female protagonists will literally go through 30 life altering traumas at the age of 16 and you ppl still have the audacity to call them annoying bc they cry about it and act like teenage girls

percy, playfully: on a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love me?

annabeth: right now? maybe a 6

percy: what, why?

annabeth, scoffing and rolling her eyes:

percy: what? i’m confu— oh my gods. this again? for the last time, it is not my fault that the store didn’t have my shampoo that you love! you are just going to have to deal with my hair smelling like sea and surf instead of nautical fresh for a little while!

annabeth: you could get it online!

percy: THEY’RE OUT OF STOCK!

grover: i miss when you two fought about normal things. like possibly fatal quests

the thing w G1 transformers & gender is the Spike and Sparkplug Witwicky met a bunch of large buff deep-voiced alien robot soldiers and went 'yeah these are men' and didn't think any more deeply into it than that.

I'm not convinced Sparkplug has fully registered that there aren't a bunch of girl Transformers at home on Cybertron in non-combatant roles. Spike understands that they're asexually reproducing robots but bcos he's a teenage boy circa the mid 1980s it just hasn't occurred to him not to think of them as men. Carly might have been more open-minded but by the time she got involved the whole thing was already entrenched and she just assumed Spike knew what he was talking about.

meanwhile the Autobots are assuming semi-correctly that humans just default to using he/him pronouns and haven't really registered that they've all been assigned Boy.

anyway at some point between s2 and the movie some new Autobots came over from Cybertron and their human friends immediately started she/her'ing Arcee.

cue private Autobot huddle as they try to suss out why Arcee is apparently a girl robot. it can't be that Arcee is smaller than average bcos if it was size-based then the humans would have assigned Bumblebee girl. they consider that it might be bcos pink is a girl colour (they learned about this when Daniel was born) but then remember that Hot Rod is also pink and but Hot Rod didn't get assigned girl. the idea that it might be a vocal pitch thing initially seems compelling but then someone points out that the humans have never used anything other than he/him for Starscream so it can't be that.

eventually they give up and ask Spike and he's like '.............what?'

I am so conflicted about the drama in the arcane fandom regarding Meljayvik because it's all just so messy.

For one, not everyone likes every ship and that is okay. You don't have to like Meljayce or Jayvik, it's okay to only like one of the two or none at all.

But then there is the disposable black gf trope that makes this whole thing tricky. I hate this trope so damn much, it isn't fair. At all.

But then also Mel is SO MUCH more than Jayces lover in the story, like her romantic relationship with Jayce was a tiny part of her character and their relationship with each other as well. So I don't like the idea of reducing her to just that. Mel's arc this season was all about her other qualities, her intelligence, her power and her relationship to her mother, not about her love for Jayce or whatever.

I absolutely love Mel as a character. She went from someone who I thought would be a cunning villain, to this caring and intelligent leader, who will do whatever she thinks is best for her people.

Yet people always reduce her to "the girl that gets in the way of the Yaoi" or "Jayce’s love interest", like no come on?! She never got in the way of anything and she isn't just Jayce’s girlfriend. She doesn't lose her purpose if people don't like her together with Jayce, because that wasn't even what her arc was about! Free my girl!

glinda running away screaming and crying and then standing against the wall and closing her eyes and waiting for death... elphaba saw firsthand how much of a TERRIBLE fugitive glinda would've been and was still like mmm yes please come with me we'll be the greatest team there's ever been. she loves glinda so dearly.

Just saw a post that made a really good point while talking about Mel and Viktor parallels and decided to make my own post about it as not to distract from the point of theirs-

If you guys are gonna run with “Mel used Jayce” you have to admit that Viktor used Jayce too. Viktor saw an opportunity to develop something meaningful that could help people and Jayce was his means of doing so.

megan thee stallion is the perfect example of unbothered energy. nicki has repeatedly vagueposted about her, gone on unhinged rants about her, gone so far as to mention her dead mother (such a classless low blow), threatened her on live, and has now released the tackiest diss track in history. and what has megan done? literally nothing. she straight up ignored her, aside from that one ig story where she posted herself laughing (which was perfect btw). she is the epitome of “i will not dignify that w a response.” i love it.
