"don't buy hogwarts legacy because it funds transphobia" and "don't buy hogwarts legacy because it's basically an antisemitism rpg" are both incredibly valid arguments but it also just looks like a bad game
#in all honestly even if jkr was the biggest trans ally in the world and there was absolutely nothing antisemitic about the goblins at all#i still wouldn't want to play that game#I'd maybe watch 10 minutes of a youtuber play it just to see#but only if it was someone i already followed and i don't follow any gaming creators#maybe it's because i've never been a gamer or cared about any game other than princess peach on the nintendo ds#but it just looks like something i'd never be interested in even if it had come out when i was 14#pre terf tweets and pre me having the critical thinking skills to see any problematic concepts in that world#like i see people arguing about it and i just...#THIS is the hill you're willing to die on???#THIS is the thing that makes you turn your back on your trans friends???#i don't know anyone personally who's going to play it (thank god) but all the discourse online is just confusing#this isn't me morally posturing i'm just genuinely confused#if i was morally posturing id be talking about how amazing it looks but aren't i so good for resisting#like there is simply nothing to resist#same with that last fantastic beasts film#like i don't think i missed out on a good time by not going to see that#it's simply more convenient to the enjoyment of my life to have nothing to do with that shit

I love how people are only ever interested in defending Arya's right to be weird-looking. It's never defending her intelligence from people who claim she's incapable of thinking for herself, highlighting her importance to the plot and refusing to see her as just a prop, acknowledging how much of her story gets stolen and given to other characters, talking about her trauma or how often it gets erased and overlooked, seeing her as more than just an attack dog/bodyguard, etc. Nope. It's just a "why can't people let Arya be ugly/unconventional looking? :(" post every other week because people are, for whatever reason, obsessed with how Arya is visually perceived. One of the most misinterpreted characters yet the issue is only ever with her being portrayed as "too pretty" or the wrong "type" of pretty. This fandom will entirely rewrite a character's motivations, values, and role in the story to the point that they consider references to canon "hate" but! The true injustice to canon is we acknowledge that she is described as pretty several times. Arya simply existing as her pretty, important, and non-conforming self is too complex and confusing for people to comprehend 😔.
#arya stark#asoiaf#fandom nonsense#how can Arya be considered pretty?! she's literally non-conforming?? being pretty belongs to /feminine/ female characters...right? 😱#I feel like these people tell on themselves with how much they value beauty because they make it /such/ a big deal#when her self-esteem issues regarding being a lady are infinitely more relevant to her story (and more interesting to discuss)#her being mocked for having the Stark look is a supporting story element that also reinforces her being an outcast considering#her mother + all of her trueborn siblings have a southern look and she was raised with southern standards#not to mention her non-conformity and often messy appearance heavily impacted how her looks were perceived#George writes Arya's non-conformity as parallel to traditional femininity so it makes sense that beauty is one of those aspects he subverts#(also why it makes sense that her future includes accepting her identity as a Lady while redefining the role but that's off topic)#this is why you need to look at the writing instead of judging based on the /type/ of character you think Arya is#and! it's truly not that serious 😭 I'm sure it will be a plot point eventually but it's not 98% of her story like these people pretend#Arya is such an interesting + well-written character but we constantly get people rewriting her and nonsense discourse around her looks#such rich material and all you can say is that she's an /odd-looking feral gremlin/ and I'm supposed to take your opinion seriously#at this point the obsession with Arya being /weird/ looking has to be some projection of personal self-esteem issues#there's no way /this/ is the hill you're willing to die on with all the terrible takes about Arya from this fandom#wish people who didn't care about her would just stop bringing her up so we could have our discussions about her in peace

seeing a lot of "they made Peepaw McChildMurderer unfuckable now (as Matthew Lilliard)" and to that I have two separate, but distinct reactions:
1: cowards
2: HE'S UNFUCKABLE N O W????? AS IN, HE WAS, AT ONE POINT, CONSIDERED TO BE FUCKABLE????
#five nights at freddy's#fnaf#fnaf movie#listen im willing to discuss the semantics of Springtrap vs William Afton#like if you @ me and say youd smash Spring/Scrap/Burntrap#well i think you're wrong but i admire your courage#but those entities are not William Afton. they are his spirit poasessing a robot bunny#William Afton himself? NOT smashable pre-Matthew Lilliard#all we see of him in the games is a British accent courtesy of PJ Heyward and if THAT is all it takes#then again: i think youre wrong but get it ig#Silver Eyes William Afton is a rabid soaking rat that i could crush under my heel#this is my hot take and my hill to die on

