If people really think Nephelle would gatekeep her philosophy from Valkyries, women who fought to empower themselves, then congrats on missing the point of everything ever

"trans people are just gays who transition because they want to 'become straight'" cool opinion, in my actual lived experience it has been harder to be straight and trans than it was to be cisgender and gay, but go off ig

Sorry. I always roll my eyes when people claim Persephone was fucking underage.

joker out balkan kpop men anon: it is 100% affectionate (former kpop fan!). here is a very long explanation. sorry for the essay outline and i hope it kinda makes sense:

- image - it reminds me a little of some of the older kpop boy groups that are established enough that they can have visible tattoos, drink on camera, etc without some kind of fuss. it’s the kind of public image that’s fun and thoughtful and also youthful without being cutesy or squeaky clean. yknow? but also the close relationships within the group that the fans know of and have their own relationships with (a thought for another day but:)

- the closeness to fans (this might just be bc i’m used to bands who don’t interact on social media lol. to a degree i’m thinking specifically about a new group zb1, where the members would reply to fans comments on a specific platform, and fan memes on twitter have percolated into group videos- maybe this specific group is apples vs pineapples but idk! when people talk about nace online and they sound quite a bit like how people talked about baekho from nuest, just time adjusted, it gets that pattern recognition)

- fandom behavior (for better and for worse, although this might just be on account of JO fans on social media generally skewing younger and in spaces where some share what other music they listen to, there’s quite a bit of kpop) - in a sense, the way JO fans sound on twitter uses almost the exact same tones as kpop boy group fans. but even if you adjust (favorites of the girls and gays!) hockey fans, bird and bug people, plant people - in most cases, they don’t use the same language unless they’re also kpop fans.

anyways i hope this isn’t too much of a bother to read and that you have a lovely day. heart hands @ u

thank u for returning with your analysis and enlightening me on the kpop lore, i'm taking notes! i'm not on twitter and i barely touch tiktok so i don't tend to see what the JO fandom is like outside of tumblr (though sometimes one of you comes back with the most ominously vague complaint about what it's like over there...)

and yeah i agree with your other ask:

i think woobifying grown men is just gonna happen in fandom spaces lol, it can be funny as long as it's to a reasonable degree

🫶🫶🫶 back at you!!

i feel like a lot of Sync’s issues make sense if you know that being military Chief of Staff means he essentially works HR for the Oracle Knights

[rips hair out] thinking how miles chose to pursue physics solely because he wants to find a way to see his spidey friends (peter b and gwen) only to find out they couldve visited him the entire time and they didnt

[bangs head to the wall] thinking how miles discovered there's a whole gang of spiderpeople and then he finds out that he's "not supposed to be a part of this" and finds out later why and gets hunted down by hundreds of spiderpeople for it

[screaming] thinking how miles descending further and further into a panic attack and sees all the past events that had happened and "you're a mistake! if you hadnt been bit, peter parker would've lived!" rings loud and clear in his head when all he wanted to do was make sure his dad is safe

[punches wall] because miles morales didnt deserve any of the bullshit thrown at him throughout the last half of atsv and everyone in spider-society (except the real ones, hobie and margo) should fucking sit in the corner of shame and realize that they've forgotten the core essence of who spiderman is; to keep going even when the entire world is against you. even when everything seemed impossible.

miles morales proved himself that he IS spiderman. even when everyone (spider-society) is against him, he keeps going.

[slides down to the floor in tears] and then before miles manages to get himself together he then gets stranded into a universe where the one thing he feared would happen turn out to be a reality in that universe and-

anyway miles morales is the goddamn goat and i will stand by that forever and always

with death note, one of the genuine attempts at criticism i don’t understand is: “Light shouldn’t have killed Lind L Tailor.” (or that he should’ve been more wary, etc.) ... i understand that you wouldn’t have done it, sure, most people probably would’ve at least waited! taking care to remember tailor’s name until the broadcast definitively ended - where tailor would (presumably) not be noticed as having died at all/in his sleep/etc.

but. light sees this outcry right after he gets the ego boost from the supporters online who have recognized that there is indeed some force ‘delivering righteous punishment’ - light never, from the start, intended to hide his power because he wants people to trace it back to someone who “truly understands what’s right and wrong” ... he openly taunts ryuzaki with the whole - “yes, so what if i can change the times of deaths or how someone acts before they die?” in confirming his suspicions and trying to urge out that feeling of hopelessness. ryuzaki states from the start that kira is childishly arrogant and hates to lose (especially where he feels as if he’s justified)

and, just from a writer’s perspective - how else are you meant to push the plot forward if the primary antagonist, L, has nothing to work with?

