#someone's problematic to you

You should not EVER be ashamed of liking a fictional ship.

It is fiction. It does not have any affect on real life, nor does it diminish your value as a person. Please do not be ashamed and hide what you like because someone told you to be ashamed. Don't contort yourself into a box of another's beliefs. There is no reason to be ashamed over something like a ship, or a fic, or art. There is no reason to be because it is not. Real.

I feel like some fans of Game Changer have lost the plot a bit. Sam Reich and the team at Dropout have done quite a bit to explain how they work to create a system for consent and safety even while maintaining mystery about the specific episodes for the players.

These aren't, like, random Mr Beast videos with desperate people doing nonsense for life changing money. These are professionals getting paid to be on a show, and sometimes there's a possibility to win more money on top of that as prize money. But, at the end of the day they are professionals doing a job in, by all accounts, a remarkably safe and inclusive working environment.

Something something, sometimes the CRK fan base is too serious/protective over some ships, especially PureLily! Just saying that if you do not like another person's taste in ships, don't make your reasoning for it be “because it's not canon”

This mostly goes to the PureLily shippers. As much as we love the ship, it's not canon. In fact, we'd argue that ElderLily has more canonical romantic undertones

Bonus!! Even though we don't ship romantic ShadowVanilla

nah i can't lie, watching tumblr finally realise thaty RTD has, shall we say, "some issues" in his writing is quite enjoyable. it sucks for you all that this happened but a bit of me is absolutely going "OH, AT LAST YOU SEE IT TOO"

[mulders-too-large-shirt]

thinking about how mulder loves to get scully a gift, usually terribly heartfelt, even if disguised as something flippant:

the superbowl vhs tape he brings her when she wakes up from her coma in one breath (and her deadpan "i knew there was a reason to live")

tickets for a football game to watch together in irresistible

bringing her flowers to the hospital in memento mori (he lies, saying he stole them from a guy with broken legs to make her laugh)

the birthday keychain in tempus fugit (and when she finds a meaning to it, he claims "i just thought it was a pretty cool keychain")

that is a man who is always thinking about her.

Okay literally no one asked but as a former Hobbit movie hater who has since experienced character growth, I feel compelled to share my thoughts on the movies on my gay little blog.

Listen. There are legit reasons to be critical of these movies. They were made on a rushed timeline, at time where CGI overuse was the thing and there are definitely unnecessary moments. But despite those issues, these movies still have a lot of heart and character and some really wonderful acting! To compare them to LOTR, is unfair I think because LOTR was such an unimaginable success and I truly believe no other movie franchise can do what those movies did. To expect the Hobbit movies to be the same caliber considering the behind the scenes drama and massive difference in timeline is just not it.

Truly I think that the Hobbit could have been much more than it was and it’s sad to see the amazing moments and realize that we could have had movies that were maybe closer to the level of LOTR, but that doesn’t take away from all of the great things that the movies gave us! Despite what he may be like irl, Martin Freeman was a great young Bilbo, Richard Armitage was insanely good as Thorin (despite the change in age) and the other dwarf actors brought a great sense of loyalty, brotherhood and shared loss to their roles. The music is still dope as hell and there are some beautiful shots despite all the CGI.

This is way too long and I’ve not said anything that hasn’t been said before but honestly, I’m so glad that I stopped hating on these movies and have seen the special things about them. Nothing will ever compare to LOTR, but that doesn’t make these movies bad. They’re fun, they’re emotional, they have great characterization and it’s super valid to enjoy them.

Final gay thoughts because I’m obligated, but I struggle with people who argue against Bagginshield with the whole “why does everyone have to make everything gay?” thing. Because Hollywood is so deeply homophobic that we see so little genuine queer representation, so forgive us for enjoying the chemistry we find and making it our own since our society gives us breadcrumbs. If you’re not into Bagginshield, totally legit and fine, but don’t hate on other people (especially queer people) trying to find some romantic love in media that we enjoy. Also no one can convince me that Richard Armitage wasn’t at least somewhat intentionally putting his queer energy into this role, I will die on this hill.

Anyway, TL;DR there’s no shame in liking or loving the Hobbit movies despite their faults and there are lots of things to appreciate and enjoy and I for one, am glad to leave my LOTR purist hater days behind me

Crashing out cuz i saw a video of a guy being like "i dont really do the whole shipping thing but-" and then proceeded to talk about how he wanted my notp to kiss, like??? What the FUCK?? They have NO romantic chemistry i understand why the usual suspects want them to kiss, its two hot anime boys whatever but even this dudebro Rando????????? This is absurd, i feel crazy. Every time i try to be chill about it like, "its not that serious let people ship whatever, its not hurting anyone" and then i see some anime only talk about them and i go rabid again. Out of EVERY possible option you pick This One???? And its so Popular in the fandom too i feel like im being gaslit whenever it gets brought up cuz like what do people see in this????????

Stop judging concepts based on the person who came up with them. Love languages? A helpful tool for communicating better in a relationship. I don't give a fuck if you don't like the conservative, misogynist, whatever guy that came up with them. It's a fucking tool. Use it if it's useful. The Nazis implemented modern maternity leave and a bunch of other useful fucking things that we all use frequently but that doesn't mean you agree with everything they ever did, just because you've driven a Volkswagen down the highway before. Nor is "Nazis did it first" a good reason to stop using the olympic torch relay.
