free my complex female character, she did the same thing as complex male characters but the fandom takes Any analysis of her actions/choices/motivations that doesn’t strip her of all of her agency in bad faith and claims that only misogynists would dare to critique the things that they’ve noticed in her character because she’s a woman, completely ignoring the over-presence of discourse about similarly traited male characters in their fandom.

#exhausted by people categorizing CRITIQUE. not even genuine hate just literally basic analysis of imogen’s character #as a) hate at all but b) misogynistic simply because… they assume the person like caleb and percy uncritically like #i love imogen and i love her because she’s riddled with complexity that gives reason for her to be unlikeable #the shit ashton says makes me want to tear out my hair and i could write analysis on why but they’re still one of my favourite characters #i enjoy caleb but watching him infuriated me because of his self interest which is a coherent trait of his but is a tiring one #similarly with percy of love his pretentious Smartest In The Room shit but sometimes it meant he treated others more poorly than necessary #but i’m not unpacking all of that just so i have some fandom mandated right to say that i think there’s an aspect of a female character #that is imperfect in the human sense #because like. i will continue to call imogen’s self interested until the world burns and the moon shatters. because she is.#the only reason her choice to do good is compelling at all is because the choice to do otherwise is so tangible #it isn’t a Mistake or Fault that she’s self interested. it’s by design #like. she reaches towards the storm in curiosity in her sleep. but then she fights back when she’s awake #that’s it #that’s the dynamic. that’s what’s compelling #but no ur right fandom. let’s instead all agree that imogen is actually just intrinsically good #and take away all agency and complexity and humanity from her #and instead slap a sticker of Morally Good and enjoy the caricature of her where she’s made to fit into the imagine of #the latest aesthetic ad for diarrhoea medication #imogen temult #critical role #inspired as always by dumbass twitter posts that i’m subjected to because of school n work #the worst part is i do like the laudna n imogen dynamic in the stagnancy where it is but so much of that fandom is so clear in their erosion #of both characters actuality to suit the picture of Ship Tropes #like fuckin. so much of imogen’s fanart in imodna making her fat which as a fat person great love to see it #not so much when it’s clearly to make her short n stout against laundas tall n lanky.#anyway

already seen some crybabies in the tag mad that rwby has a new home and just like??? fucking die mad about it??? if you hate rwby so much why does it matter to you that it has a new home?? why do you CARE?? just let us who actually love this show, story, and these characters be happy and leave your negative bullshit untagged and on your own blogs where they belong.

#i will never understand how or why people waste their energy whining about things they hate #it genuinely seems so exhausting #and is just such a red flag to me about who you are as a person #rwby #shouting into the void*

pro tip if you want a positive fandom experience: do not follow confession blogs. you’re just asking for a bad time if you do that just don’t

#‘why is this fandom so toxic’ genuine suggestion stay away from the Bad Takes Factory #I hope whoever runs that blog doesn’t take this as a personal attack it’s just. man im sorry i just think confession blogs are a horrible #idea.#im tempted to block it just because I do actually use the For You tab in order to explore new blogs and posts I wouldn’t otherwise see #and confession blog posts just keep coming up and I have to zoom past them or else they’ll make me mad or exhausted half the time #I saw someone saying we don’t deserve a s2 because of how toxic we’ve become and im just like dude. you’re kind of doing that to yourself #most of the conflict being talked about is so ridiculously minuscule and taken out of proportion. like. most of us don’t actually argue #about that. most of us aren’t going around yelling about what’s problematic or not. or whatever. that’s a minority and you gotta learn to #either not engage or block and move on. then the world is magically a better place #sorry hope this isn’t a hot take. that’d be ironic #rambling

