NEW Enhanced Edition - CHICON 2009 - Main J2 Panel

Direct link to video. Link to YouTube channel. (14 videos available.)

My latest video is finally up. 48% of the footage came from the video AgtSpooky sent me. Her video was already on YouTube, but not properly credited to her. My other main source (41% of the video and most of the audio) is shown in my comparison screen shots below. All sources, even if I only used a few seconds' worth, are credited with links on the video description.

This is a long one at 68 minutes! As usual, there were many funny moments. There were also two separate times when Jensen went into older brother mode and helped Jared with something.

I'll be working on CHICON 2010 next, which is the next convention that I have videos from AgtSpooky for. Those videos had also found their way onto YouTube, but once again were not credited to her.

Also I want to credit @j2spntranscripts who has truly incredible video-finding skills. They've found some lesser-known clips that I hadn't run across on my own. I've referenced the videos they've found to help refine my subtitles if nothing else, and sometimes to provide a better view of the action for small portions of the video. They also have some impressive playlists on YouTube that not only collect all of those earlier con videos they've found, but also put them in order. (It's still a work in progress, but they've done a lot already!) And they're not only in the order that the panels occurred, but all of those many short video clips are sorted in the order in which those clips took place within each panel!

Before/after comparison photos...

A recap for anyone not familiar with this project…

In December 2023, I started this project to enhance old convention videos. I'm upscaling the videos and making other visual improvements, adding extra content to clarify various references, and adding good color-coded subtitles so you can better understand the sometimes-chaotic audio.

My goal is to publish the best, most complete, and most watchable versions of these older convention panels yet seen, but this is only possible thanks to the fans who captured the footage in the first place and were generous enough to share it with other fans. My video descriptions on YouTube will always credit my sources.

If you have any old convention videos you'd be willing to contribute to this project, please message me! I can also be reached at DetailTilted@gmail.com. Even if your videos are on YouTube, the original files, if you still have them, may upscale much better. If I can get them to upscale, I'd happily send the upscaled files back to you for your own collection whether I use them or not.

ARCHIE-SUNSHINE'S FAQ!

Hi!! I'm putting this together as a quick helpful post to clear stuff up regarding my inbox, because I've been getting a lot of similar questions and I want to be able to tap a sign to let people know what they gotta know without putting in so much effort!

So, here's my FAQ for my inbox!

1: What drawing software/hardware do you use? Are you a traditional only artist?

I use clip studio paint and an ancient wacom tablet that's been chugging since 2018 :] And I also do traditional art, specifically as a way to pass the time in my college classes! my preferred drawing pens are a the 0.5 POLOP Fruits Clip, the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush pen, and the Pigma MICRON Plastic Nib, and i colour with ZEBRA mildliner highlighters!

2: Is your Inbox getting my message?

Yes it is! I just usually have around 100 other asks in my inbox that im also working through!! If your ask was super nonspecific as well, I might have deleted it because I didn't know where to start!

3. Are you taking commissions?

I open commissions typically once a month to once every other month!

4. What are your thoughts on [Insert TFP character here]/why don't you like tfp

I don't have any because I only watched half a season of that show and got bored to death! and i dislike the show because the pacing is weird, the writing is sub par, the characters bore me to death save for a few notable exceptions, the music is boring, the designs are weird and complicated, and every attempt at comedy falls flat. aka, its just not my cup of tea!

Additionally, over the year I've been posting on this blog, I have been asked at least once every single month for an answer to this question, and it hasn't changed and people still don't read my faq. and suspiciously after three of those times, my blog has been mysteriously pixelated.

... I'm not saying anyone reported me. But im not not saying that.

So thats another reason i don't like tfp.

5. Will you draw/What are your thoughts on MPREG/MECHPREG

I don't like pregnancy when it involves a fetus, though I do enjoy dirty talk and scenarios surrounding breeding! I do enjoy oviposition/egg laying, but I prefer it as part of a monster fucking scenario.

6. What would you think [insert character/pairing here]'s kids would look like/what would [insert character] look like as a kid/do you think [insert couple here] would be great parents?

I don't like talking about kids or children!! and I don't like talking about couples as parents in general!

7. Can i make fanworks of your ocs/AU/fics/art?

YES!! YESYESYES ABSOLUTELY PRETTY PLEASE YES ALWAYS AND FOREVER! All i ask is that you tag me or send me the link to wherever youve posted this, feel free to gift me stuff on ao3 if you like as well, genuinely nothing brings me more joy than inspiring other people so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE feel free!!

8. What are your limits for commissions?

I drew up a helpful little chart for it! anything not on here, you can dm or ask me about!

SBMS Clowning Series ☀️ v.4

I can’t believe we’re so close to the finale which is episode 36. It’s always so fast when these dramas are released but i’m not complaining that we got it faster than his other dramas. We also have a lot of content — from photos, bts and interviews. 💪🏼

The reason why I want to make this part of the round up is this scene in SBMS, it’s the last scene that the crew shot which is when SY and JB were watching fireworks. Especially the line JB said. I think i’m not the only BXG who thought of XZ’s wish for WYB when they heard this : “I hope you don’t come to the complicated and boring world of adulthood soon. It means i hope you grow up slowly.”

It’s a pretty popular CPN that the long bday messages are made by ZZ so to hear something similar in the show is sus. You can say that it’s a usual “wish” or that ZZ is not the scriptwriter. and that’s right. However, ZZ has improvised a couple of scenes in this drama. ZZ has worked closely with the scriptwriter and director of the drama — so we cannot remove the possibility that he may have brought up this line or idea.

there are instances in this drama when we CPNd and thought that ZZ improvised it and we were right. for example accidentally holding JB’s hand @ the subway or the thing about you s/o being your “charger”. so i’m not gonna be surprised if one way or another we get a confirmation about this. 💓

anyway, moving on to other stuff…

SOME SIMILARITIES/ Coincidence:

• “Eating” the tissue after eating. Normal people will just wipe it or will do that but not for long like they do. With the examples, it looks like WYB does this more and GG was infected. Lol.

• The BGM of recent douyin posts from both sides is the same 🙃. I don’t know how popular this song is now in douyin, cause this is tiktok after all certain sound clips become popular and everyone start using it. But it’s interesting that it’s videos posted the same day.

some are saying that since the SBMS post was “romantic”, this is WYB’s answer. He is matching the BGM. Also the caption ( YBO official ) had a star emoji in it. Why didn’t he just make it the sun 😂😂😂 I think the star can be connected to the Douyin update from the day before, where ZZ was holding a star toy.

