"eccentric/quirky" singlet identity flags (name is a WIP qwq)

a flag for when you relate to the experiences of plurals (namely osdd-1 or median plurals) more than singlets, but do not show any easily noticeable symptoms of plurality other than that and therefore dont wanna label yourself as plural out of respect and concerns. this identity is commonly caused by other types of dissociative disorders, and/or plural contraumia.

what the actual fuck is wrong with people

[jaegerisim]

Vent post y'all are gonna hate me for.

I viscerally hate how the Duffers treat most of their non white or queer characters and I hate even more viscerally, how y'all big byler blogs in your circle jerk of other 5 big byler blogs casually like to ignore many red flags the show has.

Y'all like to say: "tHe DufFeRs ArE gReAt WrIteRs" and it's like girl, who are you lying to??? They aren't top shit writers at all. The Duffers are pretty mid imo. Yeah, they run a good show that's fun to watch and theorize abt , but that doesn't mean they're good writers cuz they're not.

1. they completely side lined Will during s3 for the sake of their straight romances: lumax, jancy, mlvn, duzie and partly stobin (even if stobin wasn't endgame, thankfully, Steve's intentions were clearly wanting to date Robin and they gave it a lot of screen time). Will was sidelined bc he didn't fit the straight romance plotline bc they planned to make him gay or whatever. Now in s4 Will and his feelings have been used as mlvn toilet paper. Yes, we like to say this is build up for byler but canonically, Will's feelings have been used to clean the shit mlvn leaves behind.

2. Billy was sympathized a lot during the last 2 seasons. They gave him the sad backstoryTM in order for ppl to feel sorry for him. Billy's backstory is literally Jonathan's but whatever.

3. El's anger issues are constantly girlboss-ified. They down play her bullying situation and literally just use it for El to be a ''girlboss" without realizing how triggering that is. As someone who has lived bullying, seeing it be ignored by canon and fanon is super sad. The whole Rink-O' Mania experience must have been so traumatizing for her yet, everyone absolutely forgets abt it 🤷🏻‍♀️

4. Robin, Erica and Argyle are stereotypical characters. Robin is the quirky lesbian with social anxiety, Erica is the badass black woman and Argyle is the Latino stoner that sells weed to white kids and works as a pizza delivery guy.

5. Altho Argyle and Eddie both do drugs, (Eddie actually sells K-12 to a minor and nobody batted an eye. He has a huge fan base). Eddie is held in a pedestal bc "poor thing 🥺 he lives in a trailer with his uncle 🥺". Tell me a single fact you know abt Argyle that isn't "he smokes weed", "he is Jonathan's only friend", "drives a van" and "he works at a pizzeria". Exactly, Eddie is given a useless backstory and Argyle isn't.

6. Dustin stopped being important to the plot sometime around s2 and s3. He is only there to curse and be mildly funny. My guy needs to hangout with ppl his age cuz he only hangs out with seniors.

7. El needs to stop having so much "I'M THAT BITCH" screentime like I need in s5 for El's arc to not just be her becoming more powerful and falling in love with Mike. I need the Duffers to explore her trauma and problems.

8. Angela should have been run over by the van.

9. Patrick should have been given a backstory that isn't the basic "strict black parents that hit their kids cuz they are a disgrace". Patrick's backstory is actually racist af, fight w the wall.

10. As Lex already said, they didn't trigger tag the ep where Jason and his friends assault Lucas and Erica. Like wtf? Why was that necessary? Why did I have to see a black boy being held at gunpoint by some white guy?? Was it relevant to the plot?? I don't think so. And then I've got to see ppl online be like "Jason wasn't that bad. He was just mourning" like bitch you can stfu. This is what happens when you make the racist assholes conventionally attractive.

Also the fact that Lucas's arc is fulfilled by him fist-fighting Jason and "embracing his weirdness" aka accepting he is black. His arc was not fulfilled at all cuz that ending spoke so loud to me. It showed how little empathy ppl have towards the struggles poc ppl living in the Midwest have. Y'all circle jerks can only see racism when it's super obvious.

Furthermore, parents complained when ST showed "an excessive amount of smoking" yet nobody batted an eye when Billy tried to run over Lucas, when Erica (an 11 y.o ffs) was chased by white kids or when Lucas was held at gunpoint by Jason.

All of this happened while they focused on Max's guilt and mourning that, yeah, are important but certainly not less important than racism!!!

11. In s3, they gave us that whole Nancy vs The Bigots arc that was honestly just triggering and useless. It didn't help Nancy's character at all, quite the opposite it put unnecessary angst.

12. Lonnie being presented as an abuser just for him to never be spoken of again. Can we please get to explore the trauma he left the Byers's with?

13. The fact that both queer relationships are considered "sloppy seconds" is extremely sad. Both Vickie and Mike are rebounding from their failed relationship with Robin and Will. These 2 ships have caused more commotion than Jancy and Jopper together! (These last ships are technically sloppy seconds too but everybody forgets that. Shocker!!)

