tbh i think a lot of the people saying "well both sides are wrong"/"bt stans are just as toxic" are just not exposed to other perspectives in this fandom. as a buddie fan who's been watching this show since s1, i can safely say that buddie fans have always been toxic. like as fact. to me, to say that bucktommy fans are just as harmful or just as annoying or just as bad as buddies consistently are is just. delusional. indicative of at worst a biased opinion and at best an uninformed one. buddie has been here since s2 and fans have ruthless ever since. bucktommy has been here for 3/4 of a season and for the most part, stay in their lane. i'm sure there are bucktommy fans who suck, like that's just being on the internet, but you have to be blind to ignore how insane buddie fans are and genuinely how much worse they are in comparison.

i don't want to generalize and i think constantly adding that disclaimer is annoying as hell bc obviously i'm not talking about everyone but because buddie has been here for so long and taken up so much mental space of very die-hard, passionate fans, you're going to see much more intensity on that side. after season 5, i had to step away from the fandom and the show because of how frustrating it got. it was annoying to see people swear up and down buddie will be canon by the end of s3-no wait s4-no wait s5-no wait- and ultimately it sucked my enjoyment out of a show i otherwise enjoyed because i got swept up in the Buddie Of It All and forget about why i watch the show to begin with. we've been left to stew in our theories and now we can't tell what canon and what's fanon anymore, and when the show reminds us, the disappointment and frustration kills our hopes.

i was also active in the dan and phil fandom and supernatural fandom, like ik why people think we're annoying and it's because we are. we make everything about the one thing we like, we comment on every post begging for it to become canon, we're violently disappointed when the show doesn't play into our fan theories because we've convinced ourselves buddie is going to happen by the end of the next episode or actually the end of this season or actually maybe the end of the next season. we've torn a part every female love interest, either making them boring or making them unlikeable in our fanon. all that to say is that when people call us annoying, they're telling the truth and when bucktommy fans say buddie fans are toxic, they're coming from a sincere place. i mean we can't even enjoy our own ship because we're so quick to get our hopes up and be let down about something as stupid it becoming canon. who cares if it becomes canon, just like it to like it.

and it makes sense why there's perceived "toxicity" on the bucktommy side. our energy is being matched; the obsession, the passion, the surge in fandom. if you don't like it or even just find it annoying, i suggest you guys look back on your own posts and comments and behaviors towards other people in the fandom and other characters and unbiasedly compare it to the Toxic Bucktommy Shippers you're claiming you hate. if bucktommy fans are obsessive, it's because we've set the stage for that. if bucktommy fans are getting aggro and defensive, it's because buddie fans have been on the opposition and don't know how to turn it off. we've gone from underdog to bully somewhere in the last 6 seasons.

After finishing She-Ra 2018 I'm trying to work on my unified theory for why CatDora bothers me as the endgame ship. Cause as CEO of mentally ill cartoon women, there's something about it that feels a disservice to Catra's psychology and trauma. She is genuinely such an interesting character to watch because they so clearly lay out the abusive dynamic that informs her entire character, but by the kiss, I feel like they lost steam with it.

The biggest thing to me is the simple fact that Adora is basically a trigger for her. Adora's personality as someone who is constantly self-sacrificing and forgiving is something Catra has a deep hatred for because she believes she is worthless and unforgivable, and when people try to help her she feels they're using her to look better while she fails to get better.

The fact that ADORA herself was the one in that original dynamic that traumatized the hell out of her makes me uncomfortable with how Catra eventually just... stops getting set off by things. I just can't imagine how what happened leading up to their kiss would desensitize Catra enough to that trauma response that she'd be in love with her. Like in that same season she was fucking death gripping the table at hearing Adora's name, and in seasons earlier she straight up like dissociated when people brought up her heroics. Not only the unearned healing, but the "I've loved you all along" feels a bit patronizing to her past. That all her emotionality was complicated romantic feelings, and not... having really nasty childhood trauma.

Only Oscar Isaac as Leto Atreides could pull me back from my slumber onto this hellhole nearly a year after I last posted… the power of Leto still controls me clearly 😵‍💫 Also seeing Dune again in the cinema gave me whiplash so hard I am SO READY for part two tomorrow I’m SCREAMING

Again, this is asking a lot from Bethesda, and I wouldn't worry if they didn't consider or think of this.

But it would be so, absolutely so amazing if they had a sleazy scummy antagonistic Ghoul whose trying to take advantage of the fact that Lucy is naive and new to the world to oversell things, who doesnt affect the plot of the story but is a recurring character, possibly a merchant of type.

Just so we get a nice variety of Ghouls, as a fun treat.

I think about that tiktok trend where you like paint your partners eye color on your nails or make a bracelet or something with the color a lot actually

Been feeling a little down this week, at least the Lions play tomorrow 🦁🏈

Been watching Chuck the last week, and I can honestly say it's one of my favorite shows. I hear that some people don't like post s2 so much, but I genuinely quite love it all. My only gripes are just Shaw, and probably Vivian Volkoff soon (I havent finished watching season 4 yet).

Like, you can't convince me that Shaw wasn't always a psychopath, he always had that "too perfect" image, and dead eyes, his romance with Sarah was also bland as hell, and you couldn't tell what words he said were sincere or not. I honestly thought he was going to be a double agent the whole time, and the fact that he turned on the team so quick is just... ick. Embarrassment. Wish he'd stayed dead.

Vivian is giving the same vibes. Though her father was a much more interesting villain.

Also I didn't really care for the way Shaw used Ellie. That pissed me off, and the fact that Ellie asked Chuck to quit spying. Though Chuck should have just come out right and said he couldn't do that. And, hell, to be fair to him, he tried, but Diane literally made it impossible for him to do anything else.

So a few complaints, where as I didn't have any in the first two seasons. I can see why people might not like them as much. But overall wonderful. Even better that Sarah and Chuck get to be together, cause they're the cutest couple. Also Chuck getting to be a badass spy (though I did love his original helplessness more - it's why I started watching the show) is perfect.

Bonus, Sam Beckett and Sarah Conner being Chuck's parents are perfect. Cause he encompasses BOTH those characters, and they fit as his parents well.

I need to find media with love stories similar to those in fantasy stuff but... not fantasy. like I just want to see a man covered in blood willing to die for his love and characters facing death and then running into the arms of each other. but it seems to me there's nowhere to find that outside fantasy shows. or like erotic books u find at the supermarket. I'd rather do fantasy than cheap romances or thrillers but idk I just don't wanna sit through like a billion magical battles to get to 15 minutes of romance anymore lol

happy aro awareness week

I was thinking about Banana Fish and I just realized something about the ending that absolutely devastated me... I'm sure other people caught this, but it took me a while...

At the end, Ash dies while happy because Eiji literally (and figuratively) taught him how to say goodbye - he has closure because of that. Meanwhile, Eiji, while on the plane, can't find it in him to say goodbye to Ash because he didn't get that same lesson (plus Ash was able to say goodbye to him at the hospital whereas Eiji wasn't)

Basically, Eiji teaching Ash to say goodbye was what offered him closure and part of the reason he was happy when he died (the other, of course, being that Eiji hadn't abandoned him). And I think that's simultaneously really sweet and really sad
