🔥 Hubert?
It is entirely possible to like Hubert and not like Edelgard and vice versa like. That is an absolutely insane thing to see MANY different people say/agree with. Even with how deeply they are connected to each other they are characters that act pretty damn different from the other and it's possible for folks to vibe with one over the other because of that.
For another take that might not be hot but I still wanna get out, I find it frustrating that Hubert's one support that has someone bring up whether his undying loyalty to Edelgard is actually helping her at all when he never directly challenges her and thus never actually lets her grow as a leader - an idea that's actually incredibly interesting to delve into as it challenges Hubert's ideals and shows off how surprisingly childish he can be when criticized ("when I do literally everything Edelgard wants without question you call me a doormat but when I go behind her back and do things without her notice you call me unhelpful!! what I am supposed to do then??" "bitch TALK to her??? that thing you failed to do EITHER TIME????") - ...gets dropped so unceremoniously in favor of "I like you Ferdinand" "well I like you too Hubert." Actually meaningful discussion that both shows how genuine Ferdinand is in actually helping Edelgard and brings up the question of whether Hubert is actually helping Edelgard with how little he directly challenges her gets thrown out the window in favor of shallow compliments and gift giving that in the verse of the supports comes so out of nowhere Ferdinand genuinely thinks Hubert got sick; it's annoying as fuck

Haha what if all the overwhelming rage I'm suddenly feeling is actually just 21 years of accumulated injustices that I'm only now starting to feel because my self esteem is improving. But then because it's so overwhelming that it feels genuinely unsafe to both myself and those around me for me to express it, I have to repress it further and the only way I know how to do that is to lower my self esteem again so that I don't feel angry cause I no longer feel like I ever deserved better

barbie spoilers
it made me so emotional when barbie is crying to america fererra’s character and she says “i’m not pretty anymore” because god, isn’t that what it’s like growing up? you’re a young girl and you’re happy and confident and you like who you are and the things that make you happy and then you grow up and there’s a shift. and all of a sudden you’re so conscious of who are and the way you look and the thing you care about most is if you’re pretty, not because you’re shallow, but because you want to be loved. you know that being pretty means that people love you. you know that when someone says you are not pretty they mean that you are not wanted. barbie just perfectly encapsulated how women long to be called beautiful not just because of societal conventions but because we want to belong! we want to be loved! we are afraid of loneliness and rejection! and that’s why i think the movie was so powerful when it said: being beautiful and wanting to be beautiful aren’t inherently bad. it is where we draw our beauty from that really matters. not from others, but from ourselves; and when others recognize and uplift you because of the qualities within yourself that you have nurtured, it is the most wonderful feeling of all.

i neeeeeed people to think a little bit abt what theyre saying and do a bit of research on shit before they say things to ppl w mental illness and disorders and just general disabilities lol
seeing an uptick of ppl commenting on others bodies "out of concern" esp when those ppl have been open abt having an ED and it's driving me nuts. do not fucking comment on peoples bodies, idc if ur concerned, just say something like "i hope you're doing okay, sending love!" or whatever, no need to make any mention of weight or appearance dear god. i guarantee you that we all know that we look unhealthy. it's distressing esp if you are trying your best to recover. we can't fix how we look until we're at that point lol, it's just upsetting to hear ppl say "you look so skinny!" or "you're not looking very healthy!" when we cannot do anything about it more than we're already doing
