Lithromantic culture is hating the unrequited love trope, especially when the char lacks the guts to confess.

People on Instagram: “wdym the show was portraying Loki as a villain and Sylvie as a hero, no one thinks that, you’re just fishing for problems at this point”

Meanwhile people on Tumblr:

So Sylvie’s the hero right? Um let’s see heroes usually try to do something to save or help other people and Sylvie has *checks notes* murdered a bunch of minutemen she knew were brainwashed variants and enchanted them to the brink of insanity to get information and the number of people that she planned on helping with that information is *flips page* oh just her? Well she was just doing it for survival right? Wait no hold up I don’t think survival consists of killing helpless people just because she can. She has to feel some sort of remorse or guilt for the stuff she did tho right I mean she said she didn’t enjoy hurting peop- oh nope sorry wrong variant that was Loki but she probably did all this because she under mind control and torture a la Thanos right? *looks back at notes* oh wait no sorry wrong variant again that was Loki this one seems to have been fully conscious while killing variants that were also stolen from their timelines the way she was I mean in her own words “classic hero stuff” amirite

Things Will Byles deserves based on the TikTok edits I have seen so far and their comments :

- a new haircut (gosh that kid had the same one since forever)

- better friends and crush

- to meet Eddie Munson and lowkey get him as a big brother figure

- to fucking play DnD with people who give a fuck about him

- a birthday party

Sometimes I feel like there really is no way to win at hating/loving myself. Like the less I hate myself, the more I start to hate other people and I hate hating other people and it just makes me hate myself again.

Idk its like just being genuinely critical of someone else makes me feel like I'm being spiteful and hateful and need to take a good long look at myself. And I don't *want* my hatred of other people to be justified because if people really are as stupid and inconsiderate as I sometimes suspect they are, that's awful and I really can't do anything about that... but if I'M the one being stupid and inconsiderate, I can always reflect on and change that

Basically I think I'm biased. But so is everyone

what is UP friends!! on today's rental car writing agenda is a Scene that is very fun and stupid

quinn and alex getting puppet-controlled by Evil to turn against each other while completely aware and conscious...... tense and angsty and weirdly homoerotic bc it's from quinn's pov...... zeke being violent and badass and melting some guys alive with a torch.... the surprise zeke appearance that ideally makes readers go "fuuuuck yeaaaaah!!!".......... nat making an ethel's head gruesomely explode from the inside out while doing finger guns......... (uncharacteristically cool nat moment)

(at this point yvonne is currently on vacation from the plot lmao. book two yvonne takes a brief self-care break from Violent Shenanigans while she figures out her boundaries and whether she wants to be involved in Violent Shenanigans or nah)

(she does)

anyway. yeehaw

wrong blog as per usual but ive been thinking about it again lately but. the way akira(&co) realizes owen wasnt responsible for nicholas entire thing during pt1....cuz owen enjoys being mean....so when he doesnt seem genuine with it it gives away something else is going on (owen actually not rmbring the situation), but its the entire thing of how much akira reads into their expressions (and the billion of lines of how theyre imaging a scene they were told or what someone must be feeling/thinking) & that brad mentions it during his entire speech during pt2 (along w akira asking him first if hes annoyed, when brad had more issue w akiras overthinking rather than the assignment itself)

No that thread going around about whether it's voyeuristic to watch sex scenes in films because the characters can't consent absolutely does my head in because that's an atmosphere that filmmakers cultivate!!! Making the viewer aware of the camera, of the fact that they are a third party watching, genuinely interacting with the camera - not just characters breaking the fourth wall, but directors putting thought and intention behind the camera as the audience's viewpoint - that's a thing!! IDK I don't know film but there's probably a word for it. Does the audience feel like a fly on the wall or a participant or a voyeur? Who is the character of the audience in this story? Thinking about whether you have "permission" to be watching whatever is happening on screen, what it means for the action to be viewed, is one of my favourite ways to analyse a story and what I'm about to say is kind of condescending but: you could HAVE that discussion and think about all this in a storytelling context if you actually cared about stories and analysis and digging into the meat of the media you are consuming!! Engage with it as art!!

