The fact that in house of hades Annabeth is like "Nooo Percy 😭 what you did wasn't good some powers should never be used like that 😰" and then the narrative actively decides to prove her wrong in Blood of Olympus? By having Percy listen to Annabeth's ideology and nearly get killed for it in his fight against Polybotes? He doesn't use his control over poison and nearly dies from it. Had Jason not convinced Kymopoleia to help them, Percy would have died. Listening to Annabeth would have killed Percy.

(and then Percy says that he deserved to die for what happened to Akhlys and Jason is like mood bro and it's never brought up again 😑)

And THEN, in the same damn book Nico literally turns Bryce Lawrence into a ghost and Reyna who has trauma associated with ghosts goes: yeah it was scary and reminded me of my dead abusive dad, but Nico we all have darkness inside of us and we should get to release it. Plus you saved us soooo ☺️

Yesterday, in NYC, a man lit a woman, who was sleeping in a subway car, on fire until she died. So the man arrested will be charged with terrorism as well as murder, correct? His attack was also threatening the lives of other homeless people (which it is assumed she was so). Surely he will also be charged with terrorism for scaring those people, right?

Or is it only terrorism when rich people are threatened?

Also, surely the fact the person who did this being an undocumented immigrant won’t be mentioned in every single news article about it, right? A woman was brutally murdered. Who gives a shit where the perpetrator is from, all we should care is that he is detained and punished.

Right?

We all agreed to this, right?

Or does race and immigration status only matter when a non-white and or undocumented immigrant commits a crime?

Same place, same police.

And I think we all know how differently this murder will be treated. And why.

#as far as I can tell she hasn’t been identified yet and it seems she was homeless #SHE WAS ASLEEP!#you could not have gotten more non threatening than what she was doing #it pisses me off that the media isn’t covering blake livelys lawsuit and horrific allegations but were so fast to capitalize on Johnny #depps lawsuit #it pisses me off this woman’s death will be nothing more than a small news article where it’s possible her name may never even be found #but both luigi and Thompson will have every single aspect of their live transcribed and memorialize fucking pisses me off #the fact that Thompsons murder will be portrayed as outrageous while this woman’s murder #a woman BURNT ALIVE #one of the most painful ways to die #will be forgetton #even if she is identified #there won’t be her picture everywhere hashtags about her journalists painstakingly documenting everything #the obvious hypocrisy in this murder compared to Luigi’s murder is obvious and painful #I know it holds so much symbolic value fuck American healthcare I am completely on board 100% agree #but I think people are so hypocritical criticizing police for only working so hard on a murder when it’s a rich guy (true) while the masses #including me #are obsessed with a case about two rich white men #I’m not at all saying what luigi did shouldn’t be praised and focused on and talked about not at all #but just as a current events and true crime girlie (derogatory) it just always bothers me that cases that go big involve rich white people #almost always #this post was meant to be purely criticizing how authorities are handling this case but ig also a slight condemnation for making this #attention so rare #does thins make sense #rae’s rambles #luigi mangione #current events

Big fandoms "die" because writers and artists and giffers get sick of being treated like content dispensers.

#exceedingly rarely does anyone want to critically engage with the things you make and post #they just ask for more #then go into your inbox and try to get more more more out of you #it fucking sucks man #and i still see them doing it to the creatives that do still post new stuff #new thing gets posted just to be sucked dry and half a dozen overfamiliar randoms slamming into your notifs telling you they want more #big fandoms are so much worse than small fandoms #having invested quite a bit in both #i can safely say I'm never joining a community this big again

I hate seahawk

I just hate him so much, he has no depth, I know he's a comedy relief character, but first he has to be funny, and comedy relief characters can still have depth, like Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club ANOTHER EXCUSE TO TALK ABOUT OURAN FUCK YES He is comedy relief, but he has trauma from being taken away from his mom for 3 years, and Ouran actually shows this in a realistic way and Tamaki is still a good person! Also he's actually funny. Now back to Seahawk. Seahawk is just so annoying and obnoxious, maybe it's supposed to be funny but it's just very awkward and weird. Also, tell me how old he is just by looking at the picture, judgeing by the fully grown mustache you would guess like over 18, right? Not many teens have full-grown moustaces. But...then he dates Mermista...a 17-year-old...eugh...

he also dated his father from the og series so that's fun...

