the way you're watching a video of two women talking about interior design, and the way they judge some spaces seems kind of judgemental to you, but it's all in good fun, right?
Only for them to show a picture of the home of one of the women- and she cannot even hang up her pictures on the wall and made midcentury look like High End IKEA via the vice of minimalism and cowardice in regard to colour and décor- which would explain why she couldn't hang up her picture, if she's so afraid to make a fucking statement.
#not to be a hater but COME ON#i hate unhung pictures /so much/#it's my absolute worst pet peeve it looks so unfinished and lacks commitment#like if you like in a flat where you cant put holes in the wall for some reason just stick it on#there's powerful adhesives and white paint and lil tubes of plaster in case the picture takes some paint with it after being unhung#but honestly#and the nerve to then complain about /boho chic/ of all things#like is it my fave?#NO#but i can appreciate that it wants to give a cozy vibe and it's a fun aesthetic!#god i should've known this was the wrong video for me when that cursed woman pointed out the /basic white tv stand/#as the one thing she enjoyed in one such boho chic house#like give me a break#when will well-off white women that clearly come from some sort of wealth and assume everyone should just Buy Real Persian Rugs stop#esp like- where i live i can easily get an og persian rug for even under 100 bucks if you're lucky#but im living in europe and these women are in the us#where (judging by the comments) you are way less likely to be so lucky!#so yeah the privilege is on show#alongside the bad taste#god im so peeved by this#okay i will rest now#and stop ranting abt random youtubers#thank you and good bye

Ohhhhhhhh shiv’s face when she realized that she’s going to be cut out of the boy’s club AGAIN and this time with a baby she can’t even talk about with her husband without risking being seen as soft … Kerry being humiliated by Marcia and the rest of the family… shiv falling down in front of a room of snickering men… gerri being thrown out as easily as garbage… connor’s mom being talked about less like a human being and more as fodder for a pr campaign…
#like yeah this show is about the horrors of the top 1% destroying and reforging our moral and ethical codes#but more than that it’s also a story about women#the women of this show are shown time and time again to be disposable#it’s so ingrained and systemic#no amount of privilege and whiteness will ever save you from being a woman!!#misogyny predates white supremacy!! you will never escape it!!#GOD this show is good#my god I hate how much I love it#I was just sitting there the whole time biting my nails I was so anxious#succession#succession s4#succession spoilers

Dead Boy Detectives being canceled is still one of the Top 10 Worst Feelings I Have Ever Had, but hey. Could be worse. Guess it could have been canceled on a cliffhanger with the obvious Set(TM) on different planes of existence, not speaking to each other after a desperate kiss
#a lot of really bad things have happened to me i promise#it's not that boohoo a tv show is the worst thing ever check my privilege#but dbda being canceled opened up all those deep ol' wounds#so yeah#dead boy detectives#good omens

homest[ar/uck] posting. this was meant to be supplementary to the gerome comic as him 'explaining the joke' but i uhhhhhh forgot.
i'm not much for crossovers in the the traditional sense, but it IS one of my favorite character exploration exercises to just go like 'if x media existed in this universe, who would and would not be a fan of it?'. and these ones are pretty notorious and always very fun to mess with for that and so here we are
#technically evangelion too but i couldnt think of anything intersting for eva with these guys#pizza tower#fake peppino#noisette#gerome#peppino spaghetti#these guys will just show him things and then he brings it home to peppino and hes gotta deal with all that#the simple fact is if you watch homestarunner at an impressionable age it WILL fuck up your lexicon permanently#and i think fp is the sort that is just kind of eternally impressionable. so#gerome is the only one of the cast whos into hsr he quotes it Constantly but no one knows hes referencing things#they think hes just saying shit. he knows this. he thinks it's funny. secret references for only him#but yeah that opening line was meant as an actual in-universe reference to hsr. when he says 'an old joke' it's literal jsjkskjdkjfd#idk what time pt takes place but hsr is perpetually yesteryear to me. that shit is so 2008 you really had to grow up with it i think#as for the other one. everybody i think at least knows OF mspa bc noisette talks about it All The Time#but the rest either dont get it or dont care. anyway its her right to be obnoxious about it. her privilege‚ even.#noise hates it though. hes so sick of hearing about it. if you mention a classpect hes gonna stab you#this is the only thing i have where the three besties are even close to interacting thats so sad.i need them being funny in a room together#pizzaposting#off-art

the way under the bridge has becca see herself in the teens of seven oaks, particularly josephine and warren, when in actuality she has much more in common with kelly (background-wise, at least), coupled with her anti-police beliefs vs cam being a first nations cop + the historical & institutional baggage that carries, is so interesting to me. not fully sure how to articulate this yet but the show is putting forth a specific form of (anti-institution yet still benefiting from/privileged ?) whiteness i don't think i've ever seen in media and is really a testament to the thought that the writers have put into in creating becca and cam's characters and the larger paradigms they're meant to portray
#more observation than actual commentary on the show but yeah it's so clear the writers took a lot of care in creating these characters#i don't think it fully clicked for me until the most recent ep / the fight scene but mannn what a nuanced portrayal of privilege and crime#under the bridge#cam bentland#rebecca godfrey#meta

