'but eddie said he was straight'
if you gathered up 100 queer people who came out after age 30, and then asked them to leave if they had ever self-described themselves as 'straight' prior to coming out
you'd probably have an empty room
#eddie diaz#911 abc#911 show#like i'm sorry but#even outside of the rest of the episode for context#- that means literally NOTHING

Ngl at this point I'm going to need people to support their doomposting with actual and real evidence from the show that indicates that Buddie will not happen, because I can't find it.
#like i'm sorry but#whenever i think about what s8 has done so far#i cannot come up with a SINGLE thing that indicates this is NOT where they are headed#not a SINGLE thing that proves to me buck and eddie will remain best friends and find love elsewhere#it's just#not there#911#911 meta#911 spoilers#(i mean not really just to be safe)#am i delusional?#sometimes i think so and then i rmr 8x06

The fact that Amberpricefield is relegated to being a non-canon ship is forever going to hurt me. I don't care that the canon literally makes it impossible! I want the lesbian throuple in my media NOW!
#life is strange#amberpricefield#bulletbilltime rambling#like I'm sorry but#the fact that we don't even see rachel and max interact outside of the comics is the worst#I would've loved if she showed up in the ep 5 nightmare sequence at least#I guess I'm glad the comics exist at least#and the fics!!#forever be blessed all you apf fic writers you literally give me life <3#and the artists too! and the artists too

i don't think that whether you use acrylic yarn or natural fibers says anything about Who You Are As A Person, and there are very valid considerations re: price and accessibility (as well as durability and ease of care) that can make acrylic a far superior option for people
HOWEVER i do think that if you treat "concerned about the sustainability of yarn that is, essentially, plastic being manufactured, shipped, and washed repeatedly" and "morally opposed to a sheep getting a haircut because you have decided that literally any use of animal products of any sort is evil, always" like they have equal weight and are equally valid points of view, then you're... being kind of silly
#like i'm sorry but#people who say using wool or honey is Evil are just. not operating in actual reality.#these are silly and frankly stupid ideas that do not deserve to be taken seriously

Ppl who can't just enjoy an evil character, and think it's a moral failing if anyone else likes that character are exhausting, and I'm pretty sure slept through any lesson about literary understanding.
Yeah. I mean, it's fine not to enjoy evil characters, or any kind of character, for any reason! But... Yeah, while I don't love that trend of groups accusing each other of lacking media literacy because I feel like it often obscures the core disagreement and any difference of perspective people may bring to the table while both having genuinely interesting points to bring up, it does become pretty exhausting to be morally scrutinized about extremely tame opinions about extremely tame characters.
To me, liking Ganondorf is like... barely above liking Bowser in terms of moral despicability? Not to equate the two at all, as they are very different beasts, but we are talking about a videogame villain made to vaguely scare off children/give them a thrill about feeling like a hero. At the end of the day, this is the purpose Ganondorf serves in the story: being the fairytale evil king that you can defeat and still feel good about yourself (then Wind Waker arrived etc etc but even then, he served that purpose and extremely well even in Wind Waker).
But I don't want to underplay the weight of what I'm generally saying on this blog either and I don't want to hide behind "lol it's just a game for children" when it's an argument I hate to see deployed to undermine other people's feelings about the series. I do come at this character with loaded language and pretty heavy terms, and I'm not sure I would have gotten this kind of hostility if I had just twirled my hair like the rest of the (much more reasonable and less invested) internet, and kept some terms I have used (justifyingly so imho) out of my virtual mouth. It can provoke. It's meant to. I understand these feelings can take some strange shapes when they lash out undigested.
THAT BEING SAID.
Okay, sure. You want me to acknowledge the evil bad guy is evil? Okay! Let's do it, right now. Ganondorf commits atrocities. He does weirdly specific and horrible things to the gorons. He kills people and he kills half-gods. He is tyrannical. He is a conqueror and a warlord. He is a thief. He is self-obsessed and entitled. He beats up kids. He practices necromancy. He terrorizes his followers. He lies and manipulates. If you look closely he is even associated with, like.... the devil....? like maybe there's even "demon" somewhere in his title card?
Okay. Very bad. Evil. Horrible nasty man. Weird eyebrows. Arguably weird name. One star. Blocked and reported.
Okay.
...now what?
Like, what do we do from this point on? What did we learn? What did we ponder upon? What touched us, or moved us, or made us see the world in a slightly new light? Are we reassured? Do we sleep any easier at night?
I know it doesn't always have to be the point of art, to question everything constantly. You can go to art for reassurance and simplicity and easy, comforting thrills --and Zelda is great at doing this as a series, it's a huge part of why I love it. It feels safe, and that's such a nice thing to rely upon! And you can stop there!!! It's allowed!!!!!!
But if you go out of your way to shame people investing and questioning this piece of fiction they love in their own way because it threatens your moral safety and the simplicity of your relationship to that media (and/or the world at large)? That becomes a you problem my (gender neutral) guy, and by that I mean: you becoming a problem for others to deal with, regardless of Circumstances.
#asks#thoughts#ganondorf#tloz#zelda fandom critical#the week washed off most of it but#still pretty bewildered of having been accused of doing the moral equivalent of supporting who I assume to be n€tanyahou#because of my ganondorf posting#like I'm sorry but#beyond how violent and unfounded and out of proportions that was (even if the hurt was genuine and I'm sorry about it)#I'm really concerned about the lack of political literacy going on here (more so than the media literacy even if they are connected)#again maybe that anon was very young but#this is A Lot to unpack#and I wish it hadn't been unpacked at me honestly

