvert. Like....I wasn’t trying to hide it, I just tend to act a little differently depending on the time and place.
I just wish people would take the time and effort to actually understand what it means to be an introvert and researching about it instead of assuming things and thinking you know stuff
