#Lili rants

[lilisouless]

Won’t say name but there is a fandom on twitter romanticizing depression and even suicide.

You know, losing a romantic partner must be a horrible feeling, something that marks you for life. I know the characters are fictional but saying “if he moves on with someone else, it means he didn’t love her” can easily apply to real people that are grieving. Is really selfish and if you think that way i am really sorry for your partner

Edit: it was two fandoms actually

[liliallowed]

You can like ships without hating on other ships. Like ffs the jegulus hate is so mind boggling. What the fuck? God if you don't like it DON'T COMMENT ON IT MAYBE? Why is the hate necessary.

Jegulus is as beautiful as Jily. Both are really good ships. Most good jegulus ships don't hate on Lily. We all love Lily ok?

I am a multishipper; I ship jegulus, jily and when I can't decide which one I like more I go with jegulily. It's just very fucking weird to hate on something that brings people joy.

Go get a life.

Reminder: hating does not make you cool.

It’s hard to explain to your friends wtf the marauders are and how you got into them and then the dreaded question of “where can I read/watch it” comes up and you have to explain that we just made it up and all collectively agreed on hc and all that jazz

Future Raz and Lili archetypes wooooo

(In order from left to right)

Agent R: Raz's agent persona! Very over the top comic book type of guy. A little too courageous, and dives head first into situations. Doesn't understand jokes, tends to take them too literally. If you tell him to jump off a bridge because a higher up told him too, he'll do it without hesitation.

???: Yeah, no one knows who this guy is supposed to represent. He was Raz's first ever archetype, and he never really changed. (Personality wise) biggest head out of everyone, figuratively and literally (need to fit those big ass eyes)

Teacher: Very articulate strategic, and organized, it's Raz's teacher archetype! He showed up once Raz started counseling at Whispering Rock and taking on teaching interns. Definitely the most stressed out archetype of the bunch.

Ring Master: Raz's circus themed archetype! Big and dramatic, very theatrical expressions and personality. Acts as if he's always in front of an audience. He can even twist and stretch his paper without tearing, making him a great acrobat.

Sophisticate: This archetype represents Lili's more... Polite side. The perfect girl/daughter/agent that's very well behaved and professional. Usually the "facade" Lili puts up at business parties or big meetings to be a good example.

Loose Canon: The name pretty much explains it, but this archetype is for Lili's fiery attitude, especially on missions. Good at combat, likes to set things on fire, despite being made of paper, but that won't stop her. Arson...

Hopeless Romantic: Come on. She may not act like it, but we all know deep down Lili is a hopeless romantic, at least to some extent. That's why this archetype shows up. Boy and girl crazy, very sweet, flirty and so stinkin cute. Lili's least favorite Archetype, but she's definitely the favorite to some of Lili's co-workers!

Sometimes I wonder if JKR even realises she wrote Snape as a victim of sexual assault. Because he unambiguously is, and she writes him as traumatised by the incident. So it seems mad to suggest that she might not have thought through the implications of her own writing, but if she did get it, I am baffled by how sympathetic she remains to James. Harry is never really made to confront how vile his actions were, because he looks for comfort from Remus and Sirius rather than telling Hermione who would react in horror and disgust, and he gets to skip over it completely in The Prince’s Tale. JKR clearly considers James a hero, and has confirmed that in interviews. She’s even more sympathetic to Lily, who is portrayed as an absolute paragon of goodness, morality and virtue, despite her being attracted enough to James *after* he publicly commits sexual assault on a less privileged kid to marry him! What a malfunctioning moral compass. JKR also has no sympathy at all for Tom Riddle Sr, who is a victim of rape, and his rapist Merope Gaunt, who is herself strongly implied to be a victim of incestual abuse, is condemned by Dumbledore and the narrative not for what she did to Tom but for not being as courageous as nice, pretty, middle class Lily Evans because Merope committed the crime of…dying in childbirth. The only conclusions I can draw from this is that JKR is the sort of ´feminist’ who doesn’t believe men can be the victims of sexual crimes, and that deep down she thinks being a member of the underclass who can’t drag themselves out of it alone is indicative of moral failure.

