i cannot emphasize enough how racist it is to make a sino-arab family obsessed with white men’s genes. can we all please leave behind the storylines of the al ghuls being obsessed with bruce or tim’s genes.

#red robin 2009 i loathe you #‘but the angst is so good’ it’s repulsive actually. read better comics for better angst. THERE ARE MANY #something there should satisfy you more than woc perpetually being assigned this role in relation to white men #woc or moc so I’m including ra’s in this as well. free him #while we’re at it can we ignore all of red robin 2009 when it comes to ra’s? thanks. please read the demon trilogy

not to wade into discourse about shows online which I swore to stop doing but I think some of you need to recognize that not every piece of media is about you, and that focusing only on the themes that you personally identify with while erasing the ones you don't is Not Great

#some of you only know how to analyze things through a VERY specific queer lens that matches your own personal experiences and it shows #and I just think there is a lot more to enjoying narratives about having a complex relationship to gender in a very specific historical era #than arguing about what specific pronouns and labels they would use in 2023 #and that white queer people reducing stories that are about a character's struggle with being multiracial #to *only* the queer elements that we identify with is. not great???#you can't separate these things you can't just ignore them #I'm obviously not equipped to do in-depth *commentary* on that aspect of mizu's character because I am in fact a white queer #that is for other people to speak about and I'm enjoying reading their takes on it #but like. you need to engage with media that is not about you. you need to assign artistic merit beyond what you personally identify with.#you can find things that resonate with you in them but you should not make the whole thing about you

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

#there's a variety of reasons for this #part of it is that im GROSSLY unqualified to be handing out diagnoses when it takes a full on PhD to do that in real life #part of it is that psychology is inchoate and we are still very much in murky waters #for example: complex ptsd isn't even IN the DSM yet #and iirc my therapist told me it was because theyre still figuring out how to classify it (attachment disorder? trauma disorder? etc.)#part of it is that (from my limited and undereducated understanding) there are diagnoses that you can assign by completing a checklist...#but some that require a hell of a lot more testing and ruling out other potential causes #and the cluster-b personalities are (IIRC) not even ones you're supposed to diagnose minors with #bc of fears of self fulfilling prophecy and because minors in general are still developing personalities In General #and like the fact that i can't say that with authority speaks to how unqualified i am to do any diagnosing right? hahaha #and part of it is just because like #unless the story is specifically About That and the author has stated so explicitly #i think diagnosing characters tends to put blinders on analysis #like if i were to seriously go 'eridan is autistic' then it would massively bias my reading and understanding of his character #and we have 0 indication that eridan was ever explicitly intended to be autistic or that the author was trying to do an autism specifically #that doesn't mean that the reading is invalid because like thats what death of the author means #all readings are technically valid including stuff the author didn't necessarily intend #but that's just not the way i like to engage with media and not the way i like to approach character analysis #because PERSONALLY it just feels kind of reductive - but also -#i'd wager MOST of us don't have degrees in psychology #so when i say 'X character has Y condition' it might mean something totally different to somebody reading my analysis #even people who have Y condition aren't exempt because a lot of mental illnesses differ from person to person #whereas if i explain “X character has Y thoughts and Z behaviors” there's no ambiguity in that #eridan struggles with noticing that people are suffering and with realizing that he should care #at least part of this is due to his horrific murder-filled upbringing which rendered empathy a detriment & so he learned to ignore it #it could be autism - but it could also be trauma -#or he might just be Like That without actually meeting the diagnostic criteria for autism #& you can't even technically be diagnosed with C-PTSD #or maybe he has a burgeoning personality disorder but you aren't supposed to DX those too early anyway #or maybe hes just 13. see what i mean hahaha. ive reached the 30 tag limit

does anyone want to see my s4m dialtown au you dont get a choice youre seeing it anyway

you just simply have to hear me out on all of this ESPECIALLY mingus tango and norm’s assignments trust me i have divine visions and they told me this is the best possible assignments for all of them. my thought for the general au is that instead of taking place in the habitat or some kind of compound, the Entire Town is hopped up on laughing gas (can’t vote against the mayor if you’re too loopy to notice how corrupt she is!)

also mingus would still have a puppet and use those for her “campaign ads” (think about a mixture between the psas from s4m and like a legit campaign ad. something kinda goofy and also vaguely threatening because that’s mingus). the reason she needs the entire town to be “happy” is so no one notices the VERY questionable lengths she’s going to get back her pawpaw’s memory. oh and the big event would be her doing brain surgery on people in an attempt to hone her skills enough to operate on callum herself lol!

i have more thoughts about this au so feel free to ask me about it. i love smile for me i love dialtown i love the combination smile for me dialtown

