The thing is there is a good point about the powers that be using a yearly national event that is the most watched thing every fucking year to move forward with a military operation to delay the backlash and criticism.
But no, you don’t blame our government or fucking Israel for it; it’s Americans watching the super bowl who are to blame. I don’t even watch it so oh am I exempt for being an uninformed American?
Ppl are out here doing the protests and boycotts, making it VERY clear to our local politicians that we are not okay with this, but no the ones watching a football game are to blame for what Israel is doing.
Any links to ways to help or any tips or advice on what we can do in the late evening/night on a Sunday to stop that? Nope? Just shame on us for watching a game? Got it.
Hope no one making posts like that are doing literally ANYTHING ELSE but tracking what Israel is doing 24/7. Literally.

it’s so concerning how obsessed people online are with celebrities relationships. the same people who say “they don’t know you and wouldn’t want you” when you stick up for a celebrity who’s done nothing wrong proceeds to drag a man they DONT know and will NEVER know based on RUMORS like we’re in HIGH SCHOOL and proceed to drag his looks like that is ever a good place to go.
#these are the same people bragging about preaching body positivity btw#there’s a reason i never believe people when they compliment me#and it’s because everybody on the internet just fucking lies about their morals!#all the fucking time!#yall just out here telling the truth to try and look good.#you don’t.#first of all if you have to insult someone you could use any valid wrongdoing as an insult#but you don’t even know if it’s true so you go for his looks#which is not a valid insult and makes you look like the bully that you are#second of all#shut the fuck up?#literally go touch grass#like physically#please#there are real things in the world that SHOULD matter to you more than the personal lives of random thirty year olds you don’t know#you CAN do something good in the world instead of wasting your life away on tiktok or instagram getting shits and giggles from bullying#bullying someone you don’t know mind you#but just because they’re celebrities they don’t register as real people in your heads so you just tippity tap away#meanwhile you’re making other people feel bad for no clear reason#you know other people who have similar looks to the celebrity your insulting can read#right?#if you bully a celebrity for their eyes#somebody with similar eyes will probably see that and feel like shit#but worry not dear virtue signaler#im sure next week you’ll be preaching inclusivity again#because this world is made of fake bitches who’ve never been genuine for a fucking moment in their life#anyways#i’m a bit pissed can you tell#i cooked though

victorian finishing school matron voice dear mrs muffington i must report to you with the utmost regretfulness and deepest concern for her virtues as a future debutante that your daughter has been wiling away those small hours intended for her rest and thoughtful contemplation on the unbefitting act of reading NOVELS. and nothing didactic or instructive, no, not a hint of moralistic encouragement or edifying fabular tales to set an example of behaviour in polite society... oh, it can scarcely be uttered! the girl gorges herself on disreputable decadence, a brazen, unrepentant display of impudent disregard for all things proper, precious and pure! my my, though we shudder at the very thought, we are beginning to fear your daughter may be led astray into the funnel of sin and wantonness lest we arrest these licentious habits at the root. meanwhile, she shall be made to engage her hands, attention and busy mind with a wholesome, practicable activity appropriate for one of her age and deportment, say, knitting, lacrosse or perhaps even pottery, as we assess whether the much-needed change in regimen produces our desired effect. may the Lord grant you strength, hope and endurance through these challenging times

