season 2 episode 12 is sad for a lot of reasons obviously but the thing i can't get over is how everyone is so happy. they're celebrating, eating cake, having a nice time and lu guang is sat there thinking about the time his soulmate* died in his arms, the time he looked at his hands and saw the blood of his soulmate. *(friend feels too weak of a word in this scenario - you wouldn't go back on your promise, your morals, your rules to go back to the beginning to save the life of just a friend when you know that death is unavoidable and a Big No in trying to prevent)
and the lighting !!! the welcome home banner !!! everything about that scene screams happiness and joy and relief that they recovered from their injuries which is just so ironic since lu guang, my little meow meow, is thinking about the fatal wound that cheng xiaoshi got in the original timeline.
imagine seeing your found family happy that you lived but you are thinking of the Horrors where they die 😭 no wonder the "lu guang needs a hug" tag is so popular on ao3
#they make me so ill#gays that are doomed by the narrative from the start pack a bunch#ik my observations are really surface level but i just can't get over it#everyone is so happy but lg is thinking about all the things he's done 😭😭#starrywangxian#link click#shiguang daili ren#时光代理人#you queue fine things well#btw i'm a stem student - media analysis is not my forté

samatoki’s probably a valentines baby but his parents had a doomed relationship and ramuda’s bday is valentines and in pink coloured love he says he’s been given everyone’s love, and ramuda’s speaker has a spherical designs and so does samatoki’s but he’s ‘destroying’ his and them being the 2nd drb’s prime time battle is exactly what makes hypmic so much fun lmao
#this is vee speaking#taking the pink coloured love lyrics a step further and he also says he’s unfulfilled by that surface level love#so they’re both getting burned by love it’s very good stuff lmao when hypmic’s show don’t tell approach hits it hits lol#the ramudas across various medias outside canon who rage at unfairness of his life#and samatoki wanting to destroy everything in his path after his sister was unfairly taken from him#heck!!!! canon ramuda bitterly resigned to chuuoku treating him like a puppet but doing whatever they want because it’s all he has#and samatoki bitterly making his catchphrase ‘life is not fair’ after his own crappy circumstances#they’re so compelling lmao it makes me so sad kr placed so much focus on the samatoki/ichiro and jakurai/ramuda pairs 😭😭😭#c: samatoki-sama#c: ramuda

okay, usually we try not to rain on 13's parade too much, especially since we follow some people who really appreciate her era! but we feel like this post did a bit of poor pissing.
for the moment, i'll take note that, yes, the doctor is literally referring to the automated system. but to point this out to say the episode was never pro-company/amazon/capitalism is just... wrong. this episode is still incredibly confused on its messaging. even aside from the doctor's praise and excitement for the company, the episode is, at best, confused on its capitalism stance.
we spend a decent portion of the episode focusing on how awful the pay and conditions are for the workers- in particular, lee mack's character. he mentions how there is no privacy on the job, because of the "constant random monitoring". he makes so little money that he can only go see his daughter twice a year. he "splurge[s] on an economy shuttle". and he notes that half the galaxy is unemployed, because advances in technology took their jobs.
this is all (seemingly) critiques of capitalism! too few people are getting paid too little money to do automated work with too little privacy! this is where the confusion starts, though. the viewer will notice that the idea of people still needing to work when that work is already automated is bad. the episode, based on what happens by the end, and what op mentioned, does not.
after the dust is settled, the solution is not to push for worker's rights. all of the pay problems and privacy problems are still there. people still have to work in the first place, despite everything being automated. in fact, the solution is to push for more people to be hired. THIS SOLUTION IS NOT ANTI-CAPITALIST. Not even close! This solution is very much capitalist status-quo, and completely ignores all the capitalist critique it brought up earlier!
I can already imagine what people are thinking at this point. "Okay, but you can't expect this one scenario at space Amazon, the biggest retailer in the galaxy this one company to be able to kickstart such a widespread change" and something along the lines of the episode being about incrementalist change. But the episode seemed to suddenly lose interest entirely in even a desire to change anything else. Not to mention this solution is, imo, strictly for the worse!
Like, again. All of these rights violations are still there. No one makes any mention of how these problems are still there, no one makes any mention of what an anti-capitalist episode easily would have in people still needing to work for pennies while automation can already run everything.
With all this on-and-off focus, by the way, on capitalist exploitation, with the doctor being so excited about this big exploitative company (intentional statement or not!)- and with this classic "villain who's in the right but went TOO FAR" (except the writers seemingly didn't realize he wasn't even right), i feel like it's not unreasonable that when we hear the all-too-familiar phrase-
The systems aren't the problem. How people use and exploit the system, that's the problem.
Our brain immediately goes to every single other time the phrase has been used outside of the context of this one scene in this one show. In-universe, it is literally about the automated robots. But as a story, with like. Themes, and metaphors, and all that good stuff, is it really that unreasonable to read this as a statement on capitalism too?
Like, if you can read into the rest of this and give it explanations that mesh with, but are not pulled from, the text- then you can understand folks pulling more than the literal in-universe meaning of the words.
oh my god this is years late but everyones perception of kerblam is literally wrong??? when the doctor said the "system" wasn't wrong, she meant automation? not the company? like the concept of automation isn't inherently wrong (there is a good point for making dangerous and menial tasks automated) and it wasn't trying to hurt people. And when she said the people exploiting the system were wrong she meant people exploiting automation (including charlie, who was using it to kill people so the system would take the fall. the doctor even points out he isnt an acitivst, he's just killing people). the metaphor is a bit fumbly. but it was never pro company/amazon?? the episode ends with a focus on the company being people led. man, i dont think ill ever not get annoyed with the way people bring this episode up to make series 11 look bad.
#doctor who#tl;dr: it's more than just this line#the whole episode has some muddled messaging#this is just the easiest to point at part#btw saw someone else's tag saying 'people are refusing to read into their media on a deeper level'#i am so sorry to say this but besties you had the surface level reading here 😭#can you tell nyx mainly wrote most of this#going to edit and add to this a bit tbh

