Three seasons and still so many people are still weird (and high key misogynistic) about Ginny Miller. If it's not berating her for an attitude that was crafted in response to her unstable home life (something in which the same people who hate on her for, will turn around praise Georgia for every little thing even though she played a role in Ginny's trials), or framing her as self centered for not noticing others, such as Marcus's or even Max's mental health....even though the show, not only, shows her reaching out but also discusses how invisible mental illness can be at times, especially to those who are good at hiding it.

If she's to blame for Marcus's mental health, then so are his parents (who aren't getting talked about enough to me), Max due to not noticing until some point around in s2, Abby for not communicating with Max, Georgia for not telling Ellen about the bottles, and so on so forth. See how all the examples I listed are outlandish? That's the same with this rhetoric around Ginny, especially when she was one of the first to clock Abby's ED. And then there's the framing of her turning Marcus against Max, as if she has any control over his actions or that he's not his own person. Like, yeah sure, this female character is responsible for how this male character is acting, that makes perfect sense. This also plays into how some people have more sympathy for Max this season (which is fine, understandable), but were ready to crucify Ginny in the same breath for something that was blown out of proportion. It's also very telling that she's receiving more blame for the ANG breakup, as if, again, she has any control over Abby and Norah, and as if she led the charge. While I don't think either of the three were intentionally trying to leave Max out of everything, it's important to note that Abby and Norah played their parts as well. From downplaying/not adhering to Max's emotions when she shows how this affects her (Norah and Abby), to being kind of rude whenever she tries to discuss it (Abby). And while I don't think either Abby or Norah should receive hate, as they are teenage girls who were going through a lot this season that clouds how they act, I'm also not going to pretend that they aren't given more grace and justifications for their actions, especially Abby, in comparison to Ginny. I do think Ginny's line to Max at the party felt out of character, especially when she was shown to want to include Max and work on their friendship, I can admit that. However, some people are taking that line and are talking a little too strongly, saying that Ginny should be "grateful" that anyone ever gave her the time of day, as if that's how friendship should operate (it's not) or that she's a bitch and so on. It's getting really weird, because I hardly see anyone say that about Abby, who's been Max's friend since childhood. It's just very telling how much flak Ginny gets for every little thing in comparison to her (mostly yte too) counterparts. Anyways, Ginny Miller, they could never make me hate you.

I promise I’m not bitchy vagueposting, I just saw a popular writing advice post from a writing blog and it spurred this on- but I find it so funny when people are like “how do I write/depict [x] without offending [group]?” because in my experience within various groups/demographics, we don’t even agree with each other on stuff like that half the time ��

Why does Vassago already have merch, we haven't even met him yet

[bookwyrminspiration]

nothing pisses me off like people thinking i don't know or understand something i do. but 99% of the time it's entirely non-malicious and i have to sit there like no haha i actually did remember that and already know what you're explaining, but thanks <3!! meanwhile i'm fighting for my life not to turn into a werewolf and maul everyone within three miles

genuinely can’t understand character hate in a well-written show. I mean, I can understand here when the character is horribly written because that means they mess up the story, but. In a good show? What are you on about? You’re mad that they were an obstical to the hero’s journey? You’re mad that two character’s flaws interact in a way you don’t like? You’re mad about conflict? Dude. Dude that’s the whole point of a story. A journey without obstacles isn’t a journey anymore it’s just a walk down the road. A plot without conflict isn’t a story anymore it’s just some guy who doesn’t do anything.

I've been wondering for awhile, but are you making your account as a sort of lu archive?

In a way! It would be cool to have that as a goal but it just wouldn't be possible. There's way too much content for me to keep track of. That said! I do want to grab a lot of the older / current art that I love. (so more like a curated collection?)

I've noticed that as people drift from the fandom (or after fandom discourse) that things go missing or are deleted ;-; I think it's such a shame!

I was shy about interacting when I was new in the fandom and so didn't reblog a lot of the art that I admired the most. Some of it cannot be found, or is very difficult to find now. I kinda regret not interacting more. I wish I had been more vocal about my appreciation then.

Anyways! I got real worried about more art vanishing earlier this year and just started queuing older posts I missed. (I'm more scrupleless now. But,, a part of me still worries that it will bother the artists, especially given past fandom drama being the reason why a decent number of people have moved on or deleted work. I don't want to remind anyone of it and accidentally cause for art to be deleted. But I adore a lot of those works and want to save them in some way- or finally share those excited thoughts I had. so anyways...) Also, there's just a bunch of cool stuff to share! The queue has like,, 272 posts rn omfg.

I've also gone back and added character tags to my LU reblogs, as well as other tags, to make them easier to find.

I made a side blog! @luna-love-reboops is the current url. It's for reblogging stuff. Mainly Loz and Lu content :)

Definitely a mistake complaining about this on tumblr of all places, but does anyone else get annoyed with every single minute little social media interaction having to be a morality contest?

Someone will comment “he’s funny” on a 2 second celebrity meme and someone else will inevitably reply “he’s a raging zionist and he called a woman a bitch in 2008, he should be publicly hanged actually”.

Like… don’t yall get tired of living like this? I’m exhausted just looking at you.

I'm this close to officially become a Nesta hater. Idk maybe I already am. The way her fans are so disgusting (not all of them though I can acknowledge that) it makes me truly sick. Like real sick. You're vile and idk what moral of yours gave you the permission to talk and act this way. I can't even accuse you of acting childish you're revolting...

You lot are making Nesta look bad... I'm pretty sure Nesta would straight up point her finger at yall

I really admire people who seek out fansigns/fancalls/want to talk to their bias as a celebrity and a fan because this COULDN'T be me.

First of all I'd have no idea what to say whatosever.

Second of all I'd finally come up with something, but the guy wouldn't hear/understand me, he'd go "um sorry could you repeat that?" and I'd repeat that but he still wouldn't understand and I'd die on the spot out of sheer mortification.

Third of all we'd be talking but he'd make a face for a split second that I'd somehow interpret as disgust/displeasure/discomfort and I'd die on the spot.

Fourth of all he'd do the "gasp gasp, who's that on your phone wallpaper/why are you looking/taking pictures of other guys? Only Look At Me! ￣へ￣" bit, and my ick would be so strong that I wouldn't be able to stop it from flashing through my face. And I wouldn't know what to say. Or I'd go "haha sorryyyy" very unconvincingly. Or I'd say "haha um that's not cute to me sorry" with my own mouth. Either way I'd do something horrible and he'd feel uncomfortable and I would, you guessed it, die on the spot. It's just not worth it .
