#i write when im mad and tired

[the-trash-eating-llama]

It's visceral, and yet, nostalgic.

Ðe rage in ðe air, ðe fire in ðe streets, ðe dead on ðe ground, and ðe lies in discarded cartridges.

I can taste it, so can you, it's ðe call we all hear and know is for us, ðe need for liberation.

Peace is a white man's word, I once heard a black man say, and I þink it's mostly true.

I þink peace is an oppressors word, one of ðe many implements ðat lines ðeir armoury, ðeir arsenal. Ðey use it to quash ðe sparks of freedom and survival, because ðat is what governments were built to do.

Ðe reason our ancestors created governments was to trade freedom and rights for protection, and if you were to talk to any philosophy major, you'd know how shit an idea "Picking up ðe gun so your neighbor can't shoot you" mentality is.

And ðe worst part? We didn't get ðe choice.

We didn't choose to sacrifice our freedom, much like how intersex children don't get to decide if ðe doctor can mutilate ðeir pelvis, nor how any poor person gets to decide what ðey eat tomorrow.

We did not step in a bear trap, and we do not deserve our fate to be decide by some suit in an office made by stolen labour on stolen land.

We live in a system built on keeping ðe smart people silent and ðe loud people dumb, ðe strong misguided and ðe wise numb. We cannot let our shackles tie us to ðe ground from which our parents died to aquire.

Ðe only way to kill an impenetrable beast is to starve it.

I am not suggesting we spend our last years playing into ðe hands of anarchy, nor do I suggest we repeat ðe actions of our parents.

No, I suggest we take a lesson from ðe poison ðat has eaten away our life force.

We drink ðe antidote.

Evil is a bully, one who plays a school yard game by taking our friends and separating us. It takes our abilities and shames us. It points out our inherent traits, and mocks us for ðem.

So we show ðem how warped ðeir perception is.

Open your windows.

Knock on your neighbor's door.

Hand ðem some food and ask ðem for ðeir name.

Take some time and look þrough your local events, like town fairs and museums tours.

Enjoy your company.

Enjoy your skills and ðe þings you learn.

Enjoy life.

Ðe world is crumbling and nature is taking its dues. Ðe rich have cashed ðeir last check and now face ðe debts ðey know ðey cannot pay. Ðe government knows we will not stay silent.

We are a people, and we will not be made bullet bags.

Llama out.

25 years ago an unknown Chinese protester stood in front of a tank in defiance of the government. No one knows the identity of the man but he was given the nick name “Tank Man”. This is one of the most iconic photographs of the century.

Everytime I look at Tumblr and see the tl I remember why I hate endgame with a passion you couldn't understand.

They fucked up Steve and Bucky so bad (yes, Bucky too bc suddenly he doesn't matter/isn't even a secondary character that deserves to be near Steve)

It's so funny to me (not) bc they talked about gay characters being in the movie at panels and interviews and even talked about Stucky at some point (basically queerbaiting) for then... Steve not even acknowledging Bucky. An awkward and impersonal hug doesn't cut it.

And Steve suddenly yearning and talking about Peggy? When he didn't even mourned her that bad and already had let her go ages ago? They knew they fucked up in CATWS with Steve and Buckys relationship, so they tried to distance them and then inserted Peggy bc ofc

(they possibly didn't have the time for a new character and they already had fucked up pairing Nat and Bruce and Wanda and Vision). Steve didn't have anyone else he cared about so they couldn't give him a new girlfriend. So they used Peggy AGAIN.

I'm not mad bc "Stucky not canon grr"

No.

I'm fucking pissed off because they did the worst character assassination and friendship assassination possible. Every movie of Cap America revolved around Steve saving Bucky at some point and him caring about him above all else, and you want me to believe that Steven Grant Rogers didn't care about him when Bucky died in front of his eyes? AGAIN? That Peggy's death was more important and impactful for him? If that was the case then why the fuck did he crash the plane then? If he cared so much about Peggy since forever?

