i think frazel is cute but rick why tf did you have to make her 14 dude. just in the same way i'm wondering why rick made will 16 or nico 14 if he was going 2 ship them together. was it really necessary? anyways not an anti post and not a post intending argument. feel free to debate with people in the comments or reblogs, but the moment it gets aggressive just shut it down

"I would rather stick to a group that harasses people, sends death threats, rape threats, doxxes people, and sides with actual pedophiles because I don't wanna be associated to people who treat fictional characters as fictional characters"
oh woe is me I guess. But don't shed tears when these people will turn on you
Sorry but I don't support either groups, I'm strictly anti harassment! Just because because Im not proship doesn't mean I'm automatically pro harrasment
So I don't stand with either groups like that, I'm sorry but those antis who send death threats and other horrible things over fictional characters are also disgusting people!
I don't believe in going out of your way to harass someone, I literally just block anyone who posts that kind stuff and be on my way, that's what the block buttons for isn't it?
I don't like calling myself an 'anti' either I don't like being pushed into boxes such as "anti" "neutral" "proship" because I just want to stay out of the entire thing it's literally nothing but drama when you put a label on yourself and I'm not for that . Im literally just a teenager on the Internet to show my art to the people of the utau community and so on
So if you're proship OR PRO-harrasment please DNI :3

🌱 . → Introduction ;
Tumblr media
Hello ! Im Cotta, but you can also call me Bia or Bea. This account will be about my interests, hobbies and identities, among other minor things. I will generally write things in english, but sometimes portuguese. Here are some things about me:
My pronouns are she/her; I dont really like neutral (they/them) pronouns, but feel free to use them, as long as you don't refer to me with masculine pronouns (he/him) ;
I identify as an alterhuman: therian (caramel hooded crow · dall sheep · tabby cat · tundra wolf · ant), otherkin (centaur) and phytanthrope (daisy). There is a photo of them below ;
I really like spirituality and religion. Im a "kardecist spiritist" and witch, I also really enjoy learning about new cultures and stuff like that. No discrimination, though ;
The subcultures Im part of and styles I like to use/wear are mainly alternative, goblincore, cotta(ge)core, cowboy/cowgirl style and whimsical. Normally things related to nature and green/brown colors ;
I enjoy collecting trinket-stuff and doing things like sunbathing and daydreaming. Other hobbies of mine are making masks, drawing and playing piano ;
Im lesbian and hypersexual ;
I dislike talking about politics, but I consider myself a libertarian or just centrist in general ;
I use tone tags (mostly /gen [as gentle instead of genuine], /j, /srs, /nbr, /nm) and emoticons (mostly :3, :), :P, :D) ;
Im anxious, kinda agressive and I have difficulty in focusing well, so I may reply you in a rude way. I dont mean it most of the times, sorry if I act that way ;
Tumblr media
Im not really worried about your content or what you post, just DONT talk about any of those here:
NSFW and sexual stuff ;
Wars and politics ;
Anti-alterhuman, anti-nonhuman, anti-holothere, anti-physical-alterhumanity stuff ;
"Anti-paraphilia" or pro-con paraphilias stuff ;
Transmed, homophobic, transphobic, anti-self-diagnosis, sysmed and anti-endo stuff ;
Flirting and romantic relationships (do not flirt with me) ;
Rude, grotesque-like comments and harassment ;
Obvious others (racism, sexism, ableism, etc) ;

circ is such 4 hypocrite. they cl4im to be pro endo 4nd then keep being friends with bigots (they're besties with J4S 4nd other people who've h4r4ssed you so its not surprising). even more recently they c4me out 4nd reve4led themselves to be one of the mods of the 4nti endo 4nd bigoted sysbox tumblr blog 4nd its so fucking dis4ppointed. i never re4lly liked them bec4use of how much they h4r4ss tulp4s but their recent post on th4t blog is such 4 new low. THEY H4VE SUCH PICK ME ENERGY. they're liter4lly joking 4bout being better 4nd more 'civil' th4n most pro endos 4nd endos (you know the people they SUPPOSEDLY support so much), which re-enforces stereotypes 4bout endo systems. they literally do not give 4 shit 4bout us or our rights 4nd i wish more plur4l collectives fucking stopped supporting them just bec4use they make 're4lly nice and friendly sysmed cdd system' their whole br4nd. they're like those people who 4spire to be 4 model minority. they dont c4re. they h4ve never c4red. they only c4re about their own 4cceptance and getting popul4rity but dont c4re 4bout the rest of the community. im so 4ngry. my littles who used to find their blog comforting 4re fucking he4rtbroken. i knew they were shit but im so 4ngry 4t myself for not being 4ble to protect my system. im so 4ngry on beh4lf of my system and on beh4lf of the whole plur4l community. we deserve better
https://www.tumblr.com/sysboxes/745040882164760576/which-mod-is-circular-bircular-arent-they-pro?source=share
i hope this is ok4y to send. im just re4lly angry and your blog h4s 4lw4ys been 4 s4fe sp4ce for us. th4nk you for everything you do btw. despite the h4te, you 4lw4ys keep posting 4nd fighting for our rights. my system 4dmires you [ ^-^] <3
I'm sorry you feel hurt and betrayed.
