the most frustrating part of being an elle greenaway girlie is having to sit through the rest of the series and watch everyone else do EXACTLY what she did and facing not even a fraction of what she did post-Lee.
AHHHH
#elle is very important to me#and i have many MANY emotions about how she was treated#double standards my ASS#“we need more complex female characters”#y’all couldn’t even handle elle#elle greenaway#criminal minds

in regards to the constant dismissal of his aroace identity, i hate it when alastor 'fans' say and use the excuse: "he's fictional, he won't get offended."
like, you're right, but it can and will offend us.
when you see yourself being represented on screen, of course you'd feel enthusiastic about it — representation allows individuals to see themselves reflected in the media they consume, validating their identities and experiences. but when so many people take that representation and decide to disregard and discard it, it is so fucking frustrating. we finally have another character to be part of the tiny amount of representation we have, but then people don't even care about how much it means to us? like yeah, alastor won't get offended because he's not real, but it frustrates and annoys us. do you realize that it's also technically invalidating the aroace community? that you're invalidating our feelings? imagine feeling like you're finally being seen because your orientation is finally being represented in media, and people just decide to blatantly ignore, discard, and invalidate it.
media has such a powerful influence on real life, representation being a prevalent factor of it. there are numerous posts that dictate how people went to watch a movie/show or read a book just because a character depicts their identity in it — obviously, being represented is an incredibly uplifting and validating experience.
which is why seeing an aroace character in a popular show is so meaningful to us because we live in a world where romance and sex are literally everywhere and prioritized above all else. (and it's pretty obvious that alastor's on the repulsed end of the spectrum, but even if he wasn't, at least make an effort to acknowledge his sexuality instead of continuing to portray him as allo; aroace folks can be in relationships but it's not going to be the same thing with allos' experiences.)
any and every representation matters, but why does that seem to stop at people under the aroace spectrum? like y'all can't even let us appreciate the scraps of representation we have. we barely have any, so are we really that dramatic for being upset at how people easily disregard and dismiss our identities that are being depicted on screen just like that? is it truly wrong of us to want to defend and maintain the little representation we have?
#like imagine if i asked you ab your fav character and then i said i hated them and proceeded to insult them#wouldn't that irritate you even just a bit and maybe even come to their defense?#like why would you be offended when they're not even real lmaoo#they're fictional and won't get offended but if you love that character then YOU might feel offended and maybe even defend them#ok now take that situation and put it into this context#except it's much more meaningful bc it's about representation#just a random thought#i'm not against shipping him or finding him attractive (bc same LMAO) or the fanart btw#i just hate it when people use bs excuses to justify their obvious dismissal & indifference towards aro/ace rep#like at least acknowledge his identity :((#sorry for the long ass rant and if some parts don't make sense i'm not in the best mood rn lol#and i've been wanting to get this off my chest for a while#didn't know double standards were a thing when it came to representation....#but here we are#alastor#aroace alastor#aroace#asexual#aromantic#asexuality#aromanticism#arospec#aspec#alastor hazbin hotel#aromantic alastor#asexual alastor#hazbin hotel#hazbin hotel alastor#aroacespec#queer

thinking about Marco watching the moto2 stream or in the box with Celin,,,,, Cele getting his collar iced like Marco did........ Fic ideas growing......
he's fr gonna be miserably staring up at the little tv screen in the box nervously watching cele's little rider icon hover around p8 the entire race... out of his SKIN becuase they never actually show him on the tv broadcast so he cant hyper analyze every single angle of celin's weird body to evaluate how in pain he is. at the end of the day he cracks a bad joke about being able to teach cele how to position the ice on his shoulder for maximum effect and cele just earnestly (face pink, sweaty and a lil miserable. HUGE contrast to bez, incandescent with pained horny praise last year lmao) pushes his forehead into bez's shoulder and asks him help in a sleepy voice...
#bez like YESSSS he wants my helps nad NOOOOO i cause his PAINNNN#tries to get cele not to race cele. DOES not listen. stubborn ass. hates a double standard so bad.#motogp#callie speaks#asks#bezz/cele

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it
So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.
Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role
Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong
Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself
Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong
Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder
...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).
I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.
#uhhh what am I calling this??#randomizedrobinsau#stephanie brown#oh my god I am so excited to figure out how tf to write this.#because she's my favorite of these characters and having HER be the first sidekick + the one who has a mentor/older sister relationship#with the others?? kickass. though I'll probably keep her and Tim's relationship as 'dating-then-exes' because I think it's funny#and then SHE can be the Robin who Tim got fixated on + figured out her identity?? holy fuck and then the angst of Tim later dying#Tim Drake#tbh I kinda wish he'd gotten a different position because 'sidekick who dies' Tim has kinda been done a lot with the standard#reverse robin aus. But it'll still be fun to write. Definitely going the Joker Junior route with this because Batman Beyond kicks ass#Dick Grayson#He'll honestly probably be the easiest. Like...his role has not changed much outside of being younger/not the one who defines this#But I still think it'll be good to see how well I know Dick beyond his eldest brother thing (which is my best way of relating to him)#Damian al ghul#damian wayne#oh this is gonna kick ass#Bruce does not want his son to be a sidekick but Damian just kinda forces his way into that role#and everybody doubts him because of his history with the league but he later proves himself more than capable#to the point that he can set out mostly on his own and still thrive#Jason Todd#Jason being the baby of the family is also something I have never thought about but holy shit it could kick ass#I really hope that I don't roll 'Jason must die' or 'Robin 5 must die' on the randomizer. I just kinda want Jason to live this time#But unfortunately I double-screwed him because he's on the 'must happen' wheel twice now. I did not think these prompts through#TBH I am so happy that none of them rolled their OG roles. because that would have been so fucking boring

