#ALSO YOU ARE DEFFO BEING RACIST

[evansbby]

bro now it’s actually pizsing me off the hate this poor young woman is getting for playing Juliet in some random play in London like not even a Hollywood movie but a random play 😭😭

[ppppxseur]

characters that i believe are black

what are my qualifications you may ask? i'm black. thats it those are my qualifications

also if i see a single comment about "blackwashing" i will lose my SHIT, i swear to god

also theres no fandom order for this so good luck trying to figure out what's coming next

MINA ASHIDO (MY HERO ACADEMIA)

she breakdances, she's spunky, she's energetic. she's deffo one of those black girls who wears cookie monster pajama pants to school and adopts shy kids cuz she doesn't have that type of shame

like... need i make myself clear enough?

also she definitely has some sort of vitiligo

IZUKU MIDORIYA (MY HERO ACADEMIA)

i mean... he has no father. horikoshi practically screamed in my face that this kid is black as fuck.

he deffo cant cook tho, which i like to think is something that bakugou teases him relentlessly for

also this boy is tenderheaded as fuck and cries when mina does his hair

LUCINDA (APHMAU MCD/MYSTREET)

LOOK AT HER. look me in the eyes and tell me RIGHT now that that is not an albino black woman

you cant, im simply correct on everything

god i miss my girl. lucinda you deserve the world and you deserve all of the screentime and i cannot believe that bitch aaron SNATCHED the screentime that was rightfully yours

THE STRILONDES (HOMESTUCK)

"but do you mean all of-" YES. ALL OF THEM. they are all black and they are all jewish hussie told me so himself, argue with the GODDAMN wall.

ARADIA / DAMARA MEGIDO (HOMESTUCK)

my favorite weird girl <3

"but the megidos are asi-" WHY ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE. SHUT UP.

first of all the fact that damara's typing quirk was just Straight Up Japanese (and not even GOOD japanese either) is NOT the best fucking look if you want to potray another race. but also people can be biracial that is a thing and i hc the megidos as being blasian.

there is everyone happy? good now lets keep going

NEPETA / MEULIN LEIJON (HOMESTUCK)

(my second favorite weird girl)

(my THIRD favorite weird girl)

i dunno. theyre my faves. i love them. therefore they are black. i feel like i dont need much explanation other than that

KARKAT / KANKRI VANTAS (HOMESTUCK)

ugh. the thing that sucks about ones with family (or... i guess in the trolls case, the closest thing of "family" you can get) is that you have to make them all the same race or otherwise you have to explain the weird shit

kankri is lightskinned and uses his white passing privilege for evil.

also before you even THINK about trying to pass off white vantas: LOOK at their fucking storyline. just LOOK at it.

(before i move on from homestuck, i just wanna mention a quick side note: i didnt include gamzee or kurloz for one Very Obvious reason and thats the fact that, just like damara and her incredibly broken and bad Japanese as hussie's horrendous attempts to include other races in homestuck, i simply believe that the notion of all purple bloods being naturally incredibly violent is Not A Good Look. especially adding in that the only reason why gamzee is pacified is because he's doing the troll equivalent of hard drugs. and you can make an argument because... well.. what about kurloz? and to that my response would be WHAT ABOUT HIM? because i dont remember dick diddly and SQUAT about him and i dont really care.

so yeah i didnt include the makaras because while i do believe they are black i dont believe theyre the best representation because the only reason why people think that is because of the incredibly racist undertones of it)

ANYWAY i'm doing ONE more because this thread is already so goddamn long

POPPY AND VIVA (TROLLS)

the silliest girls possibly in the entire universe. i think they're black and hispanic mixed (im thinking maybe dominican or cuban)

ANYWAY! end of this long ass fucking thread. i cant believe my first fucking post on this account was this monster of a thread

anyway, follow me if you like any of these fandoms ig

[sea-buns]

not really, but I suppose that’s just a difference of opinion. I do think that gorgug’s nightmare sequence was one of the weakest, especially with how it shifted topics (being dead, small spaces, not being able to escape a stereotype, because if any of these had been expanded on that would’ve been great), but I do think a lot of gorgug’s character revolves around feeling in-between, or too much one thing and not another and trying to close that gap. The best one for me was deffo the sphinx tho, I interpreted it as not *just* about him being dumb, but rather like. You’re big and dumb and strong and your main job is getting angry and hitting shit with an axe. You went to a community of gnomes and they gave you a better axe, and you loved it. You are uniquely dumb, unlike those who have come before you, because you cannot solve a specific kind of puzzle while a sphinx talks at you. You are the reason your parents cut contact, and from the beginning you were unsuited for their home. Your extended family predicted that you would grow to know only rage, and here you are, a barbarian. You, from this perspective, are not proving them wrong.

I do think that that whole sequence does reveal that he’s afraid of like. Being that stereotype? And then going yeah sure I’m stupid eat me, then moving forward and clawing your way into understanding anyways

Ahhh I see. Yeah I think I did misunderstand your first ask a bit lol

I did really love a lot of the topics his sequence brought up. Like I've read some incredibly well-written fanfics that covered the ways that claustrophobia, and imposter syndrome, and being dead have affected him. But like you said, if they had just honed in on at least one, rather than hopping back and forth, it could have done so much for that section. Cuz, personally, I don't feel like we saw Gorgug be significantly affected by any of those. At least not in a way that felt complete and satisfying.

I really like what you said about his character being "in-between". I totally agree. Kinda circles back to how his parents trying to help him calm his rage was actually stifling him.