Thinking how Kalim was probably a very lonely child growing up. He was constantly surrounded by people sure, but most of them were probably strangers or family he wasn't sure if they wanted him dead. I doubt he had any other friends besides Jamil, and even then we all know Jamil wasn't a willing friend. It was his "job", he wasn't being Kalim's friend because he wanted to, or because he genuinely liked him, but because his parents forced him into the relationship. And Kalim was willing to overlook all of this because he was lonely. Because he had no one else to connect to in his seemingly vast, but extremely small world. Because all he had was a life that could have ended at any moment. Kalim was selfish. He is selfish. But he has to be in order to survive under the crushing weight of knowing that even your own family wants you dead, you best friend for years wanted to kill you, and in reality has has no close allies besides his parents. And even then, they can be lost at the drop of a hat too. Kalim will never not be rich, and he will never have to know the fear of loosing anything but his own life. And I think that actually terrifying. That even though he's rich and the son of one of the most influential men in twisted wonderland, he's still just a boy who has a bounty on his head. He's replaceable. He has a whole host of siblings that could take his place, cousins and other family members too. And that he had no one to turn to but Jamil and he hates Kalim. Because he's forced into a life of servitude because of him. The first time Kalim probably had any real friends was when he was allowed to attend Night Raven College. I can only imagine how invigorating it was for him to be able to meet people and befriend people that weren't part of his family's circle of relatives and friends. How exciting it must have been to be able to make friends with people his own age? To do things like class and club activities with students and teachers that weren't hired by his family? People who weren't payed to be his friend even though they secretly hated him? And that people were free to feel how ever they wanted about him? I can only imagine how much a breath of fresh air NCR was for Kalim. And how eye opening that was too.
#kalim al asim#twst kalim#twisted wonderland#disney twisted wonderland#twst#kosta thots#I honestly to god think Kalim is a very lonely character and i will die on this hill#you're gonna tell ME that Kalim wasn't lonely?? in that big house??? with no friends??? just family that want to kill him???#kalim needed some real friends and I'm so glad he got them when he went to nrc#and I'm so glad he's willing to work on his relationship with Jamil too#they're such deep and complex characters...

Was gonna point out that as much as I love the Thorin and Bilbo raising Frodo together trope, it doesn't make any sense because canonically Bilbo only adopted Frodo when he was already in his tweens, but then I remembered that canonically Thorin is dead and Bagginshield do not live the domestic cottagecore husband life in the Shire at all
#ouch#except they do though#battle of the five armies? never heard of it#nope#domestic cottagecore bagginshield is canon and i am willing to die on that hill#i will bite you like a rat if you try to convince me otherwise#which you won't cause you're gay and depressed too#bagginshield#the hobbit#bilbo baggins#thorin oakenshield#thilbo#tolkien#middle earth#lotr#lord of the rings#frodo baggins#the shire#ao3 can fix this#that was a chastening realisation really

I just saw someone defend Pink Diamond as a "complex female character bitches couldn't even handle" on an Instagram reel, and I have never blocked an account so fast in my whole life.
#magical girl#are we REALLY having this discussion in 2024?#are you REALLY going to defend a fascist nepobaby who has caused nothing but grief and pain to everyone in the narrative?#is this the hill you're willing to die on?#be honest with me.

self care is blocking everyone in a tag who, in a setting with far worse in the water, wants to argue which teenage girl is just the worst if you just... forget this world has active war criminals actually --
#like idc fight among yourselves defend whatever hill you're willing to die on i'm just EXHAUSTED by it --#any time i see an anti[x] tag in this fandom i just block the personal associated.#out of stories#it's somehow even in tags for other works the author published it's at the point i'm going 0 tolerance how terminally online can you be --