14. Last but not least, ppl blame Argyle for being the one to get Jonathan into smoking weed as if Jonathan probably wasn't the one looking for it. Let me tell you, that you only find weed if you look for it.

"Twst should be an Otome Game!" if Twst was an Otome game a whole bunch of the queer community would likely be excluded from the target audience, all of the characters would have Deuce's hair in different colors and a mannequin face, they'd be tropes rather than people and there'd be only 4 of them:

Deuce (the childhood friend who's now a cop or detective or whatever, who has never moved on from you since you both were 4 years old on the playground which is fucking weird if you think about it)

Azul (stoic businessman who's soft inside and treats you like you're a damsel in distress and your decisions can't be trusted)

Cater (the quirky celebrity / influencer with Golden Retriever energy)

Malleus (the sussy red flag)

You'd be having a busy day and one of the characters accuses you of trying to run away from them and asks if they have to put you back in the cage and our tags would be flooded with white cishet women from booktok who think this the pinnacle of romance. The BGM would be elevator music from Barbieland.

Grim would have to listen to Yuu going KYA! and blushing and stumbling over their words every 5 minutes, do you really want to do this to him?

Fight Club

Day 4 of @bucktommypositivityweek 1321 words Rating: teen and up Tags: Fluff, Humor, Insecure Evan Buckley (but not in a serious way), Implied Sexual Content

“It’s a fight club, Buck. The one gets the other down, the ref counts to three, K.O. What’s so hard to understand?” Eddie said, his hands sliced through the air.

“I know!” Buck shot back, but then his voice softened, “I mean, like, what’s the dress code? Is it casual? Sporty? And how do I react, like, should I be sad when someone gets knocked? Clap? Or-or, cheer? Do you guys have any chants or something? Where can I learn it?”

Eddie sighed, shot a disbelief look at him. “It’s a fight club, Buck.”

Buck groaned. “I thought you’re my best friend!”

“I am, when you’re being normal!”

"Just be yourself. Tommy will still like you no matter what," Hen said with a chuckle.

"Yeah, you could show up in torn up clothes, and Tommy would still give you those heart eyes," Chimney added with a grin.

Buck couldn’t hide his smile. He knew his cheeks would be red by now.

“Aww look at that, the love struck face is back!”

“Oh, stop it!”

There was a fight club Tommy’s friend just set up downtown, and he invited him to watch the sparring. Well not just him, actually it was four of them—him, Eddie, Chimney, and Ravi. Hen, unfortunately, chose to be with her wife instead of their weird little teenager group, as she called them.

They arrived at Buck’s loft, crammed into Tommy’s backseat, all grins and elbow jabs. Buck shook his head, thankful that the front seat had been reserved for him.

The club itself looked like a proper club, with all the equipment that got shoved to the corner, cabinets full of trophies, pictures of the fighters on the wall, and flags draped out from the ceiling. More like a martial arts gym that had somehow merged with the bar next door. The decor was a quirky mix, like they’d knocked down the wall separating them and decided to just roll with it. Was it like a gym in the day and a bar in the night situation? Buck didn’t know. Maybe he could ask Tommy about it later. It was weird, but weirdly charming. He wondered if this was like this too in Vegas.

They took the seat a bit further from the crowd but close enough to see the ring. Tommy got them some beer and took the seat next to him.

“Comfortable?” He checked, raising his voice over the loud music.

Buck smiled. “Yup. This place,” he pointed his finger around the room, “interesting.”

Tommy’s smile widened, Buck could tell it was genuine. “I know, right?” And Buck thought he could pretend to enjoy all of this as long as he got to see that smile.

They turned their attention back to the ring as the announcer’s voice boomed through the speakers, introducing the fighters. Buck watched them enter the ring, a knot stated forming in his stomach.

The fight had only gone on for eight minutes, but Buck had already winced at least twenty times. He never really understood this whole MMA thing—sure, he could appreciate the idea of muscular guys half naked, glistening with sweat—but not when they brutally beat each other like that. Every time one of the fighters got punched, Buck flinched, feeling sorry for the poor guy, while his friends were cheering like it was the Super Bowl. 

It wasn’t like the playful punches Tommy threw during their Muay Thai lessons. What those fighters did, though, seem like the ones that would really sting.

“You good?”

Buck, caught off guard, quickly tried to play it cool. “Yeah, no, totally.” He gave Tommy a rather unconvincing reassuring smile.

Tommy studied him for a while, clearly unconvinced. “Just tell me if you need anything, okay?”

Buck nodded, with a bigger smile this time. “Sure.”

Another three minutes passed and Buck really couldn’t take it anymore. The queasiness in his stomach was getting harder to ignore. Just as he was wondering how to make a graceful exit, he felt Tommy’s hand slip into his, gently tugging him away.

“Come on.”

“But the fight—”

“It’s fine,” Tommy interrupted with a warm smile. “Let’s get some air.”

They sat on the sidewalk. Buck’s breath came in heavy pants, his grip tight on the water bottle Tommy had grabbed from the chiller on their way out, Tommy’s hand, warm and steady, pleasantly rubbed his back.

