#am i overreacting?? maybe!!

[oatm3al-c00kies]

everyone shut up i need to tell suzanne collins directly that the only part of 'the ballad of songbirds and snakes' that got an actual extended period of laughter in my theatre was the "tuberculosis on legs" joke, a joke made at the expense of a young, suffering, dying, sick tribute as she's about to accidentally ingest poison and kill herself because she's so thirsty and sees water and thinks it will make her feel better. this girl who's so sick because of the living conditions in her district, who was doomed as soon as her name was called, who was probably just so relieved to see an un-smashed bottle of water she didn't think anything of it, too exhausted and dehydrated to think anything of it.

a joke made by the capitol host of the hunger games to try and make capitol citizens laugh and make the horrific things happening in the arena better tv because they already don't see the tributes as people who have lives and who matter and maybe we're so close to her dystopia that we can actually fucking taste it

another note on the premise of dot and bubble being a bait and switch: the black mirror episode nosedive (one of my favorite tv stories ever) has a protagonist named lacey pound, who is a young white woman with bangs. dot and bubble features lindy pepper, who is also a young white woman with bangs. both episodes include pastel colored and highly stylized clothing and environments. nosedive constructs a powerful satirical critique of influencer culture and social media; but in dot and bubble’s case, the criticism is a shallow and gimmicky imitation.

the point of dot and bubble is for you to expect a nosedive and a lacey pound—but instead you get an actual fucking white supremacist. and that is what the episode is really trying to say. whether you’re a person of color or not, whether you had any suspicion about the lack of poc in the utopia or the way lindy treated the doctor and ruby, you are forced by that ending to reckon with the complete dissolution of the story you expected to experience. and i am white! so i don’t want to assume the experiences of people of color. but i do have to wonder if that dissolution is even just a fraction of the betrayal so many people of color could have felt, how ncuti gatwa could have felt, how freema agyeman could have felt, when the fandom suddenly decided that their stories weren’t worth their respect or attention.

Today's fic snippet is from the QuinFox Rebellion AU again. It's a good palette cleanser to work on when I need something lighter <3

Luke is rambling on, some story about a time he got jumped back on Tatooine. "…and then Mr. Glory told me to run home so he could close up the bar, but I knew he was really gonna go throw the body in the Sarlaac pit—that's what you do, you know. I offered to help, but he was an old soldier from the wars and said he could do it himself. I think he was friends with Ben?" Fox's head whips up from where he'd been dozing against Quin's shoulder, the Jedi tensing slightly in response. "Mr. Glory?" "Yeah!" Luke replies, sunshiny as ever. "Weird name, but half the names on Tatooine are fake and a lot weirder. He actually looked kinda like you, General Fox. But he had a nasty scar around his eye—shrapnel, I guess—and a weird mustache—" That motherfucker—

[unoriginal-and-dumb]

I’m nawt gonna lie gang, with the day I’ve had today I realized I should stand up for myself against stuff that’s making me upset because I’ve had enough of not being joyous so im addressing it

I said before that I don’t mind if people draw inspiration from my infected design, but there has been a lot of times (so many today of all days of course) where it really is just my design and yes I am flattered but please, please credit me

I came up with the design as a whole on my own, based entirely on “oh that would be kinda cool” in my head, and when I first started drawing it I didn’t really see anyone else drawing rlly anything similar to my design at all so I mean.. I dunno man I kinda would like credit maybe please

adding on to part of the reason why im doin this cuz now im seeing other people given credits and it’s like hm ok 😮😕

It’s been happening for nearly every single fandom I’ve been in now and it’s like errr ok…

I was rewatching the first two episodes of the chuunin exam arc and you know when naruto and sasuke are pissed bc they're embarrassed about what happened between them in the land of waves? after that scene naruto starts thinking about how he must beat sasuke and prove how cool and strong he is, and I'm not saying that it's what has actually happened (especially because there's a time-gap between the two moments as they were waiting for kakashi) and I know I'm biased but it kind of looked like he was actually deflecting? in the sense that he's too young to delve into his feelings and question why he feels embarrassed, and instead of doing that he pushes aside his emotions and gets back to what he's used to (seeing sasuke as a rival) or turns the discomfort he feels into bitterness/rivalry...

(he's never beating the repressed allegations 😭)

[silly-lil-scribbles]

geesussss can my brain chill out maybe like at this point people arent even doing anything im pretty sure its just pretending something is off so i can start panicking about if someone hates me and im not enough and they will leave and i am the worst person ever because of this. why. dude. please. nothing happened. why do you even do this. and worse why the fuck do i still believe you every time no matter what

[winryrockbellwannabe]

this guy is honestly making me question too much shit

bc there's no way in hell is just that nice, right?

at this point either: 1. he's being this nice and kind bc he has a crush on me, 2. he's honestly that nice, which will make me have a crush on him, bc omg. he's just the nicest person ever

If you know me, I'm not trans. For my safety, I'm not trans. Nor have I ever been. I feel so unsafe in my own country for being a disabled (not) trans hispanic person. I'm going to keep living but I do not hold any respect for my country.

I finally finished watching Tower of god (the first season) and I was expecting that I would hate Rachel despite what people were saying about her. I mean like she was in the list of the most hated characters in anime but I don't really see it? Why? Because she pushed Bam ? Not gonna lie that scene gave me goosebumps.

I mean like I get it she betrayed him and she was even lying to him but I was expecting something way more. Like example laugh to his face or I don't know stab him perhaps but she didn't. People be really putting her in the same place as Bitch from The Rising of the Shield hero. The disrespect...I think Rachel is simply great villain to the story

his politics is so fucking surface level and we all fucking knew this but still… the real celebs are the ones questioning and calling out genocide enablers like joe biden… not happily shaking hands with him despite everything that’s going on.