• This will make the most sense to those who watched the recent episode, but there is a scene where SY asks the “bear” if Jian Bing is the most beautiful and it lights up meaning yes. Lol. That kind of shamelessness in praising reminded us so much of WYB!!!!!

• XZ WHERE DID YOU LEARN THIS MOVE HUH? Is this one of your improvs? I’m screaming!!!!

It’s like he got tips from the things WYB did before, who was younger than him and what worked to make him like/love the gremlin more. 🤣🤣🤣

• For some next level clowning, in ZZ’s weibo video post — what number do you see? 8? 👀

==============================

Interview highlights. This covers ZZ’s recent content for SBMS promos. Ones that remind us of bjyx clues and symbols. Just to disclaimer that the purpose of this is not to portray ZZ as someone who can’t be his own person. How we always have to connect things back to WYB in everything he says does not mean any harm. It’s all CPN. We are very much aware that ZZ is his own person. 😌

SINA INTERVIEW:

What stood out to me was when he talked about evaluating himself everyday so he can improve. This is something similar that he has with WYB. They only want to be better and expand their skill set. They are also open to criticism.

There was also a part where he talked about equality in relationships when there is an age gap.

“being equal in any relationship, no one is higher or lower than anyone else, everyone is in a very fair and equal relationship and in getting along.”

Do you have some experience in this ge? I have to say they are equal — especially in spoiling each other. ^^

AND LASTLY HOW HE expressed his interest in playing a charming and cute villain. Lol. He said a couple of times already, someone please listen. WYB already did Mister Ye who is sort of the villain. I hope ZZ can play something like that too.

RUXI INTERVIEW

His answers tend to very similar in these interviews and i think that’s largely because the questions are similar. Especially they ask about his experience in the drama or his interpretation of Shengyang as a character.

But in this interview, he was asked about being an actor and his answer 😭😭😭

I’m definitely still on the road to acting and becoming an actor myself. This road is still very long. I have to walk it step by step in a down-to-earth manner. It’s more interesting to me.

I mean. Just look at the tagline of my blog. Yep, the road ahead is long. We will be here for you ^^

FOX FACTORY INTERVIEW

How he talked about memorizing his co stars line as well. Some CPFs are speculating that this started with CQL. It’s because him and WYB were sharing one script book. Which btw, he never did again with his other co stars.

THIS PART which made me giggle. They were asking about the heroine he would want to play with and he completely goes back to his desire of playing the villain 🤭 If you don’t wanna answer it, just say something else. Of course a co star is important, but I think for ZZ, he is more into his role as an actor. He is focused on himself.

Also this one. A very thrifty GG! Practical. It’s in line with the fake rumors that he scolds WYB for impulse buying 😅😅😅

-END.

Bringing this back for part 6. I haven't been writing lately and just needed something fun and easy to do to bring me back into it. Enjoy.

Jill: Birthday dinner for John tonight at 7. Don’t be late.

Lawrence: Do I need to bring anything?

Jill: If you want to bring a side or a dessert. Oh and some plates.

Lawrence: Sure thing. Do you have a preference of what dish it is or brand of plate?

Amanda: aren’t all paper plates the same?

Mark: No, apparently some are stronger and some are thinner. 

*Adam Standheight sent a photo*

Jill: Adam, I normally don’t ask questions I don’t want to know the answer to, but what the fuck?

Amanda: MY EYES!!!!!

Mark: Could’ve gone my whole life without seeing that.

William: It looks broken?

Logan: How did you break it?

John: Have you been to the doctor?

Adam: SORRY!!!!! WRONG MESSAGE THREAD!!!!!

Adam: It was meant for Larry only. I wanted his professional opinion on if I should go to the doctor.

Lawrence: Adam, you have a compound fracture in your forearm. How are you not at the hospital yet?

Adam: Because I am stuck. 

Mark: Where? I’ll come get you.

Adam: Funny story. I stopped a robbery. Two big dudes were trying to rob a lady of her purse. I took pictures. They saw me and chased me. They left the lady alone.

Amanda: And they beat the shit out of you?

William: Did they do this to you?

Adam: No. They never got the chance because I ran fast. I made it to the rich people lake houses and went to jump over a canoe. 

Jill: Did the canoe somehow break your arm?

Adam: Technically yeah. My foot clipped it and I landed weird on my arm. I rolled down the bank a little and I’m now caught in a net of some sort. I panicked and now I’m just here.

John: Do you know where you are?

Adam: In a net. I feel like a fish. Or a butterfly.

Adam: Oh shit. I hear voices. 

Adam: It’s the homeowners!

Lawrence: Adam?

Mark: Adam?

John: Are you okay?

Amanda: What if they killed him?

Logan: I’m sure he’s fine. The homeowners are probably shocked.

William: Mark, you’re a detective. Detect where Adam is.

Adam: I still live. The homeowners helped me out of the net and gave me ice. They called an ambulance for me so now I’m waiting outside on the front porch. 

John: Are you okay?

Adam: My arm is throbbing.

Lawrence: Naturally with a compound fracture. Any other injuries?

Adam: None that I can feel right now. My body has pretty much gone numb except my arm. 

Lawrence: Try no to move your arm anymore. I’ll meet you at the hospital. 

John: Me too.

Jill: Lawrence, what do we need to do to make Adam a bit more comfortable when he gets home?

Lawrence: Make sure he has something to prop his arm on, we’re going to need ice, some cloths to put between the ice and his cast, over the counter pain medicine. 

Lawrence: Adam, did you break your dominant hand?

Adam: Whatever the left one is.

Lawrence: You’re right handed so you’re good.

Lawrence: If anyone has a small stress ball, kind of like the ones you use when you give blood, he’ll need one. 

Adam: What is all of this for?

Lawrence: You. You’ll need to prop and ice your arm to try to prevent any more swelling, the pain meds is to make sure you don’t get too dependent on the heavy stuff the hospital will more than likely prescribe, and the stress ball is to keep your hand moving.

Adam: Hey Chris and Pam’s daughter just came home. It’s the girl I helped.

Adam: Her name is Claire.

Adam: She hugged me.

Adam: We’re all hanging on the porch. I hear sirens.

John: I’ll meet you at the hospital.

Lawrence: I’m out front, John. You can ride with me. 

Adam: I feel bad. What about John’s birthday dinner?

John: We’ll postpone it. You’re more important.

Jill: I’ll order us some pizza. Extra cheese, Adam?

Adam: Yes please.

Amanda: I call dibs on signing your cast first.