“Feeling any better?” Tommy asked softly, concern thick on his face.

Buck took a deep gulp. “A lot.”

“You sure?”

“Yeah.”

But Tommy’s hand didn’t stop. And he was silently grateful for that.

“You know you can tell me if you’re not okay.”

“I know. I-I was fine... well, mostly fine.”

Tommy gave a small nod, his hand never pausing. “You didn’t like it, huh?”

Buck shook his head, a hint of a rueful smile on his face. “Sorry.”

“Don’t be. It’s okay not to like something.”

“Yeah, but... you’re my boyfriend.”

“And what does it have to do with being my boyfriend?”

Buck sighed. “You like it. I want to like the same thing you like.”

Tommy chuckled, his hand moving up to gently knead Buck’s scalp before leaning in to press a kiss to his temple. “Evan, it’s perfectly fine for us to have different interests. We’ve got plenty of time to find things we both enjoy, anyway.” Buck let out a small, contented sigh as Tommy’s hand resumed its soothing motion. “God, you’re adorable,” Tommy mumbled, more like to himself. Buck felt his cheeks warmed by that.

“But I still want to spend time with you do things you’re into,” Buck said, his voice small.

“You helped me with the kitchen last week.”

“With half of the time you put the tiles and half of the time we make out? Sure.”

Tommy chuckled. “Well that, babe,” he smirked, “is one thing I’m definitely into.”

Buck chuckled too, but still looked a bit unsettled.

“How about this,” Tommy suggested, “next time, we can go biking, hell I haven’t been on a bike in years. Or we can go hiking. Or something else. What do you think?”

Buck smiled, still the same apologetic smile but a little brighter. “That sounds amazing.”

Tommy smiled back, “it’s a plan, then.” He continue to combed his fingers through Buck’s curls, making him almost close his eyes and purr if he didn’t remember where he was. “Anything else you want to get off your chest?”

“Actually, there’s one more thing. But it’s not from my chest.” He smirked as Tommy’s confusion grew. “It’s from your chest.”

“My chest?”

Buck nodded.

“And what is that?”

“Your shirt.”

Tommy burst into laughter. “Evan, you’re going to be the death of me.”

Buck flashed a winning grin. “Let’s go home.”

“Okay, let me just call—”

“No, they can get an Uber or something. Let’s just go—me, you,” he tapped Tommy’s chest, “just us, doing things we’re both into.”

His grin grew bigger as Tommy let himself get dragged to his truck. Tommy, though, still made time to call Eddie, saying ‘sorry we have to head home first, Evan’s not feeling well.’

Buck scoffed. Well, in his boyfriend’s defense, that was not entirely a lie.

When Buck arrived for work the next afternoon, his friends were in the middle of telling the entire firehouse about how the fight went last night; how the winner fought really hard, how they wrestled for a whole seven minutes before one of them gave up, how it was Buck’s loss for missing it out.

Buck just shrugged. “Well, me and Tommy kind of having our own wrestling too last ni—”

Which earned him various responses like ‘didn’t know not feeling well is a code for horny’, ‘that’s too much information, Buck!’, ‘shut up’, ‘oh my God, my ears’ and ‘booooo’ all at once.

The "Your shirt" part was stolen from 9-1-1: Lone Star. Thank you TK for letting me borrow your line!😁

[cantcompetewhereudontcompare]

This got long so for the sake of the tags I'm adding, to not clog people's timelines in case they happen upon it, I'm adding a cut off. But this message is diabolically wrong, and I'm here to prove it word for word.

1- I haven't talked about morals in terms of Louis, and all I said about Zayn is that he's a domestic abuser. You sure are very sensitive about someone just repeating facts, huh?

2- Real people can't queerbait. Wearing quirky clothes wouldn't even qualify as queerbaiting anyway. This argument against him got stale in 2020. Keep up.

3- He hasn't said a single thing in support of Israel's government. All he said, 10+ years ago, mind you, was that he wanted to perform there. That's raging zionism to you? Are we not in the year 2024 seeing the damage and destruction of Israel in real time? And what actual raging zionists condone and how they behave?

And what if I told you that Harry was courted by Israel to perform there for Love On Tour, by literal Israeli politicians like Idan Roll, mind you, and Live Nation Israel was DESPERATE to get him to perform there, offering him millions and he flat out refused. Because he said in 2013 that he wanted to perform there but it is now 2024, he has toured the world as a solo act twice now, in very lengthy tours, and he has yet to perform there. And his last tour ended months before October 7th too. So the single thing he has said that could be interpreted as supporting Israel (Israel fans, mind you, not their government or their actions) 11 years ago didn't even end up happening when he was offered millions.

The tweet supporting Israel is debunked. This is the only screenshot of it that exists, and it was fabricated by the same person that fabricated this, the same exact day:

Unless you want to believe that both of them tweeted the same exact thing on the same day and somehow not one single screenshot exists? Not a single article by western media?

