Stop tagging brodinsons as thorki. They're two entirely different tags and I don't want to see incest in this tag, thank you

You... don't want to see incest in the thorki tag? Good luck with that. I would say you're a bit confused, but we both know that'd be too generous. You're just an asshole trying to impose your tastes on everyone else.

Firstly, it is simply the nature of this site that tags have multiple uses: they are for the person reblogging just as much as for others to search by tag, and while there are a few things that are generally seen as impolite (e.g., tag spamming and putting hate in the main tags), using ship tags for fandom material that the person reblogging it sees as shippy is undeniably, obviously 100% standard usage. You do not get to dictate how others tag things on their own blog. If you dislike how someone tags, you can block them.

Secondly, there is a huge amount of overlap in the content those particular tags applies to, and in this fandom that is a FEATURE, not a bug, so I will not be complying with your ridiculous demand. The only thing I have recently tagged as thorki that wasn't like. explicitly ship art by an artist who ships it? was a few panels from Blood Brothers, i.e., the thorkiest comic of all time. If you don't want to see incest, I'm afraid you are simply in the wrong fandom. It's baked in. It's been there since the beginning. All the way back to Norse mythology, Thor and Loki fucked. Deal with it.

Thirdly, I am fundamentally opposed to everything you represent, I do not care what you want to see, and I will be tagging more generously with the thorki tag every time you bother me about it. You can learn to block tags yourself or suck it up and learn to live with with seeing things you don't like just like everybody else does.

Now fuck off out of my inbox.

You’re a pedophile 🥰

I'm a sexy, horny housewife 💅 BJ doesn't want to fuck you or your boring OC or the Maitlands, he wants to fuck his 🕸️Beautiful Wife Lydia🕸️

I don't want you to die mad about it, though. Please, for me, live long and ugly and bitter.

[dukeofdelirium]

Whenever someone freaks out about some Pro-Mileven leak they read on Twitter, I want to ask them why they keep listening to ugly people.

I want to ask why they are so gullible and believing “leaks” with zero evidence to back them up. It’s as if they enjoy being in a state of perpetual fear

Stansas stalk you and are to cowards and weak to confront you

This is genuinely so hilarious, I can't believe I already have my own fanclub 😭. You blocked me and took screenshots of my post cause you were too nervous to interact with me awwwww. I would love to know what you think a character being a "girlboss" means, cause right now the definition just sits at being a "key female character" @littl3bird .

I also love how they're proving my point! They're acting as though liking Sansa and other "feminine" female characters makes them more feminist than liking "girboss/NLOG" characters like Dany and Arya. Cause we all know being a feminist is about sorting women into (incorrect) categories and deciding which are the better examples of womanhood! Never mind that calling Arya and Dany characters who fulfill "masculine power fantasies" is, in fact, misogyny. Meanwhile, their support of those characters is shallow as hell and only done so they can use them as props. It's so hilarious that they clearly think of Arya and Dany are lesser female characters and that they're in the right for doing so. They can't even pretend to be fair or unbiased for two seconds. They literally have in their bio that they don't want you interacting with them if you think Arya and Dany could get along or like them more than Sansa!

They treat people liking both Dany and Arya as some misogynistic conspiracy against "feminine" female characters. I didn't even say anything about not liking Sansa in that post, or anywhere on my blog. I don't have any "anti Sansa" posts anywhere and all my issues are specifically with her toxic fans who act like this...yet I'm called a misogynist because I don't support the fanon version of Sansa they've made. Guess what? Disliking Sansa doesn't make someone a misogynist and acting as though she's the sole victim of misogyny in this fandom isn't going to make her more important in the story. If you really defended female characters from misogyny, then why is it that you're fine with Dany and Arya being put down to prop up Sansa? We all know the real answer even if they don't want to admit it 🤷🏾‍♀️. They couldn't care less about misogyny, it's just become a convenient tool to use to attack fans of female characters who aren't Sansa. Notice how they don't ever pull this same shit with fans of male characters?

Before you deride anyone for being an "idiot", you should probably shit can the Meyers-Briggs pseudo-science in your description. You know, that way you don't look like an idiot who buys into that stuff.

