The Arcane fandom, especially on TikTok is never beating the allegations because why, now, some fans act like it's too inconceivable to imagine that Ambessa was, not only, pregnant twice but gave birth twice as well? And their reasoning for this is "She looks like the type to get a man pregnant instead" or "She's too tough for that, I just can't see someone like her going through that." There are layers to these statements because, for one, just because someone, especially a woman, is a dominant force doesn't mean that they can't get/don't want to become pregnant (do you believe overtly dominant men can't be fathers?) It's also very weird because the undertones of misogyny and misogynoir and the overt masculinization of black women are there because, not only are they viewing pregnancy and giving birth, in general, to be viewed as something "weak" (even though it's grueling hours of labor that results in tearing the body apart, sometimes even death) but also attempts to strip Ambessa of her nuance. Yes, she is strong and very dominant, but she also deeply loved her children, who she birthed, and when one was taken away from her it changed her deeply. It's very gross to view a character like her in this way because it also reflects how you view dominant women in real life, pregnancy, and childbirth as a whole. Like how are you going to praise Arcane for having such a wide and diverse ensemble of female characters, but then have misogynistic takes like this? Make it make sense.
#arcane#ambessa medarda#arcane ambessa#anti arcane#anti arcane fandom#bc if i said the “she gets a man pregnant bc she's girlboss” also plays into misogynistic tropes bc it not only#devoids female characters of their nuances but also frames pregnancy as something “weak” or those who go thru it as “lesser than” but always#pressing the pregnancy in question on male characters who they either ignore (so they only view pregnancy for breeding and nothing else) or#infantilize (so you only view pregnancy as happening to someone who is submissive?) there's layers to this#and bringing it back to the masculinization of black women especially dark skin women people are already viewed as#existing outside the stereotypical lens of “femininity” and that in turn includes pregnancy and childbirth (which is viewed#thru a stereotypical lens as well) and bc people already don't view black women to fit the first box they definitely don't for the other#especially if she matches ambessa's body type &/or personality#even tho a big part of ambessa's character is literally her being a mom!#and don't get me started on how some of you view mother characters as anything outside of motherhood in general#(but a part of that is also bc the media doesn't give them much at times either but fandom still gets it's lashing too!)#like lets analyze: why do you think female characters who are “too tough” can't be pregnant as well? why do you think they can't be mothers?#why do you think they are “too tough” to give birth? is it bc u subconsciously view it as a weakness?#why do you think black women especially those like ambessa can't give birth & be mothers? is it bc you have biased views towards motherhood#where it's stereotypically “feminine” (yte) and black women don't fit that mold in your mind?#like i could go on!#(if i also said back to the girlboss & get men pregnant thing how a lot of it carries undertones of misogyny as well id be wrong but-)#some of yall did the same thing with mel & continue to do so when those pregnancy rumors were coming out#masc women can give and want to give birth while still being who they are (it literally happens in real life) so why people act surprised?#tw pregnancy mention#tw childbirth mention#fandom racism#fandom misogyny

i understand being grossed out by the confirmation that hugh jackman fully cheated on his wife with his coworker but y’all are being absolutely insane over this whole thing. if you’re out there grieving over a man you don’t know (and who is VERY MUCH ALIVE) i think you need to step back a little and maybe see a therapist to work things out and fix the way you’re letting a parasocial relationship take over your life like this 💀
#hugh jackman#i’ve seen some INSANE posts on here like i’m LITERALLY concerned for some of y’alls mental health/stability#it’s NOT normal to start whole ass conspiracy theories about his relationship and how she’s either a beard or he’s doing this to cover up#the blake lively scandal. i cannot press this enough this is NOT normal please see someone about this because holy fuck LMAO#i don’t understand how y’all are so surprised about it given the way he acts around women in interviews/in general LMAO he’s kissed and#touched other women multiple times unnecessarily during interviews lol#i think it was obvious from the start that he is Not a one woman man#don’t let questionable men trick you into defending them just because they’re attractive!#i’ve seen people deleting their entire blogs because they’re upset he’s dating someone which is delusional as fuck l

okay quick question for the ghost-fucking inclined ones among you, if i am writing a fic about how the absolute love and desire charles and edwin have for each other is enough to overcome the part where they don't feel touching if they just spend enough time with foreplay, do we think it should be enough to also allow charles to give edwin hickeys
because i feel like he would very much enjoy that
#dead boy detectives#dead boy detective agency#payneland#paineland#pressing question actually because i am just in the middle of this#and also i have given them a whole dialogue bit about how they would like to give each other hickeys so i am considering being nice#and also it would be v funny to think that after a weekend of them absolutely going to town crystal comes back to the agency#and they are bruised up like the teenagers they look like

