"I love freaks and weirdos and strange people and people who don't conform and behave oddly because they can't mask all their symptoms and-" you guys genuinely can't even handle it when an anxious person uses a script in a conversation
Look guys if you're constantly derogatorily talking about "people who stutter while ordering food"/"people who are too scared to talk to the barista" as if they are a group of morally or mentally deficient persons then I simply do not believe you when you reblog posts about normalizing people who stim, who talk to themselves in public, who don't talk at all. Sorry!
"i love the hypothetical person who can't mask and also feels no anxiety about it and developed no related trauma that makes them avoidant and also laughs when i make fun of someone who can't make a phone call"
Gale likes cooking and Halsin has a sweet tooth and I'm expected to believe these men have shrink-wrapped abs? No. Lies. Falsehoods, even.

stop thinking about "glades" and cross your "glaive" with mine boy. a traveller approaches
*sigh* who goes there..
if you think about it, every time we tranquilize animals to transport them safely to another place, we are the sleep paralysis demon
We failed as a society when everyone stopped wearing headphones.
At my parents place with 2 children watching YT on tablets and 2 adults watching tiktoks and reels on their phones and trying not to summon a comically sized Loony Toons hammer out of my back pocket to smash them all.
I'm rebloging this twice im tired of people not wearing headphones when watching videos in public. It's basic etiquette to wear headphones in public when you listen to things.
Even worse is full grown adults waltzing into restaurants or grocery stores blasting music full volume on their phone and then throwing a tantrum when a staff member politely asks them to turn the volume down because they literally can't hear themselves think over the extremely loud bass while trying to talk to an 80 year old customer who already has trouble hearing
I feel like some people need to relearn Genre Expectations... "Man, this tragedy sucks!!! Why didn't they just do XYZ, then everything could have ended happily!!" well, then it wouldn't be a tragedy, would it. "Man, this lighthearted teen romcom is terrible, it's so sappy and unrealistic!!" Well, yeah. If it had been gritty and dark, it wouldn't have been a lighthearted romcom, would it. Is the writing actually bad or are you just trying to order a milkshake from a Home Depot
Some people got so deep into the deconstruction media phase that they don't like anything normally constructed any more.
"This piece of media uses TROPES!"
"...which ones don't do that, again?"
Then there's the whole thing where because some Japanese media "doesn't have conflict in it" you're too Western and need to stop writing so badly.
(When the plots of said media were explained to me? From what I could tell they had conflict in them. It was just, like, "which tea do I want?" rather than "how do I kill the demons?")
the funniest thing about being gay is the way that displays of heterosexuality inevitably age into homosexuality. the women's parlour tea societies and pier-side strongmen of the 1900s. the patriotic rosie riveters and coiffed soldier boys of wartime. the A-line skirts and cat eye glasses and mutton chops and flares of the 70s. the camo minidresses and divine sisterhoods and lad on lad on lad culture of the 90s. it's ours now. the bikers and the sailors and the flappers and the beat poets and the hippies and the ladies maids. you parody yourselves to escape from us and we eat it for breakfast forever and ever amen.
"DISRUPTION: TACTICS
The faggots never tire of fucking with the men's minds. Once all the faggots let their hair grow long, wore necklaces made of silver and shells and clothes of colorful, elaborate fabrics. They looked so stunning that the men over-looked their principles and began to look stunning also. When the men all looked like faggots, the faggots cut their hair, put on black leather and looked like the men used to look. The men were annoyed and pretended not to notice. Growing bored with basic black leather, the faggots began to elaborate. They wore black fish-net stockings and high heels with their black leather jackets. They carefully sewed imitation rhinestones all over their black leather pants. They wore feather boas as they rode their motorcycles through the devastated city. They wore flowing gold lame gowns and workboots with their short hair and dirty fingernails. They drank beer and swore, in velvet robes and furs. They sipped champagne and talked refined in paint-splattered blue denim. The men did not want to look at any of this. And when they had to, they became confused and petulant and unpleasant, which pleased the faggots."

how have i woken up to this shrex post twice already aye what have i done
Don’t worry, it’s easy to be ogrewhelmed by this Shrektacular post…
'stockholm syndrome' being invented by a police negotiator to explain away why a hostage said police actions were making her and the other hostages feel unsafe is like. yeah
hey
Why was it executed
Anastasia wasn’t a Disney movie. Saying it is now, simply because Disney bought Fox, is creatively anachronistic. Don Bluth didn’t fight in the animation trenches and escape the clutches of The Mouse to have his work artistically misattributed. I’m not dying on this hill. I’m defending this hill. I’m killing on this hill.
Isekai with male protags: "I was a loser on earth but now I'm super fucking strong and gettin mad bitches"
Isekai with female protags:
Right, should have thought of that.
In order:
I'm annoyed by what SAO did to isekai again so here's some more
If you'd consider Korean isekai, there's even more variety!
This chart is several years old and I've been in and out of the girlsekai community so I don't have the freshest recs, but some others:
There's a surprisingly high number of isekai manga where the main character is an overworked guy working for some corporation with no goal in life whatsoever, and in another world they become a chill girl fighting monsters, being a noble lady, or doing some cottagecore stuff (while being an attractive-looking woman).
Not saying all of them are trans, but... it does make you wonder what the author had in mind.