Naaah, I still think that accusing a very anti-nationalist creator that created a very anti-nationalist movie FOR nationalism just because his movie used trademark brilliant Japanese nonverbal display instead of spelling stuff out like poorly written modern Western media IS pretty "idiotic". Waaaay more "idiotic" than MBTI stuff. 🌛 (retroactive, because I already did take my insult back several days ago)

I'll have you know that whereas MBTI is definitely not as binding and fails in what it tries to do (just like every attempt to strictly categorize people failed), it is actually SUPER handy to communicate a LOT of traits and patterns within a short abbreviation instead of a long essay! For example, people that know MBTI lore will read that I am ENTP and instantly expect me to be a lover of debates and "devil's advocate", be bad at talking about my feelings genuinely and sound hurtful without any intention to do so! If person chose to describe themselves with an MBTI label, it doesn't necessarily mean they are the type to take it super seriously, but often it is a way to communicate what to expect from their personality in a really compact form! Or at least what this person believes about themselves, which is also good for "communicating without communicating" :p Most people that have MBTI in their bio/pinned/whatever aren't as serious about it. Those that tried to choose friends/couple and form a collective according to MBTIs are long ago extinct, trust me!

I also found MBTI useful for some writing stuff. To define a type, you have to make 4 choices between 4 pairs of traits: 1) Introvert or Extrovert; self-explanatory 2) Sensory or iNtuitive; so, oriented more in "physical" reality and present or into past, thoughts and concepts 3) Thinking or Feeling; so, stronger at logic and thinking, or at empathy and tact? 4) Perceptive or Judging; so, an open-minded person that is okay with leaving loose ends or a person that needs clear distinction and final conclusion! Yeah they are very bare-bones descriptions and there is more to say about the 8 'letters', I am just cutting to the chase! I never passed MBTI test, I just figured which one of these aspects applied to me and it made ENTP abbreviation! Then I read the description of this type and could recognize a lot about myself. You can for example do that for a character you want to develop, get the abbreviation, then go read full description of this type and I guarantee you, there will be MANY things in the text making you go "damn this makes sooooo much sense for this character 👀" or otherwise inspire a vision of them!

I agree that people that get too caught up into MBTI stuff can be frustrating, and that accuracy of MBTIs is long ago debunked; again, no way to split humans into clear cut types works and we are all too different! Zodiac signs stuff is a similar problem. But, these things are good for communicating aspects of your personality quickly, for finding which sides of yourself to focus on and get "coherent shape" (very useful for my personality disorder ass!) and are good for WRITING! I've even found using MBTI descriptions as a help a good preventive measure from too much self-protection onto characters I am writing! You know same face syndrome issue in drawing? Sometimes the same problem is possible in writing personalities, MBTI is something that helped me to double-check whether I am doing this. Don't harshly discard a thing just because you haven't found an efficient way to utilize it! MBTI failed at what it intended to do but succeeded at being a good compilation of distinct traits and ways to think, act and react!

On the other hand, believing in anti-scientifical things is not necessarily a sign of being a judgemental, narrow-minded, "idiotic" person: a person is only an "idiot" when they make themselves be.

___________

That being said, I don't blame you for being strictly negative? MBTI craze, Zodiacs stuff and similar things have history of really annoying people wasting their time and being weird about what they tell others but that's not my case. In my country MBTIs are in general 90% fandom of memes xd I might consider removing ENTP from my bio in the future if I estimate people are more likely to expect the worst (like you did) than take it for fun after that """science""" has fallen but I just dunno yet. But I'd appreciate if you didn't use harping on me for a mistake I already apologized for to express your disapproval of MBTI stuff 🌛 Not only it is cruel, but also even UNDER assumption that liking MBTI stuff makes me an "idiot" your logic doesn't work - why would doing one stupid thing remove my right to call out another, irrelevant (!!!) stupid thing? This is like saying that only "perfect" people are allowed to offer criticism and disapproval towards frustrating situations and I am not here for this sort of attitude. Someone can be competent in one area and be a complete moron in another area, does it mean they can't talk about what they're competent at anymore?

[myfandomrealitea]

I think maybe you should get a hobby instead of discussing to teens and middle aged adults on why writing a fic about a 5 year old and their 50 year old dad based on real people is a-okay. Just food for thought maybe.

Bland, uninteresting, nutritionless food. Basically dirt. Actually; dirt has more nutrients.

Also; you aren't automatically ejected from fandom spaces after you hit the middle ages. Education and fun aren't age restricted.

(Kudos to the guy who made a kid at 45 though. A* for his dedication.)