Logging out for a while, love you miss you <3

#idk when I'll be back on #I think maybe end of the month to test the waters but we'll see #someone was having a bad day and decided to take it out in my inbox last night #and then when I logged off they got mad I didn't answer and sent a few more 🤪#usually I'm pretty good at rationalizing these things. gen z feels like the only place they have power is on the internet so of course when #they're angry and scared they're going to come after the people that they can actually reach #(and that includes me; proud owner of an anime thirst blog with 6 followers <3)#what they need is a hug and a copy of the anarchist protest guide and maybe a community garden; not someone responding to them with more #anger #but as I stated. I'm exhausted.#anyway. this is all to say #if you're feeling so much kinetic energy from rage that you feel the best way to get rid of it is to yell at some rando on the internet #use that energy to do something productive #sign up for a protest; volunteer at your local soup kitchen; teach crafts at the library.#a lot of people need a lot of help right now; why waste time shouting into the void when you could be doing something with genuine impact #the world needs helpers more than ever #if you made it this far thank u I love you; and stay safe out there cowboys 💞

thinking about viktor flipping through jayce’s notes like. this bastard signed off on the bottom of EVERY page? he’s an idiot. he’s tragically got a point. ugh fucking hell I need him carnally.

#as much as viktor admires jayce I’m also 100% sure his face muscles are exhausted from all the eye rolling he’s doing #jayce is interesting because he’s literally a genius. like viktor’s intellectual equal. but he’s SO dumb! a little too naive and ambitious #and that combination is exactly why viktor can’t resist him period end of story #like OH he genuinely thinks he can make the world a better place — and together I really think it’s possible so long as I have him with me #but there’s two sides to that coin and we see it the second he tries to get involved in politics and everything starts falling apart #power and privilege and shortsighted decisions end up. well. they aren’t doomed but their trajectory sure is tragic.#rambling #jayvik

I find it odd and by odd I mean racist that ever since that stupid show cast the Dragon Twins as Black girls, there's been an uptick in Jace/Sara content/shipping.

Before the dumpster fire started, reasonable people agreed that Sara Snow was not real, but now you cannot go five minutes in Jace or Baela’s tag without seeing someone wish they'd include Sara Snow in the show.

They say it'll deepen Jace’s character and make him “interesting”, whatever that means. The problem with this assertion is that Jace is already plenty interesting, he led the war councils while his mother grieved, and he recruited the blacks' most important allies. Allies who remained steadfast even after his mother's and his own demise.

Furthermore, Jace has existing relationships in his life that the show could explore to delve into his connection with bastardy. Three of whom are canonically Black, by the way.

So, the question arises: what unique perspective or insight can Sara Snow provide to Jace's struggle with his bastard status that Nettles, Addam, and Alyn cannot?

#i was going to leave it alone because i’m tired of talking about antiBlackness in general but i saw a post that annoyed me in Baela’s tag.#this fandom is so racist #it is genuinely exhausting that i cannot even scroll a characters tag in peace #it is telling that most of y’all skip all the canonical Black bastards to attach yourselves onto a white character whose in world existence #is debated #how would reducing baela to the other woman in her own relationship help her character?#would that not just repeat the disgusting precedent that the show runners set with laena #why can’t she be loved and cherished and missed and treated with tenderness #house of the dragon #baela targaryen #jace velaryon #nettles #addam velaryon #alyn velaryon #sara snow #had to get that out of my system #back to ignoring asoiaf discourse as best i can

i was logged out for a week and life was so peaceful. i read books by and about women. and when i read comics, i only read comics that prominently featured women. and they were fun!

then i logged back in and ventured beyond my peer reviewed 'i swear on my life that this has women in it who matter to the plot' bubble and. well. can you guess what i found. or rather. who i didnt find. can you guess

#im genuinely beginning to hate the dc fandom. i dont want to! but its getting really hard not to #its not that i dont like guy characters. i love kon! and dick! and tim!#but its exhausting to engage with a fandom that by and large doesnt seem to think women matter #i just want people who write dickkory to think kory matters. i just want people who write batfam to write cass as being there #i want stephanie and babs not to just solve bg problems so that the IMPORTANT CHARACTERS (men) can talk about their feelings #its so disheartening #does anyone else out there actually see the girls as human? as interesting as they see the men?#do you see a complex and deeply interesting deeply human psyche? trauma worth unpacking?#do you see someone worth diving deeper?#you do these deep complex character studies for all of the men. where are the ones for the girls?#ive read a few about cass and stephanie over the last day or two and now that ive feasted...#...whenever i read fics and they arent there i just feel so hollow #its not intentional sexism by fans. no one can force someone to care about characters they just dont care about #but fandom reinforces caring about the men so so so so much #and the girls get scraps #i just feel like a ghost in dc. i like the women. genuinely am interested in them. why do i never find fics About them?