LIES: Palestine is murdering civilians.
TRUTH: Palestine is expelling occupiers.
LIES: Palestine is attacking Israel.
TRUTH: Palestine is standing upon its rights in its own lands.
LIES: Hamas is giving Israel reasons to attack them.
TRUTH: Israel has already been attacking Palestinians without a reason for years. Every resistance counts and weakens Israel.
LIES: Israel is the victim.
TRUTH: Israel is suffering for its sins for the innocent children they have killed.
#free palestine#palestine#and here we are seeing hypocrite peoples posts and how Palestinians are wrong and terrorists#do you even know what you are talking about do you even know the history of these lands#i am sure that you don't bc if you did you wouldn't even dare to open your dirty mouth#it is very tragic how the whole world was playin 3 monkeys when israel was attacking and bombing and killing and raping Palestinians#none of you gave a shit#none of you said a word#ever since i know myself there was pain and blood and tears in Palestine#and the couse was always isarael#ever since i was a kid i protested israel in meetings and press briefings#i have seen the pain of my muslim sisters and brothers i have heard their screams for help#and now this shameless people coming here and saying Palestinians are wrong and they should have picked a more peaceful methods#hah don't make me laugh#what peace are you talking about#whose peace would be a better question actually#why is it okay when muslims are hurting and wrong when others are????#there is hell for israel#it is the only place they can go after all#the bottom of the hell

fellas it has been three months since the beach episode and thinking about neil and eva in any capacity still makes me ILL
#the beach episode came out right after i lost someone very dear to me so it hit extra hard#every line of dialogue in that final scene cut to my core#it's not even just neil's death for me#it's the way he pushed away his father and his friends and his literal soulmate in both a platonic and a romantic sense all his life#in order to avoid hurting them when he passed and in the process ended up hurting them way more bc if they'd been close#they'd at least have memories with him to look back on when they missed him and could find comfort in said memories#but bc he never let people get close to him he left his loved ones with nothing to remember him by except for the way he distanced himself#HE AND EVA COULD'VE LIVED A HAPPY LIFE TOGETHER#EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T END UP DATING THEY COULD'VE MADE BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES TOGETHER AND BEEN EVEN CLOSER IF HE HADN'T BEEN AN IDIOT#THEY. COULD'VE. HAD. THEIR. GARDEN.#and sure there's many messages meant to be taken away from their story and it was always meant to end tragically#but that doesn't mean i have to be content about it#PRESS ESC TO LEAVE???? WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT ENOUGH#idk man. would this have emotionally scarred me this much if i hadn't been (and still am ofc) grieving irl? maybe not.#but i was and we'll never know the answer to that question#what hurts more is i played all the other ttm games before my loved one died#and you know what one of my very last memories of him was?#him hanging out with our family in our living room while i showed my sister the first ttm game#so yeah i think these games are gonna haunt me forever. fun.#i mean i think they would've anyway#you can't play a game series with an overarching storyline this intricately woven and music this good and characters this complex#and then NOT think about it forever#anyway i like these games a lot#they impacted me more than any piece of fiction ever has and as someone whose whole personality revolves around stories that's saying A LOT#to the moon#ttm beach episode#rosawatts

Obviously I hope Denise Gough and Kyle Soller do press together again for Season 2, but there is also the possibility of Denise being paired with Ben Mendelsohn, and. Can you imagine. The sheer chaos.
#‘I don’t know anything about this stuff’ paired with the man who saw a Star Wars phone case on a red carpet and went on a Krennic tangent#they’re both so prone to devolving into mayhem too#Denise ‘she’d kill you. and she’s in here.’ Gough and Ben ‘any punk can be a Rebel! 😤’ Mendelsohn#I think they’d be cracking each other up and answering no questions#and I personally think that is the ideal dynamic for press tours