inside you there are two wolves. one of them knows it's shitty to expect people to be Good Victims™ and express frustration Correctly™ so as not to offend those who haven't personally harmed them. the other knows that all the sound theory in the world won't make people like or want to listen to you when you are mean to them. you are very tired of reading vague guilt trippy posts about how people should've known about something sooner
#i guess this is in light of recent events but lets be real guilt tripping ppl for that is pretty much a staple of this site#'i see yall not reblogging this' no you very specifically don't#youre acting like you have a checklist of all your followers and are going through it checking if theyve reblogged the#reblog if youre not a homophobe post#which would be insane because. yknow. someone following you doesnt mean they automatically see every single thing you post?#it's a meaningless statement because Not Reblogging Is The Default#you can't blanket assign values to the things people Don't post because that list is Literally Infinite because You Have No Way Of Knowing#What Posts They See#'i see yall not reblogging anything about xyz' like ok are you criticizing them for not following the kinds of people that discuss#things like that or do you legit assume that just because You talk about it and they follow you they Must have seen it and deliberately not#shared it due to bigotry#because if its the first one you know you can just say That right?#and if its the second i dont rlly know what to say there beyond You Are Not The Main Character#thats also why ive never really understood people adding onto hashtag hot takes with 'i just lost x followers because of this'#like it just comes across as i guess the same general concept of virtue signalling? not the right wing version but like the actual one#its like 'this take was so hot a bunch of bigots got mad and ran away‚ look how good my take is'#when its like . do you make before and after lists between each post and go and check the blogs of the people who left to see#that their politics are ones that would make them drop you over that#or did A Number that changes all the time happen to go down Around the same time you posted a thing and you assumed they must be related#like. yeah losing followers for things you post Happens and can be seen happening sometimes but like#on the scale of 'streamer loses thousands of followers after announcing she has a boyfriend'#not . a random tumblr blog losing a literal handful of followers#like. how often are you checking your follower count to be able to trace hyperspecific trends like that#and do you think maybe that obsession with follower count might have some affect on the way you treat other people#and like yes you /can/ learn a lot by looking at the full picture of what someone chooses not to address when given the option#but that works more in relation to like. politicians and rich people dodging questions about touchy issues or your friend refusing to#watch shows with female leads without saying anything directly bad about women#less so on social media. n even then its more 'u talk abt this group often but exclusively criticism‚ never neutral or positive stuff'#negative space is defined by whats around it‚ it cant be about the notes you don't play if you don't play Any notes to begin with#btw i want to be clear that i have been aware of the bans for a long time‚ so this isnt 'stop making me feel bad abt a bad thing i did:(('

Twitter is somethin else y'all I just witnessed, with my own 2 eyes, trying to say that not completely designing Kasane Teto from her older art is rooted in Naziism. I cannot even, this is the stupidest and most western take ever, just wait until these morons literally using "but Japanese companies sell swastika merch" as evidence (despite Teto never being depicted with any overt Nazi imagery by anyone but trolls, same with almost any other character ever) find out where that symbol comes from in the first place or why it comes up as an autofill when typing まんじ. Or to anyone saying "oh well military inspired outfits are problematic in general" i would like to remind them that the ever popular seifuku school uniforms are called that because they are based off US navy outfits.
I think their ethnocentric, one track minds would just explode.

i’m seeing a lot of people use the point of death and people always needing to die in unrest and revolution to say “well brown people are dying at the border anyways” and this is true but a lot of political violence and unrest is happening in countries marginally more homogeneous than the U.S., in which, in the case that a protest becomes a place where people die, black and brown people will disproportionately be killed. i saw a tag say “god forbid a red blooded american dies instead of a brown person at the border” and like… a brown person dies in both cases. a “based” white woman will not be martyred here. the original post is very correct and it is also very true that people protest and die from it in the global south and sometimes they see change but i don’t think it’s reasonable to ask americans to sacrifice people of color yet again. we will keep protesting but it really bothers me to see people from other countries act as if there isn’t a major racial aspect to protests in america and who has the potential to survive them in case they go south
“We won’t be able to organize/ protest under Trump”.
People in the Global South have been organizing and protesting under dictatorships that America has installed as puppets for decades. You will be fine.

I sure wish white trans people on this site would stop bastardizing terms by poc like I desperately wish that would happen
Thats not what Woke means
Thats not what Cultural Appropriation means
and thats not what fuckin intersectionality means.
I don't think I'm "woke" about any random anything, because that wordss MEANS AWARNEESSBOF BLACK STUGGLES AND WHAT WE FACE! Which yall show very little with the way you let republicans bastardization becomes a funny joke in leftist circles until none of you can use that word except to insult me for not being fucking queer in the way you want.
It's not culture appropriattion for someone to have a kink that's like your but changed to fit their personal experience. kinks sre for turning people on. theyre not a fucking virtue call that youcan steal to signal that you're a good or bad person. Cultural Appropriation is Litterally having your culture put right in front of you with extreme bastardization, and a claim laid on it that you didn't do that first. And no one "did a kink first!" More than half my kink list is shit I was into without any outside influence. People are just into shit buddy.
Intersectionality is about all parts if an identity, opressed or not, and how they change what happens to you in a societal context. Intersectionality is for everyone, yes even the cis perisex het allo white abled man. Intersectionality aknowleges how he fits in and how he isn't opressed because all those idenities together put him in a position of privilege. Change one, that changes how he acts and is percieved, and can change his life circumstances to the guy next to him.
All this while I see unironic post calling Trans women/transfems the black people of the trans community. No. I'm the black people of the trans community, because I'm Trans and fucking Black. Fuck you if you ever said this or agreed with that fucking take. White trans women/transfems aren't the black people of anything they're fucking White.
Fuck all yall for appropriating these terms for you stupid fucking disk-horse and fuck anyone who blocked me for calling them on their racism.
Im sick of this shit.

