#i support both… to be clear

[sammygender]

We don't know that guy.

Before anyone starts whining, go donate to the fund OUR community started for actual SA victims. Shut up and put a dollar on the jar. Thanks, Good Night.

Thinking about how Fleabag says that Claire stays with Martin because he makes her laugh like no one else. And then the very next episode Fleabag makes Claire laugh so hard she disrupts the whole room. At a silent retreat. CLAIRE breaks the RULES to LAUGH at FLEABAG'S JOKE!!!

And in that episode Fleabag also says she and Claire would make a cute couple,,,, it's about setting fleabag and Martin up as oppositional forces in Claire's life who ultimately fulfill the same need, and Fleabag does it better! Fleabag makes Claire laugh. Fleabag supports Claire personally and professionally. She even provides Claire with sexual pleasure when she gives her the vibrator for her birthday (after confirmation that Claire and Martin are Not Fucking). And ultimately, Fleabag is the only person Claire would run through an airport for!! They aren't friends they're sisters!!!

Incorrect, the fact that Biden has dropped out and a candidate with history of supporting medicare for all and being more receptive to a ceasefire in the I/P conflict has made me go from "I cannot morally support the Democratic nominee" to "I am voting for the Democratic nominee despite the fact she isn't perfect in every respect." I'm really happy this played out. The Dems for the most part abandoned the old Obama platform and it feels like its possible an actual progressive agenda could come to pass in my lifetime.

Kamala 2024!

If you weren't going to vote Democratic in this election before Biden dropped out you're a dorkass loser who does not care about any of the issues you're yammering about here and also a fundamentally bad person, and I hope you get run over by a bus.

But you got one thing right in all of this gibberish, Kamala 2024.

RIP Christopher Benjamin (27.12.1934 - 15.1.2025)

"That was another reason, in a way, that I decided to give [stage acting] up, because I was getting a bit - a bit dicey with the lines. People sort of wrote down, quite often, the things I said... instead of the things I should have said. They were known as my bloopers: 'Benjamin bloopers'. Some of my inventions were very good, I must admit. My feeling was, if I dried, I had to say something - and so that something was something that amused the rest of the cast considerably, quite often."

everyone say hi to Hinata’s animal summons Fuyu and Yuki!

One thing about me is that if you shun or try to isolate a friend of mine (or just anyone who you’ve dubbed a “fault in the system” or harmful despite evidence to the contrary) after you misjudged them for being a bad or malicious or untrustworthy person, I am going to rabidly support them and be extra fucking loud about it and make sure their voices are heard from every corner and it will literally be my driving force to stay online and alive for years.

"this ur fave?"

saw this on twt and it did make me giggle because Armin did far worse than Caitlyn ever did, so if you're an Armin fan you realllly can't be going that hard on Cait (said as a massive Armin fan who's eh on Cait).

you can discuss how the narrative of Arcane handled her character or policing as a system, or their differing ideologies, etc, but comparing Caitlyn to Hitler when your fave is Armin, who LITERALLY killed thousands personally and enabled near omnicide (albeit (mostly) unknowingly), is wild. the comparison is extremely distasteful and inaccurate - especially having seen the racist "Caitler" caricature going around.

Caitlyn's crimes are bad enough without such exaggeration: she was a dictator doing evil cop stuff, not committing genocide or waging war for territorial expansion, or even committing mass murder.

It reminds me of the Eren stans I'd encounter back in the day who hated on Catra and it was like. Oh you love your glorious king when he does omnicide but a catgirl does it and suddenly it's too far? 🧐 alright buddy

honestly comparing the crimes of most AoT characters is almost always gonna be a losing battle lol. though it seems twt users are now claiming Mikasa intentionally enabled genocide (though she ended it) and that AoT supports genocide?? it explicitly does not, what are we doing here

I was watching hotd edits and reading atla fanfics and my brain just exploded

They are variants of each other, their suffering mirrors each other’s

Their awful marriages they were forced into

A royal or high standing family that has some connection to fire, a power or tool they lack

Their one eyed sons who were so kind as children and later grew to be harsh( zuko and todoroki both were able to learn to be kind again and to not lash out or shut down every time they’re upset, Aemond sadly did not learn that)

The absurd amount of blame they get for the way some of their children turned out ( yes they hold some blame, but I’m always hearing about what they did wrong and not hearing nearly enough about what the fathers did wrong, to me those men are primarily to blame; viserys targaryen, ozai and enji todoroki i wish all of you suffered more(ESPECIALLY ENDEAVOR HE DID NOT DESERVES TO JUST LIVE PEACEFULLY HE SHOULD HAVE DIED) Especially because they too were victims and were often doing the best they knew how to do for themselves and their kids even if it wasn’t enough or backfired massively (alicent)

Oh my tragic girllssss

i feel like it's pretty safe to assume the people who say Chaggie is toxic because of Vaggie's attachment to Charlie haven't really been deeply in love before, especially not in a situation where their partner literally saved their life.

