I hope the transmeds, the assimilationists, and "gender crits" who, 5 years ago, 3 years ago, hell today who say that "people are just trans for the trend" feel ASHAMED. I hope you feel terrible! I hope you live with the regret of contributing to the rhetoric that ended up in this genocide!!!!
I don't have to tell you how fucking terrible shits been. The laws banning minors from lifesaving HRT. The fact that adults are next looming over our heads. The murders. The bills banning drag queens.
Peddling infighting bullshit got us where? Appealing to cishets and their comfort got us where? Right goddamn here! People are dying! They're bringing back decency laws, they're charging people who abort a pregnancy with MURDER, they're taking away our medical care!!!! Who goddamn cares about transandrophobia or he/him lesbians or bi lesbians or what the fuck ever?!?!?! Who goddamn cares!!!!!
If you're still arguing about what someone can identify with or how they talk about their experience you need to WAKE THE FUCK UP. This is not about one person who has a problematic idea this is about our lives!! Put aside your petty bullshit and get out and do something in person ffs.

as a trans woman longlegs wasnt that deep please hes just a dude with long hair and makeup lmfao
Ok this is the last ask I will answer about this but like. Ok I’m glad you feel that way, not everyone does. And, again, nick cage stated that he played the character to be “androgynous.” Idk what else you think that means but if you didn’t get that vibe I’m glad you can enjoy the movie
I do not care if you like the movie! I am not trying to cancel the movie! Please watch and enjoy it if you like it!! I think everyone should watch it and form their own opinion!! I just think it’s a shit movie with odd undertones and I wanted to complain about it. I’d much rather talk about movies I do like please send me asks about horror I do like…

I’m thinking about “toxic fandoms” and how subjective and ill defined that term is. What makes a fandom toxic? Ship wars? Controversy from the creator? Lack of diversity? Racist or homophobic fans? Problematic ideas? Patterns or trends within the fandom? Interactions with the creator?
Beyond that how can a whole fandom have the same issues? Can you have a non-toxic experience in a so called toxic fandom? Can someone or something that is toxic for one person be non-toxic for another? Are some things more toxic than others? If a fandom changes is it still considered toxic?
Just, what is a ‘toxic fandom’ and why are we still acting like that idea defines a person’s experience in said fandom?

fucking killyourself dude what is wrong with calling out white women who are racist. lindsay ellis is racist in real life too if you fucking read the post you would know and anybody can say tweets are fake. that bitch got a black man harassed over a joke. and you know you cant argue for contrapoints because the proof is right there fucking kill yourself for defending racists and antisemites just because you like their shitty content. sarah z is a grown woman and saying its transphobic to say paedophilia and racism makes you hard is putting everybody in danger including trans people you are so pathetic its unbelievable little bitch i hope you die in a ditch punk ass bitch
SMAP (Sport Music Assemble People) debuted in 1991 but they were actually formed in 1989 as the "skate boys" and we're support dancers to Hikaru Genji on skateboards which is pretty funny considering they were all kinda bad at it. Shingo Katori was still in elementary school (11!)

haiii not to t.ma on main but as much as i'd love to get behind the idea of helen as a character i just like... can't. mostly bc she actively gaslights jon in s5 and there's like 50 metas on how HE'S unreasonable for not trusting her when she has said he doesn't deserve love and that he's a monster like!!
she's meant to seem fun. she's supposed to feel like your silly bestie making snarky commentary. she as a character represents the people who act like your friend so they can gaslight and deceive you. she's the Fake Friend, the one who talks about you behind your back, who makes passive aggressive comments about your appearance. she seems silly and fun because she is lying. that's the point!!
and i'd love that, i would love that take on a character, if!! if the fandom didn't make her a girlboss and act like the person she's gaslighting is unreasonable because she has Girl Power. and yk as a gaslighting victim idk if that's what we should be taking away from her character