[bciwasinlove]

LMAO I had two eye rolling anons in my ask box one was SUPER long and not worth giving time and energy into reading/responding but the other was shorter and I was willing to reply to but when I blocked the long ass anon the other anon went away meaning it was the same person. 😭😭😭

Their dumbass couldn't handle my post last night and the fact I said some who go to harrys concerts are just there for SM clout. Like yes he has a lot of dedicated fans but he also has a lot of for the moment fans bc hes the IT pop boy right now. Back in the day I use to get made fun of for being a harry fan and now some of those same mfers are posting about being at LOT on SM that shit pisses me off.

They also complained saying "at least harry isn't trying to allianate his fans who don't believe the public image/narrative like louis." Did one just forget about the 2 years of HELL when it came to olivia? And harry being pegged not only a womanizer but a homewrecker? Plus all the dates they went on? Pretty sure that allianated some fans just as much if not more than a 5 second comment on stage.

Also they mentioned streaming numbers and shit when big stream numbers doesn't always equate to fans. Some have really big hits but don't really have a huge fanbase and only have big streams bc x songs get added to popular playlists that millions listen to. And its definitely dumb to mention lou streams when we know damn well "they" have fucked him over in more ways then one when it comes to solo music. Li hasn't had new music in a while and his one album is mostly club songs he didn't really write so how does he have more listeners than lou?

[dirty-droid]

please check blogs before you follow. proshippers are included in my dni. s

Lmao 🤣 wild concept, but maybe DNI's don't do shit, ESPECIALLY if people don't look at it??

[xxx-theartofsuicide-xxx]

Dude, I follow Spike. He doesn't care if you ship beetlebabes at all, but if you're pushy about it, which YOU seem to be, it's an issue. Calm down, not everyone is gunna ship beetlebabes and that's ok.

Go touch some grass

- sincerely, another beetlebabes shipper

Ig if you would rather lick anti boot than support a prominent beetlebabes content creator being harassed by him, that's your prerogative homie. It's alright, I don't want your support. You have terrible tastes and probably don't create content that I care about. Block me and leave me alone, please. I've been begging you people to please leave me alone for five days now and none of you are respecting my boundaries.

Spike is an anti whether he believes he is or not. He suicide baits, sends anonymous harassment, makes call-out posts and documents, and spearheads harassment campaigns just like every other boring anti on the internet. He's also lying about his age so. Idk someone who cares more than me should probably look into that. It's weird that he thinks he's a safe person for minors to be around but I'm dangerous lmao.

I spent all yesterday at the playground with my toddler. We go to the playground 2-3/week and walk the forest trails. There's an industrial strength adult sized see-saw I can get on with my husband. It was a lovely time. You should check and see if you have any local parks of your own.

Edit: anyway, I'm pleased to inform my stalkers that this most recent cancellation has lost me a grand total of...two followers.

And gained me six lmao keep making me famous cunts

Edit #2: the fundamental misunderstanding bro is having here is that it's impossible to cancel me. I'm uncancellable. The kind of fan that wants my content would never forsake me for him. This method probably worked for him at some point in the past and he thinks it will work here but really he's just aging himself. Gonna give himself a stroke at 40.

thoughts?

i think opening that link and reading it was a complete waste of 30 seconds that i’ll never get back

[thescapegoatgod]

I find it quite hilarious that these are the very people who now magically understand the concept of retcons now that their ship didn't end up together.(even though that there was no fucking retcon, Sylvie just doesn't love Loki it's not that hard to get or see. Like this woman looks so UNCOMFORTABLE when Loki tries to be so lovey-dovey to her.)

Over the course of the past year or so (ever since I changed blogs basically), I've gotten multiple anons attacking me for "not understanding Loki" and implying (or downright saying) I should stop speaking about him and, of course, people's interpretations of a character can vary but I see "fans" say they haven't even seen the movies or that he was out of character *in.thor.1* (yea, idk either) and have to wonder how do we even share the same fandom.

I'm not saying I'm perfect but at least I've seen the media I claim to be a fan of.

[ileftherbackhome]

Please get some help, seriously. Having such an aggressive reaction to someone you don’t know on the internet, calling them bitch or cunt just for talking shit about an artist you like, it’s not normal or healthy. That kind of anger over time really affects your mental and physical health. Sincerely hope you find peace, take care

LMFAO, I called lesbunny a bitch for thinking that swifties think taylor swift is an indie artist now they're sending me anon hate because they're embarrassed they're sexism was so pathetically see-through.

