The Debonair Dragon

Unfortunately, I am doing my best.

Every time people write huntrix completely cut ties with Celine and hating her without any second thoughts after the movie something in me dies.

So, you're telling me that Zoey wouldn't understand how it feels to be torn between opposite sides that demand different things from you and are making you choose while you just cannot choose because these things are equally parts of you and you cannot bring yourself to tear one of them away completely?

You're telling me Mira wouldn't understand how it feels when the whole world you knew is breaking around you and you have to choose a path you never considered you'd have to be on or to be forced on a role you have never meant to perform? That she wouldn't understand how much things you can fuck up like this?

You're telling me Rumi wouldn't understand what it's like to try and keep things under control when this control is slipping between your fingers and you're making every stupid decision possible to hold onto this control as long as you can?

You're telling me they will be able to understand fucking demons making deals for their own benefit when pressed to the edge but wouldn't understand a woman who did everything to protect people of the world making mistakes along the way?

[the-debonair-dragon]

I'm just saying as a gay person I'd fully understand why Rumi would cut ties with someone who doesn't love all of them I'm just saying I heard the words "I didn't know it was a child like you" and had to pause the fucking movie to cry about my grandparents not being able to live a queer grandchild and saying the same shit. M.just saying if Rumi said I never want to speak to her again not till she puts the work in maybe never. I'd understand and support her.

I'm saying

Your parent figure not being able to love you for who you are. And only Loving the image of you they created in their head. Eats at you a way that most people do not and should not ever know.

And Celine for sure had a Glorious future image of the perfect Rumi free of all the parts celine didn't like in Rumi that was kind of a big part of the story. Cover up this part of you I don't like. Be scared to show people they will hate you ...

I assure you as a person who lived that childhood

"cover up they won't understand" translated directly to"cover up I don't understand you"

"that part of you will go away soon." Is actually "If that part doesn't go away I will."

All this weird you should love her she raised you shit makes me sick to my core. And is why I can't stomach the huntrix fandom on Tumblr.

You know when someone goes "Oh, you're autistic? You should meet my buddy Ronathon he's autistic you'll love him he's great" and you meet him and he's the fucking worst

[teaboot]

And I should clarify the point Im making is not "I'm *special* and *different* and *better*" it's "Autism is not a defining personality trait"

[cuurrlin]

It’s like the same as “oh, you’re gay? You should meet my buddy ronathon he’s gay you’ll love him he’s great” or “oh, you’re Hispanic? You should meet my friend ronathon he’s Hispanic you’ll love him he’s great” or “oh you’re a woman? You should meet my friend ronatha she’s also a woman you’ll love her she’s great” and then they’re always totally different from you. Like, people like to go, oh I know two people with this same weird thing about them so that means they’re the same they should be friends, but that never works because your descriptors don’t define your personality and it’s super annoying that people do that.

[teaboot]

This is a good addition but I need to add that I am Delighted you continued to use fake name I pulled from my butt. Like ah shit it’s Ronathan

[businesstiramisu]

congrats to Ronatha on her transition, even if she's still the worst

[saintjustitude]

The same artist made these two 35 years apart:

1750s Henry Robert Morland (British artist, 1716-1797) A Girl Ironing Shirt Sleeves

1785 Henry Robert Morland (British artist, 1716-1797) Laundry Maid Ironing

WHICH IS SO COOL and also shows the change of fashion.

“why do trans men get surprised when they transition and their friends start treating them like a gross man” its bc our transition shouldn’t make our friends lose trust in us just because of how we look and identify. its not about the man part its about the gross part. if u treat ur transmasc friends as inherently gross or dangerous the second they start transitioning, it makes it seem like u weren’t really even our friends to begin with if u don’t know us well enough that u equate us as individuals to the stereotypical man youve built in ur head.

