people around me online are always disclosing their kinks, like by writing fic about them or writing posts about them or reblogging the same photo of lee pace thirty times. but i can't do that. because my kink is embarrassing
#like i'm self aware enough to know that i'm actually extraordinarily vanilla except for like idk. genderplay stuff. is that even not vanilla#if you're also trans for real? i might just be describing the concept of having a sex life while trans maybe.#and yet. actually describing any specifics of what i mean or what this is about make me certain that you will all quietly cancel me#in the privacy of your brains#for being morally suspect.#and i'm not. morally suspect. but only i know that#sorry getting back into writing fic a lot is really causing me to fly close to the sun here#i mgiht tell someone information. or suggest they read my fanfiction#or write fanfiction about sex and then suggest somebody read it#and that would be fucked. just disastrous#box opener#don't worry i'm also embarrassed about being vanilla. i have a lot of range

Let us be brutally honest with ourselves and with eachother for a moment. If he weren't obese you motherfuckers would be capable of percieving evrart claires sexy sexy moral ambiguity and complex charms
#i am (lesbian) sipping him like a fine DESSERT WINE#my evidence by the way is very simple and very damning. joyce messier. there i said it.#if you guys can appreciate the fact that Joyce is a complex figure worthy of disgust yes but also worthy of empathy#despite being a venal coward facilitating acts of violence and slaughter of the organized working poor of martinaise in the name of capital#if you can understand that she is a dimensional figure while also being an embodiment of the moral apathy and cruelty if capital owners#but you cant look at evrart and see that he is (while deeply flawed and morally suspect) also a dimensional figure#on top of the fact that his motivations are eminently relatable and dare i say it baser#and his greatest failing imho is in failing to advocate for the interests of *all* the poor of martinaise#opting instead to marginalize the inhabitants of the fishing village in favor of a power grab in the interests of himself and his union#though this is imo a bit of a grey area morally. undeniably a wrong and bad thing to do but done in service of clairs political goals#to gather power to advocate for the working class against ultraliberal monoliths like wild pines and fascistic orgs like krenel#still super wrong but i can follow the moral arithmetic there tho i don't like it#but like my point is if u can see that joyce is evil and pathetic but still cool and sexy but you consider clair flatly distasteful#thats cus hes not conventionally attractive#cus he is *every bit* as dimensional and interesting as joyce and he is not nearly as politically shite even if hes interpersonally a jerk

i'm seeing three times as many people bitching in the tag about the very idea that someone might not like this breed than i see people actually expressing unambiguous dislike for this breed
#the preemptive counter-bitchers are consistently orders of magnitude meaner and more uncharitable about it too#like i'm convinced at this point these people just have these counter-bitches ready to go on launch regardless of actual reception#it's starting to feel like they just fill out a generic “what moral failing can i accuse the potential idea of dislikers of” template#and post it as soon as the thing's out whether or not anyone actually complains much less the way they accuse people of#these people are getting to the point that even when it's about something i unambiguously *like* i still have to resist the urge#to comment “fr staff aren't gonna fuck you bro”#there's like 11 different posts all insisting that the only reason anyone could dislike the new breed is fatphobia#meanwhile i scrolled down the entire tag and found like 2. maybe 3 people that even mentioned it in the same post as disliking the breed#before anyone gets ideas i'm generally-neutral-to-appreciative of the attempt at moldbreaking on the breed#and am completely indifferent the weight of dragons. the only thing i care about is if the design is original and interesting#a vast majority of the dislike posts i've seen so far have been in the vein of “nah man this one's just not for me” or “too maggot”#or “i hoped for an eldritch horror”. and there's not that many of these dislike posts in general. especially compared to normal.#meanwhile the counter-bitching has all been like “YOU'RE ALL JUST GREEDY UNPLEASABLE ENTITLED WHINY BABY FATPHOBES DIE MAD”#it's like this every time and i feel like it takes less and less to get people going like this every time#it almost feels like they get angrier faster the *less* anyone actually complains in the first place#a behavior pattern i'm well versed in from experience with my mother#and they always seem to get angriest at the most mild polite complaint posters rather than any of the actually questionable ones#like they'll ignore someone spouting clear fatphobia to go fling bigotry accusations at someone who just said “eh i kinda hoped for scary”#they also consistently have a bad case of “fr players are a monolith who all ask for the same things”-brain#i don't know what it is that makes it so fr players are so insecure about liking anything that the possible existence of anyone who doesnt#makes them feel like they're being directly attacked#flight rising#i suspect it's downstream of a similar kind of “we know if we don't get what we want we lose our chance because the devs are fickle” thing#to the fundamental flaw that doomed the minecraft mob votes

