"No we are not saying that teenagers are not vulnerable to being taken advantage of- we are just saying that people who hone in on Ellen's "I was just a child" are stupid, because that does not mean Ellen was a literal child, she might at best have been a teenager when she had her first sexual encounter with Orlok-no it isn't weird at all to push this point whenever a discussion of CSA is brought up, rather people not JUST focusing on it as a metaphor for sexual awakening lack media literacy because they are taking Ellen's protests against Orlok too literally- no there is no irony in this, even though we are discussing a character who famously gets frustrated in the movie because no one deigns to listen to what she is saying-no it is stupid to read into Orlok's you awakened me enchantress, you are my affliction to Ellen ( who previously just said that she had been a child) and not draw any uncomfortable conclusions about victim blaming-no it is not at all dangerous to imply that abuse always exists in exclusion to desire and romance."

HE MADE IT HOMEEEEEEE!!! JUST IN TIME FOR HIS DINNER TOO (so very punctual of him). The silly crazy Puzzle man is real and existing among us now. My day has now been exponentially brightened, thanks <3

yes i'm rooting for m*leven breakup because byler is neat but mostly? i'm rooting for m*leven breakup for the sake of el and mike.

to me, their romance was always a puppy love born out of a combination of social pressures, naïve curiosity, and a lack of true understanding regarding intimacy and romantic love and what it really is. it was real in that they do truly, deeply care about each other and they are close friends, maybe even shared an attraction, but a maturing romance is so much more than that. they've grown up and out of being boyfriend/girlfriend, and that's okay! i think television/film needs to show more often that most of us don't have definite "soulmates" or first childhood loves that we spend our whole lives with. it doesn't mean these relationships meant nothing and didn't impact us, it just means they've run their course and that something else is in the cards, and this is part of life!

i've always felt el was at her best and most confident self when broken up with mike, discovering who she was and what she liked alongside another girl her age instead of just relying on mike for mentorship on how to live in the real world. she deserves more of an opportunity to find herself, her autonomy, and her independence, and to love who she is, and she's made it clear she's felt insecure in the relationship with mike because she isn't being loved and understood the way she wants, needs, and deserves from someone who is her partner.

also, it's okay if mike doesn't love her in "the way he should". he is not obligated to love her romantically and stay in a relationship with her just because she's a girl, because she "needed someone", or because he cares about her a lot. he shouldn't be pressured into a romance if it's not truly coming from his heart. he deserves freedom to find out and honour who he is, too, instead of just staying in his non-functional first relationship — one he got into as a child, essentially — and defining himself that way because it's what's expected when a boy and a girl are close. he loves her in some way, yes, but it's okay if he doesn't feel comfortable or secure being her boyfriend anymore, for whatever reason that is. he's felt insecure too, and that's valid and it matters.

they are their own people and are steadily growing and changing every day. they need time to figure out who those people are, and it's become clear (at least in my opinion) that those people aren't meant to be a couple at this stage.

they deserve freedom. they deserve to grow up and be authentic to themselves and not feel like they need to lie for the sake of a relationship. they deserve to move on from this version of their relationship that isn't making them happy and rekindle the best part of their bond: their strong, beautiful friendship. they don't have to be a couple if it doesn't make them stronger and better and happier people.

i think it would be healthy and wonderful for a show, especially one consumed frequently by young adults, to show a relationship starting, progressing, and ending on good terms in this way. sometimes things don't work out, and that is okay.

Tiny little post lmao: DO NOT hesitate to send me asks, it doesn't matter if you've sent me one already, feel free to send me as many as you want, I don't mind at all! It does take me a while to answer because I'm sometimes busy but I will see it and I will read it! So pls pls pls keep sending asks because you don't know how happy they make me :D

Also, It's funny to me how I get so many asks about ppl wanting Megs or others to adopt them / about the ships (especially wavewave) / offering them kisses and snacks, etc. Instead of about the plot or important events, or maybe some individual character facts. Definitely don't stop asking me whatever you want, I just wanted to point that out cause it made me smile a little lmao

Have this phone doodle for now lmao:

Brain too fried today to draw/say something funny

So uhhh

I've been playing with the idea of giving my verse's Jon two crows he loves tolerates, proudly named "Shock" and "Horror". He has a whole murder in fact, trained to keep an eye out for intuders too close to his hideout his guard crows if you will but among them Shock and Horror are special.

