Me: "Homelander is an actor."
Some bozo: "Ugh??? Are you stupid??? Homelander's a fictional character played by Antony Starr!!! Is this a joke???"
Me, staring at Homelander's page on The Boys fandom wiki:
Me: "No. I mean, Homelander is canonically an actor. He's very good at acting. Do you think he was portraying his most genuine self when he lied his ass off about the plane crash? No! He was acting.
"There is Antony Starr, the real life actor who plays Homelander, the fictional character who plays The Homelander, the fictional character's fictional all-American heroic persona which he (Homelander) displays not just on camera but when out in public.'
"His annual birthday save is not Homelander, himself, going out to rescue someone. It is Homelander playing the part of The Homelander going out to save someone as a publicity stunt."
#the boys#sorry#i just got a comment from someone#who was treating me like an idiot#because i described homelander as an actor#and even after i explained that i wasn't making a joke#and that i was just genuinely stating that homelander is an actor#they continued to act like i was making some joke#or that i was just plain stupid#and it's like#my g-d#the reading comprehension#fucking hells

i don't really like confessions blogs because i feel like they just fuel the fire for fandom discourse but ngl i agree with pretty much everything that's been posted on the is*t one so far so i'm okay with it for now lol 👍
#bwark#like i said it before that s*floop just doesn't really hit for me when it comes to see them romantically#and i feel like there is this expectation to ship them#SPOILER TAG INCOMING I DON'T WANT TO SPOILER TAG THIS SO THIS IS YOUR WARNING:#/#//#///#////#/////#i just can't get behind selfcest at all i think. not like as a moral thing because i think people who have it on their dnis are weird#just it doesn't appeal to me#ik i'm saying that when emery and i have a running joke about us being the same people because we think so alike but ultimately obviously we#are different people and not actually the exact same person#and like i still support the ship at a distance for my mutuals who ship it but tbh i think those two being some secret 17th thing is far#more interesting#also the ''loop joining the party feels forced'' anon is so real too. im sorry but i cannot see loop ever seeing siffrin's party the same#way they viewed their own#the best take though was the one about how a lot of post-loop fan content feels very infantilizing to siffrin#fucking THANK YOU jesus christ this shit drives me mad#there's being concerned and protective and then there's constant helicoptering around him and treating him like a child#and so many fics fall into the latter#in a similar vein i personally hate when it feels like a lot of people give siffrin the idiot ball#like.......they're forgetful not clueless??? there's a difference????

idk why, but this little throwaway line from beviin makes me crazy. it's so effortlessly compassionate in the face of boba's self-loathing and resigned certainty that beviin will hate him for what he's done. and like, beviin's gentle reassurance that he isn't going to "find out" anything; he'll just wait for if/when boba wants to share what happened.
beviin's genuinely such a mensch. i want to give him a hug.
#goran beviin#boba fett#legacy of the force#fett feels#i love how beviin has spent most of his life adopting and rehabilitating traumatized orphan kids#so every time boba comes at him with his own psychological damage beviin just effortlessly parries that shit without even blinking#GET UNCONDITIONALLY LOVED AND ACCEPTED IDIOT#GET ABSOLUTELY CHERISHED#i also just love beviin looking at this guy who's viewed by much of the galaxy—and also by himself—as an unfeeling‚ inhuman monster#and being like ''is anyone going to treat that with patient kindness and gentleness? no? guess it's gotta be me then''

one reason i was never that impressed with the vikings as a child is because i learned that they thought women who died in childbirth didn’t get to go to valhalla. like what the real ass fuck are you talking about, of course women who die in childbirth go to valhalla. what is wrong with you
#anyway that’s why i decided to fixate on ancient egypt instead#who also treated women bad but as a youth i didnt learn any trivia#that shocked and outraged me like that#women who die having babies go to hel#get the fuck out of here with that#idiots