Your family needs you to calm down; you've broken another bedchairdoorappliance. Your teacher wants you to rage; he says anger is good but you don't understand. You sing to try and calm yourself, you're always trying to be kind to others; they only use it to hurt you more and all you can do is get angry back. Your friends need you to rage. You don't have the power to protect them socially, but this you can do. You try not to rage outside of a fight, but.... they don't seem to be that bothered when you do. In fact, you watch them provoke physical confrontation when they're mad on many occasions.

(Oops dipped a biiiit into the pot of how important friendship is to his character. Did not mean to lol it's just one of my fav things about him so it's kinda subconscious I guess)

But yeah! He's also in such a limbo this season as well! You can't do this you're too angry, you're not smart enough for that, you don't rage right.

Also realllyy like your interpretation of his trial. The angle you described it at was really interesting.

I don't think stereotype is the right word, though. I would say... he's afraid of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy? I'm assuming based on your own "stereotype?" that you weren't sure about the word either.

I don't think Gorgug is, or would ever be, afraid of being a "stereotype". Like I don't think he gives a shit about the stereotype that orcs/half-orcs/barbarians only know anger and destruction. I think he's afraid of being a self-fulfilling prophecy of all the things people say that he is. Stupid, mindless, destructive, etc. To pull from what you said here (which it wont let me copy paste on mobile god fucking damnit)

"Your extended family predicted that you would grow to know only rage, and here you are, a barbarian. You, from this perspective, are not proving them wrong."

"Stereotype" for sure applies to his racist extended family. They fucking breathe stereotypes like oxygen. But the bit where his afraid of becoming what everyone says he is, I think "self-fulfilling prophecy" suits that much better. He believes he can be more than that, he knows he can, but it doesn't change the fact that they are technically right.

Okay and the giving in but then "clawing your way into understanding anyways" actually goes so hard lol. Anon, you are so right. From that pov, it's not so much a give up as it is an acknowledgment before he essentially puts the subject on ice.

Rings back a bit to the start of fhjy to me. That dread of seeing the email of school starting back up again, and the terrible sinking pit in your stomach of avoidance, because the time has come to really unpack all that. There was something specific Zac said in his little Gorgug recap before the season started that was about, like, the dread of having to figure out who the fuck you're gonna be when everyone around you seems to have their shit together. That. That hit hard lmao but the experience that he's covered is very true to Gorgug, I think.

I totally misunderstood your first ask! Though I'm happy you sent another cuz I understand a lot better, I think. And tbh I've never had the opportunity to discuss that section of fantasy high with anyone? I wasn't on tumblr or watching d20 when it first aired so I missed these specific topics. Always been v interested in what others thought of his part. Maybe I should put the vods on in the bg next time I'm play sdv. Give em a relisten. And man. The fact that I'm out here quoting your message brings me back to english class so hard. Shocked I don't hate it. Actually having a topic you give half a shit about does wonders huh lmao

Thanks for the ask! You have altered my perspective and I appreciate it. It's like how sometimes you gotta read something out loud to understand it. If all I have is the walls of my own skull, I can only get so far.

[fedoraspooky]

I saw that you got into Felix cartoons lately, and I'm curious: have you watched any of the others besides Twisted Tales? What do you think of them? Also, did you know there used to be a live-action Barney-esque TV show for kids that had Felix and a koala as costumed characters?

Have I??

Oh Anon... sweet Anon. *puts my hand on your shoulder* Trust me, I am fighting the urge to become an unskippable cutscene about this as we speak. I'm losing, by the way.

But yes, I have seen... not all of it, but quite a lot, and I'll try not to write a whole novel! Key word being "try". .w.; You... might regret this actually, I'm sorry.

Starting with the 1920s cartoons: aside from the problems inherent in being a product of its time (*cough*racist caricatures*cough*), these shorts were a fun watch! Lots of surreal humor and visual gags. Felix was a scrappy lil' guy back then- stealing fish, getting into fights and getting drunk on several occasions. He didn't have his magic bag 'til the 50s, so he had to get a lot more crafty in using his environment or his own body parts (stuff like pulling off his tail and using it as a tool) to get out of trouble- and if all else failed he'd throw fists or pull a gun. XD Most importantly, he'd run away on all fours when scared, I just thought that was a cute detail. This is probably my favorite version of the character outside of Twisted Tales!Felix. (and the best part is this version of him is public domain now! Yay, free real estate!)

The 30's cartoons: There were only three of these. Idk, I don't have much to say other than they were cute and I enjoyed them. He's deffo more Mickey Mouse-like here, personality-wise.

The 50s cartoon series: This is probs the version of Felix most people seem familiar with- it introduces the magic bag (mostly as a time-saving measure since this show is DEFFO on a budget) and most of the supporting cast that have appeared in stuff since then (the Professor, Rock Bottom, Poindexter, etc). I didn't think I'd like it that much going in, but it kinda grew on me a little bit- primarily due to how janky the animation is, the stilted voice acting, and how out of left field the plots tend to get... It has a lot of what I like to call "naturally occurring shitpost moments". Ngl I've been tempted to make a compilation for funsies, much like I did with 80s Astro Boy... XD That said, it has its charm. Just a warning though, this WAS made in the 50s so be prepared for more "product of its time" moments in some episodes. .w.;

Felix the Cat: The Movie (1988): WHOOO IS THE BOSS? THE DUKE OF ZILL, OF COURSE~ Okay so, this movie? Idk if I'd call it a good movie, but it's definitely strange and entertaining. I watched the hell out of it as a kid and this was the very first animated Felix thing I had ever seen, so I can't really be impartial due to how nostalgia-poisoned I am about it. XD I liked the songs- even the ones that had no reason to be there, like the one that's about the foxes that only show up to piss on Felix and leave. We have a strange attempt at rebooting Master Cylinder as an invention of a bad guy from another dimension instead of being an evil robot guy from space? Felix laughs at the skeleton of someone who got crushed to death in a gold mine and blows a raspberry at it. There's... gyrating lady fish, and a swamp monster that shouts Marlon Brando quotes. The movie starts and ends with a giant disembodied floating 3D felix head... He saves a princess?? I guess??? There's just a lot that happens here.

Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat (90s): This one is obvs my favorite of the whole bunch. I know, I know, blazing hot take. It does a good job mixing in the fun surrealness of the 20s cartoons, and he goes back to doing stuff like taking the top of his head off like a hat and using body parts as tools instead of just solving everything with the magic bag (in fact it lampshades that a lot in season 2). It has more humor than just puns (Stares ominously at Felix Saves Christmas) though it does have some of those too (he even gets arrested for it at one point), and most of all it gives him an actual personality aside from "good boy Mickey Mouse clone but also kinda sassy sometimes" (once again staring ominously at Felix Saves Christmas I will get to you later!!). If you only have time to ever watch one Felix cartoon series in your whole life, make it this one.

Baby Felix (2000s) - I'll be real with ya chief I haven't watched this one aside from like one episode. From what I saw... eh, it was okay. I'm not usually a fan of the trend of cartoons having series of the baby/kid versions of themselves outside of a few exceptions (like A Pup Named Scooby and Muppet Babies, but idk that might just be nostalgia talkin'). Apparently he shows up as an adult sometimes in this show and helps out his baby self, which somehow doesn't cause a horrible time paradox? Idk I might watch more of it later, it CANT be worse than the next one, which is... sigh...

Felix Saves Christmas (2004) - This movie is not good. I went in expecting it not to be, and it met my expectations. Is it horrible? I kinda wish it was, so it would've been more entertaining that way at least. Mostly, it's just kinda boring. The humor is puns, and sometimes signs that say a goofy thing on it. It's got music, including a four and a half minute long song that just repeats the lyrics "Snow kids rock, snow kids rule, snow kids... are cool" while said snow kids do extreme sports in looping animations. Most of this movie feels like it's just padding for time so it can be marketed as a movie- if you edited out everything that wasn't relevant to the plot or the main characters, you'd probably have a 20 minute special. Idk it's just sad that this is the last animated felix media we've had in 20 years, since it doesn't look like dreamworks/universal is gonna do anything with him- they're just kinda sitting on the rights. There WAS a comic that came out since then, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it to read it. Maybe one day when I have money. XD ;

ALSO YES, I actually saw that live action show you were talking about! It's not a cartoon, but heck with it i'll throw in my thoughts anyway since we're already here.

Felix the Cat Live (70s): So I found this on youtube while poking around, and I gave a few episodes a watch because I was surprised by the novelty of this even being a thing that existed. Felix doesn't really act like any prior versions of himself here, he's just kind of a nice friendly kid show host who gives the kid characters advice about stuff. The costume itself isn't too bad, though his body's kinda lacking shape- it's kinda just black jammies with a big ol head on top. Interestingly they gave him a red bow tie with white polka dots and his eyes always look a lil sleepy because they're partially-lidded- probably to give him a 'softer' appearance. Also the koala is kind of like a weird proto-Rosco? At least personality-wise. I don't know if he's in anything else. Over all a strange watch, deffo the most obscure thing on this list.

...

So anyway! That's all my thoughts, Anon, I hope this was everything you ever wanted and that you don't wish you never asked me about the funni rubberhose cat. XD ;;

✨Out of context lines shitpost Pt. 8✨

Part 7

Quo: This is it... our last day of childcare course. And... *sighs* I'm getting choked up. I met @mispeltnostalgia and got to know her well through this course and she's been the best irl fanfic buddy and older brother despite being a year younger than me ever.

Nog: These out of context things have made me so happy and its fun to look back and remember the funny shit that we have said and done this year. this deffo won't be the last though. Quo and I will forever be saying and doing stupid shit. Quo is the best little sister ever and while I'll miss our fridays together she cant get rid of me. I know too many of her fanfics and she's beta-ing my works.

Quo: You beta-ed a couple of mine too!

We'll still be posting the out of context lines, but there are going to be longer gaps since we're not gonna meet on Fridays anymore :( There's still our weekly study sessions that we dubbed TEAS on Wednesday!

You watch invisible? 🫂 the hype deffo fell off cause of the pointless mid season break after like 3 eps 😒 (well atleast on twt) That fight scene with kate rex and the green lady (forgot her name- see this hiatus was a bad choice) had me gripped like I did not expect the ending. Also I just wanna give Amber a hug like babygirl been through a lot on her own. Her and mark are cute and I like how theyve developed from s1 (tho she was valid in her reason y she was upset w mark- ugh the amount of racist bile that was being said was infuriating #defending amber bennett online isnt enough I need a gun). Also yh Ik from the comics who ends up tgt, but ima be delusional hoping that doesnt happen. #blasia UP periodt

#blasia up please. amber, yet another character that gets dogpiled because she's black. like you can think she's annoying but the criticism has a certain...flavour. this is why im personally not a fan of when they race bend characters. because amber's fate is to be the disposable black girlfriend.

I need to rewatch the 1st season and read the comics. I do enjoy it and it's a shame they're killing its hype with all these gaps...