ten caps per episode - Law and Order Criminal Intent - s01e11 - The Third Horseman
Eames: "From locks to lock n load." Deakins: "Next step for Mr. Griscom is lockup."
#my stuff#goren/eames#goren and eames#law and order criminal intent#ten caps: loci#ten caps per episode#loci s01e11#love this ep#we get alex broaching some tough topics with bobby#everyone's done a gifset or whatever of the scene where she asks him his thoughts on abortion#so i won't beat a dead horse#but here's what i love about that scene#it's important to alex#she wants to know what bobby thinks bc it's a big deal to her#like she was so bothered by the stuff he said to the bad guy when trying to win his trust#like alex KNOWS he's playing the suspects. intellectually. she knows that.#but once in a while there are these times where she gets this feeling like#wait is he just playing them? or..? and she just has to know what he thinks#and when he gives kind of a non committal answer she's like nuh uh#you will answer me#and bobby answers because alex doesn't demand a lot of him directly and personally#as we see throughout the series#alex has a really strong sense of morality and ethics#and i think that's what she loves about bobby too that brings her around to like being partners with him#in the wee small hours in her testimony she specifically said she changed her mind bc she found him to be an ethical person#i think that's one of her biggest things about her opinions on others#so it was really important to her to know where her partner stood#topic change but also the quote i used makes me smile#i think deakins had a sense of frivolity about him and liked to be playful with alex'

Current Events in Silm fandom rlly reinforce my feeling that, despite claiming an ethos of acceptance/tolerance of anything that doesn't hurt ppl, a lot of ppl in the section of Silm fandom I frequent do follow a set of socially-agreed-upon mores about what concepts are "not acceptable" to discuss or propose (or the ways in which certain topics must be discussed to be acceptable), that you all seem to have agreed on despite the things those mores restrict not being harmful to anyone.
And when someone does say smth that violates those mores, the response is disproportionate to the amount of harm done (which is typically none, imo). I know it's tempting to say "but we just want people to be comfortable and safe", but treating ppl badly for the sin of sharing thoughts you dislike is NOT the same as preventing people from doing things that are harmful. The former is much more of a harmful behavior than the sharing of the thoughts that sets it off. Fannish etiquette, people: you shouldn’t act like someone’s meta makes them morally suspect just because you disagree with it; save the “this is morally bad” for things that are ACTUALLY harmful. We're all stuck on this website together & if you want to have any sort of community, you need to ACT like you're in a community, and that means letting other people say things you dislike. Block them if you need to! I block people all the time because i know it's better for me AND for them if we can both blog in peace.
I am not particularly comfortable with the young-queer-on-tumblr silm fandom rn due to this tendency to rebuke things that are uncomfortable rather than harmful. Maybe that's fine with you. But if your goal is to make all fans feel comfortable and accepted, you need to actually do that. If your goal is to make people who share your unwritten rules comfortable in your space, you need to admit that, and write those rules down, and curate your space so it follows them.
Edited 8:10am PST to clarify the specifics of the behavior I find concerning.
#mine#if there had been Actual Harm done i'd feel differently#but when ppl are this worked up over 'what if [female character] was Also a bad person in a way that's reprehensible to our current morals'#and start going ‘hm this person is morally suspect for their Taste In Fiction’ im like. yikes! and you do this in the War Crimes Fandom?!#and like listen i Get that esp in this fandom there's a high incidence of like. ppl who are genuinely bigoted and stuff#and it can be stressful to see stuff that reminds you of that bigotry and the way those ppl use the work to justify their own worldview#but that STILL doesn't give anyone the right to police stuff that Isn't Bigoted. that's just not how this works.#and then in terms of 'well it's not policing it's just disagreeing' i have to say. that's where Etiquette comes in and i'm frankly#unhappy & annoyed that so many ppl in my age group seem to care more about being Right than being comfortable to share a fannish space with#but again whatever maybe they don't want me in their space. that's fine! i don't want to be in your space if it doesn't want me.#but i wish they'd fucking ADMIT THAT instead of going 'ooooh we accept everyone' and then turning around#and censuring ppl whose ideas they find icky. you can't have it both ways is all i'm saying. pick one and actually do it. for all our sakes#haha i might regret this tomorrow but i'm sooooo sleep-deprived and so annoyed#sorry to my non-silm followers it's just that i'm right and i should say it

