#tea: rant

[tampon-eater]

Hey uh sorry about your boyfriend. Yeah he’s sort of your boyfriend girlfriend now. Yeah he’s pretty enough to lie to. Sorry about that.

One thing that will never cease to amaze me is how OVERLOOKED VI’S TRAUMA IS IN ARCANE.

Maybe it’s just the oldest daughter in me talking; But the trend I most often see in Arcane posts, rants and such, is a back and forth over Caitlin and Jinx. Who’s in the right between the two, who’s justified, who has more of a reason to grieve over their dead parent.

Vi is almost NEVER talked about when it comes to who has the right. And that is SO oldest sister of her.

She was the one old enough to properly understand what happened when their parents got killed.

She was the token older sister, always prepared to defend and take the fall for her younger siblings, hell, she was even prepared to get arrested or God knows what to protect Powder, Milo and Claggor at the age of what, 14-16?

She DID get arrested, and she was in there for about 7 years, in the darkest, dampest place she could possibly be, without sunlight, or fresh air, or ANY idea on if she would ever get out, her only hope and reason for pushing on STILL being her younger sister who also accidentally killed their entire family. WHO VI STILL LOVES AND WANTS TO PROTECT DESPITE THE FACT. And we also learn that Vi was definitely physically abused while she was stuck in that cell, (the look on her face when she hears that clunking coming down the hall proves it wasn’t an every once in a while thing.) She was literally forced to grieve alone, in the worst place imaginable, with no one to help her.

She is consistently shown blaming herself for the decisions of other people, because the over-pressured sister and daughter in her will definitely never fully grasp the fact that ITS NOT HER FAULT.

She had to come to terms with the fact that her little sister had chosen to work for and bond with the man that was responsible for the death of their father figure, and even then, after hearing the things Jinx had done, the ways she’d changed, Vi STILL tried to love her, to save her.

She was faced with a choice between her sister, and her (basically) girlfriend, and no matter how much you defend Jinx, or how much trauma she went through, or her lack of emotional maturity, none of that takes away from the pure terror of watching your sister point a gun in the face of someone you love, trying to make you ‘choose’. And then in the same moment, watching your girlfriend point a gun at your sister? Constantly being stuck in the middle of everyone you love?

Almost everyone she has ever loved either died, or completely turned on her, becoming a different person, or just straight up abandoning her.

The difference between her and the other trauma filled children of this series is that she’s not easy to pity like everyone else. She’s actually strong, and hasn’t completely lost her morals or snapped, even after everything she’s been through, so people don’t sympathize with her. She’s the token older sister, overlooked, over relied on, and villainized when she shows any sliver of fragile humanity.

(SORRY FOR MY VI RANT I JUST NEEDED TO GET THAT OUT 😔✊)

Jaiden: Cucurucho, you have a lot of power, right?

Cucurucho: ...I don't know. Maybe.

Roier: Ah... Yes, you know, don't act like a dumbass, you have it. You have it, man. Eh?

Jaiden: Is there a way for us to protect all the Eggs? Do you know? I don't want anything to happen to the Eggs that happened to Bobby.

Cucurucho: Ha ha ha

Roier: WHAT? [Smacks Cucurucho]

Jaiden: [Bops him] Headpats.

Cucurucho: Maybe.

Jaiden: [Continues to bop him] Headpats. C'mon, I can get it out of you! Headpats! Chin scratches! Belly rubs!

Roier: [Joins Jaiden in bopping Cucurucho, chuckling and laughs]

Jaiden: Yeah? He's comin' around!

[Jaiden and Roier both laugh]

SVSSS is a novel with a fandom.

[ID: A Scum Villain edit of the "missing the point" meme. A bullet arcs from velinxi art of child Shen Jiu kneeling while furiously glaring. The bullet says, "People are not entirely one thing or the other and holding them to these extremes ignores the complexities that come with their humanity." It arcs over the head of a person across from it, who ignores the bullet and exclaims: "Wow!! Shen Jiu's only crime was being mean and was wrongly hated!" End ID]

[spideyhexx]

modern coryo where you both get anxious over your separate things so you spend the night rotting in bed together and trying to distract yourselves

(sorry I wrote more of this in the tags and I’m too lazy to move it here)

[puryartist]

This is exhausting.

I wanted to just move on but turned out something actually happened. I think I had to speak out.