This! All of this!

I don't think she puts it together at all. She's incredibly tone deaf about a lot of the abuse she puts these characters through. And with the blasé attitude she has about male victims of SA in the books definitely goes along her brand of toxic radical "feminism". It looks like she just doesn't recognise the severity of what happens to these characters. On top of Severus's attack and Tom Riddle Sr, remember that Ron was roofied with love spell that was intended for Harry, and Moaning Myrtle is incredible predatory towards the boys. Sadly, this attitude carries over from the author to a chunk of the fandom too. I've seen so much dismissiveness of the assaults against the male characters, especially Severus. And it's even more disappointing when I see people who have experienced abuse saying that what Severus endured "didn't count" as abuse. Had someone today on another platform having an absolute meltdown at me, saying that what happened in SWM wasn't sa, and that he wasn't traumatised from his abuse and if his anger was caused by trauma then why wasn't Harry the same. Seriously, you can't tell another person that what they experienced wasn't "bad enough to be abuse", that's a very warped mentality. Survivors are supposed to support each other, not belittle each other's trauma. Also, what book did they read that they think Harry doesn't have issues from the life he endured? He has different issues than Severus, yes, because he had different life experiences and everyone's reactions to trauma are different.

"Merope Riddle chose death in spite of a son who needed her, but do not judge her too harshly, Harry. She was greatly weakened by long suffering and she never had your mother's courage."

WTF is this!!!??? This is just plain victim blaming. "Your mothers' courage"? Lily had supportive, loving parents, was loved by her peers, admired by her teachers, had a very comfortable, secure life. Merope was physically and mentally abused for her whole life. They really criticized the poverty stricken, abuse victim for not being as "strong" as the Mary Sue of the Wizarding World??? Toxic as hell. Personally, as someone who has dealt with self-harm, mental illness and generational trauma in my family, this attitude of "they weren't strong enough" is nauseating and infuriating.

There really is a disturbing trend of extreme poverty equalling a dead-end life with no hope. Which is again an extremally toxic and judgmental attitude and a very dangerous message to put in a book aimed to children. The attitude towards abuse, poverty and indecent assault of men is beyond problematic, not only in the books but in far too many members of the fandom.

I could rant more but this will go on for pages.

why i prefer jegulus to jily

1. this is probably my main reason��� lily isn’t the kind of person to publicly dislike someone for years and then one day just go huh. he’s not as bad as i thought? omg let’s get married! it just seemed kinda forced—like some of jkr’s other heterosexual relationships *cough* remadora and hinny *cough*

2. also (it’s not a canon event but most of the fandom has accepted it as canon) james repeatedly asking lily out doesn’t sit right with me. he’d respect her when she said no and wouldn’t constantly pester her. he’s not that kinda person (in fanon anyways)

2. jeggy’s dynamics? hello? rivals/ enemies to lovers, best friend’s brother, grumpy x sunshine, thinks he’s unlovable vs loves everyone— i could go on and on

3. jegulus’s ANGST. its never fails to rip my soul out, tear it to shreds, set it on fire then put it back into my chest and do it all over again. i’m not saying jily isn’t also heartbreaking— it 100% is. but jegulus is just UGH.

4. also there’s so much comedic potential with jegulus. sirius’s reaction? gets me every time. tie swapping? hell yes. slytherin vs gryffindor quidditch matches but they’re just checking each other out? GIVE IT TO ME

5. platonic jily is one of the best friendships in the fandom imo. they’d be that duo that had like a month-long relationship but are now just friends and get super embarrassed whenever it’s brought up. especially because i hc lily as a lesbian and that’s just the cherry on top

i am by no means hating on jily— all ships are valid. it’s just my opinion so please. no hate

a comprehensive list of problems with lily orchards pokemon video

there is a point to where my criticisms just repeats so they’ll get different down the post

generation 1

-she claims that blue is a friendly rival when the whole point of him is that he’s a dumb kid. he’s a cocky 11 year old who thinks he’s better than you and grows to realize it’s not all about strong pokemon

-complains about length of dungeons such as lavender tower and silph co but for some reason likes rock tunnel??

