#you're not wrong op

[destiel-wings]

Are you incapable of making your own post? Why did you add on to that poor persons Merlin post when they dont care about Destiel? And youre too lazy to make your own gifs lol okay. Please dont add on to posts that arent yours. So fucking lazy and annoying.

Hey, if you're the op who made the post, I sincerely apologize. If you don't want that kind of addition i can delete it, no problem.

I love merthur and i love destiel too, and I added that scene from spn to make a comparison between the two ships. It wasn't meant to take anything away from the original post, but my intention was to give it a new light in addition (as people do on this site) by drawing a parallel with another piece of media. A lot of destiel fans love merthur too and i thought the op could get more reblogs and likes on their gif this way (reaching another fandom too).

I know how to make my own posts, I did plenty of them, actually.

What i don't know how to do is gifs, and i have deep appreciation for people who make them, and it is my understanding that they like exposure for their posts, so that their hard work can reach more people.

This is why i reblogged it.

My tags on the reblog were about both ships, i didn't deviate from the original post ignoring it to only talk about another ship (which would've been rude), so i didn't think it could be offensive in any way.

Semi related to the other day's post about people calling OP a hypocrite for not wanting to kill people, it also really annoys me how often this fandom (even in corners like MegOP where OP is ostensibly one of the main characters) just disregards or does not care about how Optimus feels. Or seemingly doesn't even comprehend that OP having his own emotions/goals besides validating Megatron/whoever else he's being shipped with or interacing with. Or they think that every time OP is "mean" to someone else it's bad and awful, but when any other character does bad things it's justified because they were upset/hurt.

It's not really a commentary on character apologism or morality so much as it is annoyance that the spaces I've been around in near universally don't give a crap about how Optimus feels ever. Like, to use MegOP as an example since that's my main context of seeing Optimus content, I always see takes like this that only center Megatron's experiences/feelings while completely ignoring anything Optimus feels.

Like. TF One? It's okay for Dee to turn on Orion because he feels betrayed by him "siding with" Sentinel and Orion is such a jerk for banishing him from Iacon. But god forbid that OP might be a little upset about being dropped down a pit by his own best friend (and then said best friend immediately tries to kill him again when he comes back) and want Megatron to get the hell away from him if he's gonna be so violent.

Can't even count the number of examples in IDW1. Megatron is traumatized and oppressed so that means he can do as many crimes as he wants and hurt Optimus as much as he wants because "Optimus should've just listened to him better" never mind that OP literally did listen but no one besides dedicated IDW OP lovers ever points out that OP has a right to be pissed off at Megatron for some of the shit he did to him. People get mad at IDW OP for making Megatron give a speech denouncing the Decepticons because it's mean/controlling/anti-revolutionary or whatever (never mind that OP letting Megatron go free on a space adventure is incredibly permissive and informed by his personal bias towards Megatron) but they could care less about the fact that OP is staying on Cybertron dealing with the remaining Decepticons + shit with the neutrals and might maybe want Megatron to pull his weight deescalating the post-war situation so that Optimus has an easier time trying to manage.

It's very much a thing that heroic characters are held to higher moral standards than villains and grilled over doing similar things that villains are cheered for. But this isn't even some strictly moral thing, it's just. So fucking bizarre how ready people are to demonize Optimus because "he hurt X" or "he got in the way of Y" or "he sided with Z when he should've sided with A" but completely disregard all of the many, usually valid reasons Optimus has for doing what he did! It's all about poor woobies who suffered so much and are doing bad things because they're upset and justified from their perspective. But all of a sudden when it's Optimus, his feelings don't matter and how things look from his perspective (his goals, values, obligations, what he feels is right or wrong, the depression he often has across continuities) doesn't matter either. He did something that made someone else feel bad therefore he's the literal worst who only does things out of hypocrisy/self-righteousness.

