kind of bothers me to see people go "i view kris as a transboy/transgirl" like.. theyre already trans. theyre non binary.. theyre trans in the game. youre just misgendering them again but deciding its cool and acceptable this time. like obviously trans headcanons are fine but its just kind of weird that you do this for the character that is already canonically transgender

I think we are focusing on the wrong thing when talking about mainstream romantasy adult books, instead of shaming straight cis women for reading kinky books, we should tralk about how most of the newer books aimed at that demographic are just conservative propoganda, rebranding patriarchy as a kink.

Opinions on librarians?

I want my librarian old. Ancient. They must be wise. They must know their tomes. I want to ask them about various niche topics like secret temples or cursed objects, and if they’re good, they’ll go “ahhh… I have just the book for that. follow me” and they’ll bring me to the back of the library where they keeps the evil hidden books. Books with old secrets. No hunger games or demon slayer.

Put on Pirates of the Caribbean (black pearl) as background noise and i cant help but think about Jack's syphilis. It's constantly expressed it was a joke between Makeup (gorgeous job) and Depp (yuck) but.... it's a whole layer to Jack's character that would feel honestly less solid without.

Jack is constantly chasing something that beyond it's shiny treasure qualities... is an immortality. The gold that curses you to never die, the chest with the heart, freedom from the British empire's rapid colonization, ... the fountain of youth (never saw Stranger Tides please don't make me watch it), and escaping the wrath of ghost pirate hunters (hear me out, i did not like Dead Men but it's... duct taped enough). The trilogy is obviously the strongest (Pearl being made then Chest & End being written at the SAME TIME).

I could elaborate but I'm not trying to waste anyone's time if I'm just blabbin.

Small penises aren’t bad, balding isn’t bad, being short isn’t bad, being fat isn’t bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they’re bad) the better.

I feel like I'm going silly with this, and the fact that I also like ahem never really post anymore but i got a recommended video for the "hidden lore"" of the Incredibles.... aka the special features NSA tapes.

I grew up with the DVDs in my house. I basically ate that special features disc up, I had some of the shit in there memorized. It made my heart leap with joy when Edna mentioned Jack Jack's affinity to Mozart bc.... Jack Jack Attack in the Disc 2 had activated his powers when Kari (the babysitter) played it after telling Helen in the movie that she would ["because Mozart makes babies smarter"]. But now the people (as a more mainstream) are finding out about the tapes?????? I can't believe I find myself finally in this position but I can firmly say.... I've already known all of this and you're all just NOW acting like this is huge?

The death of physical media has removed the collective joy of seeing movies flex how much effort and writing went into them when they get to show off worldbuilding and character pieces in the special features without having to wedge it into the movie itself. Anyways Brad Bird I'm SO sorry the sequel happened and they teased a 3rd in the credits when they shat on Pixar's last (iirc) film before the buy-out.

you know instead of white people guilting each other going “I don’t want to blog in an ethnostate” (a real thing I’ve really seen people say) or “omg we’re so white that’s dire” maybe they could actually unpack and address the problems that make Tumblr a difficult space for nonwhite bloggers.

also I don’t think any of us should be taking criticisms from Twitter users - any nonwhite person who’s on Twitter at this point is in bed with literal Nazis, and they don’t get to go “oh wow racist website” at someone while Grok is declaring itself Mecha-Hitler and they stay logged on - but that’s a completely different post.

Asexual people who feel pressured into having sex when they don’t want to and queer people that are afraid or ashamed of having sex even though they want to are actually being repressed by the same societal forces but nobody seems to want to talk about that

me: I'm really not comfortable with this whole "my shayla" meme, it sounds like another thing white people stole from black people that could mean something we shouldn't be using

my good friend internet search:

As someone who has been the only poc in many primarily white spaces I often get asked "How do we get more poc to join us?" Which is kinda a fucked thing to ask and place the burden of figuring out on some random colored in your group but like lucky them I am actually passionate about increasing diversity in all spaces. So I see a bunch of people asking "what can we do about tumblr being so overwhelmingly white?" Of course just like in those other spaces they're placing the burden on others to figure out but let's discuss it.

Just inviting poc to join is not enough, they left for a reason. What needs to be done is fostering an environment that actually feels safe and inviting for those from ethnic and racial minorities. For starters, you see that post by, for, or about poc? You don't need to respond with some manner of "I'm white but..." Also show interest in cultures that aren't your own without prefacing it with how white you are.

Stop mocking aave, it isnt "genz slang", that shit is so embarrassing

Stop being condecending, holy shit the attitude of some of the people here reminds me of every white kid at my old pwi the way you look down on other people who don't have access to the same information you do. If you're an asshole to all the strangers you meet online and the poc on this site are already feeling unwelcome for other reasons, you are the one running them off the site

Stop assuming everyone around you is white. Its becoming like a self fulfilling prophecy atp

Uplift and share around the actual voices of poc on here, and not just on posts about racial justice but just in general. If we feel seen we're more likely not to leave and new poc joining the site won't feel as isolated

Stop being weird about random poc, if you find yourself commenting on a picture of a black woman, stop for a moment and ask yourself "would I use these words for a white woman? does it feel dehumanizing or objectifying?" (Y'all can be so weird about hot black people)

Seriously stop talking about how white you are, idc if you're trying to prove you're "one of the good ones"

Don't use racism as a " gotcha" when youre having your online arguments. It shows how little you actually care about racism as a societal force and you just treat it like a buzzword to shut up the other white people here

Make friends with poc, not just on here but like everywhere in your life that you can. So many people on here don't have any friends who are poc. I get it, maybe you grew up in a bougie white neighborhood where the only poc you saw where the landscaper but like its 2025, there is no longer any excuse. Go talk to people online, I am sure that whatever your interests are there's some poc out there who shares them (and this doesn't mean go seek out poc as your token friend, it means when you do meet poc online treat them with respect and dignity and maybe they'll give you the honor of being your friend

Lastly, care. Care about poc. Care about our pain and struggles. Care about things you have never and will never experience. Care about those victims of police brutality, of genocide, the people being thrown in fucking concentration camps and being ripped away from their families. Show compassion because those are not random hypothetical people, those are the people of color you're asking to join this site.

"Bussin" "goated with the sauce" "and that's on periodt" "omg slayyy" "yaaas queen" "yessirrrr" "goofy ahh" "bro is" "it do be like that" "unc lookin ass" yall would be saying the n word gleefully too if people wouldn't rightfully beat the shit out of you for it

remember kids, the moral of "Irish and Italians weren't even considered White yet!" isn't "because in those times people were so ignorant they didn't think the Irish were white". the moral is "because white is an unreal category created to justify slavery and ongoing hoarding of power and wealth". It's not that you know better about Italians. It's that the boundaries of the higher caste have changed.