-complains about other youtubers strategies for gyms that are usually meant for nuzlockes and challenge runs when she’s playing casual

-acts like she is so much better than everyone else for her strategy when it’s been done to a more extreme degree before

-acts like having butterfree on her team is some feat of strength

generation 2

-thinks silver is the worse character ever and all around a jerk

-complains about the ai of the game beating her when in reality her team just kinda. sucks

-complains about having bad pokemon and then doesn’t catch the good ones that the game literally hands to you

-straight up does not do kanto. has me thinking she just didn’t wanna fight red

generation 3

-this is the start of her being very weird about gardevoir. she calls ralts her child and then throughout the video has art of her being romantic with it which is. eugh. apparently she has incest accusations so i’m not that suprised

-calling magma and aqua the best teams of the series because “they don’t impede on the story”

-complains about the legendaries

-complains about the water routes and proceeds to throw out ideas that don’t make sense for an ocean

generation 4

-this is the start of her hacking in ralts as her starter. it’s very funny because it’s legitimately obtainable in every game she plays besides gen 5

-complains about parts of the game being too hard when she’s using ralts. which dies if it gets touched by a slight breeze

-whines about there being too much dialogue and then genuinely does not understand the story. common theme around all the story driven pokemon games

-she’s VERY annoying about the rivals. like they’re there for a reason

-the start of her acting like her calm mind strategy is the best thing ever. calls other youtubers stupid once again for their cynthia strategies. she can’t choose between gardevoir being the most broken pokemon and blaming ralts sucking on the game(the whole video is a big contrarian fest)

gen 5

oh boy. there’s a lot

-complains about there being too much story in the game and calls the game a peta reply. which is funny because peta is an american company and pokemon is japanese. (also the peta criticism of pokemon didn’t come around until AFTER black and white)

-compares a character who is a victim of abuse and has been indoctrinated by what is basically a cult to a podcast alpha male incel. looking at the allegations against her this also makes sense as to why she doesn’t like him

-whines more about there being too much reading. at this point i started believing she was straight up illiterate

-whines about the amount of rival fights and how it’s “impeding exploration” i don’t think she wants to play an actual video game she just want a pet sim

-misunderstands the whole moral of the game, being that not everything is black and white

generation 6

-complains about not being able to get gardevoirs megastone before the post game, so obviously she hacks it in.

-goes on a tangent about shiny pokemon and how their community is stupid, misunderstanding that people just do it FOR FUN

-also complains about something she calls “damage inflation” with the opponents being able to 1 shot ralts. this is all actually because ralts has god awful defenses, which she ignores.

-loses to what is one of the easiest gyms in the entire series. not really anything wrong with this i just honestly think she sucks at the game(skill issue)

-says x and y are the best games because there’s not much dialogue

gen 7

-once again spends the whole hour complaining about the amount of talking and then doesn’t analyze what the characters are actually saying. still believe she can’t read

-compares gladion to a hitler youth which is??? he’s hawaiian and light skinned but he’s still just an abused kid trying to find his way in lofe(doubt she actually read his dialogue)

-complains about team skill being “an unfunny joke” when the whole point of the team is that guzma was an abused kid who took in those in need and just formed a group of thugs

-still complains about “damage inflation” instead of actually changing her strategy or stepping out of her comfort zone pokemon wise because ralts sucks against the water trial

-goes on a tangent about how lillie should have been the main character while still choosing to mash through her dialogue

generation 8

-whines about dexit and calls dynamax the worst mechanic when it is in fact loved by vgc players

-calls milo a twunk (she doesn’t know what that means)

-a lot of the same problems of the previous gens, can’t read and doesn’t understand the story

