#a lot of ppl don’t get this

“queer spaces should be inclusive of people who don’t enjoy sex and who have “strange”, negative or repulsed relationships with sex” and “sex is an important aspect of lgbt community, history, and activism and queer people should be allowed and able to talk freely about sex without stigma or shame” are ideas that can and should coexist.

i think c!schlatt was horrible to c!quackity but i think there’s a tendency to like… make him more blatantly disgustingly awful in fanon than he is in canon? either to really drive home the fact that he was abusive, or to drag out extra angst points, or whatever other reason. but i think it’s worth noting that schlatt counts as abusive in canon without adding anything to it. he’s physically abusive onscreen, he’s emotionally abusive and manipulative in objectifying quackity and tying his worth to his physical appearance, completely inconsiderate of his wants/feelings, starts off overwhelmingly affectionate towards quackity and then sharply stops that after he’s got what he wants, and etc etc etc. there’s so much he does that’s fucked up and canon. but there’s also a lot of really funny things he does in canon and a lot of bits that make it harder to notice when he’s doing the fucked up things. like, you don’t see that he’s being a dick because you’re too busy laughing about it. and i think that probably adds to why fanon tends to make c!schlatt Worse to c!quackity? idk. i’m rambling now, but i was just thinking about it and wanted to jot thoughts down real quick

wrestling is so weird. like. these aren’t real people. but they ARE real people. but they’re not. sometimes they use their real names, sometimes they act like themselves, but they’re still CHARACTERS, despite using the same name and acting like themselves and generally just being a person. but then you have people that act like they’re demons or gods or aliens and like. they’re considered just as normal and average and they’re just tossed into a ring with ppl that are Just Dudes, and sometimes the Just Dudes WIN!!!

sometimes it’s so hard to be like “hey this is a character, this isn’t a real person” when you see like. dante martin or jon moxley or toni storm or jamie hayter or somebody that’s just a Person. but then they go up against malakai black or danhausen or abadon or alien gimmick kris statlander and it’s like oh yeah, that’s right, this is all very much a story telling experience that’s being acted out for my entertainment and i LOVE that. i can’t get that kind of experience anywhere else. thats such a pro wrestling specific emotion to feel and i love it so much. kayfabe is so fun.

been seeing a lot of questionable takes on my dash lately, like “mitchum was right to tell rory she didn’t have it” and “rory writing a book about her life is stupid” and I’m just… stunned by them. not only are they flat out wrong, but both of them pointedly insult rory and her capability to perform as an adequate journalist and storyteller. we know rory has it because it’s established throughout the entire series—she does great at the franklin and even manages to put spins on what should be crap stories like the pavement piece; she also rises to the top at the YDN and becomes editor in chief. not only is she great when it comes to writing (which is drilled into the viewer and over—it’s an indisputable, canonical fact), but she’s also great under pressure and defying expectations. when she went to chilton the odds were against her—it was predicted that she wouldn’t be able to catch up and would flunk out. and what did she do instead? she became valedictorian and went on to attend an ivy league university. mitchum’s critique of rory is fucking laughable when you consider all of that, but it’s even more ridiculous when you factor in that he was barely around throughout her stint interning for him, and decided that she “didn’t have it” simply because she didn’t speak up during one meeting, even though doing so would usually be considered incredibly disrespectful. rory has amazing ideas and she’s fantastic at executing them, and we know she was a successful journalist until richard’s death, which is the only reason she was in a rut at all. therefore the idea that she “doesn’t have it” is, again, canonically incorrect.

as for the other thing, rory writing a book about her life is the opposite of stupid. to the people who agree with this: you do realize you just watched an entire show about her life and found it entertaining, right? it’s a memoir about her childhood, her relationship with her mother, and how being the daughter of a teen mother affected her. there’s absolutely a market for that sort of thing. not only that, but this is rory we’re talking about: she’s perfectly capable of translating the magic we see on screen onto the page. in fact, i think it’s kind of implied that the book will play out similarly to the show and have the same kind of vibe—it sucks you in and keeps you coming back for more. anyway, tl;dr, all the rory bashing and complete lack of faith in her ability to be a good journalist is pretty unfounded and unfair. i feel like it’s just another outlet that people are using to put her down, but it has no basis in fact (like most anti-rory takes).