Saying that non-conforming female characters don't face as much misogyny as their "feminine" counterparts is so funny cause literally the misogyny in their treatment is more overt because they aren't staying "in their place" like men think they should. The disdain for women + misogynistic societal ideals are so much more blatant in male characters interacting with these women. Countless times they are, in essence, told they need to sit down, shut up, and know their place but somehow that translates into them having "masculine privilege". I can only assume that people with this take haven't actually read the books and only get their information from second-hand sources.
#Men actually love it when the group they're oppressing doesn't conform with their restrictive measures that's exactly how things work 🙄#George saying that his non-conforming female characters were outcasts was really just overkill cause this is explicitly stated in the books#It's such a stupid take to have or try to argue cause there's literally no basis for it anywhere in the books#the inherit misogyny in othering women for not conforming to a misogynistic and patriarchal society though...I have to laugh#Coming from the so-called feminists in fandom make a career of throwing female characters under the bus to prop up their faves#Brienne literally gets told not to go crying if she gets raped because she's asking for it by /acting like a man/#and her mistreatment by both genders for her looks and behavior is well documented in her POV and those who interact with her#Asha gets denied her claim for being a women and repeatedly treated like an idiot for pushing for it anyways#Arya is an outcast in her own family and her behavior is lamented by her father mother and sister lol#I would just really like to know where this supposed privilege comes in??? where is it actually at??#cause it doesn't get them better treatment...better access to their claims...security from being assaulted...so where exactly is it?#just another fandom idea that can never be backed up but people treat like an absolute fact anways#obligatory this isn't me that feminine female characters don't face misogyny cause people love misinterpreting my points#asoiaf#brienne of tarth#asha greyjoy#arya stark#daenerys targaryen#fandom nonsense

