media and censorship really do be like that these days :/ protecc and shield the children yes, but do you realise that they WILL, inevitably, experience the world raw someday?? and isnt it better to be aware of the fact that said raw world is not candy land?? isn't it better to be prepared to be slapped in the face, rather than not knowing getting slapped in the face is even an option??
idk
#twitter repost#censorship#lol what#be careful or else kids might get traumatised by weather#unpopular opinion#but#if you can't handle some offense dont partake in social media#or media of any kind really#and this is coming from a person with two vastly different yet insanely strong ptsd triggers#but lemme tell you#it's worse when there's a content or trigger warning#it's worse when people try to keep you in the dark about a subject#it's worse when you are unwillingly thrown into a meltdown only to open the article/media and see it wasnt even that bad in the first place#(at least for me)

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder
╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher
#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies#(more thoughts at the end of the tags)#shameless#shamelessnet#shamelessedit#ian gallagher#cameron monaghan#*macygifs#bipolar disorder#hello pals how are we doin#i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags#and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes)#i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation#that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day#world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder#which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life#while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life#and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines#over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful#i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended#hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles#world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder#and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized)#it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all#it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen#so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can.#we are worth it#i promise#anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder#go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen ning#wei wuxian#Ignore how Wen Ning's hair looks here because I messed it up. Let's pretend he just sported a different hair style for a brief moment.#I am not exactly great at consistency but I am trying very hard to work on that (immediately messes up again).#Absolutely *love* how Wen Ning clearly remembers and admires WWX...who does *not* recognize him.#This is the best day for Wen Ning and it means *nothing* to WWX. A painful one-sided crush made worse.#It is bittersweet to realize that we care about someone more than they care about us. Sometime we pour love into a relationship-#-with someone who just can't reciprocate. It isn't always a conscious things either. Some people just aren't aware we care.#And painfully - so painfully - You can't make them aware. No act of kindness or gift or self sacrifice will make someone care about you.#You can martyr yourself for someone and they will continue on unchanged.#I think a lot about the parallels between WN and LWJ. Not foils - just reflections. A theme repeated.#People who give so much of themselves to someone who doesn't have the capacity to give any part of themself away.#I will die on the hill of 'Wen Ning would be the love triangle romance if that trope wasn't being avoided'.#And to be honest - thank the stars above that is the case. I do not know any good love triangles in media.#We are skipping some of the sad Jiang Cheng content because I really want to finish season 2 before May.#Sorry JC emo moment lovers...I'll deliver another time.

I KEEP FORGETTING TO SAY THIS but my ideal au is always, ALWAYS a three men and a baby au. doesn't have to be men just yknow three adults and a baby. i know i have said this before but it was only the one time and it bears repeating, it bears so much repeating because i need it so bad for everything forever.
#imagine [insert 3 characters from any media] with a surprise doorstep baby they don't know how to care for#and also there's some kind of drug smuggling ring involved. <-REAL PART OF THE MOVIE THREE MEN AND A BABY#very important part of the au#wait i just looked at ao3 to see if there's a three men and a baby au tag (there isn't (or not an official one))#and there's a 3maab veronica mars fic????? okay lmao cautiously intrigued...#the problem is i don't really care about the men of veronica mars. but fanfic authors have pulled off greater feats#au#three men and a baby#my posts#@joelletwo maybe THEE paragon of platonic coparenting to me...formative movie that i watched a bajillion times as a little child#and three men and a little lady#i love this movie they were like 'hmmm how can we make the stakes higher in this movie about suddenly being responsible#for a tiny human and you don't know where she came from or why she's there and you had absolutely no warning? oh i know'#like IN MY OPINION those stakes are already plenty high. but okay i'm listening#omg i just went on the wikipedia page and LEONARD NIMOY DIRECTED IT??? movies of all time

Do you ever just become overwhelmingly cognizant of the existence of evil in the world?
Like, not as a cute, devil-emoji 😈 i'm-so-naughty-i-steal-chocolate-cake-and-do-weird-sex-acts thing, nor still as a melodramatic, comic-bookish, high-absorptivity-black-fabric, soon-my-death-ray-will-destroy-Metropolis thing, but like.
Actual Evil, as a force that is real and immanent in the world.
Just pointless cruelty inflicted pointlessly by one human being upon another because they've forgotten how to be kind. Just entire systems and machinery of state and ideology brought to bear on the problem of annihilating human lives and maximizing human suffering so that small men can feel powerful. Just humans who have through trauma or conditioning or propaganda shut off their ability to see other humans as fundamentally like them.
Anyways, I joke on here a lot. I get angry on here a lot. They're both just scabs to hide my horror and my despair at the condition of humanity.
Your regularly scheduled programming will return shortly.
#i've watched this entire genocide play out over social media; i've followed the news for decades beforehand#none of it ever really affected me in any way but outrage#but i watched just some of that 'bulldozer' video and it gave me the worst panic attack that i've had in years#like i had no idea that that well of despair was as deep as it turned out to be#what kind of people do that?#what kind of systems make people who do that?#do they go home afterwards? do they drink and laugh with their buddies?#do they look at themselves in the mirror every day for the rest of their lives?#do they ever feel even the smallest *particle* of sorrow? even the smallest quantum of disgust at what they've become?#do they have enough of a soul left to feel even the smallest corpuscle of guilt?