There is something really weird about people who bailed on RWBY because they felt it wasn't queer enough for them. Only to go and stan a series with like, literally one canonized gay character and very limited story but act like its the gayest thing in the world.
Like what you like.
But I think in this case its pretty clear they were more interested in having something akin to a toy box or sandpit to play with; rather than an actual story.
But they don't want to admit that and so have to pretend there's something wrong with RWBY's queer rep to justify their interest in the new thing because media engagement is a contest I guess?
#RWBY#Vent post#I am talking about some very specific bullshit I have been forcibly exposed too#Like my pal the series you are saying has great gay rep has exactly 1 minor gay character#Its the hypocrisy that gets me not people liking something other than RWBY#Like what you like but don't show off such blatant ass double standards.

not to be obnoxious on main but classic literature is not global literature. it's western literature at best
#not to vague but like. name one book from my country i dare you guys.#sorry this set of posts just makes me so fucking mad. like i'm also guilty of this because my ass can't speak any other language but#books of importance from other countries outside of the western hemisphere. especially if theyre in a language which is not english#go largely ignored by the western world at large despite their importance to their countries of origin#and its a double standard to have to expect to know like. for the most part the literature of native english-speaking or european#countries. when i'm certain a lot of these people don't know any of our literature or their importance to us#its so fucking pretentious. like i wont say im not guilty of it as a monolingual english speaker so that list of classic literature#is whats most accessible to me but like christ. get your head out of your ass. they didnt even say something bad about the book. holy fuck#sorry im just so fucking pissed. and i know these people are white or some form of american canadian whatever#im not denying the importance of the book in question its just Your Experiences Are Not Universal. why dont you respect our literature#before demanding the same respect for 'yours'#'uhh but i didnt know about those bools and their history-' YEAH BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAPPEN IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD. ITS THE SAME OVER HERE#BUT IM NOT CALLING YOU OUT FOR IT AM I? EVEN THOUGH THOSE BOOKS ARE THE CENTER OF A MAJOR HISTORICAL EVENT IN MY COUNTRY#im so pissed.#woe be upon ye

after deducting the cost of materials (charms, findings, the little display cards they go on to) and, hell, even rounding it up an extra 20% for such things has "had to buy a £2 pair of pliers once"
right
after deducting that and being generous with it
i get paid roughly £165 per hour for labour making earrings. i'm serious. £5.50 for two minutes of work
#and that is - once again - still charging less than big corps whilst also paying more in materials#i could take my sweet ass time and spend a whole 5 min making one thing and still be on nearly £70 an hour#you tell me that's not just as unhinged as getting paid £5 an hour for yarncraft but in the other direction#you look me in the eye and tell me that's not a ridiculous development#i'm not also going to undercut fellow indie creators that's a dick move#and we seem to have generally established that £5-6 is a fairly standard price for earrings that also still undercuts the corporates#but when i say it's a bizarre experience i mean i get Lawyer Wages for one thing and Poverty Wages for the other. normally in the same day.#and the lawyer wages is the easier thing#if we all set the price of earrings at materials+minimum wage they would be about 75p btw#materials + double minimum wage + an extra 100% pure profit would be........ £3#when i say nothing in claire's should cost more than a fiver i mean it with my whole chest

She really doesn't have much room to talk. She has parroted the same BS lies for months, downplayed everything and used dismissive wording to minimize the reality of everything.

in my opinion you shouldn't ever talk about double standards for men and women without also talking about how there are a different set of double standards for white people and people of color, and how those standards affect women of color especially. leaving it to just "when a man does [x] he is celebrated but when a woman does [x] she is criticized" is honestly as good as spreading a lie, because it is only half the conversation and grossly leaves out how white women wield their specific role in society to enforce the policing of people of color. it leaves out how white women are allowed to express their grievances with an issue and are even praised for it but a Black woman speaking out on the same thing will be ignored or called aggressive. like you literally cannot equate the treatment of different racial groups within a gender group.
#i was scrolling thru ig (my mistake)#and saw a video of taylor swift talking abt double standards in language used for men and women in the music industry#and she literally just left it at that and people were praising that like we didnt already know. 2016 white feminism ass.#when there is SO much more that SHE DID SPECIFICALLY to aid in the double standards used to talk abt black women in the music industry#''but she never used negative language'' not saying anything at all about it makes her guilty too.