It's terrible to put your trust in someone and find out they aren't who you thought they were. But for what it's worth, I don't think you let your system down.
Life is about making mistakes and learning. You can't refuse to trust anyone just because you get burned in the past. Maybe it hurts now, but I don't think any lasting damage was done.
Personally, learning this... I find myself largely indifferent. I'm not at all surprised at this, knowing them. They've modded anti-endo discord servers, so why not an anti-endo sysbox blog?
My own feelings on Circ are complicated. I do not consider Circ safe for endogenic systems given their reblogs and support of anti-endos, and frequent parroting of anti-endo talking points.
At the same time, I actually do think their presence in anti-endo spaces has been a net positive for our goals in those communities. Circ has bragged a few times about making their anti-endo friends more pro-endo. And while I wouldn't say those friends became allies to the pro-endo community, many did switch to more neutral stances which I do think helped reduce hate against endogenic and pro endo systems in those spaces, and that seems like a good thing for me.
So I guess, while I don't care much for Circ as a person due to history there, I can acknowledge that their influence in anti-endo spaces ultimately serves my goals.
Besides, it's really upsetting some anti-endos so that's fun to watch! 😁
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And you know, they have a point.
Like, if I was following a pro-endo blog and learned that one of the mods was anti-endo... and an anti-endo who bragged about making pro-endos more anti-leaning, I would be very suspicious of not just that one anti-endo but all the mods on that blog they were friends with.
How can you trust that your anti-endo sysbox mods haven't already been converted to the other side and aren't just lying to you about their syscourse stance???
Now you might think I'm just intentionally trying to spread mistrust and division among anti-endos by saying this... get them to turn on each other and tear themselves apart from the inside. And you'd be absolutely right! But that doesn't mean I'm wrong, and it doesn't mean me stating my motives aloud will make it any less likely to work!
And I would even like to say that I do appreciate the mod team on that blog being able to look past an alleged pro-endo's syscourse stance. Even if it's only for this one kind-of-hypocritical exception since they still refuse to interact with any other pro-endos.
Yes, I SophieInWonderland, endogenic tulpa, support sysboxes for having a pro-endo-identifying mod!
And since antiendovents crossposted in the inclusive plural tag, this is going straight into the anti-endo tags so the entire anti-endo community can see me expressing this support that I'm sure won't create any waves at all. 😈

anti/neutral jiggy anons: weird how obsessive and defensive jiggy fans are
jiggy fans: WE ARE NOT, YOU JUST THINK WE'RE BEING SRS WHEN WE'RE KIDDING *proceeds to exhibit unhinged behavior and takes that are a complete bastardization of canon*
me: i mean i guess im not really in on the joke but tbh it just seems like the anti/neutral peeps are right?
fr tho im sure some of the pro jiggy fans are joking (i mean i hope, it looks like stupid jokes to me) but some of those takes sound really sincere and in that case.... yikes.