No, that was just lazy writing and a way to reinforce Steve's sexuality "He can't be gay and you can't say that bc he LOVES PEGGY"(even tho he only kissed her once, even tho he crashed the plane and didn’t give her the coordinates, he didn't really care that much after all) they could have paired him with Nat in later movies, but they didn't.

That's why I only raise my eyebrows a lil when people say that x character will be gay canonically in a marvel movie/series. Is more than possible they won't. And if they are they're Deadpool, a secondary character no one cares about (obscure in lore too, so they can cut them off) or is plain queerbaiting again (because yes, even if you don’t see Steve and Bucky’s relationship as romantic, they DID QUEERBAIT IT)

Steve and Buckys relationship wasn't even written in a romantic way (you can ship them or not), but they tried so hard to rectify Steve's heterosexuality in endgame, that they fucked up their character arcs on purpose. And now they will always feel hollow and inconclusive. A bad taste in the mouth, a painful reminder of what it was and a what? 11 year long? characterization.

Idk man, I know I've talked about this more than three times, but omfg Tumblr reminds me why I hate that fucking movie!!! It's not my fault!!!

I know I'm going to end up writing something out of spite bc I can't take it shdkdjjcif

"It's been more than 4 years get over it" NEVER

Also the bit with Johnny Storm in Deadpool and Wolverine was also a dig (a fuck you if you will) to the fans bc Deadpool explicitly calls him Cap. And it implies that Steve as a character (not that old Steve nonsense) won't be back.

It's funny they've remade over and over again some movies (Fantastic 4, Spiderman) changed actors for characters (James/war machine, Bruce) and they include them in the multiverse/plot, but they won't do the same to some movies and some characters when they fuck up their stories, because they know if they do, they will have to acknowledge WHY they did it. Like with James/war machine changing actors.

So yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't care about Marvel anymore.

**I mean remake the movies ((Also they Can't remake Cap America bc that would mean they need to remake every important movie. And they don't have the time, the money nor the need. So that's why they decided to fuck their character arcs))

or include some characters in multiverse (they're going to do that with Tony/RDJ/Dr Doom after all, no?) and they also won't remake Cap bc the movies are amazing.

But the point stands. Steve couldn't be in DaW bc that would imply he's an alternative one or that Old!Steve was an alternative one or wasn't even Steve to begin with. But they couldn't do that ofc, no, bc that would give the fans hope in seeing Steve and Bucky together once again. So they did a dig at the fans bc "haha you thought it was Steve, but it's Johnny!"

Idk if I'm making sense at this point I'm tired af, need to sleep.

The thing is that they fucked up Steve Rogers's arc on purpose (Bucky's too, and others charas too tbh) and now they expect the fans to accept everything they give us with open arms. And imho I won't accept shit.

"Deadpool saved the MCU" how? If the other og characters are DEAD or they fucked them up too? Or are the butt of the joke now? Don't make me laugh. Most people don't gaf bout the new charas bc they only are presented in series not everyone watches (only available in one place) or are presented with characters that are dead now or as a replacement for the og characters. They aren't interesting on their own (not really, at least in mcu) and that's why most of the new stuff isn't liked as much. If they wanted to present more characters the opportunity passed already.

Also now if you want to watch and really understand 1 movie (if you don't read the comics too) you need to watch like 20 other movies and 5 shows. it's fucking exhausting.

thinking about that one post about "he's a girl to me" or whatever. and that has me thinking about heavensward so much. and also stormblood! kinda just ffxiv in general but I feel the later expansions have this issue less but ESPECIALLY like. estinien, aymeric, and zenos when compared to the actual women in the expansion. it feels to me like the women of the expansion are by and far overlooked by people for the sake of the men and that general "he's so girl to me" contributes to it. Like there ARE women right there you know. like there are very very very good women just a few feet to the left. you can talk about how girlie estinien is to you but like. ysayle is right there. you can talk about how babygirl zenos is but also. there's fordola. you know that right. like you can enjoy the women too. it's ok.

and ofc genuine actual transfem headcanons are SO fucking good. I love them so much. keep going. But like that post has said, when it's only men in the fandom being treated as "he's so girl" (AND NEVER WOMAN!!!! ALWAYS GIRL!!!!!) it gets really really fucking tiring.

i love estinien! I really like Zenos! I get it! And if they are your favorite characters and you want specifically content about them and to make content specifically about them that is FINE!! but also, holy shit is it exhausting when it's like 99% about them and not a single glimpse towards the women of the story. yeah ffxiv's writing has a huuuuuuge fucking issue with women. and also.

