#just be respectful to each other please

[fairydrowning]

I love when girls are kind to each other and help other girls. For me it's like they are fixing each other crowns and that's so amazing.

Am I the only one worried that House of the Dragon's "all must choose" marketing is dividing the fans too much and enabling toxic fandom behaviour?

I love thinking about how this would go down with them

[littleskrimp]

I know people are a bit underwhelmed by the Avatrice Bed Scene script but Simon did say it wasn’t anything major. Just a scene of them waking up in the morning. 😊

Here are some points I found nice:

- AVATRICE SHARING A BED (Even though we all knew this, but it’s nice to have confirmation)

- Bea being an early bird, staring at the ceiling as she lays there next to Ava

- Bea taking a moment to look at a sleeping Ava 🥰

- Bea could’ve gotten up but she stayed laying in bed just to wait for Ava to wake up 🥹

- Ava dragging herself out of bed (obviously not an early bird)

- Ava commenting about how the church could’ve given them a better apartment to live in (even though we know she secretly loves that lil’ apartment)

- Ava cursing and Bea being too tired to scold her for it but does it anyway and saying the word “ass” in the process

- Bea teasing Ava about the upcoming training

All in all, I still loved it. It had me looking forward to something Warrior Nun related and I’ve missed that feeling. Having to try and save a show can take a bit of a toll. So, thank you Simon! I’m looking forward to more WN goodies. ❤️

part 1

"Imma be real for a second," Duke said. "I'm fuckin starving."

"That's understandable," Spoiler responds. "Crime fighting is hungry work."

"True that," Duke sighs. "Batman makes us carry cash you want noodles?"

"If you're paying then of course I do," Spoiler responds easily. "You know any good places?

The thing about Steph, is that a lot of people underestimate her. Even other bats, who should really know better, seem to do it all the time. Duke privately thinks that its because she's funny and upbeat that people will just let her fade into the background as a dumb blonde.

People do this to Duke sometimes, other heroes, other bats, they'll just let him become white noise.

He wears bright yellow for fuck's sake.

Unfortunately for this Steph, future Steph and Duke spend a lot of hours together, and he knows what she's like when she is on the hunt.

Duke knows the protocols for time travel, he knows the protocols for dimension travel. Duke also knows that he's tired and starving and going to have to track down whatever Turbo Emo version of Batman is out there.

"The future."

"Weird name for a noodle place," Spoiler mutters, the lenses in her mask drawing in together.

"Not a noodle place," Duke belatedly realizing that he just completely blurted that out. "The answer to your question."

Spoiler crosses her arms.

"The question was about noodle places."

"The other question," Duke gestures vaguely at Spoilers brain, because that was so helpful wasn't it. "The one you didn't ask."

"Oh," Spoiler says about as lamely as Duke feels right about now. "OH! Damnit I was betting on dimension travel."

Duke raises an eyebrow under his helmet.

"Dimension travel?"

"Yeah like maybe you're a happy universe' Batman," Spoiler says, her body language loosening into typical Steph. "Or wait..."

Spoiler gasps, leaning into whisper: "Are you Evil Batman?"

Duke barely doesn't burst out laughing.

Barely.

"Like do you bring presents and joy?" Spoiler continues, conspiratorially.

Duke breaks into helpless giggles.

"Santa?" Duke practically shouts through his laughter. "Evil Batman to you is Santa??"

"Am I Wrong????"

Duke laughs even harder. Spoiler politely gives him time to collect himself.

"I've met both and so I can tell you, yes."

"Wait, wait hold on," Spoiler waves her hands as if to dispel the previous conversation. "Santa is real?"

"Yes," Duke says gravely.

"Wow," Spoiler blinks blankly at the sky for a couple seconds. "That is going to need a lot of processing."

"I think crises are best had over noodles don't you think?"

Steph's head whips back around.

"Fuck yeah lets go!"

this fandom is not big enough for me to go on about how aaron's relationship with justine was so much more complex than what we gather from the book but i kind of feel crazy about it and this line makes me feel insane and i hate it

[bellaxgiornata]

I'm just making a general statement that isn't meant to come across as rude, aggressive, or to make anyone feel singled out/attacked, but please heed the pronouns someone may have listed on their blog. They're there for a reason.

I know earlier today @souliebird made a brief post announcing their pronouns which have always been listed on their blog. It was never a secret. They were not trying to call anyone out, hurt anyone's feelings, or asking for apologies. It was just a polite request to be referred to properly and a clarification for those who may not have looked at their blog and saw that. It was getting upsetting for them to be misgendered and instead of needing to correct multiple people, they figured they'd make a single post to make it more widely known. It wasn't meant for anything other than that, so please do not feel the need to make apologies or make it anything other than what it was. Some of the attention from a simple ask to have pronouns respected has been overwhelming and not necessarily friendly.

I know this community is full of wonderful people so I'm hoping y'all will be respectful and not rude. We're all here to connect over the same fandom and to have an escape from reality, so please be kind and think before you speak. If you've misgendered someone, just please correct yourself in the future, that's all that is being asked.

