> omg please what’s going on in the Knitting Fandom

I’m a bit out of the loop so I don’t know about any current dramz but a few years ago there was a spate of incidents that usually followed the same pattern:

  • person starts dyeing yarn and finds they’re pretty good! yay!
  • they don’t have the capital to invest in materials so they get people to order yarn and take cash up front
  • then they get a bill they have to pay or find they under-estimated the cost of materials, or forgot they’d have to upsize their equipment to make more of the stuff, so they solicit more orders
  • meanwhile, people who’ve handed over their cash are ‘uh. excuse me? you’re taking orders and not doing mine?’
  • this stresses the dyer out and they start making excuses; I’m sick, I’m getting divorced, I’m whatever
  • this buys them a bit of time but they’re still not sending their finished product so people are getting annoyed
  • suddenly their sibling/husband/mother pipes up to say 'she can’t fulfil these orders, she’s sick, you’re all awful for bullying her, leave her alone’
  • this buys a little more time until someone inevitably points out how similarly the sibling/husband/mother types to the original dyer and accuses them of faking
  • at this point it’s still salvageable if the dyer is willing to say 'sorry guys I done fucked up I’ll refund and withdraw from the internet’ but at least twice it ended in the sibling/husband/mother saying 'she’s dead now are you happy? you did this’.
  • and then people start hunting local newspapers for obituaries and it gets really nasty

and so you know I’m not making things up, the most famous one is referenced here: https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/xyg8p4/faking-your-death-online-is-a-lot-harder-than-it-used-to-be

moral of the story: don’t start a kitchen-table business unless you’re prepared to fake your own death unless you’ve made a full business plan and are certain you can follow through

Your mixed feelings about your parents are valid.

Shout out to people like me who have parents who are loving but are black holes of emotional labor… It took me a long time to realize that it’s okay to have mixed feelings about your parents, about your relationship with them.

Sometimes parents can love you but be somewhat toxic to you and your growth, and that’s a very hard realization to come to if you, like me, grew up extremely close to them.

Sometimes parents can love you genuinely but lack emotional maturity, forcing you to perform disproportionate amounts of emotional labor. Some parents manifest symptoms of their mental illness in ways that are toxic to your mental illness.

Some parents, like mine, try so hard to be good parents but fall back on habits of emotional manipulation because they haven’t processed their own traumas and are modeling behavior they grew up with. That doesn’t make their behavior acceptable, and it’s okay to feel exhausted and hurt when they betray you. You don’t have to forgive every mistake.

I want you to know that it’s okay to protect yourself, to need some space apart from them. The love you have for your parents is still valid, and you are making the right decision.

Placing a safe emotional distance between myself and my parents has been one of the most difficult, heartbreaking processes I’ve ever gone through… it hurts to try to curb the strength of your own natural empathy around people you love. It feels disingenuous to your heart’s natural state.

But I promise you, you are not hard-hearted or ungrateful, and you are not abandoning them. You are making a decision about your own emotional, mental, and spiritual health.

I know what it’s like in that confusing grey area of love mixed with guilt and anxiety, of exhaustion and quasi-manipulation and unreciprocated emotional labor, and I promise you, you are not alone.

Your mixed feelings about your parents are valid.

Where has this post been all my life?

Shout out to everyone who is going through this too! The holidays can make it even harder and more stressful so be strong!

Yes Thank you for saying this

wow god forbid kids have fun on the internet with games they like

I just read that article though and it’s actually positive. Here’s a quote:

  • Riffing on the term “fursona,” referring to a personalized animal avatar, fans are calling their creations “cupsonas.” Some characters are teacups, others are frothing cappuccinos, and more than a few are tipsy. It’s a silly way to experiment with Cuphead’s character designs with some adorable results.

Then they have pics of some people’s cupsonas with links back to their Tumblr blogs, and the article ends with the author saying “I won’t lie. I want one too.”

it feels so refreshing to see an online news article discussing a particular aspect of fandom culture in a positive, wholesome matter. you just don’t see that every day. this is truly a blessed post

Mark Wahlberg Imagine

Filming a movie with Mark was fun on set and off. Ever since you and him met in the Audition process you’ve been very close. Sometimes maybe a bit to close, for people to see. 

As filming went on you would catch moments where Mark would hold on to you when the scene was over, hug you and not let you go. Sometimes he would act as if you were actually his girlfriend. At the start you just thought he was that friendly but soon you felt it was more then that, but you were more then okay with that.

“Okay guys, ready for the scene?” the director asked you and Mark. 

“Oh I am. This one’s gonna be great.” Mark said coming closer to you and placing his hand on your hip. “You ready wifey?” Mark ask looking at you with shining eyes. For a moment you got lost in them. Nether of you said anything just looked at each other.

“I guess we’re all ready” the director said and walked out of the frame leaving you and Mark looking at each other. Action was yelled out and you and Mark got into the scene. Everything was going well, your characters were at the kitchen cooking and being a couple. But then things turned a bit.

By the scrip Mark was supposed to kiss you. It was supposed to be a sweet 3 second kiss, but nether of you stopped. Both of you got into the kiss forgetting people were around you. Mark pulled you closer to him, holding you tight. A kiss turned into a make out session. Mark lifted you up and placed you on the countertop, you could tell he was about to put his hands under your shirt when you realized what actually was going on. You pulled away and looked at him and saw it in his eyes how Mark also understood what had just happened and that you were not alone.

“That was something” the director said as you and Mark had turned to them. Everyone watched you with opened mouths. “I like that better then what we planned.” he started talking to one of the assistants. You looked back at Mark who was smiling big.

“That was…amazing” he said making you blush. It was amazing. Mark helped you off the countertop, still smiling at each other. There was no doubt that would happen again.