The same I do for literally any book or article or blog post. I start reading it and if I decide it's good enough to read I keep reading it.
Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?
#like I'm sorry but#the only person whose opinion matters is yours#and nobody knows your own taste better than you#and like#sometimes you'll wind up reading or watching things#that ultimately you find you're not fond of#and that's normal and part of life#and not actually a waste of your time#because you're still learning about yourself and your preferences in the process#obsessing over only spending your time on things that pass an arbitrary bar of 'worthy' before you even give them a shot#is the most miserable and worthless way to live

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though
#creative writing#shitpost#sorry just wrote a third piece with the same underlying idea/premise#which i didn't do on purpose#and now i'm like. well fuck. what's this mean about me?#now i gotta do some self reflection about that

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"
Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.
#thinking about the person i saw saying that if you're at a protest#and other protesters try to stop you from becoming violent you should just kill them bc 'peace police are still police'#even taken as hyperbole that's simply dumb as shit on every conceivable level#it's also pretty blatantly hypocritical coming from people who are usually self-avowed prison/death penalty abolitionists#like i'm sorry but you don't get to be a death penalty abolitionist and also call for the death of your political enemies online#this isn't a major issue or anything i'm just bored and annoyed

if i have to experience men only being nice to me or being my friend because they have a crush on me one more time i fear i will become an actual villain.
#ESPECIALLY IF THEY JUST STOP TALKING TO ME AFTER I REJECT THEM#like man i'm aromantic i literally cant like you in the way you want me to#like i'm sorry but#it drives me absolutely insane#and then i feel guilty because i know it probably hurts their feelings#but like id still love to be friends with all of them#but no they just have to ignore me and never talk to me again#maybe i just have a wildly different view on this because i'm aromantic#but i don't know#yap yap yap

doing shit alone will have people acting like you're the bravest human being who has ever existed. "omg I could never 😖" I'm eating. I'm going to the cinema. it's not a fucking papal conclave.

Dunno how to put it properly into words but lately I find myself thinking more about that particular innocence of fairy tales, for lack of better word. Where a traveller in the middle of a field comes across an old woman with a scythe who is very clearly Death, but he treats her as any other auntie from the village. Or meeting a strange green-skinned man by the lake and sharing your loaf of bread with him when he asks because even though he's clearly not human, your mother's last words before you left home were to be kind to everyone. Where the old man in the forest rewards you for your help with nothing but a dove feather, and when you accept even such a seemingly useless reward with gratitude, on your way home you learn that it's turned to solid gold. Where supernatural beings never harm a person directly and every action against humans is a test of character, and every supernatural punishment is the result of a person bringing on their own demise through their own actions they could have avoided had they changed their ways. Where the hero wins for no other reason than that they were a good person. I don't have the braincells to describe this better right now but I wish modern fairy tales did this more instead of trying to be fantasy action movies.
#v tomhle se mi líbí krakonošovo tajemství#in general just#less hard realism in media and more fairy tales maybe? i feel like the world would really use that these days#''but it doesn't make sense that the hero wouldn't notice that the stranger is very clearly not human'' it doesn't matter!!#he's being polite!!#fairy tales#media#sorry i'm still riding the high of the yearly czech christmas fairy tale tv marathon

bring back zooterkins, the best 17th-century swear word
I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.
(I'm sorry)
#art#twisted wonderland#(sort of atemporally somewhere between episodes 6 and 7?)#(i - i wanted that lilia joke okay)#long post#tumblr went 'you can post up to 30 images now :)' and i was like well okay then#anyway once again i'm sorry#i'd say i don't know why i did this but actually it is because i wanted kalim to scandalize everyone#i tried to keep it...you know...tasteful. a tasteful amount of fucks.#hey remember how the framing premise for the original birthday interviews was that yuu worked for the school paper#because i have never forgotten. in my head they are still getting up to all kinds of wacky reporting hijinks.
