#the script flips

[tommyssupercoolblog]

In general, twitter cares more about looking good than being right, and because they value the AESTHETIC more than the reality, there is absolutely no amount of times that a creator can turn directly to the camera and say "I don't care about shipping and fanfiction is fine" and have it get through to them. Because saying they're uncomfortable with it and then harassing people who ship gives the AESTHETIC of a "pure" fandom fighting to "protect" their creators. And selling that look and feeling to yourself can honestly feel really good.

phannie twitter: stop shipping dan and phil it makes them uncomfortable stop saying they kiss on the mouth :(

dan and phil: DATE NIGHT WITH DAN AND PHIL PARTNER PARTNER PET NAMES FETISH CONTENT

alistair/warden is actually killing me though like it’s so easy to get caught up in the fact that they have the fates of nations on their shoulders. they are the heroes of this story, they’ve lost everything that matters to them and they’ll have to give up even more before this is all over - that’s part of the job description. but then they actually interact with each other and you’re brought crashing back down to the realisation that they are just kids falling in love. like it literally doesn’t matter that they’re fighting armies of darkspawn on the daily, their voices are still going to tremble when they say I love you for the first time. their hearts are still going to be racing when they realise they’re about to lose their virginity together. first date on friday, battle of denerim on saturday - it’s just special writing that you can feel the weight of both of those things at the same time in this story.

the thing is, i don’t disagree that what and how you choose to write about things is a reflection of you, the writer, and cannot be divorced from your beliefs and biases. but to assume that anyone can perfectly pick out your beliefs from a piece of fiction you’ve written is an extremely weird and paranoid thing to claim, especially if you’re positing that the secret truth is that the writer is a dangerous person and they’re “revealing” that through fiction that upsets you, personally. at the end of the day, the artist is not the art, and no matter how upsetting, no matter how much you dislike it, no matter how much it disgusts you, you don’t know the person who made it and you can only guess how who they are shaped what they made.

like, really, is it more likely that the secret “belief” that’s being revealed when you’re reading something that is really upsetting to you is that the author is a secret Bad Person™️ who wants all of this fantasy to happen in real life, or that the author knows it’s a safe and normal thing to create upsetting works of fiction and so did that.

What is it about Gemma scout that makes wasians gravitate towards her (me included)

oh boy you're opening up a can of worms here, i hope you knew what you were signing up for when you sent this to me...

honestly i think it's a number of things. the first thing that comes to mind is her race, of course. now we don't know if gemma is canonically wasian, but her actress is, and we can safely assume her character is tibetan (just like dichen) based on her usage of "chomolungma" and "chikhai bardo" in 2x07 which are both tibetan terms. the world of severance really only started touching on race this season with milchick's storyline so we haven't seen the ways that gemma's race has affected her life or treatment thus far, but we can make some assumptions.

in my opinion, the two innies that i think have the strongest racial themes (specific to asian women) are ms. casey and gemma's allentown innie.

there is still a lot of speculation on why ms. casey is like that but i personally believe it's a combination of gemma's special chip, social isolation, and a handful of stints in the break room. regardless, lumon turned the resistant, calculated gemma that we know into the meek, resigned ms. casey. the perfect asian woman, by society's standards. she's soft spoken, she does as she's told, she performs emotional labor for almost the entirety of her life, and she never complains. not even when she's sentenced to death.

then with allentown!gemma, i think the juxtaposition of mauer as her "husband" is kind of a caricature of the white man seeking an asian ~waifu~. while allentown!gemma isn't the docile woman that mauer clearly wants her to be (which is also fascinating to watch her flip the script!), there is still a clear air of entitlement that mauer feels towards her. not only does he pressure her into telling him she loves him, his smug ass also sits in his comfortable chair while gemma agonizes over these dozens and dozens of thank you cards that he forces her to write with her non-dominant hand. it's giving "my wife cooks and cleans and takes care of all the house work while i scratch my balls all day." she also wears red and sits on the ground, which are both symbolic in many asian cultures, but i'm not sure if that was intentional.

i also think her situation in general is something that a lot of us can relate to on some level. she's trapped in a space where she has to heavily monitor her own words, behaviors, and body language to survive. she has to be vigilant and smart, but she can't let on too much or else the people around her will use it against her. it might not be to this extent, but a lot of people of color use masking/code switching in a similar manner to survive.

also she's, like, really hot.

notice how yesterday taash was so not autistic that everyone who said they are were stupid, media illiterate, and projecting? but the second that trick confirmed that they are and validated everything i and other autistic fans have been gaslit about for MONTHS now they're suddenly too autistic and a big walking stereotype? interesting
