#a single person perpetuates

it’s the way billy’s a scapegoat not only in show but for the duffers too like
people will spend all their time focusing on the actions of a fictional teenager rather than question the fact these two white men were all too eager to have a racial slur used against a literal child and have felt comfortable having racism in lucas’ story without it actually go anywhere all while putting no focus on him as a character
they use it as a thing, as a prop, rather than acknowledging it as the systemic issue it actually is - like they use it, have lucas canonically experience racism and then push his character to the back
it’s so blatant too, there’s nothing subtle about it but because everyone’s so busy focusing on big bad billy hargrove, racism doesn’t get discussed in the stranger things fandom the way it should because everyone’s too busy focusing on the actions of one single fictional character
#billy hargrove#stranger things#they get away with so much because billy’s just there#the way the word racist is thrown around too is so crazy#like i wish people would just do some research and know what they’re talking about before they post terrible harmful takes that get#thousands of notes from impressionable kids#like people have convinced themselves racism is a thing that’s like#a single person perpetuates#and that no one else would be racist in a town like hawkins in the 80’s#they believe only a villain and a bad guy could hold such beliefs#which just isn’t how it works#and has never been how it works#that’s a dangerous way of thinking about it too#and they’re SO quick to ‘i’m not racist i’ve never been racist because’#and it’s like the first step is acknowledging how racism is ingrained into every day society rather than jump to the defence because you#believe that it would make you an ‘irredeemable villain’ akin to billy#like there’s such a big conversation to be had but it CAN’T be had because many fans refuse to talk and converse and l#listen and get other peoples perspectives so unfortunately this is where we’re at

gnawing at the bars of my cage
can we please Stop telling SU blind reactors all the fandom drama and SU crit that came out of every episode so we can allow them to just enjoy the show like a normal person at their own leisure and make their Own opinions thank u
#anyways if i see a SINGLE person comment anywhere from SU s3 to s5 that 'warning the end of s5 is rushed' i will rush right in with#'IN YOUR OPINION'#bc like i know i've beaten this dead horse against the wall a million times but It's Not Rushed Honey it's literally just Fine#it's an Ending#it's Entirely Serviceable#rushed would be if steven pulled a deus ex machina out of his ass at Garnet's wedding and magically healed all corrupted gems by himself#with the power of uwu or whatever#but NO he has to work for his healed corrupted gems#the ones that caused the damage Fix the damage as reparations for the harm they perpetuated#steven learns he is Not His Mom and gains a more stable sense of self#that's all p good and thought out shit to me#i think the ONLY thing that i can remotely point to as potentially 'well damn that was a lot all at once'#was the new fusions one after another. but like come on. why you gonna be mad about that. just enjoy it and have fun brenda#they thought they literally had No More Story and wanted to leave the fans this one last gift#and instead what they get is fans whining that it's 'rushed'#rushed has a shit ass connotation these days#why can't we just say what we mean and call it 'lean storytelling'#it's all the story we needed to get a cohesive ending but without any fat#and like i LOVE me some fat sometimes#but like!! even non fatty meat tastes good!#my god#jen rambles#edited tags to clarify my meaning ahahah

While I am girlposting (waiting for my hair to dry) a while back I saw art for an AU where Lan Fan got possessed by Greed instead and I had the following thoughts in rough sequence:
That's one way to get your arm back.
Lan Fan lesbian awakening???
FMA can finally ascend to wizards versus lesbians status, specifically the "ah fuck there's a guy in my head" subcategory.
It would go so poorly for everyone. He would call her a brainwashed lapdog. She would call him a selfish monster. He would say her boss seems pretty shitty if he can't keep his possessions from getting maimed. She would suplex them both into the sewer. I would watch it.
#Greed: at least my dad made me regenerate before telling me to die for him#Lan Fan: you don't understand loyalty#Greed: sure don't. I don't understand living your entire life not taking a single thing for yourself.#this is so sad I will let you use my body for 5 minutes if you can name one thing you want personally#Lan Fan: I want you to die#Greed: that's on me I set the bar too low#perpetual perpetual ladies night#fma

