Sorry House writers you are not going to get me to like Stacy. What she did is fucked up. House was being a stubborn idiot but it's his body. She forced a medical procedure on him he did not want. People should have their bodily autonomy respected.
It could be argued that Stacy asserting her will over the patient (House) and forcing him into a life of constant pain because She Knows Best is the foundational malpractice of the show. The inciting incident. The Primordial Malpractice resulted in House's pain (contributing to his anger and depression and causing his drug addiction) and established that patients' views do not need to be respected. Why should House care about what patients want if he's a renowned doctor and no one respected him?
Additionally, pre-meditation. It's not like he went into cardiac arrest again and she made an emotional decision to try to save him. She told Cuddy her plan before he was unconscious. She knew his wishes and formulated a plan to take away his choice, knocking him unconscious while he still thought she respected his decision.
Finally, cowardice and/or incompetence. If you are going violate ethics and turn towards evil, don't go for the middle-of-the-road option. She wanted to cut off his leg. This was the only option that would almost certainly not cause him chronic pain. One should not half-ass evil. This whole middle-ground thing she chose was probably to make herself feel better. It let her pretend that she wasn't making the choice she was, because his leg was still there. If she really believed her own logic as strongly as she claimed, she would have had them remove his leg. She didn't. This just annoys me. If you're going to be evil, put your whole ass into it.
In conclusion, despite how desperate I am for complex female characters in House, I still hold that Stacy can kick rocks.
#house md#hatecrimes md#gregory house#stacy warner#my experience protesting for abortion rights leaves me quite familiar with the “my body my choice” slogan#it doesn't matter that he may have been wrong#people should decide what happens to their bodies#sorry to say something controversial yet brave#yes I am rewatching House from the beginning#I am not accepting criticism at this time

my approach to every character is "bisexual until proven lesbian or gay" and that's always worked very well for me until nancy wheeler. she's straight. she's exception that proves the rule. she is not eating pussy and that's okay for her. but not for any other character ever made thank you.
#how could i say something so controversial yet so brave#oh also mike wheeler is straight. sorry will. but he is the straightest boy ever.

not to be controversial but like… why are the people that are always yelling the loudest about this site having “zero media literacy” or whatever… the people with the actual least media literacy…
#why would i say something so controversial yet so brave??#(as if i don’t have this reblog locked lmao)#anyway. how are You lecturing someone on the moral themes & implications of a media–#when you can’t even get a basic Said Out Loud For Emphasis plot point correct#lecturing about how the door being red will lead to turmoil & immorality irl in the Poor Stupid Women! girlie the door is blue!#literally it’s always that. ‘The Queers and The Women are taking this wrong!!’#‘they’re romantizing it!!’ ‘they’ll make people think actual real life murder or whatever is okay!’#like. sorry that YOU’RE stupid & can’t comprehend media with anything other than preschool black & white morality?#thoughts & prayers girl 🙏🏻

can i just say something potentially controversial yet brave for a second
i really do not understand why there is a problem with people posting their little dangender memes 😬 like as long as it's confined to its own corner of tumblr, why is it a problem for people to project onto their fav internet microcelebrity? isn't that what everyone here is doing to some extent at the end of the day?
now if people were tagging him, trying to bring this to his attention, or god forbid confronting him with this stuff in a live setting/m&g or whatever then yeah, that would be deeply inappropriate and crossing a line. but i honestly dont get why it's an issue if youre just saying whatever's in your heart on your little tumblr blog, and dan would have to go out of his way lurking to find these posts.
i think maybe this has to do with me being new in this space again, like i wasn't there during the speculation era of the mid 2010s so maybe that's why i don't get the controversy? i just don't understand why there's now this sort of double standard. like why is it universally considered okay to get excited about a phan hard launch on here, but getting excited about dan talking more openly about gender gets you anon hate? i really don't understand this im sorry it might be because im lacking the history here but idgi.
i think if someone just personally isnt interested in all this stuff that's completely fine! i absolutely understand that for some people it's just not interesting/something that they're not comfortable with. but like it's not hard to curate your experience on this platform. i do not see how any of this is a problem. instead of sending people anon hate perhaps consider that it's not that serious and you can just block/block tags/unfollow and move on <3
personally tho i think it's fun that people are celebrating his "formless blob"-ness and seeing themselves in him. also this is dan and phil tumblr lmao we are all cringe here
#this is mainly about ppl getting so worked up that they felt the need to send anon hate to certain accounts btw#not any individuals in particular#everyone is entitled to their opinion of course. i fully get that it's just uncomfortable for some people#but there's no need to be getting aggressive about it#im not generally a proponent of the “let people have fun” mentality because im a fan of critical thinking lmao#but like fr i just honestly dont get why it's a problem. idk#wondered if i should post this in the tags but i think it can just die as a 0 note flop#since i dont want to get into any kind of debate here. just wanted to say what i have to say#actually i changed my mind lol it's going in the phan tag#phan#mine