Spilling All the Secrets

Oscar Piastri x OC!Grid Psychologist

No one knew exactly who was the cause of the newly employed "grid psychologist", they just knew that one had been hired and the entire grid was required to sit down for a meeting to establish a "baseline".

There was a reasonable amount of pushback, but with a lot of convincing from the team principles, everyone had agreed to their individual meetings, they all just had to be introduced first.

"Ok folks, the responsibility has been given to me to introduce you all to the FIA appointed psychologist that you will all be meeting with once a week between media duties on Thursday," Toto explains, glancing to Christian who stands behind him, the two most imposing of the principles assigned to wrangle the drivers. "This is Ms. Beatrix, she pursued a degree in psychology from Harvard, earning her masters from the same institution, digitally."

"Given her degree and understanding of human behavior, as well as a special knowledge of Formula 1, she will be a fantastic addition to the paddock," Christian adds, nodding offstage to a woman with blonde curls piled on her head in a clip, a white button up tucked into black pants, absolutely no clear association to any team. "Come on up, miss."

"Please, just call me Bea," Bea addresses not only the principles but also the crowd, consisting of 20 men who devote their lives to speed. "And hello, it's a pleasure to be here with you all," She greets the boys in what sounds like a Dutch accent. "As you have been made aware, you will each be meeting with me once a week, just to chat. Whether you want to tell me all your deep dark secrets, " Cue an elbow to Max Verstappen from Lando Norris, "Or just use the time to cool down, either is perfectly okay with me. I'm not here to force you to talk, I'm here to make sure you're all in your best head space to safely do what you love."

"Does anyone have any questions for Bea?" Toto questions, looking over the boys.

"Don't be afraid boys, I don't bite," She assures, accent getting even thicker as her smile grows.

"Where are you from?" Logan is the one to speak up, Oscar shoving his shoulder at the bold question.

"I grew up in Zonhoven, Belgium until I was thirteen, and then went to boarding school at Château de Rosemont in near Paris," She answers, having no issue. "The accent just never got the message, if that's why you were asking Mr.Sargent."

"So you know who each of us is?" Carlos asks, one thick eye brow raised in question.

"I do. I was informed on the basics of each of you, Mr.Sainz."

"Will you be traveling with us?" Oscars voice is the next to ask, a faint blush covering the woman's face.

"I will," She answers, nodding gently. "My daughter and I will be traveling with you from race to race."

"Daughter?" Checo asks, accent as thick as his judgement.

And she can't help but sigh, "Yes, my daughter. She's almost 8 months," She confesses, and although you can sense the insecurity, the twenty-two year old smiles at the thought of the baby, their baby.

"Well, I think I can speak on behalf of the whole grid that we look forward to sitting down with you," Lewis says, making her smile.

"As I all of you. Prepare to spill all the secrets."

oscarpiastri is thrilled that his wife and babygirl will joining him on the GP circuit this season (does this count as spilling all my secrets?)

oscarpiastri i can neither confirm nor deny?

psychologist.bea i can. he's my husband, much to logansargeant's chagrin

logansargeant i will be talking about this in my session.

[ericeffiorg]

it’s taken me 3 seasons to realise this but the only people on ted lasso that are allowed genuinely complicated stories are the white characters and it’s been the case the whole time, this third season just kind of confirmed it.

as nice as sam’s story felt, it was really nothing more than surface level and just felt like a replica of what we’ve already seen in the media. portraying real stories is what can makes television really compelling, but when the televised story is basically a cut and paste of a news article or a documentary without giving the characters depth and long-term storytelling, then what is the point? it was a surface level story to get the clicks and the viral moments that can capture the heart of people who watch a random clip on tiktok or twitter and don’t need any more context, because there isn’t really much else needed. unlike the build up of jamie and roy’s hug, ted’s panic attack, keeley’s first kiss with a woman, or ted being betrayed by nate, sam’s story can literally be chopped up into a single clip at a time and no more context is needed to get what’s going on because it really wasn’t given any detailed aspects. and to be honest that’s what sam’s character has been this entire time.

the notion of the show is to fight evil with kindness and that works when your friend is being mean to you or your mentee betrays you like it is with ted’s stories. but it doesn’t work that way with someone like sam. his role in the show since the beginning has been “the good immigrant” that fights violence with kindness, despite being confronted with more violence than anyone on the show. he was told to stop speaking about his people by the prime minister and his restaurant was vandalised, yet it only made up to no more than a 1/3 of the episode. other much less important moments had more screentime in an episode that depicted a very real scenario that we literally saw happen a year ago. and even then, ted got to interrupt his moment with his dad and steal the shine, and then it was made about the entire team coming together rather than the deadly discrimination against immigrants and violent racism.

the people of colour on this show are only really used for quick gags and to show that men can be silly and goofy too and to have a big middle finger to toxic masculinity - which in turn is kind of just repeats the same toxic masculinity points because other than jamie and roy, the other men��s “anti toxic masculinity” messages are just covered in humour and never taken seriously. isaac’s journey to becoming the captain of richmond was all about roy and we never really saw his point of view other than a few scenes. and then it felt rushed. dani is just like sam, except the only time he ever speaks is to have a funny moment where his kindness is the butt of the joke. and even though he’s not a person of colour, colin’s coming out story has been so incredibly surface level that i don’t even know why they bothered to do it. nothing new was given, it was just a white man in the closet who has a boyfriend and gets caught. you can describe his story to a stranger and they could probably find it done on riverdale but with more screentime.

and nate’s redemption arc is about a white woman finally seeing him as a human despite the fact that he was never actually mean to her and just wanted to please his parents in a place he never really felt welcome. he was horrible to ted and richmond, but that jade lady was horrible to him from the get-go and we’re now supposed to see this as very sweet and sentimental.

the show is written for white audiences and doesn’t do anything daring, and i feel like it never actually did. maybe it was because it premiered during such a dark time and it was nice to see grown men in typically toxic environments be the opposite, but i don’t think the show is nearly as clever or as groundbreaking as it has gotten the credit for.

one direction history post: strange merch

hi everyone! i'm starting a small series of one direction history posts just to combine my interests in both history and the boys. these won't be super in depth, more so showing and telling. this first post is about some weird and strange merch choices one direction's marketing team has attempted to sell us throughout the years. i got these screenshots from the wayback machine looking at onedirectionstore.com, their official store. they are separated by era solely based on what was present on their shop at the time of each of the boys albums. these merch items are not a reflection of the albums themselves (which you'd think their merch team would try to appeal more to the aging fanbase as years went on), they all seem to me to be more geared toward how much they can attempt to get us buy. i now present to you the weirdest, most dated one direction merch i could find <3 enjoy

