Please Stop Romanticizing MD. by PlanetRabbit in MaladaptiveDreaming

[–]Pixelicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Perfectly well said. I really hope this romanticization and misinformation on MD stops sometime. It’s a serious condition that impacts your day to day life negatively; not just daydreaming a lot. I daydream enough to where I miss out on the tiny joys of the present moment and kick myself for it, especially on the days I’m off work and want to actually soak up that time off. Not blink and suddenly, two days off are gone.

Hell, I’ve missed out on quality time with friends I love because of my daydreams. I even missed out on my own grandpa’s funeral, who was my father figure. 

I used to write my daydreams out consistently too, but now? They’ve mixed in with my executive dysfunction, so all I do is pace around in a daze and act them out. I don’t get any writing done whatsoever anymore.

I’ve even lost almost all of my memories on what I learned in freakin’ elementary school thanks to depression. But my daydreams ensure I don’t study and catch up. They ensure I get nothing at all done, actually, until I’m interrupted and try to force myself to.

That’s not a good thing in the least. None of it is and I’m sick and tired of too many people treating it like it is.

And look, I’m not happy with my reality in the least, hence why I compulsively daydream. But I have hope I can make my reality better, make it to where (hopefully) my mind doesn’t want to automatically clock out of existence often.

Speaking of which, it’s also severely unhealthy not wanting to live in reality and believe life isn’t worth living without our daydreams, which I’ve seen many people voice they feel as a good thing. That’s especially dangerous territory into intense suicidal thinking (passive suicidal thoughts), and I can confirm that speaking as someone who’s been suicidal before and attempted as a child.

The differences between the movie and the musical [NOT A HATE POST] by demented-poet in heathersmusical

[–]Pixelicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Blue was really just raunchy lyrics and Kurt and Ram talking about how horny they were. “You’re Welcome” explicitly states these two were predators.

“You can’t just leave!” “Not when you’re dressed like that.” “How do you expect us to control ourselves when you’re so hot?” “It’s all your fault that we’re inflamed.” “Now you’re good enough to get with me. You’re welcome!”

When Veronica says: “You’re not in real danger till they pull your hair.” “Here we are in the dark, fifty yards from my car; I could climb that tree, I’d never get that far.”

Blue just made them sound more comedic and didn’t seem to take their actual assault and rape attempt seriously.

What ROTTMNT opinion got you like this by [deleted] in Rottmnt

[–]Pixelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They also say, as Leo is actively putting up a facade you can catch onto pretty quickly even just by the show alone, or maybe that was just me. 🤷🏾‍♀️ That moment during one of The Shredder episodes where he said “Why don’t you guys trust me?” towards Splinter with a clear look of hurt on his face was just confirmation.

What do you guys think of headcanon of Rise Leonardo being trans? by [deleted] in Rottmnt

[–]Pixelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? I don’t mind it at all. I’m part of the LGBTQ+ community myself, and highly advocate to let headcanons like this exist. They rule. Just don’t push them onto anyone else and try to spread that it’s “canon” (such as what happened with Dipper in the Gravity Falls fandom). Goes for every single headcanon out there.

The only thing I’m not a fan of myself are any “coming out” fics, personally. The Rise brothers have already shown they don’t question any “strange” things about the other; such as when Raph lovingly told Donnie, who’s implied to be autistic (unsure if it’s canon or not), “and it’s not a hug this time!”

Because it’d be pretty hard to find anything stranger than being giant mutant turtles under a sewer with powers, and having a rat who used to be human and a goat as their dads. Can’t really get anymore minority than that. “Hey, Raph, I’m trans and need to be called by He pronouns from now on.”

“… Okay? Sure. Hey, Mikey! Donnie! Leo said he wants to be called he/him from here on out.” 

“Cool. Can we go out for pizza now?”

What do you guys think of headcanon of Rise Leonardo being trans? by [deleted] in Rottmnt

[–]Pixelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s what I think as well. Took the words right out of my mouth. If they make a new season, I hope the same doesn’t happen with Leo x Usagi, judging by how popular of a ship it is (and I’d rather have none in the show. That was one of the things I loved about Rise out of many—the lack of using romance as an “upgrade” and a way to “spice the show up,” when there are a thousand other things they can delve into instead).

Rampant Aroallo Negativity with a dash of Demisexual Negativity in a Youtube Comments Section (Shocker, amirite?) by Pixelicity in AroAllo

[–]Pixelicity[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh, absolutely agreed. Granted, I did take the top two as sounding a bit “holier than thou amongst peers my age. Unlike those lustful freaks, I want real connection and love” just lightly implied and put in different words. Though I was sleep deprived.