I always think I couldn’t possibly hate Lindsay Cunningham more than I already do…and yet every single time he’s on screen he pulls some absolute bullshit that multiplies my hatred by like…a billion percent.

#what's crazy is that whenever he does shit like this #it is absolutely the type of behaviour I expect from him #and yet I always end up with the same visceral rage #every. single. time.#I'm on 3x05 by the way #and I absolutely expected him to do this #but I started this episode last night at like 1am #and 2 and a half minutes in...I paused...dug my nails into my palms to calm my anger #slammed my laptop shut and went to sleep #I genuinely could not continue I was so mad #I thought maybe last night I reacted so strongly because I was tired #thought to myself 'hey...why don't you try again tomorrow when you're not so exhausted'#no luck...I am now 3 and a half minutes in and I'm finding it hard not to do the exact same thing #FUCK LINDSAY CUNNINGHAM #AHHHHHH #credit to william mcinnes though for playing this character so successfully that I want to smash my computer #can’t remember the last time a show made me this angry…that’s an accomplishment #the newsreader #the newsreader season 3 #the newsreader spoilers #lindsay cunningham #dale jennings #kate's post

conked out for nearly 12 hours which is really nice on a i slept less the past 2 nights combined level but also i was supposed to be up at 7

#i feel so bad i wanted to do stuff in the morning #i also need to work and i lost an hour of free time for that #also semi related and i know this is an asshole thing to say but i'm so tired of suicide watch #why does it have to be my responsibility that my roommate doesn't try to kill themselves again #i'm not a professional i'm not anything. i spent my field trip checking in every 2 hours to make sure they were alive & doing things #i come home and i can't rest because they're my literal roommate and now I have to exist in the same space #without the boundary of the phone #i genuinely can't deal with this and i feel horrible about it because i'm not the person who just nearly committed suicide #but i AM the guy who was traumatised by having to stop them and who's deeply exhausted by the aftermath #idk #everything is a lot rn. and i feel bad about sleeping in on top of all that. yay #veni veni

I love how you can purposely cater you internet experience to block most politics so you can mentally detox since your media consumption was becoming unhealthy, and still have a whole week of attempting to regain your hope in humanity become completely undone by wanting to eat lunch with your mom (ramble in tags, feel free to ignore; take care of yourselves first <3)

#politics #us politics #tags so people can block this post #it's just so cool and awesome that things work like that #i was genuinely doing so much better #i was engaging with news in a healthier way #i was fixing my focus on what to do moving forward #but then i had the audacity to want to eat lunch with my mother instead of holing up in my room #she turned on fox news and i tuned it out... talking about stuff with them always turns into debates and its mentality exhausting #so i generally just keep my mouth shut unless asked #but then she started commenting on the news out loud #and so being a personable person i did my best to respond #they were talking about mass deportation of ''illegal criminals'' and she asked out loud why they havent sent them away already #so i said “oh well its expensive and there's not always places that are willing to take them”... left my opinion on the sentiment out of it #that was the WRONG thing to say apparently #devolved into a debate where she ultimately said “ok but it was a rhetorical question and i didnt actually want an answer”#how was i supposed to know that????? im the only person in the room??? thats not what rhetorical questions are used for??????#so we moved on from the topic #she said something along the lines of “pff and people come in illegally and still want to seek asylum”#so again i speak up #told her (with a quick google search to back it up) that people can either apply for asylum at the border or after entering illegally #as long as its within a year of entering #that was ALSO THE WRONG THING TO SAY #she reiterated that she still wasn't asking and added “im just watching the news; i dont want to google anything”#and im like...#...one; she mentioned in her “thinking out loud” rambles that she's aware that i dont like to talk about this stuff with her #but that this stuff is important to talk about... which i took as a “why won't you talk with me?”#so ouch #but also... whY ARE YOU WATCHING THE NEWS IF YOU DON'T CARE TO VERIFY ANY OF IT #im out of tags to ramble in but I'm still so hurt and mad and i have been reminded how little people care about compassion and factuality