Kind of random thoughts on anti/proship camps but I was looking at an example of an anti tweet today -- the text was, ”[x] is 50+ years old, [y] is 16 / this is canon btw. / (you are accidentally a map)”. And I was kind of struck by the weird contrast between how flippant and dashed off the language of the tweet sounds and how serious the accusation is. It’s an almost comical kind of contrast, which made me kind of realize... I think I have some kind of detector trained in my brain on language styles, which is that I tend to think when someone writes in typical English language (the style in which I’m writing this post, with clearly demarcated sentence starts/ends and thoughts that are arranged in a clear argumentative structure, use of punctuation and capitalization to make words easier to separate and grok) by default, I think I tend to assume they are probably a proshipper and conversely, if someone typically posts in lapslock (by this I mean not just leaving the first letter of a sentence uncapitalized but not capitalizing anything, smooshing sentences together into a long stream of words, low amount of punctuation and high amounts of abbreviation like u, ur, ppl, thx, btw, etc., and typos left in), my credence that they’re an anti goes up.
Obviously this is definitely not one-to-one, as in, there are plenty of examples of people who fall in one camp and default write in the other style, but I do think there’s some kind of clustering/correlation here at least? Or is that just me / what I’m seeing in my neck of the woods?
If I’m right that there is some kind of correlation between writing style and proship/anti position, I wonder why that would be. I’ve come up with four possible explanations:
1. It’s just marking a generational difference. How we type on the internet is probably a pretty strong function of the year we first started using the internet,  because the mental model of what the internet is and how you’re supposed to communicate on it has probably changed over time. Like you know how older people will sometimes treat writing emails as the same as sending someone a letter? It’s like that -- the era you started using the internet probably influences what mode of writing you view as natural to use on websites. So people in my generation, for example, grew up on Web 1.0 and viewed websites as a kind of electronic way of publishing writing similar to newspaper articles or books and so we default to that style when writing. Proship/anti positions correlate with age and so writing style correlates with proship/anti membership.
2. Same as above with a slightly different explanation: It’s just marking a generational difference but in particular it’s a result of how the internet has changed over time in a way that punishes or incentivizes different writing styles. People who grew up on the Wild West Internet are used to more privacy due to things being very decentralized/fragmented and lack of professionalized social media accounts. People who grew up on modern social media, though, are more used to a kind of Panopticon Internet where everything you do and say is highly visible and extremely scrutinized. Therefore, the informal lapslock maybe developed as a way of signalling “this is a very dashed off thought, there is very little editing happening between when I thought it and when I posted it (if any at all) please don’t take this post seriously. in fact if you take this obviously jokey post too seriously that just makes YOU look bad.” It’s a kind of irony and visible lack of editing as a defense mechanism against people attacking you or drawing you into a serious, prolonged argument that you have no interest in engaging in. So the internet environment might be affecting writing style, and what kind of internet you were socialized in could therefore affect that? So here again, the correlation between proship/anti position and writing style could just be tracking age.
3. Rather than tracking age, writing style is just tracking social networks. Antis tend to hang out and be friends with antis; proshippers tend to hang out and be friends with proshippers. When you interact with people, especially over an extended period of time, you try to match the way you speak with the way they speak. It’s a bit of socialization which has led to a basically random/arbitrary divergence in communication styles.
4. Writing style and proship/anti position are both maybe the result of something a bit more upstream: personality type. I remember from a long time ago, I came across word clouds that people made featuring words that tend to be associated more with one end of a particular Big 5 personality trait. The word clouds are all fascinating but in particular the anti lapslock style I described at the beginning seems to bear the most resemblance to the word cloud associated with low Openness to Experience, which is plausibly something that could be correlated to anti positions too (although obviously I have zero evidence to support this). (I don’t think it’s fair to say people with low openness to experience are unintelligent and also I don’t think it’s fair to say people who misspell words or use a lot of abbreviations and shorthand don’t know how to spell words out or couldn’t do it if they had to; in fact, I think it’s a purposeful affectation. But I do think it’s fair to say that people with low openness tend to be less introspective/reflective and also dislike getting new information that could change their opinion and the lapslock style similarly conveys (intentionally) a lack of any particular introspection or nuance that would come from deeply considering a subject and editing one’s words before posting.) A bit farfetched but it does make me wonder if proship/anti positions have any correlation to personality traits, and I kind of wish someone would investigate this.
So anyway, this is just a weird phenomenon I noticed, and I’m wondering if anyone has also noticed the same thing and if any of my explanations sound plausible if so.

I’m gonna say this somewhere so I can mark it before people eventually turn. I hate The Dare. His lyrics are BORING and BAD and he’s UGLY!!!! The beats are admittedly good but those are the only things keeping his hype alive rn like I can’t believe TikTok would hype up this mid white gu— wait. Never mind.

