If one more person hears ‘I’m having a significant reaction to your [medical device], it’s impacting my sleep, my heart rate, and I have a condition that means the reaction will get worse if I tough it out’ and goes ‘well, if u can’t push through, it’s unfortunate….👀👀👀’ like wtf????

There have been a lot of discussions about why many aromantic people don’t like seeing the few aromantic characters out there getting shipped and having their aromanticism ignored, and most of those discussions have boiled down to erasure and the lack of aro representation.

And while these are both major issues, I think it’s also worth mentioning that part of the reason it can be uncomfortable to see aromantic characters shipped so often is because this is something that happens to us in real life too. If you are happily single, that’s often seen as a problem that needs to be fixed, and people will often try to “fix” this so-called problem by shipping you with people, pressuring you into relationships, or trying to set you up with someone. It’s happened to me on more than one occasion, and I’ve heard other people on the aromantic spectrum describe similar experiences.

So when people look at a character who is aromantic (especially ones who are implied to be romance repulsed) and they immediately start making ship content of that character without making any effort to acknowledge the character’s aromanticism, that can hit a bit too close to home for a lot of us.

leo and krang are introduced to the audience in the same manner as they’re both shown to appear confident, cocky and arrogant.

leo’s ego coming from a place of recent victory from defeating the shredder and feeling on top of the world while krang’s is from a genuine belief that they are the superior being to all other life.

with this you have the overconfident defender and the prideful conqueror. neither able to see their flaws, with leo being lax about fighting and believing he’s in the right and the krang having a mindset that any mistake made was a rarity and impossible to repeat because the fact in their mind is that they’re better in every way.

in the beginning their motives are fairly similar, to win, to survive, to come out on top.

however after following defeat after defeat and experiencing pure loss of his family, the mindset that leo has changes and he realizes he’s been going about things wrong and and the goal isn’t to merely win, it is to protect his family and the innocent people around them.

and this mindset is what inevitably leads to the downfall of the krang because he repeatedly is unable to understand or the will that people have in protecting others and doing what it takes to survive and win out of love for family as they only strive to win for the desire to control and conquer, even going as far to think that their destruction of life is a gift and makes them a savior from weakness

which is why he mocks their idea of duty to protect others as he believes that all other beings should and will give up inevitably

“strength always prevails”

however he doesn’t take into account the turtle’s strength of will and their ability to use that ego and arrogance against him, which in turn, is what ends up being krang’s true weakness and leads to his defeat. bc he never would’ve thought that someone would’ve sacrificed themselves in order to win because such a concept never would’ve been considered by him in the first place.

because while both krang and leo strived to win and defeat, their ideas of it differed greatly. and because leo understood how his arrogance made him weak, he was able to discover how to make it into a strength by turning the krang’s own confidence against him.

“i missed on purpose.”

Every few days i remember the study that found that 30% of american children have long covid and just get completely lost in rage and grief. What the fuck are we even doing. Wear a fucking mask.

[sainteddie]

this fandom’s ability to villainize every single actor/actress that plays a love interest to buck or eddie (or even says a “negative” word about the ship in general) needs to be studied.

My brain is buzzed and buzzing.

HW Zelda spent a good portion of her time with Link disguised as Sheik. She decided to keep her identity a secret from even Impa, which means she probably had to change her personality a little to make it convincing. So this entire time, Sheik and Link work together and fight together, and Link got to know this different persona. So when she revealed herself as Zelda, I wonder how that changed their relationship and dynamic?

Imagine Zelda is falling for Link but Link is falling for someone who doesn’t exist. Imagine Link’s agency and consent are so ambiguous because destiny determines that Link and Zelda are always together, that they have to be together, at least according to Lana and Cia.

I don’t know, I just have a lot of thoughts about HW Zelink. Not all of them are great. But I suppose if people write it well I can like it.

It’s a bit fcked up that 2012! Mikey has consistently been the one to take on his mind controlled brothers. “Pizza Face” and “Parasitica” we’re basically two whole episodes where Mikey had to fight off his family alone while avoiding being mind controlled himself. I mean, it makes sense a bit. He’s likely the hardest to catch since he’s the most agile of his brothers and he has the most raw talent but still it’s a bit fcked.