Big Slay Placements to have in your chart
Jupiter in the 10th house: big boss placement, these people are usually so hardworking and ambitious at whatever job they do & have the ability to climb the financial ladder very quickly. Gives good luck in finding a career & making money. A lot of big business bosses & CEOs have this placement.
Jupiter in Leo: oh you’re the main character, this is such a lucky placement to find in your chart. Grants amazing level of confidence and charisma that can get you very far in life. Usually have good luck in dating as well & can be very good with children. This person will be very generous & big hearted, usually the party starts when they walk in. Very loud & unashamed of themselves. If afflicted however it can be big narcissists & have a hard time saving money. But overall these people are pretty lucky.
Venusian moon/degrees (Taurus + Libra, 2,14,19,26 degrees) gives a very pleasant personality and a charming mannerism. Bestows beauty on the native as well. I’ve never met anyone with these placements/degrees that are unattractive I swear. These people also have an easier time finding their soulmate than most. Can have very satisfying relationships that are usually long term. Their partners are also usually pretty attractive as well. These are truly bad bitches!
Venus in the 5th house: can charm the pants out if anyone. Even if they aren’t that attractive they can get anyone in their bed I swear. Although I notice their relationships can be rather short lived it’s usually not long till they have another admirer waiting to date them. They love to flirt.. and are usually very good at it. They see flirting & seduction as a game & have a lot of fun with it. It usually makes the native very physically attractive & have very beautiful children as well. U ever see those families where all of them just look so perfect?? 9/10 one of the parents got Venus in the 5th house. However they can struggle with addiction easily whether it be sex, gambling, dating ect.. so be careful you can get very overindulgent!
Venus/asc or in 1st house: a classic bad bitch astro placement. These people are just super pretty. They get noticed for their beauty and lot and usually have a lot of admirers. These people are easy to get along with and are agreeable (they hate arguments and confrontation). They can get popular easily on social media for how they look. Have a very ideal feminine body type (usually hourglass figures with a big 🍑). They can be love addicts as well just like Venus in the 5th house people. Tend to be interested in dating and had crushes at a very young age. They also attract pretty partners and friends as well (they do not fuck with ugliness😭). They can come off as pretty vain and superficial but it’s hard to fully hate these people even if they are a lil surface level. Also very blessed career and financial wise most of the time. (Their appearance helps them get jobs they aren’t normally qualified for) super blessed imo.
Venus conjunct Jupiter: idk why but I think of Santa Claus when I see this placement, just super generous & have big love for others. This placement also screams POPULAR. Your social life is always booming and really busy. People are just really drawn to you and you have amazing social skills. U attract all different people from all walks of life. Anything Jupiter touches it expands so when it touches Venus everything associated with Venus is multiplied in your life meaning you can attract nice things easily, attract a lot of wealth, partners, friends ect. They can have a very exotic look or be attracted to others with exotic looks (people from different cultures/ethnicities). They also can be very spiritual and have strong beliefs and a good amount of faith which gives them confidence and optimism. Beware of overindulgence and laziness because they can become pretty lazy if they don’t challenge themselves.
Sun in the first house: they are usually very flashy personalities (even the introverts). Every one I met with this placement had a big star quality about them like you can tell they have the skills to be very well known. They have a great amount of confidence & and lot of people I see with this dress soooo nice & are really good at taking pictures on social media. They love attention which is why a lot of celebrities have this in their chart they attract others to them like a magnet. This magnetism however attracts a lot of jealousy from others, you can have a lot of haters as well as admirers (it’s cuz you’re popping💋). These people can get too lost in the spotlight and become really egotistical & arrogant if they don’t watch themselves which can cause a lot of chaos in their life. But overall these people usually have a big fan base (even if they aren’t famous). Very good placement for the sun.
Neptune in the 1st house: they all look like they came out of a vintage Hollywood magazine. They are so naturally glamorous and glossy looking. They can have features that look very ethereal or out of this world like in a mystical way. When I think of this placement I think of lady Amalthea from the last unicorn. Many models and celebrities have this in their chart. They tend to take perfect selfies as well. These people actually can benefit from plastic surgery (not instigating it at all) but they can make themselves look even more unreal if they get it. (Ex; Kylie Jenner lips). These people can be big trendsetters too and can notice a lot of people try to copy them (it’ll never be the same effect however) they look so naturally cool and glamorous it’s hard not to copy. Most have very creative original styles that people admire so much. These people however can fall into addiction & mental health problems if they don’t take care of themselves… they have very fragile mental states due to their extreme sensitivity so it’s important for them to take care of themselves instead of using escapist tendencies. But overall these people are real life mermaids/fairies🥺
If you guys want a part two I will be willing to make more of these☺️ cuz I have a list of placements I find super cool to have. Lmk in the comments 💋

