The Walking Dead isn’t the worst show I’ve slogged through, but it’s definitely in the running...

Who knew having your ship go canon could make it that much worse! Norman Reedus probably has a clause in his contract to keeps him from having to put lips on anyone his own age.

I conducted my own investigation because no one listens to me. I got away with it because no one looks at me. Because, unless I have your reports, your coffee,  or your lunch, I’m invisible.

Marvel meme  ► Favourite female characters (2/5) ↳ Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) — Before I worked for SHIELD, I uh…well, I made a name for myself. I have a very specific skillset. I didn’t care who I used it for, or on. I got on SHIELD’s radar in a bad way. Agent Barton was sent to kill me, he made a different call.

Everyone has been talking about Bucky taking a hit for Sam from that unitard wearing fetus, but I’m more stuck on the fact that this fool that can outrun cars is keeping pace with my bird prince while going through the terminal when he could have honestly just hauled ass for the quinjet and I really think that’s a beautiful thing

I'm not a Kylo Ren fan, but people's discourse reminds me a lot of the discourse I see used irt other "bad representations" of mental illness, and it really pisses me off because you know what? I want bad representation. I want representation that deals with how bad and dark the inside of my mind is, and how it could reflect on the outside under different circumstances.

Thanks.

That’s true, but honestly, the thing that pisses me off the most is not at all confined to him or to the horrorshow of fandom discourse around disability or—all of that. It’s this utter bullshit concept, extending far far far beyond fandom, that the acceptability of some behaviour or rhetoric or action is dependent on the character of its target. 

It’s not even restricted to oppression in general. This reminds me a lot of arguments I had back in Avatar fandom about the lead ostensibly defeating an enemy—who was legitimately a terrible person in many ways—and disarming him, then trying to light him on fire. And people seriously argued that burning a disarmed prisoner alive is morally A-OK if they were the aggressor, or sufficiently criminal, or whatever. Those of us going “YOU SHOULDN’T KILL DISARMED PRISONERS???? WTF” were—it just goes to show that fandom hates powerful female characters!!!

That’s really the attitude that I see here: this sense that if we are righteous, and they impure, anything towards them is justified. Whether they ship the wrong otp, or support the wrong governmental policies, or enjoy societal privileges, or are in fact depraved cackling supervillains, doesn’t matter: the wrong ceases to be wrong if the subject is one of the unrighteous.

That entire concept is just completely repugnant. 

And fandom, for all the fixation on representation and call-outs, seems to have little consciousness of just how close this position trends to the same approach in real life. Fictional characters aren’t real. They can seem like it, but they aren’t—they’re vehicles for considering and discussing and making suppositions about real things. The who we’re talking about is far less important than how we’re talking about them. 

People talking about how good people don’t “let” trauma define them is awful whether they’re talking about Kylo Ren or Voldemort or Frodo Baggins—because that line of rhetoric is appalling in itself. And real.

Pondering what-ifs about the last hurrah between Steve/Bucky/Tony lead to the super masochistic idea to draw something Pieta inspired with Bucky and Steve.

Things The Signs Feel That No One Would Typically Expect

(Requested. Check your sun, moon, Saturn, and maybe the ruling sign of the house your sun & Saturn are posited within.)

ARIES || self-loathing. Everyone is vulnerable to negative opinions of themselves, but Aries, like Virgos, often have unrealistically high expectations for themselves. When they don’t achieve the goals they’ve likely overworked themselves for, they can sink into pits of resentment toward their own abilities, even if the fault wasn’t their own. They’re generally so confident and determined that hatred toward themselves is easy to hide.

TAURUS || inadequacy. Taurus are labeled the laziest sign of the Zodiac, and while that may be true, regardless, it is often the source and result of the low expectations they have for themselves. They have a habit of putting too little faith in their own abilities or ambitions, and this causes an almost defeatist attitude, which is, in the end, self-sabotage.

GEMINI || confusion. Geminis are considered very witty and socially intelligent, and that’s because they usually are, but they often experience severe misunderstanding. For as much as they talk, there’s a huge lack of communication. They may find it particularly hard to figure other people out. “Why are they acting this way? What did I do to produce this reaction? Why is their behavior affecting me so much?” Emotions are not their forte.

CANCER || brashness. Cancers aren’t the weak crybabies many stereotypes make them out to be, and can be rather courageous people. They don’t see that in themselves, however, and they dislike the persistent feeling of timidity that they experience. They may try to combat it with irrational, impulsive action, doing things that scare them to offset their lack of faith in their own strength.

LEO || misunderstanding. Leos look like open books to most people, but underneath that golden mask of confidence & exuberance lies a deep-seated feeling of being too different to be comprehended. Their efforts to be friendly manifest in overbearing bossiness; their need to be shown affection manifests in clingy jealousy; their desire to be seen as valuable manifests in vanity. They feel that their true self is hidden by the costume they wear to highlight the most beautiful aspects of themselves, but that covers up the reality and causes them to feel rather alone or unseen.

VIRGO || arrogance. Virgos are expected to be the soft-spoken & self-sacrificing sweethearts of gentleness and grace, and yes, a lot of them are, but being so critical, it’s common for them to find themselves in an unreasonably vain headspace. They often feel that they know best, that they’re the only ones with the ability to complete a task correctly, or that their point of the view is the most logical and anyone who disagrees is ignorant or even unintelligent.

LIBRA || self-righteousness. Libras, being the mediators of the Zodiac, tend to feel a constant, pressing need to be morally correct, and this often leads them to an ability to justify any of their actions. One would assume that a Libra would be far quicker to consider themselves guilty, and this is typically the case, but since they want to be right, they can make anything seem right so that their conscience doesn’t suffer.

SCORPIO || guilt. Scorpios are often perceived as conceited and sanctimonious, but that is all too frequently a false front to protect the profound shame they experience. Scorpios can be exceptionally dark people, and they are painfully aware of this fact; sometimes they scare themselves, and this leads to powerful self-reproach. The holier-than-thou facade and the self-condemnation both stem from the same source – their deep, unique compassion & understanding of what it means to be human.

SAGITTARIUS || regret. Sagittarius are notorious for their “IDGAF” behavior, and it is rarely recognized that they they can care – a lot. They dislike being in the wrong and may blind themselves to their mistakes, but when they recognize their faults and bad decisions, they may sink into profound remorse. They are able to own up to the things they’ve done, but it takes a lot.

CAPRICORN || self-disesteem. Many people assume Capricorns are haughty and unfeelingly ruthless individuals, but if that’s true, it’s because they have little self-worth and regard themselves with disdain. They place their value in their accomplishments, much like Aries, and lead themselves to believe that if they don’t succeed, they will be worthless.

AQUARIUS || loneliness. Aquarius are very emotionally secluded, even if they’re the most social people you know. There will always be a part of them that no one sees, and sometimes, all they want is for that sacred secret to be experienced by someone else. It can be painful to lack direct meaningful contact with other people, but Aquarius don’t think it’s worth making the effort for because they are just too different. They don’t want to waste their beauty on someone who won’t understand, and that leaves them by themselves.

PISCES || apathy. Pisces are unarguably the most compassionate Zodiac sign with boundless empathy & understanding. However, on the other hand, they are susceptible to extreme selfishness if they get stuck ruts of in self-pity. That can lead to a stubborn or even rebellious anger, and anger leads to coldness. This is entirely against their nature, but it happens to more Pisces than you’d think. It’s detrimental to them, too, which only makes it worse.
