i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

Just sitting here musing about elain’s book where we may get to see elain using her seer abilities to assist azriel on his spy missions. Or elain interrogating someone while azriel stands close by, ready to step in if necessary

media literacy would automatically go up 100% if people knew how to consume stories without self-inserting themselves into the characters' shoes. "if i were him..." you're NOT. you may relate to his story, his past, his traits, his quirks, his identity but the moment you start treating the story accepting what you feel/think as what the character feels/thinks, you're misunderstanding the story.

Just lost a few braincells reading an nyt article about gen z "treat culture" and I can't even fathom that this is a thing. We're living in a dystopian hellscape where someone spending $5 a week on a cookie is considered a wasteful brat because they should have just gone for a nice free walk instead and saved the $250 a year that roughly equals four days' rent. That's why these ungrateful kids can't buy a house, naturally.

I am ALL for free treats, like hiking or reading in the park. But at some point you can't budget your way out of poverty, and you will literally go mad if you deny yourself basic pleasures that are literally all around you. They even lamented that little treats could snowball into doing something absolutely unforgivable like learning how to play the guitar or buying concert tickets.

At what point do we just start saying out loud that living an enjoyable and fulfilling life is now only acceptable at a 100k+ salary, and if you're one of the millions of people unlucky enough not to be in that category you should just eat dirt and be grateful?

How I sleep at night knowing Feyre is the best girl, leader, painter, mom, Rhys loves her and is not turning evil, Feyre isn’t brainwashed by Rhys, Feyre isn’t turning into Rhys, Feyre isn’t blinded by her love for him, Feysand is the most loved and that it’s only a small portion of the fandom that hates them, and knowing Feysand will forever be the blueprint.

sjm really set up the hottest "forbidden romance, desperate secret sexual escapades, 'hold tight and don't make a sound', longing glances hoping nobody notices, kicking fate in the ass", angst filled romance plot

and the fact that some people still want a "fated mates end up together because the soup pot said so" story is absolutely wild.