"not all men" but not in a men's rights way, in a "it's important to remember that men aren't the only perpetrators of cruelty, abuse, and evil and that subconsciously or consciously training yourself to view men as inherently evil and everyone else as inherently safe inadvertently puts you in a position where you're both vulnerable to attack or harm from people you otherwise wouldn't suspect, AND causes you to limit the number of allies you might have in a time of need" kind of way.
#This is why I worry a lot about young women (teens and twenties) who seek comfort and validation in r//adf//em circles. Many of them have#been hurt through rape or abuse—commonly at the hands of fathers/brothers/uncles or otherwise trusted adults—and have decided that men must#be cruel because both they and their female/female + queer friends have similar stories of abuse. So they seek out others who share this#belief but in doing so they make themselves vulnerable to further abuse and manipulation. I haven't really observed r//adf//em circles long#enough to be able to say what I'm about to say with certainty but I would put money on the idea that being a RF on social media shares the#same hallmarks as being in a cult because the behavior of the adherents is far too similar than that of tradwives or any other modern cult.#Other RF's use the hurt and abuse these young women have experienced and twist and manipulate their truth to foster a sense of#us-against-them cruelty against a population that could in actuality be their fiercest allies. It's such a vicious and relentless cycle.#That's why when I see RF's on here all I feel is pity — both for the cruelty and abuse they've witnessed and suffered but ALSO for the way#they've allowed that abuse to be weaponized against them... many before they were too young to realize it was even happening. We as a#society have got to get better at protecting our young girls and women from r//adf//em ideology. I don't even mean that in a#“destroy the patriarchy” kind of way because that's such a lofty and disorganized goal. I mean it in a “we have to go into uncomfortable#spaces and show these girls love and empathy because right now the only people validating them are people who use their hate and mistrust#against them and if we want to save our young girls and Queer sisters from this pipeline we have to do the dirty work“ kind of way.#But anyway.#jack.txt

frankly death note is one of those rare series where casual fans often understand it better than people who are obsessed with it bc the intentions and scope of the manga are pretty clear. like i find casual fans are generally pretty invested in the whole question of whether or not light is good whereas serious(tm) fans tend to dismiss this as settled. death note is ultimately very firm on the fact that light's whole endeavour is horrific but this does not mean readers aren't being invited to consider it. imo it's not an especially interesting series if you don't engage with that
#tbh i feel a lot of the 'death note is only good by accident' discourse comes from people#skipping to the end re: ths question#it suffers from its own success etc bc i think most people with any real investment already know light's plan is evil#& if you are an adult in 2024 its kind of obvious that this is the case#but it was written for children and teenagers in 2003 where plans just like light's were really common in YA/childrens media#and generally treated as good#it is a subversion of a trope that has fallen out of popularity and it is directed at a less savvy audience than people often realize

Me when the narrator is an external entity with its own motivations and agendas and the script it makes you follow is not the one you are confined to but be well aware that all folly has its limits and all relationships might sour
#the stanley parable#slay the princess#theres one more i can think of but i feel like itd look really comical next to these widely acknowledge bangers#like ah yes widely acclaimed game; widely praised beautifully drawn visual novel; and...a parody made by a guy on a whim#nonetheless funnily enough thats actually the one that i always think of in this context#like if you ask me for games where you have beef with the narrator youll get that and only after like 2 minutes will i remember tsp#oh if anyone knows more games like this or any other media like this feel free to drop names because i DIG this every time#nobody does it like this uuuh micro-trope#idk why i love it so much but i do. absolute banger. a hit every time.#what i also count as this is when there isnt a narrator per se but it turns out that the story is run by an actual script#like that there is a script the story is supposed to abide by but its literally just that. a script. its an external thing with no power.#because that implies the existence of some kind of author and a narrative and thats also a banger

yeah "character goes to their archenemy's house out of desperation because theyre severely injured and have nowhere else to go" is fun and all. but "character goes to their archenemy's house because theyre bored and frustrated and they dont feel they can be open with anyone else" is such a fun iteration of the trope
#funkys sillyposts#this is so specific i dont even know if it exists in any media outside of the singular instance i'm thinking of#oh well#ship dynamic#enemies to lovers#<- well. kind of. the “to” could always just be an “and” but sadly that isnt really a tag#sorry if you know what scene/pairing/show this is referencing. we're in the trenches together dw