He probably felt so much relief when Leo managed to avoid being bitten and turned into a vampire when they fought Dracula. Because he was finally not alone while trying to fight off the rest of his family. Though he was still the one that ultimately saved them from mind control in that episode as well. After all he plunged a steak right through Dracula’s heart. Which means he’s basically saved his whole family from mind control three separate times.

And don’t even get me started one rat king episode where Master Splinter attacked Mikey first. Which must have been so confusing and out of the blue for him.

GUYS THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT

If you’re of voting age in the US and not registered, PLEASE REGISTER NOW!

I’m endorsing Kamala Harris for president.

The fact that’s it’s even close makes me sick to my stomach.

You can disagree with Harris or Biden or their administration on a lot of things, but not seeing that she is clearly the better option is scary.

Queer people’s lives depend on this.

If you care about us, PLEASE VOTE

If you are mad at Harris for not stopping the genoc1de, remember that Trump will absolutely not stop it either and that he’s a moron who no one respects. I’d rather have a g3nocide overseas and have queer people (and poor people, women, poc) in the US protected than have a g3nocide overseas and not have them protected.

And if you say “well Roe v Wade overturned and other conservative laws happened under Biden” Remember this was the CONSERVATIVE supreme court that did this. And another Trump term will make the court even worse for decades. The implications of this are huge.

People are on the fence, it’s simple. If you care about your queer, disabled, poc, poor, female loved ones VOTE HARRIS. If you’re centrist and won’t vote because you don’t care you’re a pushover and a coward. If you’re farther left and think she isn’t left enough, yes you have a point but this is all we have, PLEASE use your brain and stop being chronically online and self impressed.

I don’t care if I lose followers for this at this point, I’m just out here doing everything I can, not to panic and want to hide who I am. A lot of people don’t have the options to move to another state let alone country and we just want to live.

I’m lucky to live in a very safe state but I’m still terrified.

Please care about us. Please vote.

It’s been a long week, and there’s even longer ones to come.

But what is there to do?

What is there to do but to keep going?

[sinistersuns]

“ouhhhh trans men are so privileged because they can get into women’s colleges and trans women can’t clearly this is them taking advantage of transmisogyny or something” what are you talking about legitimately what the fuck are you talking about. my ass is not getting into a women’s college even if i wanted to, but regardless the trans men who do aren’t doing so for some vague nefarious reason meant to hurt trans women. do you really think a trans man in a women’s college is going to be treated well, do you seriously think he wouldn’t be treated as an invader or a confused girl in need or correcting or a plaything?? do you not think that would be incredibly isolating????? why are you yelling at us when the cis people making these stupid rules are RIGHT THERE. trans men aren’t blocking trans women from getting into women’s colleges or other women’s spaces, and no we shouldn’t be inherently excluded from them either actually because we get no fucking support from the larger trans community. this isn’t even about the post that sparked this post anymore. i’m sick of my community being blamed for shit we DO NOT DO as a group because we’re an easier target than the cis people who actually have power.

[icaruspendragon]

y’all do know i’m human, right? like you know that i have thoughts and feelings and emotions? i don’t just exist on a phone screen emotionlessly reading the things people say about me. or just not seeing them at all. we all realize that, right?

i am a person.

and i cannot believe i have to ask for this, but can y’all treat me like one?

[crownecromancer]

I’m sorry it’s just really not fucking fair that In THE ACTUAL MOVIE it can imply something between Gwen and Hobie but the SECOND a people started shipping two black boys together then It became a huge fucking problem, here’s the thing If Hobie is actually older and they never say that in the movie but imply something to the audience that him and a sixteen year old girl could possibly have something between them THEN THATS GROSS I DONT CARE HOW GOOD THE MOVIE IS! But Hobie is always a teenager, in other crossovers and his comics he is around 16, he has met miles before in canon the ships not new it was just small, I hate that every single fandom I try to enjoy now has this fucking problem It’s totally okay if you don’t like a ship but just say you don’t vibe with it and move on for the love of god