One of my favorite things about catholic v protestant discourse is when people refuse to admit the idea that there could be like…overlap? Like not even just in general doctrine or w/e but like I see posts that are like
“Protestants don’t do Lent” (it depends on the church/person ofc, and typically there are different rules than the Catholics have, but absolutely it’s still a thing)
“Protestants don’t care about saints” (although most don’t particularly pray to the saints or whatever, I have known Many protestants who definitely care, including some who have iconography of certain saints or find other ways to connect with them. They dont necessarily hold the same status as they do with catholics but that doesn’t mean all protestants completely ignore their existence)
“Catholic churches are the ones with stained glass windows” (ik this is usually a joke but it still irks me a little every time I see it lol. Like yes if you walk into a church and there are no stained glass windows it is probably more likely to be protestant than catholic but I have seen catholic churches without stained glass and I’ve seen many protestant churches with it)
“Catholics drink wine and Protestants drink juice for communion” (semi true but an over simplification. Can’t speak too much on the catholic side of this one. Also, if you’re in specifically a Methodist church it will almost definitely be grape juice. Other protestant churches, it’s really kind of a crapshoot for what you’ll get. Also, the reason for this is because “grape juice” (at the time it was actually non alcoholic wine) was popularized for communion by doctor and Methodist minister Thomas Welch. Quite a few Methodists I know are actively annoyed by other protestants using grape juice for communion bc they think it’s a methodist thing. (That’s also dumb, but a different kind of dumb). Also, yes, if you’re familiar with Welch’s Grape Juice, it comes from the same guy)

hey uhhh, i might say something a little controversial, but i feel this needs to be said, since i’ve been seeing some minors discourse about it on my feed.
18+ and mdni pages should not have to cater to children. they put those warnings and those banners for a reason, simply because they do not want children on their page reading their shit. i’m aware most kids won’t heed those warnings, anyway, but it’s also for the adult’s comfort & safety as well. i don’t know about you, but i’d be pretty uncomfortable knowing a 13-14 year old was reading my fics and they were pure porn / smut. when i was a young teenager ( around that same age ), i didn’t heed those warnings and it only worsened my hypersexuality.
i’m not saying that this is the adult’s fault by any means, because like i said, children should not be going into adult spaces or blogs that request for no minors to be on there. but it’s concerning seeing minors discourse and argue about it on my feed, saying shit like "adults need to tag their fics with mdni, you don't know what 11 year old could go on your blog and read that" newsflash, we shouldn’t be catering to kids we literally don’t fucking know. don’t get mad at an adult for writing sex and then proceeding to yell at said adult writer because they’re not "considering" how a minor could stumble across their page. it’ll happen regardless, sure, but we aren’t babysitters. the most we can do is block minors, and put the warnings. and either way, the argument is weird because why are you trying to defend someone who’s under the age of 13 stumbling onto those things. adult writers on tumblr shouldn’t be babysitting those damn kids, parents should be monitoring what their kids see and don’t see anyway?? 😭
tldr umm don’t villainize adult writers for not wanting kids reading their smut and don’t state that adult writers on tumblr are bad ppl for not watching / monitoring every kid on tumblr to make sure they don’t read their stuff. minors should be respectful of the boundaries these blogs put up. i’m aware minors will always end up reading it regardless, but you shouldn’t be getting mad at the adult for what they’re posting when they gave the proper warnings. they don’t cater to strangers on the internet.
sorry i’m yapping i just thought this argument was a lil strange and its probably controversial idfk