I've been a Helsa artist for a long time. Of course, I've been attacked by a lot of weird ass people (and friendly reminder: I was a minor, imagine I had to spend time making at least one Helsa fan art per week, did homework, and had to deal with these weirdos) BUT this is the first time I got attacked by my own community with a super ridiculous reason.

This made me think "They even did it to their own community, I can't imagine what they might have done to others." cause what do you mean the one that wants me to stop making helsa fan arts is helsa shipper who's using my art without permission, not crediting, not even apologize to me, just disappeared to the thin air with zero responsibility.

A lot of people told me this is not their first time, they have a notorious reputation with how they policing how people should enjoy works the way they do, causing a lot of dramas, and love to claiming you're not a real helsa stan if you don't think exactly like them when people tend to have different opinions.

Yeah, the real helsa stan is stealing people art, causing drama left and right within the fandom, and throwing tantrum when things don't go in the way they like. Sounds pretty normal, right?

It's funny tho because it used to be "You're toxic because you ship helsa!" but now it's "You're toxic because you don't ship helsa in the way I like!" Well, these people are allergic to fun. I love helsa/Hans fandom because WE ARE DIFFERENT. This person doesn't like the idea of Hans redemption? cool! This person wants helsa to be canon? cool! This person doesn't want helsa to be canon? cool! This person doesn't even ship helsa but want to share thoughts with me? cool! That is the beauty of discourse. We exchange new things with each other, both likes and dislikes, while still respecting one another. Just like that.

I'm disappointed but I know the majority of this fandom is chill and mature. I wish I could be the last person to encounter this kind of behavior. Be safe and enjoy your things <3

It seems like we're expected to not ship Donna and the Doctor because they are individually complex and interesting characters.

Throughout their time together, their interactions are built upon giving deeper insight on who they both are individually, rather than extensive shipping fodder or teasing about the nature of their relationship.

Donna doesn't save the Doctor at the end of The Runaway Bride because she was the only person in the world who could have. She saves him because that's who she is. She is kind, and compassionate, and empathetic, and there's no way she would have left him there.

It's not so much a grand commentary on the nature of their relationship, and how they are 'just so cosmically meant to be', as it is a moment for her to show us (the audience) who she is.

It's not because he already has some kind of undying love for her, he never would have listened to anyone else, or because he's willing to live only for her, or any of that.

It's that she's the kind of person who reaches out and cares even after a really rough day, when the spaceman is scaring her by drowning spider babies.

The moment is about who she is.

And they keep being allowed to be like this, where their interactions aren't relegated to being only about their relationship with each other. If anything the way they interact with each other is used like a launching point to deepen our connection to each character individually.

(Probably because we're not supposed to ship them lol. Okay definitely.)

I have to come back and elaborate on this with further specific Doctor/Donna when I get the braincell back from Bora Bora, but basically:

I love a fictional relationship where the writing is focused on deepening my understanding of and affection for each character individually, and then letting me come to the conclusion, based on an intimate understanding of each character's deepest convictions, insecurities, fears, and values that I want these two to be together.

The thing is, there is a wealth of writing out there that spends all of the character's screen time telling you to ship the characters, all too often at the expense of our investment in the characters as whole people outside of that relationship.

In my tastes, it is far more compelling and satisfying have the chance to fall in love with both characters individually without the writer feeling the need to bathe every moment of interaction in big flashing signs telling me: THEYRE EVERYTHING TO EACH OTHER!!! GET IT? LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE MATTERS!!!

It's so literary to me. Pride and Prejudice isn't iconic because Lizzy and Darcy spend every moment together, talking about each other, pontificating on the nature of their relationship and why a hypothetical reader should totally ship them.

They actually don't have a lot screen time (or page time) together.

It's iconic because we get to see who both characters are, what they value, how their failures affect them, why we should love them both.