-she’s also weird about gardevoir in this one. i think she just REALLY wants to fuck it

generation 9

-whines about dialogue some more

-literally all of the complaints at this point are the same. she can’t form an actual opinion of it bc she can’t FUCKING PAY ATTENTION TO WHAG THEYRE SAYING

overall

-she’s a racist creep to japanese folk outside of the video so hmmm

-has apparently assaulted someone so i see why she has no sympathy for the characters that are victims of abuse

-the weirdest about the pokemon and the characters. compares them to nazis a bunch

-is unfunny

anyway thanks for reading all the way through. the vid made me loose 200 brain cells and i will never stop hating

Since The Batman(2022) I thought that no one could out grease Robert Patterson’s Bruce Wayne…

AND THEN I SAW RENFIELD!

My guy Renfield is the soggiest piece of toast I have EVER seen

Look at his fucking sweater!!! I can’t 😫

He is living in my head rent free

Also look at this fuckin scene

So creepy, such a story to be said, just mwah🤌

The story of the movie was also amazing so if you like lots of blood, vampires, and greasy little guys then watch this movie

[liliallowed]

okay is it just me or does

"I'm gonna win"

fit dusttale...

being so obsessed with a GAME and winning that you lose sight of what that same game even was to you once. how you played it for fun but now it's an obligation.

an obsession.

and you're going to win.

it works for both sans and player really.

"how do you feel? you've been concealed your worries from the world and you can't reveal them to me"

becoming so distant and you cave yourself in a bubble of self loathing...

why do some songs just...

like fit this au like... perfectly? I swear-

No more 1 dimensional Slytherins anymore PLEASE

Idc if its oc’s or head canon but please make them unique

Dont get me wrong i love the way some Slytherins are portrayed in a more traditional matter on how they act as it adds to their character like my bbg Severus and Tom Riddle, but ONLY because it works and make sense for their characters

But im also tired or the same old cruel, selfish, and cold way most people believe Slytherins to be based on how she who must not be named wrote most of them but God Damm acting like this isn’t what makes up Slytherin house.

Cunningness, Pride, Resourcefulness, and Ambition are all traits of Slytherin. People can have all of these traits and not be bad or cruel or cold or mean and bratty & whatever else people describe them as.

I want to see a goofy Slytherin who’s pranks and mischievous nature we have similarly seen in the Weasley twins or the marauders (no matter how much i dislike them but I digress),

Or a quite Slytherin who manages to always find a way to get them and their friends out of trouble,

Or literally anything else than Slytherin = pure blood supremacy = Cold and Snarky = Bad

And this doesn’t just apply to Slytherin, I want multiple demential characters from ALL the houses. I don’t like how many people view Hufflepuffs as shy or gentle solely because of their house, and ravenclaw as studious nerds who does nothing but devote themselves to their study, and Gryffindors as brave and kind soles who fight for whats right.

Because this is unrealistic, people will never fit into a perfect little box based on some traits that describe them when they were eleven. People will always be different and unique and thats what makes life beautiful. And brave doesnt mean good and loyal doesnt mean a pushover and intelligence doesn’t mean schoolacholics and most of all

Cunning doesn’t mean bad.

[orchideous-nox]

You guys push lily aside to have your mlm ship that doesn’t even have them interacting even ONCE in the books or movies and for what?

Oh, so you only like canon ships? So you only ship jily and xenodora and fralice, right? .........right? You must looooove remadora too because you're so concerned about canon ships. And you're also this passionate about lucissa and belladolphus, because they're also canon and happen in the books.

And you send this to wolfstar shippers and nobleflower shippers and pandalily shippers and quillkiller shippers, right? I'm sure you do. I'm sure this is out of real concern for the source material.

I'm sorry that my gay agenda and lack of respect for canon which was created by a transphobic terf piece of shit is getting in the way of you mysoginistically reducing women to being incubators "because that's what the books say".

"No, Katie, I didn't say that I want Lily to only be a wife and mother." Okay, cool. Tell me about Lily CANONICALLY without mentioning James or Harry or Snape. In fact, tell me about Lily without mentioning men using quotes and page numbers from the books. I'll wait.
