"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.

#to be deleted probably #i think aid should be REQUIRED to be bipartisan #ppl shouldn't suffer bc of how they vote. sorry. i'm never gonna be like ''ah yah x area deserves it''#..... they're people. they're human people. what the fuck is wrong with you.#this is nonspecific bc it's the same argument every time it involves things the right wing could have prevented #oh she died in childbirth bc of abortion laws? well nows not the time to make it #well he died bc his boss made him work during the tornado? well let's not make this #ohhh they died in a school shooting? thoughts and prayers let's all not make #there's a big fucking natural disaster that is strong evidence for oncoming ecological collapse?#welllllllll leTS NOT MAKE IT FUCKING POLITICAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 #WHEN WAS THE TIME???????????#PREVENTION HAS ALWAYS BEEN BETTER THAN WOUND CARE.#> stabs u . oh sorry that wasn't political #but also good luck in the hospital good luck with insurance good luck with medicine #good luck with disability support good luck w/ur job and taking time off good lucK!!!#refusing to allow politics into the matter means they get to shrug their shoulders and absolutely #refuse any fucking ACCOUNTABILITY #THEN WHAT WAS THE JOB FOR??? WHY DID I GIVE THEM THIS JOB???#WHAT IS LITERALLY THE POINT OF ELECTED OFFICIALS

The more I hear about that set the more I assume it was a melting pot of stress and tempers and arguments. And ngl it doesn't surprise me. This is what I was wondering.

Do I condone what I feel th**trebo*rd thread suggested (without evidence of any kind not even mild context which is needed when this is not a common view of someone even from DM) of someone being nasty and short with crew?

No

Not at all - that isn't adult behaviour. You're better than this. This is not acceptable at all. Especially from someone who's usually "drama free".

Do I genuinely wonder if this was caused by set and/or was a result of winding up?

Yes.

Yes I do. If I spent 12-16 hours a day in what seemed to be a melting pot of mess and stuff and wound up enough someone did something trivial, I'd snap at them.

But until evidence is coming out of what happened (bar the one line of "X is equally as a diva as Y") I'm saying from the context it was a one off/happened now and then from the person not always being there. aka. it kicked off a lot but wasn't constant and it was just a coincidence it was a lot while there were there.

But yeah. The amount of mess so far that press tour is gonna be bribe central.

edit: I THINK *THAT* ATTITUDE ARTICLE IN 2018 (MAYBE 2019) WAS THE ANSWER - WATCH IT BE HIS WEIRD "RITUALS" BECAUSE HE WAS JUST VERY STRESSED THERE BECAUSE IT WAS A PRESSURE COOKER.

#writing this in the fanfest wait room #but yeah. all im gonna say rn is im not pleased that something kicked off but not surprised.#i said in thunder and also dms with mutuals and mates there was a temper #guess it showed its face in full #even though i have no need to see this movie ill say this that people's behaviour shouldn't overshadow it #its sad #if JB did clearly kick off at someone and made his behaviour someone's problem thats awful and i don't stand by it #but you have to give evidence #the lukes did when they hinted he was sometimes grumpy at them and though they excused it it was backed up #DM tea about him is always kinda that hes ok to work with and not nasty which points to this being a nasty one off #ain't gonna mention the affair - too close to home and not my circus #but yeah. witch set messy. who would of guessed.#edit tags #its that borderline 0CD rituals he laughed off kinda in 2018 wasnt it #that would wind up a runner #but sounds like that set was triggering it badly #and he wouldnt understand why its an issue or annoying #so its not his fault but still if that op like snapped at him for it because it annoyed them and he lashed out lol that was not great #anyway #i may be wrong but for now/no context is given its that

we need to abolish the idea that ancient greek myths and legend have a coherent timeline. they do not. for any given myth there are like 10 heroes mentioned that feasibly could not have been adults or even alive. herakles keeps showing up in places where he should probably be dead. anyone could be a suitor of helen. even herakles. even theseus if you count that kidnapping stint he did. nestor is alive for 10 billion years. time is fake and anything beyond vague generational outlines is conjecture

#the thing about classical studies is sometimes you gotta just accept that sometimes We Dont Fucking Know #a majority of our sources are GONE. we don’t have the full picture and its impossible to make definite statements off fragmentary evidence #is achilles older than patroclus? is he younger? NO IDEA. myth is a fluid tradition. who give a shit #all that matters is: is this guy the same general age range? is he young enough that hes got less respect? is he old enough to earn respect?#and if anyone cites wikipedia at me for this post im killing them with lasers #tagamemnon

Whenever fanfiction has Dean say he hates Cas’s coat or thinks it's stupid or ugly and he wants to see Cas out of it as soon as possible I simply must disagree. He kept that thing for a whole year full of rank water. He saw Cas back in his usual getup and gotar bonar. Dean loves cartoons. He loves costumes. He loves Cas’s coat.

