never trust a doctor who fan to tell you which episodes of doctor who to watch because I just saw someone on my dash say that absolutely nothing consequential happened during the eleventh doctor’s run. ive seen people say that twelve’s last season was low quality. they’ve said that nine’s season is good, but you don’t really need to see it to understand what’s going on. someone suggested that ten is overrated and totally out of character for the doctor and his first two seasons are worth skipping so you don’t have to see any romance nonsense. tons of people think thirteen’s has no redeeming qualities whatsoever and should be written off entirely. trust no one. you gotta take matters into your own hands. godspeed
#they are lying to your face. not intentionally but they Are.#doctor who#the doctor#dw#doctor who 60th anniversary#eleventh doctor#11th doctor#13th doctor#thirteenth doctor#12th doctor#9th doctor#twelfth doctor#ninth doctor#tenth doctor#10th doctor#this goes for classic who too tbh. I just skip around. for the vibes#whovians are quite biased and opinionated. our bad teehee!

transfem fags and transmasc dykes aren't hurting you, you're just clinging to respectability politics when it's a convenient tool to push away people that make you uncomfortable. and yes, not even the binary trans folks who don't "make sense" to you are hurting you. instead of telling them to fix their identities, fix your reactionary disgust.
#trans#transgender#nonbinary#the people i've met in these categories are just human beings living their lives authentically#i know i'm swinging at a hornet's nest but i also don't care about the opinions of people who want to act like hornets in our community#your discomfort is not their problem

really disappointing that bunjywunjy had to be pestered twice just to quietly remove their reblog after using their huge platform to encourage garbage like raving about the lesbian estonian soviet flag and how 'new pride flag just dropped' so people could go 'ooh pretty' about a flag that was forced onto us by ppl who wanted our culture gone and oppressed us for about a century in total if not more.
to say nothing or not show anything of the truth about that flag and quietly remove the reblog felt more like it was done out of obligation (and you didn't agree) rather than care for the subject matter that is still a fresh wound in our country's memory. it's only been 33 years since it ended.
I'd rather you make the mistake about something you didn't know (eastern european history is easy for westeners to overlook, because we're not a big country like them, we're not england or france or spain or germany) and admit/apologize for said mistake or even just outright state that you don't actually care rather than say nothing and quietly remove something so that people would stop talking about it
#regardless of your opinions on communism the ussr was a tragedy for much of eastern europe#and we still suffer under its effects today#did you know that when the ussr occupied us that estonians couldn't even be the majority of the population in our own country?#they flooded in and tried to make our country like them#they arrested anyone who wore the colors of our flag#and all while they settled into our countries (it wasnt just estonia but amywhere they occupied) they forcefully deported us out of it#into moving steel boxes of the trains in the harsh winter#people packed in like anchovies with barely any room to die from the starvation#but nobody talks about that#nobody cares about eastern europe#nobody bothers#so i get american tankies telling me garbage like how im just reciting 'CIA propaganda'#as if i give a fuck about what some yankoid organization in some unrelated country says#our families lived that shit#at the time i was born the only people who couldve gotten an estonian birth certificate were still children#what do you think our mothers and fathers and grandmothers and grandfathers lived in?#people only care that a flag looks pretty#and not what the flag actually meant

please don't mistake silence for hatred. please don't mistake unanswered plotting messages as indifference, or a lack of enthusiasm towards you. considering the ages of most roleplayers, many of us have bills to pay, families to take care of, medical conditions to treat, appointments to make, classes to take, homes to clean, and lives to live away from the computer that are far, far more important than writing on tumblr — life has a tendency to get in the way of hobbies and fun things like this. be patient with your fellow writers. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. of course you can set your boundaries, keep your space comfortable, and softblock whoever you wish, but do so while recognizing it's probably not hatred or apathy that keeps them from leaping into your dms with message after message. they probably love this hobby just as much as you... but sometimes life gets in the way.
#rp psa#roleplay psa#rp help#roleplay help#roleplay advice#'the rpc has changed for the worse' that's your opinion#but have that opinion while also acknowledging the ages of those you write with#and recognize they have responsibilities and worlds to take care of#people who depend on them#financial strain. hardships. unemployment. housing problems#medical bills. local weather disasters#trauma in their life deaths in their family#you cannot expect instant messages or EXTREME enthusiasm from everyone in this community#when so many of us are also dealing with irl situations#that are MORE important than talking about our fictional characters meeting for the first time#would it be nice if we could all find a comfy balance#and put passion into this hobby like we did when we were younger?#oh sure!!!! but that's just not viable anymore

