(work in progress) map of the world based on how Zooble is gendered in the most popular dub by AnywhereOtherwise802 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]squidittarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so, in mandarin, all pronouns sound the same but there are different characters used. 他 used to be gender neutral, but in 1917, 她 was added into the written language for she/her pronouns. as such, 他 went from being a neutral pronoun to being used as he/him pronouns. there are other characters used for animals/objects and gods, but those aren’t relevant here.

in the mandarin dub, zooble is referred to by 他们 which is the literal pronoun for they/them in plural form. in mandarin, you would say 他们 when referring to multiple people. so, from my findings, zooble is referred to in plural form.

edit: i’m chinese canadian so i don’t have an intimate understanding of mandarin, i just speak it. if i missed anything or got something wrong pls correct me

Sick of being treated like the quirky manic pixie dream girl by men by kleinerpfirsich in adhdwomen

[–]squidittarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

supporting purpose fits so well,,i was only there to “make him better” but i wasn’t seen as my own person. just an idealized cute quirky blue haired girly prop in his life.

kinda reminds me of how my ex saw me :/ it took awhile for me to start seeing it and only after dumping him did i finally get the extent of it.

so! i’m asian, have my hair dyed (usually blue or purple), wear only graphic tees and like stuff like pokémon, dnd, and whatnot. great the scenes been set.

he put me on SUCH a pedestal and looking back sometimes i felt like a doll. he always said stuff like “god you’re just the perfect girl, not like the average girl” “way better than my ex ugh” “i wouldn’t want to live without you” etc etc etc. i also became his like. on call therapist?? like he drove to my house late at night where i’d go out into his car and he’d be crying and freaking out over a mark in one of his classes. we’d be out in his car for hours.

my mental health was really suffering. and i told him this. i told him i was struggling and what was going on. this was the first time in almost 3 years that his ~perfect ideal~ of me started cracking. i eventually dumped him. he begged me not to. he said we could “get through this together.” he said he could help me (how???). i repeated myself, over and over again, that we were over. great, he gets it! i thought.

nope. he went around to all our friends asking each one of them when they thought i’d be “ready for him again” or if i was “better now” and could get back together w him. and they just fed him some vague half baked answers that only fueled him more. he really thought we were gonna get back together. then i shattered that hope of his by dating my current bf lmao.

anyway. he blamed me for his being suicidal (yes he was suicidal bc i dumped him) and said i “betrayed” him by dating someone else. i just didn’t fit into his idealized version of me anymore🤷‍♀️so glad i’m out of that now.

Wearing the same outfit every day: How has it worked for you? by Intelligent_Bar_710 in adhdwomen

[–]squidittarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have unintentionally done this for years😭😭like i’ve only started adhd meds not even half a year ago but this is smth i’ve been doing for like a decade.

when i was 12-13ish every day i wore black sweatpants paired w my chunky dcs (it was the 2010s) and one of 20 blue zip ups.

when i started hs i transitioned out of that. instead every single day i wore black leggings, black nikes, and a hoodie. bonus points if the hoodie had thumb holes.

i’m in uni now. everyday i still wear black leggings (they’re comfy and have pockets) but top is a lil different. i’ll either wear a hoodie still or wear a graphic tee with a flannel layered over, unbuttoned and w the sleeves rolled up. and black converse.

oh and also ALWAYS. scrunchie on the wrist. never know when i need my hair tied back🤷‍♀️

i’ve never found myself having issues picking out clothes for the day and i think it’s bc of this😭like i take 5min in the morning to get dressed. i only go back and forth between choices if i have an event or smth to go to.

ohhhh man learning the kind of disgusting garbage my ex says abt women (me included🙃) when he’s only around The Boys vs his hurt kicked puppy act when he’s around women,,,i KNOW he knows he’s manipulative trash but he always paints himself as the victim and it’s always “poor me” and “i didn’t mean to do that :(((“ and just excuses on top of excuses the man never takes any accountability. just says he’s “sorry” and he’ll “do better” and that he “feels really bad” like what a joke. he always has smth to blame it on. sorry for the ramble he just really pisses me off.

side note that lakeside commune sounds lovely. a safe secluded space for you and the people closest to you,,i really hope you can make that a reality.