Hey ngl I am not enjoying the discourse about Misako and Garmadon and who’s the sad puppy dog oh so owo traumatised little flower parent and who’s absolutely down right evil rot in hell forever leaking fuming bag of toxic waste parent.
I asked my boyfriend if I should post this and he said I should write a conclusion. And I’m thinking about this. What’s my actual opinion on them? Who’s the better parent? Who’s the worst? Has Lloyd ever a good parental figure ever?? IS THERE ANY DECENT PARENTAL RELATIONSHIPS IN THIS SHOW (jk Ed Edna and Cyrus Borg y’all are doing great).
And yknow I hate the Misako vs Garmadon bc it feels like some of you act like the only reason people hate Misako is because they just hate to see a woman on the screen. But like. No. I disagree. I mean not totally, some people do let misogyny affect their opinions on things. But like, it’s almost as bad to act like the horrendously awful writing of Misako as a character just didn’t happen. It’s horrendous BECAUSE of misogyny (and the fact that the show is not written well in a lot of places anyways).
Misako spends a whole fuckin lot of of her time in the show in the most sexist era of Ninjago, and then doesn’t really get much development after that. Her memorable moments are literally coming back after having no contact with Lloyd, flirting with Wu a lot, being Lloyd’s mother, being a researcher, flirting with Garmadon and like being his wife, getting kidnapped a few times, the letter, and uhhh being a little sassy? As I was saying this I realised I could probably list every detail we get on her in the show. It’s that little. And can we agree, I’m not saying she’s evil and should have chosen to be well written. I’m saying she’s clearly a badly written character mostly used to prop up other characters arcs, and that’s the fault of the writers. Like you can justify some of what she did but it’s not presented in that way bc the writers don’t put in the time to make her compelling.
So why the hell are we comparing “might as well replace her with a trophy for a poetry competition” Misako with characters who were less neglected by the writers. And why are we surprised when people don’t like her compared to a character who the writers put more effort into telling a more compelling redemption, a character who we get on screen for a whole season during his time as a reformed villain, a character who we see spending time with Lloyd much more than Misako. In comparison Misako spends a lot of her scenes holding hands with Wu, hanging out with Wu, like where’s the mother son bonding road trip?? We don’t get a season where Misako tags along with the protagonists and I wish we did but we do get that with Garmadon (twice) and it’s s3 and 4 and she spends those seasons with Wu (and like Wusako is not popular bc their relationship was framed as romantically inclined and she was still living and presented as married with Garmadon at the time so likeeee)
I’m not saying Misako is a worst parent, I’m saying her relationship with her son is not as fun or as enjoyable and that’s why people don’t like her as much. Not necessarily because everyone is a misogynist. But because not everyone is about to reconstruct a Misako with good writing just to enjoy her more.
Have we considered that liking Misako is a spectrum, almost because the writers gave us nothing for her and we’re all just filling the blanks. Some people are projecting hard. Some people are projecting their abandonment issues onto Lloyd. Some people are projecting the struggle of parenthood onto Misako. Some people didn’t think at all about her. Some people only like her out of spite of how annoying it is to only see Misako haters. Some people only like her because she’s one of the scarce female characters of the show and it’s fucking rough. I wish there were more people who liked women as characters tho. Like tbh it still kinda feels like we’re still stuck with the same single archetype for how we see women. Sexy badasses who snark and kiss other women. Tbh I feel like most of the fandom just projects onto characters and that’s why Ninjago discourse feels so vicious bc people are fighting for their lives that they have stitched into their image of their favourite Lego and I’m getting very off topic what was I talking about??
Uhh anyways I like Misako and I hate Misako I feel like all her haters and her stans and the show writers and the myself are wrong about her in some way. I think I’m tired of the debate of whether she’s a good mum, we should be talking about what her favourite food is and it’s probably soup she probably puts it into a flask to take on her work adventures I DONT REMEMBER WHY I STARTED WRITING OH WAIT IT WAS THE GARMISAKO PARENTLYMPICS.
Neither Garmadon and Misako are better than each other. I’m gonna blow your minds rn but write this down if you care about traumatic parent child relationships (so like if you’re gonna write an angsty Lloyd fic). But when your grow up in an abusive household, there’s a high likelihood your parents aren’t clones of each other but instead bad in different ways.
(Tw: I traumadump to you about my not great parents. Skip past the italics)
One of my parents is emotionally unstable and immature and yet more in touch with me emotionally, my other parent is neglectful and has unsatisfiable expectations of me and yet she doesn’t verbally abuse me.
One isn’t worse than the other and worrying about who is worse often ends up minimising the damage the other causes. Why does one have to be worse when it’s more accurate to describe the experience as “they’re bad in their own way”. The “who is worse” debate is definitely something people from broken households ask themselves and I think we can definitely explore Lloyd’s character in terms of that, but there’s no actual answer. You can’t put a number on trauma and I personally don’t think we should be trying to. Goodbye black and white thinking, hello to messy and complicated, as most bad parental relationships are.
I don’t think Misako and Garmadon are great or justified in what they did, and I don’t think they were terrible or that Lloyd shouldn’t have forgiven them either. I wish we got more development for both of them (Misako more tho bc the writers are bitches) and I wish people didn’t ignore either her characterisation as a loving character as well as her characterisation as a once distant one (and then hinge their opinion of Garmadon as a comparison.).
Idk. Idk what this post was I’ve just always been annoyed at other people in the Misako fight club, some people get way too one way about her, like some of y’all get mean about her I think. I opened tiktok once just to feel like the anger was warranted. Idk she’s not my favourite character and I feel like that’s not allowed bc people act like the only way you could hate her is because you’re sexist and I disagree. But I like her as a character that I can get mad at and then forgive. She’s so interesting. She’s not evil she’s complicated I like having complicated feelings about her. That’s the most compelling part of her in my opinion. I’m a Misako hater and a Misako enjoyer and I’ve thought too much about her and that has to count for something
Now. No one is allowed to read one line of this post and then act like I’m taking away freedom of speech or that I hate women or take a fraction of this and get overly angry. This is due to the fact that this is my opinion. The penalty for doing this is that I take your tumblr profile pic and photoshop it into a garbage bin and I will show it to my boyfriend and we will laugh.
There are so many different points in this post and like it feels like this could be five separate posts but oh well. Send post.

