what are your thoughts on your religion stealing every single one of its holidays from pagans? xo
That in order to relieve themselves of guilt and discomfort, white people create and believe narratives that deprive their European ancestors of any autonomy whatsoever. Casting their ancestors as victims of the church rather than active participants.
#three things to keep in mind:#1 a lot of christianization was peaceful in europe. my german and irish ancestors willingly converted.#european christianization was nothing like the colonization of the americas (as supported by the church)#2 most supposedly ''pagan'' traditions reach back maybe reach back to the middle ages. long after christianization happened#so most ''pagan'' traditions are really just folk beliefs created and maintained by christians#(there really wasn't a huge distinguishment between ''pagan'' and ''christian'' most of the time)#3 most of these narratives about the church stealing from paganism comes from puritans and victorians#who both uhhh literally loved to make up history

the way caitlyn did more deplorable things than mel ever did yet the fandom still considers mel as cold and conniving
#arcane#arcane critical#sorry im still kinda fixated on this series and this aspect of fandom never fails to piss me off#mel as a child witnesses systematic cruelty and gets sent off because she remains kind despite it. and she only gets “manipulative” after#years as a councilor. but seeing her mother again reminds her of who she wants to be and does everything in her power in maintain peace#how can you see that and not find it interesting? why are there dozens of meta on caitlyns “redemption” but rarely any on mel?#mel is a more interesting character than cait ever was but the fandom still favors caits narrative. gee i wonder why /s

i need more fics where Lan Qiren begrudgingly accepts wei wuxian simply on the matter of "if i give him a project then maybe he'll shut up and leave me alone to my peace" and then being surprised when wwx supersedes and is like "ig he's not a heretic when he's given something to do" to subtly showing him off to the other sects when wwx and lwj marry like, "Ofc I couldn't let THE hanguang-jun marry someone who couldn't keep up with him, after all I taught wwx myself."
#mdzs#mxtx mdzs#lan qiren#wei wuxian#lan wangji#good uncle lan qiren#lan qiren figures out wwx has adhd and does something about it#he keeps telling himself its for the good of the sect and maintaining the peace#shocked pikachu face when wwx thrives instead

"are you asking me or making me?" is soooooo interesting to me because i think armand only asks it when he can't gauge whether he's letting louis down. it's barely even sexual - it's a hail mary. it's a show of trust, indirectly admitting that he wants to do something other than what louis expects of him, but that he's willing to obey louis anyway, for the sake of their relationship. it's sort of heartbreaking watching them at the sacré-cœur, because if louis had said "i'm making you" armand would've done it in a heartbeat. he would've taken it as a show of committment on louis' part, and he wouldn't have betrayed him. but louis takes the question just as an expression of disagreement, and so he doesn't play the game. ironically, he respects armand's independence too much to make him turn madeleine if he doesn't want to. and so armand isn't convinced of louis' commitment to him, and he betrays him.
and by the time we see them in san fransisco, louis knows what the question means now, and answers "no, arun, i'm not asking" without question. and armand accepts it without complaint, even as it pains him. companionship really is the most important thing in the world to armand, just like it is for lestat, and he's willing to do any number of horrible things to louis and himself just to keep him as a companion, just like lestat. louis' biggest mistake is not realising how to use that to his advantage sooner.
edit: HELP people are reblogging this again. i misremembered the context of the scene - louis is asking armand to witness the turning, not do it himself. still, if armand had gone along to witness, that would have 100% been taken as implicit permission for louis to turn madeleine (thereby adhering to the first of the great laws) and, in essence, "agreeing" with her turning where before he ordered claudia to drive madeleine out of town. this hypocrisy, and the further bending of the rules for louis' sake (he's given permission to turn a mortal despite neither of them being in the coven), would have been seen by the coven as betrayal. armand knows this; he doesn't think madeleiene should be turned for these reasons; that's why he asks, "are you asking me or making me?"
still. if louis had said "i'm making you" i think armand would've gone along to witness, implicitly giving his permission for madeleine to be turned and functionally changing his allegiance from the coven to louis once and for all. so the core point of the post still stands.
#iwtv#loumand#thunder rambles#it really makes me hysterical because louis just wants to fuck around and find himself now here come exclusivity and#amatanormativity to ruin it all. move‼‼#i havent known peace since i saw that reddit post calling lestat's behaviour in s1 'jobless behaviour'. all the vampires really hate louis#for having friends and hobbies and theyre gonna make it his problem if it kills them#anyway yeah. i really really believe this. armand knew he had a loose grip on louis at best#and i think he never wouldve sold louis out if louis had made him turn madeleine. ironically#louis' biggest crime is uhhh respecting armand's disagreement with him. and having a life outside of him (claudia and madeleine)#that he wants to flourish#its so sad though because its all in service of ruining the family dynamic anyway#louis is feeling the walls closing in on him and claudia and so he elects to let her go n for claudia to have her trad 1-on-1 companionship#with madeleine#and after this he intends to commit to armand in much the same way.#its sad because how are the only two options 'monogamous partnership' and 'coven cult'.#louis should be able to have his sister-daughter-throw pillow AND his daughter-creation-in-law#AND fuck anyone and everyone he wants AND maintain very sincere connections to other vampires without it necessiatating#a companionship#the true villain of iwtv is the lack of relationship anarchy you heard it here first folks#interview with the vampire