To anyone who isn't Jon, the two are considered pests- Shock like his dad seems to like scaring people, and does so by having a volume that is either 0 or 100. He also won't shut up when he starts. Horror is just a menace who likes biting people and is weirdly violent but we love her anyway <3333

many things i have been keeping under wraps at work, such as pronouns, but also, very critically, age. bc i got that ageless mixed race asian swag where i am very clearly not an undergrad but also??? they just don't know. and it WHIPS and it is so funny to ME because all the managers and shift supervisors are like damn this girl in her mid-twenties is so easy to talk to, it's like talking to a peer. surprise bitch i'm older than you. and maybe this means i'm performing psychological experiments on cis men, but i am ngl if i hand you a two page resume that you don't read, it is simply none of MY business if you think i am in my mid-20s. they are going to be so mad when they find out lmao

[bigcats-birds-and-books]

also omg i was waffling on Which Notebook To Use As Writing Bitch Journal Next, which i certainly do not need any time soon given the number of blank pages in the current volume, and i realized i already repurposed ONE volume as gifted to me by my beloathed last job, so i absolutely should use ANOTHER gifted-to-me-by-current-beloathed-job for the next one, perfect, no notes (all the notes)(it's a writing journal after all)

Zongzheng Huai’en reminds me of Wen KeXing more & more with each episode which is both endearing and amusing.

Started watching the Bayverse movies with my besties and... Are we just too gay for these movies??? Admittedly we only finished the first two and got through a quarter of the third, but the second one was such a drag to sit through at times and it probably doesn't help that we do NOT care about Sam that much. I hope that there is a character arc for him in the rest of the third movie. Because so far he has not been fun to watch in that one. He just comes off as a slight manchild to me, like... I can see why he would be frustrated with where he is in life but the way he acts with others and lashes out does not help him in the slightest. I do have to admit though that seeing him go to Cybertronian Heaven in the second movie was the funniest part for me and my besties lol.

I'll just hope that the other guy in the next movies will be at least a bit more interesting. Doesn't even have to be a good guy, just an interesting guy for me lol

[tohruies]

i would like to kiss karasu lots... and cuddle him lots... and make love with him lots… and tell him i love him lots and lots and lots…… 🥺💞💝����💘💞💘

[scionshtola]

one more thing sorry lol but part of the whole cori keeping things to herself thing is of course their desire to not have others worry about them, and part of it is a brute force optimism that if they don’t think about it then maybe it will stop, and also a big part of it is they literally can’t bring themself to speak of it bc it hurts too much. okay goodnight

[apostaterevolutionary]

I’m trying to glean from your posts if soukyuu no fafner is a yaoi but the characters have that early 2000s androgynous look so I can’t tell ��️

Anon this is making me laugh so much cause it did not even occur to me that the genders would be the ambiguous part lmao (context: it's the same art style as a show I was obsessed with in my teens, so that art style raised me, you know)

Anyway, they are both dudes, yes, (and the genre is actually a mecha, idk if that's clear, the robots do not feature heavily in the posts I can find lmfao) but the question of 'are they gay' is like. There are definitely some Moments, although no on screen smooching (though surprisingly like. There's het options that are baited too and yet never go anywhere either - as far as on-screen relationships go, celibacy won in the end), but at the same time like. The only way I can describe it is with this diagram

I can't really explain it fully without just infodumping the entire series lmao but trust that I am not exaggerating when I say it might be the most intense relationship I've ever seen in anything ever, and I have seen A Lot of things

[dendrochronologies]

crying in public out of sheer relief and overwhelm that sometimes things do work out > being so cool and reserved and Put Together and unaffected. pass it onn
