#WHICH EXACTLYYYYYYYY. EXACTLY.

I see where you're coming from, but also blorbo is different to everyone and we all had different experiences. I was in voltron but pidge was my blorbo, not lance, so I rarely saw him. And then I saw Yuuri everywhere whether I wanted to or not. Also, polls are not about accuracy, as much as we might think they should be. Life is a popularity contest. 馃┑馃挋馃┑馃挋馃┑
my blorbo rankings contain multitudes. however, i am cognizant enough to recognize two things:
while lance is not my specific blorboest blorbo, i still rank him to be a more iconic blorbo than yuri. and so my vote for lance is still valid.
this poll is about most iconic blorbo. i like keith and allura more than i like lance, but i firmly believe that lance is voltron's most iconic character. i define "iconic" based on the following criteria: a) canon material; b) fandom experience and reaction; and c) impact on outsiders (the "did i see this character everywhere" standard). i heavily value points in the (b) category over points for (a) and (c).
lance's canon material sucks ass. however, the fandom's ability to 1) go crazy over lance anyway, and then 2) ability to extrapolate so heavily, insist on digging so deeply, and create so genuinely is impressive to me. and also incredibly hilarious. this is why i made the toxic iconity argument: i deeply respect the daily battles lance stans fought, both between themselves/the wider voltron fandom, and the constant enduring sisyphus-level uphill battle against the quality of the canon material. lance stans were able to create everything out of veritable nothingness, and i believe that deserves to be commemorated.
#i had to go straight to a zoom meeting without getting breakfast so i am crabby. sorry in advance anon.#someone sent an ask in about this that basically said 'the 'i saw x everywhere but not y therefore x over y' argument is stupid#'because tumblr is all about curating your own personal experience'#WHICH EXACTLYYYYYYYY. EXACTLY.#like sure being able to say 'my technologically illiterate dying grandmother praised lance voltron unprompted at the breakfast table'#would certainly be a compelling factoid. a seemingly 'objective' proof of lance voltron's widespread popularity.#but it's also... everything i'm positing is rooting in a biased perspective.#but evaluating (c) outsider impact requires 1) neutrally recognizing actual impact and 2) fairly attributing a correct level of impact#it's not a zero sum game ffs. i also saw yuri everywhere in 2016. it can be mutually true that both yuri and lance were popular characters.#what it really comes down to is which character you more personally value and care about more#so that's why i don't reallyyyyy gaf about the 'i saw goody proctor with the devil (fandom metrics)' argument#ask#anonymous

I do think a lot of those "everyone speaks in code those evil neurotypicals!" posts ignore the fact that miscommunication isn't just a neurodivergent thing. IMO its the norm to just not know what the hell management is implying half the time. Like rather imply there's a code that everyone else but the neurodivergents understands and has memorized, people need to recognize that miscommunication is common. Lots of professionals just speak incomprehensibly to everyone around them, including other professionals. Some peopel are just passive aggressive or incoherent. Or so stupid they can't say what they mean.
no exactlyyyyyyyy. like ive had the displeasure to talk to all kinds of ppl and it really comes down to the fact that a lot of ppl don't understand that other ppl communicate differently 馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶馃槶 they'll be like 'i understand it why can't you' and then just get mad. and that's not exclusive to any kind of person. like i know multiple neurospicy ppl who are impossible to communicate with bc they're just self centered and only want to be told they're right they than absorb anything entirely.
and in the workplace i think it's just absorbed the worst qualities of the worst kinds of ppl where double speak, passive aggression, 'looking busy' culture, not being efficient bc you want to waste time, etc etc. and bc so many of the rules are unwritten it's like naturally hostile to anyone that's not exactly like that. which includes neurotypicals and atypicals with the atypicals catching even more hostility depending on how not attuned they are to the backwardsness of the culture 馃槶
like i don't think workplace culture is pure neurotypical culture but like an amalgamation of all it's worst traits so that even if you've built the communication skills as a neuroatypical it can be a major hurdle if you don't understand it's a totally different language. like i literally had to read books on workplace culture to understand what was going on bc they would say one thing and mean another bc im thinking oh communicating at work is just like normal communication just. at work. so don't curse don't be too personal etc when it's truly a whole different world 馃槶馃槶馃槶
#learned the hard way that if a coworker keeps complaining around you it's bc they want you to join in so they can repeat it to the person#like what

