#but the discourse on it is so silly sometimes

Everyone's like "luffy was a minor when they met!" as if "minor" isn't based in law rather than ethics to begin with, and then they're like "but he's not anymore!" when he's literally only nineteen now and Law is 27. I don't understand. I don't get it. Why do we talk about the power dynamics in age gaps as if eighteen is the cutoff when that's literally just US law. Why is someone not an adult 2 yrs ago and now an adult 2 years later. Is it less that we find it unappealing because it would best be approached including the hurdles and difficulty to understand one-another emotionally for two people at vastly different points in their lives, and the actual on screen dynamic doesn't allow for much of that? Or is it that we think we're going to get arrested for shipping?

genuinely think it's good and healthy to follow at least one person in each of your fandoms who reblogs good gifsets but has just...absolutely dogshit takes on the show, or who ships that ship you despise. keeps things fresh. keeps things grounded. you gotta stay humble
#lauren feels things#fandom#this is mostly a joke post#obviously create the experience on tumblr that yOU want#you are not obligated to do any fucking thing on this website#but like....there are a few people I've been following on my other blog#(my real and anonymous one where I do most of my reblogging/fandom stuff)#and I've been following them for YEARS#or they're mutuals from the fandoms I've written fic for#and they just post the most out of pocket shit#or they ship ships that totally squick me out#or - the most annoying sin of all to me -#they post sanctimonious explanations about how the creators/actors/whatever#really feel THIS way about this particular thing#and all you other fans are wrong#(and like......no they don't. unless that actor or writer has said that#you have no idea they think that. also it doesn't matter what they think.)#but I'm honestly not kidding when I say this makes my personal fandom experience better#bc a) some of these people are just pals I disagree with!#and b) none of them are - like - toxic or anything#there's a certain kind of fandom discourse I do not tolerate#these people are mostly just kind of silly sometimes about stuff#and ultimately harmless#but it helps me understand a fandom better#and the fact that I've been doing it for like a decade now#means that i truly never get offended or hurt or feel any kind of way#when I see a bonkers take on something#bc I'm just like 'oh sure you're wrong but whatever good for you seems like you're having fun'#and sometimes ppl in fandoms take things SO PERSONALLY!#and it's okay that some people who make art you like or amazing gifsets feel differently about the thing you both love

The funniest kind of critical role "critique" is always going to be the 'they present themselves as if they aren’t rich/a company no I will not give any examples' crowd. Like what does this even mean. They start literally every single episode with informing you they are professional voice actors. They have clearly advertised sponsors. They have an entire line of merch and an animated show. The production value of the set is bonkers. They run a charity foundation. Do you want them to start every episode with a blaring siren and a warning saying 'beware! company run content! we make money!!' Are you just angry that they are friends having fun as they make a living. Do you have any understanding of how money works.

Always sparring a thought for how essentialist racism discourse has become, but especially today as I think of this guy that I met two days ago, whom I sincerely believed had origins from the Maghreb/Middle East, and who it turns out is merely part Spanish--with all that entails of historical intermingling, sure, but far away enough that he didn't have anyone to point to as a reference of racialization
Anyway, that "white" dude keeps getting stopped and frisked whenever he's in an airport

why do ppl think u hate loosemble what i miss
Nothing really, someone found my personal Twitter where I make no secret of the fact I bias ARTMS and follow Ourii accounts. Some people have an issue with that since they think it's "akgae" behaviour
You can all decide on your own whether you want to hate me for that, but biasing the other group doesn't mean I have a problem with Loossemble members.
I wish we could all be a little more real about the fact the group is split and people are going to enjoy their current projects differently from now on