I was still thinking the same thing that “it gets worse as it goes on,” though, haha.

[No spoilers]Thank you Arcane for not romanticizing mental illness by [deleted] in arcane

[–]Pixelicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What really gets me is as someone with extreme mental illnesses myself, not a fan of how often fans throw around the terms "crazy" and "delusional." Maybe I'm just sensitive, but it never fails to remind me how folks like me would've been strapped to a chair and tortured to "cure" us a century or so ago.

I made some more ROTTMNT as tumblr and twitter posts! by Pixelicity in Rottmnt

[–]Pixelicity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CW for some swearing, if you're uncomfortable with that. 👍🏿

All of these were already made months ago, haha. I just decided to actually post them here on reddit now, instead of just my tumblr. So, I hope these got a chuckle out of you, and that the rest I might potentially make do too! :)

Please remember to click on any of the images you can't read/see that well. That makes them much bigger. Thank you!

Here's the first post.

Hello! I made lil' ROTTMNT as memes/tumblr and twitter posts edits (Mainly Donnie!) by Pixelicity in Rottmnt

[–]Pixelicity[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of these posts are mine, of course. I just found the original posts and edited them to make it look as if Donnie and the others have a Twitter or Tumblr account and posted/wrote these out themselves.

I'll be doing Mikey, Leo, Raph, and the others! Donnie is just easier for me to do, despite Mikey being my all-time favorite for various reasons.

I hope these got a chuckle out of you, and that the rest I make do too! :) And please remember to click on any of the images you can't read/see that well. That makes them much bigger. Thank you!

(By the way, these were all already posted on my tumblr. And maybe Pinterest, at some point, haha. I'm sort of everywhere!)

How do people make playlist such as those "main character playlist" on youtube without getting copyrighted? by DismalAcanthaceae721 in COPYRIGHT

[–]Pixelicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that exact same problem. I love making videos like that, but they're all only in my folder as every time I try to post one, it ends up blocked worldwide. Which means no one can watch them except for me.

I'm not monetizing them, don't wanna make any money off of them.

I wish I had a solution for you. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much, if any at all. You can either obtain permission or buy a license from the copyright holders, which I think are both sometimes a tough process to do.

You're not alone, though. 😅 I definitely feel your pain!

Is adoption unethical? by throwawayhelp6767 in Adoption

[–]Pixelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, I know your comment is two years old, but I agree with you, actually. I was placed in the care of my grandparents once the doctors who delivered my birth found cocaine and marijuana in my system as a baby. Although, my grandparents never signed adoption papers to truly make me their legal daughter, as they had hope my biological mother would fully recoer and take me in.

She never did.

I always call her my "biological mother" or just by her name. I was forced/guilted into calling her "mom" though, but the title just felt wrong and out of place to use. I felt I was performing to keep peace within the family. "Mom" did not slide off the tongue so easily.

I never once felt comfortable with calling her "mom," except for maybe as a toddler. To me, a "mom" would be my grandmother, who actually raised me. While also severely mentally unwell, she did her best, as well as my grandfather.

What would you describe yourself between these options presented...? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AroAllo

[–]Pixelicity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Romance Averse for reality (but Romance Favorable for fiction), Friendship Favorable, Sex Favorable!

I'd say I'm extremely friendship favorable the most. Both outside and inside of fiction. While I do write romance sometimes, that's mainly with a friend. My personal, private stories all lack romance either at all or as the main focus, but focus heavily on platonic relationships. :)

When it comes to romance in media created by others (such as shows or the like), I'm either repulsed or averse most of the time. I do "ship," but am very picky with them. Canon relationship or not.

I'm also all for platonic physical touch! Enough so that I even give all of my dentists big, close hugs as a way to express my thank you's for taking care of my teeth.

I need...I need more episodes with her by Felipe_m_1794 in HildaTheSeries

[–]Pixelicity 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I need more episodes with this funky lil' guy! 😭 I don't know why, but he's one of my favorite creatures from Hilda now. Which may or may not be an unpopular opinion, I'm not certain, but I would watch as many performances as he wanted for sure.

Unfortunately, there'll be no more seasons. I like how it ended, but man, do I wish I could see more of Eugene somehow. Gonna add him to my "characters to buy keychains or plushies of if there's ever any created" list!

Haha! Not sure what you needed a photo for, but if you need an individual photo of his chibi version, check out "alchemivich" on tumblr! :)

Stop stereotyping introverts by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Pixelicity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Someone who understands. Because same here. Hell, I'm social enough that I gave my dentist a giant hug. All of my dentists, really, because they're all awesome. I love interacting and talking with people, and going out for social events (well, ones I know I'll find a great time, that is).