this is kinda a rant but i will never truly understand the hatred that exists towards harry but i believe that people don鈥檛 like him anymore because he鈥檚 popular which is like鈥he stupidest reason to not like something. or that he鈥檚 publically dating someone which is stupid as well. or that people think that harry, a real person, can queerbait, which is stupid as hell. or that he made his s.o. cheat on her husband which has literally been denied many times and either way how would it be his fault? not that harry鈥檚 perfect or whatever but it very much seems that people want him to fuck up and want to have the opportunity to kick him when he鈥檚 down. i truly feel bad that they can鈥檛 enjoy harry as he is and have to either straight up make up lies about him or make fun of his appearance, both things that i truly don鈥檛 believe harry would do to anyone.
YOU SAID IT BESTIE
Anonymous asked: Nah it's just so embarrassingly transparent at this point. SO MANY people in this fandom just really want dwd to be terrible because they don't like Olivia/don't like that Harry is dating Olivia. So they will react negatively & overdramatically to ANYTHING concerning the movie because they want to feed their headcanon that it's going to be shit. I feel so bad that Harry got stuck with such a disgraceful group of fans. I like actually hate it here. Fandom is supposed to be fun but it's getting miserable at this point. Fuck all of you who can't grow the FUCK up and respect that Harry is an adult man who is going to date who he wants regardless of what people on the internet think about it. I am so TIRED of it. People have been this way for almost NINE FUCKING MONTHS. He cannot catch a fucking break with anything he does. People will always always always always find a reason to be mad about it or make fun of it.
you said it exactlyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous asked: this isn鈥檛 some up his ass thing because everything could need a bit of improvement. the highest scoring movie across all metrics and critics will still have something to criticise and it鈥檚 100% fine if people have major problems or if people loved it. everyone鈥檚 work;past, future or present could need work. it鈥檚 just annoying to see the constant negativity because this fandom literally spends 80% of their fandom time fighting negativity, whether it鈥檚 a post with 0 likes or 20k likes then go blind to their mutuals or perpetuate themselves. and it鈥檚 just interesting that everyone suddenly has movie tea and industry friends. were where they for elvis or prince eric? or before dwd/mp were announced? or during the first 3 months of shooting or even the eternals 馃お it鈥檚 just so transparent i鈥檓 sorry like y鈥檃ll鈥檚 uncle鈥檚 girlfriend鈥檚 friend didn鈥檛 realise it was harry on set until january.
yuppppp!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous asked: people hate Stan harry here is crazy and those people are usually the ones complaining about twitter harries, they act like the people they criticize, where's the logic?
honestly lately twitter is way more bearable then on here (not yall jnfbhvji)
Anonymous asked: yk what i find fucking hilarious is when l*rries see a picture of harry with a SO they immediately yell "it's just a pic馃檮 doesn't mean anything" however they cling to a 3 sec clip of him and l*uis making the smallest eye contact and suddenly they're like "soulmates馃グ馃グ馃グ" make it make sense??? exactly.
bYE IK
Anonymous asked: Larries are so stupid 馃槶 literally the day after we all knew screenings were happening almost EVERY anon from those crazy big larries went to see the movie, like ok boo y'all collectively went to see the movie yesterday why would I ever doubt you, it's not like it's the same group of people who have been faking testimonies of the cousin of a friend of a friend saw Harry and Louis making out in a gay bar馃グ
LITERALLYKHJIBK
Anonymous asked: the members of the I hate olivia club are celebrating that the clip leaked because that means it's a bad movie therefore they have to humble harry 馃榿 they act like larries a lot of the times, and it's crazy
very weird behavior you dont have to like her but why do yall want harry to fail so bad its fucking weird
