kitten i have to be honest your misunderstanding of what 'death of the author' actually means is getting embarassing and mommy would prefer if you posted less or maybe attended some classes on literary analysis
having sex with your friends is so very normal please stop poisoning the youths minds with shame surrounding hooking up with your friends. especially if you’re gay
learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.
idk if this is a trope or whatever but i love it so much when fictional characters massively downplay the severity of their injuries but in more of a comedic way than a tragic one. like some guy gets impaled and they just glance down at the shard of metal sticking out of them and say some dumb bullshit like "oh man. that's gonna need some ice." and then pass out while all their friends yell at them for being an unfunny idiot with terrible priorities.
It's been a while since your post so you might've gotten an answer already about the brand new Dream situation™️ but in case not, I can try to summarize.
Connor talked briefly about George's sexual offence, with such reasonable points like
he should not have been in this situation in the first place! he's 27, he should know better
it's not surprising to Connor bc he's seen how dteam talks about women publicly and in private, and it's gross
they cultivate an audience of parasocial fans
they should not be telling said audience of impressionable young girls this sort of apologist stuff
he feels complicit for not speaking up earlier, but at the same time it's not his story to tell
Dream's response was his usual manipulative mess of not addressing the very fair criticisms about their behaviour, denying there's anything more going on behind the scene and personally attacking Connor for like... having been friendly with him in the past? I think?
He pointedly does not say anything about his audience or George's behaviour. To me, this feels like an intimidation tactic against anyone who does have a story to tell. And that's why I'm glad Connor is unbothered. Sophie, however, has had to private her account due to harassment.
I haven't followed the situation with her, but I know Dream has leaked dms (he did it with Connor too) and is misrepresenting her criticism of them by pointing to a game of among us (??). I hope she's okay
Wow, this got longer than I thought it'd be. Hope that explains some!
something else I wanted to point out in my post abt misogyny behind the scenes on the dsmp is how, when Niki first came forward very shortly after the dsmp ended to say there was a lot of misogyny from major male ccs behind the scenes, dt fans quickly accepted this as true because she didn't mention any names so it was easy to point fingers at wilbur or other men on the server and pretend her allegation didn't also very much implicate the dt, now that Connor, Sophie, Andi, and others have backed up Niki's claims of misogyny and confirmed that the dt were very much perpetrators of it as well they've suddenly stopped believing her
like idk I feel like nobody has mentioned Niki being basically the first to come out about the misogyny behind the scenes at all and how much of what she said lines up with what Connor said at the beginning of his stream, I just feel like it highlights the hypocrisy and contradictions from dt fans trying to justify why their faves couldn't possibly be perpetrators of misogyny
sorry i bring up this topic all the time but it is like genuinely impressive how badly people just dont want to make transfem hcs . the last time i was talking about them i got an ask making a joke that was like "fandom is misogynistic thats why nobody can treat trans women like people" and someone was like "so true! transfem hcs are so powerful and im not strong enough to make them" and it still baffles me a few months later
I drew these for an AMV that I just finished (check it out on YouTube if you’re curious, link in my pinned post). They’re all 1920x1080, so might make decent wallpapers.