[butchbarbieagainstterfs]

Would you be willing to analyze this post? This is not like how my PCOS was diagnosed at all and feels like PCOS and other intersex conditions are being used as a talking point here. I'm nonbinary myself, but I don't support using my chronic illness as "proof" of whatnot about gender. I had to start taking birth control to stop having a period 24/7, and my hormones had been so out of balance due to PCOS that taking birth control finally helped me make progress with my mental disorders that were impossible to lessen while my PCOS was untreated.

-I don’t know all that much about PCOS but yeah I have never heard of it being diagnosed in that way. If it is in some places, that sounds like malpractice which is a definite possibility, malpractice happens, but still.

-the race specific diagnostic tools aren’t something I’m going to touch on here really bc I’m white and I feel like analysing that part would be better suited to someone who is not.

-they’re definitely misrepresenting that quote about there supposedly not being a “normal” natural testosterone range in afab people. It seems like doctors do view there as being one, they just don’t necessarily know the specific range it needs to be in for it to cause adverse health issues. EDIT: someone else has said there isn’t in fact not really a “normal” natural range for afab folk, so perhaps I’ll do more research into it. I’m deffo open to being wrong here and learning new information :)

-the gender binary is racist but this isn’t also isn’t really gender binary, this would be more sex binary and bioessentialism. Which are equally racist from what I’ve read, but I digress.

-I feel like this person is a well-meaning dyadic but yeah I don’t think some of her sources seem to be saying what she thinks they are tbqh. She’s deffo misunderstanding and misrepresenting some things here.

-anyway @ everyone, if you’re going to talk about a condition that you don’t have, please please talk to people with the condition first if you can and please be very careful about how you represent information about the condition.

[trans-mephisto]

You know, I have been thinking latley and.....

Arthur and Rin would be lile the perfect dream team if it wouldn't be for Arthur's racist and borderline genocidal tendencies with demons.

Just hear me out :

Both Arthur and Rin are known for not being the smartest of the bunch. They tend to get very excited abt stuff they enjoy and are very stuborn too. They basically share the same core personality !

Arthur with his claymore has a fighting style more focused on slow, but powerfull attacks. During a fight he moves in rather large heaps at a time. Rin's fighting style is very agile. While his flames allow him to exercise strikes of enormous strenght too, he usually uses smaller/"weaker" heaps with his sword in relative quick succsession.

If we combine those we have Rin able to confuse and distracting a demon bit his more agile fighting style while Arthur can prepare and deal out stronger slashes.

Not to mention what they could do combined. Imagine a blue flame powered Angel Slash.

Returning to their personalities and going away from their fighting abilities, Arthur would the the rock Rin needs in his life. I mean, it's pretty obvious Rin felt kinda lonley after Shiro's passing and struggeled a fair bit with self worth.

He couldn't really rely on Yukio for mental support and he didn't wanna put stuff on his friends. Arthur could be an ear to listen for Rin. Meanwhile Rin would be the thing loosening Arthur up a bit.

He'd show the older that orders aren't everything and props would teach him some social cues by pure proximity.

Not to forget that I am CONVIDENCED that a good chunk of Arthur's problems in the mental department could be solved if they just gave him an apprentice or student to take care of an teach.

Saint Complex and comming off as too princey ? Having a kid around that would look up to Arthur could easily satisfie atleast some of that complex.

Too sadistic/too little empathy for others ? Well kids need a lot of emotion. If Arthur got attached to it he'd deffo naturally get better in that whole empathy department due to pure neccesity.

Too easily manipulatable ? Having someone to teach and look after would deffinitly decrease the amout on time he spends with the Uzais.

Rin who already has a similar personality with Arthur would deffinitly see the blonde getting genuinly attached if we ignore the Spawn of Satan side of things.

Sadly, Arthur was manipulated into being a borderline demonic genocidal maniac by the Uzais 😭

Sorry it took so long to answer this, I've been busy

But I agree with basically all this. I've actually thought a lot about how similar Rin and Arthur are and how they seem kind of like reflections of each other, like Arthur is just how Rin would probably be if he actually was raised as a weapon and not like a son. I also feel like a lot of Arthur's hate towards demons is definitely hammered in by his family, since he doesn't even have an issue with Caliburn (seeing as he actually will hold conversation with her and actually cares enough to wrap her up when its cold, which is cute lol) and he's best friends with Lightning who is obviously a demon fanatic who enjoys seeing and researching demons

The way he seems to almost seem more like a child when Jeremiah comes into the story (how he gets sensitive around his brother and whined about how he wanted to fight in the battle against Satan because Jeremiah said he could) really shows how deep the manipulation goes honestly. I almost wonder if he's scared to go against whatever Jeremiah says sometimes

But if Arthur was able to have that character development I could really see him having an older brother sort of bond with Rin. They're so similar and I feel like they could relate and work together both battle wise and friendship wise pretty well, if that ever were to happen

It'd be cool seeing em fight together too, hopefully if Arthur DOES live and gets his redemption we could see something like that in the manga. It'd be so cool

Plus, I know Yukio wasn't mentioned here, but he has said he likes Yukio despite being a son of Satan as well, so he definitely isn't 100% clouded by his hatred for demons so it could be a possibility still that he can just. Learn to stop being such a dick to Rin if he gets hit with some common sense

But yeah, I enjoy reading your asks and I think most (if not all) of Arthur's issues stem from being manipulated by Jeremiah and the Uzai family. Hopefully he learns to be his own person sometime. I already like a lot of his character so I'd love to see an arc about him :]

[caladamn]