hello! i haven't seen anyone on my dash talk about Lebanon yet so i thought i'd bring it up in case there are those who don't know:
as of Sept 24th, more than 500 are killed and hundreds more are injured from airstrikes and bombings (CTV article linked here for further reading).
no doubt more info on how to help will come out (or probably already have) but for starters i've donated to Doctors Without Borders / Medicins Sans Frontieres (Canadian website linked but they're available in other countries as well) and hopefully anyone who is able can donate too.
#uhhhh me#saw someone who is doing a lot of UN work rn talk about how they have heard nary an inkling of lebanon being discussed there#at the freaking UN. like what are we doing here#'maintain global peace and security' where. for whom.#this isn't the most put together post i just feel like i had to do Something#hearing this news constantly on tv while i'm here busying myself with cartoons makes me feel so frustrated#least i can do is get the word out there for anyone who doesn't know#i'm gonna try seeing if my company will do match donation or something of the sort but they kinda sorta ghosted me last time#and also haven't done much charity work recently as far as i can tell#IDK idk i'm gonna try

I would rather believe a liar, than support an evil person in disguise. (When it comes to abuse/sa)
Benefit of the doubt is for people you know and if u see toxic behaviours in someone else. Take note of it.
People can grow and change but not at ur expense!
However harassment even if it’s towards someone u think is bad is disgusting. Especially when it comes to petty cases like ‘using ai’ - like why come for a small creator (who’s innocent) full storm when the gov is actually changing the laws to allow people’s art to be fed to machines without consent.

I will not have Lan Xichen slander.
He is actually very smart and a great sect leader.
The only mistake he did was not being able to see past Jin Guangyao's kindness towards him and even that isn't his fault because JGY really was that bitch who rose from nothing and had the whole cultivation world in his hand.
Heck he would have continued to have it in his hand if it wasn't for NHS who succeeded in bringing wwx back.
Like thinking Lan Xichen of all people was stupid to not see his real face is both an insult to him and JGY.
Also you people forget that JGY has done a lot of good things as well. He isn't just a bad person, he's a person who is willing to do bad things to keep his power because he will not allow himself to be powerless again.
And when you look at the big picture it makes complete sense Lan Xichen would trust JGY over NMJ.
Lan Xichen has his own strict morals but he also sees the world in all of it's colours and that just shows in him cultivating a technique to be able to drink without getting drunk.
It's not just a fun little thing but shows his own code and how he looks at life.
When we meet him first, we see he is way more forgiving of Wei Wuxian and his antics than any Lan and even encourages Lan Wangji to give it a chance and be friends.
And this point Lan Wangji is just as bad as Qiren when it comes to upholding rules, (not bad as in bad person) and Lan Xichen pushes him towards Wei Wuxian because he clearly is not someone who follows rules blindly and it does help Lan Wangji.
Wei Wuxian is the reason Lan Wangji actually thinks of the rules and considers them, forming his own opinions on them and during all of this Lan Xichen is open and accepting of questions and patience. Because he trusts Wangji will come to the right path eventually and this time it wouldn't be him following rules blindly but they would guide him to the path he wants to take.
And then the war happens and Lan Xichen is forced to abandon his family to protect his sect and he does so.
In his lowest moment he meets JGY and is a witness to his kindness and support and at this moment Lan Xichen could give him nothing and maybe jgy tells him the truth about the general or maybe half a truth, either way, he hears his side too.
And then JGY takes on a very dangerous mission to play spy on WRH and they win mainly because JGY took these steps whole endangering himself, when it could have been so easy for him to betray others.
Also during this time him and NMJ have not been talking about JGY.
And by the time NMJ starts talking about JGY, JGY has done more rights than wrongs in Lan Xichen's book, you can't judge a person by just one action afterall, you need to consider the possibilities. Also his raging screaming and yelling black and white morals is not something that can shake Lan Xichen when he is analysing that at this point JGY is on their side and has been from the start.
Like even the reason for the proposed brotherhood was a political move and not just him wanting for his friends to get along. (When I remove my 3zun goggles*cough*) Because the high friction between Nie Mingjue and Jin clan could have very well started another war because let's remember - NMJ was highly unstable and could easily be triggered into it unless he was held back by something like a sworn brother pact- the sworn brothers pact would bring the largest three clans remaining to be tied together and unable to start another war that would cause even more harm.
Because Lan Xichen's first and foremost priorities are to avoid another war or discord that could cause casualties. He is out there taking disrespect from the kinds of Jin Zixun biting his tongue about Su She to maintain the peace in the cultivation world.
And in defense JGY does try to fix things with NMJ at the start(until nmj insulted his mom which is the trigger for him to have done almost all the on screen kills except maybe wrh) , he is indeed, kind and respectful and he did a lot for Gusu sect, all of that has got to add up.
JGY plays a dirty political game but he also did a lot of good for the cultivation world.
With the side that JGY maintains in front of LXC it's way more surprising that LXC even gave LWJ and WWX a chance to present their case.
But that was also only because Lan Xichen will always love and trust his brother, even if according to him the brother is once again back with his "toxic" situationship that almost killed him 13/16 years ago.
This is the one of the few time he chooses his brother over his sect leader duties.
Because if he was to follow the path as the sect leader the evidence presented until then compared to the words just words and no physical evidence shared by Lwj and WWX it's clear which choice he should have made.
Even in the end when we know that it is a fact that JGY has in fact never harmed or even tried to harm LXC, he still takes a stand against him. Is willing to die beside him for the one mistake he made of trusting JGY and it wasn't a blind trust, it was trust built up over months, years during and after the war.
Anyways, Lan Xichen my beloved you are doing good, great even come out of seclusion 🥺.
#so what i am saying is#that lan xichen best brother and great sect leader#he is trying his best#with minimal faults#he sees the situation asseses it and tries to maintain peace#because lord knows someone needs to push for maintaining the peace#the untamed#cql#lan xichen#jin guangyao#lan wangji#wei wuxian#nie mingjue

