[helluva-shit-show]

I'm not back, but I still keep up with the crit tags because my issue was and will always be with Medrano herself, not the community surrounding Helluva and Hazbin.

That said, I've been seeing a couple of posts talking a little about Alastor and his sexuality or lack there of that have, uh, been giving me "the ick" a little bit.

A little about myself, I am asexual, and for probably a third of my life, I was pretty severely sex-repulsed. Like, "got nauseous in highschool sex-ed and had to go home early" sex-repulsed. Even so, I still enjoyed dressing up in cute shit, I still liked dresses that accentuated my figure, I still enjoyed getting my nails done now and then, or dying my hair, or doing cute makeup once in a while. On the flip side of that, I didn't have the highest self-confidence or self-love in my younger years, and took a lot of comfort and found a strange safe place with horror themed make-up while working at haunted houses during spooky month. I could find comfort in looking conventionally cute sometimes and I could find comfort in looking grotesquely in-human at other times.

And while I don't think Alastor is "great" representation for asexuals, I also don't find him wildly offensive for being a "tumblr sexy-man".

Like...what are you guys trying to imply with those comments? That aces aren't allowed to have attractive appearances? Because again, I love looking good, for myself. I like my image when my hair looks particularly cute today. My self image, how I enjoy dressing up the meat cage that holds my soul, has nothing to do with my sexuality. I also don't really understand the part about him being a sociopathic cannibal being bad ace rep in the context of a show universe full of murders, sex-pests, outright rapists, drug-addicts, thieves, kidnappers, ect. Like. Is Charlie bad lesbian representation solely for being the daughter of Lucifer himself? Is Moxxie bad bi representation solely for being a mercenary for hire?

I'm not saying anyone in either of the shows is "great" or even "good" LGBT+ representation, I just find some of the recent arguments coming up in the crit tags for certain characters being "horrible" representation to be a little bit...ick.

Because there are definitely good arguments for why Alastor is shitty ace representation, one being how he treated Vaggie during his song. I don't give a fuck what sexist time period he crawled out of, an asexual character was not the one you should have written changing someone's outfit against their will and slapping that person's ass without consent. Believe me when I tell you, every asexual person knows how fuckin shitty it feels to be sexualized against their will.

But for simply being designed like a twiggy man who likes suits and has cute tiny deer antlers and fluffy deer ears? Nah. Git that shit outta here. Aces can enjoy a cute fit just like anyone else, it doesn't have anything to do with our sexuality.

[iamfuckingsorry]

So I know the fandom loves seeing young Kim as a punk, with leather jackets and combat boots and a million pins and patches and in general fairly anti-establishment and also somewhat openly gay at least within the community

And I'm not gonna lie I love it too

But there's also this idea that I can't get out of my mind, and it's Kim in what is called "epa-kultur" over here. 15 year old kids too young to have a driver's license or a car, but one of the friends in the group has six older siblings and managed to get one of those cars that are only supposed to go up to 40 kmph that you can drive with a moped license, but that can definitely go up to like 150 if you flip the right switches. It's 30 years old and absolutely shit but you all love it anyway. You drive around, a shitty speaker in the back playing terrible electronic music too loud to really hold a proper conversation while inside, nine kids packed like sardines sitting on each other's laps (one of the backseats is taken up by a speaker), ending up in an unused parking lot to get drunk on 3% beer. The car's broken half of the time but that just means you play bad music and get drunk on cheap beer while trying to fix it with random parts you got from a friend of a friend of a friend, always fucking up in some way no matter how hard you try so the car will inevitably break down again within a week. Until you eventually really do get fairly good at fixing it, and then you just end up checking all the bolts and connections all the time instead. And like it's definitely a small town/rural thing over here. It definitely would not be a thing in Revachol, and especially not in the part of Revachol Kim grew up in, where you're happy to have a roof over your head and food to eat and you're probably reasonably rich compared to your neighbours if your family has a car. And while it's very different nowadays especially with younger kids you could still get a lot of the ideas common in more conservative areas, about gender roles and queer people and whatnot.

And I just love the idea of 15-year-old Kim with a group of other kids like this, feeling a tiny little bit like he finally belongs somewhere for the first time, trying to figure out a way to get some money for a car part for his friend's car, drinking even though he doesn't really want to because that's what you're supposed to, casually making sexist jokes that make him strangely uncomfortable even though he doesn't really understand why, fully convinced the only reason he tries to find any excuse to spend time with this one guy that is so impressive and knows so much about cars is because it's the first time he's found a good friend, because why else would you feel this way about a guy

and then after a couple of years maybe he does bring up possibly feeling a certain way about men when he's a bit drunk and he immediately gets made fun of, and when he doesn't react fast enough and say that obviously he was kidding, eww that would be so gross, he gets called a hundred different slurs without hesitation, not just homophobic ones but racial ones too, and he realizes once again that there really isn't a single place in this world where someone like him could truly belong, no matter how it might feel in the moment.

(and then maybe he does get a leather jacket and some patches a few years after that lol)

Bigots and Bathrooms Part 97

So today I woke up to see someone linking a news article with the bonkers headline Pennsylvania School Covers Surveillance Windows in Gender-Neutral Bathrooms," which aside from bringing up the obvious question of what the hell "surveillance windows" are, got my hackles up because whenever I see anything about gender neutral bathrooms I know some confused bigot who thinks those have something to do with trans people is going to be trying to start something. Here though it was actually a weird variation on this, because rather than a situation like it usually is where confused weirdos think gender neutral bathrooms are some kind of special bathrooms buildings are being forced to set up for trans people because we can't have trans people using normal bathrooms, this actually is a weird case where we ARE in fact, talking about special just-for-trans-people bathrooms and the headline calling them gender neutral is just getting the facts wrong. Which of course makes this way more messed up. Anyway I'm going to ramble about gender neutral bathrooms for a bit, scroll down to the header if you care about the actual contents of the article.

So to once again just try and break down this weird language barrier issue, a gender neutral bathroom is just a regular bathroom. I feel like the vast majority of us have these in our homes. You've got a little room somewhere, and there's a toilet in there, probably a sink, maybe even a bathtub/shower which you'd figure would be more standard if we're gonna call them "bathrooms." If you're really well off, maybe you even have more than one spread around. But the idea is if anyone in your home needs to excrete waste, wash their face, fix makeup, lock the door to a small room and cry, whatever, they can go into these tiny rooms and do that.