RIDDLE DREAM SPOILER‼️‼️‼️
Lmao, why is his dream just...
"Quit your job"
"Why?"
"Join my emo band!"
(No but honestly, its a bit cute that, Riddle, in all his seriousness and rules sticking, still seemed to choose a more alt way to dress in his dream, like he still wants to rebel in some way. It was a plot twist in a way since many may have thought that Riddle would have cranked up on his authoritarian ways all the way to eleven, and yet his dream is silly, like all the other house warden's dreams seemed to be more serious in a way and showed off one aspect that we knew off, Leona's low self esteem and Azul wanting to completly overwrite his past, but Riddle wasn't quite that, we knew of his want for rebelion, but his dream wasn't full anarchy, it was just... rebelling in the small ways)
(Sorry for any misspelling, english isn't my native lenguage)
[You can read my thoughts on the book 7 chapter 12 part 3 update here!]
I just saw that meme on Twitter with Riddle and Cater 😭
I was shocked by Riddle’s new look in the dream… It’s close to alt fashion in the west, but I believe it is supposed to be Japanese visual kei. All that black… I don’t know, I don’t think dark eye and lip makeup suits him?? But that’s just me, what do I know about style www

I’m surprised Riddle even knows what that kind of clothing is…? You’d think his mom would not allow him to be exposed to this kind of fashion. I was half expecting Cater to mention he had shared it with Riddle at NRC on a slow day and Riddle expressing a little curiosity about it but ultimately holding himself back from dressing adventurously. That never ended up happening…
I do think that an authoritarian dream has its representation in the second and third layers of Riddle’s mind. The darker implication is certainly there. However, I think it makes the most sense for his surface level dream to be about his childish desires and experiences he never had. As much as Riddle might claim to be mature and to know it all, some part of him desperately misses out on happy childhood memories. He shares this sentiment after recovering from his overblot (“And after a meal, I want to be the one sitting around talking with everyone... And I really wanted to play with you and Chenya more, Trey.”). In events like Endless Halloween Night, Riddle tells his peers that he isn’t familiar with traditional entertainment media like movies or video games; he did crosswords and read textbooks as a child. Various voice lines, like his Suitor Suit, where he wishes his parents’ marriage was happy, or his Beachwear, where he complains about how he is not used to this kind of scandalous clothing, also express this.
I wouldn’t describe Riddle’s dream as an expression of him wanting to rebel or to have anarchy, per se. Wanting more freedom and a longing for a chance to express one’s inner child isn’t necessarily equal to being rebellious. Many of the things he desires are very childish: not wanting to go to school or to study, eating desserts multiple times a week, drinking tea sweet, being able to play all day, always having emotionally available parents, not having to follow rules, having many friends and a happy family… These are not all tied to being rebellious, these are things most children want. It speaks to Riddle wanting to have those childhood experiences he missed out on and having more independence… Being allowed to be his own person rather than a puppet on strings his mother controls and makes all the decisions for.