sick of people acting like being alone/lonely = being single. ofc you're allowed to feel like that, I'm aro and could not care less that I don't have a partner so I have no idea what it feels like to have that experience, but god just once I'd like to find poetry and art made by people who know how it feels to have no friends and feel lonely no matter how many people are around you and know that you don't belong no matter where you are
#I'm lucky enough to have two good friends right now who i love very much#but that doesn't mean that they understand how i feel or how i have felt#and knowing you're alone in that overbearing loneliness just alienates you more and further perpetuates the feeling#i still miss out on so many opportunities to be friends with people i genuinely want to be friends with so bad because i can't talk to them#i still get so paranoid sometimes and stop replying to anyone because I'm convinced they hate me and there's something wrong with me#sometimes to the point where i avoid teachers who i need to talk to because i am sure that everything i say will be wrong#even someone being nice can feel awful because i think that they just feel bad or are pretending and actually trying to make fun of me#i know nobody actually knows who i am or how i feel because i hide everything to fit in with people and what they need/want#i have never felt like i belong anywhere and trying to explain that to people is so hard#there are times i love being alone but knowing that I've missed out on every regular human experience is so isolating#i just want to be normal and have friends i love and hang out with and talk to and not feel like every word i say could be the end of me#and when i try to find anybody who relates all i get is “oh im alone again :(( being single is awful”#i really do empathize with those people but it is nothing like my experience of loneliness#(tags are just for finding people who relate)#social anxiety#avpd#avoidant personality disorder#actuallyavpd#loneliness#chronic loneliness

Normal Batman fans: I don't want to engage with parts of canon in which my fave is an abusive asshole. I choose to engage with other stories instead, and I ignore stories that I dislike.
Nasty toxic Batman fans: Ooh, Bruce is being totally gross again, don't mind if I do~
Good Dad Bruce™ stans: Yes, I fully acknowledge that every single one of Bruce's kids is deeply—at times suicidally—traumatized by his parenting failures in canon, but he is NOT a bad parent! Bruce LOVES his family. Sometimes COMPLICATED PARENTS make their children feel WORTHLESS and ISOLATED, and then don't do anything to fix it! It's totally NATURAL, Bruce is just a COMPLICATED parent! He's COMPLICATED! Bruce LOVES his family. COMPLICATED, I say! NOT ABUSIVE! Would an abusive parent put a hand on his child's shoulder in a vague display of warmth once every few years??? Hm??? Yeah, I DIDN'T THINK SO, YOU STUPID ABUSE VICTIMS!! Bruce LOVES his family. He does nice things—why are you ignoring all the nice things that he's done? He is just an IMPERFECT person, he has made some teeny tiny mistakes repeatedly with 5+ separately acquired children over a twenty-year period. Bruce is just a regular IMPERFECT human being—which means that you critics are the UNREASONABLE MONSTERS imposing PERFECTIONIST standards on a poor innocent middle-aged baby adult man! Bruce LOVES his family. How could we expect exceptionally privileged hyperintelligent parents NOT to regularly use their position of power to make 4-6 children feel inadequate, unsafe, and alone?? What ridiculously high standards! Bruce LOVES his family.
#I hope you impressionable youngsters are learning the warning signs of abusive families and cults during your time in this fandom.#Bruce Wayne hate club#COMPLICATED PARENT BRUCE WAYNE#You know I personally like my own cobbled version of Bruce Wayne too. I like to ignore canon as I please.#But some of you stans work overtime to come up with the cruelest most hurtful insensitive and vomit-inducing IGNORANT opinions about abuse.#So eager to sanitize decades of a grown rich white male hero living his power fantasy on the backs of vulnerable and traumatized kids#--in your zeal to make sure that the world's most popular superhero doesn't suffer a whisper of criticism--#you choose to echo the excuses given to powerful people who use their power to hurt and control smaller people.#'He is complicated—' His behavior is abusive.#'He didn't intend to—' He did something abusive.#'But he LOVES his family!' He is an abusive piece of shit and he needs to do better.#'Well he is just an imperfect human—' Nobody is asking him to be perfect. Not everyone perpetuates abuse and refuses to change.#'But you have to understand that he had a very terrible childhood.' Every single one of his kids has had an inarguably worse childhood.#'Hm. That version of Bruce really is an abusive asshole. My homebrew isn't and he wouldn't do that.' DING DING DING! WINNER WINNER! 🥳👑👑👑#'Bruce is an abusive asshole. He is the perfect meow meow for my fiction about toxic families and dark themes.' YES. YOU WIN. 💗👏👏👏😘😘😘#IMPERFECT PARENT BRUCE WAYNE#negativity#fandom discourse#anti Bruce Wayne#child abuse mention cw#The funny thing is that this blog discusses Jason Todd the most but I'd say he probably suffered the least abuse.#At least he's a villain. What is Bruce's excuse for the way he mistreats and neglects the others?