Since those are things people often find themselves needing to do quite suddenly while they're away from home, we also make sure to have bathrooms in... all buildings everywhere (ironically without the tubs, generally). Sometimes we even build tiny little buildings that are ALL bathroom, in parks and such, and we even make weird portable little bathroom pods for temporary setup at construction sites. And anywhere that isn't going to have a huge number of people in it, these are usually just normal, or "gender-neutral" bathrooms.

Places big enough to assume they're going to have people in need of bathrooms so often that even placing them in clusters or 2 or 3 isn't going to get the job done though will generally be opt to instead go for this rather industrial public bathroom setup. You make one big long narrow room, you cram as many toilets as you can fit together along one wall, you put sinks along part of the other, and you put these super sketchy partitions up between the toilets with flimsy little doors so you have at least a little privacy while your pants are around your ankles. And if humanity were less messed up in the past, that'd be the end of it. We'd just have these, and these too would just be normal, gender neutral bathrooms.

But we kinda had this weird period in history where people were doing a TON of large-scale urban construction while also being so institutionally sexist that we ended up with all these huge high occupancy buildings being planned out on the assumption that nobody's going to be in them besides cis men, and like... I don't want to generalize or anything, but the subset of cis men who also have this weird thing going on, I don't know if it's part of the whole machismo thing or what, but they REALLY like to pee on the sides of things instead of in a toilet like a normal person. Doesn't really matter what it is. A tree, the side of a building, a field of freshly fallen snow, just out an open doorway into the street if they've had a few drinks. It's frankly freaking gross and a public health hazard, but there were enough of these guys offering up how nah, they totally don't need toilets in this place, if they have to poop they'll just wait until later and if they have to pee they'll just pee on something somewhere and I guess enough people looking to cut any possible corner that they came up with this weird compromise were someone designed these special toilets for special boys where there isn't really a toilet at all, just a slightly indented chunk of wall made from toilet porcelain (or when REALLY cheaping out, a single big wooden trough angled towards a single drain) they can pee all over the side of and have most of it still go down a drain, rationalized because you tend to have to pee more often than poop and all, and hey, you don't need to waste any water flushing it (even if mercifully the compromise did involve hooking fresh water up to a handle to at least briefly rinse the back plane should they bother to flush).

Then when society kinda eased back on the whole rampant segregation thing and acknowledged the rest of us maybe will have to go to the bathroom while we're shopping or working or at a restaurant or whatever, first off I kinda have to assume there were suddenly a lot of horrified complaints about how these public bathrooms have these designated walls-for-gross-dudes-to-just-walk-up-and-pee-on with huge puddles of splashback poolage under them, and definitely because people were still being sexist enough to act like women are too delicate and prone to being "stolen" from their husbands, so we started the whole gendered bathroom thing. Keep most of them as is, and say those are Men's Bathrooms, and take the disgusting walls-you-pee-on out of the rest and say those are Women's Bathrooms. And then you know ideally reclaim that space somehow, and in the future design it out. And of course in a lot of places we build these 50/50 because cis men are what like 47% of the population or something like that?

Anyway, now we have this modern push towards planning new buildings and remodeling old ones around by just not having these weird little Men's and Women's signs on them and just... you know, having all (or at least more normal), or gender neutral bathrooms. Which again, Women's Bathrooms already are. It's just about not having so many gross walls for guys who don't like using toilets, and not creating weird situations where roughly half the people who have to use the bathroom have to crowd into the half of the bathrooms that essentially only have half as many toilets in them because when I say that space got reclaimed I don't mean filled with more toilet stalls, and otherwise just not like, reserving the space arbitrarily. The math is just terrible as it is all over the place.

I cannot stress enough that not one word of any of the above has a damn thing to do with trans people. Like yeah we all go out in public and need to use bathrooms too (trans femmes on HRT in particular are frequently prescribed diuretics making us more frequent visitors), but we are a small enough percentage of the population not to impact the cost analysis of toilets vs. disgusting walls to install. Please leave us out of the conversation.

The article bit about this messed up school on the other hand IS specifically about trans people.

See, what this particular screwed up bigoted school board decided to do a year ago was they "unanimously approved the creation of five different bathrooms." One for cis girls, one for cis boys, one for trans girls, one for trans boys, and one non-public normal just like you'd have in a house or something gender neutral bathroom... presumably because that already existed because school staffs generally don't wanna share bathrooms with the students and I can't blame them. And then they spent $8700 bashing down the walls to the two trans-only bathrooms, with plans to install big glass windows there so everyone in the hall can stand there and watch trans kids go to the bathroom like it's an aquarium exhibit. And someone sensible caught on and freaked out so they are... apparently haphazardly boarding these over now, with plans to actually repair the walls of course not being a thing ever. And this bit's pure speculation on my part but given the standard layouts bathrooms tend to have and these being described as windows, enjoy the particle board where there used to be a nice-ish bank of sinks and mirrors?

That's pretty horrific, take a moment to take it in, then sit back down and let's talk about how this is maybe even more messed up than you realized. From the sound of it, this school only had 4 public bathrooms for students to begin with. Two boy's two girl's. That feels about right for every school I've ever been to. First floor, second floor if it's a two-story building, or like opposite ends if it's single-story. And I'm just gonna go ahead and go out on a limb and guess that the percentage of students at this school who are openly trans is a fair bit less than 50%. I don't have the numbers in front of me, but generally speaking, schools that pass totally screwed up discriminatory policies around trans students tend to have somewhere between like... zero and three trans students on the rolls in total, out of several hundred.

So what we're really saying here is that THE ENTIRE BOARD of this school district as just this completely unmotivated act of pure hate and wanting to send some kind of a message to some boogieman they've imagined after watching fascists demonize trans people so much they completely lost touch with reality, not only decided to just demolish half the bathrooms in this school, forcing the entire student body to go WAY the hell out of their way half the time if they want to use the intact ones, but waste about $9000 of taxpayer money out of a budget that's gotta be a significant percentage of to do it, with maybe one or two trans kids even going to this school for them to point at classic abuser style to shout "look what you made me do!" at, and maybe encourage the rest of the student body to take out their frustrations on.

That would be the South Western School District board of Pennsylvania, headed by one Matthew Gelazela, if anyone happens to live in that area and wants to take the appropriate action to replace, again, literally everyone on this board, with people who aren't going to blow huge piles of your tax money on crap like smashing holes through your kids' schools on a whim.

