~Look Down, You're Talking to Your Highness~[R]
Character: "Not you too! I'll tell you the same exact thing I told Mom and Dad. I do not want to give up this life of mine just to be married to some gross old man! Never, never, never!! Go tell them that!" Commenters: "They're making him get married to a guy, so is he gay?"
"No, he feels like a guy so he wants to marry a girl,"
????? Do people just forget lesbians exist or something????
Can someone please tell my mom that just because I think The Snow Queen is very well-written and beautiful and amazing doesn't make it my favourite fairy-tale lol It's one of my favourites but not my absolute favourite. My favourite fairy-tale is actually The Princess and the Pea. I can tell why Mom keeps forgetting it, but come on lol
My baby brother's best friend is taking him to see Avengers Endgame for his fifteenth birthday lol
Ewww I sneezed and it tasted like Doritos
Tasted??
Well looks like Mom and I had an argument again. But I'm so bored and hungry I feel like I’m going to die from boredom that I just wanna go out anyway. But I had a legit reason for not wanting to go which is what started the argument in the first place
Yeah tasted. Your sneezes don’t have taste? I think it’s from the mucus or something. Or it could’ve just been because I had just swallowed some Doritos when I sneezed
Nobody is mad at you for saying you don’t consume a certain piece of media, they’re mad at you because you feel the need to go onto boards and forums dedicated for fans of that media and brag about how you've never consumed it and never will. If you truly didn’t want to, you just wouldn’t and that would be the end of it. Literally nobody asked you to flex on their forum. It makes you seem petty and superficial. Lessons that a lot of those media teach you not to be, but you’ll never know I see this sort of thing even on GoodReads and nothing makes me block a person faster than all that self-elitism of ‘oh I would NEVER read a YA/romance/classical book’ Good for you, your order of attention has arrived, now go eat it and kindly f**k off
Yeah, that gets annoying.Like...do you want a cookie or something?
They just want to be relevant because their normal lives have no relevance otherwise
Mom: “Just look it up!”Baby Brother: “No, because I want to be a real man and finish this the proper way!”
Mom: “But you have only one point of health left!”
Baby Brother: “A minor set-back!”
He was playing Dark Souls lol
Please don’t tell me that you are going to be one of those people who is extremely rude when they see someone with a different opinion. Look, we both love Chihiro being straight to bits, but if you’re going to be all moody towards people who see him as anything else, I don’t think this partnership is going to work out. Especially since I do like Chihiro with a few guys; I actually headcanon him as being a closeted pansexual who never really had an opportunity to experiment much. However I still believe he leans more towards being attracted to girls since it’s stated several times in canon that he is. I have no problems with Chihiro being in a relationship with a guy, I just can’t stand MondoxChihiro as a ship. But if you’re going to get moody towards someone who portrays Chihiro as even a bisexual or pansexual, then we’re going to be having some serious issues
One of our neighbors called an ambulance and paramedics showed up to put someone on a stretcher, and then the ambulance didn't leave for a while and when it did, it didn't have its sirens on. I hope everything's alright I'm concerned because they're like the only one of our neighbors who are actually nice to us lol
I threw up yesterday afternoon. Unlike other times when I've thrown up though, I have a very good idea of what made me throw up; I ate something bad Also does the possibility of vomiting through your nose increase with age? Like when I was younger I never threw up through my nose but the last few times I have. Or does it just have more to do with the force or quantity of the vomit?
A long time ago I took this DnD character quiz that tells you your alignment, race, and class in the DnD universe. The last time I took it I was a Chaotic Neutral Elf Bard but since that was a long time ago I wanted to retake it to see if anything's changed. I'm apparently now a Chaotic Evil Human Sorceress
I'm...not sure how I feel about this new development lol I've never seen myself as being Chaotic Evil. People probably think I am because of how much I like to mess people's stuff up, but I've always seen myself as more of a Chaotic Neutral since I don't really like to harm anyone innocent on purpose. But maybe I truly am just Chaotic Evil and I only think of myself as being Chaotic Neutral lol
