When people say Annabeth was an unreliable narrator and her stepmom was actually nice to her…
#annabeth chase#because percy met annabeths parents once and didn’t see how they were so bad but we then got her pov of it in MoA I think#but they’re choosing to say she was an unreliable narrator instead?#people use the term unreliable narrator too loosely#anything that they can’t understand is apparently the result of an unreliable narrato#or anything they don’t want to understand#yes her stepmom was concerned when percy told her what happened to her#but does that mean what annabeth said happened was false? no#it’s actually really simple#no thinking caps needed#pjo#I won’t tag as pro Annabeth post because I don’t think they are anti annabeth but that they refuse to let her have any trauma#bc they don’t like the idea of adding to her character and giving her character more than just being annabeth#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#hoo#leah sava jeffries#mark of athena#percabeth#the lightning thief#the titans curse#unreliable narrators#but people just throw that term around

This post wasn’t supposed to get notes and the main focus was on the tags so I’m leaving those intact in case anyone clicks through to the original
#anyway. going to start blocking people who throw around the term fed like that. we need to put it on the high shelf#y'all heard about feds funding infighting in the black panthers and you think that of your blogging platform considered dead by non-users?#tumblr arguments are not equivalent to disrupting real life protesting and community organizing! they just aren't!#sometimes people who start stupid arguments online are just assholes. you just have to accept that there are assholes in the lgbt community

I have had really low energy and haven't been playing much of anything but I did start a file on Switch for 1.6! Her name is Eve and she just showed up one day in winter and stays there with some chickens. Once she's able to buy seeds without raising suspicion though? She discovers farming is really fun.
#stardew valley#farmer eve#as my final switch file for a long time since i really dont want to create a secondary profile for more saves#and i think five is the save cap per profile on switch#she is sadly all alone in the world :c#for instance my og farmer (salmon) and my second farmer (trout) are brother and sister#then my more prominently drawn farmer (asmo) is cousins with my fourth file (belphi)#eve hower is just there shes vibing all alone#but so far she is closest with shane and i like that for them both buuuuut#she will at this point in time end up probably being roommates w krobus#like thats the long term goal for her ?#but if that changes over the course of the file then it changes! ya sometimes never know#eve just walks and creeps around and avoids lots of conversations bc she doesnt want to talk to people#also she is going to throw hands with robin bc now that she FINALLY has clay for a silo#it was the day robin doesnt work bc she is doing aerobics then the next day was the flower festival#please robin her chickens are going to starve she needs a silo please it has taken forever to get 10 clay

Okay, I don’t know if I’m looking too deep into this but this made me really sad and uncomfortable.
I mean, Jason could say something along the lines of “don’t kill the kid, kill me instead” but he said “I’ll do anything you want, anything”. Him repeating the word ‘anything’ wasn’t a stutter from the fear kicking in (they used ‘-‘ and ‘…’ to portray the stutter/ repetition of words due to strain/exhaustion). But this word was written so clearly as just a repetition to emphasize that he meant anything. What ever it is that he was implying, is very upsetting nonetheless.
Then the way Scarecrow held Jason’s face. That could easily just be a villain trying to make their victim weak, holding them firm, leaning in close-invading their space, and ensuring they feel vulnerable. Yeah okay I get that.
But then Joker walks in and calls Crane a pervert. And sure you can argue that Joker is just throwing names around. But this whole multi interaction caught me off guard and yeah maybe I’m reading too deep into it. Maybe Jason just felt helpless and spewed out words? Idk.
Whatever the situation was, still hurts to read. I don’t know, it just felt so wrong. Even if he wasn’t implying anything, Scarecrow and Joker are still taking advantage of a vulnerable person. Which obviously is awful and disgusting,
#I just want my poor boy to be okay for once#Oh also#People who throw around the term ‘trauma porn’ - Yes I know DC likes to do this sometimes#No I’m not trying to add some SA to Jason’s story.#I’m just telling you what my thoughts were when I read this#If people want to make it into a hc I get that it could add to an interesting story but Only if it’s portrayed accurately and with respect#Which is exactly what dc doesn’t do#I’ll admit that I love angst-I really do. But this was just horrible.#Fuck you batman#Jason wouldn’t be in this situation if it weren’t for you#jason todd#red hood#batfamily#dc#dc comics#scarecrow#jonathan crane#dr crane#joker#tagging as sa just in case#Threat of SA#tw sa implied#sa mention#Red rambles#holy queue batman

