#This shit is fucking stupid and I'm mad about it

[pinkrangerv]

Also, as much as we like to pretend a good person will magically be able to intuit that prejudice is wrong--no, no you fucking can't.

Are you uncomfortable with that homeless man on the bus? That's probably because your mother or uncle or other beloved adult, who tied your shoelaces and made yummy dinners, was ALSO uncomfortable with homeless people.

If your parents and adults loved you as a kid, then you never had a reason to question them, no matter what they said. That's a great thing! You had trustworthy people in your life! But they taught you bad shit, too (hopefully by accident), so you're accidentally repeating it.

YOU WILL NOT GET ANYWHERE BY BEING MAD AT YOURSELF THAT YOU DIDN'T CATCH THIS OR HAVEN'T FIXED IT YET.

So don't do that.

No one can tell what you're thinking until you do something. If you're not sneering and leaning away, or starting a scene? No one knows or cares. Thoughtcrime isn't a thing. You're not in trouble for, and let me emphasize this here, *believing the things you were taught as a kid*.

What you DO need to do is say this to yourself: "Hunh, I feel really uncomfortable for a shitty reason. I was taught this as a kid, and the people who taught me that probably wanted to keep me safe. They were wrong, and this person ISN'T dangerous, but my mom thinks ABBA is fashionable and my dad sometimes wears bell bottoms. Sometimes my family is dumb, so I'm going to sit back and enjoy my bus ride instead of taking Mr. Bell Bottoms entirely seriously."

And then sit back and relax.

Sometimes people teach us stupid shit. Sometimes it's bigoted shit. But you don't need to freak out about you or them being secretly evil; just saying 'wow, that's dumb, I'm ignoring it' will get you a lot farther here, because odds are, that really is all that happened. Think it through, then relax. That's all you need to do here.

Haven't figured out a politic way to word this but before saying someone/thing "makes you uncomfortable" please ask yourself this important question: is it any of your fucking business

So I've been trying to buy pants and it reminded me that everything is sized so small and I got angry again because

Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".

They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)

I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅

Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂

its soooo awesome how i get to read tags like this every other day bc my most popular post made its way into beatles rpf tumblr and they don't have the brain and foresight to understand that i (OP) don't think their headcanons about which beatle is fucking which is funny and quirky and in fact i think its pretty fucking gross

i don't think i'll ever get over how people treat kids that aren't good in school as worthless no matter what. "oh it can't be that bad" my guy idk how to tell you this but the last time i went to a normal high school the principal called me into his office to brag about how he failed me in all of my classes before the semester was even finished & i should quit while i'm ahead cuz i'm too stupid ("officially" diagnosed as such by a school counselor & a psychiatrist!!) to succeed. & this is considered normal

[bachirasbodyguard]

Ok I can't not talk about this for any longer.

What the FUCK is up with Blue Lock chapter 156???? you know the one where Bastard is doing the obstacle course? Please look closely

What the fuck is all of that 😭😭 First of all, where in the actual fuck does it all fit in the building???? based on the fucking size of this shit it takes up like a third of the entire Blue Lock complex and for what reason?? also why does everything suddenly look like the manga takes place in the year 2723??

Also, why did they have to make this room so needlessly huge, like? Why is the ceiling 60 meters tall just for them to run on the ground and then up a lil??

And don't even get me started on this fucking shit.

Like are you actually for fucking real telling me they have discovered how to levitate objects in the BL universe and NO ONE cares?? look at the first panel again. An entire walkway is just suspended in the air on NOTHING?? Like the micro-translators were already pretty crazy but THIS is some fucking Star Wars, Blade Runner, The Jetsons type shit like???

and what would happen to Igaguri if he fell off here (the ground is like 5 stories below)? WOULD HE JUST DIE???

And how many tens of millions of dollars did it cost to build this futuristic ass obstacle course with fucking invisible screens and levitating platforms that was just COMPLETELY unused before this one tiny part of the blue lock players came here

No fucking wonder this institution is going bankrupt like holy shit.

And no one said anything about this obstacle course in character too like hello? is this normal to you????? I can not fucking believe we got this one absolutely insane, bizzare, world-breaking chapter and then just moved on like nothing happened 😭😭

IDW1 must take place on an alternate Earth where no one has ever heard of ACAB and everyone wears "thin blue line" merchandise because there's literally no other way that a single Autobot killing a USAmerican cop in self defense would be such worldwide news that even Mexican journalists would go "OMG???? You like, killed a cop?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?" and it wasn't even framed as like, "you killed a human," the phrasing every time any character talked about it was very specifically "he killed a cop".

The cop was also threatening to shoot a group of surrendering/not-attacking/injured Autobots btw which is just the icing on the cake honestly lmao

if I see another post about "Steven's $1000 dinners" from someone with absolutely no clue how much Ghost Files costs to film I will probably start sending hate anons or something. you just don't have any idea how much it takes to make something because you have never paid for it and so you think it is worthless and the work everyone does on it is trash: say it with your whole chest.

i hate reading philosophy omg. endless sentences of the author throwing around random words that probably only made sense to their own brain and then the insight of these "deep thoughts" is stuff like "people behave differently in different settings" or "people don't always act according to their own values" woooowww. and then there are "differing" perspectives on an issue and i'm sitting there reading those and thinking "but none of that negates the other??? it can both be true??????" oh and then also usually the issue is just that language is ambigous and it can be hard to put your thoughts into words.

People who complain about ships getting more attention than others are too blinded by bitterness to actually make content for the ship they believe is getting sidelined, worsening the problem theyre whining about.

I'm technically most likely demiromantic (definitely demisexual) which is technically on the aro spectrum but I'm sooooo romance favorable that it almost doesn't feel like it counts????

I'm a huge romantic sap but I'm kind of funky with crushes. I have them and I get them but I'm very particular and I almost have... control over them???

Like when I start to feel the feelings™, I then start looking at a possible relationship through "logic lens".

"Compatible here, there, there too. Okay, we're not with that though, and I will not move on that so therefore it will not work. Alright, cool! Best friend! Best friend! Best friend!"

I can just shut off the feelings™ once I get the feeling it's not gonna work, especially if it's on something I will not change. If I have a feeling there's potential, I let feelings "grow".

[beast-feast]

One day gonna start a GoFundMe to get this grown man out of my house so we can all live normally again

Gonna use this image any time someone says something low key sexist about Sable (ie "she's showing too much skin" regarding a fucking bathing suit 😭🤦)

I don't hear you complaining about Spirit 😭