Maybe I just flip-flop between the alignments. But no matter what changes, I'm always on the chaotic end of things because I find it fun to cause mayhem and chaos everywhere I go lol
It literally feels like Saturday to me but obviously it’s not because my brothers went to school today but all I can think about are the plans we have Saturday and keep wondering why we haven’t done them yet. And yesterday felt so strongly like Friday to me. It feels weird even just admitting it like this. My sleeping schedule is perfectly normal so it’s not like I slept through a day or something
My baby brother really be out here trying to tell me George Washington wasn’t the first president of the United States
Mom took my baby brother out to eat somewhere for his birthday. What did she do for my birthday? Oh yeah, lectured me for about thirty/forty-five minutes about how I can’t expect the world to make me happy and give me what I want and how I need to make my own happiness and how there are people in the world who have literally everything they could ever want and still want to kill themselves so I should be happy I’m not suicidal and be glad for what I have
And she tries to claim she treats the three of us equally 🙄
Nobody: My Mom: “You couldn’t pay me to watch Ensemble Stars, like that anime right there looks like the epitome of everything I dislike,”
“It’s actually pretty abnormal if you have a fanfic on AO3 that barely gets kudos but tons and tons of views. It usually means there are a lot of bots being counted,”Nah that’s usually par for the course when it comes to my fanfics. Literally hundreds of thousands of hits but barely any favourites/kudos or comments
“It’s a well-known fact there aren’t any computers in Japan!” -Mom
So evidently my mom has been taking a lot of art advice from online artists and it really seems to be helping her with her confidence and getting her more popular so for some reason I tried to do the same except with fanfics except so far literally everything I’ve been reading tells me the same exact things and they’re all things I already know and many of them I’ve done myself or put into practice So once again I feel utterly at a loss
Ugggggh why is literally every single new Otomate game and re-release coming out this year going to be for the Nintendo Switch??? I would rip out my spine for a PS4 release Like I can understand the re-releases being on Switch because they want to expand their horizons, but why oh why are you releasing new content on purely the Switch? No PS4? Not even PS Vita? I’d even take mobile at this point come on
Okay so Variable Barricade is going to be on PS Vita but everything else is still Switch
"Isn't it obvious that it's switched? The people working on Game of Thrones now played Code;Realize and thought that the plot with Finis and Cardia was really good so they decided to emulate it in the show with Cersei and Jaime!" -Mom
Tom Holland: "This is the new Spiderman trailer, however it has some pretty major spoilers for Avengers: Endgame, so if you haven't seen that movie yet, don't watch this trailer. But if you have seen it, then enjoy the trailer!" Me, having never seen Avengers: Endgame and having absolutely no desire to: "Oh thank goodness he warned me about the spoilers so I know not to watch this now,"
There was a book published about Maria Feodorovna last year and I'm only just now hearing about it???!?!?! Usually I'm one of the first to hear about things like this!!! I'm definitely going to have to look into this over the summer. I've been craving some good content on the Romanovs for a while now and I'm hoping this delivers that to me
Oh no this girl found our old RP on Google Docs and is thinking about continuing it uggggggh I didn’t like that RP at all!! I don’t want to continue it!
The previous Emperor of Japan gave up his throne to his brother and now a new era has started in Japan; Reiwa Era. The first era to be named using classical Japanese texts instead of classical Chinese texts. The name roughly translates to ‘peaceful blowing plum blossoms on the wind’
My mom sent me this on FaceBook last night and I'm still laughing about it: Nobody:
McVries: You want me to jerk you off, Garrety?
I hate how I have an huge urge to continue working on a fanfic I literally have no ideas for. Like I literally have no idea where I want to go with it
Lol my mom just told me that she ships Zuko and Katara
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