being a jackgirl is terrible enough but being a jackgirl who understands dean is a burden I would wish on everyone so we’d stop having the same seven-year-old discourse about whether or not dean is really jack’s dad
#say it with me kids:#THIS IS THE CYCLE OF ABUSE AND BEING A BETTER PERSON SHOW. THERES GONNA BE SOME PERPETUATION AND BEING WORSE.#also. cannot stress this enough that Dean canonically never forgave himself for it. for TWO STRAIGHT YEARS he could not let go of it#this man once said that he was good with who he was INCLUDING every single murder and fuckup he ever committed#but the one thing he absolutely couldn’t forgive himself for was how he treated jack#also also. not only did Jack forgive him but their entire ‘spat’ lasted two weeks lmao#get over yourseeellllveesssss dean is jacks dad#cal.txt#spn#jack kline#dean winchester#‘oh but he tried to kill Jack in this episode’ okay? as if he didn’t try to kill sam or cas before? as if THEY haven’t tried to kill him?#as if they ALL haven’t tried to kill each other at some point??#what show are y’all watching that you think this is suddenly exclusive to dean#tsk tsk tsk

This blog chose people over a video game
#seriously.#the choice is literally a product or real people’s right to exist#I chose not to buy a product that perpetuates antisemitism#people matter#and a video game doesn’t#fuck hogwarts legacy#fuck jkr#trans rights#human rights#humans over corporations#people over products#it’s really not that hard#to look at a product and see that it’s value is a fraction of that of a single person#it’s value is practically nonexistent compared to multiple communities of people

Today I learned that the hole you see on the upper right side of slugs is not actually the genital pore, but is instead the breathing hole (pneumostome). The genital pore is in the same general place, but is too small to see, which means that i had misidentified this piece of slug anatomy to my friend a few years ago,
which means i spread misinformation, which means I feel compelled to correct my mistake,
which means I have just texted someone I haven't spoken to in months at midnight to nitpick a slug anatomy fact that they probably were not even paying attention to and have certainly forgotten by now regardless.
#the only person i am unstoppably compelled to 'um actually'#is myself#slug facts#is this why i'm perpetually single?#probably#but is this why i have a large body of well-sourced knowledge that my friends family and acquaintances feel they can trust?#also probably#only the shittest of posts#tag 5

Personally I think that ‘good queer representation’ does not have to mean the character in question has a romantic relationship during the story, and in fact characters who are single yet happily queer, or single and still in the process of coming out to themselves and their loved ones, are still valid and important.
#st tags are annoying me#Robin existing as a single lesbian who is openly and happily attracted to women and talks about that freely w a friend she trusts#is GOOD and refreshing content#as a perpetually single queer gal especially#and I’m still internally crying happy tears at jonathan telling will there’s nothing in the world that will make him stop loving him#and just picturing Joyce saying the same thing when will tells her#and her saying ‘baby I’m so sorry this world is so unkind to you but I will be beside you every step of your journey’#and the very concept of Joyce marching with PFLAG at pride events in future with a PROUD OF MY GAY SON sign#I’m blubbering will byers has an accepting loving family in the 1980s that’s so good#coming out stories don’t always involve dating#sometimes you figure it out within yourself alone and that’s valid#not saying it’s a perfect show just saying there’s more than one kind of queer story#and that includes queer singledom#I’m not telling anyone their personal feelings about the show are invalid though don’t come at me

