[juney-blues]

there is, famously, a huge amount of social pressure on gnc cis people to transition. society just wants more trans people, trans women especially. this is a real and serious problem. there are just too many trans women making egg jokes. we have to protect the poor cis people from being compared to us (which is clearly and self evidently a horrible thing to do clearly)

i wonder if there’s like an inciting incident that makes wilbur cross and miss holloway fight each other or do they just innately hate each other’s vibe immediately

i’m imagining in one timeline they both coincidentally go to the same place and when they lock eyes for the first time, holloway is like

“wow, that guy’s vibe is just rancid. is anyone going to kill him?? no?? well, if no one else is going to…”

and wilbur’s immediately like “i need that jacket. i need that jacket. i need that jacket. i need that jacket. I NEED THAT JACKET!”

then they silently exit and start duking it out in the parking lot without even saying a word to each other

guess who finished tlok tonight and immediately had this come to him in a vision!!!!

Curly had two days to act and Swansea had two months.

I think it’s just interesting that every defense of Swansea not immediately acting are the same ones that are argued against for Curly. “He didn’t want to alert Daisuke or makes things worse for Anya either Jimmy!” I mean people also assume that about Curly and the crew. “He has to think about his plan of action and a right moment!” Again so did Curly, power and authority aside, he still would have to think of what he had to do. “He makes sure he doesn’t have to be around Jimmy!” So did Curly and they only do this to an extent, both give Jimmy more than a few opening to keep harassing Anya.

This isn’t defense of Curly nor a damnation of Swansea. Their actions are very parallel to each others in tragic and sour ways when it comes to how they approached helping Anya. In the grand scheme of it all they both did the same thing: Nothing. No action either took stopped the inevitable outcome of her death nor Jimmy’s continued damage to themself.

The only real difference is Swansea didn’t like Jimmy which is pretty substantial, but also just as damning as Curly knowing how bad Jimmy could get to an extent. He had even less of a reason to wait, even more of a reason to act seeing as he was now worried for Anya AND Daisuke. He is not bound by the possible procedure as Captain and actively does not care about what happens next. So what does it matter if he acted in the moment? Why did he wait? I think he’s just as morally complex and grey as Curly and we hold him on a pedestal that still perpetuates things in rape culture the game critiques.

It’s not just enough to dislike and be abrasive to predators/abusers like Jimmy. It’s not enough to just put yourself between them and the other person. It’s not enough to hold tensions when you know someone is vulnerable. He and Curly do the exact same things but on different sides of the coin. I ask how is it better to not turn a blind eye but still not really do anything about what you are seeing? Not until it affects you atleast…

The game makes a big point to not put men doing the bare minimum or who wait to do more on pedestals and I’m actually surprised so many are missing that point.

Zutara fans please read this. Its important.

I have absolutely nothing against Zutara. NOTHING. However, this kind of behavior is unacceptable. Homophobia is UNACCEPTABLE, no matter the ship, no matter the fandom.

For context: I am a Zukka shipper. This was the most recent comment on one of my ZUKKA POSTS. There was no mention of Zutara at all. There was absolutely no reason for this person to comment this on my post, yet they did it anyways.

Zukka is not canon and is very unlikely to ever be canon (even less than Zutara). It's a harmless FANON ship.

Toxic Zutara shippers like this guy give the good Zutaras out there a bad name. Please think before commenting things like that. It's very harmful to many people IRL.

To the good Zutaras out there, you guys are cool and it's a shame that homophobes/bigots are giving you a bad name.

PS: I'm not gonna bother censoring the person's name. Homophobes and bigots deserve to be called out.

Seeing as the Gerudo turned on Ganon, he might not have been that much better of a ruler.

First of all, we literally have no idea, because the only ancient Gerudo that we actually get to interact with is Ganondorf himself, and he has nothing to say about his own people. The ancient Gerudo sage doesn't count btw, she doesn't have a name, we never even see her face, and she has literally nothing to say except repeating the exact same dialogue as the sages for the other races. The narrative does not treat the ancient sages as people; they are four completely interchangable weapons that are owned by the royal family.

