i was gonna rant about how much i’m a dumbass but i was scrolling through wattpad and why is everything straight trash. there’s so much over sexualization, misrepresentation, downright disgusting material, and things that are obviously genAI. yes there are some gems and a handful of seriously amazing and amazingly cool authors and people that i have somehow built some kind of a relationship with, but the overwhelming majority of it is just trash. wattpad has built a social media fucking porno site, not a site where people can write and read. yes, that is technically the main function. but the comments, the “social feed,” it’s just so buns dude. i probably won’t delete this account and will stay relatively active in writing, but don’t count on me continuing to show up in comments and all that jazz. i’ll try to keep reading on here, and will probably maintain some kind of presence, but this site is just so so bad dude.

@LazyCat158 I honestly just saw this now, but I 1000% agree. Admittedly I was pretty late to AO3, only joining around 5 years ago, but it’s been a far better platform to write on, and engaging with readers feels beneficial because they genuinely offer constructive feedback or just leave super sweet comments!

tw depressing ahh rant LMAO 
          
          
          
          
          i love parts of my dad and i’m so so SO grateful that we as a family are at a place where my dad can go out to places and i am even more grateful that he thinks of us enough to bring us back stuff, but i can’t help but getting frustrated at this stupid suburban prison that i can’t leave but every couple of weeks my dad is just on another flight to who knows where and the fact that when my dad does bring us home a t shirt or something and i ask for parachute size he still gets me something i can wear in public without an ounce of shame. and there’s nothing inherently wrong with that if i was built like a pencil but im not so when my dad gets me shirts that i want to be big on me but they’re big on my older sister and i can still feel the entire strap wrap around my thighs and my stupid fat butt and how when i put on a t shirt it doesn’t fall off my chest but instead hugs my stupid fat boobs and my stupid fat arms and i hate the fact that when my dad doesn’t understand that he doesn’t see an issue and i keep asking for the dumb parachutes and he keeps bringing me shirts i can see myself in i hate the fact that that makes me hate myself and i hate the fact that im sitting here crying my eyes out ranting to my friends on fucking wattpad of all things about stupid little t shirts and dreams of dumb little parachutes and i hate how no one is going to look at this and i hate how selfish that makes me feel and i hate how much my stupid fucking boobs don’t ever fit in my stupid fucking bras right and how the last time i went bra shopping was never because my dumb mom left me and even while she was here she didn’t care about girls she cared about how to not piss off my dad and i hate how i still love my dad and hate my mom and i hate how i still miss my mom despite the fact that it’s already been two years HOLY SHIT GET OVER IT and i hate how much i pretend to be fine about my mom and my dad and my stupid fucking parachute shirts

KindOfAFailure

@accioavacadoxx Yeah, I guess so. Thank you for that validation, genuinely. Sometimes I need to learn that it’s okay to cry and vent and just feel. This helps.
            
            And it’s nice to know that, even with time, it does get better. I do try my hardest to be physically healthy, but it does get hard to not just want to look different. I appreciate the reassurance:)
            
            Despite being a “random stranger on the internet,” you still really did help me. It means a lot to hear that, and if you ever need something similar back, give me a call(?)
            
            Also, I might delete this conversation in a couple days, maybe. Just, don’t be surprised if it’s gone, i guess.

@KindOfAFailure of course! <3  Your body is coping in the way it knows best. It’s healthy to cry. Your brain is releasing oxytocin and endorphins to self-soothe and relieve stress, so never let anyone tell you that your reaction to feeling hurt or stressed is invalid. And I understand about the whole body image thing. It takes time, sometimes a lot of it. After 10 years of trying to fit into someone else’s ideals about what a “perfect body” is suppose to look like, I’ve only just gotten to a point where I’ve started liking myself and my physique. I don’t know if you workout or walk/run, but always prioritise long term health benefits over temporary aesthetic’s. That was one of my biggest issues.
            
            I know I’m just a random stranger on the internet, but I’m always happy to hear anyone out or help when and if I can.

@accioavacadoxx Thank you, so so much. It means wonders, not only knowing that people are going through similar things as me, but also the fact that you wanted to share it. And I’ll try to remember that, I swear. People are unique and beautiful regardless, but sometimes it gets hard to see the difference between feeling uncomfortable and hating how I look. So, thank you for that. And I do appreciate the validation of my feelings, I didn’t realize how important that was to me. Thank you for saying that about my mom and I am so sorry that happened to you.

you know when you walk in a room and it *smells too warm* 
          like it isn’t even warm but the air feels like it
          or when you touch something and it is *way too fuzzy* and you can’t take it and it’s just AGH
          
          im soooooo neurotypical guys

@LazyCat158 oh i don’t think we’re feeling the same thing  that does sound helpful tho so maybe!!

@KindOfAFailure Tried opening windows?idk how to explain but like heat make thing feel that fuzzy feeling sometimes, but widows let room ventilate so even tho heat may still be there a bit the fuzzy dies down (idk if this is right but it goes by my logic)