I'm not even gonna venture onto DR twitter rn cause I know the Plane hate will piss me off. Like... I completely understand not liking what she said or agreeing with it! But it pisses me off when people call someone racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic (you get the idea) for no reason when whatever they said just doesn't warrant that reaction?? I don't know much about Chappell and I'm sure she's a lovely woman, and PJ deffo (just for her own sake tbh) shouldn't have posted that cause, well... we now know how people react and she probs should have just sat in silence with it for a while longer (also idk if i'm not understanding fully, but did pj say she's heard some drag queens say that chappell is rude or did that not happen? cause i've only seen one screenshot of plane talking about it, but some are saying that PJ said that other drag queens have had been interactions with Chappell) ANYWAY, sorry for this ask - you don't have to answer it cause its so messy and all over the place lmao but it genuinely rubs me the wrong way... I think most of the people getting super angry over what she said are people that don't like pj, haven't from the start, and just kinda followed along with the overall fanbase when they started opening up to her, and they've been waiting for something to set them off (cause i remember people being set off during the lip sync smackdown episode when pj joked about amanda and quite a few people started calling her a bully again on twitter) i think everyone should just take a deep breath like i understand why people are mad or annoyed but it's the people REALLY going in on her that are pissing me all the way off like... fucking relax you're acting like she said something horrific

i 100% agree anon !

at first I was mostly annoyed by the fact that people just blew everything completely out of proportion (imo-- cause I really don't understand how "I don't vibe with this person" becomes "I think this person and everyone similar to this person is not valid"- ???). but then they started calling pj things that she's clearly not (there's multiple videos of her saying she loves women and lesbians, hello?). and I somewhat understand why seeing someone who's a white cis gay man being skeptical of a lesbian artist feeds into the narrative of gay men excluding queer women from queer spaces--- but that's literally not what pj did. and you're right, she did mention that she heard from local queens that had worked with chappell in the past that she wasn't the nicest (not sure how true this is, but if that's what she heard who am i, or anyone, to deny that).

and the worst part is that now they're using this to bring up past FALSE allegations against her. it's pretty obvious atp that these people don't actually care to defend the reason this whole discourse started for, they just want pj cancelled and gone. I've literally seen people just go on and on about how shitty of a person (they think) she is instead of defending lesbians or queer women who do drag. they don't care about queer women.

also, everyone's entitled to an opinion (!). all pj did was give her (albeit uninformed/incorrect) opinion/criticism on chappell. she never talked about lesbians as a whole. and even if she did. WHO CARES. there's more important things in the world and a person's opinion is not going to change anything or have any true impact on anyone's life. this is such stupid discourse imo.

you don’t have to answer to this if you don’t want to and I know ur inbox is full of this but the rudy and madison situation is frustrating and it comes as unprofessional for so many reasons.

we don’t know what went down between them. i have my own theories about this being more personal than just fans shipping them. actors deal with real life shipping while being on personal relationships all the time. this isn’t new. they must have prepared for this. i could name so many examples of actors being shipped and still doing their job just fine. it’s clear rudison are not best friends anymore, and the shipping to some degree affected their real life relationships. the vibes weren’t as weird on s2 but you could still feel it. something for sure happened during s3 because from being bffs to polite friendly coworkers and then to not even want to stand next to each other or look at each other that’s such a crazy thing. you would expect that level of weirdness from chase and madelyn but they were pretty professional. media outlets were probably hoping for interviews with them since it brings views and to the point it affects your job is unprofessional. I wonder what are madison and rudy teams or managements thoughts on this madness. stopping each others bag and for what exactly?

now there’s the gf working on set issue. and i do believe this affects the work. while i think rudison did amazing this season. it lacked the natural banter they would provide that we know it’s was mostly unscripted. ur gf being on set while you try to do a romantic scene must be uncomfortable especially if the online shipping affected them in real life. i don’t know if there’s insecurity there from his gf (who’s a racist btw). i won’t comment on that. however, it does ring alarms that she has avoided tagging madison in obx content on her own ig acc when she’s supposedly their *official* photographer. she avoided tagging both of them in the jiara beach pic while she did so for the other pairings/cast. (here). she also didn’t post a kie portrait in her poguelandia stories when there was a kie pic taken by her released in the event she could’ve posted to include her (here). i think she deffo saw those critics because then she started including her more. to me, that screams *conflict of interest*. if your boyfriend (or you) have problems w her then you shouldn’t work on set. regardless, rudy is a grown man and he should know that this doesn’t look good on him in the professional side. personal issues shouldn’t reflect on your work. you’re an actor. i think madison is actually trying so the problem isn’t her she evens mentions him and tries to compliment his scenes so like is a HIM issue.

anyways, i don’t care as long as it doesn’t affect their work or jiara moving forward but it has been disappointing to see how jiaras canon era has been like this because they (HE) don’t seem to want to put the differences aside for this one. the bag they could’ve made if they promoted jiara. the more they act like this, the more people wonder what happened and that’s not a good look nor does it quiets the rumors and allegations. don’t know if u saw he accidentally liked madisons photo dump from s3 and unliked,,, that doesn’t help his case at all. (here)

yes.

as far as i know manchester united is being carried by the foreigners. martinez, garnacho, casemiro, de gea..... meanwhile the english players like maguire are terrible. manchester united is nothing without the foreigners. sad

idk why ur calling them the foreigners or think it’s sad that non english players are playing well but yet here you are (u are sounding very racist icl)

saying all the english players are bad and then only naming maguire who we all know isn’t the best is really just ???? ur forgetting that wan bissaka, rashford, shaw, mainoo and sancho are all english

and the thing is yes i’m a very big maguire critic both for his performance on and off the pitch but recently he hasn’t been as bad as we’ve seen him in the past he’s still awful by united captain standards don’t get me wrong but he has slightly improved

also ur trying to diminish the fact that the players from other countries are not as good as those from england by saying that united is nothing without the foreigners and icl anon u deffo voted brexit bc there’s absolutely nothing wrong w non english players thriving at the highest level when the talent pool for english players isn’t always the best

there’s a reason why despite the teams england have had, it’s been fucking ages since they won something bc ik ur going to hate this anon but english players aren’t always the best!!!! obviously they are good but other countries are better!!