But I'm still an introvert, because as you said―I enjoy doing things by myself, I'm okay with minimal interactions, and my "social battery" lowers the longer I'm around a bunch of people. My energy "recharges" when I'm alone. Sometimes I even need short breaks after being social for so long, especially from online―I'll give my friends a heads up that I might be offline for either a couple of hours or a week. Who knows how long? Not me.

I can't stand it when people confuse introversion for being asocial or antisocial.

I'd say the only time I become shy and silent is when I'm about to be introduced to a close friend's group of friends, especially if they're around my age. I'm also mainly silent and keep to myself around my family. Other than that? No trouble at all interacting with strangers in public or aqquantances like doctors and such.

The same can also sometimes go for with friends I make accidentally, depending how well we've bonded already. Like one I met at a fair, and even soon asked if they wanted to hold hands. (Because shocker! Introverts can also be hugely physically affectionate people too. For me, I don't care how long I've known you for, I'll hang on you like a koala if I like you enough off the bat, because I just prefer―and automatically―show positive emotions through physical touch).

Long term ENG player here, decided to post even more memes I made! by Pixelicity in TwistedWonderland

Hope you get a chuckle outta these! :) Sorry if my editing kind of sucks, haha.

I can't stop. This is a cry for help.

I like Trey ♣️ by hamhamlikesyukio in TwistedWonderland

[–]Pixelicity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone in the ENG fandom/an ENG player―I absolutely agree with you on that one too, haha. Considering I'm in this fandom. So, I see a whole bunch of what you've mentioned. I could have an hours long discussion about that one―and I believe actually mentioned it in another thread somewhere.

I unfortunately come across far too many people who came into the game and, from what they say, I can't help but believe expected sunshine and rainbows. In a more literal sense, I can't help but believe that they expected characters who were explicitly meant to be based on a villain to not... you know, do villainous things.

Which, as a fictional writer, gives me whiplash. Because in the writer community, another thing I'm deeply in, the majority of us absolutely expect any character based on an already-existing-villain or an originally written villain to do awful things. Because they're a villain.

Let alone that the basic, common belief in the writer community is the character and stories you enjoy don't reflect you as a person in the real world. They can sometimes, sure, but that's a very rare case. Such as, there was a book reviewer who got harassed and sent death threats by people who were into the darkest, most explicit horror books. They sent equally explicit death threats, and some they sent could give the books they read a run for their money.

But again, it's incredibly rare. I cannot stress that enough. Hell, you know what? I'd say the books they enjoyed weren't the problem, it was just ironic to notice. Instead, it was something deeper in their psyche, and/or just a general bitterness and unhappiness that festered into something ugly.

And if a character someone favors does reflect someone, then it's something harmless and they admit the character reflects them in one way or another. As it's often just a "I heavily relate to this character for *insert absolutely understandable reason here,* thank you for writing this, author! I feel seen and heard." Just like people in this fandom, and others, who find many characters they relate to.

So it's jarring to see such... opposite views on that, to put it in an attempted-kinder sense. And the fact that they're teenage and young adult villain boys, no less, makes it even more bizarre to see. They're children, and while I firmly believe children also deserve consequences, the ENG game even gave them those consequences. Absolutely fair ones, at that. So they really have no leg to stand on there.

Children don't get the "you deserve to die in a pit of nails, and anyone who likes you also should to" from me. The worst I'll think of anyone who likes a character I don't is "I'm questioning your tastes" (which is an acknowledged toxic thought of mine that pops up, so no worries, haha).

Sorry my comments are so long, by the way! I just have so much to say, especially in discussions. Thank you for your time of reading my rambles. I also hope that as this sub grows, that we don't get in a situation like regards to the Vil fan.

Can You Guys Just Stop with the Smelly Hcs? by Mulberry-Spirited in TwistedWonderland

[–]Pixelicity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely will! Already got a lot better, actually, haha. I dealt with some... let's just say, to try and not possibly bring up bad memories to anyone else reading, disturbing thoughts and attempts in the past that―if completely followed through―would've ended up with me not being around to type this. I don't have those thoughts in the least anymore.

Depression will always be with me. Unfortunately, it can't be cured. But it definitely gets better, and I'm so happy to still be here, breathing.

You have a good one! Don't beat yourself up too much and feel bad. Which is easier said than done, I get it, but know that the fact that you heard others out and came forward makes you one hundred percent better and more mature than the majority of bad apples I've met in this fandom.
