Why Did “be Critical Of Your Media” Turn Into “find All Its Flaws And Hate It” Why Did People

thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'

thinking about Lovejoy describing themselves in three words as 'Aromantic British Noises'

thinking about how the idea of aromanticism isn't nearly as widespread as it is on Tumblr/various other corners of the internet

thinking about how most people would probably assume the use of Aromantic as a descriptor would imply a lack of any kind of love or romance or close interpersonal relationships in their music which is INHERENTLY NOT TRUE

thinking about Lovejoy choosing Aromantic specifically, confident enough in understanding the actual concept/culture of aromanticism to describe their entire band

thinking about the potential for there to be someone(s) in Lovejoy who is either on the Aromantic spectrum or has considered it as a possibility and has researched it to understand it (and maybe themselves) better

thinking about hard about Lovejoys songs and realising that despite a few having vaguely romantic or implied romantic connotations, you could absolutely do an aro-spec reading of their whole discography

thinking about Lovejoy becoming part of Aro Culture in my heart

thinking about being aro-spec myself, and how id consider the term 'lovejoy' to still very much be my vibe despite that.

thinking about self described Aromantic British Noises, Lovejoy.

thinking about Lovejoy.

Pillow fight!🪶

First years sleep over

fabrics of the 18th century

Ok I know the plot of Soul Eater but haven’t gotten around to watching it yet (has totally not procrastinate it). Back on track their is two Mc one boy one girl Yuki and Yuri they are twins. Yuki he is the one how wilders Yuri in her weapon form.

———

*Student OB* Yuki: Yuri come

Yuri & Yuki:

———

Ace: How did you do that?

Yuki: In our world Yuri is my weapon.

Yuri: I eat the souls of all the people/monsters we defeat.

Crowly: Why do all the weird students come here

Yuri: I am not weird if I eat 100 souls I will become a weapon of death himself!

Yuki: The last soul you need is witch... most people die when trying to kill them.

Yuri: But we won’t!

Yuki: Stop with your lies.

Yuri: NO!

———

In the end the brother sister duo are now feared when they are together but nothing bad happens when they are alone as the fear they have dealing with both of them.

Canadian Mc

As a Canadian I can say that most of us make fun of stupid people not from Canada, with telling them all lies about our climate. So mc is from Canada and is now laughing about the facts they give the other first years (most of them are fake tho).

———

Ace: Hey, Yuu how is everything in your world like.

Mc: Well we’re I’m from it’s really cold all the time.

Ace: That doesn’t seem to bad, Jack lives in the north.

Mc: Cold enough that in some places people live in igloos because they can’t build houses in the climate.

Ace: Oh!

Mc: I was close to the border so I lived in a house, but in knew people how didn’t.

Ace: !?!?

———

Silver: How dose police get by with out carriages or cars as it seems you don’t have roads of any kind.

Mc: Horses, police ride horses.

Silver: So do you know how to ride them.

Mc: No, most people move by dog sleds, snowmobiles or walking.

Silver: Oh.

Lilia: *Mouths to Mc “lies”*

Mc: *Smiles and brings finger to mouth*

Lilia: *Nods and smiles*

———

Mc: I’m sorry I’m late!

Crewel: Bad dog, why were you late!

Mc: There was a moose outside of my dorm!

Crewel: You could have just left.

Mc: No! Me getting even close to a moose is like a mouse fighting a dragon. I could have died if I left my dorm.

Grim: How the hell do you know that?

Mc: In Canada moose’s come and go were so schools sure down because of them.

———

Jack: I want to know more about the wild life from Canada.

Mc: Moose will trample anyone that gets to close to them, survivors of moose attacks say that the moose will show up outside their house.

Jack: How about bears.

Mc: Polar bears are the only bear that will follow someone to kill them, a normal size human male torso is that same size of their paw.

Jack: Ok that’s all I need.

———

The moose and polar bear are actually facts so try avoiding those animals.

50 years from today someone will tear out this kitchen. And this cabinet which fills out and empty space will get the whole neighborhood on their feet. I wish I could travel in time to see the face expression of that poor guy that will pull the countertop off of that cabinet.

It's Ok

Some of my favorite words and phrases to describe a character in pain

coiling (up in a ball, in on themselves, against something, etc)

panting (there’s a slew of adjectives you can put after this, my favorites are shakily, weakly, etc)

keeling over (synonyms are words like collapsing, which is equally as good but overused in media)

trembling/shivering (additional adjectives could be violently, uncontrollably, etc)

sobbing (weeping is a synonym but i’ve never liked that word. also love using sob by itself, as a noun, like “he let out a quiet sob”)

whimpering (love hitting the wips with this word when a character is weak, especially when the pain is subsiding. also love using it for nightmares/attacks and things like that)

clinging (to someone or something, maybe even to themselves or their own clothes)

writhing/thrashing (maybe someone’s holding them down, or maybe they’re in bed alone)

crying (not actual tears. cry as in a shrill, sudden shout)

dazed (usually after the pain has subsided, or when adrenaline is still flowing)

wincing (probably overused but i love this word. synonym could be grimacing)

doubling-over (kinda close to keeling over but they don’t actually hit the ground, just kinda fold in on themselves)

heaving (i like to use it for describing the way someone’s breathing, ex. “heaving breaths” but can also be used for the nasty stuff like dry heaving or vomiting)

gasping/sucking/drawing in a breath (or any other words and phrases that mean a sharp intake of breath, that shite is gold)

murmuring/muttering/whispering (or other quiet forms of speaking after enduring intense pain)

hiccuping/spluttering/sniffling (words that generally imply crying without saying crying. the word crying is used so much it kinda loses its appeal, that’s why i like to mix other words like these in)

stuttering (or other general terms that show an impaired ability to speak — when someone’s in intense pain, it gets hard to talk)

staggering/stumbling (there is a difference between pain that makes you not want to stand, and pain that makes it impossible to stand. explore that!)

recoiling/shrinking away (from either the threat or someone trying to help)

pleading/begging (again, to the threat, someone trying to help, or just begging the pain to stop)

Feel free to add your favorites or most used in the comments/reblogs!

Welcome to Tumblr, Twitter users!

Don’t worry, we don’t have Elon Musk here… 

But hipsters beware, you’re in for a scare!

*GOOSEBUMPS THEME INTENSIFIES*

This isn’t Twitter. This isn’t your average every day site. This is Tumblr. We’re crazy. We’re weird. We don’t fit in. We’re the fangirls, the fujoshis, the Superwholockers, and the Steven Universe Critical bloggers. We forgot what “normal” was. So if you’re expecting a normal website…