and if u seriously have a problem w english players not thriving at united, don’t call urself a united fan and go support some club that’s just full of absolutely stinky gammons like urself!!

mac allister has really disappointed me with his statement about enzo’s and his other teammates’ racist chants. it’s giving gaslighting as in “europeans are so sensitive it’s just a song” like what? even is it’s ‘just a song’ to you argentinians it’s racist to the rest of the world. accept your “mistake” and apologise. talking about oh he apologised. lmao that was a ‘here damn’ apology if i’ve ever seen one. no remorse. what’s still messing with me is the fact that they sang that song and didn’t even play against france??? 💀 likeeee black people are on your mind that much? also argentina is such a racist country but argentinians are so consumed in their racism that they don’t realise it. this may be a silly silly point but have you guys everrrr seen a black person play for argentina 😀. macca should’ve just shut up. ignored the question if it came up. even if he’s not a racist himself he’s a racist apologist and i don’t rate him highly anymore. i mean did he also forget he has black teammates? in fact a black african french teammate? smh macca. i hope the best for our preseason cause…and middle finger to you still enzo 🖕🥰

- a disappointed yet again 🥸 anon

Aaa I am sorry for this late response, this message got lost in my inbox 😭

I was very disappointed but not surprised by the Argentina NT reaction to the criticism they received. I honestly kinda knew what Macca would say if he said something. Same as I knew Messi, the respected face of Argentine and world football would never say anything. Was honestly so stupid of Macca to say anything after he got lucky and wasn’t pictured on that damn bus (let’s be real, he would’ve been singing if he was on it!).

If we remove the racist and transphobic elements, yes it’s still so stupid to even sing that song when they won an AMERICAN competition omg. The way they always have the most to say about anything Mbappe says as well. It’s giving unhealthy obsession!!! What did France even do to you? They LOST to you?? Have you guys ever heard of the concept of being a graceful winner??

Anyway, back to the biggest issue of the actual lyrics those men have no problem singing. Answering your ask late means I can also say now that this issue seems to be already forgotten and no one received any consequences besides Enzo. He rightfully got the most heat as the poster and the one in front of the camera. With the added element of him actually having several French teammates of African descent.. But it annoys me so much that he was the only one that had to apologize (shittily!!). We’ll see how it will be when he returns to Chelsea. Poor Fofana for having to deal with more consequences of rightfully speaking out than the actual wrongdoers. I hope the French Football Federation manages to keep this alive and that there will be some punishment.

Anyway yes, my opinion of Macca is deffo low rn. I would love to know what Ibou thinks about this. Or the captain, whose mother was not born in Europe either.

Anyway re: all the racism & music posts I’ve been seeing,

I never get when other white ppl are offended at being called out for unconscious racist shit

Like. I’m autistic– I don’t understand race, conceptually, AND I’m white, AND I grew up in a town where a few families still have lawn jockeys. Like. Obviously I have stuff to unlearn?

I’m thankful for the people who complain about that shit bc it gives me stuff to think about– lets me know how I can improve.

Idk I’m just. I value the opportunity to learn when I’m wrong, be it overtly, accidentally, incidentally, whatever. Being wrong isn’t a moral failure unless you make it one. It’s an opportunity.

My reaction to someone going “ugh it’s so annoying when white people do this” isn’t to go “but I’m not racist tho how dare you say that” it’s to go “oh shit I never thought of that as being an issue bc I’ve never experienced being a racial minority. Deffo gonna keep that in mind now*”

Like. All these posts like “white peoples music tastes are too white” has me going “yeah this is true. I wanna listen to more nonwhite musicians” not like. Getting offended over it??? This isn’t even a case of something I DONT think about this is just an obvious thing?

I can appreciate when I find a nonwhite artist, but I can also understand that if I was asked to name 10 bands at random, my list would likely be fully or mostly white musicians bc that’s what’s mainstream and easy to remember unless they’re one of your favorite musicians. That’s not an ATTACK on me personally to say “your (your = white ppl as a whole) music tastes are overly white” that’s just factual.

I just. Idk I don’t get why people are so stubborn as to go “but I’m not racist just bc I don’t like rap” rather than “yeah good point op this is somethin I can improve wrt personally”

[notmuchtoconceal]

damn, bro.

i've been to exactly three parties in the last three months (a fairly optimal ratio, considering how few people talk at them) and at each one, a different straight guy got gay for me all by himself.

like, dude.

i'm just fuckin standin there, being friendly and receptive and open and maintaining frame, and like ... they just find themselves drawn to me and able to effortlessly pass all their tests and just feel themselves getting weaker for me the more i listen and the more they reveal their truth, for on some level -- they detect sanctity as well as sensuality and are drawn to me to confess, and like --

starting to think a main reason i could never be catholic is anonymous confessions to a church official has to be the most unerotic situation imaginable, oh my god. bro, there is just something so sexy about confession, i just can't put my finger on it.

the vulnerability. the need. the passion.

when you go into a photobooth to play pretend with your priest, while rattling off a litany of minor sins to keep up appearances, or worse -- being driven in for you have nowhere to go.

bam -- trap shut.