The picture of him holding the Israeli flag is him actually holding the Spanish flag:

"He did a power fist when a reporter at a press conference said she was from Israel" he did that with like, every reporter:

When he "signed an Israel flag" it was for a dying fan who got to the 1D concert through Make A Wish. "Zayn refused" no it was after March 2015, so he wasn't in the band anymore. I guess he shouldn't sign a flag if a fan who has cancer and is dying asks him to?

"He followed a zionist journalist" no, he didn't. He followed Lliana Bird, the co-founder of Choose Love, formerly known as "Help Refugees"

Which is an organization that has raised $2 million for Gaza

and has been calling for a ceasefire, consistently, since last year. Like, here:

"Oh but she wrote a zionist article" except she didn't, she bothsided things like hell, for sure, but she was incredibly kumbaya about the whole thing (like I presume Harry and his friends are, because they're libs at the end of the day). This is the article, from 2014, btw. Here's an excerpt:

Do I personally agree with it? No fucking chance, but this is what most pro-Palestinian people will agree with lmfao. Like, it's an incredibly radical position that you can only find being massively supported online to be fully pro Palestinian and understand that while you can't condone extreme acts done on civilians by Hamas, at some point radicalization is impossible to avoid and a logical conclusion of the heartbreak and pain Palestinian people have been subjected to for decades. Like, it's NOT a popular opinion. Lliana IS the mainstream opinion for pro Palestinian people. And this was her opinion 10 years ago, considering her organization is fully supportive of Palestine (and Lebanon) now, I presume she has inched more towards the "other side" than in the past.

And Harry supports her organization!!

He has for several years now:

Like, this was for his first solo tour:

"But he raised a hammer" he grabbed a toy from the audience and waved it around, like he does with multiple things at almost every single show. Maybe he saw the Israel flag, maybe he didn't, going from that to "oh he supports the slaughtering of children" is fucking ridiculous and no one outside of stan twitter would even entertain shit like that. Once again, that was 10 years ago.

He was 20, and he probably had as much information on the war between Israel and Palestine as the average person: ie, almost nothing. It wasn't until recently that we started getting more information from social media that people learned of what truly was happening and had been happening for 75 years. Mainstream media is STILL lying about it, hiding facts, to our faces, even though it slips through the cracks thanks to social media.

People didn't massively support Palestine or even know about what was happening until AFTER October 7. A lot of people still don't know!!

"He could've educated himself" sure. And we all should educate ourselves on this sort of thing. I still have a lot of blind spots about a lot of terrible situations happening all around the world, and I'd like to believe I'm fairly radicalized and informed. That does not make someone a genocide supporter. Get your head out of your ass.

"But he dropped a Palestinian flag" no, first of all it was a scarf with a tiny Palestinian flag on it. The idea that he managed to see it in a split second with literally no lights whatsoever is laughable. You think this man is superhuman. The amount of times he has grabbed and dropped things quickly is astronomical. You know why? For this very reason. To avoid controversy if he happens to be thrown something unsavory. He doesn't grab things he can't recognize, as much as he checks things before waving them (ever since he was tricked into waving a flag with a Larry message on it, back in 2015). There's so many videos of him doing the exact same thing with multiple stuff, just watch him interact at any given show.

The only other argument for his supposed "zionism" is that zionists have spread rumors of him supporting them, like a fan claiming that he saw her from across an arena holding an Israel flag and idk waved at her? Or a comedian claiming he said he wanted to go to Israel in like, 2017 (why hasn't he gone then? lol he's saying he wants to go to random people but he doesn't just go? when begged by their own politicians to go? How does it work?) It's just zionists doing typical hasbara, where they act like everyone supports them. The ridiculousness of him specifically seeing this fan (who had to use someone else's video in which it just looks like he just waves in the general direction she was in) and waving at her because of her Israel flag, which was covered by the people in front of her, mind you, shouldn't even have to be explained, but alas.

They do this with lots of celebs. It's typical for them. And most of the time it isn't real. Israeli fans were celebrating that Harry was finally going to Israel last year because Live Nation Israel was desperate to secure the deal and spreading it all over the internet in Hebrew, only for him to decline (and he flat out declined and said he was never gonna perform there, btw, I know this for a fact, but can't exactly divulge how I know, the fact that he... well, didn't, should be enough, I suppose).

Do I wish he would speak up? Absolutely. Do I think he's a terrible person for not speaking up? No. He's just a white lib.

4- His friends are not him. He's friends with people who are morally questionable, like literally most people on planet earth who have friends. I would personally disavow people who are pro Israel, no matter how little or big their support is, because I'm informed on the subject and care a lot about it. I don't actually talk to my irl friends about this, tho. It's not exactly a subject that comes up unless you're prone to discussing politics, and a lot of people aren't, and I respect that. So I could very well be friends with people who ignorantly (or assholently) support Israel, without me knowing. I don't expect that Harry is as informed on the subject as me, and least of all, that he's sitting down with Ben Winston and having heated debates about the Israel Palestine situation.

