swear to god if I read another motherfucking fic where these vampires pause to get the lube I am going to have a fucking mental breakdown and chew holes in the walls. i have had it up to here. this is an intervention. this is a come-to-jesus moment. what are you doing. are you thinking about your choices. why are you making them have sex like they're humans instead of weird fucked-up vampire sex. look into my eyes. can you please consider your worldbuilding choices and make ones that are less excruciatingly boring. look at me. you're being the softest beigest pillow if you make them use human lube. i'm serious. i will die on this hill.

fight me in the comments if you disagree or you feel huffy about this, i don't care. come at me, bro, i own the night.

Idk who needs to hear this but an N95 is not sufficient PPE for the particulate matter produced by a large chemical plant burning down in one's immediate vicinity & it's irresponsible to suggest folks simply "mask up" in their preexisting covid PPE to protect themselves w/out any additional caveats. To my knowledge nothing short of those respirators w the face shields & P100 cartridges will cut it in the face of chlorine gas like we're seeing in ATL rn — I understand most folks in harms way won't have those things on hand may wear their N95s anyway in hopes that "something is better than nothing" but I think those ppl deserve to know that chlorine gas WILL 100% pass directly through an N95 (or equivalent) & they are not "safer" wearing one, period. It's true an N95 may aid in filtering other unknown particulates during a chemical fire however conflating that potential protection w protection from chlorine gas specifically is, again, irresponsible public health messaging. That being said even w a proper respirator protecting your eyes & airways u can still be exposed through your skin!!!! Staying indoors w windows closed & ventilation systems OFF is the only real protection for those in harms way rn & I hope that info is getting thru to those who need it. There is no cure for chlorine exposure. Do not rely on your N95.

I feel like I should say since there's been a recent uptick in a lot of communities I'm in/see stuff from a lot of white people pretending to be Asian, but you are not welcome here if you are in anyway stealing from Asian cultures for clout or the aesthetics of it

This includes if you're white and you give your self inserts Asian names, I truly do not care if your f/o is from an anime, you should not be using an Asian name under any circumstances. I hate that whenever I see someone using an Asian name online, I feel like I have to start searching their account to see if they're actually Asian or just a white person who likes the aesthetic of it bcs far too many white people will use Asian names here just bcs it sounds cool, with no regard for the actual cultural meaning behind it. Meanwhile actual Asian people will be mocked for their names, or treated like their names are too hard to learn to pronounce, or discriminated against based on their names

Asian cultures are not a fun little costume for people to dress up with. They aren't just a nice aesthetic, they aren't just a thing you can borrow from bcs you think it sounds cool

Nya has the best writing out of anyone in skybound an I will not hear otherwise

(this is just a rant but I will finish my argument with evidence soon but I was feeling like yelling at phone)

Just watched a video completely butchering her character.

I’m fuming about Nya’s treatment in general like RRRRR SHE IS LIKE THE BEST WRITTEN. Most people I see talk about her never tried to see Nya’s motivation.

And because she’s grumpy and won’t take bullshit treatment. And a large part of the audience Treat her like she’s a brat for it like…

Her ark against all odds is great. The only reason so many people don’t get that is ALL because of the awful framing and them focusing on Jay at all the wrong times I PROMISE YOU.

The audience is made to focus on Jay’s feelings in moments that should’ve been about her.

Nya always thought she would end up with Jay like she said later on. She always loved him She wasn’t trying to hurt or play with his feelings but she had bigger problems, and she simply didn’t want to be dating him. Because she hated how that would make her be perceived. Which was the issues that she overcame by the end.

She is frustrated by way she’s perceived by the city. They only see her as her gender. A self insert of sorts. (There’s a scene about it first ep subtle but boils my blood) Not a person. She HATES IT.

BRRRR

Nya has A lot more going on like it was never her Job to walk on eggshells around Jays feelings. She was having a lot harder of a time that first episode but more screen time was dedicated to Jays moping about her.

Just AAA ggghg

LIKE EVERYONE REWATCH SKYBOUND AND FOCUS ON NYA Specifically. Ignore how much the narrative drags you to look at Jay. I swear Nya’s struggle is shockingly the most well written bit

the scene of sam single-handedly playing corrupt lawyer for dean and absolving him of everything wrong he did was CRAZY the man legit gaslighted everyone in the room including himself

As much as Phoenix using Maya/Mia to get information out of Victor Kudo during Recipe for Turnabout makes me uncomfortable because he basically blindsided her with a situation in which her being ogled was literally the whole point (even if he didn't foresee it not working and Maya deciding to channel her sister as a result), I can't help but be fascinated by Mia's whole behavior in that scene and how it reminds me of Dahlia. The fact that they both hide that they'd really rather not be there with a polite smile and take full advantage of their femininity to nullify the potential threat of men and get what they want from them? It can't be a coincidence—it's gotta be a deliberate parallel on the part of the writers because there's simply no way they weren't highlighting that Mia and Dahlia can't wash away the similarity of their mannerisms despite the fact they're mortal (immortal?) enemies. There's no way they weren't using this to slyly foreshadow the fact that they're related do you guys SEE MY VISION

see my brain just doesn’t register the idea of anyone having a ‘one true love’ which is why the common fandom tropes of making canonical love interests terrible in order to justify why your ship is better always bugs the shit out of me. it feels like the only reason you would do that is if the idea of the characters in your ship having any other sort of romantic relationship that was important to them, even in the past, is a threat to their current one, therefore all their past relationships need to be demonized in order to make them ‘not real love’ so that they remain pure and chaste and ready for the True Love of the endgame ship.

Today in Things I've Learned In Anthropology Class That Make Me Want To Strangle Dead Anthropologists: Franz Boas was an actual grave robber. No, really. He admitted it. He once wrote "It is most unpleasant work to steal bones from a grave, but what is the use, someone has to do it." I cannot emphasize enough that no one had to do it. There was no good reason to do it. He just did because he was a racist asshole who valued his own curiosity and career advancement over human decency. I vengefully would like someone to steal his bones and see how he likes it.

its still batshit insane to me how winter was made out to be super irrational and cruel to the point he is deserving of being sent back to his abusive family that tried to systemically murder him as part of a throwaway “lmao fuck that guy!” joke because. he was rightfully pissed off that darkstalker mind controlled him. and he lashed out at moon because she was like “i mean, he meant well!”

all for the sake of love triangle bullshit. my wof url at one point was of those three fuckers in a polycule ship name and thats probably one of the most poorly aged things because i think everyone shouldve gone to hell for how they treated winter in that book