Maybe I've just been hardened from the experience of being a jew online but it doesn't seem like people actually care about social issues they claim to care about.
Like it's insane how quickly people went from "slavery bad' to supporting houthi.
How you should believe all victims of sexual violence till it's Israelis.
How you shouldn't play oppression Olympics unless it's with jews, Ukrainians and Palestinians.
Like do yall not hear yourselves? You are supporting the same groups who do things you claim to be against. And its hard not to think that everything, every social issue in the last 10 years that people have protested for, didn't actually matter to people, and that it's all been one big social virtue signal.
Because the reality is, it's not just that people can't keep antisemitism out of advocacy for palestine anymore, yall can't keep any bigotry out of advocacy for palestine.
And it honestly makes me think that everyone has been far more concerned about "playing nice", making sure you don't get canceled, rather than actually caring about causes.

friendly reminder that devil deals are a real thing that a lot of people fall victim too and that demons are malicious and do destroy peoples lives if theyre not careful so please be careful when consuming works like Hellionfinity which romanticizes devil deals and fiendish soul contracts

imo any work of fiction that involves a romance between any type of fiend is not just problematic but harmful
🕯️ andersfirelight Follow
i used to be indifferent to books that had devil romance interests because like thats their whole thing theyre seducing people to get their souls and the mc overcomes it, but reading through the replies i see that Hellionfinity actually ends with the devil character as the main romantic lead which is super problematic in terms of power imbalance and the fact that he has a redemption arc is so out of touch especially since our military is finally recovering from the azgurian assault
🧚🏻‍♂️arms-of-faelor
helliofinity also has a scene where the main character uses a soul coin that an imprisoned mortal gave him and he uses it to bring the devil out of avernus so he doesnt fully die and no one in the book mentions it or talks about how messed up it is to use soul coins and we never see the now bound to hell prisoner ever again

