really fucking sick and tired of people who really fucking love the eddie book jumping on people who don't like or are even remotely critical of it's posts and like crusading their opinions around from the top of their high horses and shoving it down our throats.

if you like the book, great! that's awesome! love that for you! i am genuinely glad that you were able to find good in it and enjoy it!!

but not everyone did, and not everyone is going to agree with you. so, instead of going on some grand crusade where you find every single post that includes anything even remotely negative or negative adjacent or even neutrally critical and spending ALL this time and effort trying to provide unwanted rebuttals to every single thing, maybe you should just stay in your lane and find people who DO like the book and chat about it with them.

because i can PROMISE YOU, none of us appreciate it when you come onto our posts and start accusing us of "hating on" the author or "being rude" about her and her work and RIDICULOUS shit like that.

being critical of something and pointing out it's flaws is NOT inherently hating on it. i, frankly, do not know where people got that notion, but it's not fucking true so can we fucking quit assuming it is? and, critiquing something is also NOT the same as saying this is shit and it sucks and the author is a piece of garbage. again, where the fuck that came from is beyond me. you can be critical of something and still enjoy it. as soooo many of you love to point out, it's not perfect, why should it be perfect? so D U H. of course that means criticism can and should arise???

also. hot take (by which i mean ice fucking cold because it's NOT a fucking hot take), but going around toting FALSE facts as part of your "defense" does not make you or your argument look good. you, like the author, should maybe do a basic fact check first. 🙃

tldr, if you like the book, that's genuinely great, but stay in your fucking lane and stop seeking out posts from people who didn't like it to start shit in the notes.

Basically, the Samwena of it all is something like:

SAM takes her prisoner, throws his weight away, and makes weird demands surrounding her power.

It's almost like his character in Peace of Mind, if you think too hard about it, lol:

///

But here's the twist. Rowena also is a goddamned piece of work:

*Demon talks about equal work, equal pay* ROWENA SNORTS & says "Tear the man in half!"

///

RE: power

Samwena is also this:

ROWENA (s10): An angel of the Lord, the King of Hell, more power than I could possibly dream of, utterly wasted—

&

SAM (s14, to Chuck): Then why don't you do something? If I had your power—

"subsistence farming was the most miserable lifestyle of all time and anticiv freakazoids are just cottagecore-loving colonizers"

it's not about the comfort or aesthetics, it's about the ecological sustainability. industrial food production erodes the substrate on which it is grown, and continually reduces biodiversity, especially in times of population growth. there is a point at which humans must find other ways to feed, or we will die.

there are more options than just "industrial agriculture with bread shipped thousands of miles overnight" vs "grow potatoes and slave away in a field until you die of malnutrition." i promise that many of the anticiv freakazoids are NOT advocating for subsistence farming, lmao (let alone any kind of regularly cropped farming.)

the guy eating bananas and chocolate and strawberries is really going to talk to us about "the miserable conditions of food production that is substinence farming." like, for real. u think that the current conditions are less miserable. for everyone. u truly believe this.

patently ridiculous illness

Gonna be totes honest if I just see a post attributing recent societal changes to a vague concept of "puritanism", especially if they connect that concept to teenagers and TikTok while utterly failing to acknowledge, say, the rise of the religious right and backlash against queer people becoming more visible in many places in the world, I'm just gonna think that they're an idiot without any substantive worldview outside of like. Writing fanfiction.

dude I was looking through clips for a reference image and it literally makes me sick with anger that Genndy chose to portray Africa like That. Literally racist caricatures like come onnnn man. The worst part is that I really want to LIKE that episode aside from the art direction. His mentor is a very sweet guy and I like Jack’s little rivalry with the other kid. I dislike that Jack has to save everyone and the other tribe is portrayed even worse, but at least Jack isn’t fighting by his fucking self the whole scene. there was so much potential in this episode if Genndy hadn’t been so fucking racist with his character designs. I do not fucking understand why he chose to make them absolutely pitch black in color. That’s not what humans look like. It’s like how he colors Jack straight up yellow sometimes. I know during the time this came out it was not very likely for bigotry to get called out but that had to have made some people uncomfortable. Jeeeeesus Christ. The guy portrayed China more respectfully than he portrayed literally any other culture including Japan lmao. Actually I take that back he gave quite a few Chinese characters racist accents. The man wanted a ‘multiethnic’ feel to his show but could not fucking stop being white and racist for it

Back then, should've bit your tongue 'Cause there's no turnin' back this path once it's begun You're already on that list Say you don't want what you can't resist Wavin' that sword when the pen won't miss Watch it all fallin' apart like this This is what you asked for, heavy is the crown Fire in the sunrise, ashes rainin' down Try to hold it in, but it keeps bleedin' out This is what you asked for, heavy is the - Heavy is the crown

WHAT DOES YOUR HEART LOOK LIKE?

broken, missing pieces that once were there your heart has been torn before, chipped and maybe even shattered. some pieces will never be recovered, and you are shaped by the loss. but it can still be shaped into something tangible, something good, even with its flaws and imperfections. you don’t have to do all the work of rebuilding by yourself. allow other hands to leave their fingerprints on the new heart you create from the remnants.

she's starting to get into tarot now too, and I think I get prickly about her picking up interests I already picked up for myself (or tried to) because like. I have very very little self, between how I grew up and how sick I've been. she gets to have a career and a passion and a self and a gender and all this shit I don't. so it bugs me when she starts to step into these surface level things because I don't really. have anything else.

'dont project heteronormative dynamics unto my gay pairing' -> the 'heteronormative' dynamics in question: playing around with gender and feminisation, having any top bottom preferences at all, eroticising size and/or power differences. things queer people famously never do. lol. lmao even.
