MAYBE I SHOULD JUST START CALLING MYSELF A PSYCHIC

There are times when I really don’t like being so excellent at judging people’s character, because most folks are not, and rocking the boat makes them mad at me. Assholes and villains will always show their true nature, but by the time they do it’s usually been a long slog through a drama-bog and for what? To end up with everyone on the same page as me, except they’re mad about it because I’m the one who started it all by saying “Wow this person is a real dick.”
“Oh but Luka, it’s still a useful talent because it keeps you away from the nutfucks!” I hear you say. Alas, no! Because I’m a goddamn idiot who goes directly to said nutfuck upon confirmation and tells him or her why they suck. Then I get called a bully and accused of making shit up, and only later does everyone see that my assessment wasn’t just accurate, it fell a wee bit on the conservative side of the true crazy.
And by then it would just be churlish as fuck to bring it up again, just to say “I told you so.”
Which is why I’m vagueblogging it instead >:D
Gosh, that would totally be churlish.

There’s nothing quite so sweet as freedom from that kind of person, believe me. (Though hindsight about not realizing sooner bites.)
I feel the same, and I always have to remind myself: it took as long as it needed to take, and if that was too long, well: there are many things far worse than being too eager to think the best of someone you care about.
Sort of an optimistic pessimism there…

Just remember Luka, for those of us who are willing to listen to you the first time, you are teaching us a valuable skill. And as someone who grew up kind of sheltered, I very much appreciate it.
Ahaha, thank you for yanking me out of my funk. I am so quick to forget that it’s not all about being right or wrong about a douchebag, but also about spreading douchebag awareness tips. I needed this reminder! <3
I was wondering if you're still accepting commissions?
I have two still in the queue and then yesss. absolutely! What do you have in mind?

I GOT TO GO TO THIS AND IT WAS AMAZING.
My birthday present to myself was to see her in concert. I’ve been a huge fan for the last… 10 years. Wow. But yeah. I love this woman and her music. She’s just amazing
She’s got a voice like the engine roar of the first car I ever owned, the one that let me drive away from my shitty apartment and my screeching parents and race through the woods with the stereo blasting songs about going out and becoming what we want to be.
In short, I envy your concert attendance :D

I AM TOO GROWN UP TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, I AM TOO GROWN UP TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, I AM TOO GROWN UP TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, I AM TOO GROWN UP TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO…
Curious, what do you think of Amy's apology and apparent change of heart on her tumblr?
Assuming it’s legitimately her blog: Boy have I seen that move before, it’s so standard.
- Sling bullshit until it stops flying
- Get mad that people are mad
- Throw a tantrum about not being believed/trusted
- Scream oppression
- Lose temper and say regrettable shit
- Cry “I’ve been hacked and impersonated” to undo #5
- Flop around on the floor wailing about unfairness
- When none of your deflections work and you sense your defeat is inevitable, pretend to see the light.
Fake humility is a cynical reset button for these types. They don’t feel empathy for the rest of us, they see others as lesser mortals to be exploited. But they certainly are aware that we have different emotions and have learned how to manipulate them.
By playing along and apologizing when they are not sorry, they aren’t expressing genuine remorse, they’re telling us the magic words that they’ve learned as children will make the conflict go away.
It might seem totally legit the first or even third time you see them do it, but be patient and observe. You’ll see right through the bullshit when things cool down and she starts doing the same ol’ shit all over again, proving she learned nothing.

its entertaining for a bit then boring because she has no creativity in her insults
and by most she just acts like a 15 year old girl with stability issues except she’s like 100
“LOL” YOUR LIFE IS NOT EVEN ENTERTAINING FOR A BIT. JUST FUCKING GOD AWFUL. I BET YOU LIVE ON FOODSTAMPS. OH MAN YOU HAVE 10 DOLLARS LEFT ON IT? BETTER STEAL SOME CORN FROM THAT FARM ACROSS THE STREET.
At least they didnt buy frozen corn and say that they made it…
Amy has no idea where food comes from. It’s no wonder she thinks frozen = homemade. She thinks corn farms are things across the street from people and accessible to the public, and not gigantic industrial compounds located in the middle of nowhere and kept under tight security. Most people get food from grocery stores, Amy. Even when they don’t pay for it.
Complete divorce from reality right there.
And I’m still sort of marveling that there are people who think “you’re on food stamps” is some kind of sick burn.
HAHAHA YOU ARE IN POVERTY, SO THERE! *goes to church, gives when the collection plate is passed*
I was having a reaaaaally hard time believing this is the actual woman
… until I clicked on the tumblr
and now my brain is boggled
(I tried watching her episode, but it was way too much having to feel all the embarrassment she should have been feeling with her actions, so I turned it off somewhere around when he complimented her cakes)
SPOILER: the cakes were a lie too! >:D

Slowly facepalm at the internet.
Nah, do it fast, get it over with. :)
bad advice, seebs. luka facepalmed fast at the ‘boner’ easter egg in homestuck and gave himself an epic nosebleed.
of course, that may just be because he is nature’s abulatory fountain and can erupt in a noseblood geyser at any time for no reason at all.
It was a half-pint of claret well spent, in my opinion.
You’re just jealous because I just have stigmatus septus. You might be blessed too if you’d say a pater nostril once in a while.
i might be doing some unfollows
jumpingjacktrash:
if you are strident about politics or blog/reblog angry/depressing articles, i may unfollow you sometime in the next few days. if i do that, i want you to know we’re still cool. i’m not judging you or dissing on your blogging habits or anything like that. hell, i probably agree with whatever point you’re making.
i just get really upset about these things and they take up way too much room in my head, and i’m coming to realize that trying to tough it out is doing no one any favors.
if you want to tag that kind of post with something saviorable (please not something that could show up a lot in other types of posts) then that’d work too. unfortunately, my inbox is one of the things that’s stressing me out, so sending me an ask about it won’t work. so… you’d have to like… make a post mentioning what your angry/depressing/strident post tag is, i guess?
i dunno, guys, i’m not making a permanent policy statement here, i’m just trying things to see what works. :/
I’m this same way, even if I’m yelling “RIGHT ON” in my head, sometimes I need to not think about a thing at all, because feeling like there’s nothing I can do to help because of my own issues really makes me melt down.
