Media: here is a realistic sibling relationship that clearly displays the love they have for each other even if they haven't seen each other in ages and were separated by war

Half the fandom for some fucking reason: clearly they hate each other!

Jason who immediately loses respect for people who don't own up to their mistakes vs Annabeth who would rather die than admit she made a mistake

I don't like Criston and I pray for his downfall daily, but "Rhaenyra rejected him once and he won't get over it" is such a wildly reductive description of the incredibly messy and complicated power and class dynamics going on here that I don't even know where to start. Idk why people seem so incapable of hating on him without warping the story to try and make him look worse. You don't need to do that, he looks plenty bad as-is.

Listen with all these new mike wheeler s5 pics coming out it’s due time for some of you to confess that you weren’t mike wheeler stans this whole time

[lala-blahblah]

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

it's really crazy that people don't know that their favorite shows are propaganda

like i am a law and order svu enjoyer and i have watched every inch of criminal minds but you all can see that the cops are made to be likable and they're not actually like that. right?

Lately I've only been wishing to grab a comic about my favorite character and just have a genuinely good time reading it.

Had the extremely upsetting experience of a mutual of like 6 years going off on me for occasionally making posts about supporting Harris because apparently that makes me a g n cide denier who refuses to learn and grow, with all of my views just being assumed not even from what I've told them I believe or what I've posted before, but just because I DON'T post particularly the kind of things they THINK I should be. When I pointed out how much they were just completely assuming about stuff I'd never talked to them about, I was told it doesn't matter what I do in real life or "care" about if I simply disagree with their conclusion and vote for her anyway. Like they were absolutely not sorry for the level of maliciousness they not just assumed of my character, but for some reason thought appropriate to bring directly to me before unfollowing me. No apology whatsoever for how discomforting or upsetting that might be and certainly no acknowledgment that I could disagree with them and still be a good person. I just got another even longer rant about how they fundamentally can't fuck with me because of this one thing, no matter WHAT else I do in my real life (which I pointed out that they do not know), and how I'm directly supporting fascism.

Like seriously what is it about Tumblr that makes people think they know someone based off of occasional posts? There were just such DEEP assumptions they were making of me and going off of very little or absolutely nothing. Around the time I first became mutuals with that person I used to express my personality and beliefs and talk about what was going on in my life a lot more openly, but I've significantly scaled back on doing that in many ways for many reasons. One of my major ones is privacy and the way I've had strangers outside my followers and following circles just find random things I say and dogpile me for it. I was fundamentally changed after some T Fs did that to me like 3 years ago. I also just didn't have many conversations w that person anymore (I message people in general on here like 10x less than I did circa 2018-2019, which I'm somewhat sorry about!). My point is to say I think this person felt comfortable assuming that they knew me, especially who I am in 2024 at the age of 25, much better than they actually did.

One of the specific things they accused me of was being afraid of learning and growing (because I don't perform social media activism on here like they think I should). Like AFRAID to take criticism. When again I've never received criticism from them or had to respond to any criticism on here before as pertaining to my views on... well, absolutely any of the issues they accused me of not caring about. They essentially treated it as if the only thing in the world I cared about was the US election and characterized me as the most out-of-touch liberal they could possibly imagine, because I'm not "pushing" Kamala Harris to be better (Oh?? Should I do that on here?? Does she read my blog??).

And most hypocritically what they said was that I only *sometimes* *vaguely* post pro-Harris things (I often post like 5 or fewer things in a day though?). But here's the kicker. "Because I know I'll get shit for it. And rightfully so."

Really????? Not a single person, anon or not, in my messages or in a tagged post or anything, has ever given me shit before for saying who I'm voting for. I'm actually NOT afraid of "getting shit" for that opinion, I just don't start fights with people who are anti-voting. And why should I??? I genuinely don't believe in trying to change the minds of strangers on the internet about that sort of thing. I'm just not confrontational about it; that is so not the same thing as being "afraid of getting shit." I'm not posting ENOUGH about my support for Harris, therefore I'm afraid. But therefore they can also make all these assumptions about me being their strawman for an ignorant Harris supporter.

I'm afraid of getting shit but I still post anyway? But if I weren't afraid of getting shit I'd be posting a lot more?? This is ALL based on their assumptions of what my blog *should* look like, based on what I really and truly believe. My level of posting every now and then is an accurate gauge of my feelings on complex, sensitive, global issues. Because I'm voting for the Democratic presidential candidate and I'm ok sharing pretty much just that little glimpse of myself.

I really don't think that person knows just how inappropriate and insulting that is to just say all of that to me. Like they really know what's going on in my head. Their first message began and ended with like "I'm sorry I love you I just can't take it anymore" but they clearly weren't sorry enough to try and be more respectful to me, and they didn't love me enough not to default to extremely ungenerous assumptions and attacking me based off of those instead of any actual words I've said that they take issue with.