i dont think non-transmasc allies realize that- it's actually their job to uplift our voices and make us more visible. it's actually their job to bring others awareness to us and to advocate for us. it's their job to use the platform they have to talk about us, accurately portray our struggles and/or bring trans guys into the discussion to talk about our problems. we can only do so much alone and if no one else is advocating for us, then people are less likely to listen and take us seriously.
y'know how white men hafta talk to other white men for them to actually listen about and understand the struggles of people of color? it's like that. people of your own demographic are more willing to listen to you than listen to the people you're advocating for, unfortunately, but that is the reality. you need to bring us on when you're having discussions about us or at least get your info from transmascs if you're going to talk about us w/o us there. I can shout at the top of my lungs about trans men everyday but at the end of the day it doesnt reach as much people. it's the responsibility of people with more visibility and a platform to boost our voices and message.
#transandrophobia#i dont feel like thats too much to ask.#and no- boosting the opinions of only trans guys you agree with isnt enough. diversity of perspectives is important.#also- if you keep antagonizing us- it's gonna make it harder for us to survive and sub sequentially all trans ppl to survive.#the longer trans men remain invisible- the more people will just target trans women.#antagonizing us and choosing to smother our voices aids you in 0 capacity and makes life worse for all trans people.#i shouldn't have to ask you to care enough about us to actually advocate for ALL of us.

“Chloe fell first, Red fell harder” “No Red fell first and Chloe fell harder” “No! Chloe fell first and fell harder” “Nope! Red fell first and harder!”
No! Hear me out please.
They BOTH fell at the same time! BOTH were horribly fallen for one another but BOTH were absolutely clueless in different ways, and BOTH are horribly obsessed with each other and can’t bear to spend a second without the other. Chloe was clueless in comphet denial and Red was clueless in “I don’t get love, why is my heart palpitating immensely every time I look at Chloe? Am I dying? [Gasp] Did someone put a curse on me for every time I look at Chloe I almost get a heart attack and my body temperature increases in my face?”
This leads to a lot of horrible situations where one desperately tries to tell the other but the other just doesn’t get it and they’re stuck in this horrible loop until one of them has enough and they pull the other in the kiss.
#glassheart#y’all I got some opinions#they are the children of fairytales so basically they’re bound to fall on love at the same time#they fell in the book scene you can’t change my mind#but they were developing feelings immediately after fight of our lives#y’all are completely entitled to your own opinions this is merely mine#in my opinion they’re both just helpless idoits for eachother#also someone should explain blushing to red#charminghearts#redcharming#glassrose#chloe x red#red x chloe#chloe charming x red of hearts#chloe charming x red#chloe charming#red of hearts#red of wonderland#princess red#rise of red#descendants rise of red

I love how people are only ever interested in defending Arya's right to be weird-looking. It's never defending her intelligence from people who claim she's incapable of thinking for herself, highlighting her importance to the plot and refusing to see her as just a prop, acknowledging how much of her story gets stolen and given to other characters, talking about her trauma or how often it gets erased and overlooked, seeing her as more than just an attack dog/bodyguard, etc. Nope. It's just a "why can't people let Arya be ugly/unconventional looking? :(" post every other week because people are, for whatever reason, obsessed with how Arya is visually perceived. One of the most misinterpreted characters yet the issue is only ever with her being portrayed as "too pretty" or the wrong "type" of pretty. This fandom will entirely rewrite a character's motivations, values, and role in the story to the point that they consider references to canon "hate" but! The true injustice to canon is we acknowledge that she is described as pretty several times. Arya simply existing as her pretty, important, and non-conforming self is too complex and confusing for people to comprehend 😔.
#arya stark#asoiaf#fandom nonsense#how can Arya be considered pretty?! she's literally non-conforming?? being pretty belongs to /feminine/ female characters...right? 😱#I feel like these people tell on themselves with how much they value beauty because they make it /such/ a big deal#when her self-esteem issues regarding being a lady are infinitely more relevant to her story (and more interesting to discuss)#her being mocked for having the Stark look is a supporting story element that also reinforces her being an outcast considering#her mother + all of her trueborn siblings have a southern look and she was raised with southern standards#not to mention her non-conformity and often messy appearance heavily impacted how her looks were perceived#George writes Arya's non-conformity as parallel to traditional femininity so it makes sense that beauty is one of those aspects he subverts#(also why it makes sense that her future includes accepting her identity as a Lady while redefining the role but that's off topic)#this is why you need to look at the writing instead of judging based on the /type/ of character you think Arya is#and! it's truly not that serious 😭 I'm sure it will be a plot point eventually but it's not 98% of her story like these people pretend#Arya is such an interesting + well-written character but we constantly get people rewriting her and nonsense discourse around her looks#such rich material and all you can say is that she's an /odd-looking feral gremlin/ and I'm supposed to take your opinion seriously#at this point the obsession with Arya being /weird/ looking has to be some projection of personal self-esteem issues#there's no way /this/ is the hill you're willing to die on with all the terrible takes about Arya from this fandom#wish people who didn't care about her would just stop bringing her up so we could have our discussions about her in peace