#ignorance cloud on #dialtown #dial for me #<- name of the au. i was also toying around w smile for mingus but dial for me is kind of perfect #ive been thinking abt this more the past couple days so i needed to share my thoughts #i have so many more tho its just kind of hard to condense into a coherent post #u can ask me abt stuff tho! i have reasonings for most of my assignments. some of it was just soul reads ill be real

Highest exam grade in the class god is real

#please feel free to ignore this #Jake meets world #Someone come fuck this!!!#My prof always shares some statistical analysis he does after the exam #avgs + std + highest scores + exam scores compares to grades on other assignments #Me reading the highest scores: Man I hope one of those are mine lol #Me looking at the gradebook: Wait a minute. Wait a minute wait a minute #He never curves the exam scores so I don't feel about this lol

i need to stop myself

#tried writing fluff for the first time and why is it so long #like i don't write often #and i never wrote fluffy stuff #but i got bored and i was like mmm mhmhmhhhhh #why not try smth new yk #this might end up being my one and only contribution to the wind breaker fandom #if i decide that it's not the most horrendously written thing i've ever read #and the rareeeeee times i've written it was like #very short #just a few paragraphs of... wtvr it was #oh actually i take back what i said earlier #meant like i don't write ff often #it's just essays and assignment stuff #but even that i haven't done in a bit #anywayssss uhm #could be a piece of shit or could be... okish #anyways ignore this stupidity #☆— yapping

love the cynonari collei family but i have huuuuge beef w how cynonari fans portray collei. She Would Not Say That

#assign this strange naivety to her. girl she has killed two people #i have sooo many thoughts on the way that cyno & tighnari give collei a space to experience her childhood when it was previously denied from #her & i think her relationship to both of them is rlly important. the game givingm collei a spacd to heal from her trauma surrounded by #people who support her unconditionally is the best aspect of collei's in-game narrative #some cynonari fans ignore all the aspects of her character that forms her relationship w cyno & tighnari - her trauma & experiences #her eleazar the archon residue and portray her solely as. cynonari child. & she's always presented as naive and much more childish than she #actually is. its sooo irritating she is not like that at all & its kinda clear that they don't care abt collei as a character only as a prop #for cynonari 😭😭😭 anyway its frustrating #also i wonder how much of it is shaped by the fact that she canonically struggles w literacy. & has visible symptoms of trauma. & has traits #that can be read as neurodivergent. anway

Seeing people who complain about being forced to read 1984 in highschool because its too dark is hilarious as someone who read umprompted 1984 at eleven

#i was in vacation i was bored i also thought that because i had an higher reading capacity that wouldve been in the same range of that #assigned to me. also my brother said it was classic literature so my ass COULVE NOT ignored it #anyways the torture scene is probably one of the reasons why i still consume gore fi-//HEADSHOT

this is just a random thought ive had in the back of my mind when i first got into yellowjackets so be nice but like. something something jackie & shauna are quinn fabray variants (to ME) and quinn is somehow a combination of jackieshauna's worst individual traits

#shauna shipman #jackie taylor #jackieshauna #this came from the glee yj tweets i looked up for funsies when i was getting into yj and ive chuckled @ the shackie quinn ones #but u know with enough time i started thinking about it way too much #i have lots of Thoughts but my thesis statement is this:#prone to being extremely harsh (on herself & others) which can lead to making the worst life decisions ever [Shauna]#+ “pretty perfect highschool queen” whose really reliant on the (superficial) expectations of everyone/the social order [Jackie]#= quinn fabray #like if u were assigning yj girls to glee chars you can kind of slot jackieshauna in quinn for wildly different reasons #its just really funny. frankly hilarious to me. this is very niche but if it hits an audience then wooo #if j&s watched glee theyre fave character would be quinn for Very different reasons its true they told me #& shauna would be a secret hater about it lowkey because she'd assume jackie doesn't get the parts of Quinn that shauna relates to #while jackie? shes just losing her mind over every s2 faberry moment #comphet lesbian AND pregnant cheater bitch oh quinn fabray what can't you do #but yeah. yeah #if you read all this i appreciate u.#ignore the typos 😒

The vampire brain rot is so real sooo excitedddddddd. Counting down the days x

YESSSSS I LOVE THE VAMPIRE!FICTIONAL!MATTY LOVE the amount of excited I am about this, and the amount that I am currently loving Vampire!Fictional!Matty is ridiculous. He is unwell, he is undead, and he is very unaware of what is REALLY going on around him. He is turning into one of my precious little babies... he's just so dumb and I love him so much 😭 Meanwhile, poor Fictional!Vampire!George is just trying to keep everyone undead and also dealing with the GUILT, so much GUILT... Fictional!Adam and Fictional!Ross just wanna make it through their next tour with everyone in the same state of alive/undead that they started the tour with 😂 Thank you so much for sending in this ask and for the support! I hope you're having, and continue to have a great weekend!

❤️Ally