[inchidentally]

(sorry for editing to keep things out of tags) (also preface that I ship pretty much anyone with anyone but that car lando, land oscar and char los are by far my favorites)

ok first and foremost I have to laugh so hard at them choosing Lando and Oscar?? as "pure PR" when

car|ando is quite LITERALLY used as Formula 1 PR ?? the official accounts of Ferr/ari, Mc|aren, Carlos' personal socials, Quad|rant,LN 4, F1, TV networks, Netflix and DTS,the whole of the Vegas race and every. single. sponsor. use car|ando to boost visibility. that's not a commentary on the validity of their friendship at all but it is quite literally a PR bromance that rakes in views and engagement

let's all be honest here the Mc|aren media folks are still hardcore car|ando people and can only bring themselves to remember the land|oscar ship name once in a blue moon (I have mixed feelings about that but I'm also not a fan of containment breaches so ig I'm relieved one of my ships isn't used as social media corporate currency??)

people's biggest complaint/compliment (depending on who's speaking) for Oscar is that he doesn't play up for cameras the way Carlos and Daniel do and struggles at PR !! literally he was only a little bit better at this in Prema and only because he'd known most of those boys for 5+ years already and their audience was tiny!

every single comment from a non fandom F1 fan on land|oscar content is how unusually shy Lando is around Oscar or how Oscar needs to "come out of his shell" and "not make Lando work so hard"

and Daniel "Mr. F1 PR Department" Ricc|ardo????? are they seriously saying Lando and Oscar (who are still trying to figure out how much they can even casually touch each other) are PR when Daniel and dan|do ticks every single bromance box????

like who the hell but a twitter user who ships rpf like it's a government conspiracy would pick land|oscar out of all Lando ships for a fake or publicity friendship when they literally don't do any of the pretend gay stuff or the horseplay or the memes etc. that is literally the wildest take I've heard in yeARS

anyway as usual I thought creepily deeply into this and decided to spend my time unable to sleep typing an essay weeeeeeeeee

see I was mostly lurking part time during the dando era so I wasn't sure but fr why isn't there this "competition" between dando and carlando like there is with carlando landoscar?? dando was MAJOR gay fandom service by comparison and they've consistently spent more time together outside of racing weekends and hobbies than Lando and Carlos since Carlos has always spent most of his travel and downtime during the season with Isa and now Rebecca. Daniel and Lando go on little excursions together even now and he was with Lando much longer as a teammate than Carlos.

so for people who've left reality to the point of thinking these men are in a genuine secret gay romance competition for Lando… surely Daniel/dando should be the ultimate enemy number one?? especially when evidence immediately surfaced that Carlos' thirst posts on Lando's bday were his side of the thirst posts Rebecca did the same day from their holiday right after the Brazilian GP, whereas Daniel took Lando with him in a small group of close friends to the desert after Vegas. if I were someone who thought that all F1 girlfriends are "PR escorts" - or whatever bullshit is the latest sexist woman-hating theory of choice - then I'd be so mad at Carlos for "ditching" Lando for Rebecca and then Daniel posting not one but two beautiful, moody pics of traveling with him. forget that Lando only reposted Oscar's birthday post, surely Daniel posting on the account he only made because of Lando with a camera he only bought because of Lando pictures OF LANDO is the biggest source of betrayal !!

I just. cannot imagine wanting rpf to be this exhausting and enraging when you can just ship all of them and also not create conspiracy theories about girlfriends that keep getting disproved at every turn.

but yeah as anon #2 said it's not even like carlando are super close friends outside of F1 (as Lando himself said) the way George and Alex are but I don't see anyone in rages about galex or their irl relationships or saying they can't be shipped with any other driver?? maybe I just don't see it on my feeds but it's definitely not as big a deal as the carlando exclusivity stuff that's been bubbling up everywhere.

and exactly! as sweet as it is that Lando and Carlos pair up in the few moments the drivers are all doing media duties etc together it's also what every. other. driver. is doing with their buddies. sometimes they stand in larger groups but those moments are when they get to catch up with guys outside their own team. Oscar and Logan find each other every single time and a lot of that time they spend away from the other drivers. Max and Charles, Yuki and Pierre, Esteban and Lance etc etc. much as I would love it if this implied that all of these driver friends are suckin and fuckin their bros on the DL it's tragically not the case.

I feel like maybe?? carlando as a ship developed into part of the fans going larries level of problematic is because the Lando they watched with Carlos was so young and literally formed a lot of his F1 persona around Carlos. that version of Lando is basically a handy self-insert for fans worshiping Carlos.

as we know Carlos does NOT view himself as the number 2 driver even when he in every technical sense is. so it speaks to just how much of a little uncooked chicken nugget Lando was during their season together that Carlos has never once viewed Lando as competition and even now sees him as a lil cub kind of like Max V does with Lando. they're happy Lando succeeds but he's not classed in with the guys they really get pissed off with or perceive as threatening.

Lando talked here about how he spent a lot of that first season in F1 anxious about his performance compared to Carlos and his own future in F1 and that he largely had to work to put on a smiley face for the cameras. I actually think that entire first half of the clip is a great example of how the carlando chemistry came from Carlos being someone who loves being silly and laughing a lot in his time off the track and how convenient that was for Lando to help hide how much he was going through privately. when the media decided that Lando is meant to be adorable and silly all the time, someone as easy to get along with as Carlos was perfect timing. did nothing for Lando's actual personal struggle behind the scenes but it kept up a solid boundary between Lando and the media. I can't find it now but there's that old interview of Carlos being dismayed at Lando one day being sullen and quiet even when Carlos tried to joke with him - he was half kidding but Lando looked a bit uncomfortable and said "yeah I don't know why I'm like that sometimes". then it just got joked off as Lando being a moody teenager (which Lando visibly didn't really like).

so like, this is what their relationship has always been! Carlos represents a place Lando can go to and not have his demons or his problems follow him. and for someone who has always been used to physical affection, Carlos' lack of boundaries has always been extremely welcome as an endorphins boost.

but let's be honest here that's exactly the same super physically comfortable chemistry Carlos had even with Max and now has with Charles. I know the charlos of it all is probably a whole other hornets nest but fact is that to Carlos, Charles is equally a grown man to him and they can do the whole european buddies jokey flirting thing without it being weird. not the same as with Lando…

I've got to point out that when you look at comments not from fangirls, carlando as a "ship" is seen by F1 fans as big brother and baby brother or even dad and son relationship. this video was recently posted again from the stream where Carlos very firmly shut down people asking him to kiss Lando. whereas he'll jokingly ask Charles for a kiss and call him "darling" while being pretend domestic together. it's pretty damn clear that Carlos will joke about the bromance with Lando to an extent but Lando is The Baby and a little brother. Carlos wants to take care of Lando and he does not view him as a contemporary the way he does with Charles.

and considering Lando still suffers from the same anxieties and getting stuck in his own head, I've said before how I love that hanging with Carlos can still clear those cobwebs away. they can golf or just chat about any old bullshit and Lando can escape whatever is hanging over him for a while.