#he wants to jerk off on it. who said that.#he wants to jerk off on it both on the outside (marking his territory) and on the inside (intimate and defiling.).#he wants to wear the coat and nothing else and jerk off and then give it back to Cas while it's still warm from his body.#idk who said that must have been the wind #this is a passing thought I haven't seen this recently #Dean does ALSO very much enjoy seeing Cas dressed up but he LOVES base Cas who wears the same outfit every day #am i projecting because I always dismiss when cas is described in other clothes and imagine him in the trench coat anyway. yes.#but there is textual evidence that dean likes the coat #also his 'you think it's crappy 🥺' 'eye of the beholder' comment #even if he DID think Cas's coat was lame. which he doesn't!!! he could never say it to him

Once again saw someone yell on here about how "nobody is going to report this aaah the media is evil", closed this app and not even a minute later saw a report with that exact content on a major news platform. Ngl this phrasing is rapidly being added to the list of things i won't reblog on principle.

#Its always an argument as to why the post is more believable or more righteous #And its just a manipulation tactic whether deliberate or not #And I'm not doing that yall #Like either give me solid evidence its being hidden or discuss whatever issue you have in an actual factual manner #None of this reactionary bullshit #Like the amount of 'stories the news outlets aren't covering' where i found an article literally on the front page of the apo #Or with like a single basic search on their app if its a few days old #Like at this point you shouldn't be allowed to add this to your post unless you have googled the topic at least once #We can criticise HOW things are covered and when and by who etc but stop lying to make your point more dramatic

I have to ask what drew vasco into falling in love with machete?

His snivelling runt ways were just that irresistable.

#no they were best friends first #it wasn't love at first sight #I think Vasco just gradually noticed that Machete is sincere and kindhearted and genuinely tries to be a good person #and it's hard not to appreciate that Vasco is known for having those qualities too his are just a lot more evident #he's an one person dog but when he gets attached to you he's fervently dedicated loyal caring and supportive #he's perceptive thoughtful and a good listener #sensible highly responsible and keeps his promises #does his part or dies trying even if no one is there to notice #he's learned knowledgeable and a lot more sharp-witted than people give him credit for and infodumps as a love language #their interests and ideologies overlap or at least complement each other #he has problems but really tries to do better and never takes any help he's given for granted #he always dresses well smells nice and has soft pettable fur #and he can be kind of funny and cute in his own dorky way #and Vasco sees how his presence continuously brings out the best qualities in him #and cherishes the fact he can be such a positive force in someone's life #answered #anonymous #Vaschete lore

Me: *tries to see what the Queen fans on TikTok have to say*

*Jim hate*

*”facts” that may or not be actually true*

*”Freddie Mercury was bisexual-“*

*Using Barbara Valentin as evidence*

*thinking things that happened in the movie actually happened irl*

*general misinformation about everyone and everything*

Me: aaaaand back to Tumblr I go

(open tags at your own risk, there’s a whole essay in there)

#Why are Tumblr Queen fans the only sane ones like what happened #Coincidentally this is also how reading a lot of articles about them and their history tend to go #When did we stop looking at the primary sources like how did some of these disconnects grow so large #Freddie was just gay. YES he was out. YES he stated it publicly (he was still coy sometimes I will give you that)#No he didn’t know he had AIDS before Live Aid. Yes Jim was his major long term partner.#No the little people with trays of coke on their heads story isn’t true. No Freddie most likely didn’t take Princess Diana to a gay bar #No Roger didn’t accidentally give a fan a sex tape (there is a nugget of evidence that a tape was leaked but if so it didn’t happen like th #He locked himself in a TAPE CLOSET not a cupboard (this one doesn’t annoy me as much as the rest)#No Freddie was not ✨involved✨ with Barbara Valentin #No Love of My Life is not about Mary in the way people think it is #RESEARCH PLEASE I AM BEGGING #IT’S NOT EVEN THAT HARD TO FIND SOME OF THAT STUFF #ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE A JOURNALIST LIKE LOOK AT THE PRIMARY SOURCES INSTEAD OF CONFIRMATION BIASING BY LOOKING AT ARTICLES #FROM OTHER JOURNALISTS WHO ALSO DID WHAT YOU’RE DOING #REEEAAADDDD #It’s not even annoying because it’s about a topic I like it’s just literally the unimaginable gap between truth and reality #that is SO EASY TO BRIDGE AND YET. LIKE HOW IS IT THIS BIG OF A PROBLEM WHAT HAPPENED #I have written a novel in these tags so I’ll stop yapping now but GOD it grinds my gears #queen #queen band #roger taylor #roger meddows taylor #brian may #sir brian may #freddie mercury #john deacon #Tiktok #queen fans