Look I don't want to cause a stir I don't want to be controversial but you have to know that I love you, and you're fantastic, and seeing you on my dash is a delight, and I read your horseposting because even though I Dont Even Go There it's interesting to me and I love seeing your passion shine through and sure I followed you for the Adult Content but honestly I've come to know at least a little bit of you as a person and that is great. You've made my life richer. Okay sorry if that pissed anyone off but I had to say it
Why would you say something so controversial yet so brave?
In all seriousness, thank you! 🥰 I don't even really know what to say. I'm kinda in tears (happy tears) over this message.

I’m gonna say something controversial yet brave re: bob covers. I think (this just my opinion I promise I don’t want beef lmao) I think that, because Bob messes around with his own songs so much, like the same song is done in so many different ways it is barely the same song anymore (which I love. One of my favorite things he does) I think this opens a lot of opportunities for good covers to also exist. Like. Some of the best covers are the ones that are completely different. So I think it’s hard to say that the bob version is always better. because are we talking the original studio recording? Or any of the number of completely different versions out there? Is one of his version better than another? It’s hard to compare when they are so different, so I think that a cover can be just as enriching in some ways. How can a cover be better or worse when it is just something Else. In my personal and professional opinion I just think that bob covers can be a beautiful thing and are vital to the ecosystem. (Though many are absolutely mid as hell)
Sorry for rambling! I just love bob and I love (some) bob covers :))
Bob covers ARE a beautiful thing but I think the truth is that regardless of the version- studio, or demo, or live take- Bob is the one who wrote those words. In his own paraphrased words- he writes because he needs something to sing, and he doesn’t know where those songs come from. they manifest inside of him to be delivered through his voice. this is I think part of WHY he always sings his own music differently, and why he’s done projects like Shadow Kingdom with which to give his own new voice to his past words. to me hearing his songs in his own voice always shines with truth and intimacy and authenticity of feeling and that’s something that can’t be captured truly by another artist. Bob denies the personal nature of a lot of his music but you can hear his soul in every one. and that’s why they can’t be beat.

aaaaaaa so tumblr is not a functional website and it ate my next two drafted asks so prepare to get tagged in textposts but @brambleberrycottage sent Lord of The Rings (which will be v interesting bc im quite new to this franchise so pls dont crucify me i know nothing im baby lol) for the fandom ask game:
✨ send me a fandom and i'll answer with the following!
blorbo (favorite character, character I think about the most)
↣ VERY IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE but i think i have no choice but to go with aragorn. idk i dont know enough yet about all the lore of the universe to unpack this but. idk. something about that specific Flavor of generational trauma and the concept of corrupted legacy/rejecting his bloodline and coming back to it and learning to accept it and himself and what that means for middle earth in the grand scheme of things and h ow he has to 'forgive' himself/his kind to help everyone else. idk idk. It Compels Me. ive only seen the movies 3 times and i have not yet read the books so im sorry if im saying anything stupid aldjfkfhf 😭
scrunkly (my “baby”, character that gives me cuteness aggression, character that is So Shaped)
↣ SAM!!! SAMWISE GAMGEE !!! SAMWISE THE BRAVE! he is so so friend shaped i just love him so much so many of his scenes make me ugly cry. he was my big toss up for blorbo in this ranking. but i want to squish him. you know ???????
scrimblo bimblo (underrated/underappreciated fave)
↣ NO idea who is underrated in this fandom but i have a Soft Spot for boromir. hes that type. the type we've discovered i always love. the traumatized man with emotional problems who is overconfident. akdjfkfjfkgfj and i KNOW he obviously has his faults but he redeems himself and he reminds us of his true character and he does right by those halflings in the end by god 😭😭 still sad abt it
glup shitto (obscure fave, character that can appear in the background for 0.2 seconds and I won’t shut up about it for a week)
↣ again not that obscure probably idk enough of the more background ppl yet and idk who is popular but i have a soft spot for king theoden. his speech on the hill about burying his son always rly gets to me and he seems very noble and level-headed and fair, if not a little bit prideful at times. so interested in the concept of legacy and the way he talks about it and then how aragorn talks about it too and i always wonder if there is meant to be contrast/reference between them.
poor little meow meow (“problematic”/unpopular/controversial/otherwise pathetic fave)
↣ LISTEN..... DO NOT COME FOR ME BUT ITS KIND OF SORT OF SMEAGOL......hear me out. if faramir hadnt caused frodo and same to betray him i think he might still have been good and might still have been free of the ring at last. and idk if that lines up w the lore at all i may be talking out of my ass. im just saying i feel so so terrible about that twist happening to him bc he seemed so happy and free before the ring and then its just IMMEDIATE awfulness and crimes forever. he must be suffering. he died suffering. for the stupid ring. id like to think in another universe he gets something better.
horse plinko (character I would torment for fun, for whatever reason)
↣ im sorry this is literally frodo i think 😭 canonically and also fandom-wise. frodo ily i am sorry this burden ruined your life it PHYSICALLY pains me, literally, yet i cannot stop reading about it and thinking abt your struggles.
eeby deeby (character I would send to superhell)
↣ OBVIOUSLY SAURON OR SARUMAN.....NEXT QUESTION
#star unasks#as i said ive seen these movies a limited number of times and am not very aware of the lore#so i have no idea if ive said anything insane or not#if so please forgive me these are very casual thoughts lol#lotr#thank u so much for the ask and im sorry this webbed site ate it !!!!#brambleberrycottage#star.txt