Gaza is NOT an excuse to sit out this election
I don't usually post about politics on this blog (if anything I try to avoid it since I know it can be a distressing topic) but, to be honest, the upcoming U.S. presidential election has me concerned.
This is going to be one of, if not THE most globally consequential election of our time, and I have been deeply perturbed to see people spreading sentiment that sitting this vote out (or even voting for Trump) is justified by the Democratic Party's handling of the genocide in Gaza.
I was going to write a post about why I think that's really dangerous and irresponsible rhetoric, but then U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders came out and said the same things far better so I'm going to share his video, and some key quotes:
youtube
"SOME of you are saying: "How can I vote for Kamala Harris if she is supporting this terrible war?" And that is a very fair question. And let me give you my best answer. AND that is that, even on this issue, Donald Trump and his right-wing friends are worse. In the Senate, in Congress, the Republicans have worked overtime to block humanitarian aid to the starving children in Gaza. [Current President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris] support getting as much humanitarian aid into Gaza as soon as possible. TRUMP has said Netanyahu is "doing a good job." And has said Biden is holding him back. [Trump] has suggested that the Gaza Strip would make excellent beachfront property for development. [...] AFTER Kamala wins, we will together do everything we can to change U.S. policy towards Netanyahu: An immediate ceasefire, the return of all hostages, a surge of massive humanitarian aid, the stopping of settler attacks on the West Bank, and the rebuilding of Gaza for the Palestinian people. AND let me be clear: We will have, in my view, a much better chance of changing U.S. policy with [Kamala Harris] than with [Donald Trump], who is extremely close to Netanyahu and sees him as a like-minded, right-wing extremist ally. [...] AS important as Gaza is [...] it is not the only issue at stake in this election. IF Trump wins, women in this country will suffer an enormous setback and lose the ability to control their own bodies. [...] IF Trump wins, to be honest with you, the struggle against climate change is over. [...] Trump believes [climate change] is a hoax. And if the United States, the largest economy in the world, stops transforming our energy system away from fossil fuel, every other country, China, Europe, all over the world, they will do exactly the same thing. And God only knows the kind of planet we will leave to our kids and future generations."
And now I am going to editorialise a few more points:
Firstly, I want to emphasise that the upcoming election is about damage control and harm reduction, not about political allegiance or moral purity. The point of casting your vote is not to signal support for a candidate, but to cancel out a vote for the more damaging candidate by voting for their opposition in the two party system. Let me be clear on that: under the U.S.'s current first-past-the-post voting arrangement, voting for a minor third party or independent is functionally useless during an election of this magnitude. It is a symbolic gesture that's functionally and morally equivalent to sitting out.
Story time: I come from a country which uses a preferential ranked-choice system and where voting is compulsory for all eligible citizens (a system which lowers campaign costs, incentivizes governments to make voting more accessible country-wide and limits attempts at voter suppression not that right-wing parties haven't tried). Despite us actually having a few substantial progressive third parties, there have been several times where I've sucked it up and voted for the major centrist party specifically to keep the major conservative right-wing party from gaining or maintaining power. We call this vote-them-out and keep-them-out politics - it's pretty much the default approach here, and it should be yours too because the idea of a "perfect party" is a fallacy. When human rights are on the line, pick the least-worst major option. The aim is to cancel out a vote for the other guy. Even with this, we recently lost our state to the major conservative-right party (running on a platform of youth-criminalization and abortion-bans) by a mere 8 percent margin - just in case you want evidence of how much impact a small number of votes can make, and how dangerous it can be to get complacent.
Secondly, for those Americans who still believe that not voting will keep you from being complicit in the Genocide in Gaza. Let me speak to you as a White Australian: you are already complicit in and benefiting from a genocide. Multiple, in fact. You and I both live, learn, work and profit on land that was forcibly seized through the murder and dispossession of First Nations peoples, similar to how Palestinians are being murdered and dispossessed of their land right now. When you enjoy chocolate and vanilla, you are benefiting from spices that were brought to the Global West via the colonization of Latin America, and that were historically (and in chocolate's case still is) cultivated by enslaved people. The phone/tablet/computer you are reading this post on is likely made using conflict minerals. I'm sorry, but you don't get to wring your hands over Gaza at a distance and pretend that sitting this vote out absolves you of genocide, while ignoring the ones your (and my) ancestors committed to bring you that luxury. You just don't. And again, as Senator Sanders said, Trump wants to bulldoze Gaza and turn it into Netanyahu's beachfront property development. You don't get to pretend that standing aside and knowingly letting someone else vote for him to do that is the more moral option.
Thirdly I want to point to that last part that I highlighted in Senator Sander's speech. I am not a USAmerican, but this election scares me because of America's global impact. If you are an American voter reading this, you need to understand that your country is too globally influential for you to neglect your civic responsibilities. I was working as a member of my country's national public service under a right-wing government during the Trump era and things got bad. A woman was raped inside Parliament House, video emerged of male staffers masturbating on female colleagues' desks and our then-Prime Minister quipped that it was a "triumph of democracy" that the women who marched in protest weren't "met with bullets". There was the same sort of culture-war mismanagement and misinformation about COVID-19, there were Neo-Nazis, and there was a failure to properly condemn or correct either of those things. Progress towards sustainability and clean energy slowed, and our Prime Minister secretly tried to seize personal control over five separate government departments. Sure, some of that would have happened with or without a Trump administration after all, we didn't need a Republican U.S. President to produce an onion-eating misogynist who hates homosexuals despite his own sister being one but the rest of the world looks to the U.S. to set the tone on what is acceptable in government. When the largest country votes in (or sits aside and lets other people vote in) someone as egocentric, openly prejudiced, corrupt, anti-science, greed-motivated, war-hungry, and dictatorially-minded as Donald Trump, it signals to other leaders that that is the acceptable standard. Even when it's absolutely not. When you choose to sit out (or cast a meaningless symbolic vote) rather than effectively use your civic power as a U.S. citizen, the outcome affects millions of global citizens who never had the option of giving their input.
Finally, I want you to listen to this podcast by Dr Robin DiAngelo and think about what the choice to waste your vote signals to the people around you. To the members of your community who are women, BIPOC, LGBT+, disabled, have migrant parents or who live countries that are effected by American policy (which is all of them, by the way. Y'all are big). We are not asking much from you. Queue for a slightly-annoying amount of time, get your identity confirmed at a sign-in table and then cast a ballot. Tick a box that indicates you'd rather let a qualified centre-left attorney and former senator have a chance of improving things, instead of a dictator-lionizing convicted felon who openly wants dismantle voting systems so that he'll never lose again. That's it. Get yourself to a polling booth and tick a box. We are not asking you to make an effort. We are not asking you to volunteer. We are not asking you run petitions, or call representatives or donate money or do meal deliveries or any kind of community work. Just tick a box. Vote. Anonymously. No one even needs to know what box you ticked.
If that is too much to ask of you, then what right do you have to call yourself any kind of ally? Think about the enormous privilege you are displaying by deciding that you can neglect this, and the fragility you are showing by deciding that a simple anonymous vote is too morally taxing. What reason would we have to ever believe you'd help us compromise on future solutions when you've shown you'd rather throw away possibly the last meaningful vote you may ever get on a Nirvana Fallacy? Why would we ever believe that we could rely on you to help or defend us when you couldn't even work up the courage and stamina to tick a box?
If that's too much for you, then fine. You're a coward, but fine. Just don't pretend to be anything else. And certainly don't hide behind the actual, ongoing suffering of real people as justification for your civic negligence. Do not use Gaza as an excuse to sit out this November 5th.
This website provides information on how to check your registration, register if you haven't, and find a polling booth. So does this one.
Do your duty. Get yourself ready. Go vote.
Then buy yourself some ethical chocolate to wash the bad taste out of your mouth.
#3WD Gets political#US Politics#US Election 2024#I'm sorry but if you are treating Gaza as a single-issue topic to justify not voting... you're making an excuse for civic irresponsibility#You don't have to agree with the Harris-Walz administration#but for goodness sake at least they are willing to uphold the rule of law AND can be swayed by calls and campaigning#you are NOT voting for the parties because you like them#you are voting because every vote you cast in a 2-party system cancels out a vote for the other idiot#do you want to pick the centrists who can potentially be pushed further left?#or the strongman-fetishist who wants to dismantle the voting system?#this election cycle has filled me with hopeless anger and watching people be clowns about sitting out is enraging#if you clown in the notes I WILL block you

