#as annoying as i find it generally

[flaticeball]

the idea of a Gayest Player In The NHL bracket at all is already in poor taste to some degree bc i get everyone loves to make the “they’re so gay for each other fr” jokes but the condition of the actual league and its actions right now is like. you do understand why calling these people Gay Icons (Positive) for funny haha jokes is just. at best inappropriate timing, yes? but the idea of literally including one of the guys who got pride nights cancelled with his homophobia is just. can we take a minute to realize that hockey fandom doesn’t take place in a void completely unconnected to reality and see that this is just. a Really Bad Look. at best.

Book 2 au with Zuko and Katara Lee and Huamei

Katara is separated from her friends, and so she's left to travel the earth kingdom on her own. She stumbles across Zuko, who is similarly travelling on his own. They decide that pairing up and travelling together would be best

FROM as a show is so special because it's one of those rare instances where the most disliked character that the fandom finds to be annoying for any and all reasons... is a white man. Instead of doing the usual thing where the most hated character is a woman who is over-hated for even the most minor misstep (with the underlying real reason being misogyny). And I just think that's so beautiful, so thank you Jim for being mildly but consistently irritating. The world is healing ❤️

Honestly tired of the criticism SNW gets from specifically Tumblr (cause when I check reddit, they love it lots). Like, there are some nitpicky ass people here.

Imo, the Gorn are awesome (you saw them once in TOS, get over it!), Spock/Chapel make sense and were always plausible (Also Spock had his fair share of female love interests in TOS that he knew less than Christine), regarding the silly episodes where Spock gets turned "human" or the new one where the crew turns "vulcan" (In quotes because a. I don't think the intention is for them to be accurate representation of either race b. we all just gonna ignore all the silly ass episodes in TOS like they're not part of the series' bread and butter), the musical episode was literally the best musical episode in the entirety of the genre of rando show doing a musical episode.

Spock this Spock that, there's so many complaints about Spock as if the Menagerie didn't have ooc Spock. The complaints about not having enough screen time for this character or that, like, again, let's be real, this show is for people who specifically loved TOS, of course you're going to have lots of Spock, Chapel, Uhura and yes, Jim also (because he's beyond crucial to Star Trek's legacy), and yes, maybe there should be more Ortega and idk whoever that other pilot is, but you still have focus on Pike, Una, and La'an, which is pretty damn good for a show that only has 10 episodes a season.

Lovely to see that the show has a 98% from Rotten Tomatoes, and a 93% from Google Users, which imo, despite the wackos I've seen on this site, is what really matters and means the show is going to keep trucking along despite a minority of negativity.

My long winded way to say, I can't wait for season 3! ❤️

I've been seeing this a lot lately, but a little while ago I mentioned something to do with disability in a discord and someone asked me if I was a "spoonie". Not if I was disabled, but a spoonie. I need y’all to fucking get it into ur heads that disabled is not a dirty word. You can use the term spoonie for yourself all you want, but the second you start imposing it on other people and generally using it in place of the word "disabled", its just another woo-woo euphemism that seeks to soften and make comfortable the vocabulary and concept of disability.

Like at a certain point it becomes clear that a lot of people now are using “spoonie” in the same damn way as “differently abled” or "handicapable". The origin and intent of the term become moot within that usage because what it serves to do is invoke disability euphemistically, obfuscating and softening it in service of compulsory normative able-bodymindedness.

If you want to use that term for yourself, fine. Have fun. It doesn't have these same connotations when its used as a self identifier rather than as a replacement for the word "disabled". But stop applying it to others in place of "disabled" I’m so fucking serious.

I think Gricko was the first one to catch onto Kremy’s crush on Gideon, and I’m certain he caught on VERY early on into their friendship

Because, think about it. Gricko—as a Druid—is very in tune with nature, animals and beasts specifically. And Frost and Kremy (and hell, I’d even argue Torbek as well)—while being obviously different to their animal brethren—still have some connections to their beastial cousins. Even if it’s minor things, like Frost having some cat mannerisms (pushing things off of shelves, catching/eating small rodents, phasing in and out of existence whenever he pleases), or Kremy having some lizard/gator tendencies/anatomy (like the alligator death roll he did that one time, as well as most likely having a cloaca)

So like, imagine early on into their friendship (fuck, I’d say within the first week), Gideon would beat someone to death, and Kremy would let out a low bellow while watching him (because, let’s be honest here, Kremy totally gets off on Gideon punching people to death. Did you see how he kept trying to get people to call Gid a bitch during episode 28? That fight with Chuckles either awakened something in Kremy, or he was mentally saving that imagery to use for another day iykwim). Kremy may not even realize he’s doing it, but Gricko notices. Fuck, I’d say that Gricko’s hearing is so well tuned for animal sounds that he hears it, even when the others can’t.