[solwit]

people will really ask things like "why do trans men dislike it when their friends turn on them and start treating them like crap on the basis of their identity?" as if it's some kind of mystery on here. like do people think transmasculine people don't have feelings lol

this may be an Unpopular Opinion (even on tumblr) but like the 8-hour workday is just Too Gotdamn Long

like even sitting in an office for eight hours a day isn’t particularly pleasant (or healthy, as we are beginning to see) but when we’re talking about doing *actual work* for that same amount time it gets pretty fucking brutal

doing literally *anything* (even leisure activities) for eight hours straight tends to be less than enjoyable but when we’re talking about things like construction, landscaping, factory work, and hell, even foodservice and retail, eight hours is a fucking ETERNITY

i might just be a lazy weak-willed bitch but honestly i think i’m not entirely wrong

[tyrannosaurus-rex]

this was being worked towards by leftist labor unions way back in the day after the time of FDRs new deal. people in the 40s and 50s were already starting to realize that we no longer actually needed an 8 hour work day or even a 5 day work week.

even with the comparatively primitive factory tech of the time we were already creating a huge amount of excess production back then and companies were making massive amounts of profit. So it already stood to reason that companies should either let their employees work less and thus each employee could work a shorter shift without lowering the yearly compensation of each employee, or in cases where businesses provide an active service they would shorten the shift but hire more people to cover the necessary operating time. but of course that would mean less money for people at the top so companies fought back hard and we ended up with nixon’s bullshit and so on and now its considered the norm for us to spend the vast majority of our lives doing work that really just amounts to waste. 

[dreamer-of-centipedes]

The IWW realised this and were fighting for it all the way back in the 1930s. This is a take with a lot of historical and theoretical grounding, OP, so you’re standing in good stead.

[aztechnology]

I’d also like to add it’s also been studied and scientifically proven that after 6 hours, we have an extremely noticeable drop in productivity. Sweden saw nothing but benefits from a 6-hour work day, including worker productivity, happiness, and half the amount of sick-leave used when applied to nurses.

[laughterkey]

Just gonna add that the IWW is still kicking and basically anyone who is not an employer can join.

Fun fact telling and explaining to people what will happen if they go to emergency asking for help for being a danger to themselves/others is not… bad. People should know what to expect, and make an informed choice based on available information instead of being lied to. It is not “scaring people away from help.”

You all love informed consent till it’s a crazy person.

[julesthefoolll]

i remember when i was 21 i took myself to the hospital because i needed somewhere safe to be for the night while my psychotic episode was passing. i explained what i was happening, that i was lucid, and that i just needed some help. i was immediately strip searched and had my phone taken away and almost had anxiety medication forcibly injected. i was then left alone in a brightly lit room with no clothes, was refused water, and was completely ignored when i asked to make a phone call. i was there for almost 7 hours before they gave me my phone back so i could call my parents to come pick me up. they then charged me $2000. people absolutely should know what can happen in the ER because it is not guaranteed by any means to be a helpful experience. i would’ve been better off asking to stay with a friend.

This

I was committed for two weeks because I had a mental breakdown and was forced to a hospital without my consent seamed "a harm to my self." That wasn't the issue I was going to be homeless and was distraught. So they locked me up for two weeks so I was For sure going to be homeless and couldn't find somewhere to live. Then I had to find where they sent my cat ... He was okay thankfully.

I was only let go because I got a lawyers phone number from someone else's visitor... And use their phone

I wasn't allowed phone calls

Wasn't allowed my meds

Was told I'd take their meds or nothing

I have lupus this set me back months on my symptom control

I hate the way everything is now. I hate the way it costs money to talk to people

I hate the way you can't touch grass.

I mean it that's not an insult it's reality, it sucks going out side isn't free. When ever someone tells me to touch grass or just upgrade my phone to fix the issue.

How where when?

The park has reservations

The libraries are closing

Skate parks cost money.

Everything is horrible and I hate it here

This amount of individualism is exactly whats gonna kill us all btw

"I think i would also try to kill that child, rather than go a few hours without eating nuts" - all these fucking losers.

[antarctic-arcanine]

If I ever share anything that was AI generated it is purely by accident. I hate that it's getting harder and harder to tell and it makes me want to never use the internet again. It definitely had its faults, but man I miss the internet of the 2000s so much.