I truly do not know why people find that very real relationship insufficiently sweet and amazing and think that imagining them to be secret boyfriends is so much better ?? I mean absolutely rpf it the way I do for fun! but how bad does someone's gaydar have to be to think Carlos would have a single clue what to do with a penis that's not his own lfhajhfsa. American fans need to spend some time watching European friend groups and realize the insecure nohomo thing does NOT exist outside the US.

idk how many girlfriends have to get harassed or how far the media will push it before Lando or Carlos actually get sick of the whole ship thing but I think I speak for all rational carlando fans when I say that it's well past time to throw this whole conspiracy theory away. folks need to enjoy their friendship and ship them how you want for fun but don't push this thing to the point of even more discomfort. or worse make them change their behavior to get the focus off of them.

especially when you come to the landoscar of it all and deciding that it's a battle of the rpf ships. we've all seen those delusions in other fandoms result in baffling amount of hate that cross over into real life and how ugly it gets. carlando comments are already pretty out of control on Lando content that doesn't even remotely involve Carlos and it's bleeding onto McLaren content that involves Oscar.

I guess if I really make a few leaps in lofic then I can maaaaybe kind of see ? where that insecurity is coming from with those shippers. I do not understand it but if I had to guess it's possibly that we're seeing a totally different side of Lando than usual since he's been teammates with Oscar. and that for once, Lando's growth isn't dictated or based on his teammate being a big PR personality.

professionally he has said many times he's been pushed by Oscar into his own best F1 season yet. he's also matured a huge amount when it comes to his own failures and we've never heard him be so grown up and balanced as when he talks about how happy he is for Oscar and McLaren that Oscar got the sprint win before he did. that the "hurt" he feels over it is entirely because he is angry at himself for making mistakes. him doing the season farewell video and being able to ruefully joke but be genuinely proud of Oscar is so different from little Lando slumped and barely clapping during Carlos' departing speech or Lando looking out of it and a bit annoyed when Daniel would still try to do jokes after a particularly brutal result. Lando is behaving on his own terms in his own team now. he's The Guy.

Lando's grown UP. we're seeing a very finished article in him. and it's not because he's reacting to who Oscar is it's because Oscar's just letting him be. he's seen Oscar choose not to fake it or play up for the media and realized 'oh! I can be upset or depressed if I feel like it and not dance like a puppet when people want me to be fun and silly!'. he saw Oscar's urgency to prove himself after finally getting a seat and Lando realized that Oscar was just assuming that Lando would default be the superior! he saw Oscar backing away or leaving room for Lando to be the fan favorite and Lando's natural instinct was actually to let himself be quieter and take up only as much space as he wanted to! he's spent the whole season being asked to be an F1 global representative all on his own with no bromance attached and Oscar is there back at the garage or the McLaren motor home smiling and congratulating him like always!

in short, Lando suddenly has room and space to be whatever he chooses and Oscar has been open to any and all of it. they became immediate competition for each other without needing to hastily construct a friendship or bromance to negotiate it. Oscar shrugs off his own disappointments and doesn't gloat or overdo his achievements and oh! isn't it nice that he isn't expecting anything from Lando except respect! Lando doesn't have to navigate anyone else!

that's why I refer to them as sort of I guess a plantonic crush? I did this equally huge and weird post about this here. Oscar has admired Lando for a long time and Lando has absolutely loved having a teammate who doesn't view him as a baby or a kid brother. Lando is so intrigued by how calm and solid and strong Oscar is and Oscar still cannot quite believe Lando is right there in his life and as his teammate. the little cautious dance they're doing is absolutely precious but also because it's so intensely earnest. they both have such big long term plans for themselves and they are so happy to be working on those together that they aren't doing the whole let's find a schtick or do a bromance thing. if it takes them a long time to settle what their relationship is then so what!

and I guess for people who want to think that Carlos and Lando's friendship is 'superior' to every other relationship in their lives (as if Max F will ever be dethroned in Lando's life) it's got to take the already unstable mindset and upset it even more to see Lando personally growing into someone they don't really recognize and at least in some part because of Oscar.

because the carlando shipping that I see from these more extreme people (and I fully acknowledge they're a loud minority) basically eradicates Lando's agency and identity outside of finding Carlos hilarious or hot. they misinterpret Carlos being the authoritative role into Carlos being fully in control of carlando and Lando basically dancing to his tune and reacting to him. they never post the serious, slightly darker side of Lando because it's typically not associated with Carlos. unless it's Lando missing Carlos or upset that Carlos isn't around lol.

so I can only imagine that Oscar's arrival coinciding with a more mature and focused Lando who allows himself to want to be taken seriously and no longer spends all of his on-camera time screeching with laughter or flailing around is ummm not to the taste of those people. Lando still has screeching fits sometimes but he's overall a much calmer person and it's nice to know that when he laughs with Oscar it's always genuine since Oscar has no idea how to play up for laughs. it's probably why Those Fans are now aggressively posting Lando and Carlos doing the driver's parade together (again, among all the other paired off drivers lol) with "ALWAYS TOGETHER" AND "ALWAYS COMING BACK TO EACH OTHER" as if fate is trying to stop carlando from being the only thing that matters. because I guess in their minds, Lando can't just be believed when he says that Carlos is an F1 buddy the way other guys have F1 buddies and Lando can't grow up and have a personal best year without Singapore being solely about carlando and how Carlos took care of him (fuck off???? Lando would've gotten P2 or P3 anyway bc he had an excellent race??) and Lando won't be heard when he says actually Silverstone was his favorite race not Singapore because Carlos Carlos Carlos.

of course Lando can't have found a new kind of friend and teammate in a guy like Oscar who is wholly unlike Carlos in every single way imaginable because that would mean there are parts of Lando that don't suit Carlos and carlando. it would also imply that Oscar is a better teammate for Lando than Carlos was (which is true) and that oh no if Lando is no longer pining for Carlos to be his teammate again (he isn't and he said so) then that means Lando exists outside of carlando and that means they're gonna have to pile extra hard onto proving every single instance where carlando is still one of the most important things in Lando's life (it isn't and that wouldn't be healthy). it would also imply that purely platonic friendship between Carlos and Lando is basically pointless no no they've got to be fucking and in romantic love that's what makes them special not just the fact that they love being in each other's company and have full and happy lives outside each other.