Hello, first of all I really love your tweets and posts. Also, my question isn’t related to Minnie or Koo, but Bangtan and Korea?! I remember an RJ mentioning that it was surprising that the song Dope was not censored. Do you know why she’d have said that?
Hi, thanks a lot for your message!
I guess you are aware of the social commentary that even the most upbeat BTS songs include, and Dope is also one of them. For reference I always like to refresh my memory on the clever word play and messages in each lyrics by checking out Doolset's blog.
Dope might on a very superficial level appear as 'Bangtan is so cool' 'We work our ass off' type of a song but when you listen more closely and actually dissect what the lines say (or try to say), they refer to a lot of struggles of the younger generations of Koreans that they are experiencing in their modern society. And the boys come from one of those generations themselves (for more of that try to search for 'sampo' or N-po generation in Korea). Another layer or type of metaphor that can be noticed is that with their outfits worn in the MV and during live performances they are representing different types of occupations, which can be interpreted as them trying to show support towards the working class and highlighting their important yet very struggle-filled role in the society.
With all of this BTS are in a very clever way 'protesting' the way the Korean society operates and provide an additional voice for the struggling generations.
Another point of this conversation then comes to censorship in S. Korea. The tool of censoring media was widely used and misused in Korea especially under oppressive authoritarian regimes before democracy was instilled in Korea in the 20th century. Though SK now functions under a modern fully democratic regime, the remnants of the past are still very much present. One of those is their censorship laws and the role of the government, which basically still has all the power to step in and ban or force alteration of certain media in case it deems it unsafe or harmful towards its society; and art is also subject to this censorship. This of course becomes a powerful political tool in the hands of the ruling party, which tend to frequently apply Korea's censorship laws to any loud voices that undermine their role or express criticism that could reach a wider audience or cause a stir in the public forum. When BTS release songs that include signs of 'revolt' or 'criticism' against the status quo of the country, they have to do it in a very clever way that doesn't directly address the current government, using metaphors and word play that wouldn't rile up any politicians to the extent that would warrant a reaction in the form of censorship.
Dope was released in 2015 during Park Geun-hye's presidency, which was riddled with corruption and massive use of censorship of her and her cabinet's critics. I have to say BTS were very brave for releasing such a song as the promo single in that specific political climate, something that is perhaps not talked about enough. Yet the reason I think they didn't get outright banned (although some lyrics had to be altered for live broadcast if I remember right) is that I don't think anyone in the ruling party considered them important or big enough (at that point) to go after; and their metaphors with the combination of signalling through outfits was just enough to get the message across to the audience that was willing to listen closely without causing any controversy.
(Once again, another very lengthy answer sigh... I am sorry for making you read all of that but I hope I could provide some clear answers to a certain extent.)

I’m going to say something controversial yet brave,
If you tell me I have to watch 100+ episodes of a show for it to get good then it is not a good show.
In fact, I shouldn’t have to watch more than two episodes for it to get good.
But for some reason I see one p**ce fans say all the time that it’s peak fiction but you gotta watch like 20, 50, 100 episodes for it to get good. Like I’m sorry that is not peak fiction.
Why do y’all wanna die on that hill?

forceful reminder as we come up to easter weekend that you were not born bad. that it is good that you are alive. that you were not born to be evil, or born to die for the cause, or born to be broken.