Sweet and Sour

Summary: Alexia comes home from that game to a sick reader. Comfort and fluff ensues.
(okay theres a bit of angst as well, i couldn't help myself, im sorry 😭)
----------------
Alexia didn’t know whether to cry, to yell, or to hurl a water bottle against the nearest surface. They had lost. Barça had lost. Their first defeat of the season could not have come at a more dangerous time, in the first leg of the Champions League Semi-Final.
It was their first home defeat in five years, as well.
And to add salt to the wound, you weren’t around. You weren’t at the game today. You were at home, incredibly ill to the point where looking at a screen hurt your brain. You weren’t there for Alexia to cling onto, to reassure her that everything would come up blaugrana at the end of the day.
At least, though, you were at home, getting better for the second leg. You’d save them, Alexia told herself, as she applauded the fans for coming and attending. The fans deserved better than whatever the hell that performance was out there.
God, it kept replaying in her head. That miss. That fucking miss.
She could’ve levelled it, put her team on some somewhat stable ground for the away leg at Stamford Bridge. A part of her shattered when that ball went wide, it took majority of her willpower to get right back up afterwards.
The little head-slaps she usually gave Vicky were lighter now, only just. As much as Alexia would love to give Jona a piece of her mind (she’d do that tomorrow at the latest), you were waiting for her at home.
The mere thought nearly brought her to her knees.
Though she knew that you would understand, that you would be the usual radiating beam of positivity that you always were despite feeling like you got hit by a truck, a part of her feared that you’d be disappointed, not just of the team, but of her.
Alexia was brought out of her thoughts as Jona walked into the locker room. The usual post-match speeches were given, but a chunk of Alexia’s brain was just all mush after that game. It was mostly a blur, and she could hardly remember what she had said in her own speech. Thankfully, she didn’t need to do media. The last thing she needed right now, especially in her current headspace, was for some reporters trying to bait her into making a scathing comment.
She wanted to go home to you. And at the same time, she didn’t.
The team bus was mostly silent on the way back to the training ground, a few of the girls conversing in hushed tones, some faint music coming from the back of the bus. Alexia hadn’t texted you yet. You needed the sleep, so you could get better and get back to the team.
Salma’s head was on her shoulder, the girl having fallen asleep a few minutes into the bus ride. Alexia’s heart went out to the girl, and she had encouraged her to keep her head up.
The minutes went by like a blur, and before Alexia knew it, they were back at the training ground. The radio played faintly in her car as she drove back to your shared home, making a quick stop at the pharmacy to pick up your antibiotics, since the pharmacist had called her to let her know that your required dose for tonight was ready.
The first thing Alexia noticed when she got home was the smell of soup. You must’ve made some boxed instant soup or something, her thoughts confirmed when she saw the box and the seasoning packets. There was still some soup left in the pot on the stove. Well, there was dinner sorted.
She set the bag from the pharmacy down on the kitchen counter before heading upstairs to check on you. She quietly entered the bedroom, and saw you curled up in bed, your breathing steady and peaceful. She smiled softly, grateful to see you resting. You could be a little stubborn at times.
Carefully, she approached the bed and sat down beside you, reaching out to gently brush a strand of hair from your face, also gently holding her hand against your forehead to check on your fever. Thankfully, it wasn’t that bad anymore.
“Hey, amor,” she whispered, her voice barely above a murmur. “I’m home.”
You stirred slightly, blinking sleepily as you looked up at her. “Hey, pretty girl,” you murmured, clearing your throat and sitting up a bit so you could lean against the headboard. “How are you? How was the game?”
Alexia hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words. She didn't want to disappoint you with the loss, especially when you were just starting to feel better.
“It was... challenging,” she said finally, hating how small she sounded. “But you know how it is. Win some, lose some.”
Your brow furrowed slightly, concern flickering in your eyes. You knew your girlfriend the same way you knew how to breathe. There was no way she’d ever use the words ‘win some, lose some’ to describe a game, especially a Champions League semi-final, at home no less.
You studied her for a moment, your eyes searching her face. “Lex, what's wrong?” you asked gently, sensing her reluctance to talk about it.
Alexia hesitated, her heart heavy with the weight of her missed chance, chewing a little on the inside of her cheek. “I... I had a chance to level the score,” she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. “But I missed.”
Your heart broke then and there, not because of the loss at all. Your girlfriend, the Alexia Putellas and the two-time Ballon D’or winner looked so… small in front of you. Your expression softened with understanding, and you reached out to take her hand in yours. “Hey, it's okay,” you said soothingly, your voice filled with reassurance. “That’s football, love.”
Alexia noticed you shift closer to her a bit, your thumb stroking the back of her hand gently. You were keeping your distance a bit, not wanting to get your girlfriend sick, even more so now.
“But it was such an important game,” Alexia said, her voice trembling with emotion. “And I let everyone down.”
You shook your head, gently squeezing her hand. “You didn't let anyone down, Lex. You gave it your all out there, and that's all anyone can ask for. We win and lose as a team,” Alexia wasn’t looking at you, but you were looking at her, studying her. You could see her biting her bottom lip to keep herself from crying in front of you. “Mi vida, mírame.”
Alexia nibbled on her lip some more, before shaking her head. Your hand left hers, reaching up to gently hold her chin and encourage her to look at you. “Ale, mi niña bonita. Please look at me.”
She let you turn her face to face yours, and your thumb immediately reaching up to wipe away the tears that were escaping the corners of those gorgeous hazel eyes.
Your heart ached for her. She looked so vulnerable in that moment, and it pained you to see her so torn up over the match. “Alexia, listen to me,” you said, your voice firm but gentle as you wiped away her tears, albeit a little croaky as well. “You are so much more than just one missed chance. You are strong, talented, and resilient. And no matter what happens on the field, I am always going to be proud of you.”
Alexia's breath caught in her throat as she looked into your eyes, seeing nothing but love and admiration reflected back at her. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
“Don't apologise, amor,” you said softly, shaking your head. “You have nothing to be sorry for.”
Alexia shook her head, a shaky sigh escaping her lips. “I just... I hate feeling like I disappointed the team, the fans… and you.”
You reached out, cupping her cheek gently in your hand. “You didn't let anyone down, Ale,” you insisted, completely sure of what you were saying. “You're an incredible player and an amazing captain. And I couldn't be prouder of you–”
You doubled over, turning your head away to cough into your arm, your other hand patting your chest.
“Amor,” Alexia all but jumped to your side, hand rubbing your back despite you trying to keep her at a distance so that she didn’t get sick.
“I’m…” Another stream of coughs escaped you, and Alexia pulled away briefly to pour you a glass of water. “I’m fine, Ale, thank you.”
You accepted the glass, taking a few sips to soothe the irritation you felt in your throat, massaging it gently. “Maybe you should take some medicine,” she suggested, worry evident for your health.
“After this,” you set the glass on the bedside table, grabbing Alexia’s hands again and getting her to sit beside you. “It's okay to feel disappointed, Lex, but don't let one moment define you. You are capable of so much more than you realise, and I know you know that.”
Tears continued to stream down Alexia's cheeks, but there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes as she listened to your words. “I just want to make you proud,” she admitted, her voice slightly above a whisper, sounding more like herself now.
“Oh, bebita,” you murmured, your voice soft just like your smile as you bunched up your sleeve, wiping at Alexia’s cheeks. “You already make me proud every single day.”
Alexia sniffled, a small smile tugging at the corners of her lips. “Even when I miss crucial chances in important games?”
“Even then,” you replied without hesitation, your gaze locked with hers. “Because you give your all out there, and you never give up. You always fight, and fight to make up for it.”
“You always know just what to say,” she whispered, a soft sigh escaping her as she looked at you.
“What can I say? I’m just so wise,” you replied, pulling a face, making Alexia chuckle and lightly shove your shoulder. “Hey, no bullying the weak and feeble!”
“You aren’t f-fuh–?” Alexia tried to copy your pronunciation, and with each attempt, your smile grew. “Amor!”
“What?”
“Don’t do that.”
“Do what?”
“Just…” Alexia put her hands on your shoulders. “You’re not weak.”
“I know, mi amor, I know. You aren’t either,” you put one of your hands on top of one of hers, gently caressing her knuckles. “We’re still in it. We’ve been here before, no?” You looked at her knowingly, yet so softly and so full of love.
“Mhm,” she hummed, her smile getting bigger.
“We just need a bit of faith and trust. No matter what happens, win or lose, you’re one of the most amazing people in my life,” you reached out to run your hand through Alexia’s hair, still a bit damp from her post-match shower. “Want me to brush your hair?”
“I want you… to take your medicine,” Alexia said with a smile, and you groaned.
“Is it the tablets?”
Alexia pursed her lips as she stood up, stifling a smile as she held out her hands for you to help yourself up out of bed.
“Amor,” you whined, kicking your feet a little like a child being denied ice cream from a street vendor.
“Come on, my tough and pretty and sexy girl,” Alexia wiggled her fingers. “You can handle a few pills, lovely.”
“I told you that a few months ago, and you banished me to an air mattress on the floor because you didn’t want me catching whatever bug you had,” You held onto her hands, standing up. Alexia’s large hands patted your waist a little before holding you gently. It was an adorable habit of hers. “And then, you proceeded to beg for me to come to bed with you just because you couldn’t stand being apart from me for the night.”
“Come, come,” Alexia had a smile on her face as you went on your little rant, leading you down the stairs to your inevitable fate of having to ingest some pills. You hated the feeling of pills in your throat, even when you took them with water. “Don’t be stubborn.”
“Alexia, don’t be mean to me, I am ill,” you stopped at the bottom step, Alexia looking up at you slightly, tilting her head and smiling at the sight of you pouting.
You grumbled when she wrapped her arms around your waist and picked you up into her arms, begrudgingly wrapping your legs around her waist to hold onto her as she carried you into the kitchen, “Be careful, you played a rough half of football.”
Alexia glanced at you, brow furrowed. You weren’t supposed to be on your phone or any technology for that matter.
“Mapi called,” you smiled innocently, fingers scratching her scalp, the midfielder closing her eyes at the feeling briefly. “It’s been a while since she used short sentences.” Alexia winced. “Too soon, yep, sorry.”
“The doctor said you need to have three tablets–” Alexia braced herself for the mush of words that were about to come out of your mouth.
“Amor!”

