#when i say i'm tired...

[jackabbot]

wait what's happening now?

just in broad strokes; some people are whining that buddie shippers dare to say that "there is no heterosexual explanation for this" as if that's not what every shipper has said about their ships ever and i really don't understand where this need comes from to "disprove" other shippers by writing lengthy pieces about other examples that don't actually have anything to do with the show, but whatever i'm tired of this...

on the other side; someone — who i presume to be no older than 19, so not worth my or anyone's time or energy, really — complained about how masc4masc ships are overdone (??) and basically saying they need all mlm ships to be heteronormative to be enjoyable (cuz yk some people can't project onto masc characters cuz of gender essentialism, but that's an entirely different convo) all this wrapped into a shiny ship war bow

this fandom is a sad joke atp

I want more female characters who are just so bad at comforting others. Not for lack of trying or caring, they just get so so awkward when someone's upset, and they try to repeat things they've heard even if it doesn't necessarily apply to the situation, or they accidentally say the wrong thing and make it worse. If someone cries they panic and throw every single comfort technique down at once and it only helps because it's such bizarre behaviour

This post is for all women including trans women and op loves trans women. Terfs kill yourselves

Hot take and not to be a killjoy or the shipping police but people treating Viktor or Jinx's aroace headcanons as if they were canon is not the revolutionary take people think it is.

Headcanons are always all right but we have to acknowledge that they are somehow damaging when they apply to stereotypes. It might not be the case for everyone but most of the time people unconsciously assume that disability/mental illness=asexuality. These headcanons erase the freedom of attraction from people who are already seen as unable to have sexual/romantic experiences/desires, when it's completely untrue and harmful.

You can headcanon Viktor and Jinx as aroace, but I have seen people changing their minds once Viktor is no longer disabled (s2 with all of his other forms) and Jinx is no longer as mentally ill (alternate universe Powder). And it speaks wonders of how people see these characters.

"I never thought about Jinx being able to feel romantic/sexual attraction until s2!" To believe she's actually only capable of that when she's not "damaged" is incredibly disturbing. Especially since Jinx has always had a bit of a flirty personality too.

"I've always seen Viktor as asexual, I don't know why!" That's fine. You can headcanon him as ace. But I believe there is a reason behind it, most of the time, if for some inexplicable reason the "vibes" of the disabled character are making you think he's ace.

I say all of this being aroaspec myself, by the way. Headcanon all you want but going to people's posts commenting how "it's weird for you that they have romantic/sexual plots when they're clearly aroace" is not a win at all. It's a headcanon, after all, and it should be treated as such, and that's fine. But it also is damaging to spread stereotypes like these.

Of course the disabled character is asexual. Of course the mentally ill character is aromantic. It's not as revolutionary as you might think, tbh.

Fandom is not activism and it's all right to have any headcanons you want BUT some of them are filled with damaging stuff and perhaps we should look into ourselves more before treating these assumptions as something canon.

Danny was tired, like 'I feel it in my bones and soul' tired. And he didn't want sleep at home because there's only so many nights, he could spend lying awake making sure his heart was beating in case his parents checked on him.

Currently he was flying aimlessly not really taking in his surroundings, but he could neither sleep while flying or fly forever. Normally he'd sleep over at Sam or Tucker's, but the Mansons had made it clear that he wasn't welcome at their house anymore and Tucker was grounded. Both would sneak him in if he asked, but he didn't want them to get in trouble for him. Which leads him to decide between his two choices, sleeping in a graveyard, or sleeping in a forest.

