#not accusing anyone of anything

it's the middle of the night so this isn't a comprehensive post but I've been thinking about how defensive and weaponizing e/riels and toxic elain stans are, especially in comparison to other characters and stans, and I think it has something to do with white women's tears, and white feminism as a whole, exacerbated by the rise of traditionalism.

but thats just a theory, a game theory.

Opinions that will definitely get me kicked out of the fandom:

While I am very proud of Hyunjin and love how happy he is being an ambassador for Versace, and of COURSE he deserves to be appreciated for how gd gorgeous he is...

1) It feels a bit ironic how he used to take issue with people thinking he didn't need to work hard because of his looks, and now he's doing something that's 99% about his looks (but he deserves to flaunt it, I mean look at him)

2) Some of Donatella's interactions with him honestly feel too close to "if she was an old dude and Hyunjin was a girl group idol, there would already be some discourse about this" for comfort.

It doesn't trigger any alarms for me, it's just a bit uncomfy to watch sometimes

Being a batfam fan is funny because people will make a post like “here’s my headcanon-“ and it’s just something that’s directly canon to the story then post about major canon events and get everything wrong.

it's a pet peeve but I kinda hate when people draw Mabel with pin-straight hair. like, the simplicity of the artstyle leaves it kind of ambiguous how curly it is, but we also know what pin-straight hair looks like in the Gravity Falls artstyle because Pacifica exists. and Mabel's hair doesn't look anywhere near that straight. like c'mon. just draw her with some curls.

[ID from alt: a screenshot of Mabel and Pacifica for comparison. Mabel's hair fluffs out towards the ends, forming round shapes. Pacifica's hair is perfectly straight, with some of the straight strands even drawn individually. End ID.]

Recreation of a realization i had today

[spartalabouche]

sometimes its really obvious how much people dont actually believe presentation=/=gender when they see their nonbinary friend go from extremely masculine to relaxing back into femininity once theyre comfortable with their gender and every time they call it detransitioning with zero indication thats what their friend is calling it. i dont know how to tell you this but sometimes you present a certain way for social reasons and not because thats how you actually feel. sometimes you experience dysphoria about your body that is actually related to how people view you and not how you feel about your body. i really dont think its that uncommon for trans people to swing really hard in one direction for the affirmation and then relax back into a different presentation once they are more comfortable in their gender

Something that bothers me a bit about Americans talking about The Golden Age of the economy is... It wasn't a golden age, not for everyone.

People seem to universalize the fact that you could afford college and rent when... That was true for specific people. It wasn't the universal - especially those who were Black, or Indigenous, or for PoC in general, or women, or queer and trans people. Universalizing any stage of America's history only tells one story. You don't acknowledge the stories of anyone else when you do this.

This just reminds me of Paris Is Burning, and of what was said about the ballroom participates, many of whom were BIPoC and/or queer:

[Video Description: A clip from the documentary Paris Is Burning (1990). Pepper LaBeija is sitting on a chair and she is saying:

Those balls are, more or less, like our fantasy of being a superstar, you know like the Oscars or whatever. Or being on a runway as a model. You know, a lot of those kids that are in the balls, they don't have two of nothing. Some of them don't even eat. They come to balls starving, and they sleep in the under twenty-one, or they sleep on the pier or whatever. They don't have a home to go to, but they'll go out and they'll steal something and get dressed up and come to a ball for that one night and live the fantasy.

i once looked at a Beatles iceberg chart, and along the bottom was a conspiracy theory about how before they got famous, they were regular customers of a sex trafficking ring in Hamburg? I know it's kinda off base but I wanna know what's that about

The idea that Tommy, a closeted gay man who was desperately trying to fit in in a hyper macho and discriminatory environment, isn't allowed to have any growth from when he was over compensating and was a dick to Chim really pisses me off. He literally had canonical growth to the point he was going for drinks with Chim and Hen in Bobby Begins Again and they got him a fancy leaving cake.

Why isn't he allowed to grow and be better? Because he's white? Because he "gets in the way of buddie"? Because no one is allowed to say and change at all over a decade?

Like this is a queer fandom and I'd bet a lot of money that a ton of people in this fandom said and did things they weren't proud of when they were younger, especially before they came out so they could try and hide it.

I know this is quite a young fandom too but like, it was literally only a decade ago when "gay" was an insult at school and doing anything that could be get you accused of being gay was fucking social suicide. You guys have no idea how lucky you are that people at least get called out for that shit now cause they didn't when I was a kid. I would have done almost anything to just be ignored, let alone accepted, rather than being openly bisexual.

So yeah, I think Tommy is allowed to fucking change as a person because Bobby, Chim and Hen came into his life and allowed him to stop repressing. Stop being such fucking assholes. You aren't any better than him, and frankly the way some of you behave makes the way Tommy acted when he was first in the show look like a fucking saint. Touch some grass.

PONGTONG!!!

(context 1 / 2) I saw this.. idk man I'm not saying it's not real and I'm not trying to kill the vibe but it strikes me as kind of weird that none of this has come from Pong or Tong themselves, you know? the video was posted by Pond and is of him questioning them and it was Pond that confirmed it on social media and idk, it just feels kinda off to me that there’s been no word from either of the people actually involved.

I hope that anything that’s been posted has been posted with full permission, but from what I’ve seen there’s no confirmation that this is the case and I’m gonna be just a lil apprehensive about it until we hear anything from Tong and Pong themselves

Tanthai, what kind of idiot are you to post this on instagram? Child, I love you, but this is just dumb. My poor tiny idiot child.

This is the only time his father has ever been right in his life. Not for the reasons he thinks, of course. But nonetheless. They would have been so much safer if they hadn't done that.

Tanthai breaks my heart on so many levels and Thee loves him so much and his father doesn't give a single fuck about him.

Oh, so the father is a monster.

I am entirely lost to these two. I love them so much. The broken rich young master who is so hated by his own father that he has truly never been loved and the bodyguard who will willingly become a whipping boy if he has any hope of protecting him, of keeping him alive, of saving him to love him the way he deserves to be loved.

Thee is absolutely the hero that Tanthai deserves and they absolutely break my entire heart into tiny pieces with their pain.
