From Ursula Vernon: Screaming at these people works. They’re fundamentally wimps, we just have to actually DO the screaming instead of preemptively admitting defeat.

I am talking about my fellow Americans, not the Democrats. We actually need to scream, gang, not just complain that Schumer isn’t.

In other words:

what they don't tell you is that after you turn 30 you have ocasional but powerful bouts of home ownership fever, which is like baby fever but instead of randomly really wanting a baby you go on zillow and look at modest properties you will nonetheless never be able to afford. and then it passes and you're like wtf was that about. yay time for another $6 coffee to stave off the dread

The “hung up on his ex” complaint has such gross vibes… like if you willingly slept with someone in a super gross position of power over you and it’s taking time to come to terms with that, haha, fuck you, no pity for damaged goods.

People really will extol BG3’s portrayal of trauma and then turn around and shit on characters whose trauma is slightly inconvenient or (in their mind) not “sexy” enough. People will read autistic fans seeing themselves in Gale and then not connect the dots when they gleefully cackle that “Gale is just so BULLYABLE for some reason!” People will talk about the nuanced portrayal of sexual abuse in Astarion’s story and then laugh about Gale’s reaction to being coerced into a sexual scenario in the brothel.

People can like and dislike whoever they want, there are certainly characters who grind my gears for no real reason, but just like, admit that. I’m so tired of the hypocritical moralizing bullshit people engage in when it comes to Gale. Y’all are telling on yourselves more than you realize.

Year of our lord 2025 and people still record themselves on stream and in comments about how creepy and annoying Gale is.

‘Omg he never stops talking about his ex’

‘I cut off his hand lololol I’m so funny’

‘Nice guy energy he’s so gross’

Meanwhile any of the tiniest critiques about Astarion are met with vitriol. At best, ignored. While the I Hate Gale Fanclub continues to jerk themselves off about how happy they get when they press Netherese Orb.

You’re not cute. You don’t have to like him, that’s fine. You can dislike the unconditional love vibe of his romance. I know that’s not for everybody, that’s chill by me.

But the aggressive need to talk about how much you love killing him 2 years after the game has come out:

literally though if you feel like your life is slipping through your fingers and every day goes too fast… try doing hard things, not just taking the easy route, like reading and making art and exercising and cooking a meal from scratch and journaling, doing these things without distraction, without being absorbed on a screen… the time will stretch and you’ll be reminded that life is long and beautiful if you make it so.

"the western narratives around opponents of western hegemony are often biased and distorted and not actually reflective of reality and shouldn't be taken uncritically"

yes absolutely

"so the best way to counteract those biased narratives is to uncritically believe whatever the counternarrative is"

no, you don't actually have to do that

Do me a favour and reblog this with a show you like that was cancelled after only one season. I don't mean shows that were always meant to be miniseries or shows that work perfectly well as a standalone story, or shows that might still get renewed. I mean shows that are and will forever remain unfinished. The more obscure the better.
