#and it makes me so MAD

[eboni-napalm]

The only shitty thing about being a self-shipper in some fandoms is when you want to connect with people who are in that same fandom as you and share your love of the characters you ship with, whether with fanfics you wrote or art you drew/commissioned, but having this gut feeling that you just KNOW that people are going to laugh at your or call you gross or whatever, and it sucks. You basically have to tread so lightly and tiptoe around glass with how you talk positively about certain characters because otherwise people will bully you for it in any way they can and almost force you to isolate yourself from the majority of the fandom, if not completely ruin your love for that source- and that shouldn't happen, but it does.

Whether just for fun or actually serious about it, LET PEOPLE SELF-SHIP. So long as they're not hurting or offending anyone, the character and person shipping themselves with them are both adults, and are happy with how they live and express themselves, it shouldn't be an issue. Who fucking cares if people call it "cringe" or "stupid" or whatever words they come up with? It's something we love, and characters we love, and us self-shippers deserve to be able to feel safe and accepted in the sources we love without worrying about being insulted by it. Let us love what we love- we're not stopping you from enjoying your fandoms, so don't do it to us.

'You should never prioritize the lives of animals over the lives of people-' actually I view all lives as inherently equal as the baseline of my philosophy because human and animal lives are inseperable and codependant. The life of the bee and the wild wasp and the mosquito and the rattlesnake and the coyote and the couger you damn are all parts of the turning machine that sustain the growth of the food you eat and the health of the land you live on. You are dependant on them to survive and they are dependant on you to stop them from being slaughtered by power-hungry capitalists who see them as nothing more than pests to be eradicated. Their lives are equal to yours in worth because we are both componants of an ecosystem, cells in a great living body, and if you destroy one then the other will die. Do you understand.

but to talk about weverse, yesterday there was that fan letters initiative going on and a lot communities i am on weverse were full of those letters telling the idols to talk about palestine and etc and this morning when i woke up and checked the app most of it was gone and not to mention that stupid notice weverse posted today it all adds up 😭 they are genuinely trying to silence us it's not even a joke anymore

i wish i could take the cinelume dub and just . put the 4kids delivery/emotion in it. if it weren’t for the name changes, continuity issues, (british tecna) and subpar music i would be a shameless 4kids stan IS GETTING A DUB THATS TRUE TO THE ORIGINAL BUT DOESNT HAVE THE LINE DELIVERY OF 10TH GRADERS IN THEIR SCHOOL PLAY SO MUCH TO ASK

i have no doubt that someone else has probably worded this better, but i think that the perfection of but daddy i love him lies in how it doesn’t really matter who the subject of the song is.

bc there’s the fact that no matter if she’s dating a garbage can or saint, certain circles within the fandom will always think they know better and be quick to run around screaming their think pieces on why taylor shouldn’t be dating that man bc he’s not good enough for her.

bc sure, matty is godawful, but i haven’t forgotten how a good amount of y’all in here were pearl-clutching about freaking travis kelce bc he was nothing more than a dumb jock with no brain or depth bc athletes are all stupid and shallow, only to now be all heart-eyes and gushing about how cute he is and what a gentleman and oh my my my!

and that’s literally what the song is about!!!!! the stupidity of thinking you have any agency over the decisions someone you don’t know should make bc you think you know better. and you don’t!!!!!

truly truly hate when people get a pet just to have a pet with no intention to give the poor animal the best life possible

[padfootastic]

like, i like draco and all but the way so many of his fans twist his actions to portray him sympathetically and turn harry into the villain is so weird. *especially* in postwar fics. or the AU slytherin!harry ones.

it’s probably really weird that so much draco/harry gives me the same rancid vibes as remus/sirius but alas, what to do.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

THIS. THIS. THIS.

One thing I love and miss about SA2 Shadow that we’re likely never getting back is how smart, sneaky, and mischievous he was. How he was the kind of guy who could play the long game and trick a person into being their own worst enemy.

‘Cause here’s the thing. After Heroes, Shadow became a “I take orders from NO ONE!” kind of guy, and him boasting that constantly makes it impossible for him to ever play the long game again. Because in SA2, he still didn’t take orders, but he pretended he did. His first words to Eggman are him sucking up to the guy about how grateful he is to be released and how he will grant his master one wish.

He took one look at Eggman, thought “Oh, this guy definitely seems like the type who wants to be worshipped and has a weakness for flattery. I can use that.” And then he pretended to be a loyal and obedient servant so he could gain Eggman’s trust and stab him in the back later.

Modern Shadow would never do that. He wouldn’t have the patience to pretend. He would never refer to someone as his master even as a trick because now he values his pride more than he values efficiency. And while he isn’t unintelligent, he sometimes feels like more brawn than brain, whereas in SA2, he had both.

Tricking Eggman in SA2 is a pretty big deal considering how smart and effective he is in that game. Sonic and Tails try to trick him via the fake emerald and it doesn’t work. He doesn’t fall for it. But he does fall for Shadow’s trick. Because Shadow is cunning and clever in how he goes about it, and most importantly, he’s patient.

I wish we could see that again instead of it always being a contest of who can throw the hardest punch. Because the former is much more interesting.

spock’s room decor is actually fucking bonkers. The weapons??? the big red velvet curtain??? like ok phantom of the opera go crazy.

for reference jim’s room has some photos and a plant so we can surmise this is uniquely a spock being a dramatic weirdo thing

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:

You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)

BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES

You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable

THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION

And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.