X Factor - Up All Night

what is this for, who is this for, why is this one of the first accessory items ever posted on the one direction store??? what was the initial demographic of the one direction fanbase?? idk when i was 10 i didn't need this, i would enjoy one now though

if you guys remember silly bandz, you are a veteran.. also give us toledoans credit where it's due because one of ours invented these bad boys

finally my iphone 4 will be decked out in the one direction collectors set

this was also the start of their personalized messages section of merch you could buy. surprise your loved one with heartfelt messages such as 'birthday girl' or 'merry christmas daughter'

Take Me Home

from here on out, this and two other photos are the only photos their team decided to make merch with. there is two other duvet sets that use those other photos, even in their later eras

sometimes i wake up in a cold sweat remembering these existed. if i can find my louis mask, i will wear it to fitfwt

if any of you have this keyring or the singing toothbrush, send me a clip of it singing please or if it is able to sing. i am so curious im on the edge of my seat

NAIL TEMPORARY TATTOOS

Midnight Memories

i literally do not know what this has to do with music, one direction, or anyone associated with one direction

i need to point out, these one direction watches came in literally every single color you could imagine. i do not know why they are merched inside of a can?? but they were the it-girl of their merch during this era

speaking of cans, WHAT IS THIS

would any of you fine people want to buy a 1d girls glitter strap shoe? it is merch like this that really reminds me one direction was moreso a brand than a band to their team

Four

kudos to their team for picking a more recent photo for the era, but also who would want this

do you guys remember the craze of this specific type of lamp

if the scooter isn't your speed, how about this one direction 16" cruiser bike make with old uan era font, color schemes, and photos?

Made In The AM

i am only putting this mitam find in here to point out something that i found crazy. this shirt was on the one direction merch website only one month after march 25th, you can see how quickly their merch team shelled out merch without zayn on it. i didn't include anymore, but even their on the road again tour merch on the website quickly had zayn erased

i hope you guys all enjoyed this weird trip down memory lane if you can call it that, and liked looking at some of the weird merch their team used to sell. this is only stuff that stood out to me, i'm sure there's a lot more somewhere so if you have any, send them to me or feel free to add onto this post. if you own any of these, ESPECIALLY THE BIKE, please add a pic of them to this post lol

[a-queer-seminarian]

big ol' worry dump, i promise i'll post something rebloggable soon but i'm still processing everything and have not had time to write it coherently! cw queerphobia from the pulpit, church hurt, verbal violence, and brief csa mention (not a specific case)

SO. for anyone not keeping up, this past Sunday i visited my childhood church in ohio, and was devastated when near the end of his homily (Catholic word for sermon haha) my childhood pastor suddenly switched from celebrating the Spirit who bursts through closed doors to proclaiming that The Church Is Under Attack from people like the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. :/

After he finished and sat down, i stood up and got behind the lectern/pulpit to remind him and everyone in the room that queer and trans people have the Holy Spirit too, because his words implied otherwise. And i could not risk that any other person there felt suddenly and utterly alone — i had to make sure they knew that not everyone agreed with our priest's message.

(Here's a place you can watch a clip of the homily — obviously mega content warning for homophobia, please keep yourself safe and remember you are loved!! — as well as my response)

Not long into speaking, I was escorted peacefully out of the building. Two parishioners followed and found me outside, and thanked me for what i said. They were very sweet <3

As we were talking, another parishioner stormed out and got very, very verbally violent. It was scary shit.

Other parishioners eventually came out and led Scary Man away, thankfully. The church's other, younger & newer priest, Father Jim, also came out to apologize profusely to us. Then i went home. My wife and i flew home to Georgia the next morning.

____

and...stuff keeps happening.

i did not expect this to make the news, but it did. the Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote on it, and so have other papers across the country.

an officer called me to ask if i wanted to press charges on Scary Man. I don't, because i'm just not convinced the results would be helpful to actually stopping him from doing what he did again.

if anyone has resources or someone smart i could talk to for advice on alternatives to cops & court for a situation like this, please hit me up!!!

after agreeing to an interview with the Plain Dealer reporter, which used my first and last name, folks have been finding me on social media to offer their support, which actually has been so uplifting and i plan to post some of the messages later!

my parents are proud of me and support me BUT my mom is worried sick that someone is going to, like, find out where i live and come attack me. i'd be more worried that they find out who my parents are and go attack them, tbh.

i've had more sudden spikes of adrenaline in the past five days than i have in the past like, 2 years lol

i've also talked with more different individuals on the phone in the past five days than i had over the rest of 2023 so far

i was scrolling through twitter last night and randomly came across a tweet featuring a TikTok of a cut-down version of my priest's homily + my response...i really don't like what parts they cut out, or what they titled it. and it's got over a million views. :OOO

there's a lot of confusion in the replies — people who don't realize i'm a former parishioner, not an active one; people not knowing how to gender me which is fine but it's, you know, getting a little grating; and of course, people resorting to saying Father Tim must be "closeted gay" or otherwise have a Sinister Secret himself to say what he said...I hate that kind of rhetoric.

Not every person who spouts homophobia is secretly gay. The Biggest Homophobes are usually, shockingly, straight.

And flippantly suggesting that anyone, even a Catholic priest, is a pedophile without facts to back that accusation up only serves to harm csa victims — because then when there really is a case that needs to be pursued, people may not take it seriously.

one big thing that's bothering me about how everyone on every side of the debate is interpreting Father Tim's homily is they are focusing mostly on his condemnation of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence — and while I certainly oppose what he said about them, it's actually the first half of his message that scared me more: the stuff about the church being under attack and how Christians must defend it. He ended with a vague reminder to do so "peacefully," without any examples about how that's even done. And obviously, Scary Man didn't absorb that part of the message.

sigh. i was really hoping that agreeing to an interview with the plain dealer reporter who wrote the first article would give me a chance to explain why i felt i had to interrupt Mass, but unfortunately they didn't include those quotes. i'm really disappointed.

that article's title also says "attendee fired back," using exactly the kind of violence-coded language that I had a problem with in F. Tim's homily. So that's really unfortunate.

which is why i want to write up my perspective. i did send a long ass email to father tim the other night explaining what i did, why his message was hurtful AND fueled his parishioner's violence, and asking if we could talk about alternative ways to hold Scary Man accountable beyond the law. he hasn't responded yet.

anyway. yeah. it's been. a lot. good vibes and prayers are so very appreciated! and seriously, if anyone has resources about alternatives to legal action when we're dealing with someone who got very verbally violent and physically aggressive, i'd love some help figuring out what to do. also any thoughts about like, keeping myself safe? yeah

Anyway, gonna end with the affirmation that God made us Good; human diversity is what it looks like to be in the image of an Infinite creator; and queerness is a holy gift that the Body of Christ can't do without!!

