#it's NOT ABOUT THAT

[essentialthyme]

people do The Crane Wives so dirty because they have songs about everything: toxic relationships, ancestry, love, loss, making mistakes, impostor syndrome, adoption, and so much more and not only do people make it all about romantic love (and choose the worst songs to do so lmao), but you have people PISSED at the obviously fucked up implications of these misplaced metaphors, but instead of taking it out on the people misinterpreting it, they take it out on THE LYRICS and I have to see a post with over a 100k notes saying "shut up" to one of the best lyrics from the band because it hurts their little ship, it's such a disservice

But you guys remember Ed wasn't abusing Izzy before e10, right? We talk about them being messed up, toxic and codependent, but they weren't abusive before and some posts sounds as if he was doing it all the time. Yes, the Kraken phase was fucked up and Izzy got it the worst, but it was their shared madness, they were spiraling together. It wouldn't go that far if they didn't care about each other that much (tragic irony my beloved)

The thing about calling someone an "egg" is that it's extremely condescending. If an egg is someone who is transgender but hasn't realised it yet, then calling someone and egg is not just saying "hey I bet this person is actually transgender" it's saying "hey I bet this person doesn't understand themself"

it's SO rude. Trans people can have their own reason for not being out, or for not transitioning, or for not being 100% public about their sexuality/gender and it is not just about not understanding themself.

The Iliad is not about Achilles' pride, nor is Achilles an antagonist or a villain in it, nor was he ever meant to be seen as such.

between itch.io bundles, humble bundles, and steam sales, i really feel like i own all the games. and yet my mutuals keep finding new $60-$70 games to talk about without me. not cool guys.

You know that feeling of complete desperation when you read a fic just in one sitting and that fic has been updated with a precise rhythm and you're like omg great just one day for the update but the day passes and there's no update and another one and then another one and still no update and you start wondering omg it was because of me? I somehow broke their clock worthy work. Did something happen to them? Why haven't they answered any question? Will this feeling of abandonment ever disappear?

Do I think Nandermo is going canon tonight?

I hope so, but not really.

I just don't trust this show anymore, don't get me wrong, wwdits is my favorite show, I love it with all my heart, but after experiencing last year's not exactly queerbating but invalidation (those articles and interviews saying that we were reading too much into the relationship, that why won't we just let men be friends...) It wasn't queerbating, it wasn't.

But what it was, was making fun of queer fans in a very reminicent way, and I've been through this before, so many times, I've been a gay person in fandom for over 15 years, I've been hurt before, made fun of, and I just don't trust, I can't trust them.

I guess that even after all the positivity and representation we've had lately I still have to protect my heart. After being burnt so many times putting on my clown makeup gets harder and harder.

But I really hope they'll prove me wrong

If your life is horrible and you need a new source of meaning and direction.... Do NOT find religion. Learn to identify plants.

hey gamers I’ve started watching star trek does anyone else see the romantic tension between captain kirk and mr. spock

Look I love unconditional devotion love stories as much as the next person, but there's really something so deliciously raw about conditional devotion.

I have served you and I have loved you for decades, but I will not give up my principles for you. You cut out part of my heart and took it with you down that path that you insist on walking, but you walk it alone. Even when the bleeding, gaping hole you left in my chest kills me, I will not follow you.