normal ways to talk about holding hands

#whispers #Comic aurora #Oh EXCELLENT they're both like this #'It was the heat of the moment' sir??#Fellas is it gay to as a man save another man from falling off a ledge #Why are you doing that?! So you can Hold Hands?!#And you didn't IMMEDIATELY drop it like a HOT POTATO because you were both exhausted???#UNHEARD OF #This does seem like Dainix being genuinely mostly confused at Falst's line of thought but #Heat of the moment and inches from death are sending me

i don't think i'll ever get over how people treat kids that aren't good in school as worthless no matter what. "oh it can't be that bad" my guy idk how to tell you this but the last time i went to a normal high school the principal called me into his office to brag about how he failed me in all of my classes before the semester was even finished & i should quit while i'm ahead cuz i'm too stupid ("officially" diagnosed as such by a school counselor & a psychiatrist!!) to succeed. & this is considered normal

#''poor teachers!!'' yeah well at least they can fucking quit & go work somewhere else #''okay but times are different than when you went to school in the 1970's'' this was 2016 my guy. shut the fuck up #''well maybe you were a violent & severely misbehaving kid!'' i wasn't. i have ADHD & severe anxiety disorder & depression #my biggest crime was being too exhausted & dopamine deprived to do my homework #my dad talks about how he was treated in school & i'm like damn dude i went through the same exact shit #how is it that a majority of teachers & principals are still abusive power-tripping pieces of shit 60 years later #why haven't things changed #well actually the answer is simple & it's because they want disabled people to disappear #& if abled students that simply disagree with the way things are done get caught in the crossfire then that is acceptable #because anyone not fit to make billionaires a billion more dollars should just die!#anyways here are my original tags from that gravity falls post i just reblogged:#I know this is supposed to be an appreciation post but like. ''for being the ''dumb one'' he's surprisingly rational.'' seriously??#as ''the dumb'' but ''surprisingly rational'' one of my family this is THEE biggest misunderstanding & it drives me up the fucking wall #just because a person struggles in one area doesn't mean they're stupid & should be an irrational dumb dumb idiot baby holy fuckkk #sorry to OP but even when people try to ''appreciate'' stuff like this they can't help but throw in insults #simply because they genuinely believe that ''even though you're stupid you SURPRISINGLY act competent sometimes'' is a compliment #I'm less mad about this & more sad that this kind of shit is still so prevalent in 2024 #both Stanley & Stanford are smart & competent & rational #they just show it in different ways & exceed in different (sometimes overlapping) subjects #this is normal for human beings but the big societal scam is that if you don't do it in the way Ford does then you're stupid & a failure #& being surprised that Stan is also smart & competent in his own ways is the biggest sing that you fucking fell for it dude #btw before i get @ ed for this. i WAS that kid #i was so much that kid the school actually diagnosed me with stupid & spiteful & i was told to quit while i was ahead (they failed me befor #obviously this is very personal for me but also i don't think people realize the language they use is on purpose & it's used specifically t #& it's still happening right now & that just. makes me wanna cry honestly #like why are people still surprised that people can specialize in something despite bad grades in school #you know. the thing we all know is literally rigged to either put you in jail or in a factory to make billionaires more money.#man sorry for the rant the original spirit of the post is super correct but like fuck HS grade-centric judging of people's entire character #Stan being able to defeat Bill is just not at all surprising if you were him or knew/know someone like him #or really paid any attention at all to the show while watching it