"i feel like she sees me"

Girl like. The reason he said "this is how it should be" and faced death with a smile....is cuz he wanted to die. For 2 years he sat there thinking he was worthless and deserved to die. If he hadn’t be shot, his death would’ve been suicide, he was fully planning to die in a gutter somewhere undetected. When saying "this is how it should be" hes literally saying "don’t cry because I’m dying, my death is a good thing actually because I fucking suck and you are better off without me". I don’t think that’s badass even slightly, it’s actually really sad and really shitty. Shinjiro is so convinced that he deserves to die and hates the idea of anyone giving a shit about him because he literally can’t wrap his mind around the idea that he will be missed when he’s gone, that his death is a bad thing actually. And his last words were meant to be comforting because he fully did not intend for anyone to be there when he died, he intended to die alone, so he says them as a reminder that he’s not worth crying over

Personally, if it were me, if I was holding my dying best friend in my arms who was deeply depressed and suicidal and he said "this is how it should be" uh. I wouldn’t admire him for it??? Like am I losing my mind when I say the way this game handles Shinji is bad or is anyone else seeing this too 😰

Me, playing Story of Seasons Trio of Towns: Okay so I know I can't change my body type to fat (because I am irl and want to be accurate), so I'll just choose the baggiest clothes options to make it look like I'm bigger.

Character I'm trying to romance; Wow! You're really slim! I thought you'd be bulkier as a farmer! I mean it, you're really slender!

I need isekai comic authors to stop putting slavery in their comics. Because most times it's badly handled. Either it's a plot device used to show how kind hearted our MC is that they'd free someone, our mc keeps the person they bought as a slave but it's fine "because they're nice" or the person who was enslaved becomes a villain. And it always makes me drop the comic. Because rarely if ever is it used to show how corrupt the system is and lead to the main character trying to change things.

The most egregious example of this is Rashta from Remarried empress. Originally I hated her. But once we get introduced to her former owner I just hated the author. Because how do you make someone a former slave, victim of SA, give them a child that was taken from them and used as a threat, and then make them the antagonist for doing whatever it takes to survive.

She was given the personality of a spoiled, naive, rich girl to make her easy to hate it's so aggrevating. Nothing about her works as a character and the consistent use of her past as a gacha to show how low class she is compared to the female lead was just mind numbing. I get aggrevated seeing rashta now, not because I hate her, but because I hate how sloppily written she was as an antagonist and how we're expected to just accept that she doesn't deserve good things at all because the author made her how she was.

Slavery in general in fantasy is just a bad trope but when it's used like this, it's clear just how bad it is.

People who get mad at things like a chubby reader or poc reader are just showing another aspect of their privilege bc we know most fanfic is catered to a skinny, short white girl 😐 let people enjoy fandom!!!

YEAH !!-!-&/&/&&&/ it is literally the inherent bias of the world they’re carrying w them. not to get too into it but like. the way society (esp america) is set up is to support and uplift white, attractive people. that bias n influence is EVERYWHEREEE even in fanfic bro LIKE LETS TAKE A BREAK N JUST ENJOY THINGS PLS 😋🤞🏼

I don't understand why people get frustrated at things they knew were gonna happen because someone else is chronically I'll and it's happened multiple times before so it's not like it's new, like oh yeah sorry for existing like this

[traumagenica]

USE YOUR WORDS SPEAK WITH YOUR WHOLE CHEST goddamn!
