I Looooove Characters Who Are Sacrificial Lamb Coded. Characters Who Have Never Lived For Themselves.

i looooove characters who are sacrificial lamb coded. characters who have never lived for themselves. characters born to be a tool, a weapon, a sacrifice, all of the above. a character raised by the heroes to save the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. a character raised by the villains to end the world, at any expense, even their own health, even their own life. characters who are denied personhood so they can be used as tools instead. characters who never even had a chance to be people because they were shaped into something else from the moment they were born. characters who were born to die.

y'all ever reach the end of google

If there's one specific distinct thing that I do that pissess off a very specific type of people to no end, it's my insistence on distinguishing between short term discomfort and long term damage. These are two completely different things for me, and if someone tells me "don't do that, it's bad for you", I need to know which one it is so I can respond accordingly.

I do not give a shit about short term discomfort. If the negative effect of something is only temporary, I'd rather endure the consequences of my action than waste my sparse brain cells in efforts to avoid it. I have a high pain tolerance and if something is only going to be temporary and inconvenient, I can handle it just fine without complaining of the consequences of my actions.

But I do care about long term damage. Unlike temporary inconvenience, small damage that gradually builds up over time and only gets progressively worse is a serious consequence that is worth the effort to avoid. And to someone who does not make this kind of distinctions, my way of sorting things into "super important, must be followed with absolute commitment" and "I cannot verbally express how little I give a shit about this" seems infuriatingly arbitrary. And once this type of people figure out why I want to know why I'm not supposed to do something, they'll refuse to tell me because they hate it when I contemplate the answer and elect to ignore it.

For example, I do not give a shit about sunburn, but I do give a shit about skin cancer. If the only consequence of being unprotected in the sun was my skin peeling off sometimes, I don't think I'd bother with sun screen. But because the sun damage accumulates and builds up over time into long term damage, I do not play stupid with sunscreen. The same with everything else.

I currently have a thin layer of superglue covering the tips of several of my fingers because "don't get superglue on your fingers" is a temporary inconvenience. It'll wear off eventually.

ATTENTION AT ALL PEOPLE WHO ARE STARTING TO POST CREATIVE STUFF HERE!

i'm going to make this an actual post because reblogs don't show up on the tag, so hey, q refugees! someone reached out to me and told me about something even i didn't know, but that is a danger to a lot of you migrating.

apparently, a lot of people don't know about this from quotev, so here's something to be made clear:

TUMBLR USES YOU'RE ARTWORK / WRITING / ETC TO TRAIN AI MODELS. YOU HAVE TO "OPT" OUT OF IT

please reblog and make sure that people find out about this- this is new to a lot of people who are coming here from quotev in hopes of having a platform to show their art, etc. even people who don't post art or writing, it's still feeding off you- so it's always best to opt out.

you also have to do this with EVERY blog. more information can be found on the link below, aka the main post.

wondering how to opt out of it? look at the official staff post on the topic. it has instructions and the new policies.

stay safe loves, and don't let tumblr sell you're work to ai's <33.

ok you know what? gwen assuming sam did something fucked up in order to consider joining the OIAR has got to be projection. she snaps back when he asks her why she joined and I just have to believe the reasons for each one of them joining aren't too savory. also, gwen doesn't want to talk about why she joins but she wants to climb the ladder? she Definitely is looking for something and that is Not a job. honestly maybe the non-puppeted by jonah version of elias bouchard might have burned down at the institute? might be a thing there???

has anyone else noticed picrew has just like …. blatant ai generators now ?

like not everything but i found a few of the randomizer ones that are very obviously just using a prompt into an ai image generator …. wtf