And secondly, I don't care how Ganon ruled them; the Gerudo only get one man every century, if their king sucks, they've obviously got their own system of government to fall back on. I have no idea what kind of authority the sages had among their own people, but honestly I'd say if the four of them were in charge of their respective people, then they were just puppet rulers appointed by Rauru, given that all four of them happily agreed that to sell their entire race into servitude the second Zelda asked them. Say what you will about Ganondorf, but I fucking know that if he was told the Gerudo people existed for the sole purpose of serving the glory of Hyrule, he'd drop kick Zelda into the fucking sun.

And don't get me started on the implications of the cultural differences we see between the independent Gerudo and the annexed Gerudo. The background Gerudo characters all have their own models, and we can clearly see that the ones siding with Ganon have their own unique looks - for example, the amazing lady with the mohawk that summons the molduga swarm in that one flashback. And men are never mentioned in these flashbacks at all, which implies that the Gerudo genuinely didn't care about settling down. Ganon even speaks derisively about marriage, implying that it's very rare for Gerudo women to make serious romantic commitments with men. It implies that their culture is more along the same line as their portrayal in OOT - they are a closed culture. Men trying to force their way into their areas are arrested, and mocked for being entitled dumbasses. Outsiders are only welcome if they can prove that they respect the Gerudo as people, and aren't just there to try and pick up chicks. It's never outright said, but OOT also makes it pretty clear that the Gerudo women just aren't interested in marrying outsiders - close relationships occur with other Gerudo, Hylian men are only considered useful for making babies.

Meanwhile the Gerudo we see serving Hyrule are all trying to measure up to Hylian beauty standards, and appeal to their men. Their one goal in life is to meet a man and get married. Men are welcome in their lands, and only kept out of the town itself... and even then, there's a small army of guys trying to force their way into the town anyways, which is brushed off as just haha, boys will be boys. No men allowed isn't even about independence, it's just a silly romantic tradition.

Of course this is just a fictional culture in a game world, but it's still really fucking uncomfortable that the 'evil' Gerudo are the ones that have independence, both politically and socially, and display a unique culture that refuses to tolerate disrespect from outsiders. Meanwhile the 'good' Gerudo are the ones that canonically exist to serve a kingdom where 95% of the population is light skinned (even setting aside the unfortunate implications, just saying one race exists to serve a different one is super fucked up), they have classes on how to be more appealing to Hylian's, and their entire social structure is built around finding a Hylian man to marry, making them all inherently dependent on the goodwill of outsiders. Even their biggest value of 'women only' is treated as a joke; men trying to trespass in BOTW are just shoved back out the door, letting them keep trying all day if they want. The crowds of men plotting to force their way in are laughed off as a joke. Nobody cares that there's a guy running laps around their city walls and trying to trick women into being alone with him. I mean for fucks sake, in TOTK we find that the creepy guy trying to lure women away has taken advantage of a massive disaster to get into the town, and he's still there once things return to normal. You can't kick him out, or alert anyone to his presence. And the Gerudo just tolerate Hylians blatantly ignoring their boundaries. For fucks sake, TOTK even reveals that the seven legendary heroines they've been revering the whole time were actually completely useless and unable to achieve anything... because they needed the eighth hero, a Hylian man to teach them basic tactics and do all the heavy lifting.

TOTK does not respect the Gerudo people in the slightest. It doesn't respect anyone who isn't Hylian or Zonai.

...This got a little off track, but the point I'm trying to make is, no, I don't consider the Gerudo turning on Ganon to mean anything. The entire game does not feel like the real story of what happened, it feels like the propaganda version of history meant to make Hyrule look as good as possible. I genuinely cannot believe that we're being told the real story about the Imprisoning War, because none of it feels real, and we don't get to know any details that might have made Hyrule look even slightly imperfect. We're told that Ganondorf is evil because he hates Hyrule, and he hates Hyrule because he's evil. The Gerudo people followed Ganondorf and saw him as a hero of their people, then suddenly he was their worst enemy. Hyrule is a perfect kingdom that has strong, equal alliances with the other races, but also all of the non-Hylian races exist for the sole purpose of serving Hyrule, and their leaders are expected to swear eternal loyalty and submission to the Hylian royal family. King Rauru and Queen Sonia united all of the races in peace and equality, which is why they're sitting on the world's supply of magical nuclear missiles, and every member of the Hylian royal family is allowed to walk around wearing them as cute accessories, but everyone else only gets them at the last second, and they all need to outright swear to only use that power to benefit Rauru and his descendants.