Started trying to be more vocal on my side account on twitter (shudders) i bring up how transfemininity oft feels like an afterthought in alot of hs art and i get pqrted like thrice 😭😭😭 id like to have discussions about homestucks transfeminine nature and how much care hussie seemed to inject into the queerness bc its really cool i havent seen media this big be like this!! But twitter is so bad for that. Its like people Dont want its queer rep to go deeper beyond its surface level..?
Somebody always has to go W-what about my personal feelings of discomfort with femininity i love and project onto john sm🥺 any time anyone talks about june egbert. I feel like there might be a constant pattern of highlighting masculine stories over feminine ones totally no real world reason for that ever! all fandom behaviour is totally exempt from criticism bc queer people are doing it so nothing can be critique worthy☝️😇
Scratches my chin. I dunno. Nobodys forcing anyone to make anything just take a little time to empathise with others. Maybe youll get inspired by somebody elses story
#might carry over some of my ramblings to here bc you guys seem to like my yappery too🫶#but aauagh#I was rlly afraid to share my thoughts already but i know theres plenty people who do appreciate it.#i care so much about this piece of media i just wana have genuine discussions about the text bro.. 🥲🥲🥲#daniel talks#homestuck#i surprose

celebri_tea two months after calling it quits with charles leclerc, y/n y/l/n performed her 13th concert in florence and fans are shocked at her performance of cornelia street — a love song that she allegedly wrote for leclerc. clips of her performing the song in a very "angry" and "furious" way have surfaced all over the internet and fans have taken it to themselves to rename it as cornelia street (angry version) or cornelia street (go f*** yourself version).
leclerc and y/l/n called off their engagement barely two months ago and sources close to the pair have come forward with claims that they did not end in good terms.

So I made the mistake of stumbling onto the NOT STEVE ROGERS FRIENDLY tag today and..

