my grandpa from my mom’s side (who died before i was born) seemed such an interesting person and had all these almost niche interests like boat sailing and sending postcards to random people around the world he met using radio frequencies (?) lol. and i’ll always be sad that i didn’t get to meet him bc i feel like he could’ve really been that one cool relative you look up to somehow. but no the only grandpa i ever met is the one from my dad’s side who was basically the son of this guy who got rich and aligned with fascist spain during the civil war and therefore has also been a fascist all his fucking life.

Being demisexual and bi is funny to me. Anyone can hit it but you must suffer The Gauntlet first

my day job is at a college, and this morning my boss was like "go collect all the suggestion slips from our suggestion boxes around the school and create a document and a spreadsheet outlining the needs of the student body."

Ok cool very easy! fun, even!

there were two. two suggestions.

"spring fling should be steampunk themed :3 I'd like to see more pipes and gears with no discernible function"

and

"free food. starbocks. privitized resturaunts."

I can't wait to turn in my 1/8th page report with "pipes and gears with no discernible function" and three out of five words misspelled on it. the students have spoken, boss; such are the needs of the student body.

listen to me. look me in the mouth. before you read this post understand this. do NOT come at me with discourse okay. we can have adult discussions about the depiction of relationships with “problematic” dynamics in media/fanwork and how they should or should not be handled with understandings of nuance or you can go to the moon and not fucking bother me.

that being said,

i do get a little confused when ppl talk about sarge/any of the reds, either for or against them, as if the only problem is the age difference or the vague concept of him being a father figure to the reds and not the fact that he’s. their commanding officer? bc yeah ages and relationship dynamics can be headcanoned or changed but like. he very much is their commanding officer. that is a major part of his character that you can’t strip away. he has significant authority over them. and obviously they’re not exactly a traditional military unit and he has less power than, say, the director would have over the freelancers but he still very much does act as an authority figure to the reds, and he does give them orders that they feel obligated to follow because of said authority for the vast majority of the show. like the latest this explicitly happens is 13? where he puts them on the front lines and they don’t have any say in the matter? like, there’s power dynamics here….

and again do NOT come at me with black and white shipcourse i WILL block you i am not saying this is a ~problematic~ ship girl i write church/flowers okay i am not immune to “isn’t this fucked up power dynamic…. kinda hot?�� what i am saying is. it feels very odd when people refuse to actually acknowledge what the power dynamics are in the ship they’re writing for. you can’t just ignore the way that sarge being their boss would impact the relationship there. and if you do want to do that then i. do not trust you to accurately recognize problematic power dynamics in relationships! i have infinitely more respect for someone who ships donut/sarge and goes “yeah i just wanna see a twink get plowed by his CO” than someone who’s like “ummmm actually there’s no problem with this because they’re both consenting adults”

and obviously none of that is even touching on the fact that sarge is like. physically abusive and that the reds do very much see him as their father figure (especially lopez… i know the show also makes jokes about this but he’s. like. cmon.) and. again. none of that is “wow ur a terrible person if you ship this” but it is. complications that if you choose to ignore and defend these complications as not being a big deal i do not trust you

also. what’s even the appeal if you’re not playing with the dynamics ToT like if the fact that he’s their CO isn’t what you’re exploring then what even is there….. isn’t that literally what their relationship is……… isn’t that what makes it saucy…………. like even if you don’t wanna make it an actively fucked up yet sexy thing even if you are trying to make it into something functional and healthy (highly doubt this is. possible but yknow) isn’t exploring how their past of being in this kinda fucked power dynamic the whole. isn’t that interesting to you……. isn’t that what makes it compelling…… who are you even writing about if you’re not exploring this. why are you even shipping these characters if you’re not actually analyzing what their relationship is. i don’t get iittttt

[theguest2]

feel like im going to retch with overwhelming sadness that i keep swallowing because wallowing and moaning about everything wrong isnt going to help but its going to burst out of me any moment now

[bixels]

i can't express how absolutely important it is that when you make an edgy, brooding, badass character who's tough as nails and good at fighting and whatever, you HAVE to give them at least one reason to become completely helpless and pathetic. you have a panic attack quota to fulfill.