I just.

reaalllly hope it all calms down soon and they leave Oscar out of this mess.

and thank FUCK Oscar's gf Lily has been fully accepted by landoscar fans from the start because the amount of vile hate and petty exclusion Rebecca is receiving makes it honestly a little bit hard for me to be ra ra carlando even just for fun right now.

will it stop me being carlando trash in the tags? no. but my conscience is cringing a bit.

[jellybeanium124]

talking to two goy friends who are like generally cool about i/p but I was talking about how zionist is code for jew and how people use it to openly hate jews and they were like "welllll the evangelicals tho" and "they don't really mean to be antisemitic" and it's like. babes. have you heard of a fucking euphemism. righties have all kinds of euphemisms to cover up the fact that they are racist and sexist. why wouldn't lefties have euphemisms. "death to jews" isn't a politically acceptable statement currently so they have to say "death to zionists" instead. it's so frustrating how even if they are pro two-state solution and anti-hamas they still can't see the full picture. I don't know how to explain it any better. I'm bad at coming up with arguments on the fly. I love em and all but there is no way to explain growing up knowing that we've been expelled from and murdered everywhere before and it can always happen again. there is no way to really fully explain knowing that since you were a young kid. and also knowing that israel is there as the one tiny scrap of land that's our bit. the one tiny little bit where we won't get kicked out because it's our bit. it was taken from us and colonized over and over by outsiders but we finally got our bit back and when the murderers come, whether with swastikas on armbands or hoods on their heads or with bloody hands and watermelons that's where we can go because it's our fucking bit. well. anyways. I should stop talking about this before I hit another goyfriend's threshold of being able to handle a jew being honest and they block me. the whole losing friends wave has slowed down and I'd prefer if it didn't start up again.

Yennaia bits in ep 3.05 (Part 2)

So, after her conversation with Philippa, Yen bumps into Istredd. Istredd tells Yen about some ancient magic book that conveniently allows time travel. Don’t start thinking about how Yen might misuse that after certain ~events later in the season @thegirl20​, just stoppit now

Anyway, Istredd and Triss tell Yen that the book is in Stregobor’s office and somebody needs to get it. Yen agrees.

Meanwhile, Vilgefortz and Geralt are talking and Geralt is seeing several clues that will come into play later. They see Istredd and Yen talking and Vilgefortz ~casually mentions that Tissaia told him that Yen and Istredd used to get up to naughty stuff in Tor Lara as youngsters.

 (Why on earth would he and Tissaia be talking about Yennefer’s teenage love life??)

Yen and Geralt meet and then there’s a dance that Geralt has never heard of, but knows the moves to. During the dance, they hatch a plot to retrieve the important book, by causing a distraction.

Tissaia watches them dance, smiling. 

After the dance, Yennefer goes to speak to Artaud and gets him in on the plan.

Geralt challenges Istredd to a pretend fight to serve as a distraction. Tissaia watches, but does not intervene.

She does appear to shield her girls from it though. Even though she is tiny.

(Either that or she’s getting ready to blast them both into oblivion for spoiling her girl’s party.)

Yen goes to Stregobor’s office, and finds evidence of the missing girls there. Meanwhile Geralt calls for a truce, which is a signal for Artaud to fall into a pile of glasses, delighting Sabrina.

Tissaia and Triss go to comfort Istredd, which I only wanted to show because of how little Tissaia is.

Stregobor comes in and finds Yen snooping and they argue, but everyone else comes in at that point and we have a Scooby Doo-esque unmasking scene where Yen, Triss and Istredd tell everyone that Stregobor is behind everything.

Yen says he tried to kill her.

And Tissaia looks like she wants to incinerate him on the spot.

They get out the time travel book and tell everybody that Stregobor stole it so he can rid the world of elves. He tries to plead his case but Tissaia cuts him off.

This is very gracious of her, considering the last time she wanted him to be punished she basically had to come back to Yen and say ‘Ummm, they’re not going to do anything to him, also they think you’re a traitor and you’re going to have to kill Cahir to prove you’re not’.

He’s taken away to wizard jail protesting his innocence and Tissaia says ominous, fate-tempting things.

She thanks Yen (and Geralt as an afterthought) for saving the evening.

We don’t see what she does with the book, but we can assume that it will definitely fall into the wrong hands at some point. 

Yen notices Chekov’s Tissaia’s bracelet on the floor and picks it up.

Everybody goes back to the party and Tissaia makes a toast to peace, and to Yen and Geralt, but mostly Yen.

Geralt tells Yen he loves her, she doesn’t say it back. (Like Tissaia didn’t say it back to Vilgefortz in ep 2.) And they kiss. Tissaia smiles.

The party ends and Geralt and Yen go back to their room and reminisce about all of the events while in the bath and then while having sex.

In the morning(?) they’re getting dressed and they start to discuss Philippa’s weird warnings, leading them to discuss Lydia, which makes Geralt ask about Tissaia’s bracelet.

Now, I don’t mean to be sexist here, but I have never known a man to glance at a set of earrings and take note of what they were made of. But apparently Geralt did.

They know what it is made of and where it is mined. Conveniently.

Then they discuss a painting Vilgefortz showed Geralt, and Yen says that’s where her dodgy portal took her. Vilgefortz is not subtle. And neither is the writing of this scene.

Suddenly, Phillippa’s warning makes sense.

They spring into action, Geralt picking up his sword and Yennefer chanting over Tissaia’s bracelet.

Yen is doing a location spell to find Tissaia, to make sure she’s safe.