Thinking about Jon feeling the emotions and experiences of statement givers through the lens of Aro!Jon. Jon who went through his entire life thinking everyone else was just very odd about romance. Not understanding the obsession. Feeling vaguely resigned to the idea that he'll probably have to date at some point (but just not right now; he's too busy you see). And sometimes someone will come along and he'll sort of... center them. Find them so fascinating, so admirable, crave their kindness and approval and enjoy talking with them for hours at a time and maybe that's what romantic love is?
But then there's a statement (maybe Naomi Herne's?) where there's this alien, cloying, oily emotion flooding him. It feels wrong in his body, his head, his chest, like it doesn't belong at all. It takes him several statements to recognize it as romantic love, and suddenly he realizes he's never experienced it at all.
#i don't really know where to go from here actually#does he feel relieved? broken? sure of himself? unsure? confused?#i think it would be isolating. a little bit.#because would he ever feel safe reaching out?#he couldn't in s1 without revealing that he believes the statements.#in s2 he's obviously not going to reach out to the people he suspects of being out to get him#i think it would be interesting if he tried to speak with elias about it in s3#he /does/ ask him about being human. so maybe.#but idk if i can really see him doing that. and in any case he would've had much more time to come to terms with it on his own#maybe georgie? idk.#maybe daisy in s4....#but by that point there's the whole complicated matter of 'humanity'#and what it means to lack romantic love in a world full of people who consider it to be a fundamental aspect of human nature#where /not/ feeling love is treated as abberant. abnormal. and sometimes even a stain against one's moral character#so idk#anyway that's my aro!jon posting for today <3

sorry but with every day that passes weird meat industry fans turn me into the sanctimonious vegetarian strawman theyre always posting about ehdhfghdfgdkfjgn like im starting to see why people get angry when ur actively cheering on the destruction of our planet
#when i think abt how we used to talk about vegetarianism and veganism on here#and everyone just blindly accepted these insane narratives bc they felt guilty#and now our whole generation acts like NOT EATING MEAT is morally suspect#youre literally being lied to ..............#i also am half-convinced that the animal r1ghts movement is a psyop#like i just wont be surprised if in 30 years we find out p3ta is funded by JBS

New Scotland Yard: Fire in a Honey Pot (1.8, LWT, 1972)
"You make it sound very convincing."
"I beg your pardon?"
"Your Mr. Logan was seen at the club on the afternoon before it burnt."
"Oh, now, don't ask me what could have taken him there, to a place like that."
"You mean you've never heard of the protection business?"
"Isn't that what you're in?"
#new scotland yard#fire in a honey pot#1972#lwt#classic tv#bryan izzard#robert banks stewart#john woodvine#peter blythe#robin hawdon#veronica hurst#june brown#john j. carney#john baron#leslie schofield#alan curtis#john crocker#frank mills#maurice bush#yasuko nagazumi#ken halliwell#Schofield's stand in reporter returns from ep3‚ and once again Carlisle is nowhere to be seen (nor even mentioned). his place is taken by#the always reliable Peter Blythe as a rather over eager young sergeant; sadly he's underused‚ disappearing from the middle of the episode#the plot itself is some rather romantic hokum about protection rackets and gambling clubs‚ with an unbalanced (and welsh obvs) arsonist#thrown into the mix for good measure. our welsh wonder is avenging his poor mum who lost everything after being gripped by the evils of#gambling (then relatively new in a legal form; the 1960 Betting and Gaming Act had changed the landscape of gambling in the uk entirely)#this element gets dropped pretty quickly tho to focus on a seedier case of murder and a copycat fire to hide the deed; enter a rather#soap opera element of affairs‚ estranged children‚ and underworld cheating. Woodvine's love of gardening comes up again and even allows#him to hoodwink a suspect (in an entirely legal but morally dubious way). a bit of a minor entry i think‚ it's just a little silly#and distracted. also once again I am asking why a cop as senior as Woodvine is on thr ground investigating p much every crime he finds

