#it's demoralising

[kenzan-kiwami]

everybody claims to be a kashiwagi enjoyer but the only time anyone ever talks about him is to say he's the hottest piece of meat in the series

i'll let phie-san say it:

I find that the recent rise of black and white thinking on the internet has led to an interesting phenomenon in F1 fandom spaces.

Nowadays a famous person needs to unsullied in all respects (morally, ethically, performatively) in order to be deemed unproblematic and worthy of support. It’s become impossible to be a fan of a driver and to recognise faults them in any way, because surely if you’re a fan of a driver and they mess up, then their mess up taints you in the same way it taints them (morally, ethically, performatively).

Putting drivers’ ethical “bad takes” aside, this has impacted even how fans respond to their driver simply having a bad weekend. It’s odd when a driver makes a human error or has a (even slightly) less successful weekend, and a significant proportion of their fans go into a panic and start finger pointing at anyone and everyone - the track, the team, the teammate, the stewards.

The false dichotomy here seems to be that either the driver has “lost his touch” or the driver was unfairly sabotaged or disadvantaged in some way.

It’s so strange. In the guise of supporting their favourite driver, these fans hold them up to an impossible standard where they are either bullied or washed.

In reality, their favourite driver is a human being and he’s going to pick himself up and go again next week.

"Cool ship art, unfortunately I'm interpreting it platonically" dude it's literally fine lol. Guys please. Art is meant to be interpreted. Don't call it unfortunate just because you think your interpretation differs from the artist's vision (and please refrain from using wording that implies strictly correct and wrong interpretations, it dismisses others!)

i am once again wishing killing yourself was easy

[queerfables]

I would kill for literally one SINGLE children's picture book about being raised by more than two parents. I have looked. For years. I can read to my kid about parents in every possible gender configuration imaginable but as far as I can tell there is not even one book where three people have a baby together on purpose and raise that child as a family. I am at the end of my rope.

Situ WeiLian & Shen Zhiheng [Snowfall episode 13] || 15 Minutes X

[stark-reading-mad]

Semester results are out. Some friends who don't put in half the effort scored higher.

[senblades]

I know Makoto is losing her mind recalling the principal of Shujin was killed by Akechi and neither Haru, Sumire or Ren seem to really care lmfaoooo.

Makoto: He killed our principal! Ren: What? Oh, yeah. That guy. Ann: ...The guy that let Kamoshida get away with everything. Haru: Wasn't he working for Shido, too? Sumire: And- Makoto: okay I get your point but we have to draw lines in the sand somewhere and murder seems like a good place to start

LMAO Makoto really is going through it. Her understanding of morality is not doing her any favours in getting through this situation HAHAHA someone save her she's about to snap

As this year comes to a close here's hoping for more (I.e. any) Morally grey aroace protagonists in (adult) fiction. Because as much I love Ymir by Rich Larson, I can't just keep reading one book over and over again. I'm starving for Dirtbag Aces in media.

Hi Hades II fans

[gripes-withthesun]

why have you carved me out of flesh?

[ID: It Writes Back - Hritvika Lakhera

Lord above you have carved me/ out of flesh;/ will you return/ to stem the bleeding?/ You have left me rotting,/ repulsive,/ hard to breathe around./ Blood left on the sheets/ is harder to scrub out;/ blood left on the floor/ wafts of rot instead of iron;/ you are my butcher/ casting me into offal.

I am immortality./ I am the shifting darkness,/ the echoing cliff –/ why/ have you made me/ out of bleeding,/ rotting/ flesh?

no one should have to work in January

“It’s definitely been a better weekend. From a pace point of view, there’s still things we’ll try to work on. There’s that positive, but with that comes a missed opportunity. It’s frustrating when it gets ruined by someone else.

[…] We never know what could have happened but I think we were looking at a good place.”

[carebearcody]

i’m sorry but vini saying “i don’t want to play anymore” has broken my heart. being hated and abused for doing ur job which is also the thing that ur the most passionate abt by supposed fans of that very same sport. all for the colour of your skin