Amen and amen.

I love it when anons write dissertations on taekook blogs just to try and make their relationship seem "normal" and exactly like the other members.

Tae was constantly hanging out with jk in 2023. So it took them 3 years to properly mend their relationship after the soop talk?

So Jk and tae were growing apart and since tae wasn't living with them anymore and jk decided to address Tae's mood and their relationship infront of their fans. Instead of writing that festa message, he would've idk, texted him? Instead of addressing their growing distance infront of multiple cameras capturing every angle, they could've talked privately? It's is what people do IRL isn't it?

"If they intended to make taekook follow a script of “being awkward” like you claim, then why did they basically fill ITS with alot of taekook being soft and affectionate with each other" well according to you there's different kinds of closeness. Physical closeness doesn't mean mental closeness. So why are you even taking a note of them being affectionate and soft? If I have any kind of awkwardness b/w me and my friend, I would not feel as free with them as I normally would. I wouldn't be as affectionate and soft with the friend who I have underlying issues with.

Tae left his own room to go cuddle with jk in its. Not to wake him up, just to sleep with him. Jk sat between Tae's legs, for quite some time bcs there were multiple cuts. The instances you gave comparing this are sometimes done as a joke(re. Jin grabbing tae's crotch) or things done for a purpose (re the water wiping). As for that jk caressing jm's bare skin, I've not seen that clip, but even so, those are seconds of touches, those touches don't last for eternity. That's the difference.

"We have seen Tae kiss or sniff Jin and Jimin on their napes" you've seen tae kiss jimin and jin's napes have you? Bcs as far as I remember he's done that only to jk, twice. Maybe your jk shapeshifted into jm and jin?

"eaten food that has fallen out of each other’s mouths" as far as I remember, only jk has done that, with tae.

"what does Jk consoling a crying tae mean" everyone, including jk, was crying that night. Tae was turning towards joon but jk grabbed his head and put it on his shoulder. He did not console anyone else, jimin did. Jimin went to hobi, tae, jk. He is always hyper focused on tae in stressful/important events. We've seen multiple instances where jk goes completely still when tae starts speaking.

"Jk cares about Tae just the same way he cares about all his members" way to generalize their relationships. Be a little mature about this please. I know people love to say that they love each other equally, but realistically that's not possible. There are members who are closer to one than the other.

STOP WITH THE DIFFERENT CULTURES NARRATIVE ALREADY. God I am tired of jikookers and solos bringing up the different culture thing to try and cancel everything that has no other explanation. They live in sk, not saturn. There might be some cultural nuances that might play a part in some narratives but completely dismissing everything...that's just idiotic.

Tae said he wanted to be closer to members in seasons greetings. But he said he had gone on a trip with jk, in '21. Before the wooga trip that you so happily mentioned. You sound like one of those jikookers who used to try and make tae look like the odd one out bcs of wooga. But he is hanging out with jk and wooga together. His friends supported only jk's solo. Wooshik only followed jk and tae. Idc how many times you all try to spin the "they are all equally close" narrative, tae is closest to jk in BTS. No other member hangs out with Tae's friends. You picked up fringes to prove that tae hung out with every member in chap 2 when even jikookers(atleast the sensible ones)know that tae and jk were attached throughout chap 2. Taekookers have a literal calendar to prove that 😂. Solo era, when they weren't obligated to meet everyday, they chose to hangout with each other. Eg, the day tae came back to sk, he was already making plans to go to jk's to eat makguksu(which btw they can't stop talking about), and he flew for that Celine event the day after that.

Tae has said multiple times that he used to share his troubles with jk, that they used to cry together. This is during the time when he had moved out. But according to you tae moving out was one of the reasons they grew apart. Yoongi texted just those two, they were together even when they received his text, no other member knew about it. During the worst year of their lives, they chose each other. How immature are you to believe that two people who have always been so close, who've always been there for each other, who share such a deep bond, will grow apart bcs one of them stopped being fun?? Are you kidding me?!!

So, to answer your question, yes, we do listen to taekook. They are the only ones we listen to. Maybe you should start doing the same. Instead of trying to find receipts that somehow make tae the aloof member, try to focus on your ship, if you have one( I think you do, the one that starts with j and ends with 13 😉)

Hi anon!

To be fair, I don’t think that anon is a jkkr, they usually insert Jm somewhere, which this anon hasn’t done. And I understand that if you don’t pay extra attention to Tae and Jk.. you just believe what is given to you. You take what you think you know of Sk culture and think.. yeah, skinship is just a physical act, it doesn’t speak to their connection.. all of BTS are close. But there are just such big differences between the extent of that skinship and the context around those moments between Tae and Jk and them and other members. When you don’t care to look at the context and the specifics of those moments though.. yeah sure it might all look the same and it fits in whatever you’ve been told to think.

All of BTS are close. Their food and drink sharing is troubling to me 😂🙈. Most of them love an occasional hug, some of them have occasional very little physical boundaries. All of that is a sign of closeness. But Tae and Jk go the extra mile.

If Tae and Jk just had minor awkwardness in their friendship this wouldn’t have been a point of focus in ITS, if Tae and Jk had medium to mayor awkwardness between them we would’ve seen that in the way they interacted physically.

I am not very eloquent about politics, and talking them stresses me out, but please, PLEASE miss me with any statements that the Dems needed to just step up/message to the left better/be more left/be more against the Gaza genocide in order to have won against Trump, and it's the Democratic party's fault we lost 2024.

I have a hard time believing the Dems ever could have gone left enough or been more believed about going left for people who could've easily looked at any Trump rally, any news about Trump's plans, and still thought 'yeah that guy winning and his white supremacy ogliarchy is preferable to anything the Dems had up on the table like merely calling for ceasefires in Gaza. '

If they wanted to be that willfully ignorant and stubborn and infight us into aiding a Trump presidency here in this reality, I have no faith that they will have been less so in any other reality rooted in the same history as ours. They still would've gone for the propaganda and psyops or just been burnt out and tired in any AU where Trump or his ilk could even be running. We'd have to have altered the entire history of US political parties from the very beginning to have a timeline where it even was possible.

Suggestions the Dems didn't cater enough to the left, or that they had to win us over to beat Trump also ignores the media and social media's biases and how they stifled what messages the Dems even did try to get out, the far deeper pockets the right has when it comes to advertising/propaganda, the right's propensity to lie outright and just make shit up- and let's face it, the shift towards the right that is happening around the world as well as here in the US.