Let's talk, this got long, addressing continued ignorance and misunderstanding of caitlyn and vi:
Tumblr media
"Am I the only one who hates caitvi" no you're not, there's plenty of people with the same ignorant misunderstandings and virtue signaling ideologies. The same people who will spout false information and project their opinions onto the media vs taking the information the media is giving them and actively interpreting it.(that's not to say you can't be indifferent to caitvi. But all the hater are literally so dense and spout the same nonsense.)
"Who you have oppressed for decades" first of all CAITLYN didn't oppressor anyone. So saying she oppressed them is ignorant and a blatant lie. Caitlyn did not have any control or contributions.
Speaking on oppressors; silco and the chembarons have actively been oppressing and beating down their own people. Making zaun a thousand times more unlivable than when piltover did with vander. The firelights came to be because of silco and shimmer. Now, caitlyn did not gas an ENTIRE city. She targeted those afformented groups who have contributed to a downfall and hostile environment in zaun.
(lest we forget the council literally wanted a full scale assault on the entirety of zaun to aquire jinx. So even if caitlyn had done nothing zaun was doomed either way. War was looming if she did not act, you literally cannot talk about this without mentioning it, so the amount of people who choose to exclude this information to skew their "critical analysis")
Caitlyn didn't suddenly become empathetic because of vi. We see her being gentle with the jaw guy after he gets shot by jinx, she listens to vi before they even become more, yes she's apprehensive at the start but to say she changed because vi? Were you watching with your eyes closed and the TV on mute?
Saying that "these are her people" about vi. These are not her people. She actively hated silco and those aligned with him. Also she never was a freedom fighter for zaun. Idk where you got that. She just wanted a better life for HER and her FAMILY. Not to mention a tactical force to get chembarons off the streets isn't an act of oppression. That's a military action of snuffing out a drug cartel who are actively oppressing and harming the people of zaun.
(why are yall so in defense of the chembarons? Like yall truly don't give af about the people of zaun. We literally hear ekko say how bad the chembarons and shimmer have made zaun???)
"If the show didn't paint them good" you must be stupid if you thought the show was presenting it as good. The show is telling the story, it's giving a visual, just because it's there doesn't mean it's good. Or bad. Yes the show presents it as the BETTER option but it still shows how it is not 100% a morally good thing. But again you'd have to watch the show to see that wouldn't you??
(And again why are yall fighting for your lives trying to justify the chembarons existing and treating zaun like their own drug playing grounds.)
And to even say you like ambessa but not caitlyn & vi just feels embarrassing and you definitely missed the mark. People truly miss ambessa role in the entire season/series and it shows.
(i enjoy ambessa as a character but it's wild to see people try and tear down cait and or vi while praising ambessa in the same sentence. But this goes back to "we can handle evil characters but not good characters that do morally gray/bad things--which some of yall really need to have some introspection)
Tumblr media
"Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons" there's literally a song IN THE SHOW with lyrics adjacent to this. No not verbatim, but it's basically right there. I'm convinced this person has not actually watched the show. There's no way. There is NO way.
"I'm not done with arcane" then idk, stfu and finish the damn show, if you feel the *narrative* is painting these actions as good that's a you problem. You do not know how to interpret the media in front of you. Because that's literally not what's happening.
Giving a character motives and reasons isn't justifying their actions or painting them as good. It's giving them a fleshed out story with emotions and said motives. Putting reason behind the actions. Not to mention this show is all about showing how people are complex, but you want to target caitlyn and vi for what?
Jinx targeted caitlyn literally because she was jealous and wanted vi to choose her over caitlyn. She wanted vi to shoot caitlyn. Caitlyn had personally done nothing to jinx. Jinx then killed 3 councilors, unprovoked.
So we can see how "targeting" a group of people for the actions of 1 is bad when it comes to caitlyn and vi, but we cannot say the same for jinx, or silco, or the likes??
(caitlyn strategically targeted chembarons and the shimmer cartel. Something ekko and the firelights were trying to do in s1. But everyone forgets that. Explaining and understanding what caitlyn did does not mean writing off her actions. But some of yall need to learn not to vilify her for doing what other characters wanted to do in the first place. She simply had the resources and means to do it. If a different character did it yall would not be so up in arms)

Buddie stans aren't that bad...
They're actually WORSE.
They're the fucking worst. Filling up the comment sections of 911 cast, crew & fan pages/accounts with nothing but negativity and hate. Aren't y'all tired of being old, dusty, crusty Karens? Aren't y'all tired of not-so-discreetly-disguising your raging conditional homophobia as "i just don't like Tommy"??
Aren't y'all tired of sending death threats to an actor just doing his job?
Aren't y'all tired of pissing Oliver off?
Aren't y'all tired of dismissing Ryan's wishes for his character and how he wants to tell his character's story?
Aren't y'all tired of pissing off Tim Minear?
Aren't yall tired of virtue signaling and being enraged about Tommy's supposed racism (he was clearly going along with the crowd bc he was afraid of the bigot Gerrard, and then eventually apologized and became close friends with Hen and Chim)- while making every excuse in the book for Ryan? (And yes, Ryan apologized, but y'all only seem to acknowledge Ryan's apologies but not Tommy's)
Aren't y'all tired of pretending to care about characters of colour whilst cropping Chim, Hen and Karen out of pictures and not highlighting issues that affect poc characters/actors?
Aren't y'all tired of stalking & hunting for Lou's old tweets while also COMPLETELY ignoring the problematic shit Oliver and Ryan have done?
Aren't y'all tired of attacking BT fans who are just commenting/sharing their love for a canon queer relationship?
And the "both sides are bad" argument is INVALID. Because EVERY comment section across socmed just show as evidence of the buddies being straight up bullies. Hateful bullies who are throwing a millennialesque tantrum bc their fanon ship didn't go canon. You can see for yourself:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BT fans are just commenting their love and support for BT, while old, crusty, musty, dusty buddie stans are spreading hate. Y'all need some serious help.