You have to be a special type of delusional to be this obsessed with a character you don't like!??
Over 2k fics have the tag and are almost entirely Tony Stark-centered fics. I'm assuming these are the "fans" who totally buy into the MCU canon and don't know any other Captain America lore outside of what Feige and Whedon have done. Or, they're the "fans" who refuse to understand the politics behind Steve's character and how he was inherently undermined throughout the entire ten years of the MCU by the directors and writers for most of the films.
Because the arguments in most of these fics for being "not Steve rogers friendly" are really surface level shit like:
1) "Steve refused to sign the Accords and broke up the Avengers" (he was right & he didn't break them up, an overemotional Tony did when he refused to listen to Bucky's side of the story).
2) Steve fought Tony and almost killed him (yeah, like Tony didn't blast Bucky's arm off and shoot his repulsor rays directly at Steve).
3)Steve is homophobic (y'all are just making up reasons to hate this man atp)
4)Steve is racist (Steve hated racists & you'd know that if you read the comics, or you guys are just that deluded that you're making Steve racist & trying to project it as canon and therefore a "reasonable" explanation as to why you hate him)
5)Blaming Steve for Rhodey's accident (WHICH WAS TEAM TONY'S FAULT!)
6)YALL, THEY MADE STEVE THE BAD GUY IN A BROCK RUMLOW/BUCKY FIC! I stg I cannot make this shit up💀 Steve's bad for wanting Bucky to be Bucky again, but somehow Brock's the good guy for wanting Bucky to be the Soldier...
Steve left Bucky for Peggy (we'll get to this soon)
There's a hundred more irrational reasons for the Steve Rogers hate, but let me get to the WORST part.
THERE ARE BUCKY STANS WHO ARE ANTI-STEVE ROGERS.
And I'm sorry, no. I don't accept that you love Bucky Barnes but hate the one person he loves the most in the world.
They argued in a couple fics that "Bucky also went rogue after Siberia but he didn't want to associate with Steve, Nat & the rest of the team- WHO HELPED RESCUE BUCKY & EVENTUALLY EXONERATE HIM- but rather, he went off on his own & eventually Tony finds him, they hash it out and become friends to lovers."
Helppp???? Wdym Bucky isn't gonna stick with the one man he's been keeping diaries about to try and get back his memories? But he'll go to the one guy that re-traumatized him by blowing out his arm again?
Not only that, but Bucky absolutely hates Steve in some of these fics and the reason will be, "he left Bucky to go back to Peggy." Like, you cannot be a serious fan if you're still going with the Endgame canon. For a majority of us, we recognize Endgame as being nothing but terrible writing and mischaracterizations. Why are yall not analyzing and interpreting media critically? The MCU has never been on Steve's side and have always diminished his character in an attempt to make Tony the ultimate hero of the OG 6. Don't yall know the discourse? It's embarrassing atp.
And this is my stance on the entire thing: there's nothing wrong with writing fics about characters you don't necessarily like or aren't interested in. It's OKAY if you don't like Steve Rogers- but you've gotta be rational about him, instead of hateful. Most, if not all of these "anti-steve" fics are written in bad faith. Bad understanding of the character and pure, shameless mischaracterizations which just makes these types of fics fickle and weak- hilarious to read though cos that Brock one had me deadddd😭💀.

i (foolishly) decided to step out of my little side pocket of the arcane fandom to see what people are saying about mel in regards to jayvik... and bruh. i wasted like... a couple minutes of my life reading a jayvik shipper's long ass take dismissing the misogynoir in the arcane fandom and i just need to rant.
there's nothing wrong with jayvik. there's nothing wrong with YOU if you like jayvik.
but having your head so deep up a ship's ass you don't notice the people around you being anti-black? then pretending like black fans are just making shit up to “spite your ship” or whatever bullshit you believe to make yourself feel better after pointing out the misogynoir that the fandom isn't even trying to hide? it's shit like this that prevents me, and a lot of other black fans from enjoying certain media in general.
and i just wanna say i don't think a lot of people are anti-jayvik because they're "butthurt" or whatever the fuck y'all say. IT'S BECAUSE Y'ALL ARE FUCKING WEIRDDDDDD WHEN IT COMES TO MEL.
ntm a couple days ago i saw a goofy ass Instagram reel saying "y'all couldn't even handle jayvik" nigga WHO? WHO IS Y'ALL? let's be so fr, jayvik is the most popular, well received ship in the whole show. go to the arcane ao3 tag right now and you'll see that shit in the top three up there with timebomb and caitvi (we also need to talk about how common it is for interracial relationships in media and fandoms to only be mainstreamed as long as one of the partners is white... but i digress, i digress.)
we can't handle a fandom doing what it does best; pairing the two men together and shitting on the woman? gtf 😭 this has been happening since the birth of the Internet. Hell, probably even before.
And the real kicker is, you don't HAVE to like Mel. I can understand why some people may not like her, and I'm not gonna sit here and say you have to like her just because she's black. But a lot of people are just regurgitating nasty anti-black talking points to justify their hatred for her instead of ACTUALLY having a valid reason to dislike her character.
mel is a colonizer. i won't deny that in the slightest. but the mass majority of the fandom don't care to dig deeper than the surface level representation she's given. it's always "she manipulated jayce!"/"she called them investments!" nigga go bathe.
i knew as soon as viktor appeared on screen the fandom was finna show they ass over that white man. i just KNEW fujo brain worms would takeover and all logic would go out the window. but trust me. you jayvik niggas aren't oppressed for wanting these men to kiss. y'all aren't even a minority. quit acting like you gotta protect yourself from big bad mel medarda and her stans.
and it's not even ALL jayvik shippers, but it's too damn many. they saw black woman near their fave and immediately decided to lynch her character. i'm saying lynch metaphorically and literally because of that disgusting jayvik serial killer au floating around in mel's tag. i have something to say about that to but i'll make another post. i'm disgusted, not shocked, and disappointed that this behavior is so normalized in fandom spaces.
since arcane season two decided to be more ship driven than narrative driven i feel like a lot of y'all feel... entitled, and people feel like they finally have the opportunity to express their anti-blackness in an environment where they can pull the homophobia and ableism card once you call out the weird shit they're doing.
tl;dr i don't wanna hear a jayvik shipper, nay, a NONBLACK person speak on fandom misogynoir ever again because y'all are just loud and wrong every damn time, and stop acting like black fans are fucking stupid for addressing it.
#arcane critical#mel medarda#this was longer than intended#tumblr on mobile crashed and just... uploaded this from my drafts unfinished#arcane