And also let's face it, for a lot of Americans, it also was simply 'oh fuck we can't let a woman, much less a woman of color be in charge.' How much misogyny and internalized misogyny was affecting how people were handling who to listen to? Or racism, especially anti-black racism? No message from the Dems could ever win over people who didn't want a black woman in charge.

So, maybe the AU in which the Dems won 2024 is simply the one where Biden somehow put another, slightly younger, white man up for election when he withdrew.

However toothless Harris's calls for ceasefire in Gaza may or may not have been, Trump openly was from the very start campaigning for the end of Gaza and for Israel to 'finish the job'. Loudly so. Regardless of what targeted ads were saying the opposite to anyone not reading the news or seeing clips of his rallies. The motherfucker had instated a Muslim ban in his last presidency, many of the people rallying for him were the same people that have been wanting to tear down mosques and had been abusing Muslims since 9-11 if not before.

They also want to abuse Jews and tear down synagogues, for all that they're supporting Israel for their weird death cult apocalypse fan-fiction. Hell, the US Evangelical Christian right doesn't even like other Christian denominations, much less any other religion or the lack of it. I was raised Catholic and got to listen to evangelicals I knew around me rant about how we were idolators and not real Christians, and not really faithful to God and Jesus and how we were going to go to hell just like any other follower of false religions if we didn't repent and convert.

The Dems may have done it incrementally, and they're certainly not flawless or far enough left, but they're the ones who've made most of the forward strides at all for minorities, at least since the fliparoo where the Republicans courted the Jim Crow south. They historically have done more to help the US economy. They've historically been the main party to do positive shit for LGBTQ people.

The choice was them, or fucking Donald Trump with his cohort of people like Elon Musk and Matt Gaetz, with his campaign supported by all of the big corporations who don't like the Democrat plan to raise capital gains taxes and who don't like the FTC beginning to eyeball their monopolies as it has been under the Biden administration.

The choice was at worst a Democratic Status Quo Where Maybe We Just Will Stay Where We Are versus a convicted rapist and con man whose family history was all about racism and greed, who with his version of the republican party has openly wanted to deport millions of (mostly not-white) people from the US, and wants to at the very least shove all LGBTQ people back in the closet, but at middling and worst want to label us all sex offenders and get us in the criminal justice system and destroy us.

A man who with his VP pick was able to incite hate crimes in multiple US towns by claiming immigrants were eating pets or that Latino street gangs were running cities and neighborhoods. Who said openly and publicly that those protesting for Palestine should be treated harsher, even deported if not US citizens, who openly and publicly said he had a goal of deporting 2 million immigrants. Who during his first presidency and BLM gloated over and supported the militaristic and harsh responses to protesters then and called them thugs.

Who openly and publicly said his economic plan was tariffs, which impact the poorer people more. Whose party for decades has wanted to cut the US social safety net. Who openly want to gut safety regulations, environmental regulations, and who have only managed to not do all they want because they haven't had the amount of control needed in the Presidency plus Senate and House.

Whose pet Supreme Court Justices granted immunity to for any crimes committed in the name of being president. Who shouts about how he's going to 'get' anyone who's ever come after him. Who's been told that well, maybe it is legal once he's President again to have rivals fucking assassinated.

Who said he needed more generals to be like Hitler's generals.

If the left is as left as the left wants to claim to be, if the left were as smart and tactical as the left needs to be, if the left wants any of what they say they want- In a nation where statistically only one of two candidates could win because of how the system is set up- Harris should have been able to just fucking say and back up that she's not a white supremacist or christo-fascist and that she's not backed by the same huge corporations as Trump, that she wanted a ceasfire in Gaza and for diplomacy to take over, and she should've been able to win.

Oh wait, that sort of thing was said, repeatedly, by a lot of people, often loudly. But a lot of other people- apparently far more people- decided for whatever reason, none of that mattered. A lot of people decided anything good that could be said about Harris and the Dems wasn't good enough to be better than Trump winning, or that anything good about her, or anything said to underline we only had 2 choices was a lie.

And I'm expected to believe they'd have stepped up and acted differently if the Dems had just 'done better,' I'm expected to believe that anything that could be done without lies and breaking laws and funding like Trump's GOP does would have changed minds or opened minds when there was already so much on the line and they decided to hold it in the most harmful of ways?

That's like asking me to believe someone who will call me names or even threaten me for being a 'bootlicker' because I did vote, or who calls me a typical selfish white colonizer because I don't want social security, medicaid, and the ACA gutted, and I'm afraid to lose my SSI and my house (I don't want anyone losing their government benefits, but I believe that I am included in the anyone, I want everyone to have a safety net, I am part of everyone,)- it's like asking me to believe these people would ever actually be stepping up to help me or someone like me, or even someone they dislike more than me freely as part of community aid, or to believe they could effectively participate in some kind of armed rebellion without the rebel army splintering into 150 useless factions at best or start shooting each other as well as the fascists at worst.

And I'm all out of that kind of belief right now, until I see a hell of a lot of action backing it up from the non-voters. The ball is in their court and I'm not going to listen to them trying to convince me that if only the Dems had been a little more in line with their pure and flawless belief/morality system that they totally would've actually done one of the most basic acts of civil/community service that exists in a nation until I see what they do with that goddamn ball.

Lui is home and seems to be doing well. She got her first round of medication. Knock on wood, she seems pretty easy to give medicine to right now. Hopefully that doesn't change lol.

So. Basically it seems like somehow a chunk of her feathers were pulled out. Likely due to her wing getting stuck somewhere, though I have yet to truly figure out exactly what happened. What I feel comfortable saying is that I'm pretty sure her cagemate, Lestat, didn't do this to her. Also very unlikely it was self inflicted. So somehow her wing probably got caught on something and ripped her feathers out.

In the short term, she has no feathers there and it's somewhat of an open wound. She's getting antibiotics to prevent infection. She also has swelling and bruises on both wings, which is being treated with an anti-inflammatory which should also help her with the pain. With those treatment ongoing, I don't think she's in any great risk of death or anything. She's very shaken from the vet visit right now, but before we left she was acting very normal. A little more reserved than usual but still pretty normal. So I believe she'll be just fine.

Long term, it probably will take quite a while for her feathers to grow back but thankfully it is just a small area and the vet thinks she should be able to fly decently well even without those feathers. Right now, unfortunately, Lui has clipped feathers (which was done before I got her - I don't clip my birds' wings) so she can't fly at all. Once she starts growing in unclipped feathers, she should do very well.