#spop discourse #spop criticism #spop crit #spop salt #anti spop #spop critical #very rare non-catradora critique #this is why the account is call spop salt #because they did so much more wrong than just Catradora #It's laughable really

One thing I love about Ashton and Fearne is that Ashton very aggressively projects onto her all the things they want to be; blasé, confident, effortlessly loved, capable of shaking off anything. They see the best, brightest parts of her but it's an admiration that often obscures her real fears and sensitivities! She's not just the impulsive, flirty fae, she's really scared for her friends. She's a sheltered young woman who's never truly lost someone they loved before. Ashton connects instinctively with her whimsy, her need for challenge, the bouts of spite, the urge to shake things up, the "level of crazy that I'm kind of into" but he can't grasp the degree to which she'd be messed up if he died in front of her. Coming off of so many years of nihilistic self-pity, it's hard to recognize that your actions impact other people, and I think part of the reason they wanted Fearne is because they thought that exploding in front of her wouldn't be as bad as doing so in front of the others. Just take his stuff, it's fine!

(It's not fine.)

#critical role spoilers #ashton greymoore #fearne calloway #it's not quite manic pixie dream girl but it's in the same clade #both ashton and fearne have very maladjusted senses of each other!#they both think the other one is a little more down and cool than they are #so the entire dynamic is this one-upsmanship of playful teasing that only rarely breaks the surface #two people who are both going 'oh you're insane i need to step up my game!' is not a recipe for good choices #but in ashton's case he's genuinely bottled up his vulnerabilities under seven layers of redirection #because after the first couple of life-ruining horrors you have to have some fortifications #whereas fearne is for the first time in her life being confronted by the possibility of losing everything #and is having new real boy prime material plane feelings like grief and regret and guilt #so ashton's 'hey want to do something crazy this afternoon?' *explodes*#is hugely damaging for her

klay 0 points but he looked sexygorgeous doing it + lockdown defense + mavs WIN and dubs clinch so im leaving here with something 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

#nba #klay thompson #dallas mavericks #mavs lb #love when he makes shots but ive shrimply accepted that it is now a somewhat rare occurence which is understandable tbh given age/injuries #they could never make me hate u king #not even if u go 0/100 i srsly dgaf ur face card + beautiful soul more than make up for it i promise #freddie mercury voice #I look ... and i fiind ... I still love youuu #that said I really think people are not giving him enough grace or credit for all the positive ways he impacts the game #like he has set such an impossibly high standard for himself by literally becoming thee singular second greatest shooter OAT so #imo its pretty unreasonable for fans to demand him to put up prime klay numbers nightly when this team doesn't even need him to do that #to be able to win which is actually a good thing !!! not to be a +/- watcher but him just being on the floor opens up so much space for #everyone else because defenders will swarm him no matter what and he knows this because he is very smart !!!#I just have so much love in my heart for him and it physically hurts me to see anyone speak negatively about him after everything #that he's overcome and how critical he is of himself :( I just want him to feel loved :((#guys this is so stupid i don't even KNOW him and he still occupies a fairly large portion of my brain and heart 24/7 it's so badddd #steph and klay were my whole entire childhood and then i forgot about them for the year they were injured and then I remembered them again #after which they found their way back to each other and won the whole fucking thing !!! that's the shit of romcoms bitch !!!#and even if they really won't ever share a backcourt again (which pains me to even type out ew) I'll still love both of them #unconditionally i fear #and also forever #how can you not be romantic about basketball baby!!!#steph/klay #if you read all of this first of all im so sorry and thank you too lol :)

anyway though i'm gonna write an essay on why kyle isn't a nice guy/incel bc I feel like someone's gotta do it and I'm shocked I haven't seen it done already

#haha like i make jokes he is bc it's funny but i've been seeing ppl who genuinely think it and... odfsfsf #LISTEN you can think what you want. go off have fun. BUT LIKE. the show canonically doesn't really present that idea #and i wanna talk about that bc I think even going beyond my love for Kyle as a character #tratt actually have done some impressive writing around character tropes like that that sorta flip the idea on it's head #and write kyle in a way that's way more unique and intriguing as well as tied to other behavior of his that makes way more sense than #'oh he mad he didn't get the girl' or whatever #me talking #in general sp rarely writes its characters that generically. they're usually more complex than that and I appreciate it a lot #bc those tropes are boring and old imo as well as rarely being critical of the behavior itself which is often pretty sexist #and south park manages to criticize it while also completely going against it and someone HAS to discuss it bc if I don't. WHO WILL #probably someone else eventually but listen i'm gonna do it soon >:)))

seeing how some of you interact with staff/deal with changes makes me want to not use this site ever again lol

