This blog is pro-Palestine.

just to be clear: this is a TERF thing. For real, if someone insists that the moon and moonlight and the cycles of the moon are inheritly feminine, that's a bioessentialist red flag.

They're conflating moon cycles and hormonal cycles, with the idea that the feminine must be the ones with the cycle - because of course having a period links you to the moon and of course everyone has a 28 day cycle and every person with a period is feminine /sarcasm

I think I'm gonna start using he/him for the moon on purpose now.

do you have youtube channel?

technically yes, but I just use it to host unlisted videos for embedding, so there's nothing, like, public on it. :') sorry! I basically don't post anywhere except here and occasionally on pixiv (in case it's not obvious, I suck at social media).

I know it shouldn't surprise me, but it's frustrating af to step outside the fandom and read about OFMD's cancellation on more general entertainment sites and see the majority of reactions be along the lines of "oh well it was probably Taika being over it, he always gave me the ick anyway so, whatever," and then often devolving into comments about his personal life, or conspiracy theories that can be disproven if you use your brains for 30 seconds or maybe step outside and touch grass idk idk.

And this isn't me saying "omg how could you dislike Taika" bc truly unless you're being racist or antisemitic (which, let's be real, many are), I don't give a fuck what you think about him.

But the point remains that if you have a show that is all about celebrating queer joy and finding yourself later in life, that has a diverse cast of characters in terms of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and body type, that was WRITTEN by a diverse group of writers, that is receiving praise from critics and fans alike, that from all reports was one of Max's most successful shows despite them doing next to no promotion the first season, that had two successful seasons and the creator is on the record saying he had a plan to tell the entire story in three, and it gets CANCELED.

I don't give a fuck how you feel about Taika, or how you feel about OFMD. You SHOULD be concerned about that. Because your show is next.

And before you come at me with "it's just a show, have you seen what's happening in the world?" Yeah. I fucking have. And the arts matter. They have always mattered. It's how we've shared stories and fostered communities and passed down what's important to us as a society. And they've brought us joy. And I don't know about you, but I think we could all do with a fuckton more joy in our lives.

This is absolutely a huge loss, and unfortunately it's not going to be the last as streaming services continue to go deeper in crisis. If that doesn't concern you, idk, go enjoy yourself watching season 47 of The Bachelor.

"sounds nice... having a partner"

[crystallizsch]

ughghg hi i hate to be serious or be such a downer but i really need to put this out there because some people are getting too comfortable.

but then again it's partially my fault because i let it happen --

this is more pointed towards strangers, so if you know we're friends/mutuals you're cool 🫶

anyways just want to point out that if we're not close especially, it doesn't give you an excuse to treat me like i'll be fine with everything that you'll say.

i can handle jokes, i love joking unseriously with anyone, and i just love talking with people in general and usually the interactions aren't that deep.

but there's a line between genuine playfulness and thinly-veiled insults/mockery. saying "sorry" or anything like "/j" doesnt change that.

and yeah i'm aware this is especially hard to discern because people's actual tone over the internet can be perceived differently. and sometimes people aren't aware that they're being rude. so that's why i usually give people another chance.

it's just to the point that when it happens over and over again where it stops being coincidental. plus i usually just try to trust my gut whenever i feel uncomfortable with people from the get-go.

idk what else to say but please remember i'm also just another person. and that applies to everyone else here. you're free to say whatever you want but that doesn't mean you're free from any pushback.

[not-so-rosyyy]

I'm not trying to blame anyone or anything. I'm just genuinely curious and would love to read your thoughts on why Z (who is getting way more hate than Tom and not only on twitter) is never defended the way Tom is. You can say it's rooted in racism so there's no point in interacting with it, but I think it's just lazy dismissal, I don't see other black creatives constantly getting called overrated. Where were tomdayas and all the blue checkmarks that defending Tom now back in May when Z was shredded over challengers box office numbers and viral thinkpieces were made about her not being a movie star?

mostly just ignoring asks like this these days because you've been trying to push this narrative for years and it’s like bitch can you come up with another lie already it's getting boring, but:

1. if you're looking for viral thinkpieces on twt defending z everytime she gets attacked and you're like ‘hmm, I wonder why no one's saying anything’ then, honey, YOU ARE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TWT. fix your algorithm.

