#this is about many things

[milf--adjacent]

People who think getting paid to stay home while others were forced to work their essential jobs during the beginning of the covid pandemic was "the hardest time" or "so traumatic" are literally the weakest, biggest babies of all time. The worst part is all the people who whine about "lockdowns" and "quarantine" also haven't masked since 2022 and the vast majortiy of them don't get vaccinated either. It's like they just don't pay any attention to anyone else, and whatever is happening to them at that moment is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.

one day, the CritRole fandom will be able to tell the difference between an above table (i.e., out-of-character) joke made in a character voice and something that's actually occurring in-character

love it when the autistic experience of not fully belonging anywhere and always being on the fringes of whatever community you find yourself in. of masking to belong even slightly and still knowing that you don’t really Belong and that the people you surround yourself with Don’t Really Care about you and being the butt of a joke you don’t understand and being in your own little bubble, not as a safe space but as a result of being isolated from everyone else because no matter where you are you are autistic and you just can’t belong, is replicated in fandom spaces. in spaces for things you love and enjoy. love that so much

What tf do they put into scientist characters that make them so easy to put into Vore scenarios???

[aniimoni]

I love when homosexuality leads to 90% of the character’s problems

i think people would be happier if they stopped engaging with stuff they know they don't like solely for the purpose of pissing themselves off

[rockrosethistle]

fuck the fanfiction, give me fanarts. We don’t have enough and i’m not talented enough to make more. Get to work people

[berrywinkle]

I always find it strange when media from like the 50s-90s have very little fan content. Especially if they were/are culturally relevant. What do you mean you don’t even reach 1000 fics on Ao3? I can’t even tell if it’s because old forums got nuked or stopped working, or if there genuinely isn’t a big fandom for it across the decades

we're so back oh god we're back

And of course, the worst thing a mentally ill person can be is annoying, right? You deserve to have your comment mocked and your illness trivialised by someone who has worked through their pain enough that it's bearable, and therefore must know all about your pain and everyone else's pain and there's no way they've forgotten what it's like to feel that bad, right? The person saying the mental illness will "go away" if you do some simple self care is obviously in the right and you're taking it too literally just have a shower and you'll get over it. How dare you state something in a slightly dramatic way they found annoying when you felt hopeless. Obviously the person in the right is always the person who states things in a funny way.

i’m at whatever the stage of grief is where you wanna light yourself on fire

[saint-augustines-pears]

Historical context is extremely important and you should not be judging what happened based on modern day biases

[creature-wizard]

Ma'am. Ma'am. That's not a baby in the bathwater. That's a raccoon. And it's got rabies.

[the-worms-in-your-bones]

The thing about me is that I’m normal about stuff

The other thing about me is that I lie

[charcubed]

daily reminder to myself that it’s a privilege to be pissed off when explicitly gay media is poorly executed or just kind of sucks

just because you can sometimes purposefully pretend that bad writing is just due to characters acting a certain way--

(IE: "This mixup of the holiday dates is clearly the author's fault for not paying attention to their own worldbuilding, which isn't even complicated, and she literally just had them correct not even twenty pages ago, but for the sake of my sanity I'm going to pretend this character is just lying to be an asshole")

--does not mean that bad writing is always "the character's fault". And the above "for the sake of my sanity I'm going to pretend this is the character's fault" is for your sake only. It's not to be brought up to defend the writing itself, which you know is filled with inconsistencies and wouldn't know the meaning of "continuity" if it bit them on the nose.

If someone is specifically asking for in-universe explanations for the glaring and painfully obvious continuity errors, then you should feel free to offer all the convoluted explanations you've come up with.

but these are not a substitute for actually acknowledging that the author has made mistakes and there are in fact a ton of continuity errors in the text, not because "it's the character's fault", but because the author wasn't paying attention or didn't understand what they were saying, or just straight up doesn't give enough shits about their own setting to bother with silly things like not screwing up timelines in ways that make no sense. (*cough* Jaxom *cough)

You can come up with in-universe explanations for the continuity errors.

But you shouldn't let those get in the way of admitting "Yes, the continuity errors exist because the author wasn't paying attention/doesn't understand what they're saying/doesn't take their own story seriously/has a problem with making all the protagonists Mary Sues/Ect.".