imagine how much better bruce & jason content would be if they genuinely made it so that jason’s existence in gotham never lets bruce off the hook. you don’t get to forget, bruce wayne. batman.
jason will always be the reminder of bruce’s mistakes, but not in what caused jason’s death rather in everything that came after. jason should not be there to absolve him of his guilt and grief and contradictions. he should be constantly calling bruce out on his hypocrisy and it should be tearing bruce’s mind to shreds. because they BOTH know that there is truth in what jason is saying, whether its re: his post humous treatment of jason as robin or their stances on killing.
bruce only deals with absolutes. he only ever deals in black and white no matter how much his “people can always change” philosophy tries to convince the audience otherwise. because bruce knows in the case of the joker that its just not true, jason knows its not true and the audience knows its not true but the narrative and the writers and bruce himself is trying to gaslight everyone otherwise.
it doesn’t have to be that one is right and the other is wrong, there’s merits to what both are saying in gotham’s reality, but bruce will never, ever admit so and I personally think jason shouldn’t let him off the hook for it.
I think this also comes back to that post where op was saying that jason’s refusal to center himself around batman’s pain was what was seen as “the ultimate betrayal” and he shouldn’t have to! bruce doesn’t deserve it, god knows, and I’d argue he needs someone like jason in his vigilante life to give him that swift kick to the head
#jason todd#bruce wayne#batman#red hood#dc#dcu#who am I if not someone who comes back every few months to shitpost about jason todd and then leave again#perhaps in a way:#anti batman#for filtering purposes#how do you continue to move the characters and the story along while maintaining jasons autonomy?#perhaps if dc writers didnt treat whoever was opposing batman as the only one who needs to ‘learn’ then we could live in peace#mine

idc peace is still so beautiful and full of so much tenderness and is such an earnest love song no matter what the real life circumstances turned into
#i maintain that like many songs the context of it matters#just like the discussion about paris earlier#in happy times where you feel secure peace is just a vulnerable admission of your own fears while acknowledging#the things you CAN and WANT to give your partner in spite of your own fears -- that is hope everlasting#it's just that in fraught times it gets twisted when the answer to the question posed is: no#(like how paris is a fun romantic bop if you're both in on the escape together and dreaming of the future#but sad if the escape is what you need to resort to *because* of your partner)

event silhouettes are having a teehee moment and i am nonebeef'd about it ~( ̄▽ ̄)~
#every day that i do not have to see the snake is a day i can live in peace.#when that first silhouette dropped and i was like. oh. oh that's definitely our knight in slutty armour#and ppl were going IT'S DEF GONNA BE A YAKMODNEVENT#i mean 🤔 i guess it's only fair? if these two have to share an event again#the first time was eddie trying to navigate yaku's world (kitchen. baking. foodmaking)#so it'll even things out if yaku now has to learn to navigate edmond's world (competitions. weaponry. RITUAL DEFENSE?)#but reading the event descrip ... HOW would the devs even put yaku in this??! i await their ingenuity because i personally cannot evenFATHO#my first thought was uhhh eddie and dante horse racing. and. idk. yakumo places the wreath on the winninng horse.#that's all he can do in this sorta swordslashing pageantry AHAHAH#but to have this... this surprise... oli? i think?#i am not complaining. i am indeed surprised. i wish to see where they are going with this#but i WILL NOTE that upon first silhouette inspection i was all#that is NOT yakumo. that spiky hair business? yaoi mullet adjacent? NO WAY.#that noodle does NOT have the energy to maintain a shounen protag's hairdo#he'd get all sad and his hair will automatically do the ghibbli flop. man sad. hair sad. gravity too strong#but hey i am fantastically bad at guessing and recognising anything#so i can be proven wrong at any time#we wait. and see...