the main fan-interpretation of charles' sexuality seems to be that he's bisexual but wholly unaware of it due to dad abuse/80's repression/whatever, which is confusing to me personally as i feel like. charles KNOWS he's bisexual—maybe he doesn't SAY it or ADMIT TO it due to the aforementioned abuse and repression but like he knows. and i feel like his hangup on loving edwin in a situation where it's romantically reciprocated is more about him not trusting romantic love due to his experience with his parents and what THEIR "love" was like.

#but thats just me #also i dont rly have any supporting evidence for this beyond just. vibes #and also the fact that 'i cant REALLY say that im in love with you back' is not the response you give to a love confession from another boy #-if you're fully convinced you're straight #magpie thoughts #dbda #magpie watches dbd #charles rowland

what is considered "beautiful" by society is inevitably sexist, racist, ableist, classist, transphobic, and bigoted. it targets and attacks any perceived difference, and it particularly villainizes women of color while co-opting aesthetics; as if features and cultural norms can be worn as accessories.

and the scary thing! you can see all of these things, know them to be true logically, and also know that you are treated better if you are perceived as beautiful. if you have ever been treated as "ugly", you know exactly how much society reviles you if you don't manage to scamper along and perform to their rules.

and how are you supposed to balance that? do you want a nose job to fix your broken nose, or have you just recently been seeing videos about how many people look better after nose jobs. do you want to lose weight to feel good, or is it that when you lose weight people treat you better. do you want to wear this outfit, or is it just the thing that's least likely to get you harassed. do you want to get lip injections for your reasons or is your whole reason that you don't feel beautiful unless you get those lip injections?

and the definitions shift. the goals get more specific. in the way that you only become aware of your tongue when someone mentions it; parts of your body are introduced as problems. i had never heard the term "hip dip" until about a year ago - and it was in the context of how to get rid of this. i'm 30, i know this shit is invented, and yet! i still find that strange voice saying but do you think someone is going to notice?

how the fuck am i supposed to say "this is my genuine choice i am making for my body" when i also know that years of my life have been spent socializing me to accept this as my inevitable fate? how do i know i'm actually doing this out of love for my body - or am i doing it for how i want others to see me, which will be lovely enough to feel loved? how am i supposed to recover when my unhealthy habits are seen as self-discipline but if i relax i'm openly mocked for "letting time win"? how the fuck am i supposed to say "i'm doing it for me" when i'm also very aware that i'm doing it to stop myself from being teased or demeaned? is it my choice if the other option is being bullied?

we are living in a hostage negotiation - either consent to the demands or spend the rest of your life being treated like you're a despicable person.

#i also have things to say about how gender plays into this #but it became like 1450 pages #so i saved the rest in a draft #btw? hip dips used to be like valued in the 90s & 2000s during the ultra thin craze #which is so fucking wild to me bc i am old enough to REMEMBER that people WANTED them #bc they're literally the shape of your bones. they're your hipbones showing. & you literally CANNOT 'target' that area #that would be like targeting your elbow. it's a fucking JOINT.#it is a place where you either do or do not carry mass. the lower ur bodyfat percent and the higher ur thigh & glute strength #the less that you will carry weight there #which is even MORE fucking cruel bc !!! the type of people who are already trying to improve themselves helplessly #are going to be aware of their body! and ur literally GIVING them an insecurity they LITERALLY do not decide!!!!#“it rounds out ur figure” here's something my guy! maybe people shouldn't have to look uniform and sleek !!!#maybe you just want to fuck a manatee !!!#if we're really at the point that you have to apologize for LITERALLY HAVING BONES.....#like sorry my legs had to connect somewhere in my form :( i will hide that from u. my apologies ur honor #(fashion bloggers gagging bc there's evidence other people have skeletons)

They pull the doors nearly closed, and Dande produces the Hat of Vermin; holding it out to Clover, he asks, “You wanna do the honors?”

the weeds (dandelion & clover) finally get to use the hat of vermin they bought

love and hatred each fill half the heart.

