like I could coach them on what to do in different situations, show them how to find things in the system, how to ask for help, etc but I could not fix their attitude and that was the #1 thing that got ppl bounced out of there. if you think you know everything then why tf we both wasting our time

I can’t stand a bitch who dont wanna learn shit lmao I used to go on rants about this as a trainer at work during the “yes, you have to pass training and even then you got a year-long on the job interview called probation” talk. “I can give you everything you need to succeed here BUT an open mind”

“incuriosity is a character flaw” has to be the most Gemini shit I have ever said ngl

they love slop bots because using them requires nothing from them. not time, not effort, not vulnerability, not the fear of falling down. and bc they’re so fucking incurious they don’t care about the personal growth that comes from this process bc all they want is the end result. praise/validation.

like when I talk about being “dumb” in this context I’m not talking about ppl genuinely not knowing things bc that’s not remotely a character flaw. but incuriosity IS and that’s what I mean here. mfers who don’t even want to try and learn shit bc it’s hard and they might need to fail a lot to do it.

same mfers who talk “work smarter not harder” shit and copy people’s answers for the tests, coast on group projects letting everyone else do the actual work. ever since people been on this earth there’s been ones taking “cheap” easy and unethical shortcuts to end results bc they lack any motivation

every page is like it shook old and deep trauma out of me like I need for you guys to read it. it is written by a therapist with adhd and is not about complex systems but helping us break down why we struggle w things and how to reframe how we think so thatcher v gentle and simple approach works

did you ever casually stumble across a book that speaks to you on such a fundamental level that you had to instantly buy it bc “how to keep house while drowning” by kc davis made my soul explode actually
remember that because care tasks are morally neutral, mess has no inherent meaning. When you look at the pile of dishes in the sink and think, "I'm such a failure," that message did not originate from the dishes. Dishes don't think. Dishes don't judge. Dishes cannot make meaning-only people can.
In fact, the meaning assigned to a care task was probably given to you by someone else. Take a moment to think about who it may have been. Your mother? Father?
Partner? A grandparent? What messages were you given about domestic care tasks and the meaning behind them? Where did those ideas trickle down from?
I recently saw someone write on social media, "My grandmother used to say to me, we may be poor but we will be clean. And she would scrub that tiny house until it shone." I'm learning that when marginalized communities face racism or classism, high standards for cleanliness can be a way for a family to reassert their own dignity in the face of dehumanizing stereotypes aboutbeing lazy, unintelligent, or dirty. Loving families might insist that their home sparkle or their children's clothes be spotless, not out of a perceived superiority, but as a way of protecting against discrimination.
There may be other complex and contextual reasons why your family or community gave you the messages they did about care tasks. You may need time to con-sider, to honor, to grieve, and to process the origins of such messages. In the end, you may decide those messages do not serve you anymore and give mess a new meaning.
Begin to notice how you speak to yourself on days when you feel you have fallen behind. You can set up the best systems in the world and they won't change your life if you still hate yourself on days when you can't keep up. So much of our distress comes not from the unfolded laundry but from the messages we give ourselves. Lazy.
Predictable. Unlovable. You do not need to be good at care tasks to learn how to develop a compassionate inner dialogue. You deserve kindness and love regardless of how good you are at care tasks.

the padding is truly absurd. I get that they want to have fanfests in different countries to give more people the chance to attend and that’s very cool of them but spreading out crumbs is very tiring

remember my terrible horrible no good very bad Epcot morning on Labor Day when this happened? out of nowhere the other day I got an email talking about they’re mailing me my lost item. surely it’s not that damn magic band and the irreplaceable AP slider. look what was in my mailbox today. 😭💜

even buying new colors in the long run I’ve spent far less than when I was buying cheap junk over and over. some brands you are just paying for a name (tumi, imo!) but I rather pay a bit more upfront for quality bc it lasts. same w kitchenware. I LOVE my breville stuff. total workhorses, 0 issues.