Since Hazbin Hotel popped off, I've seen a few times people asserting that there is something racist about Alastor's backstory, given that he is canonically a Creole from New Orleans, but his demon form does not have any overt indicators of his being a person of color
So here's a gentle reminder and clarification, as a Louisiana Creole myself;
"Louisiana Creoles (French: Créoles de la Louisiane, Louisiana Creole: Moun Kréyòl la Lwizyàn, Spanish: Criollos de Luisiana) are a Louisiana French ethnic group descended from the inhabitants of colonial Louisiana before it became a part of the United States during the period of both French and Spanish rule. They share cultural ties such as the traditional use of the French, Spanish, and Creole languages and predominant practice of Catholicism. Some mistakenly think the term is a racial designation, while in fact people of European, of African, and of mixed ancestry have all been termed "Creole" since the 18th century." (x, emphasis mine)
Please pay special attention to the last sentence. While many, probably most, Louisiana Creoles are of mixed-race ancestry, not all are. I'm not saying there aren't valid critiques of Alastor as a character, this just isn't one of them
#Sword speaks#Hazbin Hotel#Hazbin Hotel Alastor#Radio Demon#I could add an entire bibliography on this cause the development of Louisiana Creoles as a culture is actually really interesting#and I've been doing a ton of research into my family history and in turn Louisiana history#because Louisiana my love 💕#but I keep encountering this misconception about Creoles from both white and black people alike#and like the only reason we have this misconception is cause when the Americans showed up#they took the complicated French social and racial systems and shoved it in a dualistic racial model#and white Americans saw that a lot of Creoles were mixed race so just assumed that's what the term meant#it didn't help when Jim Crow geared up and there was an active effort by racist white Creoles to distance themselves from Creoles of color#tldr: shit be nuanced so don't throw around accusations of racism all willy-nilly

I feel like some people forget this cis is not a personal identity term, it is a social category that describes an axis of gendered privilege, and you objectively do not fall into that category if you transgress the sex and gender that you were assigned
#saw a post saying that multigender trans women who are also men are cis men in addition to being trans women and like. not how that works#it is possible to be a trans woman who is also a man. it is not possible to be a trans woman who is also a CIS man#it is possible to be a transfem man. it is not possible to be a transfem CIS man#because being bigender or transfem or trans at all means that you are not part of the category of people whose sex and gender fit into their#sex assignment and thus you do not have the privilege that comes with that. which is what the term cis describes#the post was a response to an anon and was written in a way that assumed their objection to multigender transfems being included#under the category of cis men must be because they don’t think you you can be a man and a woman at the same time#rather than the obvious conclusion that it’s because transfems are not cis no matter what even if they are also men#but considering who the op was it’s to be expected that it would throw around accusations of erasing multigender people#and hating men when the anon literally just said that it’s kind of fucked up to call multigender transfems cis men

manic pixie dream girls are a stock character archetype in FICTION btw. Most commonly used to describe certain female characters written by men for men. Manic pixie dream girls are not real actual girls and women. in fact, I think calling real life women manic pixie dream girls is inherently misogynistic :)
Also dropping this here.
Phew! Ok
#sorry random anon on the dash said they don’t like maisie because she gives manic pixie dream girl.#no she doesn’t! that isn’t a thing!#a lot of people just love throwing words and terms around huh.#like just say you find her annoying and Go!#okay I’m logging off for the bit the internet is irritating me today!

