But when I was reading the character's profile earlier, I suddenly remembered it's elaborated extremely clearly that she never had any friends growing up and that's one of the reasons why she's so messed up in canon. Which means if she's childhood friends with the main character of my fic, it would contradict her already-canon backstory. If she had even one friend back then, she likely wouldn't be the mess she is in canon. And she's an extremely popular character in the series, so it's likely something that's not going to be ignored.
What should I do? Keep the plot as it is, darn the canon? Or change the main character's childhood friend into someone else that has a past that gels better, or just not give her any childhood friend at all?
I just thought it would be a cute idea....


Mom: "What does she look like?"
Me: *describes her to Mom*
Mom: :D
Me: "Mom?"
Mom: "Remember when I said there would be a character in that anime you would really love?"
Me: "...."
Me: "...."
Me: "OH GOD NO WHY"

I'm also mad because I spent two and a half hours helping him sign up for classes because he didn't want to do it himself.

And of course I still don't feel very good but I'm not going to do something like that again. I'm just going to try to fight off whatever the heck this is another way.

On this date in 2016: seven tornadoes impact north central Indiana during the afternoon and early evening, including an EF3 that tracks across the south side of Kokomo and injures 20. 5 of the 7 tornadoes track across portions of Howard County.
(My thoughts) It's considered to be one of the worst tornado outbreaks in this state (?) and was extremely notable because of how late in the season it occurred; we don't usually have tornadoes or much severe weather around this time of year. There was also very little warning for these storms, the weather forecast never said there was any chance for severe weather at all. I remember even when tornado sirens were going off in my town, the sky was a perfect blue colour with not a single cloud in sight.




Basically in this fandom I strongly dislike the most popular ships because almost all of them are murdererxmurder victim and....yeah, I don't think I have to tell you why that's bad. Not only are they pretty overrated anyway, but this person had the audacity to put one of the three that I absolutely despise, that I hate with every fiber of my being, that I actually feel kind of sick when I look at as their third underrated ship.
I hate those three murderxmurder victim ships, and the one from the second game in particular, because unlike some of the other ships, they specifically seeked to eliminate people they disliked. They saw their chance to get rid of them and did so. Now, that wouldn't be that bad except for the fact that in the second game, the girl kills her BULLIES. Two characters who harassed her, abused her, pushed her around, did every single type of bullying method in the book. And in the first game she manipulates and kills this guy who was in love with her whom she abused and treated as being lower than dirt.
Mom knows I hate those ships and after I finished my whole spiel, she went off on one of her own about how my OTP could be considered really abusive because she also treats the guy like he's lower than dirt and I tried to defend my ship but Mom had a counter-defense, so I eventually just gave up.
She then continued on by saying that it shouldn't matter what people do or what they ship because it's fictional. She said I'm not bothered by the murdererxmurder victim ship in the first game because it's abusive, I'm just bothered by it because it's not a ship I like. She said fiction is good and healthy because it helps people get out certain feelings and experience things that normally they'd never be able to do in real life because they could hurt themselves or others. I tried to explain that I don't like things like the second murderxmurder victim ship because she's literally being shipped with her bullies and since what happens to her is so similar to what I went through, it literally makes me physically ill to see people who ship that and try to make it really cute and sweet, to which Mom responded with: "You were in an abusive relationship? So what. You were bullied? So was your baby brother, so was I, so was my best friend. So what? What's your point?"
She said that she said all of this to not make me feel bad, but to actually make me feel better about my ships and to understand that other people like different things than me and that I shouldn't get to uppity about fiction. She said just because I was bullied and abused in real life doesn't mean I have to cut myself off from it in the fictional world because it's just fiction. She also said that the first step to acceptance is just admitting I'm a hypocrite, letting people ship what they want and leaving it at that. People see things that I don't in those ships and that's all there is to it.
But what she said just made me feel even more invalid and made me want to never ship anything in that fandom ever again because I'd rather not out myself as a hypocrite. Not to mention, I literally never even saw my own OTP as being abusive until Mom pointed it out to me. I knew she was mean to him, yeah, but I also felt like there were signs in the game that she secretly liked or at least found him fascinating, and I never saw any major problem with it unlike the one guy she killed. And I ship a murdererxmurder victim ship!! Simply because he asks her to kill him so I didn't think it counted as being bad!!
But even in spite of all of that, I literally cannot handle those other ships, ESPECIALLY the girl in the second game who gets shipped with her bullies. It literally makes me sick to my freaking stomach and every time I see fanart of one of them together, I literally almost vomit because it reminds me of my own bullies and how disgusted I would be if I found out people shipped me with the very same kids who nearly drove me to literal suicide. And I fail to see how anybody can look at their relationship in the game as something healthy or cute when they made her life such a living hell that she eventually decides that her only option is to kill them.
I don't know....I don't really want to stop shipping my ships, but at the same time, I don't want to be considered a hypocrite for shipping something abusive when I call out other people for doing the same exact thing. But like I said, I never, ever felt the amount of nausea and uncomfortableness with my OTP as I do some of the other ships that I vehemently dislike.
I tried to prevent myself from shipping anything in the fandom, but it's really hard to because I do genuinely love my OTP and I also like my murdererxmurder victim ship....
What do you guys think? Was my mom right and I should just face the music, or am I right in my decision to be triggered by certain things?


Baby Brother: "Ooooooh, what kind of game is it?! I bet it's some kind of really girly dating simulator where the characters ask 'do you want to have sex with me?' and you answer 'yes'!"
Me: "Yes, it is." *dead-serious tone*
Baby Brother: "...."
Baby Brother: *leaves the room*


It was pretty ugly yet also really funny because of how pretentious and freaking deluded they were.

People like then will blame anything on us



Preeety think skinned





I suggested she could draw some and maybe start the trend but she became really defensive and dropped the subject lol


Only patients ever wore them, and they were mainly made just for nobility or rich people. They were made so people wouldn't look at your face while you were sick and become horrified, which I will admit is a good idea because people sick with cholera do look really creepy.
Even the simplest design covered up the eyes, which were considered to be the 'worst' part of a cholera patient.