ok well whats the BEST ship in your opinion??
yall know i have to mention kubosai. my personal favorite, no in-canon romantic chemistry but like their dynamic would be SO interesting. heres a long-ish post of me talking about it lol.
OBJECTIVELY the best ship is terusai, hands down. im 100% sure that theyre intentionally implied to be reciprocated, people can dislike the ship but they only deny this out of misunderstanding in my opinion LOL some people do it because they dont think about saiki beyond surface level and realize he is a tsundere (despite him literally admitting it directly???), others do it because they dont think about TERUHASHI beyond surface level and dont realize the entire fucking point of her character is that she doesnt like having her fake persona and wants to break free from it the same exact way saiki wants to break free of the restraints of his insecurities and forcing himself to blend in!!! haters just dont get it fr 💔 theyre so misunderstood and so few people in this fandom have the reading comprehension skills to understand them even though its not that far beyond the surface 😭 "all she does is try to fit the beauty standards" AND THATS A BAD THING AND IS TREATED AS A BAD THING IN-UNIVERSE AND ALL HER DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT HER BEGINNING TO OVERCOME THAT?? dont pmo 😭 the lack of media literacy in some of you is actually fucking insane. people deny teruhashis development because they dont WANT her to grow!! heres one, two posts i think are relevant here lol
honorable mentions: yumekai, nensai, mikoteru 😚👍

it’s so fun to read your writing 😭 do you think you could do something for eagle flies with a short (like 5’0 short) partner? i love height differences they’re so cute to me bro
HC For Eagle Flies With A Short S/O
Ty for enjoying my writing !
Warnings: none
Eagle Flies is a pretty tall guy, so having a short partner would probably be a slight ego boost
Before the two of you dated, he probably flirted by making fun of your height ALL THE TIME, and it was super obvious to Paytah and his dad what he was trying to do
Got called out for it by Paytah and got SUPER defensive
"I'm only poking fun at them? That's all I'm trying to do; it's not that deep."
It was that deep
Walks into you jokingly and says, "didn't see you there" with a slight smirk
Does that thing where he'll grab things you can't reach before politely handing them to you
Tried to be funny once and tried to tease you by dangling it over your head but you just stared back at him
Curled in on himself out of sheer embarrassment when he was finally alone and just cringed at himself for a while
Once the two of you did start dating the jokes would not end
He sort of intimidated anyone from approaching you; imagine just having a tall brooding guy standing behind you sassily mean mugging everyone
LOVES seeing you in his clothes or hoodies, just absolutely dies at the way they're so baggy on you and thinks its the cutest shit ever
And he loves how people are able to tell its your boyfriend's clothes because no way you'd get something that big for yourself
Whenever you hug he holds your face against his chest
Thinks leaning down to kiss you is hilarious
Sometimes he just makes you go on your tip toes to do it
I can imagine him picking you up by your arm pits and holding you against the wall level with his own head
Likes it when you lean on his shoulder but prefers being held and leaning on you
If he sees you boosting yourself up on a surface he'll run to your side and retrieve whatever it is you need for you
Always has an arm wrapped around your shoulders or waist because hand holding can get a little awkward
Every picture the two of you take together consists of him leaning down slightly and you leaning up
And he loves picking you up effortlessly and spinning you around
Sometime he'll go a little far and just toss you around tbh
It doesn't have too much to do with height but I can see him as the type of boyfriend who never posts on social media but when he does, its only you. And the post is followed by a caption saying something absolutely out of pocket and raunchy that leaves you gawking.

