#how dare we have fun

[meowpupp]

the tiktok cod community makes me so mf mad.

'me when their oc is a 19y/o, 5'1ft lieutenant-'

babes, sorry to be the one to tell you, but oc's are allowed to be whatever the fuck a person wants them to.

at the end of the day, oc's are a major part of fandom culture. if you're against indulgent oc's, you're against 90% of fan created content. (fanart, fanfiction, fan games, etc).

you cannot tell another person how to enjoy something. as long as the oc meets obvious criteria (eg, 18+), literally why the fuck do you care. you don't look cool for shitting on people who are just having fun. especially if it's in their own little corner of the internet. you look like one of those weird guys obsessed with ww2.

but boy, I bet you'd be real fun at parties. 🤡

Thoughts on Bridgerton S3

I'M JUST RANTING OKAY I've only seen part 2 once and these are just my thoughts and feelings I am gonna throw here and delete later when I probably change my mind after rewatching?? I just gotta rant😭

Penelope was so gracious and understanding and forgiving and I felt she deserved, in many moments, to be rightfully more upset, more vindictive, more fiercely witty and proud. Though I do LOVE all the things getting resolved and solved and brought to light and happy endings (I actually do love it), the journey there for me was missing a healthy and (imo) realistic dose of female rage. Just for the dramaaa come on. All the other drama going on here and Penelope is 'grateful for your counsel?' bfr. I'll show you grateful for your counsel by hating on it! She can show everyone her heart AND her teeth. She is more than capable and I thought that her character was reduced too much in the last four episodes. Penelope I want you to have everything, including your full range of emotion and humor and wit. Drink more w/ Madame Delacroix okay?? And with Lady Danbury.

I feel like my husbandColin was weirdly sidelined? I'm actually quite grateful for Part1 Colin, because I haven't landed anywhere yet with Part2 Colin. I knew he was jealous, I knew he was always going to forgive her...and we all knew he loved her....so the conflict/tension between them was not as interesting- for me! Just for meee. And stupidly drawn out. FOR MEEEEE. He had taken so many 'gallant' steps in his relationship with Penelope so when their wedding day and night and subsequent honeymoon days arrived and he was stuck in that attitude I was so unmoved. Don't play with me, Colin. Go worship your wife.

I JUST WANTED ANOTHER PURE VIOLET MOMENT! OF ANY KIND! Like before/about her dance with Marcus come oonnn! This is Violet! Please for the love. Also give me a convo with her and Penelope! Just one real one?? Damn. Her resolution with Francesca was alright? I guess. I do love that she isn't perfect with all of her kids, esp her daughters. But I feel they planted a lot of stuff for her as a mother and as a woman wanting to 'tend to her garden' you know? And it fell awkwardly for me. My favorite Bridgerton forever though.

HATE HATE HATE that Colin went to Cressida's house to make things worse trope. Seen it before. Didn't like it then and I don't like it now. AND he was forgiven so quickly. Absolutely not. DO NOT GO INTO ROOMS ALONE WITH ANYONE ANYMORE COLIN BRIDGERTON UNLESS IT IS UR WIFE PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME SLASH MY SCREEN. Go home to your wife and fix it there before you try to be all heroic outside of it okay. I will shave your head. I think I need Daphne.

Dear Eloise, you don't know what it is to be a friend, to have a friend, or even to lose a friend. Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong, maybe I don't care idk. But we start the show humanizing Cressida, bully since season 1 episode 1, THROUGH Eloise. BUT WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE FRIENDSHIP TO MEAN SOMETHING TO EITHER OF THEM Eloise willfully gave up, walked away, ran to the comfort of her privilege with her family and way-too-understanding friend. HOW DID WE CHAMPION SO MANY WOMEN ONLY TO ABANDON THIS THING W/ Cressida at the end as she was literally sent away alone.

Lady Danbury complaints similar to Violet. She is usually a more prominent player, so when she wasn't this season, well, I missed her and wanted anything more about her. But! Love her all the same.

HOW DARE THEY throw Kanthony back and forth all weirdy like that. Kate is here, just let us have Kate. And her lil loving husband. Come oooonnn. Three babies at the end and none of them Kate's😭 And Violet was overwhelmed and they didn't get to have another moment?? A lot of off-screen moments are told to us and we just get to believe whoever says whatever. Every actor here has shown they have skills for show-don't-tell productions! All those beautiful eyes! I just am feeling upset about the random use of this gorgeous couple. EVEN ANTHONY, Viscount and eldest brother of them all just walks away at one point when Colin is obviously needing more of him. Whatever.

