#yes call her out! she deserves it!

taylor’s private jet usage bothers me too. a lot. i’m not bothered by people criticising her for it. i am bothered by the fact that she seems to be the only public figure who is deemed a Bad Person because of it.

The problem with the church today is that so many "Christians" do not actually believe in redemption.

[faaun]

oh my ... what you said about Oda using the "I want to be a man bc women are weak" trope made me think about Kuina.

I am bit upset we didnt encountered a strong swordwoman yet. I hope we will soon. Some people think Tashigi could be Kuina but that would really hurt me. She isnt near Zoro level at all. I dont want Kuina to be right.

This would be stupid.

But.

I think the best case scenario we could have, is if Zoro somehow encountered Ivankov before Mihawk, he could ask for HRT so that he could then go fight and defeat Mihawk "as a woman" and fulfill Kuina's dream for her and prove that a woman could be the strongest (and maybe get turned back into a man afterwards)

That's not how gender works of course, but Oda doesn't get it either, and I'm trying to picture the best case scenario Oda could actually give us

Because the only way Kuina's fears could be proven wrong is if both Mihawk and Zoro lost to a swordswoman at the end, and I do not think that is ever going to happen. Because the clash between Mihawk and Zoro has been like The Ultimate Goal of Zoro's whole story, so him losing to someone else would just feel bad

Like it'd be a lil dumb (from a queer POV (unless Zoro turned out to be a butch trans woman, which to be fair, valid, and I would enjoy the dudebros getting Fucking Angry About It lmao)), but like. Oda does have his issues with the gender essentialism and misogyny, and the way the chesspieces are arranged on the table right now, it's either that or Kuina's fears end up correct. And it definitely sucks

Linktober Day 8

Constructs

Way too late if ya ask me because Nayru and Hylia have decided to forsake me but it's done. *Collapses* This one did NOT want to write itself no matter how hard I tried even if I have so many feelings about constructs, in the end Hozier, the SS and TOTK soundtrack carried this to the final stretch even if it's just a small drabble lol.

Mostly referenced this time though, something soft and nice about Sky and Reader and Constructs, can be interpreted as platonic or romantic. Day 9 and 10 prompts will be released on the same day if it all possible though depending if I actually get some darn rest and have the time (because Legend is being a bit difficult on the Linktober Shadow one in contrast to how deity is going and I have irl stuff to get done, hopefully this is good enough until then.).

Wild’s Sky Archipelagos couldn’t be different from Skyloft, though no less breathtaking. The eternal beauty of the sky ringing true and everlasting over the cloud barrier enforced by Hylia, though if the sky found in your favorite Godslayer’s was beautiful due to the life that thrived in the loneliness in spite of it all, of creating a community that would outlast the wish for entropy Demise attempted to enforce into the world with the black hole heart of his greed, then Wild’s was because of the echoes of what once was there, that it was lovely and beautiful even in ruin as nature reclaimed what belonged to it by right. That even if the people were gone they existed, they thrived and lived and loved and even in tragedy, that mattered.

And nothing reflected that better than the Constructs which of outlasted the civilization. Made out of now decayed copper and sturdy ceramic, made cute, so the people would remember to treat their new helpers kindly, and made sturdy so they’d remember the people who loved adored them and their built in sense of duty and kindness to aid any guest of friend in need and given voices so they could listen to them speak, to make them just a little closer to humanity.

‘Many of them are deactivated now,’ Wild had told you, the first time you’d all stepped foot onto the main island, it was disorienting for you and most of the Chain (except for Sky, because of course your heavenly, cloud trailblazing boy would have taken to the abandoned, atmosphere cold and echoing sun gold clear beauty of the sky island the quickest like a fish whom was questioned on their ability to swim or a falcon on their ability to hunt, you were almost jealous if not for the fact you or Four always made lunges for his collar – Crimson didn’t come with through the portal after all, nor First’s Russet’- when he attempted to follow Wild’s lead and in consequence give you heart attacks), the little beings of ceramic and old bronze completely non hostile, going about tending to the islands with their faint whirs of gears and whistles of self sustaining magic batteries, voices cold but calm, almost comforting and the first pieces of technology far away from Sky’s them that weren’t immediately hostile towards your boys, ‘Mostly the soldier ones, the Stewards have remained though. Carrying on with their duty, making the place homey even if the people are gone.’

Something about that gave you pause, lagging behind your group in a long abandoned garden, the scent of Sundelions and lavender tickling your nose and a deactivate Soldier Construct coiled up in slumber. Remembering the ancient robots in Sky’s Era, carrying on in their little pockets of time, unaware that the people they were created to aid have long since gone, that their time had long gone, of Fi, everlasting, ever sleeping Fi, bound to duty, always remembering the one’s who created her, of Sky who treated her as a friend, and always watching as people so very unlike him but achingly similar came and went, unable to do anything. Loving like a ghost.

“Guest?”, came a little mechanical chirp, you blink yourself back into awareness, a Steward floating over with a tilted head, jade ceramic earrings clinking, “If I may, you look troubled. May I offer unsolicited aid?”

You can’t help but chuckle, shaking your head gently, an idea stitching yourself in your mind like threads of silk upon a gown, “No no, sorry, I’m alright, I was just wondering. Is it alright if I come on by to pick some flowers? They’re lovely, you did a great job caring for them.”

It inclines their head, chiming, something close to delight, as much as it can express as a machine, “Ah, I see you were admiring them. If I may offer a bit of trivia, Sundelions were the queen's favorite, you may. Will you take care of them?”