oh well, all these characters are fake so none of this really matters but im definitely entertained ig

The man who groomed and sexually abused me for 8 years was an anti. Guess who defended him? The antis, because he was "showing me why I shouldn't ship pedophilia" and because "proshitters deserve it anyway." And guess who helped me get out of that situation? Here's a hint: It was the ones who actually DO know when abusing people in real life is bad. As in, NOT antis. Your spaces are A BREEDING GROUND for abuse (sexual and otherwise), as has been documented THOROUGHLY for almost a decade now. I'll trust someone who likes gross fiction before I EVER trust the people who think there's such thing as a justifiable victim, or paints a beige flag red (which helps hide abusers and pedophiles WAY MORE than the "hey fiction isn't real" crowd ever will) and provides minors a FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY AMONG THEM
im sorry that happened to you but i dont know why youre telling me this?? i am not involved with pro/anti ship discourse like. ever. id consider myself more unaligned (not neutral) than anything but normally when asked about my opinion on proship i just say anti because of how heavily romanticized things are in the general community. i do not associate with staunch antishippers either and i very much agree that their community can be just as dangerous. news flash dude: when i say i like dark fiction i meant it, the shit i like probably falls under what you mean when you say gross fiction. and i also by no means whatso-fucking-ever think abuse is ever justified under any circumstances, but thanks for assuming i do. stop being odd in my inbox please. christ.

fave characters of the new cast + any hopes or predictions for the new season sha mod?
this ask is from like 2 weeks ago i put off answering it because i dont even know my own opinions i had to double check a post i made on my main to remind myself who i liked lmao
i like emma she's nice. i hope she stays nice but i have a feeling she won't or she'll at least do some questionable things. i can be on board with questionable things though
i also like chase because im boring i guess he just seems . ok he seems nice okay!! i like the nice characters sue me !!! he seems like a neat guy and i want to be his friend!!
i like mk's design but i feel like i won't like her character for some reason. same with scary girl and axel.
am i pro or anti bowie? i am not sure. i am bowie neutral. do i kind of hate looking at him? yes. but that just means he's doing something right
while the canon gay couple looks like it'd be bowie and caleb from the promotion material, it also seems from one of the teasers that caleb's the first boot in which case it can't be them. or maybe that means it is- fresh WOULD boast about representation that only lasts one episode lmao. idk who else bowie could be with tho. unless he's a red herring and doesnt even have a romance plotline and its some other people entirely ??? but would fresh be that smart idk
chase and priya are both too normal looking to not have a romance plotline imo. not necessarily with each other but like what else are fresh going to do with them

9, 16, and 32 for the ask game! ~ roulettesys [Lucky]
9. does your system have system members who age slide or age regress?
yup. most of us do, actually. we experience age as more as a feeling than a number, so virtually everyone age slides. tbf tho, they aren’t very large gaps (17 to 19, 18 to 23, 7 to 11, 5 to 9… etc)
if you mean specifically to a way smaller form, then i guess cody does? he rarely appears as an adult in his late twenties, but his regular form is a fifteen year old. doesn’t really change how he acts though.
16. what system member is the strangest species?
we have a few atypical species: vampire, vocaloid, mermaid, moth shifter slash cryptid, angels, ghosts, hybrids… the weirdest one has to be a tie between misery and umbra.
misery, aka xey who will not be named, is a living shadow. its hard to get xem under control cus of it. xey can shapeshift, ignore blocks, whisper to current fronters when not being close to front, and even influence physical actions to pull ppl close to front (mainly persecutors)
umbra is… nothing. literally nothing. its like a giant static mass / blob that is insanely eloquent for god knows what reason. its like a presence but also… not? like you know someone is there but you can’t see shit. they have a staticky or scribbled appearance if it pushes themself to take on a human form.
32. which system member has the most based takes? [for current fronter]
two of us are here rn, so we’ll both answer:
❤️ (kris) — dunno, tbh. id say ella, aspen or silas. ella can be over critical but she has solid takes. aspen is chill asf & crazy artistic. silas is based af. dude likes cursed images. we both scroll r/diwhy and r/stupidfoods. we are the same person. /j
🪻(imogen) — mmm… honestly? ana. im also in the 12-16 slide range but she’s usually younger than me. still, she’s got some solid takes (endo-neutral/positive, pro-good faith identities, anti-anything that’s harmful to a real life person/animal). so yeah. might be biased here cus we’re so similar, but she’s based.