Fuck every percy jackson "fan" who is still complaining about percy & annabeths HAIR COLOURS being different then in the books. I hope Nico is blonde so that all of you cry and scream like fucking toddlers
#like actually#please STFU on pjo fanart#nobody cares that you are upset about annabeth not being blonde YOU DO NOT NEED TO COMMENT IT#like we get that you do not have the skill to make banger pjo fanart yourself (oh noo :((( poor baby)#but maybe your time would be better spent making your own fanart if you wanna complain about how the artist draws a certain character#contrary to unpopular beleif the world does not revolve around you#just because you don't like that leah jeffries is playing annabeth does not mean that the casting is gonna change#go sit in a corner and cry about it and stop having a meltdown in artist comment sections! Literally nobody gives a shit about your opinion#if you are actively bringing down the pjo fandom/tearing apart anything the new adaptation has to offer#then I will gladly inform you that you are NOT a pjo fan#you are an annoying piece of shit that cares more about accuracy then the actual story#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson series#percy jackson disney+#annabeth chase#leah sava jeffries#walker scobell#leah is our annabeth

Maybe it's just me but I'm getting increasingly tired of the "nobody owes you anything" attitude online and in person. Like yeah, nobody owes you time or attention if you're being a dick. Nobody owes your forgiveness if you fuck up and that's a fact of life. But it feels more and more like people use it as an excuse to be rude cunts because "i don't owe anyone politeness" and i feel like it's become a major contributing factor into why communication has gotten worse across the board. If someone is coming out the gate being an asshole, people are going to respond in kind.
#not fallout#kal talks#humans are social creatures and thus invented rules around social interaction#and regardless of whether or not you like those rules or want to play by those rules#they dominate most of our quick opinions and feelings#we invented those rules to smooth out social interactions and prevent chafe#and abandoning them just leads to irritation in all directions

It feels like you're being kind of self infantilizing when you draw yourself all small and cute and then talk about how you don't kiss your partner with tongue. I don't know. It just feels weird and almosy creepy. We're not children. Why do we have to act like such children when it comes to intimacy and how we represent ourselves?
Well, that definitely isn't the goal. I always draw all of my characters on the small side, and it's kinda accidental but I ended up drawing myself short because my partner is on the short side, and it just turned out to be a body type that I associate with nice things, so it just... Happened when I was looking for a character to draw myself as. Didn't even hit me it was out of me liking how my partner looks and that I basically "stole" their looks til like... Months later somehow. I'm lucky it doesn't upset them 🙈
Also uh... Sorry I don't wanna stick my tongue in someone's mouth and that it took me a while to be comfortable with kissing on the mouth at all? ...Nah, wait, actually I'm not sorry, that's just who I am and that's my experience, just like other aces are down to tongue-kiss. Everyone has different experiences and everyone's deserves to be seen and heard for what it is, not what it should represent. And each of them are valid, needless to say.
Lastly, I'm pretty freaking open when it comes to me being over 30. I have "very old" in my bio because it feels like that's how that age range is perceived online, and I've drawn several comics about how I don't like to be infantilized, and how it's important that I'm open about my age because it shows orientation isn't a "phase". So... Yeah. Obviously. We're not children. But I of all people don't need to be told that, thanks.
#anon#infantilization#asexual#...i actually don't even know how to tag this#anyway yeah aside from not drawing me and my partner as our real appearances to preserve our intimacy everything i say i just how i am#sorry for being sincere about my own experience sheesh#ps: another possible psychological reason for me drawing myself small is i have a very low opinion of myself and feel small as a person#thought that might be fun to mention too

y'know, most of us are saying this or that about "Bells Hells choosing to release Predathos to remove the gods from Exandria," but — and admittedly my memory might be shaky on this one due to East Coast time — Bells Hells hasn't even gotten that far yet, as far as I remember
like, at minimum it seems that people are FEELING that the Hells haven't even made a decision about whether they even want to let Predathos out or not, or what they want to do about the gods. they were in the process of trying to ask Predathos what it wanted to do and whether it was possible to convince it to go back where it came from without bothering anyone at all. the current situation is more at "Predathos is trying to grab you and use you as a host, what are you doing" without making a clear choice about the implications of the results of resisting or not resisting
we're still in a bit of a not having made a choice yet either way about Predathos's intent to escape or what that would mean for the gods or the state of Exandria, we're not even at the moment of unfolding in text whether Imogen intends for this to be a way to control Predathos to guide it toward another end, whether she is making this as an active choice to try to contain it and prevent it from escaping, whether she is making this as an active choice to aid it, whether she is simply giving in as a resignation to what she feels is inevitable fate
a choice has been made to not resist being taken up by Predathos, but there... hasn't been a clear choice at all so far about the actual narrative question of what to do with Predathos and the gods, like, that's still something that remains undecided on by the party, they hadn't even made a decision yet when the reaching and grabbing happened, so like, yeah
#I think a lot of people who are tired are responding to that fact: that it somehow is still undecided#that after all this a decision hasn't really been made and Bells Hells is still kinda fishing around for someone to tell them what to do#they don't even feel like they've made an active choice of “we explore Predathos's opinion to weigh that in our decision”#bc they kinda fell into THAT conversation bc they walked in motivated by something else entirely#I think that's the sort of meandering and constantly shifting motivation and indecisiveness and lack of confidence people are frustrated by#while Imogen has chosen not to resist we still don't have a decision on what step two is or what the Hells are intending to move toward#the polling Predathos wasn't even like an active decision it was just a result they kinda wandered into trying to do something else entirel#CR spoilers#Critical Role things
