Three seasons and still so many people are still weird (and high key misogynistic) about Ginny Miller. If it's not berating her for an attitude that was crafted in response to her unstable home life (something in which the same people who hate on her for, will turn around praise Georgia for every little thing even though she played a role in Ginny's trials), or framing her as self centered for not noticing others, such as Marcus's or even Max's mental health....even though the show, not only, shows her reaching out but also discusses how invisible mental illness can be at times, especially to those who are good at hiding it.

If she's to blame for Marcus's mental health, then so are his parents (who aren't getting talked about enough to me), Max due to not noticing until some point around in s2, Abby for not communicating with Max, Georgia for not telling Ellen about the bottles, and so on so forth. See how all the examples I listed are outlandish? That's the same with this rhetoric around Ginny, especially when she was one of the first to clock Abby's ED. And then there's the framing of her turning Marcus against Max, as if she has any control over his actions or that he's not his own person. Like, yeah sure, this female character is responsible for how this male character is acting, that makes perfect sense. This also plays into how some people have more sympathy for Max this season (which is fine, understandable), but were ready to crucify Ginny in the same breath for something that was blown out of proportion. It's also very telling that she's receiving more blame for the ANG breakup, as if, again, she has any control over Abby and Norah, and as if she led the charge. While I don't think either of the three were intentionally trying to leave Max out of everything, it's important to note that Abby and Norah played their parts as well. From downplaying/not adhering to Max's emotions when she shows how this affects her (Norah and Abby), to being kind of rude whenever she tries to discuss it (Abby). And while I don't think either Abby or Norah should receive hate, as they are teenage girls who were going through a lot this season that clouds how they act, I'm also not going to pretend that they aren't given more grace and justifications for their actions, especially Abby, in comparison to Ginny. I do think Ginny's line to Max at the party felt out of character, especially when she was shown to want to include Max and work on their friendship, I can admit that. However, some people are taking that line and are talking a little too strongly, saying that Ginny should be "grateful" that anyone ever gave her the time of day, as if that's how friendship should operate (it's not) or that she's a bitch and so on. It's getting really weird, because I hardly see anyone say that about Abby, who's been Max's friend since childhood. It's just very telling how much flak Ginny gets for every little thing in comparison to her (mostly yte too) counterparts. Anyways, Ginny Miller, they could never make me hate you.

"In hindsight, Max thinks, they perfectly Checo-ed him."

In the middle of the 2024 Formula One Season, Checo announces that he's joining the newest team on the track, Expensify APX-GP.

Behold, the Chestappen in the weird F1-RPF movie fic.

Tagging @formulanni as requested! 🫡

Both for those who may have missed it, and because discussion about Penelope being characterized as only Odysseus's caretaker has been a thing discussed by my mutuals/on my own mind a lot lately. Here's a snippet from the most recent chapter of 'lead me back to you' that's definitely not relevant to that discussion at all. 👀

In the Pre-Quali show, Will Buxton and James Hinchcliffe discussed the team orders controversy from today's sprint. I agreed with some of what they were saying, but at the same time I felt they were being a bit too harsh in the way the talked about it. Commentators are allowed too be opinionated, of course, but I was curious to see if anyone else was a bit put off by this, or if I'm just being irrational/oversensitive(sry in advance for it being four mins lol)

Why am I starting to commonly see some puritanical bullshit in form of esoteric speech? People talking about how having casual sex or having multiple partners “disrupts your own energy because many other energies entering your body will mess with yours” or how having sex with someone forms a “soul tie” and how that’s “giving a piece of yourself away”. Why the hell is purity culture and slut-shaming being repackaged as spirituality? Like, I completely get not being someone who finds casual sex appealing, but why does it have to come with the shaming of people who do?

i could research this instead of asking tumblr but also it’s a niche ass question so idk what google would even have to offer me…

does anyone know if there’s like. a reason i shouldn’t buy that hydrophobic spray the girlies get for their uggs and spray it on the inside of my shirts? like does it only work on suede? is it bad to be coming in regular skin contact with? any reason that it would be a bad idea really.

or like. if any other sweaty folk have tried this what were the results?

ok I hate to be that guy but it lowkey gets on my nerves when people are like “omfg look at this [character x character] scene!” or “new [character x character] art from the creator!!!!” And it’s literally just them standing next to each other

[dirtbra1n]

whats your favorite era/season for wincest getting together

i don't have a particular preference when it comes to reading etc. because i think it can work for a variety of different reasons at many different points and within many different circumstances particular to whatever someone might want to think about or explore in an explicitly romantic or sexual context especially if you're doing it as more so an extension of their plutonic or familial dynamic or as something more separate, but personally, i prefer the former and i can see it happening during the later-seasons! particularly over the course of season eleven into season twelve with a bit of a precursor in earlier-season nine, specifically between 9.02 and 9.08 and some conflict about it relating to the moc in season ten. in my head, by the time mary tells them she's been working with the bmol it'd be established

something something the autonomy context of post-trials sam both in terms of gadreel and what sam's motivations behind the trials were and the headspace that leaves him with + the events of season ten and sam's assimilation into dean's ideal of their relationship/Sammy. there's also the particular conflict between dean and amara (+ sam and lucifer but that's secondary to dean in the idea of their relationship) and the way the dynamic foils sam and dean's that would 'affect' the progression of an idea of their relationship beyond one that's plutonic. also the way sam responds to it in 11.13‚ as much as it is a nonexploration of anything related to sam 🙄 i consider it as having context relating to his and lucifer's relationship as well as his many other experiences with autonomy violation and his understanding of it so i think it would be slow going or sporadic due to both their respective conflicts until season twelve <3

I love giving my psychiatrist pause when I tell her that, no, I don't have a five year plan. I don't even have a one year plan. Hell, I barely have a one month plan.

I’m not trying to be a prick but there’s a lot of video essays in which the analytical work would, imo, benefit from examining the economical writing style and clarity of something like Dan Olson’s body of work.