There's just so many fucked up contradictions, and so many hints of something more nuanced going on... but the story refuses to acknowledge any of it, and just keeps aggressively pushing the narrative that Hyrule is the ultimate good and couldn't possibly do anything wrong. I don't even believe that Ganon was a bad king honestly; we never hear why his people stopped following him. We also never even see if the Gerudo people turned on him at all; all we know is the ancient Gerudo sage wanted him dead, and given that she also happily sold her people into slavery, she's not exactly the most trustworthy source of information. All we know is that Ganondorf was a hero to his people, only one of his citizens is ever shown having an issue with him (and her motives are never explained), and then he lost the war and was sealed away, leaving his people open to be conquered by Zelda and annexed into Hyrule. By the time we see any Gerudo actually opposing Ganon (apart from the ancient sage), it's been ten thousand years since the war, and all anyone knows is the Hylian version of the story.

I’m going to fucking lose it all the Pinterest comments on ships other than Percabeth and Solangelo so just “ew omg that’s not canon” (and then immediately go to another post and go valgrace no.1!!!) “I’m actually so crazy Solangelo is so perfect uwu” “That’s not percabeth!!!!! Ew ew ew” “percabeth no.1 ship!!!” “THEYRE COUSSSIIINS” (AS IF THIS ISNT GREEK MYTHOLOGY) “Ummmm where is Will” Etc etc

I love lake mungo because everyone who’s seen it is like. this is a must view film if you love tragedy, horror or dissecting the complexities of the nuclear family & specifically teenage girlhood. this is the saddest film about loneliness in a profound sense & grief you’ve ever seen. it’s the best ghost story that’s not even necessarily a literal ghost story ever told. it’s identity as horror & if you’re interested in cinema you must watch it. & then there’s the 99% of people who are like “huh? never heard of it lol” I love 2008 unknown cult classic gem lake mungo ok bye

I LOVE These panels of Gojo glazing the fuck out of Sukuna and gushing about him so much that Geto was getting jealous.

Lmaaoo Geto's like: ? 🤨...

he doesn't look happy omg he's trying to play it cool 😭😭

And all gojo said was Oh iF yOu weRe tHere maYbE I WouLd hAvE beeN sAtiSfied

Lmaaao You liar

This you????

(him remembering the fight with Toji while fighting Sukuna)

Like.. DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD BE JEALOUS!!

Geto...You know what they say.. you need to trust your gut feeling, this man satoru is cheating on you emotionally.

It's so fucking funny Geto is really getting cucked, he let satoru off too easy because he's a simp, and wanted to hear how much he meant to Gojo for a long time.

But I KNOW Satoru is thinking of the fight with Sukuna while he's getting his cheeks clapped by Suguru in heaven😔

time probably doesn't even exist in that place, so it must feel like the fight just happend moments ago.

I KNOW He lays awake thinking of Sukuna's last words to him, I KNOW he giggles and kicks his feet.

He would have kicked his feet right there if they were attached to him😔

Geto you're too lucky that Sukuna didn't accept Satoru's love, and killed him instead (which is Sukuna's love language btw don't worry about it), otherwise I think it would have been over for you my friend..

(Those two dicks would've ruined satoru for everyone else)

OVER ARCANE????????

[gingerswagfreckles]

Well they caught him. If he wasn't the exact kind of person tumblr loves, the conspiracy theories about this being a random person being framed would have continued to spread. But he's an attractive 26 year old white man who was caught carrying a manifesto about corporate America and has an internet history that matches up with tumblr's general politics. So everyone is going to get excited about how he's a martyr and go back to acknowledging reality in that there isn't a conspiracy to frame the wrong guy.

The discussions over whether or not this man should be lionized as a hero are honestly not as relevant as the comfort with which people are going to drop the conspiracy theory they would have been fully committed to if this man's politics turned out to be nuts. The ease with which the userbase of this website switches between realities based on whether or not they confirm their biases is really alarming. I just hope people understand how weird it is to claim a random person is 100% going to be framed by the FBI on one day, and then drop that by the next day when it becomes clear that the person being "framed" is the exact kind of communist you had hoped.