If you're going to make an entire HATE post for a fandom, make sure you're not being blinded by sexism and AT LEAST hate swifties in good faith (here are excellent reasons to hate swifties: their white feminism, their racism, their SEXISM. Making a joke that taylor swift is indie is not a reason for hate).

Sorry it embarrassed you, lesbunny, but you were a sexist CUNT. Cry yourself to sleep over it.

[bitchimasnake-sss]

i love from me to you sm! 😭 like it aimed directly to my heart 😭 you're so good at writing stuff so, here i am asking for a zoro!fic where reader hides that she got wounded during their last battle and zoro founds out and our poor moss head thought reader was gonna die so, he confessed (i just love flustered zoro) 😚 n e ways, continue writing the best stories!! lotsoflove! - glasses of nanamin

i feel like this is your second ask cause of the "n e ways" but lol, eitherways that's such a cute concept!! i would love love love this (i tweaked the prompt a little bit to fit it better, but i hope you like it it still)

got me losin' my cool ft. roronoa zoro!

set-up: as anon asked!! you get hurt during a fight and zoro almost has a mental breakdown haha live, laugh, love <3

warning: a bit of angst, zoro is a dumbass. otherwise, wholesome!

roronoa zoro's feet pound against the earth and he was sure that with every leap he took, his heart sunk further under. his fingers were clammy. so very clammy against your soft skin. and he was sure the sweat dripping off his forehead and dropping onto your bloodied tank top was the last thing you wanted to see before you died.

"zo—" you rasped helplessly and your voice felt like graters against his skin. your chapped lips, almost closed eyes, the wound on your stomach and your week, blood-stained hand on it. he couldn't even bear to look at you without wanting to breakdown.

"stop talkin, please." he clenched his jaw tighter, the sound of teeth against teeth jarring. and although he refused to look down at you, cradled carefully in his arms, he could hear the desperate heaves that rocked your body.

he picked up the pace, ducking under hanging vines and leaping over overgrown roots of ancient trees carefully, so, as to not hurt you. the ship should be two minutes away, docked at the edge of the island and chopper must be there. and chopper would know what to do. how to help you.

zoro had to just deliver you to chopper.

but with his poor geographical skills, he felt like he had been running for the past thirty minutes without finding the ship. and he was certain the ship was docked only 10 minutes away from where the fight was taking place between the strawhat crew and a local pirate crew.

"zoro—" you started again.

why were you speaking? DID YOU WANT TO DIE?

"—don't use up your breath. please." he panted, feet still working to find the ship. where was that goddamn ship?

"that side—" you winced as you pointed your arm in the opposite direction. you coughed, wincing again before whispering, "the sunny."

zoro's head whipped around to look behind him. and at once, he changed the course. running as fast as he could, he soon found himself at the rocky beach the ship had been docked at.

"CHOPPER!" the swordsman bellowed for the mini doctor as he climbed up the ship. the reindeer was peering over the deck and when he looked at your nearly passed-out figure, he yelped in surprise.

"she got stabbed." zoro explained as he carried you inside to chopper's makeshift office/operation theater. laying you down gently, they both looked guilty as you groaned and clutched your own hand on the wound tighter.

"i need to apply some anti-septic, clean the wound and stitch it up." chopper stated, eerily calm in the heat of the moment. "here—" he gave zoro a sterilized cloth from his cupboard, "—apply it to her wound. put pressure on the area, i need to go make the anti-septic really quick."

"you have to make it? how long will that take?" if the swordman wasn't scared out of his wits, he would be surprised at how desperate he sounded.

"five minutes."

zoro looked at the reindeer wide-eyed. but the reindeer ran off, presumably to make the said medicine.

he looked back at you, putting the cloth to the wound and gently pushing down. he knew how to make the bleeding stop, he had done this multiple time. what he hadn't done multiple times was see you so lifeless, so incredibly overtaken by pain.

"hey." he found himself saying softly. softer than he had ever spoken before, "hey, can you look at me? hear me?"

you nodded slowly and relief washed over him. atleast you hadn't lost all cognitive senses.

