Oh my gosh can my mom just go to bed already?! I bet I'm going to get fed-up and go into her room to take the iPod back and find out she's actually been asleep for the past hour or something, she just never put it back

My Mom: *Actually being in a good mood for once, is relaxing, feels good, has done all of the things she needs to do for the day, is perfectly happy* My Baby Brother: "I'm about to ruin this woman's whole career"
That is how the young sibling do
He's fifteen, he should know better lol
my sister is too but she can still be a brat st times
He just thinks it''s funny to ruin other peoples' days
I’m Faith I’m here for everyone please fill me in
I went on Henry Zaga’s Instagram earlier since I was trying to find a picture for my mom, I made the mistake of reading the comments and immediately wanted to kill myself I’m not trying to defend casting people who aren’t part of a specific group to play a specific group. However, the director made his choice and he obviously thought he was the best one to play the character. I feel so bad for this guy who is only a few years older than me getting all of this hate for something he can’t even control. He likely won’t drop out of the series(I really hope he doesn’t) but he might delete his social media. And honestly, even though I really love the casting choices, there are far stranger ones for everyone to complain about if they must complain about something, like they changed a main character’s ethnicity even though the book explicitly makes it important that he’s white! But Henry Zaga is a minority too anyway! But nobody will complain about that
Stop screaming ‘go learn respect’ at him and start practicing what you preach, it was the director’s choice to cast him and not his own
I really wish you could pin GoodReads comments like YouTube ones: "I'll level with you i'm only here as a gag because you wrote that you reject people who "give [you] a super weird answer" to this question in like 2017 in this polls for our souls discussion* *https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... anyway here i am. Pls don't accept this request i just thought it would be funny lmao hope that answer was weird enough!"
I almost want to add him anyway because that wasn't what I meant by 'super weird answers' lol that one actually made me laugh
Mom: "I've just been feeling really uninspired lately. I want to get some new ideas and get out of my comfort zone. Really draw something that I've never attempted before to look for inspiration," Me: *gives her a bunch of different ideas she could try*
Mom: "How about no"
I'm tripping out hardcore, I poured milk into my cereal then nearly threw it away because I thought I messed it up Then I tried to microwave it
Me: "The only reason why guys were so much hotter in the nineties compared to now is because you guys were actually allowed to eat sugar for breakfast,"
Mom told me Grandpa used to have The Stand miniseries on Laserdisc and my eyes rolled back into my head so fast lol
I know this is probably a controversial opinion but I'm not the biggest fan of this whole 'gender-neutral childhood' we seem to be in favour of pushing lately. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great we're pushing the boundaries of gender identity and telling kids it's okay to be into whatever you're into regardless of your gender. I just feel like it completely alienates kids who actually enjoy things made for their gender. I know lots of people who actually enjoy being part of traditional gender norms and everyone always insults them for it, calling them sexist or backwards or telling them they're setting society back hundreds of years. We know it's wrong to make fun of girly boys or tomboyish girls, so why is it suddenly okay to make fun of boyish boys or girly girls? I can't begin to tell you how sick I am of getting dirty looks by preteens in the library everytime they see me stroll in with my nails done perfectly and a nice dress on when I can't even tell the difference between the boys and the girls. I also feel like it could encourage children who aren't actually transgender to start believing they are because they're encouraged to act like the other gender. Even though it's quite normal for children to pretend they're the opposite gender, but most grow out of it. I don't know, it's hard to properly form my opinion on this without sounding transphobic or sexist or something. I just think we should celeberate all gender roles, not just the traditional ones and not just the non-conformist ones. That's what we should be about. All identities are important and matter, no matter what yours is. Even if you're cis, that's okay! If you're trans, that's okay too! If you're cis but like stuff of the opposite gender, that's cool too! And if you're both or nothing or in-between, that's cool too! We should all just celebrate each other instead of trying to act like being non-conformist is the best and only option while constantly spitting at people who like more traditional gender roles but aren't even that bad of people(Not like they'd ever know since it's not like they ever talk to them or anything)
Am I Getting Sick or is it Just Allergies?: A Guide to the Fall Season By Me
I always thought gender neutral childhood WAS encouraging them to like whatever they enjoyI've seen bashing for girly girls though and that's not cool. but never boyish boys. Toxic masculinity is still going strong sadly. My dad taught us that
I was always teased when. we watched Disney Princess movies so I grew to hate them. I never wanted to play with my sister since she liked that stuff and I thought something was wrong with my brother because he DID play with her.
I thought it was encouraging children to be gender-neutral and play with stuff like bland-coloured buildings blocks I've seen people get upset at guys who like sports and cute girls and stuff like that and say 'you shouldn't like that at all, you're such a typical meatheaded jock! gonna rape any girls? gonna slip them a date-rape drug? gonna keep them in the kitchen? boys like you would be better off if you all just wore dresses and stayed quiet like how you want us to be!' Even if the guy in question is the nicest, sweetest, kindest man ever who would never dream of hitting another man, let alone a woman. But no, he's bad just because he likes trucks and sports and stuff like that
I haven't seen that. Just removing labels like "boys/girls toy" in stores, having clothes in different colors, etcI imagine that happens. I've just never heard of that.
