damn that is so crazy that u think taylor swift’s album about being in love with her boyfriend is a paragon of queer storytelling packed with sapphic subtext. personally when i’m in the mood for gay music i like to listen to gay people singing about gay sex but to each their own dude

there are plenty of jewish intellectuals who were critical of israel and zionism who weren't virulently racist. please stop centering hannah 'savages of africa' arendt. she supported the apartheid in south africa. she also helped rehabilitate her former professor and notorious nazi collaborator philosopher heidegger.

If I see one more childhood friends wangxian AU where wei wuxian heckles and wears down a surly kid his age he is forced to hang out with and they go swimming and the kid is a tsundere then folks I must tell you

THATS NOT WANGXIAN THATS LITERALLY PUTTING LAN WANGJI IN THE SPACE JIANG CHENG OCCUPIES IN CANON, GIVE HIM ANOTHER PERSONALITYYY

like many other lesbians i do enjoy a sexy nun (and robed high-fantasy priestess equivalents) but like. literally what's the point if you're just putting them in a themed lingerie-and-loincloth situation. you just drew a bikini babe with a funny hat/hood. the whole POINT is the vague suggestion of curves behind loose modest fabric that activates some basic urge of curious fantasizing via the paradoxical allure of the tease. if you show everything off right away then it's like skipping to the last 15 minutes of a movie!! like what are you DOING!! let go of the instant gratification and get hot over a woman who isn't showing anything but her face and hands

right so when they do a jessie’s girl needle drop in season 8 would we rather it be eddie staring at buck and his cardboard cutout boyfriend OR would we rather it be buck staring at eddie laughing at the station while buck is trapped with his cardboard boyfriend and his boyfriend’s italian poodle named sal. like classic relationship jealousy versus jealousy over the idea of happiness and belonging WHAT are we voting for

To be honest literally every post that I keep seeing that says "I fucking hate kiperlilly" Just makes me cringe slowly. That's a teenage girl. How are you able to offer The other characters who started off as vicious assholes empathy and kindness yet you can't Like think for 3 seconds maybe possibly. Teenagers are capable of change. Like that's the whole point of fantasy high I'm pretty sure. Teenagers are capable of change. And people just keep ignoring the detail that Kipperlillys speech CHANGED AFTER SHE WAS SLAUGHTERED.

For all we know She could have genuinely been on the path of improvement. But I'm pretty sure dying is going to set back your progress a good bit especially if you're saved by a nameless rage god. And your best friend doesn't come back.

Before anyone says the bad kids have died as well. The bad kids have always been revived. I get it Kristen and Gorgug both died on their first day but, Arthur brought them both back. With practically no consequences. The bad kids have suffered death but they have not suffered the consequences of dying besides Kristen. Though I might be misremembering because I haven't watched sophomore year in a while but still. It just feels really, like hating for the sake of needing a pitch black villain. When really the entirety of the rat grinders are just more morally gray.

Anyways this is basically just me talking about how I am an adamant rat grinders defender. And I'm going to be so deeply disappointed if this season ends with killing all of the rat grinders and trying to make it like a cathartic thing. Because I don't feel like I'm going to be really cathartic about that. It's basically my feelings about la bête in never after, but for an entire group of antags

I can’t believe the penumbra podcast—the same podcast that had the entirety of season 2 center on juno’s recovery from his depression and suicidal ideation—made us listen to a fourteen year old sacrifice herself in the finale of the second citadel

they literally said: you know our beloved depressed fourteen year old with ptsd from losing her home, family, and culture? whose entire arc has been about finding a home for herself as an outcast in the world? yeah, turns out the universe is spending too much energy on keeping her alive, and she needs to kill herself to save the rest of the universe

how the fuck did we get here?

haterisms beneath the cut

this hater poll brought to you by....a series of Bad Mcfucking Takes i had to read with my own eyeballs. seriously did we read the same book or not.

explanations:

"jiang cheng killed wei wuxian": jiang cheng did not kill wei wuxian in any version of the story. in mdzs wei wuxian died from backlash and in cql wei wuxin chose to let go of lan wangji after jiang cheng stabbed the cliff face. you can argue till the cows come home about how responsible jiang cheng is for wei wuxian's demise, but "jiang cheng killed wei wuxian" is just factually incorrect.

"jiang cheng abuses jin ling": jiang cheng does not abuse jin ling. first, the narration goes out of its way to establish that jiang cheng does not hit jin ling, specifically in a setting where hitting children is normalized and expected. in fact, wei wuxian says that jin ling is bratty specifically because he's never been hit. second, jin ling is also clearly comfortable talking back to jiang cheng and needling him in a way jiang cheng definitely was not with his own parents. even when jiang cheng is actively losing it when he captures wei wuxian in qinghe, jin ling remains completely unruffled - which speaks to how much jin ling takes for granted that he is safe with jiang cheng.

"jiang cheng could have easily helped the wen remnants, he just didn't": antis love to act like yunmeng jiang could have easily taken in the wemnants and jiang cheng simply chose not to because he was a hater/super jelly/various synonyms for ontologically evil. which is not the fucking case. learn to read. yunmeng jiang's own position post sunshot was very weak - they were a great sect in name only and were excluded from the alliance tying the three other great sects together - and jiang cheng could not politically afford to protect wei wuxian after wei wuxian alienated lanling jin. that's why jiang cheng says "if you insist on doing this, i can't protect you," and why wei wuxian then tells jiang cheng to let him go. because they both understand this. come on

"jiang cheng forced jiang yanli to marry jin zixuan": jiang yanli as a character makes so many sacrifices for her family and her brothers. her relationship with zixuan is like the one thing she chooses for herself. she loves him!! the tragedy in wei wuxian killing jin zixuan is that yanli genuinely loved zixuan!! ngl i think antis argue this purely to try to exonerate wei wuxian: if jiang yanli didn't love jin zixuan then wei wuxian donutting him isn't a problem anymore, apparently. this is the result of people thinking of jiang yanli as purely a thing for wei wuxian, rather than a human being in her own right.

"jiang cheng should have protected wei wuxian from yu ziyuan": this one is annoying because jiang cheng was also a child. when a child is abused, it is the fault of the abuser, not the fault of another child who is also subject to the whims of the abuser. come on.

and are the tortured poets in the department with us….

[likeadog]

not to yuck anyones yum but senshi/chilchuck is such an odd ship to me. like senshi spends a solid chunk of the manga entirely convinced that chilchuck is a wee lad bc he looks like a child to him. what is the chemistry here this is just yaoi pairing the spares again but one of them is a bear

[dippersguidetotheunexplained]

also most annoying type of person is the one who freaks the fuck out when they get blocked because people 'cant handle dark themes in fiction' like ok buddy lets not get cocky here youre still on gravity falls tumblr with the rest of us

Accidentally went on MDZS twt and saw a "wwx was SO affected by classism" (valid by itself) take and the subsequent "yzy and jc called him the son of a servant all the time!" (Former did, latter literally says "what kind of servant has their master peeling Lotus roots for them?" He is still classist but I think it's pretty clear wwx is Family to him) takes. For good measure, JGY's name was also thrown around a bit "I don't know how anyone can sympathize with him, classism or poverty or not..." well.

There was also an LQR picked on wwx because he was a servant explanation that got quite a few likes... And I was just... Blocking people left and right for my peace of mind. I was so glad for a second that I've built my own bubble here.
