Sorry if it sounds like I was having a tantrum. I'm just frustrated at how the last time one of my blogs got shadowbanned, I got a response in a few hours and it was fixed in three days, but this time, all I get are the same goddamn emails telling me to "send a link to the post your reporting" when i didn't even report a post.
And it's been almost a week, multiple emails with the exact same response every. single. fucking. time.

seeing aroace infighting online will never not be funny so i have to green text it
>make a post appreciating aroaces whose attraction can be complex and have varying levels of sexual and romantic attraction that isnt inherently sex or romantically repulsed
>why are you pushing sexual and romantic attraction on aroaces, stop doing " and also the ones who do have sex/experiencing emotion under every post tagged for aroace"
>make a post bigging up aroaces who are completely sex and romance repulsed
cycle repeats/profit

putting this all under a readmore and not tagging i just wanted to put my thoughts down somewhere .. talking about marius and his fans & tw for mentioning csa / sa
personally. i understand that the marius/armand relationship has been a popular part of the book series for decades and it's fictional and yes i get it. but. i dont understand those fans who encounter people who find it purely horrifying or upsetting and then get mad at them for it. just because of how it's framed in the books as a beautiful gothic love story (filtered through both the author's intention & the skewed perspectives of the two characters involved in it) doesn't mean EVERYONE has to romanticise it and it's only babies or idiots or show only fans who "can't handle gothic fiction".
and then the people who try to convince everyone marius is armand's saviour who only ever treated him with love and kindness really confuse me. like, is it a wholesome relationship built on mutual love? or is it abusive and awful AND loving and caring at the same time? aren't the people who deny marius did anything wrong to armand really the ones who can't stomach enjoying gothic romances and have to twist it into something else?
it's a story of a fully grown man, a millenia old vampire, rescuing a teenager from sex slavery by purchasing him for himself, renaming him, showering him with affection, sexually abusing him, genuinely loving him, treating him like a child and an adult and student and son and lover all at the same time, making his entire world revolve around his master, punishing him emotionally and eventually physically whenever he gets too clingy or aggressive. and it's all done, not under just the 'guise' of love, but from a place of genuine love, and that's how both characters see it. it's entirely damaging and fucked up and the aftereffects of it on armand's mind and sense of self are present for centuries, compounded by everything else he went through. he still draws both comfort and pain from thinking about his past now and even tries to partially recreate the dynamic with someone else both in the book (with daniel, armand taking the role of the master; and keeping young 'mortal slaves' for a time) and in the show (with louis, armand taking the role of the slave)
it is a super fucked up relationship & i'm not one of those people who thinks you shouldn't be allowed to enjoy those in fiction. there's a lot of them that appeal to me obviously, and of course everyone has their own boundaries when it comes to that too. AND i know it's not all marius fans or even all marius/armand fans. i literally don't care what people like in fiction and i think we should all just mind our own business honestly
but it's the people who act like they're the only ones who get that it's just a tragic beautiful romance, that nobody else can read apparently, that 'marius haters' are just looking for things to be mad at that make me go ???????

I say this as a Libby/Nash enjoyer, and hopefully I won't get flack for this
I'm happy for Libby and Nash. Truly, I am. When I first started reading the original TIG trilogy, I saw the crumbs. I saw the hints of something more between the two. And despite the hope I had for Alisa and Nash, I knew it wouldn't work out (hence, why I'm making my own fic about them)
However, one of my pet peeves with the original trilogy is just... the lack of Libby. The lack of sister moments between her and Avery, and ESPECIALLY the lack of scenes we got with her and Nash.
Like— Libby and Nash are just... really irrelevant most of the time. They're either there when its required (ala, Nash only being important when a scene needs all four Hawthorne brothers), or they're completely irrelevant to the shit that went down.
Idk y'all maybe I'm just yapping bullshit, but the lack of any actual on-page development with Libby and Nash really upsets me because of how much I love them together.

okay guys im gonna need some input because i think about this everytime i go to listen to any Shadow theme song and it drives me insane
Shadow has a lot of songs that could be 'his theme song' but no one (SEGA) can decide which... so im putting it to the fandom.
Little do you all know i have a very strong opinion about this and i will be judging your choices /hj
also drop your opinions in the reblogs or comments im genuinely curious
I was gonna add Throw it All Away but these two are the ones everyone loves to use to its out of these ones lol

im saying this as a queer poc in the USA, if you support palestine and are talking about moving to a third world country to avoid trump, you're being a hypocrite and need to examine why colonizing populations participated in and justified settler colonialism in the first place

so why is nobody talking about the fact that the song is not only sexist but also racist? like WHAT the fuck who at hybe was stupid enough to let white men write a song and put a racist and sexist Asian stereotype in it and went "oh yeah checks out"??? it's not even a matter of saying the song is bad at this point! it's fucking awful! who the fuck thought it was a good idea genuinely i have questions. who the FUCK.

my sister is so fucking annoying cus she randomly started talking about genshin earlier even tho idgaf about genshin, and she mentioned theyre making a world based on meso-america and spain combined. and yeah obvs thats pretty shitty of a thing to do but i tried pointing out that since genshin is a Chinese game the developers probably dont have that much knowledge about meso-america, cus china and meso-america are completely disconnected cultures, and she got mad and said soemthing about them having good representation of middle eastern/SWANA cultures, and i tried to point out that china and the middle east have shared history of trade and interaction so theyre probably gonna know more about those cultures, and then she called me a sinophobe ???
like it's not like i was either defending the devs or saying that specifically because theyre chinese thats why, i was just pointing out the basic fact that cultures that don't/haven't interacted tend to be less knowledgeable abot eachother??? and i tried explaining i wasnt tryna defend them like i genuinely dont give a shit about whatever genshin devs are doing but she just takes everything as an attack and never fucking listens aughhhh

fucking vindication man
my sister was just minding her business in the basement eating breakfast and my stepdad came down and asked "why do you have the light on" and she was like "so i can see?" and the thing about my stepdad is that he's incapable of softening his tone (and will pretend he doesnt understand that his tone is aggressive even though he can understand when YOUR tone is aggressive/rude) so even an innocuous question like that sounds like an attack, so my sister's response was also super subdued and irritated. this isn't the first time an exchange like that has happened but it was the first time that he kinda hesitated and was like "wait what did i just say that upset you?" and she started to speak like she was going to explain, then thought better of it and just said "it's nothing"
LIKE YEAH DUDE. WHEN YOU CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY CONSTANTLY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THEMSELVES TO YOU AND AT THE SAME TIME THEY CAN'T BE COMFORTABLE BRINGING UP THINGS YOUVE DONE OR SAID TO UPSET THEM WITHOUT YOU JUST ARGUING WITH THEM TO JUSTIFY HOW THEYRE WRONG FOR BEING UPSET AND YOUVE NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG, THEN PEOPLE ARENT GONNA FUCKIN TALK TO YOU. ITS SO SIMPLE.