Headcanon:Danny Rand sometimes forgets he is a billionaire
#yeah I know that tv show actually shows that Danny sometimes do fancy things like delivery from super wealthy restaurants#but he lived more with monks and was an outsider so he wasn't privileged till he became iron fist and then he was standing near the gates#and he has like two(2) wealthy friends who just happened to be his childhood friends#all of his friends are just usual people#danny:LUKE! We need to open agency for hiring superheroes!#Luke:Why? You're a literally billionaire#danny:oh right....but ✨bonding experience ✨#danny:avengers have cool tower! I want to have cool base for defenders too:(#jessica: bitch you're billionaire just buy one#danny:this company has an extremely important artifact so I will sneak up to their ...#ward:JUST BUY IT! YOU ARE RICH FOR CHRIST SAKE#marvel#danny rand#iron fist#defenders#jessica jones#luke cage#ward meachum#marvel mcu

Hey who wants to play Poverty Simulator from my roommate's social work classes
It's great. It's miserable. It's a little unrealistic because grocery prices have skyrocketed.
#daily life with mercy#sometimes I'm allowed to be really really angry at having to make some of these decisions#like in my own life#like yeah actually it is kinda fucked up that I've had to put so many of my own pets down because we couldn't afford the vet#and the animal shelters were so neglected/overcrowded that taking them there was unimaginably cruel#it's EXTRA fucked up that comfortable and privileged motherfuckers try to tell me that I shouldn't have had animals in the first place#No shit sherlock#I didn't fucking WANT them#They just showed up!!! Because we were poor and there were feral dogs and cats wandering around!!!!#and sometimes you think “I can afford to give it a slightly better life”#and then the kindest thing you can do it kill it in a way that it's not suffering in a strange place before someone ELSE kills it!#YOU decide between rent or a vet bill! Or your kid! Or yourself!#JILL I PROMMY THESE TAGS ARE NOT VAGUEPOSTING AT YOU#THIS IS AN UNRELATED RANT

y'all ever notice how quickly people will start calling a nb person a man again as soon as they're mad at them?
#yeah i'm still on about the twitter thing it's so dumb#and also clearly shows that ppl still see identity as a privilege that can be taken away as soon as you misstep in their eyes

I finished Hazbin a bit ago and call me crazy but I honestly hope Sir Pentious' ascension had nothing to do with redemption as a concept.
I hope it was just a glitch in the matrix from like, the raw, holy power of Adam's laser blast + whatever magical artillery Pentious had revved up at the helm of his ship. I just think it would be VERY funny if Adam accidentally baptized some guy so hard he rebooted him to Heaven.
#hazbin hotel#I know they won't go this direction because they've got like four seasons planned and this would eliminate the show's ability to like#cycle through sinners as they're redeemed#which would kill the show's formula/momentum#but yeah Hazbin brought back memories of my Warriors AU about a cat trying to blunt force redeem her way into StarClan#and since hell and heaven became like...a metaphor for class stratification...cough#the main character ultimately realized she could never play the game well enough to get into StarClan#because the POINT of the game was to keep cats like her out of StarClan#when 'redemption' and 'sin' are defined by the privileged class...what does success within that system look like#so in the end the main character and a coalition of cats shift their focus away from 'redemption'#and towards community building in cat hell lol#like...providing support for their neighbors#with the goal of eventually overturning the game itself (as oppose to figuring out how to win)#That's a LONG way of saying I prefer redemption stories which interrogate the concept of redemption itself#...and come away with the conclusion that it's all bullshit lmao#totally a preference thing and I'll still enjoy Hazbin regardless

