Remembering Chadwick Boseman

there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

You are allowed to grieve the years you lost to mental illness. You’re allowed to be mad that it happened to you. You’re allowed to pine after the person you might have been had it been different. But don’t let that get in the way of your growing into your new self and following a wholly new path for your life.

best thing is that I’ll feel better once I do my hair

worst thing is that I gotta do my hair so I can feel better

Going to therapy and unfucking the issues you got passed down as generational trauma and then not having kids is kind of amusingly petty in a vaguely spiritual way I can't say that I entirely believe in.

"What you heal in yourself, you heal in your bloodline :)" no bitch this is for me, not all of y'all. I'm getting my own ducks in a row and getting my head screwed back on right because I'm the one that gets to be happy. I'm not cleaning up several generations' accumulated messes in order to make things nice for the next one, this shitass bloodline ends with me. Y'all don't deserve to be anyone else's ancestors.

Trying to figure out how to even write my oc’s storyline into season four but this season doesn’t make a lick of sense at ALLL 😭 trying to write a fic AND fix the storyline is wild

Yes we need more chaste twee baby gay romances like heartstopper and yes we also need more shows where men fuck raw to express their love for one another like Élite and yes we need more toxic gays having hate sex like Interview with the Vampire and yes we need more incidental gay characters like the dads in cartoons like Owl House.

It's not a competition! It's a hoard and I'm like a gay little Smaug.

To this day,

"if she's your girl then why is her leitmotif part of my theme" "to highlight the tragedy of how she'll never love you back"

is one of the most brutal pieces of play banter that I've read on this website. One of those shitposts that keep coming back to you. Damn.

I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

in order to unlearn racism u have to be willing to accept that u are racist. it’s not a bad thing to want to change for the better. it’s not a bad thing to say hey, the way i’ve been acting is racist and i don’t want to be racist anymore. when people of color are telling u ways in which u have been racist, it’s actually not cool to brush it off and say, well i didn’t mean it that way.. u actually have to make an effort to stop doing those things if u want to be able to actually say ur anti-racist. u can’t just say ur not racist because u don’t wanna be seen as racist. that’s not how unlearning racism works.

They keep making fat jokes about Diego (which I already don't like because of the fatphobia of it all. The guy has 3 kids and works as a delivery driver, of course he's not fucking ripped anymore)

But David Castañeda looks....exactly the same as every other season, so it literally makes no sense?

Edit: AND THEN HE TAKES OF HIS SHIRT LATER AND HE'S LITERALLY SUPERHERO RIPPED SO WTF WAS THAT EVEN ABOUT?!

whys combat and military gear always got to look so fucking cool when the people wearing them just objectively arent. thats unfair

i think when we used to point out that a story didn't need a sex scene what we meant was "this story reduces its women to mere sex objects and gives them no interiority so the sex scenes are gratuitous and geared towards the male gaze" it wasn't the sex that bothered us per se it was the objectification of female characters while givig them little to no consequence to the overall story but nowadays people mean "sex is icky and gross and has no merit to ever be portrayed in our arts which should be good and pure and never ever make ME feel discomfort" and it's like. i bet a bowl of unfrosted flakes looks real good to you rn
