This Is Annoying - Tumblr Posts
Fuck, I got introduced to a series that isn't fished and now I have to wait who knows how long
Curse you Perry the platypus Jo
Imagine messing up that badly
Look just say there is no new news for Andor s2, or don't talk about it at all. Don't have your intern who badly read a Wikipedia summary about the first season say all the things we already know, and screw up several stuff.
They better not be screwing up this original work of art to make it more like that garbage. Part of what makes Andor so special is how different it is. Not too mention, those shows had terrible action, you're telling me Andor's more realistic and deeply felt fights will be replaced with crappy choreography and meaninglessness?
Of course not, right, this person's just talking about random shit with no idea of what the show is even like.
HE WAS VERY PROMINENTLY IN THE FIRST SEASON! YOU DIDN'T WHEN READ THE SUMMARIZATION PROPERLY! WHO ARE YOU AND WHY AREN'T YOU FIRED?
My Brother!
He's trying to convince me that you if you take a wheel of cheese, dress it up with decorations and frosting, and it'll be cheese cake(cause as he says cake has four qualifications, round, dairy, frosting, decoration)
He's also saying that if add enough melted cheese to shells and cheese, it'll be a soup(it's a pasta??)
I don't get this guy
Every year English teachers swear they aren't going to teach us how to write an essay like we're ten year olds, ever year they swear it's just a few reminders, and then it's all this
I don't need a bunch of bullshit anagrams
I don't need a five step multi week outing process
I need you to let me write my paper, because it's going to be an amazing paper, you just need to leave me alone
Let's not forget the outlining steps are graded for some nonsense reasons, so I've got to make up a bunch of bullshit to put in their little boxes while also writing my actual paper, which can't be contained in you stupid writing steps
Readers on tiktok and Instagram have apparently never witnessed (and also can't imagine):
A deep and gutteral sound(grow)
A devilish smile(smirk)
A titled head(cocked)
Someone from their eyes in frustration??
And a lot of others but I accidently lost the post I'm pulling these real examples from
I think the biggest issue is that the people making these comments just immensely lack imagination. I've hardly seen anyone smirk, but even as a kid I understood what it meant for a character to be smirking, it's a clearly defined word used in a self explanatory concept, there's no reason people can't get what it means and are so thrown off by it, and yet it happens
You've probably never felt the pull of g forces, will you find your disbelief broken if you read a book about fighter jets?
You probably don't have a secret handshake, will you find the characters to be stereotypical if they do?
Do you cringe when people use words you've never used and behave in ways you've never believed??
It just drives me nuts people who read books, from a young age, and reportedly love books, struggle so much that children grasp once they have the words explained
HONESTLY
I have photosensitive epilepsy, and coming from personal, terrifying experience, it's an awful way to live.
I love Across the Spiderverse and Stranger Things. I enjoy rock and metal music and concerts, but these are things I, and many others, must either avoid or enjoy with EXTREME caution.
I get it, flashing lights can make an atmosphere more lively in a movie, or it can make a scene feel so tense and threatening in a show, but it really isn't necessary for someone to put into their blog. Really.
Photosensitive epileptics can't just walk the tightrope of life with caution, we risk our lives just turning on the TV, or in some cases, our phones.
For fucks sake, do better.
do people who disregard photosensitivity realize that seizures can fucking kill or do they just not care. do people not realize that their "aesthetic" "cool" flashing lights that happen without SUFFICIENT warning... are fucking capable of killing people. i dont even care if i sound pissy right now because i am pissy, im sick of feeling like myself and others with epilepsy arent even afforded the right to be an afterthought to most people. im not even photosensitive but ffs this shit makes me so angry.
seizures themselves can be deadly if they go on too long, theyre essentially electrical overloads in the brain, you know, that organ that controls the entire rest of the body? and seizures can result in injuries or death from falls. from choking on our own vomit. from drowning in our own bathtubs, if we think we might be safe to bathe and then get proven wrong. maybe someone just wanted to watch a video or movie while they took a spa day.
did you know that epileptics are more likely to die younger than those without epilepsy, with all those risks and more? and have you heard of SUDEP? sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, death without a known cause, a rare but very real possibility for us. it kills approximately 1 in 1000 epileptics a year, if not more since it may not be accurately tracked. thats thousands of us dead a year. we do not need you to add to our death rates.
"all these things are known risks, epileptics just have to be more careful-" epileptic people should not have to be on constant fucking high alert. how about instead, people just learn to give a shit about life threatening disabilities? it takes so little effort to just offer a CLEAR and VERY OBVIOUS warning AHEAD OF TIME, for a SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME, before your stupid flashing lights. or just dont add them at all. are they necessary? are they really necessary? would you really fucking rather photosensitive epileptics have to be constantly on guard, IMPOSSIBLY on guard, rather than you just considering their safety? nobody can anticipate every instance of unexpected flashing lights they might come across. but you, creators, are able to provide warnings, and if for any reason you arent, then hire someone else to edit the warnings in or just get rid of the fucking lights altogether.
again, my epilepsy is not photosensitive, but i will never stop being protective of my photosensitive siblings. my own life is scary enough with the form of epilepsy i have, i cannot imagine how terrifying it must be to have to maneuver through the world with photosensitivity, and i dont want careless assholes to go killing my fucking community because you dont give enough of a shit to worry epileptic people. i am pissed off and emotionally exhausted and the shit with elon musk having a flashing gif on his twitter account was the straw that broke my back today so youre getting a pissed off PSA. everyone better start doing a whole damn lot better.

people without epilepsy are encouraged to reblog but know that i am already angry and will not tolerate bullshit on this post. give a fuck about other peoples lives and safety or im blocking you.
why did my brain come up with the best plot ideas in the universe only to forget them when this like really sudden wave of exhaustion came over me