❤️ (kris) — thx for the ask 👍

hiya,,what r ur discours3 opinions,, for ex,, tucut3,,,, ,,,BITHC ASS ANTI SHIPPERS, fuckin mogai, xenogenders, ace/aro spec and,,, ace xxxexclusion,,,, biphobic ass mspec sexualities, ,,,he/him lesbians,,,, bi men and ,,,women,,, sayin’,,, the,,,, f or D slur, genderfluidity and bigender,,,, cishet demisexuals(r th3y lgbt?) ,, nb l3sbians,,, shit like that,, what’s ur take,,,? also anythin else u think of. /gen /srs /nm
alright tucute/transmed: both sides have flaws, but i also think theres a lot of misunderstanding on both parts,, and that theres no reason for both of them to shit on other people,,,, i have met great and close friends from both sides as well! anti shippers: most antis i seen or met have dropped me for being pro ship,,, i think their ideology is harmful and ableist,, i empathize with wanting the internet to be a safe place and what not, but harassing other, innocent abuse victims or mentally ill people is not the way. mogai; im neutral on it, i think people should be able to decide their own identity without people policing it, xenogenders: same as above ace/aro aspec: valid,, i used to be super aphobic,, and i didnt even notice, but a friend of mine called me out on it and started to look into more information and talk to more ace/aro people and now i think they are amazing,, ace exclusion: i dont get it anymore, i used to think cishet ace/aro people were not lgbt,, but now i see that its not the case,, i support them mspec sexualities: same as mogai, if people have internalized biphobia because of it like many people say, they should find out on their own, and its not our right to get into the business on how a person decides to identify as, and i stand for solidarity,, not separation he/him lesbians: same as mogai bi men and women saying f/d slur: i never heard of this one. but i do think they can reclaim it. if they like their own gender then go for it, i guess,,, i dont know what more goes into it but at this point i dont really care as long as you dont use them in an insulting way. genderfluid/bigender/cishet demisexuals; yes, i think they are all lgbt nb gays/lesbians: i dont think people should be forced to use a label to define themselves, thats why i think its valid for people to call themselves gay/lesbians/trixic/toric and be nb. im a he/they, that doesnt mean my boyness goes away for using they/them pronouns lmao, maybe for society, but not for me. and i dont give a fuck about what society thinks about me, because i know what i think of myself i dont know what else,,, but i hope thats enough to get a grasp about what i think,,

hi im here to rant (eek im really sorry if this is annoying somehow) but agh i dunno why we have to be so mean to each other? like, i dont support incest, and i dont ship romrem or anything, but i still interact kindly with others who do? like aahahshags we wont get anywhere if we just scream at each other,, anyways, sorry, bye! have a great day! 💕💕💕
It’s not annoying, dearheart. My inbox is open to rants. 💚
Unfortunately, there’s lots of reasons why people are mean to each other. My best guess is that most antis will only show respect to other humans who share their beliefs - if those beliefs are challenged, or they meet someone who ships something “problematic”, antis feel these people no longer deserve respect, because they aren’t “decent human beings with morals and stuff”. We become sub-human in their eyes. So antis hate us, and they feel ~good~ about hating us, because they are standing on the side of all things Good and Right and Pure. Moral righteousness is a hell of a drug. And because of their Black/White thinking, they can’t allow us to co-exist peacefully - if they aren’t fighting us, then they’re “allowing” us to exist (read: “sympathizing”) and feel culpable for the evil things we do.
When this war started shortly after the video dropped, Antis were doing a damn fine job of silencing the fandom. Nobody was speaking positively about Remrom. There was no art, and no fic. People were scared to come out as ~neutral~, let alone pro-ship, and so they were hiding in fear. ~This~ is why they are so mean, because it ~WORKS~. If they’re mean enough, if they are loud enough, if ppl are afraid enough, then they can control the fandom. It wasn’t until after I started vocally fighting back that other proshipper slowly came forward under sideblogs of their own. I shone a mirror on the antis, calling them out on their bad behavior, and slowly more and more neutrals were brave enough to come forward and preach for peace. I don’t think I can take all the credit, but I like to think I played a big part in directing this fandom down a more peaceful path.
I hope you have a good day too, Anon. Keep being your awesome, kind self.  💕

I try so hard not to get salty about Klance, because I do ship it, but I also have Shaladin ships and after being called a pedo incest shipper, etc, by mostly Klance shippers for so long it's just.. really hard to not want to lash out. I barely interact with any Klance content cause it doesn't feel safe, and all the hatred has really made me struggle to even still feel comfortable liking the ship. I hate that I feel so conflicted and keep swinging back and forth between proKlance and antiKlance.
hey man i know how this feels. i’m obviously very pro ship yet laith remains to be my main pairing in this series. i used to struggle a lot with these feelings, especially since i’ve gotten the same ribbing from antis just for being pro shaladin and have seen all my friends get that hate. it’s not an easy thing to wrestle with, and my heart really goes out to you nonnie.