Yen does not take kindly to being told she doesn’t have time to care about Tissaia’s safety. She vehemently tells Geralt that she’s not abandoning Tissaia.

And goes back to trying to find her.

Geralt heads out into the hallway where we hear that something bad is happening.

And that’s the cliffhanger!!

(Apologies if I missed a whole strand of storyline - it was difficult trying to do this in a linear fashion!!)

[pinkrangersarah]

What are your thoughts (if you have any) on the respective love interests the rest of the F7 are shown meeting in the end credits? 🎤 me personally I never really saw the three tin girls we see alongside the triplets as their love interests, I always thought they built them and are therefore (technically) their daughters; mostly because I think it’s a bit boring to pair up the triplets with other triplets idk that’s just me 🤷

okay, so technically i have A LOT of thoughts, which is hilarious considering we don't know anything about these characters; not even their names. i've just been thinking up fan fiction so long that i've basically created entire oc's around them. so i'll give my initial thoughts and then what i've personally come up with!

little red riding hood has never been a super interesting character to me. rather, her initial persona has never been interesting to me. it's a good fairytale on its own, but nothing about red herself had ever stood out to me. all of the different interpretations of her over the years, however, have been really fun. her "once upon a time" interpretation is probably my favorite, and it plays into one of the BEST tropes that has come out for red riding hood over the years--which "red shoes" also does--is red riding hood herself being the wolf.

i think arthur and werewolf red riding hood could be very fun for various reasons. werewolves are monsters, something merlin states in the beginning that the fearless 7 are called to deal with regularly. arthur also puts a lot of value and his self-worth into his physical strength, and as a werewolf red riding hood would no doubt be much stronger than him. these are prejudices arthur would have to climb over (i don't see arthur as sexist, but he cares so much about being strong that a tiny girl like red being five times stronger than him would no doubt bug him), allowing him to grow as a person and love red riding hood for who she is.

ugh. to be honest, this is my least favorite. it really feels like they just didn't know what to do for jack; i can't seem to find the JPEG anymore, but if what i found was genuine concept art then they were originally just going to make a merman that looks... just like jack? thank GOD somebody said that was a stupid idea (again, if that was real concept art), so then we ended up with this. YES, i know the moral, but i just... don't really see what they were going for with this.

admittedly, i did make up an oc for jack, whom i will eventually put out more art for (because i do genuinely want to write something), and i did keep the water theme. i liked the idea of arthur having to overcome a major prejudice so much that i came up with the same concept for jack by making up a sea witch companion for him.

this is no doubt sleeping beauty, and honestly it is probably the funniest one out of them all. true loves kiss who? no, just make some damn good food and sleeping beauty will come running. making female characters (especially princesses) messy eaters with lousy table manners is absolutely nothing new, and i'm certain someone somewhere has paired them up with a foodie with exceptional cooking skills before, but it's still an endearing duo and a very fitting choice for hans. he doesn't strike me as particularly picky, he and the triplets honestly seem the less vain out of the seven; he just wants to cook and bake for someone he loves. it's very sweet, and i like sleeping beauty's design here.

i also agree with you that these automatons are not meant to be girlfriends. hell, the triplets seem content in their dwarf forms. i think the automatons are just assistants that happen to look female. to be honest, i think it'd be hilarious if somebody, maybe arthur, joked that they couldn't find anybody they each clicked with so they just made companions, and the triplets just go "what, no, we needed help in the workshop since you're too afraid of little oil and grime."

[bellysoupset]

i don’t want, i NEED more stress puking Lucas

Hell YEAH. Here's more of the local idiot being sick over his own horrible decision making.

---------

Luke was pretty sure his apartment had never looked more pristine than now. In his stress cleaning phase he had taken to the grout with a toothbrush, so even the joints between the tiles in the bathroom were all stark white... and he hated it.

He hated the house being this neat so much that he had started considering just dumping a can of soup in the kitchen floor, just to have something to do.

In truth he had plenty of what to do. Despite finally catching up in all the uni work he had let pile up and the actual elections work that he had set aside, he still could just go hang out with his friends. Surely they'd like him to join, Vince had already sent him at least fifty texts asking how his weekend was coming along, Leo too, even Jonah had sent him a quick "are you alive?"

He didn't feel like interacting with people though. During the games he didn't have a choice and during the class days he did his best to keep an upbeat attitude, but the truth was that his heart was in little tiny pieces and he wasn't sleeping well - the clean kitchen being the direct result of his lack of sleep.

The bedroom was an issue on itself, after nearly four whole years where they shared a bed pretty much every night, safe a few weeks a year, it was awful to have all the space to himself. Not only it was awful, he didn't want it.

He didn't want the big bed to himself, he didn't want the clean kitchen without Bella's horrible cooking sticking to pans, he didn't want the bathroom sink without makeup stains, he certainly didn't want to not have his girlfriend.

Right now he was sitting in the middle of the kitchen, staring at the open cabinet and seriously considering the previous idea of the soup.

There was a ring on his doorbell and he frowned. Everyone who knew the code to his building also knew where he kept the key, so it was very weird that someone had let themselves in the building, but not the house.

"Vince?" Lucas got up with a groan, "I told you I'm fine, I'm not about to start drinking bleach-" he pulled the door open and then frowned. It wasn't Vince, in fact it wasn't anyone he knew.

Well, actually the blonde girl he knew. Barbara, from the cheer team? She had big blue eyes and long, waist length blonde hair. Right next to her there was a brunette, with chin length very curly hair, eyes outlined with glittery eyeshadow. Both of them were carrying bags.

"Uhm- Wrong house...?"

"Hi captain," Barbara (?) piped up, opening an amicable smile. The brunette didn't smile.

"You're Luke, rigth?"

"Yeah... You are?" he wasn't liking this one bit. He was certain that Vince wouldn't send him girls, not only because that was sexist as fuck, but also insanely offensive. Maybe fucking Mikey? Or someone else on the team.

"I'm Meg, this is Barbie. Bella sent us."

Suddenly he wished they were strippers. This couldn't be good.

"Bella sent you? What for?" Lucas squeezed the doorhandle, looking past their shoulders, "is she downstairs?"

"No," Meg shook her head, "we're friends of her-"

"No, you're not, I never met you-"

"She wants her stuff back," Meg concluded, ignoring him.

Luke felt sick. Actually fucking nauseous. He had been clinging to the fact that most of Bella's clothes and a house items were scattered around his place, in an unspoken promise she'd be back at least to collect them, if not be back for good.

