#common sense i fear

[tofupixel]

trying to get over my need to clarify myself to everyone who misunderstands me and just let it go

esp with the recent plagiarism stuff some, people just spread the most bad faith interpretation (not sure if on purpose or just actually confused?)of what i was saying and people will ofc read it and believe it

but theres only so many times i can clarify this stuff and my full thoughts are out there if people want to read so i got to let it go atp 😀

dont project a fully realized nuanced opinion onto a 3 sentence meme post

man arcane fandom is insane rn, why did i just read a whole comment thread of someone saying liking caitlyn is morally wrong. liking a morally not great character doesnt determine your morality at all?? supporting their actions maybe but liking them and having discussions reasoning why they do what they do is better than 'bad person end of story'

I still remember how the fandom treated Hen and Karen as a characters during the whole "Hen cheats on Karen" situation. But all of a sudden when Eddie does the exact same things extremists be babying him like he was the one who got cheated on. Common sense guys, common sense.

friendly reminder that if you genuinely want something to be talked about more, maybe talk about it more instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you. start a conversation

If You're Anti-Proship then you are pro-harassment. That's literally it. No debate to be had. Proshipping means you are Anti-Harassment. Everyone was a proshipper a few years ago, it just didn't have a name yet. New fandom culture is all about making everything a "safe space" and when you have an opinion that's outside of the norm they dogpile you and suddenly their safe space isn't so safe??

If you want to have a safe space for EVERYONE then you can't be anti-proship because that doesn't make sense.

what part of "18+" do minors not understand?? it's maddening

[riexlu]

proships? on a proship website? it’s more common than you think!

seeing antis on ao3 is so funny because babe what are you doing on the proship site complaining about seeing proship shit on there

[proshipwanderer]

“why do i see proship stuff on social media ALL THE TIME 😡😡” idk probably because you keep interacting with proship accounts + their posts and algorithms feed you the stuff you interact with?? and you refuse to block people for some reason? just a thought

[gigigazelleloves]

Wait sorry did that last anon just imply that a man would never cheat on a woman if he was sexually attracted to her???

Oh honey no...

Yeah basically. In that theory I guess Jay-Z, Dave Grohl, Kevin Hart, and Adam Levine are all gay men according to their not well thought through logic.

It’s wild to me that I have seen takes about how Tamlin should have stopped his father and brothers from killing Rhysand’s mother and sister as if he isn’t 14-15 (maybe 16) years old at the time. He is a child, especially for a species that lives forever! His older brothers were willing to kill Tamlin just for expressing an interest in being High Lord and we know his father was something nasty. What young teen is going to be able to go against a group of family, especially ones that have tormented him? He’s out numbered and terrified of them.

Tamlin is incredibly powerful, but I remember something in ACOTAR about him keeping his full abilities on the down-low to avoid provoking his brothers and father. He was so scared of his family that he tried to hide his incredible strength from them. How terrifying would it be to watch your friend’s family be killed at the hands of your own father and brothers and think you can’t do anything or they’ll kill you too. Tamlin doesn’t believe in himself, he thinks he’s nothing more than a killer, and so yeah! Of course this traumatized child would be unable to do anything.

(Plus we don’t even know what happened while Rhysand’s mother and sister were killed. Tamlin very well could have been dragged along or forced to watch.)

i feel like people don't understand that rhysand didn't stop elain and azriel from kissing because he doesn't want them together, but because he knows azriel would easily defeat lucien in the case the autumn court boy invokes the blood duel.

sorry but i will be bitter

please stop putting headcanons and ship art and such into the canon jiang cheng tag. its genuinely making it difficult to actually find good posts and discussions about his character.

and no, somebody saying that fanon jc is wildly different from canon jc is not being an anti, its just pointing out the obvious

i think that — and according to some people i am going to sound like an anti — the fanon jc stans need to cool it. you’re not “reclaiming the tag” you’re annoying. this tag was made to not disrupt Fanon discussion. it is here to depict and discuss Canon jiang cheng.

recognising that other people don’t hold the same opinion as you is a part of maturing

i feel myself thinking “hey guys maybe don’t be weird to sean about beatles rpf? that’s kinda gross.” and then i think “he did just post the most conservative brain rot fox news woke mob bullshit you’ve ever seen in your life.” so….maybe this is divine retribution actually

I haven’t even watched this yet but I’m posting it here because truly, not enough people are taking this election seriously and it is giving me violent flashbacks to 2016. By all means take your time figuring out how to vote. Make sure you are fully informed. Make sure you fully understand the consequences before you decide. And once you do, I don’t think it will take very long to choose who to vote for.

If you’re already voting and feel like this doesn’t involve you, maybe consider how you can help others understand the importance of this election. Can you talk to someone in your life about it? Can you send postcards or texts? Or call voters? Volunteer or canvass? It’s tempting to sit on the sidelines and think you have no role in what happens here. That it’s simply up in the air and out of your hands. But if there’s one thing we should have learned from 2016, it’s that every single vote counts.

I’ve seen so much discourse about this election and far too much of it discounts the power you - specifically young voters - have to change things. “Voting doesn’t matter” “it didn’t change anything” Statements like these are not only meant to disenfranchise you, they are also blatantly untrue (see below - the two potential futures depending on the outcome of this election are, to understate it, substantially different). I could make a whole other post about the enormous list of things that have changed for the better because we voted in 2020 - and 2021, 2022, and 2023, by the way - but the point is, please don’t silence yourself by not voting because a random person online posted rage bait that told you it’s not cool. Instead, educate yourself about the choice and work toward the democracy you want to live in. Vote.