2. if you're looking for tumblr tomdayers defending z when she gets whacked by industry and film randos (sans incels and racists who shouldn't be given engagement at all) and you don't see nuanced discussions on bipoc and sexism in the industry on the dash then, girl, YOU ARE SIMPLY NOT HERE.

just constantly living inside that made-up world in your head omg. next!

what is 'cpsm'? and what is it about? and do you know where I can read it

cpsm is tged's more ambitious little sibling. even a bit gayer than it too. which is saying a lot tbh

serious answer now, cpsm or Crown Prince Sells Medicine is a novel written by bk moon set in the same universe as The Greatest Estate Developer and I Became The Dragon King's Chef!

it is set 300 after the events of tged, with our protagonist being Lee Han, a korean doctor who after falling from a bridge wakes up as Rakiel Adria Magentano, imperial prince and background character who dies one chapter into the novel he just finished reading the other night.

him <33333

and if the name and silver hair didn't give it away he's also a descendant of lloyd and javier.

unfortunately the body he just possessed is terminally sick and so rakiel now has to cure other people in order to gain bonus lifetime one day at a time.

and he also has to find a way to stop the world-shattering disaster that's coming by finding damian cayenne, the protagonist of the novel he's now living in, and keeping him safe by all means necessary. he's the cutie in the back <333

this is just. the very beginning. so much happens in this novel. it is even more fast-paced than tged which, again, is saying a lot! the start of the novel is a little slower and i do think it takes a bit more to get attached to all the characters, but goddamn, once it gets going it really fucking gets going.

i don't know what more can i say without giving all the fun surprises away but. god. dear fucking god. it is,,, it is so good.

it has its issues, i won't deny it but also don't ask me what are they because right now i am drunk in serotonin from having just finished it. it is also 613 chapters long so like. it would take me a long time to give a full review lol

all in all i really, really recommend that you read it if you like tged. it is so worth it imo.

there is also a manhwa adaptation of it! it is just starting, it has less than 30 episodes as of rn, but it seems to be going pretty well! as always, the novel is better, but it does a good job introducing and endearing the characters to you! i recommend you read the manhwa at the same time as the novel to get a better experience!

anyway. i love my little guys very much <33

is it really that hard to not ship a SA victim with the mf that SAd them

[youssefguedira]

look the thing about harry potter is that i don't actually care what you do with it. i, and others, can ask you to leave it in the past all i want, but fundamentally i don't know you and i can't stop you from doing anything if you want to buy harry potter merch or even just keep reading the books or whatever. but on the other side of that, if you're still doing those things in 2024, especially if you've got your hogwarts house in your bio, you're still engaging with it publicly, i will not trust you and probably won't want to interact with you, irl or online. especially if you're not from the uk, because at the end of the day she's doing the most damage here.

but also - you don't have to announce that you still do those things! if you don't actively engage with the fandom anymore or buy anything but you still rewatch the movies or reread your copies of the books you don't have to tell everyone you're doing that. you do you, random stranger on the internet, but i won't trust you, and i can only speak for myself but if you feel the need to announce and ask for absolution for still liking harry potter you're not gonna get it from me. work through that yourself

blinks tiredly. i decide "hm maybe i should try to expand my circle and step outside of it a little, lets go look at the main community tags" and im just greeted with a bunch of edgelords who think saying "fiction doesn't affect reality, don't like don't read" is peak activism and "fighting censorship". head in my hands. this is partially why i do not ever go into the community tags, my nervous system cannot handle blocking fifty weirdos every single day just so i can have a normal experience in the community tags hfdsjkl

i struggle with an absolutely dreadful and massive art block that makes it stupidly difficult to even pick up my stylus for years.... and then that art block just randomly gets completely shattered to pieces by This Fucking Guy

and honestly i can't even be mad about it

[moonisagremlin]

a proshipper appeared on my dash brotha ewwwww

WHATS EVEN WORSE IS THAT THEY SHIPPED SPYSCOUT EAUUUUAAGHHHHHH I FEEL LIKE THROWING UP I SWEAR 😭😭😭😭 just them being a proshipper was already bad, but seeing that they shipped that monstrosity + the fact that i love spydad so much made it worse for me.

i hope they die badly.

Proshippers stay away from me

[princelancey]

Bios stating "No HaTe In CoMmEnTs" and then the content being "omg I love rpm haha" and slurs towards lance just makes me want to never interact with f 1 online ever again 🫠 my lovely sweet mutuals genuinely keeping me sane and here icl

[prettyymafia]

idk i think i'm really good at ignoring people in general so i find tumblr users making callout posts over a controversial opinion their ex-mutual made so nonsensical and terminally logged on lol
