#I refuse any critique

Accurate. This actually happened

Martin: I can't believe how ableist everyone is! Jon is just doing his autistic best.

Melanie: Isn't he actively wanted by the police for murder?

Martin (with heart eyes) : His special interest is crime! :D

Do you pray for the hostages too?

Yes. I pray for the 110 or so israeli and immgrant hostages assumed to still be alive. And I also pray for the hundreds of Palestianian hostages arrested without charge in Israeli prisons assumed to be alive.

I pray for a ceasefire so that the Israeli hostages are released. I also pray for the end of Israeli apartheid government, so that Palestianians are liberated.

I think the fact that 100% of the "toxicity" from gale and mystra's relationship prior to what we see in the game is completely fabricated by fanon should say a lot about the misogyny gale stans so easily fall into. But y'all aren't ready for that convo obviously

Isn't it funny how today it’s pretty common belief on here that the idea of 'cringe' and shaming of people who like 'cringe' things is bad. That the big fandoms back in the day that people like to make fun of - superwholock and john green books and twilight and homestuck and whatever was popular at the time - certainly had elements very deserving of critique, but how that critique largely drowned under people pointing and laughing at, the mostly teen girl, fans. Like, we are pretty agreed that this was bad, right? That it’s cruel to actual people and makes it difficult to have genuine conversations about the actual flaws of the media and fandoms in question, right??

And yet here we are today and I see people doing the exact same thing to newer fandoms with the defense that the fans are cringe or, if you're trying to be all moral about it, problematic and possibly evil for liking a popular media. Like, I don’t care about reylo or our flag means death or taylor swift or romantasy novels to any particular extent. I don’t have a horse in this race. But I keep seeing their fans treated as acceptable targets for harrassment or bullying. Posts talking about how immoral they are and then their screenshoted 'proof' is mostly just. Women being passionate about a thing that they love, or god forbid daring to defend it or being bummed about everyone else harrassing them. And I think it's kind of scary how we keep repeating this cycle of designating a media as inherently problematic, therefore all of its fans are problematic, therefore they are deserving of every ounce of mocking and public shaming they get.

I don't really get into the top/bottom discussions anymore since I think they're kind of silly (tho not fake performative, I can guarantee almost everyone involved is DEAD serious on both sides) but this argument is one I haven't seen before and like. okay point. I see it. a lot of fics where lwj bottoms make him ooc in ways that also play into stereotypes too...like even if you're coming at it purely from a cql characterization there's fics where I'm like hm. he wouldn't do that. and in concept I do rly like the sexual dynamic of lwj taking care of wwx and I think that suits their characters and their romance really well (however that manifests). like I like to see them switching and wwx topping but I also don't think lwj being a top is like, bad or offensive either

I didnt rb this post bc the rest of it goes on to make arguments like 'mxy and therefore wwx is more feminine because he was the son of a pretty 16 yr old' which like ???? I didn't know the younger the mom, the prettier the son... also watsonian vs. doyleist explanations etc. etc. I do think RELATIVELY speaking the novel really isn't so bad with the crazy top/bottom stereotypes and that's not where my criticisms of it lie anyway, honestly the adaptations and fandom run with it way more than the actual book did...when I was reading it I was surprised that wwx-as-mxy was literally less than an inch shorter than lwj. fanart rly exaggerates it

Piping hot take apparently but. Maybe if you're going to criticize a thing for poor writing you should actually watch it first

amazing how all it really takes is a bunch of trans lesbians to mildly complain about the lack of yuri in fandom and not even a week later an investigation is started on the validity of transmisogyny because they can't be browbeaten with academic papers and screenshot archives that take transphobes' words at face value 😔

[spouseoftherisingsun]

I think if you ONLY saw Barbie and/or Oppenheimer in theater this year, you lose your rights to complain about anything that's related to awards shows, critical acclaim, or what kind of junk Hollywood pumps out. Like make excuses, but it took a blown out social media frenzy to get you to even leave the house for a movie screening. you have no idea what you're talking about

I feel like you all know and can guess my stance on this, but just to be clear: I do not and will not write x reader fanfics for the real life people Seb plays. I may occasionally base my rockstar!bucky au look off the tattoos and eyeliner he had as Tommy, but that is as far as it goes.

And I definitely will not write for this new role of his, including using pics from it as inspo for other AUs. Like I said, I think my followers would have guessed my feelings on this already, but if you send me any requests or pics about this movie you'll be ignored, so don't waste your breath ❤️

Me three ciders in explaining my idea that Zelda, Link, and Ganondorf should all share a wildly intense interpersonal relationship with eachother that results in them all being torn apart by the fate of the triforce. Since they all symbolize personality traits that dont overlap, they could make a fantastic and extremely tight-knit trio with a really interesting friendship until someone tips the scale too far and the entire thing falls apart and they all themselves killed AND THAT INCLUDES LINK AND ZELDA

I have this one writing professor who's overall great, but she has these little particular expectations that drive me insane. The big one is that we have to write a 50 word response to all of our classmates' weekly stories. But this is a workshop. We make those comments in class. We have full conversations where the writers can hear pur tone and respond and ask questions in the moment.

Why the fuck do we have to leave feedback comments?????

Having feelings and noticing them????

I don’t think it’s possible for me to read an analytic philosophy essay on ethics and not walk away so so frustrated