i guess one thing that’s helped me is to separate antis from klance, which is no easy task. that’s one reason why i’ve started using laith over klance. laith isn’t used by most antis, so calling it laith and using ‘laithers’ has really helped me to separate it. also, for the most part i dropped the term klantis, and when i want to talk about klance shippers who were antis, i just call them antis. while most antis are klance shippers, i’ve certainly met my fair share who weren’t klance fans, in fact some of them detest it. it’s not the ship that’s anti, hell, it’s not even the shippers since i think antis now make up a minority of the klance shipping community, it’s just a couple of assholes who refuse to do basic research into psychology. klance isn’t an anti ship, and it takes time to remove the connotation, but it’s worth it, trust me.
(personally, i consider nothing in this fandom an ‘anti thing’ because they don’t belong here if they can’t respect other people. when will they learn to blacklist and move on like damn)
another thing i do a lot is just... sit back and reflect on why i like the ship so much. i enjoy keith and lance’s competitive, impulsive dynamic a whole lot, and i think as they mature they could grow into a very passionate couple that still retains their youthful connection no matter how old they become. their teasing can turn into playful, loving banter, and they share a sense of adventure. i think lance’s bright personality provides levity to keith, and keith is a pillar of strength and an achor for lance. fire and water create steam, they’re two elements that can change at will, one moment cool and calm, and the next a complete disaster, and that suits them. (sorry for the ramble aa!)
also, if it makes you feel better, i do my best to make sure all the is made by neutrals or pro shaladins, and if i do mess up PLEASE let me know! not to mention i have that huge list of pro shippers on my blog, and if you need pro ship laithers... i know a bunch! plus the #takebackklance... that movement is still up and running for people just like you. there is pro ship made laith content out there, so don’t worry
you’re not alone as a shipper, and i hope you never feel like you are. don’t beat yourself up for liking a ship! maybe you have other ships that conflict with it, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy both in the fandom. liking laith isn’t synonymous with being an anti, and i hope people aren’t seeing it as such. i know that antis have done a lot of damage, but i am no anti and i refused to be treated like one. i left the antis a long time ago and i’ve clearly been very active in the pro ship community ever since. sure, not everyone is going to see that, but im hoping most will.

I was wondering if any [past or present] Jonerys, Pro-Daenerys fans like myself feel this way.....?
Firstly Id say please be nice i just enjoy analyzing the shit out of fandoms I like, (im a history/polysci major ((with an emphasis on Peace Justice and & Conflict Studies)) all i do is analyze and try to be diplomatic lmao) but considering all they petty drama between both ships as well as pro/anti Daenerys stans ON BOTH SIDES I’m going to be “That Person” and at least ask for people to be respectful/civil, I want to hear from everyone and their metas/what they think which is why i tagged like, all the tags, no matter if you love her/the ship or cant stand it, as long as everyone can keep civil So firstly I’ve loved Dany both books and show from the beginning. She’s gorgeous, wants to be the best person she can be, and her hair/fashion style game is always ON POINT.  That being said, somewhere around season 5 i think i’ve found my opinion on her cooling a little bit, ep after ep, till now. Like I still like her bc she was my first character love on the show but I’ve def soured in my opinion on her. Maybe it’s because I love learning about the subject that im more baised (im hoping thats the case) but she just seemed to have no interest in actual governance, just the reputation (esp of being the ‘rebel queen’)/the awe/the power/the thrill of the adoration that went along with it to the point where I feel like though she still wants to be a ‘good queen’ or at least wants to be seen that way, she doesnt want to do much work for the title. Like yeah she freed all the slaves and that was a def progressive and awesome move on her part (major props! slavery is sin and im glad someone recognized that who had the power to do something about it) but she didnt handle that aftermath or ensuing problems well at all nor really mulled heavily on the subject to find the best solution. She just got fustrated with pretty basic/common (albeit complex in themselves) issues of standard governance and kind of went agh! fuck this! (obv not actual quotes but that was the vibe I got). And then ESPECIALLY after season 7 her character has kind of nagged at me in the back of brain which i hate but its inherent like its just a feeling i cant help it?? I just dont know why to be honest that Im feeling so negative towards this character i used to love.  