I CAN DO THIS!!!! I CAN LEARN TO BE A THEATER DESIGNER!!!! YES I AM JUST STARTING OUT AND DOING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!! THATS CUZ IT IS A TRADE AND YOU LEARN A TRADE BY PRACTICING!!!!! SO I AM GOING TO PRACTICE DAMMIT!!!!
#i am realizing i have the capacity to be rly ambitious and hardworking when it’s something i care about#which i didn’t think i did. because adhd and academic struggles and such#but another side effect of caring a lot about this is i am rly disappointed and worried when i feel like i’m not doing well enough#which is a feeling i think most people get academically#but i turned that feeling off in my brain for a long time cuz again. at a certain point i was academically struggling#and i couldn’t be disappointed anymore#like it was just less stressful to care a little less#which i am currently experiencing in my classes right now actually. need to deal with that#anyway#idk i keep finding out how much i don’t know about theater design and then feeling so so embarrassed#and thinking i might be a fraud#but then people look at my work and they say nice things and i am deciding to take that to heart!!!#and just hope that they’re right#it’s existential about career hours rn#also mandatory acknowledgement that i’m privileged for even considering an artistic careen#and i’m definitely gonna be living off ice soup if i try to make this happen#uh. that is all . yeah#ok yk what i should probably be a theater professor#that is definitely the biggest way i’ve seen theater professionals get regular gigs (on college shows) and make enough money to live#and also have access to massive prop and set collections!!!!!#which is what it’s really all about baybeeee#ok that is all goodnjght#theater#career#rambling

Ironic of those of you who try to moralize over people like me for liking 🐠 or whatever blorbo, once again oblivious to WHY they are appealing to somebody like me (sounds about ⚪️) when you act x10 worse than the character towards real poc in fandom then deny it to our faces when we confront you on it— but you will never be ready for that conversion will you…
#ven talks#I have more to say but I’m too busy rn to make a post#not using his name so I don’t show up in the search lol#I'm telling you though being a minority on tumblr is unreal because not only are they incapable of conceptualizing our experiences- never do#they even try. for gods sake if you just read between the lines a little— I’m not even that opaque— it’s so obvious what my deal is.#but you need a lot of empathy to do that and it’s more than I can ask for apparently lol#hmmm what in my identity and my history and the various things I’ve alluded to and the fantasies that could be wrapped up in those things#might relate back to my main theme on this blog. hmmmmm it’s a mystery…#god. yeah no sorry if this shit is beyond your comprehension just leave me alone leave me be and cherish the privilege it takes to not have#these deep seated desires. you’ll never understand. it’s not in your blood it’s not haunting your conscious every waking moment. be glad.

people who hate gilmore girls characters because they're classists are so fucking funny to me because that entire show has classism baked into it. it's like you all just forgot how the maids are treated in that show.
#gilmore girls#lorelai gilmore#rory gilmore#logan huntzberger#paris geller#emily gilmore#richard gilmore#yale#yeah logan is a classist#but so is literally everyone else in that show#38 year old lorelai gets an innocent lady fired because she screwed with emily's seating plan#rory is blind as hell to her class and privilege#all the yale characters are freaking WASPs with the exception of paris and i think logan#logan's mom is named shira (jewish name i'm pretty sure) so there's some jewishness in the family tree#it's a show that romanticizes old money New England#of course there's tons of classism#even paris is straight up looks down on people without a college degree

I’m sixteen chapters into my A Great and Terrible Beauty reread, and I’ve forgotten how depressing things are before they enter the realms.
Everyone is sad! Their positions in society are suffocating!
#There are definitely conversations about privilege regarding class and gender#the way Bray explored more of these themes in the short story and The Diviners shows how her approach has evolved#but yeah I see her intended direction for this trilogy because of the book three#also how was I so oblivious about Felicity??#Rachel in real life

Small pet peeve of mine but I hate those posts that are like "you hear the Youths call someone old and then you look them up and they're 30" because like I get it. It sucks to be called old, I guess, apparently.
But like. The person saying that is probably 15. So that "old" 30 y o is literally twice their age. Of course they're gonna call that person old.
And when I see someone who's younger than me by at least 5 years I'm gonna call them a baby. Like yeah that's someone in their early twenties, they're not a literal baby, but they're a baby to me. To them they're an adult. To me they're a baby. So they probably get annoyed being called a baby. But I don't literally mean they're a baby. And that kid when they're 30 is gonna be like wtf how is 30 old?? Cuz that knowledge comes with age.
So like if you're such a young hip whippersnapper at 30 but get butthurt when a teen calls someone your age old, displaying blatant old fart behavior ... idk man. That's a child. Who cares what they say lol. You know you're not actually old and they'll realize that too once they reach your age. So. Idk. Relax.
#if a 15 year old thinks i'm old i'm gonna be like 'haha yeah for sure!'#cuz i have more than a decade on them and won't waste my time debating ageism with a literal child#life will show them that being my age is still a very young person#my explaining it to them isn't gonna fucking do anything but convince them i'm an old fart#honestly i didn't think i'd make it past 25 so being called old is a privilege i think#but whatever