"No offense, but none of you are touching my girlfriend's stuff," he glared at them, "I don't know you."

"I'm Barbie, from the cheer team?" Barbie said sweetly, which only caused him to glare at her.

"I'm sorry, but unless Bella calls me herself, I'm not letting anyone near her stuff."

Meg raised a judgmental eyebrow, arms crossed, "why don't you call her yourself, captain?"

"I would," he scoffed, deciding he liked Meg even less, "but she won't pick up my calls."

"I wonder why," Barbie mumbled under her breath, taking her phone out of the her purse and clicking on Bells' contact. After a long minute of ringing, Luke frowned even more as he heard her voice through the phone.

"Hello? Barbs, everyth-"

"Bella?" Luke leaped for the phone, only for the cheerleader to jump out of his way.

"Lucas?"

"Hi, Bella!" Barbie said brightly, "we're here at Luke's house, to collect your stuff. Can you just tell him that you asked us to?"

There was a split second pause and Lucas felt his hands start to sweat. He was truly feeling unwell, "Bell, don't-"

"Barbie and Meg are there to pick up my stuff because I asked them to," Bella's voice came through strangled, but strong, "so don't be a dick and help them get everything, please?"

"Bella, can't we talk this over?" he tried, once more to argue, "please? I don't want you to move out, I don't want us to break up, please just-"

"Don't be a dick, Lucas," Bella scoffed, "give them my stuff, bye," and then hung up. He swallowed in the sudden knot in his throat.

"So..." Barbie looked sheepish, while Meg step forward.

"Can you tell us where her stuff is?"

"I... Yeah, come in..." Lucas mumbled, heart hammering in his chest. He felt like he couldn't breathe, "I didn't- I didn't separate anything, it's all where it was, uh..." he guided them to the bedroom and then sat down at the edge of the bed, forcing a deep breath, "there, in the closet. "

"Which drawers are hers?" Meg asked and Luke shrugged.

"Everything," he groaned, eyes burning, "we didn't split our sides, it's all- I need air."

He bolted out of the room, outside of the living room and into the balcony area, clutching his chest. It was truly, fucking over. Bella was removing the little pieces of her from his life, he had lost her for real.

Lucas couldn't get his hands to stop shaking or his heart to quit hammering away, mouth dry and stomach churning. Instead all he managed was to stuff his hands on the pocket of his hoodie and take deep, steadying breaths, so he could at least pretend he wasn't about to keel over with the realization he had monumentally fucked up.

Back in his room, Meg and Barbie were quick and had sorted through most of the clothes, putting anything that looked too small for him or vaguely feminine on a pile on the bed as Bella's. He glanced at it, noticed they had added one or two of his shirts by accident, but decided not to comment.

"These are all hers?" Barbie asked timidly from the bathroom and he entered too, glancing at the assortment of jars, makeup pallets and tubes.

"Yeah-" Luke glanced heard Meg move something in the bedroom and then got back, "no, put that down, that's mine."

Meg clearly didn't like him just as much as he disliked her. She glanced at the framed picture of Bella, hair on fire twirling around her in the middle of a windy day.

"Meg," Barbie said sweetly from the door, "leave it. She wouldn't mind."

"Fuck- Are you two done?" He knew he sounded harsh, but he didn't care, "what else do you want?"

"She said something about some vinyls?"

Fuck. Lucas swallowed in the bitter saliva pooling in his mouth and guided them to the living room, "under the TV," he mumbled, watching as they grabbed all the vinyls and packed them away too. He vividly remembered the large majority of them. Remembered when she brought them over, which ones she had forced him to slow dance to, the ones they had head banged to because they were heavy metal, the ones they had gone to the band's concert's...

She had brought music to his life after years and years of no music and now they were taking it all away.

"Sorry, captain," Barbie mumbled as she zipped up the bag, "sorry. C'mon, Meg, let's go..."

The bags were almost too heavy for them and he didn't care. Lucas shut the door behind them and leaned on it, letting out one sob and then another and then he rushed to the kitchen and bent over the sink, bringing up a mouthful of his breakfast, alongside another sob.

His stomach ached fiercely, it was like he could feel his heart down there, churning and burning. He coughed again, struggling to breathe.

There was no way he was getting her back after this.

When the Russian Mafia Learned Not to Mess With Artemis Fowl II

I've been an Artemis Fowl girl (not the movie) for a long time, and while I think the first book in the series is literally a perfect first book, it's not my favorite in the series. That honor goes to book two, Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident. And I think that the key points that really make this my favorite book are the shift from brilliantly executed archetypes to genuine characters, the fact that a 12-year-old absolutely OWNS the mafia, and the expansion of the worldbuilding in Haven and the Lower Elements generally. Oh also, this is where we get Opal Koboi for the first time. *Screes in best villainess ever* Let's Talk Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident.

There will be light spoilers below the break, as is pretty standard for all books second and later on this blog, so be warned.

First of all, in the first Artemis Fowl book, the characters are--with the exception of Artemis and Holly--largely archetypal. That falls apart here, because the story isn't trying to be a fairy tale or a heist so much as it is Opal Koboi and Briar Cudegon trying to start a war that Artemis has to stop in order to get fairy help to rescue his father from captivity by the Russian Mafia. Book 1 Butler is your standard bodyguard with a heart of gold, Commander Root is a standard grouchy police chief, and Trouble Kelp is basically ye olde marine. Briar Cudgeon is power hungry, and that's about it.

By book 2, Bulter is getting more personality and a low-key understanding with Holly and Root because they're all "old soldiers" in his book. Root gets to actually have some personality and is a damn good field commander--can we just take a sec to appreciate how much he cares (gruffness notwithstanding) about Holly and the fact that he super did not care that the sealed acorn was blasphemy because it worked!? He becomes more than just a hardass vaguely sexist archetype, and I have SUCH a soft spot for Julius Root. We also get some more of Trouble and Grub Kelp. Briar Cudgeon stays pretty simple, but that's fine because we have Opal goddamn Koboi for a more complex and also very classical villainess--she is LOVING being evil and frankly she is never not a joy to watch. Opal knows how to lean in to sheer joyous villainy.