[wickedlittlewordsmith]

I just saw a post where there was a really dumb argument that sex is what makes us human (don’t worry, op destroyed that shit), and I’m absolutely fucking losing it bc I know that that’s an argument people use. If that were the case, there are a lot of things that are human that we know aren’t

And I just gotta say, as someone who literally wrote a paper on what it means to be human and how it’s basically undefinable, sex is nowhere near what’d be considered a defining human trait. Not only should that be common sense, but there’s no research within the last 20 years where anyone argues that and backs it up with evidence

hey!! i just wanted to pass by ur inbox to let you know how much i enjoy ur writings!! i reblog them once in a while and now i kind of caught up on the mini-fics that i didn’t read yet from ur event!! but i didn’t wanna spam like/reblog in case it might’ve bothered you, so i chose to send an ask instead,,:)

each one of those fics are so wholesome n heartwarming,, and honestly i know this app can be shitty when it comes to feedback so i thought you really deserved to know how GREAT ur works are!!! obviously idk you on a personal level but it truly looks like you put a lot of efforts in writing and expressing all kind of emotions, we human beings, go through. you’re also such a sweet person like😭😭 ur always so genuine and nice,, and i mean all of these together make you one of my favs writers out here.. so if you ever wonder whether your works are good enough, YES, yes they a 100% are. i’m done talking now,, mb this is kinda long sksj… btw have a gud day/evening!!!<3

oh my GOODNESS what a LOVELY message to end the day with :”) my…. my HEART I AM JUST!!! 

ok full disclaimer for anyone (you included my lovely human being) that anyone is more than welcome to reblog/spam me with what they read and just wanna share what they think, haha! i don’t think people understand how welcomed that is (or maybe it differs from person to person). thank you for being considerate, though!!! i greatly appreciate you considering that but honestly, fire away, friends. i will see and most definitely reblog each one HAHA! <3 so just putting it out there first!

and…. oh my goodness this is so??? SO LOVELY??? my heart is actually so warm right now i just– :”) thank YOU for taking the time to come into my ask and send me this. it’s so, so comforting to know that the work i  put out, the things i write to comfort myself and to have a release somewhere, is comforting someone else and bringing them joy even if it’s in the slightest. that truly makes my day. and definitely makes all of this worthwhile. and honestly? it’s the kind of tumblr i missed from my days writing for exo, then to bts. 

i was hesitant to start writing for txt bc i felt like the community of people i used to write with under an-exotic-writer seemed to have faded. it’s like we ALL dropped out of tumblr at the same time and it made me miss the community i was in. so now being here, a couple of months after i came back to tumblr and being welcomed, having this kind of support and now reading a message like this??? unmatched. i am forever grateful and thank you so, so much!!!

(i bet you didn’t expect an essay back but KACHOWWWWW i am the queen of writing essays with sappy feelings <3 thank you my love and have a good day, afternoon, evening, night, wherever you are, sweet bean!)

Big emotions in the likes only fandom I feel

Instagramification of tumblr will never not hurt ... likes do NOTHING round here

[gender-euphowrya]

is there a more annoying species of cunt than the ones that go "well i think [opinion A] but people who also think [opinion A] make bad arguments sometimes so i'm gonna start thinking [opinion B] instead"

Just really wish the people who care so much about trans people sexually assaulting women in bathrooms would care more about cis men sexually assaulting women literally everywhere else

Gettin’ freaked out by the abv thing again

I saw another “Beer is really DUMB because it has LOW ALCOHOL and I tried one once when I was 20 and HATED IT I only drink 20% COCKTAILS” post and it gets very confusing to me, especially because this one was in a group for a primarily queer audience and was tacitly equating drinking fruity high abv cocktails to *checks notes* queerness.

Because, y’know. You’re queerness is based on how much you like a certain drink, and you’re “tougher” for drinking more alcohol.

Like, sure, I get it, you wanna seem cool for drinking something and maybe you felt genuinely hurt that a frat boy called your blue hawaii ‘gay’, but

maybe we stop equating one’s value and even one’s ‘queerness’ to alcohol consumption