So random...sorry...but this is MOOD!

She told me she ships it because even though she knows Aang and Katara are supposed to go together, it disturbs her that Katara is sexually attracted to him when he looks so young. She’d like it better if he looked older like Katara does. So she ships her with Zuko since he looks like a teenager and it’s easy for her to see why someone would be attracted to him

So already there's going to be a scene in this fanfic where the main character accidentally catches the love interest skinny-dipping We're going straight for the Royal AU classic tropes this time around
I found a thing where several artists portrayed famous dictators as anime girls and I already know I'm going to Hell for enjoying it lol But they did a good job!!! Each picture had so many small details about that dictator's life that you wouldn't catch if you didn't know anything about them. I looked up a good number of them though since aside from the really famous ones I only recognized Alexander Lukashenko and Saparmurat Niyazov. And out of all the dictators they did, two are currently still in power; Alexander Lukashenko and Bashar al-Assad
As I said before though, the artists did a great job of capturing each nuance of the dictator's life. After looking up the ones I didn't recognize I really appreciated all of the finer details in the pictures
I'm not saying I endorse dictators or anything okay
The same artists also collaborated together to do the same thing again except with famous WW2 commanders and
Yuuuuuuup
I'm so sad, I was playing with a Steampunk dress-up game and I made an extremely good Cardia from Code;Realize but the game wouldn't let me save my creation because it was buggy so now I can't show anyone else T.T
Ugh I hate allergies so much
Lol I fall asleep for a while because I couldn't deal with my allergies anymore and still nobody came on
I joined so many RPs on RPNation I'm going to die
I got another comment on an older fanfic of mine and much like the last one I got, this one isn’t too favorable towards what I wanted to do. Basically they talked about how the tone of the fanfic was quite condenscending and stereotypical and too one-note and focused on purely making Russia seem like the antagonist. In reality a lot of people in those nations praised Soviet rule and even now wish to go back to those days and how many don’t even care about Russia anymore. And how many of those nations wouldn’t even exist today because Soviet rule helped them discover their cultural identities and focused on and emphasized their shared history and customs.
They also mentioned that the fanfic I originally took inspiration from had been deleted because the author realized it’s unfair to put such blame on a fictional character when the whole point of the show in question is to mock stereotypes and have a good time. The characters aren’t taken seriously and neither are their histories and thus the fandom should act like that instead of trying to do things like that. And to not portray such ancient countries as being childish and angry and holding a grudge over something that is inevitably just a small dip in their long histories.
Honestly, I’m not even sure what to do at this point. It's true that I feel like the story has served its purpose. It’s pretty old and my writing style has evolved and a lot of events mentioned in the fanfic simply aren’t happening anymore or aren’t of great importance. I’ve grown not too fond of the fanfic in recent years and don’t really care about it anymore and what happens to it.
However, I always thought I portrayed both Soviet and Imperial rule quite fairly in that fanfic. Russia isn’t to blame for all of their problems, some where caused by other nations or even themselves, and I even mention some of the good things the Soviets did for each nation like the improved sense of nationality and community as well as the wealth some nations got from it.
And even so, you cannot deny that many of those nations are in a horrible state currently. Uzbekistan with its child labor, Tajikistan with its poor life expectancy, Turkmenistan with its human rights violations, etc. Even Moldova is the poorest nation in Europe currently. True, some of that isn’t entirely Russia’s fault, but the iron grip the Soviet Union had on them certainly didn’t help them prepare for suddenly being thrust out into the real world and having to form democracies and economies very quickly. I’m extremely biased towards those nations in particular because I refuse to believe that people in a place like Tajikistan are genuinely happy when they can’t even afford stuff like bread or rice meanwhile their ‘president’ works out on solid gold equipment. Maybe I secretly am racist and hide it by pretending I care about their well-being.
Even people from those nations have praised me in my portrayals and how I talk about things not even their own governments disclose to the public.
It also seems a bit unfair to come after me and that other girl when there are tons of fanfics in the fandom that do similar things by portraying the nations in a darker, historical light. Are you going to go after them and say we have to constantly follow the light-hearted tone of the fandom even if technically nobody is being hurt? And ignore the fact this series is what got many people, including myself, interested in history in the first place?
I don’t hate the character of Russia nor do I hate the country. I just think it did some horrible things to the nations under its rule in the Soviet era. But I’m American. Maybe people from those nations really did enjoy being ruled in such a way and miss those days of worry and starvation because hey at least you got your own culture sorted out.
So I’m at a loss. Do I admit I became the very thing I sought to destroy, apologize, and delete the fanfic? Or do I stand my ground and keep it up, citing the people in support of it from those nations and the older date of the story as well as saying I’m far from the only person in the fandom who has done a thing like this?
Personally, I don’t want to think about it at all. I want to do absolutely nothing. I have more important things to do with my time. But I don’t want people thinking I’m some sort of racist or whatever
So what should I do?

I spent the majority of my night on r/imfourteenandthisisdeep and it’s one of the funniest Reddits I’ve ever seen in my life and I highly recommend it

This MEP's theme was 'girls whom everyone judges but they don't know how they really are!' Most of them I didn't know enough about, but some I did. Like why'd you pick Yuzu from Citrus? People judge her but they're pretty much correct about her. Are they referring to the fact that she's secretly dating her stepsister? I think Mei might've been a good one for that if you were going for that then....
Someone else did Junko from Danganronpa. Literally you could've picked any girl from this series and you picked the one that doesn't fit the theme at all. I would've even been alright if someone did Chihiro since he fits the theme
I know it's anime and thus it can be open for interpretation, but come on. I don't know who I would've picked to fit the theme, but I can guarantee you that it would fit far better and make far more sense than the options presented in the video