I just watched ToddyBoya's video about not touching wild animals and I'm like. This guy fucking gets it. He's spot on and I'm glad there are people actually calling out the stupid and dangerous behavior of treating wild animals like little uwu buddies. I love animals so much, and admire wild animals immensely. But people who think they're "built different" and are insistent on interacting with wild ass animals, acting on a mindset of "I can change him!" have main character syndrome. I hope they're humbled, when that wild ass animal puts them in their place. Because that is just stupid, ignorant behavior. It's so dangerous to the equilibrium of the environment. It's dangerous to the animal; not only are you normalizing touching it, possibly encouraging others to seek them out and pester them, but also who fucking knows what nasty oils and substances are coated in your fingers? Or on their fur/scales/feathers/etc? Animals have diseases!! Come on now!!! Bro it's even dangerous to get too comfortable with DOMESTIC animals!! You need to read their body language. Horses have been domesticated for years, but a dumbass will sneak up behind them and get a solid metal kick to the jaw. Sometimes horses hurt you when things aren't even your fault! Dogs and cats bite and claw when feeling cornered, ie people getting into their faces, and ignoring the warning signs. Birds peck you. Cattle kick you. We need to be more afraid of animals, in a respecting way. No, let me reword that; we need to be much more educated on wild animals, their place in nature, how that equates to our place in nature, and why we should absolutely not fuck with them.
#I just... god I have thoughts on this#I'm so damn willing to die on this hill#if you touch wild animals on tiktok or any other platform#I think you're a dumbass. Full stop.

Every time the topic of Vegetta and marriage comes up I am forced to see misinformation or even flat out lies about Vegetta's past wedding experience and his relationship with Rubius and I just
#i talk#qsmp talk#IM TIREDDDDDDDDDDDD#For the love of god can you talk about this subject without doing the worst character analysis I've ever seen#Was his past wedding experience bad? yes#Does that somehow mean Rubius was abusive and they hate each other? NO#People don't need to villainize Rubius just to justify their ship dear GOD#I really don't care about fandom opinions usually but this one drives me up the frickin wall#Listen man I love Rubius and Vegetta to death and seeing people purposefully misinterpret them#and their past relationship for the sake of a ship#is just so exhausting#I don't care about people talking about the potential for marriage or how disastrous the last ones were#it's SOLELY when the interpretations are based on second or third hand information#or the intentionally is intentionally made in bad-faith#that I get :///#A few Spanish mutuals on Twitter wrote some very long threads with helpful information detailing events from past weddings#because they were also tired of people not knowing the details#and they got SO much hate for it from people who were specifically spreading the bad information to new fans#Like. why is a block game ship a hill you're willing to die on#It's so silly when you take a step back and think about it but also I'm so tired

Also, some people arguing that Theo shouldn't be acting captain because of one! mistake/wrong decision he made years! ago is, quite frankly, laughable. He even asked for his own demotion, meaning the department didn't even put the blame on him for what happened. On top of that, Theo felt absolutely terrible about what happened and probably still does, and if Travis, of all people, can forgive him, then everyone else can put what happened behind them, too. And let's not forget that, while he's currently emotionally invested in this arson case, he's also shown to be a capable and compassionate firefighter, who will absolutely not accept mistakes being made in the field and that's exactly what this team needs right now
#Station 19#Theo Ruiz#that's one of those hills I'm willing to die on#can't sleep won't sleep#so these are the rants you're gonna get

