#the thing that ppl tend to forget is that

[doodler16]

I was talking about this with my friends and honestly? I am kind of nervous of how they're gonna handle Stella's backstory. Ik she's meant to be abusive, but looking on it, saying that she's inspired by Beatrice Horseman, they kind of already have like an angle they could go with her. Stella, at her age of 35+, seems to act very childish. Like, good Lord. She pouted and said "But I wanna kill him so bad!!!" at Andre (I'm just shortening it to that bc whatever), and want things her way right then and there. Everyone reacts to abuse differently, but they could go with her being abused so much she was that- y'know how ppl are like mentally "stuck" at an age due to severe trauma? Why not go for something like that with her? I mean, the girl was engaged at a VERY young age and had to give birth at 18-years-old for the Goetias. Not to mention, they could something with Andre. People tend to forget sibling abuse exists. Minus the creepy incest intones, Andre prattles off the only good thing about Stella is her looks. Like maybe Andre made it to where Stella was reliant on him. Many abusers do that. Look, I'm just saying that if they have time in s2 to go over everyone's backstories, is just weird. And they can show how the cycle of abuse gets carried down from one generation to another. But we'll just have to see, I guess.

Vivziepop is going to fumble the backstory. I get being inspired by media but at same time why even bother watching Stella’s backstory when it’s directly tied and heavily inspired to Beatrice. I can just go back on Netflix and actually watch Beatrice’s backstory unfold.

Anon, just imagine a rip off version of Beatrice’s backstory that will not only completely miss the entire point but most likely will be black and white. I don’t think Vivziepop will even call out Andrealphus too. She already liked a tweet that he’s supposed to be acting straight to fit in or whatever is going on. 💀

i am veering into Serious Mental Health Discussion but last is also why i can't stand those posts that are like "the only way to stop being depressed is to get off your ugly ass" like. first of all, on a personal level, i was rough with myself like that all of my childhood, which had no effect whatsoever, and when i finally started being radically gentle with myself & telling myself that struggling wasn't a moral failing but i deserved to feel better just for my own sake then i actually became able to take the steps i needed.

and secondly. my main point. if you go through a rough spot in your life, and do manage to dig yourself out with an uncomfortable amount of elbow grease, that's awesome, but how are you going to feel the next time you're in a bad place? i for one would be daunted & might stay in the hole longer if i thought brute forcing things was my only way out

I should learn to start reading the tags on the fics I'm about to read, bc a few times now I've started reading a fic, gotten jumspcared by something that has been tagged, and then noped out of it.

It's a bit funny, honestly.

Isn’t there like a new movie or show out featuring a white samurai or some bullshit

[apatheticlexicographer]

to be completely honest, the stranger things fandom has damn near ruined the show for me lmfao

You know how earlier this year I read that sapphic romance book about like, the woman who worked at a gym and the love interest who ghosted her fiancé on her wedding day and I hated it and hated pretty much all the characters and found it generally awful in terms of writing and well, everything? God. Everyone was so hateable in that one.

Lol. A month or two ago I got a YA book that I initially didn’t realize was by the same author (although I did learn early on), but it was like. So much better to me than the other, and now I kind of want to read her other YA books too lol. I think I just feel like maybe her writing style suits YA better or something bc whatever the fuck that gym one was was. Uffda. Tbf I was given it for free so I can’t complain a ton but.

Yeah the people in the notes going "obviously the government isn't the people" are missing the point, which is that being white and western and therefore a beneficiary of the colonial order consistently breeds racism and apathy towards the suffering of Black and brown and Global South people. Ireland maybe a little better than the rest of Europe but at the end of the day there's still no incentive to interrogate their privilege. Praising it inordinately for showing the bare minimum of decency allows them to cover up all the ways they're also complicit and uninvested. Give the privileged an inch and they take a mile.

anyway in the past week the irish government has voted down two motions which would have condemned the genocide in gaza.

i need everyone to stop lionising ireland as if its not also a european government with strong ties to the us. american weapons pass through shannon airport and will continue to, because yesterday the motion to stop that was voted down 83 to 50.

other governments have done much more but somehow people still act as though ireland is the ultimate palestinian ally and exempt from criticism on its handling of palestine bc it was once colonised, even though that past experience clearly isnt being taken into account by the irish government when creating policy.

i live here i know there’s a lot of public support and sympathy for palestine, which is great, but that isnt reflected in government, and i think ireland should be treated like other countries whose governments have done nothing.

it's so funny how many people didnt really like or werent into Sponge out of Water

and now these same people are actually giving it a chance and are saying "Hey, this movie isn't half bad"

Sponge Out of Water is underrated. It's not as great as the first movie, but it's better than the third movie.
