What do you guys think about this fit

[cupiidzbow]

can i be so honest for second

i don’t post it i don’t bring attention to it on here, i don’t want to show other people on here and i know i failed in ignoring it by talking about it.

I get racist shit flung at me so much and it fucks with me so much more than i’d like to admit , and like I know im an easy to target bc i love primates my sonas are monkeys and I know theres racial connotations that can be flung AT me that I didn’t ask for .

i know its used to be hateful against black people and people purposefully use it to be discriminatory and people use it against me. I can’t escape that, and I always have to live with the knowledge that people are probably giggling to themselves coming into my inbox calling me the hard r or someone coming on my pinned post to call me a slur or call me a disgusting monkey or my f/o will never love me bc im black or whatever .

and it makes sad that the moment I want to be upset and vocalize something about it people get uncomfortable and want to bail bc I guess hearing me complain about people being blatantly racist to me and makes me upset is too much . I don’t know i just wish I was allowed to be openly upset about it without people getting upset at me. I don’t know

re: that last poll i reblogged, one of the reasons i find both mpreg & a/b/o fic kind of morbidly fascinating after many years in fandom (despite not liking either) is how these kinds of fic often function as a way of mapping the tropes and gender dynamics of cis/heterosexual romance onto (almost always cis) m/m stories without going so far as to gender-swap either character

like, this is pretty obvious with mpreg centered on cis men, which is often just the application of common pregnancy-related romance tropes to cis m/m couples (note: im excluding depictions of trans masc pregnancy from my discussion here because i just think its a separate convo with its own nuances, and because i think much of the fic im describing here generally draws from ideas about cis men & women without much consideration for transness). however its ESPECIALLY apparent if you look at common a/b/o tropes in m/m fic. namely, the fact that an a/b/o universe is generally a world in which irl gender essentialism and the resulting sexual power dynamics between (cis) men and (cis) women are able to be applied to relationships exclusively between cis men-- with one partner being dominant, often physically stronger and aggressive, and socially privileged for this (perceived or real) biological superiority, and the other partner (who is generally the one able to bear children) being sexually submissive, weaker, and thus socially disadvantaged or oppressed as a consequence.

furthermore, something EXTRA interesting to me is that in this type of fic these power dynamics are very frequently not just social constructs (the way they are in real life-- pls dont misunderstand me and think im saying women are inherently biologically submissive to men irl or something), but rather almost always depicted as a biological reality within the world of the story. this type of au (at least in m/m dominated circles) offers a way of exploring and depicting what are basically misogynistic tropes without ever naming it as misogyny or involving women at any point. and i'm not trying to make a moral judgement here--i just genuinely find it very interesting that one of the main ways that misogynistic sexual dynamics (and, frequently, the violence resulting from such dynamics) gets explored in fandom spaces is through the development of an alternate biological and social reality in which cis men experience a mirror of those power dynamics, often turned up to 11 via in-universe biological essentialism. it strikes me as a way to engage with irl misogyny and its role within relationships with a certain amount of emotional distance, for better or worse. on one hand, it might be used to explore this imbalance of power without ever needing to depict misogynistic violence happening to female characters, but on the other hand also often offers a way to engage with romantic tropes steeped in irl gender essentialism in a way that is justified within the fiction of the universe and therefore do not need to be considered as critically

now i dont think this alone justifies this trope's existence or popularity (i'm sure a large part of its popularity is people just thinking it's hot tbh, which is fine im not here to judge), and honestly i'm not interested in litigating the question of why people write or read this trope in the first place, but i AM continually fascinated by the degree to which heteronormativity is able to influence what are ostensibly depictions of queer relationships

how r u a 'character designer' and have 0 disabled characters ...? 🤨

how r u an 'oc creator' and purposefully avoid giving your OCS with 'cool' or 'aesthetic' disabilities the 'less aesthetic' parts of it ...? 🤨

how r u an 'inclusive writer' and only have one physically disabled character, who either magically gets cured or is evil ...? 🤨

how r u a creative and still leaving out, tokenizing, or stereotyping disabled people?

Everyone is so "no such thing as cringe" until it comes to something even remotely popular or something you don't personally like or find annoying and then you turn back into cringe haters. you can't pick and choose!!!!

sudden epiphany while feeling down

[dazeddoodles]

Now why tf did I get hate for when I critized how TOH writers expected the audience to forget Alador's actions when there's people spitting worst takes about him like this

I was the biggest hater watching those episodes and even I could tell that Alador didn't only go against Odalia just because HE would be affected. But because it was the last straw that made him realize that Odalia doesn't actually care him or their children. Also

i think one of psychs strengths as a bordering on absurdist comedy is that it never becomes truly contrived due to effortlessly walking the fine line between “yeah we are dodging our own stakes because Genre” and “the natural progression of this plot demands stakes, don’t you think?” its in universe stakes are never actually dismissed but only in the background, irrelevant because of well-justified plot armour Until Suddenly They Are Relevant. and then they hit like nothing else because you’ve really been aware of them the whole time, and somewhere in the back of your mind you’ve been wondering when theyll become a problem, but you’ve trusted the genre to kind of keep them at bay for so long that it’s both completely a surprise and entirely expected when they come to the forefront.

shawn and gus constantly getting guns pointed at them is easily dismissible because it’s believable that theyll talk their way out 99% of the time. the one time they cant HITS. of course it doesn’t stick, because it’s a comedy, and you happily return to normal, but for those 30 minutes the script is so flipped that you are genuinely worried. similarly shawn being neck deep in a very punishable felony is something you can laugh off because most of the time in universe theres no real reason why his lie would be exposed. until the other shoe drops and the only way for juliet to trust him again after years of relationship development is for him to come clean, and you realize hes 5 seconds from risking a very long time in prison FOR HER … until she covers for him. and you accept it, because you have so much evidence from so many seasons that of course she would; she loves him.

television!!

i know this isn’t universal and for the nonamericans standing with us, thank you genuinely, obviously this isn’t about you. but if you’re not an american/us resident perhaps do not log on just to post vaguely about how disappointed you are in the us and how much you hate americans. your rage is not going to hit its target on tumblr of all places, it will however be seen by thousands of people who are scared for their fucking lives and many who worked incredibly hard to try and prevent this outcome. I promise you no one is more disappointed than us. like it’s pretty fucking dire right now and uninformed doomer jokes coming from those who aren’t facing this reality will just not be well met. people who are feeling more despair then they’re felt in their life are not gonna look at that and think that’s funny. if you do care then stand with the people who will be most effected