How can you be anti ai and be using and supporting ai art😭 (your profile pics and using ai art in the past). btw this isn’t accusing you of using ai in your writing at all, but the disconnect there is crazy.
It’s like you don’t support ai use with writing at all and are actively against it, but how is ai art any different when it’s literally just stealing from artists? Is it because you don’t draw and are only on the writing side of the fandom?
I’m just so curious. I wouldn’t even have known about you if the whole ai accusation hadn’t happened, but I see this and I’m confused.
Oh great, this shit again. It’s no surprise this was sent anonymously given the accusatory and condescending tone. I’ve addressed the topic of AI twice already, which you clearly know, so I’m not pulling any punches this time with my response. If you’re going to send me anonymous messages just trying to talk shit, then at least be honest about it instead of pretending to be “curious.” Because you’re not. You’re not here for a discussion. You just wanted to grandstand your “superior morality”. Also, let’s be honest, you can claim all you want that this isn’t about my writing, but I don’t believe that for a second.
In any case, I’ll address your points, but I doubt you’ll actually stick around to read until the end. You’ve already formed your opinion based on whatever surface level take is circulating on social media instead of actually looking into the nuances of AI yourself, but I digress.
First, I never said I was “anti-AI.” If you actually read my responses about this, you’d know that I work in tech and I have a master’s degree in computer science and AI. That is to say, I understand how AI works beyond the surface-level talking points people like to throw around online. Moreover, AI ethics are far more nuanced than the oversimplified “AI bad” rhetoric that’s popular on Tumblr and social media. With that in mind, I'd hope we can at least agree that the conversation around AI in creative spaces needs real discussions about regulations, consent, and ethical implementation—not these knee-jerk reactions and moral grandstanding while hiding behind anonymity.
Now let me make this very clear: I don’t mention my background in tech to be condescending or patronizing. Not everyone is going to be educated in AI, and that’s completely understandable. This is an increasingly complex issue, and I fully believe that there should be accessible resources to help people understand it. These conversations should be happening with nuance and informed discussion. However, what I will not do is sit here and be spoken down to or treated like a “gotcha” moment just because I used AI-generated art for my fucking profile picture. The reality is that this discussion is not black and white, and acting like I’ve somehow contradicted myself just proves a lack of understanding of the actual issue.
Second, I'd wager that you are well aware that there is a significant difference between AI-generated visual art and AI-generated writing and its use in fandom spaces. AI-generated art is often easy to recognize, and the Hogwarts Legacy fandom uses AI tools all the time—from AI voice clones to AI-upscaled game assets to AI-generated character art, and yet somehow, I’m the one getting this consistent backlash over my profile picture? That’s laughable. Surely you see the absurdity in this? I’m literally here to write and enjoy the fandom, but people like you insist on treating my blog as some kind of moral battlefield instead of a space for creativity and fun.
Now, you can argue that AI generated art “lacks soul” or isn’t “real art,” and I agree that human art is fundamentally different. The feeling, emotion, and “soul” behind human-created art is a tangible, real thing, and it's one that comes from an artist’s personal experiences, their unique interpretation of the world, and the intentionality behind every brushstroke, line, or composition choice. AI cannot replicate that because AI does not experience life, emotion, or creativity in any human sense. It does not have intent. It does not make choices based on vision or feeling. It generates based on statistical probabilities and pattern recognition, which is a completely different process than human creativity..
However, using the word “stealing” to describe what AI does is a fundamental misunderstanding of how these models actually function. AI is not copy-pasting existing works or frankenstein-ing pieces of art together. It is generating new images based on patterns it has learned (which you'd know if you looked into this yourself at all but here let me help). AI art is also incredibly easy to spot because it still struggles with fundamentals like proper anatomy, correct proportions, and coherent hand structures (seriously, six fingered hands should be proof enough that it’s not just cutting and pasting from real artists). As a result, AI art is incredibly easy to spot, which is why fandom spaces often accept AI-generated character art with little issue.
Now, does that mean I think AI models are free of ethical concerns? No, absolutely not, which again if you actually read what I said before, you would know this. The way data is scraped and used to train these models is absolutely a discussion that needs to be had, and I am in full agreement that there should be regulations ensuring that artists have control over how their work is included in datasets. But saying that AI art is inherently “stealing” is not just inaccurate, but it oversimplifies a far more complex issue. If you actually care about AI ethics, the focus should be on advocating for transparency, consent-based data collection, and responsible implementation, not just throwing around accusations to individual people on the fucking internet without understanding how the technology actually works.
You could argue that by using generative AI services, I’m supporting companies that have scraped art without consent. To which I would ask: where do you draw the line? We all engage with and support corporations that have morally questionable practices whether we like it or not. You undoubtedly do the same, but because AI is such a topical issue right now, you’ve decided this is where you take your moral stand, with an anonymous tumblr ask, against me, instead of at the actual corporations responsible for these practices.
And this is exactly why the conversation should be about regulation, transparency, and putting pressure on companies to make meaningful changes, instead of villainizing individuals. The problem isnt a person using AI tools, it’s the unchecked data scraping, the lack of consent, and the absence of proper standards to ensure ethical use. Attacking individuals instead of advocating for structural change doesn’t actually solve anything.
I came into the fandom because it was supposed to be fun. But bullshit like this? This kind of bad-faith, accusatory nonsense? It really does make me reconsider the value of staying in fandom spaces if this is what engagement looks like with the constant policing, manufactured outrage, and people looking for reasons to be mad instead of just enjoying FREE content..
If sharing my writing is just going to attract this kind of toxic, joyless purity-test bullshit, then maybe it’s not worth the effort. Hope you feel accomplished!!! Thank you for inspiring me to turn off anonymous asks <333
