#Cancellation i don't know her

[smollsmule]

Rewatching Episode 7 currently and the fact that we have an entire flashback that's framed 100% like a romcom meet cute/ montage, fuzzy music, silly jokes, editing style and all, except it's literally watching a teenager die a slow, violent death.

Truly one of the choices of all time.

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

also, the reason why gi-hun fans don't talk about his shitty actions is because... he gets held responsible BY THE NARRATIVE. he is held responsible BY THE SHOW ITSELF!! we don't need to condemn him for stealing from his mom and cancelling her health insurance, because guess what! he faced the consequences of his actions IN THE SHOW!!

if he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have needed to go back into the games because his mother's health rapidly declined! if he hadn't done that, he wouldn't have come home to his DEAD MOTHER, rendering all that suffering within the games POINTLESS. don't you think that's already enough punishment? come on

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

Ok, fine, I'm going to say something about Rachel Zegler.

She said some sort of rude things during her interviews. She messed up. People are cancelling her everywhere, making video essays about how her career is ruined, calling her names, insulting her looks, now they're shaming her for having body hair. She needs media training and y'all are acting like she killed somebody. You hate Snow White remake, I get it, I wasn't gonna see it either, nothing about it looks good to me, but I love Rachel's singing voice from the trailer. I didn't watch her in any other movie so I don't know if she's a good actor or not, I didn't even pay attention to her before. However, I don't think that she deserves THIS amount of hate. She'll definitely learn her lesson after all this and be better next time. But all this cyberbullying is too much. I don't think she deserves this.

I'm just sayin. Rose knew exactly what the fuck she was doing when she guilted Jack into joining that dinner. She fucking knew what she was doing

Just had something happen to me which was very close to a situation I often have nightmares about, and I thought those nightmares were a bit over the top, like, you know, the way dreams tend to be...

Well turns out the dreams weren't exaggerating at all. In fact it's worse in real life. The nightmares were the game turned on easy mode. :)

nothing quite like having the main thing you're in therapy for happen, and then your therapist has to cancel for this week because they're sick

Ok fellas I have once again tried to book the (hopefully) final touch up for a tattoo done by a friend who is a tattoo apprentice and not super experienced with the techniques used and as such didn't do a great job the first time requiring several touch ups, all of which have been rescheduled or canceled multiple times due to extenuating circumstances which I cant blame my artist friend for but nevertheless have been incredibly frustrating for me. Here's hoping my ankle can finally not look like shit after multiple months of being an embarrassment compared to all my other tattoos
