tbh, one of the things I can't wait to be over with this campaign is the idea that any real person's engagement with feminism is somehow tethered to whether or not/how much they like imogen and laudna (and additionally, having the concept of lesbophobia attached to whether you enjoy the ship between them). i feel like every single time there's been a word of criticism about their behavior or development, it's immediately been met with a cry (in certain circles) that anyone being critical isn't feminist and doesn't support sapphic relationships, which has been a WILD experience on my end as a stan blog for a female character who has notable sapphic ships. but none of that has mattered in the wake of these two SPECIFIC characters. like they're the linchpins of feminism and all sapphics around the world, and to dislike or even just be mildly critical of them proves you have disavowed your rights to be a feminist. or queer yourself. if i am eager for ANYTHING to be over, it is that

thinking about snarky cultural/theological commentary and. the thing about snark is this: it’s easy, and it’s instant gratification. it’s easy because you’re playing to a likeminded audience. you get the way they think, you know the sort of things they find ridiculous, and so you know what’s going to play well with them. it’s not that hard to come up with a zinger that’s going to earn you applause from your own side. it’s also pretty easy to make another human being who’s not on your side look stupid, because we’re stupid creatures and we all have plenty of exploitable weak spots. it’s preaching to the choir, and it’s preaching meanly to the choir. and then, your snark bears all its fruit right away. you get the glowing feeling of having scored points against the enemy while being patted on the back by your friends for being so brave. if you succeeded in being snarky, you get the rewards of snark that very instant.

on the other hand, seeking to share the truth you possess in a mode in which it could actually be received—that is, says St Thomas, according to the mode of the recipient—that’s hard, and it’s so far from being instantly gratifying that you may never see the fruits of it in this life. not only are you not thinking about your likeminded audience, you’re not even going to trot out the truth simply in the way you understand it and call it your best effort. rather, you have to try to get inside your interlocutor’s frame of mind and understand how the truth you know is going to fulfill their own priorities and longings. you have to understand them so well that you see the truth of their position, even if that truth is buried very very deep, and then see how that truth connects them to the truth you see. you have to be insightful, and compassionate, and so, so patient. you don’t get to score any points, with anybody. your interlocutor might still get annoyed with you and turn around and make you look stupid. but you can’t just say “I’m going to speak the truth and I don’t care who hears and how they take it”—you have to care how they take it, because the truth is relational, it’s given and received, not just spouted into a void. and frankly you have to care how they take it because you have to care about their salvation.

don’t get me wrong, there are times in every person’s life when they will be called to stand up and be counted, to put fumbling words to what they hold most dear even if they can’t make everyone understand. but I don’t know that it’s a virtue to be always focused on being seen saying the truth, with no consideration given to who hears you and what they’ll hear in it—and it’s certainly not a virtue to be always focused on being seen saying the truth in a mean and funny way. “instruct the ignorant” is a spiritual work of mercy. but instruct the ignorant does not mean “instruct the ignorant while making the knowledgeable laugh and/or high five.”

Love that TMA ships that contain Jon get just mashed together names no poetry here.

Like you got Jmart, JonTim, JonMarTim, JonSasha, JonElias, JonGerry etc.

Meanwhile the other ships get Lonelyeyes, TerminalVelocity, Doorkeay.

Only one I can think that includes Jon is Polyarchives, and that’s still like borderline on not being a bad ship name.

Conclusion: Nothing Jon just doesn’t get to be cool.

I know I said I was staying far away from Leafs social media tonight, but I happened across this comment on an Insta post complaining about Mitch, and I've been laughing for the last 5 minutes.

I am SO delighted that this was the answer to one of the questions I asked

pouring one out for luo binghe in my disciple SQQ fic, poor guy has taken a backseat here. we're nearly 30k words deep and he hasn't even shown his face once. it'll be much longer before he even actually talks to Shen Qingqiu.

(i say im pouring one out but in reality im sitting in my director's chair chewing on a cigar and wearing a beret as he tearily and unsuccessfully pleads with me for more scenes with Shen Qingqiu)

My sister was high a few days ago, and we got to talking about how Warner Bros. failed the DC storyline, especially with all the Batman remakes. So, naturally, I got into telling her about Batman and his kids since she was too out of it to stop me. I went into a rant mostly about Jason Todd and Tim Drake but talked about Dick, Damien, and Cass a little, too, just going over their general history. But I dug deep into Tim And Jason since their stories are my favorite.

I just think that if they do a movie about the Robins it would change everything. They never talk about them, but each Robin has played a vital role in being Batman's partner and the reason he restrains himself. Despite all his faults and his mistakes, his Robins are his life.

Anyway, today we were watching Madame Web, and I commented about how she's like Batman collecting orphan children. My sister turned to me and said, "So, she's going to get them all killed?"

💀

That's what she collected from my hour-long rant while high. I can't.

While it would be better if they hadn't spoken on a podcast done by people with such shitty views,

I do 100% think that if this situation was two people went on a podcast done by a trans ally, and was accusing someone with anti-trans views of being a rapist, everyone here would be dragging anyone saying 'this must be a conspiracy, they must be lying, look at the podcast they are on'

Cos obviously judging a rape accusation by who it was told to is completely inappropriate right?

Like that would be such a heartless response towards people talking about the most truamatic events of their lives? To reduce it to the views of the interviewer?

To be like 'the person who was told the rape accusation has x opinion about unrelated topic, so the accusation is a lie'

You'd be like wtf

I really hesitated over making this post because it really really sucks that so much of this conversation has been made about trans people. When theres no trans people involved. A cis man being accused of abuse should not somehow be about trans people.

But theres already been a lot of that so I thought i'd throw my two pence in.

may not be intentional juxtaposition esp bc we don’t know yet how the story plays out BUT I have been thinking about buck making a big gesture swing w tommy and immediately getting dumped -> stewing on it -> being super supportive of Eddie leaving instead of big gesture clinging (which Eddie would probably be into but buck doesn’t know that) bc he NEEDS to not scare Eddie off (as if he could) but he’s losing him anyway and it’s so much worse than the romantic breakup he also just had!

anon..... oh my god..... eddie being the only one person Ever who's buck been able to stop himself from clinging to just because he's convinced that that's what eddie needs the most right now and he'd do anything to make eddie feel better..... let's unpack that. not deciding to cling as buck's ultimate romantic sacrifice (which he doesn't even recognise as one)
