I really hate that the responsibility of helping Suguru is placed upon Satoru and Shoko when they were also children who didn't know how to deal with something so intense. Satoru almost died and came back. And Shoko almost lost both her best friends on the same day. None of the three were the same and each dealt with it differently. I don't think any of them didn't go through such bleak phase, more like expressed it in their own way. Satoru overexerted himself until he became a god-like (not that he already wasn't) and Shoko, I guess, withdrew into herself from how open she used to be with the boys. Also, it's hard to notice Suguru's spiralling when their responsibilities and loyalty to the jj world is expected to be greater than to their personal life.
What I am saying is, can we just give some grace to his friends? It should have been the adults who paid more attention to Suguru's health than expecting children to notice and fix it. I hate the higher ups and the clans and the grown ups in the jjk world to expect children to deal with monsters and never check on them again after they literally came back from death. Yaga was close to his kids and he was one of the good ones. He knew how close the trio were. He survived in their messed world long enough to become a teacher. He had a unique technique and knew how those people are treated. He should've picked up on these changes before anyone else. (not that it's all his fault but he is the only adult I can think of right now. And Yuki! Babe just walked in, gave an idea to commit genocide and fucked right out. Stellar move.)
Jjk au where someone fucking notices Getos very obvious depressive episode and actually helps and listens to him.

I don't know exactly how to articulate this but... if you repeatedly show historical fiction women rejecting traditionally female skills/duties and doing swords instead, because swords is obviously the Most Important Thing, you are kind of implying that all the work that has been traditionally done by female hands for millennia was useless all along and not, you know, keeping civilization going. Because it's usually rejected not as a personal preference but as This Is The Important Stuff (male work) and That is The Dumb Useless Stuff (women's work) and that kind of bothers me. The message was supposed to be Vital But Underpaid and Underappreciated, not women's work is insignificant so let's all go do swords.

I have a question for the western world people, well americans really ig, since I am watching these series and people just walk into their house with their outside shoes and sometimes they take it off after getting on their bed, and I have seen this so many times in so many different media, like WHY ARE YOU EVEN DOING THAT? I want to just blow past it, maybe it's an outfit thing since it's on tv and who cares when it's on tv but then there is this stereotype ridiculing the asians. Do people live like this? Why would you take all the germs and dust from the outside to the one place you would be rolling around in? Fuck just watching this is so triggering that it's physically painful, I can feel it under my skin, please tell me real people don't do this.

John Oliver gets it, as usual. AI Slop is one of the best episodes of Last Week Tonight I've seen so far. Gen AI is theft. Those who use it are not authors or artists, they're grifters profiting from real creatives.

Is this funny, or am I too silly?!
“You,” Gwyn hissed, breath trembling with fury, “are being an absolute idiot.”
“Gwyneth,” Solon began.
“Don’t Gwyneth me.”
“That is your name,” he answered, infuriatingly calm.

Okay nothing to do with fandom, I am just curious (read bored) and since I am very active on this blog compared to the others
Tumblr only allows 12 options and I didn't want anyone to feel left out, so I had to clump these together. Comment below if you know your specific type. (I am aware these aren't accurate as they don't factor in the subconscious mind and the tests are conscious choices, and so all of this could just very well be performative and it's hard to determine someone's true "personality" based on this alone, but entertain me here for a bit okay)

I love the fact that half of Velaris is just artisans and somehow Feyre is the first to realise art is therapeutic and opens the first ever art school for children.

gotta be honest I just fundamentally don't get the concept of hatewatching. like sure I've put a dumb movie on during a get together with friends to get silly entertainment out of it. but whenever another disney live action remake or harry potter thing or whatever comes out and I have to see posts on my dash being like "boycott it! if you REALLY have to see how bad it is at least pirate it!!" I'm always like. bitch you live like this? you watch movies you know you'll hate? you take time out of your day - and you have a limited number of days on this earth - to watch a movie you'll hate, when there are so many great movies in the world that you could love? I'll never understand it.

friend just told me that he and his siblings used to play a game called "abraham lincoln and the slimy slug" wherein one person is abraham lincoln, with a full range of motion, and one person is a slimy slug inside a sleeping bag
and they would fight. and of course abraham lincoln would just beat the absolute shit out of the slimy slug