大梦归离 (Fangs of Fortune) 2024

(3/?)

#dont get me started on how they turned each other's love and gifts into weapons #i will never get over how lilun's gift is a rattle because he is a newborn in the human world #he doesnt understand the complexity of human emotions #zhuyan is the only one to teach him and before he can fully learn and comprehend #they are separated #before they fall out lilun is left with the only human emotion he knows from zhuyan: friendship #and zhuyan's umbrella is evidence of that human emotion #to shelter someone voluntarily expecting nothing in return #is the simplest yet kindest and loving action that is so human #in fact children learn about true kindness by understanding that it means giving without expecting repayment #in the earlier episodes zhuyan said that it takes a demon hundreds or thousands of years of cultivation to understand a single human emotio #if they never found the demon dungeon i believe lilun would have developed and process human emotions better #his heart was in the right place but they weren't #of course after being locked up for millennia any love he has will turn into hatred #he doesnt need to learn hatred #when you understand a person deeply that depth either turns into love or hatred #the actual CP we deserve #not my essay in the tags again #fangs of fortune #大梦归离 #cdrama #fangs of fortune gifset

why do people think Yevgeny wasn't Mickey's son? in 3x06 there was clearly no condom used (not that Terry probably would have let Svetlana stop to get one), but there's no reason to think she wasn't using condoms with her regular clients. it's not Svetlana's fault that she was a tool used to rape Mickey—the sole blame for everything that happens in that entire situation belongs to Terry Milkovich and him alone—so why does it feel like it's just another way for people to shit on Svetlana for something that wasn't in her control? it's not as though she'd asked to get pregnant in the first place...

#stop giving svetlana shit just because terry was one of her clients—between him and sasha do you really think she had a chance to say no?#her attitude towards mickey is s4 is very easy to understand when you think about the fact that a) she's his age or maybe a year older #b) she is a person who knows she has to take what life gives her and make the best of bad situations #c) her entire future rests (so she thinks) on her and mickey making their marriage work and he was absorbed in ian (which the audience gets #but svet has no context for) and thus her feeling threatened is very understandable because mickey also won't stand up to his father #so yeah of course svet is gonna see terry as the one person who will put things the way they're supposed to be #but! it's after mickey comes out and he and ian fight everyone in the bar that she realizes mickey could be an ally to her #and she extends a hand in friendship because they're both stuck in this situation and yeah of course she wants him to stop being stupid #about yev—as she puts it “baby did not choose this either” which leads me to think she understands mickey's situation a little better now #but yev looks so much like mickey and has those big blue eyes of his (also evidence for baby mickey being blond)#I get that the whole child from rape thing isn't fun for mickey to have to deal with but women have to go through it all the time—like Svet #okay rant over I'm sorry I'm just...it puts a bad taste in my mouth whenever I see it in fic or meta that yev can't *possibly* be mickey's #mickey milkovich #svetlana yevgenivna #yevgeny milkovich #shameless

personally I think the best thing that the joker sequel did for me was expose the exact degree to which how much of internet/public criticism is not based on genuine analysis of the content using social and cultural resources to support an actual argument but is actually adult children whining because someone took their batman toys and put them up on a high shelf for once and they, as a consumer, feel like they're entitled to throw a tantrum about it

#one of those 'if everyone's a critic no one will be' kind of situations #like every day I have to see 30 youtube thumbnails saying 'joker 2 bad' and then they say 'this scene was bad' and the only evidence they #give for their reasoning on it is 'it didn't make sense' and I want to turn into my english teacher and give reading comprehension question #like. if something doesn't make sense then why not examine the deeper reasoning that led you to that conclusion? why not then also entertai #the circumstances in which the situation would be plausible? you know? find some actual answers? but that is too much to ask of people #truly the gulf between a really well educated opinion analyzing the actual content rather than knee-jerking and saying 'I don't like it' is #far and fucking wide. I literally have only found ONE video essay that actually does a decent job talking about theme and the cohesion #between the two movies about the gulf between reality and fantasy which I thought was REALLY a good and thoughtful take on it all #but the rest of them are just like 'OOOOH MOVIE BAD MOVIE SO BAD'#like. you can't just say that!!! I know it's the internet and it's edged your ego enough to make you think you can #but some of us would like you to unpack your actual reasoning. but you do not have the capacity for that. clearly #go back to ninth grade for god's sake like this is a really basic skill for actually analyzing narrative and film and you do not have it #joker #folie a deux #joker 2 #arthur fleck
