#it’s almost condescending

the type of character that just smirks at you when you’re on top makes me feel so—

i'm a us liberal and i think you're cool

i highly doubt you're a liberal then and just think liberal = leftist which it very much does not

Zutara antis are the weirdest ppl on earth to me bc how do you see him lay down his life for her and her subsequently heal him while panicking and go "they would've been toxic!!" How do you watch the southern raiders in it's entirety and believe their relationship remained unbalanced and Bad and Problematic. HOW do you see his respect for her and her concern for him after they became friends and believe they would've been a bad and ugly couple. Whether you ship them or not, they are FRIENDS and their relationship was actually one of the healthiest once she forgave him. People won't even admit they were friends who cared for each other like are you THAT threatened by a non canon ship 20 years after yours became endgame? Are you really, seriously that bothered by their dynamic being nice and friendly? Be fr. Not shipping them is one thing but fully denying that they're friends who care about each other because you're so bothered by the IDEA that other people believe they would've worked romantically is weird as hell.

When I talk about something bad I've experienced, Baked In to my experience as A Woman, I am not "making my little cousins feel like shit for being women", because I am talking in a space with, allegedly, adults. I am not bringing my problems to children in the first place. That said, I don't HAVE to make my baby cousin feel bad, because she's already experienced sexual harassment in her life, and she's only 8, and doesn't even understand what any of it means yet. And everyone in her family can try to instill confidence in her, and never talk about our bodies in a negative way. But she can still feel like she's too chubby, because she still goes to school, and talks to other kids and their parents, and still sees ads, and still watches tv. We can be positive, but we can't fix the root of the problem. And I don't HAVE to tell trans women that "pain is a rite of passage", because that's not a Rule being enforced (by me), because I've already sat and listened to my friend complain about constantly shaving as a Baseline necessity and how it hurts her skin and she has to put makeup onto fresh cuts on her face because going out without a full face of properly feminine makeup would make her life worse, and being anything less than thin and lithe makes her "less feminine", and ALL the things that can make her "more feminine" are behind a paywall. And I can try to make her feel better, and I can hear her experiencing the tenfold version of problems I relate to, but I can't fix the root cause of her problems by just telling her not to complain. Forcing happiness as a core personality trait for women is not the Girlboss Feminist move that you think it is, and no amount of gender euphoria in the world will make you immune to systemic oppression.

Some of Tee and Ja'Marr's thoughts on the Tee Situation

Tee said to me 'right now I get to play with one of the, if not the, best quarterbacks in the game, I get to play with one of, if not the, best wide receivers in the game, that opens up so much more for me.' And then he said 'this offense is designed for so many different players to be spotlighted, the way that I am used in this offense so plays to my strengths.' And then he said to me, 'can you guarantee I can have that exact situation anywhere else?'

....

So do I think he's taking a home discount? No. But I do think that he is very very smart, he sees the whole picture out there...

....

It's very easy to compare this situation to what Ja'Marr had at LSU with Joe Burrow and Justin Jefferson. And Ja'Marr has said Tee is very different than Justin Jefferson. That every single minute with Justin Jefferson was a competition. That everything was who makes the more dynamic catch, who has more catches in practice, who runs faster? Everything was that way. Ja'Marr had to speak up and demand the ball a lot at LSU, because so was Justin. Ja'Marr told me that he doesn't have to do that in Cincinnati because Tee, and this is a quote from Ja'Marr, is one of the most unselfish humans you'll ever meet.

To be honest I don't really want mutuals who instantly assume I commented in bad faith to act "condescending" when I was nothing but light-hearted in disagreeing about a point in the post about one of the characters and agreed with everything else. 🤔 Especially not when I apparently pissed them off so much it made them post TWO (passive-aggressive) posts on the topic of disagreement afterwards instead of.... actual discussion? At least if I assume someone is being mean on purpose I ask them about it

i wasn't supposed to be on tumblr but i felt i had to say this. we all know that the person who stabbed odysseus in mutiny wasn't eurylochus, right?according to the livestream animatic, it seems to be perimedes. eurylochus didn't try to kill odysseus guys (and neither did perimedes for that matter, he stabbed him in a non-lethal place)

[thedeviljudges]

/sigh just a reminder that just bc you see a post that is extra shippy and or ~fun, doesn't negate the fact that people can be critical of that media, too. not every post has to be a meta analysis.

I need someone smarter and more academically up to date than me to write an essay on why certain characters in any given fandom are all written exactly the same way and given the exact same head canons.

Going to start talking about military history exhibits the same way people talk about textile history.

"We don't need to see that one."

"You won't like that one, it's for boys."

"Oh, it's just guns up there."

"I'm glad they collected that, I guess, but it's not very interesting."

Soooo what are y’all’s hcs on the Tweak family 🤔🤔🤔

I need all the adults to stop scaring kids and teenagers telling about how miserable their life will get as they get older

STOP

Bullied kid from elementary school doesn't need to hear that school will get harder

Middle schooler who's signed up to way too many activities doesn't need to hear that there'll be even less time left in the future

High-school student doesn't need to feel like their life will literally end if they don't succeed academically.

They don't need to hear your condescending tone about how life is about to get harder for them. You're scaring the living shit out of them and they literally loose their hope for better future. Do you think it's funny? Don't you remember the depth of the despair you were absolutely capable to feel as a teenager or even as a little kid?

No one who's struggling needs to hear the word of wisdom about them having it easy, and you're an absolute piece of shit if you keep doing it thinking it's funny.

Me: yeah I had to go no contact with my mum at 15 but I don't have stereotypical mummy issues or whatever

Also me: hello girl who is. At least five years older than me with a doting personality who acts like a nurturing mentor. You are so my type. Hey.
