#please have some compassion

It is impossible to feel pride while riding the bus but this is a new low for me.

It’s crazy how all the hatred for Colin can be boiled down to, “he’s not toxic enough”.

[victorfrankensteinapologist]

actually, with frankenstein weekly starting i think it is really important to say that you cannot go into this book under the notion of either victor or their creation being "the monster", that only one of them is wrong, etc etc. both characters are very complicated, sick, hurt, and scared people reacting realistically to their own feelings, and choosing to name either of them a horrible monster does a huge disservice to both characters, ESPECIALLY if you lift up the other as some angel.

it would do a world of good to open your heart to have compassion for both the creation and his creator, because you're not going to be able to appreciate the book fully otherwise!!!

I feel fandom would get along a lot better if there was mutual understanding that liking a character, agreeing with a character, and thinking the character is well constructed/executed are all separate (if often overlapping) positions, each with their separate tastes and subjectivities. Also: character portrayals are intended to make the audience feel things; this is separate from (if often overlapping with) analyzing/appreciating their actions and role in the story.

I'm not part of the good omens fandom like I enjoy the show but not to the extent that I feel the need to make fan content for it or go seeking out fan content which is frustrating rn because I don't know if the they're aware of the song Angel by first aid kit and I really hope they are

it’s funny how things have gone full circle with malenia. she was so hated when the game first came out, but then people grew to like her. then the dlc came out and now people hate her again lmao

my professor has an extremely strict policy when it comes to attendance (we are in college which immediately makes that statement bullshit) and i'm sick rn so obviously i don't want to go because i'm in pain and because i run the risk of infecting my classmates but there are no exceptions for makeup work and i've got 2 quizzes to take today and if i miss them my entire grade will go down the drain except i don't really understand the concepts anyways so i'll probably fail the class no matter what but anyways i asked her hey can i just pop in to take the quizzes, then go home and miss the lecture? i will research and learn all of the material that you cover in the three hours of lecture time i'll miss tonight. and she's not answering. and class is in 4 hours.

it’s easy to poke fun at the most patently ridiculous dean-biased takes but you guys should see some of the bone-chilling meta I’ve read. so many ppl on this website are viciously unsympathetic to sam it makes me want to tear my hair out if I dwell on it

[ming-sik]

honestly it's just frustrating. you have people finding misogynistic cishet dudes and defending their emotional neglect of their sexual partners because it superficially resembles aromanticism even when the men themselves do not identify as aromantic and are often neglecting their sexual partners specifically because they view a girlfriend as the only type of woman who deserves any type of effort and so if the chick they're fucking isn't their girlfriend they can treat her like dirt. and then when people are rightly like "hey fuck you for defending a misogynist" the same people who claimed the cishet guy who never at any point claimed to be aromantic was aromantic and therefore criticizing his misogyny is arophobia go into the aro tags to despair at how many people HATE aromantics so they can whip a bunch of bystanders into a frenzy because they've heard that people are discrediting aromanticism, and therefore are encouraged to read the original unrelated posts or people getting pissed at someone defending emotional abuse by calling it aromanticism in bad faith or not at all, and so you get a mountain of people theorizing that the attack on cishet aro men was manufactured by TERFs instead of people who think that girls who date guys deserve dudes who don't see them as a freelance contractor they can expect sex from without having to treat them with the bare minimum respect they feel a girlfriend is owed.

tag the fucking epilogue spoilers or i'm gonna come to your fucking house and kill you with my bare hands

[sesamestreep]

fuck I can’t believe I have to say this but you know it’s not stupid or even immoral to have hope even when things are objectively bad right?? you do know that finding fault in literally everything and never permitting yourself to ever relax or be positive or hope for the best is ACTIVELY BAD FOR YOUR PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH, RIGHT?? PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME YOU KNOW THIS!!!

Ichigo being a stay at home dad who works online is so in character for him actually…… he’s the type of dad to enforce 1 hour of no screen time outside playing in the yard and/or playground. He texts Orihime goofy pictures of Kazui jumping around in some water fixture in the local park and carries him home soaked to the bone and shivering with the biggest smile on his face and then they eat ice cream and wait for Orihime to get home so they can have family game night.
