#dont have justification for this

[voltaical-art]

im in agony. a little self indulgent but I think wyll deserves to be told he's loved and have a small breakdown about it

This is your reminder that you can just not like people and things

You don't have to have a reason

You don't have to justify it

You don't have to try and like them/it because you "don't have a good enough reason not to"

You can just not like somebody or something

And (this is the important bit) you don't have to make a big thing about it

You don't like someone who is part of a group you're also a part of? Be polite but vaguely distant from them. Don't hang out with them one on one and try to avoid sitting next to them but also don't raise a big stink if you do. Be vaguely pleasant and polite

If someone asks "do you not like [blank]" you can reply with something like "I think our personalities just clash sometimes but I don't think they're a bad person" which is nice and neutral

Don't like a thing? Learn the phrase "that's not to my personal taste" you can even add on "but I can see why it's popular" or "but I understand why you enjoy it"

"personal preference" does a lot of heavy lifting

Not liking a person or a thing doesn't have to be a big deal and it's kinda weird when you make it one about everything tbh

Racism and misogynoir are so apparent in fandom, especially when it comes to shipping because why is it when a white male, sometimes female but I see it more with the former, character is on screen with a love interest, particularly woc, especially if they're black, and even with all the emotional scenes or just moments where they look at one another in ways different from the rest, it's met with "No, they aren't dating/the show is not going to put them together" but let the other love interest be white as well and suddenly it all makes sense? Heck, the examples I mentioned above don't even have to exist between the latter for some to STILL go and believe this rhetoric (eg. some Jace and Helaena shippers because, even if these two only interacted with a dance but yet we see Baela console Jace, after he seeks her out, apparently it's to far fetched to believe that Jacela could be a thing?!)

Sometimes it could be a headcanon that, largely, would make sense (and oftentimes was birth due to lack of respect that the poc characters could have been given by the writers *cough* TVD *cough*), and yet you'd still have people dismissing it left and right and spewing hate. At a HEADCANON! And I'm not saying that just because the other person in the ship is poc that you have to ship them, I'm not, but it's very apparent to many poc fans in fandom that unless the characters are swapping spit and doing the nasty, the possibility of them being viewed in any romantic lens feels too much of stretch even though their white counterparts don't have to jump through the same loops.

Just wanted to let y kno that people are accusing you of being a zionist and all that? Idk if its true but im assuming it isnt

I support Palestinian liberation, think the government of Israel is absolutely committing a genocide (& is awful in many other ways), and that Western nations are invested in Israel to help further their own imperial goals in West Asia. However I also think this situation is not 1:1 comparable with Western colonial states like America & I'm concerned with how many people (largely white, large Western people) have taken an extremely black and white view of this issue where "says nuance is important" is synonymous with "denies Palestinian oppression." There is a real and bipartisan antisemitism issue here & a lot of people are not taking seriously enough how antisemitism & the legacy of Jewish oppression shapes this issue in ways which make it fundamentally different to talking about White Christian colonization of America.

I am an anarchist & have no attachment to any state's existence. My only hope is that the war ends & a way is found to have everyone in that region (including Palestinians who have been forced from their home and current Israeli citizens) living safe, fulfilling lives in a community which is free from the control of imperialism and other forms of injustice.

im thinking about kubosai where kuboyasu is considering whether or not he should confess to saiki, and saiki gets tired of listening to his thoughts being like "ugh but i dont think he likes me back!" so he starts trying hard to make his feelings known, but his pathetic loser ass literally doesnt realize that what hes doing is called flirting

Do you like Robin as a character or is she just a quirky lesbian to you.

I want to put together a IWTV reading list outside of the books, but ik that if I begin that list with The Delectable Negro and Orientalism white people will run for hills screaming

[katsettee]

I totally get people talking about rottmnt and not being into because of the cartoony madness and exaggeration. I get it, it’s grating for some

But that acceptance goes OUT the window as soon as the same person vehemently swears up and down 2012 is the best tmnt rendition 💀💀

The incest one??? With the horrible writing? THAT one?

[yuridovewing]

still get so annoyed over the choice to make tigerheart leader and then not even bother changing his leader name. “oh its symbolic-“ for once i dont care about symbolism, its crummy to make it so that two extremely important characters (one being the former main antagonist of the series) share the exact same name and appearance with little to distinguish them from one another beyond personalities (and then trying to ignore that personality and go “oh erm actually he is just the other tigerstar teehee!”)

its so pointlessly confusing for literally no reason. calling him tigerstar II wouldve been silly but itd have been something. something to separate him at a glance. but nope. nothing. just a big ol fuck you to the audience, and an especially big fuck you to anyone with reading comprehension issues

stableboys has taken over my mind i adore them so so so much

[xysidhequeen]

I adored the new chapter I get the feeling that Dick fully approves of Danny as Jason's boyfriend. Like Saving Jason from a second death and helping him adjust to the powers that came with his revival gave him major brownie points in Dick's eyes. But being generally a good person and having a similar sense of humor to himself means that Dick will skip the shovel talk and get to teasing Jason about his crush.

I literally can't wait for Dick to see Jason in Ghost mode. I get the feeling that Dick even though Jason hasn't told him his new name yet is going to recognize him immediately. I get the feeling that the magical rings of transformation that halfa's have are both going to be a great source of teasing and Evny. Teasing because doesn't the phrase magical girl transformation sequence ring any bells? Envy because Jason can now go from civilian to hero in less than the second.

Dick definitely approves of Danny as boyfriend material for Jason. Yeah he kinda chewed him out, but that just means he'll protect Jason. And Dick gets a brother in law who will indulge him in a pun off so Dick can't really lose here. I can't wait for Dick to show up again, he's already a favorite of mine to write and I didn't expect that at all. I'm actually going to have a minor new subplot added to the story where we deal with some stuff that apparently was happening to Dick around the time Jason came back (someone unfortunately informed me of Canon events. I asked for it. I just didn't expect them to be so awful, the events not the person)

Dick, meeting Phantom and Red Hood for the first time: my brother senses are tingling

Phantom: hey Di-

Red Hood, shooting Danny to shut him up: The fuck you want here hero?

Dick: >.> yo Jason you can stop pretending. There's like 5 people in spandex with a body type like yours and I know none of them would willingly come to Gotham

Red Hood: Well shit.

Dick will have so much new material to tease Jason with. He'll just start playing random magical girl show openers everytime he sees him. Even in costume. The goons are really confused because now they're getting beat up while the Sailor Moon intro plays in the background and WHY DOES IT FIT?!

A treat for giving me interaction which fuels me

"Mmm, time to play whack a clown," Dannt sung softly as he twirled the bat, rings of light covering him and shifting his form to a more comfortable one. Danny let invisibility wash over him as gravity ceased holding any command over his body.

Danny took to the air and flew off, heading unerringly in the direction of the Asylum, the feeling of fear and rage growing as he approached.