yeah, but anyway, i'm not even flirting with them. i'm not flirting with em, unless my openness and attraction constitutes a baseline receptivity they regard as flirting, but i don't. people are so fuckin weird about friendliness sometimes. bro, it's like they secretly hate affection more than they hate being judged, for they crave being judged -- needing to reaffirm their unworthiness, but simultaneously dreading the exposure.

some people, you try to build em up, or just interact with em with natural affection, they start to think you're their plaything and if their first instinct's to test for how much bullshit you're willing to take, don't give em any reason to be surprised for when the inevitable happens.

some people though, bro. some people really just need a sympathetic ear and someone who isn't appalled by what they got goin on inside.

case in point. back in october, an aggro, vaguely racist polish dude with blood all over his face (my favorite) kept getting way up in mine and it was the most delightful thing, the smile on his lips and in his eyes when i refused to be intimidated, chose to reveal to him his mirth.

i can't even remember how things started.

i've known this guy since high school. the dude i shared my locker with freshman year was also there. we've talked maybe once before this -- i think the year or two previous where my murderous detachment energy was through the roof and my sheer emotional unavailability turned all straight boys into wet, eager sons. oh my god. sometimes all i need to do is walk around in public as a giant callous and people will wanna rub their palms all over me. thank you, dumb jock hypno. thank you for making me lose the totally worthless intellectual considerations of brokenhearted fools who've deliberately given themselves to the shackles of an ideology for want of belonging. when joe rogan boys recognize me as their new daddy, that is an opportunity to give god's most perfect abortions some beautiful and much needed restructuring.

anyway, he brings up how long we've known each other and barely talked, and i agree. i usually show up at my friend's parties with one or both of my brothers, but i got here late and they left early, so i'm alone and we both notice the place is simp city, but also -- he's deffo down to be DL and don't wanna take the place over, but I'm not sure yet if I wanna manipulate myself into a front-facing or behind-the-scenes position in this elaborate and ultimately deterministic farce of a bunch of people who mostly know one person all in the same room with sugar and alcohol.

it's brainpower, mostly. do i have the energy to manipulate these simple animals and the simple needs which will be revealed to me, for all our intellects and souls are mutually oppressed by fear, and only by the light of truth may we mutually strive to become?

not right now, i decided.

i kinda just wanted to observe. i hadn't been out in awhile. i'd been insane. i sorta just wanted to hang out. have a drink, enjoy the atmosphere.

he then alludes to the obvious and unspoken nature of our mutual supremacy, and i've heard this from like five or six other people now, so i wonder if he's talkin about us both bein starseeds or some shit or if he's talkin about us bein whi-- oh, wait yeah. deffo that second thing, bro.

being insane, i now wonder when i stare in prolonged, barely-obvious-to-me-confusion (is it because i'm so naturally daddy, the PTSD or the dumb hypno? i have no fucking idea what signals you think i'm sending sometimes cause the nature of how you're intimidated by me scrambles my brain which is why I crave a safe, infinitely-compassionate Buddhist monk with a tight, wet, soft mouth who'll horse pet me til I'm sane again, but it's cool. I may be unsane, but I ain't undead. Life is beautiful, and scars reveal experience, the way all wounds inevitably compose a tight cunt you want my dick in) i sometimes wonder how much of my interior monologue is being telepathically transmitted to my non-recipient, how much of the dialogue is truly decipherable from my face, and how much is that other person's immediate retreat into their own experiences?

anyway, i think superior people are self-made. people who are truly superior seldom see themselves as superior, unless it's like -- a massive spike from the surrounding area. superiority comes from asserting and maintaining values derived from lived experiences, not arbitrary complexes. DNA is relevant, and we live in a time where its very nature is distorted not only by our fears of eugenics, but bad science reportage which stupidly oversimplifies the nature of genetics. he then says something to the effect of we must have an understanding even if we don't subscribe to the same ideology, and it's like...

everybody who posits an ideology to me is seldom willing to ask follow-up questions and seem to already think they already have me figured out, so that's interesting. i feel with most insecure minds, they can't handle the barrage of ambiguity, so they force themselves to adopt loser thinking because they need a stern and workable hypothesis before they not only act, but interact. it's like they don't know how to play it loose, or scout or find it uncomfortable to be in a recipient position, so every engagement becomes a plan of attack which is exhausting cause now it can always fail instead of simply reveal. i'm never sure what people think my ideology is. i've been accused of being a rugged individualist and a fascist and a degenerate and i do feel all three are an attempt to characterize my belief in personal autonomy, self-defense and my tendency to follow my own inclinations as somehow a bad thing.

this is followed-up (it could have also come before) with the confession that he has recurrent thoughts about committing violence against a certain group of people a shade or two darker. i don't immediately condemn him, because i know thoughts are thoughts. the important thing is that he's not acting on them. the important thing is that he's repulsed and horrified by these thoughts and has come to you begging to be judged. really, unless a person was born with their head screwed on wrong, it takes a significant amount of repeated abuse and neglect (or else prolonged alienation via hierarchical thinking) to drive someone to commit violence against others, for even if violence is fun -- most i feel would prefer to express it in constructive and beneficial ways.

It's after this that he shows me a picture of his black girlfriend (who I then remember I've also already met before) and it's like... yeah, man.