Why why why did we have an original song PLUS an orchestral cover of it for both to be so unused??? Tori Kelly's song is so wedding-coded and so romantic and earnest. But it didn't make an appearance for Polin at all. Not at their wedding, not in their home, not in the carriage, not anywhere...

Maybe unpopular opinion but I hated "Yellow" being the wedding song. First see the point above and then please please just remember how much Penelope did to distance herself from that fucking color and the horrible memories of it. NOW! IF COLIN HAD MENTIONED IT SOME WAY OR WHATEVER THEN SUUUURRREEE keep the song. HOWEVER. EVEN THE WEDDING WAS NOT YELLOW, HER FAMILY WASN'T IN YELLOW, WE DIDN'T TALK ABOUT IT AT ALL WHY IS IT THE FUCKING WEDDING SONG WHEN THERE ARE MANY OTHER OPTIONNNNSSSSS WHYYYYY (idc why, I just hated it, even if I did cry).

Benedict has been cute and boring for far too long and that did not change for me in this season. TWO BRIDGERTONS with queer representation in an already huge season with so many storylines going on, I wish we could've celebrated it better. Amongst the thousands of other things that were being celebrated, Benedict has still been separated from them in weird ways.

Not a big point, just an interesting one. But where did Debling go? He just effed off to the wilderness? We spent a lot of time with him (and Cressida) in the first four eps.....and then he was gone.....okay.

Charlotte, I love you. You should know that first. But man you love to crash a party, and a wedding, and I just feel like you should've at least killed someone by now with all these theatrics. Even for Charlotte, I felt she was strangely incorporated into this last half of the season. She and Penelope are technically equals in many many ways- BUT WE NEVER GOT TO SEE THAT WIT AND BANTER PLAY OUT MORE WHYYYY

All in all. It's just my rantings. I was absolutely in love with the first four episodes. There was something so fairytale about it and it was so romantic. So, yes, I was disappointed in part 2 on the initial watch, despite the many things I loved about it. There was a lot going on and, sadly, most did not land for me. Yet.

It's a good show, I still love the show. I will be watching the show. Give me more of the show lol.

Why do you say morals like it's a bad thing? When did it become a bad thing lmfao. Who is asking you to agree with amoral stances or do you have skeletons in your closet? Creepy.

god i love tumblr anons so much. no i don't think having morals is bad LOL its just been a long time since ive seen hatred of a media that wasnt based on the disgusting immorality/cruelties committed in said media. its fun to hate on things that dont matter sometimes

Silly little idea/hc about Q!Fit and rock climbing.

In 2b2t, it was mainly something he did to get away from people. It's very common to get chased in 2b2t, and at times it could be hard to traverse the landscape, especially the areas that were covered with lavacasts and near spawn. There's not always enough time to get put your elytra, especially with how it makes your chest area vulnerable, so being able to maneuver around difficult terrain was a necessary skill- one Fit was particularly good at.

Not many people take the time to learn it- it requires a lot of upper body strength and co-ordination, theres also a chance of falling and taking unnecessary damage and it leaves you vulnerable to end crystal attacks if you're not fast enough - but Fit has perfected the art of rock climbing. Whenever he's in a tough spot, he always manages to get away by climbing some nearby mountain or lavacast, putting enough distance between him and his pursuers to get his elytra on and make a speedy escape.

Sometimes, when he knows he's alone or he's far out enough, he likes to climb the highest lavacast he can find. The exercise is good when you're not under the threat of dying, and the satisfaction of getting to the top is one of the few things Fit enjoyed a lot about 2b2t. There's also some killer views you can get, and we all know how Fit likes his cinematic shots- it reminds him that even in 2b2t, the oldest, most chaotic place on earth, there's good things to see and experience. There's something to live for, something worth fighting for.

(But no matter how beautiful it looks, he can never see the end of 2b2t. He can never see a way out. But he can wonder, imagine and hope that maybe one day, he'll see what's beyond the hellhole he calls home. Maybe.)

