it does bother me how deeply people will mine obi-wan's child soldier trauma that comes from a dubiously-canon book and isn’t referenced at any point in the movies (or shows), but straight-up never talk about padme's child soldier/queen trauma, which is half the plot of tpm and while maybe clumsily followed-up on, is nonetheless a real genuine part of her character included from the start

Just to throw this out there

with every thing i learn about what the directors of totk said in interviews it all just gets worse huh?

the thing about the shiekah tech just vanishing and nobody caring enough to look into it was already rough and now i learn they said that -after botw zelda wondered if hyrule as a kingdom was still needed but then totk happens- just sounds like she wondered if hyrule as a kingdom still needed to exist in the way it had been (which would be an interesting change for once and also make sense for her character) and then they took her back into the distant past with the super good guy king of a godly race to teach her the lesson what her place is and that yes, their monarchy needed and good and really given to her by "gods" and what if big evil black man shows up again

i dont have the energy to get into it further but needed to say soemthing about it bc it keeps bothering me :(

Still fascinating to me that there's people who truly think their experiences are universal, that because something is popular in the circles they run in means that everyone should know it and will insult and treat people like stupid uncultured swine for even perceived differences in experiences. or if folks disagree with them when they make overly broad generalizations on what 'everyone' knows or thinks.

(b/c it's not like poor people, people from different cultures/subcultures, and people with fundamentally different interests exist.)

Like? That's complete asshat behavior.

Hetalia fans will be like " nooooo!! Don't ship those two characters they're brothers/ father and son!!!" And its about two land masses who were colonial empires who've done irreversible damage to the world or something. Objectively what I'm doing is way better comparatively and has little to no impact on society soooo

On my hands and knees begging fantasy authors to include other forms of government in their writing other than absolute hereditary monarchies because fantasy gives you the ability to experiment with literally any idea on how society functions and also I'm sick of seeing monarchies all the time, it gets boring.

Also they get glorified most of the time which is an even bigger problem

Post: hey guys it’s important we remember nuance exists! We need to make sure we don’t end up falling for propaganda or half truths under the guise of a false dichotomy between only two polarized “sides”. Not everything can be neatly summed up as purely bad or purely good, that’s unhelpful black and white thinking or splitting.

Person who only engages with the world via fanfiction: is this about a ship? OP this sounds like you’re defending proshippers

Post: hey don’t forget to critically think about everything you’re reading and seeing. It’s important you maintain media literacy to make sure you don’t fall for problematic logic or straw-man arguments by filtering out misleading, bad, harmful, or problematic takes. You’re not immune to propaganda

Person who only engages with the world via fanfiction: OP are you defending antis?????

Gonna put myself out here for a hot minute to remind everyone that the runner of a poll or little event on tumblr is not responsible for the replies/posts of everyone else in the fandom, nor do they have the power to stop people from reacting in any which way in the notes of their post without turning off reblogs and shutting down the entire thing full stop. I think we can all agree on that? They are not a discord mod, or the fandom's babysitter. Tumblr is the Wild West and by god none of us are the sheriff.

That's all ok keep on keeping everyone

my timbern hot take is that i thank god everyday that we got riley rossmo's art for those first few issues instead of serg acuña's because i know some of you bitches would've been extremely weird about timbern if we had gotten acuña's manga-esque style from the beginning

if stranger things were set in 2016 eddie's big guitar solo would have been megalovania and it would have fucked just as hard send tweet

[pixlostinatos]

[undead-dragonborn]

they released player stats that show the top 3 romanced companions are shadowheart, karlach, and lae’zel.

probably one of the worst things to happen because the people obsessed with astarion are going to be insufferable about it, about how he’s “so underrepresented” or something.

and i know this because it’s starting to happen on twitter.

[dyketennant]

the fact that i live in a society where i cannot avoid hazbin hotel or helluva boss within many queer spaces is truly a nightmare scenario.

if the "Addict" music video is no longer canon, we basically have no evidence that Valentino is, in fact, a rapist

checkmate antis and haters 💅

[scare-ard--sleigh]

gotta be honest with you, i can't stand that post that's like "the t*rf accusations don't bother me bc i know that trans women are my sisters!" like , ,,, it should bother you. being accused of that should make you ask yourself what your knowledge gaps are and what you can be doing better to be loudly inclusive. if you’re an intersectional ally like you claim, it should absolutely bother you.

[babygirltangerine]

me seeing people give the bullet train characters "real" names: oh so you hate trans people then? 🤨