You smile, gently reaching a hand to pat it’s head with a nod, it clicks and whistles, surprised, but doesn’t pull away, “Of course, may I ask you a few questions as well? I’d like to know how many Soldier Constructs are resting now.”

You should also ask Sky what Fi’s opinion is on flowers, as well.

It might be a bit silly, but they deserve it after so long.

(Later, much later, when the Chain notices you’re gone after talking to Zelda in the Temple of Time high up in the. Sky finds you in the garden, gently weaving blossoms into a crown, the construct from before amicably chatting with you as it tends to the Sundelions with a ring of flowers around it's long, long neck.

He joins you, and when asked what his and Fi’s opinion is on flowers, he tells you she won’t mind, much less him.

Later that day, Fi’s gains a crown of yarrow, bluebells and morning glories

It’s not much, but it makes Sky smile, you hope she likes them.)

much love and good vibes with this opinion: frankly tired of the general idea that ellie has no reason to still be upset with joel in game 2. like okay YES, he did it all to save her. YES, he made the right choice (imo), NO, he shouldn’t regret it at all

but he 100% lied to her for longer than he had to, not because it was best for HER but mostly because HE liked how it felt to be close to ellie and was scared to lose that. which is valid, but not enough of a reason to hide the truth from someone you claim to love.

"spar.kle is fictional who cares" I have seen people praising her for her racist anti-romani comments what the fuck kind of world do you live in

[bookishfeylin]

I was thinking about a review (or rather, a series of reviews) posted on tumblr the other day about the ACOTAR series by a casual reader and that person mentioned how Tamlin was a walking red flag in book 1 and briefly mentioned how hypocritical it was to call out Tamlin's abuse of Feyre and then to turn around and ignore Rhysand's abuse of Feyre but then in the review they like... started gushing over Rhysand anyway. About how hot he was and how much they love the morally gray character with trauma(TM) archetype that Rhysand fits into. And it's just very interesting to me, because it's just so abundantly clear that Rhys stans don't actually care about abuse, and they find his abuse excusable and not inherently ruinous to the entire POINT of the book series because Rhysand is hot. And this coincides with me finding posts from the old fandom (2015/early 2016 pre-ACOMAF) where the majority of people who called Tamlin abusive were people who excused Rhysand's actions or straight up romanticized them.

And it really confirms, for me, that Feysand is not loved because it's viewed as "the healthy relationship" and because Rhysand saved her from abuse--after all, it was shipped (and was apparently popular) prior to ACOMAF even came out and Tamlin became abusive. It's loved because Rhysand, the dark-haired bad boy, was finally not the one called out for abuse despite being the first love interest to be abusive. It's loved because of how nasty Rhysand is and how the text excuses it over and over. Hence, the quick jump in fandom from "Rhysand was ooc in ACOSF! He wouldn't do that to Feyre!" to "Rhysand just wanted her to be happy, he had good intentions!" about not telling Feyre about dying in childbirth. Rhysand is loved because he is abusive, even if people don't want to admit it.

In fact, Rhysand's abuse is written as a sacrifice he has to make to protect his loved ones, turning abuse into some noble action of his. Poor Rhysand has to wear a mask and make people hate him. Poor Rhysand had to molest Feyre for months and deal with her rightfully hating it. He had to put up with being hated for doing bad things. :( How noble of him. His abuse is framed as noble, as a sacrifice.

Rhysand is loved because he is abusive, not in spite of it.

Feliz Cumpleaños Mami💗💗

[kanieblindo]

Okay so hear me out.

What if? The Riley's just lived? They survived and Ghost still has his family? What if man.

Anyways here's the them because I absolutely needed to give him a little bit of comfort

(I didn't 100% go with canon design wise, but considering they're alive in the first place I feel as if it's obvious canon is silly 🧎‍♂️)

They're all extremely close and Ghost visits as often as he can, his nephew demands it and who is he to say no to him.

I live for Ghost being a family man who just gushes about how cool his Sister-in-law is while simultaneously just not mentioning the fact he HAS a family.

Just look at them living their lives happily,,

[cqcandchill]

also lol because the same rude university media person who gave me the run around with scheduling for almost a month last year about "sharing my story for indigenous heritage month" - and then got really bitchy when i called her out for being disrespectful of my time and humanity - emailed me again, asking for the same thing.

i personally feel it's really gross and exploitative to be asked to share any "struggles" i've overcome, so that the faculty of science can trot me out on social media like some kind of traumatized show pony to pat themselves on the back about. and i don't even get compensated!

sorry but i am not going to make myself a poster child for a colonial institution that can't even respect me enough to offer me tobacco and an honorarium to use my story for their own gain. it's quite frankly insulting at this point.

brings me joy to see fanart of hana. she is funny!!

[perenlop]

beating a dead horse but people can be soooo weird about wc deaths. i know we are kinda desensitized to it but like.... some of the things people say are just strange like ��russetfur actually deserved to die and lionblaze was right to kill her even if it wasn’t an accident because she was old and brittle at the time anyways. also she mocked a baby stuck in a trap in one book so she deserves death and much more. her clanmates are actually so stuck up and entitled and stupid for being upset lionblaze killed her. they should have expected her to die next time a clan raided their camp and attacked them because she was old. what a bunch of brats. its so stupid when a character who isnt the protagonist is upset their clanmate died and that manifests as anger towards their murderer, idiot should know better.”