So Gricko has his suspicions at this point, but doesn’t say anything. Instead, he watches Kremy and Gideon interact—paying more attention to Kremy than Gideon. And at one point, I’d say during dinner or something, Gideon and Kremy are sitting beside each other, talking, and Kremy subtly bumps his snout against Gideon’s neck or under his jaw (since Gid doesn’t have a snout of his own, and is also slightly taller than Kremy). Not hard enough to really be noticeable or felt by Gideon. But Gricko notices.

And at first he thinks nothing of it. “It was probably an accident or something”. And then it happens again. And again. And again. This starts happening nightly, especially during meals, and sometimes several times during one meal.

Eventually, Gricko hunts Kremy down and asks him outright if he and Gideon are together. Kremy sputters and says the typical “oh, we’re just friends, a couple of guys, partners in crime” spiel. Gricko then asks Kremy if he WANTS to be Gideon’s partner, and Kremy says a bunch of other shit, but nothing he’s saying is a no. Kremy asks Gricko how he even got the idea of Kremy and Gideon being romantic partners, and Gricko points out all the very obvious signs, like the bellowing (“wait I…I mean, what the fuck are you talking about!?” Kremy asks, knowing exactly what Gricko means by the bellowing), the snout bumps (“well, I have to look up to make eye contact when he’s talking” Kremy argues. “Kremy, you were practically sitting in his lap and doing the snout bumps. It was very much intentional” Gricko rebuttals), and hell, Kremy’s tail wags like a fucking dogs whenever Gideon does as much as smile at the gatorkin.

I mean, why else would GRICKO of all people be one of the biggest Coalecroux shippers within the party. Yeah, the other members know Kremy and Gideon’s VERY obvious feelings for each other, but the only ones actually trying to get the two together are Twig (who I’m pretty sure clocked them within the first hour) and Gricko. Except Gricko is slightly more subtle about it, because I imagine he is just trying to give Kremy a nudge in the right direction in confessing to Gid without explicitly getting in the way (if that makes sense?)

Idk man, I feel like Gricko would have a weirdly easy time reading Kremy and Frost compared to the others because of their connection to their animal kin and his connection to nature and animals/beasts in general

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

i can understand being a jonah magnus hater. i can understand being a peter lukas hater. but if you hate simon fairchild, i do not understand you. not one bit. you are a liar of some kind, surely

[elftwink]

can i say something. about the way you people talk about dungeon meshi. i find it extremely... interesting how headcanons about laios being nonbinary are framed exclusively as a way to shoot down other people's headcanons about laios being transfem. like you are aware when you have a hc that a character is nonbinary you can just... say it... and you don't need to preface it with "well i don't think they're transfem BUT".

and also i think its interesting that i never actually uhm. see anyone discussing their nonbinary laios hc in literally any detail. obviously i can't read anyones mind but it comes across to an audience like you saw someone hc laios as a trans woman, got irrationally irritated about it, found a 'progressive' and 'trans friendly' way to shoot it down, and then proceeded to continue treating him like a cis man in every post, meta, fic, etc, only ever bringing up the fact that you think laios is nb when someone else thinks laios is a woman. almost like you don't actually think that at all, and keep the idea around exclusively because transfem hcs make you uncomfortable for reasons you refuse to interrogate.

i don't think this is necessarily intentional on anyone's part, but i do think considering the discussions we have been having about transmisogyny on this website its not unreasonable to ask (especially of fellow tme trans people) that you have a long hard look at the way you respond to things like transfem hcs. while obviously fandom is #notthatdeep, it does not bode well for your ability to make room for your trans sisters for things that actually matter if you can't even do it regarding gender headcanons for anime characters
