#I just want to scream

[catofoldstones]

we already have people bitching about how “i can’t stand Chani, she’s so annoying 🙄” and “Paul chose Chani to be the mother of his children, Irulan is just at the sidelines eating dust as she should”, like brothers we cannot do this again. We can’t Chani v Irulan our way out of this one because the problem is Paul and the Empire. Gosh, we truly are never getting out of the patriarchy.

Luiga's tweet that Jean was supposed to be main partner in the Return will forever haunt me as a living haunting nightmare of what could've been

So I guess this whole season was really just about DeMayo getting to self-indulgently adapt X-MEN #25. And since he didn't have all the characters from that story, he just forced Rogue into the Colossus role (the one who sides with Magneto) and Gambit into the Illyana role (the loved one whose death makes Colossus so miserable and grief-stricken that he sides with Magneto).

So, what, was that bullshit Rogneto retcon just about getting it to make more sense that Rogue would side with the genocidal psychopath and killing Remy just about making sure there was nothing holding her back from doing so?

Thanks. I fucking hate it.

Hey, you know what would have been a lot better than this?

ROGUE AND GAMBIT FILLING THE ROLES OF ROGUE AND GAMBIT!

"I feel like I'm falling apart. I feel like his boot is on my throat, and the only way he'll let me breathe is if I pretend to conform to whatever he wants me to be this week. At the same time there is this burning feeling deep in my bones, itching, crawling to get out, to be free. I just want to be who I'm supposed to be, I'm so fucking sick of acting and lying. I don't believe in your God! I want to scream, I'm not the perfect little conservative, straight, quiet girl they demand I be. I want to be loud, I want to take up space. I'm so sick of pouring my energy into people who only tolerate the person they demand I be."

I really hate being a woman. It's such a dogshit experience. The last 2 weeks I've lost so many friends because 2 of my closest male friends tried to "swoop in" while I was having a hard time, and ruin my relationship with another male friend they're jealous of. Lost one of my closest friends bc she blamed me for being vulnerable and an easy target for men (who I thought were my FRIENDS) to prey on. Not only have I been dealing with a breakup, a death, health issues, and joblessness. But I'm now down 3 close friends. I just feel so exhausted at this point man....

When you have to argue that the glass is half full because they’re the ‘glass is half empty’ type.

Like fuck shit man, the glass has the same amount of liquid no matter how you look at it. I just want to hope for better so life sucks less. Don’t worry, I’m dead inside too.

Every time i scroll on TikTok and see a video about how Palestine is being let down or how middle eastern countries were destroyed by the western world I just want to punch someone and then I want to give up my dream of becoming a prosecutor to go into international law instead

But then I remember that the UN is corrupt and controlled by said western countries and nothing will change unless we dismantle the whole thing to start over and then I want to punch someone even more and then I just want to give up

But then I remember that at least if I could make some vague semblance of a difference, it would be worth it even if nothing ever changes

And then the cycle starts over and repeats itself

It's one of those days when I feel so utterly helpless and exhausted in the face of everything happening in the world. Here's me doing laundry and trying to get my grandma to eat and translating texts that are more than 2000 years old, while crimes and atrocities are committed and so-called leftists gleefully spread hate and misinformation. What the fuck. Ugh.

What's this? Oh, nothing... just Magneto using the head of the Wild Sentinel that killed the man Rogue loved as a giant throne as he prepares to genocide the entire human race.

And that's whose side Rogue is on because the writers hate Rogue, hate Gambit, hate Romy and hate the fans.

The last 3 episodes killed me multiple times in so many different ways

The most frustrating part of engaging in any of this discourse with pro-Israel people is that they claim there's just something ineffable about "seeing and understanding" how supporting Palestinian liberation is directly calling for the eradication of Jewish people (as if that type of rhetoric isn't exactly how actual antisemitism often manifests in online spaces but that's a topic for another day)

They get through people debunking the "the land belongs to the people of Israel anyway" argument and the "LGBTQ Palestinians are safe in Israel" argument and the "Genocide isn't what's happening here so you should educate yourself" argument and when all of those points are meticulously disproven over and over they still stand with "Well, myself and your Jewish friends see the hate you have in your heart for us" and it truly doesn't matter what you say at that point because even if you yourself are Jewish they will claim that refusing to support the state, government and military of Israel is inherently hateful and bigoted, as if a religious ethnostate is some inherent human right that is being taken away from them. I know many of them are blinded by the relentless propaganda that's been around their whole lives and how hard it is to break free from a belief system that is so tied to your core identity as a human being but it is so frustrating watching people being led straight to the point over and over again and just turning around and refusing to see it.

It's also so frustrating to see people using the momentum of this movement to casually tack on actual antisemitism to these discussions, as if having Jewish people in positions of power is why the US bends over backwards to excuse the actions of Israel and not, yknow, the fact that our government directly benefits from having a military stronghold in the middle east. I've talked to some well-meaning pro-Palestine friends irl who casually use antisemetic talking points because they've ALSO bought into the narrative that Israeli = Jewish and so they blame the actions of Israel and the IDF on Jewish people's "religious values" and ignore the fact that this conflict really has almost nothing to do with religion itself and everything to do with capitalism, imperialism and maintaining the US's status as a so-called "global power".

You've been spicy lately

Yeah, I've been in a mood because I'm mad in my personal life and it's leaking out here. I want to say I'm sorry but I'm not sure if I am