The graveyard was a little crowded with all the ghosts that called it home but he could probably find a quiet spot to sleep. The forest had a great view of the stars but was filled with traps from both his parents and the GIW after tracking his ecto-signature. Both options weren't appealing, but he wasn't about to chance sleeping on the roof of his house again. There were too many ghost detecting guns attached to it now. Danny sighed, graveyard it was, at least the ecto from all the shades/ghosts would hide him well enough. Decision made, now all he had to do was make his way over there. But first, where the heck was he? Danny looked around at the unfamiliar grey sky and gargoyles littered around and realized he had no clue where he was. He must have flown too far away from Amity without noticing...Again. It was really becoming a bad habit. Danny stared down at the city's inhabitants that were going home or heading to nightshifts or whatever and dreaded the long flight back to his town. And maybe it was ghost instinct, or maybe it was just his exhaustion. But his brain suggested 'What if I just possess someone?' And to him that seemed like a perfectly logical train of thought. He wouldn't control their body or anything, just sleep in their skin...That did not make it sound better at all. Before he could think twice, someone left a general store, arms filled with stuff and somehow projecting an aura of safety. The two thoughts of 'They look comfy' and 'screw it' clashed together in his head as he made the very stupid decision of performing a swan drive right into the someone. "WHAT THE-" "Don't worry, I'll be gone by morning I just need to sleep" Danny cut off the persons freakout-he should really get their name at some point- he would have explained more but the sleep gods had already done their job. This left one very confused, scared, and freaked out Batkid.

Bumblebee is definitely the crazy cat equivalent of a Cybertronian when it comes to humans. He has had like six different humans already? So imagine them all existing at the same time.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Optimus: Bee don't do it.

Bumblebee slowly reaching for Raf: (⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ⁠)

Optimus: Put him back you already have five humans already.

*Bumblebee grabs Raf and speeds off with him*

Optimus: Sigh.

Ratchet: We need to have an intervention that boy is addicted.

Optimus: No-

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

*Bumblebee cuddling with all his humans*

Prowl: Ugh.

Bumblebee: You wanna go bitch? I won't hesitate to blast your fragging face off.

Prowl: Primus calm down.

Bumblebee: That's what I thought. Jealous fragger....

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Optimus: Primus give me strength.

Arcree: What's he doing now?

Optimus: Apparently buying matching Christmas sweaters for him and his charges.

Arcree: The human holiday? Isn't that five cycles away?

Ratchet: That's what I said!

Ratchet: You know an intervention is still on the table.

Optimus I'm too tired for this bs: Stop.

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

If you're wondering how everyone rides in bee: Charlie gets driver seat privileges, Raf has shock gun, Spike is in the truck, Russell is wedged between Alex and Sari in the back, with Sam on the roof.

if you're an american commenting on a post asking people to take political action and you say something along the lines of "what's even the point? it won't do anything" while offering no realistic alternative, please know that reacting to the current situation by rolling over and treating it as inevitable and unfixable makes you no better than any of the invertebrates in congress who are allowing it. you need to do at least a little bit of the easiest kind of pushing back. I'm done being nice. if you can't grow up and start doing the bare minimum required of an adult in a democratic society, then at the very least shut up and be useless in silence. I'm completely serious.

[zarla-s]

Both Kabu and Larry have resting grump faces but they're misleading! Kabu's very friendly and laughs easily, and Larry is polite (if very tired) and even treats you to a meal after you beat his gym. It's just very cute to me.

I wish people could understand that both Babe and Charlie are two emotionally-stunted people who grew up without love, who both are in their first romantic relationship and have zero idea what the fuck they're doing. They don't have parental models for how to show love, how to foster trust, or how to communicate openly and effectively.

Babe's dad made a mistake and decided the best way to deal with it would be to fake his death and never talk to his son again. Charlie was literally locked in a room for most of his childhood.

Babe triggered Charlie's childhood trauma by joking about moving onto someone else. Charlie triggered Babe's childhood trauma by faking his death.

Their relationship has been volatile from the very beginning. They broke up like three times in the first season ffs. They have both hurt each other, and they are both going to keep hurting each other, because their story is about two deeply imperfect people trying to make it work without any idea of what "making it work" looks like.

I don't know why parts of the audience are so insistent on finding someone to blame, instead of just trying to understand where these characters are coming from. Like I'll be honest with y'all, I'm not a CharlieBabe shipper, I have little emotional investment in them, but I think their story is such a good example of ways that trauma can inform our actions and our words beyond "hyperventilating in the fetal position," and I wish ppl cared more about that than about who deserves to be cancelled.

I've said it once and I'll say it a hundred times, there is more to media criticism than just saying what you dislike, and someone offering an explanation for a character's actions isn't "shutting down criticism," it's just them expecting you to care more about character analysis than making zingy one-liners.