sorry im just thinking about bcs but like. why not add a few smaller scenes of gus interacting with his own men? why does it seem like, in comparison, mike is almost immediately elevated to a higher status than those two in bcs purely because we actually get to see him having normal conversations with gus? like i understand they might not keep the plot moving as well because of the fact obviously if victor is currently doing something it’s because gus told him to etc. but for the most part all of the smaller interactions gus does have with those two ends up being in a somewhat high stress situation where it feels very tense between everyone. and it’s just like damn! is it always like that?? why do those two even care that much about their jobs if their boss is a bit of a dick? etc. i think even an additional scene or two with those guys (either alone or the both of them) talking with gus in a more normal situation could’ve both added a bit more depth into how gus treats his employees (we got a lot with how he treats lyle and co., but not a whole lot with the illegal side of things), how comfortable vic and tyrus feel around him in a calmer setting, and exactly why they both feel the need to be as loyal as they are to the guy.
and also on the other side of this i don't think it'd hurt to maybe elaborate on their pay just a bit..? i'm not saying to randomly put a number out into the atmosphere but i just mean some smaller things like. do they buy nicer things for themselves? what's their housing situation? what's their car situation? are the escalade / yukon their own vehicles or does gus just use those two for business situations? do they use them when they're doing their own stuff off the clock or do they have their own cars? etc. that can also help with understanding their motivations a bit. don't get me wrong i don't think they should be visibly rich or something because that's not what gus would want but just smaller things! cause it's easy to write their loyalty off as Well they probably get paid super well, which i'm sure is true, but if they don't show a single hint of that then what's the point. even something as simple as giving tyrus a nice watch, or maybe victor having a nicer looking gun, etc. something small like that. because as it stands right now the average 41 year old viewer who watched the show once only knows and will only ever know victor and tyrus as those two guys in the background who do random stuff for gus with no clear motivation. just the personification of "On it boss (salute emoji)". and to be honest this is true for a whole lot of fans who do watch the show multiple times and enjoy thinking about it more in depth, because on screen we barely have anything about the two.
and to be clear i'm not trying to say we should have an episode just for them or something like no i understand they're side characters. i understand we don't need all that. and i understand this is also primarily Jimmy's show. but it's not like these two are on the same level as like, arlo or paige and kevin etc. these guys have been around since brba. victor was literally introduced in the same episode gus was. and they are a huge part of gus's story, especially in brba. s4 wouldn't have been what it was without victor and tyrus. and in bcs, ignacio's situation wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for victor and tyrus as well. and i just personally believe that if their goal with gus in bcs was to go back and elaborate on how everything came to be and show what he was like a few years younger, they could've dragged victor and tyrus into that. and i think his character would've benefited from taking that extra step with those two.
#gray.txt#and you know. obviously i personally have my own clear ideas of everything. and i'm content with what i got. this isn't coming from a place#of Well victor is my favorite guy so everything should be about him LOL. i know what he is.#but thats only because i spent like what? 2 years now watching random interviews and analyzing the smallest details within the show that#genuinely meant nothing while they were writing the scripts. and then throwing some random ideas at the wall to see if they stick.#and i just dont think everybody should have to do that LOL. and i think gus's character gets a lot more interesting#when do you do have this clear idea of victor and tyrus in your head and how he interacts with them. but 99% of people dont have that!#nobody fucking knows everything giancarlo and vince ever said about box cutter. nobody knows about the interview where giancarlo referred t#his entire business (meth and restaurant) as his 'family'. and they'd never think of that in those terms#because with the exception of his restaurant workers and mike#it feels like he HATES them LMAO.#tldr all i'm saying is i think we could've benefited from at least one 1 minute long scene of victor and gus exchanging words#where it doesn't end in gus snapping the phone in half out of anger. and also let tyrus speak his mind and have gus agree with him once#also yeah sorry this is all over the place but it is somehow the most coherent i have felt in months so this is as good as its getting sorr#sorry .#also to be clear about my earlier statement that’s a lie my idea of those two is not clear in my head whatsoever i just meant in comparison#to literally the average viewer. and my own personal thoughts about them aren’t even true it’s just opinions and guesses.#and i love a character that i can just say shit about but at the same time i think it’s fun to have idk something in the source material#that you can actually use while thinking and not have to dig around 11 year old reddit AMAs#and that money paragraph sort of came out of order what i meant by saying all that is like#i feel those two could benefit from a clear motivation for why they do all the things they do#and if we have neither personal reasons nor monetary reasons then it just makes them feel like one dimensional henchmen or something#came out of no where* not order you dumb fuck (< me)#also it doesn’t have to be clear in our faces or anything whatever you know what i’m saying . this is too long i can’t keep elaborating

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)
#twitter and other short form shit and everything being a Phone App On Small Screen instead of a Proper#Computer Website i feel like has just ruined the format of literally everything for me. Thoughts just keep getting more and more condensed#with detail and nuance taken away. everything over simplified into only the basics. blah blah blah. I've already probably rambled about thi#all before but it's just SO frustrating. I literally just CAN NOT talk that way!!! even if I try!!! I took multiple advanced placement#english & language arts classes in school and I literally never made below an A on any assignment EVER except for ESSAYS#where I would legit get almost failing grades just because I cannt express myself concisely. I took an english placement test thats made to#like evaluate your competency in a subject and out of the 102 multiple choice questions I only missed TWO of them. almost a perfect#score. But for the 5 open response questions (about articulating thoughts succinctly) I did not get a single one of them lol#I only got partial credit on 3. It's like I OBVIOUSLY understand the material and I know how Words Work and how to analyze and interpret#meaning and etc. etc. But it's just when I have to express myself CLEANLY I can't. It's always ''well you have very good points and you#get around to the idea eventually and I think it's very insightful - but it just needs to be shorter/the side tangent needs to be removed/#etc.'' I've always wondered if it has something to do with being on the schizophrenia spectrum and how that can cause disorganized#speech sometimes hmm..ANYWAY.. But I just naturally express myself in a very particular way which is lengthy and I can't rea#ly seem to control it. So it's basically like just.. being gradually pushed out of every place that won't accomodate people with different#ways of like perceiving and expressing or etc. Everything cannot ALWAYS be 100% 'Short and Snappy and To The Point' or a quippy one#liner or the Bare Minimum of information being provided or etc. Some peoples brains just do not work like that!!!!! Sorry I operate#in detail and elaboration lol. ANYWAY.. I still sometimes use random ''dating sites'' like OKCupid to look for platonic friends since#I never leave the house so it's hard for me to just meet friends naturally. And I just realized today that they added a RIDICULOUSLY small#character limit to their messaging system (2000 words?? augh). And also took away answer explanations (when you answer a compatibility#question you used to have a space to give detail and explain why you answered the way you did) and removed a few other features and it's ju#t like.. how the fuck is any of this actually helpful in terms of judging compatibility? take away ALL nuance and anyting that actually#is meant to tell you anything about a person? Bumble's character limits for your profile description are even more fucking insane and so#is every other disgustingly minimalistic place I've seen like.. OKC used to be superior BECAUSE it allowed for a TON of detail. like back i#2016 or something there was SO much data you could look at. long form question answers. personality trait summaries. etc. Now you have#SOO little to judge off of when evaluating compatibiility it's like. You'd have better luck just throwing a dart in a crowded street and#talking to whoever it hits. Why are people so fucking allergic to reading anything longer than 3 words and providing DETAILS!! It just seem#harder and harder to find any place to meet platonic friends where you have any amount of actual data to go off of and it isnt basically#just random 'speed dating' set up shit. AARGH. &I know 'oh just join a club& meet ppl irl' 1. erm..covid. 2.I mostly want to meet ppl#in places I'd like to move so I already know ppl when I get there. You kind of HAVE to do that online. bc I am not there yet.. WISHING for#Complexity.Com where ppl can upload full 900 page psychological files of themselves. MINIMUM profile character limit 30k words lol