oh also can people stop saying that literally every single tiny fucking thing is ableist. like hi physically disabled neurodivergent person here, able bodied people are really out here claiming that everything ever is ableist in the most performative way imaginable, doing nothing to actually help disabled people and just speaking over us instead, pushing an inaccurate idea of what disability is and how disabled people are. for instance, you all seem to think we’re unintelligent as fuck, and you also think that all physically disabled people? cant go outside? you infantilise us and generalise our needs, when disability is so complex and each individual has a specific set of needs to be met that could be contradictory with another’s. you love to coddle white neurodivergent people, shielding them from criticism for racism by claiming that ‘they don’t understand’, thereby enabling racism from white neurodivergent people and also reinforcing the infantilisation of disabled people as a whole. this also suggests that kids are like? naturally racist ??? literally what the fuck like go outside get off the internet stop pretending to give a shit about disability when all you really want to do is enable racism and still somehow get woke points on twitter. like do i even need to mention how the only activism you see about physical disability from able bodied ppl is saying that the phrase go outside is ableist. you guys go on and on about autism and adhd (not the only disabilities in the neurodivergent bracket anyway) in an uneducated and gross way and just ignore every other fucking disability all while claiming to be suuuuch a good ally. shut the fuck up. stop making jokes about diabetes or pay me a tenner for each fucking one so i can afford better medical equipment

Honest question (but idk if there’s an answer)

How do people handle having online friends?

:( (can’t think of a better word than handle lol, just like how do people deal w online friends? idk those words all sound negative i just mean how do people go about it? sksj)

I could and would never abandon mine but it does make me sad that it’ll (imo/mostly) never be the same as an irl friendship. Like I just wanna hang out with you and go places and have fun but we live 20000 km away from each other but also I know for a fact even if I found out a really really close mutual lived in my STREET i’d be too nervous to meet them. But yeah it just makes me more sad than happy sometimes if I’m honest bc I like you so much and just wanna hug you and hang out irl but I know we never will

So yeah ig the question is .. how do people not get too attached? Or how do you maintain a healthy distance? Cause yeah it’s obvious that it’s just online but you’re still talking to a real person and my brain is confused lol

[persistent-wallflower]

A bit tired of having to deal with my mind, ngl. 🤷‍♂️

[athinglikeasong]

thinking about how. i kind have a bit of a perpetual brain fog. i have so much trouble thinking a lot of the time, i stumble my way through very simple concepts, i genuinely cannot fucking tell whats going on around me. thinking about how this is genuinely so fucking frustrating, so demoralizing, to be able to Know that im not fucking functioning but not be able to fix it. thinking about being treated like a child because i dont understand thing, thinking about the war inside me of wanting to be treated like the adult i am versus my inability to function on my own. thinking about how at the core of it, its not even really about the treatment, but just. the disdain and pity that comes with it. thinking about how part of me wishes i were high enough support needs to not be able to tell how high my support needs are. thinking about how i dont even know if these actually are NEEDS or if theyre just me not handling the adult world well for a reason that isnt good enough. where is the line between stupid that deserves mockery and stupid that is pitied? when do you cross into "oh no, its ok sweetie, you cant help it"? when is it no longer my fault? i am trying so fucking hard all the time to push through the swamp that is my brain and function as a person but my brain just doesnt. fucking. work. what happens, then, when i am inevitably alone, when no one else is around to be the adult for me? where is the line that my inability to function is something worth saving me from. and. which side of the line am i on.

Problematic media isn’t the problem, people who refuse to actively engage with it are.

[pepprs]

it’s literally hilarious when i like… man i don’t understand it. when i say something either explicitly or indirectly (but like obviously) indicating that i am having a hard time and the response i get is all business without even a scrap of like.. are you ok or good luck or whatever. in THIS particular area of THIS particular institution? do i have the wrong number??????

[auburnfires]