Sure a dynamic like that could go sour if you become too overbearing/demanding or controlling out of fear of losing them, but Vaggie is very obviously not that?

I can't exactly put the feeling into words, it's sort of a situation you have to experience in order to understand. But when you owe someone your life, especially when it feels that person is also your soulmate, of course you dedicate the rest of it to making them happy and giving unyielding support. Of course you feel like you owe them the world, because they're your whole world and the only reason you're even still here.

Yes it can create a power imbalance and your partner could take advantage of the obsessive loyalty that level of dependency breeds, but Charlie chooses not to because shes not abusive and she respects and loves vaggie.

Charlie recognizes that Vaggie has self worth issues and places her value in how useful she is to her, and instead of making it into a toxic situation charlie takes the time to reassure vaggie that she doesn't need to be 'proving' herself and that she is loved and valued as she is.

every time i think about how Megan Thee Stallion is technically filed under the bisexual women category on Wikipedia but there's no mention of it in the article itself except something along the lines of 'she's continuously expressed interest in women :))))' a kind of incandescent rage fills me that i cannot even begin to describe. not even remotely this needs to stop

Even though I know that most of the science around breastfeeding and better outcomes in life is absolute crap*, I cannot help internally judging my SIL for "giving up" on breastfeeding after nine months. It's stupid, it's completely illogical, it's mean! But that is how I feel.

Maybe I'm judgey because I stuck it out for a whole year with both of my children even though I got mastitis constantly. It hurt like hell, like having a knife shoved into my chest with a bonus high fever, but I persisted. Why? It was clear I was prone to mastitis, why didn't I let myself off? It felt like a moral failing if I gave in. Am I really thinking that because I persevered through unnecessary pain that other people should too?

Not even I truly believe that the very best thing for a child is a happy and healthy mom. I should believe that. That is the objective, evidence-supported truth. Why can I not believe it? Why can I not be kind even to myself?

*too many confounding variables, ie. parents who breastfeed for longer also tend to be richer and can give their children other advantages. There is solid evidence that it's better for digestion and for premature babies, but the IQ test stuff is not well-supported. Also, having a happy and healthy mother (and father but usually mom is on leave) is the best thing by far for a baby.

I almost feel like the Union is vague posting about creators with the wording of their last statement in some areas. Like,, please just say what creators are saying these things and what they have said that is encouraging harassment.

If that sort of statement is legally acceptable, then just go for it. Quackity is being very quite on many aspects of this case and he says it is for legality. I don’t know the ins and outs of US law so maybe some of that is bullshit. Maybe he can be open about much more. I would appreciate if the Union, was in turn, also open about their statements if that is the case. If the law allows for more open speech then damn! I would appreciate more of it please.

Quackity hasn’t mentioned any streamers outside of himself and I don’t think he has ever said past admins are the ones causing his harassment. (If that is wrong I would like to know it.)

Also if there are creators specifically causing harm to the Union’s clients, like they seem to be implying, I would also like to know that.

Okay so I think I've finally finished having my long think about teen Shauna lmao

I really really love her arc and I think her whole journey so far is one of the best in the series (probably alongside Nat who also has incredible character progression) and USUALLY I'm all over deranged characters (Villanelle, Rhiannon Lewis, Alice Morgan, Emma Grossman... The list goes on)

HOWEVER

I think the reason I'm not perceiving Shauna in the same way as this long parade of other absolutely deranged female characters is because you're not MEANT to. The show is raw and dark and mildly upsetting with her on PURPOSE and I think I'm picking up what they're putting down- her portrayal, like most of the other characters, isn't MEANT to be black and white- in the context of the show, there isn't really a definite you should or shouldn't fully like her at any given point (ESPECIALLY not now with it getting particularly complicated)

She's an excellent character and I understand her motivations and actions and that's the important thing- however unfortunately I still can't get behind them in the latter half of the season 😭 girl I get it but watching all the actual damage she's doing to the others DOES invoke similar feelings that I have for Aemond in HotD and that's not a good thing

[bird-butch]

love it when they do this to him.

I think the best part of Heretics is that Frisk is just a regular person and Sans is a fucking demon from hell and yet at any point in the fic they are the scariest person in the room.

Sans just took down 6 people in mere seconds prior to this scene. Doesn't matter, Frisk is queen and they get their time to shine whenever they want to.

The second best part is that Frisk gets to kill their stupid father.