And for the majority of readers, loving them both is enough to convince us to love them together. Why? Because we know them well enough to know they will be good together.

i’m so fascinated by the ‘piastri doesn’t have to publicly thank norris/he might have just done it privately’ thing bc like… no he doesn’t have to but you have to acknowledge that it’s not a good look to, on more than one occasion now, completely fail to acknowledge your teammate’s role in your win? piastri did fuck all in norris’ win at miami and lando still talked about how well piastri did and how unlucky he was afterwards - lando handed piastri his first win from six seconds up the road and saved his second when mclaren screwed up their strategy yesterday and he just… didn’t recognise either of those things afterwards?

like, maybe he did thank him privately. maybe he didn’t. we will never know. but as like a public perception thing, he doesn’t help himself come across as a good teammate or as a team player at any point

[crowleys-hips]

"I'm sick of people portraying this character as-" "I'm tired of seeing-" "I'm tired of fics where-"

okay then WRITE YOUR OWN. if you don't like the way others write your favorite characters, if you don't like certain tropes or scenarios, if you don't like certain headcanons, you're not obligated to read any of it. you are free to write your own shit. nothing is stopping you. fanfic writers don't owe you anything, and neither do authors, showrunners, etc. we're not here to cater to your own special little headcanons. we're here to tell stories we'd like to see and share them with people who want to see them. that's all. so stop complaining, and go make your own.

Moon girl and Devil dinosaur is not talked about enough like wtf. From the animation to the facial expressions. THE ELCTRO FUNK SOUND TRACK.

The tea sewn in☕️🧏🏾‍♀️

The dark three dimensional tone the second season took in comparison to the first season?!!! Ok Disney💁🏾‍♀️

Eduardo vs Marvin 😂

The ptsd depiction. The captain America teaser. The girlhood that is her and her best-friend. Her relationship with her grandma is so sweet!! When an intelligent older black woman forms a bond with her intelligent teenage granddaughter🥹

No shade but AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS THAT the intro for the show sounds EXACTLY like ‘juice by lizzo’. I can’t not hear it.

The references/color schemes/topics. I love black art 🫶🏾🫶🏾

[soulmvtes]

i love how people see me as calm and collected bc i get to listen in on all the hot goss

[yourlocalgrass]

I’m bored and thought of another scenario to put in tension and angst for obey me characters to go through. I like this one by the way.

_______________________________

Sorcerers’ society find out the causes of earthquakes happening faster than usual was MC due to their magic potential (MC being the cause of all the natural ‘phenomenon’ in S2) and now want to investigate MC and call them in.

Drama has already started baby.

Solomon who’s against this but goes with MC to make sure they’re ok because it’s not a good idea to ignore a seemingly threat invitation I mean.

It’s explained the Ring of light was used to console MC’s magic and everything is fine now but they’re doubting it and want to investigate the Ring of light for themselves, if it’s actually successfuly tamed their magic or just a temporary device to tone it down- simply meaning if MC’s overflow of magic would still be leaking and not fully restrained.

[Also add overprotective Solomon drama who’s against this because that’s hot and more dramatic]

It’s found out the ring of light isn’t powerful enough to completely prevent MC’s magic from overflowing and now…

The sorcerers’ society have deemed MC a threat. A large threat to the human world.

Who would be better off dead. No. SHOULD be dead.

「If only the story actually did have good drama like this~

Anyways I’m just describing the scenario since I can’t write at all lol if I had enough confidence I probs would haha」

[evanpeterswifeyyy]

Already seeing rumors of people speculating that Natalie is abusing Evan by picking apart the footage of him in Paris because he has “a bruise under his eye”, they sat apart and he just “looks sad”.

None of this is clear proof anything is happening and they were literally holding hands and smiling like 99% of the time, and the only time he wasn’t was when he was literally just standing, walking or sitting AKA RESTING.

I’m not denying the possibility that there could be abuse, but that is a BOLD and SERIOUS claim and you don’t say that willy-nilly. There is a million individual explanations for why he has a bruise, why he looks tired, why they sat apart that are FAR from abuse.

Just because Evan has been abused in the past and you’re petty and jealous of Natalie doesn’t make it ok to pick apart their relationship and claim that she’s an abuser. Some of you need to step back and realize your biases when saying thay.

PLEASE STOP YALL ARE DRIVING ME INSANE SO IMAGINE HOW HE FEELS

Ik everyone’s tired of talking abt this, but the more I see it the more I’m gonna speak up and keep calling everyone out for this BS because it has to stop. I get this comes with him being a celebrity, but there is no excuse for this behavior. He deserves better and I believe (hope) we all know that and would want that for him. Which INCLUDES SUPPORTING HIM AND WHOEVER HE DATES UNTIL OTHERWISE NECESSARY.