#literally ypu can't have one single conversation about internalised misogyny#and the way both society in general and mother in particular reinforce beauty standards and shame for having a female body#thus perpetuating the cycle#with my mother that she starts saying it's not her fault and she had it worse with her mother because [stuff not strictly related to#misogyny] and she actually did her best and let us free a lot and like o my god#that.is.not.the.point. it's a solidarity thing it's a we both got screwed up please unlearn this shit#it's not a I'm blaming you it's all your fault thing. leave me alone just leave me alone#personal

op of a post is in the same ""cringe"" fandom as me so i can openly be a fan of it in the tags without the fear of being singled out and mocked by them and then all their followers for it incident 13 resurrected 27 healed
#this happened twice today. w the post i j rbed which was being shared by swifters but feels like it cld blow up soon#to the point of everyone rbing it and if op wasnt also a swfite id b scared to even mention tswift let alone blast style lyrics#and also w the post abt characters from fandoms u sued to be in staying w u ik the op is an ex tss fan so i shant be mocked there either#(tho i also know they werent big on romantic prinxitey but like. theres a difference between that and getting anons telling me to off mysel#bc the op thought it would be funny to point me out as the cringe person for everyone to mock)#im not kidding this is a real like. fear of mine even if i want to i wont mention tswift in tags on a post out of fear of being singled out#and thats also the reason i j say roman if i mention him in the tags of a psot even though its confusing bc everyone into succsesion#part of me feels like im letting a fear of ppl judging me dictate my behavior and i need to stop caring if ppl think im cringe#but at the same time it is like. a genuine fear that if im singled out by op to be made fun of ill get legitimatly harrased#by their followers or if its in a rb by other people who see the post and laugh at it#idk !! im very weird about this and i think its the fault of. not an incident that happened last year but two specifc ppls behavior#that led to that incident and the attitudes they perpetuated. thats all ill say . other than its dumb that this still affects me#but it just does i guess !!!. i do wanna start not caring me though j also be cautious like ill wait unti the post is at 10k+ notes yk.#anyway !! how come i never shut up up huh im always talking in the tumblr post tags . and then like two ppl care. and i love them 4 it<3#flappy rambles

#i told myself i wasn’t going to bring the discourse here but i’m so fucking tired of you all accusing louis of perpetuating#toxic masculinity just because he doesn’t fit your preconceived image of what a gay man is supposed to look and act like#you want to fit him into a stereotype because that’s what you’re comfortable with#not that it matters but louis has shown his vulnerable side multiple times in his music and videos#he’s not a fictional one dimensional character. he’s a real person with complexities who can like and dislike different things#who can show different sides of him#for the love of god if every single thing he does pisses you off leave!!! just fucking leave!!!#discourse#jackie.txt

gonna keep this for myself forever thank u
#m. save#join me in my cult of grey characters#every single character is a real person#with feelings and core memories and events#that shape them into who they are#that give them ticks and habits and perpetuate cycles both good and bad#psychology is my wheelhouse and i'll make all my characters human

dating apps are the worst when you're ace you wanna be nice and chat with most anyone who says they're interested in you because you obviously can't judge someone off a single profile pic since the goal isn't for a single hookup but then you have like 17 conversations going at once and you're dying inside because there's too much pressure to perform for what's a majority of straight people who are insinuating their attraction to YOU which is ICK and wow i can't wait to set this behind me and never touch one again
#this is a personal gripe i don't need someone hopping in here saying that i shouldn't generalize#this is me as an alloromantic ace person trying to find some kinda connection and not be perpetually single#but it sucks

life when you are completely alone really is like there is nothing to wake up for and nothing to sleep for
#Sry but the summer depression hitting me rn & im tired of being perpetually alone my whole life#like ppl are always always always like one day u will find someone that makes life worth living ! :-) but ive been hoping and hoping for#20 yrs now. thought itd be different in hs in uni when i got a roommate when i got a job when this happened when that happened and through#it all guess what! not one person i could connect w not one person i could form an actual meaningful realyionship w not one single person in#my life. well whatever. life is worth living anyway im just tired of how boring and horrible it is when youre alone.