Ok, Hogan's Heroes fandom, I've got a question for you: if you were introducing someone to the show for the very first time, which episode would you start with? For bonus points, also tell me WHY you choose that episode.
#Hogan's Heroes#bonus points can be exchanged for a reduced sentence in the cooler#the next time you have to take the fall for something on behalf of the mission#half of this question is borne from curiosity and the other half is because I do want to introduce a friend to the show#as soon as I can convince her to actually give it a chance#I may have asked something like this before but I can't remember so we're doing it again#personally I wouldn't start with the pilot because that's where I started#and I was VERY confused about a couple of details (namely who's who) for like half a dozen episodes after that#so I'd probably just start with Hold That Tiger but idk if there's a better choice#it's hard to see these episodes through the eyes of someone who's never seen any of them before you know#idk I feel like no matter what I do my friend's just gonna have to be a little bit confused the first couple episodes 😂#and I just have to hope that I can convince her to press on#not that it's bad at the beginning by any means but it does get better once you know the show

ive been taking performance classes for a while. but i feel like im not allowed to actually want to perform, seriously. this is due to my shameful nature
#'am i allowed to want' is a question i ask myself far too often in far too many contexts#THE PHANTOM BOOT OF SHAME BEARS DOWN AGAINST MY BACK.#MY FACE PRESSES INTO THE GROUND AND I AM TOLD I AM SELFISH FOR WANTING TO TASTE ANYTHING OTHER THAN DIRT.#IS IT VANITY TO LOOK TO THE SKY?#MUST I COWER IN THE DARK TO BE APPROVED BY SOME DISTANT GOD?#my eyes are crossing from lack of sleep

Of my 2% capacity to be attracted to anyone, my type is like 90% women, 5% pretty men and 5% men you would swear are super fucking manly, and never questioned being straight and cis, but are now suddenly *stressed* that they can't figure out why their attraction to me [fully socially interpreted as a woman and labelled that way up until relatively recently] feels incredibly fucking gay
#you are a straight man correct? Yes. Attracted to someone you view as a woman correct? Yes... But you are afraid that makes you gay?#Afraid is a strong word but also stop asking stupid questions#The end result is I tend to date a lot of men who either then realize they are women or bi or gay and I am there when they are taking out#the messiest parts of that on whoever they are with at the time#and on one hand it means I created a space that made them feel safe enough to self examine#but on the other hand I'm their last stop when the fallout hits#OR they just realize they find the expectations put on them for masculinity to be really oppressive even negligent or abusive#I would say I need to adjust my strategy and stop trying to 'woo' men the same way I don't actually -flirt- with women#but I have already solved this problem by refusing to date ever again#The retrospective is funny though#The problem is I am attracted to men in a gay way and to women in a gay way but no one tells you the consequence of that and looking#like a pretty butch is that it really confuses the straight guys#Like why is this guy who's usually hmmm... as dom and masc as you would imagine suddenly in my lap and red and having entire feelings#about the way I am holding his hip? He doesn't knoww either and he's really pressed about it#And that thing messy lesbians do where they act jealous of you and also like they want to fuck you at the same time that looks like a red#flag from hell? Imagine dragging that out of unsuspecting straight guys -menTM-#They don't know why they are acting like that around me either but it's going to go one of two ways#either it will seem overtly threatening and aggressive to everyone involved including themselves or they'll have enough social sense#and tact to be playful about it but still not be sure if they are flirting or whether they like me at all#I have patience for one of those and unfortunately[?] it's the guy who's in my lap looks like he's being tortured and can't find his footin#not the guy telling me how much he's going to beat my ass at some game and I am going to like it or some macho bullshit#And I will be oblivious for the first 50% of it#because if there are gods they are cruel#He never realized he's actually the little spoon be nice and give him a minute#He can't tell me he likes me if he doesn't know he likes me but I opened a jar for him and asked him about his feelings and now he's warm#I actually ended up never dating many women at all because of weird lesbian mixed signals and things#At least not while they were women#I don't flirt or make friends I just decide that people are mine and start taking care of them [while respecting their autonomy and shit]#and I am starting to think this is how I make problems for myself#yes I am playing 5-d chess with gender and am now a he/they but it is not what it is cracked up to be