"just focus on my voice, okay?" he knelt down so that he was on your eye-level from the bed. his other hand gingerly took ahold of yours. mindlessly, he rubbed soothing circles on your skin. he repeated, "just focus on my voice. yeah, close your eyes. i'm here okay?"

you found yourself closing your eyes, relying solely on the darkness of your eyelids and his voice to guide you to safety. his hand felt like a familiar weight against your stomach, the kind of touch that will renew a dead man and get him climbing back from his grave. his voice was sweet, too sweet to be even called his.

"i—" he paused, rubbing your skin with the pad of his thumb, "chopper's gonna fix you up, you know. h-he always does. i mean you're stronger than this. you'd survive, right?"

he's not sure if he meant to ask it as a question. he was sure he had said it to sound reassuring. but somewhere in between him uttering the words and you hearing them, they had turned into a desperate, desolate plea.

your chest fluttered underneath him, your breath strained. the face he adored slowly scrunched up from the pain. and he found himself talking even more.

"focus on me, okay? just me." he steeled his voice. and his nerves. "you'd be okay. you know, you always said you'd make me mochi, you never did. you said you'd make sake flavoured mochi. is that even a thing?" he laughed despite himself. it was barely a laugh. a pitiful scoff maybe? it was not the kind of laugh that would fool you.

"uh— once you get better." he pretended to ignore the way your body seemed to go slack under him. he repeated, "once you get better, i'm gonna convince franky to make us fireworks. you love those. and- and nami. i'd convince that money-hungry witch to lend me some money so that i can take you out. we will go shopping. you always said you—"

why were you so awfully quiet? usually, you'd talk to the point where he wanted to cut his ear off. now, he wanted to her you. he wanted to hear you call him a moss-head like sanji and he wanted you to laugh when he yelled at luffy for doing something stupid. and—

"—hey?" his voice pitched higher, "please wait, chopper will be back yeah?"

but you didn't even shake your head a weak yes. his shaky fingers reached out to look for your pulse on your neck. it was there. feeble, but there. but for how long?

how long till he lost you?

his throat was closing up, he couldn't breathe. his eyes burned and he was sure he was gonna mark your skin with his own from the way he held onto your wrist.

why won't you talk to him? call out his name, god fucking dammit. nobody called his name the way you did. as if you liked the syllables enough to make a home out of them. nobody smiled at him the way you did. so sweet, too sweet for him. you were everything. even though he was just another wrecked, broken boy with dreams too big for his mortal body, you were everything.

"please," he clutched onto you like a maddening bastard, "please. just hold on, okay?"

but bile seemed to crawl farther up his throat every time you didn't respond. not even a slight glance. not even the movement of a pinky. his fingers checked for your pulse. faint, but there.

and he couldn't hold his words back. he called out your name in a desperate effort to awaken you. water blurred his vision and he blinked it away. his throat was scratchy. too scratchy. and where was chopper?

"i love you." he finally confessed, not thinking much of his words than the fact that he just wanted you to hear them. "i love you so much. i have for so long. i-it wasn't supposed to be like this. i- i was gonna take you out to explore some island. i would have bought you food and called you an idiot when you smiled at me. then— then." he paused, "i would have told you i loved you. you would have said nothing back. and i would have loved even despite that."

he called out your name, sobs racking through his body like accursed symphonies.

"move." chopper was back, in his hand was a ceramic bowl with a green, gooey paste. "go out. i'd call you back, okay?"

if chopped noticed the state zoro was in, he simply chose not to dwell on it. and if zoro had any residual doubts for what kind of a doctor chopper was, he didn't dwell on them either. he caressed your hand one last time and stepped out.

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚

the swordsman had been pacing around the deck. none of the members were back and it gnawed on his heart. what if they were hurt too? should he go back to see? but how could he leave chopper and you alone here? and what kind of a first mate was he if he cannot even save his own crew?

the world's greatest swordman be damned.

chopper stepped out and zoro looked at the doctor, frantic. chopper gave him a sigh and chased it with a smile, "she's okay."

zoro was not sure if it was the exhaustion, or the relief, or some other feeling his gut had concocted in him without asking. but he crashed down on his knees. his palms felt rough against his face and when he inhaled, he could smell dried blood on them.

"hey." chopper trotted towards him, keeping his paw on the green-haired man's shoulders, "she's okay, really. they missed any vital spots and she didn't lose a lot of blood. she will heal, okay?"

zoro couldn't do anything but just nod along. then, when he had the courage to look away from his hands. he looked at the doctor, finally muttering a faint "thank you."

the reindeer blushed at the compliment, "don't thank me. but you know, once she's better, you should tell her how you feel. this time maybe while she's conscious."

