Oh my baby she didn't just lose her mother...

But her father too💔😢

Jinx absolutely destroyed her life, and some people still overlooked Cait trauma and her suffering from grief, fear, anger, extreme guilt.

Caitlyn witnessed her mother's murder, and kidnapping by Jinx, and the Progress Day bombing, and the attack on the memorial ceremony which caused massacre. These experiences leave her deeply scarred

But one example of the insane set design on this show. They must have made this trash/tree branch dragon just for this brief scene and it's never seen again

Pop can for an eye!

DUDE

Just got a fic comment that was so sweet I started crying, so basically not everyone in the world is terrible, and art continues to be a super cool, amazing thing.

When the whole world is watched, filed, indexed, numbered, the only way to disappear is to appear, hiding our true identities inside a seemingly ordinary life. You're not a free man anymore, Harold. You're just a number. We have to become these people now, and if we don't, they'll find us, and they'll kill us. I'm sorry, Harold. I know it's not enough. A lot of people are going to die. People who might have been able to help. Everything is changing. I don't know if it will ever get better… but it's going to get worse. But the machine asked me to tell you something before we part. You once told John the whole point of Pandora's Box is that once you've opened it, you can't close it again. She wanted me to remind you of how the story ends. When everything is over, and the worst has happened, there's still one thing left in Pandora's Box hope.

Why I don't see a s3 renewal yet? WHY I DON'T SEE ANY S3 ANNOUNCEMENT????

Hey, I don't normally make my own posts about this, but.

Do not argue with an anti on their own terms.

Don't get me wrong, I get it. You see the hypocrisy. You see the way they take aim at your favorite ships or characters or tropes while enjoying something similar. And you think "if I can point out to them just how hypocritical and idiotic they look right now, everyone will see our argument, they'll see that the anti is wrong and a hypocrite, and then maybe more people will stop harassing the people who like my thing. Maybe the anti will see the light and stop being a hypocrite."

But it will not work. It will not work.

There is an extremely high chance one of two things will occur:

They will double down on their argument, and ignore what you've said. (Ex. They might say "This relationship has an age gap. That's p3dophi1ia. That's dangerous." And you might say "well you ship something with the same age gap. Is it not p3dophi1ia and dangerous when you do it?" And they will just double down and say "This ship is dangerous. The shippers are grasping at straws to make their p3d0 ship normal.")

They will agree with you, but in the worst way possible. (Ex. Someone says "Ew your ship are basically siblings because they're childhood friends and grew up together. 1nc3st apologist." And you might respond "And yet we allow our most popular ship in this fandom to be popular? They grew up together as childhood friends and were inseparable. Why is that not inc3st?" because you think they'll gain a sense of perspective here. But then that person responds "People who ship that popular ship are freaks too then." Maybe they believed that before the convo or maybe they didn't, but the point now is that (while not your intention or fault by any means) some people have gone on to harass shippers of a ship that aren't doing anything wrong. What you think will bring clarity ends up raising tensions between shippers instead)

Do not meet them where they're at on their preconceived notions. You will not make them believe that they are wrong or hypocrites. Do not concede to their heavy assertions of abuse, p3dophi1ia, 1nc3st, etc levied against the thing you like for the sake of arguing that they are a hypocrite, or with intent to make them feel dumb for inadvertently labeling 80% of a fandom with said labels. They will not "see the light". The best thing you can do, if you have to say anything, is double down with "I'm not hurting anyone and it's fiction. I can do whatever I want" or "I don't give a shit what harmless things people like as long as it's tagged and I can filter out what I dislike" (especially if this is your stance). Then block and move on.

Antis, like trolls, thrive on engagement. They want you to argue so they can continue to point at you or lie about you or make you look bad.

It is in your best interest to pick your battles, and to try to sus out the difference between a friendly argument or standing up for yourself versus feeding the trolls. You won't make the right choice every time, all of us are human after all, but I promise you that ignoring and blocking bad faith actors, deleting their hate anons, etc, is not the coward's way out. Sometimes you don't need to fight. Sometimes keeping yourself from platforming bad faith actors and giving them nothing to go on will do the job (because there are more antis that are just small blogs with little power to do anything than you think, the kinds of people whose inflammatory posts will die if no one touches them).

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I’m seeing some people worried about the unfortunate (very much an understatement) Liao lore in Gothic, and it’s understandable, and maybe I’m a bit naive, but I don’t think we need to worry about CGL deciding to pivot and court chudly types. Why?

Chuds would literally rather set money on fire than admit to giving it to CGL under any circumstances (they still buy product, but they aren’t talking about it), because of both “go woke go broke” and how they “fired” Blaine Pardoe.

And CGL knows this. Because chuds don’t shut the hell up about it.

It’s crazy to think I was 12 when stranger things first came out and season 5 will come out when I’m 21/22 (depending what time in 2025 it is released). I think the biggest con with shows taking so long to release new seasons is that your target demographic could literally age out before you even reach season 3. Like I’m so over it please free me from this hell.