#jeong nyeon#Jeong Nyeon: The Star is Born#JN Debut Spoiler Party#JN press conference 10/10/2024#😅😂🤣😆😳🥰#I did not watch the press conference when it aired but a question I had was answered during the PC 😂🤣😅#yes yes yes#she did and she came to the same conclusion I did#that JEC will be dazzlingly amazing for a character like Moon Ok Gyeong#so happy to learn that YAY 🥰🥹😄#and like me PD Jung wondered how JEC might look with short hair#Kim Tae Ri#jung eun chae#kim yoon hye#ra mi ran#shin ye eun#and it was great to learn that PD Jung was dazzled by JEC’s beauty during their first casting meeting too#ha ha ha#I totally understand how she felt#I am biased I know but 😳 OMG#even standing amongst other beautiful women/actresses JEC shone more brightly than the others#her charisma and elegance ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥#‘Did PD Jung watched Sohn: The Guest?’#as befitting her character as a theater star ⭐️#can’t wait to behold Moon Ok Gyeong on my screen tomorrow night 🥰🥰🥰#ah it is so validating to know that TG was a major landmark for JEC#because KGY was such a departure from her other roles/characters#and it is my favourite of hers#I am sure I will love Moon Ok Gyeong but it likely won’t touch KGY#for one the shipping will never reach the heights of KGY/CY

guy who sees the inherent weight of humanity and people present in fictional characters: yeah im normal about bringing characters to life by experiencing them through a meta-narrative that directly interacts with the creator and/or the observer why do you ask
#tmos talks#theres a follow line to the ideas i get and i cant quite put a word to it#like. dating sim where you trick the characters into revealing they remember the past runs and explore different responses to it#exploration game where if you go afk the main character will get bored and MOVE AWAY to interact with the world and other characters#+ will welcome you back once you press an input and apologize if they wandered off too far#some sort of dialogue experience where your companion has a memory inventory system and forgets conversations#'AI dating sim' where the AI in question is just a programmer who put their consciousness into a computer and is hiding that fact from you

i don’t know what you guys are all complaining about i love that svu has vaporized olivia from woman on the verge to lady cragen
#she's behind the desk she's giving advice she's scolding the kids#she has a life we know nothing about but we know she's Seen It All and also is Lonely#i haven't been saying much about this season because here is the humiliating truth:#i am letting the cop show make me sad#(i should know better)#yes the lack of eo is a bummer but we've done it before we'll do it again#but having a season of genuinely interesting character work re olivia#to have the narrative directly engage with her as a soft furious grieving woman#to question her state of mind and what she does to herself in service of The Calling#only to not simply backtrack but neutralize her fully…#yeesh#is it a coincidence m has barely spoken a word about svu on any press appearances this season?#well no because what is there to say really#this is not a landmark season and there are zero plans to move olivia forward#she’s right where we left her tune into nbc thursdays at 8pm eastern#BUT what makes me most sad is that this shift was a demand from the viewers#(again! i should know better! and yet!)#i am just. a little heartbroken to have it confirmed that much of the audience loves olivia on the condition that she is Good#not only because she very much isn't#but also because that is boring and dangerous and speaks to our deeply warped perception of what it means to be a complete person#more specifically a complete woman#yet the audience lets out a sigh of relief! saint olivia is back! she is a Strong Woman giving Lawfully Good advice! phew!#remember when she was a little broken and volatile and seeing ghosts don’t worry she’s fixed now :)#please note my reaction is certainly tied to other real life happenings including 11/5 looming#alas it’s where i am#anyways dw you’re a loser

#i generally try not to dwell on articles or other media takes that make me mad bc life’s to short for that#but sometimes i remember the article about the pre tour press con#where the writer explicitly suggested that jonas’s family being there was some new ‘marginal gain’#instead of. you know. a normal thing for them to do#same article also very clearly positions tadej as someone honest and truthful compared to the writer explicitly questioning jonas’s words#why is it that everything tadej says should be taken at face value but jonas must be lying or deliberately hiding the truth#not that i think tadej IS lying but i don’t think he is inherently more open than jonas#this isn’t really about his podcast today which i haven’t listened to but that might be what made me think about that article#not the worst piece of jonas journalism i’ve seen by FAR (hello guardian article about how all of france hates jonas)#but it’s the kind bias and stereotyping that always frustrates me when people write about him