"chopper." the swordsman groaned.

the reindeer shrugged mechanically, "i won't tell anyone what i heard if you promise to take her out on that date."

after much deliberation— having to choose between humiliation at the hand of his crewmates when they discovered his crush or the humiliation from his crush when he finally confessed— he finally gave in. after all, humiliation from one was better than humiliation from seven. especially that fucking cook.

"fine." he grumbled, "i'd take her out."

⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚

it had been two weeks since you were stabbed. well, you didn't talk to anyone about it, really. but when you drifted off into the wicked embrace of sleep, you would be plagued by the memories. and well, a confession.

it's not like you were pretending to be dead!! your body had simply given up. it was exhausted from the fighting and the not-dying. so, when you were laid on chopper's bed to be patched up, your body had gone slack. but just because your body had gone slack doesn't mean you weren't awake.

it had been two weeks and you hadn't told the green-haired asshole what you had heard. why? maybe cause you thought he would make the first move. or maybe because you weren't quite sure if he actually said those things or if you hallucinated it to dilute the pain.

eitherways, seemed like things between you and the mosshead were the same as they were before the incident. and you were really starting to consider the hallucination excuse. but then—

"hey." zoro quipped up as he came to stand beside you. it was cloudy today, the grey skies churning in anticipation of a storm. the winds were unkind and the sea was malevolent. beautiful nonetheless.

"oh hey." you turned and gave him a small smile. you shifted from one feet to another, pretending as if you weren't terrified of the route this conversation might take, "whats up?"

"uh—" he looked back for a spilt-second and you saw— from the corner of your eyes— chopper hidden behind a bunch of boxes, giving zoro his best death glare. zoro sighed, "so, uh, this is random, i think? but when we dock on the next island tomorrow morning. do like... do you want to go see some new sword-cleaning equipment with me?"

you shouldn't have laughed. but you did.

"what's funny?!" his eyes widened and his cheeks were dusted pink.

"no-nothing." you heaved, closing your eyes. "that's the best excuse you could come up with? sword cleaning equipment?"

"what do you mean 'excuse'? i need some equipment!"

"zoro." you forced open your eyes, your smile still frozen over your lips, "if you want to go out on a date with me, you should say that okay?"

his ears went red and he looked away. you were sure if the weather was quiet, you could hear his heart picking up the pace. clearing his throat, he finally asked, "who told you? chopper?"

"no, dummy." you reached your hand out, taking his calloused palm in yours. your thumb rubbed familiar patterns on his hand, "you did."

"me?" he snapped to look back at you, "me?"

you just gave him a grin, "this reminds me, i did promise you i'd try making sake flavoured mochi. i never did. but again, you said you'd ask frankie to make us fireworks and we're still firework-less. but hey, i forgive you if you forgive me okay?"

his head could have burst open from the sheer pressure on his brain but you continued, "but eitherways, what i really mean is that if you said i love you." you stepped a bit closer, "i'd say i love you too."

your hand let go of his and you chose to walk away, leaving him dumbfounded. when his senses came to him, he ran upto you, "YOU HEARD THAT ALL?!"

"all of it."

"ugh."

"heh, it was kinda cute."

"i thought you were dying, woman."

"in a way, we all already are."

"have you been hanging out with robin too much? god, kill me."

"god doesn't need to. you're already dying."

"i want to die faster."

you took his hand back in yours and pulled him towards yourself. pecking his cheek, you said, "no. we still have to go on that date. i mean, if you ever actually ask me."

the flustered mess that was rorononoa zoro just sighed. accepting his fate, he asked, "well, do you wanna go on that date or what?"

you snickered, "i'll think about it"

"do you live to annoy me?"

"maybe. but you love meee."

"i might change my mind after this."

but despite his words, his fingers stayed gently intertwined with yours. hey, maybe getting stabbed in the stomach wasn't all that bad? (jk, it was very very bad)

a/n: i love writing stoic men are flustered little guys lmaoo. hopefully y'all like this? i've been writing a lot of fluff/semi-angst lately. i wanna write some nsfw content but im so out of ideas. send reqs if you guys have anything in mind!!

[olderthannetfic]

Will probably get clowned for this take in the notes, but fuck it at least I'll learn other people's perspectives.