Why Can Men Show Nipples?
This post is long.... so I'm cutting it.
Like, why?
Yet women can't? (and I've seen the men that go "oh, they can if they want to," and that's just creepy. Well, maybe some women would like it. Idk.)
What about trans men who haven't had top surgery?
What about flat-chested women/enbys/trans/females? (i wanted to be as inclusive as possible..... i think i failed)
What about men with large chests?
Why are we letting children show their nipples?
I personally don't want to see anybody's nipples unless we are in an intimate relationship.
But when I told a dude once that I didn't want to see his nipples, he said to deal with it or leave, and then I told him I could call the cops on him for indecent exposure. (we were in a movie theatre..... a fucking movie theatre with kids running around.)
Then everybody got mad at me cause I was making a scene. (by that, I mean the dude and my friends, cause literally nobody else noticed us)
Even my friends were on my ass!
So I asked them "What if he was female?"
And they looked at me and went "That's different."
And I bout exploded.
Cause wtf?
(anyway, for clarity, you can get anybody for indecent exposure if you are offended or annoyed by seeing their naked body.)
(and there are places you can automatically get in trouble for being indecently exposed, whether man, woman, or whatever. I just assumed a movie theatre would count for that as well.)
#double standard#gender#who tf does that#in a freaking movie theatre#please sir#i dont want to see your nips#please put a shirt on#if society demands a woman should not show nips#then you should have to follow the same rules#look#i dont care what you show on your body as long as it aint your nips#you could legit be just wearing underwear and nip covers#and id be just fine with it#i am aware i am weird about this#but it is how i be#and it be my opinion#edit from later:#my goodness i sound like as ass in this post

the most devastating shit on earth is that i had a friend in middle school who was like my ride or die. but her only "social media" was Google Fucking Plus. so naturally i have lost her in the wastelands of that shitstorm. but i cannot find her ever again bc she has like The most common name on god's green earth so one facebook search for people with her name in the bronx yields like a million fucking results. so imagine if she's not even in the bronx anymore. 10 million results
#and if by some will from god she's out there wondering about me occasionally too She'd also be shit out of luck#bc my first name is different now. not even close to my birthname. and my last name is a nightmare#i didn't learn how to spell that shit until i was 6 and only so soon bc my mother set aside time to teach me specifically how to spell it#like it was its own school lesson. How to spell my own last name. so i'm not going to imagine someone could ever just Remember That#a decade down the fucking line#but i miss her often. she showed me inuyasha for the first time before rodan even did#we had the most awkward innocent scared quivering animal type lesbianism happening.#i would walk her home even though it meant making my 10 minute walk home into like 45 minutes#she lived in one of the projects and she snuck me in her apartment a few times when her dad wasn't home. that's when we watched inuyasha#one of my ''gifts'' i remember so specifically when we had decided we were dating is. i gave her. a tiny bag of chips.#blinks for a long time at you. i got her A Bag Of Chips.#💀😭 She should've killed me where i stood........#we once kissed because someone said they'd give us 20 dollars for it. We did not get the 20 dollars.#i was mad bc i wanted to split it with her and get snackies at the deli after school together or something. kills my elf#WAAAH i miss her. i miss da bronx too. one day i'm gonna drag rodan downstate to see it all#i want to take him to the bronx zoo and the botanical gardens. but also i just checked and nearly scumpt at the prices#37 DOLLARS..... 💀⁉️ i remember. (said oldly) i remember when it was. SEVEN DOLLARS!!!#whstever fucking happened to wednesdays you get in free. huh#i'm too scared to even look at the gardens now bc Nearly 40 tickets a person. oh My God. vomitworthy#wait oh my god what do thebuses and subway cost now. oh no oh no oh no#okay it's okay. it's a 40 cent difference. idr what a metrocard used to cost so it means nothing that it's a dollar now#but also Why the fuck do the express buses cost SEVEN DOLLARS.... 😭 brother bring that shit back down to five NEOW!!!#it's not even double the standard fare anymore. even if i round up the standard fare That's More Than Double. what#i hate inflation i hate inflation i hate#i'm rambling. walks away fast And my ass

Has anyone else noticed that the shoelaces that come with your shoes in the last.... decade or so do not stay tied? I don't know if it's a change in standard fiber blends (I've noticed there's far more nylon/polyester/other plastics to cotton) or weaving (I'm seeing a lot more round than flat) or a combination of both, but the necessity of double knotting my shoelaces has increased exponentially. And like. I have wide ass feet, shoelaces that come with shoes are already too short, I barely have enough lace to double tie.
#this post brought to you by the realization that the gay ass laces I bought off etsy don't need to be double tied and stay tied ALL DAY#not for just 5 minutes#I might buy a second set in their NB colorway too just for fun#'what's the problem with double knotting' standard laces are too short and sometimes my dxterity is#SHIT so unpicking the knot is a pain in the ass