It's not like Optimus could ever experience emotions like depression, anger, frustration, fear, loneliness, urgency, etc etc that drive him to do what he does. Optimus has no internal struggles between what he desires as a person versus what he feels is the right thing to do/what he's obligated to do. Getting sympathy for the very real hurt and struggle he experiences is just for every other character except Optimus, I guess. Swear to god the majority of the fandom doesn't actually see Optimus as a character and instead just sees him as a prop to either validate their fave or to act as a scapegoat for whatever's wrong with the plot.

alright everybody can we please stop tagging me/talking about me in the notes of pro keefe/sokeefe posts. i know strieefe has made it so that it's really funny to talk about how much i love him and how much i'm in denial when i say negative things about him under those posts (and that's all in good fun and not the problem), but we have to think about the fact that the ops are just trying to make a positive post and probably don't want a keefe hater in their notes /srs

[kaesaaurelia]

I do love how Spotify Wrapped pinpointed the exact moment I became obsessed with writing the Treebark folie à deux in the doomed space colony AU as being heavily influenced by Ren's brain being suddenly forced to absorb enormous amounts of human knowledge about myth and culture and getting stuck on the (dubiously historical) concept of the sacrificial king, because it's like "boy, you REALLY liked Steeleye Span this year! specifically at this point in time! huh!"

how many times do we gotta go over it man. thought crime isn't real. it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. don't let anyone make you feel guilty for having some reflex reaction to stimuli in a way that is out of your control. the question isn't what you think or how you feel, but what you do. do you act upon those thoughts? do you harm others bc of your feelings? that's where you draw the line. keep it in your brain. vent it out in some personal way like a journal or a password locked blog. it's okay i promise

If we are not mutuals and you post an incorrect quote I dislike, I will block you. Not funny. Out of character. Gaurds, banish them.

if you ever feel compelled to reblog a post about being / knowing a gay person who enjoys het sex, in order to say "op it's ok to be bi / this is bi erasure" just remember

1. it's ok to acknowledge bisexuality isn't relevant in every discussion abt homophobia. sometimes homophobia targets homosexuals only when it's abt hatred & erasure of exclusive SSA

2. it's ok to acknowledge bi ppl can be homophobic without it being internalized homophobia. someone who redefines the word gay to mean bi is expressing contempt for / failing to accept the existence of exclusive same-sex attraction not bisexuality

sure when you describe bisexual behavior while calling it gay you're obscuring the word bisexual but that's often v. obviously not the point. or do you think a tumblr user who talks about gay men and lesbians enjoying straight sex with each other hates the label bisexual more than they hate the existence of homosexuals? by calling it bi erasure or biphobia you make it sound like avoiding the word bisexual is the main motivation and fantasizing about gay people being 'corrected' is an inconsequential afterthought. it's the other way around. if your instinctive reaction is to praise bisexuality and soothe bi ppl's presumed insecurities while ignoring the gay ppl actually being targeted & hurt its worth asking yourself why

[carry-on-my-wayward-butt]

i immediately deleted the ask i got because it's fucking braindead but im gonna post about it anyway.

if you have to start with "you CLEARLY only consume popular/recent media you need to watch unpopular/ancient media instead" and go on to detail why i'm wrong and why i should pry my eyes open like clockwork orange and force myself to watch fictional characters with zero established compatibility lick each other's necks to whatever the current iteration of shape of you is nowadays/was back then? you're actually stupid. like genuinely you're a dipshit full stop.

no the fuck i don't need to watch X Y Z or the sequel prequel spinoff. i dont need to do fucking anything that you insist i 'need' to force me into your blowhard bitch brigade full of self-fellating schmucks.

you ''need'' to sniff a flower and feel the wind on your face. bask in the dappled sunlight under a tree and eat some sliced fruit. jackass.

Simulation of the recent dashboard experience

I see an inflammatory, charged post

I click on the Replies. I'm not even necessarily doing this bc I doubt the post, it's often just motivated by 'huh, that's weird/ a big claim/ interesting, I wonder what people have elaborated on in the notes?'

Multiple people have debunked a central portion of the post in the replies. Not even if you scroll down, just, right there when you click Replies there's sources

I sigh and unfollow the blog that put that post on my dash

I realize we are not on here doing Deep Research on every post (that spider pheromone lotion post totally got my ass, I am not immune, etc) but 'Check if this dramatically phrased post has Replies pointing out it's nonsense' is bare minimum, especially as the seriousness of the topic increases.