The whole ‘ bEnD thE knEe ‘ thing w/ Jon and yet pinning it on Jon’s pride not equally on his and her own was more than a little hypocritical, when hon they can discuss it later like at that point they have two common enemies the WW and Cersei they both want to do away with, and then again with the Bend the Knee or Die bit w/ the Lannister soldiers. In fact the whole sequence before that point felt kind of villinous I dearsay, I mean  deliberately burning the harvest that most of westeros needs for the winter or even strategically not willing to try, and well, nOOt intentionally burn the food considering its winter, the harvest is over (so likely not much is gonna grow in the time being) when she has a G I A N T ass army of her own to think of feeding???? Like i get it is war shit happens soldiers die but the F O O D ? Was that an impuslive in the moment mistake or did she just not give a fuck? And back to the aftermath scene/Bend the Knee 2.0, her speech was again quite hypocritical...and burning dickon?????? not willing to keep prisoners???? either bend or die??? I actually am glad she did away with Papa Tarly bc he was an awful human, but dickon????? a young idealistic man about to loose his father??? the heir to a major ally/house???? And honestly that bend or die strategy is soooooo dumb bc now she cant trust any of them like theyre only bending the knee out of self preservation homie, no one wants to die. they bend  the knee to survive and now they all of the sudden think youre their queen? Nah fam, prisoners were better, all you got are spies in your camps or people willing to backstab you at the smallest promise of coin. And i dont want that for my girl
IDK the whole “im gonna BREAK THE WHEEL,,,,,,,,yet im stating my claim mainly on my housename (aka the predominant force of said wheel for a literal dynasty) and the fact that i can scare people who otherwise are unconvinced bc lets be real westeros has had a bad run of rulers a lot of which were Targs in the past couple decades, into submission bc ill burn you otherwise???” doesnt sit well with me nor does it feel like the character ive been rooting for the past five-ish seasons. She just doesnt seem to put into effort on understanding Westeros, why things go wrong, being self-critical or sharing the blame,thinking on what a “good” ruler would do.... anyone else feeling this way and if so do you think this is just shitty writing? D&D butchering her character? or a new arc for her? perhaps the way shes always been? She just seems like a tantruming child bratty and entitled idk (a beautiful child but still)  As for jonerys...... im not gonna go into it much but how are other shippers happy????????? I honestly dont understand. I was SO looking forward to this season/this ship. like so much! But it felt so forced? And i know a lot of people claim its cause its rushed but tbh we’ve had a lot of romances in a similar time frame that felt like A C T U A L romances.....even Talisa/Robb who the Northerners will prob compare any of this too were so much better. THIS WAS MY EPIC SHIP DUDE. I feel the dany side of things (took a while but theres def heart eyes) and yet Jon???? He felt hollow. Still does even after sex. Im so disapointed but more than that I cant see the romance or the chemistry. He looks constipated. Hes never smiled like with his teeth around her the way hes done w others he cares deepily about (ygritte, toramund, sansa, even fkin gendry in the first scene they had together). He never reveals anything about himself. And between the “my queen” ep (and remember he was look warm when discussing her to toramund throughout it) and the previous the only thing that changed was that he saw the actual difference dragons made against WW. You could argue she saved them all too but that doesnt make you fall in love w someone out of the blue and also people have saved his ass before and??? Sansa w the vale anyone??? (Not an argument for jonsa js its happened) (though ill admit ive transitioned to loathing jonerys and loving jonsa more as a potential couple in the space of seven eps where if you asked me I wouldve been like PSH u cray. I never thought it would happen in a mill years but D&D ruined my ship and here i am! Shipping aside tho since its best too look at these things as neutral as possible).  Anyways the sigh of his after she left and when he pretended to be asleep.... idk. The only scene that felt genuine and where Jon smiled and it didnt look like a full on grimace and they actually kinda joked around was really nice and at the pit at the finale and if they do a LOT more of basic romance stuff like that I could ship it again but. It was followed by boatsex and boy.  I was hoping boatsex might rekindle my like for the two together. I could see the chemistry the passion. I was hoping the passion would overwhelm me and make up for the rest. But instead......like there was no foreplay, it lasted 2 seconds, and it was overplayed by brans voice and a reminder of future conflict or at the very least major angst b/w the two. i didnt see the parallel between regear and lyanna playing alongside their scene as anything romantic or that it should be taken as such. and the look they shared.... I was hoping jon would bring it bc Dany’s look in her eyes is like soooo smitten and adorable and say what you will I still have a space in my heart for her and still dont want her to suffer, but again Jon looks like oh shit/constipated. And not in a good oh shit way either.  