Someone once referred to Birdflash and Spideypool (and a few other ships that I don't remember) as crackships and I was like "EXCUSE ME" because when they said they shipped crack ships I was expecting something like Batman/Sinestro or Dr Doom/MJ Watson, ya know? Something actually off the walls insane? A ship that seems like you'd need to be on crack in order to come up with? But normal, relatively popular ships where both are friends or at the very least interact in canon? Really? That's their definition of a crackship?? Really???

This feels like how people on tiktok put Gamora, Nebula, or literally any human-but-with-slight-modifications-making-them-not-human character ever on their hear-me-out lists/cake.

my perfect court (plus neil) headcanon: not a single one of them knows that dill pickles are made from cucumbers.

how pickles are made was not a part of neil’s evading the mob education.

jean has literally never thought about pickles in his life.

riko and kevin didn’t grow up watching TV and so never saw that episode of magic school bus.

andrew doesn't make fun of them for not knowing like the other foxes when they find out about this gap in knowledge. he doesn't say anything. but it's the only time he's truly looked at kevin and neil as if they were completely stupid.

Sorted the owl house fanfictions on Ao3 by word count just for the heck of it and I think Gilded has a reasonable number of words actually.

Ah the autistic experience of randomly remembering a situation from your childhood and realizing things

[byanyan]

being friends with byan is so weird bc they say they want you to have the balls to be bluntly honest with them, but then the very moment you're honest about something they don't like, they're peacing out, all "lmao ok friendship ended byeeeee"

So I respect that many people view Wednesday as a lesbian/sapphic but I've been seeing a lot of people use this to bash aro and/or ace headcannons. While hc wars are awful no matter what the context, it's honestly pretty brutal to see so many people being strictly against aro/ace wednesday in particular. aro/ace wednesday is really something people should pay attention to and understand, especially since it makes sense for her character thematically

This is a coming-of-age story. The main growth that Wednesday experiences is learning to trust, care for, and lean on others. This is an important lesson no doubt, but she does this while still retaining who she is. She's macabre, stoic, gothic, intellectual, competitive—all of these things are still a fundamental part of her even after this maturation. But with most coming-of-age stories, the lack (or blatant disgust) of romantic/sexual desire is "grown out of" in favor of romantic/sexual love. Aro/ace-ness (whether named as such or not) are constantly viewed as childish, or a moral failing—something that must be left behind in order to grow as a person. Wednesday grows so much in this first season, but she also retains the most unconventional parts of who she is. Her explicit desire in the first episode is to never marry and never have children—sure, this could change into sapphic love. But it could also remain the same, and be something she holds onto just as fiercely as her macabre nature.

Believe what you want about who wednesday is and isn't attracted to, but stop tearing down aro/ace wednesday

another thing to vent about.

not saying i agree with what the dalai lama did, but tibetans have spoken out about how the "suck my tongue" thing really was just a huge misunderstanding and is just a cultural thing and injoke even. it's actually meant to be respectful to your elders, and of course he didn't actually mean for it to be sexual.

i'm just saying, it's really sus how quick all of y'all were to turn on him. i can get the reaction, especially since it involves a child, but he's literally an elderly asian man who espouses nonviolence, speaks very broken english, and therefore won't be defending himself against what everyone is saying. among asians, he is literally the dalai lama, a tibetan man who has been persecuted practically his entire life by the chinese government. he literally hasn't lived in his hometown since 1959. that's older than some of y'alls grandparents xD moreover, the clip went viral because of chinese propagandists. and well, i suppose they succeeded.

but even despite his defenders, some of y'all are still so stubborn and narrow-minded. i can understand people who are sensitive about religious trauma, especially ex- and current catholics (sorry y'all), but literally these are pointless accusations against the dalai lama.

enjoy virtue signaling. i doubt you actually care about how that boy felt. by the way, he said in an interview that he really enjoyed meeting the dalai lama (and it's ok if he was still uncomfortable. when you see your aunties and they all want to give you kisses, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable as a little kid too? be honest ;) )

why don't you just go on with your life and do something that makes you happy instead of getting pissed about something you can't do anything about? or put that anger into something like volunteering and actually make a change instead of just posting a random comment on instagram or facebook because ohhhh, you just have to let everyone know what your shitty, uneducated opinion is about the dalai lama!

like come on. there's enough anti-asian sentiment going on already. sit down, shut the fuck up. listen.

also, again, there are numerous other cultures where kissing adults on the lips is not sexualized. go educate yourself. here, i won't even tell you to "just google it." i found you a wikipedia article. why don't you read it, hm?

sigh, i wish people would be willing to try to understand each other more instead of leaping to judge others. the world would be so much better if people would take even 10 seconds to try to understand the other person's point of view before hitting that tweet button or whatever.

also twitter sucks fuck twitter i hope elon musk drives it into the ground lmao

Hope is for the Brave

People say hope is weak; easily snuffed out. That hopeful people will become jaded; that “hopeless idealists” are a temporary state. Hope, despite its deceptively gentle nature, isn’t meant to be held like a shield, but a blade. Hope is meant to be fiercely held on to and stubbornly unsheathed like steel from its scabbard. Hope is not a fading desire; it’s the greatest tool to a fighting soul. Hope should be looked at in the places it thrives in; not the ones it fades away in. Don’t look to the hopeless dreamers that shatter like crystal when their hope turns to dust and slips through their hands, then point to hope as if hope was a broken lifeline. Do not go looking for hope in the hands of the people it doesn’t belong in. Hope belongs in the courageous, and shines in the hearts of the warriors who are strong enough to wield it. Hope is the fuel of a healthy soul; and it flourishes in the grasp of undying faith. Hope is the strength of a human who can always look to the stars, even when the darkness is clouding their eyes. Hope is for the brave.

In Quite a Similar Way

Ava Sharpe hates Sara Lance. The feeling is mutual. They're both obsessed with protecting the timeline. They're both in 1903 Yukon, on the hunt for a loose Napoleon. They're not supposed to both be there, that's a coincidence, but since neither can convince the other to leave, they're forced to work together. Aside from the January cold and incessant bickering, it's going swimmingly until the ambush. Ava gets hurt. Sara has to keep her alive while they await rescue. One more problem - they're so into each other it makes them look stupid - information you couldn't torture out of them.
