the white trad wife girlies piss me off because they say things like "i really miss when women could be stay-at-home moms and get married and have babies and be fEmiNinE instead of having to go to college and work a job" like... you can still do that? you can literally still live your 1950s dream life? go find that man sis! but leave the rest of us the fuck out of it.

[question-marked]

❝ what's up, eddie? you're giving me that look that says you want something, ❞ barton stopped applying the mask he was using at that moment and turned to look at edward. while resting one hand on the back of the chair he was sitting upon, he gave the other a playfully skeptical look, ❝ is it that you want me to join me in doing masks? because you already know all you have to do is ask. ❞

(i just got this image of barton doing a little bit of ✨️ self-care ✨️ around edward, and i couldn't get it out of my head, so AHH... here's a little unprompted something-something for you LOL)

Honestly Edward was interested in how Barton made his masks and the process that went into their creation. 

After Barton’s question, Edward walked over to where he was. As he placed a hand on Barton's shoulder, Edward smiled and slightly tilted his head.

“I gotta admit Barton, I am interested in how you make these masks. I’m not sure if I want to do one right now but I would love to watch, and also would love it if you explained to me the process you do in creating these...also the reason why as well.”

May I ask, why do you even hate feminist Greek mythology retellings so much? I think it's great female characters are getting the attention they deserve

when I say I hate feminist Greek Mythology retellings, I mean:

"I hate retellings where all the men are shallow assholes and all the women, who most of the time are assholes, are spared of any fault because 'the men made her do it, they drove her off the edge it's not her fault'. To me it's a very lame, narrow-minded and a bit bias view of Greek Mythology, especially considering the historical context and the point of moral ambiguity. Which was a pretty big thing in the stories. But people treat it like it's okay because 'The Greeks did it first by being misogynists'. You can have your own interpretations of course but in my point of view erasing the fault of these female characters and claiming to have "told THEIR stories" is wrong. Not to mention the 'feminism' is just the very modern iteration of it that's a little bit rooted in misandry.

And again, this is deemed as acceptable and progressive because 'The Greeks did it first's or something'. It's just extremely icky to me, and I'd rather not have gender politics or have the book always telling me how baaddddd these women have it I'm sure they'd be treated better if they were men. It's just extremely exhausting and annoying to read. Like- I'm sorry but at this point I don't even care give me cool goddesses and mythological creatures and sick ass warrior dudes."

I do not mean:

"I hate it when people give attention to the female characters they were terrible people. Women shouldn't be interesting characters because they weren't in the original stories all the did was annoy the men YADAYADAYADA.".

Get it right.

I'm new to the fandom. What does Knocking on Heaven's Door (the song right?) have to do with the 100?

Another question, any idea what 'wildpip' means?

Thank you!

Knocking on heaven's door is the song that's played in 2x16. If you haven't watched that, I won't spoil it but it's basically one of the most important bellarke moments and moments in the show in general. People love that song and personally it makes me cry too when I remember that scene and that particular moment. Wildpip is Bob's (the actor who plays Bellamy) username and has been on all platforms since the beginning. I think he's explained before what it meant during cons, something about a word play and that is just something that has a meaning to him I believe about himself, here people can correct me but I believe he said it's something they called him when he was younger or that he came up with himself, I'm not sure.

Another quick PSA, just because it seems it's needed

This blog is very much Marvel critical (and that goes for any new content too), so if you don't like seeing that sort of thing, this might not be the blog you wanna follow. Alternatively, if you don't want to unfollow, you can filter the 'marvel critical' and 'anti marvel' tags and variations thereof. I'll always do my best to tag such content appropriately so it can be avoided, but I'm telling you now it's no use sending me messages defending Feige & co, because I'm most likely not going to agree and therefore not going to publish them. No one has to agree with me, and you're free to feel differently, and I won't try and change your mind, but my mind won't be changed either, just so you know (I've just been let down too many times)

I don't want to be "rude to people for no reason on Grindr" but at the same time...

I am happy to chat with you, but so help me, if you just message me "Hi" every two days and that's it, you can fall in a chasm.

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

like the most politically neutered movie of all time unironically

[koobiie]

shoutout to everyone who wants to infodump but cant string together coherent thoughts to form sentences and instead just look at you like this

[macbethz]

Well I like it but it’s not very well written. Also it’s a visual mess. The plot doesnt make any sense and the creators suck and its politics oscillate from mildly problematic to frankly baffling. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. However. the character

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

it's healthy for academics to have professional feuds. enrichment activity
