#and you ARE

What hurts me the most,and that is completely personal and subjective, is that Louis is ok with presenting himself as homophobic. Regardless what was the reason and where is he coming from he chooses that that perception of him in public is ok with him.

Anon you're entitled to your own emotional landscape - feel how you feel. But I think the idea that what Louis said shows that he's 'ok with presenting himself as homophobic' - is fucking nonsense that has nothing to do with what homophobia is and how the world works. It does really frustrate me that fans aren't content with respecting their own reactions and instead have to tell complicated stories about how they are objectively bad that completely misrepresent the nature of oppression.

Finding it frustrating that thousands of people are telling a story about you that is different from the story that you tell about yourself, and making it your problem by bringing it up with you and everyone you know all the time for years is a completely normal and reasonable reaction to society. Voicing your frustration is a totally reasonable thing to do - and I hate the way that some fans try and police and control by pretending that that's what oppression looks like.

Homophobia structures all our lives. Homophobic violence is on the rise. Responding to fans who are constantly @ing you making it clear that they're telling a different story about you from the one you are telling is not homophobia.

hi it’s me again here to annoy you about hamlet - you’re on act 2 right? That’s the beginning of the “fuck around” stage of the play as I would call it. A lot of it is setup for what happens in act 3, which really gets the ball rolling imo. But! Since you’ve started, you’ve met my favorite character (horatio) who I can’t really talk about in full perspective until you’re finished but… he really is an important character even if he doesn’t seem important at certain points. Do you have a favorite yet? (sorry I don’t want to pester im just really excited to hear what you think about it)

Hi again! It's not annoying, don't worry; you're allowed to express your interest and excitement :)

I just finished act 2 and am now at the beginning of act 3! And I think I can see what you mean--I'm not far, but it seems like things are about to Start Happening. We've got the ghosts, we've got the foul players, we've got the background. Now it's time to Do It.

I don't think I know any of the characters well enough yet to have favorites, though I am intrigued by Ophelia. And of course having more info about Hamlet makes him more appealing by default for the time being. But! I have seen you talk about Horatio quite frequently, though in all honesty I didn't read the posts in full because I hadn't read Hamlet. I'll keep my eye on him though :)

And of course, Polonius and Claudius's schemes and what each of them are doing intrigue me, even though I may not like them!

[that-one-fangirl69]

I mean this in the nicest way possible…

but what the actual fuck are you talking about.

I’ve seen you. You’re beautiful, hot even. Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a bad bitch. You’re allowed to act like it.

I love you. *mwah*❤️

On my first day in Germany I got to my hotel and I couldn't get the lights to turn on. And I was like "Eh, fuck it, I'll just take a shower in the dark." And then the shower wouldn't get hot. I waited and waited and it stayed ice cold.

So I go down to the front desk and I'm like "My lights won't turn on and my shower won't get hot" so they send this guy up with me. We get into the room and I flick the switch and nothing happens so I'm like "See?"

And he goes "You must put your card in the slot."

"I... what? I have to put my room card in the light switch?"

"Of course!"

Now I have been in many hotels in the US and never encountered this concept, but apparently it was something most of their guests already knew. So I'm looking like a fool at this point. I feel like an idiot. The dude is fully grinning at me. I put the card in the slot and voila, the light turns on.

Then he's like "Ok, let's see if the shower works. You know you must wait for the hot water?" and I just know he's thinking I'm an idiot who also can't use a shower. This stupid American can't wait for the hot water! She can't even use a light switch or a shower!

And I guess he was distracted by these thoughts of my stupidity, because this dude fully stepped into the shower. In his nice dress shirt and slacks. He just. Gets into the shower.

And turns it on.

Have you ever seen a playing field get leveled instantaneously

As gen-AI becomes more normalized (Chappell Roan encouraging it, grifters on the rise, young artists using it), I wanna express how I will never turn to it because it fundamentally bores me to my core. There is no reason for me to want to use gen-AI because I will never want to give up my autonomy in creating art. I never want to become reliant on an inhuman object for expression, least of all if that object is created and controlled by tech companies. I draw not because I want a drawing but because I love the process of drawing. So even in a future where everyone’s accepted it, I’m never gonna sway on this.

the us banning tiktok over fears of chinese influence prompting americans to flee to xiaohongshu (which translates to little red book - the same name as the famous red book of mao zedong quotations) and form instant connections with the chinese… you can't make this kind of irony up