im finally feeling awake now so @pharahsgf this is the post I was talking about
foolish. reductive. immature. disrespectful. willfully ignorant. WRONG
#I have had this person blocked ever since they said they were into xi//cheng#but I wish I could block them again just for this. it's so stupid and indicitive of all the most annoying misconceptions#first of all pretending that jc and wwx are still at the same emotional and social and moral level postres#when jc not changing/remaining static is one of THE most important part of his charact#and wwx changing and developing and growing up is so significant esp postres when he's wiser and quieter and more mature#even in the flashback arcs he doesn't dwell on his torture of the wens he doesn't 'love it' he doesn't brag about it#he doesn't ever WANT to do it again he clearly just wants to put it behind him#he's done bad things in the past and he wants ppl like xy to pay but that doesn't mean he endorses torture#AND it brings in the fiction that wwx is or needs to be protective of jc when postres he's the one who needs protection FROM jc#like yeah im sure after the verbal assaults and the triggering of his phobia and the physical attacks#he's just rushing to throw himself in front of jc to protect him from dcs#it just plays into jc stans' misconceptions that wwx is happy to sacrifice everything for jc and always will and therefore SHOULD#because ohh everything is about jc and everyone loves him. literally not true to any version of canon#I don't even think the torture dungeon has enough evidence to really consider in the novel and its not even mentioned in the show#but his unilateral violence towards people he suspects of being DCs is visible in literally the second episode#and idk why wwx would just start to 'love' that violence and aggression when it was once pointed at him#especially when he has the option to instead spend time with people who have never tortured anyone suspected of doing some vague bad thing#okay I'm done! I'm done. this got me soo mad though what a stupid fucking post#cql txp

well boys i think we gotta pack it up for the night
#medic's log#too much internetting again lads#i am also Suspecting. suspecting and pondering#that perhaps my instinct to have a Fully Formed Right Opinion On Any Subject Ever#and the compulsion that i’m being Not Good if i don’t do that#may perhaps be some sort of flavor of Brain Bad#and not just a silly me thing#remembering how i looked at my beloved wife and made a passing comment like#oh yeah i might have some sort of moral ocd. especially about money#and he went No Fucking Shit#i already got my head examined but maybe i should get it examined again#the rock tells me things that i ought to do and it makes me think the things i am are not so good &c &c

did i ever get around to mentioning that my least favourite era of tf cartoons (2010-2017, all technically in the same 'continuity' even though. their obviously not actually. and also. that real bad comics lore) there is so much messaging around the idea that like "you need to stick up for yourself" but it will always be completely encounter to the way everyone acts, the meanness of the humour used, and that like... you have to stick up for yourself! against your direct superiors! no they are NOT beholden to you 'sticking up for yourself' and have no particular method of account. You just! Have to! and once you do! they will, ofc, due to their good nature, realise the error of their ways and redress.... i mean. maybe. at least until next episode?
do i think this has ANYTHING to do with how propagandist each show is regards to... the government, the military, police or even yeah religion, and or how they characterize their settings with having NO tf civilians/non combatants.... WELL.
#some shit#its not called cisformers#this era being sandwiched between the show that said oh the good guys govt is act like. a military propagandist state and antagonist force#[common animated w]#and the show thats like. why the war started is unclear but these ppl use to be friends and civilians but the complex relations between#warring factions makes actions reverbate like dominoes thus reestablishing peace is very hard for material practical reasons#[beloved CV narrative focus]#WELL#did think of this cause of an actually poignant real world post whoops#2010-2017 era shows ofc being. the edgy one. the preschool ones. and the copaganda one <- my favourite of the lot. believe it or not.#this is less moral outrage that THE KIDS MEDIA ISNT teaching good lessons and more like. how put. lacking both the emotional depth#to do actually good moralizing. OR the sophistication to just. have fucked up shit happen and like. damn. thats fucked up.#which again. is less caused because of the media and age demo its for. cause the shows b4 and after ARE NOT THIS.#but more. i always suspect. those FUCKING MOVIES. setting us back SEVERELY.#(in terms of how preschool age shows have no civilians is like. how everyone needs A JOB. in the SYSTEM#no Hey its COOL. if ur just. a kid. or. an unaffiliated Guy. hanging out)

