the despicable israelis have once again demonstrated their trademarked abhorrent behavior of wanting their people back

[mxttellion]

I'm out of the loop what happened this time?

I'm just reposting @sheriffthompson 's screenshot (stolen from @/orfisheus woops) but i dunno man, why is Matt/beyond as a whole so insistent on disliking fans and making jabs at the fandom when. You know. the fans are the ones keeping your show alive in the first place

just saw a romantic selfship of eri from my hero academia and op is 30

my contribution to the poster collab that never came to be lol

[kirkwallguy]

okay last vague about it. but it's funny for me to mention that it's weird to default to calling someone names and implying they're a bigot for disliking a video game, and then the response was to call me a bigot for disliking taash and swear at me lol.

The internet is fun bc you can say “I love seeing explicitly canon mlm relationships in media” and ppl will say “so you hate lesbians and think sapphic writers should kill themselves?”

[antiterf]

The professor that basically adopted me is also a lesbian that (90% sure) took part in radical feminism when it was at its height.

So when I first talked about terfs with her, she was definitely a bit "oh no" because I started pointing out how the original movement had sections of transphobia as well. Combine that with the fact that a lot of things are called terf rhetoric when it's not terf rhetoric (I've been told that bi-lesbians support terf rhetoric) and the labeling of terf getting thrown around a lot, I'm pretty sure she was like "don't call me a terf." But she also told me that she knew that I can see complexity in things so she more said it out of "please don't take this as a black and white labeling process" more than "I'm gonna be a bit transmisogynistic"

I wanted to talk to her more about it since then, because well... look at the url. This blog has been up since 2017 and my interest in terfs came about before I was even out (2015).

I want to have her input, but I also like to mess with her a bit about it. For instance, my order of two journal issues from Transgender Studies Quarterly came, and one of them is this:

Which I am definitely not going to mischievously pull out of my bag during my next meeting with her/s

Before anyone makes the assumption that she's secretly transphobic with terf rhetoric: I severely doubt it. I may have gotten softer at watching for hints of transphobia since I left my hometown, but my gut says she's safe from the interactions I've had with her and the support she's shown (I mean, my main interests are trans issues and disability, I'm in grad school to study those, she's seen enough of it).

Comments about Rayla's character being ruined in arc 2 are truly something. Like, she's still brave, heroic and badass? what has changed about her? she's nicer, sweeter, more calm, willing to talk, how's that bad?

There's a huge difference between "I liked this character's personality better before" and "this character is ruined because her development doesn't match my preferences"

i was so good at making text post memes when i had ludicrous amounts of free time

All the stock images of the 10th Doctor are. Silly. Like geniune white-backdrop, doing some random pose or expression stock images. Like not "this is the picture png stock image that gets slapped on his wiki and other places" but like the if you Google "stock images of people" it's just that. Except him.

[xceanlynx]

This really isn't an attack on anyone, I just really want to understand this perspective (and I didn't want to hijack any post) so if anyone could be kind enough to explain the difference to me I'd be really really glad

Maybe it's the neurodivergence in me but I do not understand how people divorce the show and it's characters so easily. I've seen people say Boston was treated like that "by the characters, not by the series" but my pea brain just don't get it. Aren't the characters part of the series? Like they aren't real. Everything they do was written by a real person in the production of the series, so any message the characters portray is a message portrayed by the series - to be extremely clear: I'm not saying the series producers have to agree with the message, just that the message was meant to exist.

To me it's like when videogame people say "but Mario didn't let go of Yoshi, the player did" like... yeah? Obviously? But the player is choosing the actions of the character, so in this circumstance they are one and the same...

So like, back to Boston, when people say the characters were being rude/punishing Boston and not the series itself, I don't understand because the series construct what the characters will or won't do, so, in a way, it is the series being rude/punishing Boston alongside the characters. Idk I feel like I'm being really dumb but I'm trying so hard 😭😭

i think rook is like 10x funnier half the time outside of dialogue choices or like in the non funny dialogue choices & that's when they become like really endearing to me honestly im sorry i hate ' protag who's only personality trait is jokes ' trope give me some damn depth

[adglaciem]

idk why we're talking abt old anon hate on the dash but frankly truly honest to god anon hate is just funny esp when it comes to my Big Rules like "why do you hate free speech do you believe in censorship" yes and i do it because i hate you personally can we make out. "let people have fun" what about my fun and my free speech hm. sounds like someone is dangerously close to being a dirty commie anti коммунизм – наша цель коммунизм – наше завтра

deeply unserious discourse frankly. and always on anon too can you please say it with your chest if you feel that strongly about it

[cherrylight]

do you think he misses me........ ? maybe ..... maybe he's upset with me... i don't know. all i know is that he still means so much to me...

i don't know... i'm so bad at gushing about characters that mean a lot to me on here.... i just say things and go into immediate keysmashing... i also don't really follow ho/me/stu/ck anymore... like i haven't followed canon in such a long time so at this point dave's simply full with my own headcanons and interpretations of his character..... however still going by canon because i'm never normal about ANYTHING

i think he's so wonderful.... i think he deserves a lot of nice things... i'm so unsure how talk about him because i am tired.... but he is lovely. i love him. i wish i can do him justice... or write cute silly drabbles about us... but i am terrified of doing anything ever lately... i'm also too distracted and my brain feels like it's going into overdrive.... just so much happening up in there....

i'm sure dave would somehow in his own way sneakily manage to curate a mixtape for me of sounds to ease my mind because it's always constantly buzzing... he'll like just casually offer it to me and act like it's absolutely nothing but is freaking out over it. or something. actually.

i never liked it how people were like "dave freaks out all the time" "dave would do something nice and freak out" or whatever... like yeah he freaks out and in general is too hyper-aware of his surroundings, but i also don't think he'd consistently freak out on offering something because he wants the person to feel better even if he may or may not have a crush on them.... i have too many thoughts about him maybe i can make a post fully about him if i'm brave enough.

he's aloof but also a complete dork, but to me he's always the "casual down-to-earth" type of guy, mostly from his entire speech of him not wanting to be the knight of time and rather be just some guy. so maybe that's why.

talking too much about him. this is my longest post i think... of like any f/o without me feeling like i'm being too much or too annoying.

i just miss him too much. been kind of thinking about him lately. it's okay. i love him to bits. this also feels strange. but it's okay. i need to get out of my comfort zone. i hope dave knows i will love him forever. or something. i don't know. um. i just hope he knows he is my entire world. yeah. my silly crow boy i love you <3

love when people talk about pre-cazador astarion like he was this perfect angel baby that everyone loved as though he wasnt beaten to near death by a minority group.

omg so i went to a museum a couple weeks ago and they have this fun little 'fantasy as a genre' exhibit and the whole schtick is that when you walk in there's 12(?) fantasy archetypes and then exhibit is comprised of like costumes & props from characters that fit each archetype and at the end you can take a quiz to find out which archetype you are.

ANYWAY THE POINT IS i got maiden warrior (examples it gave were eowyn & mulan & xena), and all i thought was "yeah i guess." well i told my dad that and he was like "that's the same one you got when we went to that museum when you were SEVEN"
