Move On - Blog Posts

your crush or whatever not liking you back isn’t really a big deal it just means they don’t like you back. you don’t need to hyper analyze and fix shit that doesn’t need to be fixed cuz it will never end. all you’ll end up doing is trying to recreate yourself and get frustrated when you can’t. growth and improvement is natural and you should want that but not because you want someone to like you back. but because YOU want to grow and like yourself.

YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO GIVE A FUCK!! YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO CARE!! YOU DON’T HAVE TO PRETEND!! SOMETIMES WE ARE TENDER FOR THE WRONG PEOPLE BUT WE HAVE TO MOVE ON!! BE VULNERABLE AND MOVE ON!!

HOW DO ANY HOMOPHOBIC MORTAL KOMBAT FANS EVEN EXIST?? DID Y'ALL JUST NOT PAY ATTENTION TO KUNG JIN, MILEENA AND TANYA IN MKX? OR MILEENA IN MK11? OR MILEENA AND TANYA IN MK1??

EDIT :

Kung Jin is a confirmed gay man, Mileena is confirmed to be bisexual. (I'm unsure if Tanya is also bisexual or if it's unconfirmed yet.) They are explicitly stated. So, only three characters, out of hundreds of named Mortal Kombat characters, are confirmed to be queer.

It's clear nobody is 'forcing' anything, or 'making everything LGBTQ+', because those three examples are the only canon characters apart of our community. You can just block the ship tags, the lgbtq tag, or the people who post that art / fanfictions, you're making a huge issue out of something that takes less seconds to solve than putting on a sock.

If a character has a spouse and kids, it's in no way confirming that they're straight. To believe that is ignoring the bisexual people in real life who have children and a spouse, it's ignoring the fact that bisexual is attraction to all genders, including the opposite, and if a bisexual person wants kids? That's great! It doesn't make them any less bisexual.

It's rather disingenuous to claim you 'have no issue' with our community, but then turn around and be genuinely disgusted or even angry when ships or headcanons are made about us.

It's telling when you only focus on the LGBTQ+ aspect of that headcanon or ship. It's telling when you, only after the post is made and you're rightfully getting harmless criticisms, mention cishet ships and headcanons offhandedly because 'look guys! I'm not homophobic!' Even though you never actually mention what ships or headcanons you dislike, just that you dislike a few.

Unless they're LGBTQ+. In which case you go in vivid detail, you describe how frustrated you get, how it's clearly 'new fans' despite the fact that queer people and their ships + headcanons have been a part of fandom space, since fandoms existed.

To bring up past timelines when you're specifically referring to Mortal Kombat 1 is plain stupidity, Liu Kang changed Tarkat from a species to a disease, it's not hard to believe a character could be trans or gay when before they were hinted otherwise.

It proves that, for you, it's not about shipping or headcanons, or new fans, or fandoms in itself. It's about the fact that our community is gaining acceptance, we're being seen as normal, because we are normal, and we shouldn't be treated as 'it NEEDS to be confirmed to be true.' But for cishet people? Oh, EVERY character is cishet, that's just the 'default'.

Oh, and, by the way, it isn't 'good representation' if you can't actually tell if the character isn't cishet/allo, if it takes years for you to realise Kung Jin is gay, that means his queerness was written badly, which it was. If straight men characters get to flirt with women, and straight women characters get to flirt with men, why can't men flirt with other men, or women flirt with other women?

If cis male characters get to talk about their bodies, and cis female characters talk about their bodies, why can't transgender characters talk about being transgender or how it affects their bodies?

If your audience needs to go to a twitter post or ask around to check what your character's sexuality/gender is, you've quite literally just failed at writing.

Beside that, there's nothing wrong with believing a character is straight or cis, either! Just, don't be awful to those who believe differently, don't send threats, just because somebody believes a character is a part of our community.

tips on feeling like yourself again ? ily ♡

🌼 go somewhere beautiful and quiet where you can see the clouds and trees and gain perspective on your current life and figure out what’s making you happy and what’s making you sad and what makes you feel most alive. sometimes we get too caught up in distractions that we feel like we’ve lost ourselves. engaging in a calming activity like drawing or riding a bike or focusing on your surroundings can really help clear your head. distance gives you perspective.

🌻dream a lot. wherever you find your mind wanders, that says a lot about who you are and what you want.

🍰 let go of past labels if they imprison you. if you labelled yourself as the shy person and recently you’ve becoming more confident, it’s ok to let go of that identity trait that you’ve always been known for. let yourself encourage growth and going out of your comfort zone instead of remaining who you are forever. change can be a good thing.

🌸 think about what you want. not what your parents want, or what you feel like you’re supposed to want. forget all the pressures surrounding you. think about the people you admire, what qualities they have and your deepest dreams that haven’t been filtered by other people’s opinions. write these down and look at your reasons often. simultaneously remove anything that makes you feel unworthy, whether it’s people who don’t appreciate you, toxic social media, habits that make you loathe yourself or common inner thoughts that make you want to dim your radiance. if you suffer from negative thinking or a mental illness, the real you is hidden beneath it and that version of you is still alive and bright as ever. do whatever it takes to recover even if it’s talking to someone or finding medication or self care activities like eating right or getting enough sun. if you’re numbing your pain constantly either by addiction or avoidance it’s time to be completely honest with yourself because the real you wants to be healthy and happy instead of self punishing, and it’s true that confronting the problem is hard but if you accept it and forgive yourself and treat yourself with kindness and compassion it will make your life a whole lot lighter on your shoulders. unhealthy coping mechanisms can make you feel like you’ve lost yourself but don’t worry because once you make small changes to your life you will feel complete and genuinely nice again. so it’s really important that you treat yourself as a friend would; maybe after years of feeling down or unworthy your inner conversation has become that of a bully so of course you won’t feel like yourself unless that changes.

🌷start a new hobby. stagnancy can feel comfortable but in the end it’s what can cause you to feel lost and hopeless. small senses of accomplishment can really lift your mood and create meaning in your life. so start a hobby and make small goals to enrich your life with what you think would make you happy. even better would be to meet new people because there’s nothing better than finding new people to connect with and inspire you.

💫 don’t isolate yourself. isolation causes you to lose yourself into endless ruminations and negative mindsets. you’ll start to listen to the voice that tells you that you’re never going to be good enough or that no one loves you. once you surround yourself with positivity and say yes to meeting friends you’ll realize that you are worthy and loved and you are loved for being you and nothing else.

I hope this helps!!