I'm also just a fan of Artemis actually running into the real world with his planning. Our boy can absolutely sketch out an on-paper plan that is brilliant, but then you get things like gaps in train tracks, fairy politics, dwarf reflexology, and humans reacting in weirdass ways and suddenly Artemis has to get his hands a bit dirty and he has to improvise. Our boy grows and STILL hands the Russian Mafia its collective ass on a radioactive submarine hatch. Artemis Fowl's character growth in this book is great.

Book 1 was very limited to Fowl Manor and its grounds. We got a bit of Haven and the Lower Elements in book 1, but book 2 is mostly in the Lower Elements and Russia, and the expansion of what Haven is like, what shuttleports are like, what Koboi Labs is like, what Howler's Peak is like, is incredible. We get more fairy lore, fairy life, and more LEP. This keeps expanding in later books, but this is our first really close look at the world beyond what was strictly necessary for the kidnapping and rescue plot of the first book, and that's very fun.

I know I've already mentioned Opal Koboi and her gleefully unhinged joy at her seemingly imminent rise to Empress, but honestly I love her to little tiny peices. She is too samrt for her own good, she girlbossed her own father into literally insanity, and her college-era feud with Foaly is just peak "the smartest kids in class have extremely different skillsets and they hate each other for it". Opal starts off very evil kitten, but kitty has claws and she's just waiting for a chance to unsheath them.

The Artemis Fowl series is improbably good, and I cannot recommend it enough. Especially this fozen, slightly radioactive entry in the series that is very much my favorite book.

[positive-radfem-confessions]

Omg just have to chime in and second the point made by the anon saying lesbian sexuality made them feel better about themselves. I also know like, yeah, def Not The Point, but my god, I have had the exact same experience. When I was younger, I knew shaving was sexist but I still privately felt disgusted when even a bit of stubble grew in on me and could not bear the thought of seeing it in full. I cried real tears over my post-pubescent vulva because the hair wasn't a tiny neat triangle (and I'm a woc and I was horrified it wasn't pearly pink -- I remember thinking "oh my god, it looks *dead*.") And that disgust is gone. It's GONE. Body hair, fat (especially fat in those ever-so-female "problem areas"), muscles -- I just see the beauty and strength and wonder in it now. And it's not just that I saw people attracted to bodies like mine -- this didn't "fix me" because I had a new way of seeing myself as fuckable. It's like it rewired my brain. It's not perfect, I have bad days, but there's this bedrock now of understanding my body as me in a totally new way. There are no problem areas, there's just me. With the weather getting warmer, I'm like ... kind of overwhelmed by the beauty of women, everywhere. But it's not fuckability, it's the beauty and wonder of life and nature and vitality and how much we can give each other and how grateful I feel to see this at last. For any other overwhelmed straight women feeling this, I highly recommend buying classic lesbian feminist books used and putting them in little free libraries. c:

New Pinned Post Because...

I made a Carrd! Now it's a little tiny bit easier to keep everything together. It can be found by clicking these words here!

As always... ♡I'm Isabella (Isa) or Lillia (Lily), ♡And I'm an autistic, ADHD, C-PTSD, BPD age regressor who is also a questioning system. ♡My pronouns are glim/glimmer and they/them. ♡I'm a selfshipper, too! Please gush about your F/Os in my inbox! ♡My icon was made with this Picrew and using these flags! ♡I'm a huge fan of Blue's Clues and Bubble Guppies.

I'm also totally open to becoming sibbies, best friends, or even crayon pals. I need more friends, it's very lonely being a lone baby these days.

And my DNI is under the cut!

This is a very bare-bones version intended for people skimming my DNI to make sure they aren't breaking the rules. For elaboration, go to the DNI section of my Carrd. I know some of these are vague. And remember- just because I ask you not to interact, that doesn't mean I'm equating you to everyone else on this list.

Finally got home again. Left last Monday. Some random notes, in no particular order.

It's a long-ass drive. 18 hours according to Google Maps, but realistically at least a couple of hours more before you even count breaks.

The worst pedestrian-hostile "stroad" I've ever seen is in Erie PA. Very convenient if you're passing through or (I suppose) trying to buy something, but I think I'd hate to live there. I meant to go for a run that morning, because I don't have Pennsylvania on my list yet, but I just couldn't find a route that didn't make me want to quit running so I slept in an extra half hour.

My wife's snoring has to be heard to be believed. I see all this jokes about snoring husbands, but they strike me as a bit sexist TBH. Earplugs - and I have good ones - aren't enough. The first two nights I slept on awful sofabeds to at least get a bit of distance. The other nights I just slept poorly.

My daughter's dorm-room situation seems much better too. It's bigger, with a very nice lake view, vs. a tiny room with a view of a trash-strewn rooftop at Union. Her room-mate (trans-fem) seems cool too, and I suspect she'll make friends more easily on that thematic hall than she would elsewhere. That addresses one of our biggest worries. The dining hall (in the next dorm) also seems like a bit of an upgrade. It is a bit far from some of the academic buildings she'll be visiting, though (psych building in particular is at the other end of a big campus), so we'll see how that works out in the dead of winter.

The greater campus and city also seems like a big upgrade from Union/Schenectady. Nothing against either, but AFAICT Madison deserves its reputation as one of the best college towns. BTW I'm saying that as someone who attended UMich and lived in Ann Arbor for almost a decade. I feel like a traitor.

Illinois drivers are still the worst. We went through seven states on this trip, including Massachusetts and New York which each have their own bad reputations, and I've driven in plenty of others. Everyone thinks their drivers are the worst, but in Illinois they're right (as far as the US is concerned anyway).

Jamestown NY, and the general Lake Chautauqua area, seems like a real under-appreciated gem. There are many natural attractions, the National Comedy Center, Southern Tier Brewing Company (the whole reason I first went there back in May), and so much more. I was delighted when my wife said, "It's so nice here, can we extend our stay another day?" Seriously, it's looking-at-rental-prices good.

Here's a picture from Paradise Rocks, which is a fantastic little park near Lake Chautauqua. Even my friend who grew up nearby hadn't heard of it, but the narrow passage in the picture is one of many throughout the place and they're massive fun to explore. We spent two and a half hours on a barely one-mile circuit.

And here's something I hardly ever do - a picture of my lovely daughter, happy to be at her new home for the next eight or nine months. Her outfit got so many positive comments, especially (and surprisingly) from older people.

Sam also probably used to be at least a little sexist

Oof, yea a tiny bit
