It’s hilarious how people love these tropes yet when a person exhibits these behaviours no one wants to befriend / love them. I’ve always struggled with friendships and hadn’t experienced a relationship. I hate how my existence is fetishised because I have autism too. I hate how men perceive women sometimes, it’s so shallow. Yes, male loneliness exist, but along with lonely men comes with female loneliness.
nepotism has a range, a child getting a job at the family business is not the same as an executive getting their kid a job in the mail room, which is not the same as a ceo giving an entire branch of the company to their brother, which is not the same as a president making their sibling the head of the military.
There's a difference between normalizing mental health issues and romanticizing them. I'm so glad that we're moving to not shame people for having mental health struggles or not being neurotypical or whatever. but the problem is if we romanticize disorders no one will ever get healed. people used to avoid help because it was shameful to need to go to a therapist. now people don't want to get better because they make their issues part of their identity. I've fallen into this trap as well several times. I can't just stop having adhd one day, and I'm always going to have it. but that doesn't mean I make the adhd an important part of how I identify with others. I'm more than my disorder, and I refuse to let it take control of my life. There is something endearing about adhd to some people (including myself). I get distracted a lot which can lead to a good joke. I often hyperfixate on things that live rent free in my head, and which I annoy others about endlessly. if they share such interests, it's pretty neat. and ofc there's the relatability factor, which really draws people in. the way I think and speak is different from a neurotypical person and is probably interesting to those it doesn't annoy. I often throw a lot of random words together when I can't think of the right ones, I mistakenly say a lot of really dumb stuff on accident, etc. (idk if this is due to adhd or smth else? whatever it is I really struggle with verbal communication). I freaked my coworker out because I randomly said "I like owls" and she couldn't see how there was any context to that (made sense in my head). But whatever it is that's fun and endearing is a very small slice on my pie graph of neurodivergencey. I'm sure there's something cute about my frequent rants about video games and stuff to my boyfriend, but that's discounting the fact that I'm constantly interrupting him when he's trying to talk. I become very consumed in what I'm saying. and that's really the tip of the iceberg. I'm often late to places because of time blindness (class, work, meeting friends, dates, important stuff, etc.). and that's not fun and quirky like it may seem. that can really hurt my success in school or work or hurt my relationships with people. it makes me come off as really lazy (when I'm not trying to be). And it's not something I should use as an excuse. I need to focus on finding coping strategies for that, like scheduling myself to leave much earlier than needed so that if I accidently lose like 20 minutes into the void, I'll still make it on time. I struggle to take care of myself a lot due to time blindness as well. I forget meals, forget to shower, stay up too late because I lose track of time, etc. assignments are left undone, people are left untexted, and I wasted a whole day doing stuff I don't even really remember doing. I'm constantly wasting so much of my time because I cannot get myself on task. my mental health is affected by this as well, ironically enough. if I'm not taking care of myself physically, I'm going to feel worse mentally as a rule (your mind is connected to your body, you know?). AND I won't have time to take care of myself mentally either. everything is just crazy and I feel completely out of control. It seems to be that adhd is caused by problems releasing dopamine in the brain. it is because of this (I believe, I'm just a senior in college majoring in biology) that people with adhd are more prone to addiction. this could be addiction to a substance or just addiction to the internet (haha, that's me). the brain with adhd seeks the instant gratification I'd say even more than the neurotypical brain. addiction is nasty. I feel like it's also romanticized as well, which is disgusting. I mean, look at all those ads saying "omg this game is so addictive, you should get it!" Not only are they not hiding it, they're advertising it *as if it's a good thing!* Like wtf? My internet addiction has absolutely ruined me. It's hard for me to be away from it, and when I am I'm unable to focus (it's even more difficult than it was when I was a kid, which is odd don't you think?). Phone addiction is very common and is "haha, lmao, relatable." But like, I really should not be spending 11 hours on my phone. that's not okay. I'm not doing my homework, I'm not working, I'm isolating myself from the people who actually give an f, and I am just rotting my brain. it's terrible. In this society we love to diagnose disorders. "I think I might be autistic" "Oh cool, you should get diagnosed!" okay, yeah, and then what? The diagnosis shouldn't be the end of the journey, *but the beginning of the journy.* I can't magically cure my adhd but I can learn better habits to prevent myself from giving into my urges ever time. I can develop ways to stay on task and get things done. but nobody cares about getting better. being mentally ill is so much cooler. why did I spend so much time writing this? no one is gonna read it T_T
Could you do a video on the whole "copyright panic" you mentioned? I only have surface level knowledge of this but I'd imagine many people didn't know anything about it. I have no idea what content has been lost to the removals, only that it happened. What games were lost? What hololive moments/memeable content could there have been? Effects of the removals on the talents and how it all/partially came back, what was learned, etc. Would make for an interesting video methinks.
I think my introduction to Fubuki was an extensive clip that covered most of her silent stream where she dug a large hole down to bedrock in Minecraft... The best way I can describe it as is "an experience". To this day I have no idea how I sat through the whole thing, but I did. It was weirdly mesmerizing how she spun deeper and deeper into insanity the deeper the hole got. With BGM shenanigans, model assets, positioning, color filters, and much more... And she sat through all of it with a straight face.
in a way fukuki was the logistic guy and the moral compas of the company for a long time, she was the perfect example for not only talents to follow if not staff members too.
I was so excited for the nation man like the hype was unreal for inazuma but it somehow managed to suck all my excitement in like 2 hours I didn’t feel the slightest sense of satisfaction the story was too sloppy and full of plot holes. Even after 2 years they’re still trying fill in those plot holes made in the archon quest through events and story quests. The only thing at least a bit close to fixing Ei as a character was her second SQ but she still holds the title of the most lack of personality boring archon we received so far. Like she literally fought the physical embodiment of her past trauma for 500 years for a change after causing the death of thousands in inazuma and giving war trauma to multiple generations and we didn’t even get any mention of it outside of her saying that its been 500 years inside the euthymia. Like it went nowhere they said she fought for 500 years inside there and poof she faced consequences Also the scaramouche situation, she left that puppet which she made and viewed her as his mother all alone not even considering the fact that he basically had toddler level critical thinking and human world is too complex for him. Gave him a feather as an identification symbol but then locked herself inside the euthymia taking the only person he could forever rely on away from him. Ei is so fucked up as a character and her nation is one the most sloppily written thing in this game