I guess I just get nervous thinking about parents forcing their children to play with stuff like that even if the kid doesn't want to. I can't speak from experience since I loved boy toys growing up and my baby brother loved girl toys growing up, but even if I didn't, I still would never force my daughters to play with boy toys if they didn't like them. I'd let my kids tell me what it was they wanted to play with by giving them a wide selection and going from there. That's what my parents did, they gave me both boy and girl toys and gender-neutral stuff too and saw what I liked
If I had kids ((haha good one)) I'd tell them to go pick out toys they wantReasonably priced of course but if it's something they want why the heck should I dictate that? it's not for me!
Lol I'm just going to adopt I've actually been thinking of doing that sperm donor thing where I use the sperm of a random guy to impregnate me but that's just because I want to get pregnant without actually having to touch a guy. I wouldn't actually want the kid afterwards so I think adoption is the best choice for me
Of course if my future wife wants me to use a sperm donor or if she does then I'll start to seriously consider it then since it's her decision too
I'm so flattered by your words :pI'm joking.
How is it I have total different opinions
I don't see what's so flattering lol
It's sarcasm.

Mom asked me if I'm going to make a Danganronpa version of that new meme-able horrible teen comedy on Netflix like I did for Swiped and I told her no because it doesn't fit Danganronpa at all unlike Swiped which fits it really well lol
You: "Why don't people ever eat in books?" Me, an Intellectual: "Why don't people ever use the bathroom in books?"
I swear I just saw an ad on Wiki that said something like: “The Dark Knight: Not Just Marvel’s Version of Batman”
Coders: “How many updates do you want in one day?”AO3: “Yes,”
Not a day goes by in my life where I don’t regret watching that sugarless gummy bear challenge video like it legit traumatized me lol
My mom really just took my baby brother out to Mc’Donald’s at one in the morning I’d give anything to see what the employees think of that lol
I think it’s weird but knowing my mom she wouldn’t have taken him out at any other time lol
I had already eaten earlier and besides I was too tired to go. She would’ve taken me if I wanted and I just didn’t want to. Nothing wrong with that
Not even going to lie, the thing I miss the most about being a kid is that thrill you get from purposefully doing bad things, like staying up past your bedtime on your computer or DS, or secretly eating candy before dinner, or quietly watching an 'adult' show on the TV in your room. You get a huge satisfying feeling of excitement and thrill knowing you're doing something that's 'naughty' and you're getting away with it But when you're an adult, you can do those things all you want and it never feels the same. I still live with my mom and yet I can do whatever I want. I don't feel excited when I stay up late or eat candy before dinner because I'm responsible for my own actions and nobody cares if an adult does those things
Yeah there's illegal things, but I'm not going to do something like shoplift or murder somebody just to get that thrill back of 'oooooh i'm doing something naughty~'
It's the feeling that I miss the most from my childhood that nothing as an adult will ever compare to. If I was given the choice to be a kid again, even for a day, I'd take it just to experience that thrilling rush of doing something bad and getting away with it and nobody ever knowing
I still feel that way but I'd also still be punished for watching adult videos so I guess that's kinda moot
Although most of the time it's paranoia someone will walk in because I'm not allowed to have my door shut and my room is right by the living room
I'm not even talking about porn or anything, I'm talking about shows with a certain rating. Like I used to watch TV-14 stuff when I was thirteen secretly because I was afraid of Mom coming in and seeing God I'd die if I was never allowed to shut my door. In every house I've ever lived in my bedroom door is shut whenever I'm in it. I am not listening to whatever bullcrap my brothers are getting into at any given hour
Oh. I don't do that but then again we don't have streaming stuff on our computers, just the main TVOh, it's quite fun when people are in the living room and screaming and crying. Nothing in the world is more fun than having to listen to that even with headphones on!
My mom just gave me back the iPod just because it was dead, I'm crying lol
That's actually why Mom thinks I keep getting sick, because my door is shut all of the time and thus my room isn't allowed to be aired out properly. Our house has a bad mold/mildew problem and a few years ago I had extremely bad allergies/colds way worse than normal and Mom thought it was from that(she was right)
Ad: "A brand new gummy candy-!" Me: "Go on,"
Ad: "From Airheads-!"
Me: *closes out video*
Me: “Hey Mom, can I help with bringing in the groceries?”Mom: “Not right now, you can later though,”
Me: “But there won’t even be any groceries left in the car later to take in!?!?!”
My mom is honestly going to be mad at me for being upset with her earlier because she was going to force me to listen to her read a book that I have no interest in every single night? An eight-hundred page book. And that gives her the right to treat me like a bad person? I have stuff to do sometimes at night. What if I’m sick? What if I’m about to pass out? I can’t be expected to listen to a book every single night that I honestly do not care about