me looking at my own blog: god i wish this bitch would stfu
#liz speaks#i just say things man#and i think it's so fucking funny that people on here take me as seriously as they do#i'm like...the least serious person you're ever going to meet#also why do people get so pressed about a random person's opinion on here?#i literally don't make policy dude#all i said was i think some silly little thing about some silly little fandom#and suddenly i've declared war on an allied nation or something? idk that's how seriously people take the discourse on here sometimes#like there are things that i think are serious of course#but yelling at me because someone asked me if i would make merch for my fics and then when i asked the masses about it#i'm being accused of trying to steal people's money? that's when you KNOW it's time to go touch some grass#this is a hobby not my profession. like people get so pressed about the most inconsequential shit on here.#my profession is being a silly goose. something i'm very good at actually#oh no did someone interpret your blorbo in a way you didn't like? call the national guard about it ig#idk dude sometimes i truly just want to pull away from everyone and ignore y'all#i think i'd be happier sometimes just posting my stories and not interacting with anyone#because some people (anons at the very least) make this place so bleak and miserable because they feel like they have to police everything#literally just vibe my guy. nothing on here is that serious. we're all just yapping about blorbos and reading/writing self indulgent shit#eat some grapes and sit in the shade or something idk

Today's one W: playing viddy games with friends actually cleared my processes a bit and it was revealed to me what was bothering me so badly. So I then decided that what was bothering me was actually really silly and decided I shouldn't be bothered by it anymore because there's nothing I can do about it. Yay <3

By the Dreaded Thing you mean killing off Gabriel? He isnt even in one pic... I'm seriously scared...
[reference to my post here]
That is indeed the Dreaded Thing.
There’s basically three viable options I can see:
1. the Dreaded Thing is happening.
2. Gabriel is hurt/visibly changed in some way that is a spoiler for something that occurs (and for some reason they care about not spoiling things for once - maybe cause it's the finale).
3. the promo team is full of Assholes.
Those are the only possible scenarios I see at this point lmao 🤣 and I’m okay with 2 out of 3. I will be pissed over the other… (and then get over it after processing my emotions after 1-2 business days probably. the same way I’ve compartmentalized everything else I have negative feelings about this season).
Tumblr media
personally, I'm rooting for option #2. Frankly no one else should be in that damn hospital given the number of people that have already ended up there this season alone (and the Wyatt storyline will also still be going on at the same time I would assume)... BUT a situation in which Gabriel gets hurt and it forces him and Carlos to actually communicate could be fun to see. or if Gabriel got hurt protecting Carlos in some way even, that would be even more juicy to watch.

been seeing so much unnecessary bi mike slander on my dash recently. sometimes selfcare is blocking 15 people and going into the bi mike tag for an hour <3
#while we're at it im also sick of those condescending 'bi mike is valid too even if its incorrect <3' posts#istg sometimes people in this fandom forget that literally nothing is confirmed and everything is up to personal interpretation#why do some gay mike truthers get so pressed about the possibility mike could be bi huh#ive never seen the same level of aggression from any bi mike truthers about gay mike hcs . ive only seen it from gay mike truthers#obv a lot of gay mikers are great and chill and know how to be normal but there are some people out there who seem to be basing their#entire byler experience on being as biphobic as possible lmao#in the most smug condescending way!! its so annoying!! ive seen people genuinely claim gay mike is Confirmed Canon#and bi mike is just a silly little incorrect hc for people who arent as invested and arent watching the show correctly#ive NEVER had this much trouble w biphobia in fandom before. in all my 12 years of being in fandom#and sorry but im sick of pretending its not happening. anyone who is rolling their eyes at this or thinks im being melodramatic:#its not even about mikes sexuality its about how the discourse is really revealing some peoples true colours wrt general biphobia#idc if mike is gay but i DO care if you have a problem with other people hcing an unconfirmed chara as bi#anyone who doesnt think theres any biphobia in byler fandom needs to unfollow me actually.#ive seen too many horrendously awful takes and blatant misunderstandings of the concept of bisexuality#for people to say its not happening. bc it is .#anyway didnt mean for this to turn into a vent post but ive been feeling this for a while#might delete this later and write a proper vent post thats more coherent at some point but for now im too tired for that#so have incoherent venting ig#me.txt

man these ship wars, specially back in the day, were so silly. Like my man (or my woman, or my enby), you are really fighthing with a strange online about who should be with who? Are you what? The parent of the character to say "NO, HE IS THE BEST OPTION". Well, not so silly sadly because people got harrased sometimes because of that, but still man.