being perceived as stupid by people who are as smart or smarter than me sucks because it genuinely sucks to feel stupid, but being perceived as stupid by people who are, at least in some ways, dumber than me makes me insane
#bonus venn diagram overlap: my ex who was As Smart As Or Smarter Than me depending on the topic--#but 100% of the times he clearly thought I was stupid HE was completely objectively incorrect and being stupid about it#MAYBE IF YOU DIDN'T THINK I'M AN IDIOT YOU'D LISTEN TO ME SOMETIMES AND WE WOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ARGUMENT.#he also was really good at that thing that happens sometimes where you say something the other person Doesn't Get#and the specific way they don't get it is that they think YOU clearly just said something dumb#you see this one a lot on tumblr#.... I wasn't even thinking about my ex At All when I started this post lmao#but it's also a little easier to complain about this behavior in 'literally has a phd in natural science now' ex bf without feeling mean#than it is to get too specific about the kinds of people who treat me like a big cute dumb potato. lol.#it's a little frustrating having conversations with you sometimes anyway because you miss the point and lose the thread so much#and then YOU infantalize ME??? agsjfkdjsks#about me

The inevitable cost of posting opinions on the Internet where you will say something as a casual semi joke and some random weirdo who clearly has a bunch of issues about this concept completely unrelated to your post will start fuming and insulting you for being a horrible person and it's like... My dude I just complimented this character for their memory skills nowhere did I imply that's all that makes them good or that intelligence is the only thing that matters why are you assuming- nevermind we're on the Internet of course you're fighting a version of me that exists in your head based on your own half baked idiotic assumptions.
#This happens way too many times on twitter and a few times on tumblr#On the bright side whenever I glance at the profile of the person fuming I'm immediately like oh nice#This person is much worse than my initial impression and definitely not someone worth any of my time#Shockingly the people who disagree with stuff I say but talk to me casually instead of treating me like a malicious idiot#Are usually the ones making the most sense and who I learn cool new stuff from. Amazing how that works.

So like with ganqing
Who fell first and who fell harder?
Hmm, not sure if i have a truly definite answer. It could go either ways - Keqing realizes her feelings first because she's analytical, she quickly notices all the changes in herself in regards to Ganyu. And Ganyu is more of the quiet type, who also doesn't think abt doing things for herself. Being like 3000+ could also mean she's fine with living alone, she doesn't necessarily need romance. Maybe even neither of them need it. But eventually she realizes that maybe she can take a chance at some new happiness, at sharing a life with someone. So once it hits her how much she cares about Keqing, it kinda just hits very strongly all at once. It becomes a strong want that she's finally willing to follow, despite her withdrawn nature. - Ganyu realizes her feelings first because her experiences with Keqing taught her to be bolder, to live more for herself and pursue her own wants and happiness. On the other hand, Keqing is focused on her dream of building the new era of Liyue, she's straightforward but cares about boundaries, so maybe she's not aware just yet of what she's actually feeling for Ganyu, who's fully supporting Keqing in that goal. And once she realizes those feelings, it hits her all at once like "oh. i'm in love with her. of course!", and she basically immediately wants to act upon it, because that's just how she is.
#ganqing#ask#keqing#ganyu#perhaps keqing first ganyu harder is more likely considering their personalities and i might like it a little more?#but the other option seems interesting too. as long as keqing isn't treated as a dense idiot for no reason bc that's not the point.#and i'm sure there's other possible slightly different interpretations of this that i could end up rlly liking hhhh#i may be just not as big brainded for this#and this doesn't even touch on who actually confesses first after all that. which could go either ways too! many possibilities lol#ty for asking anon :)#btw feel free to send me more asks abt ganqing
