#I’m sorry for discourse

[rotteneldritchhorror]

Sorry for discourse but I DID NOT JUST SEE SOMEONE LUMP AROALLO AND ALLOACE PEOPLE IN WITH STRAIGHTBIANS AS “Contradictory labels”

HUH.

Being allosexual and Aromantic isn’t contradictory??? Being alloromantic and asexual isn’t contradictory???

I’m going to say something I’ve been thinking for a long time. Travis/Chetney always bringing up Molaesmyr gets laughs but I think it is the largest factor which is making Matt’s attempt to have the Predathos question be a real debate, and the cast treating it as one not only fall flat for me, but have me ready to be incredibly disappointed in the storytelling of C3 depending on what happens.

Molaesmyr is the most pure example we have of Ludinus’s sins and what happens if he gets what he wants. He contacted Predathos and destroyed a civilization. Not only destroyed it, but twisted the animals, plant life, and people of the city and for hundreds of miles around into horrible, tortured and suffering mockeries of themselves, still haunting a perpetually dying space. That is what Matt presented when we visited Molaesmyr in episode 57 and, because Matt is good at horror and especially body horror, it really landed.

We’ve heard the cast say several times now that the characters definitely want to stop Ludinus from getting any power but after that “we’ll see.” We’ll see what? How is doing any version of what Ludinus wants a victory, even if he’s not involved? How are we considering that it might be fine to let Predathos out to chase/eat the gods or to control after seeing what it did to Molaesmyr? Do the people we saw as twisted and suffering mockeries of their former selves in that dead city not matter to the story at all? Are they just set dressing we’re supposed to forget?

Trying to present any version of what Ludinus ultimately wants, releasing Predathos, as a possible and even potentially correct or admirable endgame was, imo, a huge mistake after seeing Molaesmyr. As an audience of this story, it turns who we’ve been told are protagonists into villains. And while some stories can do that well, I don’t have confidence this one could, in large part because D&D is designed to be heroic fantasy. And seeing the heroes turn to villains at the last second will be even harder to swallow if the story tries to tell us they had a point.

I think the only reason dream hasn’t unleashed a twitlonger yet is because he knows the minute he does philza minecraft will go in for the kill

“I’m sorry I said a slur it was bad” -> 30 seconds

“Tommy you are a terrible person who manipulated me, you were basically an adult anyways, I never harassed your mom and texting her isn’t weird in fact I was kind to her, you accusing me and my friends of sexism is evil (he also referenced that this was fair and they have been told they were weird towards women by other parties in HIS OWN STREAM, backtracks in the video), you love child labor, you are racist, where are your receipts, but also you were my friend and you are a good person because you used to like me at some point BUT IF YOU DONT LIKE ME ANYMORE might as well take down every time you ever interacted with me and my family because it means you never liked me and btw you are kind but also I’m not sorry to you” -> NINE WHOLE MINUTES ON A MAIN CHANNEL VIDEO + A CRASHOUT LIVESTREAM OF THREE FUCKING HOURS

Chat we are back in the fucking building again 😭😭

went to my parents’ place to spend the night because i didn’t feel like being alone, and my mom being my mom, made it so i just started crying to her. like full on sobbing.

and talking with her made me realize why this truly is upsetting.

it’s because we got hate when what we tried really hard to give was love and patience. we tried to be the bigger person and received a fuck off. and this in no way means next time i won’t choose to be the bigger person. it just means that makes me sad.

and it makes me sad because they also rewarded hate. they rewarded hate with love, and that just feels even worse.

in a week where everything has been so scary, and where hate has been so predominant, we truly were expecting to feel comforted by our comfort show.

and instead we got what we got. and now the comfort show is just another part of the hate.

Why anyone would waste time being mean to someone for liking a certain ship is beyond me. You mean to tell me you spent your summer writing anonymous hate in people’s inboxes and threatening real people within the tv show?

Bizarre. I spent my summer imagining my ship fucking each other in every way shape and form imaginable.

You should try it.

I’m actually scared of alienating some of my followers and moots with all the trans discourse I’ve been steeping quietly in and contemplating, but… I’m trying to not let being scared shut me up about this. That, in and of itself, is erasure and silencing.

Fuck staying quiet. Trans men and mascs deserve a voice, and we, as a group, are not oppressing or invalidating anyone else by using that voice. (Obviously there are shithead exceptions!! Anyone can be an asshole.)

I really hope that if I ever speak about any of this in the future, that people recognize that it’s not ever, ever trans femininity as a concept I have an issue with. It’s people who

- try to divide the community

- are reinventing gender essentialism from the ground up but make it trans

-police other people’s identities and decide for them what oppression they must face because of a tiny set of superficial traits

- simply. Don’t understand what intersectionality means.