#the hate towards staff is WILD #don’t get me wrong #I’m all here for fair criticism #(which is rare on here anyways)#(because you’re all so fucking dramatic when it comes to any changes on this site lol)#BUT #I saw MULTIPLE people wishin death upon staff #do you realize how wild you all sound #screaming at these employees #who often don’t even have a say when it comes to changes on this website #like ??#show some human decency #I promise you tumblr doesn’t make these changes to upset you #and if you criticize fairly you will be heard #but put some common sense in #shut up sabrina #tumblr #nothing is more annoying than the tumblr user base after an update

having a lot of thoughts about how people use 'normalize' when they mean 'destigmatize' or 'make the nature of into common knowledge,' and how they conflate 'the perception of this thing as normal' with the thing actually being a normal occurrence, and how it is in fact incredibly harmful to try to convince people that an ideal situation is normal when that does not map onto their lived reality or the dangers they need to be aware of to avoid. it is 3:33am though so writing up an actual poast about it will have to wait for later

#whosebaby talks #this post brought to you by 'spreading awareness of what an abusive relationship is and looks like compared to a nonabusive relationship'#'is fantastic and i support it fully and think it's deeply important. giving people the false idea that abusive relationships are uncommon'#'and are flukes that go against the grain of society functioning as it normally does; is insanely dangerous to people who are potential #targets; and incredibly alienating and isolating and cruel to people who have already been targets'#'in uniquely awful ways depending on whether they're already aware of that or aren't. don't fucking do that'#it applies much more broadly than that; but it's an instance i think about A Lot and it's what led me to this line of thought to start with #there's also 'normal does not mean good and saying so has incredibly unbelievably harmful implications keep that shit out of your mouth'#but that is so obvious it boggles my mind that it has to be explained to anyone on this site; and it is talked about often enough #that i would rather focus on the parts i don't really see talked about much; if at all #also like the fact that 'statistically average' normal vs 'things are functioning as they usually do' is a critically important distinction #they are closely related and interplay heavily with each other but they are Not the Same Thing #and how 'normal' can refer to different layers and aspects of a subject--people with rare health conditions are not statistically average #and that by itself is fine. and those people having conditions that are disruptive to the usual functioning of a space or system #is avoidable in some cases by establishing as much infrastructure as possible to integrate their more common needs smoothly #and unavoidable in others; which means the normal functioning of a system/space that accommodates people with unexpected needs #has to account *for its normal functioning being disrupted sometimes*#and bend around that disruption without either breaking down or rolling right over the disabled people who Cause Problems #and at the same time 'rare health condition' gets applied to health conditions that are not rare *at all* to not only justify not bothering #to make the system integrate their needs in general when it could do so easily; but make it so that accommodating their needs anyway puts #immense and unnecessary strain on the system; so there is zero margin for anything you didn't specifically fight tooth and nail for already #anyway it's a really extensive subject and a fascinating one. for later. sleep now #abuse cw #ableism cw #the salt files #is there a name for that tag

I'm not trying to derail I am venting on my personal blog. No tags or hope for engagement or whatever.

But why the fuck am I seeing this sentiment popping up again and again today blaming transmascs in a situation where a cis man is being transmisogynistic? Why does this point get continuously reiterated? Like I know I have my own bubble but overwhelmingly transmascs are in support of the transfems on this site who are clearly facing a very transmisogynistic issue. But then to blame transmasculine people for disunity within the trans community when shifting blame on to us for something we are not responsible for?? I'm not saying that transmasc people cannot partake in transphobia and misogyny and transmisogyny but I dunno it just seems unnecessary to me in this moment.