#every time the argument is made that bddie shippers are acting a certain way and thats why people 'dOnT dEsReVe' buddie going canon#i remember being told from day 1 i was homophobic for NOT immediately gagging on Tmmy's dick and shipping bt#despite being bi myself so … sorry but miss me with the condescending bullshit.#no party is innocent here cuz everyone showed their whole asses this season#but one party did start throwing PHOBIC around for no reason early on AND NOBODY DID A SINGLE THING#bddie / eddie fans were just called beanstalkers very recently despite knowing the racist history behind using such a term towards POC#apparently now theres another horribly ableist/ deepy disturbing term being used? but thats okay!!!!!👍🏻#so i guess your ship shouldn’t stay canon or relevant either then right? YOU KNOW BECAUSE OF THE ACTIONS OF THE SHIPPERS!~ xoxo

Hey, that anon is a COWARD. I'm so sorry that happened to you!! Idk what's the issue tbh. Like you age him up with you! That's so cute imo! You guys are like an old married couple <3 warning too if you get more asks like that it's most likely the same people. Don't listen to them as they're just judgemental. I'm so sorry that you had to share something personal. I really am.
Ahhhh ( ꈍᴗꈍ) Thanks for your support, I'm so happy you don't judge me for this ❤️
I really thought I was a bad person for this, but I really should stop listening to random people's opinion. Like, I already know who I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Just a silly guy who's too obsessed with certain character
It's okay, I'm glad that most of you are supportive 💙💙💙 My followers are the best
#alkenetalks#Tbh i hate it when I'm too dependent on others opinion#also i just hate it when people water down terms and throw them around just to show off how morally correct they are#These people are worse then criminals istg#Thanks again for supporting me#Virtual hugs!! (つ≧▽≦)つ

i miss the olden days when the greeks didn’t have labels for sexuality they just had affairs and orgies
#waxing poetry in their thirst#yeah this is about riordan#personal opinion time#he just. doesn't do casual representation#its gotta be outright#a whole sentence#dedicated to exposition#for the audience#like the labels are needed to justify something#i think thats it#the labels feel less personally empowering and more like... placating?#and i feel like its so personal for a lot of people#personally i would not tell a stranger the labels i use to identify myself#that's so ... intimate... and to throw it around so lightly makes it seem comedic#and how he has his characters criticize other characters for being sexist or stuck in the gender binary#i. i wish that the setting was one where there was no such terms for inequality#that it existed but the characters and thus the audience were convinced that equality was the status quo and the goal#or that riordan went more intricate with it#putting echoes of social issues in moments of indirect characterization#cause it feels like the more those terms are used the less theyre taken seriously#i feel like moments of inequality could have had responses of 'that's a dick move dude. don't do that' and not providing fodder#for inequality by using it for comedic effect#i just. have distaste for that

What the hell are pro shippers? Nobody has ever explained it to me
basically proshipping is a term for people who enjoy and support ships that are problematic (adult x minor, parent x child, incest, etc etc)
#NOT ships you think are 'weird'#ive seen people throw around the proshipping term just because they dont like a ship#which is an incorrect use of the term#rarepairs (as long as theyre legal) ARENT proship#enemies to lovers (WHEN DONE RIGHT) isnt proshipping#yadda yadda you get it#ask#trainsgenderfoxgirl2816