I hate fandom sometimes. Like yall will be asked to boycott certain pieces of media becos their creators are either bigots or criminals who continue to monetarily profit from the consumption of their IPs and who would then use these profits to continue enacting harm on marginalized groups or to escape justice, and yall would cry and complain about how those annoying virtue-signalling boycotters are trying to shame you and take away your joy away or something. Just say you don't fucking care and that you prioritize your media consumption and preserving your self-image as a good person over others.

✨get to know your moots!✨
thank you thank you thank you to @sp00kymulderr and @perotovar for the tags!
What's the origin of your blog title? from the song boogeyman by dead posey, it reflects my deep seated desire to be hunted like a prey animal by one of pedro's many competent characters and finally give my overactive anxiety a real fucking reason to panic.
OTP(s) + Shipname: Been a hot minute since I shipped anything other than me and whatever pedro's flavor of the week is, but looking at my ao3 tim rockford and shane morrisey (@perotovar what's their ship name), aloy/avad (horizon series), and father john pruitt and this pu$$y.
Favourite colour: tbd but dark green or purple
Favourite game: all time? horizon zero dawn. currently? fields of mistria - yall the brainrot is so real and deep and i need to spend every waking hour harvesting my crops or repairing bridges or giving every goddamn shiny stone to Balor in hopes that he'll fuck me in his wagon
Song stuck in your head: Stayed Gone from the Hazbin Hotel soundtrack (for all of you who thought i was mysterious i hope you appreciate me showing my whole ass for this)
Weirdest habit/trait? I need a fucking chapstick on my lips and lotion on my hands or i will explode. my husband legitimately has a stash of chapstick and lotion in his car and in the house in case of emergencies.
Hobbies: thinking about writing, videogames, watching youtube essays and getting fed up with it and going back to nebula like an abused housewife
If you work, what's your profession? project coordinator, but i'm going back to school to get my license as an LCP so i can counsel people with addictions and their families.
If you could have any job you wish, what would it be? "I don't particularly dream of having a job, I dream of not having to work." <- real talk from @sp00kymulderr so i'm just gonna leave that.
Something you're good at: escapism
Something you're bad at: getting work done when i'm anxious
Something you love: the picture my husband gave me of our wedding for my desk at work, HotWorx, Dieter Bravo, and that little heart-shaped patch in Pedro's beard.
Something you could talk about for hours off the cuff: how late-stage capitalism effectively ruined fandom, in conjunction with the pandemic allowing the normies to find fandom spaces.
Something you hate: when i forget crucial little details that make my life easier (like putting tweezers in my purse)
Something you collect: men's hearts weird and cozy baseball caps
Something you forget: my own fucking head if it wasn't attached to my body
What's your love language? acts of service
Favourite movie/show: rn Severance (i'm rewatching the first season with my husband and i'm catching all these little things and alsdjkfalsdkj we don't get tv with this much care any more) and movie rn is the 2018 Suspiria (cuz it was the first one I thought of)
Favourite food: chicken and white bean soup
Favourite animal: my dog specifically
What were you like as a child? overconfident, a reader, dramatic
Favourite subject at school? english always and forever, but i did take an economics class in college that i thoroughly enjoyed
Least favorite subject? Maths <- once again, gideon with the correct answer
What's your best character trait? i think therapy can fix everyone because people are fundamentally good
What's your worst character trait? i think therapy can fix everyone because people are fundamentally good
If you could change any detail of your day right now what would it be? brought my fucking tweezers in my purse
If you could travel in time who would you like to meet? this might sound signal-virtue-y but Rosa Parks. What she and the rest of the NAACP did for community-building and protests is something that has been lost in time. we lost our unions and our local chapters of these social organizations and now we are more lonely than ever AND we are fucking powerless to fight back against an increasingly fascist government. (i think the isolation epidemic in this era is one topic i could yell about forever about too)
Recommend one of your favourite fanfics (spread the love!): going through old favorites:
making out to pablo honey by @mothandpidgeon
An End to Drought by @almostfoxglove
lotus-eaten postcard by @harehart (hope i tagged the right person bc i originally found it on ao3)
Forgot to tag!: @almostfoxglove @jolapeno @tinytinymenace @penvisions @quinnnfabrgay-writes