This is not the main issue at hand. I am not pretending this is a bigger issue than the transmisogyny built into the systems of Tumblr and the internet and everything. But it is deeply frustrating to me

#also showing their whole ass with the whole 'tme means cis men too' with posts saying 'we should also be mad when tme people do this'#yes! you're right! we should be mad when people are transmisogynistic. but I thought it was already done by a tme person #according to the way transmascs get yelled at when we criticize that language #if someone has points against what I've said here I'm going to politely ask you to DM me for a conversation #cause if there's actually a good argument for these things I've yet to see it. it's so frequently vague posturing #like. it's so rarely backed up with any examples. or it's one trans guy doing bad shit that gets extrapolated to all of them #so like. I'll listen to an argument that's more convincing than that #anyways. once again this is bitching and moaning in my own space and nothing more than that

under the weather and re-reading his dark materials, never gonna understand how tf certain religious people get so mad at the critique of the organizations of religion in certain fictional works

#personal #not to get like religious on here and whatnot #but like when a writer makes an allegorical criticism of the catholic church for example #it's rarely a criticism of catholicism as a religion #there's very rarely any actually finger wagging at the concept of believing in a higher power or the structure of the religion #the criticisms often come down on the bureaucracy of the church #and a) that's more than fair ESPECIALLY when it comes to the catholic church and criticizing bureaucracy≠criticizing faith #b) as a faithful person how do you NOT want the bureaucracy to do better #the church is the intermediary between god and the people the pope is god's representative on earth #how do you NOT want that organization to be good and godly and doing well #how do you NOT want to be able to have it free of corruption and abuse #like the church itself has a long history of trying to fix its bureaucracy that's the entire reasoning behind the council of trent #and the counterreformation #the existence of the jesuits as a holy order with vows of poverty and instructions to always help others first #exists as a way to reverse the image people had of priests at the time as moneygrubbing selfish decadent asshats #who only cared about getting richer at the expense of others and never actually doing anything for the people #how does someone as a faithful person not look at critics and go 'yeah obviously they need to be listened to'#'so that we can have a better system to participate in when engaging in faith'#like i'm catholic i would LOVE to be a part of a church that doesn't abuse children or hate gay people #it's why i'm always so stoked whenever pope francis gets on his liberalism box and tries to fix it #it's why i'm always happy whenever father martin (if you know you know) gets prominent placements in certain vatican conferences #cuz hell yeah i want the church to better hell yeah i wanna hear criticisms and see how the church can be better #and make up for the horrible things it's done in the past #you're not faithful to a system of offices you're faithful to like god and jesus #and as such you should want the people representing them to be on the up and up #idk i woke up early and i'm on adderall as i said but i'm too sick to go to class today #so have this

Second time in about 48 hours that I have gone into the search mines to bring out a specific pride flag for my blog only to be met with either long or thoughtless posts about how x flag is the most inferior or y flag is the most superior while shitting on other flag designs. Like, I am all for making as many flags as you want — the more the merrier no monopolies here. I would just like for people to keep in mind:

Which communities (including geographical and cultural!!!) specific flags come from and why they were created.

You do not need to be represented by every single stripe for the flag to be applicable to you.

If a flag is featuring a specific identity there's probably a reason for that, I don't care if it's ugly.

Please cite sources and inspiration! Flags represent communities and usually come from community involvement and influence.

Seriously unless a flag was made purposefully to demean or alienate others it's probably fine. You don't have to use it or prefer it and you can be annoyed with it but it doesn't mean it's the end of the world.