Ben Winston took Harry in when he was 18, alone in London and away from his family. He was a friend when he wasn't even famous. He and his wife supported him and gave him the consistency he yearned for in crucial years of his life. I despise the man, but Harry is never gonna drop him.

It's an immensely privileged situation, for sure, but that is reality for most celebrities, especially white male celebrities. And truth of the matter is that 99.99% of celebrities have zionists in their circles, because it's incredibly prevalent in positions of power in America (it's by design, and no it's not because they're Jewish, most zionists in America are actually evangelical. It's for the same reason scientology is so prevalent in Hollywood. It's a very large discussion that we can have some other day). I don't personally condone it but to act like it somehow translates into their own personal beliefs is absurd.

If Harry had expressed an ounce of sympathy for the government of Israel, or chosen to perform there despite everything, or signed a pro Israel petition, or literally any other form of support for Israel, then MAYBE I could entertain this criticism. But what he's guilty of:

Playing with a toy with the Israel flag in 2014, like he played with a bunch of other toys with flags of a lot of other countries, including American flags (and boy, we need to have that argument at some point)

Saying he'd love to perform in Israel in 2013, and then never performing there even though he was offered millions and begged to do so

???? existing in Hollywood?

Stan twitter has been trying to twist itself into knots into him being a zionist ever since he became massively successful as a solo act. Literally grabbing randomly photoshopped tweets and pictures, twisting him following Lliana, photoshopping an Israel flag onto a picture of him, twisting him signing a flag for a fucking DYING FAN. Like, man, if you have to do allat then maybe he just ain't a zionist?

And lastly about the subject, his family (mon and sister) and plenty of his very close friends (like Molly and Tomo) have been calling for a ceasefire and being openly pro Palestine on socials ever since last year. But of course, Ben Winston being a dick overwrites all of them, right?

5- There's no indication that Harry has ever cheated on anyone. It's possible he did, but not a single one of his exes has claimed so. Taylor openly admitted that while he was hooking up with other people so was she, and she repeatedly said that they were friends, even right after they broke up. Going to LENGTHS about it too, btw

Camille has been supportive os him even years after breaking up. Like, this is her interaction on a photo of him performing a song he wrote about her at the Grammys, after he won a fucking Grammy for it. She seems really cut up about it...

Do I need to mention Kendall?

Or Olivia?

His exes have literally NOTHING but good things to say about him. All of them!!! No exceptions. Even Caroline Flack, who he briefly dated (ew) when he was 17 had nothing but positivity to say about him. Even girls like Georgia Fowler, who he was seen with once, were positive about him years later.

I fear you're alone on this "cheating" thing. If he did, we don't know, and his exes don't seem to gaf, so why do you?

6- Homewrecker is such a ridiculous thing to say. You can't wreck a home as an outsider. He's never been married and he doesn't have children, so he couldn't have wrecked any homes. If you mean Olivia Wilde, chances are she did cheat on her ex with him, but where exactly do you get that Harry knew?

Mind you, Olivia's nanny came out with a tell all about the cheating, with text messages to boot, and she herself said Harry had no idea. This is from the "tell all" article:

It's likely Harry ended things with Olivia because of this article, finding out that she had lied to him lmfao. So how exactly was he a homewrecker? If he didn't know and was actively lied to by his girlfriend for two years, and ended things after he found out? (Mind you, look up the dates for this article, for the canceled Chicago show, for Olivia showing up in Chicago out of nowhere, then leaving, for his mom and sister showing up in Chicago out of nowhere, how many times they were seen together and what their faces looked like after the article, etc).

Unless you mean when he was groomed by 32 year old Lucy Horobin when he was 17, who also lied to a 20 year old member of another boyband, back in 2011, who explicitly said he didn't know Lucy was married lol

So, are you calling a 17 year old being groomed by a 32 year old married woman, who likely lied to him, "a home wrecker"?

Don't bother replying because you're blocked. But thank you for the list of things to debunk. And have a taste of Zayn being a cheater and a home wrecker (his own home! btw!)

Like this, when he was engaged to Perrie Edwards and was completely unapologetic about it, until he was caught. Then went on to twitter to say it wasn't what it looked like, but the girl has explicitly said that it definitely was lol (she went to a reality show later that year)

Or what about this?

When the whole Cristabel Riley thing happened, remember? Harry was involved too. But he was an 18 year old single boy, seeking consensual sex with girls who were of age and weren't even fans, but groupies. Zayn? Zayn was with Perrie (they'd been dating since early 2012, this happened over the summer of that year while they were touring America)

Remember when he was caught over Skype with the Riach brothers, talking to girls? They were in a hotel in New York after 1D's MSG show. The MSG show Perrie attended.

The article and the video about it have suspiciously been deleted off the internet, but here are the old links to the article and the video

But here's a post about it on a pop culture forum (it does not pre-date Perrie, as I said, this was late 2012 in New York while 1D was performing at MSG. Perrie literally attended the show).

Here's a Ziam blog (lmfao) talking about the timing going by the hotel in the background, just in case. It's pretty irefutable.