KNOWING YOUR PARTNER WELL CAN POTENTIALLY MAKE WRITING TOGETHER A LOT EASIER. ( REPOST DO NOT REBLOG ! )
○ NAME: Roxy
○ PRONOUNS: They/She
○ PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION: Discord
○ NAME OF MUSE(S): Fiora Cavazza I play other AC characters
○ EXPERIENCE/HOW LONG (MONTHS/YEARS?): I have lost count lol
○ PLATFORMS YOU’VE USED: I do discord more nowadays, and I lurk on tumblr
○ BEST EXPERIENCE: @ardentfew, @medicus-tenebris, @malfattoildottore, @luponellombra, @shotofmercury-blog, @deadlyhellequin, @queenofroma @brother-ristoro @il-divino / @humansubtlety, @therenaissancelion-blog, @ilufficiale, @capo-di-occhi-cento, @eyesintheshadows, @theofficxr my people that I love and cherish so so much! (in no particular order because I do not have favorites)
○ RP PET PEEVES / DEALBREAKERS: okay I’m going to be honest, I love Fiora because she’s a complex character and Project Legacy is a little bit canon to this blog, but my blog ultimately diverges from Project Legacy canon where Fiora doesn’t betray the templars. She remains with them until the end, my Fiora is loyal to the Order she would *never* betray them. Without Cesare she was nothing. I don’t mind having Project Legacy's ending be an AU among my friends that we have threads in but treating it like my canon no lol. There's other things that bother me regarding how people have treated Fiora over the years and in her character tag that just irk me on a personal level that I'm not going to get into here or anywhere really. 🌚 racism, transphobia, homophobia, biphobi, etc are my deal breakers I get I'm in a historical fandom so it's bound to exist in the world but please tag it. Make it known you do not hold the same views as your character!!
○ FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: idk honestly
○ PLOTS OR MEMES: Memes because I'm chronically not here.
○ LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: depends but I prefer longer threads with friends and long time mutuals and shorter threads with everyone else
○ BEST TIME TO WRITE: When I am not busy!!
○ ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S): Nope!! Fiora isn’t a doormat lmfao.
TAGGED BY: @medicus-tenebris
TAGGING: if you see this and want to do it yeah!
#out of fan blades#I've played Fiora for years#and the hatred I've seen for Fiora in her character tag irks me#I don't want Fiora haters on my blog and then be like 🥺 you changed her for me#like okay fair and valid if you did held those views and no longer do#that's alright I'm not mad at those people but the people who#to my face say that and then turn around behind my back say other things#Fiora Cavazza and Cynthia Velasquez are characters I'm deeply passionate about#yeah they're fictional characters and I shouldn't care that much and you're absolutely correct#but fandom has awful takes sometimes#there are few hills I'm willing to die on and these two are it#also Lucrezia Borgia#but that's a tag rant for another day#I'll format it better later lol

like. i don’t even think it’s better necessarily, but if the only person with actual buy-in on the hunt aside from lottie was van (i don’t really buy tai as having committed here, she’s just going along w van which i think does repeat old patterns), then why not just to subdue lottie from the start? like i GUESS it’s some attempt to suggest groupthink but as soon as lottie starts trying to pursue shauna why would you make it seem like you’re also trying to get her? like i could see at least a couple of them trying to subdue lottie, lottie+van trying to fight them off, chaos/giving into the violence ensues. idk it just does not work for me and the outcome...ehhh
(more in the tags srry but for my non-yj folks cw for mentions of ideation, overdose, addiction)
#ari watches yellowjackets#yellowjackets spoilers#honestly i support ben. i really don't know how he managed to get the fire to spread like that in the winter but like.#go off king.#if the cabin's gone i still don't know how they make it another winter unless they immediately find the underground+clear ben out#problem is that i think that if you're going to do the adult hunt and have it kill one of the original yjs and not a random#then i can see the most likely candidates for death being lottie and nat.#and frankly i hate either option! i don't want to see the person w substance use issues/suicidal ideation whos starting to recover#die from what will seem to all outsiders as an overdose#AND i don't want to see the person who's fulfilled the 'person experiencing psychosis but maybe it's magic' trope/role#who ppl have blamed for their own violence#to start up the violence again and then get killed!#both options suck regardless of how you feel about either lottie or nat as characters.#i think it is hard to write multiple fucked-up storylines at once and make them make sense and make them both compelling.#but i think we've hit the common 'compelling first season second season that doesn't quite match' issue. it's not specific to this.#ALSO. IF IT TURNS OUT THAT CRYSTAL WAS A REAL SURVIVOR ALL ALONG I DO ACTUALLY THINK THAT STORYLINE WAS SOME POOR WRITING.#THAT is the only hill i'm willing to die on.

