This “Pride Month,” we as Christians should strive to ignore it all entirely. Attention (negative as much as positive) is what these people are seeking, so you’re feeding their egos and fueling their persecution complex by making memes about how all gays are going to Hell or virtue signaling about how much you hate rainbow-encrusted merch. A lot of the “appeal” of Pride Month comes from the controversy that makes its rounds in Christian and conservative media outlets each year; it’s practically part of the LGBT holiday tradition to cry about da evil homophobes, and it’s not Pride Month without having a “struggle” of some kind for activists to “fight” against. Just don’t give them any attention.

i fucking knew shit like this was gonna happen. People hating on “Aemond” for looking like baby voldemort (lmfao what) is making me mad. their whole excuse for it is like “oh he looks sickly!” and “i’m not hating on Ewan i’m hating on Aemond”!

Let’s use some critical thinking skills here babes Aemond IS Ewan. Ewan is Aemond. By “bullying” or for lack of a better term-making fun of-Aemond you’re indirectly making fun of and insulting Ewan. Ewan is naturally built like that; and while it may not be your, or my, or anyone else’s type we have no reason to make fun of him 😭

this really sums it up perfectly

imagine creating a film so bad that it makes alien: resurrection look good. they really looked at a famously terrible alien film and went 'oh we could do this again but so much worse'

disney really does ruin everything it touches. can they please stop buying the rights to things and destroying them?

look I am fucking BEGGING yall to stop writing fanfic about the pjo actors. I’ve mainly seen this for Charlie and Dior but it goes for everyone. It’s weird to write fanfic abt any real ppl but especially the pjo cast since they’re so young. It’s just so weird imagine being like eighteen and seeing ppl writing fanfic about what you’d be like to date. It’s creepy and I’m begging yall to let these people live their lives

Under every post related to Bridgerton posted by Netflix people are crying for Michael. Just stfu omg... Get over it, they won't change it and it's been decided for more than one year now. Whether they knew what they were getting themselves into or not, the chances of them changing this storyline is zero. So I suggest you to stop throwing tantrum like a toddler. Either you'll watch their season or you don't easy as that.

Specially don't go after the actors as well. They didn't write the script...

so bad, but so good: dad jokes.

You ever heard the phrase, it's so bad, it's good? Well, the theory goes there is a particular point at which the bad quality of a given subject (e.g.: a film, a song, a fashion trend from a particular decade) reaches a point of such specificity and intensity, that it moves beyond this point and is reborn as something not bad, in fact, but good. It is hard to explain, and this metamorphosis from something so poorly constructed it becomes something inexplicably brilliant is perhaps only quantifiable by an as-yet-undiscovered science. Films are an ideal example of the bad/good paradox: just take Battlefield Earth (2000), starring John Travolta, who has made quite a name in a range of such films. Then, just three years later, writer, director, producer, and actor Tommy Wiseau released The Room (2003), perhaps the most notorious yet celebrated example of the genre. There is another such example of so bad, so good phenomenon in popular culture: the #dad joke.

Indeed the real beauty of the dad joke is something altogether profound. Its joy stems not from its wry intellect, or capacity to surprise, but from its wholehearted embrace of the naff, the lame, of everything that is joyfully, carelessly bad. The dad joke is the antithesis of trying, a liberating acceptance of its own narrow limits, and of its own wince-inducing quality. The dad joke does not try; it simply is.

Get your week off with the start it needs and deserves with this nourishing selection of #dad jokes.

As a psychotic system who is quoigenic, please do not use psychosis as a scapegoat for your anti-endo sentiments. You do not get to sit there and say "endos are just psychotic, not actual systems". Our system experiences do not come from our psychosis, but even if they did, would that mean we deserve to be harrassed?

Delusions and hallucinations are worsened for a lot of psychotic people by active harrassment and/or denial. If someone actually is a system due to a delusion, they are just as real as anyone else because you know what? They feel like they are, and that will not be changed with any amount of yelling at them or putting horrible asks in their inbox. Their percieved reality is altered but they feel the experiences of being plural and we are not qualified to go around accusing people of being less real. Feeding into delusions can also cause harm and every psychotic person is different, but harrassment will not help anyone.

You let your hatred of a community of plurals just trying to exist bleed into ableism toward others who are already so stigmatised. You do not care about psychotic people or disabled people at large, you only care about pushing your hate forward. We are not your "gotcha" card.

Okay, people. I need to soapbox for a hot minute.

My favorite fandom worlds are imploding on their own people, and it’s fucking ridiculous.

1) Lockwood and Co.

I hate to point this out, but I’m gonna anyway. There is no Locklyle WRITTEN ship in the books. There is an implied ship. The author confirmed that it was intentionally implied. But it wasn’t written. So you know what? There is NO canon ship.