I was so ready to move on from this fandom but I just saw a post with the end-of-the-book disclaimer in MAF with the hotline tip on it, and these were the tags.
#acotar#tamlin#tamlin acotar#pro tamlin#*smiling ominously*
That's it. I have filtered out every tag with Feyre and Rhysand. And this still slipped by because. . . just look at the damn tags. This is clearly a rage bait. This is the kind of behaviour I am talking about.
Anyone who likes Tamlin is fully aware of his shortcomings and know exactly where he went wrong and why, and recognise his efforts to make amends when the chance was presented to him. If someone completely ignores his wrongs, go ahead and preach about abuse and enlighten them or play saviour, whatever you do.
Seriously, do you even have one reason to genuinely hate the character without the abuse as an excuse?
Readers don't condone his behaviour, they sympathise with his trauma, his pain, his fears, his mistakes, the guilt and shame that comes with it. That's called being human and they are doing the most humane thing to do, empathise.
I know psychology is wasted in this fandom because y'all love being fucking nuts. Still. It literally isn't a judgement of your character even if you empathise with the most sinister person to ever exist. In fact it proves the depth of your perception and intelligence.
And you know there are two people in that abuse, actually three. Feyre and Rhysand are not innocent. Feyre abused Tamlin too in the beginning, she wasn't always passive and reacting to her circumstances. She was manipulative and prodding at a cornered man with her constant threats. Still readers empathise with her because they could understand her helplessness and suffocation, that doesn't make her completely blameless.
Since the focus is solely on Tamlin, it is all you are relying on, which proves you don't really care if there was an abuse, you just want a valid excuse to hide behind.
You need ONE woman to tell you that it was abuse? Okay, no judgement there, it's hard to recognise sometimes.
But there are hundreds of men and women across platforms explaining how Rhysand and Cassian are abusive too, the most common, unsuspecting kind too. Where is the outcry for survivors and victims now? Why isn't there an ick for these two men? Why are their fears always understandable? Why, as a woman, you can understand a man's excuses to hide the truth about pregnancy but not the fear of real women in real world who are living that shit and dying?
Just so all this is coming from a published author doesn't mean everything she pens is the fucking truth. She is a very flawed, prejudiced woman who doesn't clearly understand abuse herself. If you base everything on disclaimers alone, you will end up with only the beliefs the world feeds you and lack the criticality to decide if it applies to you or is in alignment with you.
That warning wasn't a fucking gotcha. It fast-tracked the plot by miles with just one simple phone number and some 'heartfelt' words.
It put SJM as a progressive, feminist writer on the map when the literature has always centered around men and at a time people started talking about abuse openly.
IT WAS A MARKETING STRATEGY. You people don't understand how much SJM or the publishing house don't care about you or your welfare but only how to get the money from your pockets.
Even if the author realises how abusive Feysand and Nessian are, she won't add a disclaimer to these book at this point as it boxes them into one genre: Dark Romance. Or something equivalent to it. Instantly it vanishes out of school libraries. Bookstores and public libraries won't flaunt them at their doorsteps. People won't talk about them so freely. As a money maker, you don't want any of that. Have you tried telling your parent you love reading dark content? No one bats an eye at the neat 'Romance' label.
I don't like any of these characters. So I cannot pretend that I don't understand other's distaste when it comes to some of them. But at least have the basic courtesy to seek your people and engage in a non-toxic discourse instead of blasting this shit for clout.

I disagree with the whole 'XX don't owe anything to YY'.
This applies when YY is expecting a relationship and forcing it onto XX when there are explicit signs, said or unsaid, that the latter has no intentions for it.
Morrigan has been leading Azriel for 500 years. As much as she flirts with Cassian to use him as buffer in her friendship, she also does the same with Azriel every time he begins to question her feelings for him, or lack of it. She is actively getting his hopes up once in a while to keep her sexuality hidden (don't know how that works when she has never slept with him or willing to, and she could've stopped with Cassian, I mean, one boytoy should be enough to trick everyone). And when he acts on it, she hurts him by picking other guy in the room. And to make it worse, Cassian and Rhysand also play into this game to indulge her.
Morrigan didn't owe Azriel anything when she rejected him the first time. But after exploiting his feelings for centuries, she owes him an explanation and apology.
The same can be used to explain Elain and Lucien. She can decide how she wants to live her life but stringing him along while pursuing another is mean.
I am starting to feel the women in these series can be cruel to men without reason and they still get a pass because they are *independent* and *girl power* when in truth it has nothing to do with men or their expectations, but if they are decent people. Which they are not.
Cassian and Mor’s relationship is something else.
Let’s forget about how horrible they are to Nesta for a second and point out how they are both horrible friends to Azriel.
If you knew that one of your best friends had a thing for someone why on earth would you go out of your way and sleep this that person???
And as well, instead of just facing the issue head on and putting up a boundary to say you’re not comfortable with what’s going on why would you lead someone on for over 500+ years using their best friend as a buffer????
I actually don’t know which is worse? The mere fact that they claim to be friends with him and then sit there flirting with one another in front of him when you know he has feelings for this girl , that’s just mean.
And before you come for me I know Mor doesn’t ‘owe’ Azriel anything but I think it’s basic decency to be upfront and honest with him.

Assuming these are all based on canon, the current top three is taking me out. But some of the choices are even funnier.
Rhysand? If he becomes Spidey, everyone and their grandmothers will know. He can't shut up about how he is the misunderstood guy. Villains don't get a chance to monologue because he is hogging up all the trauma dump. "Change takes time" Rhysand will be the laziest spiderman to ever exist😂 And Spiderman is all about defying authority and systems in favour of the people. Who will he be defying? Himself?
Same with Cassian and Morrigan. Can't live a double life. They physically won't stop flexing their powers or good deeds.
Lucien is more like Venom. He might do the work but grudgingly. He will be miserable every minute of it. He doesn't want to be here, he doesn't even know how he got here. But he will do it because that boy is possessed by obligations and he wasn't running this show anyway until this point, so whatever.
Azriel. . . okay. Boy doesn't have a sense of right or wrong, or just empathy to begin with. "With great power comes great responsibility" yeah he's out. He's got no time to worry about others when he is busy pitying himself.
And Feyre reminds me of Green Goblin. Ifykyk.
