At this point I’m starting to wonder what alien fans actually want out of an alien film because NOTHING seems to make you happy

[inkskinned]

im gonna start a fight; and, at the same time, i need you to take this in the most good-faith way possible, but:

videos that involve body-checking and intentionally (and uncritically) show a mealplan of an unhealthy number of calories are just a revamped version of pro-ana food diaries.

and yeah, i know there's arguments. i address some of them under the cut. but at the end of the day, we're just coming back to romanticizing mental illness; we've just found a better platform for it.

this is already something we've done. we knew it was wrong and tried to stop it. and tbh. it just wasn't enough.

there are people who argue "well, what if you have an eating disorder, you can't help it if you don't eat!" except that as someone with an ED; we are not infants. we know what we're doing. part of having an ED is that you are like, maybe too self-aware. even if we can't help our own food choices, we don't need to fucking romanticize the disorder - something we've been warning you about since 2013. there are hours of setup, filming, and editing that go into these videos. they do not happen to fall into place randomly. there is a reason they are pieced together to be beautiful, bright, inspiring.

there's this woman who pretty much only posts daily plans under a normal amount of calories, and everyone defends her saying but it's better than nothing! and i'm like. except she opens those with images of her showing off her body and provides no context in the video or caption that suggests that she believes what she's doing is unhealthy. she has hundreds of thousands of followers on a platform designed for young kids and teens. i refuse to believe that by accident her content just happens to be cheery advice on "healthy" versions of starving.

for any other symptom of mental illness, we would be incredibly enraged by this kind of placid acceptance of a "tips and tricks" fast-start guide. imagine if people posted pink & pretty videos saying "best places to cut yourself" as if it was a fucking storytime. we, as a society, are so fucking fatphobic that we would rather accept blatantly harmful displays of self harm than admit that we are obsessed with a hyper-thin body type.

i am not suggesting someone never talks about their disorder. i talk about mine. actually, it's a plot point in my book.

here's the difference: i recognize it's a fucking mental illness. i am very careful to never mention a specific weight, eating pattern, or calorie plan. i always make sure to position it as something that ruined my fucking life. i do not put cheery music in the background and hearts and sparkles over my worst moments. i do not film it in bright light. i do not start each passage with an image of a thin body followed by "here's how to look like her."

eating disorders should not be framed as aspirational. and the problem is that society worships the "after" image, so long as you don't get too sick. there is a reason so many people who quit being "influencers" will later admit - i wasn't eating well that whole time; an obsession with food was completely destroying my life.

we let any uncredited, uncertified person write the most backwards, fucked up shit about how to get the body you desire! because the underlying, secret belief is: well, at least they're thin! and the real thing that fucking gets me each time - they make fucking money off of it. their irresponsibility and societal harm literally pays off for them.

"why do you care so much." "don't like it don't look." "so what if people experiment with new ways of thinking of food?"

thank you for asking. we're about to get extremely personal. it's because when i was 18 i discovered "thinspiration"/"thinspo." and it absolutely influenced, shaped, and codified my pre-existing eating disorder. i went from having some troubling habits and traits to being incredibly unwell within what felt like a matter of days. there were actual pages designed to train me on how to have an ED correctly. it was all so suddenly easy. i was sick; and the nature of the illness meant - i wanted to be sicker.

it takes an average of 7 years for a person to fully recover. i know this personally - even now, 10 years from the worst of it, i still fucking struggle. i am so much happier now and i eat what i want and i literally don't think about food at all (19 year old me would shudder) and yet - i still fucking know the calories of plain toast with butter.

an eating disorder is one of the deadliest types of mental illness. over 1 in 4 people with an ED will attempt suicide.

and i'm sorry. i just do not see the exchange rate of "high rate of engagement" versus "the value of a human life."

[spooksier]

watched hazbin hotel with friends last weekend and oh my god guys i could feel it turning me into a reactionary conservative ive never gotten so pissed off at a piece of media before. free all those voice actors from their chains.

[motley-cunt]

sorry I think we just need to talk about this again. I really. Really think we do. Just all of it.

[arliedraws]

Why are people angry when fan writers don’t want to write about certain characters? Like…not to be annoying here, but none of us have an obligation to write about characters we don’t feel like writing. Maybe you’re pissed that people don’t feature Peter enough in their fics, or maybe you’re irritated there isn’t enough Hermione or Ron in a fic, but like …who cares. Go read something else then.

Now, I do understand general venting that you wanna see a character more—fair enough, but also, you shouldn’t feel bad as an artist if you don’t really want to write about a certain character. Fandom is where I go to write about the characters I’m interested in, so why would I force myself to write about characters I DON’T want to investigate?

Additionally, If you’re annoyed that a character isn’t included enough, then go write that fic yourself!

[patheticrafeenjoyer]

me when i'm sooooo not pissed off and jealous watching my boy toy go inside with someone else

(hey its also so insane that barry does not talk to rafe about this serious shit until he's literally on his way inside with sofia. and then rafe actually stops and goes to talk to barry. what the hell is that all about.)

[moon-song-and-star]

Funny shit i found playing aai1

1) love a dumb reference

2) nick reference!! I miss him :( also jesus there are so many of these

Bonus! the dream gavel (they have the same court nightmares awwh):

My other dumb thoughts in the tags for your amusement should you wish it lmao

[communist-hatsunemiku]

Just a reminder to everyone that this is a weird and unnecessary comment and this one is especially odd cuz they tack on this lukewarm apology. Like if you feel bad about it then just don't comment? I don't understand

[s3v3r3dh3ad]

Nobody ever mentions how fucking GARANTUAN ARAN RYAN'S FEET ARE FOR SOME REASON?💀😭

Anyways so I made this extremely detailed scientific diagram on what I think the inside of this mfs shoe looks like.😍

My theory with 0% evidence to back it up is that this loony bitch also keeps horseshoes in his actual shoes in case he decides to pull a Dragon Chan and start kicking mfs in the ring.💀😭

[sarenhale]

Dude he is so fucking big... I'm... yeah... A.... U........ Christ

[tysonfurybattlepass]

lancer hot take GO

1. CRIMINALLY underrated as a key player in the narrative. so often in fan content, he’s relegated to comic relief when in reality his character arc is the fucking CO-FOCAL POINT of ch1 (alongside susie’s)

but where susie learns that opposition isn’t always the answer, and it can lead to her hurting people she loves, lancer learns that the authority figure in his life isn’t omnipotent and perfect and he can stand up for what he knows is just. he can question the adult in his life he can BE HIS OWN PERSON and he doesn’t have to feel like he’s not good enough. fuck. not personal or anything prommy (lying)

2. i think he should be allowed to KILL. queen will livestream it. shit would be funny as fuck

[dorianpavus]

someone tagging "biden is a good president" on my post about adobe. mr. genocide for brains is actually a racist piece of propagandist filth and i'll drink to his death. anyway :)

[rainy-void]

Bruno based on a figurine of Mother Mary. Because I am feeling completely normal about him :)

[isan0rt]

I'm very tired of hearing the "why doesn't Kingdom Hearts cater to ME, a person who doesn't want to have to care about it. Kingdom Hearts should stop rewarding the people who are deeply emotionally invested in it and should instead care only about Me, Casual Fan who only wants to give a shit every 5-10 years or so, what about MY feelings" argument. Jesus fucking Christ. It's been 22 years. Suck it up and go play a Halo then.