You know what that means? People can ship whomever the fuck they want without “breaking canon”. If you write Locklyle, fine. But that makes you no better than people who are enjoying other ships. And even then, it’s a fandom. It’s imaginary shit. The way to keep the fandom alive and thrive is to NOT PUBLICALLY CASTIGATE AND PUT DOWN other shippers and their ideas, works, or conversations. If you do that, it’s YOU who is poisoning the fandom.

2) Stray Kids

Holy fuck, people! Can’t we all just be adults?

a) Do not attack people who interact with our boys in a professional capacity. It’s not helpful to the group to give them a reputation for having an out of control fanbase. It could cause their opportunities become limited just because others are scared that Stay may get offended by something.

b) If you don’t want to support the new song, don’t. Don’t buy it. Don’t stream it. Don’t get it off of a secondary site just because you can listen without supporting the collaboration.

DO keep your choices to yourself. Your choices are not supposed to apply to other Stay. We can make our own decisions. Other Stay are not lesser, wrong, unethical, Zionists, pro-genecide or any other thing you want to call them. They are simply supporting SKZ their own chosen way.

In closing, this is simple. Do what you want for yourself. Stop thinking your decision has any bearing on other people. Your ego is showing. You aren’t that fucking special. Check yourself.

Thank you.

Following up with my previous blog,

This doesn’t just apply to one fandom, it applies to every anime fandom. Majority of the popular anime are about teamwork and friendship that portray strong platonic relationships.

Yes, surprisingly (for you), friends can feel heavily for each other without romance involved,

Yes, surprisingly (for you), males can be more than a romantic partner or homosexually involved, they are allowed to have best friends they deeply care about. The belief that males can only be involved in forms of romance or sexually is very toxic and misogynistic.

And yes, surprisingly (for you), it is completely possible (and common) for male best friends to be hung up on the other if they lose them. It is genuinely disgusting to twist grieving into something romantic.

Platonic relationships can be just as strong, if not, stronger than romantic ones. Because platonic relationships can be pushed further into sibling-hood.

Genuinely shameful. It’s like these people have never experienced a strong friendship. And to turn an anime that solely focuses on friendship and teamwork into something entirely else—seriously?

Leave the characters and the story be. It’s embarrassing.

[that-sure-is-a-person]

Don’t you just hate it when you search up your favourite character from a tv show and literally every post is really gross smut… especially when that character IS A LITERAL CHILD!

[maddiviner]

Atlantis isn't real. Say it with me now in your outside voice. ATLANTIS IS NOT REAL. If you spout off about Atlantis in relation to your "ancient secret teachings,” you need to check your sources a little better.

[offtorivendell]

Because apparently this needs to be explicitly stated. Again. "Elriels" have never said that Illyria as a whole was irrelevant to the plot going forward. To insinuate this suggests you read all of our posts in bad faith.

It would make exactly zero sense to ignore a land that forms such a large chunk of the Night Court; the land from which three of the main characters hail. The land about which Elriels have also theorised, mind you, in terms of its people and powers. Elriels discussing Illyria isn't new, although the ideas posted today were in that they haven't been mentioned publicly before - though I remember when @wingedblooms suggested this a couple of years ago now, and it appears she may be right!

What we have said was that:

Azriel didn't need to make nice with the society that stood by and allowed him to be abused for a decade of his childhood, which let all three bat boys' mothers be treated abysmally, in order to complete his character arc.

Dealing with any lingering rebels, and putting work into progressing homegrown attitudes towards women and other minorities would have to come after the intergalactic death gods have been dealt with.

It might even be part of any future books, beyond this trilogy.

If that is facilitated by a magical rot* being removed from the land in the process of Koschei and others being defeated, as @wingedblooms and @silverlinedeyes suggested, then it doesn't change anything that Elriels have said about Azriel and his relationship with his homeland or people, or what we have previously theorised in terms of the plot.

* This magical rot is also a much more extensive issue (as in the magic itself, not the way women etc are treated in SJM's Illyria, that absolutely needs to change), in that there are more barren and/or rotting lands that will likely be revived. Hybern. The Hewn City. The Middle. The Prison. Spring! Multiple lands will be reborn.

[rosetterer]

These buddie Stan's are embarrassing.

How are you begging for representation and now we finally get it in buck being bisexual and his relationship with Tommy and people bullying the actor and hateful comments under tommy and buck picture. I think we officially lost the plot. And it's safe to say these people never where giving a fuck about representation they just want 2 men they find hot kiss each other that's all.

Sorry for the rant but it's official my breaking point and I get second hand embarrassment from that fandom.

I'm right there with you. Feeling disappointed rn...