Thoughts about the Minecraft movie trailer?
Imagine if it had all been filmed inside of minecraft, SMP style. It would be so funny to see the most intense scene and on screen its just 🧍♀️🧍🏽♂️
The trailer is...... something. Not something good, but it definitely exists. What a timeline we live in.
Does anyone know what the like to dislike ratio looks like right now?
#And then Alex says to Steve “Who am I without you?” and then Alex says “Yourself?” and then Herobrine herobrines all over the place-#yeah I don't like the trailer#I'm debating on drawing Poll in a pink sheep costume right now#but yeah the graphics really rub me the wrong way. Like a student learning how to apply texture to an object for the first time.#everything is also weirdly saturated#I'm convinced they didn't do any kind of research on what people would want#we could of had some speculative biology but noooooooo. Piglin bad. go talk to jack black. kill piglin and win. woo hoo.#I always make sure to give media like this the benefit of the doubt but there's a LOT of doubt here.#minecraft movie#not a poll#ask

Protagonists don't get mad enough, I think.
#this is mostly about Known Cinnamon Roll Luz Noceda#but i think its a common wider problem#rage against your problems is like. so so so universal and natural. and yet so much media just ignores it. especially kids media#protagonists are allowed to be determined. or sad. or desperate. or excited. or basically any possible response to opposition EXCEPT anger.#even the ones with violence! where rage would be perfectly normal and expected! the protagonist will almost never act in outright ANGER!#and when they DO its always shown as bad or “uncharactaristic” or whatever!#as though rage is some kind of Pure Evil trait that Good People dont have!#is it really so unspeakable? so irreproachable? so downright BAD to get mad sometimes?

"can't you guys shut up and stop complaining about the announcements and just have fun" i am having fun. i like complaining
#it is not 'problematic fandom' for people to have negative opinions. hope this helps!#taps the sign. it's my blog!#personally getting all my complaining out of the way lets me be pleasantly surprised when things grow on me#also... i'm sure some of the discourse will be stupid but like...#everyone going la la laa i'm not going to listen to any negative opinions on the game when it comes out#it really feels like people are trying to label serious critical commentary as 'discourse' already#like yeah. sorry. there will be 'discourse' about racism and ableism because the writers have always been bigots. sorry#and that kind of criticism aside. yes there will be some silly discourse. but like...#in every media ever created since the dawn of time people have argued over their opinions on x character or y plot point#and some of us enjoy critically engaging with our games and interacting with the broader sphere of opinions and analysis.#mine

By "roles" I mean playing a different character, and in a different piece of media; someone playing one character across a franchise only counts as one thing for the purposes of this poll, as does playing multiple characters in one franchise/piece of media
Below are some of this actor's roles. Please only check after voting!
Boardwalk Empire as Nucky Thompson (2 Emmy nominations)
Fargo as Carl Showalter
The Death of Stalin as Nikita Kruschev
Monsters Inc films as Randall Boggs (voice role)
More roles
#actors#movies#television#do you know this actor polls#polls#tumblr polls#steve buscemi#I didn't put it on the short list because even though its an important film I know not a ton of people have seen it#but one of his earliest roles was in the film 'Parting Glances' which I really recommend#if you have any kind of interest in the history of queer media especially!#it's for sure a must watch#and he's really really good in it

You ever have those two characters where the thought of them dating makes you sick to your stomach and the idea of them getting married turns you off completely from enjoying the media they're in? Because I do.
#sad aro shit#aromantic#romance repulsed#aros in fandom#fandom problems#I'm keeping the characters to myself so I don't accidentally poke the bear/s. the ship is by far the most popular one#but yeah the writing for them is suuuuuch an ick for me. I hate that they're canon and I miss when they were just besties#it doesn't help one of them got reduced to a lovesick idiot and the other showed like 0 interest up until midways through the 2nd movie#and it stinks because I really REALLY enjoy the franchise but it's hard to engage in the fandom when *so much* is centered around the ship#so in a way I'm kind of. falling out of love for it. and I wish I wasn't because I found so much enjoyment#and now it just feels like any other fandom where it's all about SHIP SHIP SHIP and ugh. I just. wish I didn't feel so alone in it#it also doesn't help that they namedropped the ship itself (HRRRK) and post about it alllll the time on social media
