Time Loop Fans When The Loop Changes Slightly

TW: Ableism

I don't know which late/self-diagnosed autistic needs to hear this, but your autism pre-diagnosis wasn't "mild" and you didn't go "under the radar"

You were ignored - whether it be intentionally or unintentionally. There was a time or multiple when you tried to advocate for yourself - when you were visibly struggling, and you were ignored, ostracized and expected to "rise above" it.

You are disabled. You've been disabled. Unfortunately you just did not have the support system to help you.

Just once I want there to be one of those big narrative epic games-as-film type video games that forces you to be a faggot. Not "there's a male romance option" no "optional romances" at all not only is the MC gay, he is having 20 minutes of unskippable gay kissing spread across 80 hours of cutscenes and it is integral to the story and if you skip past the gay kissing you will miss vital plot beats. For the next 400 hours of gameplay you are a homosexual and you are going to LIKE it.

self discipline is so hard like. i know the sucker who's in charge...a pushover who hates authority and loves hedonism

bug report

my insatiable desire for praise and attention + my inability to take any negative criticism and feedback keep interfering with each other and it’s ruining my enjoyment of the game

male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'

death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'

I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts

death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.

male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.

Blocking someone annoying isn’t easy for a soft boiled egg man like me but it’s still doable. Unfollowing someone amusing who reblogs 1 insufferable post every 2 weeks tho? Way too fucking difficult. So I’ve developed a strategy that’s so stupid it actually works: Roleplaying as a yugioh antagonist.

You were being mean with neither whimsy or compassion on my dash? I whisper “Blue eyes white dra/go/ fuck yourself” [unfollowed]

Bad hot take? “Get banished to the shadow realm!” [blocked]

let’s settle this shit but do NOT reblog if you’re gonna be modest about it like a little BITCH. anyway privilege check tell me which ones apply to you: hot, funny, can dance, can do math, can spell, can drive, can cook

was gonna make a comp of stuff from the various interesting things from th various muppet style guides but this one hit so hard i had t post it on its own