Sometimes being in a mixed-raced relationship is wacky. Your body is being pummeled daily with televised fear and division signals and every time you want to express your love for your woman, you have to self-consciously cross that racial boundary and reflect on all manner of mutual hidden motivations -- secret and accumulated tensions between friends and family, secret fears of never belonging or always being an outsider. The complexes you're mutually playing out, together and in isolation, for no matter how real your love may be, there might simply be things you're too ashamed to admit, even to each other. The ugly, nagging, unavoidable truth that though we're all affected by it, we're all complicit in it, too -- in countless more jagged and fragmentary ways to imagine, being the products of conlonizers and conolonized peoples living on stolen land itslf stained by numerous genocides. The true degree to which our way of life is illusory and our nation haunted.

Shit's rough, bro.

we then get take more shots, play jenga.

i cut loose and dance and eyes are on us and he's like, naw bro.

that's too much.

then i think he's leaving and talk to some other dude.

then he's still there and we're not-quite making googly-eyes.

then -- completely of his own volition -- he tells me that he's not gay and his girlfriend wouldn't like this.

yes. his girlfriend.

his girlfriend wouldn't want this to happen.

i understand. i never once used the word gay, bro.

actually, earlier he had looked me dead in the eyes and said "I'm straight" to which I immediately and unselfconsciously replied "So am I."

I absolutely meant it. The secret to flirting with straight men is just to become one. You don't even have to try. Then go after you. It's amazing. The second they realize you're as much of a man, they turn into chicks and boys, sometimes at the same time. It's like a fuckin switch, dude.

I admit it. I have extreme situational charisma.

There are people who are drawn to me, and people who are repulsed by me. Most of the time, I just feel I radiate an intensity which makes others default to trying to ignore me cause they don't wanna get too close, cause all my good moods tend to be the product of single-minded focus and everyone I attract without realizing it tends to be a moth or a vampire who is solely approaching to feed on the light of my flame.

I spent years not knowing how to initiate, only to instigate.

I get it.

Oh, my god. It's actually the same fucking thing as when I decided to become a gay man, women were immediately drawn to me. Fuckin magnets, bro. My icy indifference made them so hot, they wanted to press up against my pale marbled body and make snow angels.

Situational bisexuality is simple enough for most people to grasp. If men are in the forest or in prison, a hole's a hole. We all have needs.

People tend not to understand asexuality at all, some poor fools lacking in either minds or souls even going so far as to claim that sexual reproduction is the ultimate motivation for all life on earth.

Now that I'm starting to grasp all the ways my sexuality is truly fluid, it's clear consciously what I've always suspected and felt -- asexuality is just another mode, another configuration among many. Sometimes in my life, I just don't have any sexual desire for a few weeks or months at a time. I never consciously decide to do it, but somehow, somewhere down the chain of command, my dick just knows how to go into maintenance mode and my system shifts into a new equilibrium. It's not conscious, but in some part of my mind, I'm deciding -- no sex. Sex is not a priority. We're cutting off sex and reconstituting the flow of that energy.

Essentialized states of sexuality only make sense to me as some kind of pledge. You know. A marriage to a woman. A vow of chastity. Signing the fag contract and taking your collar like the good bitch that you are.

This is the wisdom of not needing to disclose or even discuss your sexuality until it's relevant, and it induces the paradox of public difference, where one needs to feel they will not cause offense to ask questions, and yet -- here we face the additional paradox of how much is one entitled to appear publicly visible without needing to perform? Obviously, it shouldn't be outrageous for a man to be partnered to a man. If a person is distraught by witnessing a female mind or soul in a male body which has been surgically or hormonally altered (or just dresses differently) to reflect the way that mind or soul either feels it always was or has become ... yeah, no. You can de distressed by the appearance of a burn victim or an amputee and you would know that's your problem and you're being rude.

If we believe in mutual service, and service arises out of values, do we reveal our own presumptions when we move to serve others, and what do we do with an act of service (which constitutes a gift) we don't want, can't accept, or won't appreciate? How do you keep up the courage to believe in common decency and still ask questions knowing it's difficult to tell a bad actor from a traumatized person struggling to communicate their reality? How can you gage the worth of interaction against the pain of enduring it? How can you know how far to push when so many have so many different theories of what constitutes too much?

I dunno, man.

Hopefully some expert'll come along with a nice one-size fits all solution we can all follow along and then just not have to think about it.

I just wanna work and drink and watch TV.

Get my cock sucked.

Don't wanna have to fuckin talk to people.

[omgthisisnotmyrealaccount]

just saw someone under a video of ewan mcgregor talking reply “why is he talking like he’s auditioning for braveheart” and somemone just replied “it’s called being scottish” 💀

Scolding Daryl Dixon Would Include:

tw: racist comments (before daryl reforms past that era in season 1)

if he's talking to someone and being rude/irrational you flick his ear in passing, and he lets out a small yelp as he holds his ear, glaring at you

shuts up immediately afterwards

verbal scolding would not go through well, he literally doesn't listen and kisses you up to get out of 'trouble'

he knows what makes you tick, so you have to keep your guard up if you want to get through to him

when he realises you're serious he listens, and gives an apology to you and whoever it is he 'offended'

ofc his apology isn't a direct one as he grows awkward, but everyone understands what he's saying

if he goes to whack someone, as he normally does, you grab his elbow and pull him away before anyone else can intervene

you calm him down and let him breathe before asking him to apologise for the outburst

he does it for you <3 (but only for you)

bc of merle's awful influence, at the beginning he made a few more racist comments which you quickly hop onto

your scolds are more serious with him, whacking the back of his head lightly and demanding him to apologise

he gets over the impression that being racist makes him 'cool'

he's so thankful for you bc you bring out the best in him <3

everyone is also very grateful as he's more mellow and open when you're around

if he's upset and pouty after being told off, you deffo give him forehead smooches and coddle him

he's alright afterwards as your smooches make him feel so much better <3