oooh   !!   tag  me  in,  coach,  because  I  am  definitely  catching  what  @rockstarfighter is  throwing. 
listen,  female  canon  muses  already  get  the  short  end  of  the  stick  ,   but  don’t  get  me  started  on  female  ORIGINAL  CHARACTERS.  lord  have  mercy. 
within  my  time  on  tumblrmania  5000  ,  I  have  noticed  that  female  muses  get  shat  on  like  it’s  pavement  ,  and  muns  of  female  muses  and  female  ocs  have  to  work  a  little  (  lot  )  harder  to  gain  interactions.  there  have  been  so  much  discourse  and  disdain  towards  female  ocs  and  YIKES  ON  A  BIKE  ,  we  just  trying  to  write  ,  folks  ! 
I  have  been  there  ,  and  I  have  seen  it.  I  have  seen  muns  get  bullied  off  of  tumblr  or  forced  to  stick  to  canon  muses  or  close  themselves  off  because  of  mean  ,  nasty  anons.  me  personally  ,  I  just  can’t  write  male  muses  ––  it  makes  me  severely  uncomfortable  because  uhhh  .  .  .  I  can’t  think  like  a  man  so  writing  a  male  muse  ––  I  wouldn’t  be  able  to  do  him  justice  and  I  damned  sure  wouldn’t  be  confident. 
I  say  all  of  that  to  say  this  :  love  the  hell  out  of  your  female  muses  ,  oc  or  canon  .  give  them  that  glow-up  ,  make  them  as  badass  or  as  demure  or  as  loud  or  as  quiet  or  a  combination  as  much  as  you  please  .  pour  into  your  muse  :  if  people  see  you  are  passionate  about  them  ,  they’ll  gravitate  to  it  and  if  not  ,  you’ll  damned  sure  find  someone  who  will  !   don’t  water  down  your  muse  for  anybody  ,  and  keep  that  damned  crown  on  her  head  ! 
I  LOVE  THE  HELL  OUT  OF  EVERY  FEMALE  MUSE  Y’ALL  GOT.  WE  STRONG  ON  THESE  STREETS.

And if you want to see me re-re watch random episodes after doing weed, I keep reblogging this post in order to do that, so uhhh look in the notes? Personally I think those posts are funny as hell sometimes
And you can see progress on my Catra cosplay (and photos of the whole thing once it’s done) here
I know I have a few posts that have gone semi-viral and/or have tens of thousands of notes, and I talk about them in the readmore:
EDIT: ON A RELATED NOTE:
for the love of god if you screenshot one of my tumblr posts to put it on facebook (looking at you vellum and vinyl you have done this twice lol) or twitter or whatever, please for gods sake mark out my username
I really do not want to change my tumblr name because I've had it since 2012, but also I do not need people finding my tumblr, yes I know it's my own fault for having a name/icon/account that is painfully obviously me but like, c'mon
If you got to my blog via my post about rayon: it's just a minor hyperfixation of mine, I rarely blog about that kind of thing. I'm actually not real fussed about "sustainable fashion," I own plenty of polyester and WAY too many clothes--but I do try to take good care of those clothes and make them last. I just get pissed off when people try to pass off "bamboo" or "eucalyptus" as anything other than rayon. (I like rayon. I shouldn't have to use fifty search terms to find soft socks.)
"Why is your queer love post not rebloggable" hahhhhhh well. Browse the notes sometime. But also I explain a bit more here.
Landlord discourse: Hi, I'm not an expert on affordable housing or anything, I just know that The Rent is Too Damn High, and housing is a human right. I got pissed off, I ranted, it blew up.
"The first link on your boobs post leads to a super problematic website" yeah I didn't realize that until it was too late and there's jack shit I can do about it now, sorry.
If you found my blog via a screenshot of a post about no-fault divorce or that bonsai apple: where the fuck are people still finding those lolol