What I want from you is / It was
Your voice
#Portal#The Little Mermaid#It was so weird - for the longest time I had a ''Your voice'' stuck in my head (ironically lol)#And I was like ''Ursula??'' and I'd go and relisten to her scene which I mean - I love her and Poor Unfortunate Souls so it was fun but like#It still wasn't right! That wasn't the intonation or inflection or tone! It's close but not quite! What was it??#It was GLaDOS it's always GLaDOS#I never suspected! I love her but I only listen to certain lines of hers on a semi-regular basis lol#Mostly her losing the morality core and her cut dialogue - I leave the official lines to when I play! Which uh#So it was just stuck there without a source and then I /finally/ went and relistened to her official lines and there it was!#Very funny to me that she's talking about Wheatley being in her head meanwhile this line of hers is stuck in mine haha#Also hey huh I wonder why these two specifically speak to me so much haha weird òuò;;#Me having a thing for lady villains? Hahahahaha that's ridiculous#Although to be fair Ursula is Neutral Evil and GLaDOS is Chaotic Evil - close but not quite lol#Good to finally have ♪#WPP#WPVG

looking at my fer.al screenshots i miss you luka i miss you weird nonbinary beasties with dubious morals. also the writing in that game was so bad sometimes
edit i keep forgetting there is a working emulation of this game i just dont know how to play it without getting a discord. please tell me how to play it without a discord.
#fer.al was like [makes fantasy racism] and it was like. we do not need that. why cant we be niceys.#original nonsense#personal#idk if felt like most character species had some sort of weird stereotype abt them. it was so unnecesary.#the myrefolk had gross cooking. the komodoris were criminals. um idk abt the other species but those stereotypes bothered me SO MUCH#STOP MAKING MY PLAYER CHARACTER have snarky dialogue calling other cultures cooking gross. stop making my player character#suspect another character of being shady just bc it is a lizard. UGH!!!! it was so bad#i miss fer.al but i would hope they would have been a lot more mature abt some things#the twiggles had something weird going on too i think... whyyyyyy#aside from the fantasy racism the character deisgns were so awesome i miss u luka and vesta and willow and literally everyone#i even miss u kino (another epic nonbinary beast) even though i hated their minigames so much. not for moral reasons i just sucked.#so much stuff abt that game was good. idek why they shut it down except for corporate greed to make nfts. wildworks explode now

to be clear, im personally not beat up about the ceo being dead or anything, it's still prolly not a good idea to just start killing ppl bc that's not gonna fix anything, obviously other rich people just fill their place, but I also can't be mad at people for trying it that way lmao.
#i also dont give af about the dude who did it- im more upset with leftists rn for being huge fucking hypocrites.#this was apparently a catalyst for me waking up to fully realizing i never have to take leftists seriously ever again#and a lot of yall want an excuse to be bigots and abusive as evidence by how yall are about me whos at worst an imperfect leftist#vs this guy thats right wing. apparently i have to kill people to finally be seen as leftist enough and have ppl be grateful i exist#yall would throw me into a 'reeducation camp' for SUSPECTING im rw but then not blink twice about this dude.#can you make it make sense? can you explain to me why i should ever take you seriously and listen to anything you say ever tf again?#your politics have only ever been about who you like. not about having any real morals or principals.#you drop your morals the second you see something shiny.#its a weakness truly.

quite honestly I think half of this site needs to sit through a reading of fricker. the amount of testimonial and hermeneutical injustice I see from actually multiple points is wild
#I think this ought to fix things but I honestly doubt it because I suspect some of the people who need to hear it most#have their heads purposefully shoved into the sand because having anything shatter their current worldview#is not something they could cope with#whether this is out of a genuine issue to do with an underlying factor or because some people are just dickheads#who weaponise that fact about themselves in some form#which y'know I get both. been there. it's not a moral failing it's just impossible to get someone to listen if they don't wanna#but I will say one thing. I think if they were asked to have a nice reasonable calm discussion they'd all start insulting each other#I'm being vague here. mostly because I know it'll be a shitshow if I wasn't#and thus the people I'm talking about will never see this post