Online radicalization is real and it's not necessarily bad because your political views can start to fall well out of the contemporary Overton window. The way you find it appropriate to treat people whose views, however common, seem to fundamentally misalign with yours... that does matter. You can't just assume the worst of everyone and then act on that in how you approach them as individuals. And then be shocked that you don't stay friends with them. You can't be confrontational with someone about an issue you've never had an honest conversation about, and then expect them to take your bad faith in them as reasonable well-meaning criticism.

I'm afraid of criticism??? I'm afraid of criticism. No I'm not. This person and I have never had an issue before where they criticized me and I got harshly defensive. It was ALL projection. The entire tone of their messages was as if all their anti-voting posts recently were somehow in communication with the occasional go-vote-for-Harris posts that I make. That's not a conversation. I don't post for your satisfaction. I don't post in "response" to my mutuals I disagree with. I just post what's on my mind, sometimes, about some things. I really again can't stress enough how baffled I am by this

[toasterhasabucket]

You're fate has been decided, the council (two people and myself) has decided that I shall be sharing my opinion and if you disagree you won't tell me, you'll just nod and awkwardly give me a thumbs up, that's the rules.

Now I don't know if you guys know this but I love John he is my special little princesses and I want nothing more than for him to be happy, that being said, of course I have thought about him in a human form.

John is in almost every episode so a lot of people already have an opinion on what he looks like or what he'd look like human, so I am only slightly worried I will be bashed with rocks if my depiction of him is not in favor of the majority. I love him and I don't want to feel like I did him dirty, but i personally think that my thoughts on what he looks like is decent. (If you don't like it first, just wait, it grows on you I swear.)

I have been told that my depiction of human him looks like an evil twink/ bored out of his mind, and I think that checks out, yea. Seems accurate enough (just roll with it)

"well actually 🤓☝️-" hush beastly creature im right and you're wrong. Yes yes he's more 1920s then 1913 but that's just how I see him. When he speaks to John I always imagine him with a straight face unless he's really upset or saying "-gasp-.... ORThur..." But other then that I think he's stone faced.

(look at his crown, look at it, I picked that one picture only because of the crown, he's my little princess and I would die for him)

I think he's a pleasant little man and I'd like to shake his hand and bring him to the movies, unlike somebody. His initials are Arthur Lester.

Fair warning if you disagree with me, seven days. You will have seven days to live. Less if you bash me, you will have seven minutes.

Also this is me reading the tags on the Kayne post, I live for all the reposted tags. This is me eating up the tags.

[happywitchesofnewdi]

I'm sorry are you telling me Switch have matching Teddy Bears?? 😭😭😭

I was already obsessed with the fact that Sora had handmade dolls of the three of them that Tsumugi made for him. Why are they so precious!!!

Unpopular opinion but…

“Tyler was a severely mentally ill and neglected teenage boy who was groomed, tortured and manipulated into succumbing to the sociopathic urges of Laurel Gates and his biological alter-ego of which he held little control over when given explicit orders. He cannot be held wholly accountable for his actions, even those committed by his own free will as Laurel’s manipulation took advantage of his deeply set vulnerabilities long before Wednesday came to Nevermore, and therefore he is deserving of forgiveness”

and

“Tyler lied to, manipulated, lead on and attempted to kill Wednesday despite her rarely granted trust in him. We don’t know what level of autonomy he possessed while under Laurels command but the confession scene at the sheriff’s station implies that he was able to confess the truth of who he was and what he’d done. Therefore, although most of his evil deeds were him following orders, some actions still remain his own and he needs to acknowledge and repent for that. He had opportunities to confess to Wednesday and didn’t. He was, to an extent, working with Laurel against Outcasts. And he should not have pursued a romantic relationship with Wednesday no matter his intentions (and especially if he actually liked her and didn’t pursue her as part of Laurels plan). And for these reasons Wednesday isn’t at all obligated to forgive him as Tyler’s trauma doesn’t and shouldn’t negate her own.”

are statements that can and should coexist.

Tyler is a very complex character that has done terrible things but that’s what makes him interesting!

I know I’m a Wenclair shipper and therefore that’s probably why I tend to only see people hating on him. But I think exploring the nuisances of his character and his relationship with Wednesday (and to an extent Enid after their fight in ep.8) is an underrepresented part of this side of the fandom. I don’t see them as romantic (though it’s totally valid if you do!) but I’m excited to see them interact going forward simply because there is so much to unpack there. And I wish more people were on board with that.

(shaking you, wailing, frothing at the mouth, etc.) miguel is a heavily-traumatized person and. like. i really just cannot stress enough that that influences just So Much Of How He Acts, man.

one thing that is funny about m.arner fans though is that they ARE convinced that he is the first player ever to suffer from misogyny in hockey culture when don c.herry and his ilk have been calling euro players pussies derogatorily for time immemorial
