#can you tell I’m fucking pissed off

[makedonsgriva]

Some fics and fanarts love depicting Xie Lian as a weak little delicate doll who can't even raise a finger to defend himself and Hua Cheng is his knight in shining armour so as to say and personally that's actually kinda very weird.

XL spent EIGHT HUNDRED (800) years alone. That's like all the way from the 13th century to now. He spent a majority of that time in his own company and with no friends and emotional support system and encountered all sorts of problems from homelessness to starvation to sustaining serious injuries to being buried alive.... you name it. He did it all. ALONE. A L O N E.

Also, XL is canonically stronger than HC. Just because he does not need to use that strength does not mean he cannot. If XL and HC would ever come to blows (which they won't I know, the Earth will start rotating in the opposite direction sooner than that but let us suppose hypothetically) XL would SMOKE HC's ass. That's part of the reason why he never hesitated in following a mysterious ghost bridegroom on Mount Yu Jun: he has full faith in his own abilities and that he can defend himself very easily.

Oh also, XL is the one who defeated Jun Wu at the end. We see HC being very confident in his abilities and HC is no doubt scary strong but even he can't defeat JW. If we are ranking characters by strength, HC comes third. The strongest is XL, followed by JW.

Yall take the strongest character in TGCF and make him the weakest in your stories. As if XL can't snap your neck without even breaking into a sweat if he wants to. XL is a wonderful, amazing and such a kind and gentle soul because despite being capable of being a tyrant and having the reasons to be one, he still believes in goodness and kindness.

Oh and this is definitely not to again mischaracterise XL as a perfect mary su character. XL has his dark side. His benevolence only goes so far. Do not forget he almost did unleash the Human Face Disease on the people of Yong an, that he almost killed a guy once while busking because he talked disrespectfully to him. He is both at once. Anyway, I digress.

I think people need to realise that two strong people who can each hold their ground very well can be in a loving relationship. TikTok's "who did this to you" type shit is wildly weird for HuaLian because XL does not need anyone's protection. HC protects XL not because he thinks XL is weak but because this desire for protecting him comes from a place of love. Because everyone gets tired and HC just wants to be XL's shelter.

Yesterday, in NYC, a man lit a woman, who was sleeping in a subway car, on fire until she died. So the man arrested will be charged with terrorism as well as murder, correct? His attack was also threatening the lives of other homeless people (which it is assumed she was so). Surely he will also be charged with terrorism for scaring those people, right?

Or is it only terrorism when rich people are threatened?

Also, surely the fact the person who did this being an undocumented immigrant won’t be mentioned in every single news article about it, right? A woman was brutally murdered. Who gives a shit where the perpetrator is from, all we should care is that he is detained and punished.

Right?

We all agreed to this, right?

Or does race and immigration status only matter when a non-white and or undocumented immigrant commits a crime?

Same place, same police.

And I think we all know how differently this murder will be treated. And why.

It is 2024, almost 2025. There is no excuse for shows on Amazon Prime to not have subtitles in this day and age, especially with AI coming into play. You wanna know what AI can be used for? Fucking putting subtitles on your show.

And then have a human check just because it’s a good idea.

But good fucking golly, there is no excuse at all for something as popular as The Legend of Vox Machina not having subtitles in their third season.

(I’m really fucking pissed off right now, can you tell?)

(Brb gonna watch Person of Interest because Michael Emerson calms me)

Hot take; you can tell EXACTLY the kind of person someone is just by asking them to describe 2012 Mikey & Raph’s dynamic (bonus points if you can figure out if they’re either an only child or the youngest sibling)

if i told you i filled out my ballot out of spite this morning almost a month before the election would you still think i’m hot

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

pro tip: if a doctor is saying shit and you’re getting weird vibes you can stare dead at them until they shut up and/or call them out and watch them scramble

[louferrignojrofficial]

how is it someone i’ve blocked on both twitter and tumblr still manages to steal one of my gifs and reposts it?????

what is your fucking issue

[bluehairmisfit]

Not to make “tag vent sunday” a thing but Idk how I can go from having a great string of days where I feel happy and confident to just. Randomly fucking dropping. And feeling like the actual worst.

[aliosne]

Nothing makes me want to light all my belongings on fire and walk into the sea like trying to tidy up

[fancylala4]

People be like: we want more flawed characters in media!!!

The same people when they see a flawed character: omg this character is the worst! She’s just as bad as the villain, who wants to murder a whole group of people. They need to kill her off because she’s super annoying.

[mer-se]

please pick friends u can argue or have misunderstandings with and actually communicate with immediately after like, it’s so fucking important

slamming my head against a brick wall WHYYYY WON’T IT LET ME FILL OUT THE FAFSA WHY WHY WHY WHY

[gun-maid]

You don’t see the brass knuckles under my gloves. That’s good, you weren’t supposed to. You’re supposed to feel them, figure out that they’re there. If you don’t get it now, maybe the bruises later will help you connect the dots. I want to see you spit out teeth and blood, cough up clots and phlegm. I want to see you hanging limp against the wall, head lolling back and forth while you mutter nonsense. I want to kill you. Put you in a coma and use you until they pull the plug. Obviously I’m taking my anger out on you. Obviously I don’t care. So I’ll take you in death, too. I’ll beat you, cut you, shoot you, fuck the mess that you leave in my hands, the guts and bits of muscle and cartilage. Until you’re nothing but a stain on my carpet, you’ll be my toy.

peruse my DNI before interacting.

WARNING FOR ANIMAL DEATH/MUTILATION IN THE TAGS

I think I’ve figured out why it’s the stuff with my cats that gets me the most viscerally upset when it comes to my roommate and I think I need to tell him why that is… we had a talk and he apologized for a lot of stuff but I just feel like I need to explain why I react so intensely to him hating my cats/wanting me to get rid of them

[steviescrystals]

i’m fr gonna lose my mind :)

[lezbianz]
