I think as a culture we have all forgotten that fandom is supposed to be fun.

It’s not that serious.

It was never supposed to be that serious.

Especially since most of the drama and hurt revolves around shipping.

All of the ships are fictional. Being canon doesn’t actually negate the fact that the ship isn’t real. 

No ship, or any aspect of a fictional universe, is important enough to treat another real life human being badly. 

It’s not that serious.

Any tips for being a suicidal 15 year old?

When I was a suicidal 15 year old everyone told me “it gets better”, and it sounded like bullshit. And frankly, it still sounds like bullshit. Like oh, what, I’m living in hell and you’re not gonna help me or *do* anything or give me any useful advice and I’m supposed to just hang in there on the nebulous, pithy promise that things are just gonna work out on their own? And you can’t tell me how or why, I’m just supposed to take it on the faith that I don’t have that something might change in ways I haven’t considered?

But yeah. It does. And it’s frustrating as hell.

Yes, things are gonna get better, and they’re gonna get better in ways I can’t describe even after experiencing it myself. Things you don’t even know CAN be different WILL be different. One day you’re just going to step outside and realize things got better somewhere and you didn’t even notice it happening.

And there’s really nothing I can say that makes that sound even a little bit believable.

I guess all I can tell you is that you have to want to believe it.

Okay so I was trying to be polite but I see I came off as AI (which I hate- you can check by looking for AI-related posts on my blog). I’m sorry that I seemed ingenuine but I wanted to be polite. My offer for discussion still stands if you want to discuss!

guys i gotta be honest i’m super mad about the state of the world. mainly how people on this website are reacting to it. I am not a supporter of trump. i do not approve of what he is doing to america. i think he is making many bad decisions that are hurting many people. this being said, he is still a human being. i am not defending him. i just think that being able to empathize with (and be polite to) your enemies might make them change their minds. If it doesn’t, it still makes you a better person and helps you grow. I think the best way to stick it to him and rebel against him is to choose kindness.

“Authors should not be ALLOWED to write about–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“This book should be taken off of shelves for featuring–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Schools shouldn’t teach this book in class because–” you are an anti-intellectual and functionally a conservative

“Nobody actually likes or wants to read classics because they’re–” you are an anti-intellectual and an idiot

“I only read YA fantasy books because every classic novel or work of literary fiction is problematic and features–” you are an anti-intellectual and you are robbing yourself of the full richness of the human experience.

Hi! I can see that you disagree with me, and I’d love to discuss this further with you if you’re interested. I want to be able to understand points of view other than my own so I can have a comprehensive worldview and I believe the best way to do that is through conversation. Let me know if you want to talk more about this!

Hi! I appreciate you taking the time to respond! I don’t know if I made myself clear, so I want to reiterate my point as a response this time. I think that people should practice empathy towards everyone, especially people who don’t deserve it. I think that a very effective way to stand against fascism is to understand the people enforcing it. Kindness and empathy doesn’t look like letting them do whatever they want. It looks like understanding them and standing against them because we want them to become better people. I think that kindness is extremely anti-fascist. They want us to be mad and violent and scream insults at them so they can convince their fans that we are the enemy. If we show compassion (which we can do while opposing them) then they lose a huge part of their argument against us. I agree that Trump and Musk do not deserve it, which is why it’s more important to show it to them. I’d love to discuss this further with you if you’re interested!

i know this one isn’t as big but it still annoyed me. I asked my sister and my mom to help me carry something. both of them made points that i could just do it myself, whether i awkwardly bump against the wall and trip on the stairs or i take two trips. i asked them for help and they told me why i didn’t need it. and i could technically do it myself, but going up a flight of stairs without carrying a ton of stuff already makes me feel like i’m having a heart attack or something. carrying the stuff makes me constantly off-balance, which is worse. i can’t take two trips either because going up and down the stairs TWICE makes it so i cant breathe. even if i had no problem with the stairs, i’d prefer company. i also asked my brother and he said he couldn’t because he really needed to get a project done. i understand that, because if he could then he would. he has before. but my mom and my sister could help me but won’t. it’s so frustrating and i’m trying to see their point of view but i can’t.

I haven’t platonicposted in a while

I’ve got a bit more beef with politics (US and international) to get off my chest, and while I hope nobody gets mad at me over this, that isn’t likely. 

I don’t think that many people understand that while a huge difference in the changing political spectrum is changing morality, another issue that I think we have is that each side has a different agenda than the other but everyone wants everyone else to have their same agenda.

Some people are LGBTQ+, some are disabled, some are Christian, some are Muslim, some are family-oriented, some are pro-life, some are anti-gun. Most/all of it has to do with our experiences and how we have lived our life.

And the biggest problem isn’t that we have these differences, it is that we cannot work with other people who hold a different view of our agendas than we do. Two people who hold different views on the LGBTQ community cannot work together to help alleviate the suffering of those in poverty. People who hold differing views on how to alleviate suffering cannot work together over national security. 

And to the people who say that the other side wants them dead and so they cannot compromise with them on any issue unless they stop wishing you dead, I would like to say that people on the other side probably feel the same thing about the issues they care deeply about. This is what politics has come to now. 

This is my beef with politics at the moment. Possible solutions would be relearning how to see humanity in the other side, trying to see things from the other person’s perspective, and learning that you are not always right, but the likely hood of people starting to do that is slim. I am not perfect in this area; no one I know is perfect at doing this. But it would help, I think. I could be wrong. But as I look around, I wonder what this all would look like if we listened to each other’s experiences instead of instantly brushing people off if we disagree with them.