There is a bunch more too but Imma stop there bc Im just tired at this point.  So many things were just....off this season. And it cant all be blamed on the “rushed” time frame. I’ve read the undercover lover theory and hon it makes the most sense (not perfect sense but still, more than what we’ve been poorly spoon fed) but im not willing to believe it just yet. Still, maybe D&D are just butchering a lot of things like making the romance believable and stuff for the sake of time that could be true i guess. But they like to go AHA GOT U so  Idk I dont find a lot of meta in the jonerys tag bc honestly (((((i think its bc the tag and ship are more popular and theirs more people both good and bad)))) it doesnt seem like snowballing theories is something all fans take really well in the tag at all. But whatever. I really want to know, is there any meta or theories im missing to either validate the icky feeling Im haveing about D or her “romance” or on the flipside anything that might make me change my mind about it? Theories, meta people! I just want to reiderate im not trying to hate on anyone or any point of view and I will flag any comment anti one ship or person or another if its plain hateful or rude. I just want to understand it and see what Im missing, esp because of how much I was looking forward to her arc and jonerys’ dynamic and how much the words “falling short” dont seem to cover it. And to see if im not the only one to either have critique on the ship or her character [or even actually change ships] Also i apologize for how much ive said “IDK” i just..... I DONT KNOW

Lo I love ya but you've let me down! A robert "baby neutral"? For shame. I thought you were anti robron having a kid (s)/baby storyline? Tut tut. I mean I guess I'll let you off cos yiu said neutral rather than pro but still... Im joking. Well. Kinda 😂
Ok OK YES ANON FAIR BUT LET ME EXPLAIN MYSELF
THIS IS FAIR BC I DO NOT THINK CHILDREN SHOULD BE ALLOWED AROUND ROBRON AND I ALSO THINK LIV SHOULD LIVE WITH CHAS TBH BC
I LOVE THOSE BOYS BUT
JUST
THEYRE A MESS AND ALL CHILDREN DESERVE BETTER
MAYBE WHEN THEY PROVE THEY CAN STAY TOGETHER WITHOUT SPLITTING UP THREE TIMES EVERY MONTH I WILL CHANGE MY MIND
but I accepted long ago that at some point the show would probably give the boys a baby and lots of people who shouldn’t have kids on this show have kids *cough* charity *cough* and while I don’t necessarily think they’re gonna give them /this/ baby, regardless of whether it’s this one or not, this storyline has allowed me to finally embrace the fact that it’s probably gonna happen at some point and u can’t always get what u want
so instead i gotta take those lemons and make lemonade bc why not
It’s probably also worth noting that I didn’t want them to get married literally up until the day they got engaged and now I refuse to refer to them as anything but husbands so
I’m easily swayed by things especially things that are potentially cute and soft

Why does President Trump think technology is a dirty word?
Who needs tech when you have me?
Image: REX/Shutterstock
Vice President Mike Pences embarrassing use of an AOL email account is just another painful reminder of something that should be crystal clear to everyone: this administration doesnt understand or care a lick about technology.
Its an especially painful reality as we come off the high of an administrations 8-year-love affair with technology and social media. They held Maker Fairs on the White House Lawn, for heavens sake. Former President Barack Obama personally fired a marshmallow canon during the White House science fair. Obama was so enthralled by technology and innovation that he made it a centerpiece of his 2013 State of the Union Address.
Can you even imagine Donald Trump mentioning 3D-printing?
SEE ALSO: What one video game developer organization is doing to combat Trumps immigration ban
Donald Trump has what can only be characterized as an open antipathy toward technology and innovation. He rarely uses either of those words, and is so fixated on bringing back antiquated industries that rely on outmoded technology, he rarely casts his eyes forward. If ever.
Trump sees technology as just another rhetorical weapon. In other words: only worth using when it can be aimed in an attack. He spent much of the past year railing against Hillary Clintons improper use of a personal email account, and the Russian hack of the Democratic National Committee.
Aside from appointing Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer, as his cyber security czar, and a terse, awkward December meeting with Tech CEOs, mentions of any form of technology and innovation have faded into the background.
We shouldn’t be surprised.