2/16/20/22/25 violence ask game GO
Help I realized now how many are there lmfao alright here we go
2. a compelling argument for why your fave would never top or bottom
Actually I don't really have it? I mean I do have a preference when it comes to blorbo roles in bed but it's not that strict. I don't think Dick would ever top WITH SLADE though, and my compelling argument is that he prefers bottoming and Slade wouldn't fucking let him top lmao
But then again this IS the choose violence ask game, so I am gonna choose violence:
I'm fed the fuck up with the whole "if you have strict sex roles for your blorbos you are a reactionary fascist enforcer of gender stereotypes whatever, or anyway the heteronormative society brainwashed you, especially if the 'shorter man bottoms' and the 'bigger man tops'". Like shut the trap man. First of all cause my sexual preferences are not up for political scrutiny because they are just that - sexual preferences when it comes to fiction - and second because this is the exact kind of piece of shit virtue signaling antis do, injecting moral and political bullshit in what people do for harmless fun in their free time. And third because acting like in real life people didn't have strict preferences for topping or bottoming makes me think you never interacted with real life people.
Like yeah lots of folks are versatile in bed. There are also lots of folks who are strictly tops, and lots of folks who are strictly bottoms. Go out and talk to people, you will find out incredible things I promise.
16. you can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, trope, headcanon, etc)
The whole "batfamily" being a happy wholesome family with all of them being supportive loving siblings UwU and living all together in Wayne Manor each one with their cute little personalized room that Alfred cleans every morning after breakfast. These folks do not communicate with each other and have never lived together. They lack the basics foundation to be a big happy family. Yes they love each other, yes some of them are closer to each other than others, and yes there are moments of tenderness, but why the hell would anyone push this Hamtaro-esque "everyone lives in a wholesome house of happiness🌻✨" bs is completely beyond me.
It makes no sense and it's just so utterly divorced from the actual state of canon, and from just everything that defines these characters as individuals and as a group.
20. part of canon you found tedious or boring
Well the DC canon is so vast there's actually lots of canon I found boring. I guess when it comes to blorbos, I was not able to stomach the entirety of the Ric Grayson storyline. Like honestly it was most of all boring as fuck.
22. your favorite part of canon that everyone else ignores
EOBARD BEING IN LOVE WITH BARRY.
25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing
"You guys don't write about/draw/create meta about female characters because you're sexist"
I've explained why this is utter bullshit many times but to be honest, with DC it is especially annoying. There is a HUGE fandom for female DC characters, even for those that have not appeared officially in comics for more than a decade. DC has some of the most beloved, celebrated (and famous!) female characters IN THE WORLD (Batgirl, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Harley Quinn), and if there aren't decent titles dedicated to them you need to blame DC, not the fans. Also sometimes there are decent titles with their fanbase of art and fanfics and metas, and yall complaining just because you're addicted to virtue signaling.
"Ah but Zero! I like X female character that appeared a total of 10 times 25 years ago, and all I can find are Jason Todd fanarts!" Let me stop you right there my friend, and ask you whose fault is it that X female character hasn't appeared in 25 years, which means no one fucking knows who she is so they don't draw fanarts and write fanfictions. DC comics executives, or the fandom? You think I'm happy that post reboot they acted like Cassandra and Stephanie didn't even exist? You think I'm happy that Barbara's struggle and journey to learn to live with her disability and become the backbone of the superhero society was thrown in the trash? You think I'm happy that Pat Trayce is relegated to ONE ridiculous cameo in Deathstroke 2016? Or that no one has seen Jenni Ognats since the fucking 90s? IS ALL OF THIS THE FANDOM'S FAULT, OR DCs' ??? (I'm done)
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE PEOPLE WHO GO "bUt zErO iT'S miSogynisTiC to bReaK uP a HeT CaNoN shiP to pUSh tHe faNoN gAy cOUpLe" You don't belong in fandom and you clearly have no idea how it works. And if you DO know how it works, you're either a psyop or a hardcore homophobe, or both, and you don't belong in fandom and you should fuck off faster than light. (okay I am actually done now)
Ask game here!