For now, she and Lestat have been downgraded to a smaller cage, both for her safety while she heals (I don't want her falling several feet to the ground and hurting her injury!) and to make it easier for me to give her medication. She will continue to live with Lestat because they are extremely bonded and being separated stresses them both out. The vet said this is fine as long as Lestat doesn't mess with Lui's wound, which is something I haven't seen yet but will watch for.

I'm confident in saying Lui will be perfectly fine going forward. She has a long road of healing, but I'm not worried about this being a life threatening injury and once she starts growing in most of her feathers, I don't think this small chunk of missing feathers will hold her back too much. She's already surprisingly coordinated for being a cockatiel with clipped wings. Cockatiels are klutzes to begin with and taking away their flight feathers makes it way worse, in my experience (which may very well be one of the reasons this happened in the first place...), but Lui moves with a lot of grace and confidence so I'm pretty sure she's going to be just fine in the long term.

Thank you all for your kind messages of support.

The final cost of today was about $650. We may have to do a followup appointment but the vet said it might not be required if Lui seems to be healing well. They said to email them pictures of the injury and that may be enough for them to judge how she's doing.

You can see this post about helping me out. Any help people can give me towards animal food would really be appreciated. I had planned my finances around being able to schedule a few vet appointments this month for checkups and to get hormonal implants for some of the birds to help prevent potential egg laying, but this drained the money I had been planning to use for that. So if anyone can help me buy animal food for my babies, that would help me be able to afford the planned vet appointments.

Once again, though, I will say: Please don't feel like you *have* to help me out. These things will get done regardless, it's more a matter of how soon I can afford it and how much it will impact my other spending. The animals most certainly won't go without food, and if another vet emergency pops up they will get vet care, but I may have to delay the planned vet visits a few months (which isn't ideal but we'll be okay). No one is in danger of starving.

Once again, thank you all for your kind words. This really freaked me the fuck out. You never want to wake up and see your baby covered in blood. 😬 So I really appreciate all of y'all!

They recently saw each other after ten years of not seeing each other n now i need help to let her know and come claim her body before it's too late!! Please if u have details on who could've possibly hurt my friend inbox me or call me 7185008429... i will do everything i have to do" /ID]

[ID2: text messages that read, "they didn't even put it on the news dude. they just gonna throw her case away cause she was a h** or a stripper or whatever she had no family just close friends out here" /ID]

[ID3: comment by @lovely.e187 reads, "I live down the street where it happened&I didn't even know dammm that shit didn't even come out on our citizens app alert" /ID]

her name was Katrina-- her stage name was Russia. she was a young dancer and she was murdered on Friday, February 3rd, 2023. because she was a young stripper with no family support, her body is in danger of being incinerated by the state (interesting how quickly they're moving to destroy a murder victims body without an autopsy-- or at all, frankly, with how backed up state morgues tend to be). her murder has made no headlines; the only information you will find about her or her murder at all right now is from the video linked here, made by her friend, begging for information about Russia's murder or her family. the comment section is full of dancers who knew her, all devastated&demanding justice-- the only people, as always, demanding justice for another dead sex worker.

please, if anyone has any information on either Russia's murder (which took place in South Central LA, near Century and Main) or any next of kin that can be notified of her death so as to claim her body (her friends only lead is a mother that Russia recently reconnected with who she believes lives in either Ohio or Florida but may live in Maryland), please contact @iamjuicychild on IG or call at 7185008429.

to any&all sex workers, but especially workers in South Central LA right now, i'm sending all my love. stay safe&stay vigilant.

video dialogue by @iamjuicychild, posted on February 6th, 2023:

"I never thought I would be the one making one of these videos, crying on camera. I don't even like to cry, but listen, I need help. My friend was murdered on Friday. We need to find who the fuck did this to her. If you know her, her name is Russia, her real name is Katrina, we need information, I need this to be shared, please. Like, we need her mom to find out what happened to her so she can claim her body, or else the police is just gonna push her, like throw her case away and not investigate and not do anything. Please, if you guys could please share, if anybody knows anything-- like I know what happened to her, but if you have any info regarding her mom or who could have possibly set her up, please fill me in, you feel me? like she wasn't a bad person, it had to be personal shit. What happened to my friend? She was murdered. Like, she was young, she didnt deserve that. All she cared about, you know, was hustling, working. She didn't hurt nobody, she fucking loved her cat. And now she's gone. And we need her mom to find out, we need to find her so she can bury her and know that her daughter was murdered. Please, share this shit."

[atrwriting]

understandable. i too, had to pick up my jaw from the floor when i first saw him in that clip behind the scene after the weak punch jace delivered. it changed my brain chemistry.

i feel that way about rhaenyra. i hate her, but at the same time if you think about everything she’s done she’s pretty awful and that makes her interesting to me. any controversial characters end up becoming my favorites because they’re always way more interesting than the good ones. grateful that hotd is full of war criminals.

well twitter has fandoms. once you find one account in that fandom it’s pretty easy to find the rest, and then you’re basically in your own little corner on twitter talking about things you like with mutuals. it’s tumblr if tumblr wasn’t a dungeon where you interact with one person every 5 days.

i have that problem with other creators too, which is why i don’t bother as much anymore. you go out of your own way to send them a message and tell them how much you’ve enjoyed their work and how it’s changed your whole life, and all you get back is an “aww thanks”. very discouraging. like i’m trying to kiss your ass right now and you’re rejecting me? wow LMAO. then again you can’t really force people to engage with you so it’s nothing really

wow i’m putting my whole business on the timeline. i’m shy but i’ll message you if that’s okay because i haven’t spoken to anyone about the things i like in SOOOSOSOSOSOS long like my god i’m about to implode fr lmao

THE WEAK PUNCH!!! I KNOW!!!! like when he was just straight faced. i was like — oh — my god. oh my god. and his eyes are empty besides like registering prey if aemond is a predator? FUCKKK. i was like should i feel unsafe or turned on orrrr???? im not sure lmao

i’m also quite happy that hotd is full of war criminals LOL i think your analysis of rhae is so spot on. like i root for her, but why am i rooting for her?? why do i want to see her win even though i don’t trust her and i want alicent and aemond to just have one slice of happiness and what she has had???