His very first speech as President of the United States made it clear that tech wasn’t on the agenda.
Trumps inauguration speech was nearly tech-free, in fact. There was one mention of technologies of tomorrow, which is vague enough to mean nothing.
In his more recent speech before a joint session of congress, there was definitely zero mentions of technology or innovation.
Of course, you could fairly argue that few humans have used social media to greater effect than President Trump. He understands this narrow slice of technology, and embraces it. There’s an argument to be made that it helped him win the highest office in the land.
On the other hand, his and his staffs use of the platform borders on abuse. There are constant flubs, misspellings, and deletionsdeletions of what should be part of public record. Dan Scavino, the Presidents Director of Social Media, seems more interested in pumping up his boss and his policies than in creating a digital window to the administration.
Trumps policies are, to be charitable, anti-tech. Theres his FCC appointment which will probably kill Net Neutrality and squelch innovation by smaller startups that could get nudged out of site on a pay-to-play Internet
And then theres the HB-1 visa situation. Trumps blanket attacks on immigration have thrown this pipeline for global tech talent into disarray. There was, during the congressional speech, just a hint that Trump may be turning around on this.
Switching away from this current system of lower-skilled immigration, and instead adopting a merit-based system, will have many benefits: it will save countless dollars, raise workers’ wages, and help struggling familiesincluding immigrant familiesenter the middle class.
It’s just hard not to wish he’d come out and said something about attracting skilled workers to the U.S.
He didnt, and I dont think he will. Instead, Trump will keep banging the drum loudly for the return of 19th and 20th-centruy industries like steel and, especially, coal.
Oddly, Trump can never acknowledge that the only way coal comes back is with more automation (technology), and fewer human employees. Then again, it’s not exactly a winning message.
Even if Trump werent anti-technology, his lack of interest in the subject is a blow to those who believe in innovation, and a bad example for young people who see a leader uninterested in breakthroughs, or the gadgets they love.
Hes not one of us. Hes the luddite dad who wont use email, doesnt get Snapchat, and keeps grousing about the death of 35 mm film.
Things would be better if Trump were balanced, at least a little bit, by a Vice President who cared about the tech space.
Needless to say, that isn’t Mike Pence, apparent AOL email fan and hack victim.
Sure, his emails werent as highly sensitive as Hillary Clinton’s (who, yes, should’ve known better), but some are sensitive enough that the current governor wont just hand them over.
Maybe Trump talks so little about technology because hes laser-focused on jump-starting the economy with infrastructure projects.
And yes: Infrastructure’s important. It can be a huge driver in the economy. But infrastructure projects of this century will rely on technology. Project managers may be carrying iPads or Surface Pros, not pen and paper. Architectural plans will be worked out on computer. Those buildings bridges, roads and tunnels will be modeled in 3D and walked through via VR long before the first layer of concrete is poured.
Has Trump or Pence ever tried VR? Im betting they havent. I bet theyve never even seen AR.
The one bright spot: Trump has left the U.S. Digital Service, formed under Obama, pretty much alone. It’s like a skunkworks, quietly operating as part of the Executive Office of the President (!) and still posting on its Medium Blog. The only reason it survives? Best guess is that Trump’s budget proposal hasn’t made it to Congress. Yet.
In Trumps first month in office, there was one big tech moment. Perhaps you remember it.
Trump hosted Intel CEO Brain Krzanich at the White House in February. Krzanich was there to announce a $7 billion dollar investment in the companys new Arizona fab. Fab 42 is an investment in Intel, but also the U.S.s future in innovation and leadership in the semiconductor industry, he said.
After Krzanich spoke, Trump motioned toward the silicon wafer sample Krzanich brought with him.
Trump: Thank you, Brian. And you have something over there. Show a little bit about the new product.
Krzanich: This is an example of the wafer that will be built in Fab 42. This is one of our newest 10-nanometer silicon wafers. Seven-nanometers will be built in Fab 42. And this is the future of computing.
Trump: That’s great, thanks. Do you have any questions for Brian?
It was clear Trump had no idea what that wafer is used for and, to be honest, likely didnt care. Trump was happy to have another CEO pay fealty to him, and show the world that hes keeping jobs in America.
Which is a good thingbut let’s be real: Trump wouldnt care if the jobs were at Intel or United State Steel.
He just doesnt care about technology.
BONUS: Behold, the Trump mask.
