Who’s trial’s lasting the longest?

Imo, it’s Jinx’s simply out of Vi’s sheer willpower.

I ran across your blog while looking at outlander fan blogs and was blown away ppl are so obsessed about his private life. It’s just weird to see adults so wrapped up in that. Reading through your blog caught my attention because you seem completely obsessed so I wondered how a person gets there. That level of obsession seems unhealthy, to the point you’ve felt emotionally damaged by a person you don’t know. & I just wondered how in the world that happens. Also...you didn’t answer my ?

you know why I didn’t answer your question? because you came off and are coming off sounding like a judgmental, condescending prick. but you know why I am going to answer your question? because I’ve had a shitty day and I need to take it out on someone. karma’s about to be a bitch!

since you know nothing about me but are fine making broad sweeping assumptions based on my blog, let me tell you a fun fact about my life. In my non-tumblr, apparently weirdly obsessed life, I’m responsible for the livelihoods of 11 2-year olds. 11 adorable, snotty, drooly, messy, screaming, biting, hitting, grabbing, crying, sassy, talkative, speed demons on tiny legs, sometimes devilish but goddamn are they cute tiny drunk humans 2 year olds. Have you ever been around that many 2 year olds anon? I’d be willing to bet you haven’t. I like to compare it to herding a bunch of cats and/or working in the insane asylum. Here’s another fun fact about my life: Tuesdays in the world of my 2-year-olds always suck. God only knows why, my kids are absolute disasters on Tuesdays. Everything bad that happens during the week happens on Tuesdays. Add to that, the fact that my wonderful associate teacher was out today (fucking jury duty can kiss my ass) so I had an equally wonderful sub but also a sub who isn’t in my class on a regular basis therefore leaving me to do the brunt of the hard work. Long story short?

My day absolutely sucked. I won’t bore you with the details but I left the room to go cry in the bathroom because it was sucking so bad. I’ve never cried at work, in my close to 10 years teaching, but today did me in. I guess I’m officially a teacher or something. 

That brings me back to your obnoxiously asked question of why? Why am I so obsessed with 2 strangers who I don’t know and their love life? You know why? Because it makes me fucking happy. It gives me an escape and goddammit after a day like today, the only thing keeping me from going absolutely batshit was coming on tumblr and laughing at some of the posts I was seeing. I need an escape, I need to come home and veg out and not think about work bc my day is pretty fucking stressful like 80% of the time. I’m not here to complain either bc I’m not a doctor or a firefighter or a cop or Robert Mueller or any number of much more stressful jobs people have and at the end of the day I truly love what I do. But on a day like today Sam and Cait and whatever their relationship is with each other makes me happy. The people I’ve met because of them make me happy. So that’s why I’m obsessed and I feel really sorry for you that you feel the need to judge me for that. I think that says more about you than it does about me. have a good night, anon.

Thanks! Ha ha! are you afraid of people reaction? lol You know I'm SnowBarry from the start ^^ (so much chemistry and trauma in common, he made her smile again, Season1 is so SnowBarry!) but that means I'm insulted of being racist and a nazi on regular basis... and I don't even hate Iris but she's poorly written, she'd have gain to actually be a journalist. Cait is my favorite but I don't like much powered people and KF is poorly written too, a stupid one liner with cold=evil as her motive :/

Ah yes, and this is why I no longer TAG such posts and generally try to fly under the radar. But I do occasionally partake in a a healthy bit of ranting. :)

I have been intimidated in the past by Flash fans. But also, I know who I am, and a lot of these police-shippers don’t know me at all. For all they know, I could be black (I’m not). They have no grounds for calling me racist except for the fact that I don’t ship their fave multiracial couple, even though by the way, QuickWest is supercute, so byeee. 

For instance, I made a post about how I didn’t like the interaction between Cynthia and Cisco and how it felt OOC to me. And suddenly I’m racist and I hate Cisco, aka my favorite character probably in all of the DC verse? Their arguments for why I hated Cisco (who is my fave bae) were unfounded and hurtful.... but there is nothing I can say to a group of strangers who automatically assume they know my thoughts better than I do. If I don’t ship a multiracial couple (west-allen), I’m racist. If I DO ship a multiracial couple (SnowVibe or QuickWest), somehow that ALSO makes me racist? 

You know what I think is racist? seeing a couple, and looking at their skin color and deciding that is the most important aspect or defining characteristic of their relationship, and the only reason someone could have to Not Ship something? Like there are other reasons, Karen. Why do you assume I’m racist? I just happen to ship two bffs together.

(btw, by that logic, if I don’t ship popular white ships like olicity, I guess that means I probably have internalized anti-white racism or something. Or maybe if I ship multiracial couples, it’s just pandering and token shipping and... the list goes on of petty accusations of racism that belittles the real issue that racism actually is. On the OTHER HAND, maybe it’s not always about race and  I just think the writing or characterization or chemistry or some dynamic doesn’t work for any number of reasons. And, even despite not tagging this, I’ll probably even lose followers for this because heaven forbid a white person have the audacity to say shipping can be based on other criteria besides race.)

I don’t really see what you see in snowbarry... otherwise, i would probably ship it... but I get that you ship it so I don’t try to bash it around you. 

Ship safely, folks.----

FANDOM RANT OVER. :)

I the main problem with Iris being a reporter is that, at the moment, the story really doesn’t need a reporter. Everyone loves the flash. The end. So she’s moved over to Team Flash all the time when the show never properly framed her as a part of Team Flash. I can only assume she’s learned fast. And it’s not just Iris. Cait isn’t always needed as a doctor/biochemist so POWERS. Cisco isn’t always needed so POWERS. Even Joe gets more time being the worried dad at Team Flash since crime comes straight to Barry and metas apparently stopped getting caught through CSI work and good detectives.... This is probably because the show has moved past the “This Is Barry’s Origin Story and Training” phase and is now transitioning into a full-time hero story that revolves less around jobs and solving a crime and maintaining hidden secret identities and more around Stopping The Bad Guy 24/7... I see how they want it to be cool and Epic, but it’s a little unbalanced for the narrative. The side business has taken over their lives and everyone around them knows it. They don’t use cops or media... whatever. They just run a science/anti-crime lab that looks for and stops metas... with 2 genius scientists, a CSI Speedster, A Mechanic Speedster (poor Wally the writers don’t know what to do with him), a cop, and a reporter. OKAY. SURE. But like I said I suspend my disbelief because The Flash is fun.

I agree the road to Killer Frost has been bumpy... I’m hopeful it leads to closer Snowvibe... but even still, it’s better than Caitlin The Perpetual Widow.

And I really would have liked to see them build the suspense around regathering Team Flash... OH WELL