I keep getting frustrated by the way other people try to measure every bit of media against some scale of feminism. The women in the story need to be feminists, the showrunners/filmmakers have to be feminists, the worldbuilding have to be feminist, the viewers have to understand the intricacies of feminism as they watch it or if they don't the viewers are either naive for not understanding or hate women.

I was watching the Secretary the other day with James Spader, and casually thought that this movie not only would not be made right now but also it would be read to filth by critics and by online feminists and such for being "abusive" or "coercive" and of course not feminist.

I don't know I feel like there's more to art and stories than just conforming to a checklist of feminism, and sometimes we need to take stories as they are and not apply our personal value systems to them? Like why are we bringing 21st century feminism into a fictional world?

I don't know... just tired

--

Do you think people didn't react that way at the time?

It got less backlash than expected (at least according to Gyllenhaal in some interview), but it definitely got some. I dimly remember some interview where they asked Spader about being in such a movie, and he said something like "I wouldn't be in a movie I thought was anti-feminist". He's one of those actors who has never had much time for dumbass interviewers.

Secretary is pretty overtly a feminist film.

I too find it annoying when people with no media literacy cry about works they failed to understand... but at the same time, anon, maybe you need to spend less time with radfem-lite idiots. "Feminism" is a pretty broad category.

I was about to say that Secretary would not be made right now—but because we no longer make decent budget movies with sex/nudity/etc... but then I remembered that everyone has been saying that we're on the cusp of another 90s-ish era of sex movies. I gather that Saltburn and Challengers are being taken as a sign of things to come, though I haven't seen either one.

disclaimer: the ""proship/anti"" dichotomy is fucking stupid and i'm tired of it and i'm not interested in being slotted into either side.

but the thing about "let people enjoy things!!!" and "fiction isnt reality!!!" is that they are conversation stoppers. they are an excuse to get out of any uncomfortable thought. which is really Fucking Annoying to see repeated over and over in these incredibly holier-than-thou sentiments by adults who ostensibly should like... know how to think even a little bit. you'll see it on people's blogs and then two posts down will be current event posts about real world racism or how it's good to punch nazis like. lol. ok

and like. no, i'm not saying harassment campaigns over fictional ships are good or justified or whatever. but i AM saying that if you're incapable of sitting with questions like "does this fictional media depict all arabs as largely just uncivilized terrorists?" or "does this fictional media depict a victim being blamed for abuse in a way such that the narrative sides with the abuser?" or "does this fictional media depict black people as overly violent?" because you only want to have fun, you should probably do some soul-searching. the ability to simply turn off your ability to care about racism, transphobia, etc., is privilege.

we've all seen that post about the bartender refusing to let a nazi into his bar because you let one in and then the next thing you know it's become a nazi bar, right? extreme example but similar principle. when poc talking about racism in fandom gets lumped in with fifteen year olds yelling about ship discourse, that's not great. the idea that some people (by and large, white people)'s enjoyment and comfort in fandom spaces trumps all means that fandom spaces become a de facto "white people only" zone.

like what are the limits? where are the boundaries? some people say there are none. i don't think that's fair. like, i'm just some guy and i certainly don't have all the answers as to how to manage racism in archival spaces or anything, but it's worth thinking about. like, what if someone writes a fic that explicitly says a character of color thinks a white character's skin is wondrous and so much prettier than their own? (real example i've seen, btw.) does that fall under "let people enjoy things" as beyond criticism? where's the line? it's worth thinking about, isn't it?

and like. i know that in a way it doesn't really matter, because fandom spaces are just a little corner of the internet and i could easily just close this tab and walk away, but i mean. it's still frustrating. idk.

i want to say something about fandom culture or whatever. but i need people to be cool about it and not be annoying in my notes ok 🙏

Stop making up bullshit about Astrid not being real in order to justify wanting a traumatized woman to marry a pedophile

Just say you're unfamiliar with classic horror and the basic foundations of media literacy. It's okay if you want to see him and Astrid that way, but if you do then you have to accept that he threatened Astrid, he is a Bad Person, and you're not allowed to like him or the source material anymore according to your own stringent rules.

Edit: It pleases me greatly that my plot analysis is accurate enough to threaten your sense of self and goad you into acting on baseless anger. It's incredibly validating. Thank you.

Edit #2: Refusal to believe in the existence of symbolism is anti-intellectualism. It's a refusal to allow art to transcend the mundane.
