Hey. Name's Martin, or Marty (though I prefer Martin), age 18+, and I'm the mun of musesofthegladeandbeyond (linked in the "My RP Blogs" page, the button for which you can find below in Desktop view; there is my OC blog, too, but that's currently on hiatus) and welovepokernight. If you want to ask me anything on any of my blogs or IM me, feel free (though I don't know if I can answer EVERY question).

the Gotei 13 makes way more sense once you realize it's not anything even remotely like a military, but is instead just a wacky high school:

  • 1st Division: administration
  • 2nd Division: student council
  • 3rd Division: emos + band
  • 4th Division: nurse's office
  • 5th Division: culture clubs
  • 6th Division: rich kids
  • 7th Division: delinquents
  • 8th Division: drama kids
  • 9th Division: misfits + school newspaper
  • 10th Division: preppies
  • 11th Division: jocks
  • 12th Division: freaks + science club
  • 13th Division: nice kids + glee club

Kidō Corps? janitorial staff. Arrancar and Espada? home schooled. Xcution? dropouts. Wandenreich? Catholic school

Don't complain about how "hard" tumblr roleplay is when you're the one making it worse

Before anyone complains, I'm not talking about rping itself, I'm talking about formatting. Not the graphics or icons, because those are just things you make ahead of time and just post it, I mean those people who edit the text itself to make it look "fancy" and fit the "aesthetic".

And then turn around and go play on discord because it's "easier".

??? Of course it's "easier", you're not spending 30+ minutes on your post to make it look pretty!

If you wanna make it fancy that's your choice??? I don't care what you do to make yourself happy??? But if you're literally going to another platform so that you don't have to worry about it, then you're REALLY blind.

Here's a solution: make some pretty icons. Maybe post borders. Focus on your writing. Done.

I garantee that if discord had "formatting" options like tumblr did forever ago, this stupid elitist attitude would still be running rampant, and you people would be making that "harder" too.

And before anyone whines at me, I don't mean fleeing to discord to avoid tumblr drama. I totally get that and don't blame you, this is JUST about formatting.

For Pete's sake guys just keep it simple if it's that hard for you, jeez.

Don't Use Callout Posts for Petty, Useless Stuff

Honestly a part of me wants to say "don't use callout posts ever" but I don't want to open the door for a legitimately abusive person to get away with stuff.

Look, I get how it started. Good intentions to warn people of dangerous, manipulative individuals. But the thing is that more and more people are using it for drama, not actual toxic behavior. There is a huge difference between someone legitimately abusing you, or someone who just happens to trigger you because they do something you don't like.

Unfortunately, most people on here can't tell the difference. And everyone jumps on the bandwagon.

So this isn't aimed just toward the people making the callout posts, it's all the people who get swept up in the emotions and drama and help spread the fire- without evidence, support, or even one iota of common sense.

So here's the new criteria: how about we only use callout posts when you feel like someone is in legitimate danger? Like someone is stalking people with intent to hurt or kill. Because at this point I don't know how else to get people to stop ruining people's lives and reputations over stupid stuff- some of which, it turns out, isn't even true.

just a reminder that BetterHelp is selling your fucking data and that they themselves have said at industry meetings that they're a data-driven company more than a people-driven company

It feels like for a while in there that people were dropping them as a sponsor but now that the controversy has slightly dimmed there are so many ads for them again; do not give them your information, do not give them your money

I know insurance is a pain in the ass and mental health treatments cost too much out of pocket for most people. So do they, that's why they're making this little bait and switch operation. Helping people is, at best, a side product of their data harvesting, and at worst just a trick to lure people in.

“KOSA wont pass, it got rejected the last two times!”

It wasn’t passed because people spoke out against it. People called and emailed their senators. So, CALL / EMAIL YOUR SENATORS. MAKE IT KNOWN THAT WE DO NOT WANT THIS BILL TO PASS!

“But its unconstitutional-“ There’ve been multiple bills passed before that are unconstitutional. This will not be any different to them, they do not care.

STOP KOSA!!!

Broke:

Belle has Stockholm syndrome because she falls in love with the Beast, her kidnapper.

Woke:

Stockholm syndrome was coined to slander a woman who had been in a hostage situation but openly criticized the poor police response which recklessly put her in more danger and escalated the violence. She was then belittled and discredited publically by the police for this.

So. Yeah. Maybe Belle does have Stockholm syndrome actually.

If anyone is curious here is the wikipedia section describing this.

[ID: Gif image from Disney's Beauty and the Beast with Gaston leading a large group of villagers down the road holding a torch. The atmosphere is dark.

Wikipedia screenshot containing the following:

According to accounts by Kristin Enmark, one of the hostages, the police however was acting incompetently, with little care for the hostages' safety, which forced the hostages to negotiate for their life and release with the robbers on their own. In the process the hostages saw the robbers behaving more rationally than police negotiators and therefore developed a deep distrust towards the latter. Enmark had criticized Bejerot specifically for endangering their lives by behaving aggressively and agitating the captors. She had criticized the police for pointing guns at the convicts while the hostages were in the line of fire and she had told news outlets that one of the captors tried to protect the hostages from being caught in the crossfire. She was also critical of prime minister Olof Palme, as she had negotiated with the captors for freedom, but the prime minister told her that she would have to content herself to die at her post rather than give in to the captors' demands. Ultimately, Enmark explained she was more afraid of the police whose attitude seemed to be a much larger, direct threat to her life than the robbers.]

Hope the ID helps, it's my first time writing one.

Excerpts from “See What You Made Me Do: The Dangers of Domestic Abuse That We Ignore, Explain Away, or Refuse to See” by Jess Hill

Here are some other facts you should know about Nils Bejerot: He had a major influence (this involved founding the "Swedish National Association for a Drug-free Society") on Sweden's zero-tolerance approach to drug use.

And he wrote "Barn, Serier, Samhälle" (Children, Comics, Society), basically the Swedish version of "Seduction of the Innocent"; an infamous anti-comics book by Fredric Wertham that led to the Comics Code Authority.

Bejerot described comic books as a "significant mental hygiene and cultural problem that concerns us all."

This is the man who coined the phrase "Stockholm syndrome", guys.