There's that infamous video that I can't find now, taken from a peephole, where Zayn sneaks a girl into a hotel room, and you can see it clearly. Also dating Perrie. The other phone call that was recorded, also dating Perrie. The groupies who have posted pictures from his house on their public social media as he was dating both Gigi and Perrie, which I won't link out of an abundance of caution (does the name Christina ring a bell?)

There's this with TOWIE's Abigail Clarke while he was with Gigi

There's Gigi filing a harassment report and Perrie being very open about her issues with him.

I don't give a fuck if he fucks every single woman in Pennsylvania. More power to him. There's nothing wrong with sex, but to have his fans (because you are his fan) come here and call someone else a cheater and a homewrecker is certainly ironic.

Zayn has cheated on every partner he's ever had multiple times. It is heavily documented and one of his exes has made it extremely clear. So I would look inwards if I were you.

Celebrities are problematic just like the rest of us. Nobody is perfect or has perfect friends. I strongly disagree with pointing out moral issues with celebrities to justify not liking them. I actively encourage people to embrace their inner hater without feeling the need to find morality issues for it. Just hate for the sake of hating otherwise you'll be a hypocrite.

But there are lines that you shouldn't cross. Violence, particularly violence against women and children. Sexual misconduct. Those things I don't play about (and nobody should) and I WILL call them out. So Zayn and Liam are fair game for me to bring up their moral issues. I don't dislike them because of them. Trust me I disliked them way before, and I don't need a reason for it, but I sure as hell will call them out on that as well.

I dislike Louis as well, but I'm not gonna make his dubious morality a focal point of this blog because he's a flawed human being like the rest of us. He has not had any accusations of violence or assault or sexual misconduct, so I don't feel the need to question his morality.

I'll talk about his homophobia not because I want to "cancel him" but because he has built his fanbase around a conspiracy theory that hinges on him being gay and oppressed because of it. Don't get it twisted. I'm here to expose his fanbase first and foremost, and that sadly for him, will decant on exposing him. Because that's the only way there is.

What he does with his life is none of my business otherwise, as long as it doesn't cross that very obvious line (and so far it hasn't)|

violence? WOOO!! lifesteal.

so, you heard about a silly little server called lifesteal. maybe u wanna try watching it. well what if i told u that we here at lifestealblr have put together a helpful guide to help you succumb to the poisons start watching the server?? join us we are very normal

so! lifesteal! first, a summary. lifesteal is a server where when u die, you lose a heart off your permanent health bar. when you kill another player you gain a heart. heres a list to sum it up:

dying loses you a heart

killing someone else gains you a heart

losing all your hearts = dead and gone from the series, unless youre revived

you can revive dead players through gay sex crafting a special item

you can withdraw hearts from your healthbar and give them to other players

still have questions? heres a better explanation. ok moving on

lifesteal smp has FOUR seperate seasons so far!! the players are the same, give or take a few people. so, where to start?

first, you don't need to watch the seasons in order. you don't need to know anything about previous seasons to watch lifesteal. start with whatever season you want!! that being said, i'd advise starting on season three or season four (the current season) as they are the most popular.

anyways, if you want to just start watching: here is the link to the playlist containing every lifesteal video on youtube, seasons 1-4 here is the link to the playlist containing every season 3 lifesteal video here is the link to the playlist containing every season 4 lifesteal video

[thank you to @a4g and @aroaceacacia for creating and maintaining the lifesteal s1-4 & lifesteal s3 and the lifesteal s4 playlists, respectively]

HOWEVER

if you'd like to start out slow, pick one lifestealer and start watching them!! honestly, the best way to get into it is just to find a guy (or ten) that you like watching and watch their videos!

a note- i am tagging the user who created each propaganda post so that if people change their urls, you will still be able to find the post. theyre definitely NOT the lifestealers themselves lol. also, some of these are not finished! however this has been sitting in my drafts for six months and i need to post it for my own mental health

i should make this a google docs actually. might do that sometime if i get motivation. but anyways, without further ado:

my undertale act structure analysis post is getting traction all of a sudden and ppl in the tags have all sorts of ideas about what Specific Gamer Behavior undertale’s narrative is condemning and like that is the most lame way to interpret that narrative. if the emotional and thematic core of undertale revolved specifically around some gamer bros who really ground toby fox’s gears it would be a shitty story. if i were to pick A Condemnation or at least a concern undertale expresses it would be entitlement surrounding art and rapid consumption of it. it offers you its story, its compelling world and characters, its happy ending and then it’s done. at least internally, it doesn’t really guide you to anything but true pacifist. a no mercy run is not something flowey eggs you on to do at the end of neutral runs, it’s not an encouraged mode of play in “The RPG where no one has to die!” the entire no mercy run is about how it is your active, conscious decision to have gone out of your way to do harm, even when it is actively more tedious and difficult than any other option. if you engage with its narrative exclusivey through the lens of it being a meta spin video game tropes and mechanics and nothing more, then yeah, it does look like the thesis statement is “completionism is immoral” but i think an extremely critical thing that people miss is that no mercy is not an encouraged mode of play. there is an entire discussion around how implementation functionally is encouragement, “if it’s in the game on purpose, the developer didn’t put it there to keep it out of players’ hands.” but again observing through the lens of narrative and not activity (or activity as a means to communicate narrative) the implication is that feverish unconditional consumption of media is destructive. the player is literally given the agency to suck the life and joy out of a game about quirky characters and big cheesy emotions because that’s what happens when you are dead set on seeing as much as possible instead of appreciating what’s there. althought undertales [FIGHT] and [MERCY] buttons are functionally similar to a dialogue option to be nice or an asshole, undertale’s no mercy differentiates itself from other games’ “evil” routes because it actively discourages engaging with the evil option on a mechanical level. you have to tediously grind away literally every enemy through a small habdful of encounter configurations in every area and the game denies you as much of itself as it can at every turn, long stretches of tedious grinding interrupted by deliberately ludicrous difficulty spikes, trying to act as roadblocks so utterly insurmountable that you just quit. if you do succeed, your reward is a copy-tainting flag that makes a point of ruining your good endings if you every try for them again. it is an actively discouraged mode of play on every level above implementation. you are not supposed to play this way, and the only reason you would (and again this is from like the gameworld’s internal moral perspective, enjoying a challenge or wanting to experience an aspect of the narrative yourself is a perfectly valid reason to want to do it) is if you wanted to exhaust something you enjoyed of every last drop of stimulation it could offer. undertale is a game packed with secrets and even with direct messages to data miners. it was aware from minute one that it was going to be gutted and picked apart and given a million cover to cover skimmings across the world because that’s just what happens to art in the information age. i think it definitely does actively encourage paratextual engagement, everything to do with FUN values and gaster are absurdly rare random chance events that try to foster discussions about mysteries only witnessed by a precious few players, but i think it does resent that to some extent it cant truly have any real mysteries. so quickly was every code cracked and every secret shared to millions, because that’s just what people do to things they love, they shatter them into pieces so they can put them back together a thousand times.

Weiss:…Really, Yang? Really? Ruby: Sis, this is not the time or place! Blake: Just because you can, does not mean you should! Yang: Hey, if it works! Right guys? (Waves at the villains they’re supposed to be fighting). Hazel: I’m asexual, the only thing I’m passionate about is vengeance against OZZZZPINNNN! (Everyone jumps back) Hazel: But he’s not here right now. Tyrian:  My only interest is defending the beauty of our Goddess! Watts: I’m Sapiosexual. Mercury: Meaning? Emerald: Oh I know this one! It means he’s only sexually attracted to people based on intelligence. Tyrian: So her majesty then. Watts: Wait what? Tyrian: Are you saying that our Queen is not a glorious and brilliant ruler?! Watts: No wait, she certainly is, I would never acknowledge Her Grace as anything less! Tyrian: So you do have an attraction to her Majesty! Watts: So do you! Tyrian:  At least I’m not hiding it. Emerald:  Can we focus? Watts: Yes, Cinder fan-girl, do stop. Emerald: Wait, what are you saying? Mercury: He’s saying you’re into Cinder the same way Stabby Tail is into Cinder’s boss. Emerald: You wanna go, Dildo-legs? Hazel: ENOUGH! (Quirky Mini-Boss squad stops comedic bickering to listen to the serious guy) Hazel: In case you forgot, our targets are…wait, where they’d go? BEEP (X5) Watts: Oh Dear. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Mercury lowers his hand. Salem: Now I’d like to know just how it was possible for all of you to fail like this? Not even Haven was like this. Hazel takes a breath. Salem:  Hazel Rainart, I hope for your sake you do not plan to do another “Take one for the team” attempt that tries to cover up for what the team did. Or do you enjoy being bound up by my tentacles? Hazel, stops, considers…Then takes an even deeper breath. Mercury: It was Boobs. (Ackward silence.) Salem: Excuse me? Mercury: You know how Team RWBY gained that transforming ability? Salem: That leaves them wide open for you to kick-shoot them up in the face? Mercury: Blondie’s shout-phrase was “Big titties” Salem: And? Mercury: That started a conversation that- (Crippled Psychopathic Assassin shut up by fancy pistol from Jock-Nerd and Mecha-Tail from Psycho Fan-Boi covering his mouth) Tyrian: Let’s not sweat the small stuff. Watts: Basically we were distracted. Salem: By boobs? Seriously?  My greatest operatives….distracted by a woman’s chest? And what happened next may I ask? Hazel:  They took advantage of our distraction to throw explosives and explosive dust rounds around, and brought the warehouse down on us. Angry Boss “Lady?”:….. Evil minions who need focus on hormones 2nd, mission priorities first:…. Salem waves her hand and the door opens… Multiple tentacled grimm appear. Salem: Now I am not a therapist or a counselor, but we have got to work on your hormones before I send you any missions….this will be your price for failure.