i think i relate to alicent in a lot of ways and that’s why i can’t help but love her. she annoys the fuck out of me a lot — but also she’s so much stronger than me. like i would totally clap back at disrespect but she always remains poised because she knows if she waits for the perfect moment she can execute something way better than if she rushes a plan. i think my favorite scene is after viserys dies and she’s like battling taking the throne and what’s morally right and im like MY QUEEN 🫡🫡🫡

the twitter thing sounds so fun. i don’t see a lot of fandom memes but i would be so excited if there was just a platform (like twitter seems) for memes. what you said about the dungeon is so funny omg i’m cackling

dude i’m so glad you said the thing about rejection. like i know creators don’t owe readers like us anything, but like it’s tumblr — you don’t want to build community? like if you just wanted to write — why aren’t you like writing a book under a fake name or are just on ao3? like sorry to have bothered you ill just go fuck myself 😭😭😂

omg PLEASE message me we will be besties 🫶🫶🫶🫶

DBH MODDING (8) - NEW INFORMATION & SWAT CONNOR COMPLETION

Hello everyone and

Dear Diary

What a clusterfuck my last mod diary entry was, but like, in the best way possible since I learned a lot of stuff. Have a fully-complete SWAT Connor to celebrate! Here is a small photo shoot and another small photo shoot.

Here are some corrections and add-ons from my last entry:

SWAT Connor is in fact not something I have to keep private! I thought it was, but here is the full public step-by-step process to achieve SWAT Connor. I would've typed it out myself, but these instructions are from the source: Jamie. Can't get any better than that!

Kayla gave me a little more info about going into outfits and map swapping. Once I get into doing that, I'll definitely write out instructions.

In the comments you'll see a discussion about the DBH modding community. In reference to that, if you discover something or create something, please share it! I personally want to consume your content lol

It's 31/01/2023 and this is my third day posting in a row. (3X KILL STREAK). For measure of progress, I want to reference something I said in my first mod diary entry:

"I can't find info like this elsewhere. I have to figure everything out myself." Not the case anymore! As I get to know modders, they give me info and support! At the start, it all felt distant and information buried, but it's about looking in the right place and asking the right questions. "If anyone has any information or extra points, PLEASE say something lol." Still the case! If you know something I don't, please correct me! Reblog, reply, private message, ask, I don't mind.

If you need extra help from Jamie's tutorial on how to make SWAT Connor, here are some of my personal notes:

Connor's jacket is 00 00 08 B5 00 00 00 01 00 00 6D 84 (The string you need to find) and then the next 4 bytes you can replace with 99 99 99 99.

Originally, I used the browser model swapper to swap Connor (2) to Markus (Capitol Park). This means you don't have to do Jamie's first step. Additionally, I also swapped their walking animations.

To change Markus' backpack into Captain Allen, I searched for the backpack container (0D 9C 02 E1 08 00 00 1C C0 C7 00 13 17 2B 00 00 00 10) in my hex editor. Then, I copied Captain Allen's DATA_CONTAINER (18 B0 F8 00 00 B5 60 3F 00 A8 D8 EC 00 00 00 0B) from the data list (Steam version). On the hex editor, I highlight the backpack which should already be highlighted, but don't include the first two bytes which are 0D 9C. So only highlight 02 E1 08 00 00 1C C0 C7 00 13 17 2B 00 00 00 10. Press ctrl + R to bring up the replace option and the highlighted part should already be added, but double-check that at the start of the ID, the "0D 9C" isn't included. If it is included, delete it. Click on the textbox underneath and paste Captain Allen's ID into it. Click replace and save the file. File > Save. The backpack will be replaced with Captain Allen.

Basically, all these instructions boil down to this:

Make Markus with a backpack into Connor.

The backpack is like a shell around Markus, so if you put a model of a character in the same slot as Markus' backpack, it will shell around Markus.

The "base" character is who you put in Markus' shoes.

The backpack or "shell" is another layer which can be used for outfits or other model parts.

Make backpack into Captain Allen.

Make the textures of Captain Allen's face invisible so that you can see Connor.

Make Connor's outfit invisible so it doesn't clip through the SWAT armour.

Save your file.

Win.

This has unlocked unlimited wizardry for me, kids. Hope this helps!

~ Trinity

Hello exquisite people!!!

I hope everyone's doing good!!

Ha Ha Women ☕

If you are on any social media, like Instagram and Tik Tok, then you can understand the title very well.

But if you don't know (you're either living under a rock or you're an angel who's able to keep themselves away from social media toxicity) then lemme tell you, a clip in which two animated character can be heard saying "Hmph, women" followed by a laugh while sipping on their coffee, has gone viral and has now become a trend.

The clip of the animated character is from a video on YouTube called, "Infomercial: The Pill", posted on 9th October,2017.

Now taking inspiration from this trend (seriously?) people has started commenting this phrase (Women ☕) on most of the posts where females are shown doing something silly. (Basically stating every women is idiot and has no common sense.)

Like I saw this reel on Instagram where a girl walks into a glass door. And unsurprisingly the comment section was filled with "Women ☕". What does that even mean?! Do you think that this can't happen with boys? That the glass doors have magnet that only attract a person with long hair, face full of makeup and wearing a dress? (that's how you'd define "women", won't you? Typical.)*groans in exasperation* Let me just tell you this real quick, this the act of walking into the glass door, can happen to anyone regardless of the gender. I know it may come as a surprise but 'Men' can also accidentally walk into glass door. (Shocking! I know.) .

*there are many more like this*

Should we start writing 'Men ☕' below the posts that states "A man raped a women" again? Should we comment 'Men ☕' when we read about a husband beating his wife to death, again? Should we start saying 'Men ☕' when we hear about drunk fight break out between men on stupid topic? Why can't we write 'Men ☕' when a women is forced to abort or give up her new born girl child?

No. No, we can't do that. Because these same people, who get a kick out of writing 'Women ☕', will come out with a Big Banner saying "NOT ALL MEN ARE SAME!" . Oh, look at the irony, will ya?!

If you don't like to be stereotyped then DON'T stereotype others. (yeah, it's that simple.)

And you know what i have noticed? When someone does something stupid, they say "Oh! you are so dumb haha!!" but the moment a female does the same mistake, comments like "Girls are so dumb" and the infamous "Women ☕", are said. Do you really not see what the problem is? (I leave it to you to really think about it.)

What I actually want to say is we can't go around making assumptions and generalizing stuffs about anyone or any group of people, be it for men or women. It also doesn't mean that we start commenting 'Men' as a revenge or something because; firstly, it won't achieve anything and secondly we would be doing the same thing i.e. Stereotyping. If it's wrong when people stereotype women, then stereotyping men is wrong too. [ Stereotyping anyone is wrong.]

As you may have able to tell the topic hits too close to home. So thank you for reading my (not so) slightly intense rant. :)