Saw some people applying @autismtypes posts to various autistic-coded characters and I had to get on that too

i love being aspec and also loving sex. for me, sex is so interesting and i love thinking abt it and i love talking abt it even when i don’t really seek out the physical act of it. i love flirting and i love sexting and i love reading and writing smut. i love how sex can bring people together and how it can ruin people and how it can color the way we view the world. i love how sex can render a person to goo, can give people agency, can be funny as hell. i love the way some people find it easiest to drop the roles society pushes on them when they feel safe with someone in a bedroom. sex rules !

find it hilarious that there was so much fun debate about whether adam/gangsey were responsible for manslaughter with whelk and in dreamer trilogy it’s like. multiple main characters in one way or the other are responsible for mass murders. hennessy declan liliana farooq-lane (and i guess even parsifal and bryde at the end) racking up body count in DOZENS and DOZENS

call me delusional but i don’t think wille and simon staying together for a long time or getting married in the future is as unrealistic as some people might think it is

Also like, c’mon guys the angst of JC going to the past and the realizing that if he stops the war he effectively kills everyone born in YMJ in the last 13/16 years? JC realizing that if his entire home doesn’t die then he never has the loyalty of the family that he built and protected for almost two decades?? Can he kill them? They won’t know, but he will. Could he do it or would it drive him mad? Could he ever see a child of YMJ and not think about the ones who used to be underfoot? Could he train disciples without thinking about the ones he carried through war? Could he hear “Sect Leader” and not choke thinking of everyone he swore to protect after the war?

Do you realize how fully you could break him?? You could pin him between WWX and his sect again and make him cry!! Save WWX or kill his family? AGAIN!! Parallels!

Let one family burn or be the executioner of the other! Save the family you were born into or the one you carried through war and swore yourself too! Save your sister or the YMJ child you know was born to your second disciple! Save your mother or your right hand man! Save your father or the children you raised in your home! Save your brother or every person who looks to you for protection and supported you through war!

i desperately need more ppl to be creators bc not only is it good for their soul, but the amount of ppl who just mindlessly consume other’s work kills me. i’m not saying you need to have deep thoughts abt everything you enjoy, it’s just that there is a concerning lack of understanding and compassion and even common sense given to creators, and i can only assume it’s bc those ppl lack creativity themselves

“Aizawa won the Sports Festival as a Gen Ed kid and Mic befriended him cause he thought he was cool” how about Mic won the Sports Festival and, since he felt a bit behind after transferring to the hero course and befriending the strongest person in class felt like the most logical way to combat that, Aizawa befriended him

my toxic trait is that due to my transgender homosexual swag and also social anxiety, I watch wedding/wedding related videos sometimes not as wedding inspo or even to laugh at them but literally out of pure morbid fascination/horror. it’s like. how are you not screaming crying throwing up at the concept of having to kiss somebody in front of everyone you know and ur whole family?? the amount of MONEY that weddings cost?? SO MUCH MONEY FOR ONE NIGHT?? the weird wedding rules??? the christian origins and implications of so much of it?? the concept of sleeping w ur partner on ur wedding night and EVERYONE KNOWS????? Like don’t get me wrong I’m pro-sex etc I don’t think it’s a shameful thing at ALL, I’m just personally a very private person when it comes to relationships and pda ESP when it comes to family knowing about it. like hell I could deal w kissing someone in front of my family that’s not the issue, it’s the Pressure of It while they’re all literally staring at You Specifically, Waiting For You To Kiss.

( i mostly watch white cishet wedding content bc that’s where the true heteronormative horrors are- at least for me bc thats what ive grown up around/what the expectation was for my future so I’m just talking abt those specifically)

like I’m literally not even trying to be a pretentious “I’m so quirky and different 🤪” dipshit, I literally just have such a visceral reaction to the concept of it LMAO like kudos to anyone who can go through that bc I would die of embarrassment on the spot I think like I’m not anti-wedding I just don’t get it and I’m sure I’d be fine with a more casual wedding but watching the stereotypical cishet weddings just feels like watching a train wreck like I can’t look away

I’m glad that people are starting to move away from “wink wink nudge nudge he’s (always he) special but not ABNORMAL” depictions of autism/ADHD/SPD/what have you but sometimes I think people are being pressured to swing too far in the opposite direction, where if characters aren’t immediately recognizable as having this discrete diagnosis, that’s ableism and Bad Representation.

I think there’s value in writing characters who are clearly neuroatypical but in a way that’s hard to pin down, that doesn’t conform neatly to one DSM-V category or another. Neuroatypical diagnoses describe real experiences in a groupable way but they’re also not laws of nature, they’re culturally and temporally dependent. Even within the Western medical model, what’s considered absolutely “characteristic” of XYZ condition changes.

And the consequences of that often have to do with expanding those categories — understanding gendered presentation of female-socialized ADHD vs. male-socialized ADHD, for example, or racialized diagnosis of ODD vs. autism. Which is good! But I hope that we can also acknowledge that just... humans are diverse, “neuroatypical” and “neurotypical” are not neatly divided opposites, and there are a lot of people who live in cousin-y grey areas where their experience of embodiment/themselves/other people/the world overlaps but is not identical with people who meet more of the “characteristic” features of recognized defined conditions, and exploring those experiences in fiction enriches rather than detracts.