#Apparently the polyam flag was '''''''''“officially'''''''''''' redesigned a year ago and I don't even consider polyamory to be #_inherently_ queer but I don't consider leather to be _inherently_ queer either and like the leather pride flag was like the second ever #pride flag and was used in a Pride parade across the country from where it was designed less than a month after it was revealed.#Anyways it's fine if aromantic or other polyamorous people don't feel like they have infinite love but #a) π is not infinite it is _irrational_ and it's decimal _expression_ is infinite and #b) π is literally just the Greek letter p‚ like the Greek rootword poly πολύς.#If you aren't a Black or brown person from Philadelphia then I don't really think it's your place to reject the Philly Pride flag.#Yes there has previous been a black stripe on a rainbow flag to represent AIDS. Colors can mean multiple things. The spectrum for visible #color for humans is only so broad and we are so good at coming up with meaning and nuance.#People talk about ''Queer is a slur.'' being a TERF talking point but I don't see nearly enough people talking about #''Not all intersex people want to be included in LGBTQIA+.'' as one too. I rarely ever see this coming from intersex people and I have #NEVER seen it on a post actually about intersex rights. It's always a throw-away comment when they're criticizing other queer people.#I'm agender and don't consider myself trans. It's fine if specific intersex people don't consider themselves queer. The I still belongs.#And even if it DIDN'T that would mean the Intersex-Inclusive Progress Pride Flag has MORE reason for existing not less.#If intersex people aren't inherently included in the rainbow flag then that means a flag representing the union of queer people and #intersex people has a PURPOSE and isn't redundant.#personal #...I might have used too many tags so that might not show on my blog. I forget if the limit is 14 or 20.#I just wanted to reblog pictures of the πolyamory flag and the 2017 Gilbert Baker nine-stripe rainbow flag and here I am getting annoyed #and irritated.#Ugh this is probably gonna show in search results too because I didn't censor anything.#Well while I'm pissing people off I will give my hot take that the biggest crime of the leather‚ trans‚ and lipstick lesbian pride flags is #all these dang white stripes in the center.#Other hot takes: More people need to take a leaf from the bi flag and vary their stripe widths please.#Also while it can easily be overdone‚ I like the symbols in the corner of the leather ❤‚ bear 🐾‚ and lipstick lesbian 💋 flags.#Also hot take I've posted before: the 8- or 9-stripe rainbow flags and the sunset lesbian flag can be for you even if you're ace and/or #sex repulsed. The flags aren't like... criteria for an identity. Not to bring up something horrible like the US empire but you don't have #to have lived in one of the thirteen colonies for those red and white stripes to still represent you.#I hate that the TERFs use the colors of the suffragette flag in heart emojis 💜🤍💚 and that those colors are so similar to the genderqueer #flag (a coincidence on the part of the creator of the genderqueer flag).

Saw a 20 Something Man Call a Few Object Shows Pretentious Which is the Funniest Insult Someone Can Give to a Work in the "Battle for Bingo Bango" Genre

#Dude Had a Pretty Solid Platform in the Community Too #An Object Show Can Be Pretentious Cuz an Object Show Can Be Anything But None Have Been So Far #Even the More Serious Works are Pretty Accessible and Tend to Have a Present Comedic Aspect #Like Pretentious Means Something It Doesnt Just Mean Boring and Serious #One and ii2 and TNM Arent Pretending Like Theyre More Important Than They Are They All Feel Pretty Aware of What Theyre or Are Trying to Be #No Object Show is Pretentious Cuz Im Making the First Pretentious Object Show #This is a Promise #Objective Criticism #Also The Dude Was Ranking Modern Comedy Shoes That are Good Like C Tier So Im Afraid Hes Fallen Into the Trap #Of Thinking Nostalgia is Equivalent to Quality #dreamy.txt #SORRY FOR THE RAMBLE Accusations of Pretention Annoy Me #Cuz Its Very Rarely Used Correctly and Most Accusations Feel Like Theyre Negatively Assuming Intention to Justify Their Own Opinions #You Can Just Not Like Something Man

tbh all things considered im at least glad that my discomfort with totk is what really drove me to really discover a lot of the discussion and analysis into the racism and orientalist stuff and... all of that in the zelda series, since i was halfway aware of it in the past but only more recently started to really look into it further and see what others have to say about it

#salty talks #loz #legend of zelda #just been thinkin abt this after seeing a few more posts abt the way the gerudo and ganondorf are typically treated #like... im not exactly new to learning about the nastier parts of something i like and moving to enjoying it while being critical of it #i mean at this point being a warrior cats fan is the same as being a warrior cats hater #but since warrior cats' issues is more about the misogyny and ableism that was has always been a bit easier for me to pick up on n stuff #while the racism and like in loz is a bit harder (as a white fan of the series) so im just. glad? that theres a lot out there about these #aspects and im trying to better understand the issues with all of this and why its all bad and stuff #like esp with movie worries and my own writing of the ganonbeck fic wherein ive tweaked some gerudo stuff #like. idk if it was a good move to tweak it so that gerudo males are just very rare rather than 1 per century #like rn i plan on them running into another male gerudo in chapter 2 among some other gerudo to make good on that #and like idk if thats a good tweak to the lore or anything while sticking to most of the shit canon has to offer #idk im just glad that im now more actively learning about this stuff and all of that even if ive maybe been a bit tactless in some tag rant #idk what the point of this is ig im just having a little reflection moment abt whats changed in my knowledge of the series' meta elements #since totk crash landed in my general vicinity