In Quesadilla Island, he doesn't really get to do it as much. There's not much time, there's so many new people and places (and threats) and things to do that he hasn't gone rock climbing. He also doesn't feel as much of a need to- in 2b2t, it was an escape for him, however brief. And slowly but surely, he's stopped running away, he's moving forward, trying to keep up with the sudden change of pace Quesadilla Island has bought.

But now, after purgatory, after the entire ordeal of losing the eggs for months and finally getting them back, after the black concrete after the rebellion-

Maybe, he can take a little break. Maybe, he can slow down for a few days. His son is safe, no one is actively hurting or hunting them just yet- its the calm before the storm, he knows, but just this one time, maybe he wants to savour it. A new chapter is starting, but for now... he'll stay where he is and stay in the moment. Let himself appreciate everything around him, everything he's been through and everything that will come.

He deserves a little rest, I think.

i was worried id like bg3 more than dragon age which was one of the reasons i was hesitant to play it (my brain is weird idk) but bioware went and publicly executed themselves today for some reason so. bg3 time.

[fisherrprince]

aw zoinks I KNEW 5.3 was gonna be mean to ME

[pink-wysteria]

FUCK, I'm going to have to do a durge playthrough after I finish this one, aren't I? SHIT

[emmodii-mode]

In my defence, what was I supposed to do? Leave their corpses to rot?

[secondstar-acorn]

not to be angry on main but to the person who was very loudly complaining about "just for once" and started making fun of me for handing out bracelets in the queue for starkid. why the fuck were you there

[ganondoodle]

so .. i did all the glyphs (but by far not all dungeons and theres still ton to do) and boi

i feel weird about saying this but i am … not invested at all in the story, like even the stuff with zelda (a plotpoint which i called out correctly right shortly after the beginning even lol) didnt get to me even a little bit and ganondorf feels even flatter as a character than before :I

[8-rae-rae-8]

I wasn't prepared for how wanting a hug from a friend that's thousands of miles away would feel like a stab in the chest. They don't tell you that shit hurts and you can't do anything about it

[fitzrove]

Started watching a "problem with greek myth retellings" video and it began with a blurb montage like "Condemned by the misogynist guys of history, this is the true girlboss feminist story of [A WOMAN]" and like. brb writing one of those about crown prince rudolf. It's ok he's like a misunderstood girlboss to me<3

[oplishin]

are we meant to find seth leaning into the bootlicker allegations sympathetic. because i really don't

[variablejabberwocky]

what i have learned from tumblr in the last three days is to shut the fuck up and stop trying to help people

if you help you will get reamed for trying to be [INSERT BIGOTRY HERE] because someone starts making assumptions about you that have nothing to do with what you said

if you try to correct those assumptions you will get reamed more and it will be taken as proof of your guilt

if you say nothing more it'll be taken as more proof

if you say you are dipping out of the conversation because clearly everyone is NOT on the same page here, it will also be taken as more proof

so, this is what you are teaching people when you do this shit to them:

STOP HELPING

HELPING WILL BE PUNISHED

HARMING WILL BE REWARDED

ALL HAIL THE ETERNAL CRAB BUCKET

Isn't it funny how today it’s pretty common belief on here that the idea of 'cringe' and shaming of people who like 'cringe' things is bad. That the big fandoms back in the day that people like to make fun of - superwholock and john green books and twilight and homestuck and whatever was popular at the time - certainly had elements very deserving of critique, but how that critique largely drowned under people pointing and laughing at, the mostly teen girl, fans. Like, we are pretty agreed that this was bad, right? That it’s cruel to actual people and makes it difficult to have genuine conversations about the actual flaws of the media and fandoms in question, right??

And yet here we are today and I see people doing the exact same thing to newer fandoms with the defense that the fans are cringe or, if you're trying to be all moral about it, problematic and possibly evil for liking a popular media. Like, I don’t care about reylo or our flag means death or taylor swift or romantasy novels to any particular extent. I don’t have a horse in this race. But I keep seeing their fans treated as acceptable targets for harrassment or bullying. Posts talking about how immoral they are and then their screenshoted 'proof' is mostly just. Women being passionate about a thing that they love, or god forbid daring to defend it or being bummed about everyone else harrassing them. And I think it's kind of scary how we keep repeating this cycle of designating a media as inherently problematic, therefore all of its fans are problematic, therefore they are deserving of every ounce of mocking and public shaming they get.