I honestly find it almost... surprising? How easily the fandom loses engagement with most of the IDW OCs. I only frequent the IDW Sonic tag and thus I definitely don't get a full overview of everything the whole of Tumblr contains, but posts with Belle in them seem to have almost completely disappeared off the face of the website. The same with Surge and Kit: there was a huge surge (heh) of fanart & posts around them when Imposter Syndrome was getting released and when they were in the main comics, but now there is just so much less of it. Same with the Diamond Cutters when they first were revealed, Mimic, a little bit of Nite and Don (because they were so minor but still, not a peep about those two anymore), and probably tons of OCs I'm completely forgetting about (because let's be real, they can definitely be not very remarkable). The moment they haven't been in a new or recent issue, tons of people from their fandom seem to forget about them completely. I quite wonder if the same if the same is going to happen if/when Lanolin gets directed to the background again.

It's because their so much more one-dimensional and thus far more boring compared to the game characters. Belle, as you mentioned, is especially so because she's tied to a plot point that overstayed it's welcome from being dragged on and on and because writers think that using speech quirks relating to her nature is interesting and quirky when it isn't.

I recall saying this, something along these lines in a previous reply to an ask;

Sonic Team: "Sonic is a bold and somehwhat arrogant explorer but he's very kind and hates injustice! He lives a life of adventure but likes to read books during the rainy season! He isn't a daydreamer, understands multiple languages because he speaks with his heart and grieves but in private. He enjoys chili dogs. He can change form via energy absorption and most of his abilities stem directly from his speed yet have huge variety!" "Tails is humble but is a gifted mechanical genius. He wants to prove his worth to Sonic even though Sonic always acknowledges it. He adores mint candy! He has a habit of stating the obvious and blowing plans by talking too much. He can use his two tails not just to fly but to boost his speed whilst running. He's a brilliant pilot too."

Ian Flynn/Evan Stanley/Other IDW staff: "Starline gay! Mimic gay! Who-gives-a-shit the Owl and Nobody the Rooster gay! Whisper and Tangle gay! *Shoves it in your face with a lesbian flag background in a panel*. Silver is a perpetually, round-eyed happy boi in complete contrast to how he's actually portrayed in the games. Lanolin is the second coming of Sally. Look how evil Clutch and Mimic are with their EVIIILLL eyes! Sonic is a raging hypocritical gaslighting douchebag completely, utterly incompatible with his game incarnation. Unfitting song lyrics as actual dialogue."

HI OMG, it’s been ages since I’ve seen you on my dash! How are you?

Lmao as soon as I saw that Captain America bauble I was like Minnie you have to get it, then I read the tags and you did!! It’s so cute, I don’t celebrate Christmas but I’m so tempted to buy it for the sake of it!!

Hello there! Oh huh, that's interesting because I've been posting every day 😅 Unless you don't follow me lol, in that case it's nice to know me popping up on your dash made you excited! 🥰

And yesss, I did get him, couldn't leave him behind! The funny thing is that I'd told my friend "I just need to find one quirky bauble to put on my tree" and then suddenly she was like "MINNIE", and it was Cap! He's got a place of honour on my tree now 🫶🏻 See if you can spot him, he's pretty stealthy for a guy dressed in the American flag with a giant dinner plate in his hand 😌 Sending love your way, anon!

8 shows to get to know me better

@bookshelfdreams tagged me.  I watch a ton of shows, so narrowing it down to eight was a little tricky, but I had fun.

Hannibal: cooking, art, unhealthy gay romance.  Need I say more?

Great British Bake Off: yeah, the recent seasons have been weak, but at its core its a warm, fuzzy. heartfelt cooking show.  So, when it lets me down I get a little emotional and ragey.

Batman The Animated Series: this made my childhood.  I fucking loved that there was  a kids show that was not just physically dark, but emotionally dark too.

The Expanse: I love good sci-fi.  This is great sci-fi.

Fullmetal Alchemist: both series were great in their own ways, but my love of it has a lot to do with me really being able to understand Ed.  My dad pretty much walked out on the family when I was barely older than a baby, and then my mom died when I was young.  I would have done fucking everything in my power to bring her back.  Anything.

Our Flag Means Death: I fucking love this quirky little comedy, which says something as I’m not normally a comedy fan

Gundam Wing: So this show, when I tried to rewatch it as an adult, was terrible.  But it came out at just the right time when I was in high school and hit just the right notes for silly teenage me to fucking love it.  And by love it I mean it got me started reading and writing fanfiction with a passion.  Without this show I wouldn’t be here, probably never would have taken Japanese classes, never would have gotten a minor in Japanese, and never moved to Japan.  The show, looking back, is dumb.  But it really meant something to me.

Planetes: this show is beyond great sci-fi, it’s believable and understandable.  I fucking love it.  And I want cream puffs made in low grav so bad it almost hurts at times.

tagging for fun @yarnings @roboticchibitan @orchardknit @once-a-polecat @iplaywithstring @knottybliss and anyone else who wants to play!
