I Will Never Get Tired Of Dragons But Honestly I’m Ready For More Fantasy Protagonists To Ride Around

Okay hi tumblr..,..

What’s up. I have OCD and anxiety, and here on tungl dot com, there is a nice little type of post that makes my blood pressure flip the fuck out every time, and it’s those “if you are reading this [x]” / “reblog and [y] will happen” type reblog memes

You know the ones: money cat, lucky xyz post, that sort of shit. The revival of old school yahoo viral email chains. Even immunity rabbit or whatever – same premise. Anything that says, ‘By reading or reblogging this post, you are activating some specific effect.’

Basically, most people can probably ignore them easily if they don’t like them; but others, especially those with particular psychological conditions (aka, ME) can actually suffer stress responses to posts like this. Obsessive-compulsive, schizophrenic spectrum, anxious, paranoid, magical thinking type disorders especially can see a superstitious post and have it automatically activate an anxious or compulsive reaction, because to the brain, it’s like a new rule/parameter has suddenly been introduced to your environment without warning. Now suddenly, whatever atypical structures frame your brain function have to accommodate for an alien factor. <- I don’t know if any of this really makes sense; it’s hard to articulate in a NT-accessible manner, but hopefully the general gist comes through.

Anyway. So far it’s been basically impossible for me (and therefore, I presume, others as well) to avoid posts like this, because they don’t tend to have any sort of universally recognized term to tag warn for. As a result I’m basically always playing Russian roulette with my dashboard.

A while ago, I asked tweeter followers to vote on the best thing to call these, and most agreed that ‘superstitious posts’ was fitting. So now I’m asking tomblr users to consider making my life and others’ lives easier and less stressful in One Easy Step:

Please

tag for #superstitious posts !

It would... honestly make a big difference if this were standardized and I will be eternally grateful ❤️😪

(Ok & encouraged for ppl to reblog this!!!)

BNHA x Among Us

I've legit seen folks (mainly some c!techno apologists who try to argue that his character HAS experienced the narrative consequences everyone else wants him to) claim that c!Wilbur has "never been punished" and "always got what he wanted." And that take... Just baffles me. Because...

Are you speaking in narrative terms? Are you saying the narrative itself has never punished Wilbur? Because might I direct you to the fact that: Every harebrained scheme the man has ever concocted has ended in disaster. Every time he takes any action, the narrative curbstomps him with consequences. Oh? He thinks he can have an innocent drug van? He and his friends are targeted with violence from the police. He thinks he can achieve safety through a loophole by making his own nation? He thinks that, if challenged, he can just ignore the threat of war until it goes away? His opposition destroys the land, continuously brutally attacks them, uses an inside man to kill them while their guard is lowered, and generally grinds his men into the dust and would have succeeded in their attempts to snuff out their rebellion had Tommy not made a great personal sacrifice. He tries to hold a one-party election to get a firm grasp on authority? Political opponents spring up and challenge him, the man he brought in for an endorsement runs against him and wins and kills and exiles him. He tries to find peace in death? Hellish Train Limbo.

This man fucking breathes wrong and the narrative is like "hmmmm. I think. He needs to suffer some consequences for that." (Which I love)

Or maybe you're talking about the idea that he was "escaping consequences" with his death? That he wanted to die and so him committing assisted suicide isn't really a consequence or a punishment? And to that not only may I again direct you back to "the man wanted to find peace in death only to find himself trapped in a hellish train limbo," but also... Is that really how you see suicide? When someone commits suicide, do you not feel anything negative about it because "well, they wanted to die, so they just got what they wanted?" I'd hope bet no. I'd hope bet you still feel bad for folks who kill themselves, you still think that dying-- even by suicide, even if that's what the person "wanted"-- is something bad. I'd hope bet you still recognize that the emotional state leading up to a person committing suicide is one of great suffering. So why is Wilbur any different? Why is his suffering suddenly erased, his death made out to be a positive for him or a grand success, just because "well, he wanted to die. He got what he wanted"?

Like sure. Wilbur wasn't executed or imprisoned for his crimes. But is that the only way you can conceptualize punishment? Consequences? Does it have to be systemic or connected to a government to matter? And just because it wasn't, does that mean Wilbur was not punished enough? Did not suffer enough? Did not experience the harsh consequences of his actions?

And hmmm. Doesn't that sound... familiar, actually? Doesn't that sound like... a certain self-destructive mentally ill man's own views on himself? Doesn't that sound like the mindset of a man desperate for punishment, a man who is being framed within the text as showcasing his self-harming traits-- as being incorrect-- in expressing that mindset?

Twice is the type of guy that will rob a bank and get caught because he stopped to help an old lady cross the street.

today is a shitpost from god

thinking about when i was small, how my mom told me that pipe cleaners were just a tool until people started idly shaping things with them and it grew so popular that they were marketed as crafting materials. and that story about how the original frisbees were disposable pie plates that students flattened to throw. and how when i was a child i had a wooden mancala set with shiny, colorful stones, but on invention it was played with rocks and grooves dug into the dirt. and middle school, paper football and tic-tac-toe and mash and mad libs, games that just need pen and paper. and before that, games of pretend with pirates and princes and masked marauders. how at slumber parties after lights out, we used to whisper storytelling games, i say one sentence and you say the next. and shadow puppets. and the way all the kids in the neighborhood used to divide into teams and throw fallen pine cones at one another. and the floor is lava game, and the quiet game, and the games i play with my coworkers that are just words and retention. and "put a finger down" on the high school bus. and little girls clapping together, and how the first jump-rope was undoubtedly just a length of rope who knows how long ago, and how natural it is to play, how we seek play at every age and with any resources we have and with whatever time we can squeeze it into in a day. i'm not an anthropologist or a psychologist but i think after food and shelter and water and air what comes next is games and stories and laughter. i think that there is nothing -- not sex or fighting or forming unlikely bonds with animals -- there is nothing more human than to play.