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 12/10/2026
like i just got tired of buying cheap junk that breaks and i had to keep replacing and that’s where I was at w luggage. always getting whatever cheap bs was on sale at century 21 (RIP), it broke in 1-2 years, repeat. I decided to invest in better bags right as away first came out. best decision tbh

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 12/10/2026
people say it doesn’t pay to spend a lot of money on checked bags in particular bc they get abused so much by handlers but I’ve had my medium since 2019? and it’s survived without a single ding this whole time. the carryons are perfection too. no issues at all. I just got a 2 for the improvements

Adding: this snark is never for audience benefit. If someone thinks the sci-fi is too weird or the horror is too discomforting, they can make their own jokes. Art doing that itself is to prevent others' jokes. The artist says "I'LL laugh so YOU can't make fun of me." And it's so spineless.

while reticent to ask for help regarding my own medical expenses, an emergency vet visit has strained us immeasurably. we still don’t know the outcome, only the price. if you enjoy my work, rem is the soul who keeps me sane enough to make it. anything helps. thank you. ko-fi.com/sabattons

when ppl ask for suggestions for their trip but don’t tell you anything about what their budget or goals or preferences or travel style are it’s very irritating. I think these are the same ppl who wait until they get to the counter at the food spot and have to order to look at the menu

yeah I also feel like arguing over who’s the most important in a clear ensemble cast wouldn’t happen as much

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 09/10/2026
we could tit for tat abt this bc way before that happened him getting possessed was equally important and none of them would have even made it into the tunnels for her to do that had “yda” and paps not covered them but this is why I think this is a weird and silly argument. it’s an ensemble cast

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 09/10/2026
btw this is one reason I suggest doing all of them at some point, at least up to the part where the MSQ paths “merge”. there’s a lot of subtle things abt them in those starter quests that are easily missed
1110
Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 09/10/2026
smt I wonder if ppl realize how you view various scions is highly influenced by your starter city bc doing limsa vs ul’dah will have you thinking opposite things abt shtola vs than’s story relevance and you could be forgiven for forgetting papalymo even existed if you didn’t do gridania

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 09/10/2026
I think that last part is the important part bc if you don’t go Limsa route (and I didn’t) then you can make this same exact statement about her 😭 idg arguing abt npcs to begin with tho bc your WoL is the main character

saw the new restoration of Queen’s Budapest concert film after work tonight and even in LieMax (bc fuck that lame cultist’s flop ass movie wasting Lincoln Square’s screen) it was fucking incredible. One of the best restoration jobs I’ve seen and with as much care given to the audio as the video.

when ppl literally bulled and abused you under the guise of “it’s just role playing”, did everything they could to undermine you in the group, felt threatened when your oc got more attention so sabotaged “ic” etc then maybe yall can understand my aversion. but you don’t have to worry abt my lame rp🤷🏾‍♀️

Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 07/10/2026
even as someone who loudly repeatedly says I don’t RP or write with other people an ex-foaf decided to tell me totally unprompted, and at length, exactly how much their OC would hate Gisèle and why they would be her mortal enemy. this was solely prompted by a voice chat discussion on her story. lmao
1110
Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 07/10/2026
anyway that’s why I have zero interest in RP and why increasingly I don’t feel like there’s any point to my being here. I’m honestly very tired of having to say “but when you’re a BW writing a BW” every time someone makes some broad brush statement about something they don’t like
090
Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 07/10/2026
maybe if I weren’t a BW playing a BW character I’d feel the same way but since I’m not I had to deal with constant racial microaggressions and outright misogynoir from ppl hiding behind “this is just how my character is” and acting like I was the problem for objecting to it 🤷🏾‍♀️
1120
Aurora of the Vast Oceans @kylenne.etheirys.social · 07/10/2026
every time my oomfs that RP complain about people not liking or wanting friction in their interactions, or a lot of different RP situations, I feel like jumping in and yelling “it’s different as a BW playing a BW character” bc ppl that know ic/ooc bleed exists w shipping don’t seem to abt being Mean