Have you considered: we simply want to write what we do, it doesn't make us what we write, and at the end of the day its literally just fanfiction that has 0 impact on real life and life outside of a screen?
sugar tits, consider the following:
if what you wanna write is adults fucking minors
and you wanna glamorize it and make it look Fine and Not Super Fucked Up
then stay the fuck away from me.
You aren't what you write, but the fact that's what you wanna write about says something about you. the art you make says something about you. that's just life and the nature of art.
it has impact on real life because a teenager who reads shit like that can get the idea in their head that their teacher flirting with them is totally fine and cool and sexy. bc like. obvi other people don't think it's gross.
"well then they're dumb for taking morals from fanfic"
they're a teenager dipshit their brain isn't done cooking. if nobody's telling them something is seriously wrong, then they aren't gonna get the message.
if they see something romanticized, they're gonna see it as okay. bc they're a teenager who puts themselves in the role of the Oh So Mature and Cool Teenager who's SO cool and mature a whole ass adult wants them
they don't connect the dots their "hot teacher" wants to take advantage of them and will traumatize them.
art impacts reality. art has effects on people and their brains.
if it didn't, advertisements wouldn't work. Vent art wouldn't do anything. If art had 0 effect on reality then there wouldn't be people organizing conventions around their fav media and crying over their fav characters getting killed off in movies. People wouldn't react to art, fiction, or anything else.
if fiction had 0 impact on reality, representation wouldn't matter.
And if words on a screen didn't effect people, your dumb ass wouldn't be in my asks trying to make yourself feel better about being a freak ass who wants to make romanticized fic or art of kids being fucked.
considering, in the post I MADE on the subject:
i literally said "as long as it's not romanticized n is portrayed as it IS. then ok, write your fucky stuff. i'll be over here not engaging." when it comes to that.
and I also don't give a shadow of a fuck about kinkier shit. You do You. as long as it's properly labelled, in adult spaces, and between consenting adults, it ain't my business.
What I also wanna know though is WHY. Why are you so enamoured with characters well above the age of consent fucking around with characters under that age?
What is soooo tantilizing about it you just can't help yourself? That you wanna write this gross ass shit?
Examine that. and then seek therapy.
#tl;dr: art has impact on reality and it's easy to prove. you're a dumbass if you think otherwise.#there's a 50/50 shot you didnt even read my post all the way through#or youre totally willing to come into my house n die on the hill of writing/drawing fucked shit#which is a weird hill to die on but atleast you're dead

or use spite. spite can work too.
"How do I stop being scared of-" You do it scared. The courage arrives WITH the action, not before it. Don't wait to feel confident before you act because the key to confidence is usually doing the thing while still scared as fuck
#if you're ready to accept the consequences it doesn't matter if they still scare you#<- me dizzy and terrified of heights climbing up a swaying old shed to get back the sheet of tin my asshole father stole from my mom#you can be terrified and about to be sick but the spite will pull you through#yes i AM willing to die doing this thing#i've picked this hill with care#either i get when i came for or they have to deal with my spiteful spiteful corpse#collapsed the moment i reached ground again#but i did get that tin#b

thought it was Very Interesting that someone said laceaga wasn't sweet in the slightest when u romance him
#we either played very differently or have extremely different definitions of sweet#he just has a different way of showing he cares than the others#he put fruit in the cabin after you stayed there?#after you start dating and you tell him you're nervous he just gets confused because you're such a badass#he literally hypes you up constantly ??#HE'LL RUN AWAY WITH YOU?#HE BRINGS YOU THE SCALE AFTER YOU KILL CAS-CAS#HE SAYS HE'D APPLY IGON FOR YOU#HE PROPOSES AT THE BATTLE CIRCLE ???????#IDK MAN#ig this is a hill i'm willing to die on