- disregard and invalidate anyone who doesn’t fit a very specific (binary, rich, white, abled, flawlessly passing) idea of what it means to be trans.

None of those things are specific or exclusive to one identity. There just happens to be a community of transfems who are currently espousing many of these ideas as gospel. They are understandably defensive because of real actual transmisogyny they face. But other trans people are not your enemy. Accusing anyone and everyone who tries to point these flaws out as radical transmisogynists is simply not true. Pointing out bigotry is not bigotry in itself.

I don’t want the trans community to constantly be at each other’s throats. We each have to sit down and think if we ever catch ourselves blaming an entire other marginalized group for our issues. That’s just fascism babes.

ABDICATION TRUTHERS HOW ARE WE FEELING?!!

[chuluoyi]

you keep yapping about lads lads and lads girl when will you write jjk again :(

whoa nonnie. first, i’ll have you know that you’re kind of rude :)

and second, this kind of ask is exactly what makes me reconsider to stop writing jjk for good bc what is the psychology behind forcing fic writers to write what you want? and worse, policing me for “yapping” about what i like to play these days in my own blog? just so you know i won’t stop talking about lads anytime soon and that’s that

please don’t normalize forcing fic writers to be your content machine— we’re all writing for fun only but this kind of treatment completely ruins it

"andor is so relevant right now!"

mon mothma realized her liberal legislative methodology was completely ineffective under an inherently corrupt system and the only way she could make real change was by funding a people's revolution, one which she will assume leadership of in order to overthrow the system completely. andor was always relevant.

Ok one last thing… again Taylor never lets it show but if you don’t think that her safety is constantly under considerable threat and that she has a target on her back by certain groups that unfortunately is likely to become more pronounced in coming years and that this open derision is only the tip of the iceberg… well, you’re not paying attention.

And that is driving so much of what we’ve seen and will continue to see. Nothing exists in a vacuum. And what we are going to see is going to come right out of the playbook. (And not just directed at her; it’s going to be at all Hers.)

ok but even beyond the very obvious fact that calling people the r slur Is Bad it’s just kind of like. a completely insane thing to even consider justifiable.

you’ll see his (frankly, heavily manipulated) fanbase claim that it’s fair for him to crash out over all of this because tommy is “always bringing him up.” — and even if that was true, the normal, healthy, mature, well-adjusted (and however many more adjectives we can apply) response is not to call a group of people a slur on twitter. even if he “thought he could reclaim it.”

& he can claim he “didn’t know the slur rules” (insane, by the way) all he wants, but it will never change that. it will never change the fact that he wasn’t even involved in this little scrap and decided to stick his foot in the door for the opportunity to make it about himself. as he does. and then victimize himself after. as he does. you are 25 years old, not a toddler being denied a cookie before bedtime. i have never in my life seen a single content creator with such a massive, putrid ego. he truly outdoes himself every single time.

here is the truth: dream has spent, and will spend, the rest of his life chasing the idea that he is somehow oppressed, a victim of hate, punished for existing. he romanticizes it. he will take any opportunity to not only insert himself in a situation, but will do so solely to make sure everyone knows just how bad he has it. registered republican, messager of underaged fans, private snapchat-owning, shielder of abusers, perpetuator of racists, forever the guy to feel bad for. i truly believe he is unable to recognize that he is in the wrong, because he always believes himself to be in the right. and i believe he is surrounded by people who support those delusions, because they believe those same things about themselves. he lives in an echo-chamber.

he will not learn. he can post as many apologies as he wants, all avoiding that magic five letter word that starts with s and ends with orry, and he will not change. not that that’s something you didn’t know already.

“growing up is going from billdip to billf/rd” growing up is realizing shipping is harmless and we all have bills and shit to pay and god above it does not actually matter outside of the online discourse bubble like…. It really doesn’t.

Please just go do something that makes you happy instead of being miserable and militant about thought crimes. Pleeeeaaaseeee Fortnite is free, the local animal shelter would love some volunteer work, there’s probably a shocking number of nature trails in your area, you could make bread😭

[dykecubes]

I do think it’s so fucking funny that dream finally released the world download for the dsmp as a means of pretending to “be the bigger person” and get people to stop talking about that 16 year old he bullied when he was 20 or all those women he was super misogynistic to or that autistic person he called a dog or that Hispanic person he directed racist harassment towards and then when he drops the link the fucking world download DOESNT WORK 💀💀💀💀