Just spread the love instead of the hate, y'all ❤️ And please don't create drama where there isn't any. That's it.

like i see people say stuff like “rei is a deconstruction of the idea of like the perfect girl in a male gaze-y way” and and i'm ready to agree until they go “it’s because she’s creepy and weird and bad!” like no. rei's a deconstruction of misogynistic ideas of womanhood because they’re ideals forced upon her that damage her, not because she’s in any way “creepy”. like, the fact she’s a fourteen year old girl who was basically used as a substitute wife by her father bc she looked like his own dead wife is not something that is meant to make rei look bad like holy shit.

like both rei and asuka are very obviously like. showing fantasised and misogynistic ideas of an idealised woman don’t work irl yeah. shinji's misogynistic view of them is wrong. but that’s not because rei and asuka are bad people it’s because like. “fourteen year old who's flirty and seductive” and “fourteen year old who's a quiet obedient object” are major signs of abuse and trauma and anyone actually acting in those ways at that age clearly isn’t normal. asuka is desperate for attention in any way she can get it, even unhealthy and dangerous ways. rei is at the very least I has a weird pseudo-incestous enmeshment filled abusive relationship with her father, even if she's not actively being sexually abused. asuka is seeking support, rei is a grooming victim. these are not things that are flaws in their character the entire point of subverting the expectations is to show how those expectations are unhealthy to rei and asuka like. god.

[finisnihil]

It always amuses me when people will approach me with recs like “This book is sooooo good but it’s mostly plot and politics not a lot of spicy stuff” and I’m like my brother in Christ that is exactly the shit I’m into give me that book. I cannot stand chronically horny protagonists like drink some fucking water bestie the stakes will not wait for you to finish banging and if they do they aren’t actually stakes and this is erotica in a fancy dress.

Gregor: I am so lost on what to do, my class voted me class president and I don’t even know how to start

Lizzie: just think like a leader. Ask yourself what Ripred would do and then do that. It’s probably the smartest and most diplomatic course of action.

Gregor:…

Lizzie:… what?

Gregor: you and I have a very different image of ripred.

Teruhashi is obsessed with Aiura’s tits. In a purely heterosexual, rivalry driven way of course.

[monstersinthecosmos]

not for anything but friendly reminder that ~fandom discourse~ about where women belong (or people you perceive as women) is misogynistic as fuck. or what they're allowed to say, or what they're allowed to write about, or what they're allowed to enjoy.

next time you see someone having a tantrum and vaguing, especially if their posts from week to week completely contradict each other, perhaps analyze if the common denominator is "a gross woman said something and now i'm mad" without otherwise adhering to any actual principles.

[soapywankenopy]

Something has been weighing on my mind since I've been reading PJO and now HOO.

The girls are not girl's girls.

Even Annabeth, I would argue, is not a girl's girl, like, as much as I want her to be, she isn't. She's jealous, and she has said rude and snippy things about other girls.

The only girl's girls that I can think of are Silena and believe it or not, Clarisse.

I'm not saying that every female character needs to be a girl's girl. I'm saying that I prefer to see women in the media I consume to be upbuilding and kind to other women.

It just rubs me the wrong way, like girls can only be out for themselves and have to be at war with every other female person.

Also, and I know for sure my view is skewed on this, but these girls seem WAYYY to focused on boys. Like maybe I just hate men but I'm always looking for opportunities to be friends with or be around girls. Boys suck (usually) and I have literally no desire to spend time with them. Why are these girls constantly thinking about boys? I definitely didn't word this in the best way but I'm tired and angry. Maybe this is a me problem but I don't like my cool young adult fantasy being adulterated so often with this nasty "romance" crap. Can we please stop talking about Jason's eyes? I need you to focus Piper. I also need you to not be so quick to judge women.

Without giving spoilers, can someone please tell me it gets better? Does Piper stop being written like this? Every chapter I have to read from her point of view is excruciating.

Also, I don't mean to be putting out any hate for Annabeth. She may not be my favorite character, but I do actually like her. Some of her traits are a little annoying, and I do feel like I don't know a lot about her, but I don't mean any hate. I think Rick just tends to be better at writing his male characters better than his female ones.

I'M NOT TRYING TO START FIGHTS, PLEASE DON'T BE ANGRY AT ME

peace and love bye

Community Question:

Is playing Splatoon 3 still fun for you?

I'm seeing a lot of folks in the community talk about how they're less inclined to play, or getting frustrated more easily, or just not finding the fun in this game any longer

Beginners/New Players are being discouraged due to the sheer aggressive nature of the game now more than before

Connection issues, especially at inopportune times such as winning games or Splatfest 100xs, etc

Not to say no one is having a positive experience, but I am definitely feeling different vibes in the community since 2, so I'm just curious what you all have to say here!

Reblog, comments, however you wanna do it, feel free to let me know how you feel!

(If you drop into my ask box and would like your name hidden, just put (Anon) in your ask and I'll crop it out in the post!)
