i think ppl criticizing saltburn for being a bad addition to this weird influx of self-aware class conscious movies we’ve seen in these last couple of years are so funny because that is literally not at all what this movie is going for.

its so easy to conflate aestheticism with classism, especially when saltburn plays with this kind of gauche idea of beauty, but the problem isn’t that the catton’s have an unnatural relationship with wealth and material, it’s that they have an unnatural relationship with beauty and a seemingly never ending supply of it. and of course these things go hand in hand. in a house where desire is unheard of, to be of want is a messy ordeal that’s shunned and repressed.

but this movie is never asking what you would do for material gain. it’s about obsession with a relationship and a person that is close enough to touch but still off limits. how do you tell somebody that has never wanted in their life that you want them? how badly do you want them? would you do something ugly for them? would you kill for them?

so sorry but that post about "the reason boys and men are being radicalized is bc girls are mean to them" is driving me up the fucking wall. maybe i really am just on a different internet than the rest of you but. this sentiment of "women are being bitches who don't care about men and that's why there's Problems now" is like. such an alpha male podcast classic take. like it's literally "not all men". it doesn't magically become better bc u say stuff with liberal terminology. jesus christ

i don't usually say i'm embarrassed by my generation (i don't like to generalise) but the stories and videos coming out recently of how young people are acting at concerts is fucking shameful. throwing stuff at the musicians, holding up phones with fucking south park episodes or whatever, yelling stupid meme phrases whenever there's a quiet moment. oh my god, these people are baring their SOULS to you and you're exploiting it for a fucking tiktok. it makes me so angry. how DARE you

I think "canonicity" is the stupidest thing ever, in completed works at least. Interpretation has never been and never will be confined to the realm of what the author intends by virtue of it's 1 story with a limited # of creators—Authorial intent, observing subtext, personal Interpretations, and opinions on how the work could've differed are all part of engaging with the text. Putting "canonicity" above everything else, either to celebrate or disparage a certain reading, is counterproductive to engaging with the text. It also heavily relies on the critic's definition of canon—which varies wildly and, depending on the case, may erase important parts of the text.

Stop idolising authors, regarding their word as gospel, and seeking their validation via canon in order to feel confident in your reading. You can talk the merit of readings but its pointless to argue about their correctness via whether or not the author agrees with you personally.

The author can and will have bad takes.

the casual way cql/mdzs fans will post like absolutely objectively incorrect takes is sooo annoying too like 'haha it's soooo funny how [literally something that has zero support from the text and is just something op thinks would be funny if it was actually a thing]' like obvi it's a thing in every fandom space but it's so obnoxious to me when it's something EYE like

i’m sorry i can’t hold this back anymore bht when robert pattinson started hating on twilight it was so funny and iconic of him but rachel zegler dunking on snow white makes her bitchy and disrespectful likeeee?? “that’s bc snow white was actually good” my brother in christ did we watch the same movie. like obviously it popularized an entire era of new entertainment (or something!) but other than Princess Voice and Ooh Pretty Picture it has absolutely nothing fuckin going for it sorry. forget about it being “outdated”— it’s just fuckin boring. sorry that ur misogynistic and racist tho

[rainbowbeanstyles]

man i don't know why but i can't trust people who erase canon information about a character just to label them a sexuality that doesn't even make sense

lrb i keep thinking about how people in my life have tried to coax the streak of recklessness out of me as it has increasingly gotten stronger...i keep thinking of how it's an issue of safety and health but the more time i spend with this sitting inside myself the less i care, the more i feel i need to engage in certain lustful activities--and let it be said i do not mean lust in purely sexual form, but spiritual lust, emotional lust as well--to fulfill my soul. from a philosophical standpoint on bodily autonomy and free will, despite risk to my safety and to my health, i should be allowed to do those things. not that anyone is physically stopping me or anyone else, but i find it difficult to explain to people in my life that i'm aware of the dangers of (whatever), but i can hardly stop myself, and i don't want to stop myself.

I feel like certain people on Tumblr have really been fighting for backwards progress when it comes to how we talk about mental illness and abuse. I see posts at least several times a week on my dash that seem to have the purpose of implying people with insert-mental-illness and/or insert-symptom are not abusive when they do insert-action-that-makes-people-uncomfortable, often times meaning to promote a more positive image of people with particularly stigmatized conditions, like personality disorders, mood disorders, psychosis, addiction, or neurodivergence. And I really really hate it because these posts almost always have the ultimate purpose of telling people not just "This thing is not inherently abusive," but often it comes across as "You were not abused."

I just find that to be really unhelpful and unintentionally hurtful, and for what? I believe that destigmatizing various mental conditions is a worthy cause, but at the same time this type of rhetoric seems to be so protective of people in whichever stigmatized group they're trying to advocate for, that it comes back around to a sort of respectability politics. Anybody can be an abuser. And someone's means and methods of abusing can very much be influenced by a condition they have. Why wouldn't it be? Their conditions will affect every aspect of their life and their interpersonal relationships. Especially if these issues are going untreated or being insufficiently managed. I don't understand why anyone would want to make it appear as if abusers are mostly neurotypical and mentally well people, or that if they aren't, then their conditions have nothing to do with it and the overlap is merely incidental. What? It makes it so hard for anyone who is a victim to come to terms and identify the dynamics of what they've gone through.

Addicts and mentally ill people don't have to be unproblematic in order to be humanized and accepted. And nobody profits from writing hard and fast rules about how abuse apparently works, drawing clear lines between which behaviors can, and cannot, ever be abuse.

Thinking about how Welcome Home fandom has been mostly positive for me
